My Dream My Future

     Everyone dreams to have a perfect family but I’d never dream of it. All I want is a simple but happy with two children, a boy and a girl and a husband who is responsible and will be my lifetime partner.

      I’m planning to get marries at the age of 27 but before I enter parenthood, I want to make sure that I have a stable job that will support them. When I will become a mother, I don’t want t be strict t my children. I want them to see me not only a mother who is responsible of disciplining them but also a friend whom they can run for whenever they have a problems. I want to have an open relationship with them, that they can freely share their secrets as they share it to their best friend. I will give them the rights of being a child, I will give them freedom but of course there will be limitations I want to see them growing and enjoying their life.

      My ideal man is not the one who can give me the world but a man who can give me the life that I want a simple but we’re complete and together we will face the struggles coming along our way.

Change: It Starts with Me

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no

one thinks of changing himself.”

-Leo Tolstoy

            We always notice others mistakes, but we never reflect to ourselves. We are busy helping other people to change but we can’t help ourselves to change. We always say we want change but we are doing nothing. We always complain but we never move.

          Progress, starts on change and I’m the only one who can make my life better and I’m the only one who can control my life. We are the one’s making our life. I want to be a better person in the future which I can say that I succeeded. It can only happen if I choose to change for the better.

          To improve is not bad; it is the right thing to do always. Change is the only permanent thing n this world.

          We change for two reasons, either we learned a lot or we’ve hurt too much. Don’t let our anger, insecurities and hate changes us because we will not succeed instead we choose to change because we want to and because this is our way of letting go of them. From time, we can help others to lift up.

Kannawidan: Ylocos Festival

    Every year, we are celebrating Kannawidan Festival and once, lets again bring back the pat, culture and traditions. This celebration started last January 30, 2015 and ended on February 13, 2015, a two-week long festive celebration of happiness. This is not only for us to reminisce the past but it unites Bigueños.

     We should be proud of for this is the only city that is preserved. I’m glad to see that even children participated and danced the ethnic music, it means, our culture is still alive even we are here in we so called “modern world.” They are not shy to show where they came from. They are not ashamed to wear “bahag” that symbolizes our very own culture.

     OTOP of different municipalities were displayed by these we can see how creative they are to transform raw materials to a useful one. A simple food to a unique one like ginger tea, squash noodles and many more, which is not common, I bet they are all delicious. Bigueños are really talented and unique.

     Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness that we are rich in culture heritage, practices and traditions that attracts tourist. We should never forget the past, for they bring us fame. We should treasure and preserve those for the next generations to witness how rich Ilocos Sur in culture, traditions and practices.
