Another 1BCH is added to my wallet + buying a laptop soon?
My heart is truly overwhelmed with joy because finally I achieved 1 bitcoin cash again and will be added to my coinsph. The habit I had was to accumulate 1 BCH to my bitcoin.com wallet and after that I will transfer it to coinsph wallet. I just want to make sure if BCH pumps, then I can convert it to our country's fiat immediately. In that way, I can secure it fast.
My goal why I am so persevered to write and be active in the platform is to buy my laptop. I have said this multiple times already, but you know that's still the goal. My monthly budget is tightening everyday. I am just thankful because during election days, I received money from politicians. The money I received is not to buy my vote, but to become a watcher. Volunteer watcher, but paid. How is that possible? Perhaps, that is the way they are telling us to vote for them in a legal way.
As you can see, the current value of bitcoin cash in bitcoin.com wallet as of now is $193.97. I always had this mindset that this is a perfect time to accumulate and be not lazy to publish articles. I think that is my driving force to push myself to come up with a daily topic which you can relate to. Lately, I am struggling to think what's the best theme to write since all of the ideas I listed before are highlighted. Am I having a writer's block? Hmm. I am not at that point yet.
I just wanna say that I have 1.86 BCH in my coinsph wallet and if I add this 1 BCH in my wallet that would be a total of 2.86 BCH. I am truly hoping that BCH price will pump so that I could buy a brand new laptop for myself and for my schooling, of course. The 2.86 BCH if I will convert it to USD, it would be $554.75. In fact, I can actually buy a new one, but the one I like is around $620. I am not picky. I am just considering the specs that are qualified or suitable for programming.
This month, I cannot believe that I could accumulate around half BCH already. This is the fastest and highest BCH count I have had since I started on the platform. Well, it is not surprising because of its price. However, I am still amazed on how I achieve this in a short amount of time. 0.52 BCH is no joke for me. I felt like this is truly a blessing to us all. I know that some of you have already attained 1BCH in less than a month because I can totally feel it. How amazing the opportunity given by this platform to us all.
I am also thinking, after I buy a new laptop, will I be the same person who's very persistent in writing? Will the burning desire to publish everyday still live within me? I cannot answer it because I know there will be huge changes. I may not know that there will be a greater driving force after I achieve my current goal. For we cannot say and certain what tomorrow will bring on the table.
Before I forget to tell you, I am planning to write a novel. This novel will be my greatest achievement in life ***if*** I can finish and publish it to any publishing house. I think that would be awesome. However, I am struggling to develop my characters because I haven't visualized the whole concept including the plots, twists, turns, and cycle of the book. But I am looking forward to what will be the result. Should I pursue it? What do you think?
How light I feel right now whenever I see my digital wallets are not empty. Looking back to the time I haven't met this platform and noise cash. I never have any digital wallets because what money I will cash in? Also, there is no someone who will give me money for free. Actually, I didn't know that this year would be a blessing for me. I am struggling financially as a student because I don't work. Well, how interesting my reasons are why I don't work outside our house. I think that would be reserved for another article.
Extending my gratitude to you all who have been continuing their support by reading, up voting, liking, and commenting to this humble writer of yours. How I wish I can say it to you personally, but one thing is real for sure. The community I found on this platform is awesome. I cannot find any online community as supportive as you. May we all be blessed abundantly by Heavenly Above. Cheers!
Oh my, my gratitude is for you all. Thanks for sponsorship and to those who will renew.

A date with my brother in Robinson mall for a day
It was a hectic day for me last week because I had tumultuous amount of school loads which is detrimental. I submitted 80% of my activities and the remaining 20% is still pending of my Google Classroom. I am working on them one by one. Usually, making an infographic took me two hours to make because of original design. My professor always reminded us to make our own template so that he would not return it to us without a grade.
Then, I was squishing my mind to write an article even though my current state isn't capable. However, I cannot miss to publish an article due to I have an ongoing goal which y'all know - to buy a laptop. The current bitcoin cash is the opportunity given to me to accumulate and hodl until it becomes bull run again. And so, here I am writing an article and letting these tired brain and fingers of mine to type whatever comes in my mind.
As I mentioned before, we brothers are having a get-together every Sunday. So, I want to look back what happened during those days. It was actually taken few months ago when we all are so free to school and work duties. However, this time it was two of us. The elder brother and this writer of yours. Dining with kuya Jan was so fun because he would always pay for all the bills we had eaten. How I wish, he could get a girlfriend already since he's turning 29 years old this year.
I arrived early in Robinson General Trias and waited for him in 15 minutes. He was resident of Dasmariñas, so traveling to Dasmarinas to General Trias took him an hour and half. I'm willing to wait for that is my specialty. Just kidding! When we met together in front of Starbucks, I thought we would drink there. No, we walked away from it since we were quite tight on our budget that day. As we strolled in the first floor, we saw an amazing art gallery collection display.
This was kuya Jan at the center of the gallery. He was so busy looking to every painting because he was also so fond of it. We were both fond of paintings. There was a sticker to every painting which contains name of an artwork, name of the artist, and the price of the artwork. Surprisingly, we cannot afford to buy one since the lowest price was about ₱25,000. Definitely, a no for the both of us. We continued examining and delighting to every piece to the point we asked ourselves to interpret and rate those pieces.
As we walked by through first floor to second floor. We continued to do window shopping until we met our mutual friends. He was kuya Jan's former classmate during high school. She was with her husband and daughter. They laughed together when she found out that kuya Jan is still single and have no wife yet. Well, I cannot blame him since he has this mindset that until he has a new house and lot. He would not court and marry a girl. It's similar mindset I had because I am following the seasons of life.
We already exhausted and found this infiniTea. I know you already tasted some of their products and we ordered two. Before that, we ordered Varda Burger. This burger is so good. The taste of beef was very evident and its juice is overflowing. I actually stain my shirt before I finished the burger. We had a causal talked together. Asking how's my school and how's his work. How we spend time in our family and what we realized for the whole week. Basically, it was a reflection.
Here's your writer drinking the milk tea we ordered. It was really good. I forgot the flavor I chose since it doesn't matter to me. I added a shade effect on the photo because this photo was actually a stolen shot. I didn't know kuya Jan took this since I thought he was browsing something. What I was looking outside is the crying baby. I think the baby wants to breastfeed, but the mother is still looking for the breastfeed room.
After our long talked and we decided to went home because the time is already 6:30pm. He has a long ride and he needs to rest for he has work tomorrow. As you can see, it was darker than usual. I didn't edit this photo. It was actually a bad weather that day. Only few vehicles are passing by which is great. Less traffic in our area. So I went home bringing another good memories together with kuya. I have so much to learn from him since he is my mentor both financially and spiritually. Who's the person you are looking up to and guiding you today?
Thank you all sponsors. So much happy having you all in that sponsors block. *giggle*

Raising Candy: The dog that will never be mine
My love for dogs is great. I don't know the exact reason why my spirit is easily attached to dogs even if it wasn't mine. To raise our pets is to increase our love for animals, whatever it is. It was May of 2020 when my cousin got her first-ever dog which came from her friend. This dog was a mixed breed. It has the breed of Husky and Japanese Spitz. We totally fell in love with this dog and eventually named it Candy.
I still clearly remember the very first day and night of Candy in our house. She was hesitant to come with us and her fear did not easily subside. We don't need to force her to love us back and be closed with her since it's her first day. She was adjusting in her new home far away with her biological mother and siblings. How sad it was. I wonder how a dog really feels when they are forced to remove to their family?
This is the first photo I captured in her first day. Look how scared her face is and the way she approached us in our room. She just bow down her head and moved forward step by step gradually. In her first night, she cried a lot. Like literally a lot that all of us cannot sleep properly because she's crying and barking. I let her enter our room so that she will not cry, or so I thought it's the remedy. However, minutes later, she cried again. It stopped when we give her milk and sleep as if nothing happened.
She was very fond of cold things. Whenever we wake up in the morning, we find her sleeping near the kitchen or inside the bathroom. Soaked and wet. Look at Candy, she was very wet and sleeping comfortably. Sometimes, I thought she was dead or playing dead when I was calling her name. I checked and touched her, but she didn't move even an inch. Truly a best actress, I could say she was.
Here she is, growing up so fast and her puberty hits. I am so afraid, no, we were so afraid when we found that her lower part was bleeding. We thought she was hurt or was bitten by something. But, my older cousin told us that she was having a menstruation. Oh, her very first menstruation was so bloody. She bled a lot. There are always a blood scattered on the floor and she was just playing dumb as if the blood didn't came from her.
What I like about her is height because she was below average compared to husky's height and above average compared to Japanese Spitz's height. I guess her parents' heights are mixed and blended together to create the height she has. Her paws are super smooth and whenever she lays down on the floor or bed, I always touch and massage it. Its smell is way better than my foot smell. Just kidding!
As time went by, her taste in food changed drastically. I bet it is because of how domesticated and spoiled she has been because of my grandma. My grandma let her eat the best snacks, the best food and the best viand available . Couple of months later, whenever the viand suited her taste, she would not eat it. Candy will literally leave it behind and run over to my grandma. Why? It is because she knows that my grandma will buy her the food she wants. Here it comes, the savior of my dear Candy, her favorite grandma. Newly bought and fresh liver from the local market.
We haven't noticed that she would become so big and her age reached the limit of another transition. My grandma is so afraid and always opposes our plan to stud her. We think it's the right time since she was already a year and half old. Her body is definitely prepared for the future pups she will conceive. The day came when we finally won my grandma's heart to let Candy be studded and we chose a mixed breed as well. It was a mixed Husky and Chowchow.
Several weeks later, she birthed four healthy pups. I wasn't there when she gave birth because we already moved to our new home. She was left to my grandma and cousins. They called me in the middle of the night, and I thought something bad had happened. They called me via phone to relay the message that Candy is giving birth at the moment. I watched her via video call until it was finished at 5:30 in the morning. She looked so exhausted after those painful hours in her life.
Currently, her pups were two months old last week. Only three pups left at home because the other one was sent to my older cousin's friend. She promised that she will present her a pup that came from Candy. Lucky those pups because they can enjoy an air-conditioned room at night so that they can sleep comfortably. Quite spoiled, aren't they?
Thank you to all of my sponsors who have been with me since I was new in the platform. I appreciated you all.

First time to order in Shopee after several months + Shopee pay reactivation
I have been attempting to shop online for several months, but I killed and fled from it. My only concern is whether my online shopping items are worth the price and will be usable for me in the long run? I am a very realistic shopper if you don't know. As much as possible, I don't want to buy it if I can provide a substitute for it. However, there are times that I have to shop not for myself, but for my family and pets.
Recently, I wrote an article about why my shopee pay account was locked. My concern was handed to shopee's help center and fortunately, the live agent I talked too was, aside from being pretty, she was kind. After 26 hours of waiting to receive an email from them, I finally got an email containing the reasons and how I can reactivate it again. As I told you, why I cannot change my pin that caused my shopee pay to be locked was because the birthday I wrote in my account and to the ID I submitted was a mismatch.
I didn't notice it at all. So I checked my account and changed the birth year. I replied to their email that I already changed it. I waited for several hours again. Then, finally the reactivation of my account happened. I was so happy because I thought the ₱300 in my shopee pay account would be lost just like that. So. I already ordered my father's cologne and will receive it today.
As for me, you can see in the photo that it is my order. I will receive chexer maintenance pellets for my rabbit tomorrow. I ordered it online since the store I am buying lacks stock. I bought 7 kilos of chexer which I think is good for 2-3 weeks I guess. I bought it with a voucher which only covered the shipping fee.
Next, this is a keyboard and mouse set. I read @kingofreview blog that he was using a computer keyboard and ejected via micro USB to smartphone. It gave me an idea and I ordered too online. The original price went down a bit and I saved a few pennies from it. I think it's actually better if I can write articles through a physical keyboard than my phone's keyboard. As you all know, I am still saving funds for my laptop.
Some of my briefs are quite stretchy now so I decided to add them to cart. It will stay in my cart section for a while because I will buy it during the 6.6 sale. We love sales, aren't we? Thus, bitcoin cash is not moving up so I will definitely not convert now.
I prefer an oversized shirt over the average one. I felt comfortable and cool. I add to cart three oversized shirt from crown's shop on shopee. I bought in their shop before and their clothes are so good. For men who like oversized shirts, I recommend this shop.
At last, this is tissue. Filipinos please don't mind the shop's name. I know it's not so good to hear and read. I will buy 15 boxes of tissues from them because I used tissues a lot. I always wipe my face with tissue, when I have a runny nose, when my hands are wet and also, when I colored my drawings using oil pastel.
The time I haven't read articles about cashing out money from coinsph to shopee pay to gcash. I used to cashout directly from coinsph to gcash which has ₱10 fixed fee. It's quite big because even if you wanted to transfer ₱200, the fee is still ₱10. Then, when I will cashout it again at our local store, it has another fee based on how much you will cashout. But usually, ₱200 only caters ₱5 fee. However, the total amount of fee you will pay is already big.
So, when I read an article about transfering money to coinsph to shopee pay to gcash without fee is a huge help. I forgot who wrote the article because it's been months already since I last read about it. Whoever you are, thank you for that little trick that I can save ₱10 every transfer I made. I already had a few transactions and I am bold to say that it is fast and legit.
Thank you all generous sponsors. You are all deeply and warmly appreciated as always, will always be.

