Wazzup Pilipinas!

The radiance of the Filipino Youth’s dreams for the nation rivaled that of the sun last May 8-12, 2017 at Villa Soledad Beach Resort, Bolinao, Pangasinan as the 79 participants of the 39th Annual Summer Conference and Work camp for Junior Members and Teacher Advisers. The radiance of the Filipino Youth’s dreams for the nation rivaled that of the sun last May 8-12, 2017 at Villa Soledad Beach Resort, Bolinao, Pangasinan as the 79 participants of the 39th Annual Summer Conference and Work camp for Junior Members and Teacher-Advisers tapped into the potential of the youth and worked towards concretizing the dream of a developed and sustainable Philippines.

This event, which was organized by the CMLI JC-NEB 2017 Illuminate, together with the CMLI Mother Council and TAAPI, featured sets of Commission Discussions, the heart of the convention, which had a truly strong and steady beat to the theme of: Dream Aloud! Empowering a Generation of Visionary Leaders Towards the Sustainable Growth and Development of Our Nation. Throughout the five-day convention, delegates had to go on a quest to reach the paradise that is the City of Stars. Proving themselves to their elders in Egg Land, battling the poisons of the Chaos Capsules deployed by the Huns in the Valley of Dead Dreams, and finally conquering their enemies as they cross the Huns Port and Bridge, the delegates wake up to the realization that the City of Stars is not a place but a vision for their beloved Philippines – which can be the future if they so choose to take this path. Professor Jose P. Dividina, CMLI Project Director, invited the delegates to inculcate this mantra, “I will dream aloud in service of God and country. I will persist. I will win.” And win we did, for the youth, for the nation, for tomorrow, in the realization of this reality.

However, the convention was not only a venue for fun and games, but it also served as an avenue for the Filipino Youth to showcase their skills and talents--both academically and artistically-- in the Competitions for Excellence and Competitions for Entertainment. The Grade School category had Solo Singing and Hip Hop Dancing for their Contests for Entertainment while Extemporaneous Speaking English, Extemporaneous Speaking Filipino, Essay Writing English, Essay Writing Filipino, Photojournalism English, Poetry Writing English, and Poster Making for the Contests for Excellence. Meanwhile, the High School Category featured Solo Singing and Talent Variety Show for their Competitions for Entertainment while Extemporaneous Speaking English, Extemporaneous Speaking Filipino, Editorial Writing English, Editorial Writing Filipino, Essay Writing English, Essay Writing Filipino, News Writing English, News Writing Filipino, Photojournalism English, Photojournalism Filipino, Poetry Writing English, Poetry Writing Filipino, and Poster Making for its Competitions for Excellence.

To write brilliantly means to turn written words into a real moving picture of views, things, and emotions. This ability demands to be developed, and it takes much time to improve your skills to create a paper of your dream. If you have a white whale to become a good author who is able to compose works that are persuasive enough as well as touching and interesting, you need to learn some common rules for this.

Write it Better

These tips on paper composition will polish your ability to transfer your train of thoughts on paper in a proper way. All you have to do is to read and learn them all.

● Use present tense to enhance the meaning of an action and describe it like it is happening here and now. Thus, your reader will imagine it better. This is a common hack for academic writing tasks. To compose creative papers, it is okay to put ideas in different tenses according to a purpose of an utterance.

● Try to write as often as you can. Constant training will level up the quality of your work. It doesn’t matter whether you write about some profound topics or compose a simple report about how you spent your vacations.

● The majority of people prefer to write at an early hour, as it has a great effect on a paper. Thus, you can have a look at a problem with a fresh eye and tackle a task in a relaxed way. Nevertheless, you may be an exception from the general rule. That is why you don’t have to torture yourself for hours in order to create a line. Find your place and time to write. In this way, this process will become pleasant for you.

● Use synonyms to avoid repetition. The problem of battology is familiar to every writer, especially at the beginning of his or her career. However, a person can cope with it with the help of simple substitution of repetitive words with their synonyms. Be careful, as not every word with the similar notion may fit your verb, adjective, or noun.

Some Peculiarities to Avoid while Composing a Text

To write coherently and perfectly, a person needs to throw away several bad writing habits and forget them as if they were nightmares.

● “Here are” and “there are” statements are too general and boring to put them in any papers. Use more active words instead, for example, “let’s go over this…”.

● Try to omit “that” and “which”, as they are not necessary to be mentioned.

● “Not only…but also” parallelism is okay to put in your essay. However, a small but valuable aspect has to be kept in mind. If a noun follows “not only” part of the construction, then after “but also” we need to put a noun as well. The same is true for verbs, if in the first part we use a verb, the second part should also contain a verb.

● An excessive use of words is harmful to any type of texts. Omit unnecessary adjectives making no sense for your content and idea. It is better to write 15 words instead of 50.
