The LOOk(comments about it)

The Look
Strephon kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,

Robin's lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin's eyes

Haunts me night and day.

As what you have read above, it is an interesting poem about the lovers. There were three males seemingly, loving a lady in different ways. That ways they used were expressing their personality inside.

I think what they have done haven' t really impressed the lady aside from Colin. Strephon and Robin both kissed her while Colin just took a look at her. The kissed she have were just lost after some time while Colin' s look was so mysterious that it is still at her head.

It might be said that the look is more powerful than that of the kiss she have but I think a good reason for that is because their eyes were having a communication to each other and that communication they have was placed on both of their hearts. I think the kiss that she have was just a reaction of the feeling they have but is less powerful than actually knowing the feeling itself.

...On being taught by students

As the event KYSD(Know Your School Day) had passed, students just can' t deny the fact that they really enjoyed that event where they were being taught by their fellow students. Maybe they were thinking of it as a fun activity but I think the reason behind it is that they are more comfortable with the student teachers than the teachers they used to have. Being taught by students lets you feel they are just your playmate and that they can relate to the latest happening inside your classroom. Talking about everyones crushes, latest fashion trends, and could also be the school' s news.

I myself admit that if I would be given the chance to choose the teacher whose going to teach me would go for the student teachers. I just fill that we have a strong bond connected to each other and that alone makes me comfortable to ask questions about our lessons and that makes them more approachable than the teachers we had in our classroom. Our teachers might know a lot of things compared to our student teachers and more experienced than they are, I think our student teachers can compete with them in terms of teaching strategies. It is because learning only happens by choice and that is what our student teachers can provide because of our closeness.

Nonetheless, KYSD only happens once a year and all of us love our teachers so I think, there is no way our beloved teachers can be replaced.

Our research study uses water hyacinth with molasses as alternative feed for pigs and commercial feeds. We aimed to compare the effect of the two feeds on the weight of the two pigs and which is more efficient to be used. We came up with using water hyacinth as a feed for pigs from the data we have gathered by computing the mean mass gains of the pigs after being fed at a given time. We used wter hyacinth to solve the problem of the over population of these aquatic macrophytes causing the clogging of drainage systems and crating a disturbed breeding ground for fresh water fishes. Also, the problem of the rising of the prices of commodities that is likely affecting the prices of animal feeds is aimed to be solved by our research study because it cost pig raisers a big amount of money in pursuing their business of raising pigs.

We, the reserchers came up an answer to this problems of the society by including water hyacinth feeds into our alternative feeds for pigs by chopping and mixing it with molasses. To make this a successful one, the researchers came up a scientific set-up where the pigs were fed with the water hyacinth with molasses in a mixed and computed diet for them and was mixed with commercial feeds while the remaining pig was fed with pure commercial feeds. The measurement of the amount of molasses and chopping some parts of water hyacinth was done in the Chemistry Lab of UP High. The amount of molasses depended on the amount of water hyacinth of the whole feed since 20% of the mass of the water hyacinth is the mass of the molasses.The researchers applied a statistical treatment which was the t-test of uncorrelated means since the variables in the study were not related to each other. The results gathered from the study showed that the water hyacinth feeds mixed with the commercial feeds showed a comparable effect to the mass of the pigs as compared with the commercial feeds alone. This result implies that water hyacinth can be used as substitute feeds for pigs. In just using this study, the researchers can control the over population of water hyacinth and solve the problems of hog raisers in their financial aspect. With these things, our study will be very significant and useful to aqua culturists and hog raisers.

