Christmas Abundance

                Most of the people often fail to realize what the month of December ought to bring us. Attributes to the uncertainty of people to what the breezy and cold air of December could be a lot of things but the message it relays is quite simple.

                Christmas holiday is composed of different decorations and it really is. We are accustomed this way of celebrating Christmas. Tangible things that symbolizes Christmas are Christmas tree, presents, Christmas lanterns, Christmas lights and Christmas bites. We put up our beautiful Christmas trees, we give gifts to our loved ones, Christmas lanterns we hang beneath, Christmas lights that flickers the entire night and Christmas bites we savor.

                We dissect “Christmas” and what we get is “Christ” and “mas” which means birth of Christ. Yes, Christmas is the celebration for the new-born king. We put up our decorations for this most joyous month of the year. However, have you ever wondered why December is a zephyr time? It’s time to live out the true essence of Christmas. The breezy and cold air brings us the chilling and trembling feelings. A hug, which is the medicine, keeps us warm. Telling us how important our loved ones are to our lives.

                So it’s not just about materials that make up Christmas. The aura of sharing and giving, forgiving, benignity to everybody,and giving jubilation and love are the most important. Of what I've stated above, hug is an example of the foundation of living out the true essence of Christmas. Which means behind this holiday is love, peace and joy. Christmas should be abounding in these.

Let Us Change

Climate changes and that really happens. As, annually, climate changes on time. Climate change is perfectly seasonal, BEFORE.

       Climate change is the weather condition we happen to experience as usual. Either this will give good or bad effects. This must be a cycle but it must have been caused by global warming. Global warming is made when people burn trees and plastics causing the atmosphere trap the heat because of carbon dioxide.

Now we're experiencing different phenomena like floods, super typhoons, global warming and others. Floods occur because there are no more enough trees to absorb the water. Super typhoons occur because the climate over-changed. Global warming occurs because there are no more trees to absorb the carbon dioxide which traps the heat in the atmosphere preventing it to get out to space.

Climate change is normal but particularly for now it is abnormal. What we can only do is to lessen in doing inappropriate things that could affect the climate change. We must plant more trees, prevent burning anything, do compose pits, throw garbage in right places so that nature's forces won't aggravate us by different phenomena. Let us all make the pledge that we must change for all of God's sake.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

      People are not the same, as we all know. There are those weak, and strong. But how do we define them?

      God created all men equal, as written on the bible. It means male and female, whether black or white, tall or small, thin or fat, good-looking or not. Or, rich or poor. This is a very phenomenon situation to people who others don't accept them by their standards. Just because they only want rich people and no other than. They just want people of the same state- where things are always with them.

      But how do we really define men? Men must have freedom. Men must be gIven jobs equally. Simply, all men must be equal and all men must have equal opportunities. Black or white, tall or small, thin or fat, good-looking or not, there must be equality. Equal rights to live peacefully. Equal rights for freedom. Equal rights for justice. And, Equal opportunities or jobs to have- regardless of gender, color, height, religion and civil status in certain.

      Equal rights, equal opportunites. Let us always remember this. For only equality is what all men wishing for. Let us all be equal!

                        

Going Global Through English Language

 

                      

  It's easy being a person with something that you can be with any kind of person you meet. You can easily communicate with them without hesitation as long as you can express yourself to them.

      English language is a very important thing an individual must have. But not the way that only this language be accustomed to by an individual. In a sense that, English Language is our bridge to communicate with others whose language are of not the same of ours.

      Student like me learn and practise English Language. Though there is no one perfect grammarian in this world, but we try to speak and contruct our sentences eloquently in English. Perfect sentence construction doesn't matter but our atleast-learned English communicating abilities is that matter.

      Whenever and Wherever we go, just here or abroad, we can use English language to have a comprehensive conversation. Of what i've stated above, "English Language is Our Bridge to Communication," we can communicate to anyone freely and globally though English language.

REFLECTION

            Second quarter has come to an end. It was some kind of rush in most of the subjects.  Accomplishing activities and, at the same time, projects that flinched my every skills.

              Our subject, ICT, has been ended this second quarter to a simple yet very important and interesting topic. HTML. Hypertext Mark-up Language is actually the structure editor of a web page. The basic unit code, tag, is really what makes those page. This is just simple and very important to everyone because you will learn how to make web pages as well as knowing how the browser displays the page through the use of HTML. With this I can create my own simple web page for some ways.

                   For me, I can say that my milestone starts from here because of what have been introduced  to me and learned a lot from it. With this milestone, I can show to everybody else that I can withstand every challenges and activities. 

MY TEACHER, MY HERO

                I define teacher as the greatest companion of student. Meaning he/she is the one that accompanies his/her student to happiness, difficulties and adventures of every activities. He/she became my hero because of what he/she has that influences me positive values and abilities, and inspires me to become a succesful one.

