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.

Comparative Analysis And Reflections
Comparative Analysis
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.
Reflection
“The Road Not Taken”
“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.

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.

Save Earth from the needle of Death
Our planet is considered as one of the most unique planets all over the universe. We are blessed that we have given the chance to live in this place where we can say as one of the best gifts of God on us. Let's not blame anybody else if God will withdraw all this things that he have shared with us. We cannot dictate God if when will he collect the things that he own.This was very big challenge on us. What will you do change this things to happen in the future?
Our world is now lacking from it's natural and energetic resources. This was because of the unpracticed people who are abusing the mother nature. Being a person, what will you do to ensure that the earth will live longer as it is? What will you do to keep the earth for the next generation?
One very simple way to save energy is to turn electronic items off when they are not in use. This includes turning lights off when leaving a room. For occasions when less light is needed, consider getting lamps with light dimmers or installing dimmers in built-in light fixtures. As computers and computer accessories become increasingly common, these devices have also become a greater source of energy consumption and waste. Remember to turn computers and other devices off when they are not in use. Activating the computer's sleep mode feature can also help to reduce the amount of energy that the computer consumes while in that mode.
Although it still saves significant amounts of energy, powering off electronic devices and appliances does not completely eliminate energy waste. Many people are unaware that even when these devices are powered off, small amounts of energy will still be consumed as long as the device remains plugged into the power socket. The only surefire way to ensure maximum power savings is to unplug devices directly from the sockets.
Those still uncertain about the exact ways they can save energy in their home should consider investing in a home energy assessment. Home energy assessment professionals can pinpoint precise places in the home that pose problems, as well as various ways to address them. A home energy assessment can also provide information on the amount of savings that specific energy-efficient upgrades can provide over time. Energy assessments are also available for businesses. This way, people can continue to help save energy and the planet while at home and at work.
If we will hand-in-hand to face this big problem of our nature, there will be a possibility that we will save the Earth from it's dangerous result.

INSTRUMENTS TO SUCCESS
Many people say that a teaching is the noblest profession. Why I say it so? there are no lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses accountants if there are no teachers. It was just like a world with no use. This world is so meaningless.........
How a teacher face his own personal life not only his /her
very important work which is teaching? We all know that a teachers teach their
children to be able to write, to count, to read, to understand things which are
very complicated in their own view, they teaches how to analyze things and to
criticize some of them, they also teaches how to engulf some difficult
problems, and telling to their children that life is full of happiness and
challenges, they also give some activities and projects to their students to be
able to enhance their creativity and self confident, they also explain some
difficult information that the student wants to know, they also give some homework’s
to their students to practice and to get ready to the continuation of their
lesson, they are also willing to give a remedial class if possible when their
students experience difficulty in understanding to their lessons . In their
everyday life they always think of the topics and lessons that will be able to
teach for the day. They made these topics easier to understand to be able for this
student to absorb every part of it.
Teaching is not only their work on school they also make
students be good abiding citizens of our very own nation. They also make sure
that in every time they go to school; they make sure that their students should
think positive and to face their unfinished works leisurely.
When they go home, they still continue their wok in their
home. They continue checking some passed activities and projects and recording
them to their class records. In their home they also compute some of the grades
of their students.
Teachers also continue to learn more of the things that they
don’t know.

Without her, My life would be IMPOSSIBLE!
In our everyday lives, we consider every part of it as a very important thing that was given to us by God as a big mission that we will accomplish.
More than about fifteen years of existence, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes in felt that every time I move, I breath, there's someone here in the world that really makes a big role to every someones life. Without this people maybe you will not have to succeed in life, or maybe without them you will not have to live here in this world. maybe this person makes your life very interesting because of his or her wonderful treats.
Without them, we cannot say that this world won't be so complete. As we saw them day by day, we can say that they are the people which makes me so happy.
The one that I am talking about is my mother. Yes, maybe you love your mother. I know that. Why i say it so? It was not just all loving mother but because you feel the essence that your mother is there for you to help you in times challenges, gives you some suitable advises which can make you feel better to those problems you really know that you cannot do them. They also make you feel better, when you came to a world of sadness. They can say to you, "it's just OK anak".
If I will compare my mother to one of my organs, I would compare her to my heart. Why i say it so? We all know that heart is one of the most important organs in our body. If this heart will disappear, your life will stop working and your life will loose one of it's function, or simply to die. That is what important my mother is. If my mother will disappear my life would be impossible. I consider her as one of the best gift of God from me.I love my mother so much.
We have big missions and big challenges in life, and with this things, we cannot do them without those people that we consider as one of the people that can help us to this challenges.

