No to Vulgar Words!

Almost everyday one can hear  vulgar words  streaming from one’s neighbors, from people you meet in the street on your way to school or the office,  or probably from the driver or a fellow passenger in the jeepney.  And when you get to school you hear schoolmates shout such words to one another in the lobby and hallways.  Other students even  dare  to say these inside the classroom…in the presence of a teacher.  What temerity!

Where did these vulgar or crappy words come from anyway?

Vulgar words come out of ourselves due to the highest point of our emotions. We usually say those words when we think of something or someone we usually hate or get mad of.

This topic may sound sensitive to others to the others but this called my attention as I pass corridors filled with numerous students everyday. Call me stupid, I accept it. But this is just how it goes.

A vulgar word doesn’t need to be said in a loud voice or much more in a rude manner. These words should never be spoken at all. Especially that we are in a university, in a much respected school.

These words, no matter how angry or depressed a person is, they should always be tucked in mind/ never to be said. The sad part here is that almost everyone, even the youngsters, knows how to say these words. And to think of it, they’re quite confident in saying these because they would look like “astig” to their colleagues. Certainly, this attitude of using these words  would be brought up until adulthood. Sad to say but true.

“A Cup of Persistence Leads to Victory”

by: AyraMae Simbirio

The EVSU “chemists” bagged the third place in the Chemistry Quiz Bowl held last Sept. 17, 2009 at EVSU Graduate School Function Room.

At exactly 1:30 PM the contest started. Contestants were introduced and were assigned their respective seats. And thus, the contest begun.

In the easy round, the “chemists” group who got the least points managed to attain back the points they lost. Questions after questions were piled, a mix of Integrated Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Each of the contestants striving their best to bring honor to their group.
The moderate round was, as expected, harder and more complex. Although a series of more advanced questions in Science were thrown towards the “chemists” way, they managed to get the highest score on the said round.
And so the contest continued and before long it shifted to the difficult round. The difficult round was based more on calculations resulting to a match-up of points in a last-minute attempt to win of the schools.

At last, the long wait for the tallies of the score was over. First place, was awarded to the students of the Holy Cross from Carigara. Second place, was then given to Sacred Heart College. And of course the third went to the EVSU “chemists”. Winners were congratulated, all three schools’ students were given plaques of recognition and medals, and so the final speech was given and the closing of the activity was assured.
