My Dream, My Future

Success means many wonderful positive things. It means personal prosperity- new gadgets, vacations, a fine home, travel, financial security. Success means winning! Achievement is the goal of life!


Every human being wants success. Everybody wants the best this life may bestow. Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity.


I really want success in the future! I wanna wear white jacket, black and white slocks, white shoes, with matching white cap! Yes! I want to be a chef someday! I want to produce new and unique styles of food and delicacies. I wanna be known all over the world, someday!:)


'I believe, I can," the very quotation I live for. For if there is the I-can-do-it phrase, the how-to-do-it develops.

CHANGE:It Starts With Me

'Nothing is permanent in this world exceot change itself." It means that, everything doesn't last forever and everything has expiration.


Speaking of change, have you noticed that you are changing? Of course you do, right? We are changing for good, not for bad. Even a very small thing within us changes, everyday, every hour, and every minute we are on Earth. Everyone and everything changes. We change!


Live life to the fullest. Improve our naion with no hesitation, CHANGE is the only solution, we must start it in our own.

KANNAWIDAN:Ilocos Trade Fair

The Ilocos Sur Trade Fair is over. For more than a week of displaying each municipalities' trademarks, many have enjoyed visiting the so called KANNAWIDAN.


As you enter the fair, the first that would catch your attention is its arc made of indigeneous materials. Continuing to follow the flow of the path, you can see the Ilocos Pride-the trademarks of each municipalities. There are the furnitures of San Vicente, abel of Vigan, and many souvenirs from different places. Different varieties of plants are also seen in the wonderful gardens.


The Kannawidan has imparted us lot of good memories but one thing is for sure, through this kind of fair, many have known Ilocos Sur deeper.

Vigan City Fiesta

"Viva!Vigan!"The unending shout of the audience, I can't forget during the Vigan City Fiesta.

In respect to Saint Paul, the patron saint of the very own heritage city, Vigan, different activities were held. There were the streetdancing, showdown, but there was one event I really enjoyed.

One of the highlights during the recently concluded Vigan City Fiesta which was held last 25th of January was the grand parade. We, the CAT officers joined the said parade because our presence was very much needed. hye parade started at the side of the Vigan Municipal Hall and continued until we reached the atarting place of the parade again.

The parade was so tiring, bit still, we enjoyed it because we were in our fatigue uniform with the beret, neckerchief, and gloves.

refLection: aLL abOut third quartEr:)


The first-half of the second semester is almost over. Few days more to go before the third periodical test.


How did I really spend my third quarter?!
Our focus for the previous months was all about the Microsoft Front page. In fact, we made our own front pages. We made one for Vigan City- all the things revolving around the heritage city. It took us many days, hours, minutes, seconds and much effort to do that because it was never easy to make one like that.


While making our front page, the biggest problem I've ever encountered was that, the computer suddenly shuts down even though I am not clicking on the shut down button. If I encounter that way, I'll restart the computer and I'll do what I've done unsaved, all over again!


Surpassing that challenge, I will not forget to save every single thing that I will make so I will not do the same thing again!

I Swear !:))

Three...Two..One.! The countdown is over! 2010 had gone. It's 2011! Another year had come into our lives! A year to alter every single mistake we had the previous year.


For this 2011, I need to improve the old me to be a better personality. First and foremost, I need to change my filthy characteristics. Some says I'm "suplada", others say I'm cruel. Well, I can't avoid these characteristics of mine, it's my nature! There are also attitudes I possess they hate. Well, I really want to change those, but how?!


I admit, I've been doing bad things, and I've been hurting many feelings just because of my attitudes. But, I will try to alter those deeds of mine so I'll be better in the eyes of others. I swear!:)

Christmas Highlight

"Oh holy night,
the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night
of our dear Savior's birth."

These were just some of the lines sung and heard during caroling period. Christmas was never forgotten. Ever since, it is the happiest, the most wonderful and the most awaited event of the year.

Christmas season formally starts on the 16th day of December that's why, Misa de Gallo and caroling period also begin. My friends and I started caroling on the 17th and we went to our neighboring municipalities. On the 23rd of December, we had our Christmas program at home. We served several foods and that night was really wonderful. In fact, we had our exchanging of gifts that made the party a very funny one. A day before Christmas, everyone was busy preparing for the Noche Buena. When the clock struck 10:00 pm, we went to hear the Misa Aguinaldo. After the mass, we went to our friends' houses and joined them in their Noche Buena.

These are my ways of spending my Christmas break. I really enjoyed every single moment I had during the previous year,2010.

Bringing Working Relationships Up!

At the time that there is unity, there is monastic society. And, when there is monastic society, there is onward movement in the country.

Progress....this is what we arrive at if we develop unity and camaraderie among us. We must nurture working relationships. In a state of going on and achieving greater heights, we experience satisfaction by working with one another, cooperating, and alloting our share to those who are in need. Let's come to a focus, meaning, stay focused! Let's impart our full attention to every step we take and find out the improvement it contributes not only for ourselves but also for the people around us.

