LABOR DAY

 Labor Day is a national holiday celebrated in the Philippines every 1st of May, honoring the hard work and contributions of Filipino workers. For Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and seamen, this holiday holds special significance as they continue to strive for fairer working conditions abroad. It is one of the holidays that is celebrated every year, here in the Philipines. It is celebrated every May 01.

Labour Day is celebrated to honor every workers here in the Philippines and also other countries. We all know that every job in this world is not easy. Whether it is accounting, teaching, garbage collecting, farming or any. They are all hard works to do. That is why Labor Day is celebrated every year for us to celebrate and give honor to our hardworking laborers. This is to thank them for doing their work with so much effort and determination. This is to remind them that they are all appreciated and every work they are doing makes a really huge impact to our society.

Overall, workers are very determined on their jobs. They do their jobs with so much love and passion. We should thank them for working. We should fight for their right also, because some of them aren't accepting good treatment. Workers are very important to our lives. Without them, the world will not able to work. That's why Labor Day is important.

4th Quarter Reflection

Is this for real? I never thought I would be writing this Reflection blog sooner. The last reflection. I didn't notice that this school year is coming to an end. The day is fast, isn't it? It seems like a yesterday when I could hardly talk on the first day of school because of nervousness and it also seems like yesterday when I first wrote my reflection blog here. Time flies really fast.

This 4th quarter I had a lot of experience again,ike a cheerdance and final defense in our research. You know what? It seems like, I didn't even feel the 4th quarter because the time went by so fast. It seemed like it was just wind that passed me and suddenly realized that we are now heading to our last periodical test this quarter. I know this will be the last. I'm already attached to this section. I didn't expect myself to be attached to these people because in the first place, I didn't expect to be able to keep up with them. They were so energetic, the first day that I met them. Although, we are still shy with each other back then, I can feel their vibes. However, as time goes by, I realized that I was wrong. They were easy-goers and very approachable. That's why, I don't want this quarter to come to an end. It's hard to let go. However, I am thankful to this school year, to my classmates, to my teachers, God, and to all including this platform. In the future, I can just go back to this platform and reread all of these reflections and reminisce my last year of being a Junior High School.

Overall, I am very glad for this school year. I learned a lot of things and experienced a lot of things this school year, although, it is now coming to an end. It is very sad but also exciting at the same time. I know this will be the last reflection blog that I will be posting here and that's why I want to leave a message to all that might be reading this blog. I just to say CONGRATULATIONS for coming this far. Lastly, to this school year, If you can just read this, I just want to say, Thank you and Goodbye!♡

SCARY YET REWARDING FUTURE

                            By: Damian Walsh

Future. What do you think about the future? How do you see yourself after how many years? Is there anyone that afraid about the future like me? Why I am afraid about it, you might ask. Well it is because future remains uknown and a mystery which is very scary and terrifying for me. We don't know what will happen to us in the future and also I think that the person who I am now will make it. However, even if it is scary, I sometime find it exciting and adventurous. Also, realized that we will not be the same person in 5-10 years which may seems scary but very rewarding at the same time.

In the near future, I just dream about having a peaceful, happy, and financially stable life. I want to have a permanent job where I can earn money and enjoy at the same time. Having a simple life, I guess. But on the other hand, I also dream of having a luxurious and elegant life. Living on a mansion, having a rest house, owning a car and more. However, dream will remain just a dream if there will no goal. Having a goal is the key to reach those possible and maybe the impossible dream of mine.
Also, in the near future where I can freely do whatever I want where I can make some good memories and live my life. Attend BTS's concerts. I want to meet these 7 people who inspired me and taught me how to value myself. They are the reasons why I want to travel the world.I wanna go on a pure roadtrip someday, alone or with someone genuine/friends. I wanna get away. Get away if ever things are getting hard hard for me.
Explore places. I want to discover places and go to places that I only see on tv.
Sleep in the car, stop a lot just to admire the view. Visit museums and try out tea/coffee shops, listen to my favorite albums while driving, take pretty pictures of the sunrise, take gorgeous pictures of myself, run through a forest, chase fog and the sun, spend hours on a field making flower crowns with my friends, feel the wind in my hair, meet new people knowing I’ll never meet them again, take time to observe. I wanna make memories. We only live once as they say. I don't want to waste my time and life for not being adventurous and I don't want to have a regret for not trying these things. I want to enjoy life.


Overall, future is not something to be afraid of. It is unknown but it is exciting. In the near future, I just want to be financially stable, happy and peaceful. I have a lot of dreams and I'm planing to achieve them all. I want to be succesful. Just like Colin Powell said, "A dream doesn't become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hardwork". That's why in order to achieve these dreams, I need to be patient and hardworking, so that in the future my "soon" will become "finally".
