   I had so much fun after a week long festival here in my home town ilocos sur. Kannawidan
was celebrated every 2nd day of February. With its week long celebrations, its active span is mostly the last week of January to first week of February. I may not attended every activities/program, i still felt the fun, enjoyment, and experience. The programs that i was able to go to are; Miss Ilocos sur Pageant, where in i shared this moment with my family and saw Edward from pbb, and for me this is one of my favourite moment that i captured during the festival. Another program is the Grand Celebration Night, this time i was with my Friends and this is much more fun and exciting cause many artist came and performed just like Maki, December Avenue, and one of the band member of eraserheads. I was so grateful that i was able to experience all of this fun and was hoping to experience it again.




    

 Kannawidan not only gave me fun and excitement but also gave me lessons. Because of kannawidan festival, i learned more about my home town's culture, history and facts. History is the most important aspect of it. And I will be sharing you the history that i was able to gather. From the souvenirs and the things that they sell, you can already see the culture it self. They sell a lot of traditional clothes, town's  own delicacies and of course souvenirs. For more background, Kannawidan Ylocos comes from the word tawid. Its English translation means tradition, legacy, and/or heritage. It marks the historic establishment of the province during Spanish times. Kannawidan Ylocos was first launched within the term of Deogracias Victor Savellano in 2008. It was started to promote awareness and preservation of the local culture, tradition, heritage, and customs. It was also an opportunity to showcase local products, artistry, and craftsmanship. Moreover, it was also created to boost the local tourism industry. Kannawidan Ylocos was first launched within the term of Deogracias Victor Savellano in 2008.

blog no.5 ( My Journey For 1st Quarter)

 The first quarter has been a complicated of numerous happenings that greatly impacted my knowledge and abilities. The experience of taking on new responsibility at school stood out among the others. We were given a group activity, and school works, which at first seemed like a difficult. But this difficulty became a chance for growth on a personal level. As I worked to include the ideas of different team members, I realized how important it is to communicate and collaborate. Managing various personalities and own styles improved my ability to resolve conflicts and showed me the importance of flexibility and patience. Beyond successes, the first quarter has been a moment of deep exploring. I discovered that accepting discomfort can result in amazing development. Every challenge I overcame, whether in a personal or professional setting, gave me the chance to reconsider and adjust my self. This quarter, stepping outside of my comfort zone has become a serious topic for me. ...
