     Everyone has dreams and ambition in life, whether they become a doctor, scientist, and discover and amazing things. Many people have careers that they do not enjoy. In my future, I see myself enjoying my job. I have dreams for the future just like everyone else.my ambition in life is to be the best doctor, to serve my community.      When I become a doctor, I will help the poor and needy and I will volunteer my services to ensure that they live better lives. Being a doctor means studying hard and get good grades. Being a doctor is not just a career, it is a symbol of joy and hope. I can only hope that I make wise and careful decisions about my life. Every choice I make affects my future, I am confident that I have a bright future and I am on my way to better life.      Although I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I hope that every day is an adventure and that my future will be full of excitement and love. All I can do now is to focus on today and plan for tomorrow. H

     Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos. Kannawidan Ylocos Festival became an annual festival that aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province’ rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products of the province. There is a need to preserve our rich heritage and unique culture.      The Ylocos Region is very rich in many aspects. It is full of extraordinary historical events which made the region unique among the other regions. And this includes the foods, delicacies, literary works, tradition, ethnic music, handmade products etc.      This is such a great and important occasion for all the Ilocanos.

     Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” — Leo Tolstoy. Everyone has an opinion on what is wrong with the world, yet few will do the work to improve their own lives. Changing the world begins with improving who we are on the inside.      I can improve the world by consciously looking around and thinking, at every opportunity, How can I help? The most powerful way one can change the world isn’t simply by doing one thing, but instead is a way of life revolving around the concept of altruism. The positive impact I can make starts within myself; by becoming a truly giving person, I can change the world. While self-improvement may seem a passive process, it’s actually a challenge requiring daily practice.      If you want to change reality start with yourself first and attend to your own personal development. In doing so, problems give way to solutions and no longer affect you.

     When the new year comes around it seems like the perfect time for self-improvement. Even though I’ve always failed my new year’s resolutions, every year I promise myself that this time will be different. Everyone has an opinion on what is wrong with the world, yet few will do the work to improve their own lives.      Why do I see myself as a failure? Why do I see everyone better than me? Why do I see myself nothing? Back then, I suffered anxiety when weekdays. School means a lot of recitations and speeches in front. I always feel nervous whenever teacher asks every one of us to speak in front, I was worried because I might fail. But when time has passed, I learned to be better. Every new year, I always make a list of my resolutions.      It’s not enough to state just once, when the new year begins. You need to repeat your resolution every day, with belief and faith, and be willing to do whatever it needs to accomplish them not just repeat the words with your lips.

     Christmas has come around once more. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the king, the redeemer of mankind. But Christmas is not about the birthday of god’s son and that’s not also the reason why we celebrate and honor Christmas better than our birthday or any important anniversary in the family.      If god really wanted us to celebrate it that way, god would have schemed Jesus’ birthday in the same fashion we celebrate it today. But he chose a simpler way to do things because he wanted us to celebrate the “essence” not the event.      At Christmas, we are expected to spare time to contemplate on things eternal. That is, we must remind ourselves that we are strangers here on earth, that are real home is in heaven. And that no matter how long we live, we shall sure die one day.
