Bahay Kubo: nose bleed version
Nipa hut
even though it is small,
the plants there have variety:
turnip and eggplant,
winged bean and peanut,
string bean, hyacinth bean,
lima bean, wax gourd, loofa,
white squash and pumpkin
and there are also radish,
mustard, onion, tomato,
garlic and ginger
and all around was filled of sesame seeds.
L.O.V.E.
is not about:
- dates
- monthsaries
- anniversaries
- expensive materials
- elegant bf/gf
It's not either about:
- holding hands
- tight hugging
- torrid kissing
- body touching
It's about how you value and respect someone without expecting things from them in return.
It's about being unselfishly, devoted and committed with that special person until the last beat of your heart !
"The bear and the Two Men"
Two men were walking in a forest...when they saw a bear...
One immediately ran and climbed up a a tree...
The second man pretended to be dead...
The bear came, walked around him and smelled his head...
Then the bear went away...
When the bear was gone, his friend came down the tree and asked:
"What did the bear tell you?"
He said: "Don't trust someone who leaves you in time of need or trouble."

True Colors
by Cyndi Lauper
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

I'm Yours
by Jason Mraz
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

I asked a man about what his lover did that made him so in love.
Eagerly, he replied:
"She hugs me every time we met, asks me if I'm okay, sends me texts saying 'I love you' etc....
Then he asked me too; "How about you?"
I smiled and answered, "My lover went up the cross to be mailed, wore a crown of thorns, and died there for me.
Then he said, "Oh...too bad, you must have missed your lover so much!"
I smiled again, and said,
"No, cause from the moment I knew
"What HE did, HE never left my HEART..."
"What HE did, HE never left my HEART..."
Who is JESUS?
In CHEMISTRY, He turned water into wine.
In BIOLOGY, He was born without a normal conception.
In PHYSICS, He defied gravity by ascending to heaven.
In ECONOMICS, He disproved the law of diminishing return by feeding 5000 with only 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.
In HISTORY, He has no beginning, no ending.
Have a blessed Holy Week!
Great things about friends:
they will give you loan even without interest ...
shares your drink without fear of germs...
they are better at cheering you up than parents do...
just looking at your barkada pictures makes you feel better...

Children Buried Alive In the Amazon
My God in heaven, have mercy on these little frail souls. I was like shouting no in front of the computer while the child was being buried, this is so horrifying and so inhumane, and I can not believe that this is happening (in this day and age).
It’s difficult for me to express how disturbing this story is. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the video.
Those of us who live in contemporary, industrialized society probably often forget that all humanity once lived like this. Perhaps not with these kinds of rituals or practices, but the state of human understanding was once like this everywhere. Morality, law, ethics, all of these things is developments in the intellectual evolution of our species.
Something must be done to stop these KILLINGS. I beg UN and other similar organizations to intervene immediately.
Skimming – will it improve your reading speed?
by Melvin Ng
A cornerstone of the ability to speed read is the ability to skim. However, many argue that skimming is in fact cheating – i.e. you’re not really reading at all! The following is a brief outline argument in favor of why skimming will improve your reading speed (and ability).
Basically, skimming is the most rudimentary form of reading. The object of skim reading is not to necessarily comprehend all that is being read, but rather to familiarize yourself, as quickly as possible, with the text being read. In this regard, skimming materials, by reading the index, subject headings and sub-headings, allows you to prepare yourself so that when the time comes, you can race ahead and speed read at pace – as you are already familiar with the text. Consequently, your overall reading speed will be vastly improved.
In addition, skimming allows your subconscious the chance to absorb the main ideas of a text. These are later cemented by your speed reading of the contents. The combination of these two methods allows you greater comprehension of what you are reading.
Conversely, if you are reading from cold, there is more chance you’ll miss certain points or issues. If you want, think of it as if you are watching a movie for the second time: don’t you always see parts of the movie the second time that you didn’t see the first, which makes the second viewing all the more relaxing and pleasurable?