Free movies, series and music available on Telegram bot
Have you ever been annoyed by ads whenever you want to watch movies or series online? It is annoying when they keep popping up out of nowhere. Thus, I wouldn't deny that I was addicted to watching series for free online because I have no money to spend for premium account of any streaming service such as Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime. It's way pricey for a student like me.
Recently, I tried to open and start bots of series and movies available on Telegram. I would say that this bot is so legit. Like, there's no ads that will pop out, or any potential virus that you might click on later on. Also, the music bot I found is so good. I am not premium account in Spotify so I cannot download any music there except if I would listen online. However, not all the time I have data to spare whenever I go out. So, downloading music is the best choice for me to do.
I have tried downloading music online via YouTube music mp4 to mp3. I know some of you already did what I did before. What I noticed is sometimes the conversion took some time and there are annoying ads again. I have experienced that there are numerous of ads popping and that includes pornographic ads. That's all true. So, when you encounter such as those, don't ever click on it because there might a hidden virus or malicious software (malware) encapsulated. Your phone will get uninvited notifications all the time and your computer might get hacked easily.
However, you will never ever experience those annoying ads when you use Telegram bot which is totally free. I tried and proven it to myself so I would like to share it to everyone. I know some of you already knew this bots, but let me allow others to know. This might get handy to you when the time comes so I thought you would be interested.
As you can see, this is the TV series bot available on Telegram. When you are in their network, just click start on the below. It would appear like this.
There is a message will pop out and the availability of choices you might like. There is the series, movies, others and group. You just have to click the series if you want to watch some series.
After I click the series, this will appear in your screen. From 0-9 and A-Z. This means the first letter of the series you want to watch. I clicked the letter T because I want to some series that start in it.
Then, the series started in T will appear again. You have to choose what you want and to set as an example. I chose “The Haunting of Hill House”.
This will appear in your screen. It is the series description and the full episodes. I actually tried to click others and when the series have too many seasons. Seasons will appeared from season 1 to where it ends.
Now, the full episodes are in your screen. What are you waiting for? Watch or download it online. Just click the arrow button which signifies download. You can now enjoy the full episodes without ever appearing of annoying ads.
Aside from TV series and movies bot in Telegram. I have told you that music is also included there. You can listen and download music fast without ever intervening by third party or ads. You have to click this to start. Here it is.
This is the bot I am telling you about. This is VK Music bot which allows you to listen and download music sorted by artist, music and you can also make your own playlist. Just click the start button.
Then a message will pop out below your screen and you can choose there. I chose artist as the start and example for my blog. It's very easy though. Then the bot will ask who's artist is it? Then, I typed Blackpink. Hello blinks?
Ater that, songs of Blackpink will appear in your screen sorted by number. As you can see, there are only 10 music. Yes, only 10 songs per page so you have to click the right button for next page and set of songs.
I clicked 1 and it played the How you like that. This is one of my favorite song from them. It literally hype me and dance with them. Such a good song.
Once the song stated to pay then it means that the song is already done downloading it. It will not automatically went to your music so you have to click that three buttons and choose save to music.
See? The song is already in music player. It was fast and safe. You don't have to go to YouTube for the MP4 and convert it online. It is ads free as well.
I hope I helped you and gain something from this little trick of Telegram for us. We have to use it when it is free and safe. No such thing exist like this on Messenger and Instagram. I admit that I had fun writing this because I know it would help someone out there. You might be the one I am referring too.

Please I want to meet my loving wife
I love her beauty and passion. She was dazzling in my eyes throughout the day. We woke up in a good mood, the sun rays flashing in my eyes because my wife open the curtain wide. It was new for me to see her in this state because in our 6 years of marriage. She didn't wake up as early as I am, so it was very surprising. One thing that I noticed about her is that she talked less recently. I don't have time to discuss it with her due to my work schedule.
She asked me to get up from our bed. Her back was so perfect. Her body form since I met her in the coffee shop is always the same. Her curves, her boldness, her height that even she was back at me, I know how beautiful she is. I ignored her calling over and over. The pillow was covering my ears so that I couldn't hear her voice. I felt something touching my legs. No, the hands are rising finger by finger as if it will excite me. I was about to remove the pillow in my face when she spoke.
**“Don't! Don't remove that pillow babe!”** she uttered in a sexy voice. Oh, damn! I haven't shaved that part recently since we're not both at home these past few weeks. I'm totally not ready for this. I know what will happen next. My heart is racing fast as if I was in the midst of a rollercoaster ride which I don't particularly like in particular. I raised both of my hands in and tucked it at the back of my head. I should be prepared for this.
I felt her hands in my lower legs. She is touching both of my legs and massaging it. I liked it. It raises my libido and desire to see what should happen next. I cannot handle it anymore and I speak. **“Babe, come on! You start it already. I cannot control myself now!”** I said it aloud but in a hot voice. I don't want to break her mood. However, this bad body of mine cannot wait any longer.
**“Babe, calm down! I'll start when I want to, alright?”** she said. I know she is teasing me again. She always does this whenever she is cooking in the kitchen. But, this time it is our fun day. Oh god! I felt it. Her hands are in the strip of my boxer. She had these soft and mild hands that made me want it. I trusted her enough. I knew how good she was at this. I waited and waited. But, nothing is happening. **“What's going on? Why do you stop babe?”.** She didn't respond, but her hand is going up to my abs. Yes, this is it.
I felt her legs in my thigh. I didn't know if she was intentionally rubbing her middle or she was just preparing for something else. The sensation I am feeling right now is incredible. The ground and spark in my abs is directing in my middle. I gulped my saliva and sighed deeply. You will never ever feel this feeling unless you are married. The woman I was with right now is the woman I can offer my life, my soul and my body. So whatever she did to this hot body of mine, I can offer it to her wholeheartedly.
I was about to speak when she uttered something. I didn't hear it clearly because it was very low. My ear adjusted as much as possible so that I could hear her. Then, I felt her hands in my middle. She is touching it softly and so making me hard like a hard steel. I felt her sighed in my abs. It was hot and becoming even hotter. She is now kissing my abs from the lower and to above. Damn girl! I cannot wait anymore. Just please touch it and suck it like you always do.
After her kiss, she touched my chest. It was solid from my 9 years of workout. My discipline in my diet is one of the keys why I achieved this body of mine. Many can see it, but only my wife can touch and kiss it. My middle is still hard from what she is doing to my chest. Her lips touched my nipple and it grounded my whole body. I inhaled deeply and felt the low electricity flowing through my body. This is so good!
She ended her feast to my upper and I felt her body going down. Finally, this is it. Many girls are drooling and wanting it, but only my wife saw and touched it. I don't dare to share this body to others because my wife is more than enough. When I felt her hands in my middle, I knew this was gonna blow my mind. I prepared myself and opened my legs wide for her. She touched the strip of my boxer and gradually lowered it. I heard the sound of my middle slapped to my skin.
When my boxer was off, I knew what's next. I am waiting for her to do it. I am feeling the sensation of my body flowing throughout from my feet to head. Nothing is comparable to any happiness I had in my entire life when my wife is connecting with me. I was waiting for her to do it, but my chest suddenly felt hard. As if my whole body was crumpling like a paper. My two eyes becomes watery. Why I feel sad? No, it should be exciting and intimate.
**“Sir, let's go! Your sister is waiting for you in the car. Please leave the letter on the table. I know it's hard for you since your wife passed away”**. Remember her last word, **“Babe, I love you and I'm sorry for not giving you a child as you desire! But please bear in mind that I will always love you. Seek a new woman who satisfies your needs and will bear your child. I will understand”.** I stood from the chair and kissed the letter with my hot tears.
The end.
Thank you my generous sponsors for staying up there. I am truly grateful for y'all.

Thank you for reading. I will see you next time!
My 38 GB data was gone, where it went?
Internet has a fundamental role in web and technology. It is more likely what the blood and air of the technology nowadays. Without the help of internet, you cannot read this article nor see uploaded in this platform. Basically, internet provides us connection to various world wide webs which allows us to view, edit, and perform activities online.
I had this habit of checking how much data I consumed for the whole month. Although, I didn't load for my data because we're subscribed in PLDT. I still checked my data consumption so that I would know what applications consumed the most. However, you all know that PLDT is quite unstable internet provider, well, I think all of internet providers are.
This is the total gigabytes I consumed in our Wi-Fi this month from April 20 to May 18. I had this new phone last April 20 as you already knew. 38.60 GB is quite large if we think about it. I am quite an abuser when it comes to internet. I browse and research a lot. I want to watch film, series, and movies so that my stress will be ease. Data usage present us our real-time usage of internet and actually the exact data we consumed. Do you wonder what is the application that consumed most of my data? I listed the 8 applications. Well, let's find out.
8**. Twitter**
For this month, I consumed 0.89 GB which is quite big for Twitter. I opened my Twitter account everyday so that I am updated to what's trending online. Also, there are announcements and air drops from Twitter. However, only few air drops are real and true. Mostly, I visited our local news account like GMANews, ABS-CBN News and Inquirer.
7. Google Meet
I am actually surprised that only 0.94 GB is what I consumed fro GMeet because we always have online classes twice or thrice a week. I guess it's true that GMeet consumes small amount of data to our internet which is totally good for us students. Unlike, Zoom which we all know consume a bigger chunk of data. I rarely use that anyway.
6. Tachiyomi
Oh, only few knew this application because it is not available of Google play store. It was actually the application I use to read manga, manhwa and manhua. If you don't know, I'm a big fan of it rather than anime. It is because anime has some parts where they cut it. In my old phone, Tachiyomi consumed at least 16 GB a month. I read a lot back then.
5. Messenger
I used messenger everyday because this is the means of communication in our university. Our professors attached some files or message us with an announcement about something. I don't spend much time in Messenger though. However, I was shocked that it consumed 1.79 GB just like that. Hmm.
4. YouTube
I am not surprised that this application manage to consumed 2.59 GB on my data. It was huge though. I watched some blogs everytime there is an update especially from Alex Gonzaga, Toni Studio, Mimiyuuh, Vice Ganda, and Karen Davila. These are the content creators I loved the most. I totally laugh or smiled while watching their vlogs weekly.
3. Chrome
From 2.59, we have 3.66 GB. Well, I opened chrome everyday because of read cash and noise cash. Also, some research and downloading images. I actually thought that chrome would consume more than that since I opened it like every two hours. I guess crypto-blogging sites are not consuming a lot of data which is good because some of us are only accessing data from load subscription.
2. Google Play Store
A least twice a month, I updated my applications so that I wouldn't miss the new updates especially to those I used everyday. I download quite a lot of games lately so it spikes in that amount of data. 3.84 GB for Google Play Store is quite a lot for me though. Don't you think so?
1. Netflix
From 3.84 GB, the first place to my most consumed data application is none other than Netflix. I'm not actually surpassed since I knew I downloaded a lot of episodes for series and movies. 15.90 GB is so huge. I adjusted my download resolution to standard so that it would not consume more. Even if I total all the GB's of number 8 to 2, Netflix is still bigger than that.
Right now, I'm watching The Originals. I haven't watched this show before because I finished Van Helsing first. And then, a lot of K-dramas released so I left behind it. However, I started watching it last couple of days ago. In fact, I never got bored when the genre is vampire, horror, zombie and apocalypse. I guess in my late life, I was one of them. Just kidding!
Honestly, I'm quite shocked that Spotify and any crypto wallets didn't it make it to my top 8. I guess they don't consume much of data or I didn't opened them everyday? No, I used them everyday especially Spotify and CoinGecko. I listen to Spotify almost every night and whenever I listen to podcasts.
If you don't have anything to write for tomorrow then, I dare you to open your data usage and show us what applications consumed your data the most. Isn't fun looking back and analyzing why I used this application a lot? What's in this application that you can't help yourself from using it? Tag me when you write an article about it so that I would know and visit it.
Thank you so much for all your sponsorships. I truly feel blessed and I appreciated it a lot.

