MY TEACHER: You are my HERO

"The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called Truth."

- Dan Rather

Teaching is really a noble profession. Teachers are the one who are liable in feeding the empty minds of students. Just think of it, without teachers, our world would be a desert. No building, no streets, no structures. So the engineers and architectures did their paramount shot just to give us a refuge.  Our world would be a home of criminals without those policemen and military forces who undertook synergy and taught us what security is. Our world would be full of viruses and bacteria without doctors who treat us well when we are having our illnesses. You see? There are a lot of things that a teacher can do. They are what we call “the armies of education”. You can never tell when a teacher's influence would be put to a halt.

Literally, we define a teacher as a person who edifies students in a school. But, don’t you know that our teachers can be our heroes too? Yes, they are! As I've said before that a hero is someone who is admired for his/her courage and has golden heart. And our teachers deserve that title. They are also our second parents. We usually call them “sir” or “ma’am” and can always find them on our school. They also teach us the things we don’t know and sacrificed their time just to feed us the knowledge we  must learn which serves as our path to our journey towards success. They are always on our sides to guide us whenever we have a problem.

To all the teachers out there, thank you very much and I salute you!

Take Actions Today for Tomorrow’s Paradise

         

            
            The environment is our nature. Nature plays a vital role in our daily lives. It is where we are getting our needs and depending on for survival. Everything around us such as food, water, shelter and environment are provided by nature. It is also our greatest medicine for illnesses.

            Nowadays, we, people in the present have almost forgotten our responsibility for Mother Earth, our responsibility to maintain biodiversity. For others, it is easy for them to disregard our nature because they think that even if they are disregarding it, nature however will continue providing them their needs but they didn’t know that it vanishes bit by bit. Maybe the other reason is because of technology and industry. Technology and industry became more palpable to us resulting to a so far-off atmosphere from a normal environment. We can’t alter the fact that we still have reliance on the environmental world and all the things we are using and consuming are from it even if we are blinded by the modernization which is distant away from the nature.

            On the other hand, what if one day, our natural environment will vanish? What will happen to us?

            There are many unbridled catastrophes that are happening these days as we saw in the small screen, newspapers, or may have heard from the radio which greatly destroy our world and may affect our lives as well. We all know that we are on the “Pacific Ring of Fire” which means that our country is prone to natural phenomena. Floods, breaking down of rocks, landslides, mudflows, earthquake and volcanic eruption can cause casualties and extensive damages.

            You see? There are many worst effects which have great impact to the environment. We used to say this line “Save the Earth!” but are we doing actions or just let those words be blown away by the wind? As a science clubbers, it is our responsibility to protect, preserve, improve our nature and do some actions. To be able for us to open the door to a brilliant future, we must nourish and nurture the nature and we must joined arm together for one mission – the mission to bring science youth and make Mother Earth alive. We must help each other and save the nature, even in simply planting tree today, we may not know that it might become a forest someday. Let us protect the environment and it will defeat and shield us from catastrophes.

Super Fely: The Incredible Woman

          Heroes. I expect that by now you are able to discern who they are and what they do. But if you don’t, do not be bothered for the reason that I am gonna tell it to you. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Thor, Cat Woman Iron Man, Hulk and others are some of the most famous heroes all over the world.  You know them, right? They are what we called super heroes. What do they have to be truly called as a hero? Well, they are all fictional characters. They can fly, run fast, strong and have super powers. But the true is they are only the result of our wild imaginations. They don’t really exist.

But if you want to see a real life hero, there is no problem. Just visit me at our domicile and you are going to see her, face to face and alive.

          The definition of a true hero for me is he/she is a person admired for his/her incomparable guts or actions. By means of the innovation of the world right now, an additional consignment of heroes are being added but as for me, the hero or heroine that I actually like and venerate does not have any special powers. Who is she? Of Course, my one and only mother, Fely. She’s the only one hero that stands out for me. She’s my hero because she never leaves me in times of problems and challenges and always cheers me up. I remember the time when I am making my school requirements. I don’t know that she is still awake even if it is late night already. At that time, I was touched because I realized that she’d done that because she loves me so much even if she’s already tired doing the household chores. She wants to make sure that we’re secured and safe. She also helps me in making my projects all the time. Even though she doesn’t know the concept that I am going to make, she is still there trying to help me. She gives me unconditional and immeasurable love. She’s always there whenever I need guidance in making decisions. She’s always there to my every need in a blink of an eye without depending on a go signal. Does Wonder woman can do all the things that my hero does? No, it is not. You can’t ever find a woman like her. My mother is incomparable. She is beyond those superheroes’ abilities.  

          To my MOM, Thank you for all the things and I am really sorry for all the terrible things I’ve done to you. I love you very much, MOM! <3. You are my life and the greatest woman of all, Mom.

Filipino language: Must Relish...

         This August is the month wherein we are celebrating the "Buwan ng Wika" with the theme "Wika Natin ang Daang Matuwid".

         What is the real value of our Filipino language? Do we really appreciate or love our own language? What we are now if we don't know/have our own language or native language?

          We all know that each country has its own language. Language serves as a bridge for us to understand each other. It is also a way for us to tell our opinions or tenet. It is the reason why communication is possible. Our language is crucial for the development of our country because it helps us to explain the things we want to express.

