Star gazing is where you will watch the stars glow. Star gazing is not a common hobby, not everyone loves to look at the glowing stars. For me star gazing is a relaxing hobby, if I have problems, if I am stress or if I overthink a lot I'll look at the sky and watch the stars glow because it makes me so relax. Even though I don't have telescopes or binoculars to see the stars closely I am still happy that I can watch the glowing stars. I love watching stars with my friends and talk about life. Some people don't feel relax in watching the stars, like I told you star gazing is not a common hobby.

When I was a you girl me and my mother love looking at the stars that's our bonding all the time. So when my parents separated, I'll watch the stars glow alone then cry because I missed my mom. I miss watching stars together with my mom and I hope we watch the stars together again soon when we meet.

In today’s ultra busy and ultra stressful world because of pandemic Covid-19, we need something relaxing, something to help tranquilize us, something to balance all the craziness and pressure that happens to us out there in the real world. Everyone in today's era, we are in the middle of this pandemic we nd to entertain ourselves with something else to avoid stress.

A couple of years ago, my family and I flew to El Nido and Puerto Princesa Palawan for vacation. Since I was just a child that time, the first thing that I could remember is when I stepped inside a plane and rode it for the very first time. Seeing the beauty from above gave me the excitement to see it closer and wanted to get off the plane more willingly.

When we finally landed in the airport, our vehicles are ready and we directly headed to the hotel that where we booked in. As I can remember, the hotel that we lived in was owned by the actress Katrina Halili and it was named as Residencia Katrina Bed and Breakfast.

In our first day in El Nido, Palawan. As planned, we got up early to have a longer time in enjoying the beauty and scenery of the beaches, rock formations and many more. We went island hopping for more than 5 islands if I’m not mistaken.

Every island that we went to is very magnificent. The views and opinions that I have heard from my relatives that the islands in El Nido, Palawan are very beautiful are so damn true. Even years have passed, I can still imagine its beauty in my head.

We stayed in the secret lagoon where tourist can stay for a dive or snorkeling. I’ve seen different marine animals with different colors and body features. Also the amazing structures of the coral reefs.

After were done in island hopping, my family and I headed to a restaurant called Bella Vita El Nido to eat some delicious seafood dishes freshly caught from the ocean.

Now that were full and tired, we headed to back to our hotel to get some rest. Me and my siblings along with my older cousins went to the public market to buy some gift items and to look around the place as well. We had our dinner at the same resto that we ate in earlier that afternoon.

The tricycles in El Nido, Palawan are quite different than the tricycles that we have here in Manila. Its sidecar is bigger, wider and have more seating capacity.

The next day we drove a long way from El Nido to Puerto Princesa, Palawan to visit the famous underground river. Did you know the underground river is listed in the 7 wonders of the world? When we arrived in the area, we lined for a while and once it was out turn. We wore life vest and helmets with flashlights to protect our heads from falling objects and to be able to see the rock formations inside the river.

I have seen lot of rock formations inside such as a rock in a form of angel, mushroom and many more and there are lots of bats hanging in the rocks that scared me since I was just a young girl back then.

Our next destination was in the Calamian island also in Palawan, where monitor are the commonly found in that particular island. If im not mistaken, we drove and travel by boat for a couple of hours, I think. In the Calamian island, you will get to see live monitor lizards around you while you are staying and relaxing in the beach.

Covid 19 changed our livelihood, student's education have become a problem for us, many have died due to this pandemic and even our transportation become limited. Government overcome its destructive or harmful effects to human life by providing relief goods, limited transportation for our community or everyone, as well as our outreach is also limited and somehow the government supports our education. Due to this pandemic classes were done online. So as a student, being capable of using technology to cope up with this type of learning. By the help of technology and literacies, it's a lot easier to make or create outputs and written project or presentations and upload it quickly. Media and digital literacy makes everything convenient in the mean of we don't need to go to school in order to pass or to submit the requirements given by the professors. Instead finding better ways to pass the requirements by the help of using technology. We can't deny the fact that these literacies make our studies lot easier. Although there could be a conflict if the students has lack of gadgets like laptops or computers and not totally engage in using those technologies. But this is just a mere possibility for we belong to the 21st Century learners and known to be technology experts. The media and digital literacy can help me to be able to analyze, interpret, evaluate and create information needed to this type of learning. For we know that this type of learning requires great comprehension and understanding of the information to meet the expectations of the teacher and be excellent in a certain subject.
