We study the semantics of some blog of foreign blogger and local blogger. We compare how they used the words and concepts of their post. The language condition of local blogger are basically Filipino or Tagalog as their national language, and English as their second language. While the foreign blogger is using the English language as their first language.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Some researcher says about the language condition of Filipino:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(128, 64, 64); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span">Virtually everyone agrees that media -print, radio, and television (and now, cyberspace) has had a profound influence on people, especially on their language. The Filipino spoken today, especially by the<br />young (35 years old and below) is undeniably distinctive, to use a loose term, and may have been so influenced by media to a greater extent. This Filipino is spoken by a significant segment of the population and it warrants a linguistic inquiry. Selected articles from Filipino tabloids and dailies, scholarly papers from the University of the Philippines Press, candid and structured interviews of college students, television news, sitcoms and talk shows, and radio programs in Metro Manila are some of the culled sources for the Filipino words, phrase, or sentences found in this study. Filipino, Tagalog, and Cebuano words are arrayed for cognate purposes, with English juxtaposed as a meta- or reference language.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(128, 64, 64); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>METHODOLOGY</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">We choose some of the top foreign blogger and local blogger.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Foreign Blogger:</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">1.

We studied their blog, from its title to its profile and statements, and words use in their post and their meaning.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">A. The first Blog is from David, the title of his blog is "The Rest Is Still Unwritten" which means he still have some ideas who haven't written yet. There are two words in this title which describes the meaning of this phrase. The first word is "Rest" which is noun (T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">he part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of a verb, the object of a preposition, or an appositive.). </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Second word is <i>"unwritten" </i>which is adjective (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence), </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; ">root word "<i>written" </i>which is also an adjective and past participle of "<i>write" </i>which is verb. Therefore, the word "Rest" is the objective or subject of the word "unwritten" which is an adjective that describes the noun word "Rest". And this phrase is grammatically correct.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">here is one of David's post, it is entitled "Understanding Blame".</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; color: rgb(240, 103, 11); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><a href="http://diamondkt.blogspot.com/2011/10/understanding-blame.html" style="color: rgb(240, 103, 11); text-decoration: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Understanding Blame</a></h3><div class="post-body entry-content"><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; ">For someone who often <a href="http://diamondkt.blogspot.com/2010/07/when-you-hate-your-own-writing.html" style="color: rgb(240, 103, 11); text-decoration: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; ">hates his own writing</a>, I felt it was one of my better pieces to date.

The same could be said for blame.</p></div></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">We studied the semantics of his post phrases by phrases.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">1. For someone who often hates his own writing,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">- The word "own" used is adjective because it describes the word "writing" which is a noun that has a root word "write" which is a verb. Therefore, the two words "own writing" is define as "the written work is belong to someone". The Phrase means that someone often hates his written work.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">2. I felt it was one of my better pieces to date.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 17px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">- The word "pieces" is noun, and the words "to date" is also a noun. The "pieces" as a noun means a literary work and the words "to date" as a noun means time or to schedule.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">3. So I wanted to write a second piece about Anger's close cousin - Blame.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">- The word "wanted" is verb which means 'a strong desires', the word "Anger" is noun which means 'a strong feeling of displeasure', the word "close" is adjective which means 'being near in relationship', the word "cousin" is noun which means 'relative by blood' and lastly the word "blame" is noun which means 'being responsible for a fault or error'. Therefore the group of words "Anger's close cousin - Blame" means that the Anger and Blame is relatively the same in some ways or similar in some ways.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">- Here, we can see that the blogger uses some of idiomatic words like "close cousin" which he can also use this simple term 'same class'.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>B.

