TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

Yuletide season has ended. But the memories of it will always be in our hearts. All this time that we are celebrating Christmas, are we aware of its true essence?
Every year on 25th of December, we are celebrating Christmas Day. The birth of Jesus Christ, our savior. During this period, many of us are decorating our houses with colorful decors. Some puts tall or small Christmas trees and different Christmas lights to lighten everyone's spirit. Some also prepare foods for "noche buena". But is this all about the true essence of Christmas?
Sharing, giving, loving and forgiving is the true essence of Christmas. Material things are not important. So, remember that everyday is Christmas.. :)

Magandang Pagsasamahan Tungo Sa Maayos at Maunlad Na Lipunan

There is one time where we have to choose what road are we going to pass through. The straight road or the rocky one. Do you want to take the risk just for success?
We all want to have a peaceful and progressive country. Nowadays, we experience tragedies in life. Crimes all over the country. Death is near to all of us. P.Noy once said that we should take the straight road for improvement. But can we do this without cooperation? For me, NO, we can't! If we want to make a change, we must start it within ourselves.
Ask this to yourself, are you a good citizen? Do you often cooperate to the activities in your barangay? If yes, then it's good. If no, then you must wake up! Open your eyes to reality that you must start motivating yourself and start a UNITY. Through this, peace and success will be near to our hands. We must choose the right way. The future depends on us.
We must have a good relationship to our fellowmen to achieve our wishes. To have a peaceful and progressive place. So we must be wise to choose the right way and for sure, it'll lead us to success!

A WEEK OF HAPPINESS..

Dark streets. Creepy sounds. Zombies arrived! Awoooh! Run! Run as fast as you can. Watch out for they might be in front of you!
This scene is just the most exciting and most unforgettable part of my semestral break. You might be wondering, why?
Semestral break is when students have no classes and it is the time to relax. A short vacation. After the brain-storming periodical test, we deserve it! First day of it, I just slept the whole day for my body and mind to rest. But in the second day, my classmates texted me and said that we will be joining the 'Raniag (Twilight Festival)'. I was shocked! Nervous! The contest will be held in four days time. Can we make it? Even though my heart and mind was contradicting, I joined the contest. It was really a sacrifice. Instead of enjoying the sembreak, we were in the school practicing. But I never felt any disappointment. Everything that happened in our practice was worth remembering. I really enjoyed it! Inspite of the pressure, we were all happy. We made our best for the contest.
I also visited our loves ones who passed way in the cemetery. We stayed there for 5 hours. It was the time for us to show our love and respect to them even if they're not here.
My happiness cannot be measured. I was very happy for having a great friends whom I've shared this week of happiness. Sembreak was over, back to normal! Chok-chak!

A NEW BEGINNING..

Time flies so fast. Second periodical test is fast approaching. Two months after my first reflection, here I am again writing about the things that happened during the second grading period.
For me, two months is too short. But in this span of time, I've learned many lessons already. We learned more about exer. We also tackle about HTML formatting, stand-alone tags, pre-formatted text, etc. I have also encountered problems about font attributes. But of course, Ma'am Vera Cruz is to the rescue! She explained it to us on how to use it perfectly. She's always ready and the best!
There is still lots of time left for us. I know that Ma'am will teach us more. Moving on, I will be more active and participative in our class.

Breaking Barriers Through English...

There are many places in the world. Big and small islands. Different languages use for each place. Different faces, peoples. There is a big wall between this places. But, can we break it?
Many of us are aware that English is our universal language. It is use for communication inside and outside the country. Businessman use English to sell their products. Because of English, they can communicate well. Our President Aquino settle our problems outside the country through English. For example, the hostage taking in the Quirino Grandstand, the leader of the Chinese Republic used English to talk to us so that we can understand him. We can also use English to express our feelings. English could make us one!
English can break barriers around the world. It can make us unite to be one. It can be our savior. English is indeed a powerful language.

Filipinnovation, The Way Forward!

Close your eyes. Imagine the scene of the People Power here in our country. Isn't it great to know that we Filipinos are very aware about our country. We don't ant to be dominated. We want change!
But look around you now. Where is this cooperation that we showed before? Did we forget about it? Some of us, Filipinos, have no care about what's happening around us. Crab mentality. A trait which many of us are showing. They try to pull someone who is on top of them. Because of insecurity, many are hurt. Some are killing. Our world is changing. For the better? Being into a modernized world is such a change. The changes that makes us change also. We prefer to use the modernized things. We have also forgot about the traits that we inherit from our ancestors. But we should not! We must change for the better.
Change must start within ourselves. We, Filipinos, must innovate. Remember that there is no shortcut to success.
