Bridging JOY to Polygon Matic
P.S This article was reposted from Hive, here on read.cash you can understand well the demonstration once there's a images attached, unfortunately I have no enough resource credit to upload more than 1 image that's why I recommended to my readers on hive to visit this link to see those images and understand the topic well.
SmartBCH is one of the trends last year due to a lot of tokens released with pumping value in the market cap. cash, those tokens came from airdrops, staking, swapping, etc. One of those tokens that have been popular and held by investors is JOY. According to market cap. cash JOY is the native reward and governance token of Joystick. club, the first play to earn arcade on SmartBCH. Play games and earn JOY tokens at smart.joystick.club. Save up your JOY tokens to mint NFT Prizes which you can use to stake and earn yield and enhance your gameplay and rewards per play.
It means that the JOY token serves as a currency for different games on Joystick. club. For the knowledge of many of us, Joystick. the club is a pay-to-earn game in which in every game you need to pay $0.25 or 0.0025 BCH in current value. The game had lots of opportunities to bring cause even if a player got a low score then there's still a reward that they can get that's why there's no loss in investment maybe cents only but there's still profit on it. There are lots of games you can choose from and I guarantee all those games are easy to play.
On my own, I love to play Joybot cross since I'm already an expert on it, maybe some players might encounter some bugs in the game however it's normal since the game is in beta mode and not fully furnished, but if you experienced any bugs and concern then you can dm nor chat on telegram group and the admins will try to address your concern. For this blog, I'll indicate the current situation the market experiencing right now since CF had drama right now that leads to the freeze of all withdrawals, it affects the market specifically SBCH since there's an asset locked on CF. Due to this drama, lots of small investors can't withdraw their assets and are currently hostage by CF.
The value of all tokens on SBCH dips within a few days and it brings FUD to other investors. For an instance, the ATH of the JOY token is at $0.22 however during this long crypto winter its value drops to $0.0103 as I writing this post. It's so devastating since the reward base of the game is on FlexUSD which is a stablecoin however its value drops to $0.26. The developers of Joystick. the club decides to leave SBCH for the survivability of the game and the sake of the players. I think they've made a good decision since there's no assurance when will CF continue the withdrawal that might bring the market stable again.
The developers of Joystick. club decide to move into a new chain which is Polygon Matic, I'm glad that they've chosen polygon matic since it has a low transaction fee and is accessible in Metamask. The developers don't give any update about the development however the admin on the telegram group messaged that the developers are so busy moving the entire ecosystem of Joystick. club to polygon Matic. I already knew that the game will move to Matic due to a new release bridge which is NerveBridge that allows the bridging of JOY to Matic from SBCH to the polygon.
To that joystick. club player and JOY holder, I'll demonstrate how to bridge though I can't paste a lot of images since I have limited resource credit. Here's how bridging works, the first thing you need to do is visit this link, https://bridge.nerve.network/ which will direct you to NerveBridge, make sure to use the sign in your metamask, and must be on the SBCH network. After successfully signing up, then you'll be able to do the bridging now just like what you see in the image above.
Make sure that your network is SBCH and you have a JOY balance on your wallet. Click from SmartBCH to polygon which must be the same address on metamask, to those users who have no polygon Matic network then you can add it by following this link https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/connect-metamask-to-polygon-network. The next step is to click asset then choose JOY and enter the amount you want to bridge, I recommend bridging 100 JOY first to test if the bridging works successfully. Don't worry it had a low transaction fee, unlike other bridges.
Then click confirm on metamask and wait for at least 5 to 10 minutes before the transaction is confirmed. It's so easy to bridge JOY to Matic. Though JOY in polygons can have no value I'm sure developers are busy transferring the whole ecosystem of JOY to Matic. We need to wait for their announcement, I know that lots of us are broke right now but I'm sure once everything is fine then we will JOY again. That's all thank you for reading my post, I want to apologize if I can't upload a lot of images to support what I want to explain but you can still follow the post on another blogging platform where the link is posted above.
Attending F2F Class
The campus is very unique among different urban universities in the Philippines cause there are lots of trees around, the main reason behind it is because the campus is located near the airport that's why trees are planted around to absorb the sound vibration came from planes engine, it reduces the noise traveling to the ground. Another thing is, it isn't wide if you'll look outside but you'll be surprised how massive it was inside. The campus is under construction since there are other buildings currently in making.
The cafeteria is also massive and there's a vast space for students to hang out during free time, you'll feel the nature vibes and it's so cold around even if the sun is scorching hot. I decide to go to our room that located in an Italian building. That building is only for the electrical and allied departments and every department had its building. I thought that I'm late but I saw my classmates busy doing their stuff. Suddenly our professor enters and explains to us what we gonna do, and guess what we will simulate using our Arduino and breadboard the traffic lights.
We all know that traffic lights are coded whether they will turn green, yellow, or red base on the timeframe coded on those lights. In that matter, the traffic is well organized due to traffic lights and guess what, it's such a hard task for us. We don't have any schematics to follow, our professor only gives a description we need to analyze, at the first 30 minutes we've done nothing but try analyzing the descriptions. We focus first on making the paper including the objectives, materials, front page, etc.
Then I try to apply the description on the breadboard, it's such a difficult task once the problem isn't simplified and no truth table to follow. My classmates manage to create schematic diagrams and we base them on those schematics and then apply them to our breadboard. I'm so haggard at that moment cause we are on trial and error, we need to light up the LED bulb but we always made a mistake, a single error could lead to a disaster that's why remembering the connection is a must. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm relying on schematics and doing some experiments.
My classmates also joked that once the LED bulb light up then we can consider ourselves logic circuit masters. We start the activity at 2 PM but we aren't finished even if it's already 5 in the afternoon, we are pressured cause the professor wants us to pass our breadboard and paper. I'm so close to finishing the activity but I don't have enough time, I pass it even if it's not yet finished. It made me weak and disappointed in myself cause I didn't make it on time.
My partner asked me if I finished it but I answered it with a sad tone, she still cheers me up and said it's okay, by the way, she made our paper and I'm on doing the circuit but sadly I didn't finish it. Lots of us didn't finish our circuit, and I'm nervous about how I'm gonna explain our work cause it was not finished but in the end, we discover that all of us didn't manage to do the correct schematics which leads us to the wrong circuit. I don't know what I'm gonna feel, should I feel happy cause we are all wrong or feel sad cause our work is wrong which may lead us to low grades. However, I'm sure that we've done our best but it's still not enough, maybe we will regain our loss in the next activity. We will try our best on the next task, hoping that it's not master the level task.

Helping a Friend
I was wondering why there are people who keep complaining about their life situation, they are complaining since they have no new phone to use, no new shoes, they are envious to other people who had such nice cars, nice house and nice life. They can't appreciate a simple things that they have a safe house, they can eat 3 times per day, they have a income which is enough for a single day, yet some of them are complaining about their situation. It's sad to say that it's usually happening to teens right now, they can't be contented on what life they have, they want more and aiming to get things according to trend like phones, clothes, gadgets, and many more.
They can't even appreciate their parents sacrifice to give the basic needs required for them to live and yet they still question why they live in a life that they don't deserve. I am really mad on those arrogant teens who just want to enjoy life, they can't even make their own way like applying for a part time job or grab the opportunity online to earn a income and buy the things they want but they prefer to ask their parents to buy that certain thing they want and once rejected then they will get mad and rebellious. Its truly a world of toxicity right now. Honestly I am one that kind before, i questioned why we are poor and can't afford to give me a money for school but I never complain about our situation.
We are only three in house and my older sister is working for us, I realize that our life is hard, that's why it gave me an idea to make money for myself to buy and afford the things I want and I manage to accomplish it, I bought things I want, I treat myself to places that I want to visit before and investing on myself. Later on I realize that there are still more unfortunate people rather than me and one of those is my friend situation. Their family is currently living on a unsafe condition due to environment they have and the place they are in.
The whole house was their own before but now it was currently nakasanla I don't know the term in English worth 100k and I know that huge amount of money will be earned for years due to lots of expenses. They are currently living on extension of their house which is a barracks and there are other people in that small space. When I climb up on their house it's so unsafe due to open windows which had possibility that someone will enter on their house at night. The worst problem they are facing is, those other people inside their house won't leave and made their own space.
They have such hard faces not to leave even though they have no rights on the house but they are so hard faces to live there and make the house as spot for taking Shabu. You heard it right the house was used a drug den before until now, the problem is they can't stop doing it even if they are stopped. Her older brother is also a drug addict and doesn't contribute anything inside the house. Actually it's not my responsibility to help them but I feel pity on their situation. I want to ease their burden by helping them little by little cause a friend of mine also determine to find a job and help the family.
I want to help them have a safe place to live and I guarantee the current place they are residing is unsafe especially a friend of mine is a lady with such a beautiful face and we can't distuigish a person which had a good or bad intention, that's why I want to contribute every month in order to pay the money for nakasanglang bahay. Maybe you'll ask me, they even not your own family, why you want to help them?. Actually my main agenda is to keep them safe, it's better that they will live in the same environment yet with a safe and wide house which gives more safety. Before I was questioning myself why I prefer to help other people rather than myself then God gave me answer already.
My purpose on this world is to help someone in needs, maybe I was destined to meet this platform and play some NFT games to earn an income to share the blessing that I'm receiving for how many years. Though I can't share enough blessings due to condition we are facing right now in market, but I promise that once market is stable and everything is working again then I will help them according to what can I afford cause I believe that the true happiness can be achieved not by the amount of treasures you have but it is all about the blessings you you've shared to other people.
I know it's quite a shame to ask help to other people here but currently a friend of mine facing a dilemma cause their electricity supply cut off due to unpaid bills, if this article is bless by our dear bot then I'll contribute all the earnings to my friend so that they can pay the bill and their electricity will be back.
Importance of Saving Money
This current situation we are facing right now in crpytoverse isn't something we didn't expect. We didn't expect that the value of BCH will plunged to $100 cause lots of prediction before that it will reach its $1000 ATH again but this situation proves that market is unpredictable. We are facing such tragedy since our assets almost gone by 50 to 70% as we have seen on marketcap.cash. Lots of tokens drops their value at 90% specifically the token I hold which is JOY, it's ATH is $0.22 a few months ago but when crpyto winter got worst as time of writing this article its value is on $0.008 which 0.44 Php once converted into fiat.
It's such a depressing moment for me, gladly I converted its half value a few days ago cause I have a gut that it's value will decrease and yes I'm right. I feel sad about the half amount of JOY on my metamask, I have 400 JOY there that supposedly $80 if the value of JOY is at $0.20, I can't manage to see my balance now cause I think 400 JOY is only worth 200 pesos now heheheh. It's such a huge loss, I'm currently at the state of being a beggar cause i don't have enough money on my wallet since I can't bridge my Sbch to bch since hop.cash is on maintenance due to Coinflex drama we witness right now.
As long as the withdrawal isn't open by Coinflex and either Mark Lamb or Roger telling the truth, the most affected here is more affected due to locked assets they have, their money are currently on hostage and can't do anything but to wait until Coinflex decide to resume the withdrawal. Lots of other companies are also experiencing loss due to drama. It brings a huge crash on market specifically on SBCH cause it was connected to Coinflex.
