"LovE"

"Give love on Christmas Day." This is a simple line of a song that explains the real essence of Christmas. Give love and happiness to everyone. But, how can you give love on Christmas?...LOVE can be shown in many simple ways. Few of them are sharing of what you have, doing good things to your fellowmen, and most often, blowing a kiss and hug to your love ones. In these simple schemes, Christmas can be delightful.
Celebrating Christmas is not really during December, although it is traditionally distinguished during this month, we can follow it up all-through the year. Because the real nature of celebrating Christmas is " L-O-V-E ". So, it does not mean that you show your love during Christmas. We should continue giving love. The ethereal Father taught us that in our everyday life, love must manage out mind and soul. Love is the root of all good traits of such man kind. They also say that, love makes the world spin. And there's a saying which goes, "love conquers all" & "love begets love". This statements only prove that L-O-V-E is powerful. That's why it is the heart of Christmas. And during this occasion, love is always in the air. And I hope that is will not only be during Christmas but it should be perform everyday. So, this Christmas, why don't you " SMILE A SMILE THAT MAKES EVERBODY SMILE ." In this way, you can already give love to everyone.
"Why don't you give love on Christmas Day..." Make your Christmas memorable and glorious by giving your true love to your family, friends and even to your enemies. Make them feel especial to you and God will make you especial to everyone!!! :-)

" It Was A Nice Job! "

During the month of November, the Values Club and the ISNHS body are celebrating the Filipino Values Month. In connection with this, last month, the Values Club conducted several activities and contests participated by the student body of ISNHS. This activities were lead by Mr. Glenn Tadena, the Values Club Adviser and Mr. Joseph Obrero, his Co-Adviser. And they were guided by Mr. Bernard Frando, Head Teacher of Values Education Department.

The Values Club prepared several activities that will help and train students in their physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual needs. It includes, Poster Making Contest in which you are going to express your ideas through drawing. Many young artist came out and showed their talent this time. Kite Flying Contest, where creativity and determination comes in flying your kite. In this contest, many students joined, especially the boys. The other one is the Cook Festival or CookFest. This time, young chef's cooked their mouth-watering recipe's and dishes. This were only three out of so many activities conducted by them. The club officers were very active also in leading and inviting students in participating the said activities.
All of the students who participated any of the contest have the 'gut's'. But unfortunately, others lose while others win. However, all of them have their 'fighting spirit' and the 'will to win'. Good job fellows!

* Need To Have A Step *

Second quarter of my school life had already passed. One of the most basic question roaming in my mind is as follows, " Will I past this part of my life for the second time? "

Now, i have learned a lot from all of my subjects particularly T.L.E. In this subject, I learned so many ideas about html tags. Before, i didn't know that a certain web page originated from plain text, called tags. But that was before, so like what I've said, I am well-informed about this things now. Some of them includes html editors, web standards, kinds of tags, and others. As of now, I am applying it to all my activities (in T.L.E.) that our teacher is giving us. It's so nice to learn about this things, because I know that someday, somehow, I will use this for my own good.

My problem for this second quarter are the typhoons coming in our country. Our community was very much affected by this, so now as an effect, we are all rushing to our projects, activities and especially our periodical test. The schedule for this grading period was not good, because of the typhoons who already passed our country.

In all problems, there's always a solution! As a solution to this kind of problem, it is necessary to take the part of self-discipline. It is because, typhoons are one of the results of Global Warming, which we are performing right now. So it is a need for us to have self-discipline. And let us not forget the Supreme Creator to ask for His guidance.

I always say that my best wasn't good enough for this quarter. Because everytime a grading period ends, I always tell to myself that I am always at the bootom, so I need to get to the top. Not exactly at the top, but to improve and get into a higher level. SCHOOL LIFE IS JUST LIKE A GAME, SOMETIMES YOU'RE A LOSER, BUT THERE WILL BE ALWAYS A TIME THAT YOU WILL BE ALSO A WINNER. So we just need persistence in achieving what we want, so that in the end, we will have a brighter and fuller life.