Three child policy for Filipino families + 200 subscribers unlocked
In a family, how many children should a couple have? This is easy to answer, but we may have conflict based on our beliefs, cultures, and origins. Some of you are parents already and you know the struggle of raising a child most especially for mothers. I cannot imagine myself bearing a child inside me which stays for nine months. How painful and irritated I would be.
In 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte announced about the issue of overpopulation. Indeed, if you don't know Philippines break the number of 110 million plus citizens and it is increasing in rapid pace. In the latest data and survey of Philippine National Statistics, during pandemic the percent of birth rate increased so much. Should we be alarmed because of this? In my opinion, the data shows very alarming because of those birth rate, teenage pregnancy became a trend.
However, I would not talk about teenage pregnancy, instead about my opinion for the 2016 three child policy by President Duterte. Actually, it is not a policy, but a suggestion from him. It was not became a policy or law because of churches. You know, churches are so against about birth control and reproduction health law. In the current situation of the average family, they have at least 2-4 children.
In our family, we are five. Of course, my parents, yours truly and my two sisters. When my first sibling was born, I was happy about it. She was the new joy of the family. As if the star's above fell down in our humble home. That's how we treated the newborn baby. We're so excited looking at the baby. Playing, touching the cheeks and even holding the baby in superman pose. We saw babies as stress reliever too.
However, when a family is growing in number and their finances cannot support the whole family. Is it still admirable? You know, I know how hard it is to experience no money at all. We're just two children back then. How much more the pain and suffering of those kids in the poorest family? We saw a lot of stray and street kids begging for money because when they don't beg, there is no food at home. They cannot eat for a day.
Overpopulation has a significant effect especially for kids. Can you imagine how hard it is for children to bear their hunger for skipping meals because there's no food at the table. Children is the one to suffer while parents are enjoying their time in their addictions. We cannot deny that most of the family who has at least 4-10 children came from the poorest family. It is very evident in some places in Manila and squatter areas. How I wish condoms and contraceptives is no longer issue in our country.
I just wanna say that if you guys plan to have children. Just make enough children you know that you can feed and raise properly. Your love is not sufficient to raise, to grow and to support the family. We all know and aware how much the inflation increases during pandemic. Thus, it is still increasing while many of us still unemployed and the basic salary is not increasing. Poor us! Such suffering and pain for children to experience.
Yesterday, I saw my account reached 200 subscribers and I am so delighted. To reach this number is a huge achievement for me. Y'all know that we always started zero. Zero subscribers, zero likers, zero commenters, zero upvotes and zero views. But as the day goes on, everything will rise and rise until we unlocked something. And then, we will write an article about it and published here so that we can thank everyone.
I am truly grateful for everyone who believed and subscribed in my account. Although, I may not be a good writer, y'all still there reading and leaving something for me. Only ten days left and I will also celebrating 4 months in this platform. Gosh! I did not know how much I grew in writing and expanding my knowledge reading articles everyday. Do you know who's my first ever subscriber? It is none other than my friend @OfficialGamboaLikeUs Thank you pre! She's actually busy in her work and having trouble in her internet connection that's why she is quite inactive in the platform.
Thank you so much generous sponsors. Will not be tired thanking you all. Such providence for me!

We finally had dry run for our incoming talk show
I was actually so busy today that I found it difficult to be active online. I had tumultuous amount of school loads which many deadlines are today. It was my fault for not finishing all of them since I was busy staying and accumulating bitcoin cash in read cash and noise cash. I just wanted to accumulate more since the bitcoin cash is low.
As what I have said before, I am hosting talkshow for our section's event. It was assessment for my professor and she chose our section because we were so active in her class. She was so light hearted and I felt no awkwardness towards her. She was very approachable. She was my friend on Facebook and I saw her tiktok videos on my day. She was very interactive to students which is good. She let us speak freely without borders. She accept our answer and sometimes correct us in a right manner.
I was not actually prepared for the dry run because my partner in hosting had an illness few days ago. Meaning, he was still recovering. We talked about how we will attack on our conversation for hosting and how is our timing. Unfortunately, beyond those things we haven't rehearse most especially for questions we will to our guests. I felt so nervous awhile ago. Also, I'm so scared that my internet will become slow due to strong rain I was experiencing. Thankfully, it became consistent and I delivered what I should delivered.
There were moments that we just looked each other on the screen because we didn't know what to say next. But, whenever that happened, our professor will say something so that it would save us in that particular span of time. We threw questions to our guests. We sent a set of questions beforehand so they knew how they will answer it. I was so glad that they all practice their character and even do some adlibs.
This hosting is about Noli Me Tangere. The novel was written by our National hero Jose P. Rizal. Do you know his full name? Hmm. That's quite long, isn't it? I'm not here to question and let your heads be filled with curiosities. Alright, the casts in our talkshow will portray characters in the novel. For example, Leo will portray as Crisostomo Ibarra, Alex will portray Padre Damaso and Sunny will portray Maria Clara. Meaning, we will just interview them as if they are the real characters in the novel.
What's the whole purpose why we had this talkshow? Noli Me Tangere is boring novel. I admitted that even though I heard and learned about the novel when I was in high school. But, I never ever understood the flow of the story. What my professor wanted is to transpose the novel into talkshow. This is a new approach so that we could understand the novel fast and easily without actually reading the whole context. I am really interested and amazed on how my professor in Rizal's course let us understand each novel in the manner where we can also enjoy.
I wouldn't summarize the novel since it would consume your lovely time. In addition, my head is aching because of non-stop reading, speaking and writing since 5 o'clock in the morning. I am writing this with the intent of sharing how's my day. Actually, my body is telling me to stop writing today and rest. However, my innermost desire is telling me to write and earn. Yeah, that's true. I will not deny it. Before I started to write this blog, I actually make an infographics which is not so pretty.
As you can see, this is the infographics I was talking about. It was about Economic Systems and its types. There are four types such as traditional, command, market and mixed. I believe that our country, Philippines is in the mixed economic system since there are still existing traditional system in some provinces especially to our native tribes. Thus, there are companies who let the consumer be satisfied because they are consumer-based. All their products will be produced according to what their consumer wants.
It is Monday and I felt like it is already Friday. Normally, my Monday is chill and relax because we're asynchronous class. However, today is quite different. The weather is changing, really. Supposedly, it is still summer and we're enjoying the beach and resort. However, we're experiencing heavy rain for the past few weeks. I wonder if it's the start of rainy season. What's your Monday like today?
Thank you so much my all generous friends and sponsors for staying up there in my sponsor block. Y'all are blessing to me.

My first time to experience - my shopee pay account was locked today
It was not my first time to order online shopping application particularly in shopee. We love shopee because of its discounts, vouchers, and cashbacks. However, all of my mode of payments are done through cash-on-delivery. I do do not prefer and will not use Shopee pay or any bank account to pay. It's so risky although the shop has good reviews and reputation.
Recently, my aunt bought me a new phone which I already made an article. I wasn't able to download shopee since I will not order anything. But, I was tempted to download today and make a new account. I made an account and I used my father's name. He agreed on it since he asked me to order him a new cologne because his colognes will only last for few weeks.
It went smooth. I successfully made account for him in my phone. I set all the information needed and I want to be verified in shopee account. It was easier since my father has driver's license. Within 5 minutes, it was successfully verified. I was so happy and I immediately cash-in money from my coinsph account. It was not a hassle. The money reflected as I went back to shopee pay.
I was about to purchase the ₱20 load which I will only pay for ₱1. I knew all the shopee users knew and purchased it already. When I was about to pay for it, the pin appeared. Like, I remembered that I used the 555555 pin. I retype it on the box, but it says that the pin was wrong. Hmm. I tried again, and it appeared that I only have 4 attempts and my shopee pay account will be locked.
I went to help center on how to reset the pin. I read the article and followed it. I went to shopee pay section and select the pin reset. When I clicked the pin reset, it says that there is a security measure. I didn't screenshot it and I also forgot. I tried over and over again. I was pissed off because I can't reset and I knew the pin I type is correct. I didn't noticed that I already reached 5 attempts and boom! The account is locked.
As you can see, this is the message appeared awhile ago. I was totally mad and shopee can't even let me reset the pin. So, I clicked the Contact Customer Service and there is a number appeared. It was a hotline. I clicked and called it but I remember that I don't have a load. I called again just testing if it works now, but it failed.
I went back to the shopee application and this time I want to contact the live chat. Since, live support agent is better than calling because I don't have a choice. My only choice is to have a conversation with them, whoever it is. To my surprise, a bot appeared and I thought it was the live support agent. I was not thinking right because my mind is so cloudy. I cash in ₱300 and it is a huge amount for me. I didn't tell my father that I was having trouble in shopee. He will be mad at me, for sure.
This is the live agent I found. She named Zon. The first time I saw her I had a good impression that this woman will be a great help. Well, let's see how she responded to my concern and what her advices for me. I truly hope she will clear my anger.
We continued to chat over and over. I sent her the photo which stated my account is locked. She asked me why and what happened. I told her the whole story and how I ended up locking my account. She asked me to fill up the details in the photo. Well, I type and sent it fast. The time she used po, I know she's a good live agent.
This time she told me that my concern is beyond her work. So, she asked me to wait for a little while. Zon chatted the team handling the shopeePay account locked problems. She's always telling not to worry and be patient. As if she's calming the customer which is good.
After our long conversation about my concerns. We finally ended our conversation with very assuring words from her. She's nice and I fell for her. Charr! Just kidding! I'm not easy to fall, eh? Anyways, I am waiting for the email they will send in my father's account. Hmm. I just hope that my father will wait at least 24-48 hours after I fixed it. Gosh, I was really worried that my ₱300 will be lost just like that.
I was shocked that she spoke to me in Filipino. Well, it's not new since she knew that the photo there is old. She would have thought it was a good idea to message in Filipino. I rated our conversation nicely. Zon helped me a lot for my concerns. However, I am not still satisfied until my shopee pay account is unlocked. I am so curious why I cannot reset my pin. I didn't do anything wrong as far as I remember.
I just want you to know that setting up an account online is dangerous most especially if money is involved. However, I knew you all are good keeping your money safe, right? It's a good for me to experience this kind of thing because it will test my patience. Have you ever experienced to have trouble in shopee pay or any digital wallet out there?
Thank you so much lovely and generous sponsors. I hope y'all stay with me until where it ends. Let's cheers!

Cell leaders camp blew my heart away
It has been three years since I experienced the cell leaders camp in our church. Every year during summer, our church will arrange an event to gather all the cell leaders from every tribe. We have 24 tribes in total which includes 12 from men and another 12 tribes from women. If you didn't know, our church is affiliated to Government of 12 or G12 system. It wasa system developed by Pastor Cesar Castellano from Columbia. Basically, it follows the 12 disciple Jesus had back then.
When our church announced the day of the cell leaders camp on 2019. I was excited and looking forward for it. There are many things to prepare because there are vigorous activities that needs physical and mental strength. Of course, you have to be spiritual, mental, psychological, and physical prepared for the event. I had my first cell leaders camp on 2018 and I could say that I had missed several activities because my body cannot perform all the activities.
My physical preparation was to increase my stamina and cardiovascular system because that's what I am weak to. I had few pushups, sit-ups, jumping jocks, and jogging everyday. Well, to be physically prepared is what I lacked from the previous one because I thought that my current state was enough. Unfortunately, to handle all the physical activities are quite difficult. It was the first day when my body tally collapsed. Like collapsed.
It was not hard for me to be spiritually healthy because I knew to myself how much growth I had in terms of my relationship with Him. He was my guide to all these years until now. Spiritually prepared will allows you to become ready to receive His Spirit and enter His presence completely. I know some of you are not Christian, but we all know how happy we are when we had time to talk to our Lord. Definitely, during those days I never thought that I could achieved the prayer and fasting without cheating.
In this photo was the first activity we had. There are two groups competing to each other. The mechanics is very simple. Two groups will all lay down on the ground and there will be a supervisor who will give a ball to each side. The first group will throw a ball to other group. When the ball hits someone from the other group, it adds to their point. So basically, you have to hit someone from other group so that your team will gain points. Each group has 20 balls and the more points you earn, then highly your group will win.
I had no photo of mine during the most extreme game I ever played. It was two groups again competing to each other. They will form like a caterpillar, then the Head will throw a ball to other group. Once you hit someone from them they will be out. There are 8 members per group and the group who lost 3 members will lose. So the group's life and position will be based on Head's ability to shield his Body which is his members. I remembered that I was on the last member so the force was always on me. There are one moments when I really went flying several seconds because the sudden shift of position was not I expected.
The crowd will cheer loudly until the one group was out. It was very hard game for me since it was balance, control, flexibility and endurance. Fortunately, we won at the very end. It was a tough game because boy's power to throw will surely hurt and the force was very hard. You know how much a body can do when you try to move your body sideways simultaneously. I truly missed this kind of event. It was extreme, but friendly as the same time.
It was a three days event. So, every night before we sleep, there will be a worship night. What I loved during this worship night is the big bonfire in the middle. The weather was windy and cold. The bonfire's warm as if the Holy Spirit was coating us. It was surely an unforgettable experiences which I always looking forward until today. I wish that the virus will be contained and never ever came back in our beloved country.
Thank you so much kindest sponsors. Y'all are appreciated most especially your penny for me. Cheers!

