Kannawidan: A part of us

     Kannawidan is an annual festivity conducted during the month of February in our province Ilocos Sur. it is an occasion that showcases culture, products,  fashion and talents of Ilocanos among the different towns of Ilocos Sur. Last year (2018), we just celebrated Kannawidan Bicentennial because it hass been 200 yearsn since we started celebrating this event.

     Kannawidan is one of the most awaited events in the province besides those of other festivals in towns. there are events that have been done every year and they are as follows: beach volleyball, mass, procession, boodle fight, exhibits, education day, miss saniata, siglat iskwela awards, agricultural contests, float parade, training, zarzuela, quizzes and other competitions, traditional games, street dancing, and showdown and other special events. Different artists are also  invited to be the hosts, guests and bands to sing or dance or to have mini concerts  enjoyed by viewers. There's food court to visit and be captivated with different Ilocano products such as suka, balikutya, abel, damili, wooden furnitures, empanada, bagmet bibingka and other delicacies.

    

 Kannawidan is opened for fun and some objectives making tourists to be engaged and join us also in the celebration. It is just another tradition by Ilocanos in which they are proud of. without celebrating and attending activities, our year will not be completed.

Beautiful Change

Change is coming! They all said. But is there any new? Any changes or transformations either? Maybe there is but it isn’t enough.

It’s almost two decades since I first exist in this planet. I belong to the most popular group of this generation called "Millennial". New or even unsolved issues where brought up again by us they say. They hate us because of teenage pregnancy, pornography drugs and so much more. But I am not that kind of them. I am only a member of the group but still I’m not in favor to all these things some others do. A hypothesis or better if tested that these were cause by lack of discipline. But ten it’s not only lack of discipline there are also a lot of external factors to consider. We need to change it but get up and fix yourself first.

                I am not perfect to say I’ve done so many good deeds. Indeed we all have flaws and imperfections. Change starts with me. It doesn’t mean to change yourself instead it says that you only have to improve. Remove the bad deeds and replace it with better ones. I’ll make it general this time because it does not mean that I, who is talking in this blog, is the only one who will start change by ourselves. I must include all of us here since it is universal.

                If we change we must change for the better. Be more responsible with your actions and stand on it. Be more disciplined in all that matters. Be a good leader and also a good follower. Do not rush things so fast instead do it gently and nice. Be kind to everyone and also be honest always. Study hard and be patient so that you’ll succeed someday and you’ll serve you country to be more productive. Do not be so selfish. Ask the guide of God in all you do so that it wouldn’t be a failure. Do not be afraid of facing problems. Be strong and bold. Respect others and be united. Live your life with no lies. No racial discrimination because no one is different. Think positive and just go on. Use your time wisely and spend it meaningfully. Do not abuse things specially nature. You must also love and care for others.

 Live this kind of life with happiness and the change you desire or humanity wishes will come. I myself will try to keep these thoughts I’ll share to you. So that together, we will start the change. A beautiful change it is and it is waiting.

Blank Spot(There isn’t but there is.)

 

                We entered the year of 2019 leaving those past events behind. Leaving all the things we’ve done during year 2018 neither how good nor bad they are. And yet, there are again new plans for this year. But where will you begin? Or maybe I should ask first myself where to start? Do I have to make a new me rather?

                Well first of all, I’m Cheena Marie Asistin from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. I’m 16, turning 17 August this year. And yes I’m still single. I’m still in junior high, 10^th grade anyway. So I think that’s my introductory statements about myself. And this time we’ll have to know more about myself.

                I think I am normally delivered by my mother but lately I’m being crazy. Yes that’s right and my classmates are my witness. I am also shocked with myself because it is new to me. I like it sometimes but it’s not funny for them often. I do laugh at things which are not so funny for them. So they say that I’m weird but it’s not so let us go to the serious me. WARNING: No contradictions. I’m not pretty, shy but strong. I do serious things when I think it’s a must. I wanted to succeed someday that’s why I’m studying hard but today I could feel the tiredness in my body. Still I have to get up and be patient. I’m still UNDECIDED on what I really want for Senior High School. And that’s a problem. To the kind me, (YES I have this side) I usually help my classmates whenever they have problems or whenever they reach me out and ask something. Before when I was in elementary, I used to be in a serious mode almost all of the time but it changed. I do change a lot when I entered high school and a lot of things happened. I became jollier and I hang out with friends more often but only in schools. Not much outside the campus except for the days of practices. I like all the transformations during the past years. I don’t do resolutions because I don’t think I could meet them up.

               Honestly, I don’t like the idea of having a new me because I might go through some problems if it happened so my decision is to be THIS. ME. No new me. I like it this way much more than before and I do not want to be lost again and to lose anything that I already have. Nothing to change but I do have a wish for myself this 2019. And that is to be more responsible.

               

                       There’s nothing to change but there’s only a wish
