My Screen Break by Joan Velarde

My 1st ever Camayan Beach Resort Visit

joanvelarde — 2021-11-11 02:34:37 UTC

Last November 6 at 11:30 A.M, we traveled going to Subic Bay Philippines. We reached our 1st choice of hotel in the New Horizon (if I am not mistaken haha :D) unfortunately, the 1st hotel was fully booked because of the marines who made a reservation. We were able to get to Grand Hoya hotel to stay for the rest of the night. The next day, we traveled from Grand Hoya hotel to Camayan Beach Resort. We were so surprised that butane gas ranges were not allowed inside. So, we were like, "Paaano lunch natin Kuya. Bawal daw po butane." Then, one of our Kuyas who is quick in thinking solutions, he said to call Mamet and since they are still in the market tell them to buy some foil and barbeque sticks. Olah! We managed to enjoy our lunch on the beach! Camayan Beach Resort is really beautiful. It seems a lot of people missed going out since it was announced that we were in Alert #2. But still, we all watched safety protocols while being inside of the resort. It was a long story and a long journey but it was worth it! :)

What I did during our Screen Break

2021-11-11 03:53:18 UTC

During our screen break I didn't do much. I stayed at my uncle's house and mostly I did my homeworks since I still haven't submitted a lot and I just played video games and rested a lot. I slept a lot during the afternoon cause I usually wake up early and I played a lot with my uncle's dogs. Although I did wish that we could go to the beach or a resort but I won't be allowed to go since I was below the age of 18 but even though I didn't get to leave the house too much but I still enjoyed our screen break.

Escape <3

2021-11-11 03:55:58 UTC

Last 3rd of November 2021, I was vaccinated. It was a relief to see that most of the minors decided to get vaccinated too. After getting vaccinated, I was able to go out with my mom. I was able to have a sleepover. I was able to spend time with my friends, and spend time with the people I value the most. It was indeed a nice break from online classes which made us all tired and drained. It was one of the best times in my life. It was like an escape from reality, it made me really happy. Seeing how our country slowly goes back to how it was before, little by little.

My hot spring break in Laguna

2021-11-11 03:56:07 UTC

Last November 1, we went to Amanzara Bali House Resort Indigo, Calamba, Laguna. I had so much fun because of the warm water in the pool. It wasn't just us family, we were with some churchmates too. We ate a lot of food and we sang in the kari oke. It was the best rest I've experienced after a long time of quarantine.

Getting Vaccinated

shaun_andama — 2021-11-11 03:56:24 UTC

So last week I finally got vaccinated to protect myself against COVID-19. I got the Pfizer vaccine and I was really excited to get it. I was expecting it to hurt though when it was injected I didn't really feel any pain. After I got vaccinated they gave us some chocolate for getting the vaccine and we went home afterwards. My arm was hurting a little bit but right now it's feeling much better now. As for my second dose it will be at November 29 and I'm also excited for that too :D . Aside from getting a vaccine though I just picked up Rainbow Six Siege which was one of the games on my list that I was planning to get. I got a really good offer on the game too as it was normally priced at 750 Pesos but there was a sale on the site that I bought it on so I only got it for 300. After a couple of days playing I got one of the rarer skins in the game which was a Black Ice skin for the Operator "Ash".

Knowing your worth <3

2021-11-11 03:56:45 UTC

This sem break made me focus more on finding my worth. We all have that one moment where in we are being taken for granted, manipulated or sometimes we just accept the pain that someone gives us so that they won't go. I have a hard time letting go of things or let's say I have attachment issues so I always put others before me or my feelings because losing someone is really hard for me but during this sem break a friend of mine made me feel how I should really be treated and made me see my worth <3 I deserve more than how they treat me, we all deserve better and I've realized that if they leave it's not my loss anymore because I know to myself that I am an amazing woman and there's no one like me!

and also let's not waste our time on toxic relationships with our family or friends because we should surround ourselves with the people who makes us feel better each day and those people who helps us grow 🤍

Family-Time at Eastwood

2021-11-11 03:58:21 UTC

My screen break was full of ups and downs, lots of breakdowns and smiles as well. Spent most of my time doing chores, hanging out with friends, and sleep. It was nothing special more of my usual daily things that i do but i did got my rest too. My family didn’t went out a lot when it was my screen break but yesterday (i know it’s not considered a screen break anymore but that was the first time i went outside again in a while from october-november) we went to eastwood to buy donuts and stroll around the fine buildings and places and took photos as well. After that we went to marikina heights park and ate our dinner there and we also strolled around the park, treasuring each step and fun me and my family made because we won’t be able to go out in a while again.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MY SCREEN BREAK!

