The Spirit of Christmas amidst the Pandemic

As we near the Christmas 2021, we can already feel the cold breeze that signifies the near celebration is coming. As the pandemic shatters almost all of public places, our churches, tourist spots, and also theme parks have closed. We experienced our first pandemic Christmas in 2020, and as we celebrate it this 2021, we can all say that, everything is much better without the virus or the pandemic.  

          The Christmas season is already coming in, and as we are recovering from this pandemic, we really love to see a normal type of Christmas. The Christmas here in our country is a very meaningful celebration, it is where we bond with each other, we have reunions, and also where we see that we care for each other. When the pandemic strike us, we were wishing that the virus will be gone before December for us to enjoy the celebration and meet up without love ones. As everything is going back to normal, we see great changes in our world. Now that we are approaching a very grand celebration, we must always thank our Lord for guiding us through tough times and reaching this stage of our lives.

            Christmas season can really be a sweater season, a joyful season, giving presents and many more. But we cannot change the fact that Christmas season is the best season every year. Now that everything is going back to normal, we must appreciate every single second of this beautiful journey that we are about to experiences. Always be joyful this coming Christmas and always remember that the spirit of Christmas is about being happy.

A Tough One

January 1, 2020, we were very happy to open a new year, many kids are jumping, and rejoicing everywhere and a lot of us are very excited for new chapter in our lives. But COVID-19 showed up that we didn’t expect to come. Many countries closed down its borders and implemented strict protocols in order for the virus to stop spreading. The virus closed down many schools, businesses, and also lives. As the pandemic continues to hurt many lives, a lot of us are still trying to recover from this pandemic. Our lives can be shut down by the pandemic but we are fighters, fighting for our lives and fighting for a COVID-19 world.                                               All of the countries in the world have been affected by this pandemic, including the Philippines. Our government did the necessary things just to prevent the spread o...

The Modern Me

  We start our year with a bang. Fireworks are blasting in our skies, people are cheering “Happy New Year” some are jumping, and some are praying to give us a beautiful year. As January 1 passes by we can see a lot of post in social media with the captions “New Year, New Me”, “Changing this New Year”, and “Entering the year, with a new me”. We Filipinos are known for having the grandest celebrations when it comes to New Year, Christmas, and even Fiesta’s. 2021 is truly a blast for all of us, and opening a new chapter of our lives is a cheerful part for all of us.             A new chapter to our lives must be a joyful feeling but it has the feeling of being anxious on what this year has stored for us. We are all hopeful to have a blessed and happy 2022. No more COVID-19 cases, no more deaths because of this virus, and us being able to free ourselves form lockdowns and quarantines caused by this virus. We also want to give our...

Environment for all

As we grow older, we change. Just like our environment, it also changes. As time passes by our environment slowly degrades, we can see this before the pandemic. Before the pandemic people are littering, burning plastics, not following the proper waste segregation, and many more. As we went on lockdown, we have to stay in our homes, which resulted in the healing of our earth. Due to the lockdown we experiences some news that our earth is slowly going back to its original form, and being clean and green again. As we see small changes, we must continue this to see big changes. As a citizen, we must do everything that we can to make it good again.               There are many steps in protecting our environment, I narrowed it down to two simple ones but I consider this very helpful. First, we must know ourselves, ask yourself “Am I making the earth better or I make it worse?” As we get to know ourselves, we slowly learn the thing...
