The Effect of Facebook in Today's Value Change

Facebook one of the most influential site on our society today. Maybe many of us do have a Facebook account. But what really is the purpose of having one? Sometimes we do things just to be in you know the go with the flow, just to avoid being called "outdated". I was already in third year highschool then but I still not know about these things. I was not fond of playing games on computer nor joining these so called networking sites. But as the time came we had a subject about computer I had no choice I had to learn these things and also our only way to communicate with our teacher was through the computer. So after our class I'd run to the nearest computer shop because I'm the only one in class who doesn't have a networking site such as Friendster, My Space , Gmail, Ymail etc. Because it was my first time to handle computers I really had no idea what to do good thing I found one of my classmates and because there is still no vacant unit I asked him to help me. I was a little bit shy because he might laugh at me but he didn't that was one good thing. From then I don't know what happened I became addicted in computers. Until now I have my own Facebook account and I also joined other sites. Facebook is I guess one way to communicate with our long distance family, friends and others. This also make us receive news and informations faster with just a matter of seconds. Having an account like Facebook is like being updated to early happenings in our society. As of today Facebook is being used by police to track criminals. It is very useful because many people using it and because of that many people are being aware about the criminals. Some people also use Facebook in doing criminal acts. We have heard of young girls being raped by their chatmates in Facebook. So this only mean that we should balance our use of this. We should use it wisely and not to trust everything you see or meet in the site. We should always remember that everything that's excess is bad.

Is It A Boy or A Girl?

The condition where the person has an extra sex organ can be called Hermaphrodite or intersex. Hermophroditos is the son of the Greek God Hermes and Goddess Aphrodite. According to people he was once a handsome young man who attracted the love of Naiad nymph "Salmakis". Salmakis prayed to the Gods that the two of them should be united forever. In answer to her prayer their two forms were merged as one. At the same time her spring acquired the property of making men who bathed in it's water soft and effeminate.
The condition can be explained as a result of chromosomal malfunction. There is an extra Y chromosome in a pair of gonosomes(sex chromosome). The person has biological features of both male and female characteristics. Some people do not identify themselves as either male or female.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

"The greatest discovery of my life is when I solved the mysterious equations of love." This line was from the film a beautiful mind. We watch the film for our Psychology class I never thought that it would affect me that much. The film was surely an inspirational one, it was based on the life of American Mathematician John Nash. The film focused on him being a mathematical genius and his struggle with paranoid schizophrenia. I like the movie so much it's not because Russell Crowe is the lead star and he acts so great but with the story of the movie. At first it is very challenging for the viewers to determine who or which is true or imaginary. I will recommend this film to my friends. The story tells us that even we don't know which is true or not we should trust in our self. I adore John Nash because even though he has paranoid schizophrenia he still lived his life to the fullest. Many people called him psycho but he doesn't mind he just pursue his life with what he really wants and with his family. He really deserve the Nobel Prize award.

Manila Hostage Taking Crisis

This is a clip from the hottest issue our country is going through right now. The Manila hostage taking crisis where eight people were killed and nine were injured. The incident happened on August 23, 2010 at the Quirino Grand Stand where former police Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza hijacked a tour bus carrying 25 people (20 tourists and a tour guide all from Hong Kong and 4 Filipinos) in attempt to get his job back. He said that he was summarily dismissed without the opportunity to defend himself, and that all he wanted was a fair hearing. After about ten hours into the siege, the Filipino bus driver was able to get out of the bus by falling through the driver's bus window and was shown into television saying everyone is dead before being whisked away by police. This result to shoot out and watched by millions on live television news and took around 90 minutes. At the end, eight hostages and the hostage taker were dead and nine were injured. The Hong Kong Government soon issued a "black" travel alert for the Philippines. The assault on the tour bus to rescue was widely regarded as bungled and incompetent. The Philippine government admitted the errors and promised to investigate and report it all to the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong SAR governments.