This dilemma happening right now slap me the reality that not all the time we can experience luck, cause I realize the value of money and the value of saving if this kind of dilemma will happen and I'm currently on state of being a beggar since I have no emergency fund to use. My gcash is empty and supposedly my back up plan is read and noise.cash but currently it also gives a less reward to users since the fund must be enough for coming days or months. I also understand that the donators and sponsors need to lay low in sponsoring the platform due to low value of BCH right now.
This reality hits me so hard, that's the reason why once the market became okay and the NFT game I'm playing right now will operate again them it's time for me to diversify my portfolio then save for my future. I don't know what will happen in crpyto in future, maybe there's another huge crypto winter happen and as a holder we need to come prepared. It made me realize not to put all my money to crpyto but also diversify it by exchanging it on fiat currency and store it on digital wallet that gives interest.
I will also aim to avail as Pagibig member so that I can register on their MP2 which is a great opportunity to store my money in long term earning a dividend rates. The perks of MP2 is it had 5 year maturity period and you can contribute either monthly, yearly or lump sum but the more you contribute the higher compound interest you can earn. Once the market is okay and I was able to earn again, then it's time to save for myself, I will reduce buying stuff that I don't need and i will reduce treating my friends. Cause I hate this characteristics of mine which rather choose to treat others rather than myself.
2067 Purge: Human Annihilation
The world is in chaos right now, the world government just declared a Purge which everyone is welcome to join the 1 day killing and massacre without violating any laws. Lots of arguments and debates regarding this decision but in the end the decision had been made and now the emotions are mixed, there are people who are scared and some are excited. The world isn't like before, the prediction isn't accurate that the population will grow at 10 billion in year 2060 but now the population reached 17 billion which rose exponentially, there's a scarcity in food, water and resources, it isn't enough to feed all humanity, some countries are asking help to feed their citizen cause they can't afford on their own due to collapse government.
Lots of people dying every single day and the people born are doubled each day. At the year 2055, each countries around the world decide to create a one government to govern all the decision for the betterment of each country. At first we thought it was a good idea, there will be no political issues, each country are united to create a decision to ease the dilemma but everything differs from what expected. The one government follows the protocol survival of the fittest. Those countries which have low resources and in verge of collapse has been annihilated and only those rich individuals survived.
The one government composed of one Supreme President with 157 prime ministers representing their countries. Despite of their inhuman act of annihilation, it is not enough to reduce the exponential numbers of population, the problem in resources isn't solved. And then the whole world was astonished when Supreme President gave a speech on emergency broadcast that for the first time in history of mankind, the Purge will be allowed to release all the dark side of humans on their self, in one single day they are freed to execute, kill and massacre any person that they see.
The Supremacy said that those in government with high ranks are immune by the said order and anyone who attempts to kill any high-ranking government officials shall be punished. I know that it's the act of government to reduce the population of this world. I knew that in one single day millions or billions of people will die which may decrease the population. There's a televise announced that the Purge will be starting.
I picked my favorite golden pistol on my cabinet a long with rifles on my back and other equipments on my body. There's a group of people I want to annihilate due to what they've done to my girlfriend. They show no mercy to rob the bank, unluckily my fiancee was inside and killed by those bastards. They've been caught by the authority but they manage to bail out the judge and escape from the cases they are facing. There's a huge person in their back which protecting them. I questioned the decision but they didn't listen to me. I trained for this day for how many years, it's the best opportunity.
I can grab to put the law on my hand and kill those bastards who killed my girlfriend. Now the time has come, the siren overheard around the world as a signal that the Purge has started. I'm on my car driving on a street with no presence of humans, it's like a ghost town but I knew that enemies are hiding everywhere, they are waiting for some victim that they will caught and will murder it brutally. Suddenly I heard a sound of gunfire and the shooting had been started. People are busy killing each other, they have those huge guns which gives explosion and wild noises. The beast had been unleashed inside their souls, they don't care if they will kill children or women as long as they are satisfied by their actions.
Suddenly I was targeted by those Purger and shoot bullets on my car, gladly I was escape before my car explodes, I hide on a corner then pick up my rifle and fire back on enemies. I don't care who I shoot since all of them are my enemies, I was busy firing back when suddenly I saw a civilian hiding inside the restaurant at the middle of battlefield. It's not a part of my plan to help any people in this time of Purge and why on earth they are still there despite of announcement. I fire them back as I'm running at that restaurant, I saw a group of people inside scared and don't know what to do, they are scared when they saw me and point my gun to them. Suddenly they raise their both arms and told me that they've been trapped and needs help. I want to get out of that place and leave them but there's a part of me that want to defend and save them.
Unlucky Month for Everyone
Sa ngayon gusto ko na muna magsulat ng tagalog article para mas lalong maintindihan kung ano gusto kong sabihin, sorry sa mga foreigners jan hehehe pero may translation naman ata dito. So ayun na nga nasabi ko na unlucky month to para sa lahat dahil nadin sa nangyayari ngayon, umpisahan natin sa read at noise.cash. Alam ko na alam niyo rin na konti na lang ang funds ni read at noise dahil nga din sa mababa yung value ni BCH kaya yung mga sponsors ay naglalay low muna sa pagdodonate ng BCH para sa funds. Dahil dun yung mga reward na nakukuha natin is di gaano kalaki pero okay nadin na makakakuha ng 1 to 5 dollars per day which is profitable din naman.
Namiss ko lang yung panahon na kasagsagan ng pagtaas ng BCH na kumikita ako ng P 1,000 isang araw pero ngayon mailap na maliban na lang kung may magtip sayo ng malaki. Siguro nga ganto talaga ang buhay, hindi ko nga akalain na hahantong sa ganto kase may mga analysis na by the end of 2021 and mid 2022 ay aabot ulit ang value ni BCH sa 100k pero namali ata ng analysis kase ngayon nasa 5k na lang ang value ni BCH which is sobrang laking lugi para dun sa mga big maging small investors.
Sa noise.cash naman ganun din nangyayare, sino nakamiss ng araw na makaka $10 ka sa pamamagitan lang ng pagpublish ng short post at pag comment pero ngayon yung 1 dollar need na 2 days pa bago makuha. Sobrang daming nangyayare ngayon lalo na sa joystick.club, sa mga naglalaro jan, malamang isa kayo sa mga nasiyahan nung pumalo sa $0.22 yung value ni JOY at yun yung ATH niya pero nagbago ang ihip ng hangin nung simula ng bumaba ng bumaba ang value ni JOY. Maganda naman talaga maglaro sa JOY, meron nga ako 8 JOYBOTS dun tas pinalaro ko yung 6 sa kaibigan at mga kapatid ko, yung kinita ko noong 2x reward, pinambili ko ng bot nila kase gusto nila maglaro, nasa 10k din yun🥲🥲, tas ayun bumaba ng bumaba yung value ni JOY hanggang sa naging P1 na lang per JOY, ang sakit sa Mata ng market ngayon guys.
Yung JOY dati value niyan nasa $0.22 pero ngayon nasa 0.02 na lang, yung mga stable coins na dapat hindi bumababa ng $1 yung value nila yung flex USD nasa $0.42 na lang, dun naapektuhan yung laro na joystick.club kase nakabase yung reward sa value ng flex USD, for example yung value ng flex USD ay nasa 1 dollar ibig sabihin kapag kumita ka ng 8.7 JOY nasa max reward na yun na $0.60, edi kumita ka ng 33 pesos pero ngayon kase nakadisplay padin yung reward na 0.60 as max reward pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na same value yun kase pag kinonvert mo yung JOY na reward na nakuha mo sa mistswap eh yung value ay mas malaki pa yung ininvest kesa kinita kaya nga di na ako naglalaro muna ng joystick.club kase sobrang lugi.
Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit bumabagsak ang SBCH at BCH ngayon ay dahil sa drama ng Coinflex, nabasa ko sa Telegram na kailangan nilang itigil ang withdrawal dahil sa loss na nararanasan nila ngayon, ang sabi may nawala daw na 47 million USD na pag mamay ari ng isang individual person, pinangalanan na nila at yun ay si Roger Ver, may nabasa akong article na siya daw yung bitcoin Jesus at sinasabi na siya yung single person na merong negative equity na 47 million USD at meron na siyang notice of default kapag hindi niya sinauli yung ganun kalaking halaga pero tinanggi naman ni Ver yung accusations kaso dahil sa drama nayan daming mga small and big time investors ang naapektuhan.
Yung Bridge na hop.cash hindi din gumagana dahil maintenance dahil nga nakaconnect din ang mga transaction sa Coinflex kaya yung pera ko sa Sbch hindi ko mabridge to BCH kaya as of the moment wala akong pera 🥲🥲. Buti na lang ang noise at read.cash ay hindi apektado kaya kahit papaano ay meron naman kahit konti may laman ang wallet. Sana lang maayos nila ang lahat kase nag cacause ng FUD kaya marami nagsesell ng mga assets nika kaya bumabagsak ang market. Hayszzz ang sabi June 30 daw ang continue ng withdrawal pero hanggang ngayon wala pa.
The most Stressful F2F Class I've ever Taken
Yesterday was the most tiring day of my life, imagine that we have class for entire day and we are just sitting there listening to he professor talking about the activity we need to do. At first subject our professor draw a diagram on the board and we need to apply it on circuit diagram. Imagine that if you didn't listen to online classes then you'll not be familiarized by those confusing symbols and that's what happen on me. Actually I knew how to read the diagram, the problem is I don't know where we gonna start.
It's also quite scary cause we are dealing with a machine that might cause spark or trip once there was a wrong connecting wire put on a circuit. The university is also quite strict about the regulations and more than 20 students isn't allowed in one classroom that's why we ended up splitting into two groups and we are placed in another electrical classroom with lots of electrical machines. We start doing the circuit diagram and we are following the schematics, it's quite easy to follow the first rang but it became confusing cause there's a reverse open/close and forward open/close.
We'll there's someone who's trying to do the circuit and we are just there to assist them, it took 30 minutes but still the circuit isn't operating later did we know that the yellow light is broken and it keeps light up. Our professor confirmed that it's broken and we just need to neglect it and try to light up the red one. They arrange the circuit again and gladly it works. After they've done, we decide to pull out all those connecting wires again and try it on our own, supposedly it was a by pair activity but ended up into group activity.
It's confusing to see those lots of wires but once you follow the diagram rang by rang then it's gonna be easy to assemble the circuit. You can see that the circuit is working once the red light is working then you'll need to push the second button below to function the green button then press the red button to energize and then click the third button to function the blue button. Another thing we need to do is function the motor which we need to connect the line 1,2 and 3 to the circuit then connect it to the motor then once the circuit breaker opened the motor will function into forward and reverse rotation.
It's fun yet stressful, at 12 PM our professor let us take our lunch and we went to canteen. If you will visit TUP-Taguig hen you'll be amazed how beautiful it is due to nature type its surroundings, it had lots of trees and plants. I already told in my past article that our university is near on airport that's why the trees had huge role to absorb the sound vibration coming from airplanes engine. The canteen also looks simple but the cafeteria is so massive, there are lots of chairs inside and outside and there are also sheds which used by students to take a rest. We ordered a beef stake which is expensive and a softdrinks, after eating our meal and had chitchat.
We went back to our room and saw that our professor is waiting and he's not that kind of professor which get a long with students. Unlike our motor control professor which vibes on us and telling jokes. Our class start with introduction of our activity, he draw such complex equation on the board. We are split up by pair and we need to do the activity. We start by simplifying the equation. Actually my classmates is so good at it, they've done simplifying it and made a truth table consist of zeroes and ones. After that my partner drawn the schematic diagram and I'm the one who's trying to do the circuit on breadboard.
