i wanna blog :D

i do not actually know what entered my mind. i just realized i wanna blog. not to brag or anything else, i just want to develop my writing skills. i want to write and write and write again. but not reports, position paper, etc. i hate to write anything formal. :DD

it was better last year!

yes, it was really better last year --- the arrangement of the chairs, the music (?), the pageant, the whole event, MY PREPARATION! but there are still exceptions --- the stage decoration and the food, and maybe, even my first dance! at least for now, i know the person and expected it...

i can't help regretting... i wasted much time with my preparation... i have planned to design my own gown, and only did it a week before the promenade...

we asked a tailor from narvacan, ilocos sur to turn my design into reality... and his "talent fee" was so expensive...

thanks to mama cora and mama heidee for paying for it!!!

and i really like my gown! ssssssssuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr!

i wore the same 4-inch high heels, and i was more comfortable with it compared to last year...

i was not really prepared with my bag and other accessories... ='(

anyway, i also regret joining the pageant again. i only put

myself on shame.. hihihi!

and i wasted much time practicing on how to walk elegantly.. ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

but, it was another nice experience! something i can't forget...

and one thing i love about the JSP 2008 is that i had the chance to talk to someone who hated me for several weeks... thanks to him, for being humble..i hope you know who you are =)

i was happy during the JS PROM because of my GOWN!

FINALE :'(

i am someone who believes in those lucky numbers, colors, rituals, and others...




2008 - two thousand EIGHT - YEAR OF THE EARTH RAT!




i welcomed this new year happy, in a positive mood and a feeling of being lucky.. (^.^)



i am so happy for i won second place or first runner-up in the Philippine Heart Association Essay Writing Contest and i received a glass trophy and Php 5000 cash..


LEARNED the value of SHARING!



and most importantly, what made my january 2008 LUCKIER is that i passed the University of the Philippines College Admission Test -- one of the happiest events that ever happened in my high school life!!!



anyway, we already had our third periodical test, and we'll be having our LAST periodical test on february 25-26...


but for me and angeli, plus the IRAA players, we'll be having our examination on february 13-14..




i'm happy with the Windows Movie i made!!! and fortunately, i didn't have any problem during its construction!!! (~.~)


i may not have that much problem academically, but i have some emotional and SOCIAL problems!



i just hope it will be solved in God's time!



anyway, i think this is my last post :'(

we'll be graduating soon...

and i would just like to thank Ma'am Eve for all the things i've learned!
and i'm thirsty for more knowledge!


CIAO!

GOD BLESS US ALL!

this is me, i can't ignore it!

two months in one post.. :)



i have discoveries and learnings that changed my life, made me more mature and adventerous and more importantly, made me über positive...


most of the time, we don't really notice how fast time flies... who'd think that after three months or less, i'll already leave the pillars of my most loved Alma Mater!


our third grading period is divided into our academics and extra-curricular activities..

we had our INTRAMURALS wherein i discovered a lil thing about myself! i am starting to enjoy watching sports events which i usually don't... i've also learned two new sports -- i mean, their rules --- lawn tennis and volleyball! and i appreciate them!


academically, in our TLE subject, we were asked to make our own web pages... unfortunately, we have not started it yet, for the computer (WS 6) isn't working...

and as of now, we're making our windows media file through Windows Movie Maker..

every pair is assigned to make three media files: ilocos sur tourism; national anthem; and a doxology..

plus, there is an individual output with the music and images of your choice!

we are enjoying everything that we are doing!

whenever i encounter problems with my works, i always find the solution to it and i consult some of my classmates!

=)

ciao second grading

We’re about to end the second grading period...

Graduation is fast approaching and college life is coming nearer. ((((6 months to go))))

On my previous post, I was very grateful to my father for understanding me regarding my rank. But something happened on his 48th birthday that somewhat made me change my impression to him, again. I was beaten because of my carelessness. I almost lost our digital camera because I have accidentally put it in tessa’s bag.