Friday the 13th made my day horrible
There is belief that Friday the 13th is a bad day. It was a belief that passed down in Western superstition. This belief was still existing until now. Although it was came from Western countries, yet in the Philippines, it is very much alive. I, myself also believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, not for me but for everyone. It's very scary if something really bad happened in particular area of your life.
Have you ever watched the Friday the 13th film series? The first movie it was ever released was on 1980 and the last film was released on 2009. I haven't watched all the film series, but I still remember the the last three parts where Freddy and Jason fought each other to death. That was very exciting part for me because they are both antagonist in the film. Gosh, I cannot imagine if Texas Chainsaw vs Freddy vs Jason. I wonder who will win from the three?
As to what my title suggest, I had few experiences during Friday the 13th. One of them was when I was in high school. We were walking down on the road with my cousins because the whole group decided to walk. We were talking about how our exam went and if we are confident to pass all of it. Well, as we started to share our experiences. The topic was switched to our horror experiences alone. I was so focused on listening that I didn't noticed that the canal was opened.
I slipped and went through the hole. The canal was around 4 feet tall and there are water stocked in it. The black water with smelly and oil stained my shoes, pants and uniform. My cousins laughed at me because of what happened. Although they laughed, I noticed their worries because other students are taking photo. I cannot enter the ordinary bus because I'm so much smelly. The passengers might throw me and the driver will get mad because there are water leaking from my shoes.
We hired a tricycle for the reason that we have to get home as fast as possible. I had few scratches on my arms and legs because of what happened. They are worried that my scratches get infection because of so many dirt. We are not sure if the water also contained rat's urine and other feces. Luckily, one of the drivers accepted our offer and went straight to home. I still remembered clearly my mother and grandma's face back then.
They thought I was hit by a truck or something. I immediately put off my uniforms and ran to our bathroom. I washed myself three times because the smell doesn't leave my skin yet. I used safeguard, silka papaya and my sister's Johnson baby liquid soap. Can you imagine how horrible it was? Perhaps, it was also my fault for not looking closely on the road. I guess if only not I pay attention listening to their horror stories, then I wouldn't experience it myself.
As to what I told you earlier that some students took photo of me during that day. There are few photos circulating in our group chat in the next day. They were asking me what happened because rumors had it said that I was pushed by my cousins in the hole. Gosh! Truly rumors always had this fabricated story and part. I messaged them that I was accidentally slipped through the hole because I didn't noticed it. They relay the message to other group messages.
I didn't mind walking on the school ground while I was the apple of their eyes. I'm not neither ashamed nor felt self-pity to what happened because it was purely accidental. Few of my teachers also received the news. They are worried because the rumor was spreading fast like a wildfire. The same day, I clarified that I was not pushed by my cousin. I retold the story to all of them so that the rumor stop at least.
The rumor stayed for around three days and it started to disappear when we have an event in the school. The focus switched to our incoming foundation day. I didn't feel humiliated or hated because I knew what happened and I even explained myself. Whether they believed me or not, it was not my problem at all. The most important thing I knew is that Friday the 13th is a horrible day when your beliefs started to coat your reasoning. The final question is, do you have bad experiences during the Friday the 13th?
A warm appreciation to all of my sponsors who have been with me since my first day. I appreciated every cents you gave to me.

Thank you for reading. I'll see you next time!
Vacant time in the university, where to go?
Every time we got our subject schedule, we always checked if we have vacant or not. Vacant time means it will allow us to spend time to do unfinished tasks or activities which usually happen. We cannot finished all the activities since our schedule ends at 6:15 pm. Basically, I had to travel from Rosario to Tanza. What I always hate about traveling to school and back to home is the traffic.
The traffic in Tejero and Tanza is seemingly unending. Most especially when the time hits 5:30-6:30 pm because that's the usual time of PEZA's employees in and out. PEZA has an estimated total employees of more than 1.6 million employees. Can you imagine if ¼ of this total amount was coming in and out? Basically, heavy traffic will happen. However, I am totally immune in our traffic, yet when the traffic seems don't move. That makes me irritated and get off the bus, then walk.
When everything seems fine and Covid-19 doesn't exist, I enjoyed staying in the campus most specifically to library because it is air-conditioned room. There are a lot of things to read and you all know that I love books a lot. Reading books enhance my knowledge and my vocabulary. Whenever I encountered new word, I felt this urge to search and try to use it in a sentence because in that way. I can remember it for long. I don't know if you feel the same thing, I guess we're really different to each other.
Vacant time is one of my favourite to our schedule. It varies depend on the semester's schedule and professor's availability. Sometimes what adds more in the vacant time is when the professor had an emergency, seminar or meeting in their faculty. A lot of reasons, but only one reason remain that makes us happy. It's time to go out campus and enjoy the span of free time we have.
It was my photo before we hop inside the tricycle. I think, I was a first year student in that photo. If you don't know, our university is near Robinson General Trias so, that's the usual place of every CvSU students. There are a lot of things to do in Robinson and one of those things is to play in Tom's world. We often play, but we use the karaoke room. We will sing and dance. The main purpose is to kill time and at the same time to shake off the stress.
Robinson has free internet access so we can use the 1 hour free access to make a research whenever we have pending activity. Sometimes, I download podcast from Spotify and listen. We sat down at the ground. There is a huge stone there, it's like a stone from Bingo, the shiny one. But, just make it bigger like 1 ½ meter wide. When the time is near, we will prepare ourselves to walk. Well, going back to university took us around 15 minutes by walk. Then, 5 minutes if we use tricycle, but we rarely do that.
Another spot I love is the abandoned storage room in the end of the university. Although it was abandoned, but it was okay to stay. There are chairs, tables and even sofa but, all of them are damaged. As you can see in the photo, it was me sitting in the old chair. The place is windy and covered by several tall mango trees. Sometimes, when we want stay in that place, we cannot because there are already students occupied the place.
Sometimes, my classmates invited us to eat lunch in their house. It only happened when we have a 3 hours vacant. Traveling in their houses took us 30 minutes so the total hour is one. The remaining two hours will be spent eating and playing online games in his computer and phones. I don't play online games, but I watched anime a lot. Thankfully, their Wi-Fi subscription was fast enough to handle seven devices at the same time.
Every time we went off from the campus, we always asked everybody if they have enough budget because sometimes we didn't know that his allowance is enough for his food and transportation fare. So, if someone in the group didn't have any budget, then we all share together to raise enough money for him. I think I was treated several times by my friends because there are times when I really have a tight budget. Like really tight.
How I miss those days when vacant time is what we are looking forward every week. Those times when even though we are facing difficulties in our subjects, but when we join altogether. We can face and overcome it. What's the best place in your school or university to stay during vacant time? Do you miss your buddies too?
Thanks everyone for staying in that sponsor block. I am grateful because you still renew it every month. I really appreciated it a lot.

This is how brothers date looks like
Looking back to my old life, I can say that I was so much free to do anything whenever the day was Sunday. It was my usual free time to go to church and have a date with my brothers. I am so touched and happy to have a quality time with them. I felt like I can open up any topic because I am comfortable and secure having them with me. We are all boys so that's already given.
When I was in senior high school, my kuya Jan always invited me to go somewhere else to eat. Of course, I wouldn't dare to decline his invitation since it was my time to travel afar as well. Usually, our dates happened on Sunday with my other brothers too. You know the joy I felt walking down the street laughing and joking around. Although, sometimes the joke was not funny, but it would still become hilarious. I guess that is how boys support each other.
My usual lifestyle every Sunday was to wake up early in the morning like around 6 o'clock and then eat my breakfast. I would take shower, clothe myself and said my goodbye to my family. Since, I was the only one who converted into born again Christian. They are all still Roman Catholic. I would wait for an aircon bus to come because they are much faster than the ordinary bus. Time is very important and I value my time so much.
It was around 7:15 o'clock when I hopped the bus. I would travel at least an hour and a half to reach Imus. If you wonder, I lived in Tanza. Then, the distance between my place to Robinson Imus is 19 kilometeres. The travel will consume 46 minutes if you have a car. But if you take public transportation, then it will consume 1 hour and 30 minutes. Traffic makes it worse. However, since I travel early in the morning there are not much traffic in the route I will take.
I would like you to meet my brother, my spiritual leader, my father-like figure and my guide for several years today. I met kuya Jan in our church and he was one of the people who approached me first. He was very smart and skilled in terms of socialization. I guess, that's his unique trait given by the Lord. As what I said earlier, he was the one who invited us to go out for dates and get-together.
Our usual place is Coffee Project, Starbucks, Chicken wings restaurant and KFC. Although it was quite pricey in Coffee Project and Starbucks, but I didn't pay any cents so that was totally okay for me. Who would decline if you get a chance to dine in these two right? I'm not choosy as well. Many times, he told me that if you would like to have a good life always start to Jesus. All your plans should be aligned with Him, and not your will to prevail.
How I miss those days when we had dates. Since pandemic happened, we rarely saw each other and of course church was closed back then. Worship and mass gathering was not allowed. However, I am very thankful today that everything was being lifted up and we can eat dine in to our favourite restaurants. This meal was ordered in Imus, Cavite. I forgot where it was because it's been a long time since I went there.
It was nachos with cheese, rice and chicken wings and our shakes. I think for one order, it would toll you around ₱120-₱140. The shake is not included of course. What I loved in this restaurant is that their staff was very accommodating. They would approached you right away and smile in the whole time. I truly missed this kind of Sunday dates.
So, this was me with my brother, Yanyan. The photo was taken after my class in Krispy Kreme. He was a close friend of mine since 11th grade. What I like about him is he was very jolly person. He would always make the whole group smile and laugh in his joke. But, there are times that he was struggling in his family because of his parents strictness. Like, my first time I visited their home, I was surprised when his parents shouted at me because I held the remote control. Yanyan asked me to bring him the remote since I was the one near in the television.
This is another set of chicken wings in wing bites Imus. I love this restaurant because of their sauces. They have plenty of sauces available and each of them is good. Are you drooling right now? Well, I was drooling too. What I hate about my stomach is that I got easily full. Even though I wanted to eat more, but my stomach didn't allowed me to. It was like there's a limit meter on how much I would consume for every meal.
Recently, I talked to my kuya Jan about our incoming plans. Well, we would meet up in SM Bacoor this weekend. The time is not confirmed yet because he might have an emergency thing to do. I am just so excited to see them and have a date with them again. You know, brotherhood made me realize how important company of others and you can depend on them as well, aside from food eating. Brotherhood taught me to become the best man I could ever be so that when the right time comes. I am ready to claim my girl.
Thank you generous sponsors. Neverending appreciation to all of you. Also, thanks for sponsorship renewal @Jijisaur I really appreciated it.

Camping inside the university after party
I had this urge within myself to go out and party with my friends. It was so cool to dance, drink and laugh all night while in the party. Every party has its celebration which makes everyone wear something connected in the theme. I miss those days which our university offered Feb-Ibig night. This event is usually happened after Valentine's day. Just for the sake of meeting new friends, new company and if possible, new love life as well.
I still remembered clearly those days when I had to prepared my clothing for the party. Everyone was so busy canvassing the amount of money they will spend for their outfit. Since, every Feb-Ibig night has a theme. The last theme I attended was the 90's retro. I love 90's outfit. Of course, I researched every possible outfit that would fit in my preference and body type. I wouldn't dare to fix myself with unbearable and unpleasant outfit which I eventually regret during the party. It's once a year so everyone is so addicted to it.
If you are thinking that I bought my clothes in brand names, no. I will definitely not buy such branded items for only one night. Although as much as I wanted to make myself presentable and pleasing. What other thinks about this event is becoming the best outfit of the night. Of course, there will be a prize for that so I think it would be nice to get the prize for the exchange of the receipt of your clothes. It's as if the prize you get is the one will cover the expenses you had for your clothes.
I was so amused buying in ukay-ukay store because of the cheap prices. In Imus, you can buy as low as ₱20 which was so worth it. I had an eye in this particular ukay-ukay store because they always offered ₱20 for all items. Can you imagine how many items you can buy if you have at least ₱200-₱500. For you to know, I always went there every Sunday after Sunday worship. I only have ₱100 to spend per week. Basically, I had 5 new items per week and my mother is complaining that our hanger is decreasing.
It was not surprising when I had this tumultuous number of polos, jeans, jackets, shorts and even shirts at my drawer and dresser. Well, if you are wondering if I wear them all? Yes. Since, we have wash day in our university everyday Wednesday. Then, I had the chance to wear them and flex them. Who would know that all the clothes I wore was bought from ukay-ukay? Besides, they don't care what you wear because what's important is that you don't wear university uniform. It would be so embarrassing if you forgot it. You will be instantly an apple of the eye for everyone.
This is what I wore in the last event I attended in our Feb-Ibig night. I don't even know what kind of outfit it was. I wore lose pants, lose shirts and jacket. The color combination wasn't that good, but I liked it. I like how it matched and the overall appearance I had. Even though I failed to get the outfit of the night, but I enjoyed the event. It was so fun and the drinks are mixed with alcohol, but just a little amount.
I met students higher than my level. They were taking education and engineering. She tapped my shoulder and sign to dance with her. My friends let me go and pushed me in front of the girl. We held hands and danced. It was party so it was not surprising if someone will hug you or dance with you. No kissing is allowed though. A very no for me as well. No one has ever taken this lip of mine except family, of course.
This is the photo we had taken back then. As you can see, I was at the right side. I look so tall in the photo which I don't think I am. I am only 5'8 in height and 60 kilos in weight. A totally normal BMI. These people are my friends at university. But, only 7 is what I considered best friend. They accompanied me in my highs and lows. They will judged you genuinely without ever faking it which I loved.
It was 1 o'clock in the morning when the music stops. It means most of the students are tired and wanted to rest. We lay down outside the event hall and played music. The professor allowed us to set up a little bonfire in the respective places. Of course, we are very careful because we might set the university on fire. We sat in circle form and talked about our dreams and plans in the future. If we are really decided to pursue our course or not? It was heartwarming conversation with my friends. It happened rarely so when the time comes, we really abused it.
The time was ticking and it hit 5 o'clock. We were only allowed to stay in the university until 5:30 so we went home. I was so tired and my energies are drained. I never had any experience so fun aside Feb-Ibig night. That's why I am looking for a forward to have a face to face classes so that it would return next year. I am sure that many will join especially those graduating students like me. It is a party with good purpose and exert all the negativities you have at university.
Thank you dear sponsors for staying in my sponsor block until now. Super appreciated all of you.

