Insights and Reflections about Tropical Cyclone


  • Today, I learned that a tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain. It is  strengthen when water evaporated from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, resulting in condensation of water vaporcontained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'eastersEuropean windstorms, and polar lows. The characteristic that separates tropical cyclones from other cyclonic systems is that at any height in the atmosphere, the center of a tropical cyclone will be warmer than its surroundings; a phenomenon called "warm core" storm systems.
  • I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in a way that when a tropical cyclone hits our country, I know a little bit information about it and how can it affects us.
  • Learnings about this phenomenon are important because it is a natural phenomenon that hits our country often.
  • On a larger scale, I will share my learning about this phenomena to help other people be more aware on different circumstances that happen in our environment.
  • I need to know more about how can we not be much affected when this phenomena is happening.

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.  ~Francis Bacon

             Another week has passed! This weekend, we went to Tagaytay to have a family bonding. But I did not forgot to help in protecting the environment. These are the things I've done this week to help protect Mother Nature:

  • Turning off the television,the computer and other appliances when not in use.
  • Using water wisely.
  • Not using much plastics & plastic bags.
  • Using a glass of water when brushing my teeth.
  • Throwing my trash/ garbages in trash cans.

         Let's save our environment for the next generation! Together, we can make a difference.

Low Carbon Diet Journal -- August 13-18, 2012


"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
Gaylord Nelson
              This week, we experienced a very unpredictable weather. That's why my mother is always saying to bring my umbrella always. These past few weeks, many parts of the country experienced floods and landslides. I'm so sad for them but we can't blame Mother Nature. Because we are the victims of our own crimes. Disposing garbage anywhere, wasting energy, and many human activities are the reason for it.
             This week, I help my mother clean our house, unplugged appliances when not in use, disposing my garbage in trash cans, and taking a bath with pale and dipper.
               Simple things, but I'm sure it can be a great help to help our Mother Earth.

Low Carbon Diet Journal -- August 6-12, 2012

Look deep into nature, 
and then you will understand everything better. 
~ Albert Einstein ~


        For me, it's my relax week! :) I can recover to my restless days last week. This week, since we have no classes, I decided to help my mother in household chores. Sweeping the floor, wiping the furnitures, washing the dishes, making the bed, and watering the plants. And to save electricity, I often use the computer. And when watching TV, we watch together at night and not use the other television. This week, my hobby is to walk in our barrio. It's refreshing and also good to my health.

If one way be better than another, 
that you may be sure is Nature's way. 
~ Aristotle - Nichomachean Ethics ~



        Yipee! \(^o^)/ Busy days and restless nights are gone. *Sigh* But did I help Mother Nature this week? Of course yes! I'll not let a day end without helping protecting our Mother Nature. I'm loving it. :D These are the things I've done this week:

  • I did not use my cellular phone always since it's our exam week. And also to avoid it from charging more often.
  • I'm using my paper wisely.
  • I turn off the TV when I'm reviewing.
  • I did my assignments outside our house. It will help saving the energy.
     Simple things, right? But I know even in my simplest way, I can help protecting Mother Nature!
