Heartfelt Ways to Express Love on Valentine’s Day



    Valentine’s Day, observed on February 14th, is a celebration of love, affection, and romance. It has historical roots tracing back to St. Valentine, a Roman priest who, according to legend, defied Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriage for soldiers by performing secret weddings. Over time, the day evolved into a global tradition symbolizing love in various forms—romantic, platonic, and even self-love.


         


Valentine’s Day is celebrated to honor love and connection. It’s a time to appreciate those who hold special places in our lives, whether they are partners, friends, or family members. The holiday is also linked to ancient fertility festivals like Lupercalia, which further embedded the idea of love and affection into this date.

    We express our feelings on Valentine’s Day in many meaningful ways. Some of us choose to give thoughtful gifts like flowers, chocolates, or personalized presents to show our love and appreciation. Others pour their hearts into handwritten letters, heartfelt messages, or even poetry to make their loved ones feel special. Spending quality time together is another beautiful way to celebrate—whether it’s a romantic dinner, a cozy movie night, or a simple walk hand in hand. Acts of kindness also speak volumes, like preparing a favorite meal or planning a thoughtful surprise. In the end, it’s not about grand gestures but the love and sincerity behind them.

QUARTER 2 - REFLECTION

  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...

 "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...
