A Father He Will Always Be

Things happen to our lives unplanned. Neither choosing my father is part of it. But then, I am so thankful I have. And, as I grow, I began to see what kind of person my father is, deeper and deeper. Now, times come when he is far away and I began to think of him as an observant person, supportive father and a leader that has one word.

One time, I looked at him looking at his people's work. He observes every move yet, no words are said. And if he is asked, he can say a lot of things about a certain person. I remember, I see him talk to workers and so, I realized his words are straight making him a good leader of businesses. My father is very supportive. There are times I ask permission to him and as long as I can do it, he does not go against, yet, he gives advise.

I apreciate his actions such as these. Because these things, these traits help us in life. And dad, he is a source of inspiration for all of us in this aspect. I love him as other daughters like me do. Because I won't ask another as he is anyway. A father he was, a father he will always be to me.

First Time? Strike Three!!!

Well, I got three stories today....

1st was about Chemistry. We have a rule that once you got low about the quiz in ions, you will stand or sing or dance. I was one of the lowest this Monday and was asked to stand. The next day, oh! my gosh! I studied hard yet I am once again at the bottom group, I mean bottom alone tis time. That's strike two. I worked hard again to study and luckily, I wasn't the last the third. That's what I thought at first but the next day, it was another strike after all.

Well, this is the second story, afternoon Friday when Tenten and Froiland told me and Justin that we are the contestants for Filipino. I was shocked because I wasn't prepared and they are going to ask us at the last hours. Well, Tenten had to go to Molecules and Froi to the try-out of basketball so we had nothing to do but to agree. I went there without knowing anything since its my first time joining. Well, I didn't take it seriously since Filipino for me is a tough subject. So then, I got 4 points out of ten at the first, 8 out of twenty on the secong and 18 out 30 the third. I was shocked when my name was called as fifth when the flag retreat came. I didn't expect that because I was just guessing the whole time but you know, thank God, it felt good.

I stroke the third this Saturday night in the debut of ny cousin. I wore that silly outfit chosen by my mother. I am not used to wear those kind of things. Well, I was one of those who will give a symbolic gift and tell why so. My mother so early bought already a gift, a glass, i don't know. Well, I was panning on other rhings but what can I do but to think of what to say already. There were other CNSHShians there so I'm a little bit shy that time on how I look. BUt good thing, I said something about that glass. Another thing I'm shy that time was I'm the tallest but I think I am the youngest. Well then, it's over anyway. What an experience! That's all I could say!

Well, full of 1st times yet could end up to the last beat. Yet, it could aso happen once more or even more than once but this is where I learn and this is where everything start a twist in a story.

Digging My Very Roots

I am Katrina Anne Marc Riman and perhaps, you know that. I have an older sister named Ma. Ann Dominique Riman and younger brothers named Stig Marcson Lance, Marcus Andjerome and Markuz Venedict Riman. We are now in Cavite where Mother has given us birth. My parents are Marcos Riman and Liwanag Cabrera. My father is from Cavite and works as a determined businessman. My mother was born in Makati and is a hardworking housewife. They met in Manila who knew each other as boardmates.

My father's father, Gregorio Riman was the child of Romeo Riman and Macaria Ognes who are housewife and a farmer and all lived in Cavite. My father's mother, Matilde Maloloy-on is from Cebu. Her father, Tiborsyo Maloloy-on was a farmer from Masbate. Tiborsyo's father, Gil Maloyloy-on was a fisherman from the same place. Matilde's mother. Ropina Rosales is the daughter of Banong Rosales, a farmer and Ularia Legaspi, a housewife who all are from Cebu. Gregorio was a farmer and a blacksmith who went to Manila and met Matilde who works as a vendor.

Meanwhile, my mother is the child of Ponciano Cabrera, an OFW originated on Bulacan and Gloria Santos, from Pampanga. Ponciano was the child of Agustin Cabrera, a carpenter and Inang Cabanding who are all from Bulacan. My mother's mother, Gloria, was the child of Tomas Santos, a Filipino Spanish who is a US veteran soldier who originated from Nueva Ecija and Consuelo Cuyugan from Pampanga. Consuelo was the daugther of Gorge Cuyugan and Ropina Santiago who are both from Pampanga.

Each of who are still alive goes to different places and a blood has been carried from our roots. Come to think of it. Each family like I do has come a long way and a long way will it still go.

Scary Week

Well, this week, we had our periodic test. And I guess, I am not the only one who's writing about it.
The night before, I studied in most of the subjects especially AP. I even made a reviewer of it at home. The next day, I took the tests and I can't answer as if I didn't do anything the night before. It was the same case the next day. After that I just clean and clean and clean the half of the day. It was thursday when we checked most of the papers and well, my scores were mostly low. My mother got mad at me and ended up blaming a lot of things. Well, it's okay. I'm used to it but I don't want to see her mad or feeling bad. Now, I have these new set of papers to be signed and is lower than the last time. I wonder what to do. I don't want her to be mad again.

REACTION:The Making of s Scientist

As I read it, I realized that this people met different things yet they all find success. They failed on something they wanted but then became a way for them to be where they are right now. THey said that the support of family is important and inspiration from other people as well.
According to the article, it all started when they begun to wonder and got interested on something. They say seminars and special schools are not that essential in sccess but they also help on being successful.