I really want to change that disposition. My dad was again questioning my sense of responsibility. Anyway, I hope before graduating, I will be able to prove to them that I can stand on my own and that i can really handle myself if ever I’ll study in Manila.

Anyway, I’m really enjoying our hands-on activities in Computer Education. But when it comes to written activities, I’m a little bit hard up in doing it.

MAYBE BECAUSE I HAVE NO PATIENCE... HIHIHIHi

I’m really thankful for having those kinds of lessons because I can really apply it. I am also able to teach my sister about the HTML tags.

So far, when I make the activities, I do not usually commit mistakes. It’s because I do not want to repeat the whole activity and I do not want my classmates to be delayed in doing their activity.

i hope to encounter more problems so that i can gain more knowledge!!!hihihihi

i must end this grading period exerting all the efforts i can put forth..

good luck for the exams, everyone...

God bless us all...

AU REVOIR!!!

i want to be enhanced

It is foolish to fear what you cannot
avoid.
Stultum est timere quod vitare non
potes.
-Publius Syrus

Several weeks ago, I told myself that I have to accept all the consequences I'd encounter after the first grading period. But when those consequences entered in my life, I was so unprepared, I did not know what to do. It came to a point that I asked some of my trusted teacher-advisers for their help.


I ranked 11.5 among 80 students and I expected that my parents would be disappointed. I was afraid of my father. I told him my rank through a letter. Maybe he was touched that's why he didn't scold me. (Stare at the picture, I look like him, right?)

I was foolish because I was scared at him. I underestimated his character as a father. But the letter made us closer and he's now more loving..=)



As I go on with my life as a senior and for the second grading period, I know I MUST do my best to achieve my goals and for me to reach greater heights.



Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson


*******************************************



Anyway, I went to Baguio City on September 1-6 for the National Leadership Training... I have learned a lot from the lectures and from the experience alone. It was an awesome and unforgettable experience.


Academically, our lessons in Computer Education are getting harder but more interesting... Carefulness and meticulousness are musts when you are typing the activity. A single mistake in a tag can ruin or damage the whole document or file... So far, after the three activities, I did it well and I had no problems with it.


Maybe after those lessons, the students under Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz would be able to do their own or personalized layouts even when they are sleeping...


All we need is patience and alertness. It's better to be slow but sure than to be fast but you are uncertain with what you did...


Exert your talents, and distinguish yourself, and don't think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire.
-Samuel Johnson



Never lose hope.. As long as there's still the sun, the ocean, the air and the land, there's still hope...


I love you, papang kulot...



MERRY CHRISTMAS...

EXPERIENCES are the best TEACHERS.

i have heard this quote several times these past few weeks.

i really have learned A LOT academically and in real-life situations or the so-called reality these past few weeks..

academically speaking:

last july 19 & 20, we had our food fest and i learned about business fundamentals. it was fun training ourselves on how to budget our money, making the products, selling it, and counting our gain..
the only stumper we had was on the budgeting part considering that all of the group members are amateur in business..
but then, since we are all inventive, we planned to just bring the materials needed found at our habitats instead of buying them..
for the ingredients, what we did was to lessen the amount of the sweeteners (we don't want the consumers to have diabetes)..

reality:

truthfully speaking, i've learned a lot from other people, from my experiences these past few weeks.
i must admit, i really have problems with some people around me and i'm trying my best to decipher those..
i also have known that i committed mistakes that have injured the emotions of several creatures..it has caused them disliking me..

but then, "INNOVATING-slash-CHANGING-slash-ADJUSTING-slah-TRANSFORMING JUST FOR THEM" is not on my vocabulary..

so now, i have plans of avoiding or abstaining from them..
but then, since there will be a time that our worlds have to meet again, what i must do is to be just careful with my words, my actions, my reactions..

is that a form of changing?
yes it is, but then, it is primarily for my development as a human being and not for them..

see, experiences taught me a lot.. i do not owe anyone else, i owe myself..
