My Journey within the 2nd Quarter

As we wrap up the second quarter, it's time to pause and reflect on the journey so far. It's been a period of growth, challenges, and exciting discoveries.

This quarter, I've deepened my practical skills in using HTML within Notepad. I learned something about basic html tags and other things that can be applied to HTML using the notepad.I explored how to set background color and background images and also, I learned how to use the break rule <br> and horizontal rule <hr> to organize text effectively. And lastly, I discovered how to use basic HTML tags to structure a webpage, and how to apply text formatting tags. Additionally, I gained experience using the Notepad.

One of the problems/challenges that I encountered was remembering the correct syntax for each HTML tag and attributes to avoid errors. Because, sometimes when there is a missing bracket or quotation mark, the HTML won't function, and it was difficult to find what went wrong. And another one is applying background images to HTML. because, at times, when applying a background image, it doesn't apply so you have to repeat it again and it's time consuming.

To overcome these challenges, I practiced and review the step-by-step process on how to apply the different HTML tags so that it doesn't consume time. I also asked assistance to my classmates so that they can help me with the things in the HTML tags that I don't understand. Lastly, I always double checking my output/activity before saving to avoid repeating errors.

Moving on, I will continue practicing, to master the HTML. And explore more advanced text formatting and layout techniques. In addition to that, I also like to improve my coding speed and accuracy. In addition, I will also continue double checking my outputs or activities in applying the different HTML tags to avoid errors.

Resiliency of the Filipino's in the face of Climate Change

Climate change is the long term changing of Earth's weather patterns. This is happening because of the actions of people that can damage our environment. And this causes deforestation, waste management, and also burning fossil fuels. The consequences include the rising of sea levels and global temperatures.

 A defining characteristics of Filipino's is their resilience in terms of climate change, influenced by our country's experiences natural disasters such as typhoons and floods.

The predominant reasons for sudden or progressive changes that adversely affect many Filipinos lives or living conditions, are usually connected and embedded in human activities and natural disasters.

 

My insights are that the complex relationship between human activities, environmental changes and the resilience of the Filipinos. It is very inspiring to see how the Filipinos are very resilient in terms of climate change. But being resilient is insufficient. We need to address these problems and also we need a better environment for our future. Every leader has a knowledge about the environment to create a better future and to addressed the devastating effect of climate change. Additionally, we need to work together to reduce the impact of climate change on our country so that the lives of the Filipinos are not affected.
