My Cyberfair thoughts and unforgettable experiences

Sabado, Marso 5, 2011


Cyberfair is a competition for the youth. It is a way to make the youth be ambassadors. It is also a way to showcase their talents. It has eight categories and our category is the first one or the local leaders category.

I think that Cyberfair is a great competition that helps the youth to somewhat express themselves in a very creative manner. The Cyberfair competition encouraged us to learn more and to self-study. It also helped enhance our skills and talents in making a website. The Cyberfair competition is so far the best competition I have ever been a part of. Even if it forced us to sleep late at night and wake up early in the morning it still made us better. I believe that joining in competitions like Cyberfair is a really great experience because it brings out the best in you. This competition also boosted our confidence especially in expressing ourselves.

For the past couple of months, we have been working on this project because it is also a part of our Technology and Home Economics curriculum. There were many things that our group experienced during the making of our project. We had our ups and downs, but who doesn’t? The worst thing we experienced was when all our files were deleted and we had to rush and make new files and fortunately we did. We also had some problem with our schedules but we worked it out and it turned out great.

My unforgettable experience is meeting other people during the making of our project. I learned many things from them too. It is a great thing because it helped me be more confident around other people.  This competition also helped me in my social abilities because it encouraged me to talk to many people. J

My Cyberfair Experience :)

Linggo, Pebrero 13, 2011
Cyberfair is an international contest for many schools. Our teacher in technology and home economics, Mr. Vincent Tabor, registered us to be participants in the said competition. To get us more interested in it, he made this our project. This competition is exclusively for the third year sections that Mr. Tabor handles. So basically there’s only two. One is 3-Mapagpakumbaba and the other one is 3-Mapagmalasakit. Mr. Vincent Tabor joined us together. There are eight categories in this competition so we formed eight groups.

The group I am in is the Local Leaders group. Our group is composed of three students from the science section and seven students from the regular section. We started doing our project in the first week of January. The work was divided into two. The content of the website was our part while the website was the work of the regular section. We didn’t know each other at first so it was not that comfortable working with them but as time passed by we got to know each other and it became very nice working with them.

Everyone has their ups and downs and so did we. There were some misunderstandings in our group mainly because of our class schedules but also because of miscommunication with our group mates. We had a hard time communicating with our group mates because of our class schedules and also because we don’t see each other that much. There were also many great things that happened in our group. We got to know each other more and more when we work. We also gained great experiences. The best thing for me is that I got to know more people and I gained many friends from this project. I did not only become friends with my group mates but also with other people from other groups because we all helped each other.

Break even <3



My blog is all about the song break even by The Script. I chose this song to blog about because it’s a really great song and a very powerful one too. It has really very deep meaning and I love it. J

The song is all about love and broken-heartedness. The song break even also expresses the feeling of sadness. It talks about the feeling of a broken-hearted guy. The guy expresses his sadness because while he’s still not moving on, the girl already found someone else. The guy is trying really hard to move on but he just can’t.

"When thinking won't cure fear, action will" - W. Clement Stone

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” – Franklin Roosevelt



“Nothing is terrible except fear itself” – Francis Bacon

There are so many things that define what fear is. On the blog of John Maxwell, he said that fear is universal and that even the most courageous people feel afraid sometimes. He also said that avoiding fear doesn’t really make it go away but there is one way to overcome fear: we have to face it. John Maxwell also mentioned some ways to overcome sin. These are:

-Discover the foundation of fear
It says here that most of the time fear is not actually based on a fact but it is just based on a feeling.
   =>Many people feel fear because sometimes they just make things up in their mind that makes them afraid. Like for example when you hear a click in the door at night your first thought must be that it’s a burglar so you feel fear and you tend to think of other scary things so that makes you more afraid.

-Admit your fears
By admitting our fear, we can then challenge its accuracy.
    =>One step in overcoming fear is by admitting it. By knowing and admitting your fears then you can now think of ways to overcome them.

-Accept the frailty and brevity of life
We can only focus on what we can control in our life by accepting the frailty and brevity of life.
    =>Let us think more on the things that we can really do and make better rather than stressing out on the things that are inevitable.

-Accept fear as the price of progress
For us to do something great we must first be willing to take some risks and with risk comes fear.
    =>Fear is everywhere. Everyone feels it. Even the best things in life are connected with fear. So in order to achieve the best things we have to undergo many obstacles and one of them is fear. But once we overcome it we will feel very relived and overwhelmed with great emotions.

