The New Normal (Covid-19)

Life amid Pandemic
The new normal

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health crisis on January 30, 2020. 

As people are the most vulnerable to this virus, the pandemic has changed the lives of billions. The whole world was in total shock. It created an enormous chaos where people started to panic and fear getting inflicted by the deadly virus, COVID-19.

When the news reported the global health crisis, different countries in the world started to take action. The lockdown was lifted and health protocols were implemented. Some questioned the new rules, and some just followed them. So, what are the changes that this pandemic has brought to people or the New Normal?


1. Social distancing or Physical distancing
As one of the implemented protocols, people should maintain enough distance to prevent the virus from spreading.






2. Wash Your Hands Frequently
People washed their hands before the virus spread, but not in the same way that people now wash their hands. It’s pretty much becoming a good habit.




3. Hand Sanitizer
People on the street have their own hand sanitizer. Best when washing your hands isn’t possible. 





4. Wearing masks and face shields
Masks are likely suffocating people, especially because you need to wear them close enough. Those with breathing issues can’t really take this, especially those with asthma. Now it has a lot of designs and is trendy.





5. No gatherings 
As social distancing is being implemented, gatherings are not allowed. Parties, on many occasions, are only possible with a limited number of people or just within the family.







6. Online or Modular Class 
When the pandemic started, most schools decided to have an online class and some other schools chose modular or printed materials so as not to risk the health of their students and teachers, and at the same time, they could still learn at their respective homes.




Finally, it seems that there were lots of changes from the beginning of this pandemic until this very day, and those weren’t just the changes, but there were a lot. It has both advantages and disadvantages, but still, we slowly became accustomed to these changes and were able to conform to this new normal that not just oneself is affected but the global world. Despite all of this, the frontliners, leaders, parents, and all the people are doing their best to survive and protect the people and their loved ones. Let’s continue to follow the protocols and keep safe.

How did Tom and Jerry made my childhood extra special?

 '' I could never imagine how a cat and a mouse made my childhood extraordinary, but it really did!'' https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry When I was a kid, Tom and Jerry were part of my daily story. I can't call it a day without a glimpse of that cartoon series! It's like, without them, it's a bad day, and when I see them, it's beyond being happy! Simply, they're always part of my day! Since my childhood days, life hasn't been that gentle. Although I'm too young to be that perplexed by life, I really was a problematic child. I rarely go outside or go somewhere away from home with friends because I'm too afraid to get scolded by my parents. So I spent my time more at home, doing the chores, especially taking good care of my little siblings. Unlike my brothers, who can just freely wander at a distance, I can't! Yes, I was jealous of how brave and hardheaded they were, but I think I needed to keep being the good one....

Anne Ursu's ''Spilling Clarence''

"Imagine living in a small community and unexpectedly, an outbreak of something inexplicable happens." A special book review of Anne Ursu's "Spilling Clarence" Didn't expect this book to be this good. The story is kind of simple, but I liked it! Imagine living in a small community and unexpectedly, an outbreak of something inexplicable happens. Today's world can relate to this book since we are currently facing the pandemic, but it differs from the fatality as the spilled chemical/element they called "deletrium" doesn't kill, but it somewhat makes you feel depressed. Still not good, of course. Also, it only circles inside the small community of Clarence. I think it's perfect for me because I overthink a lot and am fond of imagining things from the past (cause I'm krazy lol). But I'm all better now! So imagine that the outbreak causes people to look back at the past. Most especially your regrets! Now most of the adults in your to...
