My not-so-fun Vacay!

MY NOT-SO-FUN VACAY!

This is the awesome-est thing I did in the duration of our Semestral Break (Just like any other vacations anyway. I still did the same regimen, I don’t know why I said awesome-est LOL) :( ) Well, taking pictures/ facing the camera was the thing I was in to this sem break, other than that, well, eating; sleeping; & internet of course; And of course, they said that in everything you do, there’s something you earn, and there something you lose (or so called “opportunity cost” according to our economic teacher LOL) So, what did I earned? So far, I earned extra belly and extra fat under my chin (Unhappy) I lose, nothing hahaha Ayy yes, I lost something. I spent my time sleeping long hours in that unmade bed (this is during day time of course). I could have done something worthwhile other than sleeping. (but it’s okay actually LOL)

I keep on asking myself why I love lazy days when classes are ongoing and how I hate lazy days during vacation (like summer & sem break but Christmas break is an exemption). I need an explanation to that.

I envy those who go for an out-of-town travel during vacation. I want to experience that! Even just for once! Just once! (*I don’t mean drama here..) Anyhow, they said always be thankful for every little thing that makes you smile. So I’m still thankful there’s facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter! LOL just kidding. So I’m giving a bundle of thanks to my family, friends and God for placing me in such a beautiful/wonderful/magnificent world. (Seriousness here)

I’m getting out of topic here. So I guess I’ll just end up here! LOL Nonsense! :D

memoirs ..

Published March 10, 2011 by harlimae

The old pictures ever kept in my grand mother’s closet are evidences during my happy and carefree childhood days. I’m always wearing a shy smile. My sister Iris and I often had a tiff when we were little kids but we are good playmates. Our childhood friends were the little kids in the neighborhood. We play games with them after school and every weekend.

Part of my childhood days was the sea. I just wanted to soak myself into the seawater and spending hours there playing with my friends and of course with Iris we are always together then mother will scold us for staying there for so long and we don’t know how to swim yet. Leisure of ours aside from playing was drawing on the sand with a stick, little figures of girls. We’d put on our very best crack to come up a good drawing- simply to see them washed away as dusk sets in.

 

My daily life was sustained by playing and so I got so upset when mother enrolled me to a nursery class. I was bored there but subsequently I get used to it.

The thing that really makes me so excited when I was a child was the coming of another baby. Starting when my mother get pregnant with Hyacienth- my younger sister, I always get so excited for the baby to come. Then I’m waiting when my mother will get pregnant again. It was so silly! But I really like babies at home.

Year 1998, I went to kindergarten at Saint Michael Child Development Center and we were told to draw straight lines, curve lines, and our names by my first teacher Ma’am Linda. At first I find school to be boring I preferred playing with Iris and my friends and I was so jealous that she’s not going to school. But then I made companions, one was Daizyree. She was a cute girl living near the school. Then we became real buddies through Kinder II. I got the first place in the Graduation day and Daizyree was the 2nd honor.

Then I went to Basey I Central Elementary School the year 2001. I’m not that hesitant anymore since few of my classmates were my classmates in Kindergarten. Daizyree and I were still classmates and we made more friends in Elementary. Then I loved school when I entered Grade School. I enjoyed playing games with classmates after classes and my brothers and sisters and our service would get mad because they have to wait and wait for so long only to find out I’m just playing with my friends.

But my life seemed to change when I entered grade school. I put on seriousness to my lessons. I just like the feeling of being called to the stage during the Recognition day to claim my medal and the impression marked in my parent’s faces.

In Grades 5 and 6, I started joining the Pupil Government and School Journalism. I enjoyed being involved with it because we travel and compete to other schools. I really won’t forget those memories.

March 24, 2007 Our Graduation day. I can’t help but be watery eyed as I glance at my friends Kynkyn, Daizyree, Chelsea, and Nataly. I become so close to them and after that day we will not be classmates anymore the next school year.

Through those six years, I have written my name on blue striped pad paper countless times. I’d done more assignments and other school works and projects. I encountered new experiences in life and eventually I learned the concept of learning.

My High School life was at Eastern Visayas State University. It was 60 kilometers away from home and I commute everyday. I had to wake up as early as 4 to arrive school on time.  What a sacrifice.

First year in high school I was still fitting in to the new world I entered. I wandered through the lobby and surveyed the new place and the new faces. I was a mediocre person. But I seriously engage with my studies and being a consecutive honor from first to third year was the fruit of my hardship.

 

I made friends of course. I can’t go to school without companions. I met Regine. She was my BFF in High school. She was cute and so friendly. Then I become close to Wailyn, Danielle and Sheila through Second year. We enjoy our little bonding.

And in third year we made High school clique. People with different personalities united into a group were cool. It was fun being with them. I know destiny lead us to bump with each other!

Then there also came a time when I “thought” I felt this crazy little thing called love in September 16, 2008 my 14th birthday and I also thought it was forever. And when we broke up, so no; it wasn’t forever. Then I met another two guys but they all got the same ending. However they were considered as inspirations of mine.

