...................to..................  

!!!!!!!  BAGUIO  !!!!!!

(The City of Pines, The Summer Capital of the Philippines)

YAY!  XD

It was cOoL! Both literally and figuratively.
I was with Bona, Jeanie, T. Lei, Rimmer, Rico, Jay, and Martin. Great people who made Baguio trip more memorable! Hahaha! From the loooong bus trip to our 'homes' (cottages, we had two by the way, one was pretty scary good thing we transferred to a better one :P) to the activities to the trip back home again! :))))))

I went to the 23rd YMCA and I really learned a lot. We had leadership seminars, activities, different speakers, activities, contests, and a lot of activities! :D We were also put in different groups so I was able to interact with other delegates from other schools as well. It was good because I think it helped me improve my socialization skills, my leadership skills and in working with different kinds of people from different backgrounds. I also enjoyed the programs they prepared like cultural presentations from different schools and the ice-breakers were also fun! I was also able to meet new people and make new friends, but at the same time strengthen our old friendships and discover more about each other! :)

I really enjoyed my stay there in Baguio even if it was just for a week. (It felt like a month! Hahaha!) From waking up so early in the morning and staying up real late at night cracking jokes and basically just "horsing" around (Hi! Rico erm... Honkey Morseheim! LOL) Even the "hiking" we had to do just to get to the main hall and have breakfast! Wow, we had exercise every morning! Hahaha! XD

I also had fun going to some nice places in Baguio even if it's short and it seems like a rush. I was able to see beautiful places and realize that Philippines is indeed a beautiful country to live in! We went to take pictures, boating, take pictures, buy souvenirs, take pictures, and take a LOT of pictures! Yey! :P

This Baguio trip was a really wonderful and memorable experience for me.    :)       :D     XD
I'm so sad it's over, I could still remember the excitement I felt before going there. It seems like it was just yesterday... (sigh)

I hope I can come back again next time! Bye Baguio! T_T

(I brought pasalubongs! Missed you my family! :) Strawberry Jam! Yum!)

Speech!

I did an oratorical speech at school today!
It was about the Millenium Development Goals of the United Nations and I chose this topic:

 (I posted my speech on the blog before this...

Check it out! :D)

It was nerve-wracking and a... thoroughly new experience for me.
Before my speech, I was really, really nervous because a) it was my first time and b) I'm not sure i memorized everything! I actually stopped and stumbled on some words on my speech... lol
And you know what???
<<<I got SECOND PLACE!!!!!!!!!! Wooohoooo! Yay! :D>>>

I think I really improved a lot especially in terms of public speaking. (Yey! :P)
Before I can't even utter a single word in front of people, now I can speak in front of the school. From a shy and introverted person I think I was able to gain a bit of confidence in myself.
I'm soooooo happy! XD

XD My fave emoticon from now on... XD XD XD lol

Reduce Child Mortality

                 What were you like when you were five years old?I bet most of you would be pampered and cared for by your parents, with candies and chocolates in your pockets, and without a care in the world but to just play, be active, and be healthy.

               Now, imagine yourself: a five-year-old child, with face gaunt and full of misery, with bodies as thin as skeleton, and so weak from suffering numerous ailments.  Pitiful. Hard to imagine yourself that way. But you know,  it’s not just in your imagination. It is real. It exists. It happens.

               Do you know that more than 8 million children under the age of five die every year? Can you just imagine how many mothers have grieved for their children, how much innocent lives were lost, and how much future have disappeared?

               And that is why the United Nations (UN) has established the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which aims to resolve problems in the society and in the world. And one of the main issues that are addressed is the death rate of children especially those ages five and below.  Therefore the UN proposed MDG4 which strives to reduce child mortality all over the world. It started in the year 1990 and targets to diminish child mortality rate by two thirds by the year of 2015. It's already 2011, four more years to go. Do you think it’s possible? Can we really do it? No. Without everyone’s help and cooperation, we cannot. But if all of us unite, then together we can do it. 

               According to the WHO (World Health Organization), many children die from pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and other neonatal causes. These were mostly ailments due to bacteria, viruses, and other infections due to the lack of basic needs and a clean environment. Could you allow this to happen? Would you let them perish and steal away their opportunity to see this world? Give them a chance. Allow them to reach their fifth birthdays. Allow them to live. Give them the gift of life.

        And we can do something. Overall, some progress has been made towards the achievement of MDG4. The total number of under-5 deaths in the world has declined from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. This is a satisfactory start. However, a lot more could be done. We can start by providing healthcare for newborns and their mothers, by expanding programs for affordable and free immunizations and vaccines, and by promoting infant and child feeding for the improvement of nutrition.  There is also a need for an easier access to basic services such as clean water and proper sanitation. There is a need to provide these needs, so let’s all listen. Are we listening? Or are we just simply hearing? We’re always expressing our reaction? Why don’t we take some action?

              

              Let us reduce child mortality. Because children are the key to a new progressive world. Children are the hope for a better future. A small infant can make a difference. This young child will be the country’s most competent businessman. This young child will be the world’s most prominent doctor, lawyer, and scientist. This young child will be our nation’s greatest leader.

             So, would you allow young children and infants to be robbed of their own existence? Of their own future?

                Don’t.    Because a child’s future is the world’s future.

VICTORY!
