On Faith

In response to a TeenTalk post:


Jas 2:14-24, 26

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Indeed someone might say, “You have faith and I have works.” Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble. Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works
when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works,
and faith was completed by the works. Thus the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.
See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Currently reading P. Coelho's By The River Piedra I Sat Down & Wept.

It's gooooooooooooooood! I'm planning to finish it tonight.





Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Lasang sapal ang tinapay.

Jeez, it's been a while since I last posted a decent entry. Well, here we go...

As I've said in my entry prior to this, I got all my grades yesterday. I am very thankful I finished this semester with acceptable grades, especially with my Microbiology subject. It's nice to take a vacation after a semester's worth of hardwork. :) No pain, no gain. ;)

I'm working out. *laughter* No, seriously-- I AM working out. My heart spoke to me a week ago, complaining how hard it is to pump with all of the fat. HAHA. Aunt and I started this exercise regimen last Monday at the EAFB gym. I've never been on a programmable treadmill before so I nearly slipped the first time I stepped on it. Haahaa. Silo. There were, of course, musclely and cute guys in there, but I don't give a damn. I have muscles AND I am cute too, yah know. XD Pagbigyan, pagbigyan.

I have NO idea why, but WebAdvisor won't let me register for SDSU's Nutrition class for Fall, so I decided to move to BHSU's which means I have to drop my Spanish class at SDSMT and take SPAN at BHSU 7-10pm twice a week. There is something very appealing with night classes. Maybe it's because I am most active at night (uyyy, pareho kami ni "only one". HAHA). Whateburr. I am excited for my Spanish subject. I don't know how I'm supposed to learn Spanish in a class, but I hope we would deal with the Castillan Spanish, because that's where most Tagalog words were derived from. MY surname is Spanish: dela cruz means "of the cross"--so gracia dela cruz means "grace of the cross". WOW. Last thing I knew, I AM the cross XD.

Last week, I had the sudden urge to look up some F4 (Meteor Garden) songs. They all brought back memories of San Cai, Dao Ming Si, and my beloved Lei :D. I like "Season of Fireworks" the best, even though I can't understand a word of it XD. I personally think Meteor Garden is one of the best shows I've seen.

I'm taking just 6 units for the summer. I don't want to make the same mistake I did last summer where I had 11 units worth of online subjects. only had 3 hours of sleep every DAY (I didn't sleep during the night) and I gained weight. O_O

I will be taking 15 units during the fall T_T and I don't feel good about that ENG 201 and HSC 120. But I'm definitely looking forward for my SPAN 101 and PSYC 451 (Abnormal Psychology) classes.

We'll be watching PRINCE CASPIAN on either Saturday or Sunday (YAYYYYYYYYYY). William Mosely rawks!

Will think of more stuff to post here. :D Til then, my sweetcakes!

WOOOOOOT!

I got my Chemistry grade today and it's GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Yoohoo! Yebah! Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Thank you, God!


And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory!

Nooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm.

Happy Mommies' Day!

Mom, Dad and I went to the mall to do some shopping and then we headed to Golden Corral to eat our supper. Jeez mehn, hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makahinga sa sobrang busog.

I gave Mom roses and a card written using the apex of my heart (haha) and she loved them.

Love you, Mommie! =D

* * *

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad classes are OVER. I'm still looking for a job, though.

Frikkin Multiply won't let me post anything! =P

Muning

We have a visitor! :D

May ulol na aso sa daan

Spring 2008 has come to an end!

Yebah!

I got my Microbiology grade this morning and I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT! Me loves me WBCs again! *hugs self*

Lori's supposed to give us our Physiology grades tomorrow, that's why I can't get a wink of sleep. Mehn. I wonder when will I see my grades for my other subjects. Our last Chemistry and Microbiology-Lab exams killed me.

I'm planning to apply for a job on Sunday. I need munneh. I doubt my student loan will be enough to cover all of my expenses and there are way too many straight-A students to compete with just to get that scholarship--that's why I am desperate for a job. Kahit taga-tiklop lang.

I am working on my diet (naks). So far, I got one pair of pants back--which is good enough for me. I still have 9 pairs of pants I have to fit into. O_O I still have a month before Summer classes.

Here's a quick recap of what happened this sem:

I...

• lost 2 erasers.
• met THE E. coli again.
• dissected a cow's eyeball.
• discovered my superb physical strength and excellent vision. Haaahaaa
• had NO campus crush(es). :(
• took a late-night Chemistry class and LOVED it. :)
• took Microbiology, lost hope, worked hard, and succeeded.
  
• took Physiology, laughed, and learned.
• burned 2 CDs (or was it 3?)
• had a spring break.
• wrote a Chemistry paper.
• took care of bacteria.
• had some fun conversations. :)
• discovered the library's computer lounge.
• wasted used the school printer's ink.
• didn't miss a class.
• crammed for several exams.
• found out my blood type (A+).
• got more blood than what I needed.
• faked running. :D
• laughed at an F.
• nearly died.
• poked fun at something.
• enjoyed others' company.
• shared life. :)

To all my classmates and professors who made this semester at BHSU and SDSMT worth reminiscing,

Thank you very much. :)

Dear God

Jesus Christ, you are my life,
alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus Christ, you are my life.
You are my life, alleluia.

