There are lots of difficulties I have encountered while executing all those strokes and activities. Since we cannot go outside, we need to deal with what we can do inside our homes.

The most challenging part is how I can show the strokes to my students properly. How can they demonstrate it as well in their homes?  I need to give them activities wherein they can have the possibility to learn and to demonstrate the sport in their own phase and way.

Regardless of difficulties, I think I managed to give them what they deserved and what they could watch and see without pressuring them to submit it instantly.

I know today is rough & almost every one of you has problems too. Soon, this will be over & I am proud of everyone who is keeping up with themselves. If you need someone to talk to, I am here and willing to listen.

While I was doing the activity, I was really excited about it because it's been a long time since I used my badminton racket. And I didn't have a hard time showing how to do the strokes and I think I did it well because the example given to us was clear to me so I got it easily. Maybe the only difficulty that I have experienced while doing it was the place where I did it. Because in our room we only have small space and that time I was taking care of a child which is my super naughty nephew. So that's where I struggled but even so, I think I did a great job and I'm happy with the result of my activity. I just really thought that it would be more fun to do, all of this if there was no pandemic. So hopefully after this pandemic we still have a chance to do this sport in face to face classes. ❤️

During the activity, I had encountered some difficulties while trying to do the different strokes, services, and bouncing. I only filmed and recorded my activities in my room since I cannot just go outside due to COVID. It is just a relief that I have enough space to execute the activities. It may not be the best playing area but at least I was able to do my activities.

Another difficulty I encountered is that I had to ask my dad to buy shuttlecocks from the store since it turns out my brother left our shuttlecocks in our school before the pandemic happened. We had to rush and buy the materials needed and my dad successfully bought the things I needed before the deadline.

Last thing I want to point out is that I still have a difficulty in moving fast since I have a weak leg. When I was in Grade 9, I fractured my left left fibula, therefore had my leg casted for a few months. Occasionally, there would be times that my leg would hurt if I am doing strenuous activities or activities that need excessive movement of my legs. Because of that, I was not able to play badminton again after a long time, but at least now I can play slowly during this class. With enough practice and exercise, I will be able to regain the strength of my legs and will properly play badminton again.

But even with the situation right now, at least I am able to play badminton again :) I hope the situation gets better so that I am able to play in the court again :)

Some of the difficulties that I faced while doing the activity was the lack of equipment, and not enough space to perform the activity since I cannot do it outside.

I thought I still had my pair of badminton rackets but unfortunately it went missing so we had to buy another one at the nearest store, thankfully we still had some shuttle 🤬 left.

Since we're in the midst of a pandemic, it felt uncomfortable to do the activity outside because there were people outside so I had to do it inside, and there wasn't enough space to perform the activity in the living room so my room had to make do. (which is also kinda small).

despite this, I still had fun and finished the activity. I do hope to play the sport in a proper court next time when the pandemic finally recedes.

The difficulties that I have encountered, are maybe the lack of space for the reason that we are only living in a small house, and the reality that we are not doing this kind of great sport in a face to face situation because of the pandemic. I have been a fan of badminton and will always be. Despite of the difficulties, thankfully I was able to do the activity very well. Indeed I was happy when I got a chance to take this sport in PE, however it saddens me that we can only do it this time through online/screen. We missed the opportunity to have interaction or get to know each other. Maybe we are talking in class session, but it is still different when you are talking face to face.

Nonetheless, as for my experience with my classmates in this particular subject, I must say that I'm having fun while learning. I also wanted to give the utmost gratitude towards our Professor Marylou Caballero, who is full of effort in everything she does and always give care for us, as her students. Surely, the difficulties couldn't be able to ruin everything that we have learned and enjoyed as we are taking this subject. The important thing is we are all healthy with our families. Thank you and God bless to all of you!! <333

During the activity, I felt lucky in terms of equipment and professor. Fortunately, I still had my badminton rackets and some shuttlecock, which was bought since I was Grade 5. In terms of professor, I felt lucky since every activity she would provide videos of herself where she will demonstrate the strokes properly. Actually, it was fun and easy to learn since the only thing that I need to do is to follow the instructions in the activity and the videos provided to properly execute the strokes.

In terms of the difficulties, the only challenging part that I experienced is the limited space where I would conduct the activity. Since pandemic, I am hesitant to go outside because there are a lot of people. I struggled in doing the activities because the space in our room are limited only. I usually arrange and clean the room first before conducting the activity to make enough space. By cleaning the room, it consumes time and I felt tired already before conducting the activity.

# data[].attributes.body
In performing the activity I encounter lots of difficulty in a way how I interpret some of step  and its really hard to breath when you wearing face mask while exercising or playing because this pandemic we can't do the things we want because its taking lot of risk.  But I enjoy doing this activity and I performed it well.

Keep safe everyone. 💖

I used to think badminton was one of the simplest sports to play. However, I ran into some issues when it came to executing the strokes. The first is that, due to the lockdown, I had to conduct my activity inside the house. Unfortunately, due to the small size of our home, my steps are restricted in a narrow room. To avoid hitting our living room appliances, I need to move as little as possible. I asked my family to go to my aunt's house and wait there until I finished my activity because we only have a small house and I am afraid to show my family the activity that I would do. As a result, I feel a little bad about it.