Tap the water and see where it ends
It was a great day to spend time with your family as we started to vote. My mother woke me up at 5 o'clock in the morning because we have to be early. Since we will travel to Kawit, and it is quite far from our city, thus traffic is inevitable. So, the best choice is to travel early to avoid heavy traffic. If you don't know, there are four to five heavy traffic areas before we reached Kawit. Can you imagine that?
I was still sleepy and my face was like a mess. I wasn't able to eat my breakfast meal in our house because my tummy didn't wanted me to. I ate it while we were traveling in the bus. I was the last one who took a shower because I was always the one who spent more time in the bathroom. You know, boy's things. Just kidding! Don't think about it too much.
I forgot to trim my mustache because they are already calling me from the bathroom. My father is quite an impatient guy so I have to hurry. I quickly get out and put clothes on me. When we reached Kawit, I was so excited to visit my precinct because you know, I'm a first time voter. However, something happened before I get inside. The voting counting machine (VCM) is not working properly or should I say not working anymore. We waited for about two hours and still it doesn't fixed.
They called it to the COMELEC and to people who is in charge in that area. They responded so slow like a turtle. I felt like they did it on purpose. Actually, the precinct I was listed has the highest number of voters. Hmm. Something fishy isn't it? I wonder, they tested the VCM several times before the actual election day and it didn't work. Is it a pure coincidence or they did something on the machine. We went back home because my legs are cramping and I was hungry too.
The people in our precinct started going home as well because they told us that the voting counting machine will delivered after 2 and half hours. So, if you would wait there in such a long time. I think you would be hungry and really have no choice but to go home and come back after everything is sorted. So, I was quite late to vote because of that incident. What I am sad of is that I woke up so early just to vote, but that incident happened.
Anyways, if you remember my previous article. I wrote about being a watcher in this election, however there's some major changes happened in the line up. I was replaced by the coordinator and my aunt replaced me which is totally okay. Why? Because before they replaced me I already received the cash. That's why it was totally fine to me whether they replaced me or not as long as the money is in my hands. *smirked*
Are you curious why my title is like that? Well, I don't know why either. It popped out in my head and I just wrote it here. I didn't wanted to change it so I guess tap the water means testing the water and see what it feels like. It's like you will not know if the water is hot, cold and lukewarm when you didn't tap it. So, I would like to relate it on this election. There are new politicians running in the position and I did some background check.
Well, I would say their backgrounds are pretty impressive. Especially in our municipality in Kawit. There are new and old faces. I was so impressed whenever I saw their academic background and their achievements in their own field. You know, to have that kind of achievements will be used for their platform. If you don't know, Kawit has attracted so many businessmen and investors that's why their collective tax is so high. There are new projects like Ayala which is so big. I am not sure how big it is. I guess around 30-50 hectares wide.
I just wanted to say that whoever you voted today will make an impact in our country. There is no perfect and righteous politician. We all know that fact. Do not expect that after the election our country will be great and their promises will be realized. After all, what matters the most is that you vote according to your preference and belief. You may only have one vote, but that vote could determine the fate of this nation, our beloved Philippines.
In the next following days, we will know who's leading and winning. I hope there will be no cheating and manipulation in counting the votes because you know what will happen next. Politicians and supporters will retaliate over and over again. Just a clean, smooth and peaceful election and counting is all I wish for this country. May the Lord bless us with good and responsible leaders for I think it's time to have changes. The change that we all hope for and set new things for the people.
Thank you so much for staying in my sponsor block everyone. Also, thanks kuys @Jher0122 for sponsorship renewal. I appreciated it a lot.

Let me guess! I know some of you already had plan for a vacation this summer. Or perhaps you already had gone there for days and weeks. If you don't know, for non-Filipino readers of mine. Philippines is very gifted in terms of beautiful and breathtaking islands and resorts. Most especially in mimaropa region. Palawan is one of the best island in the Philippines and we ate very proud of it. Such crystal clear water and home of many sea species which can only be found there.
It was last 2018 when I met this guy. He was friendly and approachable. Actually, I met him in Facebook group because we are in writer's group or something. I forgot the exact details. He was teaching how to make books, the contents, writing formats, grammar, style, and any technical thing in writing a book. So I approached him and messaged him on private. Unexpectedly, he response back immediately. I thought he will snob me because we're totally strangers.
I remember that the first thing I ask is are you a Filipino? Why this question? It was because I don't want to talk with him in English. I am not proud of my English literacy back then. So, he response back after 20 minutes or so, and he said he is half-Filipino. Although he is half-Filipino, he can only speak few sentences. In short, I have to talk to him in English. At first, I was shy replying because of my grammar. I might disappoint him or I might received a bad feedback, but he didn't do it.
We talked about his upcoming book. It will be released for few years. It was currently editing and proof-reading. The book cover was also being designed during those days. He was funny and friendly. When he knew I was a Filipino, I think he became more friendly to me. That's the start of our brotherhood. We became friends, and talked about books, spiritual, and life lessons. I like his humor whenever he told me a joke or riddles. It sucks when I cannot answer his riddles which is too hard for my brain.
However, there is a problem we faced. We cannot talked on messenger for long because of the time zone. He was living in Samoa Island in America, while I was here in the Philippines. They are 19 hours left behind so if it's Sunday today, then in Samoa it is still Saturday. We talked on voice call actually. We rarely talked via text because he was quite lazy. It actually had an advantage for me because I was able to talked in English fluently. Ehe!
This is the book he wrote and was published last year. I read this few months ago and it was so good. It was apocalypse zombie genre so if you are a fan of zombie, horror, survival type of book then this is yours. I was so proud of kuya because he finally achieved his goal. To write and published his own book. It is available on Amazon if you would like to purchase it.
One of my biggest dreams is to publish my own book as well. I don't know when will it happen, but I have few chapters already on my documents. It's survival and mystery type of book. I started writing this way back October 2021. It was after I survived on having covid-19 virus. Aside from book topic, he was constantly sharing the view and spot in front of his house.
Can you look at that? Isn't amazing? To wake up in the morning had this view in your window is just magnificent. The sunrise and sunset are always perfect in this spot. The water is clear, the rock formations are good, the wind is calm and the sand is cream. He was always teasing me about his place. He invited me several times already but unfortunately I had no budget to go a trip in Samoa.
He told me that he woke up early in the morning to pray while sun is rising. He felt so refreshed and connected to the Lord. If I were him, I would do the same thing he did. It's like it's a perfect place to pray, do yoga, picnic, bonfire and camping. As if you can do everything in that place. I was so envy whenever we had a video call and then, he will let me see the sunset. It was actually mesmerizing
Today, we didn't talked much because he's very busy in his job at the bank. He was currently at the office in the bank checking money flows and everything. But, when we had time to talk to each other it will last for hours because we tell so many stories and how that particular story affects my life. He is a good brother. He is a good friend. He is a good writer. Most of the things I learned about writing, he has definitely a huge portion of it. I haven't had a chance to thank him personally because we're so far to each other. However, I always told him that I appreciated his teachings and lessons. So, thank you kuya!
Thanks so much friends for staying in that sponsor block. Also, thanks for sponsorship renewal bro @kli4d You are the best!

It was because of clams that my lola had mild stroke
This summer everyone loved to enjoy to go visit various beaches, resorts and pools to ease the heat. We sometimes used the phrase “beat the heat” and it was common to all of us. On the other hand, there are food that is seasonal and only suitable every summer. Well, I know we love Halo-Halo. A refreshment made of mixed fruits and crashed ice with milk. Who doesn't love it anyway?
Last couple of years ago, we are enjoying in the beach with my family. It was an outing and at the same time, a family reunion. I remembered we occupied 19 tents in that particular resort because we're too many. The day started with fun and a lot of stress because of food preparation. We were in rushed actually. It was because the one who supposedly go to the market to buy ingredients fell asleep so deeply and didn't heard his alarm clock.
So, when we brought back all the ingredients in our house. We have to chopped, prepared and cooked all of them within 2 hours. My lolo got mad. He told us why my cousin was tasked to go to the market instead our aunties. Well, my cousin insisted to do so and everyone doesn't want to go as well. So we had no choice but to give it to him which is a big mistake.
We were at the beach and everyone was coming every several minutes. As usual, we swam and ate delicious food. We did boodle fight, playing volleyball, touch ball, and bonfire as well. Little did we know that, there will be a horrible incident happened later on. I was still sleeping and didn't know what's going on in our house. When I woke up at eight in the morning because my body was so heavy and tired because of yesterday's event.
My sister told me that our lola was in the hospital. I got curious and my chest was like crumpled that moment. I asked her why and she told me that lola got dizzy and fell in the floor. Fortunately, she didn't hit the floor because my father saw her that time. In that moment, I felt I was crashing by strong current and earth ate me because I cannot move at all. My mind was thinking about my lola if she was okay. I cannot do anything because that time we're not allowed to go outside.
Do you still remember those days during the first and second lockdown? In our municipality, we have to own a trespass ID which certifies that we are good and allowed to go out. But that time, I didn't have one. Our family's trespass ID was named to my father and mother since they are working outside. Even though I wanted to visit my lola, but we cannot. I cannot contact my father because his phone was left at home. They had no phone so we basically have no communication and news what happened there.
It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon when my father went home. Yes, we're ready to whatever happened. He told us that our lola got stroke because of high heat and clams she ate yesterday. Her stroke is mild, but she cannot move half side of her body. I think it was the left side. He body was like shutdown, and she cannot even lift her arms and move her fingers.
This is the photo when it was my time to visit my lola and substitute to my other aunties who cared for her in 3 consecutive days. The moment I saw my lola laying down in that bed, I felt weak. I didn't know why, but that was happened in my body. I didn't hugged her right away because she was sleeping. She can talk, but you cannot understand her words.
It was like she was just mumbling and murmuring. My struggle back then was how I accompanied her in the comfort room whenever she felt peeing and pooping. I didn't washed her poop. My auntie did it. My lola cannot eat hard food so we basically have to cook soup food like sopas, porridge, champorado and fruit shake. She was really strong. I felt weak, but my lola always tapped my back or hold my hand. She was like saying to me that she was not dying. It was only stroke.
I didn't took photos much during those days because I was so focused on her. She cannot chewed her food so I always watching if she will got choke or something. Thankfully, she did no experience any of it. The nurse who assisted my lola was so good. She was skilled and you knew how much effort she exerted to her patients. I knew her name actually and we're friends on Facebook. *smiling*
My lola started to recovered a week after she was sent home. Everyone adjusted their schedule and time because there should be at least one or two persons taking care of our lola. She cannot walk and eat herself alone. That situation lasted for about 6 months. She started to walk during in her 7 or 8 months. She got her therapy session for her muscles because it is needed to make her blood vessels to run again in a smooth way.
Today, my lola was so good. She can walk, run, jog, plant and her normal activities. But one thing has changed, her food habits. We didn't allowed her to eat clams, or any food that is high in cholesterol. We didn't want it to happen again to her or in any of us. It is because we struggle so much physically and financially. So, I want to give you an advice that food is good, but when it is too much. It might harm you the way it harms my lola.
Thanks so much again my generous sponsors. I love seeing you all in that block until now. Love lots!

