GOODBYE 2nd QUARTER...HELLO 3rd!

OCTOBER 19, 2007

Few more days to go and secong grading period will be over..................Again, I have learned wonderful lessons not only educational but, about lessons in our lives.

Second grading is quite hard for me compared to the last one. Here, I can say that projects and requirements kept on pouring like rain and usually I am very rattled. There are assignments that sometimes I missed and quizzes too. But through the kindness of my teachers and through the help of my classmates, I conquered all of that! This time is also my time to excel. I joined dozens of contests mostly on arts and sometimes I'm lucky to win such. My life became also a roller coaster of learnings and feelings this quarter. I said feelings because, there came a time when one of my precious friend left us(meaning our circle of friendship). I'm so terribly hurt whenever I see her with her new "barkada" and I felt guilty because one of the reasons why she left is my attitude and I admit that sometimes I can't help to act like that because all I knew is that nobody is hurt. Though I talked and asked forgiveness to her, I still feel awkward whenever she's around and whenever I attempt to talk to her but, I hope that time will heal the wound. There are also times that I really want to give up on my study but, I always bear in my mind that these are just my stepping stones to excellence so, I never gave up and still live my life to the fullest and in the end I saw the fruit of my labors. It may not be as great as I expected but still I felt content.

Finally, as I bid goodbye to this half of school year and meet another chapter of challenges, new learnings and discoveries this third quarter, I promise to excell more, to be more patient, always cherish and be productive in this small span of time left in this school that I loved for four years, the ever dearest ISNHS and always trust everything to GOD and give my BEST always!!!

"TIME UNFOLDS, BUT MEMORIES HOLD"

September 20, 2007

In all that we do, mistakes happen. Challenges and obstacles are always there to oppose us. But, among all those problems, precious blessons remain.

As I sat quietly inside our classroom, I deeply reminisce the first day when classes opened. How I wish time would just freeze so I can have more moments enjoying my days left in highschool but, I know this dream will never come to life. I know that everything ends with goodbyes and it's so hard for me to let go this memorable chapter of my life and I keep in mind that I can cherish my meager time by bonding deeper with my cliques and making unforgettable happenings with them.

It's been three months since my 4th year life started. It is full of downfalls, pressure, problems, excitement, love, defeat and success. The thing is I had always problems in everything especially, reviewing my notes and doing my homeworks. I'm so depressed with my test scores in Chemistry and so down-hearted in Physics. I listen to the lectures but, it's as if my consciousness is closed. I can't count how many times I rushed my assignments and I had a difficulty in budgeting my time. Even if I schedulled my to do's on this day, it is always jumbled up because I can't control my time. I envy also my schoolmates for having the nicest, most creative and funny blogs I ever saw! Sometimes, I feel shy to give my URL thinking what they might say. Though I'm the average in class, there are more instances that I hesitated to recite.

In this case, I learned to trust myself and my talents. Believed in loving my craft and changed for the better. Up to this day, I lived up on that and I still realize how powerful its impact to me.

I know my grades at the end of the 1st Quarter are just initial, they might change with just a snap so, I keep doing my best striving, and searching for more knowledge until the end.....

1. What are the new learnings/dicsoveries that I have learned?

-At first, I'm not interested in making or creating an e-mail address unlike my classmates that 97% of them have one. When they are talking about friendster, I can't relate to them but then, I don't mind having one. Until ma'am told us to make our blogs. There I'm forced to create one and I learned that it's so enjoyable and interesting! Especially when we uploaded our pictures, I had so much fun editing and giving titles! I also discovered that through the blog, I can freely express myself...

2. The problems/challenges that I have encountered?

-Actually, I encountered none. I just had a hard time waiting for my turn to use the computer because, we have limited computer units at school so I have to be patient.

3. Hod did I address these challenges?

-Uhmm... by being patient and by thinking that others must be given a chance to experience visiting their blogs.

4. Moving on I will be a good follower on whatever tasks ma'am will give us and I will improve my writing skills and become a better person through this blog...>6_6<

1. What are the new learnings/discoveries that I have learned?

-In our first lesson, I learned about the success and developments of the Internet. I also realized how popular Beatles was because, when they played for the Queen of England in 1963, they were seen around the world through the Internet. Acronyms before that I do not know their meaning, now I can relate and define them. I now know some Internet Services and Tools and its major components and the Search Engines. I also discovereed that when researching, you must put a quotation mark, plus(+), and minus(-) signs, to get a more specific answer.

2. What are the problems/challenges that I have encountered?

-I have a difficulty in researching the appropriate answers to the questions Ma'am Vera Cruz gave us because, the Internet is so broad that it gives so many unrelated answers.

3. How did I address these challenges?

-With our lesson in 'Combining search terms', I put quotation marks on the search terms to have a concise and better answer.

4. Moving on I will do everything to love and learn more about the Internet and many more activities and lessons to come.. =)
