Maam Nanette held a very educational seminar.

She was a very effective speaker.

Too bad we had no highschool audience, because, for sure, they would be convinced to take up DevCom.

I bet it would even attract a number of shifties to the course.

The talk enlightened me somehow in a way that it gave me a clear picture of my future, from which major I should take up to the kind of job I want to land on after graduating with flying colors.

Ma'am Nanette had aroused the zest of staying with the course and finishing the course.

I just love DevCom; its work and the whole feeling of it. I can just see myself in it, and it fits me perfectly.

I am happy.

I am DevCom,

proud and strong.

Itaas ang bandila!

GO, DEVCOM!!!!

i'm the map, i'm the map, i'm the maaaap!

"What is community mapping for you based on your experience in the past two exercises?"

Commmunity mapping is not a very difficult task. It only requires time and dedication from the map makers. Actually, for me, it became an excuse to spend time with my classmates. We walked on foot under the scorching noon-time sun and took turns in sketching landmarks. Now I can affirm that community mapping establishes deeper relationships among its makers. And when done properly and accurately, it can be very useful to the community. A community map is significant, especially to tourists, because it is the very exact representation of the community itself and it serves as a guide around it.

"How do i think it could be applied to our communities?"

The perfect application of this is to start mapping our own communities accurately and make sure that the maps are disseminated around the community for the people to use :D

 

snapshots of reality..

I feel so lucky... Sitting here and trying to get some homework done.. Generally speaking, people had been accustomed to the notion that everyday is a reality for each and everyone of us. It's more of a cliche already, and yet people still consign to it. People believe that, even I do. But the way we perceive reality is relative. Some people are contented of looking at it on the surface, and some plunge deeper into the bottom. So where am I taking this?

Looking around the exhibit gave me new insights about reality. I 've always thought that this, my own everyday living, is the entire reality. I was being apathetic about the happenings outside my box. But the photos shook me out and made me become aware that just a few kilometers away, people are fighting tooth and nail for survival. The particular photo of a dead child covered with cloth and the other casualties made me become aware that innocent people are dying probably while I'm sleeping or while I'm hanging out with my peers, or while I'm sitting here right now. Normal children should be smiling, dressed in school uniforms, not in battle uniforms, crying as they are forced to battle. But this, I believe, is reality; a nation almost divided by the excessive thirst for dominance.

change.. for the better

"Development.."

Reading the several definitions i got hold of led me to a conclusion that development is a process in which something gradually passes or unfolds by degrees to a different stage or state towards reaching a goal or reaching a higher standard or reaching a state of greater civilization .

So far on the length of the reporting, I can evaluate that each of the MDG goals is equally imperative in its own way. The accomplishment of any one of these eight goals would foster success of the others for they are interconnected. And I believe that the world would achieve real development when each one of us would do our parts and contribute to the success of the MDG goals.
