Faith

 At the end of the year 2019, we are all still happy and celebrating for the new upcoming year. Filipino worker getting their Christmas bonus, children happily playing with their new toys and friends, some are lonely celebrating, streets are filled with Christmas lights and street children caroling. But who thought that the year we anticipated to be a beautiful and full of prosperity became catastrophic? 

 March 2020 when we, students, are still learning at school, playing with friends, and waiting for the last examination and then suddenly, we are forced not to go back to school, same as the adults working. The reason? COVID-19. It was discovered last 2019 but it is still not that serious, at least for me, but the transmission went all around the world. It caused millions of people to suffer, majority of the people suffered from the virus, some unfortunately did not survive, some are still recovering, doctors and nurses are exhausted, workers forced to stop their job, including the schools and other institutions, economy rate went low and not to mention, the natural disasters occurred right before the virus was introduced.

 Some Filipinos remained undisciplined and continues to break the rules causing an increase number of cases here in our country. But thankfully, majority has still a functioning brain and heart and remains faithful to the Lord, praying for the human saviors, affected ones, those who passed away and praying that this issue would go away soon. We are all human and it is normal to experience these inevitable events and the only way for us to do is to have faith in humanity and to God.

    I couldn't agree more that having faith in humanity and God in times of crisis is a must. Despite the foul doings of humanity, such as absence of coordination and cooperation, we must still have faith that we would be able to get through inevitable events. We must continue doing the right things and hopefully we would inspire other people to do the same. Let us all have faith in humanity and in God. God bless!

Effectivity of Education

 We are all in the middle of a pandemic. People are losing their lives, some fortunately recovered. Hard workers sacrificing their lives such as doctors, nurses, polices, teachers and other front liners. Poor ones suffering from poverty but still working just to provide their own family’s needs. Majority of schools all around the world are affected and forced to close due to this pandemic. Several months here in the Philippines, the Department of Education and other private schools decided to open and continue schooling. Is it really effective though?  We can say that the privileged ones; gifted in terms of wealth and intelligence, would be fine with this kind of education. Our school wondered whether they are going to implement online learning or just pray that the pandemic would go away. Since we are in a public school, they chose both online and printed modular learnings, both rich and poor ones are benefited. The problem is, how about the ones that are not gifted with inte...

Hey, Earthquake!

  At any time an earthquake might strike us without any warning. No single individual could stop an inevitable disaster. All we could do is to prevent and have a knowledge about preparedness and vigilance.   National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill by the government is always conducted every year. As I have noticed, only few people is taking the activity seriously. Is the "duck, cover and hold" enough for them to save their lives? How would they act in case an earthquake would hit them? I guess, have a chit-chat with a companion first rather than being vigilant.  It is really important to participate, even in a simple preparedness plan or at least have a knowledge on how to act and respond to disasters. I suggest to have a cooperation and not to be a burden, of course, excluding the ones with disabilities and illnesses.

The Usual

 Nothing has changed, actually. Is it necessary to change ourselves yearly? Or people are just used to changing and improving theirselves every New Year?   I always fail my New Year's Resolutions and I do not know if I am already contented with who I am as of the moment. For now, I only want to make my grades better than last year, hone my hobbies; especially in drawing, remove any unwanted traits that shows toxicity and have a good-looking appearance.  We were bombarded by disasters and a pandemic that lead us to lockdown, affecting us in all aspects last year, so wishing it would be gone soon is not a bother also. In spite of that happenings, we became close and fortunately unaffected by the virus so that is a new goal for this year, not to be affected by it.  And hopefully, I can past through this pressure and challenges this year, and reconcile with our happy lives back then, which has a low percentage, apparently.
