Dear Self, Sorry for Breaking you for Others
How far can you go when you love someone? Can you sacrifice everything from you? Can you endure all the hardships to stay with him? Can you?
When we fall in love we think the different positive emotions and can boost our entire system especially if the feeling is mutual. The day you ask his/her name, the day you ask his/her number and then eventually add that person in your social media is the start of everything. And when you get what you want let say you're already in a relationship at first you will feel all the positive vibes around you. Non stop dates, text messages and calls from your special someone. But let us accept the fact that life is not always balloons and rainbows life is combined with rain and rainbow.
If a rain will come in your relationship try to use an umbrella try to fixed the problems that you encountered because if someone will quit or stop, the relationship will end eventually and all your sacrifices will be nothing.
Personally I experienced two breakups but now I already moved on, when we love someone we are prepared to be hurt and be broken. I don't regret my decisions why I entered that relationship. Though it ended all I can say is that it teach me a lesson and gave me a wonderful memories.
After break up all you need to do is to console yourself. Ask yourself to forgive you for breaking your heart. Don't make yourself miserable instead stand and make yourself better. After break up don't be afraid to fall in love again.
If you fall in love again, make sure that you will apply the things that you learned in your past relationships.
If you entered a new relationship, tell them how much you love him/her through your actions.
Don't ever try to show to the person that he/she is not enough.
Apologize when you do something and be honest always.
When they open up to you, you need to listen its a sign of your respect.
If you really love that person, support him/her, trust and laugh with them.
Make time for them and don't show to them that they are an obligations.
For love we do anything even if we are hurt at the end. That's the power of love but many people do not understand the word love, if they entered a relationship because you say that you like her/him that's not a good attitude, before you entered a relationship make sure that you love that person. Like is different from love. When you like a flower you just pluck it and put it in vase. But if you love the flower you will watered it daily. That's what love is.
When you entered a relationship and you realized that its just an infatuation or not love you need to be honest. Don’t use them for your own benefits. Don’t try to make them be who you need and change them from a different person. Don’t hurt them by trying to fool them that you love them. Be honest. And one day if you realized that its not love you need to do one thing, just one, "Let Them Go"
Don't be afraid to fall in love, but don't forget to say sorry and make amends for yourself.

It Takes One to Six Rules to Write a Good Content
It only takes two things two write a good article, what's your content and what are the techniques you used to make your article unique?
In a growing number of content creators everyone of us has the capacity to write something and post it in social media and called it as an article. But there is always a division that separates on every content creators what is good article and what is bad article?
So how can we make our articles appealing and catchy? How can you ensure that the reader will continue to read your article? One of the first thing that you need to consider is that, you need to ensure that your article is relatable and do not use highfalutin words. Make your article simple, precise and direct to the point.
When I write an article I always follow my six rules in writing. To write a piece you need to set certain rules that will serve as a guide for you to write a good piece.
**Focus on the introductory statement**
How can you make sure that the reader will read your article? What's your ticket? Of course its the introductory part, when making an introductory statement do not make it long, just choose a punchy statement that will convince or persuade the reader to continue reading your article? Let's be honest if you see a paragraph which is too long one of the tendency is that you will be discouraged to read it because its too long, but when you provide a short, precise and interesting introductory statement the reader will be motivated to read your article.
**Shorten Everything**
I know most of us when we write something, we want to write all the things that runs in our mind, but its not a good idea. We need to consider the side of the readers if you want to convinced your reader to read your article, you need to shorten everything just be direct. Don't beat around the bush. If you're explaining something don't use any unnecessary statement or confusing statements.
**Simplicity of explanation and choice of words**
Every readers are unique we have different profession and every profession has its own jargon. And if you want your reader to relate and understand the things that you are explaining make your article simple and easy to understand. Chose the words where everyone can understand and follow.
**The substance of your article**
When writing an article of course you need to put all the highlight in the content of your article. To the main topic that you are explaining. Don't add unnecessary content which is not related on the topic that you are explaining.
**Be a story teller**
If you want to make your article appealing, be a story teller. When you are writing an article make sure that you write it in a way that you are telling a story. Don't just provide a description, the best way to capture the attention of the readers is when you provide an example or experience.
**Title and content**
The article that we write is base on the title and content on it. If you make a click to bait title and the content is not related on it or you just fool the reader, in this case all you want is just views its not sincere. A good article is that when your title and content makes a good connection. Don't fool your readers instead make a way on how your readers fall in love with your article.
For me in only takes one to six rule to write a good piece. How about your rules? Do you have one?

Im a Liar Boy? The Art of Telling Lies
As a teacher I sometimes lied especially if that actions will help to improve once self-esteem. As a teacher we are used to teach the good characteristics and attributes that a student should have. But there are cases that teachers lied. You will say that no, still its not good because its a lie and you lied. Yes I do agree on that part because in our ten commandments lying is prohibited “Thou shalt not bear false witness."
But have you ever experience to lie for someone you love the most. Have you ever tried to lie just to protect them? Or you lied because of some selfish intentions just to ruin the reputation of someone. No matter what reason we have still its a lie whether you help a person or hurt a person.
I'll give you different scenarios and lets see how you will react on it.
You ask your girlfriend on a date and then she ask you about how she looks like, about her dress and make up. Then you answered she looks good, you do that because you want to boost her confidence and for me its ok to do that whether you lied. But if you answered "yes you looks good" just because you think that you are already late that's a different scenario.
Another, I attended several event and most of them they invited me to be a critic especially in local competitions in our school. After a student perform a specific piece the judges needs to say something about his/her performance, if you see a student who perform terribly or lets say its so ugly or worst performance. As a critic do you want to say that? Of course for me I will lied I don't want to hurt her/him in a bad way and discourage the student. Some critic are terribly brutal and some use this excuse "***well Im being honest with my opinion so be it***" yeah when you are a critic its important to be honest but you need to consider the feelings of a person instead of saying direct words why not try to use some euphemism, right?
Instead of telling "your performance is the worst" why not consider saying this, "we saw how you struggle from the very beginning and I know everyone has its own difficulties to deal with, I hope that you will still try to perform next time"
In a classroom, when a student answered a wrong answer, a teacher shouldn't directly say the word wrong, because its a big discouragement, for me instead of saying "you're wrong" I immediately say "ok sit down, who wants to help? Anyone from the class?
How about this? You are walking in the street and then suddenly you saw a girl running on a corner and then immediately hide on a garbage bin after that you saw a group of gangsters then they ask you if you saw a girl? Will you say yes or no?
It this world lying is bad if you use this for your self-interest and selfishness. If you lied because you want to get something even if someone was hurt, that's not ideal and its bad. If you lied just to protect someone, to help someone, to encourage someone that's acceptable.
Let's face the reality, we are living in the world of uncertainty and her you need to learn the art of telling lies in a good way, to build connections to other people and to maintain harmony. I know you have the capacity to weigh the situation whether it is good or bad.
A person say this quote to me "***Telling the truth making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile."***
If you have a friend and you know that her boyfriend repeatedly hurt her but your friend is hard headed then its better to tell the truth even if she will be hurt. But how about if you have a student if you want to encourage him/her you don't need to use direct words that will discouraged him/her. So for me you really need to weigh the different scenarios before you do a certain actions.

You lost the Moon while Counting the Stars
What's the biggest regrets of your life? And if you will be given a chance to go back in time do you want to change something about your life, what is it and why do you want to change it?
I know all of us wants to live without regrets. Live our life to the fullest and experience all the things that we want. And for those things that we want to experience sometimes is the one that hinders our true purpose and our goals in life. While we are busy with our personal pleasure and desire time flies so fast and before you know it you are too late to catch up on the time you wasted.
How can we limit those regrets in life, its given that we are not perfect and we will sometimes make unnecessary actions. But we can do something to limit our regrets in life. And the best way to limit those regrets in life is by knowing and understanding your priorities, what's in the top of your bucket list? What's the second, the third and soon and so forth. Lets discuss those things that will set you free.
***Raise the rent and kick them out.***
Its about toxic people, though they are unnecessary people you need to set yourself free from them. If you hold grudges from them let it go. Don't think that if you make amends to this kind of people it means that you're the loser. Its not the case, by making amends you are giving an opportunity to yourself to live in peace and free from worries.
***Do it now, because your sometimes/later can become never.***
If you have something to accomplished do it now. If you are still in the road of your journey don't think to stop and take the things lightly. You have to clear your minds and avoid those blockage that hinders you to continue. Because if fate knows that your goal is worth it fate will test you and will give several challenges that will test your patience if you are deserving on that kind of achievements. What are those blockage in life? Temptations, there are lots of temptations that will block your way and its you who hold the power whether you will go in the right way or the opposite.
***Your purpose is to follow your passion.***
Afraid to be judged? Be criticized and be blamed? If you are always doubtful and worries about what others may feel, say and think about you Im telling you right now your in a big trouble. If you always follow the things that others say without following the things that you love your passion. You cannot get the true happiness in life. You will live like a puppet and for that you are not living with yourself but for the sake of other people. Don't be afraid to take a risk follow your dreams your passion and don't ever try to invalidate yourself because people don't like the things that you do. Its your life so live with it the way you want it to be.
***So many words to say and no way to say them.***
Its one of the biggest regrets of some people the words left unsaid. If you have an opportunity right now to say the things that you want do it right now because if you're afraid that people will laugh at you or people will reject you, you will not know the answer unless you try. If you're afraid to take a risk at the end of your life it will become your what if, what if I try? What if?
***You lost the moon while counting the stars.***
You have family? Friends? Special someone? And they love you very much, that's the best blessings you received. If your family loves you so much don't take it for granted love them the way they love you. Your friends, a family that we never had. Special someone who loves you so much. If this people exist in your life set them as your priority because if you ignore them and prioritized other things time will come and you will realized that you already lost them. They are the moon and the temptations in your life are the stars. Why do you want to enjoy the light of the stars if you have the moon.
Do it now, say it now, show it now, open it now and give it a try while you have the chance and opportunity, because if you lost the last tick tock of your time you will never go back in time again.

