What Happens When You Get Mad

Anger, whether uncontrolled or bottled up can be a dangerous emotion. You've heard the familiar phrase, “He was so mad he didn't know what he was doing.” Flying off the handle has caused countless highway accidents, injuries on the job, marital burst-ups, and homicides. Repressed anger has brought on psychosomatic asthma attacks, hypertension, migraine, colitis and a host of other real and imaginary illnesses. Studies conducted recently about anger have led to a number of provocative concepts. A bad temper is contagious. If a man has a hot-head, his children probably will be, too-in unconscious imitation or self-defense. Between the ages of 10 and 25, your irritability is at its lowest. Then, it steadily increases until from 40-60 your rage capacity is highest.


If you were to look into a mirror when you lose your temper, you would see yourself redden. The veins in your face, and temple swell. Instinctively your fists clench and you may be speechless. The toll of unmanageable anger is incalculable. Accidents are very often the result of individuals pouring out their hostility on their environment. Emotional causes of accidents are often deeply hidden in the private lives of workers.


That hidden ager creates or contributes to physical ailments. What sort of people tend to be hot-tampered? The higher up you go in the social scale, the greater the tendency to turn anger inward and become depressed instead of furious. A highly educated man may retain his anger but a truck driver may punch someone's nose.


Women fly into a rage about half as often as men do. That may be because men are more constantly exposed to situations and people likely to irritate them. This is due to the fact that women as a group are usually further up in the social scale than men. They are more civilized. They don't go out and fight wars.


Are redheads hot-tempered? Evidently that is a myth. Maybe they tend to live up to what the public believes about them. It is true, however that people in certain jobs- watchmakers, artists, opera stars-whose work requires utmost precision or whose egotism is easily wounded seem likely to have explosive tempers.


What is the safe way to treat your anger? Generally, it is best to blow off stream rather than keep it bottled up too long. Temper is an outlet to rid your systems of hates, grudges, and envy. Suppressed anger only builds up health-sapping tensions. But, while it is good to valve off pressure, you obviously should not go around displaying senseless rages.


Anger can also be a healthy emotion. The additional adrenalin released into your bloodstream almost triples your energy, which can be used as reserve power to jar you out of inertia. It is our fighting instinct, a wellspring of action. Anger is normal and we should expect it as part of reality.


When and how to bottle it up or discharge it is the dilemma of modern times. We should feel free to have emotions. And we should learn to understand and control them. Good Day!

Home Technology...

Livelihood awareness has become significantly important in the Philippines due to our present economic difficulties. The high price of commodities has made life difficult for consumers. I learned to be productive by utilizing inexpensive and locally available materials.


When I was in the sixth grade, my teacher in Home Economics taught us on how to make candles. I am here to teach you on how to do this because this can help you come up with a project that can benefit you. We go to the Candle Making process.


First, we have to prepare the ingredients. These are the following: Paraffin wax which are available at chemical companies or from petroleum refining companies. The paraffin wax which is consists of seven parts of the total candle. Another is the dye. This is used for making different color; two parts of micro wax which are available at chemical or pharmaceutical outlets; one part of crystal wax which are also available at chemical or pharmaceutical outlets and the essential oil which can give you candles that are smooth and hard.


The materials needed are the following: Containers for mixing colors and melting wax, molds (Plaster of Paris or Aluminum) , double boiler, water heater, wick which is made of bleached cotton yarn available at the market and a ladle for pouring the liquid wax into the mold and a basin.


Let us go to the procedures. You may take note of these because these are quite many. First, cut the paraffin wax into pieces. Put in a container and heat it in a double boiler until the wax is completely melted. This can also be done by utilizing a cooking stove and heating pieces of wax in a cooking pan. Second, add dye to the melted paraffin wax and mix until the micro wax is completely melted. Next is heat the crystal wax in a separate container and add it to the paraffin wax-micro wax mixture. Then, add 1 teaspoon of essential oil per liter of wax solution to make the candles smooth and hard. Stearic acid may be used instead. Then, prepare molds ( in two parts) on which to pour wax by taking out clamps to separate the mold. Apply oil into the mold cavities to separate the candle easily. Insert the wick into the mold and bring both parts of mold together and clip. Using a big ladle, pour melted wax in mold, filling it up to top.


