Viva Vigan, Viva San Pablo

A lot of happenings and gatherings during the fiesta of Vigan City. January 25, the Biguenos celebrating the feast of "San Pablo". St. Paul is the the patron saint of Vigan City.

A lot of tourist visit Vigan to witness the events that the City prepared. On the 25th day of January, there was a parade. The grand parade is being held every City Fiesta and it is one of the most sought after event of the people of Vigan.

One thing I can't forget about January 25 was for the very first time, I participated in the parade with our school's CAT-I unit. In our complete uniform.

January 25, 2011 was the happiest day of my life and you know what, January 25 was one note worthy date for me. That was January is all about; a meaningful and colorful celebration especially for the Biguenos. We should be proud of Vigan City, because I know this is the most child-friendly City here in the Philippines.

Time really runs fast. Its seems that a snap of a finger has changed everything. Somehow, leaving the year 2010 could be the same leaving the third Grading period. And as we leave this endeavor, let's have a flashback of what we have learned at this time expression.
It is a bare fact that every person has enough knowledge,because I believe that everyone is learning through experience.
We have leveled up on the Web Page Design. It's not that hard but it takes time to use the HTML codes . We're already able to put some background colors and images. We have also learned how to put some links on it. Moreover, we have discovered how to enhance the text through font style, font size, and font color.
I address it by finding solutions of every challenges I'm facing. Moving on, I will do all my best to improve my knowledge about everything and I will work harder in my studies and in our activities.I'll try to get myself into the other uses of internet. I hope I could learn more. Furthermore, I hope we could have a fast-responding computer and fast internet connection.

♥ New Year, New Resolution ♥

Let's start the new beginning, new life, new hope, new resolution, new dreams, new challenges to face, and new existence.
Year in and year out, time flies so fast that we don't notice most of the times. There are moments of our life that we just take it for granted and do not give importance at all.Its high time that we start recollecting for ourselves.Just like the coming of a new year. We normally think of a resolution. This has been happening all over the world. But my question is this, how many of us have religiously fulfilled these?
This year, I want to be better and I will change all the bad attitudes I have. Do the things that we've no done last 2010. I want to be better and to work hard especially on my studies. How I wish that this new year, there would be peace in the world, because its so nice to live in a very peaceful place.
I could not promise but I would try my best to fulfill my resolution. I believe, it would make me better and the long run to help me shape my future. ♥♥

♥ True Essence of Christmas ♥

♥ Essence of Christmas for me ♥

Christmas is the best time of the year. It's the time when Jesus was born.The time our faith is renewed also. It's the time for forgiving and forgetting the bad things which others had done to us; the time we have to become better and make a resolution to strive harder.
During this Christmas, it's the time, it's better to give than to receive.Many of our families despite the difficulties in life prepare for this every important occasion. There are those who love listening and looking to young children singing carols or saying "Merry Christmas po."
For me, Christmas is a time of excitement. During this time, there are many activities and programs and we become busy, for school to our community.
The members of the family come together to celebrate and make bonding with each other especially those who'd been far from each other the rest of the year. They find time to renew their friendship and good relationship.
How I wish that this Christmas there would be peace in the world. It's so nice to live in a very peaceful place. Furthermore, nothing bad would happen to us and to the other people and I'm praying for their safety and that Lord shall always guide us no matter what. This is what I believe as the true essence of Christmas; a peaceful world and a happy place to live in. ♥

♥♥ Second Grading is Over ♥♥

It is a bare fact that every person has enough knowledge, because I believe that everyone is learning through experience.

I have learned that in every move we made and in every minute of our lives, learning is always on hand. As a youth I learned a lot from school. In school, I learned how to manipulate a computer and about HTML files. I learned how to participate in different activities in this topic. I have a lot of fun because it was very amazing. Because as we all know, all people have different responsibilities to make.

I address it by finding solutions of every challenges I’m facing.

Moving on, I will do all my best to improve my knowledge about everything and I will work harder in my studies and in our activities. I’ll try to get myself into the other uses of internet. :)

♥ A meaningful break ♥

" All works and no play makes John a dull boy." Breaking from a regular routine of our daily tasks makes our life more colorful and interesting. However, despite the break, between semesters, there are however tasks and activities which I was busy with. Semestral break is the most unawated event of all the students. It's time for them to relax and have fun.
I was an SK Kagawad Candidate, thus, I together with my other party-mates went out to campaign. Luckily, I was able to win as an SK Kagawad in our barangay and so with my father.
I also helped in the general cleaning at home wit the family members. Also, we visited and cleaned the tomb of our departed family members and which were with them on the All Soul's Day.
Of course, I also spared my time in reading my lessons and making my other school tasks. I also ventured other wholesome activities that contributed to a productive and meaningful semestral break.
Varied activities make our life more meaningful and colorful. If ever there are other chances that we get away from our regular routines. I will always make it a point to be memorable. ♥