My Dozens: 12 Things About Me
Its Saturday and Im still sleepy. A lot has happened in the last 24 years of my life. When I graduated high school I decided to study here in the city away from my parents. Its not that I don't want my parents know my whereabouts but the main reason why I decided to study here in the city is to learn the things independently. I ask them that I want to rent an apartment, they agreed. But before they agreed they ask me to stay in my aunties house in the first year of my college and for the second year they allowed me to rent an apartment.
While staying here in the city and continue to study I learned several things and realized that college life is the most happiest part of my life. Its just my opinion, because my high school days is full of pressure and dramas while my college experience is full of experiments and you don't need to pretend on the things that you don't like. So without further ado let's talk the things about me. What are the fun facts about me.
**I hate close spaces. Im claustrophobic person.**
I don't want to stay or enter in a closed area like elevator and tunnels. I remember our trip last 2017 in Taal Church. Me and my sister decided to visit the Taal Church one of the oldest church in the Philippines which is made by Spaniards. In Taal Church you can go in the upper portion of the church to see the beautiful scenery of Taal. But before that you need to enter in a closed pathway. Its like a tunnel and I really hate that because I thought I cannot leave the area.
**I speak three languages.**
Oops, I speak three languages, English, Tagalog and Hiligaynon. Though English is taught in school I learned Tagalog since its our national language. And for Hiligaynon its my mother tongue.
**I don't know how to ride a bike.**
Im already 24 but I don't know how to ride a bike. Its not that I don't want to learn how to ride a bike. The reason why I decided not to learn this kind of skills is because of my traumatic experience. When I was five years old I tried to ride a bike in our backyard, but unfortunately I fall in the deep part of our backyard and got several wounds.
**I love to read novels and short stories.**
I love Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and some local fantasy novels like The Keepers and The Reapers. Im an avid readers of fantasy novels. I don't care if it is long or not.
**Im a good swimmer.**
I grew up in province to be specific in an island. And since we are surrounded by waters its given that I know how to swim. When I was in college I am fantasizing of joining the swimming team but our university don't have such offers.
**I prefer to study around 1am to 3am.**
I don't know but 1am to 3am is the most product time for me. I learned things efficiently during this time. One of the reason is that during 1am to 3am the surroundings are very quiet.
**I love to collect shoes.**
All of us has its own desire to collect something. And for me I love shoes that's why me and my sister always fight because of this.
**I don't like science but I love it now.**
I do believe in the saying that, the more you hate the more you love. When I was in highschool I hate science not because it is hard but because of our terror teacher, he even gave me a line of 7 grade which is the lowest grade ever. That's why I challenge myself to take a program related to science and now Im a science teacher. I even got an 87 percent rating in National Examination.
**Im allergic on crustaceans.**
Eversince I am restricted to eat crustaceans like crabs, lobsters and shrimps because I am allergic to those kind of foods. But did you know that Im trying to eat shrimps especially when my sister cook some shrimps at home. After that I will suffered from stomachache and all I can blame is myself.
**I got stabbed by a pencil.**
It happened when I was in my elementary years. I got stabbed by my classmate, we are arguing that time and since she lost her patience she stabbed me by a pencil. But did you know that we are in a good terms right now and I ask her last time about that we just laugh and she's so sorry about that.
**Im a microscope stealer.**
Too captive, its not literal ok. When I was in college my friends are too naughty. And since we always stay in laboratories they do some tricks on me they put one microscope on my backpack and its too late to found out that I brought it in my apartment. Thay time Im wondering why my bag is too heavy. And that's the reason for that its because of the microscope but I brought it back ok. And of course I planned some revenge on them and it worked, its a tie.
**I love spiders.**
When I was I kid we love to collect spiders. Its part of our childhood and of course we only picked those non venomous spiders.
How was it? How about your hobbies mind sharing it to everyone. Our characteristics made us unique from the crowd. Don't think that if you like or if you hate something your different in a bad way. That's not true because our unique behavior is our personal identification and it describes who you are.

Unveil-Unlock the Answers, Know the Power of Asking
Asking questions is a unique and powerful tool to unlock the problems that you have, when you ask you can get a possible answers. It can encourage learning and motivate people. It can fuel our curiosity to dig more to ask more and to know more about things that we want to know. Asking questions is also a key to counter future problems and knowing the future cause of problem earlier is beneficial and a plus for all of us.
When you ask the right questions it can unlock different opportunities and possible solutions to your problem. But sometimes we are hesitant to ask questions. Why do many people hesitate to ask questions? There are possible reasons why we hold back sometimes.
If you don't ask questions maybe your not interested or you don't care. Why would I ask questions? What can I get if I know his/her story? This is sometimes the reason, we don't ask because we don't care.
We are bored about their answers, maybe you find how lame their answers are, but you never realized that your the problem in the first place. If you find it bored try to ask interesting question, if it don't work out try to paraphrase your questions, know the art of questioning.
Your to confident or arrogant. You think that you know all the answers and you think highly of yourself. Remember no one can beat the art of questioning.
Lastly, people hold back because they do not want to hurt other people. They are afraid to offend someone if they ask sensitive questions. But if you do that you will never find the true answers and you will leave the place with full question mark.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. The more you ask the more information you can learn and the more information you know the better. But to ask question you need to put some creativity on it the more creative the better. Try to ask questions which is unique, a question that nobody else is asking. If you do that you can possibly get different answers that can solve a certain problem. When asking questions don't act smartly act differently.
Act differently, I will give you an example. Who is the best in questioning the novice or the expert? Maybe some of you will answer and chose the expert as the best when it comes to questioning its given that he has already experience, right? But in asking questions the most effective people who act differently is the novice. Novice are more curious than the expert, they are eager to learn the things around them without discretion. But the expert sometimes are hindered by their own capabilities and experience.
But how can expert handle this kind of things? When they ask questions they need to think their situation when they are a novice and know nothing. Be an outsider, the more you think that your an outsider you can think different questions outside the box which is unique.
**How can we solve a certain problem through questioning?**
In an investigation we used questioning to solve a certain case. In a classroom if you want your students to think deeply you need to ask more and more questions. In an experiment we used different questions from the observation part up to the conclusion. Even campaign, when we purchase products, if we want to join a certain platform. We first use the art of questioning. And its better to ask than doing things without background knowledge. Going back to the question how can we solve a certain issue or problem through questioning. If you want to solve a problem you need to start in one smaller piece solve those piece and combined it together to solve the problem, you can say that its like a puzzle.
But aside from solving problems, asking questions is also a tool to protect ourselves or to keep us safe. When you are new in a certain place it's best to ask to someone who knows the place especially if you want to go abroad know their culture and tradition to avoid misunderstanding. In investments, in different sites that you browse or use its better to ask someone who knows that kind of things before we engage ourselves. Don't act like you know all the things act as a novice as an outsider and think differently.
Remember this before we end up, I want you to know that when we ask questions it offers us a certain point or path. It gives us direction, don't think that if you ask questions you can get the things that you want, asking questions offers an opportunity to unveil and unlock the hidden answers that you want. We have thousands of questions in our mind but if we pick the right questions to ask it can lead us to the true directions that we want.