Reflections on Teachers and Teaching

KYSD (Know Your School Day) is a school event held once every school year where students take place of teaching their fellow students just like what our teachers do to us. Students become the teachers while the teachers are given a chance to rest for even for just a while from teaching the students.It is chance to experience being a teacher or a faculty staff for a day or even two.
It was on January 24, 2007 when KYSD officially opened in UP High with some opening ceremonies at its open field. The student teachers were introduced to everyone in the campus by letting them went up to the stage while their I.D.s are given to them.
I think evryone of us were excited to have new faces of teachers in our subjects. I was one of those who were accepted to have the chance to teach my classmates and share my thoughts about the subject I am teaching. It was Practical Law that I taught during the KYSD and I was very nervous coming in front of my students. It is like their face are telling me that they are expecting a good lesson for today. I tried not to disappoint them but it was really hard for me being a teacher, specially in a law class where brilliant minds are gathered in front of me. There were a lot of questions being asked and I myself are also asking them to myself, just like the applications of the law and its scope. Law was really broad to be taught in just an hour. Nonetheless, they were satisfied by the answers I have given them.

Being a Practical Law teacher should be an exemption for those students who just sleep in their classes. It might be boring sometime but it really is very beneficial to everyone of us nowadays that there is a struggle for power and all want to be the leader. Laws are strictly implemented and as what is written in the Civil Code- Ignorantia Legis, Non excusat or Ignorance of the law excuses no one from compliance therewith. Teacher really is no joke now that I experienced it myself the preparations needed to come up with a lesson plan. I salute all the teachers for their priceless effort and their dedication to their work.

There is no typo- error here, it may not look like a poem but it is a poem. You can say the author is unorthodox but I' m impressed with his style of writing. He keeps the traditional style of poetry writing in this poem and I can say that the essence of poetry really requires analysis. This might not be easy to understand without knowing the title but we can analyze it by looking every details.

Let' s start on how it is arranged. The words are not in their proper places because it has been disarranged. If we arrange the poem vertically, we would be able to read it like this:
‘l(a leaf falls)oneliness’, the author inserted the phrase ‘a leaf falls’ between the letters ‘l’ and ‘o’ and I think there' s really one leaf that falls and is separated from the tree and the other leaves. This leaf might be the one that falls in front of the author while he was lonely and decided to write it in the poem he was writing. It could also be the author that relates himself to the leaf. So, if the leaf was a person he or she would feel lonely because he might be left behind or separated from the people he or she was with for a long time.

I think his reason for this structure would be the emotions he felt while writing this and why it is hard for us to understand is because his deep personality that belies. This would be just a poem he made to make the lonely ones get busy annalyzing it. Don't you think so? Just let your playful mind work in this. Sometimes we do not have to think complicately in complicated things, we just have to speak out our opinions with it...

I still remember my last summer...

Summer is the longest vacation time in as tudent' s life that lasts for about two months. It must be enjoyed by everyone although it is hit at that time because you do not have to worry for anything else that is waiting for you to be done just like homeworks and school projects.

I spent my last summer in our province in Medellin. It was the town' s fiesta and it lasted for about ten days which was held from April 18 to April 28. When my friends knew that I already arrived from the city, they went to our house and there we planned our plans for our vacation. Together with my friends and couzins, we party from 8pm until 2am in the dawn. We enjoyed every night of the fiesta because of its events and we all had a hard- rocking party with the new acquaintance of friends.

My summer did not ended after the fiesta. Instead it had just started. I wake up every morning at 8am because my mother would ask me to water the plants. After those stuffs, I scrubbed our wooden floor that has shined because of my hard work. (heheh! how a good son I am!) When I am done of all my household chores, I would already be watching my favorite TV shows together with my brother with an ice cold coffee on our hands. We are having our siesta at 1pm and ends it at 3pm to play basketball. You may think it is still very hot to play at that time but it is not because the basketball court is surrounded by old acacia trees. We usually stop playing at 5pm to take a rest for one hour and then take a bath and prepare our dinner. It is at 8pm that we go out from our house to meet mt friends and play some games or just hang out with them. It is until 12am that we go back to our house and rest for the next day. I do these stuffs for almost four weeks with the same things every day. Thus, summer was not that hot as you think, it was in fact a cool one.