I raised my hands and spirit for Him
This is all started when I enter senior high school in Bacoor, Cavite. Actually, I didn't plan to enroll to school that was far from our home, but I guess I was really destined to enroll there. I never thought that my life would change drastically that even my faith was restored. I can called it destiny because all of the sudden things changed that I didn't expected.
To give you insight about my family, my mother's side family was religious. They always attended on mass every Sunday and have a Bible study. I don't know if you know the Couple for Christ (CFC) and Youth for Christ (YFC). They were member there and constantly having a Bible study in houses. I was a member of CFC for years and I really enjoyed serving the Lord.
However, I stopped serving for unknown reason. I felt like I was not needed anymore and my self-pity hikes even more. That was the struggle I had back then. I didn't questioned the Lord to those bad things happened in my life. I just know that He is in control and all things are according to His will.
Moving forward, when I entered senior high school in Bacoor I was stunned for how long I traveled. It took me at least an hour and a half to get there. From Tanza to Bacoor is far, and traffic consumed my time too. I struggled at first because I didn't used to it. But, you know I adjusted after a week and traveling that far became normal.
How did I ended up to Christian church?
I found it funny and amazing how the Lord brought me in His kingdom. As you all know, I am very active in school. Academically speaking, I was an achiever. It was nutrition month and I was competing for quiz bee. I forgot to pass my project in particular subject because I was focused on quiz bee. I submitted my project, but my teacher denied it. Why? Because she was really strict in terms of deadline. I asked her with a sincere voice and let her accepted it.
But still, she didn't accepted it. After my last class, she approached me and she told me she would accept it IF I would attend in their church because they will be having a youth worship. So, I was desperate that time because my grade will be severely affected if my project wouldn't counted in. Then I said yes! After that, I felt like a new beginning and path was opened. My heart for Jesus was burning.
This is our tribe leader, kuya Glen. He was our leader and his heart for the Lord was so big. What we were holding was a card. The verse printed on the card is Roman 3:16. The very first verse that crushed my soul and spirit. The verse that always reminded me to flee from the sins. I hold that verse for so long until now. Kuya Glen taught me how to be dependent in the Lord all the time and made no excuses to miss worshiping Him.
This is one of my photos while worshiping. I was the young man at the back. I found this photo on our official Facebook page. I was tagged. I didn't knew this at all. Worship is my way of giving my entire being to the Lord and surrendering everything I had. I felt good. I felt fulfilled. I felt peace. When I was worshiping, I didn't mind whatever happened in my surrounding at all. I was really focused on singing and praying at the same time.
The Lord taught me to speak about my past and darkest experiences. He pulled off every tiny details of my existence and used it as testimony. That time, I didn't realized that what happened in my past will be my greatest testimony which I can use to inspire youth like me. The voice I was insecure about turned into voice people loved listening. I loved to speak and share the Word to youths I encountered.
Above all, I started to embrace my potential. Many people believed on me, but I doubted myself sometimes. I would like to share that the time I met the Lord, I decided to become inactive in my academics. I wanted to test the Lord myself. I didn't do my best at all. I didn't joined any contest or activities which I loved. Surprisingly, at the very end, can you imagine I still got five medals and certificate to recognized my academic performance. The Lord's promised was real. I tested and proven it myself.
I wanted you to know that whatever happened in the past and happening today that you feel like the Lord left you. No! He is making something big for you. I always remind myself that whenever I faced big challenges. There is a big reward and blessing after. I knew it because I know the Lord. Isn't amazing if you experience it all for yourself too?
Thanks so much lovely sponsors! Sending love to you all. Also, some of my sponsorship ended and I will renew it on Monday.

Is tracking money effective or not?
Everyone had their own money and earning in the platform. We have a consistent cash flows given by this platform and your salary in work. Then have you ever track your money? Like how much do you spent yesterday, last week and last month? I know some of us are not a fan of tracking and managing our finances. But, I want you to know that if you have money, then you should know how to manage it wisely.
I have been into financing lately. I kept listening to financial managing, tips on saving, ways of spending your monthly budget and so on. In fact, I really didn't feel like to manage my money since I don't have money to manage. And I know that's the most common problem why we are not into financial management. But, we all love money and spend our money to things we love to purchase.
Since I was young, I had this desire to breakdown my expenses for a whole day. Although I am not working and earning, but I still have daily allowance which is enough to portion it to details. I still remembered that my first ever money managing was when I was fifth grade. I have this kind of book that I would love to buy, but I don't want to tell it to my mother. The book is compilation of short stories and jokes.
You know, when we were young especially in grade school. There are a lot of vendors selling story books, coloring books, puzzles, grammar books and etc. So, in that point, I decided to save money for that. My daily allowance back then was ₱60. That money, I have to keep at least ₱10 everyday so that after a week or two, I can buy the book I want. Thankfully, I bought two or three books back then.
In those years, that was the time I was opened into world of financial budgeting. Although it's not professional since I as just a little boy, but it's more than enough for me. Thus, I don't have big money to budget too. Since then, I am tracking my money. It lasts for three months I guess because after I bought all the books I want. I stopped saving and budgeting. And I think that's the problem!
We stopped tracking, budgeting, portioning or whatever you called it when we already bought the things we want. It's like what is the purpose of this whole financial managing if we don't have a goal, right? Our interest in managing our money is lessening day by day. I am guilty in that. I thought that when you already had the things you wanted, then it's okay for you to stop managing your money wisely. That's a big misconception I had.
From fifth grade, I started saving again when I was in 10th grade. But this time, it is a book again. It was not a story book, but a grammar book. I started to save ₱10 a day so that after a month I can buy a new grammar book in Book Sale in SM Bacoor. Yeah, my heart and mind was so focused on saving and before I left our house I will leave the ₱10 in my cute little piggy bank so that I will not spend it on school.
Again, after I bought my first ever English grammar book when I was in 10th grade. I decided to stop saving and tracking my money because I have no purpose now. Why to save money if you don't where you will spend it right? Another mistake I had before. I thought it was okay to stop, well, it's okay to stop tracking your money, but as early as you track your money. It will become a habit that you cannot easily removed in your lifestyle.
That's why when I reached college, I started to do some part time jobs in our school library. In that way, I can earn some penny to add for my weekly budget. I just want you to know that tracking money is not about how big or small your money. Sometimes, we think that if my money is small and I only have few allowance everyday or every week. I should not track or manage my money. No, you have to track it because it's your allowance and it doesn't matter how much it was.
At first, I tracked my money through my notes. I jotted down my whole day expenses like food, transportation fare, school stuffs, and emergency. So that I know where my money went and I will think for a moment if what I bought is good and worth it. As some says, you have to spend money but not bigger than you can earn. That's right. For me, I only spend my money to daily and unavoidable needs. Everyday, I always allotted 10% for savings. No matter what happens, 10% is what I saved.
But today, I upgraded my tracking ways. I used excel now. It's way easier. You just have to enter the formula and that's it. You can also keep the data in a folder and review it when the time comes. At least, you know how much money is coming and how much money will be spend daily. It's very effective in a sense of, you are learning to manage your finances and you keep improving. Thus, you will realize what things to buy first. It's like a matter of prioritization.
I'm not impulsive person when it comes to spending. I always think two steps ahead so that I could analyze if it's worth it or not. Meaning, tracking your money is to track your way of living. You cannot live without money. You cannot avoid the influence of money. But, you can manage and track it the way you wanted. We all need money and you have to earn it. Even if you're earning small, that's still a good reason to start tracking your finances.
Hooray! Unending appreciation to these people above. They are source of encouragement to me to write well. I know you will become one too. Awiee!

Thank you for reading and I'll see you next time!
I stayed in Kawit for PHP2,000 with a wine
For this past few days, my auntie from Kawit was bugging and asking me to go to there. She was so persistent asking me to do so. My notification on messenger was always so full because of her messages. So why was she bugging me? Why she had to message me every hour and offer me PHP2,000 to stay there.
She was messaging me every hour because my auntie wanted me to stay in Kawit. Since, no one will left in their house who will look for her daughter when she will be gone for 2 days. Then, the name appeared on her mind was me. Yes, I was very closed to this aunt and her daughter which is my cousin, is one of my closest even though she was young.
My cousin who will I look for two days is a seven year old girl kid. She was one year old ahead to my youngest sibling so I am really attached to her. I also took care of her when she was a baby. So, at first I didn't wanted to go because I'm still having an online classes. I might not be focus on my classes, while looking out for this young cousin of mine.
However, my mind was changed when my auntie brought up about she would pay me for PHP2,000 and she would give me a bottle of wine. Why wine? It was because I really often drink a shot of wine whenever I am stress. It's not what you are thinking right now that I am rich or something. It was just that it's my way of releasing my stress.
A bottle of wine could last at least 3 to 4 months for me. Yes, that's long. I really didn't drink alcoholic beverage because I am easily got drunk. So one proper shot of glass is totally enough for me. So, if you will invite me to your birthday or something then, offer me to drink. I would definitely got drunk for a shot of four and five.
So, currently I am in Kawit today. I cannot focus on reading articles in this platform and to noise cash. I was just too focus looking for this so playful cousin of mine. Plus, I had an online class awhile ago which results me to inactive quite a bit. I haven't read an article properly since this morning.
I would probably staying here for two days and in that span of time I know I will be stress. This cousin of mine is a certified brat. Yeah, a spoiled brat and she was raised on that way since she was only daughter. However, in terms of commanding this girl is okay. I am attached to her since young so she listen to me everytime I ask her to stop doing something. My only struggle is that she shower too long. Like too long.
This afternoon, I was really feeling like I need to poop, but she was still in the bathroom for an hour already. Her “me time” always happened on the bathroom, and you should definitely let her do it or you would experience seeing her tantrum which lasts for 3 to 4 hours. But, I don't want that to happen so I waited for her until she got out. I hold this untimely, unreleased and solid poop of mine in this little stomach.
Today I plan to watch a kid movie with her. I haven't decided what movie because I am not really watching kid movies lately. So, do you have any kid movie recommendation? I would appreciate if your movie recommendation is a movie you watched recently so I know that it is really good.
I noticed lately that my tummy is so sensitive to foods. I easily got a stomachache and diarrhea. As you know, this last week I really had a bad stomach because of crabs and I wasn't able to go with our family trip. So. I feel like since then my tummy is not going back it is used to. Hmm. What's wrong my little tummy? Can we just get along because I have so many delicious foods waving in the kitchen right now.
Would you accept the offer to look for a brat kid for two days? And would receive PHP2,000 and a bottle of wine? Isn't that a tempting offer, is it? Let me just refresh my mind and body for a bit because I feel like I will explode in just a couple of minutes. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Alright, there you go.
Thanks beautiful darlings for staying at my sponsors block. You are all a blessing in this humble writer of yours.

Trust the process, becoming successful academically
I kept wondering what makes me excited going to school? Was it because of my classmates laughter? Was it my new found crush? Was it the new ideas and lessons that can transform me becoming a good and knowledgeable person. It was really cloudy thoughts and the whole school journey thing.
We all know that school is the foundation of knowledge and wisdom of the world. It is the central part and medium for dissiminating the ideas and knowledge we should know. It's still vividly clear in my head the day I enter school in my 1st grade, 7th grade, 11th grade and freshmen year. I had high hopes and expectations on the first day of the school. Why?
It was because the first day is the day to wonder and meet new things. New teacher, new subjects, new classmates and new environment. I was just too fascinated how things working out whenever it's the start of the school year. Students are so busy chatting with friends and the whole class are murmuring. It was as if they haven't seen each other for several years. Well, that is how things done right?
In every class, there are types of student. The smart one, the shy type, the crush of the class, the heartthrob, the spice girls, the joker and even the gangster type. Whatever it is, there's one thing I noticed. Whatever type of student you are or your roles in school. The most important thing is the knowledge you can impart in your life and how will you apply it in real life situation.
When I was in grade school, my mind was filled with fun and curiosity. I just like to discover and play outside with my friends. They are so good in playing Chinese garter and piko. Do you still remember them? Oh, I cannot say a word how I miss playing this kind of recreational activity. Although Chinese garter is for girls, but I still play it like 10 & 20.
Among the type of student, I would consider myself in the middle of shy type and smart one. No, I'm not smart. It was just that I was pushed by my desire to excell in what I do. I'm no studious kid. I can vouch for that. But why I am excelling? It was a matter of my hobby in reading which leads to passion as of now.
What you are looking at is my certificates and medals I gained during my senior high school year. I was proud of my hard work and I felt that all of these are the fruit of everything. The most memorable certificate I received was the Best in Research. Why? It is because I had sleepless night working on it and the time we exerted on interviewing so many participants.
In addition, can you imagine out of 40 plus research papers evaluated. We came up on top beating all the groups in my year level. Some of those groups are consisting of top-notcher in dean's lister so when the time they announced whose group won in Best in Research. We were all shocked. Like, I thought it was a prank or a joke but, it was real and it happened. We were called on stage. We were shocked and we just received right away.
Some of you are still studying. I made this article dedicated to all the students like me. You have come so far and your journey in schooling is lessening. I just want you to know that to becoming successful academically doesn't mean you have to gain high grades, earn medals and am certificates. But, successful academically means becoming the best version of yourself with knowledge and hone skills. It is because at the end of the day, a person who lacks knowledge will always left behind. And that is reality.
You know, if you look at the good side of studying. We will study for several years and after that we will work lifetime. What I mean is, just enjoy and acquire knowledge as much as possible. I tell you that it will be beneficial to you. It may be not now, but never. Let us become a graduate that is globally competitive and morally upright individuals.
You see this people above? They are my generous and ever-loving sponsors. Thank you @foryoubtc09 for sponsorship renewal. I really appreciated it a lot.