In addition, our pets are seen on camera as they walk by every time I begin to perform the strokes. So, I'll have to do it a lot of times. In fact, as soon as I begin performing those strokes, I still lose track of what would I do. Despite the challenges, I loved executing the strokes, even though I had to repeat them many times. The guidelines were clear; but, since it is not my expertise and I am not a sporty person, I am not confident enough to do it. Nonetheless, I am fortunate to have a professor who is so approachable and compassionate.

In terms of the equipments, I’m really grateful that I still have my badminton racket, shuttlecocks, a device for the photos and editing. However, there are some difficulties things that I’ve encountered when I did the written work #1  and that involves space and health condition.

I did execute the activity in my room because that’s where I’m comfortable when I need to do that kind of activity and my room is my personal space, however the free space in my room is just small, therefore my execution had its limitations. It would have been better if I have an extra space.

Another thing that was difficult for me was that I did the activity just right after I got fever so I still have sinat. It was difficult for me to move because I still felt weak and hot but I needed to do that activity with that condition because if I didn’t, my workloads would just piled up and it would just cause me more inconvenience. Nonetheless, my condition was not just serious; just like what I said, it would have been better if I’m fully okay that time.

Nevertheless, I still did well in excuting the strokes in badminton activity. I did my best when I did the activity despite of the difficulties that I experienced. I’m happy and satisfied with my output and I hope that my classmates are also happy with theirs.

I just wanna add that I’m also grateful that we have the kind of professor who is very kind and understanding enough with everyone’s situation.

The pandemic changed most of the things that we used to do including the way of doing our physical activities and exercises. Before I enlisted to this badminton class, I thought of many possible difficulties that I might encounter specially that I am well aware that badminton requires a space where you can freely execute the activity. However, I still chose this class because I considered the fact that I might enjoy the tasks that will be given along the process.

That is exactly the difficulty I have faced. Due to the lockdown and restrictions, we can not easily just go outside and do the activities that we have to do. My actions are limited because the space in our house is not that big. I have to be extra careful in executing the strokes and the exercises needed because I might hit some of our appliances.

Another problem are the pets, we have 10 cats with us and while I am taking a photo and video of me, they keep on going back and forth but of course I cannot do anything but to just let them be seen.

Despite all of this, I am glad that I still managed to do the tasks given to us. I also enjoyed doing the activities even for a short time, this also serves as a break from the academic responsibilities that I have and that made me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
The first difficulty that I have encountered was the equipment. I do have my racket but I do not have a shuttlecock, so I asked my mother to buy me one, which she did not mind since we can also use it some other time and she actually bought three pieces of it, perfect for the activity. Next was the people in our residence. Many people are passing by that sometimes I need to pause and redo the filming. That's all.

Badminton is the sports that all of us can do, it is easy to learn and execute using the racket and shuttlecock. It is a friendly sport that all of us will gonna enjoy. In this activity, I really enjoy playing badminton because it's been a while since I played this sport since pandemic.

I did this activity at 6 pm in the evening so that there's no many people in our backyard and it's not too hot, but the problem is the video seems a little bit dark but I think I execute it and did it properly. My friend who took a video of me really had fun, It took a few more take to get a 15 bounces.

We enjoyed this activity , since I was in high school badminton is my favorite sports because everyone's know hoy to play it, so it's easy to find a playmate.
I am looking forward to some activities regarding badminton, it makes me excite and enjoy.

I am the type of person that is not sporty but I find this subject interesting because it is an opportunity to learn about sport specifically badminton. From the half of the semester, I learned lots of things like the terminologies involve, the history of badminton, different strokes in playing badminton, and the proper way of serving and bouncing through some activities. However, I have encountered problems in doing such activities because we do not have enough space in our house, I need to go to my sister's house or I need to shoot my activity outdoor. Doing this kind of activity outdoor is difficult because we are in a community quarantine where we cannot go outside without safety protocols.

# data[].attributes.body
Physical education is a fun subject not until this worldwide health crisis happened. During this difficult time, I must admit that it is quite challenging for me and the other students as well to properly execute some of the given tasks in which we could do easily outdoors and show off our skills if it is safe just like then.

In my case, there was only a limited space (low ceiling) for me to perform the assigned tasks & I have no one to film me outside since my family are always busy in which these circumstances hinders me the chance to surpass the output expectations.

But despite of all the challenges, I appreciate my P.E. professor, Ma'am Caballero, who is very considerate at this difficult times which pushes me to execute the tasks with outmost integrity.

Be well and keep safe at all times everyone 🤍🧚‍♀️

I am the type of person who becomes nervous when performing in front of a large group of people. Inside the house, doing a physical workout or dancing suited me well, but I chose badminton because I wanted to try one of my first sports when I was young, not until I learned that picking this sport would force me to conduct activities outside our house because we don't have enough space inside. Before doing the first activity, I went to a friend's house and asked her to film me outside their house because I still don't have enough time to buy one. If you've seen my infographics, you'll notice that I was awkward and couldn't perform well. It's a long distance from our house to theirs, but I always asked her if I could come before going to theirs. However, going outside is still a win for me because it allows me to relax and enjoy the outdoors; however, I must return home after my agenda because it is still unsafe to enjoy the view outside in the midst of a pandemic.

