    The second quarter came and went in a flash. We learned a lot of lessons and learned a lot of new interesting information's. Aside from that, we'll be moving forward in the academic year. With that in mind, here are my second-quarter reflections. This quarter has taught me a lot, both in terms of life lessons and information that I will need in the future. The last two months or so have been quite difficult; the second quarter had something to do with HTML, I'm not knowledgeable with HTML or web design, so I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to do well. Though I was wrong, I was able to understand it pretty well. I'm pretty contented on what I've done cause I know I did my best, although I find it difficult managing my time on my studies, my family, friends and even the things I want to do; I lack motivation. Motivation is required to do tasks successfully. This quarter, I've lost motivation, which is why I've struggled to complete my schoolwork...

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It's all about helping people and giving back. During the month of December, people remember Jesus Christ and his life lessons. It's just a gentle reminder of why we must remain true to our humanity's essential values. We are urged to share, donate to the less fortunate, spend time with loved ones, and have a positive outlook on life in general through celebration.  Christmas in Vigan has always felt enchanting.   When wandering through the streets of Calle Crisologo or resting on the Plaza Burgos swings, you can feel the Christmas air. However, when the pandemic struck, everything changed. The pandemic has been going on for about three years, which means we've had two Christmas seasons during this time. We light parols in Vigan City to keep the festive spirit alive. Various Christmas decorations are strewn over the city's central district. Tourist Attractions additionally adds Christmas decorations to the location of our attra...

  A festival, often known as a "Fiesta," is an important component of Filipino culture. A fiesta is held in each city or province. Because Philippines is such a religiously based country, fiestas are frequently held to honor the patron saint of a city or province, or to commemorate a harvest. In the Philippines, there is always a fiesta going on. A fiesta is a special occasion that includes a dinner for family and friends. They are always vibrant and one-of-a-kind. The Philippines, like most Asian countries, is rich in culture and heritage. The goal of this festival is to find joy in the midst of a pandemic. To honor how resilient the city has been in the face of the pandemic. We should celebrate the people's solidarity in order to preserve the true character of the fiesta, as well as the sacrifices made by the frontliners and the government's leadership in assisting and leading us to prevent unwelcome events. All events at the Vigan City Festival have been canceled d...

  The New Year is greeted with great enthusiasm and fervor all across the world. The start of a New Year is marked by the end of the previous year's 31st December at 12 a.m. and the beginning of the following year's 1st January. The year 2022 is approaching, and a New Year's essay is a popular topic in elementary schools. Here is a brief and powerful essay for pupils on the New Year 2022. All across the world, the New Year is celebrated with great fervor and delight. People use this day to ring in the new year in their own special way. The market offers a wide range of clothing and accessories. Food and customs abound throughout India's New Year's Day celebrations. The occasion is commemorated with music and dance. The children are excited because they will be able to try a variety of cuisines and will be able to go on a nice vacation with their family or friends on this day. The effects of the COVID-19 panic has caused a massive changes to our daily lives including...

  We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to experience the normal Christmas joy and mirth that we have come to expect. COVID spreads through social gatherings, and we're more vulnerable around the holidays, when we're tempted to leave our inner bubbles to visit others. We must, however, avoid this temptation and remain safe at home this year. Even though this holiday season will be unique – and unpleasant for many – we can rest assured that the sacrifices we make today will protect us, our loved ones, and our communities in the future. The idea is to have everyone here next year to celebrate in person. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/18...

Children are the world's future. They will be the leaders of tomorrow, making decisions that will have a direct impact on our generation. Because children are malleable, it is our responsibility to mold them well and guide them in the right direction. W e have to know how to teach and educate them adequately so they could be prepared to lead future generations.  All children should be taught peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality, and unity.   I consider that each child has its own way of learning; there are multiple ways in which a person could be intelligent and capable of completing tasks. Children of today will become grownups who will work and manage the country in the future. When children's rights are protected, they have a much better chance of growing up in a society that permits them to thrive. Children are entitled to extra protection and assistance since they are considered vulnerable. Regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, wealth, or place of birth, every ...

 We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has been affecting the entire world. COVID-19 is killing people on a large scale. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently depending on our status as individuals and as members of society. While some try to adapt to working online, homeschooling their children and ordering food via Instacart, others have no choice but to be exposed to the virus while keeping society functioning. A lot of people lost their job, lost their love ones and lost their life that they supposed to be enjoying at this era of their lives. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit.  I hope all of us will help each other and cooperate and follow health protoco...