ARAYAT (ARAYAT TRAIL)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Arayat, Pampanga</span><br />Major jump off: Arayat National Park, Brgy. Bano, Arayat<br />LLA: 15.20° N 120.742° E, 1030 MASL<br />Days required / Hours to summit: 1 day / 4 hours<br />Specs: Minor climb, Difficulty 3/9, Trail class 3<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; ">BACKGROUND</span><br />The legendary Mt. Arayat rises like a solitary giant over the central plains of Luzon. Long before it drew the attention of hikers, it was already popular in myth. It was said to be dwelling-place of the Kapampangan sun god, Sinukuan. Writer Alex Castro, in "Views from the Pampang", narrates the story: "[Sinukuan] was supposedly imprisoned in a cave sealed with a "white rock" visible on the mountainside." He was engaged on an epic battle with his rival, Apung Pinatubu, who "hurled stones" at Sinukuan. Perhaps this is actually a recollection of Pinatubo's pre-Hispanic eruption, over 600 years ago?<br /><br />The next legend about Arayat is about Mariang Sinukuan, counterpart of the Tagalogs' Mariang Makiling. In some accounts she was Mariang Makiling's sister, and like her, she was a mountain dweller with fairy-like powers. She was the subject of songs and poems until the present time. Finally, Mt. Arayat is sacred to Rizalistas, who, Castro writes, "gather every December to honor the national hero in quiet ceremonies. The cult was brought to Arayat by the late Apo or Mahal na Inang Birhen Sinukuan in 1947, acknowledged as Rizal's female incarnation."<br /><br />Thus, whether as a mountain of myth or a towering landmark, Kapampangans take pride in Mt. Arayat. During the 1970s, Mt. Arayat National Park was built - complete with natural pools, picnic areas, and the mountain trail that leads to Arayat's Peak 1. Although the National Park has degenerated into a local resort, it is still the jump-off for Arayat's Peak 1. This peak has a spectacular viewdeck, where you can behold seemingly all of Central Luzon. Pampanga river meanders like a snake across the rice fields; the mountains of Zambales and Bataan come into view; so Sierra Madre on the opposite side.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Peak 2 can be accessed from Magalang, Pampanga. In either trails, the 'balding' of the mountain is evidenced by the intense heat of the sun. Still, some forests survive and therein, monkeys continue to roam free. You can hear their calls along the last leg of the trail. There are also sightings of wild boar, local civet (musang), and native birds. A separate article for this trail is under construction.<br /><br />NPA scare continues to scare hikers from climbing Arayat, but there is now military presence in the trails, and the last pockets of NPA resistance were subjugated in 2002. Thus Arayat remains one of the most exciting hiking destinations in Luzon.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; ">ITINERARY</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; ">VIA ARAYAT NATIONAL PARK</span><br />0500 At Monumento, take bus to Arayat, Pampanga (P120)<br />0730 ETA Arayat Pampanga. (If private vehicle, take San Simon exit at NLEX)<br />0800 ETA Arayat National Park; regiser and negotiate (P100 + guide)<br />0830 Start trek<br />1200 ETA peak campsite; lunch. You may explore the viewdeck<br />1300 Start descent<br />1530 ETA National Park; bathe at the natural pools<br />1600 Head back to Manila or to Angeles City for sidetrips<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; ">SPECIAL CONCERNS</span><br />The Arayat N.P. trail has unfortunately gained notoriety for 'extortionist' locals who overcharge everything from entrance to guide fees. In addition they'll even ask for a barangay fee and a parking fee. If you wish to hike Arayat via this route, anticipate these already. The guide fee is P400-500 and don't accept anything higher than that. These charges make an Arayat trip more expensive than it should be. Even then, it is still worth climbing.<br /><br />Flies, mosquitoes, and other insects abound in Arayat; Off lotion is a must. Also, 50% of the time the trails have no tree cover. The itinerary above is for a daytrip but Arayat is also a good overnight destination. The peak itself is the suitable campsite, with wide spaces for tents and ample shade. At night don't forget to guard or tent-in your belongings as monkeys might take them away.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; ">TRIVIA</span><br />Many foreigners climb Mt. Arayat -- and they pay extra. For locals, a guide fee of P500 would suffice, but for foreigners, the guides demand P1,500-P2,000.</span></div>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-85707188533903658882011-10-14T18:26:00.000-07:002011-10-14T18:31:05.332-07:00SPEECH: Debate<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(251, 251, 251); "><h3 style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.5em; font-style: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.86em; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: normal; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); letter-spacing: -0.6pt; ">The Implementation Of The K+12 Systems In The Philippines</h3>The Effects of Broken Homes Among <br />Early Teenagers to their <br />Academic Performance<br /><br />A Research Paper Presented to<br />Dr. Bienvanido Nepomuceno<br />Mapúa Institute of Technology<br /><br />In partial fulfillment<br />Of the requirements in<br />Sociology<br />(SS11-A4)<br /><br />by:<br />Jonathan M. Nartates<br /><br />March 2011<br /><br />Abstract<br />K+12 educational systems are the additional years to secondary level. This research contains some information about the curriculum of K+12. Interview, books and newspaper were the researchers’ major instrument in gathering information and was augmented with other data collected through readings.Studies cited by the researchers have also shown that the country’s education program is equivalent to the 12-year education cycle followed abroad except that it is being completed in only 10 years. The respondents of this research are the high school students who will experience the implement of K+12 educational systems. These researches analyze and study what will be the effects of the K+12 educational systems to the country, parents, and students. The K+12 plan will cost an estimated annual investment of P30 billion over five years. This amount will increase the Department of Education share of the national budget from about 12 percent to 14 percent. But the Department of Education had received as much as 18 percent of the budget before. Countries considered poorer than the Philippines invest in K+12 for their children. Filipino children deserve no less.<br /><br />Introduction<br />Rep. Raymond Palatino, a member of Kabataan Party list said: The new system would translate to added burden to parents who could barely send their children to school. For povertystricken country such as ours, the proposal to add two years to basic education is a question of survival.<br /><br />This K+12 will need more allowance to implement this program. Then the parents need to work harder for them to support the studies of their children.

