Change: Starts with Me

“All meaningful and lasting change starts on the inside and works its way out.”They say that change is the only permanent things in this world and that’s a fact. Every being is prone to change- be it for the better or worse they can be. Change happens whether we like it or not and regardless of whether we do anything about it. Tomorrow will be different than today. We can resist, but that is a bit like standing in a river and trying to hold back the water – useless. We have a choice to watch change passively happening around us, or to participate and lead it.

Changes are taking place on all levels, from simple to complex; whether the minuscule transformations of our brain cells to the political crises unfolding around the world. Some changes we can manage, some we can influence, but realistically, most are outside our control. Statistically few of us will change the history of the world in a momentous way. Individually we cannot eradicate war, poverty, greed and corruption. I won’t invent a cure for cancer or solve the opiate crisis. But I can change myself. And in changing myself I may have a greater, more positive impact on my world – the one in which I actually live.

We can lead change and make our world a better place if we start with ourselves. Learning to become a better spouse, parent, businessperson, leader, salesperson, philanthropist, coach and volunteer will enable me to contribute more to my family, my community, and my industry. By inviting positive change into my life, by initiating change, I might be able to positively influence others.

Kannawidan Festival (insight)

t

Ilocos Sur has a lot to offer- be it foods or even festivals. One of the festivals is Kannawidan Festival, It is a celebration that lasts from the last week of January up to the first week of February. Included in the course of events is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province.

This year’s kannawidan is a blast- Regarding street dancing, you can really see the faces of the people who are dancing that they’re enjoying it. Many locals and even tourists watched. There’s an event every night that features local artists and bands like  callalily, silent sanctuary, december avenue, Michael Pangilinan, Alex Gonzaga and many more! During this festival, Ilocos Sur’s rich culture is shown.

The local government of Ilocos Sur thought of this festival to encourage the younger generations to learn the indigenous songs and dances of the province.

New Year, New Me

                                                

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. May the New Year usher in new hopes, dreams and aspirations for all of us. This year, may we change for the better. Regarding my studies, i will try to stop procrastinating and to always listen to discussions. In terms of my social life, I’d like to travel and create new memories and make new friends of different nations. Hobbies, I want to try new things that fits my interests. As a daughter, I’ll try to be a good one —again, to listen more to them and to fix my attitude too. As a sister, try to stop pestering my little sister and to be a big sister she can trust and depend on. As a citizen of this country, I’ll try to implement all the things I know to help our community. As a child of God, I want to be more close to Him and to listen to all His words and teachings. May we achieve all the things we want to do this year. Have a fruitful one!
