The True Essence Of Christmas

The meaning of Christmas is found in the very word itself: Cristes Maesse or “Christ’s Mass,” an Old English term for “celebration for Christ.” Beyond traditional December festivities, however, the true meaning of Christmas celebrates Jesus Christ’s birth and honors His divinity, His perfect example of charity, and the significance of His impact on the world.

  The essence of Christmas is not gifts, is certainly not goodies. Not even the things that you do. Not the decoration that makes your house look good. The essence of Christmas lies in the name of almighty Lord above. For he has the power to change the World. The true essence of Christmas is spreading love not only on loved ones but also on every single person around you. Christmas for me is being with my family, eating together, bonding with each other and filling the house with joy and love. The essence of Christmas is not measured on how tall the Christmas tree is, on how bright the lanterns are, and on how many food were prepared. Thus, the essence of Christmas is found on wide smiles of family members. On how they celebrate even just in a simple way. The true essence of Christmas is having a complete family, a complete family that celebrates a memorable day with a lot of love and joy.

         May this Christmas bring you and your family joy, peace and happiness in your life and gladden your heart. may you realize the deepest value and essence of this festival. stay blessed and be a blessing for others. Merry Christmas to all.

Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga Para sa Lahat ng Bata

Isang sa mga mahahalagang ipinagdidiriwang sa buwan ng Nobyembre ang Children's Month Celebration. Ang nasabing tema sa taong ito ay "Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga Para sa Lahat ng Bata."

Ang pagkakaroon ng isang pamilya ay isang napakalaking pagpapasiya gunit ang pag-aanak ay isang panibagong malaking hamon sapagkat kalakip nito ang napakaraming responsobilidad na kabalikat ng bawat mga magulang. Ang siyam na buwan  na pagdadalang-tao ng isang ina ay puno ng maraming pisikal, mental at pinansyal na pagsubok. Ngunit sa paglago ng panahon habang lumalaki ang isang bata, ay nangangailangan ito ng sapat na atensiyon at oras mula sa mga magulang. Responsibilad ng isang nanay at tatay ang tamang pag-aaruga sa anak sa ng walang pinipiling panahon. Walang bawian ang sitwasyong ito. Hindi ito parang pagsubo lamang ng kanin na kapag napaso ka ay iluluwa mo na lamang ng basta-basta. Susubukin nito ang haba ng pagtitiyaga at pagtittis  ng isang tao nang walang kapalit na sahod. Nagsisimula ito sa tamang nutrisyon ng bata sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakain sa bata ng mga masusustansiyang pagkain tatlong beses sa isang araw. Karapatan rin ng isang bata ang makapaglaro at makisalamuha sa ibang tao upang malinang ang kaniyang kakakyahang makipagkomunikasyon. Kakailanganin nito ang magkatuwang na pwersa ng isang ama't ina upang mapalaking mabuti ang ang anak. Nararapat na magsimula  sa tahanan ang tamang edukasyon, asal at disiplina. Hindi dapat idaan sa pananakit ang pagdidisiplina sa mga bata upang ito'y hindi magdulot ng labis na takot sa mga bata.

 Kung ang isang bata ay magagabayan nang may disiplina at prinsipyo, siya ay lalaking isang mabuting mamamayan ng ating bansa. Kung kaya't nakabatay sa tamang pag-aaruga ang  kaunlaran at kahihinatnan ng isang bansa.

We all know that at a very early age, we have been taught that reading plays an important role in making our dreams and goals in life to become possible. That is why our teachers and parents are really pursuing their teaching skills especially when we were still kids just for us to learn how to read during our younger generation.

Understanding the written words is important simply because it develops the mind, and do grows each person's ability in all aspects just like vocabulary expansion, memory improvement, stronger analytical and thinking skills, best writing skills and most of all is the language skills, which is really essential in communicating with other people. Through communication, it bridges the gap between individuals and groups through flow of information and understanding to all of us.

Rather, it is how to put to life on what you have just read not only for yourself but of course for the benefit of everybody.

Mapanuring Paggamit ng Gadget: Tungo sa Mapagkalingang Ugnayan ng Pamilya at Kapwa

Sa kasalukuyang panahon kung saan tayo ay nabubuhay sa ika- 21 na siglo, hindi na natin maipagkakaila na malaki na ang iniunlad ng ating teknolohiya. Ito'y ay isang patunay na talaga namang malaki na ang agwat ng nakaraan sa kasalukuyan. Isa na rito ang mabilis na pag-usbong ng mga iba't ibang klase ng gadgets. Mga gadgets na dala- dala natin saan man tayo magpunta.

