However, as I began to reflect on the reality of such a virus and trying to contain it, it became clear that

no matter what my group and I might be doing to stay healthy, it wasn't enough. I had to trust that
everyone else in the restaurant was also committed to washing their hands and the other preventive
measures we were asked to practice. For if anyone of us were to have the virus, we would all be
quarantined.

I could feel the web that was woven around everyone in the dining room. We were all interconnected
and on this journey together. The feeling was quite visceral and continues in me while I complete my
self-imposed quarantine back home.

It is too easy to fall into unconscious patterns of blaming the "other" — the "Kung Flu" virus, the
"Chinese" virus — it is their fault. Contemplation invites you into a spaciousness to stay awake and alert
to reactions that are intolerant or prejudicial. It invites you to be open to the unexpected stranger who
offers you compassion.

For I pursued my fears and faced them;

And did not run back until I was free.

I saw each one through, so that they were not able to rise;

They were transformed by love.

Fears abound. Such uncertainty. How long will it last? Will I be able to pay my bills? What if I get sick?
How long will I be separated from the people I love, especially the elders? Will there be enough food
and other essentials? Will I have a job? Will I have my business? What about my future income or my
savings? What will the future be for my children and grandchildren?

Other emotions: resentment, anger, deep sadness, frustration rise up as we face weddings that are —
after months in planning — being disrupted; diplomas for graduating college and high school seniors
awarded through the mail; trips saved for over the years canceled; birthdays, anniversaries, sporting
events, concerts, plays, conferences and meetings — so many events that enrich our lives … not
happening.
The Psalmist says for us to pursue our fears and face them. Great advice as we know that negative
emotions cause stress and illness if they are not acknowledged. As counterintuitive as it seems, to face
into those emotions and fears, actually embrace them, helps release their power over you and their
negative effect on you.

It is useless to try to stop feeling such emotions or to feel you shouldn't have them for all sorts of
reasons. Repressing or rejecting them often keeps them simmering just below the surface.
Contemplative practices in both the East and the West invite us to intentionally lean into the feeling,
even intensify it and transform it with a loving heart. Tonglen from the Buddhist tradition and the
welcoming practice, which is part of centering prayer, are worth trying to see if they might help at this
time. The links take you to past reflections that explain these practices.

Yet there was no safe haven, no hiding place from fear.

Then the channels of the sea were seen,

And the foundations of the world laid bare,

The earth gave a mighty shudder

Then settled down to heal in the Silence.

It seems as if our earth is giving a mighty shudder. We know that our economic and political systems
have become dysfunctional. As a people, too many of us in industrialized countries consume far more
than is necessary. Individualism has dwarfed concern for the common good. The climate crisis continues
to intensify. The old ways do not work anymore. We need a new consciousness to imagine new ways of
responding to the crises we are experiencing.

ADVERTISEMENT

As the Earth settles down to heal in "the Silence," perhaps we can come together across the ideological
divide to sit together in silence. In that space we would begin to share our deepest longings and hopes
for how to be an Earth community for this millennium. Having stopped doing so much of what we take
for granted, we may be willing to emerge from our healing in new ways — creating structures to provide
a more equitable distribution of revenue and resources for all.
I abandon myself to You, O Living Presence,

My strength. You are my rock, my stronghold,

My freedom. …

I call upon You, Heart of my heart,

Singing praises to your Name,

And fear no longer holds me.

Contemplation is setting the intention to be open to the workings of the divine within oneself. During
this time of crisis let us enter into contemplative sitting. Let us pray that we learn through this pandemic
the stark realization that we are all connected; that when we face into our fears, we can transform them
through love; and that we emerge from it all committed to a new way of being and acting.

In the years to come, that is what I hope to respond when asked: "What did you learn from the
coronavirus pandemic?"

self reflections during this quarantine CloudSparkles — before i start this thread, i want to acknowledge i
understand people are experiencing quarantine their own ways, this is strictly self reflection and
relevant to my context and lifestyle.

i love diving into my own thoughts, it helps me look towards where I want to be and go, reminding me
that I’m in a perpetual state of growing. sharing this here bc I believe the value of self reflection is
important to growth

so i’ve been realising that pre quarantine and practically most of my adult life, the only times I went out
was if someone else made plans/I had obligations I.e work, uni. I love people’s company but I rarely
initiated for the main reason that I love being at home in my own space

