TIPS ON ACHIEVING 'GOALS'

Set goals

When you set a goal, you make a decision to act in a way that will help you achieve what you want. Goals give you a direction to focus on – one that’s measurable and has an endpoint. This can help you to stay motivated.

Choose goals that interest you

You’re much more likely to stay motivated if you’re working towards something that you genuinely want to do or achieve, rather than what other people want for you.

Find things that interest you within goals that don’t

Sometimes other people set goals or tasks for us that we don’t find interesting or want to do. So, try and find something within that task that does motivate you. For example: ‘I find maths challenging, but it’s going to help me become a builder, which I want more than anything.’

Plot your progress

When you’re working towards something, it can be really motivating if you can see evidence that you’re making progress. Draw or create a visual representation of how you’re coming closer to achieving the goal you’ve set yourself.

Use rewards

Promise yourself some sort of reward each time you complete a step/task.

I do believe that we all have our different goals for everything, it's just that we are lacking of something. Even me, I only have one goal for myself and that is to be at peace alone, I'm not referring to 'death' what I mean is being alone in a place where I wanna be and being able to do things I wasn't able to in my current situation.

Determination and motivation can beat knowledge itself. Always remember, we all are unique-- don't let yourself go with the flow, let the flow follow you.

THE BEAUTY OF THE PHILIPPINE

ISLAND

Matinloc Island, Palawan

Located in Bacuit Bay, off Palawan Island’s northerly El Nido region, Matinloc Island is home to some of the area’s most famous tourist attractions: Matinloc Shrine, a Virgin Mary church left eerily abandoned in a tropical cove; Secret Beach, only accessible by boat; and Hidden Beach, where craggy slate-grey rocks form a white-sand sheltered bay that backs onto rainforest. The covert beaches are concealed by El Nido’s iconic limestone formations and Matinloc Shrine offers some of the best panoramic views in the area.

Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte

Growing in popularity in the past few years, Siargao is known as the surfing capital of the Philippines. Surfers from all over the world visit to catch the perfect Cloud 9 swell. While it has long been a surfer’s paradise, regular beach lovers and vacationers are slowly discovering Siargao’s inland charms. Exploring this laidback island and its neighbours, you’ll find cool waterfalls to stand under, smooth limestone gullies to walk in and warm cave pools surrounded by tree-root smothered boulders. It’s a largely untouched landscape with an undeniable natural beauty; some are even calling it “the new Palawan”.

Boracay, Aklan

Just like Palawan, Boracay has enjoyed the title “World’s Best Island” for its powdery white sand beaches and glorious sunset views. It has long attracted travellers from all over the world, and as such has taken some wear and tear through the years. Because of massive commercialisation, the island is oversaturated with establishments and structures and is often crowded with more people than it can handle. Sewage and waste problems are also beginning to worsen. In 2018, the Philippine President ordered a complete six-month closure of the island, to allow its rehabilitation. This was the beginning of Boracay’s restoration to its former glory.

Calaguas, Camarines Norte

Strictly speaking, Calaguas is a group of islands, east of Manila in the province of Camarines Norte. While a handful of islands make up the area, the island of Tinaga is best known and most frequented for its pristine 3km (2mi) stretch called Mahabang Buhangin. Not nearly as distinguished as Boracay or Palawan, the islands of Calaguas remain unadulterated. Fancy accommodations are also not an option in Mahabang Buhangin, so it has become a popular camping ground for the adventurous islander. Surrounding rolling terrain and hiking trails also present a more active alternative to lying on the beach.

Matukad Island, Camarines Sur

Once hidden jewels, the islands around the Caramoan peninsula in Camarines Sur were brought into the limelight after being featured on several seasons of the long-running reality competition, Survivor. The show’s typical setting is rendered ‘remote’ and ‘isolated’, a look very much had by the Caramoan islands. One of these islands is Matukad, which boasts a gorgeous fine-sand beach, lush forest backdrop and hidden lagoon. The lagoon is obscured by a tall limestone cliff, that, when climbed, presents a superb view of the natural pool below. The waters are calm and clear, perfect for swimming, but pack some courage for the climb as the rock wall is steep and jagged, which many contend is also worth the view.

