Before the covid-19 virus struck the country, were there plans that you wished to
accomplish but failed to because of the lockdown that was implemented? If yes,
did you feel any regret? How did you deal with it? What do you intend to do now
or in the near future about those failed plans?

accepting the fact that we need to
prioritize our safety first before
anything else, because it is a
matter of life and death.

The negative aspect is that many lives have been
lost, and many people have given their lives to
protect the rest of us from the virus. Additionally,
many businesses have closed, affecting the daily
lives of many people. My family overcame this
circumstance by never leaving each other's side,
making time to bond together, and constantly
ensuring that everyone is safe.

Good day, future self.
I'm sure you're satisfied.
I know you're proud, and I know you've already taken care of yourself.
I'm sure you've already worked everything out by now.
Your former self is still attempting to get out of his shell at this point.
He's still striving to be the best version of himself, overcoming his fears and concerns.
However, thank you.
Thank you for persevering.
Thank you for your faith.
Remember to be grateful, right?
And always remember to look back.
I'm ecstatic to be you.
I'll see you mwaahhhh.

While we are gradually easing out of
this “bawal lumabas” kind of covid-

19 stricken life, have you thought
about what directions you would
want to take? What are your plans?

Honestly, because of this situation, all
of my future plans are slowly changing
due to the doubt that I have in myself.
The only plan that I was thinking
about right now is that I will just focus
on myself so that I can decide my
goals for the future and for myself.

adjusting to a new mode of
learning is difficult in the first
place, and there is a risk from
the virus because it is
pandemic, and we don't know
who is the virus's carrier.
