“THE SKELETON IN HER CLOSET” by Jessa Angela Lelis

Hermione was alone in the basement, and as she explored it, she noticed that nothing had changed; it was still the room she used to hide in when she was younger and more naive. She used to lack herself in that place so no one could see her cry. Memories continue to flash through her mind as she recalls everything that happened back then.

She was looking at a picture of her and his Uncle Jude that was hung on the wall. All of the pain and hatred comes crashing down on as if it were brand new. She hated herself for being so weak in the past. She loathed her parents and blamed them for abandoning her to her Uncle. They had no idea it would be the beginning of her misery.

Years earlier, Hermione was a happy and optimistic person until something happened to her that caused her to become isolated and miserable. It all began when her parents abandoned her. At first, Her uncle Jude treated her like a princess, which she adored. But her uncle's behavior changes abruptly; he becomes more clingy and touchy with her than usual, which makes her uncomfortable and feel anxious.

Her uncle came home drunk one night. She opened the door for him, but as soon as he walked through the door, her uncle grabbed her. She fought back, but her uncle was stronger, so her efforts were in vain. Jude started kissing her which she refused, and tears started to cascade down her face as she attempts to push him away.

She screamed loudly, "Please, stop," but he ignored her.

She said helplessly, "Why are you doing this?" As a reaction, he punched her in the stomach, forcing her to close her mouth. He sexually abused her, messed with her body, and raped her, and she sees no mercy in him while doing it.

As the days pass, her uncle continues to treat her as if she were a doll. Hermione is no longer cheerful. She eats very seldom due to a lack of appetite, which has caused her to become very thin in a short period of time. Her rosy lips were dry and chapped. When you look into her pale eyes, all you can see were emptiness; there is no light or hope. Tiredness, blandness, and everything to here was darkness. She's been depressed and humiliated for a long time.

She attempted to escape at 2 a.m. one time. She opened the door slightly, making sure it didn't make any noise, as she was anxious and nervous.

When she realized it wasn't a lock, she breathed a sigh of relief. She tiptoed down the corridor, but was taken aback when she realized someone is behind her and it’s him her Uncle Jude. She shivered even more as he grinned at her. She screamed in rage and tried to run away, but it was too late; Jude grabbed her risk and slapped her hard, causing Hermione's nose to bleed.

“Please, stop. Why are you doing this, Uncle?” she stated

Jude didn't say anything instead he laughed. He was crazy and insanely crazy. He’s a lunatic.

Jude yanks her hair and locks her in the room. And she cried herself out.

“Can you hear me out there?”

“Can you help me?”

She cried out, "I don't know how to face it,"

She said out of breath, "I'm tired," and then she hanged herself.

Hermione back to her senses when she hears footsteps coming down the stairs. Hermione notices her uncle approaching, but he passes her by as if she were not in front of him, and it is then that she realizes what has happened.

“Oh, I was dead,” she grumbled bitterly. “It's been a long time.” she added

Hermione's body was buried in the cellar, and until now, no one knew what had happened to her. Judes lied to Hermione's parents, claiming that she had run away and vanished, were never seen again. Hermione has been missing for a years, and no one knows where she is. The skeleton in her closet were remain in her closet.

The Beast By Jesyra Micca Hombre

"What's your name? did the monster catch you too?" said by Chloe

Isn't it obvious? anna replied.

I'm Chloe "she held out her hand to get to know her properly.

"I’m Anna "

"We have to escape here as soon as possible or the monster will eat us"

“And how can we escape it?

"Pull the rope that was tied to my hands I've already removed it".

Anna pulled the tie on Chloe’s hands so after that she was the one got released.

"This is our plan. We'll still pretend to be tied up while he's awake. Later when s

he's asleep, we'll slowly come out." Chloe said.

Anna just nodded. She looked closely at companion's face to see if she's going to trust her.

“How did you get caught by the monster? Chloe asked again.

"I got lost in the forest last night. I wanted to take a shortcut but I made a mistake and got stuck

here. I didn't know there was a monster here. He immediately hit me with a hard object on my

head so I fainted. Then I woke up. here. How about you? "anna replied.

“Like you I also want to find a fast way to get home because there is too much traffic on the

main highway. But my car is flat in the middle of the forest. I was shocked when someone

suddenly hit my head so I lost consciousness”.

They find time to escape as the monster begins to sleep.

