Hamon ko sa Iyo

Wika ay parang goma ng walis ting-ting. Ito ang nagbubuklod sa walis upang linisin ang kapaligiran.

Isang halimbawa ng naiduot ng wika ay ang pagtigil sa panahon ng diktatoryal at pagpapasimula ng demokrasya. Ang sandantatang ginamit nila ay ang People Power. Nagkaisa at nagkaintindihan ang mga tao dahil sa paggamit ng ating sariling wika - ang Filipino. Milyong - milyong tao ang sumugod upang patalsikin ang pangulo ng diktatoryal - si Pangulong Marcos at sila'y nagtagumpay.

Ang wika ang nagpapaisa sa atin upang linisin ang kapaligiran. Makakaya nating puksan ang korapsyon, ang kahirapan, ang kagutuman, at kahit na ano mang balakid sa pagtupad ng ating mga minimithi, na ibasura ang mga dumi ng ating kinabibilangan - Pilipinas.

Kaya hamon ko sa iyo, gamitin mo ang wikang Filipino. Maghikayat ng iba at gamitin ito. Dahil ang wika natin ang daang matuwid sa malinis na Pilipinas.

First Grading ICT: A Reflection

          I heard this year, we will learn how to make our own website in our subject. This made me excited to attend our ICT class. I learned this grading that the history of Internet very fast, I mean almost every year from 1957 until now there are advancement of Internet technology that are popping up. From the launched of SPUTNIK, to the building of Galactic Network, to the formation of ARPANET changing its name to Internet until now. I also learned the components of the internet, how web servers and web browsers work together, and how one find a web site. Our teacher also discussed the data types found in the internet. She also discussed about the parts of a browser, how world wide web works, how browser fetch pages, and the part of Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Domain names and its levels were also discussed. We were also thought  about blogging and its types.

           In this grading, we only have few meetings because the months of this first grading were for the STEP and TLE club, that's why our teacher have many appointments to do. Plus the time consuming Nutri-Jingle Contest that we have participated, plus meetings of CAT's and COLT's, the result was when our teacher was present to teach us, we were not around, but when our teacher has something to do, we were there to attend. That's why our lessons were slightly discussed. This was the biggest problem for me, because the First Periodical Test was near.

           In that case, the easiest thing for me to do is to discuss with my self with the internet for me to easily memorize my notes. I applied it to reality for me to understand everything, how it works, and also to familiarize myself to the different parts of the browser.

LACK!

         President Aquino said "Nabura na po ang minana nating kakulangan sa libro at upuan" on his State of the Nation Address last July 22.

           As a student, I see that there are still great lack of books and chairs. An example, we have ten subjects but we only hold one book. Is this "bura" for you?

          If there are really books bought, we hope that this be given to us as early as possible and we also hope we can use this. I see books stocked because teachers found that some don't give correct detail, some lack lessons.

            I hope that you will solve this if your real intention is to lift up the education here in Philippines.
