#8 "The Best Motivational Video Ever"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOlTdkYXuzE&feature=youtu.be

For me, the main message of the video tells us that a physical disorder is not a burden to reach our dreams and to have a better life. It shows a man who doesn't have both hands and feet which says that though we have like this, we should not lose hope. God created us with a definite and reasonable purpose. If you have hidden talent so don't hesitate to show it because that talent is given to you to help yourself to be successful in life.

Yes, i am inspired by the video because it encourages me to show and share my skills, ability or talent to everyone just like what the man their did. We should not be ashame of what we have. Be an inspiration to others. And inspite of the fact that we have disorder, it is not a hindrance to success.

I think, I can be an inspiration to others too by encouraging people to pursue their dreams and make them realize that no matter how hard is your life, their is no harm if you try and work hard for it. Because God is always watching us and ready to help anytime. He knows best for our better future and if he sees us hardworking, He will directly give you what is meant for you. I would also follow like what the man on the video did that he is contented already of what God gave to him. So that, people would realize that they should not lose hope and never hide what they have.

#7 "Discipline"

According to my source http://www.thefreedictionary.com/discipline, discipline is a training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement. Moreover, it is used to train by instruction and practice, especially to teach self-control. It is also a systematic method to obtain obedience and a branch of knowledge or teaching.

Furthermore, discipline is not the same as punishment. Instead, discipline has to do more with teaching, and involves teaching your child right from wrong, how to respect the rights of others, which behaviors are acceptable and which are not, with a goal of helping to develop a child who feels secure and loved, is self-confident, self-disciplined and knows how to control his impulses, and who does not get overly frustrated with the normal stresses of everyday life.

#6 "The Adventurer"

There was a tall and brown complexion girl named Homaida. She loved having a vacation during her free time like in Semestral break, Christmas vacation especially in Summer. One of her favorite place was Camiguin Island, an Island full of beautiful spots because she can't forget the adventurous moment she had experienced before. The most interesting in this place were the clean White Island which have white sand and the high Mt.Hibok-Hibok.

One day, on their way back from Camiguin, she and her big family with their family friends lost their way. Instead of going home, they reached far away from their destination, the City of waterfalls, Iligan.

At first, I tried to calm down the tension occurred because they were in panic. And they stayed calm. But suddenly, the Fortuner car we rode stopped because its gasoline was runned out. It was in the middle of the night and the dogs were barking. Dad got out of the car and said he would asked some help. So he walked toward the huge house and knocked the door. But nobody answered.

Me, having worried to my dad, I followed him. Then Amer, a tall, handsome, and gentleman boy who was son of our family friends go with me. He followed me too because he wanted to protect me from any dangerous might happened.

When we both of us saw my father, he was entering the house. We also entered the house and inside of it was dark and dusty. I was fascinated. My attitude then went wrong. So Amer shook me but I ran inside the room there and locked the door.

Amer who was afraid, called my dad and told him what happened. They always knocked the door but I didn't open it. Finally my dad ruined the door knob and opened the door. They found me unconsciously. My father carried me away from that horrifying house. And when we reached to our car, my dad woke me up and asked me if I'm okay. I said "yes". Then dad asked us one favor which is to kept as secret the things that happened to us on that scary house and we nodded.

After a while, our driver Mang Domeng arrived handling a gallon of gasoline. He directly poured it on the gasoline container of the car and he started the car. All of us got inside of it. We traveled safely. However, as time went on, I've noticed that we were just going back to the road where we just passed by. I already saw that big trees and that small houses.

I thought it was just my imagination. Then suddenly, there's something heavy fell on our car.It scared us, so we all prayed to God and later on, we found out that we were on our way home to Iligan. Thanks to God, He helped us and guided us to the right path. Prayer is really a powerful weapon.

#5 "My Heroine"

Have you ever experienced that you’re at risk and you need anyone else to help you because you’re going to die? A condition that there’s nothing to do to help yourself? That you thought it is the last existence of your life to the world. This is what we called a hero/heroine. A hero/heroine that we admired for his or her brave deeds and noble qualities.

In my case, a person in real life who has been my hero or the heroine I consider in my life is a friend of mine named Al-Naira. In fact, she’s my third degree cousin and an age of 15 at that time. Why? Because, long time ago when I was in elementary level, our family and relatives had a reunion. It’s the first time that the members of our family and their family as well had get together and bond each other. So we spend our reunion at Holiday Pool. We are approximately 150 persons in the celebration because there was no exception from the children to teenagers to adults, is all invited.

So, each one of us were busy. Our parents were having chitchat and discussing their present lives. We the children were also enjoying swimming the pool. And the teenagers were mingling each other. While I’m swimming in the 4 feet which is beside the 8 feet, I’ve carried away and swam going through 8.5 feet because I thought it was still 4 feet. So my life was in at risk. I was almost drowning. My companions who were also children and didn’t know how to swim were just shouting and shocked about the incident. Some also were just watching me and some asked somebody to save me. Glad to say my cousin who saw me had helped me and she dragged me through 4 feet. I was catching my breath and I feel nervous about what happened. I thought I’m going to die already. I’m very thankful that Al-Naira was there during the accident. From then on, I consider her as my heroine. I really owed her a lot.