To go forward is such a great fulfilment. Let's not just collaborate, share, and unite with one another. Indeed, we should let the sleeping leadership spirit out within us to proceed to an organized and progressive country.

FREEDOM

A week 0f freedom from school? Well, it's the semester break!

My break for the first semester started the day after second periodical test and resumed the following days. My concern within that period of time was all about SK elections. Campaign, jamming with the SK's, joyride, foodtrip- these were the activities we've been doing in preparation for the election.

October 25 came. Disappointment struck us because not anyone in our party entered the SK slot. It was just okay because we do respect the results. What's important for us is not the victory but it's the bonding we had for that couple of days.

November 1, the All Saint's Day and the last day of my sembreak. I spent my time preparing such things that will serve as offerings for my Dad. We heard the mass in the cemetery and right after that, we had our bonding there. We created some noise and eventhough it was nighttime, we still took pictures in the cemetery.

These are my ways of spending my semester break. I found it too tiring but then, I really, really enjoyed a lot!

Breaking Barriers Though English

Is English for unity or for progress? Which is which? Well, it's for them both. English is for unity and progress.

Well, when it comes to conversation, many obstructions are present. Misunderstanding makes it first! For example, once we reach other country and we have no background in speaking English,and if we talk with someone else, we might not understand each other. We will not be abke to communicate well with the person whom we are talking with. But then, if we know how to speak in English, we will be able to understand each other and that misunderstanding will be out in this world.

English language has a very important role in this world. Come to think of this: it is the universal language so it has only the power to break the misunderstanding when talking with someone else. Fight against the barriers within conversation. Practice speaking English, spread it all over the whole vast world!

Filipinnovation:The Way Forward

We are living in a fast-changing world. So, a mere change is anticipated as we move forward.

Robotics, cyber world, and technology are improved because of the changes that took place in the world. If we are to consider all the technological advancements that occur in the society, we can see that these things have done a lot to us. It has changed our everyday lives. Not just a simple change but a great change that we are looking for. A change that can really improve and innovate our lives. Because of technology, simple gadgets turned to more complex ones. A simple desktop transformed to laptop and telephones changed to cellular phones.

These things are proofs that changes are not permanent. If we want to change something, let's start it by ourselves.

My Teacher, My Hero

"Our future depends on them-teachers!" It's just a simple thought but if we try to understand it deeper, we can view the real importance of the people who are behind the success of all people-the teachers.

Yes! Teachers are considered to be one of our heroes! Why? It is because they are the people who look after our education. They are the people who teach things that we need to know, from our elementary days, high school life to the college years. They are the reason why we are in this point of our lives. They expand our knowledge on different things. In fact, they are the cause of one's success.

In general, teachers made all the successful people. The ordinary became engineer, lawyer, doctor, nurse, pilot, architect, businessman/woman, accountant, policeman/woman, and these happened due to our very own teachers. It is also the reason why, teaching is said to be the noblest of all professions.

Going Beyond

Entering the cyberworld is such a great thing. It is common among individuals. Thus, using the Internet improves one's social aspect.

From the very first time I tried exploring the Internet, I have discovered a lot. I have known many things-from the simplest to the most complicated things in town. I have also explored lots of different websites. Through Internet, I have been a member of some social networks like the friendster and facebook.

Browsing the Internet is not that acceptable at all times. Sometimes, we encounter such problems. One is the connection failure. We need to wait for few minutes in order to enter some websites. The late loading of the website is due to the increasing number of surfers exploring the same site. But, these challenges can be addressed if we love to. It depends on how you do it, and it also depends on your technique.

Moving on, I will continue browsing the net and exploring different websites. Through this way, I will be able to discover such things.

Sa Pangangalaga ng Wika at Kalikasan, Wagas na Pagmamahal ay Talagang Kailangan

Love for nature and love for the national language. These two things are almost the same with each other. It's our responsibility especially us, Filipinos to love Mother Earth and the national language.

As we all know, the Philippines is undergoing a great change. It's not just like before anymore. Nature has been destroyed because of the illegal activities of man. If we try to have a flashback, we can view that nature before is very green, beautiful, and acceptable by man. On the other hand, the Filipino language is not anymore used by most of the Filipino people. There are some who use the language but not all.

Love..,that's the most powerful device, that's the only way on how to bring back the past about these two important things-nature and the Filipino language If we love to, we can be model to our fellowmen who will lead them to take good care of the nature so with the national language-the Filipino one.

Sa Pagkaing Tama at Sapat, Wastong Timbang ni Baby ang Katapat

''Health is wealth'', just a very simple thought but contains a very important message. Let's take good care of our health for it is our own treasure.

Let's learn to eat balanced diet for this balanced diet improves our health. It may be also our chance to gain weight. We should be aware of what we are eating. Let's not just stick on eating meat and eggs all the time, instead, we must eat the green ones-the vegetables. For as far as I know, vegetables can make us better and healthier.

If we have the required weight, we are not malnourished anymore. If we are eating well three times a day, no doubt, we deserve to be healthy and we deserve to be happy.
