        In our subject Trends there are many things that I surely learn but there is this topic that caught my attention which is the Planetary Networks. What is Planetary Networks? Planetary Networks are the natural extension of Information Networks. By all means planetary networks is defined as inter connection and interrelation among various elements in the natural environment and affecting earth as well as elements beyond earth surface. I gain many lessons in our topic planetary networks because Planetary Networks have different sub topics like for example in planetary networks that tackle about technology and planetary networks that tackle about climate change.

      Climate change is the one that we are experiencing right now it is the change in climate that happen for a long period of time. Climate change can affect lives of many people that is why I feel alarmed when I heard that some people doesn’t believe in climate change because for me it is a representation that they don’t  care at all in what’s happening in our country or even in our world. Because of our trend class I became aware on what is happening in our country the changes that we are experiencing now. I became more aware on the things that I should do to help protect our mother earth. I learned that everything that we do have a corresponding consequence. Our country is a fast phased country because we acquire new knowledge in a span of time we get news instantly we connect to people instantly with just one click we could see that there are positive effects of being fast phased but there are also negative effects of being a fast phased country like for example we tend to forget our own obligation for the cleanliness of our mother earth. Trends made me realized that there is a connection for everything for example the question that most people asked is why we are experiencing this kind of weather and we can answer this question with the right knowledge that we have. Everyone of us can help in changing our world into a better place for us to live in with the small things that we do we can surely make a difference. There are threatening effects of climate change when it continues like for example the reduction of agricultural yield the decrease of supplies that we need. I could say that in studying Trends we are not only studying the trending or the popular things but also we study the effects and connection of whats trendy in our lives we can see or observe trends in a daily basis because I believe that Trends is everywhere.

About the Author

The author Guillermo del Toro have directed many other films he is a Mexican film director,screen writer, producer and novelist. In his filmmaking career, del Toro has shifted between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces. The film utilizes subtitles for its interpretation into different dialects, including English. Del Toro kept in touch with them himself, since he was baffled with the subtitles of his past Spanish film, The Devil's Backbone. In a meeting, he said that they were "for the reasoning debilitated" and "unbelievably awful". He went through a month working with two other individuals, and said that he didn't need it to "feel like... watching a subtitled film". Del Toro has said the film has strong connections in theme to The Devil's Backbone and should be seen as an informal sequel dealing with some of the issues raised there. Fernando Tielve and Íñigo Garcés, who played the protagonists of The Devil's Backbone, make cameo appearances as unnamed guerrilla soldiers in Pan's Labyrinth. Del Toro got the idea of the faun from youth encounters with "clear imagining". He expressed on The Charlie Rose Show that each midnight, he would wake up, and a faun would bit by bit venture out from behind the granddad's clock. Originally, the faun should be an exemplary half-man, half-goat faun loaded with excellence. In any case, at last, the faun was changed into a goat-confronted animal totally made out of earth, greenery, vines, and tree husk. He turned into a baffling, semi-suspicious relic who gave both the impression of reliability and numerous signs that caution somebody to never trust in him by any stretch of the imagination. 

My thoughts about the movie

The story is fantasy but the children must watch this movie with an elder because the movie is brutal yet you can get many lessons. The story is well made the plot of the story is new and different form any other movie. The ending of the story is unpredictable because you can think of many other ending for the movie. After the movie you will still think of what will be the next part of the story what happens with Ofelia and her baby brother and for me the strategy of the director is very good because it will persuade people to watch the movie. When you watch the movie it is not only your eyes that’s working but also your mind because your mind are forming many different questions like what will happen next or is Ofelia a real princess. The efects in the movie is commendable because we can see that they use complex make-up and animatronics. For me overall the movie was great and I would love to watch it over and over again.

           

Kulturang Pinoy tiyak na panalo pa din 👍

Pistang Tomasino

Noong bata palang ako ay palagi ko ng ang buwan na sasapit ang piyesta saaming komunidad”. Ako ay sumasali sa mga aktibidad na meron katulad ng mga palaro , pagkain ng mga kakanin  at iba pang mga aktibidad.Simple man ang aming pagdiriwang ngunit Lubos akong natutuwa at masasabi kong ang piyestang ginaganap saaming lugar ay Tiyak na kasabik-sabik may mga palaro, pagkain at kung ano ano pang mga bagay ang mabibili. Ang iba sa mga bagay na ito ay patuloy na sumisikat ngunit ang iba naman ay naluluma o nalalaos na lamang sa pag daan ng panahon. Ang mga bagay na patuloy na sumisikat maski man sa kasalukuyang panahon ay maari nating matawag na“trends” ngunit ang mga bagay na madaling maluma o malaos ay maari naman nating tawaging “fads”. Akala ko hindi ko na ulit mararanasan na makadalo sa isang piyesta ngunit noong Pebrero 12-15 ay naganap ang Pistang Tomasino sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas na pinangungunahan ng Simbahayan Community Development. Ang buong akala ko ay magka pareho lamang ang Pistang Tomasino sa pistang aking naka sanayan. Hindi pala ako nag kakamali saaking akala ang Pistang Tomasino ay hindi nag kakalayo sa pistang aking naka sanayan. Ang celebration ng Pistang Tomasino ay simple ngunit nag hatid ng ngiti sa bawat isa. Ang akala kong simpleng pista ay hindi pala dahil ang mga produktong binebenta ay maaring ordinaryo lamang para sa iba ngunit ito ay parang “charity for a cause”. Hayaan niyo akong ibahagi sa inyo ang aking mga napamili sa “mini bazaar”. 