I partly think it’s because ive been in the workforce since I was 14 and being a youth leader from ages
16-23, I’ve really treasured days off and don’t mind if I don’t go out bc I was always out socializing

so maybe as a result, I’ve developed the mentality that if someone wanted to hang out they can just ask,
otherwise I’m cool ova here in my room Bugbut it’s led me to think - am I making enough effort for other
people? should I be initiating more? am I passive in my friendships?
in saying that though, I may be passive when it comes to hanging out socially, but I’ve realised there’s no
hesitation when messaging my friends, sending gifts (ok im now realising this is just emphasising im not
a quality time person, I’m words, gifts and acts Face with tears of joy)

wow a realisation within a realisation Eyes okay so maybe im passive in different ways but not in others.
I’m okay with that. Next —

with all the free time, another realisation that I had is that I CAN be disciplined if I just gave myself a
break. I’ve been doing assignments as early as 3 weeks before it’s due.. who would’ve thought Eyes

with the free time, I’ve also had more time to focus on motivating myself to eat better and be more
active. When I was busy, there was less time to focus on the motivating aspect and I would just b like
idgaf let’s just eat. and just like that i gained weight y’all

it might’ve also been a stress thing due to a hectic schedule, when I get stressed I soothe myself by
eating.

also, this period of quarantine is allowing me to see what really does affect my mental health and what’s
been holding me back from achieving what I want to achieve! no more complacency and being
comfortable Sneezing face

this is just the way i saw my free time :-) I’ll add more later if I remember

•Reflection during this Pandemic•

My Enhance Community Quarantine experience

(A thread)

This past few days of ECQ, I stayed at home as always. I can say that I'm a "taong bahay" so it feels like a
normal day for me. Helping my mom do the chores, cooking foods and do some experiment desserts
and recipes for sardines. This ECQ help us to have more quality time

with our family and in this crisis it help us to strengthen our faith. But later on it was scary of how fast
the COVID - 19 spread into our country. This crisis is giving a threat to every individuals health. I hope
that in our communities every one will obey the orders of

government but many people are disobeying the orders of government. I just thought this question on
my head "why are there so many poor in our country?" because in this thought if there are not so many
poor in our county and everyone are obeying the orders of government
it might be more easier to beat the COVID - 19. Let us all have faith and fight this COVID - 19.

without boredom. We will all be alone physically and/or emotionally at least for some part of our lives..

III. When the reality becomes too unbearable, we can always bend the reality to fit our hopeful narrative
that we want to believe in.

I can hardly believe that only a couple of weeks ago, life was normal. People grunted upon waking up on
Mondays. Restaurants were filled with couples, families, and friends cracking jokes and chatting away.
Cars piled up on the roads at all hours. Kids went to school, parents went to work. It’s hard for me to
imagine that now because we have inevitably entered a new kind of normal – life in the midst of a
pandemic. The lives of people worldwide have been dramatically altered. We are all put on pause,
confined to our homes. Even going out to buy essential things holds so much risk. Checkpoints separate
cities, families, and friends. Relationships are strained. Life has ceased to be predictable. I’ve realized so
many things, and I want to share some of them with you.

I’ve learned to be grateful. I shudder now to think of how much I’ve complained before COVID19 struck.
It seemed like a knee-jerk reaction, as normal to me as breathing. Food delivery got delayed? Complain.
EDSA traffic? Complain. A long line at the milk tea store? Complain. When I look back now, I realize how
minute those things seem. I took so many things for granted – the ability to go out and not be worried
about invisible viruses, the freedom to go to work, the ability to jog outside. The independence of it all. I
never appreciated those before. I’m hoping that at the end of this pandemic, I will love these small
inconveniences more because when you think about it; they make life wonderfully normal, don’t they?

I’ve realized that no matter how old or independent you are, you should never forget about family. The
life of a twenty-something is so fast-paced. You have so many goals, so many dreams that you’re chasing
that you do everything to get them. You move out of the house to live near the office where you spend
almost all your time. You jump on planes to get to far places and breathe in new experiences. Doing all
of these, we forget our family. We fail to appreciate our parents, our siblings. In pursuit of ourselves, we
inadvertently leave them behind. But this virus has forced us to temporarily put down roots. We went
home. We moved back to our old rooms. We now worry about our aging parents and grandparents. We
are reminded of how much we love them. And hopefully, in the future, when we’re back out in the
world, we’ll learn to love them even more and give them the time and care they deserve.

