TIK-TOK

- Sunday, February 16, 2014

Before anything Else, I would like to acknowledge my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz, for teaching us such amusing lessons J guiding and supporting us though very busy at most times. Thank You ma’am

I had fun for this grading period because Photoshop has been close to me since we had our computer. I discovered it myself in the desktop and explored it all by myself. I was actually getting steps in the internet as well, and I just love it every time I am satisfied for what I was doing. Asides from the basic steps I knew, I learned an easier steps this last grading period.

I just love Photoshop, ever since and it’s really a great help in making many projects and assignments: D

It's like it's only been a while since I got here in Ilocos Sur and now the clock is ticking tik-tok because soon enough we will be graduating.

My Dream, My Future

Future is like a loose of canon. It’s Unpredictable. You don’t know what the future holds and what’s ahead of you. It’s like foreseeing how a star is up above.

Loads of minor are in dilemma of setting up their future. What would be their professions and dreams in life?

Like me. I’d be honest that I’m really not so sure of my choice of profession. I want to but I’m still scared. Yes, I’m still scared to face the true battle of life and one of my goals in this point of time is to graduate FEARLESS, BOLDER, BRAVER, and STRONGER. Reawakening my psyche. In point of fact, I have chosen my profession but likewise what I said earlier that I wasn’t still sure of it and I’m still scared. I definitely want this, and would definitely love this profession.

You see, I’m afraid to fail again. To fail every bit of their expectations from me. I don’t but that can’t motivate me. There’s still something missing, and I still got to find it. There’s still time but time is running too fast and I can’t stop it. I got to move fast and find my missing piece.

One thing also, I want to be Happy, Happy as if it’ll be my first time ever existed, Happy as in Genuine. Truly Happy. Uhmm. A close friend of mine once said that, “ He is not thinking of what profession he’ll succeed, but on how he will succeed”

I hope you get it. It really doesn’t matter what profession you’ll take as long as you are happy with it and you are really determine to get it and this profession is what really makes you complete. Don’t let other underestimate you of what you have chosen, be strong and prove them wrong that the ” TRUE SUCCESS is NOT FOUND on HOW HIGH YOUR PROFESSION is but on HOW your CHOICE COMPLETES you as INDIVIDUAL and the TRUE HAPPINESS it has BROUGHT YOU” Fulfilments is a triumph, BE HAPPY and it will lead you to t he true VICTORY.

CHANGE; STARTS WITH ME

They say, “WE ARE THE CAPTAIN OF OUR OWN SHIP”

It is up to us to make our mind up and decree.

CHANGE is a 6-letter word worth striving for. But Change doesn’t always result for what we are expecting. It doesn’t always come out good and perfect. It might be worse or something terrible. That is why we must be vigilant of our diminutive decisions for it might cause for a lot worst problem.

Some says petite people can’t do to anything make a change. Sorry but I beg to disagree. Even the indigent one has the power to make the change. It’s not only how rich or how famous you are, it is how determined you are, and how you truly care and believe for a BETTER CHANGE. Even I could start a change if what it takes is for us to get better. Youth could start a BIG CHANGE.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G K-A-N-A-W-I-D-A-N

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G K-A-N-A-W-I-D-A-N

Splendid stance, intriguing costumes and stunning performances. Another period for the celebration of Kannawidan has arrived. Being a part of this kannawidan gives me a great pleasure. Make me proud of being a true blooded Ilocano.

This festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province rich cultural heritage practices and traditions and showcase of different agriculture and industry products of the province. Its custom and traditions give itself a notable peculiarity. According to what is happening now, modernization is strongly influencing plenty of people which lends to the fact that customs and traditions are gradually waning. Modernized people now a days, particularly to children are very fun of spending most of their time watching television and surfing on the internet. The kannawidan articulated the sign of the extinction of the culture. With this kind of assessment, there is really a need to revive & reawaken the soul and spirit of Ilocano.

Kannawidan festival gives you plenty of activity which also sets the stage to a religious procession with miraculous saints from different municipalities. There is a tribal performance which dances and crafts the local products, cultural dances and ethnic rituals, food fest with their traditional cuisine and many more. They mounted their talent as well as their attractive costumes. The most attractive was the OTOP FAIR. Each municipality display and impress people about their products and for them to emphasize the essence of their town.