For solidifying, put the mold into a basin of cold water for a few minutes to solidify wax. Take out the mold from water, open, and remove the candles. Lastly, cut off the excess wick.


This can also be a way to earn money. You can sell this together with your friends to your neighbors. These are the ways to pack your candles. Pack candles in strong paper or cardboard to avoid moisture. Label each packet and you may put ribbons around it to make it nice. And Presto! It is ready to be sold.


I hope that you learned something from this experience in making candles I hope that it can help you in a way that you do not have to waste a lot of money in buying expensive candles for such occasions. Good Day!

A Family Affair

One of the most awaited event in the whole campus- the Family Day. This is the day wherein the whole family gather and enjoy the activities awaiting. First,a mass was held lead by a priest from the Cenacle. The singing of the praise songs was lead by the Glee Club's master which is Ms. Catherine Rodel together with the club's members.


After the mass, a field demonstration was held. The faculty gave us a thirty-minute break to prepare for our dances. We, the second years are assigned to dance the “Japanese Parasol Dance”. After we prepared, from costumes to props, we then stepped on the open court to get ready to groove but when the song started, it sounds like a mess so we also danced like mentally retarded people so we have to stop and request the operator to play it again. It was so embarrassing! The people were laughing but I said ti myself, “ Just enjoy the show and go with the flow.” I shared this thought to my batch mates and they followed what I said so we happily danced and danced until we are through.


After we danced, we laughed and laughed. We then went to our respective classrooms to change our clothes. Then, the people are now ready to watch our exhibits from the Science Week Celebration. The “Science Fair” wherein the students showed their investigative projects, The Open House” in the Home Technology Room wherein the students showed their creativity in making designs, house tools, decoration and many more.


But the parents did not know that we have an affair of our own- The Football Challenge. We went to the open field beside the Arts and Science Building known as the A.S Building. Sophomores, our team versus the Freshmen. We enjoyed the game but our team lost. Well, there are more chances await for us so we are not disappointed.


After the game, we ate our lunch together with other year levels. We ate a sumptuous meal with Buttered Fried Chicken, Chicken Fillet, Lumpia Shanghai, Lechon Baboy and most especially, the Fresh Fruits. We ate and ate until we are full.


We then had the games. First is the game wherein the players must wear the clothes situated on the chairs one by one. I played with the others and enjoyed it and the people kept on laughing because of the big clothes. We won!

Many games followed. After the games, the most awaited part of the affair started- the Raffle Draw wherein they were giving lots of lots of prizes. Consolation Prizes worth a Hundred Pesos plus a half gallon of Ice Cream, a Third Prize worth Seven Hundred Pesos, a Second Prize worth Five Hundred Pesos and the First Prize worth a Thousand Pesos. Who would not long for it?

We really enjoyed the Family Day even if I did not win in the Raffle Draw. Nevertheless, the food was good, the games, the exhibits were worth seeing, the presentation and most especially, the fun and excitement. We cleaned the whole campus and after that, few of my classmates and I went to Fuente Osmeña Circle where a program was held. The “GAWAD KALINGA ISANG MILYONG BAYANI” and I am one of them. They are searching for a million people who are willing to help the poor people that lost their homes. I really enjoyed the program and I am glad to help these people. Good Day!