Sa henerasyong aking kinabibilangan kung saan ako'y isa sa mga tinatawag nilang kabataan, aminado ako na naging malaki na ang ginampanang parte ng teknolohiya sa aking pang-araw araw na pamumuhay. Sapagkat sa makabangong panahon na sumisibol ay may napakalaking pagbabago buhat sa dating pamumuhay dahil ang dating mahirap at mabibigat na gawain, pinapagaan ito ng makabagong gadgets na unti-unting umuusbong. Idagdag pa na dulot ng mga gadgets ang mga libangan gaya na lamang ng social media na nagsisilbing tambayan ng mga kabataan. Na kung minsa'y dulot nito ay kapahamakan na kinasasadlakan ng mga kabataang tinagurian pa namang pag-asa ng bayan. Kagaya na lamang ng mga kabataang mga hubad na larawan ang siyang ipingangalandakan, pati ang pakikipag away sa social media'y nagsisilbing tanghalan. Pati mga fake news ay kaagad na pinaniniwalaan nang wala man lang matibay na basehan. Sa oras na maling gawi ang pinanggamitan, maaring may masama itong idudulot na makaaapekto ito sa ating lahat at di lamang sa iilan. Isa pa rito ay ang pagkawala ng oras para sa Diyos, sa pamilya, at sa kapwa. Minsan nga tuwing weekends, nasa loob na lamang ng apatna sulot ng kwarto. Nagmumokmok sa kapapanuod ng Youtube at kakatingin sa facebook. Imbes sana na gawin ito, bakit 'di na lang makisalamuha sa iba'y ating bigyang subok? Buong maghapon sa kapapanood ng inaabangang k-drama, imbes sana na requirement ay tapusin nang sa gayo'y di mahuli sa pagpasa. At higit sa lahat, sa loob ng simbahan puro cellphone ang gamit imbes sana na mga salita ng Diyos ay isapuso't isaisip. 

Lahat ng bagay dito sa mundo'y may magaganda't masasamang epekto. Ang mga gadgets na ating kinahuhumalinga'y hindi natin makakasama panghabang- buhay. Kung kaya naman tayo na't kumilos ng wasto sa mga masasamang dulot ng gadgets 'wag papaapekto.

Reflection: Second Grading Period

                               

School helps children to develop important skills, knowledge and values that set them up for further learning and participation in their community. School helps them to make the most of life opportunities.

Our ICT or the Information and Communications Technology has started during second week of August. And during this short period of time, we were able to discuss different kinds of topics like: Different kinds of Internet Access like the WiMAX, Wireless ISP, WiFi and etc. We also discussed HTML, HTML tags, and creating an HTML file.  But as usual, the life of a student is really hard especially in terms of time management in making our requirements and activities. But with the help of our teacher who continues to guide and motivate us, I was able to survive the second grading period.  

As what Napoleon Hill quoted, "Education comes from within: you get it by struggle, and effort and thought." This clearly means that in order to learn and gain new knowledge, we need to experience different struggles and we need to sacrifice our time and efforts.

United Nations Celebration Theme 2018

Every 24th day of October, the United Nations is celebrating their United Nations Week, which runs from 20 to 26 October. As part of this celebration, In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly declared October 24 as the anniversary of the Charter of the United Nation which aims to be devoted in making known to the people of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations and to gaining their support for its work. 

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the themeThe theme focuses on the importance of recalling the fundamental connection between outmost poverty and human rights, and that people living in poverty are disproportionately affected by many human rights violations. In February 1987, Joseph Wresinski, one of the first persons to highlight this direct link between human rights and extreme poverty appealed to the Human Rights Commission to examine the question of extreme poverty and human rights and eloquently captured the nexus between human rights and extreme poverty with his profound observation: “Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme poverty, human rights are violated. To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty.” 

The continuation of the unending poverty, is one of the  major concerns for the United Nations and, at its 72nd session. It is important that the Third Decade’s inter-agency, system-wide plan of action to coordinate the poverty eradication efforts of the United Nations system includes an effective partnership with people living with poverty.

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can strongly complement such initiatives because it aims to ensure that the active participation of people living in extreme poverty and those furthest behind is a driving force in all efforts made to overcome poverty, including in the design and implementation of programmers and policies which affect them. Only by creating and nurturing a genuine partnership with people living with poverty will it be possible to build an inclusive world where all people can enjoy their full human rights and lead lives with dignity.
