Pride of Ilocano

     It started with a boom. The night sky was lit up with the colorful fireworks. The crowd was giddy with delight. The set of artists performed. Big speakers, loud music that made more the audience energetic. The atmosphere is full of happiness and joy. Opening of Kannawidan was indeed a success.
Everyday I go to school I always passed by the people who is exerting their efforts, working hard just to set-up, just to prepare the set location  (Tamag grounds) for Kannawidan. Working under the sun, lifting heavy materials, cleaning the area. They really made sure that everything is prepared. And yeah it is all worth it.
     Ilocos Sur is a province that is rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. And to share and show these treasures Ilocano conceived the Kannawidan Festival that lasts  from the last week of January up to the third week of February. Yes, the purpose of this celebration is to highlight the cultural traditions that we have. But the question, do people know this, especially the teenagers like me?. Are you just going there to watch your favorite bands and artists?. To experienced the rides?, or to just eat?. I know because I am included to the people who just go there without knowing its true mission and I am very sorry for that. But now that I know what this is all about I will now change the reason why would I go there. I will now go there not to witness the artists performance but to see the beauty that our province  possess. I will also try to make other know this, to be an eye opener to make its purpose served.  Remember the presence of the invited perfomers are just a bonus, an extra entertainment to the audience.
     Youth must know their province traditions, songs, dances, and other cultures, not only the trend and modern one.  But not only us, you, we all must not forget, continue to treasure, appreciate and keep it alive.

    Thank you for letting me know the giddiness of celebrating Kannawidan. For a person who haven't been to the celebration, this is indeed a helpful post.

Second Grading

          So this is the feeling to be like a grade-10 student it's so hard not just because of this subject but the combining forces of all. Sometimes I just want to give-up but I've started it and I have ti finish it, I must.      These are the things that I've learned in my ICT subject this grading. What is internet access, types of LAN's and wireless broadband, the web page, the URL and it's part, the protocol, domain, directory path, object name and spot. The HTML tags, the types of tags- stand-alone and container tags. How to make a web page, notepad and attributes. I'm not realy y familiar with the software or applications in a computer, thanks to this subject that reached me a lot of things, for adding my  knowledge about this.       Second grading is hard but I've also enjoyed it. Yes, it is stressful but at the end of the day we can always say that it is worth it.

Gift, give it back!

     The 25th of December, the day when we received our greatest gift, our saviour was born.      Christmas is one of the most awaited season if all people, especially we Filipinos. Excited to the gifts that we are to receive,  food that we would be eating, and of course to  the dress that we would be  wearing. The atmosphere are surrounded with positive emotions. We were so happy happy celebrating, drinking, laughing like its our last day but we didn't that not all are experiencing this.

It is not important how much you give because it the thought  that counts. Giving even you are also in need, giving wholeheartedly without waiting for return. Sharing without thin...

Changing Myself = Changing the World

     Every big things starts with a simple one. A journey starts with a single step. A million starts with penny. Changing the world is hard but if we try to be that single step, to be that penny to formed a million nothing is unreachable.      People usually put the blame on others, to rely than be an independent, to be a follower than a good leader, why? because it is more easy. But it is not easy to change if we don't start within ourselves. Making a change is a step by step process it is not easy as snap of your fingers, as blink of an  eye that can be done in just a second. It is a process in which the first step is can only done by me, you.      I want to change the world. Is it possible?, reachable, believable?. This sounds so heroic, a normal teenager like me is dreaming to make the world better which the higher rangkings, powerful, elite people can't be done. Yes, Politians is doing their best to eradicate other corroupt polit...