This Festival is very momentous to people of the province as they celebrate the province of virtue of the royal decree signed on February 2, 1818. Surely this conduction of the program was going to be so successful and has really attain its purpose of reviving and preserving the rich Ilocano culture. I AM PROUD TO BE TRUE BLOODED ILOCANO

New Year, A New Me ?... ;)

Another chapter has finished and a new beginning has come to an open. Another struggles to face, another pain to endure, failures to resolve, mistakes to be learned and expectations to be made. Consider a new triumph and an exceptional period of love. But one thing is for sure and that doesn’t need a so called “NEW “or the so called “CHANGE”; I AM.

We can’t say that we are perfect for the fact that we are CHANGED and we are NEW every year that we surpass as another Year enter. But, we can at least be better. Unfortunately, New Year’s resolutions haven’t been my circus of beliefs. If I want to or got to change now, I have to do it as soon as possible or at least now and not wait for New Year to come. But cogitate that I won’t, ‘because it’s me just trying to bring out the best of me and trying to be better. I know I commit a lot of mistakes but that doesn’t mean I have to be another kind of person.

New Year’s Resolution is not my thing but I could just at least try but not intended to change who I am. It is for me to be happy and be better.

To control my emotions & try to hold onto my horses.

To give out my best shot every time

To be on cloud nine (HAPPY) always

To be STRONG through it all and whatever happens.

To not to focus on what I know is bothering me.

To clutch every opportunities w/o hesitations.

To be more active w/o introverted

To develop my guts and confidence

To appreciate the positives and develop the negatives

To live my life to the fullest

To bring back my positive insights and strength

To love and accept myself (Genuinely)

To do what I want to do and what make me happy.

These are not actually made to change me but things I wanted to do which I was supposed to do when I had the chance. But what’s making me standing tall and still is someone who’s strongly never left me behind and stiffly always there for me loving and accepting me for who I really am. I’d like to share a portion of what he had said.

“Don’t ever change base on the interpretation of others on your personality. If being you is what makes you happy and as long as you’re not causing pain to anyone, why bother change? Don’t ever change but if ever you will, I will always here to love and accept you completely”

Whenever I hear CHANGE or ACCEPTANCE, he always comes first into my mind. I just can’t forget how he loves me and accept me. It’s been a tear of joy hearing those words from him. I wouldn’t want a NEW ME, because plenty of people is loving me for just ME. I may have had many resolutions written there, but that doesn’t mean I love my self neither any less nor to change me for a different kind of person. They are just my endeavour worth striving for. My ecstasy to fulfil and built a BETTER ME.

ICT :)

- Sunday, January 12, 2014

I was kind of different now. I’ve been busy and yet have been lazy.
I was distracted by so many things. I couldn’t help myself although
I distracted by these activities, I still enjoy the lessons in our subject ICT.
It’s not new to me actually because I’ve made several of hyperlinks and etc.
To my blogs back then and exploring many things. I never thought that it can be a part of our lessons. I’m glad that we also applied what we’ve learned to our project :P a
nd In last grading, I’ll be doing my very best. Enjoy and cherish every moment that we’ll have.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

We're living in the world we never really knew how existed. Full of mysteries and uncertainty. Full of unknown things and faults. But have we ever thought the rights we could claim? The opportunities we could take? Fair and Equal though?

We're living in the world full of uncertainty that we should be accommodated with strength and courage to know our own rights and the opportunities we could take equally without discriminating anyone. We are also indulged to discern the rights of our own Mother Earth to achieve equality and stimulate opportunities. All in all, one of the best example of having unequal rights and opportunities is Discrimination. It usually happens in Office, or School and is one of the main reason why many people couldn't mange a nice work. Equal Opportunities wasn't implemented. Equal rights are being dishonored. Instead of studying the background or the ability of a person, they mostly look more on the physical appearance or outlook of that applicant.. In a family status, is you are a relative or came from a reach family, most probably you could get a higher position that fast and easy. Face the fact. That's what they do right now. They're discriminating people, they are underestimating the ability of many hard working people. Why is that? Because of money? They don't have plenty of money and they don't have the power ? Is that it? We still Have our rights. They don't know how dedicated these little people that they underestimate to their works that no one could ever comply with it.

