Cheers for Christmas!!!

It’s December again, everyone is already preparing for the special occasion this month, and that is “Christmas”. Some already put their Christmas trees, Christmas lights, lanterns and many more decorations they put in their own houses to feel the Christmas is already near. Everyone is making sure that their celebration will so happy, gifts are on their way.

 Christmas is a time to renew bonds of love. It's a wonderful time when loved ones can show appreciation for each other. It's also a great time to use that love to build bridges of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness. This is the time when Jesus Christ was born and its the reason why we are celebrating Christmas eve in December 24th until December 25. Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love. It's a time to remember that the world is made up of people like us and to see them for who they are inside. All have problems like we do, no matter who they are or where they come from. This celebration is not about the gifts we received or the food we it, the essence of Christmas is giving love, care to other people and it is the time for us to forgive those who have made a mistake to us and be happy for everything.

Christmas is best enjoyed when it isn't centered on decorations, gifts, or festivities, but when love is at its core. Love is the essence of Christmas. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share.

Climate Change

Compared to the past our world now is not the same anymore. What do you think are the causes why our world is different now? Did you ever tried to know the answer? Do you ever care about the world we live in?

When the month of December comes we expected that our weather will change from hot to a cold temperature. But what we expected is not what is happening because of some disturbance in our environment, like global warming. Global Warming is caused by cutting of trees, using plastics, vehicles and many other things that is destroying the environment and also chlorofluorocarbon that leads in the ozone layer to have holes. We can’t blame anybody but ourselves because all these human destruction are made by us. Everything in our environment have its own purpose why they exist we must also respect those things because they can help us in case of tragedies made by our environment. We must know how to reuse things if not necessary to be disposed already, to be able to reduce using things that can cause our environment to be destroyed and if this things cannot be reuse anymore try to create new things that can help our used things be used again in a new form in our daily life and it’s called recycling. And that’s a little tip to use the 3R’s in our daily life. Climate Change is a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onward and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

Climate change that is occurring in our environment now can be our darkest nightmare so we must take this issue seriously. Be wise enough to know what to do to stop this climate change. We can do this as long as we do this together nothing is impossible as long as we help each other.

English Can Be A Tool To Our Success

          We all know that English language is the international language. We use it in communicating in other countries. English really help us a lot not only in speaking but also applying it in our daily life.

          We learn English in many ways like reading and then starts to speak the language. And because English is international language we really need to learn how to speak in that language. If we don't know anything about English we will be left out. English is important so we must give importance to it we must learn it with all our heart and mind. As they say the meeting of feelings of the heart and mind is called LOVE. And with that we can conclude that when we do it with all our heart and mind we are saying that we must love it. We do it with all our heart because literacy and English proficiency have a big part in our life admit it or not, we must open our heart and mind for this language. If you hate English because it doesn't have anything to do with you don't, because one day you'll realize that you need it not today, not tomorrow but maybe someday. So if we find it hard be patient because one day you will surely need it. We can improve our skills in English by just reading English books or even better memorize a word and its meaning fro the dictionary per day. Don't forget that patience is a virtue.

          By just opening your heart and mind we learn more and more in English. Give all that you can as long as you can manage to handle it you can love English in just a short period of time. Pouring your heart and mind through literacy and English proficiency!

Keep On Dreaming And Start Reaching Those Dreams

          During the time of our forefathers the rights of girls and boys are very different, boys have more and better rights. That is what we call "Discrimination". Discrimination is an action that denies social participation or human rights to categories of people based on prejudice.

          If the rights of girl and boy will be equal for sure opportunities will also be equal. Because they say that in the past that there is a gender bias that is in favor to boys. But now we can see that the rights of man and woman are already equal like in work that only boys can do in the past now it can be done by the girls also and vice versa girls work can now be done by the boys. Even in the field of students passing girls are also in the honor rule. And because of our improved living, rights are also improving and that is oue advantages today and our success for tomorrow, Girls should be treated the way boys were treated, girls should not be just in their houses and must study in preparation of their future also also and that is happening this days. If boys can do those things girls also do it because all of us have its own skill. And what we need to do is to enhance those skills for us to be better and improve people.

           Girl or boy we must all have the equal rights. We do not get unlimited chance to have the things we want. Nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could have changed our life. So as long as we can keep o dreaming we should go for it and start reaching for those dreams.

