AEP Blog #1.5 " Adjacent scenarios"

Good day, dear readers! 

Today, as I sit down to pen (well.. more like type) another chapter of my life in this cozy little corner of FIS wonders,,, I can already hear the sighs of students knowing the fact this week is the equivalent of stress week. All quizzes, added with how we have..

1st term FINAL EXAMS!

Its the big boss, the first among the three. 

Regardless, as I scratch my head, gazing out the window at the.. buildings (okay.. I really cannot sound poetic in Manila) , I find myself pulling my hair out because of exam week, which is just around the corner. 

But theres always our favorite English class, AEP.

Yes, you heard it right. Nowadays, AEP is not just another english subject; it's a motivating force to be honest, urging me to rise above the chaos of quizzes and assessments that threaten to whack my sanity. It's like a room where all the weight of the land of.. well.. schoolwork lifts off my shoulders as soon as I step into Ms. Disa's classroom.

Before I dive deeper into the week's adventures, I want to take a moment to wish Ms. Disa a very happy birthday! I still cant believe I had you as a teacher for pretty much my entire school life , from prep all the way to grade 11 and soon to be grade 12! I want you to know that I read all your comments on my blogs, even though I can't always find the time to reply – the login struggle is real, but I mentally reply to them and really appreciate everything I learnt from you all these years Ms T~T

AEP isn't just an English subject; it's a place where I can make mistakes and learn from them without fear. It's a place where the creative and the analytical stay in the same place without a fire starting and the whole campus burning (unless.?) , creating an atmosphere where growth feels not only possible but needed from each of us.

One of the things I truly appreciate about AEP is our regular word games during the first part of our class. Despite myself arriving late sometimes, I still appreciate how easy it is for me and my classmates to connect without immediately forcing ourselves to create conversations with each other at 8:30 in a Wednesday morning. Instead, we train our brains and laugh along the way while Ms Disa says a random word to solve our misery since we have been stuck in one missing word for so long. 

Trust me, I'd do that for hours. 

Well.. getting myself ready for all the adjacent scenarios (hehe) for these weeks, months and gosh the entire school year; I still remain constantly thankful for the way Ms structures our lessons especially with some days being JUST seatwork.

Anyway, thank you for reading this one! 

P.S. This was the first blog so far this year that I wrote(typed) using my laptop. Feels very odd,,

    Wow...such a long blog, and I blush...and I'm also embarrassed because it's almost the end if the holidays and I have made myself sit down to fi ish coolsis. Life took over and I am also very guilty of being behind with my schoolwork.If you don't keep ontop of it daily, or get distracted ( for me this was a ball of wool, I've started crocheting again and I can do it a whole day!) it soon consumes you...I also have a poorly kitty on the verge of life and death I'm caring for..hehe yes its true but to be honest I just didn't want to switch on my computer.
    Thanks for your blog though. 😊

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