Findings and Recommendation after the invention</span><br /><br />We find out that this child is really intelligent, if only the parents and companion of the child can give extra time to teach him and let him explore learning, this child will be great. This child is really motivated in learning especially if he knows that other people recognize his work and give him a reward like candies and stars.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Recommendations:</span><br /><br />We observe that sometimes he have a hard time remembering some of the letters. He have trouble learning visually, so we suggest that they need to be guided through any lessons with charts, diagrams, graphs, or other visual learning materials. For example, the teacher may need to tell him how different parts of a diagram relate to each other and why.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Reflections</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,clean,sans-serif;font-size:13px;" ></span><br /><br />We have learned that it is not easy to teach a four year old child. Since they are in cognitive years, we, the teachers should teach him properly and step by step because the children cannot acquire all at the time, it should be one at the time. But, we're proud that, even it is just a short period of time, we gain his ability when it comes in writing and reading.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-20458097405022074782011-10-11T14:58:00.000-07:002011-10-11T15:34:05.010-07:00Wricorp: Memo Report<div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;">HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY<br />Sto. Rosario, Angeles City<br /></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Date: September 12, 2011</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">To: The Second Assistant Manager</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">From: Edlyn O. Retucsan</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Christal H. Zapata</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Subject: Reducing Customer Complaint Everyday</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> In the interview, you informed us that one of your main problem is customer complaint which you experience it almost everyday. Since your company is a franchise fast food chain, it is hard to have a customer complaint, your business might breakdown.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:sans-serif;" >While it's understandable that you will have customer complaints from time to time, that doesn't mean you can't do anything to try to prevent them. Most customers complain not because something bad happened, but because they feel like you could have done more to prevent it. By taking some time to prevent bad things from happening as well as practicing damage control once they do, you can reduce those complaints into the single digits – and that means your business is going to succeed even more.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So, here are some possible solution that we recommend to reduce customer complaint:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1. Check your business</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2. Set Feedback box for customer</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">3. First thing to do is apologize first</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">4. Second thing to do is explain later</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">5. Fix the problem Immediately</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">6. Thank the people for their comments and complaint</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:sans-serif;" ><b>Check Your Business</b><br /> <br /> From time to time, you need to go into your branch as though you were a customer yourself. This will help you to see what is and what is not working for your company – and what may need to be changed. By taking time to look at your business, you will often find that things are different from what you see from your end. Go through the entire area and make sure everything is under control and that you're presenting the best case for your business.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Set Feedback Box For Customer</span><br /> <br /> By creating a box for customers to complain or simply to give comments, you will encourage customers to let you know things that are problematic before they turn into complaints. You might want to leave an email that's just for complaints or you might want to have a forum upon which customers can review their experiences. Of course, you will need to read these pieces often and respond to them immediately to be sure that customers can tell that you're listening.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">First Thing To Do Is Apologize First...</span><br /> <br /> Instead of immediately explaining what went wrong during a transaction, you should apologize first. So often, customers simply feel like you don't care about them when something goes wrong – but when you apologize, you are admitting that it was your fault. It's such a simply thing, but it can help to immediately soften the tone of your customer and allow for you to make reparations.<br /> <br /> <b>Second Thing To Do Is Explain Later</b><br /> <br /> At the same time, you should explain to the customer exactly what went wrong. Try not to include any excuses, but rather talk to them about what happened from your end of the transaction. Stick with the facts of what happened and point out where things went wrong. This will show that you care about the transaction and that you have clear reference points from which to change the issues so they don't occur again. In addition, when you explaining what went wrong, give the customer a chance to tell you whether you are 'getting' what they saw as being wrong.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fix The Problem</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Immediately</span><br /> <br /> The first thing you need to do when someone complains is fix the problem. If something wasn't delivered quickly, find a way to get it to them as quickly as possible. If something was served, but it wasn't the right thing, make sure to send the right thing. Fix whatever the problem was immediately and then offer a discount or something free in exchange if you can.<br /> <br /> <b>Thank People for their Comments and Complaints</b><br /> <br /> While this sounds like an off tactic, when you (as a business) take time out of your schedule to thank a customer for bringing a problem to your attention, you allow them to be a part of the solution. This shows that you understand their part in the process and how valuable the customer really is. Just be sure to thank them at some point of the process in order to showcase their value to you.<br /> <br /> People are much less likely to complain when they feel their opinion and their comments really make a difference.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Summary</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1. The Manager should monitor their area from time to time to see if there is a problem, so that it will fix first before the customer will complaint.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2. </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:sans-serif;" >By creating a box for customers to complain or simply to give comments, you will encourage customers to let you know things that are problematic before they turn into complaints.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">3. Before explaining you should apologize first. </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:sans-serif;" >When you apologize, you are admitting that it was your fault. It can help you feel the customer that they are important and that you are willing to help them with their complain.<br /><br />4. </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:sans-serif;" >At the same time, you should explain to the customer exactly what went wrong.

