Idyl’s blog is very interesting and valuable, she writes very responsible and meaningful posts. Idyl has once commented on my blog and mentioned her blog in my comments. So I went to her blog and found that it was very nice and neat. So I started to visit her more often, the more I visit her, the more I like her blog.
 
Idyl has once written about ‘Cyber Bullying’. I have written a comment to her saying that it is very important especially for us bloggers to know how to be a great digital citizen and know what is happening on the internet. We also need to know how to avoid cyber bullies.
 
Idyl has even made a post about who she has commented on. I was quite glad to see that she has commented on one of my classmate’s blog. This shows that she does a lot of research. She is also very creative in making posts for her blog.
 
All in all, I think that Idyl’s blog has a lot of meaning. She is just fourteen years yet she can write terrific blog posts.

Please visit her blog and come back to tell me about what you think in the comment section below.

What do I like about commenting?
I like commenting because it allows me to connect and learn about people who I totally don’t know. We get to know each other better and we also get to have fun with each other. It makes me feel like I am creating a post, but not a usual post, a very special post that is making me connect with someone. I also like commenting because commenting is fun. It is fun because I like writing stories myself. If I write a post, maybe nobody or very less people will read it. But when I comment, surely, someone will read it.
 
What is annoying about commenting?
First of all, I don’t like grammar and spelling errors. Sometimes, I type something up and it comes up as something else. I also don’t like those people who comment on my posts and use improper grammar. Also, I get very annoyed if I don’t understand the comment.
 
How have you found interesting posts to comment on?
I have found some interesting posts in #17stubc Flipbaord magazine to comment on. One of those is Lila’s post. It is about saving those homeless reptiles. Another one that I like is Brynn’s post. She has made a very creative poster about hunger global issues.
 
Are your posts getting lots of quality comments? Why or why not?
Some are and some are not. For the ones that I get a lot of comments, are the ones that are inspiring or creative. For the ones that I haven’t got lots of comments, it shows that I have to improve on it, and may be I didn’t do a very good job on it. One of the best comments I had is from Idyl:
Dear Phakamon,
I really liked your post and how you are explain why WFP explains the reason of hunger worldwide. Both if my parents work for this organization and help feed populations. Hunger is a serious issue most kids don not have food in poor countries and we often waste food without think that others do not even have the opportunity to get some.
I will be using your post for this Week 8 Activity.

Hunger
Jennifer's Post
Hi there Jennifer,
I really found that your post is valuable and interesting. The other day, I thought while eating my food about those who have totally nothing to eat. And you have mentioned those points about the people who have nothing to eat. I think that this post can make the whole world aware of what is happening. I hope that many people will visit this post.
Thanks,
Phakamon
 
Water Water Everywhere, Not a Drop to Drink
Mai Thao's Post
Hello Maithao,
​I think that your poster is super creative. You have managed to cover everything and squeeze it just in one small poster. You have also mentioned the ways of saving water. This shows that small steps of any person can help change and develop the world.You have asked, “How do you save water?” You can save water by using a cup when you brush your teeth. You won’t need to turn the tap on and off to rinse your mouth. I hope you found this point useful.
Thanks,
Phakamon

Are Women’s Right Human Rights?
Kait's Post
Hi there Kait,
I have found your post one of the most interesting so far in the Flipboard Magazine. You have made your poster simple with not that much information but it means a lot to those who have to marry before eighteen. I also like the ending part that adds some more details to what is happening.
Thanks,
Phakamon

      We learned in our Social Studies class that since the time of river valley civilizations we are capable of producing enough food for everyone to receive adequate nutrition. Then why they (wfp.org) say that  nearly 1 billion people suffer from hunger every day?
Is it because of

• wars and conflicts that decrease food supplies
• weather and climate change that leaves a dramatic impact on the production of arable land
• increase in deforestation, desertification, soil erosion, drought, and poor agricultural practices
• or population growth rate that makes it way difficult to match with food production rate

     
      No matter what the reason is, I think we can take smaller steps to bring a big change to stop world hunger by

• being thoughtful and careful when buying food
  
• not over serving family and friends when cooking meals
  
• saving and eating left overs or trying composting, but don't focus on it
• storing food in the right place for it to not stale
• avoiding cluttering food in fridge/freezer
  
• donating food to poor people

​What would your ideal party be?
My ideal party is simply fantastic. First of all, I would like to have a food cocktail. It will not cost a lot of money and also it will be something different. People can eat whatever they want. A few years ago, my friend went to my party and she had to eat one certain meal which she didn’t like. Ever since then, I thought about the food that everybody likes. Another thing I’d like to have in my party is a trampoline. It will be so much fun and we can see each other’s talents. We might see our friends doing acrobats or flips which will be so cool. The last thing I’d like to have is a room where there is one giant sofa and a giant television. It is almost like a theater. It will be very nice, unlike theaters, we can walk around and play if we want.

What traditional games does your family play in parties?
There is one certain game that I really like. It is not traditional but is super fun. I cannot remember the name of it but it is eating jelly with chopsticks and straws. First of all, you get a big bowl of jelly. Then you get to choose either a straw or a pair of chopsticks. After that, you have to eat the jelly in your bowl as fast as you can. Whoever finishes first will win.
​
What is the only thing you would extremely need to organize a party?
I think that the most important thing is food. You can play games with your food and then eat it after. I have never played this game before but I saw it on a TV show, a person has to balance as many cookie sandwiches as possible on his nose, and the amount he can balance will be the amount he can eat. You can also eat in a movie theater. It will be more fun if you eat while watching a movie. When an exciting scene comes, you toss a popcorn into your mouth.