It's not easy to execute the schematics on the board since it's so complex, we need to make the LED lights function and even our smartest guy in classroom is problematic how to do the circuit. It takes us long hours to do the circuit diagram until our professor announced a unclearly information that puts the whole class into confusion. We thought that he said that we will pass the output on Monday that's why we pull out all those wires and tends to go home until we encounter our professor and told us that he will wait for the circuits cause he will collect and check it.
It made us surprised and we are in confuse, we call our class president and there's really a miscommunication. In the end we go back to our room and we are so hopeless and tired already but we manage to make the circuit works. After that we went to the faculty and pass our works. It's such a tiring day and I hope that it's the last. Just kidding, the battle is starting and we are only second year, I don't know the burden we need to encounter on 3rd and 4th year.
BGC at Night
Yesterday evening I have a plan to jog and visit BGC but I have a second thought since my brother go somewhere and no one left in our house and I'm worried that our house might escape however I saw him at our gate thats why I immediately change my clothes and wear my rubber shoes then ask a permission to hangout alone. I prefer to hangout alone specially if I'm going to jog since there's no disturbance and I have nothing to worry at someone who can't jog continously. Gladly i have my companion which is my earphone played different genres of music that I like. It's slightly late at the afternoon since I reached heritage park at 6:30 PM and it's already dark.
I start jogging across the straight line to AFPHOVAI and its so dark since there's no street light open up but there's still light give by those passing cars. It's safe to jog at heritage park since there are lots of cars passing by, there's a military base around and lots of guards which guarding schools and establishment. When I look at my phone, I already reached the entrance of BGC and saw that it's already 7 in evening. Honestly I'm good at jogging since I can reach from hosing to entrance of BGC in 30 minutes. I choose the path where there's a lot of condo units and intersections are located. I encountered a lot of people, there are people who will go at work, hang out, couples, families, foreigners and even those people who driving sports car that loves to roar the engine.
If your not jogging and wearing a slippers then you'll feel ashamed to step inside BGC cause literally your surrounded by rich people wearing those clothes that will make you realize how poor you are. Actually it's hard to distuigish people in BGC there might be literally rich people and those who act only and holding a milk tea on their hands, I'm not there to judge. Well I'm glad that it's night cause my shoe is quite dirty due to stepping on dust. I look around and seen such fancy restaurant that you can't enter without any reservation. It's quite fun to roam around BGC since you can hear different languages and how rich people talk. I roam around and saw an event of Food Panda, I think it was Paupau's birthday, their panda logo and they are organizing a party, games and events. It's free to enter and try different stuff. I feel tired due to long jog that's why I decide to rest at one area and took some photos.
As you can see in the background there's a carnival at the front, that's the event of Food Panda. I was sitting at the bench together with other people who's also admiring the view since I can say that it was so beautiful. Though I feel annoyed since I was surrounded by couples who's very sweet to each other. I stayed there for 30 minutes until I decide to go home. It's quite fun to see BGC again for how many weeks, I jog again and return to entrance. But first I took the opportunity to take photo of such a beautiful garden.
It's already 8:30 in the evening at that time and I take a chance to capture such aesthetic view but my camera is bad and it has no night mode. Sorry for the quality but I did my best to get a best angle until there's a two couple who made me surprised since they will pass, I let them pass and took photo again. After that I feel hungry that's why I went to my favorite paresan located at the entrance then order a pares with rice and a softdrinks. After eating, I waited for a jeep to stop but there's nothing passing jeepney. I have no choice but to walk since I'm still full but later on I run until I reached Heritage Park, it's already 9:30 in evening yet there are still couple in heritage park which talking and maybe doing some miracle, just kidding. It's normal to see couple in heritage park even late at night.
Savings and Investment for my Future
It's not easy to earn money in this world, maybe there are easy money but those are in illegal acts. We all know that money revolves this world, without it then you can't afford the living condition specifically if your residing at rural areas which every move cost money. In today's situation the value of money became lesser and lesser as time goes by, the prices of goods dramatically rises and the cost of living is increasing that's why we can see lots of poor people due to the effect of inflation. I saw lots of people who had no financial management including me, I like to spend my money in buying things that I want and treating other people later on I will realize that I don't have money left on my wallet.
That's the main reason why I dig on different videos regarding financial literacy, from that moment I learned a lot of things regarding financial management and the hindrance that we might encounter in future like rising inflation that leads to loosing the value of money. There are lots of vloggers in YouTube teaching about financial management, you can learn a lot of things that makes you realized the important of saving and investing your money. I've encountered a lot of videos until I bumped on video regarding the Ginvest which you can see at your own gcash dashboard.
Ginvest compost of different type of bonds which owned by ATRAM, it's investing company in other country and considered to be legit since it was on Gcash. The way of investing became more easier since in one click you can have a share on companies like Jollibee, Manila Water, Meralco, other big companies inside the country like SM, Ayala Land and many more, you can also get a share on big companies abroad like Amazon, Alibaba, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. It's easy and affordable since as low as 50 pesos you can already invest in Ginvest. I will explain how it works but I will only rely on my overview since I didn't study about this and only watched on YouTube.
Ginvest had different fund you can choose. The value of each fund will regard to the flow of Market since it connects to Multi-assets, Stocks, PESI, Global Technology and Consumer Trends, it means that it's the same on other investment companies which also investing in stock markets. There's a cash manager who's managing the pools of investors, they are the one who's investing those money to stocks and once earned then there would be an income added to your balance but it doesn't mean that you've invest a 50 pesos then it will become a hundred in single day. In Ginvest you are buying a units and the more higher you invest the more units you can own. The risk is also there since there's a possibility that you can have a great lose when the market is very down.
The saying invest what you can afford to lose is still there, the higher risk you take the higher reward you can get. There are different funds you can choose local and international, those local funds are ATRAM Peso Money Market fund, Total Return Peso Bond, Philippine Equity Smart Index fund, in that funds you can start by investing a minimum amount of 50 pesos and you already have shares on different companies here on Philippines. There are other global funds like Global Multi-Asset Income Fund, Global Consumer Trend, and Global Technology Feeder Fund which had minimum investment of 1000.
Actually it's a good opportunity to save your money here but if you are a conservative person then you choose a Peso Money Marker which had a NAVPU of 0.44% which is higher than traditional banks that only gives 0.25% interest on your savings but if your a risk taker and had a lot of money then those Global funds are destined to you. Maybe you can say that Ginvest is a good opportunity but there's also a downside on it like the fee you need to pay to the managers who's handling the money, though it's normal that they must get paid to their work but once the market is down and everything is at loss, investors still required to pay the cash managers.
Another downside is the business days before you can sell your assets since it takes 3 to 7 business days before you can receive your money and on that interval of time, there might be a lot of changes in market maybe it will earn or loss that's why the its one of the downside of Ginvest but I think they need to verify first the assets before deliver it on your account. Overall, I can say that Ginvest is for everyone who's willing to risk nor save their money, it's important that we should circulate our money and earn interest from it rather than staying it on your bank account that only earn a very little interest. Always follow the rule of invest what you can afford to lose and take at your own risk. There are other investment opportunity I will share to you, maybe tomorrow let's talk about Pagibig MP2.
My First F2F Class
Since 2018 when the suspension of classes been declared due to widespread of COVID-19. Lots of institutions adjusted and moved online including education. Lots of arguments happened regarding the implementation of online class due to financial problems but it doesn't stop the education to continue. In my experience it's not easy to attend online class everyday due to different factors like internet connection, affordability of gadgets, time, etc. i can't focus a lot on my studies since I have lots to do inside the house but gratefully I managed to pass the subject and moved to second year, as of now we are on 2nd year third semester and seems like everything turns slowly to normal.
Face to face class is allowed but limited only, protocol should be lifted and students are required to have waiver as a proof that the guardian or parents allowed he student to attend. Though it's questionable why elementary, high-school and senior highschool are allowed to conduct a face to face but for college students we are so limited and allowed only if there's a laboratory activities. Maybe the universities are still on process of fixing everything including permissions. Anyways, my first face to face class happened last Monday during our motor control subject. We are required to attend since our previous face to face class, our scheduled got canceled due to emergency meeting and that's the time I decide to go in market market and watch Dr. Strange.
If you are going to TUP, students are required to wear a shirt in any color and maong pants since the guard won't allow you to enter. I brought my waiver, ID and vaccination card and gladly I entered at the campus, though i have no pictures what our campus look like but it was surrounded with a lot of trees, it's the only university in metropolitan Manila that look like a forest. The main reason why there are lots of trees around is, the campus is located near the airport. The vibration came from the engine of planes are being absorbed by those trees and reduce the sound vibration coming down to the ground. It's It's beautiful once you enter at TUP, outside the campus you can see that it's so small but once your inside then you'll be surprised to see such massive places.
I encountered my classmates at the corridor also waiting for our professor to come, we are so happy to see each other in person. After a while our professor came and we greet him a good morning, we went inside on of laboratory room and seen a lot of machineries in electrical activities. I saw familiar set ups that we only saw on our simulations. We are worried since we are only few inside the room and our professor might scold us. Hopefully he's not mad since there are lots of beautiful ladies inside the room which his weakness.
He draw the diagram on the board that we need to follow and do it on the board. Our professor made the circuit on the board and connect it on power supply and it works, we are amazed on what we see. We need to do it also, the activity must be done indivudual but we do it in a group and helped each other to put those connecting wires and follow the diagram. In the end we managed to finished the circuit board and make it work. It's really scary to run the board since in one snap the whole circuit might explode, just kidding the circuit is protected by different insulation that's why there might an accident happen but it's minimal like sparks.
One time there's a spark happened, hopefully I saw it and I replaced the wire connected on power supply. I'm so haggard on that photo since we do the activity for an hour and we are on trial and error. Overall, I enjoyed the feeling of attending at f2f class since I met my classmates which I only saw online and we have a bonding. After the class we went to SM Bicutan to hang out, we first order a perfume at penshoppee then went at arcade place and play diffent games then went to food stalls to order foods. Its such a great experience and there's another f2f class this incoming Friday.
The Experience of Attending at Doctrine of INC
Religion is a common among people, it is what people believe and apply in everyday life. For an instance, the most well known religion in the world which is Catholic with billions of believers. Those catholic people including me belief in what written in Bible and we apply it on our everyday life. There are also other religious practices like Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, etc. in other countries. Here on Philippines, people have different religions specially among 3 archipelago which is Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Most of the people in Luzon are Catholic, others are Muslim, INC, Mormons, etc. same on Visayas but mostly there are lots of Muslims in Mindanao which is considered as the first religion that came after Christianity.
There are lots of religions to the point that it creates a debate and questions regarding the evidence and pointing out the flaws of each religion. As a catholic I believe in 3 persona in this world which is the God itself, the son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We usually rely on Bible as a source of divine knowledge but I don't stick on one religion and prefer to explore other religion. I have this friend which is currently on his doctrine to convert himself to Iglesia ni Cristo. I asked his reason and he told me that he was attracted by the lessons and truth teach to him. He encourage me to attend the doctrine then I tried it last week.
