"First Quarter Knowledge in 

         Information and Communication Technology"

                       Freshies, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors life at Ilocos Sur National High School. Many things I've learned in every subjects. Like the subject ICT, its all about information and communication technologies. Since grade 8, I've learned on how the computer works and parts of it, parts of a Microsoft Word and the use of it and how to use the Microsoft Excel. In 3rd year, I've learned on how to use PowerPoint, how to make movies, how to use a Microsoft Access and etc.
                       This 4th year life, first grading period, all I've learned about the ICT subject was the Internet timeline about the years, developers and was developed by the developers. I've learned when Sputnik was launch (1957-1960) ; 1st paper on packet switching by Leonard Kleinrock (1961) ; MIT introduces the Galactic Network Concept by JCR Licklider and W Clark (1962) ; more studies came out on computer networking and packet-switching (1964-1966) ; first design paper on ARPANET by Larry Roberts (1967) ;  first four nodes: UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, U California Santa Barbara and University of UTAH (1969) ; fifteen nodes (1970-1971) ; e-mail was born ( 1972) ; first international connection to the ARPANET: University College of London (England) via NORWAR or norway (1973) ; TCP/IP protocol was developed by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn (1974) ; Elizabeth II, Queen of United Kingdom, send out a e-mail (1976) ; emoticons :-) and :-( by Scott Fahlman used in e-mail (1979) ; 1st virus attacked on ARPANET (1980) ; Domain Name System (DNS) introduced the number of hosts breaks 1000 (1984) ; Computer Emergency Response Team Formed (1988) ; Tim Berners-Lee of CERN develops the concept of hypertext (1989) ; actual release of the World Wide Web (www) by CERN (1990-1991) ; Internet Society (ISOC) was chartered L Janvary (1992) and when the Philippines connects to the Internet (1994).
                        I've found also what's the meaning of Internet; its major components; how web servers and browsers worked together; data types; multimedia and parts of it. I've learned also on how to use blogger for us to share messages, letters, videos, pictures and more that are happening in our daily lives. I've learned also the meaning of blog; types of it such as personal blogs, corporate blogs, question blogging, by media types ( vlog, linklog, photoblog, sketchblog, tumbleblogs, MP3 blog, phlog) ; by device (mobile blogging) ; by genre (political blogs, travel blogs, house blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs, classical music blogs, quizzing blogs, legal blogs, splog) ; community cataloging (blogosphere) ; blog search engines (bloglines, blogoscope, technorati) ; main parts of a browser (toolbar, address bar, web page, downloading indicator) ; a browser fetch the web page from a server by a request ; page address is contained in the HTTP request ; protocol is a set of rules that defines the format of the data packets and the semantics of their use ; domain name also referred to as the web site's "address", the domain name pinpoints the location of an entity on the web : levels of domain name ( 3rd level domain, 2nd level domain, top level domain (tld) ) ; top level domain examples (.gov- government agencies, .edu- educational institution, .org-organizations, .mil-military, .com-commercial, .net- network organization, .bit- business ; portfolio of metrics (# of visitors, # of posts, # of comments, # of inward links, geographical distribution of of users, # of feed readers, # of aggregators) and etc.
                          There are no problems that I have encountered this first quarter, but there were challenges that I had overcome while gaining our lessons. In the first lesson, it was hard for me to memorize directly the internet timeline, afterwards I reviewed this as much as I want to memorize, then the result was better 'cause I had memorized the dates, the discoveries and the developers. It was hard for me also to understand about the types of blog, I decided to read what our teacher gave us about blog for me to know all the details about blogs. And I address this by annalizing our lessons so that I can understand what's the importance and uses of our lessons.
                          Our eyes are in front because it's more important to look back. Don't dwell on thing in the past. Learn from them and keep moving forward. Move on it's just a chapter in the past. But don't close the book. Just turn the page. I'm hoping that this next quarter, I will learn more things about ICT and  more discoveries in this subject.

              "President Benigno Aquino 

         4^th State of the Nation Address"

                      Last July 22, 2013, President Benigno Aquino registered to his 4^th State of the nation address what he have done and success for his administration. It is not allowed that it will not noticed that the difference, for the right, of the administration of the president, success was became stronger to the election and high trust of the citizen. To the aspect of education, work particular to the graduates of TESDA, projects that was delerict by the past administration, reformation for the charity including Philhealth, SSS, conditional cash transfer, health and modernization of the police and military. There are persons he commended of his Cabinet for the good work that they have done to the citizens and compliant for his right road. Three police also were commended for their good works. And the 1st  time, he criticized some of the agencies under his administration for being a bad workers- Immigration because of the escaped suspects, Customs because of the continuous admission of the contraband or not paying for the right tariff, and the National Irrigation Administration that he commended during their anniversary. 

                     Because Aquino is in the middle for his term as the President, he decided to mention that all the success of his regulation of the government, similar to the agreement to MILF and the good economy that were perceptible some institution in the other country. He also mentioned the cases of the past administration- anomaly of TESDA where he named the suspects, the anomaly of PAGCOR and also to the PNP. I'm glad because he mentioned the accusation of the PNP right now. The incident rub out in Atimonan, and the present investigation for killing to the head of Ozamis Gang- Ricky Cadavero, that rub out was the angle.

                    But he cannot make us all happy. There are common "kilos-protesta" of the common agencies and groups, he mentioned the common complaint to any sitting official in the Palace. There are hot issues that were avoided, like the hoaxing to the government that P10 billion was the amount together with the pork barrel was used by some of the legislator. President relatively kept this issue. Only one person can't do this alone, or any one administration that 6 years only all of the problems of the country. Large cause of this were the left or inherited or defect of the past administration, more on his agreement. But he specified that his all reformation and programs should be continuous moving, and it will not be hard for the citizens to suspect. He threatened all the disruptive and all of the unknown anomalous in the government, and their days was already numbered. I'm hoping so. I want to see that all the guilty will be pent, not only filing cases that still not working or creeping. And I want like the three police that were commended all the PNP. Hoping that this will be the words to his 2 last SONA.

"Gutom at Malnutrisyon Sama-sama nating Wakasan"

                  Hunger and malnutrition are the common problems of developing countries like the Philippines. We cannot easily eliminate these problems due to the rapid increasing of the poor people in our country. Day by day many Filipino citizen were suffering because of the less amount of budget and high prices of food products for the mass. Poorest of the poor are the people who are not eating because of the political corruption.

                    Hunger and Malnutrition resulting from the situation tend to increase more and more each year. The government and people concern must find solutions to solve the problem. Jobs should be created to help people meet their needs. Training adults in cottage industries will help them earn extra money. People must plant vegetables in vacant lots or in their backyard to have nutritious food which are readily available and at the same time save money for other needs. Vegetables such as camote, pechay, squash and beans can be grown and harvested in a short span of time without much skills, money and time needed to grow the nutritious vegetables. Livestock such as chicken, goat, duck and pig can also be raised in a limited space and can be good sources of protein to solve malnutrition with resourcefulness, positive attitude and simple knowledge we can fight hunger and malnutrition. 

                     Let us all do our share to eliminate this problem. To move on and start the day healthy and to be energized.
