New Year, New Chapter

Image Source A new year always seems to bring that feeling of rejuvenation and gives us a new chance to make new goals for ourselves. We get to sit back and decide what we really want to change in our lives. For me, this is the year to improve myself, to grow into a better me. I look forward to this year by having healthier habits mentally and physically. The new year is not only a reset but also a reminder that every day offers a chance to start fresh. This year, I plan to prioritize my goals and be consistent. For me, the biggest aspiration is to be more organized and manage my time better. This includes dedicating more hours to studying and setting aside moments for myself, knowing that consistency is key.

Q2 Reflection

Image Source Basic knowledge of HTML has always been an enlightening moment as it provided a simple basis of how websites work and are created. As far as I know, I learned that HTML means HyperText Markup Language or is the backbone of every page. It defines its contents and layout. I have learned how important syntax and structure are in coding by using tags and elements like <html> ,  <head> , <body> , and <p> . Through hands-on practice, I was able to create simple web pages with text, images, and links, showing how each line of code contributed to the final visual output. This understanding of HTML has given me the confidence to explore web development further. I also realized the usage of attributes in personalizing an element and, therefore improving its functionality. Attributes, such as src , href , and alt , opened my eyes to how HTML combines the simple with versatility to generate an interactive, user-friendly web page. It was surprising how form...

Its implementation in the campaign shows that the government is interested in creating a safer and more equal society. R.A. 9262 strengthens the fight against gender-based violence by bridging the gap between awareness and enforcement, encouraging greater societal change. Below are 2 laws related to R.A. 9262: 1.

Draft 2/Blog Post No. 2: Climate Change and Filipino Resilience

Climate change has severely changed the lives of many Filipinos in sudden disasters and gradual changes in the environment. Being one of the world's most vulnerable countries to climate change, it frequently undergoes extreme weather events like typhoons, floods, and droughts. Calamities displace families, destroy livelihoods, and disrupt access to basic needs, which calls for urgent action on the root causes of climate change. Some of the causes of environmental degradation in this country include the destruction of forests, pollution, and unsustainable agricultural practices. Shrinkage of forests and rise in the sea level only make coastal and mountainous communities suffer from the changes. And however grueling the situation is, the resilience of Filipinos proves itself as the nation strives to go on. They continuously adapt to new realities-from developing early warning systems to implementing sustainable practices. Communities are finding ways to mitigate the impacts of clima...
