KANNAWIDAN ( YLOCOS FESTIVAL )

Kannawidan, what does it mean? Are you aware that there is a Kannawidan after the Feast of St. Paul?

Actually after celebrating the Feast of St. Paul, the Kannawidan is coming there to celebrate again. Year 2007 was the formally started of Kannawidan. According to the people, Kannawidan was all about culture and traditions. As you go infront of the Ilocos Sur Capitol, you will see the beautiful stage which some famous artist are performing there. Also, Kannawidan is the event that most of us are waiting for. Not because of the beautiful faces of our favorite artist but of course it's all about the different products in Ilocos Sur from Sinait to Tagudin. Because of Kannawidan we can see the products of different places and we can buy their products if we want.

For me, Kannawidan was the reason why I've encountered the different products here in Ilocos Sur. And I believe that one day, Kannawidan Festival will be famous not only in the Region but in the entire Philippines.

Viva San Pablo (The most awaited event )

VIVA VIGAN!!!

Have you ever see the most awaiting event here in Vigan which is the Feast of Saint Paul?


Every 25th day of January, we Bigueños are celebrating the Feast of Saint Paul here in Vigan. Everyone of us are waiting for that event because in that event we can see the grand parade here in Vigan, a lot of activities and competitions would be done like street dancing, balikatan, DepEd day, Miss Vigan 2011, Miss Balikatan 2011, the prossesion of Saint Paul around Vigan and many more. At the street, we can see the people who are dancing and endorsing how delicious longganisa is, here in Vigan. After that, they will show their talents through different interpretations and we call that showdown at night. And if you want to see the beauty faces of the bigueños, you can watch the following events like Miss Balikatan 2011 and ofcourse searching for the Miss Vigan 2011. And another if you want to watch funny events just go and watch the Balikatan Dancers. And lastly, if you want a long exercise just go and join the prossesion. But after many days watching the different activities here in Vigan, I'm sure that everyone are tired and hungry but I know we enjoy it very much. And I would advice you to go to the side part of Plaza Burgos and there you will find the solution of your tiredness.


If you missed watching those activities here in Vigan don't worry my friends there's more, the KANNAWIDAN is the other program that will be done. And I hope you will not miss the opportunity. VIVA SAN PABLO!!!

Way Back to the Past

" We cannot change the past

We can only learn from it
And try to avoid the same
mistakes in the future"

Yah! That's true. As a fourth year student, I can compare that saying to my studies, why?

In my ICT IV, my groupmates and I did our project for the third grading period. First, we don't know were doing because the one who knows what to do is not present. So, Michelle and I decided to do our project. We made some parts of our project that day. The next day, we tried to open our homepage but the things we've done yesterday, we didn't saw it. So we decided to do it again. And I've learned in my ICT IV how to make a homepage and that was all about our project.

I've encountered a lot of problems like in doing our/my project, not only in ICT IV but of all my subjects. Of course, in doing projects we need a money. So financial problem is one of my problems. I had also a problem on the household chores because that responsibilities makes my time less in doing my assignments, projects and of course in reviewing my notes.

I will address those challenges by being thrifty to my allowance and by managing my time.

Moving on, I will be industrious in my studies. And the past will be my learnings.

2011: Year of the Rabbit

In every journey in our life, we always say "Goodbye". For me, saying goodbye means not last but it is only the right word to say.

Goodbye 2010 and Welcome 2011!!!

New Year, New Hope. Yes, I believe. I know that everyone of us are saying this words when another year will come. But if we try to notice about HOPE, I know that hope is always there to us. If you think that 2010 is a bad year to you,I will advice you friend, " don't lost hope". Before I'll say finally welcome to 2011, I want only to say "thank you" for 2010 because that year made me strong because of the challenges that I've encountered in my life.

1.1.11. Is 1 a lucky number? How do you celebrated the 1st event of the year? Is it happy, happier or happiest?

My family and I celebrated our New Year at the Mira Hills, why? Because at the Mira Hills, we celebrated our first family reunion of the year. But before 1.1.11 came, we prepared our media noche like spaghetti and barbecue. I greeted also my family, friends and classmates a "Happy Hew Year" because I know that this is the only thing I can do for them for the 1st day of the year. Now, I welcome 2011 and I hope that this year will give me a more blessings especially to my family. BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What Christmas means to me?!!

Christmas is an event most anticipated Christians all over the world. The Philippines is known to have the longest Christmas season. Christmas in the Philippines is always a festive occasion. Why? It's because if we heard the word "ber" it means it's Christmas.

LOVE. I do believe that "love" is the most important or most significant of Christmas. How do we show our love to our family, friends, special someone and of course to God during this Christmas? Through gifts? For me, gifts are very useless unless it came from the heart of the person who gave that gift to you. We show our love to our loved one's by simply greeting them a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" but of course it must come from the deepest part of our heart.

UNITY. God wants unity this Christmas especially us people. Not only Christmas seasons but it must be everyday.

PEACE. Of course, if there is a unity there is a peace, am I right? But in this part we must forgive our enemy or foe so that our Christmas will be peace and merry.

Christmas is the time when relatives and friends visiting each other so there were always people traveling and visiting with great joy. I always thought that was what Christmas was all about: LOVE, UNITY & PEACE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

"Magandang Pagsasamahan Tungo sa Maayos at Maunlad na Lipunan"

Call it a clan
Call it a tribe, call it a family
Whatever you call it
Whoever you are
You need one...

Like in our society. Society needs people or us because without us we cannot say that,"that is a society." Society is composed of people, people who have care, love and concern for it.
All of us have a dream in our society, isn't? And I believe that we have only one dream in our society and that is a peaceful society. But my question is, who made our society? Is it God or the people that surrounds the society? Whoever between them I will say "thank you". Because you've given us a peace, clean and order society. But as the year going by, the society that you've made is opposite right now; dirty and disorder. Also this time , some people blaming the society because their lives was miserable. I believe that society has no fault on that because it depends on you and us. COOPERATION. That is my other dream in our society. I loved our society but as of now, the thing that I want in our society is different. Actually, I have a lot of dreams about on our society like no war, no competition. But only a simple dream/wish to our society and that is understanding with each other.
Fellow students and friends, we must cooperate to the government because I believe that the government knows the best about on our society.
I know that all of us did a bad things before in our society but this is not the last time to correct our bad doings. We must learn from our mistakes and try to obey the programs/organizations for the sake of our society. Not only to yourself but for all of us.

SEMESTRAL BREAK

IT'S VACATION TIME!!!

It's very nice to hear that word, I'm right? I know that you and I smiled after our principal announced that before.

Our semestral break started on October 23,2010 and it ends November 1. During our semestral break I had a lot of doings especially in household chores. In the morning, I was doing my responsibility as a child in our home. And in the afternoon, I was busy in watching my favorite dramas/movies.

In November 1, it's ALL SOUL'S DAY, my family and I went to the cemetery to visit the tomb of my beloved grandfather and relatives. We brought candles, flower and also snacks to eat. Before we go home, we prayed together for the peace of our beloved grandfather and relatives. And at exactly 6:30 p.m, we went at Mr. Donut to eat and after that we went home.

November 2, was not a holiday so meaning there is a class but my parents do not want me to go in school because they expecting that only a few students will come to school. At 3:00 p.m, we went again to the cemetery to visit them. The things we've done last November 1 is the same on November2,2010 but in November 1 we went to Jollibee to eat.

For me, I enjoyed so much my vacation or our Semestral Break. And now, It's the time to study again and to continue our lessons.