White Island, Camiguin

This bare island just off the coast of Camiguin’s capital is a favourite for more than just its accessibility. More a sandbar than an island, it is free of any trees or structures, save for a meagre shack that sells snacks and rents out umbrellas. What surrounds it, however, are exquisite views of the horizon and Mt Hibok-Hibok on the province’s main island. Because there is not much shade, it’s best to come early in the morning or late into the afternoon to avoid the day’s scorching hours. Try to chance upon either sunrise or sunset for an even more remarkable scene.

Kalanggaman Island, Leyte

While the luxurious island of Pamalican may sound divine, a trip here does end with quite the hefty bill. For those seeking out a tropical escape with a more feasible price tag, the country has a remarkable lineup of undeveloped virgin islands, too. One of these is Kalanggaman in Leyte. While the island itself isn’t all that large, two dazzling sandbars extend into the sea on either side. There are no hotels on the island, nor is there electricity – two enticing features to campers. There are basic facilities however, such as toilets and cottages for rent, so choosing to spend the night wouldn’t be too rough. Kalanggaman might not be the easiest to get to but its picturesque sandbar alone makes it a must for anyone travelling around the Visayas.

Apo Island, Negros Oriental

Apo is a unique one on the list because perhaps even more famous than the island itself are its surrounding waters. A protected marine reserve, the waters around Apo Island hold magnificent coral gardens and bustling marine life. Turtle sightings are especially commonplace even close to shore, making it an exciting site for both snorkelling and diving. There are also accommodation options on the island for those who want more time exploring its marine reserve than a day trip allows.

Malcapuya Island, Palawan

With El Nido and Coron crowning the island province, Northern Palawan is any beach lover’s utopia. Another of its islands worth a trip is Malcapuya, sitting between the municipalities of Coron and Culion. As you approach, it won’t seem like much but, as you’ll quickly find out, it’s only because you’ll be docking at its backside. This gives its exquisite powdery white sand beach unobstructed views and keeps its shores swimmer-friendly and free of boats.

Sabtang Island, Batanes

Journey an hour southwest of Batan and you reach the island of Sabtang. Here, Batanes showcases even more masterpieces of nature, like the Chamantad-Tinyan Viewpoint and Nakabuang stone arch on Morong Beach. But an impressive man-made treasure that also renders this island worth a visit is the traditional Ivatan house, built to withstand the tempestuous weather the province sees, due to its geographic location.

Cresta de Gallo Island, Romblon

Near the centre of the Philippine archipelago is a small untouched paradise that still flies below the tourist radar, leaving it in its pure, spotless state. It also helps that it isn’t the easiest to get to and that there is virtually nothing on the island except for whatever nature bestowed. Anyone who decides to make the trip must have all necessities in tow, from water and food to camping gear. But for the trouble, they’ll also very likely have this precious island all to themselves.

Siquijor Island

Just east of Camiguin is the mystical island of Siquijor. Despite being wrapped in folklore and tales of witchcraft, this island is much more than its age-old legends. White sand beaches and marine sanctuaries with splendid diving spots abound but the star of the island is Cambugahay Falls, a series of gently cascading waterfalls that form a number of enchanting turquoise pools. Surrounded by lush green rainforest and dotted with wooden rafts, it looks like it could have been designed for a luxury waterpark – we’re talking honeymoon-photos gorgeous.

There's more island's in the Philippines that can surely catch your attention. You can freely visit the websites containing another wondrous places, tourist spot and islands in the Philippines.

DRINKING ETIQUETTE

1. Be Pleasant

For many people, drinking alcohol is nothing more than a pleasant way to relax. People with alcohol use disorders, however, drink to excess, endangering both themselves and others.

2. Drink in Moderation

To reduce the risk of alcohol-related harms, the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults of legal drinking age can choose not to drink, or to drink in moderation by limiting intake to 2 drinks or less in a day for men or 1 drink or less in a day for women, on days when alcohol is consumed.

