Kannawidan Festival

             
                               

        

            We all know that KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL is one of the most popular event here in Vigan. People are so much excited when we talk about this event because there are so many activities that are conducted.  In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocano's.

         There was the tribal performance of the cultural communities of Ilocos Sur which is so fascinating. They displayed their talents as well as their indigenous costumes.Traditional games were played and bingo as well. There were Sarsuela and Komedya Ilocana which were shown.Showcasing the beauty of the Iloconas- the Saniata. We must be proud of being an Ilocano.Celebrating feasts and festivals is a part of our culture and tradition as a Filipino. We have so many different festivals around the country, on each region wherein various things were featured and experienced. Most festivals in the Philippines are religious in origin, but nowadays the religious component is usually secondary to the general spirit of celebration. Filipino hospitality is legendary and at no time, it is more in evidence than at festival time.There is really a need to revive and rekindle the spirit of the Ilocano. There is a need to initiate programs to make Ilocano aware of their customs and traditions, to pave the way in preserving them; and thus, preserve the distinctions of our culture. These are the reasons behind the conceptualization of the "Kannawidan Ylocos Festival". This became an annual festival that aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products.It was a fun-filled week of celebration of the Kannawidan Festival in Ilocos Sur.

                     

NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

                                     NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

       One of the sayings says that , “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something."

     In every year comes in my life it means a lot for me.Because this is a new beginning of my life.I know that in every year comes more problem will come too but I know also that i will pass those problems.There will be a time that I'm happy and a time that I'm sad but I'm always thankful because my friends are always there at my side in good times or in bad times.“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” ... Sometimes I experience having a friend which they call the "FAIR WEATHER FRIEND," I know that all of us had already experience this.But we are good so we let him do want he/she want to do.
   
     New year is sounds exciting so let us welcome our new life with a big heart. :))“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

....ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS....

                       

                           ....ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS....

      Christmas is time for giving and sharing.For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some.

     WE are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind! Jesus is the reason for the season.At Christmas, we are expected to spare time to contemplate on things eternal. That is, we must remind ourselves that we are strangers her on earth; that our real home is in heaven. And that no matter how long we live, we shall sure die one day. So many people who started the year 2012 with us are not around to finish it. Like us, they commenced the New Year with high hopes and aspirations. Some may have planned to marry this year, to buy a new car or to move into their new apartment. But alas, all those are now but a pipe dream. Thus, we should count ourselves lucky to be alive to see this Christmas.
   
      Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. You see, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child.People are very excited if we are talking about Christmas,others are planning on what they will prepare on Christmas eve and others are busy attending the midnight mass.Is it really true.? That if you completed the midnight mass you will make a wish and it will come true? Others believe on this but for me I don"t know.

CLIMATE CHANGE

                            CLIMATE CHANGE

   Before,the nature is very beautiful. The man before are loyal to nature,they make it very resourceful.They are replanting trees if they cut some of it.The air is very fresh to breath.What a nice nature.
   But as the time past by the beautiful nature turn to worse one---an this what we call the CLIMATE CHANGE.The people today have no concern to nature;if what they want to do they will do it.They are not thinking what will the result of what they are doing.And now,GOD is turning back to us what we do to our nature.The nature is our home,our beautiful home but it seems it is not beautiful anymore.There are only some that are left but some are already endangered.Natural calamities like landslides,earthquake,tsunamis and other more.And the other one is the man made calamities and the one most example is the flash floods,this is happening to us because we are cutting trees and we don't replace it.Climate change is now one of the most widely problem in the world.The ozone layer is now damage,and now we are experiencing a very hot temperature coming from the sun instead we can get energy on it.
     As of now,we already see the effect of climate change in the Philippines.Flash floods and a very high temp.

GOING GLOBAL THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE

          GOING GLOBAL THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE


      English language is one tool to establish our viewpoint. We can learn from others experience. We can check the theories of foreigners against our experience. We can reject the untenable and accept the tenable. We can also propagate our theories among the international audience and readers. 


       A language is a systematic means of communication by the use of sounds or conventional symbols. It is the code we all use to express ourselves and communicate to others. It is a communication by word of mouth. It is the mental faculty or power of vocal communication. It is a system for communicating ideas and feelings using sounds, gestures, signs or marks. Any means of communicating ideas, specifically, human speech, the expression of ideas by the voice and sounds articulated by the organs of the throat and mouth is a language. This is a system for communication. A language is the written and spoken methods of combining words to create meaning used by a particular group of people. 

     Language, so far as we know, is something specific to humans, that is to say it is the basic capacity that distinguishes humans from all other living beings. Language therefore remains potentially a communicative medium capable of expressing ideas and concepts as well as moods, feelings and attitudes. 

EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

       EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

       All of us has a right of everything.We are people who deserves to be respected and that is the one of our rights..

         Equality of opportunity more simply describes some of our rights and how we are all equal before the law. This type of equality is not inconsistent with liberty, but "an essential component of liberty." Friedman notes that if someone is denied a job they are qualified for based on their ethnic background, color or religion, then they are being denied equal opportunity.

Equality of outcome is the problematic view. This is the idea that everybody should literally be equal. There are many problems with this idea.First of all, 'fairness' is not an objective concept when dealing with wealth. One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Second, the passion behind this idea is that it isn’t fair for some kids to have advantages over others just because of the socioeconomic status of their parents. The focus against those who are advantaged is based on one’s property such as home or business values.

     

     But let’s consider where this leads. If we were to really try and equal the outcomes, then less advantaged kids would be given the greatest amount of training and the advantaged kids would be given the least amount of training
