Preparedness Equates to Change


It runs in the blood.

We Filipinos are known for our resiliency when facing different challenges that come our way. We may fall hard and get hurt but we will bounce back. In conjunction, those scars and wounds will heal as time goes by. Thus, we yearly have the National Disaster Resiliency Month that’s being held every month of July.

“Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa Tunay na Pagbabago.” This is the theme for this year. If we try to put it in pieces, the completed puzzle would picture a more developed or changed country that is always prepared for any risk or disasters that come what may.

Everyone knows that our country, the Philippines, is a disaster prone country due to its geographic location. The whole nation is being told to always be prepared and evacuate though some are still hard-headed.   Disasters are inevitable yet preparedness comes in handy when facing these catastrophic events.

It should start from themselves.  Being prepared means that you are ready for any wave that comes crashing towards the shore you’re on. Not just physically but also emotionally, mentally, and spiritually equipped. Once we’re prepared, a drastic change would happen. Not just in the country but also to everyone.

Fellow Filipinos are optimistic thinkers. This results in them being able to jump over the hurdles blocking their paths. Everyone should also be thinking positive about their situations in order for them to still have hope to survive every single day.

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...

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." -Leo Tolstoy The world has already changed and still, it continues to change. A lot of people wish to change the world yet they don't think of changing themselves first. Issues and concerns are increasing in number. People would comment about helping in fixing the world bu their words are empty. They keep on saying things as I may quote, "Change is needed", "The world needs change". If we look behind those words, is it that they are trying to transform it even if they haven't changed themselves first? Change should start within. Before, I was also a part of the group who always goes on and on about change being a must. But now, I realized that, that thinking I had was immature for requesting the having of change without changing yourself is quite ironic if you ask me. My mindset now is more on focusing on myself first then making a ripple. Metamo...

Heritage From the Past

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...
