REFLECTION

Glad to be Missing

        Our years as a high school student has to end, only we’ll just wait for our graduation yet I’m not ready for the coming of a new school yea, college life. We know that it’ll be hard for us to let go but hope still our alma mater will always be in our hearts and we’ll try to always visit and feel like we’re a high school student again.

         

          On my first day here in Ilocos Sur National High School, I was like a small young girl curios of everything that is happening for I’ve not used to it. In the flag ceremony, we lined up in our lines, really before; I thought we’re lost for there were so many people in their called field, I’m thankful then when someone had guided as to our lines. My high school life made me feel much free from making friends and do things I’d never tried or experienced in my elementary life.

 We were introducing ourselves in front of the class. My seatmate before was Marielle, she was at my left side just near our door and Marcel who were at my right side. He’s so weird then, I can’t really tell before what is on his head. All the other boys seated on our back were just laughing with the reason I don’t know. Maybe they are just I don’t know. But for me the best year of my fourth years of stay as a high school student was when I was at the second to third year high school for these years I’ve known all of our classmates. When our fourth periodical test where over, we are jamming on our class, playing such songs and singing. It is just so fun and I’m missing it.

 I know that now that we are to graduate, we have responsibilities to be done and we have to do all of our undone projects for us to be cleared in our clearance and so that we can get or diploma’s maybe or the certificate that’ll prove that we are really a graduate of this school. Now we’re closer to our dreams. and I'm happy with it. hope our dreams will come true and i'm glad to be starting a new life.

My Dream My Future

Iti’s Me

          A new chapter of my life is about to start. And it is me now to decide what I want to ensure my future life. When I was I child, I’ve wanted to be a nurse and s the years pass by, I’ve known something bout what this is. They say that many want to be a nurse and its now not on demand here in our country only abroad. That’s one of the least reason I have not to choose that course.

          When I’m now in high school, when our teacher had told me to do some autobiography of anyone we want to. I’ve chosen my father and I’ve known everything about what is his ambition before and how we his children change his good life before. It started when my mother left us and my father has to leave his work in change of guiding us as we grow. My father must maybe a rich man now worrying nothing but our sake and education. Because of us he sacrificed all of his goals and ambitions in life, and to that I want to be greater than him. I want to pursue my dream, to be an accountant someday and to live with my family.

          I want to help my father, and continue what he had started even do I know he doesn’t really believe on what I can do. I’ve tried to play simple for I want to make them believe in me even though I’m only like this. I want to earn their trust even if I know it’s hard. One of my side blame my mother for his the reason I feel like I’m being blamed by my father on what is happening in our life. But I do understand still.

          So for my dream I want to make my own where no one can ever direct me of what they want. It’s me either.

Change It Starts with me

          Many things are changing continuously, without you noticing these. Even friendships. Distances make some of it imperfect. I’ve learned that change is permanent in this world I do belong and I have to be on the flow of life. We grow old; we can’t stay as young as we want too. But still we are to realize things from what it really mean for we’ve a little time more.

            

      Calamities are yet continuously occurring and sometimes we’ve never notice it. Like what they say, they say last Monday a high intensity of earthquake have occurred and we were at the gym practicing for our Pinning of Ranks, some had noticed it but I really never. I even don’t believe at first but when I heard some rumors saying that an earthquake has occurred there I feared that in any moment we can die to these unexpected ones.

            I fear for the future. Modernization is now fast approaching, affecting our lives and even our cultures or traditions. Some of us are now into it, buying things that we don’t really need. Throwing things that still can be used. Why do some don’t really value small things? Thought this could be compared to some relationships. I imagine my life as a small dot surrounded with nothing but spaces but as the time goes by, these changed. Friendships made me stronger. And it’s up to me if I’ll change my thing. I’m contented with what I have right now. Changing has its good and bad sides.even thouh things are changing I know love can also change, it grows inside of our hearts and leave a good mark.

Kannawidan Festival

Yet Astonishing

      

  For my almost three to four years of stay here in Ilocos Sur National High School as a high school student, I don’t even know what Kannawidan Festival is. I don’t even know what’s happening in there. I did not even notice this festival in the last few years, only now. I have searched about what is Kannawidan Festival. It says that this festival is showcasing the different cultures or religious acts and heritage of our fellow Ilocano’s. The word “Kannawidan,” means traditions.

                They say “this year marks the province’s 193rd year based on the Royal Decree dated February 2, 1818 separating Ilocos Sur from Ilocos Norte. Prior to this date, the stretch of Bangui in Ilocos Norte down to Luna La Union is called Ylocos which is a term to refer to the coastal inhabitants. It literally meant “from the lowlands”. The Philippine Historical Committee branded Ilocos Sur especially Vigan as the Heart of Ilocandia.

                Mainly Ilocano’s trade their different products here in Vigan. Every places here in iIocos Sur have their famous OTOPS. Like here in Vigan, that is showcasing their famous longganisa, the municipality of San Vicente showcasing their furnished furnitures and many more. During the festival, the governor of Ilocos has prepared some activities that was joined by those who are into sports. One is  the motorcycle race, that are joined by many.

                Our province of Ilocos Sur has more to offer to us locals that are wishing for some vacation and also to tourists. You don’t have to go to places far from us, Our province of Ilocos Sur has more to offer and it continue to progress as time pass.

New Year New Me

I Do Want to Change

          
             This might be the beginning again of a new life and everything. Struggles are felt but still, I’m here standing. The year 2013 had passed and here is 2014.

          I started my year with a smile and with hopes. Hoping for something that is good for me and for others that I dearly love. Last year I met a man who is just perfect for me. He is all I've ever wanted. But in this, I've already forgot some of my obligations with my friends. Think I am not worthy at all. But that could be my sacrifice, I should let them free now that I know their just good and seems like they've never lose something in their lives. Maybe I would be happy with it, I've gone out of their lives without being noticed.

          Last year was memorable. But the fact that I am hurting my love ones because of my wrong attitudes is alarming. I’m losing my friends because of this. I want to leave my sensitiveness in the past. I want to be a better person. It is enough that I've hurt one. I do want to change. Hope I can reach one of my goals for this year; one is  “to change.” Not the whole thing just a small part of me. I want to be more responsible in everything now that I'm going to college. I'll be graduating after this last grading, and its so depressing? i do consider my high school life as one of the most unforgettable stage of my life. I'll be grateful if still their let us in when we're now graduates.

           This year I want to be a better person, a more mature one. Time ticking!

Reflection

Last Grading Ahead

        The third grading period will soon be over. As our third periodical test will soon be held tomorrow, I then again rush to review all my lessons hope I’ll get enough grades for me to stay in the science class until the fourth grading comes. Anything can happen, we can’t state what it is going to be.

          This third grading period, I notice that I still get late coming in class.  Though it’ll be our last year in Ilocos Sur National High School, I’m trying to enjoy the remaining months, for we will be on our  next stage of our lives, going to college.

          In the last few days I’ve been so lazy doing some of my projects and before we had our first day of school this year, I’ve rushed my leisure reading report in English. Last year in our Christmas program, I experienced their so called “budol fight,” it was fun. Good luck for us in our third periodical test, hope we’ll get high, and good luck for us on the fourth grading period.