The two women enter a huge cave in silence. They must get out of their dungeon or the demon

that abducted them and will eat them. They took small steps to the ground to avoid making a

sound. They had a chance to flee when they discovered the large room’s door had been left

open. They were able to escape danger by moving slowly. They walked slowly and cautiously,

keeping an eye out for the beast lurking in the distance.

“We’re about to get out, Anna,” Chloe said softly. “We can get out of this demonic place in just a

few steps.”

Anna simply nodded in agreement with Chloe’s statement, unsure of what she would say in

response. “Yes, you are right, but if we keep in this manner, it will take us nine hours. We haven’t even left

the house yet the beast will swallow us for the rest of our lives” she indicated what she was

referring to with a finger thumb.

Chloe sighed as she heard what her friend had to say.

There seems to be an emphasis on Anna’s comment, as though she is being irritated or

angered.

Despite the fact that they had only been together for two days and Chloe didn’t know Anna very

well, she attempted to make friends with her, despite her suspicions that she was being plastic

on her.

“However, this is the only way out. I do want to live for my family, and I’m sure that’s what you

want as well.” Chloe had just respond Anna.

Anna didn’t respond and just stared at it intently.

“Come on, let’s go for a walk; we’ll be out of here soon”

Chloe began to walk slowly, while Anna remained stationary and watched the woman walk.

Something clicked in her head, allowing her to quickly flee without having to walk slowly.

How many times has she thought about it. She thought that when she left Chloe the monster’s

attention would turn to her. She also doesn’t know it very well so it’s okay for her a to eat and kill

it by the monster. Anna has no friends so any good treatment Chloe has with her doesn’t matter.

She started living alone when her mother pimped her and his father left him. Anna has no one to

trust but herself. So when she met Chloe since the monster captured them, she didn’t accept

her friendship.

Many times she has known some people who she thinks are trustworthy but she was wrong.

She was a traitor to those who became her friends several times. So since then she has been

trust only herself because she thinks the people around her are enemies .

Deep inside ,Chloe even though this is how she interacts with her . she knows that Anna has

still a good heart.

Anna was well aware that she was a bad girl. She enjoys sabotaging other family members’

relationships, she also has a powerful propensity to discriminate against others, even though they do nothing to her and most importantly, she refuses to apologize, even though it was her

fault. All evil deeds she believe she are doing something positive. It’s just good for her.

She doesn’t care what other people say she just wants to hurt feelings. When she sees the

person who cried because of her, it seems that she has the courage to continue what she is

doing. Everything she went through when she was young she poured out on people who

showed kindness to her.

She was prepared to do this so that she could flee as soon as possible. As Chloe takes her time

walking. Anna dashed over to it as soon as she could. It made a significant noise, and Chloe

was taken aback. The monster with the terrifying appearance and large ears was startled and

turned to face the source of the noise.

The monster, on the other hand, quickly goes to Chloe who is now weak and asks for help.

Anna ignored her and the woman finally left the room. She even locked the door so that the

monster could not get out. She was still smiling and she was happy with what she had done

because she had saved herself.

She tried to look at Chloe, who was now being held by the beast, before leaving. She is now

weeping and pleading for her assistance, but Anna has humiliated her

When the monster’s ear tingled from hearing Chloe’s cries one after another, he bit it and

chewed it rudely. The woman’s blood splattered all over the monster’s face, which it then

sucked before devouring Chloe’s entire body. The monster even gave a stern look to Anna as

she watched. It lunged at her, but Anna bolted, hearing only a monster scream as she crossed

the road.

With a smile on her face, she walked down the long corridor for over an hour. She was not

angry with herself because she had made it through. She had no remorse for what she had

done, and she felt invincible. Anna saw the silver door in the distance. It appears to be the

escape from the location where she was abducted. When she exclaimed, “You’re the best girl

Anna!” she quickly flipped the door handle.

Her mouth stayed open after she screamed, and her eyes almost shot out in surprise. Her hair

went up all over her body and her legs trembled as she saw what she saw.

She mistook the safe spot for the hideout of another monster who had just abducted them. More

than a hundred creatures were now looking at her, and their bodies were clearly still sleeping.

Anna didn’t do anything else. She has no other choice but to face life because she is now

surrounded by monsters that are salivating and waiting to pounce.

It’s too late for her to escape. She looks like a mannequin because she didn’t know how to run

and get away from that place.

All the monsters in that room were already staring at her and any moment she was ready to be

ate . They also started walking on her spot so all she could do was close her eyes and wait for

the imminent death.

