Peer Pressure

Peer pressure, like what we discuss in school, there are 2 kind of peer pressure. The good peer pressure and the bad peer pressure.

One time I experienced the negative peer pressure. My classmates told me to cut classes, because they say that there are nothing to do with that class. But I refuse their offer and still attend the class, I know that every attendance in the class is very important and who knows that we will do nothing with that class. I’m very glad that I can think for myself and not always referring my decisions to others.

I learned that not all your friends are your true friends, only those who care about you and the persons who you can trust to.

RESPONSIBILITY

A responsible person is one who can accomplish and task or duties assign to him/her successfully.

For being the eldest child in the family, my responsibilities are, to take care my younger sister and to provide protection to my family, because at this moment I’m the only guy at our home. And also to study well for the future of our family.

As a college student, I know that I have some responsibilities to do with my school. First of all is to obey rules and regulations inside and outside the campus. And also to respect every people inside the campus.

As a citizen, I must obey the law and server my community with all of my heart.

Honesty

As you will see on my previous journal entries, I want honesty to become my most outstanding virtue, just read my post to see why.

I take the challenge: returning an excess change. Returning excess change is not new to me. Like the last time that I ride a jeepney. The driver gave my change then I figure out that the money is more than I expect it. So as a good citizen I return the excess change as respect to him that he was working hard throughout the day.

Personal Health

I noticed that I’m quite heavy for my age, but as far as now I don’t have any health problems base on my previous health assessment. I’m planning to lose some weight and to exercise more daily. Like jogging every morning around the neighborhood.

The Inconvenient Truth

I’ve already watch this film in the cable channel and I’m not so surprised about the previous condition of our world, because even me already feel those effect for us people living in a tropical climate. The weather is very unpredictable and the temperature is changing frequently from time to time. Like having a late raining season, and the extreme hot temperature we felt from the summer time.

At first, I think what is the inconvenient truth about this movie. Then after watching it I realized, that the reality on all these things happening to our world. We human, we are the most intelligent being living in this world and we must should know if we are doing too much to our world. We people are the main cause why these catastrophes are happening in our world. And that’s the inconvenient truth about these, we don’t know why we suffer like these and the only answer to that question is US.

In my community they have this so called “waste segregation” just like the project in my previous alma mater. But I don’t know the exact name of that project; actually that project is headed by the “Sangguniang Kabataan” so as a youth myself I’m obliged to participate in this project.

CHALLENGE??

Challenge? I didn’t see these things as a challenge for me, more likely a habit. ^^ I’m just having fun doing these things. I do not want to think that these challenges were difficult. The most important thing is I’m still having fun learning new things from other person and also to share my insights to other people.

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished

The most challenging thing that I’ve ever done is to publish a full length movie. Actually that’s one of our projects back in high school. We are tasked to do a film with our own title and theme. The challenging part here is editing and publishing the movie. The acting part is not that challenging, haha ^^.

At first I didn’t saw editing a difficult task, but when I already doing it, that’s the time I realize it’s very difficult and the deadline of that project is tomorrow morning. I even called for help from some of my group mates, and we did it the whole night with no sleep and rest. It’s already morning when we almost finish the editing part and that same day we have an exam in math for the students who will exempted from getting the final exam. So what did you think, we have no time to review for the test and we didn’t yet finish the movie.

The time come, we are already publishing the movie, and then the tragedy happened my computer hanged and cannot publish the movie. It hurts that all of our effort was lost. So we plead our teacher to extend the deadline of submission of that project. At the second time, we finish the movie then submit it to our teacher, phew that was close.

What did you know I also perfect the exam in math, and as a reward I’m exempted from getting the finals! IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU’RE DOING YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IT WHAT EVER THE OBSTACLES ARE, IT IS JUST DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION.
