Reflection

          Third quarter was full of surprises. making drafts none stop. But it was fun because even though there are some part of it that has a wrong grammar, i still had to post it because i was rushing. But actually, ICT  is now one of my favorite subjects because we didn't do a lot this grading period. it was all about tags and making web design and enjoying on typing my drafts. And with making web design was discovering things in the internet. curiosity made it happen.

"Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue"

          We may arrive to different places with different languages but the dialect I'v been used to since our childhood years will be kept it forever.

          Being once a child , we were trained to speak with our local dialects through in help of our beloved parents/ guardian. It became our first language before we entered school. And as we grow old, more and more languages is taught for us to communicate well to others. But w still manage to keep our main dialect because we believed that we wouldn't be professionals if we never had it. It made us go to the top. And so we must consider its importance whether we reached our dreams or not. It had a great advantage specially on dealing with other people. We have to keep it in mind wherever we go.    

New Year, New Me!

          We kept on promising to do things every time a year would end and tend to be active just to fulfill it. But do we really give an effort to do t? Or is it just meant to be broken?

          It's been my tradition to have my yearly resolutions but somehow, it is easy for me to forget them because I can't resist to focus on other things. But this year, I didn't prepare anything because I just want to be happy and enjoy my life being with my family, relatives and friends. I don't want to waste my time because someday somehow, unintentionally, I would suddenly change. Let it be God's will and just go with it. I want to feel free but I will know all my limitations.

          They say "New Year, New Me", but all I can say is that just stay who we are right now and let everybody accept the real you. But as early as now, we have to realize or know all the things that we have to change what others feel different about you.

The Essence of Christmas

          Christians observe a religious festival known as "Christmas" celebrated every December 25th of the year. From being popular, virtually all nations observe that day as a public holiday to mark the birth of Jesus Christ.  Christmas means different to different folks, but what is the true essence of Christ's birth?

          Generally, it's a day to show love.  According from the Holy Bible, a chapter which says "For God so loved the World that he gave his only beloved son for our sin". God loves us so much which was then represented by his beloved son.  And with that, it's our responsibility to show love to others not only in the day of Christmas but every single day that God has given us.  Love is the true essence of life because it embodies all the Jesus Christ represents.

          Christmas is a day of sharing. Some folks share food, gifts or  other things that could bring joy to others .  While some share their time to their loved ones especially to those who seldom stay with their family.

          Christmas is a day of reconciliation. Forgiveness normally occurs during this festive season.  Families that were divided come together as one.  The essence of Christmas is to reconcile men to God to let go of hurt that has been meted out to us.

          Christmas is a day of relationships. It's significant that new relationships are built and old relationships are renewed.  Friends find  a way to share love through exchanging gifts.

          Just by showing love, sharing and building new relationships, the essence of Christmas is normally shown.  For it is made to celebrate joy and happiness with no heartaches or heartbreaks.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

          Gender-based discrimination, best known for discrimination towards women and girls.  One of the reasons why women suffer the consequences especially to health.

          Inequality usually arose between men and women wherein most of the time women always undergo to difficult situations.  Men disregards the ability of women not knowing that there are things which are impossible for men to do.  So there is need to educate ourselves to take a correct view of women to redress the injustices done to them in all aspects.  In a family, it won't be complete without a woman, we should admit it, they play a major role in life.  And so we must consider how important they are in a society.  But genuine equality between men and women, boys and girls can only be realised if we undergo the process of a just, fair and there is a humane transformation of our society as a whole.  And of course it is impossible to make it happen if there is no peace and understanding between men and women.  There should be unity to enable women to take their rightful place in activities to improve their economic and political status.

          To build a great, just, fair and humane society, it is of utmost importance to arouse the people to stay as one and promote the equal rights and opportunities for our progress.

Responce to Climate Change

          "Time is Gold", one of the most famous saying or should we say the simplest quotation you would ever hear.  But do we really know the real meaning of it?

           Sometimes, the cause of Global Warming come from natural disasters and usually also from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, population growth as well as the agriculture and industry that replace the forests.  It feels bad because due to this causes it affects the Mother Nature a lot.  It goes first to climate change then falls down to World's destruction and finally the loss of human race.  Climate change is caused by Global Warming wherein it affects more than just a change in the weather, it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time.  It affects the sea levels, temperature, risks in drought, fire and flood, crops that would wither, wildlife at risk, heat-related illnesses or diseases, seawater becoming more acidic, economic damage and stronger storms and  hurricanes.  So what are we waiting for?  In this very alarming cases, we should learn to apply the 3Rs in every aspects of our life.

          Consider life's importance, make every single second count.  Remember that we lived because of a big responsibility, to give the Earth all the care it needs.

MIRROR! MIRROR!

          Another chapter of our learning has again ended and it surely was fun gaining knowledge that has a connection with the use of the Internet.  Making drafts, posting it in our blogs and lots of html tags.  All in all, it was great because I learned lots of different tags and its uses.  Even though sometimes it's kind of boring when we use the notepad we can still see the good result of it in the end because we see our own amazement especially it's our fist time to encounter "tags".

          Well, the only problem we  encountered is that, the slow Internet connection.  And there was also a time when we were currently posting our drafts when suddenly there was a brownout.  And luckily we already finished it so there was still joy, so we thanked God for that.

          Moving om,  challenges may come for this next grading period but it will not be the hindrance for me to continue going to the next level.  And instead of losing chances, especially when making our drafts, I'll make use of my time wiser with no rushing.