Le us give equal rights and equal opportunities to everyone. :)

English Month Celebration

This year's English month celebration, English language expanded at all throughout the world with the theme, "Going global though English Language." The Globalization of English Language brought name of its significance.

English language is the main spoken language around the world. At present, English is playing the principal role in our society. It is use is many fields such as in Teaching, a second language, in science, arts, music and entertainment and so much more. You see the vital role of English to us?

Another is we could further understand each other wherever we are in this world. People can also learn English by just merely watching TV or Hollywood. All we need is just Practice Practice. There are worth 45 Nations in the world who use English as their 1st language by 470 Million people all over the world. MAKE EVERYBODY SURVIVE AND GO ANYWHERE. An expression they said that reminds us the importance of ENGLISH in our lives.

Essence Of Christmas

Christmas is about love. Caring about another over yourself, spending the time to do the little things to make the holiday special for loved ones. Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than what we knew about it. It is the time for the contemplation of eternal things. It is the spirit of giving and forgiving. Christmas is also about togetherness. Being with the people you love, laughing, sharing a meal, sharing happy memories. Christmas is about giving. Doing things for others - collecting food for the needy, helping with toy distributions to needy children. Remembering those less fortunate. I have been to discover that Christmas isn't about the presents we buy or the fancy meals some eat. It isn't about standing in line ups at stores or handing over a gift we feel obliged to give. It's about love and loving in the best ways we can.

CLIMATE CHANGE

The predictions of climate change provide us knowledge of the future. These predictions are not like those from a crystal ball; they are not magic. Neither are the predictions speculation nor are they opinion. The predictions are based on scientific investigation of the physics of the Earth's atmosphere, ocean, land, and ice. The predictions include the role of chemistry and biology. There are uncertainties in the predictions, but the core of the predictions, that the Earth will warm, that sea level will rise, and that the weather will change is of little doubt.

Climate change is a rising issue of importance in our day and age, and one that is threatening our global society on many levels. In the past few decades, scientists have discovered that our planet’s climate has been changing at an alarming rate. The way in which we have changed the land to accommodate ourselves is evident in many areas including farming, cities, residential areas, and production, all of these changes have had an effect on the planet. These changes are now threatening the preservation of our planet. Evidence of climate change and global warming are rapidly increasing, but our western nations’ dependency on the economy and influences of capitalism are not only making these issues worse, but almost completely stopping the need for a solution to climate change. It is increasingly apparent that our dependency on the economy and the want for profit, is considered far more important then the current state and preservation of the planet that we inhabit. The aim of this essay is to discuss the importance of climate change and to argue that the western world is too influenced by capitalism to adequately deal with the issue.

Uncertainty will always exist in scientific investigation. It is part of the process. Investigation of complex systems will often lead to new sources of uncertainty. Challenging and re-challenging models and theory with observations will not uniformly lead to reduction or simplification of uncertainty. When the uncertainty is used in the development of arguments or policy that lie outside of the realm of science, the uncertainty can always be used to keep the argument or policy from converging. Always.

We have knowledge of how the climate will change. We know that this change will offer opportunity. We must evaluate that opportunity in context with our self interest and with regard to the risk. We know that this change will prove to be one of risk for many people. We have the responsibility, therefore, to act to reduce this risk.

REFLECTION

- Saturday, October 12, 2013

“I KEPT IT”

HTML ??? Huhh???? This is our lesson???? I asked that to myself. It’s because, whenever I explore things on the internet or web, I just snub that” HTM” thing. I always thought that it was the URL of any picture on web. I never thought that it can be so much more than that. Then suddenly, it became our lesson. I was shocked. As we go deeper into that topic, I was amazed. I didn’t know how amazing and cool this HTML was. So my reaction was, OH MY GOD.... Is this how it works??? I’m so glad that we have an ICT subjectJ. That’s what I’ve learned in the second grading, HTMLJ.....

