What is a cell? Well the cell is the basic unit of function which are plants and animals made up. They are also the the smallest metabolically functional unit of life.
Like our human body that has organs, cells have also what we call set of "little organs," called, organelles . They are specialized for carrying out one or more vital functions. There are seventeen different kind of organelles. They are the nucleus, chromosome,nuceoli,microvilli,microfilament,microtubules,digestive vacouoles,rididual body,cilia,mitochonria,pinocytosis,pores,ribosomes,endo plasmic reticulum,chloroplasts, cell membrane and the cell wall. Each of them has also functions.
Here they are:
The nucleus is the cell's hereditary bearing core function within a thin memebrane called the nuclear envelope. The centrosome produces the microtubules of a cell - a key component of the cytoskeleton. It directs the transport through the ER and the Golgi apparatus. The nuceoli makes some important componenets of the ribosomes. While the microvilli promotes increaed absorption. The microfilaments give the cell some muscle and microtubules helps maintain the cell's shape and have role in its motion. The digestive vacoules and the residual body are some of the scavenger organelles, lysosomes. Not only consume foreign matter and dead parts of the cell but, in one normal growth process, eventually recycle the worn -out cell itself. The cilia acts as th liquid medium or means of locomotion of the cell. The motochondria play a critical role in generating energy in the eukaryotic cell, organelles that are modified chloroplasts; they are broadly called plastids, and are often involved in storage. Pinocytosis are the porters of the cell puts the material from the surface to the interior. The pores allow sustances to passto and from the cell's nucleus. While the ribosome (the protein production machine) is a large complex composed of many molecules, in prokaryotes only exist floating freely in the cytosol, whereas in eukaryotes they can be either free or bound to membranes. The endo plasmic reticulum (ER) is the transport network for molecules targeted for certain modifications and specific destinations, as compared to molecules that will float freely in the cytoplasm. While the chloroplasts carries out photosynthesis which provides the cell with food and our atmosphere with oxygen. The cell wall ia a layer surrounding a cell, located external to the cell membrane, that provides the cell with structural support, protection, and a filtering mechanism. Lastly the cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and physically separates the intracellular components from the extracellular environment, there by serving a mechanical function similar to that of skin.

About myselF
I would like to say hi and thank you for all the people who read and visited my blog!
By the way I am Ma. Donna Mae J. Limoran. My classmates and friends call me Donna or Donz but family members or my relatives most of them are my cousins call me Ami or Donna Mae. My parents are Mrs. Imelda J. Limoran and Mr. Donato E. Limoran. My mother worked as a secretary in a clinic at Chong Hua Medical Arts. While my father stays sometimes at home or finds some extra jobs. I am the only child. Some people said that I am so lucky that I am the only child. They said that I can have what ever I want. But that's not all true. I only ask for the things that I need and they would give that to me. Sometimes being the only one child is sad but most of the time I am happy.
On my pre- school years, I studied at Our Lady of Sacred Heart school training center. I really had a lot fun in their where in we sing, dance and play but most of the time we were taught by lessons. When I graduated in kinder two, I graduated as the first honor. In my elementary years I studied at Lahug Elementary School. There were also a lot of my most memorable memories in my Alma matter. I also graduated as the third honor in our class. Now, I am studying in the University of the Philippines. I am now a second year student in section two Benton.
I had also some hobbies like reading books, playing scrabble, drawing and dancing. I love to read thrillers and horror books. One example of these books is goosebumps because this increases my imagination that I use in drawing. I also really love playing scrabble. Scrabble increases my vocabulary. Actually during my elementary years I am one of the players in our scrabble team. We also won all the contests that we have joined. We were always the champion! I also really love to draw. I just love doing this because in here I can express my feelings and all the things that get in my creative mind. Lastly, I really love dancing because this is one of the form of exercise.
There are also many things tat I love and like. I like the color pink because it is so girly. I also love the colors black and white because they are neutrals and I can Match the other colors that I want. I also love collecting stationery's and stickers. I started collecting them was still in grade four until now. I also love cats. I love cats because they are so cute and I like them purr. In house house I am also keeping cats. I also like dogs. I like them because they are so playful.I also have a dog in our house.
