Change for the Better

          “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.“

-C. JoyBell C.

          Truly, change is inevitable. The weather changes, feelings change, your favourite hobby changes, and people change which really means that everything changes.

           I am no saint. I’m not perfect. I have flaws and bad traits, but I’m trying to become better. I have a bad temper and sometimes, everything makes me mad. I also get hurt and cry at the smallest things. I get discouraged easily and I overthink everything that is happening. I feel bad about myself and I wanted to become a better version of me. Starting today, I will change my daily lifestyle and I will concentrate on being positive, happy and contented. I will seek guidance from the Lord through prayers and practice gratitude. 

          I believe that if you want something, then you will try your hardest to achieve or get it same as through when you really want to change and improve yourself.

Viva Vigan Fiesta!

          I wandered happily on the streets of the city proper and I could see the excitement on the faces of the people. The city is decorated with beautiful and colourful ’banderitas’ just right in time for the Vigan City Fiesta. Many tourists came to visit our town and to joyfully celebrate with us.

           The Vigan City Fiesta is held every 25th of January which is the celebration of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, Vigan City’s patron saint and it lasts for several days. It includes within the period the celebration of the anniversary of the cityhood of Vigan. As a part of the tradition, Bigueños return to their hometown to join their families in celebrating their town fiesta. Tourists also visit our town to join the celebration and enjoy the different parades, cultural shows, street dancing performances and visiting the carnival prepared by the local government and people in the community. 

          Our home is truly amazing and there is just so much exciting things to do and watch. I honestly anticipate our fiesta and I look forward to it every year. Viva Vigan City Fiesta!

2020: A Year for Self Improvement

               Time flies so fast that 2019 seems like a whirlwind. I have experienced too many emotional breakdowns and my patience was put to test. The path I walked in last 2019 was rocky and steep that I feel like falling and I would never reach my destination, but here I am, still fighting to survive and to continue living to have the future I’ve always dreamt of. 

            As the clock struck 12, I happily welcomed 2020 with a smile on my face and a positive thought that this year would be a time for healing, self love, happiness and contentment. I’m looking forward to what 2020 will bring and I am hoping that this year would be better than the last years. 

            For this year, I will concentrate on my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. I am going to remind myself that I will try and do things so I will live life with no regrets. I won’t forget to love myself and to know my worth. I will do my best to change my not-so-pleasing traits and I will do something ahout my patience and temper. I can’t wait to become better and I am hoping that 2020 will bring positive vibes and healing to everyone. 

            How about you, what were your thoughts about the new year?
