Dreams. These are the things we hope to achieve, the person as we hope to become. These dreams of ours are what drive us to achieve what we want in life. Dreams are kinda like the schematics, the paths, the guides that can make our futures brighter. Your dreams can make your future. Our dreams can guide us into making our futures a successful and a wonderful one. Let's say that you want be a doctor. You're dreaming of being a doctor, so you're gonna do your best to be a doctor. You're gonna try to get high grades and to be excellent in school, just so that you can be a doctor. You're gonna do everything it takes to be a doctor, and you're not gonna give up until you reach your dream. See what I mean? Your dreams can make your future. Think about this. Dreaming is already similar to planning to your future. You're already planning what you want to be, when you want to be that, why you want to be that. Like I've stated earlier, dreams are your blueprin...

High School Day; the celebration of the foundation of our school. This event, for me, is the only one I kinda enjoy, and I actually get to participate fully. The question is, is the High School Day a Yay, or a Nay? This is my insight on this Year's HS Day. This year's HS Day, was, interesting. I'm gonna have to be blunt here and say that this year's HS Day was quite normal. Though he day was uneventful, most of the field demos were fun to watch. So many people complained about this year's rendition, but I cannot complain. I know that they can make next year's event better. It was kind of enjoyable. The happiness that this year gave was just a 7 second smirk. It quickly faded away. Props to the organizers for giving their best, but it can be improved. To be honest, the preparation was more fun than the event itself. For me, the HS Day is not a Nay or a Yay, it is NEUTRAL. it was fun, but there were parts that were not fun. I hope that next year...

It's that time of the year again, where we celebrate the separation of Ilocos Sur and Norte by being merry for the whole festival. This is my insight, on Kannawidan 2019. Kannawidan was super jam-packed this year. I normally don't have an interest IN Kannawidan, but this year's festivities were too good not to miss. Star-studded guests performed, new activities emerge and memorable moments were made. Clearly, they've cranked up the production level up by bringing big names to the table; December Avenue and Unique Salonga, just to name  a few. The quality of events have gotten way higher and way more enjoyable. Tourists and people from other parts of the country even came to see what Kannawidan was all about, and judging by their faces and reactions, they had an amazing time. Props to the Governor and everyone who organized this huge festival. Overall, Kannawidan was a great success this year. This year's Kannawidan was a BIG YAY! Perfect events, perfect star g...

"New Year, New Me." A trend (I like to call it a trend) that circulates the world, the web; basically everywhere whenever the start of a new year comes around. People say that they'll change a part of themselves, but I've noticed that only some people do that change. This is the equivalent of the New Year's Resolution. The only difference of this and the NYR is that a miniscule amount of people keep their "New Year, New Me" promises, while none actually complete their Resolution. I don't hate on this trend, but it's kinda just an excuse for someone to do something productive or to be productive and responsible in general. Now, about my title. Should we only let the New Year change us? Is the New Year the only time we can change ourselves? Why not change yourself now, instead of waiting for the new year to come? I'm sure that the long time frame of waiting will be more than enough for you to change yourself. Again, not saying that I hate N...

Change. 5 letters. A word that is easily pronounced, but is hard to do. Change. To become different. To become something else. Change. Why do people change? How do you change? Change happens, whether we like it or not. It's a never ending cycle in our world. Tomorrow will be different than today. We can resist, but that is a bit like standing in a river and trying to hold back the water – useless. We have a choice to watch change passively happening around us, or to participate and lead it. Changes are taking place on all levels, from simple to complex; whether the minuscule transformations of our brain cells to the political crises unfolding around the world. Some changes we can manage, some we can influence, but realistically, most are outside our control. Change always starts in you. No one can change you but yourself. Unless if you don't change the bad habits you're constantly doing, it's always gonna stay like that. If you want to do something good for yourse...

