Halaga ng Buhay

 

      Buhay ay isang malaking regalo na natatanggap ng mga nabubuhay. Itong regalo ay para makita ang kagandahan ng mundo at maranasang mabuhay sa mundong ito. Naranasan nating mabuhay kasama ang pamilya natin, kaibigan, at ang iyong minamahal. Naranasan nating maging masaya, matakot, malungkot, at paninindigan. Sa mga araw na nabubuhay tayo ay isang malaking regalo para sa atin.

      Para sa akin ang kahalagahan ng buhay ay pagkaloob kong pahalagahan ito dahil isa ito sa aking na tanggap na regalo hanggang ngayon. Parang nagaalaga ka lang ng laruan, iniingatan, pinapahalgahan dahil minahal ko ito, katulad sa pagmamahal ko  sa aking sarili. 

  

      Ang layunin ko dito sa mundo ay ang pamumuhay ng matagal, alamin ang lahat, magkaroon ng isang gawaing pinapangarap kong gawain. Sakali mang magagawa ko iyon ay maghahanap nanaman ako ng gawaing pangangarapin o kaya'y maging masaya sa mga huling sandali.

      Para kanino ako na bubuhay, bumubuhay ako para sa aking sarili, bilang parte sa pamilya at sa bubuong pamilya sa paglaki. Pagmamahal ang halaga sa aking buhay. 

     Mahalaga ang buhay.Maging masaya. Maranasan. At alamin ang mundong kinabubuhayan.

Pagkatuto mula sa kabiguan

 

Marami sa mga tao na naranasan ang kabiguan sa buhay. Para makamit ang tagumpay ay dadaan muna ito sa maraminng pagsubok. Makikita mo sa litrato sa itaas na nagsagawa ng eksperimento. Ngunit mali ang kanyang nagawa kaya tinignan niya ito hanggang sa nakita niya ang tamang sagot para matagumpay ang kanyang eksperimento. Ngayon ay ibabahagi ko ang ilang mahahalagang aral na matutuna natin sa ating pagkabigo.

Sa ating buhay nakaranas na tayo ng kabiguan araw-araw o kaya'y sunod-sunod na maling pasya na binitawan. Maaaring magiging lungkot tayo dito dahil sa maling pasya- sa huli lang makikita ang mali. Ngunit, dito tayo nakabatay at makintindi kung ano ang tamang gawin o kaya sa kasabihan ng iba na "Trial and Error" sa paglalatis. NAPAGTANTO MONG HINDI ITO ANG KATAPUSAN.

MAKAKATULONG ITONG TUKUYIN MULI ANG PRIYORIDAD SA BUHAY. Sa unang pangungusap pa lamang ay tumutukoy na ito sa priyoridad sa buhay. Tayo bilang isang taong maraming gustong makamit na bagay sa buhay dahil masaya tayo nito dito. Pinagsikapan ang pangarap ngunit nabigo. Masakit man sa ating lagay na kinalungkutan natin ang isang pangarap. Dito natin mapagtanto na ibahin ang priyoridad at pangarap natin sa buhay. Kung sakali mang importante mo ang tagumpay kaya baguhin mo ang bagay na pangangarapin mo.

Ang huling aral na ibabangit ko ay hindi na nakabatay sa research ko, itong aral na ito ay nakabatay sa nagawa ko kanina; ito yung "HINDI KO NA ITO GAGAWIN MULI.". Hindi lang sa akin to maririnig kundi sa lahat ng taong nagkakamali. Dahil kanina ay gumamit ako ng isang Microwave para initin uli ang pagkain. Ang mali na nagawa ko ay hindi ko inilagay sa tray ang pagkain kundi nasa plastik na lalagyan, ayun na sunog ang plastik kasama ang pagkain. Ang pagkain ay nandoon na iyon sa plastik na lalagyan. Ang rason bakit ko yun na gawa dahil sa nakalagay na"microwave safe" nakalimutan ko ano ang nakasulat pero yan ang pagintindi ko kahit alam kong plastik yun. Tao rin ako kaya maaabot rin ako sa lagay ng kabobohan kahit may pinag-aralan ako. 

Ang masasabi ko lang sa pagkabigo ay dito tayo magbabago at malalaman kung nagkamali ba ako o kaya'y kulang ba ang ginawa ko para sa pagsusuri. WAG MALUNGKOT SA PAGIGING BIGO SA BUHAY, BASEHAN MO ITO SA PAGBABAGO AT SA PAGKAKAROON NG KAALAMAN SA BAGAY-BAGAY.

The Good Impact of Migration towards their Homeland

 

World we have today grows bigger as it's Globalization changing to be great for our races sake. Survival which we deals with hunger on working for the family needs. Food, Shelter. Protection, and Health is our priority of our race to live. In the Philippines, a person that needs money to support the family thinks about to go another country to work because of it's wage from another country is higher than the Philippine wage. Filipinos are known because of many Filipinos going another country, from the source of worldpopulationreview.com, over 100 million Filipinos living in the Philippines itself, and there are estimated around 10.2 million Filipinos living abroad. Migration is a movement of people choose to live another place or country to live. They choose to live another country to have a new life in there, or to live there for a better job to support the household in the homeland, or both. Thus Migration has negative impact in some part of the economy or business, but this movement acquire support that leads the development of their homeland to it's good impact. Nurtured of its ideal of support which is good and deal with it. This impact affects the development sectors: education, agricultural, and economy of a country. Way to support the household and the homeland.