I’ve learned that to survive, we need to help each other. Everyone has a role to play in this crisis. It may
be as simple as staying home, or as difficult as serving as a frontliner. We all need to do our part. We
should set aside our selfish desires and look out for people who are more in need. Help out, in any way
you can. Give what you can. Smile and be polite to our frontliners. Pray for everyone’s safety. Follow the
rules; they are there to protect us. Don’t put our elderly at risk. Be responsible and be proactive. WASH
YOUR HANDS! We can get through this, but we will need to work together.

This pandemic has also brought me closer to God. The Words I read in the Bible have never been more
alive. Desperation makes you seek and see the power of God. Fear moves your feet closer to His
protection. Helplessness makes you see how much you need Him. I’ve been a Christian all my life. I go to
church on Sundays, I pray every day. But now, facing this crisis, I feel my dependence on Him growing
deeper. I’ve realized that everything I’ve achieved can fall apart in a matter of days. But His love and His
promises are still there. And I choose to hold on to Him.

I know that we have a long road ahead of us. Life as we know it may be permanently changed. There will
be sadness, fear and heartbreak. But I hope that among these, love, hope and faith will shine brighter.
Let’s show this virus how strong the Filipino heart is. We will fight and we will win together.

Follow us: @inquirerdotnet on Twitter | inquirerdotnet on Facebook

Our lives have been affected in so many ways by this coronavirus pandemic. Following public policy
toward mitigation of this dreaded illness has turned our lives upside down. We have been struggling to
find ways to tolerate stay at home orders. To learn new routines within our social isolation and for many
to incorporate the education of their children during the day while schools remain closed. And above all,
our stress and anxieties are peaked by the fear of contracting coronavirus as we see each day the
numbers of confirmed positive cases and deaths from COVID-19. Our sorrows run especially deep as we
experience the reality of death or the struggling for survival of friends or family members as a result of
this disease. We see many around us, if not even ourselves, who have lost jobs. Jobs that have sustained
them and their families just disappeared literally overnight as the American economy had to shut down
in order to curtail the spread of the virus. And furthering these emotions, people of faith are
experiencing a great suffering of their spirit through the ongoing inability to worship as a church
community. We Catholics are finding it especially painful as we hunger and thirst for the Eucharist, now
that our attendance at Mass is limited to livestreaming video broadcasts on our televisions and
computers.
We see and experience so much suffering on many levels for so many people, and we pray prayers of
thanksgiving if we have been spared from this illness and the devasting turbulent side effects from it.
And through this experience we have come to realize a deep sense of gratitude for those who are
continuing the frontline battle against this disease. Those doctors and nurses, all hospital workers, who
are putting their lives on the line to save others. And for all those who continue to leave their homes
each day, endangering their own health, to keep us fed and sustained with life essential things. Grocery
store clerks, delivery drivers, postal workers, truck drivers, food service and supply warehouse workers,
all doing their part to help us endure and survive within our new isolated realities.

And, during the course of all of this, we have witnessed a tremendous rise in charitable acts and
volunteerism within our communities. Everything from making protective masks, preparing food for
hospital and nursing home workers, to fund raising for many people who need help due to the collateral
damage being done by COVID-19.

As we so often come to discover during and after a crisis passes, there are silver linings and often
beautiful byproducts that emerge through the sorrow and pain. This crisis should be no different. There
is something that we can all learn and carry with us through and beyond this experience. We of all ages
have now come to know better the pain and sorrow, as well as the heartbreak, of true isolation. We
have experienced the frustration that comes from being stuck in our homes. We have now lived with the
anguish of the loneliness of not being in the daily presence of friends and neighbors. Of not being able
to be with children or grandchildren and feel their precious hugs and experience that tender touch of
another human person.

