What a preoccupied life of a student is. . . everyday assignments, unexpected quizzes, bundle of projects to be submitted, fun and educational activities in the school. Almost each day, I'm busy working on all those things. And I did not notice that the happy memories in my high school life will soon to be broken. Yes! it's near... a few more days to go before leaving our school, Ilocos Sur National High School! I'm really excited about the graduation, marching going to the stage and receiving the diploma as a sign that I graduated in secondary level.

Mixed emotions is what I feel inside. . .HAPPY because for all the sacrifices that I had made, I'm going to graduate in high school. SAD for me to be separated to my classmates which I consider as my brother's and sister's. It's really hard to say goodbye, to the people thought us, helped to sharpen and who widens our knowledge...the TEACHER'S. To my CLASSMATES and FRIENDS who have shared their talents, laughing together, helping one another and borrowing things to each other. To my SCHOOL where I considered a place to be, it's like a home because we are trained here to be a better men for the future. Even though it is arduous, I must face the reality that I am going to start a new chapter of my life. "THANK YOU" is just a simple word to say but with these two words it is very important for me, for those people who are the reason that I going to graduate. And thank you also to my parents, without them I was not here and for all the efforts and sacrifices that they have made for me. And lastly to our Dear Lord, for the knowledge He have given me. Thank you for giving me a good family, teachers, friends, classmates and a good life.

Graduation is a time when the new chapter of life is mostly finished. . .and have to face the new chapter. We must be prepared for the upcoming problems that may challenge us. And as they have said, we must put GOD first in everything that we must do.HAPPY GRADUATION!!!

A new lesson was again introduced to us by our teacher in the last grading period of our entire high school life. The word window's movie maker. . . the word itself, you can create an idea in it. Yes! this is about how to make a video, audio and a movie where in you can save your finish movies in a CD, tape and others. The new learning's that I have learned is to make a video out of pictures. The steps in making a movie, how to ameliorate it by putting some animations, music and to put a background text on it. And I have learned also on how to get pictures in the Internet.

Problems are unexpected. . . it always come...and later go. I have encountered problems, like in the actual hands-on activity of this lesson, unfortunately, our work station is not yet reformat for that day. So we can't do the activity. And one of the problem that I have encountered is, I was not able to take note of the other steps or procedures.

I addressed my problems in a way that I watched then first my other classmates in doing the activity, so the next day, I will be able to do it. And I borrowed the notebook of my classmate to copy the procedures.

Moving on I will. . . study further about this movie maker because it is interesting and explore more about it. And practice the learning's that I have learned...I may used it in the future. And knowing this lesson, I was amazed in doing some untitled movie.

The second time that I attended the Juniors-Seniors Promenade. It is one of the most unforgettable event on our entire high school life. Students in third year and fourth year class are the one who are involved in this activity, together with their supportive adviser. The girls are dressed with elegant and colorful gowns and the boys, dressed with different suit. The purpose of this JSP for us, students, to be trained in social aspects. I felt a little bit excited in this JSP because I want to see my classmates in their elegant attires. In this event, the new learning's that I have learned first and foremost, to have my self-confidence especially in attending social activity like dancing in front of many people. And as a girl, I have learned how to talked softly , to dance gracefully and respectable, and to act like a woman in front of a man. And being danced with several boys, I have learned that boys are gentle enough to girls, like me.

"Dance is an art". . . it is not important if you are not good in dancing, what matters most is that you enjoy dancing with him/her. The only problem that I have encountered is that the danced was delayed because of the 2 times switching off of the current. It was overload with too much current flowing in the plug.

I addressed the problems by waiting for the current to be switch on again and continue the dance party.

Moving on I will. . .treasure the new learning's that I have erudite in the JSP for the total development of my personality. And the guy whom I danced with. . .I never expected that he will danced me that night. . . that was the most quixotic dance I have ever experienced!

Our Test is Over!!!

