Being a student is one of the happiest days of our existence. We came to face new things, learn different lessons and solve problems. But being an ICT student is much better than just being a student.
          It's been my fourth year of being an ICT student. Before I am not loving it for I am afraid that I could not follow the diiferent lessons. Before, I thought it was a very hard subject but when I came to realize of it, this subject is an interesting one. Everyday I am thinking of what would be the topic for this day. Because everyday in the ICT class, every lesson is good and very interesting. But what does it  take to be an ICT student? Well, it can bring more advantage to me other than being in the regular TLE subject. In here, I learned how to make web designs and HTML documents. It became easier and more efficient for me in using the computer. I became more knowledgeable about the different things related in computer. It really takes a lot to be an ICT student. Sometimes you have to sacrifice some of your time to make and accomplish the different projects and activities. But then, this sacrifice would not have a less meaning because of the fun enjoyment the subject is bringing.
          I am grateful that I am a one of the students having an ICT classes. I will not forget all of the things I learned during my stay in this class because it really can contribute a lot in building my own career someday and in developing myself .

          When the month of January approaches, one of the most awaited event by the Ilocanos is the celebration of the Kannawidan Festival. This year is the fourth year of this event. Th celebration started by the year 2008, and it is celebrated from January 31 to February 6.
          It has been a tradition for the Ilocanos to celebrate Kannawidan Festival. It is one way of showing the rich  culture and heritage of the province. Another aim of the provincial government is to harness Ilocos Sur's rich historical values and products in order to attract foreign and local tourists and investors. It is being celebrated after the ten-day celebration of the Vigan City Fiesta and the Longganisa Festival. In front of the provincial capitol or in the Plaza Salcedo  is always the main venue of this event. Every year, it takes time for the people of Ilocos Sur to prepare for this occassion. For the stage preparation, it took them days to totally finished it. During  the celebration of Kannawidan Festival, there are different competitions and exhibits. Located in  the left of the provincial capitol is where the products of the different municipalities and cities of Ilocos Sur being placed.  Another main event of this is the Saniata Ti Ylocos, which is a beauty and brain competition. Beautiful ladies from the different provinces of the region showcased their beauties and intelligence. 
          These are just some of the many more events of this festival. Ilocos is such a wonderful place to see. I am very proud that I am a part of it.

          Another grading is over. Time tends to move faster and faster. The graduation day is now approaching and we cant avoid the fact that our journey to high school is almost over. Bye third grading and hello fourth grading.
          Many months had passed and as each day pass by I came to face different challenges and trials which gave me lot of lessons. This grading, I came to know what is html and all the topics related to it. We learned the different tags, and hyperlinks and attributes. This is my first time to encounter all of these and I am very glad that it can be a great help for me someday and somehow. However, I am loving now this topic and also the subject.
Also there are some problems I encountered but I was able to face it with integrity  and pride and also with the help of those people who are much concerned about me. Aside from all of these, nothing had happen unusual this grading period.
          I know there are only few days left of my stay in the school but I'll promise to it that I will do my best if not to make my grade higher is to maintain it not only in this subject but all concerned matters. I will spend my remaining days to bring joy, hope and even inspirations to everyone.

          Another fresh new year is here. Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear,To love and laugh and give. I am again a witness to the unfolding of another year. As I see the setting down of the year 2011, I reflect on the past year and it's lessons, and look forward to the new one, a more prosperous and bountiful year. Will 2012 be my year of good luck, to be more patient and to be healthier individual both in the outside , spiritual and emotional aspects of life?
         When new year comes, it's been our tradition to celebrate it by making different noises as of using the torotots, lighting up the sky with fireworks and firecrackers. When we say new year, it is put in our head the thing new years' resolution. It is the changing of things for the better.

          We are born in this world with our own language. With the particular dialect used in the place of our birth. Her in our province, Ilocos Sur, Iloco was known to be our native language. It is also used in many parts of the region like in Ilocos Norte, La Union and some places in Pangasinan. Even in other regions like Tarlac and Nueva Ecija had Iloco as their mother tongue. However, the number of the people using it now became smaller compared to the past years. But why?
          I think and I believe that one of the reasons why it got fewer is because of the passing of time. We are now living in a highly developed and progressive realm and people used to discover and make things and different gadgets that affects the thinking of human that's why they tend to imitate and mimic the language used in making these things. Another cause is because people don't want to use their language, instead they adopt the language of different places and even in different countries. There are those parents who don't want their children use Iloco so they teach them if not Tagalog is English. There are even those who chose to change some words and make their own own word such as the gays who use the gay lingo, the jejemon and others. It is sad that there are Ilocanos who don't even know Iloco words and how to speak it.
          Now's the time for us to change these wrong doings. We must bring back to our tongue our own language. We must be proud of what we are and we must be proud of our mother tongure

          The year's most celebrated holiday is celebrated on the 25th of December, all over the world. I believe many people are anticipating for this day. The blessed day, though it was not exactly known when Jesus Christ, our savior was born.
          Before, when I heard the word Christmas, it pictures in my mind a happy family, lot of gifts and Santa Claus. But now that I'm matured enough I associate it with it's true meaning which are love, giving and forgiving. Most of the time giving can be even more enjoyable. The whole idea of finding that perfect gift, making someone smile, and him or her realizing that you put that much thought into just one gift is just one way which Christmas brings happiness to everyone.
          It is better to give than to receive, this is what Christmas wanted us to put in our hearts and minds. Not only when it's Christmas that we should give, if possible we should do it when when have the will. Everyday, we must show our love with our families, friends, God, and everyone around us for it is the true meaning and spirit of Christmas. We should not think only about the gifts and material things which we are to receive on Christmas, rather we must learn to love, to give, to forgive and apply all these things in our daily living.
          MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