* TEACHER: a mother and a friend *

In school we always meet,
"good morning", "good afternoon" is always my greet,
You are my mentor for many years,
Hearing your words through my two young ears.
***
I know, I'll always have a perfect morning,
Every time I see you thinking,
About the students, whom you always care;
And all the things you share.
***
Those children playing hide and seek,
Staring at them without a meek,
Oh, how good you are to be a teacher;
Not just a teacher but also a MOTHER.
***
If i have time for my friends,
Laughing and playing while we pretend.
I realize that I don't want the year to end,
Because surely I will miss my teacher-my FRIEND.
***
Now, that I am almost thru,
You're still there with me, just like a glue.
I know that fairies make my wishes come true,
But only you can help me make my dreams come true.
***
Before, I was only sitting under that big shady tree,
But because of what you've shared to me;
Look at me, look at me!
I am now a doctor, can't you see?
***
No words can truly tell,
For all the works you do so well.
And all the lives you've touched,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

THE BEST ABOUT SCIENCE!

Our future is truly in our hands. More and more people introduces more 'things', 'new things' rather, that contributes good essentials in our daily living life. And until now, one question is still bothering us. What is the true essence of science in our life, in our community. in our country, and in our WORLD.

Our community is inclose with science. As they say, we are living in the WORLD OF SCIENCE. Well, they usually say this 'coz we all know that almost all that we see and we use is made by science. By the way, what is science? According to the New English Dictionary and Thesaurus, a European Book, Science is a knowledge gained by systematic experimentation and analysis, and the formulation of general principles. When people get to hear this word, what comes first on our mind are 'experimentation's', 'new things'/'discoveries'. Scientist produce this 'new things' or 'discoveries', either biologically or chemically. They are the ones who are mastered with science. YES! They are not the only ones who can discover new things. Everyone can! Anybody, it maybe you, me or all of us can do a better work than what they did. Since Filipinos make believe on beliefs and cultures, it is not bad also if we try to adopt some of the science cultures that we know. In science, CULTURES are said to be the material traits of science for a long period of time. You maybe very conscious on this things but every single of it contains various importance's that can help us for the development of our country. So, we need to appreciate it and understand all of this to develop ourselves, too. And most of all, we adapt ourselves into it, to strengthen our natures in life. DON'T IGNORE THEM, USE THEM. Because of science, our world is still growing and standing strong. We only need to adjust ourselves into it for development.

Our future awaits us, very soon. The world will become more productive and bonded with science cultures. SCIENCE CULTURE FOR THE BETTERMENT!...

"A KEY TO UNITY"

Do you speak Waray, Cebuano, Kapampangan, Bikolano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon or Tagalog? If yes, you're using no other language than Filipino language. In a country, there are lots of things that can be use as their national symbol like animals, songs, plants and flags. But there is one thing that is very important and precious, not only for representing a country but also in many ways. Filipino language is the only language that Filipino uses this time. It is only divided into different kinds of dialects that is assigned in different regions of the Philippines. Its goal is to have UNITY with one another and to represent the country, Philippines.

Filipino language is very important to us because of its use in communication and national symbol of our country. It makes the communication between our fellow Filipino's easier. Because since birth, our parents and ancestors have been using it for a long time and until now, we are still using it. Filipino language was used also as the voice of our heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of our country. Tagalog is the most common dialect that Filipinos are using nowadays, because almost all of the Filipino's understand and know how to speak Tagalog. If you are beyond the country and looking for a filipino citizen to accompany you, its very easy for you to find a Filipino because of some identities. One is the color of our skin which is Kayumanggi, culture and tradition and of course, our language. If you here that someone is saying ' malamig dito sa Amerika', no doubts anymore. She is a certified Filipino.

These are only a few of the advantages of using our very own language, what we can do is USE IT, because we are the only ones who can improve it and make it globally competitive. So, we should USE IT and LOVE SAYING, 'FILIPINO AKO.'

