CHANGE STARTS WITHIN ME

Change. Change. Change.

                 "There is nothing permanent in life except change," said philosopher Heraclitus. Others have called change or variety as 'the spice of life'. So, changes (shuffle or reshuffle) in the government from time to time should come as no surprise to anyone, though changes in the political arena are often viewed with suspicion.

                   Change is in the very nature of being. Every new day is different from the previous day. Body metabolism is one such process as also growth of trees and revolving of planets. Tides come and go. Sometimes a whole river changes its course as was the case with itself.

                 The great insight of enlightened,  as the everything that is, will change and the changed will change further. Hence, one must neither get attached to joy (happiness) because that will pass away; nor get depressed with sorrow (suffering) because that too will pass away. Nothing is really permanent in this world.

KANNAWIDAN

What Does Kannawidan Means?

In every hometown, province or even the whole region has its own celebration promoting their different cultures and beliefs. As the month of January ends, the celebration starts to tremble! Cause the Kannawidan starts to shout out loud.

But what does Kannawidan means? It means a lot but it only takes one meaning for this word to all Ilocandia. The word means “nakaugalian” or imply in English, “have already worn out”. Meaning the different cultures that has been worn out by Ilocano’s.

In every festivities, there is hidden word which promotes its culture.

NEW YEAR NEW ME

Be Responsible and Be Lucky for 2014

When the clock strikes at 11:30, people start preparing the table for Media Noche. Children take their Toro tots and any material used to create noise. Adults try to light some explosions, fireworks or firecrackers and even pinch the gun into the sky. But what about me?

Some people say that they should have to list down their new year’s resolution and change their lies for the better. But for me, I go visit our church and thank god for what I had received on 2013. I asked guidance and not just for the sake of me, my family and friends but also for the unfortunate people. I do pity them. Lastly, I would promise that I would be a better person. For that war freaky girl, irresponsible child and student….. Would turn into a better person.

I would try my best lust to change. I’m going to wash out the bad memories before but never the lesson I’ve ever learn.
