Change: It Starts With Me

Do not dare to say that you can't change. Do not dare to say that you do not have the power to change something. Because everything in this world is set to change even before they existed. It is inevitable. “Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.”  So, if I ask you what small deed you can do to change for the better, what will it be?   

There are many things that has changed after they existed like Earth. Before, it was like a paradise-- mountains are filled with big trees, plants and animals; the deep blue see still has many creatures and life on land was still free like the birds roaming the vast blue sky. Now, it seems that everything is before's opposite.  The people, people are getting worse to do such things to a paradise. Also, they are being unfair to other people. Social inequality is now noticeable.  Because even some leaders are not leaders for the good. Ah no, they are leaders for the good....... of their own. These are the product of change, but not for better instead, for worse.

So, as an aspiring model, I must start the change within me. What can I do to change the world if I will not start with myself, right? It is not really hard to change if we are really persevere to do it so I will do my best to press the reset. After pressing it, I will try to make some changes in me that can not be a hindrance to those who are willing to do something good.


Hereis the song related to this entry entitled "Send It On" by some of the Disney Stars.

My Dream, My Future

          There are times in our lives that we do not really know what to choose and to take and where we really want to go.Because that is the consequence of life that we had receive, we really have to focus on the things we really want in order not to see our future so vague.

          Sometimes, I ask myself what I really what to do in the future?  It seems really blurry everytime I think about it. Yes, even now that commencement is drawing near, I am still undecided. I remember when I was a kid, I always said that I am going to be an engineer and I will build my own house and my own company. Everytime our teachers ask us to write what we want to be in the future in my elementary days, I always wrote "I want to become an engineer like my father. I'm gonna follow his footsteps." That's what I've been planning before. Also, when I reached my secondary education, it's the only course that comes out from my mouth everytime we talked about our college lives. Not until I reached fourth year, when the time to choose what really suits my interest, my decision before seemed to waver. I thought that I was a hundred per cent sure of my decision but I was wrong. Now, I am deciding to take up pre- medicinal course-- Biology and take up medicine as soon as I'll be finishing Bio. Only this passed few months that I decided on this course. But I've got a problem on this, the course that I chose on my College Entrance Exam was Engineering. Now that I can see clearer future on the medicinal course, a problem stroke. 

          But, even if I am encountering this problem, I will surpass it. Just like our Guest Speaker during our Pinning of Ranks said "Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go for you only have one life, one chance to do it." When I have decided and if  I can see a brighter future in any of the two courses that I want, I will go for it.

Preserving The Cultural and Traditional Heritage of Ilocos

          It hasn't been long enough since they started to celebrate the Kannawidan Festival. Like the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio, City Ati- atihan Festival in Kalibo, Aklan and Sinulog Festival in Cebu, Kannawidan also lived up to its mission and vision to preserve its costumes, and cultural, traditional heritage as well as  to patronage and promote its products. 

          In this fourth year of celebrating this said festivity, the provincial government made it more prestigious and bigger so as to attract more tourists and most especially to publicize its product and cultures. Also, Kannawidan does not only wish to help promote Ylocos but also to offer more jobs to the people. 

          There's not only one highlight of this event because the provincial government prepared more than what you could ever wish for. There is the "Tawid Ug-ugali Ilocano" (Ilocano Heritage Tradition)--presentation of the folk and cultural dances of Ilocanos; the Agri- trade Fair, Food Festival, Band Concerts, Concert for a Cause which presents the idols  and stars of this generation, Zarzuela Ilocana, Bituen ti Ylocos, Saniata ti Ilocos Sur-- a pageant for the Ilocana Beauties. Also, there is the One Town, One Product (OTOP).

          Kannawidan presents it very unique events to the public. Since there are a lot of people joining this, it will not only help our cultures and traditions but also helps in the rising of the province's economic progress.
