My Lovely Story In This Perplexing World

 My name is Winalyn V. Cabbab, 15 y/o. I lived in this Barrio from the town of Santa , province of Ilocos Sur, called "Nagpanaoan". I have one sibling; basically we're two sisters, I'm the oldest the tallest and sometimes act like a mom. My mom is a Teacher in Grade 1. My dad's a Farmer also a former OFW,fisherman to be exact

My life isn't perfect; I made a lot of mistakes at a young age, and I guess that's part of growing up. My life became more boring during the pandemic, but I learned valuable lessons. It bothers me sometimes when I abruptly cut people out of my life, because I might end up with no one and be alone. Being alone isn't that difficult because it can provide you with peace of mind; what's difficult is feeling alone. If being alone means having peace of mind, then I enjoy being alone and would prefer to be alone. As I previously stated, life is difficult, but it becomes even more difficult when a pandemic strikes. To be honest, I don't know who I am today; I don't know what I like or dislike; I'm just existing as if I'm "living the life."

When the pandemic started, I had a lot of breakdowns," drained mind, "and some phases I don't want to ever talk about." I despise dramas; I'm that friend who always has your back, but I won't ask you to be there for me. As the pandemic progressed, I realized that I was still learning about life and trying to fit in. Growing up isn't easy, but you have to be strong because at the end of the day, all you have is yourself. To all teenagers: You will lose friends and possibly yourself, but that is okay because it is all part of growing up. Simply live your life to the fullest and strive to be the best version of yourself.

Pandemic in Christmas

 In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, how does one enjoy Christmas this year? This is most likely one of the few times in modern history when we are urged to enjoy Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity. We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to experience the normal Christmas joy and mirth that we have come to expect. Covid, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas celebrations! This season, let us spread even more hope, peace, joy, and love!And it is here that I am reminded of our Savior's birth. The Christmas story is a straightforward one. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was born in a ma...

3RD QUARTER: REFLECTION

Image
          As the third quarter comes to a close, it's difficult to believe we're approaching the end of the 2020-2021 academic year. Even if the school year is approaching to an end, it is still extremely difficult and stressful because, due to the pandemic, we are currently studying at a different phase, online or modular learning. Despite the fact that I should be happy because, after returning from a much-needed break and passing three challenging periods, we will now enter the fourth marking period full steam ahead, I can't help but feel sad and anxious. On the other hand, I have to remind myself that I gave it my all and that's why I'm here.       The sort of learning has changed in the most recent quarter of ICT. We learned about community-based research in the third quarter, which we had never heard of before, but it is very similar to what we are learning in Research II; the only difference is that there are only a few parts to creating a ...
