Equal Rights : Equal Opportunities

Men and Women Should be Equal

Along time ago, the majority of people believed that men should work harder than women because they are responsible financially to feed and support their families. No man is an island but all people have the equal right and equal opportunities. All of us have the right to love, right to care about someone's life or problem or state, right to move, right to dance and sing, and etc. but in short, have the right to live. Now they have many choices and opportunities; they can do anything and get involved in all areas.   Attaining justice, happiness and success, illustrate how women have gained over the years to become equal to men.

Happiness is another factor for being equal. Women were not satisfied enough because they felt they couldn't live without their men, also they couldn't be independent and they had to live this way even if they didn't want to. Satisfaction is extremely important to make life easier and nicer. Many people says that not all people are the same but for me, even though they say that no people are the same, all people have equal rights and opportunities because boys and girls have the equal purposes. they also says that "boys" have the bigger right especially when they are married. but I don't believe that. Even though boys is stronger than girls, they still have the equally to live as person or living thing. They have equality to fight and live. all people also have the rights to listen ad respect one another. 

There's need for us to unite and enable women to take their rightful place in production and political activity to improve their economic and political status. There is need to educate ourselves and others to take a more correct view of women and to actively redress the injustices done to women in all our institutions such as the Church, state and family. We should be aware that the liberation of women from these injustices is part and parcel of the liberation of all the poor and oppressed. The women's struggle is deeply connected with efforts of all the poor who are struggling for their upliftment in all aspects of life.

Climate Change

Attention has begun to shift from local, short-term seasonal patterns of temperature, rainfall, other elements of the weather, toward longer-term trends that can affect the entire Earth, see long-term weather trends are called "climate.” It is therefore important understand the difference, as well as the relation, between "weather" and "climate."We all know now that climate change is exceeding today.  And climate is changing. It is also the general weather conditions that typical of it. And we all know that climate is slightly dangerous for all people here in the world.

            There are also different climate changes such as global warming or El Nino. Global climate has been changing and still continue to change. Over a long period of time, climatic fluctuations may be such that, a shift in type of climate prevailing over a given area, takes place.

 Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical 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. Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic circulation, and climate change is often used to describe human specific impacts. Climate change exceeds only when heat or amount of heat that let into the system changes or the amount of the heat that is let out of the system changes. 

Reflection

Information and Communications Technology or simply ICT was a very informative and interesting class. It was taught by Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz and also our practice teacher Ms. Melany Queyquep, who a wonderful persons and excellent teachers. We covered lots of criteria material and discussed topics during the tenure of the class. We also learned many computer skills which were great compliments to the many grammar and writing skills learned.  

 Blogger was a major part of the class. We learned a lot. Like making our blogger. Posting blogs in the blogger and a lot more. while I am making or writing my draft, each essay have knowledge and good and each essay taught us about a different style or form of writing. The most difficult essay for me to write was about the Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy. For my scientricy essay I supported my essay by taking the meaning in every word of the theme. I got difficulty in making it. I can honestly say my essay skills have improved tremendously more than the past essay I’ve done.

Not only about ICT that I’ve learned. Also other aspects of being a woman and a person in this world. I learned how to get hurt. I learned also how to forgive, how to understand people around me. And this was definitely one of my favorite classes this semester. I can honestly say I will leave this class a better reader, writer, evaluator, and reviewer.  As a bonus I even learned how to use the Notepad, a simple text editor for Microsoft Windows and it is also the common text-only (plain text) editor.  I really enjoyed working with my class mates and will leave with new friends. My interest in playing computers and posting blogs in the blogger has increased tremendously, thanks to our loving, caring, understanding and beautiful subject teacher Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz and to our beautiful and joyful practice teacher, Ms. Melany Queyquep.   Overall it has been a wonderful experience to enjoy.

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

We all know that English is very important. English is a language of England and not only England people is using English language, also Filipinos and other citizens or country have the right to use this.

In order to get the effectiveness, adaption and views of the students and teachers, we examine the development in the field of teachings and understandings. The study includes the role of the teachers to initiate the best teachings strategies, the achievement in improving the language skills and method for evaluating their quality and the validity of their outcomes. English Proficiency is the biggest competitive advantage in the global job market today especially in maritime business.   Now, we are aiming to focus on the growth of English Proficiency as it continues to decline. As the students, are aiming to work also in international companies. Since, we know, things like international treaties, signing business contracts, job examinations and interviews are usually done in English. Employers in today’s global market want people to have a good qualification that are recognized all over the world and also high proficiency in spoken and written English.

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence. For me, the meaning is to maintain having ability or skills in English for effective communication. It is important to learn how to speak English because I think this is the only way to have a better communication or conversation with other people even though we are in other country or wherever we are, I know and I believe that having an ability or skill in English can help us a lot to communicate better and to understand better in order to achieve improvement in communicating with others.

