SEMI PERMEABILITY OF LEARNING LIFE

Plasma membrane known to be as the external boundary, a guard and true

protector of a cell. Besides of these descriptions what fascinates me the most is its very significant function as selective passage of molecules into and out of cell.

            In our life, there are instances that we need to choose and be selective in our decisions for the betterment of ourselves and other people. Like the plasma membrane, it needs to be selective in order to protect itself and let what is good for the cell to enter.

            But the most difficult thing is how if we are given a chance to choose a thing which are both good and which both we love?  

            With this, a wise decision needs to be made and a courage to stand in our decision despite of its possible consequences.

            One best example is what we experienced in our Biology subject in Master’s degree. As payment in suspended classes, we need to have Saturday classes in our respective schools which become a conflict in our class schedule in graduate studies. In that situation we really need to choose, weighing the pros and cons of our decision we have realized that it is really difficult to choose in both things we love, in both things with unselfish objectives and in both things where the students will benefit.

            But as teachers we need to balance between the orders of our superiors versus our professional growth. Like the cell, we need to achieve the state of equilibrium and it is through having a wise decision, being flexible, and having a wide view of understanding to achieve a better life.

            What we became in the future still lies in our decisions. Our Almighty God gave us a heart and a mind for them to work together for us to derive in good decisions. But no matter what it takes let us be reminded that in whatever we do let us do it as to Lord and not to man.

As mysterious as how life originate on earth, as systematic how first cellular structure were formed and as dynamic how changes occur in our environment. Let the mystery goes in our life by having a strong faith in God and by having a systematic and positive view in this ever-changing journey of our life. 

Sleep Morong... SLEEP

SLEEP MORONG….SLEEP

            Life seems to be too difficult without a proper sleep. With our modern life style which demands a lot of stressful work, our body needs to take a rest which work for us 24/7.

            At night, our eyes signal a biological clock located in the brain that darkness is upon us, and the clock directs the pineal gland to produce melatonin. Our metabolism slows. Our body temperature falls. Blisfully, we fall asleep.

            There are times that due to stress, we experienced difficulties to sleep. Some researchers believed that a melatonin supplement-often taken about an hour before bedtime-can launch such nighttime reactions in restless bodies. ¹

However, instead of sleeping, there are some people tend to spark their night life to relieve stressful work. People prefer to have their Saturday Nights through hanging out in unhealthy food trip, alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking.

            This kind of lifestyle leads to a common death among male Morongueños known to be in that town as SLEEP MORONG, this is because the death of an individual happens in the midst of a sleep which is generally termed as “bangungot”. Study shows that one primary cause of this death is due to heart failure in men which can be trace back on their unhealthy lifestyles.

            A nation of well-rested people sounds ideal, but the kind of our life style to relieve stress and to relax might immediately brings us in either a dream of death or in a dream of heaven.

Hence, we should sleep with an open eye in everything we do and we intake in our body. This can only be done through having a proper exercise, healthy food diet and positive predisposition in life thus achieving healthy body and healthy life.
