Today is my sister’s 15th birthday. I have been thinking of what will be my birthday gift for her since last month. I know if I’ll ask her what she wants, she would ask me to buy everything she loves to collect. So, I come to think what she really needs. I always hear her complaints about her cellphone. She hasn’t use it for five months because it’s signal was lost so she can’t be able to send and receive calls or text messages. So I think I can make her happy if I’ll make her cellphone be repaired so that she can use it. When she knew it, she was very happy and excited. I can see it in her face with a big smile.

Nowadays, the world has become very polluted. We cause air pollution directly through our use of electricity, fuels and transportation. You cannot escape air pollution, not even in your own home. There are two causes of air pollution…by natural and the consumers. The natural causes of air pollution are volcanic eruptions, and forest fires which send smoke, ashes and, gases into the atmosphere. Humans are actually the ones who contribute substantially more to the air pollution problem. The pollution is spread around throughout the world, and as a result, it dangers the health of people and ecosystems. Read the rest of this entry…
As I enrolled to Clinical Laboratory Science course, I became more paranoid about bacterias. Sometimes we don’t realize our actions or lifestyle that we are very exposed to bacteria growth. Then, it’s the common reason why we often get sick. As a student, in our chemistry laboratory class, we tend to forget to follow the basic rules inside. Some students, or even me - I admit it! that we wear our lab gowns many times and not being washed. Unconsciously, it is exposed to our infective tables everyday as we perform our experiments. And after washing the glasswares - like test tubes, beakers, etc., we even use our lab gowns to wipe it dry. Not in our minds that some reagents or chemicals may contaminate in our gowns that we’re wearing. Read the rest of this entry…
A few years ago a friend confided that she made an appointment to have her eyes “worked on.” It was unfair, she complained, but there was nothing else she could do to keep her face looking young. So, just as her personal trainer had helped her sculpt her forty something body into one that many 20-years olds would envy, her cosmetic surgeons in Chicago would do the same for her face. I was stunned. I had never noticed any of the offending flaws, and I begin to think of her as a self-indulgent perfectionist. Now that a few years have passed and I’ve watched my own facial lines sprout and multiply, I’m beginning to understand her feeling of helplessness. While I still believe it’s our attitude about wrinkles that needs major surgery, I’ve often wondered if there’s something safe and simple to do to control the future of my face.
I really enjoyed the Kadayawan Festival last week because I was able to take advantage with the big discounts offered in some stores in Davao City. Moreover, I am not carrying my money with me. But I was able to pay in a very convenient and safest way - plastic money! There are certain banks who renew their offers very often in credit deals. And I am happy with that. I just use my credit card deals for college students last year since I am still studying in college. I was surprised to know that I was able to save much through the rewards given and cash back bonuses. As a student, it is very much needed for me to save money and make budget aside from the personal necessities but most importantly in tuitions. Read the rest of this entry…
