  In this school year, another quarter had ended. A quarter that was full of good and bad memories that I will be cherishing forever. A lot of new experiences and knowledge had been unlocked. But how am I really during the Quarter 2? Quarter 2 is where I had experienced a lot of different experiences together with the great people who I have been with since the first day of this school year. We shared different kinds of memories, good and bad. Quarter 2 lessons had made us feel so stressed and tired but we get easily recharged as we bond with each other and fill the room with so much laughters. And I feel so grateful that we went through all this together because it somehow lessens the stress we are feeling. Of course, we also learned a lot in this quarter. It was really hard but I've made it, we made it. I realized that I have become a lot tougher and I will still be even to the quarters coming ahead. Quarter 2 is full of so many memories but i have to say good bye now as it had f

Because of its tastiness and uniqueness, a festival was created. It is the Vigan longganisa Festival. A festival being celebrated yearly where tons of people come and watch the happenings. But when the pandemic came, we weren't able to celebrate it well. A nd now that the pandemic is fading away, let's enjoy every moment we had always longed for to happen. The day has come where we celebrate the Longganisa Festival. The festival that we weren't able to celebrate well during the past almost 3 years. Dancing, excitement, and fun are the words to describe it. And happiness and joy are the first things I felt as I watched the Longganisa Festival, from the start to the end. It was a beautiful festival that just wanted to make me capture every moment and event it has. I would say, it was one of the most exciting festivals I have attended. From their colorful costumes and attire to their wonderful performances. A smile was just plastered on my face the whole time as I watched thei

     Goodbye 2022 and Hello 2023. Another year had end but another year had started. A new beginning, a new chapter, new obstacles to face, and struggles and fears to conquer. What about me?...Will there be a "New Me"?   2022 was a very long year for me. I'll say that the year 2022 was one of my toughest journey as I had faced a lot of struggles and different problems in life. The year where I didn't really want to be happy anymore because It was the year where I most felt that being happy comes with sadness. Year 2022 may had been quite tough but I didn't regret anything because through my journey, I had learned a lot. 2022 might not been that bad as I also felt one of the best memories and memorable moments in my life. Indeed, a year to remember. As the year ends, I smiled and bid goodbye to the year 2022 and happily welcomed another year, 2023. Me? I might change for the better, and just continues to be brave and strong. And through the learnings and to my rea

  25th of December, the day where we always celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ every year. The day where we share joy and happiness towards each other by exchanging gifts with our love ones and sharing memorable memories as we celebrate Christmas. But today, December 25, 2022, how did we celebrate Christmas during this new normal?   Just like the old times, we celebrated Christmas with a smile on our face as we enjoy going outside and sing Christmas carols to our neighbourhood, preparing the foods and sweets on the table, welcoming our visitors which is our relatives and friends, playing games, and singing and dancing. We shared exciting and memorable memories with each other. Our family may have celebrated Christmas incomplete but we still made sure we had connections with them by video calling them and greeting them a Merry Christmas. While waiting for the clock to strike 12 AM, me and my cousins joyfully sang and watch the elders sing karaoke. Our family really enjoyed every secon

  The celebration being celebrated in our school which is the Ilocos Sur National High school I think is about the talents every student has. It is the time where students show everybody the talent they have been longing to show, the hidden talents that were kept hidden because of the Pandemic and the lockdowns that had happened. The past 2 years that we have been staying at home, I know that most of the students had discovered a lot of something they are good at and more talents they have developed. So I think they came up with the idea to celebrate the so- called "Festival of Talents" because they know that a lot of the students have a lot of talent and it's time for them to bring out that talent and show it to everybody. As I have looked around the place where the festival was celebrated, I saw a lot of students selling bracelets and wallets which I think is made by them also, they were also selling beauty products, a lot of them was also cooking different kind of food
