Video game

I like video game, but I do not support that it is good for kids because I have an example of my cousin.
He is ten years old, he spends a lot of time with his video game. He becomes overweight, his eyes are having problem and wearing glasses, sometime he really aggressive. Actually, he is an intelligence boy, but he does not do well in his study because all the time in school with his classmates, he just talks about the video game. His name on the board everyday. His teacher talked to my uncle about this, and my uncle asks him to study hard and try to teach him when he has time.
I was remembered, there was a new video game came out, and he asked my uncle to buy for him, but my uncle refused. You know, what did he said? He said " I will get number one in class if you buy this game for me". My uncle agreed and finally he got number one in class. So my uncle kept his promise. After he got it, his study came back to the same level as before. He did like this so many times so I asked my uncle is it a good idea that all the time we want him to study hard, we need to exchange something that he want? (What do you think in this case? Please give me some ideas).
As I read the article about kid effect from video game more than get advantage I'm really not happy about that I don't know what is going to happen with my cousin's life. He just like my brother.

My Presentation

After my presentation, I felt released. I think everybody had the same feeling as me and I knew all of us kept thinking and precticing even we were eating, walking, wacthing tv, sleeping or dreaming. Am I right?
The first time I started my presentation, I was so nervous because I paid very much attention on my grammar and I forgot what I want to say. I repeated my sentence. So i decided not to concentrate on my grammar anymore and of course I made a lot of grammar mistakes. However, I was so happy that my classmaths did not fall a sleep.
During presenting I sweat, but I remembered classroom was cold.
When I finished my presentation, I was waithing for the question, but no one asking me. I still keep thinking about that. I'm so worry because I think maybe they didn't understand what I were talking that's why they didn't ask or we didn't have enough time?

My research project "The global food crisis"

I finished my research project on time, but I'm not satisfied with it. I have so much to write, but I couldn't make it. My writing is not good.

I chose this topic because I really want to know the reasons why the global food crisis and of course my country is suffering from that so it motivated me to keep going even sometime I really wanted to give up. This topic is related to politic, economy, population, global warming act. As you know, we have to read a lot of books, articles, and magazines. However, my reading skill is not good, as a result every articles I need to read 2 or 3 times to get the ideas, but after i got the ideas I found out that there were very interesting. I felt that I was in those situations, sad, starving, arguing, and the differences problem which are happening in Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, China, and India. After I realized that a lot of people are suffering food crisis.
I had a hard time to finished this project, it was almost too late. I was sick and depressed. However, I put 100% of myself, even it was not so good, I have nothing to do with it anymore I just can know what is my weak point.
Finally, what makes me happy is I know the answer and presented to my classmaths and it made feel much better :> .

POPULATION

Through what I have learnt and have research for my project, population is one of a serious problems in the world. It causes global warming, food crisis, not enough spaces for agriculture, job competition, increasing life in to poverty, act.
If we go back to find out the reasons why do some places have too many people? This problem doesn't cause by people themselves, but also the faith, traditional, culture and lack of education. I saw an article on the website about the Philippines facing overpopulation. Priests at the church tell Filipino, "Children are riches, and the more you have, the more blessed you are.” It’s just one example that causes increasing population.
However, in some places don’t have enough people, which are the number of young generation almost disappear. This problem effects the economy. People who retired have no support or take care.
So it is not easy to decrease or increase population. Government plays an important role in this problem, either educate people, create a new law. In my opinion, education is really important for women, however women who educated don’t want or delay to have children in order to maintain their life styles or careers so it is a complicate problem.

FOOD CRISIS

http://www.linktv.org/video/2527?gclid=CM7Rgq26k5MCFQksswodfH0aAA
I would like everybody see this video.
This video related to my research project "Food Crisis". I don't know why I chose this topic. It's not an easy topic, but it really touch my feeling and I did not regret. I just realize that it's a sad topic. Everytime I read it in the magazines, journals, and books I feel, what I'm thinking about this world and the real situation which is happening is different. I never think that I'm going to die in hunger. How about you guys, have you ever think about this? Maybe not you and me, but alot of pepole out there are starving.

LOVE

Today I learned something really interesting that I have never learnt before. Why is it interesting? Everyone seems to know the definition of love, but they really don't know what exactly is? After social phychologist Judith Castle's explaination, I found out relationship is really important. If we know, understand, and treat it well we going to have a good relationship, good life, and happiness. In some cases that we had bad relationship, we have to accept it so next time we can suvive. Do not stop ourself because of those bad experinces. We will find love from one of those (Friendship, Lover, Family, and Yourself).
After i knew about this, I realized that be myself is the most important. I have to know myself before I start to know someone els. I need to find what I really want and what is my goal.

HAPPINESS ( I love this word)

I looked in to the mirror to day to find out which Faces Scale I look like? :> I think it was not too bad. The second Faces Scale may express how I feel about my whole life. As I showed in my blog that I love to travel and I have been so many places. This dream encourrage me to do alot of things which are related to my future. We need to seek or do something that make us happy in our life, do not wait them to find us.
However, my Faces Scale may come down to the fifth recently because my stomach doesn't give me a break, it's bother me very much :[ . I'd like to tell everyone that health is the most important, it can interup our studies if we sick. We are all far from home, we need to take care ourselves. Am I right?
