Kannawidan Festival

Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos. 

For the very first time in the history of Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, a carnival ground was put up at the Quirino Stadium in #Bantay. This carnival has no entrance fee and every Ilocano can enjoy the fun. 

Residents displayed products under the One-Town-One-Product (OTOP). For the people, Kannawidan is one way for them to experience, know, learn, and love the different cuisines, cultures, traditions, and exhibits of their own province, of their own place. This festivity has a great impact to the people for it shows how their province lived and lives. The activity creates a magnificent  influence that pulls people together in one area of the province and makes an amalgamating once in a year experience as traders all over the province and all over the Philippines showcase their wide array of reasonably priced products.

ILOCOS SUR ROCKS! J

New Year, New Me :D

When the New Year arrives, it brings new ideas and hopes for us to make our lives good to better and better to best. 

New Year is like a new sun rise of hope, of prosperity, of happiness; it’s like a new beginning of thoughts, of words, of actions; it’s like a new day of energy, of strength, of ideas; it’s like a bunch of whole new things of prayers, of friends and of love. As the New Year going to start, I wish may the good times, live on in our memories. And may we learn lessons, from the troubling times. That will make us stronger and better than ever.

Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear. To love and laugh and give! This bright New Year is given me. To live each day with zest. To daily grow and try to be my highest and my best! I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs.

WELCOME 2014 J

My 3rd Reflection

Every experience, no matter what it is, good or bad, you'll learn from it. That answer gave me an idea to create my reflections and lessons that I have learned this third grading period that even I got low scores and few number of recitations, I know what will I do next time.

Third grading period has been a great term for me because we had lessons that made me interested to learn and know. HTML images, the image and the src attribute was been an interesting topic because it enables me to display an image on a page. Together with the alt attribute that used to define an alternate text for an image. The alt attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can’t load images. Also the aligning images and adjusting size of images use to position the image within the text and to adjust images to different sizes. I also learned how to apply a background color and images. I felt easy this time because I’m confident to what I know but HTML Tags is what made me down. It made me confused sometimes if what tag will I use and put into it. Sometimes, I got it wrong specially when we had a test and made me slow for doing it. Even I consider it as a hard topic; it is still required for me to learn that. I’ll do ways. I’ll do something. I’ll do better this time starting from now on for me to obtain my grades. Fourth grading period, please be good to me. :)

    

                                                                                                               

                                                                                                               

Essence of Christmas

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus and reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love and the vision of a God who is full of compassion and forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive mindset and from a place of love.

We are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind! Jesus is the reason for the season.

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 is best enjoyed when it isn't centered on decorations, gifts, or festivities, but when love is at its core. Love is the essence of Christmas. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share. 

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. It brings out the best in everyone because it brings Jesus out, and He's the best!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! J

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity ^^

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

Genuine equality between men and women, girls and boys can only be realized in the process of a just, fair and human transformation of our society as a whole. There is need to educate ourselves and others to take a more correct view of women and to actively redress the injustices done to women in all our institution. Women must not be treated as mere passive participants in national development. But they must enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms benefiting all human beings, both in domestic and public life. Women need to be treated justly in families, public life and the church. Re-emphasizes that equal rights and opportunities lead to improve that health outcomes for women and girls. Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known is gender –based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. It severely limits the ability of women, girls and the communities they live in to protect and promote their health.   

Going Global Through English Language!

Going Global Through English Language

As our universal language, English has a very important role in this world. Speak English, the universal language break the barriers in the world. English has also become the dominant language in politics. Which makes sense, as the ability to communicate clearly with people from around the world takes on extreme importance in that particular field.

As global communication expands throughout the world, so does the need for a global language. A language that is recognized and understood by people everywhere. In many parts of the world that language has been established, English. It would make communication across cultures much easier. The spread of English is both cause and resulting of globalization.

It helps the people in different nations to understand each other. So let’s break these barriers and cooperate to each other towards a peaceful world.
