Reflection

Time flies so fast and third grading period is almost over and we will be proceeding for our 4^th quarter. I do hope that the laughter and lessons for this grading will continue for our final grading. Are you now are ready to face distinct challenges that will come for our final grading for this school year?

          Before we proceed for the 4th grading, let us first reminisce the 3rd grading. I am happy again and I enjoyed different activities for this grading. My internet connection is not problems anymore because every post that we post it, I’ll do it in our home so it can lessen my problem to access and post to my blog. Same through with rushing of my projects, through my little effort with doing my projects earlier than before, my problem on this lessen also.

          I hope better things will happen to me for this coming 4th grading. . I will be more creative again on the things that I may face. But in the other hand I’m not happy because we nearly living ILOCOS SUR NATINAL HIGH SCHOOL. And I think I’m not ready yet to face the college life. Let’s enjoy our high school life.

          GOOD LUCK :=)

Rebirth

      In one’s life, it has been a practice to have a New Year’s resolution. Why do we have a resolution? It is simply because we want to renew and get rid of the things that we’ve been doing that causes us to be unproductive individual.

As I welcome my journey this year 2012, I didn’t have any particular New Year’s resolution.  I just reflect on the things that I’ve done for the past year and try to make up for whatever misdoings that I have committed. I just thought that I am not getting any younger so I must have to direct myself in continuing doing good that pleases everyone especially my parents. So I must stay simple and humble all the time. I must stay away from reacting and blaming someone and I do hope that those who accepted me for who I am last year will still accept me for who I am today. I won’t forget the moments happen to me, even if they are sad moments or happy moments, they will still remain in my heart and memories and as well as those people who completed my 2011 year.

These are the things I considered to be as my resolutions. I will assure that if ever I wasn’t a good friend into my friend and a good boyfriend into my girl friend, I promise that I will try my very best to make up those things this year. I LOVE YOU ALL!!J

Mother Tongue: Mirror Of One Self

Agbiag dagiti Ilokano!!!

          Mother tongue denotes the language or the dialect of one institution. As I grow up in this world many languages I’ve heard. They say it’s a English, Tagalog, Cebuano, Bisaya and many more. But in my heart Ilocano is my language, why? Because I am a Ilocano and presently residing at Ilocos.

We should be proud of our mother tongue. In our country, it has been called the “National Language of the North.”  Many ethnic groups from the northern regions of our country use Ilocano as their dialect instead of the national language of our country which is Tagalog or Pilipino. Ilocano remains a regional language with no political power or use in education past the early elementary years.

Nowadays, English and Tagalog are noticeable to use and for preferring for the betterment of each of us. But we should bear in mind that the Ilocano dialect is our mother tongue. We should use it and we should take care of it.

 Let’s be one. Let us keep in our minds that pure mother tongue, Ilocano, is essential in fulfilling our goals in life. So say that we are proud enough that we are Ilocano!!!

A Cry For Climate Change

Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather, it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.

Because so many systems are tied to climate, a change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks.

For example, a change in the usual timing of rains or temperatures can affect when plants bloom and set fruit, when insects hatch or when streams are their fullest. This can affect historically synchronized pollination of crops, food for migrating birds, spawning of fish, water supplies for drinking and irrigation, forest health, and more.

Some short-term climate variation is normal, but longer-term trends now indicate a changing climate. A year or two of an extreme change in temperature or other condition doesn’t mean a climate change trend has been "erased.”

Worldwide, people are paying serious attention to climate change. In Washington state, climate change is already disrupting our environment, economy and communities. We can help slow it down, but we must take action now.