Thank you reading. I'll see you next time!
This is my highest earning so far
My bitcoin cash wallets started all to zero satoshi. I am very confused and thinking hard how I can increase it or how I can see my wallet to earn satoshi. All I thought was gaining and didn't think about the ways of getting it. At first, I try the free satoshi offer by bitcoin.com wallet and several faucets available online. I thought it was big enough, but I realized it's not worth it.
I don't know if you have tried claiming bch through faucets or watching ads to earn satoshis. Most commonly, we can earn at least 200-400 satoshi per ads which has a timer about 8-40 seconds. If you combine all of these satoshis, they would create a huge number. But that number, when we convert it on USD. It was very small. For a whole week, I just earned around 0.20-0.40 USD. But the time I exerted getting this amount is way unworthy.
I didn't tried to use or open any faucet today. I leaned that using them is just a waste of time. You cannot exit the ads because if you do, the timer will stop and you will not gain anything. How cruel! So, I focused my time in noise and read cash alone. In this way, my time will be worth it. Every satoshi I can gain is worth it. And I know, most of you using this platform, we have a common goal. To gain satoshi and spread the bitcoin cash adoption.
My month of April is a good month since it is my birth month. If you still remember, I celebrated my 21st birthday and all I wish is to calm the weather and also, buy a new laptop. Anyhow, we survived last month and still kicking today. I had few sicknesses I have felt and experienced, but they are all gone now. The most recent one is the time I got an LBM which I missed our family trip in Maragondon.
In terms of my published articles, I have no missing article. Meaning, I have no absent in publish my article last April. It was 30 over 30. I never thought that I could publish and didn't missed any. Why? It is because I have no draft in my account. Every article I made was on the spot. And, some articles I made took me an hour or two to finish when the idea runs out.
My interaction in the platform also didn't decrease, in fact, it increased every day. I read as many as I can whenever I was online because I knew you all deserved to be read. You made that article for so long, and you even paraphrase and proofread it over and over again. I was a fan of a certain author here and I wouldn't mention its name. I am shy! The articles that person produced is always hit me and it made me smile.
Recently, I made a new account in noise cash because my former account was no longer receiving tips. That made me sad. Its been my account for I guess 5 or 6 months. Thankfully, when I created a new account, users are still friendly like before. If you like to subscribe or have an interaction with me in noise cash. My username is Markoom. Markoom is not what I thought my username was. It was my mistake that I didn't notice that I clicked the letter “m” instead of tab button. Supposedly, it was Markoo. https://noise.cash/u/Markoom
This month is my highest earning so far and I didn't expected it. I am new and you all know it. For this month, I earned with the total of USD183.64. In this platform, my total earning is USD171.26 and for noise which existing for a week now earned USD12.38. So, if we would convert this in the current price of bitcoin cash, it would be 0.64BCH. I cannot imagine that I would gained this high. Thanks to all of your support and love.
If I would total all my BCH that I hodl today from different wallets, then I have a total of 1.86BCH. I feel like I am living my dream today. My heart is overwhelmed from the zero satoshi I had before to 1.86BCH I had today. This was not enough to buy a new laptop so I need to save more and spend less this incoming months. All I wish is that my braincells would not leave me hang whenever I would use it. Say no to writer's block. It's painful.
For my goals this month is simple. To be consistent and stay honest to all of my articles. I would continue my writing which is my first love passion and do the same thing I did last month. I had this opportunity to write what's on my mind, then I will write endlessly. Can we just have a cheers for the success we had? Raise your glass and cheers!
Thank you so much for staying with me lovely and generous sponsors. Also, thanks for sponsorship renewal @Carewind I appreciate it a lot.

I played flashcard game with my family
I still remember clearly the way I looked at my mother when she was teaching me how to read. Whenever I cannot read the word or words that has been read previously. She would smacked my hand or twisted my right ear. That was how she disciplined me in reading and writing the alphabets. It was quite brutal in a way, but very effective.
Yesterday, it was Saturday and everyone was at home. We just cooked lumpiang shanghai and we grilled porks as well. It is just a celebration that we are still completed after the month of April. Can you imagine after several events like typhoon, Cavite is still standing and we never hit by it. And that was the also the reason why we had the celebration.
As you all know, some of the provinces of Visayas and Mindanao was terribly hit. Many has died and missing. It was a natural disaster so no one has to blame. If you still remember, I featured a rare case of a young boy who survived in landslide by hiding inside the refrigerator. It was his survival instinct to do it and unfortunately, his parents didn't survived. I believed it was already featured in Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho (KMJS) in one of their episodes.
As we celebrated being together despite of everything happened. We played few card games like UNO. Oh, I know everyone knew this card game and it was very enjoyable. My father always won and I don't know his secret. I think we had at least 10 rounds and he had the most wins which around 6 or 7. Yeah, and I just win 2 rounds and the rest is my sister. My mother didn't even win a single turn. How unfortunate!
During the game, we bet the household chores. Meaning, if you win, you have the power to assign what place an individual would do for a day. Since my father won 6 rounds, he has six powers to assign. He's shameless! He assigned me to what I hate the most. He assigned me cleaning the bathroom, trimming the grasses and washing dishes. Supposedly, this is my sister's household chores.
So, he has 3 powers left and he assigned my sister to feed the animals like chickens, dogs, rabbits and birds. In addition, my sister also received the task of washing our clothes and sweeping inside our house. My father has no power now and, it's my time. I assigned my father to separate our garbage and I assigned my sister to clean all the rooms.
On the other hand, my sister assigned me to manicure and pedicure all the family. I got mad at her because that's too much. But I cannot complain because it was her power to do so for that day. So yeah, basically, we switched the household chores today. But it was fun doing the household chores that you didn't usually do. How lucky my mother and my youngest sister to not received any task today.
We rested for an hour, and we started a new game. It was the flashcard we used to answer when we were young. It was the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It was rumble so you don't know what's the operation next. My youngest sister was the one who flashing the card. We were so tensed that even the basic of the basics computation. We got it wrong. The person who would solve fast. The fifty cards will receive the PHP500.
The money was contributed by everyone. We had shared PHP125 each. So, I want to win the game. PHP500 is quite a helpful money, you see. So, the game started and my sister was the one who played. She got 38 points, my father got 29 points, my mother got 42 points and yours truly got 44 points. Well, this brain of mine is molded, sharpened and developed through time. Just kidding! Yeah, I got the price and lucky me it was fun play.
I am just so thankful that we had this little games. You know that through this, the boundaries and relationships inside the family will be stronger and better. I loved my family. We all loved our family. That's why to celebrate small things and have some fun is needed sometimes. To ease your parents tiredness, to ease your brain from school works and to take a break to all you do. So, this is Sunday and make fun with your family. Paly simple games. Watch movies in the sala. Cook together. Whatever it is, the important thing is you all enjoy it and happy at the end.
Thank you to all my kindest and generous sponsors who still stay with me. Also, I would like to thank for sponsorship renewal of ate @alicecalope and ate @Talecharm You are all angels.

I am hosting an incoming show, what's my preparation?
Since I was young, my very concern and jealousy always start with my voice. I know you cannot hear my voice, but I tell you I have low voice. Meaning, sometimes I have to shout a little for others to hear me clear. I do not know why or how I develop this kind of voice. I didn't tried to check up since I can still speak. My concern dissipating eventually when I was asked to join journalism and be part of radio broadcasting team.
At first, I was very hesitant to join because as you know, my voice is low and the listeners may not hear me. That would be very disappointing not only for me, but to my team and my school as well. However, my teacher still encouraged me to grab the opportunity and accepted their offer. One of the things that they said to me back the was to gain points for my academics. It is because I am in the first section or star section. Meaning, the valedictorian and salutatorian will becoming from in our section.
That was very encouraging! I joined and participated to broadcasting team. I still remember our first practice day. My hands were shaking and my heartbeat was so fast. It was very evident to my voice. My teacher stopped me and calmed me down. It was hard for me to focus because my mind is occupied by thinking that they cannot hear me or I will just disappoint them.
Later on, I realized that I havea power to send a voice and people will hear me. Although, I have a low voice, but I accepted it wholeheartedly today. Right now, whenever I was asked to discuss something in front or someone who is needed to discuss for the whole class. Their first choice is always me. I have no idea what's in my voice. I felt like my voice was hidden for so long and now, people are interested hearing it.
One time, it was a teacher's day. The teacher has power to select a student that will be coming a substitute teacher for them. It was our principal's idea to give honor and importance to our teachers. I was in 11th grade and our teacher in oral communication chose me as his substitute. I didn't turned it down because I love that subject very well. But, I was shocked that it is not the subject I will teach. He selected me to become his substitute and teach the higher level which is the 12th grade.
When the time I taught in 12th classes, they were like “who's this?”. Of course, they were confused. But I did my best to learn the lesson and teach it to them. Yeah, it wasa success. I taught 4 sections and that dried my whole energy and braincells. But, as a token for that, I received high grade in his subject. And it made me smile and happy.
We will be having a new talk show in Filipino. My professor selected me as the host and my friend. Yeah, there will bea two hosts. It was like a talks show like magandang buhay in ABS-CBN. So, it is light and very welcoming. But the challenge is that we will act as characters in Noli Me Tangere. I already talked to my partner and we assigned the characters to our classmates. They are learning their characters and how they are involved in the novel.
This is a challenging task for me because I am not used to hosting. I also need to read the summarize of Noli Me Tangere and the characters personality and history. I am reviewing it one by one yesterday night. My head was aching and I felt likeI abused my brain too much. In addition, this talk show is not only our activity, but my teacher's performance. Yeah, the head's department will be in our class to grade her. So, we have to be fully prepared and rehearsed some questions.
I just want you to know that we all have insecurities and weaknesses. But, don't be afraid of them. Face it and take it as whole. Swallow your weakness, then turn it as your greatest asset and strength. I didn't expected that this voice of mine will reach people including my teachers and professors. They trusted me, and so am I.
Thank you my dearest sponsors. The month will end and I know it's time to for renewals. We will renew our sponsorship to others as well. Let us be a blessing to someone today.

I bought a new double-deck in a lowest price
The opportunity given by this platform to everyone was truly great. I cannot imagine myself as a student who earned as low as PHP8,000 just by writing and publishing articles every day. You cannot find any platform who pays good like this Can you imagine that I am at home, sitting or laying down while writing and publishing, but at the same time I am earning as well. This platform was just a blessing to us all.
If you can recall, I started my journey in this platform not too long ago. On 27th of January, I finally decided to create an account and publish an article. But, before that I have already published at least 8 or 9 articles from my old account. I tried to recover it if I can get rusty's trust but it failed. So, from that time I started publishing new article in this account which now is so active.
I cannot forget those people who helped and supported me when I was just starting. Those people are great and articulated people. Should I mentioned them one by one? No, let's leave them be. I knew they know that I am so grateful to them. As of now, I have this big virtual family and friends. Without the help of everyone, I don't think I am where I am today. So a big appreciation to all of you.
Alright, in my first month in this platform. I told myself that I will allot the money for buying things in our room. Well, our house has only three rooms. We are five in the family. One room for my parents, one room for yours truly, and one room for my sisters. We don't have big house like others. It was just an ordinary house since we're living in the subdivision. You all know what it looks like right?
In my room, I don't have problem at all. But my sisters' room need to have a double-deck because they are sharing in one bed. Of course, the space is so limited and sometimes they are fighting because in bed space. So, I decided to buy a double deck. I researched and asked my parents to where I can buy a double-deck. I don't have a huge amount of money for it, so as much as possible I want it to be cheap but a good one.
The timing was so perfect when my lola asked me if I am willing to buy the double-deck her neighbor was selling. So, I went there to confirmed if the double-deck is in a good condition or not. The former owner told me that she bought it last two months ago. Her kids doesn't want a metal-made so, she will replace it with a wooden-made. Since she needs to replace it as soon as possible, she offered me to buy it at PHP2,400 only. But, my lola asked for a discount and at the end of the negotiation. The price went down to PHP1,600.
I cannot believe that price went down like that. I guess I should learn that skill from my lola. Her negotiation skill is top-notch. So, I was not at home when the double-deck was delivered. I was surprised when I saw there was a bed foam, bed sheets, and pillow cover. I asked my mother why where it came from? I thought she bought it while I was gone since she knew that I purchased a double-deck.
She told me that they were all free. Yes, all I mentioned was free from the previous owner. She was so kind and generous. I didn't know what kind of tricks my lola played at, but I am so thankful to her as well. I really saved a lot of penny from that. Actually, my initial budget was only PHP5,000, and higher than that was a no for me.
Let me compute the total amount of the double-deck with foam, bedsheets and pillow cover. I researched the price of the double-deck and it costs around PHP3,500. The two uratex single foam costs around PHP1,450 per piece. Bedsheets and pillow covers cost around PHP250. So the total amount is PHP6,650, but I bought it only for PHP1,600. Meaning, I have saved around PHP5,050 and that was a lot.
Aside from the this, I also bought my rejuvenating set called HerSkin. It was mild and gentle in our face. My face started to peel in my third day of using it. At first, I felt itchy and pain because the skin is peeling. But, it was totally normal. The product removes my pimple and some pimple marks too. I felt happy and satisfied using HerSkin products. It contains a soap, toner, day and night cream and it will cost you PHP349. It is worth to buy, so what are you all waiting for? Use HerSkin now!
After I spend my first monthly earnings, I didn't regret it. I can see the fruit of my earnings and hard work in our little room. It felt good that my sisters are no longer fighting because bed space because they have their own space now. I am also using a double-deck in my room. Why? It is because if there is someone who will go in our house and overnight. I have space to offer most especially for her. Just kidding!
Thank you very much my lovely and generous sponsors. You all the best. Check out this authors and their articles as well.

