Intimacy of National and Native Languages

-
           In every month in August, we Filipinos always commemorate the Buwan ng Wika or the Linggo ng Wika which we jubilate our native languages and our national language which is the Filipino.

Filipino is elucidate by the Commission on the Filipino Language (Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino/ KWF) as the vernacular language that is used in speaking and writing in urban centers of the archipelago.

In the current days here in the Philippines and maybe to some other countries, too, the new generations of people/ citizen are somewhat nauseate on using their own language. Some more partial in using foreign languages like English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and etcetera.

       Some are constrained in using the native language of their country when they go to different places or destinations because they think that they don’t belong or fit in into the new era and for some to say that they don’t know the trend of the modern day.

This is called ‘Language Shaming’. Like other forms of stigma, language shaming may have disadvantageous effects on the groups or even individuals concerned that may lead to social alienation.

Why would you disgust your own language when in the first place it was the first language you’ve learned? Why would you rather use foreign than those native languages of your homeland? Let’s not be disparage, we should enrich and love our own. As Dr. Jose Rizal said, “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda” in English “He who does not love his own language is worse than a smelly fish.”

DREAM OF THE FUTURE

Ever since I was a kid, I always want to become neurosurgeon and an engineer. Since life is so hard, I planned on becoming an engineer first so that when I earned a lot of money, I’ll study again to become a neurosurgeon. Dreaming even when you have a hard life means fighting a dragon with faith because we cannot assure if we’re really going to be what we really want in the future but at least we’ve tried even there’s no assurance. There’s no wrong about dreaming as long as it gives you happiness and to your loved ones. Source:  https://giphy.com/gifs/vaporwave-chillwave-dreamwave-TgmSMsUvvRfbivssMz

Final quarter has finally come, it’s sad to think that this will be my last grading with my MaxConi Fam and being a SSC student. My junior high moment will end here. The memories that have made will remain, so as my love for them.           From being a warfreak in the 7th grade to being a crybaby this 10th grade, being here right now for like 4 years with my MaxConi babies, I learned a lot, I meet new friends and called them FAMILY. But sadly, there's always a goodbyes. I hope the next time we meet again, you're already wearing your lab coats, suits, engineer helmet and carrying a briefcase.           Time is running out and so as my term as a Corporal S8 in the CAT Organization but the moments with my beloved officers and trainees will be treasured. I never thought of making a lot friends until I entered High School. I guess High School life is really the best. Farewell to all. Until we meet again my CAT and MaxConi Fam. This is...

Still me in New Year

Source:  https://giphy.com/gifs/girls-heart-i-love-you-3o7WIxFVNzXbeqgPiU          Another decade, another year but I’ll stay the same but refined. A new year to make a better decision, to set aside the bad vibes and ponderous problems, to make another dream come true, setting a new goal for another victory.         Thanking back the past years for the lessons and failures that became an encouragement and strength to strive harder and wiser, for the new knowledge. This year, this decade, whatever tears me apart, I won’t let it break my heart.
