The Foreign Currency Versus Philipines Peso
**Hola! Everyone its a great Saturday Weekend...**
I am an OFW in Singapore for almost 11 years, and yearly I had my home vacation back to Philippines.
But since covid19 pandemic, I havent go back home for almost 2 years time, and this September I am planning to go back Philippines.
Well, if you are an OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers), you are always doing, calculations and comparing your currency to peso yes it is a real nature, hope someone else gonna relate.
To make it straight to what my point is, as OFW like me, we feel relief if the currency of which country were dwelling is in weaker state than the peso and for that,we have a good exchange rate. Even though we know it has a market issues but the most is we can have a good rate.
Mostly I send money during weekend where in the rate is quite stable depends on the friday standing, because Friday is the closing of stock market.
So what ever exchange rate closed on friday it will be still, until Sunday and Stock Market will be open up again on Monday around 9 am.
Since Im in Singapore, the Singapore dollar rate is in a good value SGD 1.00 = PHP40.00
I used Singtel Dash to send remittance its because it is very easy, and convenient I can reload via 7-11 top up, and instantly I can recieved the money.
When I send remittance I have a few choices, either send to Bank Acount, pick up to Remittances center or send to Gcash.
**As you can see down below;**
*The charges of remittance fee is quite less compare to other remittances services, and what most convenient is I can immediately received my remittance, that is the most important.*
If you are in Singapore and if you are also using this system I know that you will surely agree with me.
In this recent past few months we knows that peso is weaker than the US dollar, but in some currency peso is still soaring high.
As an OFW, we are in opposite of what other pinoy was expecting, our happiness was in the rate of our foreign currency.If stronger we can exchange more pesos.
Even though we also coping up how high cost of living in Singapore, especially the food prices, the fare and other commodities.
I can say that if i had one hundred pesos only I can only able to buy a single meal for my breakfast and its so simple menu, and the quite special is 4-5$ and up witch equivalent to 120-150 Philippines peso.
And if you wanted to try some more extra special you gonna end up ordering western food and korean cuisine.
Thats my thoughts to share with you today guys.

Let Your Thoughts Wander
***As what the saying goes, every sunset has it's own stories to tell.***
Every mankind, in any walks of life, has its own version of life stories, some is exciting, some is bitter, some is sweet, and some is sort of some kind that is difficult to defined..or some kind of complicated.
Your thoughts my friend, is a complex structures of who are you, a definition of your personality, a given meaning of being who you are with what you are thinking with.
Everyday we wokes up, we have a set of goals a series of thoughts, that we need to accomplish, within a day, a vision and a dreams, an imagination that we are trying to turn into reality.
But most of the times, our thoughts control our emotions, our actions our agenda, and the result seems that it varies and depends on the total sum of our thinking.
**In your workplaces**, everyday you encounter different kinds of ideas and thinking, some you agreed with and some you absolutely opposed with.
My friend let your thoughts wander, free your mind, let your worries by gone, you should not control you kind emotions, because everyday, life is offering you something best, something better a wild best of your lives.
**In your Family:** Every family has unique members, some is favourable at your likings, and some strike your appetite to loss down, normally it is a part of individual to face some certain situation, where in he or she needs to choose between to options.
But, the fact is family is your blood, thicker than any relationship, you ever had,acceptance and understanding is a secret of lasting happiness and a harmonious family ties.
**In Circle Of Friends:** wether we like it or not, it is the reality of friendship, some is with us and some is againts us.
Friendship is a kind of human relationship, that needs to grow and flourish, you probably knows your friends for who they are if you won't get into or bump to their ideas and the way how they value your friendship.