2021-11-11 03:59:07 UTC

Last November 3, 2021, I started painting again after taking 2 months break to focus on school activities and Inktober. Although i keep creating art with ink, I still missed painting. Inktober was fun but nothing really beats home—which is painting. It was just a simple painting but I felt happy and relaxed. I was trembling when I started because I don't know where to start since I used ink for a whole month. Gladly, I came back to painting and felt relaxed. "What matters about art is how you feel about it."

Getting the Vaccine

2021-11-11 04:00:05 UTC

So last November 5 I got my first vaccine! PHIZER, getting the vaccine wasnt that interesting all that happened was getting the shot seeing Mayor Marcy getting 10 bags of chocolate and then i went home but the most interesting thing that happened was getting the side effects. So when the vaccine i thought i was gonna be bed ridden for 3 - 5 days but what actually happened is that my arm had a sheer amount of pain like for 2 days moving my arm even like a slight bit would send this massive wave of pain to arm and my arm was constantly on fire it was hot its like instead of me getting the fever it was my arm, but it only lasted for 3 day, the 3rd being a chill day after the pain dissapeared, so that was fun! but thats really the only interesting thing that happened during my screen break!

BIKE

2021-11-11 04:00:13 UTC

^{Last November 3, me, my sister, and grandmother went to the playground near NGI. It was fun being able to ride a bike again, it was long time ago since I last rode a bike. Last November 5, we ate KFC and gone to playground with my brother, my sister, and my grandmother. We also bought milktea. November 7, after church, I went home and just played videogames with my friends and chat with them.}

After we had our vaccination, we went to mall at quezon wich is centris mall and we had so much fun. After that, we went at my cousins house. We ordered pizaa while having fun and playing games.

Phantom Forces Grind + Love Live!

2021-11-11 04:06:39 UTC

I spent my screen break playing Phantom Forces and watching anime. I quite enjoyed it, to be honest.

For the first day Roblox was down, but on the second, it was up. I took my chance to grind that game up until last Tuesday. There was also a time where I unwillingly carried my team and got the MVP of the match as a result. I didn't last saturday because of both money and the fatigue + stress I felt throughout the week due to the accidental carry and the DT11 PRO user I encountered the previous day. Last Tuesday, which was also the final day of the break and my late mother's death anniversary, I managed to rank up to Rank 70, achieved my goal of surpassing the kill count I had on the Remington 700 with the CheyTac M200 Intervention and had my best K/D in a game with it yet (21:2 with a 10.25 K/D ratio). I also had the most intense match I had while using the G36. It was King of the Hill in the map "Highway Lot". There was a moment where I unexpectedly got a multi-kill when a grenade I threw earlier managed to kill 3 players. I eventually spotted and killed 2 more with the G36 to finish of the multi-kill. It was so intense that I didn't join the next match.

Apart from Phantom Forces, I also watched an anime called "Love Live! School Idol Project", and got to the point that I would stay up late just to catch a good wi-fi signal. I stayed up to late on the final movie, and it was very worth it.

Also, about my mother's death anniversary, I went to the church here in Kabulusuan, Laguna to pray for her well-being in the afterlife whilst wishing for the protection of me, and my family.

Moving Houses

2021-11-11 04:12:44 UTC

What I did during the screen break was that me and my family were planning to move houses, so we spent the past days packing all of out things in the house. There was so many things that my back was so painful that I thought that my back was going to break but it didn't. So after we spent the past days packing it was time to move and say good bye to my house and see the brand new house. It was fun packing and unpacking things but I enjoyed it, a lot and yea. And I even got vaccinated which was crazy!. You can see the all process on my Youtube Channel Link is here> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bEtIZxYztU
