        "Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change and keep going or choose to give up in the face of adversity, so we engage stronger, wiser and more able." from The Oasis School of Human Relations. The word resilience comes from the Latin word 'resalire' which means "springing back". When the problems and adversities take your life, you instantly cope up and rise again.      We Filipinos are resilient "hindi tayo natitinag". Instances like when we are hit by a typhoon, we easily recover from it, we build raft if the water is too high, or we stock up foods to eat in the middle of the storm.

The things that caught my attention are: when the term internet is born it was in 1973 and the fathers of the internet and they were Vinton Cerf and Bob Khan. And I have also learned the Architects of the internet, the Philippine pioneers and the software pioneers. And I also learned all about blogs; the type of blogs, the advantages of it, different blog search engines, and also the metrics of it.             I also experienced challenges and the one that I encountered is the making of articles. For me, I am not good in making Essays and it is hard for me.
