NEW YEAR NEW ME

 As I welcome another year, It started a happy new beginning. In this new year, I'm focusing on nurturing habits that bring balance and joy. My daily routine became better. I'm starting this year simply, I changed my eating habits. Last year, I'm not eating lunch but I'm eating lunch. Now, I'm eating 3 times a day because my goal is to get fat. I'm setting goals and trying new things. This year, I'll take care of myself, I'm so thankful and I want to learn from mistakes. I'm enjoying life and I'm taking care of myself. No big promises and adjustments. Just being me. It's amazing how these small adjustments can recalibrate my perspective. Now, I'm loving myself exactly as I am, I won't pressure myself from different instances because I want to be myself and enjoy life.

My Christmas Vacation Experience

Since the Christmas break started my day becomes boring, because my daily routine was the same as how I spend my weekends. Most of the time I’m on my bed playing online game with my friends. This is my boring daily routine during Christmas break; when I wake up in the morning I’ll pick up my phone to see what time is it, if it’s still early like 6-7 am Ill continue sleeping until 10am, then after I get up furnished my bed and go to the kitchen, to wash my mouth and find foods to eat. After eating it’s either I’m going to wash dishes or play mobile legends with my friends, that's what I'm doing before the Christmas day.

During Christmas or Noche Buena I did not really enjoy the moment unlike the Christmas before, the spark will never be the same as the past. After the Noche Buena back to normal again, then in December 28,2024 we went to Narvacan to visit our relatives and go to our niece christening. Then, when we are preparing for mega noche I felt so happy because my family is complete, I enjoyed watching fireworks during new year, I enjoyed this season of Cristmas although the joy is unlike the Christmas before. That's all my boring Christmas vacation, until we go back to the reality that we need to go school

The 2024 Indigenous Peoples Month

          The Indigenous Peoples Month and 27th Year Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA),this aims to promote and Protect Indigenous Rights.  Based on my research the celebration of 2024 Indigenous Peoples Month and the 27th commemoration of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997, the NCIP is gearing up to deepen the country’s awareness and understanding of Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples.With the theme, “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalan” or “Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge,” the month-long festivity underscores key areas that identifies ICCs/IPs, specifically their contributions in agriculture and food security; their culture and customs and traditions woven in their natural environment and ancestral domains; their roles as stewards of our country’s land and seas; and their leadership role in nation building.

         The cultural preservation that showcase traditional practices, music, dance, and art. It is also for awareness campaigns such as conducting a documentaries, forums, and discussions on indigenous issues. And in advocating for policies protecting indigenous rights. The inclusivity and recognition in integrating indigenous knowledge for incorporate traditional practices into modern education, and language preservation that promotes indigenous languages, and also in cultural exchanges like inter-community dialogues. Furthermore in addressing historical injustices we should reconciliate initiatives such as addressing past human rights violations, land rights to protect ancestral domains, and also the social services for them to access healthcare, education, and livelihood opportunities.

      This celebration honors the contributions of indigenous peoples to Philippine society, promoting unity, recognition, and protection of their rights. In celebrating Indigenous Peoples Month, we honor their contributions and resilience of their communities, we recognize the importance of cultural diversity, advocate for social justice and equality, and foster a more inclusive and equitable society. Thus, we should encourage all Filipino to join this celebration, although we're not belong the indigenous peoples.

Resiliency of Filipinos due to effect of Climate change

         Climate change has significantly impacted the Philippines. The following are the reasons why climate change occurs; increased carbon emissions from industrialization, transportation and energy consumption contribute to global warming, widespread deforestation for agriculture, urbanization and logging reduces natural carbon sinks and other illegal activities that is affecting our planet. Climate-related stresses the impact of agricultural productivity. Filipinos' resilience amidst climate change is remarkable. Addressing these challenges requires collective action, balancing economic development, environmental protection and social justice. Effective governance, community engagement and sustainable practices will help mitigate climate impacts.