She regretted so much that if she had just listened to her friend that they would walk slowly and

at least they would definitely be able to escape safely. She didn’t think that because of her

greediness she would be even more humble.

It was too late for her to make amends for her behavior. She hopes she doesn’t scream. “I’m

hoping I didn’t betray Chloe. I’m hoping I don’t just become selfish “. Since she realized, she

knew that when the monsters comes out, their true ferocity comes out.

She started to be dragged by monsters who seemed to be fighting over who or what part of the

woman’s body they were going to eat. That room looked like a fiesta because they ate Anna.

She didn’t expect that she would die at that place because she was very confident in herself that

she could leave safely. While monsters feasting on her body, anna just cried because she had

done nothing.

Anna did nothing but shout and ask for help even though she knew vaguely that someone else

had helped her. Crying and shouting filled that room, the monsters were overjoyed as they

crushed the body full of blood and scattered the remains of the woman’s body

Title: Nightmare

Written by: Cristine Mae Gasic

It was in the middle of the night when I suddenly got woke up. I got shivering all over my nerves. I felt the monster's hand on my body. I badly wanted to scream and seek someone to help me out of this nightmare. I have no power to fight. He is powerful than me. I have lost my energy to escape. All I can say is that he is a devil. I hurriedly jumped out of my bed and fixed myself. Last night's dream is a nightmare. I thought it was real. It was like nothing happened last night. Everything is in order as I was to. So I came up to the conclusion that maybe it was just a nightmare.

"Yeah, its just a worst nightmare" I said, trying to convince myself. " I thought that it was real. I was so scared for myself. I do have what-ifs in my mind. "What if it's real? What if something happens to me? Why I always dreaming like that? What if I'm crazy? Am I? Oh G! help me! I can't take it all. I badly want to cry. I am so scared." In the middle of my overthinking, someone knocks on my door. "

Everything went back to reality. I moved towards and opened the door. It was my father, my favorite person. He greeted me lively with a big smile on his face. "Hi dear, I was about to wake you up. but since you're up now let's eat our breakfast." He said. All the thoughts that I have a while ago suddenly vanished. I felt so secured when I was with my father. He is a very great dad. We leave the room and go to the kitchen. " Careful, Jane" He said because I run to the kitchen. I was hungry at the same time.

" Good morning sunshine, the breakfast is ready,"He said and I replied with just a simple but sweetest smile. " I've cooked a bacon and sunny side up. Also, I prepared a glass of milk for my beautiful daughter ". I laughed to what he said and ate the breakfast happily with him. " Thank you so much dad' for these delicious foods," I said to him. He replied," It's my pleasure to serve breakfast, my dear."

"Dad, after this can I was the dishes" I said. "Are you sure? I can do it my dear"

"No dad, please! I insist"

"Alright, just be careful honey"

"Yes dad, thank you so much"

"Ok, finish it first"

We happily ate our breakfast and I washed the dishes afterward. I decided to go back to my room and do some leisure activities.

I've shared a lot of things with you a while ago and forgot to introduce myself. I am Jane, 16 years of age and happily living with the best dad in the world. I grew up with a broken family. I didn't given a chance to be with my mom. I've never seen her before or should I say, in my entire life of existence. Even though I was longing for a mother and her presence, I was still thankful that I am with my dad. He never fails to show me how much he loves me. He became a father and a mother to me, that's why for me he is the best.

At my early age, I've discovered that my father is one of the people with a disability. He has a mental problem but despite his condition, I am proud to be his daughter. His condition never becomes a hindrance for him to fulfill his obligations as my father. He is way better than other fathers without disability. I love him so much and I treasure him a lot. I cannot imagine a life without him. I am contented to him. If loosing my dad means to see my mom, I would rather not to see her anymore.

The night came, we ate our dinner. " You must eat plenty of vegetables so you will become healthier," my father said. I obeyed what he said. After we ate, I volunteered to wash the dishes. Then I go to my room to do my night routine before I go to bed. I was about to sleep when my father enters the room with a glass of milk. "Janella my dear, do not forget to drink your milk before you sleep," he said. "Of course, dad, I will,” I replied to him. After that, I said goodnight to him. He kissed me on my forehead and left the room. I started to close my eyes and sleep but I can't. I kept on thinking why I was dreaming the same nightmare I had years ago. When I turned 11 years old, my nightmare began. I don't know why it was the same. The monster in my dream looks like a devil. He has a huge ear, a big mouth, and a disgusting face. He always said that he will kill me if I tell this to someone. Everytime I remembered that monster in my dream. I felt so scared, there is something in me that I can't explain.

