"Change:It Starts With Me"

Everything starts from small things or an easier one. So change must starts from ourselves first.

Days are passing while we are growing and a lot of things are changing.Change is the solution of our problem. If we want to become better and improve, we must change especially the bad things and our bad attitudes. Change can help us to reach our dreams and goals in life. As a youth I have to change a lot of things, my lifestyle and my attitude. And I hope by doing this I can say that I am a better person I will be happy and contented.

Change is also the solution to all the problems of our country that are facing right now such as corruption, poverty and many more. Our leaders should change their way in governing our country so that our country will become progressive.

Change must starts from us-youth because we are the hope of our country.

4th Kannawidan

Kannawidan is a celebration in which Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte were separated as a separate province. And we are celebrating this on January 31 until the 6th day of February. A lot of events were done such as Trade Fair in which the cities of Ilocos Sur displayed their different products and handicrafts.

The celebration started with a mass at 5:30 in the afternoon and followed by a procession with 41 patrons, this number of patrons corresponds to the number of cities in Ilocos Sur. Many people came especially those who came from the different cities of Ilocos Sur. After the procession there was a free dinner at the Plaza Salcedo compliment by the Provincial Government of Ilocos Sur. Every night there was a show and some artists were their guests.

This Kannawidan is really an enjoyable celebration.

Reflection

Time flies so fast...It's another grading period again.

In the third grading period I've learned and discovered a lot of things. Such as making web design by using Microsoft Front page 2003. Everyday we were enjoying making our project, the web design and it's all about the tourist spots and beautiful spots here in Vigan City. And by this project I discovered that Vigan is a place that we must be proud.

This fourth grading period I hope that I will learn a lot of things. And I will enjoy my last grading period here in Ilocos Sur National High School.

Essence of Christmas

As Ber months come we can see many Christmas decorations such as Christmas lights, lanterns and others. We can hear different Christmas songs and musics, many children are going home to home to carol. But what is the true essence of Christmas?

We Christians believe that Christmas is the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. And we are celebrating this in the 25th day of December. We are celebrating this special season by our own simple way. Like preparing different kinds of foods, going home to home to carol and others. But the true essence of Christmas is giving, sharing, forgiving and loving. We should share and give of what we have. We must know how to forgive. And especially we should love one another because we are all people of God. Christmas is also a time for a family bonding and to stay together and see each other.

Giving, sharing, forgiving and loving, is the true essence of Christmas.
