"MY DREAM, MY FUTURE"

Dream. Everyone dreams, right? However, what is dream actually? No one knows that. Some people think that dream can be interpreted into something happening in future, some other thinks that dream can be a sign like what to buy in the next lottery round; some like to take it as if their souls are wondering somewhere else. Sometimes, there are just dreams. Conversely, I have a dream that can point to issues in real life. My dream is to become a successful person in no matter what I do in future and be able to dive at all the world known places. Other than that, my dream is to become the richest person in the whole wide world!
According to someone, "Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, sounds or emotions passing through the mind during sleep." Seldomly, I dream of becoming a successful well-known doctor. Becoming a doctor is my dream because since I'm still a child, that is already what I want to take up in college.
Someday, I hope that my dream will become my future. I really really hope so. In order to reach that, I should always pray to God to guide me all the way. When time comes that I have already reached my goal, I am sure that everyone who knows me will be proud of me! :)

"CHANGE: IT STARTS WITH ME"

My whole life, I have been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. I always assumed that change occured when you moved to a new town or when you lost someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn't have to occur over a single dramatic event. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it's time to do something different.

For obvious reasons, people reject change. Especially people who are close to each other because they feel that this change is going to seperate them and make them not as close as they used to be. They fight the change until they force the person to change. It's sad how this works, but in reality, it's probably the single most reason why people change. The people we love, love us so much that they want us to remain the way we are forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was origianlly coming from.

It's dangerous to try to stop change and argue against it, especially if the person wants to change so much. The reason that somebody wants to change is usually not their choice, but a feeling that the person feels inside their head and heart. It's almost like a celestial force is making you change and you have no say in the matter but you know you have to because your mental and physical attributes are commanding you to. Maybe the change isn't the best change, but if you dig deeper, the person that you love and know isn't really changing, they are just trying to find themselves and the one thing they need the most is the support of the people who they care about the most. When the people they care about the most dismiss their change as something unimportant and try to guard down everything by rules and regulations, the person they loved begins to change out of sadness that the one group of people he or she thought would understand, really has no clue. Maybe change isn't always good or bad, like I was saying before, but it could be looked at as something to help you grow. So just remember..if someone is changing, be there for them, offer your their opinion but help them go through whatever they need to go through because they will do what they need to do regardless of the people that they really do love. But I always bear in mind that I should be always the one to start making a change! :)

"MY REFLECTION"

On this Third Grading Period, we have learned about the HTML links, different kinds of HTML links, how to make Body Backgrounds, Background Colors, how to put HTML images, about Alt Attributes, Aligning Images, Adjusting Sizes, Hyperlinks/Hypertext, Hypermedia, do our project using the Microsoft Frontpage and make drafts to post on our own blogs.
Luckily, I haven't encountered any problems/challenges in our class regarding on our lessons. It's just only that when we made our project in Frontpage, my partner in our workstation didn't helped me that much. He was almost absent all the time but thank God, I have finished it even though it's not that very beautiful.
I addressed that problem through asking for some help from my classmates and I really thank them a lot. Without them, probably I can't finish our project.
Moving on, I will listen more harder to our teacher so that I can fully understand our lessons. I will exert more efforts to do our different activities so that Hj will be more satisfied. I hope that I will be more attentive to our class especially now that finals are nearly coming. I really hope so... :]]

"THE TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS"

People say that the most important event or celebration in the whole year is Christmas. We celebrate Christmas every December. I think, Christmas is the most important event in the whole year because it is the birthday of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But, what makes this event so special.
In my own understanding, Christmas is special since it's the birth of Jesus Christ, it is also a time to spread love and happiness. All of our families and friends are rejoicing. The whole world is at peace and placid. Christmas is a time of feast and a time for reconciliation. The true essence or meaning of Christmas is about loving, forgiving, sharing and peace. It's not about the decorations, presents and foods. But, it's all about love, forgiveness, sharing and peace. This is all what Jesus Christ wants us to give him during his birthday.
So, let us all be reminded that Christmas is not about those gifts or presents. We should care about the true meaning and essence of Christmas so that Jesus Christ will always be happy! :)