How to Skim Read
Having ascertained that skimming will increase our reading speed, we now need to know how to skim read. Whilst there are many different methods adopted to skim reading, the following are the essential elements:
* read the index of a text – note that it is essential that you do this so that you get the general ideal of what the text is about;
* read the introduction paragraph of the text;
* read each heading in the text;
* read each subheading in the text;
* read the first paragraph under each heading and subheading of the text;
* (if you have time) read the first and last line of the first and last paragraph of each page;
* (if you have time) read the first and last line of each independent paragraph;
* read the last paragraph of the text – again, this is very important as it is usually in this section that you’ll find all of the main concepts of the text being summarized and concluded.
Moreover, when skimming, try using your peripheral eye vision to identify the main idea of the text, the main dates in the text (especially if the text relates to historical issues), and any illustrations/diagrams/graphs.
Finally, when you are skimming, start at the beginning and read straight through to the end. Do not go back over what you have already read before you have completed the whole text as this will defeat the purpose of your skim reading: in any event, you are going to speed read the text once more after you have completed your skim read!
Remember, skim reading is not intended to replace any reading of the material. Its intention is to familiarize yourself with the text so that you can be fully prepared to review it once again at a later time. In the event that you find yourself with insufficient time to both speed read and skim read a text, you should not confine your reading to a mere skim read as you may find that you miss out on vital pieces of data. Besides this, enjoy your skim reading in the comfort of knowing it will enable you to increase your overall reading speed!
Skim Reading Structured Content
By Melvin Ng
Let's look at each of these "clues" in turn to see how they can help you when you scan read them for information.
Front and back covers
Structured content is information that has organizing elements such as tables of contents, headings, bullets, and other organizing clues in the text. Textbooks, business books and technical manuals usually contain structured content.
Skim reading provides a high-level view of such structured information in two ways. First, with this technique, you can get a preview or overview of new material so you can decide how you want to approach it in terms of reading strategies. (It's also useful in finding key ideas in new material.) Second, it's useful for reviewing material you've already studied. The benefit of skimming is that it helps you with the learning process and also aids in locating important information quickly.
Specifically, skim reading structured content involves searching for the main ideas in an article or text by looking for organizational "clues". In other words, an author organizes his or her material in specific ways that can help you discover the main points quickly and easily. The clues can include the following:
- Front and back cover
- Table of contents
- Major and second level headings.
- All headings in bold and italics and diagrams
- The first and last lines of paragraphs
- Summaries
- Other organizers (numbers, days, dates or times, proper names, etc.)
Front and back covers
Book covers can provide great summaries of the content. By nature, covers are designed to convey maximum information in the least amount of space. By reading these, you can get a quick understanding of the author's main ideas which, in turn, helps you decide if the book does or doesn't meet your goals on a particular subject.
| The Practical Person's Guide to Saving Money
A smart, easy guide to keeping money in your pocket |
By scanning the text on the front cover, you can pick out words that fit the purpose of finding a book that fits your needs-"practical", "guide", "saving", "smart", "easy". The text on the front cover is promising so now you look at the back cover of our imaginary book to get a little more detail on the content.
| The Practical Person's Guide to Saving Money Ready to get serious about getting control of your finances? We'll show what to do in the following areas: § Create an effective budget. § Save money painlessly. § Get control of your credit card debt. § Plan for the future. |
The back cover text shows you that the book will explain how to create an effective budget, help you save money, and get control of credit card debt. So, based on your skimming of the text on the two covers, you can be reasonably sure that the book will give you the answers you need, and it's worth your while to check this book out from the library or buy it from a bookstore.
Table of Contents The Table of Contents gives you the author's organization of his or her subject matter. The table provides a general understanding of what that author feels is important to understand and remember. You can build on that organizational information to "read smart"; that is, concentrate your reading on the areas that will give you the most information in the least amount of time. Below, I've provided you with a partial sample of the Table of Contents for our imaginary book.
As you can see above, the Table of Contents gives you very specific clues as to what's included in each of the chapters. For example, Chapter 1 will show you how to analyze your spending habits, track expenses, and provides sample budgets for you to use in your household. |
3D IM’s Boosts Skills Learned From Experiencing
There is much sense in the Chinese saying that “a thousand hearing are not as effective as one seeing.” Let us realize this fact that the students learn more when they can see it than just listening about it. They can easily recall a lesson with the help of the instructional materials being used by their teachers. And it is even better if the students use three dimensional instructional materials to experience what they are learning for them to develop not only their memory but also their critical thinking.
