3.1 Mysha Macabuat

 The final term, yay! 3 months of demotivation and barely getting by until summer starts. Sweet, beautiful, break. 

Feb 19 - Duotrigor-Don't

Duotrigordle. Sounds like a spell. Feels like a curse. The premise? Solve 32 Wordles. At. The. Same. Time. In a limited number of guesses. 

The suffering began immediately. It took us over 20 minutes. Most of which consisted of Sid speaking rapid-fire guesses while the rest of us nodded solemnly, too stunned to contribute. The words kind of melted together, but it was an interesting mind-boggle. .

Did we finish? Not really. Did we win? Also no. But did we keep guessing anyway like stubborn toddlers who refuse to accept bedtime? Yes. Yes, we did. The moral of the story? Duotrigordle is no warmup. It’s psychological warfare disguised as a word game.

The rest of AEP was abruptly cut off by club time. Fun.


Feb 26 - Wordle. Exam. Identity Crisis.

Ah, yes. A shortened period. A blessing. Or so I thought.

We dove straight into Wordle, a classic we usually devour by the third try. Not today. Ms. Disa held the pen—a twist in the timeline—and the guesses began. Kuk saved the day with “Award.” On the second-last try. Tragic with a hint of triumph. This is the emotional rollercoaster I didn’t buy tickets for.

Then came the exams. Oh, the sweet taste of humble pie. I, who believed I was invincible, was forced to reckon with my mistakes. The real kicker? A neat answer sheet Ms. made with ChatGPT. (Hi bestie.) She emphasized AI is a tool, not a crutch. I stared at my paper and nodded, soul crumbling slowly.

Just when I thought it was over, maps entered the scene. A worksheet with confusing letters, blurry instructions, and no backup plan. Ms. didn’t double-check the print, so we adapted like confused survivors in an apocalyptic geography class. Eventually, we each had to give a sentence comparing the maps. Mine was... a sentence. That’s all I’ll say. 


February, you’ve been wild. You brought me Duotrigordle-induced headaches, Wordle near-failures, and the shocking realization that maybe I’m not that good at map-reading. Thanks, I hate it. But I’m still standing. Barely.

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
