Most people loves music because the songs performed by the artist and made by the composers communicates through our senses and emotions. Let's take some time travel to our past and reminisce the things that made us cry, made us laugh and taught us experiences we shall never forget. Music is like life. God is the one who plays the instrument and we are the musical instruments handled by God with care, loved, and most of all, molded through time. We become great and better individuals because of God's kindness and abundant grace. Special thanks to the Almighty Father who has helped me through the years. Thank you also to Mrs. Somoza, our high school band teacher for teaching us how to play the flute and also to Kuya Jude. I will never forget you. You and your advices have helped me to become the better person that I am now. I will be forever grateful to all of thee :)

MUSIC IS MY PASSION
One famous quote I truly could not forget about music is that "only music can let us sing, only music can let us dance, and only music can let our mind reminisce back to our past. And what's good about music is that, it is the words of what we feel inside especially when are mute by the words of our hearts. NO MUSIC, NO LIFE!" I can really relate to this saying because I really love listening to music. One good characteristic about music is that it can communicate to people with the heart or through emotions. Whenever the sound of music is sad, we tend to be sentimental. Whenever it is jolly, we tend to dance with the beat. When it is loud, we tend to cover our ears and get mad. It inflicts us to respond to the stimuli through our ears. You see, once we react towards a certain thing it is because our brain receives the message and interprets it in a way that we become outrageous, calm, gay, etc. But the thing about music is that it's not only interpreted by our brain but through the deepest roots of our hearts. We remember our past, we imagine our future. Everywhere in this world, there's music. Even the sound of our mothers' voice while singing us a lullaby when we were yet infants, relaxes us and makes us sleep, feeling at ease with our mothers' hands carrying us. We become really affected with music.
Every time I listen to the voice of Gary Valenciano, Lead me Lord, it leads me to prayer. I look back and remembered how many times I stumbled, but how many times God was still there to rescue me. He always comforts me consoles me. He teaches me patience. He taught me humility. And then, I know that life is really the most precious gift he has given us. It's amazing how music brings our souls to peace and that peace is found through our deepest passion which is the passion to bring people to unity with our CREATOR. Love music, create songs of love, love others, Love GOD.
WHY BLOG?
Blog making is very rampant nowadays. Many people share their interests, give out knowledge and opinions through this medium. People knew that it is one way to reach out to community through web or internet. First reason, why people becomes more and more interested with blogs is that it is easy. Many blog creator websites are at hand. One example is the blogspot.com. It's conducive and it's also an easy way to share posts or featured articles. Aside from writing stories, articles, we can as well share educational videos, images or pictures. There are a lot of things that we can do with our blogs. One good characteristic with blogs is that it is dynamic. It's unending change suits well with the interest with the blogger (or the one who creates, write or make a blog). It is very obvious that people nowadays have laptops, computers, ipads, and other high dignified technologies for researching. Once we have assignments, projects, thesis, group or feasibility study. One appropriate way to find something faster is through internet and blog is one key important source to find what we're looking for. Amazing right?
This is one power of blog and the bloggers out there are way to intellectual to share anything they think and feel to the public. Freedom of speech is pretty well exercised through this. But since it is not absolute, then there are also restrictions to take into consideration. Plagiarism or taking other accounts whose owned legally by some one else without acknowledging is one common thing here. This is a form of stealing and other means of saying unwanted or bad words that might offend others. One good importance of blog is that there are forums or it opens up topic and and related questions to the topic that will be answered by the members of the blog society. There are tons of importance or answers why people blog. These are only some of it. So, it's good to inform others through our blog but with a knowledge that we should inculcate our minds and hearts that everything has its own limitations.

"INTERNET ETIQUETTES"
Etiquette stands for the proper action done or the accurate words spoken towards a given scenario. This applies to formal events such as fine dining activities, public speaking, argumentation and debate, parties, and also with computers. It involves internet etiquettes on blogs, social networking, and emails. When we do not have the proper etiquette, often we hear people say "he or she lacks etiquette." It is because we do not know that the action or the words we said and did, are in a sense inappropriate. Now, we move on with the discussion of INTERNET ETIQUETTES. How do we have good or proper internet etiquettes?
