Adventure in Manila

                It was on sunny day of April when we go to Manila to attend the debut of my very beautiful tall cousin. I was so excited because it’s my first time to go there with my family. The day before the flight, I felt nervous and I can hardly sleep. It was like I’m going to a contest with many weird people are watching.

                A day after that extremely weird feeling of mine, we departed to Manila and arrived at exactly 2:00 o’clock in a steamy summer afternoon. We are riding in a trivial white taxi and I can’t control myself looking the ambiances of Manila that they said it is a place wherein many tourists are coming to perceive the beautiful atmosphere of Manila. Consequently, I was like a gullible person at that time because I believed instantly on what they say. On the other hand, various places in Manila are lovely and most of it is far away from the capital just like Marikina ̶̶̶̶̶ the city capital of the Philippines.

                A few days after, we go to the 2^nd largest mall in the Philippines after SM City North EDSA, 3^rd largest shopping mall in Asia and 4^th largest mall in the world-Mall of Asia. We didn’t gait the entire mall since you will need much more day to see all the department stores in the mall. Several hours after, my leg felt like bursting white popcorn because of walking one whole tiring day in the handsome wide Asian shopping mall.

                I can’t forget that etched on my mind with my whole family that always bringing smile until the day has finished.

Video Commentary

1. What is the main message of the video?

2. Are you inspired by it? Why or why not?

3. How can you become an inspiration for others too?

1. The main message of the video is don’t easily give up whatever hindrances that comes into your life because even those people who are not born perfectly can aim a goal in their life, what about us that we’re born physically perfect?

2. I’m so inspired with the motivational video because it had given me strength to always move forward whatever dilemma will come into my life especially in my studies. I immediately picture-out some people can stand again whenever they crash big problems and I lately realized how blessed I am than other people.

3. I will show to them how blessed they are in their borrowed life; I will share my experiences in order for them to appreciate the life that they live. 

WRITING DEFINITION

Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/discipline

                Discipline is a kind of training which develops or improves skills. It can also be an exercise, activity, punishment, self-control or teaching. In a more specific sense, it produces moral or mental improvement that can mould a person to a better person, for example military discipline. In this course, however, we use the word “discipline” in any of these senses. Examples of the discipline we are talking about are the academies in the Philippines. Two of these academies are the Philippine Military Academy and Philippine National Police Academy.

#6 Comment on another Blog

Letters from my Heart: # 5 My Experience: "We can never go back and change what has been done but we can always earned the lesson learned to make things better next time..." ...

To comment on a blog is hard for me because I’m not too perfect when it comes in English.

As I read this blog of my classmate about her experience in life, I noticed that she used unfamiliar words to make the sentence more meaningful and wrote on what her title is all about. It’s pint-sized funny to read on her experience especially when the awkward moment has been read. And you make a petite blithe on your face.

I like the way she wrote her artefact but for me, she didn’t know how to use correct punctuation mark and even the ending of the story it has not been put on another paragraph. You can hardly identify where the finale of the story is. But on the other hand, I liked it because of her correct grammar. And I have learned new words.

My advice is, just keep on writing to give you more an idea on how to use correct punctuation mark.

#7 Who Is My Hero?

Have you already read the article entitled “Move over, Barney: Make way for some Real Heroes”? Can you imagine what the title is talking about? Is there someone that comes into your mind when you are asked, who is you hero?

                For me, a hero is a person that is doing a valorous act and can change someone’s life. He is the one who is always ready to help you when you are in need. Always there even if he is busy doing something for himself.  He chooses to help other first before himself. And many of us define hero just like my definition.

                As I have reading that article, I’m always talking to myself answering the question, “who is my hero”? It’s hard to imagine who really my hero is. And I was taking too much time just to answer that enigma.

                I knew about my paladin lately and I’m so sure that she is the one. She is my board mate and she changes many lives when she offers her life to our omnipotent Saviour.  I considered her as my heroine because she changed my life from darkness to full of lightness. She is my cell leader and I knew more about our Father because of her. Her name is Reyna Remotin, a bona-fide student of MSU-IIT, taking up the course of BS Civil Engineer and she is now a 3^rd year college student. She overcomes many dilemmas in her life because she put God first in all her feat. And that’s the reason why I am very confident in my studies.

