My Dream, My Future

There is nothing more important to a person than his future. He goes through hardships and sacrifices to make what he envisions a reality. The future holds the satisfaction of oneself. Everyone wants to have a laid-back tomorrow. Nobody wants a vague one. Every person who wants to succeed strives hard to have a hold of a suite life.

For years, a number of profession has haunted me to be in transit to their embrace. Anything connected to English, the language, always shone upon me. It's as if it's calling for my name to be in sync with it. English had always been my high point ever since who knows when. I just love the subject and the subject loves me in return. Say we compliment each other? I love scribbling and writing my thoughts on paper.

I know for a fact that a lot are far better than me but my passion for the certain art can go beyond infinity. Having a passion for it led me to thinking of baiting a job connected to communication, so I'll study AB English and watch where my career goes in the future.

Change: It Starts With Me

Leaves fall on autumn. Graphite goes through a process to become a shining diamond. Everything changes. Nothing and no one in this world stays the same. So it's ironic if you tell a person to stay the same and not change at all.

Change do not only apply with the physical features. Mental, emotional and other aspects change through the years. Even likes change. One day I like you; The nest day, I'll be treating you as trash. Changing is normal. You can't restrain it. You can't control it. Once done, you can't really say it would stay just like that 'cause even the most powerful thing in the world called "love" fades at some point.

I am young, but I am not innocent. I am certainly not blind with all the cruelness the world is offering. I want to change anything that's not in it's proper order. So here I am, the child, the warrior.

Kannawidan: Festival of Traditions

There's a festivity that the whole of Ilocos Sur celebrates. It is the festival of traditions -- Kannawidan. Like any other festivals, there were shows set to entertain the Ilokanos. There were contests and pageants, and there were shops located at the side of the capitol which is in the heart of the city of Vigan, wherein people from neighboring towns and cities brought their wonderful products.

The Kannawidan Festival happens annually on the last days of January to the first days of the month of February. The festivity gives color and a bit of nostalgia to anyone who see the things ans series of events that are in store for them.

Nest year, the Kannawidan Festival will be again reaching our grounds. I hope it'll be as good or better than the previous years.

What's With the 25th of January?

The 25th of January marks the festival of the city from the North with cobble stone streets and vintage houses. It is also the conversion of St. Paul, the patron saint
of the city. This year, and probably and every year, the day started with a grand parade consisting of floats of different establishments, CAT officers and teachers of school located in Vigan, kings and queens of the variety of pageants sponsored by the city government and etc. People lined up on the streets with different businesses in hands -- watch the parade, get candies and some other stuffs, try their luck to see popular stars.

On another note, it was also the birthday of the first female president of the Philippines, and also the mother of the current ruler of the country. Her family celebrated her birthday by visiting her grave.

On another note again, a bus along the streets of Makati exploded which killed 5, and left many bruised. It was an attack no one had ever anticipated.
