Insights on Kannawidan 2019 ; Yay or Nay?

It's that time of the year again, where we celebrate the separation of Ilocos Sur and Norte by being merry for the whole festival. This is my insight, on Kannawidan 2019. Kannawidan was super jam-packed this year. I normally don't have an interest IN Kannawidan, but this year's festivities were too good not to miss. Star-studded guests performed, new activities emerge and memorable moments were made. Clearly, they've cranked up the production level up by bringing big names to the table; December Avenue and Unique Salonga, just to name  a few. The quality of events have gotten way higher and way more enjoyable. Tourists and people from other parts of the country even came to see what Kannawidan was all about, and judging by their faces and reactions, they had an amazing time. Props to the Governor and everyone who organized this huge festival. Overall, Kannawidan was a great success this year. This year's Kannawidan was a BIG YAY! Perfect events, perfect star g...

High School Day ; Yay or Nay?

High School Day; the celebration of the foundation of our school. This event, for me, is the only one I kinda enjoy, and I actually get to participate fully. The question is, is the High School Day a Yay, or a Nay? This is my insight on this Year's HS Day. This year's HS Day, was, interesting. I'm gonna have to be blunt here and say that this year's HS Day was quite normal. Though he day was uneventful, most of the field demos were fun to watch. So many people complained about this year's rendition, but I cannot complain. I know that they can make next year's event better. It was kind of enjoyable. The happiness that this year gave was just a 7 second smirk. It quickly faded away. Props to the organizers for giving their best, but it can be improved. To be honest, the preparation was more fun than the event itself. For me, the HS Day is not a Nay or a Yay, it is NEUTRAL. it was fun, but there were parts that were not fun. I hope that next year...
