Empowered Women, Empower Women

Image
               In all seriousness, without women, we are nothing at this point. For without them, mankind cannot reproduce and there will be no children to bring out to this world. Being a woman is struggle and a duty that fellow females have been through and still are. Although with that said, both men and women are equally needed and important to our society, that is to maintain the balance of life.                Women's empowerment is known to be the process in which women elaborate and recreate what it is that they can be, do, and accomplish in a circumstance that they previously were denied on. Empowerment can be defined in many ways, however, when talking about women's empowerment, empowerment means accepting and allowing people (women) who are on the outside of the decision-making process into it. “This puts a strong emphasis on participation in political structures and formal decision-maki...

One Last Brain Cell to Waste

Image
            We’re almost there aren’t we? Time flies by pretty fast, huh? Three quarters down, one more to go. Just one single push left and our days in Junior High will be over soon. Then again, we’ll get onto another chapter in our lives, Senior High we’re coming for you!             I got to admit that this quarter has been the most stress I’ve endured during this school year. It’s been hard to focus and concentrate on doing school work due to me being all drained out of life almost every single day. It’s true, I haven’t been motivated as much or maybe not even anymore, I guess. Honestly nowadays, every single thing, whether it’s something small and/or big, it irritates me. No matter how shallow nor deep a situation is, I just can’t pull myself together and do what I have to do on that certain situation that I am seated on. With that said, that definitely includes my sch...

It is to be said that vaccines are way more important than we think it is, for not does it only prevent us from the said virus but it helps lessen the spread of...

To Honor Those on The Day of Valor

Image
                Wars. It’s not all about bloodshed. It may seem like a brutal word to say, but there is still beauty within its dark circle. In the art of war, there is a fight for love, freedom and peace. Though to acquire such means is to carry out dedication and savagery.  To those brave souls whom died and sacrificed their lives, even those whom have survived such chaos for the freedom of our motherland, they deserve our outmost respect, for we owe them.                The Katipunan, officially known as Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Kattupunan (KKK), was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos at Manila in 1892 - whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The revolution against Spain was sparked in 1896 after Spanish authorities discovered the Katipunan. It ended in 1902, wherein Spain lost and ceded sovereignty of the Philippin...

            It is clear that no human being is perfect for all have sinned and are sinners. This Lenten Season, also known as “Mahal na Araw” or “Semana Santa” in our country, the Philippines.

Let the Tradition Prevail Amongst Pandemic

Image
             Endless fun and laughter. Festive lights and street dances. Parades and various food stalls. This what describes a Festival if I commit it to mind. Each year, we’ve celebrated festivals upon festivals. Every corner of a town would be filled with colorful and festive lights and banners. People would gather all around to create a big crowd and witness the beauty of what’s about to come. Merchants and vendors from different towns come together, not only for business, but to enjoy the show as well. Various games, activities and fun things await the people for them to enjoy themselves and also for those whom are around to watch. Festivals are a part of our culture and tradition. It is one of the most significant events within a community. Just like in every town, region and country, in the province of Ilocos Sur is dated an important event known as the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival whom are celebrated by the Ilocano people. O...

To Reflect What Has Been Learned

Image
                              I can say that I have learned a lot better compared to the last quarter. I quite done well during this 2 nd quarter, but not as much I guess. Although, I am still not satisfies in what I do, nor happy about it. It’s just… I haven’t been feeling well and I don’t have much of an inspiration to look up to.                                 Nonetheless, I’ve gained knowledge regarding HTML – about how to create numerous tags, web pages using the Notepaad app and many more. It was fun to encode the hands-on activities to say the least. As of the drafts, just by thinking about it, it actually makes my mind go numb as I go through it. To be honest, it drains me a lot when I do these drafts in particular, its not that I hate it though. Its better to say that its more of a lack of ...