As we feel these longings and experience these emotions, we can come to fully embrace them as we
realize the reality of what so many of our elderly brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers,
grandparents and neighbors, feel each day in their lives. In lives that certainly now are being threatened
by this pandemic and in lives that will go on after it is controlled and behind us. We now know firsthand
these feelings of loneliness that isolation brings them. Isolation from friends as safe physical mobility
diminishes. Loneliness and social distancing as circles of friends get smaller or disappear completely due
to death. And the resultant feelings of despair and frustration that begin to take over in our elderly
loved ones who were once vibrant and joyful people. Our social distancing and isolation of today is only
temporary and will end soon. But for many of the elderly in our communities, it will go on way beyond
this pandemic.
Our living sense of compassion can and must be enhanced by the internalization of these feelings that
we are experiencing these days. As a people of faith, we can and must emerge from this pandemic more
empathetic than ever to the reality of loneliness that so many experience each day throughout their
twilight years. What we now feel must serve as the spark needed to light the flame of desire to do more
to be present to those among us who suffer the inability to move beyond their homes or their nursing
home rooms. To create in us a burning desire to visit the homebound sick, the residents of nursing
homes, and those whose physical disabilities cause them to remain virtually prisoners within their
homes, isolated in so many ways from the world around them.

We need to find purpose behind this dark cloud that can bring new life to the elderly among us. We
need to store away these feelings of today. Lock them in our brain centers of emotion and in our heart
chambers of compassion and unleash them through the power of the Holy Spirit once this all ends. To
find that precious element of time to spend with those who feel lonely each and every day. We can and
must be motivated by our own awareness of the terrible feelings of isolation and loneliness now known
firsthand. And let us be moved into action as we recall in sacred Scripture John 10:10 which tells us that
“I (Christ) came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” Let us not allow anyone
among us to live short of that abundance while in our midst. Let’s be sure to bring life to all, and bring it
to the fullest.

Throughout this crisis the staff of VITALity Catholic Healthcare Services of the Diocese of Camden has
remained active in our efforts of Care Coordination for the elderly and disabled, helping them with their
healthcare concerns through these stormy times. Doing it via phone calls and drop off of key resources
as needed. Our hospital chaplains have remained a presence within our South Jersey hospitals even
though limited by strict non-visitation policies of COVID-19 patients. They have prayed on the phone
with patients, prayed with and consoled family members who are also unable to see their loved ones
during these critical times. Even at the time of death for many. And they have been a source of strength
and comfort for doctors and nurses who are feeling the spiritual, emotional and physical strains of
caring for the victims and bearing the heartbreak of death and suffering of so many. We need to
continue to pray for all caregivers that God will bless their heroic efforts with His peace and love.

pandemic.
The coronavirus has changed the way we live. My sister had to come home from college in New York.
My sister in Los Angeles is feeling sick. My parents have to work from home, and I have to go to school
from home. Everything is closed. We can’t go the movies, to restaurants, to stores, or meet friends.
We’re all waiting at home, so we don’t all give it to each other.

My grandparents say they have never seen anything like it in their lifetimes. Where I live and in more
places around the country, we have to stay in our houses unless we have to leave the house for medical
care or to buy food. So, I haven’t been out of the house much in two weeks. I miss everybody at school
and missing the rest of my family. One thing we’ve started to do is meet up with my dad’s big family
over the internet using Zoom. We did this for my grandpa’s birthday, and we could all see each other on
the screen at the same time. Grandkids from all over the world were there, from Australia, New York,
Hawaii and from all over California. It was pretty amazing and really fun to see all my cousins. It was a
nice way to celebrate my Grandpa’s 85th birthday since none of us could be there.

The near future is uncertain for my country and all the countries in the world. In some ways, we all have
a common enemy for once, the virus. Italian doctors were warning the world what was to come a few
weeks ago and telling the rest of the world to prepare. This was different, since rarely does the world
look out for each other. I’m hoping the countries of the world see what they have in common a bit more
after this terrible disease has attacked us all. My country was not prepared to respond, so maybe we can
be more prepared the next time this happens, because it will probably happen again. So, maybe this
common suffering and challenge will make the world see each other as one thing, as one people. Not
that our countries and cultures aren’t important, but that we can all help each other prepare to limit the
suffering and unnecessary death that has surprised the world this time with this virus.

'At a time when so many people are living under lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is
important to highlight the dreadful conditions that displaced people endure, which I have personally
witnessed in refugee camps throughout the world'

The most important lesson I learnt during this quarantine is to flow with my emotions and to stop being
afraid to feel any of them.

We woke up today afraid? Let's be, we woke up today happy? Let's be.

I will no longer force myself to feel anything that it doesn't.

--

What is the biggest lesson that you learned during quarantine and lockdown? Thinking face Mine was
that family and health are the most important things in life Smiling face with 3 hearts Also, I came to
understand better that all experiences,…

Yesterday, I went to a Bible study.

