SOanoNA ?

This blog is not to put down the Sona of our president gloria arroyo, it is niether a blog to defend her. Some people say dont listen to the sona wala lang yan its the same old story and nothing is going to come of it. Well, i say try running a country that is on a nose dive to extreme poverty, try running a country where even school teachers are corrupt, and try running a country where your citizens a re ignorant of laws and choose to evade all responsibility.

Gloria is an economist that is what she knows to do. If people do pay attention our economy is really growing. we cannot expect to have it boom in the terms that gloria has seated as president. We cannot expect to rise from third world status just because of gloria. To raise a country from poverty takes years nd years and years of hard work and big changes.

All i really have to say is, I think people should just stop judging and imagine how it would be if they were in glorias shoes. Shes bringing our eonomy up i think we should be happy about that and we have seen that she has done alot of projects. Yes she may have done alot to disappoint us but we cant just keep pulling her down we should all do our part for the country and that will really make a big difference.

which is sharper the pen or the tongue?

In the olden times people relied on their relationship with certain people to ensure that their messages get to the reciever with no changes on the message. Of course we all know we cannot rely on other people to send our messages. And so writing became a more popular way of sending messages. And until now writing things down on paper is ised it immortalizes your message and your work to ensure that your message may be read and interpreted the way that you wanted it to.

Now, people seem to be bored with reading and more and more people turn to more visual things to excite the mind without having to sacrifice the message. Media now takes advantage of technology and the laziness of people to read.

Personally, I would really enjoy a more visual and vocal kind of communication. It really does entice a person to listen and really understand what the person is trying to say.

SONA-na-na-naman

I really don’t know how to start. I even asked my mom to give me her comments on Arroyo’s SONA. Oh well, after reading her script online, may mga naisip na din ako bigla.

“Just a few months ago, we ended 2007 with the strongest economic growth in a generation. Inflation was low, the peso strong and a million new jobs were created. We were all looking to a better, brighter future.”

Uhm, she didn’t say this, right? Grabe naman. Ganto pa pala tingen niya sa Pilipinas. Fine, sige, madaming na-create na mga bagong trabaho, pero ung mga maga-apply dun by contract lang. For 6 months lang sila puwede. Sa tingen ba niya, sa loob ng 6 months, makakaahon na yung mga trabahador na yun sa kinlalagayan nila ngayon? Sige, Oo nalang sa kanya. rawr! Sumakit ulo ko sa kanya.

“Because tough choices were made, the global crisis did not catch us helpless and unprepared.”

Hindi ako naniniwala dito sa sinabi niya. Kung nakapag-prepare talaga tayo edi sana hindi nangyayari yung pagtaas ng gas araw-araw, sana hindi nagkaroon ng shortage sa bigas, sana maayos ang pamumuhay ng bawat pilipino. Sana lang naman. Kaya, she can never say na nakapag-prepare tayo, kasi halatang halata naman na hindi, wala siyang proof, sinong niloko niya?

Yea right! Totoo na as our president SHE SHOULD solve our problems. Pero hindi nga naman ganun kadaling gawin yun. Pero dapat magisip siya, sa dinami- dami ng advisers niya dapat kahit konti man lang nakaisip na siya ng magandang hakbang para umasenso naman ang Pilipinas.

“I am accessible to you, but I spend time every day with the underprivileged and under represented who cannot get a grip on their lives in the daily, all-consuming struggle to make ends meet.”

Sinabi niya yan, gawd. Eh lagi nga siyang may picture sa diyaryo na ka-shake hands kung sino mang tao yun. Naka- formal attire pa sila. Ganun na pala magbihis ang mga mahihirap. Hindi naman sa sinasabi kong sinungaling siya pero kasi, may pictures na nagpapakita na hindi totoo yung mga sinasabi nya.

At umabot na tayo sa usapang VAT. Sinabi niya na kung aalisin daw ang VAT mawawalan tayo ng investors kasi lalo lang naman daw lumalakas ang tiwala ng mga investors dahil sa VAT natin. Eh parang dahan-dahan na pangungurakot lang yung ginagawa ng VAT eh. Tapos yung price ng text message, I don’t believe her na 50 centavos nalang yun ha. Kung sa kanya ganun, aba, suwerte niya, kasi sakin, 1 peso pa din.

Hindi naman sa sinisisi ko sa kanya lahat-lahat ng problema ng Pilipinas. Pero sana naman hindi siya mag-sugarcoat at palabasin na siya yung kawawa kasi madami daw siyang ginagawa at isip siya ng isip para umunlad ang Pilipinas. Ang kinlabasan kasi ng speech niya, parang wala na siyang ibang ginawa kung hind imaging isang napaka maalagang presidente na puro tulong lang ang inatupag sa termino niya. Buti sana kung totoo at nararamdaman natin yung pag-asensong sinasabi niya.

language

“Language is human speech, either spoken or written.”

* * * * *

Language is also the most common system of communication since it allows people to talk to each other and to write their thoughts and ideas. Oral and written are 2 ways of representing language. Oral tradition was commonly used before because papers and pens were not yet created. By using oral tradition, they can communicate with each other. People before were accustomed to the use of oral tradition when it comes to learning because this was the only way for them to pass on their knowledge. A young child can only use this tradition if an instructor would coach them. They will be able to imitate the sounds, words and sentences. However, as years and centuries passed, written tradition was then introduced to the people. This tradition gives people a much more formal education since written tradition can also act as a record. Written tradition exists only as a complement to oral tradition. Written tradition is a formal way of communicating with other people. In contrary, oral tradition is less formal and by using oral tradition, you will be able to talk to a person directly and in a casual way.
