Our world is constantly changing and we must not be left behind.
For us to keep up with the fast pace of the global world, we should embrace SCIENCE CULTURE. Do you know why? Because science have helped us a lot through the past years. From the discovery of cells to the discovery of the human genome, science is continuously helping us to be a better nation.
Now in this global crisis where do we run to but science. Some may disagree with this but you see science is a double-edged blade. It can give us destruction or restoration. It just depends on how we are going to use it. Well, if we abuse the benefits we gain from science then surely it will cause destruction to the world and to us. Just like what we’re doing right now, we are abusing science that’s why we are causing so much damage to mother earth. But as what I said a while ago it’s a double-edged blade. If science is used properly, may be there’s a slight chance we can save our slowly deteriorating world. We just need the knowledge and skill to do this.
So what do you say? The choice is up to us. It’s either we embrace the diverse science culture for our development or we stick to our wrong doings and destroy our one and only mother earth.

Wikang Filipino: Mula Baler Hanggang Buong Bansa
Wikang Filipino: Mula Baler Hanggang Buong Bansa
Philippines is one of the most breathtaking places you’ll ever see. Consisting of 7,107 islands, this country, my country, promises tourists that you’ll never regret visiting. Aside from the beautiful places it exhibits, the Philippine culture will blow you away. Its culture is closely guarded by most natives from different provinces of the country. Of course with different natives there are also different dialects. Almost 80 local dialects are used in the Philippines but only one is named to be our national dialect-“Filipino”.
You see, for us to be able to communicate with one another we use Filipino. Every Pilipino uses it or at least most of the Filipinos. Go to the most northern or southern part of the Philippine Islands and for sure you’ll find someone who speaks Filipino. From north to south, east to west there’s no stopping the Filipino domination. Do you know why? Because we Filipinos, take pride of our language-our personal identity. No one uses it besides us, so if you find somebody speaking one, you’ll he’s a Pinoy. That’s why; Filipino is included in our curriculum. And sure we need to study English for our global competency but Filipino- our mother tongue will always be in our hearts. That’s the Filipino way!

My reflections on what happened in the past 2 months.
It's a start of another chapter in my life. My senior life has just got started and now I believe I have travelled one fourth of the whole journey as a senior. Yes our first quarter is nearing it's end. I can't believe I have learned so many things at a short period of time.
It's 3:10 I'm late for our class. As I arrived in the computer room,it felt so different. I only realized now that everything has changed. The layout of the room, the computers and the teacher. Our new teacher has a different way of teaching than our teachers from the past. She's more on the hands on than the talking and I like it. My favorite lesson was the history of the internet. Can you believe it? I myself can't believe too because I never liked history that much. But there's something with the history of the internet that made me so interested. May be how the US got so jealous with the USSR's Sputnik that they made their own ARPA. Well it's not only through lectures I learn things, I also learn through our "hands on". I was so impressed when I have found out about the "Hole in the wall". Really it was a story to remember.
When your adapting to changes it's normal to have some difficulties or problems. I had problems with our schedule because it was most likely to be disturbed by the different activities of the school just like one time the 1st year political rally I had to miss our class for the said program. Even our teacher sometimes missed our class because of other obligations.
For me to make up with my lessons, I borrow the notes of my classmates and asked what they talked about so I can still keep up.
Now that we're leaving our first quarter I will be as focused as I was before.

Speak in English and Filipino with Kindness
The world now is a global village. English is the language of that village. It has become the global language not merely in every land but in cyberspace. Just check out the internet. In this world everybody is learning English. The race is on to learn to English. We Filipinos can not be left behind. Everybody knows that our English proficiency gives us the competitive edge globally. And as for tagalog it will always be our mother tongue together with the other 87 major dialects we have in the Philippines. Surely, we Filipinos can learn two or more language with pride and confidence.
In connection to this campaign, our school ISNHS has this campaign with the theme"Speak to me in English or Filipino with kindness". For me it only means one thing. Being proficient or good in speaking these languages is not something to bragged but something to be proud of. We don't need to be vaunt to others who don't speak English or Filipino well. But instead help them to learn these languages to be more competitive. It would be a great honor for us to be competent in speaking both languages and it is really something to be proud of.
To all Filipinos out there we don't only need to learn to speak Filipino but English as well. There should be balance between the two. But don't forget that in everything we do, everything we say humility and respect must always be in our heart.

"Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan, Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan"
In our reilgion Roman Catholic we see life as a gift from God. It's a blessing He had given to us. And the only way we can repay Him is to live our life peacefully and meaningfully. It is also our duty and responsibility to take care of this life. How can we take care of ourselves?
One of the many things we can do is to be healthy. How can we be healthy? We can be healthy by just eating the right food and the right amount of food. How do you know the right amount of food? Well there's this magnificent food pyramid which guide us on how much we should eat foods. It shows the right proportions for every servings. We should all follow this. Remember that everything much and less is bad there should be equilibrium or balance. Next is eating the right food. the right food are the nutritious foods around us. They're very abundant but not all can have it. Why? Just because of their socio-economic status. In the lower stratum people can not afford to buy this nutritious foods, they don't really have that much choice but to buy what they can afford. Some hardly eat thrice a day. So the result-malnourished children. But for me whatever socio-economic status you have, it should not be a hindrance to a healthy body because food is our #1 commodity now. If you don't have the money, find a way to have money. As what they always say"If ther's a will, There's a way."
Is it important to us to be healthy? Yes it is. Being healthy not only physically but also emotionally, mentally and socially is significant. It keeps you away from lifestyle diseases. These diseases are caused by one's unhealthy lifestyle. If possible we should change our lifestyle like for example exercising everyday, eating nutritious foods, don't smoke and don't drink much alcoholic beverages.
In taking good care of our health we don't need to be fancy, we don't need to be rich. Because in our little ways we can already make a change and be healthy people.
So these are the things we can do for God our creator!
