Reflection

This last grading period wasn’t that hard as I have thought. We just learned about Photoshop and I didn’t get problems with it because I have tried using this program before. I tried the different tools and I think it’s uncomplicated. It’s quite fun actually.

But still, challenges and I really won’t get apart. I am in fact thankful with these challenges because they are like my companion in my life. They are just barriers that will crash me and will make me stronger with my journey. Just continue living your life to the fullest. J

MY DREAM, MY FUTURE

          Let us not make this with any further ado. I just want to tell the exact dream I want for my future this instant.

          I have tried making essays about dreams before and honestly typing, their content were all lies. But not exactly all of them. I just wrote anything I want there just to make my essay longer. But all I really want for my future is to be successful. Successful in many ways. I want to have a profession with high standards, a family with love and last but not least, a man of my life.

I want these to be factual when the right time comes. But I guess it just needs hope and faith for they will help me dodge any task that will come up.

Change, it starts with me

          There are many possible ways to make changes in life. But it’s not that straightforward. You cannot just transform if you want to or if they want you to change. It said “It starts with me.” Like, if someone wants you to change, it must first starts with them. They should act as a model that will give confidence to you to adjust. There are no more further clarification needed. If you understood the quote, then you can set off.

KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this fvestival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos. This festival is very significant to every resident in the province as they are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as a province by virtue of the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818.

Ilocos Sur especially Vigan is branded as the Heart of Ilocandia by the Philippine Historical Committee. It’s a province very rich in culture and heritage. Kannawidan means traditions and this province got to showcase all what she has. There was the tribal performance of the cultural communities of Ilocos Sur which is so fascinating. They displayed their talents as well as their indigenous costumes. Partuat ken Patanor Trade Fair showcased the products of the province such as longanisa, bagnet, garlic, bibingka, tinubong and many other foods including handicrafts. There was even eating contests of these delicacies of Ilocos Sur as well as basi drinking contest. Traditional games were played and bingo as well. There were Sarsuela and Komedya Ilocana which were shown. Choir competition was also held. Showcasing the beauty of the Iloconas- the Saniata. This festival is not just fun but also pleasurable.

New Year, New Me

2014. Two thousand fourteen in words. Another numbers that will make people change. Another year comes that we think it’s for the best for self-improvement. Even though I have failed my new year’s resolutions for the previous years, I will try my greatest to fulfill my new ones. First, I will do house chores from now on. (I won’t do one either. XD) Second, I will do my home works earlier because I have been influenced by my classmates not doing assignments at home. Third, I will surrender using Facebook. Fourth, I will be a better student. And last, I will starve myself, not to death. (I know it’s hard) But I will really try my best.

And so, as I was keeping in mind the moments when I have failed my previous resolutions before, I can’t stop myself from laughing because I find them funny. And although I have failed every resolution, I decided to try again for a better living.

Reflection

For this third grading period, we studied about different and new lessons again. We learned about making movies using Windows Live Movie Maker. I honestly did not get hard in studying it because I have used this program many times before in editing my own videos. I also use this program when I’m bored because it’s quite fun making use of it.

But there is only one problem for me, I seemed to not understand all the features of this program since our teacher was substituted by a practice teacher. We think she is not yet ready for teaching because when she is having a lecture in front, we feel her nervousness. But I know someday, she will be prepared with this challenge.

I was able to address this problem again by understanding her. Time by time, she’s getting better with her teaching. And I for the uncountable time, again asked help and guidance from God for he will help me in my studies.

Essence Of Christmas

“"Mankind is a great, an immens family. This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.”"

Christmas if most truly christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most and forgiveness for those who made sins to us. Every 25th day of December we are celebrating the birth of Christ or we call it Christmas Day. All people are excited on this day.

Before christmas approaches, people carol with their friends or family and also they attend the Misa De Gallo. We are having Noche Buena every night of December 24 and there is a lot of food and drinks that are prepared for the Christmas. Some people watch concerts and fireworks outside. Some people also go to their Tito’s and Tita’s houses to ask for they Christmas gift or Aguinaldo. We celebrate Christmas together with our family or loved ones. Most of the family had their reunion together with their relatives. In this occasion, they meet new people and will have some bonding together with them.

I have been blessed to discover that Christmas isn't about the presents we buy or the fancy meals some eat. It isn't about standing in line ups at stores or handing over a gift we feel obliged to give. It's about love and loving in the best ways we can. Christmas is not only by giving love and forgiveness to the people but is also to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ our God.
