Reflection in this pandemic (CoVid19)
Remember the world before and compare it to the world now. How was your life before and your life now?
The world has changed that much. My life and your life have changed too. The way we think and the way we live. So, how will we then can cope with this pandemic? What then will happen to us once the vaccine is far available from now?
Covid19 has totally changed a lot to us- our lifestyle, our education, our livelihood, and even our views. Can we coexist with it? Or shall we become extinct?
The secret to writing
There is no secret to writing. It is a skill innate for people who have the will to learn and the power to express. Your will determines your advocacies, your aspirations, and your mission. It drives the inner you to put your dreams to words and influence the universe of your own truth. It can hit the heads of many but more importantly is it can touch the hearts of even a few. This now ignites the fire which started from within you and can turn things to realities your you wants to see from the world.
The brain, the heart, the hands
*“From the brain, the heart, to the hands, this model reflects the teacher in me; this shows my belief that everything starts when the mind works first; this reveals my intimacy to what I do and my attachment to what I desire to convey; and this brings out the words to the real me, to the real world, and to the real life I want to love. This is my model; and even the feet are not in it, the brain, the heart, and the hands are what I have to live in all walks of life.”*
Problems in motivating a reader
Many teachers think of a motivated reader as a student who is having fun while reading. This may be true, but there are many forms of motivation that might not be related to fun and excitement. What we mean by motivation are the values, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding reading for an individual. Some productive values and beliefs may lead to excitement, yet other values may lead to determined hard work.
Turbine
The hydropower or hydroelectricity captures the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
Turbines and generators capture and convert that energy into electricity, which is then fed into the electrical grid. According to Environmental Protection Agency, the water itself is not reduced or used up in the process, and because it is an endless, constantly recharging system, hydropower is defined as a renewable energy. This means that the source, which provides the energy, can be renewed. This is because, unlike non-renewable energy sources such as crude oil, we will not run out of water fully. It can be renewed after we have used it for energy generation.
The impulse turbine generally uses the velocity of the water to move the runner and discharges to atmospheric pressure. The water stream hits each bucket on the runner. There is no suction on the down side of the turbine, and the water flows out the bottom of the turbine housing after hitting the runner. An impulse turbine is generally suitable for high head, low flow applications.
Water Waste
Every second, there is a lot of water that are wasted. Waste water comes from living processes like bathing, toilet flushing, laundry and dishwashing. Some water that people consumed or used are usually drains in bodies of water and it will cause water pollution. Water waste is one of the causes of water pollution. According to Republic Act No. 9275 or The Philippine Clean Water Act states that an act providing for a comprehensive water quality management and for other purposes. Use of the environment or any element or segment thereof conducive to public or private welfare, safety and health; and shall include, but not be limited to, the use of water for domestic, municipal, irrigation, power generation, fisheries, livestock raising, industrial, recreational and other purposes. Use of water for domestic purposes it means the utilization of water for drinking, washing, bathing, cooking or other household needs, home gardens and watering of lawns or domestic animals.
Duyan
Duyan
Sa ilalim ng puno
Na dating nalilim
Ng sampalok sa tabi;
Halik ng sinag
Tagos sa dahon ng abukado
Sabay sa himig
Ng awit ng ibong tanaw;
Dampi
Ng simoy ng hangin
Sa pisngi;
Patak
Ng butil ng tubig
Mula langit-
Alalang nangungulila.
Siyang nasa larawan
Di kukupas.
Nananabik
Sa yakap
Niyang mahal.
As the sun sets
You were my sunshine.
Just you were.
Who made me smile
Who cheered me
Who loved me.
But now you are not.
You are my sunset.
Who says goodbye
Who keeps me a memory
In your heart.
But no worry
As you are now
My sunset
Who goes beyond
The horizon
My future hopes
That you will be my sunshine again.
