Blog entry no. 5( the acts of peace and kindness I could do as a gift)

* What are the acts of peace and kindness you could do as a gift?

All of us want "PEACE". And for that, we do all things to achieve it. For me, peace is already achieve when you respect, understand, accept the opinion, and attitude of others. Try to adapt also their own environment just like the Muslims, they adapt with our environment in order to understand us. And also when we have unity, we do have peace. If all the people will be united in one reason and purpose, there's no need to war and battle to achieve the peace that all we want. So, as an act we should respect each other and understand the differences.
Being a kind is a good characteristics that person may had. And for me, kind person is no need to wait for the exchange of what he/she do. Only God will pay for their kindness. So, if other people will ask on me for help, I will help them as long as I can do it with my own effort and in a good way. Doing a simple things or helping other people is showing also a kindness. So, big things or small things that you do to others as a favor is a good help for your spiritual feeling because helping others is your own happiness that you choose to have. Therefore, as a gift, I will be kind to others whom ask and need for my help so that I will achieve so much joy and happiness that worth to achieve.

* What are the things you do at home or work to trash waste at school or home?

The things that I've been doing to trash waste are to separate it from a non-biodegradable to biodegradable and I was aware on how or where to put the garbage in a right place. When speaking about garbage, in our school we strictly aware of our garbage and now we are aware of it because their are program that being implement that says "There's no collection of garbage if there's no segregation". So, all the students of Lupon Vocational High School are aware on how to trash their garbage. In our home, we do have a compose pit, where all the biodegradable garbage like leaves will going to put there and sometimes we also use it as a fertilizer for our plants. And for the non-biodegradable, we just make sure that the en-charge person or "BASURERO" will get the garbage to throw or trash it in the right place. And for the plastic and recycle materials, there's also a place where to put them. Trash garbage properly is important so that we cannot get or achieve the disadvantages of a garbage that doesn't separate or segregate properly. Therefore, as summary, we should use the 3R which is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Blog entry no. 1(the people and events that influenced me most throughout my life)

* Who are people or events that influenced you most throughout your life?

I was influenced with my parents and my friends but throughout my life, my parents has a greatest influenced with me because in every time, I will reminisce all my experiences and struggles as a young lady or as a simple girl, they always keep on touch with me. Even though how busy they are, they always gave time and effort to care with us. They always showing what is right and wrong. They also teach me on how to be a good person. And they influence me in terms of our religion that keep me strong and have faith with our savior whom God. They open my eyes as I can't see the darkness of my soul. So, our being christian is one of the greatest influence that they do with me. They one of the reason why I decided to be "baptist" so when I was being "baptist" on January 23, 2010 (born in spiritual); I see the light of peace and its keep my eyes opened with the greatest things that had been created of God. That event was the greatest influenced throughout my life because now, I assure that I've been so different with my past life. And also my friends influenced me in the way that I found a happiness and enjoyment with their company as a teenager. They also one of the reason why I still want to be a teenager forever because I want to go back with the things that we've done and feel the life of being a young. They also teach me on how to understand, accept and adapt the different attitudes and differences of being a human. They are my achievements that I never neglected because I was feel complete with their present.

As I can See It( Virginity for Money?)

When we tackle a very sensitive talk about "SEX", we also talk about the virginity of a women. And for us girls, its so hard to talk about it...
As I read the article of NZ student accepts $32,000 bid for virginity, I feel so shock because I never expect that their is someone who will sale her body into the strangers in order to get money in the purpose of her personal needs. But also I feel so sorry for her because she lost a very important thing which symbolize to the dignity and can be proud of with the girls and with the future husband which is being virgin until the stage of married came. But nowadays, being virgin is not a big deal for some other girls because as I can see it in our generation, they easily lost it due to their too much curiosity and also lack of financial needs so some of them will become prostitute as they lifetime work. But I'm sure they don't want that kind of work but some of them who are lack in education will stay in that job if that is be called a "JOB"?!. They just do that thing in order to survive the poverty they belong!! They do that in order to pay their debts, tuition and so on and so fort... They think that their is no other solution of it and they never think for any consequences. It maybe led them in pregnancy. And some of them will be pregnant but sad to say, they never plan it so they will come up in a very immortal decision which is "ABORTION".
As I can see it, even you have a billion money, being virgin will never go back if you lost it already.. It will be a longtime and I'm sure you will gonna regret if you lost it at the wrong time!
All we know that for sailing your body or being a prostitute is not a good solution with your financial problem. As it is an immortal sin with God and it can destroy your good future. It is a good privileged to our husband if we are still virgin when we get married. So, as a youth! I can say that "Take care of our decision and don't let our mind work for the curiosity of "SEX". Let it happen in the right time and the right person.
For those people who did a wrong decision and lost their virginity, let them our lesson and as possible don't do or follow their wrong decision because I'm sure they will never want that somebody will follow their wrong path of their life!And always remember that their is always a solution with our problem. Like the bible said in Luke 1:37, for with God nothing is impossible.

What I've learned in Islam, Ramadan and Hajj!?

I've learned that Muslims is did not believe in celebrating birthdays of death anniversaries. And also they have their Ramadan that very important to them because their year will not be complete without celebrating the said Ramadan. They celebrate it on the ninth month of the year. They also have the Hajj which is the pilgrimage on Mecca. All the rich Muslims that can afford are willing to joined the celebration. Mecca is the holy place of the Muslims. In this activity, I learned a lot of information about Muslims such as the components of Islam, the major religious events and the five pillars of faith. For them all the religious festivals have their own significant. The important prayer for them is the Salat. And lastly, I learned that Muslims believe in only one God, they called it ALLAH and also they have their Qur'an. According to my Muslim classmates it is the continuation of the Holy Bible.
