A family trip at our locality, Bamboo Forest, Baguio :))
Last February 15-16, 2020 we visited Pugo, La Union. At first I was excited because I thought we were going to the famous resort at Pugo but reality came crushing in at the last minute. Our cousins called my brother and I on the evening of February 14, they asked us if we want to tag along. My brother just got home from overseas and he was cooped on a dorm during his college days so he hasn't seen the Philippines that much. So when he told me that he wanted to go, I reluctantly agreed. He was so excited and even told me to wake him up at 6 am. On my part, I was not eager and I was having double thoughts on going because in my mind, "Where else will we go if not in the famous Pugo resort?" So I did an all-nighter and slept at 4 am. My brother woke me at 7 am asking why I didn't wake him up. I was so groggy that I answered "I am not coming, its somehow not worth it". I know I'm being mean and when he replied whit a begrudging tone, my conscience was pricked. I didn't mind him and tried to sleep but I just can't rid of the guilt. I stomped on his excitement. So after 30 minutes of sleepless morning, I called him to pacify his feelings and told him we must go. I discriminated the place due to the fact that the resort was the only thing famous but I was wrong! Pugo, La Union has lots to offer aside from the famous resort :))
Bountiful plains greets the eye, endless grains waving with the summer air. We came from the cold place of Baguio so it took us awhile to get accustomed with the climate. Paddy field are also new to me because I was not able to visit my own province that much (Alab, Mountain Province) The sun's ray was burning but the endless air brought a cool feeling. There are fields as far as the eye can see :)) Lush greens were too good for my eye, that's a contradictory to the buildings I saw at my everyday life.
Here is a big ass stone that cemented the bridge that I had taken a video. Too bad I was not able to take pictures of the bridge itself.
Just a house at passing.
The place they were aiming to go needs 30-40 minutes trekking. We were youngsters so we made it at that time but when you plan to visit with an elderly, it would take at least an hour of walking. If you can see that pink ecobag, it has a live chicken on it. That's for our lunch, pinikpikan or sometimes dubbed as "Killing me softly".
I planned to upload the videos I took but the file is too big. I was not able to capture a photo of the bridge but you should at least need to cross 2 bridges before getting to the location. There is a paved way but we didn't know the exact location of the river so we followed the path alongside the water. It was only during our second day that a local told us that there is an easier way.
We also passed by some chicken coops along the way, there is also papaya plantation on its side. The irrigation is well maintained so greeneries will always meet the eye.
As you can see, the water is so clear that the locals boast of it :)) They're proud to tell us some staffs and they are welcoming to guests.
We made it at the first body of the river but my cousins told us that there were some place with a stagnant flow of the river. You see, moss is created in the river if the current is slow, the water is clean but it was stagnant that it created those greens.
The next part of the river is barricaded with cement so that the water will still be available in times of drought. By the way, that was me stepping on a rock but the actual depth of the water is at my chin. I'm small in stature with a height of 5 foot 2 inches so I guess the water is 5 foot depth?
This is me looking foolish right of the bat but this is the only picture I have with a clear view of the cement I was talking about HAHA If you could see the cemented part on the next picture (the left part), that is where we were.
This is where we ended our first day of exploring the suburbs of Pugo, La Union. My cousins scouted far ahead and told us that there is more awesome river up ahead. That is our next destination for our second day.
We ended our day with a bonfire :)) By the way I have a terrible experience with red ant and mosquitos lol but fortunately, I was not bitten by red ants. We have an aunty here at Pugo so that our accommodation was solved right away.
We passed the same way on our first day but this time, we trekked further and we were greeted by the last part of the river. It was just awesoooome! Look at the pictures.
The view that made me smiiiile:)) There is more awesome scenery behind that big ass rock. By the way, that rock is where I carved my name.
Voila! The closer we get, the more beautiful it is.
Atop the rock is just another word of awesomeness. The depth of the water is 6 foot but there are deeper parts that you can dive into. I think the deepest is around 13-15 foot. Yes, that is how deep it was. You can also see the ripples of the slow moving current.
This is the deeper part. The whole river was on video but I can't upload it huhu.
My brother picking woods for us to cook the chicken.
And this was me, taking pictures everywhere HAHA. The two day get away is superb!

