REFLECTION

Third grading is almost over and we had one more grading to focus with. Third grading, I discovered new things that I’ve never noticed before. I never get interested to those things. But now, I started to love and get more interested to them. Those things that I discovered contributed a lot in my current existence as a student. To be honest, I’m doing a mess in my class during discussions especially when I got bored. Sometimes, I always mess up with my seatmate. I always disturb her when she’s listening to our discussion. That’s the only thing I can do when I get really bored. Though I’m making mess in my studies, I can still concentrate and listen to my teacher. Third grading may be hard but still I find it enjoyable.

New Year, New Me!

New Year, Ne Me!

Goodbye 2014 and hello 2015. All the events that took place into my life in the year 2012 are now just memories, whether it was good or bad, happy or sad. As days go by and clock ticks before the midnight of December 31st 2012 my minds starts to think of the past realizing what have I done right nor wrong to my life. Looking back at the times where I, my mom, my father, and my brother are having a lovely evening as we wait for the New Year. I missed all the warm hugs, kisses, smile, love and happiness especially during this time of the year and it is priceless.

My life has to move forward for the betterment of my future which is guided by my dreams and wishes. In this year of 2015, I promise to myself to do what is necessary to be done for the betterment of my future. I promise to focus more on to my priorities such as my study; be more responsible as a young man; and specially to pay more attention to my family's need by means of looking and keeping in touch as much as possible with my younger brother and my loving mom and also my father.

From my past experiences I have learned a lot of things especially in the aspects of life itself, which made me realized to act accordingly and responsibly. That’s why I came up with ideas which are now made into my promises. My family is my inspiration and with the guidance of the Lord I believe that I can make this happen. Focus on my studies and the thing money can never buy is having my family so closely together again. All I need is luck, happiness, peace, friendship and love. <3

The True Essence of Christmas

          


          

          To me Christmas means a time of happiness towards everyone. It is a time when families and close friends come home from all over the world to be with the people they love. To most people family and friends come first in their lives, so this is obviously a very favored holiday.

          When it’s Christmas time, people exchange gifts often and take it for granted. This holiday is usually associated with receiving gifts. Personally, I think giving a gift is just as great as receiving one. Most of the time giving can be even more enjoyable. The whole idea of finding that perfect gift, making someone smile, and him or her realizing that you put that much thought into just one gift is just one way which Christmas brings happiness to everyone.

          They imagine seeing snow-covered houses lit up all along the street with their bright lights one trying to outdo another, and a large, fresh pine tree in their living room window covered with lights and bulbs with an angel perched onto the very top. When they come in the kitchen they smell the contagious aroma of their mother’s cookies baking. That is an example of a typical outlook on a normal Christmas. To me it’s not Christmas without the decorations or festive Christmas treats.

          Christmas time is my favorite time of year. I love when it’s time to shop for all those Christmas gifts for everyone. I love the red and green decorations, and my beautifully decorated Christmas tree sitting in my living room and the great music. But most of all, I love this time of year because I get the chance to be with my family and friends while I enjoy everyone’s Christmas cheer during this wonderful time of year. And Christmas is also togetherness. Being with the people you love,laughing, sharing a meal, and sharing happy memories. :)

Climate Change

         The world now faces one of the most complex and important issues it has ever had to deal with: climate change.  Though this was once an issue that would draw much argument and strife about its creditability, most of the world’s nations can no longer deny that it is a real issue. Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather; it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate, a change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks.

There are so many factories that exhale really destructive substances and pollute the air. We all know very well that air is something we can’t live without. When we breathe the polluted air, we can easily get cancer in our lungs. So we must wear mask if we are in the polluted air so that we can avoid lung cancer.  We cannot escape from the polluted air-it’s everywhere, even in our homes and we are breathing it non-stop. This can cause cancer and other serious diseases.And even the sunlight, when you stay long under the sun it can cause sunburn, and it will destroy your skin. So avoid stay long under the sun.

As a conclusion, our president or all the officials in our country should prioritize combating climate change over reducing poverty. Of course, poverty is a big issue, which needs a solution to the poor people who dies. Why are they dying? It’s because the climate doesn't allow them to grow food and they can’t afford to buy it from other countries. The climate is a very important thing and if we don’t stop the changes soon, more and more plants and trees are going to die, we won’t have enough food and then not only will the third world countries suffer from hunger but so will the whole world. I think it is better to first stop the changes in climate and then gradually reduce the hunger in the poor countries. Because if we stop the changes, we are going to be healthier and everything around us will be cleaner and it will be how it actually should be. I believe harmony between nature and human beings will return.

National Reading Month Celebration 2014

Outpouring Hearts and Mind through English Proficiency and Literacy

We all know that English is our universal language. It is used almost all over the world so we must learn it for our future plans in life. Reading is one of the most important ways for us to learn. They said if you read you can travel through your imagination. You can extend your knowledge by meeting those unfamiliar words and while reading you’re already developing yourself to become an effective speaker and writer and most important is for every story, for every title and for every page of a book there is a hidden message and lessons for us to apply in our lives.

Why do we need to study English language? If we know how to speak English we will be able to express ourselves without having anyone to judge us because we know that they can easily understand us. We will not be afraid to talk to the foreigners anymore because we are confident that whenever we wanted to start a conversation with them they’ll understand us and there will no longer a miss understanding between us and in the future you might use this in your job because some companies, corporation or any other organization prefer to use English language. It is indeed a very powerful language that we should treasure forever.

There’s a lot of importance in learning literacy and English proficiency. To be a good speaker, we must know how to read and write. In learning literacy and proficiency, we must be a good listener so that we could gain more knowledge to become more proficient. Literacy is the ability to read and write while proficiency is the advancement of knowledge. We study English for many reasons. We study any language; we need to study this to have a way to articulate the things we need to desire. And in learning English, we must put it in our minds but not only in mind but also in our hearts.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

In our lives we have our own rights and opportunities. And there are limits in using them.  In the place that we are now, we can’t escape to the fact that discrimination is now very rampant. When you’re rich, you’ll get the first and the best service. When you’re poor, well, as usual you’ll stay on the last line. When you have a powerful family, or maybe, an influential one, then, you’ll be treated well. But when you are on the other side, expect the unexpected.

Rights are not only for those who are rich and powerful. We are all humans; we all have the opportunities and so with the Rights. In our generation today, it’s unbelievable to say that we are all equal since we have a wealthy person, we also have poor individual. Humans aren't born racist. We are all born equal. So why it is everyone is bent on believing that one life is less important than another. Why it is person high up in society can get away with something other people can’t? 

God created us all. In his eyes, we are all equal. No one is rich or poor. No one is more powerful than the other. He love males and he love females. We are all God children. So, Let’s Make Equality a Reality! :)

R-E-F-L-E-C-T-I-O-N

               Every time I enter our school, I gained a lot of knowledge which I can apply to my daily life. I also discover different new things. I really don’t know how to start my reflection, but I am just going to share some of my experience or problems that I’ve encountered. The main problem that I have encountered during this grading period is finding time to post on my blogs because there’s so much blogs to post. I thought that this grading period wasn’t bad, but I was wrong. This grading wasn’t easy at all. I think it’s just the time that I should get more serious and strive harder. And I’ve learned a lot of lessons or things. One of that is about the HTML or what do we call Hypertext Mark-up Language. It involved the tags. This lesson is new to us so we get interested to this. I learned that this HTML can help the students enhance their knowledge.
