Longing for a Father

by Rhoda G. Manipon
If I would have the chance to bring the past back, I would rewind the
moment when my father was carrying me at his back. It feels like it was

instead, he decided to exchange his vacation into mo netary form to pay for
my board review and licensure examination. If God would grant me one wish,
I would wish to march on stage with my father rather than to get my medals
and diploma without him. Until I had graduated in my Master’s degree; yet,
my father hadn’t able to attend the ceremony due to Covid-19 pandemic that
shut all airlines operations off. For fifteen years, I longed for a father working
with my mother at home, a father bringing me to the school and fetching me

Growing Up With A Single Mom

by Elena V. Quejado
“Life is not fair”, the saying that always comes in my mind when I was a
little girl. I always compare myself with the children around me. Growing up
with a single mom is not easy for me. I have a younger brother which is 9
years old and I am 17 already. I saw my mom as a disciplinarian mother with
various responsibilities that adds to her stress, fatigue and pressure. As an
older sister I had to carry out some tasks to help my younger brother on his
personal needs. I grew up seeing my mother working for the purpose of
earning money to supply our needs. I myself was taught how to spend money
wisely with my brother even in my younger years. Outside our home, I
encountered different factors to consider in mingling with people
appropriately. Some of these are my physical feature, the way I communicate,
my character and so on.
Most of the time, the negative effects of single-parent households are

quite apparent; economic troubles and abandonment-related trust issues.
Oppositely, in my case, the outcome is positive. Problems and challenges
serve as my strength to fill the gap. I want to share some of my personal
experiences. First, I and my brother had a unique bond with my mom like
watching movies and playing online games in our cellphone. Second, I
practice and apply this strong sense of community relationship that I learned
since we are living with my extended family. Lastly, maturity in thinking, I
developed this because I work collaboratively with my mom since I saw her
working hard for us. With these consequences I manage to weigh and
prioritize things in life selflessly. I am proud that I grew up as part of my
mom’s colorful journey as a parent.

A Merry Heart
by Elena V. Quejado
Proverbs 17:22 tells us, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a
broken spirit drieth the bones”. We can think of no better embodiment of this
saying than when it comes to caregiving. We’ve all heard the expression
“laughter is the best medicine. This expression supported the proverbs to have

works in a number of different ways, including increasing endorphins
released by the brain; decreasing your stress response; and alleviating tension.
In addition, laughter decreases also the possibility of heart attacks according
to studies. Psychologist tell us that as we laugh, we intake oxygen-rich air
that will enrich our oxygenated blood. This blood will distribute the oxygen
around the body which is needed for metabolism. Aside from laughing, we
still need cardio exercise to maintain our normal heartbeat that contributes
to a merry heart. Consistent exercise like swimming, walking and lifting
weights are part of it. Moreover, in most counselling sessions they recommend
practicing a daily habit of praise and thanksgiving and avoid discouragement
and disappointments. When our heart is happy and at peace, it brings life
and health to our body. Wow! And it has no adverse side effects. Such a merry
heart is our sword and shield to face challenges in this time of pandemic.

Angles
by Renante T. Bulda
There are three types of angles commonly used in Mathematics. They

are frequently used in teaching elementary. Acute angle measures less than
90 degrees. If we slice a buko pie into five or more slices, each slice will make
an acute angle. Right angle is an angle of 90 degrees. It is usually seen in a
corner of a square or at the intersection of two perpendicular straight lines.
We can see right angles in the corners of a room, cube, windows and several
other places. On the other hand, obtuse angle is any angle greater than 90
degrees and less than 180 degrees. It lies within the ranges from 90 degrees
to 180 degrees. It looks like a reclined chair, an angle below the staircase or
an angle formed between the base of an open laptop and its screen.