Virtual classes of physical education is quite challenging for us students. I wish we could turn back time to the good old days where we can enjoy physical education in our PLM gym. Since we are experiencing a pandemic, the only mode of classes is held virtually.

I have experienced some difficulties in conducting our classes. One of the difficulties is that i want to learn badminton by hands-on lessons. I want to physically learn important executions in badminton. Our professor told us that it is optional to buy a racket, so i was hesitant to buy. At first, i was to lessen my expenses, but good thing my friend had an extra racket so i borrowed it for me to do our activity.

In doing the activity, i was confused because i really dont know if im doing the right strokes. Nonetheless, i followed the correct formation from our professor and i was able to execute it properly.

Regardless of confusions and difficulties, I personally enjoyed the activity. I have so much to learn in this course so i am excited to continue our lessons and hopefully apply them to future badminton games.

The difficulties I have encountered while executing the activities (strokes, service, bouncing, etc) are small area since our home is not that big and  I still have to go out to execute properly those strokes. Another was that while I was performing the forehand service, the shuttlecock that I served got stuck in our roof.

Next was that I still have to go to our court area for me to be able to do the bouncing activity for our midterms because our house is located in an area where houses are too close to each other (Eskinita). It is hard to move properly when you only have a small space.

Moreover, despite encountering those difficulties I was able to have fun and accomplish those activities. Hoping that after this pandemic we can see each other and be able to play with one another.

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, I haven't encountered a lot of difficulties when it comes to my environment seeing that my family tends to respect my 'space' where I start to conduct the activities and seeing that they are also busy with what they are doing. Also, I just yell out, "Ma! Pa! Mag-fifilm na 'ko ah!" before doing anything just to be sure.

The only difficulty that I can think of is more of my fault, because I am an overthinker. For instance, I am unsure if I am doing the strokes well even if there are examples; so I tend to retake and repeat my work all over again until I realize I've spent the whole day for it.

Despite this, I am still grateful that because of this subject, it encourages me to pick up my hobby of playing badminton again and also be more active instead of just laying down in bed all day.

Thank you for being understanding and kind to our situations as well. Stay safe!

Badminton is one of the sports that I love to play aside from volleyball. Holding a racket makes me feel at ease. When I was performing the activity, it didn't give me a hard time on the execution because the instruction was very clear and I had played many matches back when I was in high school that made me comfortable with the sport. The only thing that makes it difficult is the place where I performed it. I was hesitant to perform it outside of our house because we all know how dangerous it is. I wasn't able to perform it inside our house due to its narrow space, but overall I had fun doing this activity. I just hope that I have an opponent to enjoy the sports.

PE classes used to be something very exciting yet tiring to me. It is one of the highlights of my week because it is only once a week that I would get to work and perform physically. Sadly, this pandemic happened and though the performances in a PE class are still the same, I still cannot deny that I am facing a lot of difficulties while performing my tasks.

The first struggle I am facing is the space I have in our house. Since we cannot go out to do such activities, I have no choice but to do it inside our house which is too small for me to conduct any physical activities. My movements are limited since there are stuff everywhere that I might destroy if I messed up with my racket or with the shuttlecock. Also, my family is at home and it is a little awkward for me to make them see what I am doing. Also, I struggle in taking videos of my performances too. Since I only have a small and limited space, my phone camera cannot cover fully parts and angle that I want to be seen in the video so I have to ask someone first to take a video of me or to improvise my things for my phone to have a holder.

My struggles may be quite small for others' struggles but what important is how hard I am trying to do my best in performing my tasks and I am enjoying it despite having some hard time. I hope this pandemic will be over so that I can interact with my classmates in the PE class again and create happy memories with our professor like we used to.

Honestly, there are a lot of difficulties that I experienced in the process of doing these badminton activities. I admit that at first I thought that my only problem is the space where I can execute these activities because I know that our house is not that spacious, but while I was doing them already I realized that it is not that easy as it looks like. Knowing that I’m really not into physical activities and my body is weak, it consumes me a lot of time in order to perform it properly. I’m also not that confident enough to do something like this in front of many people but I don’t have a choice. I also need to need to wear face mask while performing it to protect myself from COVID. From the first activity until the midterm exam I took a lot of strength, pictures and videos performing those activities but I thought that it is just fine, I know that I’m not that great like the others but I’m really determined to do it so, I didn’t stop until I achieved the best results. I admit that in our midterm activity it took me 168 captured videos before I can’t do it properly especially the bounce. But after seeing the results, I didn’t regret the failures because finally I did it and and I surpassed the minimum service too because of my hard work and I also had a lot of fun and learning from these activities.

While doing activities, I encountered a lot of challenges and difficulties, but that doesn't stop me because I know that I can deal it in a most awesome way. First, is doing some exercise, I encountered difficulties in space because the space here is small and very narrow. To successfully do the activities I need to move some things that I can move to fit here.

I also encountered difficulties in having an equipment because I remembered having a racket but when I found it, it is in a bad condition because the string is loosened and the grip is damage. Since I always save and budget my money, I am afraid to spend it on expensive things so that I quickly browse in an online shop and I successfully found cheap string, grip and shuttle.

After that receiving my order, I quickly fixed my racket, but I found it difficult to put the string because it needs a tool to put it in the racket and I just use force to make it. After all of that, my activities went smoothly.

