Vigan City, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, has been transformed greatly over the time. From being a municipality to a city, it continues to allure both locals and tourists.                     Vigan before was a municipality known for its well-preserved Spanish architecture, like the famous cobble streets and ancestral houses.

                                       The New Year is a fresh beginning and new full of new goals. It's the chance to leave behind mistakes we made and focus on making the better version of ourselves.

Before Christmas eve, I spent a few days watching movies. It was a great way to get ready into the holiday. Learning lessons from watching those movies made this experience even more special.

We also ate together as a family on Christmas Eve and my stomach was fulled that time. The Christmas was truly special, and I'll carry these memories into the next year. I may not h...
