Chinese New Year

 

 Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year due to the deep historical and cultural connections between the Philippines and the Chinese community. Chinese settlers have been a part of Filipino society for centuries, with many establishing trade, business, and familial ties. Over the years, the Chinese community has played a significant role in shaping the country’s economy, culture, and traditions. As a result, the celebration of Chinese New Year has gradually become an important cultural event for many Filipinos, transcending ethnic lines and becoming part of the national fabric.

 The influence of Chinese traditions on Filipino life is evident in various practices associated with the celebration. Filipinos, even those without Chinese heritage, engage in activities like dragon dances, preparing symbolic foods, and decorating their homes with red, a color believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. The giving of ang pao, red envelopes with money, is another widely practiced tradition. These customs resonate with Filipinos’ love for festive gatherings, family bonding, and the pursuit of good fortune.

 Furthermore, Chinese New Year aligns with Filipino beliefs in prosperity, luck, and positive energy. Many Filipinos embrace the occasion as an opportunity to start the year with hope and optimism. The government's recognition of Chinese New Year as a special non-working holiday, starting in 2012, further highlights the importance of the celebration in Filipino society. The event not only honors Chinese heritage but also reflects the Philippines’ rich multicultural identity, where diverse traditions are embraced and celebrated.

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....

A New Learnings

   In the third quarter, I learned a lot about web development, especially HTML and how websites are organized. I discovered how to use HTML frames to divide a webpage into sections, which helps in creating a clear layout. I also explored HTML lists, which made it easier for me to organize content on a page. Learning about Content-Based Retrieval (CBR) was another interesting discovery, as it showed me how web pages can search for and display relevant content based on what users are looking for. This gave me a better understanding of how websites work behind the scenes.  However, I did face some challenges. One of the main difficulties was working with HTML frames. It was tricky to get everything aligned correctly, and sometimes the layout didn’t look the way I wanted. I also struggled with CBR, especially in figuring out how to use it to make the content retrieval process smooth. It felt overwhelming at first, but I knew I had to push through.  To solve these challe...
