A Star to Achieve

Since then, I've been wanting to be a Doctor someday. Cardiologist to be exact. I haven't told my parents about being a cardiologist tho but they know that I want to be a Doctor. What's with being a Cardiologist? My mama has heart disease, so I want to be able to study her illness and maybe, just maybe, I can help her. It hurts to see her suffer when she has chest pains caused by her sickness. And if I ever could achieve being a Cardiologist, I will not hesitate to help her. And to be able to achieve this, I'll try my best to study hard and chaste after my dreams. I will not give up easily, giving up means giving up the chance to help my mother. Aside from being a cardiologist, I've been wanting to travel around the world. And if i can save money, I will happily travel around the world.

ISNHS PRIDE

This coming March, ISNHS will be celebrating the most awaited celebration of the school. They will be marking the 118th High School Day Celebration. It is composed by a coronation, a parade of different grade levels with their costumes and a field demo. It is supposed to be a two-day celebration but then with the cancellation on the events of February, they have to do all of it for one day.

Preparations for the field demo of students kept them busy. Since they are advised to not be involved in a crowded place, they only practice in their MAPEH period. The struggle on this part is that they will not be able to adjust once they are in the field. But then it is more better than catching a virus that has no cure.

But aside from it, it won't be a problem to the students because they will surely enjoy the said event. March will sure be a hell of a month because of the cramming and all but will surely enjoy it.

The Joy of Continuous Celebration

Aside from celebrating Vigan City Fiesta, Ilocos Sur held a festival that showcase their treasures and highlights their cultural traditions which is also celebrated at the end of January to the third week of February. Ilocos Sur is known to be rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino Heritage. This festival is known as Kannawidan.

Kannawidan is an Ilocano term that means feast of rich heritage and culture. So it is understood that the main focus of this festival is more on culture and traditions. Different events are held in this festival and many participants from some provinces of Ilocos Sur compete for the grand prize. This is also a good chance to showcase your talent. Kannawidan is open for all and if you wish to enjoy your stay here in Vigan, make sure that you witness this festival. Artist from different network also join Kannawidan Festival. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to see your favorite artist.

FIRST THING FIRST

One of the things that I hate is changing. Because why do we need it? Why do we have to start over again when we are already half way through? But since sometimes even when you hate it, you have to do it to be able to move on.

You may look at me and say that i'm incapable of making a change because really, how could someone like me, an ordinary person, could make a change right? But physical appearance will never be a basis of what they can do. You should not judge a person just by his/her appearance, most people do though.

But the first step in making a change, is the change for yourself. You should change yourself before making a bigger change for something else. You have to improve the 'you' before because if that 'you' from the past keeps hunting you, you may not be able to properly change for better.

Endless Celebration

Vigan City, hailed as one of the 7 Wonders Cities of the World celebrates Vigan City Fiesta every 25th of January. This fiesta commemorates the town's patron saint, which is St. Paul the Apostle, with a parade, musical performances, beauty contests and cultural shows. This fiesta last for several days.

People from other places also join in celebrating this fiesta. Participants from other neighboring provinces compete to certain contests and activities. Mostly the street-dancing. They have the chance to showcase their talent to other people. You can feel the homely-feeling when you are here in Vigan City even if you are from other place. Here in Vigan you will discover new things and new foods.

Vigan City fiesta is not the only one being celebrated, Longganisa Festival also. So the parade that happens every year is Longganisa-themed parade and it is held at 27th of the January so it is like the continuation of the said fiesta. This festival should be given more attention since it is one of the crowd-drawer of Vigan City.

A New Beginning

Every new year means new beginning. You have to enjoy every beginning because not all can experience or witness it. If 2019 has been hard on you, why not make a change this 2020. 

New Year, New Me. This is always what they say. But then the word "new" in 'new me' is not always about changing. Sometimes it is also about improving. Make yourself a better person this year. New means change and if you keep changing you'll never go anywhere. 

Believing in 'New Year, New Me' for me is a mistake. Because there's no point in changing every year. I focus on the part 'new' and I have been dependent on it. But I am willing to change this belief of mine and focus in improving myself rather than changing every time. I'll try to focus more on what has to be done.
