 New year, new me!  It is not something that just happens overnight, but takes moving in a better direction a step at a time. And let’s not even talk about resolutions that are laughably unrealistic, all of which lose their sense and sensibility by the end of January. So, let’s celebrate the last changes, and pat ourselves on back for all small victories that we can achieve. Before making more goals, let’s check in first. There are some aspects of our lives that we can try to do better. Use Specificity Instead of generalities Never, I mean NEVER use generalities Instead of “get healthier,” let’s focus on actions “work out for 30 minutes three times a week” Lets break down big goals to small, achievable goals around the target. I will keep in mind that failure is part of the process. Accept the challenge, mess it up, change, grow again. I am meant to be in this position, the wind upon my back, Nimbus clouds following behind me, surround myself with I CAN DO IT people not LET'S ...

  The second quarter of Ict is a very fun journey and a very fun exploration into the world of HTML. At first I thought html tags are very hard to understand, but as we did more activities I became familiarized by them, I began to understand the importance of html tags.We learned how to structure web pages, create headings, paragraphs, frames, tables and even images.   Looking back, we can see how far we’ve come. From being “what is that code I don’t know what that is” to “making basic webpages are so easy”. This journey has ignited a passion for web development. And were eager to learned more or explore more advanced HTML features and learn other web technologies like CSS.   The lesson that we learned about HTML will be with us as we continue to explore web development. We have gained a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of web design, a newfound confidence in our abilities, and a desire to create engaging and interactive web experiences.  #...

  The observance of National Indigenous Peoples Month, especially this year's 27th anniversary of the commemoration of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), is a critical step towards promoting and protecting the rights and culture of Indigenous Peoples. The theme "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana" (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge) emphasizes the need to recognize and respect the unique knowledge systems, traditions, and cultural practices of Indigenous communities.

 He is the Elpidio Quirino, the sixth president of the Philippines, and still is being felt to date, a figure in Philippine history books. Born to poor parents in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, he never knew the comfort that is termed life. On top of everything, he remained in excellent academic performance until graduation when he was valedictorian of Vigan High School, further receiving his law degree, first-class honours at the University of the Philippines. His legal career runs with public service as his occupation in being a municipal judge, provincial fiscal, and assemblyman in the Philippine Assembly.  His hard work and commitment to justice, however, earned him significant respect and admiration, winning his election to the Senate in 1935. At the outbreak of World War II, Quirino had joined the wartime Cabinet without hesitating.  After World War II, he became Vice President under Manuel Roxas. When Roxas died in 1948, Quirino took over as president, with the onerous task of...
