Life Goes On

We all know that the year 2020 is different from any other year. It has made its own infamous definition. It has lock us down to our home, a comfort place that along the way somehow suffocated us for staying for too long.  

Life goes on, live normal, learn to move forward and dare to continue living even the world not in the normal state as before.

There are so many possibilities in this unknown tomorrow, there is still hope arising every morning, that lights our way to look forward and be brave to breathe in and breath out.

Learn to move forward, move forward to learn. Pandemic doesn't stop everyone to move forward, to learn more. Our situation right now don't stop  the students to learn and to study. They are still chasing their dreams and able to pursue their studies and learning everyday and day.

Dare to continue living, people don't stop, businessman, workers, continue to make a living. Online sellers and creative business plans bloom in this pandemic. Everyday as you continue to live, there is a continuous growth for you and everyone, continuous progress to your businesses and plans, continuous living to strive each day to make a living outside.

Pandemic give as fear, but more than the feeling of being scared, it give us more courage to make a little step day by day to continue life, to make things goes on and on.

It thought to us also the importance of a healthy body, healthy living, and healthy relationship.

More than the importance of our work, business, busy career, there is much more important and that is our health-our body. Healthy living help us also to focused on the things to make us healthier and be strong always. importantly and lastly the connection and having a healthy relationship inside our home, this pandemic help us to build a stronger relationship with our parents, relatives and also love ones.

Life goes on, go on and do the things what your doing from the start even the pandemic is here, do it inside your home, invite your family and love ones to join, and be creative in the small corner of your room.

Live normal even around us is not normal, face mask, face shield, and 1 meter away from people and love them closer and closer. For even the pandemic don't stop us to build a connection to everyone, especially in times of the typhoon happened in our country, the pandemic is not the hindrance for us to help and share and offering our hand to help to them, it makes us build more a strong relationship to other and be closer to their heart.

The pandemic has affected our lives most in a negative way but if we train our focus on the positive side of every situation, we can somehow see a small light in the darkest times. That small light can change everything. To use this year and this situation we are in to realize things, to be grateful of the things we took for granted before and reanalyze our dreams and priorities in life. 2020 may not be the year we wanted it to be. It may not be the year that we achieve what we wanted to achieve, but it can be the year where we taught  ourselves to be contented of what we have now and to be grateful of the life that we're still living today. 

Its Parting Time

This is now the end of our junior high school years. It’s hard to say that one month is the remaining days and it’s sad cause we will be apart after this time. The memories will always be remembered and treasured. The happiness I’ve experienced with my classmates will always be in my heart. All the teamworks we’ve shared together so that no one will be left behind, I’ll miss that thing. All the laughters we’ve shared. To my friends, thank you for being always there when I need someone to rant to. To all the teachers who have imparted their knowledge to us, thank you because you’ve done your parts as our teachers and thank you for teaching us good morals. You are our light in achieving our dreams.
                                                            .

My Dream, My Future

All of us have dreams in life. Some wants to become a policeman/policewoman, businessman/businesswoman, an engineer, an architect, a teacher, a lawyer, a nurse, a politician, a doctor, a fireman and others. We are doing great just to achieve our dreams someday. Every time we do things, we think first of what will be the effect on our life and to our dreams in the future.

To become a successful doctor. This is my dream profession in my life and for my future. I want to become a doctor if God permits in order for me to help the sick people, to give a cheaper medicine yet trusted, to give a high quality medicine. I want to become a doctor because I want to discover the cure of many illnesses which is commonly the cause of human death. So by now, I am studying hard to achieve that dream. And I’m also dreaming of having a successful and peaceful life in the future. Our future depends on what we are doing at present times. So before doing anything, think twice, then decide. And always pray to God and ask for His guidance and protection.

Be future-oriented and goal-oriented. Believe in yourself so that you can be who you really are and you can prove yourself.

Kannawidan Festival

Ilocos Sur is a famous and beautiful province in the northern part of Luzon. Thus is a province that is rich in culture that showcases the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. The locals of this province created a festival to present, show, and share this treasure to the whole world and to highlight the cultures and traditions of Ilocanos. This celebration is called the Kannawidan festival.

This Kannawidan festival is celebrated during the last week of January up to the last week of February. This celebration is also a commemoration of the province’s foundation day. On the first day, the people usually prepare for a mass held at St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral, then a procession of the patron saints around Vigan City will follow. This is also a way of giving thanks to the Almighty. There are also different activities and contests that will focus on moulding the skills and abilities of the children or students, some are street dancing, showdown, choir, marching band competition, traditional and folk dances. On this event, you will also see an OTOP (One Town, One Product) which means that every town will have their own product to be portrayed.

“We come up with this activity to promote the different festivals of each town in our province. Our goal is to lift the Kannawidan Ylocos and become one of the major and most recognized festivals in the country. We hope that in the coming years, all municipalities will participate”, Gov. Ryan Luis Singson said.

