I love Chemistry and I love my professor everytime she teaches us this subject. Before, it doesn't give me much interest learning the lesson but as time goes by, I have learned that Chemistry is an interesting subject. That is why, I will share to you on the things that makes me love most of Chemistry.

Atomic Number
Atoms are composed of identical protons, neutrons and electrons. How then are atoms of one element different from another element? Element are different because they contain different numbers of protons. The "atomic number" of an electron is the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons. Atomic Number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element.

Mass Number  is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.
Complete Symbol of the element, the mass number and the atomic number.

Isotopes
Dalton was wrong about all elements of the same type being identical. Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. Thus, different mass numbers. These are called isotopes.

Frederick Soddy (187719) proposed the idea of isotopes in 1912. Isotopes are atoms of the same element having different masses, due to varying numbers of neutrons. Soddy won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921 for his work with isotopes and radioactive materials.

Measuring Atomic Mass
Instead of grams, the unit we use is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu). It is defined as 1/12 the mass of carbon 12 atom. Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus we determine the average from percent abundance.

To Calculate the Average Mass
Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by its percent abundance, then add the results. If not told otherwise,  the mass of the isotope is expressed in atomic mass units (amu).

My professor in Philosophy had already discussed some parts of the topic, "Freedom". Here are some that I would also like to share based from what I have taken down notes.

Freedom - exquisite part of human existence.
1. Knowledge is the verdant of human acts.
2. Freedom is the natural gift.
3. Voluntariness is the principle that follows after knowledge and freedom.

One can't exercise full freedom without knowledge and vice versa. Voluntariness can't be unless there is knowledge and freedom.

Knowledge is categorized as:
1. What is invincible - He knows that he doesn't know.
2. What is visible - He knows that he is ignorant.
3. What is crass or pretended ignorance - Projects he is ignorant because he wants to make excuses from liabilities and responsibilities.

Freedom is not possession. It is inherent of man as person. It is a tool to create a moral person. It signifies man's reality of his existence. He is a responsible of what he does. Animals are not free. Freedom distinguishes of a person from the other animals because it is a gift, a priceless gift that comes from our Creator. It can't be stolen. It can't be given away because it is inherent in man's nature.

It is dehumanizing when freedom is taken from you. When the person is wrong, he is not entitled to his own opinion. Freedom is not something to be abused. It is not a license to do wrong, rather it is a license to do better.

Freedom has some restrictions. You should not destroy the freedom of others even though you have the right. The purpose of man is to perfect his existence.

In our school, the use of the drinking fountains are the main source which we, the students find it very nourishing because it quenches all our thirst from the excessive hotness or the state of condition that the call for drinking water is very much important. But here are some of the suggested solutions that we donate in order to get rid of the problem regarding the use of the drinking fountain.

1. Consult the dean about the said problem.
2. Place any notice if the drinking fountain is not functioning well or if it undergoes repair.
3. Always inspect the equipment if there is any damage or leak of its system.
4. Put some signages, letting the students be aware of not making the drinking fountain as their washing area or garbage area.
5. Clean the surface of its area to maintain its cleanliness.
6. Check if it is functioning well - keeping the plug always "on" in order to give fresh cold water for students to drink.
7. Put friendly instruction on how to properly use the drinking fountain.

Cosmocentrism relates to cosmos or the universe which makes as the centerpoint in any philosophical inquiry. In the cosmos, the presence of man and women who in the first place are created by God lives in the so-called universe. In fact, it is by the presence of man that makes them the center of the cosmos. It's existence makes it more clear which drives the universe to be the point of study from everything. Furthermore, in the cosmos, with the presence of man also lies the elements or the presence of fire, water, land and air that emanates its existence. Due toe these things, the cosmos in such a ways is regarded as the main point of study.

This question was being given to us by our professor in our second quiz. And this is my answer:

At first from the beginning of God's creation, He made man on the 7th day, but because God finds man alone and lonely, God thinks that he needs a companion. And thus, God formed Eve, a woman to be his companion in life. In this sense, I can say that man is not an island. He is a social being molded to communicate, interact, socialize and deal with his like.

