REFLECTION:

YES!!! THIS IS NOW THE FINAL GRADING OF OUR SENIORS LIFE. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SINCEREST GRATITUDE TO MRS. EVELYN VERA CRUZ IN TEACHING US HOW TO USE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. AND ALSO TO MS. DAISY. SHE IS THE ONE WHO TEACHED US A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PHOTOSHOP. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT IS HARD. BUT WHEN MS. DAISY EXPLAINED FURTHER, I COME TO UNDERSTAND IT. AND I KNOW NOW HOW TO EDIT PICTURES USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. THANK VERY MUCH FOR TEACHING US ANOTHER LESSON MA’AM. J

Everyone of us has an expectation of advancement or progressive development in our lives. Thinking about our future is not that bad because we only believe that there will be a time for us to turn from penniless to affluent life.

Our life is too short. So, you should use your time and knowledge wisely. Just like me. I had explored so many things that’s why I successfully graduated in college and I got my one and only loving profession. I am now an architect. But, I cannot pursue my dream without the help of my loving parents who guided me in all the things that I made. And also to our dear God who lightened my way in following it.  That’s why I can now work and live by my own feet without the help of my parents.

       Whoa! All I wrote in the second paragraph is only my prediction about my future. That’s why I am doing all my best to achieve that dream of mine. I always pray to God that he will guide and light me  to tackle the right path to my dream. 

            Change is always starts with us. We all know that everyone wants changes in their lives. Just like me. I want to change my bad attitudes. Because I know that almost everyday, I've done bad things  in our society. That's why I am doing all my best just to meet that changes I want. I promise to myself that I will change my bad atittude eventhough I know that it is impossible to do. 
            I believe that Small changes in ourselves will result in big changes in the world. Because everything we do, we can contribute a lot in our economy eventhough it is only small thing. 

The province of Ilocos Sur has recently celebrated its Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. This year marks the province’s 193rd year based on the Royal Decree dated February 2, 1818 separating Ilocos Sur from Ilocos Norte. Prior to this date, the stretch of Bangui in Ilocos Norte down to Luna La Union is called Ylocos which is a term to refer to the coastal inhabitants. It literally meant “from the lowlands”.

Kannawidan festival is the most beautiful festivel in Ilocos Sur. You can see a lot of products in each cities or municipalities in this province.

The first time I get there at the Quirino Satdium, I was amazed what I’ve been there. Because I didn’t expect that there are a lot of products I didn’t saw yet here in our province Ilocos Sur. The products here in Iloco Sur are very different from another province. It is the best among all the province in the Philippines. I also known the meaning of Kannawidan from my lola while we are walking together. She told me that the meaning of Kannawidan is “Kaugalian of the Native Ilocanos”. And that’s another knowledge I’ve known that night.

I am very proud that I was born in this beautiful province because there are so many things to be proud of.

NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

                New year is the most enjoyable and memorable  part of the year. And now, the day had come !!!

 I remembered before the new year starts, I had a lot of goals to be done this year. The most important one is to become a better person. Because in 2013, I made a lot of mistakes specially with the people who surrounds me. This year, I want to correct all my mistakes I had done in the previous. I want to gain more friends this year. So, I have to change  my bad attitude to be a better individual. And another one  is to lose weight. In the present, I have a big body.  So, I’d promised to myself that I will pursue or achieve it to make myself a better one.

Before the new year, we should have a peaceful mind. We shouldn’t have hatred with each other. That’s why I asked all the people I’d made a mistake before. And they forgiven me with their humble heart. I’d forgiven also all the people who hurt me last time.

My new year is one of my inspiration to change my old life.  I want to start a new beginning. I will promise to myself not to continue the old me. J

    During our third periodical test, I thought that our test is hard like out test before. But I was wrong. Our test was so very easy that's why I've got a lot in the test. :))

Christmas (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ^[6][7] and a widely observed cultural holiday, celebrated generally on December 25^[3][4][5] by millions of people around the world.^[2][8] A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days ofChristmastide, which ends after the twelfth night.^[9] Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,^[10][11][12] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,^[1][13][14] and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

While the birth year of Jesus is estimated among modern historians to have been between 7 and 2 BC, the exact month and day of his birth are unknown.^[15][16] His birth is mentioned in two of the four canonical gospels. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25,^[17] a date later adopted in the East,^[18][19]although some churches celebrate on the December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which corresponds to January in the modern-day Gregorian calendar. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after early Christians believed Jesus to have been conceived,^[20] or with one or more ancient polytheisticfestivals that occurred near southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice); a further solar connection has been suggested because of a biblical verse^[a] identifying Jesus as the "Sun of righteousness".^{[20][21][22][23][24]}

The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pagan, pre-Christian, Christian, andsecular themes and origins.^[25] Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, Christmas music and caroling, an exchange of Christmas cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, andChristkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore.^[26] Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.
