What can you observe from this days. Can you see that the weather changes so quickly, and it affect the life of many people. Climate change is something that you hear about almost everywhere you go.  Most people understand the general concept of what climate change is but many do not know what the long term consequences are. Global warming is causing the planets temperature to rise steadily.  As the temperature rises, the ice on the earth begins to melt and this in turn raises the sea level.  This can cause devastating things in the future and it is up to us to help slow this process. There is not a way to stop this entirely, but there are many ways consumers can help make this process happen slower than what is currently is now.  We are wasting so many resources that we are constantly polluting our environment.  Something as simple as changing to energy saving light bulbs in the home can help combat this major problem. If you are going somewhere and can walk or carpool instead of driving your car, this is another great way to contribute to the solution.  Hybrid cars are gaining popularity and interest by many consumers. There are many models on the market now and more choices than ever for all tastes and budgets. If we do nothing global warming will affect us sooner than we think.  Some cities that are currently below sea level may be overwhelmingly flooded causing many national tragedies around the world.  Although we can never completely stop climate change, it is up to us to give the next generation the tools needed to slow down the process.

Buneng and The Taximan’s Story

Buneng and The Taximan’s Story are only some of the best short stories of the world that every reader must have to witness. Both stories portray the true meaning of life and on how we will be going to spend the rest of it.

The two stories talk about how the two fathers from different scenarios were able to influence the decisions of their children. Furthermore, the stories also explained the two ways on how to discipline your child despite of some conflicts that might arouse.

On the other hand, the two fathers aimed to give a bright future for their siblings, because parents knows best – they really know what is good from what is bad for the betterment of the family.

Another similarity, the stories also showed how much teenagers nowadays were able to adopt the ambiance of the modern world. It was a great proof that children became so weak, spoiled, and self-centered.

There are also scenes in the stories wherein it depicts the importance of trust. It shows how much people tried to take it for granted and how this trust was so difficult to regain.

We don’t even try to understand our parents because we all know, everything that we do are right. Sometimes we don’t even think how much every moment was too precious. Decision dominates all the things that we do and that were the main point of the two stories. Both of those stories, aimed to touch the hearts of some children, not just only children but also to all people how much advises and restrictions were so very important.

Comparative Analysis

Buneng and The Taximan’s Story

If there are things that are similar, there are also some points that things tends to be different. One of the differences in the two stories is that, Buneng was written by an Ilocano writer while The Taximan’s Story was written by a Singaporean writer. Andres was the one narrating the story whereas on the other one, it was the taximan.

The two stories focused on the different on how a parent disciplined his sibling. Andres’ father has done indirect value to his son which Andres were not able to feel that treatment. On the other scenario, the taximan let her daughter do what she wants because he believes that his daughter will do well if he will going to let her free.

Andres’ father set some restrictions to his son so that for the future he will learn more about life, that life was so very difficult. Whereas the taximan have given her daughter a chance to explore the world, because he believe that for the future she will going to use it.

The taximan’s daughter did everything she wants; until such time that she couldn’t even see her limitations. In contrast, Andres obeyed his father; he did everything so that he will not be disappointed. 

Another difference, Andres’ father gave affection yet the test was tough while the taximan have given direct asperity, yet his daughter has learned something.

“The Road Not Taken”

By: ROBERT FROST

“Sometimes the wrong choices will bring us to the right place” – a very nice quote from a very inspirational author. In some cases it would be true but not at all times. We always keep on putting into our minds that when see things right it seems like it will direct us to a better future.

We have reached some points in our life that we need to choose from any of the choices. It would be so difficult for us to make some further decisions; it’s because of some factors. We feel so bad because we think our decisions might not be so good enough at the end. That’s how rational a certain person is.

In the poem the “The Road Not Taken,” many people would see it as a good example of an inspirational piece that all of us can relate. The only thing I want to say about this poem is that, it was just like I’m the person who is talking in the poem.

I have been through to different kinds of challenges in my life that I couldn’t even realize how much I would able to pass through those narrow yet so wide streets all throughout my journey. We want to be like someone else for the future, we want to succeed in life, setting ambitions, putting things together so that we may not regret when time comes. That’s how we see ourselves.

We can do two things at the same but we cannot simultaneously pass through two roads at the same time. Hypothetically, we cannot go through two priorities at the same time, you need to choose based on your strength.

Sometimes we feel that both of those priorities were actually similar. We tend to think that if we could even do it together, but it might be so impossible.  There comes a time that you really need to choose, and you have chosen the one where there’s no other person who have ever tried it because we want to be extraordinary.

