Reflection

                   

                     I gained knowledge through experience and in this quarter not only our lessons I am learning but also different factors that help me to build myself and enhance my skills. No pain, No gain. Before we took this topic, which is blogging, I thought its hard for me to learn this kind of lesson though I'm familiar to this. But when our teacher started to discussed this lesson I found out that it's good to learn so I participated well. Everyone can create their blog, everyone can share and post their opinions. At this grading, I learned how to create and post blogs. In other subjects, I learned a lot. The subjects Math and Physics is the most difficult subjects for me. 

                   As a student, we should balance our studies, the academics and extra curricular activities. There's only one problem that I always encounter since when I'm still in first year and this is on how I will manage or balance my time. Mostly, I missed our lesson because of doing some activities, sacrificing what we can learn from that day. It's hard to cope up on the lessons you missed. 

                   Learn how to be independent and learn to understand our lessons by our own, that's our responsibility when we were not able to attend the discussion. Be responsible enough and have a discipline, that's the right thing  to do and the only one that will help you.

                  First grading has ended. Second grading has come. Time flies so fast. I know, this grading I can still gain more knowledge, more experiences, more unforgettable moments and more opportunities that will come. We must move on and welcome the next chapter. 

                   

SONA 2014 Reaction

                    President Benigno S. Aquino III delivered his fifth State Of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 28, 2014, in the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa, Quezon City.

                   The State of the Nation Address of President PNoy started at 4:03 PM (PST) and concluded after one hour and 30 minutes. The SONA 2014 is one of the highly anticipated date of the administration, as the head of state reports his accomplishments and plans for the country. During the entire SONA, the President received a total of 85 rounds applause. He represented the beneficiaries and recipients of the called "tuwid na daan". Many of which are really true, but the desperate question of his "Boss" (the Filipino people) is "How many among the 90 million Filipinos felt the love and the comparison of the Aquino government? How many are the chosen ones?" Many are still waiting, aiming and hoping for the warmth and sincere touch of the government.

                   Towards the last part of his SONA, Aquino's voice broke and he appeared close to tears while recalling the memory of his parents, slain Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. and the late President Cprazon Aquino. The President mentioned one og the famous lines of his father :The Filipino is worth dying for, the Filipino is worth living for" and he added, "The Filipino is definitely worth fighting for".

                 The Filipino people could not just believe in whatever you say now. Please show us how a good and sincere Aquino government could change and transforms our life. We couldn't see any light now, all we an witness is political war, political instability, one against the other. We need to see, witness and experience the real transformation. 

"Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan"

                  Nutrition Month is the annual campaign held every July to create greater awareness on nutrition among Filipinos. The 2014 Nutrition Month Theme, "Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan" focuses on nutrition on emergencies aims to provide rhe venue for the general public to realize the importance of preparedness during emergencies, how to respond and what recovery measures can be taken to prevent death and worsening of malnutrition of affected population groups.

                   We are in this modernize world now and we can't deny the fact that one of the problems we are facing today is malnutrition. Nutrition Month Celebration is a great help for us Filipino people because it gives us greater awareness on nutrition. It reminds us that every individual can contribute a little help by a little action. Try to imagine this, there's a calamity and some people suffering that calamity is unhealthy or let's say that they are malnourished and they need foods, how can we solve that problem? There's only one thing we should do, let's help them, let's help one another, there's only one word, SHARING. Sharing one another can prevent malnutrition, helping one another can prevent calamities.

                    TOGETHER, let's prevent calamities and malnutrition. Practice sharing, practice helping, together we can survive. Let's celebrate, let's participate and let's cooperate for the Nutrition Month.

A Letter to the President of the Philippines

H.E. President Benigno "Noynoy" S. Aquino III
Malacañang Palace
Manila, Philippines

Dear President,

                    Allow me to extend my gratitude to you and your impending victory. This victory is celebrated as a nation's triumph. I know that you have a good heart and intentions when you ran for presidency. However, good heart and good intentions alone does not necessarily make an effective leader.

                   It's your destiny and God-given opportunity to continue what your parents failed to finish. Your persona and your simple living and your common-sense-pronouncements have inspired the Filipino people to dream high and converted an indifferent and a political citizenry to get involved their own. Your simplicity resonates well among our people and millions of Filipinos.

                    We are writing a letter  to let you know that "Noynoy you're not alone in your dreams for our Country." We are with you in spirit and prayerfully desire to help you administrations and in any way or manner possible for you to achieve your dreams  for a better Philippines. You are facing a daunting task. Our country is sick, heal the sickness. Our nation is flawed, accept the flaws. Our culture is diverse, embrace that diversity. The blood of greatness still runs in every Filipino's veins, it just needs the right leadership and inspiration to unlock the dormant giant in all of us to propel our country to greatness.

                    God Bless You and our beloved country, our very own Philippines, as you start a very challenging six years as a President. May he continue to grant you the necessary wisdom in every decision you make. Provide the inspiration, the moral leadership and we Filipino's will follow.

Sincerely,
Fritzy Pearl P. Abad
