Holiday Magic, Holiday Journey

I Spent My Christmas Vacation with a unique blend of joy and reflection for my family and me. Although we didn’t travel out of the city or country, the time we spent together was filled with warmth and cherished moments that I will hold dear for years to come. The holiday season is always special, but this year, it took on a deeper meaning as we celebrated not just the festivities but also the memories of our loved ones.
One of the highlights of our vacation was the time we spent together at home. We decorated the house with twinkling lights and ornaments, creating a cozy atmosphere that filled our hearts with holiday spirit. We also baked coockies, sharing laughter and stories as we prepared our favorite dishes like carbonara, shanghai, and pancit.
In addition, we also visited the funeral park to pay our respects to our beloved lolo. This visit was bittersweet, as it reminded us of the love and wisdom he brought into our lives. We gathered around his resting place, sharing stories and memories that made us smile and cry. It was a moment of connection, not just with him but with each other, as we reflected on the importance of family and the legacy he left behind. As we lit candles and offered prayers, we felt a sense of peace and gratitude. It was a reminder that while he may no longer be with us physically, his spirit lives on in our hearts and in the traditions we continue to uphold. This experience brought us closer together, reinforcing the idea that family is not just about being together during happy times but also supporting each other through moments of sorrow.
In conclusion, my Christmas vacation was a beautiful blend of celebration and remembrance. The memories we created during this time will forever hold a special place in my heart. While we may not have traveled far, the love and connection we shared as a family made this holiday season truly unforgettable. I am grateful for the moments me and my family spent together, and I look forward to continuing our traditions in the years to come.

THEMATIC OUTPUT: National Women’s Month Celebration. 2024 18-day Campaign to End

 National Women’s Month Celebration. 2024 18-day Campaign to End         Violence Against Women (VAW) is a pressing issue that continues to plague societies across the globe, including the Philippines. Globally, an estimated one in three women experience physical, sexual, or emotional violence in their lifetime. In the Philippines, data from the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) by the Philippine Statistics Authority reveals that nearly one out of five women have suffered violence from their current or most recent partner. This alarming figure underscores the urgent need for stronger legal frameworks, community awareness, and sustained advocacy.

These efforts aim to educate, empower, and protect women while fostering a culture of respect and eq...

A Glimpse Into My World: Joyfull Journey

   Holaaa, I'm Alexah Joy, a 15-year-old girl from the charming city of Vigan. I was born on January 3, 2009, and I am the eldest daughter in my family. Being the firstborn has shaped me in many ways, especially in how I relate to my family.                                                               I’m often considered a daddy’s girl, but at the same time, I’m very independent.

Well, by Communicating more often with my papa, setting a boundary that can help me to maintain my independence while still allowing for a close relationship with my papa, taking responsibility that can also help me to feel more in control and independent, and lastly, I had to practice self-reflection on my feelings and needs. Let's move...

Day of Love and Affection

     14th February every year Valentine's Day is a celebration day with one single aim to commemorate love and affection. Though it has become more popular as an all-romantic couples' day, it encompasses friendship, family, and loving oneself. The day is all about acts of love, gifts of love, and celebration of relationship in a wider aspect. History of Valentine's Day      Valentine's Day history began in ancient Rome, where mid-February was the Lupercalia festival to celebrate the arrival of spring. The festival became more developed, and by the 5th century, Pope Gelasius declared February 14th St. Valentine's Day in honor of the life of St. Valentine, a Roman priest, who was convicted of marrying women and soldiers secretly against the emperor. His valiancy and kindness made him a lover and admirer of love and devotion. Why We Celebrate Valentine's Day?      Valentine's Day has become a global tradition that truly does not pay attenti...
