"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.
