Each and every single School Year our school celebrates the day that it was founded which is around the month of march. This year we celebrated our school's 123rd foundation day celebration on March 21 and I can tell it was a handful. Each year all students of our school would practice dances for the annual field demo, and this year our grade level got American Pop Culture for Girls, and Mexico for the boys. Around early march we started to practice for the annual field demo performance which is also a competition. During practice it was pretty difficult to move around especially because It was so hot. But we were still able to push through. During the actual day of our foundation day celebration we had a parade and after we got back in the school we stayed in the field to wait for our classmate who's the Queen for this year. After which we then went back to our classroom to eat and we went to perform. During the performance I kind of enjoyed it given that I was with a lot of...

  I can't believe it I'm finally completing my Junior High School (JHS) journey this year. It's been an entire rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs, well mostly downs. But after this entire School Year I'm finally writing my very last reflection blog. To be honest, nothing much happened this quarter. We were taught how to create our own web page using Microsoft Frontpage which is mainly used for beginner coders. I was able to understand the lessons pretty quickly, thanks to our amazing teacher and also to our practice teacher Ma'am Charleen. They taught us so many things we never knew about creating your own web page using Ms Frontpage. With their guidance we were able to make a web page by our very own. However I was struggling to navigate Ms Frontpage at first but whenever I couldn't find the right tools I would ask Ma'am Charleen for help and she's more than happy to guide me. Because of her patience and dedication in teaching us I was able to fin...

If I'm being honest I've always tried to avoid questions regarding my plans in the future or how I see myself in the future 15 years from now or so. Most probably because I can't see myself in the future, I can never seem to visualise what I'll be doing or what I've achieved. But if ever I'm still here by then, I'd hope that I have achieved my dreams and ambitions in life.  I'm hoping that by then I'll be the person who I want to be, someone who pushes through the challenges that she faces whilst also achieving her dreams. Someone who is holding onto the dreams that she hasn't achieved yet in hopes that one day she'd be able to reach them. If by the things I see from now I'd hopefully land a secure job that provides me with a decent amount of money whilst also being something that I can enjoy doing. Hopefully by then again, I'd be who I want myself to become. A successful person who recognises where she came from. References: https://...

  For years and maybe decades women have been struggling with countless battles, constantly struggling to fight for their rights or to fight any problem that they encounter. Most women are even struggling to speak their minds up because of such beliefs that women are powerless against all or any person they face. But it's time for us to finally recognise the hardships and the battles that these women go through. Yes, we do have all our own battles, and we've all experienced discrimination from time to time. However this shouldn't be the reason for us to start discriminating and competing with each gender on who has the most celebrations that recognises their hardships and battles. We all have our time and we need to wait for our month, like they say you can celebrate with the birthday celebrant but you can't blow the candles for them. Women's month isn't only about women, it's celebrating all WOMEN. It's not about competition or who can celebrate or not...

 Imagine one entire festival that is celebrated by all citizens in a province, a festival that brings all of their cultures and traditions to become one for this very moment. Here in Ilocos such festivities are held. Kannawidan Festival or is now known as Ilocos Sur Festival is an annual occasion that is celebrated by all citizens across Ilocos. It is held every year starting from the date February 28 until February 14. What a day to celebrate valentine's day, am I right? Each year, the same date and in the same place festival is opened. But other than the festival opening it also people from different municipalities all across Ilocos to reconnect to their roots. It also serves as a way for people to let modernization and 'ancient' tradition to collide in order to create a much more engaging, fun, and educational festival for all ages and culture to celebrate and experience. In between these dates the old broken bond from different people is pieced back together through thi...
