3rd Stepping Stone

      When we are having the time of our lives, we don’t notice the change of time. It was June yesterday as I stepped in the life of being a senior student. I was excited and nervous at the same time. Time flies do fast.

First Quarter

Second Quarter

Third Quarter is about to step on the finishing line. 

What have we done for the third quarter?

         Well in terms of my favorite subject, ICT, we were more exposed or enhanced in HTML links, anchor tags, framesets and many more. And we also made our own webpage which I found challenging and fun. But I was satisfied with our project though. And I’m very thankful because I was able to catch-up with my lessons. Why? Because the whole 3^rd quarter was as busy you can imagine of. We didn’t much have some of our classes because of the Investigatory Project held at Alaminos, Pangasinan. Well, with what I see, I am hoping for higher grades. I hope. I wish. I tried. And I learned my wrongs and right. But I thank god and will always thank god in whatever I do in life, for my success and failures in life. I never felt like a failure just because something I tried has failed.  

Chapter 1: Day 1 of 365

“We will open the book. Its pages are still blank. We are going to put words and pictures on them ourselves. The book is called Journey and its 1^st chapter starts this New Year’s Day."

      Every end is a new beginning. Can your hear the countdown? The sound of the different explosives? Or the ticking of the clock as it reaches 12midnight? Everyone is excited for the New Year’s Eve. And that is where the magic starts.

     I have always been excited for New Year’s Eve. New beginnings and a whole lot of new things in life. I noticed that every New Year people would always “New Year, New Me.” So what does it really mean by this? Should we change our physical aspect or not? When they ask me if I am a believer of “New Year, New Me.” And I said, no. Why? Because we do not need to be totally new, we just need to be better. Well how will I make myself better for this year?

1.       I need to be more patient on things.

2.       Learn and discover the reality in this world.

3.       And finding out who really I am.

Chapter 1; Day 1 of 365 has officially started. A fresh start. A new chapter waiting to be written. New challenges, new happiness and sorrow and new questions that need to be asked and answered. And the answers that we need to discover. “And now we welcome the New Year. Full of unexpected things we have never been experience yet.”

#ChristmasIsForever

“Christmas waves a wand over the world, and behold everything is softer and more beautiful.”

I see with my little eyes the world covered with joy as December arrives. The Christmas breeze of that brushes my skin. Music to my ears of people goes caroling. And the joy of sharing gifts to one another. But what is the true essence of Christmas?

I have always thought of Santa Claus, on a sled with his reindeer, up in the sky and down to our chimney and showers gift to everyone. But as I get older, I realize that my wild imagination of Christmas was wrong, totally wrong. I learned that Christmas is not all about how many gifts you received or even Santa Claus. But the true meaning and essence of it is how you give a gift voluntarily, the one with sincere thought that comes from your heart. Love is a very powerful and important ingredient you can share to your love ones, it is the most precious gift you can give to someone or to your family. Love is one of those ingredients in finding the rue essence of Christmas. On the other hand, the presence of family is also an ingredient. As one said, the gift of all gifts around the Christmas tree is the presence of the family wrapped up in each other. And that’s the true essence of Christmas for me.

And the last is the care and respect and forgiveness for our dear Christ and importance to the birth of Jesus Christ.  I also believe in forever. And that forever is Christmas. Christmas for me is forever and not just one day because I know that Jesus Christ is within us every day and forever.                                               
And that’s how I opened my mind and heart in reality in the essence of Christmas. 

Reminder: Climate Change

                 

      In every action that we do, there’s always an opposite reaction to it. Just like in the place we called home, Earth. Did you know that with our little doings towards our environment harms or makes Earth better? The state of our Earth today is very alarming. And one of that “at risk problem” is climate change.

                 Climate change, a two-word thought that gives a hundred of problems to our world. Climate change is not new to us; we are now used to with the effects of it to the world. But why is this happening? There are many causes of climate change. One thing is, it is because of the natural phenomena that our happening or maybe because of us people. One example for climate change is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is like a blanket on the earth and a trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm. And it has a natural and necessary to support life on earth. But on the other hand, it can also be dangerous to the human beings. For example, when the climate is warmer it can bring changes that can affect the power, transportation systems, natural environment and even our health and safety. Another effect of the rising or changing of temperature is the rising and lowering of the sea level, more floods, droughts, intense heavy rain and severe heat waves. Our health is also at risk because of climate change or to be more specific the rising of temperature. And with this, it may cause asthma, heart problems and many more. Climate change has a really great effect to us and the Earth.

             The climate is a very important thing and ingredient to our world we should not abuse it and we should also make a way for it to stop the frequent change of it. Because this is our world, we live here and in exchange we need to take care and make it a place worth living for.
