Change

                                           Change
            Change is something that is constantly occurring in our lives. Not a single moment goes by when everything in our lives will remain consistent. In fact we need to be aware that change is something that will not change.
             Sometimes we need to make choices, and I choose change for the better. This past few days, I have been thinking. I’m not a kid anymore. I am growing up and I need to accept that things are changing and I can’t do anything to stop those changes. And so I decided to grow up. Since first year until now, I know I’m still childish. I want that to change because years from now I’ll be in college. I have to face it with my eyes open and my mind build up. I need to be more responsible , if I want to really finish my studies.
             I also want to make a change in my society. And I know I can change it for the better. I maybe just a student but I know I can make a change. I can join the activities that will help improve the cleanliness of our town.
            I know I can also change my nation. Computers and internet are good things to change our nation. I maybe just one but one is all it takes to start change. I can post activities and information’s that will hopefully encourage the youth to join me change our nation. Just by studying, I know I can change the Philippines economy. By studying , I can get good grades and I can go to college and finish my studies. I can get a good job and the percentage of those who are jobless will lessened. And who knows? I might be an inspiration to the upcoming generation.
            But the change I really want to do is to change the world. I know I can’t stop the wars between two countries or feed those hungry and homeless kids. But I can change the world in my own little ways. They might say that I can’ change the world because I’m too young but I won’t stand here and be the target of temptations. Drugs and early parenthood is the main problem of teens now. It’s a struggle not to be involved with drugs and stuff. But I know  I won’t be one of those guys who don’t care about their future. I think by not being like them any good , I can also tell my fellow teens that we can help change the world by giving love to each and everyone. One’s love alone can change things for the better.
         Changes can happen everyday and anywhere. But we need to see to it that those changes are for the better. And if they’re not, the we have to make it to be from the better.

What christmas means to me

        Every year we celebrate Christmas but I doubt we know what Christmas really means. When I was a youngerwhen Christmas comes, I'll be so excited because I'll be recieving gifts and there will be lots of lights in the streets and food on our table. That's when I thought that Christmas is just about recieving gifts, seeing lights on trees and having plenty of food in the table.
        But as I mature, I learned that Christmas is not just about material things. Last year, I had the worst Christmas ever. My parents were fighthing that every Christmas eve. I thougt it was just a misunderstanding and that they would give that up for us to spend Christmas together. It turned out that they didn't, As a result my sisters and I celebreted Christmas without our parents. We were all alone during that very special day. And we weren't able to do that because of a slly, pathetic fight. And i realized that Christmas is not about lights. foods and recieving gifts. It's all about aabout love and forgiveness. And we can celebrate Christmas everyday. We just need to give love and to forgive.
         And I promise, I won't be spending this Christmas and all the other Christmas. I will live my remaining days and years with love  and forgiveness in the way I can always feel Christmas.

Reflective Essay

       Making a blog is not really familiar to me. Because it invloves too much typing and I'm used to facebook and other networking sites. Which involves finding friends and looking and at pictures, so this blog making is a new experience  for me in the web. But I do know that blog is like a modernize diary, only it is open to whoever that wan'ts to read it.  Making this blog possible wasn't easy beacause it involves e-mails and passwords which i don't like. But making my blogs were a little easier beause I just need to encode the essays that I made months ago. This blog making is really exciting not just because it is new but  because I know that this experience will help me in expressing my feelings for the past months in my junior life. This experience of blog making is really worth remembering. :)

Our Vales Today

       Life has been quite easy for us, and this is because of the values that we have, we have peae because we respect one another, but some say that those valueshad vanished or is vanishing as time passses by. But  do I really believe that those values that kept my world, our world going for the past thousand years is now gone?
        No, I think our values did not vanished  but instead, it changed, it goes with the flow. We  still respect each other but in other ways, we still work together, vendors and costumers can still work things out. Teachers are still respected by the students , elders are still respected and loved by the younger ones I think ourvalues will never vanish, cause if it did then the streets would be a war zone. There would not be any shelter for the needy. There will be chaos , No one can imagine the world withoit values because our world will always be made by the people living. The love and care that they give to one another and most importantly the values that we treasure from the earlier years.
         So, never be worried about what you hear that values had vanished,as you always remember that our life is made by the values that we have and life and values will go up and down together.
