"Desiderata" by Max Ehrman

7:28 AM |





                       As I read this lovely and a very inspirational poem made by Max Ehrman, I learned so many things that I should apply in daily life. It leaves a very wonderful message not only to those who gone astray, but also to people who still don’t believe to themselves, who compare themselves to others.
         This poem conveys that we should not surrender or give up in every dream we want in life. Instead, we should focus more on with our dreams. We have to do something to reach it, like climbing a mountain. But as we are reaching our dreams, we should come up with virtue. We should avoid temptations, which will make our dreams fail. And lastly, we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. God made us unique from one another to learn and to appreciate our life, not other’s life.
        One of the stanza I like most is “With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy”. This stanza made me realize that in every bad thing happen to us, we should still be happy. We should not stop believing of what we want. That’s life. If we give up, it’s like losing money from a lottery for 1 day. Instead, we must be thankful of that; that this broken dream made us stronger. That in the future, these failures we experienced may be the reason why we became successful.

My Low Carbon Diet Entry #24

6:39 AM |



November 12 - November 18,2012
          Another busy week passed. We have so many outputs,projects, assignments and even test to accomplish, yet I still don’t forget my duty as God’s steward to care and protect nature. This help may be little, but at least I did my best to preserve nature.
         This week, as I am making my assignments/ outputs, I manage my waste. I throw my garbage properly in the trash can. I also collect papers to donate or to sell for good use. The computer is always turned on, but I make sure that there is no other gadget/ appliance that are open. And, when I’m with all of these, I spend my time to review, write lectures, sleep / rest instead of playing computer games or watching television.
         Since the weather is something cold, I often use electric fan especially at night. I also don’t waste water by means of brushing my teeth using glass of water. I also make sure to turn off the light when not in use and even appliances. And lastly, I prefer to walk or to ride on a bicycle when going to near places. These are the few things I’ve done this week that you may notice a cyclic, but its part of my life, a duty to save nature.

          A week passed. The weather is something hot in which we do not expect. We’re expecting for cold and windy weather because northeast had just come a week ago. Even tough it’s hot,it does not affect my daily routine of protecting nature as God’s steward.

This week I…

  • Manage my wastes by throwing garbages in the trash can; 
  • Segregate wastes into biodegradable and non-biodegradable; 
  • Turn off the electricfan when it’s cold especially in the morning; 
  • Turn off then unplug any appliances not in use; 
  • Prevent the water leaking from the faucet; 
  • Seldom use computer or any gadget; 
  • Turn off the lights during the day; 
  • Collect papers instead of throwing; 
  • Clean my room especially the light bulbs for it to give a better light; and lastly, 
  • Prefer walking instead of riding vehicle when going to near places.

My Low Carbon Diet Entry #22

October 29 - November 4,2012


          This week, we have to go to school for 3 days only. This is due to some special holidays like All Saints Day and All Souls Day. This is the time where we visit cemetery to remember our beloved relatives who passed away. We light candles and put flowers into their grave. As of this, I can still help nature in many little ways.
           This week, I only go to school for 2 days, because we have to clean the grave of our beloved relatives on the 3rd day. We don’t have much assignment / outputs to do and so I spend my time to rest or sleep early. As of this, I seldom use computer. I also seldom use gadgets especially my cellphone and so I seldom charge it. I also turn off the lights or any appliances not in use.
            When the long weekend came, I help my brother in doing his projects in some subjects. As I am helping him, I manage waste. I throw garbage properly in the trash can. I also collect papers wherein I have trash can for papers so that I can sell or donate it to our school. I also segregate wastes and sometimes recycling it if I have time.
             This week, we also experienced a cold weather especially in the morning. As of this, I seldom use electricfan and I seldom use much water to cool my body. Well, these are the only things I do to help nature in a little way. It may be little, atlease I made an effort to help nature and to be God’s steward