When I was inside their chapel, it's very different from Catholic church since they don't have any figure of Saint nor Jesus Christ in front. I asked one of the attendee and told me that we shouldn't praise those things made by humans and I remember that praising human made sculpture nor things is forbidden by God and it was practiced by Catholic as we can see today which we praised Sto. Nino and other Saints. INC follows what's truly written on the Bible. Their founder is Ka. Felix Manalo which read the whole Bible and realize that those written on Bible isn't followed by Catholic that's why he founded INC as a true follower of God's commandment.
I know that there are INC on this platform, correct me if I shared wrong information since I only rely on information given to me. Being member of INC isn't easy, if you have plan to convert then you need to attend 25 lessons which composed of truth about Bible and what is INC. When the mass started, I don't know if the right term is mass but when it was started they didn't execute a sign of the cross and I forgot already why they didn't do sign of the cross and also they always responding "opo" and "amen" to the speaker in front which I don't know what they called it but they are calling it with Ka.
It's fun to attend their mass since the speaker on front speaks clear and also combine it with jokes. I attended the 3rd in 25 lessons which explain to us the obligation of INC members to praise God 2 times per week and need to wear a formal attire since we are facing God. Also, it was written on Bible that we shouldn't make any excuse not to attend nor praise God. We should give a time in our whole day to give thanks and praise God which Catholism doesn't do since it's believers only attend at Sunday wearing any kind of clothes.
I'm a Catholic but I realize that we didn't do the task that God command to us. I just tried to attend the mass and I enjoyed it a lot, their members are friendly and accommodating. Usually I'm not listening to the priest once the mass started but when I listened to the pastor speaking in front, I focus myself and try to absorb information that I heard. Though I was planning to attend again but my friend is in Cavite right now and I feel shy to attend alone since I don't have any friend inside the chapel.
I love you in Every Universe
Are you familiar with my title? maybe you are if you already watched the movie Dr. Strange. It's such a good movie that rated PG actually I am planning to watch this on first week that it's available on cinema but I am not in mood to watch it. Actually last Monday we have supposedly face to face class that we need to attend but I don't why our professor suddenly announced that those students in 10 to 12 PM session is canceled. I'm disappointed at it since I already wore my white shirt and I'm well prepared, another thing is my classmate message me that he will accompany me to go in our university but our class got canceled that's why we plan to hangout.
But suddenly my girl friend pops up in front of me and asked her where she's going then she said that she will come to our house. She's currently in state of problems that time since she and her family had conflict that leads to file cases for physical injuries and blotter their cases to barangay. I was with my classmate and we are planning to hangout but I decide to accompany my girl friend and my classmate told me that it's okay and then he went home. I walk with my friend then I asked her what happen and ask her side, she tell the whole story, of course as a person with own mind we will try to assess the situation base on our own advantage and she told me that she's the victim. Actually I'm not a biased person, I look two different faces of each story to assess what is truly fact.
I listened to her rant and she told me that her family filed a case against her in police station and the same action she do by filing also a case. She was outcasted and currently she's living at the house of her friend. They are so busy gathering evidence to prove their side like medical certification proving that she had bruises due to fight. I didn't bother to follow them at all that's why when I notice they are no longer in that place I decide to go home and get my COR since I will get my ID in my university. When I came there, the guards are very accommodating and pointed the building where I can get my ID. I went inside the office then a lady let me sign in a piece of paper as proof that I got my ID. As usual I look like alien on my picture.
After that I decide to travel along FTI until I saw a jeepney that travel along market market and Guadalupe that's why I ride on it then went to Market Market. I didn't took photos since I'm not that typical person who loves to take selfies nor photos. I roam around until I encounter my friend earlier together with other people, I pretend that I didn't see them and walk normally while wearing my earphone. I feel hungry that's why i went down to McDo to take an order and eat. After that I went at the 5th floor of Market market and roam around time zone. I am hesitant to buy the time zone card cause it's quite expensive that's why I make myself have fun in watching different games played by different people. After that I went at the ticket booth which people are going to choose movies and their seat.
I managed to buy my ticket and choose a seat, I choose the vacant seat at the middle since I am comfortable with that. The movie will start at 2 PM and it's 12:30 at that time that's why I roam again and went to time zone to buy tokens and sing at karaoke.
I am alone that's why I choose those songs with high notes that breaks eardrums, the karaoke is sealed with glasses that's why there's no sound coming out of the booth. I enjoyed singing a lot and play other games, the next thing I did is I went to mini stop to buy foods for me. Then go back again to 5th floor to wait for the cinema to open. At exact 2 PM, couple of people entered on cinema to watch a movie. I miss it a lot since its been years since the last time I went to cinema. I took my tab and take a photo on big screen since it's not allowed to capture nor record once the movie started.
The movie titled Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness if I'm not mistaken, it's after event after the end game which Thanos died. The protagonist here is Dr. Strange together with a lady which had the power to travel across multiverse. There's a women which is Wanda a hero during end game but changed due to her desire to touch and see her children in her dreams. It's such a complex story, there are monsters, lots of sorcery and also there are also sad part and prove that some evil people had reasons why they need to do it but few people can only understand them, they are evil in front of many people that's why as time goes by it stuck in their mind that they are truly evil. The part which almost made me cry is when Dr. Strange met his lover on other universe named Catherine and they will separate apart, Dr. Strange told to Catherine that "I love you in every universe" and then Katherine replied that "I rejected you in every universe".
Inactivity for Weeks
It's been 2 weeks since the last time I've published here, one of my reason is the news that I've read that the fund of both platform read and noise.cash is depleting, there's a user predict that the fund will totally consumed almost 2 years from now and another prediction that it last 12 days if the reward distributed everyday will be at $500. That's one of the reason why I stopped publishing since I want to conserve the fund even if it's just cents. When I rest from publishing I focus myself in playing at joystick.club, I've enjoyed it a lot and I earned good amount of income from playing. I used my laptop in playing since it's more easy and fast to play. Another event is I got my Philhealth which is required in face to face class, though i was in informal economy and I don't know if I will pay it monthly or yearly.
I got a premium which cost 400 pesos. I used that card to verify my gcash and I'm glad it was accepted. Another event happened to me this past weeks is the 2x reward on the game Joystick.club, I found it a lucky for us since it was a event last for 7 days, we took that opportunity to accumulate more income, we played and we are so happy to got those huge amount of income. The problem with their event is there's a lot of bugs and pending rewards on our wallet. We asked the admin about it and they can't address the issue. The worst thing happened on me during their 2x event is I got banned. I don't know why I got banned, I asked them and they concluded that I'm using a bot software to cheat on the game but it's very impossible since I don't know how to use botting software.
They can't see my history that I'm really good at playing their game, I played the game a thousand times that's why it's very easy for me to reach the required score and get the max reward. The problem is their security system, they can't truly detect anomaly inside the game, I think they only relying on their hunch who will they ban. As long as they see those players who are good in playing they will suspect it as cheater. I was really pissed off on their actions since those rewards are what we work hard for hours but didn't transfer on our wallet which is unfair to us since we also pay to earn the game. This week also there's unexpected problem happened, my friend and her family got a commotion, she was outcasted due to physical fight and there's a filed cases in barangay due to what happen.
As not a biased person i get two side of what happen and as expected two opposite party had different version that's why I decide not to get involved. They are letting me choose who's I want to side on, you know what I did? I blocked them all so that they won't message me, am I too cruel? I don't want to get involve. This past few weeks is such full of problems, specially this day which the game Joystick.club had problems again, the reward is on pending and its been a day but the problem still not solve, they say the funds run out but when we look at the leaderboard lots of users got banned with no reason. I really hate their act like that, they have no such proof and no notice that they will ban a user.
As of now the game is working but the reward is freeze on outstanding joy, I think they are so busy banning skilled player, as long as they see those users who had good record in every game then they will immediately ban it. I don't know why they won't allowed those players who play thegame consecutively. As a player I'm also paying but those fee we used are wasted if the reward isn't received by us. It's a sad news for us , as I notice that the value of JOY also dumping right now along with bloody market. I hope the market will recover for such huge loss.
Daming nang nangyari for a week, may Bali balita na konti na lang daw and funds kaya naisip ko na wag muna magpublish, give chance to others daw ako hahah, tapos madami din disappointment hayszz, Ewan ko ba kung bakit di ako makapagsulat. Sana lang di pa nasaspam itong account.
My Backup Plan Once Read.cash is Gone
I read a lot of articles this month regarding their plans once read.cash isn't running anymore. At first, I thought that they think negative about this platform until I realize that there's a possibility that it might happen since the fund of this platform is depleting as time goes by. 2 years ago, I was astounded by the huge amount of fund of read.cash since you can see it at the top of site, I really thought before that it will increase as time goes by but I'm wrong. Of course the supporter and sponsor of this platform isn't at the of the world all the time specially now that the market is crashing that's why crpyto holders and sponsors need to HODL their assets temporarily until the market is pumping again but this time it might be impossible since the market is still on red.
According to other users here, the fund of read.cash might drain more than 2 years from now, it might sound long time but time goes so fast and we have no proper tool to exactly distuigish the time where the fund will totally distributed. Unlike before that the value of BCH is so high that the fund is decrease slowly but now it rapidly decrease due to low value of BCH, imagine that there's a hundreds of users publishing their articles everyday then we will estimate that every user will gain $4 for their articles then it will drain the fund rapidly. I am not saying that we shouldn't publish an article since it's one of our source of income but we should be worry about it.
Other user said that the fund will get drain maybe less than 2 years if the value of BCH keep pumping, we have no control on market that's why we can't predict when it will turns to green again however for the meantime we should prepare some back up plan to address the issue regarding the end of read.cash. One of those back up plans should be related to crpytoverse. There are lots of other blogging platforms that you can try, there's a publishox, HIVE, and you can also apply as a freelancer since you already have a background on writing.
Another thing is exploring the cryptoverse, I know that it's risky right now to invest on new tokens that was released and stake our hard earn money on buying more assets but we should choose those projects that had potential, of course we should always do a research so that we have knowledge about the project we are interested with. Another plan you can choose is get a job in real world, it's better that we have a real job since it might serve as a source of income once our freelance job in virtual world is gone.
As for me I'm still studying that's why looking for a job isn't my priority right now. Im not into freelancing since I admit that even if I'm writing here for more than a year but still I'm a newbie and my publish articles are all nonsense. The only way I saw as my back up plan is to explore more of SmartBCH Network, honestly it's the project I trust the most though there are projects which is scam and full of rugpull but still I trust SmartBCH. I bought tokens before but I sold them all in exchange of buying JOY token and buying some NFTs.
I told you already about joystick.club, it's a game on that support SmartBCH and it had lots of games to play. It's one of my source of income other than read.cash, I enjoyed playing and also earning JOY token on Joystick.club. It needs investment specially joybot NFT which you need to mint for 500 JOY for a chance to get a rare bot but if you are aiming to use joybot as an access to the game then you can buy it on Oasis.cash which I done yesterday since my sister also want to play and earn.
Those are my backup plan once read.cash isn't in operation anymore, it's better to come prepare rather than waiting for the moments that it's already end, however I'm still hoping that read.cash will last forever specially that there are lots of users depending on it. I think the only solution to make read.cash last is making the market pump again, for that reason the value of BCH will increase along with the value of funds.
What Happen When We Die?
