Final..Page..

DAY 91, LOG ENTRY # 14

Hello my dear views or whatever or whoever you are... this will be my last page maybe? we still don't know what the future awaits us all.. My final word is : "Eh" ¯\_(ツ)_ /¯ I just don't know what to say about this. I'll just do this quick and simple.

Q:"What is Earth science for you"
A:"Earth science is the study of Earth, where you can discover or may experience the mystery of the world and thus you can review, study or recall your past discussion with your teacher. It always helps as the saying goes "One step at a time, 5 or 6 backwards to the memory lane." That is all I could say/ type this time. 

               

Note: Sir, Thank you for making this blog as an extra credit for us to pass this sem. I am hoping that you would continue this kind of thing

Hugot Lines about weather

DAY 84, LOG ENTRY # 13

This Page will be dedicated all about "Hugot" Lines or edgy lines for some people. Tagalog and English.

+ Mas mabuti pa ang "PAGASA" mas matino ang forecast kaysa sayo, PAASA lang.

+ Mas mabuti payung bagyo naakasira pero maayos din, pero ikaw makakasira pero hindi maayos agad.

+ All these typhoons, still you didn't bother to watch over me.. kaya na man mas mabuti pa ang PAGASA kaysa sayo.

Kaya naman bilib lang sa PAGASA

+ All these changing weather, still can't change your mind.
+ Rain is like feelings sometimes it is strong, sometimes it is not and at first it is weak then afterwards it is strong and you expect that it would never last long but it became a typhoon. 

Worst weather related case

DAY 77, LOG ENTRY # 12

The worst related case I have experienced was the Typhoon Yolanda or Typhoon Haiyan, almost 3 years ago.

The was a good and bad week or two because of these following reasons:

+ No classes

+ No electricity

+ Hard work

+ More time for the family

+ No bath for a day or two

+ Many people died

+ It made me fat because I was eating too much at that time.(great times)

I felt apathy at that time up to this point of my life. Just a brief moment of my happiness and all the time being fed up to life. Those times keep me pondering about life and death and why good men always suffer? and just just that insanity was drawing near as I keep on pondering that in my head everyday of my life. My after-thoughts about it was "Wow, destruction is everywhere." then a conversation over my head came next to it "We are all gonna die", "Yes, we are, but we are slowly dying and rotting in this vessel and some are there dying fast like Usain Bolt" even though it is like that I still feel apathy. 

Earthquake proof building

DAY 70, LOG ENTRY # 11

First of all I am sorry if I don't the picture or the proof of our building and so I'm just write it down in detailed.

First, we decided the layout of our building, the materials and time.

List of Materials:

+ 30 - 35 Straws

+ 25x25 cm Illustration board

+ 100 pcs. Paper clips

+ 2 meters strings

+ 50 pins (I don't really know the precise number)

+ blood and sweat (I mean hard work)

We had trouble with our first prototype building because it has limited area, we decide that it would be the 23 x 23 cm, we didn't have the precise measurement for the straws. It had a weak foundation and it easily fell down, but on the day before the deadline for submission, we created our 2nd prototype, it took us 4 hours to make but worth it. The 2nd prototype or our final building is the formidable structure, it has the smaller area than the 1st prototype. We hypothesized that if we use the paper clips as the skeleton that would support our building. Also we decided that the building has a smaller area so that the paper clips has the higher chance to be linked together. 

In testing our building, we ask our beloved and handsome(extra points, JK) teacher, Mr. Robbie Yasi, on what is the weight of the rice bag then he replied "more or less as the weight of the iPhone" and so we test that and it didn't fell down, for some reason the strongest part is the middle part of our building because it has small area, embedded with 3 or 4 paper clips. I think it don't have weak spots because of the same process we did for the top part of our building. For the strings we put it in the middle and upper part to support the rice bags. The pins are used as to bond the straws together in the base part of our building. We had 5 more straws extra and so we put it in the middle, base part like an X mark, more or less it was a design.

A self-change for the marine biology.

DAY 63, LOG ENTRY # 10

The Time was seemingly faster than last year, as I felt it like 3 months from now, "Hey, Happy New Year!" as for today we were launched by a question about the documentary we watch last week (Wednesday) and here it goes : "From the documentary we had watched, what would be the ONE thing you would change with your lifestyle?"

All I could answer is a huge pile of "NOTHING" because I am contented with my life and the title itself is kinda of a joke for me, I mean, I didn't eat any fish for the last months, like the main focus in the documentary is about the marine wildlife extinctions due to human activities. I didn't even eat Shark fins, didn't use any Manta gills for medication in my entire life and I'm here just doing nothing with my entire life and it is a good life I had. My life solely circles around meat and vegetables. It was good times...