What Awaits a Budding Career
How did pandemic affected you? I was chilling awhile ago when I read a news update regarding the licensure exam here in the Philippines. I am a fresh graduate but 1 year had already passed since our ceremony so I guess I won't be qualified as one. Let me rephrase it, I'm a Tambay, one who is dependent of one's family despite finishing education or having the qualification to find a job.
It was December 14, 2019 when I officially passed my studies. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Education major in Social Studies.
Dawned on our uniform, we dreamed of traveling the globe. Naively, we thought that our path was already on a linear track to success. (We have a motto, 'claim it) ✌️
December 15, 2020, our graduation ball. It was already concluded that we didn't fail any subject so we had a blast during the ball.
Our graduation ceremony was on January 23, 2020 and I'm proud to say that my family's support was not wasted. This was a happy occasion so we celebrated non-stop :))
All the celebrations ended and we are now focused on passing our licensure exams. We enrolled on a review center and restudied as much as possible. We even gone to Manaoag, Pangasinan to pray for our exams. (That's a tradition for review centers)
The Licensure exam for Teachers was supposedly last March 2020 but it was postponed because of the pandemic. It was moved to September 2020. We are irked at the postponement but it was also for our wellbeing. We studied hard for the last 4 years so we take March - August as a break for all our efforts.
August 2020 came and the PRC announced that LET (Licensure for teachers) would then be postponed indefinitely. The date was still not decided so they say that it would be moved for this year 2021.
Instead of wasting our time, we applied for part time jobs thinking that we shouldn't apply for regular positions because LET might resume unexpected. We still hope to receive of license so we took breaks after random part time jobs.
January 3, 2021, we are elated that LET has been approved and the exam would now be commenced. We were like 'this is it pansit!' Excitement, fear, laziness, we were having a mixed feeling about the exam but we are looking forward to it.
Right now, we are doing our best to review but I was bothered at the article released by the PRC.
Majority of the exams were cancelled last year but a batch of nursing students were able to take their exam due to the pressing matter of pandemic.
After reading the article, I was then again bothered. Our exam was already approved but why are they telling to prioritize such fields again. I am being selfish but this is unfair for us. Exams for February 2021 are already postponed and ours might be the next.
Our careers are on the line and time is passing. We also need our license to qualify for a job we are aiming for. We all started at the starting line but others were already on the finish line.
We all need to live, we all need a job, we all want to survive but this is just frustrating. Pandemic affected all of us and we can't blame anyone for this misfortune. We also didn't ask for this to happen but why..
Writing with a burdened heart, EvilWillow🥺
Little Tree for Dinner
What is your favorite vegetable? For me, it's Broccoli 🥦:)) They say that hunger makes you appreciate food, and only those deprived of water knows the sweetness of water. I definitely agree to that.
My family is not that well off so we eat limited foods that are within our budget. As a child, I can vaguely remember eating food circling around these handful ingredients - egg, instant noodles (payless bruh), pechay, potato, carrot, ground meet, noodles in different type (pansit canton) and we even eat rice with refreshments (milk, tea, milo, coffee) or plain condiments (salt and soy sauce), and milkfish (sinigang) if we are lucky to have extra budget. Fortunately, our economical status somehow elevated with the diligence of my mother and brother. So now, I can say that we can somehow get by daily.
Then where's the broccoli in my story? Here goes, during childhood, I was often hungry so I am thankful when my friends brought me to their houses after school. We where so famished that we ate anything because as a child, we kinda hate vegetables that time. But after I took a bite of that juicy and crunchy little tree, my perspective broadened :)) Woah, this is not so bad. With that, broccoli holds a special room in my heart. Hunger taught me the value and savory taste of vegetables.
I was the one who cooked dinner awhile ago so I took photos while I'm on it. Home cooking is fun but I don't like cooking daily. It's quite the hassle. Our lovely mother mostly cooked our meals but I occasionally cook for them.
I don't have the particular name for this dish so let's call it
****'Little tree ala belly'.****
Here are the ingredients that I used.
Pork belly
Broccoli
Onions
Oyster Sauce
Salt and pepper
Cornstarch
Chili powder
I started by frying the pork belly using its own fats, I like my meat close to being roasted so I took my time and cooked it in low fire.
That's how I like it :)) But I like it a little more browner. Then add some onion. But in my case, I was not able to add one because we run out of stock haha.
Then mix the broccoli, add some water, cover it, then wait for about 5 minutes for it to be cooked. I enjoy my vegetables half cooked so that it's crunchiness will still remain.
Start by adding condiments, I don't have exact measurements because I just pour the condiments until my instincts tell me to stop :))
I added 2 scoops of soy sauce 😉
Poured sachet of oyster sauce.
Our food is nearly cooked so I added salt of pepper to taste.
I am also guilty of being fond of spicy food so I never forget to add chili powder whenever I cook. My siblings oftentimes complain about the spiciness of my cooking but I don't bother with them because they can cook if they want, but they are to lazy to help.
I also add cornstarch to make the sauce thicker but I added it too late. I already put too much water so I didn't dilute it in H2O before adding it to the pot.
Don't forget to taste test and your ready to serve :))
My arrangement is kinda messy but this is home cooking so I didn't bother much ✌️ Call the family, and your ready to eat 💛 Yuuuuum😋
We asians love rice and it was always a part of our meal😉
Serving size for 8 person. This Broccoli ala belly is our dinner and breakfast or until lunch. Depends on when it can be finished 😂
In truth, our family don't eat as one so I ate by myself 😢 Kinda sad but I guess I'm used to it. Sorry for the gloom, that complicated story is for next time.
Writing with full stomach, EvilWillow 🥴🥴
Author’s Insight
What kind of writer are you? Journalist? Lyricist? Poet? Satirist? Short story writer? Librettist? Or novelist? There are many types of writers but we are not obliged to be bound in one criteria.
If you don't mind, I would like to share my thoughts in writing a book. (though writing articles is also fun ^^)
Here goes,
**Platform to consider and tips for career**
I recommend starting with **Wattpad** because it has already billion of users across the globe. It is a free app with free books so it was well used. I tried **Webnovel** and **Dreame** but publishing your book as a new writer on several platforms would be detrimental. Why? Because plagiarism is rampant and starting with one platform is the be best option for budding career. Wattpad has plenty of opportunities but it has also lots of competitor. Billions of books and the ratio with a new writer is one is to billions. Competitions is stiff so you should first focus on finishing one book and enter it in competitions afterwards.
Also, be careful with spammers. They message you and encourage you to write on their platform with exclusive contracts. But beware, because exclusive contracts will swipe you from the ownership of your own book. When publishing, copyrights are already automatically tagged on your book and by entering contracts for measly sums would snatch the opportunity for your career to bloom.
Take this for example, if you happen to received offers like this, it is only right to respond politely. Of course not all offers are a scam so there's no harm in trying. In order to avoid danger for your book, you should also do your part as the author and search feedbacks on the net. Find out if the platform you decide to sell your book is legit. There are already lots of writers who experienced it so they have already posted their thoughts in order to protect their fellow writers from getting scammed. Some platforms are legit but please do a double take before deciding to make a contract with them.
But if you decided to take the risk, I will tell you my experience. I tried Dreame and received a pending contract for my book but the editor wanted me to change my plot. She told me that adding more romance would widen my scope of readers so I tried to comply. But as we exchange more emails, her demands increased and I just don't have the patience to respond anymore so I politely rejected her advances and deleted my book on their platform. It's a bad idea to change plot in the middle of writing your book because doing so is as good as changing the whole book. I love my books so I decided to pace myself slowly and finish it. It is much better to finish the books first before complying on tweaking some changes.
*So finish the book first before taking the risk to form contracts.*
**Completed books**
If you happen to have a completed book, consider editing it and passing it on traditional publishing houses. If you have penny to spare, then you can hire editor but take note, editors are also picky. They don’t just edit, they gauge if your book has potential. So the most you can do is doing major self-edits before giving it to an editor or passing it to some publishing house. There are lots of tips on youtube so I recommend you watching them.
It is hard to be a writer with no background so I could only encourage you with writing my measly knowledge that I gathered in my eight months of venture on the writer’s world.
**Experience as an author in Wattpad**
Writing a book is fun. I am elated when readers give continuous votes on every chapter of my novel. It really boosts my confident into believing that I also can be that someone who motivates others. Being acknowledge by someone gives a positive feeling. I really appreciate it when readers give me continuous votes.
In truth, I am a dreamer. Dreamer and visionary is a similar word but worlds apart in reality. Being a visionary makes one walk their talk while being a dreamer is more like thinking of success without doing anything. It has always been my dream to make my book into reality but I am too lazy to walk my dreams. Passion can only boost me on the short run.
Receiving ranks motivates me to write more and be lost on the zone specially when I was given single digit numbers. But in truth, I am not an awesome writer. I just rode the current to have more reads and rank. Being an awesome writer is one of my goals. Take J.K.Rowling as an example, she made the trend "fantasy" popular. She didn’t ride the current like I did (Historical-Fantasy is popular today so I wrote my genre into that) Someday, I wish to be the trend setter like she did.
Those are the 2 books I created, as you can notice, the other one has more recognition. The first reason is that, VW (Villain’s Will) is written in English while 8SR (8 Seconds Rule) is written in my local dialect, Tagalog. The next reason is the trend. I mentioned earlier that VW is a fantasy-romance-historical genre while the 8SR is a Fantasy-thriller-supernatural-high school genre. I believe that in time, 8SR will be discovered but it was almost 7 months and it has been stuck with 500 reads. As an author I need to reflect on the why’s in order to have my book more readers but it is difficult because I have to change the language in order to broaden the scope for my readers. But I will not do it, because there are jokes that can’t be translated in English so I guess I’ll just stick to it and wait for the genuine readers to notice it. The only path for the 8SR to succeed is to complete it because readers want completed books more than the on-going ones. So this will be my last strand of hope hehe.
Receiving comment and messages is also fun. Being added in their reading list is awesome but as an author, I will be saddened if my book will be labelled in derogatory terms.
As a person, I am ashamed that I retaliated in the spur of a moment. I can’t help being defensive because the reader has labeled her other reading list with awesome ones but my book was classified on her “normal” reading list and has even a “sh*t” on it.
So that is my feedback on her message board. I knew that I am being childish and it was only a small matter but I did pick a fight nonetheless. I am ashamed for myself. I knew that I still lack plenty of things in my writings but I would try my best for this not to happen again. I am aware that I can’t please everyone so the best move for me is to improve and improve so that I could confidently say "my book is the best and I believe that we only have different tastes in genres".
Sometimes, acknowledgement is all it takes for amateur writers like me to continue writing and improve. Small feedbacks are really helpful on the writer’s career. We write for free and being bashed is not the most likable on our situation.
Writing in hopes that you also read my books, EvilWillow ^^
'Meat' the last words of Sasha Braus: Attack on Titan Final Season
We all treasure the Scout regiments from attack on titan and their deaths was really heartbreaking to us. Marco was the first to die and no one saw him to his end, only to find out that it was Annie Leonhart who killed him. After the battle of capturing Annie, Scout Mike Zacharias died at the introduction of the Beast Titan, followed by Ymir on the next episodes, but her death didn't brought me much sadness unlike the next death at the Final season, episode 8. The next to die was Commander Erwin, the brains of the regiment but his death was a scaffold for the budding talent of Armin.
While browsing facebook earlier, a post forced me to watch the latest episodes of the final season.
Like what theeeee? The funny girl whom I adore just died.
The latest episode in attack on titan is really heartbreaking. We all know Sasha Braus as the innocent girl that prioritizes food over her wellbeing, she specially liked to eat potatoes and meat. She dreamed that someday, peace will be restored and the lands that extended beyond the walls will be conquered. Meat has became one of the luxury foods behind the walls due to its shortage and her goal was to let everyone have an abundant amount of meat on their meals. She was born from a hunter background so she was brought up by the savory meats but the attack on wall Maria drove them further inside making it impossible to hunt on the forests.
I saw those who died on the battlefield as a gallant death and I glorified them in passing so the unexpected death of Sasha was surprising. I thought they would die an honorable death like commander Erwin but I was surprised at the spin off.
Marleyan kids managed to board the fleeing airships and killed Sasha Braus at the first shot. They were caught up on victory and the safety made them lower their guard. It was only Sasha's hunter instinct that sensed the infiltration but no one else heard her so she didn't put much thought and this bit them back. Kids boarded the craft and managed to kill her huhuhuhu.
According to Jean, "Meat" was the last words of Sasha and the flashback of them gathering to the meat Sasha stole came to their minds. This memory hunted Eren because it was his plan as a revenge to the Marleyans who always invaded the walls with their titan.
*Note in passing: Annie Leonhart, Reiner, and Bertholt was raised with Marleyans idealism and the kid who killed Sasha also has a strong belief on those twisted ideals.*

