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.

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.

Ellen’s scientific temperament is just the contrast picture as a person who is a glamorous fashion model, film actor, singer, orchestra personality, and lyricist.

Ellen Alexander is currently expanding the realms of her firm “Create u future,” which she co-founded with her buddy, after leaving a global mark in the fields of fashion modeling, anti-aging techniques, and entrepreneurship.

Ellen was born in Moscow to a family of scientists, and her scientific background inspired her to explore specific biotech and genetic cum fertility initiatives that would make individuals seem younger by using scientific methods to slow down the aging process.

This is a high-tech branch of genetic science that aims to help people live longer, stay healthy, and appear younger than their actual age. It will also let older couples to have biological children of their own.

The contrast picture of Ellen as a dazzling fashion model, film actor, singer, orchestra personality, and songwriter is what surprises us against the backdrop of Ellen’s scientific temperament.

В Казани сотрудники спецподразделений Росгвардии провели показательное занятие для студентов юридического института

Сотрудники казанского ОМОН и СОБР Управления Росгвардии по Республике Татарстан организовали экскурсию и выездное занятие для студентов казанского филиала Всероссийского государственного университета юстиции.

В преддверии празднования Дня Победы в расположении ОМОН «Ак Барс» Управления Росгвардии по РТ состоялось выездное военно-патриотическое занятие для студентов казанского филиала Всероссийского государственного университета юстиции. В проведении занятий приняли участие также сотрудники СОБР «Тимер Батыр» и кинологи МВД по Республике Татарстан. Будущие юристы, большинство из которых проходят обучение на кафедре уголовного процесса и криминалистики, задавали много вопросов и интересовались различными подробностями.

Студентам показали практическую работу кинологов с собаками при поиске запрещённых веществ, опасных предметов, а также при задержании преступников. Затем вниманию гостей представили выставку вооружения и специальной техники спецподразделения Росгвардии, подробно рассказали о назначении и особенностях каждого элемента экспозиции. Сотрудники СОБР продемонстрировали мастерство в высотной подготовке, выполнив эффектные спуски с 20-метрового здания.

«Для нас было очень важно провести выездные занятия именно в боевом подразделении Росгвардии, чтобы студенты лично пообщались с правоохранителями, которые стоят на переднем крае борьбы с преступностью и терроризмом», - отметил доцент кафедры уголовного процесса и криминалистики Газинур Хуснетдинов.

В завершение мероприятия с гостями провели патриотическую беседу и показали документальный фильм о войсках национальной гвардии Российской Федерации.

Военный оркестр казанского полка Росгвардии обеспечил музыкальное сопровождение Пасхального бала в столице Татарстана