I enjoyed playing and doing these activities in badminton because it helps me think to fix a problem in a different way, like instead of buying a new racket, I only buy string and grip so that I can save more money. Overall, it's very challenging but it helps me to overcome it.

Online physical education class is wholly new experience for both teachers and students. Badminton, as a sport that requires skills and proper training, is indeed challenging especially in this time of ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. I, myself, have experienced difficulties while executing the activities that was given to us by our professor. And these challenges may be discouraging and frustrating for us.

One of the challenges I encountered was gadget's crashing system and low internet connectivity while editing a video and submitting the badminton activity. In addition, aside from technical issues is the space to execute the strokes, services and bouncing. Badminton is an outdoor activity and needs a lot of space, but since we cannot go outside, I always film it in our living room. Although there was enough space for me to the activity, it is still not an ideal place to play badminton. Moreover, lack of materials specially the shuttlecock was also a problem. I only borrow the equipment from my cousin and I only have one shuttlecock so I needed to cut the video in order to film the required number of services.

Despite of the challenges I experienced during this online physical education class, I was able to cope up and learn not only the concepts but also the actual execution of strokes, services and bouncing.

Nevertheless, I am fascinated on how we deal with challenges and how our professor was able to facilitate an efficient learning approach for us. I hope that everything will be back to normal, and we can all play badminton once limited face-to-face classes resume.

Honestly, I encountered many difficulties in doing this activity especially since this virtual classes for physical education is a new experience for all of us. My biggest problem then was the lack of space/place for me to do the activity since our house was small and I couldn't afford to make a video there. Next is the lack of materials, I don't have a grip for my racket and I also don't have a shuttlecock that can be used to play badminton. Thanks to my friends who provided a place where I could do the activity and lent me a shuttlecock so I could start taking a video. But since we were outdoors when the activity was done, we had to be careful and follow protocols to avoid becoming infected with COVID19. While doing the activity, there were no difficulties in serving but when I was doing the bouncing, I had 3-4 attempts before I passed 15 bounces. After that, me and my friends just played and enjoyed the chances of playing badminton again.

# data[].attributes.body
While making my output for the activity, I Encountered some difficulties regarding the exercises. Because we are having class through online means, it is hard to move inside the house so I decided to do the activities outside with some friends of mine. Space is one thing but there are also lack of sports gear, like net and shuttlecock that is needed, so we had to buy new shuttlecocks. Thanks to our friend that provided us a space to do the activity in, we were able to effectively conduct the strokes and serves without obstructing/bothering other people. Even though we had a gathering we still observed the Safety protocols that was implemented because of the Pandemic. I have some background on badminton, which helped me execute the servings effectively the one that I had difficulty doing is the bounce which I had to redo multiple times. But overall I enjoyed doing the activity and playing with my friends.

I enlisted in badminton for my PE because since then I really enjoy playing the sport. It has been a long time since I last used my badminton racket and shuttlecock. For that reason, I had a hard time finding my shuttlecocks and I ended up borrowing one from my cousin.

One of the difficulties that I have encountered was performing the strokes inside our house. I just moved some of our things in the house to maximize and make space for me to be able to execute the activities. For the bouncing, I tried it both inside and outside our house since the shuttlecock always hit the ceiling. Another difficulty is wearing a mask when doing and performing the sport. I find it awkward to pose for the strokes and in executing the activities with my face uncovered that's why I wore a mask. But because of the mask, it became so hard for me to breathe.

Despite the difficulties I faced, I had fun in playing the sport and performing the tasks assigned to us. Also, I am thankful to have a professor who is very much approachable and jolly. (+ma'am's feedback on my output 1 made me so kilig). I am really looking forward to knowing and learning about badminton with our next activities and class sessions.

We all know that this week is very stressful since we are conducting our midterm examination. After I read the instruction for our midterm, I was very excited because it's been a while since I played badminton. But before doing this activity, there are lots of difficulties I encountered. First is to find a shuttlecock. The reason why this is the first difficulty is that because I know that we have many shuttlecock here but unfortunately I can't find it. I was too excited to play this but I don't have a shuttlecock so I got mad to my niece because the last time I saw her, she played all shuttlecock so when the time need it to be used, you can't find it. I decided to buy one piece shuttlecock since I don't have enough money and the price of it is not justifiable. So the second is I need help to give back the shuttlecock to me when I throw it since the forehand and the backhand stroke need to do it three times. So I decided to place my phone on the ground so that my companion can give it back to me quickly. And for the last difficulty, I did the bounce portion many times because the shuttlecock was blown away by the wind since I did the activity in the open area.

But I am happy because after doing this activity we have a chance to play it again and honestly me and my companion really missed to play badminton.

I don't do sports before, but I'm just enjoying doing it during the Face to Face Class. I have encountered some difficulties while doing the activities in Badminton.

I bought a badminton rack since I don't have it and tried to borrow it from my previous classmates. I don't have enough space since our apartment is small. It is hard for me to do the task because I am afraid that it will hit and cause damage to our appliances such as the TV. That's why I only do minimum execution.  It is difficult for me to do this activity since our living room is also where my family is sleeping. I can't give my full attention to the task because of the environment;  the children in our apartment are interrupting, my siblings are attending the online class.  I need to retake the video on my own since there are all busy whenever there's a hindrance. My goal is to finish the task accurately, and it takes 1-2 hours. It is tiring, but I am happy that I finished it.

