We Could Leave The Christmas Lights Up Till January

 December 21st was the start of the Christmas break. My relatives from Zambales and Manila came home to celebrate Christmas and New Year with us. I was beyond excited because I got to see my closest cousins again. I spent my Christmas break with them, waking up earlier than I used to usually wake up during weekends in order to hang out with them.

We also went to visit the Christmas Onederland. It was beautiful, and they also gave us sweets right after taking pictures with the characters. On December 24, my cousins and I went to Xentro Mall to buy presents for everyone.  It was really fun. We got home a little late so we ate dinner and decided to give our gifts to everyone. We then took out the speaker and made Brielle, our 4-year-old little cousin sing and dance, it was very cute and funny to see her sing and dance which made us all erupt in laughter.




 At Christmas, we went to Hidden Garden to eat lunch and give our gifts to our cousins. During Christmas break, Bryn, Vhouvit (my cousins), and I watched clips of impractical jokers, making us laugh our brains off. 



At 31, we prepared dishes such as shanghai, arroz caldo, coffee jelly, cathedral window, and lumpianada. Later that night, we went to the Hidden Garden and had dinner. We played a game where we guessed where the specific drink was placed behind the box, and after three tries, I won one thousand pesos. Our Tito then threw coins at us and I got hit in the lip, our hands were very dirty from collecting coins on the floor, our nails were chipped, and my cousin’s white shirt got imprinted with coin dirt. It was really fun. Bryn and I also decided to do karaoke, my voice cracked but no one noticed. 

As Christmas break ended, my cousins went back to Zambales which left a bittersweet mark on me. I love my cousins so much and I’m planning on going back to Zambales after this school year ends.

You Can't Spell Awesome Without Me!

          Dear Reader, let me tell you some things about myself. I’m Hannah, a fifteen-year-old girl, living in Bulala, Vigan City. Like many teenagers, I’m still finding more things about myself. I still can’t believe that this is my last year as a junior high school student. It feels like I just graduated from elementary, and three more quarters from now, I’m going to hopefully graduate junior high school as a special science class student. Time really does fly by fast. I’m a girl who loves to listen to music. I find music relaxing and soothing to my ears and mind. Oh, and I also play the guitar and ukulele. Sometimes, I just randomly grab the guitar or uke and randomly sing some song in my room. Apart from loving music, I also have a small passion for reading and writing. My favorite book is called ‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’, written by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I like making up fictional stories and jotting them down whenever I have a story idea ...

                 Time flies by really swiftly. Another 2nd quarter is done, and I have learned plenty of things in ICT. Making HTML Files in Notepad has been an enjoyable experience. The exer activities were a lot of fun to encode even though the keyboards we used were stiff. Learning the basic HTML tags and attributes was fun, especially because we were using the computers to make activities 1 up to 20 which were the simple tags to the frames that were a little complicated to understand.                  The major problem that we have encountered during this quarter of the school year was the rushed lessons, not only in ICT but in all subjects due to the continuous suspension of classes caused by the parade of typhoons that occurred. Another problem that I encountered was that my computer station did not really cooperate during the first weeks.         ...

Teachers Makes The Whole Place Shimmer

                                Teachers are the cornerstone of the society, shaping the minds of future generations. They are the reasons why we have professionals today. Teachers are the important building blocks of society, ensuring that every student has been taught a lesson. A lesson that is not only for academics but life lessons that we, as students will never forget. And with that, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of the teachers who teach with love and patience. Dearest mentors, thank you for your never-ending support and wisdom that you have enriched us with. October is your month, and I would like to express my gratitude for all of your hard work in providing us with the knowledge that we need for our future. Thank you to the teachers who have shaped us into a better person. When we doubt ourselves, you encourage us to evolve our weaknesses into our greatest stre...
