Title: It Spells C-O-L-O-R-S

     “We are all equal in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colors and all cultures are distinct & individual. We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don't share blood, but we share the air that keeps us alive. I will not blind myself and say that my black brother is not different from me. I will not blind myself and say that my brown sister is not different from me. But my black brother is he as much as I am me. But my brown sister is she as much as I am me.” 

                                                                                                                                        ― C. JoyBell C.

  

    We know that each color have meanings. It symbolizes something. It has a unique representation of beauty. Like, when our teacher told us, what represents dove, then we will say purity. Why? It is because of its color, white. And if our teacher asks us what represents the color red, then we will say war or love. It depends on the interpreter of the color. We will still say the same thing.

    When I was a kid, they used to give me couloring books which I like to do. For me, it gives life and harmony to the drawing because if I won’t put some colors it is so DULL. And no one will even take notice. I like bonding things because the drawing becomes livelier. For example, I’ll bond the color dark blue to sky blue, red to pink, or black to white. But in the end, it is good, very good, indeed.

   Some says: color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Like, if we see two teenagers wearing red couple shirt, we might think that they are just couple and in love. Or if we see an old man wearing smiles on their lips, we can’t help but smile too. We will think they are like sunshine in the morning.

   What I am trying to say here is that we are DIFFERENT. We are unique in our own way. We have different culture or beliefs in life. We can be black, brown, or mestiza, still if we combined together we will be synchronized. We have different colors. And these colors are needed the most by those people who are dull. I, too, needed it. But these people around me provided these colors.

   Think about it, how many kind of people from around the world are here in the Philippines? Some are from America, England, Africa. You see, we are all different. But we have these connections. Connections that bond us together to live a happy life, to live a colorful one.

   

It's Not Love, It's DOVE

Genre: Crush

Title: It’s not Love, it’s DOVE

    We have different definitions of the word CRUSH when someone asks us what’s the meaning of it. But if we heard it, we will smile, blush, or maybe shout and scream.

    Based on the definition of Google, Crush is Candy Crush. Just kidding. It says that, it is a strong feeling of romantic love for someone that is usually not expressed and does not last a long time. We have different interpretation of how we react to such things. How girls and boys react, when they found out about their feelings?

   Boys/Girls:

·         First they will examine their feelings.

·         They will always go to school very early.

·         If they found out the favorites of their crush, it will became their favorites.

·         They’ll put powder first before entering the classroom or they will put cologne then they’ll make sure he/she will pass by in front or besides their crush. It depends.

·         If their crush is his/her classmate, then he/she will always do his assignments.

·         Then, there’s the glancing thing.

·         If their crushes were talking in front, they will intently listen.

·         They wishes to sit next to his/her crush. .

·         If not, they will wish that they were on the same group.

·         After that, they’ll do the exchange numbers.

·         And then the magic begins.

    I was in first grade when I felt and experienced this childish thing. I thought and I dreamed that someday he will be my husband. You know child imagination. I really did these things, except the exchanging numbers. There was a time I remembered when I was in grade school; my crush was staring at me. Oh gosh, my heart was beating fast and I can’t control it. Then, he was walking straight at me and take note still looking at me. That time, that moment, I thought I was the most beautiful girl and the luckiest girl ever. Unfortunately, I was just dreaming. Like DUH? He was not really looking at me; instead he was looking at my best friend. And that sucks. I know I’m not bitter or something. I just can’t believe it or I just don’t want to believe it. But I moved on. In fact, there was a time when I checked his facebook account and just laugh HARD. I mean, I can’t believe that I had a crush on him. It is just outrageous. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I found out that HE IS NOT MY TYPE. So, I still think that I’m the most beautiful girl and the luckiest one.

     What I’m trying to say is in capital WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME. What you feel now is just a simple crush. A simple admiration for someone you think you can give your whole life. It’s not love, it’s DOVE. I mean you just admired his/her physical appearance. We will know who and which is the right guy for us, we just need to wait for the perfect time.

     

Clash of Clans

Genre: Online Games

Title: Clash of Clans

     People are easy to engage on the online games which are very trendy. It is a game where everyone can play a game by the use of internet.  

     Online Games are very “IN” mostly for the teenagers. They are using this to engross themselves.

      Clash of Clans is an online multiplayer game in which players build a community, train troops, and attack other players to earn gold and elixir, which can be used to build defenses that protect the player from other players' attacks, and to train and upgrade troops. The game also features a pseudo-single player campaign in which the player must attack a series of fortified goblin villages. This game has good and bad effects for students like us.

      Good effects:

·         It gives challenge to your boring life.

·         You will enjoy definitely.

·         You can test your ability and will work your strategies.

·         You will know how to plan.

·         You can make friends who you have in common.

If it has good effects then it also has negative effects, those are:

·         It reduces your quality time to your family and friends.

·         You forgot to do your responsibilities in school and in your house.

·         You forget to bless because after school you have all eyes on your phone or computer.

