Reflection

                Days are so fast and now, another grading is almost finished. This is the 3rd grading period,the 2nd to the last grading in my high school year.

                This grading period, I learned more on using notepad. I learned more to make an html file because of the activities that were given to us. I met some problems in making my activities. I asked questions to my classmates whenever I didnt know what to do. I also met problems in making our prject which was the web design.It was so hard but then we did it. We tried our very best just to finished it.

               The next grading period will be the last garding period in this school year and it is expected to be busy because of the events or activities that will be done. I will do my best this last grading period in my high school life.

New Year, New Me

“New Year, New Me,” this is a line that we often hear to the people around us when New Year comes. Most are making their new year’s resolution.

2011 was over. It was a year that was full of hardships and challenges but it was also full of excitement and happiness. There were people I met who give meaning to my life. Most of the time in this year, I was about to give up to different challenges but there were people who supported me.

2012 is another year for us. There will be a new me in this year. There will be some changes in me as days will pass by. One of the things that I want to change is that easily giving up to life’s trials and difficulties. I easily give up but because of the true people beside me, I’m learning to fight not just for myself but also for them. I’ll be more matured this year than the past years. I will concentrate in my studies. I will study hard. I want this year to change my bad attitudes. Sometimes, I get mad easily with my brother and this is one of the things that I want to change. I want us to be close and to be sweet to each other. I will be a better girl this year.

It’s another year so; let us correct now our mistakes. Make a better lifestyle this 2012 and change the bad sides within us. Spend the days of this year the happiest you can be.

Be Proud to Have an Own Dialect, Ilocanos!

In Philippines, there are so many dialects that we use. It is our “pagkakilanlan” as we say in tagalog.

            We, Ilocanos use “Iloco” as our dialect. It is the dialect in Ilocos Region. Some Ilocanos don’t know now how to speak their own dialect because they are in other countries and they are not using Iloco anymore. They live in other countries in some years and forgot their original cultures. Because of many years of staying away from their hometown, some forget their dialect. Some also are shy to speak Iloco sometimes and I don’t know why.

            Many Ilocanos especially teens don’t also know how to read Ilocano words and don’t know some Ilocano terminologies. This is maybe because of new generation and because of different kinds of “pauso.” Parents should teach to their children Ilocano even though they are in other countries. We should always know where we came from and be satisfied of what we have as our own.

            Don’t forget our own dialect. It must be treasured. Wherever we go, always keep in mind our own dialect. Be proud that you are an Ilocano and you are from Ilocos Region.

            Being an Ilocano is a great honor and having our own dialect is a great gift.

True Essence of Christmas

Christmas is a very significant event for us because it is the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. It is the time for sharing, giving and forgiving.

Everyone is excited when “ber months” come along our way. When these days come, we are so excited and thinking about Christmas. Do you know the true essence of christmas? Forgive! This is one of the things that we remember. We are all committing mistakes. Forgive people who commit errors to you and hurt you. Always remember that we are not all perfect.

“Give love on Christmas day....,” this is a famous line from a christmas song. God wants us to have oneness. Love people around you and let them feel it. Everyone is special in different ways. Don’t hate people who are not interested to you or don’t want you to be their friend, instead, show to them your kindness and they will realize that they should not hate you.

Share what you have and don’t be selfish. Many people need help or support. Give them whatever you can give as long as it is from the bottom of your heart. For example, the street children. They are craving for food because they don’t have enough money to buy some. Many people are just ignoring them but this must not be. We should help them. Give whatever you can give and they would be very happy. Isn’t it that it is so nice to help others especially children? So, continue sharing your blessings.

Feel the true essence of Christmas and let everyday be your Christmas day.

Make a Difference

Everything in this world is temporary except for CHANGE. Change is permanent. Our nation needs a change. It is change for the better or for the best.

As people changes, things around them also changes. Just like our country, as a concerned citizen, we should think of things that could make it better. We should make a difference. There are so many things that should be done to make our country a progressive one and it must start in us. People must be more matured. The way we think and act is a great need to make a difference in our society. We should socialized with others and help each other in order for us to have unity and oneness.

Our country needs changes. Every citizen must be more responsible. We should accomplish things that are given to us. Do your best to do whatever task or responsibility is given.

If you are one of the concerned citizens of your own country, start change in your own self and make a big difference.

Equal Treatment for Everybody

              Everybody deserves to be treated equally. Everyone desires equality.
              In our society, every citizen has the rights as well as the responsibilities. Equal rights mean equality before the law. Everyone of us has the same rights. There should be no higher. "No one is above the law" as we all know. Laws are made for everyone. These are made for us to obey. In real happenings, are we being treated fairly when it comes to our rights? I think we’re not. The others are higher because of their political powers and many more.
              We should also be given equal oppurtunities just like everyone desires. We should able to know the person not on his/her influence or “kapit.” This is one of our problems nowadays. Because of money of influence, some find a job easily, they easily solve problems if they have violations. There are special treatments. This cannot be because it’s so unfair to the people who are in a low-class family.

               Having special treatments will not give good effects tou our country. It's just a hindrance for the faster improvement of the nation so, don't tolerate people who have money to be higher when it comes to our rights and oppurtunities that are given.
               Don’t let money destroy our fairness. There should always be equal rights and equal opputunities to every individual in this world.

Climate Change

         Climate change is the change that we are experiencing in our weather condition. It can cause many bad effects to people.
         Nowadays, we are suffering from climate change. Why? It is because of people also. The different activities that humans are doing like burning plastics that causes air pollution and affects our nature. Many people are cutting trees illegally. They are not having a permission from the government. They should replace what they had cut. There are different factors in human activities that affects climate change according to researches just like land use, ozone depletion, animal agriculture and deforestation, are also of concern in the roles they play - both separately and in conjunction with other factors - in affecting climate, microclimate, and measures of climate variables.
          Climate change has so many bad effects to humans. But this is also cause by us. When will we stop doing things that can damage our mother earth? We should correct our mistakes as early as now for if we still continue to do things that can destroy our nature; we are the number one to be affected. Let us make changes NOW!!!
