Anis' AEP Diaries 2.4 - A Glimpse of The Story About Scrabble

  Season 2: Episode 4 🎀 

Thursday, February 2nd 2023 

Unfortunately, with a heavy heart, I announce that I still am backtracked from school work (that includes AEP). 

For most, blogging seems to be a routine that could potentially be seen as a matter that is far more than tedious. But, I for one have a biased liking to it. Many do ask me why I love writing – though of course, many other people are excellent at it. As for me, I prefer the wind to sweep me away and lead me to any path it desires. 

Back in the old days when the motivation to write started to bubble up in me, I would have always grabbed a random journal, or even opened up a fresh Google document to spill my thoughts into. Now that blog in AEP exists, it has truly become the place where I consider it my diary. Sometimes the things I wrote won’t even relate to AEP (apologies Ms. Disa, I am an over-sharer). 

Scrabble. Yes, scrabble. This is a thought I have been questioning a lot this school year – why have I only played scrabble once, or not even once. Despite the fact that my memory box is 2cm by 2cm, I could not remember the days that I visited a scrabble board. Maybe I have been absent a little bit too much during “game week”! 

It is common to hear that human beings crave to fill this sense of longing towards a place, or towards a person. However, in this case, it is scrabble. There is not one one, but many active side-eyes that shoot my way whenever I say that I miss playing scrabble. For me, it is not just a game, but also an encapsulation of my childhood and my relationship with my mother. Growing up, it was her who introduced me to the game which eventually led me to playing competitions which I so proudly always brags about. 

Our board play was interesting this time, we not only tried to score as much as we could, but too attempted to use new, unheard words. Allows me to introduce everyone to the words – haes, lored and boa. Do not repeat this action, but you could say that we were pretty much tempted to make our own new words so we could place them in the high-scoring position like double and triple word! 

In the last game, Nurin and Izzah had won the first place as they were smart to have hit a jackpot, scoring a whopping 56 points in one move. They had used the extension of the letter “S” to form the word rebukes and added their own word which was ways. May I mind you that the letter S landed on a double word, nasty move! Anyways, kudos to them :D

Come and see me again in my next blog and we shall soon witness what I have to bring to the table.

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.