Sincere condolences for the family of the victims. We can't blame the Hong Kong government for issuing a 'black" travel alert for our country but let just all hope that they accept our apologies and realize that not all Filipinos are like former senior inspector Mendoza. We can't blame no one because we're not in their positions we don't know what really happened and what are they really thinking back then although we watched it live on the television news. That's all I can say right now let's just wait for further investigations.

Sad Story: The Bridge Master and His Son

This is one of our topics in psychology class. Our professor told us about this story of a moral dilemma. It was a week after our lecture about this when my classmates share this video in my account in facebook. As I watch this I can't stop my tears from falling. It is really one moral dilemma. It is so hard for the father's part to choose between the life of his son and the life of many passengers of the train. I realized then he was a very brave man I thought that if I was in that situation I really don't know what to do. Another thing is at the last part of the video there was the famous phrase from the bible from the book of John 3:16 - "For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life" it is also related in the story because the father chose to save the life of the people inside the train instead of his own son's life. After watching this video I realized that true love is really a sacrifice. He chose to save others lives instead of his own son's life even he doesn't know those people. This video also made me realize that God really loves us all even though we do things against his will he still saves us by giving up his own son. I think I don't want to encounter situations like this in my life. I really don't know how to handle these kind of situations.

The Gift of Friendship

We all start from being strangers but isn't it strange we're the best of friends now. As I go back I simply can't remember how did we end up here. We're all just classmates and then we started calling each other best friends. It's been three years from now we're all still intact. Many trials had come and go through our friendship but still we're here happy each others company. I'm so blessed to find such true friends like you all. We arrived at this moment encountering lots of problems but this one situation when I remember I always laugh out loud.
That Sunday the whole day the four of us go together at the mall to attend our school activity there. We're so happy that we doesn't think of anything but enjoying our bonding in the mall. Monday I was absent because I was so exhausted that I can't get out of my bed. I don't know what happened it was Tuesday I felt something unusual. The three of them are not talking with one another. That is when I asked them if something was wrong. That time some of my classmates told me that my three best friends were having a conflict. Then after our class that morning I talked to them trying to solve the conflict. I don't know what's going on between the three of them I don't know what's the reason because they don't want to tell me if what's wrong. That time I had an idea the three of them don't talk to one another and I'm the only one they're all talking to. So I tried not to talk with them and tried to ignore them. So after the morning class we all walk home but not making any word. I think they're really not use to it when I'm so quiet. That's why the three of them stopped in front of me and tell me exactly what happened between them the other day. They told me that lunch time on Monday they all agreed to eat lunch together but unfortunately the plan was ruined. Just because of a little misunderstanding. They agreed to wait for each other at the school's gate then they're already complete. The other one told the two that she's going home because she forgot her lunch and that her house is only a street away from the school and promised to go back. But the two misinterpret her and they thought she's not going back so they already left and had their lunch. As she comes back to the gate she didn't saw them so she decided to eat alone because the next class is near to start. The three of them met at the classroom and they hadn't spoken. As I'd learned the reason I told them that it was so nonsense and the four of us burst out with laughter and the conflict was solved.
Is it me or they just can't live a day with out me getting so noisy. So the conflict was resolved because I didn't talk. That's the part where I always laugh.

"No One Stops To Say Thank You" and "The Mysterious Mountain"

Question 1: How does the author support his ideas?

The author support his ideas by giving a certain situation from his observations. For example in his observations on everyday courtesies the author points out the situations where people now a days don't mind to stop and to say thank you to someone who did good deeds for them. Then the behavior of teenage boys that no longer do chivalrous acts. That more women than men hold open doors for those behind them. The parents no longer instruct their children doing good manners. While on his observations on inadequate parenting, the author observed that parents no longer instruct their children to hold open doors for those behind them. The author also observed that parents no longer send their children to school for social graces. The situation where the clowns were giving animal balloons to the children. but the children just get the balloon and ran away with out even saying thank you. This is an another observation from the author where rude language is already an accepted behavior. So in conclusion the author didn't just write what he wants to write he based on his observations.


