Christmas Essence can be Found in Everyone's Heart

           

      Now that we have a few more nights before Christmas Eve, I am pretty sure everybody is busy preparing for this special occasion. But before others let us know what is the true essence of this event and not just enjoy the blessings and fun it brings in this season. Cold breeze, Christmas carols, Christmas Trees, Parols and fancy beautiful lights reminds us about the time of birth Jesus Christ. Our savior has been born a long time ago and that is why there is Christmas. 'Tis the season of giving and happy reunions.

     The essence of Christmas can be seen in everyone's heart when they share their blessings, when they attend Simbang Gabi, sing Christmas songs and many other ways. These show that it is deep in our hearts we make the Spirit of Christmas alive and that makes everyone happy in this season. Our love to our special someone, to your friends or to your family gives warmth in the coldness of the Christmas eve. It was never about the gifts but the love from the person behind that gift. Truly the essence of Christmas can be seen in everyone's heart. 

    "Christmas is the whole heartily giving and sharing of blessings. Also, remember Jesus Christ not Santa Claus for he is the reason why we have this yearly tradition and celebration.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. "
Calvin Coolidge

"Equal Rights Equal Opportunities" - Keep your Eyes Open

          “Equal Rights Equal Opportunities” – do you know what this means? It emphasizes the equality among individuals especially women. Gender-based discrimination is the most pervasive form of this inequality that must be discarded. Racism is also an act of inequality which contradicts equality in rights and opportunities. Everyone deserves to be treated equally. Keep your eyes open. Can’t you see today that there are things such as women maltreated and racism happening? Yes, they do happen. But it does not mean we will do nothing about it. As emphasized, this thing is ruddily showing that there is no equality among us. We are all equal in God’s eyes. In ourselves, let us practice being equal, in rights and in opportunities.

          The way forward equal rights and opportunities to all, especially women- will lead us to a better world and society within us. The obstacles that stand in our way through equality will be broken if we all will participate to break those barriers of inequality. There may be some individual differences but we are indispensable. Hand in hand, we will make our way through the light of equal rights and opportunities. We can help and practice this. Just keep your eyes open for the reality. Never discriminate anyone. We are all valuable. There are many things that display inequality, we just have to know it and discard them. This gender-based discrimination and racism are the most prominent act of equality. We know what to do. We humans, the highly socialized and civilized creatures on Earth know what to do for these things.

“As a nation we began by declaring “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it that all men are created equal except Negroes, foreigners and Catholics. When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

—Abraham Lincoln
As said by Lincoln, he showed equality among black and white races. We can do something. He is the best example for this post. We are free, both equal. No one needs to be higher than the other. Equality is what we need and inequality to be discarded.

" Adapting to Climate Change" - Now Or Never

   

            “Sometimes there are really things that needs to happen, a sudden, after a while, and then are all expressions of unflawed situation. But in every sudden a Change occurred. Now when there is a change I believe that there is an adaptation.”

Do not argue with me if I say that everything in the world changes. Me, you, every one of us changes. Even the Earth that we live in changes. Natures design for us may even change and teach us a lesson or two. As these changes occur we adapt to survive. But this does not mean that we will do nothing, sitting here pretend everything’s alright and watch this changes conquer us. As you can see in this post’s title, one change that I emphasize is CLIMATE CHANGE. I tell you, this is not a change we can adapt to. We must take a stand! Not just adapt but do something to overcome this challenge. It is now or ever.

This climate change can bring a great natural disasters and unpredictable weather which may we may not be able to prepare for. It brings us to destruction of Earth. As if we are one step away from climate change and natures destruction then…… Expect the worst! It is not too late. We, every one of us are needed to turn this around. We may need to adapt to climate change, but as they say “prevention is better than cure”. We have the power to save Earth.

            We are at the 11^th Hour, 1 hour away in meeting the midnight hour of destruction. Be good enough as in this simple blog, we can express and shout to the cyber world, and to the world that Climate Change has no room in Earth. Long were the days and nights, months and years of splendid by the traditional climate that we grew up with. The times when the fields, mountains, hills and us are blessed by the good old climate. Remember the times when our great grand ancestors enjoy those climates. We may adapt but it is also possible to turn this around. Act now. It is not needed to say what you will do. We have the initiative. Act now or never.

Reflection: Second Grading Period

    This grading period has been a heck of a study days. There were lots of things done and crammed and passed. I made some sacrifices going home late due to some projects. As in this subject ICT, I had new learnings and discoveries. Group projects are one of those times when a lot of hard work and cooperation is needed. I have not encountered my enemy which is laziness. I have done and showed all efforts that I can do. The lessons and activities are easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to do. Some learning that I liked is the making of our own html document by using the Notepad. It was a wonderful knowledge to have those.

    I had fun with the easy and nice lessons and exercises on the making of HTML documents. The HTML Tags are the most interesting part. It is nice to know those things which can help me soon in the future. Who knows, I might be able to use this learning when time comes. I liked the way the lessons were learned by making the different exercises involving the Tags in formating editing, font attributes and many more.

