REFLECTION 3rd GRADING

REFLECTION(3^rd Grading period)

          On our Third Grading Period, we experienced and learned a lot of things related to WEB DESIGNING.

          Its my first time to create a Web Page with the use of the NOTEPAD. Its actually quite hard because you have to put a lot of tags in your notepad. For every detail of your web, there is a corresponding tag that will be used on it.

          We had a project, its to create a Web Page and our topic was about THE FAMOUS PEOPLE and LOCAL HEROES of VIGAN CITY. We had a lot of things to do before we have to finish it. First was to make an outline of it through a scrapbook. We interviewed people so that we can gather a lot of information that we can put into our project. We stayed over on the house of our group mate just to gather much information for our topic.

          In the actual making of the Web Design, we were hardened up because we had a lot of trouble with the tags we are putting. Again, we slept over the house of  the one of our group mate to finish it. After that night, Ta-dah!! We are done with our Web Design. Its not that beautiful and organized but at least, we did it. J

          We are ending up again 3^rd grading… next up… 4^th, the last chapter of our High School Life. J

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

        Christmas is not all about presents, toys, jewelries, dresses, money and others. It’s all about giving, sharing, and loving the people around us especially the needy. Loving our fellowmen is the TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS.

       If we are only receiving on this kind of Holiday, we are only showing that we are selfish. We are showing that we are in need of earthly things. We are only showing that we don’t care for others. We are only showing that we don’t appreciate and care for the creations of GOD.

       Always bear in mind that Christmas is not only for receiving, rather it is for giving and sharing what we think is needed by the people around us. Sharing or giving is much better than receiving for giving is one kind of being responsible on how you take care of the creations of GOD. Through sharing and giving, we are giving them a part of us, a part of what  we have and a part of who we are.

       Christmas is not only for one day. Everyday is Christmas. So don’t forget to share a part of yourself on the needy.

KEEPING IN MIND OUR MOTHER TOUNGE

KEEPING IN MIND OUR MOTHER TOUNGE

     

      A person can learn a language in his/her choice, but I think it is more vital to learn more about your native words first before the other Dialects.

      There are so many languages in the world. English, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, etc. but for me, the best language ever existing is our local language which is “ILOCO”. Even thou you know other dialects, when you are at your hometown, you must know your local language. You’re knowledge about this other dialects is worthless if you don’t even know your MOTHER TONGUE.

      The “ILOCO” is a very rich dialect. It has its festivities which makes it exist even in this time. This dialect is so old, and that’s why it’s a very significant part on the culture of the ILOCANOS. Daniw, Dallot, Dung-aw and others are the festivities that this dialect promotes. The local government advertises this festivities to the nation so that the ILOCO will be well known nationwide.

      If we Ilocanos will use our own dialect, this only show that we are proud of where we come from, what are we and who we are.

KEEP IN MIND YOUR MOTHER TOUNGE!!

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

            Saying goodbye is not an easy thing, but if it’s for your own good, just let it go… Changing for the better is worth it. Everyone appreciates what you’re doing and you can have a lot of good benefit on it.

     Through out the year, people can notice that you are having slight issues about yourself. You can never please everybody. You can’t notice it but for them your attitude and personality is a big deal. So if they tell you that you have something to change about yourself, don’t think twice to do it.

 I have been quirky in a bad way last 2011 so this 2012. I have decided that I will still be quirky, but now, its in a good way… A lot of my friends told me that I have hurt their feelings when I put a joke on them. That’s why I am changing my attitude in a good way. I really love to see my friends smiling so maybe I will still put up jokes but I will not hurt their feelings anymore.

At the start of the year, you should have strengthened your resolution so that you can easily be in touch with your new you.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW YOU!!! J

CLIMATE CHANGE

CLIMATE CHANGE

           

Can’t you notice the climate on our generation? It’s very different from the climate of the generations that have passed. In the generations that have left, the climate from January to May is warm. From June to September, it’s wet. And from October to December, it’s cold. But on our generation, the climate is unpredictable. Do you know why? It’s because of CLIMATE CHANGE.

            We are experiencing this phenomenon because of us. We lack discipline and we are exploiting our environment. We are releasing wastes that can destroy the ozone layer which protects us from the rays of sun and it also helps us to release gaseous elements which can harm the Human Raise. As years pass by, the ozone layer is becoming thinner and thinner. Scientists are very nervous because we cannot restore the damage that we have already caused. Different countries are suffering from this. They are not expecting a calamity to come but then, there it is. Like in Japan, they are having a good weather then suddenly, the ground started to shake. After some moment a big wave is going to hit the shore. Unexpected right?

            If we cannot restore the old shape of the ozone layer, maybe we can prevent it from becoming thinner. We can do it by having SELF DISCIPLINE and LOVING OUR ENVIRONMENT. Simple things like observing cleanliness, burying plastics and recycling can do a lot to retain its shape.

            If only we can all do the proper disposal of wastes, we can achieve to save our planet EARTH from this occurrence. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!
