 Blog #2 The new year has come, and I am determined to change myself. First of all, I will be better at handling money. Before, I used to buy things just because they looked good or were on sale. Now, I will only spend on useful or really loved items. This way, I can save money and be happy with what I have. I want to always do the right thing. I should be honest with friends, family, and people that I work with, not to do anything that will hurt them or go against any rules. Being good will help make the world around me better and make me proud of myself. Secondly, I will be interested in sports, but I used to be lazy and never care about any physical exercises. But this year, I will do it. First, I will jog in the park every morning. It is a good way for my heart, and it makes me energetic and happy. Perhaps I can also join some sports club at home, badminton or tennis, and make some new techniques there, and learn from them. Sports will keep me fit as well as teach me teamwork, ...

How I Spent my Christmas vacation

Image
blog #1 Christmas is supposed to be a wonderful time full of love and family, but for me it's just full of sadness. My parents are no longer here, and it makes the holidays feel empty. My siblings are busy with their own families, making new memories, and I understand that, yet it still hurts to be left out. The memories of past Christmases when we were all together, waking up early for presents and having a big meal, now just make me feel the loss more. Sitting alone in this quiet house, the loneliness is almost too much to bear. I try to seem okay on the outside, but inside my heart is broken. I know that Christmas will never be the same without my parents, and I have to live with that every year. This Christmas, I wanted to do something different. So I called my friends and we spent the day doing fireworks and going out. The fireworks were amazing, lighting up the sky in different colors. It was a moment of pure joy and it lifted up my spirits. We walked around town looking at t...

Thematic Q2

Image
This quarter taught me much about handling pressure, whether in school or sports. I learned that planning my time really helps me balance everything. It also showed me how important it is to stay positive and focused, even when things are tough. That's helped me feel more confident, whether I'm studying or playing. The biggest problem was the pressure from both school and sports. It seemed like a lot to handle sometimes lots of homework and tough practices. I sometimes doubted myself, especially before big tests or games. All that pressure made it hard to do my best in both areas.  To cope with this, I started using a planner for everything. This ensured that I had enough time for both study and practice. I learned to breathe deep and think of success while in tests and games as ways to keep my nerves calm. Talking to my friends and coaches really helped when I was feeling stressful, as they gave me support and advice. I will continue improving my time management skills. ...

A President Forged in War, Shaped by Reconstruction

Image
 Draft blog #4    Elpidio Quirino's life is intricately woven with the tumultuous history of the Philippines. Born in 1890, his early years were filled with academic excellence as he graduated with a law degree from the University of the Philippines. This excellent educational background was a springboard to his political career, which started when he was elected to the House of Representatives and later to the Senate. He gradually rose to prominence, demonstrating his political sagacity and his commitment to the service of the Filipino people. However, the idealistic course of his early career was soon disrupted by the brutal realities of World War II.   The war years changed Quirino's life forever. His unrelenting resistance against the Japanese occupation showed his patriotism and his bravery. The personal tragedy he experienced—the death of his wife and three children during the Battle of Manila—would leave an indelible mark on his character and the way he led. H...

Indigenous People Month

Image
 Draft blog #3 October is Indigenous Peoples Month in the Philippines, a time to celebrate the rich diversity of Indigenous cultures and to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain in protecting their rights. This year marks the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), a landmark law designed to safeguard their ancestral lands, cultural practices, and self-determination. The theme "Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge" calls for the appreciation and regard for their unique contribution to the Filipino society. It is also a month of learning and celebration of the rich indigenous traditions and wisdom. The IPRA itself is the central theme of the month's commemorations. It is more than just a memory of how the law was passed; it is an assessment of how effective the law is and where its improvement is necessary. In this time, the government, along with the Indigenous people and other stakeholder...

Protection Violence About Children

Image
  Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines"-surely proves to be a call to action, a power that stands to awaken the Filipino people to the reality of protecting our children and creating a safe environment where they would grow and thrive. This is a serious problem we need to acknowledge in the Philippines-violence against children-is not alright and needs to be stopped by all means. We ought to show information on various forms of violence: from corporal, overt abuse to neglect and exploitation. We have to promote positive parenting and support families in need. We can only speak so much, but we have to act. That means strengthening child protection systems, providing support services for children who were hurt, and making sure perpetrators are held accountable. Together, we can break the cycle of violence and create a Philippines where every child is safe and can really reach his or her full potential.