Im Sorry...Apology Accepted...Access Denied
To make mistakes is part of our imperfections. No one is perfect, accept the fact that we make mistakes everyday and the most important things that you need to have is the ability to recognized your mistakes. As we make mistakes some of it was the reason why we hurt the people around us like for example "your lies." When you apologized some people acknowledged it immediately and some people do not. Some people takes time before they forgive you.
**Im Sorry!**
Sorry? A big word that means a lot to someone you hurt but sometimes saying sorry is not enough to fix the broken heart you shattered. You are sincere? Saying sorry means that you accept the fact that you made mistakes but you need to understand that "sorry" is just a start of the repair process to fixed your broken relationships.
When you make mistakes and you admit it, you say sorry how does it feel? Its good right if we admit our mistakes and make an apology it brings us the inner peace that we want and we eventually moved on from that situation. Have you ever heard the quotation *"forgive him/her, forget it and move on."* When we look on the other side the one who say sorry feels the inner peace and moved on, but the one who is hurt? Its easy to forgive but the remnants of your mistakes will be engraved in heart of the people that you hurt. The disappointments and scars are left. You moved on? But how about me?
Its not easy to admit our mistakes or to make amends, right? If you don't want to lower your pride or if your ego is too high well saying sorry is not an easy task. But when we look on a brighter side its good to admit our mistakes because it symbolizes the courage that we have. Its embarrassing to say sorry, you lowered your pride and ego but when you say sorry and admitting your mistakes you are forgiving yourself and you are avoiding the situation to live in guilt.
When I was in highschool though I am prone to be bullied. If often ask myself why do people pick on me? Is it fun to say hurtful words? Is it fun to make someone aggrieved? I don't know. Now I can still remember those people who make my highschool days difficult. Yeah I already forgive them but it doesn't mean that they are welcome to my life that they can associate or make engagement to me. Yeah I forgive you and forget the past but I decided that you are no longer and will never be part of my life again. Let's moved on and be civil.
In every mistakes that we do we need to learn the lesson it brings to us. We need to reflect and recalibrate ourselves to be better next time. If we have the self awareness we can build a good relationship to other people next time. Be considerate always and think every decisions you make. Think before you speak and act. Its impossible to be perfect that's the fact, we can only be trustworthy in our words and actions.
**What's the best lesson in life that we can get here?**
Accept the fact that saying sorry is not enough always. We need to think the severity of damage that we brought. We need to think the people that we hurt. And to avoid hurting someone we need to think the different decisions that we make and think the possible outcome if we take that kind of actions. Don't speak just because you are carried away by your emotions. If you are angry don't speak anymore, speak when you are calm already. If we hurt someone have the courage to make amends because it will make a great difference.
**How about the people you hurt?**
Be courageous about their decisions, if you say sorry you need to accept and respect their decision. If they forgive you and continue your relationship, accept it and treasure it and do not make the same mistakes again. But if they forgive you and they chose and decide not to associate with you anymore, you don't need to feel aggrieved, respect their decision if that's the way to maintain or preserve your memories accept that.
*"Im sorry, apology accepted, but you are not welcome anymore in my life so access denied.*

Three Things a Writer Should Avoid
As an aspiring writer I always remind myself to stay calm and focus. Though my writing skills is not enough but Im trying to improve it and I believe that as long as you have the heart to be better, one day you will not realized how good you are. As an aspiring writers we have things that we should avoid it is the reason why some writers cannot write and doubt their capabilities. You have the skills all you need to do is to improved it and you cannot do it in one day it takes a process.
If you already convince yourself to write. Here are the words or thoughts that you should avoid.
****Excuses****
A tail of our hundred reasons, if you have the will to write go on and chase it. Don't use the word "but" to hinder your will.
"I want to write but Im not fluent in english."
"I want to write but I think no one will read it"
"I want to write and published an article but their are lots of good writers here."
"I want to write but I do not have a formal degree in writing and my bio is so lame."
Let's counter all your "but" an excuse. When you are writing a piece its not important if you don't have degree, you're not fluent in english? No one will read it? Their are many good writers out their and you will be out shadow?
Well honestly speaking the most powerful tool in writing is not about degree. Its about our experience, most of the good articles is based on personal experience of a person and mostly they are one of the best sellers. Start writing based on your experience, you are good in cooking? Then you can write an article about the different recipes that you cooked. You are good in using musical instruments? You can make a journal about it. You are good in farming? You can write different tips on how to do a good farming. Theirs a lot of ways to be a writer and your experience is enough to be your motivation. You are still doubtful?
"I want to write but I don't have time Im busy with my work."
Another excuse? We have 24 hours everyday, if you really want to write you just need to find your motivation some writers write in a subway, in a coffee shop, in a canteen even in a restroom. You just need to manage your time wisely. If you have the motivation and limits on your time you can continue and those but excuses will fade away.
**Regrets**
How can you deal with your regrets? Another block that will hinder your will to write.
"Im too old now, do I have the credibility to be a writer?"
"I should have write the things that I thought last week, now its gone."
"If I attended the different webinars/seminars about writing in the past then maybe I have some courage to be a writer."
Your regrets will make you demotivated, instead of pushing you towards your goal. Your regrets will push you backwards and will be stuck on it. Don't live with your regrets and do nothing because of you will continue to live with your regrets nothing will happened. Just remember as long as you are still alive you have the power to be want you want and continue to strive.
**Worries**
The most destructive habit, you are worrying for nothing. If you doubt yourself and overthink on different possibilities you will be forever stuck on those "what if" of your life.
"What if I cannot write a good piece and no one will like it."
"What if some people will laugh about my piece."
"What if people will judge about my writing skills."
Don't be stuck on your what if, you will never know the results unless you try. Its better to try and fail, be rejected than to failed and rejected without trying on it. Let's forget those what if's and fuel our determination to inspire other people by sharing our experience through writing. Find your happiness through writing. Forget those excuses, regrets and worries in life. If you do that, "Im so proud of you, you did it."

Aftermath: Throw him....I won't, he's my brother
What's the most admirable characteristics of a person? What are the qualities of a well mannered individuals? Nowadays we need a fully disciplined individuals that will make a difference. When you heard the word discipline what country can you associate in that word?
When I always heard the word disciplined the first country that I can think is Japan. Why? I've seen and read many inspiring stories about Japanese people. Their behavior and loyalty during world war II is the most admiring scenario.
How can we say that you are disciplined? Being disciplined start with ourselves, its not about the degree that you hold, its not about the money that you have, its about tolerance, loyalty and lifelong commitment.
Can you still remember the Earthquake that happened last 2011 in Japan? I watch a lot of news about that tragic events. And all I can see is how the Japanese people respond on it. Though they are afraid but the way they act is the most inspiring scenario. When the government give assistance like relief goods, aids and support they fall in line they do not fight on who will be the first to receive the assistance. And I really admire that actions though it simple we can really tell how disciplined they are.
Aside from that, I really admire their education system. If you're not aware, in Japan children do not have any type of examination until they reach the age of ten. Why? In the first three years of students in school they are taught on how to be a disciplined individuals, how to show respect from fellowmen, elders and nature. They are trained to be responsible citizens. And that's what I admire from them, in this age children will not easily learn the word cheating because of exams and etc.
Aside from that the loyalty and patriotism of Japanese people are really admirable. During World War II my grandmother know the different things that happens in that tragic year, she is very young that time and the way she tell the story to us to her grandchildren makes us realized how chaotic the world war II, she told us how loyal the Japanese people are, when the Americans help the Philippines to suppress the Japanese Empire most captive soldier of Japanese Army chose to die for their country. They never betrayed and show disloyalty to their country.
Though world war II has different impacts in the lives of every people in the world. We can say that this event teach us different lessons in life. When United States bomb the Nagasaki part of Japan, many people died, but their are inspiring stories in that aftermath.
The story of a brave boy of Nagasaki. This story was narrated by a US soldier, he said in his story that he saw a boy carrying a baby and base on the situation he can tell that the baby is already dead, he then ask the boy to leave the body but the boy refused and he said "its ok, he's not heavy after all, I will carry him" when the soldier put the baby on the fire to be cremated the boy still stand and watch how he's brother turned into ash. He was bitting he's lower lip so hard and for that you can see the pain of losing someone. After that the boy walked away silently.
And the brave boy of Nagasaki is one of the symbol of Unity in Japan. They believe that camaraderie is the most important things that can uplift someone. If you're family, friends or strangers fall, offer your hand to help them up. If they make mistakes forgive, if the world abandoned your brothers carry them because they are not heavy. They are your family and your friend. After all we are family and we are one.

Are you an Overthinker?
If you are an overthinker like me, its exhausting to think the different scenarios that may possibly happens in your life. The what if's and why's? If this will start to run in your mind, you're in trouble my dear. Overthinking is a bad personality that we need to avoid. It will lead to worries which is considered as the most destructive habit.
But let's open and look on the positive qualities of an overthinker person. What are those good qualities.
**They are the best planner.**
One of the best qualities of an overthinker person ks that most of them are perfectionist they always make sure that all is well. If they planned something for sure it well end up in good way because they think critically and they always ensure that everything is right.
**They are considerate always.**
People who overthink is the most thoughtful individuals. They do not judge a person easily especially ifthey don't know the situation at all. They considered always the situation of a certain person. They often forgive and accept the explanation of other people.
**You don't le go the things easily.**
You easily attached yourself into something especially if you invest your time and effort into it. Even if you know it isn't working anymore you will try and try a way to fixed it.
**You have high expectations in yourself and to other people.**
Most of the individuals who overthink are intelligent individuals. But their expectations is always high. That's why they tend to strive more. If they want to achieve something they will try every possible way to get what they want.
**They always stand on the things that they believe.**
When they make decisions, they tend to overthink and it is the greatest challenge for them, but when they already decide in something they will stand on it until the end. They will fight on what they believe until the end.
**They are futuristic.**
In the present time most of the overthinker individuals tend to think in advance they always assume the different possibilities that will happened along the way and through that if they think that something bad will happen they will think a possible solution to the upcoming problems.
**They are patient.**
The most patient individuals, especially for their love ones. They are always humble and always lower their pride. They forgive easily and if they really want something they will wait for it even if it takes a lot of time.
Aside from those mentioned qualities, I am overthinker, yeah I always overthink especial if my family is involved. Im not really clingy and expressive in my family. But when I ask them in my phone via messenger or text, let say I texted "how are you?" and when they reply, "we're ok" for me its not enough reply I always seek more information and ask them repeatedly until I get want I want. Maybe you will say that you are not an overthinker person but sometimes you do not realized that you already overthink into something.

