"Metacognition" after following the directions here: Get Organized! A Tribute to Aristotle--DUE MONDAY:Cleaning my Room.(longest title eva!)

 

Yes, yes, yes, I am darn proud of myself cleaning my room. Everything started with instructions. I checked out the homework for Monday and found out that I'm doing metacognition (again) but with a twist- a tribute to Aristotle. The instruction made me click the link button to another tab. It lead me to the real instructions. It said that I (really) have to organize something in my life in Forty something minute. Then I have to describe my experience after the organization. THEN answer some questions. I thought I was in a heck of a ride, but I guess sooner or later, I have to clean my room and finish my blog.

So! first up, think of something to organize. Love? no girls, Cars? no insurance (yet), Desk? whats on it?, CDs? I use memory cards, Computer? mom was using facebook, ROOM? well... why not? OK I choose "Cleaning the room". I knew that when I start to clean up the room, there was no turning back. I sat down the middle of my room, concentrated to what I had to approach first, then I attacked! I gave no mercy to the hangers that were scattered down the floor. I took the books with great strength and organize them from smallest to tallest. I pushed the off button of my computer like I have never pushed before. I cleaned my bed with endurance and great strength. Lastly, I gazed upon my room as if I was an eagle above the Arabian desert (are there any eagles on the deserts?). Then I cried (I'm just high). After I cleaned up my room, I turned on my computer (which I pressed hard, so I had to pluck it out with a spoon) and started writing.

Before I cleaned the room, it was so messy. Seriously, the hangers were lying on the ground, my bed was so untidy- bed sheet was half on the ground and the pillows were all scattered, the books were all over the place, and the floor was dirty. During my cleaning I started thinking about the blog that I had to work on. I started to think some comical stuff again for my work (which I just did). I started thinking about the book Sophie's world reading. I have not touched that book for a while now, maybe I would start reading it on Sunday. I also thought about the Bulls game against the Sacramento Kings. Who are the kings anyways? Have not heard of them. Wish the Bulls luck! I also started to think about my other assignments, how to approach them and when to start. Yeah, after a while I finished the room with proud.

The room looks clean(er) now, but nothing changed my mind after that project. I don't know what the question meant, but I think there's some metaphorical thing that was about that question. But I think, my mind feels more... organize? yes, organize. To see the room with more space made my mind feel more organize. Oh yeah, my mind feels more ease with the look in the room. Well I guess my mind really felt something didn't it?

After the work was done, there were few things that I found out. First was that, my brother loves the way I look when I'm tired (BTW, it was our room), and I found out where the Milky ways and other chocolate bars go. But in a more serious way, I found the beauty of my room. Gosh, of course I cleaned up my room sometimes, but this time I noticed the nice blue painting on the wall of my room, the nice tint of yellow lights, the way the closet door shuts in ingenious way (the door folds when you open it), and the map fits perfectly on the wall beside my bed.

In the end, I had a lot of fun (philosophically) and my room is now tidy (again). I have not seen the room in a different way before. What if we organize our life in our society or organize the things around us? will we see the beauty of us or around us? maybe, we have not tried. But I have a strange feeling that my room will return to its mad way by tomorrow, or the next day.

Carry It Forward: "My Universe: The First Nothingness"

 I made this

Big Bang: you, me, mom and dad, friends,and anyone that you see everyday believes that everything started with the big bang- With the exception of the SUPER religious people. As I read the book "Sophie's World" I found out that since then, the Philosophers were trying to understand what the world is. A lot of them thinks outside the box; they think that the sun, the moon, and the stars revolved around the world while others thinks the opposite, many says that the world was created by God, while others ignore them and thinks that they are crazy. I want to know too where we came from, where this world or everything came from. But how and why? I have thought some Ideas about our universe, and others have theirs.


