Do you feel different this month? Have you noticed the shining stars above the sky and the cool wind? How about the bright Christmas trees and Christmas lanterns? And of course, are you aware of the little children, some of the youth, and even the senior citizen caroling from house to house? Yes, these are the signs of Christmas season-the most awaited part of the year.
" Every day is a Christmas Day," this is one of the most popular quotes all over the world. According to the Bible, there is no exact date when Jesus Christ is born. But we, the Filipinos are traditionally celebrating the Christmas on every 25th day of December. In addition to this, we cannot remove it from our culture and to every mind of all the Filipinos, because we are baptized and grown up with this kind of occasion. So above all, what are the really essence of celebrating Christmas? For me, we can internalize the message of Christmas by giving or sharing what we have to the miserable ones with all your heart, mind and soul. We can also feel the the true essence of Christmas by showing your care, understanding, attention, and most especially your love to your fellowmen.
Be real to yourself, we should not only show these traits or feelings during the Christmas season but also to the rest of our life for the betterment of yourself, your fellowmen, for the motherland and to our Creator/Savior. I wish that we will all enjoy this Christmas season to the fullest level and I hope it will leave a very momentous experience.

GSP Encampment
The Girls in Green Uniform are very active, and always there to give their ultimate service to everyone who are in need of help. Yes, we the Girls Scouts of Ilocos Sur National High School are ready to face the challenges of life.
Last November 19-22, 2009, was the 39th Senior Scout Provincial Encampment held at CPC Campsite Pug-os Cabugao Ilocos Sur with the theme "Mother's Life and Health is Precious." There was one patrol composed of seven girls who represented our school to participate in the encampment, led by their ever active tita's- Tita Judith, Tita Elvira, and Tita Vangie. I was very happy because I was given the opportunity to join this activity. I can't explain to everybody how happy as I can be, most especially in doing our activities like going to Pikkang Falls to have an educational tour. We also planted seedlings along the mountain. I was challenged when we had a needle work. In this activity we sew gloves and socks for babies. There was also a lecture on ARH or Adolescence Reproductive Health. I learned a lot from this lecture specifically on how to prevent the diseases cause by STD and others. For me the best activity that we had was the cocktail party. Because we have to wear our preggy look alike style with its purpose to internalize mote the feelings of being a mother. During the closing program, we receive an award of "multi-talented patrol" and I individually receive the "Motherly Camper Award."
That ends the provincial encampment for the year 2009. It was a really amazing and great experience of my whole high school life. I hope there will be another joyous and meaningful encampment in the future.