Question 2: Who do you think is the audience for this article? Elaborate your answer.

I think the audience of the article are the readers. Because the readers are the one's who read the article. They'll be the one to understand, react and question the writer's ideas, and purpose for writing the article and others.

Perseverance, Persistence, Determination: Key to Success

Our next blogging activity is about this line- "The difference between impossible and possible lies in a person's determination". Last Saturday Teacher Lynnie told us a story about one girl's determination. That was a very inspiring story. Everytime I hear the lines above I remember the times when I was so confused about my life. I had no plans for my self at all. I thought it was impossible for me to pursue what I really want. I thought it was impossible to disobey my father's decision. I never thought that this day would ever happen to my life. That is why when I was in that exclusive school where my father sent me I was so-called "the happy-go-lucky girl". I don't know why they've entitled me of that but I can't blame them. I can tell back then I really was not that serious in everything that I do. I don't take life seriously every days of my life just pass by and nothing happens. Then I realized what am I doing? Everything changes everyone is already ahead of me. I was left alone I was nothing my life was nothing. Then I tried to regain my life make the right choices. Until I came to this part of my life. I managed to see the difference of me now. I had lots of things that I'd sacrificed. Namely living a happy life with my siblings. I had to leave my happy life. And time pass by I'm no longer the happy go lucky girl. I was shocked I was no longer the person that I was before. I was determined to show them that I've already changed a lot. That I'm more determined now to study. Maybe that's the reason why I always find my self studying late at night. Studying my lessons even there's no exam. They thought it was impossible for me to change because ever since I was in grade school they never saw me study even once. That's what I thought too but now I don't know what happened a major transformation for me. So I'm hoping that this new me continues to grow and develop more.

A Very Tiring Week

I'm here again doing my blogging activity here at an internet cafe near our campus. It's been a long tiring week. Our classes was suspended from Monday to Tuesday so I think I had enough rest. But after those short day of vacation that I thought I was relieved from school activities. Wednesday our first day of class for this week. As usual I report for my ROTC duty in the morning then after that a class on our English 3 but It's enjoying because I saw my crush hahaha then another class in history . The next day again I report for my ROTC in the morning then a class in Filipino 1 another class in math but we all didn't no we have no class in Math 2 because it's our prelim for the next day. So we waited for our next class which is our major Psychology. Some of my classmates study while waiting some just chat and wait I'm one of them hahaha. I want to relax myself for even a single moment that's why I just chat with my other classmates. Then the time of Psychology came wow the topic is still about the Prelim Exam. I listened carefully as my professor tells us what to review. Then came the time to go home. Oh my gosh it's very late but it's okay I'm with my classmates so there's nothing to be scared of. I eat dinner then after that I studied for my Math 2 Prelim I didn't notice the time it's past three o' clock in the morning. I still have to sleep so I'd slept but only for two hours then again I wake up five in the morning. Maybe you're all wondering why I exert too much time and effort for my Math subject it is because I'm not good at Math. I had this once in a lifetime experience in my Math class back when I was in Grade two. We had a seat work wort five points after checking the papers I saw a zero on my paper. Unlike my other classmates who's crying after seeing their paper with zero marks I told myself I'll never get a zero again on my Math class neither of my other subjects. After then even I still don't get the highest grade in Math at least I don't get zero even in my other subjects. Only one hahaha of course it's a joke. Then I realized you can do anything by conditioning your self in doing it. Back to my tiring week then came the day of our life "Math 2 Prelim" I think it's the end of days what should I do. As our proctor is distributing our papers I thought my hands we're shaking I don't know why maybe because of the air-conditioning in the room or maybe the worse reason because I know the possibilities of getting a low grade. But as I said I already conditioned myself. At last two hours pass by and it's the time when we're all done taking the exam. After that exam I didn't bother to think of that exam again I just want to wait for the result. Again thank God it's Friday we have English 3 class and again a happy moment seeing my crush another hahaha. Then lecture with History 1 and a debate about taking a quiz next week or not before the Prelim . Of course I'm afraid of the result of Prelim Exam in History actually on all subjects that's why I chose to take a quiz before. My reason even if some of us get low grades on the Prelim we can save our grades by taking points from our quizzes right or right? Then of course the opposite team won. We're not taking our quiz. I got home ate dinner and fell asleep. So tired that I didn't bother to reply messages of my friends. Then I woke up late this morning realizing that we have a General Assembly to attend on. That is why after the Assembly I am here doing this Blogging Activity. That is all Thank You.