The Struggle of Novice Writers, How to overcome them?
I've been writing short quoted text since then. I enjoy making quoted text based on the different quotations and stories that I've read. But to write a longer passage like an article is a big challenge. When I published my first article here the first thought that comes into my mind is that "is it effective?" I then ask myself the different possibilities? How about the grammar? I think I have so many errors, what about the flow. And since its too depressing too know that you're not good enough I just accept the fact that its not good and convince myself that next time I need to put a lot of effort and think the topic that I should published here. Every new writer's here has its own problem when it comes to writing a perfect piece. But what are those problems? What are those things that hinders us to continue and be better? I want you to take note if you experience this because this things that I will mentioned is based on my personal experience here.
**About the topic that we should published.**
We often ask ourselves if the topic that we think is a good one or not? right? And that's a good thing, but what's the problem with that? If you already assess the topic then you should stop on that part. Do not overthink anymore, if you think that its good then do it as what you planned. If in case that in the middle part of your article you are lost of words or ideas then its better to rest and stop writing. You should relax first and lighten up your mood. Do not pressured yourself.
Make some inspirations, when writing a piece don't compare it to a school work where their is a deadline that you need to follow. Writing a piece here has no deadline.
**No confidence, you always doubt yourself.**
Im accepting some comments about me from my friends but seriously I don't take it to heart, like this one *"don't try so hard, writing is not your forte"* yeah I know its not my forte, accepted. Im not creative enough to make a good article, but through my stay here I find a way to make myself more creative. If in case that we do not have enough talent in writing then try to reflect on the things that you like. I know most of us has its own hobbies, right? Then try your creativity in other forms, if you enjoy in making drawings, painting, knitting or in crafting then try to featured that talent of yours through writing. Explain the things that you love, and the process on how to make it. And since I do love to make different crafts using paper I even tried that and featured that kind of talent here. Im not only making an article but Im also showcasing my other strength. Just don't be discouraged.
**How I engage myself in the platform?**
As one of the important rule here, you need to widen your engagement. Make some connections to other writers but I am hesitated, yes honestly speaking I am hesitated to make comments and make engagement in other writers here especially if they are known writers here. Why? I just feel that many people will think that Im a social climber or a writer that pop's up from nowhere. That's why I prefer to engage or make comments in the articles of new writers. But I want to overcome that kind of feeling. I want to make engagement to other known writers here to learn from them.
To all novice writers here no matter what problems you have in writing, lets overcome this challenges one step at a time. Being a writer may be tough sometimes but facing this with courage is the best option. Im curious about the problems that you are still facing here.

As of now Im still waiting if she sign up, but seems that she still deciding. I don't want to force her if she don't want, its her choice. Another friend or let say coworker, I talked to him about this platform (This is our convo I'll translate it in english since we talked in tagalog )
*Me: Hey, what are you doing?*
*Friend: As usual, mobile legends?*
*Me: Can I have your time for a moment?*
*Friend: Yeah, sure.*
*Me: Do you know about cryptocurrency?*
*Friend: Yeah, of course I have an account in Axie, why?*
*Me: I know some platforms that pays free Bitcoin Cash.*
*Friend: Sounds good, what's that?*
*Me: Its read.cash and noise.cash, a website in read.cash all you need to do is to published some articles and in noise.cash its like a Twitter and you will be paid in the form of Bitcoin Cash.*
*Friend: Nah, its like Lyka?*

*Friend: No, its not my forte to make an articles. Pass*
Seems that most of my friends and the people I invite to joined read.cash always declined my offer. And one thing I noticed, one of the problem that they are facing is that they are afraid to try maybe they want but they are hesitant because they think that they cannot construct or its hard to make an articles. Did you feel the first time you joined this platform? Afraid that we will just create a not so good articles but I think there is always room for improvement.
Then going back I just want share my experience in my previous account, why my articles did not click or made an impact. The best observation and best advice that I need you to remember.
When you are writing, write an article based on your heart or be sincere. Do not force yourself to write an article or topic which is not your forte and read.cash highly encourage everyone to write the things that you want, if you see an article about crypto and you see that the reward gets by the writer is high, don't force yourself to write an article which in the first place you know that you cannot create a good one. Its better to make it in a slow manner.

Why it is easy for you to leave, maybe you doesn't love me
I sat on the bench and quietly watch the sun to leave as it began to hide itself in the wilderness. Shades of red, yellow and orange filled the horizon this three colors combined together to make a wonderful scenery which is the sunset. As the sun leave this place lights from different parts of this place emerge.
Have you ever thought the reason why the sun leave or why the sun set? Can't it stay here forever? As I am thinking this question a thought came out.
*"It sets because it needs to lighten up the world of others."*
Another thought came out.
*"No.............(full of uncertainty) maybe the sun leaves or sets because.......he is tired already?*
As loneliness filled my heart I don't know what to say or react. My thoughts are like entangled threads, I don't know how to break this loneliness as I still buried myself from the past.
Im sad and thought came out again, *"Maybe the sun wanted to stay but it can't because another place needs its light."*
*"Then why can't it be in both places? For that it can both light them up and no one will be left in sorrow."*
I was emotional this moment, when I graduated college I thought it was the happiest moments of my life, yeah? maybe it is? But as I face the true battles in this world I am completely lost. I forgot my purpose as I still cling on the past and continue to rewind it again and again. I want to forget those things and start over, I want to be happy.
*"Maybe, the sun set because it is the rule of nature and the universe won't allow the sun to stay in both places."*
*"I strongly disagree, if it really want to stay, to stay beside me it could have done something. There's a saying, if there's a will there's a way, the sun is full of excuses."*
Why not accept the fact the reason why a certain person leave is because he doesn't really want to be here, just tell the truth that the reason why a person leave is because there's no love exist anymore. That's the reality and that's the scariest things I ever thought the first time I meet you. That days and weeks maybe perfect but Im afraid to wake up one day and face the reality that you already fall out of love.
Im trying to console myself as a tears starts to form, I don't want to cry anymore, buried the past, oh come on.
*"Everything happens for a reason, maybe the sun sets because he has reasons, he leave me because he has reasons."*
*"Then what are those reasons, Im willing to listen, why not tell me the truth, I don't know what's the reason why you leave me without words, just like that?*
I want to talk to him and know the reasons, but Im afraid as a new moon already take my place.
Im dying inside, all I can do is to depend on myself and look on the positive side. Look on the positive side and start to focus on the things that I love. Have you ever heard a story about entangled threads? Even if it is entangled it can still create a beautiful embroidery. You can fix yourself, believe me.
"Maybe the sun sets because he doesn't *want to hurt the inhabitants of this place, he knows staying for long will wither everything here and he doesn't want that to happen. He doesn't want this place to die because he values the moments and memories that you shared."*
Why? He leave me because of one reason, staying beside me will not the solution, if you fall out love, just face it make a good decision even if it hurts. Its better to face that reality that cheat and continue to hurt the person that loves you, its better to leave and save those wonderful memories that you shared.
I hope that one day we can find the true enlightenment and be friends again. We are one of those million people whom our fate don't match.