These were the things that I want to share to everyone so that all of you would know me better.

TuLo-TulO sa MarSO.....
Well "Tulo-tulo sa Marso" is entitled for three Cebuano dramas by U.P. (University of the Philippines), STC (St. Theresa's Collage) and USC (University of San Carlos). This also a contest by the Central Visayas Studies Center of U.P. Cebu College. The fortunate finalists where the only ones to have the chance to act out their scripts. Fourtunately, University of the Philippines was one of the finalists in the play with USC and STC. This contest has a purpose of bringing back or supporting our Cebuano language. So that people could also appreciate the Cebuano dramas than the English one.
The three dramas were all magnificent. The script was well done. All of the actors and actresses act well and portrayed their role well. Some of the actors and actresses played some funny and serious roles. Some also played as villians.
One play is entitled as "Sulog sa Gugma". This was played by the University of th Philippines. Their director and script writer was Ermine Aledo. Their assistant director and consultant was Prof. Ligaya Rabago Visaya, my recent Filipino teacher.
"Sulog sa Gugma" was about two men finding a girl that would love them. The fist guy was Sul-og. This role was played by Joel Conde Berou. Sul-og was the good simple guy with a simple heart where in he believes in true love. He believes that love will conquer all. The other guy was named Kab-o. This role was played by Christian Rodel Son.Kab-o was the bad guy. He don't believe in love. He just wanted to offer the girl with modern things.But the two guys fell into the same girl.The girl was Cecilia. This role was played by Ma. Sheila Armie Garde. Cecilia is a simple province girl outside but inside she really wants to marry a guy that would bring her to the city. But as she encoutered Sul-og she had fell inlove with the guy even if she don't show this to him. But when Kab-o came she was a bit confused about the two. But when she realized that she loved Sul-og...and Kab-o was the bad guy , she did not waste her time and went to Sul-og. But Kab-o also did not waste his time and ask Sul-og for a fight. But the good guy succeeded.. Cecilia and Kab-o lived happily.
The second play was titled, "Sista". This was played by the St. Theresa's College. This was about a girl named Teresa. This role was played by Roriza Reyes. Teresa is a girl with a big dream. She dreamed about becoming one of the famous singers when she grow up like her idol Pilita Tralala. This role was played by Therese Amodia. So that she could pursue her dreams her mother gave her a guitar (sista) so that it would help her. When she grew up. She succeeded in becoming a famous singer. But she forgot all the people she love in the past. She became very proud of her self. She also also did not want her mother to go near her.But at the end she realizes that she was wrong.
The last play was titled as "TUBA ra'y Makatimbang". This was directed by Haidee Palapar. This play was about all the people in the province killed by the politicians.
Over all these three Cebuano dramas where great!

"A Summary of Max Schulman's "Love Is a Fallacy""
The story started when the narrator introduced hi self. He is cool,logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute in short he is intelligent.
The story started when he went to back to his room, he saw in his roommate named Petey diagnosed with appendicitis. The narrator wanted to approch him......... but Petey said he only needs a raccoon coat. The narrator was a bit of confused why he wanted that stuff. But Petey told him that that coat was the one worn by the big men in their campus now but he does not have money to buy for one .
He discouraged Petey about that coat because it is unsanitary. But when he heard about what Petey is going to give evrything just exchanged for the coat, he had a brilliant idea and he ask about the girl named Polly. If Petey and her were already on steady. He thougfht for a while and then he realized that his father has one of those coats. So he told Petey that he will be going home for the weekend and told him that hi willbring back a surprise and he will make sure that Petey would love it.
