OFTEN MISINTERPRETED

My classmate, who is also my friend, is often misunderstood because of the tone of her voice. She told me her experience before. When covid still didn't exist, face to face classes were adapted and group activities were given often to the class.

My friend, together with her groupmates started talking about their plans for their presentation. She also had her ideas so she started voicing out her thoughts for their presentation. She told me she noticed their reactions after she started talking. She then realized she was getting misunderstood since its happened to her numerous times . She's told me that the reactions of her groupmates were not new to her and she thought that maybe they think she's angry.

As her friend, I somehow understand the others thinking she might be angry, lol.

Seriously though, if you don't know her, you need to get used to the tone of her voice so that you won't misunderstand. I also think that they might have missed my friend's intention just because of her tone. I can't blame them for misunderstanding her, but I believe there are ways on how to understand others in a more better way, a way to effectively communicate.

I believe they could have asked her so she can clarify her thoughts and ensure her points about their presentation. Nonetheless, I think both parties were lacking the skills for effective communication but considering it happened almost 2 years ago, I would like to assume their knowledge about communication is growing. 🤣🤷‍♀️

What are your thoughts about this?

In the midst of COVID-19, companies has been shut down, establishments closed, people? unemployed. We have been living the world wearing our masks, faceshields and PPA. We have been doing classes through google meetings, zooms and other video conferences. We might be forgetting each others faces, but what we must not forget is the value of communication. Communication makes the world go round and round after all.

DIY: How to Make a Snow Globe out of affordable materials :)) I've been doing this how-to/demonstration speech since 1st year high school. I got this from a local art show a few years ago.

1. Get a piece of cardboard and paste it in the center of the jar's lid. Let it dry for about a minute or so.

2. When the cardboard dries, place some super glue at the bottom part of the toy. Make sure that the toy you'll use will fit inside the jar. Let it dry for a few minutes.

*OPTIONAL: After the toy dries, you can put some beads around the toy to have a landscape-thing effect. Stick it hardly using a glue gun. Set it aside

3. Fill almost half of the clear jar with water

4. Sprinkle it with glitters. Don't put too much glitter, you don't want the toy to be overpowered with those shiny bits.

5. Pour in the glycerine. This will make the glitters fall slowly, then fill the rest of the jar with water.

6. Cover the clear jar with the lid. Wipe the jar if there is excess water that overflowed from inside.

7. Last step. Shake it well!

TAADAA!!

There it goes. Your custom-made snow globe is done. You can also cover the lid with a ribbon to make it look more presentable.

*Rememeber: This snow globe has an expiration date- depends on the expiry date of the glycerine.

Okay. Done! BACK TO WORK!  :))