And now I believe that I grew more, emotionally, socially, and intellectually, during my four years (2001-2011) of high school than during any other period of time thus far.

Bye 2010! Welcome 2011! :D

SUMMARY

The climate change problem is related to changes in the concentration of the greenhouse gases, which trap infrared radiation from the Earth’s surface and thus cause the greenhouse effect. This effect is a natural phenomenon, which helps maintain a stable temperature and climate on Earth. Human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and some industrial processes have led to an increase in greenhouse gases concentration. Consequently, more infrared radiation has been captured in the atmosphere, which causes changes in the air temperature, precipitation patterns, sea-level rise, and melting of glaciers…

The Philippines responded to climate change that is they promoted solid waste management. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is also carried out to recover resources from it. Waste management can involve solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactivedeveloped and developing nations, for urbanrural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator. substances, with different methods and fields of expertise for each. Waste management practices differ for and

Methods of disposal

  • Integrated waste management

Integrated waste management using LCA (life cycle analysis) attempts to offer the most benign options for waste management. For mixed MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) a number of broad studies have indicated that waste administration, then source separation and collection followed by reuse and recycling of the non-organic fraction and energy and compost/fertilizer production of the organic waste fraction via anaerobic digestion to be the favored path.

  • Plasma gasification

·         Landfill

Disposing of waste in a landfill involves burying the waste, and this remains a common practice in most countries. Landfills were often established in abandoned or unused quarries, mining voids or borrow pits. A properly designed and well-managed landfill can be a hygienic and relatively inexpensive method of disposing of waste materials.

·         Recycling

The popular meaning of ‘recycling’ in most developed countries refers to the widespread collection and reuse of everyday waste materials such as empty beverage containers. These are collected and sorted into common types so that the raw materials from which the items are made can be reprocessed into new products. Material for recycling may be collected separately from general waste using dedicated bins and collection vehicles, or sorted directly from mixed waste streams.

ü  Sustainability

The management of waste is a key component in a business’ ability to maintaining ISO14001 accreditations. Companies are encouraged to improve their environmental efficiencies each year. One way to do this is by improving a company’s waste management with a new recycling service. (Such as recycling: glass, food waste, paper and cardboard, plastic bottles etc.)

CONCLUSIONS

With that seminar, I conclude that making a change starts from each of us. We started it and there’s no other thing that can help us but we have to stand in our own feet to make things go back to what it had been before..

These tragedies happen for a cause and as a result to human activities. Its for us to work now and make a change.

RECOMENDATIONS

As a student, there are many ways you can do to help our environment. Start giving a hand to any programs regarding the problem in school and in the community.

In school:

ü  Recycling Programs

ü  Proper Waste Segregation

ü  Proper waste disposal

In the community:

ü  Clean and green Program

ü  Recycling Program

ü  Proper waste disposal

It’s never too late. We could still preserve and conserve Mother Earth.

Proposed Project Template

Title of the Project: Waste Segregation Project

Objectives:

This project aims to;

ü  Help the school utility in segregating wastes and garbage.

ü  To make the other students know how to segregate wastes and hoe it is important.

1. Be able to make an analysis on the effects of surplus and deficit in the demand and supply of goods in the market.

Some products are marketed most effectively by direct sale from manufacturer to consumer. Among these are durable equipment such as computers, office equipment, industrial machinery and supplies, and consumer specialties such as vacuum cleaners and life insurance. The direct marketing of products such as cosmetics and household needs is very important. Formerly common “door to door products,” these are now usually sold by the more sophisticated “house party” technique.

Of all the forces affecting modern marketing, perhaps none is more important than globalization. Since the 1980s, technological advances such as global telephone and computer networks have reduced geographic and even cultural distance. As a result, companies can now buy supplies and produce and sell goods in countries far from their home offices. Products conceived in one country are now being manufactured and then sold in many others. For example, Sony (Japan), Nestlé (Switzerland), Bic (France), and Volkswagen (Germany) have become household words around the world.

2. How can the problems of shortage and surplus be addressed.

Labor costs have become unwieldy and unpredictable in this expanding economy, where workers are in hot demand and the talent pool is drying up. Finding and competing for employees without allowing the budget to implode requires companies to weld human resources (HR) strategy to overall financial strategy. As the war for talent escalates, companies are using innovative and often untested methods to fill job vacancies. Finance executives need to be at the forefront of these efforts to ensure that they pay off.

3. How will you describe the market when price control and price support exist?

Price controls are governmental impositions on the prices charged for goods and services in a market, usually intended to maintain the affordability of staple foods and goods, and to prevent price gouging during shortages, or, alternately, to insure an income for providers of certain goods. There are two primary forms of price control, a price ceiling, the maximum price that can be charged, and a price floor, the minimum price that can be charged.

Price support may be either a subsidy or a price control, both with the intended effect of keeping the market price of a good higher than the competitive equilibrium level.

