     We do to know what the future holds but that for me that is what drives me to do better. The excitement I feel about the future is what motivates me to excel in things and wonder what would these achievements may bring me. As teenagers, most of us usually just goes with the flow of life, sometimes it can be scary because the future I limitless and unpredictable that a step may either grab us down or is a stepping stone for our success. Time flies really fast, it feels like just yesterday when it was the first day of class but now we are preparing ourselves for our completion. It was not an easy journey, the road were bumpy but that’s what builds us to learn more from our experiences.      We are now preparing for our completion, it is a bittersweet experience for me. There is a part of me that is happy because finally I will be stepping towards another chapter in my life and is coming close to my goal. A part of me also are having flashback...

     Change. It's a word that carries immense power and potential. We often hear people say, "If you want to see change in the world, be the change." This simple statement holds a profound truth: change starts with me.      Change is a constant and something that is inescapable. We change for a purpose, but unless we dig deeper, it's impossible to say if it will be good or harmful for us. Although changing oneself can be difficult, most changes are for the better as we mature. Change does not necessarily mean leaving behind the past, but for me, it means using the past as an opportunity for growth that will help me become more mature and aware of my surroundings. Yes, there are many things that influence us, but the truth is that we can only change if we make the effort; it is not something that is forced; rather, by considering who we are, we try to change for the best.      As I reflect on this notion, I realize that change is not an ex...

     This year has gone by pretty fast, and maybe for some it is quite boring but I say it is not. Many challenges have tested me throughout this year, countless battles that I've yet to conquer but amidst all of these, there is one who stood by my side patiently. She who guided me without a word and showered me with love, she who protects me from the evil of the world, and she is my mother.       Mother's day for me is a very special day, of course it is for all of us but it just holds a special place in my heart. I cannot express my love and gratitude towards my mother easily, it is not that I don't want to but it is simply because I tend to shy away. On this day, I can express it freely and easily maybe because of the day but nonetheless I still feel happy to say it. For all the things that they have done they deserve to be honored and pampered on this special day. They deserve to sit back and relax and to enjoy the day, they deserve a b...

   Reflecting on this quarter I must say that the experience that I’ve gathered has influenced my growth and my improvement as a whole, it is mainly because I’ve been surrounded with my positive friends that has greatly increased my confidence and helped me get through this quarter. I can honestly say that this shift has benefitted me in more ways than one. I also came to the realization that in order for me to develop, I need to know what or who I genuinely like. My desire to better comprehend and explore who I am was another one of my objectives. It is not an exaggeration to claim that if we put our minds to anything, even the most mundane things may be changed because a change starts with me.      This quarter is clearly more difficult than the previous ones, and with that in mind, it took me a while to physically and emotionally acclimatize because the material was so challenging. But happily, with the help of my instructors and friends, I was ab...

     Ilocos Sur is located in the northern tip of the island of Luzon. Their settlements were mostly found in the plain territories particularly along the coastlines and so the place was called Ilocos, which means people of the lowlands. According to history, colonizer Juan de Salcedo explored the region in 1572. Two years later, he established the Ciudad Fernandina in what is now known as Vigan by the orders of Governor-General Guido de Lavezares. The region however erupted in various uprisings all throughout the Spanish era. Thus, proposals were submitted to the Real Audiencia to divide the region. Thus on February 2, 1818, Provincia Ilocos was split into Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur by virtue of a Royal Decree. This is the date that Kannawidan Ylocos commemorates every year.      Kannawidan Ylocos is an annual festival that celebrates the founding of the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines every 2nd of February.

In my municipality of Vigan every year they celebrate a fiesta’s that every January 25, the Vigan City Fiesta is held. It is observed on the day of St. Paul the Apostle's conversion feast. Vigan City's patron saint is St. Paul. Prior to becoming a Christian, St. Paul was Saul, a fervent persecutor of Christians. His name was changed to Paul after he had a close encounter with Jesus Christ while traveling to Damascus, and he underwent many sufferings and perils in order to carry the gospel to distant locations.      Vigan’s main church, the Metropolitan Cathedral, is dedicated to St. Paul and it stands at the core of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia. The major Catholic educational institution in Vigan that stands beside the church is also dedicated to the patron, the St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur. The Vigan City Fiesta u...

This is because I've been able to gather more friends that has a positive with me, which has given me more confidence.
