Over-population In The Philippines (Cause and Effect)

The Philippines is already experiencing over-population. Our country is one of the most over-populated country. It is the 12th most over-populated country in the whole world. Many of the people here in the Philippines, especially teenagers, are engaged in prostitution and pre-marital sex, which is two of the most common causes of over-population.

Over-population is existing and increasing because also of poverty. Many of the female teenagers nowadays tend to sell "themselves" just for money, so that they will be able to have something for their expenses, and in some cases, for their school fees and/or their families. In fact, because of these things Philippines is also starting to suffer from some diseases, such as, AIDS, STD, HIV, and also malnutrition - only common to some parts or provinces of the Philippines.

Our Time Is Up (Movie Review)

The movie is all about a psychiatrist who sticks to his everyday routine. He is a very organized person that he always see to it that his "things" are all in place and organized.

In the movie, it is shown how he consults different kinds of people who has different personalities and has different traumas and problems in life. At first, he talked to them one by one and let each and every one of them share what are their problems, and what they are afraid of. On the second consultation that the psychiatrist conducted, he actually let the people face their fears. He did some activities that would help his patients overcome their traumas, and some treatment (conversation) and sharing of his personal insights and suggestions.

The movie is somehow comedy. It is funny because of the way the psychiatrist treated his patients, and how each and everyone of them reacted. At the end, all his patients thanked him for his effort and patience that he dedicated for them. Because also of his patients, he learned and realized that he has already no "room" for himself. He changed and did things the other way around. He did things on what he is comfortable with, not anymore following his everyday routine.

A Blog

Blog - the most common task we are assigned to do in our ENGLONE and BUSCOMP classes. To be honest, I am not fond of writing, nor blogging. I do not enjoy it and most of the time, I'm having a hard time thinking of what I will write in my paragraphs. Also, when writing, I tend to get mental block and ending up in a very short paragraphs. I tend to forget some things or informations that may help me in what I am writing. Just like now, I don't know what to say anymore. Haha. Anyway, writing compositions everyday in class and uploading blogs in the internet weekly helped me be more interactive in terms of writing. I just realized that I am now, somehow, beginning to like writing in some ways. Maybe because, eventhough I'm not that good in writing, I am able to share some things about me and I am able to express myself.

Nonsense

Why settle for any old chip when you've got real tortilla chips - Jack n Jill Tostillas Nacho Cheese? Monster size chips that give a distinct roar of a crunch and a mouth-tickling cheese flavor that will leave your funny bones wanting for more. Definitely a snack worth scampering for. So don't just stand there with your tongue lolling from side to side. Grab a fist full of chips and get cracking!

Nothing much important about this entry. I just wanted to promote and share what is written on the pack of what I am eating right now, Tostillas! Haha! Anyway, thanks for reading my non-sense entry. Hehe. Get cracking! Have a nice day!

UAAP and NCAA (Comparison and Contrast)

UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines) and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) are two popular leagues or associations here in the Philippines. They are both facilitating and handling sports competitions of different universities and colleges.

UAAP, established in 1938, is a sports association of eight universities in the Philippines. It is held every year from July to October (first semester sports) and from November to March (second semester sports). The sports being competed are, basketball, volleyball, chess, judo, swimming, taekwondo, table tennis, cheerdance, baseball, football, softball, tennis, track and field, badminton, and fencing. It is composed of eight competing universities, namely the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila, University of the Philippines-Diliman, University of Santo Tomas, University of the East, Far Eastern University, Adamson University, and National University.

NCAA, founded in 1924 , 14 years before UAAP was established, is the largest collegiate athletic organization in the world. It is also held every year from June to October here in Philippines. It has the same sports that UAAP facilitates, but participated by colleges, and is "imported" only from the United States. It is also competed by eight colleges, namely Letran, DLS-CSB, Jose Rizal University, Mapua, PCU, San Beda, San Sebastian, and the University of Perpetual Help System.

12 & 32

Twelve and thirty-two are my two favorite numbers. I only "declared" them my favorites when I was in first year highschool. Anyway, I got both those numbers from my whole name: Heinz Kristian Buenaventura Nicolas. Here's the way how I got them.

Thirty-two; it simply because my whole name has thirty-two letters all in all. And for the number twelve, I only got it from the syllables of my whole name. Actually, it only has eleven syllables in it (heinz-kris-tian-bue-na-ven-tu-ra-ni-co-las). I just changed the way my middle name is being syllabicated (heinz-kris-tian-bu-e-na-ven-tu-ra-ni-co-las). Get it?

Another reason is that, on the number 12, when you exchange the places of the two numbers; 1 and 2, it will become number 21, also the number of Kevin Garnett, one of my favorite NBA players. Same to the number 32, when you also exchange the places of the numbers 3 and 2, it will become number 23, also the number of my most favorite NBA player, Michael Jordan.

If you notice, both numbers have the number 2. It is because 2 is also my birthday, December 2, and December is also the 12th month of the year.

I had difficulty in explaining it, I just hope understood it. Thanks for reading.

Rabies

ra·bies

n. an acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease of most warm-blooded animals, especially wolves, cats, and dogs, that attacks the central nervous system and is transmitted by the bite of infected animals.

In Pasig, two weeks ago, I was accidentally bitten by our two month-old puppy. Good thing, I only got a very very small wound on my right foot and it did not even bleed. To be sure, my mom and I went to RITM (Research Institute for Tropical Medicine) in Alabang, Muntinlupa City last September 23 to know what are we going to do for me to be properly treated because of a possible exposure to rabies. On that same day, I already had five injections. While two injections on each of the succeeding days. I had my third day lately, this afternoon and I have two more days left, that is equivalent to four more injections. Actually, hindi siya masakit, nakakapanghina siya.

I hope this simple blog entry let you know how many injections are needed to treat a possible exposure to rabies. So, BEWARE OF DOGS.