I had been hemming and hawing about going to this stupid Bible study for weeks… even months. The
geek in me wanted to go to discuss topics of interest. The introvert in me fought like hell so she
wouldn’t have to meet anyone new.

I threw every road block in my path to prevent myself from going. First, I was too tired. Then, I was too
busy. Then, I was sick. Then, the kids had too many activities going on. Then, the husband and I hadn’t
had any alone time together and needed a date night. Then, I was busy again… and then tired again…
and then I had too many errands.

It went on like this for weeks. 15 weeks to be exact. I wasted 15 weeks of this Bible study making
excuses for why I couldn’t go.

So, last night, I made myself go. (Correction: I made my husband and I go. The introvert in me needed
some moral support.) I was nervous to the point of being nauseous. I was worried about all the new
people I might have to meet and the talking I might have to do — and my anxiety was through the roof,
but I forced myself to go.

And it turned out the be the best time I had had in weeks.

You guys, I talked to other adults. (Correction: I had lively, interesting dialogue about things that matter
to me with fellow intelligent, educated adults.) I can’t remember the last time that happened.

In my work life, I spend all day with kiddos. We talk about not running in the hall… we talk about
sharks… we talk about what life would be like if dinosaurs were still alive… we talk about why we need
to know our multiplication facts… we talk about Fort Night and Captain Underpants and Dog-Man… but
we don’t talk about anything I’m interested in.

In my home life, I spend most of the time with my step-kiddos. We talk about what happened in school…
we talk about what idiot teacher or student said what or why… we talk about our favorite foods… we
talk about movies… we talk about TV shows… we talk about cats… we talk about chores… we talk about
Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, and trips to the orthodontist… but we don’t talk much about anything I
want to talk about.

I had no idea how starved I was for interaction with other humans who think like me and talk like me
and care about what I have to say and share the same interests and passions and proclivities. It. Was.
Amazing.

I felt refreshed. I felt energized. I felt… for the first time in a very long time… excited about something.

And that’s when it occurred to me… when I’m not making time and taking time to indulge in my
hobbies… I’m not myself. I’m cranky, easily frustrated, depressed, impatient, and… really, really lonely. I
thought going to this Bible study was just going to be “one more thing” on my plate — another item to
cross off on my to-do list — a chore. But if I hadn’t forced myself to do the chore and get it out of the
way… I wouldn’t have known what I was missing out on.

Why is it so much easier to stay complacent and grow stagnant and not push ourselves… even when it’s
good for us? How do we grow so lazy and self-indulgent? Why do we wallow in instant gratification and
pleasure-seeking to such an extent that we can’t see that the things that require something of us are
much more satisfying and rewarding than our temporal satisfaction?

I don’t want to be that person — that person that doesn’t push herself — the person that relies on
comfort and safety than discomfort and adventure — the person that loses herself because she doesn’t
make time for the things that motivate her and ignite her passions.

Because, if we don’t grow and stretch and discover… what’s our purpose? Why are we here? What’s the
point of staying safe and comfortable if it’s to the detriment of our own spirits?

What is the biggest lesson that you learned during quarantine and lockdown? 🤔 Mine was that family
and health are the most important things in life 🥰 Also, I came to understand better that all experiences,
especially the ones we consider unfavorable, carry valuable lessons with them.✨ Be grateful for them,
learn from them and don't fight against them. The more you learn to accept what is happening, the
easier and more fulfilling your life will be. Let go of trying to control things you cannot control.💭

I am learning every day.

==

Mine was remind myself that we are not the master of this earth, earth without us is still okay.. so we
need to love and appreciate this earth more..
The most important lesson during quarantine is how important time is how you should value every
minute or second.

oday I had a good lesson on how important self-care is. I thought during this quarantine I was doing ok,
but turns out I was not.

--So I definitely wouldn’t be considered as having been “productive” during quarantine. Truthfully, it’s
taking most of my energy just to mentally get through this. But I have managed to slow down. And I
think that was a really important lesson.

Most important lesson I have learned during quarantine...BE WHERE YOUR FEET ARE. Applies in ALL
aspects of life...as a husband, father, friend, coach, mentor, etc. I have long been preoccupied with the
idea of how to improve my future without focusing on my present. No more Hundred points
symbolRaising hands

A personal lesson from working out during this quarantine: in the beginning, I remind myself it's
consistency over intensity. However, once I've developed the discipline of being consistent, intensity
became just as important.

