My First Blog

This is the first blog I have ever made. When I heard that we were going to create a blog I was both nervous and happy at the same time. It was not the happy that is happy it was the kind of happy where I was actually very anxious of making a blog.The year before I thought about the blog as something people who are addicted to the computer do. A year ago I was not used to hearing about this things and so at first I thought it was weird. I would probably think of myself weird if I did this a year ago. So this is my first ever experience in blog making.

The topic I would like to talk about is school. Abbas is not your ordinary school. It is actually very weird if you have just arrived. I have been to 2 schools before and I can really say that, only in Abbas will you experience this. If you were studying at a different school and suddenly go to Abbas you will be in for a shock!

The first thing you would really notice is difference in people. I arrived here and the people that I have just met weren't the people that I am used to. Particularly the old students while the new students were a lot easier to be with. The first time I saw my classmates I was, to be nice shocked. The people were so over reactive especially Bea and Dennise. They were so noisy. My first impression of them was that they were very dramatic. The way they talk would not do well for them if the people they were with aren't used to them. In honesty I didn't speak too much about myself feeling annoyed by the way they talk and their personality. This was because I thought that students, who have been here a year before or more was unique. I would talk about this in my next blog because I don't think it would fit.

The school was also very different. It was very small. I could see children playing around and saw that the place was so small. I also thought that the school should be divided because some of the kids in the lower levels are kinda weird. I understand that some of them have disabilities. For me the school being small made me be around them more and there are some kids who really just annoy me.

The school had only one classroom for the whole entire classroom. It was peculiar. It was the first I have heard about  a school housing the entire high school in one classroom. The result was that you can forge friendships with people older and younger than you. It was fun because they can tell you the feeling of being their age and the things that you have to do when you reach their level. I loved this thing about Abbas.

There were also a bright side to the school being small. It made seeing the very cute children easier. Seeing them be happy makes me smile because I like cute children being happy. This was one of the best parts of having  a small school. The children can make you smile.

My first days was a very weird transitional phase. We arrived in school and then we had to work? I wasn't fully up to it at first so I used this time to get to know the people here. One of the first people I got to know was the guys because they were easier to get along with. I also wished that we had a bigger class. Abbas was definitely new.

The farm,kitchen and classroom chores was all new. I didn't like to do those things before because I was sleepy during that time and it was weird to go farming because I am sure none of us would be farmers when we grew up. I eventually got used to it.

I didn't like the sport we studied in p.e.A big reason is that this sport didn't have us go somewhere and we just did it in school. I would have actually prefer any other ball sport than martial arts. It was not the most fun of sports and it was very tiring. It would take a few days for me to get back to normal after p.e. It was not fun to have moo duk kwan for the whole year.

The term "Marketing and Coffee house" sounded alien for me. It was my first time to hear about it. Marketing was such a fun experience. We went to the wet market and we all experienced the foul smell but with it we also experienced  a very good experience. My first thought on coffee house was that we all had to sit down and talk with  a cup of coffee. I was so wrong we actually had to do something like a talent show. For me now those things are just normal.

My first coffee house was an up and down experience. We had to practice in the science lab. A very small room. It was hot and a lot of people were arguing. It resulted in people getting pist off and people crying. This made me think of these people as so dramatic because they were very sensitive. In the end we performed and it was just average if you consider us as average singers.

Marketing is one of the best experiences you can experience if you go to Abbas. I had fun going to the supermarket with classmates because it made for good bonding time. It was refreshing to eat out after marketting because we also talked with each other during eating. It was very fun.

The field trips in Abbas is the best in my opinion. Other schools go to the same places every year while our field trips are overnight and happens outside the city. We went to Vietnam and Balik Bukid and it was both memorable experiences.

Abbas is a school not as famous as Ateneo,Stella or Davao Christian but this is one school that definitely has no other quite like it.  The people,school space,classroom,activities are all part of the packages. In the end I am also proud to say that I come from Abbas.
