We need to be vaccinated as soon as possible before we end up our life or cause huge damage to the other creation. At our current situation, where most of the business establishments are forcedly shutdown, the schools were temporary close, millions or billions of people loss their job, physical activities are discourage and other negative impact to our health and most particularly to our economy, this is what really happens to my country which is the Philippines.

Millions of Filipinos are suffered by this crisis known as COVID-19, we need a urgent action before we and they end up they’re life because of hunger, inability to find a work, inability to move, restrictions and other barriers that was imposed by the authorities. This is new to us as a young generation, this is not the environment that the next generation will experience. Let us not give them an environment where they are not happy to this new normal where human interaction was divided. Technologies plays important role to our life as we go through or combat this pandemic, also it helps us to generate money, engage in school activities and so on that supposedly it should be done physically.

How are you in this time of pandemic? Did you find it interesting and exciting? Are you happy with this situation? Do you find it more difficult while doing your school activity or your work? This question are most common ask question with regards to this pandemic. I know and you also know that our emotions, reaction and feelings are mutual, wherein we find it difficult and we are not happy with this situation.

As a college student, I should be at the school right now doing my school works, interact with my instructors, develop my social aspect and of course interact with my classmates there. And as what I had experienced on this online class, this mode of learning is not advisable to someone who does not good in understanding a lesson or topic easily or should a say those people who has a difficulty in studying.

As I go through to this pandemic, I realized that I should be vaccinated not just for myself but also to protect my family from the deadly virus and to encourage more people too to be vaccinated, that is why my vaccine is SINOVAC which is made from the country of China, yes your right, this country is where the virus is originated. If you ask me if I am okay with this or is this my choice, my answer would be YES, this is my choice and I am okay with this.

My experience on the vaccination site wasn’t really good because I have a fear of needles or the injection, not because of the vaccine. The process before the injection of vaccine was good not until I seated next to the nurse and she rub my left arm with cotton and alcohol. When she attempt to inject the needle to my arm I was intense and and my heart beats faster, so what I did I ask to the nurse if it would be okay if she will allow me to breath for just a second and she agree with it. She help and told me to relax because it will take a second and it is really quick. So I trust her and trying to calm myself. After the first dose of vaccine, I told to the nurse if that was all, and she replied “that’s all sir”. I was happy because it wasn’t pain at all. However, after a few minutes I started notice the heaviness and the pain on my left arm. What I did is I just relax myself and ignore the pain since it is tolerable. After a few days I noticed that my heart is beats rapidly even though I was lying on my bed, that was happen to me before I fall asleep and it took me a few days to recover. Before my second dose, I asked our doctor there about my horrible experienced, she told me that “if something went wrong again don’t hesitate to contact with the given contact information below the vaccination card”. So far, I am fully vaccinated and I haven’t notice any more about my concern for the past days. I would say that I am good now and my hearts beats naturally.

For those people out there, who has a fear of needles believe me, it was just nothing there is no pain and it takes a seconds only for the process of injecting the vaccine to your body. and also those people who has a fear of vaccine, if the doctors are vaccinated then why aren’t you get vaccinated? If we are sick, we go to the doctor and ask a prescription to cure our illness or disease, and now we are encourage us to be vaccinated as soon as possible to eliminate the deadly virus and hoping that we will go back to our traditional way of living.

If you are fully vaccinated, share your experience here. But if you have some question about my experience you can reach me through this websites.

Filipinos and friends from all over the world feel energized by the new slogan of the Department of Tourism, which aims to invite tourists to visit the country.

Despite the controversies and criticisms we discussed in my column last Wednesday, many more kababayans are fired up to be the country’s best sales people, sharing why they believe it is really more fun in the Philippines!ADVERTISEMENT

Here are some of their testimonials:

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because the people are honest and friendly. In general, they may be one of the poorest, but would give the shirt off their back to a complete stranger. That is true hospitality!” — David Kudransky, California

“It’s more fun in the Philippines [because] you get more bang for your bucks!” — Rapha Elle RN

“Life …is simply more fun in the Philippines! Smiles in the Philippines are cheaper than any place in the world because we’re a bunch of easy to please and love to please people.” — Dr. Valerie de Leon, Millbrae Smiles California