Thinking of that made me more scared. I badly wanted to tell this to dad but I don't want him to get worried about me. It's just a nightmare, I bear in mind. I suddenly felt thirsty, so I decided to go to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I've noticed that the door on my father's room was still open. So I decided to walk towards his room.

I was shocked by what I saw.

My knees are trembling and memories of my nightmares flashed back on my mind. The glass of water slides on my hand. It fell on the floor and made a noise that caught the attention of the monster. Shocked was visible in his eyes.

" Who are you? Where is my father?" I shouted to him but he didn't reply. I am scared of him but I didn't mind it. He sat down on the bed and removed his mask. The moment that he removed it, I cried and he also did. " I am sorry my Janellla, I am a very bad father, I can't control myself. I have to use you for my needs. I used to put drugs on the milk that I always gave you before you sleep. So that I will be able to do my bad plan on you". " I am sorry, I love you, I hope you will forgive me." He cried while saying those words. Words won't come out of my mouth. It was a shocking revelation. I cried so hard and suddenly I heard a sound came from a gun. I looked up and saw my father lying on the floor with blood. He committed suicide. He shot himself with a gun. All this time, I thought it was just a nightmare. I couldn't even think that it was real.

I cried and cried as loud as I can when everything went blurred and black. I woke up and looked around. I saw that everything was alright. I jumped out of my bed and went to the kitchen.

I saw my father in front of the stove cooking breakfast for us. He greeted me good morning and placed the food on the table. I just realized that last night was only a nightmare. I entered the room quietly. I looked down and sat on the chair when my dad suddenly noticed me.

"Good morning dear, you look terrible today. What happened? Do you have a nightmare? Can you tell it to dad? I'm worried. " He said. I just looked at him and I decided to tell everything to my dad and the revelations shocked me. I found out that I am a victim of rape when I was a kid. He also revealed that when I was young, I am living with my mother and stepdad and one day he decided to visit me and saw what my step father was doing to me. He put that man into jails and until now he was still there paying for his sin. My father got my full custody that's why I grew up with him. I cried for what I discovered. We hugged each other and started to eat our breakfast.

"I didn't tell this to you before because I don't want to hurt you. As long as I'm here, I will never get tired of protecting you. You are the best things happened in my life. I don't want you live with your past. I want you to continue being the dearest daughter I ever had, the jolly and loveable one. I love you as always. Don't forget that." With what my father said, I cried again, not because of what happened in the past but because of how lucky I am to have a father like him. He hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Don't cry dear, daddy is always here for you. No one can hurt you". I calmed down and faced him. "I love you so much dad, you are the best".

5 Tips for Online Learning during Pandemic

Covid-19 (CoronaVirus Disease 2019) has brought us all into shock when the World Health Organization announced that this virus is classified as ‘Pandemic’. As expected, the virus and protocols will last a long time as it is newly discovered. All of the people are affected through various factors, including us, the students.

Well, we are all caught off-guard by this situation. The things we usually do suddenly became prohibited. Traditional classes suddenly transitioned into online as the people are avoiding physical contacts in the outside world. I know that most of us are having a hard time learning through this kind of education, especially those who don't have the capacity to adapt. That is why I have here the 5 tips for e-learning during this crisis!

1. Find a learning space in your environment. As pandemic strikes through, most of our home members are currently inside our houses. The more people we have, the more distraction we will get. Who would like to have noisy house members while we focus on learning right? That’s why it is important to have our own learning space in our home to avoid those kinds of situations.

2. Regularly check your respective medium of learning. Our instructors/professors will surely upload or give announcements from time to time. We should always check our emails just like your google classroom and gmail. You can’t be lazy on this thing if you are a grade conscious student because activities are only available in such time. All schools have different methods of teaching that’s why mediums used depend on them.

3. Interact with your classmates. Like in the traditional classes, it’s important to have an interaction with the people who are on the same page. Not only will it ease your academic life, you may also find the people who will change your life forever.

4. Take care of yourself. Activities, quizzes and examinations throughout this method is hard when different subjects give them all at the same time. One may have been pressured because of the time frame of those things while others possibly have been stressing themselves out because of the internet availability in their locations. Whatever situation you’re in, it is important to take care of yourself. Have some time to treat yourself! You can cook delicious foods for you and your family, buy sweets to satisfy your sweet tooth, or take a vacation- inside your home!