Investigation

DAY 56, LOG ENTRY # 9

Here's the map for my Investigation

A.) The center river is called black river because of no rain for the past days or weeks. @ Location M (Well). It may be an elevated but since it is sandstone aside from that it is permeable type of rock. Some are elevated and some are not, 1 straight path of water and at the end of the river is mainly contaminated.

B.)Aquifers are : 1st is the Location M or Well M and Spring H because it has the most gathered water which is 50 mg/l. 2nd is Well I, which has 30 mg/l. 3rd one is the Well D and R2 has 20 mg/l. 4th one is Well N with 10 mg/l, lastly, R7 and R8 has 5 mg/l. Those were aren't mention are the limit of the vertical flow of groundwater.

C.)Areas were are contaminated are @ A, B, C, E, F, H, G, S2, R8, R7, R4, R1, Intersection of R1, R2, R3 ,R4 also R5 and R6.. Main sources are commercial buildings and factories, villages and Farms. Some of them are not contaminated because of there is no main source of contamination nearby. 

"Kabo" for a change.

DAY 49, LOG ENTRY # 8

So, for this week challenge is to reduce our water consumption for 3 days... For some reason, people are reacting on what is "Kabo" it is a water dipper. We are not the kind of people who boast around being rich, it is okay to be rich as long we have the "common sense" up to date then there are shameless assholes who just cant keep their mouth shut and keep on asking "Sir, what is a Kabo?" ugh...

In my case, it was 10 scopes in the 1st day and so the next day I reduced to 8 and in the 3rd day I tried 4, so far, so bad same as my hygiene. 

The question that our teacher launched to us are
1.) How does it feel to have your water consumption limited to a minimal amount? 

Very nice, it made me smell like a garbage can or worst a piece of shit.

2.)Is this something you can do long-term?
Nuh-uh... If you do it by long term, your hygiene would tell you to do it short term.

3.)In the future, with the amount of shortages we have when it comes to water, limiting your water consumption may be inevitable. What are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are similar as being sarcastic as I am, like you can always hire someone to do some water gathering ritual to your household.

Slopes that are seemingly dangerous..

DAY 42, LOG ENTRY # 7

Well, well, well... Just what I told you about in the title, here it is:

What did I just told you? seemingly "dangerous"

Why it is dangerous? take a look at the top part, anytime right now, with some weathering agent, it could create a rock slide, mudslide(if the soil is mixed with water.. duh) If with out the trees, it doesn't have time to hold anymore.

What to do with this land ?

DAY 35, LOG ENTRY # 6

(c) Google

Here we go again...The property of "IF" situations that may or may not happen I.R.L because were just at the mid-class life including my relatives but it doesn't  matter to me anyways..so the question is "You were given a sizable piece of land by your wealthy uncle" so here are the properties that our teacher proposed to us..

+It is highly arable (good for agriculture)
+It is rich in mineral deposits
+It is found in a prime area (good for commercial use)
+It has a fresh, clean river running through it.

(c) Google

Ahhh, the birth of new innovation, well sometimes we could use our brains for a bit. What I would like to do with the soil is 1.)Rice-fish farming method, in this way I can utilize the fresh, clean river by putting some connection to the farm then add fish, in that way, it could double the earnings.

2.) If it is rich in mineral deposits ,of course, we could do mining then process some of it to make them jewels or accessories then boom! Profit.

(c) Google

3.) If it is found in a prime land, I would build my house there. Sometimes it is nice to rest away from the noise such as people that would annoy you in daily basis of your life. A little bit of this is pretty relaxing and nice.

(c) Google

4.)If I have agricultural goods, simple to do is build a watermill next to my farm, near the river. The very reason to why I wanted a watermill so that it grind my grains during harvest time. Just the same concept with the Romans in the ancient times.

(c) Google

Well, it is nice to dream, making up scenarios that may or may not happen in my life, especially the 3rd. As a word of advice from my friend:

"Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many. working hard alone doesn't assure you that you'll achieve your dreams. actually there are more cases where you don't. even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least."

Minerals and Rock Formation v.2 [Frictional Mineral]

DAY 28, LOG ENTRY # 5

So this time, our teacher told us to be crazy.... technically speaking it is about on creating frictional minerals and I came up with the crazy idea of..

Procrastinite - Common mineral that shares the exterior property of a quartz, smokey and edgy. This mineral has the hardness of Apatite(6) in the Moh scale.[some have different source (?)] Color is shiny grey, Magnetism is more likely a "nah" but there is an effect, with the luster of the same color.