Lights + A Voicerecorder = A TOTAL NIGHTMARE

Now that I have time to share to you one of the worst experience that I ever had. Yesterday, we had the final graded presentation of our play in Filipino which is the playing of the “Florante at Laura”. The introduction was nice, the costumes and also the props and the characters as well but in th latter part, it is a chaos. It is because we have not practiced yet the last part of the story. That is what II-Palma students are. So we practiced until6:00 in the evening. We went home immediately because it is already the curfew time and we have to rest and ready ourselves for tomorrow's event,the event which all of us are waiting for. Some parents are going to watch.


After the sleepless night because of thinking if what would happen the next morning, the day was on. The sun is shining brightly and the pressure, too much pressure is in. We tried to ask for the first two subjects because we want to practice but we failed. After the class, we immediately asked permission if we are allowed to practice for the rest of the periods left in the morning and gladly, they agreed. We practiced all the things which we have to work on. We prepared the costumes, the props, prepared the casts, and the most important, we prepared the player well.


We didn't expect that the big day was the worst day that we would ever have. I forgot to say, I was one of the emcees of the program. I really felt so nervous. After of which I introduced the judges, we already kept the ball rolling. Our production was the first one to present.


I was assigned to the player. But I lost my script! I kept on finding it because I really need it but I cannot. I have to start so I started without my guide. In the middle part of the play, I did not realized that I made the wrong narration so I re winded it but it is not still the one that I have been looking for. It was very embarrassing so I decided to read the narration.


I like to cry but I can't. I'm thinking that maybe the people would say that I am not strong enough. So i asked apology to my classmates. I said that it is my fault but they did not take this as a complain against me. They comforted me and so, I tried to keep and hold my faith unto the lord to help us.


The final decision has made. They then announced the winners of the contest. Our section got the Best Supporting Actor, the Best Supporting Actress, which were Neil Adrian Guadayo and Hazel Mary Pastelero respectively. We also had the Best Poster which was made by Ms. Nicole Mitchel Singson. After, I realized that we tried our best and we made our best but it is not enough. Extra efforts is the lack. We cannot blame ourselves but ourselves are to be blamed because we are very careless.


We then talked to each and everyone if they have learned a lesson and their answer is YES. We have to be ready all the time and we must also be alert on the possibilities that would come. “Expect the Unexpected” they say. So my only advice is plan ahead of time to attain a good result. Good Day!

Vote Wisely, Vote our Party!

The election period is fast approaching. Candidates are already giving their COC(Certificate of Candidacy). Posters here, posters there, promises here, promises there, promises are everywhere. Their pictures are seen everywhere you go, hoping that people would remember them in the incoming election.

A candidate must first campaign for himself/herself or for his party. During the campaign period, a candidate must sponsor an activity or advertises himself so that he would be famous. Here in school, we are doing the same thing. I running for the position External Secretary of the Student Council School Year 2007-2008 exerted extra efforts in making the campaign successful.

Together with my party mates, we made a door-yo-door campaign to the whole campus. But unfortunately, we didn't make it to the fourth years because they had had their Physical Education Class . Nevertheless, on the second day, we approached some of them and gave them campaign paraphernalia like stickers, party logos, etc.

The next day, a Grand Student rally was held. Each of us introduced ourselves together with the platforms which the party made for the betterment of the student council. We presented it through an artistic presentation so that it would catch the student's attention and to make them listen to us. We assured them many things for the next school year. After of which, an open forum was held on the same day at about 5:50 in the afternoon so we have to hurry because we are running out of time because of our play in “Florante at Laura”. People asked questions but not that much. I have something to tell you about what happened to our play so you better watch out for my incoming posts.

Two days later, the election is about to start. I was not felling well that day so I decided to ask permission to go home because our house is very near from our school. But Madam Noreen Mercado, our school clerk, told me to go home after the election because my vote counts so I followed her. I went home after I voted and came back in the afternoon.

I was very glad about the results. I won the position and I also had the highest votes of 277. Chic Madonna Tambagan won the position of Chairperson, Camille Anne Garcia won as the Vice-Chairperson, Ynez Poslitico won as the Internal Secretary, Stacey Kay Fortuna as the Auditor, Leslie Adolfo as the Treasurer, McCherry Anne deLeon as the Third Year Representative, and the others.

