I have a cat and a dog. My cat's name was Adelaide, based from the popular cartoon series “Heidi”. On the other hand, my dog was named Pipay, short for Chipipay. Both of them were cuteand both had a unique pair of eyes that twinkles through the night. Both were also adopted and was given as a remembrance from close acquaintances.
Adelaide, was the laziest and the most ill-mannered cat present on my existence. He's always on the rooftop, slouching and sleeping all day long. Imagine, little rats were already passing in front of him, and all he did was watched! It's as if, a parade of some sort passed in front of him, while, he, on the other hand, was rather enjoying it. Aside from that, Adelaide, was a very sensitive cat, always protecting his “precious” feet and tail away from danger.
Unlike my cat, my dog, Pipay, was the one with the superb manner. Actually, she was the “rat-catcher” in our entire household and the one treat rats as a “life-long pest”. Pipay was also a very civilized dog. She never dumps any waste inside our house, but, rather, go outside to face her “call of nature”. Pipay was the one who works longer but eats lesser than our cat, who only returns to collect his part of the meal and sleeps all day long!
Childhood and Adolescence: Spelling the difference

Human faces two hurdles of life. We could not qualify life if we do not undergo the enigmas. I could still remember when i was a kid. I use not to be sensitive enough. I hurt the feelings of many. I use to crank hard-hitting jokes, of which i do not really know what really i am doing. I do, really admit that during my thumb suck years, I intend to do bad stuffs. I mean, I fool with somebody and then just let them feel what they want to feel and then later give them a couple of gobbledygook to bring back their mood. I was very mean then; I even had the nerve of slapping one of my enemy's face straight to her face. I could not really behave the way my teacher wants me to. You know, everyday for me, is a feud between me and the people around me. "Loser". That word became a cliché to me. I was then hackneyed by teasing other people, or let's just say, my day won't be complete without annoying somebody. To cut the story short, "I had all the ignorance to other's feelings". My childhood was really a menace to my personality. But as what they say, nothing in this world is forever, and all the things are only short-living.
Adolescence -- it is the stage of big leap towards maturity. However, if we do not use this in the best way, we could not achieve our goals in life. I believe that life truly begins at teenage years. This is the time for us to show up, come out from our shells and finally tell the world what we got. And now, here i am, absorbing all the homilies and straightforward expectations of my family. I couldn't believe that I’ve hurdle all the pain, the joy, and the hardships of being a person. Empirically, there is really a big difference from my childhood and adolescence. In my childhood years, I could say that, I am really immature both physically and emotionally. But now, I proudly say that I have excel so much in gaining friends, as well as how to deal with the life's uncertainties. Adolescence is the best ladder for me, because here, I really found the secret of winning friends. Specifically, our group was built and the real essence of friendship clings to my vocabulary. Unlike my childhood years, adolescence taught me how to be a manager of myself. I became so much aware of other's feelings, and I learned that I shouldn't play with other's emotions. Sporadically, I reminisce all the times that I’ve spent here on earth, and I have come to realize that I was finally able to spell the difference between the two perplexities I encountered. On the other hand, I am quite happy beacuse I know, in my heart, that all the times that I spent in my life, are such part of the happy endings life could offer.
The Perfect Pair:
Rain or Shine
By: Flaire Jane Salvilla
“ Rain or shine, everything must go on.” My late grandmother never tires reminding me of this seemingly popular cliché. Moreover, it keeps ringing in my ears, never hunting, but instead, inspiring this once “little” girl, of the road that lies ahead. Although this maybe true, I love the rain and hate the sun but at times, I favor having sunshines than rainshowers.
When sunny days appear, there’s always a moment’s peace whom is sacredly calm and still, sprouts in my heart. I could smell how refreshing and relaxing the morning breeze is. I can hear the music of nature, welcoming the new day, moreover, a new start. When the blue skies and sun commence, my worries are swept away, and though unsure of the day’s surprises, there’s always enjoyment in its purest sense. I could envision through the clouds promises that are always worth the wait. Furthermore, in the gleaming rays, I can see my dreams. Sunny days give me a sense of optimism, of worth and of hope.
On the other hand, Earth cannot sustain life with sunshines alone; it needs rainshowers and cloudy skies. Rain may literally get us muddy, dirty and wet but the rain keeps our feet on the ground. The rain may halt us from doing work, not because it hinders, but once in a while, it wants us to stop and think before we act, to reminisce the past and to internalize what is right and wrong. Rainy days may make some parts of our lives cold, dark and dreary, however, into each life, some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. It makes us stronger. The rain could sympathize because it’s an emotion. A droplet is scarcely enough to mist your face but undeniably, it touches you somewhere, but when it comes pouring down, the emotion overcomes you.
Though sunny days and rainy days are definitely opposite, don’t they make a perfect pair? Sunny days inspire while rainy days strengthen. Sunshines help envision our dreams whereas raindrops make us remember who and what we are. Sunny days give us hope meanwhile rainy days make us realize our emotions. Therefore, both of them help us realize the value of life. Hence, when you’re drenched by this rain, pain might seem unbearable, but behind the clouds, the sun is still shining. There’s always a hope that after every rain, the sun would always shine, to drown with happiness all one’s bitterness.
The Two Teaching Strategies

Teachers have different methods of imparting knowledge to their students. Their way of teaching reflects their personality, experience, and their perception towards the subject. Likewise, the students’ learning depends on their attitude or character, on how they are oriented, and on their mentor’s strategy of relating the concepts to them. Hence, it is essential to know the different forms of teaching methods in order to provide the best quality of education.
Generally, there are two forms of teaching strategy, the traditional and the non-traditional. Traditional is the method which had been practiced before for many years. In this method, the teacher discusses the lesson and evaluates them in the form of a test. On the other hand, non-traditional method is a new technique based on the idea of constructivism proposed by famous psychologists. It comes in a different approach because it is more interactive and can be enjoyed by the pupils. In other words, students are encouraged to share their own ideas about the topic. In addition, they are given a task in the form of group dynamics which are proven to more effective than just staying in their seats.
Moreover, non-traditional technique can enhance more than one of the eight intelligences because of the various activities like creative writing, speaking, drawing, role-playing, dancing, etc. Unlike the traditional one, evaluation comes in a different manner like essays, portfolios, compilation of scholarly done works, or what else that can improve one’s talents and abilities. Thus, children are free of expressing their thoughts.
In conclusion, a very efficient and effective technique must be implemented and must be practiced by the teachers to successfully facilitate students’ learning. In this manner, the quality of education will progress at a high rate, raising more productive and competent citizens. It should be a teaching strategy that can create a good learning environment, can promote the exposure of the youth to real world situations, and where everyone is free from expressing themselves.
