Ma'am Janilid's father told her that being a teacher will surely give her benefits like having a stable job. His father's dream for her is the reason to her choice about being a teacher despite being against to it. she till pursued it and became a teacher that she is today. Maybe, she is really destined for that job. It is not her choice yet, doing her job had a huge impact into her life and also to her siblings.

Her sacrifices, hard work and selflessness are the reasons that brought her siblings a great future. She supported them in terms of financial responsibilitiess.

“City of Pines” 🌲

Many of us are looking for a unique place to visit, a place where you can enjoy the best, and one of the places I'm referring to is Baguio City or also called  City of Pines. Baguio is one of the most popular places in the Philippines especially in the Northern Luzon area because it is located here, and from Dagupan City you will spend two to three hours drive depending on the speed of your vehicle.

Baguio City was made "Summer Capital" on June 1, 1903 by the Philippine Commission and was declared the city of the Philippine Assembly on September 1, 1909. the name Baguio was derived from the word Ibaloi that the meaning 'moss'. Approximately 1500 meters (5100 ft) tall is the city's height corresponding to the growth and multiplication of pine trees and flowering plants.

of my reasons is that Baguio's list of tourists and tourists is missing from their list of places because of its widespread climate, summer or rainy days, most of us like this one.

Baguio City is not just popular because of its climate, it is also popular because you will find different sights like Burnham Park, you will be entertained even if you are only walking because you can also ride a bicycle here.

And if you're at Burnham Park, there are also other parks that can be booked, but it's just a little far away. The Mines View Park, also known as the park, is not only spacious but one that I can say is proud of this park is its breathtaking view and height. Here you can see the mountains from below, you can also pinpoint dogs, horses, and older Igorot where you can take pictures with them. Here you will see that they are not ashamed of where they came from their dress. There are also many souvenirs here that are mostly made of wood.

The Mansion

The Mansion is located in the eastern part of the city, where the first meeting of the South East Asian Nation Union is held or is also known as the Baguio Conference of 1950. You can post it or go before the Mines View Park, . The mansion is surrounded by a huge garden and huge trees.

 Baguio Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden, also known as Igorot Village, is located in the eastern part of the city, close to Teache's Camp. The Botanical Garden is spacious so be careful that you get lost.

Baguio Catholic Cathedral

Baguio Catholic Cathedral is also located in the heart of Baguio City and is one of the most famous cities in the world. There are also many stories of wonders here, there are nuns who show every day and voices that you do not know where it comes from. According to my research, many died here and Baguio City Cathedral 945 was evacuated.

LION'S HEAD                                               

 The Lion's Head you will find when you are passing through Kennon Road, it is 40ft tall. Many say Tripto Baguio is incomplete when you do not see or have not taken a picture of Lion's Head.  

PUBLIC MARKET

Before you go home, this is another one that you should not forget, the sightseeing and buying in Baguio Public Market, here you will find newly picked and fresh vegetables and fruits. And at night it is still possible to shop in the "night market" until dawn, here you can buy clothes, shoes and so on.  And before I forget, what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Baguio City? And your Baguio Trip is not complete when you do not have this to take home. Answer? Of course Strawberry !! The Strawberry is famous in Baguio but its farm is not really in Baguio. The plant is located in La Trinidad, Benguet, near Benguet State University, where you can enjoy the delicious Strawberry also called Preyas.So let's take a trip to one of our nation's pride, Baguio City.

K-pop. It’s now a word that has spread around the globe. It is an industry that jumped to a worth of over billions of dollars in less than a few decades. Due to its sudden growth, the k-pop industry was given a new nickname: “Hallyu’” derived from the word ‘Hollywood’.

Korean dramas or Koreanovelas have become regulars of Filipino primetime TV.                     The first Korean-drama aired in the Philippines was Bright Girl; it was followed by more famous shows – Descendants of the Sun, Love in the Moonlight, and My Sassy Girl are just three of the many K-dramas that stole the country’s heart. The Asian drama trend in the Philippines began with the airing of Taiwanese show Meteor Garden in 2003. But it was Korean series that eventually overtook the airwaves. But why?

“Pig in a Poke“ and “Cash Cow“ by Dan Raralio 🖊

[annamarietorio-blog]

Dan Raralio 📝

Raralio was born on 1961 in Manila, Philippines and from his student days at the University of the Philippines, College of Fine Arts, Dan Raralio has shown himself to be a multifaceted artist with a universal appeal. He is in turn witty, comic, serious or all these together. He is also both sculptor and painter. His artistic style is enriched by many sources: classical, cubist, surrealist, formalist, postmodern. Though these are mainly Western sources, an oriental strain comes in with some origami constructions and Zen-derived minimalism. His works combine the cerebral and the emotional, but always in an unceasing pursuit of beauty, whether in classical forms or in postmodern articulations — sculptures posing riddles to the mind in endless hours of fascination.

