To Be Better And To Strive Harder

   The year 2024 left me with a good lesson. It opened me up to a new learning that I used to apply in my decision-making and to my own self. Yes, there are new learnings that I have attained that also brought me into a realisation with the things that I lack and the things I need to get rid of.  

    Throughout the whole year, I was observant with everything that I was doing. Some were new, but some were also my old doings that I continue doing. I can say that I have improved in doing things on my own without the instant thought of failure going on in my mind. I also improved in handling certain situations without getting angry and saying something bad or harsh. I handled my emotions with fragility and sensitivity because I can't always control my emotions; as they say, you feel what you feel, and we are only humans. Even if there are improvements, I also noticed there are things that I needed to improve, and that is I need to be more open about what I feel and my opinions to others. I need to get out of my own space and my own bubble and need to be more open and expressive to other people. I need to practice more to improve my social skills and actually be friendly and not only talk to my friends and family. 

     This year, I would definitely strive harder and to improve myself more so that I can achieve my goal, and that is to be better in many areas. 

Memories That Has Made: Forever To Keep

                                                          CHRISTMAS  VACATION 

   December 24 which is the Christmas Eve, My family and I made our Noche Buena. We planned to wake up at exactly 12 am to of course celebrate Christmas with each other. When I slept at 11 pm I feel that my body hurts that's why I didn't have the energy to wake up at exactly 12. There's a gut feeling that I'll have fever when I wake up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I did have fever, that's why I didn't have any aginaldo or gifts that received during Christmas. Luckily the day after Christmas, I felt okay already.The 5 days between the Christmas and New Year was gladly spent with my Family and Friends. 

    On the day before New Year, I wake up early because the Music Ministry at our church which I am included planned to go and visit one of the leader of our church. We went there and they gave us some "pamasko." We ate outside, particularly on the Steak to One, we also ate Ice cream when we planned to walk on Calle Crisologo. On our way there, there is one person who I think is not on His right mind, we were peacefully walking at the side of the road when He suddenly ran unto us and dares to hit us, of course we ignored about it and continued walking because we know that we shouldn't do anything because it will only make things worse, unfortunately He followed us and He even throw a small stone on one of us. We became the bigger person and understand Him so we didn't do anything until we reached Calle Crisologo and parted ways. The afternoon, my family and I went to Vigan Public Market to buy food and ingredients we need for the media noche. At night we went to Bantay to celebrate New Year with my mom's side. We went home at exactly 11pm to also celebrate New Year with the side of my father's.

    The morning of January 1 we went again to Bantay to celebrate their Fiesta, we ate lunch and in the afternoon, my cousins and I went to McDo to again bond because it's again the onlyy time that we gather. From McDo we walked to Bantay again to have a dinner to our relatives house and then after that we came home. 

    I super enjoyed our 12 day vacation from school because I get to spend ut with my family and friends by eating, and going out, and the memories that I have gained with the time frame, I will surely bring it until the end and it's now carved in memory and heart forevermore.
