My Dream, My Future

I dream to become a Certified Public Accountant.  Wait...  I am setting a deadline for it.

Choosing a course is hard.  Much harder when you realize you don't like it, or you don't feel taking it up anymore.  Thankful I am to God, He had given me the right course for me to take up.  Pretty sure I won't be dismayed with my choice.

Being a Certified Public Accountant requires many works.  Paper works done with patience and analysis should be rendered.  I know I'll be experiencing exhausting days and sleepless nights in order to accomplish all works for that day.  So therefore, am I fitted?

Honestly, working is not my passion.  Rather, sleeping, eating and sitting pretty at the corner.  But it is also my dream to change, and I have set a deadline for it.  And it is when I enter College.  I'll be partially independent in order to change and to succeed.

As a pretty or better yet beautiful young lady, I dream of having a happy family.  I never dreamed of growing old alone.  I would love having a kind-hearted, supportive and lovable husband.  Much more if we will be blessed with cute, beautiful/handsome and lovely kids.  They'll be my inspiration in giving my best in my work.

Most of all, thank you God for giving me the chance of dreaming.  Because of this, I have something to achieve in the future.  I believe, these are worth the wait.  These dreams of today will be my future smiles.

Change: It Starts With Me

"If you want to change the world, begin by changing yourself."

"Change is the only permanent thing in this world," as most people say.

"Change is what we need.  Change is now," said Barack Obama.

But changing is not that easy.  We have to undergo situations which would force us to change.  We change for the better, or maybe for worse.

I am still young but I want a change not only in my country but also to the world.  We are experiencing economic crises nowadays.  People are being alarmed because these crises might lead to severe problems in most of the countries.  Honestly, we really need a change.

We buy imported clothes, foods and accessories.  We love buying stateside belongings.  We like owning dollars and euros.  Don't we?

Maybe, we're not fully aware of the disadvantages we get from owning these.  It hurts a lot every time we hear Philippines being belittled.   So if we would change, we would attain greater heights.

Change begins with me.  With you, too.  And with us.  It all starts within ourselves.  As John F. Kennedy said, "Do not ask what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country instead."

Kannawidan: A Showcase of Culture and Arts

We can stand up and proudly say the words "I am an Ilocano."  For we, Ilocanos, can boast to other places our preserved arts and cultures which are really unbeatable.

It has been a tradition to the Ilocanos to celebrate the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival annually during the first week of February.  This prestigious celebration is being witnessed by enormous tourists giving their best to reach Vigan City, the venue of the said occasion.

As a proud young Ilocana, fifteen years have passed in my life and I believe that Ilocos has really to showcase its  rich Iloco cultural, artistic, historical and intellectual heritage.  For the information of everybody, lots of activities are being done in connection with the Kannawidan Festival.  Some of this activities are the Kannawidan Trade Fair, Miss Saniata, Sarzuela and many others.  There are also intellectual contests which are truly useful in perpetuating Ilocos' hidden treasures.

Many positive impressions are being uttered by many tourists as well as guests who are invited to come and witness the celebration.  This long-week celebration is such a blissful occasion as we witness how rich the Iloco culture is.  Ilocanos could have said, "God is good."

For all these blessings, another year would make big improvements and changes to the economic stability of Ilocos.  The government and the citizens are working hand-in-hand in achieving great heights.

I salute the Ilocanos as I am proud to say that I am one of them!