A Shot in the Arm
I remember the day when I submit my application letter as a science teacher in Lipa City Colleges. I thought that I will failed the interview because that time Im not prepared, why? Im not prepared because that time Im working as a production operator in Lima Technology Center and Im in the night shift. I leave the company at exactly 7am in the morning and directly go in my interview appointment in Lipa City Colleges. In the email that they send to me they say that the interview will start at 8am but the interviewer arrived at exactly 11am. I was sleepy that time and I cannot think clearly because Im tired already, that time all I want is to rest and go home. As the interview goes on, I do not absorb the question wholeheartedly, I just answer in the things that runs in my mind. That time I already know that I failed. But after three days I received an email I am accepted to the next level of application the last level which is the demonstration teaching. For 63 applicants only 10 got the chance to proceed on the last level. I observed the leaderboard and score of the 10 applicants who passed the interview, and to my shock Im in the lowest level (Im not really shock it is expected already, im still thankful that I passed the interview). After the demonstration teaching, I don't want to brag but Im in the first spot, Im not that good I know but I don't know why the panel chooses me as the number 1 in the demonstration teaching. After that I sign the contract.
After three years I decided not to renew my contract. Its not an easy decision because I already love and treat my LCC fam as family. Before I leave I received a lot of message from my students. The things that they like about me and the things that they want to change about me. I treat those comment as a positive feedback. So let's read some comments from my students.
**1. What are the good characteristics of your science teacher?**
**1. What are the things that you want to change about your science teacher?**
****From Tristan****
*For me, there are many good characteristics of our science teacher, he is hardworking, optimistic, professional at his work, and is overall a very well-rounded person.*
*In my opinion, skills-wise and personality-wise, not much, he’s already a great teacher in the field of science.*
****From Earl****
*The good characteristics of my teacher in what I’ve observed this school year is that he is very hardworking and considerate to us students. I’m really thankful that he had these characteristics that truly helped us out*
*I don’t think there is much to change about our teacher, he did a lot for us this year and that’s all I don’t really have much to say.*
****From Aaron****
*The good characteristics of my science teacher is whenever we have questions about the topic discussed, he is there to answer it and when it comes to sending private messages, he may not reply that quick but we just have to wait because he is a teacher and a teacher has a lot of important things to do. When our science teacher discusses, he explains very well and he adds more information that is not on the book and this can help us to have more knowledge about the topic.*
*The things I want to change about my science teacher is when it comes to the info’s, he doesn’t put all of the info’s on the PPT instead, he only says the other information by speaking and he sometimes speaks fast so I can’t really catch up when it comes to taking notes. That is the only thing I want him to change.*
****From Edward****
*As I have observed, the good characteristic of our science teacher is that he's always ready to explain every bit of the lectures. Even the unnecessary questions that the student may ask, he will always explain and give us more knowledge about them.*
*The thing that I want to change about my science teacher is that he sometimes has high expectations for our section and always says a phrase that makes us students feel pressured about that pressured to be the best and have high scores. Also, the PowerPoints that he makes always have little information about that topic, and I can't really have the exact explanation of that certain topic.*
****From Wyelee****
*The good characteristic of my science teacher is that he prepares before he meets us virtually. He uses PPTs as a way for us to learn easily. He gives us feedbacks after we answer the questions in Oral Evaluation.*
*The things I want to change about my Science teacher is his way of encouraging us. Instead of actually encouraging us, we feel like we're being pressured, this is what I would like to change about our science teacher.*
****From Matthew****
*You are such an amazing science teacher. You are fair enough in treating your students. For me, you are one of the best science teachers I've ever met. Thank you po.*
*Sincerely Sir, there is nothing to change about you. You are good enough as our science teacher. Thank you po for being one of your students. I will miss you Sir. Goodluck po whatever journey you will take.*
****From Vannah****
*Some of his good characteristics are being considerate to his students and being hands-on in his lessons. He makes sure that all of his students understand the lesson that is being tackled.*
*He should lessen the pressure on his students in order for them to stay focused. He should also lower his expectations because every student learns in different ways.*
****From Althea****
*For me, the good characteristic of my teacher in science is the fact that he always encourages us to do our best and he is also good in teaching because he gives the details and information so we can understand the lesson. He gives us time for us to finish our projects and if we couldn’t meet the deadline because we still have other projects to do, he extends the deadline so we could finish it. He is also very understanding on us especially if we have a valid reason as to why we were late or couldn’t attend the class and etc.*
*I mentioned that one of the good characteristics of my science teacher is that he always encourages us but sometimes the expectation is too much and that makes me feel more pressured so I wasn’t able to focus on the task at hand because of the pressure. He makes a presentation but it doesn’t have many information about the lesson because he mainly uses his words and there is also little information in the book so it was hard to keep up and write notes while also trying to understand the lesson since he also talks very fast. When we have quizzes, he’s always talking not that I think it’s bad but sometimes It becomes too much, it distracts me from focusing on the questions so my mind is split into two from answering and listening and there is also a timer so double the pressure. I know it’s hard being a teacher because my aunt is also one and I can see how much work she has especially since we have a pandemic so I understand if he sometimes have flaws and we are all humans. Nobody is perfect.*
****From Sophia****
*Our science teacher is very hands-on when it comes to discussions and things, especially as the lessons become more difficult as time passes. He is one of the few who does not always provide only recorded lectures as he also teaches what is in them on the next planned day. He also believes in us, in his students, as though we can be better than yesterday. I appreciate them.*
*No one is flawless, including him. Unlike recorded lectures, where you can adjust the speed to better understand, you cannot do so when speaking directly to them. There are some words I don't understand, so I have to repeat the questions three or four times before I get what he's saying. I did add that he believes we can still be better than we were yesterday, but his encouragements were often misconstrued as expectations (maybe inadvertently), especially because we were in the top section. He would remark that we would polish those oral quizzes and that we should be able to do them when we answered them. The expectation he placed on us was not performing as planned. I'd be distracted, wondering if I deserved to be here because such questions were difficult to answer. I know he never intended for this to happen, but I recommend that he adjust the words of encouragement he uses and avoid doing so when kids are focused on the activities at hand.*
****From Frances****
*Sir Wowie has been our Science teacher since Grade 7, and I can say, based on my experience in attending his classes, that he is an effective teacher. He is well prepared in every class and is very ready to teach the lesson assigned for that day. It was as if he memorized all that he says to us. And he is also very attentive whenever we have questions. Then, one trait that I like about Sir, is that whenever we have a lesson, he will give us a video lecture that will be sort of an advance reading thingy, and that really helps me whenever I have to answer Sir’s question. Then, he is also very kind just like when we request to have a longer deadline, he will grant our request. And lastly, he has a sense of humor, which really helps to brighten the mood in our class.*
*Based on my experience, whenever we have a zoom meeting, I understand that Sir only wants us to understand what he says, but it gets hard whenever he speaks so fast, and we cannot follow what he is saying anymore. Another thing in class, I know that he is just joking whenever he asks this, he will always ask if we would like to have the PPT or the PDF he used during our class, but then, I hope that he will not ask any more about that and will just send the PPT or PDF file because we always need it to review what we have learned during the class. These will be all that I would like to put in here since my other classmates will also put other things that they notice during class on their file, so it will just repeat and repeat. Thank you.*
****From Andrea****
*The good characteristics of our science teacher is that he is hands-on when it comes to teaching. He elaborates and gives additional information about the topic we are discussing. Our teacher also provides learning activities that helps evaluate our understanding and improve it.*
*When it comes to virtual discussion, he often speaks a little fast which can be hard when taking notes though he is able to make adjustments to it once you ask him or once you point it out. There are also times where the given additional informations are stated verbally which makes it harder for the students who can't keep up much or for those who are lagging due to the network connection. Sir already explained to us the reason why he insists on saying it verbally and I agree with it but a little consideration for those who are struggling to keep up would be very much appreciated. When it comes to virtual discussions, activities, and way of teaching, I think they are all good and effective.*
****From Athena****
*Our teacher is a kind-hearted teacher though there may be times where he will be strict, however not as a terror teacher but a teacher who is willing to discipline his students for their own good. He is a responsible teacher who trusts his students and will rely on them whenever he needs help from them. He likes complimenting his students to be able to not let their guard down and I’ve experienced that myself.*
*Honestly, he is the teacher who wants to see his students improve and always makes sure that his students learn that’s why there are activities every after discussion. When his students have a busy schedule and ask him to change the deadline, he does so without hesitation. He constantly reminds us that we are capable of accomplishing things.*
*Sir Wowie is a caring teacher who is capable of doing things you didn't know he was capable of. I like how he added information from other websites because our book is lacking in information. He genuinely cares about our future because he will explain a difficult topic to us even if it was a difficult topic for him during his student days. He never fails to make us laugh during any discussion because he makes random jokes to keep us entertained. He also asks us openly to not be shy to tell him if we have a problem with his way of teaching.*
*A teacher who is open to everyone, a very kind-hearted one, and a loving one too. Salute to all these characteristics of his because he made his students proud specially that throughout the 2 years that he has taught us, I’ve witnessed his improvements. Sir Wowie possesses positive characteristics, but, just like everyone else, he has flaws, though not many. Some flaws I'd like him to change are how he speaks in every discussion, which may be too fast for others to follow even if I can. There are many scientific terms that we don't know how to spell, so he should include them in his presentation. Some students may also experience connection issues, making it more difficult for them to catch up. Additionally in his PowerPoint Presentations, there are times that it lacks information in which the absentees in that certain discussion will not be able to catch up and may find it hard to catch up.He also lavishes praise on his students, but we are often under extreme pressure. I was also able to receive this extreme pressure. Many of my classmates have admitted to feeling pressured as a result of the increased expectations placed on our class because we are the star section. Sir Wowie places so much trust in us that we are sometimes unable to meet his expectations. It also saddens us because we aren't always capable of exaggerating things. I appreciate his faith in us, but some of us are under pressure at times. Lastly, his activities are hard to handle at times not because of how difficult it is but the number of items there are in the activity makes us exhausted. Overall, there are not much flaws but once he changes these, I believe that he will be the best version of himself. There is a room of improvement and I hope that even if he won’t be our teacher in the upcoming school year, he will still be able to show how much he loves his students and that he has improved. Hence, as a student of his, I will be very proud and I always have.*
I really enjoy reading the different messages of my students about me, what they like about me and the things that they want to change about me. I take those comment as a positive feedback, I do love them, so much. Those moments that we shared its priceless. I am hoping for their success. Goodluck guys to your future endeavors.

