Learning is essential

Education is very important, actually we usually hear this phrase from our parents. But taking the task to learn takes a lot of sacrifices, a long hour of study, dedication and perspiration. Take my word on this “in all things you may not take everything for granted”. I find studying very hard yet exciting, why I said so is simply because studying is full of challenge. Once you get it right you feel comfortable, with honor. Some students don’t even really know what is studying is. They simply go to school and if they passed the subject, it’s done. Well, to tell you frankly, life is a continues learning. Learning doesn’t stop at school, once you acquire the knowledge you must learn to put all things up on application, on how you gonna use them for example.

I remember during my college years, one subject that really giving me pain is math. I mean, all math subjects. I put it on reverse psychology thing, I made that subject my favorite. Eventually I learned, actually Math help me to even further understand my other subjects. Back then I was thinking that all Math problems are like a mind torture thing, like those Math word problems and Algebra word problems. Sometimes during an examination, I’m wishing that I have a magic pen that writes all Math answers on the questionnaires. And even wondering about having an Algebra help genie.

Well, the key here is study hard, give a lot of dedication and remember everything because you might need them someday.

Quality movies

Television viewing gets a little bit boring sometimes, I myself find it that way. I’m not against on television station owners, they have the right to make income out of continues promoting such as commercials. When you watch a show, there is an interval for commercials. Well, that is how it used to be because what are we watching are free to air programs. Sometimes there is so much commercials that they have to cut some scenes on that particular movie or show, and I find it difficult to understand the story on the movie.

Sometimes I wander, what if there is a service for television that you can watch a whole movie without commercials. Something like a Direct TV Service that gets signal direct from a satellite. My friend and I were talking about this yesterday, and he said that it’s a great idea to have something like a Direct TV feed. A Directv Service that’s very affordable for all. Not only you can watch a whole movie but also you can get a lot of shows to choose from. I wish I had service like this, in that way I can simply relax and enjoy watching a whole movie without the hustle of viewing to much commercials.

A Family thing

This morning when I was on my way to work, I saw this lady taking her twins out on the park. This twins are so cute in their tandem strollers, these are strollers with double seats so you can put two babies at the same time. At the park, it looks like it’s a babies day out. There are lot of babies out there, aging from nine months to one year old, I think. Some babies would ride this jogging strollers, the one with three wheel easy to maneuver strollers. Some would rather just walk around to exercise their babies. There’s also a lot of games, created for these babies to have some fun. You can see on those babies eyes the joy and happiness.

After a couple more steps, I saw this banner. Then I realized that it was a party given by our honorable Mayor. Well, he is also there with his one year old daughter. And also there is his wife, busy managing the programs. The Mayor’s family are well respected in our hometown. You can see them in these kind of events, like promoting child health, organizing programs such as this and all sorts of things that can contribute to promote family unity.

Promote green living

One of the things that alarm us now is the heavy pollution on our surroundings. We do admit that all the pollution on our environment are due to abuse of mankind to the environment. Are you bothered that what you are drinking aren’t pure? Back then, you can drink on running waters like on river for example. But now, try to drink on that river and surely you will get ill. Even on our own tap water, you can’t even guarantee that what comes out there is safe, unless you will put some device that will filter down the impurities like an adsorption filter. Some would rather distill their water for it to be drinkable.

How about the air that we breathe, it is pretty obvious. Look around you, can you see those black smoke? Those are pollutants, and they are very deadly. I guess we need a very big compressed air filter to clean this mess. Somehow, man had develop a way to destroy it’s own nature. I’m not against on anyone, I’m just commenting on these matters. Maybe if we can get some conscience here, then we can get establish our goal to promote green living. How it’s nice to drink a pure water, to breathe a clean air and to live on a clean environment. Whatever, the bottom line is nowadays our environment is getting weaker.

Me, the music lover

I’ve been an avid fan of music. Actually I play the guitar on our band, it’s a metal band. We play all sorts of metal music like progressive, industrial, nu, doom, death, etc. Almost all kinds of metal music. One time we audition on a contest, then luckily we are selected. We were surprised, because there were a lot of bands coming from different genres who join the audition. We are not that good, we just play music and jam together like we are having fun. And that’s what music is, having fun. But we didn’t won the contest, but it is so cool being on a stage with lots of those metal dudes watching you and jamming along with your song. That was fantastic.

Of all the musical instruments, I like the guitar. I don’t know why, all I know is I enjoy playing it. I remember back then, I practice my guitar playing almost all day just to learn a riff of a single song. But also, I want to learn other instruments like the drums and keyboard for example. I think it’s kinda cool if you know many instruments, but it would take you a hard time doing those multitask. But nonetheless, I would be able to manage those things, I hope. I’m still on the process, so stick around, I’ll be posting if there’s an improvement.

For babies only

I used to drove around the city whenever I get bored, like strolling around. One time, I saw this car with weird looking thing inside it. I was curious I looked at it closely, then I realized that it was just a booster seat. Those things nowadays are really look so good. Back then, I was only sitting on a wooden sit made by my grandfather whenever my father is taking me for a ride. Babies of today are very lucky, they get a chance to enjoy of what technology made for them.

I remember my nephew when he was only a child. His mother used to have this baby carrier and he’d be inserted there. Wherever his mother go, he always there strapped around his mother. It’s a good thing that people even thought of that, not only you can always see your baby but also you can do other work at the same time. And when he began learning how to walk, there is his baby walker. His mother won’t have a hard time teaching him how to walk. It’s cute when I see my nephew roaming around the house with his walker, his smile, it’s like telling you that he is learning to walk and he is happy.

Few of the things made possible by technology, how creative. How I wish that all the things are created for good use.
