Christmas in our hearts

     'Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the streets'. As these lines go, there is only one thing that come into our mind, CHRISTMAS. But what is Christmas by the way? Why is it very special to us?

     Christmas is the time of the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ on a simple manger in a stable in Bethlehem. It may not be a 'king's bed' but three magis approached the newborn child, alongside with Mary and Joseph to give their offerings to the messiah.This shows that no matter how simple things show, they are also special in other ways.

     During Christmas, we reciever gifts from people whom we know. Big or small, exopensive or cheap, they are all gifts that they gave with all of their hearts, so we must be grateful for them.

     Christmas is not all about those fancy gifts we recieve. It's all about the happiness we impart to other in this season/time, and that is the true essence of Christmas.

New Year, new me

     Every year, I always promise to change for the better. But you know what? Almost nothing changes. I may start the year with something good bu unfortunately, I can't be able to sustain this start. 

     So this year, I am not promising myself that I will be a better person. Instead, I will just try to make my life better, without sacrificing things that I love to do. Actually, it is only days left before a new year will unfold. We will see again hundreds of post on social media about those 'new year, new me' thingies. It maybe good to see but will they make it come rue, maybe just 10% of it. So why not try to make it without telling it to others.

     Approaching a new year means unfolding new memories that we will cherish, new qualities of us which will be discovered. Just remember to change yourself int a better one, not into a worse one.

Equality for EVERYONE

     In every single thing we do, we must observe fairness. We must execute the so called 'equal rights'. Even if you are a girl or a boy, old or young,fat or thin, we all have the same rights on everything. So what can this equal rights give us?

     Equal rights is seen when every single person in a certain place has the same rights whether they are rich or poor. These rights include the right to have proper education, the right to have fair justice, etc. But what is going on today? Is EQUAL RIGHTS being shown by people? Clearly, NO. There is no sign that this equal rights actually exist today. 

     Powerful people intend to obstruct the justice by blinding money-minded law officials with shining bucks, resulting to the tilting of the justice pro to the more powerful ones. And what about the innocent poor people? They are getting punished of the crime they didn't even thought they can do. That's what money can do to people. 

     People nowadays are being 'right-concious'. They all want that everything is fair and square, which must be the real scenario of today. So may we all speak up fo not just for ourse;ves but also for the whole nation, together we promote the equal rights.

Second quarter For the win!

     The second quarter of this school year has been a Basketball game for me. There are lead changes, turnovers, but also there are those momentum blasts. /but why dd I tell so? It's  because of the things that happened to me this quarter. So here is the recap of my second quarter.

     First, I found it hard to balance being a student, an athlete, and a campus journalist at the same time. These three works require a lot of time, especially on the part of being a student, Although I didn't have those 'grade' problems earlier this year, I fear that I will encounter it afterwards. But these challenges are what makes High school life better, right? Life without challenges is like a drink without a taste. It lame and pale. So, I found a way to balance them. TIME MANAGEMENT. That's how I solved my problem. With proper management of my time, I was able to work on them with less hustle.

     Although I faced some challenges, I also had the momentum of my quarter. That is having been selected as a player for the city meet, and qualified for the District Schools Press Conference 2014. Now, I realized that facing hard challenges are not that bad. After triumphing against them, you will taste their sweet prizes. And that's what I experienced. But great things come with greater responsibilities. So, my responsibility for now is to get better on them and at the same time, making my life better.

     This grading period isn't just about these fancy things. It's about discovering the best in me. Now, I've discovered the inner me, a joyful, friendly, and understanding me.

My teacher, my HERO

   

 "My teacher, my hero." This quotation says it all. Teachers, as we see, are not the typical superheroes we see in movies. They might not have those cool superpowers like speed, strength, etc. But they have this very special power, the power to transform the youth into better people.

     Teachers are people who dedicate their lives on educating other people, especially children but almost not having sufficient time for their own children, and even for themselves. Being a teacher requires vast knowledge, you must have a great patience, and also, you must have the passion for it. Without those, you will never succeed in this field.

     As my teacher in Economics say, "Teaching is not a profession. IT is a VOCATION."This explained me why teachers were able to stay happy through the hard times they face great challenges. This alone convinced me that these magnificent people have the guts to change us, the youth, which are referred as the future of the world.

     Teachers may not be perfect people, but I am sure that they are the heroes of our generation. Without them, the youth will not have a bright future waiting for them. So I saute all the teachers out there. HATS OFF TO YOU, Sir/Ma'am.

Making a better world through Sports and Dances

   

      Sports has made a breakthrough to the entire world, being one of the most talked about fields of today. That's why schools including ISNHS launched the Intramurals 2014. This is a three-day event that features the students competing with each other through Sports and Dances.

The event consists of many games, both the professionally-played sports (e.g Basketball, Volleyball), parlor games, and dances. The event started with a parade around the school led by the colors, followed by the marching band, and the athletes. After the parade, they proceed to the gym for the formalities. A ceremonial toss was conducted to formally start the games. On the second day, most of the games were played. Basketball became the main highlight of the day because of the championship game of the roaring Seniors against the cunning Juniors. Despite of the Seniors clinching the championship, the Juniors squad made an impressive game, dominating the early quarters of the game. But the last day was postponed due to the sensational Typhoon Mario, which visited the locality that day. The continuation of the intramurals was conducted for two days during the 3-5 PM of the day. Although the fun was not already there, we still managed to find something for us to have fun.

Intramurals isn't just an event to test who is the best among the rest, it also tests the camaraderie and sportsmanship f every person involved. The result of the said activity is something our school can be proud of because the event went on smoothly and peacefully, which is a great achievement. And most importantly, it gave the students a chance to have fun even for just a short period of time.

Science in Action!

     Science had made this world change through the years by its technological advancements. From the invention of touch screen smart phones, to the invention of other recent machines. Science has made the solar energy be transformed to a power to supply lights to houses.


This month of September, Science club have officially launched the Science month celebration with the theme "." Which is related to loading of guns with bullets, which plays an important role on the theme. By loading ourselves with the required knowledge, we are packing ourselves with the most powerful weapon, knowledge. With this knowledge, we can soar high to reach our respective goals.


For me, as an individual, I have a simple yet meaningful goal in life, that is to finish my studies, help my parents and live my own life. With the help of Science, I can make my life easier through connecting people through phones, searching desired items on the internet, and many more.
