"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.