These teaching aids can be projected or non-projected aids. Projected aids are those aids where a bright light is passed through a transparent picture, and by means of a lens, an enlarged picture is thrown or projected on the screen; like films, filmstrips, slide presentations, opaque projection and OHP. While, the non-projected aids are those which require no projection material or any electric power, like graphic aids, display boards, activity aids and 3-D aids.
3-D aids or three dimensional materials are objects that have height, width and depth, like any object in the real world, such as realia, specimen and objects, models, mock-ups, dioramas and puppets that are very effective teaching aids to guide students’ process of learning acquisition. Three dimensional instructional materials are more effective than any other instructional materials that the teacher uses in to incorporate her lesson.
Realia are real things that represent the actual conditions or direct experiences with which the learner will live. As such, realia should be used whenever possible. Real things those are available. The task is to locate them and put them to use in helping students learn. Examples of realia are: insects, coins, rocks, plants, pets and stamps.
In using realia, students can experience with real things with which one will interact in life is the best learning situation possible. Dealing with realia motivates the learner. The students are familiar with the real materials and their interest can easily be focused. Real objects are plentiful and available everywhere. Real items can be observed and handled, providing concrete learning experiences for the students. Real specimens can be handled and observed thoroughly, they are inexpensive. The students are familiar with the real materials and their interest can easily be focused. Realia can be used as part of the evaluation system. And Realia learning can be extended through the use of displays.
On the other hand, there would be some instances that real things are not always readily available. Affective learning is unpredictable through realia. Realia can be a distraction if left sitting around the classroom. Storage and retrieval can create problems. Realia are not always practical for use in the classroom because they are potential hazards, their size, cost and maintenance. Realia such as live animals, certain electrical and mechanical equipment, etc., can represent potential hazards for the learner and the teacher. A real object may be too large (a submarine) or too small (a single human cell) for classroom study. Real objects often are expensive. Need to maintain original structure, while some realia can be dismantled, many others cannot be, for example, cutting open a person to see how the heart functions.
To make an effective use of a realia as your aid for teaching your subject matter you must be certain that the real object enhances your objectives. Make whatever advanced arrangements that are necessary for proper use of the realia Costs can often be minimized by borrowing real items from members of the community. Keep the realia under wraps until you are ready to use them; after using, remove the potential destructor from sight; students should be encouraged to help in locating and acquiring realia for classroom use. And develop a system of storage and retrieval which will be functional.
Specimen and objects are good substitute for realia. We must admit that direct experiences cannot be made available all the time like exploring the ocean floor or the
Examples of specimens and objects that we usually collect are the different kinds of rocks, shells, fish, butterflies, mineral deposits, etc. We, too, collect objects like furniture, clothes, tools, toys, coins, relics stamps and pieces of literature of all times. Through these objects students will be able to infer, hypothesize, experiment and form conclusions and generalizations on processes and phenomena which maybe impossible if we rely only on direct experiences.
In using specimen and objects for teaching we must know how to develop a purpose for using them. Avoid presenting them as merely an isolated material. They must be linked with the total learning situation so that there is meaning to the concepts derived from them We must provide opportunities to students to work with or to manipulate the specimens so that they can discover concepts, process and principles by themselves. Learning is more impressive if students discover processes and phenomena. We must also present just enough specimens or objects at a time so as not to overwhelm the students. This will avoid confusion too. And remember, presenting too little is just as inappropriate. Effective learning may not take place with inadequate materials. Teachers should present the materials in a dramatic way so as to arouse and sustain the interest of the students. Provide a tint of suspense by not totally exposing the material so that students will become more interested.
In the site Wikipedia, a relic is an object or a personal item of religious significance, carefully preserved with an air of veneration as a tangible memorial. Relics are an important aspect of some forms of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Shamanism, and many other religions. The word relic comes from the Latin reliquiae, meaning "remains." A reliquary is a shrine that houses one or more relics. Relics are things or part that remains from the past and sometimes it is something kept as sacred because it belonged to someone who is really important. Relics, as a learning tool, are used as a kind of example for the students to illustrate the culture and beliefs of our ancestors.
