NorthStar Flags

Food is indispensable for everyone and a necessity needed by humans and animals alike. As for animals, food is earned by hunting or scavenging while for a human, he needs to cook or order it just so he can eat. As the highest form amongst all of the creations in this world, we humans enjoy the simplicity of life. Most of us don’t need to hunt for food, however I do admit there are some scavengers in our society. But amidst all the human economic conditions, living the urban or rural life is still easier than living in the wild.

Speaking of food, people have varied preferences. Some would go for food that satisfy their discriminating palates while other would go for ones that will just fill their hungry stomachs.

Today, most people prefer pizza and they often go to Pizza Hut. Yes, Pizza Hut! The fast food chain that can be found almost everywhere you go. Whenever we go to shopping malls, we often see a Pizza Hut flag somewhere and next to it is ofcourse the store itself. Sometimes when you’re just strolling around the mall you may find these Pizza Hut flags together an enticing offer to buy one and take one free. Pizza lovers from everywhere patronize Pizza Hut as they produce undeniably delicious and mouth-watering pizza recipes. For the fact that it soothes the palate and fills the stomach, it isn’t hard to give in to the craving to grab a slice with a matching Coke or Pepsi soda to give yourself a delightful snack.

The reason why people choose pizza over other meal is because it’s amazingly delicious and always served hot and fresh out of the pan. Pizza Hut is just one of the many pizza brands from the world over so what if you could taste all the pizza served around the globe coupled with spaghetti and lasagna? Certainly, that would be a fabulous treat for you and the whole family.

Whenever we see men at work danger flags, they clearly tell us that road and highway repairs or construction are being done on a particular area. We know, too, that these developments result to every motorist’s nightmare– traffic jams. This is the reason why cab drivers aren’t always happy when they pass through construction area.

Before the construction, all you can hear from people are complaints and rants. It is ironic that now as work is being done, dissatisfied people still can’t help themselves from complaining too much. It is known that the traffic jams cause people to be irate and irrational especially if they are about to go to a meeting or an interview. Sometimes they seize the cab driver and in return the drivers hate the things causing the congestion like road construction, repair equipment and those helpless danger flags that could someday save their lives on the street.

Bad attitude emanating from people often results into bad moments. It can lead to a fight and causing another person to feel terrible heartaches. Well, in America most of these so called irate attitudes and bad temper often unleash when traffic congestion turns up. The disclosure of violent human instincts often comes out on streets, the congested streets of America. I’ve seen people fight over position to the point that they come out of their cars and start whacking each other with fists.

Sometimes the trouble starts because of loud horns which only add up to noise pollution causing tempers to flare. I guess the answers to this problem are respect, patience and getting ahead of time. Respect for other drivers ahead of you and knowing your place on the streets will really help. Patience and keeping heads cool and not get into the pressure are sure important, too. Lastly, getting ahead of time will keep us from being stuck in traffic jams and give us a little more breathing space if ever we get stuck. Let’s just keep in mind these things to make life on the street a lot more easier.

Every second Sunday of May, the whole world celebrates an occasion for this special person. She is someone who sometimes gives us the worst nag. But oftentimes, she gives us the best care. She is no one else but Mom. Once in a year we celebrate and thank our mothers for their warmth and love.

Some people would give cards and send kisses to their mom though a few just don’t seem to care. For entrepreneurs, this could be a perfect time for business. Flowers are always a favorite at this time of the year. Since the most wouldn’t want to be cheesy, they rather would give flowers and a heartfelt smile then walk away. Next on the list are greeting cards. Custom made cards for moms are a classic especially if they come from kids age 8 to 10.

Lastly, but not the least are Mother’s day seasonal flags. They cost a little but can definitely melt a mother’s heart. Normally we see these flags hung on the malls every time there is an occasion but they don’t mean anything unless they are personalized. Well, to think of it, getting a custom flag that says, “I Love You Mom!” with her name on it would really mean a lot especially if it’s a surprise. Imagine the joy on mom’s face as she feels utmost bliss because of your thoughtfulness.

Undeniably, the simple things can give the greatest joy. If you plan on giving stuff to your mom, even a simple thank you or a heartfelt poem would do. Surely, moms are the best persons in the world and they’re the most flexible ones, too. They can be your best friend, your best ally and most of all, they can be as they are as mothers give you all the care and love in the world.