Trafalgar D. Water Law: Wallpaper
Dubbed as the **"Surgeon of Death"**, I find Trafalgar as one of the charismatic character in One Piece. One reason is that he came when Luffy almost died during the battle of Marineford but what I like most is his ability *shambles*. That's downright cool for me hehe. I also find it funny during his banter with Ceasar, the scientist.
It has been a long time since I watched OP so my input is kinda lacking (I stopped at the start of Wano Arc). I just made this article because I was reminded of Trafalgar while I was browsing the net.
Here are some of his awesome portrays courtesy of the owner.
Bitter Sweet Friendship
Have you ever experienced suddenly drifting away with your closest friend? We all have our fair share of drama regarding friendship but let me tell you mine.
This story was eating away at my very person until now and I hope that by speaking my mind to different audience would at least lessen the guilt that's weighing me for the longest time.
Stepping into a new environment is a real challenge to us, that place is called school. Whilst everything around us is new, we tried our hardest to adapt and that's when we build bonds with our classmates. Two years of friendship in college all ended just because of a misunderstanding. We tried to patch things up after we fought (more like a cold war because we started not talking to each other) but we're both too awkward to leave the problem behind. It was not reconciled, we did nothing, we just started not talking. I was the gloomy kid so no one particularly made an effort to get closer to me. Of course I tried to be friendly with them but what's the use when they won't meet you halfway? I am not that desperate to have someone beside me at all times so I distanced myself and silently wallowed in self pity.
After our friendship was over, I noticed how people also stopped approaching me. That's when I realized, *"Oh, it was because of her that people are even talking to me"*. That was very painful to me at that time. That phase was my darkest during my college days. I started not attending my classes partly because we were classmates majority of the sessions. Yeah, we were together during enrollment that's why we have the same sched haha.
I am painted with envy, I was bitter, angry, and sad, at some point, I even wished to have the charisma surrounding her. At the same time, I'm pained to see that she was doing fine with a new set of friends while I seemed to be the only one petty for dwelling on the past. It was also awkward talking to her during group activities so I just kept quiet, casted down my eyes, and did my part without much interaction.
At that time, I really wanted to quit because there was no one I could speak with. I'm the type of person who felt good after sharing my thoughts so I was crazed with the negativity and the piling burdens inside of me.
Going back, due to poor eyesight, (I don't have money to buy glasses) I can't seat at the very back of the class that's why I opted to be at the corners of the middle row. They thought I was the silent kid but I am the otherwise. I am a talkative person at the right person. It would be really weird if I suddenly approached them in a zealous manner when I am barely acquainted to them so I just smile and give a curt reply whenever they comment on how silent I was.
Thankfully the semester ended with me not failing but barely passing. Then here comes the new semester and there comes my blessings.
I only met her during my maths, she was my seatmate, but we were not close enough to say hi. We only have a decent conversation during the grade giving. After seeing that we have the same barely passing grade, we laughed at our own foolishness. We both are not that good in math :))
After that, we both are in the same classes for our major subjects. When someone teases me (more like saying hurtful things), she always defend me. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder *"how can she be that sincerely kind? How was she able to help a total stranger? How can she be a fighter and at the same time, friendly? How was she able to bear with the gloomy me?"* Those are some parts that I love about her. She always has my back, she always want my happiness, she always make sure I was not left behind, she made me feel that I'm not alone, she was the bridge that encouraged me to take a chance once again. I almost gave up on other people but she made me realize lots of things. What made our friendship strong is that we both have the same mindset. Mildly pure and mostly malice, just kidding.
I want to be the same person like her so I took another shot and restarted to kindle ties. Unfortunately, I was late for one semester so the moment didn't last long. We were once again on different classes. Fortunately, I made other close friends when I was with her, it was a boy and a girl. They were so goofy that I was always having a blast because of them. I didn't expect to be close with them but I was glad I was able to enter their life. Then come a surprise, I befriended the miss friendly of the whole batch, I am not aware how but it just happened.
The first, I learned pain and lost my self
The second I regained my confidence and started to look ahead in life
The third made me realize to take things easy, to loosen up (not laze around the class but kinda)
The forth brought me laughter's
The most important things is that I also learned that there are always someone who will support me even if they are not around. They are the people who I befriended along the way and I cannot find the right words to express my gratitude. I am thankful to all of them. I cannot mention them one by one because they are another set of beautiful memories to be told for another time :))
I hope with this, I can finally face everyone without any negative thoughts. May it be guilt, pain, regret, sadness. I also hope that someday, I can be that one friend that they would lean on similar to how they gave me strength unknowingly.
Writing in joy, EvilWillow 🤗
Paluwagan Challenge
**What is Paluwagan?**
Here in the Philippines Paluwagan challenge was never forgotten every year but only a few succeeds. Paluwagan is similar to the words "to ease up", "make less tight", "to loosen", "relax", "to make less firm". The idea usually include group of people pooling their money into a savings and then distributing the total ammount at the end of the year. The Paluwagan usually has a system of lending-saving. The member of the group can withdraw their money so that whatever financial problem burdens her will "loosen up" but ofcourse she must not forget to pay back so she can get her fixed money by the end. One of the perks of Paluwagan is that it has no interest because it was you and your friends money to begin with. That is the essence of Paluwagan.
At the start of January, we encourage our selves to save money. Saving money is hard specially when the budget is tight. Some family don't even have a cents to spare because the fund was spent with daily needs.
**What will be the result of your saving?**
The challenge goes like this, the said person save a fixed amount of money daily and by the end of a year, he was expected to save a fixed amount depending on the amount of money he chose. Now, I had mentioned that Paluwagan usually deals with a group of person. But how will we term it if one person only does it? I guess it can still fell with the term paluwagan but it will more likely right to say that it was self earning hehe.
Here are the paluwagan challenge that never gets old*.*
*P.S We will be using Philippine peso as a reference :))*
Starting with 5 pesos. Ideally, students and children were the target subject for this amount. But still, anyone can start with a price they could afford. Andres Bonifacio is the one who resides on the current coin of Ph. He was a Filipino revolutionary and the president of tagalog rebublic. This might bore you if I introduce everyone on the Philippine currency so I'll make it short and present to you the fixed amount of savings you will earn through the everyday challenge.
Not to worry, we also have weekly challenge if you have doubts on dedicating yourself to the daily challenge. But if you also want a bigger challenge, you can do the weekly challenge with a bigger amount ^^
Try 50 if you can :))
How about a hundred every week?
200 might be big but yes, you can :))
Well this is big for an unemployed like me, but why not?
Oh my, the amount can set you to a small business.
**Why do you even save money?**
For me, I save money to travel :)) that is one of my goal after giving back to my parents.
How about you?
**After thoughts**
I had mentioned in my earlier thought that **some only succeeded with the challenge**. By looking at it, I can see that this is an easy task but NO. I tried doing this countless of times but I failed as many times as I tried. Saving money is hard specially when emergencies happens because you know that you have a hidden stash that backs you. A tip for myself and also for you who is reading this, **cultivate the proper mindset before starting.**