On the following day, the narrator broughht the coat with him and gave it to Petey. Petey was overjoyed when he saw the coat. When he asked what would would he want exchnge for the coat, the narrator replied,"your girl". The narrator wanted to date Petey's girl,polly. He love the way Polly carries herself, her manners, and her beauty even though she is a bit dumb. At first Petey wsa having secondthoughts about what his roommate said. But the end he accepted the deal. The raccoon coat exchangefor his girl, Polly.
on the first night of their date he was a bit ofboredabout the girl. But he thought that he would teach and do everything for Polly. On the second to the fourth night, he taught her about fallacies.
but when the fifth night came, the narrator changed the topic nad turned romantic. He told Polly that he loved her so much that she means all the world to him. But Polly answered her about the policies that she had learned.The narrator was a bit of disappointed about that andasked directly if she would go steady with him. and then Polly told him that she had promised Petey that afternoon that they would go steady. The narrator became angry and asked her that what's with Petey that he did not have? Polly simply answered,"a raccoon coat".

What a U.P. StudEnt is NOT..
All of us students in U.P. are also the same as other normal students on other schools. But I know that they look forward to us as more superior than them. They would always think and say that if you are in U.P, you are very intelligent. I think I am not that intelligent. There are also a lot of students who are also intelligent but studies on another school. If someone would ask me what school I am from and when I answers U.P., they would always say that I am very intelligent. I think I am not that intelligent. I don't believe tat there are people who are not intelligent in this world. You just need to be very dedicated to your studies to achieve your dreams.
Some people outside our campus define University if the Philippines' students as nerds. Well....we are absolutely not nerds! We are just dedicated to our studies as I have said earlier. We do this so that we could help our country when we will graduate in collage. It is not useful if they call us "ISKOLARS NG BAYAN" if we are not dedicating ourselves to the people. We would only waste all the taxes paid by all the people of the Philippines.We are also just like the students on the other schools (exactly not all schools) that we want also to have fun always but regarding in our studies we are very serious. We are also just like them who wears clothes that are hip today.
Some also said that we, Upians are very proud of our selves. I think that being one of the Upians is one thing that you can be proud of. If you love and like your school you would also be very proud of it. We are not that kind of persons that always boast all of our works and achievements. I think most of us are still humble. We don't do things like teasing other schools and discriminating them. I think we are not that kind of persons who look ourselves as very superior among the rest of the students on the other schools.
Here are also some thing that University of the Philippines' students are really are ....
In our room , in the second year Benton we have this kind of syndrome... the last minute syndrome where in we work this on the date that it is needed. Sometimes we always say," Ay! unya na lang ..Ugma pa bitaw ang deadline.." in our dialect. But when tomorrow comes that time we would work. Some of us looks like bees, going here and there. Some are reading, answering assignments and making some projects we are all busy then!
Another thing that most of us are lazy in terms of cleaning our classroom. When there are no classroom checking or no visitors would come, we would not clean our classroom. That's why we our teachers always scold us.
Now, these were all the things what a U.P. student is not.

Reaction to Max Schulman's
LOVE IS A FALLACY
At first I was really interested as I read the title "Love is a Fallacy", I really thought that this story contains a serious topic about love and relationship. I also thought that this story somehow is the same as the stories of love that I have read on books, magazines, newspapers or stories of love that I saw on the television where in lovers are taken apart by their parents, the girl or the guy risked his life for her or his love or a tragedy happened where in the guy or the girl dies. But this story is not the same as the others. I think this story is weird and also unique!It is my first time to read this kind of story.
As I read the story at first it was a bit of serious and then when I finished reading....the story was funny! I really love the way the writer ended the story where in the girl, named Polly chooses the guy, named Petey instead of the narrator who's very cool, logical, keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute just because of a raccoon coat? If I where in the girl's situation I would really choose the guy who is intelligent than the other one who is dumb. But it was her decision I guess somehow the girl is right in choosing between the two guys. She chose Petey instead of the narrator.
I really don't like the narrator's traits! The thing I have love about him was only his intelligence. But in that situation he is very stupid! I think because he very "logical" he does not know what love really is. He only wants Polly just because of her beauty, manners and the way the girl carries herself not because he loved the girl. Was that love? That was really not!
Another thing I don't want about the narrator is ....he is very proud of his self, about his intelligence. I think you must be humble if you gifted with that. The other thing was he used his intelligence in evil ways. He know that Petey would do everything for the raccoon coat and dumb as well, so he had a plan just get a raccon coat and have to the girl steady with him. Isn't that rude? He tricks his own roommate? I think it is.