Since the online class started, those are the things that run on my mind.  I can't complain, but I enjoyed the face-to-face class than this online class. Our situation made me realize that we are not in the same boat and some are not well-privileged.  I am just thankful that all of my Professors in PE, are considerate and know the struggles of every student.

The important for me right now is I did my best and enjoy myself at the same time during this activity hehe.  This Pandemic changes our lives but we will survive this through this setup.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that badminton was one of the easiest sports, and as I'm doing my midterms output, I realized that badminton wasn't that easy as I thought it would be especially when you're playing outdoors.

Before doing the activity, I thought that I would finish it right away. However, I had trouble doing the "bounce" part of the activity because it was quite windy when I was doing my output and the shuttlecock just kept on going elsewhere. I also thought that keeping the shuttlecock in the air 15 times without falling is just a piece of cake but I ended up doing it all over again for a couple times because it wasn't that easy as I expected it to be.

Aside from the difficulties I have experienced doing the sport, I also have troubles of my own that hinders me from doing my best in every task. One of those would be my insecurities which made me a lot scared of showing/sharing my performance in front of others, specially to people that I'm not comfortable with.

Despite having those difficulties and with the ongoing pandemic, I think I did a great job and have done my best in this output. It was hard but I also enjoyed my time playing the sport and doing the activity.

# data[].attributes.body
The difficulties I have encountered when doing the activites are not having someone to record me while doing the activities because my siblings also have a lot to do so they don’t have time to help me with the activity. I need to wait for my mom from work so that she could film me while doing the activity. Another difficulty that I have encountered is having a small space in doing the activity. Since, we are in the pandemic, I can’t do it outside the house. Also, I encountered difficulties in the position in the different strokes. I tend to retake it because of my awkward positions.

Despite of the challenges or difficulties I have encounter, I enjoy playing and knowing a lot of things about badminton even though I’m not that sporty person. I also want to learn more as we continue the lesson in this subject. Thank you and stay safe!

Badminton is one of my favorite sport. However, during the activity, I have encountered some difficulties while executing the different strokes, services, and even the bouncing.

I find it hard to move easily since I was only filming at our garage. When I was doing the bouncing part, it was hard to control the shuttlecock because it keeps on hitting the low ceiling of the garage. Lastly, our naughty dog keep on stealing the shuttlecock whenever I have to start filming.

Nonetheless, I had fun doing this activity since I've been playing badminton since then.

Badminton is indeed a great sport. However, there are difficulties that I have encountered while performing the activities.

1) I find it difficult executing the strokes and services because of the minimal space available.
2) I had a hard time learning the correct and proper execution of the different strokes.

Despite of having these difficulties around, I still enjoyed learning and playing it. Gaining something from it, such as knowledge and enjoying it at the same time is a win-win situation for me. What matters the most is the fact that I have learned and enjoyed badminton.

Badminton is a great alternative sport if you cannot play other sports like basketball and stuff. But, I did not experienced much difficulties because badminton is my favorite sport. Before the pandemic, I always play badminton if given the chance.

I am lucky to have the complete equipment. We have space here in our house that I can go to execute the activities. The activity that we did for our midterms is my favorite.

If there is any difficulty that I experienced then I will say that is when it is time to execute the 15 times bounce. But that is because I had not played badminton for a while that is why I did not have the chance to film that in one take but after several practices, I did it.

# data[].attributes.body
Badminton is a great sport indeed but in the meantime im having difficulties to it a lot like the space, I didnt have much space because our house is just small and also it takes a lot of time for me to create videos due to the fact of repeating all over again because of errors when im trying to avoid hitting something. Second one is the equipment i have my P.E uniform does not fit well to me because I haven't been able to buy the school PE uniform due to the pandemic but in the meantime I'm still using my previous old pe uniform the one I wear during senior high.
Despite of this difficulties I did'nt give up on passing the requirements.Thankfully our P.E professor does give ample time to us in creating our videos.

Doing physical activities with the pandemic keeping us locked within the corners of our home is already difficult itself. As I was performing the tasks, I encountered a few more hurdles, but we have to accept that this is reality and all we have to do is to take a huge leap upon these hurdles.

The first hurdle was the lack of space. It was hard to execute the proper stances and strokes given the limited space. Not only this, but since students are studying at home, it is only realistic and necessary to consider my family's time of using the spaces within the house. With this, I would normally wait for midnight just so I wouldn’t bother them during the day, as they too need their own space at home.

In addition, another challenge for me was filming myself, since I normally film during midnight, considering that it is the only time wherein I can freely use the space around the house, all of them are already resting. In the same way, even though I am close with my family, I tend to get shy especially when another person sees me performing or doing tasks like these.

To conclude, I realized that in every situation, we are bound to experience challenges along the way, but these must not stop us from performing such activities, knowing that it is not only mandatory for grades but also a way to keep our health in check.

