History 10 before Midterms
First of all, I just want to emphasize that I don't like our History 10 class. IT TOTALLY SUCKS! It's like our teacher is blabbing a lot of information but the organization is all messed up! How can her students get the main point of discussion? I don't think she's planning out things to be discussed during the week or something.
Any way, just for me not to get an F for a midterm grade, I had to study at least few of the lessons discussed. So I read the Pre-colonial History of the Philippines which is 56pages of the book Philippine History owned by my cousin. I read it for 4hours, I suppose. Well, there was few points in there that really struck me most.
1. Filipinos have lack of initiative.
2. Filipinos are cooperative but not competitive.
3. Filipinos are fatalistic. (commonly known as the "bahala na" attitude)
Well, these three are COMMON FILIPINO TRAITS. It struck me most because I'm guilty for having this traits. And I'm not denying it.
And on the last part of the pages was about Filipino music, the instruments of the natives used and their songs. There were few song there that I remembered my grandmother used to sing to me. When I saw the title, it's like the tune of the song was playing near my ears. And following through the pages, I saw different titles and that different tunes was like playing, then, I realized, I had encountered lots of these native music way back when I was a child, maybe that's the reason why they're so familiar and I could here different tunes.
So far, yes, so far, it's all I can say about HISTORY 10 BEFORE MIDTERMS.
And to think that I don't know what day and time will be our midterms in History.
But it's still good to prepare than to cram in the last minute. Right?
