Time to Wake Up!

December 3 - December 9, 2012
        This week is a cold and rainy week. According to the news, there’s a typhoon named “Pablo”, hit the island of Mindanao. This typhoon left a very tragic event to most residents out there. Many lives were gone and many streets / compounds are still flooded. As of this we should be more aware and ready of this calamity, and we should learn to love and take care of nature.
         This week, we don’t have much assignments to do, and so I often use computer. I also often watch television in which I only watch when there’s news. I also often play gadgets; instead I just spend my time more on studying and reviewing lessons. When I’m brushing my teeth too, I use glass of water and prevent it of from leaking. And lastly, when I’m with all of these, I spend my time to rest and sleep.
         This week, we also have our field trip. We went to Quezon Shrine, Gardenia and lastly at the Enchanted Kingdom. I get amazed as I learn new things / trivia from Quezon Shrine and Gardenia, and enjoy rides like Ekstreme & Space Shuttle at Enchanted Kingdom. As of this, I did not just enjoy this trip but, I also help nature by managing my wastes by throwing garbages properly in the trash can and collecting plastic bottle to be recycled.

          A very busy week has passed. I spend my time mostly in making assignments and projects. As of this incidence, I helped again the nature in many ways.
          Because the weather is cold and it is somewhat good time to sleep, I am able to sleep even without electricfan! I often use my cellphone and so, I often charge it. I also unplug the appliances not in use like charging my cellphone/ other gadgets.
          Aside from it is cold; we’re very busy this week. We’re always having activities, homeworks and test; as a result, I used to sleep in 12 midnight this week! My computer is always turned on. To help the environment again, I make sure to turn off the appliances/ gadgets not in use. Like for example, our television, I used to turn it on if necessary or if we have to watch for news.
          When I am brushing my teeth too, I use a glass of water. And I also make sure that there is no leaking water from the faucet.

5 Research Topics:

• Parents want to raise children who eat a variety of nutritious foods. What parenting strategies are the most successful in meeting this goal? (Strategies include: always clean your plate, eat two bites of everything, eat what you want, serve children only foods they like, etc.) Also, should parents use food as a reward? 
• Should recycling plastic be mandatory? 
• How is the music industry being affected by iTunes and other services that allow customers to buy individual songs as opposed to entire albums? 
• What do teachers and students need to know about the role of multiple representations and their integration in the specialized written genres and professional practices of various subject disciplines? 
• Does online social networking make people more or less likely to interact with people in "real life"?

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.

          Supposedly we'll have a Semestral Break, but unfortunately, we didn't. This is due to “Southwest Monsoon" wherein our class was suspended for 4 days. As of this, we should pay for those unexpected “no classes” by means of not having a semestral break. Most of the students are sad, but we should be thankful because we can still get benefit from that, we’re still able to learn.

October 14 - October 20,2012
         A tiring week passed, Even though it’s just the start of Third Grading, we’re already doing some projects and activities. I need to study more yet, I never forget to take  care of nature.
         Third grading had just start. I spend my time more on studying and making assignments. As I am making assignments, I first look for some information in the textbook instead of surfing the internet immediately. For me, it is more reliable in textbooks compare to some sites in the internet. As of that, I helped again the nature to decrease the use of energy and I also help my parents in financial needs especially our electric bills. I also turn off the lights not in use. I often use gadgets and so I often charge it. And lastly, I often watch television. All I have to do is to focus in my studies.
          This week I also manage my waste. I throw my garbage properly in the trash can. I also segregate it. In addition to that, I minimize the use of plastics/ plastic bags. I collect plastic bottles and papers for my project. When I have time, I also recycle.
          When its weekend, all I have to do is to make assignments and go to my classmate’s house to practice our role play. When I’m done doing all of this, I sleep to regain the energy I lost for the past few days. See, it’s a very tiring week yet, it brings a lot of fun because I can still help nature a lot.