I had a several difficulties while I was doing some activities assigned by our professor. Though I didn't let those obstacles hindered my duty to do the educational activities. One of my difficulties was the lack of space, well I am living in a small place with my family so it's somehow arduous what makes it more difficult is that I have 1 nephew and 3 nieces while I am taking picture or video for the proof of evidence they'd go over in front of the cam and pose some random gestures over it therefore I couldn't finish my school works as soon as possible. Hmm I can't literally include the lack of equipment because luckily I have a childhood friend which is a Badminton player wherefore I borrowed the racket and shuttlecock. Nevertheless I was delightful with the activities i.e, the physical fitness testing and the group activity, honestly I don't do exercises after the pandemic arouse then the activities shook off my lazy routines daily. Basically behind those difficulties I have things I'm grateful for.

How will I be able to perform this activity at home? Will I be able to perform the strokes properly? These are just some of the questions that popped up in my head during this activity. Since we are currently learning through online due to the pandemic, it seems like it's impossible to perform physical activities outdoors and we had to perform them at home. That is one of the difficulties that I've encountered during this activity and also for the past activities. I also had to perform this activity at home with limited space so
I wasn't able to move freely.

Another challenge for me is the lack of equipment to use however, I am grateful because I have the most supportive mom who bought me the equipment that I need to use for this activity such as the racket and the shuttlecock. While doing the activity, I also had some difficulties in learning how to properly execute the strokes but I want to give credit to my PED professor for providing us video presentation samples for every activity, so I was able to follow her and perform it properly.

It is truly quite challenging to learn and perform different activities because of the pandemic. Despite these challenges that I've experienced, I am still grateful that I was still able to learn new things and gain some knowledge from activities like this. I know we are all going through different circumstances right now, but I believe we will overcome these challenges in life and we will all meet again someday and do the activities we all used to do such as playing sports.

Hoping everyone's fine. Keep safe and keep going! ♡

Badminton is my favorite sport although I haven’t played it for years especially now that there is a pandemic.  Since I was not able to play badminton for a long time, I had a hard time to find the only shuttlecock that we have in our house.

It is great to find out that I am still interested in playing badminton. It is fun to do the activity but I had encountered difficulties.

I had a hard time to start my video recording because my family keeps on getting something near the place where I am recording videos. Whenever I try to start recording, one of my family members will say excuse me or “saglit lang”. Our house is not that big so I cannot transfer to another area and that leads me to the second difficulty that I have encountered, which is the part where I need to make at least 15 bounces. There are a lot of things that I might hit. I really need to control the strength that I will use so that it won’t go somewhere I can’t hit it.

Another difficulty that I have encountered is my worries about how my videos will look. I am too anxious that what I did in the video was wrong.

Since my shuttlecock is only one, I had a hard time also picking it up again and again especially when it landed under certain things.

Although sport in pandemic is hard, at least I was able to try a glimpse of what badminton really is again.

I used to play badminton when I was a child that is why I chose Badminton as my PE. I thought that I'm still as energetic and flexible like how I was before but I haven't played badminton for so long (about more than 5 years) that is why I had a hard time getting back at it again.

Since there is still a pandemic up until now and there are some restrictions, I need to execute the different strokes and serves inside our house. One of the difficulties that I have encountered while doing my activity was the DISTRACTIONS. Our house is small and each member of our family is always busy with their things (and I can't just stop them from doing it). Every time they walk, talk or make any sounds I easily get distracted by it that's why I need to start the execution all over again.

I also had a hard time doing the Bounce because of the limited space that I have.

This epidemic 🦠poses several obstacles in the lives and health of people all around the planet.  Our bodies are not as healthy as they once were. We don't get enough exercise and don't get enough sunlight because we're cooped up in our houses. We only have a limited amount of time to spend outside and it is difficult to exercise since viruses are present everywhere. However, even at home, the epidemic does not prevent us from studying and engaging in physical activities.

Badminton is one of my favorite sports since it is simple and enjoyable to participate in 😄Fortunately, I still have my badminton racket and shuttlecock from Junior High School. One of my issues is that there isn't enough space to catch or track the bird/shuttlecock in the environment. We don't have enough room in our Barangay, either, because it's not a good idea to go outdoors and just stay at home. In terms of my abilities, I would describe myself as a non-athlete. That is why, though my performance was not ideal, I feel I can do better next time 🙆‍♀️

The temperature is also a factor; now that it's summer,🌞 I'm sweating profusely and need to take frequent breaks to drink enough of water. But, at the end of the day, I appreciate how my sister and I spent the entire time recording and laughing with me when I made errors. It's also refreshing since I believe this sport helps me enhance my agility and quickness. I hope that this situation resolves soon so that we may go outside and play and exercise without restriction 💖.

The difficulties that I've encountered while performing our badminton activities are the location, the person who will accompany me to take a recording, and lastly the bouncing itself.

Firstly, the location. Since our house has a narrow room, I couldn't do any badminton serves or bouncing in here, so I decided to do it at a park nearby us. Doing it at the park is okay but when people pass by, I can't help but stop what I'm doing because I'm shy. Also, since I am in the outdoor, the wind sometimes can be quite strong, resulting my shuttlecock to blown away.

Secondly, the person who will accompany me to record the video. My sister only has time on weekends, since she works on weekdays. For me to be able do this activity, I have to wait until she is free, and I have to do it quickly since it’s her rest day.

And lastly, the bouncing itself. This was really challenging for me because I could only do it 8-10 times. Before I did it, I took a couple of retakes and spent a lot of time. I also think that the bouncing took longer than the two servings I did.

