Pain

This week I experienced a terrible pain inside me, hyper acidity. I experienced it once when I was still younger and now I experienced it again. It was painful but my mother said that if I have followed her orders of not drinking coke, I could have never experienced it. I was very naughty since last week after buying a lot of coke. I'm always tempted to drink it so I ended up having hyper acidity. I cannot move fast and I can't do and eat because of this. It's attacking every once in a while but it is very painful. Good thing I have medicine to counter it for a while only.

My Father, One of a Kind

My father has many traits that others can't understand but if they knew him better, they would understand. One is that he only buys things that we need at the right time and right place. He rarely buys or spend money on unnecessary things. He only buys a few things that we will enjoy when the time is right. He is also serious but he is a very cheerful person inside. In front of other people, he is serious and he rarely talks to people that easily. When we are at our home, that's where my father's cheerful side appears. He is a very hardworking person as well. He likes to do his work rather than wasting time doing nothing. When he is here with us, he spends his time on useful things like ways on improving the house. He spends his time wisely and useful enough for him and to others. My father has some other traits that seems hard to understand but even though, he's still the best father that I love and proud of.

My Birthday

This week was the best week that I had since the start of my third year days. My birthday was on Friday and time went so fast and I actually celebrated it at Bucal. I invited my friends and together we went at Bucal to celebrate. I paid for our fare but it's ok since I invited them and I want them to be there. There were chicken, pancit, shanghai rolls and softdrinks so we ate a lot. On our way back we rode our Everest and when we arrived at school, we had a "Grand entrance" with a big car but sadly no one was looking so we kept it to ourselves and told the others like nothing happened.

By the way on our Research I am thinking for other materials that can be converted to electricity like rice straws.

History of the Papa family

The history of our family came from my long line of ancestors. On my mother side, it started with my great grandparents. My great grandfather Anong and great grandmother Anna married and had a son named Magdaleno who became my grandfather. My great grandfather Bino married my great grandmother Inggay and Carmen, my great grandmother, was born. Magdaleno, tilling and taking care of his fields and Carmen, selling rice to the market, met each other, fell in love and eventually married. They had many children and the youngest was my mother, Vilma.

On my father's side, my great grandfather Casio married my great grandmother Danding and had a son, whose my grandfather now, named Rufo. Great grandmother Pikang married my great grandfather Luis and Adelaida, my grandmother was born. My grandfather, commanding others at the Air Force and my grandmother, teaching elementary and high school students met, got married and had children. One of which is my father, Rammil. My mother, working at clinics as a dentist and my father, working at ships as a Merchant Marine Officer, met and married eventually and had me and my siblings.

Challenges

This week was a test for me, I should say. The first periodic tests for the first grading period is scheduled this week and I'm not that ready yet. We studied some lessons and I haven't studied them thoroughly. Anyway the test came in at Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I did my best to answer the tests but every time I finish a test I thought that I didn't do my 100% so I felt guilty and said to myself that I will fail. On the second day the same thing happened but every time I think that I will fail the more difficult the test become. After all those things was a time to enjoy. I enjoyed half of the day after the tests eating and doing nothing.

After the two tests days was the checking of the tests. Luckily I didn't get a very low grade, not a very high grade either. Some tests results were good for me but the others are not so good.

Abstract

A diverse array of birds apparently make mechanical sounds (called sonations) with their feathers. Few studies have established that these sounds are non-vocal, and the mechanics of how these sounds are produced remains poorly studied. The loud, high-frequency chirp emitted by a male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) during his display dive is a debated example. Production of the sound was originally attributed to the tail, but a more recent study argued that the sound is vocal. Here, we use high-speed video of diving birds, experimental manipulations on wild birds and laboratory experiments on individual feathers to show that the dive sound is made by tail feathers. High-speed video shows that fluttering of the trailing vane of the outermost tail feathers produces the sound. The mechanism is not a whistle, and we propose a flag model to explain the feather's fluttering and accompanying sound. The flag hypothesis predicts that subtle changes in feather shape will tune the frequency of sound produced by feathers. Many kinds of birds are reported to create aerodynamic sounds with their wings or tail, and this model may explain a wide diversity of non-vocal sounds produced by birds.

Arrival

This week started of the arrival of many things. It was the arrival of a new month, July, where my birthday is also to come. This week as well our teachers' announcement astonished us, for the first periodic test will be coming next week. We studied only a few things that I remember and now the first periodic test will be coming. I studied well this week for the P.T and also for my grades. I planned on studying this weekend but there was another thing that arrived, our godmother arrived from England.

The time that our godmother arrived was late already. Her flight arrived at around 9:45 in the evening and I was very sleepy. When she arrived everyone became awake and happy again. We headed to our grandparents' house to celebrate, even late at night. After the celebration, we went home at around 12:00 already. On Sunday we went back to our grandparents' house to continue the celebration. We arrived early and still went home late.
