Reflection for 4th Grading

Last grading has getting to end. Graduation is getting nearer.  And I am feeling right now is happiness, excitement, and loneliness. I’m happy because all the hard work we’ve done was all worth it. And this year we are going to graduate in High school. I’m excited because there is a new chapter of my life coming ---COLLEGE. I’m also lonely because of the people that I’m going to left in high school who’s been a big part of my life---My Best friends, Friends, Teachers, Classmates, Crushes, and let’s not forget my Enemies who made me stronger than ever.  Now, I’m saying goodbye. It’s hard. It hurts. If I can just back forward the past when we were still in first year so that our time together will still last. But there’s no forever and I know we all had each other’s journey to our dreams.

For all those past grading, 4^th grading was the best ever but it’s also the worst. It is the best because I have more lot times w/ my friends and best friends. And days can only count for the end of our 4 Chapters in life--- HIGH SCHOOL. It is also the best because I also believe in designing my future. I often have ideas (visions, really) about what I want to do next and where I want to go and what kind of work I want to do. I unlock all constructions around these visions and let my mind wander anywhere and everywhere -- the expansiveness to dream is freeing. This grading makes me realize that “time is really important.” If you don’t know to spend time worthy w/ your love one’s, your life in high school isn’t that really complete. Our time is limited and we all know that. We can’t stop it neither back forward or fast forward it. So we must account our time w/ all our friends and teachers and forgot the misunderstandings w/ my enemies. Now, I can release all the anger and pain that they made me felt. In the other side, 4^th grading is also the worst because as a first section in regular class in 4^th year, we must pass our projects earlier and that’s because our last exam will be on February 20, 2015. Too early right? So, this time I am again rushing all my requirements for this grading. Nothing changed. Still passing my projects on the exact deadline like now, I am doing my draft in I.C.T. w/c the deadline is today. IV- Rizal students were all haggard also because were busy in our Extra Curricular Activities w/c is required for ranking. Even teachers are busy because graduation is getting nearer and nearer. It is the worst because I’m going to leave all the people who have been a big part of my life whom I met in a home-like school--- IOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

          I want to take this opportunity to say “Goodbye, Thank you and Good luck”. Thank you for all the experiences and memories. All of those serves as my entire treasures and will stay in my mind and heart. Thank you because you made me strong, you made me feel important and part of your life. Thank you for the laughter’s we shared, the tears, love, pain and your understandings. And I want say that my Goodbye’s doesn’t mean were not see each other’s again but it is just for a mean time and I hope we’ll see each other again on the time when we are all successful. Good luck for our journey or another chapter of our life and with all our desires and dreams for our future will become true and I hope we will be all successful. May God bless us all and guide us in our way to reach our stars. I all love you and I’ll miss you! Thank you and Goodbye! See you around!J

My Dream, My Future

         Dream whatever you want. Dream until you can. Dream until you reach for the stars. I know that you too have many dreams in life.  And all of us want all those dreams be granted. Especially us, students who want to be successful in life w/c are still studying and striving the hardest we can for our future. But, did you ever know/dream of what will you be in the future?

I always dream about my future. If what will I become in the future. A successful businesswoman, a well-known Teacher and a broadcaster. That is how I see myself for tomorrow. Well, maybe it’s too much fir me to say and I can’t predict it neither. But nothing is impossible right? As long as we DREAM, LIVE, and FIGHT for our dreams, STARS would be getting nearer and much easy to us to reach or get it. We just only think about how much more lively we are to hit our target, when we aim at it.

          It doesn't matter how big or small your dreams are. As long as you dream and trust in yourself that you can make it possible, you can write your FUTURE! You can do your FUTURE! Because nobody holds your future except YOU! And I know this time that my dreams would be my future. Keep Dreaming! J

Change: It Starts with Me

         

   Every human, Man or woman are unpredictably changing.  Where change is permanent to all of us. Even if the kindness person you ever know- changed. These changes happen because of the people around us or even our experience w/c we changed for the good or we changed for the worst. But if I’ll ask you, “Will you change yourself?”And if you changed, “What will be the first thing you will do or start?

       Change for the better…… Change for the World. This is I would like to change myself. I don’t want to be just a liability in our society. Though, I would like to be an asset. And in order to be an asset, I would like to change and start it w/ myself. In saving our Nature/ Mother Earth from disaster. I would like to merge all the countries together so the World will be less competitive and it will cause PEACE for everyone. I would like to remove also the concept of hate and replace it LOVE, so every one of us would be tolerant toward one another and help each other. Then, I think the World will change. I am not saying that I can do such all those things for me to change the World just by myself. But I would like to start changing for the better to help our society to progress and have unity, to have Peace, Love and will able our Mother Earth. It starts with me. And it would be rather help our “World Change” if we all will step forward, take a move and change for the better.

