"New Year , New Me"

       2012 --- a start of another chapter of our own lives. A season of harvest in what we sow last year.

       New Year said to be the most significant day for all of us. Many of us waited 12:00 midnight just to greet their loved ones. But the true meaning of this is -- we Christians believed that God has a purpose in everything. In times of pain and heartaches God is there to comfort us .. God will never leave us nor forsake us this year 2012..

      New Year ,, New Me -- and a New Beginning .. It is never too late for us to change what we are now for a better .. In a couple of months .. we,  seniors will soon receiving the fruits of our sacrifices we have made during our high school life .. Somehow, when I will be in another chapter of my life us COLLEGE student .. I know that it will be again hard for me,  because I will need again to adjust in my new surroundings ..

      Therefore ... We should thank God for every single day that will pass because we still have the chance to enjoy our journey .. :))   

" Keeping in mind our Mother Tongue "

           To start, Mother Tongue ??? uhmm .. not so familiar word for me but when i make a researched on that i found out that i had already the answer in my mind because i am using it everyday of my life. Mother tongue is also called as our native language.

            Here in Vigan, our own dialect is Y loco, which we are using in our conversation to other people who is from also in our place and to communicate with others.

            Why do we need to keep or bear in mind our mother tongue ??? I guess we really need to keep those in mind and think hundred times before we say something that can hurt the feelings of others. In different places they had also their own dialect that we should respect it, if we want that others will respect us we should be show respect to them.

             In some ways, our dialect may be familiar in other place because it is the same as it is in us but we have different meaning. Other dialect of us may be good for us when we heard those but in other places does not.

             So if we go to other places. Let us keep in min our mother tongue and learn to communicate also with them using their language that both of you can understand.. I can say i am really proud that i am a citizen here in Bantay .. 

"Equal Rights, Equal Oppurtunities"

           By this time, we are all accepted by who we are and what we are . Wherein every human being has the right to be born. In fact, we are have many rights since we where born. But we should always bear in mind that if we have our rights we have also responsilbilities.

           They say " Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities Progress all " and it is very true. Why? Simply because we are in democratic country where every human being is accepted whether they have different gender but still they had the right to live and to be treat as human and to be respect.

           If there is an equal treatment here in our country . A treatment without specialization . I might say that this country will become progressive. It can also lessen criticisms because they can able to show the world what they got without a special treatment.

"Responding to Climate Change"

          Climate Change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to million years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around it. Climate Change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. It also response in the global energy balance.
          The following are some information about climate change:
          Factors that can shape climate are called climate forcing or " forcing mechanisms ". These includes solar radiation, deviations in the Earth's orbit, mountain building and in continental drift. Forcing Mechanisms can be either internal or external. Internal forcing are natural processes with in the climate system itself while the external forcing mechanisms can be either natural or anthropogenic. The natural includes the increased emissions of greenhouse gases.
          Internal forcing mechanisms include ocean variability. There are 5 components of Earth's climate change - ATMOSPHERE< HYDROSPHERE CRYOSPHERE, LITHOSPHERE and BIOSPHERE. Hereare some examples of external forcing mechanisms - orbital variations, solar output, volcanism, plate tectonics and human influences.
         
          So, let us be responsible enough for the coming generation. :))

"Promoting Digital Literacy Through English Proficiency"

           As of now, we are now surrounded with many hi-technologies.

           Technologies such as computers, cellphones etc. are contributing a lot in our lives in promoting digital literacy. It is because we can many things to enhance our English grammar skills. Truly, skills are being developed when we learn how to operate the computers. It may also give us relaxation during our free time, in that, we can communicate our friends and even our relatives outside the country.

            Digital Literacy is a requirement in all universities around the entire world. It is also a big help for us students and even teachers.But we should be first digital literate in order to do this things.

"Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Club in Synergy"

           We all know that we are now facing a new era of our lives because of technologies.
            Ilocos Sur National High School celebrated the Science month with the theme "Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Club in Synergy". Many students participated in all the activities during the Science month.
   
           Chemistry is called to be the study of matter, but how can we also define the meaning of synergy? It is the process of combining two or more things to produce a newly improved product.

           Therefore, we should not forget the 3R's--REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE. In that simple way we can help our country to be more progress ..
