Finding Balance

By: Beatrice Lim

The current state of our world has caused a global pause, and people have no choice but to carry out their daily activities at home. While this may be a good thing for some, some struggle to find balance in their everyday schedule, especially those who were suddenly thrust into a work-from-home situation. However, despite all the busyness, health must stay as a priority.

Through a span of almost seven months, Filipinos, especially students, haven’t gone outside due to the quarantine measures. This means spending a lot of time, if not all, at home. It’s easy to lie down and stare blankly at our phones, sleep all day, or stay up late binge watching Netflix shows. Although these activities may be “enjoyable” or “relaxing,” they shouldn’t become a daily habit.

Health is an important aspect in each of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to do the things that are also of equal importance. Good health allows us to carry out our daily schedules in a productive and optimistic manner. Most people would simply attribute the term “health” to exercising everyday. Yes, they are correct, but being healthy isn’t just based on the physical aspect. True health is so much more than that.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete “physical, mental and social well-being” and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity. A lot of people tend to think that when you are healthy, the chances of getting sick are nonexistent. In actuality, being healthy concerns one’s overall state and not just the visual aspect of being healthy. We should begin to consider the other facets of health such as mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health.

While under quarantine, it’s easy to neglect our health due to constant distractions. But we should keep in mind that finding balance in everything we do is essential. Some suggestions to boost overall health include getting enough sleep, regulating gadget use, eating right, socializing online, journaling your thoughts and feelings, drinking enough water, and many more. These activities are simple enough that being healthy is attainable for everyone. Instead of complaining about the things we can’t control, let’s use this quarantine as an opportunity to focus on what we can do to live a healthier and better life.

Starting the Lunar New Year Right with Chinese Week

With the Year of the Rabbit underway, MGC New Life Christian Academy’s (MGCNLCA) Student Government (SG) held Chinatown, a four-day celebration of the Lunar New Year from January 23 to 26, 2023, for the whole school to enjoy.

The week-long event started with a Chinese-themed fair at the school gym on Monday, January 23. Students from the Lower Primary to Senior High School gathered to participate in activities such as the Wish Wall, the Hong Bao Tree Raffle, and the Chinese tongue twister. A Wushu martial arts and dance performance and a giant inflatable slide were particularly popular among the attendees.

A Ping Pong Competition was held on the second day, while a Chinese Singing Competition sparked the interest of the entire school community on the third day. Intermission numbers from Galilee students, selected supervisors and teachers, and a guest judge became a highlight for many of the audience members during the contest.

The Mini Games on Thursday marked the end of Chinese week as students participated in games like Eagle Chicken, Chinese Trivia, Mai Tong Xi, and Chinese Garter.
