ENSP2 - X01 Experience

          My first impression about the class and the teacher was that everything would be ordinary, that it would be boring since the relationship in the class and the teacher is formal. I thought of it like that but as the time passed by, I've realized that I feel very happy everytime I attend the class. And then I said, "This class would be great, my classmates and my teacher always create a fun-oriented atmosphere."
           Several weeks have passed. We've had a lot of activities and everytime we finish it, all of us got closer and closer to each other. I find those activities much entertaining that I've decided to call those moments as bonding. We've also had reportings wherein we would have to wear appropriate attires. Most of us looked different, but whether it is the best or worst attire, we all accepted each other. And that's how we became a family. We are not a family that needs a father nor mother, we are a family that whatever happens, we would still bring each other up whenever someone is down.
            But now, we are on our final days. Indeed, everything has their ends, but I say, we don't. Somehow, we would all be walking on different paths, but I know that these different paths would intersect and its final path would lead to success. I wish these guys, my family, to be successful in the future. We may all get separated as we take our paths, but our relationship as a family will never break.

Freedom Writers: Review

Her name is Eva Benitez. She speaks average english but you will surely like her. Everytime she talks, you will probably listen attentively because the way she speaks is different. You can feel her with power, the emotion was there everytime she talks.

His name is Marcus. When you see him in the movie, he looks kind of badass and such, but as soon as Miss G transformed her, you can tell that he is one of the kindest person in the class. The way he speaks is like Eva's, he tells what he exactly feels and that's what made him powerful speaker.

Her name is Victoria. She's the new in the class but got along fast with others. I found her funny because she talks very fast when she's talking to herself and what she says is also funny. She is a powerful speaker because she uses her intelligence to express and persuade other people.

The teachers at their school just simply follow their curriculum by teaching grade school topics and stories which actually made their students to get bored. Every teacher follows that curriculum but this one teacher is exceptional.

Her name is Miss Gruwell aka Miss G. You will probably like the way she teach because it is very unorthodox. She does not simply teach academical lessons, but also moral lessons. She is more than willing to talk or counsel other people and she's comfortable to be with. Her students make diaries about their losses whenever they want to and she reads it then does something to make them feel better.

Miss G showed her power as a teacher by becoming a parent-teacher to her students. She risked her teaching career by exposing her students to real life situations. They've also read books like the Diary of Anne Frank. The students also watched some movies like Holocaust and met some significant people that developed their well being. She was so successful because she transformed an unruly class into a well organized class.

Miss G's students acquired some sense of power because of her. She made them realize that they all have powers, and they can use it for the greater good. One situation is when Eva spoke the truth on the court, knowing that by becoming a witness, she might actually get killed by the murderer. Another situation is when they badly wanted to meet Anne Frank. They've held fund raising activities like "Toast for Change." 

Modal Verbs Quiz

Hi there! Today I took five quizzes about modal verbs and here are my scores. The quiz was hard. Some of the items are tricky; some items depends on the situation; and some might look easy but then when you think further, the other choices could also be appropriate. I picked the best possible answers that I could think of and luckily, I passed them all. For me, the first quiz was the hardest because all the six choices were all similar. Meanwhile, the quizzes from two to four were kind of easy for me because I've encountered them before and there were few choices unlike in the first quiz. The last quiz was the hardest, not to mention that they were 25 items. I passed because I have encountered them before and I just chose the best possible answer.

I've started playing billiards recently, and I tell you that it is hard to play because it requires very high accuracy to shoot the balls and win the game. But I love to be challenged, so I tend to play competitive with it. If I win, my enemy would pay but if I lose, I'll have to pay 15 pesos for the renting fee. I've been playing pool for around three to four months already and I'm happy to say that I'm getting better at it.

Here is Efren "Bata" Reyes, he is a Filipino professional pool player who competes internationally. He had won over 70 international titles, a 14-time Derby City Classic champion, a two-time World Cup champion, and a two-time World Pool League champion. You can watch some of his plays on Youtube and I tell you that he's truly a genius, in which people also call him as the magician. His tactics are very exceptional and you can never predict his thoughts.

He is one of my idols so I want to be like him. I always watch his gameplays on Youtube and I practice his moves whenever I play. But still, I admit that I will never be like him because he's too good. For me, to be one of the best pool players here in Morayta would be enough. Hats off to you sir Efren! :)

Who I wanted to be like... (1)

Playing DotA2 is very hard especially when you play competitively. In order to improve on playing the game, your team must have a full cooperation and be good on playing micro. The real challenge is when you play Solo Rank since you'll be playing with 9 random players who could be good or bad.

