Kannawidan Festival!

  It's Kannawidan!, the Treasures of Ilocandia! Yes! The festivities dubbed the "3rd Kannawidan Festival", and Vice-Governor Savellano formed a committee to lead the preparation of programs that are expected to be attended by balikbayans, foreign and local tourists who were impressed by the holding of the 1st and 2nd Kannawidan Celebrations that was started and launched by our Vice-Gov. Savellano himself.
       Many Bigueños and other people from different localities want to experienced the Libot, it is a Filipino tradition where were we marched along the streets together with our Patron Saints. It was on January 28 when it began, and also it is the opening event. But before that, a concelebrated mass was held at St.Paul Cathedral. On January 29, "Partuat ken Patanor Trade Fair" was held and a very nice concert of the True Faith Band with Rada and Lovi Poe. Delphic games was held on January 30 which you can sight the different crafts demo, visual & design artworks. It is also on that day where the remaining makers and artists of the Living Treasures of the province where recognized and honored. There is also an intermission dance number presented by the Bayanihan Dance Company. On January 31, a horse race was held. This day is where we recognized & honored Fr. Jose Burgos and also the outrageous concert of Sarah Geronimo. On the 1st month of February, the Culture & Arts competition was held. There is also the Recognition & Awarding of SIGLAT Awards. And most importantly, the Saniata ti Ilocos Sur Pageant. On the 2nd day of February, various contests of the students were held. Some of these are Quiz Bee, Spot Painting & Iloco Poem Writing. A Kannawidan games was also made possible. There was also a scenario to recall, and that is the "Sarsuela Ilocana". It was a fun time having the BINGO game. And in the last day of the festival, the Battle of Bands was successfully launched.

       If  I only attend those events, maybe I could have more words to utter. But, atleast we visited it once, we have atleast the time to tour the whole coverage of the Trade Fair. I've seen many traditional cultures, ancient artworks made from woods and amazing veggies! LOL! Kannawidan Festival is really amazing! It's the perfect celebration I could ever imagine. Kannawidan is really a pleasure! The Pride of the Ilocanos-- KANNAWIDAN!

It's their Fiesta!

                   Every 25th day of January is such a momentous day to the Bigueños. Yes! Because it's their most-awaited fiesta. It is from January 16-31 every year.

              Even though I'm not one of them, we the CAT's of ISNHS made an entrance parade in commemoration for the upcoming occasion. I really really enjoyed marching, all eyes at our unit! How impressing! How proud we are! According to our commandant, we are the best among all the rest and that was proven by the Government Officials. Badly, I was not able to watched the Longganisa Festival and also I was not able to tour the bargain stands and most importantly, the CARNIVAL! We lock of time and our schedules are very hectic. We always used to burn our midnight oils as you can see, the three of us were all in SSC classes. Oh common! That's not about being boastful, it's the sense of reality.. right?! But, anyway it is not connected to the topic so never mind. LOL! Well, how sad! but it's just okay. There's still another year to come. And surely, I hope we can go and have fun there. For instance, January 25 is not that significant for me, all I know is that I enjoyed marching. We don't even have close relatives or even close friends of our family.

                  The Feast of Vigan is the very special day of St. Paul, their Patron Saint. This city was not only rich in traditional cultures but also with ancient mansions and native delicacies that people would surely love. It is also known as the "Most Friendly City", because of its clean & green ambiance. Come & visit the Heritage City of Vigan! Again, Happy Fiesta! Viva Vigan!

Insights this 3rd Grading Period

                  Learning is a conditioned response. The cognitive process of acquiring new skills or knowledge. A booster to learn something.

               There are lots of lessons that has been learned, explored and discovered this third grading period. Creating a blog, is the first and topmost skill we have to erudite. It is also the main and the center of everything learned inside the field of ICT IV. Right? I've also learned to revert and change my template by designing it just the way I like and will surely loved by anyone. I also learned to follow someone  I want to add, maybe a friend, a classmate or even my teacher. Being socialize and mutually connected to them is such a great deal. I also learned to create a post, edit it, save it, or even publish it in public at your own thought. I didn't encountered any problems when it comes to posting, and all main fields pertaining to blog. But I guess, there's one little thing I can't mastered. and that is on how to relocate the codes in a blog skin to make it just the way I like. LOL! things just going to be crazy!. Well, I didn't do  anything to overcome such problems but all I know is that "Practice makes Perfect" which pinpoints that learning with ICT IV is such a mastery which pertains a series of skills and by experience we learn something. A man itself is the professor to his/ her chosen field of learning.

                Moving on.. I will move forward as I passed the way through the world of learning and exploring ICT IV. I will be more serious enough in the sense that I will not commit mistake and will be the reason for my regret. I will try my best and put-on more hard-works to fulfill my successions. Thank you ma'am Eve.

Renewed Start; A New 2011!

                 A new year. A new beginning. A fresh new start once again. A golden treasure box of waiting dreams? unopened. Everyone is happy as the new year brings out a tide of fresh air and a lease of a fresh new start,in a rather undocumented way. It's always a fresh new chapter. But every renewed start always requires some motivation and some inspirational new year resolutions to make that crossing the threshold a little more pleasant and a little less apprehensive.

