Simple Rules

Being new in Iligan City, I was surprised of seeing the traffic lights for people crossing the street. It is just I couldn’t see it in our city there in Cagayan de Oro. Well unfortunately people can’t simply follow a good thing even it is fair for all to follow the rules as it guides to safeness. It is sad to think that the road for the vehicles is taken over by the citizen crossing the lane. They can’t wait to see the green light that signals them to walk. Didn’t they think that it is a matter of seconds to wait? Didn’t they think that it is a matter of seconds to lose their lives in case someone would bump them? What if whoever will be caught violating the rules would be imprisoned for two days? Will they violate it not? Will they take the risk not? If they don’t what is their purpose in following the rules? Is it for the sake of getting off from the prison or to avoid the punishment that would touch their pride? These simple matters might affect our morality. The things we learn from spiritual matters are useless if we don’t apply it in our society. God is perfect, he does what he say; He does what he preach; He does what he wanted us to do, even our first perfect example.

I’m not preaching I’m just relating things which are excerpt from reality. Even relating in school, what’s the use of intelligence if you’re morally damned? Being a dean’s list in the best school or a student that can sustain good grades but cannot follow simple rules. Will it measure a person’s personality or intelligence? Isn’t funny that in from of MSU-IIT there is a sign that it is prohibited to cross some part of the road because there is a pedestrian lane provided and most of them who violate are students. The most amusing is I saw someone drop by the pedestrian lane yet moved to the prohibited area and crossed the street. Great things in life come without sign as well as the Bad things and most of them are worse. Let us obey rules. Those simple yet gives benefit for all.

Getting the best of the BULLY

When you are 12 years old, life is hard enough. To caught between being a child and being a teenager, you struggle to really who you are. I was in the middle of that struggle when my parents announced we were moving to the city. The move was only few miles away, but to me it was a world away. Our new home was different compared to the new one. I only stayed at home. I never played with other children in the place with the same age of mine.

The move itself wasn't so bad, bu I had a hard time fitting in at school. The other student had all grown up together, and I was the outsider. To make the matters worse, I didn't hide my emotions and was an easy target for bullies. One of the biggest bullies I had to deal with this was Jenny. That wouldn't have been so bad, except Jenny is a girl. I had dealt with boy bullies before. You either faced them or learned to avoid them. But Tracy seemed to be everywhere: in the hall, at lunch, in my classes. She had a way with insults that just chopped you to pieces. I dreaded seeing her anywhere.

Since it seemed I couldn't avoid here, I had to face her, but I didn't know how. A talk I heard at church changed all that. I don't remember what was said. The speaker was talking about dealing with difficult people. He said, "if you can't beat them, try loving them to death." He got laugh out of the congregation, but I thought about it for some time. I finally decided what to do with Jenny. I would "smother her with kindness." I started looking for Jenny the next day. When I saw her, I said, "Jenny, you look nice." She looked shocked and stammered a thank you as we passed in the hall. I kept it up. Every time I saw her, I would pay her compliment before she had a chance to say anything . The insults stopped, and my life gained a little peace.

A few months later, the school year was coming to close. One of the closing activities was a dance in the gym during school hours. I went to it but didn't feel like asking any girls to dance. Frankly, I had never asked as girl before. But the a girl came up to me and asked me to dance. I was shocked to see that it was Jenny. I said yes, and we went out onto the floor. When the song was over, I said, "thank you," and Jenny went on her way. I never did see her again. She moved somewhere else that summer. I hope she fit in at here new school more easily than I had. But i learned that day that my plan had worked. Where I had an enemy, I found a friend.

No One Stops to Say " Thank You" Anymore by: L.A. Wilson

We are often deeply moved with gratitude for simple favors. When we receive such favors, we should sincerely express our thanks to those who have served us. Our gratitude can be recognized only when we show or express our appreciation in words. It is more than just being polite; it is showing genuine heartfelt thanks.


Joy and Happiness are born of Gratitude, saying "Thank You" to ones who served us or the ones who we loved and who loved us is a great point of showing how we appreciate even a simple act of kindness. I might say that we must express gratitude even in the simplest form. I was caught by this question "But how many of us are truly mannered?" I think we are not only imitating the act of ungrateful but, we might also emulate the feeling of uncomfortable. What I am trying to express is that we are awkward of saying "thank you" to those who helped us, but I have a little advise in feeling uncomfortable.

All virtues are connected to each other, to simply express gratitude we should show or have love to everyone. Love is the key to all, I mean without love you can't do such beautiful act.
As I noted that even in the simplest form will do, that it might even touch the heart of a lonely man feeling down in having a lot of problem; or writing a letter to your mom, being grateful for the love, care, shelter and for sending you to school. It will help your mother a lot, making her think of how you value and appreciate her efforts, and letting her have the thought that she's not only doing things because it's her obligation but the thought that she's kind of showing love to you.

There is simplicity--- even sincerity---- when thank you is spoken. It has power that can't be measured love, politeness, appreciation, kindness, and a sign of a well-mannered person.

"The Suite and I are One"

Iron Man 2 is so awesome. Having super high technology made my eyes twinkle with my heart pounding in excitement. Iron Man 2 is obviously the continuation of it's first movie "Iron Man" from Marvel Comics turned to movie. The 2nd movie as about Stark revealing his own self toe the government which demands him to surrender the Iron Man suite as they call it a deadly weapon, yet Stark refused and said that he will maintain world peace and will protect the United States, adding to his statement that until 20 years no one can create another Iron Man suite like what he created. It contradicts with Hammer's intent to imitate and comprehend Stark, but what all he had is failure.

Let's check Ivan Vanko a Physicist and also the son of Anton Vanko the partner of Tony Stark's father which is Howard Stark. He desired to revenge for his father's death against Stark family. Ivan created and arc reactor similar to Tony Stark which that keeps Stark alive and powers the armor. Ivan attacks Stark while racing at the Circuit de Monaco, using an arc reactor of his own powering whip-like energy weapons. Stark defeats Vanko with the aid of his portable briefcase armor. Ivan was imprisoned and was rescued by Hammer and deals with him to create an Iron Man suite and make Stark like an antique. The battle is now from Hammer with Ivan against Tony Stark. Stark was a lot disappointed having the knowledge that someone is capable of making an arc reactor.

The palladium core in the arc reactor which keeps Stark alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him, and he has failed to find a substitute. Growing increasingly despondent and reckless due to his impending death, and choosing not to tell anyone about his condition, Stark appoints his personal assistant Pepper Pots to be the CEO of Stark Industries, and replaces her with Stark employee Natalie Rushman

At what he believes is his last birthday party Stark gets drunk while using the Iron Man armor, forcing his friend, James Rhodes,to intervene. Rhodes dons Stark's Mark II armor and after battling him, delivers the armor to the military.

A lot of happenings are unexplainable with my vocabulary and thoughts and it would be better for you to watch and amaze yourself with the world of Technology where our World is going to.
