9 - HERO

"What makes someone a hero?" Before I answer let us define first what a hero is. Merriam-Webster states that a hero is a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength. With the definition given is it true that being a hero is only a mythological character? For me it is not, going back to the question, i may say that being a hero is real. And you are going to be considered as a hero if you are this: Someone who is giving help to others in different ways and Someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for his country.

Someone who gives help. I can pretty tell that if you are willing to help other people with all your capabilities, for me you are considered as a hero. Because being a hero is not only in words, it refers upon the act of the person is doing. Now a days it so much hard to find a true hero who is willing to help his fellow country men. Even me, I cannot consider my self as hero because I do not even help others. And of course, if you are helping, the most important thing is that it should be sincere. Do not help others just for the sake that you want to be called a HERO. Examples are some government officials, some just help the people so that they may get famous and got the attention of their fellow citizen. That deed is not consider as a true hero. IT SHOULD BE SINCERE. 

Someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for his country. You may say that it is so dramatic to offer your life to be recognized as a hero. Yes, maybe but that is the point. If you are willing to sacrifice your life you may be the one. Just like the heroes fought for the freedom of our country. Because you also have to recognize your country first. Fighting for the sake of your country is a big achievement that can consider you to be on the list of heroes. 

It takes guts to be a hero. It is hard to find a hero but i know that all people becomes a hero for some time, we just have to continue doing good, not just to become a hero but because it it nice to help others and for our society to grow better. 

8 - 4 Days of Fun

4 Days of Fun

    4 days of Fun, 4 days full of exciting and interesting activities, 4 days of break for Computer Science and Information Technology students. The "SoCSIT Week". One of the most awaited events in school of CSIT because of the fun that it can bring to all CSIT students. With the theme of the activity "BRING IT BACK" my experience for this event happened with a lot of fun and also disappointment.

    Tuesday, July 28,2015, the activity started with the opening. All the teachers in charge of the event were there. Each students feel the hype and the excitement for the activity. It happened in the parking lot. BUT that is just part of the activity that day. Students are required to wear a 90's costume to represent the IT throwback. We had a parade wearing those costume around the parking lot. I admit that its hot wearing those costume but its kind of enjoyable. We also had the banner contest that time where each block was required to have a banner that will represent their block. I am glad to say that we had a beautiful banner with a windows 95 theme. It is beautiful but I don't know if we won in that contest. After those activities the day is done and we are required to go back to our classes.

    The following day, it is about the fame or shame activity. Me and my group mates had to cram about the performance in the said activity. We do not want to got a low grade that may resulted to our shame. And we also know that we had to get a fame to avoid the punishment if someone got a shame. Honestly, I got nervous when I heard about that news. But I think it is an inspiration for us to do better. We came up to a plan that we were going to dance individually and after the individual dance, we will dance together. Me and my group mates had a different songs to dance. Dougie is in charge for me to dance. I don't like it at first because i know it is hard to dance. But when the moment came and we were all in the stage. Excitement replaced nervousness. I felt excited to dance in front of my fellow block mates and of course in front of the judges. Our performance is not that good, I honestly know that but we got a high score and a fame. I was shocked to know that but I am happy as well. I did not finished the whole fame or shame activity and another happy day passed by.

    Thursday, I don't know about all activities that might happen. But I know that there is a sports fest that will happen in the morning and a pageant in the afternoon. I watched the sports fest especially the basketball game because I want to watch my fellow block mates and friends, Jordan and Rene. I want to support them. It is so amazing to watch them. They are really good in playing that sport. But even they are good their opponent is much more expert in playing. They lost with a large margin because for me the game is not even. They are playing with players which is taller than them. But even though they lost I am still proud of them. And also, the pageant were my two other block mates joined and one of them won 1st runner up.

    Friday the last day of the activity I stayed at home. It is the day when SoCSIT night is going to happen. I decided not to go to the party and that caused my little disappointment. I was not able to feel the heat in that party. My block mates were there and I got jealous when I know that the enjoyed a lot. I had to wait another year to be able to join to that party. And I am now currently waiting for that time to happen. I feel the excitement just the same where the four days of just started.

7 - Time Flies so Fast

Its been 1998 since i was born in this world, and now its 2015. Almost 16 years since I started my adventure in this world. I am born to gain knowledge, I am here to experience the beauty of the world. 