During the journey, we tend to regret from our decisions, we feel so weak and broken and thought of choosing the other track. But until such time, we get used to it, that we love what we do from the chosen priority. God has a plan for us, because he was there when we have chosen it. 

what's new

I'm walking through the bridge in a one cold night. I didn't mind how the wind blows quickly. I mind the birds rushing to their nest. I'm wondering the past how did he brought me here. To those things that I wouldn't expect to come in an instant.

"New Year, a New Life", It was a very old quote. Yes, sometimes its true, but it was too old to hear that.

"Days come by, every year would take, life goes short so don't waste any part of it," It was short and so meaningful.it depicts something that any of us would understand.

Christmas: Love,...Faith

This month, I heard three different people talk about December, they all said the same thing:, oh my “its December, an expensive month”. This caught my attention, why is it that people are talking about an expensive month instead of being happy that it is almost Christmas. We give each other presents but do we really know the essence of Christmas?. Jesus himself said, “love thy neighbor as thyself”.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus & reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love & the vision of a God who is full of compassion & forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive mindset & from a place of love.

In today’s day and time, it is easy to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. Enjoy the delicious meals, sweet drinks, lovely songs & dances, beautiful friends & family members we would come across this season, let’s try not to forget about the child, born on a winter night so cold, whose bed was made only of hay & animal food; our lord Jesus Christ, who taught us all what real, genuine & unconditional love is. As we celebrate the birth of our savior, let’s be human & kind enough to remember & show some love to those motherless babies, helpless orphans, hospital patients, prisoners, beggars & all those who are not fortunate enough to be actively involved in the celebration of the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Lets be Equal~!

Men and women are made because of a mission. A mission to live and be happy to the fullest. When those men abuse women? Yes, there are a lot of circumstances. We can't enumerate all of them.

As we goes by to our lives, it makes get even better, but as we go on, we can encounter some issues that affects the right of every woman to their man. We can see some news that man really abuse woman and that is so disgusting. 

In the past decades ago, we can see that man or boys are so powerful. They serve as the leaders from the very old times. They are said to be emperors, king, prince, sheikh, and a lot more. their power can hold every one's life. They have slaves which women are counted for. they are used for happiness, comfort, and any other unwanted things.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

Another challenge, another life.

As I look back over the past few months of my senior year, I have to say that I am pleased and impressed with myself! After the First Quarter, here comes the very challenging Second Quarter. Unto the lessons that I have touched during this quarter in my ICT subject, I know that I gain something different.

I learn more about Web. I learn more how to make things that I haven't done from the rest of my life-that is all about HTML. In this quarter I learned how to make some HTML files. From the most basic, we learned more about different tags that is used to make an HTML file. After some practices made, we constantly make HTML files using tags. It was so fun, you know the feeling that you made something so interesting, that   it made you feel happy.

In line with the projects that we made in this subject, we also encounter some problems that really challenged us to be more strong. Our project is like an Exploration Research in a particular topic regarding Vigan City.
in this project we found out that Vigan city was so rich with Ancestral Arts that many people don't know yet. Our topic category is all about ARTS AND CULTURE in Vigan City regarding those Fine Arts and design that was made in this place. Even though it was so tough, we consider it with my group mates that as a very interesting one.

I must study more so that I could be able to pass with this incredible challenge-my High School life. And I will say to myself that I can do this.

English: How important it is??

What is this English Proficiency all about? What is this Communicative Competence all about? Upholding English Proficiency through Communicative Competence. I will share to you some important manner regarding this matter.

In the earlier times, Filipinos from the Spanish colonization practiced on how they can use English (American Language) proficiently. When the Americans set our Freedom from the Spanish, they formulated a very good solution to this problem.

Until at the present, we are still continuing ourselves to be familiarize to use this English language in order for us not to be so ignorant in using this.

If we are proficient in this language, it will be easier for us to communicate with other people all over the world because this language is known as the “universal language”. Not only that, if you are proficient in speaking English, you are also good in grammar, in writing some articles and stories you want to write. You can also express yourself easily; you can express your emotions to other people. And also you can easily make some conversations to other people because they can also speak with this language. In some conversations, the information content may seem very slight because the speaker's main purpose is to convey a message such as ‘I want to be sociable with you’.

Communicative competence lets us know when to speak and when not to speak, how to take turns in conversations and how to start and end them, and how to involve and exclude people. We also know how to listen. This is what communicative competence all about. We should practice these things, so that it will be able for us to make sure that we are confident in using our communicative skills easily.
