Just like an easily spreading virus, happiness also spreads quickly. In this world we are living in, it's getting hard to pull off a genuine smile because of problems that one goes through. Not only adults but also teenagers and children who are studying worry about lot of school requirements needed to be passed. 

Nowadays, school is a prison. Students are chained and cannot break free from it. They tend to focus on their grades and academics that it compromises their health like wise, their well-being. When you see their faces you will see that it's void of any emotion. Because of school works and the like, they even forget to smile and laugh to wash away problems temporarily. Because of this, the  DepEd-Region 1 thought of a way to relieve students from their stress, problems, and worries which is the launching of the "Happy Schools Movement." 

This movement seeks to promote every school in the region as a better and enjoyable place  to study.  Being happy means that you love what you are doing. You enjoy it to the extent that other people around you will also feel the same and goes on like a domino effect or the rippling of water. When going to school one will be optimistic about the idea of studying and learning.

“Happiness and school quality are inseparable as the happy schools framework serves as reference for measuring the quality of our education.” as quoted by Dr. Malcolm Garma, DepEd Region 1 Regional Director.

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
