Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Toward National Wellness

       The Month of September had finally started. For some, it is a sign that Christmas Day is coming near. In short, the start of what we call "Ber Months"! But for the students under Science's control, it is the National Science Club Month (NSCM). This is mandated in Proclamation 264, which then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed in September 2002. This year's NSCM theme is "Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Toward National Wellness".

         The Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) explained the rationale behind the theme as follows: "It is a play on ammunition and immunization. We would like our science clubber to be armed/ to be immune against diseases through imparting knowledge about disease, how they spread etc. Our goal is not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness". Their aim truly reminds all of us that prevention is ALWAYS better than cure. I am very glad that celebrations like this are conducted so that we can be aware of what we should and should not do. In this case, this celebration is aiming for national awareness. In this days, this celebration is aiming for national awareness. In this days, being with the flow of the river of changes is truly important so that we are capable of doing the right thing. As years pass by, more and more diseases are being discovered and are scattering in different countries. Some of them still don't have medications discovered and are yet to be made. That's why prevention is the wisest and best thing we could do. By being aware of the causes why this diseases develop, Prevention can be achieved. In this case, this healthful defenses can lead to national wellness.

         ALS, Ebola Virus and Measles are some of the diseases scattering in different countries. This diseases are also the ones all of us are afraid to have. With the help of proper nutrition and prevention, I believe that this diseases will extinct. For now, many countries have been whole-heartedly helping this patients who unluckily had diseases that are rare and sometimes have no medications yet. For us who are lucky enough to be disease-free, all we can do for them is to help them financially or by just praying for them.

Wika ng Pagkakaisa

           Taun-taon, ang buong Pilipinas ay nagdidiwang tuwing Buwan ng Agosto. Bakit? Dahil ang buwan lang naman na ito ay kung kailan isinilang ang ating "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" na si Manuel Luiz Quezon. Siya ay tinaguriang "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" dahil siya ang nagsulong na gumamit na lang ng isang wika ang ating bansa nang sa gayon ay mapadali ang pagkakaintindihan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino. Ang wikang kaniyang tinutukoy ay ang natatangi nating Wikang Pambansa, ang Wikang Filipino. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang buwan ng Agosto ang Buwan ng Wika ng Pilipinas.         Simula pa ng magsimula ang selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika, tuwing taon ay may iba't ibang tema na siyang tumutulong upang mabigyan, maisulong at mapatingkad ang kahulugan kung bakit kailangan pang ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Wika. Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika para sa taong ito ay "Wika ng Pagkakaisa". Para sa akin, nais ipabatid ng pariralang ito na ang Wikang Fili...

My Reflection for the Second Quarter

Image
IMPROVING MYSELF As months go by, encountering problems and challenges weren't new to me anymore. I mean, I was not that surprised like, "Oh no! How terrible my life is. Why do I need to suffer this much. Wasn't it enough to prove that I am capable of addressing this problems and challenges that are trying to push me down?". Instead, I feel grateful. Why? New problems and challenges mean new lessons to learn. And I can proudly and truly say that I learned this inside a classroom and a chair at a corner.  If First Quarter was a challenge for me, this Second Quarter was a thousand times much better. This is because I was capable of having more and more friends that make me even more confident than the last time I was typing my reflection from the past quarter. I can say that this change improved me so much. Changes that of course, has a big contribution for my studies this quarter - more stories to read, more mathematical problems to solve, more discoveries to...

A extensive research work on the following: 1. One Non-Windows Operating System 2. One CPU Scheduling Algorithm CPU Scheduling Algorithm First Come First Serve (FCFS) In the "First come first serve" scheduling algorithm, as the name suggests, the process which arrives first, gets executed first, or we can say that the process which requests the CPU first, gets the CPU allocated first. First Come First Serve, is just like FIFO(First in First out) Queue data structure, where the data element which is added to the queue first, is the one who leaves the queue first. This is used in Batch Systems. It's easy to understand and implement programmatically, using a Queue data structure, where a new process enters through the tail of the queue, and the scheduler selects process from the head of the queue. A perfect real life example of FCFS scheduling is buying tickets at ticket counter. Process that requests the CPU FIRST is allocated the CPU FIRST. Also ...