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because of the good weather we have plus the beautiful beaches and warm welcoming faces of the Filipinos. I am from Quezon Province and I am very proud of our place, specifically Lucban. The famous Kamay ni Hesus and the Pahiyas ng Lucban are worth visiting. I am married to an American and he is decided to retire in the Philippines because of our warm climate.” — Helen Heidel, Kansas

“I come from Brazil, but the best beaches in this world are in Philippines! OMG,such a wonderful country.” — Maria Clara Delos Santos

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because Filipinos often smile without any reason and it’s contagious. They have the natural sense of happiness which makes tourists love the Philippines and the people as well.” — Blossom-kun Ekhsdi

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because we know how to go with the flow, and enjoy it. We spot current trends worldwide (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, fashion styles, etc. and put our Filipino twist into it.) The new tourism campaign certifies it – Filipinos are creative. Their submissions and memes for this campaign are nice, well-thought of and entertaining.” — Ithan Jessemar Dollente

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because of the Filipino’s innate faith in God. So whatever happens, God is still in full control. This is why we rise above our tragedies — we move on, we believe that in the end, we will triumph! It makes us one of the happiest people on the face of this planet. Add to that the incredibly, unbelievably beautiful coastline! Oh, and we just did the zipline in Agas Agas, Leyte! A must-do!” — Luchie S. CallantaADVERTISEMENT

“It’s more fun in the Philippines. It’s where singing is not a talent, but a hobby. People who have less smile more, and a stranger is always a part of the family.” — Francis Erneth Mojado Lu

“It’s more fun in the Philippines, because it is the only place in the universe where the so called ‘Bayanihan’ spirit prevails, which no specific culture or nation could ever duplicate or surpass. Hail the Pearl of the Orient Seas!” — Maria Nanzee

“Going places, from town to town, is not a problem — colorful jeepneys are here [while you ride] with other people. You can ask drivers [how to get to] where you want to go. They are friendly.” — Orlando V. Lucero

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because we celebrate Christmas and New Year here with a bang. Dito sa Canada, pagkatapos ng holiday, parang walang nangyari. Hindi memorable ang celebrations.” — Rose Noveloso

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because we Filipinos have world-class talents and skills. — and that is our TRADEMARK.” — Eugene Ramos

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because the malls are alive and teeming with people at 8:30 on a Tuesday evening.” — Rita Sargadilos Balazo

“It’s more fun in the Philippines because Filipinos are hospitable.” — Catherine Gonzales Calumpad

“Definitely more fun in the Philippines! I’ve been to many countries as well, but I still prefer ikutin ang buong Pilipinas. ItÕs because of [the] good weather, best beaches especially my hometown Palawan! Cheaper to travel, friendly and helpful Filipinos and natural attractions. Here in Europe itÕs also nice but expensive to tour around and [it’s] always cold.  Iba ang adventure,  thrill at  attractions sa Pilipinas. Huwag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan! Simulang ikutin ang sariling bayan at masasabi niyo na kay ganda talaga ng Pilipinas.” — Sheryl C. Hansen

“It’s more fun in the Philippines kasi sobrang passionate tayo. Kung anti-DOT slogan, sige lang, banat. Kung pro-DOT naman, banat din. Definitely more fun in the Philippines to stand up for what you believe in! Gosh, I miss the motherland so bad.” — Sanctina Lxii 

“Maybe we can also have some of these Philippine domestic tourism slogans: Boracay, You Sexy Beach! Haller, Baler! Bohol: Go To Hill! Be Cool, Bicol! Thank you, Camiguin! Maliit Navotas, Lumalaki! We Fly High In Capiz! Go Gaga In Naga! Kaibigan, Punta Na Sa Vigan! Virac, You Rock! Kamuning Get Me! Better Leyte Than Never! Whee! Tawi-Tawi! Walang Aayaw Sa Apayao! Maraming Gig Sa Taguig! Bongga Ka Day, Sa Norzagaray! Todong Todo sa Tondo! Hadang Hada sa Sagada! I wanna dance with Zambales, I wanna feel the heat with Zambales!” — Tito Glorioso

The immersion phase of a unit allows us all to get to know our subject. For students, it might be ideas they have and for teachers, it is about getting to know their writers a bit better.

The Immersion Phase of a Unit: Reading and Writing Collide — TWO WRITING TEACHERS

Before I can parallel-path that project and route it back to you, you’ll need to explain what you’re asking in actual English, please.

I Have No Idea What You Corporate People Are Talking About — Longreads

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
