Changes For Climate Change...


                             Climate Change is a global problem. The impact of it  is a tremendous risk to the security and well-being of our country. We have to face the reality of climate change that it is arguably the biggest threat we are facing on today. We don’t experience  Climate change nowadays if we take good care for our nature that corresponds in our climate. We are the reasons why we are encountering lots of troubles or  always give us problems.  What are the possible ways or strategies that all of us should follow in order for us to obtain improvements for climate change?

                              Being just a student, my one step is a very big contribution in improving our climate. I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments. We should join or support citizen’s awareness promotion for changes on climate change. But the biggest step that should individuals should do and perform, have the first step on our selves, learn to  have discipline. Attending seminars or programs relevant in making steps for climate change is a great job too. What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can't even measure yet.

                          Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.

my reflection

"Look at me you may think you see Who I really am but you'll never know meEvery day it's as if I play a partNow I see if I wear a maskI can fool the world but I cannot fool my heartWho is that girl I see staring straight back at me?When will my reflection show who I am inside?I am now in a world where IHave to hide my heart and what I believe inBut somehow I will show the worldWhat's inside my heart and be loved for who I am"
This is a famous and popular song sung by a famous Filipino singer Lea Salonga.  I always remember this song specially when we talk about my reflections for this second grading period which is entitled Reflection. I can say now that I have improved things a lot specially in my academics. I have also been more active in the SSG activities of the Supreme Student Government Organization- one of my best reflection. For the Computer Class, honestly, I’ve been happier and spent lots of laughters with Ma’am Melany Queyquep for her practice teaching here in Ilocos Sur National High School. I involved Ma’am Melany in my reflections because she has been one of the clowns and friends who made me smile and cry because of great laughs. She is also one of the reasons why my knowledge was been more plenty and healthy( :D). I learned from her about Web Browser and it’s part, page address and parts which includes Protocol, Domain Name, Directory Path and Object Name. I knew that Search engine can locate relevant web sites when users enter search terms or phrases. By a request, Browser fetch the pages. I also learned the most essential web browsers where HTML, CSS or Cascading Style Sheets and XML or Extensible Mark-up Language were included.W3C or World Wide Web Consortium are the one making the Web Standards. . Thanks Ma’am for the three months you’ve been with us, “three months LANG ngem haan nga madlaw, kasla nagbayag ”. But the best and memorable lesson that I have learned for this period, I learned how to mingle with a teacher(Ma’am Queyquep) even I’m only her  student but I did not feel that she is a teacher for most of the time we are together, she performs what a sweet and loving SISTER does. SALUTE! :*

Insights For Upholding English Proficiency through Communicative Competence

                              Language proficiency or linguistic proficiency is the ability of an individual to speak or perform in an acquired language. As theories vary among pedagogues as to what constitutes proficiency, there is little consistency as to how different organizations classify it. Additionally, fluency and language competence are generally recognized as being related, but separate controversial subjects. Many good effects are available that you can get from speaking or enhancing your English speaking skills. English Proficiency helps you in landing a job. proficiency in English is a huge advantage for every job seeker, even those who have no plans of working overseas. Proficient speakers demonstrate both accuracy and fluency, and use a variety of discourse strategies. Thus, speakers of a language can be fluent without being considered proficient. It used to be that the Philippines’ biggest competitive advantage in the global job market is the proficiency of our skilled workers in the English language. This advantage, however, is fast being eroded by rising competition from other countries coupled with declining mastery of the English language by our college graduates. Things like international treaties, business contracts and so on, are written in English, because it’s an exact language. You have to have people that can speak, read and write it well. To operate at high levels, you need very good English.” When you are fluent enough in using English language, this can be a tool in upgrading your communicative skills to mingle with other people. Here and around the world, people are asking for better competency in English. Being able to get by is not enough. We are part of the global community and there is economic competition among countries in the world. Let’s face it, English is still the number one language in the entire world.

Insights for Science


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation. Energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption. Energy conservation can be achieved through increased efficient energy use, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption and/or reduced consumption from conventional energy sources. There's an absolute surety to the hands-on conservation lifestyle of hunting, fishing and trapping where you know you're going to consume today. Every time or as years passes by, science creates theme for it’sd celebration. Like now, the theme for the celebration of science month all discusses about energy conservation. The fact remains that, if the supply of energy failed, modern civilization would come to an end as abruptly as does the music of an organ deprived of wind. Maybe this theme can enlighten the minds of many people on how to be thrifty of simply to save and conserve energy for the future. I think that our cooperative conservation approaches get people to sit down and grapple with problem solving. Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day. We must have a relentless commitment to producing a meaningful, comprehensive energy package aimed at conservation, alleviating the burden of energy prices on consumers, decreasing our country's dependency on foreign oil, and increasing electricity grid reliability. Conservation of energy also protects our environment.

My Teacher. My hero


                     “If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.”  This is a famous quote made by Abdul Kalam , an Indian Statesman, which comes to my mind when the topic is about a teacher.

                      I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. Teaching is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.  When he/she  would be true to his mission and accomplish the most good, must give prominence to moral as well as intellectual instruction. The teacher that I was for a decade, and that I still am in a certain way, wondered what was meant by the word education. I was truly dumbfounded at the very thought of dealing with such an essential and extensive subject. One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.
                      The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth". An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't. It is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Teacher has a big responsibility and it’s Responsibility, educates.

She is my Hero




Throughout life, a person experiences many challenges and hardships: sometimes, we face them alone, afraid and confused. However, there's always seems to be one individual that we seek for guidance, for inspiration, or to simply to save us from our troubles.  Most of the people commonly known that heroes are defined as someone who saves lives and perform brave deeds. But we can also find heroes among us as long as you want it.

She has different and unique powers that the famously known superheroes don’t have. She has the skills and power that I need whenever  I ask for it. She contained the traits that I like in finding my hero. Many people have asked me who is my hero and  that time, I have no answers yet for them but now, I have my answers for the dilemma I have experienced for a long time. There are many chances that I have encountered  in life in writing insights about heroes but that time, I’ve been mental blocked and I don’t know what to write because I have none to be treated as my hero. She always give me comfort and love during my time of sadness and disappointments. She gave me some of her time whenever she saw my face painted as sad.  When the time came into  my life that I have done wrong things , she don’t skip time to give me advices on how to do the next step. And anytime i need advice, she does the best she can to help me,even i'm in a difficult situation. She is the one who said the everything is not a joke and things have limitations; you can’t do the things you wanted because the time now, everything is not free. She is the person that join me; when I’m sad, she will be sad too. When I’m happy, she immediately show her smile to me because she knows just how to cheer me up and  because in this world, we are together.She is the only person that i can talk to about anything, and not have to worry if she always scolds me because i accept her what she really is. I know that if i ever needed a favor form her, she would do it. She is a good role model to people around her. I honestly could not say what i would do without her being there for me and setting examples for me on how to live. She have the characteristics of a hero that's what makes her mine. From showing me how to work hard to get what I want in life, just being there when I need her most. She makes me genuine. I love having her in my life and I greatly appreciate everything she have done for me and she is the best thing I could ever ask for. 

I think,a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. But the real heroes, I believe, are those that walk among us. They can be the ordinary individuals we live with. Everyone can have their hero as long as you wish for it, as long as you are ready to treat or accept him/her as your hero: the hero that is willing to share some of her time to you: just like mine. We are always be together. My hero is that someone who made an impact in my life.  She is my hero. My mother is my hero and she was named Myrna Lopez Manigbas. Myrna Lopez Manigbas  is my hero because she is my mother.
