After the burial of Tito yesterday, I realized that in life, we are afraid to be alone, that is why we are afraid to die since when we die, we are all alone in a casket. A casket will be our last room. In living life, we have to treat each other like we're gonna leave others the next day. To let everyone feel how it is not to be alone. No matter how, we have to love each other.

Wednesday, what a gloomy day. The Lord has given and the Lord has taken away. This day, we have lost a family member. COViD has taken down a family member. This leads to a realization that in life, we never know when our time will stop, nevertheless we have to live life like it's never lived before that when our time comes, we will be able to go with no regrets.

2nd day of the week. Another day has come. What am I going to do this day? I mean what will I do first? Sometimes in life, since we are bombarded with a lot of errands and responsibilities, we get lost. By getting lost, it endangers our duties. In times like this, we have to feel what needs to go first. Our priorities are the ones telling us what matters to us most.

Monday morning, another morning, another week. It's still okay, everything's gonna be okay. Now, on this day, we are already happy since we've finished our 14 days quarantine. In life, we are also sometimes quarantined. There are times when we are held back from what we want, but we don't realize that it's for the betterment of ourselves and the society that we live in. Sometimes we need to hold back to protect everyone.

Another Sunday that I am not able to go to church because of quarantine, but I know that even though I am not there physically, God is still blessing me continually. Being able to live until this day is already a blessing. Though I was not able to receive the things I want, God never failed to give me the things I need. How great is our God. I love you, Lord! Thank You!

Today, I have again learned the art of collaboration. It has been very challenging due to the distance between us. Nevertheless, we have performed the task very well. As a writer, we have to be open minded that creativity might and will brighten our mins. Open but not too open that it can lead to scrambling of ideas. In everything there must be balance. As we collaborate, we have to communicate not only with words, but also with our hearts that we might and can understand each other. Communication and understanding are the key towards a success and a better play.

Sayo sa kabuntagon, nakamata ako tungod sa ka kusog sa tingog sa motor. Samtang nagsuwat ko niini, nakahuna-huna ako na ang kinabuhi mura rasad ug motro. Kinahanglan sa paglubag hinay-hinay ra aron di kita madisgrasya. Sa kinabuhi kinaghanglan hinay-hinay lang usab atong pagarangkada, di kinahanglan magdali kay dili karera ang kinabuhi. Hinay-hinay lang, maka-abot ra lagi ta kung asa ta padulong.

Friday, the day many students were all excited, that was pre-pandemic. At this new normal, Fridays are days like the other days. There is no more this excitement when there will be no classes for the next 2 days. Now we live Friday like just a normal day. I love how Fridays come, and still I love Fridays. The time and feels may change, but Fridays for me will always stay the same.

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, such a cold morning. It makes me want to stay in bed longer but no. Dear Lord, from all the evil that surrounds me, defend me. Defend me from this temptation of going back to sleep, there are still a lot of things to do. No time for bed. I realize that in life, we have to make decisions, whether we decide to stay down or stand up and rise to fight for another challenges of the day.

What a wonderful to be alive and kicking. As I breath today, I pray for all those people who are having a hard time breathing. May God blow his healing breath upon them. Today, I am excited of what this day holds. What God has prepared for me in this time. i am ready since by the time I open my eyes to the time I close them, God will always be beside me. He is there to fight with me.

Ah yes, what a wonderful day to be alive. Let me think of what my assignment would be about. I want something that everyone knows. How about our life to life happenings, nah, maybe let's go for a wedding theme. Yes, I want my script to be somehow real and relatable but I want it with a twist. Let me do some research about a wedding scene in a movie.

New day, another day of online classes. Another day of facing one's gadget for hours. Another day of learning. In a life full of "another", I can never ask for another life. As I wake up today, another challenge awaits, but still, I'm still the old me. I realize it's not about new things, but being able to retain your good old self as we learn new ways.

Sunday morning, I'm a bit sad since I can't go to church because of this quarantine. Nevertheless, I am thankful to God as I open my 2 eyes today. As I look at my green clock, it continues to tic-toc, meaning my time has not yet come. My time is always for the Lord. As I listen to the tic of the clock, all I hear is "You can, you can:, I can because I have my God.

"Kapit is the word of the day" Ma'am J-mee states. A story must have something to cling on, The character must have his own reasons why he's acting that way. For audience to feel the  story, the audience must understand the reasons behind. These reasons must not be stated all at once during the beginning of the show but must be unfolded along the way. This is such since it makes the story intriguing. This unfolding can also shock not only the actors portraying but also the audience or readers. With the help of these mysteries, it builds the story and pushes the story. It is also important that we externalize the internal since it can help the readers imagine and act what we, writers, want to portray. With all these, we must to remember  that our works or scripts are considered as a recipe.

Finally, It is already Saturday morning, another week has passed, looking forward to the 3rd session we will be attending with Ma'am J-mee. This week has been full of ups and downs, but because God is always there, I managed this week. As I hear the birds singing, I realized that even them survived everyday because of God's grace, how much more, me.

Another day has come, I feel so hungry, my stomach has been making noises like it's telling me "Hey human! Feed me!". My eyes are still sleepy like its telling "Hey human, shut me down for only just 5 minutes" but no, I can't shut it down because 5 minutes is the first scammer I have ever encounter, you wake up at 6:25 and sleep for 5 minutes then voila, it's already 7:30.

