1. The best thing that happened to me during the COVID-19 pandemic is the opportunity to reconnect with people through the internet and on social media. Previously, we've been just busy with our own lives; but, having this pandemic that poses a threat to all of us, we remember people who are dear to us, and check on and give support to each other. When we initially used the term social distancing instead of physical distancing, I actually thought it was ironic for me since it made me be more active and closer with others on social media.

2. I'm not sure about my strength but I've been trying to be more considerate and understanding about things, helping in small ways, and keeping my faith.

3. I felt despair and anxiety about all the changes and threat to our lives. There was so much to do and attend to do that it became frustrating because I was unprepared. After some time, I realized that I need to be more forgiving and take care of myself first so that I'd be able to help in turn. I still feel despair and anxiety but am more mindful now. It also gives me hope to see people working together to cope with our situation. This pandemic made me realize what are essentials and good in my life, the most important things that I value and wish to better, and dreams for myself and others, for each and all.

Salamat po sa lahat! Sending love and prayers for all! : )
