Hunger Strike

Hunger always strikes…

Today, earning money is so hard. People should understand that life is not that easy anymore. Students, as my focus in this essay, should commend their parents and guardians who are supporting them in their studies. But because of economic crisis, parents tend to lessen the allowances of their children to save money. Students should understand what their parents undergo in these situations. But with that dilemma, it became so hard for students to budget their allowances. And when it comes to buying food, students became unsatisfied with what they eat. Sometimes the food is not enough to make them full or sometimes, the food is really not that good. Those things are also my concerns but people cannot do something about it. So, I have come up with ideas that could make our stomachs full without too much spending. Students might need these tips when they encounter shortage in their cash.

Ø   Home is the best

My first suggestion is to eat as many food as you want while you are still at home. I do this everytime I go out of the house. Students who still live with their guardians have this advantage and I require them that they grab this opportunity. It is very hard to live alone without any support especially when you start to work. No one would cook your food from the moment you wake up for school until you go home but only yourself. This concerns also for those who live in dormitories. And I know that students today are too lazy to do things all by themselves, right? Students who live in their dorms, don’t worry, I still have more tips.

Ø   Street Special

This is my favorite. I love food that can be bought from the street vendors, like isaw, kwek-kwek, bopis, fish balls, chicken balls and all the kinds of balls, and etc.These kinds of food only worth 5 -10 pesos per stick. To complete my meal, I would buy rice from carinderias nearby. Rice should only cost 8-10 pesos per plastic. One can save money if they do this. The last time I’ve done the street special, I only spent 60 pesos and it saved my stomach from receding that time. :D

Ø   Water works

This tip is just quick. If you want to be full in a hurry, you should drink many water when you eat. Drinking many water while eating can give you the feeling that your stomach is fully charged. It is because the water that you drank can fill up your stomach quickly. It is also beneficial to people who wants to lose weight. :D

Ø   Friends are friends

Friends are always there for us. When we have problems, when we are happy, all the time; and we need them most when we are hungry. :D I know that students today are friendly and if you are one of those sociable guys, you might as well have food in your stomach. If all the students in the room are your friends, you can kindly ask them one by one to give you just one peso. That would be enough to satisfy your hunger. For example, your class is composed of 40 students, and let’s say that only 4 of them are the ones you don’t know, quick math tells me that you can have 36 pesos if each of your friends gave you a peso. But guys, don’t do this everyday. Maybe you can do this twice or thrice a month. That is the maximum. I’m not saying that you should only use your friends for your own good rather, give something back to them that does not involve money. Be always thankful and be the greatest friend they’ve ever had.

Ø   A visit to Mr. Sandman

Sleeping is my hobby along with eating. And when I’ve got nothing to eat, I go to sleep. Yup, it is effective plus, you get to rest and forget about your hunger for some time. Sleeping is very essential to us because it brings back our lost energy, gives us the pleasure of resting and for a fact, it can reduce heart attacks but I’m not gonna explain that. :D Just remember, sleep if there is nothing to eat. :D

Hunger always strikes. You cannot prevent yourself from starting to get hungry but you can stop hunger when it already occurred.  We need to eat because it is necessary for our body to take in food so we wouldn’t die. I know that it’s hard to get the kinds of food that you really wanted today, but by doing some techniques, you can save some money to buy what you want. Maybe my tips are not applicable for those who are well-off because they get what they want, but they can do these things if they want to...if they want to. :D Always remember to be wise in making decisions. This is my last tip; eat whatever you want if you have the money to buy it. Our life is limited so we should maximize it to its full potential. We only live once, might as well use it for our happiness. :D

How To Be Invisible To Your Terror Professor

Terror professors are the people mostly hated by students. Maybe because of their nagging, overloaded seatworks and homeworks, and of course their extremely ultra mega hard quizzes.  Well for me that’s very true and I think that other students would agree to me. I know that it’s harder to understand what they teach also because of that unexplained creepy aura that surrounds them that makes their students’ hearts stop and especially if the subjects they teach are your weaknesses. They give the students the fear and hatred that they won’t forget for a long time. But as you read this article, maybe you can get some ideas on how to make yourself invisible to them or how to avoid those locked flaming red eyes  of your professors unto you.

> First one is to be quiet. Being quiet can make an impression that you are always listening to them. Make sure that you always look at them and act like you are really listening. Nodding of your head can work.  Please, please, please, I know what you are thinking, but guys it is wrong! Remember that being quiet doesn’t mean sleeping in the class.

> Second is to be punctual. Don't be absent or late because every meeting is important. Your professors will always recognize you if you will continue being late or absent. By the time you attend their class, be ready for the big explosion that they will drop on you.

> Next is to be a teacher’s pet. This is very simple and I think most of the students know that. I know you hate them to the bones but just make a little effort in carrying their stuff, greeting them always, following what they say, erasing the board for them and giving them compliments. Keep in mind that giving compliments have limitations, don’t exaggerate it because they will find out that you are only faking everything nice you have done for them.

