WEEK 9: Online Diary

Illustrated and colored in gimp by: Kathrine Crisostomo♥

         Blogging is an online diary. This is where we can express our thoughts, sharing our ideas, and all what we had on mind. Just like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Blogger is where we can freely discuss anything under the sun.   And one thing which I really like is the challenged how to design my blog. Here we can also show such collection of photographs, or posted images so that the world can see.

        But we must be responsible for information that we are posted or featured in our BlogSpot to think that anyone can read this anywhere in the world. So it is much better if we can posted such interesting ideas that we can able to share with other people.

For me, doing blogging is fun to deal with. By the anyway, thanks to Ms. Anna for giving us the opportunities and taught us how to create and introduce us this kind of web site. That was the time when I started to maintained and actively update my blogs every week.  It feels better if we can share interesting facts and discuss it with my own self.

        Now as a certified blogger (weh?! di nga!)  I can able to associate my blog with my personal Google account. I can  give my comments ,and  reshared my post with my other friends so that  It will engage with wider audience and followers.

WEEK 8: The Impact of New Media

        Nowadays,  “New Media”  plays a very important role in our  daily lives.   It can be our source of information or communication. Most technologies described as "new media" which evolving anywhere, everywhere and all the time. Actually it so much becomes  part of our environment  especially in our home, in offices, schools and other places.

      We are on the stages of sorting out the impact of New Media in our lives, but for me it is up to the user as to whether it is good or bad.  Considering the fact that, that new media has really the power to influence everyone of us.  In the sense that we are always utilize media just to inform, educate and entertain us at different times depending on this risk and protection we experiences how to deal with it. We can’t  just view all media as good or bad.  Like for example When I’m  using social media to chat with my friend  I can be beneficial as long as the feedback is ‘POSITIVE’ but if  I  can get ‘NEGA’ feedback  I  may be feel lonely.  So  It's not a matter of “If we are using it “but  “How we are using it.”

WEEK 7: WOOOOO Rain!!

Rainy Day?

It has been raining heavily almost every day as it’s a rainy season.  Feel like there is nothing to do?

I know you are looking for great activities you can do indoors, especially now that we are already expecting a rainy season.  Don’t get board during these days, because a lot of fun and easy things you can do in our home.

Well there are some ideas to get you having some fun even though the sun is not shining outside.  Before you know it the rain will be gone and the sun will be back again to make your day with more fun.

What would you do in rainy day?

    

Well, now I assumed most of the people like to stay at home during rainy season.

    

If you ask me what am I going to do when it is raining, I would prefer to stay at home too…. And go to sleep all day long! Coz’ I have a feeling when it’s raining I feel asleep. Sometimes I watching television, listening music, eating snacks , go surfing on the internet and go online or  watching the rain drops … or even if I am in a good mood I will probably make my artworks, I prefer to do my fine line drawings in my sketch pad  or either get my brush and go on with my painting.  In rainy days I also like to read books or hang around with my family…. with family jokes.

When the heavily rains come, I could remember my growing up years. Especially when I heard from weather forecast report about the typhoon … automatically expecting for a class suspension.. ….SO it was considered as a holidays from schools.  That made us happy as a student for an instant vacation.  Don’t  tell me that won’t  you experienced  same  with  what I felt such kind of  instinct as a student. Of course, I used to have a pleasure time walking without umbrella while raining. We were enjoying splashing in the mud or simply getting wet in pouring rain with my cousins.  Ah! We really had pleasure time with the rain without thinking that we might get flu after the rain. 

      

      As I had recall when I was a little child, during heavy rain, it might be followed by thunder. It could be frightening then, so I was running to my mother’s hand especially when there was lightning which accompany the rain.

    

     Well, Many of us have fond memories of the rain. We had the joyous moments or sometimes It made us sad because rainy season also brings with flooded roads, mosquitoes, humid weather, diseases and lot more.  With a little care, let us enjoy this rainy season and keep us safe from illnesses. Come to think of It, that rainy days might bring us threat of strong and violent typhoon. So we need to be ready, alert, and be prepared for natural disasters.  Just like one television  NETWORK  launched  as  disaster preparedness  campaign  via  I AM READY… presents with a practical tips on how to prepare for emergency situations using three  M’s as guide…. MAGPLANO… MAGSIGURO… MAKIBALITA.