Non-fungible tokens: How to avoid NFT Scam?
One of the trending news last year was NFT's or Non-fungible tokens. NFT is a kind of digital assets belongs to a certain owner that exist on a blockchain or ledger, a bit similar to cryptocurrencies. It is a collectible piece of artwork which is stored in a web. A unique collectible like paintings, audio clips, photos, GIF's and other digital items.
**What is the difference of NFT's to Cryptocurrencies?**
It’s very simple to differentiate the two, NFT's are non-fungible tokens which is interchangeable and every NFT's are different. It means that specific tokens represent a certain information, like for example this token represents ownership of this piece of digital art or this token represent an ownership of a piece of a song. It is secured in a blockchain and can be bought and sold through online marketplaces like OpenSea.
This cryptographic asset successfully hooked the interest of different web enthusiasts around the world reaching a market value of $40 billion.
As this digital asset dominate the online world last year we cannot deny the fact that number of scammers also increases with the aim of deceiving other people and stealing their digital items. As NFT's become valuable many people try to have some digital assets, aside from many scammers are trying to steal some valuable NFT’s. To avoid being deceive we need to create a personal manifesto and know the things around before we engage or make a decision.
**How do NFT scams work?**
People who has the intention to steal something from you will do anything. Don't be trick by sugarcoated words. Scams in NFT work by either stealing your important/personal login credentials or tricking you into believing that you purchased an NFT, in can exist in emails, SMS and etc. So, if ever that a suspicious email pop up in your inbox do not click it right away as it may be a trap to steal your personal information. As of today, many cybercriminals are attracted to do bad things as the value of NFT's continue to grow. They will even jump into hacking methods, such as phishing to enter the account of a crypto user and steal their NFT's. We need to be aware and vigilant always as this people are waiting and observing your weak points for them to get a chance to steal your assets.
**What are the common NFT scams?**
Let’s try to know the common NFT scams and I know some of this scam work in different social media platform. Literally speaking there are lot’s of NFT scam in Facebook and you need be aware especially for the link posted by a random account, most of the victim of this scammers are new or novice in crypto.

As you can observe in Twitter and Facebook there are lot of pages that offers different giveaways. They will send a specific link to you which is mostly directed into your telegram account. Then after that you will be instructed to provide your login credentials or addresses of your wallets and for that they will get that chance to record want you type and try to access your main wallet and steal your assets. Don't easily trust the different airdrop offers in Facebook as some of them are ways to deceive you. Its easy to know if the person is a scammer, if this user who offers a certain NFT used a dummy account in Facebook then it’s obvious, you don’t need to think twice it’s a scam. ***Its better to be safe than sorry.***
**2. Fake Offers**
There are different offers that we can see in different social media platform about NFT's, but mostly a sugarcoated offer will be sent via email. Then after that if you believe in that offer and click the link you will be redirected in a fake marketplace and as you use your login credentials, scammers will use the different spyware methods to imitate your login credentials as a result your asset will be steal easily. So, its better to avoid this kind of trick it is common nowadays.
**3. Fake NFT websites**
This problem is one of the common scams in NFT's. There are lots of skilled cybercriminals roaming online. Some of them are trying to imitate the trusted NFT website to lure and deceive the other people. That's why we need to check and verify first the website that we use before making an action. Try to ask someone who is knowledgeable in that field, it’s better to ask a person that you personally know.
**4. Counterfeit or Plagiarized NFT's**
If hackers had the ability to imitate a certain NFT website, they also make a counterfeit or fake NFT's. Scammers who plagiarized a certain work will use a minting trick to deceive other people. As a victim you will believe that the NFT's that you purchased is a unique one, but the truth is you are tricked. How can you avoid this? Before you purchase a certain NFT you need to check the authenticity of the NFT by doing a reverse google image search. Aside from that if you observed that the offer is to good to be true then you should really check its authenticity.
**5. Customer Support Impersonation**
Presence of mind is important, if in your desktop computer or in your laptop you receive a message for urgent computer problem do not click it automatically. Scam tactics may include pop up warning messages that will appear on your screen or call impersonation from a well-known company. Instructions will be sent to you with the aim of stealing your assets and personal information. Some people tried to imitate some customer service to lure you, they will act as a real customer support. Scammer's tends to make fake servers on communication apps like in Discord.
Just be aware of this kind of tricks as we don't know when this people come to us maybe now, tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.
**How to avoid this kind of Scams?**
Always verify the URL of a marketplace that you are using before you make a purchase.
Always verify the senders of emails if they are trusted individuals or not. If you feel that they are suspicious do not engage anymore. Trust your instincts. Ignore suspicious emails, SMS and calls.
Make a strong password for your online accounts.
Always check NFT price, some of the scammers tried to lower the value of certain NFT to deceive other people. It is also important to verify the account of the seller.
Never ever share your recovery phrase or seed phrase.

Handcraft Peacock
Today I decided to make a handcraft peacock, though its not good because I ask my sister about it. Then she said it is ugly.
Early in the afternoon I decided to clean my room and organized my things. Then to my dismay I saw a lot of test papers from my students. I failed to return this papers because of pandemic. Instead of throwing it I decided to use it in my hobby about crafting. I decided to make a peacock. Why peacock, I just saw a video in my TikTok account about how peacock is imported and how this animals experience trauma and for that I gain an idea of what artwork will I make.
The things that I used to make this of course paper, colored paper, scissors and glue. I start making this at exactly 1pm in the afternoon and I finished it around 8:30pm. For my final product I take a lot of pictures.
Then after that I showed it to my sister, I ask her if it is ok for me to post it in read.cash but to my shock she said its ugly of course that moment I hesitated to post it in read.cash because my sister said it is ugly. This is the exact words that she said to me. (This is our convo since its tagalog I will translate it in English)
*Me: Is it ok? (Im referring to my handmade craft)*
*My Sister: What's that?*
*Me: A peacock?*
*My Sister: hmmm*
*Me: is it ok? Or good to post it in read.cash?*
*My Sister: No, its ugly.*
*Me: What? Why?*
*My Sister: Nothing it's just ugly and why did you put the Bitcoin Cash logo? Are you trying to show off?*
*Me: Is it bad?*
*My Sister: Yeah don't post that.*
*Me: ok😐*
I decided not to post it, I take another glance on the peacock that I made. Of course Im sad, then I make another article to published tonight. While making an article a message pop up in my phone and my friend whom I invited in noise.cash ask me. Since yesterday I told her that I want to make a craft inspired by Bitcoin Cash, she ask me if Im done. I replied to her (This is our convo since its tagalog I will translate it in English)
*Friend: Hey, are you done with your artwork?*
*Me: Yes, but its ugly*
*Friend: May I see?*
*Me: I send the picture to her.*
*Friend: No its not, its beautiful.*
*Me: Are you trying to fool me? My sister told me its ugly.*
*Friend: Huh? Its beautiful for me.*
*Me: hmmm, I don't know, since you said its good, is it ok to publish it in read.cash?*
*Friend: Of course. Honestly speaking its beautiful.*
For that I decided to post it here in read.cash.
Why did I put the Bitcoin Cash logo in the body of the peacock? Its not intentional, in my previous article I mentioned that the printed logo of Bitcoin Cash was printed last year. Why did I print this? Last year, I always put the cut logo of Bitcoin Cash in different public transpo like jeepney and tricycle. Why did I do that? Since Im using noise.cash I always saw a post about the campaign for Bitcoin Cash and for that I tried a little. I remember one time when I put a Bitcoin Cash logo in one of the public transpo that I used, a passenger ask me if what's the logo that I put. We have a little convo about that, I told him about Bitcoin Cash and noise.cash. I don't know if he sign up in noise.cash since we are strangers.
Going back to the question why did I put a Bitcoin Cash in the body of peacock, I just want to show some good vibes. And encourage everyone to take the positive side and be at ease, maybe not today not tomorrow, Bitcoin Cash will rise again and reach its highest price. 😊
It's not important if Im tired making this craft the important thing is I enjoyed it.
Online Scam: How to avoid online Scams?
Scammer are everywhere and you need to be vigilant and be a kin observer. Do not trust easily, yes we have the saying "take a risk" this attitude is important but you need to take a risk in a trusted investment platforms. If you are new or a novice in online investments you should consult first an expert. Do not engage or ask a person that you meet online. Yes some of them are trusted but not all, let's take the safe route. What if the person that you ask online is an expert scammer, right? I myself I already experience to be scammed not once, not twice but I get scammed multiple times. I do not know why I always tricked by greedy individuals. All I need is to earn but what did I get?
Do have an idea about the different types of scam online?
Online scams can be seen in different aspects as it is facilitated or actually done by cybercriminals who has the intention to deceive you, to steal your personal information and worst steal your financial assets.
Base on my personal experience
Who opened my mind about online investments? Its a plus for Bitcoin Cash and noise.cash since this platform is the one that opens my mind about investments and cryptocurrencies. At first I am hesitant to join noise.cash but when I tried it and introduce by my friend I never liked the platform because I am captured and love it wholeheartedly. I start to trust the other offers online, I tried to invest and I tried to invite and convince my colleagues to join the way that I am taking. I encourage my sister my co workers and now literally they even surpassed me and as of now all I can say is that they are much more knowledgeable about online investments and cryptocurrencies compare to me.
My first scam? When? Its about a networking platform. At first they offer a lot of promos and incentives. They use a sugarcoated words to convince people. And Im one of those people that they convince. Why do I treat them as a kind of scam? Its because of their explanation. They want you to enter or grab the bait that they prepared so that you cannot escape the trap.
First, they will explain to you that all you need to do is to pay such kind of amount and after that you will earn money double the amount that you paid. As for me I accept the offer I paid the price that they say. After that, my understanding to their previous explanation before I joined is that I will just sit and wait for the return of investment. That's what I understand. Then to my shock I need to attend various seminars which I hated most different trainings after that, I compose myself I convinced myself that it is part of the networking platform. In my case if they already explained it in the beginning I will never joined. Next after the seminars? To my shock I need to avail their products? Yes it is needed for the return of investment. And after that I already lost my patience because after availing there products you are required to sell those product to return your money. And that's the most traumatizing experience for me, Im not the only one who experience this even my best friend and co workers they experience this kind of scam. (I got scammed here for at least 6,000 pesos or $120)
Next investment in cryptocurrency, I remember the jaguar platform if some of you becomes a victim of this website, your not alone. How I scammed by this platform? One of my online friend invited me joined this platform, he said that the money that I will invest will increase 120% per day. At first I never believe him but because he showed to me his withdrawal history then I believe him eventually. Jaguar is a website that accepts Bitcoin. I tried the website I top up and recharge a certain amount to try its validity. I convert my money into Bitcoin. Then the next thing that I do I send it to the website as per instructed, at first I send $10 dollars (in Bitcoin form) then after a day it returned to me for about $12. For that Im amazed because my capital increases. The following day I invest again for $20 dollars then same thing happened it increases 120% as promised then when it reaches $50, or when I invest $50 dollars to my shocked they never returned my money. And a news spread that the website is a whole scam. For that I cannot do anything.
Next scam? Hahaha Im a constant victim here I never learned, Yeah I always scammed but I never stop to trust. Even some people are liar, still I don't want to change. The next scam is the Leefire if your familiar, I joined because of my sister's encouragement even her coworkers joined the platform. At first it pays but when many users starts to invest the platform stop to operate here, Im not really heart broken because I only invest $4.
My only message for those who wants to try and invest online. To avoid regrets at the end you should do some background checking and do not trust easily. It is safer to invest in trusted website or platforms.
Be aware on the different tricks used by cybercriminals like phishing via email, in social media sites, SMS message on your phone, phone calls and etc.

