A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE????
Before, we were given a choice whether we will take movie maker or making lay out as our lesson. Well, the majority of our class chose movie maker because they said it is easier than the other.
At first, I was only taking movie maker for granted but as we started making one, I found it really hard. The truth is, I don’t have any experience in making a movie before so I was really hard up. I don’t even know what a timeline or a storyboard is at that time so I’m really acting like an ignorant. But thanks to my friend Aira, I learned how to put pictures and music to my movie but then there’s still a problem. Well, it’s not just placing pictures as many as you want to make a movie but you must also regard the timing of every picture to the music. It takes me a lot of time and it really is hard. I even thought that I wouldn’t be able to finish a movie in just a week because there are lots of timings to do and the pictures must also be connected to the music and I’m just a first timer on this. But even it’s hard, I still enjoyed making one because it’s getting more and more interesting for me as I discover how to add transitions, effects and credits in the movie. The only terrible thing I’ve experienced in making my movie is when the computer I’m working with hanged and I wasn’t able to save the movie I’ve done. I was really upset that time even though it wasn’t almost finish yet but I still exerted some efforts for that movie. Well, to cheer myself up, I just said to me, “that’s life.” (harhar)
As I moved on, I will improve in making a movie and I’ll be faster in making one I’ll make sure that the computer I’m working with won’t hang so that my effort won’t be wasted. (haha)

UNEXPECTED ENJOYMENT
Back when I was still a junior, I was so excited about our JS prom. I was looking forward to it and I prepared for it big time. But now that I’m a senior, prom is nothing but a simple occasion for me.
Before the promenade, we practice so hard for the cotillion and honestly, it’s only the reason why I have to prepare myself for the prom. I’ve planned before that I’ll just wear a simple dress for the prom but since I’m in the cotillion, I have to rent a gown and thanks to Mrs. Parel, we were discounted. Then, February 13 had finally come and well you can see a lot of gorgeous girls wearing their beautiful gowns around the campus. Actually, the promenade walk was finished when I arrived. I walk straight in our classroom because I feel embarrassed when people look at me especially when my guy saw me. I stayed with him for a moment and it is the happiest moment of the day for me before I went inside the dance hall. The program started and I started to feel uneasy because the gym was so crowded. We didn’t expect that the cotillion would start that early and it was quite unorganized because the music was different from the one we were practicing before but it still went well I guess. After that, the dancing started. Before the prom, I asked my best friend to be my first dance but unexpectedly a junior asked me to dance while Oliver was dancing with Jezreel. It would be rude for me if I reject the guy so I accepted the offer; anyway the guy is cute (harhar). At that time, I started to enjoy myself. In the middle of the occasion, brown out occurred twice because of the overload. At the first brown out, instead of panicking, we laugh and shout and we even take our picture using a camera with flash. The second one, I was in the dance floor and thank God, my partner is a gentleman and he escorted me back to my seat. Then the party continues. I was really having fun at the prom but I have some comments on it. First, it was a little bit unorganized. The gym was so crowded and it’s really hot and it caused our make up to be removed. We can’t move freely because the chairs were tied together. I also have a comment about our snacks. We were not given a drink and we were really thirsty after we ate our hamburgers. Well these are the comments I have for the prom this year. Then we watched the pageant for Mr. and Ms. JS Prom and we cheer for our senior candidates. I enjoyed it especially at the question and answer portion. After choosing who the Mr. and Ms. JS prom, the dancing continues until it came to the last five songs which end the promenade.
After that, we took a lot of pictures together with my classmates, friends and best friends. Well, I’ve never thought I would enjoy the prom this much.