·         You don’t want to go outside.

·         Because of this, you cannot do your homework/assignments, and your project.

·         You are not talking to anyone because you don’t want to be disturbed.

·         If someone disturbs you, you’ll get angry or get mad.

·         You skipped to eat your food.

·         You are skipping your personal beautification.

·         You’ll have bag eyes, and that would be the worst thing. For me, it’s nightmare.

       As you can see, I have listed numerous bad effects rather than good effects. Why? It is to inform us that it is okay to play games like Clash of Clans but make sure; you still have time for yourself, for your family, for your friends, to your academic and to your health. It is not a sin to enjoy things just make sure we do it for a good cause.

      To tell you frankly, I am one of those people who were “ADDICTED” to this type of games. I already know the consequences of my act but still I continue doing it. I know I am not ignorant. I just can’t help it. If you were me, I know you’d still do the same. BUT if we are old enough to stop it and change it before it is too late, change your life style. We cannot just sit all day. We cannot just do petty things and waste life. We are not created for that. We are beyond that.

     Remember life is too short. We cannot take back the past events that we missed. We cannot return time. We just need to stand up and MAKE A CHANGE. Being happy is not a SIN, but make sure we are happy because we deserves to be.

   

dancing is my PASSION

Genre: Experiences in UDay of QCPU

Title: Dancing is My Passion

        University Day was the day that I’ve been waiting for. Not because I’ll saw new people or there would be some GUYS on that event. But we have surprise or let’s call it a MOB.

        Before the said event the CAA Dance, practiced to give enjoyment for the other student. Well, it is also a part of our activities on our NSTP.

        For others, dancing might be just DANCING. I mean, they are just dancing because they have to or they are dancing because they needed to. But for me, for us, we are dancing because this is our passion. This is what we like to do if we have vacant time. This is what we have in common that’s why we are sticking to each other. This is the reason why we can understand each other. It is because we have the same passion. I am dancing because God gave this talent for me not to be hidden but to show how great He is to give this kind of talent.

       At the day of our University day, no one is expecting that we are going to do such a thing. My co-dancers prepared our speaker then BANG everyone is looking at us. It is amazing. It is overwhelming. Performing in public, performing at crowd places is unforgettable. I mean everyone is looking at us. I saw that they are enjoying our performance. I saw in their eyes the contentment. And I can feel that all the sacrifices are worth it.

       But at the end of the day, we need to remember one thing: We are not performing for them BUT we are performing to give thanks to the Lord. Why? God gave us this talent not to boast it. He did not give this talent to compare it to others. But He gave it to give glorify for Him. He gave it; we will give it back to Him. In everything you will do or you are doing make sure in that simple way we can give thanks to Him. We put Him first in everything we are about to do in the future. Because He is watching.

         As the quote says,” Live for a CAUSE not for APPLAUSE”. Get the point? We are not living just because we wanted to get applause to others or to be praised by them. Because when they got home they won’t remember you, even your name. But if you do it for God, He will always remember you as you remember Him.

        Talents are temporary. Fame is temporary. Money is temporary. Everything in this world is temporary, so why bother treasuring it if it’s not permanent? Why do you keep on making things that in the end you cannot bring it in your next life? Why do you keep on making things that in the end you were not the one who will use it? Why not live for a cause? Why not live for God? Can you do that? Can we give everything to Him? If we do, then all the sacrifices we done in this world will never are USELESS.

501 must-visit destinations

Genre: Travel and Tours

Title: 501 must-visit destinations

        The Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the great man-made wonders of the world, lies like a gigantic dragon, stretching up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains. At more than 2,000 years old, some sections of the Great Wall are understandably in ruins or have disappeared, but it remains one of the most incredible feats of man and its architectural grandeur and historical significance are breathtaking.

          I must say this man-made creation is out of this world. It is one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world. How big is it? The book says the wall covers more than 6,700 km (4,163 mi) from east to west China. And more than 1,800 years they built it. For me it’s incredibly amazing.

         When I was a kid, I used to speculate things. I used to imagine myself touring the whole world.  I used to feel things. So when I first saw the Great Wall on our television it really amazed me. It took my breath away. And it made me think or it made me to question their purpose on why they built it. Then, I have this imagination that maybe they built it so that they can protect their country to those zombie people. You know like, if ever there would be some disease and it is contagious then Chinese people can protect themselves or they can separate the normal people from zombie. Oh well, that’s what a child likes to do. Imagine things where, they are the hero. But I just found out that it is believed that it was originally intended as military fortification against intrusion from the north , but over time grew to become not only a symbol of defense, but also of the great power of the emperor. So it proves that I’m wrong in telling that they built it because of zombie but they built it to symbolize power, which in the old time if you have power, you are GREAT.

