AEP Blog #2.2 “Pen and paper”



(Before I start, I would just like to add how long it has been since I last put a generic title. Oddly enough I really could not think of a good one. I love titles… this is something I won’t forget.) 

A pleasant good day to you dear reader~ Welcome back to another special blog made by yours truly. [Just imagine I am throwing heart emojis over here.. PEW PEW!]

As I sit down to write another blog, it's hard to think that December is just around the corner. Honestly you can hear all the christmas music(eveb 2x louder than before.. not saying it didn’t start in september!!!).Its crazy to me that in just two days, we’ll reach the final month of 2023. Time was such (and is still) an ungraspable concept to me. And to go more into this situation — the Student Parliament has been more stressed than ever. I really wanted us to start prepping for the year end party much earlier but It wasn’t possible because everyone is so busy. To note that this program is one of the biggest programs we’ll be working on. 


Well, thats the life of a student right? 


About AEP though, Ms. Disa has been steering our class towards a more traditional teaching approach, a short rewind of the times before the digital phase came (And before COVID-19 hit). The return to traditional has not only improved my connection with the content but has also reinforced the significance of each word. 


Although the practice lacks on my side, especially since you’ll have to use the words or else you’ll forget them!:(( 


Its really surreal to me nowadays that how much I missed having normal seatwork on paper. Especially in AEP. Since most of the subjects already do have seatwork on paper, AEP was just one of the last subjects to implement and I didn’t realise just how much of a difference it made to me. 


The school holidays are coming up so I hope everyone gets a good rest!! Good luck with your exams!

See you in the next one!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
