Chasing Mountains and Memories: My Unforgettable Journey to Bantay

- October 24, 2025

Last weekend, I traveled from Buquig, Bantay to Tayac, a place known for its mountain views and peaceful scenery. Three of my friends live there, while one lives nearby, and I was the one coming from the farthest area. The place is surrounded by tall hills and trees, giving it a calm and refreshing atmosphere - a perfect spot to unwind. It was our long-awaited meet-up, and we were all excited to finally spend a fun day together in nature. At first, there were supposed to be seven of us, but there is a conflict from the schedule, so it became 10am. When I arrived, one of my friends was already waiting for me outside. After my brother left, I climbed onto a motorcycle, which was quite difficult because the seat was very high, it felt like a challenge to even get on! Since there were already two of us on the motorbike, we decided to fetch first the other who also knew how to drive. That way, we could use two motorcycles and travel comfortably together. The ride was full of laughte...

Second Journey, Another Accomplishment

- October 21, 2025

This second quarter has been both an exciting and challenging journey as I explored the world of HTML and web development. Through our lessons, I discovered how HTML serves as the foundation of every website and how tags are used to structure content properly. I learned that HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is composed of elements written inside angle brackets such as <html>, <head>, and <body>. These tags define how text, images, and links appear on a webpage. I also realized that HTML is not as complicated as I first thought—it simply requires understanding the structure and purpose of each tag. The most enjoyable part for me was learning to design my own simple webpage, inserting pictures, making links clickable, and formatting text using tags like <b> for bold or <i> for italics. This made me appreciate how web developers create the sites we use every day and gave me the confidence that I can build my own someday. However, my learning ...

A Day to Honor Our Teachers

- October 12, 2025

Every year, we celebrate Teacher’s Month to honor the people who guide and teach us. This year’s theme, “My Teacher, My Hero,” reminds us that teachers are not only our mentors but also heroes who help us reach our dreams. They give their time, love, and effort to help students learn and become better people. To show our thanks, our class prepared simple surprises for our teachers. We gave them a cake and a bouquet of flowers. Yesterday, we made them laugh with a “lechon prank” — we gave them a box with flowers inside, and we danced with them. It was a fun and happy day that showed how much we love and appreciate our teachers. Me and my ate in journalism also surprised our coach in journalism, he's not just my coach and teacher in Filipino, but a father and an inspiration to me. At first, I don't really have the courage to join in journalism, but this year I tried. We did training every weekends, it was hard for me to balance academics and being a journalist. I told my coach th...