3. Drink Slowly



“Slow Drinking” is a way for people take a relaxed approach to consuming alcohol. This means being smart and keeping the situation pleasant by drinking in moderation while enjoying good food and conversation with others.

4. Do not mix drinks

Drinks that contain high quantities of congeners may increase hangover symptoms. Clear beverages like vodka, gin, and white wine contain less congeners than darker drinks like brandy, whisky, rum, and red wine. Mixing the congeners may increase stomach irritation.

5. Drink Coffee for Hungover

Currently, there is no cure for a hangover, and consuming coffee is unlikely to provide much, if any, relief. Similar to alcohol, caffeine, which is present in coffee, is a diuretic. Therefore, it may further dehydrate the body, potentially prolonging or worsening certain symptoms of a hangover.

6. Call I a day when you have enough

Drinking alcohol can be more harmful for some people. The safest option for children and young people under 18 is not to drink any alcohol at all. It's also best to avoid alcohol if you're taking any medicines or recreational drugs since when mixed with alcohol, they can have an unpleasant effect.

CULTURE

1. North Korea 🇰🇵

Kim Il Sung Birthday Celebration

The Day of the Sun (Korean: 태양절; MR: T'aeyang-jŏl) is an annual public holiday in North Korea on 15 April, the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, founder and Eternal President of North Korea. It is the most important national holiday in the country, and is considered to be the North Korean equivalent of Christmas

The hanbok (in South Korea) or Chosŏn-ot (in North Korea) is the traditional Korean clothes. The term "hanbok" literally means "Korean clothing". The hanbok can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms of Korea period (1st century BC–7th century AD), with roots in the peoples of what is now northern Korea and Manchuria.

Korean, known in the language itself as Kugo, is the language of the Korean Peninsula in northeast Asia. In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

North Korea is home to more than 25 million people, who live under a form of communist rule, which strictly controls all areas of daily life. People have to ask permission to travel around and it's difficult for visitors to enter the country too.

Like Korean music in general, North Korean music includes kinds of both folk and classical, courtly music, including genres like sanjo, pansori, and nongak.

In North Korea Cuisine, some dishes vary in flavor compared to South Korean versions, with some North Korean dishes being less spicy and more varied in composition compared to South Korean preparations.

Based on estimates from the late 1990s and the 2000s, North Korea is mostly irreligious, with the main religions being Korean shamanism and Chondoism. There are small communities of Buddhists and Christians.

2. Libya 🇱🇾



Acacus Festival

Held annually between December and January in Libya, this unique event takes place amongst the spectacular scenery of the Jebel Acucus basalt monoliths in the heart of the Sahara.

Libya Clothing. Girls commonly wear brightly colored dresses, and boys wear jeans and shirts. Young men and women wear predominantly modern clothing, but most women continue to cover their hair in keeping with Islamic tradition.

The official language in Libya is Arabic. Arabic is written in a standard form throughout the Arab world.

It is important for Libyans to maintain the dignity, honour and a good reputation of their families through their own conduct.

Various kinds of Arab music are popular in Libya such as Andalusi music, locally known as Ma'luf, Chabi and Arab classical music.

Libyan cuisine derives much from the traditions of Mediterranean, North African, and Berber cuisines.

Sunni Muslims represent between 90 and 95 percent of the population, Ibadi Muslims account for between 4.5 and 6 percent, and the remainder includes small communities of Christians, Hindus, Baha'is, Ahmadi Muslims, and Buddhists.

3. Canada 🇨🇦



Beaver tails

One of Canadian's tradition. Do not be alarmed — Canadians do not eat tails of actual beavers. In Canada, beaver tails are giant, deep-fried sweet delicacies

Canadian's wear parkas, long john's (an undergarment, basically long underwear), ear muffs, scarves, gloves, mittens, tuques (woolen caps), various jackets made of linen and leather, leggings, ojibwa shirts, trousers, and moccasins. These are unisex clothes, good for both men and women.

Canada has two official languages: French and English. The majority of most Canadians speak English, while almost all French-speakers live in the province of Quebec.

In general, Canadians are more reserved and polite than Americans, and take matters of etiquette a little more seriously. Shake hands and introduce yourself when meeting Canadians for the first time.