I hope that we can do our best for the Student Council and do better next school year. We will try our best to improve as an individual as well as a student leader for the betterment of the Student Council and for the betterment of the school.

They say that our batch (SC) is strong. We promise to be wise, to be sensitive on the needs of the whole student body, and to be trustworthy of your votes. We are very glad so in behalf of the Student Council, thank you for your time and cooperation.

Help us make our school a better place to live and improve well. Let us work as a team and be united once more. Just tell us all your problems and we are very glad to help you and we are ready to support you with the help of the teachers and the whole student body. Good Day!

SEDATED

Hate is not the word

Pain is not the choice
Revenge is never the answer

Letting go takes time
Be patient,
Even if it takes forever

Some way, you will forget him
Somehow,with patience,
It will come...

Remember the story that I gave you with my past blog post which states my experience with my first love? I shared to you this poem written by Louise Gabato which is taken from the CIC's School paper. It really inspired me because all the time, I never realized that he's very far away. He is no longer with me but why is he still bothering my mind? I really cannot understand my feelings.

My friends told me to forget him because he seems to fell happy with his new environment and his new girlfriend. So I think and think until I finally realized that my friends are true. I heard that he is enjoying his life with his new friends and his girlfriend and you know what? She is better than me. As what the poem says, Hate is not the word. Who am I to hate him? He's not mine and I'm not his so what is the big deal?

Pain is not the choice. I can hardly believe this because I fell pain but not too much. It is painful because to think, I still love him eventhough we are far away from each other. But by now, I already had relieved the pain I am feeling inside.

Revenge is never the answer. Fighting back never comes to my mind. Why would I fight him? " Do I have a good reason to be angry?" I asked myself then.

Letting go takes time. This is really true. Letting go of a person takes a lot of time for thinking, a lot of time to realize and a lot of time to accept. You have to accept it with all your heart.

Be patient. Letting go needs patience. If you find a hard time letting go, you will find a hard time on reducing your temper but even it takes forever, just be calm at all times because this refreshens your mind.

Some way, I will forget him. Now I'm starting toget over and I'm also starting my new life again with my new friends, my new inspiration. If there are times that all I can do is to laugh, I forget him just for a while but he always comes into my mind.

Somehow, with patience, it will come. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day, maybe the next week, maybe the next year or maybe just forever. I know it takes a lifetime to heal the wound but healing the wound would not take a lifetime. If he wishes that I'll burn his memories inside my heart, I would not because it is kept and locked in that place forever. But for now, nobody can replace him until the time comes that somebody would find the key and open it once again.

Hope that somehow I enlightened your minds and inspired you with these thoughts and you might remember these because you may realize that it is never too late. Good Day!

Wanted: A Sitter

I experienced to be a baby sitter for two days because my aunt wanted me to look after her son while she is on a badminton tournament held in Cagayan. She told me that I'll do the job in exchange for a small sallary but it can help .I can't resist it because I also need money that time so I immediately took the job.

When you decide to become a baby-sitter you are taking on a very serious job. But it is also a kind of job that can be a great deal for fun. When it comes to the fun side of the job you will quickly learn that on your own. Taking care of young children is a natural job for teenagers like me because I observed that most children like being with young people, teenagers often have a real knack for plying with them and baby sitting is a good way to earn money.

The most important part of the job is SAFETY. The children you take care for must be kept safe and away from harm so I asked assistance from my dear mom. She told me some suggestions. As a sitter, your a pretty important person in the life of the child. He may watch you closely, and copy from you so be sure you are setting a good example.

Of course, you know very well that you don't actually become a parent when you take on a sitter's job. You can't punish a child as some parents might. I really put these things on my mind because honestly, I'm not as patient as Cheng. Well, you don't know her by the way so let's go back. Oh! Ah, there are limits to this job. It may be up to you to let the parents know about your limitations so I said that I can't be a nurse for my aunt's child but I'll try my best to keep him away from harm. Every job has really its problems.

