    In my perspectives, it'd look better if you added photos of Vigan in its' current state.

My Journey

    So who am I? , I'm an ordinary high school boy who's recently been transferred to ISNHS, a former student of PSHS IRC. I'm Herlecester R. Ricablanca, you can call me whatever you like but I prefer the name Lester. I'm 15 years old and a current student of 10-Rizal. Recently I'm talking a hard time adjusting and making new friends and getting along with my teachers because of the new environment. It's hard for me to get along with them because I just recently got to know them and due to that I'm a transferee, though I came from an advance school, they still try to treat me as their fellow classmate since the very start up until to this point, and I'm very thankful for that.     With that said I'm hoping to get along with them for the rest of my junior high experience. So now let's talk more about my strengths and hobbies, to be honest I'm particularly not that good in math due to my poor memorization and my poor understanding in computatio...

They are truly important and I should reflect on why. From the simple tag `<p>` for paragraphs and down the complexities of tag `<div>` for containers, every tag has a specific role in the whole page functionality and presentation.

 As I reflect on Quarter 3, I realize how much I've learned and discovered, particularly in the realm of programming and data structures. One of the most significant takeaways for me has been the deeper understanding of CBR (Case-Based Reasoning) , OL (Object-Oriented Learning) , and the concept of nested lists . Learning and Discoveries: Through studying CBR , I discovered how problem-solving can be approached by leveraging past experiences and cases, mimicking how humans solve problems. This concept helped me see the power of using historical data to predict and solve new problems. In the realm of Object-Oriented Learning (OL) , I grasped the importance of objects, classes, inheritance, and encapsulation in organizing and managing code in a more efficient way. This was a big leap in making my programming skills more structured and easier to understand. When it came to nested lists , I learned how to organize complex data within lists, allowing me to handle multi-dimensional data ...
