True Meaning of Christmas

The most awaited season of the year is the Christmas season. It is the time for us to celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

Do you know the real essence of Christmas? Let’s think of what real Christmas is. Jesus Christ was born on the 25^th day of December. We celebrate it in many ways. Some people don’t even know the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas for them is time for receiving gifts. It is the time for them to have much food to eat. It is the time for them to have their caroling to their ninongs and ninangs. And the time for them to have their Christmas decors and Christmas trees in their houses. But are these the true spirit of Christmas? For me the real meaning of is sharing. Sharing what you have to others. Give love to others and your love to your family. Also forgive those people who committed sin to you. What matters most is you have your family during Christmas day.

Don’t forget what Christmas is for. Christmas is the time for sharing and loving.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND AFESTIVE NEW YEAR!!!

Blessing in Disguise

The prestigious 8^th STEP development and competition was held at Mangaldan National High School, Mangaldan, Pangasinan on November 22-25, 2009. Different skills of many students came from different division have shown and competed in this important event. In any competition, there are winners and also non-winners.

Because of this competition, I have gained new friends and now I am more confident than before. Let me tell to you my experiences from first day up to the last day that we were in pangasinan. On the 1^st day, after we have just arrived, we attended the opening program at their gymnasium. At night we spent our time by playing cards and playstation portable. The second day in the morning, we have to buy some materials in building up our bazaar. My new friends and I went to their market. We took a long time in looking for it. After we have already bought all the materials, we went to their church, park and their municipal hall. On the third day, the day that I have waiting for, I will be competing in the cocktail mixing. I felt a little bit pressure and nervous during the competition. My coach and my teammate told me that I’m on the top three because of my good performance. In the afternoon, we went to CSI Lucao to have fun. We enjoyed playing at World of Fun and we have our dinner at Shakey’s for free! And for the last day, the awarding day for the winners, I am very confident that I’m on the second place. But during the awarding my name wasn’t called. We were shoked. I was very disappointed of what have happened. I will now stop here its too long for me to tell you all my experiences there.

Even though I’m not the winner, in my own way still I’m champion.