Have you ever wonder what happen on human once they leave this world? What happens to their body, their soul and their spirit? It's a crucial topic to write but it's the reality we need to accept. Death is an event in our life that we can't avoid nor predict, it's something that we must ready on, we must be ready the things on our life, we must have enough plan and savings so that our family won't be problematic how to cover our funeral and burial. There are lots of factors that might put the life of a human to death, one of the common is old age, we all know that human life is limited, we have limited time to spare on this world that's why we need to spare every seconds of our life in valuable matters.
Another factor is death by illness, our body is very vulnerable to different diseases, sometimes there are illness that isn't curable and they can only do a chemotherapy to lessen the spread of virus in body but there are unlucky people who didn't manage to survive the illness and rest already. It's such a hard time for the family but they need to accept the fact that we didn't hold our life, it's a borrowed body that we have no ability to make it immortal. There are also cases that human die due to bad people that made such hideous crimes. This world is full of evil people and they don't have any conscience to kill in exchange of money.
The most affected on this one is the family and friends, they won't accept the fact that their loved ones left them in this world. It takes time for them to heal the sorrow and pain but they will do a final tribute to you, they will arrange and attend your funeral. Lots of people will come to your funeral and cry, they will tell nice things about you, they will see your worth and they will feel regret that they didn't get a chance to have a bond with when your still alive.
But are you wondering what happens when a person die? Scientifically speaking, our body is composed of living tissues and organism that later on will decay once the body is already dead. They say that there's nothing will happen, once our brain stops working and our heart stops breathing, that will be the end of everything. However, In Christian belief, there are 3 states that will happen if human die, according to holy scripture, humans was made in dust and once his body die it will also turn into dust. There are 3 parts of human will disperse in this world.
First is body that will get decompose and turn into dust as time goes by, second is the soul that will travel along the journey up to purgatory that shall be judge and balance the good and bad things that done on this world. Lastly, is the spirit that will remain on this world and will be own by nature. They say that it takes 40 days before your soul will finally enter in heaven. That's the time that we can rest already and live in eternal life.
Overall, our life is limited, we can't distuigish when or what will happen after we die. It's better to be prepared on it, they say that we must enjoy life and don't think about it but we need to be practical. As early as possible we need to have a funeral plan and save money for our family. We should not left them a burden on where they will get the money that will use to pay our burial.
For me once I got a job then I'll prepare everything that is needed, like my Philhealth, SSS, Pagibig, saving money on bank and have a funeral plan since life isn't predictable, maybe tomorrow or next week God will take back the life that was given to me and I can't do anything to oppose the divine action.
Why You Should Visit Taguig City?
Have you ever been in Taguig City? This place can give all the things you like, from tourist attractions to shopping mall, taguig can give it all. Taguig City is part of Metro Manila which it is considered as one of advance City in Philippines since taguig can compete in any cities in other countries. Taguig also had low crime rate due to dedication of police to catch criminals and also the local government focus on helping Taguigeños in overcoming poverty by giving them assistance and providing work for them. Taguig is not a perfect place since there are still operation of illegal drugs specially on bars and clubs which drugs are rampant. I think any place in this country had that kind of problem that really hard to solve. However there are lots of beautiful things that Taguig can give such as.
Venice Grand Canal
This is located at Mc Kinley hills which is one of the treasure of Taguig, the whole place is replica of Venice Italy specially the canal located at the middle. It is exclusive for rich people before but it was now open for public. Though there are lots of people visiting the place still it's elegance and beauty us ready to compete with any other beautiful places in the world. It is all package, there's a shopping mall, there's a restaurants, there's a clinic and can give a nice environment for everyone. There are also performers around, if you'll see it outside it looks like a small place but once you enter you'll be surprise how massive the place is. The classic music that plays in every corner of the place makes people calm. It is also very quiet and you can only here footsteps of people. If you have budget and looking for expensive things then Venice might give it to you. It will well known in taguig that's why you'll immediately go to it by asking people around.
Heritage Park
Heritage Park is located near on Water Fun but actually it's so massive that you can't distinguish where's the center of it. Maybe you'll need to ask Heritage park near at Water Fun and the drivers will recognized it immediately. It serves as a memorial park for those people who leave in this world. Anyone can be buried on this place, there are lots of houses built which the whole deceased brethen are in one place. I can say that only those rich people can afford to build homes for their deceased loved once but there are also spaces for ordinary people. They are buried six feet under the ground with name at the top written on stone. There are part of this area which public people are free to hangout and roam around. The area is good place to have a jogging every morning, it's a good place to bring your ex on Heritage park to bury your memories, just kidding.
Bonifacio Global City
This is my most favorite place in Taguig, BGC is one of most advance cities in Philippines since it had lots of things to give. I am always hanging out on this place everytime I jog. I prefer to jog on this place alone since I admire the lights on this place. There are attractions you can visit, there are lots of restaurant around, there are clothing store and many more. Among all the places I recommend this the most. It is better to visit this place at night since there are lots of foreigners roaming around and also beautiful ladies you can admire. It is near at Market Market that's why you can walk in a distance and you can reach BGC.
Market Market
It is also known as shopping mall of all people, Market market is one of the popular shopping mall in Taguig. It had variety of things to give, there are shopping centers, there's a cinema, there's a restaurants, fast food chains, arcade and many more. I more prefer to visit this rather than in Aura since Market is more on public rather than in Aura which you need to act in elegant way. Though I like to hangout at the top of Aura in which there is rooftop and gives an elegant view. Overall, this shopping mall is what I recommend for everyone, the prices of items are also cheap and there are discounts.
Where is more safe Place to Live? Province or Manila?
We are living in this world which everything is dangerous, it's difficult to trust no one cause they might have bad intention towards you. We are living in society that isn't safe for everyone, there are crimes happen everyday there are people killed, raped and molested every hour. This world isn't safe place specially to women. We all know that women are vulnerable to this possible hideous events that's why precautions is always must practice.
If we put it on perspective, even our friends can do bad things to us, maybe they are planning to do something on us specially to those ladies who had boy friends which there's no assurance that they are willing to protect the girl friends that they have, we all know what runs on mind of boys once they see an opportunity. We can't read people's mind that's why we can't distuigish what's running on their mind.
Its always recommendable to choose a person who had clear intention, it's important to be friend with those people who isn't involve in any bad activities. Even in simple matters we shouldn't show any action that might caught the attention of maniac people. If they seen you on your weakness then they might ambush you in an instant and initiate his or her dark plan. One of those instances that your vulnerable is walking on the street alone.
This is common cases to people who's having work and needs to overtime, they had no vehicle to ride on that's why they decide to walk a distance to their house. It's one of the vulnerable moment which bad people might execute bad act towards you. You are walking on alley when suddenly there's a man following you and seems like suspicious. That man might holding a gun or a knife to rob you. If you are facing this kind of situation then it's better to give what he wants so that there's more chances you can survive.
If you are on tight situation, it's better not to fight or else it might put you in end. Those bad people are focus on what they want to get and they need to execute the crime immediately so that there will be no people will see other than you. However if you have knowledge on self defense, you can use it to take down the bad guy. This world isn't safe for everyone anymore, criminals are more confident to do crimes since they knew how the system works. Let's go back to the question I asked on the title.
Where is more safe Place to Live? province or Manila? This question runs on my mind when I saw a news about a teenage girl which got raped and killed. I am wondering where's more safe to live. I'm currently here on Manila and when people hear the word Manila the first thing comes on their mind is criminality, not safe place, and other bad things but when we hear the word province, we can say that it's peaceful and safe place to live but did you notice that hideous crimes usually happened on province? Let's compare the diffence of Manila and Provinces.
In Manila, there's a little chance which you will be robbed or get victimized by bad people once you are walking in street alone while there are lots of cars passing by and there are people around. While in province the houses are hundreds of meters away from each other that's why it there's a bad person which targets you, you can't asked helped since people won't hear you. The places here on Manila was covered with CCTV that's why criminals can't do crimes while the camera is in vision.
Rather than in province which criminals are free to execute their dark plan since there will no witness or any evidence that will prove they are involved on that activity. Let's give an example on it. I saw on news about a teenage girl who got raped and killed, her body was thrown in area which people can't see. Later on someone found her body in bushes and the suspect isn't recognized yet. The case is still on going and I hope the justice will be serve and the criminal will be catch.
This proved that in provinces there's a more chance that ladies will be in bad situation, my advise is always do some precautions. Do not go out on house alone since there might bad guys which waiting for you and done those hideous acts. If you have important matters to do its better to get accompany by your siblings or friends for safety. It's not a safe place for everyone, we can't know what's bad thoughts running on people's mind that's why it's better to be safe than sorry.
Chikakiku and Friends
Yesterday is a busy day for us but we enjoyed it a lot, our university required us to have a drug test and Xray, hopefully there are only few students inside the campus that's why we easily got an access to registration area and fill up the paper. After that we went to mobile van to have an X-ray, well honestly you can easily get an x-ray on me if you will face me on sunlight then my ribs will be seen haha just kidding. After we finished our x-ray we went back to registration area to pass the signed paper then the attendant give us a small bottle for our urine, the sample we will get will be use to examine if we are positive or negative on drugs, I'm hoping that I'm negative though I'm not into illegal drugs. After we passed all the papers and sample we enjoyed roaming around the vicinity of TUP Taguig.
We have picture taking inside the campus and I can't believe how massive this place is if you will look it outside. The entrance seems small but the vicinity is so huge, there are on going construction that's why we are limited to visit different places. What I love inside is the area which the student can rest and admire the beauty of nature, after that we decide to leave and visit our friend house to asked him to hangout with us.
We are also there to borrow the joybot since he rarely play at Joystick.club and one of my friend wants to borrow it, I already practice how to unstake and transfer the joybot that's why we done it immediately. After he finished changing clothes we walk through highway which we gonna wait for jeepney that will cross at Market Market. Little did I know that we have a meeting on class, we are currently on orientation week that's why it's not that important if I didn't listen but I still attend the class.
When we go down from jeep suddenly the rain pours and even if we had umbrella still we got wet, we are planning to visit Aura since there's a floor there which serve for those people who will get government ID, Philhealth, SSS, renewal of documents and many more, I was surprised to see such long queue of people. I am planning to fall in line when my friend asked if I have barangay indigency then I remember I haven't. That's why we leave the line and decide to visit Market market. I need first to go in barangay to get that document as a proof that I'm a resident.
We went inside the market and roam around, we decide to visit some arcade games and we want to sing inside the mini karaoke stand but there are still people inside, we keep waiting and waiting but I think they have no plan to leave the karaoke. We feel so tired walking that's why we rest at the edge and click our phones. We can't visit BGC since it's still bright and BGC is interesting to visit once night come since there are lots of activities done at night and the area was filled with beautiful ladies.
I am so haggard at that moment since I'm I'm hungry and haggard at that moment I'm waiting for tissue paper that include on our order since my face is already oily. We ordered 3 unli rice and drinks, I think it made me call for 3 more cups of rice since I'm so hungry at that moment. After we finished our food, we rest for a while since we are full. We leave at the place since there are other customers who's gonna use our table. We leave market market to visit BGC, it's still bright but I can see that the area is already alive. They are looking for a place which there's a pull up bars and I point them the area but they say its located at the back of Market market, we go back and we reached the place they are talking. We stayed there for a while and have picture taking.
