I spent more time traveling than submitting my requirements

Have you ever spent more time traveling long distances than submitting specific requirements to meet a project or appointment deadline? I experienced it a while ago when I submitted my requirements for the scholarship. I came from Tanza, so the distance to Kawit is not far, but what makes the journey so long is the traffic. The heavy traffic in Tanza and Tejero made it impossible to exit the said locations within 30 minutes.

The weather aligned with my plan, although it was gloomy. It didn’t rain. I walked a long distance going out from our village, and when I came back home, I walked again. The fare cost is around 30 pesos, and since I am not running out of time, I chose to walk. Surprisingly, I didn't expect to be sweating so much. Perhaps my body doesn’t have enough water. I was just kidding! Water is life. I always had my tumbler with me because I drink a lot, like a lot.

Whenever I travel, especially riding a bus, I make sure that my earphones are with me, both wired and wireless. Listening to my favorite music instead of the random music playing on the bus keeps me calm. The noise from buses, jeepneys, and other nearby sources is bothering me.  This has happened to me since the day I became addicted to music. Gosh! I am not actually like this, but discord changed me a lot. a sudden shift of interest.

Anyways, I had to get my certificate of indigency from my aunt in Kawit before I headed to the municipality. You know what? My heart is feeling nervous since I do not have any valid ID that states my address in Kawit because all of my IDs are addressed to Tanza. Fortunately, they accepted my voter’s certification since there’s no voter ID anymore. Is that true? Or is my information wrong? I had a photocopy made ahead of time in case of an emergency like that.

To tell you the truth, when I reached the municipality of Kawit, I was really afraid of going inside because I was not used to it. It was my first time entering it, and I just asked the guard where the office of the Congressman was. There were signs, and you had to follow them until you reached the office. It’s very long, like a half-circle of the radius of the municipality. The design is circle-like, so the path is on both sides. I loved the structure compared to Tanza as well.

Since it’s Monday, there are not many people who have an appointment. I do not know why, but I don’t have any other students in the office aside from me. perhaps because it is the last day of submission and students have classes as well. There is plenty of staff inside the office, meaning they are prepared for the bulk of students. I am now waiting for the announcement of when to claim the scholarship assistance. I heard that it is around 3,000 pesos. Not bad at all. I can get another pair of black slacks.

I do not know where to spend the money, but I plan to cash in the 2,000 pesos in Gcash and send them to my Binance account. I will trade given the fact that we are still damping and pumping. I'll keep the $1,000 and put it toward school expenses. Actually, I prefer to use black rubber shoes rather than the ordinary black shoes you can buy in the local market and SM superstores. It lasts a long time and is water-resistant as well. I’ve been using my black rubber shoes since my freshman year. You know, I’ve been stuck at home for more than two years. I wish to get more scholarships before I graduate. Lol!

Thanks for the sponsorship.
