It's Time for a Change, Let us Mitigate Climate Change

 Climate change poses significant challenges to the lives of many Filipinos, primarily due to the country's geographic location. The Philippines is located in a region prone to extreme weather events, such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, which have become increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change. These natural disasters lead to loss of lives. The impact of these events is felt most acutely by those in low-income areas, where resources for recovery are limited.

Another one contributing to environmental changes is innovation and the increasing demand for energy. As cities expand and populations grow, the reliance on fossil fuels increase, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions. This not only contributes to climate change but also increases the vulnerability of places to flooding and heatwaves. 


Lastly, the lack of effective leaders and implementation of climate adaptation strategies obstructs the Philippines' ability to respond to these challenges. While initiatives like the Climate Change Commission and the People's Survival Fund have been established, there are still obstacles to effective solutions.

    It is true that climate change is a great threat not only to us but also towards other living and no n-living things here on earth. We really should do something to mitigate it, sure we can't stop it but we can make a change by trying to slow it down.

Happy Valentine's Day! : Celebrating Success, while they're celebrating Affection

 Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, is a special day for showing love and affection to partners, friends, and family. It has roots in the story of Saint Valentine, but today it reminds us to appreciate our relationships and share our feelings. As Valentine's Day approaches, many people look for gifts, especially flowers. While roses and traditional flowers are popular, I have found my own way to celebrate this day that has also made me successful. Instead of selling regular flowers, My sister and I create and sell flowers made from crocheted yarn, satin, and fuzzy wires.  Each flower is made special. The money we earn makes us feel delighted but the real joy comes from when someone chooses our flowers to show their love. It Somewhats makes me feel proud and happy.

Priceless learnings

 This quarter, I reflected on my experiences with community-based research, HTML frames, and nested lists.  In community-based research, I discovered how important it is to work with local communities. By listening to their needs and involving them in research, we can gather better information and build trust. This approach helps ensure that our work is relevant and beneficial to the people we aim to help. When we learned about HTML frames, we saw how to organize web content in a way that makes it easier for users to navigate. Using frames allows us to show different pieces of information at the same time, which can improve the overall experience for anyone visiting a website. Finally, working with nested lists taught us how to organize information clearly. By breaking down complex ideas into smaller, easy-to-understand parts, we can help others follow our thoughts more easily. This skill is useful not just in coding but also in presenting our research and ideas. References: *...

World of Wonders (THEMATIC)

 June the month of environment, a month-long celebration reminding us about the pressing need to resolve environmental problems we face, from climate change and pollution to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. It challenges us to reflect on our responsibilities toward the environment and to undertake steps to reduce our ecological footprint. It makes us work toward a better future for us and for generations to come. Certain things could initially appear little and straightforward, but when we gather all of these little parts and put them all together, they might become something larger. For example, unplugging appliances when they are not in use, by doing this simple thing we can conserve and save electricity.  Another way I contributed to the environment is of course planting. Planting helps not only us humans, but also animals. Plants have many benifits, such as it serves as a shade for a hot day, it gives fresh air that clears out bad gasses, etc.  Third, by choos...