In the site of Wikipedia, a replica is a copy that is relatively indistinguishable from the original. Replicas are often used for historical purposes, such as being placed in a museum. Sometimes the original never existed. Replicas are an exact copy, as of a painting statue, etc. One definition of "replica" has emerged that defines one as a copy of an original object, that can only be made by the original company (or corporate descendant) of the firm that made the original object-any other sort of copy of an original object would be called a "reproduction" instead. Another use of replica comes when it's related to prop (or simply prop): the term prop replica now stands for another way of collecting everything related to movies, including official and fan-made replicas of famous equipment seen in movies.
Exhibits are designed to display visual and written information on topics in an attractive and easily understood manner. They are similar to exhibits found in a museum. People walking by should be attracted to an exhibit's main idea and, therefore, stop to learn more about the topic. To be successful, an exhibit must create an effective balance between visual interest and historical explanation. The most common form of exhibit entry is a three-panel display. This style is the least complicated to design and build and is a very effective way to present information.
In creating and exhibit be sure the title is the main focus of the center panel, use the center panel to present the main ideas, the side panels are best used either to compare issues about the topic or to explain related detail, artifacts or other materials may also be placed on the table between the side panels.
Labels used for the title and main ideas are very important because they direct the viewer's eye around the exhibit. One way to make labels stand out is to have the writing on a light-colored piece of paper with a darker background behind it. This can be done with construction paper, tag board, or mat board. Dark black lettering makes labels easier to read. Photographs and written materials also stand out more if they are placed on backgrounds.
A successful exhibit must be able to explain itself. It is important to design an exhibit so that the photographs, written materials and illustrations are easy to understand.
It is tempting to put as much on the panel boards as possible, but this makes for a cluttered and confusing display. Students should select only the most important items for their exhibit boards. Clarity and organization are the most important goals for an exhibit design.
A three-dimensional exhibit is more complicated to construct but can be an effective presentation style. As in the three-panel display, one side should contain the title and main idea. As viewers move around the exhibit the development of the topic can be explored. It is not necessary for the exhibit itself to be able to spin. It may be set on a table (or on the floor) so that people can walk around it.
Models and mockups are recognizable imitation of the real thing except size, which may be scaled down or scaled up to proved the needed experiences. They make good sense for many training applications. They can save time and reduce hazards while providing hands-on experience. At the very least, they provide another form of learning reinforcement; at the most, they can help you illustrate and explain things that otherwise would be difficult or dangerous. They facilitate study of objects and processes, which cannot be seen in the objects themselves.
Models introduce accurate and authentic realism into the learning situation. A model may be an enlargement, a reduction, or the actual size. They show the totality of a thing or a process. Examples are the model of the atom, molecules and the different systems of the human body. Because models are 3-D, they are close to the real thing.
They also provide motivation and enhance learning. Oversized objects can be reduced in size and can be studied in the classroom. Some models can be purchased from commercial firms. The parts can be built as to scale and appear exactly like the real object.
But it is not easily observable when dealing with large groups. Purchase of models can be costly. If models are built as to scale, it could be time consuming. Some models are may be impractical, or impossible to obtain or build, and problems with storage may occur.
In using models for teaching, we must emphasize the size of the real object while being used. Use moving models can catch attention and interest easily. Teachers should encourage students to construct simple models with parts in corrects proportion. Some models can kept for display for a long time depending on the materials used.
Mockups are three-dimensional working models. They are replicas of an object that may be larger or smaller in scale. They are special types of models which are focused on a specific part of a whole object and these are workable. It is intended to show the essential parts which are made detachable. Example is showing just the joint of the legs and the top of the table or just the engine of the refrigerator, which can be tinkered by the students.
It can be constructed by the teacher since she knows which part should be emphasized. In a mock-up structure of a flower the detachable parts could be the pistil and the stamen. It is a way of focusing observations on the desired part to be studied as well as the functional relationships of the parts. We can make use of them for training or testing in place of a real object that is too costly, too dangerous, or difficult to obtain. But its construction could be time-consuming. Since the sizes are exaggerated, the students might be confused when faced with the real object. And it could be costly.
When teachers use mock-ups, they should involve the students in building the mock-ups. They should guide the students in the construction of a mock-up. Teachers must make sure it truly illustrates the functional relationship of the parts of the real objects. They must also prepare a sketch of the desired scale and location of the parts before building it.