FILIPINO LANGUAGE: A Pride to Any other Filipinos
This shows that Filipinos are full of strength to say to other people, "I can do this".
Being a person in this world has a very distinct language or a dialect that is using that will make every individual understand each other.
Tagalog or Filipino is the language here in the Philippines. It was the most spoken language of the Filipino culture. While the Filipino language has existed for several years the country adopted the more common name with the acceptance of the actual language among other Filipino individuals. According to statistics Filipino language was spoken as a first language by over 24 million individuals and as a second language by more than 65 million.
According to the Section 3, Article XIV of the Saligambatas ng Pilipinas that the Congress will make a method to strengthen a language that was based on the cultural language that is used more often . Until it was not yet proven by law, English and Spanish is still the official language.
We should use our own language to strengthen our own nationality.

Reflection (First Quarter)
Mixed happiness, excitement, and in another way around emotions. I didn't expect that I would be able to go to this place. This is another challenge for me to be more prepared for a better future.
As an overview of what i have learned in the past months of this quarter, I would be able for you to share the things that I have learned. The topmost topic that we have discussed is about the brief history of the Internet. Next was the few famous Internet Architects, the Philippine Pioneers, and the Software Architects.
The Internet Architects like Vinton "Vint Cerf or famously Known as the Father of Modern Internet; Robert Khan or known as the co-invemntor of the TCP/IP; John Postel or known as the Administrator of IANA. The Philippine Pioneers like dr. William Torres or famously known as the Father Philippine Internet; Rodolfo Villarica the Fopunding President of the PHNet Inc.; Joel Disini or known as the President of the E-Mail Company. The Software Pioneers like Eric Bina or known as the co-founder of NCC; Marc Andreesen or famously known as the co-creator of Mosaic; and Timothy Tim Berners-Lee or known because of the development of the Internet by using www., http.,and the HTML. And we also learned more about Blogs.
I have few problems that I have encountered this Quarter on this ICT subject. I have some difficulty of composing my articles in my post on the blog. At this First Quarter of being a Fourth Year student even I encountered some untoward problems. I face them so bravely because I know that no can help me of my paper and critical works. Even I was so busy to some other subjects, I still make sure that I will also take good care of my ICT (Information and Communication Technology) subject. I
have a lot assignments, projects, activities, outputs and others. We also have
a lot of activities in ICT like blog.
I address's this challenges by pushing myself to cope up to what I have missed and I am making sure that this missed activities are absolutely good.
Moving on, I will bear in mind that this challenges will serve as my guide to be more prepared for the future. And I will not miss any breath, sweat, sacrfice, effort, strength pain, sufferings, challenges and solutions, to become a perfect-ME.