TUPAD- TUlong Para sa Ating Displaced worker
TUPAD is a project of Department of Labor to at least help the people during the pandemic. Simply say, part time work for a pay. The application might be thoroughly picked due to limited slots but this stood as a great help for us somehow.
I was thankful that I have been chosen so far and I was happy to receive my salary today. I bought myself a box of donut and of course I didn't forget to give back to my mother and take out some presents :))
I was enjoying my cravings while re-watching one of my favorite anime.
For the past seven days that we had a clean up drive on our own barangay, I felt the fatigue because of the labor but at the same time, I felt the satisfaction after looking at how clean we had accomplished. It was just pleasing to the eye ^^
Our barangay was surrounded by trees privately owned by camp John Hay and I was glad to be part of this place. Due to its nature, grasses would surely grow with the fertile land and it would be overgrown if no one tends to it. Thus, making it our responsibility to clean our own surrounding.
We always endure the smell of pollution because we're on the side of the road, our muscles are sore, our feet has shallow cuts, our fingers were pricked, but even so, I say that this work is worth for its pay :)) Below is the comparison of the above picture before we cleaned it.
Time to clean ^^
This was us cleaning some parts along the road. Work is really tiring but at least we were not under the strong sun.
This is the inner part of the forest that had been brighter than usual. I failed to take pictures while it was still overgrown with grass but I can totally appreciate how well cleaned it was.
I say, I am blessed with the beauty of the place I've been born at.

It's zombie from me. After all. its not a farfetched idea. Everything can happen with change and we can't deny evolution. Even if we don't want to, our physique change in order to adapt to our environment. Because if we don't.. who knows.
Sometimes I just watch tear jerking story just for fun but this anime really dug to the deepest part of my heart. Pain and sadness clearly manifests the humans deepest emotions. Kabaneri is one of my favorite anime that I would never tire from.
**Graphics**
I always check the quality of anime before I watch one. The ql of Kabaneri is just superb. The fighting scenes were super elaborated and natural to watch.
**The Plot**
The story goes as Ikoma, the male lead, was turned into a kabane (zombie for short) but before the virus could take over his brain, he strangled himself to stop the virus. Thus he became neither a human nor a kabane. He's in the middle and was called a kabaneri (has the body of a kabane and the mind of a human).
The world has been plagued with the kabanes so humans hid behind Iron fortresses and mainly used trains for transportation. Kabanes were not the only enemies though, their are also enemies within. Human greed was portrayed in the story and stations were taken over by kabanes because of this selfish thoughts.
Without much choice, people abandoned their stations because it was no longer possible to live in given that it has been taken over by kabanes.
A single promise anchored the story, to turn the female lead back into human. With this in mind, the party travelled to retake their home from the kabanes and achieve their own dreams. What awaits them? Death (this saddened me the most but it was to be expected seeing that its a zombie story), happiness, grief, various emotions that would lead them to who they are.
This was really a good story :))