Ang ating gadgets ay nakakatulong sa maraming bagay. Halos lahat na ng mga tao dito sa mundo ay may sariling gadget. Marami tayong ginagawa gamit ang mga gadget natin, kagaya ng paglalaro, pagnood, pagsaliksik at kung ano-ano pa. Talagang pinadali ng gadgets ang ating buhay. Sa tulong ng teknolohiya at gadgets, halos lahat ay pwede nang magawa sa isang pindot lang. Paano kung gagamitin natin ang ating gadgets sa pakikipagugnayan? Pwede nang magawa yan ngayon. Dahil sa teknolohiya, pwede mo nang makipagugnayan sa kapwa. Mas pinadali na ngayon ang pakikipagugnayan. Imbes na magsulat ka pa ng liham para makipag-usap sa taong malayo sa iyo, pwede mong gamitin ang iyong cellphone para kausapin ang tao. Ang teknolohiya ay nagiging isang daan sa mabuting ugnayan. Hangga't maari, gamitin natin ang ating gadgets para sa mabuti at di para sa masama. Wag nating gamitin ang ating gadgets na sumira ng buhay ng kapwa.

Reading; to look at and understand words, passages, phrases, etc. It's something that you can do at anytime, any place, anyway. It's something that can help you in understanding a plethora of knowledge. It's something that's easy to do, with many benefits, yet we still don't it a lot. "Pagbasa: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan". This is the theme of this year's English Month. It focuses on reading and how it is a key to a wonderful future. I am not of reading, and to be honest, I don't do a lot. I kinda regret not reading a lot. If I read, it's probably for a Leisure Reading Report or I'm just very interested in that particular article/magazine/book etc. Other than those reasons, I don't read. I don't read a lot but you should. Reading is very helpful. When you need knowledge for something, read. When you need something to do so that you won't get bored, read. When you need something to cheer you up when you're sad or to ta...

The 2nd quarter has just finished and it's time for another reflection. 2nd Quarter was very hectic. I'm not gonna lie, it was hard to keep up. There were times where I wanted to give up, but I still moved forward. I feel very relieved that the 2nd Quarter is over, and I'm glad that I've learned a lot this quarter. Learning about basic web design was great. It's not as challenging as I thought it would be, and I adapted to learning it pretty quickly. I wanted to learn about this a long time ago, I just didn't know where to start. I'm glad that we had this topic for the 2nd quarter. Though it was hard, I got past the 2nd Quarter unscatthed. It was really hard not to give up, but I did it. Hopefully, 3rd Quarter's gonna be a bit easier.

Accentuating Potentials, Activating Technological Advancements. This is the theme for this year's Science Month. They call it "Wavefront." It is quite often that we see technology. We even own such pieces ourselves, like our phones, laptops, etc. We all use these tech for different things, but what if I told you that we can use these tech to improve? We all have the power to enhance ourselves using tech. It's no secret that we can. We just don't realize that. Potential can be accentuated by activating technological advancements. By using tech, we can sharpen our potentials and make them tapped. Tech has given a big opportunity to improve ourselves, the question is, are you taking it?

"Coming together with those furthest behind build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity" Rights; perhaps one of the most controversial topics that we have ever had. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is important to recall the fundamental connection between extreme poverty and human rights, and that people living in poverty are disproportionately affected by many human rights violations. This year, the UN is looking to put a stop to global poverty. When I was reading about the theme on the website, it was quite interesting. Mr. Joseph Wresinski is one of the few people who has connected human rights and poverty. He appealed to the Human Rights Commission to examine the question of extreme poverty and human rights and eloquently captured the connection between human rights and extreme poverty with this :  “Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme pove...

Teachers' Day, the day where we make our beloved teachers feel truly special. Don't they deserve it, after everything they've done to former students and to us? Of course. Every human, including teachers, deserve happiness. But why do we need to show them appreciation? Isn't listening to what they say and saying "goodbye and thank you ma'am/sir" enough? Well, it's up to you. If you think that's enough, then I won't force you to do anything. For me, it's far from enough. Teachers need to be treated like they're royalty. They're really special. Imagine if teachers didn't exist. If teachers didn't exist, then other jobs would never exist too. Teachers are the reasons why there are architects, scientists, doctors, lawyers and every other important job out there. Yes, teachers are very strict and hard on you, but that's for your own good. Like or hate it, you have to realize that almost everything they're doing are no...