During this quarantine I have been very productive:

- designed my future home on pintrest

- planned my wedding on pintrest

- finished designing the vinyl for my racetruck for whenever the season does start up

- taught my father a very important lesson about men in their 20s

I wrote a long crazy post to go along with this quote and my phone shut off. Lesson to create in notes
first. During this time of quarantine- a reminder I feel is important. Many of the greatest inventions were
born of men in times of solitude. And though I love solitude so dearly, I’ve also learned how to be in a
solitude state around others if I do decide. To be able to share space in a room with another human and
both create independently and together from the depths of our soul with pure intentions of just being...
how we are, who we are as we are with and without others. To honor that space, to create it is a space
and place I hold dear to my heart. When alone with no thoughts, who are you? When alone with no
outside influence, what influences you? I find so much joy in my solitude time. In those times it aids me
in going deeper within the workings of my mind, my soul and spirit and whatever the heck else there is. I
am easily able to access states of awareness quicker than if I were in a crowd of people... though I’ve
learned to bring that training everywhere and access it anytime. The journey I decided to explore within
myself is so amazing and I hope others can and will allow themselves to experience as they will their
version. The mind evolves sharper and sharper through time, practice and much patience. We are all
wired the same and the journey their is different for all of us. I hope if you are reading this that you truly
take the time during this state of “crisis” and rise to the occasion... rise with your soul, your knowing,
your gifts, step into your fears and understand them. Step into the role of who you want to be but keep
putting off. Each second is a new beginning to what you decide.... birth from you and of your knowing of
all you’ve ever wanted to create, because one day it could be too late. All you know is here and now. I
can attest to that. Thought alone may ignite the fire but it’s up to you to keep it burning.

Be kind to yourself" is also an important lesson during the #COVID19 pandemic. Take care of your
mental and physical health. Remember what makes you happy, and schedule it into your day!
Scheduling it may not seem necessary, but it is b/c it emphasizes its essential nature.

The Bible teaches us through Proverbs 27:12...

"The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."

A simple but important lesson during a deadly pandemic

The most important lesson I learned during this pandemic is protecting myself against this deadly virus
by practicing good personal hygiene. i.e. bathe regularly, constant hand washing and using hand
sanitizer. Social distancing is secondary

If hygiene and safety is top priority during this pandemic, then manners better the next important lesson
when this is all over.

An interesting self enlightenment/realization during self isolation and social distancing due to COVID-19:
As a mega introvert, I've never realized how much I enjoyed face-to-face interaction on a daily basis. I
miss y'all so so much.

So I’ve realized in reflection during quarantine that as an OT I want to work in a capacity where I can
create a safe space for people to explore themselves and open up and do things that bring themselves
joy ... is that a mental health worker position? Help ? Red heart
Day 23 of quarantine at this facility and I’m grateful for the opportunity to spend time with the work
family and the new relationships,friendships and memories we shared during this uncertain times. It has
been a time of self reflection and self discovery. Forever grateful.

During this time of quarantine i think we should all use it as a time of self reflection and bettering
yourself. Don’t let the negativity and anxiety take over.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that we should possess unity and discipline. I’ve that when it comes
to our health there is no exemption based on your social class. Lastly, is we should strengthen our faith
to God.

During this ECQ, I made myself productive by having fun with my family. Listening to news updates
about COVID-19. Also some self reflection about the course/program I'll pursue on college lol. And
things you want to achieve inside the house.

What lessons can I learn spiritually during COVID-19? What do I take for granted? What sins/idols are in
my life that perhaps God is taking away? What have I perceived as important that isn't? Let's not waste
this opportunity for self-reflection.

During COVID-19

I did a lot of self reflection....Play by play

Wins and losses

Friendships, the good, bad and ugly.

Results, fresh perspective...

I enjoyed the most letting go of people who caused me emotional stress. Perspective is the key.

Loneliness is depressing, especially during COVID-19. Understanding this is temporary can help us get
through it. Use this time for self-reflection: what is our role in this world? Focusing on how we can help
others helps us forget about our loneliness.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that

• I should live each day as if it were my last.

• I should spend more quality time with my family.

It may be hard to accept all of these, but keeping myself productive & busy is my way of coping in this
pandemic and it also influences my family to do something better day by day.

