The second chapter of the school year

Image
          Another quarter has passed, and another one is yet to be unlocked. In this quarter, we have learned the basic uses of HTML tags. At first, I was puzzled about the topic because it very new to me. I kept doing it wrong, I didn’t understand the notes given to us as a guide in doing the activities. It was a struggle for me, good thing I have my friends to help me. They were there to help enlighten me about our topic.           I’m happy that my skills in writing have improved a lot, probably because of the blogs we compose weekly. I have gained confidence in sharing my own opinions in the world of social media. I was also enlightened about the festivals, history, and culture of our own province, the province of Ilocos Sur. I pretty much enjoyed every topic we have learned in the subject of ICT.           In the next quarter of this school year, I will try my best to improve more. I will try ...

         On the 14 th day of February, day 45 of the year, there is an annually celebrated day called “Valentine’s day” also addressed as “St. Valentine’s Day”. It is a tradition where people show different kinds of gesture and languages in expressing their love or affection for their significant other or loved ones.             On this day of the year, you can see couples on the street holding hands, taking pictures, and other romantic stuff. Some people say that Valentine’s day are only celebrated by people with significant others. No, this day isn’t only meant for couples, this day is about love. People commonly think that love is only between two peoples, but that is not the whole meaning of love. It could also be the love you give or receive from your loved ones. It also shows compassion and kindness to others.                This day isn’t celebrated for couples, it can b...

                             The Philippines has many of festivals, both major and minor, with at least one particular celebration occurring almost every day of the year. Filipinos absolutely love getting together to celebrate and share our rich culture and treasures with the rest of the world.           Celebrating feasts and festivals is part of our culture and tradition as Filipinos. We have a lot of unique and different festivals all over the world, in each region, where people can see and experience different things. Most festivals in the Philippines are religious in origin, but the religious element is traditionally secondary to the general spirit of celebration nowadays.           Different festivals are annually celebrated in different provinces in our country. As an Ilocano I would gladly share to you the pride of the Ilocan...

“Viva Vigan!”

Image
  Festivals, of several sorts, work both to fulfill specific needs and to provide entertainment. For religious, social, or geographical classes, these periods of celebration give a sense of belonging. Modern festivals based on cultural or ethnic subjects aim to remind members of their culture or tradition. In previous times, festivals were times when the elderly discussed stories and passed to the next generation some knowledge. Cultural feasts have also offered a way for families to meet and for people to find friends. To celebrate previous significant events, select anniversaries have annual festivals. The Philippines has so many festivals, these festivals celebrating moments in history that defined identity, polity and locality. The Philippines has over 42,000 festivals annually celebrated. These festivals are times when and where people gather, the same occasions when funds become generous for government units and the private sector. Fiestas are significant avenues for a...

"New Year New Me"

Image
          2020 was a very tough year for me. Unexpected events came and it caused me both pain and happiness, some of those events badly affected my mental health and its stability. Caused me to be unproductive and unmotivated in doing the things I loved before, I became lazy and irresponsible. I’ve gained and lost many people back in 2020.           This year I’m going to change and grow, I’m going to bring out the better version of myself. I’m going to face all the challenges this year is going to bring. I’m going to be courageous, I’ll face all my weaknesses and fears. We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges life will bring us.           They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. This year I will make myself a better person. It’s time to say goodbye to the old version of ourselves and say hello to the new and better one.

We can and We will!

  Before the new method of learning started, I underestimated its state of quality. I expected that this kind of learning method would be easier than the old method which is face-to-face learning, for the reason that I can effortlessly access various resources that might come on handy, one of these resources is something we mostly use today which is the internet. But my expectations turned around to the opposite direction. In this quarter, I've already learned a lot to be honest. I have gained knowledge from all the subjects, I even discovered things I didn't thought I'm capable of doing. I also discovered many things about myself that I haven't know before. The most stressful challenge I needed to cope-with in this quarter is Procrastination and laziness or lack of productivity. My unproductiveness is the reason why I'm struggling on answering modules and passing them on time. I always cram on finishing my modules and I hated this habit so much, I would have a ...

Raise awareness for Climate Change

                     Climate change, It's the fundamental theme of our time, and we're at a defining moment. From evolving weather patterns that threaten food production to increasing sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, climate change impacts are global in nature and unprecedented in scope. Without immediate action now, it will be more difficult and costly to respond to these impacts in the future. Because of human activities the Earth has gotten warmer for the past 50 to 100 years. An example of this are caused by greenhouses, greenhouse gasses occur naturally and are important to the existence of humans. They prevent some of the warmth of the sun from reflecting back into space and making Earth viable. The volume of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere has risen to record levels not seen in three million years. Gases emitted by greenhouses have high impacts on the climate and our health. By tra...