Based on national statistics and a nation-wide survey, the most popular music genre in Canada is alternative rock followed by folk, pop, rock, rap, country, blues, adult contemporary, world music, and then other music.

Poutine: One of the most staple Canadian dishes originating from French, and this dish is the perfect representative of Canadian cuisine.

In Canada the principal religion is Christianity; as recently as the 1971 census, almost 90 per cent of the population claimed adherence.

4. Argentina 🇦🇷

The Argentine Tango is probably the most famous of all of our traditions. It originates from the streets of Buenos Aires in the 19th Century – where African, Caribbean and European heritage fused to create a new dance.

Argentines tend to dress up more than the average American. Young men wear jeans and t-shirts or soccer jerseys, but you'll also see men wearing nice pants and shoes. Women generally wear very feminine clothing.

While Argentina's official language is Spanish, Argentina has enjoyed so much international migration that Arabic, Italian, German, English, and French are also spoken—at least in pockets throughout the country.

Argentines are generally friendly and hospitable to those they meet. Although many Argentines are focused on building strong communities, a strain of individualism is also prevalent in the country.

Argentines typical music are carnavalito, cumbia, candombe, polka, media cana, rasquido doble, and of course tango which has managed to capture the worldwide attention in the second half of 20th century.

Argentinian food is heavy on meat dishes. Argentina is known for its beef but there's so much more to Argentine cuisine than just asado.

About four-fifths of Argentine people are at least nominally Roman Catholic; the majority of them are nonpracticing.

5. New Zealand 🇳🇿

Every year since 1985, the community celebrates Gumboot Day — a fun-filled family event that includes the town’s famed gumboot throwing contest. The iconic festival is held on the Tuesday after Easter.

New Zealanders wear modern Western-style clothing. They prefer to dress casually.

English and Te Reo Māori are the most widely spoken languages in New Zealand.

New Zealanders can be somewhat reserved, especially with people they do not know. Once they develop a personal relationship, they are friendly, outgoing and social.

New Zealand music has Western and Polynesian influences with popular genres being jazz, blues, country, rock and hip hop.



Similar to the cuisine of Australia, the cuisine of New Zealand is a diverse British-based cuisine, with Mediterranean and Pacific Rim influences as the country becomes more cosmopolitan.

New Zealand's religion is nominally Christian, with Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian denominations being the largest.

6. Greece 🇬🇷



First Day of the Month

Kalo Mina (good month) is a traditional greeting you will hear on the first day of the month. Important to Greek culture, the first day of the month symbolizes a new beginning. Greeks greet each other to wish good things for the month ahead.

Today loose-fitting white cotton or silk shirts are worn, together with embroidered vests and jackets are the greeks clothing. Women use long chemises and skirts, men still wear vraka and foustanella

The vast majority of the 10.7m population of Greece speak Greek, which is the country's official language.

Greek society is noted for its strong family structure and a low crime rate.



Contemporary laïkó (σύγχρονο λαϊκό), also called modern laïkó, is currently Greece's mainstream music genre.

Like other Mediterranean cuisines, Greek food has a reputation for being heart healthy with its heavy use of olive oil, fish, lean meats, vegetables, herbs and grain, although some dishes can be quite rich, like the classic moussaka.

Greece is officially a secular state. However, its religious and social landscape is deeply influenced by the Greek Orthodox Church

7. Sydney Australia 🇦🇺



Sydney is lucky enough to be home to one of Australia’s most famous events, the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Mardi is the French word for Tuesday, and gras means “fat.” In France, the day before Ash Wednesday came to be known as Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday.”

Aussies who call this region home live in shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and flip-flops (we call them “thongs”).

Though Australia has no official language, English is regarded as the de facto national language.

Australians are generally not formal, so greetings, even initial greetings, are casual and laid back.

In 2015, the most popular genres of music in Australia by sales were rock and pop. Combined, these genres accounted for 76.13 percent of all sales

Modern Australian cuisine means fusion cuisine. Its focus is on the use of natural and native ingredients, ethical sourcing and bridging communication between Indigenous and non-Indigenous foodies.

