Reflection

 

Just a few days from now, we will going to leave our school and go to our own different ways to college. We will be going to our paths that we choose to travel. Everything will be new again just like the beginning, new classmates, new teachers and new surroundings.               

   

The hard thing now is how will we be able to adjust ourselves again? To these new environment that we have and that is the problem now, I am sure that everyone of us will miss each other especially for those who have created tight bond and strong connections already. How will you leave this family that you've been with for the four years of your lives? Of course it’s going to be hard but we have to do it. Face the world alone just like from the start when we first step our feet in school.

  For this last grading the only problem I encounter is time management, how am I going to use my time wisely in making requirements, projects, assignments and other outputs? Time is moving too fast and deadlines are getting nearer and nearer that’s why I’m pressured.

   Although there are many activities and a lot things to do I still find a way to pass my requirements on time and even before the deadline with the help of my friends and parents. I’m so lucky to have them because I can count on them. I didn’t waste my time  watching TV, browsing on the internet or playing in my phone instead I use my time to work with my unpassed projects.

   Moving on, I will continue my life on college and I will forever cherish all the memories I have experience in my school. I will always remember the lessons that I’ve learn here. I’m not ready to leave yet but life must go on no matter what happens.

My Dream, My Future

Everything in life has a great start but at the same time, it also ends. Like us, we need to have direction in life. Nothing is impossible in this world so as long as there’s free, we have to do it like the so called having dreams in life. Even though we don’t know what will gonna happen to us in the future, we must still hold on to our dreams.

 In my 16 years of existence in this world, I’ve already experienced such a lot of things. And in those experiences, there are dreams behind. But I just don’t know if I’ll be able to reach all of those. A question popped in my, “What will I become in 10 years?” What I’m doing is I’m still holding on on what I want to do in my life so that I will become successful someday. Maybe after ten years, I see myself as a professional architect. I’ve build two houses, one for me and another for my family. I’ve married the one I really love and went to different places with her. Lastly is I’ve had a peaceful life with my wife and our children. And I know that 10 years from now, I’ve already reached all of those by myself and also with the help of praying to God.

 Like what I’ve said, nothing is impossible. As long as it’s free, do it. Our life is the best gift God has ever given to us. So let’s not waste it on useless things. Let us do such great things in order to become successful in life. Because if we don’t move by ourselves, how will our future be?

Change: It Starts With Me

    We all know that nothing is permanent in this world. Everything changes, even those small things. And also us, if we change, it must be for the better not for the worse.

   I’m just the type of girl that is very sensitive in all things. I’m the dramatic, immature, and the childish one. But not at all times, only sometimes. I easily find myself crying for unimportant things, even if it’s just a small sort of a problem. But all I know is, my feelings were just hurt because of the instances taking place in those happenings. So if I were to change myself, I wanna make myself a brave one. A brave girl enough to handle those problems that is going through my life.

Insight: Ylocos Kannawidan Festival

Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that are to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generations already. Children of today are paying more attention to the modern and novelty dances they seen on the television than the traditional ones. There is also a need to evaluate the different products of the different municipalities and the agricultural products and livestock of the farmers and fisher folks. Because of this, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur conceived a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN Ylocos Festival, it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province since it was separated on February 3, 1818.The celebration was opened by a celebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints of the 40 parishes and images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the province’s capital city. This shows the deep rooted religiosity of the Ilocanos. Rev. Fr. Roque Reyes who officiate the mass articulated in his homily that this festivity is the time to thank the Almighty not only for the abundance He showered for the province but also the rich heritage of the place including the strong ties among the Ilocano families.

A Glimpse in the 3rd Grading Period

 Time really flies so fast. One eightht of being a fourth year student is now over. Or shall I say, the Second Grading Period has already ended. And the five months I shared with my teachers and classmates was all worth it. And one of the subjects I loved this Second Grading Period is ICT. I really love this subject because I really have a great interest on computers.

In five months now of being in school, I've already learned a lot of things about our subject ICT. And our main focus in this subject is "Internet". At first, I thought to myself that I know all about the internet. But it's not. There are still a lot of things I need to discover. And with the help of our teacher in this subject, I've already known all about the instances of internet. And without this subject, I'm not posting any blogs here in blogger because I just learned blogging when our teacher taught us to. Having this subject is a big help for me. From this subject, I learned how to make my own blog, wherein I can freely express my thoughts, without having anyone to judge me and I was able to share it to my fellow students, teenagers and other people.

I know that in this subject, there will be more fun and enjoyable lessons to learn, wherein I can express myself and skills in computer. Because, ever since I was at my elementary days, I really love exploring the computer. And through this subject, I believe that I can still improve my knowledge about this aspect because I expect more with ICT.

Happy 2015!

“New Year, New Me, “New Year, New Life”, “Oh 2015, please be good to me”, these are the most common thoughts that people say. And it’s not new anymore.

                Some people say we must change every next coming year. But for me, it’s not. There’s nothing that has to change but there is only we have to end. Let’s end our bad memories that we had and start something new for 2015.

                So, it’s another year again that we are going to treasure. So let’s enjoy everything and start a new beginning for a new happy life.

The Essence of Christmas

Today's Christmas is no longer a celebration of Christ and happiness, but is a celebration of a now fake, commercialized, overweight Santa Claus. The idea of eating yet another turkey dinner while watching a forgettable Disney movie on television brings tears of pain, not joy, to one's eyes. The main virtues of the holidays have gone from an idealistic white wonderland, to a migraine-causing festival of greed.

The Christmas of the past was once a beautiful celebration of the birth of Christ. Families would come together to enjoy the holidays together in a peaceful, loving environment. Children ran around in a pine scented home, clamoring over the presents that Santa had brought the night before. Even if the family was struggling, children would appreciate the hard work and thought put into each gift. At night mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters would curl beside a blazing fire and watch a classic Christmas movie called, "It's a Wonderful Life". This is what the true spirit of Christmas should be.

The Christmas of the present is not what it used to be. What once was a delightful, Christmas caroling time is now a chaotic, screaming in someone's face nightmare. Relatives avoid each other for fear of actually reliving bad childhood family moments.