Keeping Pets 'till the End
Do you have a pet? Dog, cat, bird? Monkey, Rabbit?
I once owned rabbits that's why I was saddened at what I encountered a while ago. Above was a picture of my bunny.
It happened while we were cleaning the neighborhood's forest. While uprooting grasses on the side of the road, I smelled something awful so I told my companions "Ugh, it reeks of dead rat" *(Original statement: Argh, amoy patay na daga).* Knowing that there is something behind the thick foliage, I took my time and slowly uprooted the grass.
Due to the news about the rampant salvaging in out region, I was kinda nervous and even subconsciously imagined it to be some bloody limb. But that was just me being over dramatic.
When I cleared the foliage, I saw a white plastic bag behind the bushes. Upon closer examination, I realized that it was a dead rabbit. Its body was covered by a plastic but its head is sticking out so I was able to recognize it right away.
I am truly disappointed, because whoever was the owner of the poor bunny should have at least buried it as a respect to the departed. I may be making a fuss over this but, come on, we were surrounded by the forest. There are lots of places to bury it, but why does the owner simply threw it away without giving a proper goodbye? Inside a plastic bag at that?
This is the tombstone we created on the inner part of the forest. Farewell amigo.
We could only dig a shallow grave because this were the only tolls we have at hand. Pls give a proper burial to our pets. I am not saying that there should be a grand funeral but at least don't just simply dispose it by the side of the road. Its saddening.

22 years of existence
**How old are you this year?**
I woke up one day and realized that I'm already 22 years old. Well you can say that 22 is just the right age to start something but how if I say that I'm 22 and have nothing in my name? To be honest I'm still dependent to my mother even after I finished my bachelor's degree.
**Have you already taken the first steps of your dream?**
The first step of my dream was to take the licensure exam in order to have a professional license but I can not blame anyone for this misfortunate pandemic. All of us are affected and for me, my licensure exams were postponed from march 2020 to march 2021. Hopefully, it won't be postponed this time :))
**Are your half way there?**
**Or are you at the peak of your success?**
Share your answers below :))
**What did you achieve at 22?**
In this photo was Gregorio H. del Pilar, one of the national hero of the Philippines. At the young age of 22, he was able to free Bulacan province from the colonization of Spaniards. Then how about us? I'm laughing at the irony of this but at the same time, I was saddened at my pathetic self. Indeed, the circumstances are different but even so, I'm ashamed to admit that I had achieved nothing.
Please note that I do not have a grudge to anyone nor any country because of history. Forgive me if you are offended by the photos or my words.

Loose Screw: Poem for the Ladies
What's wrong with you?
You do but you don't?
One step forward
One mile back?
Lunacy, the perfect word for you
Or is it being choosy?
Aho girl, make up your mind
'cause this might be the last
Who knows?
Might as well bring it on
Or are you that afraid?
Nah, your just that apathetic
To those kind souls
Please save these ladies
They're not getting any younger
Instead, going old and being cold
Oh poor souls,
Thoughen up and bring it on
There's not much to loose
Perhaps if in luck, only a limb or two?
Well that doesn't matter,
Someone will restore it for you
If not now maybe someday
Just trust in fate that it will happen soon
Or not?
Then turn that speaker on
Call the gang
And party hard like the loser you are
G, Canton party 🥳🎉💐

Must have Treats in Baguio City, Ph
Where are the places you must go when in Bagui0? The typical Burnham park? Mines View? Right park? Of course you must visit those places. But how about you're stomach?
Here are places you must consider when you have a sweet tooth like me :))
**Volante's Choco Vanilla Affair**
Located at upper session, Volante was known for its quite pricy foods. The only thing I can recommend with a budget friendly food for us commoners is this affair. It taste like brownies on the under and then topped with vanilla ice cream. Thus, the name, Choco Vanilla. The brownies is fresh from the oven added with the frozen ice cream that melts as soon as you dug your spoon. For its price, I say that its worth it. **It costs 115 pesos (2-3 dollars)**
**50's Dinner Chocolate Parfait**
The towering ice cream with lots of garnish on it can also be found at upper session, inside Porta Vaga Building. Eating dessert after a full meal is just satisfying. Yum. I admit that with its price, you can buy a tab of ice cream and enjoy it at your comfort but eating it on a cozy place is another sense of satisfaction :)) I recommend couples to dine here but of course a full meal with the family is also fun. **It cost 135 pesos, around 2-3 dollars**
You can also try other flavors. This ube parfait cost 95 pesos or 2 dollars.
**Good Taste's Cake**
It might look simple from the photo but worry mot, its taste won't disappoint you. I guarantee that this whole cake is just the right taste for your family or friends. Its not that sweet and you can enjoy the moist bread like brownies :)) Okay, I think I nedd to expand my vocabulary about food lol. Its an ideal food when you try to have a picnic by the burnham lake. You won't be lost because their building really stand out when you're near the park. **The cake cost 475 pesos, around 9-10 dollars.**
**Town Pizza (I personally like beef)**
Of course when we're talking about about picnic, we can't exclude this laman-tyan extra budget friendly for the masa (large number of people) The rectangle pizza cost 130 pesos (2-3 dollars) and the regular circle pizza cost 95 pesos (2 dollars)
They are also selling cassava pies if your interested. **It cost 130 pesos or 2 and a half USD**
**Minute Burger**
The Minute burger stall is beside the good taste, might as well try it for its low price. With 35 pesos at hand. you can buy 2 burgers already (buy 1 take 1) but if you had extra change, might as well upgrade it to any serving to your liking :))
**Sisig Station**
This is not really a treat but I just want to include this if you ever happen to visit Baguio. This is our staple food during collage days haha. I personally like spicy chicken sisig added with siomai and of course we can't leave behind its amazing garlic sauce. Give this a shot:)) Sisig 60 pesos, Siomai 5 pesos each, kalamansi free haha
I hope you visit those places because I assure you that you wont be disappointed nose. Lol
Till next time, share your thoughts below if you are interested for more :))

