Change it Starts with me...

“Youths are the hope of the Fatherland,” Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero said.

Yes! I am one of them---the youths that Dr. Jose Rizal mentioned. I’m just a 16-year-old girl but I can help our nation and eventually change it and make it better.

In more than one decade and in almost two decades that I lived here on Earth, I have seen and have encountered different problems, here, there, and everywhere, that our nation is encountered by our nation. And guess what? We people, are the disputes… We are to be blame…We are the ones who are doing these things---these tedious things in our nation. So what will we do now? If I am the one who is being asked, I would say that “I will start the change in me!” Everything starts with ourselves.

"I must discipline myself… I must respect myself… I must love myself…"

Love yourself first before loving others…Respect yourself first before respecting others. Discipline yourself first before disciplining others. Thus, we can change our nation by starting it with ourselves! I, as a youth, I can help change my nation with these traits.

If all the youths have these traits, our nation will be better and we can face all of its problems bravely!

My Dream, My Future

As I grow up, as I wake up in the morning, as I watch the sun rise, I start dreaming about myself in the future---of whom will I be in the near future.

Everybody in this world has their own dreams that they want to come true in the future and I would say, “I am one of them.”

I have my own fantasy, hallucination, illusion, imagination, or DREAM as everybody addresses. I want to be a dean’s leister and finish my college with honor. To be a magna cum laude will be okay with me. I want to be a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and at the same, Lawyer. After passing the licensure examination, I will work in Manila, and there, I will pursue Law. I will pass the Bar Exam and I will have a nice work there. After having a stable job there, I will marry a man who will be deserving for me, who will accept me for who I am, who will be a good father to our two children (I like to have only two children, a beautiful girl and a handsome boy), a good husband, and who will love me not ‘till death do us part’ but till ETERNITY. I will save money because I want to settle in States. I want to migrate there with my family for good. I want to tour around the world but first, around the Philippines.

These are my dreams…dreams that are impossible and hard to conquer…dreams that I want to come true but I’ll only come true, with my perseverance, wisdom, and trust in the LORD. I will ask for His help so that I can fulfill my dreams.

Something New...

As the year of the tiger(2010) came, third Grading Period have been over. It's gonna' be our fourth and last grading period! Third Grading Period left me with a fantastic and interesting knowledge. I've learned something new...

So what's interesting in this quarter? Before, I'm curious on how web pages are designed and made, but now I know and I've been an enthusiast. We have applied our lessons in the previous quarter---the second quarter about making codes and attributes in the notepad. It was more complicated now because you must be good in designing or making a concept to make your web page cool and pleasant. In addition, the program used is the MS Frontpage which is new to me because it's my first time to use it. With my determination and hardwork I know I did a good work but I will let ma'am Eve do the judgment.

Since third quarter is over and the fourth quarter now starts, I must be more3 hardworking and more determinated so that I will be able to do the an excellent work.

Yuletide Season has begun…

Christmas is the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ that is celebrated by every people on December 25. What is its true essence then?

We must always remember that Christmas is all about the birth of Christ and it’s a season for peace, happiness, and love.

Peace.

We must learn how to forgive and to forget even if it’s hard. When there are people who have done rude things to you, just be humble, forgive them, forget what they’ve done, and let God do the right thing.

Happiness.

Christmas is not Christmas when we’re feeling blue. We must cheer ourselves and give joy to others. Giving gifts wholeheartedly and sharing our blessings are the best things we could do this Yuletide Season to bring happiness to everyone.

Love.

This season is not complete without love to one another. There would be Peace and Happiness if there is love. As they said,

“love is one of the most powerful things on Earth.”

It’s the reason why Jesus Christ sacrificed His life to save us from our sins.

Peace, Happiness, and Love, are the true essence of Christmas because it would not be perfect without these.
