Last April, we are tasked to write an essay as part of the school requirement about the beauty of this pandemic. At first it's not easy to find out the beauty of something inside the dark room. We did argue about why should we look for beauty since we are in this unprepared season. There's no beauty in it because people suffers. But then we forget that we became so negative about the situation. What the professor is telling us is to see the positive things behind this negative situation.
And sharing you what I did. I wrote it hours before the submission.

The new corona disease or the outbreak of a virus, the novel corona virus disease known as COVID-19 which was started from Wuhan, China is now reaching and affecting the globe.
A pandemic where every country across the world is battling. Billions of people are affected, millions of these are in positive cases, and almost one fourth of these are recoveries. But there are new cases added day by day, and death toll don't go down, the goal of seeing the curve flattens is still unclear. This is what Philippine is facing due to incompetent quality health care plus the naughty kind attitude of Filipinos who does not follow simple rules, and such.
Philippine is one with highest active cases in the South East Asia, it is because there's still no vaccine that can stop the virus, but even that this pandemic ruins almost everything, the economy, and most specially the lives of someone who gets infected, there are still good, a light in the dark, beauty inside the messy situation.
One word to be grateful is that there are "recoveries" and it now surpassed the number of deaths. The moment the president raised the wide enhanced community quarantine over Luzon, families are now staying their home together 24/7, having the time to spend with laughter, with happiness, and the very moment to families.
The heart of Filipinos fired up, uplifting everyone through food packs raised from donation drive. Also the nature speaks healing for itself, the pollution that covers its face ceased, mountains from afar are now being seen by naked eye.
In this war where the enemy is invisible, we have to fight with courage, love, hope, and most especially with faith and prayer that God will remove this kind of virus out in every countries affected, and to learn the lesson that this pandemic is giving.
In this situation, money are being used to buy the daily needs, and it has no value over luxury things. Now, contentment is what everyone should value, real happiness cannot be paid by any amount. This is just a pandemic and it cannot remove a single sweetness in the smile of every resilient Filipinos.

That was what I submitted. Not too long hahaha.
We're now in this month of October and it's less stricter to go out but there are still cases of infection, deaths and recoveries. Vaccine is still not available in the country. To live is still really hard because of the amount of expenses, debts, future payment over the money we only have because of being jobless plus the re opening of classes.
I hope and pray that vaccine will now be available in the country in this month not on the December prediction. I hope that manufacturers of the vaccine would give it to the poor countries at reasonable price.
Laban lang, fight! We will conquer this challenges. We gonna win it.
There are so many things that happened during this quarantine period and I hope that we still have our hopes up. Tiwala lang, have faith, courage and spread love and kindness.