Resiliency; the ability to overcome whilst being battered and bruised. It can be a person, or a whole nation. Philippines; a disaster-prone country. The nation where storms, typhoons, El Nino, La Nina and Eruptions happen often. Not every disaster can be predicted, not every disaster can be prepared. We filipinos are known for our resiliency after these disasters. Whether we are damaged, we always get back up and continue. The Philippines is situated in the PRoF, the Pacific Ring of Fire, where most, maybe all countries situated there are vulnerable to volcano eruptions, (hence why Fire is in the name) and these volcanoes are the cause of many disasters. A recent eruption happened at Albay, when the Mayon Volcano unexpectedly erupted. Many people lost their houses, their loved ones, everyone and everything, but they got back up. They stood up with their feet and smiled, and they said "everything will be fine." We are also part a tropical cyclone basin, meaning we get rai...

The president has released another bombardment of statements in the form of the SONA, The State of The Nation Address. Once again, I am here to share my thoughts and opinions on what our dear president has said during the said event. There are a lot of good points that he has said and I would just like to give a reaction. The biggest statement that he has said that everyone is talking about is "Your concern is human rights, my concern is human lives." Now, what he said was right and wrong. Right in the sense that he actually cares about human lives but wrong in the sense that he doesn't care about human rights. He needs to focus on these both, as him actually not giving a damn about human rights is actually damaging his and the country's reputation. The most ear-catching moment was when I heard that he wants to create a new department, called the Department of Disaster Management, which is for me, an amazing idea. Think of this, a department that actuallt helps out ...

"Why do need to plant fruits and vegetables? We already have tons of fast food chains, lots of processed food being made everyday...why do we need to plant still? It gives us so much nutrients that can help us survive forever!" - a guy I heard. Clearly, processed foods can't make us survive. We really can't live on if you keep eating processed foods, but, by eating AND planting fruits and vegetables, we can live longer. But why do we need to? Well, one reason is obviously, processed foods are UNHEALTHY.  We can't just eat processed foods everyday or else we'll become unhealthy. Another reason is that we can actually exercise while planting. It's a good workout. That's probably why farmers are so fit, because they plant all the time and get a good workout. A lot of filipinos are very unfit. They're probably like that because they eat a lot and they don't move a lot. They become lazy and sluggish, and they become large. We don't really ...

Joash Ethan Berona Don Lorenzo Querobin Caoayan, Ilocos Sur 2702 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Office of The President Mr President,               Greetings sir, in the name of the Lord! I am a student, writing you a letter to say thank you. The past years of you being the President of this country has been a tremendous help to us. You have controlled and fixed a lot of major problems and situations and I commend you for that.        You are one of the people in my life that I look up to. You are such an inspiration to us and one day, I hope to be like you someday. Though you have a lot of bad traits, you have a lot of good ones too. I commend you for the things that you have done for us and though a lot of people hate what you are doing, I support it, because I think that what you are doing for the sake of us will be a benefit to the country. You have provided as a shield, per say, for us to be protected...

Independence Day, Araw ng Kalayaan, they look different, but have only one meaning: the celebration of our freedom from the invaders of our country. But why do we celebrate it? Is it because it's a non-working holiday? Is it because we are free to do whatever we want on that day? Or is it because of something much larger, much more important than these things? What is independence? Independence is  a condition of a nation, country, or state in which its residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over the territory. It's about freedom. Freedom from everything. (http://firsttimetravels.com/taal-city-birthplace-of-the-maker-of-the-first-philippine-flag/) When this question was asked, I was left thinking about something that I didn't know I would be thinking of. I've been celebrating Independence Day since I was a little kid, but up to now, I still don't know why we celebrate it. I don't know why ...
