My Twelve Days of Vacation; Christmas holiday and New Year

Hey there ka-bigueño! As I'm about to write my experiences during my twelve days of vacation, I want to say that I hope you have enjoyed your twelve days of  vacation with your family and friends with happiness and joy as well.


Within the twelve days of my vacation, me and my family didn't really went out to go to some tourists places, in short, we mostly just stayed in our house or go to the farm to check on our crops and planted some vegetables. We also went on a camp with me and my relatives, on my father's side. It might sound boring and not fun at all for you, am I right? But for me, it wasn't boring as you think it is, in fact, I actually enjoyed it, I had fun at the farm: Relaxing, inhaling fresh air, help my parents plant some vegetables and water our crops. 

Do you want to know why I enjoyed it so much even though it's not a fancy place where we can take pictures together and post it on social media? Because I get to spend more quality time with my family, we were able to share our joyful laughter and smiles, we were able to share how our day went, we were able to enjoy the littlest things like planting and harvesting together.







But, I did not only spend my time with my family, I also spent time and reunited my two elementary friends after a while of not seeing each other due to our incompatible schedules in school. I was very much ecstatic and enthused that I got to spend two days to hangout with my elementary friends. I was delighted that we have caught up with each other, share some stories: of how we are doing, how our student life is going on, and many more. It somehow made me feel like we were once again in elementary sitting on our armchairs inside our classroom, talking and sharing stories to each other while waiting for our next subject teacher. I felt so happy that we got see and have time for each other again.


And lastly, as we end the year 2024, we, on my mother's side, gathered together and prepared for the welcoming of the new year. At exactly 12:00 AM, loud beeps of motorcycles, loud sounds from the torotots of the children who were anticipating the moment, loud pangs from the stainless pots can be heard and pops of the beautiful sparks of fireworks in the dark sky with shining glitters (the stars) scattered and the moon lighting and watching us in the dark as we celebrated the new year with another set of challenges to face and to surpass. 

However, during the celebration of new year and Christmas, I was a little bit sad as my cousin, who have withered away from this world last march 2024, cannot be with us, it was painful for me that we were celebrating our Christmas and new year without her for the first time. :(






Always remember, the importance of Christmas is about spending quality time with family and friends even in just a short span of time. Share laughter, smiles and stories to each other. Most especially, it is very crucial in our daily lives to always spend time with our mighty Jesus Christ.

Reflection of What I Have Experienced and Accomplished for the Second Quarter

Image
Time doesn't really stop right? It's unbelievable that second quarter is coming to an end. . The second quarter has surely taught me a lot. I gained new experiences in coding, particularly the HTML. I have also discovered how to apply the basic HTML tags that we have lessoned during the second quarter and it helped me expand my knowledge in the basics of coding, including the blogs that we wrote that helped me acquire more improvements. However, there were also challenges the I have encountered. There were times where I struggled to understand and keeping up with our lessons, there were also times where I struggled to understand and grasp the concepts of  HTML codes. But I have surpassed these challenges by being optimistic and not letting the problem overwhelm me, asking help from my classmates and teacher and thinking of an immediate solution to the problem I encountered while doing our coding activities. Moving on, I will use what we have learned during the second quarter to...
