Kannawidan

  Kannawidan Festival is celebrated annually by Ilocanos. It is to let the youth to know more about Ilocos Sur's beautiful cultures and traditions, as well as products made in the province. And to let the adults reflect on what was essential then, and now, to appreciate again the beauty of what the province have.

   Kannawidan is celebrated to appreciate and to love what our ancestors left for us to carry in our present and future lifestyle. To pass these cultures and traditions to the next generations, our hope for the future, and let them stare and embrace what was left for them.

   Kannawidan has many new and old, helpful things that we can learn from. It has many activities that is worth to join to, or watch. Celebrities that perform to their fans. Bands that sing for us Ilocanos. Showcase of wonderful products, and so much more.

   I believe, Kannawidan is the time to reflect or to know what our dear province is all about , what our dear Ilocos citizens are capable of, how and what. It's to respect to who deserves respect on making this Festival exist, to respect our ancestors' beloved creations.

Look at Yourself

  We always tell to ourselves that it is up for people who has power to make a "change" that leads us to think that they are fine with it and don't need our help. And it slowly remove our guts to actually help them. And it will lead us to complaining whenever they fail. But, can we actually blame them? Did we once asked to ourselves, that they forbade us to help them? No we didn't and no, they never forbade us, come on it is change we're talking about.

  The world suffers in various ways, yet we always depend on them. This is the problem to us people, we always depend on people that we believe stronger than us, but in reality we were the reasons why they got their position, and we all are strong in our own ways and can be stronger than they are, but we are just too dumb to believe that.

  Sure we know that "change" right now is essential, and will be the greatest achievement done in history. But how can we achieve such thing if we ourselves can't even do something about and just talk and talk but no work at all? How about we start by ourselves? My friend Jasper told me that you have to understand yourself first then only by then can you understand others. It's very basic, even a 5 year old can understand such words. We shouldn't just depend on others, believe in ourselves shall we? Let ourselves change and do something right and just to achieve "change". I believe I myself can achieve change, just by starting by myself. Failure is inevitable if that persists, try again, believe in yourself and it will be possible.

Another Mountain?

  Keep Your Mind Open To Opportunities. They Are Closer Than You Think

  Should I start from the beginning again, I would like to carry my failures and lessons to pass this another mountain. To gain more in the future is to learn from the past. In life, it shouldn't be necessary to always be constant, in order to achieve new, you might want to go a higher.

  Since I was born, there should be a thing that is waiting for me, waiting for me to achieve that, and for all the seconds of my life I am moving towards it. Now if that thing has more to it, there's nothing wrong to go beyond that.

  New years taught me that it doesn't matter if I can't be new from what I am now, as long as I go higher and higher and go beyond that thing, it never ends. See, opportunities we create never ends, whenever the year ends, another year opens another opportunity for us to move toward success. 

  New years help me to have another 12 months of chances, and is up to me to decide on how I use them. 2019 can be the same as the previous years, but it helps me continue what I didn't yet finish, it grabs my hand to continue climbing to get to the top of the another mountain that has new lessons, chances, mistakes to give. Cheers for the new opportunities! I thank 2018 for this, I'll make sure I'll never forget them.
