my TEACHER, my HERO

Always be and Always will!

          Education is the most important heritage we could get from our parents. No one could snatch it away from us . It is all our own. And we owe it to our teachers.

   Our success in life depends on how our teachers in collaboration with our parents inflict on us. Aside from our old folks, teachers are next responsible in molding our future. In school, my teacher is my model. I appreciate the strictness of teachers if it's reasonable enough. Through their strictness and stern ways of imposing their superiority on us just to be sure we will become good citizens. Teachers have a great role on molding and honing us to be better persons. You impart with us your skills and knowledge. It is in this stage of life where reality is placed and errors spell disasters or success. Your patience with out shortcomings encourage us to be future leaders. That you have faith, determination and perseverance to ensure quality of education for it is through education that could face the world and our future with certainty.

      And these I owe you, my Teachers!

    They say you are nobody but I look up to you with high respect! They also say you are a weakling but for me you are strong that you can even rebirth the nation! An ordinary person, they say, but I praise and adore you because I know that you deserve more! Always be and always will: MY TEACHER, MY HERO!

MODERN DAY HEROES

FAMILY: Ultimate Source of Everything

“And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you’ll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you.”

            - HERO, by Mariah Carey

Everybody can be a hero in so many ways. Someone who continues to fight for a cause in spite of fatigue and pain, someone who inspires us in order to move on with our lives through hardships and miseries .

There's this holiday that we celebrate every year wherein we call it National Heroes Day in honor to the brave, plucky, lionhearted and indomitable heroes who fought for us retrieving back the freedom of our beloved country.

These so-called Modern Day Heroes are those who in their own little ways contributed good deeds beneficial to others and to the nation. Among these modern day heroes are the migrant workers of OFWs through economy. Being away from their families is already a torture for them, what more if they are unjustly or brutally treated by their employers which mostly happen to domestic helpers. Their sacrifices just to earn money made them heroes in the eyes of their families even in their country as well.

Heroism is not only those who have global effect but acts of heroism is also defined as people who in their own simple way quietly extend help when they are needed. Those quiet but dedicated workers who are about to go in their respective work and being always ready in terms of helping. These includes parents, teachers, garbage collectors, mechanics, farmers, caregivers, carpenters, janitors, farmers, drivers and many more. The stories of these unsung heroes are not often read in newspapers or shown on television.

I consider my family as my ultimate source of everything, my Modern Day Hero at all times because of zillion reasons.Enumerating few reasons: they were the ones who helped me in terms of trouble or something negative that happened, taking care of me since I was born, the ones who supports me in my daily needs everyday, my first teachers, my mentors, my best friends and most importantly for giving me their greatest love as their one and only daughter. The fact that you may not share your private situations to your friends but you may share and open it to your family whenever possible. For without them I'll never had a chance to see the beauty of earth.

Wika ng Pagkakaisa

WIKANG PANLAHAT

   Wika ay lubhang mahalaga sa lahat. Isa ito sa mga kasangkapan para sa pagkakaisa. Bawat bansa ay may sariling wika.

    Dito sa Pilipinas ay binubuo ng ilang rehiyon. Bawat rehiyon ay may sariling dialekto. Pero kapag ang isang residente ng isang rehiyon ay mangingibang "rehiyon", magkaiba na ang salita o wikang gagamitin. Ngayon, kakailanganin na ang pambansang wika na "Wikang Filipino" para magkaintindihan ang mga Pilipino sa loob o labas man ng bansa. Ang wika ang siyang bigkis ng lahi!

    Karaniwan nang napag-uusapan ang mga nangingibang bansa. Hindi lingid sa ating kaalaman na marami sa kanila na unang pagkakataon pa lamang na nahihiwalay sa kanilang pamilya. Maaaring takot at pangamba ang sasalubong sa kanila sa una nilang pakikisalamuha sa ibang lahi. Syempre sa ibang bansa, iba-ibang kultura at kaugalian ang iyong makikita at mararanasan. Karamihan sa kanila ay hindi maka-agapay sa takbo ng buhay ngunit kapag nakakatagpo o nakakasalubong ka man lamang ng kababayan mo marahil gagaan din ang iyong pakiramdam sapagkat mayroon ka nang kakampi at kasangga sa mga panahong hindi ka pa nasasanay at baguhan ka palang sa lugar na iyong kinaroroonan. Wika ang siyang tunat na pagkikilanlan ng magka-babayan!

    Saan man naroon, anumang oras at sandali, nagbubuklod ang kaisipan at gawain ng bawat mamamayan dahil sa wika. Tulay para magkaisa, dapat mapag-aralan ng mabuti, pagyamanin at mahalin, at higit sa lahat ipagmalaki ito ng buong puso! Dahil sa wika ang mga tao ay nagkakaintindihan at nagkakasundo kaya may "Pagkakaisa".

MAHALIN ANG SARILING WIKA!

Reflection

    First quarter of the school year is said to be the stage of getting to know one another again and getting acquainted with the ladder we are on. This is our last step of secondary education. This first quarter, I’ve learned to be more patient in dealing with school work and activities, such as blogging. Blogging is a one of a kind activity that not all students would know about it. Blogging is an awesome experience yet enjoyable itself. Experiencing this kind of activity/lesson is a great pleasure. I’m thankful enough and lucky that I got a chance to experience blogging within my high school moments.

School work is really stressful and I should exert more effort in my studies to gain appreciation both my parents and teachers. I may not have the highest honor but at least I’ve got appreciative grades. But high school life though easy as it may seem, there are also hassles and conflicts.

Relaxing, taking it easy and listening to stress relieving melodies are some ways for me to escape painful reality conflicts. Learning more and studying harder makes me feel worthy enough to focused and independently accept any challenges that will come.

Through motivation and open mindedness, I will do my very best in order to keep up!

SONA 2014

5^th State of the Nation Address (SONA) of Pnoy

President Benigno Aquino delivered his fifth State of the Nation Address before both houses of Congress. This is his longest yet emotional speech ever. He said that when he assumed office, he will lead the right path or “Tuwid na daan”.

When President Aquino said his inaugural speech four years ago, he said that the Filipino people are his boss but now he is stating that he is like a father finding solution to the country’s problems rest on his shoulder.

In his 5^th SONA, he enumerated all the projects accomplished under his administration:

1.      The Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) fund for deserving scholars

2.      The poverty rate becomes lower

3.      Lessened national debt

4.      Encouraged more foreign investments and the country’s more open for business

5.      Flood control solution in Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike which will soon open for bidding on late 2014

He also cited the tragedies that resulted from calamities that struck the country. Amidst the slowly progressing country, arise the insurgency in Zamboanga, Bohol earthquake and typhoon Yolanda affecting thousands of people and destruction of properties. He extended recovery plans for all victims but it is not yet quite fully accomplished.

Land reform that started from the previous government in spite of many hazards regarding those lands.

Energy crisis and rice supply were also mentioned in his speech. Energy crisis is inevitable by nice shortage can be remedied like importing from other countries. This way to ward-off hoarders.

DAP issue was his finale blow. He said that in dispensing the said fund, people have divided opinions that this DAP is really served to the people in need, or pocketed by some other authorities.

This speech of President Aquino is maybe the longest but it is only a rigor of statements. All his supposedly accomplishments seem to be coy to uplift his declining performance rate. As of now, people are still longing for President Aquino’s promise to give the righteous path and good governance because up to this date, crime rate and rampant graft and corruption still exist.
