Offering a million thanks to the teachers who gave us a million lessons

        This School Year is almost 75% complete, and the thorn by my side strikes again. The bottomless heart of a sloth, which had me on its tight relentless grip. I am still unable to escape the escapades of its nature. However, I have no one to blame but myself, the consequences of my lazy attitude is only indebted towards me. However in this 3rd Quarter of computerized activities, I have learnt topics across different learning areas, including stuff like coding while dealing web page designing, along the lines of Cascading Style Sheet or better known as CSS . Which has deeply helped me through structured discipline, and developing myself, by integrating a rigorous activity like coding.             I also learnt various lessons such as the significance of proper collaboration and teamwork. Retaining values with my Community Based Research(CBR) teammates, Kathleen, Avril and Gerchelle. Our journey in this quarter started out with Ma'am...

     " Clack, clack, clack," as I hear the the boney hooves tapping on the rock-strewn pavement. The horses neigh reverberate along the avenues as they pull in the  Calesas . The lively murmurs of crowds, chatting to decide their destination. If you'd ask me where I stood, I'd say this is just another day parading through the timeless streets of Vigan City.       A treasured city tucked away in the heart of the Northern Philippines, renowned for its spanish-colonial times architecture dashed with a handful of Chinese-style construction. As the modern era continues to take over, the unforgettable heritage and culture of colonial times still runs through its trenched canal veins.              In its time of birth, initially founded by Juan de Salcedo , a spanish conquistador during 1572. He named the land, Ciudad Fernandina, a way of honoring a spanish king, King Ferdinand II Of Aragon. The stage was set, the ...

      Metamorphosis, a transition in habits and physical form of an animal after going through a phase of development and rebirth. The most well known example of this are caterpillars conversion to butterflies, marking change towards beauty and elegance. It's as if the animal has completely changed from one creature to another. Similarly, us humans, once we have reflected on our past and wanting to go through a process of tranformation. It is less of a biological but rather a psychological change to us people in which we attempt to correct and rectify our actions and habits over the years.Where we humans personally mature and develop. Yet our change from one form to another may not invoke gracefulness as compared to those of butterflies, where our effort to transform may not be so successful. However, I'd argue the beauty behind us humans own form of metamorphosis is the endeavour we take for it, while we may even fail in the process. Where the path to our personal victor...

  Christmas, Christmas is a time for cheer. But it's also a time for nostalgia to run our moods, where the memories of our once joyous and child-self start to overcome emotions. The repetitive years of a 2 week vacation has now began to distort my view on the holidays. During 3rd grade, I'd be immediately enthusiastic from just participating in our classroom Christmas Party. Moreover, when I was in elementary, I enjoyed watching cable TV, especially cartoons. And when December comes, there would be a broader amount of channels to choose from, I'd be even overjoyed from the thought of this. As I continue to age, the magic I once felt from previous decembers became more dull. Feelings of delight being able to celebrate the holidays with my family. Contrarily the grey and saddening atmosphere clings to me like vines, strangling me till I'm out of breath. It's like oil and water whirling round my brain, feelings converging, yet unable to co-exist. A paradox if you will....

    As we end off my 2nd quarter journey ICT, I had a lot of things to learn, and predominantly, this was the basic unit of websites being HTML tags. Me and my classmates learned the basics of utilizing HTML tags. Creating simple arrticles, manipulating character attributes, font size, tables, frames and so much more. Getting more and more used to dealing with HTML coding and how it works. Uasge of HTML tags that we will carry on in our minds as we go on with our lives.    The first thing we learned about is container tags and stand alone tags. With container tags needing two other kinds of tags, being the start tag and end tag; the start tag indicates where the effect will start and the end tag will indicate where the effect of the tag will end, normally indicated by a slash( / ). To indicate there is the presence of an HTML tag, one will use the angle brackets(>,<), so examples of container tags is <i>, </i>, <u>,</u>, <b>,</b...

 Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) encompasses various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual and psychological that affect women and children. This issue reflects deeply towards undermining victims' rights and overall well-being. To combat VAWC, laws and efforts are needed, emphasizing the importance of legal safeguards, public awareness, and support systems for survivors. In that way, creating a space for women and children where security is guaranteed is a must.  One of the laws that protects women and children alike in the Philippines is Republic Act (RA) No. 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, stands as a pillar to protect women and children from abuse. Complementing this, RA 10364, or the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2013, strengthens measures against human trafficking, particularly targeting the exploitation of women and children. This law enhances penalties for offenders, expands the scope of protection, ...