Mockups can also be useful for classes such as berthing a ship where you may not be able to use an actual ship but can improvise using a table as your ship and the bulkhead for your jetty. But it may require accompanying verbal explanations and a great deal of imagination.
We use models and mock-ups when reality is too small, like atoms, molecules, bacteria, or too big, like the universe and the earth. We can use it when reality is inaccessible like past and futuristic events; and when distance is impossible to bridge. We can also use it when reality is too dangerous like viewing an erupting volcano or going to the forest for wild animals and insects. It can be use effectively when reality is unreliable like the weather and the various climatic conditions, and the tides. And also we can use it when reality is too abstract like space relationship, mathematic and other concepts. But before using it we must consider some precautions like the alteration of size, space and time. Misconceptions may arise between the real and the contrived. To prevent misconception, caution the students on the size of the real object in comparison to the mock up.
Specimens, objects, models and mock-ups are materials come in the form of contrived experiences, which are edited version of what is real.
In the Wikipedia, the word diorama can refer either to a nineteenth century mobile theatre device, or, in modern usage, a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model, sometimes enclosed in a glass showcase for a museum. Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling or aircraft modeling.
Diorama is a three dimensional representation of events, ideas or concepts against a scenic background. It is also known as a meaningful exhibit in boxes or cases, which are portable. Dioramas are three-dimensional scenes incorporating miniature objects and backgrounds in perspective. This type of exhibit can cause children to think creatively and aesthetically.
A diorama is used to recreate things from the past or the future, to reduce the size of things, to make model of things too small to examine, to made model of things from faraway places, to explain difficult concepts, to show working parts, to attract interests attention, to promote increased learner participation, to show some selected aspect of the whole in a simple elemental way, and to present an immediate sensation.
The current, popular understanding of the term “diorama” denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment. Miniature dioramas are typically much smaller, and use scale models and landscaping to create historical or fictional scenes.
Modern museum dioramas may be seen in most major natural history museums. Typically, these displays use a tilted plane to represent what would otherwise be a level surface, a painted background of distant objects, and often employ false perspective, carefully modifying the scale of objects placed on the plane to reinforce the illusion through depth perception of viewing a larger space—representations of objects (of identical real-world size) placed further from the observer are smaller than those closer. Often the distant painted background or sky will be painted upon a continuous curved surface so that the viewer is not distracted by corners, seams, or edges. All of these techniques are means of presenting a realistic view of a large scene in a compact space. A photograph or single-eye view of such a diorama can be especially convincing since in this case there is no distraction by the binocular perception of depth.
Miniature dioramas may be used to represent scenes from historic events. Landscapes built around model railways, although they often have to compromise scale accuracy for better operating characteristics, can also be considered dioramas.
Hobbyists also build dioramas of historical or quasi-historical events using a variety of materials, including plastic models of military vehicles, ships or other equipment, along with scale figures and landscaping. In the 19th and beginning 20th century, building dioramas of sailing ships had been a popular handcraft of seamen. Building a diorama instead of a normal model had the advantage, which the model was protected inside the frame and it could easily be stowed below the bunk or behind the sea chest. Nowadays, such antique sailing ship dioramas are valuable collector’s items.
On the other hand, dioramas are limited to some aspects in a way that it is time consuming and it requires extra talent to do it.
In the Wikipedia, puppet is an inanimate object or representational figure animated or manipulated by a puppeteer. It is usually (but by no means always) a depiction of a human character, and is used in puppetry, a play or a presentation that is a very ancient form of theatre. The puppet undergoes a process of transformation through being animated, and is normally manipulated by at least one puppeteer.
There are many different varieties of puppets, and they are made of a wide range of materials, depending on their form and intended use. They can be extremely complex or very simple in their construction. They may even be found objects. As Oscar Wilde wrote, "There are many advantages in puppets. They never argue. They have no crude views about art. They have no private lives". David Currell has said "A puppet is not an actor and a puppet theatre is not human theatre in miniature, because when an actor 'represents', a puppet 'is'".
On the other hand, the aquarium, terrarium, aviary, herbarium, herbary, vivarium, planetarium, solarium and simulation are some other types of contrived experiences.