Although I encountered many difficulties in this activity, I still think badminton is fun, especially when the one with you is your family/friend. Because of this activity, I laughed a lot and I had lot of fun memories.

When choosing PE, I specifically choose badminton as this is one of my favorite sports when I was a kid. There are many difficulties that I've encountered, the most difficult one is when my father had a severe case when he got covid19 that put our family at risk. I can no longer handle my time as a student, worker, and a daughter. I even considered to be an individual when doing warm up/cool down but good thing that my group mates considered doing 1 exercise per member. After I did the individual and the group activity, I had a difficulty breathing that I can’t even count my pulse rate anymore and just use oximeter.I also think finding the right area and angle for execution and finding someone to take a video of you is hard.

Overall, despite of the difficulties, I enjoy taking this subject. It feels nostalgic for me to play badminton again. I already learned about badminton before but I already forgot it, this subject help me remember all those details.

This subject is also enjoyable because our professor is considerate and always think about her student’s welfare.

Badminton is one of the sports I used to play back when I was in Junior High School. I used to represent my school in a competition called Meycauayan City Private School Association – Badminton Singles and won bronze medal. During that time, I spent my training for years because I am determined to win the competition.

With regards to the difficulties, I encountered some minimal problems in dealing with the activities. I had no problem performing different kinds of stokes, services, and bounce because of my previous knowledge and experiences. I also had equipment available at home. The thing is that I am not a technie-person. I am having a hard time editing videos. It took me 2 hours to edit a 2-min video. Despite the difficulties, I had fun to get back on what I used to play and have learned more about video editing.

I would also like to take this opportunity to give thanks and appreciation to our professor in PED – Badminton, Prof. Caballero, for her time and effort just to give us a recorded lecture and demonstration of the activities that will be performed, and for being a considerate professor. Thank you and God bless everyone!

To start with, I did not expect performing the tasks given to display the skills for badminton to be that difficult. I remember, I said that I will be finishing everything needed in just a few moments as it will not take much time (because I aimed to finish filming everything in one day, including the midterms). Yes, I managed to finish it all in the afternoon but I underestimated the time I will actually consume.

What really is a problem for me was to find a good place to do the activities as our house is small and definitely not spacious enough to perform physical activities. So I went outside our house to do my performances. Yes, there were people outside who pass by and stare but I honestly did not care until some will pass by very close to me when I was already filming.  Another opponent to finish the task as I was filming outside is the wind that always blows the shuttlecock away from me. I definitely gave me a difficult time for me  to execute 15 continuous bounces. Nevertheless, I managed to finish all the tasks after 3 hours.

Well, after all I am really sad to have not experienced this badminton class physically, because this is my favourite sport even though I am not that sporty in real life. I could have learned more and enjoyed more if we all took this class physically :<

Thank you, Ma'am for your effort to teach in this class despite all the barriers and difficulties we are facing. Your nice comments from the last output definitely made my day when I read it. :>

I’ve encountered a lot of difficulties while doing the activity. First of all, im not the sporty type of person since i easily gets tired when performing physical activities tho i love working out. Next, when i tried to do the activity on third floor, the shuttlecock keeps blowing by the wind, i was afraid that it might fall so i’ve decided to film in living room. I maximized the space of our living room, i moved some furnitures to be able to execute the proper strokes and stances given the space. I’ve spent 2-3 hours doing the bounce, as you can see, our living room is gloomy so i barely see what i was doing. I was also being careful and avoiding the lights, figurines and appliances around me. I may have failed to execute the bounce part but I did my best to finish the activity despite of these circumstances.

Anyways, i still enjoyed playing it. What’s important is i’ve learned something and i know i can do better next time. I appreciate our professor for providing clear instructions, recorded lectures and video samples that serves as our guide, I appreciate her effort and time so much and also for being a considerate professor, Thank you ma’am, God bless always!

Badminton is a fun sport.  When I was younger, I used to play it with my cousins whenever we visit them. Now, I chose badminton because I want to play that sport again. In doing the activities given in this subject, I encountered some problems that hindered me in executing the activity effectively.

One of the difficulties I’ve encountered is the location. In the bouncing activity, you must move your body when chasing the shuttlecock since it moves in different directions. Our house just small and is too congested because of the furniture which takes up a lot of space. The only space that I think is enough is our backyard which I first cleared the area by putting the stuff aside. Also, the proper execution of the strokes became a challenge for me which I had to record several times because of the mistakes.  Another difficulty is had a hard time editing my video since I have no knowledge in video editing.  For this reason, I spent a lot of time trying to find a site or app that is not complicated to use which I can edit my video easily.

Despite these challenges, I had fun doing the activity and became more interested in playing this sport especially with the guide of our kind Professor which is also very considerate and interactive who cares about her students’ safety during these times.

I used to believe that badminton was a simple sport. You're ready to go if you know how to grab the shuttlecock and grip the racket, but I was wrong.

While I was working on my midterm output, I realized that it is much more difficult than I expected. I hoped it would be as easy as one take, but it isn't. I began filming myself at 4 PM and finished before 6 PM. It took me almost two hours to bounce the shuttlecock at least 15 times.

But in the end, I found that I'm gradually learning the correct way to play badminton. Unlike in the past, I participated in this sport but know little about it.