The 2011 Census most common responses were Catholic, (28.3%), Anglican (14.7%), Islam (5.3%) and Eastern Orthodox (4.6%). 17.5% declared no religion.

REFLECTION ON CULTURE

The culture matters as it is the soul of our identity. We will be known because of our culture. It is the reason why people being united.

Culture is an important part of people's lives. I have learned that it affects your views, your values, your mood, your hopes, your loyalty, and your worries and fears. I have learned also that culture makes people different and alike. When you live in the same country or state, you will have the same beliefs, traditions and perspective about your beginning. While on the other hand, if you live in different country or state, you would experience culture shock as you have different culture. People became different and alike depending on the culture they have.

The Tapis of the Kalinga Tribe

Art is a part of everyday life in the Central Cordillera. Women weave in the Kalinga town of Lubuagan to earn a living for their family. Weaving is a Kalinga tradition that has been passed down through the years. At the age of ten, girls begin weaving. Men are also involved in the creation of the craft.

On woven products, many groups share similar techniques, motifs, and color schemes. Kalinga dress is distinct from other ethnic groups, particularly the women's wraparound skirts. In Tagalog, this form of wraparound skirt is called as "Tapis," while in Kalinga, it is known as "Kain."

Pilakpak, ilaglis, silugwid, and gilamat are some of the numerous design variations of the Kain. Rituals, festivals, marriages, and other special occasions are all occasions when the garments are worn

This is a rectangle cloth that has been woven on back strap body tension looms, embroidered with nature-inspired motifs, and adorned with beads and mother of pearl shells. Shells are connected in such a way that they move and reflect light. The design patterns and symbols are influenced by natural elements such as animals, mountains, and stars.

Colors and patterns have unique connotations. The color red, for example, indicates boldness, while the black-strepe prints depict Earth or the ground. Because yellow is the color of fertility and riches, it is utilized to embroider mountain motifs.

Weavers take great care not to change their designs or color choices for their woven products. It is a method for them to preserve their culture and customs while also demonstrating the uniqueness of Kalinga's woven handicrafts.

ELEMENTS OF CREATION

- Haney Serenio

Humans are wired to be curious about the unknown and to seek answers. A creation myth recounts how the world's wonders came to be and can be found in practically every society. A creation myth is a story that explains the origins of the world, the creation of humans, and the relationship between a god or gods and humans. These creations have a significant impact on people's perceptions. They have an impact on people's perceptions of the world and their position in regard to it.

COMMON ELEMENTS

The first of these elements is the idea of creation as a kind of birth often from an egg. The egg especially stands out in the creation myths of early Chinese Daoists, who told the story of a great cosmic egg from which the god Pangu emerged when the shell split. The top half of the shell became the sky, and the bottom half became Earth.

The second common theme found in creation myths is the concept that the universe has both a father and a mother.The mother and father are not always the figures which create life on earth.

The third element of creation myth is the notion of a supreme being. A supreme being appears in almost every myth. He or she is what triggers the train of events that create the world. Sometimes there are two beings, a passive and active creator.

Another element that runs through the world's creation myths is the question of whether creation took place from above or below. Not all cultures imagine life starting on earth . Some believe that it originated either above or below where we live now.

Still other myths claim the earth was once covered with water and the earth was brought to the surface. It sees creation as somehow having been pulled out from chaos or muck and these are called diver myths.

CONCLUSION

All these creation and foundational myths represent an effort on the part of the cultures that produce them to find a link between the present and the past, including the past of their ancestors. It is a part of being human for people to question where they came from and where they are going. Creation and foundational myths attempt to answer these questions in ways that reflect the cultural realities of a people at a given time and in a given place. Even science shares this wonder. We continue to wonder. Even now, as the 21st century approaches we continue to make theories on how earth was created. They are our new creation myths. We base our ideas on scientific evidence. However the creation myths were based on what people saw their observations.

DID YOU KNOW?

