Ang Alamat ng Ice Cream

THE LEGEND OF ICE CREAM

Long time ago in the city of Manila, there lived a teenage boy named Betilio who loves to travel around. One day while he was wondering in the forest he saw a wounded carabao. He immediately helped the carabao by covering its wounds with leaves. After helping the wounded carabao he heard a faint voice say thank you. “Who could that be ? “ asked Betilio he wonders where that voice came from. Minutes later he heard another faint voice “turn around “ said the faint voice. Betilio was so shocked when he turned around and found out that the faint voice was coming from the carabao. “ As a reward for helping me you can drink my milk “ said the carabao  “ why would I want to drink your milk?” said Betilio “because it would give you superpowers “ Super Powers!? “ said Betilio looking very shocked and excited at the same time. He quickly returned home and get a bucket to milk the carabao .

After getting the bucket he immediately milked the carabao and chugged down the milk straight from the bucket.  Lights flashed around him as he drank the milk then he took the form of a half man half carabao creature.  He gained super strength and the ability to shoot out milk.  Now whenever there’s trouble in town he would always come to the rescue.  The town’s people began calling him “Boy Kalabaw” since he looks like a carabao.

          One  day while Betilio was taking his siesta under a narra tree, he heard the town’s people screaming in terror.  “Help us Boy Kalabaw! “, Shouted the town’s people, Betilio immediately transformed into boy kalabaw when he heard the town’s people.  He saw an old man floating turning everything into ice.  “Who are you and why are you turning things into ice?!”, asked Betilio. “I’m a powerful ice wizard and I’ll turn everything in this tropical country into ice!", replied the old man.  The ice wizard tried to blast a young lady with his powers. Luckily boy kalabaw pushed the young lady away from the ice wizard’s attack.  Boy kalabaw asked the young lady if she was all right “ I’m all right “  said the young lady then the two started asking each other’s name “ I’m Soria “ said the young lady “ I’m ….” The ice wizard blasted him with his powers before he could even say his name in return Betilio blasted the ice wizard with all of his powers the milk reacted with the ice and it turned into a cold creamy white substance. The Ice wizard died and peace was restored to their town while soria and Betilio got married and had many children. The town’s people began calling the creamy substance “sorbetilio” in honor of Betilio and Soria until later on it became “sorbetes“ or “ ice-cream” in English. Their children invented the different flavours of ice-cream which we love to eat during summer today.

  Last week was my first periodical examination day at CCSHS.  I admit that I was quite nervous at first

Because I know that I’m about to take an exam in a science high school and of course I expect the 

questions to be difficult . During the exam the first set that was given to us was research and English

I chose to answer English first because I expect the exam in research to be really hard and that It

would consume a lot of time for  me to answer it . After finishing the exam in English I began

answering  the exam in research  I was surprised that I actually  knew most of the questions that

were asked in the test. I was so happy to know that I got a score of 45 over 50 in the test I was so

happy to be able to pass the research exam and to have a high score in it I pray to god that I may

also pass the other exam’s in other subjects as well.  

 

     This Saturday we watched a film in the AVR . The film was entitled   “ Ang mga Munting Tinig “ it

was  about a city girl who moved to the province to be a substitute teacher .  I find the film quite

touching because the film shows how kids in the province live. It shows that their own parents force

them to stop studying to help them  work and earn money. The people in that province believes that

education is just a waste of time and that dreaming is only for rich people. The teacher there now

faces the challenge of changing their beliefs on education and to convince them to let their children

go to school. I admit that some of us felt a bit guilty watching the film because there was a part

there where the girl begs her mother to let her to continue studying. While in our case we would

often hope for the classes to be suspended whenever it’s raining.  While watching the film I realized

how lucky I am to be able to study especially in a science base high school.  The movie inspired me to

study harder and to do better at school. The intrams would be the next big event after the exam 

and I ‘m  quite excited about it because all day we’re just going to play games and have fun . I also

think that it would be the time for us to relax and recover from the stress brought by the

exams.Thank you sir  for giving us a wonderful week.

Gen Sci Week of 8-12Aug2011

Last week before having our exams we had a quiz bee type of review. I had fun while doing

the review  and what made me even happier is that our group is one of the two groups who

won the game and our score in that quiz bee would be our additional grade. During the

examination in general science I find the review we had to be quite helpful because some of

the questions there were asked in our review.  After our exam I was excited to check our

papers and see my score but we checked the papers of parsec instead. I guess that checking the other section’s papers would help reduce the tension because I admit I’m still a bit

nervous about my score in general science.  After the exams we’ll be having our Intramurals.

I think that it would be a nice time to relax and recover from the stress brought by the

exams. 

  

Now that the first quarter is over I hope that I could make it to the next quarter. Some say

that 2^nd quarter is harder than the 1^st quarter . Some also say that you would need to adjust

a bit in the 2^nd quarter because there will be more assignments ; the lessons will be more

difficult and the projects will be harder.  I admit that hearing those actually got me nervous

for the next quarter but I know that with the right attitude towards studying I can make it

through until the 4^th quarter.  I still get to be very proud to myself every time I think about

the fact that I’ve already finished the 1^st quarter.  I hope that I would be fine in the next

quarter as well and that I may still continue on studying here until 4^th year .  Thank you Ms.

Montemayor  for giving us a wonderful quarter I learned a lot and I also had a lot of fun.

I’m sure that I  would learn new things again and have fun in the next quarter that you’ll be

my teacher in general science.

August: Week 1: Research

Last week was a bit stressful because our research project’s deadline is getting near and yet we still

have a lot of work to do to complete our project.  Fortunately we managed to submit our project on

time. I thank my mom for helping me with my project I couldn’t have finish it without her. In this

project I learned to value time and not waste it I also learned that I should do my projects as early as

possible to avoid cramming. Now that my high school life is getting harder I don’t really think that I

should give up yet because I’m still in first year if I would give up on problems like this  then that

means that I couldn’t possibly take on the challenges that I am about to face in the future. So every

time I just keep in mind that I’m not going to be  intimidated by the challenges that this school is going

to give me. I think that studying in this school is an opportunity and I for one wouldn’t waste that

opportunity. I say all of this to motivate me and keep me strong in staying here in calsci. But the one

who makes me strong the most is the lord  I thank him for giving me hope that I could survive here in

calsci. and  for  always guiding me in my everyday life.

         Now about our lessons last week  it was Interesting I think  because  its’ all about  “ description

 of a mechanism “.  We had little activity about this to start  the topic .The activity is fun because we

get to use our imagination while doing it the activity is all about drawing and describing the features

of your imaginary machine that could help mankind. We were group into four’s and five’s to

brainstorm about our imaginary machine.  We thought  that we should think of a machine that could

do almost everything.  We also thought that it should be portable. Until one of my group mates

said that our machine should be a pen which can do a lot of things. Everyone liked the idea so we all

agreed to work on it .  Everyone shared  their idea  on what the machine should be able to do.  Some 

of the features of our machine are : the ability to analyze the question in a test and  answer it

correctly; the ability to turn into a spatula ; the ability to  turn into a laser sword  and many others.  I

think our work is very creative but our teacher said that since our topic is about “ description of

mechanism”  we need to describe how each  function works and how each parts look like for the

readers to understand the machine.  Thank you teacher for  sharing your knowledge to us.
