Last Grading Period. Finally, we can say, DONE, FINISHED, END.

This last grading period, I have learned all about photoshop. Actually, we’ve studied this way back second year high school but I can’t seem to perfect or master it. I am honestly weak at photoshop. And that’s bad.

But, with the help of ICT IV, I have regained knowledge. Watching videos and tutorials in photoshop made it easier for me to remember.

It was fun- my journey throughout the year. I would like to thank Ma’am Evelyn Ver Cruz for showering me more knowledge, I will put this in mind and in my heart forver because I know, I may need it in the future sometime. Guys, enjoy learning more!

My Future

                From time to time, I visualize how my future would be after 20-30 years; how I will look like and how I would have lived life then. Honestly, I don’t know how my future would be. While typing this, I am listening to Taylor Swift’s song: “Never Grow Up”. The song has the lyrics “I won’t let nobody hurt you. I won’t let no one break your heart. Just try to never grow up.” Then it hit me! Growing up could never be stopped. Growing up is an adventure waiting to be explored. Life you hurt you and break your heart but through these, you learn and grow up. Now, I have plans for my future.

                One starry night, I am sitting infront of my desk. The light from the moon and the lamp shade beside me are the only source of light. Drops of sweat are falling from my face as I add the finishing touches in the design I am drawing. Suddenly, two manly hands hugged me from my back. It seems like my husband have arrived. After he kissed me on the cheeks, my adorable children came barging into our room. Yes, I am Reiko Dianne, an architect, a wife and a mother.

                In the future, I will have everything I ever wanted: a job, which is my passion; a husband I love; and children that I adore. I will be happy with them. Truly, God has plans for all of us- good plans.

The Magic of Kannawidan Festival

February marks another significant event of Vigan City- the Kannawidan Festival.

The Kannawidan Festival is one of the most exciting, fun, and colorful festival here in Vigan City. It is a time where families gather to celebrate and have fun.

     

The Kannawidan Festival opened with a bang with Senator Cynthia Villar. We, the CAT and COLT trainees went to watch the said event. After, we went around to check the stores, taste the food and ride rides.

I seriously had fun. Especially when I’m with the people I love- my friends and family. You can really appreciate the event when you know that the person beside you that time is having fun.

The place was filled with laughter, smiles, screams, and pure happiness. Kannawidan Festival is a festival you wouldn’t want to miss.

Change it: Starts with ME

Change: to improve; to be better or worse; to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

            Change has tons of meanings. It is a six-lettered word but makes a thousand sentences.

            Nowadays, the Philippines are experiencing minor setbacks which put Philippines under some countries. The Philippines are experiencing crisis. The people kept on blaming the government for this. But may I ask you, what did you do to achieve the word-CHANGE?

            Before changing the world, change yourself. Change everything you know makes you step back. Change the things in you which you think is not making you enhance and develop as an individual.

            Change, it starts with me. It starts with the simple things we do. We, as students, can make a difference by simply studying and speaking the truth. By spreading ou opinions and suggestions to make the country better, to make it a better place to live in.

A Fresh Start

        Another year has again ended. Say goodbye to 2013 as we all welcome 2014 with a smile and excitement in our hearts.

        2013 had been a blast for every student! Especially for me. 2013 had been the most memorable year for me, aside from the fact that it was just, you know, last year. A lot of first times and new exciting stuff happened. I have encountered new friends whom I spent some of the best memories with. I have also encountered troubles and problems last year, but instead, it made me stronger as an individual.

        This 2014, I won’t change anything about me. For me, CHANGE HAPPENS NATURALLY. Experiences, trials and decisions change us- may be for better or for worse; and or physically or mentally. I don’t believe in “New Year Resolutions” either. As you can observe, it is not followed by most, maybe all, of the people. If you want to change, it doesn’t mean you’ll do it exactly on New Year. Well, you can, but not necessarily.

        New Year brings new hope, new chances, new opportunities and new experiences for everyone. 

Almost Finish

                                      ALAS! Third Grading is finally over. Before anything else, let me recall the achievements and failures I encountered on the said grading period.

                                      Actually, I missed a lot of lessons and quizzes during the third grading period due to the seminars and contests I've gone to. Since it was conducted from different schools and provinces. But, it didn't stop me from doing my best. Instead, I cope up with my classmates by asking them and borrowing notes about the lessons. It was kinda hard, but definitely worth it. It is my responsibility anyway. I need to maintain my good grades for college.

                                      This upcoming fourth grading period, I want to strive harder and have higher grades to prove myself and others that I can do better. I can be better. So, better watch out. ;) ;)

December Breeze

                Excitement invading the atmosphere. Smiles are flashing as the people from across the world unite to celebrate the most anticipated and significant holiday of the year-Christmas.

                Houses are filled with lights and colourful and attractive decorations. Children go house to house to sing merrily. People are exchanging gifts and greetings while the students are just chilling out. Yes, Christmas has arrived.

                Christmas is the season of love. It is when our Savior was born. People think that it is just about the gifts we receive but it is when you give and share that you really feel the true essence of Christmas.

                God gave His only begotten Son on Christmas day to give up His life to save us from our sins.

                See? To give is the most precious value of all. On Christmas day, it is Jesus we should put our focus on. We should pray and thank Them. For They gave us the most wonderful gifts of all-forgiveness, hope, love, and freedom.

The Climate Has Changed

Climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in the average weather conditions or a change in the distribution of weather events with respect to an average, for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. ©

I have gathered paragraphs from articles from different sites to enhance your knowledge about climate change. This would be different from my other posts.

How will climate change affect you? Your community? The environment around you?

Global climate change will affect people and the environment in many ways. Some of these impacts, like stronger hurricanes and severe heat waves, could be life threatening. Others, like spreading weeds, will be less serious. And some effects, like longer growing seasons for crops, might even be good! However, as the Earth keeps getting warmer, the negative effects are expected to outweigh the positive ones.

The more we learn about how climate change will affect people and the environment, the more we can see why people need to take action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. We can also take steps to prepare for the changes we know are coming.

A changing climate impacts our health and well being. The major public health organizations of the world have said that climate change is a critical public health problem. Climate change makes many existing diseases and conditions worse, but it may also help introduce new pests and pathogens into new regions or communities. As the planet warms, oceans expand and the sea level rises, floods and droughts become more frequent and intense, and heat waves and hurricanes become more severe. The most vulnerable people—children, the elderly, the poor, and those with underlying health conditions—are at increased risk for health effects from climate change. Climate change also stresses our health care infrastructure and delivery systems.

See? How climate change affects us? STOP POLLUTION. LESSEN CLIMATE CHANGE.
