2nd to the last day of immersion, just another usual day at TEI. Go to work, scan,
photocopy, print, encode and lots more. But this day makes me feel a bit sad
because I’m only a day away before I would depart from this place. I learned a lot
from this place even though I know for myself that it didn’t really help me about
what it feels to be as a civil engineer.

And I thank God for guiding me this day and for protecting me as I go home.

March 3, 2020

And here’s the day, our last day of work immersion. I feel happy and sad at the
same time. I will surely miss that place. Met a lot of people, had fun learning how
to read the meters and encode them, well of course the never ending paper works
and the vibe inside the office especially with the people we were working with. Oh
and I almost forgot, of course the unlimited snacks that they’ve been giving us
every single day hahaha.

And I thank God for giving us and opportunity to work there and letting us meet
the people working there. And for always guiding us every day and protecting us
until we got home.

Back to school! Phew, how I love to see the classroom again and my classmates
and my teachers as well. How I miss sleeping…. What I mean is learning inside
the classroom, although I still miss the work immersion itself. As soon as I entered
the classroom I can hear everyone sharing their own experiences of their work
immersion. How I love to hear their voices again.
And I thank god for this day for guiding me on the way to school and back home
and also my classmates.

March 5, 2020

Back to another usual school day, learn new lessons and other activities and stuff.
Just like any other day.

But still I thank god for guiding me this day and to continue guiding me for the
next days.

March 6, 2020

Well today was a bit of stressful as we had 2 unit test. But it was not that hard
because I was able to have a good review last night and it paid off. And because of
the stress this day I totally forgot that it was a Friday and we were only half day. I
can’t help but laugh at myself for being so forgetful. And a bit later while I was on
the jeep on the way home, there was this little kid that suddenly jumped onto the
jeep and then started giving out these little like envelopes while saying that “Could
you give out some spare for me just to help me and my family?” And so I decided
to give some of my change, but as I was about to give my change to him I noticed
that some of the passengers were laughing at this boy and tried to bully him a little
but the boy didn’t care and it seems like he was just immune to these kind of
happenings. After that he quickly jumped off the jeep. Good thing the jeep was not
running that fast. People nowadays really has this mindset of not respecting those
who strive to have something, money or food, in order to survive. Just because
they could afford something big doesn’t mean you have to belittle someone else.

And I just silently prayed for the little boy and his family for them to survive what
life they are facing. And I also prayed for the people who just laughed at him. And
I thank God for guiding me through this day.

Lazy Monday zzzzzz. Anyway it is yet another usual school day. The same old
routine goes along, go to school, learn new things and stuffs and oh I remembered
that we practiced bandaging this day and the injury that was assigned for me to
bandage was the scalp injury. I practiced really well for this performance task
hopefully it would turn out good tomorrow.

And I thank God for this day, for guiding and watching over me during the day
until I got home safely.

March 10, 2020

This day was pretty much a casual day at school. And today was the performance
task for DRRR. Now I really don’t know a thing about this bandaging, and I just
thought of it for academic purposes, but then I realized that this would be helpful
in the near future in case somebody would get injured.

And I thank God for helping me this day on our performance task and for guiding
me at school and on the way back home.

March 11, 2020

Now this day was very exciting, because today we get to make ICE CREAM! Yay,
this is my very first time doing an actual experiment but with food. Sometimes I
really don’t feel doing this kind of stuffs but for this time I’m very excited. Besides
our ice cream making today is also our reporting for III. I was very nervous at first
but everything went well as the report went by. And as for the ice cream, we
decided to make the Taho Ice Cream. Not the very usual flavor of ice cream
because our teacher asked us to make a unique flavor of an ice cream.
I thank God for this day for guiding us this day and making all of our activities
succeed and go well.

March 12, 2020

Now this was the first time that I didn’t feel happy about this class suspension.
Sorry for the word but this virus is b#$@&*%t.

This virus is causing so many things from dreams to lives. This suspension was so
heavy for my emotions like why now. We are already at almost a month or 2 left
before graduation and now this thing comes and ruins everything. Instead that we
are at home lying down doing nothing, we should’ve just been at school instead.

Well, amidst all that I just silently pray thanking God for keeping us safe from this
disaster.

March 13, 2020

As I woke up, of course the first I would do is to check my phone and as I opened
Facebook I was shocked by the first thing I saw in the post.

The infected people with the virus has already doubled from last night. Things are
starting to get a bit scarier than usual. People are also starting to panic and are
showing post of them buying so many goods. As time passes by it starts to freak
me out more.

But at the end of the day, I continue to pray to God that he guides us every day and
help us be as healthy as we can possibly be.
 March 15, 2020

Well, a day that was supposed to be at school turned out to be at the house instead.
Sitting in front of the laptop, waiting for the lessons to be sent, doing activities left
and right and so much more.

And on the outside world, the virus is starting to spread even faster already
reaching an almost 100 people and as it spreads more and more people tend to
panic buy causing so may goods to be out of stock. When these kind of situations
happen you’ll the hidden personalities of people. There may be the selfish ones,
there may also be the caring ones.

But instead of thinking bad about them, I just pray instead hoping that they would
realize that they are not the only humans on earth.

March 16-18, 2020

Well, through these three days was just as normal as any day would be, although
the virus seems to have spread more, we were ready for it. Sanitizing every part of
the house, making sure that our body are clean, keeping minimal contact with other
persons and other preventive measures as well.

And I just don’t forget to pray. Pray and pray and pray. That this phenomena
would soon stop.

March 19, 2020

Another day goes by and that virus seems like it has no plans of stopping yet. The
government are trying their best to control this virus but seemingly, people just
don’t see the effort they are putting into stopping this dilemma. It’s like each man
or woman for him or herself has their own worlds right now, they’re like “I don’t
give a s%$t about what’s happening, all I care about is myself” or so they say. But
then again I shouldn’t be speaking so biased or I might end up being bashed online
by close minded people.

At the end of the day, I continue to hope and pray that this madness would end the
soonest so that we could all return back to our normal lives.

March 20, 2020

The last day of the week, as much as I would want to say something there’s really
not much that happened this day. It’s just how any usual day would do.

March 23-25, 2020

These days just passed by like nothing happened, first is because I caught a cold so
all I did was sleep and lay down in bed. And I didn’t much look at the time so I felt
like everything was so fast. Second, since I was just lying on bed I decided to do
some of the given online works and finish it while I was doing nothing. And lastly
all I do most of the time is sleep.

March 26, 2020

Upon waking up, as I have fully recovered from my sickness I noticed that none of
my parents nor my sibling were at home. Panicking a little I started walking around
the house, and then I saw that our Tricycle was also gone so I just presumed
instead that they went out to buy something. And I waited all day. But then night
came, and I started to panic again. But then I heard the sound of the motorcycle.
Phew, that was nerve-wracking. Then they started laughing at me because I didn’t
notice that there was a note at the refrigerator saying that they would out until night
time. Well that wasn’t fun was it?

March 27, 2020

Now comes the last day of the week, though there’s many things I did. It’s just the
same as what I did the last few weeks and there’s pretty much not anything special
for this day.

I just hope and pray that the worlds problem would soon stop.
