CHRISTMAS ESSENCE

As I am writing this one, there were only few days left before Christmas. The Christmas countdown is about to end. The cold breeze in the morning, the different and colorful Christmas decorations we see around are signs that Christmas is fast approaching. When I was Young, Christmas for me is giving gifts, going to places, eating and vacation. But as I am getting older, The true meaning of Christmas is getting clear to me. Christmas day is the day of loving, sharing, and forgiveness.


The true essence of Christmas is how we feel the season, not how extravagant the celebration is. During this season, it is important that family members stay together. Gathered in one table and eat the noche buena, exchange gifts and presents, hear the mass and share stories all over again.


Christmas is just once a year, but we can make it everyday if we like. We don't need delicious foods everyday, we don't need to wear expensive clothes everyday but we could share and give our love to everyone. Lets love each other. Lets forgive and ask for forgiveness. Most of all, Lets offer ourselves to God and let him guide us.

NOVEMBER-iiiiFIC!

November is a special month for me. It is not just an ordinary month. It is indeed a busy month for everyone. November is the month for our dead love ones, our hero Andres Bonifacio, our former President Elpidio Quirino, the Filipino Values Month Celebration and lastly, this wouldn't be so special without my birthday. I was born on this month.
The Filipino Values Month Celebration that was conducted by the Values Education Club had its theme: Pagpapatibay sa Pagkataong Pilipino tungo sa Hamon ng Buhay. Our country has been struck by strong typhoons. Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng was a tragic. They left us with bad experiences such as flood, no current, no food, no drink, no shelter but most of all they stole lives. When thinking about this, we're sorry. We feel pity to the victims. Inspite of what had happened, Filipinos were still strong. They didn't lose hope and start a new life. Filipinos are known for this traits.
There were many things that had happened this month.
I celebrated my birthday with my family and close relatives. There was no big celebration and party but I had a bonding time with my sister and Mama when we went shopping.
A week after my birthday was my first recollection. It was my first time to attend a recollection. I enjoyed it where I was able to meet new friends, shre and interact. Also I ecame closer to God.
This November, I went to Baguio to take the SLU Cee. after that, I was able to explore the City Of Pines again.

See? NOVEMBER is special to me and that's why is NOVEMBER-iiiiific!

What's on my mind.

Time flies so fast. Second Grading was over and another grading is approaching. As I look back what had happened, there were many things that comes to mu mind like the NLTSGO, Youth rally, the week of tragedy and INTRAMURAL meet. Also I cant forget the things I've learned.



Yes. Second grading, we were talking about HTML. I've heard this one before. I'm quite familiar with this one because I've seen lot of HTML tags in my Friendster account. I have to learn more regarding this .



We had our activities, discussions about this. Our activity were time consuming. Each character should be encoded correctly. In every activity, different kinds of tags were used. I enjoyed doing these activities.



But we didn't end here. Instead we didn't get far. We were behind. There were many interruptions, many activities and most of the time we didn't have classes.



It's hard for us, IV MAXWELL. The others had gone farther then us.


Here I am again, making promises that seemed to be broken. Ill be studying hard. Do my works on time. And I'm HOPING.

HERO...SUPERHUMAN

She's a woman of the class, our second mother, a friend, a mentor, a hero...... a teacher.

A woman of the class
- Without her, there would be no doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, architects today. She's a teacher. she taught me my ABC, taught me to count, read and write. She talks morning till afternoon, feeding us with lessons.


She's our second mother-They say, the school is our second home. This is where we spent the day, from 8-5. And the teacher is our second mother. She takes care of us. She worries for us. She see to it that we are comfortable, she see to it that we have a clean surroundings.

She's also a friend
-Just like a friend, our teacher could also our bestfriend. She could keep a secret, give some advice and share experiences with us. Our teachers could be there for us, in times of happiness, laughter, sadness, excitements and achievements.


She's a mentor-
She's my source of inspiration. She always tells us to study hard, never give up. She prepares us for the future. She's my coach. She trains us for a battle of our life.

Lastly, She's a HERO. She's a SUPERHUMAN. She does all of these, she divides her time. She do a lot of sacrifices, she saves us. she fights for us. Saying thank you and I love you would not be enough to our teachers. It would take A million words for the hardships, sacrifices they have done to us. But in return, a smile in their face says it all. Someday, their hardships and sacrifices they all gave to us would bear a good future.

"what i had learned."

It seems like yesterday when I dream to be in High school and now that dream comes true. I am on the last year of my high school life and that days were about to end in just months. That’s why I blame why time flies so fast. Now, I was to face a beginning, and a new chapter of my life.

We are to meet new subjects including new and old lessons. As the technology arises, we are to deal ICT IV with the subject of Internet. My learnings were added with new ones because the subject was not new to me. We were required to have our blogs and to explore more on the world of internet. The lessons introduced to us were History of Internet, and its uses, transmission control protocol, internet protocol and blog.

In every lesson, we meet some challenges. Some were easy and some were hard. The no. one problem we faced in our lesson was the schedule. Our scheduled class on ICT IV was full of interruptions where our teacher cannot meet us in most of the time. It’s so hard for us to adjust really with the lessons. There are times when we were left behind.

Another problem was the connection of Internet at our computer room. It took minutes to load a page and with that kind of connection, we took us the activity unfinished in just an hour, left undone and well have to do it the next day.

With all of the problems we meet, it makes us strive more on our studies. We surpass these problems and make us stand still.

Moving on…ill make the rest of the HS days, more efficient. To strive more, study harder and make my HS life meaningful for the rest of my life.

"Speak to Me, Pls."

Speaking is a way of communicating with one another. We can express our thoughts, feelings and other expressions clearly and understandable when we talk or speak. Speaking is also a macro skill we must enhance. We speak with different languages. Most of the countries and nations have their own language. We may not know and understand these languages but we have one language which is common to all. The English language is our universal language. It is almost known by everyone. It is globally use in different events, books, and even in the internet.

Just as the other countries and nations, the Philippines have its own language. It is the Filipino language. It is unique and one of a kind. It was from our ancestors and was still used up to our generation. It was used by Filipinos nationwide.

These two languages are important to us. We communicate and understand each other with these languages. But, these languages should be use with kindness. When communicating, being kind is a sign of respect. It shows courtesy to the one whom you are talking. In Filipinos, words such as “po” and “opo” were use for respect to elder people. Filipinos even kiss their hands and bless. Verbally, we can show respect to the elders by addressing them. As time goes, this practice and tradition of the Filipinos is slowly diminishing.

It gets us alarmed. In this generation, the practice of speaking English and Filipino of the youth is unkind. We must move now and be a model. We must speak English and Filipino with kindness. We Must and We can.
