Inconvenient truth

Global warming...
Trully our environment as time passes by turns to wreck. Smoke here and there. STRONG TYPHOONS AND CALAMITIES hitting every nation. If we will not start to protect our environment these threats may happen sooner than we expect it to happen. We never know if we will not start doing it. It is scary seeing these types of calamities hitting our country and others' country as well. Let's help one another in saving our environment. ^-^\/

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished”
Well, let me reminisce the past... Now I remeber... The most challenging thing I have ever accomplished as of now is when I graduated from highschool and got an award from A.Y. It is an award for disciplined students. I can say that this is my most challenging thing I have ever accomplished becausev I've undergone through alot of interviews and juries.

Tenth meeting:Dealing With Negative Peer Pressure

1. Cite one experience wherein you have experienced negative peer pressure.
-I've experience negative peer pressure so many times. One example is when I was in 2nd year. It was the end of the school year and my friends in the higher level have graduated that's why they held a small party in their home. I was invited to come so I did. It was evening then they decided to make the party alot more fun since they are already entering college. They decided to drink alcohol beverage. It was the gin pomelo. They have produced 1 liter of pitcher. They are drinking and I was just watching. They convinced me to join them. I joined because I thought they would get angry with me and they would think na wala nga akong pakisama kung di ko yun gagawin. So I joined them I got drunk that time and I was brought home very dizzy. I was lucky my mom was already asleep(it was late midnight when they brought me home.) so she didn't find out. After that experience I never ever tried drinking lcohol beverage again.
2. How did you react to it? Why?
-I joined because I thought they would get angry with me and they would think na wala nga akong pakisama kung di ko yun gagawin.
3. How did you feel about your reaction/decision?
-I felt bad because I know I was doing a wrong thing because I am still young that time and I drink alcohol.
4. What have you learned/realized from your experience?
-I've learned that if you know that what your doing is bad don't do it even if your friends are doing it. wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it. Right is right even if no one is doing it.

Eighth Meeting: Honesty

I chose the challenge of telling the truth and even if I'm not challenged I will always choose to do it. Telling the truth is gaining the trust of the people around you. When you are honest to them they will trust you with no hesitations. They will also respect you and even be your close friends. Honesty is a very important characteristic that a person must have, that's why I'm doing my very best to obtain such trait. Being honest is hard but it is a great feeling whenever you do it. It's like leaving your life freely, no things to hide and open to everything. It's good... ^-^\/

Seventh Meeting: Respect for Health and Environment

Reviewing my personal health assessment, I can say that I'm doing good and the4re is nothing wrong in me. I'm proud to say that I don't smoke and I would never ever smoke... My grandfather died because he is a heavy smoker and it damaged his lungs. Another thing is that I know it will not do any good to me. I am healthy because I observe a healthy diet and try to exercise my body through playing basketball every afternoon. I plan to continue these stuffs so that I will be physically and mentally fit.

6th meeting

I was not able to wach the movie that we are supposed to view because I don't know the schedule that is why I don't know how to answer the questions... argh... -.-#... But I'm hoping I could watch it so that I got something to say... another thing is that we don't have classes las friday that's why we're not able to have our 6th meeting... hahaha! ^-^\/
