Happiness Over Crisis

 

      Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who most people believe is the son of God. Christmas is one of the longest holidays that we Filipino's are celebrating every year.  One cannot deny that this holiday feels warm and joyful when it comes to celebrating it with their family members, close friends, or simply their loved ones. Family traditions bond us closer together; they help every single member feel a sense of belonging; they create joyful memories that will last a lifetime and they give us something to look forward to.

       Christmas is just around the corner but at the same time, events and holidays are different as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. For many of us, the holiday season is a much-anticipated time to rest, savor family meals and enjoy each other’s company. In past years, holiday travel has been as simple as jumping in the car or boarding a plane. Due to the strict health protocols, we could not do things like before nor celebrate holidays like how we used to. The limited movements and social distancing cause us to have lesser interaction with one another giving us a different feel during this said holiday. It is very stressful for everyone so we will have to be creative and think of ways to celebrate and enjoy the holiday season despite not being able to gather in person. Special celebration times can help ease "pandemic fatigue" by reconnecting safely with family and friends. As more people get vaccinated, gatherings become safer. But some people with weak immune systems or medical conditions might still get sick even after being vaccinated. So, we still need to take precautions. One way is celebrating it virtually, you can chat while eating, play games, or "see" each other's holiday decorations. If we push through a gathering, we need to keep it small to lower the risk of getting infected.

        All in all, taking the time away from everything and spending it with your loved ones during holidays may it be virtually or a gathering in person is still very important because it can lessen stress and other illness caused by overworking.

Our Youth Deserves Everything but an Awful Life

Myself for the Past Months

  Myself for the Past Months         This first quarter in Grade 10 was fairly simple. I learned to manage my time properly and interact with other people. Our class did many activities, some include us doing yoga. Another activity that we did was painting. Even though I miss my classmates and genuinely want to meet our teachers, I somehow enjoy home learning. At the beginning of the school year, I was a little shy in our google meets but now that we did some activities, I feel looser to express what I feel and have to say.      The problems I encountered during this quarter is not really about the difficulty of the modules or the lack of internet, my problem is myself. At times, I always tend to zone out when working and waste the time that is designated for my modules. At night, I sometimes suffer insomnia because I often overthink about things. I addressed these problems by communicating with my parents about my behaviour and helped myself by cooperating with them. These past
