#7 Definition





  Hero


           The word “hero” is derived from the Greek word “heros” which means “protector or defender”. Broadly speaking, hero refers to a person who faces danger with courage and has the will to sacrifice himself to help his fellow men. Some definitions of a hero is that it is a person with superhuman strength like “Superman” and save us out of danger. 


   Heroes or heroines serves as our inspiration to our lives when we experience something really intense like problems, depression and many more. Their success and even their failures lead us to a positive way of living life to the fullest. They make us feel happy, proud, sad and relief. A hero is not just a man that is well-known in public, possesses heroic qualities etc. but a man that has a good heart who helps

people in a little and simple way, like us. We can be heroes and heroines by ourselves but there are also limitations. In short, a hero doesn't expect something in return from the people, he just expects something that is valuable to him, that is the big smiles and the simple of saying "Thank You" coming from the people that he saved.


A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.














Love



        The word "LOVE" comes from the Greek word: Phileo & Agape. Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. 




         There are many kinds of love like: family love, love of God, passionate love, friendship love, and etc. Love as a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like) is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is sometimes contrasted with friendship, although the word love is often applied to close friendships. Love can hurt us sometimes and it also gives us happiness. Love makes us unite and understand each other and also it helps us to maintain peace in our hearts and also in our community. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection   and makes allowances for human weaknesses.






"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love".

#6 Tourist Spots in Iligan City



 Timoga
 Swimming Pool
    

The definition of a swimming pool is a man-made container filled with water intended for swimming or other water-based recreation. Well, we have swimming pools that serve as one of the tourist spots here in the Philippines.


      Some of the swimming pools here in the Philippines are located at Timoga-Buru-un, Iligan City. The source of water of Timoga Springs comes from Lake Lanao in the only Islamic city in the Philippines--Marawi City, Lanao del Sur—which is 37 kilometers away. Lake Lanao waters come from a volcanic source, the lake being the crater of an extinct volcano. These waters are filtered subterraneally in the Timoga, Buru-un area of Iligan, making it one of the richest source of fresh, high pH, alkaline mineral water.
 

     Timoga swimming pools that’s what Iliganons usually call it, has an icy cool feeling when we swim in the pool. It has clean blue clear water used for the pools and it can also help us feel relaxed in mind, body including our emotions.