Our third periodical test is over!... I find the test difficult in some subjects like Araling Panlipunan and TLE. There are some parts of the test that are arduous for me to answer. And I was pressured to answer our test in TLE because I was running out of time. I have learned that I must skip first the questions that I don't know the answer to be able not to run out of time. I have learned to review or scan my notebooks every night so if a quiz or test will be given, it will be easy for me to answer. The third periodical test is finally over and I'm happy because I did my best to answer all the questions in the test.

Problems are always there to test our patience. . .
The problems that I have encountered were I had no calculator and I forgot some of the formula.

I addressed the problems in such a way that I borrowed the calculator of my classmate. And I tried to recall the formula and as far as I'm concern I know that I did my very best and I'm proud of it.

Moving on I will . . .keep in mind the things that I learned during the third periodical test. And I will value and treasure the new learning's that I have erudite.

Enjoyment in my Christmas Vacation

The time runs fast...Yes it is, because the Christmas season is near. And as a student, I was very happy and excited for the celebration of the Christmas party. When that day came, at first, I felt mixed emotions. Happy for as to celebrate our Christmas program and no assignments and projects that are to be think off. And could see my classmates that they are happy and having fun too. Sad because for two weeks I will not see most of my friends and classmates.
At the very start of my Christmas vacation, the first thing that I had made is to clean my room. And help my mother in doing the household chores too. I was happy that time because I had the chance to bond again with my mother and sister. By the end of the day, we would be able to finish the chores even though we are tired all ready. And one thing that I will never forget for the Christmas vacation is when my cousin Miko and me attended the Misa de Aguinaldo early in the morning. But unfortunately I was not able to complete the 9 mass.
Christmas season is the time of giving. . . I had proven this when when my 2 cousins and me went for a Christmas carol on the day before Christmas. Even though that our country are experiencing economic crisis, people do not forget to give something even small amount of money or a gift to their neighbor or friends. I had totally enjoy my Christmas vacation. And I will never ever forget my experiences on celebrating the Christmas and New Year together with my whole family.

New Discoveries. . .for a Lifetime Erudition

Learning is a lifetime process...How many times that I had heard this words from my teachers and from my parents. Yes! It's true ...we can never learn such thing today nor tomorrow but for a lifetime. Take it for instance, the things I erudite through this subject ICT IV. By introducing new lessons to us, we learn from it and aply it if needed and by those things it may help to sharpen my mind in terms of computer literacy. In our last three activities, the new learnings that I have learned first on how to apply font attributes such as the font color, size and font face. Second, in adding image to my activity 1. Not only 1 image but three images was added to my activity and the third is the Hyperlink.
In doing my three activities, I have encountered a problem in my activity 9 which is the "ADDING IMAGE". The three images did not appear when I saved it for the first time. And I was curious about it because my other classmates activity 9, the images appeared.
There are people who doesn't hesitate to help others. I was able to addressed my problem because of my classmate helped me and tell me what to do.She assist me and she did not left until I finish my activity. I'm lucky to have her as my classmate and my friend.
Moving on I will... follow the instruction well and study my lessons. And do, what my classmate do to me, help others. And the things that I have erudite would be a treasure on my heart and mind.

aMaZinG AcTiViTiEs

It is almost in the half of the school year. And I have gain more lore with the help of our teacher who are always there to teach us. In this subject ICT IV, I was amaze because I have learned much. My little knowledge in terms of computer literacy, gained a lot and became wider in this school year. Of course through the help of our beautiful teacher. We had accomplished many exercises and activities and for every activity that we must do, we gain more knowledge as we do it . On our last two activity which is the activity 6 and 7, I have learned that it is easy to do such thing if you will listen first to your teacher. I have learned the steps on how to put background color and image. And most importantly, I have learned that cooperation is an important thing in doing such an activity with your groupmates.
In this two activities, I have encountered problem but not quite hard. When I did my exercise 7, I forgot the next step after I had choose the image. And I thought that I would not be able to finish that exercise because I was running out of time.
I addressed my problem by asking help to my classmates and thank God, they are always there to assist especially our teacher. Without the help of my groupmates I was not able to finish my activity. And I had prove that "cooperation" makes work easier and faster.
Moving on I will keep in my mind, what I learned on this two activities. I will treasure it and used it if needed. And surely I can used it in the near future.
