how plants effect the world.

a while ago, i went to a company i applied last last week, i think. i applied for the position of an article writer in that company. it was in makati, and the exam sched was at 9am in the morning. i was with a friend, Maia. i actually slept early to wake up early, but was really sleepy. i was not even expecting anything after that exam, if ever i pass, or fail, or whatsoever.

so, i got to makati free with my father's stored value MRT card.

i was really amazed because the office was in a condo, where people live, or settle. lol. but nevertheless, there's an office there. in 31st floor. the second to the highest floor. i really got dizzy and deaf after the elevator ride.

we arrived their 1 hour before the sched of our exam, so we kind of waited a little more. the office was already great. there was a kitchen, everybody could make their own coffee too while working, and even listen to music. the office atmosphere was good too.

before the employees fill the office, we already had our exams. there were three: a personality exam, typing speed test, and article writing. i was kinda good on the two former tests (or not. hahaha.). but the article writing part was. really. not tough. but not easy too. but i tell you, what i wrote was really not that deep. it's kinda shallow, for me. it's really a simple topic.

there were 4 topics to choose from. one about overpopulation, then another about religion, and the other is about proactive measures to avoid pollution. what i chose, was, i think, the easiest of the four topics.

it was "how plants effect the world." yes. 'effect'. i actually wanted to ask the facilitator if this was really 'effect' or 'affect'. i didn't ask her, so i just wrote the article.

the article just revolved on how we use plants. like us experiments in school, decoration at home. but, it has also helped us in greater ways, even with just a small single plant. it had help us breathe, since it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen that we breathe. they actually lessen pollution and global warming. plants produce cold air and shades from the sun we enjoy. it also prevents soil erosion. and also, in these developing times, plants have also been are source of medicine, food, shelter, clothes and more. it's like the more we develop, the more we discover how plants would help us.

but. there's one thing that i forgot to say in that article. plants had been giving us humans what we need, what we use. and what we consume. but. after taking and receiving those effects, some people never return the favor of helping plants grow, and developing a greener environment for a better living community. if we don't take care of the plants, they shall wither and die, and will lose the oxygen, soils shall not be kept and will result to landslides and flashfloods. and we will lose our homes, there'll be famine, and the like. so, before it's too late, let us take care of the plants around us. let us not waste our time. and of course, remember these plants' effects to the world.

hanggang sa muli, masugid na mambabasa. :)
