We are all guilty of saving old messages from someone who became very special in our lives. Going to familiar places gives us that small twinge in our hearts and smile in our faces. It simply bittersweet, cause every time that person crosses our minds, we remember the instances when we’re completely happy and at the same time the sadness after realizing that IT’S OVER.

Wala pa akong desktop dati, kaya eto lang ang gamit ko noon. Sa projects ko, sa report, minsan sa assignment ko or minsan mga memo na nilalagay ko sa kwarto ko. Wagas ang effort ni Papa ko nung binili niya to para eregalo sakin nung grade 4 ako. Nakakaluha!
Wala lungs, nag bubulatlat kasi ako kanina ng mga gamit ko tapos naisipan ko lang kunan siya. Hanggang ngayon ayos parin siya, kaso wala ng ink.
Ayun, isa to sa mga bagay na kahit luma na may sentimental value parin sakin.

Lemme share to you what I’ve learned from Sociology yesterday.
The Philippine Eagle, Pithecophaga jefferyi, also known as the Great Philippine Eagle or Monkey-eating Eagle, is among the rarest, largest, and most powerful birds in the world. This bird of prey is endemic to forests in the Philippines, where it is the national bird.
The Philippine Eagle was named the national bird of the Philippines in 1995 by President Fidel V. Ramos under Proclamation No. 615. This eagle, because of its size and rarity, is also a highly desired bird for birdwatchers.
But what really amazed me is there reproduction.
The complete breeding cycle of the Philippine Eagle lasts two years. The female matures sexually at five years of age and the male at seven. Like most eagles, the Philippine Eagle is monogamous. Once paired, a couple remains together for the rest of their lives. If one dies, the remaining eagle often searches for a new mate to replace the one lost.
The beginning of courtship is signaled by nest-building and the eagle remaining near its nest. Aerial displays also play a major role in the courtship. These displays include paired soaring over a nesting territory, the male chasing the female in a diagonal dive, and mutual talon presentation, where the male presents his talons to the female’s back and she flips over in mid-air to present her own talons. Advertisement displays coupled with loud calling have also been reported. The willingness of an eagle to breed is displayed by the eagle bringing nesting materials to the bird’s nest. Copulation follows and occurs repeatedly both on the nest and on nearby perches.
Breeding begins between September and February; birds on different islands, most notably Mindanao and Luzon, begin breeding at different ends of this range. Eight to ten days before the egg is ready to be laid, the female is afflicted with a condition known as egg lethargy. In this experience, the female does not eat, drinks lots of water, and holds its wings droopingly. The female typically lays one egg in the late afternoon or at dusk, although occasionally two have been reported. If an egg fails to hatch or the chick dies early, the parents will likely lay another egg the following year. Copulation may last a few days after the egg is laid to enable another egg to be laid should the first one fail. The egg is incubated for 58 to 68 days after being laid. Both sexes participate in the incubation, but the female does the majority of incubating during the day and all of it at night.
Both sexes help feed the newly hatched eaglet. Additionally, the parents have been observed taking turns shielding the eaglet from the sun and rain until it is seven weeks old. The young eaglet fledges after four or five months The earliest an eagle has been observed making a kill is 304 days after hatching. Both parents take care of the eaglet for a total of twenty months.
How I wish people are like eagles too when it comes to bearing a child and having a family. They are faithful and stick to one.
