Kannawidan Festival :)))

Ilocos Sur especially Vigan is branded as the Heart of Ilocandia by the Philippine Historical Committee. It’s a province very rich in culture and heritage.

Kannawidan festival is an occasion to strengthen the Ilocano culture, recognize Ilocos Sur’s sons and daughters who brought honor to their province, celebrate abundant harvest or just to celebrate the Ilocano spirit that continues to drive locals to boost their home province.  Kannawidan means traditions and this province got to showcase all what she has. Last January 29 to February 3, 2014 several activities were lined up for the celebration. There was the tribal performance of the cultural communities of Ilocos Sur which is so fascinating. Partuat ken Patanor Trade Fair showcased the products of the province such as longganisa, bagnet, garlic, bibingka, tinubong and many other foods including handicrafts.  A battle of brains and beauty was witnessed during the Saniata ti Ilocos Sur pageant.

It was a fun-filled week of celebration of the Kannawidan Festival in Ilocos Sur.

New Year New Me :)))

Exciting New Year is upon us again. Like every Monday of each week, it reminds us about the endless possibilities of new beginnings. Forget about the past, let us grab the carabao by the horns and make our future better!

For me New Year is wonderful day. I spent it with my family. We cook and make many tasty things. And we usually do not sleep, we,ll just watch television  or go to relative and friend’s houses and congratulate each other with New year wishes.  When the new year comes around it seems like the perfect time for self-improvement. Even though I’ve always failed my New Year’s resolutions, every year I promise myself that this time will be different. Each time after about a month I’ve given up. Why do I even bother? I don’t feel that bad when I break my resolutions but sometimes I wish I could do better.

But this year I’m going to stop giving up. I’m going to stop disappointing myself. I’m going to push myself to live up to my own expectations, while at the same time trying to make sure those expectations aren’t unreasonable.

Second to the LAST!!!! :)

Second to the last!! J

It's not yet the end. J

I've gathered so many thoughts and ideas again this time. We performed different activities and exercises. We continued discussing about HTML. It was really great because I have learned how to use the notepad using different types of html tags.

       I hope that I've done more some improvement now than the past two gradings. J J J

Climate Change

Climate change is a tangible problem and its existence can no longer be denied. It is one of the most important scientific, economic threats facing to the earth.

There are many factors lead to climate change, such as greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, fossil fuels. Even though it would be self-deception to believe that humans had nothing to do with it, the fact is that human activities caused negative effects on climate change. More people develop more natural resources, cut more trees, use more fossil fuels, produce more wastes, build more roads, dams and cities, infect more soil, water and air, and contribute more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, which may lead to the ozone depletion and global warming.

However, all of us can play vital part of the climate change solution. As a resident, we can ensure that governments recognize the importance of global warming and follow through on their promises. 

Love, the Essence of Christmas

    Christmas is a time to renew bonds of love. It's a wonderful time when loved ones can show appreciation for each other.

          It's also a great time to use that love to build bridges of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share.  All have problems like we do, no matter who they are or where they come from. Every day is like Christmas for us because Jesus is so good to us every day, but this time is extra special because He pours out His love in extra measure. We feel His love from loved ones, acquaintances, and even strangers. There's just something about Jesus' birthday that turns people's hearts and minds to peace and love and goodwill. 

                   Love is the Essence of Christmas!!! :D

Equal Rights; Equal Oppurtunities

   There are many kinds of discrimination among other people. Taking for instance, the discrimination towards women. This discrimination is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. It severely limits the ability of women or girls and the communities they live in.

              Gender- based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative outcomes. We should be treated similarly. There should be no difference between the boys and the girls. We must not put down others just for ourselves. Because we are all born equal. There is no richer or poorer. There should be no gap or boundary towards others. We must respect others by what and who they are.

                 We are all equal, we have all equal rights and equal opportunities.

             

   October is the English Month Celebration. Every year that we are celebrating it and now the theme is “Going Global through English Language”.

                A language which is recognized and understood by people everywhere is very important. In many part of the world, English has been established. In most countries around the world the English language can be found in many forms like in international news. English is truly the English language. English seems to be emerging, if it has not already arrived, as a global language. If this were to become, it would lessen the number of mistranslations. It would make communications across much easier.

                English may not be the best choice, but for me it  is the best choice for an international language.
