Wika Natin ang Daang Matuwid - Buwan ng Wika 2013

         

            Every country has its own language, here in the Philippines, we have the Filipino Language. This is our main language. And through this, we understand each other. And because of this, a communication is formed, which is very important in every nation.

           Si Fidel V. Ramos, dating presidente ng Republika ng Pilipinas ang siyang nagtakda ng buwan ng Agosto bilang "Buwan ng Wika". Nais niyang pahalagahan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino ang ating wika at ang mga aktibidades na sinasakupan ng nasabing pagdiriwang. Kapansin-pansin nga naman kasing paunti-unti na ang mga mamamayang tumatangkilik sa wikang ito. Iniisip nila na kung ang wikang banyaga ang kanilang gagamitin ay magiging mataas ang tingin ng ibang tao sa kanila. Tama naman sila hindi ba, ngunit ito rin ay maling pananaw ng isang mamamayan.

            This Filipino language is important to improve the quality of a country. But it is not bad to use or speak in other languages, just don't turn back and forget our own language. Don't be ashamed of our own language. Be proud of it! Use it wherever you are.

Reflection -

           During the first grading period, I was really nervous and at the same time, excited of my ICT subject. I cannot explain why, because I myself do not know what the reason is. 

          There are these certain things that I learned in my ICT class. For example, I learned how to manage my Google account. I really had my account even before Mrs. Vera Cruz told us to have our own. The only problem is, I do not really had that idea on how to use it. But because of the help of our teacher, I already had known how to use it. And I even enjoyed using it! I discovered that through this social networking site, I can gain more friends. Also, I can express myself through it.

          Also, when the month of July came, we were all excited because of the competitions that the TLE and STEP Club will held. Guess what, I joined the Cook Fest! I discovered that I can cook even if I am under pressure. I know that we will not win because the judges are searching for a nutritious food which does not cost too much. But it is just okay for me because I know that our food is delicious and some teachers even asked the recipe of our food. ( Squash Chocolate Cake )

          Nutri - Jingle 4th year Eliminations. We're nervous and we feel that we will not qualify. Since 1st year, neither of the 2 Science sections won the Nutri-Jingle Finals. My classmates really want to win this said competition. We practiced, made our props and everything! 

         At the Eliminations round, we ranked 2nd. It is a great gift from God! And I learned that a great team work is really important in things or situations like this. 

          We had a hard time practicing our jingle for the Grand Finals. Some of the participants are not cooperating. Some also are that confident already. And because of that we cannot focus. When the Grand Finals came, we all prayed to the Lord. Yes, ALL of us. We asked for His guidance. And again, we ranked 2nd! We are really fortunate. 

          All these challenges, we faced them. And fortunately, we did not give up. We survived!

         

      

PNoy's 4th State of the Nation Address

          President Benigno Simeon Aquino III had his SONA last July 22, 2013 at 4:00 PM, at the Plenary Hall of Batasang Pambansa.

          He started his SONA by giving his gratitude to all Filipinos who supported his administration. And he told all the projects they had done to improve our economic status. Examples are the rising GDP (Gross Domestic Product) rating from 6.8% to 7.8%, the addition of families helped by the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Project), having the K+12 education system to increase the educational quality, and the like.

          But even there are these projects successfully made, there are this issues that really caught PNoy’s attention. He even used really strong word to warn government officials and civil servants that are corrupt. they made his patience run out.

          He had a nice SONA this year because he became a tough guy (in a good way) because of he's brave to even name the departments that made a really big mistake that also affected innocent people.

also, this year's SONA which lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes was the longest one he had since he was proclaimed the Philippines' president.
