PT: A Test in my Knowledge!

The greatest suffering given to students has come... Our periodical test was given last January 19-20 of this year. Though our test were moved to the said date we still took the exams unprepared. I myself don't even know why. Maybe it is because of the long Christmas break in between the 3rd Grading. At the first day, January 19, 2009, we took our exams in English, Science, Filipino and Values. As expected, we had a hard time specially in our Physics. The following day was more brain cracking than the recent test. Most of our subject were difficult, they were A.P., Math, MAPEH, and TLE. During these two days, I really felt the tension which I know is an effect to my wrong doing which is not reviewing and not preparing for our test. I also admit that during this span of time I asked the help of my classmates who have greater knowledge in the lesson than I. Sadly, this quarter ended with me having low scores in the last concluded examination. This is all because of my laziness and carelessness in my studies.

Mental Block, tension, panic, and ignorance about our exams were the problems that I have encountered which in turn hindered me to get high grades instead I got very low grades in the test. I admit its my fault, I didn't review much like I do to the past exams. I didn't take my studies seriously! So this is what happened, once I received my test paper and saw the question I really know that time that I will have low grades.

Though shameful to admit, I asked some of the question that I can't answer to my classmates. Even though I know it's wrong I still did it and it disturbs my conscience until now. I really regret that time....=c

Moving on I will now take my studies seriously specially that this is my last quarter, our last quarter, to prove that we are worthy to be included in the first section in the regular class... This is the last quarter thus I need to give it my best blow.

Exer 8-10: A test in My Patience

Different font styles, colors and sizes, pictures and links, these are only some of the things that attract you most upon seeing some websites. And as young technicians, as they claim us to be, we were taught on how to do these on our HTML Files. On our Exer8, Exer1 was edited. We were asked to choose words in which we will apply the proper attributes to change the color, font style or size of the text. The next exercise introduced us the proper way to attach a certain picture, this time it is no longer used as a background like in the previous exercise. Again Exer1 was edited and proper attributes were used to attach a picture in the file. We inserted 3 pictures for this exercise. The last exercise done in this quarter was making links. For me, this is the hardest since our computer didn't function well in those times. in the said exercise Exer9 was edited by adding links to the title which is 'Computer Education', to the 3pictures present in the previous exercise and to the word 'Computer Software'- of course with the use again of proper attributes.

In making the said exercises no much problems occurred so I can say I was able to do it with ease and confidence but Exer10 was different! Maybe because of the limited time, I wasn't able to accomplish it right away. I also didn't have the copy of the instructions so whenever I always try to make it ignorance regarding the topic hinders me. Another problem is our computer! I don't know why but it still doesn't work even though mt attributes were correct! Whew! Exer10 really tested my patience.

At last the day came that my Exer10 was fully finished. Thanks to the help of Elaine who provided the instructions which were written in her notebook and of course to my group mates who assisted me in doing it. My Exer10 wouldn't have been accomplished without the help of you guys. THANK YOU!

Moving on I will always keep in mind all these learning I have acquired specially our days of examination is fastly approaching. I know I will be able to use these knowledge in my tertiary level so I will treasure it and of course will continuously add more new learning to it. I will also be forever grateful to the people who made my Exer8, Exer9 and Exer10 a success!

Christmas-A sense of Responsibility

Sharing and giving without seeking anything in return. This is the true meaning of Christmas as they say and I believe in that, I always did but my last Christmas, even the my whole vacation, was really different. Not sharing and giving were the values that stand-out the most for me in this season, instead the sense of responsibility! Through out the vacation, I was reminded of my responsibility to our house, my responsibility to my group mates, my responsibility to my relatives and family as a whole, and of course my responsibility to our brother and sisters who are less fortunate that us.

During our vacation, our relatives all came here to our house to celebrate Christmas with us. Since we were a bunch of people, many tasks were supposed to be done to maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of our house. This was my first reminded responsibility to our house.

As the days of our vacation passed, the eagerness of my elder relatives to go around Vigan and buy souvenir items went strong so they often went out and as the eldest I was assigned to take care of my younger cousins then again another responsibility was given to me - "be responsible for your relatives specially my younger cousins.

Before our vacation started our teacher let us a project, one night I remembered. The Centennial Book was with me so I started summarizing the history of our school. That time I was not able to sleep tightly maybe because my conscience know I still have a responsibility to take care off before sleeping - my responsibility to my group mates.

At last, Christmas Eve came we happily sung the Happy Birthday sung for Jesus then blew the candles. This was already a tradition in the family. After that we greeted each one a Merry Christmas then ate the food which were prepared by me and my mother. What a beautiful scene that was, the whole family laughing and were happily eating their foods.

The celebration has ended, most were sleeping if not were really sleepy when an indigent family came to our house and asked for some foods to eat that Christmas day. Immediately, pity surrounded, I gave much food I can offer. That time I remembered I have the responsibility to at least lessen the burden our fellow countrymen are bearing. This is the most important responsibility given to us - my responsibility to our brothers and sisters that are less fortunate than us.

This was my Christmas vacation! Though stressed in times, still it is a worth remembering experience!!!
