How Does It Take To Be An ICT Student?

     Information Communications Technology, studies involving computers and other electronic technology.  It is one of the interesting subjects for me.
     Not all the students here in our school are given the chance to have a computer subject in their class, only the 2 sections of Special Classes and the 5 sections of the regular class.  Being an ICT student, I have given the chance to learn more about computer.  ICT enhances my ability on operating the computer and it widens my knowledge about the computer.  Learning this subject had helped me on how to use the Photoshop, how to use the blog, how to use different kinds of tags and many more.
     ICT subject had helped me a lot, I've learned many things about it and I wanted to learn more.

My Dream, My Future

     “Dreams are today’s answer for tomorrow’s questions.”  All of us have a dream, a dream that may serve as an inspiration, for us to have a better future.  If a person doesn’t have any dream to fulfil, what would their life be in the future?
     I have a dream in life that I want to achieve, a big dream to reach. A dream that I want to be in the future, since I was a kid until now, I’ve always dreamed to be a doctor, a very successful one.  Now that I’m a graduating student, and it’s time to pick a course for college, I thought very well if I’ll go for a course for pre-med., I thought twice, thrice and many times about it just to be sure because this is for my own future.  Then I became sure, this is what I want, this is who I want to be.
     We should never stop dreaming, never stop dreaming big.  We should believe in our self that we can achieve that dream and we must be sure that it is what we want.

Change: It Starts with Me

     All of us change for the better.  Some people also change in their worst.

     For us to have a better living a change must be done and it must start within ourselves.  We must change for the better not for worst for us to have a great or better life.  If before, we are irresponsible, not disciplined and if we knew that we are doing things that are not good for us, it’s time to change, let us be a better person.  Let us not depend on other people to have a better life, it is only us can make our life better and we can do it by changing.

     Everyone can change, if people want to.  While we are still living in this great world, there is always a chance for us to change.

Kannawidan: The Ylocos Festival

     The Kannawidan Festival was launched in 2008 under the leadership of then Governor DV Savellano.  It’s now the 5^th year of the Kannawidan Festival, it was celebrated on the 29^th of January u to the 5^th of February.

     Thorugh the Kannawidan Festival, we Ilocanos, can preserve our traditions and products of our town and we can also promote tourism industry.  The Kannawidan Festival was opened with a concelebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints in the afternoon of January 29 and on the night of the same date, the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds.  There were also different contests for elementary and high school students.  Partuat ken Patanor Trade and Agri Fait also opened and the annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held.

     Through the Kannawidan Festival, it can help the young generation, like me to know the traditions and products that we have here in Ilocos Sur.

My Reflection: Third Grading

Third grading has ended.  And now, it’s time to make another flashback about the things that I’ve learnt on the third grading.

Tags! Tags! Tags! It’s all about tags.  From 2^nd grading up to the 3^rd grading, our topic is the tags.  From basic tags, we went on discussing the other tags which for me is a little bit difficult.  This grading, Mrs Vera Cruz taught us about the HTML Images, HTML Links, Tag Attributes and Font Attributes.  From this topic, I’ve learnt how to display an image to a page, apply a background image and color, apply font face, font color and font size on a word or sentence and link a page to another page.

I have encountered some challenges in our lesson.  I find this topic very interesting but a bit hard for me, because the tags are too long to memorize, and I don’t know if I will be able to remember it without seeing or peeking on my notes.  But even if I encountered some problems or challenges, I always do my best to do our activities very well.  And even if I find it a little bit hard, I have gained so much knowledge and I also find it very interesting and fun.

On the next grading, I hope that we will tackle another interesting topic. And I hope that I will learn more.

New Year, New Me

“Another fresh new year is here . . .

Another year to live!

To banish worry, doubt, and fear,

To love and laugh and give!

This bright New Year is given me

To live each day with zest . . .

To daily grow and try to be

My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity

Once more to right some wrongs,

To pray for peace, to plant a tree,

And sing more joyful songs!”

                ~William Arthur Ward

     New year, new life, new hope, new personality.  That is the perspective of each person when the year changes.  This is also my perspective in life.  Every new year, I always have new year's resolution, but sometimes, I do not accomplished it.  But this year, it's time to change all my bad habits and my personality.  And I do it now, I become more responsible, better and mature person.  Negative habits, like being irritable, grouchy, and lazy and so forth, are changed.  And the changed in my attitude and personality is preserved to good.

     Even though it is not New Year, everybody can change, if we prefer.  But whatever our hard work to change, without perseverance, nothing happens to ourselves and our lives.

Keeping In Mind Our Mother Tongue

     Our first language is also known as our MOTHER TONGUE.  It is the language a person has learned from birth.  For an easily understandable explanation, it is our native language or our own dialect. :)

     In every place in this world, we all have our mother tongue.  Here in Ilocos, our mother tongue is Yloco.  From the day that I've learned to speak, our mother tongue is the first language that we have learned and the first language that our mother have taught to us.

     We should bare in mind our native language, for us to understand our fellowmen.  Even if we are learning or we know other languages, we should still use our own dialect.