Well, I agree with this.

Today.

~JENNY~

She calls me baby
then she won't call me
Says she adores me
and then ignores me
Jenny
what's the problem

She keeps her distance
and sits on fences
Puts up resistance
and builds defenses
Jenny
what's the problem?

You leave me hanging on the line
Every time you change your mind

First You say you won't
then you say you will
You keep me hanging on
and we're not moving on
We're standing still
Jenny
You got me on my knees.
Jenny
it's killing me.

She needs her own space
She's playing mind games.
Ends up at my place
saying that she's changed
Jenny
what's the problem
I'm trying to read between the lines
You got me going out of my mind

First you say you won't
then you say you will
You keep me hanging on
and we're not moving on.
We're standing still
Jenny
You got me on my knees
Jenny

It's killing me
It's killing me
Jenny

First you say you won't
then you say you will
You keep me hanging on
and we're not moving on
We're standing still
Jenny
You got me on my knees
Jenny

First you say you won't
then you say you will
You keep me hanging on
and we're not moving on
We're standing still
Jenny
You got me on my knees
Jenny
It's killing me
It's killing me
Jenny

WAIT!!! The click five is not the main topic of this post!!!

It's about "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY"

Well it's a Thursday, July the third, when a bright morning sunshine woke me up. I remembered "its her day." How sad I have nothing to give but to greet when i got to school. Actually, 2 of them has a birhday, Ria as well. And more and more people greets them every minute.

Well, the clock hits 11:30, I eat with Dar every lunch. She said that she'll eat with Jenny today so the two of them with Jenna and Ajae walked out together. Dar soon called me over and let me come. I was kind of out of place but I am happy to see the "Jewel Sisters" together. We rode the van of Jenna and went to Mister Donut. She went home with her dad leaving the four of us alone. They ordered spaghetti, sadly only two was left so we went to Buns to buy two more. We went back to Mister and enjoyed the meal while we have our conversations. It was the celebrant's treat. ^^

Well, until the day ends I greeted her. I'm happy and thankful to everyone that day.

"Though it's kinda late but happy birthday!"

An abstract

Construction sites are major contributors to nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. However, a lack of personnel to enforce erosion control regulations and limited voluntary compliance means that few developers apply effective erosion control.
Research
Problem New approaches are needed to increase erosion control on construction sites if this source of NPS pollution is to be significantly reduced.
Body This study tests whether an economic advantage exists for developers who use vegetative cover for erosion control, independent of advantages gained in addressing environmental or regulatory concerns. Improving residential lot appearance from muddy brown to green grass may increase the appeal of the lot to buyers.
Results A market survey shows that homebuyers and realtors perceive vegetated lots to be worth more than unvegetated lots, and this increased value exceeds the cost of seeding.
Conclusion Thus, developers can now be encouraged to invest in vegetative cover because of the potentially high return on the investment.

The Air (a continuation of the preceeding post)

I cannot portray it properly but I am pertaining to air in movement or not...


I love it for I can relate to it....

One thing I like abou it is wherever you go, Though you can't see it, you can feel it and you know it's there...... it is the same as what I wanted to be.....

The wind blows freely, it dances to its own music with its own costume.....

It is the reason why seagulls fly and why trees sway. It is one reason that make our world not a boring place.

One more is that the air is what we need to breath though we really don't see that we keep on taking more of it until its gone..... it's like, sometimes what good things it does was not recognized by others until the time it is lost.....

and a lot more.... Its just that I feel like the wind....

"What Am I Living For?"

"What am I living for?"




There are times I wonder about different things about living. That is where questions start to form in my mind. These questions sort of, keep touching my mind in certain instances.

I once ask myself, "What am I living for?" And from then on, I asked myself the same question...

I am not sure about the reason why exactly I am here. But then, a man normally is afraid of dying for reasons like they don't want to leave anything behind or they don't know what's being "dead" like. They naturally do things according to what they believe about or according to a "does-not-want-to-fail" feeling that let people be scared of consequences. Well then, I can say it is one of my purpose of living. I live to take care and keep not only materials in life but also people whom are important. I live in order to do my duties in life.



"What am I living for?"



Well, it does not end there. Actually, a lot more awaits. I believe, we also live in order to be a part of a whole society on which if one lacks then it's not as complete as before. It means that life is also making a difference within people around you. It is contributing in the society even in our own ways.



"What am I living for?"



As we all know, we also live to improve, to discover more and to experience more and to feel more. We also live to serve ourselves, other people and of course, God. We also live because we are loved by some people and we love others as well. Well, to write all the purposes might not even fit to ten big books. It's just that life is so broad to be explained and no answer is considered right and wrong. Different people see different lives differently.




Me? "What am I living for?"

Well, I see myself as a sword that fights for things I believe in and to make my dreams come true. I see myself as an armor to protect things that are important to me. I see myself as a person of unique name, unique personality, unique as I am for each one is different yet similarities are there as well. You see, my purpose is to be myself for I can be the only one who can be me.


Too many explanations yet me, myself does not know what it says. "Purpose" is hard to understand nor to be explained yet answers are revealed as life goes on.




It was just now when I thought that maybe, life's purpose is to find an answer to the question where everything started and where everything will end.

To this question....."What am I living for?"
