Hello Fellaz!! Bad weather here in the Philippines because as of tonight, the Super Typhoon is currently making landfall now. I'm not sure where the eye of the storm is but here in the main capital of my country which is Manila, we can feel the bad weather. The wind outside was really humming and it was so scary that I didn't even leave the house. At around four in the afternoon, we felt the strength of the storm with wind and scattered thunder.

We had a class earlier at eight in the morning and at around lunchtime, our university suspended the class as well. My classmates and I were a bit happy because we were already stressed with the projects and modular activities that were being done but I reminded them that it should not be made enjoyable because it is a disaster. They felt a little guilty at that time but as the secretary of our block, I just reminded them to just do what needed to be done in other subjects.

While I was eating lunch earlier, I tried not to look at my phone because I was receiving so many messages and notifications from Google Classroom. This made me so pressured and exhausted. A while back, I was still talking to our Class Representative and I helped him organize all the groupings in different subjects. It's a mess and even he is confused. Since I felt that he was a bit confused, I tried to help him fix it and luckily we ended it right away.

This semester has been very stressful for me. I've been ranting about my schooling for a few days now. If you ever notice that, I'm sorry because it's one of my coping mechanisms. I wanted to talk with some of my virtual friends but my time is very short so I will just create a blog so you all are aware.

After the meeting earlier, I turned off my laptop and phone. I even told my groupmates not to think too much about what to do and take this time to rest. We're only two weeks into this semester but it's already super hectic and draining. But because I don't want them to feel more stressed, I reminded them to go back to the tasks on Monday. As a leader and as a future HR, I should not let my co-workers feel that they are robots. They also deserve a break.

Before I end this blog, let me share with you a random fact that a professor told us days ago. Do you know why a person's standard working hours are only 8 hours? That's because we have 24 hours a day. As human beings, we need to meet these three categories that we need to do in a whole day; sleep, leisure time and of course work. 24 hours divided by three is eight so then, this is how we should manage our time every day. So guys, if you know you are no longer happy with what you are doing, work or doing stuff that you are obligated to do, just remember, you still need to breathe and rest. Make time to enjoy some stuff or treat yourself to good food. Got it? Padayon!!
