New Look

This is going to be a short post.

With a long and thick dry hair, I had to have a haircut. So I went to the parlor yesterday to choose a new hairstyle. Below is a comparison of how I look like before and after having a haircut.

Am- among Festival

The Am-among festival which started 3 years ago is annually conducted in Bontoc. This is in celebration of the establishment of Bontoc as a town; it aims to promote peace and unity by means of a gathering. The highlights of the festival include cultural presentations, folk dances, street dancing, and search for the Mr. and Ms. Am-among pageant. I can say that this event can help in the preservation of our culture because through this, the children are able to learn the lifestyle of the Bontocs despite of the modern world we have now.

Last last week, the 4th Am-among Festival was conducted and we celebrated the 100th year of Bontoc as a town. Many joined the celebration- town folks and people from afar. There were a lot of activities going on during the festival so we joined some; we performed a folk dance and a ground demonstration and had fun. The festival was quite boring but I still appreciate it because it has a good purpose.
