When Birds Sanctuary Becomes Meager





We regard a home to be complete with the members of the family around. Additional flags could be a garden, appliances, pets and a place to neutralize emotions, like trees, bearing or not bearing. Under their shades you can articulate your long awaited story of anger and annoyance in life.

Our garden at home is just enough to accommodate our contentment, surrounded by limited varieties of flowers with our overflowing care. Setting our alarm clock do not bother us, since the early hums of birds awakens us each day. There are those most friendly birds which hum on the rear side of our window, on top of mango tree. Others are mostly on top of Balimbing fruit bearing tree (Filipino fruit bearing tree), and wow! How sweet thus they hum, as if they confer an early vocation for the day. They are I think four if not five, because the alternating hum flash in the different part of that tree. The first mentioned birds on top of the mango tree till us the early break of dawn and the later are entail the shine of the day. The humming fastened as the sun rise up, hasten them to find foods. As their song vanished, we too move for work. I observed number of their variety with different characters. One group try to mingle with us and we call them Chinese bird though I do not know how it is being derived. Others are we call them Salayn, which they really are fond of playing on top of trees, up then down. I saw also few which only hum late in the afternoon and go after sunset.

It was weekend and I’m retiring from a long week. I satisfy my self by glancing at my garden, checking every discomfort they might have in my absence. I realize that some birds were still there on top of the trees but not humming nor conversing but too busy scrutinizing their poise. I was amused and I move further to the other side of my garden. For just a few of touch, I’m done with my early tasks in the garden. I have to leave and unwind for my computer passion. I past through the kitchen and prepare my breakfast and hot coffee. I prefer to have them in my bed room, when an unusual noise perpetrate. Our cat named Puti jumped and hid under my bed and the rest the cats followed as they were hastily hopping to catch the later. I have to come across and I uncover on the trouble. I am sure Puti has foods and want to have alone. But it is not the end, it might be a snake or a hazardous insects. It happened then that they bring inside a snake and play with it under my bed. Immediately, I secure my emergency lamp and find it out myself. Oh! A bird was squabbling and I hurried to save the bird. It was too late to take steps, because the bird was lifeless after withdrawing from the enemy. I feel cheerless, and decide to punish the captor but it was unwise.

After taking my breakfast, I went on my garden and imagine how did the bird was captured. It was impossible because the bird settled on top of the tree while the captor was mingling merrily with the other cats. I can imagine that the captive enters in the scene to catch worms upon my exit to the kitchen. The victim was not aware that its captor was looking for a delicious breakfast too. What was wrong on the move of the cat was his failure to think that I am there, willing and ready to feed them at a proper time. It is just bit uneasy to consider his patience in having a tasty breakfast. Perhaps, the cat considers his behavior to be a noble intention. He falls short on the distinctiveness of the bird. If he did, he must mind that the bird might be a mother or a father that looks for an appetizing breakfast of its family. I pity the family if they find it hard for the impossible return of their love one, not only for foods but for companionship. I can not bear to think the worries and hazards that my cat has for these poor victim. The captor seems like feasting when it catches the bird. It views like a strong soldier, a valiant soldier who won in battle. It assumes that catching birds for yummiest breakfast is the noblest act it did for the day.

The cat in this story was an animal that we can not enforce the law of the land because of his identity. But his noble purpose for a yummy breakfast hurt others feeling. But what if a man did the same? Would it be still similar? The law of the Land and our God Almighty consider it as crime. It is entitled to the proper enforcement of the law. Maybe, a man who committed alike thinks comparably with a cat. He considers a crime like this to be a noble intention because of needs. We can visualize a man who committed the same to be a hero among his family for providing the delectable breakfast in a day. Could it be a happiness of others, thinking it to be sufferings for some? I wish man who yearns for a family’s appetizing meals will not adapt the initiatives of a cat.

Sweetness in Teaching

Sweet as a candy and delicious as ice cream are the the feeling towards teaching. You can not taste

on your products like cooking and planting but you can feel deep inside your heart the outcome of

our product.

Like a joy on early smiles and giggles of babies, I love watching my students giggling with an

innocent smiles, mingling in this most congested world of uncertainty.

