New Year, New Me

It’s out with the old and in with the new, goodbye 2011, hello 2012! Time had passed so fast. It’s like I didn’t notice a new year is coming through. And since it’s a new year again, every individual have some “new” gadgets, resolutions, clothes, shoes, toys, appliances, and etc. But what is the most important thing to change in your life?

                                In every year celebrating the “new year”, we come to create our resolutions for a better change. Resolution, from the word‘re’ means ‘again’ and ‘solution’ to solve. Resolutions are being created by every person to work on hard, to try not to do their bad habits anymore and to step to the next level; resolutions guide us to become a better person. Last 2010, I made my own resolution, I wrote it in a piece of paper and put it in my dresser, but it seems I haven’t done well my resolutions. Last year, I made my resolutions again, but this time I didn’t write it in a piece of paper anymore, instead I kept it in my mind and I have done well. I observed that it’s better to do it that to write it in a piece of paper without doing it. I can say that the “me” last 2011 was pretty good, I have changed a lot, I had a good trait and at least I stepped another level and I hope I can improve more about myself. This year 2012, I will do my best to improve and step more levels and when I reached the top of it, I can barely say that I achieved it.

                                Every individual change. Let us not judge persons with just because of their mistakes in the past. Instead, let us help one another change, to have a better relationship, to have a better communication, to have a better person. So, have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a better change!

Keep In Mind Our Mother Tongue

                         People all over the world have different languages. In the Philippines alone, we have more than 170 distinct dialects. And the most commonly used language is Tagalog. Why do we have to keep in mind our native language?

                        We use our language as our identity of what we are, who we are and where we came from. But did you know that Filipinos are the most numbered people who can speak different languages too? This is so because of overseas employment, our town mates, doesn’t forget their language and they are proud to be a Filipino. We learned our first language since birth or have been spoken from earliest childhood and still spoken. Even other countries are trying hard to learn and speak our native language. Foreign videos on YouTube had spread and it’s pretty cute to watch and hear them speaking and singing some of our famous poems and folk songs. It doesn’t matter how many language you know or how good you are in speaking, what matters most is how you treasure, care, love and can be proud of your mother tongue and what matters also is how you can stick to your dialect.

                        We must keep in mind our mother tongue. It is the skin of our personality, it is the identity of who we really are, no pretenders and be proud. Let us love, treasure and care our native language.

True Essence of Christmas

                Money, clothes, toys, appliances, bags, shoes, books, cups, cell phones, laptops and many more, these are some of the Christmas presents that we give to our love ones that makes them happy. But nothing’s happier if we know the true essence of Christmas, and that is love and peace.

                                May kids do believe in Santa Claus with twelve reindeers that flies and used to ride it from house to house to send gifts or presents to children who have been nice over the holiday and he slowly puts these under the mistletoe while they’re asleep. When I was a kid, I believed about Santa Claus and the be-nice-during-the-holiday thing and he will give your gift as a reward, but if you don’t try to be nice, you’ll get nothing. But now, I don’t believe anymore, it’s just that I’m tired of trying to be nice(sometimes it’s inevitable from doing bad) and believing for nothing, all of this is just a product of wild imagination. The true essence of Christmas is not the material things but love and peace. Come to think of it, there are so many children in the streets, even though they will receive a lots of gifts, foods, money, clothes and other things, still, having a family or love ones is different, the feeling of to have a true family bind together with love is the best gift that we could ever receive.

                                So, let’s give love on Christmas and make them feel your love and let peace reign in the world. Let every individual forgive and forget. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

Equal rights and opportunities? What about this? I really don’t know what’s the exact meaning of this but when I heard it, the first thing that came into  my mind is that rich or poor, strongor weak, young or adult, everybody in God’s eyes is equal.

                                We, people, living in this small world that God created us for a reason. We can’t just say that God created us to live and just after how many years, then die. No, that is not what life is. I know each of us live on a purpose. “We are nothing but humans” that’s why are created to become stewards to every other creatures of God and this is one of our responsibilities to do so. If we have to become stewards to other, then there must become stewards to us. To be able to have a peaceful world, everyone should be equally treated. We all have rights and responsibilities to respect and treat equally.

