New Year, New Me!

      I've been writing in my journal with fresh fervor in the week leading up to New Year's Eve for as long as I can remember.

I make a list of the highlights and challenges of the previous year, as well as my new year's objectives, hopes, and plans. I make vision boards out of cut-out magazine clippings and Pinterest photos to find my ideal look for the coming year.

However, I've found that giving too much weight to New Year's resolutions always makes me feel deflated, even if these practices made me feel prepared for the upcoming challenges and excited for new opportunities.

The repeated comparisons and public exchange of resolutions make the new year feel like a competition rather than a thrilling, new beginning.

Thematic

        The global epidemic had a significant impact on the Vigan City Fiesta this year. They ensure that it is commemorated in some form by leveraging social media outlets, while adhering to health rules such as vaccination cards to keep people safe. The city government planned a low-key celebration, emphasizing the importance of social distance and hygiene standards. To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, everyone must follow all hygienic procedures. Hand washing, wearing a mask, and using hand sanitizer are just a few of the health and safety precautions that can be observed to keep everyone safe.        The Vigan festival is not celebrated in the same way as it used to be, but it still helps us recognize and comprehend the significance of the occasion and our tradition.

My dad's a Farmer also a former OFW,fisherman to be exact My life isn't perfect; I made a lot of mistakes at a young age, and I guess that's part of growing up. My life became more boring during the pandemic, but I learned valuable lessons. It bothers me sometimes when I abruptly cut people out of my life, because I might end up with no one and be alone. Being alone isn't that difficult because it can provide you with peace of mind; what's difficult is feeling alone. If being alone means having peace of mind, then I enjoy being alone and would prefer to be alone. As I previously stated, life is difficult, but it becomes even more difficult when a pandemic strikes. To be honest, I ...

Celebration of Christmas Season in its essence amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

    This is most likely the first time in modern history that we are encouraged to celebrate the season of Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity.     We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to enjoy the typical Christmas cheer and merrymaking.         Covid, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas celebrations! This Season, let us share more hope, peace, joy, and love!         This is where I am reminded of our Savior's birth. Simply said, it's a Christmas story. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was born in a manger. A shepherd, a few animals, ...
