The TRUE ESSENCE of CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas, the day that we are all waiting for every year. There's no other day that is more exciting to celebrate than Christmas day. We always celebrate Christmas by exchanging gifts, decorating our Christmas tree and throwing party. But we are forgetting the true essence of Christmas.

The true essence of Christmas is remebering the birth of Christ and His love for us. Without Him, we would not be here today. We can also say that Christmas is all about sharing your blessings with those who are really in need and being thankful for what we have. In other words, we should love our neighbors even if they are poor or rich, our friend or our foe. Giving love to our neighbors may be the best gift that we can give to them so we should keep loving them.

But don't just give love on Christmas Day instead we should also give love even if it's not Christmas so that people will also love you.

November-tastic??

November, the 11th month of the year. It's a busy month for us students in school and also at home because there are many activities that are expected to be done.

We all know that on this month, the first thing we do is to visit the remains of our dead relatives because it's All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. The 3 long weekends that we had was sure enjoying because we had time to relax and I had time to play computer games. But on the other hand, something sad happened. Our Math teacher, Mrs. Josephine Parel, had her retirement. We, the IV-Marconi, had thrown a party for her to make her happier and a sign of giving thanks to her. The City Meet 2009 also occured on this month and the opening program was done here in school. Also, some of the sports were played here in school. So we, CAT officers, were ordered to do our duties.

It's sure is a busy month for us, but thank God that all has ended well and the only concern for us now is in the future. We should think positive so that all will also end well in the future.
