POPE JOHN PAUL THE 23rd SEMINARY

Time: 7:00 – 7:30

As what I have seen in this place, the seminarians were hospitable. One seminarian went to the teachers, you know what, he was an alumni of Holy Cross High School and wants to be a priest. That place was very wide. It can/may be a picnic place for the family. They allowed us to tour around their plaza and garden, then we took pictures. That place was also clean and green. The place is helpful to the community in the way of being religious and in the way of believing God. People who are living there are the seminarians, who will be priests sooner. This place is also helpful because it is wide and can be a place for family picnics. It can be also a tourist spot because it is wide and clean for touring around their seminary. Most especially, this place can be used as a place for the students.

CARMELITE MONASTERY

Time: 7:30 – 7:45

This place was calm, clean and has cool air to breathe. The people, who were there, were hospitable. They welcomed us when we went to their place there. They brought us to their chapel. In the Chapel, we prayed a lot for our safe trip. The place is helpful in the way of being prayerful. I think all the people living there are nuns and they are always praying to God. The place is also wide. It is full of plants, trees and designs. This place also has cool air for breathing.

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY

Time: 7:45 – 8:30

The place is clean and well managed by the management. The students were hospitable when we visited their place. They welcomed us with a smile and they keep on asking what school we came from. They are helping each other because they are having some activities like playing chess and others. This place has also Science and Technology buildings. They have a doctor named Dr. Victor M. Barosa. The place is helpful in the way of being intelligent and responsible. The school can help many children to learn more new knowledge like Holy Crossians. They are responsible because they welcomed and smiled to us when we went there. They are friendly to us because they want us to tell our names to make us friends. It can also make students realize that study is very important to us children.

SANGGUNIANG PANLALAWIGAN

Time: 8:30 – 9:00

The place was wide and clean. When we went there, they welcomed us with smile. Atty. Eliseo R. Libed oriented us about the V-Gov. Jose Ma. Zubiri. He also told us the things that the V-Governor will do in our province. Atty. Libed oriented us in the governor’s meeting room.

After our orientation we took pictures and went on the 2^nd floor. We also realized that it is hard to be a politician because there will be more responsibilities to do, not only in our province but also in our country.

KAAMULAN GROUNDS

Time: 9:20 – 9:30

When we went there at Kaamulan, we saw a big house made of wood. At the side of the house there is a wall for wall climbing.

Unfortunately, we were only allowed to enjoy and took some pictures within 5 – 10 minutes.

SAN ISIDRO COLLEGE

Time: 9:30 – 10:00

As what I have observed, the students of San Isidro College were hospitable. It is a clean and well managed school. When we went there, they were celebrating the “BUWAN NG WIKA”. The students were grateful because we got the chance to visit them and we were also happy because we discovered and learned a lot from their school. They have rooms for students’ seminars, laboratories for Speech, Science, and others. They also have a mini hospital that can be used nursing students. It can also be used by some patients for regular check-ups and for curing some minor injuries. The place is very helpful in the way of making the students responsible and smart. This school is clean and well managed. This school helps children who are in need teachings for their future days. This school can also inspire other children who do go to school because I think they taught their students to be good and have self-discipline. It can also make students realize that study is very important to us children.

RR SPRING RESORT

Time: 10:00 – 10:45

This place is clean and wide but it was very hot in there because there are no trees to cover you under the heat of the sun. On that place we also took pictures and have some fun on the fishing pond because we saw big catfishes. There were also statues of big animals like giraffes, elephants and others. Behind RR resort is Pulangi River, some of my classmates took pictures on it. That river makes the resort beautiful because Pulangi River is wide and clean.

