True Essence Of Christmas

We are already in the month of December, and I can already feel the cold air that keep me hugging my pillows. It's now only a few days before Christmas, and we all know that Christmas day is a very special and meaningful day for us, because its the day when Jesus Christ was born, and the day that we should be with our love one's. But do you really know the true essence of Christmas is? For me, it the time that we share, we give and forgive our enemies and also other people, it is how you care and love them.

You don't need to be rich just to help other people. Giving donations is one way on sharing and helping people who are in-need. You can donate old materials that you have, those that you don't need anymore, like old clothes, old toys, bags and even books. By this, you are not only helping somebody, but you also make yourself closer to God. Forgiving is also what Christmas is all about. Jesus Christ wants us to live in a world of peace, and so we should forgive our enemies and forget what are the mistakes and the wrong doings that they did to us. It may not be an easy thing to do, but we can do it little by little, step by step, until finally we can already forgive one another.

By helping and forgiving one another, we can make our world a better place. A new world of peace, a world that God wants us to live with. And we do this as a gift to the upcoming birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Filipino Values Month Celebration

Month of November is the Filipino Values Month Celebration. In our school, the Values Department conducted many activities involving contest and mass.

Some of these activities are Kite Flying Contest, Film Viewing, Sayawit, Tagistalino, and Food Festival. In our section IV-Bonifacio, some of my classmates join some of these contests. Like in Kite Flying Contest. Our class president Jhovanie Taiza and some of my classmates made an entry. They made a kite colored with red, and has a logo of "KKK".Unfortunately, during the contest our kite was crash into a tree, and was destroyed . But even though we didn't win this contest, we still enjoy watching it. My classmates also join the "Sayawit Contest". During the contest my classmates made a good performance. But unfortunately again, we lost because they exceeded at the time limit. And so their scores are deducted and they only got 3rd place in the contest.

We really enjoy the activities conducted by the Values Department. Even though we didn't win, our section still made a good participation and also made a good job in like this events.
