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.

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.

- 2. Unplug the appliances not in use;
- 3. I turn off the lights during the day;
- 4. Minimize the usage of gadgets; and lastly,
- 5. Throw my garbage in proper place.

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.

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.

First Grading is about to end, and so a very busy week has passed. I used to sleep before or at 12 midnight! We need to finish outputs and projects because we’re going to take the periodical test next week. But I still don’t forget my ways to conserve energy to help Mother Earth.
Even though the computer is always turn on, I only often watch television and use my cellphone, because I am really busy. I also used to unplug the appliances not in use. When we’re having or practice or going to some near places, I prefer walking instead of riding a vehicle.
And lastly, because again, its raining very hard, I often use electricfan. That help maybe simple, but for me I know, that I help a lot to save the environment.
La Niña Phenomenon
- Today, I learned that La Niña Phenomenon is the trade wind that is unusually strong due to an enhanced pressure gradient between the eastern and western Pacific. During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3–5 °C.
- I will apply this learning about this phenomenon in my daily activities so that I can be ready and aware regarding with this phenomenon.
- Learning about this phenomenon is important because this can help in reserving nature and become ready if this will ever occur.
- On larger scale, I will share my learnings to other people, for hem to know that this phenomenon is not normal, that we should stop bad doings regarding to Mother Nature.
- I need to know more about this phenomenon so that I can be ready and aware of this phenomenon
El Niño Phenomenon
- Today, I learned that El Niño Phenomenon is the abnormal warming of surface ocean waters in the eastern tropical Pacific, is one part of what's called the Southern Oscillation (the see-saw pattern of reversing surface air pressure between the eastern and western tropical Pacific).The accepted definition is a warming or cooling of at least 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) averaged over the east-central tropical Pacific Ocean. When El Niño conditions last for many months, extensive ocean warming and the reduction in Easterly Trade winds limits upwelling of cold nutrient-rich deep water and its economic impact to local fishing for an international market can be serious.
- I will apply my learning about this phenomenon in my daily activities/ habits so that I can be aware of this very serious phenomenon.
- Learning about this phenomenon is important because I will be aware, knowledgeable and ready this phenomenon will happen.
- On larger scale, I will share my learnings to other people, for them to be also aware, ready if this phenomenon will happen and lastly for them to know that if we, people will continue doing activities that can destruct the beauty of nature; we will suffer this very serious phenomenon.
- I need to know more about this phenomenon so that I can be more responsible and aware in all of my actions that I do. I know that this can affect me if this phenomenon occurs.
My Low Carbon Diet Entry #7
A very rainy week has passed. I heard from the news in a television that there is a typhoon named “Ferdie”. Well that may be the reason why it is very cold this week and from the passed weeks. Because it is cold, I help again the environment. The weather is something good time to sleep, and so I can 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. 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.

Tail of a Cold Front
A front bringing in a cold air mass, because cold fronts move along the ground where they encounter friction, they move slower at ground level than they do further up in the atmosphere
- Today, I learned that Cold Front is defined as the leading edge of a cooler mass of air, replacing (at ground level) a warmer mass of air, which lies within a fairly sharp surface trough of low pressure. It forms in the wake of an extratropical cyclone, at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern, which is also known as the cyclone's dry conveyor belt circulation. It is developed by means of cooler and denser air wedges under the less-dense warm air, lifting it.
- I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in my daily activities, in preparing for any possible weather problems, and to my other related lessons.
- Learning about this phenomenon will help us to become aware and to understand the weather happening around us.
- On larger scale, I will share my learnings about this phenomenon to my friends, classmates or any other people for them to clearly understand this phenomenon.
- I want to know further more in this phenomenon for to become more responsible and aware.

A very rainy week has come. And so, I used to bring umbrella when I am going to school or any other place. Still, I don’t forget my lifestyles to help the nature. I often use electric fan because it is really very cold! I often go in some places where I don’t have something important to do like going to my friend’s house just to play or do nothing.
This weekend, we don’t have much outputs do and so I decided to clean my room and our backyard wherein I use to segregate waste into biodegradable and non- biodegradable. After that I decided to take a rest and review my previous lessons for the short quizzes we’re going to take next week.

June is over, and July here it comes! The weather gets colder and wet! But I’m glad, that I can help the environment more. I often use electric fans and lights; instead, I use to help my mother in some household chores. When I am washing dishes, I use basin of water, and also when I am brushing my teeth, I also use glass of water. Because of that efforts, I’m happy that our electric and water consumption decrease.
When we’re having practice, I prefer walking when it’s on near places. When I’m eating snacks/ merienda, I first put the trashes here in my pocket instead of throwing it anywhere, and then I throw it on the trash can. When the practice ends, I walk again and take a rest instead of watching television. A little help to the environment makes e feel comfortable and happy.