Man is capable to feel. He has given his free will and rights so that he could fully exercise what he thinks he wants to relate well with. He is endowed with dignity and worth to be able to relate well with others. He is indulged with senses and rational thinking which makes him dominant over all in God's creation. Man is made for all.

I could remember that my first day in school is such an exciting day for me. I am excited to go to school. I even woke up early in the morning so that I could be able to attend the class on time and so I could be able to see my new classmates. It is such an exciting day for me. 

Our teacher is very good and lenient. She is so kind and very approachable. She is understanding and always take things easier for us. When we have our quiz, she will tell us clues when we are finding it hard to identify the problem. Believe me, she is so super, extra kind. 

But as days passed. When we had our class, I suddenly have noticed that she is transforming herself in a strict manner. Then, I thought what made her so?

Observing her, I can conceptualized things which lead me to think that she is in the right track of being so super, extra strict. But don't get me wrong, she is not into corporal punishment. Not like that. 

She is transforming her aura in teaching into a more discipline and command. That, I like the style. 

Teachers as I view it, needs to be strict. For I believe that a teacher who is strict at times, can be respected by the students. 

Teachers need to be strict so that...
1. They can't be underestimate by their students. 
2. They can impose more stiff discipline.
3. They can teach the students what is the proper way.
4. They can direct with great focus to what they want to instill to their students.
5. They don't like to be neglected, but instead, they want to be heard. 
6. They are dignified. 
7. They want alertness and lively classroom atmosphere. 
8. They challenge the students in some ways. 
9. They make every learning experience with purpose and goal to attain to. 
10. They make things in a justified way. 

If I were to ask, I want a strict teacher because I can easily understand and I have seen that he is having that much concern to his students.

"Humba", this is all pork and normally oily. It is very delicious. The meat is so tender. 

I have tasted back again this "Humba" at my friend's house here in the US when we had our party last week. It tastes so yummy. At first when I had a look at this viand, my mouth is like watery and I can't help myself but to take a big bite of it. 
This viand is one of the Filipino's favorite. It is much best to eat when you paired it with rice.

Based on this question, I posted for awhile thinking that I exist with purpose. I do think that my existence of knowing what nature should man poses makes me atone to this search.

To be a man is to be a man for everyone. He calls to care for the family. He works hard to sustain his life and the life of his family. He has the freedom to express how he feels, do hard labor and works. He is entitled to enjoy and exercise his rights and to follow rules and regulations. He is entitled not to harm others, instead he is ruled by laws and policies that he is expected to obey and follow them. He is a leader in some ways. He can bring and inflict influences to the people to go in the right direction. He can be a professional, an ordinary citizen or merely a person who lives a simple life. He is tasked to live in a life according to morals and standards. He is endowed with freedom and choices to decide what is best to do for his lfie.

He is expected to react and to live in a modest life and that if he is a problem to the society, he will have more problems to face. He is not satisfied by mere choice but he seeks to make certain his purpose.

He is ambitious. He never finds satisfaction in all the times. He is always in the quest for everything that sometimes because of power, he becomes greedy.

He is the person whom he wants to become.

I really like this song from my all-time favorite singer, Adele. "Make You Feel My Love" is a song that reminds us of sharing our love to the one we truly love and let him or her feel how much we treasure them in our life.

This song is a sort of an anthem in my every morning. The lyrics and the song are just so perfect. I really love this song. 


When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong


I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

I really have a total bad day today because of my wounded hand. I was able to prepare for breakfast and my plan of making a super delicious meal for my family ended up with just bread and egg. 

I sliced the meat so hard that I didn't know that the sharp knife gets into the skin and it turns out that I feel no pain at first. As water dipped down on the portion of the wounded part, then I started ouching. It was really painful. 

I hurriedly ran to look for the alcohol and find myself do the first aid. It is a horrible experience I had this morning. I was totally in pain. And our breakfast is just the other ordinary day with no spark of delicious food.
