CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME

CHANGE FOR THE WORLD

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Our societies are riddled with issues around trust, fear, anger, grief, victim mentality, blame, depression, anxiety, and addictions.The path to recovery from these issues and others is to go within and find out what is actually true as opposed to what we have deduced from the environment that we grew up in. Once you have established what really happened, it is advisable to find a way to safely process your issues.

When we do begin the path to a spiritual way of living, one very important aspect of the growth is to really begin to look at what you actually believe, either consciously or unconsciously. Does what you believe benefit your life, bringing you peace and joy, or does it make you miserable and keep you small?

Lately, I have been struggling with the issue of change.  Specifically, I am looking at one area of our school that I believe has become a vicious cycle of despair for both our staff and students — homework.  Teachers assign it.  Students don’t complete it.  Grades drop.  Frustration levels rise.  It is a system that is not working.  My purpose in writing this post is not to address ideas related to my “homework” quandary (although I would be appreciative of your suggestions).  Instead, I would like to focus on reflection and change, and the role that a professional learning network plays in this process.

 

In fact, I have spent a good part of the last several months scrambling to feel like anything is working, and believe me, I have been pushed and challenged on many issues.  But, I also know that meaningful change begins with me…and with you. For things to change for the better, we must change.

KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL

LET'S START THE FESTIVAL!!!

Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that are to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generations already. Children of today are paying more attention to the modern and novelty dances they seen on the television than the traditional ones. There is also a need to evaluate the different products of the different municipalities and the agricultural products and livestock of the farmers and fisher folks. Because of this, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur conceived a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN Ylocos Festival.

Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos. Kannawidan Ylocos Festival became an annual festival that aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products of the province.There is a need to preserve our rich heritage and unique culture. With this in mind, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur has conceived a festival that highlights these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. Dubbed the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, it is also a commemoration of the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province. This festival is very significant to every resident in the province as they are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as a province by virtue of the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818. Ilocos Sur especially Vigan is branded as the Heart of Ilocandia by the Philippine Historical Committee. It’s a province very rich in culture and heritage. Kannawidan means traditions and this province got to showcase all what she has. On January 31 to February 6, 2011 several activities were lined up for the celebration. There was the tribal performance of the cultural communities of Ilocos Sur which is so fascinating. They displayed their talents as well as their indigenous costumes. Partuat ken Patanor Trade Fair showcased the products of the province such as longanisa, bagnet, garlic, bibingka, tinubong and many other foods including handicrafts. There was even eating contests of these delicacies of Ilocos Sur as well as basi drinking contest. Traditional games

All of these are evidence that the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is already becoming a fast rising festival in the country as shown by the number of participantsand tourists who flocked and become a part of the festival. Kannawidan indeed is an attraction because it showcases the culture of Ilocanos that made them distinct from other ethnic groups of the Philippines.

CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST

 CHRISTMAS THAT I NEVER THOUGHT!

Let’s give lone on Christmas Day! Christmas Day! Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. His Birth changed the whole wide world and he can change your life today. Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem in Israel over 2000 years ago.

The true essence of Christmas is giving, loving, and peace to each other. Each year, it is traditional to give gift at Christmas. Just as you give gift to my loved ones. God is offering me a  gift as well: the gift of complete forgiveness, freedom, from sin and eternal life. Just like I must accept a Christmas gift for it to be mine., I must accept God’s gift of salvation.

Christmas is a Christian Festival-Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian faith, was born on 25^th day of December. Hence the day is observed as the Christmas Day in order to commemorate Christ’s birth. On the day, the Christians dress themselves colourfully with a spirit. They wish Merry Christmas their friends and relatives. They visit one another’s house in order to exchange good wishes. The Christians decorate their houses on the occasion with the Christmas tree which is an evergreen the beautified with small electric bulb etc. That a typical festive mood to the occasion.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

CLIMATE CHANGE

FIGHT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year. The Earth continuously to turns around. Everything changes continually. What is history indeed, but a record of change. And if there had been very few changes in the past, there would have been little history to write.

Nowadays there are so many factories that exhale really destructive substances and pollute the air. We all know very well that air is something we can’t live without. When we breathe the polluted air, we can get seriously ill. Ground-level ozone can damage lung tissue, and is especially harmful for those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases. Sunlight and high temperatures, combined with other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, can cause the ground-level ozone to increase. We cannot escape from the polluted air-it’s everywhere, even in our homes and we are breathing it non-stop. This can cause cancer and other serious diseases.

Another huge problem is that the sea levels are rising worldwide. Also the expansion of ocean water is caused by warmer ocean temperatures.. Mountain glaciers and small ice caps are melting as well as Greenland’s Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The temperature is rising which means that ice is melting faster and faster.

Human-induced climate change has contributed to changing patterns of extreme weather across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to heavier rains. From a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to climate change. While natural variability continues to play a key role in extreme weather, climate change has shifted the odds and changed the natural limits, making certain types of extreme weather more frequent and more intense. 

OUTPOURING HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH LITERACY AND ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

PROVIDE FOR LITERATURE

Whatever I will do, I always put my all heart and mind. So every time, I had a problem or work, I am always a winner. It is just like our “Literacy and English Proficiency”. What and how could I help others to support this? `

Literacy is the ability to understand, respond to, and use those forms of language that are required by society and valued by individual and communities; this will help for our daily living in this world.

English proficiency is the most important of one’s educational success is the development of competent ready and literacy skills. This process requires who integration of one’s language skills, background knowledge, and ability to construct meaning from a variety of print materials and for many students this process is not an easy one.

Both of this is the one main purpose to live and to have an idea. To have past time, reading and writing etc. Support our writers to have more stories that we can read and learned moral lessons. This is the process how we enjoy our time and relations for the writers.

Of course, it is boring to read abut boring thing, but it s better to read something that makes your yawn with boredom than something that will make you weep uncontrollably, pound your fits against the floor and leave tearstains all over your pillowcase, sheets and boomerang collection.`