> Fourth is to be patient. Patient when it comes to their attitude. They are really mean and rude to students because they are terror professors, duh? Of course, those are their signature characteristics. You should not look gloomy and angry in class because that will only trigger their senses to punish you more.

> Another one is to be diligent to do the assigned seatworks, homeworks and projects. In that way, they will not get mad at you because you will be ready when you come to class. Some of the students copy their seat works and home works and I think it is normally practiced. I know it’s bad but what can a student do if he/she doesn't really get the lesson. :D Just don’t do it

> Next, don’t get caught saying bad things to them. I know some of the students always tell their never ending complaints for the whole day about their terror professors but never ever do that in public areas or near the faculty room because you already know what will be the consequences. (YOU’LL DIE!!!) * Extra Tip: use nicknames so they would not have the idea that you are talking about them. Just make sure that you won’t describe them detail by detail. Again, if they caught you doing that… you know what will happen.

> Lastly, if all else fails, students must be responsible enough about their actions. This is like the summary of all I said in the previous tips. Do their requirements, study hard, try to pass their exams, listen to them, be active in class and respect them. Think of the reasons why they are like that. Do not always think about yourself first. Maybe they have reasons why they are acting like that. Just do your best in your class and be always positive so that it will make good reactions to the both of you.

Yes, they are witches, devils, piece of hell in earth, your gigantic heavy cross or so whatever, but….a big BUT..they are still our professors and we should always respect them. Just kill them with your nice attitude and always have a clear and smiling face whenever the going gets tougher and tougher. Oh, one more thing, make them as your inspiration to strive harder than you are doing right now. They just want their students to excel and when you excel, they will never bother you again.  If there is a chance that they will still bother you, you’ll be confident enough because you know what to do. Or someday you can brag about yourself to them when you really score big time in your future career. Study, study, study. It is hard; tell me about it, but surely it will pay off nicely.

About The Author

Article number two it is. Well it is all about me! Or somewhat about me. :D Our professor told us to write an article about ourselves and here I am now sitting in my room, scratching my head for ideas, cracking my fingers to waste time and continuing to type to accomplish my task. I hope I can do a better job writing this one than my first article. :D

dedios.expo is a person you will remember until you die. :D He is a person full of bliss. He’s not a guy who loves studying but if it’s really really really needed, he will break his own rule. He loves to be on the top but he’s too lethargic to take step towards the peak. dedios.expo is one in a zillion. :D

dedios.expo always have a smile on his face. He wants to be happy all the time because he does not want things that bring sadness to ruin his day. He is always active and talkative but not to the extreme. He is not that friendly but if he becomes your friend, you will surely be happy that you have him as one. He can be the one that will make you laugh your heart out.

He is not a student that does every school work. Like a normal student, he copies homework when he does not have one. Most of the time, he finishes his seatwork and exams all by himself. Of course, he is not perfect that is why he needs help sometimes. :D But when there is no other option, he will have the initiative to do tasks. He sometimes do it completely or almost complete. :D He can be diligent sometimes if the situation needs it.

He really wanted to be the one that all people will respect. But he does not want to do all the things, he just wants to do a part of a big task and be commended for what he had done. He does not want to be a leader but he wants to be a good follower. He does not want to be on the spotlight rather he wants it with others joining him. dedios.expo is lazy but can be hard-working if he is interested in what he is doing.

He can make your life worth living. :D He can make your time with him worth spending. :D He can be reliable in doing such things but don’t expect all from him. :D He can be what he wants if he starts to make a move to be it. dedios.expo is one of the few out of the ordinary guys you want to be with. :D

My First!!!

Wow it's my first time to write a blog and I really don't know where to start. :D Maybe i should start writing a blog about myself doing this project. :D Yep it is a project and I am required to this so i should get typing more and more and more. :D

I was shocked when my prof told the class that we need to make a blog and write about something. I was shocked because I am really not good in writing. I only do simple essays and articles when I write for my grades sake. As my prof said to me, I have the right idea but only a safe one. :D For example, I only write sentences about animals or things that I see and in that sentence I only describe them in the simplest way to make sure I am writing a correct paragraph. I'm not the kind of person that loves to write and read but i think writing article including in this blog can help me furnish my skills in writing and communicating as well. What motivates me is my grades because if I don't do this, of course I'll fail in my class. :D I also heard that being a good blogger can earn me money. When I heard that I told to myself that, "I want that, I want money and I wanna be good in writing. HAHAHA!" :DD Well that's a double whammy for me. I earn money and at thesame time, I achieve more experience everytime  i will write an article. :D I wanted to exercise my brain in these kinds of activities. One of the reasons is I am a mass communication student and I should have the skill in writing because it is badly needed in our major classes. I can  also use it in the future when I start to work. Also, I can make blogging as my past time, just to share my ideas to all the people who would give a minute to read my article. I know what I'm writing now is not that good, but I believe that if I work on this skill, maybe more people would appreciate my works and that I think would made me proud of myself. :D Well, if that is I pursue blogging. I wish I would because I'm a lazy guy but I want to excel on things so I could boost my self-esteem and i hope blogging could be one of the things that I can excel and be proud of in the future, my future. :D
