Food

Activity#16 (Ruby Portillo)
What is FOOD? Everyone knows that. You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t. For me, it’s very simple: food is fish. I just love fish (especially eating them!). I wonder what your favorite food is? Let me guess… hamburgers? Ice cream?Candy bars? Well that’s probably more likely than raw carrots or garlic. So anyway, what exactly is food? Let’s look at what it’s made of. Food (which really includes many types of drinks too – like milk shakes and cola – but not water) is made up of nutrients. These are the things which give you energy or help build up your body as you grow.
There are many foods in the world, Like Filipino food, Mediterranean food, Spanish food, English Food, Japanese food and Chinese food, but all the food that I mention all I want is the our best Filipino food.  My favorite food in Filipino are the followings:
Stews:
 

• Pork Sinigang
• Pork Afritada
• Caldereta
• Chicken Curry
• Dinuguan
• Chicken/Pork Adodo

Fried/Grilled

• Pinoy BBQ
• Lumpia Shanghai
• Fried Chicken

That’s all I want in Filipino food. Every time when I’m bored I eat and eat and eat. Enjoy eating guys  But CHICKEN ADOBO IS MY FAVORITE. 

Favorite Sport

Activity#15 (Ruby Portillo)

I really love going outside and playing outdoor games. Of the many sports that I have played in high school, I like playing basketball the most, because it is challenging and it requires\takes a lot of teamwork to win a game. And I also love playing badminton and Volleyball.

Basketball is my favorite sport. I would like to play it more often; however most of my friends are always busy. In addition the weather is also a problem because I hate playing in the rain, and I worry about getting a suntan. There are rules and regulations in basketball that govern the play, while many of the basic rules are uniform throughout the world, variations do exist.  There are few equipment in playing basketball, the goal is placed 10 feet (3.05m) above the court. Originally a basket was used (thus "basket-ball"), so the ball had to be retrieved after each made shot.                                 

Original Rules:

• The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
• A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.
• A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules three and four and such described in rule five.
• No shouldering, holding, striking, pushing, or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next basket is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed.
• When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play and played by the first person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side.                                                                                   

Love ♥

Activity#14 (Ruby Portillo)                                   

 

What is love?.. Many believe love is a sensation that magically generates when Mr. or Ms. Right appears. No wonder so many people are single. But, It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. love is something that gives life to someone, it kind of nurtures a person and gives us the interest to live. So love in form, of any kind is good only thing, it should not over flow for I believe that anything in excess in not good. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. The one you wake up next to and doesn't mind if you have morning breath.

For me? There’s a different kinds of Love. There are so many levels to love, that I can only express a few of them here. These are the ones we see most in life. Friendship starts this list off. Yes, it doesn't seem like it, but we do feel love towards our friends, this is what helps us get along so well, and why we miss them when we don't see our friends for a long time. It's also why we hold certain friends over others no matter what happens. Sometimes, the bond between friends deepens to the point where a stronger bond of love is made, making them family. Another level of love, are for our siblings and other family members. Even though we do things to our family members, and sometimes we don't like some of our family, that bond is still there. It's this family bond level of love that brought about the phrase, blood is thicker than water. We will do things for our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and children before we would even consider doing them for anyone else. Many wars have been started because of this family level, brother avenging brother or father, father protecting his wife and children, or even vice versa. This simple family bond can even extend to include our pets, amazingly enough, and that is a good thing.

What is love? I don't know, but I'll do what I can to express it tomy family and friends, and to every single pet I have or ever will own in the best possible way that I can. So, Spread your love because love changes everything.

My Dreams

Activity#12 (Ruby Portillo)

Hi everybody! All of people in the earth I believe that you have a dream(many dreams) and goal in your life then take the life to following the fantastic dream. As for me, I have a dream that one day I will be a teacher in upcountry where ‘s a close nature and spend my life like a simple human, but be happy in the bottom of my heart . Anyway, right now that’s my dream,so it’s not the real thing today. I 'll be just doing my best for my good dream and hope it becomes in the reality soon. I assumed that everyone here must have a dream, too. 

First, Every since a very young age I have loved flying. Since I was about 12 years old I have known that my dream, my one ultimate goal in life is to become an pilot and fly for a living. Now as I approach my 14th birthday, the desire to become a pilot just becomes stronger and stronger every day as the days pass by. I am fortunate enough that I get to travel through the airport once every year. Words just can’t describe it for some reason but I just know this is me I feel at home I just get this feeling that I know that this is what I want to do with my life. should I follow my dreams, what do you think?