Together we stand as one. Let’s make Kannawidan a famous and recognized festival of all time. Sure, Ilocos Sur!

Change begins with Me

When I was a child, I dreamed of being a politician someday. Why? Because my Lolo were once a politician back then and that he inspires me with what he is doing. He’s a great leader and that I think inspires me a lot.

As I can remember, I want to become a Brgy. Capt. When I was still young. Because as I saw my Lolo solved the problems in our barangay, I felt that I want to be like him someday. I want to improve and change the world to become perfect and nice. But as I grow older, I realized that I don’t have to be a politician or anybody else to change the world though I can make a change in my own ways. Like throwing the garbage in the proper place, knowing how to segregate the biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, simply not burning plastics or anything, these simple self-practices can make a big change. And I’m proud to say that I know how to do thses things and I know how to obey the policies and rules of the government. Change can start with me. I may not be a student leader in my school but I can be a leader on myself and be a role model to others in order for them to be educated and aware of what is happening around.

Change starts with ourselves. We can be a leader in our own ways.

New Me

To eat nutritious foods, to earn more money, to be more industrious, to be more studious, to be thrifty, to eat a minimum or exact amount of food in order to be fit or sexy. These are just some of the people’s resolution when the year changes.

As the year changes, we also want ourselves to have some changes. Like other people, as the year 2020 arrives in my life, I have also a lot of resolutions and I want a change in my life. Changing means improving. As a daughter I want to become more industrious at home, I want to become the best daughter to my parents and the best ate to my two younger brothers, I want to make my parents be proud of me. I want myself to change for the better. On the other side, as a student, I want myself to become more studious, industrious at school, to be more active in class, and I promised myself that I will study hard in order for me to achieve my dreams, ambitions, and goals in life, to have a successful life someday. “New Year, New Me”, this means that as the year changes. I, myself will also change. This year, I will love myself more than anything else, my self is now my priority. Last year, I learned so many things like; do not let others hurt you or your feelings thus, be strong enough, don’t believe in promises because promises are meant to be broken, do not give your whole trust to anyone except yourself, do not focus and waste your time on the things that is only temporary around you, and now, I promised to myself that I’ll be stronger, happier, and better this year. No more pain, hate, or sadness.

Change is good when it’s for the better. We must be matured enough and knowledgeable on the things around us.

REFLECTION

This quarter has the most difficult lesson yet enjoying. This quarter also passed so fast. I have learned how to create a web design. It is so hard to do it, it takes a lot of patience and you need to become industrious. I am not an expert when it comes to this kind of activity. I have gone to many trials because the work was deleted but I continued to do it. It came to a point that I am so angry and mad and did not have the courage to continue, I worked for it. Work hard if you want success.

END VAW NOW

Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) is defined as an act or series of acts committed by any person against a woman who is his wife or former wife. VAWC is also called as Republic Act 9262.

            The concept of violence is not just about the physical violence, it also includes the sexual violence, psychological violence, and economic abuse such as threats, assault, or harassment. Women in society must be treated well. They must be respected and be loved. Women also needs care just what they are doing as a mother. They do not deserve abuse. Women are the one who takes care of us when we are a child, your mother. Amidst all the sacrifices they did just to make you lived, they have done many thing to give you a better life. We can hear on the radio, we can see at the television that women nowadays are becoming a victim of different abuse. Whether here in the Philippines or in abroad. Republic Act 9262 was implemented to protect women from abuses. But base from the observations, there are still women who are abused but it decreased.

            Women are not animals. Treat them well just like how they treat you, love them just like how they love you, respect them for you to be respected.

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

When the month of December arrives, we all think of Christmas. Christmas is being celebrated every 25 of December. This is the month when Jesus Christ was born. Christmas is about not only giving gifts and about receiving gifts; this is also the season of caring, helping, loving, forgiving, and sharing. Christmas is being celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.

This is a special season, a season of joy, peace, and great tidings; these are the true essence of Christmas. Christmas is not just about time for festivity or merry making, it is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The spirit of Christmas is spirit of giving and forgiving. This season encourages us to share love with others, to embrace peace and be our brother’s keeper. We shall always be willing to give a helping hand to those who are in need and less fortunate, give comfort to the vulnerable ones. Christmas is also the time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus and we must reflect on them. For other people, Christmas is a time of sorrow because they do not have an extra money to buy presents for their kids, family, and friends. However, it is still okay if you do not have any gifts to give as long as you love and care for that person. This is a season of great joy.

So, let us be human and kind enough to remember and to show some love to those who are helpless, motherless babies, hospital patients, prisoners, beggars, and to those who are less fortunate. Let us spread the true essence of Christmas.

