As time passes by, seasons changes and new things happen to us. It was just like yesterday when it was the first day of school but now, our first grading period has finally came to an end. It was just the beginning but I already gained a lot of new ideas in our ICT subject. What I really learned the most is how to make our own blog wherein our teacher gave us a topic or issue and she lets us post it on our blog. I also learned about the different Internet Architectures, Philippine Pioneers and Software Pioneers. It was also my first time to encounter the types of blog and the major components of internet.
Of course I cannot deny the fact that I also encountered some problems during our first grading period. Some of my problems back then was the memorizing of names of the different people involved in the history of internet which was our lesson for how many weeks and how to improve my blog and the topics which I posted in it.
But for every problem there is always a corresponding solution in order to solve it. Even though there are so many names and their contributions to memorize, this didn't became a burden to me, because I did my very best to memorize each one of them. Reading their names repeatedly and what each one of them contributed helped me to memorize this things in a short period of time. As for my blog, I used to open it during our ICT time and during my free time to explore its different parts and to edit any necessary corrections for improvement.
Moving on, I will study very hard, do my very best during our discussions and to continue updating and adding posts to my blog. I will try my best to make sure that every topic or issue that I will post will satisfy my readers.

Pnoy's SONA
What makes a country listens or at least a high school student to mind political issues obviously out of her grasp? For me - it is when they are given a seemingly expected assignment that follows such issues. The only thing that we can do is to make a reaction, but do we even deeply understand this? What is the weight of our reaction anyway?
Well, it seemed the majority of radio and television networks made the airwaves a little monotonous on July 23, 2012 when President Benigno Aquino III delivered his third State of the Nation Address. The President's third SONA was held at the Batasang Pambansa and lasted nearly an hour and a half with mixed reactions from the public and government critics.
The President tackled many issues and as usual made comparative results against the previous regime of Gloria Macapagal - Arroyo with outstanding claims of his present regime as far more successful, goal-oriented and better in terms of many issues. Mentioning of his SONA's highlights doesn't quite appeal to me, it's more of a statistical report from comparative data of the previous government and of his. Well, this is just my understanding but typically his SONA is more appealing on its poetic side. I find President Noynoy's SONA a little more entertaining especially so when you hear him speaking those fluent Filipino rhythmical terms with a spice of rhetorical questions.
As usual, there seemed to be an endless report of corruptions regarding coffee scam, the buying of secondhand helicopters and then sold to PNP as brand-new. I personally find his report citing economic achievement by granting loan of $1 billion to the IMF a little stressful. There is no point of citing achievement where the country could not even meet its people's need. How can we be granting loan when the country is even sacked of debt? Where's the logic to this? Well, perhaps there are things a high school student like me doesn't really understand - politically.
Boasting about 4.57 million students who could now go to school seemed to go with the idea that additional 4.57 million students will also have to share shades under school trees for lack of classrooms and school materials. The reality doesn't go with the report and it's easy to verify such by just looking around and yet we loaned $1 billion to the IMF. But there's a promise from Pnoy on the backlog of over 2 million chairs to be addressed by 2012 and another backlog of over 66,000 classrooms to be addressed by 2013. Isn't the population raising? What about the educational materials? The government cannot even afford a one-is-to-one ratio of book-to-student, how could it uplift quality education and yes, to cope up with a computerized education system? I was thinking that most students haven't even touched a keyboard yet by the time they will finish the K+12.
A standing ovation from the crowd of mixed politician and showbiz personalities was made upon Pnoy's mention of responsible parenthood bill. This, I understand, that a good family planning is the key to a prosperous family. I just hope that President Noynoy will fulfill all his responsibilities and his promises to our country.

Nutrition Month
The Nutrition Month's theme is very plain, simple and direct. It is not just a perpetual reminder of including vegetables in our regular diets but also an edict of our everyday living.
Eating green leafy vegetables, especially those originally grown at homes, provide more beneficial health than meat and poultry products.
Lot of phytochemicals, essential vitamins, and the added joys of gardening, provide healthier living. It is no wonder why eating fresh vegetables is synonymous to eating live cells. This is because freshly picked vegetables and fruits constitute least oxidation process than the freshest meat ever served.
Vegetables are also cheaper and take lesser time to prepare and cook. So make it a practice to include vegetables in your daily meals for greener life.