However, because of that incident my parents got more protective to me. They didn’t allow me anymore going on a pool neither beach unless there’s someone would go with me like my sister. But nowadays, they’re not so strict anymore. May be because I’m matured now and I know what to do.

So, I know that each one of us has its own hero or heroine in their lives. In addition, we’re very fortunate that there’s still a person who is really ready to help other people though it comes to the point that their life would be in danger. Yet somehow, someday I also wanted to help the people who needs help especially the less fortunate ones not because I want to be famous and heroine but to serve my beloved country.

#4 "The Dead Communicate With Her!"

Many of us wonder if the dead really communicate with the living especially in human beings. Some people says that its not true and some says it is. But before anything else, what is dead by way? So,for me, dead is a thing which no longer exist or living in the world. So maybe, that's why a lot of people do not believe that dead communicate with the living because they can think that dead is not existing so why would it communicate with us? On the other hand, do you believe that the dead communicate with the living? Why? Or why not?

As for me, I do believe that the dead really communicate with the living even though I didn't experience yet because based on our neighborhood, her family and herself encountered to communicate with the dead. The dead communicate with them every night between 8pm to 11pm in their house. So usually every 8pm, the fluorescent bulb in their room with her sister and cousin will blink and sometimes will turn off and on though there's nobody else with them in the room. So they feel scared and wondering why it happens. They ask each other, "Did you turn off then on the light? Why you scaring us?" Then the others will reply, "No, I didn't do it. Why would I? I don't like scaring someone especially myself." Starting that they feel afraid but they bear in their mind that maybe the fluorescent bulb which has a problem. So, the next day it happens again. So they got more afraid. They talk to the dead politely then the dead will reply in a way that she will move the things around them especially the door. Sometimes also the dead will cry sitting on the stairs. Yet, the most scariest part is when the dead which is a White Lady shows to one of our neighbor. Her name is Samsia Elias. She feels really scared and she can't sleep well every night. And when she asks her family about what happen, they said she was played by the dead badly because that White Lady always shows to her already. Thanks to GOD it stopped at this moment. Also some of our neighbors told us that they also saw that White Lady on Samsia's house at their rooftop. That's why I believe on Samsia because not only her who saw and can communicate with the dead but others also can do. From that on, she learned that the dead really communicate with the living especially to us human.

Therefore, though I didn't encounter like this which is communicating with the dead, I still believe that the dead communicate to the living. Dead will communicate to us in a many ways such as in psychic they communicate to the dead that they can talk each other or having a conversation. However, to us ordinary people can communicate with them in a way that they only show to us then disappear quickly. They just give a sign and sometimes they use a thing to say that they are there and saying something to us that they need a help to fix something. So, when the dead tries to communicate with you, don't be afraid because dead can't harm us unlike living because they're just rooming around and watching what we're doing.

#3 "I Stop To Say Thank You: Mama and Papa"

Our family is the most precious thing that we only have and should take care of and give value for our entire life. We should not waste the time we have with our family because without a family we are not doing our very best to pursue what we are at present and to continue living in the world. In addition, in the family only you can feel that you are not aloof and there's still a person who value and loves you. Because sometime, someday our regrets will always occur at the last which you could not go back just to fix the wrong things you've done. But, do you think people of nowadays are valuing there family as well as their parents? How might do they show that they value their parents a lot as much as the value of parents they show to their children?

So, in my opinion, people value their family these days only quite. They don't even have enough time to spend with their family. Why? Because as I observed in our surroundings especially in our community, some of our neighborhood is not organized, not helping one another, and they don't even care the side of their neighbor. In fact, one of our neighbor's family, the wife and husband were always fighting so their son is the most affected because he was sometimes blamed by his father of something wrong which he does not commit. I also observed from the news I watch in the TV, most of the celebrity couples got easily separated because of misunderstanding maybe yet they must fight and save their relationships in order their family to be complete and live with love and peace. They don't even care if their family would be broken and infact, yes, there are many family in the Philippines are in broken family. And of course, that's why many teenage of today got rebellious to their parents.

However, we can fight and surpass this things because for me, it's just a struggles and difficulties that we have to encounter since it is the way that GOD above gives to us and serves as our challenges just to strengthen our self and especially our faith and believe in GOD. So, I would really give my value to my parents like for instance 10 years from now by showing to them that though I'm very busy on my work for example or if ever I have my own family is I would still communicate with them despite on hindrances will come. I will help my parents in terms of expenses in their daily needs in life so I will be the one to sustain and support them by giving them somehow a money which is deeply come from my heart. And I will lend a time if I got an extra money to treat my parents and my family as well a bonding moment in a nice place which there's no destruction and we can spent our time peacefully and enjoyable so that we can talk each other and share our experiences with our new life if we're still okay or not.

