My Modern Day Hero!

  In different cartoon networks today, many Super Heroes having super powers are what the kids now are amazed with without knowing that their just all fantasies and that they do not exist at all.

  A hero can be more than just a slayer in his/her enemies, having extraordinary powers, or being a life saver. A true hero can be anyone who has a great impact of his/her positive influences to others.

  For me, my father, Leonardo Rafanan is my hero. I look up to him and he affected my life in a positive way. Even though he doesn't have work right now, I'm still so proud, because he he finds way for him to raise our own family. Even if it's still so early in the morning, he'll go to the farm and starts his work. I thought that he has a super power, because he does not feel tiredness at all.

  My father before is a Seaman in Hong Kong, but because of problems in their corporation, he must sacrifice his work for his own safety, but he did not give up. For now, he goes to Manila for him to apply for another job in abroad. He is a man who takes risks just for his family. He is the kind of person who really cares for others. He is a great person.

  To be a hero, you don't need to save lives or to kill enemies. All you need is to make a difference in someone's life. My father is truly my hero. He works well not only for his family and for his self, but also to his fellowmen. He is my Superman, he is my father, he is my modern day hero.

I LOVE YOU PAPA

Reflection: Study For A Good Future

  Education is one of the vital needs of every individual especially to us teenagers and young ones of this generation. Through education, we are being precast to be better individuals. We are being taught of things about our surroundings. Not only these, we are also learning about the values of life for us to build a sturdy foundation of readiness in preparing to the world of reality, because the main objective of education is to prepare students for realities of life.

   Some of the students are indolent to study. That’s why new strategies of teaching are being constructed for the students to be more alacritous to their studies for their own future.

  I’m a 4^th year student of Ilocos Sur National High School. For me, studying is so enjoyable, but in some times, it’s too difficult to manage time for everything I do. In our ICT (Information Communications Technology) subject, with the new techniques of teaching, we, the students are having fun in learning new educational things just like knowing more about the world of Internet, the different personalities in the world of Internet and the most interesting is, we are starting to create blogs of our own in the website, Blogger. Through blogging, I learned how to express my feelings in just an easy-typing way that I built my confidence to be more expressive in my own creative ways.

  In our ICT subject, there are only two problems that I’m trying to resolve and these two are; how can I improve my oral and written performance in every grading? These are great challenges for me to prove myself that I can do all of these. And now, I’m trying to find solutions of these problems that are running through my mind.

  For me, to have good results in my performances, I must start to build my confidence to be a talkative person in an educational way for me to enrich my oral performance and to construct a study plan for the lessons that I’m confused of for me to perk up with my written performance.

               

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

President P-noy: His Second SONA This 2011

  

  

  The State of the Nation Address or simply SONA is an important event in the Republic of the Philippines in which the President of the Philippines States or reports what is the status of the nation, and in here, plans of the President are being discussed for the present year.

  Last July 25,2011, our beloved President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino III delivered his second State of the Nation Address at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City.

  Important guests came to witness what Noynoy will state in his SONA, just like Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Vice President Jejomar Binay, the former President Fidel Valdez Ramos and Joseph Ejercito Estrada, Chief Justice Renato Corona and to all of the honorable Judicial Officers of the Judicial Court, the respectable members of the Diplomatic Corps, the bounteous members of Kamara de Representante, the Senate, all of the Local Government Officials, all members of our Councilmen, the members of he militar and police forces, to the people who are serving the fellowmen and especially to the state.

  In the SONA of President P-noy, he first discussed about the issues of "wang-wang." He also gave emphasis about the importation of rice production, house plan for the homeless, Anti- Trafficking, job attainments and also the issue about poverty.

  Most likely, some people are happy to know about the status of our society, but still most are not contented of this changes that had happened.

  Presidnet P-noy and his Officials will still have more things to resolve. This is just the beginning and we are all part of this administration for us to make our country a progressive one.

  Let us give our President a chance for him to prove to his self and to us that he can lead and be an effective President, that he can stand up with his promises. We, Filipinos are hoping for a change.

NUTRITION MONTH CELEBRATION: "ISULONG ANG BREASTFEEDING- TAMA, SAPAT AT EKSKLUSIBO"

  

  In celebrating the 2011 Nutrition Month Celebration that is being held every July 1, the theme for this year is, "Isulong ang BREASFEEDING- Tama, Sapat, at Eksklusibo." The theme focuses how can we ensure especially to the mothers the successful Breasfeeding practices. It aims to encourage all of us to help propel, secure and uphold the right processes of Breastfeeding.

  Through Breastfeeding, we can assure the good health status of the babies. It is proven that breast milk contains over hundreds of nutrients that cannot be created in laboratories and cannot be found in other commercial milks. Breast milk contains calories, water, Carbohydrates, fats, Proteins, Calcium, Sodium, Phosphorus, Vitamin C and Magnesium. Some of these are it's nutrients that are requisite to the healthy production and growth of babies. Breast milk is pure that it does not contain bacteria and it's easier for the babies to digest it. Breastfeeding also include the utility and it's cost. Not like the formulated milks, if you compare the two, not only in their nutrient contents but also their costs and their advantages, you can further conclude that Breast milk has a greater impact to the health  of the babies.

  Let us be all careful regarding to the health of the babies. Let us assure their good health through showcasing and by supporting the practices of Breastfeeding, because through it, we can give the good nutrition that are needed for the babies to grow healthy and wealthy.

Help Our Country, The Philippines

June 8, 2011

Dear President P-noy,

  Lovely greetings for you Sir! I wrote you a letter for me to express my feelings and experiences that I'm into right now regarding on the status of our own country, the Philippines. We all know that you have big responsibilities to do especially in the maintenance of the progressiveness of our country, and you are not the only one who needs to work for our betterment. We! We must all work together us one to uplift the country.

  Devastating problems are what we are experiencing now. Even on the radios and on the televisions, or even on the newspapers; crimes, deadly phenomena, problems in shelter, food supplies, health and other things that we are needing for us to live are now slowly vanishing. I am alarmed, you are alarmed and all of us are alarmed about this kind of situation. We must be awakened.

  One of the hottest issue in the world of Philippine News today is the "Fish Kill" issue. In the affected areas of Batangas & Pangasinan, most of their raised fishes and other marine lives are now in a big danger. The condition of the weather has a big effect to us like, the presence of destructive typhoons, tsunamis and others and also the issue regarding on the Global Warming, because of these problems that we are facing now, we are the ones who are affected. many of our fellowmen are needing and hungering for your help.

  You are elected as our President of our country and not only me, but also the other Filipinos are expecting o lot from you. Since you made a promise and stood up for your statements, we had put our full trust in you. Problems truly comes along our way unexpectedly, but if there's a way to solve things even it's just that petty, then we must think of better solutions to solve bigger problems like these. All of us will work together us one for us to overpass these challenges of life. Let us stand up and hold hands.

Yours Truly,

Karen Angelica Rafanan
