I wonder why C Programming was invented.

Maybe it was made to make calculations easier?

Or perhaps it was made to overpower the "simple-minded" calculator?

Or was it just made to simply confuse the minds of high-school students?

Whatever could be the reason, I'd still be prejudiced upon what I really feel concerning the subject.

I hate it.

The only things that I like about our Computer Science class are the air-conditioned room, the computers (disregarding the fact that they are terribly unupdated), my classmates, and Ms. Gallardo's puns, or whatever. The subject is a damnation to me. I'm serious.

1. It pulls down my grades.
2. It gives me headaches.
3. It pulls down my grades all the more.
4. It makes me cry.
5. Since it really does pull down my grades.

Those are just a few of what that certain damnation does to me. What wrong have I done to deserve such a fate? I understand that everyone encounters such, but then, I am a dignified weakling whenever things pertain to anything mathematical.

I'm not even going to use a single bit of C Programming in my future college course..!

That's nice. Really. Very nice.

That's why I wonder.

I hate Computer Science! Darn it! I hate it!

Misery does love company.

Nonetheless, however terrible the pain, the subject still taught me quite a lot of things. And ironically, none of these things are even related to the subject. How's that for a surprise, e?

I learned that experience is indeed the best teacher. Yes, perhaps, I do learn during lectures. But do I really comprehend what's being blabbed about in front of me? I suppose not, for I can't really see what the computer and the language are doing with all the turmoil with mathematical symbol and impossible possibilities. It's a disheartening thought, hence I don't really listen during lectures. I listen, yes, if I believe I'd understand the lesson just by simple explanations and some use of the whiteboard marker's near to death ink. However, if I don't, then you know what. I really only learn during hands-on activities. They're the key. And all. The key, darn it. The key.

I also learned that teamwork is a definite assurance to a win. A single mind can never really do everything that a whole group should do. In one time or another, one may fail and the others won't know how to hold themselves up. That's a principle and a factor of why terrible mishaps happen and why countries get downfalls.

Perhaps that's all that I've learned. Besides the "printf("blabla");" and the "scanf("%d",blabla);" and the "for(x=1;x<=5;x++)" and all other functions that aren't primarily my concern, I can say that I did learn much from this damnation called Computer Science III.

It has finally ended. Let's cry a while and be in a state of ecstatic nostalgia. After that, let's party.

Thanks, Ms. Gallardo. =) Thanks a lot.

And thank you to my groupmates, Paola Perucho, Karren Pantig, and (all hail) Carl Isip. The incredible brains of Computer Science had been my comrades for a year. Thank you until forever. =)

Elow guys!

After a very long time, I'm back again!!!

Well, my life here in MaSci is quite not doing well this grading, especiall yin Computer Science III. I had a very hard time to cope up with our lessons because it was getting tougher. More mathematically enudred problems and it was very complex for me to solve it by myself. I really didn't know whether my periodical and summative test were alright but I think I didn't do well because I was shocked when I received my card. Honestly, the first spot that I glanced on was my grade in CS and unfortunately my grade decreased by 2 points. I really felt bad because that grade was my lowest since I started studying.

OK! That's what you call life. Sometimes you are on the crest, sometimes you're on the trough. How I wish I'm always on the top or in the middle so my parents would be very happy for me.

This is the last time that I could write onto this journal so I want to take this opporutunity to thank our teacher Ms. Maybelle Gallardo for teaching us not only computer based lessons but of course the values and attitudes that a MaScian should possess. Some of those are coming to class on time, proper attire (compleate uniform with ID), for boys: proper haircut and style (without gel and of course always bring your notebook upon entering the classroom. This is the only class that we are always told to lead the prayer that we composed and the class which always had a cleaner. I would like to thank also the PPG group: Hannah Kirstin Nono (Bubbles), Karren Joyce Pantig (Blosssom), and Carl Loiuse Isip (professor) who were always there to help me do the hands-on given to us. I will not forget you guys!!! Thanks a lot! (andrama no?)