When I was a kid, I knew nothing. I play, eat, poop, and sleep. The whole universe might have been like that. When I first heard the Big Bang, the first thing that came inside my head was fireworks. What I mean was that, who created the big bang? When you want to make a rocket for a firework, you need a lot of stuff or "ingredients." You need to make a powder that has different elements to make specific colors to find it interesting, a shell to fill the powder with, and a specific area to start the fireworks display. So how can the nothing make a spectacular firework with nothing? How did life started from that?  And why did the big bang happened in this nothingness- in our nothingness? I had a feeling that our Big Bang was not the only big bang in the universe. I somewhat believed that the universe was not the only universe out there. I had the thought that there was multiple big bangs that happened before our own big bang began.

Now that I have grown and know more than I was young, I have now a different point of view. My idea came from chemistry- while on the bus. The thought just came inside my head this year. I believe that the universe is inside of something. I believe that the universe are the ATOMS that are inside us! I believe that every single item, people, or animals has billions of galaxies inside them. Do you know that elephant that Dr. Seuss created back then? The book or movie "Horton hears a who!" Is an example. An elephant name Horton found a flower that has tiny people inside it. This people inside the flower doesn't know that there's life outside their world. One day Horton started to speak with one of the tiny people and the story goes on. I have different theories to prove my belief. First, when you see the modern model of an atom, it is more of a cloud! There are some comparison with the universe and an atom. Here is a modern atom model...

 

As you can see the nucleus is inside the electron cloud. I have also learn that the nucleus is accompanied with Protons and in the Electron cloud there are obviously Electrons.  The Protons keep the Electrons from "running away." When I see this model, a picture ventures inside my head, as if it is telling me that this thing has a look alike. Guess what? Here... 

WHOOOAAAHHH!!! SOOO BEAUTIFUL RIGHT. I smiled when I saw this. So can you see now? LOOK very closely! That thing in the middle of our universe, doesn't that look like the Nucleus of an atom? Oh my goodness, it does look like it huh!? WAIT THERE IS MORE! I have researched last night and I found out that THAT thing in the middle, that bright thing inside the middle are Billions and Billions of stars! IT IS LIKE AN ATOM! For example; an oxygen atom has 8 protons, obviously, the amount of electrons outside the Nucleus is equal to the numbers of protons inside or on the nucleus which is 8! except if the atom is an ion. So, if there are billions and billions of stars inside a universe or milky way, there must be billions and billions of stars around it- WHICH WE HAVE!

Then came another question that bothered me. My question is, are those stars inside the Orion belt (that bright thing.) Positive? And are those stars outside the nucleus(that thing that surround the bright area) negative? Basically, are the stars in the middle of the belt are Protons and are the stars outside it are Electrons? But "I guess" I have an answer for that! TAKE A LOOK- but most of all OBSERVE HOW THEY COLLIDE!!!!

DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING!? Oh my GOD! What an evidence that they are like Electrons! Did you notice that they kind of trying to move as far away from each other before they collide? Oh my GOSH! Electrons doesn't like to be near each other too! Like my picture of the Milky way on top, the stars are far away from each other! Why? Maybe because they are Negative charge stars! The stars in the middle of the milky way BEHAVES like the Protons of an ATOM! The negativity of the stars kind of explains way the stars are far apart from each other, and the positive stars behaves like the protons of an atom.

Well, I have a lot of evidence to prove my idea, probably. But if my statement is true, THEN there are GOOGLEPLEX amount of universe in the Earth alone! HOLY MOLY! But there are still a lot of questions that needs to be explain! For example; if this galaxy is an atom of something, then life must exist but much much MUCH bigger than us! OR There really is life inside the atoms! BUT, the MY BIG QUESTION IS, "Who created the first nothingness?" There might be a part 2 for this entry.

An Inconvenient Truth: "Knowledge is Power"

 Ernie Baron

"Knowledge is Power", three words, three powerful words that I really like. A motivational phrase to keep me studying. It is like "Oh my God". But last night, I found out that those three words did not come from him. He just got it from another guy that he might have liked when he was young. Maybe his idol. I think that he got that phrase from a guy from the renaissance period. My theory is that, he got the phrase from Francis Bacon.