The aquarium is a representation of plant and animal life in water. Terrarium is a representation of plant and animal life on land. Aviary is a collection of live birds. Herbarium is a collection of dried herbs. Herbary is a collection of live herbs. Vivarium is a representation of plant and animal life putting together those of the same habitat. Planetarium is a representation of planets and their relative sizes and distances from each other. Solarium is a representation of the solar system, the sun, the earth and the moon. Simulation is an imitation of reality, modifying some elements which may prove dangerous or impractical so as to provide the students with the experience whenever necessary.
Before using any three-dimensional instructional materials integrate in our lesson, we must first evaluate these materials. And ask ourselves, as teachers, if the model is necessary on case you make use of the original? Could some other device portray the idea more effectively? Is the idea appropriate for representation in a model? Is each part of the model mad to the same scale proportionate in size? Are the important details of construction correct? Could wrong impressions of size, Color and shape result from using this model? Does the model oversimplify the idea? If it is workable, will at standup under frequent use? If it is made locally, is the model likely to be worth the time, effort and money involved? If it is purchased, will the model be used often enough to justify the cost? But whatever material that the teacher uses to enhance the learning experiences of the learners they must still consider the their needs and must pedagogically sound.

TFF
This is another way on calling your friends ironically:
True
Fake
Friend(s)
TFF is coined by a classmate of mine when I was in taking up my Bachelor's degree.
Apocalypto 2: The Adventure of Captain John Smith
This movie is parallel to the story of Poccahontas.
This movie shows how settler colonialism takes place in an undiscovered nation or area. Indeed there are advantages and disadvantages in a country being colonized.
One of the advantages of colonialism that is present in the movie is the spread of Christian theology that promotes equality and education for all.
And here are some disadvantages that I have noticed while watching the movie:
· Unfamiliar system of government, a complete loss of culture, loss of land, and living conditions drastically change because land gets taken away –maybe it will take place after a long period of time in the story.
· Ownership in general –those European who migrated from their native land inherited the property of their family who joined group who colonized that nation.
· A lack of respect for traditions –at first the colonizers tries to communicate
· Enforced religious views –like what happened to the female protagonist
· Risk of disease –like what happened to the colonizers due to starvation
· Dominant class that comes with the colonial power –it is when some of the families of the colonizers from Europe came along.
· The native people are considered savages and of no worth whatsoever; therefore, lack of respect.
· Native way of life is forcefully changed. –like what happened to the female protagonist, she was forcibly changed to be accepted in the new society where she is in now.

"Kiss From A Rose"
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Now that your rose is in bloom,

Louis Armstrong: What A Wonderful World lyrics
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Beach Boys: Wouldn’t It Be Nice Lyrics
Songwriters: B. WILSON, T. ASHER MIKE LOVE
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice
Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice
Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby
Cadbury Chocolate Theme Song
Lyrics for Part One - The Surfing Surfer
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
You could surf inside a chocolate tube
Ride your board across the wave forever
Get wiped out and never get a bruise
And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say 'I'm chocolate - I invite you'
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Two - Postal madness
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
Chocolate roads and trees and birds and bees
Delivering all kinds of letters daily,
Every kind of purple parcel too.
And if the dog did try and grab a mouthful,
You could bite him back he'd taste delightful!
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Three - Soccer superstar
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
You could be a soccer super star.
The referee would blow his chocolate whistle,
A shot a goal would even break the bar.
And if you scored the winner
You could have the cup for your dinner.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Four (July 2003) - Family holiday
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
Riding in the car would be a tasty treat.
Changing gears would soon become a problem
Cadbury dairy milk is so good to eat
When you arrive at your destination,
You'll be greeted with an exclamation!
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Five (April 2005) - Maze crazy
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
You could play inside a chocolate maze.
Run around and round to reach the middle
What a big surprise for you awaits.
If you couldn't find your way to freedom,
No need to run, just face the walls and eat 'em!
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Six (August 2005) - At the movies
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
Going to the pics would so sweet
There'd be no need for munchies
Cadbury dairy milk is the perfect treat
If someone came and blocked your screen view
Just take a bite and make a hole to see through
Wouldn't it be nice?
Lyrics for Part Seven (???) - Outer space
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
You could eat your way through outerspace
Discovering new life on stars and planets
A triumph for the Cadbury human race
If you're gonna conquer alien ground
Just make sure you've got enough to go round
Wouldn't it be nice?
