Ela's Thoughts

Understanding … Communication … A tool that one uses to interact with others. Around the globe, there are different nations with different languages spoken.   Some are quite diverse for they have been visited by different races. Nevertheless, a country has only one dominant language used. It’s that time of the year again. The month of Augustus Caesar wherein we celebrate the making of our language, it’s background and lots more.   Every single year, we Filipinos, celebrate our Buwan ng Wika , which translates to Month of Language or Language Month whenever it is already the eighth month of the year. Just like in the previous month’s celebration (which was Nutrition Month), there are lots of activities and programs to let the youth know more about the importance of having a certain language that unites the countrymen which also includes our land’s diverse and colorful culture. This year’s theme is: “Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino." If you woul...

In our everyday lives, we cannot evade from discovering new things that add knowledge. These things might be of great help in the future. And if passionate about continuous doing of  the said activity, skills will be developed and honed. During the first half of the first semester, I have learnt a lot of new things. It includes all of the information and topics that are needed to know about a certain subject. I am certainly fond of electronics for I just love math and science combined. ICT is also quite interesting by means of the newly introduced words, terminologies, and names of great contributors especially in the field of internet.  We also got a chance to blog. Thus by doing so, our capabilities in writing improve little by little.  Certain nuisances cannot be avoided in doing new things. In the first few days of discussing, I was still having difficulty in adjusting to the new environment and getting to socialize with other people I have not known. Doing ...

It runs in the blood. We Filipinos are known for our resiliency when facing different challenges that come our way. We may fall hard and get hurt but we will bounce back. In conjunction, those scars and wounds will heal as time goes by. Thus, we yearly have the National Disaster Resiliency Month that’s being held every month of July. “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa Tunay na Pagbabago.” This is the theme for this year. If we try to put it in pieces, the completed puzzle would picture a more developed or changed country that is always prepared for any risk or disasters that come what may. Everyone knows that our country, the Philippines, is a disaster  prone country due to its geographic location. The whole nation is being told to always be prepared and evacuate though some are still hard-headed.     Disasters are inevitable yet preparedness comes in handy when facing these catastrophic events. Filipinos should learn by now that in every situatio...

Lifestyle. Eating Habit. Weight Management. These days, people that are prone to diseases are gradually increasing in number. Inevitable it may be, there are preventive measures that can be done in order to lower the probability rate of it happening. There are a lot of factors at play. Culture, family background, and physical activities are a few to name some. All of these help in determining how fit and healthy a person is. With that said, our main concern is encouraging and informing others about nutrition. Yearly, we are celebrating the month of nutrition every July here in the Philippines. Many activities are being done to help each and every one engage in those activities to further enhance their knowledge in every single thing that has to do with nutrition, likewise healthy living. This year’s theme is: “Kumain nang Wasto at Maging Aktibo, Push Natin ‘to”. From how I can perceive its word, it talks about the two components in determining the state of your he...

Unexpected arrival.              Occurrences like this just happen so sudden. We would not know when it will strike once again for we cannot foresee when or where it will happen. There is no gadget nor device that can help. That’s why the NDRRMC resorted to a solution that can aid everyone to be prepared.             Every year, the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill is being held in every school nationwide. Through this event, students would know what to do in case of a sudden trembling in the earth’s core will happen. Duck, cover, and hold they always say. Form a single file, no panicking, they add.              Not only the students benefit from this but others as well. Everyone will know the things to do in order to be prepared. Even those done before, during, and after the quake are always ...

Our dear leader,              It is of great pleasure to be writing this letter that is intended for you. First of all, I would like to greet you a wonderful day. Ever since you were seated as the newly elected president of our beloved land, many things have happened for the past few years. Some of which contributed to the development of the country while others, I’m just not sure about them.             In this letter I am expressing all of my concerns, admiration, dismay, support, and anything else in between towards your reign of presidency. I admire you for settling your priorities for creating a better country just like lowering the criminality rate and the like. I’m just disappointed in you for using such methods that led to the extent of having high fatality rates. I also think that some programs or laws were not carefully studied and thought about res...

Liberty… Expression… Thoughts… Voices… Long ago, we were colonized by foreigners. This event led them to influence our ancestors thus, placing them under their authority. Since they were the ones in charge, it’s likely that they were holding our people by their necks. Threatening to kill them if they were to voice out any of their oppositions. Going mute, not being able to fight for their rights and having no independence are just a few results of it. At first, maybe these foreigners were wearing masks to hide their true facade and their malicious intentions. Later on, those masks fell therefore revealing their genuine nature. They became abusive and even called us frivolous people. Our heroes got sick and tired of being treated like trash hence, they decided to oppose foreigners by expressing their thoughts either orally or written and through their actions. Since starting a revolution, our national heroes have been fighting non-stop for the freedom of our own country an...

Cracking codes is quite fun, but solving me will leave you puzzled. A simple teen with unique interests. Has talent in dancing. Loves math and science combined. An epicurean type of person and many more. Books, songs, and poems serve as her happy place. She appreciates the beauty of nature in every way and paints too, though not quite good at it. One must solve her to understand her. Source: https://www.garrettwade.com/1000-piece-murder-mystery-jigsaw-puzzles-gp.html