Healthy Environment

A healthy environment is the key to a healthy life. Our environment is one of the blessings and gifts of our savior, Jesus Christ. We cannot live without our environment because it is where we live in. 

            Taking good care of nature is very important and can have a good impacts and results in our lives. Living in a healthy, clean, and green environment is necessary in order for us to be healthy and free from diseases. We should know how to take good care of our environment. Doing simple things like planting trees, cleaning our surroundings, not burning plastics, recycling, can be helpful in maintaining the environment healthy. Obeying the simple rules to make our environment better can also help. Doing illegal activities like mining, dynamite fishing, illegal logging and burning is not beneficial to our nature and to us humans also. We are all aware of the fire that lately happened in Amazon and it destroyed the wildfire where mostly all of the animals live. The Earth is now dying compared to the past years. There is a big change on its physical appearance the past years up to the present; this is because of the inappropriate doings of humans.

            We, us one, should protect and save our nature because it is where we get our resources in our everyday lives in order for us to survive and as I said this is where we live in. Take good care of nature so that it will provide us everything that we need.

A Month for Children

All of us had experienced being a child. When we are still young, all we want is to play around, play with other kids, with neighbors. All we want is to sleep, eat, and play. All of us have childhood memories that we will never forget. Children has the right to enjoy their childhood.

            Children’s month celebrated during the month of November.  The theme for this year’s celebration is "Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagaha at Gampanan tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan".
 

Children must be taken good care because they are the happiness and a symbolism of true love of partners. Children must be loved and not to be abused. We can all see the children that are on the streets, scattering, this is because their parents do not know how to handle and manage their kids and their family. We should give the kids their rights and freedom to be a kid and experience happiness while they are still kids. They should not be the one who is doing work for their parents and families. Childhood is just a once in a lifetime experience. We should give them freedom to do whatever they want as long as it is good and cannot harm others.

            Children are to be taken good care, not to be treated like an animal. Give them freedom and happiness because this is all they want.

Filipino Values Month

"Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin: Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa" is the theme for this 2019 Values month. As the word value indicate, this month is dedicated to improve the morals and values of everyone especially on students that’s why this values month is also celebrated in schools.

        Values of a person makes him as a person and describes what kind of person you are, if you have good attitude, then you’re a good person and you have good intentions in life, while when you have bad attitudes and you don’t know what’s right over wrong, then you’re a bad person. Being kind to other people is also a good practice. Having respect to the person who is older than you are and to your parents is a good value, helping the less fortunate people in just a small and simple ways is also a good practice. We should always remember the saying ‘’No man is an island”. This means that we cannot live alone or by our own. We need others in order to live because we cannot provide or even produce everything that we need, we need others, and because of this, we should know how to care, love, and accept them by showing good attitude and good morals to them. We should do good thing upon them and show good values to them.

            Values month celebrated in schools also and there are many activities intended for this celebration, like spoken poetry, essay-writing contest, and many more. Students and kids should be educated in doing good and showing appropriate attitude and value so that they will become a successful and better person in the future.

Second Step of My Journey

“LEARNING IS NOT ATTAINED BY CHANCE, IT MUST BE SOUGHT FOR WITH ARDOR AND ATTENDED TO WITH DILIGENCE.” ―ABIGAIL ADAMS...

For this second quarter, another learning have come and imparted to me. Yes, learning isn't easy but its worth it. For this quarter, I can say that I enjoyed blogging as well as in creating HTMLs. Blogging was fun because you can express well your thoughts. In creating HTMLs on the other side, I am a little bit more nervous in doing those activities because it was my very first time in doing such thing, but I still enjoyed and learned something new. Moving on to the next grading, I hope that my skills and knowledge will become wider as I go on with the help of our teacher.

Our Greatest Heroes

If teachers are not existing, can you imagine the world? Do you think doctors, engineers, policemen/women, architects, businessmen/women, politicians and other professionals would exist if teachers are not here?

            My Teacher, My Hero. It is truly that our teachers are our heroes. They sacrifice their time in teaching us every day, they don’t even have enough time for their family and a time to rest, they spend most of their hours in school just to teach us and just to finish their works. Because of them, we were able to know about the things around us, we were able to know how to read, write, and solve simple problems. With them, our knowledge is becoming wider. Teachers are our second parents, cause just like our parents, all they want for us is to be a good and a better person. Teachers also help our parents in molding us. They are a part of our journey in achieving our dreams and ambitions in life. They teach us the things that we need in the future, things that would help us in becoming a successful person. They impart knowledge for our betterment. Teachers want to see us, their students, successful, this is only the thing that would make them happy because they have done successfully their part as our instructors. 

            Let’s respect, love, and treat our teachers as our second parents. They deserve to be loved and respected because they are our lights in becoming who we really are, they provide guidance to us. They are one of the reasons behind anybody’s success. KUDOS OUR DEAR TEACHERS!