5. Help your companions. Of course, there are people who are dealing with such situations much worse than yours. With your help, you can spark hopes that are nearly burnt out. Build a bridge to reach them! Help them pass their activities. Give them ideas if they are already worn out. All students have different status in life, and you are always blessed enough to help them.

We’re far from getting back to normal, that’s why we all need each other to cope up with this situation. Let’s help ourselves, classmates, colleagues, and professors to deal with the crisis we’re in. May we all heal as one!

With the Coronavirus outbreak, things have been changing rapidly, and we understand that the disruptions including the shifting to virtual learning, may seem overwhelming at first.

It's no secret that a sudden change to online learning will make the students feel anxious about their educational outcomes.

Working at three courses all at the same can lead to a high level of stress for an individual, but this can be prevented if you allocate certain times for each class.

Although the spread of the novel coronavirus is a nightmare to cope with, you can still keep ahead of your studies and keep up with your classes. I think it's going to be beneficial to you.

•First, do the routine. Take a bath and eat the way you do during normal classes. Keeping in your pajamas is a terrible idea. Otherwise you'd be in the mood to sit on the couch.

•Do some stretching to make you feel more energetic. Find ways to mimic the usual class-day habits, whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee or eating breakfast. This is going to help you mentally prepare to study.

•Make your study space neat to make you feel motivated to work.

•Paste a few sticky notes with encouraging sentences written.

• Turn off your notifications to the social media.

•Tell your family members to refrain from making unnecessary noises.

•As the session approaches, remind yourself of your life objectives.

Don't feel too bad about the deadline or submission date, instead, relax, regain your concentration, and begin working on your homework. Please don't be too hard on yourself; rest when you need to do something about your health. It's also acceptable if you don't have high qualifications. Grades do not define who you are as an individual. It's fine as long as it's not a failing grade. When you're feeling down or unmotivated, the only thing you can do is pray. Talking with friends can also be beneficial; sometimes you just need to seize the moment. Understand that it's normal to be upset. Take things during the day and then try to use certain approaches to somehow be organized and focused solely here. Reach your instructors and class mates as necessary. Remember, you are not alone in this all of us are here. Be proud of what you've accomplished and celebrate even small victories. Never be afraid to get back up after a loss. And we learn from every hardship we encounter. And it strengthens us day by day. Keep going we got this.

Due to the continuous increase of COVID-19 cases online class is the thought way of the government for not to delayed the study of students. In my opinion, it is a good idea not to have a face to face class but to use computers, cellphones and the internet ,is not in my favor. Because not all students or teachers have the ability to provide loads, good signal, and not everyone has a cellphone or tablet that can use for online classes. With the reopening of the class, an estimated of thousands of families have decided not to enroll their children or themselves this year due to the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. The online class is divided into two,asychronous and synchronous. Asychronous is for students who choose to do self study while in synchronous you are required to attend google meets on the given schedule. In my own observation parents who choose not to enroll their children are worried that they cannot give the needs of their child like cellphones or internet connection. The others do have loads and cellphones but dead spots in their area and that means the signal on their area is very weak. As a student I know what they are going through because like them the signal in our place is really weak. I also don't have a computer to use in online class. The only thing I have is my cellphone. At the very beginning of the online class I asked myself what will happen to me now especially we have facing a pandemic. I felt fear and anxiety. I'm wondering where. I'm going to get the money to buy load, especially since I've lost my job as a caregiver for the elderly. It is difficult to combine studying through online and working to earn more money for my family and education. I just thought that all of this will end and when I graduate I will be able to help my family.

CLASS OF PANDEMIC

Since the occurrence of the pandemic, students, teachers, school administrators, and parents had started a battle with many issues connected to the online learning system. To name a few, many have been struggling with money, time, inconvenience of being home-based and many more. With all that struggle, survey says, students still prefer online class than going back to face-to-face class soon due to safety issues as cases now starts to rise again. But the question is, when will the traditional classes go back to normal? According to reports, there will be no face-to-face class until there’s no existing vaccine yet. The thing is, there are some private/public institutions that already operated through blended learning wherein there are courses that aside from being taught virtually, also needs physical training such as TESDA-based courses/programs. How do they handle the numbers of students enrolled for training?

Based on the given data, the face-to-face classes only scheduled during their “hands on” as it is one of the requirements needed to comply for a specific course. In one day, the institution only allows 3-4 students to attend the class physically.

However, even though it’s already quite allowed for some schools to operate again, majority of the students still chooses online learning as they fear for their safety.