-Develop a burning desire that overcomes fear
Sometimes the best way to fight fear is by confronting it.
    => We should always think that there is a bigger picture. Behind fear there is always something greater that’s why we should develop a burning desire that overcomes fear.

-Focus on what you can control
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do” – John Wooden
    =>Everything in this world changes. Change is everywhere and it is inevitable. There is nothing we can do about it. So rather than focusing on the unstoppable we should focus our mind, time and power in things that we can actually do.

-Focus on today
By focusing only on what’s right in front of us, we can manage tremendous risk because we know we’ll only have to deal with it one wave at a time.
    =>Don’t think about the past because you can’t do anything about it. What’s done is done and you can’t do anything about it. Don’t think about tomorrow because you can’t predict what would happen. The best thing is think about today and what you can do or say because that’s what matters.

-Put some wins under your belt
The more we face our fears, the more capable we begin to feel, and the more fears we are willing to face.
    =>Fear can build up but courage can too. We face each day with fear. We might not feel it all the time but it is there and it is easily triggered. But as the days pass by we encounter them. And as we encounter them we gain some kind of immunity to this certain fear so we become more courageous to face life day after day.

-Do it now
As we realize what’s true and focus on what we can control, the fear naturally fades and weakens.
    =>We can conquer fear in many ways and some of these ways were mentioned. If thinking about overcoming fear is not working then the thing left to do is acting. We should act in order for us to overcome our fears.

John Maxwell’s blog is really inspiring for me. It actually is really true. It talks about fear and it is a constant thing in this world. All of us experience fear at some point in our life and we should know how to overcome them and John Maxwell just gave us some ideas how to.

Sunset

Sunset

I look out my window
I see the faint color of the rainbow
And the sky blending with the sea
I think to myself what a wonderful place to be

A place of quietness and love
From the holy people above
It’s the meeting of the day and the night
Darkness will overshadow the light

Its near the end of the day
But the start of another play
Make everyday worth your time
Because life’s a climb

Be hopeful for what may come
May it be nice or not, just stay calm
Do every thing you want to do
Because sometimes you just may not have a clue

By: Lycon Marie L. Soliba

Christmas day and Advent season

Sabado, Enero 1, 2011
The birthday of Jesus or also known as Christmas day is celebrated on the twenty-fifth day of December. I believe that this day is the most awaited day of many people because it’s a time to receive and give things like gifts or love or any other things that you can give. J
Before Christmas day we go through a lot of “activities” like the “misa de gallo” and “simbang gabi”. We also celebrate the Advent season. We make advent wreaths and put four candles on it. Three candles are violet while one candle is pink. Each candle represents different things and each week of the advent season we light one candle. The first candle represents hope, the second candle or the candle of the way, the third candle represents joy and lastly the fourth candle represents peace.
Many people actually start celebrating the Christmas season on the twenty-fourth day of December. On the night of December 24 many people go to church to celebrate the so called “simbang gabi”. After the simbang gabi we celebrate Christmas with our family and with friends. Usually many people use “paputok” to make loud noises but I believe that because of very many accidents in the past due to “paputok” the officials and the police posted a law that prohibits children from using “paputok”.
Christmas is a really great event because it’s a time for family and friends. It’s the time us to be reunited with the people we love and to start catching up with them. It’s a time for love and joy.

T.I.

Linggo, Disyembre 19, 2010

Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. or better known by his stage name T.I. is a thirty year old rapper who is continuing his rise to fame.  He was born on the twenty fifth day of September on the year 1980. He is a rapper, song writer, record producer and now also an actor. He has a movie that just came out recently. The movie is called TAKERS. He is in this movie together with Chris Brown, another great singer.

He started his career back in 2001 and he’s active until now. He already released about five albums and through the years he becomes better and better. He has many great songs and some of them are: I Got Your Back, All She Wrote, Get Back Up, Dead and Gone. These are actually some of my favorite songs. I think that they’re really amazing songs. Many people can really relate to his songs because it’s so real.

He had some beef with some people but they eventually resolved it. Through the years he progressed impeccably. Most of his songs were included in the top ten songs of the week. He won many awards because of his great songs. He collaborated with many great artists too and some of them were Eminem, Keri Hilson, Chris Brown and even Cristina Aguilera.

My favorite song of T.I. is the one he recorded with Keri Hilson. It’s the one entitled I Got Your Back. I chose it because its really sweet and the meaning is really deep. Its like telling the person you love that you’ll always be there no matter what. J
