Second to the very Last

This last Third Periodical Test in our high school life, I was so really, really had up. Why? Because of so many reasons, first we were busy at the The Dove encoding all the articles needed for the school paper so I wasn't able to attend my classes. Because of this I missed some lessons, I even missed exercises, quizzes and assignments. And I really regret for it. But before the test, I told my two friends to come to school early for us to review. So we did, we came early to school, to review. I used their notes to review on to, and I really thank them, without them I might got low scores in all the tests we took.

This Third Periodical Exam has been a great nightmare for me because I got low scores in some of my subjects, even in my favorite subject, Math. Resulting to this, some of my grades went down, which I really don't want to happen, however some of my grades in the other subjects went up a little and even remained. With this, I went down in the class standing. And I didn't even included in the top 10. This is my very first time in my student life that I was not included in the top 10.

This Forth Grading Period, I promise to cope up in my studies. I will do my best to be included again especially I am about to graduate on March. I will again make it to the top.

Away

Christmas is one of the most awaited day of our life because it's the time when we give and receive gifts from our parents,relatives, friends, ninongs and ninangs and especially our special ones. But these gifts are useless if it is given without love, because above all the gifts we accept, love is the greatest among those and love is one of the three essences of Christmas, to love, to forgive and forget and to share what we have to the needy ones. That's why some people say, and even songs do, let's make everyday a Christmas day.

When Christmas comes we usually have a week, or more, school-break. Christmas, I believe, is a family day because during Christmas some or most of the families around the world, are having their family reunions. But last Christmas, sad to say, I was away from pour house , from my family. Last Christmas, I was with my relatives. So, I was sad.

Last Christmas, when the clock says 2:00 in the morning I used to get up from bed to attend the Simbang Gabi. I tried to complete the sessions of the Simbang Gabi but unfortunately I did not. I missed the last Simbang Gabi and the Misa de Gallo, I regret for it. But I promise to complete the Simbang Gabi this coming Christmas 2009.

Last Christmas I was absolutely bored because I haven't seen my friends. I missed them, especially the two of my close friends. And I also miss school life and I also missed him.....(secret). Staying in my relatives made me also miss my family because this is very first time that I will celebrate Christmas away from them, especially my father is at home.

When the clock strikes at 12:00, I had made three wishes. The first one is for my family, the second one is for my friends and the last one is for them....

Despite of being bored, I'm still happy celebrating Christmas , and even New Year, because God has gave me another year to live for, and to survive for and to spend for good. But let's still and always remember, the gifts we receive has no meaning if there's no love in it, because Christmas means loving and loving means forgiving and forgiving results to sharing. That's my own definition of Christmas.

I did it with Them!

In our studies, there's always a time wherein we will come across or encounter things we didn't know previously. For me, it's the essence of being a student, to learn something we didn't know.

HTML was introduced to us in the Second Quarter of our studies in ICT IV. And we had made many exercises in HTML since, using the so-called "notepad."

Actually, we had made 8 exercises from it. And the latest is the Exers 6, 7 and 8, of course. Exer 6 is quite easy. We're just going to put background color to the context. I didn't exerted much effort to do it. But of course, at first, I was really innocent. I don't know what i am going to do so, I asked for my classmates' help and assistance.

Exer 7 , it's just the same with exer 6 but the difference of the two is that, in exer 7 we are going to put a background picture while exer 6 is a background color. i get the picture installed in the computer. I took much effort to do it because of some unwanted errors. Though it's hard, I still did it with my best and with the assistance of my classmates.

This Third Grading, I was really busy because we were busy encoding articles for our school paper so I excused in my classes many times, maybe for two weeks or more. With this, I had missed many lessons and exercises especially in ICT. When the school paper was already published and distributed, I have the responsibility to cope up in my studies. In ICT, I missed one exercise, Exer8.

With the assistance of my classmates, though i don't know what to do, I still did it. So, I thank my classmates for being so considerate and for helping me do my Exers. And i also thank God for having them as my classmates even though graduation is fast approaching.

BORING!!

SEMBREAK??????....DAh.... How BORING is it????????????!!!!!!!!!! TO THE MAX!!!!!!!! It's really..,,,.really very BORING!!!!!!!!!!! How I wish there wasn't semestral break anymore!!!! What a BORING SEMESTRAL BREAK!!!!!!!!! I f I were to list down all the things that I've done from te start of the sembreak until it ends,,,,, I think I did the same thing I've done from the beginning. I did my responsibilities in our house,,,... doing house hold chores,,during my siesta time I used to t
ext my friends.
The other thing that made me bored is that, for one whole week I wasn't able to see my friends................have fun with them, share them stories and many others..........That's what I really missed during sembreak!!!!! So, one midnight,,,, I find myself crying while sleeping......... The thing is that I fdreamed of something that says that me, myself, and my friends are going to be apart from each other.and that thing is what I really don't want to happen. I want them always beside me. How I wish I spent my break with them with our..........LEI,LARRY AND LEE........hahahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE FIRST TIME!

