MOUNTAIN CLIMBING TRAIL

Last March 08, 2008 we performed the mountain climbing conducted by Prof. Ramon Feraris a P.E 4 professor , our expedition started around 1:00 pm at the Children's Park the assembly area. On the assembly area prof. Feraris group us as different troops and there are mountaineers who guides us during the ascend.

We are already on our trail and we're starting to wonder at the beautiful view before us but then, we noticed that some irresponsible person's had left their trash scattered on the ground before our very eyes.Wouldn't be nicer if we come to a place and find it as fresh as if from the first day of creation, this even if some people were already ahead of us? but we have to learn the value that we need to cultivate within ourselves from the very simple avoidance of an urgue to throw even a small peice of plastic wrapper to control of one's self in cutting trees are learned by disciplining our selves that we have to inculcate within ourselves.

The Mountaineering Federation of the Philippines has a slogan that will be appropriate for us to learn, namely:

Take nothing but Pictures;
Leave nothing but Footprints;
Kill nothing but Time;

Perhaps, if we people copuld learn to follow this call, our world might be a better place to live in. We are already told by our guides that we have to discipline our selves during the trail not to throw anything on the trail and if there is a necessary for them then we have to make sure that is a biodegradable and must be placed inauspiciously on the sides where they may not be trampled upon by the other hikers. We have to make it a habit not to throw away anything at all and it's better to put it in our pocket or pack or have a trash plastic cellophane in our bag where we can keep our trash to be disposed later at the garbage dump or trash can be at home.

It is really a big deal for us not to throw away those plastic wrappers from our candies and cookies that we eat etc, that is actaully an environmental hazardous since they are not biodegradable and might be can cause into pieces yet, it will not decay into the soil and it can not even be used as fertilizers and it tends to suffocate the plants, In addition some fishes caught in the oceans and have been found inside their bellies a pieces of plastic which have not been digested leading to the death of the carier and on land some of these have caused the clogging of our canals and sewage systems. To be able to help our environment we have to discipline our selves in order for us to have a fresh air to breath and fresh food to eat in short to have abundant life.

Mt. Agad-Agad Puga-an Iligan City

Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology Department of Physical Education Conducting Mountain Climbing. The Physical Education 4 Covering the Basic Mountaineering Course. As what mountaineer said there are two activities that are indemand physically naming MOUNTAINEERING and BACKPACKING which include of confronting various elements such as SUN, RAIN and WIND. During our climbing last March 08, 2008 we really experience those elements that I've mention above but stepping out the wilderness requires a lot of planning and preparation to ensure that the mountaineer brings and possesses the skill to use necessary equipment required to support , feed and to protect us from the elements.

We have the four major types of activities namely:

1. Hiking/Trekking-Mountain Climbing

2. Ice/Snow Climbing

3. Rock Climbing - Arificial and Natural Wall

4. Navigation - Space/Marine/Land

As we go along with our climbing I've learn these following principles during the expedition that if we climb the mountain and we're along with our trail never try to underestimate the mountain the trail for your is getting harder and difficult to climb, the second is A mountain is there to change you, not for you to change it. It's really true that mounatin can really change you not for you to change it base on my experience during our overnight staying at Mt. Agad-Agad Puga-an Iligan City I can really says the natural nature change me and my problem that i've carrying it along my climbing the mounatin after overnight staying there , all of those hurdles that I have in me after that everything was vanished like a wind that passing in your face and you just felt it and I am already moving on forwardly to my life. The third is Mountaineers of all levels should undergo physical conditioning preparation I can says that this is already proven base on my experience again during our expedition. You can't never be on the peak that you we're aim to reach if you don't perform the third principle is Going to the peak or summit is not a contest. Yes! it's really true because if you think that is a contest then reaching or going to the summit might cause to all the troops an accident while going there.

Being part of the mountaineers expedition We have the International Dictm " Take nothing but Pictures, Kill nothing but Time, Leave nothing but Footprints". and we have also our motto" We Climd for Fun, Health and a Cause"

" We Climb Mountains because it is there". -- Sir George Mallory

Thus, are the unforgetable experience that I can't never forget til i grow old.

Living the Good Life:Why Values Matter

We first learn our values from parents, teachers, religious and youth leaders as well as other influential adults. We also learn from our peers. Over time we make certain values our own, realizing that our choices and actions have consequences for ourselves and the larger world. The Ten Commandments, emphasizing respect for God, neighbor and self provide a moral touchstone. The world's most universal moral standard - one accepted by every major religion in some form - is the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The sum of the actions of individuals sets the moral tone of society If we are all honest, if we all respect our parents, if we all refrain from harming others in any way, then society will reflect those personal virtues in the quality of its life. I believe life is what you make it and I can honestly say I like my life and happy being the lady I am..... It’s what’s inside that will matter the most.......Honesty, Loyalty, Passion, Kindness and Humor are just a few qualities that make up my inner beauty. I’m very easygoing and adventurous but also very much enjoy quiet times. The great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard. The greatest example of courage, faith, and love in my life was set by my family. The unconditional love they gave to all their friends, neighbors, and family came back to them and to my family in their last days. Because of the example of their great and unconditional faith and love, I have been emptied of cynicism and firmly believe that I have been able to become a more capable vessel for the sharing of that unconditional faith and love for my own friends, family, and community. In my own life, the mysteriously endless cycle of love and the awakening example of truth that everyone is a divine instrument of God was created. In a particularly memorable act of empathy and kindness, a Muslim friend told me that his faith taught him that there is no stronger love on this earth than the love of a precious family. The love for you is the closest thing to God while you live here on the earth. But the love of God is even 70 times stronger. I was more confident, wanted to know everything, and was excited to be in school and good "My experience helped me look at challenging situations differently and instead of giving up, finding a way around them” Last summer I learned a lot about how to control my anger” I learned better sportsmanship and listening skills that helped me bring up my grades in behavior." "I learned how to be on my own without someone with me all the time.”I learned to have more patience and to appreciate the things I have.” I feel that I am better at interacting with friends and family. The people skills learned "Leadership, organization, make my bed, keep my stuff clean, to keep in touch with my friends, respect, how to handle pressure. I learned to listen to what other people say” I learned a lot of team work skills.” I learn how to relate to people on a level deeper than that of school or everyday life because you live together.” I learn a lot about respect and my real values in life, what they really should be” Values like how to be responsible and respectful” You learn mostly how to interact with different kinds of people and are open to different ideas. You learn how to cooperate well with others who share and don't share the same opinions as you.” I learned to have fun, be a leader, discipline, and most of all – respect.” You learn how to make new friends, learn different sports.

Unity in diversity for Global Competitiveness

A conventional wisdom says that a world is wiser than to condemn it. To study the world is better than to shun it. To make the world better, lovelier and happier is the noblest work of man or women. Global Competitiveness is a growing challenge to higher education institution worldwide. It brings with it not only opportunities. Unity in diversity is a theme that holds a lot of people captives of which allow the flow of technologhy, economy . knowledge , people , values and ideas across borders.Globalization competitiveness affects each countryin different ways due to each nation's individuals history, traditions,cultures, resources and prioritoes. It increasses and reflectsgreater interdependency and interconnectedness in the world. No nation will neglect but instead expect to progress and to achieve changes in life that we iam to have.Globalization is inevitable, We are on the collision with global competitiveness at all fronts whether we like it or not . Higher education onstitutions are being affected in various forms and levels. It id a functions of a lot of factors, controllable and uncontrollable.One thisng id sure though, the effect of globalization competitiveness will depend on one's own level of readiness and preparation.
