Reflection#7: Fruits and Vegetables

July 27-30, 2009

This week, my classmates were the one who discussed about the fruits and vegetables. It's the students turn to shine! After the fruit group discussed about fruits, the next day we had our cooking demo. Using fruits, we cook a food which is not needed to be refrigerated nor with the use of baking. And I really enjoyed it. I realized it's fun to cook with my classmates, but next time I hope the food we will make tastes good because I admit, I didn't like the food we made. Just what our teacher commented, it's not sweet.

The next day, vegetable group discussed. I've learned about the classifications of vegetables and I just realized na may classification pala sila, kala ko pare-pareho lang [ako kasi kain lang ng kain, basta gulay, yun na yun]. I also learned that some foods are classified as either fruit or vegetable.

Reflection#6: Nutrients and Journey to Kitchen

July 13-15 & 20-23, 2009

Last exam week, we discussed about the nutrients that we get from the foods we take. After discussing, I have reflected that we should not just eat and eat until we feel full. Instead, we should also know what nutrient we are getting from the food we are eating and we should have a well-balanced meal. It's because if you feel that you are full, it doesn't mean you are already healthy, especially if you only eat junk foods. Which matters most is how much nutrient you get. Remember, the junk foods are called junk because they are useless. So take the word "junk" literally and be concious on the foods you are taking.

Then last week, we discussed about the utensils and equipments inside the kitchen. Yeah, this topic is quite embarrassing for our section because we don't know much about the names of the utensils. We discussed it already since grade school but I think most of us are forgetful that's why we didn't know the other terms of the utensils. But then we actively participate naman. Also, we are fast learners [wushuu!]. As a result, I'm happy that we had our "journey to kitchen" because if we hadn't, we might not be allowed to use the laboratory for our cooking.. From now on, I'll keep in mind already the names of the utensils so that for the next time we discussed it again, it will not be embarrassing ever again!

Reflection#5: Common Problems

July 5-9, 2009

This week, we discussed about the common problems of the teenagers. I admit, some really moves me. Just like the separation of parents or family problems.

It really makes me cry just to hear the words "parents" and "separation". Even the separation of my parents is a years passed. I actually lied to my friends (maybe last Wednesday when some of my classmates started to cry because of their problems) that I am not already affected of their separation. Inside of me, my heart still bleeds. Napaka lungkot kaya na isipin, na yung mga classmates mo kumpleto yung family nila. Tapos ikaw, kapag tinanung ka nila, nasan daddy mo? nasan mommy mo? Kapag tinanung yung mommy ko, may maisasagot ako, kasi nasa ibang bansa sya. Eh, yung daddy ko, nasa Pilipinas naman sya pero di ko naman kasama. Kaya kahit anung gawin ko, nalulungkot pa rin ako..

At lalo pang masakit dun, pareho pa silang may "friend". Kaya lang yung "friend" ng mommy ko, wala na sila nung nakaraang months lang. At yun ay dahil sa akin. Actually, it's not really my fault.. I am just very open to my feelings. I say what I mean, I mean what I say. Kaya alam nung "friend" ng mommy ko na ayaw ko sa kanya. Pero nagkaroon ng problema between sa kanilang dalawa ni mama, kaya na-realize ni mama na I am right. So, di ko gaanung kasalanan yun kung naging tama ako.

I accept naman yung separation of my parents but will there be no other chance to solve the problem between my mom and my dad to make thing goes right and to live again together?

Even Maám Giron said that it's a years passed, even she said that it's better because I have naman two houses to live in, it's still different. Iba pa rin ang complete family. Iba pa rin ang home. But I am not saying that our teacher is wrong, she has a point. And I know that she only means to that is, I should not let the separation of my parents affect me so much.

If there is really no chance to reunite my family, I understand. But still, I am not loosing hope and I am always including in my prayers to reunite my family and live happy. Because I believe nothing's impossible..

Reflection#4: Commoners

June 29-July 2, 2009

This week,we discussed the importance of having relationships with others. First, I've learned that it is important to have a relationship with others because it is the way we discover our true selves. We are knowing our attitude and not just attitude, instead, we are also knowing our strong points and weak points.


Second, we also discussed the top three commoners that we are having relationship with-parents or family, peers, and community. During our stage, I agree that our relationship with our parents is not so good. It's because the conflicts or problems are commonly happening between a parent and a child who's on his adolescent period. And because of the lack of time together, the parents quite not know more about their child's attitude. So, peers are there-the one who knows us, teenagers, more. Aside from the time we spent together in school that makes our relationship tighter, we are also much more comfortable to talk to each other than our parents because we are way the same. And the last from the top, the community. The community is important because it provides safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

Last, we also discussed friends-how to make friends and how to keep friends. Yes, we should choose our friends. We should be friends with the one that has a good characteristics. The one that would not let you down. The one that will accept you as who you are. And we can keep our friends if we are the same. If we have a good characteristics. If we would not let him or her down. And if we accept him or her as who he or she is. It's just like the golden rule right?

As I reflected, I want to change something. I want to change the fact that peers are better to talk about your feelings than your parents or family. I want to let you know that parents are still your parents. Even time lacks for your bond, you should still be closer to them than your peers. Because they are the one who knows you since birth. You know why I want to let you know about that? Because you really don't know what will happen next to your life story.. So Try to be open to your parents-your family. Don't wait for the unhappy story of your life..

It's too late nung narealize ko na kailangan ko ang advices nila kesa sa barkada.. kung kelang hiwalay na.. saka ko lang sila hinahanap-hanap..

Reflection#3: More About Me

June 22-25, 2009

This week, we continued talking about the changes we are experiencing right now during adolescence period. We made a group activity wherein each group will discuss about each attitude that might be experiencing during this stage. I was on the first group which discussed about self-conciousness, lucky, it's just easy..heheh.

After all the presentation, I realized that each attitude is really possible to happen during this stage. I admit, one of those attitudes is being experienced by me but that's just before. As what I have said to my last post, I already accept myself. Also, I already realized that no matter how I look, there are still a lot of people accepts me and by that, I like myself as how they like me.

Ma'am Giron also presented a music video of Reflection by Christina Aguillera which was used by the cartoon movie, Mulan. It really touched my heart. You know why? It's because I can relate to the message of the mv. There is something I can see to myself that only me sees it. There is a part of me that only me knows it. There is a thing inside of me that I can't even burst out of me. And that is my talent.

Since I was still young, I really love dancing but when I transferred here in my school, SMCB, as a grade four student, I hid my talent. And this past few days, I realized that I should not hide it. You know how I realized it? It's because one time, when I am having fun with my best friend, I shared something to her and that is a dance step. She said, " I never seen you dancing! Anu nangyari sau?" It hurts me so much, kasi siya na best friend ko, di alam kung anu talent ko. My talent is now an embarrassing thing to do. I know it's my fault because I am not showing the real me but isn't it my friend is the one who didn't even get to know me better?

But now, it's not a big deal anymore. Because, I'll just try to let her feel that there is something inside of me that she doesn't know yet. I'll try to share my "hidden" talent as far as I can so that I can be me as who I want to be.

To make this short, don't ever use "mask" because it's better that others know you as who you really are than they know you as who you're really not.