          Our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal once said, " Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, daig pa ang amoy ng malansang isda", wherein he epitomizes that we should admire and prioritize the use of our national language,Filipino.I agree on what he had said because it is the duty of every Filipino to love and use their respective mother tongue which guides us in our day-to-day living. Our own language is the one which will lead us to go through the right path. The Filipino language is the answer to our questions. God gave us our own language so that we, Filipinos, will unite toward the betterment of all. We must always bear in mind that using your own language is favorable and must be done. The reconstruction of the Filipino language depends on us, Filipinos, to bring strength of being a Filipino. Using our own language will largely contribute towards the maturity our country, Philippines

R.e.f.l.e.c.t.i.o.n.

         When I first heard and thought about our subject TLE ICT IV, the very first thing that came into my mind is that it would so challenging for me to learn the lesson? I also asked myself if I will be able to go with the flow.
          Why? It is because I heard form the students last school year that it will focus a lot on photo editing and blogging. I don't have the interest when it comes to matters like this because for me I Think I only have a few ideas about this kind of activity. Although we were already introduced to concepts of blogging when we are still on the third year using Wordpress.com. But later, I had developed my desire for it. I am still posting posts on my blog. I really enjoy blogging because it is a one way for me how to express my insights on a certain issue.
           And as school days gone by, after we had tackled its history, definitions, disadvantages and advantages blogging can provide, in just a blink of an eye I feel that I'm starting to love in posting blogs.
           So far, so good, there are still no challenges that I have encountered with our subject this first quarter because were still in the beginning or basics and I know that Mrs. Vera Cruz, our teacher, is always there to teach us everything she could just to feed our young minds with ideas that will help us create a better outlook.
            The best thing I have learned in this subject is that, it is not only about achieving very high grades instead it is the knowledge and the experiences that you are having which you can apply into your daily living.
            Moving on, I will strive harder in our ICT subject but not to acquire higher grades, instead, in order to develop my skills. I will be more serious on my studies so that I would not create again the same mistakes that would cause to failure. I will surely do my best to reach my dreams in life and to be successful in the future.

First things first!

     

   
  In the 4^th State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Simeon “ Noynoy” Aquino III , he mentioned again his promise “daang matuwid" tungo sa pag-asenso ng Pilipinas.

          He started his speech few minutes before four o’clock in the afternoon last July 22, 2013 at the Plenary Hall, House of Representatives or more commonly known as Batasang Pambansa, Quezon City. His speech was long and full of data. He started his SONA by acknowledging the support provided by the people in his administration, including the winning of the nine senators whom he campaigned last May 2013 election.

          He said, the continuous increase of “ allies that will paddle in one or single direction” will help for the continuation of its objectives for the government. PNOY mentioned in his SONA about the projects/achievements of his administration in the past year. This includes the increasing of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) rate from 6.8% in 2012 to 7.8% in the first quarter of 2013, increase in the employment rate of those who graduated in TESDA, the escalation of those who are benefited in Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Project, the implementation of K to 12 education system that aims to raise the quality of education, lowering of the level of rice importation, the expansion of the Z Benefit package of PhilHealth, the advancement of Project Noah and many more.

           As a summary, the president talked about his so much wanted change of old governance that dealt with the abuse of authorities caused by dominant public officials and employees. He wanted a straight path walk of life for every Filipino.     But honestly, I can say that PNOY was very boastful in his SONA not because I don't like him but he presented all of his accomplishments although some are not that really true.One of the reasons is that some people are still launching rallies against him because according to them, he has not yeat fulfilled all of his sweet promises.

        The SONA is now implanted to our minds and could never be erased, not the words but the things we experienced through the past year. We still hope for the change he promise. We need our Boss.

Hunger and Malnutrition, Let Us End It Together!

   

   

            Food is the basic need of man. It is the prerequisite to sustain life and maintain good health. In general, all organisms need food. However, man being the superior of all organism needs complex kind of food.          

           Nutrition Month is the annual campaign held every July to create greater awareness on nutrition among Filipinos (Presidential Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines. The National Nutrition Council(NCC) coordinates the nationwide celebration including the identification of an annual theme to focus on a priority nutrition concern.

           The 39th Nutrition Month celebration focuses on hunger with the theme "Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan! the theme underscores the need for active multi-stakeholder participation to address the basic causes of hunger. The objectives of this year's celebration are to: a.) increase awareness on hunger issues and actions to mitigate hunger and malnutrition; b.) encourage stakeholders to contribute to addressing hunger issues; and c) advocate for stronger political action to end hunger.

           Hunger is a condition in which people do not get enough food to provide the nutrients for fully productive, active and healthy lives. Prolonged hunger can lead to malnutrition and even death. Hunger is a form of food insecurity. There is no hunger when there is food security or when 'all people, at all times, have physical,social and economic success to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

           The NNC Technical Committee has approved the focus of this year's Nutrition Month to focus on hunger. The reasons why they've decided it because, first, hunger is one of the worst forms of deprivation particularly because people do not enjoy their basic fundamental right - the right of food. second, there is also the need to fast track actions to reduce hunger to meet the first Millennium Development Goal on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. Third, hunger incidence in the Philippines has worsened in recent years affecting more Filipino families. And fourth, addressing hunger contributes to national growth and development.
