My Low Carbon Diet Entry #13


August 26- September 1, 2012
          Rainy Months are over, “BER” Months here it comes! I’m starting to put my room some Christmas Decorations. This event is the the event that I'm always waiting for because I see my cousins and other relatives when Christmas is coming. Still the weather is something unpredictable. Sometimes it rains very hard, and sometimes the sun shines very bright and it is hot.
          This week, we only have 3 days to go to school due to the celebration of National Heroes Day & 126th Day of Marcelo H. Del Pilar, a hero in times of Spaniards from Bulacan, and so I help again the nature a lot. We don’t have to do much assignment and so I often use computer. I am just using it when is I have to do something very important. I also often use gadget especially my cellphone. I’m just using it when I need to text my mother or other relatives.
           I often watch television. Instead, I continue to do my lecture and review for test to be taken next week. To help lessen our energy consumption, I also unplug the appliance not in use. I also decided to clean my room and segregate it biodegradable to non-biodegradable.

My Low Carbon Diet Entry #12

August 19- August 25, 2012


         A week has just then passed. Most of the days in class were suspended due to some special holidays. The weather is something very unpredictable, so I am always bringing umbrella in case the rain will fall. As of these happenings, I helped again to save the nature, that may be too small but, for me it’s a very big help for nature.
         Every morning, I wake up with a smile. I thank God for all the good things that he gave to me and my family. I ate my breakfast and brush my teeth using a glass of water. After that, I start doing my assignments and some lectures to be accomplished this week at our terrace so that I will not be using light during daytime.
          When I’m going to near places, I prefer to walk instead of riding vehicle. This week also, I often use gadgets especially my cellphone. These are all the little things I do to help Mother Nature this week

Tropical Cyclone

Formation of Tropical Cyclone
  • Today, I learned that a Tropical Cyclone, also called typhoon or hurricane, is intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans and is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high winds, and heavy rain. It strengthens when water evaporated from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air. It generates winds that exceed 119 km (74 miles) per hour. 
  • I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in my daily life in order for me to be alert and aware of the possibilities that this may happen in our country. 
  • Learning about this phenomenon is important because we can be ready of the effects of this phenomenon. 
  • On larger scale, I share my learnings to my friends, family and to other people for them to be also aware and ready if this will occur in our country. 
  • I need to know more about the factors and effect of this phenomenon so that I can be responsible and alert of this phenomenon.

My Low Carbon Diet Entry #10

August 5 - August 11,2012


     A very rainy week has just passed. It’s very cold yet, the rain does not stop pouring. I am always wearing sweater even though I am only here at our house. I did not use electric fan, instead I let the cool air come over the window and feel it. And because it is cold, I often use water to make my body cool or fresh.

     Classes were suspended for 4 days. We’re not as busy as last week, and so I spend my time wisely to help the environment. I decided to clean my room again and design it. I clean the light for it to give a better light. I also separate my garbage to biodegradable to non-biodegradable. I decided to put some environmental posters so that I will get inspire to help and save nature. After I clean my room, I continue to make my assignments and lectures and review some of the lessons that has been discussed this Second Grading Period. I also often use gadgets like cellphone and so, I often charge it. That help may be a little help, but for me, I know it help a lot the nature.
      There’s no typhoon but, why does the rain pouring very hard? Class in some school and other government offices were suspended. According to PAGASA, it’s only because of the southwest monsoon. But this monsoon brings a very serious problem. Some of the places in region 3 and other regions in Luzon suffered a very tremendous flood. Many lives gone and many properties destroyed. Its only monsoon yet, bring a worse flood! How about if a very strong typhoon come? Oh, I wish that we should really be concern more on this tremendous problem.

LPA (Low Pressure Area)


Air rises near low-pressure areas. As air rises, it cools and often condenses into clouds and precipitation
  • Today, I learned that Low Pressure Area is a region where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is lower than that of surrounding locations. It is form under areas of wind divergence which occurs in upper levels of the troposphere. It is usually associated with high winds, warm air, and atmospheric lifting. Because of this, Low Pressure Area normally produces clouds, precipitation, and other bad weather such as tropical storms and cyclones. 
  • I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in other lessons related to this phenomenon and in my daily activities. 
  • Learning about this phenomenon is important because this can help me understand the different weather circumstances that really affect our lives. 
  • On larger scale, I share my learnings to my friends, family or any other people for them to be aware and ready also if this will ever happen to them. 
  • I need to know more about this phenomenon so that I can be more responsible and aware of its effects if this phenomenon will happen in our place.

My Low Carbon Diet Entry #9


July 29 - August 4,2012
         A very tiring week has just passed. This week, I spent more time on reviewing my lessons because we’re going to have to take Periodical Test for the First Grading Period. Still, I don’t forget my habits to help nature.
         This week is a very cold week! I often use electricfan and I used to fan myself or let the cool air come in to our window. I often use computer and I also often watch television or any gadget because I used to spend my time on reviewing my lessons or making some projects. We don’t have much to do and so I help my mother in some household chore like washing dishes. I prevent water from leaking and I use basin of water when washing the dishes. And lastly as I am brushing my teeth, I use glass of water instead of letting it from flowing.
          Our country experienced today a very strong typhoon named “Gener”. This typhoon gave a very tragedy event. Many properties destroyed and lives are gone. I know that this is due the striking back of nature because of man’s greediness. If we did not cut trees, or do anything that harms the nature, we won’t suffer this very tragedy event. For now, I only wish that we should be aware and know amore on how to protect nature.