                I’m very thankful to Him because He chose me as one of His servant. And also to my board mate who is blessed by God and didn’t stock her blessing for herself only.

                

#5 Ms. False GAYlileo 2010

       “Do not judge the book by its cover.”

         Way back in 2010 when I was in 4^th year high school. Our Christmas party is fast approaching and we are all excited. We had a meeting with our adviser and we tackled about what food to bring, amount of the gift, costume and of course the main event of the party which is the search for the first “Ms False GAYlileo 2010.” I don’t know what they think about me that they have chosen me as one of the contestant in the said event.

          I don’t know what to do when they officially announced the contender in that event. Several weeks after the meeting, me, with my group decided on what will I wore in the event. We seek set of clothes for the trendy attire, future work attire, talent attire, and sports attire. We bought fashionable things for every category.

         The day has come and everybody was so excited except for us, the challenger. We don’t know what to do because there are so many people who are watching and shouting for their bet. We thought that we are like an icon.

          The show began at exactly 1:00 o’clock in the afternoon. We dress ourselves like a true women. We walked like a model and some people are capturing pictures for remembrance. After several hours, the show ended. But, unfortunately, I was not crowned as the Ms False GAYlileo 2010, still, I’m so happy because it was finished without awkward moments and everybody brought some unforgettable memories in our high school life.

          Afterwards, we went to a night swimming party and we continue to make exceptional things. 

#4 Believe the Unbelievable

            Are ghost are real? Are ghost can talk to the living things? Isn't that terrible to see a ghost?

            I believe in ghost. I believe that they can talk to the living things though some activities like spirit of the glass, spirit of the coin and many more that I didn't know. Ghost are real because believe it or not I saw a white lady in my cousin's house and we performed the spirit of the glass in my high school years. I have a friend that know how to talk with a ghost because he is a psychic. 

             I believe that all of us has a twin in different world.

            All of us has a third eye but some of the third eye are close that is why some of us can not see unbelievable things in our world.

             It's so hard to imagine that this things are existing. Many questions in this world that can not be answered by natural human-being. 

He Is Always Ready To Accept You

            Many of us will remember Him in times when we are in problems. Many of us don't believe in Him. They don't care about Him. But, did you know that He will always wait for you to be His son even if for how many years you are away from Him and you did not allow Him to enter into your soul?
             In the past 9 years, I was once an atheist. I don't believe in Him. I always doubt about Him. But as times goes by, I accept Him as my personal savior, know more about Him, and trust Him because I believe that He is real.
             I want to be with Him in heaven with my family. Walking in the beautiful garden  that full of happiness. Listening to the wonderful voices of the angels and live in the beautiful mansion.
             I know that you are also want to be in heaven with Him, but, we all know that we are sinners and sinners can not enter the Kingdom of heaven. So, we must do the following things for us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. First, we must repent and always have self-control (never lust), be kind (not anger), have humility (don't be prideful), be enthusiastic/eager (don't be a sloth), have love (never envy), be faithful/temperate (not gluttonous), have generosity (don't be greedy) and lastly, be with Him. That's the only key to be with Him in everlasting life.
              The time is not yet over. We have more time to do that. He is coming soon and I know that we can do what I've mentioned, stop listening to the worldly songs. Repent and He will accept you as His son.

