After the hassles and stress for the last few months, now that I got through another quarter, I feel relieved and grateful. This quarter I learned about making html files. I learned about the basics of html, html links, html tags, and more. I also gained more knowledge in blogging and I enjoy blogging a lot. It feels nice to customize your webpage and have something to post on your blog every now and then.

However, when the pandemic started, the fiestas are no longer as grand and large as they used to be. One of the most celebrated festivals is the Vigan City Fiesta held every January 25, in honor of the feast of St.Paul the Apostle, the patron saint of Vigan City.

People around the country and the world, especially the Bigueños visit our hometown to celebrate the fiesta. The festival lasts for days and gathers a lot of tourists because of the different activities held like street dancing performances, carnivals, exhibits and many more. There are also food fairs, a...
