CHANGE for the BETTER or IMPROVE


Do we need changes? What if there's nothing to change? Should we change?
In order to become progressive our culture, our self, nation we need change. Change is one of the ways to have new world, new beginning. To have a better life, we have to maintain and change many things. As a human, I want to improve the world where I belong to right now. I know that change, starts with me. There are many things to be done I have to change myself for the better. I have to improve myself for I have done a lot of mistakes that gave me lessons to become more responsible.
But there are aspects in life that we don’t have to change we just need to improve it because changing it might change all of the things we have started right and might cause lots of troubles.

KANNAWIDAN: YLOCOS FESTIVAL


Kannawidan is one of the most awaited festivals in Ilocos Sur. During these festival cultures, traditions and products are put into show.
One of the main attractions in this festival is the display and sale of products from different towns around Ilocos Sur. Where I have seen how creative Ilocono’s are. They made Handi crafts made from indigenous materials.
There is also a showdown on native costumes, native arts designs and some native products held at Vigan Heritage.
The other highlights in this festival is the vintage car presentation, living treasure’s awarding rites and the search for Miss Saniata 2012.
This year’s Kannawidan for me is better than of last year, because this year my mom gave me the freedom to watch the shows every night not like last year my mom did not allow me to go and watch the shows.

REFLECTION


This grading period I learned a lot in using more html tags, thanks to those Exers that were given to us that trained us.
This grading period was way much challenging than the past grading. Making your own web was a great experience and challenge to me. I never thought that they will give me the responsibility in making our web design, which is our project. So I pursued to finish and make it beautiful.
I made research for more tags in the internet. I asked my friends who knows something about this. I put lots of effort in making our project because it was my punishment for not helping in the hardcopy. And I survived I finished it and I am glad that I have applied what I have learned.
          Upon making a web design I find enjoying and I think it will be my next hobby. It is very challenging to make a web which is cool, awesome, beautiful, and satisfying. Moving on I hope that our last grading would be more challenging and learn more about web designing.

NEW YEAR! NEW ME!


Year 2011 was a history lots of things happened. Happiness that I thought i will never lose, problems that I thought it will never end, friends which I trusted because they do trust me, failures which I will never forget and met a special person that I will never give a chance to lose her. Yes, it was a year full of unplayable experienced and lessons in life that I can apply to a new year which just started by.
It’s 2012 a year they call disaster, a year dated to be the end of the world. But for me who do believes that the destiny of our end depends on what we do to our society. What we need is a change and I’m going to start with myself this year I will be a model of good discipline to my fellow youth. I’ll try to do my best to help in the conservation of our mother nature. Instead of wasting my time playing with my gadgets I will join a group of students who go out hiking to plant trees to help in stopping global warming. Yes, I will be that person this year.
2011 taught me something that I’ll never forget, let’s start with studies last year I have been so playful in my studies so boastful that my extracurricular activities would give me high grades but it didn’t instead it pulled my grades down now I know that I should balance my AKA and EKA.
Failures which I made last year made me stronger, it taught me to be tough and fearless in facing those challenges that will come ahead. Yes, this is the new me.

Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue


          Dialect is an identity of brotherhood of different cultures.  For me I was taught of speaking with our native language ILOCO. And I am proud to use it though sometimes I always use English or Filipino in communicating with other people to train myself for the future. I dream of becoming a lawyer someday and attached to it is that I can only use two languages to defend my case which is English and Filipino. But still bear in mind I am an Ilocano born to speak with my own mother tongue which was trained by my society.
          To use our own dialect is announcing that we are proud of we are proud of who we are. Let us all use our mother tongue for building better community, because for real if we communicate with others using another dialect when and there is a lack of information to the about that dialect you are using can irritate them and will create a misunderstanding. And probably it will create a fight against to people who were born with the same culture because of a dialect.
          So I conclude that we should  always be reminded that it is better for us to use our mother tongue when we are to speak with others in the same culture.

TRUE CHRISTMAS


Once a year we are celebrating this very special day. A when our lord Jesus Christ was born in a stable, surrounded by animals in Bethlehem. Christians and non-Christians celebrate Christmas as a major festival and public holiday in countries around the world. Others celebrate Christmas with gift-giving, decorating there Christmas trees and also caroling which is very much doing by children.
Christmas is not for one day only. Every day is Christmas if we practice giving, loving and peace. Our heart wrapped by darkness learns how to forgive our enemies no matter how bad they are.
 Children are excited to receive their Christmas presents, but most important is let us be a role model to them, and explain the true essence of Christmas as a good time for forgiving those persons who left a scar on our hearts, time for being charitable to those persons who are helpless, and a pleasant time to have a strong bond with our loved once.

NOW IS THE TIME


“Climate change impacts affects water availability, water demand, water quality, storm water and waste water infrastructure, flood and coastal storm infrastructure, wild lands fires, ecosystem functioning, coastal zone functioning, navigation, and energy production and demand.” In short if we will not make a move, calamities will continue to destroy our homes and natural resources.
If we are going to realize why don’t we response to these life treating climate change. And to give me an idea on how to response to this climate change I have asked some persons on how they are going to response to it.
“One of the characteristics of living organism is the ability to adapt to their environment. We can adapt to climate change by doing sort of things. To sum it up, we can “think and do green” one of the best things we can do is to plant trees. These absorb co2 from the atmosphere which will prevent global warming. We should lessen the use of plastics for they have very destructive effect. We should stop burning waste and practice 3r. We should also have compos pit so well have organic fertilizers. We can do a lot with less effort. What we should have is discipline and cooperation.”
-       Sir Ricky
“Well, as a professional and advocate of student’s dev’t, climate change really affects us. It might be neither direct nor indirect; the responsibility is on our hands. Remember the 7 principles of nature, we, human were given the responsibility to work for everyone’s welfare specially the lower form of organism plus our environment. As indicated, let us work hand on hand to educate the youngster. Now is the time!”
-        Sir Jeff

See my friend; let us make our move now for a better tomorrow. Let us discipline ourselves and cooperate, let’s be resourceful in many ways to reduce the growing number of waste. Let’s know our responsibilities and work for it. NOW IS THE TIME FELLOW EARTHLINGS, wake up and be true to yourself.
