True Essence of Christmas

      It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time of the year where everyone's happy, blessed and loved. It's the only time of the year where everyone will gather and be jolly. It's the time when God was born .

      What is the true essence of Christmas? J. C Penney wrote, 'Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.' Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period which is the love of God for humanity. Some may have planned to marry this year, to buy a new car or to move into their new apartment. We should count ourselves lucky to be alive to see this Christmas . An another year that's ending. This should be a period of gratitude to God for sparing our lives and counting us among the living . It should equally be an opportunity for us to mend our ways with God so that we will not be found wanting.

        The true spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing .

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities.

      Every human being was created equally. Equal rights, freedom, and love. We should show respect to others and also self-respect. We are obligated to be kind to one another and to love each other. Love everyone not hurt each other because that's the right thing to do.

      In this century where everyone are free frik doing what they want, there arrare still harassments and discriminations going on. We are free from evil and cruelty in the past. We should have our own rights because every human being was given the rights to choose what they want and what they love. God has given us our own rights because that's part of our existence in this world full of cruelty, judgment and injusticeinjusticeinjustice. Each and everyone of us was given rights that's supposed to be equal. We deserve equal rights because we are all human that God created. From that time that he created us, he gave us our rights and as we grow, he gives us many opportunities. We should be thankful in that but now that the world is changing, we can't feel the equality in everything. Equal rights, equal opportunities and also the gender equality.

        We have the right to have our own equal rights and get equal opportunities because we are all human after all. We all have rights and opportunities and it should be serve equal.

Children, Our Future!

            Dr. Jose Rizal once said that "Ang kabataan ay ang pag-asa ng bayan", in this connection, every child, youth, can be the future leaders, future heroes of our nation. Taking care of them and giving them their rights can make it possible.

            The wealth of a nation is not so much in its economical and natural resources but it lies more decidedly in the kind and quality of the wealth of its children and youth. It is they who will be the creators and shapers of a nation's tomorrow. The children of today will be adults of tomorrow. Today's leaders and activist. Their quality and personality will determine the kind of destiny that beakons the nation. The youth of a nation is it's power-house. They have boundless stores of energy, will, capability, zeal, and enthusiasm and have the power to mold the destiny of the nation. This infinite storehouse of energy has to be given appropriate direction. The youth has to be trained to use their talents and abilities in constructive ways and help in nation-building and strengthening of it.

           The best way to engage the youth into playing such a constructive role is ti educate them with proper training in the desired direction.

         Nowadays, many people are using gadgets for a living. Because of this, some people are addicted to gadgets and can't live without it. But why can't we understand that using gadgets every time can destroy our health and especially communications and relationships?

         According to a study, a child will likely to become overweight and develop seizure and vision problems when they spend too much time using gadgets. Negative effects and excessive use of gadgets such as mobile phones, tablet, and computer desktops can cause physical and mental damage to the users especially children. Gadgets can really help us in some ways but not always. Students can take advantage of it because of school but it also has an disadvantage because of its excessive use. Everyday, when you walk along the street, when you go everywhere, you see people using phones, gadgets. Our technology is now more advanced than before, many inventions have been released. This inventions are keeps on upgrading that's why many people are using and buying it. Using gadgets every time means our communications to each other weakened, true that in using gadgets we can communicate but not personally. We can't enjoy being together and communicate because we are just using our gadgets. Our relationship won't grow because our communication is weak. Not just our  communications to other people but to our dear Lord. Some can not even go to church on Sundays because they choose to stay at home and play on their gadgets. This is a warning that we should not tolerate the excessive use of any gadgets.

        It's not like we can stop using it forever, I know that this can't be removed in our life but we should know how to control using it because it can damage our health and our communications to people and to our Lord.

     As a student, I am aware that studying can give us a good future. It can change our life as we grow, learn, and continue our life and our future. This can lead us to become successful and happy.

       The theme promotes the love for reading and it's importance to the lifelong process of learning among Filipino learners. It is an endless learning and an endless journey that we take until death. Every day, we keep on learning different things and that will remain on us. Studying, reading and learning gives us courage to learn more and study hard so that our future will be good. If our future will be good, we can provide our needs in our daily life and we can be happy. If we are happy, we can also be contented. We can be contented in what we are capable of because of what we learned and what we will be learning, we can be contented in what we can be if we'll study hard. Being educated and having the power of education is the only treasure our parents can give us. Being ready in the future is a good choice than wasting times doing nothing, it is like wasting the best part of your life. To be able to study in this 21st century means a great opportunity because we are aware and we know that not all children and youth are given the chance to study because of poverty.

Just remember that learning new things will always be a challenge for us. Study and and let's do our best so that we can prove that studying can give us what we want and can give us a better, good and a successful future.

REFLECTION

   In our second quarter lessons, I have learned a lot of things like the use of the tags and of course the use of them that I always use but not knowing the things that are related to it. It teaches me how to use it properly and I also learned that every tags we use has its different use, make sure that it is properly used. I learned the use it properly and learned its meaning. I have learned a lot of things in our second quarter lessons because our teacher also helps us understand it more even though we don't have enough time to study our lessons.

The problems/challenges that I have encountered is that I am not aware of those tags that is important in an HTML document, I am not familiar about those things. I think most people are just like me. We don’t care if it can cause damages or problems to our devices, we just use it and that’s all.

In learning our lessons about tags, I have known a lot of things about it and how to use it properly. Now that I have learned the right things, I make sure that i can apply it properly and correctly. I don’t just type it and then go. I am much aware that it can affect my documents if I’m doing the wrong things. I have learned my lessons.

Moving on, I will continue to do what I have learned in the second quarter of ICT 10. It is a helpful lesson because it teaches not also me but all of us on how to correctly and properly apply the tags that are supposed to be used. This will help me more on doing the right things on the HTML documents.
