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.

Magandang Pagsasamahan Tungo sa Maayos at Maunlad na Lipunan

They say that the more the merrier, but the Philippines population makes our nation become worst. The main reason why were in crisis is because us people don't know how to love and share.
I read an article relating to the progress of Korea. The article was inspiring, it makes you think and realize. I wish that Philippines was also like them. I believe that we can be like other prospered countries, full of love, sharing and unending gratitude to God.Were just the one who can't leave this poverty line because we don't have the helping hands, we can be like other countries if we'll help each other."Nasa Diyos ang awa, Nasa tao ang gawa."

Assorted Candies

What a good grief...After under pressure , finally whole week of vacation.
I spend the days with my family and some relatives. Friday, Oct.29, me and my sister had our christening to be a Born Again Christian, the setting was in the pool . Our pastor preached first before we'll be renewed, she explained why we are doing that sacrament and after that she put her hand above our head then pushed us down inside the water. After that we had our solitary prayer in the corner of the pool. I'm so happy, swam swam again and again even if I don't know but I learned a little. And we own the whole swimming pool only the two of us but time flies so fast and I don't want to get out of the water but time to say goodbye because my uncle and my cousin will arrive soon. Then we went home and exactly they arrived 3pm sharp. The following day, the party of my sister started. The visitors came, they congratulate my sister who passed the board exam and she's a CPA now , I'm so proud of her and were in bliss, my mother even shed tears. It ended safe and sound. That night, we had our chit-chat with uncle and cousin. They came from Tarlac, my cousin brought his guitar and showed his talent to us. He was really good, I also want to learn so I come nearer to him and requested him to teach the chords of 'Magbalik' , he played first and showed it to me but the power chords were hard for me. My strumming was a mess so I gave back the guitar to him. Early morning of Nov.1 they return home. I spend the whole week of watching horror movies, but arghh.. all the movies suck! Nothing marked on my mind but aside from that I enjoyed 'Down with love', it makes me laugh and it's not my typical love story neither. But I lily like it!

'Break Time'

Second grading is finally over..
Suddenly, I want to return from yesterdays, to change..? Not literally, but to feel and stare the memories I'd experienced. When I got bliss, tears and confused..
For this upcoming third grading, what will happen?... >.<
Better enjoy our semestral break..Yahoo!
Happy Halloween in advance!

Filipinnovation, the Way Forward

We’re in the new generation of the new president. The only formula to be a progressive country is within us, the human nation. If all just strive hard and have perseverance, the Philippines maybe also one of the rich countries. Also the higher officials who are sitting there, if they’ll just be true and honest with their works, the Philippines may not experience poverty and hunger, our country will not be in misery. So I hope this brand new era, our president should not be influence by bad auras around him. I put my trust on him. I can see he has the ability to continue the legacy of his parents. The Filipinos should cooperate and have one heartbeat to lead our nation way up forward.

Breaking Barriers Through English

Most of the time when we Tweet or post something in our social networking sites, we learned to use English language so that it will be more catchy or it is more pleasant to ear. And we also used English so that some people can understand what are we saying. Especially when we post comments or ask something. Using English can really open doors to other nationalities, we can communicate, understand and learn from it.
So break out!

The Meaning of a Hero

Our very own first mentor is our mother.And our first leanings came from our home, our first school. It started with our family.
These learning from our home is enough for us to use, so we entered the second degree, 'the school'. We began to socialized and understood diverse circumstances in life.m Our knowledge were broaden and we started different sentiments. We started to appreciate, hate, escape and ignore. I know. you also experienced and did those things. Teachers have big impact in student's life cause they are the ones teaching us. Giving their time, voice and helping hand when we needed to.And other teachers climb mountains just to give new learnings/lessons to their beloved students. I really those diligent teachers. I can say that they're heroes. They deserve compensation for their good works.
No mater what you are, as long as you do the right move that can lift up others' life.
You're a HERO for me!

My Weakness. . . . . .

Every tick of the clock is precious to me, you can't stop, go back and change it immediately if you did something that you don't want . We already knew this valuing!
In our life, we encountered so many things that make us stay firm and keep on moving. My greatest weakness is about numbers! I really hate solutions,equations,solving etc.It was so nerve-wrecking for me! My eyes are turning if I'll solve. How will I address this challenge?What should I do? I need tutor! Help ME!!
Okay, I'll do my best,ZZANG! I just need presence of mind and then I'll be good at it..
FIGHTING!!!!!

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

Jose Rizal once said,"Ang di magmahal sa sariling wika ay masahol pa sa hayop at malansang isda."He compares Filipinos through animals. It just shows that were connected to everything in this world especially to nature. God gave this paradise for us to love,improve and protect. And not to abuse its' usefulness just for our needs especially when it comes to money. You'll be cruel and selfish!
To our language, it's right to love our own. It's just normal. But it doesn't mean that to extend that you'll never try other taste. Me, honestly I love more the other music. And also I love more Koreanovelas and JDoramas. Because of their good flow story plot and not "paligoy-ligoy" (trait of Filipino teleserye) as what they're showing to us. And most of the time we like Season 2 because it was "nakakabitin." DIBA? We can't deny the success of Korean culture here. Because they certainly infiltrated the Philippines. Pinoy kids and especially the Youth love watching Korean artists sing and dance. Even though there's poverty of understanding and pronouncing the lyrics but still became fast favorites locally because of their catchy melodies and funky beats.
I just want to show that this should serve as an inspiration to Filipino artists and producers and to us, Filipinos in general. The spotlight will soon be on us. Our turn is fast approaching because of our Filipino prides paving the way to fame!

Eating is heavenly, but not all delicious food are good for the body and health. In fact, they are the ones which are prone to sickness. So for us, we should have a balance diet. Eat nutritious food, plenty of water and have also a proper hygiene. Especially for children because their stamina is not yet strong enough. They should eat Go,Grow,Glow foods. For parents, they should guide and check the food they eat. When they are still young,avoid the junk foods and too much sweets. In their merienda, is good if you'll give them cookies or anything that is nourishing and juice or water.
Especially mothers should be conscious to the food of their kids. To live a hale and hearty longer life.

Dear Mr.President

July 18,2010

Dear Mr.President

So now, you are the new president of the Philippines Aquino. You know, I've never like you. I'm sorry to say that. But even if I don't like you, I can't change what happened last election. What I can say is do your best to be a real leader of our country and be more responsible what will you implement for the betterment of the Philippines. I also hope that you're not one of the corrupt people like the previous years who will just sit and show "Pakitang Tao" only. Pakitang Tao is like you're only doing the job when there are eyes watching you and when there's no one your true colors will show. I also want to add that always dedicate your works to God, so it will be blessed. And don't ever forget Him because He's the one appointed you there in that position. And maybe he has a purpose so that he assigned you there. Always have a God fearing heart so you'll not be tempt to do unworthy things.
Okay Mr. President, start a brand new breeze so I'll start to like you. Haha

Student,
