In this photo blog, I document my experiences in conducting a Community-Based Research (CBR) project and the process of making a web design for it. Me and my group mates, making our letter and questionnaires to be given to Barangay VIII. Our Letter and  Questionnaire to be answered, these 5 questions are mostly related to mitigating pollution (both English and Tagalog were provided for the questions). Brgy.

Final look of our Homepage, used only HTML and CSS for the structure and styles.

Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year to honor the deep-rooted cultural and economic connections between the Philippines and China. Historically, the Chinese community have significantly influenced Filipino culture, contributing to various traditions and practices (Wickberg, 2000). In 2012, the Philippine government has recognized this by declaring Chinese New Year a special non-working holiday, allowing both Filipinos and Filipino-Chinese to partake in the festivities (Tan, 2011). This move underscored the nation's acknowledgment of the Chinese community's integral role in a Philippine society. This is shows how much Chinese traditions have shaped Filipino customs over time (Ang See, 1997). The celebration is marked by various custom and tradition that symbolize good fortune and prosperity. Families prepare special dishes like a tikoy , which are believed to bring unity and harmony among friends and family members (Chu, 2010). Lion and dragon dance was performed in streets and ...

The City of Vigan, situated in Ilocos Sur, has undergone a remarkable transformation from a small town into a vibrant city, maintaining its rich cultural heritage. In the time of Spanish colonization, Vigan was a lively trading hub, visited by merchants from China and Spanish settlers. Its advantageous position close to the Abra River established it as a center for trade, where items like gold, tobacco, and textiles were exchanged. The town was defined by its cobblestone pathways, historic buildings, and the blend of Asian and European styles in its architecture. Although Vigan is relatively small, it significantly influenced the region's economy and cultural identity. Currently, Vigan has developed into a lively city renowned for its preserved Spanish colonial beauty. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, the city's most famous feature is Calle Crisologo, where historic ancestral homes border cobbled streets. Contemporary buildings have integrated flawlessly with th...

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. I also want to step out of my comfort zone by learning new skills or meeting people with different experiences. These small but meaningful steps can make the year feel productive and fulfilling. Lastly, I aim to maintain a positive attitude and strengthen my connections with those...

As we all know, Christmas Break is the most awaited holiday for us students because it provides a chance to take a break from assignments, requirements etc. In this blog post, I will talk about how I spent my Christmas break. To be honest, nothing much happened during the break, as I couldnt travel due to personal reasons. However, we did enjoy a wonderful Noche Buena with the whole family. I also had the opportunity to enjoy my favorite hobbies. I spent my afternoons speed-solving the Rubik's Cube, striving to improve my times, and also engaging in programming/coding, learning new things and tips and tricks about web development. To sum it up, this year's Christmas break was a good one. I had the chance to relax and de-stress from school by spending time with my family, enjoying delicious food, and enjoying in my favorite hobbies. I especially enjoyed speed-solving the Rubik's Cube. I hope Christmas break will be even better next year, with a longer break and more opportun...

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...