 

Ernie Baron was my idol. I liked his ways of teachings. He was known for his great scientific intelligence in our country. He was first recognized as a radio man. He was the host of "Mga gintong aral" in the radio, in English, "The Golden Teachings". He was very smart. A lot of people who asked questions to him via radio were all answered. He's like the Wikipedia of the 90's in Philippines! Well, the story goes on, he became famous, became a weatherman, had his own episodes in T.V., a smart SMART person indeed. The only thing that he always said is the phrase "Knowledge is Power". I liked that. I studied hard when I was a kid because I wanted to be as smart as him, and as AWESOME as he was. But time cannot be stop. On the morning of January 23, 2006 at Muntinlupa, Baron suffered a myocardial infection  which led to his passing. It was sad, but I was a kid back then. I did not know what the heck what death meant. So I just moved on with my naive young life. Now that I remembered him, I really feel sad right now. Hehe, life is so random.

 

 

 

Francis Bacon 

As I was reading the book I came across to a guy named Francis Bacon. He was the GUY who started the phrase "Knowledge is Power." I think that he was the guy who Ernie Baron idolized, I guess. Well, BIOGRAPHY TIME PEOPLE! He was born in January 22 1561 near the strand in London. He was the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon and his second wife Anne (Cooke) Bacon- daughter of a noted Humanist, Anthony Cooke. A lot more can be learn about him in Wikipedia. But I want to point out something about him that lead him to say that phrase. He was born weak and studied at home. He really studied hard. And because of that, people recognized him and he started to meet a lot of people that made him more famous-er. I think because of knowledge he became famous, and powerful. SO, knowledge really is power!

 

What a bummer. And I thought that Mr. Baron was the first one who said that and made that phrase more famous. I don't blame him, Francis really was some guy back then. I guess idolizing people can be nice huh? Maybe if there is a chance someday, I want to have a conversation with this guys in a room and talk about that phrase; And talk about the other things behind that phrase.

Best of Today: Money, Love, Future, and everything in between.

Have you ever seen a twenty dollar bill lying on the ground while walking with a girl on which you were spotted by a another girl that dumped you while she was walking with a man that pisses her off everyday last year while you are feeling lucky for you are thinking about that and also thinking about the college that is inviting you for a private meeting to talk about the nursing course that in which you were found late but they made a recognition just for you and also, having a nice hot noodlesoup? Whooah! What a rush eh? But let me divide the sentence and add more into it, shall we?

By God in Heaven! I did find a bill lying on the ground today. But it was just a one dollar bill though. Why so lucky? Because of the fact that It was so crazy cold outside and the warm noodles only costs a dollar bill. Right at that moment, when I saw that bill on the ground, I remembered that I only have twenty-one bucks in my wallet. Two ten dollar bill and a dollar bill. Why me being descriptive? Well, it is because of the fact that I use pace bus rather than the school bus that an ordinary and also extraordinary student would use everyday. I cannot use my ten dollar bill to pay the pacebus! What a rip off for God's sake! I use a dollar to pay the bus because they don't give change. Finding that dollar bill lying on the ground made my stomach happy, and the Pacebus driver happy too. But let us go back before that.

GYM! Three letter odd word that doesn't have any vowels. What a strange word.  Well nothing really happened there today rather than pumping irons in my biceps and other muscle naming Holabalu! Other classes are like this too. But the best stuff happens while walking toward another class.

Well, yeah, good stuff happens while you are walking on the hallway greeting friends and old friends. But, the most interesting thing that can happen to you is to see that specific girl that dumped you last year. I'm so sorry Mr. Pineapple, but, you can't walk on the hallways and you only reproduce by the help of the farmers and other nature thing. You can't get dumped you know- except if you IS finish eaten.

Well the story started last year. She was a girl and I was a boy, well, anotomically obvious, but she was more than that. Have you ever felt that THAT special someone only makes her special for she has/had something special inside her? She had that. I do not know what it was and sadly, I cannot remember. She was a cheery young lady that made my day happy. A motivation. That was what I thought of her. We were inseperable. We always walked the same path like it was magic. I always had that feeling that she likes me. God I was wrong. It was embarassing, I felt like she likes me and me liking her, but no, she was oblivious. So I was like thinking of telling her that I like her, no, I love her. The day came that I felt that I was ready. She dumped me. HAHA! What a dumbass huh? I am sorry.