The Third State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III
Consider that the land of the Philippines is only a child that couldn't stand by himself because this boy is lack of strength. Philippines can't be on one's feet.This land wouldn't live without any other countries.
Why I say this so? I tried to think. I tried to analyze but at the end I concluded that we are just only followers. We can't do by our own. We are just like depending to the said "deal" of our government to a government of the other. Like we are just waiting. For what?
Does the Filipinos are satisfied with the SONA of P-noy. If yes, why should the other people decided to have a rally that day, and the worst thing is the people and the police are having trouble. Majority some people says that the people are not happy of what P-noy have reported to the Filipinos about the progress of the Philippines. This is a worst face that the coutry is facing for.
He who believes the numbers cited by P-noy. Nobody would believe on the Cash Transfer Scheme. The million poor donors are fabricated. That "Cash Transfer" is the quickest way to cheat the Filipino people of their tax payers money. Besides, it is next to impossible to audit and monitor. You have no choice but to accept the expected money that he have given.
| K+12 Program of the Government |
Again, many people are arguing P-noy has committed TREASON OR GUILTY. They say why did he ordered pulling out our Navy in the Scarborough Shoal stand off? He even declared fish ban to the Filipino Fishermen. Again, he is spreading disinformation to what is really is happening regarding the territorial violations of China. But for me it's not the giving out the real event but he is giving privacy to the said issue.
They say he did not abide by his Official mandate to protect our Constitution and protect
our territorial Sovereignty.
The President of the P-noy was using his
common sense by giving warning to country neighbours about
China's aggressiveness on territorial claims. He said China's claims
are getting closer and closer to the shore so neighboring countries must be
vigilant on their islands too especially those islands that are located around
the South China Sea.
Philippines, with the help of the United States as ally of
the country would surely join hand in hand in protecting the their territories
but of course WAR is not a thing that people would be proud of.
This was a good job Mr. President. This was good start for a progressive country. I would not expect for anything but you can prove it to us that this will be the beginning of another day of our mother-Philippines.

Nutrition Month Celebration 2012
Today you may have look out upon a world that
has lost one human being. But that would perhaps be due from the problem of our
mother nation-poverty.
Many people in our environment can do such crimes to enable
for them to to cross the bridge of hunger. They are so brave to do worst
things in other for them to eat for a little beat.
If there is high demand in individual needs there is a
possibility that a few few people can afford the amount of product with a
higher quality. Just like on food, many people choose a lower standard of cheap
products with a lower quality.
Some poor people here in the Philippines is depending on
what they have, on what they can prepare for their everyday meal. They are not
choosing the right and the best food for them to
nourish themselves because they lack one of their basic needs, their
food.
So this time I will share to you some tips to improve the
diet of every Filipino. A meal consisting mostly of vegetables is not
common, unless you are a vegetarian. You may not care much for color in foods,
preferring meat, fish and poultry instead. What you probably don’t know is that
the more colorful the food, the better it is for your body. Green vegetables
are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. They
contain vitamins (A, C, D, E and K), folate, iron, calcium, potassium and
magnesium, which are essential for the immune system, blood circulation and
bone formation. According to the food pyramid, next to cereals and grains,
fruits and vegetables should make up bulk of your meals. Here are six dark
green vegetables that you should include in your daily meals. (http://www.3fatchicks.com/6-dark-green-vegetables-to-improve-your-diet/)
Study after study
confirms that eating breakfast is a habit we should all get into. In addition
to providing energy, eating breakfast improves your concentration, alertness
and productivity. In her book The Daily Fix, registered dietician Alexa L
Fishback recommends eating a breakfast that contains some fiber and some
protein, somewhere in range of 300 to 500 calories. If you don’t feel like
eating first thing in the morning, pack something portable to eat at your desk,
like yogurt and fruit, instant oatmeal or apple slices and peanut butter.
Some
nutrition experts believe this is the single most important thing you can do to
improve your diet. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of women eat the
recommended five servings a day of fruits and vegetables. For vegetables, a
serving is usually 1 cup raw or ½ cup cooked. For fruit, ½ cup or one medium
piece, or ¼ cup of dried fruit constitutes a serving. To up your fruit and
vegetable intake, add a handful of berries to your morning cereal, pack a
banana for a morning snack and keep cut up vegetable visible in your
refrigerator for easy snacking. (http://healthyhead2toe.sheknows.com/articles/91/5-easy-ways-to-improve-your-diet)
The
current recommendations advise getting five to 13 servings of fruits and
vegetables each day, reports the Harvard School of Public Health. Most people
aren't getting enough, but doing so has many positive effects on health and
wellness. The exact amount needed each day depends on age and activity level,
but incorporating more produce in your daily diet can help improve and maintain
your health.
Eating
a diet rich in fruits and vegetables means you are getting adequate amounts of
a variety of nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, fiber and potassium. This
effectively protects you from getting heart disease to a larger extent than
those who don't get enough produce in their daily diet. The more fruits and
vegetables eaten, the lower your risk, as much as 30 percent, according to the
Harvard School of Public Health. Some choices offer more benefits than others,
but all fruits and vegetables contribute to a healthy heart. Those that provide
the most protection include, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables and citrus
fruits.
The
fiber content in fruits and vegetables means that they keep you feeling full
longer, which can help you keep your weight down by helping you refrain from
overeating. In addition, produce is low in calories, meaning you can eat more
of them without going overboard on calorie intake. Eating fruits and vegetables
whole, rather than as juice or purees, offers more fiber and less energy
density, according to The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion. This means that fruits and vegetables have less calories in
ratio to their weight than high-fat foods like bacon. Choosing them means you
are satisfied with fewer calories and that you stay satisfied longer, making it
easier to consume less calories overall, leading to weight loss and maintenance
once goals have been reached.
The
nutrients in fruits and vegetables have been linked to a higher incidence of
cancer prevention. More research needs to be done, but the evidence thus far is
compelling enough to show that a diet high in produce can protect you against
several types of cancer, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. For
example, high intake of lycopene, present in tomatoes and watermelon, may
protect against the development of prostate cancer in men. The carotenoids that
give fruits and vegetables their bright colors has been shown to have a
positive effect on preventing lung, mouth and throat cancer. Non-starchy
vegetables, such as leafy greens, garlic, onions and most fruits, may offer
protection from lung and stomach cancer.

