Change: It Starts With Me

Change is the only constant thing in the world. Sometimes, it's unexpected and unpredictable, there are a lot of things we'd want to change, our community, our nation, and the world we live in. But change should begin with the smallest yet the hardest to start with, one's self.
The visions of a better world may seem difficult but by taking things step by step would ease up journey in fulfilling these dreams. And the first step starts with me. Just like a tv add/ campaign says," Ako ang simula ng pagbabago." So leave the past and start it now.

Kannawidan Festival

I asked my mom, what Kannaidan means, she said Kannawidan is the 'trait' of Ilocos, it was held in Vigan beside the Capitol.
When I entered it, bunch of plants and flowers mesmerized my eyes. Different types of plant, different colors of flowers. Their orchid plant were so beautiful and when I walked again, big fishes were swimming inside the big aquarium! I wondered how they will sell these fishes. I'm afraid that if someone buys it, the hand of the seller will be bitten by it. But wait, do fishes bite? On the other side again, different wooden furniture were displayed. But it was expensive especially the wooden mirror.. I can clearly see myself! Walk, walk, walk .. Different bags, bracelets, necklace, headbands and hats. It will not be complete if there's no delicacies like miki, empanada, bibingka, put and many more that will force you to buy.
It will be my last to see this kind of festival..

My Dream

Every child has the right to dream and reach the goal they want. As they grow, their mental ability also develops. They started to think many things, many ideas come into their mind..
Before, I planned to be a News Caster cause I write poems and articles when I was in elementary. And also I want to interview the artists because I really want to see them face to face and have shake hands with them. But when I entered high school, I started to hide inside my shell. I become shy.. But really I was a shy person, I don't want to mingle with other people I really don't know. So how can I be like that? But my decision was now final, I want to go out, travel the world, fly to the sky! It was really my dream since I was a kid, I told to mu father that I will get him to travel the world while my sister will get our mother. And will be four to fly to the sky. But I guess that plan is vague to happen. But still there's nothing impossible when you believe and pursue.
Like the TVXQ's banner says,' Always keep the Faith.' Faith is always I have, Hope makes me to wish many times and Love paints my heart to smile everyday.

January 25

My body was in full condition to walk like a soldier 'cause it was the day of the grand parade. I planned to go to to carnival but I didn't know whom I will be with.

I was early to get up in my bed even though I had lack of sleep. But I'm more fine than the last parade we had. It ended safe and sound, after that I went to Michelle's home to change my clothes and also to rest for a while. After resting for some time in their house, we had our lunch in Mcdonald's then went to the carnival! Which I really wanted to go! For the longest time, I was able to go there again. We roam around and around looking for a star but it was hard to find. So we decided to buy a ring for the both of us.

My feet really hurts when I got home, it was a day of nonstop walking even though it was a tiring day but it remind one of good memories 'cause that will be my last.

Second to the Last Reflection

Wow! The end is near. Third grading is over, only one grading period left to finish before Graduation Day! I don't know why if I'm excited or what, I just feel that another chapter will begin again with my fellow classmates and friends. But this will be more different, a big big difference . I will enter again a new school, new environment, new students a new saga of my life. I can still remember my first step in high school, mix emotions! I will feel that awkward thing again when I enter college. I will miss the things I ever did and felt here, I will remember all! It's just like in a blink of an eye, everything will change and end. I still have remaining 2 months, I will cherish every moments and treasure all the memories.

A New Journey

Time pass so swiftly. It was really true! Sometimes we oftenly say that, "I wish today is Friday.", "I wish tomorrow will be our vacation.", and what we always wish is to stop our misery in studying. We may always say these words but in the middle of this, we wish that we can stop the time, even for a while.

Days are just like bubbles. They were so cute flying in the air, but they can't reach the sky, they have their limits and they were fast to pop. In reality, days are like them. We have only 24 hours to do what we need to finish and cherish the time we have. Because in just a glimpse of an eye, it will end.

It may not always be your lucky day; But there's tomorrow to cheer you up again.

The Essence of Christmas

Every year, we celebrate Christmas, get excited and anticipate for it. But for what reason? Christmas parties, exchange gifts, and present from grandparents or Santa? These are just a few things that people would think of during Christmas.

Christmas, originating from "Christ's Mass", is the celebration of Christ's birth. The greatest gift that man has received. We tend to forget the reason for this season, for focusing too much on what are we receiving. The true essence of Christmas is knowing what God has given to us, His love and sharing it to everyone. Just like how a Christmas song says, "Give love on Christmas day." It's not the material things that we receive; But it's the thought that counts. We may not have the "boyfriend-girlfriend" thing but the most important is to be with your family and spend Christmas with them.

It will always be the greatest gift I'll ever receive.
