Farewell... farewell... farewell...

One quarter is over. Challenges, experiences and memories is here again. What are the challenges and problems that you encountered during your studies in the 3rd quarter of our school??? What is the subject that makes to be hardworking??? What is the hardest subject that you know that makes your brain hard to think??? What is the easiest subject that you know that makes your brain easy to think???

We, the IV Mabini students most of the times are very noisy during classes, during vacant periods and in between periods. Some of the teachers near our classroom are getting angry with us because of our ear- destroying noise of our section. WE are also scolded by our school librarian because of our noise, not just a noise but a combination made by our tongue, made by guitars, made by shouts, etc. This problem are hard for us to solve because some of us in our section, being noisy is nature to us.

The 2nd biggest problem that I have encountered are some of my classmates do not have their self discipline. Discipline acts a very important role in our classroom. But since my classmates do not have their discipline, most of the times, our room is not peaceful.

The hardest subject that I have ever met during my 1st year life until now is the SCIENCE. This subject is a combination of computations, analizations, etc. Sometimes I do not understand what our lesson is.But since our teacher is good, I now fully understand what our lesson all about and this subject makes me to be hardworking student.

Technology and Livelihood Education or ICT is the easiest subject that I have ever encountered during my 3rd quarter in our school. I made this so easy blogging is popular to me. I made use this very easy because I have my own PC personal computer in our house. This PC makes a many advantages to our lesson in T.L.E. IV.

Essence of Christmas

If personal faith plays a major role in a family's life, their observance of Jesus's birthday will reflect their beliefs. But all too often, we see people drifting away from celebrating Christmas for its true meaning.

Whether through indifference, ignorance or deception, culture is heading down the path of least resistance ― away from God and all that is sacred.

The prevailing attitude today, even in some churches, is that Christmas is secular rather than religious. There is frequently more interest in exchanging gifts than in sharing the good news of this special day.

Many people prefer the more ``tolerant'' word holiday as a substitute for Christmas. But believers should not think this way. As Christ-followers who realize that our eternal future is in the Savior's hand, we need to know and demonstrate the difference between a holiday and a holy day.

Christmas is a commemoration of the historic moment when God became man in order to live among us. The creator and sustainer of life died on a cross so that we could live sinless before the Father.

If we have experienced the amazing grace of Jesus Christ, we certainly have cause to celebrate. And we have reason to share our faith with as many people as possible ― in that way, their joy on this day can be as full and rich as our own.

We cannot allow ourselves to drift into a materialistic view of Christmas along with the rest of the world. In a month of colored lights and glowing candles, we should be burning brighter than ever as His lights to the world.
