What is Arnis? Arnis is also known as kali, escrima, baston. It is the best known and the most systematic fighting art in the Philippines. The origin of the term ‘Kali’ is uncertain, the word ‘Eskrima’ and ‘Arnis’ are of Spanish origin “ Esgrima” which means fencing, and Arnis meaning “armour”.Consequently, practitioners of this style are referred to as Arnisadores, Eskrimadores or Kalistas.

Before I took up arnis, I asked my self about the reason of taking it. Initially it was for self defense, but now it was more a philosophical reason. Arnis is really focused on techniques. So while it can benefit me physically, it’s really about self defense. At this age, 18, I really expect to have many encounters where I need to defend myself. Also the fact that I am studying in Manila, I know I really need to know some techniques for me to protect myself. It is nice to know that I would be able to protect myself and my family if needed with this simple knowledge about arnis. But I guess really the philosophical part comes not directly from knowing how to disarm and subdue an opponent, but from more of the indirect aspects. Arnis forces you to focus so course it will help you to improve your concentration. It will also help you to develop your mental agility. When you have to react to sticks coming at you, your mind has to be able to react quickly. It forces your mind to stay sharp. And about the techniques and patterns of arnis, you will even find that the striking patterns that you learn can be used without the sticks with great effectiveness. The issue with sticks becomes striking power. I will not say that they can not do damage. In skillful hands sticks can be deadly. So can every other weapon.

Let’s talk about my first impression in this course. At first, I take arnis as one of the boring physical education. I honestly don’t like it because I don’t have ideas regarding this unlike others who have this kind of PE during their high school days. All I know is it’s all about self defense. I could still remember that I was not even excited during our first day and I didn’t pay much attention. At first I wasn’t able to cope up with the steps. I can’t imagine that I will be in this kind of PE. But then after, I prove my self very wrong. I was very wrong to judge arnis. After the first practical which I got a 1.75 grade, I’ve tried my very best to excel and end up getting 1.25 to the next practical exams. It was good and I learned to love arnis. Now, I found it interesting of course with the help of our Mr. Laxa. From 1.75 to 1.25, it encourages me to aim for higher grade and I know to my self that I can do it. What I can say today is I really love arnis. I enjoy every 2 hours of our PE class. I’ve already learned single sinawali, double sinawali and reverse sinawali. I like double sinawali and reverse sinawali more than the single sinawali. I don’t know why. Maybe because I got only 1.75 when I performed the single sinawali but atleast I learned and I love learning new things. Double sinawali and reverse sinawali or reverse x sinawali is much more interesting because of the moves and techniques. It’s like more confusing and challenging for me. From these sinawalis I even improved my agility skills. Of course in arnis you need to be fast when you move.

Second, im going to talk about 6 strikes and blocks of solo baston but let me mention my experience first. I was very confused with the strikes and the foot positions at first but after practicing, I came to understand it well. The Areas of the Six(6) strikes are the following: left temple, right temple, left knee, right knee, head then stomach while the blocks are: block to the left side, block to the right side, block to the knee downward, block right downward, block to the head the block to the stomach. The Areas of the twelve (12) strikes of solo baston are: strike to the left temple area of the opponent, strike to the left knee area of the opponent, strike to the right temple area of the opponent, strike to the right knee area of the opponent, strike to the left shoulder area of the opponent, strike to the right shoulder area of the opponent, thrust or poke to the left chest, thrust or poke to the right chest, butt to the left eye, butt to the right eye center thrust then strike to the crown of the head. I love the strikes. They are so challenging and interesting for me. I can say that solo baston is more interesting than the sinawalis and now it became my favorite. What are the advantage of the 6 strikes and blocks of solo baston? Here are the possible answers. For me, solo baston is more convenient the fact that you only need to have one arnis stick than the other techniques like sinawalis plus I think it is easier to learn and understand. Also I think it will benefit my body. The moves and techniques are like the daily excersise. It will also help me to be strong and flexible through this. Aside from those, since from the first place arnis is for self defense, it will benefit me through learning some techniques to save my self from bad people. The techniques are applicable and will be very useful to me since I am studying in Manila. We couldn’t say that we will be always safe so for assurance arnis will help us to be prepared in different circumstances. What about disadvantage? If there are advantages of course there are also disadvantages and here are the possible answers: Since you have to move very fast in this kind of techniques, there will be a chance that you might do the wrong move and end up getting hurt. Since it consists of so many strikes and techniques and it’s like confusing, there would be a chance that your opponent would just punch you or grab your head while you are focusing on the moves. You also have to be familiar with the strikes because if you are not then there is a possible that your opponent would use the chance to hurt you because you are not that knowledgeable with the strikes.

Third, I’m going to talk about the disarming. 1st disarming, 2nd disarming and 3rd disarming which were taught to us last September 2. Honestly, for me, it is a bit confusing and I found it quite hard to understand and apply. The fist disarming is more like grabbing your hand’s opponent, breaking of his body and getting of his stick. The second disarming is more about breaking of you opponent’s hand and the third one which is not familiar to me so I can’t explain that well. What are the advantage of disarming? For me the possible advantage are the following: Learning disarming is the best way to protect ourselves from evil people. From this topic, we will learn the easiest way (although it’s not that really easy for me) to protect our selves from harm. From here we will also learn the best way to do when we are in danger because it is really applicable and helpful and the rest advantages, I don’t know already. All I know is the purpose of this is for our own safety. Let’s now go to disadvantages. Here are the following: The very first disadvantage of this that comes to my mind is it is very confusing at first and some people might not learn it fast. There are many strikes and move and I’m getting confused already. It you grab the wrong part or you do the wrong move, you might end up getting hurt also.

