Being taught on KYSD

Being a student teacher for me is very difficult task for me and for all who have experienced it already. But being taught by a classmate during the “Know Your School Day” event is also difficult because it is to hard to understand the student teacher especially if he/she doesn't know the subject matter. But as you go on, you will find it fun especially when you see your friends in front of the class. For those who applied to a position, of course they had a great experience because they experienced how teaching is, its difficulties, and its fun stuffs. They also experienced how teachers feel during discussions and how it feels if they have really naughty students. I did not apply to any position so I didn’t have the chance to experience how teachers feel while they are teaching in front of students. Though, being taught by my fellow students is still a great experience for me.

Being taught by a fellow student is really a great experience. Having students teach fellow students really helps in some ways. There is a really greater interaction if students teach their fellow students. Students being taught are not that scared to ask questions to the student teaching because it’s their fellow student and they’ve been close friends because they are staying in one classroom and good friends have a great interaction with each other. Of course, if there is a great interaction, the students being taught will learn and understand the lessons easily and fast.

It is also helpful in the way that the teachers teaching are about our age and they know what students like during discussions and what they don’t like during discussions. Of course, teenagers really like to have fun. So, our student teachers made some games for us and of course the games are connected to the lessons. They also made the discussions fun, and not boring by making some jokes, and other fun stuffs. I really don’t want to get in a boring class. It really makes me sick. The students teaching us know how it feels when you are in a boring class because I know that they are experiencing that sometimes. So, the students teaching us made those games and other fun stuffs for us to enjoy the discussions and that really made me have some great fun!

Aside from having great fun, I also learned some new lessons from our discussions and I also learned some new teaching styles to use during discussions and I’m sure it will be a great help for me in the future. I also found out who among my classmates have a future of being a great teacher someday and I found few of them, but they are not that good yet. They also serve as an inspiration for me of being a great teacher someday because honestly, I really don’t know how to teach. I’m not that good in teaching. But I know that I will develop my skills in teaching and they will serve as my inspiration for now.

The best part during the event is the receiving of the awards. Receiving an award is really nice. Of course, all the students who taught us during the event received their own awards and I am really happy for them. Although I did not receive any certificate as an award, I still received a very important award. It is the experience of being taught by a fellow student.

I don't know if I can also be one of the student teacher for the next year because I'm shy to talk in front of your friends especially in front of your crush.

Reaction on "love is a fallacy"

The story is very long, very long yet it is very meanigfull. “Love is a Fallacy” is one of the best love stories I have ever read in my 14 year life. I really had a hard time understanding the story because of it's unfamiliar terms to me. But by reading it deeply, it makes me understand it much better and it makes me like the story so much. It talks about one reality in life, when you fall in love ,you are ready to give up everything you own. You will sacrifice your life for the one you love.

As I read the story,I really appreciated the main character. He must really be a nice,kind and sensitive. He did everything for the girl and choose to spend the rest of his life just for that girl he loved. That what we men should to the one you love!.But it still ends up that the girl choose the main character's friend over him,and the worst thing is that Polly choose Petey over him just because he had a raccoon coat. She only liked him just because of that material thing that made him belong to the “Tough Guy” in school, what a dumb reason,right? (But that's just my point )...But how can she choose Petey over this guy who did everything for her and was so true to his feelings? The guy who choose to be with her than Petey, the one she barely even know most especially when it talks about sincerity of love.

For me, love cannot bemeasure on the money and the things he will give to you. If he gives you flowers and chocolates or not. If he spends a lot on your dates and always treat you for a dinner and an outing. But love? It's how sincere the person is, of how a person is ready to sacrifice his/her happiness to the one he/she love. Most especially? It's not important for me if “my girlfriend” is famous and popular and is known to be one of the known girls, who got the cutest look and used to wear those cute bracelets,earings and other girl stuffs,but what matters most is that i know she is worth to be my girlfriend and I love her not just because of any material things but by the real her without those factors that makes her a“popular girl!”

I really don't have an idea why the story is entitled as “Love is a Fallacy”. Fallacy is defined as erroneousness, an invalid reference or the quality of being deceptive. But is love really a false motion? Maybe when people say that they are not ready yet for that love stuffs and they have their other priorities. But you never choose the person you fell in love to. Most especially you'll never know when that happens and why that happens. So, when love comes your way, you can never avoid it and especially love can never be a false motion because falling in love is beyond ourimaginations.Well,in some points of our everyday lives,things happen for a reason just when she knocks my door and let her in for she has a reason knocking my own door.