End of the Book and The Beginning of a New Book

          In every end there will always be a new beginning. Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don't really end, they just begin again in a new way. No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas; this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one.

          2nd Grading Period is already gone it ended and I can assure you that that it ended in the most special and wonderful way. As it ends I learn new things that help me a lot not only learn but improve my skills. Before I never knew what are HTML, TAGS, and what are they for, but now that I learn about all of those I can say that now I know what those words means and how important they are. We started form the most basic HTML Tags until we got further and do more interesting and challenging activities. As we are learning I can say that we are also having fun.

          As we face different challenging activities we encountered some problems in making them and it is all part of the learning as the saying goes, "No Pain No Gain" . Some encountered the problem in Background Image this is where we put background on our HTML file. I also experience just a bit problem in Preformatted Text, the numbers were like running numbers in the web page. It's because it is not arrange well.

          I never give up on that challenge or activity because I know that the struggles I'm in today is a developing strength for tomorrow. And because I already know what is the problem I started fixing it, the numbers are not properly arranged so I did the arranging and after fixing it all the efforts I make are worth it and it is so overwhelming to do that work and had it successfully

         Be willing to be a beginner every single day. The book has started on it's 1st page and I will make sure that this book will be more beautiful and have more fun as we go through the chapters. There will be new challenges but I will make sure that I can handle it and improve my learning skills.

Intramural 2014

          Intramural sports or intramural are recreational sports organized within a particular, or a geographical area. The term which is chiefly North American, derives from the Latin word inta muros meaning "written on the wall", and was used to describe sport matches and contests that took place among teams from "written on the walls" of an institution or area, it also means "between institutions."

          The success and failure of any sports depends on how it is planned, executed, evaluated and corrected. The management should plan first what will they do because if they just executed it without any plan for sure it will be a big mess. And if they already finish the planning next is to execute all the plans they created and if they're plans are already executed it is time to be evaluated if there are some things need to improve they must improve it that's what they call corrected. This are some tips in organizing an intramural program. There are also objectives, to imbibe in the hearts and minds of students that sports is potent factor in making a person mentally  healthy, physically alert and emotionally stable.To create awareness among teachers, coaches, trainers and sport officials that impressive sports management brings about success that has tremendous impact to the athlete's interest, involvement and performance. To further elevate the status of sports in the region and i the country and to contribute to the realization of the national objective, greater image through sports. The purpose of intramural programs in school is to offer  am opportunity for voluntary participation in a varsity type program. The intramural program in school is gradually increasing in stature, size, and scope.

          Intramural are fun, recreational, social and competitive on-campus sport activities for students and teacher. This is a great opportunity for students and teachers to have fn to try sports they wanted to learn. All skill levels are welcome and there is no fee to participate.

One of a Kind Heroes

          A person that teaches something, a person whose job is to teach students about a certain subject, a person whose occupation is to instruct that's how most of us define a "teacher". I grew up like any ordinary children out there I was educated in an early age no doubt because I was raised by my professional teachers or should I say my loving parents.

          Most of us want to become a doctor, engineer, lawyer, accountant, manager chef and many more. Least want to become a teacher why? Most of their reasons is that teachers have a very low salary, but did they come to think that they're desired professions will not exist without a teacher. Its a privilege to become a teacher even though they have low salary at least they had the pride because the children they teach will one day become a successful professionals and they are overwhelmed because they become a part of their success. I'm so proud because my parents are teachers and they guide me and teach me to do things in my own and help me to improve it. As I turn in my 4th grade I already do my home works and reviews in my own. We all know that our first teacher is our parents. Even though they don't teach us as much as they teach in school the things our parents teach, basically can be our advantage in going to school. If there is no teacher there will be no other professions. We all go to school to learn by the help of teachers. They are truly our HEROES because they help us learn new things and help us when we have our difficulties in their subject. We celebrate Teacher's Day once a year so it's time to bring back to them all the effort and hard work they did for us even just to show it once a year.

          Without our teachers we will never be the professionals in our own field so we must thank them for being a part of our success. By just saying the simple words, "Thank You ma'am/sir. Happy Teacher's Day!" will warmth their heart, as they say simple but meaningful words are the best. Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers out there.

Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Towards National Wellness

          Science is the study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observations. It is all about the world we live in. And because some or should I say most of the people abuses our environment. We can't avoid calamities to come and we don't have the right to blame anyone because all of us have its our contribution in destroying or abusing our environment.

