Time Dilemma

The clock is ticking too fast..

Time flies and moves rapidly..

But.. Can I go with this flow very swift?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The semestral break finally ended and the outset of the third grading has already started. As expected, we'll continue our topic on Hypertext Mark-up Language. Our hands-on activities, this time, were on colors and pictures.


ACTIVITY 6: This was all about putting background colors on an HTML file - it was a mind-blowing activity. I am always fond of blending colors so I knew that I would be too skeptic and delicate in choosing what color am I going to use. If it was only possible to use two or more colors as background or a gradient, I might do it. But I think it was nonviable so I just used pink instead of red, orange and yellow gradient colors.


ACTIVITY 7: I was not able to finish this activity - putting background picture on an HTML file. Like before, it was time again which is my problem. My classmates were almost done on this, but me, I have done nothing yet. I already have a plan on what picture I will use but it's only time which doesn't cooperate. If I'm free off official businesses, the computer room isn't available. But when it's free to use, I'm doing something somewhere around the school.


When will time give me an opportunity to finish all my requirements in ICT-IV? It's as if time's the villain in my studies, he doesn't allow me to do this html activities. But I'm sure that I'll find time to accomplish my works. I just have to go with the flight of time to easily cope up with this dilemma in ICT-IV.

Contest Instead Of Rest

Different: My semestral break this year was different from the others. 'Twas the only time that I got very busy and concentrated much in my reviews for the Regional STEP Skills Development and Competition; and also, a time to meet a "new friend".

My Last Year in STEP (probably in Mangaldan - October 28-30): I enjoyed this, really. Although we weren't able to bring home all the awards, I'm still glad for this experience I had. New skills competitions were added this year, like the Fertilizer Computation. I was chosen to be the representative of Vigan City Division on this. Since it was new, we had to prepare for it that's why I attended an intensive review at the Provincial Agriculture Office before going to Mangaldan. We also reviewed for the Techno Quiz. Without being boastful, I can say that our tandem was great, and we might have a chance to win in the region. However.. I was very very very disappointed for I wasn't able to participate in the quiz show. There was a conflict in the schedule of two event skills. 'Twas done simultaneously. But I feel contented, a bit only.

Calculator: At least, I met a new friend.. in an extraordinary way.. very unusual. He’s from Urdaneta City and was actually my opponent in the competition. We met because of a calculator! He was absented-minded like me. Maybe he hadn't also read the guidelines about the required calculator - a nonscientific calculator. He and I only noticed that we brought the wrong one when the competition was about to start. And in coincidence, I had two. He borrowed the other one. After the contest and before we parted ways, he thanked me and we talked about where we're planning to study in college. His coach was too “makulit” unlike him who’s so “silent”.

He’s GEORGE.
