New Year, New Me!

Every new year were making a new years resolution. Like me, I want to change my character inorder to make life happier ang stronger to fight trials.

Every person has an attitude. Sometimes I am good and sometimes bad. I want to make my life full of happiness and full of love. I want to change my bad attitudes and improve my good attitude.

Forget the past and try to make the present fruitful. Fruitful in the sense that change for the better, try to accept criticism because this will help me a lot toward the fullfillment of a new me.

Despite the trials, I will try to move on, make a change and start a new me. Little by little this new me will be appreciated by others of I do it by heart.

My Dream, My Future!

Every man dream to have a good future, good future, good future in the sense that you will have a stable job and happy family.

My dream is to finish my studies, find a good job, help my parents in the future and build a happy and contented family.

For now I am still confuse to what course will I take. I still don't have any idea to what course will I take so I am asking information to what job which is in demand used the best course filled to me.

Since my dream is to become successful someday, i am very lenient in choosing my career so that my dream will come time. Step by step I will try to reach my goal with the guidance of my parents. 

Change, It Starts With Me!

Change is a word that can not be done in one click. If you want to change you cannot do it in a matter of second or month. It will take time to change.

Change starts with me in a sense that its only me who do whatever I want for myself and not to anybody. I want to change for better and for my future and the only way is to be inspired to make this change achieve.

I want to change myself especially my study habits.Before I don't care if I got low or high score. Basta I came to school, attend my class sometimes forgot to submit my projects. Its only now I realize that all those things are important to improve my grades. I want to do this change but little by little, be inspired and in a matter of time I hope I can do it with the help of my teachers, parents and friends.

So change starts with Me and it will take time.

Kannawidan Festival!

Fifteen years ago, a noble idea developed in the minds of a group of civic spirited Ilocanos who wanted to promote cultural awareness and preserve the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ilocos Norte. They wanted to rekindle in the youth and future generations the pride of their heritage. The magnificent idea developed and is now a living reality, KANNAWIDAN, the Iloko Foundation of Arts and Culture. Kannawidan has its beginnings in 1992 when Guia Monroy Valenciano, then vice-president of PCI Bank, began sounding out to friends about establishing a museum in Laoag City. Her son Al, an artist, and the late Perlita Alviar-Foz, who once served as a curator of the Ayala Museumin Vigan, encouraged her. The idea caught on fast. Among the instant converts were: Ogie Balmaceda Alviar and Alice Raval Ventura, the wife of then city mayor Cesar Ventura. Together with Guia and Al, they called on Francis Ablan, then Caltex Phils. President.

On January 29 to February 04, 2014 several activities were lined up for the celebration. Various festivities were staged from trade, agriculture, aqua and livestock while a display of farm products opened the six-day festival. To carve young talents in the field of arts, an array of talent competitions gathered the youth from choral, marching bands, traditional street dancing, traditional music ensemble , dance drama, traditional folk dancing , painting, design making and photo exhibits. Residents displayed products under the One-Town-One-Product (OTOP) namely: onions, garlic products from pickled and dried garlic and garlic polvoron for Sinait town; bamboo products such as trays and baskets for Cabugao; buri palm leaves products such as mat, bags, baskets, fan, hats for San Juan; corn husk bags, flowers, curtains, slippers for Magsingal; local wine called for San Ildefonso; sugar cane products namely vinegar, basi, balikutsa, muscovado and made of rice cake and raw sugar topped with coconut fat for Santa Maria; ˜nata de cocoa for San Esteban; blacksmith products, knives, bolos, scythes for Santa; vegetables for Santa Catalina and yellow ginger or turmeric for Gregorio Del Pilar. A battle of brains and beauty was witnessed during the Saniata ti Ilocos Sur pageant.
