We started discussing about the sewing machine last week. It's mostly like a review only because we've discussed about it since grade school. It was always dreadful feeling for me studying about the sewing machine because there are just so many parts and functions to remember.
We presented the different troubles while using the machine through group presentations. And what made it more interesting is that the groupings we used is the MI groupings. There were different kinds of presentation to look forward.
Sewing machine is very essential in our lives for without it we don't know what we will wear in our everyday living; without it, we don't have clothes to wear which is one of the basic necessities in life.
Our laboratory last week and today was such a challenging yet super fun experience. It was challenging because - first, we were under time pressure and second, we were not too sure with some things we are doing - but we are aware of the procedures, there were just doubts that came our way because of lack of expertise. It was uber fun because - first, I felt the cooperation in the group. If the members of a group are not cooperative, there is no way one can finish a work successfully. Cooperation and unity is very important in a group in order to accomplish the given project. And second, it was fun because I loved the finish products we were able to do. I appreciated it because it is the product of the joint effort of our group. The sweat and migraine are all worth it. I believe I can apply all these values in the future that will help me to be a better person and be successful.


Our lesson about the utensils in the kitchen was a bit embarrassing. It's because we were not familiar on the names of the utensils. The appearance is familiar but I do not know the term or its name. So after the discussion I am now well-informed on the different utensils in the kitchen that I sometimes use. And I am very looking forward in going to the laboratory :D

The healthy foods we eat may look not so pleasing or like "walang sustansya" but after learning the different vitamins/nutrients we can get from the food, I appreciated them more. I realized that there are very very many things they can do and can help in the functions of our body. They are of big help in our daily activities. We should always eat the right kinds of foods to get the right amount of nutrients our body needs in order to function effectively and efficiently and to protect us from diseases.


Uhmm.. I am just going to share with you this conversation I had with my mother and my sibling. This is related to our past lesson, Communication Breakdown. I've been waiting for the perfect timing to tell my parents how I really feel when they compare me with others. It finally happened though I wasn't able to tell everything.


I was able to let her know my feelings with the help of my sister and at the same time, I learned something from her. Isn't it nice??
(continuation of my last reflection)

I'll add something about my emotional changes. Ma'am had mentioned that we gradually learn to control our emotions under various situations. This is very true to me. If before, I just cry over some very light matters, now, I gained patience && the ability to control myself from pouring out my emotions. I learned to weigh the situation up and stop myself and my emotions.

If the day didn't go well and I was not feeling well for some reason, I just cry at night. Since I have my own room and I'm alone, I can pour my emotions out and cry myself 'til I'm satisfied without the knowledge of the others. That's the advantage of having your own room :D:D:D. That's my own way of taking away the "heavy baggage" of my heart. It's true that if you cry, you'll feel lighter. And I always talk to God, I ask him why it happened, why me, that I'm tired and I just want to stop.