Yes definitely the world is so much fun especially when you are kid. I remember th time when me and my friends used to ignore the challenges and the problems in life. We are just a kid playing. I am more enjoying playing rather than studying in schools. I put more time in playing because for me that age it is the beauty of the world.

 But when the day I get to become mature studying is now much a priority. I enter High School and things became too serious. Serious in the sense that you need so much focus to pass your grades but as long as you are doing your job the word fun is always right there. I may consider this part as one of the most memorable. I became different with myself but as time goes I am enjoying it as well.

 And now I am in my college. I want to have fun but I will make sure that I will be a professional someday to help my family. Why do time flies so much fast it looks like I am half way done with my life. My as time goes by I just need to accept that everything is done and complete I just have to grow from it.

 

3 - Sleeping

This blog post will talk about something that students are fond of doing of.  An activity that will make teachers angry but will make students happy during class discussions. An activity that relaxes our body and our soul. It is none other than the most important activity that our body needs for us to grow and for us to have energy. And my topic is about sleeping, with this let me the talking about sleeping.


Based on a science reference I found in the internet, sleep is said to be a behavioral state that is a natural part of every individual’s life. We spend about one-third of our lives asleep. Nonetheless, most of us don’t even know what the importance of sleep is. Sleeping is not an activity to fill our time when we are not doing something. Sleeping is not an activity for us to do when we are in a boring class, but sleeping is a required activity for our mental activities.  Don’t you ever realized that when we have enough sleep we recognize things precisely and accurately? We should have enough sleep for our brain and body to function better, for us to do things with energy and in a faster basis. So when we have extra time we should not focus on playing gadgets or something but we shall put some time for our body to rest. We should not forget to sleep. It is for our own sake.

Before I end my speech, I would like to share to you one fact that might happen due to lack of sleep. When we are experiencing being sleepy because of lack of sleep it can lead us to danger. My reference stated that problem sleepiness can be deadly. Approximately 100,000 automobile crashes each year result from drivers who were “asleep at the wheel.” In a survey of drivers in New York State, approximately 25 percent reported they had fallen asleep at the wheel at some time. Crashes in which the driver falls asleep are especially common among young male drivers.  In addition to the high risk of automobile crashes, problem sleepiness can cause difficulties with learning, memory, thinking, and feelings, which may lead to poor school and work performance and difficulty with relationships.

2 - WHY?

 Teachers often say that a why question is quite hard to answer, you need deeper thinking and context clues to be able to explain a why question. But with clues you can find in the internet or some reference can you answer this?  Why do people always see the darker side?  The negative ones.  Why do people cannot see your achievements instead they are much more focus on your failures? Why is that some people even your relatives do not have the guts to trust you?  Why?  Is the world really not fair?  Why…….

 Those are the question that I think most of us find a hard time to answer. Most of us do not have the intelligence and the experience to explain that. But is it true that the world is really unfair?

In this world, some people would complement you but some would not.  Some people can see your efforts but some cannot. Some would understand you but some would misinterpret you. Some would accept for who you are but some would deny you.

Those are just only of the thousands of inequalities that we might experience each and every day. I kind of feel sad to discover that we are not living in a fair world. And with that I realized that the world is really unfair, until I found and read this statement in the internet:

 “There are countless things that happen in our lives that are unfair, but it’s what we do after that really matters. If we think life is unfair to us all day long, we will start to only see the bad things in life and just generally hate life. It’s much better to think optimistically, to look at the good things instead of the bad”.

With that statement I realized that I feel very sad because I, myself focus more on the irregularities in life rather than special in it. I should have been positive always even there are things that would make me down. And now I learned that I will take those things a learning experience for me to grow. 

1- Me, Myself and I

I am Justin V. Besmano. I live at Bacoor, Cavite, I am 16 years old. I am a proud graduate of Manila Science High School but now I am currently studying my college degree at Asia Pacific College. 

I love playing basketball.  And I think it’s my passion. Every one of us has passion in themselves. We should find our passion for us to be happy and also to change our life. Basketball star Kobe Bryant said that “Passion is the fuel to success.” I am here to tell you about my story in basketball.

I started playing basketball when I was in the First grade. My uncles as well as my cousins like basketball too and I think they are the one who influenced me a lot about this sport. I almost play basketball in my entire life, at least an hour a day. I train to reach my goal, to become one of the best.

Basketball serves an inspiration for me to strive hard in life. and basketball makes my life complete. Without it I think i have no reason to live because it makes me happy. and the only thing that makes a person complete is for him being happy.
