09/01/12 Low-Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry #13: "First Day of September, A Clean Day to Remember"

                 Today is the 1st day of september; and this is one of the best day to begin rejuvenating Mother Nature's lost light. Today, I am planning to clean my surroundings, starting with out house. I want to start my day with helping sweeping the floor and watering the plants.
                  This last school week, our classes was, then again, interrupted due to the NCAE Examination of the higher year levels, particularly the 3rd and 4th year students. But, while some of our teachers are gone, I still practiced eco-friendly acts while they're not around like putting trash everywhere to the trash bin and if can, segregate it.
                   I sure hope that I helped maintain Mother Nature's cleanliness through the efficiency of my small practices.

08/28/12 Insights and Reflections about the term "Tropical Cyclone"

     Today, I have learned that...          
             - A Tropical Cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that in time, produces strong winds and heavy rainfalls. Tropical Cyclones is also said to grow in terms of strength when water vapor from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, eventually leading to condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air produced. 

II. I will apply my learnings about...
            - Tropical Cyclones and different factors that affects the said phenomenon's strength in terms of rainfall duration and count, likewise.

III. Learning about this phenomenon is important because...
            - In this cases, we may relate our past learnings, particularly about LPAs, ITCZs, Monsoons and other atmospheric phenomenons, on whether the said calamities do affects or it, itself is one of the factors of which affects the strength of Tropical Cyclones in a specific duration of time over a particular area.

IV. On a larger scale, I will share my learnings on these phenomenons because...
            -By this, I can spread the knowledge of which may come in handy, practically during these said phenomenons, in terms of awareness and readiness.

V. I need to know more about...
            -  Tropical Cyclones and the factors that we may consider that affects it's strength and otherwise, it's subsidence.

08/25/12 Low Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry # 12: Tiring yet fun week"

            This last school week, we held many school activities involving about Nationalism/ "Pag papahalaga sa sariling nasyon" by starting off with our country's soul (Wika). After the said succession of events, trashes were scattered everywhere near our room for the events took place near our room area. Thus, by considering the fact that we also help to save Mother Nature even by the smallest mean to do it, I helped in cleaning the said area wherein the evnts took place. I also disposed my grabages properly, whereas I segregate my wastes accordingly. I also refrained from using fans during cold nights to save electricity.
               I surely hope I helped in saving Mother Nature as efficient as I can.

08/19/12 Low Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry #11: "A clean, normal week"

       This last school week, we had many school activities done and still some are even apparently doing it now. Even though it is only the start of the second grading period, our subject classes teachers gave us, II-A students, a big surprise for the said quarter. Nevertheless, I still did not forgot to help save Mother Nature even by the least to most efficient way to do it or contribute to it.
        I still did not forgot to practice some activities to help lessen energy consumption, and some of the alternative ways to do so.  I always turn off the light and fans when they are not in use. In cool nights, I just let the cold wind to reduce and replace heat in my room.I also do not use fans when the air is cool enough. When using the computer, I take the time to rush my research or assignments that relies on internet connection to shut it down and help lessen our monthly electrical bill.
        I surely hope that I contributed to the conservation of Mother Nature as efficient as I can.

08/12/12 Low Carbon Diet (LCD) Journal Entry #10: "One Heavy Monsoon week"

          This last week, the tropical monsoon "Habagat" surprised all of us, Filipinos, from the strength it showed us and the cataclysmic effects it has brought to our country. Many places in Luzon, particularly the lower ones, were flooded unexpectedly. Some areas even experienced human-height floods and furthermost, other areas were flooded exceedingly among other places. Yet, no cataclysm may stop me from helping to save Mother Nature even if Mother Nature itself is pushing us down in means of such phenomenon called Ecological Backlashes, which we may say is happening now.
          I still practices some eco-friendly acts that may help to save mother nature even by little means of not using any fans or cooling appliances for the air itself is cool and humid enough, I also use a glass in brushing my teeth in order to minimize unnecessary water loss/spillage.
          I do hope I help to save Mother Nature this rather stormy week.

08/03/12 Low Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry #9: "Decisive yet fun eco-friendly week"

               This last tiring week, we took our quarterly Periodical Exams. I was very exhausted both physically and mentally. Also, I were to lie if I say that I am no longer tired and exhausted. But still, I managed to get through the week while also considering Mother Nature's cleanliness and conservation.
                Even though I spent the week mostly reviewing my notes, I still did not forgot to help sustain and maintain the order and cleanliness of Mother Nature. Every time I review, I turn off any other materials and appliances that may disturb/hinder my review of my past learnings.I also do not simply throw the papers I use when mistakes and errors are observed on my answer sheet. Instead, I put it in the sack container where it will be donated to the III- A students for recycling matters.
                 I surely hope that I helped to save Mother Nature even by my small ways of doing it.
