week break, week work

Sem break! What's usual about it? Nothing... Nothing at all because i had a lot of works to do... A week work loaded my semestral break!

During the first day of my semestral break, I went to school to prepare for our seminar workshop in the school paper, the DOVE. I had a very tiring day because I really needed to accomplish everything because on the next day, I will compete for an essay writing at Saint Louis College in La Union. I stayed in school for almost a day. I exerted extra time working... Everything! But thank God, He had given me to accomplish things. He blessed me clear thinking to complete the tasks given to me. I really felt hopeless that time.... it felt like, I would lose a single second of time if i had'nt worked.

During the second day, an opportunity opened in front of me and that was the Regional UP Namnama Sirib Quiz Show. I gained another experience in my life. Though i did'nt brought home the "bacon"... The experince was worth rejoicing for. The travel was exhausting and i even felt migraine because of sleep deprivation. There was a loud "bang" in my head when i went home, and another thing to feel troubled about was our seminar-workshop!

I hadn't personally witnessed the opening program of the training but according to my advisers, it was a successful opening! (relieved!) We had series of sessions but it was not really boring as what others think about it. The topics were really interesting and in addiotion, we had a very lively interaction! a wild interaction from the participants also! The moments were great. We had a good time making "eyes breakers"... the "go chokipa thing"... almost everything about the seminar!

We ended the training succesfully and I felt fulfilled because I can really say that we (the DOVE staffers who were there) did a good job! We initiated the seminar and we were involved.


At the end of my sem break, my family and I went to the cemetery and celebrated the "all soul's and all saint's day" peacefully....


SACRIFICE- it is my instrument in keeping my feet in the battle field! in every single second of every individual's life, we make sacrifices, though sometimes unnoticed, it creates the turning point of their lives- changing them into a "real grown" individual.

it pays to be....

Second quarter... I now exit your portals but in my mind, there had been numerous questions which were left unanswered before. A lot of them, really....

During that quarter, I was really hard up coping with the subject in ICT-IV because of countless extra curricular activities I join in. I had even missed a single quiz because of that.... I was chasing after the lessons about "tags" and "html" stuff and there was even a time that i felt like saying "who cares about those things?" " I could catch up with my lessons!" but then, i realize that those things were not just simple things..... those stuffs were not worth taking granted for.... I suffered at first, because I did lie down low my lessons and it taught it me one lesson.... maybe, I should say, lessons truly come at the end. You know what made me suffer?

It was our second quarter periodicals... after having the test questionnaire, i was left puzzled... my mind was hanging because i had no idea about the test and I really didn't know what to answer.

The lesson? Of course you can get it easily.... the lesson was that; I must not take things for granted, no matter how small they are in my own perception. That was not a bluff! Things should be valued... everything. The fact that i am in a special science class, i should not have that kind of attitude. (May this post share a lesson to others)

Second quarter.... this game me new doors for my own improvement. To change the things that made me repent in the past. Second quarter woke me up from the truth! it brought me back to the truth - that I must exert extra efforts on everything, so that in the end, I would reap what I planted and nurtured at the beginning.

So, I really look forward in the third quarter, that I would revive and expand my interest in every little thing that comes in the way. Third quarter, I say "hello" to you and "hello" to the new me.

Have This Mere Learning

We've come this far in our ICT-IV and I mean it's no mere computing at all. The word's meaning doesn't stop at simpletyping or encoding.

This second quarter, we furnished our skills in designing our blogs and we are also now preparing on designing web page (the HTML, that sort of thing)

HTML.....? Inever heard of that term before until we went on deeper our discussion. so, basically HTMLmeans "hypertext mark-up language"... but what do we do about it? we use the HTML to display instrutions which will be read by the browser in our internet. that's our lesson for today, I guess.

But during our class, a funny thing always comes in my mind whenever i hear the word "tag" in our computer. i always compare the tags in computer to the one placed in groceries. howsilly? but in fact, i wasalso puzzled on how to make one. you need to type this and type that, but it was really wonderful making tags. then in an instant,it would feellike it is a magic after accomplishing your tags... the browser will read the instructions you typed on your notepad. you'll use the knowledge when you are planning to make your own website.

So, i have here other meaning of the term HTML:

Have
This
Mere
Learning

H.T.M.L. because i know in the future, we'll apply what we've learned fromour ICT-IV.

fast phase!

Like a quick response of Internet Server to Browsers, we now end up our first quarter in ICT-IV- a fast phase of learning i must go with or else, i won't be able to dance along with the music of learning. that's how life goes, that's what ICT-IV is all about-instant!

After almost three months of our computer-based subject, i have already knew loads and loads of concepts of Internet. Although those concepts were just basics, it helped me a lot and I know, it will help me in the future. who could build a castle without starting from the base? Just like in ICT-IV, these basic knowledge I've learned in the first quarter would serve as the foundation for my future learnings. I know, there would still be more exciting stuffs that we'll discuss for the coming quarters.

Just a recap of what we've learned; we started on the history of the internet, it's pioneers, it's applications, important terms like the "http" (hypertext transfer protocol) then we came to blogs. there were countless ideas our teachers have shared to us. she is very approachable and has a lot of theings to share when it comes to ICT-IV.

ICT is life. It's a part of our own lives for we are living with it. We must take every decisions we make in life and in this subject seriously for it has something to do with our future. Knowledge and skills- these are the things we can gain and attain in this subject. it is a unique chance we must grab because only few has this subject in this curriculum.


We must keep everything rolling and moving. we still have three quarters to improve ourselves and discover new things, new concept, new learnings. Don't be afraid to dig down your limitations. You can stretch that boundary if you have the guts to explore your world- like the tricky web of information in the Internet!

confession......

it started this way....
there's you and me in the scene.....
we were so close, comfortable with each other....
minding our own world, feeling like there's no one around.
i wont be bothered with what they might say.
no, i won't.

we've created this paradise
a place for the both of us alone.
we've started to reach for the heavens
wherein i am the god and you are the goddess.
we are immortal,
yes, we are.

we wandered through the glimmering skies,
and you are the reason for its spark
no, i wont miss the chance to steal,
a moment to stare at your priceless face....
like a diamond.....
no, it wont fade away.





.....................................to be continued

beyond the possible........

i've commited mistakes, i've wasted so much time but i continue learning. it's a lifetime process they say and it's true. though i have not gotten everything that i desired for, i know God has other plans for me and He has saved other opportunities and chances for me to discover on my own.

Yes, i'm now on my fourth year of stay here in the place i call second home..... a shelter which sheds me millions of memories i will not forget- ILOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. now is the time for me to get serious but as i am doing so, i only realize that the more i get serious, the more i lose the chance to know my self. everything. including the persons around me.

i'll explore my world! i'll dig into it deeper!- beyond the possible things!

from now on.....

I'm now on my fourth year here in ISNHS. New things started to change my high school life. New responsibilities, new and additional subjects but one thing i won't throw away is the our Computer subject. Fourth year means an exciting lesson for us in computer. we started to surf on the net and that's definitely one of the things I love about computers! Now, were starting to make blogs (like what i'm doing right now!)

right now, i'm not yet facing any problems regarding our subject. (thank God!) maybe as the discussion goes on i might be facing a problem on web page design because i really don't have any idea on how to start one!

to overcome these problems or problems in the future, i need to study the lessons more and i believe that i can also learn from my classmates who are good in computer!

moving on, i'll try to concentrate more on our class because honestly speaking, i'm a little bit "pasaway!"