SECOND TO THE LAST
Another heart-pounding test which even make our nose bleed and our head aches. Tests that make us roll our eyes around because of how difficult it is. A test, whether we like it or not, we need to take this third periodical.
I didn’t have any preparation for our third periodical test. Even though I know from the start that our test would be harder than the ones we have taken before, I still didn’t review my notes. And since our schedule of taking the test is on the afternoon, I find time to scan my notes during my free time.
During the test………………..
Well as expected, the questions were very difficult but thanks to my kind-hearted classmates, I was able to answer them all. (harhar!!! you know what I mean). I’m also glad I’ve got to scan my notes before the exam because if I didn’t, I don’t know if I could answer a single question. Well, on the other subjects, I just did my best in answering the questions and wait for the results.
After the test……………
I was able to breathe because another cavalry of my high school life was over and I’m glad it was already second to the last challenge of a student like me. Well I guess my only problems for now are the projects I need to pass.
As I moved on, I’ll be more responsible and I will gain more knowledge. I’ll see to it that on the next periodical test, I will review my notes so that I won’t just be depending on my classmates. (harhar)

CHRISTMAS VACATION: BOREDOM TO HAPPINESS TO EXCITEMENT
Christmas vacation is what most of students have been waiting for. Students were celebrating for it will be a two long weeks of vacation, two weeks of no classes and two weeks of not having school works. But having such vacation for me causes no celebration because I don’t really enjoy staying at home.
I’d rather prefer doing activities, solving problems and having lessons than being stocked in the house, locking myself inside my room watching DVD’s of Twilight and Ouran high, texting, sleeping, eating and waiting for the days to pass by. Yhup!! These are the only things I’ve done during my vacation, these things made me realized that boredom can kill. If only there’s no chore for me to do, maybe I would have slept until the vacation is over. By this, there’s no need for me to miss my special someone, my friends and classmates because every time I sleep, I see the in my dreams. A day passed by and finally Christmas is approaching but still boredom doesn’t leave me, the more I’m getting bored, the more I miss everything in school. Christmas eve, I expected it would be a happy day for me because I’ll be able to experience the family bonding I’ve been longing for but I was disappointed. I was so upset because they don’t even bother to call me inside my room to join the noche buena. So after eating, I just locked myself in my room and open the gifts my friends gave me during our Christmas program. After that, I went to sleep and let Christmas pass then back to my daily routine during the next days. Finally, December 30 in the morning, my cousin invited me to go to Nagsangalan to help our aunt in preparing foods for their fiesta the next day. Though I know I will not do any help, I still went there. We spent the night in my aunt’s house and somehow, I enjoyed staying there. At that time, I started to enjoy my vacation. During the fiesta, I joined my cousins in singing with the videoke and having fun with it. Then we went home and I immediately went to sleep but my aunt wake me up because we’ll go to Vigan and buy some grocery. Then few hours more to end the year 2008, I spent my time texting and having fun. New Year’s Eve is better than Christmas Eve for me. I really have fun during the New Year’s Eve watching beautiful and amazing fireworks display and it’s my favorite part in the celebration. I also enjoyed the media noche with my family and we also did some traditions and it was really great.
After the celebration, I have some resolutions for the year then went back to my daily routine and wait until the vacation is over and I really am very excited to go to school.

TO MY EYES CONTENT
I have learned a lot from our previous lessons in ICT IV just like blogging, making notepads and web designing.
This time, our topic is also connected in web designing. We are going to apply colors and back ground picture to our web. At first, I thought it is hard to make one because I know there will be a lot of process to be made so that I’ll be able to make a colorful and beautiful web site. But I was wrong; I didn’t expect that putting color and back ground picture to a web would be as simple as typing short codes into the notepad of the web. I enjoyed applying different colors and back ground picture to the web page. I was amazed as I see the outcome of it. I never thought that a plain web page would become so colorful and pleasing to the eyes. What I can say about this is nothing but an interesting topic and there’s no sweat in making one.
Well, it’s easy to apply colors and back ground picture to a web page but it still needs improvement so as usual, I will listen to my teacher’s instruction in making a better web page and I’ll also ask my classmates who have further knowledge for their advice so that I’ll be able to improve the outlook of my web page. As I moved on, I’ll be able to make a better web page.