After that the real battle begin when it's time to deal with rush hour and have a race with other passengers who also wants wants go home. We waited at first point but there's no jeepney passing by that's why we went to another spot and we seen such massive amount of passengers waiting for jeepney. We attempt to ride on every jeepney passing by but it was immediately get filled. We waited for a right moment until a jeepney with few passengers arrived then suddenly we rushed inside and we start pushing each other just to get inside. We managed to get a seat but the jeep is fully loaded which some passengers are on floor. It's such a tough battle, one of my friend got a bruise on his arm due to pushing. In the end we managed to go home safe, but I instantly put alcohols and change my clothes as assurance.
A Story of the King and 4 Wives
Once upon a time in the kingdom far far away, there was a king that is already bed ridden and waiting for his death, he was afraid to die alone that's why he encourage his wives to accompany him to the afterlife so that he won't feel lonely. He called his 4th wife, the king loves her do much to the point that he gives expensive things to her, diamonds, jewelries and different accessories, the king loves him so much to the point that he pour everything to his 4th wife however when the king asked him if she is willing to accompany him to the afterlife, the 4th wife said, "sorry I can't grant your wish", after that the 4th wife run away and left the king, the king felt sad about if since after everything he done to his 4th wife still she doesn't want to accompany him in afterlife.
After that he called his 3rd wife, the king also loved his 3rd wife, the third one is special to him that the king always bring his 3rd wife in every occasion which there are visitors around, the king showed how beautiful his 3rd wife is, however when the king asked his 3rd wife if she is willing to accompany him to afterlife, the 3rd wife refused and said that she can't do it, once the king die, she will be remarry. The king felt sad about it, then he called his 2nd wife which always at his side no matter what situation is, his 2nd wife is always there to support him and give his wants but when he asked his 2nd wife if she's willing to accompany him to after life, the 2nd wife refused and said that she can't do it, but she is willing to arrange and attend the funeral of the king.
The king felt sad about it, he was wondering why no one wants to accompany him to afterlife despite all the thing he done to them. Then the first wife approached him and said that she's willing to accompany the king to afterlife, the king cried and feel regret, the 1st wife was given least attention. The moral of this story is not all people or things can accompany us in after life. The 4th wife resembles our body, we decorate our body, attached decorations on it to make it beautiful however our body is a physical entity that can't accompany us in afterlife. No matter what we will do our body will decompose once we perish on this world. The third wife symbolized our possession, we really loves to flex our possessions to other people, those belongings like watches, jewelry, money, gadgets.
But once we die we can't bring it on after life, the 3rd wife said that if the king die, she will remarry other man, it means that those possessions will be owned by other people. The 2nd wife resembles our family and friends, they are always there to support us and give our needs but they can't accompany us in after life. The only thing they can do when we die is to arrange and mourn at our funeral. The 1st wife resembles our soul, it is the only one who will accompany us in afterlife and us humans gives less attention to it. We neglect our soul and focus on material thing, we prefer to take care our possessions rather than our soul that's why it get weaken and reached its final point.
All I want to say is, as we have still life on this planet, we must cherish and protect our soul, there's nothing wrong in giving attention to material things but we shouldn't forget the importance of our soul. We have still time in this world to appreciate more things in life cause we can't predict where or when will death happen, we must spend our time with our family, give importance to people around us, hang out with our friends and enjoy life. We have limited time in this world and we must spend it in useful ways.
This will be the end of this story, I hope you've learned something about it honestly I realized something when I watched this while I'm scrolling on Facebook. This story proved that no matter how rich we are, no matter what possession we have, we can't bring it on our afterlife. For me, it's better to become poor but having lots of friends and enjoyed beautiful things in life, rather than being a rich but with lonely life and few friends.
The Future of JOY Token
SmartBCH became trend to those holders of BCH since it was one of succesful project that was made as support to growing popularity of Bitcoin Cash. You can visit marketcap.cash to see different tokens that was circulating in SmartBCH Network. There's a BCH itself, CATS, MIST, MOON 4x, and lots of other token but be careful to buy those tokens with low liquidity cause it had high probability to rug pull, stick with those tokens having high liquidity despite of low value. One of those tokens you can trust is JOY, I have no enough background about this token but they say that it was once circulating in SLP then was transfered to SmartBCH.
A few months ago the value of JOY is only 0.04 cents or 2 pesos in Philippine Fiat. However due to pump of Market and also growing popularity of JOY, it reached its ATH at 0.22 USD which makes me jump in happiness. I am holding a thousand JOY before and before the pump I have only $100 worth of JOY on my metamask but after the pump, the value increased along with the amount of my wallet. As of now I can say that the value is still at stable despite of crashing market this past few days, though it's not greatly affected but still it's value depleted. If you will look at Marketcap.cash right now you can see the standing of JOY.
Currently it is ranked 7 when it comes to liquidity, it's value is increased within 24 hours but depleted a lot in a week, it's liquidity is 542,380 USD and it had supply of 3,909,059. We can see that this token is legit and had potential to pump in the future, my advise is don't hesitate to buy those tokens who are recommended and trusted by other users. Buy those tokens with high liquidity specially those with low value since it had more chance to increase its value.
Actually it's easy to buy those tokens like JOY, first you need to bridge your BCH to SmartBCH via Mistswap, hop.cash, Coinflex and other bridging platforms. After you successfully bridge your BCH to SmartBCH then go to Mistswap or any swapping platforms to convert your BCH to any tokens, it's the most easiest way to own those tokens. For an instance, I want to buy JOY, then I'll swap my BCH to JOY then confirm the transaction and pay those cheap fees and tada you already have JOY token.
Ways to Harvest JOY token
If you want to harvest JOY token there are ways you can choose, first is via staking, I don't know if it's the right term to stake your JOY-BCH to receive JOY, I didn't try it yet cause I'm still on confusion about it's process. Then the next way is playing at Joystick.club, it's one of my recommendation since the game itself support the economy of JOY. It had more than hundreds of players who enjoy playing different kind of game.
However before you enjoy the game you need to mint 2 Joybots located in site itself but it slightly expensive, unlike before that you can mint joybot in cheaper price but now you need to spend thousand to buy a single joybot and you need to 2 to get the max reward in every game, but the good news is you can own your joybot by buying it on Oasis.cash since there are cheap bots sold there ranges from $40-100, if you are planning to use it as a ticket to the game then it's a great choice but if you want to have a chance to get a rare joybots then I recommend to mint if you have capital to invest. Overall this game is full of fun, I enjoyed it a lot specially I have 2 joybot which one of them is rare.
Another way to earn JOY Token is via staking joybot NFT and Smartbabies though Smartbabies isn't yet for staking but the developers are working on it. In staking your joybot, you'll earn PTS which you need to stake your joybot then harvest it everyday or you will let it stake for a week before you harvest it. The PTS you've harvested can be swapped into JOY via Mistswap. Though the value of PTS is still low but I'll try to hold as much PTS as I can cause I believe that it's value will increase in future.
Currently I have 10 Babies for staking, I will wait for the release and I'm so excited how much PTS I can get since I have a super rare baby which is number 8 on ranking. I hope you learn something about this article, the decision is yours if you will try to explore JOY and Joystick.club, but always remember DYOR and invest what you can afford to lose. SmartBCH brings a lot of opportunities, it depends to people how they will handle it.
Interesting to Watch Anime
This 2022 there are lots of anime that was released and all of them are interesting to watch, some of them are made by famous companies that's why there's a assurance that the story is good. They say that anime are just for kids, yes we can agree with it since some anime are focus on young audience but there are other anime which aims to have adult audience since it contains scenes that only adults can understand. Anime serves as a way to kill the boredom specially this time of pandemic, it gives happiness, joy, tears, horror to the audience. I will give some interesting anime to watch since I already saw it's potential to make audience excited from it.
One Piece
One Piece is one of the oldest anime that until now still airing, it starts at 90s until now, it is already at thousand chapter and everyone is looking for Luffy's journey in pirate world. The beauty of one piece is, it's not about the result but journey and development of every characters towards their dream like the dream of Luffy to become a pirate king, a dream of sanji to gather fish in All Blue, a dream of Zoro to become the greatest swordsman. This anime is full of emotions, it had comedy, there's a fight scene, a mystery and adventures.
I'm not a viewer of this anime however I was waiting for every reviews about this anime. Currently in Manga, it is already at chapter 1049 which finally Kaido was taken down by Luffy. Maybe I'll share some spoil that Luffy already achieved its gear five and all the mystery behind his devil fruit was revealed. The creator of One piece Oda revealed that Luffy's devil fruit is a Zoan type which named Hito Hito Nomi Model Nika which is one of the Zoan Devil fruit.
He achieved the gear five and he became an OP. I can see that One Piece had more journey to explore since there are mystery still unsolve like about Xebec and it's pirate crew and what truly happened during void century, there are also mystery about Monkey D. Dragon which is father of Luffy and about Im Sama which is currently the king of the World. This anime is worth to watch but very long way until reach the recent chapter.

Gala with Cousin
2 days ago when my cousin messaged me that she want to hangout, I was planning that time to grind on Joystick.club but she told me that she want to roam since she's rarely visiting here at Taguig. She was residing in Rizal and she only visit her aunt in Dreamland. I have no choice but to accompany her, its already afternoon that's why I decide to cook early for my siblings. After that I prepare myself, before that I transfered money to Kuya Eunoia since I have no verified account on coins.ph after I received the money I went to my friend to cashout. When I came there he already transfered the money to his neighbor which cashouts money but there's no one inside the house, later on he realize that the family leaves that's why it ends up not to get the money.
Hopefully Kuya Eunoia saves me since I asked him that I will borrow money from him then I'll pay it later once i got home. Luckily he was so kind to lend me and transfer it to my friend's account, after that we went down to cashout the money. After that I hop on the tricycle which ways to Pinagsama, my cousin is waiting at McDo. When I saw her, I asked her where we will hangout then she said anywhere, I am thinking to visit Vista Mall but I realize it's not worth it that's why she decide to visit Sm Aura, Market and BGC since those places are near to each other. We hop on the jeep then go to Market first, it's nice to see a lot of people around, my cousin is talkative that's why we have endless talks.
We go up to the second floor which arcade games are there, we bought tokens and start playing basketball. After that we literally roam all the corners of Market and look for interesting items, later on I realize that I am looking for a phone brand infinix since I want to buy a gaming phone, we went to third floor to look for a store selling infinix phone brands then a guy approached me, I asked him if they have available brand of Infinix then he showed me a hot 11s and Note 10 which is both good for gaming. After we look for phones we decide to move in Sm Aura. There's a huge difference between the two, before Aura are exclusive for riches but now it's open for public. We went to top floor and we are amazed on the view.
SM Aura I'd deigned like an Arc and if you look at it far away then you'll see it as a ship. The air at top floor is so refreshing there are also spots which you can have pictures specially those colorful things around, there also fountains dancing on the light but you can truly appreciate it at night. We decide to have picture taking and I think she enjoyed it a lot. We are planning to visit another floor but the guard said that it only opens for weekends that's why we rest for a while then we feel hungry. We are thinking to eat in a restaurant but later on we laugh at each other since we don't have money to avail those fancy food in SM Aura.
We return to Market Market which there are lots of fast foods aligned, we are deciding if we will go to Jollibee or Mcdo, she wants to eat fries that's why we choose McDo. We ordered and wait for the food, I ordered with rice while she prefer burger and fries only since she said she's still not that hungry. After we finished eating, it's already dark and it's the best time to roam on BGC, she enjoyed it a lot specially taking pictures on beautiful buildings, I think she had more photos of buildings rather than her own selfies. BGC was filled with beautiful lights and also beautiful ladies, I didn't appreciate that much cause I'm not a Simp. Suddenly a rain drops pour but gladly it stops immediately or else we will get soaked in the rain.