          In our world now plastics are one of the main cause of pollution. Almost everywhere you can see plastics scattered. Our mountains also had decreasing of our natural resources specially the trees. People keep cutting but never plant any in return which causes floods, landslide, and other calamities cause by cutting of trees and many other ways in abusing and destroying our environment. Even though there are people who doesn't care about our environment there are still the ones who really care for our environment. The science clubbers, they plant trees, clean some of our dirty surrounding, and many more for our environment. We can't avoid having illness because of the polluted environment. And there are programs of science clubbers which help our environment to be clean and green as mention, avoid illness and help our selves towards national wellness.

          Helping in any way whether in a little or big ways we can help our environment. Not only our environment but also ourselves against harmful substance and chemicals that causes illness. We can be science clubbers by just doing simple things in connection to healthful defenses towards national wellness.

My Heroes Always And Forever

          A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. That's the common definition of the word hero all of us have their own way of defining the word hero. For me a hero is someone that is always there for you in just one call they will come for you. There are many kinds of hero we consider like our parents, friends, love ones and others. They can be our hero in many way. We are lucky because we have our own hero.

          The day I was born I already consider my father as my hero. He's always there for me when I find my homework hard he help me, when I was afraid of thunders and lightning he come to my room and comfort me until I got back to my sleep. Even if he don't tell me I know ad I feel that he loves me, care for me a lot and of course very protective father of all times, "he's the BEST!" As I grow I met a lot of friends some stay for a while and some stay a lifetime. Then I met my second hero my BATMAN in real life. I find it fun and feel really comfortable when I'm with him. In just one call he'll be there for me, for advise and sometimes just to make me feel that I'm not alone and then manage to make me smile. He's my hero, my true friend, my Boy Best Friend. As I grow older it's not just physical, mental, spiritual aspect developed emotional aspect also have it's own changes and as I enjoy my beautiful imperfect life. I met my Prince who make my life even worth living he never fails to make me smile. I didn't even know how he makes me smile without doing anything. And by just those I consider him my hero. Being a hero is not a hard thing by just helping you be called a hero

          There are many kinds of hero some of them don't know that they are already a hero to others eye. By just simply helping a person can make them think that your they're hero. Being a hero is a pleasure specially when they help with all their heart. My heroes always and FOREVER.

Wikang Pambansa Tungo sa Maganda at Maayos na Pagkakaisa

          Lahat tayo ay may sariling wika na ginagamit. Sa bawat lugar na ating puntahan meron silang sariling wika na ginagamit. Sa Pilipinas ang ating pambansang wika ay filipino. Meron man tayong iba't ibang wika sa bawat rehiyon ng ating bansa tayo pa rin ay nagkakaisa sa tulong ng ating pambansang wika.

          Mayroon nga tayong sariling wika pero ang ilan sa atin hindi alam kung paano pahalagahan ang ating wika. Ang iba tinatangkilik ag ibang wika sa kadahilanang mas maganda ang wikang kanilang ginagamit, na wika ng ibang bansa. Maganda naman ang ating wika kumpara sa iba pang wika kung ito ay susuriin na mabuti, maipagmamalaki rin ito gaya ng ibang wika. Sabi nga ni Jose Rizal "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda." Ito ang sabi ni Rizal na hanngang ngayon ay atin pa rin pinapahalagahan at sinasabi sa mga pilipinong hindi alam pahalagahan ang wika. Kapag wala tayong sariling wika hindi tayo magkakaintindihan at kung wala tayong pambansang wika hindi pa rin tayo magkakaintindihan at maaaring pagsimulan ng hindi pagkakaintindihan ng bawat isa. Dahil sa ating pambansang wika tayong lahat ay nagkakaintindihan at nagkakaisa.

          Maraming magandang hatid ang pagkakaroon natin ng ating pambansang wika. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit hanngang ngayon nagkakaisa pa rin at walang malalang pag-aaway tungkol sa ating wikang pambansa. Dapat natin itong pahalagahan at patuloy na gamitin at huwag ikahiyang ipagmalaki sa iba pang wika. "Wika ng Pagkakaisa" atin ng baigyang halaga.