BCH: Flower Base Inspired by Bitcoin Cash
The whole day I am thinking the article that I will published here in read.cash. Though Im a bit sad because the price of BCH continue to decrease. Im also worried in read.cash and noise.cash as the price of BCH continue to fall. Why? I want this two platform to continue to operate until Bitcoin cash becomes the leading cryptocurrency. Aside from this read and noise inspire and help a lot of users from different parts of the world.
Today while thinking the article that I will published I decided to focus on the things that I like. I decided to make a flower base. It is made of paper a colored paper. While making the flowers from papers I saw the printed logo of Bitcoin cash that I printed last year and decided to use it as design in the center of the flower like the sunflower.
This are the materials that I used, colored paper, scissors, glue and glue stick. The first thing that I do is to decide the color of the flowers and since the available colored paper are blue and orange only I decided to use this colors. I start cut and shaped the paper flowers.
I stop for a moment while making my paper flower base. I decided to take a rest and browse my social media accounts. While surfing in the internet, a message pop up and I decided to open it. The message is from my student. Though I never meet her since we always talked and discuss the lesson virtually. I am still happy and emotional on the other side because of her message for me. It is a thank you message for the whole school year. Let's read her message. I do not put the name.
*Dear Sir 💌*
*I'm 💌💌, student of Sir 💌 this previous school year 2021-2022. Being almost one year with him in class, I can see some of his characteristics that helped him to do well in his work/profession.*
*Patient. I'm so happy that Sir 💌 is patient enough to his students especially when there are some students who didn't follow rules, directions and deadlines. Sir 💌 never give up to his students and he will try a lot of things, ways to make them motivated in studying. He tries new things for the class to be better.*
*On the positive/brighter side. He welcome and encourage students to do their best and what they can do all the times. He helped us to develop our personality and made us experience that learning can be fun too. I realized that when the teacher is on positive vibes only, it makes the student more cooperative, and thats what Sir 💌 does.*
*Honest. He gives us honest feedback about our works and how we did it, did we made something wrong or its just fine. He doesn't give us bad feedback that can hurt us. He doesn't compliment us just to cover our mistakes, instead he gives us second chance to be better.*
*Responsible. When he gave us homeworks or activities, he never leave us with a lot of questions in mind. Even our tuition fees, he never forget to remind us when we are in a meeting. When a students doesn't know what to do or didn't understand the instructions, he will explain it again and again just for the student to understand.*
*Dedicated. He really shows that he loves what hes doing. Even though there are problems with the internet connection, he made us feel that it can always be solved. I can tell how dedicated a teacher by knowing his hardworks.*
*This school year, Sir 💌 really showed us how dedicated, how ready he is to his work.*
*In summary, Sir 💌 is a passionate and inspiring teacher that can be the role-model of a student like me. I salute you, Sir Wowie.*
*From: 💌*
I am so happy to receive such kind of message from my student. I can feel the satisfaction and I its worth it to be their teacherr.
Lets Continue
For the flower base, the next thing that I do is the background petals. Then the improvise stem.
After doing all the needed design for my flower base of course I start to complete the flower base and put the Bitcoin cash design on it.
That's the final look of my flower base inspired by Bitcoin Cash

Silence: A Quiet Place
Have you ever tried to talk to someone and at the end of your conversation you begin to argue on something. Where both parties has its own stand and don't want to give in, why? Why don't we give in and chose to be humble? Its because of our PRIDE. I know and I already experience how bad to crash our pride and our ego. As long as there's a reason that we can think to defend our side we will continue to fight until the end.
As I grow older, I learned something important, a realization that totally awakened my whole system. I truly understand the word SILENCE, sometimes we need to stay silent and quiet. If we see that other people are busy fighting on their beliefs, you just need to stay still. It's not worth it to argue on something where we know that they will never accept your opinion.
When I was in highschool I am not active as you think, yes I belong in star section or let say first section. Im always quiet during discussion, I do not participate that's why sometimes our teachers misinterpreted my behavior as they think that I am not listening. One time a teacher challenges my capacity as he ask me a surprise question at the middle of discussion. But what made him shock is that I answered his question accurately. It doesn't mean that you are silent means that you are ignorant. I believe that majority of the silent or quiet students hides something that we cannot anticipate. Another experience is that when some teachers during my high school days give a surprise quiz or test Im always in the top tier.
When I entered college I tried to be active, but I only speak when it is needed. You can say that Im serious student, and I will say, NO Im not. My friends knows me well, Im just quiet during discussions but when Im with my friends I talk to much like a parrot.
You can also use silence as a weapon in chasing your dreams and a cloak in social media. When chasing your dreams it's better to stay humble as possible. Don't ever brag your achievements especially if you are still in the way of accomplishing your goals. If you do that people won't notice you and they will never talk anything about you as they think that you are not worth it. The best time to show your achievements is when you are already in the end of your journey. Be quiet when you are in your way to reach your dreams and let your success be your noise.
In social media, its better to stay quiet and low-key than to voice out your opinions. Today, for me the most toxic place to stay in is the social media. You can be bashed anytime especially when speak something which majority of the people are against your point. If you want to prove something social media is not the best place for you. As most of us has its own point and beliefs in life. As I browse my social media accounts everyday I read a lot of drama which I considered as unnecessary. You can encounter a post or status in some social media sites where you are encourage to share your thoughts, but in the end its better to stay silent than to talk or listen in unnecessary drama. I know we have the capability to filter the things which important. Try to listen in something which will give some benefits to you and avoid those drama which will give you problem and complications.
Always move in silence, those who are silent in the beginning always win and success, but those who talk to much always lose. When to speak? The best time to speak is when you will say the word CHECKMATE.