Wow!! Fourth quarter na pala!!  Ngayon ko lang narealize yun ah! Anyway, dahil last time ko na to para gumawa ng blog ko sa CS III, tagalong na ang gagamitin ko para mas sosyal!!… grabe ang layo na ng narrating natin?! Biruin mo yun? Patapos nap ala ang taon? Hahaha!
Anyway.. natutuwa talaga ako dahil feeling ko<at I know>, marami talaga akong natutunan sa ComSci ngayon.. lalo na yung about sa C programming. Grabe.. para sa akin<totoo po ito> isa talaga si Ma’am Gallardo sa mga teacher na nagtuturo ng matino. Kasi sa kanya ko nararanasan ung bawat paglabas sa CS room eh may bago kang natutunan, alam mo yun? Ang saya ng ganun dbA? Yung alam mong natututo ka talaga.
Tapos, sobrang masaya ako kasi mataas naman ung mga nakukuha kong grade.. basta masaya talaga yung CS ngayong 3rd year. Nag enjoy ako sa paggawa ng program tapos natuto pa ako.. Ang saya nga maglaro ng ‘snake’ na gawa mo yung program eh…
Isa pa, masaya talaga ako kasi nagging super close talaga kami ng powerpuff/harashi group ko… Ang saya nga ng bonding naming eh!! Sobrang mamimiss ko yun pag fourth year na ako..
Haaay.. grabe.. ang cute ni Ma’am Gallardo.. tama ba namang pati amoy naming eh pakialaman?!?!?! Hahaha.. joke lang po.. natutuwa nga ako kasi pati Values eh tinuturo na rin ni Ma’am.. tulad na lang ng punctuality saka pagsunod sa School rules tulad ng pagsusuot ng ID.. konti lang ang teachers na concern sa discipline ng students nila.. kaya natutuwa ako dahil may teacher kaming tulad ni Ma’am.
Gusto ko na ding gamitin ung opportunity para mag thank you sa ilang tao na nakatulong sa pag aaral ko ng ComSci..
>>xiempre kay ma’am Gallardo.. na walang sawang nagtuturo sa amin..
>>Sa ever supportive and competent group mates kong sina Paola Gracielle I. Perucho at Hannah Nono.. salamat sa lahat lahat!! Mahal ko kayo!!
>>Sa newest and brightest member n gaming group na si Carl Louise Isip.. salamat sa pagtuturo sa amin at sa pag-iisip kung paano gagawin an gating hands-on.
>>Saka sa lahat ng Burbank na nagpapasaya ng buhay 3rd year ko.. Astig kayo guys.. salamat talaga sa lahat..
Siguro hanggang dito na lang po.. baka mainip na kayo sa kababasa eh..
Hanggang sa muli<kung meron pang susunod.. malay niyo..sa fourth yer may ganito pa rin?> …. SAYONARA guys!!!!

My Experiences in Computer Science Class

 

Well, I can say that this quarter is better than my first quarter in ComSci Class….

I really enjoyed it a lot…. This time I know now how to handle some situations like what happened in our hands-on<remember my first blog?> wherein we really rush things out just to finish this work.

I really enjoy working with my group mates<paola & hannah> especially now that our bonding is more frequent. Well it’s our second hands-on in the 2^nd quarter where in we’re really disappointed. It was about the switch statement, I think, this time… we didn’t finish our hands-on because we only have forty minutes and honestly, we really don’t know what to do that time…. Because of that, we promised to our selves that next time we have an assignment-hands-on, we will do that and make sure that it is correct to be able to cope up with the one we didn’t finish<because I think we got a zero that time>.

And I can also say that I improved on this quarter because I got a score of thirty on the periodical test. I also know that on our first quiz<program-making>, I got a correct program so I can say that I may expect a higher grade third quarter….

Well, about the grade last quarter, I’m satisfied on it<86>. I can say that I deserve the grade and I will take that as a challenge so that I will try to study more about our lessons to be able to come up with a higher grade.

About Miss Gallardo, I’m happy because I know that I really learn from everything that she taught us. I know that she really works hard, for us to be able to understand the lesson. Well, sometimes, it’s just that it seems we’re so fast. But I’m satisfied with everything.

I’m really happy with what’s happening to this quarter, I hope I can do more and improve all next grading period=) 

Elow poh!!!
I’m back again.
Another grading ended so I need to update our website, my journal in C.S. Ok. I need to start in order to finish and pass this on time.

 First, I want to talk about my grade in C.S last 1st grading. I’m very disappointed with my grade. I don’t know what happened to me that grading period. I’m really depressed when I got my card and saw my grade because that was my 1st time in masci to get a line of 8 in c.s. I think the computer science III was very tough because when I’m in the lower years, I always get grades that ranges to 90-96.How sad talaga. So I promised to myself that I will do my best this grading but I think I didn’t do my best because I only got line of 3 in my periodical test.

 My scourging moment in this grading was when we had a hands-on about switch statements (operations). I really hate Fridays because we only have 40 minutes every subject. And the sad part, we only had 40 minutes to finish our hands-on. Our minds didn’t function well that time. I don’t know why. I really felt bad that day because I thought that we got a 0 that hands-on. That bad mood continued until my last class.

 Our group decided to be ready before we enter our room when we will have a hands-on because we had a trauma on what happened on that last hands-on.

 Maam told us that our next hand-on on “for” was about calculating the sum of all-positive and negative numbers entered by the user. Right after our meeting, I made the program. Several days had passed that we haven’t met; my classmates forgot that we would have that program. So, that’s the reason we were the first one to finish. I was wondering why we our the first to finished while we don’t have that first switch hands-on that they just recovered and used that for their program. We were just panicking so we haven’t noticed that we were very fast. It was very successful and we were proud of ourselves (lalo na sa sarili ko).hehe…
 We continued that attitude until the end of the second grading. I hope it will remain the same on other grading.

 I think this is very long na so I will stop na…
I am very tired because of the hectic schedules before our
sembreak.
I need to enjoy even for a while.
See you again for my next issue.
Thanks for visiting our site…

Ok. This is my 2nd entry pertaining to Computer Science III. Awts.

I like Computer Science. I learn things about Programming that I didn't know before... Nevertheless, I cannot deny the fact that the things I learn in this subject are harder than pure diamonds. That sucks. I hate failing. Anyway, I like it. Again, I say, I like it.