However, I have been REALLY productive this week. I finished A LOT of school works including this one. I
am SO HAPPY that we get new tasks from our teachers almost everyday.

After the ECQ, I will probably stay at home for a few days for safety measures. When everything is safe, I
will definitely go out and catch up with my friends. We would eat, drink and probably talk about how
bored we were during the ECQ.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that to protect everyone from this virus that is continually
spreading, we should start with ourselves. It's a must to all of us to know the importance of being in
quarantine.

During this ECQ, I made myself productive by trying new things such as learning an instrument. Also, I
personally think that its a great time to have a bonding with your loved ones. That way, you can create
good memories in spite of a hard situation.

After the ECQ, I will value simple things and how it makes my life more colorful and happy. I wouldn't
take anything in my life for granted and I will always remind myself how blessed I am to be able to live a
life with the people that I love.

a thread. During this ECQ, it made me realize that these kind of virus is the worst enemy of all people.
We should be spending more time in worshiping God and just obey the simple rules of the government
to avoid the increasing rate of the cases.

During this ECQ, It made myself productive by doing some home chores with my parents and improving
my hobby specially in drawing and we cook and bake and have fun with my family. Imortantly, I became
close to God.

After the ECQ, We will go to church with my family and thank God for helping those frontliners who
sacrifice their lives just to have a safe country for us. I will also look forward in enrolling a College
school and meet my long lost friends.

And lastly, i would like to thank the frontliners for their sacrifice for the betterment of our health and
society and providing us service for their specially in these tough times hopefully in some way we could
express our gratitude and reward them for their hardwork.

This past months, once again the humanity was doomed by a pandemic that can kill millions of people
across the globe and brought fear for everyone. The Coronavirus Disease 2019, a deadly respiratory
virus that cause us to be quarantined

Due to this pandemic we are forced to stay at home, hoping for a cure, and a miracle to stop this
pandemic will and come to it's end. It's already 2 months since the pandemic started and all I have done
was to used my phone, watch movies, series, K-Drama, anime, etc.

But this pandemic made me realize of something very important not moments are truly valuable than
memories, but also this pandemic made me realize how dumb, unready, incompetent, and foolish some
of our Government Officials. This pandemic made us rethink our political perspective

They witnessed their very own mistakes by still voting incompetent "trapo" leaders that done nothing
but jokes and stupidity, watching their city to be doomed by disease just because of useless
competitions "who is the best among others"

Not to mention, those "pa-woke" Filipino people that always complaining about everything useless
instead of helping others, specially our Frontliners to make their jobs easier. The Useless government
officials plus the useless "pa-woke" are seriously no help.

And here I am, thinking if this disease will come to an end and finally be freed to this quarantine.
Seriously, I'm starting to be lonely and to develop anxiety now, I think COVID-19 won't kill me but
boredom will.

The day after quarantine probably won't be the way we imagine it. We fight against covid for a long
time. Despite everything, we must put ourselves in God's hands. And trust the process until everything
become stable
During this ECQ, it made me realize how precious life is. We should cherish the little moments in life.
Focus on the things that you have, appreciate the people around you and consider every moment of
your life as a blessing.

After ECQ, I will spend time with my friends and go to the places my family planned to visit before the
quarantine.

COVID - 19 pandemic is not just a name that we've just invented somewhere. It is the reason why the
world stops in just a snap. It killed people. It makes everyone suffer, no matter what our status is, all of
us are affected.

Our lives was doing fine but then suddenly, we've got an enemy which we can not see. Maybe, this is a
wake up call for us to be united,again. Because, we've lost our unity throughout these years without us
even knowing.

communication with your family and I became more aware about the political issues here in our
country.

After the ECQ, I will invite the "S Q U A D" to eat outside and talk about the future for the last time (not
really) before we go out on our separate ways.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that our country (especially the government) can't handle and
protect their people in times of this kind of pandemic.

First of all, we can clearly see that the main fault is in our government, since they happened to have a
lack of security in protecting their people—about the travel ban here in the Philippines.

But since it already happened Person facepalming‍♀ I just made myself productive by doing what's best
to keep safe from the virus. And also, I shared these things to my friends and loved ones (by the used of
my social media accounts).

