Let's Work Together for Equality

Image
March is Women's Month, and this year's theme ' WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society means we all need to work together to make things fair for everyone, no matter their gender. It's not just about women; it's about all of us. When everyone has the same chances, we all benefit. A society where everyone feels included is a stronger and better society. It means women have the same opportunities as men in school, at work, and in leadership roles. This means thinking about whether women are treated fairly and have the same chances as men. Are there things we need to change? Making things equal takes time and effort. We need to keep talking about it, challenge unfair ideas, and support women. This Women's Month, let's all promise to do our part to create a better and fairer world for everyone. https://www.voicesofyouth.org/sites/voy/files/images/2022-03/images_2.jpeg https://i0.wp.com/epthinktank.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/AdobeStock_456...

Diving Deep Into HTML

This quarter, I learned a lot about HTML, especially lists and frames.    It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it!. My understanding of HTML lists has significantly improved. I've mastered creating both ordered and unordered lists, and I'm now comfortable working with nested lists to create complex.    This has widen my ability to organize and present information effectively on a webpage.    Beyond lists, I've also learned about HTML frames,I learned how to divide a webpage into distinct sections for improved layout and navigation.    Finally, the CBR project (which involved creating a title/subtitle, community profile, and brief research description etc.) provided invaluable hands-on experience in applying my HTML knowledge to a real-world scenario.    This project solidified my understanding of how to structure and present information clearly and concisely using HTML. One of the biggest challenges I faced was understanding the neste...

Chinese New Year- A Filipino Celebration

  Many Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year, even if they are not of Chinese descent.     This is because of a long history of Chinese people living in the Philippines and sharing their culture.     Chinese traders and immigrants came to the Philippines long ago, marrying Filipinos and becoming part of the community.     Over time, Chinese New Year traditions became part of Filipino culture, especially in places like Binondo in Manila, the oldest Chinatown in the world. Filipinos love celebrating Chinese New Year because it's all about good luck, wealth, and family.    The bright colors, delicious food (like tikoy and hopia), fun dances, and the feeling of new beginnings are very appealing.    Giving ampao (lucky money) adds to the excitement and happiness. Celebrating Chinese New Year also brings Filipinos together, regardless of their background.    It's a time for everyone to share traditions and build stronger relation...

New year, New beginning

Image
Every year, many people make New Year's resolutions, promises to improve themselves.    While the idea is great, most resolutions fail. We make resolutions because a new year feels like a fresh start.    It's a chance to change, and that feeling is motivating.    But our brains are not naturally good at changing habits.    Habits are like well-worn paths in our brains, it takes effort to create new ones.    Plus, we often set goals that are too big, making it hard to stay motivated.    If we slip up, we might give up completely. I will make my goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.    Instead of "eat healthier," i’ll "eat one more serving of vegetables each day."Big goals are overwhelming.    I will divide them into smaller, easier steps. Setbacks happen. I will tell friends or family about my goals. Having others to help you stay on track makes a big difference.  Making resol...

Bring back the old Christmas

During the holidays, I cherish spending time with my family. We attend Simbang Gabi together, share in household chores, and I love playing with my niece.    We also make time to go out with friends and strengthen our bonds. Last Christmas was unlike the Christmas  before. Our family wasn't complete anymore, and things had changed a lot.    Our Noche Buena was quiet; there was no feast, no noise, and we all just went to sleep. No one even woke up.    It was a sad experience, but in the midst of it, I learned the importance of accepting change and finding peace in the face of sorrow.
