 "Help me, I'm tired" I said as I slowly traced the veins in my wrist with a knife. Depression is a serious problem in this world today, and a lot of people have this problem, they are depressed. Depression is not just depression, it can kill you, it can kill every one of us when we are not strong enough to handle the pain and sadness of this world. This is not a joke, depressed people should be take cared, and understand because they need a lot of attention, love. They are more capable on ending their lives. They need to be motivated to keep loving their selves and to keep moving forward in life. To all depressed people, just be strong, we love you. Don't think that no one loves you, no, we are here for you always :) photo src:https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boredpanda.com%2Fdepression-through-art%2F&psig=AOvVaw26PrZJiTnlBXdRDU-FyHeD&ust=1583989448236000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJiArtf

     Life, as we humans know it, is multifaceted and defined based on perspective. That is why it is important to see what life is like for each person. Not the kind of life that we have from day to day, but what life is in a holistic sense.       There are several layers to life. Ultimately, we are only pure consciousness. Beyond thought, emotions, and bodily sensations, we are simply consciousness. I know this because when I have gotten into deep meditations, I reach that pure consciousness. I believe that everyone, in his or her essence, is this non-reactionary, non-identified self. This is our most basic layer of self, even though we cannot seem to reach it easily as adults. However, infants seem to be in this state automatically.       Beyond our thoughts are our emotions. Emotions, like thoughts, are reactions most of the time to circumstances. They are also connected to the body through hormones and chemical reactions within the body. Therefore, it is incorrect to

     Every person in this world does have a dream or an ambition which one wants to fulfill during his / her life. This very dream encourages you to do better and better and move towards your goal. Not everything you think of can be your dream. Some things are just a part of the fascination you grow up with during your childhood. However, your dream plays an important role in your life.    We will all be nothing without dreams. Not having dreams is like chasing a traceless murder.      For me dreams are very efficient on achieving such successful future because it will be our motivation and inspiration.I f you don’t have a dream, you can never enjoy the luxuries of life or all that life has to offer. You will never feel that ecstatic feeling of achievement. You will never get pride in what you do and what you have achieved. All these things are necessary for human beings and without these feelings, there is no motivation.       So my dream is that all of my dreams will not

It is a time to commemorate the birth of our school. There is a great deal of activities , boundless excitement and anticipation that awaits participants in different activities. Preparation starts ahead of time.  It has activities like the Parade, Awarding, and the most awaited Field Demonstration where all students in every year level show their talent in dancing. The judges will pick one year level   for the girls and one for the boys. The winners will receive cash prize. As a grade 10 student, this is our last High School Day as a Junior High School Students. It's sad to think that we girls never in our Junior High School have ever experienced winning in this competition but I have to accept that fact at least we enjoyed even though it is tiring. The HS day is postponed because of the virus NCOV but it is for the safety of the students so it is a bit saddening. Although i'm looking forward for announcement that the HS day will still be celebrated photo

  Kannawidan  is an Ilocano term  meaning  feast of rich heritage and culture. It marks the 198th foundation of Ilocos Sur, which separated the province from Ilocos Norte by a Royal Decree on February 2, 1818. It is a celebration that lasts from the last week of January up to the first week of February. Included in the course of events is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province. On the opening day, there is usually a mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral. It is followed by a procession of the Patron Saints of the 40 parishes and images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the city. It is the Ilocanos' way of giving thanks to the Almighty not only for the bountiful blessings but also for the rich heritage of the city, including the close family ties among the Ilocanos. This event showcases the deep-rooted religiosity of the townsfolk. One mission of the festival is paying more attention to the children. It is because of the observation th

C H A N G E  M E Change is the only constant in life Consider all the changes in a person’s life: a person is born a small baby, they live and grow, then one day become old and decrepit, and they ultimately die. It is the natural order of things, but no one wants to get old, suffer and die. So naturally, people do things to resist this big change, only to finally come to terms that they – like all living things – must wither away into a state of nothingness. But avoiding the natural changes of life only adds more suffering, creating a deep feeling that one is not being true to themselves and not living according to the natural order of the world. This, in turn, creates inner turmoil, as their resistance to change does more harm than good.  Change makes for new challenges, for different ways of doing things, and it creates a disruption of the normal way of living for most people. pic src:  https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%