BRING YOUR LIFE TO SUCCESS...

Learning's? There are so many discoveries that I have learned this past few weeks. In studying, we encounter lots of new things and discoveries in our daily life in school. For this First Quarter, I conclude that I have encountered lot's of discoveries that could help me in my future plans. One is to make a good decision before doing such actions. Like in my subject area, Technology and Livelihood Education- when our teacher told us to make an essay about " Speaking in English or Filipino Properly with Kindness ", I have lots of ideas on it, but then there was one thing that I remembered that time- our project in Values Education. At that time, I focused my attention to my project and forgot my assignment in T.L.E. It was midnight then when I finished doing my project, and that was the time also when I remembered my assignment in T.L.E. I was very tired then, so I decided that I will make it tomorrow morning. Well, I finished my assignment, well and good, but I realize that time, that I should have balanced first my time in doing those things. In some of my other subject areas, I have learned a lot, especially in Physics- about motions, forces and other interesting things that I haven't met before. Others taught me on emotional, spiritual, social, physical & mental aspects which helped me a lot in some cases; and even travelled to other places like EUROPE, HUNGARY, and RUSSIA to learned about their contributions in the field of music. And also in our country, PHILIPPINES, to know the economic state of it and it's past leaders during the Republic of the Philippines.

In my daily school life, it's natural for us students to encounter problems and challenges, especially on our studies. I will take my subject T.L.E. as an example. Well to be true, it is very hard for me in making essays, because I know it is not my specialty. BUT, I am trying my BEST to express my ideas and thoughts through this words. In some of my other subjects, especially those that include formulas, MY HEAD BREAKS INTO TWO, when solving this problems. During discussions, I can understand what my teacher is saying, but when examination comes, it is very hard for me to pass all these problems. That's why, I always admit to my classmates that I am not good in solving. Sometimes, I also forgot some terms/words during our test too! HOO!!! I think I need Memo Plus!...

I know that these problems will not be the HINDRANCE in achieving my goals in life. Whenever I failed, I always tell to myself that THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE! I am a strong girl, and I can feel that God is always there, guiding me in all of my problems in life. He is always there to give support to me, and my families and my friends who keeps on telling me, " KAYA MO YAN ."

In every problem, that is being solved, of course!, we have to MOVE ON to continue our life. No matter how hard to study(hehehe), I have to move on to another chapter of my life, another problems and lots of surprises. I will do everything I could just to satisfy my family. I know that my best during this First Quarter wasn't enough, so, I will double my effort in studying for the next quarter.

NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE ON WALKING ON THE ROADS OF LIFE AND CHOOSE A BETTER PATH THAT MAY RESULT INTO A BETTER LIFE!!!

" TALKING IS BALANCING"

" SPEAK IN ENGLISH OR FILIPINO PROPERLY WITH KINDNESS"

We all know that English is the primary language of the majority of people in the world, that's why it is called the universal language. While Filipino language is the national language of the Philippines, and this two became the official language of our country, Philippines.

Isn't it very nice if we talk properly in a kind way?

Learning the proper way of using English language is very hard. You have to follow a series of steps in order to gain the proper usage of English. When you already performed all these steps, you can now speak English properly. In respect, for you to have it, you should also give it to others. That is also on how to gain kindness. Kind speaking means talking politely to your partner. In this way, your communication will result in a good way. If you already know the proper usage of English, you can now talk to other people with kindness. Speaking in Tagalog is also very important, the same way in using English language. Speaking in Filipino is very easy for us Filipinos, because it is our national language. What we could do now is to enhance it by using it in communicating and promoting our good products. That's why Filipino's are very much known for their hospitality and kindness to other men's, especially the foreigners that are visiting our country.

If English language became the universal language, Filipino language can also be globally competitive if we enhance it more. All what we could do know is to balance using English language and Filipino language. LOVE USING IT!!!