HTML.........it's not familiar. What's this?? What about this?? Why this?? This are just some of the questions on my mind when I first heard the 4- letter word acronym......HTML. For the Second Grading Period in our TLE, our topic is all about HTML which means Hypertext Mark-Up Language. A t first, I was very innocent about this. I really don't have even a little knowledge about HTML. In fact, it's my first time to encounter this.
During our Second Grading Period, we did so many exercises regarding HTML such as making an HTML file. At first, it's really hard and I can't even follow but as days go by............ I can already follow!!!!!!! On my first HTML FILE or exercise, I am very curious on those letters wit brackets around it. I don't know what are the use of those. And when I finally saved my first ever HTML file or document, when I opened it, I couldn't see those letters which surrounds by brackets. However, when discussions went by,,... I already understood all of those. I discovered that those letters with brackets around it are called Tags.
When I successfully did my exercises, I was really glad for that's my first five ever HTML files or documents.
KNOWLEDGE can make one Great and Successful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT

Climbing a mountain is not as easy as eating peanuts. It is a very rigid and really a very hard challenge. Come to think of it- three hours to four hours of walking going up to radar? At almost 4 kilometers? Whaaaaa!!!! But still, I have faith and hope, I have the courage, I have the confidence, and I believe IN myself and see??? I make it. I was able to go up, climb up the mountain going to Radar. And I'm very,very,very proud of myself.I did the greatest achievement in my high school life and even in my whole life. I will cherish and surely I will not forget this experience of mine.

August 31, 2008- it was the day when we went to Radar. On this day, I really woke up early just to get to the school early because the departure of the bus will be 6:30 a.m. Upon arrival to school, I have seen the bus that we will be going to ride on and the excitement in my heart grew. On our way through Radar, I was again excited. My smile seems to reach my ears or even the back of my head. While walking, I learned that cooperation and companion is what badly needed in this kind of journey. Come to think of this- going up to Radar without a companion? It's really hard because you can't express your feelings of happiness, enjoyment and amazement. While walking, I can't help seeing the beautiful view of our own province, Ilocos Sur. Wow! It's really amazing! The problem that I'd encountered is that I did not have enough rest. Because one of my companions, a guy, doesn't want us to rest for a long time. How I was dismayed? And he is also very talkative. But thanks to God, without any damage I successfully climb up the mountain going up to Radar. I was able to climb up even though I am very, very, very much tired. When we are already there, I directly took a sit and even lied on the grass. If I was not mistaken it's almost 10:00 when we arrived at the top. When my classmates and friends had already arrived, we ate our lunch together. All sat on the grass and under the sun. At about 1:00- 2:00 in the afternoon, we decided to go down from the mountain because it seems that a rain is coming. Oh! how I wish it would happen again? I'm happy in my experience: for one- I successfully climb up the mountain going to Radar, an experience that not everybody can do, and for two- I went there together with my friends.

I already given off my footprints there so, I believe that no one could ever erase that. For me, I already consider myself great and my feet do make me great.

TESTS FOR A BETTER FUTURE

In our life as students, we used to take up examinations that will test on how we understand the lessons that were discussed. One of the major examinations that we usually take up is the quarterly exams or we use to call it as "PERIODICAL TEST." I find our test hard in general. I felt embarrassed, disappointed and many more negative feelings/ emotions. Because I never expected that our tests will be that hard. From the quotation, "Negative acts results Negative." It is very true.. I felt negative so, I got low in some or almost all o my subjects. I was again embarrassed when I have seen my test papers with a low score..But still, I still have hope, it's not yet the end of the world. I still have three more grading periods to cope up.................
On August 27,2008, we took up our NCAE, National Career Assessment Examination. Fourth year students, like me usually take up this kind of test to prepare our future and so that we will not be hard up in choosing our course when entering in college. In our test, I discovered and find out that some of the items in the test are our lessons in elementary, first year, second year, and third year... However, almost all of the items in the test are forth year lessons. I find our test easy as in e-a-s-y....especially in the Mathematical and Scientific Ability.

For me, I think and I believe that the only problem that I have encountered is that I never fully prepared for it. But the major problem that I have encountered is that I don't have notes to review on to in some of our subjects...

In every problem there's always a corresponding solution. I was able to overcome these problems by just trying my best to answer those questions. In simple words, i made a guess.. And I also tried my best to recall the lessons that we have discussed. And the best way that I've done to overcome my problem is that, I'd just leaved the item blank..

Moving on, I will try not to be lazy in taking down notes so that in the future, I will have references, and so that I'll also have notes to review on to when test comes..