Tower of God: Anime Review
**What do you desire?**
Honor and pride? power and influence? Or is it wealth, health, and success? For me, I desire the last three so bad but I'm too lazy to make it happen. Maybe laziness is not the right term but I guess I lack the guts? Whenever things get harder to accomplish, I unknowingly back away just like a coward and boast the things I achieved even if in truth. what I gained was worth nothing.
Have you ever sincerely desired for others to succeed? Me as a corrupted person admit that I never did that. I am happy for their success but I also envy them and started to want what they have but that is a story for another time.
For now, let us focus our male leads desire, to see the one who abandoned him and at the same time the one who found him when no one did. The Tower of God he attempts to climb could grant any wish after you climb all the way to the top. On his journey to see his beloved Rahel again, he braved the tower even if his life is always in danger. But what awaits him on the path he chose?
FFIENDS
Friends, a person who is not related to you by blood but still supports you. Along the way, he gained trustful nakamas that would do everything just to carve his path at the top of the tower.
BETRAYAL
This is a sad truth on the worlds they live in. The friends you thought will help you are the ones who will actually bring you down and the enemies you thought will actually the ones who will help you. Well, for me, we shouldn't really expect anything to our friends because they are not obliged to help us and that they also have a baggage they are carrying. I'm saying that we're matured enough to know that friendship in fiction and in real life are the same but also far from reality. It is now up to us on how to discern truth from the far fetched exaggeration of the words "friendship forever". Sorry if I offended anyone but that is a thought from a corrupted person namely, me.
**RATING THE ANIME AS A WHOLE**
I gave 2 star out of five. Why? Because the opening episodes didn't really caught my attention. I didn't even notice that the anime is ending because the suspense is only found at the last 3 chapters.
Though, I commend the mangaka for imparting plenty lessons through out the episodes. The reality of his message kinda put me in a rollercoaster of melancholy. boredom, smile, and irritation. What I also found funny the most is the only perverted character from the anime.
Yeah,the shivers, the telltale signs of being a pervert. The voice actor really did a good job.
**WHAT HAPPENED IN THE END?**
Oh yeah, this is the part that really pissed me off. I noticed that he's being a push over from start to finish but his wimpy-ness really made me mad. In the end, he got betrayed by his beloved and what he blamed was the system and not the person. Wow. too much of a goody two shoes. I, as a corrupted being, can't stand him.
Alright, this is the end of my pent up frustration slash irritation. The adaption kinda sucked. I'm not even thrilled to read it's manga version. Forget it, this left a bad taste on my taste bud.
Rachel (Ra-hell) the betrayer 🙄🔪
Top 5 Songs to my Liking
I hope you take time listening to the songs while reading this. Hit up and turn that volume up ! :))
**Why'd you only call me when you're high by arctic monkey cover by unknown artist**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1kRVwZXjxk
At first, I was just curios at the song because it has a haikyuu character as its cover photo but when I actually listened to it, deym, this is just superb! But also, I can somehow relate with the content. Indeed, I was left behind without even a proper goodbye. I tried to put it all in the past but as I healed with time, he kept calling me only when he's high. He drunk and kept on drunk chatting me without understanding that he was the one who actually left. Well, its all in the past. this was just an awesome song that brings up hidden memories.
**Arcade by Duncan Laurence**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBy0bFYSMxo
"Loving you is a losing game" Wow. I don't know where to start. They say that loving someone has always its up and down. But how if you love and you felt that what you're trying to build is actually a losing game? This is me, stopping already without even putting much of a fight because with love comes pain and I don't want my memories of you to be full of pain. When I look back to it in the future, I hope to laugh at the memories not to grimace at the pain that was brought to myself.
**Snowman by Sia**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ikakT1sEQg
Truthfully, I was attracted to the song because it was on season lol. I've been listening to the song since Christmas 2020 up to now. What hit me in the song was the sincerety of Mrs. Snowman to his lover. Saying that she'll never leave him and that Snowman has always a home to get back to. Cheering him up is just so lovely.
**Producer Man by Lyn Lapid**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CkyBxZNtCI
Basically, the beat got me hooked up :)) This songs are also trending in tiktok. I can't really connect much with the lyrics but I can somehow relate through work experience. In the work place, you can't really say your mind specially when your a lower worker, all you can do majority of the time is to nod your head in agreement and follow what your boss tells you.
**Broken Bones by Greta Svabo Bech**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqqxOlIjQjc
I don't know if I'm just from the boonies but I only recently discovered how amazing Greta's songs are. The acoustic is so chilling accompanied by her voice equals to magnificence. What I actually enjoyed was the melody lol.
Hope you liked the recommendations, share your thoughts on the comment box if we share the same taste :))

Goodness gracious, why does sleep not engulf me to its embrace? I've shut my eyes for about 5 hours now. I think I had developed a bad habbit of sleeping at day break🤦♀️
I'll start my part time job tomorrow at 9am and it's already freaking 1:38 am here.
I say sleep and my mind says, nah, lez party all night 😭
Have a great day everyone
SSS-class Suicide Hunter: Manhwa
What is your talent?
Being talented doesn't mean that one can easily assume the limelight. I may be talented at cooking but so what? Others can also have the same talent, if not the same but better. Anyways, have you pondered "not being afraid of death" as a talent?
Well that is only applicable in fiction.. I guess. But if you have the same talent as our protagonist, Kim-Zombie, then I will label you the honored title **Daredevil**.
At first, grimace was written on my face as I was reading the first chapters of the manga but worry not, things are getting more interesting as the plot goes by. After wanting to be just like the others, our male lead was granted an SSS+ skill by the dungeon.
*(Pardon me but I'm assuming that you somehow have idea about Virtual reality plot on games, movies, anime, etc. comment if you're lost :)) I'll gladly be of hand))*
At first, he was not sure on how the skill work because the requirements need him to die first before he could copy the skill of his murderer. He thought it was just a nonsense but was proven worthy not long after he was killed by the villain above.
Then how can he stop the villain from killing him and some innocent civilian? Of course Kim Zombie just need to turn back time. But how? It was to kill himself thousand of times to get to the point before the villain acquired his skill.
To top it all, his goal is to take over the tower slash dungeon. To be someone he admired with a good character.
Woops, did you thought that was the end? That was just the end of my boring litany. Honestly, I'm rolling in laughter even now because of some scenes I found hilarious. Take a look at these.
The mangaka really did a good job at portraying the muscle-brain type of character.
Not only could we have a good laugh, but we could also pick some lesson :))
Oh boy, the banter between these two really put me in good spirit. Find out more by reading. Here's the sauce, I hope you had a fun time reading. Share your thoughts if you're done :)) I'm all ears.
Currently, it has 20 chapters as of January 8, 2021.

