Jejemon is the word of the year!

Ang Official Tambayan ng Jejemons

What is a Jejemon?

        Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or thegrammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways. 
     
      Many of my young Scouts are practicing this "Jejemon" language and I find it very disturbing, honestly. But what is really behind this "trend" that it attracts young people? Let's find out and discover...

The King of All Knots: Bowline

           Are you interested in holding ropes but have never or seldom used their complete advantage? Like, you would tie two or more ropes just for the sake of letting its ends twirl around your pole? Then if that is the case, this blog would be very helpful.
First, we must define a rope
A rope is a string of items attached in one line by or as if by twisting or braiding."

Brief History of Barangay Tinago

As of this moment, you may have discovered two local histories of some of the barangays here in Cebu City. Let me take a quote from a television show, would you agree if they say, "One is not enough, Two is too much, so let's make it one and a half?"

Basic Training Course for Unit Leaders - A Scouter's first step...


          Last July 30 - August 1, 2010, I have finally attended, together with my fellow Scouter-aspirants and elementary teachers of Area VI (provinces of Consolacion – Cordova – Borbon – Camotes Island - Cordova), a training course that I once long dreamed of, and it was held at Cordova Central School, Mactan Island, Cebu.

As a former Scout and currently a “struggling” Scouter of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines of Tejero Elementary School, it is every man’s dream to finally be recognized as official Scout Leaders of a Boy Scout Troop in your local elementary school.

This Basic Training Course for Kawan Leaders (KAB Scouts), Troop Leaders (Boy Scouts) and Outfit Advisors (Senior Scouts) is the first step for you to be called as “Scoutmasters” of your own school. At this moment, we can already handle our own Scout unit for, I believe, we are already equipped with the necessary knowledge in handling such.

The training course was actually very basic. We were taught with the fundamental concepts of understanding “the boy we serve,” which includes getting to know them, their wants and their needs. And for us to fully understand that, we should:
THINK YOUNG,
FEEL YOUNG,
and ACT YOUNG…