Let's start with the e-mail (electronic mail) etiquette. We must first know our purpose or goal. Our goal is to show respect to others especially with their accomplishments, and for what they represent. One way is to identify what fields needs to be occupied when composing and email. For example, when we are routed to the blank boxes for the receiver (where we will send the email to), the sender (your email address), subject (what your articles or post is all about), and the CC (all other members of the committee). We must identify the person whom we will send our post to. If it is for someone whose position is higher or VIP (Very Important Person) i,e; teacher, professor, principal, dean, President, Queen, King, etc. Then, there's a need to put a salutation in the compose box. For instance, Mr. Brookfield, Mrs. Anderson, Dean Ma. Charlotte Carino, President Benigno Aquino III, Queen Elizabeth and many others. It is important to have the salutation as formal as possible. We must have it addressed to the full name of the receiver as much as possible and as much as possible, no nicknames. The receiver (To:) field, should be checked thoroughly to ensure that we will be sending it correctly and so we could not receive the "mailer demon" or failed message. The field for the sender (your email), sometimes is filled up right away when clicking on the compose message button. The CC field should be listed with Committee Head first, and then by order of importance. The subject meanwhile, should be indicated properly where what the topic you would want to give to the receiver. The subject and the sender and the date and time to when you send your topic is appears in the inbox interface of the receiver, so when you have put in the subject an uninteresting subject or a not so important subject, so it becomes informal.
In social networking, like facebooks and twitter, etc, etiquette is also needed. Responding to notifications, comment take it for example, needs not to be harsh or bad. We should respond to such things with good manners. We must know that people whom we will respond to are humans like you, who also have feelings. Same way goes for the one who post the comment or who sends notes or private messages to the other party. Words such as bullshit, fuck you, motherfucker, etc, should not be applied. Uploading images on the social networking sites, should also be applied with etiquette, pictures which are unnecessary or which do not apply like pornographic images shouldn't be placed in such a way that minors and others can see it. It is bad!
And of course, in blog making or blog writing, proper code of conduct should also be applied. One thing that we need to consider is to acknowledge the source(s). We must know that when we do not own a property, we must indicate where we got the article. Otherwise, if we own the said article, or if we are the one who wrote or made the topic, then we must post somethings which is very interesting or educational. Because if we post something that will hurt others, mock others, that is unethical. We must put proper measures or think or comprehend what we will say or do so good outcomes or output will be met.

Windstruck
The film stars Jun Ji-hyun as Officer Yeo Kyung-jin, an ambitious young female police officer serving on the Seoul police department. One day while chasing a purse snatcher, she accidentally captures Go Myung-woo (played by Jang Hyuk), a physics teacher at an all-girls school, who was actually trying to catch the thief. Later, Myung-woo discovers the stolen purse, but just as he picks it up, Kyung-jin spots him and tries to arrest him again. Kyung-jin is then given the job of escorting Myung-woo through a dangerous district, only to be distracted when she tries to break up a meeting between Russian Mafia and Korean gangsters. With Myung-woo handcuffed to her, Kyung-jin almost single-handedly brings down the two rival gangs (although she is helped when she accidentally causes the groups to start shooting at each other).
The first half of the film, told from Myung-woo's point of view, details the couple's growing attraction and love for each other, which climaxes with a trip to the countryside where Myung-woo tells Kyung-jin that if he were ever to die, he wanted to come back to earth as the wind. Soon after, he is almost killed in a freak automobile accident, but Kyung-jin saves his life.
