"WHAT DOES IT TAKE BE AN ICT STUDENT?"

          ICT's stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purposes of this primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.” These technologies include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephony.

    When I first heard ICT I thought that this is difficult. But then, ICT is one of our subject in our school when I'm in third year I learned about the history, application and etc. about this ICT. Fourth year, we learned about how to open and make a report in blogging,movie maker, photo editing and etc. I of those I learned, so from this moment, now I say that ICT is not so difficult to learned.

     ICT is interesting, we learned more because of this. ICT help us to improve our knowledge from different type of languages and vocabularies.

"MY DREAM, MY FUTURE"

            Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called neurology.

             When we were still young, many of us have our own dream. And that dream is our inspiration when we grow older.

             When I was still a elementary student my dream is to become a nurse someday but then, when I were enter in high school life my dream is to become a accountant but when I'm in fourth year I thought that accountant is not my line. So, I say to my self that HRA is the course I want to get cause that is in my mind.

"CHANGE":It starts with me

               Everything starts from small things or an easier one. So change must starts from ourselves first.
       Days are passing while we are growing and a lot of things are changing.Change is the solution of our problem. If we want to become better and improve, we must change especially the bad things and our bad attitudes. Change can help us to reach our dreams and goals in life. As a youth I have to change a lot of things, my lifestyle and my attitude. And I hope by doing this I can say that I am a better person I will be happy and contented.

Change is also the solution to all the problems of our country that are facing right now such as corruption, poverty and many more. Our leaders should change their way in governing our country so that our country will become progressive.

Change must starts from us-youth because we are the hope of our country.

"KANNAWIDAN" ( The Ylocos Festival )

            Kannawidan is one of the best festival in Ylocos. This festival located at Vigan City Ylocos Sur. The week-long Kannawidan Ylocos Festival which celebrates the 194dr anniversary of the founding of Ilocos Sur kicks off today with a string of activities expected to draw thousands of domestic and foreign tourists.

     Kannawidan Ylocos Festival became an annual festival that aims to create awareness on the presentation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a shocase of the different agricuture and industry products.

     We celebrated Kannawidan in Ylocos Sur because this is very popular in our Province.

"NEW YEAR, NEW ME"

     Every year,we will celebrate new years day. And every year we have our own new years resolution but the others can't have. New year is the time to change ourselves in the past years.


     I say goodbye 2011, but we can not deny that we're getting old because year 2012 comes. Everybody is thinking for a better or change called "RESOLUTION", from the word "re" means "again" and "solution" means "to solve". But I can not make my resolution this year because in the past years, I can not do it well so, better I can not make my resolution this year. Even if I can not had my own new years resolution this year, I have to develop or improve myself to be a good citizen in our country, to develop my skills and to become more responsible to my works.


     So, we need to change for the goodness, develop and for the improvement of our beloved country, not only in our country but also the whole world.

"MOTHER TONGUE"

     Mother tongue is the language first learned by a person and a language from which another has evolved or in short this is the native language.

     

  This means, mother tongue is the first language we learn we were still young. Like me, when I was young, my first language is Iloco, because I live in Ilocos Sur and my parents are speaking Iloco language. So, they were the first who taught me Iloco language. However language is the greatest invention of man. Without this mother tongue we can not understand what the other people saying.

    So, if there is no language there is no communicating, understanding and developing in our country.

"CLIMATE CHANGE"

      Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth.

       Climate changes in response to changes in the global energy balance. On the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the sun and the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature and climate of Earth. This energy is then distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions. The effects of climate change are the warm weather, fire, el nino, thunderstorm, and many more.
           According to the NASA reports, that by the next 10 months, earth gets hotter by 4 degrees from now. Himalayan glaciers are melting at rapid rate. Our climate is changing drastically and it's getting worst.

        So, we have to protect our environment for us not to suffer this calamities or disaster. And we must help fight Global Warming by plant more trees, don't waste water, water is precious, use cloth bag instead of plastic.

"Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress For All"

            IN order to build a great democratic, just, fair and humane society, it is of utmost importance to arouse the broad masses of our people to join the struggle that will ensure "equal rights, equal opportunities and progress for all".

            Genuine equality between women and men, girls and boys can only be realized in the process of a just, fair and humane transformation of our society as a whole. There is need to educate ourselves and others to take a more correct view of women and to actively redress the injustices done to women in all our institutions - the Church, state and family. Women are a backbone of our families and play major roles in our economy, especially in rural areas. The life and health of women are of central importance to the future development of our nation. This being the case, the calls for the true empowering of women to enable them to participate in decision making in our society need to be heeded. And men should be more involved in promoting women's rights. Advancement will not go very far unless women and girls are enabled to enjoy the same rights and opportunities as men and boys. Women must be represented at decision-making levels in both economics and politics, to sustain ably achieve development goals. Women also have the right and duty to take part in the political and administrative work of our nation. Women possess full equality and dignity and have a significant role to play in the affairs of our country. Woman is the creator of a courage that will never abandon the suffering. Woman is more defenseless physically. This fact points out the singular barbarity of their being subjected to domestic violence and to the criminal activities of rapists. It shows that barbarity for what it is.

            This realization demands a total rupture with the prevailing patriarchal system in order to build an egalitarian society. The women's struggle is deeply connected with efforts of all the poor who are struggling for their uplift in all aspects of life.