We need to act for ourselves so that it won't spread as fast as it can be. We're the ones who can help
ourselves first, since we're lack of equipments in our hospital. We need to stay safe as long as we can.
MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

After the ECQ, I would still be aware of our surroundings and would probably still be using alcohol for
safety, even though it's over. And lastly, I would like to thank our frontliners for keeping us safe all
throughout this pandemic Pleading face (salute to all of you!!) +++

During this EQC, it made me realized that Coronavirus has brought with it a negative outcomes, terrible
illness and death, but it also highlighted some important life lessons to us, and if we don't follow the
rules that was implemented the virus will spread easily and

the EQC will take more time for us to flatten the curve and everything will be out of control. EQC helps
our environment be healthy and the pollution here in our country is lessen and this EQC helps us to
bond with our family and enjoy each other's company.

During this EQC I made myself productive by motivating myself that this crisis will end soon and I keep
myself updated about the COVID-19 and doing some household chores that I don't really do before and
Doing a online activity. I watch a lot of series for my boredom.
After this EQC I will go to church and thank God for everything that He did to us and I will pray that this
kind of situation won't happen again. I will say thankyou to the frontliners for keeping us safe and also
for their effort and sacrifices.

I will be more careful conscious because we don't know

if the virus is already done and I will apply what I've learned during EQC.

During this ECQ it made me realize that being lockdown at home is very hard, but having nothing to eat
at home and having no choice but to leave home to earn money is a different kind of hard, it made me
realize how lucky i am to just stay at home and be bored

While others starve to death, because the government focused on military services rather than
improving and providing help to our frontliners and giving reliefs to those who are in need.

During this ECQ I made my self productive by being informed and awake, i need to be a voice for those
who are voiceless, be a helping hand to those who are in need, The government doesn't run the
Filipinos, we Filipinos run the government

"Tayong mga pinoy ang bumubuo sa pilipinas" don't keep a blind a eye, speak and educate, and also i
helped my parents at home to clean and cook, and i have been keeping myself busy by doing school
works

After ECQ I will of course go out of the house again finally and enjoy my freedom, and start spreading
love and happiness again

nd for our frontliners we salute and thank you for your service, we applaud you for your bravery and
kindness, my mom is actually a nurse so i know how it feel to see a love one sacrifice their lives for the
lives of many,

And for an aspiring doctor like me it really inspire me to pursue my dream more.

Some of the people are excited to go out and travel after the ecq. Let’s not be complacent, it may be
better to keep ourselves more careful around us and keep our bodies clean to avoid other diseases and
let us also listen to the counsel of the frontliners.

Force countries to lockdown, shut schools and public places and put our life on hold. It hit us now and its
everywhere. It made the whole world bleed and spreading like wildfire.

So that, after the ecq I will be more careful, positive, strong and especially more close to God. New
realisations are expecting after the ecq or the Corona Virus. We still need to be more aware to the
people around us.

I will be more active in academics and news for me to know what will happen in our world in the future,
I will thank all of the frontliners for their sacrifices and for doing their best just to protect us.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that being 'in' on current social issues today is a must, and it made
me realized that this crisis gave us a negative effect in our society. Giving positivity through social media
can make a difference.

During this ECQ, I made myself productive by giving all my best to have a progress in every single day.
Thus, ECQ will never stop us from learning through digital or advance book reading

After this ECQ, I will cherish every moment on the outside. I'll do a simple travel or vacation with family
and friends.

During this ECQ, it made me realize that we can do almost anything that we want. And it's all about our
mindset - on how we look upon things. We can choose to lie in our bed all day or be productive. We
have the freedom to choose what we want.

During this ECQ, I made myself productive by doing the business that I want. I'm stretching my bones
and taking care of my plants in the morning. I also take a workout everyday. Apart from this, I also
donated apheresis in the Philippine Red Cross.

During the ECQ, life became very different from the usual lifestyle. This event that we are facing now
made me realize many things. One of those is that, general hygiene is always important. +++

During this pandemic, i got to do all the things i wanted. Like watch anime all day, play video games
more often, watch movies and more. And during this pandemic i can still study back here at my home
with the help of online classes.

EQC gives us time to bond with our family and making us to be thankful of what we have In this kind of
dilemma. We, as family is ready to help people who are in need and to help those frontliners who is
ready to serve ourselves through this pandemic.

ECQ (Enhance Community Quarantine) is where you need isolate yourself in your own homes. For days,
weeks or so. Its been a month since then, I can barely remember my classmates faces. With this long
