“A SNAIL WHO HIDES INSIDE ITS SHELL”

                    

       “A SNAIL WHO ONLY SINGS     

                                INSIDE ITS SHELL”

 

 I am Gesus Miracle Peredo,  im 15 year old , currently studying  at Ilocos Sur National High School. I was born and raised at Zone 5, Bantay Ilocos Sur. I have 5 sibling, 3 girls(including me) and 3 boys and my parents are Mrs. Marisel Nancy Inere Peredo and Mr. Gilberto Q. Peredo. My Family are very religious , we always pray at night together and go to church every Sunday. And right now  im going tell you something about myself . . . …

I sing a lot, but it’s always in my own time, when no one else is around except  maybe my family. I am an all around shy person, therefore, getting up in front of people to sing is just not my thing. I have been asked to sing and put on the spot before and I just cannot do it. It bothers me that I am so shy with something that I enjoy spending my time doing. When I’m all alone, I block everything out and I’m not hesitant to express, with my voice, what I am feeling. However, when other people are around my voice goes back into its shell, as it becomes conscious that there are people around, listening. Hopefully, one day I can build up enough courage and my hands will stop shaking every time I get in front of others, so I can show them how important singing is to me and what a joy it is and has been throughout my life to do it.

Strangely, to this day, it still puzzles me because I am not sure as to why this happens to me, but I always get emotional when I hear someone sing who has a beautiful voice. I think this is because when I hear a person truly put their all into a song and really feel the song, it makes me feel what they are feeling and puts me in their shoes. Also, I have found myself beginning to cry when I sing in church or hear people sing in church. By noticing this happening, I have found that, depending on what the song is talking about, it really touches me.

THE LENTEN SEASON

  For Christians, Lent is the season of reflection, fasting and aimsgiving. This season commemorates not only the passion of Jesus Christ but also the time he went to the desert to reflect and meditate for 40 days. This season exhorts Christians to follow in the footstep of Christ by helping those who are in need while resisting the temptation of the material world. One of the most   important aspect of Lenten season is the spirit of Reflection. It offers us a time to reflect on our actions if our actions were in Line with Christ. This kind of reflection allows us to gain insight on what we need to do to help us follow Christ. It opens us a chance to change ourselves for the better. Another aspect of Lent is the spirit of sacrifice. God sacrifice his own son for us. Christian believe that by   sacrificing a little aspect of our lives they can repay and share the sacrifice done by Jesus during his passion that’s why Christian do  fasting. Even though Lent is a sea...

"CLEAN AND GREEN"

Image
  The environment around us is not only our home but everything that keeps us alive. From the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, our shelter and more, it helps us to survive. Therefore, caring for the environment is something that should be inherent in us. Sometimes, our actions endanger everything that surrounds us, including ourselves. Our interaction with the environment should be in a way that we use the resources that nature provides, but in a sustainable manner. Here is a guide to  what sustainability means  and how to practice it daily. We Only Have One Earth As Our Home Why is the environment important? Although some of us may take this lightly, it is critical to know that we don’t have anywhere else we can run to. If we spoil what we have here, we will suffer the consequences of our actions. If we take care of nature, then nature will also take care of us in return. When we pollute the water sources, we are the ones who will lack clean water. If...