               I was writing my diary this morning dated December 31, 2010 and i realized that this would be the last time I would write 2010and it would be the last day I would live in that year. These thoughts made me feel somewhat sad like I was saying goodbye to an old friend, but also optimistic that I would be saying hello to a new one tomorrow as I welcomed in 2011! Another chapter in the story of my life. The first day of a new year is like standing at the beginning of a very large bridge that I am about to walk over. I cannot see the other side and I have no idea where the bridge will take me on what it will fell like to walk upon if I must, I am ever going to get to where I am planning to go. And so, I move forward, one step at a time, the foot in front of the other, setting a clear intention that I want the experience of moving across to be a pleasant one, I remember that it is the journey and not the destination that really matters, and I begin to enjoy the gentle wind upon my face and the sweet sounds of the birds flying above and the water flowing below. Our journey through life is very much like this. We have no idea where it will take us sometimes but we just need to keep walking because that is the important thing. To just be here now. To just keep showing up. Starting over is something that everybody loves to do. Even more when it comes to new years. Resolutions are made and very few are actually achieved or followed through. People make such a big deal of celebrating the new year and think about the new year will be like or what things they want to resolve on that time frame. It makes me wonder why they think that just because a new year begins everything from the past year will magically fade away. Atleast, that is the impression some people give off when it comes to new year. One of my New Year's resolution is to arrived early at school and put on more hardships and more attention to my studies, and consequently, to diminish the inferiority that covers my identity.

                However, New Year is also about becoming a better person and climbing onto a superior plane as a human being. I do not necessarily mean a plane designed by the morals set down by society; as right and wrong are rather relative terms whose definition varies from person to person, but a plane which at the endof the day,gives you that feeling that as an individual you have evolved.

The True Essence of Christmas

                 I wonder why, little minds keep on telling and hoping the presence of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Perhaps, it's but normal, because even on my youngster years, I also think of it too. But I realize that, its a big LIE believing that Santa Claus is real because its not his birthday at all, it's Jesus very special day! And that's the truth, a matter of fact & definitely true.

           The true essence of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ through gift-giving and gift-receiving  with the aid of love and sharing, purely came fom our hearts! We must share our blessings not only on Christmas but for our everyday life. And for instance, we must learn to forgive our enemies, be friends with and owe them heartily. On the other hand, seroiusly speaking talking about how I spent my Christmas eve is a lot of fun and quite moody. A lot of fun in the sense that we are complete as a one whole family. And we spent the eve with hapinness and enjoyment. We even had our Noche Buena that makes our night fully bloomed. Indeed, it is quite moody in the sense that I spent the night manipulating my facebook account for 3 hours. LOL! I get an obsessed teary eyes & dumb messy eyebags upon waking up in the morning. HAHA! So, what a jocular experience I had! It's just make me smile and I just laugh everytime i recall it. 

            Christmas is the time for everything! Everything in the sense that it conquers all. Yes! it is usually the birth of our saviour, the time to 'tis the season with love! Infact, Christmas is all about love and sharing. And that's exactly the true essence of Christmas.

Insights on the Values Month Celebration..

               I don't know where to start but surely know where to begin.. haha! (It's just the same) LOL! On the Values Month Celebration, there are lots of activities done. I don't exactly know where to focus. Is it directly on the scenario of this month celebration? or should I go with the theme? hehe.. Well, let's take it vice-versa.

               One thing that marks my mind is the launching of film-viewing. The movie is really full of fun, entitled Hating Kapatid. LOL! It is a movie with a multi-task media. It is a comedy, drama, and extremely fun. I really love it! There are lots of projects done on this month but probably, I forgot it, . On the other hand, the theme, come on! Let's take it  over! The theme encourage us to be united in the sense that in order for us to be in a one whole nation. Standstill intact in our society.

                Moving on, another step to erudite. Above all, the Values Month Celebration is really full of satisfaction, experience and enjoyment. Hoping for the next year's celebration. That's all.

Sembreak: Random Highlights..

          

           How I wish everyday is a break! I really want a very long vacation. I remember its September! the sembreak was soon to come. Woohoo! How nice. hehe! I'm so excited with that upcoming vacation. It's been a long long time dude!

             I still have many things I wanna do but semestral break is almost over. Classes have already resumed yesterday for most schools and we’ll be having ours next week. It makes my stomach churn just by thinking about it. Here comes another dose of stress.

          We’re supposed to leave Manila this evening and I doubt I’d have more time for Internet surfing later. At home, I will be busy preparing my things before returning to our house. It actually excites me to shop for new school stuffs. I’ll have to buy new clothes too.

          

Anyway, I’m listing the top ten highlights of my semestral vacation this academic year. In random order:

1. My home stay. Spent two weeks acting like the house mistress. It was fun, but also exhausting. The house is a real mess since everybody became busy at work and in school.

2. Bonding time with my family and friends.

3. Guitar Lesson. this in five whole I always used to play the guitar early in the morning and the time before I sleep.

4.My Diary. Finished this in five whole days. I got pretty bored halfway but I finished it anyway.

5. Taylor Swift & Miley Cyrus. Became my very favorite musicians, and both inspired the creation of one of the major characters in my story.

6. The TV. I missed watching TV! Can’t have one in my room. Time is barely enough for schoolwork's. This vacation though I had fun watching Hello Kitty, Disney and other local shows and soaps.

7. Resort outing with SK friends. Nice way to relax after an exhilarating semester! The pool water was so hot I felt my skin perspiring even under water. Karaoke was fun too, even though I didn’t actually sing.

8. Meeting my friends back home. It was a funny touchy-feely occasion, joking with my friends how they desperately missed me.

9. Facebook addiction. It's fun.nice.&.awesome! I always used to open my FB account everytime I want, and I spent 5hours so far as my allotted time.. LOL!

10. Making this blog. Naturally.

           

       

Friends, it’s still good we had a break, right? ^-^'
