Empowered Women: Better Community

   

Two Out of Four Already!

Just how fast the time passes by. It feels like a while ago entering second quarter with anxiety that I will not make through the end. But a period out of four has finished already. With the topics presented, surely I gained a lot of knowledge. Also, my patience is getting better in dealing with things. Due in typing HTML files and creating blogs. As well as in learning further information and enlightenment about certain subjects I have existing understanding.

Apparently along the way, I came across with quite a few challenges. Merely because no one is faultless, and it requires enough attempts to succeed in your goal. First among the troubles is not typing the right tags in the HTML files, the output didn't turn out the way it is supposed to be. In writing blogs, I had difficulty in coming up with the titles. And I still procrastinate. Although we are already halfway through the school year. I still tend to not have time management. Dealing with my anxiety also made it inconvenient for me to cope up.

Addressing these challenges, I sought help with my classmates who have mastered our lessons and with the guidance of our teacher. I did a bunch of research to conquer these. As much as I want things to be swifted, they just don't. Change is a process as they say. And overcoming difficulties should always be partnered with self-confidence and patience. Just recently I started to practice a better routine than usual.

Moving on, I will take with me the knowledge from the learnings and leave the unnecessary matters and habits that hinder to be a better person. I will continue to work in improving myself to lessen the said difficulties. I will make sure to use my time efficiently too. And to do utmost in each of things that I will encounter.

Manifest Thy Love

"Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold."

–Zelda Fitzgerald

As celebrated annually around the world, Valentine's Day on the 14th day of February. Valentine is a masculine name. He is a martyr Christian that was killed. He is also a saint in Rome on 3rd Century A.D. Yet the cause of his death is still mysterious. Why was he killed? Is Valentine's Day really about love or at least has a connection to it? I guess we will never know.

Rather I term it as Heart's Day.  Love unconsciously make us ecstatic. Each person has different ways to love as well as to feel appreciated. This is called love language and there are five of this. First is words of affirmation, where one is build up through compliments and positive sentiments. Acts of service, expresses by doing things, it requires thoughts, time, and effort. Receiving gifts, but it doesn't mean that someone is materialistic, it's just the feeling of happiness that one senses when be given so. Quality time, wherein someone wants nothing but your time, it makes them feel comforted. And physical touch, it includes holding hands, hugging, etc. they feel more connected and safe this way.

An important reminder for everyone to keep in mind is that God is Love. In John 3:16, it states that, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Let's not forget the One who protects, sustain, and whom we will return our everlasting life.

Above all, keeping in touch with our loved ones makes us a better person overall. Having someone who inspires and motivates is important and key to a happier life. Learning the love language of people around helps in building a stronger relationship with them. Through this, we tend to have more quality connection with the society.
