Another year to celebrate.

Ilocos Sur National High School has been functional for the 117th time, and the standard of education it offers stands out. Coming from the special mathemathics class I can say, that teachers work hard, and students study hard. I observed that time must not be wasted, that time is important.

The High School Day celebration was a success. And there were a lot of activities happened in that day. First the parade, when all of the students and their advisers walked to showcase our school. Then the arrival of honors plus the marching band, it was a very honorific time when we welcomed the guest and the principal. Lastly, the Field demonstration, wherein skills in dancing were showcased by the different grade levels.

It was a very tiring day indeed, but it was kind of fun too. Because not only I celebrated it with my friends but I also learned some inspirational words from the guest speaker himself.

"Soar... Fly... Aim High!"

Celebration of Fun! Ilocos Sur Number One!

A time of celebration, a time of fun. That is one purpose kannawidan festival is being held yearly in our province. Also the Kannawidan Festival celebrates the golden culture of Ilocos Sur, and the warmth of the province. 

One of the main objectives of the festival is to pay more attention to children. The youth is the future so a better attention creates a better vision. And a better vision can motivate the youth to become a leader of their generation and in the future generations. 

Different types of booth were also held in the festival, it includes food bazaars, product booths and the carnaval. Mini concerts were also held at the event as a way of bringing entertainment within the ilokano people and also for the tourists. Celebrate the festival with happiness and let it bring a smile in your face. 

My voice, my say

They say that change is the only permanent thing in the world, and that changing is for the better is not at all that bad. We came here with our own versions and it is not bad to change some parts of what we have started. 

Everything has its own mistakes and flaws, yes all of us accept that because nobody is perfect. But what if a flaw is big? There must be something we can do about it. I believe there is, because I believe in change.

Everything changes. it may be in its physical appearance or it may be figuratively. Some change for the worse, some for the better.

For me, I want to change for the better. I want to change the peoples' mindset on sexuality, on race, and on their fellow people. I want to change discrimination, I want to change the world for the better. How? By being able to influence, and a leader. And I know that I can start being a leader in school. And as I grow up, I can apply these lessons that I have learned to be able to spread my voice.

2019! Here We Go!

Another year has come, another chance to improve myself and another opportunity to find my true self. To be honest, I still do not know who I am, in my 15 years of existence I am only on the first step of my life. Just a teenager living his life to the fullest not yet thinking about how the real world works and how real problems happen.

Though I take my studies and my grades seriously, I still want to improve myself and challenge myself to be a better version of me. 2018 was a blast, full of exciting and unexpected things has occur and a lot of bonds and memories were made. This year, I want to make more friends and create more memories as I step in the world of Senior High School. Soon, all of us classmates will take separate ways and take different paths, so before I leave them I want to make the best of my time with them and have one last jamming, one last discussion, one last arguments, one last dance, one last trip, one last memory. 

I hope that this year will be filled with happiness and I can start to improve myself to become a better student, a better son, a better friend, and a better person. 2019, here we go!

The Most Beautiful Time Of The Year

After August 30 it starts, the festive feeling of the Filipinos awakens and 4 months of celebration begins! Christmas of the Filipinos, wherein at the start of September we celebrate the holiday season, up until January. Christmas is truly meaningful to us Filipinos, it gives us the will to be with our loved ones, and to celebrate with our family.

Christmas in the Philippines is truly a big celebration, where Filipinos, in any way of living, always makes way for the celebration of Christmas. Decorating our homes and neighbourhood just to feel the happiness that Christmas will bring.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas!" As boys and girls carol through the neighbourhood and people gather for a warm dinner. We celebrate Christmas like no other. Homes filled with decorations, gifts, food and joy. People filled with happiness, that's what we are all supposed to feel when the clock strikes at twelve. Where we celebrate the birth of Christ, and just love. Just love, family is love.

Christmas is truly a gift and a blessing. For it is the time where all of us celebrate as one, and for a day, peace is among us.

Born to Fight, Born with a Worth

 "When we are born we are all free, those who deny that, no matter how strong they are, doesn't matter! Fight! Fight! - Eren Jaeger

All of us have the right to live, and no one deserves to be treated like animals. No one deserves to be discriminated, no one deserves to be abused. Fight! Don't just sit there and accept your situation. Stand up and Fight! Speak and Fight! Don't let others have the advantage to abuse and discriminate you. In this world, in this cruel world, we need to learn how to be independent because in the end, we are all alone.

Abuses, hatreds, discrimination. These actions need to stop, we need to build an equal world, we are already living in an intellectual era, and we should know what is right and what is wrong.

All of us are a precious gem. All of us are a treasure that no money can buy. Each and one of us has a worth.

The Right Of Having Life

Everyone of us has the right to live. Everyone deserves to breathe, to have life. When getting in to a commitment like having children, we must know how to stand up for our actions and hold the responsibility that we choose. 

Having a child is a big responsibility and a big decision, we need to make sure that we are able to take care of the child and to secure the child's future. Education is very important in a child's life, because he/she can carry it on as he grow and develop through his/her journey. 

As the new and younger generation, we must limit ourselves from the temptation of having sexual intercourse with our partners because being pregnant in an early stage of your life can affect your future. However, I am not degrading those who got pregnant in a young age, because even though they are still young and lives in the same house with their parents, they did not abandon their responsibility as a parent. Shame to those who abandon their responsibilities, shame to those who killed their own children.

A child needs proper care and guidance in his early years, and it is time to stop violence against children.
