Biodiversity

             
                  When Maám Ramos let us pick about the photos which has a lot of colors and shapes, I don't know what is the basis or how we will choose. She just said, "just pick what was the better one because this is related to our topic''. So I just judge and think what was the better picture for me but I don't have any idea what is all about. Then I just realized that it was about ''BIODIVERSITY''. The picture that has greater color and shapes describes the diversity or differences of each. She added,'' the more shapes and color it is, was better. I'll share some information about biodiversity based from my learnings.

                  BIO means ''life''', while DIVERSITY means ''variety'' or ''differences''. Biodiversity is a variety of life on Earth and the essential interdependence of all living things. There are 3 components of biodiversity:
                           1.) Diversity of genes
                           2.) Diversity of species
                           3.) Variety of ecosystems
                   

                  I realized that God is very clever that everyone is unique, and because of uniqueness we learn how to feel the real world. What if we all have the same physical appearance? How would we know each differences? Of course, how would we enjoy our living if there's only one thing and it's all the same?

''We can no longer see the continued loss of biodiversity as an issue separate from the core concerns of society: to tackle poverty, to improve the health, prosperity and security of present and future generations, and to deal with climate change. Each of those objectives is undermined by current trends in the state of our ecosystems, and each will be greatly strengthened if we finally give biodiversity the priority it deserves.''

                 

Sky Blue :D

Hello everyone!

I’m Micol Joy Orciga Colico.

I will share about my favorite color which is the color of SKY BLUE.

Sky blue is the name of a colour, first recorded in English in the 1728 Cyclopædia of Ephraim Chambers. Prior to the Chambers reference, the colour had first been used in 1585 in a book by Nicolas De Nicolay where he stated "the tulbant of the merchant must be skie coloured".

This color is one of trust, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and quiet, and doesn't like to make a fuss or draw attention. It hates confrontation, and likes to do things in its own way.

From a color psychology perspective, blue is reliable and responsible. This color exhibits an inner security and confidence. You can rely on it to take control and do the right thing in difficult times. It has a need for order and direction in its life, including its living and work spaces.

This is a color that seeks peace and tranquility above everything else, promoting both physical and mental relaxation. It reduces stress, creating a sense of calmness, relaxation and order - we certainly feel a sense of calm if we lie on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky. It slows the metabolism. The paler the blue the more freedom we feel.

In the meaning of colors, blue relates to one-to-one communication, especially communication using the voice - speaking the truth through verbal self-expression - it is the teacher, the public speaker.

The color blue is idealistic, enhancing self-expression and our ability to communicate our needs and wants. It inspires higher ideals.

Blue's wisdom comes from its higher level of intelligence, a spiritual perspective.

Blue is the color of the spirit, devotion and religious study. It enhances contemplation and prayer. On the other hand, blue's devotion can be to any cause or concept it believes in, including devotion to family or work.

Blue is the helper, the rescuer, the friend in need. It's success is defined by the quality and quantity of its relationships. It is a giver, not a taker. It likes to build strong trusting relationships and becomes deeply hurt if that trust is betrayed.

Blue is conservative and predictable, a safe and non-threatening color, and the most universally liked color of all, probably because it is safe and non-threatening. At the same time blue is persistent and determined to succeed in whichever endeavors it pursues.

Change is difficult for blue. It is inflexible and when faced with a new or different idea, it considers it, analyzes it, thinks it over slowly and then tries to make it fit its own acceptable version of reality.

Blue is nostalgic. It is a color that lives in the past, relating everything in the present and the future to experiences in the past.

If blue is your favorite color, it will reflect in your personality! Personality color blue will give you more information on this.