In the case for Petey, I know that he would do everything for the raccoon coat because he really want things which are also used by the Big men in their campus. But it is wrong to exchange your girl for a coat!(grr!) But at the end I was happy about Petey where he ask Polly to be steady with him eventhough he had a deal with the narrator. The deal to help the narrator steady with Polly.I think Petey has love to offer and more deseving for Polly.
In the end I did not expect that Polly would choose Petey than the narrator. It was the narrators fault why he did not got Polly. If he did not taght Polly all those things he would be with Polly.

MY FUTURE PLANS...
After that when I found the man of my dreams, I would also build my own family when I reach in the right age. I want my family in a stable condition. Where in we have our own house to live in. Where in I raise my children in this safe place.I hope that I could raise them well. We could also have our car and we will be having a business to take care of.
Well.. these things are my future plans. These are the things I always dream about everyday in my life.
A CONTEST TO REMEMBER......
I have been a contestant in many contest in our school when I was in elementary. I've been in a inter school competition, in the division level and also in the regional level.There is a contest that I would never forget in my life.
This was when my teacher picked me as the representative in our school to join the journalism contest in the division level. She assigned me in the news writing competition in filipino and editorial cartooning in filipino also. Before the contest we really practiced a lot. I am not the only one who was picked, there was many of us. In our practice she sometimes scold me because all of my format in news writing was wrong and I also did not rearrange the events. But I still did all my best in practicing.
When the contest day came, i felt very nervous. Because there where many other schools that we need to compete to join the regional level. In the contest (in the category of news writing) I did my best in rearranging the events that have been given to us. At first I don't know what to do so ... I just rearrnge all the events and after I've finish I passed it to the teacher in charge. I'm still hoping that all I've done was correct because I am a bit afraid of my teacher.And in the other side in the category of editorial cartooning, I did understand well the topic and draw it on my paper. After the finishing touches I have done, I did also pass it to the in charged person.
The next day all of the participants are requested to go back to the venue for the awarding ceremony. When we entered I felt nervous again. Then my teacher was given a paper where there are lists of the winning participants. My teacher and my classmates were very happy because four of us won! And I'm also very happy because I am one of them! I placed first in news writing and third in editorial cartooning.The next venue of the regional level would be Danao. It would be also my first time in Danao.We even practiced more for the regional level.
When that day came I felt very excited.It would be three days that we will be staying in Danao. When we reached Danao we are staying in a school. In that school we will be sleeping. It was also very nice because all of the contestants have the same bag. In our bags was where our schedules and also the tickets for our food.Our food was catered. It just taste so delicious.
When it is my schedule for a contest I need to get up early and ride on the service jeepney. In the news writing competition it was very hard I just did not know what to do. But when it came to my editorial cartooning I did all my best.
When the closing program came no one of my classmates said that they would win. I also have the same taughts to them. I did not win in the news writing competition but I won fourth place in editorial cartooning. I was every happy at that moment even though the first, second and third placers are going to Surigao for the national level.

REFLECTIONS ON TEACHERS AND TEACHING...
As we all know that teachers are very important. They are our second parents when we are in school. They teaches us so many things. That sometimes I forgot some of it. They also help us in achieving our goals and dreams in life. So we must be very thankful to them. For all the things they have done and given to us.
In our school we have this kind of activity known as the KYSD (know your school day). This is a two-day activity where in students will have the authority to be the faculty members for these days. One student will be the principal,one will also be the assistant of the principal, the other would be the clerk,one would also be the guidance counselor and most of the students will be the teachers. For me when I was young this was just my wild imagination. But know it was true and I became one of the teachers. Isn't that great? After the activity the students that was hired as a faculty member will be given certificate of their participation. Because of these certificate and the experience I applied to be one of the teachers.
I am one of those students who applied to become one of the teachers. I am applying to be a Filipino teacher. When I was hired, my co-teacher and I analyzed our given topics and got ready for our presentation on the next day. When that day came, that was the time when I become afraid to go on top on the flat form and discuss the given topic. When my classmates begun to listen I became more confident to speak up. I've tried to be one of the teachers last year in our KYSD. I just don't know why I acted like that this year. I think it was just about the topic where I need to explain it further and i need also to share some of my experiences about these topics. I just don't really know what experiences to share to my classmates. I am shy when I'm in front of the class but when I'm with my friends i am not.
