Quarterly Reflection

Image
                         The second quarter is coming to an end once more. This quarter has been a roller coaster ride for me. As of now, I've acquired a wealth of skills and knowledge that I will use throughout this grading period. I had a great time learning our ICT topics. The topic for this quarter was new to me at first. Luckily, I was able to comprehend the lesson and became acquainted with the tags and elements used in creating HTML files. And, to be frank, creating web pages with HTML tags and coding was a lot of fun. I must admit, I'm still dealing with the issues I had during the previous grading period. I'm also having difficulty following some lessons in some subjects, which makes completing tasks on-time more challenging. I still make sure that I follow my schedule properly and I try my best not to procrastinate. Moving on, I'm hoping that during the upcoming third grading period, I'll be more responsible and ...

           Valentine's day is mostly considered an international festival celebrating the feeling of love. The day has greater significance than just being a day for lovers. It is a day to show and express our love to anyone. When we love our parents, we fail to express it sometimes. As a result, the day is an opportunity to share our love for our parents, family members, and close friends.    Valentine's day honors human connection and friendship. It's a day that shows us how to show our love, care, and reverence for those that matter in our lives. It makes us smile when we think about our loved ones.

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival: Pride of the Ilocano Culture

Image
          Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that is to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generations already. Children of today are paying more attention to the modern and novelty dances they have seen on the television than the traditional ones. As a result, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur has created a festival to highlight these issues. These cultural traditions are presented at the Kannawidan Festival.       The Kannawidan Festival takes place between the last week of January and the first week of February. Included in the course of events is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province. A lot of people look forward to this festival because of the thrilling competitions and fun concerts with some of the countries amazing bands and artists, as well as the opportunity to visit f...

A festival to remember

Image
        Festivals are an integral part of Filipino culture, and they are held in every city. In honor of St. Paul the apostle, every year on January 25th, the Vigan Longganisa Festival takes place. Vigan residents hold a number of festivals during the year to commemorate their rich heritage. The festival attracts a large number of visitors who come to see the show's presentations. Vigan Town Fiesta features arts and crafts exhibits, carnivals, street dance events, and other fun performances that honor Vigan's cityhood spirit.        After a virus swept the globe, we now have to deal with this new normal and that includes having to follow the strict health protocols while celebrating the festival. Face masks and shields should be worn at all times. Physical distancing is also required, and anyone under the age of 15 and senior citizens are not permitted to attend the trade fair. Saniata ti Ilocos Sur, for example, was kept as a lockdown competition...

Out with the old, in with the new

           If years were people, 2020 would be the most disliked person in the world. 2020 would be the type to make little kids purposefully cry, or run over an animal with no remorse. Last year was a tough one for all of us. I remember myself having a mental breakdown during my birthday. ECQ was implemented during that time. Trust me, the last thing you wanna feel is to cry on your birthday. Last year, I was at the lowest point of my life. There were many times where I cried myself to sleep. There were things that surprised me and broke my heart. It messed up my mental health big time. I can also say that I was unproductive. I didn't manage my time well.             I am going to try to be efficient beginning this year. I'm gonna be more productive by following my schedule strictly. This year, I'm going to try my best to start working out. I just wanna say that it's okay to be unproductive (and just be human). In life, ...

        In order to minimize the spread of Covid-19, several countries around the world have agreed to temporarily close down establishments. Various aspects of everyday life, including going to the workplace and education, have been profoundly impacted by this pandemic. As a result, schools have been forced to renounce conventional classes and instead switch to online classes. Currently, conducting modular learning is the only way out, to keep imparting knowledge.          I can tell that this quarter, I learned a lot of information. I didn't intend to grow any blogs, but ICT opened up a chance for me. In a certain part of my life, I've also learned a lot about the internet, which could help me. I have learned how to strictly follow my schedule in this type of learning.         I think it will help me cope with these difficulties by relaxing myself and preparing my strategy on how to handle my studies. Moving on, I know ...

Global warming is the extremely rapid rise in the average surface temperature of the planet over the past century, largely due to the greenhouse gases emitted by people who burn fossil fuels. How serious is global warming? What can we do to help spread awareness of global warming and climate change?         Global warming refers to Climate change that causes the earth's surface temperature to rise. Natural events and human influences are believed to be top contributions towards the increase in average temperatures. Global warming is a rise in the surface and atmospheric temperature of the earth that has changed various life forms on the earth. Greenhouse gases are only one natural cause of global warming.
