Helps in preparing the food. Washing the dishes and others. By doing simple things you show how responsible you are.
          In every struggle in our life, we ought to be strong. Don't show your weaknesses to others.Or rather you show to them how strong you are in facing any prombems.

Kannawidan: The Ylocos 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, it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province since it was separated on February 3, 1818.

New Year, New Me

          Many people say that "New Year New Life". There were many things that should be change, especially in our characters.
          "New Year, New Me", this is the sentence that comes to my mind a months ago. If what should I change to myself. There were some boys and girls who are angry to me but not to much. Because of my bad attitude. Sometimes I shout them. May be this is one of the reason why they hate me. But I totally remove that kind of attitude. I want to be friendly to all. And I thanks God that the one who hates me so much is now my friend.
          This is now the new me. New life of mine and new problems that I may also suffer. And I hope that God will always be there for me.

Keeping in Mind our Mother Tongue

          When we were still young, we have experience it. All of us have say the first word when we were a baby or a one year old baby. Try to ask your parents , if what is the first word you have said when you were still young? How you say it for the first time? What is mother tongue?
          Mother tongue is a language. Whether it is Ilocano, Tagalog, or English. Everyone of us have a mouth to speak. You or we are the one who manipulate our own body. And most especially to our mouth, because what ever you say even it is bad or good their will always be hurted. So be careful what you say. God gave us mouth and most especially language so that we can easily communicate with others.
          Use your tongue wisely. Think before you say. Because what ever you say it reflects your personality us human. And what family you belong.

Equal Rights, Equal Oppurtunities

          In many parts of the world, women continue to face some of the worst forms of sexual-based gender violence including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Early Forced Marriages, Rapes and other forms of Sexual Abuse such as Incest, Physical Domestic Violence (Wife Battering) and Forced prostitution through Human Trafficking of women among other violations.

          We all have a role to play. Let us raise our voices against these injustices against women. We must speak out and also be the voice of those with no platform to raise their voices and if possible help create for them a platform. We must be heard.

          Let us continue to advocate for the elimination of any form of abuse, discrimination and violation of women’s rights. Let us keep up the fight to ensure that the women in a village in Kathmandu, Nepal, Nairobi, Kisumu, Soweto is free from any form of violence. Let us work towards equal Rights and Equal Opportunities for all.

Responding to Climate Change

          The earth we live in is only one of the millions of objects found in space. Why are there changes on the earth's surface? Why does the earth experience different kinds of weather? What is weather and climate?
          Climate is the weather conditions of country or region. And weather is the condition of the atmosphere over a short period of time. The weather may be fine, fair or stormy. The weather changes from day to day or at different times during the day. This is because certain elements in nature are constantly changing. Changes in the weather happen because of changes in air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. In the Philippines, precipitaton is usually in the form of rain. Sometimes we experience strong winds, heavy rains, thunder and lightning, and tornadoes. During the rapid rise of air, electric charges build up in the clouds. Some places in the clouds have positive electical charge while others have a negative charge. When the current flows between regions of opposite electrical charges, lightning occurs. Bolts of lightning may leap from cloud to cloud and from clouds to the earth. This weather disturbance accompanied by strong winds, lightning and thunder is called thunderstroms. Tornadoes that occurs in the Philippines are characterize as weak. But whenever one occurs, it can cause much damage. A tropical cyclone is a major weather disturbance characterize by a low central atmospheric pressure. The center called eye is surrounded by bands of clouds and winds which blow in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere. A typhoon is a strong tropical cyclone. Associated with typhoons are such hazards as floods, landslides and storm surge. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is the agency that monitors weather conditions. PAGASA provides the nation with weather forecasts and typhoon warnings which are necessary so that people can take the necessary precautions.
          Typhoon warnings help people prepare in order to be safe from any disastrous effects they may bring. Remember, typhoons always visit our country. We should always be prepared for them. We should follow the precautionary measures about typhoons to lessen their destructive effects.

CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Club in Synergy

          Scientist have special ways of working. They observe things scientifically and analyze them critically. They do this by going through different scientific processes. And one of them is chemistry. Chemistry is the science of matter, especially its properties, structure, composition, behavior, reaction, interactions and tha\e changes it undergoes. Without science, what are the things we can do?
          It is stated on the first paragraph that chemistry is the science of matter, and matter is all around you. Energy is also related to matter. We are made of matter. We have energy. With the energy we have, we can move our hands, kick a ball and do a lot of things. This is one of the topic of science. Science according to my research, can help the environment in create cures for plants sickness, and invent better way to grow plants. When we study science, it teach us how to use wise of natural resources. Like forest resources, on mature trees should be cut. It is also teach us how to recycle and reuse things. Let us use old newspapers and bottles for examples. Old newspaper is used for making paper. This practice is recycling. Bottles, on the other hands, can be wash very well and use again. This practice illustrates reuse.