I ate too much, now I am left at home alone
My siblings are finally finished their final and periodical exams at school. Meaning, the next thing they will do is to have a vacation. Last sunday, my family planned to go out for another trip in Maragondon and Ternate, Cavite. These two areas have many falls, streams, clean rivers and beaches. My father wants us to have this special trip to happen. Actually, he was the one who planned everything. That's how excited he was.
Yesterday, my lola cooked ginataang gulay with crabs. Of course, who am I to refuse to eat our very special viand right? I am drooling and wanting to eat first, but we will be having a boodle fight. I-uh wait for the clock until it reaches 11:30 pm. We prepared 5 long banana leaves and put it on top of the table. Besides to crab, we also have grilled pork, grilled hotdog and fried longganisa. Just your simple boodle fight with my family.
So after, we had boodle fight, everyone was full. There are crabs left because my uncle bought too many of it. He bought 5 kilos of crabs in the local market here. I saved some crabs and grilled pork because it will be my viand for dinner. Well, we are not eating crabs daily so, I will really eat it until the last one. In addition, crabs are too pricey as well. I think 1 kilo of crab is around PHP300. So, fish, vegetables and chicken is what we usually cook
Yesterday evening, my father reminded us that we have to prepared our clothes, bags, and things we will pack for our trip. If we didn't do what he asked, then he will keep telling it and asking us to do it. So, we did it immediately. I also ate every crab left in our dinner meal. That was one of a kind night and I made sure I will enjoy it. But there are really things happened that we don't have to abused our tummy too much.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt I needed to go to comfort room immediately. My stomach is not in a good condition. I woke up at 5:30 am, and at 5:45 I really what I have to released. After that, I felt okay. However, after an hour and a half, my stomach started to shift mood again. I went to comfort, and do my thing there. That was strike two!
Everything was prepared. Our foods, clothes, tents, bags, and everything. But, I have to tell to my parents that I am not feeling well. I don't want to spend my time in there having and feeling uncomfortable in my stomach. My father got mad and sermon me. He told me that I ate too much yesterday and now I have stomachache. For worse, it was loose bowel movement (LBM). I didn't answered back because I knew it was my fault.
They told me that our trip will not be cancel. So, they really left me at home this morning. Yeah, I was left alone in our house today. They left me some food to eat and I reheated it awhile ago. I am regretting to eat too many yesterday and I miss our family trip today. My sister is sending me pictures on messenger and I know her intention very well. She wanted to tease and make me envy. Although, I don't want to be jealous, butI cannot help myself to resist it.
I just missed the opportunity to make a memorable memories and experiences with family today. My sister told me that the falls are so cold and clean. There are so many tall trees and the streams of water is not too deep. She tried to drink the water and it tasted good. I warned not too because she might get some bacteria or something and get diarrhea like me. Now, I am alone in our house. Just occupying myself by reading articles and watching series. So don't overeating because you like the food so much. Always eat what you can consume and you might experience the same as mine which I totally regretting now.
Thank you to all my generous sponsors. You are all a blessing to yours truly. Also, thanks ate @Ayane-chan for your sponsorship renewal. Love lots!

First time to be a godfather, what's the feeling?
I am a 21 years old guy, and just living an ordinary life with my family in Cavite. Every baby is a blessing to every family. They are the source of hope, joy and bravery of parents. One of the reason why parent are still together is because of their children. In addition, when the baby is born. There will be godparents who will shared some responsibility of raising the child.
In the Philippines, I knew that most parents got godparents for about six to eight people. That was the common number to every child. Personally, I have eight godparents. Four males and four females. I am very happy meeting them most especially in Christmas. Well, who wouldn't love receiving gifts like money, clothes, toys, accessories and even bags? That was the most awaiting day and season.
So recently, my friend, Kristlyn who was my former classmate in senior high school got pregnant. Actually, her boyfriend was our classmate too. They have been together since ninth grade and decided to finally level up their relationship. Their became fruitful and she delivered a healthy baby. She told me she was pregnant when she was carrying the baby for 6 months. I knew somethig was wrong in her body because whenever she posted and my day. I noticed that that her tummy is quite big and she gained weight a lot.
So after she told me she was pregnant, I am so happy for them. Actually, I was the second who she shared she was carrying a baby because I am one of her closest friend. When the baby was born, I saw that they had similarities especially in nose and face shape. She delivered a healthy baby girl named Frauline Kate. Gosh, where did they get this name? It was really good.
We video call and I saw how joyful their faces. It was truly a gift and they planned this long time ago. So the baby was not accidentally made or something. Although they were not married yet, but I knew they will in the future. During our video call, I examined the baby well. The baby was really healthy and she was just smiling all along. You know, a baby's smile is soothing and you will feel comfort as well. It was the parents stress relieving remedy.
Francis, her husband was working and earning well. He really is determined to give his family a good life. He was once told me before that when he and Kristlyn will get married or having a baby. I will be the godfather of their child. In fact, before the baby was born, I am already its godfather. A contracted one. I am so glad that finally I will be a godfather. Yes, this is my first ever goddaughter so, I was really looking forward to it. No one ever chose or selected me, and I don't know why.
Well, uhm, for my goddaughter, I would like you to know that even before you were born. We were happy awaiting for you and you were already a blessing to all of us. Your parents are doing the best they could to raise and protect you all day long. As your ninong, I will be your second guardian and will be a one call away ninong. As much as I can, I can lend help to your parents because they were close friends of mine too. I am so excited for you to grow because there are so much for you to learn about us. I wish you a good health and I hope you will not a headache to your parents.
I know some of you are happy and not when you are being invited to be a godparent because somewhat, you already have too many. But for me, it's my first time so I am just excited. I don't know how many godchild I will have in the future, but one thing I know is clear. I will be a good and helpful godparent, not a rich one. Just kidding! There is no exact date when the baby will receive its christening. We are just waiting. In addition, they are also saving money for that event and let's see what journey I will have as a godparent. How many godchild do you have?
Thank you everyone for sponsorship and to all incoming sponsors as well. I know you will be one, one day. Charr!

My uncle's exorcism story
This is a story of a my uncle's extraordinary experience which is totally unbelievable. It was a story that people will not believe happened in our family. It is because we were known as religious in the community so who will thought that this rare case will happen in our family. The whole story is based on the true events, I didn't altered even a single scene here. I was there. I was the one who videoed and captured photos because it was the tasked they were given to me.
The eldest sibling of my father went abroad particularly in Saudi Arabia to find a better opportunity and raise her kids well. Her husband was not mentally good meaning he has some defect in his brain. He is healthy. Her husband was a good man who worked for them earnestly without fail. Their family was a good family and you know they are happy. However, her husband suddenly became ill and started to see things that our naked eyes cannot. Yes, he was seeing elemental beings in the tree. The whole story revolved when her husband was possessed by a Kapre.
You might now believed what will I narrate to you right now, but it's real. They are real. I was the one who accompanied them because her husband cannot walk properly. Why? It is because his two legs had deep wounds. Those wounds appear out of nowhere. As time went by, the wounds didn't heal and it started to have worms. A living worms. This may sound weird and yuck, but there are so many worms coming out from it. They tried to clean it over and over again. But it keeps coming back.
When there are no options left, they started to seek the second opinion. They went out first to a magtatawas who tried to figured out what's wrong with her husband. He found out that the man has something within him. Something dark and powerful. It is the elemental being called Kapre. The magtatawas cannot heal her husband because it was beyond his capabilities so he recommended them to a strong Albularyo.
They went to Maragondon to find the man. They strolled the mountainous and forestry which few cars are passing by. When they found the Albularyo's house, she cried. She cried because he was the hope she was looking for. Her husband was in deep pain and she cannot do anything to ease it. Even the painkiller is nothing at all. She told him the whole situation and the Albularyo started to check the man. As to what the Magtatawas said, Kapre is behind and responsible for what's happening to her husband. She asked him if he can heal and help her husband.
He said he will try his best. The Albularyo encountered so many cases like this so he knew what's the best thing to do. He started to cast some incantation and hold the man's fingers. The man was shouting in pain. He was uttering words which cannot be comprehended. Words that was used by those elemental beings. The Kapre was speaking and fighting back. The Albularyo reached his necklace, a necklace that contains some rings and crosses. He started to tapped it to man's forehead.
The whole situation was truly frightening. Both Albularyo and Kapre were clashing like two monsters in her husband's body. She was crying when she saw her husband was moaning in pain. She prayed. She did it for an hour or longer. She didn't remembered how many prayers she casted. When the situation started to calm, she thought it was the end. But, the Albularyo told her that the battle will just begin. She thought it was over.
The Albularyo tried to communicate with the Kapre and asked why he was disturbing the man. Why of all people he chose the man to possess because they are not like that. They are obsessed with women. A lustful creature. When the Kapre spoke through the man as a medium, it started to narrate the whole situation. The Kapre held so much her husband because they were friends since her husband was young. They actually knew each other amd played before. But the man was in good terms with the Kapre. They were having fun at night.
Her husband was visiting the Kapre every night to asked how he was. The bond between her husband and Kapre were strong and healthy. This may surprise you a little bit. The Kapre sensed that the man's life will end near. Yes, the Kapre sensed that her husband will die due to diabetes and blood problems. It is because her husband's family had a record of it so it was not surprising. The Kapre wants to hold the man's life. It didn't wanted to possesed her husband, but it had no choice. The Kapre wants the man to extend its life and be with him too.
However, due to his possession, the natural process was interrupted. The man stated to have wounds that kept appearing because the man's body cannot and will not be compatible to Kapre. The Albularyo told the Kapre to get out and release its hold to the man. The Kapre didn't do it at first. But, after several negotiation, the Kapre finally lose its grip to the man. And when they went home, her husband felt good and the worms are no longer appearing. After a week, the man's wounds were healed and some were still healing. However, the her husband grew weak every day. It is until a few months, her husband finally said goodbye.
I decided not to attach any photos because it was very disturbing. I might be reported by some users, so it's a no. Also, I would like to honor my uncle as well. He died fighting back and ended his life with strong will to live. It's been 6 years I guess when he left the earthly realm. He might not have a long existence here, but I know he was happy because he given us three good cousins. If he still here, I know my cousins will definitely be happy. They are happy. What I mean is, the happiness that can only be found inside the family.
Thank you my dearest sponsors. Check out these authors as well. Have fun reading! Thank you ate @Pachuchay for sponsorship renewal. Love lots.

He's expecting: A Netflix originals
As I browse and dive in to Netflix, I saw a very intriguing and interesting series from Japan. It is what you call, He's Expecting. The series is very sensitive to watch because the whole plots and concepts are about pregnancy. But, it is not the usual pregnancy that a woman carries the child. It is about a man who became pregnant via cisgender pregnancy.
How most likely and acceptable for a man to be pregnant? That is insane idea. Just thinking about it makes me puke. That is not the role we are given by the Lord itself. I know this is quite sensitive, but I just want to appreciate mothers who carries the baby for 9 months and endured the pain of labor and delivering the baby.
What's my first impression about the series?
Actually the series is comedy drama, so you will laugh quite a bit from the scenes. However, there are parts which is not funny at all. The first time I saw the series trailer, I was stunned and curious. I wait the series until it was officially out and ready to watch. I immediately download the episodes, jus four episodes out of eight. I want to watch the pilot episode to just feed my curiosity.
At first, the story was smooth. It was like an ordinary scenes where the protagonist is doing his things. He is workaholic. He loves women a lot. Yes, this man actually has a lot of girls and he is sleeping with them weekly. There's a schedule for every girls. Very bad! Anyways, as the story progresses, he watched news about cisgender pregnancy meaning a man was having a baby. I don't know how it's possible. It's totally insane.
This is their official wallpaper for the series. Can you see it? The woman hugging the pregnant pregnant. Supposedly, the man should be at the back hugging his pregnant wife. I just cannot imagine a man is pregnant because from the series itself. I just felt the struggle of body changes. He started having headaches and puking. Then, his tummy is getting bigger. His nipples are getting bigger and producing a little bit of milk.
The series is just a whole another level of fantasy. A man will never ever be pregnant and should not be pregnant at all. I read that the belly foam was very real from the series. It looks like it was real. Thus, the actor gives justice playing the role as well. But still, the concept is good promoting that pregnancy is hard and men should take care of their wives properly. In addition, I think the series also highlight about man should never play women's heart.
My appreciation to all mothers
As I finished the watching the whole episodes of the series, I had this realization that we should never look down to women just because they are women. Pregnancy is a blessing. Pregnancy will be a blessing if you two really decided to have and claim it. My mind is full of appreciations to all mothers right now. I never thought that pregnancy is quite deadly as the body hormone changes. A lot of things are changing inside.
To all brothers out there, I know only few of you are married and some have girlfriend. I want you to know that protect and take care of your queen. She is absolute love. She will be the mother of your children. She will be the light of your house. And above all, she will be the person you will spend the rest of your life time in earthly realm. Love her unconditionally without reserved.
Then what's my rating? Hmm. That's very hard to say though. For concept I think 6/10, and for the plot is 5/10. But in terms of what it wants to say to viewers like me especially to boys. I will give it 9.4/10. I had a lot of realizations that I never thought I would have. If you are interested to watch the series, you may find it exclusively on Netflix. I don't know if it's available to other online sites.
Thanks for you sponsorship friends. In addition, thank you @joydigitalsolutions for becoming my new sponsor. I appreciated it a lot.