Bamboo Forest, Baguio City, Ph
Have you ever dreamed of visiting Japan one day? That you'll be able to experience their culture first hand and not only through second hand experience? Why Japan anyways? Of course there are also other places that boast equivalent beauty but for now lets settle for some budget friendly look alike. Here is some awesome shots on my locality. Hope you visit💛
This is Saint Xavier's Seminary located at Liteng, Baguio City, Philippines. This is one jeepney away from town that can took 10 to 15 minutes depending on the traffic. The place might not emit a very eye catching aura but there's a hidden paradise located at its rear.
Welcome to the entrance. Pardon that hooman because I failed to take a picture without a subject on it. I went there during Christmas, a peak season, so I was not able to take a nice picture.
Remember: Don't hog a place with your companies because there are also others who came for the aesthetic just like you :))
As you can see at my back, there is a pavilion that serves as a resting place for the visitors. Of course we can't forget to take a picture on this. Here's a goofy shot of me highlighting my nonexistent booty.
Next is the mini zoo that has a monkey. chicken and goose on it. He looked pitiful by his lonesome but what can I do.
After that is the ramp walk to go inside. I say ramp walk because this was like a runway for poor people like me who will never get the chance to walk on a limelight lit extra legit Hollywood runway.
So this is me getting ahead of myself and acting like a pro :// A little tinkering and voila, you had a profile picture ready for your social media account.
I'm also a fan of photography to the point that I make do with every little thing. Beyond the runway are chairs and tables set for you to have a rest too.
Here's a spot that is group friendly. Let your comrades take their places and voila, you have a happy picture. Well, not unless you are tasked with capturing the picture. I'm tempted to hire a cameraman already because when I came here with my family, I was the only one taking the initiative to take a picture. So sad, lol.
There they are, all happy without me. Lol. just kidding.
At least I'm happy by myself. Jk. So have you had plans where to bring your lover? I recommend you to come and visit my hometown. But remember, it is best to visit not during the holidays.
Baguio City, Philippines has lots of place to offer. Comment below if you want other recommendations :)) I still have plenty of list to recommend.
Into the woods.

Self Reflection
I hope you take time reading this :))
🌺PSYCHOLOGY says;
**1. If a person laughs too much, even at stupid things, he is lonely deep inside.**
Sometimes a curt check with a friend is what it took to cure a bit of that darkness. She might look funky on the outside but is actually hurting, she can't just find the right outlet to bring it up. 🤗
**2. If a person sleeps a lot, he is sad.**
Even I do sleep a lot specially when I have nothing to do but there is a difference on the said context. But you know what I mean😆 Might as well do some self reflection, who knows, you might also be one, you are not just aware.
**3. If a person speaks less but very fast, he keeps secrets**.
Now this is what I don't know, I'm practically bad at catching up lies so I don't do well with deceit.
**4. If someone becomes angry over silly or petty things, he needs love.**
This, I had personally experiences. I know that I'm a grumpy kid but after meeting lots of people, my crankiness had mellowed down. Friends made me into a better me that could face my family.
Happy new year ;))
Nagomi Spa, Baguio City; a Review
How is work? Personal life? Is it hectic? Is it tiresome? I suppose it's a yes. Stress keeps building up, fatigue keeps adding up, and you just wanna tuck yourself away and forget everything, but worry not :)) There's nothing wrong in being lavish for once.
I'm not simply justifying my unfounded laziness but it's a half truth. Take it easy. Here at Nagomi Spa, I experienced a four star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well, why four not five? First off, I commend their awesome interior design. The entrance might be quite small but the aesthetic is just superb. Every angle has its charm! They even serve free tee that of the color violet. I was not able to ask the flavor because the staffs keeps disappearing at their hole.
Yeah, that's the reason why I gave them a 4 star. Their accommodation is kinda lax. We had trouble finding anyone just to ask why the shower is not working. But overall, their service is fine specially the masseur. She emits certain charm that makes you relax just fine.
Overall, I liked their sauna the most. The ambiance is so cozy and I liked that there is no protruding pointed ends on the woods lol. Certainly, this is a must have when in Baguio City.
Their service might not be student friendly but at least I was able to enjoy. It cost 475 Php for a combination whole body massage btw. Still, the budget is student friendly. A heads up for you :))
My saving's gone, Willow lol
How you lost her
She's willing to give it a shot
Yet you insist on being indecisive
She gave it her all
Yet you brush it off like it's a given
You assessed her worth
Even made her as a choice
A test on who's better
And failed to see how she stood by you even if the world didn't
You cheated
She gave you a chance to explain
You lied
But she already know the truth.
Pressured by her peers, she still defended you
Lied, manipulated, and cheated
That's what you did
But she still want you
Things could still work out
Yet you're the first to leave
Left the bonds you build
And cut the ties you created
Now that she has given up, you knocked after a year
She entertained you as a polite response to a friend
But you still saw her as someone smitten by you
Downright mistaken, you no longer have a place in her life
You're utterly wrong, she no longer care
She's no longer that ever self conscious woman
She was no longer that feeble vessel who usually ask
'Where did it go wrong?' Then blamed herself.
Thus she realized
Indifference, the antonym of love
She's now free from those confines
And now, she's relieved, thankful and most of all, BLESSED.

A reminisce.. Trip magdrama?
A random thought for today :))
Back after that word of downvoting
I just hope that I made the right choice of blocking those I suspect, too much for a subscriber 🙄
Lovelots, EvilWillow 🤗
Down Voting
Henlo. It is I, Willow, with a tinge of curiosity.
I'm just wondering, I'm far from being FAMOUS but why do I get a down vote? It started when I noticed one of my short post to have Zero '0' on it. I thought it was just a one time thing seeing that It was dated 4 moths ago, but I was wrong.
I took a break for 2 months so I was not sure when did it happen. When I got back from posting my articles, I thought it was only my imagination when my recent articles got 4 votes turned to 3 then to 2. It turns out that my hunch is TRUE.
This is a screenshot that my friend sent to me (a week ago) that made me get back to readcash. And in this picture clearly spoke that it has 4 votes.
And when I was recently browsing my articles, I noticed that my votes were being down voted. This is the proof, it is my current vote (12-08-2020) It has now 3 votes.
I'm not being petty for a mere 1-2 vote but please, STOP MAKING READCASH A TOXIC PLACE. We don't do it here 🙂 Just mind your own business and write your own article. Why must you do it in the first place? Are you jealous of those who does better than you? Are you that insecure? We pour effort in creating one and you easily ruin it by clicking that hateful button. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND DOWN VOTING MY EVERY ARTICLE BY THE WAY.
We are enjoying readcash as a place to share our likes and passion while staying anonymous, without having to worry on being judged by someone that knew you.
PLEASE STOP SPREADING HATE. You make me sick. It may be harsh but PEOPLE LIKE YOU DISGUST ME.
Congratulations, I hope you're happy with what you're doing. Wabyu💛
LOVELOTS, EvilWillow🤗🙂
A Trip to the Salon
Sometimes when we had enough, we gather our courage and made a decision to fortify our will to change. This is where we modify our hair, cut it, flatten or curl, does a little trimming, or color it to make it livelier. We do this because we want to change something. A change to make ourselves better.
But for me, I often cut my hair when I want to forget someone. Indeed, what a loser when it comes to love. I guess I'm just not enough? Eme. I didn't even confess so yeah, I cut ties with my crush HAHAHAHA so childish.
This time, I was bored. So I decided to enter a salon. Oooompf, guess what's the result?
It is I on the mirror but meh, this is only the bleaching part fufu. At this time, I am really worried because I can't feel that it suits me. Gash, look at that golden color. It frightened the living day lights out of me.
So I contemplated a bit more and bam, I lost it. I let them handle what color suits me because I'm a failure at girly staff 🥺 And they settled with this color, V-something ash. The people on the parlor is nice, they cheered on me saying that I should flaunt it because this is a great color and this is what their art work so I should be proud of it. Walk with confidence something like that.
I'm not really good at decision making staff. Specially major decisions 🥺 So this is the final outcome.
A lovely color but I think it doesn't suit me mwehehehe. When I got home, my brother let out a joke "what are you, a golden retriever?"
Yeah, yeah, bloody hell. Imma smack the living days out of him.
The same person 👇👇
Pardon my face but I had a good time criticizing myself and now I'm having a blast with this color. Mehehe
Ano to personal vlog? Eme. Personal growth 💛