For your own sake it's important to let your own parents know exactly where you will be when you take on a sitting job. In my case, my aunt asked my parents first before they let my knew. Remember: You should not take a sitting job when you are sick. Whether or not you have other teenagers with you, one thing you have to be very clear about : YOUR MAIN JOB IS TO WATCH THE CHILD.

In order to make the child happy, make use of your own brand of know-how. If you have special talents, show it to them. If your a born storyteller, or maybe you can pick out a time on the guitar. Do you know how to fold a newspaper into hats or rowboats? It may not be a great deal to you, but the children might be interested about it.

But the most important is you have to love your job. Love the child as your own. Treat them as a person but not as an animal. As soon as you already feel this, you can do your job as planned. Thank you and Good Day!

A Miracle brought by God

A part of me once swam to a river full of mysteries to look for its missing piece, the missing piece that completes an organism. After they found each other in a vast place, they lived as one and developed a perfect organism- a product of love and passion. After which I have developed inside my first home, I left happily to a place full of love and prosperity-a place of freedom and a place where you can find peace. I then took my first breath quietly and started to join the others in their quest for Life- a far and a cold place.

I’m happy to say that I grew with the best mom and dad in the whole wide world who took care of me through richer or for poorer. After many years of eating nutritious food, sleeping in a soft bed and being loved all throughout, I finally reached the stage wherein I’m contented for what I have. I accepted with all my heart these characteristics: a soft and slender hair, my blurred eye vision, my long-legs, my knowledge and most especially my faith in our creator. I love myself. When I underwent my puberty stage, I noticed some changes in my life. I didn’t expect that such things would happen. The broadening of my shoulders, the changing of my voice, my menstrual flow every other month and like others, when the time came that I started to admire certain people.

Love is found everywhere, it is given by anyone and it occurs anytime. Now that I am continuously growing to be a matured individual, I’m still finding my true self my origin, my foundation. And now that I am starting to explore the beauty of life, as a student and as a human being, I then realized that everything goes somewhere, everything is connected to everything else and everything has its price, a purpose. The purpose of giving birth is to give opportunity for an organism to evolve, to live life to the fullest and face their bright future under God’s hands. God know all and I’m trying to know the purpose of living with him. I’ll give you this prologue taken from the book of Bodie and Brock Theone which is the Second Touch. May this inspire you? Find out.

Adonai spoke to her softly as He formed her.

I AM sending you.

Adonai loved her, created her as a reflection of His great love. He swam beside her as she emerged from the warmth of the womb into a cold, far country called Life.

She hesitated. Tried to turn back.

He compelled her to go on. Breathe! Don’t be afraid! You are sent by Me beyond what you imagine are the boundaries of your world.

Have trust in God. God know what you are doing and if you are in danger, he’ll find a way to keep you safe. Just do your job here on earth. Take care of God’s creations because by doing this, you are likely to respect God to the fullest. Just pray that you’ll have a long life so that you can enjoy the beauty of life. Good Day!

Filipinos Around the World!

People love to watch the series of "Pinoy Big Brother" because certain pinoys from alll over the world would love to be part of the said program. To reach their dreams to be one of the housemates, they must sacrifice a lot. Family, lovelife and most especially their studies. I'm pertaining to Dionne who's a cebuana/UPian who dropped all her subjects just to join the reality show. It is really a big sacrifice because to think, she is going to graduate this March but she chose to give up on her studies for the sake of her ambition.

You have to think it many times because your future depends on your decision. It is her choice so, it is also her responsibilities. I hope that her decision is good. Choosing her dream than her future, her bright future. I'll continue to pray that she would win because Cebuanos would really be proud of her and so do UPians that keep on voting her.

