Essence of CHRISTmas

                “Let’s sing Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday, this season may we never forget the LOVE we have for Jesus. Let him be the one to guide us, as another New Year starts and may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts…” makes a very good sense about Christmas.

                Yuletide Season… Or what we are more familiar about as the “Christmas Season” is drawing near! Have you decided what gifts you would give? Who to give them to?

                But wait! Is that what Christmas really is? I think NOT. If you come to your senses, it is the time when we are as one, regardless of the Nationality and whatsoever. Normally people would just waste their times on decorating their homes, preparing food and buying the gifts for people they love. Not so many think of giving their hearts up to God and letting his spirit come into that person’s soul. So now what? What am really trying to say, well, as for I have seen, the real essence of Christmas is becoming a blur, not many people understand what they are celebrating anymore.

                As I saw from the internet about Santa Claus and Jesus, Jesus was sad because the people and kids remember Santa but not him, while in fact he should be the one who is the “BIDA” in that day. Christmas is not all about gifts and happiness, it is also about reminiscing the past, remember what Jesus did to us and be that reminder that god gave us another year, another chance to be better people and change for the better on the coming year.

                Let us all make Christmas as a reminder that Jesus has stayed with us, made a change in us and he was the main reason why people are now given second chances and that they are forgiven of their mortal sins.

                Life is short… Don’t dare make it shorter! Try to change for this year and be friendlier. Try changing for the better. Forgive who has done wrong to you, apologize to the people you’ve done wrong and most importantly, Forget the mistakes and be anew.

Changing... Climate??

                A significant and lasting change in the numerical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions. It is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming".

            But what is it that we are talking about? Do people really understand that meaning? I think not, but for my own opinion, CLIMATE CHANGE states itself, many people say that it is a change which occurs normally but I seem to have found a reason not to believe in such theories. I have a statement of my own (which does not need any bad comments) that Climate Change is a change wherein people are involved, they are the ones creating such chaotic outcomes, they are truly involved in such destruction, for me, it is really a fault of the humans, not just from the present but also from the past and to our coming future. Why you might ask? Well, it has been cleared in my head that these happenings do not just occur normally, they need negative pushes from the exterior world which in a few years or more will cause such calamities and otherwise such damage. If one must encounter such a big problem in life, all are encountering it; they say that it cannot be prevented anymore, well, of course not! It can only be cured by patience and such smart people to realize that there is still a cure; we can still do our best to make our home, Mother Earth, a better place to live in. But how? We can just do this by simply making our surroundings greener (not literally) and after years of effort and practice, then there will be such great results.

           Knowing is not as good as understanding and studying it on your own…

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

                Not all understand the importance of equality, some say that guys should be higher because they always were the ones handling the harder and much more difficult jobs, some say that the girls should be more superior because they are the ones who make the decisions, carry on what the harder parts in life has to offer, take good care of their homes while they do their jobs, they are also the ones who do multiple jobs and do not complain as much as the men do.

                But wait! Are those enough reasons? Should that be what the people’s minds are on? Who deserves more respect? Who? We must think outside the box and know that NO ONE deserves better respect that the other! Both men and women deserve the same rights, opportunities, respects and everything else. Come to think of it, when we have equality in everything, none of us will be discriminated; none will be disrespected on anything that may occur in our lives. Think! Would that not be more amazing than what and how we are right now?

                If we know how to balance things out, if we understand how equal rights and equal opportunities really mean then we shall not encounter such problems that may destroy one’s life and whatsoever.

                We must always remember that thinking outside the box is the most appropriate thing to do, reminisce and take to heart that equality is what balances nature and every being in it.

English? A Language!

    "Going Global through the English Language" is the theme for this year's English Month Celebration and a very self-explanatory one. (If you ask me)

    So it says that we must or should use the English Language or what is even called the "Universal Language" to communicate with others. As we all know, this language is called the "Universal Language" for a certain reason, I think that the reason is that in the entire world (I mean this literally), it is a very useful language because this language is used and learned in every place and even small regions in this world

    Now, can we reach the entire world with this language? This so called ENGLISH? I really think so, YES! Well, it is very clear, how can we go global if we use different languages to communicate with each other? We will not be able to understand each other. It is very understandable that English should be used.

    So now, all we have to do is enhance our vocabularies, try to be more fluent and elegant, then we will have a better communication with other people all around the world.
 

Prepared for life...

                Another two months have passed, more days conquered with the help of the people around and the help of my friends…

                People have come and gone, many obstacles have been dominated upon, experience made and hoped to become the things that can be made as an inspiration to be the cause to empower me and mold me into being a better person and as a motivation to any person who will take the chances and risk for anything that can be the reasons why this is a better place to be in.

                As this Second Grading Period has passed so easily, making me feel like it was just a flash, it seemed to me like many things have happened already yet many times I have wasted memories that could have been worthwhile. I was like the old me, being myself but then again I should have changed what my studying tactics are.

                I have seen in myself that although there was almost no change, it was likely that I became happy with the things that I have done and made a huge impact on some people and even made a better person out of different people whom I just met. Thus, I have been a good model to some people who know me better and showed that I, myself, can be the reason why someone is very proud.

                What has happened this grading, I don’t want to change, I am happy with it and I know that there would still be more of the good memories to come. It is just a matter of acceptance and readiness of a person to show that whatever may happen, I am prepared with life.

A Heroic Teacher

                TEACHER? A Teacher is a person who teaches when you literally speak of it. Then again, what do we really know, right? Here I am again, asking but answering my own questions. Like almost every part of my blog, I do it.

                They say that what a teacher does is simply teaching us and being there when we need information. But again, that is not all that they do, they have different works and errands to do just to justify and make sure to us that we are safe and that we become better people to our own kind. We are those kinds of people who are sometimes narrow-minded. Thus, we don’t realize how lucky we are to have them in our lives.

                Our teachers are our friends, they are our second parents, with their busy schedule they are even strangers to us. We forget about them but disregarding all of those, we should know how much we mean to them, even if they get mad at us, even if they shout at us, even if they are mean at times, doesn't mean they don’t appreciate what we do, nevertheless we should show to them that they are important to us and that they mean almost the world to us.

                MY TEACHERS ARE THE LIVING HEROES…

Scientists in the making

                Science is a systematized body of knowledge based on facts. So is that understandable? I don’t think so. We should further explain this learning in school or by experiencing them.

                Can you imagine a world where knowledge is limited? A world where you can’t find all the reasons you need? No? Honestly, I myself can never imagine that kind of world. Now? This is where science would enter, yes! Science may not be able to answer religious questions but they can answer scientifically almost anything. Science takes a lot of space in our world; it can determine whether or not why things exist and how they actually work. This must be one of the main reasons why we should continue to discover things at very young ages.

                As a future product of Ilocos Sur National High School, I know that not only in the Science Class do teachers expand the knowledge of their student; it is also in the Regular and Math Classes that you can see the students concentrating on such subjects. Science Month is made to encourage the students to be more attentive in their classes and to enhance their skills to whatever life can offer them.

                “Unravel the causes; build a solution, Empower Science Clubbers to action.” Well then we must know that problems and therefore know what solutions may be applied and help in the making and performing of those.
