Reflection

   Had many expectations. But only few were brought to action. First of all, I loved it when our fourth and final grading has discussions in them. But, the one who discussed was only the practice teacher of Ma'am, but I really want Ma'am to Discuss topics to us end attend us all the time.I just wish her next students will have loads of discussions unlike us.

  

The Future Me

   Some people my age have no idea where they want to go from high school. I on the other hand, have most of my future already planned out based off of goals, hopes, and dreams. Knowing what I want to do with my life relieves a lot of stress and worry. I have no idea where I’m going to go, but at least I know how I want to get there. I know my college goals, how I want my lifestyle to be and what I want to do with my free time.

   My future is what I’m going to do in my spare time. One hobby I have is writing, like I said earlier. Writing for me is like documenting all the important times in my life worth remembering and how I feel about them. If I get a degree in that, it’d be even better because I could have a job doing something I do all the time anyway. I really want to travel a lot when I get older too. England is the main place I want to go to, I’d love to live there for a few years just for the experience. I’m in love with their culture, the fun fashion, the acceptance of people who are different and of course, the accents. Also they have really beautiful historic buildings with interesting stories. I’ll have to visit Wisconsin often too, since some of my family will still live here, even if I still have a strong hatred for this place. One last thing, I’d like to have an exciting social life, and fun people to share good times with. My best friend will probably be left out of those new experiences because she doesn’t want to leave home which will be a huge challenge for me. We’ve done everything together since we first became friends, she’s like my twin. On the bright side, maybe it just adds even more adventure to it if I’m forced to do it on my own. I think, no matter what happens to me, my future will be very exciting and I’ll never have to follow a boring routine.

   So that’s what I want my life to be like all wrapped up, I want to reach my goals in college, live my dream lifestyle, and keep up with the hobbies and pastimes I have always loved. A spontaneous, yet laid back life is perfect for me. Do you know what you want to do with your life? Or did you, and did it turn out as you had hoped or expected?

Change Starts in Me

     The Earth supplies our needs but never asks something in return. The Earth has always been our home. There is no planet like the Earth. Without the Earth we have no where to live, along with many other organisms. If we don't save the Earth now maybe our children or grandchildren might not be able to see it for long. Our atmosphere is weakening and we have to do something about it fast. 

We could plant more trees to create more oxygen to keep the bad air away from the atmosphere, or we could just stop cutting down the rainforest. We are living and we need the space but we aren't the only species on this earth. Saving the rainforest is not only good for us and the atmosphere but also good for the many different species that it homes.

We could try to get as many people as possible to switch to hybrids and other energy saving things to use less fossil fuel for energy and relying more on solar and wind energy. Fossil fuels are destroying our earth and we need to limit the use of it.

Recycling is a great and easy way to help our precious planet. Everyone can help, all they have to do is follow three simple rules; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! 

The world is precious and we need to keep it that way.

Kannawidan Festival

         Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos. 
             This festival is very significant to every resident in the province as they are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as a province by virtue of the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818.
Ilocos Sur especially Vigan is branded as the Heart of Ilocandia by the Philippine Historical Committee. It’s a province very rich in culture and heritage. Kannawidan means traditions and this province got to showcase all what she has. On January 31 to February 6, 2011 several activities were lined up for the celebration.

      Celebrating this festival is really enjoyable. We all get to see the products of each and every town and city of Ilocos Sur. 

New Year, New ME?!?

          Change is good. Change is nature.

        Every country has their own holiday system. Different countries have different holidays. There are also some common holidays that people celebrate around the world, such as Christmas and New Year. Different countries have their own definition of the New Year. Therefore, they celebrate their own.

        New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar also used in ancient Rome. In countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, it is a public holiday, often celebrated with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts.
        
        They all have their new year, new me every end of the year. While me? i don't think so. Because if i change myself now? it would take my personality with it.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

REFLECTION

The Third Quarter has ended. And last time I'd hope for more "activity" in our class. More discussions and more lessons learned. But somehow it ended up slightly the same as the second grading period. This time i had a low score again in the Periodic Exams, but its OK. The class itself is not that serious so its pretty hard for me to be serious also. But, I'm still looking for improvements though, I'll try to adjust to the slow flow of our ICT class. I'll try, I'll try. and maybe just maybe, I'll enjoy it too! Just the way it is. The slow flow and all, maybe, just maybe :)



EQUALITIES!

Many past and existing human societies have listed equality either as a fundamental aspiration or as an achievement. However, no such claim is free of detractors or critics, and the lack of demonstrable progress toward equality among humankind is truly remarkable. Even as these founding books of the Society are being written, the debate about whether it is possible for equality between individuals to exist at all, let alone whether or not it has ever been achieved in any form of human society, remains open. In the light of that long lack of success, no discussion of the views of the Society of Human Kind on the subject can be either simple or short.

On this issue the Society of Human Kind rests on the Axioms and Dogma. The First Axiom says that chance accounts for the origin of our species. The Treatise on Knowledge extends the application of that Axiom to include the range and nature of the characteristics and attributes of humanity. Such absolute uncertainty about both our origins as a species and our attributes as individuals leaves the Society with no basis for any assumption that mere common membership of the human species implies, or gives rise to, equality between individuals. The Society must therefore find its ground or justification for equality elsewhere.

However consider the fact that there are thingsen can do and and women can't also in vice versa. Consider that we can not live without one another but must avoid racism.