WAIG SPRING RESORT

Time: 12:00 – 2:00

Waig is a beautiful place. There we can swim, swim and swim. We can go there with our family for bonding. That place can make you smile because there are many people who loves to go and swim there. If you go there, there are hanging bridge and cable cars. I’m sure you’ll enjoy there with your family, relatives, friends and others. This place is very enjoyable. This resort is helpful to the community in the way of making people happy, even though there are many problems. This resort enjoys the family who are going together on that place for family reunions and others. This can make people awake, alert, alive and enthusiastic on the time that they will go to swim or only touch the water because it’s very cold. You will also enjoy the cable cars, passing the hanging bridge and especially in swimming.

CRYSTAL SUGAR MINING

Time: 2:00 - 4:00

Crystal Sugar Milling is a big company. It has big machines for making sugar. The workers who were there are helping/teaching us to understand more about the sugar and how to make sugar. Did you know that it came from a sugar cane? They also told us that brown sugar is safer than the white sugar. Raw sugar (brown) needs more carbon to produce refine sugar (white). They can produce 500 sacks of sugar in 8 hours. The owner of it is Manuel H. Nieto and the President; Pablo L. Lobregat. It can help people in the way of being critical thinker. It’s because the owner discovered the sugar cane that it can produce sugar. It can help person discover more and they can contribute to our country. Sugar also can make our food sweet and can be used in mixing your tea, coffee, milk and others.

As what they have told us, boilers makes electricity, cane makes into raw sugar and raw sugar into refined sugar needs more carbon.

With the help of the lime, the extract of the juice are being mixed

500 sacks of sugar are made in 8 hours. Raw sugar is more safer than refine sugar.

The Crystal Sugar Milling is a beautiful place. When we went there, we saw big machines that will make sugar cane into sugar. Before we get inside we must be oriented by their assigned tour guide. After those orientations, we went inside and then toured around their milling place and then they shared to us the different things inside their milling place. This is the cycle of sugar: Scale House—truck canes Vacuum Pans—Final Molasses

Shredder Rollers — Mixed Juice Scale MJ tank —Heating —Liming Clarifiers —Clear juice Muddy Juice Evaporate Syrup Syrup Tank Fertilizers

Cane

Juice Juice Juice Juice Syrup

5 Rollers

CENTRAL MINDANAO UNIVERSITY

Time: 4:00 – 4:30

When we went at CMU, we saw some students smiling to us but unfortunately, we are not allowed to tour around and even in getting out the van at that place.

CMU students welcomed us with beautiful smiles. They waved their hands to us and we said hi! Then we went outside their campus.

Autobiography

I am Ralph Niño Vincent P. Datoy, "Niño" for short. I was born on September 23, 1995 at Cebu City, Cebu. I am the youngest in the family. I have an elder sister named Marie Angeli P. Datoy. She is now a 3rd year college. My parents are Mr. Priscelo R. Datoy and Mrs. Mary Bernadette P. Datoy. My mother worked at Hall of Justice as a government employee (Clerk III) at Cagayan de Oro City. My father's work is none but when we lived in Cebu City, he worked at Mercedes Benz Company in Manila but he resigned because of his loneliness and he missed us.

My life was or is so very thankful because God gave me my family especially my parents. My parents were good and understandable because since I was at infancy, they didn't spank or hurt me physically. i am proud of them because of their patience. Another thing is my life have misunderstandings in the family that was the difficult challenge in my life. I am a person who easily gets angry when you tease or do something bad to me even if I didn't hurt or do something to you. And lastly, I always pray to God because of my good health and knowledge that He has given me.

When I was still in elementary I have friends and teachers that guided me in school except for my parents because they always guide me everywhere. And also when I was still in elementary, I was an honor student. In grade one, I was in 2nd honor; grade two, 3rd honor; grade 3, 4th honor, grade 4 I was in 6th honors, grade 5 i was in 5th honors. and in grade six, I graduated as the 7th honorable mention in my batch. And during my first year in high school, I excelled in my academics and received the fifth honor award. My rankings became higher to lower because temptation is unavoidable sometimes. When I was also in elementary I was one of the MTAP participants from grade 2-3 and first year high school.

These or this is the story of my success.

this is my official blogsite for english 2 :)