The film takes a turn into the fantasy genre in its second half after Myung-woo is accidentally shot and killed by another officer (although the situation is such that Kyung-jin thinks that it was her shot that killed him) as Kyung-jin chases after a criminal. Kyung-jin falls into a suicidal depression over his death and attempts to kill herself several times, almost succeeding when she throws herself off a building, only to be saved when a giant balloon floats under her. Soon after, she experiences visitations from Myung-woo, who appears as the wind, sending her messages and, at one point, he even appears in her dreams in order to give her the will to live after she is nearly shot to death by a criminal.
Ultimately the film follows a similar path set out by the American film Ghost with Myung-woo and Kyung-jin communicating and sharing one final gesture of love before he moves on to the afterlife. Myung-woo said that he will whisper, when she hears him whisper in the wind, she will meet someone with a soul like him. Myung-woo told Kyung-jin that he will always be beside her inside a book with a photo left by Myung-woo in the restaurant before he rushed to meet Kyung-jin who was chasing the insane criminal.
In the first half of the film, Myung-woo told that his only memory of high school was his high school trip. The book and the photo is found and returned to Kyung-jin in the police station. The photo showed that on Myung-woo's trip, Kyung-jin was nearby. This proved Myung-woo's "I'm always beside you" was true to Kyung-jin. Kyung-jin rushed out to locate the finder of the book, ultimately ending up in the train station, where she is saved by Cha Tae-Hyun's character (credited as The Guy). Myung-woo whispered that The Guy is the one with the soul like him. Kyung-jin whispers that "he is always beside her."

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE
When the first time I entered the gates of this school, I knew that this among the other institutions, would make a big difference in my life. The picturesque scenery, the wonderful landscapes, the warm and approachable teachers and staff, created a sense of vision that I will reach my goal of success through this university. I stumbled upon the thought if I made the right decision to enroll in a school like Foundation. I spent half semester in my first year in college at the Asian College of Science and Technology (ACSAT). I enrolled in BSIT (Bachelor of Science in Information Technology). I was really forced then to be at that school due to the decision of my grandmother. I only have two options or choice in what college I want to spent my four years in after high school graduation; NORSU and FU. Of course, some people have referred these two schools to me. NORSU, which is a the only state university in Negros Oriental and FU which has a massive of high qualitative materials and educational tools. And after the semestral break of 2008, I made a choice to be in Foundation University.
I was attracted to the social garden with coy fishes and the fountain with Dr. Jose Rizal's statue in the middle. I saw him holding a book in his left hand while sitting and comprehending. I said education is really the center of mission in this school, not only ordinary education but quality education. I have made up my mind to choose BSHM-HRM (Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management major in Hotel and Restaurant Management) instead of continuing the course I had in ACSAT. I know many markets around the world are looking for competent chefs especially in hotels and restaurants. I continued my quest and during my first year here, I joined the oratorical contest. I was chosen by our Dean, Ma. Charlotte V. Carino. I really wanted to improve my confidence. A series of training and practice, and yes. I won among the rest of the colleges in the university. After that, I still join another competition during the "Buwan ng Wika," which is the Balagtasan (Filipino Debate). Another pride was brought to our college 'cause we became the champion for the second time.
One of my classmates in my English class, Clark referred me to the program director of G101, Mrs. Muffet Villegas. After she listened to my voice while greeting our friends live "on air," she said I have the potential to be part of the radio station. I then, was part of the 12 afternoon news anchors. Great! Time passed by, and then I was promoted to be one of the Disc Jockeys (DJ's). I was assigned the Sunday "morning spell" show every 8 am to 12 noon. My communication skills then became better. I join several other competitions and brought the bacon home again. I hosted several major events of the school also. It was really fun. And now, I'm ready to face the world. As the vision of Foundation University states that, "Foundation University envisions itself as a dynamic, progressive environment that cultivates effective learning, generates creative ideas, responds to societal needs and offers equal opportunity to all," it did help me to improve myself more and helps my transformation from better to best. I am really thankful to Foundation which taught me a lot of things that I will forever bare in mind and heart especially in the field of my work.
