New Year, Better Me

     

Time flies so fast. If we are to think, it was just like yesterday that we welcomed 2014 but now we have welcomed 2011. It's just like we entered a new year with just a blink of an eye.
If we go through the meaning of new year many of us think of new life, new beginning, new attitude and everything new. It's the time for us to improve our lives and of course for better.
If I were to reminisce myself wit my 2014 life, I can't help but cry. This was a very challenging year for me. Many challenges came along my way. I didn't concentrate well on my studies . During my 2014 life, I have lost important persons in my life and at the same time I gained. I have realized that I can still find better friends outside the world I used to be and thank God I have found them. Last year also, I have hurt many people. But now that a new year arises again, I would like to improve myself. I would be a better person I can be. I would be learning from the mistakes I've done in the past. But I won't forget it because even though much of it is sadness and sorrows, I'll make them as an inspiration to move on and to be a stronger person. I'll be more serious in my studies and be a more responsible person.
Maybe I'll change a lot this year but i will never change as the person they used to see and be with.

Third Grading Challenge

Third Grading is nearly coming to an end. We were about to enter the Last Grading Period. But let me reminisce my third grading life.
This grading was quite hard. We were assigned to do a very challenging task which is to make our own Frontpage regarding Vigan City. Honestly I'm not a good artist nor a good designer nor a computer expert, so I was hard up in making one. But because our teacher fed us enough information regarding this, I was able to make one. As usual, we continued posting on our own blogs.
Moving on, I will be looking for a better grading this next grading period which is actually our last grading this school year and after that we are about to graduate. And I will do my best so that I would get good grades for the remaining last grading.

THE TRUE ESSENSE OF CHRISTMAS

            THE TRUE ESSENSE OF                                     CHRISTMAS

  Cold breeze of the wind, bright streets with shimmering christmas lights, tall and wonderful christmas trees, lanterns on every house, lots of foods on the table, children caroling- no doubt, its Christmas!
They say that Christmas is for the children. Well, maybe its true. But what really is Christmas? We all know that christmas is the birth of our savior Jesus Christ and we are celebrating it on the 25th day of December every year. Gift-giving, christmas parties, family reunion, caroling are only some scenarios during christmas. In addition, during christmas we all want new things- new shoes, new clothes, new bag and everything new. We all want that christmas would be special that we buy expensive christmas decors and serve a lot of delicious foods on the table.
But can we say that christmas is complete when we do all these things? And is this the real essence oh christmas? Of course it's not. What's the sense of those expensive things when the family is not complete? How can you say that you're happy when you haven't forgive you're enemies? Whats the use of having lots of foods on the table when you don't share it to those in need? All of these are useless when we don't know how to love, forgive and share because loving and sharing is the true essence of christmas.We should love each other, forgive our enemies and share what we have.
Let's always celebrate christmas with great joy and happiness. And we should always remember that everyday is christmas day!

MY REFLECTION

   MY TEACHER MY HERO

      Do you know that heroes don't always dress in a superhero suit?A hero can wear anything and they can be as simple as we are.Everyone can be a hero, not necessarily save lives but we can be heroes on our own way.But did you know that heroes are hard to find?I found my hero and she is a teacher.     My teacher is a hero because she teaches me a lot.She is supportive and very sincere.She is very nice and fun to be with.Sometimes she is like my mom because she is someone who can understand me.She is like a star in the night guiding my way not to be lost and became a better person.She always teaches us a good moral lesson.Like a hero,my teacher always helps me whenever i have problems in our subject especially in Math and she will sincerely help me with no doubt.A hero is someone who helps people.Even though I'm in high school now,she will still noticed me and invited me with my friend in their house to eat because for me a hero is someone who doesn't change.I really like my teacher.For me,she is the best teacher that I ever had.When we're acting for the role,when I was elementary and I was too shy that time.She hugged and comforted me and she said that you can do it.For me, she is the only teacher who hugged me just to help me relax. And even though I said I can't and I don't have any experience regarding that contest but still she always encouraged me. That is the best thing that my teacher has.She pulls her students up and helps them rise whenever they are down. I admire her for that. I know that being a teacher is really hard because you will always meet people with different faces and attitudes that can really make you tired. Though that is her case, she always give her leisure time to us just to have conversation and tell some stories with her on many things. She is really a positive person. She is so friendly not only with me but to other's also. She always smile and laugh whenever we have jokes to tell. She may not be like those superheroes on television who have super powers,but for me she is not only a superhero but a friend that can be trusted. She will always be my superhero and she will always be the best teacher in the world no matter what.

         

                                                      MODERN DAY HERO

             When you think of a hero, you probably think of someone such as Superman, or Thor, or Ironman. But have you eveR thought of a more historical hero, such as Odysseus?There are many different historical, and modern day heroes.

In the movie The Avengers, there are many modern day heroes. Modern heroes seem to have more human characteristics rather than more historical characters. Although, if a hero is someone without superpowers, then historical and modern heroes  have the same characteristics, unless they are immortal. Modern day heroes journeys are involved more in everyday life. Instead of going on an actual "journey" they are taking a smaller journey, defeating one thing in their city or town. Or, they also could be going on a journey of defeating many villains, or other characters to eventually reach the end of their journey where they defeat an ultimate villain, or bad guy. Modern day heroes are also always saving humans on scene, instead of going somewhere, or on a journey to defeat someone or something that will later help people. Instead, they stop the fight or crime at the scene. Also, mode day heroes fight for their cites or suburbs, as oppose to historical heroes who normally fight for their countries. Modern day heroes also have to face the challenges of guns, better weaponry, and more experienced fighters. 

In the book The Odyssey, about the hero Odysseus, we meet an older, more historical hero. Odysseus journey is more of an actual journey, away from everyone else in life. While on these journeys, they are saving their people from disaster back at home. Instead of fighting for just a city or a small area like modern day heroes, more historical heroes fight for their countries, or a wide area of people. Heroes during the more historical time period also did not have to worry about guns, or bombs, or any more advanced weapons or destruction tools that we have today. Back during these times, heroes just needed to be good fighters.

Historical and modern day heroes have many differences, but also have some similarities. Both of these types of heroes, sacrifice their lives for the sake of other people. These heroes both also "save the day" and save the people for whom they are fighting for from havoc and chaos. Although, these heroes can both be defeated by someone or something sometimes. They do not always "save the day" or win the battles the fight in. These two heroes are always fighting for their people, or their race, to protect them from danger. 

Modern day heroes and historical heroes are alike in many ways, and different in many ways. They both fight for their people, save the world, but also face struggle and defeat. These heroes are the ones who shape or look at what a "hero" is. Whether they are in modern movies, or historical books, they are always alike, and different.
