How to Fix Keyboard Errors on ASUS Laptop

I experienced errors on my keyboard several times a few days ago. I could not type "K", "C", "Q" and "." when I was on a deadline to finish my articles for work. After browsing, I found some ways people suggested to solve the problem. They included restarting, Windows Recovery, installing an app called DriverDoc, updating keyboard driver or even using external keyboard. I tried all except the last one, none was fruitful.

Then, after reading that battery can cause such errors, I uninstalled the control method battery of my laptop. Surprisingly, the keyboard came back to normal. The problem is when I shutdown my laptop and then turn it on, the control method will be installed back. Therefore, I need to do the steps again.

For all people with the same problem, the followings are the steps to solve it temporarily: 

1. Open Control Panel 

2. Select Device Manager

3. Click Batteries 

4. Right-click on ACPI-Compliant Control Method

Apa Itu Video ASMR?

Akhir-akhir ini banyak video dengan tagar ASMR bertebaran di berbagai media terutama Instagram dan Youtube. Video tersebut memperlihatkan proses memotong sabun, meremas spons, memotong lipstik atau krayon dengan pisau panas, membuka kemasan bahkan mengunyah makanan.

Mengapa pengguna mengunggah video tersebut? Bukankah kegiatan-kegiatan yang terekam seolah memperlihatkan perilaku destruktif? Mengapa jumlah view video begitu banyak? Pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini sempat terlintas di benak saya hingga akhirnya menemukan jawaban dalam salah satu video artis ASMR, sugar_boogerz, yang kini jadi favorit saya.

Video ASMR(Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) bertujuan memberikan ketenangan pada penonton melalui suara dan visual. Beberapa bahkan memberikan efek mengantuk sehingga dapat membantu mereka yang sulit tidur. 

Semoga  tidak ada lagi netizen yang memberi komentar negatif pada artis ASMR. Tanpa pemahaman konten video memang terlihat tidak berguna dan destruktif. Akan tetapi, sebelum berkomentar kita hendaknya mencari informasi agar tidak menghakimi orang lain tanpa pengetahuan.

Setiap penggemar video ASMR pasti memiliki suara atau visual yang paling disukai karena tiap suara/ visual memiki efek yang berbeda-beda. Saya lebih menyukai suara yang dihasilkan dari kegitan membuka kemasan terutama kemasan plastik yang tertempel ke karton.

Trip to Vigan

On Friday, we went to Vigan. It is an old city retaining building from around 500 years ago as its tourist attraction. It took 7 hours by bus to arrive there. The first place we visited was Don Marino Marcos Memorial State University. The university president welcomed us and gave explanation about the facilities of the university. We stopped at the Sure Ilocos Sur beach and had our late lunch because it’s already 4 PM.

We bought some souvenir in the souvenir market. We also took picture in front of the market which is surrounded by old buildings. In the evening, we sit around a big pool in the city center to watch dancing fountains. It was really beautiful. We arrived in our dorm at 3 AM and we all were exhausted.

Assisting Day #4

I assisted Mam Mae Anne in grade 7 to teach Dewey Decimal System. In the beginning of the lesson, I explained about library card catalogue is. What information they find in it and how it helps them in their visit to library.

Mam Mae Anne continued by explaining Dewey Decimal System and the number under which certain book will be categorized. I then lead an activity to check their understanding. We made 4 groups and played a game. I mentioned a title of the book and the quickest group to answer the right call number and the category gained 100 as their score. The group with the highest score was the winner. The students were excited even thought there was not any prize for the winner.

Assisting Day #3

High school teachers had a meeting today. Ani and I was asked to replace Mam Anne to teach grade 7 and 8. At 8:00 we came to grade 8 Quartz and discuss about the moral lesson of “The Hands of the Blacks”. Then, students categorized list of adjectives based on the function. The same activities were done in grade 8 Granite from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. In grade 7 for both classes, we administered quiz on short and long vowel I. 

After lunch I worked on my lesson plan. I decided to use "Kbo Iwo" as my parallel text in the first lesson plan after I revised the text a little bit. For the second day, I studied the curriculum to find the focus of the lesson. The topic was content and function words. It was actually under Listening Comprehension domain (DepEd English Curriculum for Grade 8). I began to design the activities and find the media.

Assisting Day #2

I worked on my lesson plan for second day in the morning before going to school. I arrived in the school at 10:00 AM and assisted Mam Mae Anne in teaching short vowel I /I/ and long vowel I /i/. I explained minimal pairs to help students understand better. They worked in group to identify whether the words have long or short vowel I in pronunciation.

After lunch, I and other English teachers from Indonesia had meeting related to our lesson plans with faculty mentors and supervisors. There were a few parts that I need to revise. Mam Tuesday suggested that I use Myth from Indonesia as the parallel text to Samal Genesis.

I went back to dorm with Jearica. She helped me to revise my lesson plan. She stayed until 7 PM because there would be no bus to her home after that hour. I cooked my dinner and worked on parallel text once again. It was difficult to find a well written text of Indonesian myth in English.

I went back to dorm after class to finish my lesson plan. At 2 PM I was back at school to hand it in to Mam Mae Anne. She said she would see it and pass it to my faculty mentors, Mam Tuesday De Leon and Mam Marry Anne Buliagay. In the afternoon, I noted students' quiz score on their attendance list.

Trip to Hundred Islands

The first tourism place that I visited in Philippine was
Hundred Island in Alaminos City. It took 4 hours to arrive in the city by bus. We completed a form in the tourism office at the harbor and got in the boat. Mam Sally told us not to buy anything in the harbor because later she would accompany us to souvenir shops.

We got into a boat and after half an hour we stopped in an island called Quezon Island. We had our lunch there. Mam Sally cooked Fried chicken and fermented fish.

We also visited another island. It is called Governor Island. I climbed so many steps of stair to get to the highest place on the island so that all islands of Hundred Islands can be seen.

When we arrived at the harbor, it was already 5 PM. We bought key chains and some souvenirs. In the way back to dorm, we stopped at McDonal to get our dinner and ate on the bus.

Observation Day #3

The first observation today was done in Grade 7-Hydrogen with Mam Mae Ann Paglingayen. We came late to class because Susan printed her lesson plan in the students’ organization room. I asked one of the college students there to write my greeting for students of PPG SM3T V. We were unable to see how Mam Mae Anne began her class. We arrived when she was instructing students to work in group to match definitions with words. After that students drew picture that described the lesson theme, which was “My World, Our World”.

The students brought their coloring pencils as Mam Mae Anne instructed the day before. She gave students ten minutes to finish their picture. When the time was up, she asked students to post their drawing on the black board. Most of the groups drew the earth, but there was one group that intended to draw the flag of Philippines. It was a pity that they did not finish their drawing.

Group 1 was working on their drawing

The result of group work

Mam Mae Anne then asked one representative of each group to describe their pictures especially about how it depicted their life and their world.

The rest of the class time was used to discuss the text the students read before class. It was entitled “ How the World Begins”. The teacher gave some comprehension questions orally. The class was ended after they conclude the moral lesson of the story. 

The Last observation for the week was in Grade 10 with Ms Cherry Joy F. Mejia. The theme of class discussion is Greece and Greek. The teacher presented some pictures and discussed with students what they knew about those pictures. Students have read text related to the theme before class.

Then, Mam Cherry assigned students to work in group. Their task was to complete a chart posted in front of the class.

In the end of the class, the teacher asked students to sit in group planning what Greek culture they were going to perform next week.
