Change: It Starts With ME

I believe in constant progression. It goes with the saying everything changes.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Don't wait for people to change because you can't change other people. The only person you can change is yourself so change yourself if you want to. If you have to. Change yourself even when people won’t go looking for you after your old self goes missing. Change yourself if that means you can finally look at yourself in the mirror again. If it means you no longer have to avoid the truth in your own eyes. Change yourself if it makes you stop hating what is laying underneath the covers of your thoughts at night. Change yourself if it can let you can sleep again. Changing yourself doesn't mean losing what you really are. You just need to choose on what change you are going to. There's a change for the better. Improving yourself. A self progression. 

If you're going to stuck yourself and not seeking for the better version of yourself, for not trying to do better things that you can do, then life hasn't taught you any good lessons.

Celebrating Vigan fiesta

Locals of Vigan celebrate their rich heritage through different festivals set at different times of the year. The festivals serve to preserve the traditions of the city. Colorful and grand, these festivals express the joyful and vibrant lifestyle that the Ilocanos exemplify every day.  

Vigan Longganisa Festival is a city-wide festivity meant to celebrate the feast of the conversion of St. Paul, the city’s patron saint. Coinciding with the feast is the city’s celebration of longganisa, one of Vigan’s major product. Several events transpire during this week-long celebration including longganisa cook fest, marching band competition, and a whole lot more. In here, several groups dance on the streets of Vigan with a plate of longganisa on their hands while exclaiming the name of their patron saint where participants are expected to amaze tourists with their choreographed movements, colorful costumes made from indigenous materials and lively parade music.

 Other festivals of Vigan includes Kannawidan Ilocos Festiva, Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts and other festivals promoting the beauty and culture of Vigan City.

New Year, New Me

I don't believe in New Year's resolution. I believe in constant progression. 

Myself in the last years is still me in this year. Me becoming better. Not completely changing, but improving by enhancing good traits and correcting what's bad in me. Last year, I may not be as active physically and socially, but this year, I'll try to improve my extrovert side.

For the last years I got my friends pushing me to be more active. In December, where all of us cousins reunite again, like the old times, I see sudden improvement in me. I became more active, just like when I was younger. Now that were apart again, I'm not letting myself to fall back. So this year, I will continue to improve myself.

I will aim for the better me.
