Change:It Starts With Me

Tired of the usual happenings around you? Same scenes everyday if not getting worse each day.

Oftentimes, if not always, we hear issues on poverty, corruption, pollution, over-population and crimes. These are not anymore new to Filipinos either here in the Philippines or outside the country. Such issues are indeed common and closely associated to Philippines. When can we get rid of such shameful image of our country?

A simple yet effective way of solving it is to start with ourselves. Let's be disciplined in doing things. Care for others and to the nature.

Don't wait until it's too late, 'cause we can now make a change. :)

Few More Days

Microsoft Windows Frontpage better known as Frontpage, an HTML editor, is the newest discovery we had in our TLE class. It is interesting to explore such, its features are are somewhat unfamiliar to us but at least easy to adopt with.

The last weeks of the Third Quarter was full of activities. These days were also the days when we were busy practicing for the Longganiza Festival. We almost have no time in attending our classes, we are also required to practice the whole day. It's good I was the one who started our activity in TLE, at least I had contributed some help to my group-mates and at least I have experienced exploring the Frontpage, w/c I wish will not yet be the end. I hope to learn more about it.

<3 Shower of Love <3

The bright roads, houses full of Christmas decors, children singing Christmas carols and the cold breeze. These scenes await us every month of December.
They say this season is the best time to let others know how much they are loved. You can let them feel it in so many ways. First, give gifts and share what you have to the needy, don't be greedy. Second, share a part of you, your precious time would mean a lot already. Third, ; learn to forgive, don't fill your heart with anger rather fill it with love and happiness. It is not only material things that count, rather, what matters most is the number of people who smiled because of you. And may I share a quotation I love so much which goes this way: "You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving." So, may we all learn to truly love so we will be impelled to give and to share not only during Christmas but daily.

"Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino;Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon"

We Filipinos have many good values, values which can be applied in our everyday life and even in times of trials. This was once proven when two consecutive typhoons struck our country. It ended the lives of many people and caused a very big damage. Unity arose and many people extended their help for the others to get their lives back to normal. This caused the fast recovery of our fellow countrymen.

Another Filipino value is cooperation, this was tested when we had our practice of the speech choir. We know we are all leaders and that we need to cooperate with one another to have a better presentation. Many suggestions were given. Misunderstandings and arguments on the schedule of practice even came out.

Last November 3, 2009, we finally presented our speech choir piece. All our efforts in coming early Saturdays for practice were accredited because we won 2nd place.

In life we are encountering many challenges, but then let us always remember that when everything gets shaky, let's just put our eyes on God which is the center of everything. :)

Reflection

Unnoticed, time is passing so fast. Imagine we are now in the third grading period? As if it was only last month we were enrolling and now, one semester is finished. But then I can say that I've learned a lot and still learning more in every aspect of life. I've learned to grab opportunities so I can learn and value every effort of people around me exerted for my growth.

During the second grading period, I've learned so many new things, about notepad to be specific. All matters about tags introduced by our teacher.

I realized how hard it is to create an html file but then I am motivated to have interest in this area. Only, I have to be very careful in applying the different tags, because just a simple mistake, everything will be ruined. And that I am decisive this time to be more devoted in my studies and be more careful not to waste any single minute or second not only in this subject but to others as well.

A teacher is no just an ordinary teacher who just teach.

If you asked an elementary student what is a teacher or who a teacher is, he or she would say, "A teacher is our second mother/ father." This line is already implanted in the minds of the children at an early age.

it is true, teachers act as our second parents. they are our mentors, doing all their bast to impart to us their knowledge in many aspects. Generally, teachers are the noblest professionals. They act and serve as the foundation of any profession or vocation. One thing I learned from my mother though she is not a professional teacher but works as an educator that, "As a mentor, aim to produce students better than yourselves." She is not contented until her learners learn from her in any way.

for all we know, many teachers are devoted to their professions. Most if them are adherent to their vocation to teach and impart what they know, neglecting their personal life especially the old teachers, so to say. So, as students, we should learn to value the sacrifices of our teachers.

Imagine our world without the noble teachers? A community without teachers can not be considered as such. Whether we like it or not, we can not attain our dreams and aspirations in life without educators.

There are always new ways of doing things, new ways that are easier and more effective.

Improvement has been achieved through the aid of Science. "Diverse Science Culture refers to the different ways in which the development was originated, and yet whoever initiated a certain development, whatever culture he/she has, as a whole, if such development can be used by every other person not coming from the same way of life then that certain development was adopted and has been used to do things better." (Allelei)

As such, whoever initiated a certain development anybody can adopt so as to benefit from it and such way we can work hand in hand for the betterment of Science and Technology.

And that with the help of Science month celebration, we are prove to face reality. And we have all the chances or opportunities to correct and leave from our mistakes and misconduct against the environment.