    Although I met some problems and hindrances this grading period. It was not laziness anymore but time management. With the other subjects competing attention for me to do, I lost track of time. It was like catching multiple balls thrown at you at the same time and trying not to drop one. It was very difficult. But, I soon learned that this problem will help to be early making some things. Through my immeasurable efforts I can proudly say that I have overcome those obstacles. I hope for a higher grade.

     I also discovered that as far as the school year gets, the better I am doing.

     No problems shall beat me in the next grading periods. Me, myself and I will overcome the challenges in this world of schooling. By the way I rate Second Grading Period as 7 over 10 base on the difficulty.

Science Month Celebration: What is Scientricity?

      “Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy”- this theme for this year’s Science month Celebration. For this year, it is all about this so called “Scientricity”, which they say a “sustainable energy”. Through time, science has truly advanced. For generations Science had its motivation and inspiration for its own advancement. This year as we celebrate the Science Month, we will get to enjoy and love being involved in scientific journey, even knowing what this Scientricity is.

        At first I was confused what this scientricity is. I guess it is about a hidden spark in every science minded people for motivation, enegy, and power.  The way how this scientricity works is when you see how we celebrate Science Month every year in the month of September. I guess it is also the good works and discoveries and knowledge that Science has given us.

        But one thing is for sure, as we celebrate Science Month, a flicker of Scientricity dwells amongst us and remember the good things Science has provided mankind for so many generations.

The Hero with a Power of Knowledge Giving

   We all need the heroes. Some of them help us, saves us and also they care for us. In this real world where bad things happen, these heroes came to save us. Our National Heroes are one of those but this hero that I will tell is not like them.

          I know some of us are fascinated by some fictional heroes but, this hero is more worth of them. Teachers are heroes. They have great responsibilities for students like me. They have the greatest power which is the power of giving knowledge, also wisdom. It is not only your brain they fill but, the soul and characters that you have. They improve what you are. They guide you. Teachers without them, there are no other professionals in the world.

         

          Their teachings will be your light in your journey through your life.

Teachers are the greatest persons to be praised and thank for they are the only real hero that directly affects you.

          We are their children. Teachers will guide you for what you will become on the future. Respect is needed for them. We should say "My Teacher, My Hero”, for they are only here once for a while, but their teachings will last forever.

Who's My Modern Day Hero?

      Who's My Modern Day Hero? For me he is just a normal person, I see everyday, and is always there to help me. He is one of a kind. He doesn't need superpowers or abilities like in comic books like "The Avengers", Fantastic Four, Xmen and many other more. He doesn't posses or did any what the National Heroes did, but one thing is for sure, he can save me, help me, teach me, guide me, help me and mold me.
       He is also my best-friend. Without him I wouldn't be here. He may not have done what Dr. Jose Rizal, or Andres Bonifacio, and Apolinario Mabini but in his simplest way, for me he is a hero. Because being a hero does not need to risk your life, save others.... etc., it is done by doing what is right for the good of others voluntarily from the heart.
        Do you want to know who is he? Of course, he is my father. He is a hero. For me, he is more more than the comic heroes in Marvel or DC, like Captain America. He has the strength , faith and initiative to help me in times of very need. He makes me laugh out loud when I'm sad. He does what is good and right for me.
       My father is the modern hero. Whatever you say, he is the one. What about you?

Jump Start!

    The first grading period of my Senior Year was a jump start. A different atmosphere of subjects especially ICT( Information and Communications Technology). It was good. I met new amazing facts and works of man. Some learning that I liked is how the Internet began.

    I have discovered that this Internet things has come a long way which I use in this blog  in its development. The persons beyond this inventions makes me wow!. How those whose who made and developed the important things of the World Wide Web also amazes me. I discovered how to use this Blogger Account, how to make one and how to publish, post and many more. I used to think this is such a waste of time but later I realized how important it is.

    There are also problems which I met. The main problem is my laziness to do reviews and study. That is the only problem which I encountered. No more no less.

     I didn't let that problem be a big deal. I fought nit as hard as I could. With all I can do , I did my best to avoid that bad habit.

     Moving on, I will strive harder, to fight and never surrender. I will develop a study habit.

PNOY, What's Our Status

              

Our president Benigno Aquino have just presented his SONA( State of the Nation Address) last July 23, 2012. It has been his third SONA, also three years now from his seat as our president. Three years is a long time from now and expectations are increasing. He presented how well our country is doing. In every aspect of running the country, I praise you for the little improvement. I hope this little can be turned to great.

        With your great power comes with great responsibility. In line with education, the quality status rose because of the implemented K+12. In line with poverty, thank you for helping us by making programs for the poor. You boasted that crime rates are decreasing but I disagree. There are still numerous crimes done per day. In our economy, I am not contented, still not satisfied with your performance. For me, your SONA doesn't matter. Words don't matter to me but actions indeed are what I want. Efficient actions are what I want to see. Stop barking at the past administration. Better do your job. If you will be scaled according to your performance from 1-10, I would give you a 7.

        You are good but, show us you are the best. PNoy, whats our status?

Keep up the good works. may all the forces be with you.