His name is Artour Babaev aka Arteezy. He is a professional dota 2 player who had already earned $384,457.19 from 25 tournaments throughout his whole career. He became famous because of his exceptional skills even if he play by himself. He even topped the world leaderboards by just playing solo rank matches.

I wanted to be like him because I see him as a role model. He is one of the best carry players in the game and I also play carry. But frankly speaking, I will never be like him because I'm too noob and he's too pro. I couldn't even play well on high rank matches. If I would become Arteezy even just for a day, I would love to play dota 2 and compete with other top-tier teams throughout the world.

My Life When I Was Young

I used to play playstation 1 when I was young. I've had over fifty games on that console so I never get bored playing with it the whole day. You could even leave me in our house and when you go back, you would still see me playing. You can see the furnitures around me still intact and find no scratch on them or anything. I am not a naughty child because I have never been spoiled by my parents since I was a kid. 

I am a simple and well-mannered kid but timid one. I always prefer to be alone because I am used to it. I rarely get to play with my neighbors that were on the same age bracket as mine because my parents never allowed me to go outside the house. But for me it was fine, since I found the playstation one the most entertaining. I've spent all my childhood life playing with it until my dad gave me a playstation 2. And for crying out loud, it was one of the best moments of my life! 

Then when I was around five years old, I learned to play computer. My brother installed some games, and I play them whenever I have the chance to play computer. I could seldomly use our computer because I have four other siblings and I am the youngest one. So they always bully me whenever I play computer. They will say that they have to use the computer and do something important but in reality, they will just play or surf the internet. 

As we grew older, we tend to fight to each other just to play the computer. So my parents bought laptops for my other siblings and then the computer would be mine. I was so very happy but at the same time sad because the computer was so slow already. I couldn't play games with high graphics so when I reached my second year high school, I asked favor to my parents to buy me a new one. Luckily, they bought me a new computer and I'm still using it today.

Weird Things

I don't have a room for myself so I usually sleep on our living room. There was a bed where I can sleep and it was a double deck. On the upper part of my bed, you can see lots of things. We normally put our items or unused appliances there because no one sleeps in it. You can see the iron of my sister for her hair, a motor helmet of my brother, toys of my nephew, hidden cigarette packs of my brother-in-law and even a lighter. My uncle also had few items there like brass knuckle and a broken playstation one console. I also had items there and most of them are firecrackers. I have forgotten to use it last January. I also put one garlic because I have once read on the internet an article that garlics keeps a positive atmosphere. It is kind of weird but I followed it and I rarely get sick since then. It is fine to keep them all there because I'm still comfortable whenever I sleep.

Short Introduction about myself

Greetings! Let me introduce myself. I am Mark Evalle of BSITAGD from Block X01. I was born on February 20, 1997. I am just a simple eighteen-year-old guy who lives around Caloocan City near Fairview. My favorite hobby is playing computer. I really love to play dota that I do not just play it for fun. I am a local dota player who aspires to participate in local tournaments someday.

In gaming aspect, I can say that I am a fast learner. I can play a game and I can quickly get used to te way it is meant to be played. I never ask for any assistance on playing a certain game even if I am new to it. I prefer to learn things by myself and I give my full concentration whenever I am into it.

Right now, I mostly play MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) games because games in it gets reset everytime a match finishes.

It is a game in which a player controls a single character in one of two teams. The objective is to destroy the opposing team's main structure with the assistance of periodically spawned computer-controlled units that march forward along set paths. Player characters typically have various abilities and advantages that improve over the course of a game and that contribute to a team's overall strategy. A fusion of action games and real-time strategy games, players usually do not construct either buildings or units. - Wikipedia

I am also good in playing MMORPG (Multiplayer Massive Online Role Playing Game.) You can see me online in-game if we are playing the same game. I am also capable of reaching world rankings especially when the game has just been released. I currently stopped playing such games because I do not have much time to play them, being on college level is way more busier than in highschool days that you can just do anything you want with your time.

It is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. - Wikipedia 

I used to play RTS games when I was a kid and I can tell that I'm good at it. I can build structures and train troops fast and that makes me dominate throught the game.

In an RTS, as in other wargames, the participants position and maneuver units and structures under their control to secure areas of the map and/or destroy their opponents' assets. In a typical RTS, it is possible to create additional units and structures during the course of a game. This is generally limited by a requirement to expend accumulated resources. These resources are in turn garnered by controlling special points on the map and/or possessing certain types of units and structures devoted to this purpose. More specifically, the typical game of the RTS genre features resource gathering, base building, in-game technological development and indirect control of units. - Wikipedia