Shutterstock

Effects are :
+You become for lazy for a certain duration.
+You usually contemplate about things or in short terms procrastination.
+Easily forget things that you don't actually like.
+Naps (To the point that you forgot what day, month, year it is)
+You get tired easily.
+You don't want to deal with other people because it's tiring.
+Magnetism is great, to the point, when at hand, you will be attractive to the sleeping spots (e.g. Couch, bed and etc.) around the house.

But if you think of all these effects, it usually comes within the person, the person who is the true, veteran procrastinator..

There's the part of "I TOLD YOU SO"

IT IS A POWER NAP NOT JUST ANY REGULAR "NAP"

Minerals and Rock Formations

DAY 21, LOG ENTRY # 4

(c) google

"Which qualities / properties describe you the most?"

If you ask me, I am a Graphite mineral which is soft, although it is soft but it is the most stable mineral stable form of carbon under standard conditions. The property that exhibits in this mineral that I don't have is it's attractiveness or it's magnetism. First glance at myself and I was like "NAH". Even though graphite have weak magnetism, I don't exhibit that weak magnetism but maybe if I wait, it may come to me.

Senior High School Adventure!

DAY 14, LOG ENTRY # 3

"thoughts and adventures during your first month of Senior High life"

Life as a Senior High for the past month is ain't that bad ,I guess,¯\_(ツ)_/¯  anyways for the past 19 days ,to be precise, even though our class is in shambles with tiny groups I don't see it as a bad idea. You know we have different styles, taste in men and women and everything else, we have standards that we decided of our own that's why our class is in shambles yet I see peace on it. Slowly opening up to everyone with my greatest weapon of all : patience even though some of the subjects are pain in the ass, not quite exciting like our MATH 01 (SHHHHH... never tell anyone). Yeah... 3rd week of our stay in SMED313 then "BOOM!!" "AHHHHH NAG DUMOT NA ANG AKONG MAESTRA KA NAKO!!!" for the worst reason, "I DONT LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK TO ME" even though the manner I speak is always like this, what you didn't encounter someone like me in the past? but guess what I don't give a single flying fuck about it. Even though it got me thinking what she said at Tuesday (June 21, 2016) "I BEEN TEACHING FOR 3 YEARS" and then last Tuesday (July 5, 2016) "I BEEN TEACHING FOR 10 YEARS" Then a thought came "For the love of God, you've been teaching for 10 years and you can't stand me, Shame" 

Any who, It's been fun staying in character also. Your teaching style Sir, is the best. Hoping to learn more about the subject sir.

"BEST OF LUCK"

Geo sphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere

DAY 7, LOG ENTRY # 2

THINGS WE DO REGULARLY THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SPHERES THAT SURROUNDS US.

 GEO SPHERE
As simple as throwing your garbage anywhere could lead to this

Soil Contamination. I may be the person the throw my trash anywhere, back in the day of my very youth, but now it change after seeing or living the importance of segregating trashes. As our Earth science teacher told us about "If the waste is not properly segregated it could start a fire because of the high flammability of methane gas". Because of us, we are slowly killing our own environment. by maintaining the segregation of trashes it would increase our chances to avoid this. 
                                                                         ATMOSPHERE

Air Pollution. This cannot be avoided because of the enhancement of technology like cars. Cars emits carbon dioxide or (CO2) and it could contribute to add the effects of "Green House Gasses" and climate change. Although they have Electric cars such as "TESLA" this quite expensive. To lessen this pollution we are ought to plant more trees and try to ride a bicycle going to school or work if ever it is near.

HYDROSPHERE

Water Contamination. Includes a wide spectrum of Chemicals, pathogens, and physical changes such as elevated temperature and discoloration. While many of the chemicals and substances that are regulated may be naturally occurring. Because of this it could form green algae like this.

(c) 9GAG

Segregation is one of the key factor to avoid this and reduce industrial waste the would contaminate the water.

BIOSPHERE

All of these negative things we do is very harmful not only in the environment but also in the human and animal life. Yep we are slowly killing ourselves and even each other without knowing.

The Universal Question :

DAY 1, LOG ENTRY # 1

WHO ARE YOU IN THE MIDST OF THE UNIVERSE?
THIS WAS THE QUESTION THAT OUR TEACHER WAS ASKING US.

(c) From Google

A Human of course. Upon doing the stargazing at night, the stars were beautiful, that I appreciate it much more and question things about our very existence like "Are we alone in this universe?" If not, both are scary. Having a lot of knowledge of the known universe, it was very clear to me that our solar system is just a tiny spec in the milky way and microscopic in the observable universe. In addition I am always hoping to see improvement in our planet and may we find more species that may or may not related to us either way it is a good and bad at the same time a new experience.
