Ela's Thoughts

  We are already in the stage where almost everything revolves around the internet. It is quite alarming that varying information and photos can be used or given out like a piece of candy. Before posting anything, one must think of the various outcomes that may or may not happen should he post it. In addition, social media is widely being used as a method to express/rant about problems. One might just post what he is feeling without thinking of the consequences because his emotions were at its peak and will just lead to a bigger problem. Plus, not everything will be solved via internet. Your single click will affect everything but mostly you, yourself if not handed well. Be wise in making certain decisions and actions not only in the web, but also in life. Before you click, you must think. A reminder to all of us navigating the web.

It brought fear. It brought a lot of negativity. Despite the gloomy mood it brings, there arose a light in the darkness opening windows of opportunities.  This pandemic lingering around us truly brings fear as it puts people's lives at risk. Due to it numbers of establishments had to close down and cut down the number of employees as the economy declined. It started off to a gloomy start but it helped each and every one realize things during the quarantine.  The sudden end of the previous school year last March was a shocking news. I felt quite saddened after hearing it. As time flew by though, I realized that now that I have a lot of time to kill, why not start practicing skills that I have never done before. Do things that wanted to do long ago but lacked time.  During the quarantine period, I learned about myself more. I discovered about the things that I am passionate about and my weaknesses that I would want to improve. It was really about self-discovery during those times. Th

For fourth and last time.  Throughout the whole school year,  I have learnt a lot of new things self discovery was made. Minimal to no hurdles were faced for the last time. I overcame those by trusting and believing in myself and asking others for help, suggestions, and opinions. It was nice to do some stuff using Photoshop once again and it was great that I still remember some about it since we've learnt about it in eighth grade. My last year of junior high school. It was a great school year.  Reference: https://hsielpaso.harmonytx.org/5th-grade-awards-completion-ceremony/

Fast forward. Finding a stable job. Earning for dream house and dream car. As a junior high school completer, I should already be envisioning myself as my profession for the future years. The earlier descriptions are the things that I might be doing after college graduation. After how many years of studying and reviewing, me doing what I like will be the fruit of it all. Being successful in life is my dream, together with my family since they are my inspiration.  I'd rather be focused more on my work. Other things have their own time like having relationships. Analyzing the components of substances are much more fun in my opinion. Chemistry is my favorite branch of Science after all.  It's still a bit confusing as to what profession I would really like to do in the future. The important thing for me it's that I can achieve all of my dreams and cherish every moment together with my family and friends. Even if I'll be at the peak, I'll still remember

Foundation. Every relationship and organizations started from something small yet sturdy. Nearing the end of every school year, Ilocos Sur National High School celebrates High School Day. This celebration emphasizes on the year the institution was founded. When referring to the school's history, it was just a single building until it moved location and the campus expanded having more buildings and classrooms. The highlight of this is the presentation of each year level with boys and girls separated that have various themes and dance genres to show. But before the presentation, all sections of every grade level will have to parade around Vigan City (but not entirely) and go back to campus. Another thing is that Mr. and Ms. ISNHS will be having the coronation and others who are part of the Royal Court.  Always look back to the days where it all started.

Culture and heritage. Kannawidan is an Ilocano term which means feast of heritage and culture. This year marks the 202nd foundation of the province that separated from Ilocos Norte by a Royal Decree on February 2,1818. Kannawidan is an annual celebration of the province of Ilocos Sur. This festival of Ilocanos aims to restore the habit they have and showcase their inheritance from preceding generations. Kannawidan is derived from the Ilocano term "tawid" meaning inheritance. Just like in the previously held Vigan City Fiesta, there is also a food and trade fair located at Tamag grounds and the products are more diverse since it features different goods coming from the 22 towns of Ilocos Sur. There are also rides that people will enjoy. Additionally, Kannawidan is much more let's say extravagant in a way since artists come to the province and Ilocano fans have a chance to meet them up close. Highlights of this festival are the Saniata ti Ilocos Sur, Sania
