This year's Vigan Fiesta is the most spectacular and most unforgettable for me. It is because, I was a part of the grand parade as a CAT officer of our school. It was my first time to join such prestigious event and I was so excited. The route of the parade was too lengthy making it to be a tiring one. It gave me pains in both joints and muscles as well as body pains. But despite of all those endeavors is still a smile in my heart. It was really a great experience that completed the puzzle of my high school life.

As I reminisce the day when I was a superstar (having a part in the parade) a smile carved on my face. Though it made me remember a painful day, it likewise made me remember a stunning day!