Let's go to Wendy. Her story is as dramatic as a telenovela in the television. When she was still young, they are very rich. Her parents can afford to buy all the things she wants and she needs. But a disaster came. Years later, the whole family experianced bankcruptcy. All their money just disappeared in action. That's really a big disaster, isn't it? Few months later, her father died. That is a total disaster for them. So, she dicided to stop studying and moved forward to modelling. After two years of her career as a model, she decided to continue on studying until she graduates. Now, she enters the world of KUYA hoping that she will reach her dreams by the foundation given by the said reality show.

Let's go to Robert. He's a Filipino living in Milan. Actually, her sister married a guy from Milan so she decided to bring her mother and so do Robert to Milan. Now, that her sister moved to another house, leaving Robert and her mother. Now, Robert serves as the breadwinner so he tried to look for his future here in the Philippines inside the Big Brother's House. He tried to do his best in every task so that he could win. He is very dedicated to win for his mother. Filipinos are like that. They are very loving persons. Not like people in other countries who leaves the aged to the Home for the Aged.

All of us really have to sacrifice for the sake of our loved ones. We even give our life in case of danger. In the case of these people who sacrificed a lot in order to attain a good life, may their decision is for the good. And for us filipinos, let's try to be wise and keep on dreaming till we reach the star. I'm very inspired with these people because eventhough they belong to broken families or the low-class in the society, they don't easily lose hope. They are hoping that they could win in order to be famous and when that time comes, they can give all their families' needs. Good Day!

Teaching is Difficult

The school is our second home and the teachers are our second mother/father. These teachers act as our parents and in the same time, our guide to our dreams. Being a teacher in a day is very exhausting, as what I have experienced this KNOW YOUR SCHOOL Day. What more if we teach for decades, it's really a big challenge.

In a Know You School Day, we have to pay tribute to our beloved teachers by learning to experience on hoe to be a teacher, it requires a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of patience. The first thing to do is you have to study the different lessons that you have to teach. You have to understand it in order to share it with the students. In connection, it also requires a lot of alertness and enthusiasm in order for the students to understand it easily. You must combine your knowledge and sense of humor but not all the time. This can help the students to learn easily the topics discussed.

You cannot expect that everybody can understand it right away so you have to be ready with your examples and possible applications where you can apply what you have learned. Another is, you have to go beyond the box. You must expect that students sometimes ask questions which are beyond the topics discussed. This requires a lot of time. You must be patient because patience is a virtue. Patience lessens the pressure in you.

Another is, you must also be approachable. There are times that no matter how the students try to understand, still they cannot. So you must be ready for what they are up to you. Think of all the possibilities. You must also manage your time wisely. You must also encourage the students to study hard so that they can reach their dreams to become successful ones.

Also, you msut show equality and no favoritism because this is a very common issue against teachers. You must also love your students as you love your job. You must do your best so that the things you learned from your college days and the money you spent in order to be a teacher would be worth.

To be a teacher is to be a hero to everybody. A hero who makes a difference. A hero who made things possible and a hero who thought of others than himself/herself. They say that teachers serve as the foundation of the future of a person. They start to introduce us in a very cold and far place called life. They tell us the ways to a brighter future and they also serve as our guardians.

I am very happy to experience the difficulties of being a teacher but those difficulties are worth. In every success, there are obstacles that one has to overcome. So Ma'am/Sir, continue on inspiring students, loving people and teaching us the importance of education. You are our heroes! May God give you long life so that you can build more futures. Good Day!

What a U.P student is NOT

Everytime I pass through a certain area where people know that UPians are intelligent and UP gives a good quality education, some actually say,"Woah! She studies in UP but is she really intelligent?" The last question bothers me. I'm forced to say,"Are all UPians really intelligent?" Most UPians are brilliant but not all. The good things in UP are the school, the teachers, the quality of education and most likely the students. You can say all the good things about UP but what are some exceptions?