4. If you are a policy maker, what will be your foremost consideration, the claims of the producer or the consumer? Why?

Of course the claim of the consumer, because it is the consumer who buys the products or good. There is no use of the product if there would be no consumer who’ll patronize it..

the world’s ending : ice or fire??

Published September 26, 2010 by harlimae

If the world is about to end in fire or ice I’d rather choose the world to end

in ice. Though it’s true that both situations are so awful and terrible, to end

the world in ice is my pick. Because if my ending would end in ice together

with other creatures on Earth, everything will just frost and turn into ice. All

are still in place and the previous lives that existed could still be seen and still

evident. While in a blazing fire, everything will turn into ashes, surroundings

will be dim, obscure, and full of shadows.


Dying in ice, of course you’ll suffer the freezing temperature and your body

will start to ice over but at least you know that you’ll just be there in place

and frozen. But to die in flames, you’ll endure all the pain while the fire

contaminates the different parts of your body. Your hair, though how shiny it

is, your beautiful face, your body, no matter how slender your figure is, its so

terrible that you’ll just turn into ashes. Although I don’t have that kind of

looks and figure I don’t want to be on that kind of horrible situation that is

why I choose dying in ice than fire. : P

Life is like a tough battle..

A battle with challenge to meet,

struggle to accept,

and an adventure to dare.

Life is life; like a battle, fight for it!

Love is as wonderful as a rainbow…

A rainbow, colorful as it is.

It shows different tinges and shades

of unexplainable feelings between two people.

Growing up is like a blooming flower…

To grow a flower;

it takes effort, labor, struggle

and intense care as it grows to bloom..

Christmas is like a candy…

That every little child wants.

And worth waiting for to have..

Documentary Research(research group activity)

Published September 23, 2010 by harlimae

Documentary research

Documentary research involves the use of texts and documents as source materials: government publications , newspapers , certificates , census publications , novels , film and video , paintings , personal photographs , diaries and innumerable other written, visual and pictorial sources in paper, electronic, or other `hard copy’ form. Along with surveys and ethnography , Documentary research is one of the three major types of social research and arguably has been the most widely used of the three throughout the history of sociology and other social sciences. It has been the principal method – indeed, sometimes the only one – for leading sociologists.

Documentary research is the use of outside sources to support the viewpoint or argument of an academic work. The process of Documentary research often involves some or all of conceptualising, using and assessing documents. The analysis of the documents in Documentary research would be either quantitative or qualitative analysis (or both). [Balihar, Sanghera] The process is utilized in most academic work (in fact, most high school and certainly college level courses would insist on references in academic work) in supporting the academic prose of the writer.

A documentary is any video or film that informs viewers about a topic or issue. Many documentary films provide us with educational information. Others just describe certain people. Many people think making a documentary is easy. However, making a documentary is not as easy as it seems. Follow this tutorial for some tips on creating your own, good documentary film.

Steps in making a good documentary film

1. Do some research. Even if you know your topic well, still do research. You can use the Internet and the library to find information. Also, talk to people who know about or are interested in your subject. Once you have a general topic you are interested in, try to narrow it down. If you are interested in cars, figure out what specifically interests you. Brainstorm ideas and take lots of notes. For example, narrow down a documentary about cars to one about a group of people who work on classic cars and gather to show them off and talk about them. A number of things that you might include in your documentary would be:

//

  • Interviews
  • Recordings of events as they happen
  • Pictures, drawings and/or documents (If you decide to use other people’s work in your piece, such as videos, pictures or sound recordings, you must be sure to get permission to use them before you add them to your documentary)

2. Interview people. Get interviews from people who have knowledge of or are interested in your topic. If you get many interviews you will have a more diverse and interesting piece. Be sure to take notes and film the interview. Let’s get back to a car example. Let’s say the topic for the documentary is “The History of Cars”. You might want to interview your grandfather about basic car stuff (how they were designed when he was a kid, how do they work now, etc…). Then, look for people with specific knowledge about the history of automobiles and interview them. Ask all kinds of questions.

3. Organize all the parts in an order that is interesting and fun, but that will also make sense to the viewers. In our car history example, we would start off with who built the first automobile and what that car looked like, people’s reaction to automobiles at that time. Then, we would go through the changes to automobiles and people’s attitudes about them through time to the present day. The end of the piece might be something that ties the information together in an interesting way, or a great comment from an interview. Remember, the story is what is interesting, not dates or rote facts.

4. Show your movie to someone, like your parents, or a friend. Make sure you ask them to review your movie and give you some critique. According to what they tell you, go back to editing and fix what needs to be fixed, even if that means reshooting footage or adding new scenes. After you edit the piece, repeat reviewing process, and if the reviews are positive, distribute your film.

5. Make a Website’ to spread the word. The New York Times claims that viewers, after seeing a documentary, usually go to documentary websites to take action and check facts, so make sure your website does.
