New Year, New Attitudes, New Me
New Year!!! New me!!!
Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012. It is already New Year. We can’t deny that we have made some resolutions for this New Year. Maybe, we have already decided to do or stop doing something.
In some dictionaries, New Year is defined as the first day or first few days of a calendar year. All of us know that is widely celebrated all over the world as a public holiday, January 1.
I considered 2012 as a lucky year for me. I considered it as a time for a fresh start. I decided to change something in myself especially my attitudes and even my looks. Last year, I noticed that I became so lazy in doing my works and responsibilities. I became addicted to computer games. I became irresponsible. Now, I want that these attitudes will now be changed. I want a new Dean. I want to change for the betterment of myself. I want to be more responsible this year.
I promised to myself that I will do everything just to fulfill my goals. I can do whatever others can do. I can change myself.
Keeping in Mind my Mother Tongue
Ilokano nak!!!
Ilocano is an Austronesian language of the Philippine type spoken by about ten million people. It is a member of the Cordilleran language family which comprises the languages of the Northern Luzon.
We should be proud of our mother tongue. In our country, it has been called the “National Language of the North.” Many ethnic groups from the northern regions of our country use Ilocano as their dialect instead of the national language of our country which is Tagalog or Pilipino. Ilocano remains a regional language with no political power or use in education past the early elementary years.
Nowadays, it is noticeable that some of us prefer to use English or Tagalog. We should bear in mind that the Ilocano dialect is our mother tongue. We should use it. We should be proud of it. We should love and respect our own dialect.
Let’s be one. Let us keep in our minds that pur mother tongue, Ilocano, is essential in fulfilling our goals in life.
The Essence of Christmas
“Ang pasko ay sumapit. Tayo ay mangagsiawit ng magagandang himig dahil sa Diyos ay pag-ibig. Nang si Kristo ay isilang. May tatlong haring nagsidalaw at ang bawat isa ay nagsipaghandog ng tanging alay. Bagong taon ay magbagong buhay ng lumigaya ang ating bayan. Tayo ay magsikap upang makamtan natin ang kasaganaan.”
Christmas is fast approaching. It is the birth of our Dear Jesus.
We cannot deny that materialism has already diminished the real essence of Christmas. We cannot deny that Christmas has been trivialized into Santa Claus, his reindeers, Christmas lights and trees and lots of toys and goodies to bring cheer to humankind on this festive holiday season.
It is nice to say that most of the Filipinos value the spirit and traditions of Christmas. We still look at Christmas as a period of preparing for the coming of God into the Earth by transforming himself into a human being.
As we approach the actual coming of our Savior, let us reflect how we have, individually and collectively, been preparing ourselves in mind, body and spirit, for this joyful and spiritually reinvigorating moment in our predominantly Catholic nation. Have we allowed ourselves to be fooled by the lies, deceptions and machinations of power, material wealth, influence and even the pride of being more smart and knowledgeable than our fellowmen?
Let us love our neighbors. Let us forgive those people who have sinned to us. Let us help the poor. Let us shower the world with love and happiness. Let us all humble ourselves in the eyes of God just as His Son Jesus came into our lives.
Equal Rights and Opportunities to All
“Equal rights, Equal opportunities.”
It’s just a short quotation yet meaningful and sententious to us.
Let us first understand what rights are and what opportunities are. Rights are the particular works and events that we are authorized to do or to perform. On the other side, opportunities are our favorable times and situations for doing something.
All of us have the rights and opportunities. We are all equal. God made us with equal rights and equal opportunities. For example, if he/she has the right to be educated, you have also the right. If he/she has the right to love and to be loved, you have also the same right. If he/she has the opportunity to be successful someday, you have also the same opportunity. Let’s think. If others can do, you can also do. If others have the right and opportunity, you also have the same right and opportunity.
But nowadays, we can’t deny that there is a discrimination taking place. Some people have no rights. Some people have no opportunities. Some have the rights and some have the opportunities.
Do you want that this situation will take place? Let’s move and be one. But let us bear in mind that all of the things in the world have limitations even our rights and opportunities.
We Can Make Differences
“There is nothing permanent in this world except change.”
All of us can make a change. We can make differences that may improve ourselves. These differences can make us successful someday.
Our country is now suffering from many problems such as poverty, criminality and others. We can’t deny that our country is going worse. We should now move. We should do something to save our country. We should make some changes and differences. But the question is, what differences can we make?
We should change our bad attitudes and habits. We should be a good citizen or our society. We should be responsible to what we are doing. Let us think first before we act. We should think what is better not only for ourselves but for the people around us.
I can make differences. I can do good things. I can help improve our society.
The Great Impacts of Climate Change
Climate Change is of the greatest issues here in the world. It is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to million of years. It may be a change in the 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.
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.
Greenhouse effect became famous due to climate change. Scientist and experts said that our ozone layer has already a hole which is as big as one of our continents. The heat of the sun directly enters our planet’s atmosphere. But the heat from the Earth is being trapped that’s why we can feel the effect.
We should move now. We should plant more trees. We should help DENR, and some concerned groups. We should reduce, reuse and recycle.