Tu sei via, sei veritá,
tu sei la nostra vita,
camminando insieme a te
vivrem o in te per sempre.

Be our Way, our Truth, and our Life.
Form us anew in how you died.
We embrace the cross that you bore,
and will arise in glory.

En el gozo caminaremos
trayendo tu evangelio;
testimonios de caridad,
hijos de Dios en el mundo.

Holy fire, come dwell in each heart.
Grant us the gifts your love imparts.
Free our tongues to boldly proclaim
"Jesus is Lord forever!"

Tu nous rassembles dans l´unitéréunis
dans ton grand amour,
devan toi dans la joienous
chanterons ta gloire.

Break the yoke of violence and war.
Open the hearts of rich to poor.
Nations bound by terror and fear
long to embrace your freedom.

Senseless walls of hatred divide,
vengeance destroys and fear misguides.
Teach us mercy: hope for new life;
for you alone are holy!

Tralaloo

This summer, I'm planning to:

1. get a job
2. get some summer classes
3. LOSE WEIGHT

Darn my grindylows. I was cleaning my closet last Thursday when I found several pairs of pants which I set aside about a year ago because they don't fit me anymore. I took one out of the bag and checked out the tag. It was a pair of Gap jeans and I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the size: 6. I checked out Gap's website and found out that size 6 is equivalent to a 27 inch waistline (tall). I remember wearing that particular pair and if I remember it correctly, it was a little loose pa nga.

Oh. my. gulaman.

I didn't know I lost 2 inches of my waist when I was still in Baguio. Some of my friends and high school teachers noticed that I did lose some weight (it was the first time we visited LS after graduation) but I didn't really care back then. I was too busy begging June to make that crazy horror movie sound again. LOL.

I didn't realize how much I've grown (horizontally XD) until I compared my old and new pictures
.

Oh well. This is what happens when you don't have a life. Haha. Wateburr. At least I got rid of my zits na.

* * *

3 down, 3 to go. I'm glad I'm done with my 3 lab exams. I just hope the results would be okay or else,

* * *

Some Filipino filed a case against Pope Benedict XVI. Wattalayp. If his accusations were proven reasonable, then it means I could file a case against my former teacher who forced us to attend a "seminar" while he/she did everything to stop us from attending a Rosary Meeting.

I read Bob Ong's ABNKKBSNPLAko for the nth time.

Ang tinapay ay lasang sapal.
May amag ang pansit-luglog.
Ibig kong kumain ng sisiw.
Ikaw at ako ay kakain sa araw-araw.
Mahabag ka sa batang binugbog.
May ulol na aso sa daan.
Ang halik ni Hudas ay masama.

HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Oh jeez. It never fails.

I love Harris Arden. =}

Hotter than Jalapeño

I hope I got a decent grade for my 4th Microbiology exam.

I posted this on TSU-LS's Friendster Group in response to Sr. Dungo's question:

What do you remember most about TSU-LS?

• Yung mga pagpa-power trip namin ni June na pinagtatawanan namin yung patellar reflex at yung pagkanta namin ng "Black Black Heart" tuwing Algebra.
• Yung ilang beses kong pag-"dive" sa pavement at sa mga halaman. Haha! Kawawang semento.
• Yung McDo days na pinagiipunan ko pa. Pag walang pera, Sundae cone lang ang kaya kong orderin.
• Yung Saturday "meetings" na madalas nauuwi sa lakwatsa.
• Yung pagkabaliw ko sa Harry Potter na nagdrowing pa ako ng lightning scar sa noo ko.
• Mga pamatay na impersonations ni June.
• Yung T.L.E. lessons namin a.k.a. recess.
• Yung paghabol sa bus na kung saan nasabit pa si Jewilyn.
• Yung mga kambing na kumakain ng malutong na dahon.
• Yung mabahong bunga ng puno na nalalaglag.
• Yung lagi akong naiipit sa bintana.
• Sina Marshie at Mallow.
• Yung mga bansag sa akin. HAHAHA!
• Mga murang pagkain.
• Everything that has to do with Math (Algebra, Trigonometry, CHEMISTRY, Calculus). Late reaction yung utak ko, ngayon ko lang sila naintindihan.
• Yung mga contests na sinasalihan namin tuwing lunch.
• Isa pang sobrang kabaliwan ko sa Westlife na ginawan ko pa ng wedding invitation. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA ulit.
• Yung frog dissection na kung saan wala ng lahat yung internal organs e buhay pa yung palaka.
• Yung pagquiz namin sa dahon ng bougainvillea courtesy of Sr. Dungo.

I miss those times very much, I dream of them every night.

* * *

P.S. I still believe in God. :)

Moar

I took my Chemistry-Lab final exam this morning. It's an open notebook exam so it was pretty easy. I just hope I placed Hydrogen in their correct places. I actually felt a little sad when I left the room after the exam. That class is one of the best I have this sem. Sigh.

