Happy Valentines Day!

Valentine's Day is a day of love and affection, commonly linked to romantic relationships but also to friendships and family ties. It is said to have been derived from St. Valentine, a person known for his acts of love and compassion. It has, over the years, become a day when individuals show appreciation to their loved ones through gestures such as presenting them with gifts, writing them letters, or spending time with them. We observe Valentine's Day to remind us of the significance of love in our lives. It is a day to appreciate, establish relationships, and be kind. Either through grand acts or small acts of kindness, it's a day that reminds us of love in any form or shape. 

Reflection (Quarter 3)

During the third quarter in ICT 10, I learned about HTML, CSS, and basic web development, which helped me understand how to create and design websites. However, I faced challenges like debugging errors and understanding how different elements interact, making some tasks frustrating. To overcome these difficulties, I practiced more, reviewed lessons, and sought help from my teacher and classmates. Moving forward, I will continue improving my coding skills, exploring new techniques, and applying what I have learned to create better and more functional web pages.

The country observes Chinese New Year because the Chinese-Filipino community greatly influences the nation. Over the years, traditions such as feng shui, zodiac beliefs, and lucky customs from China have mixed with Filipino culture. Many think that the event brings good luck, prosperity, and success in business. It is also celebrated through festive activities, dragon dances, and family gatherings. Such was the strong historical and economic linkage between the Filipino and Chinese communities that such observance had come to assume important cultural and ritualistic traditions among Filipinos  

New Year, New Me

The start of a new year feels like a fresh chapter, a chance to hit reset and focus on becoming the best version of myself. For me, New year isn’t just a catchy phrase it’s a mindset that inspires change, growth, and renewal. This year, I’m setting meaningful goals to improve my life, whether it’s by prioritizing my physical and mental health, developing new skills, or stepping out of my comfort zone to try new experiences. I want to leave behind old habits and mindsets that have held me back and embrace the challenges that come with change. It’s not about aiming for perfection but striving for progress, even if it’s slow and steady. I also want to focus on being more present in the moment, appreciating the small joys of life, and nurturing my relationships with family and friends. This year is an opportunity to grow, to learn from my mistakes, and to take the steps needed to become a stronger, happier, and more confident version of myself. I know the journey won’t always be easy, but ...

This Christmas Vacation

This Christmas vacation was truly memorable and filled with joy from start to finish. The preparations began early, as my family and I came together to decorate the house with care and excitement. Twinkling lights framed the windows, while a beautifully adorned Christmas tree stood as the centerpiece of our living room, glowing with ornaments collected over the years. Holiday music played softly in the background as we laughed, reminisced, and created new memories while decorating. The house felt warm and inviting, setting the perfect mood for the festivities to come.   On Christmas Day, the magic truly unfolded. My family and I gathered around a table filled with delicious food, including traditional dishes that made the day even more special. Exchanging thoughtful gifts brought so much joy, not because of the items themselves, but because of the love and effort that went into choosing them. The room was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and a sense of togetherness th...

Reflection(Quarter 2)

  This quarter in ICT 10, I have been working on HTML tags and websites designing. It was interesting to see how different tags like  <h1>  for headers,  <p>  for paragraphs, and  <img>  for pictures are used for the layout of the web page. Creating web pages also helped me appreciate how information has to be arranged and syntax used. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of tags and their attributes that were required to be learned, but with time and practice, I was able to improve. This particular experience has provided me with an amazing experience in web development and made me excited towards building more complex and attractive pages in the future.