A Bond That Will Last Forever
Friends are family members that we never had. But the bonding and happy moments that you shared will last forever.
Last April 2, 2022 we decided to have an outing together with friends. We decided to go in Sariaya, Quezon to swim. That plan was not intended as we talk it online and I thought that they are not serious. Since most of them are busy with their work, but one of are friends is eager to make that plan to happened that's why before April 2, we decided to meet up and talk the things before we go in Sariaya.
As we arrived in the place we noticed that theirs a lot of tourist in the resort, we rent a cottage and a mini apartment. We spend our night in that resort. Since it's the time again when I stepped on a beach me and my close friends decided to make a stroll in the area we take a lot of pictures and talked different things about our life, some of our friends are in the mini apartment as they prepare the foods and other things for that night.
We rent a karaoke to enjoy our short vacation in Sariaya. As the night comes some of them decided to swim and others prepare the table to drink some alcoholic beverages. But of course I informed them that I am restricted for those kind of drinks because of my health. It's a fun experience because as midnight comes some of our friends drinks a lot and talk unnecessary things about their life. Some of them talk their secrets in front of everyone. That moment is priceless and we never expected it to happened.
When morning comes of course we decided to swim and enjoy our vacation. We hired a boat to stroll in Sariaya, Quezon. Im not afraid because Im a good swimmer. Our tour guide instruct us to wear a life jacket for our safety. I followed the instructions but before we dive in the water I decided not to wear a life jacket because I am uncomfortable before I do that I first ask the permission of our tour guide.
Though Costa Sariya Beach Resort in Sariaya, Quezon is not the best beach in the Philippines, the most important is the bonding that we shared together with my friends.
How about you? How did you spend your summer vacation with your friends and families?
Effort: How will you greet your Mother tomorrow?
Tomorrow we will celebrate the day of the most hardworking individual in our planet, our mother. But how will you greet your mother? Some of us will buy flowers for them and treat them in an expensive restaurants. Aside from material things what else can you give to your mother. I encourage everyone to give a short message to your mother as thank you message for taking care of us. That's why aside from gifts I decided to make a greeting card wherein I write a short message showing my love and care for them. I write a message showing how grateful I am and how lucky I am to be their son.
I know that we have different types of actions on how to show our love to our parents. But for me don't ever forget to say how much you love them, because once they leave this world you cannot have the chance again like the opportunity that you have today.
How did I make my greeting card? I used a cardboard and colored paper. This are the materials that I used to make a simple greeting card, its me to show how sincere I am to my message.
Materials:
Cardboard
Colored paper
Glue
Scissors
Glitters
The first thing that I do is to cut the cardboard to get the desired size that I want.
Next I put a cover on it using a colored paper.
Then I start to put some design on it. And cut the letters to greet my mother, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
Then after doing the design inside the greeting card, I decided to put some design on the front of the greeting card.
Where did I put my message? There is a small envelope inside and that's where I put my message.
I hope that through this you will give some effort to greet your mother, after all EFFORT is one of the proof that you care.
Happy Mother's Day to all mother's around the world.
Ordinary Talent But Extraordinary Perseverance
What are your talents that you should be proud of? Do you have one? Mind sharing it to everyone? Don't hoard or keep it in a box, showcase your own talents who knows if that's the key for you to be successful.
As a person I believe that everyone of us has its own unique talents. But what do you think is the one that hinders us to show that kind of talent? Its our fears, fears to show it in the darkest corner of our life. Afraid that people will not appreciate the things that you show, hesitant that other people is better than you. This are the things that hinders us to showcase our talents, but what you need to practice is the courage to show it to the word because if you keep it and hoard it, your talent will become rusty like a nail which is kept in a box.
When I entered high school I am afraid. I am still dependent on my parents and since my parents don't want me to grow in that way they teach me on how to be independent. In my first year in high school theirs a lot of requirements that you need to do, it's far different when you are in elementary. I remember when my science teacher told us to make a certain project for the first quarter we are excited and since we are belong in the first section which is admired by most of the students we are competitive. That time I made my project on time I already planned the content but what is missing is the design that I need to put on it. For us, for the first section all project must be presented in a perfect manner its not enough that the content is good you should stand among the crowd. That time I ask my mother to help me to make designs in my project but what do you think happened? My mother scolded me.
She said "its not my project, I already give money to you to buy the things that you need." That time I think that my mother don't want to help me that's why I cried and cried that night, I can't even ask my father since he is busy with his work. To my brother and sister they are busy to their studies in college and they move out in the city year ago. I do not know what to do, I am pressured because a lot of people are expecting good about me since I am in the top section. That night I made my project while crying, I cut and cut those colored papers to add designs I tried to imitate the things that my sister do but after an hour I observed the outcome, its worst. I have no choice but to pass my project so even if it is ugly outside I make sure that it is beautiful inside with the content on it.
When I arrived in school that morning I observed their project, its beautiful, what I did is I hide my project I don't want them to laugh and mock me. Most of my classmates are supported by their parents they help them to make project beautiful and good, I was jealous that time. That moment I realized something, to live you need to depend on yourself and be strong. Those epic moments of my life repeatedly happened.
But when the second year in high school comes, it changed. I didn't expect that my talent improved a lot, for every project that a teacher gave to us I always stand on the crowd, even my classmates and other teachers ask me to help them to think some designs for their bulletin board, for their shelves and many more. I was recognized in school as one of the best student in craftsmanship. I am proud for that.
One thing that I want to realized, if your parents are hard and strict sometimes don't be disheartened I know they have reasons similar to my mother. Today I am thankful to my mother because she teaches me on how to depend on my own.
Don't say that you cannot do it, try before you complain. See? At first I do not know that I have a talent in craftsmanship. Sometimes our talent is hidden try to discovered it and make it as your strength.
If you have a talent, show it don't hide it, spend it lavishly like a millionaire with the intent on going broken.
My talent😊
In paper cutting, I just need a scissors and a paper/colored paper. I don't use any kind of tracers.
Next you just need to know the words that you want to form, for example "Ordinary Talent but Extraordinary Perseverance"
This is the initial outcome.
Next I decided to put the letters on a different colored paper to highlight its shape.
Next I cut it again and present the final outcome.
If you have talent don't be shy to show it to other people.
Forbidden LOVE
Note: This story was based on my personal experience.
When I was a kid I know in myself that something is wrong with me. With me as a child I do not know what gender or sex means. My playmates during childhood days are mostly girls. Im not ashamed during that days but when I entered the first grade in elementary I discern something the difference between girls and boys. What color is for boys, what color is for girls, what toys should I buy and many more. In my first grade my classmates started to bully me as they say that I am gay, as a kid of course what will you feel? Ashamed right? Afraid and confused. As they started to bully me I distance myself to other people especially to girls, I am alone the whole elementary days. I am alone, afraid and confused. Afraid that my parents will scold me that they will send me away. I do not know what to do but because of fears I hide myself in the deepest part of the closet. I never felt the happiness that normal kids should feel, I am embarrassed to myself and to tell you the truth I ask God why did he let me ended in this kind of situation, but instead of wasting my time. I decided to enter the church and joined as one of the choirs. Through my stay I realized something, I realized that your character is the most important things that you need to protect that no matter what your identity is you should accept it and live with it. But I was afraid to accept it.
At the age of 7 I start to fall in love with a boy he is our neighbor, he is so caring, kind and never tried to bully me as if he is my brother. Aside from his handsome looks one thing that makes me fall in love with him is his kindness during that time he is 10 years old he is three years older than me.
My happiness fades away when I heard a news from him, his family decided to move in the city which is miles away in our province. I am so sad that time, I want to go with him, but how? What can I do?
Four years past and I already forget him. I am happy with my life as a teenager as a high school student, I've meet some friends but they do not know that I am gay. I hide this secret since then. My life changed when his family returned to our province, I thought that he already graduated in high school but I was surprised when he enrolled in our school as a third year student and during that time Im already second year high school.
Since he is our neighbor I decided to visit him and talked some things. We talked a lot of things and through that we became comfortable to each other. One time he invited me to sleep in their house, I accept the offer, during that night we watch movies and after that we decided to sleep he turn off the light and lie beside me, but during that time I can't sleep, even though the room is filled with darkness I know that we are facing each other because I can feel his hot breath in my face. Im am so shocked when he start to kiss me, of course its my first time I do not know how to react. But because of his guidance I follow the beat and that night I am filled with happiness.
After what happened to us I cleared something we agreed to be a secret lover, I am blessed because he is sweet though we secretly dated his affections to me is also hidden, he wants to publicized our relationship but I disagree. We fight for that but after I explaining something to him he understand. What do you think is the big issue that's why I am afraid to publicized our relationship? Its because of my father, I am afraid that my father will know that I am gay, I am afraid that people will mock my father because I am gay. My father is a respected barangay councilor in our town, thats why I keep my secret until now.
Do you know what's funny? No one in our school knows our relationship even my friends. He is my first in everything but we broke up, I broke up with him because of my fear to accept my true identity. We broke up last 2012 and that was my biggest regret in my life.
