Equality, where are you?

          Man accepts and knows themselves or ourselves as the superior species of God's creations. With the fact that we are created of the same level of love and appreciation from Him. Blessings that were bestowed upon us are of equal chances, for God has planned our own life, the point of which we are capable to manage the most precious gift from God, which is "life."
          We consider ourselves more dominant than the other creations of God. We are more superior, intellectually but not in strength than the animals, and for that, we were given a mission. A mission to protect the environment, God has provided us.
          Sometimes, I doubt that people consider ourselves as superior species, when in fact, people try to kill each other, steals something, terrorizes but animals? No right? Some animals behave more decently than that of the crime-abjected people.
          For these days, all of us doesn't get all what we need and want. Because of maybe some interruptions or reasons that would prevent us from achieving our needs, wants and dreams. A reasonable, offensive and most of the issues today are: bullying,discrimination and such immoral acts.
          Discrimination has been overpowering to all of us. Which is not proper. This is not what people is created for! To hurt each other? To be acting so perfect? To be left alone? I mean, come on! Find your humanity and humility!
          Treat each other equally, support the anti-bullying act. I strictly empower, a no discrimination policy. We are all humans, I know that we all know that we have feelings. We all have our own rights. The right to live, love choose and so much more. But the competitive people  are always there to bring you down. Remember, they try to bring you down because you are above them and are envy of you. Don't be affected, they're just people. Be afraid of God, have faith in God, pray to him and he will help you.
          If only there is respect, mercy, trust and goodness, we all have equal rights which brings equal opportunities.

A Gradual Destruction

          So, what merely causes climate change? Well, there are variations or shifting in the process of solar radiation, variations in the Earth's orbit, mountain building and continental drift and change in greenhouse gas concentrations as said earlier (from the Science Encyclopedia Deluxe Edition.) Because of these, expect that there are feedback's.

          What thing in the world that does not undergo anything but change? Everything changes, except change, it's the only thing constant in this world. By change, things undergo with it to fit with the nature. Climate change is one of the natural and normal occurring changes in the environment.

          What is climate change by the way? Climate change, as its most general definition, is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time regardless of cause. For me, the term sometimes is used to refer specifically to climate change by human activity, as opposed in to changes in climate that may have resulted as part of Earth's natural processes. In this sense, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term climate change, I think, synonymous to global warming anthropologically. Global warming refers to surface temperature increase while climate change includes global warming and everything else that increases greenhouse gas level effects.

          The natural calamities of which we experience in our lives. it is gradually destroying our nature, not only that, we re suffering from it. For example, flash floods affects the crops, where could we find food if all of it is destroyed. Earthquakes, tsunamis, tidal waves, and heavier rains. This climate change is one of the most destructive natural calamity.

          What can we do to reduce the risk? We could at least reduce the use of materials contributing to all types of pollution, hazardous and noxious materials. The more the gas is present, the higher possibility of evaporation and precipitation.

          Let us conserve the uses of those that destroy the nature abjectly. Let us unite and preserve and rehabilitate the nature. The place where we live, the place we call home.

Like a plain mirror

          It's almost the end of the second grading period. Like a road will be temporarily closed because of a construction of a continuation. In this grading period in our Information Communication Technology (ICT), I have learned so many things. Our lessons went deeper about Internet, especially about the HTML. About the basic HTML tags, attribute tags to make a wonderful and unique web design for a web site. It would have been fun if I was inside in the room with quite a cold breeze the whole time. But then I went out everyday to have our practice for the speech choir that made me miss lots of our lessons. The problem I had was how to cope up with it. When the whole practicing and competition was over, then I got back on track. I was able to do all the exercises and understand all lessons as quickly as I could. I have recited more often this grading period though.
          Moving on, I will still improve myself. Much more in my literary skills and do more recitations in class and also improve my grades.
       
       

Proficiency for a delight communication

          In this text, may I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to those person who contributed something for the international, dominant and universal language, the English language. No doubt it was grotesquely a good way for us to communicate.

          The English language as we know was first spoken in England which is derived from the name of the angels, the Anglo-Saxons. then, it spread out like a news, so viral. The influence of it continues to play an important role in language attrition. One impact of it is the reduction of native linguistic diversity in many parts of the world.

          The English language is very important indeed. Within this, it is like a way for us to express ourselves. Communicating with our own ideas and feelings using sounds, gestures, signs or marks. Any means of communicating idea specially human speech.

          English language is one tool to establish our viewpoint. We can make use of English to promote our worldview and spiritual heritage throughout the globe.

          But generally, standard English today does not depend on accent but rather on shared educational experience. through education, the use of English language can be enriched. Going deeper to understand and formulate better grammars, knowing such new words. Even now, in some profession like jobs, knowledge of the English language is needed. Expanding our knowledge with the English language, I predict a better and more organized form of communication.

          The use of English language somewhat links the whole world together. The future of English as a language is very secure. In this era of consolidation and trying to unify various aspects of life, it will not be long before English can be made as a single language of the world like the single currency and the union of various nations.

          The English language is highly essential to us, with enough proficiency, there is a worthy and meaningful communicative competence.

