Moreover, Chinese New Year is also seen as an opportunity for Filipinos to come together and celebrate new beginnings. The holiday's themes of renewal, hope, and good fortune resonate with people of all cultures.


In conclusion, Filipinos observe Chinese New Year as a way to honor the country's cultural diversity and to celebrate the values of family, friendship, and new beginnings.

Reflection for Quarter 2

The second quarter of Grade 10 has been an exciting time as we dived into the basics of HTML, or HyperText Markup Language. I must say it has been an eye-opening experience. At the start, I had little to no knowledge about web development, but now I understand the core structure of web pages and how they are created. We learned the basic elements of HTML, including tags, attributes, and the essential structure of an HTML document.

Describing myself for being Who I Am

Image
In a world full of circumstances, I am the one who tries to face and fight for all the challenges that I may face, a person that keeps keeping her problems because she doesn't want everybody to think and help her if she already knows to herself that she can also do it for herself, and she can find a way to resolve her own challenges and doesn't want everybody to know even though her family. Describing myself for being who I am, I am also a person who loves to watch a sunset because it reminds me that every challenge that I may face has a beautiful thing that is coming. And I am the person who wants to achieve all her ambitions, although there are a lot of circumstances for achieving all of my goals. But I will try my best to cope with all of those challenges. Facing tough situations in life can be really challenging, but it can also help you grow and become stronger. To handle these circumstances better, try to accept what's happening and be flexible. Understanding situatio...
