Flood situation

             Evacuation, lack of food, and dangerous animals. Flood is one of the major concern that Thailand, our country, is facing right now. Even though, I'm not getting effected by the flood yet, I feel very sorry for the victims who got in trouble from it. I'd seen people who have to live on the second floor and use boat as their transportation very complicated and difficult. So, I'm a bit freaked out by what's happening to my home country.
            Environment and people around me, feared me about the flood that haven't occur around the area I'm living because the word 'flood' had been stated possibly everywhere from my friends to the social network. Sometimes, one of my friend would be talking about how her family prepared for the upcoming flood. So, I questioned myself, am I ready to handle the condition? The answered that popped up inside my head was a big no because my parents don't believe that our area would be flooded. Which, in my opinion, seems not to be true at all. The news said that my house would be flooded soon, so houses in my village put stacks of sand bags and evacuated from the area. Because my parents didn't believe that our house would be flooding, they didn't really prepare or make a big deal out of it.
               Even though, it's good that my parents didn't stress out in this serious condition, I'm scared that if their believes turn out to be untrue. What will happen? How can I get through this? At last, I told my parents and expressed out how I really feel about the flood and how terrified I am. I told them my feelings about it that a tear dropped down my cheek because I was so afraid and nervous, I never face this much pressure before. So, my parents and I agree that they will watch out about the flood very carefully and buy daily expenses to get ready for it; which we don't know that it will occur or not. After that, it was a relief that at least I'm ready and that the tears are worth it. The flood condition taught me to trust my instincts and feelings because our self knows what's best for us. So, be yourself and stick to what you believe in. I also wish and hope that everyone stay safe and I believe that we can pass through this condition together no matter what.

Color

                The three pictures I chose represent my favorite or the only color I'm obsessed with. The background and the border color I chose is the contrast color of purple. In my opinion, purple is a very elegant and a very unique color because it stands out. No matter what dimension I look into the color 'purple', it's always elegant and I'll always like it. If I was asked if I like the object that contain the color purple, I knew that I'll like that object because it contains purple! I love purple!

Identity

         Identity is the characteristic of how you act and being yourself. In my opinion, identity is something that occurs naturally that no matter how hard you control yourself, it would occur in some point of your life time. It's something that occurs naturally that you don't need to be thinking of. I think that sometimes identity couldn't be control and it occurs naturally just like emotions. No matter how hard you're trying to control your emotions, people around us could see what we're feeling. For instance, when I'm happy and I try to control myself to stop from laughing; I would ending up laughing anyways even though I can control myself from laughing for a few minutes. Or, if I'm sad, I can't pretend to smile because others could see if I'm actually smiling or not. So, identity is something I think we cannot be controlling of because that's what who you are.
         Just a short, simple, and an easy understanding word, the word 'identity' still play an important role in my life. It controls my feelings, gestures, postures, and how I speak and act around people. When I was a little kid, I would be called a shy and a quiet girl because I always be aware of how I act in front of the society. I was so cautious in every step I take and every word I speak that made me confused. I was so confused and nervous at what I spoke, so I chose to speak only when I have to. But now, I understand what's right or wrong; so, I know when to be tactful and when to be playful and make that a habit. In my opinion, a person who just say every single feelings they had without being subtle is not entirely their fault because that's what make them a part of them. It's just like my natural hair color, no matter how many times I colored my hair; my black hair would appear in some period of my life. People shouldn't be ashamed at what makes them, them; they should be proud to be their self and individual. I'm very proud at what I am even though I'm not one of the brightest or the best person in the whole wide world. But, I'm sure that there's only one Bam that could have existed, or a matter of fact, a limited edition.

Who are you?

 

  This video introduces about my identity which is display in a music video with what had influenced me. Family had influenced me the most because they are the people who spend most of my life with. Also, physical trait, school, social and economic factors, geographic location/ nationality, media, and hobbies influenced me. I added many pictures that belongs to me and some are taken from flickr which was credit and I put many songs in the duration of 20 second each to not violate the owner's privacy. 

         

Reflection about metacognition

Metacognition is a thinking about your thoughts, it examines what you're understanding and what you are not understanding while you are having a conversation or thinking aloud. When I'm doing metacognition exercises I really enjoy both type of exercises which are metacognitive conversation and think aloud. A metacognitive conversation is when you are being aware of their mental activity by describing and discussing it with others. Also, thinking aloud is when your discussing thing or say things out aloud of what you're thinking to help you complete the tasks. I really enjoy doing those activities like thinking aloud exercise by making up an animal in 60 seconds from using a clay. Even though, I enjoyed the exercise of thinking aloud, it also faced some difficulty. When I tried to say things out on what I think, it feels very weird because I don't usually say or share my thinking aloud. Metacognition would be useful for me, as a student, because it helps me think deeper to the topic I'm thinking, which makes me understand a lot of many things when I think deeper.
