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.

INTRAMURAL'S 2014

          September? Yeah September.... It's not only the month of Science but it's the month of intramurals too. Last September, the Ilocos Sur National High School Intramurals 2014 was held and various activities such as sports and it was conducted during that dates, with the theme "Sustaining Excellence and Teamwork through Sports and Dancing".

          Hearing the word Intramurals, sports comes to my mind. there so many sports, like volleyball, basketball, athletics, chess, and so many more. During our intrams, I just watched live the games like in soccer, basketball, volleyball and sepak takraw too. All players were good. But in all these sports, SENIORS won and I am proud that Senior won, because I am a senior student. :)

          Any people can play any sports, even you are young or old as long as your body can play that game or sports. And through this activity, people can raise their hidden skills and talents through playing sports and dances.
