New Takes | Old Tradition : Endless Memories

As we are about to graduate this school year, many of us have collected some pieces of spectacular and unforgettable memories we have had ever created with the people inside our Alma Matter. Although we are about to leave, memories will always and never be forgotten by us. Memories will always have a better place inside our hearts.

One picture but lots of memories have been created during this time. I, as the Santa Babe Representative of the whole grade 12 class feels honorable and proud. I won as the Santa Babe 1st Runner-Up 2022 during our Christmas Party last December.
This was captured during our 57th Foundation day last February 2023. We have experienced dancing a Sala Ti Mais Folk Dance, and we won as 3rd placer.
We are grateful for experiencing Junior & Senior Promenade. Because before this happened, we were a li’l bit sad thinking that we will not be able to experience this beautiful moment. But thankfully, we’re over the moon knowing that this will be happening for the first time after the Pandemic happens.
This was the time when we had our quick beach break. Me and my friends spend some quality time for enjoyment and happiness. We also celebrated our friend’s 18th birthday.
Th Esperanza film we created won during the 1st Agno Cafe Competition. The film bagged 4 major awards, including : Best Shortfilm, Best Ensemble Acting, Best Editing and Best Director. I acted as the protagonist in the film.
We had our Immersion in RHU. We spend sometime gaining some new experiences and knowledge. We also adapted some professionalism in the workplace.
I could say that this was one of the Best because all the efforts we put for this competition has been paid off. We grabbed the title as the year’s streetdance CHAMPION 🏆
In all of my highschool experiences, socialization is one of the most important to me as a person. Every people that makes my socialization well proved that I can be the funny person I am. They shaped me to become a better person. I can even say that I easily can make friends with others because of my personality. There would always have this quote that sticks in my mind, ” Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got best friends”. – Bill Watterson

How is flu season different during the Covid-19 pandemic?

By : Arabella Grace R. Sanidad 11-STEM

COVID-19 has put into question every aspect of our daily routine and put “stay healthy” at the top of everyone’s to-do list. Our lives are different, in ways the world never imagined. So, with health set as a priority, how has flu season changed, and how it is the same, as we continue to battle the pandemic. I heard about WHO’s spokesperson and stated that, “As we learn to live with COVID-19 in our day to day lives, we have seen how vaccination, masking and social distancing can keep rates of new infections low. In areas where vaccination uptake is low and masking/social distancing are not widespread practice, we’ve seen new rates of infections skyrocket (an enormous stress on our health care system and burned out health care workers). Utilizing these same behaviors to limit influenza infection is more important than ever to decrease the risk of illness and death in the geriatric and pediatric populations, prevent additional stress on the health care system and our health care workers.”

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM INFECTION

Precautions for the flu have not changed, and the best ways to protect yourself from infection are the same as they’ve been in prior years. The World Health Organization recommended a few necessary steps to lower your risk. And here are some:

°Getting Vaccinated – this has been necessary to everyone to reduced the risk of being infected. So if you’re not vaccinated yet, here is the sample of my infographic so you can have the information about getting vaccinated :

°Wear a mask – because this is a must!

A highly recommendation for everyone specially when going to public places.

° Wash or Sanitize your hands often – proper washing of hands are one of the most important things to do.

The Proper Washing of Hands

°Maintain physical and social distancing guidelines – this should be done and maintained.

The World Health Organization recommends people keep at, 1 m (3 feet) apart.

°Get proper sleep, diet and exercise – the routine that should be maintained properly.

SLEEP is just as important as DIET and EXERCISE

The flu spreads in the same way that COVID-19 can, primarily by tiny droplets made when people with the flu cough, sneeze or talk. Social distancing and other necessary mitigation tactics have disrupted nearly every aspect of our lives since the beginning of the pandemic, but a silver lining is that the same practices can minimize spread for influenza as well.It is also important for everyone 12 years of age and older to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they can.