Education. Education is part of our life to learn things that are necessary or unnecessary things around the world. Education needs schools and gather children to teach. Education teaches us about history, mathematics, language, science, and etc. Why Migration does have an impact on Education? In the Dominican Republic, the Migration helps enhancing the quality of education of the Dominican Republic. People emigrate to earn money to support their children in the homeland on paying debts of the school, or obtaining quality of education abroad for themselves. The Dominican Republic has seen significant gains education at all levels, with a closing gap of the educational achievement between the bottom 40%, and the top 60% (World Bank, 2016a). In 2014, the net primary education enrollment rates reached 84% (World Bank, 2016b). About 12% have finished post-secondary education, and the 7.8 years of adult population on the mean years of schooling (UNESCO, 2016). It's great to have this achievement about education of the country, have a support on schooling and enhancing the education. Youth is needed to be educate. To nurture it's knowledge.

Agricultural matter is needed for our country to supply and preserve foods for nation needs. In a state of calamity, the Government helps the people affected on a strong storms which is serious calamity, earthquake, tsunami, and etc. Handling some goods like canned goods, a bag of rice, water, and some things needed after the calamity. Why Migration does have an impact on Agricultural matter? With this, a migrate person working in the city could support the expenses of a household farmland. Dealing on preserving the farmland to it's purpose, a business to supply crops and vegetables, needs money to plant and to sell. It's not only to support farmland on the matter of its expenses but also to know more on planting and to have a good business. With this knowledge from the person who migrate, to the rural community, gathering knowledge about Agriculture helps the household to learn more things about its business, adapting skills to improve its supply or to have good crops and etc. and also avoiding bad situation like insects that destroys the products or a calamity that also affects on development of the products. 

The Economy of a country talks about the wealth, production, distribution and trade, and also consumption of goods and services by different agents. Migrate people like skilled labour has a positive static effects such as through return migration and remittances. Remittances have positive effects on sending countries.

Mga Kaibigan kong tinuturing isa sa mga mahahalagang tao ko sa buhay

 

         Ang pagkakaroon ng isang kaibigan sa buhay ay nagbabahagi ng pagkakaroon ng koneksyon sa iba pang tao sa labas ng ating kabahayan. Didto nagsisimula ang pagkaroon ng kaalaman kung paano simulan ang pagkakaisa at kung papaano ipatibay ang samahan. Dito mo rin ma patunayan kung sino ka sa buhay na nagmamahal ng isang kaibigan at kung sino ka sa iyong buhay. Meron tayong kaibigan na pinagpilian dahil sa maganda niyang loob at mabuti siyang kaibigan. Meron naman tayong kaibigan na pagkakataon nating makiisa sa kanya kahit sa maliit man na panahon pero iisa parin kayo habang buhay, at sa panghuli meron tayong kaibigan na gusto nating baguhin dahil nararapat niya na mayroong isang kaibigan na kusang baguhin ang isang kaibigan na nagpasya ng maling decisyon sa buhay, at sa pagturo natin kung ano ang tama at mali na decisyon sa kanya ay maibabago niya ang paraan niya sa buhay.

         Sa aking buhay ay nagkaroon ako ng kaibigan na totoo, mapag-alaga, mapagmahal, turing kong isa sa mahalagang tao sa buhay ko, at nagpapabago sa aking sarili. Di naman mawawala yung mga kaibigan na masasabi kong plastik pero wala naman akong pake. Ngayon ay paguusapan ko ngayon tungkol sa mga kaibigan ko na gusto kong baguhin at nagpapabago sa akin, pagkakataon na isa sa kakaibiganin ko, at pinipili ko na isa sa kaibigan ko sa buhay. 

Ito ang kaibigan ko si Vilfrande, una kong kaibigan. Siya ay masayahing kaibigan ko noong bata pa kami hanggang sa ngayon. Ngunit ngayon ay nasa ibang bansa siya at doon naninirahan. Siya yung kaibigan kong pinipili na kaunaunahang kaibigan ko dahil masaya siyang kasama. Dahil sa kanya nagkaroon ako ng mga kaibigan.

Ito Naman si Kuya Shaq, nagkakakilala kami sa isang event sa paaralan na magcacamping. Siya ay masayahin ring kaibigan kahit man konti lang yung araw ng camping pero magkikita rin lang kami sa paaralan. Siya yung taong pagkakataon kong kakaibiganin dahil masayahin siya at may magandang loob. 

Ito naman si Stephen, kaibigan kong maraming alam sa computer. Siya yugn kaibigan kong nagpapabago sa akin dahil sa maling gawa ko bilang isang lider ng pagtuturo. Di naman ma iwasan magalit at kukulo ang dugo dahil sa mga kaklaseng di sumusunod. Gusto kong magturo na kalmado lang dahil sumusunod ang aking kaklase para madali lang ang pagkakatapos sa araw ng pagtuturo. Sa mga reaksyon niya sa akin ay kusa kong binago ang pagtuturo ko at bilang isang lider.

Ang mga kaibigang tapat at mapagmahal at mga totoong kaibigan mo, sila yung mga kaibigan na nagtuturo sa iyo sa buhay dahil sa buhay ay ikaw lang ang bumabangon para makaahon, at maligaya.
