Embracing Change: A Journey to a Better Me in the New Year

Image
    Embracing Change: A Journey to a Better Me in the New Year           "New Year, New Me" – a phrase that captures the spirit of fresh starts and self-improvement that many of us embrace as the calendar turns. The beginning of a new year is like a blank page, full of possibilities and opportunities for growth. It’s a chance to reflect on the past, let go of old habits, and set intentions for the future.           For me, the new year is all about focusing on personal growth, whether it's improving my health, learning something new, or simply being more mindful of the present. It's about taking small steps towards becoming a better version of myself, one day at a time.           I plan to embrace the idea of change not as a daunting task, but as an exciting journey. The goal is to make small, sustainable changes that lead to lasting growth, rather than aiming for perfection right away. W...

My Simple Christmas Holiday Experience

Image
  My Simple Christmas Holiday Experience    This Christmas, I decided to take things slow and enjoy the simple pleasures that the season brings. I spent most of my time at home, cozy in my space, surrounded by the warmth of the season.  I decorated my home with just a few Christmas lights and a small tree, keeping everything minimal but still festive. There was no rush to shop for gifts or attend big parties. Instead, I focused on the little moments that make this time of year special.     I spent quality time with my loved ones, enjoying long conversations and sharing simple meals. We didn’t do anything extravagant, but the togetherness was enough. The sound of laughter, the comforting smell of home-cooked food, and the quiet evenings by the fire felt more than enough to fill my heart with joy.      One of my favorite parts was just being present in the moment. There was no pressure, just a peaceful, simple holiday experience.  It ...

QUARTER 2 - REFLECTION

Image
  In the second quarter, I deepened my understanding of HTML, which is essential for website creation. I learned about different types of HTML tags, such as container tags (requiring both opening and closing tags) and empty tags (that stand alone). I gained knowledge about structuring HTML documents with tags like <html>, <head>, and <body>, and how to use heading, formatting, and horizontal rule tags. Additionally, I explored customizing web pages with backgrounds, fonts, and tag attributes, and learned how to include images, create frames, and design tables. This knowledge helped me confidently create simple yet functional web pages. However, I faced challenges, particularly in remembering the correct syntax and properly combining elements like images and tables. Debugging was often necessary as I sometimes forgot to close tags or misaligned them. Despite the strong HTML structure, creating visually appealing layouts proved difficult, causing some frustration. T...

THEMATIC Q2

 "The 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and the Significance of the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) Act" The Philippines annually holds the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), which spans from November 25 to December 12. This campaign is an expression of the country's commitment to raise awareness on gender-based violence, as it affects one in three women around the world. In the Philippines, the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) found that nearly one in five women have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual violence from an intimate partner. Laws like the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Act of 2004 must be the focus for this campaign because it relates directly to violence in intimate relationship contexts. The law frames protection against physical, emotional, and sexual abuse inflicted on women and children through protection orders and other means. These orders ensure that offender...

Climate Change and Resiliency of Filipinos.

Image
 "Climate Change and Resiliency of Filipinos." Climate change is a big problem that is making life harder for many Filipinos. Because the Philippines is often hit by typhoons, floods, and other natural disasters, the changes in our environment affect a lot of people, especially those who don’t have much. Even though these challenges are hard, Filipinos always find ways to recover and stay strong, showing the world what resilience means. One reason why climate change is getting worse is deforestation. When trees are cut down for farming, construction, or illegal logging, it leads to floods and the destruction of natural habitats. Another reason is the pollution caused by factories, cars, and the use of plastics, which increases global warming. These problems make typhoons stronger, cause sea levels to rise, and disrupt the lives of many Filipinos. Filipinos are resilient, but we can’t rely on resilience alone. We need to work together to solve the root causes of climate change...