A Walk to Remember

2ND BLOGGING ACTIVITY





Movie Sypnosis
I first saw this movie when I was in high school. The movie was a very inspirational movie about love and death. It started when Landon Carter (Shane West) a member of popular but troubled undirected group get busted and in punishment he has to do community service activities which include the high school's spring play where the young and beautiful daughter of a minister Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is also a part of the play. The truth of the matter is Landon can not act so he acquire the help of Jamie. They grow hesitantly closer than their previous adversarial relationship as old bonds. Landon somehow falls in love with the beautiful ministers daughter. Abandoning his friends to be with her and Landon shares true love with Jamie. But a heart breaking secret lies the couple. Jamie finally tells Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. Landon gets upset at first. Jamie tells him the reason why she didn't tell him because she was moving on with her life and using the time she left but then Landon happened and she fell in love with him. Landon continues to fulfill various wishes on Jamie's list, such as building her a telescope so she can see a comet. Through this process, Landon and Jamie learn more about the nature of love. The movie ends with Jamie's death, but only after the couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list. Landon himself becomes a better person through Jamie's memory, achieving the goals that he set out to do, like she did. Four years later and Landon visits Jamie's father. It is obvious that Jamie helped him to focus and become a better person. For example, he reveals he has finished college and been accepted to medical school; prior to meeting her he had no plans for life after high school. He tells Jamie's father that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie's wish to witness "a miracle" before she died. Her father says "She did. It was you".

My Opinion:

I love the movie it inspire me a lot. It tells us that it is never to late for change. That miracles in life do happen. Just like what happened to Landon and Jamie's love story. Jamie wants to see a miracle in her life and it happened when she met and fell in love with Landon. Landon has no plans in life he just want to have fun. But when he met Jamie and fell in love with her his life changes. Their life changed. Jamie lived her life to the fullest with Landon. Landon lived his life to fulfill Jamie's last wishes. The film was great it tells that love can change every persons' vision in life and it's reaction towards death. But i think it would be better if the movie end with Jamie leaving a child for Landon.

Struggling Of An Eagle

I was once a chicken I did not know what i was supposed to be. I'm a servant always following orders from other people. I always take their advises before doing something because I was a coward afraid of doing things wrong. I was incapable of doing things on my own. Back when i was young i dreamed of being a broadcaster. I want to be famous in that field. I was five years old when I was so determined in pursuing that dream. I look into a mirror bigger than me then I told myself I will work hard for this dream no matter what happens and no matter who will block my way. As years in my life passes by something strange happened to me. I'm no longer that determined little girl. And as I look again into that same mirror I saw a girl. A girl that looks like me locked into a dark chamber. I was so scared I run away from that mirror. I don't know what to do now. They send me to an exclusive school because that's what they think will be better for me. Each day I lose hope for my dreams and the chamber gets darker than ever. It's half of year when i saw a dot of light from that dark chamber. It was then i realized something. Even I try to forget my dream and find happiness in that new school still something is missing. Then one day i just woke up and remembered the determined girl that I was once before. I tried to convince them but they did not listen. So I made up my mind and found a reason to leave that dark chamber and begin to explore the world around me. Now I'm an independent girl unchained and exploring the beauty outside of my chamber. Even there are trials around me I can still stand up proud because I'm not a chicken anymore I can prove I'm an eagle now because I can soar up high and achieve my dreams.
