Starting tomorrow (Aug.21) the University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC) College Department will have no classes and offices until Monday (Aug.25).
The school just recently visited with PAASCU last August 18 & 19. Noting that last Monday was Holiday (observance of Ninoy Aquino’s death anniversary). The UIC was exempted because of the PAASCU visit. Hence, on Thursday the university will have no classes and offices. Friday is also holiday for the Kadayawan celebration and on Monday is National Heroes Day.
Therefore, it will be a five days of long vacation. Some of the students were very happy because they could go back to their homes in the provinces. Others could participate well in the kadayawan actvities. Some could focus studying their lessons and review as it is their midterm exams the following week.
I personally have my scheduled iteniraries this week. On Aug.21, I will attend the Acquaintance Party of TCI (our school newspaper); on Aug. 22, I will watch the movie Pisay at SM Cinema; on Aug. 23, I’ll participate the Team Building Workshop of AMS (Club for Management Students in which I’m also an officer) at Cursillo House and on Aug.24 would be the 1st drafting of our youth apostolates vision-missin.
Better at least I have a long time of rest than the regular days. I hope to include also reviewing my lessons. Hope to cover up from my last exams grade. Enjoy your long vacation everyone. Be vigilant always.
I used to hang-out with my close friend Arnold (he used to be a production staff on a local tv network here in Davao). We may be seen in a cafe or in a restaurant. Sometimes we can be seen in any of the videoke bars in downtown area or in a comedy bar (jokehall) where he used to work as part-time.
We’ve been apart for how many weeks. He has to prepare himself for an interview and training in a call center network. We just update through texting or email. Last Thursday, I received a message from him saying that he has a bad experience in his training. He wanted to meet me in person to share his difficulties. At that night we meet in Yellow Haus Cafe in Mapa. He was so eager to share everything. He told that his trainor don’t like him. They had a confrontation which ends up to a misunderstanding.
After sharing everything we shifted our conversations. I shared about my class in our ENG5 (Business Correspondence). I said that during our examination, we were asked to correct the writing of this as part of the business letter: subject, information technology assessment. According to our professor, the correct answer was: Subject: Information Technology Assessment. But I was doubt in the answer.
In my experienced working as a Junior Staff in a Pastoral Agency, we normally do it in this way: SUBJECT: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT. I told him that I consulted our University Grammarian. Our grammarian told that my answer was correct and it always used in the way I answered in my examination. I was thinking if who says right? Our school grammarian or my Proffessor (completing its dissertation).
Afterwards, I don’t know what comes in his mind. He then asked me to translate in english this filipino sentence: Pang-ilang Presidente si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? Grrrr!!!!Honestly, I’m not good in grammar. Absent ko ato pagtudlo!.hehehe. After a few minutes of thinking I couldn’t translate it. He then revealed the answer.
How about you? Can you translate it in english?
Pang-ilang Presidente si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo?
Could you also help me as to what is the correct writing of this as part of the business letter?
subject, information technology assessment
It’s almost midnight. We had a long conversation. We decided to go home since I still have a class the following day. When I arrived home, I wrote it in my notebook and will search it in the library or internet.