Eve of December 1, 2020 in Baguio City, Ph
Henloooo, Willow on the go.
What does Baguio City's Christmas tree boasts this year 2020? I already have a stigma from the past years so I can't say my judgement was free from bias so I'll let you decide if this is pretty much worth it for it's budget.
This is what it looked like 1 week before the showcasing at the Upper Session. Quite desolate huh. And here I thought after glimpsing on it, 'there's still time, maybe they'll add something to make it more beautiful and interesting'. But I was wrong. Lols.
Well yeah, they added something but what the elk HAHAHAHA. It looked like a well constructed scaffold for me 🤭 So maybe then, it's true beauty will shine during the night?
Jaran, so that is how it looked like in the night. Not that bad. *Claps*
In addition, I was able to take an airial shot of SM Baguio's Christmas 🎄
Well, moving forward, the famous Session road was also decorated. Here's the shots I took while enjoying the view.
The Belen :))
A christmas decor lol
Session's decor HAHAHAHA
I apologize for I do not have something better to showcase but I hope the decorations will increase as the Christmas Eve draws near.
I enjoyed getting out today, just sharing.

Top 5 Must Read Manga
Hellooo there :)) Tired with cringe romance-shounens and now looking for some good laughs, action pack, underdog manga? Well, well, balon, balon, sage-level-manga-reader here to guide you again, char.
As I became too much exposed on this manga world, I came to avoid cringe female leads with toxic traits. So here are my recommendations hope you have fun :)) p.s this has little or close to none romance.
1. ELECEED
So here is our wimpy kid, Jiwoo, looking so weak right of the bat. Oops, this is not boring, I guarantee. What was really funny here is his encounters with Kaiden, a powerful ability user who will help him reach the apex of power.
Well, read more to understand, I guess? Mwehehehe. Have you seen a threatening cat before? How bout this?
2. Leveling Up by Only Eating
Here goes, the lead character was stricken with some rare disease (bulimic deficiency) which will lead to his death when he can't maintain a proper diet.
To address this issue, his physician recommended a virtual game, Athens, where senses are working. Yeah, senses. As in sense of taste, smell and everything.
A high quality virtual game to be exact, while on his way to taste some quality food he can't enjoy in real life, he's roped with fun pack adventure. The end char. This is Min Hyuk's avatar and his actual body if he lose weight. I guess?
3. Trash of the Count's Family
Of course, Isekai won't be forgotten on our list :)) Sleeping after reading a novel then getting up only to find out that you're inside a novel? It may be a cliche, but this is a cliche we never get tired off.
Cale, the read hed, was the trash of the family whereas he got killed right from the start by the supposed to be male lead, Choi Han, the black head. He simply wanted to avoid his bad end but he unknowingly become the male lead. Lols.
4. Kill the Hero
Yep, another isekai but this time, with a twist of reincarnation. Well, killing the hero seems to be a bad idea isn't it? But how if this hero is a deceitful one? Of course we'll antagonize it lol.
And this is where Woo-jin enters, betrayed and killed by the nasty hero, he was reincarnated at the beginning of the end eme. Feel that rage, put it in a page.. lol
5. Mashle
Last but not the least is Mash, not mushroom head but yeah, a mushroom head. This one here is one of my best favorite but you can only appreciate it when you reached the black and white level on manga. Indeed, those without color.
Woah, that's the attitude haha. He looked like mob from mob psych. Mash is a bug on the system where everyone has magic. A magicless user. Find out more by reading ✌️
Hit the comment section if you want a glimpse of my awesome library or if there is any specific genre you want me to recommend. I also have a list of subarashi anime if you want. Chat box is the key.
Press 👍 if you enjoyed lols, hope you liked it.

Basking with the Meowth
Henloooo :)) It is I, Willow, again. Which are you more fond of? A cat😺🐈 or a dog 🐶🐕? For me, I like both ^^ But as a fur parent, I just wanted to share some cute scenes with my pet. They don't a have fancy bread but I still like them :))
Mama Ming gave birth to 4 healthy babies. They are all cuddled together, sweet.
So here are their solo shots :)) First of with the I'm-on-top-of-the-fridge-chillin/ Kuya Ming
Followed by the oh-so-serious-one/ Black ming
Then the I'm-cute-cuddle-me-hooman/ Baby Ming (yeah, she's the smallest)
And lastly the I'm-playful-so-Ima-hunt-you-hooman/ Papa Ming (because he looked exactly like his father)
Yeah, just look at that sadistic face *laughters* He's having a blast, I tell you. Good thing I wore jeans so it didn't hurt much lols.
I was out, basking in the sun and when he got bored, he started clawing on me HAHAHA. Too bad, I have somewhere else to go so I was not able to spend much time during that time.
Hope you feel the same fondness with your pets ;)) Drop your thoughts below if you're also a fur parent 💛 A 🐈😺 or A🐶🐕

Ibagiw Festival, Culture and Arts
Henloo :)) It's Willow time 🥴 I've been away for 2 months now and I kinda miss writing new articles so I'm back I guess?
So here it is, this November 2020 in Baguio City, Philippines, an arts festival was held to depict the craftsmanship of our artisans in portraying our culture, particularly the native culture of Cordillera Administrative Region.
This is an overview if the close up is not enough ^^
This also caught my attention, it is named "the time keeper". Fork and spoon was used here :))
So let's be off with the paintings :)) Too bad I only captured a handful because I was busy taking a picture of myself 🤭✌️🥴
What are you waiting for, come and visit my hometown 💛 Char covid 😭
Comment your thoughts below :)) Have a great day ahead💛
