INSIGHT ABOUT KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL

          Kannawidan Ylocos Festival was also an occasion to strengthen the Ilocano culture, recognize Ilocos Sur's son's and daughters who brought honor to their province. It starts on January 29 to February 03. Various festivities were staged from trade, agriculture, aqua and livestock.

          This festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. We should be proud with this because we are having this for tourists to appreciate our rich culture. Moreover, let us all preserve these cultures for next generations and this will serve as our trademarks as an Ilocano.

          I hope that this years occasion will be more successful than last year. And hope we'll enjoy these festival even in a short period of time.

3rd GRADING REFLECTION

          

                                       I'm READY....

  Every grading period seems to be a challenge to us students. A lot of activities to be done. Whether we like it or not, we have no choice instead to do it. As this grading period ends, I know I learned more things and strategies like in the past grading periods.

             But, before it ends like this, I know there were so many challenges and problems I encountered during this period. Some of those are: busy in doing a lot of assignments, projects, researches, not enough time even though if we have Christmas Break, doing the group project alone. There were also some activities outside the campus like the BSP camp in Brgy. Fortune, Marikina City in five days. And as we participate in those activities, absences in our class occurred. So I don’t have enough time to pass all my requirements. But I learn something in this grading period, and that is to budget the time in doing my requirements so I can pass it earlier.

            For the Fourth Grading Period, I know that it is more stressful and more challenges to be face. But I’m ready to face those challenges because I am confident of what I’ve learn from my mistakes in the last grading periods.

NEW YEAR!...NEW ME!

Happy 2015...

New Year is not new to us. And every New Year comes; each of us has our own belief that we are doing. But whenever New Year comes, some of us make a list of what to change and what to do in the coming years. At the end of the year each of us are trying to change the bad characteristics that we have done in that year, and were trying to surpass those wrong deeds and change it to good deeds. But are we really changing those?

For me, I don’t believe in those things. It is automatic to a person sometimes to make a mistake because all of us commit mistakes. In those mistakes, we should coup up and try to avoid it and we must put in our mind that those mistakes will guide us to face the challenges in our way. Every New Year, I learned from those mistakes and I get stronger from those. It is better to be positive thinker person, to see the victory in challenges.

Essence of Christmas

Joy to the World

            

     We are in that special season again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind.  But, wait a minute! What does Christmas mean to you? What was the real essence of Christmas?

           Today’s Christmas is no longer a celebration of Christ and happiness, but it is now a celebration of now a fake, Santa Claus. The Christmas of the past was once a beautiful celebration of the birth of Christ. Families would come together to enjoy the holidays together in a peaceful way. We must know what’s the real essence of Christmas is. Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of Christmas which is the true love of God and humanity. Like what is said in the bible verse John 3:16 “For god so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have eternal life.” So we must remember the real essence of Christmas, it is not about those gifts, decorations, and lights, instead it is the spirit of giving and forgiving.

               

  “Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.”

Climate Change

                

                                                 You Control Climate Change......

            Homes, towns, cities, states, nations, and countries around the world are all addressing the issue of global climate change. Individuals are beginning to realize the importance of greenhouse gas emissions and keeping our environment clean.

                Climate change is a “change in climate which is attributed directly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods. We must protect our places in this climate change because it may cause illnesses and many more sickness. It can also cause death if we didn’t prevent this problem in our country.

                Hand by hand in preventing climate change so our life in the future will have a good quality and a good surroundings will show. Prevent climate change now before it would be too late.