Girl Scout Backyard Camping ⛺

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. And as a Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Girls grow courageous and strong through a wide variety of enriching experiences, such as skill-building sports clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships.

Girl Scouts helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.

So when I heard  that we are going to have  a backyard camping I feel excitement and at the same time boredom because the venue is only in our school, But I proved me wrong because I learned many things such as listening to the opinions of the younger ones,  how to apply first aid for those in need, group activities like making a box or something that protect the egg so it will not break , if we drop it  from the third floor, after that we played slippers in a rope (I don’t know what the game is)  and even if we lose we still smiling because we enjoyed and that was the number one important in a game or contest.  And Lastly, the activity that I will never be forget is when we cooked with charcoal and wood, so we have food to eat.

And in my last year, I could say that it's one of the happiest things that I experienced I school,so thank you Sags for the memories!

The Help: Movie Analysis Paper🎥

The Help , is both an award winning novel and film based on the relationship between those within the white southern community of Mississippi and their help, the African American women employed as slaves by these families. Set during the 1960’s, The Help focuses on a white aspiring journalist named Skeeter, who returns from college to cross the boundaries of both cultures by documenting the voice, opinions, and experiences of the help. These actions taken by Skeeter, who is from one of the prominent white families in the state of Mississippi, upset the other families in the area who began speaking against Skeeters project and not allowing their maids to speak with Skeeter or even threatening them if they did. However, all in all, 13 maids accepted to be interviewed by Skeeter, and their stories tell the truth about what is was like to be a maid for the white women and families in the south during the civil-rights era. When Skeeter begins to interview the maids in the town, the white community, especially the mothers and women of the households, become angry that Skeeter would want to talk to their help. This shows the cultural boundaries that existed between the white and blacks of the south during the 1960’s. The white women’s true values were different than the values they portrayed to others, and those who worked for them, the maids, knew the truth about them. The white mothers of the community became afraid that what really went on under their roof, not what they told their friends and others around the community.

 Spurred by Hilly's cruel and racist initiatives, the maids of Jackson Mississippi share their stories with Skeeter. Concerned that people will recognize themselves in the book, Minny adds a dark secret about Hilly to the book so that Hilly will stay quiet about the identity of the maids. The book is a surprise hit, generating a great deal of discussion between black and white women. After the success of the novel, Skeeter moves to New York to work in publishing. Aibileen is fired from her job and embarks on a writing career of her own, and Minny leaves her abusive husband. And The story line was very moving, and the acting excellent. Though not a true story, it has a strong sense of realism. While not everyone walked in perfect Christ-likeness, it did depict people of faith striving to live in a way that honored  God. I would recommend this movie to any adult.

My hometown 🏡

Dagupan's trademark is The Bangus Festival, an annual celebration in the city of Dagupan. It highlights the city’s rich milk fish aquaculture industry in the province of Pangasinan and in the country. 17 years of existence, my life revolves here at Dagupan, the place where I grew up. Since I became in Grade School, I sarted to represent The City of Dagupan in R1AA or Region 1 Athletic Association, because of that I developed my self discipline and became a good student athlete during my elementary and junior high school days that I will apply it to myself until now. These days, many changes came in Dagupan city, like having traffic light on street, new rules and policies implemented and I would say that it is all worth it because I've seen Dagupan improvements and Now, we call it "Balon Dagupan".

Do not go gentle into that good night 💫 Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Learning or in education are all equal,we all have the right to be educated even if some of us have disabilities. Our potentials and talents that was given by our Almighty Lord needs to b shown. It doesn't matter how big or small you are. Education does not measure ones physical approaches but on how will apply all the things you've learned to yourself and also to your society. Think carefully before you speak with knowledge and wisdom,then apply/adopt it to yourself to be a better or good person ,specially to students nowadays. Allow yourself to be a part of organizations or enjoy all the knowledge you learn that you received everyday. Everyone is experiencing problems, sufferings, but always remember that no one could take the wisdom and knowledge you have.

Sonnet 138 by: William Shakespeare When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies, That she might think me some untutored youth, Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties. Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Although she knows my days are past the best, Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue: On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed. But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old? Oh, love’s best habit is in seeming trust, And age in love loves not to have years told. Therefore I lie with her and she with me, And in our faults by lies we flattered be.
