Reflection

OMG! I'm very happy and grateful because finally I already done third grading period. I've learned a lot. I earned more friends and I earned more memories or happy moments also. Especially to our two beautiful practice teachers and also to our loving, caring and understanding subject teacher, Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz. 

ICT is useful and helpful. It’s an application of modern technology to interact and share information among people all fields and develop science through technology. As one of the ICT functions is to help people developing education, it is good for educators and the manager to develop their knowledge and transfer it to people. Moreover, through ICT, the work on the job field can be done more effectively. As a teacher or an instructor, he can develop material and the way of teaching to the students by elaborating the element of the subject in order that the material is easy received by the students. So far, ICT gives easiness to run the teaching learning process.

I learned how to use Microsoft FrontPage. And luckily, it’s easier and faster in doing my other activity. L really learned a lot. Thanks to you teachers. 

New Year, New Me

New year, New me. Many says and think that when they heard the word New me, they only say that they need to make some changes to their body, faces and etc. Many change their hair, dress or fashion just to make or do the New Me word but for me , it’s not.

New Year, my favorite holiday, is one of the most celebrated days in the world. The day is shaped by different customs and traditions. My new year is my favorite holiday. Because this day or moment, I can do everything what I want. Something like I’m free. I know that new year is the best holiday of all people and I see that in many faces. The new year started with joy and happy times. I ended the year with smile. 2012 days. I celebrated my new year with my love ones. My family. My relatives. My friends. And my someone. Being happy is not bad. It is freely made by everyone. And I think this is the only day where everyone is free also.

So, what's happened over the last year? Well, there are some conflicts. But in the end, we’re still okay. Last year, I realized myself that there is something I need to change. Like my character or my attitude. I realized also to be careful of everything what I am going to do or go because base from the news that I heard, everything and everywhere are dangerous. So I need to be careful of everything that I will do. New year new beginning. I need also to focus seriously on my studies. ‘Cause I think from the past days I’m not serious so my grades got low.

Now, then the new year came, January 1, I said to myself that “This is now the time”. And I noticed myself from the past few days that all I want to do is coming true. And I did it. Thank God! I did it. 

The Essence of Christmas

One of the most popular traditions on Christmas is exchanging gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Everyone loves receiving gifts on Christmas. Children, with their innocence wait eagerly for Santa Claus to bring them gifts. In many countries children hang stockings believing that it will be filled with goodies by Santa Claus. But, as adults we understand the significance of giving more than receiving and plan way ahead to get something thoughtful for our near and dear ones.

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas  time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs? When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things-not the great occasions-give off the greatest glow of happiness.  Let us get back our childlike faith again. What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.

          Christmas tree is one of the symbols most easily associated with the festival of Christmas. The Christmas tree takes the pride of place in every living room of every home from Christmas and right up to New Year. Decorating a Christmas tree spells family time as it brings the whole family together right before and at Christmas time. Usually decorations start way ahead of the eve of Christmas. One can get as creative or individualistic as they want to in the process of looking after and decorating their Christmas tree. These are the traditions that have undergone a lot of change with time. The word carol represents a festive song mostly associated with the festival of Christmas. Christmas is very fun. I enjoyed much. My Christmas vacation was great and perfect and I hope your Christmas vacation also. And that's the essence of Christmas for me.