They need the Buddha's head back for the drought to end and good luck to return to the village.</p> <p>George keeps working shady deals, with he and Muay Lek working a scam at a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baccarat" title="Baccarat">baccarat</a> game in an illegal casino. Eventually, the scams catch up with him, and the drug dealer shows up to give George a beating. Ting ignores George's cries for help, but when the drug dealer starts smacking Muay Lek around, Ting takes care of things. But then the drug dealer's friends and the cheated casino boss show up and a footchase through the alleys ensues. Ting helps George escape in exchange for his assistance in helping to find Don.</p> <p>That night, there is another fight at the bar. Ting is egged on by Big Bear, a vulgar <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian" title="Australian" class="mw-redirect">Australian</a> fighter. At first, Big Bear attempts to provoke a fight with Ting by insulting Thai people. But after Big Bear beats another Thai man and assaults a waitress, Ting takes up the fight and easily beats the hulking man. He then must fight Toshiro, a very fast and flexible Japanese fighter. His final opponent is Mad Dog, another <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farang" title="Farang">farang</a>, who favors the use of such objects as chairs and tables to fight with. The fight takes them up to Komtuan's private booth. Komtuan hands Mad Dog a knife, but Ting quickly disarms him and then throws Mad Dog out of the viewing booth's glass right back onto the battle area. An <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African" title="African" class="mw-redirect">African</a> man steps into the ring to throw a coin at Ting's feet and at the same time, he gives Ting a thumbs up. This starts loud cheering from everyone who's just seen the fight go on. They also throw coins at Ting, much to the delight of George and Muay Lek.</p> <p>Muay Lek, meanwhile, has been struggling to keep her older sister Ngek from using drugs. Ngek has fallen in with Don. On the bed, Ngek, following her sister's advice, says she wants to quit drugs. Don, in his anger violently suffocates her and stuffs her mouth with drugs. Muay Lek shows up at Don's apartment with George and Ting to find her struggling sister overdosed and near death. George and Ting take off and chase the boyfriend in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuk-tuk" title="Tuk-tuk" class="mw-redirect">tuk-tuks</a>, with several of Don's men joining in. The tuk-tuks take to an elevated expressway, and the scene climaxes with many tuk-tuks driving off the edge of an unfinished portion of the highway.</p> <p>Ting follows the bad guys and ends up at the port and in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chao_Phraya_River" title="Chao Phraya River">Chao Phraya River</a>, where he discovers a cache of stolen Buddha images. This leads back to the gangster Komtuan, who makes Ting fight one of his bodyguards who is a Burmese boxer and has been treating himself with drugs, making him full of rage and impervious to pain. Ting painfully loses the fight to meet Komtuan's demand for him to throw the fight in exchange for Ong-Bak's head. The following day, George, Ting and Muay Lek are kidnapped by Komtuan's henchmen. After Komtuan leaves and orders the henchmen to kill the three, Ting attacks the men with the assistance of George.</p> <p>Ting and George follow the gangsters into a cave in a mountain, where the head of a giant Buddha image is being chiseled away. There is a final showdown, with Ting fighting off all of Komtuan's henchmen with George, who tries his hardest to fight them, but is still beaten badly. Komtuan's bodyguard injects himself with several shots of drugs at one time and attacks Ting. The bodyguard is defeated and seemingly killed by Ting. Komtuan then shoots Ting and attempts to crush Ong-Bak's head with a sledgehammer. George covers Ong-Bak's head with his body, taking the beatings from the sledgehammer to save Ong-Bak's head. At that moment, the giant Buddha head falls over, crushing Komtuan to death while George almost rolls away from its path, but he is crushed underneath. Although crushed from the head, Ting and Muay hear his last wish, for Muay Lek to graduate school and for Ting to look after her.</p> <p>The head of the Ong-Bak Buddha statue is restored in the temple of Ting's village. Ting, now ordained as a monk with shaven head and white robes, arrives into the village in a procession on an elephant's back while the villagers and Muay Lek celebrate his ordination.</p><p>----------------------</p><div class="blockquote"><div class="quote">'Ong' refers to the Buddha Image of this village<br /><br />'Bak' (verb) or 'Roi Bak' (noun) means scar or mark from being cut by sharp weapons: knife or sword.<br /><br />The person with clear mark from this kind of weapon on the face could be called 'Khon Nhar Bak', this case the Buddha Image is called 'Ong Bak'.<br /><br />There is a big scar or Roi Bak on the face of Buddha Image <a href="http://www.winonlyriders.net/thelostforum/cinema/OngBak.jpg" class="bbc_url" title="External link" rel="nofollow external">http://www.winonlyri...nema/OngBak.jpg</a><br /><br />From the legend of this village, this Buddha Image was plundered from the village by Burmese soldiers during the ancient war between Thailand and Burma.