To be understood, you've got to be good! You won't get your message over, if you don't understand it yourself! Spell it right, and tell it right! Get the language right, and the message will get there! Your knowledge of English is a tool; be a good workman and use it efficiently! The foundations are in place; what will you build on them?

Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

          Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy is like conservation of energy. It is also aims to introduce students and teachers to sustainable energy and engage them in the call for its responsible use. When we save energy, we also save money. For it reduces the demand for fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Such fuels form non-renewable energy sources.

Energy is an essential input for the industrial development. Energy is produced from commercial sources like coal, petroleum, hydroelectric schemes as well as from non-commercial sources like cow dung, fuel wood and agriculture wastes. Per capital consumption of commercial energy is something used as an index of the economic advancement that a country as attained. The debate surrounding sustainability has been carried on with increasing urgency due to widespread concern about the problem of ensuring the long-lasting prosperity of human society. A prosperous society is a highly developed one in which every member of the community derives benefits from a stable and wealthy economy with basic social services, effective core infrastructures, high standards of education and many practical applications of advanced technology. In order to achieve and maintain affluence, mankind has taken a great deal from nature and caused damage which is threatening not only the current generation but also the life of humankind in the future. 

        This theme is hard to understand. Honestly, I didn’t completely understand this. But, only I know is conserving of energy. So, let’s conserve energy. 

Wonder Teacher

"Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own."

            Having a teacher, as a hero, is hard to find. Hard to think and hard to look. As of now, many people or all of us have our own hero. Different heroes like superman, wonder woman, cat woman and etc. Children say that their hero was a hero who is flying high over there, likewise superman and etc. But for me, my hero is not a hero who is flying. My hero is my teachers, even though they can’t fly, I will consider them as my hero. Teachers are different from a true superhero. A teacher also is a mother, a sister and a brother. They act all as like that. Teachers inspire us and they can also change our personality. They inspire us by their talks or sayings or beliefs. They can also change the state of our lives because like what I have said a while ago, teachers are the second mothers and fathers. They can teach us on how to be success; they can push us to be success. Teachers are one of my inspirations to success.
            A teacher affects eternity: he/she can never tell where his influence stops. Teaching creates all other professions. Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom.  To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid. The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.  He inspires self-distrust.  He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him.  He will have no disciple. A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplitism.

            So, I salute all the teachers and have a Happy, Happy Teachers Day!!! Good day.

Tatag ng wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagkapilipino

                   
                All people have their own Nationality. have their own country. And have their own language.

                Me, I belong to the Filipino Nationality. We, the Filipino, are hospitable, kind, caring, loving and strong. Filipinos fight for every problems or Filipinos are not afraid to face any problems so that Filipinos will be success. Filipinos didn't do anything to make their country down. Filipinos didn't live well if their or our country is not in peace position. I know that all Filipino people are peace builder, not a trouble maker. if there is a war, it is understood that not a Filipino make or start this war. so, I am proud to be a Filipino. 

                Sometimes, some Flipino used other language like English, Chinese language, Japanese language and etc. but, Filipino always used Filipino language. Some Filipino doesn't attempt or accept that they are weak if other country or person attacks them. Only Philippines have the Filipino language. Filipinos doesn't give up.
                 Only one I have to say, I'm proud to be a Filipino. 

My Heroes

                

              Have you ever wondered what a true hero is like? When people say hero, they usually think of cartoon characters like Superman, Spider man, or SpongeBob. But for me, I will think of my mom. My mom is caring, encouraging, and she loves me. I won’t be able to make it to today if she had never taught me all those lessons of life.

                I consider my mom as my hero because I am nothing if she is not there. I considered her as my hero again because they are working hard for us, for my brothers and my sister, only to live without suffering any pain. I salute my/our parents. I salute them because they understand us. Their patience doesn't end. My father and mother cares about us. Cares about me. They care about our problems. They care what we feel, painful or painless. My mom is always encouraging me to do well in school and at home. My father tells everything to me what is good, what I am going to do. He doesn't want us at the last. Sometimes, I got irate because he expected too much out of me, but at the end, I realize that he was always be there for me when I need him. I love my mother. She keeps telling me not to give up no matter how complicated and intricate objective is. My mom is always encouraging me not to step down the stairs of life. When I bring home a bad grade, she always gently talk to me and expected me to do better. My mom loves me ever since she carried me and she always will be for the rest of her life. She never did tell me, but somewhere deep inside, I know it was love. Even though sometimes I talk back at her, I know that I will always be her sweetheart. My mom loves me for who I am and she will love me if I changed. My mom is always willing to sacrifice herself for my family and me.

               Sometimes I hate my parents because they didn't give what I want and sometimes they are scolding me. But, even if is that the case, I still salute my parents. I care for my parents and I love so much my parents.

“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.”

