Walking To Tomorrow

                Each of us has its own dreams for the future. Dreams that inspire the way we live today. Through we can’t be sure and predict what will happen tomorrow, we can manipulate a part of it by doing things which can help to build the future we want. Every action we do today, it affects how we live tomorrow. So what will it be? What would you do?

                As a student, I still have a lot more to go; more things to accomplish and problems to be solved. I too have my own dreams; I want to be a successful man. I want to have my own happy family, to have a decent and large job, to have my own house and to have a glorious life. Before I could claim any of these, I must sustain a good learning and a never-ending works. In attaining something, we must also consider the people around us. They may or may not help for our future. In anything, we must keep contact with our friends because they are the ones who help us accomplish things.

                There are a lot of things to consider for the goodness of our future but one thing is for sure, nothing is impossible for a man who works and thinks like everything is possible.

Contagious Change

                The world is busy changing; changing and not knowing what would be the outcome. We are likely to be a blind man who doesn’t know where to go. What should we do? We can cure blindness and change the world by starting it first within our very own selves. Before changing something huge, start it little by little, detail by detail and that’s what we call, ‘me’.

                Torments around the society are scattered and unstoppable. We are living in a world filled with pain, agony and evil actions. The reason why? It’s in the people; how we live and interact with each other. Every one of us is different, some succeed by manipulating companions and some helps them. In other words, the society is divided in a group of people, the good and the bad ones. We can all be pure and be at peace by changing and leaving the undesired qualities behind but we can’t change it in just a short period of time. Everyone needs to cooperate, start with our own selves and change for the better. We know ourselves and there’s no reason to hide who we truly are. We must change all of our bad sides and proceed to a life full of happiness.

                Change starts with our own selves until it’s contagious and would bear an all out change.

Culture At Its Best

           Ilocos Sur, a province wherein culture and traditions are treasured in time. Every culture and traditions are being highlighted in festivals. Each festival is showcased by praising saints or showings a unique product of a certain place. Every place, culture and traditions are being connected and united by a one grand festival, the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival.

                Every year we celebrate the festival by showcasing the products of each municipality and even the markets around the place. Different competitions will be established; from dancing to musical competitions. Many activities will also be conducted in a form of contest. Local and foreign tourists will gather around the venue to explore the beauty of Ilocos. Smiled expression is also expected because of the aura of the crowd and the place itself.

                Kannawidan is surely a good way to explore Ilocos in just a simple and short walking. The festival is filled with overflowing happiness along with the culture and traditions. Well, that is Ilocos, the home of great people, awesome places and stunning culture.

Nature Upon Us

      Nature, the source of living and the roots of our human fruits. Ever since the human race was born, nature has been the foundation of everything and the origin of all existence. We can’t live without it but are we truly taking care of nature?

      Climate change, it’s the comeback of nature because of human’s destructive works. We create, build and invent technological advancements but devouring nature’s life. We carelessly scatter our trash without thinking the sudden effect of it. Our wrong habits backfire giving us unnecessary weather or climate. We experienced more storms, hurricane, typhoons, landslides or whatsoever. We can’t blame nature, that’s its way in waking up society to the truth that there are limitations of life; we can’t do everything we want. We must also adapt and live with our environment and not only to human interactions. We take plants’ lives such as trees, well; they only produce the oxygen we breathe. As Sir Isaac Newton says, “With every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. “We may think that we are improving or ascending to pure modernization but we are also destroying our own home.

      The fate of our lives is in our own hands. We just have to act and start a better way of living. Ask our own selves, what am I doing? Am I contributing or not? Nature doesn't need people but people need nature-Harrison Ford. Change starts from one until it’s contagious.

Acquiring Excellency in English

      English literature or the English proficiency comes deeply from the mind but being expressed purely from the heart. Learning English is as hard as Math, as well as Physics but if it is taken solemnly, it’s like a new soul born from one’s body. People around the globe are being connected by this international language. But does everyone know the English literature? And how much is this so called English language?

      There are many aspects, sides or branches revolving around the English literature; from simple to vital information. Grammars and spellings are the two main recipes in achieving a good English proficiency. But it takes years to learn and enhance well the English language. We grow fast through sincere learning but is it as easy as it seems? No. Learning the English language is done by our own selves-our heart and mind. But we must consider the barricade in mastering the English language-poverty. Financial aspect blocks our way through the excellence in speaking or writing English. “Money runs the world”-anonymous, but we must push our efforts otherwise we’ll be left by the educational system or the society itself. We must not let poverty as a barricade in acquiring excellence in English. Learn English while enjoying life-that’s the perfect way to do it.

      The key into wholesome excellency in English literature is within us. We just have to let it out and live with it. Learn seriously and it will be a lifetime achievement. So what are you waiting for? Go grab a book.

Is Fairness at Hand?

          The world is divided into groups of people; rich and poor, white and black, men and women, powerful and not. It’s a reason why many individuals suffer from discrimination, racism and are being assaulted by insults or imperfections. But what maybe is the reason why these things are getting worse? And what are the other reasons why these are happening?

          Equality? It’s a good thing to hear but straight to the fact, we don’t have it. It’s just an illusion, a sweet word and a fake hope provider. Why did I say so? We can’t actually find a pure act of equality, thus this only appears in front of cameras-movies, commercials and the never ending concealment of politics and even the artists. Rich and powerful men have the advantage while for the poor and powerless, it is the other way around, they lack almost everything. Men and women, different genders with their own pride and courage to take challenge everything in their paths and defending their selves resulting to outrageous fights. As for the whites and blacks, an unstoppable battle between their races is happening every day. Why is it that, even skin color is a cause of inequality and diminished opportunities? Technically, we were all born in the same way, but why would races, gender and state of life dictates how bold our rights? We are all the same; humans who interact and live with its environment.

          We must not hind in the shadows and let our rights be abused and taken from us. Tolerance and ignorance make it even worse, that’s why we must take our stand and fight for our rights. Break the silence and stop the dictators and abuses and do what is right. You, are you coming with us?

The Rumination of The Earlier

      Life is all about the ups and downs, mistakes and excellencies. We grow and improve by the downs while we learn from the mistakes. We can’t acquire a perfect live, we are being molded by our own mistakes which makes us more mature.

      Second grading of the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), I admit, I didn't had even half of our lessons but there are still some of them that I've learned by my own self. Our lesson is about programming, as I would interpret. We used tags or codes to show our commands to the computer using the notepad. We also made accounts for the Google to make our blogs.

      As I have said, I didn't had even half of our class, it’s because I participated the Raniag Festival as a dancer. We had whole day practices and our sembreak was even touched because of our preparations. As a result, my blogs, notes, and activities were late. I just relied on our teacher to give us considerations. Fortunately, she took our names who participated and hoped that our grades will not be affected.

      Now that I have a lot of extracurricular points, I’m gonna focus more to my academics. Next time, I would prioritize first the lessons rather than the extracurricular activities.
