Life Online.:)

It's exactly 8:15 and I'm done encoding my 5 outputs and making this blog.Actually I thought it was easy as 1..2..3 but it didn't came out that way.I had to be familiar with the tools here in blogger since I'm still a newbie however the new things that I learned here made me loved technology more.
 I know there are alot of professional bloggers there who is even making money out of their blogs.I wonder if I could be like them and put my blogging as a part time job.LOL.But I still have to learn a lot of things inorder to be one of them.
  It really took me patience on encoding my outputs here in our computer.Instead of spending my leisure time with my friends,I'm stuck here in our computer room doing my blog.My mom even scold me why I was facing the computer for the whole day..However it is a great opportunity for me to express my thoughts and feelings to the world through my blog which I will really owe to my English teacher,Mrs.Boniao.

 It's good to know that such site exist.The world can now hear our tiny voices in just a few seconds.It's amazing how technology can do this and I'm happy I'm part of those people who are previleged enough to speak in behalf of the youth.
 I hope sooner or later more people will be more engaged in blogging because it's a really interesting thing to do rather than just chatting with friends about nonsense things.I also hope BLOGGER would be a good way of sharing informations and not ruining other's reputation.
 Oh well,I'll end here now.Bye!See you in my next blog.:)

The bells of the church is calling us not only to go to church but is knocking our hearts to remember the true essence of having Christmas As we gather in churches on Christmas,we should remember to thank God for sending his Son to redeem us and filling our hearts with love.Hopefully we will not only share the value of Christmas this month but we should always show it all year round.

I really love watching old pictures from my grandpa and grandma.I admire how wonderful their clothes were and how good looking all of them had been.In each picture you could see how well educated they were and I know just by one look how they often give importance to their values their parents bestowed to them.An important factor that the youth of today didn’t value—OUR MORAL VALUES.
          What by then is values?From our Christian living subject values is defined as something we give importance to that’s why we do things whether it is right or wrong to show how significant that thing is.Values help you to distinguish what is right from what is wrong and inform you on how you can conduct your life in a meaningful way.
  Today's youth are the most sexually promiscuous generation ever, engaging in sexual activities as young as 10-11 years of age, with teenage pregnancies the highest ever and on the rise.
     Youth participation in criminal activities are on the rise and offenders are getting younger and younger. More and more children are becoming involved in violent crime and even organized crime. Gangster ism is alive and well and thriving on the backs of ever younger and more impressionable members
Scholastic standards and academic prowess is plummeting among the youth and more and more schools and colleges are experiencing discipline problems. Under aged drinking is a huge problem, so is drug abuse and obesity. The list is endless and the picture bleaker and bleaker as the years go by.
    Growing up in a society that teaches tolerance, not moral standards and behavior, but tolerance; as accepting differences in behavior and standards without right or wrong. They are taught to stand for nothing and as a result they fall for anything. "You are entitled to the way you feel and no one can tell you that you are wrong and you should express your feelings...", sounds familiar?
         We allow a teenager to make a decision on terminating the life of a child, without having the emotional maturity or understanding to even begin to comprehend the magnitude of her decision. We accept sexual promiscuity as a fact of life and teach them to be "safe", squandering their precious gift of virginity, having no grasp of fidelity or what it takes to make a marriage work.
        We teach them that only winners are acceptable and thus they will do anything to win. No one wants to be a "loser".
                 Today's society is one where the boundaries are non-existent, ethics a word in the dictionary, truth something our parents used to believe, constant change to be desired and the pursuit of pleasure the way to go. Everybody wants to be happy, no matter the cost, invariably at someone else's expense.
                     Our children enjoy rights, with no responsibilities and ever dwindling accountability. They are seen as individuals and taught to act and plan accordingly. The result: a supremely selfish generation that indulges in irresponsible and destructive behavior.

This song is really meaningful.It's a guy who want's to make a difference even if he knows the consequence ahead.A must listen song.:)ENJOY!

“Thank you Ma'am" by Langston Hughes is a fictional third person narrative. I honestly believe that this is a wonderful story.
Roger is a young boy that doesn't have a father figure to guide him though his adolescent life. Roger has nobody to tell him what to do and when to do it..The author just simply showed us how life is when you don’t have your parents around you to guide you from the right path.It made me come up to a realization on how unfair life is.I myself is lucky enough to have my parents with me to show me what’s right and what is wrong.Roger lived an awful life on the streets.What he sees is right and will satisfy his pleasure is what he often does.At a young age the people around him already has influenced him and blinded him the truth.Those people who are fond of stealing and lying. A person who is raised like Roger has a tendency to only do the right thing when someone is watching.

        The author used setting to show the theme. “‘It was about eleven o’clock at night and she was alone” The setting tells us that  nobody is around to see the boy steal the pocketbook. This part of the setting shows how there is nobody watching.It was dark so Roger was confident enough to steal the pocketbook  from the lady.

I enjoyed the climax best out of Thank You Ma'm because it was very surprising. I was eager to find out the turning point of the story. For example,after an character name Roger stole Ms. Luella bates Washington Jone's purse she took him to her home and allowed him to wash his face and get something to eat. This was very surprising to me because I thought that she was going to send him to jail, but instead she treated him really nice and gave him something that he needed.

Equally important to why I like the climax best out of Thank You Ma'm is because the way Luella Bates Washington Jones acts. She reminds me of my grandmother. The way she reacted in that situation is in a way that my grandmother would have. She would be strict at first but later on lighten up and be nice. I like that about Thank You Ma'm because it has a realistic feel. It allows you to compare what a real person would do if a problem like that occurred in someones regular life.

        It was very interesting. I liked how the author made Luella Bates Washington Jone's character come out to be nice and caring. It was almost like her type of character was not meant to be that way, but Langston Hughes pulled it off so good that Luella Bates Washington Jones fitted perfectly into the story. The way she handled the Roger situation was unbelievable.

When she gave him the money at the end, he was delighted and managed to say, “Thank you, m’am.”   In my opinion, she does this as a way to teach him a lesson.   The lesson in this case may be that if you are in search of something you want, stealing is not a good decision, and that there are people out there to help you.
These examples are just true for this story this is true for everyday life like you always chose what you want and always think of the consequence that what happened of the choice that you are going to make and the things that you already made. The lesson this story portrayed was doing the right thing even when no one is looking.

          Mrs.Jones are just one of the people that are rare to find.She might be poor like the others but she always does things the right way and she’s always out there to offer her hands to those who needs her.


I loved the story Thank You Ma'm. It was very surprising, realistic, and interesting. It actually made me think about my life and how to treat people with love and respect.
