LENTEN SEASON :>>

growing up in a town where Holy Week turns people into passionate pilgrims and devotees, it has become usual for me to see local scenes exclusive for the Holy Week. Our town (well, politically Vigan is a city but I love calling Vigan as my 'town') transforms into a religious dream wonderland for different types of people. This is not limited to the passionate Roman Catholics who do the visita iglesia, stations of the cross and those who persistently wait for the start of the pursisyon (this is our local term for procession) who'll eventually recite prayers while they hold candles and rosaries as they walk with the carrozas that carry sculptures portraying the Roman Catholic's version of the gospel. I think it would be safe to say that Vigan is a major tourist destination now. But I would say tourists do not contribute a significant percentage to the Good Friday crowd because most of the people are locals. Even before Vigan became a major tourist destination, this has been the scene my bare eyes have always seen. The locals are passionate for their (our) Holy Week traditions and Vigan's ~55,000 population is composed mainly of Roman Catholics. Metro Vigan, a recognized district composed of cluster of towns adjacent to Vigan has more than 100,000 population and many Roman Catholics in this district also go to Vigan to participate.

Christmas Happenings during covid-19 Christmas day is coming and the pandemic is still on us and we can’t get rid of this if some of us are stubborn people. We can still celebrate our Christmas in our home after the mass and just make a simple celebration at home we don’t need to go out to celebrate the birthday of our loving Jesus , if your problem is lack of money ? … then you don’t need money to celebrate the x-mas you just need to make a simple celebration and then there you go , x-mas is doesn’t all about money as soon were happy , we celebrate.“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.” We can make our papa god happy if we show him that were celebrating and enjoying his birthdate. But still some of us are not celebrating Christmas because they doesn’t have money to cook something to eat, so if I’m the one who would be rich someday I will give a gift in every family out there that does have home to sleep and they’re just laying outside in the streets and you ca...

my own reflection to quarter 1

Image
My learning discoveries this quarter one that I’ve gained , I ‘ve learned a lot of lessons about computer and about blogs and about local area network and wireless ISP , and about the problems/ challenges that I have encounter . My problem sometimes is always the task 11 or the 12 because I don’t have a friends in other sections so I always choose my classmates, and sometimes we have a weak internet connection so sometimes I’m late to make my blogs but yeah I’m trying my best to make my works done at a time. The challenges I’ve encounter is like what I have said in my problems lately , our network is unstable and it’s really hard to do our school works. Our teacher is nice and she always reminds us to ask questions if we have some questions about the lesson but sometimes I’m shy to ask some questions. Moving on , on the next quarter I will give all my best to do my tasks. In this situation I've learned to maintain or make an schedule for doing my modules, because sometimes ...