       I will change myself to become better and a model to other youth like me. Not just because for myself but for every one of us in the world. I would like to persuade/ convince everybody. To let us all holds each others hands and strengthen ourselves. Let’s change the World! Let’s make it better than we used to. 

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival

 

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is Ilocos Sur's week-long festivity which is celebrated not only by the locals but also foreign tourists. The main aim of the festival is to exhibit and promote the products and precious cultures of Ilocanos. This annual event seeks to make people aware of the rich Ilocano culture, traditions and practices so that they would be preserved. The festival includes competitions that involve their local products like basi drinking competition and empanada eating contest.

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.

7th year celebration of the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, we shall witness another milestone of quality and majestic programs and activities which will highlight the strengthening overview of a true Ilocano. Governor Singson mentioned: “We want to preserve our heritage, considering that Vigan is now included in the New Seven Wonder Cities of the world. The youth has a vital role in prospering our culture and be able to foster a genuine view of how can we sustain this milestone.” Expect the enjoyment, the thrill and the excitement of this year’s Kannawidan Ylocos Festival: bringing the best to the Ilocano people which will start on January 29, 2015. This year brings us lots of changes and innovation as Gov. Ryan preferred it from a week of festivities extending it to almost a month, in order to have longer time to enjoy the event, giving opportunities to our constituents coming from farther municipalities to grace the merriment. Talents of the Ilocanos will also have its peak in its night as the Siglat Ylocandia conducts its annual grand finals. games in the province, recognize our meritorious Gawad Titong Singson awardees and add the tremors of cute and petite little ladies for the Saniata ti ubbing giving emphasis on the role of children in propagating Ilocano culture in their young age Mark the pleasure to horse fanatics as we bring you the Lumba ti kabalyo, how about tuning in to the latest buzz with the First Media Awards, which will let our local artists and programs take a bow. Spend the last days of our kannawidan with a Motorshow that will thrill your nerves out.. A venue and time to appreciate history, people and the quintessence of Ilocos Sur pride and Glory, because you know that: IT’S SURE FUN IN ILOCOS SUR! 

REFLECTION

my journey

Here I am again, writing my journey. 3^rd grading again has passed. And I had a great time this grading. Even though I am not always present in our class in I.C.T. because of the contests I've participated, I still understand those some things that my teacher taught. But ‘til now I have problems during this grading.

       I have problems in posting my drafts because I don’t have the first draft in my flash drive (USB) and that draft was save to my classmate’s flash drive. I really don’t know what to do. So until now I am rushing. And this is the last draft I’m going to post. I hope this is the last time that I’ll be rushing my blogs.

       So now, I’m going to be ready all the time so that I will never have any problems again in my study. Because rushing makes you really feel haggard. L L L

New Year New Me

be a better one.. 2014 has ends. 2014 was full of happiness but there are also which cause me pain, made me felt angry and felt depression. And now 2015 has come, a new year for us to explore, a long journey again to take. I know most of us make our New Year’s Resolution. So why don’t you share it? Are you going to change your lifestyles? Are you going to have your new you?             For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to MAKE a BEGINNING- - T.S. Ellot. Now, my new year’s resolution is to have a new beginning and change myself a better one. Because I know in myself that I’m not really a perfect person, I’ve made a lot of mistakes before. I want to change my bad attitudes that I’ve used to be. I want to think 100 times first before I make any decisions because sometimes my anger overcomes me that made people hates me. And I will lowered my voice also because most of the people around me, especially those who don’t really know me are getting annoyed and irritated. I know that it’s hard to change ourselves to be better. But I will really change myself. And I want to prove to all of you that I can, that I can be a better one that will make you adore me.             Make yourselves an asset. Have a new beginning. To this day, I will make myself be better than you ever had been expected. May this year be a fresh start and a beautiful new beginning. HAPPY NEW YEAR J

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

christmas…

When you hear the word Christmas, the first things would come out to your mind would be exchanging gifts, non-stop parties and mouthwatering lushes. But all of these things are not really the essence of Christmas. So what is really the essence of Christmas?

          As the days passes by, Christmas is also getting nearer. I can feel Christmas as I walked out and see those beautiful lights outside the houses and those big Christmas trees around the city. Students are also excited for their Christmas programs/ parties in school as well for more/ less two weeks’ vacation. You can also see children and old ages along the highway walking and going to every house to have their carols. Fireworks are also there. People also are used to have their “Noche Buena” when it’s already twelve on the “Bisperas ng Pasko” But let us not forget why there is Christmas. December 25, Christmas, is the day when Jesus Christ was born. And the essence of Christmas for me is giving and sharing your blessings w/o expecting any replacement. And Christmas is not just for those who are rich. Christmas is for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any money for “Noche Buena”, as long as you are w/ your family and having Jesus w/ your hearts.

         

     Christmas is something that we must really celebrate. But let us all remember what really the essence of it. And let us thank God for all the blessings that he is giving to us. And let us thank God for sending Jesus Christ here in earth to save us from our sins. We must all treasure it.