                  In school, I happened to know my teacher well. The first time I was about to become his/her student, expectations were floating in mind. Physically, he/she looks very strict and I may not like him/her all the time. But I was wrong. You are good, nice and beautiful inside. You developed me in every aspects- physical, social, mental, moral and spiritual. Like giving me a retarding problem to answer but only to find out it's just so easy as cakewalk that made me realize that everything is possible. You let me exposed to physical activities so that I can improve my physical skills and  abilities like basketball, soccer, etc.. You taught me how to mingle with others properly and interstingly. You showed me the good and bad. Moral aspect and ispiritual aspect to our life, I happened to understand clearly. And, finally, you shared your heart in every single way.
                        You really are my hero, my teacher. You made me into a flinch from being blunt. You developed me as the doors of the world opened for me. I really thank you for everything good you've done and shared to me. My teacher, my hero.
                                                         

SCIENCE: Unravel the causes, Build the solution, Empower Science clubbers in action

                Earth has been given the things what people sought and needed more than enough. Modern technologies were finally discovered and created on Earth for everybody’s needs and wants. Human beings have had faster work and been made to more comfortable state. They have served us in everyday life for boundless time. But see and realize what have been done to Mother Earth. So take still your eyes here for I will witness what Earth has bumped into despair.

                 Can you see our surroundings? How do you feel? Isn't it very pity and bad. You know yourselves. Our planet Earth is billion years old now and we are truly lucky and blessed because people have lived from time to time and we must be very thankful. But what happened now? Plastics here and there. Oh, this electric fan is done- I'll burn it down, it's no use anymore. This is not really a supposed doing. Things that have reached their function span doesn't mean no use anymore. We can make other things or invent out of those. Then the outcome product would be surely functional to us. We can make robot out of non-functioning materials and devices. It's up to us how we will do it. If  everyone of us do this creativity we are prolonging the life of everything and everybody, especially Earth.
                  Being creative what saves and befriends our planet Earth. So let us encourage everyone to know why we must do this and start doing it from now on and forever. 
                                                 

MODERN DAY HERO

                Most of us consider a hero as savior or just who we admire. Children like heroes that have supernatural powers being watched on TV. We, adults, however, consider our hero as the one who makes us inspired, although it’s just an inspiration but also as our guide and support to anything we do.

                 Others consider their own heroes like teacher. There is that called “My Teacher, My Hero.” For me, aside from teachers that I consider as my hero, I consider my family as my hero. Why? Ever since before I was born, they were there to welcome me in this world when I will be about to come out. I am the youngest child my parents have. I am so lucky because they are five that can help me and give advice when I encounter circumstances or challenges. When I'm on difficulty, they will always be there for me. When I am on decision-making, they will always be there for me to give more information than what I know and support me.
                 In the end, I will be succeeding to my future because they have been always behind me to help ,e stand tall when I am about to lose stature because of challenges I encounter at times I seize my success. My hero, my family, will always be my greatest asset and forever they will be. I loved them, I love them and I will always love them and I will never forget them nor put them in despair for they have served me very lot. Because, MY FAMILY is my TREASURE.

BUWAN NG WIKA: Wika Natin Ang Daang Matuwid

     The month of August, we celebrate the Month of Language or the so-called Buwan ng Wika in Filipino. Different themes we use in order to celebrate this month. This month of August, the theme of the month of language is " Wika Natin Ang Daang Matuwid".

     Ang sarili nating wika ay napakalikas sa ating panghabang-buhay na pamumuhay. Tagalog, Bicolano, Visaya, Batangganeo, Cebuano, Pangasinense o Ilocano ay mga wikang maririnig sa iba't ibang dako ng ating bansa. Ang paggamit ng ilan diyan ay ang pinakamadaling paraan upang tayo'y magkaroon ng maganda at mas madaling komunikasyon at magandang samahan sa iba't ibang lahi ng ating bansa. Ginagamit natin ang mga ilan diyan upang makapag-usap, maipakita ng husto ang ating saloobin at anu-ano pa man. Tayo'y nagkakaintindihan sa mga sinasabi natin sa isat't isa.

     Our language is so important to everyone of us before, now and forevermore. We must value and enrich our own language because language is our straight way through success.

REFLECTION

     Aside from being patient in making reactions or paragraphs of different topics, I have learned that the importance of it is that sharing  information or reactions gives a hand to the readers thoughts to everyday life.

     The problems I encountered in making blog posts were the things of how will I start the post specifically the introduction of my draft. Another is that, if how will I make my reaction effective or in other words, in a sensible way.