I like it because I like to create. I like creating things I've never created before. Well, you see, it's fun creating things such as programs, because I get to perform things that are never really performed well by humans, such as calculations. Those wretched calculations!! I always have a hard time trying to solve them!!! That sucks! Thank God for C Programming! Wee!!! In that way, I get to solve wretched calculations in a much easier way... Nevertheless, I still have to make programs in order to solve them. Awts.

Anyway, at least the work's been done to be easier! C Programming really pays out! Although I still hate it for pulling down my grade, I still like the fact that it is very cool. Very cool indeed.

I am Hannah Kirstin N. Nono of III-Burbank.

I must say so that I am a very weird girl. That's all there is to know.

I like Computer Science... but I don't like the C language... why? Because I seem to be failing in it. That sucks. But then the C language is a very cool thing to learn, so then I can go on learning it, even though I'm failing badly.

I used to think C was ... quite within my 'powers' [kuno]... but then I was wrong. I thought it was something easy like HTML, but, unfortunately, I had a very shallow expectation. [Awww...] Anyway, it's cool, and that's all I can say. :D

Elow Burbank!
Elow fellow Mascians!
Elow Ma’am Gallardo!
Mabuhay!

First of all I want to introduce myself. I’m Paola Gracielle Inosanto Perucho of III- Burbank, group 10 (Harashi). My friends and classmates sometimes call me Paochy or Paoch for short. I really love the color Violet or Purple because in my own point of view, it is very relaxing and it signifies royalty.

Ma’am, I want you to know that I’m very glad because you are our teacher in Computer Science III. Since 1st year I knew that CS is an add-on subject or a part of Mathematics but I can’t feel it. We did not concentrate on mathematical operations but now it is totally different. Most of our hands-on deals with mathematical equations. For example: How to get the distance of two points. Obviously, we needed the help of “pow” or the power and also the “sqrt” or square root.

I can say that there were so many joyful moments in our class. We were always active in this class because we want to learn more about C programming. We always laugh if there is something funny but it is tolerable. I think the first time that we laugh (as in grabe) was when the very last boy reported about the latest technology. If I am correct he told us about the latest unit of cell phone. I remembered that ma’am told us that we should avoid reporting about those cell phones but he did it.

I enjoyed our hands-on about the trigonometric functions. I was amazed when we used the “scanf” command. Actually at that time, my group mate Karren was absent so Hannah and I were the one who made our hands-on. At first we didn’t know what to do because Karren got the correct copy of our work about the trigonometric functions. Fortunately, our minds worked very fast and got the idea how to execute the program. In this activity, ma’am asked the two of us “what is the tan of pi/4?” So’ I solved and I got it right. Wooh… I can’t believe it. I’m not really good in math.

We also have the most unforgettable hands-on in our lives. It was about the conversion of radian to degree and vise versa. We had a hard time to make that program because we did not understand what to do. We did not understand that we should use the “if(choice==1)”. Haay… Thanks for the help of Jared (Aba! Special mention). It was almost time when we finished our work and we were the only group left in our class. I think without the help of Jared we couldn’t finish it on time. Thanks again!!!

Okei… I think this is too long na. So I must stop typing but my hands are still moving. Why kaya? I don’t know. What do you think. Uhmm… Nagbabasa ka pa kasi eh. Sige bye bye na..

Well… the first time I See Ma’am Gallardo… uhmm.. I thought she would be very strict… but well… uhmm… She really is… You know.. the way she talks the way she gives us the directions.. hahaha.. buT it’s okay.. She was aLso fun-Loving person din naman eh.. hehehe.. buT eniweiZ.. LetZ proceed na to My expeCtioNs in ComSci class.. Actually..  I’m not really expecting… because aS dey saY.. don’t eXpect too much… thaT’s whY I will usE the WorD “hope”… I’m hoping to learn the basics in computer programming.. and aLso.. everything about C Language.. well… I’m also hoping to learn or have some additional infoRmations about the Latest technology today… Well uhmmm.. that’s what I am hoping… so Let’s proceed to my most memorable moment in oUr computer ScienCe class.. WeLL as of noW it’s our first Hands-on that I can say my most memorable experience.. because its my or I may say “our” first time to make a ProgrAm that’s whY we’Re  very excited… haaay… I can’t explain the feeling that we’ve experienced wHen we finished Our hands- on… that’s it.. anD after That incident… were veRy excited foR ouR next hands-on because we really enjoyed making it.. and I’m so happy that my groupmaTes are really bubbly that’s why we really enjoy each others’ company.. hehehehe.. well it was our last hands on where we Really experienced rushing and everything that makes us very nervous.. because it was like diS… the day when Ma’am discuss the lesson.. I was absent and my grouPmates weren’t  able to copy the output on thE board thAt’s why ouR first output was Very different… SpeciaL thanks to jAred for making our hands-On possible… hehehe.. but we’Re really happy for the results that we have come up.. I hope they will be my group mates foR  the WhoLe school year because they were really great.. thaT’s aLL and.. seE yah in my nExt blOg.. :)
