 Kalesas are more than just horse-drawn carriages, they’re a living emblem of Filipino heritage, carrying the echoes of history through cobblestone streets and bustling town plazas. Each brightly painted kalesa, adorned with delicate patterns and cheerful colors, reflects the artistry and spirit of local communities, turning a simple ride into a moving celebration of culture. Once the heart of transportation in the islands, kalesas now bridge past and present, offering a graceful glimpse into the Philippines’ rich traditions while honoring the quiet bond between horse and rider that has endured for generations. Riding a kalesa isn’t just a journey, it’s a passage through the soul of Filipino history Burnay jars, like the kalesa, are living symbols of Filipino tradition, crafted with patient hands and generations of skill in Ilocos. Each jar, with its earthy tones and sturdy form, tells the story of the people who shaped it, farmers, potters, and everyday folk, turning clay into ves...

 The second quarter for me was probably the least enjoyable one, not much really peaked my interest if at all and I often found myself spacing out in the classroom from boredom, I'm gonna be honest here and say I've not retained much of what was taught to me but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it... probably. I think I got too many things that interests me more than keeping up with the whatever the next lesson is which is likely the cause of my dip in grades, not that I'm gonna excuse myself though, I can reason through a lot of stuff but this one ain't one of them, if anything I'm gonna cut the fluff and listen to that one quote about honesty being the best policy, that would also imply I shouldn't have any restraint for a food I deeply dislike and encourages me to insult something even if the action is against my morals but whatever 

Ah yes, teachers, dancing the precise ballet of education, minds of the next generation lie on their shoulders and how the next era's proffesionals will do solely depends on how they teach, be it strict or lenient. I've got no more words :D

 Ah yes, the Science Month, and just like the title "Harnessing the Unknown", much of what happened over there is harnessed by me as unknown, by that I mean I wasn't there when it happened and I just sat in the classroom until it ended playing games and listening to Blink 182. I've got nothing to show here but atleast I'm honest, being honest so I don't have to slug through looking through other people's blogs to get a glimpse into what I missed, I'm not gonna excuse anything because I can't, just being honest of what happened, I know I'm gonna get a pretty unisightly grade but what matters to me the most is I put personality into this and just submitted something so my grades aren't blank

Climate Change and the Resilience of Filipinos Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of our time. It brings stronger typhoons, longer droughts, and rising sea levels, and the Philippines, being an archipelago, often takes the full brunt of these disasters. Every year, communities face floods, landslides, and storms that tear through homes and livelihoods. Yet even in the face of such relentless hardship, Filipinos have shown a remarkable spirit of resilience, adapting and rebuilding time and time again.  From farmers adjusting their planting schedules to coastal towns organizing evacuation plans, Filipinos find creative ways to survive and support one another. Bayanihan, that classic Filipino tradition of helping neighbors, is alive and well, especially during calamities. Even after devastating storms like Haiyan (Yolanda), the world saw how Filipinos smiled through the ruins, turning pain into hope and rebuilding with courage. This unbreakable optimism and communi...