Journey To My Reflection

          In the first quarter I have learn a lot about Internet specially in "Blogs". Seriously? When I was still in lower years what I only know about internet is that it is where I search my home works, playing online games and just for facebook only. But as I was going in the higher years I learn more about Internet specailly now that I'm in 4th year. We have a lot lessons in Computer subject like the People Behind The Development of Internet, Internet Services and Tools, Data Types, Major Components of a Website, Parts of a Web Browser, Protocol, Blogs and many more. But my most favorite lesson where I learn and discover a lot is in the topic "Blogs". This is where I learn that all we see in a web page is Blogs of different persons. "Blogosphere" is the collective community of all blogs.

          Computer subject or ICT is not a hard subject in fact ICT is one of my favorite subject. But we can't avoid problems in the internet. I have experience problems in blogs specially when I first use it. I was like "How to post?" then after some time I already know how. It's easy but for first timers it's somewhat tricky.

          How did I address these problem? I just simply try harder to study on that topic try it and if does not work I repeated it again and again until I got it.

          ICT is one of my favorite subject but like in other subjects I'm not active in recitation so I'm planning to improve myself for the better and also to help my grades get higher. Review my notes everytime so that I will catch up easily in group discussions and also into recitations. :)

State of the Nation Address 2014

          President Benigno Aquino III delivered his 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 28, 2014 in the Session Hall of the House of Representative, Batasang Pambansa, Quezon City. SONA is yearly conducted by our presidents they tell us about what is happening in our country.

          The president started his speech with a famous and common filipino saying "Ang hindi marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paparoonan." The president's speech lasted for an hour and a half, focused on the Aquino administration's achievemants. He even presented the beneficiaries and recipients of the so called "Tuwid na Daan". Many of which are really time, but desperate question of his "Boss" (Filipino) is "How many among the 90 million Filipinos felt the love and the compassion of the Aquino government?", "How many are the choosen ones?" Many are still writing, aiming, and hoping for the warmth and sincere touch of the government.

          The president maybe did his best but that best is not enough for us Filipinos he must try harder. Even though there are people who was disappointed with his 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) he must face, accept and just try harder to prove that he deserve the position he have now. It's hard to be the most powerful man in the Philippines the number 1 problem is poverty but as long as he can manage and prove to people that he deserve that position the "Tuwid na Daan" will have a good result.

"Kalamidad Paghandaan Gutom at Malnutrition Agapan"

                    There are so many problems our country have to face. We can't never stop problems to come so we must be ready all the time.

                    Problems come unexpectedly just like calamities you just know it when it's already there. We can't deny that calamities is one of the major problem in our country. How can we stop it? Maybe you'll ask this question, but the answer is "we can't stop calamities coming so what we have and MUST do is to be ready and never forget to pray. Poverty is also one of the major problem in our country. And because of poverty many poor filipinos can't eat enough and nutritious foods and because of this many filipinos suffered from malnutrition, but even those who have enough money they even have this case of malnutrition. Why? It's because they are not eating nutritious foods. Go Glow and Grow foods is our basis in eating healthy foods it is also better to drink milk and water than drinking soft drinks that can caused UTI (Urinary Track Infection) and also we need to avoid junk foods it doesn't help in our growth so we must avoid eatin and drinking foods and beverage like what I mention. We must all eat healthy foods and exercise to prevent malnutrition. In this way we can at least lessen malnutrition in our country.

                    We can't control this problems that come but at least we can lessen cases, we must be ready all the time and also don't forget to pray. We can do this as long as we help each other.

Letter To The President

Dear President,

          I am a 4th year student of Ilocos Sur National High School. I am writing this to inform you about "black Sand Mining" here in Ilocos Sur specially at our municipality Caoayan. And to ask you to do everything in your power to ensure that the "Black Sand Mining" will be gone. Are you willing to help us in stopping the black sand mining? And remove all those local officials who are protecting the operation in the black sand mining?

          It's hard to just say "Stop Black Sand Mining!" because they are protected by the local officials. I wrote this letter to you because I know you have all the power and you can stop the operation of the black sand mining. Ordinary individual can't stop these because we are not in the position. What I mean is that we can't fight those operators and protectors of the black sand mining. But if your the one who will stop the continuing operation of the black sand mining I know and believe you can stop this.

          The island Puro is in great danger because of the black sand mining. If there would still be no action I'm afraid this island will sink one day. It is protected by local officials so we can't just stop it. We need your help in this problem Mr. President we need your powers as the president of this country. If you really care for our country you must start fixing operations like this.

          Thank you and we hope that you will act on this.

Respectfully Yours,

Frances Marie Alcayaga