Rosario, Angeles City<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Date: October 06, 2011<br /><br />To: The President<br /><br />From: Edlyn O. Retucsan<br /> Christal H. Zapata<br /><br />Subject: Solving The Unsigned And Lost Beadle Form<br /><br /> Recently, our professor informed us that an unsigned and lost beadle form of some professors was causing it to experience deducting salary of them. Since this new rule was implemented in our university it was causing some problem to some professors and beadle students.<br /><br /> The beadle form that signed by the professor is today's salary basis. So if the professor missed to signed the beadle or if the beadle form was lost, the number of hours of teaching that indicate in the beadle form will be deducted to them. But sometimes it is not the fault of the teacher, my partner and I observed that some beadle students forgetting to pass the beadle form inside the beadle box. Some of them, pass the beadle form a day or a week after the professor signed the beadle. And instead of questioning the students, they questioning the professor.<br /><br />So, here are some possible solution that we recommend to lessen the incident of unsigned and lost beadle form:<br /><br />1. The professor should signed it on time.<br />2. The student should pass it on time.<br />3. The professor should have the rights to pass their beadle form after signing.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The professor should signed it on time</span><br /><br />Upon entering the class, the assign beadle should approach immediately the professor to sign the beadle form or the professor should approach the assign beadle to sign it right a away. If ever the professor refuse to sign it or told his student "later, I will sign it", the assign beadle should not allow the professor, because it may cause of forgetting to sign the beadle after the class.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The student should pass it on time</span><br /><br /> The assign beadle should be responsible on passing the beadle form of their professor. To avoid the possibility of losing the beadle form. And to avoid of deducting the salary of the professor. And the professor can do reminding their student beadle to pass the B form.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The professor should have the rights to pass their beadle form after signing</span><br /><br />We also recommend that it is more advisable if the professor itself who will be the one who will pass the beadle instead of the beadle student. If the only problem is not passing the beadle on time, why don't they let the professor pass their own B form.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Summary</span><br /><br />1. The professor should signed their beadle form right away, to avoid missed signed B form.<br /><br />2. The student should pass the beadle form right away so that they wont forget to pass it.<br /><br />3. The professor should have the rights to pass their beadle form after signing to avoid missed placing or to lost the B form.<br /></div></div>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-20786327953722966672011-09-26T17:47:00.001-07:002011-09-26T17:47:47.249-07:00I AM AN EDUCATOR.<div>One of my principles in life is to become educator. This is my desire, which comes from deep within my heart to become a teacher. Actully, I am not an education major in holy angel university. But I am an English major which I can also teach in the future. I want to bring the education not only to those who can afford it but also to those who can't afford it. Who is them? The lower class citizens: POOR.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am an educator, today, tomorrow and forever. I am an educator of life. Some people are born teachers while others acquire the skill. Teaching is really an art, art of learning, art of teaching, and art of changing.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is an art of learning, which while teaching, I am also able to learn from my lesson and also from my lovely students. I can see my self in the future that everyday, upon entering in my classroom you will find a lively and colorful completely centered upon children and active learning.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is an art of teaching, the job of teacher is to teach almost everything about learning. As an english major, my job is to teach the first language and literature. I have to teach and convey the information to the students in various ways so that the english language has a strong emphasis.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is an art of changes, Is isn't it "childrens are the future" and as an educator it is my duty to bring them the education. Whithout education and knowledge how can an ordinary children change our world? That is the job of a teacher. To encourage the students to increase and improve their abilities, attitudes, and potential knowledge that is essential for a better foundation.</div><div><br /></div><div>By learning.. it is the beginning of changing.</div>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-70776790551911679212011-08-30T15:30:00.000-07:002011-08-30T19:00:04.486-07:00Sample Autobiography, I wrote this for her :)<span class="Apple-style-span">I have a simple philosophy: "Life is very short and what we have to do must be done today." I live a simple yet meaningful life<span class="Apple-style-span">, I have bad and good experience in life, I have regrets and compliments; With secrets and desires. My life is full of random events; with uncertain and certain things in air. I am crystal but not clear: I hate procrastinating things, but sometimes I am procrastinator. Since, Life is full of duties and events that no matter what you work on you are not working on everything else, I am not working on everything else. Yes, life is so short and I dis-valued it before but when the worst tragic things came in the life of my family, that it is the beginning of changing everything in every way in every day of my life.