Don’t we all love stars and popular personas? Some even love politicians to the extent that they would put themselves in front of the limousine just to get that most coveted car flag. Well, you can’t blame these people. What if the limousine was of the United States President Barack Obama? I am pretty sure that out of five American citizens, four of them, if not five would like to get that flag installed on the car.

In some countries that have street festivals, kids and grown-ups alike would strive hard to get the autograph or get a simple souvenir from their so called “idols”. Looking into a much closer example, we will try sports. Normally, superstars of the NBA or NFL would be swarmed by fans and in this commotion, all you see are grown-ups or teens battling for those precious autographs. What we don’t see are kids thriving hard to get the autographs of their idol. Some kids do get hurt, bruised and sometimes stepped on. But to kids themselves, it doesn’t matter at all as long as they get the autograph. Before you know it, they’re out chasing the limousines of those superstars just to get their autograph. Often times, they just settle for car flags visibly installed on car rears.

It is actually funny and troublesome how far people would go for those 15 minutes of fame or for that priceless sign on a poster or a ball. Some almost get hit by cars but they don’t mind as long as they get what they want. True, there are no answers to a human’s hunger for luxury or pleasure. It is just plain bottomless like dark pits. Whether it be signatures that don’t mean a lot or custom flags that would wither through time, let’s not give in to the risks that would give us in exchange for only a moment of pleasure.

When I was in college, the most awaited event after the winter break was the school’s annual Spring Dance festival. The festival will be held for a day one week after the winter break ends. It is such a fun and lively event that even the lord of the nerds is excited for it. The spring dance is obviously all about dancing, it is a day spent for dancing competitions and presentations by various school departments. Be it with duets, quartets or groups, it sure is a time when the stage is filled with the fresh and lively vibe of spring. This annual event is certainly one of the reasons why I think my school is the best.

During my sophomore year, I finally got the nerve to try out for the spring dance group competition, but sadly I was rejected by our department choreographer saying that I was too short. So I directed my attention to other means in which I can help with the event, I applied as a volunteer for the decorations and props committee. Luckily, they could always use one more of a helping hand and they assigned me to the street banners and streamers that should be placed all over the campus activity grounds. It sure was a lot of work hanging those banners, but it all paid off since the result was astounding. The walkway lightpost that leads to the school’s main entrance was ornamented with attractive spring banners and the grounds where the event will be held were made livelier with wonderful pennant streamers. The rest of the decorations also looked good including the stage.

Even though I didn’t get to compete on that event, I still felt proud of myself. I felt that way because even though I was rejected for the competitions, in some other way I was still able to help make the event successful. And that was one of the life lessons I learned during college. If you want to really help, there is no such thing as the only way.

I went to Japan a couple of years ago and it had been an amazing trip. What’s more amazing is that it had been quite social. You see, while a lot of people go there to see Tokyo and the most up-to-date technologies it presents, I went there for an enriching and literary sojourn. I was one of the lucky members of an organization sent to Japan to study the rich and resonant culture of the Japanese.

I landed in Japan at the same time the cherry blossoms were at their loveliest: charming trees with a million little flowers of soft pink called sakura in Japanese – one of the best sights in the world indeed. From Tokyo, I travelled to the countryside where the culture was just like as it was many, many years ago. I lived with a foster family who welcomed me with the warmest of all welcomes.

My first day at the local school dawned and I was nothing but anxious. For how in the world would my classmates and teachers understand me? Or worse, how will I understand them? My okasa prepared a special bento box for me which she lovingly settled inside my rucksack. I bowed and walked my way to school.

It was a bit cloudy that day, but even the clouds couldn’t conceal the magnificence of the place. I was in awe. The school building was relatively small, settled in a slightly elevated terrain. To me it looked amazing. The country’s red-and-white flag danced along with the trees to the chilly wind. Students whose cheeks were as red as the huge dot on the Japanese flag walked past from every direction in their uniforms that were too cute for an alien like me. Little kids were starting the day with games and the teenaged ones with fresh gossip.

It had been hard to understand their modest English speaking skills, but I greatly appreciated them for the effort nonetheless. During my entire stay, I have learned heaps: how to deal with people of another culture, how to respect another nations traditions and everything about Japan Well, almost.

It had been a challenging and testing trip, and yes I didn’t get to take a tour around the country capital, but I sure went home with a smile.
