Contemplation II

So now we've heard of web designs. We'll need a good familiarity with HTML and CSS.
The discussions we had in our second quarter offered us benefits. Soon we'll get to make our own web design!
That's good news, right? The topics we've learned will allow us to create a lean web design or web pages.

The tags. Yes, the tags!
Typing these doesn't make my life easier, but be convinced, this is simply an exciting introduction to making a good and responsive web design! For weeks, we have been discussed about Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), made experiment with tags, and of course, blog-writing. How about that?

Notepad. We've been using Notepad for the whole second quarter! I suppose it makes it easier for us to identify and to correct every line typed. Notepad looks so simple, I'm starting to use it often on my drafts at home. At first, tags were handwritten. I keep on saying "Damn these tags!" whenever I write them down, but it's a good experience.

I take pride and pleasure in my work, even though it looks bad. I am convinced with my mark. I think I deserve to have such a mark. I am not the type of person who gives up easily, so expect me to be as competitive as you are.

"The world should watch out for the new web developer with basic HTML tag knowledge."

This has been an awesome tagging-quarter in school, I won't ever get tired of it

Everyday Heroes


If someone asked me who the heroes I consider are, I definitely would not hesitate to include teachers, professors, and mentors.

Teachers lead busy lives. They have mountains of problems, but they appear to be relaxed. They don't just stand up, write on the board and discuss. They GUIDE. They feed and nurture us with topics along with their wily tactics. They guide the students sitting on the armchairs to the right path, to the path wherein they would also have to lead. Lead to success.

Why are teachers heroes? Not all heroes wear some certain superhero suit. I say, "Anyone can be a hero," and in my perspective, HEROES should be just and hard-working. Teachers have met this criterion. They work for hours in a day; I can call them martyrs in this case, but they are too dedicated to give up.

One thing's sure and nothing's surer:
Teachers are heroes.

This is not a note, nor is it a report. Even if it happens to turn into one of those, I will be happy. I hate to use such a platitudinous line, but I imagine that by the time anyone lays eyes on these words, I hope they realize that these people should be thanked. I hardly need to remind the reader about the epic battle of the minds. The instrument of teachers is their own mind. Their own perspective;  pathetically mature way of thinking. Looking back, I can only surmise that the gods of victory always smile down on professors. Perhaps they actually wanted a perfect world of tactics and wits. Perhaps they will know that teachers can be way superior than senators or presidents. Who knows? I, for one, have no intention of wasting any more time thinking about this most negative series of events.


Teachers. Their enthusiasm for education never fades and is so infectious. They are extremely encouraging and they make us realize how rewarding teaching is. Indeed they are inspiring. Their passion for teaching is shown every time they speak. To end this post, I'd like to thank them.