#3 I Won't Stop To Say Thank You To My Parents

                "Love of the family is life's greatest blessing."
                 Base on the video that I watched a while ago, people value their family like a thing that must be contrast with others. They are so boastful about the level of their son and how much is the salary of their son. And there's only one mother who is silently listening to their conversation. When they finished their conversation, they dispatch their topic to the silent mother and the mother smiles and gradually spoke to them, "My son is so good to me, he will fetch me wherever he will go." It's simple yet very impressive and that's how some of us today value their family. They don't need a very rich family. The love of their family is all they want.
                  For my side, I will show the value of my parents for me by caring and loving them with all my heart because in that way, they could feel how important they are to me. I know that in the years to come, they are the one who needs the help of their son or daughter.
                   I can say thank you to my parents in a very fanciful way. When I got home, I will hug them then whisper the word "Thank you" but for now, I can not do this because I'm apart from them. And all I can do this time is to call or text them.
                   I wan to say thank you and I love you to my loving and caring parents for their hard work to support me from my studies.

#2 A Critical Thinker, A Good Reader and A Writer

       
     I consider myself as a critical thinker, a good reader and a writer it's because when I'm reading an article I have an attitude of what a critical thinker, a good reader and a writer have.
             I asked question what I don't understand and seek for more information about that word that I didn't understand and give some examples about it so I can understand better.
             Before I read, I choose appropriate strategies. I used the Cornell Method or the SQR3 which is the survey, question, read, review, and recite. Sometimes, I also like to use PARTS (preview, anticipate, read and reread, think critically, and summarize). But I'm not that kind of person who is a professional reader. I'm still in progressing level.
             Lastly, I consider myself as a writer, it's because I can write a composition just like this and my first blog entitled," My Mission in Life."

#1 My Mission in Life

             This is my first time to blog that's why I don't know if I’m going to acquaint myself or not. Maybe next time I will know about it. The relevance of writing this composition is that I can be able to write a composition in a correct grammar entitled My Mission in Life. But as you can see, my grammar is not good enough but I know someday I can write a composition with correct grammar.
            For now, let’s tackle about mission in life. You, do you have mission in life? Can you do his by your own? Do you know how to pursue it?
            Just like the Armed Forces in the Philippines, they have mission to be accomplish in a right time. But I am yet a student and I have different mission from the AFP.
            My mission in life is to pay or my parent's hard work. But how? Simply, to be a successful person someday that they can be proud of. It's simple to say but you will face some difficult obstacles that might b e the reason for your failure on your studies. But you can overcome that obstacles if you have faith in God, pray on Him, have an inspiration like your parents, a girl, and also trust in yourself. In that way, maybe you can achieve your mission.
             When I am in the right age to be marriage, I want to have family someday. A family that eats together, prays together, helping one another, God-fearing, and most of all, family that full of happiness.
             With my family, I want to travel any countries and buy all what my son/s or daughter/s wants. I want to be fair with my children. I will teach them on how to be a good model when they grow up. I do not want to have one child only because I know when that child grows up; he/she will be spoiled just like Clara in the teleserye Mara Clara.
              If I'm going to be a professional someday, I want to buy the most luxurious automobile and ride it with my family. Just like the artist in our country, they have many cars to ride and I want to be like them.
              I love music. I play guitar, I sing, and I know how to dance. My life would be kinda boring if I don't have music in my life. I wish I could be a member of a band and be popular here and on international. I'm inspired with those musicians that their body is incomplete. Like the Ezra band, their pianist has no left arm but he can play piano like a professional. But me, my body parts is complete but I can't reach those musician that is disabled. I wish I could be like them, I mean to be popular not to be disabled. I'm so proud to those musicians who are disabled.
              Nowadays, most of our product is made by a robot; they are the one who assemble some pieces of an object. Some robot got talent, they can dance, talk and many to mention that can be compared by a human being. 
               As the day passed by, technologies are getting better and better. Just like others, they want to have the latest technology, and I also, I want to own any of the latest gadgets like iPod, I Pad, touch screen laptop, Xbox 720, to be launch in 2011-2012 according to Microsoft.
               Taking good care of pets is good. But why some people are buying luxurious dresses for their pets. They don't mind it that instead of buying those luxurious dresses, the money that they buy can help lot of people who are in poverty. That is my one of my major mission in life to be pursued. I want to help first those people who is suffering from poverty rather than buying luxurious things first.
                I want to achieve those missions in my life.
                I hope that you have learned something in reading my first blog. Thank you for reading it and God bless.