Last grading period, I promised to be more attentive and remove my laziness right??? So I KEPT IT... I kept my promise. I remove my Laziness and made myself more attentive that before. So now I’m a little bit more serious on my studies. I review my lessons all the time also ... Maybe, I’m just inspired? Maybe... I also submit requirements on time, as usual... I’ve encountered problems just a little bit on our meeting in ICT, because ma’am was so busy that it why, we only meet occasionally. What I did was, I just made draft in my notebook and post it when I got home so that nothing to worry anymore. Another thing was not actually related to ICT but in my personal life. I’ve lost my Cell phone; I don’t know where my other things are. I can’t find it where I put it. Maybe I just missed place it again. I've never been such a careless person. I don’t know what happened to me. I regret being careless. So I got mad to myself. But then, I just accept, moved on, forgive and forget, and promised to be more careful. Be stricter on those people who borrow my things. So that nothing to lose again. I can’t lose a thing anymore.

Next grading period, I’ll be participating more on the discussions, continue being attentive and diligent. I’ll be more careful also not just for the second grading period, but also for my entire life. Gosh! It’s a traumatic experienced for meL. I’ll be tougher, brave and get the hell out of my shell and be me. J I PROMISE. And the last time I promised, I KEPT IT J .

My Teacher, My Hero

My Teacher My Hero

“A Hero is and ordinary individual who finds
the strength to persevere and endure in spite of
overwhelming obstacles”

-Christopher Reeve

Do you know that true heroes don’t wear super suite? That true heroes doesn’t have superpowers? They can wear anything and they are just as simple as everybody else. These heroes are not like those superheroes that we see on TV, that has superpowers, super strength, flying effects and what so ever. They may not have these super powers, but still they are a hero that plays an important role in our lives.

My teacher is my hero. She may not lift a car by her forefinger by she will lift you up when you are down. What I like about my teacher is that, she always believes in you. She always gives you hope and courage. She believes that you can do it no matter how hard a task is. She is always there when you are down and gives positive thoughts or words of wisdom to lift you up and which really inspires you to get back up and continue your life. She never get tired of smiling which means she is strong and inspiring people with her powerful and inspiring pieces of advice. My teacher is as strong as superman. Not necessarily on the ability or skills but more on the emotions and courage on the way she handles her problems in life. Life can’t knock her down for she is strong and brave. My teacher affects my life in the thought that she inspires me a lot. I always learn from her starting from every little thing she do to the pieces of advice she has given me. I love my teacher. She is one of the reasons why I am also strong and brave. The reason I always think positive and never give up in life.

All teachers can be a hero can be a hero, if they have the determination, patients and dedication to their work that can really give inspiration to people and student. Also, when she has her heart to show love, and care to her students and everybody else. A hero is not only those famous that we see on television because for me, all of us can be a hero in our own simple way. <3 ;)

“A Hero is a man who does what he can”

-Romain Rolland

THE SUPER COUPLES

“THE SUPER COUPLES”

When we are a kid, we all have our favourite superheroes. We loved them, adore them, be like them, worshipped the, dress like them, and act like them. As we grow older, we are being aware that these superheroes with superpowers are rarely found. We may not have superheroes with superpowers but luckily, we still have our modern day heroes to save the day.

I consider my parents as my hero. My modern day hero. They both sacrifice for our needs. They stay up late just to work hard even though they’re already starving and very sleepy. So you see how our parents sacrifice for us? They sacrifice their lives for us because they love us. Just like those superheroes that we seen on TV. My mom is a business woman; she goes to work from morning until late at night. She could hardly find time to eat at lunch time because of so many papers to do. When she got home, she is already tired and reckless, and all she wanted to do was to rest and lay down on her bed. My dad is a security guard in a hospital. He sacrifices his life to secure the safety of us and of the people in the hospital. He also stays up late, sometimes; he also stays up early in the morning. They are the ones taking care of us. Lifting us when we have problems.

I really appreciate and adore their sacrifices and love for us. I’m very lucky to have them. They inspired me to work harder in my studies so that in the future, I could be what I want. I could be a Hero also just like them, I could be a better person. I could also be successful just like them. A HERO. J

UNRAVEL THE CAUSES. BUILD THE SOLUTION. EMPOWER SCIENCE CLUBBERS TO ACTION.

