The Season of Commemoration

 

                                           It was delightful, vibrant, and most of all colorful.

The Vigan City Longganisa Festival, a week-long event, was joyful and cheery on January 22. On a blazing hot afternoon, a sea of people patiently waited in the side streets to catch a peek of the Longganisa street dancing. 

The Longganisa Festival provides as a platform for showcasing local talent in addition to showcasing our delicious longganisa delicacy. One of the main attractions of this yearly festival, in which many provinces from the Ilocos area participate, is the Longganisa street dancing competition. Street dancers wear vibrant, generally silky clothing, and some even sport jeweled accessories (traditional woven product of Ilocos). With seductive smiles on their faces that match their dances around Vigan's streets, street dancers demonstrate their creativity and grace.

The Vigan City Fiesta Educ Night, an annual event that honors the city's culture and education, serves as the festival's opening defining moment. 

The event strives to promote Vigan's cultural history and promote the city as a tourist attraction. The Ilocano people can also use it as a chance to display their abilities in dancing, music, and culinary arts. The city's soul is visualized through Vigan's alluring beauty, allowing others to appreciate it.

A little bit closer

 

Another quarter has passed, and with it comes new knowledge. This second quarter, students are excited and optimistic that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and fun activities will be done. And I was not disappointed since this second quarter, I learnt a lot.

This grade is quite impressive for us. We've put a lot of effort, tears, and sweat into our school performance. We tend to put in a lot of effort, sacrifice, and responsibility in all we do in order to attain our goals before we leave Special Science Class.

It's fun to be a student. Throughout the months of the journey, we experienced numerous hardships, I liked spending time with my friends. We make a lot of memories. Every moment we had together was valued. This grade has been a terrific and worthwhile experience.

A bright and Colorful New Year’s Eve!

 

Goodbye 2022 and hello 2023. All the events that took place into my life are now just memories, whether it was good or bad, happy or sad. As days goes by and clock ticks before the midnight of December 31st 2022 my minds starts to think of the past realizing what have I done right nor wrong to my life. Looking back at the times where me & my family are having a lovely evening as we wait for the new year. It is priceless.

                    Every day of your life is a new beginning, not just the first day of the year. You can make Daily Resolutions, not just New Year Resolutions. Any day is suitable for making them. Regard every day as the beginning of your new, better, and happier life. Start every day of the year with feelings of happiness and with the anticipation that great and wonderful things are going to happen. Regardless of your circumstances, begin every day of the year with a smile, hope and expectations. You are not cheating yourself, because this attitude, if you persevere with it, would make you a more positive and happy person. Every day, restate your goals and your decisions for your new, happy and successful life. At the same time, be open to new ideas and opportunities, and for ways to achieve our goals.

                      A New Year's resolution is important, particularly for those who want to be the best version of themselves. I would advise people who are making New Year's resolutions to be consistent, determined, and to trust the process. I hope that each of us will strive to be the best we can be until we finally realize we have succeeded. I'm looking forward to the change that each of us is bringing about. I know that the year 2022 was difficult for us, so let us work together to make a better change in 2023. May God continue to bless our lives. Happy New Year!

A Joyful Experience

 

                         

Christmas commemorates the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ who preached love, brotherhood and forgiveness and New Year celebrations signify welcoming the New Year and to bid farewell to the old one. This has a much deeper significance. As such every day of our life is new. The entire world is getting ready to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year. Children wait eagerly for the gifts Santa Clause will bring for them.        

                    As this is my final blog post for the year (2022). "In the haste and scrambling to complete more responsibilities, the true joy of Christmas can be found. When we put the Savior at the center of the season, we experience the true joy of Christmas.

                    Christmas is a time to renew bonds of love. It's a wonderful time when loved ones can show appreciation for each other. It's also a great time to use that love to build bridges of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness. Christmas is best enjoyed when it isn't centered on decorations, gifts, or festivities, but when love is at its core. Love is the essence of Christmas. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share.  Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love. It's a time to remember that the world is made up of people like us and to see them for who they are inside. All have problems like we do, no matter who they are or where they come from.                   

                      If people start loving one another just as fellow human beings, irrespective of the nationality, race, socio-economic status or gender, the world will become a much better place to live in. There will be no wars or disputes, when people become more tolerant and sympathetic towards other individuals and consider them as their brothers. When all learn to forgive others for their wrong doings, there will be no ill feelings left and all will be happy.
