Why Roses have thorns?

Flowers are most women's weakness. When a man tries to win the lady's heart, he used to give her flower. The usual flower to be given to a lady is Rose. There is something in it that makes the women's heart soften. Roses can flatter a lady and can delight ones mood. In other words, they can give a sense of happiness. The first time I picked a rose in my mother's garden when I was a kid, my finger got pierce by its thorn and from that time on, I wondered why a beautiful flower such rose has thorns? I tried to find an answer to my quest but never have I. What I've got is a legend. What about you? Do you have any idea why roses have thorns?

BER Months

BER months are the names of months that end with "ber". There are four of them starting from September, October, November and December. In my country, when the BER months begin, the spirit of Christmas is girding in the atmosphere. All department stores start to display assorted kind of Christmas decors. The markets are becoming busy and so with the streets. You can hear Christmas songs being played. Colorful toys are also displayed to allure the eyes of the shoppers. BER months mark the Christmas season and in this time, people start buying gifts to avoid the so-called rush buying.

Insight about the life of caterpillar

There was a story about a child who saw a pupa struggling inside the cocoon. The child felt pity on it, so she tore the cocoon to help the pupa comes out. When it was done, it could not fly because it was not fully develop. Instead, it died . We know that before a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly, it has to pass through a stage where it is called pupa. In this stage, the caterpillar is being wrapped up by a cocoon. In there, pupa develop its wings. We cannot imagine the struggle of this little creature inside the cocoon but this is how it should be as a preparation when it comes out and explore the world outside. Likewise, man's life is the same. We need to undergo struggles and bitterness in life that would make us a better person.

Killer Mosquito

Mosquitoes are small insects that can fly. They lay eggs in the water and undergo a different stages as they grow. If you just look at their size, they seemed so harmless. But in reality it's quiet the reverse. They can make you sleepless and restless. The worse thing is, they are not just an ordinary blood suckers but a disease carriers. They carry malaria and dengue and people need to be careful with them, otherwise they can be a killer.

Typhoon

Nature has its own ways of destroying people. One of these, is the so called typhoon. Typhoon is characterize by a great wind and a violent storm. This can demolish any structure depends on how strong it is. This may also caused a flood and soil softening that may eventually erode and create a landslide. Live stocks will be ruined and even people's live may be at stake. Typhoon may caused death to anyone anytime it maybe in the water and on land. Typhoon is man's enemy. Though we are trying to prepare ourselves when it is approaching, but the sad reality is that this is a fight against our enemy that we can never win.

The approaching election

Here we are again. The election is coming and those aspiring candidates are becoming busy. Election plays an important part in a society and in a nation as a whole. In my country it is a very big event that sometimes leads us into conflict. Each candidate expresses his or her desire to serve and for this they are campaigning and persuading every voter to vote them. They are trying to get the people's trust to gain their votes. This is the time in which the power to choice a leader is in the hands of individual. How I wish that this election will never become an event of division as it usually happened, but instead, a challenge for humility and unity.

The Campfire

In Friday afternoon, the campers settled their camp right after the Investiture Ceremony. During the night they were having their campfire. Since I never had a chance to witness such event in my life, so, I took the opportunity of seeing it. I visited the camp on that night. It was amazing! Torches entered coming from different directions. They were from the north, from the south, west and east and were meeting at the center to lit and start the campfire. The children had their time enjoying the event. They had a group presentation and a yell. It was such a beautiful and successful event for the campers. Right after the campfire, all of them were headed towards their assigned room to pray before they went to sleep.

Back yard camping

Last Friday and Saturday, the boys and the girls scout had their backyard camping. In the Friday afternoon, they were invested by the scout masters and they settled their camp before it's getting dark. In the evening they have their camp fire before they sleep. On Saturday, they have done different activities. They take turn. In the morning the Star and the Kab Scout Campers did their out door activities. They had games while the Girl and the Boy Scout Campers did their indoor activities like cooking. After the Stars and the Kab Scouts, the Girls and the Boys took over to play games while the smaller campers make a paper bag. The campers were very participative in all the activities.They were all happy and enjoyed.
