New Deeds in Celebrating Fiesta in Vigan

            Celebrating of various festivals and celebrations that bring families and friends together in the midst of COVID 19 Pandemic is the best. We all knew that interacting and not following the social distancing make things worse to worst because we cannot see the virus  nor touch nor smell nor hear.

            These January 25 we celebrate the Fiesta of Vigan City that commemorates the town’s patron saint, St. Paul the Apostle but there is no parade, no beauty contests, no cultural shows and others that makes the Fiesta of Vigan memorable just because of this pandemic but we grew up celebrating this festival and trying to make the fiesta enjoyable without disobeying the rules.

           Coping with the disappointment that we may not be able to mark an occasion in the usual way, particularly events which have special meaning, can be challenging. We may feel a range of emotions akin to grief and sadness, which is completely understandable. Accepting the reality of our situation without holding on to the hope that maybe things will return to ‘normal’ in time, can help. If you can reduce the gap between your expectations of the ‘perfect holiday’ and the reality of what’s possible, you can plan how to balance safety and celebration. 

            It’s good to keep in mind that while preparing a celebration can be a happy and exciting time for many, some people can feel under a lot of pressure to create the perfect experience for their loved ones. This can cause increased stress, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy which may be heightened this year with the additional barriers in place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the extra demands of the season, try to balance your sense of obligation against your need for self-care.   

            Vigan City Fiesta celebration is still memorable and some what enjoyable even if there’s a lot of challenges to partake in celebrating our traditions.

Reflection About The Learnings and Challenges this 2nd Quarter

Image
          During the Second Quarter, I discovered that I have some knowledge about this kind of lesson which includes using laptop and typing. I learned how to use notepad even though it takes time to do it because of so many words or symbols you must put to make your writings understandable.           Even though I have this kind of little bit knowledge of this I also encountered problems and challenges that it really takes time for me to do this because of my old keyboard last time. I finished my tasks or things needed to do even if I have hard time in doing this and sometimes lack of time doing this because I need to help my mother in checking a lot of modules. I ask a favor to my parents to buy a new keyboard. Moving on I will give more effort doing tasks and outputs well for me to understand the lesson properly and to have more knowledge on using this app even if sometimes it’s really hard to learn in th...

Why Do We Need to Celebrate “Araw ng Kagitingan?

Image
As we honor the existences of overlooked yet truly great individuals who battled on the Day of Valor, Tatler summarizes all that occurred in the Philippines this day 79 years prior. Araw ng kagitingan also known as Bataan day and Bataan Corregidor day is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan during world war two. It falls on April 9 although in 2009 its celebration was moved to April 6, 2018 from conceding with Maundy Thursday. The historical backdrop of this world is inadequate without the consideration of the Second World War or World War 2, the most horrendous and overwhelming fighting pursued by people against one another. It included by far most of the nations and Global forces during the period 1939 to 1945. The conflict was essentially pursued between two contradicting military collusions: The Allies fundamentally containing the United Kingdom and British Empire, the Third Republic of France, Soviet Union, United States of America and t...

Reflection for the Fourth Quarter

Image
 1. What are the learnings/discoveries that I have gained?  The learnings and discoveries that I have gained this fourth quarter lessons is that I thought I have that much idea about this websites and any more about social media but I found out that there are many more things that I don't know about medias and websites.  2. What are the problems/challenges that I have encountered? The problems and challenges that I have encountered is that I have damage in eyes which means that I don't have that plenty of time to do and to read my modules by answering because every time my eyes aches I'll rest my eyes.  3. How did I address these challenges?  I address this challenges positively because I finished all my tasks in the given time or I passed it on time.  4. Moving on, I will…. practice what I have learned and I will try to study or to increase my knowledge about this.  References: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2F4liberty.eu%2Fse...
