Overcoming Frustrations of Online Classes: A Guide

Online Class Frustrations

Ever since the coronavirus entered the Philippines, infected a lot of people, and caused everyone to self-quarantine at home, our daily lives have changed.

Almost everyone working were forced to work at home, and it may have had either a positive impact or negative impact in their lives; nevertheless, our routines that we usually do in our workplaces are now obsolete and we now follow a new routine in our homes. Instead of the karenderia from the nearby store, you may be eating homecooked meals.

For students, the same changes apply, as the schools have also shifted to having online classes. Gone are the days when the students could laze around in the library or binge eating food from the canteen just to wait for their next class.

However, many students have been complaining about how online classes have drained their mental state, and indeed it can be frustrating since you are only facing a screen and not an actual human being teaching you. It could be that the teacher is giving way too many assignments or tasks, or that his task is too complicated for your environment.

Nevertheless, while it is also very important for teachers to listen to their students’ concerns, it is equally important to learn how to handle all the mental stress from online classes as taking in too much without having a healthy way to cope with it is very damaging to the student psyche. Thus, here are ways of coping up with the frustrations of online classes.

Schedule Time for Yourself

Online classes are a challenge, but it becomes an even bigger challenge when you can no longer be yourself. Schedule time for yourself, your alone time, so that you can still stay in touch with who you are and what you enjoy.

It would be better to have it at minimal intervals every day so that you can destress yourself every day. For example, you can set in your schedule to have your alone time for one hour every day. It is totally up to you.

Play Video Games

During your alone time, you can spend that time on playing video games that help you relax. Even if you are not someone who plays video games, you can try some relaxing games yourself. I’d advise on games like Stardew Valley as they don’t need too much mental stress for a farming game and it is available both on PC and mobile phones.

Although each and every one of us has their own style of games, so find the game that relaxes you most. Be sure to manage your time wisely and stick to the schedule.

Find Hobbies

Everyone has a hobby. Whether it be sewing, sketching, reading a nice book, a hobby defines who we are. You can enjoy your hobbies during your alone time as long as you manage your time well. If you prefer, you can also try searching for a new hobby and explore.

Stay Social

Humans are social beings so it is an essential part of our basic needs. Thus, even though we are in quarantine, remember to keep contact with your friends and barkada.

I would suggest that you play games together, such as Kahoot, Skribbl.io, or PlayingCards.io. There’s even a Secret Hitler game online and a Cards Against Humanity. Or you can simply talk to each other, whichever makes all of you enjoy.

Keep Healthy

No matter how many tasks you have, always prioritize your body, because if you don’t, then there’s nobody to work on your tasks. Remember to eat at the right time with the right amounts, gets plenty of sleep, and exercise often.

You can do a quick exercise routine at home or do a quick jog in the early morning. Keep your body and mind in its top performance and you will be happy with the results.

Pasilong sa Naga: A Green Public Park in Cebu South

The City of Naga is on its way to developing better and greener public spaces with the new Pasilong sa Naga public park. This park will be a city garden that will provide a place for people of all ages and status to gather, regardless of their ability to pay for access.

“This park shall be a place for health and well-being accessible by all. With this park, we want to erase the misconception of people that [the] government is not capable of providing a facility such as this, because through partnership, it can be done. I am so thankful [to] Mr. Kenneth Cobonpue for his dedication and commitment in crafting the park design,” Mayor Chiong said.

A NEED FOR OPEN SPACES

“Pasilong sa Naga” is a P10.5-million park development project that was conceptualized and initiated by the City Government to address the need for more open spaces in the city.  According to the mayor, this park will be a tangible reflection of the quality of life that she aspires for the Cebuano people.

In her interview with SunStar Cebu, she mentioned that the project was conceptualized after the city applied for financial support from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for the creation of new parks and open spaces.

Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, who was a guest during the city’s 11th Charter, mentioned expectations of the park attracting local and foreign tourists to the southern parts of Cebu City. “It will be a model for sustainable tourism. I’m sure everybody would love to see the design of Kenneth Cobonpue,” exclaimed Puyat.

