Reflective Essay


     Honestly, doing the blog was a bit tiring, literally. I felt so tired. But the only exhausting part was encoding the five compositions we created. My fingers  bit red there. But trust me, after doing that, you'll feel good. There is no problem editing your blog because you got all the source you can get.
     While doing my blog, I developed my creative skills even more. I've been an eyeful for the things I want to display in my blog. But I ended up having the simplest things and design in my blog. I don't know what happened, I just love the simple look of it. I did use euphemisms and figures of speech in my compositions and a little bit in editing my blog, and I learned to use it in the proper way. I got new words in my vocabulary that I could use anytime, anywhere.
     Making my blog helped me a lot, in my writing and speaking skills. And I had fun doing it.

What Christmas Means To Me


     All over the world Christmas is celebrated. But the question is, why do we celebrate it? What do Christmas mean to us? For some reasons, I guess. And by reasons I mean giving and receiving gifts, to be with our loved ones, time to carol at every house and sort of things that include happiness. But for me, it's way too different, what I mean about Christmas is definitely simple.
     Actually, it's a little bit of the things I said. I am really looking forward for this event every year. Because probably I'm so excited to receive gifts and have that nice feeling seeing people I gave presents a big smile on their face, that's one reason of Christmas for me. Next is to be with the ones who love me and I love, of course. Eating noche buena with my family, sharing thoughts about Christmas fills my heart with the Christmas spirit and not being a humbug. Another reason for me are the carolers' voices, and if you really listen to the lyrics of the song, you will definitely get the wonderful meaning of it, and you'll feel good. There's this one weird, childish reason of Christmas to me, and it's being nice because 'tis the season not to be naughty. And it's because I want to receive a worthy gift from Santa Claus. Well we know that Santa hardly exists, but I think that the legendary Santa Claus is God, that if you're nice the whole year, He'll give you the gift you wanted. But what really Christmas mean to me, the top of the list?; is to remember the birth of Papa Jesus and say " Happy Birthday Papa Jesus! ", I do that every year.
     Let's make a change this Christmas. And by change, I mean good things and by good things I mean love and by love I mean Christmas spirit and by Christmas spirit I mean remembering Jesus Christ's birthday and celebrate it all over the world.So on Christmas day, let's all say, " Happy Birthday Papa Jesus! ".
