How did I save life

Last November 4, 2013 is one of the greatest days I had experienced in 2013. This was the year where I volunteered to donate my blood. It was my first time and I had no idea of what to do.

I got this idea of donating my blood when I was taken as a volunteer of Jollibee SM Masinag to assist the Red Cross volunteers in their “blood donation campaign” in St. Therese Parish Church in front of SM Masinag.

At first I was thinking to go to Red Cross center in Marikina to voluntarily donate my blood but at that moment no one accompanied me and it is a bit father from where I was. I was in the school campus assessing my registration form. So I decided to go to the nearest hospital which is the AMANG Rodrigues hospital. But before your blood is taken you will pass through some tests, form to fill up and answer the questions from the staff. Those steps are done to know if you’re healthy and qualified to donate.

I was qualified when those tests are done and while I was injected by huge needle I felt a bit pain. But the pain will immediately go thinking that you will save peoples life by donating your blood. By donating blood you don’t just help others life it also cleanse your blood circulation for better health because I believe that health is wealth.

This coming February I am planning to do it again but this time it will be on the Red Cross center. So I’m encouraging you all to join me and let’s volunteer to save life and be a hero. :)

Movie

CARRIE

google.com/images

As a movie lover I am not just look for the good looking characters but how the movie gives an impact to the viewers. The impact that not just the best acting that the characters are projecting but the message of what the movie wanted to say.

One of my favorite movies in 2013 is the horror type titled Carrie. The story of a high school girl named CARRIE WHITE who has an ability to move things using her mind or called TELEKINETIC. Carrie was a simple teenager who is being outcast by her peers and doesn’t have an idea of having a menstrual as a part of being a woman. She was raised alone by her deeply religious mother. When she was born her mother tried to kill her thinking that she is a devil baby.

Carrie ignored those thoughts as she grew up because she loves her mother. When Carrie entered high school her journey being having a special talent begun. As high school prom is the best event ever. She was escorted by the boyfriend of one of the causes of her journey being a high school girl.  They were chosen to be the prom queen and king and right after they coroneted a pale of blood falls straight to Carrie’s head that turn her white gown into bloody. After minutes of incident her partner died hit by the pale when it falls directly to his head. Upon seeing her partner laid in the floor of blood breathless Carrie unleashes her control that drives her to take revenge to those who made the plan.

She knew right that then who did such thing, the friends and the campus sassy girl named Chris Hargensen. The prom end up killing the two suspects mainly the sassy girl and her boyfriend who ran away after the incident. The movie end up with Carrier destroyed their house together with her and her mother.

The movie shows a strong character of Carrie. The effect was amazing and worthy to be watched over and over again. The spectacular of every scene are worth to remember, and it will surely hold your breath till it is done

politics

A RALLY or FREEDOM of EXPRESSION

First, what is rally and freedom of expression?

Rally = to call together for a common purpose; assemble:

Freedom of expression = right to express one's ideas and opinions freely through speech, writing, and other forms of communication but without deliberately causing harm to others' character and/or reputation by false or misleading statements. 

            By the enlightenment of those meaning we can see that what happened regarding with the commotion between the administration and the Supreme Student Council of Marikina Polytechnic College is not really a rally but a freedom of expression. Mr. Jhon Clifford Bisol as the president of SSC together with his officers went to the guardhouse to ask the guard why they did not allowed students who wore black and red shirt in the wash day.  As one of the duties of being the students’ president Mr. Bisol tried to help his co-students. But on that day he did not succeed because of the close minded administration.

My opinion regarding with these matters, we are in one institution and as one we are suppose to help each other and not to be enemy. I view this institution as political because this institution is handled by communist dictator(s). A good example will be the FREEDOM WALL the wall should be where the students and teachers posted what she/he want to say to students or the students to teacher or even the admin but why that there is a guard to ‘guard’ the wall and tear off the posted papers or banner against the administration or even to those teacher who are pro-administration. By that action where is the freedom? And what is the use of the so-called freedom wall if the students and the teacher don’t have the freedom to post what she/he wanted to say.

 we respect your rights you should respect ours too..

Trends

Valentine's Day was come from St. Valentine who was said to be the priest and live in 270 A.D under the ruler of king Claudius II of Rome and it signifies also the Roman god of Love Cupid or Eros in Greek Mythology.

February 14, suppose to be the day for love, love for families, and love for friends and most importantly is love for couple or special someone. But what if you don’t have this special someone? Would you still celebrate the day?

There is nothing wrong to celebrate the Valentine’s Day whether you’re single or not. It is not the end of the world. And even if you won’t celebrate the day it couldn’t be called bitterness.  There are families and friends to be with. You don’t need special someone just to celebrate the heart day.

