“In light of the coronavirus, we are sorry to inform you that this event has been canceled…” Are you tired of hearing and reading this line over and over again? Because same. But worry not, because our senior prom is not getting affected by this! The Roaring Twenties, the prom that seniors had long-anticipated, is […]

2020 may. – mother’s day series!!
May is the season of love–especially with Mother’s Day inducing warmth in the atmosphere. First came Cadenza’s farewell performance as graduation neared. Per usual, Z Club sets up a fundraiser on the side. What was different this time around was the improvised painting station set up for sale. With paintbrushes, watercolor, and a few stacks […]
GATTACA TOK Reflection
Vincent was not genetically engineered but his younger brother, Anton, was. While Vincent was seen as being defective (like his heart condition), Anton was seen as having no flaws because they were genetically removed. KQ: Under what circumstances might flaws or errors be beneficial to what we know OR how we know? There is an […]
2020 apr. – CAS-ing here and there
April has been quite a weird month…ever since we came back from spring break, soccer was canceled, digital days almost began again, school work and test started piling up… With that, I ended my short soccer season with agony. However, I was grateful that I got to practice with my friends on our own over […]
2020 apr. – into the wild!
Surprise, surprise. It has been quite a while since I have hiked. Honestly, it feels good to ditch school work at times as it can get quite dreadful. Sundays have always been family days for me, so I ensure that I save the day for my family since we don’t get much time together on […]

2020 mar. – long time no see, z club fundraiser!
Z club fundraisers during Cadenza performances will always be a creative/service experience that all Z club members have. Corresponding to the theme of the performance, Love on the Brain, we decided to sell ice cream with different toppings. Although we wanted to bake red velvet cake to add a bit of red for Valentine’s, we […]
2020 feb. – renew feminism
Feminism. An empowering word that often encompasses a lot of misconceptions. After visiting Museum Voorlinden, I was intrigued by the pieces of Louise Bourgeois. Although not being able to interpret the meaning behind her artwork at the spot, the message that her work conveys is so powerful and strong. Feeling something has been switched on, […]
2020 feb. – adding some colors to work
As digital days ended, I was lacking the motivation to catch up with school work. I realized that I was missing a system of my own where I can organize my to-dos. With that goal in mind, I decided that it’s time to finally create a digital timetable for myself. As much as I enjoy […]
2020 end jan. – happy cny!
‘Twas that time of the year! But no–not Christmas. Bits of red shining here and there, firecrackers sparkling, people gathering. Yes, you know it–Chinese New Year was here! To add some festive vibes, I painted some lanterns for the decoration at school. This was actually a brand new experience for me seen as I have […]
