The CK Daily – A Week of Changes and a Weekend of Flowers
Yey, it’s Wednesday! How’s everyone doing? How was the start of DST for you? As for me, I’m still adjusting.
Aside from the change in time, many things here in my country have been changing rapidly due to the sudden increase in oil prices. Office workdays have been reduced to four days, and some private businesses are also planning to follow a work-from-home setup. Transport fares are expected to increase, and the sad thing I recently heard in the news is that some public vehicle drivers are considering stopping their operations because they are afraid there will be little to no income left after paying for fuel. It made me wonder, what if we all just went back to the old days when people rode bicycles to work? No need to worry about gas, oil, or kerosene. Less pollution, and everyone would probably be fitter too.
On the brighter side, last weekend I had the chance to visit the city where my older brother and I grew up to celebrate another festival called Panagbenga, also known as the Flower Festival. I haven’t visited this place since we moved back to our hometown, so seeing it again, especially during the festival, made my heart burst with happiness. There were many food stalls, bazaars, thrift shops, and more, but the main highlight of the event is the beautiful floats made of flowers and the colorful street dance parade from different schools and organizations. It brought back a core memory for me, remembering when I performed in this festival in grade school as one of the flag dancers.
The event concluded with a fireworks display. Tourists and locals were all in awe, but unfortunately an incident happened that night when one of the fireworks malfunctioned and went toward the audience. Sadly, seven people were injured in the incident.
Anyway, here’s a collage photo from the festival. I hope you like it.

Learning Center Article – What Are Distribution Layer Switches?
In order to understand distribution layer switches, we first have to tackle the distribution layer. Cisco has a three-layer hierarchy that makes up robust high-end, expansive networks. Many Cisco switches are designed around this three-tier idea, so it helps to understand those tiers.
