A Special Day for Love

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion celebrated every February 14, in the calendar dedicated to love and affection. On this day, people express their love for someone special-who may be a partner, a family member, or a friend. The origin of the observance stretches back to ancient times but has developed into a contemporary celebration laden with gifts, cards, and little acts of kind-heartedness.

We celebrate Valentine's Day as a day of thanking people and as an act of love towards those significant persons in our lives. It has nothing to do solely with love relationships but also the connection between family and friends. A lot of people give chocolates, flowers, and heartfelt messages to show how much they care and are grateful. This is to remind one to cherish and value people who bring happiness into his or her life.

One might express love during Valentine's Day in so many ways: writing love letters, spending time together, or just simply doing little acts of kindness. Some do those very small and simple things that make a very big difference from all the rest. There are still others who surprise their loved ones with gifts that really don't have that much value but say "I love you" with a very sincere voice. The greatest thing about it is the genuine love and appreciation itself, whatever packages it assumes.

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.

During World War II, Quirino played a key ...

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...
