The Incredible Prezi

     Below is the  link of my first Prezi presentation on my new account. I am not really good about this whole Prezi stuff but I think I've done as much as my basic skills could suffice. It is all about the computer and I hope you enjoy it.

More Than the Sum of Its Parts

              
             Art must have been the most fascinating way of people’s expressing everything on their minds. Last Christmas, we had our own blast which I really considered one of the finest oeuvre I had with a team.

           Christmas is unity – that is the main message of our Christmas decoration for me. We took a rough road accomplishing such prize. We had spent a day to think about the concept and arrived to different ideas that made us more confused. It was even harder when we started the real work because it wasn’t easy dealing with every little detail plus our funds were low so we have to utilize anything we can get from our surroundings without buying.

Everyone had their own role and we equally shared the struggles. Our hands were burned by the glue, our shirts got dirty with dyes and paints, our legs were numb, and the worst is that our eyes were really giving up because of the exhaustion. However, this was the best part for me. We still had managed to laugh and smile with each other even though our bodies are already saying no. This was because we believed that everything would soon be fine if we will just work as one and indeed, we made it successfully in the end.

One thing also that comes in my mind whenever I see our decoration, every now and then, is the resourcefulness of our group, which made me realized that celebrating Christmas is also like that. To feel the real spirit of Christmas – to enjoy and to love, does not rely on how grand or luxurious the celebration would be. We don’t need to spend much money in order to have big feasts, a simple dinner would be enough as long as we make the most time of it for having fun with our family.

          Our Christmas decoration turned out to be great from magazines, newspapers, and other scraps that we’ve collected from different trash bins. We didn’t spend much but we were able to satisfy our eyes with marvelous hues and lovely patterns in the end of hardships. It was all worth it.

          For me, that precious Christmas decoration sums up the essence of the real Christmas – contentment, unity, and love. It is more than the sum of its parts.

A Day of Spectacle and Exploration


       JHANYRO INTERACTIVE EXHIBIT 

        Nothing touches my imagination more deeply than the fact of learning things through the marvels of sight. 

Work Shop Station
  It was in the 22nd day of November when the whole class finally went out of the school for an edifying experience, the Jhanyro Interactive Exhibit. The experience was quite great. I had the chance to learn new things as well having fun with my friends and classmates. We went to three stations where we had filled our eyes with different delights. 

3D Film Viewing
          In the first station, we witnessed how things behind the camera on films, especially fictions, would actually look like. Some of our classmates and teachers acted as if they were the actors and actresses. Some of them danced, made themselves as ghosts, and others flew up above the clouds like Superman. All of these things were made possible because of the green screen, which is new to me.

The Art Gallery
In the 3D film station, we watched a film about the effects of global warming. We have seen how wonderful the Earth was before and how awful it would be in the future when the doom comes. For me, I haven’t seen the reality since I have also felt it with those 3D animations. I have learned a lot and it was good. 

Human Tickler
          The last station was the art exhibit on astronomy and global warming. There were displays on the eight planets in our solar system where we had some lecture. I have also experienced the human tickler for the first time in my life in this station. Now, I know how being electrified would feel like. In the last part, we had the chance to take some photos of ourselves in their fascinating large images of animals and other arts that would really appear realistic on cameras. 

  All in all, the exhibit was a spectacle. For one more time, I got that opportunity to experience such rare activity here in our place. Thanks to Jhanyro Events Management Services, I was able to feed my mind with more interesting thoughts.

She is counting on us
My own scientific POV on “The Human Impacts on the Environment”

          Doomsday clock is about to strike 12. It’s time to act!

          From extreme events to melting glaciers, from disappearing biodiversity to rising sea levels, and from acidifying oceans to the early arrival of spring, everyone must now realize that the tick-tock of the clock means Mother Earth is counting on us.

        We humans are informed that Earth is the only place for flora and fauna to live in and therefore reminds us to protect our environment and to live in peace and harmony with nature. But some seems to pretend not to see the tears and madness of Mother Earth.

          Everyone has been reckless and has always wanted to have more and more from nature without thinking the risks, without thinking about her side. Instead of thanking God for the precious gifts, man has learned to abuse and destroy it.

          Ondoy, Pablo, Sendong, Yolanda, and many other typhoons were undoubtedly devastating to every Filipinos. Those typhoons and many more calamities worldwide have caused many hearts to crush and many tears to fall but aren’t those Mother Earth’s way of telling us “vengeance is mine”?

          According to studies, humans and their activities can constitute a serious threat to the environment, just as natural processes can pose a potential danger to people. Much damage has resulted from atmospheric pollution associated with industrialization, particularly in support of wealthy, developed nations.

          The ozone layer depletion, which is caused mainly by the emission of carbon molecules and other greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other human activities, contributes to the global warming which greatly affects all spheres on Earth.

          Changes resulting from global warming include rising sea levels, submerging low-lying islands and lands near coasts (lithosphere), due to melting polar ice caps, the loss of potential water sources (hydrosphere), as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events (atmosphere).

          Moreover, these changes have paved way for some species of plants and animals to become endangered or worst become extinct (biosphere).

          The causes of these problems and their solutions are involved with humans. More mindful attention is needed in anticipating these changes and the differential vulnerabilities of different places. We must use our intelligence to find ways to assimilate the changes needed to respond on environmental damages and to make the planet bearable for every life form.

          This is a challenge to everyone. Do something for Mother Earth to smile and for God to be proud of. Forget selfishness and greed, and save our resources. Preserve and conserve the wonders of Earth.

          Together, let’s bring back the doomsday clock to normal. Be concern and act before hope turns to despair.