Therefore, we should not forget to say thank you to our beloved parents for the sacrifices they have done and the heartaches they got just to raise us and give us a better future someday. So, we can say thank you to our parents in many ways by simply saying thank you to them in personal but mean the single word you say so that our parents would be happy and appreciate it. Or if you are not confident enough and shy to face your parents in person , we can use a writing strategy. Write all the feelings you want them to know and share, then give it to them so like me, I'm shy to tell them thank you and I love you in person but I'm showing it through my actions that I am very thankful that they are my parents. So now I'm grabbing this opportunity to say thank you: mama and papa for everything you've done for me and for my sisters and brothers also. I really love you both. Because of your guidance we've realized that why were you doing all of that because it's for our own sake and I learned what the true life is.

#2 How To B e A Good Reader And Writer?

Can you say to yourself that you are a good reader and writer? But by the way, how can we say that a person is a good reader and writer? Is there any signs which we can determine if that person is a good reader and writer? Also being a good reader sand writer is not hard nor easy thing.It is not hard because all we have to do is read a lot and write a lot. Just set yourself in a good mood or else make a motivation and inspiration to make yourself interested in what as mentioned earlier which is to become a good reader and a good writer as well. However, it's not also easy to do what was mentioned above to become a good reader and writer especially when you are not a wide reader and does not enjoy writing because you have to adjust yourself in a while or even a long period of time just to make yourself a wide reader and a good writer. It's not also like the other things that even you'e not master to it or does not like it, still you can survive on it.

Well, for me, I can really say that i am not a good reader and writer as well. Why? Because to be honest, I'm not a wide reader in different books except for a selected ones such as interesting comics, magazines, and novels. If I don't like the story so I will not read it or if i started read on it but it's boring so I will stop read. I'm just choosing what book is interesting and which is not boring. I'm not used to read academic books or the textbooks if not told to. I'm not even fun of writing. Infact, in our school especially in ICNHS, I'm just forced to write our written outputs because as I said I'm not a good writer and my grammar is incorrect sometimes. I can only rate myself a 75% good reader because atleast I survived in writing and also everytime our teacher in English told us to do a written outputs like what I'm doing now is, I learned and it improves my writing skills. In addition, I believe in a strategy written on our workbook English 1 that "write a lot and do a lot of reading" because it really helps us to develop our reading and writing skills. Also it helps us to gain more knowledge.

So, now I'm trying myself to start read a lot of books even i don't like to or in short be a wide reader because it really helps our personality and also it helps us discover that we can be a good reader and writer if we are a wide reader and always write even its for our own. Just keep in mind that if the others can do to be a good reader and writer so we can also do it. Just practice reading and writing and for sure we can love it and treasure it for the rest of our lives.

#1 My Mission In Life

We all know that each of us has a mission in life individually to complete or finish. And we have to face the truth that we have to encounter struggles, difficulties, and sometimes it makes to the point that our life is in risk.

So, for me the things that I consider in my mission in life is that first of all, I have to be a good daughter to my parents and a good sister as well to my siblings/brothers and sisters or even to our relatives and friends. I have to be a good person to everybody and do not do any violations or bad things against other people. I also have to be kind, obedient, hardworking, etc. especially in times of our household chores at home. Also, I have to be faithful in our GOD above and always pray. Next is, I should study and work hard in our school so that I can get good grades and my parents would be happy for that. I will should not do cheating in class in order me to have a high grades and got top to the class because its not a good habbit. In addition, because of having good grades it will leads me to a successful path to reach my mission, ambition, or even my dream to finish my studies in college. Then, if I can get good job someday which has a good salary and enough for our daily expenses, I can now merely help my parents back since they're the one who help me to reach my ambition which is part of my mission in life. It's my mission also to have my parents a break from working so hard for our own sake in order us to have a better future. Just think about it that we can help also and makes our parents proud and happy when we graduated in college level and has a good proffesion especially a better work to sustain ourself and our family as well. And instead, I'm the one who will work for them, and for myself also. So, after I already helped my parents, I will mind myself and look someone also who can make me happy , and stays with me until the end of my life. If I found the one so it makes me happy. Finally, its time for me to share my knowledge and blessings to everyone, to others and help them in what they need especially to the poor ones. I should do good deeds as an exchange to all the blessings of GOD have given to me. No matter what how hard is that, I will try my best to help and make all of them to be happy and relieved.

Therefore, though its not easy to survive on our respective mission in life because of difficulties we have to encounter. All we need to do is always rely and believe in GOD, to yourself and there's a big possibility that you can surpass it . just don’t lose hope because GOD is good and asks forgiveness to him from the sins you had made. Try and try until you succeed and got the "mission complete".
