God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Oh my it's CropSci!

"Crop Science...? Oh my... basok2x, tanum2x jud mo ana ai...!"


The very first time I hear the word Crop Science, I think about going to field for plowing, planting and familiarizing yourself in the scientific names of each crops and other agricultural raw materials.

However, it's beyond taht. Crop Science is a systematic  way of studying and applying it in or daily basis of living, especially in Crop Production.


LABORATORY

Every Monday Morning we have a Crop Sci Lab Class at Manresa Farm. We meet once a week only and have a lot of activities to do. I've learned to have hard work in one of our field work and understanding the farmers condition in toiling the land. I was taught by that experience also to be critical in analyzing the seeds using the software that neurologists used. then to be practical in applying the methods or strategies in farming,  we learned as a class. However I should have learned more of the analysis part using the software if I had a laptop to practice on.

Mr. Dennis Apuan, our professor had presented to me the value of the class to our course-Development Communication. Where we will be the said responsible in putting these agricultural analysis in publication or broadcasting, for further help or supplement for the farmers and any agricultural sectors. To be the hand and mouth of the Agriculturists and scientists.


LECTURE

Our ever blooming professor, Mrs. Mary Jean Apuan helps us in discussing the science side in Crop Production. I have learned in class about the basics of Crop Production, classification and it's functions. Yet, I should have learned more if she can make her voice louder and clearer. However, right now I am planning to review my notes and start doing pocket farming. 

The final output of these class was to observe the Salu-Tabu in our Capitol. That day, I appreciate all the things we discussed in a four walled classroom.

They may have lapses, as all of us do, they make me understand now why Development Communication is in the College of Agriculture.
