Reflection

The end is near

4^th Grading is coming to an end.

        I was too busy to notice everything. I was too busy to treasure the moment and now I regret it. Why is time so cruel?

        I have learned a lot in the forth grading period. I’ve realized that I learn faster with practical usage of things. Photoshop will influence me in the future since computer education is an asset that can help me in college and maybe in my work as a future doctor. Modern advancements are born so fast and I am grateful to have ICT as one of my subject.

        I was fascinated with Computer as a child and ICT IV helped me enhanced my knowledge in using computers. I’ve learn for to do coding and making a website. I’ve learn Photoshop which is my favorite among the lessons tackled.

        Moving on, I will not stop here. I will still study about computers in my own way with the use of the Internet. ICT IV had contributed a lot in my development and let me take this opportunity to thank my teacher who made everything easier for us. Thank You Ma’am! J

My Dream, My Future

The Not-so-Impossible Dream

          Ever since I could remember, I was fascinated with the human anatomy. I could say it intrigued me in every way. You can say it’s disgusting but for me it’s interesting. Since then, I wanted to become a doctor.

          Along the way, my mind started messing up. I wanted to become this and that. I wanted to become a lawyer. I wanted to become a business woman. I wanted to become a photographer. I wanted to become a teacher. I want to become like my father, an engineer. There were so many things I want become but there was so little time. Time was never in my favor and I hate it. Now that I’m sixteen, I needed to choose.

          I had to do a lot of thinking for this post since I want to become honest in every way. After the thinking which messed my head up, I decided that in the future I’ll be a doctor specifically a skin doctor or commonly called a dermatologist.

          I choose to be a dermatologist because I have this great interest with skin and I would love to study it and help people with skin diseases. I dream of it as my future. I wish it will be my dream and future. 

Change: It starts with me.

Change: Make It Happen!

            Change is the only permanent thing in the world. It can happen in the least possible way it can. Sometimes you notice sometimes you don’t. The thing is we change for a reason but whatever it may be we need to change for a better and not for the worse.

            Honestly, change is a very hard thing to do especially when you don’t want to. One thing more, Acceptance is also needed for change to happen. As we can see, our country, the Philippines is undergoing change. It is now beginning to adapt to the culture of foreign countries. The Maria Clara aura of the Filipinas is already fading only few are like this these days. Some changes are necessary for development but we must also reminisce the past and look back on the things that make us today.

            Change is tricky when it is not controlled. But when we all change for the better then, we are one step closer to achieving our most awaited dream, to attain success and there is no other way in changing than beginning within ourselves. If we think it through, it isn’t really hard right? But when all of what we conceive is put on to work it needs a little force to make it happen. As they say it “If there is a will, there is a way.” Nothing is impossible we you believe. Change is a simple way in achieving a brighter day. Change start with me and you, us. Let’s make it happen! 

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival

Agbiag Ilokano!

     Kannadiwan Ylocos Festival. A festivity where Ilocanoes showcase their talent and rich culture in different competition facilitated by the Provincial Capitol headed by Governor Ryan Luis Singson.

     The Department of Education also played a large role in Kannawidan because they gave chance to the elementary pupils and high school students that’s why they signified the start of various competitions such us  traditional tribal rituals, choir and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama, traditional and folk dances and contemporary dance competition.

     I have come to live with this very festive event especially when it started in 2008. Kannawidan is a tradition now to us because it seems like everyone was very busy in the preparation of it. In Ilocos Sur National High School, participants of this event are scattered everywhere to practice in different fields of contests.

     Aside from the competitions, Kannawidan is also the festival which serves as the chain where the municipalities come together as one celebrating the culture of Ilocanoes. Every year, there is a set up place where every town showcases their own product. Kannawidan aims to increases the demand of these products so with increasing tourist rate.

     Of course, it’s much bigger and more grandiose than Vigan Fiesta since its scope is the whole Ilocos Sur Province. Kannawidan is simply where Ilocanoes commemorate the rich culture that we have. This festival really take out the Ilocano in me and with that I’m proud to say that I’m a Bigueno, I’m a Ilocano.

3 down, 1 more to go

3^rd Grading? Seriously.

        What.Just.Happened? I can’t even remember attending my classes. The 3^rd Grading period had gone so fast I didn’t even noticed it pass.