Trial by ordeal was an ancient judicial practice by which the guilt or innocence of the accused was determined by subjecting them to a painful, or at least an unpleasant, usually dangerous experience. In medieval Europe, like trial by combat, trial by ordeal, such as cruentation, was considered a "judgement of God" (Latin: judicium Dei): a procedure based on the premise that God would help the innocent by performing a miracle on his behalf. The practice has much earlier roots, attested to as far back as the Code of Hammurabi and the Code of Ur-Nammu.

In pre-modern society, the ordeal typically ranked along with the oath and witness accounts as the central means by which to reach a judicial verdict. Indeed, the term ordeal, Old English ordǣl, has the meaning of "judgment, verdict" (German Urteil, Dutch oordeel), from Proto-Germanic *uzdailiją "that which is dealt out".

credits: Trial by ordeal - Wikipedia

Example in this Picture: nakikita niyo po nandito ang accused, kasi noon wala pa pong court to give the accused a trial about the crime charge against him, sa Trial by ordeal naman po para malaman nila kung nagkasala ang isang tawo marami silang method isa po dito ang Boiling Water, ilalagay ang kamay mo sa kumukulo na tubig, kapag raw inocente ka hindi ka raw masusugatan dahil prinoprotektahan ka ng Diyos, pero kapag naman po nasugatan ka at napaso ibig sabihin ikaw ang gumawa ng krimen at maaari kang ibitay..

Pope Francis will mark 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines with a Holy Mass on Sunday in St. Peter’s Basilica. Due to the pandemic, only a limited number of faithful will be allowed at the 10 am (Rome time) Mass on 14 March.

The Christian faith that arrived in the Philippines 500 years ago, is very much alive today in the joyful witness to evangelical charity by Catholics, even in hard times, says Archbishop Romulo Valles of Davao, the president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). The Philippine Church has been preparing for this great jubilee celebration for 9 years, with each year having a specific theme.

It all began when the great 16th-century Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, who led a Spanish expedition to the so-called ‘East Indies’, 1519 to 1522, reached what is today known as the Philippines on 16 March 1521. His sailors had planned to remain there for a month and a half. It is believed that during that time, the first Mass was celebrated on Filipino soil on March 31, 1521, on the island of Limasawa, south of Leyte. Some 800 were baptized to form the first Catholic community.

Alex Tizon's narrative "My Family's Slave" is a heartwarming and enlightening story that one should read at least once during his life. He was a well-known Filipino-American author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who specialized in creative nonfiction. This narrative tackles the rocky life of Eudocia Tomas Pulido, a Filipino lady known as "Lola" in the hands of the author's family, who stayed with them for 64 years as a slave who was always unpaid, yet in the end, Alex paid back to her as he realized how she successfully raised three generation after generation of their family. As I read this, I vividly imagined all of the events and completely visualized the situations and feelings upon it. My different emotions arose as I encounter this text.

Evidently, the theme of the story is about the unconditional love and concern a 'katulong' or slave could give to his masters despite of some hardships, and the remarkable worth it could forever leave even in one of the family members.

Human servitude, as we all know, is a contemporary affliction that is sometimes veiled or rationalized as cultural norm. However, Alex demonstrated in this story how we must understand, respect, and accept them as human beings and provide them with the things they deserve after all those pity sacrifices and lifelong dedication of serving them.

In terms of the story's format, I'd say it's a creative non-fiction piece because Alex, the author, was always present and active throughout the work, both on the pages and behind the scenes. As we can see, he possesses a sense of self-awareness and self-motivation. Furthermore, as he retells the event, we can see how he used both the memoir form and personal essays to convey it, and he didn't just offer pithy quips. But rather, he used craft and strategies to immerse us, the reader, in his own personal life. The author also made used of descriptive languages to elicit responses from our senses. He also utilized the braiding approach to entangle the data and some of his insights. And mesages were resented vividly like we shouldn't underestimate slaves, instead, we must let them feel the love and freedom they also deserve.

Indeed, there's no doubt why this narrative became one of his most famous publications just days after his death because it exhibited good form, tactics, and topics of actual Filipina experiences, particularly slaves in our country. The unconditional love that a Filipino family has for its members, even if they are not biologically related, was also communicated. Despite the fact that it is a bit long, I certainly believe that it is absolutely worthwhile to read.
