Always on Valentine’s Day: A Celebration of Love and Achievement

-

    Who says Valentine’s Day is only for couples? This year, February 14 turned out to be extra special for me, not just because it’s the day of love, but because it was also our 3rd Recognition Day! Imagine, hearts and awards all in one day. I got to spend this meaningful occasion with the people who matter most, my family. It was a day filled with double the joy, double the love, and memories that I’ll keep close to my heart forever.

    The day started with excitement as I got ready for school. I was nervous but happy, knowing that I would be going up on stage to receive an award—well, not exactly a big stage, but right there in our classroom. When my name was called, I walked proudly to the front of the room, and I could see my tita smiling from the back of the class, and that moment felt like the best Valentine’s gift I could ever ask for. Being recognized for my hard work was great, but having my family there to share it with me made it even more wonderful. It showed me that love isn’t just about gifts—it’s about being there for each other, cheering each other on, and celebrating every little win.

    After the ceremony, we went out to eat to celebrate. We sat around a table, talking and laughing, and the food tasted even better because we were together. My parents told me how proud they were, and my siblings shared their own stories and wishes for me. We didn’t need fancy presents or grand gestures. Just being with them, sharing a meal, and feeling their love was enough. It made me realize that Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love—it’s about all kinds of love, especially the love of family that stays with you always.

    As the day came to an end, I thought about how lucky I am. I had a day that combined achievement and love, all with the people who love me unconditionally. This Valentine’s Day taught me that love is something we feel every day, not just on February 14. It’s in the way my family supports me, the way they celebrate my successes, and the way they are always there for me. So even though the day is over, the love stays. For me, with a family like mine, it’s always Valentine’s Day—every single day.

     Hi! My name is Khaizel Faith Artates Tubera, and I’m currently 15 years old, I’m still figuring things out, just like anyone else. I was born on June 30, 2010, in a small town called Busiing Sur, San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, and I currently live in Busiing Norte, San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur. I only have one sibling, and I am the first born on both my mother’s and father’s sides. Being the oldest of one child and the first grandchild on both sides makes life interesting. Since I was little, I’ve been a bit sickly, which, in a strange way, has given me a deep appreciation for those moments when I feel truly well. Wanna know more about how that shaped me? Keep reading!      My name, Khaizel, comes from a magazine my parents found, and Faith is from the Tagalog word “pananampalataya”, meaning faith. Funny enough, w hen I was a child, my grandmother used to call me “pencil case” because she had difficulty pronouncing my name. People often describe me as quiet a...

Discovering San Ildefonso: A Hidden Gem in Ilocos Sur

     Have you ever stumbled upon a place that completely surprised you? That's San Ildefonso for me. Tucked away in Ilocos Sur, Philippines, this small town is more than just a dot on the map; it's a treasure trove of history, culture, and unexpected sights.        My adventure began with the iconic Airplane Cafe. Okay, so the cafe isn't running anymore, but the airplane itself? Still there, right in front of the municipal hall! It’s a surreal sight, a massive airplane in the middle of a provincial town. I learned it used to be a popular cafe, and even though it's closed, it remains a favorite spot for photos. Imagine that: sipping coffee inside an airplane, right in the heart of Ilocos Sur. It's a quirky, unforgettable landmark.      Next, I visited the Saint Ildefonse Parish Church. This church has seen centuries pass by. Originally a simple chapel in 1709, it became a full-fledged parish in 1875. The convent was built in 1803, and the...