The story is reflecting on you. Sacrifice is the key so that the one you love will also love you.

What a UP student is not

UPian! Many people say that UP students are bright, smart, intelligent, and so on. In fact when people see a UP student, they expect a lot . Maybe, they think UP is the highest school in the Philippines and that UP students are the masters of the universe and that UP students are head of all. That’s a big mistake! UP students are not the head and masters of the world. They are just ordinary students trained well and taught well. Yes, we are a little advanced but that doesn’t make UP students head of other students in other schools. Maybe they just think that way because they don’t know what UP students really are.

UP students for me, are naughty. Yes, we are nauhgty. I can say that because many of my schoolmates, including me, always breaking the rules. Even on simple rules, they are not following it just like on forming straight line during flag ceremony. They just can't follow it. Almost all second year boys don't like to have haircut every month so we are always included in the list. UP students are always debating for what they are thinking is right aside ffrom just taking the truth.

Up students are also cheaters. I can say that we arecheaters because if we have assignments, we don’t do it at home. We do it at school so that we can copy the correct answers of our classmates. Up students are also dead liners. Yes. It is true. Whenever we have projects, there are just few students who pass their projects ahead. Most of them pass their work during the deadline and some even pass their projects days after the deadline. In fact there are also students just don't pass projects.

Another is that, UP students are not good in all subjects. In fact, many of us in our classroom are struggling to get a high grade in Mathematics which is the most difficult subject when you are in UP. This really is a hard subject for us. There are also students who are struggling in English. Not all UP students are good in speaking English. Many of us don’t know much in speaking English but we are still practicing and we are doing our best in order to develop our speaking skills. There are also many students especially in the second year who are struggling in the subject, Social Science. Bad to say but it is true. When I was in elementary, our social science was very easy but now in UP, it is very hard! I don't know what makes it difficult but it is.

Most of all, UP students are not shameful. In short, we have no shame! In fact, one fourth year student before told me that, if you enter UP, you should have no shame because it has no use. Before, during my elementary years, I am a shameful and silent kind of person and I am ashamed to show what I’m really is but as I entered UP, it seems like my face doubled or maybe tripled! I have slowly developed and got rid of being a turtle hiding in its shell. I now show people what really Allan is and what my real attitude is.

Now, think about it. Do you think UP students are what you are thinking? You better think twice.

summary of Max Schulman's Love Is a Falacy

Love is a Falacy by Max Schulman was so nice. The narrator in the story is logical, keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute. He is very brilliant and he was only eighteen. He has a room mate, named Petey, who is dumb. He is an emotional type, unstable, impressionable, and worst of all, a faddist.One afternoon, the narrator found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face. The narrator told him not to move and that he will call a doctor. But then, Petey mumbled the word raccoon. The narrator asked him what he is trying to say and he said that he needs a raccoon coat. The narrator asked him why he wants a raccoon coat and he said that raccoon coat are not nice but then he replied that he will do anything just to have a raccoon coat. Then, the narrator thought about Polly. Polly is Petey’s girl. The narrator likes this girl. Polly is a beautiful girl, gracious, and had an ease of bearing but not that smart. But he puts into mind that he can teach Polly about the things that she doesn’t know.Then, the narrator asked Petey if he has a special relationship with Polly but he said that they are not in a relationship but they are meeting sometimes. Then, the narrator got a bag and placed some things in it and he told Petey that he will go home.When he came back to the dormitory, he brought a raccoon coat for Petey. When Petey saw the coat, he was delighted and was very happy and he immediately asked what the payment is if he will have the coat. Then the narrator told him that he will have the coat if he can have Petey’s girl, Polly. Petey replied that he doesn’t agree with him. But not long after, Petey could not stop his self, he really likes the coat. And so, he agreed with the narrator and they made a deal.Then, the narrator immediately asked Polly for a date out. First, he took Polly to eat dinner. After eating, Polly said, “Gee, that was a delish dinner,". Then he took her to a movie. "Gee, that was a marvy movie," she said as they left the theater. And then he took her home. "Gee, I had a sensaysh time," she said as she bade the narrator goodnight.He felt bad and decided to give Polly back to Petey but then he decided to try and teach Polly. He wants to teach Polly how to think. In their next date, he took Polly to the Knoll and Talk. "Oo, terrif," said Polly after hearing that they’re going over to the Knoll and Talk. Polly asked what they will talk about and then he said that they will talk about logic."Logic," he said, clearing his throat, "is the science of thinking. Before we can think correctly, we must first learn to recognize the common fallacies of logic. These we will take up tonight."He taught Polly about fallacies and cited some examples but at first, Polly was confused and did not understand but in the last kind of fallacy, she was able to think and answer correctly. This fallacy was about “Poisoning the Well”.After that night, the narrator decided to ask Polly’s decision to go steady with him. But in every thing he said, Polly was able to answer him a fallacy that he taught her and he was really impressed. But Polly said that she will not go steady with him. She told him that she will go steady with Petey. Then the narrator compares his self to Petey. He said that he is brilliant and Petey is not but Polly told him that he is poisoning the well. The narrator then asked why she chooses Petey and she said that "He's got a racoon coat."