        I can’t deny the fact that it was a very busy grading for me because of the different activities that I attended specially the press conferences. Thinking about my school work, I’m like at the point of breaking right now because I missed almost  all the lessons in all the subject. It’s frustrating really. I don’t know where to start. Ugh! But of course I need to get back in track the next grading and I need to put the my best game face on.

        Moving on, I wish that the last grading would just come and go fast. I’m so excited for college. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Change for the Better

            Dear 2015, Please be good to me.

            I never liked new year resolutions. I never do them anyways so one day, I just gave up. All I could now is wish for the best and keep telling myself to step it up even more.

            This year will be very memorable since we are going to graduate from High School. Wohoo! I just couldn’t believe that it’s new year another, adventure awaits me, College. It’s hard to accept it but days pass very fast and I’m getting old. One day its new year and then the other day is my birthday. This year I need to track time and use it properly and never to take it for granted anymore. I hope 2015 will be a great year.

            I’m crossing my fingers for 2015 :D

CHRISTMAS TIME!

        “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way”

I woke up and suddenly IT’S CHRISTMAS! I never really noticed the time.

Christmas has always been sacred to us as a family. Never did we have a very grand Christmas Celebration. It was always prayers, gift giving and my favorite our so called family gathering where we sit in front of our Christmas Tree listening to Christmas carols and sharing stories and laughter.

During Christmas Eve we only have few dishes; simple ones then, greeted everyone a Jolly Christmas. When morning came, we went to church and thanked God for all the blessing he had showered upon me and my family. Christmas was always a time for praise and thanksgiving. 

Climate Change

Change for Climate Change

            Is it me? Or it’s just getting really hot? The weather nowadays is changing rapidly and we can’t seem adjust to its new state.

          The weather today is like a girl changing clothes. It never stops to change. It’s unpredictable some days it’s sunny then, the next it’s raining. Climate Change is really a burden to all of us but there is more to it than meets the eye. It is the main reason for rising of temperature, melting of ice caps in both south and north poles and also the acid rain. It degrades Mother Nature slowly and we, the human race are the only ones to blame for this catastrophic phenomenon.

Human activities have contributed substantially to climate change by adding CO2 and other heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere but we can still do something about it. If we could only change our ways and plant trees then we could restore the beauty Mother Earth once had.  There is time to save our future from destruction and pollution so get away from your computer and start the action through a cleaner and healthier world. Let’s Change for Climate Change!

English Month Celebration

English: The Chain of Nations

 “Outpouring Hearts and Minds through English Proficiency” – Theme of this year’s English Month Celebration.

English has always been the chain that linked countries together. Without English there won’t be any expression of thoughts and feelings. Communicating had never been easier with the use of ENGLISH.

Our school celebrated the English Month in December and there were various contests such as Quiz Bee, Spelling Bee, Speech Choir, Readers Theatre, Jazz Chants and of course the Parade of Characters where the students get to dress up copying their favorite mythological character.

The English Month Celebration is a great opportunity where the students can show and express their talents and skills in English namely speaking and writing. This celebration helped improved English Proficiency and Literacy and the English Department did a great job in launching this wonderful event.

Equal Rights, Equal Oppotunities

Equality: Be Fair to Everyone

          

          Equality has always been a dream to the human race. A impossible dream that can never be attain since everyone has it's own differences but that doesn't stop there. Equality can be observed in simple ways and as a student equality is very important specially when in comes to school work.

           As a child, I was raised with my two brothers equally. My parents treated us equally, what the other has the other two must have it also. Equality is a must in our house and it should also be in our school. We cannot deny the fact that their is favoritism in the four corners of the classroom and most of it is linked with the economical status of the student. This FAVORITISM must come to an halt. FAIR TREATMENT is always a MUST.

           Total equality is impossible to attain but when it comes to treatment, equality is never close to impossible. Equality can be easily done if it is in the mind set of that person. 

           In school, the most frequent scenario when equality is abused when choosing a contestant in a certain contest. Sometimes, they just handpick a contestant even though their is a possibility that someone can do it better. It's unfair! the right to do is to have an elimination contest and by that giving the students equal opportunities. 

           It is just right to treat people equally to avoid envy or jealousy. Being equal lessesn the hatred omitted. It's a simple act that can change the world so BE EQUAL. BE FAIR to everyone.