DESIGNED BY KENNETH COBONPUE

Pasilong sa Naga is a partnership project with world-renowned Cebuano designer Kenneth Cobonpue. According to him, this is his first time to design a park for the local government.

Aside from Pasilong sa Naga, Cobonpue is also assisting the City of Naga in designing the second phase of the Naga Boardwalk.

“Pasilong sa Naga, which literally means “to find shade in Naga”, is a park I designed for the city of Naga, south of Cebu. The design is made up of interlocking rings that represent circles of life, nature’s way of taking and giving back to the earth. The rings vary in scale and turn into winding paths, elevated walkways, fountains, benches and rest areas as they loop around the park,”

– Kenneth Cobonpue said on a Facebook post.

As mentioned, the park will have a design that will feature a series of interlocking rings that will function as walkways that spiral into trees all around the park.

Cobonpue said that the interlocking rings will also represent the unity of Cebu’s politics and culture. In between the rings will be a fountain that park goers will enjoy. The park will also be dotted with ring benches under the shade of trees that will provide respite from the heat of the sun.

Since the project is aiming for a green space, Cobonpue says that no existing trees will be sacrificed during the development. “In fact, we need to add more trees,” he even said.

Soon to open to the public

The development of Pasilong sa Naga will hopefully become a ripple and start a wave of development projects that focus on green and open spaces that can be accessed by Cebuanos and visitors of the City in the future.

Pasilong Sa Naga is still under construction and is not yet open to the public. It is expected to open in December 2020 or early 2021.

Bantayan Island Resorts Cebu-1

A total of 123 accommodation establishments, restaurants, and water transport services have opened in Cebu Province.

This is after they have been issued a Certificate of Compliance (COC) since September 2020. These establishments have been proven to have complied with the basic health requirements by the Provincial Tourism Task Force (PTTF) based on the guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) and the Provincial Ordinance enforcing tourism protocols.

5th District Provincial Board Member Andrei “Red” Duterte authored the ordinance supporting what was issued by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on July 23, 2020; the Executive Order no. 20-A.

 Some of the tourism activities that have been allowed to re-open are:

  • Alegria Canyoneering
  • Barili All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
  • Cordova Island Hopping
  • Anjo World
  • Danasan Eco-Adventure Park
  • Snow World
  • Whaleshark Watching
  • Moalboal Island Hopping and Diving

These activities can be booked online through the Cebu Province’s official tourism portal: http://discover.cebu.gov.ph/.

On the other hand, water tourist transports like motorized and non-motorized boats are to secure their Certificate of Authority to Operate (COA) from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Maritime Industry Authority (MIA). However, they must secure and comply the requirements from their respective Local Government Unit (LGUs).

Ybanez further clarified that the centralized digital booking portal discover.cebu.gov.ph is exclusive to “destinations, sites, and tourism activities.” Confirmation codes in the portal are system generated.

For accommodation, guests must book directly to the accredited establishments. Proof of booking may be in the form of an e-mail or a receipt. No other travel documents will be required to travel.

Re-energize your body and reconnect with your soul in the Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort in Gaas, Balamban.

This retreat in Cebu encourages its visitors to meditate on the mountainous backdrops and cool climate of Balamban with friends or family. The tranquil atmosphere and verdant backgrounds of the place will surely put the body in a trance.

Although it is just an hour’s drive away from the Metro, the surrounding mountains seclude the resort and remove any trace of the city. The rustic interiors and cliffside views create a peaceful ambiance for intimate moments between friends and family either while sharing a coffee on their cliff-hanging tables or watching the sunrise while soaking in the pools.

The canopies created by the trees are perfect for morning walks and basking in the beauty of the forest. For a more relaxing indoor experience, there are saunas in the resort that the adults will surely love.

Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort is literally a home away from home. It comes complete with cozy shared rooms and a kitchen that is complete with cooking utensils. The rooms of the resort are exclusive to one group at a time only which allows everybody to spend moments together uninterrupted.

Groups may bring their own food and store it in the refrigerator and grill some meat on the barbeque come dinner time.

After sundown, everybody can spend time appreciating the view of Mt. Manunggal on their wide, wooden deck or patio. Rooms don’t even need fans because the natural air conditioning provided by the surroundings is enough for a good night’s sleep.