I just discovered the beauty of lj-cut and I might transfer to LJ because of that. Haha. Madali kasi akong masilo, so here you go:

( some WBC doodles )

This is what I did last night instead of reviewing my Microbiology notes. Haha. I have no tablet so I just drew them on scrap papers and scanned those. If I ever get a job and save $1600, I AM going to get a TabletPC. Pramis.

I told Mom about the GIANTmicrobes and she thinks it's a good idea for me to get one (para daw ganahan mag-aral). Yayyyyyy mommie!

I have to go back to my Microbiology, our 4th exam is on Monday na, and I MUST get an A on this exam to pull my grades up. Rarr. O_O

Tips on writing a term paper

Paper Writing Panic

Making It Count

So, you have three papers to write and they’re all due in two weeks. Stay calm! Writing a research paper does not have to be a stressful exercise. Just follow the tips below and those papers will practically write themselves!

Choose a Topic
Often, the most difficult part of writing a paper is choosing a topic. Here are some ideas if you get stuck:

• Think about what interests you. Was something discussed in class that really grabbed your attention? Do you have a personal interest that would make a good paper topic?
• Look at the news. There are plenty of issues and topics in the news that could give you ideas for your paper.
• Listen in class. A teacher will usually drop hints for possible research paper topics in class. If not, you can always talk to the teacher, and together you may discover a topic that you never thought of before.

Do some initial research. Try typing a few ideas in the library search engine and see what happens, or browse some books or journals. This way you not only find a topic, you also get a head start on your research.

Gather Information
After you have found a topic that interests you, the next step is to gather information.

Before you start your research, you need to make sure that your topic is specific enough to make a good paper. This will focus your research, so you spend your time locating good, relevant information that you will really use.

A good way to focus your paper is to create a research question. For example, if your topic is the Cold War, here are some possible research questions: What is the origin of the Cold War? What impact did the Cuban Missile Crisis have on the Cold War? How and why did the Cold War end?

Once you have your research question, it's time to gather your information. A good place to start is an online library. This is a fast way to find a lot of quality research material. But be careful if you're using general web search engines – you’ll find some good information mixed with quite a bit of junk. Your teacher wants you to use credible, academic content.

Detailed Notes
After you have gathered mounds of information, you may take one look at it all and think to yourself, "Now what?" How are you going to take all these resources and organize the information you need for your paper?

Here are some time-saving tips for putting together your notes and information:

• Be honest in your writing. Use your own words when taking notes and put exact quotes in question marks.
• Use different color highlighters to easily identify different points within your own notes.
• Make note cards to organize quotes and specific facts that you may want to include within your paper.
• Be sure to note the sources you got your information from - you need this information for your notes and bibliography.

When you stick to the topic and create clear and accurate notes for yourself, you'll be surprised at the amount of time you save.

Outline and Thesis
After you have gathered your information, it's then time to think about actually writing your paper. A great way to start is to create an outline and a thesis.

A thesis is a clear, specific statement of the main idea or argument of your paper. It should express the point you are trying to make about your topic. It should not be a simple statement of accepted fact. Here are examples of good and bad thesis statements:

GOOD: Toni Morrison's novels combine poetic language with emotional impact to become powerful studies of the African-American experience.

BAD: Toni Morrison is a well-known writer who has published many novels.

An outline takes the main ideas in your thesis and organizes them. Think of it as a skeleton for the fleshed-out final paper. An outline also gives you a guide to follow to keep your thoughts organized as you write. After the main ideas are highlighted, your paper should be a detailed explanation of all the ideas you wrote in your outline.

Revise Your Paper
So, you finally have your paper written. You've reached the required number of pages and you've already let out a huge sign of relief. Now you are ready for the final stage of your paper: The Revision Process.

Revision is essential. It is like putting icing on the cake. Here are some great tips for revising your paper:

• Read the paper out loud to yourself and to other people. You'll be surprised at how useful this is.
• Use your school. If it has a writing center, then it can help you with the paper, and find any grammatical errors you might have missed.
• Re-evaluate your paper's organization, and check to see if it matches the original setup of your outline.
• See if there is anything that you would need to add or take out of your paper. Maybe something is not explained enough or maybe you explained something too much. Be alert for unclear or incomplete thoughts.

Bibliography
Has your teacher emphasized the nasty consequences of plagiarism yet? Plagiarism is a serious offense which can lead to expulsion from school. It is representing someone else's words and work as your own. To avoid plagiarism, be sure to appropriately credit all your sources. There are several things to keep in mind when citing sources:

• Use the right style. There are many different ways to cite your sources. MLA and APA are the most popular, but there are several others. Your teacher will let you know what form to use.
• Double check the punctuation and spacing in your notes and bibliography or works cited list - getting this wrong could mean points off!
• Be sure to include all the sources from your notes or parenthetical references in your bibliography or works cited.
• Use your own words when you write - when you use someone else's, put it in quotation marks and cite the source.
• Cite the source for all factual information in your paper, except for commonly known facts (like George Washington's birthday).
