Friends Forever!

ICT introduced me the world of Photoshop. I admit that I am still impressed to my classmates’ work even though I already know how to use it. We’re already done discussing about Photoshop but I feel like it’s not yet enough. The time has come to an end. Our JHS life, the SSC life, and the MaxConi life…

Thank you for the 4-year fun, excitement, inspiration, laughters, and conflict between us. I know we encounter many misunderstandings but these makes our bond even stronger.

To our dearest teachers, thank you Ma'ams and Sirs for your time and sacrifices. We promise to bring these learning to a whole new level. This time, we will make you proud!

In my mind, my soul, and in my heart, I will miss these memories. This blog also came to an end.

This is the true definition of friendship, love, and unity. John Benedict P. Dizon, now signing off.

See You Again In The Future Us!

I have been counting down the days since the beginning of our Junior High School year. I could still remember, it seems like just yesterday that I was a scared little freshmen wandering these buildings and halls of Ilocos Sur National High School. And now, I am walking through the same halls wondering where the time has gone. We have spent four years together and that still doesn’t feel like enough for me. Let us not forget the adventures we have done, the countless tests we have completed, and most importantly some of the best friendships that we have ever made.

But this is it my friends, all of our lives are about to change. As we approach graduation and head our separate ways, I know there’s a bright future ahead of us and everyone has a dream in his life which they want to achieve. Future professionals like doctors, accountants, nurses, lawyers, engineers, architects, teachers are about to be born among us.

I have recently thought what job I would like to have in the future. It was a tough decision and question but I came to an answer. Since first year of high school to fourth year I was in the Special Science Class, and I will be taking STEM strand for my Senior High School in preparation for my college course. I want to become a Doctor. For me, it has got a lot of advantages over other jobs. Doctor is a profession which always be needed. People will always get sick or ill, we can’t change it but a doctor can help it. I know becoming a doctor requires long studies and a lot of hard work. But with all the sacrifices that my parents are exerting just to send us to school with my siblings, I don’t have reasons not to give my very best all the time. With firm determination, strong faith in GOD, good values and virtues, I assure I will have the best of life in the future, not because of the luxuries in life, but the richness of love and compassion to people and unending passion for God.

Whatever challenges and hindrances that we may encounter in the future, let us always be strong. Remember, we are strengthen by the trials we experienced as part of the Special Science Class for four years. Let us use it in every chapter of our lives… See you in the future fellas!!!

Ilocos Sur National High School @ 118

It is one of the most significant events that happens in ISNHS since it is the celebration of its founding. One of the highlights before a school year ends in ISNHS is the Foundation Day or High School Day Celebration. This year marks the 118th High School Day Celebration. This year, they made this a 1-day celebration. There are programs and coronation done and held in this celebration.

The field demonstration is the main event of the day where every grade level prepared an intermission number to showcase. Before the actual dance or field demonstration, the students, teaching and non-teaching staffs of ISNHS joins the parade together with the ISNHS CAT I UNIT.

This celebration surely makes our high school memories, memorable. This is why ‘high school life’ is the best.

Traditions to Remember

♪♫ Kannawidan, sangsangkamaysa tay a rambakan….♫♪

Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern Luzon. This year’s celebration was full of surprises. They invited many popular TV artist, conducted so many competitions. One of them was the street dancing competition where different provinces and other neighboring provinces showcased their cultures.

I myself can tell the joy to experience. I joined the Kannawidan Street Dancing Competition and its Showdown. That was the only event I joined in and I really enjoyed being a part of that event. That was only one of the main event. What more if you’ve gone all of them.

Some traditions and cultures are slowly fading and younger generations unrecognized it and Kannawidan is a great way to bring these back and won't let it totally fade.

Kannawidan is an event to look forward to – it is more than just a festival.

Chance to Change

Myself first before others. Many understood what it means. You may use it the positive way or the negative way. “Change is coming” said our present president, Rodrigo Duterte. I can say he is a good president. He promised to change the Philippines. As of now, drugs was his enemy and we can feel how he changed our country.

If you have a plan to change anything, first you have to change yourself. Nothing is permanent. The only thing that is constant in this world is change.

We all wanted to change our lives but were not sure how to do it. We all wanted new things. If you were given a change to change your life, do it before everything will come to an end. Remember, nothing in this world is permanent.

Viva San Pablo, Viva Vigan!!!

Traditionally, the fiesta is a time of joyful celebration for Filipinos. Fiesta is about your family and your friends sharing time together.  January is one of the biggest month of Vigan where they celebrate their cityhood and to give honor to their dearest patron, St. Paul.

Vigan City Fiesta is held every January 25. The Vigan City Fiesta usually lasts for several days. It includes within the period the celebration of Kannawidan and the anniversary of the cityhood of Vigan, which is commemorated every January 27.

Biguenos from all over the country and even abroad return to Vigan to join their family and friends in the celebration of their fiesta. They are joined by thousands of visitors from other parts of the Philippines and other countries in enjoying the cultural shows, parades and street dancing. There are also food fairs, arts and crafts exhibits, as well as a visiting carnival.

Participants from the different neighboring provinces in the northern region are also sent to compete in the various games and activities, particularly the street dancing competition. This participation by other municipalities makes the Vigan City Fiesta not only a local event participated in by Vigan’s officials, but a national event participated in by other local public heads and national officials. Within the Vigan City Fiesta days, the Longganisa Festival is also celebrated.

Joining the celebration is quite exhausting but I guarantee that you’ll find yourself enjoying.

Try to Be the Best

Happy New Year! I've made many promises in my life. Some  of them were accomplished, some of them were not. But either way, I will continue to finish all of them. There's nothing to loss if you try.


This year, I want to be a better student, a better son, a better friend. As a student, no more cramming, no more low grades. As a son, no more laziness. As a friend, be good always and just go with the flow. Hoping to achieve all. For myself, I want to lessen my weight. Tired of being fat. Less food, less fat, more exercise, more sports. I want to change my lifestyle, my life rather.


Do not be afraid to challenge yourself. this year, try to be new, better, and be the best. Try to change your life for a better. For these upcoming years, you'll be meeting these new things, new changes.