It is easy to call someone as friend, but not showing a real affection of friendship through thick and thin.
**In Strangers You Meet:** Every day we met a different kind of personality, some is from strangers, a person we randomly meet and we dont even know a pieces of information from them, with your thoughts, you will respond to the center situation, with that strangers, and you probably feel awkward in a moments when he or she done something or let say a kind embarrasing.
Honestly you don't know how to react or respond in such event.
***Let your thoughts always wander and let your thoughts defined you.***

Heay Rains Wakes Me Up
It was a wee hour of Friday July 08, 2022, the heavy rains with strong winds gusted.
I slowly opened my heavy eyes, checking time in my handphone, it was 4:59 in the morning.
***The wind blowing hustily and flewed up my curtain inside my window.***
I was so sleepy, but I slowly curled up, and stand to closed my window, back to my bed trying to fall asleep again, but the lights of lightning followed by the roaring thunder makes me wide awake.
I went to wash room and looking myself on the mirror, I look so sleepy after using toilet, I get back to my bed, took my reading glasses and scrolling my facebook.
After a few scroll, I put ny phone aside, as the lightning was so scary, I can see the very shimmering reflection.
Cuddled my boolster covering my whole body with my blanket, but it doesnt makes me comfortable. Twist and turn, turn and twist, the rain getting more heavier as well as the wind, I can hear the tip tap sound of the rain outside my window and the wind that hummering the window glass
I took a glimpse on my phone, it was already 5:13 in the morning, but I still lay awake, I can hear the sound of some early cars passing around and some horns.
I place my earphone to my ear, trying to deafineng my ear, closing my eyes but still I can see the reflection of lightning when its flashed.
I get up and look at the window still it was clearly dark, the rains weakens but still I can see the drizzle on the street lights and the strong winds makes the tree branches swaying.
(*My own photography)*
After some twist and turn, I can feel that my eyes was so heavy, that I wanted to sleep but my mind is so awake.
***It was exactly 5:30 in the morning, but the busy streets, making a lot of noise, I hardly closed my eyes, covering my eyes with my extra pillow and trying to sleep, forget anything.***
In a moment passed, maybe I fall asleep, as in totally in a deep sleep, I woke up 8:12 am and I was delighted to get up, check my messages on my phone, and smile while reading this! My husband greeted me a Happy Monsary a nine years and three months of going strong.
***Screenshot from my messenger***
It makes my morning fresh and energized, inspite what the dawn has bring to me.A terror of the lightning and thunder, but a fresh and a new life in the morning.
Thats life basically, we have to be thankful and be blessed in everyday we are waken up.

Twisted Thoughts
Hello fellow reader and blogster! what a wonderful Day today and the sun was gloomy but up.
July 07,2022 I am from Philippines and I was, sharing you my thoughts about what is the most hot issues around the community.
One hot topic that makes my twisted thoughts is changing the name of NAIA (NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT) into Ferdinand Marcos International Airport.
Will honestly, I don't have much knowlegdge about the history of NAIA but, in my own stand, this is the landmark and the legend of the city, the heart of the Pasay city.
***The Place of history, the memory of all Filipinos, departing and arriving from all destination especially to all Overseas Filipino workers.***
The question is, it is really matter to change its name?
If you are active in social media, especially in facebook it airs the most search and most posted and commented topic sites. It is the most controversial issues, that so many netizen was being interacted with, the changing of hot comments ideas, and some dissappointments, as well as objection why it was being lift up to the senate, to put on debates.
One of the veteran senator, Franklin Drilon, stand and air his sides saying "Leave the NAIA alone. Whats on his says is that we can, see a much objection with in the issues.
In fact, in the side of the society, we can focus on the basic issues, most especially that the peso is still weaken compare to some currencies, and the inflation is still soaring high. So it was basically not an agenda for now I think.
As the new government is just opening and the transition period was just started, how could we cope a new life ahead?
Can we focus more on economic downturn,and subsidy, before we hit the peaks of more complex, problem.
Can we set aside non economical issues, rather than stand in one corner and bustering thoughts that cannot feed the hungry and the needy.
As an ordinary citizen what is our stand againts this issues, can we just sit at one corner and rolled our eyes and closed our mouths?
And just pretend that nothing else matter rather than an personal interest of some politicians?
Economic issues are more complicated, harder that we can imagine if the political group was focusing on the outside the box memorandum rather than what is the most and need urgent resolution.
The harder we avoid the situation, the more difficult to the marginalized people in the society.
