Self-awareness is the ability to focus on yourself and be able to evaluate your actions, thoughts or emotions, manage them and be able to improve them accordingly, even amidst a global pandemic.
Undoubtedly, during this global pandemic, I’ve been able to assess myself and have been able to improve my thinking and all that matters. I have my emotions and thoughts in check. As a result, I’ve been more productive and focused on what to improve or retain.
During this global pandemic, not only have I noticed changes in myself but also in the ever-changing environment. The people have been more cautious, though it didn’t stop them from gathering. Establishments became more strict, online selling became kind of a trend – that is, to earn money, and nature slowly healed itself now that we’ve been quarantined. Nevertheless, humans can be quite stubborn and persistent, they continued projects that harmed the environment and its dwellers all while turning a blind eye to the publics’ plea.
A simple yet significant initiative that even a Filipino Youth can contribute in the society amidst global pandemic is to strictly follow the health protocols. Staying safe could mean safety for others too. Moreover, as Filipinos who’re known for being resourceful, we find all possible ways to earn a living especially now that most businesses have closed due to the pandemic. In addition, one can also contribute by staying home. An initiative that can be done by anyone, especially the youth who don’t necessarily need to go outside that often.
Overall, I
think it’s a good thing to be aware of oneself. Daniel Chidiac, author of “Who
Says You Can’t? You Do” did say that being self-aware is not the absence of
mistakes, but the ability to learn and correct them. Another, as long as life
goes on, there will always be something for us to do. A must initiative to be
realized.

A man can dream as high as the sky. But that dream will stay a dream if you don't act on it. Every person goes through a lot of challenges before rejoicing in the moment of success. And it is true that success is sweeter and better if you do it yourself. 
There is a great deal of hurried preparations, anticipation, and excitement. Students and teachers alike rush about to make sure that every single thing is thoroughly inspected and prepared. Most especially their practices for the field demonstration. Every grade level think about winning, especially if its going to be their last. But of course we do not forget about enjoying every second of the day, since it is only a one-day event.
Ilocos Sur is a province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and they called it the “Kannadiwan Festival” held in the Heritage City of Vigan. 
The humans were blessed with intellect and a set of skills, and have been placed on Earth for a purpose. A lot of people think that doing the positive change is quite impossible, for an average individual that is. However, I believe and we must believe that each and every single one of us can make a difference. Even a small stone, when set off to the waters could make a ripple which adds up to the others.
A new chapter has begun.
Although the sad reality of it is that most of these resolutions only last for a few months, weeks, and even days. Some resolutions break.
As stewards, with our population that continues to grow, the world, the creations of God should've been in a healthier state. Much livelier than what it is in the present.

On the 4th day of November, the EsP Club hosted the opening of the 2019 Values Month Celebration in Ilocos Sur National High School, with the theme; "Pamilyang Pilipino: Patatagin; Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Makadiyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa.
Blessed with a wonderful weather, the EsP club were successful in the opening of the annual celebration. With a little dramatization of the Filipino core values to entertain the audience, and a few trivia given, they were able to present and announce to every single person present about the upcoming activities.
A few of these activities were Poster Making Contest, Kite Flying, Film Viewing, Tagis Talino, Spoken Poetry, Worship Song, Doxology, and Parol Making. 
That there is
much more going on behind that blog everybody would be seeing. I learned a few
more tags, how to add images, highlight, put background picture/color, and
hyperlinks.
