The Importance of our Miniature March 16, 2008

All I can say is that our miniature is full of adventure and excitement. Just like the classic, fantasy and fiction novels. There are lots of ways to use our miniature to solve problems. Through those trigonometric functions that are used in our miniature, we can definitely use it to solve ordinary problems to everyone especially to those who are curious in different activities happening in everyone’s life. In my part, it is totally helpful for me to understand more clearly than before about trigonometric functions with the use of miniature. Not just only trigonometric functions but as well as all mathematical concepts. For me, miniature is a factor for us to easily understand mathematical concepts. If were going to use the eight multiple intelligences, we can combine the logical-mathematical intelligence to visual intelligence where we can easily acquire mathematical concepts. Through visual appeal we can accumulate more interest in learning and solving it than with the use of spoon feeding information’s. In this case we can learn as well as enjoy. It is what I call on diverting our thinking like we’re bored to participative and keen students to learn mathematics. A great way to present our project with the enthusiasm of our audience is through miniature. I believe we love seeing different art and through miniature we can easily disseminate the word and work of art. What a truly intelligent way to learn and enjoy mathematics.

Through it, we can deal with making variety of structure that will be of great appeal to everyone. Our miniature will be very much helpful to those who want to teach their students different concepts. Not just mathematical concepts but all subjects in which we can apply the miniature to disseminate lessons to the students. A very creative and intellectual way to show people your work is through it.

Gang Wars February 13, 2008

Nowadays, there are lots of delinquent youngsters who are currently taking over the so-called “gang war”. making the people scared to go and socialize because of the disturbances they are making. We can say that gang wars are deliberately rigid here in our city which worry concerned citizens especially those who have children and those who are scared for their safety.

Gang wars are caused by group of young people who lack from proper guidances and family orientation about morals. These are the neglected children of their families or the black sheep in the family. They form groups and bond together. It is their form of brotherhood and great friendship. With it, they seek and thought they find their co-members. They may also been forced through peer pressure. They do gang wars for different reason such as showing off themselves that they are great and making their egos inflate to tell everyone that they are capable to such thing. Some of them participate for fun and also to be popular and make their names and faces well-known to the society. Probably doing gang war will help them be noticed and would feel happy when they are in attention on which they are seeking for from the negligence and less support they got from their loved ones.

Mathematics a Versatile Tool February 10, 2008

Sir Rosales’ lecture last Friday was quite fruitful. It was totally inspiring. He says that Math is everything and is not just merely arithmetic. We can apply it to different subjects and ways. Functions are defined to different situations where we can understand it practically. He also said that there are requirements of a thing before it can be considered a linear and quadratic function. For example, from the graph when from the left side to right it goes down from upward and returns upward. We can say that life is like that too. When we are pulled down and yet we believe in ourselves then we pulled ourselves up. We can compare the graph from different occasions and activities that we can conclude if it should be done or not.

Mathematics is also good in money-making. Through the data and computations, we can easily tell if our business is booming or is it fatal to the point of bankruptcy. It also can help our country pushed our economics up if where careful. That what our country needs. For us to achieve the said goal, Sir said that we students should enhance our mathematical and logical and verbal linguistic intelligence for us to learn and understand deeply on how will we help our country raise our economy and prove to others that were not just forgotten from it time. One factor to build it through seminars, research, indirect and direct observations for us to be able to calculate if it is needed or not.

Dan Brown, a Dynamic Novelist February 10, 2008

Dan Brown, an author of numerous novels including the bestselling ones which is the Da Vinci Code, the #1 New York Times bestseller of all times. The book which simply an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate. It has sold some 70 million copies worldwide and is now being adapted for film by Columbia Pictures. He has made controversial novels that make a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith and about the national security as well as its complementary perspectives like science vs. religion, cryptography, keys, and codes.

Aside from being a great novelist, his stepping stone actually before being a novelist is that he is a songwriter and produces songs that produce almost a hundred copies. He moved to Hollywood to pursue his career as a song a songwriter and a pianist. In 1993, Brown released the self-titled CD Dan Brown, which included songs such as “976-Love” and “If You Believe in Love”. He also became an English teacher who teaches Spanish lessons to elementary students. His works were being inspired by Sidney Sheldon’s book and he became interested in it. He then started the book Angels and Demons which comes from his CD produced title.

Self-Reliance February 10, 2008

Individualism is a crucial thing for a person to possess. That is what I can say after I’ve reading it. True, we have said things impossibly for people to misinterpret and put into judgment. But that’s what a genius is. We should be as independent as we are now. When I look at the past, I am totally scared of what on lies on it. A person who agrees with everyone and doesn’t think right. A person who goes with the flow and doesn’t reckon on its idiotic conviction acted upon it. That was me, when I was young and irrational-thinker. After reading the essay, I can make my own judgment and acquire things which will boost my confidence no matter how people judge and criticize me. We should have trust on ourselves. For it is our conscience that gives us thoughts and judges on what I do. Be myself. The only thing should be done in order to expose and drive out facts and opinion about life. The key of wisdom is the constant and frequently questioning for by doubting we arrive at the truth.

We should not cry when we lose. We should not mourn when we stumble. For all those downfall we experience is what makes us strong. It is better to be strongly wrong than to be weakly right. It will do no good if we believe and stand through others judgment. We should have our own convictions. That’s what I believe in life. We can’t be mature enough if we just believe and doesn’t think about it. They can overshadow you thoughts, influence our opinion and even ruin our principle. Freedom and human dignity is precisely containing this: that he does good not because he was forced to do so but because he freely conceives it, wants it and loves it.

Women are More Effective in Leadership February 9, 2008

        Women are really of essence. They have great powers and strength to be great leaders in the society. Whether big or small positions, they are capable to do the task well. I believe that they are genuinely better than men to be leaders in the community and to serve the people.

As we all know, nowadays we have the equality on sexes in which men and women are equivalent to almost things we do in life including governing the community. And yet women are more effective than men in ruling a society talking about the aspects of behavior. They make rules and carry out basic tasks required by their roles. They are very much dedicated to the position they are holding and trying as much as possible to uphold the dignity to the position demands. It is more likely that women can use leadership styles that men effectively. They show respect and humility to the position they are holding and as much as possible they are implying the words “help and rule” to the society without many aberrations. Women have great feelings than men and they are very committed to the job they are task to do. Women showed that transformational leadership strengthens organizations by inspiring followers’ commitment and creativity.
