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.

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.

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.
