** WHAT - WHY - HOW **

** WHAT? ** · One of the most important thing that a person must have is a “ **Brighter Future**”…

** WHY? ** · Having a “**Brighter Future**” is important because this is one of the special thing that can help you to be a better person someday. It can also teach you on how to stand on your own and how to live on your own.

** HOW? ** · In order to have a “**Brighter Future**”, as a student, I should study well and in every activities we are having at school I will do them in full effort. When I grow up, I will practice to stand on my own and practice to live on my own. I will try to finish my studies until I graduate in college because “**education**” is the only thing that my parents can give me while they are still alive. I will also try to find a job that can sustain my daily needs. After all that, when the right time comes, I will also have my own family and in order to help my kids to have their “**Brighter Future**”, I must teach them the way I did and I must be a good example to them at the same time.

** “ Differences of Canada and the Philippines “ ** Well, first of all Canada and the Philippines have a lot of differences. Yes, there are also some similarities between these countries. Some of the differences are the people, population, climate, education, work, food, and nationality. So, among all of these differences I will explain first the nationality.

We all know that Canadian and Filipinos are both people made by God. But, eventhough we are the same, automatically we also have differences. Yes, we are both people but the race we have is not the same and because of this we also differ in our customs and traditions. Why did I say so? Let’s find out….

Let’s start with the customs. We, Filipinos wear clothes that can cover all the sensitive and important parts of our body because we want to give respect to ourselves and at the same time to the people who can see us. While some of the Canadian, especially those who don’t know what’s wrong and right, and also those who don’t know the good morals, they wear clothes that are not appropriate to wear. Like wearing those blouses and shorts/skirts that can’t even cover their private parts. That kind of dressing doesn’t show any proper way of grooming. Some wear T-shirts with prints and words on it that show or say inappropriate words.

The next item is about the accessories that we put on our bodies. In my own opinion, Filpinos are artistic and creative because they have their accessories that are made of native products like bamboos, leaves and many more. The Canadians don’t have these style of accessories but, they are fashionable because they put big earings, shiny bling-blings and many more that can add a lot of beauty on their body. They don’t have the same style but they are both nice to wear.

Another topic is about the traditions. This part I can’t say a lot about the Canadian’s traditions because I still don’t know them very much. But, according to my observation, I see that they are very kind to people and they are also helpful. While the Filipinos are also kind and helpful to people, the best thing that can describe them is being **//“hospitable”.//** I think there are some of foreigners that believe these traits because whenever they go to the Philippines they are very comfortable. As much as possible we, Filipinos want them to have a presentable place for them to stay in.

Now let’s talk about the main differences of Canada and the Philippines. We all know that these two countries differ on it’s language and climate. Here, a lot of people speak in English and French while in the Philippines a lot of people speak in **//“Tagalog”//.** It is because it depends on the race we have. While talking about the climate, here in Canada it has four seasons; winter, spring, summer and fall while in the Philippines it only have summer and rainy seasons. It does not snow there because Philippines is surrounded by water that’s why it’s a little bit hot.

Talking about the job here and in the Philippines, they also differ. In Canada it doesn’t matter if you did not graduated from private schools the important thing that they want is that you can understand well, read and write. While in the Philippines, you must be a college graduate, you must be a rich person and you should know a lot of things to do in order for you to have a job. Actually, it’s hard to find a job in the Philippines especially if your poor.

Next, about the education. There are a lot of people saying that, the education in the Philippinesis so strict. But, I think that’s the best way to make the students listen to their teachers. Education in these two is nice but in my own opinion, the education in the Philippines is more systematic.

In conclusion, everyone of us have some differences and similarities because that’s the way God made us. Each of us have a negative and positive thing, beautiful and ugly, and many more. I can’t say more than these because I don’t still knew Canada and Canadians so much. But all of these differences and similarities must be respected by everyone of us.

**“Greatest Gifts”**

Gifts, WOW!!!! It sounds great right? Whenever we hear the word **“GIFT”** what comes to your mind? What do you feel? What is like receiving a gift or giving gifts? Does the feeling the same? Well, before anything else we must know the meaning of gift.


 * GIFT** is something that you receive from your love ones during special occassions. Is a thing wrap in different wrappers in different occassions. Gift is something that makes us feel happy and excited. It is something that we never forget whenever we look at it.

There are different kinds of gifts that we receive. During our birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, Christmas, promotions, shower parties. Our friends and relatives give us material things like dresses, bags, wallets, accessories, and many others.

Those people who are very close to you like “BESTFRIENDS”, they give us something which remind us of our happy memories in the past especially when you move to a very far place like me. Thay gave me letters, pictures, and some of their favorite things. I brought them all to Canada because I treasure my friends very much.

This is another kind of gift that money cannot buy. Those thoughtfulness, love, kindness, caring, truthfulness, and honesty of a person are the greatest gift that we can ever had in our life as long as we live. There are few who can give this without expecting in return. It feels good when you know that you are loved, when you give love and make others happy and when people are blessed because they have you. Isn’t that fantastic? But, beware there are some who can afford to give gifts without loving it simply because thay have to, thay want something from you, thay are planning against you which will lead into trouble. These are possible considering that people who did this doesn’t like you. I’m so lucky God blessed me with parents, brothers, friends who love me so dearly and most specially is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who always love me without any condition, who saved me from my sins and gave me the gift of EVERLASTING LIFE. Whatever I have right now is because of His great love for me.

We can consider a lot of gifts that are not material. The only thing that we have to do is to treasure the gifts we have and value them whatever prize they have.

I’m proud of my test about **//DRUGS//** eventhough I didn’t get a perfect mark. I only got 23 correct answers out of 30 items. I can say that I am proud of it because I’m not there when Mr. Mantolino discussed this topic. Actually I’m only “**//new//**”. When I arrived at school, I didn’t know that we’re having a test about it. One more thing is that, I don’t have the notes. What I did was just used my common sense and concentrate. Thank God I got a passing mark after all these problems..
 * PROUD OF…… **

I’m not proud of the activity that Mr. Mantolino told us to do. The activity is only easy to do, that’s what I knew. The activity was, we have to write a **slogan** about drugs. He told us that we must make a slogan that informs the drug users to stop using drugs. I only got 7 out of 10. I’m very upset on my work because I thought I made the right thing. Then, I realized that the reason I got a low mark because I rushed my work and I wrote some of the words wrong. = = = Social Studies =
