I cried, especially about my grade in Practical Research, because I felt like I did more than enough for my group yet I got a grade that was not Exemplary. Because of this, I doubted my skills and competence. However, this also inspired me to do better in the next term in the same subjects.]]> 2021-03-26 01:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355612397 christhiapelago https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355618714 Around January 2021, we went to our Tita's house in Tanay, Rizal for vacation. I felt extreme joy while we were there because I was able to focus more on ministering my family's needs , and focus on myself since I had a social media detox while we were there. I woke up early every morning just to sit outside and appreciate nature, I felt that I reconnected with God as well.]]> 2021-03-26 01:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355618714 christhiapelago https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355632431 Last February 2021, we stayed at Sulyap Boutique Hotels with my Daddy Cian, who went home from Malaysia in December 2020 (he's an OFW there), along with my boyfriend Jasper.

I felt so loved and celebrated. I was so happy especially about my cake (it has trigonometric functions designed on it since it's my favorite subject).]]> 2021-03-26 01:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355638381 christhiapelago https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355642123 Experiencing tons of groupworks this school year is life-depleting for me because it often made me anxious. Working with other people in an online set-up is inefficient and difficult since we work, sleep, and do other stuff at different rhythms. Until today, I still feel social anxiety whenever I need to work with others, even if they're my friends.]]> 2021-03-26 01:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355642123 christhiapelago https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355658019 Our tito, Daddy Cian, who works in Malaysia, had to leave again last February 2021 for work. It was life-depleting for me because he was the one who showed love and care for us whenever we felt down about school and personal stuff. I miss him.]]> 2021-03-26 01:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/christhiapelago/31PELAGOSycamoreTree/wish/1355658019