"Reflection"

                         They say that I.C.T. is easy but for me is not totally easy because I haven't no idea about this. Second grading period of I.C.T.-IV is over but, still I am not contented, I am not satisfied for my performances.

            I was very busy in this grading period because of  many activities like the GSP. So, sometimes I can not attended my   classes in I.C.T. and sometime I can not concentrate in my study. Day by day when ma'am Vera Cruz saw me she told me to do my blogs before the second grading ends. So, by this time only this reflection I can do now, then later on I finished all my blogs in second grading period of I.C.T..

          Because I.C.T. is very important, through this we get more information about what we want to know in our country not only in the Philippines but also in the world. I hope that next grading period of I.C.T. I will do better than this grading.

"PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH ENGLISH PROFICIENCY"

              English proficiency is the ability to speak, read and/or write in English to be considered truly proficient, one should have advance abilities in all three areas of communication. English also is a universal language.
              Nowadays, we are now using computers,cellphones, laptops, i pods, and many more. Through these things, we communicate to everybody. because through text, call, and even online websites like facebook, twitter, yahoo, and many more social sites. even if without these websites, there are also many games and application in computers which is installed. they are also helpful for us to build our vocabulary.
              So, we should use the English language in communicating our friends or what so ever. We should learn to use the English language in our daily lives especially if we go to other country or places. So, let us promote the digital literacy through English proficiency.

CHEMERGY: CHEMISTRY AND SCIENCE CLUB IN SYNERGY

             All these days, our world are now in the world of technology, we said. And we say that many of our needs are made up of technology. This means, technology is applied science. So, science contain may parts like chemistry. That means, chemistry is science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and it is the composition and chemical properties of a substances. Science is a branch of systematic study especially of the physical world. Synergy is synergism-interaction of different things so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of individual effects.
             Chemistry help us to improve our daily lives, it can give us to do work for our everyday life. We are all scientist because science can not create without us. When we can not do things like high technology like computers and other related to chemistry. we can not called this science. Because of us we developed our environment  to become more uplift our country.
             So, we should give importance about science because it helps our minds to learned and develop our skills or to improved our skills to discover all about everything.

"MY TEACHER, MY HERO"

            Education is one of the greatest gift that a person can ever receive, which is very important to anybody. A teachers' role becomes very significant since they are considered as one of the nation builders. The failure or the success of the nation lies on them.

            "A teacher is like a candle that burn itself to light the way of others". Teachers serve as the second parent of students so they should have the qualities of a role model person for us to become a better one in the future. They motivate us to be productive and responsible citizen of our country.

            I love my teachers and I am very proud of them because they guide and teach me to hone my skills and talents, to become a disciplined person, to respect others especially in taking care of my family and friends. They are ready to lend their hands in times of need, even if their students cannot cope up with their lessons, pass the activities, assignments and projects on time they can still understand and have been considerate. We can tell and trust our problems to them and ready to give pieces of advice. They inspire us to strive for our goals. 

            So, it is right to give due recognition to the endless sacrifices, dedication, commitment and hard work that our teachers are giving us, not only during "Teachers Month Celebration" but all through out. "MY TEACHERS ARE MY HEROES".

MODERN DAY HERO

                Many people, ordinary heroes have their own capacities to save the needy. Modern day heroes are not find but we can saw them. Modern heroes are those who are give a opportunity to the people who needs help.
               For me, parents are one of the hero in our country because thet can work hard for the needs of their children and they give all what they can do for the good and care the family so that the family they can built will become happyu forever. Artist also, are considered as one of the heroes. If the artist have a good heart or blessing that they have, they can also share it like giving donations for the needies. Tricycle drivers or any kind of drivers like buses, vans or jeepny's in our country are honest because if there are passanger lost their things on the cars, the driver of that car gave it to the owner of that thing or he gave it to the radio media to found who was the owner of that thing.

STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS

          State of the Nation address is an event in the Republic of the Philippines, which the President report on the status of the Nation. This is done on July 25, 2011.

      All Filipino's watched the State of the Nation Address (SONA) of our President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino. We have heard again about the "wang-wang" that he include on his (SONA) again. That wang-wang had come to symbolize abuse of autority. It was routinely use by public officials of violate traffic laws, in conniencing and no one else's mattered. Instead of behaving like public servants, they acted like kings. This privilege was extended to their cronies and patrons, who moved along the streets as if they were aristocracy, independent to those who were forced to give way and left behind. Abusing privilege despite promising to serve this is the wang-wang mindset; this is the mindset of entitlement.

          He tooked also about education, for the good of our schools. For us, like me a student, this is very important that we had heard the SONA of us to knew how could he support our schools in our county.

ISULONG ANG BREASTFEEDING TAMA, SAPAT AT EKSKLUSIBO

         They say that, "BREAST MILK IS THE BEST FOR BABY". So that, breast milk is the nutritious milk for baby, because this milk is came from a mother. A baby will become healty, and strong because of the mother's milk. If the mother eat nutritiuos food the baby will become bigger and the weight will become heavier. And when the mother give her baby a right food, the baby become more healthy and active. If a mother fed her baby, the mother give support to her baby if she would do that. But now a day many mother don't do this because of the products produce by many company's in our country or the commertial milk.
          Breast milk is very important because the babby will prevent many diseases. The mother also save money if her own breast milk give to her baby.