Letter to the President
June 22, 2012
Dear Mr. President,
Before
I would enter or to say the main point or my purpose of this endeavor, I would
like to extend my greatest gratitude to you Mr. President, because you have given me the
chance to share and to say what’s on my mind , opinions regarding to some
problems that you have established in this more than a year of service and administration that you have done.
I would like to emphasize these things in the past years that you Mr. President should give importance.
Population.The extent of our population lead to many aspects if we are bigger and will be bigger in size.
The amount of population will lead to insufficient supply of labor and services. I think you would come to a better solution for this kind of problem.
Government facilities and promotes the settlement and cultivation of public and agricultural lands. This is a famous and a very abundant job here in the Philippines and many of us are depending a lot on this field of industry, agriculture.Can you imagine a country without the agricultural industry? It would be impossible.
Systems and problems of agriculture have their effects on the economic development of the Philippines. About a 2 years ago where the whole country experience the insufficient supply of rice . But now I think this problem was replenished because the supply goes up.
We all know that manufacturing is a big solution that can lift up the economic development of the Philippines because if we ca manufacture a lot of products that was made up here in the country and it will be exported to the International Market there will be a possibility that the country will reach its extent Gross National Product.
Transportation and Communication also build up a better and enable country because without this two the economy of one country will decelerate, it is better to appreciate our modern technology.

There are a lot of questions that our people are asking for on why the country is now facing through. Just like what you have said on your speeches about the crying Philippines, "the whole was made to ride in a paper boat eventually to drown in a sea of lies and anomalies". In my opinion you have stated that kind of hyperbole on the country's economy because it was so hard to lift up the economic growth of once nation in terms of different problems involving such cases that the former administration of the former President and now Pampanga Cogresswoman Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Why did I indicated the former administration? The last administration did not exist the real face of being
a progressive country. I did not say that they have gone the process graft and
corruption because I have no enough evidence. But this observation let every
individual share ideas that maybe some of these political officials may have or
may not have some unreasonable prohibited actions as they circulate in the vessels
of the government.
Second one is poverty, I know Mr. President that you are giving
your best to give some remedies regarding this matter. Many Filipinos mostly to
some interior places here in the Philippines undergo to the problem, mostly in
Mindanao area. Not only in the problem of poverty but also malnutrition, scarcity
of individual needs, lack of programs for the people, be deficient in the educational necessities
and the most important the discipline.
I would like to emphasize these things in the past years that you Mr. President should give importance.
Population.The extent of our population lead to many aspects if we are bigger and will be bigger in size.
The amount of population will lead to insufficient supply of labor and services. I think you would come to a better solution for this kind of problem.

Let us face the world and at the we will
all escape to this very big problem of the Philippines.
Respectfully yours ,
