Vigan city is widely known as a UNESCO city. It is rich with old-fashioned houses uniquely from the Spanish Colonial . It is also rich with the finest delicacies in the Ilocos Region. Bagnet, Empanada, Longanisa. These are just some of them.
The unique city's fiesta happens every 25th of January of the year. its been a tradition that on this day there are no classes and office works inside Vigan City only. I consider myself lucky enough because on the big day of the city's patron, St. Paul, I marched along the historical streets of the city. It was a must for me to joined the parade because I am a proud CAT officer. We raised the flag of our school on this parade. It is always good to hear that someone, described us as the best among the other CAT officers who joined the parade. My ears seemed to fly when I herd that awesome news.
I did not spent much time to celebrate the fiesta with my friends, rather, I and my family went home early. That's how I spent January 25 2011.

Before I ended my 2010< I learned may things especially in ICT IV. We discussed about the Microsoft Front page and its content. How it is related in making a web page.

At first, of course it is hard to deal with. But as we, or I got more familiar to it, it became that easy. I also learned about the background pictures of the web. On how to put pictures. On how to make a link on the front page.

Same problem with the previous grading periods, the loading of internet. Most of the time it is unplugged. So I decided to try to fixed it. Luckily, It became okay.

Moving on, I will try to make my posts and drafts as early as I can so that mu grades won't fall down, and I will spend the last three months in my school to the fullest.

Tik tak, tik tak... The clock is ticking so fast. It seems like the time is running. Trying to escape from something. 2011 has finally arrived. I thought a year is hard to wait. But I was absolutely wrong, it passes very quick. like a wind does.

Maybe its been a tradition for others to have a New Year's Resolution. I myself also made some , but for this year, I don't have. I noticed that my New Year's Resolutions were not being accomplished, so I stopped having them.

For me, there are four important events in my life that will occur on the first four months of this year.First, my last Junior-Senior Promenade. I quite enjoyed last year's prom but for sure I will more enjoy this one, the last one. Second, my last trip to go to the IRAA Meet. I've been joining this competition since I was a second year student. I am not hoping to to win this time but for at least I will play at my best. The third, there are two: my first and last Seniors' Faculty Ball and Ceremonial Drill. It will be my first and last time to experience these two events. Last but not the least, my upcoming graduation. I feel like I don't want yet to graduate for I know I'll miss my classmates and my young friends. I am too, is excited for at last I'll pass the second stage of studying. Whatever I feel, i must continue moving forward.

2011 is a year with lots of LAST for me to experience. Almost 3 months to enjoy High School Life. Very little time to spend time with my friends. this year will surely a great year for me.

Christmas is widely known as the season of giving. In this season children are waiting for Santa Claus. They put their socks on their windows, waking up early the next day to have their presents. When I was a child I also believed in Santa Claus. Until I came to the right age and understand the fact that there is no Santa.

Jesus is the real meaning of Christmas, but this meaning is already erased in the hearts of human beings. Why do most people celebrate Christmas? Is is really to reminisce the birth of Jesus? Or just to have fun? I , myself keep on asking these questions. It's been years since I started to asked these questions and until now, my mind is not yet brighten.

The essence of Christmas is now divided. Some celebrate it for fun. Some awaits it for their gifts or for their Santa Claus. Others love it for in this season there is no work.

Even though we have different intentions in celebrating Christmas, we must put in our hearts that Jesus is behind in these celebrations.

Happy holidays!!!

God made human last. He made us like Him,His own image. He made us to rule the Earth and to take care of it. But in order to fulfill His orders, we must create a relationship with one another, "FELLOWSHIP".

Fellowship means cooperation. We must have only one agenda in order to build a well-renewed society. We, people, made with differences. We have different cultures but we are ONE. We have different beliefs, but we are ONE. ONENESS is everything we need. We must uplift the state of our nation, our country.

fellowship must be EVERYWHERE. We can encourage those who are feeling alone. we must tel them that we, each of us, are for each other not against one another. We are the only one who can build a great nation. The Earth is just waiting for our move.

The first semester is consists of the First Grading and the Second Grading. before entering the second semester, which consists of the Third Grading and the Fourth Grading,there is a so called "Semestral Break". It is only a one week break, but for me it's just okay.

We started our break right after the Second Grading Examination which is good enough because our teachers cannot give any special assignment for us to make during our sem-break. I did not went out often during the break. I made an everyday schedule. I usually woke up 8:00-9:00 in the morning. I don't eat my breakfast because I immediately clean the whole house, wash the dishes and refill drinking bottles. I then eat my brunch. After which, I sleep from about 11:00-3:00 in the afternoon. Then i cook for dinner at 5:00 in the afternoon.

Because of lots of "NO WORK TO DO", I continued reading the Breaking Dawn ( the last book of Twilight saga ). i usually made myself busy by reading this book. I was fascinated with the story so I finished reading it for 2 days and 1 night only. For over 720 pages of the book.

This was my sem-break. maybe for others it is boring, but with this kind of schedule I will NEVER get BORED.
