All About TAGS! (not the price tags though)
You might have been wondering how my second quarter has been working out for me. If I were to describe how was it, I'd say it was as bumpy as the road, as wavy as the ocean, but it was also as fun as the beam of the early sunlight hitting my skin. Actually, there was only this certain topic that circulates the whole second quarter of ICT— HTML tags. Never in my life did I imagine myself encountering those things: Notepad, many exers, and bunches of tags; not price tags, but HTML Tags. But yeah, tags happened.
I have learned so many things about HTML and the HTML tags. First, HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Its basic function is to structure a web page and its content. Inside an HTML file lies many tags used to convert HTML documents into web pages. Each tag contains angle brackets (<>), and there are two types of tags: stand-alone tag and paired tags. Stand alone tags are those that don't need another tag to stop their functions. They are used to place standalone elements in the document. On the other hand, the paired tags are those that have opening tags and closing tags. Their closing tags have slash symbol (/) as it indicates that the function stops there.
These tags are very important because a web creator won't be able to create interesting webpages if none of the tags exist. There are tags that are compatible in fixing information, making the headings of a document, and making multimedia, photos and videos included in an HTML file. They give the best help in organizing and designing elements.
In understanding the importance of HTML Basic Tags, this quarter gave me the opportunity to try some of them. I have made various exercises that associates with the uses and definitions of each tags. To further explain it, I have learned how to use different tags in each of my exers according to their functions, such as using the following:
<html></html> to define the start and end of an HTML file.
<head></head> states that a heading is created.
<br>, a stand-alone tag that is used to breaks line.
<title></title> is used to define the title of the page.
<body></body>, which contains the content of the whole page.
<p></p>, which defines a paragraph.
<b></b>, to make the text darker
<i></i>, italicizes words
<u></u>, creates an underline for the text
<em></em> that emphasizes the text
<sup></sup>, creates superscript text
<sub></sub>, contrast to superscript, it creates subscript
<hr></hr> this creates horizontal line
There are still many tags that I have used, but listing them down here would consume all my time, so I'm ending my list there.
To conclude, HTML Basic Tags gave me something that I could remember forever since it is really essential in creating such webpages. I have come to conclude how these tags are important in the production of effective and well-designed webpages. I am looking forward to nurture these knowledge that I have gained again by applying these in future programs and projects that I will hold. I do hope that these knowledge will have the best impact on my abilities in manipulating the mouse and the desktop for whatever's waiting for me in the future.
Aside from those tags that I have learned, there are also variety of life lessons that I have gained again. I actually find it funny because every quarter, I gain new life lessons as if they are also under the curriculum. They get deeper and deeper as time goes by. Their meanings get more serious and sincere as I meet them. I could even cry learning those life lessons.
I admit, quarter 2 wasn't the "okay this quarter will be better for me" mood as to what I expected it to be. Many sleepless nights became my buddies as I finish piles of homeworks and school works. It was tough for someone like me, who was busy preparing herself to face the next quarters and the Senior High Level. Just like to my previous reflection, I have realized many things that I didn't know I'd need to know.
First is that I realized I didn't have to blame myself for not doing enough. Actually, I have been doing enough. My friends know that, my adviser knows that, and I know that. It's just that sometimes, I feel like everything that I do is still not enough for me. Of course I get satisfied sometimes because I have gained such high scores, but I feel this emptiness inside me, telling that I should have gotten the perfect score. I do everything to gain that but still everything that I do remain not enough, or at least remain not enough for what I am expecting from myself. At the end of this quarter, I have realized that no matter how hard I try, even though I am expecting for the best, if it's not for me, then it's not. I realized that I don't have to force things to work for me anymore because maybe something bigger is waiting for me out there.
Also, socially speaking, there have been a lot going on with my friends. It's undeniable that situations really change a person. Situations show a person's real colors. I realized that some people just come and go. It doesn't matter how long they stay if they choose to leave. I also learned that not everyone who smiles with you is really with you. Sometimes, they get along with you because they lack of something that they want and you have it, and to get it, they pretend they are with you. Not everyone that you are going to meet and talk to, is going to be your buddy forever. People choose to leave because they feel like they need to leave the table that's not even welcoming them. Ah, I have so many things that I have learned when it comes to socializing. I even learnt that your real friends won't talk behind your back when things get tough. If they do, then they were never your friend to start with. And the pain that has left with you will always remain if you keep on holding onto them. They are not worthy if they make you sad at night. The only way to free yourself from the pain is letting go.

And lastly, this might be the most usual thing that I have been saying, but I'll say it anyway. As you know, my friends, Hessah, Bryle, Ghrant, Jared, El Jhay, Zhairee, Claire, and Jievan, are grades-conscious like me. It's like our circle is made up of bunches of smarty kids but still won't appreciate the achievements they have been reaching. We even have this favorite line, "Kung di papalarin maging Doctor, edi babagsak bilang baslamador." which I find so funny. It's not like we all dream to be doctors. It's just that we find the process of reaching our dreams so exhausting. We even think if we deserve to be this tired at this age, as if we're already adults working on a job. Little do we know that our efforts are being seen. They are being appreciated by the people that's around us. We didn't have to keep ourselves stressed and exhausted just to prove that we can be as good as the best student in class.
And now that the quarter's ending again, I do hope that all the lessons will bring me closer to what I have been craving for, to what I have been designing, to what I have been carving in my mind, to my dreams. I do hope that someday, our favorite line will be replaced with, "Hindi to katas ng kapalaran, katas to ng kasipagan at pananalig sa Kanya. We did it, Egays."
Yeah, the name of our circle is Egay. It's from the name of the typhoon that hit the country last year. And we're Egays. We build the circle.
And it will never be a circle if there's a missing arc.
