Christmas is widely known as the season of giving. In this season children are waiting for Santa Claus. They put their socks on their windows, waking up early the next day to have their presents. When I was a child I also believed in Santa Claus. Until I came to the right age and understand the fact that there is no Santa.

Jesus is the real meaning of Christmas, but this meaning is already erased in the hearts of human beings. Why do most people celebrate Christmas? Is is really to reminisce the birth of Jesus? Or just to have fun? I , myself keep on asking these questions. It's been years since I started to asked these questions and until now, my mind is not yet brighten.

The essence of Christmas is now divided. Some celebrate it for fun. Some awaits it for their gifts or for their Santa Claus. Others love it for in this season there is no work.

Even though we have different intentions in celebrating Christmas, we must put in our hearts that Jesus is behind in these celebrations.

Happy holidays!!!

God made human last. He made us like Him,His own image. He made us to rule the Earth and to take care of it. But in order to fulfill His orders, we must create a relationship with one another, "FELLOWSHIP".

Fellowship means cooperation. We must have only one agenda in order to build a well-renewed society. We, people, made with differences. We have different cultures but we are ONE. We have different beliefs, but we are ONE. ONENESS is everything we need. We must uplift the state of our nation, our country.

fellowship must be EVERYWHERE. We can encourage those who are feeling alone. we must tel them that we, each of us, are for each other not against one another. We are the only one who can build a great nation. The Earth is just waiting for our move.

The first semester is consists of the First Grading and the Second Grading. before entering the second semester, which consists of the Third Grading and the Fourth Grading,there is a so called "Semestral Break". It is only a one week break, but for me it's just okay.

We started our break right after the Second Grading Examination which is good enough because our teachers cannot give any special assignment for us to make during our sem-break. I did not went out often during the break. I made an everyday schedule. I usually woke up 8:00-9:00 in the morning. I don't eat my breakfast because I immediately clean the whole house, wash the dishes and refill drinking bottles. I then eat my brunch. After which, I sleep from about 11:00-3:00 in the afternoon. Then i cook for dinner at 5:00 in the afternoon.

Because of lots of "NO WORK TO DO", I continued reading the Breaking Dawn ( the last book of Twilight saga ). i usually made myself busy by reading this book. I was fascinated with the story so I finished reading it for 2 days and 1 night only. For over 720 pages of the book.

This was my sem-break. maybe for others it is boring, but with this kind of schedule I will NEVER get BORED.

Trying your best is better than being the best. There is no harm in trying. In a student's life, trials are encountered along the way. Yes! It is true that being a student is quite hard but trough this stage of life, we can gain much experience for a start-up knowledge in the future.

I am proud that I am a Filipino. Though I am still a student I can contribute to our innovation. Students' are the leaders of tomorrow. How can we make this statement true if we cannot push our country forward? It is not an exception for us students to help. Even in a young age we can help in our Filipino innovation.

If you fall along the way, don't think twice to get-up or not. Come to think of this, if you will not get up who will lead the nation tomorrow? Filipinnovation must start in yourself. If you aren't proud that you are a Filipino how can you help in moving forward?

Neglect fear. Don't let that fear run through you. Think about your future. The state of life of the next generation. It is in your hands, students. Your journey, our journey start here, as a student. Give it your best.
