It is finally 2020.
The first day of 2020 has officially arrived. While some may still be in bed making up for lost sleep the previous night due to the festivities in ushering in the new year, we were at the Enrique Villanueva Plaza for the town’s annual founding anniversary celebration.
There were only a few of us, EVNHS Faculty present; but despite the small number, the fun was still there. We weren’t the only ones in there anyways. The plaza was abound with people in red colored shirts – or in anything red – to symbolize the town’s color.
After the mass at 8 AM, there was a motorcade which was participated in by the stakeholders of the municipality – both internal and external. A flower offering to then Governor Enrique Villanueva followed. After an hour or more, the Salu-salo was done with all those present partaking in the sumptuous food prepared by the LGU and the barangays.
A program will be held in the afternoon, but this author is too sleepy to watch. I am very much certain though that it is going to be as fun and eventful as the activities staged this morning.
Who says Enrique Villanueva only has 13 inhabitants?
Another angle of the venue still showing the number of participants to this January 1 event.
My principal, Mr. Reynaldo Santos and my colleague, Mrs. Anna-Liza Jimenez apparently discussing some important matters.
And here is your writer, waiting for the food to be served 😂😂😂.
Happy New Year, everyone

I am me, nothing more, nothing less.
I think for myself, decide for myself and speak for myself. If I agree, I say so. If I don't, I say so or just go my way and leave no trace at all.
I don't necessarily want everyone to agree with me or take my side on issues because basically, they are just issues to contend with --- to face as a demon to be fought or an eye opening saga which would ultimately lead to betterment of the self.
I don't do things because it's the "in" thing. I do everything for a friend but never to the extent of losing my self respect and losing perspective of the things I believe in.
I wage my own war and fight it to the finish knowing there is no other way for the war to be won.
I stand for my ideals no matter how feeble they may appear to others because they're an extension of the person that I am.
I may not be the best Christian... it's arrogance to do so for only God can rightfully judge my faith. But I believe in a God who is just and fair. And I believe that only God brings to me those blessings which are my fair share.
I couldn't boast of anything for they aren't mine --- they're blessings. Circumstances have conspired to make me what I am and therefore, I remain as I am.
I am your friend.
