  This quarter, my studies focused on HTML ordered, unordered lists and nested list, learning how to create and effectively use them in web design, and Community-Based Research (CBR).     CBR introduced me to research methodologies, ethical considerations, data collection techniques, and the importance of community engagement and collaboration in research projects. I have encountered a lot of challenges this grading like struggling on how to make my html exercise perfect and we had a lot of problems that have encounter while doing our CBR, such as having a limited source about the informations we need to put in our research. We also encountered having difficulties in making our web design.  However, I was able to overcome these challenges. My classmates helped me in accomplishing my html exercises, they patiently taught me how to do it correctly. In our CBR, we are able to scope with the problem by interviewing people and searching for details about our topic. In out...

A Shared Celebration: Chinese New Year in the Philippines

Filipinos widely celebrate Chinese New Year due to the significant Chinese population and centuries of cultural exchange.  Many families have mixed heritage, making the Lunar New Year a cherished family tradition passed down through generations.  The festive atmosphere, delicious food, and the symbolic ang pao (red envelopes) are appealing aspects that transcend ancestry.

Vigan's Journey: Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future

Image
  Vigan's transformation from municipality to city represents a compelling narrative of growth and development.     As a municipality, Vigan possessed a unique charm rooted in its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture and a slower pace of life.     Its economy primarily relied on agriculture and local trade, with limited infrastructure and resources hindering significant expansion. Governance focused on local issues, constrained by a smaller administrative structure and budget.     While its historical significance was recognized, its potential remained largely untapped. The elevation to cityhood marked a pivotal moment.    Increased funding and expanded administrative capabilities facilitated significant infrastructure improvements in transportation, sanitation, and healthcare.    This attracted greater investment, boosting tourism and local businesses.    The shift in governance emphasized strategic planning and l...

Cultivating Balance: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Image
  This year, my "New Year, New Me" resolution isn't about a complete personality rebuild, but a focused journey of self-improvement.     I'm prioritizing three things:     enhanced time management, travel more, and focus in self-care.     These aren't separate goals but interconnected aspects of a more balanced and fulfilling life. Improved time management is crucial.    Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I'll use organizational things and techniques to prioritize tasks and prevent burnout.    This increased efficiency will free up time for enriching experiences, both through travel and self-care.    Travel, for me, is a incitement for personal growth—exploring new places and cultures broadens my perspective and challenges my assumptions.    Even small adventures offer invaluable learning opportunities. Finally, and most importantly, I'm prioritizing self-care—physical, mental, and emotional well-being.   ...

A Christmas Break Filled with Joy and Camaraderie

Image
Christmas break is always a special time of year, a period of rest and reflection, but this year held a unique significance.    It wasn't just the twinkling lights and festive decorations, but the shared experiences and bonds forged that made this Christmas break truly unforgettable.    The joy was amplified tenfold by the opportunity to celebrate with not only my family but also the children of our barangay.  Our annual Christmas party was the highlight of the break.     We decorated our front yard and   put all the gifts there. The children, their eyes wide with excitement.     We had organized an array of activities: games , and of course, the much-anticipated gift-giving.     Seeing their faces light up as they received their presents, their pure joy infectious, was a truly heartwarming experience.     It was a reminder of the simple pleasures in life and the power of community spirit.     We shared stor...

  My initial foray into HTML was met with considerable frustration. The unfamiliar syntax, a seemingly endless string of angle brackets and cryptic abbreviations, felt overwhelming.    The sheer volume of tags, each with its own specific function, created a steep learning curve.    Even constructing a simple webpage, a single paragraph within <p> tags, felt like a monumental achievement, highlighting the painstaking process of mastering nested tags, attributes, and the crucial importance of correctly closing each tag.    Early errors, often stemming from missing closing tags, led to countless hours of debugging, a necessary but tedious part of the learning process. The most significant challenge arose from differentiating between presentational and semantic HTML.    Presentational HTML, while visually intuitive, lacks the structural integrity and accessibility of semantic HTML.    Semantic HTML prioritizes the meaning and cont...
