A Worthful Week

Last October 25, 2010, someone texted me at exactly 7:55 in the morning stating the meaning/signification of SEMestral BREAK,
S-sleepful nights
E-exam free
M-morning smiles

B-batugan days
R-restful days
E-endless gala
A-and lastly
K-kahirapan, no allowance!!!
and the first thing that came into my mind was, "oh?!.., really?!!."

I spent the whole week at home. I always sleep late each night because I do watch tv. I didn't ask any money from my parents just to buy something I want because I have my own money in buying. Each day that week, I was always left alone in our house that's why I was the only one who took care of it.

I can say that my sembreak was worthful because of the recently concluded barangay and sk election. I run as SK kagawad and luckily, I won. Aside from winning that position, I was engaged in meeting new friends in our barangay. I am very happy and contented in this kind of blessings that I've received from God.

Reflection on this Second Quarter

Another grading period had passed. But the lessons that were discussed had remained.

Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz helped me learn on how to create exer's, do essays on different topics and gained knowledge on the discussions.

On the next grading, I will really give my best to cope up and concentrate more on my ICT IV.

Breaking Barriers Through English

Don't you envy those people who are very fluent in English? Why do we need to learn this language?
English is the universal language. I say this because it is used by almost all country in the world. Through English, we can communicate with others. We should learn and love the English language for us to become wiser and to widen our knowledge in a wider horizon. English can give us opportunity to have a descent job and can make our life easier. Ample knowledge of the English language means you can compete world wide. Don't be afraid to face your fears especially in trying to learn in speaking the universal language.
Through English, we can break barriers that are blocking our way to success. In unity, there is strength, if you all go for development, everything will fall into its rightful places. Just believe in yourself that you can do it!

Filipinnovation, The Way Forward

In our day to day life, I can say that we are already used in so many technologies around invented by Filipinos. We should be thankful to God be proud of them for these things that they've made because without these things, we can't make our life and work easier.

Have you ever realized that these technologies and machines can affect and harm us? They are helping us to live life easier isn't? But, instead of cooperating with these things, were only letting ourselves useless. We are all innovators. As a student, I want to improve things, want to make changes and I want to develop myself to the fullest. By doing these, sooner or later, the success we've waiting for will be in the palm of our hands.

We should use these things in the right place and in the right the time with a very valid reason. We should inspire each other to work harder and continue working in our chosen fields for the improvement, enhancement and development of our crafts.

My teacher, my hero

What do you understand about heroes? Does someone need to die to be called a hero? What are their characteristics?
The dictionary defines hero as a man of great courage, nobility or one admired for his exploits. The best example of a hero for me are the teachers. Teachers are known for their ability to transform and develop young minds into better citizens of the world. They are being placed on a pedestal by most people because of their very tough work. We all know that if there are no teachers, there could be no doctors, enginners, lawyers, pilots, armies, nurses, policeman, law makers and other proffesion. Teaching is regarded as the noblest proffession in the whole wide world even though they are not properly compensated still they faithfully do their tasks well. Why do we needto attend school? Because we need to widen our horizon in all aspects in our life. If this done , we will be of help and become a role models not only to the community were we live but also to a larger scale.Teachers are really our bridge to reach our ambition in life. Why do I consider them bridge? because without their guidance, we will not be able to learn the ways of life and attain what we hope to become in the future.
We should thank God for giving us wonderful teachers because without tem I can say that we still know little about life. We need our techera guidance apart from our parents.

Reflections

During the first grading period from June to August, I can say that I had gained and learned many things that were discussed to us. From the moral values to the unending world of economics. From parts of speech to campus journalism in Filipino. From music, arts, physical education and health to the amazing world of physics. From algebra and trigonometry to the hi-tech creation of technology and livelihood education.

But before I learned all these things, I had met many difficult challenges that made or help me pursue discovering many things in life. I had experienced many nights burning the midnight oil just to finish my assignments. I had felt my toes aching in the sense that I can't walk straight, but I have to for the sake of my grades. I listened to the discussions of my teacher even if I am so sleepy. I had experienced also to go to school on weekends to do some paper works together with my group mates.

I am so blessed because I was able to face/meet those challenges in my life as a student. In the end, I am still recalling those memories, memories that made me stronger and ready to face more challenging, more difficult problems and toils in the days to come. After all, life is like that, full of challenges, challenges that will make you a better individual in the future.

Sa Pangangalaga ng Wika at Kalikasan, Wagas na Pagmamahal Talagang Kailangan

"All things are artificial, for nature is the gift of God." This is a quotation of Mr. Thomas Browne, an English physician and writer. Language is how people communicate with one another. It's a terrific tool. The daily usage of our Filipino language and taking good care of our nature will help us realize the real meaning of unity and peace.
We should give and show love, care and importance to our country especially to our nature and to our own language. One Philippines, one language, one goal. And we should give attention for it. Nature is the gift of God to us man, we should treasure and value the things around us. can you imagine a country without a permanent language? And a country that is lack of nature? Well, that explains on what a country is missing for. The people living in that country have no peace, unity and beauty at all. We are so blessed that we have our own language in communicating to others and that's one of our pride, the Filipino language.
Keep on using our own language and always preserve the nature. Be proud that you are a Filipino. Shout it in the world!

"Sa pagkaing tama at sapat wastong timbang ni baby ang katapat."

"Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet in an environment equally fit for birth, growth, work, healing, and dying." This quotation of Mr. Ivan Illich says a fact. Eating is the consumption of food to sustain life. A new born baby should breastfeed by his/her mother so that the baby will be healthy.
A pregnant woman should always eat healthy foods for her baby. The key in staying healthy and strong is to eat large quantities of energy-rich foods. But if mother won't do it, the baby will be malnourished and unhealthy.
A healthy mother means a healthy baby. It is very important to eat nutritious and delicious foods in order the mother will be healthy and strong in giving birth.

LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT

Dear Mr. President,
"Leaders are not born, Leaders are made," and you are an excellent example to this saying. We are unknowingly developing leaders in ourselves through our experiences and daily life's challenges.
To you our president of the Republic of the Philippines, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, I wish you all the very best in life, good health, long-lasting love life, righteous mind, functional heart and always preserve the guidance of the Lord Almighty.
I hope that you can successfully uplift the economic status of the Philippines as you had reiterated during the election campaign. GOOD LUCK!!!