I will establish my own business someday. And I know that with the training this school has brought me and through my dedication, and faith in God. It will be possible! Thank you Foundation University! You're the best and yes, I can be what I want to be.

ADJUSTING
"High School life is the best." I will never forget my teacher saying this one. She even told us that if ever we reach College, we will surely say she's correct. College life is more serious and every different subject you have, you also gain different classmates so there's no way you could have a close friend. She even said the words no one would ever love to hear: "It's hard." No one would engage into something hard unless it's the only way to get you out of poverty. Of course, our parents would always say that education is the only treasure we can inherit out from them. True, I would say. Education is important or should I say "College" is important.Well, so much for this one. What I would really want to share with you is how did I adjust from the "hardships" of College. Hmmm, how did I?
College life is like dragging myself to death. You might say it's exaggerating but it's true and I'm only telling you how I feel. I feel tired. There's a lot of homework and projects to do and you have to submit it on time. Well, high school's stuffs should also be given on due dates but you can still ask the instructors to give them at a later time. During your secondary part of life, you still get the chance to enjoy, recreate and have a lot of time to relax. Well, you can still get to enjoy and recreate in College but relax, I think you're only given less time for it. Stressful, I would say. You're so pre-occupied with a lot of things because somethings are keeping yourself to be busy. You're always running, wishing the time would stop to an end so that you can have the time to unwind but that would never happen. Time would never stop and College would remain as it is. Hard and less time to have relaxation. But all things I can set aside because of something that keeps me going. "Determination."
"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." This is taken from the website http://thinkexist.com/quotations/determination/. Each time I must do some requirements, I only think that I learn something out from it and it's for my own good. If I keep on thinking I'm tired then definitely I feel the same way at the end of the day. My mind affects the way I respond to some activities at school. If my mind would say I can't do it, then I turn out unsuccessful. Famous Christian writer Joel Osteen even said "don't live in mediocrity." Every thing starts with a reason and hardships are a way to keep you in the right track and for you to bend and go on with the flow of the wind. It's one way to give you the strength to handle all curdles.
Each time I go to School, I must leave other unnecessary problems at home. Problems should be left behind because how can I focus on much more important things If I don't set myself positively? Others even doesn't know that I'm laughing on the outside but crying on the inside. I want to do things which I must keep reminding myself that I can handle everything. "Success is never fatal and failure, never fatal its courage that counts." This is my favorite quote and I found it from a calendar. Everything aren't constant in this world. It's only change that's constant. A way to change our self into a person of courage and self-determination. How I manage to adjust myself from the hardships of College life is through the determination that I must acquire to become a productive student of excellence and global competence from the School who taught me how to be: Foundation University.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WOMEN
If you're well dressed, she thinks you're a playboy
If you're not, she thinks you're rugged
If you kiss her, you're not a gentleman
If you don't, you're not a man.
If you praise her, she thinks you're lying
If you don't, you're good for nothing,
If you agree to all her likes, she abuses,
If you don't, she doubts your love.
If you make a romance, you're an experienced man
If you don't you're half a man.
If you visit her often, she claims its boring
I f you don't, she accuses you of double-crossing
If you visit another, she accuses you of being a traitor;
If she is visited by another,
"Ah, it's natural for a girl."
If you are a minute late, She complains it's hard to wait;
If you're on time, for hours she'll make you wait.
If you Propose love on a brief acquaintance, you're a free guy;
If you postpone it to later, she wonders why.
If you fail to assist her in crossing the street, you lack ethics;
If you do, she thinks its just one of man's tactics
If you kiss her always, she thinks you're abusing;
If you kiss her once in a while, she says you're cold.
If you attempt romance, she says you don't respect her;
If you don't, she claims you're dry.
If you contradict her, she doesn't like it.
If you don't, she thinks you're easily deceived.
Oh, women!-thou art simple,
Yet so complex to understand,
So weak, yet a proven conqueror
So confusing but so desirable!
