Kannawidan Festival

Ilocos Sur is one of the most beautiful provinces located in the northern part of Luzon. It is a province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals conceived an annual festival called the "Kannawidan Festival" that highlights these cultural traditions that the Ilocanos are proud of.

Kannawidan Festival- a celebration that lasts from the last week of January up to the first week of February. This year, this annual celebration is one of the most memorable events that the Ilocanos are proud and happy of. The main highlight for me which are the stations of each division of our province that contains and displays the trademark products of each division. This event became so helpful because each one of us gained some knowledge about the products that we Ilocanos must be proud of. Additionally, some artists from diffferent TV stations had the chance to come and entertain Ilocanos. I am one of the happiest and most satisfied because this Kannawidan Festival fed my brain with knowledge and fed my heart with happiness.

Being an Ilocano is a privelage for my province is rich in culture and traditions. With the help of Kannawidan Festival, we were able to show off to the world the beauty of our beloved Ilocos Sur.

Change: Starts With Me

                       

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” — Leo Tolstoy

Each one of us tend to always dream of changing the chaotic world into a peaceful one yet, little do we know that in order for the world to gain good changes, we must always start it with ourselves. 

Everyone has an opinion on what is wrong with the world, yet few will do the work to improve their own lives. The cycle always run like this, many would dream about changing yet nobody tends to start it with themselves. We must always put in our minds that if you want to change the reality start it with yourself first little by little and attend to your own personal development. I can improve the world by consciously looking around and thinking, at every opportunity, How can I help? The most powerful way one can change the world isn’t simply by doing one thing, but instead is a way of life revolving around the concept of altruism.   In doing so, little improvements will follow you.

Changing the world begins with improving who we are on the inside. We each have a unique identity and our own distinct thoughts. These thoughts often propel us to act. So, by mindfully centering our thoughts in a positive direction, we can improve our actions and thus our character. We can lead change and make our world a better place if we start with ourselves

New Year, New Me

                               

People have always been really hopeful in the New Year, believing that whatever terrible things happened for the last year will remain in the past. People look at the New Year as a fresh start. That is why every year, people like us tend to make their long lists of New year resolution with the tagline, "New year, new me!"


Every first day of the year, many people jump on the resolution  and think about improving themselves, and I'll admit I'm usually the first one to do the same. I always tend to tell myself that I should start my year freshly with no negativity. For this year, firstly I would like to change how I treat myself. Love yourself. Accept yourself. Forgive yourself and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things. " This is what Leo F. Buscaglia's famous phrase that taught me how important it is to love myself more than anyone else can do. I have come to reflect and realize that I became so hard on myself. That I was able to give everything to everyone while I forgot that I have myself. This tough realization was able to hit me so hard, for I have came up with the thought that during one's darkest moment, me, myself and I will always be the one to help me.

 It may be cliche to say this but new year is really a fresh start for one's self to improve and to be the better version of themselves but it will be better if everyday, we always strive to make our mistakes go right and become the better version of ourselves. Everyday is a new chance, we just have to believe, hope and have faith.

Reflection: Third Grading

School helps children to develop important skills, knowledge and values that set them up for further learning and participation in their community. School helps them to make the most of life opportunities.

Our ICT or the Information and Communications Technology has started during second week of August. And during this short period of time, we were able to learn how to design our web pages using our research papers as our main content.  But as usual, the life of a student is really hard especially in terms of time management in making our requirements and activities. But with the help of our teacher who continues to guide and motivate us, I was able to survive the second grading period.  

As what Napoleon Hill quoted, "Education comes from within: you get it by struggle, and effort and thought." This clearly means that in order to learn and gain new knowledge, we need to experience different struggles and we need to sacrifice our time and efforts.

The True Essence Of Christmas

The meaning of Christmas is found in the very word itself: Cristes Maesse or “Christ’s Mass,” an Old English term for “celebration for Christ.” Beyond traditional December festivities, however, the true meaning of Christmas celebrates Jesus Christ’s birth and honors His divinity, His perfect example of charity, and the significance of His impact on the world.

  The essence of Christmas is not gifts, is certainly not goodies. Not even the things that you do. Not the decoration that makes your house look good. The essence of Christmas lies in the name of almighty Lord above. For he has the power to change the World. The true essence of Christmas is spreading love not only on loved ones but also on every single person around you. Christmas for me is being with my family, eating together, bonding with each other and filling the house with joy and love. The essence of Christmas is not measured on how tall the Christmas tree is, on how bright the lanterns are, and on how many food were prepared. Thus, the essence of Christmas is found on wide smiles of family members. On how they celebrate even just in a simple way. The true essence of Christmas is having a complete family, a complete family that celebrates a memorable day with a lot of love and joy.

         May this Christmas bring you and your family joy, peace and happiness in your life and gladden your heart. may you realize the deepest value and essence of this festival. stay blessed and be a blessing for others. Merry Christmas to all.

Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga Para sa Lahat ng Bata

Isang sa mga mahahalagang ipinagdidiriwang sa buwan ng Nobyembre ang Children's Month Celebration. Ang nasabing tema sa taong ito ay "Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga Para sa Lahat ng Bata."

Ang pagkakaroon ng isang pamilya ay isang napakalaking pagpapasiya gunit ang pag-aanak ay isang panibagong malaking hamon sapagkat kalakip nito ang napakaraming responsobilidad na kabalikat ng bawat mga magulang. Ang siyam na buwan  na pagdadalang-tao ng isang ina ay puno ng maraming pisikal, mental at pinansyal na pagsubok. Ngunit sa paglago ng panahon habang lumalaki ang isang bata, ay nangangailangan ito ng sapat na atensiyon at oras mula sa mga magulang. Responsibilad ng isang nanay at tatay ang tamang pag-aaruga sa anak sa ng walang pinipiling panahon. Walang bawian ang sitwasyong ito. Hindi ito parang pagsubo lamang ng kanin na kapag napaso ka ay iluluwa mo na lamang ng basta-basta. Susubukin nito ang haba ng pagtitiyaga at pagtittis  ng isang tao nang walang kapalit na sahod. Nagsisimula ito sa tamang nutrisyon ng bata sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakain sa bata ng mga masusustansiyang pagkain tatlong beses sa isang araw. Karapatan rin ng isang bata ang makapaglaro at makisalamuha sa ibang tao upang malinang ang kaniyang kakakyahang makipagkomunikasyon. Kakailanganin nito ang magkatuwang na pwersa ng isang ama't ina upang mapalaking mabuti ang ang anak. Nararapat na magsimula  sa tahanan ang tamang edukasyon, asal at disiplina. Hindi dapat idaan sa pananakit ang pagdidisiplina sa mga bata upang ito'y hindi magdulot ng labis na takot sa mga bata.

 Kung ang isang bata ay magagabayan nang may disiplina at prinsipyo, siya ay lalaking isang mabuting mamamayan ng ating bansa. Kung kaya't nakabatay sa tamang pag-aaruga ang  kaunlaran at kahihinatnan ng isang bansa.
