Guards on Filipinos: Pandemic ka lang

 

         Resiliency is one of the most common traits we Filipinos have. Problems or disasters may hit us but we unite and lend a hand to our fellow citizens. We never flinch when danger come, we face is bravely and wise. We are a strong breed of the human species.  Many disasters have come in our way, we got passed all of them through courage and unity. Now we face an enemy not visible to us, a deadly virus spreading faster than we can imagine.

The Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 surely struck us like a lightning bolt. Leaving a painful and bitterness in its path. A sad fight that may cost you everything, your family or your dearest friends. Even though that’s the case we choose to stand up, head held high, fighting our struggles in life with a smile on our face. Nothing can drag us Filipinos down, we unite to protect our love ones, our home and our country. Yes sometimes we fall and that’s not the end, we find reasons to fight and get back in our feet. You may be young or old you can still be a soldier fighting this pandemic by following protocols given to us.

 

Life is full of uncertain things, things may come unexpectedly that’s why we must be prepared. And always help a brother up when he falls. Filipino is what we are facing this pandemic with our masks on and our hands sanitized. We will all get through this for we are Filipinos, we are great.

Goodbye my Friends

            In the last chapter of being a grade 10 student. I learned more about Photoshop, I guess. Adobe Photoshop and Web quest that’s what we learned. Create a design in Photoshop CC. There aren’t specific problems tho. Just this one where we make mistakes and do it again. We just kept in mind that we can do it, think positive.

A gun in my Hand

            They say dreaming is free but what it’s not free at all is the challenges that may come.

It will cost you lot of effort, but dreaming big is not bad at all.

            As I grew older my dreams also get a lot more. Adding an age and directly proportional my dreams also adds. Having a gun in my hand that’s my dream. Catching bad guys all day. Shooting at a range, a policeman with a great principle in hand. A cool uniform, riding in the cool breeze of air while doing my duty. Protect the old, innocents, and every citizen. But it is all worth it? Risking my life for others, a great job but it will cost me my life. I don’t care for my duty, principle and belief is true. Even if my life’s on the line trust me I’ll be there protecting the citizens.

            Study, get a job and die what a cycle. Still in the phase one but dreaming to get in the phase two soon. Dream big. I’ll be your knight in shining armor.

Our Foundation

118^th High School Day, that long since our school started celebrating our High School Day in Ilocos Sur National High school. Usually our foundation day happens in the month of March.

This year’s High school Day is truly by memorable. Our last Foundation Day being at the Junior High School. A usual 2-day celebration of our school to commemorate how it was found. In this 2-day celebration, a parade will happen and a field demo, dancing to our worries. Each grade levels dancing with their might and greatness. And after that the coronation of Mr. and Ms. High School Day.

Last year of being a Junior High School, last High School Day. A great way to end a marvelous School Year. Truly we will remember this all after our journey.

A Flashback to the Past

Every year the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is held in the province of Ilocos Sur. For its richness of our culture we flashback to the past, our rich tradition, diversity and our old culture.

In the Kannawidan Festival, activities are held to commemorate our rich tradition. It recognizes the culture of different cities and municipalities. The different products of great cities that are shown with proudness of said places. A showcase of Ilocano’s great talents and their smart ways and thinking. A few great artists and bands also come to do some singing, and more in joining the said festival.

Kannawidan a living evidence of our rich culture and tradition. A treasure which we should preserve and pursue in doing it annually.

Begin with Yourself

            Different responsibilities, priorities and roles in our society. But all aims to make our world better. Pushing forward to a new era where everything is innovation. But before that big change where should we begin?

            Ourselves, the starting line is ourselves. In order to change something that big we need to change ourselves, innovate it. Our skills let’s hone it to sharpen and put it in use in the future. Set our minds to think positively, set our paths to the right direction in order to influence others to the bright side. Every big things starts in small things. By ourselves we can be a light in changing our dark world. With a single light with a good use of influence we can spread the light and give a hope of change.

            Ourselves, yes it starts with you and me. Self-improvement our starting line to a life changing journey. Let your light so shine upon  man.

VIVA Vigan!

A new me?

            A new year, a new day, a new decade. A fresh start to change or stay as it is. Hmmm? Setting a new goal which somehow I will only fail at it just like this past few years. Wait, maybe I will do it, set goal might as well do it, my best to strive to that certain goal. But what will it be, change my personality, physical self? Start a diet, or achieve something great, be a legend of my own? I don’t know, let’s just leave it for a moment and take time to think about it.

            We often start a new year, with our New Year’s Resolution. For the first few days, or weeks we are just doing fine, we are striving but after a few months we forget about it. Fading in our memory once a promise became a memory which we can’t remember no more. Laziness may come and will ruin every plan you made since the day you set your goals. Well what I’m thinking about is, will I change ‘me’? The way I interact, the talkativeness I have in me, I don’t know seems kind of hard, just thinking about it makes me not to pursue it anymore. Well it will benefit me for sure, changing my behavior but many things will change or adjust too, for sure. Thinking about it maybe I will? I don’t know, I don’t want to set new goals and eventually fail at the end. But for the mean time I’ll try my best, try to change for the better I guess.

            A new me, sounds pretty good but takes up effort; a bunch of them. Thinking what if the new me will change that much, losing my identity, building a new one. As early as possible we should be deciding of what we should do with our lives. New me, for the better or worse, doesn’t matter I won’t do it anyway.
