     The Vigan City Fiesta is held every January 25. It is celebrated on the feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. St. Paul is Vigan City’s patron saint. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul, a zealous persecutor of Christians. After he was touched by a personal encounter with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus, his name was changed to Paul, and he endured a lot of hardships and danger to spread the word of God to far places.        These photos were taken during Education Night on January 21, 2023. This event was attended by different educators from elementary, junior high, and senior high schools under SDO Vigan City. Many teachers participated in the said event; some showcased their singing and dancing skills. Ilocos Sur National High School bagged 2 nd place in their performance. The teachers’ performances were mesmerizing and fun to watch. The audience was amazed at their props, makeup, and singing and dancing sk...

     I have learned a lot about a lot of topics and activities this quarter, such as HTML and posting blogs about our community. I am eager to learn more because I find it interesting and fun. I might make some mistakes, but I still learn from them. I did get a high score, which made me happy. I will do my best this next quarter to participate in the upcoming activities on this subject. When you investigate this topic, it is enjoyable, but it may be difficult because you will need to check every line of code or tag to see if it is correct; one mistake will ruin the whole project.

     The start of a new calendar year is marked by the time of day known as "New Year." It is a common tradition celebrated by all, it includes attending parties, making new year's resolutions, and eating foods.        Just one single strike of the clock will change the year to a whole new one.  Though it can be considered as a usual tick, it is not because it not just changes the date and month, but also the year we have lived for 365 days.  It is considered pretty important by many as it signifies the beginning. New Year is not just about celebrations and resolutions; it is more than what meets the eye.  It symbolizes motivation for many new beginnings. Another new 365-day journey begins with New Year's eve being the first day.  Though we live the same life with just a set of new resolutions made to break later, we tend to believe that it is a new start.  If you ask us why the new year is celebrated, then our answer is th...

     Christians celebrate Christmas because it commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. It is celebrated on the 25th of every December. Christmas is as much about giving as it is about receiving.        On December 24, 2022, I and my family prepared many foods for us to eat on Christmas Eve; we even stayed in contact with our grandparents and cousins through video calls. We are not able to go to our family's house because we can't leave our pets alone again, which causes them stress. The last time we had our whole family gather was in 2019, after 6 years. We spent Christmas Eve happily because we are complete and content with what we had. My family watched movies and played games; we spent our vacation spending quality time with each other. On Christmas Eve, we are eating and talking to our relatives; we have many stories to tell and share, and we cherish each and every moment because this only happens once a year.        Eve...
