Hope

They're risking their lives just to protect us from the deadly virus.  Even though they miss their families, they sacrifice their feelings for our country to be safe.  Thank you frontliners for your unending love to us. 

3, 2, 1 Action!

 If I'm not mistaken, it has been 9 months when this global pandemic shocked everyone for its severe and deadly impact.  On the month of March, after hearing the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, after a few days, classes were suspended for the safety of everyone.  And weeks after, the President declared a nationwide lockdown for the safety of everyone.  In a single blink, the virus changed our lives.

This pandemic gave a big impact to everyone.  Everything changed.  The number of cases increases everyday and that's one of the reason why some establishments closed leading many people laid off of their works, which means that many of them can't support their needs because of the lockdowns of their work places.  As a youth, we noticed these changes and decided to spread awareness and help change the world.  Following those simple rules like wearing masks, washing your hands properly and keeping a distance to one another can be a big help to change the world.  By following these simple rules, it can help stop the spread of the virus.

Many people who were and are infected of this deadly virus may also need some help.  We can help them by donating.  They are all humans too and helping one another can also change the world.

Filipinos are resilient.  Filipinos are known for being prepared when there is a coming disasters and pandemics.  Hopefully, this pandemic will end soon and all will go back to normal.  We are Filipinos.  We heal as one. 

My Sunflowers

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.  A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.  And meeting again, before moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." -Richard Bach

We are a family.  They are my brothers and sisters.  I love them and I will surely miss them.  For all the memories, happiness, sadness and the pain that we shared together,  I will forever treasure them in my long journey.  We may fight sometimes but there's not a day that we cannot say sorry and resolve everything.  When someone is sad, there will always be a someone to cheer them up and make them smile.  When someone is in pain, all of us will share the pain together and will heave a sigh and let the pain go altogether.   

The time has come.  We are now saying goodbye to each other.  It feels weird.  Not a long time ago, we are still shy to ask names towards each other but time flies so fast.  I can already feel the sadness that will strike me ones we will be in our senior years.  Surely, we will meet new friends but the memories and my journeys along with them, will forever be in my heart and I know that no one can replace those memories.  Because memories bring back them.  

To Ma'am Vera Cruz, I will surely miss you, Ma'am!  It is not yet a year when we met but I can feel your love for us.  Thank you for everything, Ma'am!

I can't wait to see everyone of us successful in the future.  You are all my happy pills.  My love for you is for eternal.  I love you all, my bunch of sunflowers.  Till' we meet again, my loves.

Dreams Come True

Dreams do come true.  Every person have a dream.  A dream that they want to achieve.  And what do you call those persons who dream?  A dreamers!  Dreamers, it is!


Young people or should I say kids nowadays have a lot of dreams like magical and fairytale-like dreams.  I want to become a pilot, have a lot of money, live a happy and peaceful life with my love ones and to marry the man I love and have kids.  I know that I am too young for these dreams of mine but someday, I know I can reach for it.  I only have to trust myself.


My future is in my hands.

Our Happy Day

Every school has its own big day.  Just like here in Ilocos Sur National High School, we have the so called High School Day.  In this day, the students can rest their minds from studying. It is like their reliever.

Different activities is done during this big day.  There is the field demo which every grade level will perform in the field their level dance which they have practiced for weeks.  In every classroom, students will also contribute for them to have lunch after the field demo.

Today, I am looking forward to the big day of Ilocos Sur Nationsl High School.  We've been practicing now since last month and I hope that this time, we win.

Highlights

Northern Luzon is full of amazing and wonderful festivals.  To show and share the treasures and cultures of the province to the whole world, locals conceived a festival that shows and highlights the cultural traditions and called it, "Kannawidan Festival".

Here in the Philippines, Filipinos treasure their own traditions and cultures because it is one of the ways on how to remember our ancestors and the history of our country.  Biguenos, which are the local people of Vigan City, celebrates the Kannawidan Festival happily.  The government of Vigan always invites different bands and artist for entertainment.  There is also a carnival there and different contests with big prizes.

Change is Coming

Weather changes.  Your hobbies changes.  Feelings change.  Everybody changes in just a span so no wonder everything changes.

I'm not perfect.  I'm no saint or God.  I have my own flaws and bad traits but I'm doing my very best to become better each day.  I am a short-tempered person.  I always get mad when my parents don't give my whims.  I am a spoiled-brat.  I always cry at petty things.  I feel small about myself when someone compares me to others.  I always overthink everything that is happening.  I feel bad for making the important persons in my life sad and I want to become a better person for myself.  I will cheer myself everytime.  I will concentrate on being happy, positive and contented.  And most of all, I will seek guidance to the Lord through prayers.

My parents taught me when I was young that if you want something, do your best to achieve your dreams and to change yourself not for others but for yourself.