Some say that we are what they call as "nerds" but we are totally not. Some say that all of us are good in speaking in english but we are just reaching the average level. And they say that all of us are all-knowing but are we really that brilliant? The key is on the teachers. And most likely, people say that UPians excel in different fields but not all of us become professionals in the society. We are not born to excel but it's beacause of our perseverance. Some don't have this certain perseverance in their vocabulary.

People say that we are academic-minded but the truth is, we also are sports-minded. Actually, we have these certain time of the year wherein a sportsfest is held. Other than the High School Intramurals, we also have the Science Olympics which involves Science. We, the UPians, has this part of the mind set for academics and a part set for the extra-curricular activities. Often, we also play Pinoy games like patentero, piko, etc. if we have time.

They say that UPians are silent type of people but all I can say is, WE ARE NOT! We know how to talk with each other bacause no matter what, friendship really blooms all over the campus. Another is, we have this trait of companionship wherein love teams and a group of friends ( barkadas ) are built. We are humans. We have emotions like ordinary peole because we are one of them. But we are special in a way that some people are not. We are part of a society. We are special because we receive a good quality of education even if we are one of the low-class people in the society.

But the most intriguing are UPians are said to find trouble when it comes to politics and other issues in the government. As what Mdm. Logarta has said, "This is a democratic country." We are free to give our own opinions. UPians don't find trouble but we find justice. Think of what will happen if people don't say their feelings on a worsening country. The government needs the people- thier suggestions and shouts in order to attain a peaceful country.

"Don't judge a book by its cover." As what have Ms. Melanie Marquez said, "Don't judge me, I'm not a book." I agree to this. UPians are not subject to be talked about in the society. We are not famous actors but only , we stand for our rights so they have to give it to us. Don't expect to much from us because we are just human beings. Good Day!

Some Difficulties in Making a Blog Project

"What things do we have to do for tomorrow?" I always say this every afternoon. I'm very busy everytime there are assignments, quizzes and projects. Almost everyday, life here in U.P is very tiring and here's this blog project requiring 3-5 posts a week. Oh My God! "What shall I do?"

In every success, there are difficulties behind it. For this blog project, you have to manage your time wisely. Honestly, I'm a deadline fanatic. I mean that I love deadlines because I do my projects the day before or on the exact deadline period. Some people are like that. Now, only a few days to go before the deadline but I have to work on 35 more so I have to hurry up. Now I realize that I am wrong. If only I started early, I must have finished early. Aside from being busy, I'm really a lazy person. You can't blame me because it's me. Well, being lazy is not a sin but being lazy is wasting your oppurtunity to do things in advance. Like this one. I have a free time every 3:00-3:30 PM, and during this period of time, I'm talking with my friends. But I tried to think of my blog project. With that 30-minute break, I must have wrote 2 drafts for the said project.

Let's go to money matters. We all know that we are experiencing crisis within this year so we have to save our resources (money). My limitation is 2 hours in the cafe every week because we have no computer at home. Another problem is my typing skills. I type words slowly so I think I can't type 2,500 words in 2 hours. This is also connected to time management. If only I spent my internet hours on my project than checking on my account in friendster.

Another is being patient. You first have to accept the truth that patience is a virtue. If you are not patient, you can't do things with too much pressure so you have to have this initiative to do things patiently.

I'll give these comments and take these as a student in an extraordinary school but not as a critique. 5 posts are too much! This project is not only my commitment but I also have other responsibilities in other subjects. But I must do this because this is the only way that I can receive a good grade. Am I right?

I have realized all my faults. I have learned from this experience. All I can say is, know how to manage your time beacuse time is gold. Be willing to give all you can. Be industrious. And the two important things- be thrifty and be patient. Know your limitations but try to see if your worthy with those limitations. Feel free to ask yourself,"Can I make a difference out of patience, industry and love? "

Of course, Loving what you do is very helpful. It is better to love what you do than to do what you love. Live life! Good Day.