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The birth of Stone: Christal</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">My name is Christal H. Zapata. I was born in Mother Perpetual Hospital in Calapan,Oriental Mindoro. I was born at 10:15 in the morning, August 6, year 1991. I am 20 years old, I am the youngest daughter of Rosie Zapata and Florentino Zapata. We are just two: My eldest brother is Christopher Zapata. Since, my mom is fond of Chrystal stone and gems stone, where she get our names: Christopher, a long term for Chrystal and Chrystal, the finest stone turn to Christal, my finest name.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">When I was three months old my parents decided to go abroad and they left us with my Auntie who lived in the province of Pampanga. I am already five years old when my mom came back. And my dad came back when I was nine years old. Because of their hard work and determination during their time in abroad, and because of the money they have gain from the sweat of their hard work, they can able to provide the needs that we need. They invested an apartment in Balibago, where we live. And the money from that apartment is the main source of our income in every day needs.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The Childhood days: Day care and Elementary</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I am five years old when my parents decided to take me out of the house and introduced the reality of life. I was five years old when I studied Kinder at the school near our house. I was so careless during that day, and I am always involved in classroom-fight because of the crayons. What a funny part of my childhood days. Then when I was six years old, I studied elementary in Sto. Rosario Elementary School in Angeles. I am fond of joining extra curricular activity during my elementary years. I joined volleyball and badminton during that time. But the life of elementary students are not that hard yet challenging because I am just a child headed girl and I am confuse if I will just play or I will focus in school seriously. Isn't it during that time, we are so immature and we don't think of what will happen next after doing something or after delaying something that is important to do. And after six years struggling in elementary, I graduated and finish my elementary year 2004.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The HAU: Building my Self</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I entered Holy Angel University a month after I graduated in Elementary. And I am not yet ready for the next level of learning. But then, like what others saying, the life of High school is meaningful and colorful. I met a lot of people with different personality: My classroom mate, my buddies of friends, my teacher and also those strangers who walked across my way. Different kind of people in one university, different people who owned different attitude and personality. But despite of our differences, I met a lot of friends who helped me to build my self. The teachers also involved in building my personality. When I was first year, I joined an event, where the students are free to participate in the classroom's competition. And, when I was second year, I joined a choir. But later on, when I became third year, my motivation in joining and participating in school activity became less. Maybe because, Many vises are getting nearer and nearer with me. And, when I step to fourth year high school, it was the year where I cannot decide for my future. After taking the NAT, and the result is pro-visionary, a sort of regret is snap my face. Maybe because I did not study well and it resulted into a lower average or maybe because the course that I am planning to take up is not my desire course.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The HAU: The result of</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">After graduating High school. I take up BS Nursing at the same school that I attended in High School: The Holy Angel University. I studied nursing because my parents want me to take it. I've follow the wants of my parents. I studied well and I also insist to passed it. Unfortunately, I did not passed and it only last for one year. After not passing the struggled life of nursing, I decided to take up BS Psychology. In CASE Department, I enjoy the company of Psychs students and also the company of my peer. I met a lot of people who keep on motivating me to study well and to stay in Psych. But being psychology major, it is not that easy task. I also studied well when I was still taking the Psychology but I guess that course is not really for me. I abandoned psychology and I am now gaining my knowledge in studying AB English together with my friend "Badang", Like the other course that I have take before, Ab English is not easy but I am getting used to it. Since, I have a lot of friends who motivated me well, and a teachers who also motivated me. And I guess, this course will be my last and final course.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The Worst Scenario</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Before the year of 2011 came, a worst scenario came first in the life of my family. One person who influenced and motivated me since I was a child was gone. It was December 30 in the morning when my dad complained his stomach and we runned him in Garcia Hospital. After the diagnose, the doctor said that it might be a tumor cancer. And he was 24 hours critical within that day. December 31, when the doctor said that he is already stabled. When we heard that news, my mom decided to let me go home and take a rest. Then, December 31, 7:30 in the evening, my mom called me and said the news that my dad is already gone. Until now, I can't move on from this scenario. I lose my dad and we don't know how to start again a life without him. We really miss him but we have to move on. This year, I am still studying, and I promised to him that I will study well and finish my college as a reward to his love and hard work for us. Yes, Life is so short and what we have to do must done today, just today.</span></div>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-71984377648855095922011-08-04T18:58:00.000-07:002011-08-04T20:50:02.005-07:00LIDIA: Kambal VersionLIDIA ni Juan Crisostomo Soto<div><br /></div><div>Isinalin sa Tagalog at binigyang buhay ni Edlyn Retucsan :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Narrator: Sa bayan ng pampanga, mayroong kambal na dalaga.