At 8 PM we decide to go home and commute, the real battle will begin since we need to race with other commuters on the jeep. We keep waiting for 30 minutes but we can't ride on that's why we decide to walk back to BGC which there are jeeps passing by which on the way to Housing. We bought first drinks in store cause we feel too much exhaustion and 9ur throat is already dry. We wait for passing jeep then we hop on. The night is so enjoyable since there are lots of adventures we experience. Maybe next time I will took the kids on SM Aura so that they can appreciate its beauty.
A Betrayal Story of Asiong Salonga
Are you familiar with the place Tondo? It is located at Manila and considered as the place of crimes, during 1920s the numbers of crimes in Tondo had rises drastically due to improvement of Manila. Tondo became the center of attraction before due to different spots you can visit and also there are lots of merchandises you can buy in cheap price. Tondo was filled with progress along with numbers of petty crimes such as shoplifting, snatching, hold up and many more. During 1940s gangs and groups are formed to provide protection to their members and the place where they lived.
The year 1940s was the year where a young Asiong Salonga awakes from reality of life, they are not rich but they have little store which he's the one attending to it. At the very young age, Asiong is already a independent boy, he gained lots of friends since he attend the store and he needs help of other boys, in return Asiong gives them free food for their service. Later on those kids became his comrades and friends, at the very young age, Asiong was influenced to do petty crimes like snatching and shoplifting. During his teenage years he created a gang which he is the leader and operates crimes like holdup, akyat bahay, robbery, snatching and other forms of crimes.
Asiong had a younger brother which is reciprocal of him, his younger brother is determined to study to become police, his brother became police and they had conflicts about it. Asiong is a criminal while his brother is a police and his brother said that once he got an evidence that Asiong is involved to those crimes, then he will immediately catch nor kill him even if he is his own brother. Even though Asiong is involved on crimes and killing, he still had heart to help the poor in fact people came to Asiong once they need financial help, Asiong gives money to people in wedding, baptism, hospital bills and many more.
In return, people protected him against the law that's why everytime police had hint where he was residing, people will said that they don't know. Asiong also controlled almost of the Tondo, every store in vicinity had its photo to show that he owned the area and no one can overtake on it. Due to kind of business which Asiong enter, he had lots of Rival which want to harm him. There are lots of killing attempts on Asiong but it all failed. He also got imprisoned once but he managed to escape when he decide to wound himself so that he will deliver to hospital which is the best time for him to escape.
He managed to escape and hide for a meantime then when he came back to Tondo he learned that his rival occupied most of Tondo, his area that he protected was occupied by his opponent. He do everything to go back in power and he managed to govern his comrades again. One time his rival said to him that he's already tired of endless fights that's why he asked Asiong to talk about it and fixed everything. Asiong agreed on it and they have a drink, inside the house it's only Asiong with his right hand man Erning and his rival Totoy Bato with his right hand man.
They are happy drinking alcohol when suddenly Totoy Bato rise and pretend to take a pee, Asiong didn't knew that it's a sign where he will betray by his own friend Erning. Erning stood up and point the gun on Asiong's head, he shot 3 times that made Asiong lifeless in an instant, the sad part is the gun used to kill Asiong is the gift that was given to Erning. He chooses to kill Asiong for exchange of money, the story of Asiong Salonga shows that not all true friends are true, once they received huge money in exchange of betrayal they won't hesitate to kill even if it's long time friend.
The story is an evidence that no matter how you knew your friends are, it's better not to give them your full trust cause once they seen you at your weakness then they won't hesitate to betray you. That's the reason why I prefer to have few friends and I didn't give my full trust to them, I didn't share any sensitive information to them cause once there's a conflict happened, it might get used against me, it's better to get along with people around us but we should be vigilant who will we trust.
Toxic Behavior Among Filipinos
Election 2022 had been held and the canvassing still continues since there are other prescient who didn't yet transfer the records to COMELEC however the leader had been chosen with almost 15 million gap, it's a sure win no matter if those remaining 2 percent of the votes will given to Leni Robredo which also a candidate for presidency. It's a rough battle for everyone, they've done lots of rallies, spending millions or billion of money for their campaigns. In every campaign they held I think it cost millions, they are doing everything just to get the heart of supporters and voters.
Lots of promises had been spoken but the time had come on May 9 and people use their power to vote, despite of ages had been passed the democracy is still there, people are well organized right now here on cities however there are few cases of crimes, killing, violations in provinces, minimal attacks from terrorist but the Army said that overall the election in Mindanao is peaceful specially in Marawi which is known for having conflicts during election. There are some issues happened while the election is on going, there are issues on VCM or Vote Counting Machine and its on SD card, the problem is those parts can be replaced on provinces like Laguna since it's the place where those parts are made.
They say there are lots of red flags on this election, people who experienced a malfunctioned VCM will sign a waiver saying that they allow to put their votes in a box which later on once the new VCM will arrive, then their votes will be inserted and counted. However there are people who insist that they will wait until new VCM will arrive, they want to see that their votes had been counted. The election ends at 7 PM but some people are asking for extension since there are still voters which hoping to get inside the prescient. The counting had started and I can feel the nervous among the candidates, it's time to count how many voters vote their candidate.
In 72% of all counted votes the result clearly shows that Bongbong Marcos dominates the lead with millions gap among other candidates, in vice presidency Sara Duterte also dominates the lead which is so impossible to reach. In the end even though the counting is still on going, the leader had been decided, the new 17th president of Republic of the Philippines is Bongbong Marcos with his running mate Sara Duterte. The future of Filipinos is on their hands. The main problem here is the toxicity of Filipino specially the youth, they said they are wise enough not to repeat the history again but they've done their part already, the mass had decide who to vote and everyone should accept that.
It's already in actions of Filipinos that everytime their candidate is defeated then they will find a way to protest or file a disqualification to winning candidate. Specially now that Bongbong wins and supporters of Leni and those who against Marcos are protesting that there's a anomaly since there are lots of defected VCM, they are protesting against COMELEC since there are lots of defects happened on election. Yes they have rights to protest and knew what is right but we all know how prideful Filipinos are, they don't want to accept any opinions other than themselves.
Let me give a message to those people who keep protesting specially for those Leni supporters. It's your own action that put Leni in verge of loosing, did you remember all those black propaganda you've used against Marcos? Have you remember all those rants, trolling, fake news and bad talks you've posted on social media? Have you remember those allied of Pinklawan who keep speeching in front of rally bad mouthing to Bongbong Marcos? Did you remember those artists who support Leni Robredo delivering such propaganda against Marcos? Did you remember the violent protest that supporters done to chapels of INC?. Then those questions will answer why Leni didn't win.
Leni supporters ruined the integrity of their candidate, Filipinos are pissed to those propaganda that's the reason why Bongbong wins the presidency, they've tasted their own medicine, it proves that you can't win at everything if you ruin image of other people then the karma will back to you in tenfold, I don't say that Leni deserve to lose but her supporters is the one who made her down.
A Tuesday Bonding
It's normal for us that every Tuesday there will be a bonding time for the squad. This morning i am doubt if the hang out will continue cause there's no people inside the house other than me, I am worried cause the house might run if there's no people guarding on it. Hopefully my brother came home then I immediately prepare everything then come to my friends house, when I reached their building, they are already prepared wearing such formal wears, I expect that we will only hangout normally but there's other participants who joined and it's their sister with her baby. All in all we are 10 since the kids also joined. We are so crowded inside the jeepney and we almost occupied the whole seat.
When we reached the entrance of Market market the kids are so excited to see other places rather than their homes, due to pandemic which kids aren't allowed before to go out but now seems like everything is fine, hope so. The kids are so hyper, they sing jingle of BBM and Sara and even sings the campaign song of Mark Villar. We are laughing so hard and also worried cause there might people get triggered to the jingle. When we finally entered inside the mall, the kids immediately want to play at timezone that's why we climbed at second floor and look for fun games but then they decide to go down at ground floor cause there's a lot of arcade games to be played there.
I think we bought almost 300 worth of tokens which the children inserted on machine to play. I also enjoyed playing basketball though the space isn't enough for me to shoot high. After we play at timezone and drain money, we decide to roam around and look for things to buy in future. After a couple minutes of roaming around, everyone felt hungry including me, we plan where we gonna eat and everyone decides to eat at McDonald's again. The two sisters decide to treat their kids and siblings while me I treat the boyfriend of one of their siblings, of course we choose the best. I ordered two of 1 pc of chicken with burger, fries and added a McFloat.
We waited for a couple of minutes for our order then I'm glad it's more faster than before, I notice that our coke and McFloat is missing that's why i went back to counter and ask the attendee she pointed my remaining order and then I ask forgiveness for my idiotness. I go back to my seat then we start digging our food.
As you can see on photo we are really crowded, there are lots of kids, it makes me decide not to establish a family cause it's gonna be a lot of responsibility maybe I prefer to become a mushroom. After we eat, everyone was full and decide to visit BGC. From Market market you can reach BGC in just few meters. It's already night time and it's a best time to visit BGC due to different attractions and lights around. There are varieties of people around, there are foreigners, there are locals, there are aliens, there are mushrooms who just pops out of nowhere.
Luckily there are lots of ladies around who made me alive, they are cute and beautiful while holding a coffee from Starbucks. We stayed in a field then they start to enjoy running around, sadly the fountain isn't opened that's why we can't play with the water. We stayed there for 30 minutes until everyone decides to go home since the line in order for us to ride on a jeep is so long, we gonna use the secret technique which we will compete with other passengers to ride on, the problem is we are 10 including the kids and the jeepneys which passing by are full and rare to find a empty slot of 5 to 10 person, there are also other passengers waiting and they will run just to ride on jeep.
We can't hop on since the kids is our concern, hopefully there's a jeepney which is empty, we hop on it then go home. It's a fun day for us, though the money is drained yet it's enjoyable since we do it every Tuesday since it's the free time of everyone. I don't know next week if we will hang out again, maybe it's time to save money again so that we can buy stuffs and enjoyed more our hang outs.
Who Will Be The Next President of Republic of the Philippines?
The time has come which all Filipinos are now in power to change the fate of this country for 6 years. The time which Filipinos are united to vote for the candidate to the highest position in country which is President. Since the freedom of Philippines from Spanish colonization and Emilio Aguinaldo became the first president. The people gain freedom to choose the leader they like. From that moment, Filipinos have power every 6 years to choose for right leader. We can't avoid those kind of cheats and anomaly during the election since every country contains corrupt officials who takes advantage of their position to haul people's money and involved in corruption.
Even during 1990s, the number of corrupt officials blooms since the highest leader is weak enough to punish those who involved and guilty. They have such strong will to engage on corruption since death penalty is removed as form of punishment and replaced by reclusion Perpetua or lifetime imprisonment. Corrupt officials are not afraid to do crimes and corrupt money since once they caught, they can easily manipulate the law due to connection and once imprisoned they won't feel any conscience since they can live as kin inside the prison due to their money and influence. Since 1990s Filipinos suffered a lot from corrupt leaders, there's no progress, no movement in economy, poverty became more rampant, unemployment rate increased, etc.
