 Ang kwento ng aming pagkakaibigan                         Ang aming pagkakaibigan ay nagsimula noong grade 5. New student siya at sa kabilang seksyon kaya hindi kami gaano magkakilala. Meron silang ibang grupo ng magkakaibigan na siya ay kasali, at ibang grupo naman ako. Pumasok ako sa Volleyball team at dun ko siya nakilala. Mas naging close kami noong grade 6 dahil naging magklasmate kami. Unti-unti kong nalaman na magkaparehas kami ng mga interes at dun parati na kaming nagkakausap.  Parati na kaming magkasama, kahit saan kami pumunta. Naging mas masaya ang aming pagkakaibigan dahil pumasok sa grupo namin si Arthur at doon mas naging masaya na ang lahat. Pares kaming tatlo ng interes. Nauunawaan namin ang isa't isa. Magkasama kumain, pati pagbili ng pagkain magkasama kaming tatlo.  Si larjah ay maunawain, matulungin, papakinggan ka kahit ang haba ng sinasabi mo. Di ka iiwan kahit kailan. Parati kami...

 You are Gorgeous My calligraphy is based on what I see. When you say gorgeous its not about being perfect, being pretty, its about accepting who you are in your imperfections, and that's what makes you unique I drew a little butterfly because they are pretty but imperfect. They might not have the same shade as the other wing, the size of their wing might be bigger than the others but they still they fly and we always say that " Hey that butterfly is more unique than the other one" I am not saying we should compare but that's how we see things we see the imperfection of each person that we actually start to think that they are unique because I don't have that, It's like 5 % of the people of the entire world have that and I'm part of the 95 % who doesn't have that. The colors represent that even if you think you don't fit(green) like the others, just remember that you just need the right artist to make you stand out. That artist is yourself, you thi...

 Bawu (chinese woodwind instrument) The Bawu is a wind instrument in China. Although it's shaped like a flute, it's really a free reed instrument with a single metal reed. It's played in a transverse way. It has a pure, clarinet-like timbre, and its playing technique incorporates the use of a lot of ornamentation, especially bending tones.  Cover of Bawu  HOW TO PLAY A BAWU The player must cover the reed tightly with the mouth and exert considerable air pressure to sustain the vibration of the reed. Bawu is only capable of a single octave and, unlike free reed mouth organs, only exhalation is done. How to play a Bawu Credits: Words: (Wikapedia, LE  2019 October 12)  What is Bawu?

 BATIK PATTERN by Vanissa Patalinghug                                                  The word batik is thought to be derived from the word ' ambatik'  which translated means 'a cloth with little dots'. The suffix ' tik'  means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. Batik may also originate from the Javanese word ' tritik'  which describes a resist process for dying where the patterns are reserved on the textiles by tying and sewing areas prior to dying, similar to tie dye techniques. Another Javanese phase for the mystical experience of making batik is “ mbatik manah ” which means “drawing a batik design on the heart”.                                     Here I am drawing a batik pattern on a paper.  ...