                                Let love, peace and equality reign. We are the key to equal rights and opportunities. Each of us can rejig these equalities, let us start treating each of individuals equally and have a PROGRESS FOR ALL.

Responding To Climate Change

              Winter, spring, summer or fall, we have four seasons in earth. But, is it still normal to have this weather or seasons immediately? I mean, later, it will rain then tomorrow it will be sunny, can’t you feel anything? We are now experiencing climate change! Yes my friend, climate change!

                                El Niño, El Niña, Hurricanes, Tidal Waves, Tsunami, Tornados, Landslides, Mudslides, Hailstorm, Snowstorm, and many more, these are the disastrous things that can kill us easily. Because of our evil doings like deforestation, throwing waste materials from the rivers and deadly dirty smokes from vehicles and factories, we are being killed slowly by mother earth’s dangerous power and revenge, we are abusing our nature and we all deserve this if we don’t stop our evil doings. So, can we respond to climate change? How can we make mother earth cleaner and greener? I believe that unity is the key to achieve something. Let us plant trees, throw waste in the garbage can and avoid in making deadly smokes. With these small things that we contribute can surely help our mother earth cleaner and greener. Our earth had been serving us well during these years and now had caused dissatisfaction among the people. In the desire for comfort, trees are cut down for shelter, drilling the earth for more oil and other minerals for transportation and more money and power central, poisoning our water for more catch inventing things that are destroy our earth for world supremacy. Do you realize that all these things would cause great damage to our earth?

                                Yes, so many things had happened. Let us not ignore these berserk things otherwise our world will go to total devastation. Can you allow this to happen to our beloved mother earth my dear friends? Act now for this is the right time for you to show and to prove how much you love the world as you have professed in your words. You and I composed this world’s populace so let’s work hand in hand to save this world from total destruction.

"Promoting Digital Literacy Through English Proficiency"

          English is a well-positioned to become the language spoken by all which would eliminate the harmful language barrier that separates countries and peoples. English is a universal language. English is very rich. So, why is there a need to promote digital literacy?
          Nowadays, we are using the computers, cellphones, ipads, laptops, and many more. These things we use are also for communication. We communicate through text, call and even online websites like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Myspace, Myyearbook, Skype, Friendster, Flixster and many more social sites that we can e-mail and chat everybody. English is a remarkable language. It is the native tongue of over 600 million people and is the largest speech community in the world except for Mandarin Chinese. As a second language, English is the most important choice. Ofcourse, most of us will get around the using only a fraction of the available words. Still, it is nice to know that they're there and it's quite nice to know the meanings of a lot of them. So, there is a need to promote digital literacy for better communication with other people around the world. to be able to enhance my knowledge, I must understand every new and dificult words. And also, I can and I know that I am enhancing my communicating skills because I was used to speak these difficult words by speaking.
          Therefore, I can barely say that promoting digital literacy is an important tool for people of many societies, allowing them to access information which may or might have otherwise been unavailable. It helps me to develop my attitude, develop muy skills in higher intellectual and critical operations, more complex comprehension and creative expressions; development of word attack skills through the comprehensive use of technology development strategies supplemented by explanatory notes for better understanding. It play as a role in our everyday life.

“Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Club in Synergy”

    Chemists, scientists, physicists, expertise and many more, they are the one who are connected in science industry. Science, for all we know, it is the branch of knowledge involving systematized observation and experimentation. Hence, an experiment has also chemicals. What are the things that are made up in the world of chemistry?

                Chemistry is a branch of science dealing with the elements and the compounds they form and the reaction they undergo. When we talk about experiments, inventions and discoveries, the first thing that comes into my mind is the word “chemistry.” Chemistry had spread everywhere, in Philippines, America, Australia, Europe, Africa and not only these countries but all over the world. This has many contributions like in the foods, medicines, drinks, things such as toys and etc., these has chemicals. Now let us know what the meaning of synergy is. Synergy means to help, to be together, group, company, and unity. We must have unity, to be able to provide with the means towards what is needed or sought in the future, discovering things, inventing and experimenting things, we must use things in their proper way.

                I can barely say that if we had a unity, we will be surviving. And we must teach young men and let them know the true meaning of knowledge. A child must be in pursuit of knowledge not knowledge in pursuit of a child.