To be honest, in this climate we are experiencing right now which is so hot, it's such a struggle for me to do this inside our house, plus the temperature inside of our house is so warm that's why I can't resist myself to sweat a lot while performing, the fact that electric can't assist me also, because of the instances that it will just sway away the shuttlecock every time I serve it with my racket.

It's also a struggle for me to find an adequate space to do this activity, because the lighting of our house is just so pale and quite dark, also the interiors of our house looks ugly to be filmed. I cannot even do this activity outside of our house, because the rain poured in our place. Time is additional struggle, because of the consecutive misterm exams that happened this week that I became sleep deprives, so just wanted to regain all the sleep I lost this week by having some rest for today.

Despite of this struggles, I still learned from your activities ma'am and I can imagine how this will be so enjoyable if we do this in the PLM field. I really wanted to see you ma'am and the rest of my classmates in the future. Also, thank you ma'am for being carefree and understanding in this kind of situation we are going through.

I am not really a sporty type of person but I know how to play badminton when I was a child. I chose this as my PE subject because I think I still know how to play and I can pass this. However, I honestly encountered lots of difficulties in executing those badminton activities. It even got to the point that it had affected my mental health but I stayed strong and managed to finish it properly.

As I was doing my midterm video, I managed to execute properly the forehand and the backhand serve. However, doing the bouncing part is really an exhausting part for me. It took me two days of trying before I hit the 15x bouncing.  It's been really hard for me, to the point that I broke down. I got emotional because I don't know if I can do the 15x bounce and I don't know what's wrong, if is it me or it's just my equipments that I have bought for only P97 which includes the badminton racket and the shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is too light weight and when I am hitting it with the racket, it gets stucked on the net of the badminton racket. It really tested my patience. I got mad, exhausted, I lose my temper, I cannot control my anger since I have anger management issues and I just ended up crying on our street where I am trying to do the activity then that's when I stopped. I took a rest and decided to just pass it even if I did not hit the 15x bouncing.

After a few days, I feel determined to do the activity again. I tried again to execute it. I've extended my patience. I've keep myself calm. After a few tries, I hit the 15x bouncing and I spoke to myself, "Finally! I can now sleep peacefully!".

These difficulties I have been encountered will serve as a lesson to me. I have learned that I can do everything, I just really need to be patient. Also, to do not give up even after many tries. At the end, everything will be worth it. I know that we are getting tired because of our everyday tasks and it is really draining us. I have learned that when tired, it is a must to take a rest, that there's nothing wrong in taking a rest. Once we're fine, we can now function again. 🙂

Padayon! ❤️

As a student, there are a lot of difficulties I encountered while doing or executing the activities. Badminton can perfectly played in outdoor, but because of the situation right now, we are not allowed to go outside and that makes the task harder.

The last task, which is the bouncing, is the most difficult task. We have a limited space in our house and I can’t perfectly executed the task. The task can easily be done outside but I’m not allowed to go outside especially now. My mother will undergo an operation next week or can go early or late depending on the clearance of her doctor. Due to my mother situation, we are not to allowed to go outside as much as needed to protect our mother especially that she and my sister will undergo swab test before the operation.

Regardless to my problems of limited space, I still did my best to finished and executed the task properly. I just hope that I had a chance to do it outside. Pandemic really changes the way we live, and as a human we have no choice but to live with it. Like what they always says ,“change is hard but it is necessary.”

I just hope for the best for our country. We are dealing this situation for one year and it’s really hard to cope up. My mother is supposed to be operated this week but because of the situation right now, there a lot of process needs to be done first before she admit. We can’t also visit her in hospital because we need to undergo swab test before we visit her but the swab test in our country is expensive. Nonetheless, I just hope a better tomorrow for everyone.

This distance learning is not really applicable to my own way of studying. However, I must adapt to this kind of setup since we are experiencing a pandemic.

These are the things which I think makes every activities difficult to do:

-First, i don't have a spacious area to conduct my activities. I only have the sala which is commonly the place in the house where my family usually stay.

-Second, I have no one to help me document my activities. I am the eldest in the house and my parents are usually out for work. Gladly, my younger sister is more than willing to help me though some of her videos are quite shakey 😅

-Lastly, my laptop where I edit most of my videos just left me. It was already not in the good shape and can't even function well. I only have a phone which is also the thing I used for my synchronous classes.

I love playing badminton since it is one of the few sports I played. And it made me sad that I wasn't able to play it in school during our PE classes. It was hard yet I was able to pull off everything. I can never forget the time I was filming for my midterm output. I was driven by bouncing the shuttlecock in the racket that I was already near the television. Unfornately, I accidentaly hit it. The only good thing was no one is with me during the crime 😌 I was also lucky that it wasn't broken and still working. Because if ever it was, I will be homeless. There are times wherein my phone's storage was full due to numerous videos before I could make a better one. More bloopers, more laughters and errors to come. Yes, it was hard but unforgettable and something I can add up to my book of life.

Ma'am, thank you for being so considerate. I really do appreciate your effort to teach us the basics of badminton. It may be online learning but the fun flows through our screens. Classmates, we are almost there. I may not know most of you but it was nice meeting you all. I feel so welcome and belong.

We can do this. Padayon and Stay Safe
