WEEK 4 - Activity

 

YOUR PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AND CAPACITY IN THE MIDST OF HEALTH CRISIS:

    Despite the picky eater that I am, during quarantine, I was able to discover alternative ways to eat more vegetables and fruits in order to live a little healthier since back then, I never really ate them if I were given the chance to reject the offers. At the start of quarantine, I also started working out, it took me 5-6 days a week back when there was still no school yet. With that, I was able to improve my respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and immune system, along with other factors that affect my physical well-being. Although we always drink vitamins every day even before the pandemic, my mother made sure that we never skip drinking it every day, and she wouldn't let me skip meals too because it would be bad for the body. Because of these things, I was able to create habits that help me gain confidence and improve not only my physical health but mental health also.

YOUR MANNER OF LIVING WHERE SOME WAYS ARE NOW UNBECOMING:

    Back then, I was always out with my friends, whether it be eating out after school or just hanging out/strolling in the mall. But, since the pandemic is hindering us to always be with each other, we try to hang out using alternative ways. One thing we always do when there is no homework or just work in general, we all watch a movie online, either on a streaming platform or on Discord. Since we are not able to study together face-to-face, we all do it together virtually, either on Zoom, Google Meet, Messenger, or Discord. Although it's not as fun as when we used to hang out before the pandemic, at least we still get to do things together, thanks to social media and other virtual platforms.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO ABIDE AS A CITIZEN WHERE SOME AUTHORITIES ARE NOT PERFORMING WELL:

    As the cases still increase y the minute, as a citizen, it is still my responsibility to abide by the health protocols not only to protect myself but also my family and the people around us. However, that does not equate to me being supportive of our authorities who did everything but handle the COVID-19 pandemic that is still at large. Because of that, I realized that as a citizen, it is also my duty and responsibility to call out their wrongdoings for the sake of every Filipinos who are caught up in the incompetency of our government. As I further learned and got educated, I was lucky enough to join an organization that seeks and wants to help amplify the calls of the masses, those who are still being silenced and taken advantage of during the pandemic. In that organization, I help them get more people through alliances, by actively sharing alerts and news that have not even reached the mainstream media yet, and even help educate people to become more aware of what is happening in our country.