                                                     Hikaw at Porselas

Ang pag gamit ng hikaw at porselas ay naging isang simbolo at naging malaking parte sa pag kaka kilanlan ng babae sa lalaki. Mula sa mga nababasa kong mga libro Noong unang panahon daw ang hikaw ay naging simbolo ng kanilang katayuan sa buhay may kasabihan sila na kapag mas malaki ang suot mong hikaw ikaw ay mayaman o may dugong maharlika.  Ang hikaw ay isang uri ng alahas na kinakabit kadalasan sa tenga.  Ang hikaw ay maari mong ilagay sa kahit na anong parte ng iyong katawan may mga tao na may hikaw sa kanilang dila meron din namang mga tao na may hikaw sa kanilang ilong ang pag lalagay ng hikaw sa ibang parte ng katawan ay maaring naka base sa kulturang meron sila. Mula sa aking nakitang mga bentang hikaw at porselas sa bazaar, sa unang tingin ay nawalan ako ng interest dahil hindi naman ako nag susuot ng mga ganitong klaseng hikaw o mas kilala sa tawag na “danggling earrings” wala din naman akong hilig mag suot ng mga alahas ngunit ng aking lapitan at titigan ng maigi ang produkto ako ay humanga sa pag kakagawa dahil mukhang mabusisi at matrabaho ito kung gagawin. Ako din ay humanga sa mga gumawa nito dahil makikitaan mo ng kalidad ang kanilang mga produkto. Hindi lamang hikaw ang kanilang binebenta meron din silang bentang mga kwintas, wallet, pouches at madami pang iba. Sa tingin ko ang ganitong produkto ang magiging sikat o trendy sa mga darating na panahon dahil kung babalikan natin ang ating kasaysayan meron na silang gamit na mga alahas at ginamit pa nila itong simbolo sa kung anong katayuan nila sa buhay mula noon pa man hangang sa ngayon ay makikita natin na hindi naluluma ang mga alahas lalong lalo na saating mga kababaihan. Nakakatuwang sabihan na ang mga alahas na ito ay gawa ng mga kapatid nating T’boli. 

Balikutsa

Itong produktong ito ay bago saaking pandinig noong una ay nag dadalawang isip ako kung ano ba siya kung pagkaen ba siya o kung ano. Noong tanungin ko si ate Myrnna( nagtitinda ng Balikutsa) kung ano ang Balikutsa ang sabi niya ay ito daw ay Ilokano candy at galing sa probinsiya ng Ilocos Sur, matamis ang lasa nito at natural na asukal pa ang ginamit dito. Nagtaka ako sa ibig sabihin ni ate sa natural na asukal nakakatawa kung iisipin ngunit ano nga ba itong natural na asukal na tinutukoy kaya dulot ng pag tataka ay napabili ako sa produkto ni ate Myrnna. Pag bukas ko sa lalagyanan ng Balikutsa ay natuwa ako ng lubos sa produkto dahil tama nga ang sinabi ni ate na ito ay matamis ang akala ko nga sa una ay biscuit ito ngunit ng aking kagatin ay para akong kumaen ng asukal ng di gaanong matamis yun bang sakto lang ang lasa na gugustuhin o hahanap hanapin ng iyong panlasa. Lahat ng binebenta ni ate ay organic ang natural na asukal na tinutukoy pala niya ay ang sugarcane kaya mas natural ang lasa nito at hindi nakaka umay kung sabihin. Ang Balikutsa ay madalas pinapartner sa mainit na kape at sa bibingka mas masarap ito dahil kusang natutunaw ang “asukal” sa bibig, hindi na kinakailangan gumamit ng asukal na may “preservatives”. Satingin ko ay papatok ito lalo na saating mga Pinoy dahil karamihan saating mga Pinoy ay masyadong conscious pag dating sa pangangatawan itong produktong ito ay tiyak na tatangkilikin dahil ito ay gawa sa organic na proseso at walang halong mga preservatives mababawasan ang pangamba ng mga tatangkilik sa Balikutsa na baka sila tumaba, baka tumaas ang blood pressure at tiyak madami pang iba. Nakakatuwa isipin na may mga ganito parin palang produkto ang ating bansa dapat nating supprtahan at tangkilikin ang sariling atin. 

Bonsai

   Bonsai isang halaman na maliit at may komplikadong pamamaraan ng pag aalaga upang ma limitahan ang pag laki nito. Nang nag punta kami ng aking mga kaibigan sa “mini bazaar” o ang Pistang Tomasino pumukaw kaagad saaking atensiyon yung mga makukulay na halaman nagandahan ako at namangha dahil meron itong iba’t ibang kulay. Dali dali kong pinuntahan ang lugar kung saan ko ito nakita at mas lalo akong namangha saaking nakita dahil ang akala kong tutuong mga halaman ay hindi pala ngunit ito ay gawa sa mga beads at ito ay hand made kung tawagin merong bonsai na iisang kulay lang meron din namang bonsai na may iba’t ibang kulay. Ito ay lubos na naka mamangha dahil ang mga tao sa likod nitong magagandang bonsai ay ang mga babae mula sa parañaque city jail. Ang produktong ito ay bebenta sa mga mamimili at posibleng sumikat dahil ito ay kakaiba at bago sa ating mga mata.
