Graduation Reflection!

When I was thinking that we are graduating I remember the times we experienced happiness and suffer from despair and loneliness. First year, I remember that I was sending out from our classroom for the first time maybe for my attitude that is not ACCEPTABLE TO OTHERS. For my classmates a lot of quarrels had occurred but we stand still as a family. We never backed down and we never give up as long as there is the love on us. Never forget who are we and what are we guys because we still family even if we take different ways. And still the love that implanted to us for the four years never be lost because we are a family. To my fellow schoolmates never forget the memories we shared and challenges we passed and mistake we learn together for four years because that would be our strongest armour and sharpest blade we bring to face another trials that God will give us. To the student leaders it’s a good job to us. I am ashamed as a student leader I was then the king of bullying in our classroom but then my classmate stand correct me and fight for their right. To those who are bullied you stand and fight, shout and relieve that fear and aim for a warrior fighting for what is right. Not just taking all the punches and not giving revenge. Harden your arm and punch and achieve your dreams with no hindrance like that bullying.To our dear teacher headed our principal Giovani Velasco. Our all pride and dignity salute all of you teachers. We might forget your names but your faces will never be lost. The faces of living heroes who fight for us by sharing your thoughts and ideas, experiences that serves as our guide and most your unconditional love to us. You give more than for what it takes as a teacher but a mother to us. Nurturing your gifts to us and believing that you are the reason why we succeeded high school tragic and challenges. Let us all stand and say “You are our hero, Thank you ma’am and sir” Your sacrifices will be our inspiration to pursue our dreams. Thank you again ma’am and sir.Our glory is with You Lord. We are not here graduating without your presence. Your presence God as teacher and parent guiding us into your light to choose our right career. Lord gives us the way to really decide for what we choose. Lord continues to bless the humanity to continue believing in your presence. Our heart and mind is with you. We are not to say good bye but farewell to you my friend we will see each other again. 

Change

           Change and love is the only thing that is permanent in the universe. It is inevitable in our lives. When we say change, it may be for good or for bad. Change may bring positive or negative outlooks to anyone. But if we stay strong with passions and good faith, change is absolutely on the positive side. 

          Today, our country is facing a lot of problems involving our economy, moral issues and most corruption. But I know,mind in mind, we Filipinos can change for the better place of living. Our heroes had proven cherish to attain freedom. Let us prove that we are worth. Let us have the mind that sets a fire within us and be the change that will make each one of us a true Filipino citizen.

KANNAWIDAN

Fifteen years ago, a noble idea developed in the minds of a group of civic spirited Ilocanos who wanted to promote cultural awareness and preserve the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ilocos Norte. They wanted to rekindle in the youth and future generations the pride of their heritage. The magnificent idea developed and is now a living reality, KANNAWIDAN, the Iloko Foundation of Arts and Culture. Now on its 5th year, the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival had already established its identity as the prime festival of the province. The province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to us younger generations due to the influence of the television, computer and internet. These include traditional tribal rituals, choir and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama, traditional and folk dances, contemporary dance competition and street dancing showdown. These events aimed to encourage young Ilocanos to learn these indigenous songs and dances for sustainability and preservation. The annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held to give citations the local farmers’ extraordinary farm and fishery products and livestock. This Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province’ rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL: ENCOURAGE TO PRESERVE!

My DREAM 10 Years from now..

                                      

Val, after 10 years? As I am thinking how long it is I can’t imagine myself as a successful man. I see myself left behind in all aspects with my classmates. I am just a man a lot of frustrations and sadness. I am totally down and I can’t think straight starving food on the street. I was then mistake on my parent side. But I see it in negative way. If I can’t change myself then that would be myself but if I am firm to relieve the bad habits I can be man.

On this time I finally make up my mind I will enter the life of a seafarer. I've all decided to change my bad habits to see my see myself riding on a ship with pride, wilt the dreams of my parents and the guidance of the Lord. I am the man whose girls are dreaming for. A lot of money and true friends. I have 200 scholars who have been suffering from true despair of poverty. A sport man also having 1 aircraft and 7 vehicles. My parents now are travelling around the world. We have our business nationwide. I have constructed 8 public schools to help children are on street. Well, that would be me if I change the person I am.

I am aiming my dream so I stand still and strong. I’d be more aggressive on things involving school activities. I will do my very best to graduate on that School. I will entrust what will happen and I will do everything just to be the man that I am dreaming of.

REFLECTION

Graduation is real to come close . . . March is coming and we’re all going to another gate with pride and honor to be a son of Ilocos Sur National High School.

        'JOB WELL DONE' for me it is because I give all my best this grading and I will continue to aim high for my future self  until I become successful. I found some difficulties this grading due to my absences but I turned it right by filling the blanks of this subject. The lesson I learned from this grading is never back down just do what you can and achieve what you've got. Move the way it is and feel that you are doing that. Make the best happen because once you did a mistake you die better make it perfect. Stop Filipino time and be prompt in passing requirements.

        Save the best for the last. Expect what you expect but i promise i will do more more than what you are thinking. Never give up.

Endlessly Changing

At this point of time, nothing ever surprises me anymore. Government changes, money system changes, even people changes. So why be surprised if climate changes?
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of

global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose." -Club of Rome. And I guess, this is true. All the interventions we experience came from us. Never by the hands of good and disciplined people shall experience the devastation we are in.

It saddens me a lot knowing that we, not knowing what we are doing, are slowly dying because of the recklessness we continuously doing. I think that one day, if we won't stop destroying mother earth, she'll be the one whose going to punish and take every person's life.

Resolution? Again?!

         I hope I can now fulfill the resolution I have made last year, which I tried doing two years ago, which I planned three years ago. Yeah right, I know it's really doubtful. I've been making resolutions since I was a kid but most of these are just too hard to do.
       If ever they'll gonna ask me for a resolution this year, I'll say, "I don't have any." Because I'm really in doubt if I'm going to achieve it or not. Nevertheless, I have a promise for myself. A promise which is really needed to be kept. A promise of being a better person. A promise of doubling my efforts to be a better person and to have a better life.