Now I know more how it is hard and fun being a teacher. You need to let your students to understand what you are all talking about. You must be very confident to tell them some of your experiences in life related to the topic you are discussing so that they can be inspired to tell their experiences too. You must also know how to discipline them. It is fun because you can give them more knowledge they need. It's fun also when you are having games and activities and they are really wanting to participate on these activities related to the topics.
This experience of mine, being a teacher for days will I never ever forget in my life. This would always stay in my mind and in my heart. The mixed feelings i felt when I'm on the flat form and everything that happened.

The Beginning of my Life..
Life is very mysterious in many ways. It is very amazing that from a tiny fertilized cell all of us started. This cell is formed when the egg cell from our mothers and sperms from our fathers join up together. Out of hundreds of sperms that wanted to unite with the egg, only one succeeds. After that fertilization takes place. Then fertilized egg began to change. It started to divide, and then settled to the lining of the womb. After that it slowly divides again and again, and slowly our body and body parts bgan to take shape. After nine months in our mother's body where she has taken care of us we were born.
Today, I have changed a lot.... physically and mentally. I am now a fifteen-year old girl. I am a normal teenager where there are many changes taking place in my body . I am growing quickly and preparing for adulthood. When I was a new born baby, I had a large head and short arms nad legs. Now, I have longer arms and legs and my head is now proportioned to my body. My body now has more formed or had curves. I can also do many things now than when I was still a little girl. I can now run fast , walk, dance, sing , read, write and do many more things. When I was two I was only capable of walking little by little steps and when I run I needed more balance. And when I was five, my muscles were more stronger and I was capable to walk and run. I can also say that I can now do things more easily because I have grown a lot. I can also say that I have also developed my mental abilities because I can now decide on things that I wanted. I can now differentiate from things which are correct or incorrect. I cannot directly say that I am always correct in my decisions all the time. But I have bee
In the future, I know that I will face a lot of changes in myself. I would become an adult or a fully grown girl. And will stop growing in the age of 21. A more mature Donna than ever before. The one that will hold greater responsibilities like having a family and will face bigger challenges in life..But when I reach this age or stage in my life ...I would never ever forget all of my chilhood and teenage days.

WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS COMING SUMMER VACATION..
I have many plans for this coming summer vacation. I wanted have more fun than just staying in our house, watching TV, eating and sleeping. I want to have more adventure. I wanted to go on a vacation to other places, to have a summer job, to go on a summer workshop and to go exercise and play badminton.I really wanted to go on a vacation on places where I never been. I this will happen because my uncle will go back home this coming summer from Thailand and he had a plan that he will be bringing us all to Bohol. I am so excited now that summer vacation is so near. I've never been to Bohol for all of my life. My mother's friend said that Bohol is a nice place because she lives in Bohol and she's just working here in Cebu. She said that you can see the Chocolate hills and tarsiers in Bohol as we all know. Because we don't have any relatives in Bohol, I hope we will be staying in a hotel. This would be so exciting. This would be my first time to stay in a hotel. I am very very excited I hope this would happen this coming vacation.I also want to play badminton as a form of exercise to stay fit this coming vacation in where my cousin is working. He worked in where you need to pay the badminton court you will be using in playing. I hope there would be a vacant court where I could play for free. So that I could have a chance to try playing in a badminton court. If there would be no vacant court, I am just planning to play with my friend in their house.I also wanted to have a summer job to earn money. I wanted to save money to buy things I want and not to ask money to my mother. Most of my earned money would be going to my bank. i wanted to have a summer job not just to earn money but to have an experience in having a job and to have new friends to keep.I also wanted to go on a summer workshop. I've never tried in joining and enrolled in a workshop. I want to experience it place. I want to experience the excitement and fun. i am planning to enroll on an art workshop. I want to learn more skills about drawing and painting because I really love doing these things. And I also want to earn more friends. Last year, I decide to be enrolled in a workshop but I have to pay much to enroll on that workshop. So my mother told me not to enroll. I really wanted to but my saved money was also not enough for that workshop.But now I think my savings is enough so that I could enroll on a summer workshop.Now I am hoping to do all these things this coming summer vacation.
