REFLECTION

          Every grading period is full of challenges that we have to face. On the past three grading periods, no one of them was easy, instead when another grading period comes; it seems to be more challenging and harder than the past grading period. But we don’t have choice but to face it.

I still remember when it was the first meeting of this subject. When they introduce this subject ICT IV, I thought that this subject was the same as our ICT during our First Year until Third Year. But as different topics goes on, I slowly realize that I was wrong. We’ve faced so many challenges and errors in blogging. But those challenges were truly inspired me a lot to strive harder so that I can coupe up with my errors and make my blog more interesting and amazing. And now, this is already the last chapter of our ICT. I’m proud to say that I was totally learned from my mistakes, I can apply those strategies I’ve learned from my past lessons. I’m also thankful to my teacher and to my classmates for their unending support and guide towards the success of my activities. They’ve contribute a lot in my blog and including my activities. Now, I’m not worried anymore of what I’m doing to my blog cause’ I know I have my teacher and friends there to guide me.

Behind those challenges we've faced, there is always a lesson that we can learn from it. Take it as an inspiration and always do your best in making a thing that you can contribute in to the world. Don’t be afraid to commit errors because from those errors, me learn.

My Dream, My Future

Do you believe that in this world, there is a human that no dream in the future? I don’t think so. All of us have our own dream in the future. All of us want to be successful in their careers; some maybe wants a peaceful and happy life together with their family. Whatever it is, I know that we can achieve our dreams if we have courage and trust in ourselves.

When I was in Grade IV, I remember that my first dream in life is to become a successful doctor someday. It is because I want to help those people who can’t afford the financial budget due to lack of money. But that dream was totally vanished when I grew up and turn to Grade VI. My dream to become a doctor was changed into lawyer. My adviser Ma’am Ma. Theresita Peredo made me realized that dream. She inspired me a lot and helps me to enhance my abilities. But suddenly when I turn to high school, that dream was also vanished when I realize that all I want to become in the future is to be a successful “accountant.” I’ll study hard just to make sure that I can reach that dream in life. And if I ever reach that dream, I’ll work hard in either to earn money for my family. I want to help my parents in life because they’ve sacrificed a lot only to make sure my bright future. And lastly, I want to show to them how much I love them both and I’m so thankful and blessed that they were my parents.

We were the drivers of our own lives. So we are the one who is capable of what’s we will reach in the future. “Dream while there is still time, Strive harder while there

is still chance.”

Change: It Starts With Me

                “CHANGE” has a lot of definition. It maybe changes in characteristics, change in climate, change in the world, or even change in you. So change has a wide definition. But for me, I choose to define change in “Growing Up.” Growing up for me has a lot of changes. Change in styles, moods, and even manners.

                Every one of us is passing through puberty. And each of us is growing up year by year. And we all know that when we were in the stage of growing up, there are a lot of changes we’ve been experiencing. In nowadays, some of those who experience growing up have change a lot starting from their body, characteristics, manners and styles. I admit that I was one of those. I’ve been change a lot in my manners and styles during my growing up period. From simple down to stylish, from childish down to young man, from simple person down to artistic person. Those were only some of many changes that occur in my life. But all in all, it’s still me, the person when I was a child and until now. Growing up doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew up side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that.

                “Parent’s can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.” Part of growing up is realizing you learn to love so many people. It’s about forming those relationships and finding what will last forever.

INSIGHT ABOUT KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL

          Kannawidan Ylocos Festival was also an occasion to strengthen the Ilocano culture, recognize Ilocos Sur's son's and daughters who brought honor to their province. It starts on January 29 to February 03. Various festivities were staged from trade, agriculture, aqua and livestock.

          This festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. We should be proud with this because we are having this for tourists to appreciate our rich culture. Moreover, let us all preserve these cultures for next generations and this will serve as our trademarks as an Ilocano.

          I hope that this years occasion will be more successful than last year. And hope we'll enjoy these festival even in a short period of time.

3rd GRADING REFLECTION

          

                                       I'm READY....

  Every grading period seems to be a challenge to us students. A lot of activities to be done. Whether we like it or not, we have no choice instead to do it. As this grading period ends, I know I learned more things and strategies like in the past grading periods.

             But, before it ends like this, I know there were so many challenges and problems I encountered during this period. Some of those are: busy in doing a lot of assignments, projects, researches, not enough time even though if we have Christmas Break, doing the group project alone. There were also some activities outside the campus like the BSP camp in Brgy. Fortune, Marikina City in five days. And as we participate in those activities, absences in our class occurred. So I don’t have enough time to pass all my requirements. But I learn something in this grading period, and that is to budget the time in doing my requirements so I can pass it earlier.

            For the Fourth Grading Period, I know that it is more stressful and more challenges to be face. But I’m ready to face those challenges because I am confident of what I’ve learn from my mistakes in the last grading periods.

NEW YEAR!...NEW ME!

Happy 2015...

New Year is not new to us. And every New Year comes; each of us has our own belief that we are doing. But whenever New Year comes, some of us make a list of what to change and what to do in the coming years. At the end of the year each of us are trying to change the bad characteristics that we have done in that year, and were trying to surpass those wrong deeds and change it to good deeds. But are we really changing those?

For me, I don’t believe in those things. It is automatic to a person sometimes to make a mistake because all of us commit mistakes. In those mistakes, we should coup up and try to avoid it and we must put in our mind that those mistakes will guide us to face the challenges in our way. Every New Year, I learned from those mistakes and I get stronger from those. It is better to be positive thinker person, to see the victory in challenges.

Essence of Christmas

Joy to the World

            

     We are in that special season again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind.  But, wait a minute! What does Christmas mean to you? What was the real essence of Christmas?

           Today’s Christmas is no longer a celebration of Christ and happiness, but it is now a celebration of now a fake, Santa Claus. 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 way. We must know what’s the real essence of Christmas is. Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of Christmas which is the true love of God and humanity. Like what is said in the bible verse John 3:16 “For god so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have eternal life.” So we must remember the real essence of Christmas, it is not about those gifts, decorations, and lights, instead it is the spirit of giving and forgiving.

               

  “Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.”