Today, I was walking with a girl that is kind of close to me. We got stuck in a traffic in the hallway when she came near us, iritated by the guy walking next to her. Her face was not like the bundle of joy that was once I saw. I don't know what to say. When she saw us, I saw a shocking feeling in her face. It was like jeolous, I guess. I don't know what to say, but my mind said that it's payback. But why mind? Why? She did not do anything. I did the wrong thing. This moment is about love, it is part of "Best of Today" because, I felt that my heart has a different mind of it's own. I don't know. Maybe because that I got my revenge. But at the same time, it was not her fault. It was not her fault.

The last thing that happened to me today was THE BEST. Last monday, I just found out that the admission for nursing was already done during the summer of 2010. I was shocked. I don't know what/how to tell it to my parents. My dad would totally kill me. I decided to talk to my counselor for an advice. Well she was busy. There was this line of students waiting for her to finish her work with her counseling with another student. I met some guys. Talked about future, how big should the bathroom is, and how long will it take for Pamela Anderson to realize that she has AIDS and she is old. Yup, crazy stuff. Well, thanks for craziness, time flew by and I suddenly noticed that I was next. I greeted her, sat in front to her, and I talked. "Can you help me?" The first sentence that I said. I explained to her everything, the nursing, the admission, the parents that will get angry, etc. I took the admission paper that was within my bag and showed it to her. She said that we will call an admissioner for the nursing program. It wasn't there. So she just left a message to the admissioner and told me that she will call me in tuesday for the response.

Tuesday came. I just finished my quiz in Physics...

...OH MY GOD! Quit disturbing me random pictures! It is not helping my grade you know? Well, she called me out and I was thinking about what she was going to tell me. I listened. She said that the admissioner wants to talk to me and invite me to the nursing program next week. I was so happy that I don't know what to say; but a simple thank you.

Every day is special. But like what I heard, "Today is the most special day of your life." I will never forget those words and how they are arranged. I guess everyday has it's mark in history huh? Specially today.

iMedia: Ghost in the consoles

There is something in life that most of us does not want see in reality. Indeed, ghosts are one of it. This month of halloween, scary stuff happens ya' know? But does it only happen in reality? Well, as you can see from above, it can also hunt the heck out of you... on a console.

(^watch the video^)

DARN STRAIGHT! Horror games haunts me for God's sake! They tend to stay in my mind and lasts for days or months. I peed once because of that game- The Resident Evil. Oh my god! Why in the world would they make games like this? To torture me? To torture the people? Why man!? WHYYY!!

That is what I would say if I am still a kid. But now...

Hmmm... Those games that me and you had just seen, can rarely be seen right now- in modern games. No games scares me as they used to. I applaud that those games scared the heck out of me, but not anymore I guess. Those games, those scary games back then are art. Art that scares you and me. But can you find art like that now? No. The last resident evil that I saw was nothing compared to the hell that Jill Valentine went through. The last Resident Evil game that I saw is like a racist game. Two people in Nigeria killing black zombies.

I want to see more scary games like back then. I want to get scared and hate the makers like I used to. But no. Most of the horror games right now is for franchise- not for fun.

Metacognition: QE essay

The first day that Mr. Allen assigned us the QE essay, I did nothing. I said to myself that "It will be fine", yup, that is one of the thousands of excuses inside my tedious brain. A tedious brain indeed. Yes, like what I wrote before in my first metacognotion blog, I wrote that I need inspiration to write; then I found a loop hole. The weakness, the kryptonite of Super Man, the ghosts in Pacman, and the STAIRS of professor magneto, The distractions around me.

