MotHER’s Day

Image
               Growing up, I looked up to my mother, up to this day. I have always viewed her as a heroine. I am a lucky daughter to have her as my mother because I am certain that it is not the same for everyone. My mother is the reason why I think of every mother as someone who is capable in everything, who has undeniable strength and bravery, who have enough love to empathize. These are the few out of all the million reasons why we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a celebration where we honor our mothers for all of their sacrifices and love that they showered us since the day we were conceived. Filipinos traditionally celebrates Mother’s day by giving their mothers cards, gifts, flowers, or eating   outside. Some even spend Mother’s Day with their   whole family where generations of mothers are present. They more the merrier , as they say. In the Philippines, the mothers are treated extra special on Mother’s day. Their chi...

Change, It Starts With Me

Change is not for everyone. Some wants it, while some don’t. When change comes, adjustment will also follow. Change happens whether we like it or not, because the bad news is things will not be the same forever, the good news is things will not be the same forever! Change happens for a reason, every change is for the betterment. This is just on how we perceive change and so when someone, something, somewhere, sometime will change, let us ask ourselves if do we really want this or it to stay forever? If we want to be better at some aspect, we immediately thought of changing something that is within us. However, we can never achieve this if no accountability is present in us. If we continue to tolerate poor behaviour of us or theirs, then it will continue to stay. This is where change starts. We need to recognize the significance of accountability first, then the thought of change will follow. How does change start? By slowly entering a life that gives you a sense of discomfort. Why dis...

               Before I fully immersed myself on the Community-Based Research, I only knew that it was a kind of research that only concern on a certain community and nothing more. I knew its significance for the community, but I was not entirely aware of its whole intention and scope. When Mrs. Vera Cruz informed us that we will make our own output of the CBR (Community-Based Research), of course my intial thought was it is just only another ordinary research paper and nothing more.                While conducting the CBR with the group I had been assigned to, I enjoyed interviewing other people that speaked with their heart about our community. Being the person who listens to their words that expresses their appreciation and love for their community was truly an unforgettable experience.                 While writing my part for the paper, I felt ...

               The world of software was ever really my forte and did not have any interest in it. I had always found it boring and confusing. This quarter truly challenged and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I never expected that I would enjoy coding HTML files. This quarter have been another rollercoaster ride for me as a student.                 In the first chapter of 3rd quarter, I felt bored and was reallly struggling to grasp on to the topics considering that I have no interest in coding softwares. It was frustrating me that I hated our lessons. Until, we had an activity on setting images and frames. I started to get fascinated with how the software works. To me, it was like a magic that you could use for practicality. From that moment on, I realized that coding is more than just desktops and typing.Instead, it is more on the creativity that it is focused on.       ...

               ”Women have minds and souls as well as hearts, ambition and talent as well as beauty and I'm sick of being told that love is all a woman is fit for.” Over the years, the patriarchy continue to prevail in the society. Women are downgraded, abused, discriminated, and many more violence that they needed to endure, otherwise they will be labeled as “weak”. After all the things that the society made them to do or be, after all the heartache, are women really weak?                 In the movie “Damsel”, the dragon was a villain who’s seeking for revenge after what the human kind did her daughters. A such royal family was desperate to have their own kingdom in which it lead them to kill the dragon’s daughter, then a deal between two parties had been made.In return, the royals have to sacrifice three princesses to the dragon in order for the royal to pay what they did. The royals sought...

 The preparation for the 122nd High School day was a struggle, for both teachers and students. There were practice sessions for the field demonstration that required students to participate, props that are needed to be made, and class hours that were compressed in order to have enough time to practice. Although, it was all worth it when I saw that each one of us were smiling throughout the day. The Field demonstration involved the every students to perform, from grade 7 to 10. Each grade level has their own festival to perform.  In Grade 10, we performed Sinulog Festival. The boys garnered the title “CHAMPION, while the girls got 3rd Place in the field demo competition.  After the field demonstration, the school hosted a concert for a cause in which it involve the bands from the grade 10 special science class, the bands from the senior high school, and teachers. In the concert, songs by ben&ben, this band, taylor swift, callaliy, eraserheards, air supply, and many mor...
