       Vigan is a popular tourist destination for its museums and architecture. But it is also known for Longganisa, a local salami. This dish is prepared according to centuries-old traditions and has a truly unique taste. There have been several attempts to recreate the combination of sliced ​​savory meat, cane vinegar, and garlic, but nothing compares to local chefs.      At the end of January, the city of Vigan celebrates a fiesta and the Longganisa Festival is part of its festive programme. It is usually celebrated between January 22nd and 25th, but the dates vary from year to year. During the festival, all visitors can taste authentic Vigan Longganisa. Locals usually eat longganisa for breakfast, but the food itself is too delicious to eat only in the morning.     Same show every year but you can never predict what these marching bands will play and perform just like the time I watched the street dance. I thought to myself that these bands will play the same tune. But I was wrong,

            2nd Quarter was full of challenges. But everyone knows what comes after challenges; solutions. This quarter was stressful than 1st quarter as topics of every subject became harder and for me, less understandable. But here I am! writing my reflection on this quarter. I made it to the end! Like they say, the sun will always shine after the rain.     I  have found that personal study helps me learn more effectively. That said, I'm currently studying on my own, so I had a lot of trouble. With homework, lots of tests to prepare, and extra projects to complete the next day, the increased workload proved unbearable and difficult to manage my time. Given the effort I put into school. 8 hours of sleep every night is rare.      I did what I could and tried to overcome these obstacles. I realized that I am not always perfect. As a result, I no longer mourn the loss and accept what happened to me. We will continue to be optimistic and strive to act quickly without hesitation. I wor

            New Year's celebrations include all of the many celebrations around the world that celebrate the beginning of the new year. Different calendar systems such as the Gregorian calendar, the ancient Greek lunar calendar, and the Jewish religious calendar all celebrate the New Year on different dates, so they never occur at the same time. Many Chinese New Year traditions center around New Year's Eve, December 31st.     My New Year was great. In the last two years, we did not celebrate New Year fun, it was full of anxiety, worrying, sadness and many more. But this year, I can say that this celebration was great, it was full of happiness, no negative thoughts, feelings and a lot more. I got to meet my relatives this new year! I have a few new year's resolution, no laziness, no cramming (wow this did not age well since I crammed this blog), and less times with gadgets. I can say that these resolutions are a little bit c liché but I can gurantee myself, I can do it.  REF

      Economy is considered as the backbone of our country. Economy is important to every country as it measures a country's economic status whether it is poor or rich. Ways to improve economy is to patronage our own products or what we say, "More exports, less imports". In this way, economy in a country will arise.      Now this event conducted by the TLE and STEP Club called the "Estudyantepreneur" is a very good example of the "More Exports, less imports". This event calls all TLE students to show off not only their culinary skills but also their technical skills and also home economics. Some of the culinary art skills are "Bagnet" Making, Longganisa Making which ground pork stuffed in pig's intestine and many more. Technical skills also include basic electronics repair etc. Home economics include dress making etc. What I learned on this particular event is this aims to train students on the field of not only culinary and technical ski

As the central festival of the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by Advent or the Birth Fast, which historically in the West ushers in the Christmas season, which lasts for his twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night.

It is because I get to meet again my relatives from afar and celebrate Christmas with them. It's truly heartwarming to celebrate Christmas with your relatives especially if it's Christmas time you'll only meet them. Dazzling Christmas lights and huge Christmas trees with different kinds of sparkly