SEMBREAK IS NO SEMBREAK!!!!!
Semestral break is what I’ve been waiting for, not only me of course but also all of the students. Free from assignments, from activities, lessons and other activities in connection to schooling. But I didn’t expect that my sembreak would be busier than my school days.
Before the sembreak, all the THE DOVE staffers have our meeting and we agreed to conduct a seminar about journalism and it will be during our sembreak. Well I thought that my sembreak would no longer be a break for me because almost everyday, I need to go to school even at weekends, the first day of our so called break. As what I’ve said a while a back, I really don’t have a break because I’ve attended the seminar with connection to the children’s day. The seminar was really boring but I really need to attend on this seminar because it is considered as our make-up activity in Economics. Anyway, it is a two day seminar and gratefully I enjoyed the second day of the seminar for I’ve experienced adopting a child. Well its kind a hard to look after a child especially if the kid is naughty or so called “pasaway”. At first we were not able to get his trust and he doesn’t want to be far away from his mom but somehow, at the end we managed to encourage him to play with us. At that time, I even wished that we just give up at the very first time he doesn’t want to go with us because he, as what his mom told us was very naughty. And worst of all, of all my group mates, nobody helped or substitute me on taking care of him so I was really very tired after the program. Oh, anyway the kid that we adopt is Mikey Chloe, a nice and cute name, isn’t it? The next day, it’s really my free time. I didn’t go to school or any place instead I spend the day lying in my bed.
October 28………………………….
The start of another seminar, a seminar I thought was boring but not really. Students consider seminars as a boring activity and I agree with that. The seminar is all about journalism and honestly speaking, I really hate writing and I really don’t know what cross my mind to join this seminar. I was a little bit worried when Mrs. Cacal assigned me to do the community singing and worst of all, I didn’t know what I should sing. But then they suggested me to sing the Ilocos Sur Hym and so I did. After that, we have the lectures and some workshops and we noticed that the participants of the seminar were bored so we also conducted ice breakers. It was a lot of fun then but I got irritated when our last lecturer for the day dismissed us so late.
October 29………………………….
The second day of the seminar was just like the first, we have lectures, ice breakers but more workshops!!!! The lecturers gave us some assignments but I didn’t make the, bad me (hahaha). Well I thought those assignments wouldn’t affect my academic grades so I didn’t make them. But I joined all the ice breakers because it is my way to enjoy myself.
October 30………………………….
It is the last day of the seminar and I didn’t know if I would be happy or sad. Well we still have our lectures so it’s kind of boring but when we have our lecture on cartooning, all of us have fun because of the workshop. After that, the lecturers announced the best among us in writing. Then the seminar room was filled with laughter because we watched all the snap shots taken by Angelica and she added some funny jokes on it so we really can’t help laughing at that time. Well, that was the end of the three-day seminar, a seminar filled with enjoyment and fun.
The next days were a boring days for me for all I have done was lying in the bed. There’s nothing else I need to than texting for I have finished all the requirements that were given to us. While lying on the bed, all I did is waiting for our semestral break to come to an end.
Ooops!!! I almost forgot to mention about how I celebrate all saint’s and all soul’s day. Well I went to cemetery to visit my loved ones who passed away and light a candle and I uttered a little prayer for them. This is how we show our love for them and let them know that we haven’t forgotten them though they’re not whit us any longer. Well that’s how my semestral break end.

Web Designing
First grading had passed but still have lots to learn and this learnings would be taken this second grading. During the first grading, I’ve encountered some problems in connection to blogging and this time, I’m entering into the next stage of learning which is web designing. A kind of interesting topic for me.
Well, it is somehow challenging to make a design for a web page. Creativity must work so that we can create a beautiful and attractive web page and the outlook must be pleasing to others. Since I’m an art lover, there are so many designs that came up to my mind which are appropriate to our topic. But this is a group project and each of us have our own idea on designing our web page and it’s really hard to summarize all of these ideas so that we can come up into only one design. My group mates gave me the task of making our design and at first I’m really hard up because they were pressuring me. Though, we were able to make our design but my problem is the application of this design in the computer. I’m not as expert as my other classmates when it comes to computer. That’s the only problem that I’ve encountered on web designing and as usual, to solve this problem, all I need to do is listen to my teacher’s instructions and getting advice to those who have further knowledge on web designing as well.
Moving on, I will be able to make my own web page as beautiful and as attractive as one person had ever made.
