Wika, atin kayang gamitin?

Every day of our lives, do we find time to give importance to our own LANGUAGE? Are we even aware that our language is degrading because of our own doings? We are making our own nation degrade! As the theme says, “Wika natin ang daang matuwid” and I seem to understand now why they say so…

Hindi naman lingid sa ating kaalaman na an gating wika ay isa sa mga sandata natin para tayo ay makabangon at mapaganda an gating bansa. Sa buwan ng Agosto ang Buwan ng Wika ng buong Pilipinas. Ito ang itinakdang oras upang tayo ay ang magkaisa at mapabuti ang ating wika.

Sa buwang ito, napapalago ang ating wika at kasabay nito ang pagiging mahusay natin sa iba’t ibang sangay ng ating sarili. Ang mga estudyante ngayon sa Ilocos Sur National High School ay nagtatagisan ng galing at ibabahagi na rin sa masa ang kanilang angking talino at galing. Mayroong mga iba’t ibang kompetisyon na maaaring salihan para mahasa ang sariling kakayahan.

Sumali ang Marconi at Maxwell sa Sabayang Pagbigkas ngunit nasawi. Kahit man ganito ang mga nangyari, alam naming sa sarili namin na mas magaling rin kami kaysa sa mga nanalo. Sumali rin ako sa indibidwal na paligsan ng Dagliang talumpati para maranasan ko naman ito. Sanay na kasi ako sa Ingles at gusto naman na ipakita na kahit papano ay mahal ko pa rin ang aking sariling wika at kaya ko pa rin itong gamitin. Kahit man nasawi, alam kong ginawa ko ang aking makakaya.

Then again, I must learn that this month is all about accepting what was really meant to be and for us to treasure it. In the near future, I will show the world that I am proud to be a Filipino and I am not ashamed to use my own language.

Face the World

For every day that passes, I seem to have learned somethings that I never expected I would. This Fourth Year of mine in Ilocos Sur National High School, I seem to have understood how life is more different than what I knew it would be. Who would ever expect that this year will be the most spectacular and somehow the most mysterious times of my life now that I am in high school.

            Can life be any more difficult and head cracking than this? Yes, absolutely. Life can be more horrible than what I see now and this is about time for me to face the world and be a person with distinct honor and privilege. Most of the time now, students at young age have gadgets and social networking accounts instead of books and papers to write on. How is that so? Generation change, life is change. At first I felt like the Generation has left me but now? I know that it hasn’t because if it did, I could not do what I am able to do now. Who ever thought that I’d adapt to this new world? Yes, I have adapted myself already and it is fine time for everyone to instead of complaining about change. Why do I speak of that now? Well, that’s what I’ve learn as of this First grading. Life is always about change and that people should learn to accept it.

The only things keeping me from adjusting myself is the people around me. The ones who do not want change to enter in our lives, if only they can accept the fact that this is the way life is, they would be able to live a better life and maybe a better life than me.

Though they have been the ones keeping me from becoming a better person than who I am now. I kept in my mind that it should not be and that one day, they’ll be able to agree to what I have decided on my life.

Moving on... All I can say now is that I am trying to be a better person whether or not people try to dismay me. After all, this is still my life and they can only give comments on what I do but cannot dictate what I should really do.