This coming February 14 let us celebrate the day of love with love, whether we are single or ready to mingle :). We just have to remember that if there is love (for special someone) it can wait. It will come in the right time and in the right place.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY FOLKS :)

Memoir

The Experienced of the Inexperience Love

What is love?

According to Miriam Webster

Love

: A feeling of strong or constant affection for a person

: Attraction that includes sexual desire: the strong affection felt by people who have a romantic relationship

: A person you love in a romantic way

According to freedictionary.com

Love 

A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness

According to Oxford dictionary

Love

A strong feeling of affection and sexual attraction for someone

Those definitions give me a literal idea of what really love is. But I’m looking for this kind of love which people talked, laugh and fight till death, a kind of love which sent somebody to the hospital. A kind of love which everyone could not find in dictionaries.  Have you experienced this kind of love? A love for special someone that you want to die for, you want to with for the rest of your life? What a poetic thought don’t you think?

Me, I never experience such thing, what I experienced are love of families, friends and self. I had been to relationships. I courted several ladies, and had boyfriends as in BOYFRIENDS but none of them could give me the right definition of what really love is. They

I thought it is a kind of delicacy because everyone is starved for it, a hunger game which the price is LOVE. Is the god of love CUPID will hate me for this? Or is he would strike me with his arrow to show me what that love is. Just like Mariah Carey’s song “I wanna know what love is”.

I asked my friends “for you what is love”, they laughed at me then they answered “it is when someone give you happiness, someone that will give you views in life”. As they answer I saw the happiness in their eyes. I don’t want to be hypocrite or bitter in love but I will wait for that someone to come. To answer me the questions I want to ask.

Gin with a Twist

Ginebra San Miguel is one of a famous liquor company here in Philippines. One of their products called “gin bilog” is commonly brought from sari-sari store by people who want to get drank. One group fans of this liquor called shembot girls in a small sitio in one of the brgy. in Antipolo City. This group is composed of the housewives in the said sitio and every time there is celebrations this drink called shembot is the common for them.

What is shembot? Shembot is composed of gin bilog, water, and powdered juice. But in the part of the shembot girls they make a twist which is to burn the alcohol content. Things to prepare: 0.5 liter of water in a 1.0 liter of pitcher, “gin bilog”, 30g powdered juice (any flavor will do), and cube ice. Here under are the steps of how to make the shembot:

1.      Open the “gin bilog” and pour the half to the pitcher.

2.      Put the 30g powdered juice to the half bottled gin and shake it well.

3.      Pour the gin with juice but while your pouring it, get a lighter or match and lit the mouth of the bottle until it flare.

4.      As the gin flare put immediately the bottle to the pitcher. Notice that the bottle sip the liquid. Then, pour the sipped water to the pitcher and get the stirrer and stir the shembot.

5.      You can also have the sliced lemon or sliced apple and put it in the pitcher.

It tastes like juice with a bit of gin. Since the bottle was flared the alcohol content get lessen so even if they drink one box or more of gin bilog in a celebration it won’t cost much because in one bottle and one pack of powdered juice is less than 50 pesos. It doesn’t even have a heavy hung over. Shembot is not just for ladies it could also be for gentlemen. 

TAGAY NA!!!! :)

Tutorial

Tutorial

Everybody says that home is the first classroom of the learners, so have you taught how to read the words bow? First of all who was your teacher or tutor? Did she/he differentiate the word bow in different pronunciation? I myself actually experienced this when I was starting to read words. Actually the question is how was I overcome this process to my nephew as his tutor. The process of how did I taught him how to read and differentiate the words bow.

            My nephew is now a preparatory student and by that age he is starting to read words. There are words which are difficult for him to read but the words bow make him confused. Since my nephew is already have a background of phonetics as part of their curriculum it somehow easy for him to analyze the sound of the letter and the words. As I introduced to him the word bow he pronounced it correctly /bo/. Then in the next day I introduced to him the same word unaware (I introduced the word thinking the other meaning and pronunciation of the word) he read it the same. Then I told him that there is another pronunciation of the word which is the /bau/ he asked why that this word have different pronunciation? I told him that it depends on its meaning.

            So I used it in context to determine the differences for him to be able to understand words better.

“Robin hood is a fictional character. He uses bow and arrow as his weapons. He is a good person who defeats bad people.”

“Rosetta is a great stage performer. She can act, dance sing and she can even play instruments. She is beautiful and after she is done performing she bow to the crowd.”

            Since my nephew is a first language users I answered him “and bow = /bo/ ay English ng pana at ang bow = /bau/ ay yung pagyuko ng mga performers pagkatapos magperform”. By using the words in contexts my nephew get the idea that the word pronounce depend on its uses.
