Week 6: My Online World.

Internet brought us convenience. It brought us change. Change in our daily lives, and how we deal and interact with others around us. Internet is a very helpful tool in so many various ways. It helps people communicate no matter how far they are from each other. It helps people discover more about themselves. Just like what it did to me. When I discovered this blog site called Tumblr, I browsed for art blogs. Then I saw how awesome and interesting digital arts is. This influenced me to take AB Multimedia Arts as my college program. I thought that doing this vector art or digital art is one thing I enjoy and I don`t want it to be just my hobby, but to actually earn from it. I want to improve my skills and to enhance this talent that God entrusted to me. I want to be well known at this field. And I want people to appreciate this form of Art. Also, one of dreams is to inspire other people. Just like how I got inspired by Filipino artists I found on the net. Without internet, I`m probably lost by now, not knowing what to do with my life in the future.

Through internet, we can easily access different sites where we can socialize with other people all around the globe. We can even make new friends online. It is good to know how fast development in global communication is right now. Through the internet, we are able to discover more of the world we live in. We can socialize with other races with different culture and tradition than ours. Because of the internet, we can still keep in touch with our friends even though we are apart from each other. But we must always remember that internet also has its disadvantages. Some people use it in the wrong way. Proof of this are the pornographic sites and even satanic online games which are very popular to teenagers nowadays. It is in our hands if we will choose to make the right decision to use the internet in a rightful manner or use it in the wrong way. Also, we must be careful with the strangers we meet online, because the world is not a very safe place anymore. 

Internet gave me so much to be thankful for. It gave me the opportunity to discover more about myself and my interests. It enabled me to communicate with my treasured friends in just one snap. It gave me the idea of how I want to be in the future. 

INTERNET, THANK YOU. 

Week 5: My Second Home.

Being a part of the MMA Family is something I treasure a lot. It makes me feel like I found a place where I truly belong, surrounded by people I` am comfortable to be with most of the time. I` am grateful to be a part of this family, although it is not that big as the other college departments in our University. I am thankful to have this group of friends, this circle of awesome people and this one, loving famILY. Because of them, I `am motivated to do my best all the time and to actually exert the best effort I could give in every project or assignment given to us. Although we`ve been together for only quite some time, we knew each other very well. We understand each other`s mood swings, strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, limitations and a whole lot more. 

Even the higher levels from MMA are also great to be with. They gave us tips on how to manage our time properly, how to accomplish tasks more efficiently, and basically how to be a MMA student. They shared their achievements and personal experiences for us to learn from them. We had the MMA General Assembly last Thursday, July 19, 2012. We had a chance to talk about certain points about our soon-to-be MMA Society, which is awesome, and we shared the same room as our ates and kuyas in the MMA Family. They are fun, and energetic and very welcoming. 

Week 4: As One.

In life, we meet different kinds of people. We meet true and loyal friends along the way towards our dreams. Each day we spend with them is truly immeasurable. We always try to spend every minute with them as fun and exciting as possible. In college, finding new friends isn't  that easy. I have to socialize with people I don't even know. But, because I want to have fun and enjoy college, I`m trying to have close friends already. As time goes by, I immediately felt comfortable with my block mates ` companies. I`am trying to engage myself in talking even with the shy-type people in our class. Being a lycean is something I `am actually proud of. Lyceum is very warm and welcoming and it actually feels like my second home. Being a part of the CAS Department and our section, MMA 1-1, are incredibly awesome. It feels like I`m a part of this huge, happy family that consists of different people with the same interests and goal. And this is to be successful practitioner in our career path. To be able to do so, we need... TEAMWORK.


In everything we do, we do not do it all by ourselves. We do it with the help of other people around us. We need help and guidance from our family and friends. Teamwork helps us to improve the outcome of something we wish to do or to perform. In college, teamwork is a very important specially during group projects or presentations.It is the key to a more unified group work. Teamwork must be present so that you`ll come up with something productive. That is why I am so proud and happy that MMA 1-1 already have this tight bond even though we only knew each other for quite some time. MMA 1-1 is not just a section. It is a Family. A family consisting of people from different places bonded by the same dream and goal. Teamwork, cooperation and unity is present. 

Week 3: Communication in the Modern Era

The only thing constant in this world is change. As time goes by, people experienced changes that had a direct impact to our modern living nowadays. Our life is a lot more convenient than the lives of our ancestors. This is because of technology. Technology has been a great help to make our lives easier. Through technology, we are able to do things in a lesser amount of time. An example of this is the development of e-mails or electronic mails. Before, people have to write letters and let a mailman deliver that letter to the person addressed. Today, we could just type our message in a computer or laptop, have an internet connection, and we could easily send a message to someone anywhere in the world. See? Technology aims to help people do stuff in an easier way. It helps people to reach out the world with a simple click of a mouse.

The development of technology has been a great advantage for people. With the help of these technological innovations, we are able to discover more about the world we live in. As technology advances, the way of communication also develops.  Communication became more convenient for us. There is the availability for us to talk or chat with relatives or friends around the globe. But as a responsible student, I must learn how to use these technology in the right time and place. I must prioritize more important matters than to talk with friends online. We must use technology in a rightful manner. We must not use technology as a medium to hurt of humiliate others publicly. We must remember that the purpose of the innovation in technology is to help people communicate no matter how far they are from each other. Technology is great. Use it rightfully and do not abuse it.
