My much awaited Graduation

Graduation for me is the beginning and the end. Beginning because it's the start of the new journey in a higher level of education. The end because I will now finish my secondary education. After four years of excelling much efforts, sacrifices, patience and determination... at last my much awaited graduation will now come to reality.

What I feel for the incoming graduation is a mixture of joy and sadness. I'm very happy because I will now finish high school which I considered one of my fulfillment in life because through this I can go on in the level of achieving my other dreams in life. I'm very happy because the ladder between me and success is becoming nearer. But I feel sad because graduation also means being apart and separated to my beloved friends, classmates, schoolmates and teachers. I will really miss them especially those memories, laughters and tears during those painful and joyful days.But I believe that someday somehow we'll see each other again. Especially the one who is very special in my heart.... I hope our roads are gonna cross again. He'll be the one that I will miss the most and I admit that the most hurting thing about my graduation is that I'll never see him again more often because there's a possibility that he'll be studying in other school. It hurts to be apart and not seeing him because I adore him so much. I can't do anything to stop it from happening. Only I can do is to do what I need to do . I'll prioritize my studies while waiting for him and if we really meant for each other....love will find a way!

Before I forget... let me have the opportunity to acknowledge those people who are a part of my success in my studies. Thanks to my friends, classmates and schoolmates for their helping hand and golden time that they offered to me in times of troubles. Thank you very much to my dynamic teachers for their concerns and sacrifices for teaching us those significant lessons in life that I can use as my weapon in my next journey. And thank you very much to my beloved parents who are very supportive and who are never tired of advising, sermoning and sacrificing for the best of me. And most of all I would like to express my overwhelming gratitude to the ONE who is in control of my life...the ONE who helped me the most during those times that I cannot avail no help. Thank you very much FATHER ALMIGHTY.... I will not be here where I am today without YOU.

I know that to say thank you is not enough to pay for all the good things you did to me. But don't you worry because I will cherish all the memories for the rest of my life and use significantly those lessons that I learned from all of you. It will serve as my weapon and guide in the next level of my education. I am proud to all of you and I will make sure that you'll also become proud of me in the future.

A very Interesting and Challenging Lesson

Video and movie making with the use of Windows Movie Maker???? How amazing, interesting and a little bit challenging. I learned the worthy uses of WMM, it's different parts like the monitor, story board, movie task pane, toolbars, etc. I also learned how to drag the pictures and how to put transitions and effects to the pictures. And also putting a title and lyrics on the video we are making as a group, you just need to click on the Edit Movie of the movie task pane then type what you need to type and click on the add a title on the page below.

WMM is my favorite among all the lessons in ICT because movie making is a challenging and a hard one activity so there's still a room for problems I encountered such as the unavoidable hanging up of our exercises we are doing, the need of more time to research lyrics and to upload pictures and music.

How do I addressed those problems? Through the assistance of our beloved ICT teacher, Mrs. Vera Cruz and with the help of my expert classmates in the field of WMM, nothing is impossible to solve! We have learned and finished it rightfully and successfully. And as the saying goes: Patience is the key to everything and therefore I conclude that without having the patience of doing such activity.... you can never finish it properly.

Moving on....I'll be more patient and inquisitive on seeking more knowledge about WMM because I believe I can use it in the future because of the course I am going to take up. And maybe someday, somehow....I'll be a vatican movie director someday or music composer where WMM is very important tool I can apply. But who knows what lies ahead????

"Dont wanna be a wall flower again!"

"I don't want to be a wallflower again!"---these are the phrases my mind keep on blurting as I was thinking about the Juniors Seniors Promenade. It's a shame thing to admit that I stayed only as a decoration last JS Prom that's why I did not enjoy it and so no one can blame me if I choose not to come. I am just afraid to experience again the disappointment, frustration, self-hurt, and self-pity of knowing that no one is interested or do not like to dance with me, perhaps because of my physical appearance. It's not because I'm a pessimistic person that's why I'm very negative thinker but its really because I know and I can feel its true and I feel bad about it and it also lessen my self-confidence and my self-esteem.

My adviser said that events like that is a way of improving one's social life and I agree with him. If you are going to rate me... I'm really poor in that aspect because I'm a kind of person who prefer to be alone. I don't want to be out of place but I'm aloof. I find JSProm as a waste of time but because of one very special person in my heart , my personal view to it totally changed as one big opportunity to be with him.

Because of him... I have the will to attend in that moment so even how hard it maybe I find ways to be able to come. Even though we are in the state of financial crisis I find ways to have something to wear. Even though I'm not comfortable of coming because I have my first day of menstruation I promise to myself I try my best to come. Although I don't want to experience those hurts again I still need to come for him even my feelings is at stake . That time, I surely decided to attend the event but because of knowing one hurting truth about him, my recent decision absolutely changed. I don't want to go anymore, because I realized I have no reason to go at all. I've just wasted my time dreaming and hoping about him.

Truth wake my sleeping fantasy which really hurts me too deep. Yes... I see those pain as miserably negative but I also learned an important lesson on how to accept reality and handle the pain it causes with courage, strength and determination to stand up. I learned to look at the brightest side of life and get out of my frustration with a new smile of welcome in the in coming hurts of my life which is more severe.