My Seniors

This is my 3rd year handling review on Abstract. This is part of the College Entrance Test provided by The Mindanao State University Marawi City. This enable students, specially poor one to continue in College with less financial expenses. Most top and supervisors positions in the Government Agencies heals from this University. This was due to the quality of education that this University has provided to able student.
One good thing I have in this Universities is its role in Nation building. It is because of its location. It is away from Cities where in temptations on youth problem is minimal. No night clubs nearby, and the best was the absence of alcohol. Knowing Marawi City to be the only Islamic City in the Philippines, it forbids the selling of the same. The problem on accommodations like boarding is pro-poor. You can be accommodated with only 250 pesos a month. On foods, you can by delicious "pater"(maranao cooked-rice in a banana leaves with halal meat or chicken meat0 for only 10pesos. I short, an intelligent student can survive in a day for only 50pesos including banana toron and other agricultural product made available for snacks. This most favorable conditions will make a student to acquire a degree with a minimal financial support from parents.
The reasons from the above paragraph made me to ponder how my students especially senior to avail on privileges provided by this University to able and willing students. Since our school is just 2 and a half kilometer away from this University, it's a great chance for them to enjoy the same privilege of which academic performance is the key. The area that I'm reviewing to them covers 20% of the entrance test that it provides.
Considering the delicacy of this area, which covers aptitude test, figure analogy, literal series and number series with other related mathematical problem, I have to educate them on this area. With this related importance, I can not give-up on this review. Every day is a long day for me. I hope that my students can make it like my two batches of students. I know that this really help them. The distance is not a problem for they can just walk from and to this University for home.

The Touch of Cumbersome Responsibility

The Touch Of Cumbersome Responsibility

According to many sociologist and anthropologists, the primary function of

the family is to reproduce society either biologically. society or both.

Thus one’s experience of one’s family shifts over time. From the

perspective of children, the family is family orientation. The family

serves to locate children socially, and plays major role in their

enculturation and socialization. From the point of view of parents, the

family is a family of procreation, the goal of which is to produce and

enculturate and socialized children. However producing children is not the

only function of societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage and

the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for

the formation of an economically productive household.(google.com, April,5,2008)




As a mother of six offspring, with only one rose among the thorns, we

cannot account the weight of responsibility. When one time, I was caught

between showers of swords from the two directions, I have asked ALLAH

(s.w.t.) to have me a shiny day on the following morning. At first, I find

it easy to skip, since, some relatives seems loyal in comforting me. How

awesome for these number of shoulders to cry on. But, as it starts to

worsen, they begin to stay apart so that they can exempt themselves from

these diversities of swords. I cannot put the blame on them, since it’s a

suicidal in nature. I even warned my hubby to be careful on its infectious

thorns. Playing the role of being the only person who conceived, I have

acquired strength to blow my last breath, and directed my intent of

fighting back. Any cowardice move, never give a chance to save this

complications. I felt this weighty responsibility, entrapping my whole

being.




Being a mother of less than one to make half dozen boys, I must prepare my

self for any consequences in motherhood. Indubitably, mothers are willing

to dedicate herself for the sake of being one. Some intriguing problem

encountered by families, are uncertainty on children’s educations, dashing

manhood (includes love story, peculiar taste with friends, choosy and

distinct types for foods and colors), financial incapacity and

discontentment in nature and the society of which they belong. My center

of emotion is on the second intrigue, dashing manhood. Our acquaintance

with this kind of deception came with out warning. To the contrary, the

other mentioned schemed leave a chance for provisions. It is lateralize

according to once time frame, prioritize base on our ability. Similarly,

on natural calamity, rains pour after cloudy skies and floods after heavy

rains. Laterally, it prompted us to have some precautionary measures. But

in this case, it bump our head, like an after shock tidal wave. Though we

are aware of it existence but the wrangle eradicate our inner sense of

stillness. This is where aptitude of moral responsibility begins to mount.




With my weary eyes, I have accepted these challenges, with open arms. I

have defined everything to be only me who can stand forward with or with

out falling. We understand that sometimes, power and wealth are strangers

to this kind of complexities. I rather vowed down so that my identities

will become invisible to them. It is in this manner that they failed to

aim on my forehead. My whole being, was shadowed by pleading, and bring

myself into surrender. It is matter of recollection of how we play the

role of motherhood that have save me. Recalling for all our hardships,

followed by our earnest effort to have an ideal children, is one weapon to

beat the odds, looked very effective than everything. I have never dream

to change my life style, so that the coldness of the night could be my

companion instead of providing myself in comfort that I desired. If the

pouring of rains dictates me to shed unfathomed, I must led my way to the

best outcome. Declaring for an absence is not applicable to this time.

This weakens me, and stole my very chance of resting, even though it was

necessary. My hubby had to confess every inch of my fight to our friends,

finding solutions to calm the violence. What would be the best drive for

this crisis with the pressures of times? Every shift seems harsh and keeps

me breathless. The whole world moved closer which enough sleep is the only

guarantee to cool me. I believed, ALLAH (s.w.t) always have place for a

mother like me. I allow the coldness of the night to modify my fight and

let my tears pour down until it dries up. I want to pull back time and

withdraw being me. I discern everything in proper, since my aim in life

was satisfied when I decide to enter into. I have enough preparations to

tackle every adversity. But, for a situation similar to mine, it is

unpredictable.