Do it while you can

          Going back to the past, energy has been used, even now. The sun was the most powerful and basic source of energy. Giving life support to plants including animals and humans. The time where they used caves as their houses and fire as their light. As time passed by, lots of things happened. Discoveries of such new things. and because, Change is the only thing constant in this world, no wonder. Science then, played this role. The devastating economic status lead such great minds to find out a solution for these problems. Through science, electricity was discovered.
          Electricity use has been spread out worldwide. The idea of which electricity functions was like a virus. The most common of it are: used to start or used for appliance to function, to supply light, to store foods, to cook and such more other uses. This has proven ho intellectual a man can be. Electricity was also used to light buildings that complemented with the sparkling night sky. The synchronization of water fountains, elevators and escalators. We now even have electric vehicles which is believed to decrease pollution of air.
          But too much is bad. We need to conserve. We don't know if soon, electricity will be out or will not be available. While there is time let us conserve or this problem will become recalcitrant to consumers like me. Let us reduce the use of energy. We may not know if what the future generation will have.
          We must conserve energy. Energy conservation refers to the efforts made to reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved through increased efficient energy used, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption from conventional energy sources.
          Consumers are often poorly informed of the saving of energy efficient products. The use of too much technology somewhat needs to be able to change such behavioral patterns.It can do this by allowing energy users to see the impact their energy use can have in their workplace or homes.
          Let us conserve energy!
       

My Teacher, My Hero

          Ever since I was 5 years old, my parents has been sending me to school with their hope that I will become a wise and a successful man in the future.

          Education was the thing they thought as guide to make my dreams come true. Education is not only learning, it is the exercise and development of the powers of the mind; and the two great methods by which this end may be accomplished are in the halls of learning or in the conflicts about life. Education is a debt due from the present to the future generations.

          In order to make education easier and understandable, we have our "Teachers," to explain to us each lessons and will be with us throughout our journey as a student.

          Our teachers are very important, I couldn't even write this if it wasn't for them. They are sacrificing a lot of their time for us to learn. To learn wonderful and unique things and ways in expressing ourselves. Our teachers are one of the real heroes. 

          Not all heroes can fly, have super strengths, super powers or even run fast, but as long as they have the characteristics known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards. And that's what teachers do.

          Our teachers, spend their time more with us rather than being with their family, in fact, teachers have been treating their students as their second family. Some even force their selves to stay up late at night just to show something to their students.

          I want to thank all of the teachers for giving us light to our lives. Feeding us wonderful wisdom, letting us chew and digest their ultimate advise.Thank you for doing your best to teach us what would be best for us, to lead us to the right path.

          The teachers should be held in the highest honor. They are allies of legislators; they have agency for protecting us; whose incessant action and pressure cause the life-blood to circulate, to return pure and healthful to the heart of the nation. The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge in the power of teaching.

The Reality from our Fantasies

          When I was a kid, I was told stories and even watched movies. One of this is the existence of superheroes like: Superman, Batman, Spiderman and others. I admired them so much that I impersonated them in my own way, they have super powers, who wouldn't want to have one? I was always having them in my dreams and dreamed that I was one of them too. Dreamed that I could save the world someday and promote peace and goodness around the world.
          Now that I have grown up, it was then and now, I finally knew that those superheroes that we are so into these days, doesn't really exist. They were just our fantasies or imaginations. I was just living a lie! Instead, a true heroes not on what super powers they have, not the gadgets, the suit nor the armors but it's what is in ones heart and mind. It is in ones heart and mind to help his or her fellow youth.
          The true hero, I consider it my modern hero. She helped me in my everyday life. When I was still little, she took care of me. She was always by my side, until now. As if she was my shadow, in the broad daylight. She gives me advice in everything that I do. She sends me to school everyday, and covers up some of my expenses. She always makes me happy. She had always comforted me when I had problems, it started from the day that my parents got divorced. She was the one who helped. I was still a kid, I didn't know what to do. She tries to explain to me everything, that love may not last forever. They hid it from me that I started to cry.
          The truth hurts, but you can never hide your secrets forever. Everything will be revealed. After knowing everything else, I came out of the blue, I got back on my own feet with my hero's help and to my parents as well. I want to thank them a lot, because of them, I grew a lot stronger since that day. I promised to my parents that I will be, must be and shall be a better parent to my children, if not better, the best of the best.
          Well, that was the story of a new hero, my aunt, a real hero, aside from my parents, teacher and God. Her name is Evelyn Asistin. She may not have super powers but she has the potential to be a modern hero. A whole-hearted person, you can never, never, never... take away her generosity and sincerity to help a person such as me. God is good, He gave her to me, because of that, Thank you God!

Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino

          President Manuel L. Quezon was the one who declared that August shall be the month of the Philippine language, while President Fidel V. Ramos signed the petition what President Quezon suggested or stated.
          Years passed and every year, we celebrate the month of Philippine language and a theme is made for each year. This year, the theme is "Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino." This language was one of their plans to have communication among us, to have unity as well. We Pilipinos were once colonized by other countries but when we finally took freedom from them, politically, these language we have now made us to unite, and to share our instincts or even our insights to each other.
          In our school, every August, we celebrate the Filipino language with competition. One of this is: quiz bee, which all about grammar and literature. Another is the Balagtasan, it's like a role play but this one, they will speak  for their right as an individual. And one of the most exciting is the speech choir.
          Those were only some, we will first compete at school, and then the winner may proceed to the Division, then to Regionals, then maybe Nationals.
          Imagine what our lives could be if we have no language. No understanding, no cooperation, no storng foundation. If we have misunderstandings, we might fight with each other and turn out to have a war rather than a ceasefire.
          Back from the time of Rizal, form the time we were colonized by the Spaniards. He used language to solve the problem. Heroes and heroins tried their best to stand up against them. Since then, when we finally got our triumph, the Wikang Filipino was then established. Established for the next generation, to have better understanding. We shall stand as one, together we fight and face our fears and challenges in life. As long as we have each other, there wouldn't be a problem.

My Reflection

          Within two months since I have started blogging, is that I learned how to be more like a "perfectionist," I guess? In line with my posts.The grammars, spellings and punctuation marks. I discovered that blogging is so much fun and it is not a distraction in my life, not at all, thanks to my teacher in Information Communication Technology (ICT), Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz. I did my blog mostly at school, in the computer lab. Staying there makes me feel better because of the cold and relaxing breeze of the air-conditioner. I experienced what life has to offer, reading news from around the world, learning from others' experiences, updated to some of the happenings around the globe.
          Some problems and the main problem to me while blogging is that the Internet is kinda' slow. Nothing else bothered me that much.
          I addressed this problem by just going with the flow. I worked some of my posts at home because of this matter.
         Moving on, I will improve myself in everything. I will expose myself more. I will post more, about myself, experiences, about the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious nature, and my fellow youth.

Insights about SONA 2012

                The State of the Nations Address or the SONA is deliberated annually by the President. This SONA includes the improvement plan of the President for the country.

                This year, the SONA was delivered on July 23, 2012 by President Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III, with the title of “Report Kay Boss,” at the Session Hall, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City.

                The SONA is concentrated to like most of the country’s conditions and problems, to act for further improvement, to reach the road of prosperity and success. Started from the time that Philippines has finally stolen our freedom from the Spaniards, Americans and to other countries that ruled Philippines. SONA is then stated for the chance to attain progress. What could be better than that? I mean, who wouldn’t want or like to stay and live in a progressive country.

                I noticed that our country, for me, is not that quite progressive, why? Corruption, lots of people are suffering from health problems as well as financial, some doesn’t have enough money in their hands to buy their own needs. We also suffer from calamities: landslides, floods and others due to some peoples’ unawareness. Fires that has destroyed lots of properties. Murders, car napping, kidnapping, cases of raping, stealing and such other crimes that happens anytime, anywhere and unexpected. There are lots of ordinances but some people don’t want to obey these laws made by the government. These are for our own safety.

                The SONA then is one way of informing our country to wake up ourselves to see the consequences to act for it. Loose our shoulders and extend our helps to one another.

                A real progressive country is united, hand in hand together, where all of us think not for our own good only but sincere to others too. Showing that we care for our country, that leads to launches of projects, conduction of alternative learning programs, seminars, workshops, symposiums, and training programs so that we may do at least something for the improvement of our country. All we need is a scoop of cooperation with a glimpse of trust, patience, virtue, realism, loyalty, dissemination and more. You may not know what is beyond those negatives. Act now! Time is Gold!

The Month of July

           July, known to be the month of nutrition, we annually celebrate it. The theme for this year is "Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw itong Ihain." This means that eating veggies make it a habit, everyday serve it.

          Eating vegetables are important because this supplies our daily nutrient needs, vitamins and minerals for us to become strong and healthy and provide us resistance to sickness. It's also important to choose the right vegetable for you that could fit to increase your appetite and you find it interesting and delicious for you. These vegetables are good over-the-counter product for some types of sickness. Minimizing what you feel that seems wrong or not right. It will help us to lose weight, provides antibiotics to help boost immunity, reduce inflammations and fight infection to put yourself to the best health condition.

          Some people doesn't like vegetables, would they hurt you? Eat you? Kill you? No right? There's nothing to be afraid of if you try them because it will benefit you something. To lift your health status. Vegetables have a big role to our lives. It's up to you, I will not force you but I'm just reminding you. For best of health, accompany it with proper diet and exercise! :)

Letter to President

To our dearest, workaholic President,

          

          A pleasant day to you!

          You are known as the father of this nation and I know that it is hard in your part that all people in the Philippines depend on you. Comparing your place in the our family, it is hard on the part of our parents just to give us what we need and you, millions of people need your hands to guide them for the good.

          I wish that you will continue doing good things in our nation. Indulge us with your programs. Never give up on helping us. Show how important the youth are for you. We expect you to be honest all the time, be true to yourself so that you will not regret anything.

         A simple and short message for you. May this message serve as an inspiration for you. In the best way, rule the nation. May the creator guide you on your journey as the President of the Philippines.

                                                                                                                                                Yours Truly,

                                                                                                                                               Ralph Justine
