Vigan City Fiesta 2011

It has been 10 years that Biguenos are celebrating the Cityhood of Vigan. Celebrating the fiesta is such a great triumph and pride especially to the people of Vigan City . Biguenos are very proud of the said celebration because the fiesta is for the conversion of St. Paul, patron of the said City. The City celebrates its fiesta in every 25th day of January but actually it started from January 16 and it ended last January 31, 2011.

Different activities were conducted by the City. The Longganisa Festival: street dancing and showdown competition, Students and Teachers Got Talent, Carabao Painting and many more. The Vigan City launched the Grand Parade on January 25, where different organizations, institutions, schools and establishments participated in the said parade. Last January 26, the Sangguniang Kabataan Officials had their Float Parade Competition around the City. During the night, the search for Ms. Vigan Youth Ambassadress was launched. 19 SK officials from the different barangays competed for the crown. The winner was from Mindoro, Vigan City.

As a 16 year-old Bigueno, who was used to witness this celebration, wants to congratulate Mayor Eva Marie S. Medina for making Vigan City Fiesta 2011 possible and to those people who helped in the preparation of the said celebration.

Without them, we will not be able to witness and experience the valued cultures and traditions of Vigan City.

New Year, New Beginning

What does new year symbolize? How did you feel when you celebrated another year in your life?
New year, new beginning. I celebrated my new year with my family and relatives at home. Different games were played, foods were shared, and were just relished each others company.
New year symbolizes new chances. Chances that will make or break your journey as an individual.
I was so sad because 2010 is finished. That year for me was a very greatful year I've ever experienced. Even though sometimes I had regretted some decisions in my life. I did just go on with the flow.
I was not really ready yet for the year 2011, but when that year came, I just enjoyed it. I realized that another year is given to me by God so that the things that I wasn't able to finish last year, will be achieved this year.
I don't have a new year's resolution for I know already myself, that every time I will have it, I can't be able to fulfill it.
Life is all about chances, it depends on you, on how to manage it.
In my journey this year 2011, I will just do my very best to achieve my goals someday.

My Third Grading Reflection

Lessons were discussed, thoughts were shared. In my Third Grading experience in ICT IV, I learned lessons like studying html, do project with the Microsoft Window FrontPage and made different exers and applying different backgrounds.

It wasn't easy to do those things but with the help of God, I was able to make it.

Moving on, I will exert more time on ICT IV especially our project and exercises.

Who among you don't want to live with a very peaceful life? I guess, there is none.

Through love, peace and care, no doubt we can achieve good relationship. Right now, we are experiencing a lot of misunderstanding around. And this may lead to unexpected happenings. To avoid this situation, all we need to do is to think positively, widen our horizon to that possible outcome and always preserve the guidance of the Lord Almighty for us not to encounter this.

A good relationship through an organized and progressive society will lead us to a better and happy life.

The 2010 Christmas Vacation

The very essence of Christmas vacation is to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas day is a celebration during the 25th day of December. Where the spirit of Christmas is all we can feel. I know that love, care, sharing, peace and forgiveness are always present in every heart of everyone.



As a student of Ilocos Sur National High School, I celebrated my Christmas vacation at home and at Cabaroan, Santa Catalina. It was great and nice. I enjoyed every moment that we're together. Christmas season is such a wonderful vacation together with my family and friends. It is the time to relax and I had enjoyed each others company :)

A Worthful Week

Last October 25, 2010, someone texted me at exactly 7:55 in the morning stating the meaning/signification of SEMestral BREAK,
S-sleepful nights
E-exam free
M-morning smiles

B-batugan days
R-restful days
E-endless gala
A-and lastly
K-kahirapan, no allowance!!!
and the first thing that came into my mind was, "oh?!.., really?!!."

I spent the whole week at home. I always sleep late each night because I do watch tv. I didn't ask any money from my parents just to buy something I want because I have my own money in buying. Each day that week, I was always left alone in our house that's why I was the only one who took care of it.

I can say that my sembreak was worthful because of the recently concluded barangay and sk election. I run as SK kagawad and luckily, I won. Aside from winning that position, I was engaged in meeting new friends in our barangay. I am very happy and contented in this kind of blessings that I've received from God.

Reflection on this Second Quarter

Another grading period had passed. But the lessons that were discussed had remained.

Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz helped me learn on how to create exer's, do essays on different topics and gained knowledge on the discussions.

On the next grading, I will really give my best to cope up and concentrate more on my ICT IV.
