Feature Writing Tips

By Aurelio Isaac L. Doctor

.

Always do your best to write simply, so anyone can understand it.

.

Make sure your paragraphs have a clear and logical flow.

.

Research well on the topic and triangulate your sources.

.

Check your grammar.

.

Use words that really paint a picture in the readers’ minds.

.

Read and learn from the works of other authors, like Conrado de Quiros.

.

Keep in mind Senator Miriam Santiago’s words that plagiarism is punishable by death.

.

Be receptive to your professor’s/editor's criticisms and corrections.

.

As cliché as this sounds, have fun writing and you’ll have a much easier time.

Katutubong gulay

Thank you, Bureau of Plant Industry particularly Ms Julie Ann Aragones, for the free seeds and cuttings of himbabao (alokon), katuray, red spinach, saluyot, and amaranth.  I will propagate them in my small frontyard and share them also to local schools in our community since they have an indigenous seed exchange program already in place.

The teacher in me... (Updated)

BS Aquino should retake his Philippine History subject and adopt a critical historiography this time around.  I also find it necessary that he takes at least 9 units of DSS cognates to provide him a critical and nationalist perspective about the political economy of Philippine-US onerous relations.  A rereading of Renato Constantino and series of EDs must accompany this reeducation process.

Suggested final exam essay question: Using historical materialism as frame of analysis, analyze the interference of US in the Philippine political economic affairs from the administrations of Aquino to Aquino, and discuss how the progressive political formation in the country responded to this aggressive interventionism.

New

- New alumni, new freshies, new sophies, new juniors and new seniors #aspirefordesirablechange
- Frequent changing of cell numbers by students end up with this very confusing sample listing in my directory: John2, John Bago, John Globe, John Smart, John Bago, John New, John Newest, John Newest Talaga #maydeaththreatkapokuya?
- Make this summer class your chance to set your priorities right. Improve your life chances by studying well (micro) and contributing to structural change (macro). #biguinangkasawian

Tagubilin

- Sa dami ng nagsipagtapos, dapat maagap sa paghahanap ng trabaho.
- Epektibo lamang ang pag-aaral ng masterado kung may katambal na karanasan.
- Tiyaking may handa kang maikling paliwanang (4-5 pangungusap bawat isa) kung ano ang iyong kurso, practicum at thesis para maging handa sa iyong isasagot sa panayam.
- Para sa mga naghahangad maging mananaliksik, dapat mayroon kang handang portfolio ng iyong mga nakaraang akda at pananaliksik.
- Ayon sa isang propesor sa Agham Pampolitika, kapwa mahalaga ang skill (kasanayan) at will (motibasyon) sa pagtatrabaho.  Ngunit, ayon sa kanya, mas mahirap hubugin ang ikalawa.
- Laganap ang Mcjobs.  Iwasan ito sa lahat ng pagkakataon.
- Masaya ka sa trabaho mo kung hindi mo kinaladkad ang sarili mo pumasok araw-araw.
- Ang perang pinaghirapan ay dapat responsableng pinapamahalaan.
- Job enrichment vs job enlargement = Bulnerable ka kapag hindi mo alam ang kaibahan.

HELLth campus

Dahil sa parang bulang naglaho ang GabCaf, nagtitiyaga ang ilang kakilala ko mga sumusunod mairaos lang ang gutom sa loob ng kampus:

- baong pagkain na naghahalumanis (near spoilage) dahil sa tagal ng biyahe, kulob at init ng panahon

- tetrapak na Ulalam at Hunt's chili con carne

- pagkain sa labas na lantad sa alikabok, usok at iba pang masasamang elemento

- mahal na lutong-ulam ng mga nagsasamantalang komersyante (80 pesos para sa 3 NAPAKALILIIT na piraso ng pusit)

- high sodium, high sugar, high cholesterol fast food products 

- pagliban sa pagkain

Walking the talk

Consistent with the philosophy of food integrity and in support of the local industries, I bought the following food products:
- ginaok (sugarcane extract syrup)
- squash vinegar
- tapuy (rice wine)
- corn coffee
- hibiscus nectar concentrate
- buto ng langka (alternative to castanas)

Counterfeit peso bills

Laganap ang pamemeke ng mga bagong Philippine peso bill. Mag-ingat po.
Reklamo ng isang namamasada kamakailan, hindi niya alam na peke ang isang libong ibinayad sa kanya at ang mas masaklap ay nasuklian pa niya ang kawatan.
