What Christmas means to me?!!

Christmas is an event most anticipated Christians all over the world. The Philippines is known to have the longest Christmas season. Christmas in the Philippines is always a festive occasion. Why? It's because if we heard the word "ber" it means it's Christmas.

LOVE. I do believe that "love" is the most important or most significant of Christmas. How do we show our love to our family, friends, special someone and of course to God during this Christmas? Through gifts? For me, gifts are very useless unless it came from the heart of the person who gave that gift to you. We show our love to our loved one's by simply greeting them a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" but of course it must come from the deepest part of our heart.

UNITY. God wants unity this Christmas especially us people. Not only Christmas seasons but it must be everyday.

PEACE. Of course, if there is a unity there is a peace, am I right? But in this part we must forgive our enemy or foe so that our Christmas will be peace and merry.

Christmas is the time when relatives and friends visiting each other so there were always people traveling and visiting with great joy. I always thought that was what Christmas was all about: LOVE, UNITY & PEACE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

"Magandang Pagsasamahan Tungo sa Maayos at Maunlad na Lipunan"

Call it a clan
Call it a tribe, call it a family
Whatever you call it
Whoever you are
You need one...

Like in our society. Society needs people or us because without us we cannot say that,"that is a society." Society is composed of people, people who have care, love and concern for it.
All of us have a dream in our society, isn't? And I believe that we have only one dream in our society and that is a peaceful society. But my question is, who made our society? Is it God or the people that surrounds the society? Whoever between them I will say "thank you". Because you've given us a peace, clean and order society. But as the year going by, the society that you've made is opposite right now; dirty and disorder. Also this time , some people blaming the society because their lives was miserable. I believe that society has no fault on that because it depends on you and us. COOPERATION. That is my other dream in our society. I loved our society but as of now, the thing that I want in our society is different. Actually, I have a lot of dreams about on our society like no war, no competition. But only a simple dream/wish to our society and that is understanding with each other.
Fellow students and friends, we must cooperate to the government because I believe that the government knows the best about on our society.
I know that all of us did a bad things before in our society but this is not the last time to correct our bad doings. We must learn from our mistakes and try to obey the programs/organizations for the sake of our society. Not only to yourself but for all of us.

SEMESTRAL BREAK

IT'S VACATION TIME!!!

It's very nice to hear that word, I'm right? I know that you and I smiled after our principal announced that before.

Our semestral break started on October 23,2010 and it ends November 1. During our semestral break I had a lot of doings especially in household chores. In the morning, I was doing my responsibility as a child in our home. And in the afternoon, I was busy in watching my favorite dramas/movies.

In November 1, it's ALL SOUL'S DAY, my family and I went to the cemetery to visit the tomb of my beloved grandfather and relatives. We brought candles, flower and also snacks to eat. Before we go home, we prayed together for the peace of our beloved grandfather and relatives. And at exactly 6:30 p.m, we went at Mr. Donut to eat and after that we went home.

November 2, was not a holiday so meaning there is a class but my parents do not want me to go in school because they expecting that only a few students will come to school. At 3:00 p.m, we went again to the cemetery to visit them. The things we've done last November 1 is the same on November2,2010 but in November 1 we went to Jollibee to eat.

For me, I enjoyed so much my vacation or our Semestral Break. And now, It's the time to study again and to continue our lessons.

BREAKING BARRIERS THROUGH ENGLISH

How can you give the true meaning of barriers? As simply saying, barriers are like fence which separate us from learning or getting through something. It's just like fence which separate us, for example of this is learning's.
How can we get through English when there are barriers in our way? Maybe, some examples of this are those problems which serves as our difficulties in learning English. For example, our grammar, there are some barriers in this situation which we cannot get through grammar teachings. For me, those barriers are just challenges on how we get through English. So when we get through this, we must face those barriers or challenges in our way through English so that in the future, we will become better person. As we all know English is our universal language and it is very important language because we cannot communicate through other person especially to other countries.
So come on and face those barriers in getting through English. Let's break those barriers and face those challenges because English is our key to success. When we do not know how to speak in English, maybe we will no longer have a better future like the other professionals.

