Christmas Blues

 Christmas is the most awaited season of everyone. We are all excited to celebrate gift giving with our family and friends. But I think, not everyone is not happy with with their Christmas. This includes me. My Christmas was a mixture of joy and a bit of sadness.


Before the holidays, we celebrated Christmas at school. I only wanted to get my gift because I was having Christmas blues. I had the gift I wanted and of course I am so grateful for it. Even if I would get something I never asked for, I would still be grateful for it. I also tried joining to the games hey have prepared so I wouldn't be called "kj" (kill joy) just because I really am. It was fun but also tiring. We soon cleaned the mess we made before leaving.

During the holidays, we had a Christmas Party as a clan. Me and my cousins were forced to dance to which dance we have used to. It is because they missed us to dance like we used to as a kid. They have missed our performances as kids because it made the celebration more fun and longer. At the end of our performance, they gave us our Aguinaldos. We were so happy because is was greater than we have expected.

 However, my happiness turned into sadness. The day before the noche buena, my youngest sister had a severe stomach ache. my parents immediately rushed her to the hospital. It was already dark but they were not yet home. I still thought that they are already heading home or maybe stopped by to buy something. Meanwhile, I was invited by my two cousins to go to the church and I agreed to pray for my sister. Fast forward, we already arrived at the church, the mass haven't started yet, I saw a photo of my sister at the hospital. It made me worry more about my sister. I have prayed for her and asked to my mother if my sister was confined just to make sure. She said that they are running some tests and they are just waiting for the results. After the mass, we returned home, I saw my family was already sleeping. I knew that they are already tired that is why I didn't disturbed them and just celebrated Christmas with our relatives. I thanked God because my family got home safely. Even if it hurts celebrating Christmas without them. After the celebration, I cried my eyes out because I never get to celebrate Christmas with my family.

The next day, my sadness faded by happiness when I saw my sister happily playing. I Thank God again for that day. To make my sister happy, we went on a trip to the Christmas Onederland.

My Christmas is full of happiness and a bit of sadness. I have learned many things in life this Christmas. Christmas should always be thanksgiving and also gift giving. Simple gifts, seen or not, everyone must appreciate. Its the thought that counts. We should also be thanking everyone and give them the love they deserve, not only during Christmas, but everyday. Chose to give than to receive.

  The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262) is an instrument to fight against VAW in our country. However, other laws has also a significant role in addressing different problems of this difficult issue.  The RA 7877: The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995. This law tells a specific form of VAW that often goes unreported and unaddressed: sexual harassment.  RA 7877 defines sexual harassment as "any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature" that creates a hostile or offensive environment. RA 7877 recognizes that sexual harassment can occur in various places, including the workplace, educational institutions, and public spaces. It goes beyond physical assault and acknowledges the psychological and emotional damage caused by unwanted sexual attention. The law has helped raise awareness about sexual harassment and empowered victims to find justice. It provides legal power for vict...

Reflection on Second Quarter: Mastering HTML Tags

Image
  The second quarter introduced me in the world of HTML tags, transforming my initial understanding into a confident understanding of web page structure.  I progressed from simply recognizing tags to understand their  relationships and the importance of attribute usage.  The practical application of these tags strengthen my understanding, allowing me to build functional web pages.  I have learned how to use tags and when to use them.    While the learning , my biggest challenge were my tags are accurate and correct but whenever I open them to a web browser, there would be something wrong with it.  Identifying the source of errors within intricate HTML code proved frustrating at times, especially when dealing with difficult and many codes. Not knowing where the problem in your coding is very time consuming. Another hurdle was grasping the subtle differences between seemingly similar tags and their appropriate usage contexts. This required big atten...

Starting alone, continued by all

  As times goes by, weather has been changing and shocking everyone. The atmosphere is rising in temperature, floods are being common, many landslides are occuring, and Sea Levels are rising. Because of us, being irresponsible in caring for the nature, we forget about what are its effects. In joining various programs and practicing effective actions, we can minimize the rapid changing of the climate. This change of the weathers, can destroy the agricultural lands and crops that affect the farmers and us consumers.   Bayanihan is one of the best characteristics of a Filipino. Bayanihan shows resiliency among us Filipinos because we are always ready to help. In times of calamities, we keep our smiles and just move on by helping each other to rise up from these nightmares. To have a stronger and effective preparation, the government implements various programs that spread awareness and knowledge about the change of climate. As we all know, we can never stop climate change. Howeve...