Due to those reason Philippines became more poorer as time goes by. However during 2016 election when Duterte became the president, Philippines had change a lot, though there are issues on war on drugs, violation of human rights and many more we can't forget the fact that Digong was the best president we have. In his latest press conference, he announce to Filipinos his retirement on politics, I was cried as I watched a tribute to him, he's a good president for me that no one can equal. Now the time has come, it's 2022 election now and Filipinos have power to vote. Every presidential candidates done their best to get people's heart.
Those well known running candidates are Bongbong Marcos with her vice Sara Duterte, Leni Robredo with his vice Kiko Pangilinan, Isko Moreno with his vice Doctor Willie Ong, Manny Pacquiao, Ping Lacson with his vice Tito Sotto. They are well known by Filipinos but the two candidates which always have issue and had chance to become the president are Bongbong and Leni. They have different campaign rallies everywhere with their supporters, thousands of supporters join their rallies and wait for some surprise guest. There are lots of wars personal and on social media, there are fake news and trolls to ruin a candidates image and many more but now it puts in the end.
Everything comes to the end, the last day of campaign happened yesterday in their MDA, they've released full effort to convince their many people to support them, I was astonished by Marcos campaign, base on their drone view, it's estimated that nearly a million attend the MDA and in the end there's a drone view and a fireworks display, i didn't see yet the MDA of Leni but I'm sure they have also lots of performance for their supporters. In the end, the time has come, the long wait is over, all the sacrifices, all the wars happened on social media will put to the end, they say that if one win and one loose there would be a tension will happen.
I hope that Filipinos will learn to accept and respect the new leader, I hope it won't diversified our country and cause more anomaly. All I want to say is don't choose a leader because someone recommended him to you, don't choose a leader because the whole family will vote for it. Always follow your heart, don't let other people dictates you who will you vote, you've given a power now to change the country, the future generation is now on your hands. Don't accept any money to buy your vote, even for now choose the best for the country, Vote Wisely.
Smart Babies NFT: Got a Super Rare Baby Monkey
Yesterday was the day of minting smart babies, it was announced on Joystick.club Telegram group about the upcoming airdrop and how much we need to spend, I was surprised that minting smart babies needs the token JOY and anyone can mint only for 10 to 15 JOY which is cheaper than usual minting of other SmartBCH NFTs. The minting start Yesterday at 1:30 PM before that I'm grinding on joybot cross to earn JOY Token, both my phone and laptop is open, I am monitoring the time which the minting start. At 1:30 the minting opened, then I start the process, at step 1 I need to approve the token spend, anyway there's a limit of numbers of NFTs to be mint, it's 25 Smartbabies per person so that there's an assurance that there will be enough NFTs for everyone.
At the start of approving the signature, I'm having a hard time clicking the approve, in fact I clicked it 3 times ans paid it for 3 times but it's still not proceeding to step 2 that's why I refreshed my laptop then enter on minting again, hopefully I saw that I was already on step 2 at that time there's already 300 minted smartbabies in just 8 minutes that's why I hurriedly approve the transaction then I visit my metamask if my JOY reduced and it was. I wait until my minted smartbabies move to my Oasis.cash. I keep reloading it until there's a 6 smartbabies on my wallet. I also keep updated on Telegram about smartbabies I found out that there are users who got super rare smart babies.
When I look at my babies, I didn't see any special to them maybe they are beyond common, I also notice my baby monkey but I didn't think it was special. Not until I saw on our TG about the percentage of appearance found in babies. I look at them then found out that my normal babies had common to others but when I saw my baby monkey I was surprised.
I saw that I'm the only user having a brown monkey, I asked on our TG if my baby monkey is a rare then the admin said it's super rare. They said my baby monkey is number 8 in ranking, I'm so lucky that I've got this one, though I feel like I'm late but I'm so lucky that I got such rare baby. They said that I can put it into auction with a value of 10 BCH. Yesterday I tried to sell on Oasis since I don't know how it works but later on it was easy. I put my baby monkey into auction within 7 days, if there's no one bid on it then I'll keep that baby monkey and take care of it. I also checked it's rarity on Joystick.club then I found out that it had 10k rarity points.
I thought that it's the only baby monkey but it had other colors that someone got in minting, the current monkey minted that present on collection is the brown and blue monkey, I didn't check this morning if there's other monkey found. As of now no one still found the number one on Ranking, I have a hunch that the number one can be found at the 8000 to 10000. I am so happy that I have this monkey cause i only minted 6, I have no enough fund to buy a lot and I didn't expect to get a rare but I happened. I told my friends that there's a minting of smartbabies, they tried their luck and they got common babies. I am not sure what it's used but base on our TG admins there's a project will release which smartbabies can be use as a ticket, they also announced that those babies can be stake like what happen to joybots. In joybots I have 1 rare and 3 commons, they are quite expensive than smart babies but when it comes to cuteness then smartbabies are my favorite. I really love my babies. In fact I bought another 4 babies hoping to get a rare one but I'm still happy that I have 4 babies added.
I have 10 babies in total and I didn't expect that I will become a father of 10, maybe it's time to look for a nanny that will took care my babies, just kidding. To all the JOY holders there or those users who's interested on smart babies, you can use Mistswap to swap BCH to JOY then go to Joystick.club then click prizes and smartbabies then start minting, just follow the steps and you can have a baby you owned. As of now the number of mint smartbabies will reach 5k just in 1 day and maybe a days later there will be no enough babies for anyone that's why as early as now you can grab your own, there's also a possibility that it will hyped. Don't hesitate cause it's a project of smartBCH and the maker of smartbabies are the same on the one who make joybots.
Oligarchy
According to Wikipedia, ***Oligarchy is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.*** Base on the definition itself, oligarchy means a group or an institution having a control in a country, control in terms of power and water distribution, control in media, control in economy and control of businesses operates in one ccountry.Oligarchy is rampant everywhere in this world, even first world countries are occupied by oligarchs, they are rich people that thinks about money and the government can't questioned nor get their assets because they are private institutions, the only thing that government can do is to collect huge taxes from them, however oligarchs are too smart.
Are you familiar with CSR? or corporate social responsibility, it is an act in which a one private company must help their employee, the environment and the community by different acts like charity donations, free services to community and many more, in that reason their taxes are reduced due to CSR. Another thing is oligarchs are untouchable due to their influence and power but there's no one above the law, once those oligarchs are proven to be involved in anomaly, then the government had the right to revoke their franchise and they can't operate unless allowed by the government. There are cases that oligarchs are too powerful and the officials in government can be bribed, they will just pay millions or billions of money just to escape from hearings about approval of their franchise.
Corrupt officials are doing this always specially if they have debt of gratitude to that institution that helped them during their campaigns. Due to oligarchy the term of rich became richer and poor became poorer still exist nowadays, as long as there are oligarchs which have control on state, the poverty and suffering will never end. Let's give a good example of oligarchy in my country. Philippines was one a developing country before, the government owns assets and had control on supply of water, electricity, media, etc. It was still at governance of Marcos however when he was expelled and move to Hawaii, the Aquinos and Cojuanco manipulates this country.
Cory was controlled by her siblings and relatives to sell government assets to them like Meralco, Manila Waters, Maynilad, Philippine, Airline and many more, in that reason oligarchy in Philippines became more rampant, that leads to suffering of Filipinos. The electricity we are using that once free by our government is need to pay, the water that we are using that serves as free is need to pay to private institutions. This proved that the downfall of one country will happen once the leader is being controlled and doesn't know how to become a president. Here are other example of institutions in Philippines that was controlled by oligarchs.
Philippine Airline
Like I said earlier, PAL was owned by Philippine government before but when Cory Aquino became the president, she sold the shares of PAL to her relatives. Later on Lucio Tan became the CEO of PAL due to his huge percentage of shares, he is also an oligarch which can't be touched even by the government. On Aquinos administration, Lucio Tan able to support campaigns and give money to winning president so that they connection not to investigate the anomaly in their company. Everything turned down when PRRD became the president which he gives hot words to Lucio Tan about anomaly in operation of PAL and also the 7 billion tax that isn't paid by PAL holdings for decades. PRRD gave them an ultimatum of 1 week to pay their tax or else the NAIA terminal 2 will be close by the government. The PAL Holdings and Lucio Tan can't do anything but to pay their billion tax debt to government.
Maynilad
Maynilad was once owned by the Philippine government before not until it was also sold to a private company, that's why Filipinos don't have free service of water instead they need to pay for the bill monthly. When Duterte became the president, he also confronted the company who's holding Maynilad about the anomaly and taxes that Maynilad owed to government. Duterte showed that the current administration isn't afraid to oligarchs, they are willing to crash those rich businessman so that they will knew who's the boss.
ABS-CBN
Last on the list is the largest media institution in Philippines which is ABS-CBN, it was once shutdown by Marcos administration due to false information that was delivered to public. Their operation returned when Cory became the president, that's the start of anomaly inside ABS-CBN. Many people said that ABS-CBN are biased when it comes to giving information. Those people against dilawan are being crushed by anchors and reporters, everytime there's a news about opposition, ABS-CBN will broadcast it. The media institution was owned by Lopez family, other big companies held by Lopez family is Meralco which is also owned by government before. Unluckily for ABS-CBN, their franchise is going to expire on term of PRRD and Duterte is also a victim of being bias of ABS-CBN.
When he was running as president of Philippines, he paid 2 million pesos to advertise his campaign to television but ABS-CBN doesn't showed it on national television instead they broadcast the black propaganda paid by Trillanes about Duterte that shows bad things about Duterte. Despite of all propaganda and actions of Dilawan, Duterte wins as president and ABS-CBN taste their own medicine. When it's time to renew their franchise, Duterte gave them hot words, as a president he had the power to veto any laws that he disagree and the renewal of franchise of ABS-CBN is one of them, however at the hearing of Senate the renewal of franchise already been rejected by congress.
It's the downfall of ABS-CBN due to their bias reports. This proves that no matter how high you are, if you made bad actions then it had huge consequences. Oligarchy will never destroyed as long as it was tolerated, those companies owned by oligarchs contribute a lot to life of people and economy but sometimes its the reason why the country is slowly drowned to mudpool.
Urban Legends of Philippines
Philippines is rich in culture, traditions, beliefs, and superstitions. Before the colonization of Spaniards, Filipinos had already different folk stories regarding different supernatural elements that residing along us on this world. Those stories had been adapted until now specifically on provinces, it was used to scare children so that they won't get out in the night or else the aswang will get them and eat their organs. Before I was a victim of this, I am living on province which we believed on elements that naked eye can't see. My family was a famous folk healer and my mother is one of them.
Every night my uncle will tell stories about their experiences and encounter on supernatural beings, he said that those elements truly exist and we need to respect them and don't bother them or else the consequences would be huge. We are living in Iloilo before and our place is well known for nest of aswang, there are also cases in Negros, Capiz, Antique and other part of East Visayas. Those rumors that there are livestock found dead while their organs are missing, some residences conclude that there's a Aswang which victimized the livestock.
The whole visayas was trembled about it and keep their livestock safe. There are people who can't believe until they see but there's nothing wrong in considering it as true. Here on Philippines there are lots of urban stories about Aswang, Engkanto, Kapre, Nuno, Witch, etc. but for today I'll tell you famous urban legends that until now it's still alive and makes people scared once they heard the story.
