Last year, I was able to celebrate my birthday at Boracay with my family. I was very lucky that I was able to go on this trip as the Pandemic was still here. This was during the time where the cases were nearly at double digits so we took the opportunity to go while it was relatively safe.

During the Christmas season, I was given the opportunity to spend time with my friends. We spent 3 days at one of our friend's house after not being able to see each other for almost 2 years. I am very thankful for this experience as it made me appreciate my friendships even more.

Last December, my parents finally got married (church wedding) after almost 20 years of being together. This was a very special moment as my parents were finally able to profess their love for each other through the sacrament.

Last year was an especially stressful year despite all the great things that happened. The start of the new school year meant many lectures and homeworks and hours and hours of staring at screens. Since this was our last year in HS, we also had to do our College Applications. Additionally, I had personal problems and issues that I had to deal with so this caused a lot of stress and anxiety for me.

During the last days of 2021 and first weeks of 2022, we were once again hit with a resurge of cases. Numbers were through the rough, surpassing any record of cases we had from previous resurges. This cause panic and fear in many again as people thought when the pandemic will finally be under control after 2 years.

Finally, the upcoming elections make me feel hopeless as I still see so many people taking the side of politicians that are clearly not fit for the role of being a leader. I am praying that come election time, our people can unite to vote for those politicians that can truly lead and give our country hope once again.