Because of climate change the strong successive typhoons entered the country. Due to consecutive typhoons here in the Philippines especially in Luzon, a lot of Filipino were affected. Successive tropical cyclones have severely impacted the Philippines, Cagayan and Batanes are the mainly affected by the typhoon. The typhoons caused widespread damage in the Philippines, thousands of families and children without access to safe water and sanitation facilities based on the news. Based on my research the 11th and 12th tropical cyclones to hit the country this year affected at least 4.2 million individuals approximately 1.3 million of them children and displaced over 300,000. The agriculture also affected especially crops. For the rice production, the damage amounted to P5.93 billion with a production loss of 325,860 metric tons, based on the update of PhilStar. In agriculture Billion pesos were wasted. Several roads, bridges, and schools were also damaged, and the flooding and typhoons lasts for weeks or almost a month which really affects their lives. The typhoon caused major damage to lives and livelihoods, with a significant number of deaths, and made a historical impact.   

           Yet, Filipino remains resilient although we faced a lot of struggle due to calamities. We all know that Filipino are surviving from a lot of calamities and disasters especially on typhoons which is showing how resilience Filipinos are. By cooperations and collaboration or the bayanihan spirit alive, it helps them to build a good and resilient community. Filipinos are known as survivors, a strong fighter in times of calamities. We manage to survive from disappointments, we emerge more strongly and determined to face the challenges.

Insight on the 2024 National Children's month celebration

The 2024 National Children's month celebration with the theme:Break the prevelence, end the violence: protecting children, creating a safe Philippines 

The theme "Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines" underscores the urgent need to address the pervasive issue of violence against children in the country. This theme serves as a call to action, emphasizing the collective responsibility of individuals, communities, institutions and the government to ensure the safety, welfare and well-being of Filipino children.The Philippines has seen alarming rates of child abuse, exploitation and neglect. The celebration aims to raise awareness about these issues and promote strategies for prevention and intervention.The increasing online presence of children has exposed them to cyber bullying, grooming and other digital threats. The theme highlights the need for safe online spaces and digital literacy.Bullying remains a significant concern in Philippine schools, affecting children's mental health and academic performance.

To prevent this issue we must spread awareness to the public about the prevalence and impact of violence against children, and push for legislation and policy enhancements to prevent and address violence against children. The government should train professionals, educators and community leaders on child protection and violence prevention. To enhanced public understanding of violence against children and its consequences.

The 2024 National Children's Month celebration serves as a reminder that protecting children's rights and ensuring their safety is everyone's responsibility. Let us unite to report incidents of violence against children, and advocate for policy reforms. We can break the prevalence of violence and create a safer, more nurturing Philippines for more better future generations.

Reflection

 My Reflection this 2ndQuarter of the School Year:

This second quarter I'm so disappointed to myself, because I did not meet my own expectations to myself and I didn't do anything to improve my study habits which I really want it to be better. But it's still not too late to change my attitude and to improve myself to become better. So, this upcoming next quarter I do really want to be more focus on my academics, I'll do my best to meet my own expectations. Because of disruption of classes it leads me to become more lazy in going to school, and it's really affected my academics.

For the next grading period, I will manage my time and learn to train myself to do better for my academics. I will prioritize my assignments and tasks, and learn how to reduce distractions. As a student I need to manage my time for my own sake, for me not having a time management can really affect my life. Thus, I want to force myself to be good and better. Although I'm lazy with regard to my academics I still learned some new things from the activities and other lessons.

In ICT I learned new things such as; the uses of notepad, encoding, uses of tags, and etc.. I enjoyed the days when we are doing our activities in HTML tags, it's fun to learn something new in ICT. HTML activities for beginners, including an activity that teaches how to use attributes to change the personality or actions of a tag, and the introduction to HTML that explains how tags are used to format text, change the typeface, or embolden or italicize are helpful to learn new knowledge in technology or computers. As we learn basic tags for us as a beginners it was fun and amazing experience.
