What does it take to be an ICT student?

When I was still in my elementary years,  We were already dealing with computers. We started from its basic.  Then, the computer  served as my friend until now. But when I entered high school, I didn’t thought of having  ICT as a subject.  From first year to fourth year, our teachers had taught us how to deal with computers and the things I had learned  became deeper.

I consider ICT as  wonderful,  and there are lots of  information that we must know.  Our society now is becoming complex due to the advanced  technology. Everywhere we  go, we can always  meet people with  computers. All these years I have learned a lot. Like the history of the computers, making and using a tags, making a web design the  persons behind this and many more.

 To be an ICT student we need to love all the things that we learn. It can give us many information and idea and we can  use these in the future.

 

My Dream, My Future

“Never let go of a dream until you are ready to wake up and make it happen.” In my sixteen years of existence in this wonderful world. I knew that every single person  in this lifetime have its own dream.  A dream which may lead them to be successful or a dream that will let them  go down. We don’t have any idea on what will be the things that will happen in the near future. Only God knows  the answers.

When I was still a small girl, someone asked me on what I want to become in the future. So I hurriedly told that I want to become a teacher. But then my mother told me that being a teacher is hard and it requires  great responsibilities. As time passed by, I taught of becoming an accountant or taking up the course  Information Technology . Some told me that I must follow what’s in my heart. So I decided to take up accountancy. But wait a minute. Something is bothering my mind. These passed few days I had a hard time choosing  what course I am  going to take up. It’s either accountancy or engineering because I like these two courses. But then I really want  accountancy. So I was dreaming to becoming an accountant someday , have a stable job and  conquer all my dreams.

              
 I will try all my best so that I can pursue all my dreams,t0  overcome all my fears in lifeso that I can surpass also the challenges that GOD will  give me.

Reflection

How many months had passed. Our graduation is now coming nearer and nearer. We will now leave this school, to face the other chapter of our life,COLLEGE LIFE. Third grading is now over.

During our third grading period, I learned about HTML Tags; their uses and meanings. I also learned to apply the other tags like applying color, image, hyperlinks and many more. I had a great time in making our Web Design, for how many days. Fortunately, we submitted it on time. Our project is about the Festivals of Vigan City. But the most important thing is that I can now make a web design.

I hope that I will learn another topic so that I can use this in everyday. I think that I will encounter this again for the future.

New Year, New Beginning

        Everybody has the change to change for the better. Every day is a new opportunity to transform. I believe that there is a door to change.


       At the beginning of the year of the Dragon. I told to myself that I will become a strong girl who can stand by my own feet. Do the things that is possible and to have a confidence to myself. And I will bear to think positive and all the good vibes will be there. There are lots of things in life that I wanna do, to become a better person, to finish my studies and many more. As I tried to reminisce all the things that I have done last year. I become lazy sometimes, spent my money easily and being irresponsible in some ways. But I do all my best ti change for the betterment of my future.


         I know that all of us want to become a better person someday. The only thing that I may say is that don't lose hope. When we want to become a successful we must  open our mind to see and to do all the things. When life tests you, we must not think negative thoughts. just let the good vibes govern our life. And we will soon see our life with the positive things all the way. We must totally change change for the better.

I AM PROUD TO BE AN ILOCANO!!

        The first thing we learn is our native language. It is the main means of communication. Only a few, use Filipino or English as a means of communicating with one another. It is only when the child enters the school that he is introduced to the Filipino or English language. Most often than not,  even if we are old we still use our mother tongue.

        Being familiar with our native language is good. We carry our being as an Ilocano everywhere we go. We can relate to our Fellow Ilocanoes and we understand one another. However, there comes a time that we need to be open to other languages like Filipino or English. This is because we need these in our work, education and specially to understand other people. Unless we are open, we can never grow. This is also our means of uplifting our morale and confidence to be a better person. We become competitive which will open the way to more opportunities for us. Thus developing our potentials. 

        However we must not forget our mother tongue, because it is in going back to what we have learned before that pushes us to move on. We should be humble and live simple. And one way is by using our native language. We should remember that what we are today is because of what we are then. We should be proud of our mother tongue. Forgetting our native language is like disregarding our past which is contributory to what we are today. I AM PROUD TO BE AN ILOCANO!! 

True Essence of Christmas

        Christians all over the world celebrate Christmas in December 25. This is a special holiday for us to have a family gathering, colorful decorations in our houses, exchange of gifts, and even singing of christmas songs. Many people also take part in religious services.

        Christmas is a sacred season where we commemorate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. Every person usually says "Merry Christmas" to every one. We usually do a merry making. Some people are being materialistic sometimes when Christmas is coming. But they forget what the true essence of Christmas. Do you still remember those? For sure, some of us don't know what it is. Love is one of the essence of Christmas. It is a way to show love to God, family, friends, relatives and everyone. Gift giving is also a way of expressing our love to others. It is a sign of gratitude to the people whom helped us. We also say sorry to all the persons we've hurt. Thank You to all the persons who helped us made our life colorful, directed us to the right path and who molded us. We also forgive the persons who hurt us. These are some of the ways to show the true essence of christmas.

