Puting Anino
PUTING ANINO
jamshuts
Music and Lyrics: Arnold N, Muñez
Pinilit kong limutin ka
Ilibing sa dilim ng gunita
Sinikap kong umiwas na
Sa liwanag ng ‘yong mga mata
Bakit hindi ko magawa
Naghahanap, nawawala, aha hah…
chorus
Habulin ang puting anino
Sa dulo ng pilak na buwan
Sundan saan man lumutang
Hawakan ng ‘sang daan
Dahil ‘di ko kayang mawala
Ang amoy ng aking paglaya
Sa mundo ng puting anino
Nag-aabang, naghihintay
Sa walang dulong paglalakbay
Nakatayo, nakaantabay
Sa pagtawid nitong tulay
Bakit hindi ko magawa
Ang paghakbang ng isang paa, aha hah…
Repeat chorus
‘wag na ‘wag kang lalayo, oho hoo(2X)
Habulin ang puting anino
Sa dulo ng pilak na buwan
Sundan saan man lumutang
Hawakan ng ‘sang daan
Habulin ang puting anino
Sa dulo ng pilak na buwan
Takpan ang bawat pintuan
Ng buwayang malaki ang t’yan
Dahil ‘di ko kayang mawala
Ang amoy ng aking paglaya
Sa mundo ng puting anino…

FIRST AID
FIRST AID
WHAT IS FIRST AID?
Immediate help First aid - the care given before emergency medical help arrives - can literally mean the difference between life and death. But knowing the correct thing to do if someone has a nosebleed or cut is also important.
Saving lives
A blocked airway can kill someone in three to four minutes, but it can take more than eight minutes for an ambulance to arrive. So a simple procedure such as opening someone's airway can save their life while they're waiting for emergency medical help.
The latest government figures, from 2002, estimate 2.7 million people in the UK went to A&E because of an accident in their home.
Of these, 910,000 were aged under 16.
Sadly, almost 4,000 people in England and Wales died because of accidents in or around their home in 2004, according to the Office for National Statistics.
This means you're more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger. Knowing what to do will allow you to react rapidly if an accident does happen.
What not to do
There are many misconceptions surrounding first aid, some of which can cause serious harm.
Top ten first aid misconceptions
You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold water - keep the butter for cooking.
If you can't move a limb, it must be broken/If you can move a limb, it can't be broken. The only accurate way to diagnose a broken limb is to x-ray it.
The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap you wash away the body's clotting agents and make it bleed more.
Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway.
A tourniquet is the best way to treat serious bleeding. It's harmful to stop the blood flow to a limb for more than 10-15 minutes.
If someone has swallowed a poison you should make them sick. If you make someone sick by putting your fingers in their mouth, the vomit may block their airway
If you perform CPR on someone who has a pulse you can damage their heart. The evidence is that it isn't dangerous to do chest compressions on a casualty with a pulse.
You need lots of training to do first aid. You don't - what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid in ten minutes to save someone's life.
You need lots of expensive equipment to do first aid. You don't need any equipment to do first aid, there are lots of ways to improvise anything you need.

BACK TO BASICS by: Blanche Banot
BACK TO BASICS
By; Blanche C. Banot
1st Grading Period: The Quality of Sound and Music
Sound – caused by the vibration of objects. These vibrations move through the air and are transmitted to the ears. Nerve connection carry these impulses to the brain which interprets what objects produces such sound.
2 KINDS OF SOUND:
1. Noise
2. Music
Music – an artful arrangement of sounds across time.
Neums – a sign used in musical notation from the 7th to 14th centuries. It gave an indication of pitch.
Notes – a sound which has a defined pitch and duration.
- a symbol for such sound.
Dot, Tie, Slur, Fermata
The Kodaly Method
2nd Grading Period: Rhythm & Melody (Beat, Meter, Accent, and Time Signature)
Time Signature – a sign placed at the beginning of a piece of music that indicates the number and value of beats in a bar. A time signature usually consists of 2 numbers, one placed above the other.
3rd Grading Period: Harmony & Texture
Texture – the resulting sound from the interplay or non-interplay of tones.
1. Monophonic Music – it is a single musical line without any form of accompaniment. As the prefix “mono” connotes, it means “one sound”.
2. Homophonic Music – melodies that are accompanied by instruments using chords like a guitar or piano.
3. Heterophonic Music – two or more performers singing different variations of a single melody simultaneously, with slight modifications in one part, mainly that of omission or addition some notes.
4. Polyphonic Music – (having many sounds) forms of music that contains 2 or more independent musical lines.
a. Round Song – a short piece, in which a single melody is sung in successive entrances by 2, 3, 4, or more parts.
b. Canon – a counterpoint composition in which one part is imitated and overlapped by one or more other parts.
c. Drone – a pipe that sounds a continuous note of fixed pitch as a permanent bass.
d. Descant – a soprano part, sometimes improvised, sung above a hymn tune while the tune itself is sung by the rest of the congregation or choir.
e. Partner Songs – singing or playing together two songs which are originally composed as independent songs, with the same mode or key.
f. Ostinato – a short phrase or other pattern that is repeated over and over again suring the course of a composition.
4th Grading Period: The Structure of Music
Motive – the smallest unit in music
Phrase – the musical statement that expresses an idea.
1. Antecedent Phrase (Question)
2. Consequent Phrase (Answer)
Musical Form – an orderly arrangement of musical elements in time.
1. Repetition – a repetition of a musical idea. It may be melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, or it may be a combination of these.
2. Contrast – can be achieved by the changes of harmony or in instrumentation of tone colors.
3. Episodes – a contrasting section that separated entries of the principal theme.
4. Variation – the modification or development of a theme.
Determinants in Musical Forms:
1. Strophic Form (AAAAA) – contains only one section which remains the same all throughout the whole composition.
2. Binary Form (AB) – a song or composition with 2 basic parts or ideas.
3. Ternary Form (ABA) – a song or composition with 3 basic parts or ideas.
4. Through-Composed Form ( ABC) – applied to songs in which new music is provided for each stanza, opposite of the Strophic Form, in which every stanza is sung to the same melody.
5. Rondo Form (ABACA) – a song or composition that contains a contrasting section that separates entries of the principal theme called “Episodes”.
6. Variation Form (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5) – the modification or development of a theme.