Lastly, my conclusion. All I can say is, Arnis is not that easy as what you are thinking but I’m telling you that it is amazing, challenging and interesting. While I’m learning I can say also that I am enjoying.

...Ever since the beginning of man in Literature there has been a discussion over appearance vs. reality. The appearance of the apple to Eve was one that it would give her great wisdom as to that of the gods. In reality it did give her wisdom, but with that also came the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The appearance of the apple was good but the outcome was bad so was marriage in the 19th century. In Henrik Ibsen’s play "A Doll's House," where a man treats his wife with inferiority and where to him appearance of things is as water is to life, various symbols are used to express a theme. Three symbols used, a Christmas tree, the title, and the nicknames that Torvald calls Nora emphasize the theme of a comparison of perfect marriage relationship to the reality of their relationship that is an artificial " Doll's house" relationship. Ibsen’s use of a Christmas tree is used throughout the play epitomizes Nora's feelings. In the first act there is a festive tree with "pretty red flowers" and Nora comes into the house acting frivolously. Both tree and the Helmers look very happy. Nora's mood is festive and the tree gives a merry glow to the reader. In the end of Act I, Krogstad has threatened Nora that if she doesn't help him keep his job he will tell Torvald of their illegal loan. Torvald has said that Krogstad "has forged someone's name" so Torvald is going to fire him so in Act II, the tree is "stripped of its ornaments and with burnt down candle-ends." In this act the tree is...

...n the United States, women choose to end about 25% of their pregnancies through abortion. (www.gale.com) This number has been gradually declining since 1979. This is similar to the Canadian figure of 21% but is much lower than that of the former Soviet Union (60%) and Romania (78%) where contraceptives are in short supply. (Newsweek Sept. 22, 1997, Pg.18) Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about adultery in The Scarlet Letter, but the "A" word these days is abortion. People often break off friendships, ostracize each other, and are intolerant of others having different opinions on this subject. This is sad, because we can all learn from each other.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is a characteristic of that isotope and is not affected by any change in physical or chemical conditions.

...108 Alipato High School Students’ Reasoning Skills and Their Study Habits and Attitude Towards Learning Maricris B. Acido Introduction A major task of education programs is to come up with guidelines and tools to enable students to learn effectively. This is to ensure that students are able to acquire skills for them to carry out their academic and problem solving tasks. UNESCO acknowledges that: On the eve of a new century, there is an unprecedented demand for and a great diversification in… education, and for building the future, for which the younger generations will need to be equipped with new skills, knowledge, and ideals (UNESCO, 1998). The profusion of knowledge and information has led to an increase in the number of issues that students need to resolve inside and outside the school. Knowledge explosion also demands prudence and careful discernment from students who are to choose more relevant and sound data. This would require the acquisition of reasoning skills that would enable them to filter relevant information from irrelevant ones. Reasoning involves providing arguments, premises, justification, and evidence to claims or positions. However, acquisition of reasoning skills requires much from students. It requires good study habits and positive attitudes, as well as good contextual reinforcers and influences. Many educators have noted that learning is dynamic and that it does not occur in a vacuum. Learning happens due to various factors and influences. ...

...Byronic Hero Romantic poet Lord Byron (George Gordon) is credited with the development of prototypical anti-hero, referred to as the Byronic hero. Like Childe Harold in Byron’s popular Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, the Byronic hero is a larger-than-life, but flawed character who would be considered, by traditional standards, to be a rebel. Typically, the Byronic hero: * Exhibits conflicting emotions and excessive moodiness; * Is passionate about a particular issue; * Can be introspective and critical of himself; * Struggles with his own sense of integrity; * Operates largely within his own set of rules; * Rejects accepted codes and norms of society; * Is fiercely independent and strongly individual; * Is a loner (whether imposed by society or self-imposed); * Displays a respect for rank and privilege; * Has a troubled or mysterious past; * Can be cynical, demanding, and arrogant; * Exhibits self-destructive tendencies and behavior; This hyper-sensitive loner, obsessively following a quest – which, being a Romantic Quest, is doomed to failure – usually ends up dead at the end of his story, either as the unintended consequence of the hero’s own choices and actions, or as a conscious choice. Gatsby’s quest for Daisy, the uncertainty surrounding how he amassed so vast a fortune so quickly, his aloofness around everyone except the Object of his Quest, the fact that it is not enough that Daisy love him but that she must also declare...

...Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2] a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. HIV infects vital cells in the human immune system such as helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells), macrophages, and dendritic cells.[3] HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+ T cells through three main mechanisms: First, direct viral killing of infected cells; second, increased rates of apoptosis in infected cells; and third, killing of infected CD4+ T cells by CD8 cytotoxic lymphocytes that recognize infected cells. When CD4+ T cell numbers decline below a critical level, cell-mediated immunity is lost, and the body becomes progressively more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Classification HIV is a member of the genus Lentivirus,[4] part of the family of Retroviridae.[5] Lentiviruses have many morphologies and biologicalproperties in common. Many species are infected by lentiviruses, which are characteristically responsible for long-duration illnesses with a long incubation period.[6] Lentiviruses are transmitted as single-stranded, positive-sense, enveloped RNA viruses. Upon entry into the target cell, the viral RNA genome is converted (reverse transcribed) into double-stranded DNA by a virally encoded reverse transcriptase that is transported along with the viral genome...