        We must always remember all of them not only for Christmas Day but forever and everyday. Let us have christmas season everyday. Let us bear in mind that the true spirit of Christmas is in our heart.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

       Everyone is born to treated equally. We have equal rights and even our opportunities.

        As time passed by equality is not accorded to everyone. Because discrimination and inequality is now being done everywhere, even in school, public areas, home and many more. Just like women in the past decades. They experienced inequality and discrimination. Women stayed at their houses to take care of their children, do the household chores. Many of them are not allowed to study. They are just following their husbands. Men were the ones who find a job just to make their family survive.

        The true essence of equality and opportunity in the lives of people is not observed. There is a big gap between men and women. There are things that men are capable of doing while women can't. But these past years, women can now do almost anything. Even the gender equality is being treated similarly. There also a big wall between the rich and the poor.

        God created us equally. Let us face the world with equality to every people. All of us must ensure to provide equal rights and equal opportunities to anybody. All of us have a special rights. If we work hand in hand, we can assure that all rights and opportunities in this world will be equal. There is no poor and rich domination. Even a male or female. We can all attain peace, progress and development of the world. God created us one. We are all EQUAL!

You and I can Make a DIFFERENCE

        Everyone of us can make a difference. The effort maybe small or big but the most important thing is that we can make a difference in our own little way. God created us very unique and different with each other.

        Nothing is constant in this world except change. Let us try to reminisce all the things that we have done. All of them undergo changes. But they can't be changed. Just stand by the word or action that you have done and be responsible to face the differences.

        To make a difference is to start it with yourself. But making a difference is a difficult task or act. We are making little steps just to start. But our own efforts are counted and we can make it in a better way.

Climate Change

        "Climate change is real. The science is compelling, And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be solve."-John Kerry

        Climate change is significant nowadays. It has lasting change in the distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It maybe a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. It is also limited to a specific region or maybe experienced by the whole countries on earth. Climate change also increases in temperature and storm activity. It is regarded as a potential consequence of the greenhouse effect. The climate change in the past is not as hazardous as this days. It is also due to human activities. There are many effects of climate change. One is the continuous change in weather in different parts of the world. The thinning and continuous melting of ice sheets and glaciers have increased the sea level. Agriculture has also been affected. There is a decline in agricultural products which has affected many people. Global warning which is one of the effect of climate change posses threat even to human life.

        All these changes have been effects of the new technology. We should think twice of the dangers we can create. Let us try to work for the better future. Let us work hand in hand to enjoy our precious life to the fullest.

Reflection

Second Grading is now over, our ICT or Information  Communication Technology subject is focused on the tags that were used in the web. We only have few days for our lesson in our subjects because we had practiced for the Sabayang Pagbigkas. As a result  we are catching up with the section. At first, I don’t know  what lesson we will be taken and I don’t know how the tags were placed  in the web. But our teacher, discussed to us on how the tags where placed as well as their functions. I have learned how  to use the tags properly in the web. I hope that I will finish all  my exercises in our subject so I will learn another topic again in the next grading periods.

PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

Technology is one of most important thing in the life of every people. It plays an important role in our daily lives. It can help us in our task by doing multitasking. It can make our work easier and faster. By adding digital literacy, people can now communicate and work faster. Thus technology helps us in advancing our economic status. But there are still many advantages and disadvantages connected with this.

English is our universal language so  we can communicate to other people easily. By using this we can understand one another.  Everyone can communicate  with others by using computers, cellular phones, and etc. Everyone must know and be aware on how do they will use these gadgets in  the modern world. PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH ENGLISH PROFICIENCY is one of the best way. So let’s start as early as now..

“Chemergy, Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy.”

September is the science month celebration with the theme  “Chemergy, Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy.” Synergy is  working together for  two or more people, organizations, or things especially when the result is greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. They all need each other to perform all the responsibilities in order to attain their aim. Without one there would be something missing.

Science is the study of systematically organized body of knowledge about a particular subject. There are many branches of science, one of which is chemistry. Chemistry is a branch of science dealing with the structure, composition, properties and reactive characteristics of substances, especially at the atomic and molecular levels. Chemistry is used in our everyday life and it paves way in the production of  products that can be used by the people.

In every thing that it is related to science and chemistry, there must be unity  to fulfill expected  goals in life. This will  lead for the betterment of the society and the people as well.

My teacher, My hero

As time goes by, the first chapter of my life had been  concluded. I still remember  my teachers in grade school who taught me. They shared their precious time to teach me thus educating me . I am very thankful to them that I had the chance to meet them. They add a color to my life. As I go with the the next chapter of my life, my high school life;  I  had encountered  many distinguished teachers in this school.  Teachers we see everywhere,  do multitasking  all the way.  Thus  sacrifice their time to us. Every time we have our problems, they are always there beside us. Love they share to us is overflowing. They give us numerous pieces of advice  that we ponder on to guide  us as we go on  and to follow the right path in our life.. That for them is their role  to guide us in the correct way. Educators they are for us. Inspiration they shower us. Appreciations we have to show to repay their kindness that we know. Success is both our aim. For us to reach and conquer our dream. We may not become what we are now. If not for the teachers who work with awe. I thank you my dear teachers!.....

