Reflection (3rd Quarter)

          Third quarter is about to end and one more quarter to go before I say goodbye to my junior year. I had so much fun this third quarter because it's the holiday season and we had a long Christmas vacation. And I spent my whole vacation by spending time with my family and my relatives.

             Before Christmas vacation, our English teacher told us about the thematic project that we will do as a whole class and it is speech choir. Our teacher told us that we to create our own composition and it is all about gender equality. At first it was hard to start but after all the brainstorming, we decided to make each one of us in the class a one stanza poem relating to the theme, and collect all the poems that they have made and select good ones to be compiled. All poems that have been submitted were all good but not all them are in the piece that we made because some of them have the same sense and thought. 

          Who's not excited when the holiday season is coming? Not for me and I think we Filipinos have this same feeling that when ber-months have already started we are so excited for Christmas. and for us students, we are all excited for the Christmas vacation. After president Duterte announced that the Christmas vacation, all of us became very excited.

          We didn't had much time to practice for the speech choir at that time so we decided to finish all of the things that we have to do for the speech choir and thank God we have finished on how we are going to perform it but we didn't had enough time to make our props and backdrops.

          For me, the real holiday season starts when you are just relaxing and doing household chores everyday. But there are still school works to do before I really get into that holiday season feeling. There are still assignments and a lot of blogs to do before I can really enjoy my vacation so what I did is to do it all. And after that, all I did is sleep and and sleep again and eat again. We also went to my relatives in Ilocos Norte and spent my time with them.

          After all the joyful celebrations, it's time again to face the reality and it's to go back to school. I was lazy to go back then but I remembered that the 2nd week of January is going to be our 3rd periodical exams and our teachers are going to cram their lessons and it's not easy to cope up with the lessons because there are only few days left before our test and so I decided to go.

         So the lesson that I have thought about all what happened this third quarter is that it's not always merry making, not all the time is for relaxing, we should also set a time for our studies. We should enjoy because it's holiday but at the same time we should also set time for our studies.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

    Another quarter has passed, and another new knowledge that have been gained. This second quarter, students are ready and hoping that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and exciting activities that they will do again. And I was not disappointed because this second quarter I have learned all about internet access and the HTML.            The lessons of this quarter is easy for me to understand because I was super interested in it. I may have encountered probems but I easily coped up with it and went on. At the first lesson I did not understand it at first but I thrived to learn and I asked my classmates what's all about the lesson and I understood it easily. And for the basic HTML it was easy for me and I love coding. It easily registered in my mind and didn't even have to memorize or review it because there's a trick about it.             Moving on, I will keep what I am doing because it's a good...

Philippines: A Strong Nation

        "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. When our houses are destroyed, we immediately clean the debris, we collect scraps that can help fix our houses, and start again. We always stay positive and Fel Cadiz, a Rare program manager in the Philippines, "The Filipino spirit is resilient and remains strong. As they say, the sun shines bright after the storm p...
