Hearts to Hearts

   Up to this day, the well-known celebration, Valentine's Day is celebrated yearly and globally every February 14th of the year. Ever wonder where it originated from? Valentine's Day, which is also known as St. Valentine's Day, came from a famous saint, St. Valentine, but no one knows who Valentine was. Also, in this special time, people seize the opportunity to present their affection for another person by doing acts of service such as gifting and providing messages.




          Why do we celebrate it? According to Newsround, the celebration was initially an old tradition that originated from a Roman festival called Lupercalia. A belief from the Lupercalia is that boys drew names of girls from a box, and whichever person they drew would-be boyfriend and girlfriend during the festival and get married during some times; this wasn't proven true yet. As time went by, the church turned this into a Christian celebration named after St. Valentine. Hence, for these reasons, Valentine's Day has since then been celebrated around the world.




        Many people celebrate this to show their love for different people, may it be their romantic partners, friends, colleagues, and any loved ones. This celebration is a pathway for showing their love and appreciation for those said earlier. As I mentioned earlier, many people express their affection in many ways. For instance, I cling more to quality time, other than gifting or acts of service. With the people I love truly, I manage to give them enough time; I manage to allot time to bond with them despite having less time for my own to solve my problems.


    Valentine's Day has been globally recognized, and it's a blessing. It's nice to have a celebration wherein everyone promotes love, peace, and affection towards each other. How about you, how do you express your love?

Strongest People With the Kindest Hearts

       They go through numerous struggles, go through sleepless nights, go through heaping workloads, go through psychological drawbacks. However, they go through every predicament with a strong mind, with the same objectives in mind – to mentor, to inspire, to guide, and to develop a person by providing the direction they need. First of all, teachers show how dedicated they are to providing their students with general and academic knowledge; with their love for teaching, they can instill a positive atmosphere wherein students have a comfortable learning zone while being encouraged to explore various learning areas. To have a comfortable learning zone is pivotal for students, for such an environment can and will help them be nurtured with empowering skills and creativity. Teachers are often dubbed as our second parents, but other than that, I confidently consider them as students’ learning buddies in life.      Apart from teachers being learning buddi...

Tagged My Way Through

          In the blink of an eye, another quarter passes. Who knew that time could pass by faster than it already does? Throughout the whole quarter, I enjoyed creating blog posts, as well as learning HTML tags.           HTML tags are the first thing I learned in ICT this quarter. It was simple at first, starting with the stand-alone tags <br>(line break), and <hr>(horizontal rule), which don't need an end tag. As time went by, more and more HTML tags were discussed by our teacher, Ma'am Evelyn; it got more and more complicated along the way. For instance, I often made mistakes in the encoding process; may I have been mistyping or forgetting to put some symbols. Moreover, I have two favorite moments, with my reasoning being having the freedom to do whatever I want. First, I liked the color attribute because it allowed me to choose what color I wanted. Second, saving pictures gave me a chance to name the file freely...

          When two love birds collide , a precious gem is delivered. Being named Airish Yafa Landicho, my name is a combination of both my parents' creativity. I was born in Israel, but my father and I returned to the Philippines when I was 3 months old. I initially lived in Leynes, Talisay Batangas. However, I moved to Ilocos Sur to fulfill my first level of education. As of the present time, I have two siblings that I consider my dearest in life.     First of all, I am a   student who excels in a few subjects. Despite having weaknesses, I focus on the positives and strengths. I consider my smartness as my big strength. With this, I managed to top classes. Every year, I am high honors, thanks to the Lord and those people who support and love me.   In conclusion, I do not need to be  about my weaknesses. I have my strengths and weaknesses. Everyone does. So, the best thing to do is to think positively. This way, we can be a goo...