REFLECTION :)

How many days had  passed and  the first grading in my senior life is  over. ICT………………..Information and Communication Technology is one of my favorite subject. I had learned many things. I had known the timeline or history of the Internet.The development it had  undergone when the Internet was introduced.   And who were  the people behind the invention of the Internet. It was my first time also  to make a blog. I don’t have any idea about blogging. Blog is one of the online diary. I hope that I will learn other things other than blogging.

2nd SONA of our President

Our President gave his State of the Nation Address last July 25, 2011, Monday. The SONA is delivered every fourth Monday of July. It is one of the most waited  event in politics in which the President of the Philippines reports on the status of the nation. This is a duty of the President as stated in Article VII Section 23 of the 1987 Constitution: “The President shall address the congress at the opening of its regular session. He may also appear before it at any other time.”

The State of the Nation Address of our President was one of the highlights that many Filipino had witnessed.  His SONA depicts the present situation of our country and the changes that had been done during his reign. After the SONA of our President  many criticisms were heard from  fellow Filipinos . Our President used the Filipino language in his SONA.

Wind Beneath My Wings :)

People are born to be heroes. They come along as we go on in our life. They are the ones who fight for the betterment of our country. We all know that almost every hero is known for their contribution. Jose Rizal is one of the most known heroes. He gave us an example of the real qualities of a good hero. He is one of the most versatile heroes in the millennium.

I know of someone who possess a great quality. I can surely tell you that they are one of the most influential heroes for me. Through the years that I am here in this world. They are always beside me from the day that I was born. Great qualities are seen. Sacrifices they do, are much appreciated. Love that they have shown is irreplaceable and incomparable. For most of the time that I am with them. I am happy and proud. There are no like other people. Nobody can replace all their hardships and sacrifices. I am proud to tell you that my parents are my heroes. I know that they don't have super powers like Superman. But they have a power to make us become a better person. As they continue to mold us, pieces of advice are also complied with it.

The only way that I can replace their sacrifices is to study hard. To show that I love them.

Breastfeeding: best for babies

"Isulong ang breastifeeding, sa isipan isalin, para malusog si baby sa kanyang paglaki, kaya ikaw mommy, kumain ng healthy. You're on the right track mommy. Go,go lang for baby!." One of the few lines in our nutrijingle in the tune of Born this Way.                                                                                                          
Breastfeeding is the process of feeding a new born baby with milk directly from the breast milk of human females that provides  all the nutrients that a baby needs, as well as the substances that promote growth and help fight infection. Breast milk has the perfect combination of proteins, fats, vitamins, and carbohydrates. There is nothing better than breast milk for the health of a new born baby. As the infants immune system grows better, the concentration of antibodies and anti infection as the milk gradually declines. If the baby will have his/her milk from his mother, the infant will become stronger and  healthier. Colostrum is the first breast milk that the infant take from the mammary gland of a mother. It is also contains antibodies from the mothers immune system that will help the infant fight off infections and diseases. They said that it is a yellowish liquid, which contains less fat and lactose. What the mother will intake ,it is also the food that the infant will get. The breast milk has lots of nutritional value.

The mother wants her baby to be healthy because he is a gift given by God. She must secure the health of the baby. For him to grow strong and healthy. If a mother gives breast milk to her baby, more likely there is stronger bond between the mother and the baby.  The child is not prone to diseases    and has a stronger immune system. There is a possibility that the child will grow healthy. Breast milk is indeed the best for babies.                                                  

CHANGE is what we want

Dear Sir President,

               

               Greetings of Peace!

                

              How many months have passed since you were elected as our President. We your countrymen had many expectations on you. One of which are the projects that you will put up. We all know that our country’s economic status is decreasing. Everybody demand change. One of the problems faced by our parents is the continuous increase of tuition fee. Why don’t you do something to control the fee in schools? We don’t want that our country will be the last in terms of education. We know that you can bring our country higher. We thank you for starting changing our country. There are many issues that we’ve heard on the news, one of which is the K+12. 2 years have been added in the education. If students to start at SY: 2012-2013. How can you plan to add 2 more years in the basic education if we are faced with many problems in education?. Why not settle the problems first and prepare the plans before the initial stage? Some of these problems are the low income of teachers, lack of books and school buildings, lack of teachers and poor quality of education.

                

                There are many concerns we have now. One of which is the Reproductive Health Bill and the Divorce Bill. I don’t want to let the divorce bill be passed in our country. Having the Divorce bill have a great impact in the life of each child. We don’t want that our parents will have their divorce someday. Once that the divorce bill will be implemented I think many of the families will be destroyed. Many children may become a problem because of lack of proper guidance and moral support. From parents. The more that good values will be forgotten.

               

               I think Mr. President that you should think one thousand times before you implement something. You should think of the welfare of your fellowmen. I know that you can do something for us, the youth.

              

                 More powers!