I know that I wrote in my first metacognition how to handle the distractions around me. I also said that once I start writing, the ideas will start to flow and flow and flow until the paper was over. But sadly during the writing of my first QE, God! nothing came my head. Not even a darn thing. Every time I sat in front of the computer, a whisper comes along and says "What 'ya gonna do now? Big boy", weird huh? That was just an expression, people might think I'm CRAZY! WAHAHAHAHA! No I am not. See? I did it again, I got distracted and started writing this unnecessary words, but I guess their a bit relevant to what I am writing. Of course this is the second paragraph, and I am not just writing words to make this paragraph long, I am just writing sentences to express what I am thinking right now, for example, the test in "The Shadow Catcher" on Friday. Moving on.

I set QE aside for some days and, without notice, the due date started to peak behind my back. Then the day before the due date came. Yes some of the words were written, but it was still incomplete. And on top of that, I had a quiz and homeworks that were due in the due date. I hustled everything, I was disappointed to myself.

And then the second QE came. I don't want to get anybody to get mad but, when the second QE came, I felt like I slipped into the deepest circle of hell, I am not kidding...

... WoohOh no, Kanye, Imma finish what I wanted to say. Ahem, let me explain, during that week, I have to review for the test in Math, which I got 85% not bad, I guess. In Physics I had five, yes, five web assigns that were due after a week, but what week? during that week, of course, and after that week, we have a test; which I also have to study. Next, I had another web assign during that week too, but it was in Chemistry, and like Physics I have to study for a test too at the due date of the web assigns. I am not going to talk about Political Science for I had a test too in that week, but I forgot what day that was. Also we had to finish a chapter in "The Shadow Catcher". And ALSO, I had to take care of my brothers and sister for my mom was at work, and my dad comes home at 9pm after he sends my mom to her work(I don't blame them because it always happens every day, but the chores? Oh God). I traveled through the 9 circles of hell during that week. It's tough to be Dante. What a coincidence that was, putting all those in just a week. I have a feeling that THAT will happen again.

I manage to finish my second QE. Not the grade that I was expecting, but glad that's over, and the others. Happily, it was great that we could revise it. Fun week as it was, the A grades that I wanted did not show up. But nothing can stop this guy. Why can't I be Eratosthenes?

The last QE was pretty quick. I finished it in a day for I had no homework, no quiz, no test, and no distractions. YES, no distractions is what I wrote. I wrote it like a snap. SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, done. It was nice, writing without worries. If I have one wish, I wish that WE THE PEOPLE (and animals) could live in a stress free world.

QE III: return (not part of blogging, but why not post it?)

A simple question lead me to think into different ways that I could not even imagine. Questions like that comes ones in a lifetime, I guess. Because of that question It reminded me of the good times that I had with my friends when I was a kid. The neat thing is, is that the question made me think of my past, how creative and imaginative I was. And how creative and imaginative I wasn't. That's not all, the questions led me also to the stories that I read in class (or at home for homework) and reminded me how nice the stories were. Such as the story of Mr. Feynman and his colleages. How smart he was how people loved his work and ideas through creativity. Ideas that alot of people were blown away. The questions also led me to the story that we are reading today. How Clara and Edward fell in love with each other, how good Edward was with photography, and how imaginative and creative Marry Wiggins was with the way she has written the book itself. Many ideas came into my head, many thanks to that question.

I am so glad that I am in school and being educated. I mean a lot of people does not have good education in some places in this big round mudball we call earth. People who are poor, weak, uneducated in the first place, sad as it is, it is real. Now that I know education very well, I will now not take it for granted.I will persue it, take it, put it into a jar, preserve it or show it to people that I know. The question gave me a way or an alliby to love school, to be more passionate, to be more creative and imaginative in the reality that tomorrow would bring, my future. Now that I know that eductaion do more than what I thought it could do, I shall walk on the road of education, grab souvenirs from Imagination and Creativity city, and take it with me; keep it for the next generation.

So, what roles does education play in creativity and imagination? Well, to make it short, alot. Thousand and thousands of ideas, ideas that can lead to creative and imagination. Studying arts, literature, cultures, music, videos, pictures, science, english, math, and any single thing you could think comes from the process of education. The beauty and wonders starts with an idea from education..