When children enter the upper grades unable to read proficiently, their academic performance rapidly spirals down-ward. Without effective intervention, struggling upper-grade readers are likely to experience frustration and failure as they move into middle school and beyond. Shira Lubliner, studied how she can help those students having a hard time when it comes to reading comprehension, She come up with some of the theories and solution of the problem of most of her students.<div><br /></div><div>Children sometimes master the mechanics of early reading in the primary grades but fail to inter grate decoding and comprehension processes. They also develop the habit of skipping words and skimming the surface of the text. these ineffective reading habits result to the reading failure in upper-grade students: Lack of fluency, limited background knowledge, lack of memory, lack of ability to draw inferences and vocabulary deficits. Shira Lubliner focuses to her three struggling readers or students: Janis, was identified as struggling reader due to her poor work and obvious frustration. John, was identified as struggling reader when he failed a social studies test after he had worked hard and tried to studies the material in the book. and lastly, David, also was identified as struggling reader.</div><div><br /></div><div>The solution: Janis, John and David participated in a wide variety of literacy activities with the rest of fifth-grade class. Thematically, related instruction was designed to help children acquire back-ground knowledge that would strengthen comprehension of the literature and textbook. First, the intervention model, this strategy is based on the cognitive strategy research. Theories have identified cognitive strategies as the tools that children use to manage the information processing system. The four reciprocal teaching: Questioning, clarifying, summarizing and predicting. But in this four reciprocal, the questioning generation convinced her that this was the powerful and practical strategy that could provide her struggling readers with the help they needed. Second, self-generated, main-idea questioning, She found that a specific idea of a text was an essential component of many successful interventions. When student were taught to generate the main-idea questions they were forced to comprehend as they read. The reason why this method is effective in improving children's reading comprehension is that it helps children manage the complex series of information processing tasks involved in proficient reading. Third, She design an instructional sequence, it was based on a questioning Cue Card. She uses the picture on the book cover to activate the students' background knowledge and to spark their interest in reading. This instructional sequence continue with additional modeling by the teacher, responses by the students and coaching the students as they attempt to generate their own main-idea questions. And lastly, Implementing the intervention, Shira worked with Janis, John and David by using the intervention strategy. Using grade level texts for a reading comprehension intervention helps to prepare struggling readers for successful participation in whole-class instruction.</div><div><br /></div><div>After reading and criticizing the whole journal I come up with the one solution: The teachers have to wait for natural processes of acquisition to take place before they can help the learner. Learners cannot learn a feature which is further than the subject's developmental stage. In the case of Janis, John and David they should learned and practiced the reading skills in their earlier years of school but unfortunately they don not have strong foundation. But like what journalist said in her final word, when primary reading instruction falls short, it is not too late to provide a powerful reading intervention to children who entered the upper grades without adequate reading comprehension skills. With a rich literacy environment (not just only the teachers but also the classmates, buddies, and parents can help the struggling students) with an emphasis on vocabulary acquisition, and instruction in multiple cognitive strategies an likely to be the help to struggling readers.</div>edxaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235967242201686730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422098714763326158.post-61640397021479206972011-07-28T04:18:00.000-07:002011-07-28T04:20:31.268-07:0072 Hours Life-Learning Experience<div>http://youtu.be/P5qsdW71FdM</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; ">Find out what happens when struggles defeated your faith and when death's taking away all your hope.