     How I addressed my problems these problems is that I collected ideas and information first. Then I wrote it on my notebook as draft. Then I  am going to revise the words, phrases or sentences if necessary. That how I made my blog posts effective.

2013 State of the Nation Address of Pnoy

"Let us move on to education. Our goal is to raise the quality of learning that our children undertake, so that once they finish their schooling, they can seize the opportunities now opening up in society: accomplished. We have finally erased the backlog we inherited in books and chairs, and if Secretary Armin Luistro continues to demonstrate true grit, even the backlog we inherited in classrooms will also be erased this year. And there is even more good news: Now, we also have the ability to prepare for the additional needs that the implementation of the K to 12 program will require.

The problems that plagued Brother Armin in the DepEd are no laughing matter. Just think: one textbook used to be priced at 58 pesos; since he assumed office, the price of the exact same textbook has gone down to 30 pesos. What would have happened if we had been paying the proper price from the beginning? If we had saved the difference of 28 pesos for all the books bought, at five textbooks for each of the estimated 20.7 million students in our public school system, the equivalent would amount to almost 2.9 billion pesos. These savings alone could have funded our plans to repair and rehabilitate around 9,502 classrooms.

If Brother Armin didn’t have strength of will, he could have just left this culture of negligence in his agency for his successor to deal with. He could have also left the backlog, as well as the growing gap of needs because of the rising number of enrollees each year. But instead of being content, instead of saying, “This will do. My job is done,” Brother Armin will build even more chairs and classrooms, and will buy even more books, to ensure that even the needs in future years will also be met."

- According to the topic discussed by President Noynoy Aquino during his SONA. 

(http://noypistuff.blogspot.com/2013/07/sona-2013-in-english-full-text-pnoys.html)

     On that statement about the improvements of education quality it sounds interesting because there is now solution to what we are concerned with every now and then.

     Regarding the backlogs, Sec. Armin Luistro said that this backlogs in books and chairs have been erased. And it's a big news because the students are now comfortable to read their books unlike before that every book every student had was ragged. And students can do their activities on their seats with well-built armchairs. So, the students are problem-free from backlogs now, they can study well now.

     And regarding with the 28 pesos decrease of the book cost is a good news because if Br. Armin didn't have the strength of will, maybe we are still drained to book-cost buying. So, that 28 pesos saving,  is very worth for the fund in repairing and rehabilitating school properties. 

GUTOM AT MALNUTRISYON, SAMSA-SAMA NATING WAKASAN

     "Gutom" or Starvation means suffering form extreme hunger of an individual. And, "Malnutrisyon," Malnutrition, lacking of nutrients needed by our body to build up our energy and abilities to work.
      Throughout our lifetime, we suffer hunger. However, indingents suffer extreme hunger called Starvation. Not all of us suffer malnutrition, but indigents do and even to rich individual, too, because they stick to eating non-nutritious foods and drinks.
      Let us finish these states by preventing or lessening of eating junk foods, meats and fats. Let us do our food pyramid. Like eating green leafy vegetables and fruits, at least three servings of that fruit and five servings of that vegetables daily can make our body healthy and strong. And we must drink atleast eight glasses of water and also milk. So we can end our states in Malnutrition and Starvation.

Letter To President

Dear Mr. President, 

      I am pleased to have this opportunity to send you a letter through e-mail. By the way, I am a senior high school student of Ilocos Sur National High School.

   First and foremost, regarding under your administration to our country, Philippines, I thank and congratulate you as our President. Seemingly and obviously, I think our country has improved and changed, at least. Because of your loyalty and kindness with our senates and department secretaries and other government administrators, they are doing great with you on administrating our country. And I know, administrating country is very hard. It needs wise and precise plans to  keep the performance and the condition of our country good. 

    Everyone has the same concerns as others do. Simply, most of us, Filipino citizens, have the same or common concerns on our country. And may I discuss these then-and-now concerns: Poverty, Population Growth.

     Our dream is to make our country wealthy. But poverty, which we really want to give solution to it is not just a cakewalk to finish or end to make our country independent to problems. Because of poverty some could not get what they want. Like parents. They cannot afford the allowance of their child. And because of lack of budget, their child would decide not to continue studying, instead they will just find minor job/s to gain money. But I want you to know that I am one of you in making plans. I am hoping you can do something noble to lessen our state in poverty.

     Population Growth. How can we prevent the rapid grow of our number? Actually this is uncontrollable by now. But there is something can be done. The cause of this problem is poverty. Because of what have been told above, the child would just find job. And/ or, because of lack of knowledge they would just make family and their ambition would just make and make children. I hope you have a plan to control our population growth.

    All this I hope you are doing your best or will do your best to make our plans successful.

Sincerely Yours,

Marc Angelo
