A Christmas that I'm thankful for

 The Christmas season is always magical, but this year, it became even more meaningful. I spent my holiday reconnecting with loved ones and indulging in the warmth of family traditions.  The highlight was decorating our home with twinkling lights and a beautiful Christmas tree. It felt nostalgic as we hung ornaments that have been with us for years that reminds us how Christmas become one of the happiestday of our life. On Christmas Eve, we gathered for a delicious dinner filled with classic dishes like palabok, spaghetti, fruit salad, pansit and the sweet aroma of bibingka. Afterward, we exchanged heartfelt gifts and stories, creating memories that I’ll treasure forever. And also having ampao from our relatives that made our Christmas Eve the happiest.

The wise and stronger warrior of myself

 Every new year feels like a blank page, ready to be filled with new goals, changes, dreams, and opportunities. For 2025, I’m embracing a “new year, new me” mindset by focusing on personal growth and self-improvement which I'm failed to have when I'm battling with 2024. My first resolution is to prioritize health. This year, I plan to exercise regularly, eat more mindfully, and practice self-care but not just physical health also mental health. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, and I’m determined to stay consistent. In 2024 I hurted myself so much, I became a people pleaser, I questioned myself why they always leaved me yes I'm not perfect but I did my best to hold them with me, most of the time I suffered quietly no one noticed whats happening to me and no one knows I'm in pain and there's is a time that I felt that I'm carrying the world. Now in 2025, I will slowly change everything I need to focus on myself, I need to prioritize it. It's hard to do ...

MEANINGFUL QUATER TWO WITH HTML

Image
  This quarter I gained so much knowledge and valuable insights from the world of HTML codes and tags. I learned how to make web pages using tags like <html>,<body>,<head> and elements such as <h1> to <h6> for headings, <p> for paragraph and <a> for hyperlinks. Unlocking how these codes work and function was both exciting and rewarding. I learned making tables, inserting images, files and more. This lesson is very advanced and I'm happy that we encounter this as early as now for us to have a knowledge for the future. Not just about tags and codes but also I learned how to manage my time in doing all of my hands on activities for me to pass it on time.     Despite the happiness and excitement, I also faced challenges especially on interpreting what codes or tags I will use. There's so many tags and codes that it comes to the point thay I don't know what to use anymore, like the difference of using bg body color and body background....
