A First Quarter Reflection

During the first quarter of ICT, I gained valuable skills in creating and managing blogs, from picking interesting topics to designing layouts that attract an audience. I also learned how the internet has evolved over time, which helped me understand its significant role in modern society, especially in communication, education, and entertainment. Additionally, I became more familiar with the ways data is transferred and shared online, which gave me insight into how information is organized and accessed in a digital world. Most importantly, I developed the ability to cite sources correctly, ensuring my work is both credible and free of plagiarism.


One of the challenges I faced was getting to grips with the technical side of data and understanding different internet protocols, which felt complex at first. Another hurdle was making sure my blog was not only interesting but also functioned properly from a technical standpoint. Additionally, learning the right way to cite sources presented difficulties since there are different rules depending on the type of content.

To address these issues, I broke down difficult topics into smaller, easier-to-understand sections. I also watched videos and read tutorials to help me fully grasp the material. In terms of blogging, I tried out several different designs and features until I found something that worked well. For citing sources, I practiced using various citation tools and double-checked my work with my teacher to ensure accuracy.

Looking ahead, I plan to further my knowledge of blogging by exploring more advanced features, such as using multimedia in my posts. I also want to improve my understanding of how data is handled online and continue refining my blog’s layout to make it more visually appealing and effective for sharing information.

A Quarter of Discovery and Learning

       This quarter has been a journey of growth and new experiences, much like setting off on an adventure full of discoveries. One of the most significant things I learned was HTML coding, especially in creating different types of lists such as ordered, unordered, and nested lists. At first, it was quite confusing, as the codes seemed like a mix of unfamiliar symbols. But with continuous practice, everything started making sense, and I realized how important proper organization is in building a website. Aside from this, we also worked on Community-Based Research (CBR), where we conducted a study in Tamorong, Sta. Catalina.      Of course, the learning process was not always easy. HTML coding required patience because even a small mistake could affect the entire structure. Meanwhile, our CBR research was also challenging since we had to gather data, interact with people, and ensure the reliability of their responses. There were moments when it felt o...

A Life of Service and Leadership

     Elpidio Quirino , the sixth President of the Philippines, is remembered for his dedication to rebuilding the nation after World War II. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino came from humble beginnings. His father was a warden, and his mother was a teacher. Despite financial difficulties, Quirino excelled in his studies. He graduated from the University of the Philippines College of Law in 1915 and passed the bar the same year, marking the start of his journey in public service.        Quirino’s political career began when he served as a private secretary to then-Senate President Manuel Quezon.

Lunar New Year: A Filipino Fiesta!

     Chinese New Year is one of the most festive and widely celebrated events in the Philippines. Even though it is a Chinese tradition, many Filipinos actively participate in the celebration every year. Streets are decorated with red lanterns, families share special dishes like tikoy and dumplings, and businesses offer discounts to attract customers. But why is this foreign tradition so important in the Philippines?      One of the main reasons Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year is because of the strong influence of Chinese culture in the country. For centuries, Chinese traders and migrants have lived in the Philippines, bringing their customs, traditions, and beliefs. Over time, they became part of Filipino society, and their traditions blended with local customs. Today, many Filipino-Chinese families continue to celebrate their heritage, and even non-Chinese Filipinos join in the festivities.        Filipinos love celebrations tha...
