AWESOME EXPERIENCE

Last week, the grandfather of my girlfriend had passed away. Her grandfather was really old enough and was known for being a good person in the place. My girlfriend wanted to go home to attend the funeral rites. It's a little bit far and it took 1 hr. to travel. I asked her if I could go with her and she said yes. We're planning about going few months ago. It is on the mountain, so, the place might not surprise me because I was born on the mountain too. But it was almost 12 years that I've been living on the town. I have adapted a different environment during that 12 years and I thought going back to the mountain would surprise me. On the place where I was born, few years ago, if we wanted to go to the town, we needed to walk for at least 1 1/2 hr. But that was few years ago. Today, if I want to go to the mountain, motorcycles would take me on the front of our house. Going back to my girlfriend's case. There are two ways to get there. 1. two rides, which means we need to ride a bus and stop at the neighboring town to the south and look for a motorcycle to bring us uphill, or 2. wait a bus coming from the city which route is directly to the place where we're going. We took the 2nd option... The place I am talking about is Mantalongon - a mountain barangay in the Municipality of Dalaguete which is located southward from Cebu City. It is called "Little Baguio" because of its climate which is closely similar to Baguio City. I was a little bit scared because I heard stories that going to that place is so risky - an accident prone area. This is all about the road carved on the side of cliffs. There's one particular area where the road is very narrow which is good for only one mini-bus.

This was written two weeks ago... I need to publish this even it is not yet done. :D

LET'S TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS

This is not to offend anybody. I just want clarify about fairness or favoritism... etc. What I am writing about is only a response on what I've encountered that I personally get affected - when there is a stimuli, there is always a response. It's all started when our drawing instructor checked our activities. He emphasized about lettering with specific measurement. He always reminds us that "it doesn't matter how neat is the drawing is if the lettering is poor, the whole drawing will be spoiled". And not just that, there's a lot more rules on how to make the activity properly. I really appreciate all those rules, although we had those rules already in our minds but not as strict as that of present. This would be a great help for us that we could at least make our activities with certain guidelines and rules to be followed. We were very careful doing our activities last time. The great thing was, our instructor kept watching us on how we did our activity so that we would be guided. When I already done mine, I didn't consult him first because I knew that it'd be alright. Not to boast, my activity if perfectly done not talking about the lettering. I was having a poor lettering with my activity that time, honestly. So, no questions about the object - the Isometric and Orthographic Drawing. Our drawing instructor didn't check mine and some others because of our poor lettering. Without any complain, I took mine back and I will do it again. The bad thing was there were some activities that objects are questionable. The three views of Orthographic drawing are not properly constructed and our instructor already gave rating to it with 90, while he didn't check mine which the orthographic drawing properly constructed. Well, lettering matters not the objects? I am willing to redo my activity again but how about the one which the drawing was constructed imperfectly? Is this favoritism or what? It's not only this thing. Instructors have specific subjects to handle and should discuss everything related the subjects. But it's totally different on what had happened just recently. Our instructor talked and talked which were not related to the drawing subject until we didn't have much time to redo our activities. This happened many times and I never complained but I think this is the time to talk about fairness.

Again, this is not to offend anybody. I just want to clarify.