        This subject has helped me overcome my fear of technology. I was unsure of myself at first, but I quickly became used to using e-mail.  As a student, I have learned a lot from our computer subject. I learned how to think, I learned how to make anything that is said output, I learned also how to be a responsible student and more. I discovered also myself on how to make an output or good output. Just to have an inspiration to do, you’ll make a good output. Enjoy only what you are doing. The result will be okay. I learned also how to use properly with the internet. What are the importance of computer or internet. And also how to taking care to them. But only the problems or challenges that I have encountered are hardness of doing every activity or output. I may got hard in doing them but our teacher teach me or us in doing them. I am very grateful that I have a teacher like Ma’am Vera Cruz. Thanks a lot Ma’am.  I also got hard in making the e-mail(s) in the blogger because I’m not used in using blogger. It’s my first time to use Blogger. Now, I know it already.

        I addressed these challenges very hard but slowly I’m having an skill in doing them. And I’d tried and tried my best in making them and to pass the challenges. Honestly, I got angry in doing them ‘coz it’s so hard. I get hard in making it. But, even though I had lots of problems socially, mentally, financially, spiritually and whatever, I still tried my best.

        Mving on, I will develop my skill in doing these because I know I’m weak in making them. Everytime, I’m doing every output or activity, I’m trying to develop my skills or ability and I’m trying to be good on it. So, now, I’m very grateful that I have done/pass all them in the First Grading Period. 

PNoy's SONA

PNoy: SONA 2012

It’s been 2012 year of the water dragon as our fellow Chinese call it to be, end of the world according to the extinct race Mayun. But before anything else, we are expecting to the least hear this year’s State of the Nation Address or SONA 2012 of Philippine President.

July 23, 2012, President Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III, also known PNoy, delivered his third SONA or his State of the Nation Address at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa Complex, Quezon City. His speech highlighted most of his impressive accomplishment, - in health, education, tourism, armed forces, transportation and communication, among other. PNOy will report the country’s status, unveil the government’s agenda for next year, and possibly propose to the Lower House and the Senate some Legislative measures. Thousands of protesters marched towards the House of Representative in anticipation of President Benigno III’s State of the Nation Address. According to Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN), at least 12, 000 people joined the People’s SONA to protest high prices and low wages.

Even though, it’s hard to believe all what PNoy said, I still trying to believe and trust to him because I know and I believe he can do it.  Congratulations to you Mr. President. Mabuhay!

Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw itong Ihain

"Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw itong Ihain"

by: Ervie Rigunay Javier

                   Many people are eating vegetables. And I know that not all people are eating vegetables everyday especially children. You know vegetable is? Vegetable is needed by our body. Vegetables contains significant sources of essential nutrients-- vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals necessary for preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health. Minerals, particularly calcium and iron and vitamins particularly A and C. However, many people, regard vegetables as accessory food items which one can live without. Vegetables, are considered as side dishes and not a major focus of meals. "Pagkain ng Gulay ugaliin, Araw-araw itong Ihain". These theme is very intelligible. We all know and understand this. We all know that eating vegetables give us lots of energy for our daily lives. So, eat vegetables everyday. 

                           Giving importance to vegetables by eating them everyday is the biggest thing that you can do to make your body healthy and strong. Eating junk foods give you indefinite health. Junk foods here, junk foods there, makes your whole body unhealthy. You can't perform all the activities with full of energy and power and strength. It might be happen that it will destroy your concentration in making it. we can lose it. Vegetables, not only a cancer fighters; they also provide healthful benefits against cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke, obesity, diverticulosis and more. It can also cause death. Provides disease or problems to the body if we can't eat vegetables. 

                             Eating vegetables is not hard to do it. But it's hard to exclude it in our mind. Eat, eat and eat and be strong. Ba happy! :)

LETTER TO PRESIDENT

June 22, 2012

Honorable Benigno C. Aquino

President of the Philippines

Malacanang Palace

Manila

Dear Mr. President,

Mabuhay!

Given a chance to write the President of the Philippines and has the opportunity to inform to the President of my opinions and observations of the present situation in our country, particularly in our locality, is a very fortunate on my side as an ordinary youth like me. 

Sir, I am a resident in one of the Coastal municipalities of Ilocos Sur that's why I am very much concerns on continuous destruction of the environment especially in our shoreline. 

Sir, there are rumors of a "Black Sand Mining" that I though it is the primary cause of the said destruction but the Local Officials strongly denied it. 

As per my observation Sir, the shoreline is now very near from the households, to the fact that some of our residents are now transferred to other places and the texture of the sand is like a mud. Going to beach is no longer as fun as before and we the youth are very much bothered on it. 

I hope Mr. President tat my letter will serves as your eye opener on the present picture in our locality and to humbly request for the immediate inspection and investigation to our predicament and please, do not simply relay on the report of the Local Government. 

Thank you very much and more power. 

Respectfully yours, 

ERVIE CLAIRE R. JAVIER
