The Miss Earth pageant coronation night will be held here in the Philippines on December 03, 2011 at the UP theaters Manila. Before the coronation, the delegates are on tour. Going in different places to do productive activities. One of the lucky place is our school. The delegates went in PWU-QC JASMS last November 29 for a school tour and tree planting. In their visit, they are not aware that they are inspiring students. They became one of the inspiration of the students. The tour gave the student more confidence and hope. They taught students to keep going and achieve even those dreams that they think impossible.
Yeah! They are not so aware that they give inspiration and they don't know that those simple act that they are doing can change a life by giving a student a new hope. They are like a living testimony. As if there's a paper posted at their forehead saying "Look at me! I'm now a candidate of Miss World! I once dreamt about it, and know I'm living my dreams!" They just don't know that while they are walking, they're saying that once you want a thing, you can have it if you make a move. Dream big then live it! :)

HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS
Halloween (a contraction of All Hallows’ Evening), also known by Hallowe’en or All Hallow's Eve, is an annual holiday observed around the world on October 31, the night preceding All Saints Day. Much like Day of the Dead celebrations, the holiday has origins inChristianity, as well as festivals of harvest time and festivals honouring the dead, particularly oldCeltic and Druid ones. Typical Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, watching horror films, as well as praying and attending vigils or church services.
Halloween in china
In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have departed while bondires and lanterns are lit in order to light the paths of the spirits as they travel the earth on Haloween night. Worshippers in Buddhist temples fashion "boats of the law" from paper, some of which are very large, which are then burned in the evening hours. The purpose of this custom is twofold: as a remembrance of the dead and in order to free the spirits of the "pretas" in order that they might ascend to heaven. "Pretas" are the spirits of those who died as a result of an accident or drowning and whose bodies were consequently never buried. The presence of "pretas" among the living is thought by the Chinese to be dangerous. Under the guidance of Buddhist temples, societies are formed to carry out ceremonies for the "pretas," which includes the lighting of lanterns. Monks are invited to recite sacred verses and offerings of fruit are presented
