What does it take to be an ICT student?

ICT can make a students work more accurate as it will tell them if they have made a mistake. Students can use the Internet to research information which is needed for their homework also this means that they are getting a wider range of information. Computers can store more information in a much smaller space, this saves a lot of space for other work and doesn’t take up as much room as they won’t have filling cabinets filled with everyone’s information in. Work is much easier to read, as it is a lot neater also pictures could be added on to make the work look more professional. 
    There are lot of things we learned starting from First to Fourth Grading Period which includes the HTML Tags,Web Design,Photoshop and others. We applied the technical know-how on something by performing activities through this,in all probability we've learned.      
    Being an ICT students is vital for us for it  broaden our knowledge in the computer world and making us an individual computer literate.

Change: It starts with me

Change can be a word that seems like such a great idea when directed toward someone else combined with expectations and results.

Discipline is the most momentous element towards prospect change. If an individual starts, people around would appreciate and cause them to change also. They would be finally influence until it spread to family, community and to the country. Changing for the better may take a long process. Take now the initiative to start.

Be the change you want to see. Remaining on the sideline will achieve nothing, no matter how loud you shout. You have to get in the game; you’re either out or you’re in all the way. Remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, nothing change.

My Dream, My Future

Everyone of us dreams of being something and tries to achieve his goals, everyone has his own resolutions and has something to look up to and to reach.

Seeing yourself getting better in the future is actually a dream. But the question is are you going to let the chance passed by and just dream with your dream? Of course, not. Let’s not just fantasize our dreams instead tread the path towards our dreams. I once dream of becoming a nurse before but then it has change because of their myriad numbers of enrollees and unemployed graduates. My heart whoop to take civil engineering. It is where my interest falls. I wanted to construct sites and most especially to be the designer of my own house someday. It is definitely what my mind imposes. Our dreams are in our hands, we are the ones that can control them and make them real. There's no doubt that there will be times when you feel like giving up , but no don't give up on yourself just stand up and try even if you have to try for a thousand time but keep trying. Take it step by step to pursue: Dream, Believe in your potentials and skills, Commit yourself to the goal and achieve.

Let us set our dreams right in front of our eyes and work for them, and there's no doubt that we'll reach them someday. Just be inspired with the wise words of Henry David Thoreau which goes this way --- “Go confidently with your dreams, live the life you have imagined”.

New Year, New Me

     Day by day, month by month, another year had past, here I am, still enjoying precious life that Almighty God has given and I thank Him for that.

New Year means “regeneration” for me.It is entering into a new spiritual life. Leave the way of living before and live better than before. I’ll not repeat wrong practices in fact I’ve learned something from those experiences. I just simply do good things in life, be who I am, make the best of what I can so that in the end I would have no regrets instead satisfaction will be felt in me. I do cherish life. And in every moment surely I will not trifle away.

Keeping In Mind Our Mother Tongue

          The beauty of communication is not the kind of language used but rather the spirit of the language.

          We understand each other because of the language we used, as well as we misunderstand each other because of the language we used.

          To make things easier for us to understand each other is to keep in mind our mother tongue – ILOCO. The use of Iloco as our communication tool will bridge any gap among Ilocanos. We have to make Iloco as our tool to reach out people, to spread the good news, to tell good stories and to share success stories. The purpose of communication is to deliver the message we want to send to other people. So the best way to attain this purpose is to use our mother tongue – ILOCO – the medium we are born with and the medium we are comfortable with.

Essence of Christmas

According to the Catholic Church, Christmas symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas brings joy to the Christian world because it reminds of the coming of the Savior.

Christmas is a celebration of hope because Jesus Christ come to join his people and was a living inspiration to the less fortunate and the sick. Christmas is not the gifts that are give and receive but the love that Jesus has given. For what the material things can give is just a temporary fleeting emotion but the thing that Jesus has given and will give is a something permanent and of the greatest and highest value – His love to all of us.
