Reflection:)

                                                              Third Grading Is Over...



                 One grading period left before we leave our dear school. 3rd grading is done. Time flies so fast. Reminiscing the past is all we can do now and try to get lesson and learn from it.

                This grading, we said goodbye to homepage and welcome FrontPage. We said goodbye to our practice teacher in ICT, Miss Melanie Queyquep and meet the new one, Miss Raiza Impelido and Miss Donna Quillopo. This grading I learned a lot about the software MS FrontPage and FrontPage itself. I learned how to create FrontPage. I also discovered the different parts of MS FrontPage and the uses of it. I can conclude that Frontpage is much better than homepage.

                The fact is I didn’t go up to this moment without hesitation or encountering problems. Well, as usual, I encountered the common problem of some students. We had lack of time not only in our subject ICT but also other subject because of so many activities that affects our classes. We meet only four times a week in ICT but as I said a while back we excuse in our class because of some activities. The result is we didn’t discuss the FrontPage well.  At first, we are very hard up to catch up with our lessons and to make our project FrontPage. Good thing is I learned little by little because I kept on discovering the different way to make my frontpage better and presentable.

                Moving on, I’ll be better for this last grading. I’ll do my best to face all the challenges and problems that may come on my way.
 

New Year, New Me


                                                              CHANGE for the BETTER

                New Year starts another blank book for us to write on it and complete until the end of the year. A new year is another chance for us to get it right and make things better.  What does New Year mean to me? The year to CHANGE.
                Another chapter of my life is done meaning another year is done. Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013! Another chance to make things better. Another chance to change for the better. I didn’t promise anything neither makes that so called New Year’s Resolution. Why? Simply because I know myself so much. First, promises are meant to be broken. And I’m afraid that I’ll break those promises. Second, I expect that some of my New Year’s Resolution at the end of the year some of them or even almost was not yet done. Lastly, it’s not easy to change. It takes time to change even if we do our best it’s not enough. For this year, meet the new me. I’ll try and do my best to maintain those good attitudes of mine like being a good friend and to change those unwanted attitudes like being lazy specially when it comes to studies. I think last year, I forgot that I must do everything to improve my study habits. Unfortunately, I failed because during the last months of 2012, instead of reviewing, I’m reading something not related to my studies and always online in social network. This year I try to be more serious in my study especially now that few months only we will turn to college life. I’ll try to change for the better.

                Changing is not an easy task it needs time before we can totally change. Let us start the New Year with love and joy. New Year means another year to keep on changing and improving for the better. Have a prosperous New Year everyone!

Essence of Christmas


                                                      
                                                      The True Essence of Christmas
 

 “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,” a simple yet so meaningful quote from J. C Penney.

“It’s Christmas!” but what is the essence of this? Is it having bountiful and so delicious foods in our tables? Is it really the true essence of Christmas?

For us Filipinos, our Christmas starts from the months which end with –ber. We start decorating our houses with Christmas decor; making our Christmas trees; planning our Christmas Parties; listing and buying special gifts for our relatives, close friends or best friend and special someone; caroling. Many say that we, Filipinos are the one who has the longest celebration of Christmas which is true. 

Christmas; the time to enjoy with family and other relatives, the time to forgive and forget though it’s too hard, the time to give love, time and anything that money can’t buy to our love ones and the time to remember the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, the time to remember the birth of the Only Son, our Savior Baby Jesus. Christmas is the season of peace, love,  joy and good tidings. This celebration reminds us that we should share, rejoice, love one another, forgive and forget. This is the true essence of Christmas for me.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Let us remember the True Essence of Christmas.

“Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.”