My top 3 FaVoRiTe SonGs By M.C.R.

My Chemical Romance is really a great band for me and also for all EMOs out there. They made hits that really touch our heart. We can really relate on their songs. Three of their songs really touched me when I'm listening to it so I just wanna let you know the lyrics of these songs so that you will really understand.

One is the song "ghost of you". It describes the feeling when you will be away from your loveones. The song goes this way:

I never said I’d lie in wait forever
If I died, we'd be together now
I can’t always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I, should I
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever, ever, ever
Get the feeling that you’re never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs, in my arms she dies
She dies
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I, should I
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I, should I
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I, should I
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna

Another is "I'm not okay". It talks about on revenging to the people treating you bad.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot
From jumping out the second floor
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again
You sing the words but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time
Take a good hard look
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you'd read me like a book
But the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay
(Trust me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)

The most touching song is the "welcome to the black parade". I don't know the messege but I like the way they sing this song. The song goes this way:

When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know.
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it.
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)
Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry on)
Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on)
Go and try, you'll never break me (We'll carry)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)

The history Of The DrUm Set

I want to be a drummer someday so I am wondering where did this instrument came from. A drum kit (or drum set or trap set) is mostly a collection of drums, cymbals and sometimes other percussion instruments arranged for convenient playing by a single drummer.
The drummer uses drum sticks to strike the drum head and to create a vibration. Bass drum pedals are used for the bass drum. The hi-hat is usually controlled also by a pedal, connected via a stand.
Early drum kits were known as traps (from contraption). Though this term is now uncommon, it survives in the term trap case still given to a case used to transport stands, pedals, sticks, and miscellaneous percussion instruments, still commonly called traps.
Early kits usually consisted of a bass drum, a snare drum on a stand, a small cymbal and other small percussion instruments mounted on the bass drum or a small table, all played with drum sticks or brushes except for the bass drum. This drum is operated with one or more mechanical pedals. Due to being played with the foot (and to help distinguish from the bass guitar or string bass), the bass drum is also often referred to as the "kick" drum. The drum set was not invented by one person, but instead was developed by a number of people who made various contributions to it. For example, Ulysses Leedy contributed the adjustable snare drum stand and pearl coverings which made a difference in the appearance of the drum set. Robert Danly invented the throw-off snare strainer which also made it easier to turn the snare on and off during drumming. William F. Ludwig built a foot pedal that could withstand high speeds so people could play the bass drum faster. The hi-hat contribution came after the snare drum stand and the foot pedal. The inventor of the hi-hat is not certain, but Barney Walburg may have been responsible. Papa Jo Jones was one of the first and greatest artists of the hi-hat. All of these different parts formed a full drum set as we know it today.
The first drums sets were made differently than they are currently made today. The rims of the first drums were made of wood. Later, some people started to make metal rims. Instead of drum stands, the drums were all attached to a large bass drum on metal racks. Drummers took anything they could think of and put it on the tray, called the traps, on top of the metal rack.
The first drums used calfskins for the drum heads, but they broke easily. Many people started making plastic heads for drums that would hold up better, but some plastic heads were better than others. Marion Evans invented the first plastic head in the mid-1950s. The Evan’s Heads Company was later formed. In 1957, Remo Belli and Sam Muchnick together developed a plastic head that became the most popular head. Remo Belli was the world’s leading producer of plastic heads.
Cymbals were introduced to the drum set when people found a way to hang them above the drum set. The first cymbals that people used were cheap, small, and were suspended from curtain cords. When Zildjian cymbals began to be produced in the United States in 1929, higher quality and larger cymbals were available, but they were still suspended from curtain cords. Gene Krupa, a famous drummer, finally invented a stand for the cymbals because the curtain cords could not hold the larger cymbals properly. As cymbals became more popular, Zildjian started producing more cymbals of different types, sizes, and sounds. Drum sets started to expand because more cymbals could fit around the drum set because of the stands.
The history of cymbals in the United States comes from the Zildjian family. The first Zildjian cymbals were made in Turkey in 1618 by Avedis Zildjian. The history of modern day cymbals began in 1929 when Avedis Zildjian III set up a Zildjian cymbals company near Boston. Producing the Zildjian cymbals was a family tradition that was passed down from father to son. The Avedis Zildjian Company eventually became the world’s largest producer of cymbals. Before Avedis Zildjian III died, he passed the secret of making Zildjian cymbals to his two sons’, Armand and Robert. Robert later left the Zildjian Company and formed the famous Sabian Cymbal Company in 1981.