          To the uninformed tourist, the wall is just a majestic crumbling feat of man. When taking the strenuous hike through the various sections, it is difficult to comprehend how many men have taken to build this massive structure and how the enormous quantities of stones must have been transported here. Looking out over the spectacular emerald hills and valleys you can sense the history and understand what effort and sacrifice must have taken place to enable the construction of such a massive undertaking.

          If you want to go here like I wanted so badly, it says head 60 km (37 mi) north of Beijing to the Huanghua (Yellow Flower Fortress) section of the wall where there are fewer tourists. But of course, you still need money for you to go there. And since, I cannot afford it at the moment; I needed to imagine things first. Anyway it’s FREE. Although, it is truly one of the most memorable experiences that you will ever have. So come on now, Lets Imagine. I mean let’s see if I am telling the truth.

Words That Stick

 Genre: Books/Movies

Title: Words That Stick

      If you hate to write, this book is for you.

      Right up front, I’m going to admit three things:

1.       I was a semi-lousy student, but learning how to write saved my academic life.

2.       A lot of people say writing is hard. No. Writing is EASY. Singing a solo when you’ve forgotten the words is hard.

3.       Writing should be simple, like choosing a meal at a fast food restaurant.

The thing is I’m not a good writer or I hate to write. I just don’t like it. I think it’s not for me. But this book helps me to be a better writer. It shows me many things.

       Anyway, first you must attract a crowd or your readers. After that, you must keep them entertained long enough to implant ideas in their brain. In order to do that you must know first your readers or your listeners. It says he’ll need to know; the age, gender, Economic status, cultural background, political beliefs, degree of familiarity, expertise and audience aims. In writing an article we must remember that everyone can and will read it. We need to consider their feelings. We need to look in the inside of them. We need to look ourselves to them as a reader. What will be their reaction? What will be their first comment before and after they read your article?

        Why do we need to know all of these? It is because if we don’t know our readers or our audience, they might get hurt or they won’t read your article anymore. In the end, it will be a big disaster. So take note for that.

       Your first sentence or your first paragraph should have a catchy thing that will make your reader sit down on the tool and buy your book or your article. They don’t just look at it or glance at it. The power of the first sentence or two is simply this: It makes every reader ask “What happens next?” or say “Really? Tell me more about it.” It briefly explains what the rest of the article is all about. It all says that if your first paragraph does not convincingly lead to the next paragraph, it should be rewritten.

       I've always thought ending a story was like leaving a party. If I just grab a water or juice and walk out the door, people might wonder what happened. Was I upset? Was there an emergency?

       Therefore, I must first prepare to leave by excusing myself to them, thanking the celebrant and telling my friends goodbye. My exit, then, is part of a natural progression.

       Likewise, ending an article or a report or a theme should sound natural to the reader.  So, that, you can give satisfaction to them in the end. It is your main goal, to give satisfaction. So, that their money is worth it. Not only that, make sure they can relate to your topic. They can agree to you or maybe, disagree. It’s everybody’s commentary. And make sure your words are still in their mind and they still thinking about it.

#Why I'm SINGLE?

Genre: Trend News

Title: #Why I'm Single

      
  You must be wondering why my genre is so not connected to my title which is #Why I'm Single. This is the real catch of my blog. And you have to find out for yourself.

         When I searched the trend news in my gmail account the results are, of course, the usual. The things that happened and happening all around the world. To tell you the truth, I'm not a fan of it. I mean, I do not fancy reading a newspaper or watching news in our television. For me, no offense, it is boring. As in HELLO! I am a teenager. What do you think a teenager like me likes to do? We mostly prefer to watch English movies, to hear music from our iPods or from our radio and to read a Wattpad or romantic books rather than reading a newspaper or perhaps, hanging with my friends. That's what we like to do.

        So I do what I think what's best. I went to my twitter account and this question really catches my attention. It's in the trend list. I guess this is trending for single girls, not only for them it's for everybody, who thinks they are single. A question that makes me think even though I've been avoiding this question for a decade.

       Some says the reason why they are single is because they are busy, they like the person does not like them back, they are waiting for their destiny, their priority is their studies, they are not yet ready, they said God has a plan He is for them or making or writing their love story a happy one. Everyone has their own opinion. Different answers in one question.

        What if someone asks me the same question? Maybe I'll tell them that I am single because I am scared. I am scared to be hurt. I am scared to fall, but no one will catch me in the end. I am scared to leave behind. We are just human. We can sometimes be scared, angry for some point, ashamed when you think you make stupid, and everything.

         But at the end of the day, I asked myself again. And again. Am I really SINGLE? As in single? Then I realized, no, I am not single. Why? Because I'm with my family who always guides me, lifts me up from my mistakes, and tells me it's all right. I have my friends with me who make me laugh and laughs at my jokes crazy. I have my classmates who always asks the same question but I love them just the same. And I have God in my heart who will always tap my shoulder to move forward. That makes me NOT a single person. And THAT makes you not a single person too.

         We are not single as long as we are surrounded with these people who love us. We are never to be a single person unless we put a wall between them. Remember, He will never forsake us.
