Reflection 2 - Hong

 Mental wellbeing was never really my top priority in life. I never really bothered to think of anything regarding this as I'm pretty much satisfied with what I have. Apparently some aren't so satisfied like I am. Regardless of that, we had our second lesson regarding mental health. I've always thought stuff like depression is just people being sad or people overexaggerating their emotions just to attention. Matter of fact I used to have this mindset since 7th grade that I constantly made fun of this subject. While I haven't really changed my viewpoint that much on the subject, I did learn some things about mental health which I previously didn't know.

The article I had been given talked about reasons why ones mental health could diminish and methods on how to improve your wellbeing. Mostly it talked about the basic stuff that everyone knows, such as proper sleep schedules, having social interactions, and performing meditation. One thing that really stuck out to me was talking about things you are grateful for to a friend or someone else. It really felt odd as it just happened to be some sort of funny joke at this point. I mean I did try it and it just came out as awkward, but it really just reminded me of this anime I watched where a character punches the air a thousand times per day to show gratitude or something. Really odd.

Although my view on mental wellness hasn't changed a bit, I do understand more about it and I learned that mine is probably fine, or at least I think it is. I haven't killed anyone yet so I most likely don't suffer from some massive traumatic event that will haunt me for the rest of my life yet.

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

3.2

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