To end my hardship, enjoynment, or like Mr. Feynman says it "FUN". I would now love to study more- not because I am forced to do it, but because I know the benefits it would give to me- and think more of the things that I take for granted here in school.  Therefore I would appreciate what my teachers give me and go along with it, for education gives more than assignment but more, and more, and more.

Blogging around: Fooling around

Epic failure, I guess. If I had only read before doing my commenting huh? I guess was just too excited to begin it. But, I guess everything happens for a reason.

Now look at what I have done.

(don't mind this guy)

COOL! Thinking outside the box... Exterior of the box. I tried that once too. But one time I failed, so I acted like nothing even happened. Nice Metacognition.

-Joe A.

WOOOOAAAHH!! I do that too! The thinking, the staring at the computer, the typing, then anoter thinking, then proof reading. It is really hard to start an essay ESPECIALLY at the beginning.

-Ashley C.

Yeah... starting an essay is such a pain in the nerve. Awesome strategy on how you overcome the first few lines though. Can I try that too?

-Mimi D.

WAAACHHHAAA!!! The JOURNEY inside your head is stupendous! The Idea in your head keeps on running around, and sometimes, they seem to hit your brain. That's realy nice, because your Ideas keeps on coming by. Sadly, my ideas are having a party rather than working. GOOD JOB!

-Joe G.

And I thought I was the first one who started commenting. BOO! Just kidding. You, Kara, has a very deep way on giving conclusion to others. For me, commenting is like saying "WOW, that is soo amazing!"-not sarcasticly. But you? You take time on your comments to others. I feel jelous. But maybe it is just me! HEHE... awesome work.

-Kara G.

WOAH! awesome brain you've got there sir. Yeah, sometimes it takes me about 30 minutes to start an essay. Why? well , starting an essay is really REALLY hard. It is pretty common especially to us kids this days. Good thing you're one of those people who would know what to do next after the first few sentence. Sadly, I'm not one of those people. *laugh*. GOOD JOB

-Nohlan H.

I like the way you use step-by-step process of thinking. Using your steps to reach your goal? What an awesome Idea! It is really awesome when people are organize to their work. I am pretty messy with my stuff too and the way I work, but SOMETIMES I make it somehow. Pretty organize and neat idea, Awesome.

-Jae J.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas. They are so hard to get right? Especially now that we are heading to college, we need lots of ideas to put in our college essay. I like the first sentence of your third paragraph. You are so right at that part. That writing comes natural. It's really is nice that we as an individual writes in a natural way. Nice Blog.

-Kathryn J.

That is just marvelous. You sir took that question to the next level. I mean, YOU used that question to question your life, your mortality, your future. I like that question "what DO I want to do with my life?". It is like a question that you and you alone can answer. It is really really nice how you conquered that question. So now that you are almost over with high school, what DO you want to do with your life? Nice blog, it made me think.

-Kyle J.

I really want to see that picture. I was your classmate last year and I want to see that picture and compare-and-contrast that picture to the Julie that I met last year. It is funny that you have wasted two weeks for that project. But I bet that a lot of ideas came into your head during that two weeks of RELAXATION... kidding. Isn't it nice that we are almost there?

-Julie L.

It is funny that you wrote that you were distracted to many things such as facebook. Me too, my brothers and sisters are so happy when they are annoying me during my homework and blogger. It is nice that you would change for the sake of writing well in the future. I hope to read your novels someday. But let us just start with blogging shall we? 

-Addie L.

Distractions, distractions, distractions. THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE!! WOAH! Facebook, siblings, MP3, Ipod, Cellphone, T.V., Friends, The chair your sitting on, Twitter, The computer, they are all keeping us from writing an essay or focusing on an idea. I really like the way you sacrifice the stuff that you do while writing an essay to focus on your essay. But have you ever wonder that, sometimes, distractions can or could give you inspirations? Well, just a thought. NCIE BOLG!

-Dajana M.

HAHAHA! You are so right. Beginnings really are such a pain in the rear end. But did you notice, sometimes, that when you started the first few sentences, ideas start flowing by? It is so common that a lot of us this days do their work at the last minute, so do not feel bad when your doing it, some of us (classmates) do homework at the last minute. It is fun when we are fighting against time.

