Essence of Christmas



Bottle Caps used as TambourinesIt's December again! The winds are getting colder and the nights are getting longer! People are fixing their Christmas Trees. Colorful lights are set to entertain our eyes. Children are  joyfully and happily singing songs in the tune of bottle caps as tambourines and large cans as drums while stopping by on every other house. Every member of the family are gathered around a long table to conquer a bunch of delicious and mouth-watering foods. Yep! The Christmas spirit had finally begun.


But it doesn't end here. There's more to explore and learn about the so called "happiest day of the year". Many of us are familiar only with the baby on the manger with mother Mary and San Pedro nearby and Three Kings offering gifts for the new born baby. What about the true essence of it? One is sharing not only of material things but also of ourselves with all our heart. Joy is another one which is a way of expressing our gratitude to the Lord for our saviour had come. Another is love which is needed to be given to everybody for us to have unity and peace around the world. Now let me ask you, are you valuing these things? Are you doing these things? If not, then you should start from now. If not, Santa won't give you your present, Just kidding.

Just a few days from now, Christmas Day will be celebrated. Let us bring life to the true essence of Christmas and don't forget the main reason why we're celebrating December 25, the birth of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone.

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...

IT25a - Operating System Project

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 ...