Baagg! Baagg! Ate!” sigaw ni JayR, Hay nako! nagising na naman ako sa lakas ng kalabog ng pinto, eto na naman si JayR papasok na at kailangan ng baon. Dahan dahan kong binuksan ang pinto at iniabot ang Bente Pesos na baon niya. Pagkaabot ng pera, dali dali na siyang bumaba sa hagdan at tuluyan ng lumabas ng bahay. At ako naman, dali dali na namang lumapit sa aking pinakamamahal na kama.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">“Len! Kain na! bumaba ka na diyan at tayo’y kakain na!”, bigla akong nagising ulit, kakain na daw. Bumangon ako ulit at dahan dahan kong ibinaba ang aking mga paa sa hagdan, medyo pikit pa ang mata ko sa kabila, at may muta pa na katabi sa kaliwa. Habang ako’y pababa ng sala, hindi ko mapaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko. Rinig na rinig ko ang pabulong na pulso ng aking dibdib at unti unting bumibilis habang ako’y unti unting napapalapit sa unang palapag ng aming bahay. Pag tungtong ng aking kaliwang paa sa unang palapag, dali dali kong inilingon ang aking ulo sa pinaroroonan ng aming hapag kainan. Pag lingon ko sa mesa, biglang tumigil ang mabilis na pulso ng aking dibdib at natawa nalamang ako sa aking sarili. “Naku! Sa kabilang bahay pala yon”. Nakalimutan ko na naman, kame lang palang dalawa ng aking kapatid sa bahay.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ilang buwan narin akong ganito, nakakarinig ng tinig ng Ina sa kalapit na bahay, habang isinisigaw ang pangalan ng kanilang anak. Hinahanap hanap ko parin ang ganoong eksena sa buhay ko. Hinahanap hanap ko ang pagkaing inihain ni Mama sa mesa, ang kaluskos ng tambo sa sala, mga amoy ng bagong sinampay na damit sa harap ng bintana, mga tugtugin ng Aegis na paulit ulit na parang sirang plaka, at mga sermon na madalas na nakakarindi sa tenga.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">Walong buwan na simula nung huli ko siyang nakasama, walong buwan ko na rin syang hindi nakakakwentohan, walong buwan na mula ng huli ko siyang mayakap at mahalikan.

Sana naman.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ganun pa man, sanay na ako sa ganitong pahina ng araw ko. Tutal lumaki naman ako na hindi siya nakakapiling, maraming taon na rin na madalas wala siya sa aming siping. Ilang “Merry Christmas at Happy New Year” na nga rin siyang absent eh, buti nalang last year nakahabol pa siya sa Noche Buena at putukan ng mga paputok sa labas ng pinto. Pero okay lang yon, tulad ng sabi ko kanina, SANAY NA KO.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ngunit kahit wala si mama, walang masasakit na salita mula sakin ang kaniyang narinig. Walang pangungunsensya at pangingising lumabas sa aking labi. Naiintindihan ko kung bakit wala siya sa ngayon, marahil wala siyang choice kundi ang umalis. Naiintindihan ko kung bakit madalas, hindi siya nakakatawag sa amin, marahil siguro wala siyang pambili ng card para pang tawag. Naiintindihan ko kung baki’t minsan hindi manlang siya makapag padala ng allowance sa bahay. Naiintindihan ko kung minsan praning siyang magsalita sa akin, nag iisa nga naman akong babae, tapos mabubuntis pa? “Hahaha.. naniniwala pa rin siya sa mga hula ng iba”. Naiintindihan ko rin kung baki’t hindi siya nakauwi nung birth day ko, imbis na ipang uwi niya ang natitira niyang pera, ipinadala nalamang niya dito upang pang handa.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; "><span class="Apple-style-span">May 10, 2010, 18</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span">th</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span"> Birthday ko na.

Maya maya pa may biglang nagsalita sa Mic, “Happy Birthday anak! Oh 18</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span">th</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span"> kana matanda ka na, pero maliit pa rin, hehe. Huwag ka sanang magtatampo kay Mama ah? Alam mo namang ginagawa ko lahat ng ito para sainyo.” Pahinto hintong pagbati ni Mama. “Opo ma!” sagot ko naman. Maya maya nag salita na naman siya “Kung may magagawa lang ako anak, mas gusto ko na kasama ko nalang kayo, huwag mong pababayaan ang pag-aaral mo huh.. Huwag ka munang mag-aasawa.” “Opo ma” sagot ko ulit. “Oh Glenn huwag mo munang kukunin saken si Edlyn ah. Kahit panganay yan, bunso ko yan! Huwag mo muna siyang kukunin ah.. Hayaan mo munang makasama ko pa siya ng matagal” at unti unti na ngang naluha si mama, dinig ng lahat ang kaniyang pag luha, dinig ng lahat ang kaniyang pagkalungkot at pagkasabik na makasama kameng lahat. “Pasensiya na anak, ikaw nahihirapan diyan, hayaan mo pag may pera uuwi na ko diyan! Hindi ko madalas sabihin saiyo to.. pero Mahal na mahal kita, mahal na mahal ko kayo ng mga kapatid mo!” at unti unti na siyang humagulgol. Yun ang kauna unahang iyak na aking narinig kay mama, marunong pala siyang umiyak, pusong mamon din pala siya. Maya maya pa’y inulit niya ang huli niyang sinabi.. “Mahal na mahal ko kayo ng mga kapatid mo!” at biglang.. “toot.. toot.. toot..”. Tawag lang pala yon. Akala ko andito siya. Pero ayos lang, at least nung araw ng kaarawan ko, narinig ko naman ang tinig ni Mama, hindi yung tinig ng Inay sa kabila, kundi yung tinig ni Mama, yung nga.. ang tinig niya.
