Reflection

"Lahat ng bagay may hangganan." Masakit tanggapin lalo na kapag napamahal ka na sa bagay na iyon pero kailangan. Ito na siguro ang huling artikulo na aking susulatin. Huling markahan na ito at huling buwan ng  pagiging Grade 10 student ko.

Masasabi ko na sa huling markahan na ito, may natutunan ulit ako tungkol sa photoshop. May mga ilan lang na hindi ko naintindihan pero ayos na rin. Napag-aralan na namin ang photoshop noong nasa ika-walong baitang kami. Nakalimutan na namin iyon ngunit sa baitang na ito, naipaalala ulit sa amin ang mga ito. May tulong din ito para sa kinabukasan namin. Siguro kakailanganin din namin ito sa susunod pang yugto ng aming buhay.

Masakit isipin na ito na ang huli. Ngunit masasabi kong naging masaya ako.

Creating My Future

          Since I was still young, I already dreamed. Dreamed to be a teacher, to be a singer, dancer, artist. And now that I am more matured, I think I already dreamed everything. To be a teacher, a singer, dancer, artist, lawyer, chef, and to be an accountant. It's funny to think but yes that is true. It's a little bit hard to choose but I have to. I choose one and that is to be accountant. 

          If I don't dream, I may not enjoy my life. Maybe because if I don't have dreams I won't work hard. And my life will be boring. I'm  happy to be a student even if it's  hard because I know, this is the way to my dream. Like what they said, "no gain, no pain". It's painful to be a student. You will experience, downfall, nervous, break down, and everything. In exams you have to experience to sleep late at night before you get a nigh score. But these are just challenges and training to be ready for what I want to have. It's hard now, I know it will be harder in future.

          "The best way to predict your future is to create them" and that is what I do. I am creating my own future.

Feel It to Enjoy It

"Discipline!"
"Your lines!"
"Spaces!"
"Silence."
          Some lines of my classmates even me to be organized during the parade. It's funny thinking that this is our last school year as a junior high school student but it was our first time to put so much effort to gain awards. And yes! Efforts are paid off. We got the awards that we wanted to have and that carried our section and the name of our supportive adviser. It was just so nice to think that if you work hard for  the thing you want to have, you will have it.
       
          Yes I enjoyed the 117th High School Day Celebration. I enjoyed watching the field demo of different grade levels and also the presentation of the teachers. Being a grade 10 student I can say that I was able to express myself in dancing. We didn't win the field demo and that was not new because  we still haven't experienced to be the best. And we did not expect anymore because the other grade levels proved that they deserve to win.
       
          I could enjoy the High School day because I wanted to. And that I think the essence of celebrating.

All for Kannawidan, Kannawidan for All

Every year, we are celebrating our own festivals. Longganisa festival, Binatbatan Festival and of course Kannawidan Festival. Here, we are celebrating our own culture, our own tradition, our talents, we are celebrating as Buigeños and as Ilocanos!

When I went to Kannawidan, I saw different things. Different products from different towns. I saw great things that I never know Ilocanos could do. I also watched the competition for folk dance and I felt how they patronize our own culture. I saw how they are happy in dancing a folk song. There are also competitions that Ilocanos are joining to prove their selves that Ilocanos are also have talents.

By these, I learned that by celebrating our festivals, we are also showing our talents so I learned that these festivals are platforms to show our talents and to be proud of them.

To Make a Change is to be Helpful

Thousands of simple candy wraps can ruin the world. It can cause flood that can also cause damaging the nature. By these reasons, I can connect the candy wraps to us people. Thousands of simple person who do bad things like crimes, abuses, hatreds, dishonesties, betrayals can ruin the world. If we, all people have the thought that “we are just human so wen can do all we want”, what will happen to us?

So there comes the idea in me that if all have the thought of changing for the better, for the world, it would be the best. We can all start changing ourselves. So I can also start changing myself. Not only for myself but for the community. Of course I will start from simple things until it becomes bigger and bigger. It’s simple but it’s helpful. We can all do this.

If we all unite, we can do change.

Another Life to Start

If there is an end, there is also a beginning. There is an end for sadness, there is a beginning for hapiness. There is an end for darkness, there is a beginning for lightness. There is an end for every year, there's always a beginning.

Another year end and another year began. It's like another problem end and another relief began. I have a lot of things left in my 2018. There are successes, failures, highs, and lows. My 2018 was full of negativities. Ghere are a lot of challenges I faced. So in my 2019, I don't want to bring back the bad things in my past. What I need to do is to be on positive sides. I don't want to think negatives anymore just to make myself feel so down.  I don't want to be a villain in my story anymore.

In this year, what I need to do is to make a change. Change for the better. Not just for myself, but for my family, my friends, my loved ones. There is a saying "To live in the past is to die in the future." And that is what I hold on to. I don't bring back the past. I learn from it.
