The Essence of Christmas

This Christmas the gift of giving is much seen on us. And we are also prepairing for it. Lanterns hanged everywhre in the streets. Christmas trees displayed in our homes. Christmas parties and gift givings, but why do we do such things? We are dealing with these things because this is our way of celebarating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of our God Who created everything that exists. Carollings outside houses or stablishments are though seen. These days we often go praying in the “9 Simbang Gabi,” because some of us Filipino's believe that if we have completed these days, we are granted for a wish. There are such ways on how we share our blessings throughout the year.

Ussually, on this days that our country is suffering from many calamities such as earthquakes and many typhoons the gift of giving is much seen. As the typhoon Yolanda hit Visayas, many were devastated and they can't merely earn for their living. They are just depending on the donations coming from the government and some countries that lend their hands for the survivors. Many died, but stil we Filipino's always make sure that we are united. Some advertised some adds or sell some things for them to help. Even a street boy gladly donated two pesos he earned. Even it is just simple, this became as an encouragement for the survivors.

The essence of christmas is giving, without expecting any as return. May you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Equal Rights Equal Opportunities

OPEN YOUR EYES WIDE

          Nowadays, discrimination, illegals, bullying, were experienced by many. It is so shame that some don’t really respect other’s rights. We do have a democratic country, where we, common people are considered as the primary source of political power. We have our own part in the election of the president for example. but some votes are being useless because of the corruption among those crocodiles who only wanted for their sake, using the money of our government workers.

          In the hiring for jobs, there is something very common to us Filipino’s; it is “palakasan,” in Filipino. How can we have equal opportunities here in our country if in such a way there is always corruption, discrimination's on some? And those that ranked first in crimes are some policemen? Where they were should be our called protections into our rights and opportunities. Justice on court or everywhere can be sold. How can we reveal the truth if always we that are weak are just being stepped on by these corrupts, and we victims always fear at them for we can’t fight for the justice? Also on the children, their rights are being forsaken. There are child labours, kidnappings adultery, rape everything happens, where these children don’t even really have education which is one of their rights.

          How can we resolve such discrimination's being in here? We can’t just be like dogs who follow orders. We have our own brains that think, see the truth by merely opening our eyes and do the right thing. Fight for everybody like one of the black leaders who just died; He fought for the rights of his own race. When can we be like him? When can we open our own eyes wide and see the truth behind those lies? What happened in Tacloban was an eye-opener to all of us. So think before everything we have now diminish in a second.

Going Global Through English Language

                                         Essential Guide

        

         Nowadays, English is used as the primary language for everybody. In interacting with those who are not Filipino’s, we usually use English to deal with them. In our subjects, also English is now used, also on textbooks. But how is that?

          

           Having a language that is being learned by all, such English and not only the language of the country he or she lives from is very essential to us. The language that is being used now by our teachers or professors is English even though it is not our native language; we pursue to learn about it. It is good to learn languages not only on our native language. We are being educated and learning other cultures but don’t forget what we really are.

          

              It is good to have a language that gives us the opportunities there in abroad because usually one that is advised on those who are looking for jobs require the proficiency of the applicant in English. To us students we should really learn this language for us to be more successful in our careers. Even though almost all of our subjects use English as the primary language of them in teaching, we have also our subject Filipino where we can learn really also our called own and no one could ever take that away from us. Let that English language be our guide for our future preferences but do not forget what we have in our own land.