AgEnT ZeRo0Oo!.!.!.!.

Agent Zero is here! My favorite basketball player is him. Gilbert Jay Arenas Jr. (born January 6, 1982 in Florida) is an American professional basketball player currently with the NBA's Washington Wizards. Arenas is of Cuban-American and African-American descent. Arenas was most often nicknamed "Agent Zero," but has increasingly been referred to as "The Hibachi." Both names have quickly become fan favorites in Washington. Arenas overcame his modest NBA debut, including being a second round draft pick, to establish himself as one of the most dominant players in the NBA.
From the time of his entry into the league, Arenas's popularity soared. He transformed himself from being a relative unknown to being voted by fans as an All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference in 2007. Arenas overcame a 213,000 vote deficit at one point to edge out Vince Carter by just over 3,000 votes for the second of the two starting guard spots, the other spot going to Dwyane Wade.

While going into the 2001 NBA draft out of the University of Arizona, Gilbert didn't seem to be much of a prospect. Teams in the first round passed on Arenas because he lacked the size needed at the shooting guard position in the NBA and lacked the awareness and ball handling skills of a point guard. With no position solidified and a shaky prospect at best, he went the entire 1st round without being drafted. The Golden State Warriors finally drafted him in the second round (31st overall). Although the Warriors did not enjoy much team success during Arenas' tenure with them, he quickly established himself as one of the league's bright young talents. In 2003, his second year in the league, Arenas received the NBA Most Improved Player Award. After that season, he was one of the most sought-after free agents of the NBA. He signed with the Washington Wizards, reportedly after flipping a coin to decide among several teams, including the Wizards, Warriors, and Clippers.[4]
Arenas had a disappointing first season with the Wizards, battling a strained abdominal muscle injury all season. However, Arenas enjoyed great success in his second season in Washington. He teamed up with shooting guard Larry Hughes (22.0 points per game) in 2004-05 to give the Wizards the highest scoring backcourt duo in the NBA and was selected to his first NBA All-Star Game. He guided the team to a 45-win season and its first playoff berth since 1997. Arenas led the team in scoring with 25.5 ppg, and finished seventh in the league in that category. He also finished sixth in the league in steals per game in 2004-05 with 1.74 (Hughes led the league with 2.89 steals per game).
Known for his fierce competitiveness and somewhat unusual behavior, Arenas quickly became a fan favorite in Washington. In the fifth game of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in 2005, Arenas hit a 16-foot fadeaway as time expired to give the Wizards a 112-110 victory over the Kirk Hinrich-led Chicago Bulls. On January 3 of the 06-07 season, Arenas hit a 32-foot buzzer beater to win the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, 108-105. Two weeks later on Martin Luther King Day he hit yet another buzzer-beating three pointer to beat the Utah Jazz, 114-111, in a thriller at the Verizon Center. He also hit a game winning layup as time expired to beat the Seattle Supersonics on March 22, 2007.

I don't know if I will be just like him but i will just continue on watching on him slamming the ball in the hard court during his games.