I successfully delineate all obstacles, and discovered those showering

swords to be lenient without pricking me. This, sudden change of

environment need another stage of confusions rejoice with queuing lines of

responsibility, waiting to be defined to its utmost forms. Those showers

of swords are now cradling me to a bitterness of responsibility. This

time, if I got pricked, it might be yawning for I have lost much of

struggles. Those swords are an ocean that may drown me anytime, whenever

the role of cruelty possessed these tendencies. As if, I am on two roaring

lions that eventually tear me into pieces. With those fervent hopes, they

may vary to the best of its advantage. This unseat responsibility will

continue to find its peak unpredictably, bottomless.




However, our moral responsibility cannot authorize any other persons to

take its totality, though we can delegate to make it lighter. To regard

such as worthy of one of this reactions is to ascribe moral responsibility

to them on the basis of what they have done or left undone. Thus to be

morally responsible for our children, say an action is to be worthy of a

particular kind of reaction, praise, blame or something akin to these- for

having perform. If what we have done is not enough, at least we have done

our best for our responsibility

Philosophical reflection on moral responsibility has a long history. One

reason for this persistent interest is the way the topic seems connected

with a widely shared conception of ourselves as a member of more

importantly distinct class of individual- call them persons. Persons are

qualitatively different from those of other known living species, despite

their numerous similarities. Many have held that one distinct feature of a

persons is their status as morally responsible agents, a status whether

their special status is threatened of a certain other claims about our

universe are true. If a person is be morally responsible for her behavior

if that behavior can be explained solely by reference to physical state of

universe and world along a divinely ordained path? Concerns like these

have often motivated individuals to the theorized about moral

responsibility. We dedicate our lives to our children because we are

distinct from other mothers.(google.com, April 5,2008)

My first hanging Plants

Click the picture to zoom and find out how these hanging plants reproduce.



A pair of hanging plants was a present to me by my hubby at our early marriage. Before our marriage, he already recognized my instinct in loving natures, especially flowers. I have more than a dozen of presents from him when we were in College, though I do not value his gift to be his start of liking me. After our wedding, he developed in his mind my identities and continued to provide me more of these collections. I have numbers of these now, that is why I am having more of these as presents to few of my friends. These plants have traveled to different places from our first home to our permanent residence. They have been hanged to various trees surrounding our house, until finally they found this orange bearing- tree. to be their permanent place. They almost touch on the ground but I am afraid to transfer them for, I might destabilize their growth. Presently, they still continue to reproduce, providing me more of their generations.

Who Owns Me Last Summer(my companions)





My Companions at Home

My day will not be complete with out them We have 5 cats at home. They were not actually mine, its my girl's pets. In a day, all my children depart for their daily activities, while I am left alone. This is only for weekends and holidays, including vacations. Only a strange noise from them were my companions. On their presence, I failed to feel the emptiness in a day. The only peculiar among them are their fondness of stealing my snacks. They can sense on which corner I store my foods. I cannot hold my hands and hurt them. But when my girl plead to consider, I simply hold my temper.








Who Owns Me Last Summer(flower on the pathways)



flowers on left side of the path way of my garden at home

Most plants in this corner are centennial , I chose to have them here just to accustom butterflies. We can see variety of butterflies in this corner, serenading every bloom of the flowers. I really like them.




Who Owns Me Last Summer(Right corner of my garden)




On the right corner of my garden

This corner is far from my window. I can only satisfy myself in glancing them if it is intentional visits. I have to go out and check them if I desire to. Since, these ware on the rear corner, they usually suffer with the dump of dried leaves. That is why, I must see them daily.







Who Owns Me Last Summer(left corner)



my garden at home at its left corner

Most of these flowers were my collections. I have them here for I know they can customize themselves on my kind of behavior. They cannot expect me to be with them all the time. I thanked them for their patience.




Who Owns Me Last Summer(path way of my garedn at home)




Path way of my garden at home

The path way of my garden can be seen on the rear view of my computer room. This is especially designed to entertain me if I'm bored of clicking my mouse and a glance of my monitor. With the soft blowing of wind, it refresh my mind and keep me to think more effectively. Despite my busy days at school, I have given extra time to cultivate.




Who Owns Me Last Summer(front view of my gareden)





front view of my garden at home

My garden at home have so much to say about me. They were totally neglected during school days. They can only own my times during holidays and vacations. I am just thankful that most of them are cultured to my behavior. One great thing they can expect of me is my endless smile every morning, for I do not missed any day if I'm around with out seeing them. I could check on their temporary discomfort in a day. This summer, I exclusively gave my time to them.

If you have garden at home, you will agree with me that, in gardening, it terminates your worries and slows down aging. We will be counting almost every leaves and blooms of their flowers. Such is a most luxurious hobby that do not requires you financially. Though, we owe them care and patience.