As I wake up this morning, I have a lot of things to do for my school and organization. There are worries in me as I acquire the knowledge last night that my Tito tested positive for CoVID-19 and I am a close contact since I was able to drive him to the Provincial Hospital last Monday for his regular dialysis and that was the day he also tested positive. We are already in quarantine and unfortunately I have nothing in my mind as I am still in a blank state of mind.

# data[].attributes.body
I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. I saw it is already 7:29 in the morning. There are a lot of assignments that are given by the school. So I feel bombarded with these activities, nevertheless, I am grateful since I have the capacity to study despite the pandemic. Life may be tough, but I know there's more in life than just these activities. I will surely live a life that I will remember and in connection with God's will.

Writing is where you communicate and connect with people. Connecting with people(audience or readers) can only be possible if your output is understandable. It can be comprehensible if it has complete details or detailed in its words itself. It is important to make your work as if when somebody reads it, even without your presence, they can understand it. In writing also, most especially if it is a story, it will have a great impact if along the way there will be revelations. As a writer it will always be a challenge to find things to reveal and make your story exciting to the readers. Despite this challenge, a writer must always know how to find his piece substantial and fun to its readers.

Sa isang silid na may berdeng dingding, nakaupo si Jenz sa harap ng tablet habang nasa likod naman ni Jenz ay dilaw na kurtinang nagsisilbi niyang background. Kinuha niya ang asul na ballpen sa kanyang harapan katabi ng tablet. Habang pinapawisan ang kanyang kamay, sumulat siya sa isang dilaw na papel at nagsabi.

JENZ:
Labis akong nagagalak sa mga natutunan ko ngayon dahil magagamit ko ito sa aking pagiging manunulat

Pagkatapos ay tinakpan na niya ng takip ang asul niyang ballpen at ibinahagi ang kanyang isinulat sa kanyang mga kasamahan.

SETTING:
In a bedroom having white walls, brown wood tiles, and a white ceiling. With a big queen-sized bed. A window beside the bed.

Maria enters her room. She heads to the window. She opens the window outward to breathe in the sweet breeze. She holds her phone as she inhales and exhales. She receives a text message. She cries as she read the message. Maria walks slowly to the drawer and picks up the paper. She slowly sits down on top of the cozy foam on her bed. She breathes heavily as she reads a piece of paper. She cries again as she reads what's on the paper. She stands up and walks to the switch. She switches off the lights. She heads to her bed. The door suddenly opens. At the door was a tall man in his pajamas and oversized shirt, it is her husband, Joe.

JOE:
Why are you crying?
MARIA:
(Crying) I received a text message and I read a piece of paper.
JOE:
What did the text message say?
MARIA:
(Sobbing) Tomorrow is the birthday of your child, I left a piece of paper on top of the black drawer beside the white telephone.
JOE:
Then what was written in the paper?
MARIA:
It says "You only paid Php 9,000, half the price of the Lechon package I ordered online" and yes, for me as I look at the picture it is not worth it if we pay the whole Php 20,000.
JOE:
(Surprised) What? Only half? What about the rest of the balance?
MARIA:
(Yawning) Let's just talk about it tomorrow after I hide the chicken cordon.

Maria sleeps in her bed. Joe got upset with Maria and leaves the room as he strongly closes the door.

Usa ka gabie, sa akong paglangyaw ngadto sa luag nga dalan, akong nakaplagan, ang usa ka purseras, purseras na perlas, nga anaay katas-on na isa ka dangaw, ngadto sa akong dan na akong gilakwan. Nakita ko usab nga anaay bulawang porma na kasing-kasing. Niyuko ako ug gikuha kini, ug sa akong paghangad sa kahitas-an, nakita ko ang mga bituon sa kalangitan. Ug akong nahinumdoman, kung unsa ang akong nabatian. Nabatian sa panahong ako usab gitagaan, gitagaan ang tawong gipitik sa akong dughan, sa purselas na perlas diin sa akong paghatag nakita ko ang mga bituon sa iyang mga mata. Mga mata na dili ko na makita, dili ko na makita kay sa lain niuban na siya.

What a fine day to be alive. Thanking the Lord for waking me up this day. In this world where a lot of people have met the angel of death, here I am opening 2 precious gifts, my eyes. In an era where a bunch of people are struggling to breath and clinging on to life supports, here I am inhaling the sweet morning breeze. It's just exciting to wake up everyday knowing that what lies ahead is uncertain. I'm always thankful to the Lord for His goodness to me. Starting my day with a prayer always assures me that no matter what happens, it is God's will and plan.

As I call to mind and reflect on the first session I had attended. I was able to understand more about being a writer. Writing is a way where people can set themselves free. I was able to realize that writing itself is already a performance. That as a writer, we can have the sense of vulnerability. Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather strength. In writing, one of the things to keep in mind is that, to be more creative and see things in an imaginative perspective, we have to tap our inner child. In writing, one must also learn how to read, read books, news, and not only written materials, but also we can read the happenings around us, the people, and the environment.

Galing ako sa katawan ni Lola na puno ng sunog at sugat.
