Sick...

So sick!! I had fever yesterday, my temperature was 38.5. And now i have serious colds and cough!! Because I'm sick, I didn't go to my tournament a while ago, and if this isn't gone by Wednesday, I won't be able to come to our family outing on that day. Were going to Bohol on Wednesday. Were supposed to go snorkeling, wave watching, and also swimming. I know that if my cough and colds don't go away, I won't be able to go to Bohol.

Please pray for me that I'll get better and that I'll be able to go to Bohol.

Hostage Taking

Last Monday, a hostage taking occurred at Quirino Grand Stand. A dismissed policeman, Rolando Mendoza, was the hostage taker. He took over a tourist bus filled with Chinese tourists. He said that he wanted to hitch a ride then when he got in, then thats when it all started. The hostage taking took more than 12 hours. And there were 9 people that were killed including the hostage taker.

Now, the citizens of China have declared a "travel ban". Right now they are mourning because of that tragic event. There are hundreds of Chinese mourning since Tuesday. The Chinese are accusing us that there was discrimination when the hostage taking was going on.

I think that the S.W.A.T. team could have done better. They should have made sure that they had all the thing they needed. They forgot their gas mask when they brought the tear gas with them. And they also forgot to bring a ladder. They might have failed in getting the hostages out quickly, but at least Ronaldo Mendoza is now dead and we can all make sure that this will not happen again.

All we can do know is trust the government and pray that this tragedy won't effect our country's tourism than it is now.

12-year Education?

Does any of you want to have 12 years of school?
Or do you still want to have only 10 years of school?

I don't. Having 10 years of education are enough. 12 years are too much! There are already about 40% of children who have dropped out of school and some never went to school. What's the use of adding 2 more years? More kids would drop out of school and more kids won't even go to school. Adding 2 more years will just give us more problems in terms of money. I'm a student, I barely know anything about financial problems or something. But I know that having 12 years of school will give us problems.

12 years of school might help us get jobs easily after graduating, but there can be a lot of disadvantages. Like, financial problems. A lot of money will just disappear when the 12-year education will be implemented. And for sure, the amount of children will double or triple. And that would be a bigger problem. Because, more children will not experience going to school and will not be educated. So please, think very carefully before you decide about implementing the 12-year education.

My Three Dogs

1st dog
My first dog is Lucky. We got him when we were at Israel. When I was 3 years old. He's a Cockapoo. Meaning, he's half Cocker Spaniel and half Poodle. He's very loving, caring and very old. He's already 11 years old.
2nd dog
My second dog is Dexter. I'm his MASTER! And I got him when I was 6 years old. He's a Dachsund. And now he's turning 6 sometime this August. He's affectionate, very protective and cute.
3rd dog
My third dog is Rica. When we bought her, she already had a name so we just stuck with it. I'm also her master. I got her last year.She's also a Dachsund. Now she's already a year old. She's "makulit", super affectionate and she can jump really high.

But even though they are all different, they are all my favorite dogs.