FRIENDS TO KEEP......
Do you have a true friend or friends? Is it easy to find them?
Well for me, I found my true friends. They are the one where can i lean on and listens to me . They are also the one who accepts me for who I am . They even adds joy, subtracts sorrow and griefs and multiply happiness in my life. They are also like poems, you may never fully understand them, but you will always love them. They said a friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. Some said friendship is the only rose without thorns. Some also said that a good friend is as rare as a left-handed person in a world filled with right-handed people. He or she simply stands out! But for me, my friends gives sunshine in my life.Every day I feel complete when we gather around together. We do things we love. We laugh at each others jokes, talk about many things and do many things we want to do together. Sometimes we go together to malls and go window shopping. Even though it's just window shopping we are having enjoying and having fun. They are also the people where I can trust and tell my secrets. as true friends, we also help each other in problems. Whatever problems we face or each of us faces like problems in our family, studies and in love life, we are going to face it together and comfort each other. We will be always beside each other no matter what will happen. We will help each other in many things always. I hope our friendship would become more stronger when days, weeks, months, years and even decades passes by. I will always hold my true friends with both my hands and never let them go. Whenever we are having conflicts in our friendship, I know that each of us are going to find ways to be friends again. We will do everything just to fix back our friendship again.You cannot just let your friends to broke your friendship easily that you treasured for a long time because it is very hard to find true friends today. For every people you meet everyday it is very hard to choose and tell which is the right one or who are the right people? The one or the people that could really accept you for who you are. The people that could put trust in you. It is really very hard because some people now, you thought that they are your true friends but when you are not with them they just back bite you. No matter what happened just keep on finding your true friends. They will just come in the right place and on the right time. For all of my friends... As we grow older, things must change, but they don't always have to end. Even though it is different now, you will always be my friends.

LAST SUMMER VACATION....
I had a lot of fun last summer vacation. I enjoyed in going to some places like Alcoy and Camotes. I enjoyed in going to different beaches in these places. I also enjoyed in taking pictures of the beaches to have some remembrance that i went to these places. But I would like to tell you my experience in Alcoy.
When my family went to Alcoy we have to ride on a bus. I think it takes more or less three hours riding on a bus to reach Alcoy. We are going to this place because my aunt invited us to go to her sisters' house. There will be a fiesta and my cousin will also be crowned as the queen of rose.
We just stayed for a day in Alcoy. At first when we arrived, I took a rest. And then we decided to go one of the beaches in Alcoy. my aunt said that the beach that we will be going has white sand. With my parents and some of my relatives, we just walked in going to the beach.
When we arrived, I was amazed by the beach's beauty. It has fresh air, clear water and white sand. And then we searched for a cottage. Because there was no vacant cottage, we just decided to chose the table under the tree. After we arranged our packed food, we decided to go and start swimming. On my first step on the sand, it just felt so good. And when I soaked in the sea water it felt so cold.
My cousins and I also played on the white sand. We made some sand castles. And then we took pictures on the beach. When e decided to go home my uncle's friend arrived. And he invited us to go to the house where he was the care taker. When we arrived there, I was amazed by the beautiful view I saw. It was just so relaxing. The house was so nice and it had a big swimming pool. When you are outside the house, you will see the ocean.That experience was really unforgettable. When we arrived in the house of my aunt's sister, I went straight to bed and took a rest. After we ate our supper we dressed up and my cousin dressed up in her gown for the coronation night. After the coronation night it had a disco. It was my first time to go in a disco. We danced all night. We went home almost three o'clock in the morning. And the bus that we are going to ride is going to pass on the place we are staying is at four o'clock in the morning.So I slept for only an hour and half. When we rode on the bus I felt so dizzy because I was very sleepy. When we reached into our house, I went directly to bed.
On the next day, I'm still wondering and imagining for the place that I have been. I would never ever forget my experience in Alcoy.