"UNRAVEL THE CAUSES. BUILD THE SOLUTION. EMPOWER SCIENCE CLUBBERS TO ACTION."

What do we mean by unravel? How can we Build Solutions? How can we empower science clubbers? Let us know what the youth should or can do for our beloved mother earth.

Natural disasters are unrestrained and are threatening us. How can we mitigate these tragedies?

We humans are the roots of these disasters and tragedies happening around us. We had let it happen by disregarding the things which was made by us that causes these tragedies. By disregarding the people who are destroying our precious nature. We humans should be the ones taking care of our own mother earth, our home, our living. But what are we doing? We are the ones tearing it down, inch by inch. Don’t you know that those trees that you cut and did not replace, is one of the causes while there is floods and landslides? That those smokes from your vehicles or cars, is the reason for the abnormality of our climate change? That those trashes that you throw in the sea kills those innocent marine living animals. Maybe we knew about all these things, but we just disregard it. These are just some of the disasters happening around us.

So as early as now, I’m saying it... NOW... We should not just watch TV; we should not just standing there and watch people die because of these disasters. Because of our wrong doings, we are destroying our home. So it’s time that we stand up and build solutions. All of us could contribute into our own simple things that we do for our home or mother earth. We just need UNITY, DETERMINATION and COOPERATION. J Together we plant trees. Together we clean the environment. Together we reduce smokes, clean the sea and with these little things we do, even the youth that we empower can do, we could survive, and we could help mother earth be more beautiful and progressive.

"Wika natin ang Daang Matuwid"

- Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Wika natin ang Daang Matuwid

Wika natin ay isa sa pinakamahalagang yamang ating pinagkakaingatan. I makes us Filipino stronger. Saan ka man sa mundo, saan mang pulo, tayong mga Pilipino ay pinagkaisa ng Wikang Filipino. Sa temang “ Wika natin ang Daang Matuwid”, tayo ay pinagbubuklod ng ating sariling wika sa tama o wastong daan.

From that of our theme, we have aims and fulfilments. First, to fully implement presidential degree no. 1041, S. 1997. To encourage government agencies and the private sector to join programs such that increases the language and civic awareness. Motivate the Filipino people to value the Filipino language by being part of the activities in relation to Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa.

Alam naman nating nakapaloob ang pagkakailanlan ng isang lahi sa kanilang wika. Nabubuhay at nagbabago iyon ayon sa panahong ating ginagalawan. Sa panahon ngayon, unti-unting nawawa ang halaga at paggamit natin sa sarili nating wika. At kung kaya nama’y naglulunsad and pamahalaan kada buwan ng wika o agosto upang ipaalala sa atin ang kahalagahan n gating wika.

Wika natin sa Daang matuwid ang magiging sandata natin upang laban sa mga taong ganid. Though we have a rough road to tackle through or we can toughly follow what’s right. Kung gagawin nating Wika ang daang matuwid, pagkakaisa, pagunlad at kaligayahan ang siya namang hatid.

REMINISCES

- Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Reminiscing what I did the entire 1st quarter. How I cope and adjust to new lessons and to problems I encountered.

In this 1st quarter, I've learned a lot of things since I only have few knowledge about the lesson. I've learned about the HISTORY of INTERNET, how it was developed, who developed it and when It was developed. Our lesson on WEB BLOG increased my knowledge about webs, and the different sorts of web. I learned how important blogging was, and how we can learn on it. Specially when were given a task to post something, we search on that specific topic. So, from that we are learning things we never thought.

During in this 1st quarter, of course we all experienced or encountered problems. My main problem during this grading period is "LAZINESS". I cannot control my laziness, maybe because it still feels like Summer to me. :) Second, is that having a problem on time management. I'm always late in posting blogs because I choose my lab partner to post 1st. I also did not review seriously for the exam, because I have not yet copied all the lessons that our teacher have given us. But then, I addressed these challenges, as I learned from my mistakes. Trying NOT to be LAZY anymore, Manging time wisely, and if no time to use at school, do at home. Do my task fast and accurately, have a self-study. etc.

That is why, for the next grading period, I have to be more active and more attentive. I will not let those bad past to bring me down just because of my mistakes that had already done. I'll be more serious on my studies. SO that, I'll get a higher score for the next examination.
