Farsighted Vision

In life, you can't really say, "In the future, I'll be this and that," because life isn't as simple as knowing what you want to be or what you want to happen and expecting it to happen just because you want it. Things always don't go according to plan. Some people might think I'm thinking too pessimistically, but I'm just being realistic. The chances of the events you want to happen happening are not always 100%, but you can do your part to make sure that percentage is higher.

I, like many people, have dreams and desires. In the next 10 years, I envision myself as a licensed nurse in a different country with a nice, cozy home that has a vegetable garden. Though it's nice to think about the future, I'd rather start working on my present to actually attain the future I want. As of now, I am pushing myself to be more diligent with my studies. I'm deciding where to go to college and starting to make my plan from A to Z.

Attaining my pictured future won't be easy; it will take a lot of time and patience. The future is far away, and looking at it closely might seem too blurry or hard to attain, but with perseverance and dedication, you will achieve your vision. You are responsible for the outcome of your decisions, and you have the power to change your destiny, but with great power comes great responsibility.

Rip Current

This quarter was.....a struggle to say the least. I knew life ain't cupcakes and rainbows but nothing could've prepared me for the reality check this quarter was cooking up for me. Reality struck me so hard across the face, that till this day i'm still on the floor. When I reflect on everything that transpired this quarter, I wonder how unlucky I had to be for it all to occur so quickly. I've never been under as much stress over so many different things. I was so stressed out that I was unable to cope with additional forms of stress. The waves lapping at the shoreline are a metaphor for my problems; they wet my feet, get sand under my toe nails, and make them feel wrinkled. To put it another way, they make me feel very depressed aka big sad. I do, however, have the ability to not feel overly depressed by simply making the best of the situation. It's one useful thing I learned this quarter: how to make the best of the worst. And even though this quarter put me throu...

Longganisa Festival!

The Longganisa Festival is typically observed in Vigan City on January 22 of every year, just a few days before the Vigan City Fiesta on January 25. If I were to describe the beauty of the Festival Its beauty isn't just found in the glamorous performances of the contestants. Nor the efforts of the program directors to provide a good show for all. But I also think that the people assembling to watch this magnificent show adds to its beauty. to buy locally produced food and to support the contenders. It is encouraging to see people coming together to celebrate a festival that has been going on for a long time. Because of our collective fear of contracting the pandemic, none of us were able to fully enjoy the festival. But now that we can all go outside without having to be afraid, I have to admit that I can call this experience beautiful. REFERENCES: Angela Marie Aurellado, January 22, 2023.

The Great Week

One of the most important religious occasions in the Philippines is Holy Week. It is known as the Great Week in the Greek and Roman liturgical texts because God performed great deeds during this week.During this seven-day festival, Filipinos have the chance to ponder their faith, remember Jesus Christ's death, and show their devotion through a variety of customs and practices. Beginning on Palm Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, Holy Week in the Philippines officially begins. Filipinos attend mass on this day and are given palm fronds as a memento of the event. On Holy Monday, a lot of believers visit churches and take part in the "Visita Iglesia," which entails stopping by seven churches to pray and consider the Stations of the Cross. Holy Week is a time for Filipinos to spend time with their families and friends in addition to participating in religious rituals. Many people use this time to travel and visit family members who live i...
