At the time, I was reluctant since I realized that if I get elected there would be added responsibilities in grade 12. Moreover, I also have to worry about college applications and academics. In the end, I ran and I did not expect to be elected because there were around six people running including myself. Serving my org and working with my co-officers has been the greatest experience during this online school. Honestly, I would rather do org work than acads because there's something fulfilling in serving your organization. To add to that, I made great friends. Me and my fellow officers were complete strangers and when we got to know each other we just bonded and vibed so well. This past year, we created multiple and successful projects and we hope to continue this until the end of the school year. ]]> 2022-02-04 01:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028678007 alaikahsarmiento1 https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028678179 Me and my family loved pets, especially dogs. One of our dogs who have lived with us for almost 11 years passed away last January 31, 2022. Her name is Princess. She was given to us last May 2011, right after I recovered from Dengue. She was the first dog who I took care off. We had a lot of great memories together. I remembered the time when she was still energetic. She would run around the house 25 times, 25 laps. Everyday it would be the same exact number, it was her exercise and routine. But this past year she can barely walk up the stairs and she was obviously old and weak. The last moment I had with her was when I am removing the ticks from her body. I pat her and and caressed her soft fur. The next day my mom said that she died and Princess decided to lay herself on our garden. I was in tears but I am sure she is already in peace wherever she is. ]]> 2022-02-04 01:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028678179 alaikahsarmiento1 https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028679043 Last December, I had the opportunity to have a face-to-face piano lesson. It was really fun and I missed my piano teacher so much. We haven't really seen each other during the pandemic and we only had our piano lessons through zoom. We just met a total of three times in December since she needs to personally guide me because I will be playing the final piece for the recital. In the end, it was fun and I can say that face-to-face lessons are much better than online class. ]]> 2022-02-04 01:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028679043 alaikahsarmiento1 https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028683138 I was not able to get in the top 500 for LeapMed and I was saddened by it for the whole day. I feel like I just wasted the P3000 application fee. At present, I'm not really affected by it anymore since UST or Leapmed is not my top choice. Although I was anxious because what if I can't get to my dream school since I was not able to get into LeapMed. ]]> 2022-02-04 02:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028683138 alaikahsarmiento1 https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028688965 This past Christmas and New Year, I was able to visit and sleep over at my cousin's place in Makati. I really missed them since I live here in Marikina so I cannot regularly visit them. We were able to catch up about different things such as school and we also played some online games such as genshin impact. ]]> 2022-02-04 02:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028688965 alaikahsarmiento1 https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028690211 During the second week of January, I got a fever. It was asynchronous that day but I was not able to read all of the posts because I feel lightheaded and I felt hot and cold at the same time. What's worse is that I was alone at home at that time. It was a Monday so both of my parents were at work and our kasambahay was on a day off. I just went to sleep for the whole day and good thing my temperature decreased in the afternoon although I still felt weak at that time. It was a rough week but good things there was a healthbreak. ]]> 2022-02-04 02:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alaikahsarmiento1/6u2qswaf45a6g46v/wish/2028690211
