An Artistic Way of Reporting

Since I wasn't able to watch the SONA last Monday, I surfed the internet and read it there. In his fourth SONA, President Benigno Aquino III focused his speech with the achievements of the government on his term like the approval of the Sin Tax Reform Law and the RH Law. He also mentioned the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4 P's), the increase in number of TESDA graduates, and the classroom shortage will be addressed to the education department. I am glad that he pointed out the classroom issue because many students are having a hard time studying inside the classroom with many students. Plus, they cannot concentrate well.

 I hope that the increase of the housing projects and the increase of the budget will continue. And I hope they could help many people. I would like to comment about his belief that the fare of the LRT and MRT should be similar to aircon bus fares. I am not agree with it because there are a lot of commuters who use LRT/MRT. It means that they could have a bigger income if they increase the fare. And it is not that comfortable to ride a LRT and MRT than an air-conditioned bus. People will tend to pay a higher amount for the sake that they won't be late due to traffic. As a student, although I am not really a regular passenger of LRT and MRT, I don't want the fare to increase. For the sake of my friends who always ride on them

. I'm happy because PNoy acknowledged the sacrifices and service that the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo has done. I pray and hope there will be more improvement that will happen in his lasttwo terms.

Who drinks what? Who owns what?

Last Friday, we're given a puzzle. It's about finding out the person who drinks the water and the person who owns a zebra. When I was reading the sentences which will help us solve the mystery, I'm already giving up. Well, it's not that I hate brain-bleeding challenges but I'm not just in to it. First, I'm not taking it seriously. I was just drawing boxes to represent the houses. So after minutes of wasting time, it just came up my mind that I should take it seriously. Then I placed the each words in their proper column. But then, it's already time and we should send the answers before 7 A.M. on Monday. Ahh!!! More time to analyze!!

It's Sunday evening! Ohh! I have regrets now. I should have done this yesterday. But it's okay. I still have time. So, I'm happy to tell you that I have solved the puzzle all by myself. Well, you've read it right!! So, this is my answer!! :)

First, I made a division which separates five houses. The next thing I've done is to write the word 'Milk' in the middle house. Then, the 'Norwegian' who lives in the first house. It was stated in the last sentence that the Norwegian lives to the house next to the blue house. So I wrote the word 'Blue' on the second house. After that I wrote the words 'Green' and 'Coffee' on the last box. Because, it was stated that the coffee is drunk on the green house which is immediately to the right of the ivory house. So the ivory house is on the fourth box. Honestly, I don't know how I came up with these results. It is not that I cheated. I just analyzed things that were stated there and use the trial and error system. I just wrote the words which would actually fit on the Nationality and the facts that were stated. It was hard for me to explain it one by one. But, really, I answered it with my own capacity. It's very fulfilling that I have answered this kind of challenge. Thank you Miss for giving this kind of activity. :)

In the results that I've gained, the Norwegian drinks water and the Japanese owns the zebra.
