My Dream, My Future

Dream a Happy Success

 Everyone had their own dreams.    Dream is something that all of us need to have. It is our vision. Dream is what you want to do for your future. Every person had their own journey in life also. I believe that having a great dream, is a must to us. And I have a big dream. Next month, I will be graduating as a high school student and I will face my next chapter in life, as a college student. I have already planned that my course is Bachelor of Science in Accountancy because my dream in my future is to become a certified public accountant. It is because I am happy with it. And I’m sure that I will become successful someday with the help of God and my parents who support me in studying.

It is said that fire righting is a very difficult job to get into because there are many applicants and it takes a very long time to know if you get the job. I know I have a long way to go before I can become an accountant, but that is my dream and I know if I work hard enough my dream will come true.

 Like I said before, it is very important to have a big dream. It is not wrong. Even if you cannot achieve if, just make it as your vision. Dream can help you to prepare to face this challenging world. What am I going through now is just the start. I just find the keys. I am still trying to open the door. When I finally did, I will not hesitate.

Change: It starts with me

The Power of Change

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy. You want to make a difference in this world, right?

I’m no different from the rest of you in this respect – in fact; I’m probably more likely to claim this statement. Ever since I realized the mass potential of our lives, I’ve sub-consciously carried a mission to change the world and leave it a better place than when I found it.

However, recently I’ve had a re-think.

This desire to change the world all sounds very heroic and noble and grand. But is it possible? Is it really possible to change the world, to make huge differences so that people hail us and shower us with praise?

Yes and no. I think it is possible to make a difference in the world, perhaps to a small handful of the world’s population. But on the other hand, I don’t think it’s possible to change the world. There’s a difference between changing the world, and making a difference in the world, which is important to recognize because I believe you can do one but you can’t do the other.

Kannawidan: Ylokos Festival

Proud to be An Ilocano

KANNAWIDAN is an Ilocano term which means “a feast of all heritages, practices and products” in Ilocos Sur. The province of Ilocos Sur is celebrating its Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. This year marks the province’s 197th year based on the Royal Decree dated February 2, 1818 separating Ilocos Sur from Ilocos Norte.

The province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. Highlights include the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds. Officials from the trade and agri fair displayed all products from the different towns of the Ilocos Sur and its nearby provinces. The annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held to give citations the local farmers’ extraordinary farm and fishery products and livestock. This Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province’ rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. 

Reflection

#3^rdGradingPeriodEnds

As the year 2015 starts, the 3^rd Grading Period of our class is nearly ending. A lot of learnings again about computer technology have filled my brains. Even though, it was hard for me to manage my time in doings all requirements to be passed, I have still maintain to study my subject in ICT-IV.

My knowledge in doing a HTML Document has already increased. I can also memorize some of the tags that are used in a HTML Document.

Still, I am enjoying my class in ICT and I will miss it when I am graduating in High School.

New Year New Me

Happy New Year Everyone! Say Good Bye to the year 2014 and let’s Welcome 2015!

Is it possible that a person would be able to change if the New Year starts? I don’t think so. Is it possible to make our new year’s resolutions become true? How could it be? I think it is only true at the start. After how many or months, people would be able to forget it.

For me, changing my wrong attitudes is very important. But, I cannot promise that it would be an easy thing for me to change all of this. One of my teachers told us that we can post a clean blank sheet of paper in our room. Then, every wrong doings that we will make, just write a dot or mark into it so that you will remember how bad or good are you in one day. I think this is one of the ways that I can do to decrease my wrong doings until I will be able to see a clean blank page.

Now, the year 2015 has now started so let’s start a new life and forget the past.

The Real Essence of Christmas

Celebrate the Goodness of God Not the Season Itself

The most awaited part of the year of some people is the month of December because the season of Christmas comes. There are a lot of decorations and preparations they do with their houses such as building a Christmas tree with gifts under it, hanging a star lantern outside their houses, shopping gifts for their children, and many more just to celebrate Christmas. But, they do know what is the real essence of Christmas, or they just follow the traditions in Christmas season?  What did Christmas means to them?

As is with any festival, Christmas has many traditions and customs, which are being carried forward by families the world over. These traditions and customs may be as varied as the diversity in cultures. Some though are common to everyone celebrating Christmas in any part of the world. But for me, the most special thing to do in Christmas is to remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and giving thanks to Him what did He do to save us from our sins. Also, George Millward McDougall said that 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. This comment says it all. Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period, which is the love of God for humanity.

As we celebrate His birth, let us be human and kind enough to remember and show some love to those motherless babies, helpless orphans, hospital patients, prisoners, beggars and all those who are not fortunate enough to be actively involved in the celebration.
