They are indeed the happiest people on earth. Filipinos are the best persons. They are just really humble and super loving towards everyone. Their  culture is also extraordinary. Hospitality, they welcome you wholeheartedly and they offer all what they have, how willing they are to give everything what they have. Filipinos are very grateful and contented for the things they have.

A nation beaten by so many storms and shaken by earthquakes but amidst of those disasters, Filipinos find reasons to smile, to love, to help, to save, and to care for their fellow countrymen. Philippines , a country comprised of islands, surrounded by bodies of water. The more than seven thousand islands of the Philippine territory are promised to have beauty and natural resources. However, despite these blessings, the country’s beautiful location is also cursed because it involves catastrophic disaster. Filipinos are challenged by disasters. And they are always have a strong heart to face those challenges. “You’re just a typhoon, we are Filipinos”, ‘You’re only an earthquake, we’re Filipinos”, “You’re only a volcanic eruption, we’re Filipinos”. Those are the words you can hear by Filipinos because they are the individuals that has a lot of reasons to smile despite of those disasters stuck in their nation. Amidst of those tragedies, you can see their smiles, their happiness because they have the spirit.

Disasters can not withstand the strength  and goodness of Filipinos. Life goes on. Disasters may destroy our world but not our lives, happiness. We always see opportunities. We continue to smile, to live and above all we unify. Filipinos are just smiling at those challenges. Bounce back and keep going.

GOOD BEGINNING THAT LEADS TO A BRIGHT FUTURE

It’s been two months since the school year began. Happiness and knowledge had been send to me by my classmates, friends, and especially teachers. Most of our time was spent in school. In that case, we have a lot of learnings and the subject ICT is just extraordinary.

No question. I have a lot of things that have learned in the subject of Information and Communications Technology. In this subject it allowed me to know untold informations about internet and blogging. I knew how this said lesson works and how it was started or created. In blogging, I was able to know its types and also its advantages. Blogging helped me to improve my communication and writing skills and it also helped me to boost my confidence. I had the ability to share my opinions either my ideas and it also allowed me to see others opinion.

In the journey of this grading I can’t avoid challenges. But I can find a way to minimize them. First challenge is making a draft or article. I am a person that is not really good in writing. I have the difficulty to compose a set of informations because I have no idea what to write. So, to steer clear of this challenge, before writing or making a draft, I should research some information or ask somebody what are the things that they know on the topic so that I can gain ideas on what to write. Second is time management. Because of the first problem, I can use a lot of time to finish just a one draft or article. I admit that I am easy to be distracted by anything around me but to avoid this, I will try to focus on only one thing. I will set a deadline for every activity or requirement so that I can minimize my  time to do things.

Moving on, I will use the things that I’ve learned to develop a better practice. I hope and look forward to more exciting classes.

Wikang Kinalakihan, Sumisimbolo ng Katauhan

Saang sulok man ng mundo may isang wika na ginagamit at ito’y pinagbubuklo-buklod ang mga mamamayan. Ginagamit natin ang wika bilang daan ng ating pagkakaunawaan. Bawat taon naipagdidiriwang ang pagpapahalaga at pagbibigay pugay sa ating wika. Sa buwan ng Agosto, Wikang Pambansa ay kinikilala at ipinagmamalaki. Mahalaga ang wika sa ating sarili, sa kapwa, at sa lipunan. Napakagandang regalo na ibinigay ng Maykapal at ang wikang ito ay ginagamit rin sa pakikipag-usap sa kanya. Napaka  importante ng wika. Ang pagkakaroon ng ugnayan o mabuting samahan ay ito ang daan. Sa pagdidiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong tao, ano ang layunin ng tema?

“Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik”. Ang layunin ng temang ito ay ang pagpapalaganap sa wikang Filipino na gamitin sa pagtuturo sa Agham, Matematika at iba pang larangan ng karunungan. Ang layunin ng temang ito ay tulungan ang mga tao lalong lalo na ang mga mag-aaral dahil ang wikang Filipino ay nais na gamitin ng mga guro sa pagtuturo upang mas lalo natin itong maintindihan. Sa pagpapalawak ng kaalaman ang wikang minamahal natin ang ating gagamitin para sa ganon ay naroon parin ang magandang samahan o pagkakaunawaan ng mga mamamayan. Alam nating ang Wikang Ingles ay hindi masyadong naiintindihan ng mga estudyante. Wala silang matututunan kung wala silang naiintindihan. Mahirap maunawaan ang wikang ito. Sa limang taong pinagtanungan ko, mas pinili ng apat ang Wikang Filipino at isa sa Wikang Ingles. “ Mas madaling maintindihan” ang opiniyon ng apat at “ Paano natin matututunan ang Wikang Ingles kung hindi natin ito gamitin?” tanong ng isa. Oo, kung di natin ito gagamitin hindi tayo masasanay pero mas gugustuhin mo bang maghirap sa pag-uunawa sa iyong mga aralin at pakikipag-komunikasyon sa ibang tao? At kung gagamitin mo ito at hindi ka sanay, baka may masabi ka pang mali at ito’y magdudulot ng hin pagkakaunawaan.

Sa karangalan ng Buwan ng Wika, nais kong magbahagi ng mga katotohanan tungkol sa Wika natin. Ang “tagalog” ay nagmula sa parilarang “taga-ilog” na nangangahulugang mula sa ilog. Ginagamit rin ito sa pagtutukoy sa mga nakatira sa Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, at Gitnang Luzon. “Filipino” ang pamantayang anyo ng Tagalog na salita ng 28 milyong katao bilang kanilang unang wika, at 45 milyon bilang kanilang panglawang wika.

Napakahalaga ng Wikang Filipino. Ito ang nagiging simbolo sa katauhan ng mga Pilipino. Tayo ay tumuon sa Wikang sariling atin para mapaunlad ang bansang kinalakihan natin. Ating balikan ang ating kasaysayan at alamin kung paano nabuo ang ating wika. Buwan ng Agosto man ang Buwan ng Wika pero gawin natin itong araw-araw dahil ginagamit naman natin ito segu-segundo sa ating buhay.
