Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frightening ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it.

Bag It has been garnering awards at film festivals across the nation. What started as a documentary about plastic bags evolved into a wholesale investigation into plastics and their effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our bodies.
After the film Alexa Kielty, a representative from SF Environment, will facilitate a discussion and answer questions about the city's recycling programs.

Rainbow after the storm

Yesterday, the atmosphere with my girlfriend was dull and sad. I can say it as dull because she can't even say a sentence and I am just the only one talking and she don't even reply. I know it was all about her problem, but I said that I can't do anything but to support and comfort her. She might just expressing his madness I think because of the situation and I understand that.

Recently in school I noticed that she is already alright and in good condition. Smiling, happy and having confidence to herself. I know that she can surpass her emotions and yesterday was the time that she will think more positively in her own way. She said that she just wanted to express her feelings (though it was not good because her words hurts me really) and I am the only one she can lean on. I can't do anything about that and if only I know that that is her purpose I can say and do better things for her. But I accepted it and I always understand her as it is part of her personality.

Maybe, she is now recovering herself about that problem and I am very supportive about that. I know God has the purpose for all the good and bad things that is happening around us. And now she is back, I am thanking God for answering my prayers, to help her in her worst and overcome her emotions. At least it will help her though that cannot resolve her problem.

Sometimes we're very down, worst and sad,

But there are hopes and that's all we have,

God has a purpose in everything around us,

Let's just believe in all the miracles He has

There are rainbows after some storms, and the light reveals the beauty of all kind. We should not lose hope for God didn't lose hope on us.

One single mistake, Takes all

Last Monday we had a quiz in our Circuit subject. It was  written quiz with two parts: one is definition and the second part is solving. The first part instructs us to define the following five terms in circuits. It was easy for me because those terms are very known and you can define it in your own terms. The second part of the quiz, which is solving, give some worries though I'm a little confident that I could perfect the exam. I solved the five solving problems without any hesitation though I have the worry that my answers are wrong but almost 95% is sure.

And recently, in our circuit subject we checked that quiz and do some lectures. The checking takes some time but it is normal for us because it is a solving problem and it has a long and complicated solution. The first two solving items was easy and I got it right. When the third problem goes in check, I was shock that I was wrong so I reviewed my solution if I got wrong in my process. For the first check, I can't see any problem with my answer but later on I have noticed one simple mistake that made the whole solution wrong.

It was just the operation that the two terms should be minus but I divided it. And now the checking was done, that's the only mistake I have. I should've divided it so I will get the highest and perfect score in that quiz in our class. But what's done is done, I can't do anything for that.

Simple mistakes if not notice early,

Big problems will appear quickly,

But to accept things will be the best way,

Not that you're weak but strong you say

We must accept things about things we've done wrong. We should forgive ourselves about our own mistakes and accept it as a lesson for us.
