MY DREAM MY FUTURE

                   Since elementary my dream is to become a professional teacher someday. I appreciate the efforts of being a teacher of what I've seen to my previous teachers. I want to become a teacher simply because I want to help my parents in return. I will be the one to give their needs. My parents know already that teacher is my dream to be. I will always bear in mind that God is always the center of my life. He has the power to control it. I will treasure every seconds in a meaningful way. The problems that  I will encounter will be my inspiration to continue reaching my dream. I will study very hard so what when time comes I WILL BE THE ONE TO CATCH MY OWN STAR.

CHANGE:IT STARTS WITH ME

                   Everyone of us has the right to undergo changes. Changes that will help us improve the real you. In the past few days I become so very weak. I was late for few days maybe because I still want to sleep  and woke up late. I am trying to woke up early but still I woke up late. I am trying to go home earlier but still I go home late. These are always my resolutions but I  cant do it. For every mistakes there is always a room for improvement. My experiences in life will help me to learn my mistakes for not to commit it again. These will serve as my guide to continue the meaning of life.

KANNAWIDAN:YLOCOS FESTIVAL

                 VIGAN CITY, Feb. 20 (PIA) -- The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival on January 29 to February 5, 2012 drew local and foreign tourists as more entertaining events had been included in the celebrations.

Now on its 5th year, the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival had already established its identity as the prime festival of the province. The festival was launched in 2008 under the leadership of then Governor Deogracias Victor B. Savellano to commemorate the 190th foundation day of Ilocos Sur as separate province through the approval of a Spanish Royal Decree on February 2, 1818.

 “Through this “Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, we are preserving and sustaining our old traditions, attractive products and practices as we are also promoting our tourism industry,” Savellano said.

According to Governor Luis Chavit Singson, the province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due to the influence of the television, computer and internet.

“But,  through  our Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, these traditions, customs and cultures are revived to become more entertaining to give more fun and attractions to the visiting tourists in the province,” Singson said.

“Through our Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, which is the official annual festival of the province our tourism industry was enhanced and helped boost the demand of our products, more job opportunities and livelihood opportunities were crated and more income for our people were generated,” he added.

The 2012 Kannawidan Ylocos Festival opened with a concelebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints of the 40 parishes including the images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the province’s capital city in the afternoon of on January 29. .

Reverend Father Roque Reyes, who officiated the mass, said that the mass and the procession were the acts of thanksgiving to the God almighty for the blessings received by the province and the exhibition of the strong religious belief of the Ilocano families.

After the procession, a dinner for all was enjoined to all bystanders, tourists and visitors at Plaza Salcedo followed by fireworks display to signify the formal start of the different events of the weeklong festival.

On same night, the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds. Their graceful movements and excellent rendition of songs and playing the indigenous musical instruments drew attractions from the crowd.

On the following day, a traditional opening ritual was performed by the students of the Ilocos Sur Special High School for Culture and the Arts in Suyo, Ilocos Sur. Vice Governor Savellano and the officials of the Department of Education Division of Ilocos Sur signified the start of the different contests for elementary and high school students. These include traditional tribal rituals, choir and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama, traditional and folk dances, contemporary dance competition and street dancing showdown. These events aimed to encourage young Ilocanos to learn these indigenous songs and dances for sustainability and preservation.

Partuat ken Patanor Trade and Agri Fair also opened on the same day. Officials from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) headed by Thelma Dumpit Murillo graced the occasion.

The trade and agri fair displayed all products from the different towns of the Ilocos Sur and its nearby provinces. The annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held to give citations the local farmers’ extraordinary farm and fishery products and livestock. (ANL/FGL-PIA 1 Ilocos Sur)

"THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS"

     Christmas is fast approaching.  Have you say sorry for the ones you've hurt?  Have you say thank you to the ones whom you felt happiness already?

     Christmas is not about giving gifts, exchanging cards.  Its all about peace, forgiving and loving each other.  When you say sorry, mean it.  If you say you love him/her prove it.  If you say thank you then mean it.  Christmas is for us.  For us to forgive one another, to love each other and care for one another.

     Christmas will be so happy if we know the true essence of it.  Care each other, forgive one another and love each other.