Filipinnovation, The Way Forward

Are you aware of the status of our country right now? Is it progressing or not or forever will be the same? Did you try to compare our country to other country like the country of Japan?
All of us knows that the country of the Japan is progressing because of the modern technologies that they were invented. I know it's hard or bad to compare our country to other country especially human like us but by comparing our country to other country you and I are challenge to invent something for the good of our country. Maybe you and I can be an inventors someday because of the things around us but always remember that being creative is the first step going to be inventor. Even if we invented a simple invention, for us it is very important like a diamond that no one can afford except us.
Fellow students, let us energize our efforts towards progress. Let us optimize our hidden talents and skills. Let us quantize every brilliant idea. Let us be a new generation of young men and women dependent upon no one but ourselves.
That sentences makes me proud, challenger and strong to study hard. Maybe you, we and I can do something to make our country become progress. And I believe that we are the architects of our own destiny.

My Teacher, My Hero

Everyone of us have a hero in life. Darna, Wonder Woman, Catwoman those are heroes that I know when I was a child because they always protect the people from danger against bad persons. But as the year goes by, I can differentiate right now, the word hero to superhero. Superhero is a friction and they comes only from the imagination of people while hero is our savior in life.

I considered the teachers as heroes because without teachers there is no professionals in our world like doctor, nurse, police, accountant, etc. When I was in elementary, I've met my hero and she was my teacher. I considered her as my hero because she is good in dancing and singing that the student will tolerate. Also, she is intelligent, kind, lovable and a model in school. In every competition that I've joined she is always my coach/trainor because I believe to her power and she believes my power , too.

My hero is my teacher and also she is my aunt. And she is proud to be a teacher because the future depends on the teacher.

Reflections

In our life, we've learned a lot of things through our mistakes that we have done. But in school, we've learned and discovered a lot through our teachers. When I was in 3rd Year, it was my first time to learn how to use the computer and all about computers. While in ICT IV, I've learned how to create a blog and many more. ICT IV is the continue of TLE III which are all about computer/internet. Because we all know that in this generation, computer/internet is very useful to us, I've learned a lot of things not only in ICT IV but all of my subjects.

Problems and challenges are part of studies. In my studies, I've encountered many problems like having a homework/assignments, also project, payments and memorizing the lessons that we have discuss because we will be having a quiz or exam tomorrow.

I address these challenges or problems by being diligent to my studies, sacrificing my time for not watching my favorite telenovelas and by being thrifty to my allowance.

Moving on, I will try my best on the next grading period so that my grades will become high and to maintain my rank as a 6th Honorable Mention.

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

Language is very important to us like nature, isn't it? But, how do we take good care our nature and own language? Is love enough?

Nature is very important to us because our basic needs like food to eat, shelter, clothing and others, the nature will give us. ETERNAL LOVE must be the way to show our thanksgiving to the nature like in our language. Yes, ETERNAL LOVE is enough. By loving our own language we are proving to others that WIKANG PILIPINO is our weapon against war. Meaning, by using WIKANG PILIPINO to communicate others is a way going to peace and unity. Even you are outside the country do not forget our own language which is WIKANG PILIPINO.

It's true that LOVE is very important to us because if there's an ETERNAL LOVE, there's an eternal peace and unity. And always remember that "SA PANGANGALAGA NG WIKA AT KALIKASAN, WAGAS NA PAGMAMAHAL TALAGANG KAILANGAN".

Sa Pagkaing Tama at Sapat Wastong ni Baby ang Katapat

"Sa Pagkaing Tama at Sapat Wastong Timbang ni Baby ang Katapat"

The milk of a mother cat is for the kitties, the milk of a mother dog is for the puppies and the milk of a mother goat/cow is for the babies? Are you aware that the milk of your babies comes from the milk of the goat/cow? Is your baby is a son/daughter of the goat/cow? Of course not, they came from your womb.

If the baby is not healthy, of course, it's the fault of the mother, why? Because when we were in the womb of our loving mother they always take good care of their selves especially the food they eat. I know that it's hard to be pregnant and to become a mother sometimes because it's hard to wait for a 9 months. You are caring your baby in a long time but after waiting, the smile in your face appears when you see your baby; the fruitful of your hardness especially if she/he is your first child. Your husband, families, friends are happy but the happiest of them is you, the mother. Instead of buying a can of milk which is not nutritious use your own breast to feed your baby. Breastfeeding is a way of saving your money and also it is the proper way in giving the proper nutrition of your baby. If there is a problem in your breast, it's up to what you should do because the future of tour baby is in your hands.
Why some mothers that are pregnant is smoking even if they know that smoking is dangerous to their selves especially the baby in their womb? Why some mothers are having abortion? Both of them are problems to solve. But always remember our dearest mother that " SA PAGKAING TAMA AT SAPAT, WASTONG TIMBANG NI BABY ANG KATAPAT".