-Jennifer M.

It is so nice of you to understand autistic people. When I was a kid, they thought that I was autistic. Anyway, I like the way you started Mimi's blog about autism. You gave another point of view to her idea that she had. And also, you gave another point of view from the blog that AngelaP made. Talk about the "Shadow Catcher" some of us *cough* me *cough* are fairly confuse to what or where this book is throwing us at. But thank goodness most of us starts to get to the rhythm to what the book is going at. I do not know what that book is, but I am curious.

You are so cute in that picture! *Ahem* I bet that book is pretty hard huh? but you still read it even though it was hard. Bravo to your perseverance! I tell you what, your MIND does not need to be complex to be creative; you're just creative in a unique way. So... CHIN UP!

I bow down to you ma'am. For you are one of those few which are very smart who persevere very VERY hard for college. I really like the way your divergent mind work in writing an essay. I really like the way you described the way your brain think- CHAOTIC! Nicely put. That is how the way most of us think (EVEN Mr. Allen, I guess... but don't tell him) I am really jealous because you guys are starting on your college essays. I think I am just scared to what I am going to write... maybe. NCIE BOLG.

Your "system" is really nice. The way you said that the first time we did a blog is so true. We pick the one that we know that we can write the most. It is really nice when you use the cycle as the way you think in our blog posts. I feel that way too, but in a more positive way. Hands down that big monitors are cool. You can work with two stuff at the same time. Do big monitors cause cancer? I do not know. Nice Blog, It is pretty humorous- it kept me reading.

Inspiration is everywhere right? I like the way you try hard when you are inspired. You are very smart to use ideas from songs, books, characters, or movies. I guess without them we would be less inspired right? Your title is outstanding. I like the technique that you do, I'll try that someday. awesome blog and pictures.

I am fascinated to what you wrote. You use other ideas to learn from it and make something from it. Your technique is well played and even though you know the weakness of it, you somehow struggled to displace it. Don't be sad when some blogs are better than yours, use those Ideas and put it to another level of thinking that you know that you can do. You also said that there are some ideas that you have not known that you have. Isn't that thrilling? Knowing some kind of talent that is within us, waiting for those times that can really give us a boost of knowledge and strength when needed. NCIE NCIE JOB on the blog post. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Metacognition: Inspirations

Ideas start in an inspiration, well, that's what I think. Different person has different ideas to what they do. They use music, an idol, a person, a poetry, a video, a joke, story, poetry, internet, and/or any single thing that your mind could possibly think in our abstract and crazy world as an Inspiration. My mind work according to inspirations that I get in my every day life.


When I start an essay, my mind is somewhere playing hide-and-seek. My playful mind laugh at me as I stare at the computer,  not even caring about the time, the temperature, or even if the house is in danger of some sort. I think and I think but nothing comes out. I can not even lift my hand and press a darn button. Every beginning is such a pain especially when I do not even know what to write: like right now, before I started this essay I researched the meaning of "Metacognition", because every time I write the word there is a red squiggly line that comes right under it assuming that I or YOU made a mistake. It is really hard for me to write an essay without inspiration, because I as the eldest son that have two brothers and a sister, can not concentrate for they seem to enjoy their anger to each other, as they scream around the house like we do not have any neighbors around. But all that change after I find my inspiration to write. Inspiration keeps me focus on my writing. It keeps me coming back. Also, along with inspiration, there is something that also keeping me to write. It is the positive energy around the house. For some reason, when I smile while writing an essay, it keeps me awake and optimistic. I am optimistic because maybe I could get an outstanding score while having fun writing an essay.


My inspiration to write this essay is the word INSPIRATION itself. It is the abbreviation of "Ideas Nailing Special Process of Imagination in Random Attention Toward Innovative Optical Non-sense", I just made that up. Without inspiration maybe I might not have made my other essays or blog posts before. Maybe without it, I might still be confuse or out of concentration. Thank you inspiration.
