Anis' AEP Diaries 2.5 - Sentimental and Growing Up

 Season 2 : Episode 5 🎀 

Thursday, February 15th 2024 

In the midst of a crazy maze towards the end of term two, numerous signs have emphasized on the importance of taking a break. 

Nothing more, nothing less, we jogged our brains by playing squardle in which surprisingly we had found multiple bonus words, yeay! I am pretty sure that we have gone through enough word games to be granted the title of “master of English” – I am not joking. 

Our recent class in AEP this Wednesday could be categorized as wrap up and zip your luggage class as we are finally accumulating and appling all the acquired skills in previous lessons. Other than the fact that the essay we had written completely obliterated our precious 15 minutes as everyone in the class had an existential crisis, I particularly enjoyed it. All thanks to Ms. Disa though, she shone through the dark and sprinkled some wisdom which comforted our anxious selves. She had mentioned that it is truly a normal event and you do NOT need to call 911 for it. 

Ms. Disa had given us the task to write a letter expressing our passions on why we should be taken as the role we offered. I figured out that in this era of uncertainty, us students shall be fully prepared to encounter future events. If you ask how, it could be answered through being flexible. Though originally, I had wanted to be a psychologist, I figured that it was maybe time that I keep my options open. As a result of this, I had written to “fashion designer” which would truly be a backup if things don’t work out in the future. 

Writing about it has cleared the fog surrounding my passion about it. It may seem trivial, but with my utmost dedication to preserve my culture’s traditional textile, I finally translated it properly. See, these kinds of topics are often talked and pondered about, but never internalized through. Most of the time, career talks are hypothetical but the task helped me in delving deeper into the roots of my interest. 

A random input, I will actually miss the classical music in AEP lessons. Although sometimes when the super extra violin ones come through and it makes me feel like I’m in a battle zone, it has become a core memory. Thank you Ms. Disa for everything (tears in my eyes a little bit). In a nutshell, these past few lessons have really made me appreciate more of what I have in the present.

    How can you not feel the passion in Vivaldi's violin? ... I grew up in a house full of opera..imagine..OMG how I hated it, but my love of Rennaisance music is mainly due to my mother's influence. But opera at 6am is my limit, I do not do that. Vivaldi on the other hand🤣

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...
