I quit my current job. Hoping that my decision was right. It's my first big decision this year anyway. 😅

@Expelliarmus30 2 January 2025

What's up everyone? I'm back after a long time ago. Happy New Year to all of you! And may this year will be a good year to all of us.

Get along again with my Friends and Classmates. Last Tuesday, **June 19, 2023** we practiced for our culminating activity which will also be held on the next day **June 20, 2023**. That day was the day we met again, me and all my classmates, after being separated for a long time.  If I remember it correctly, March 2023 is the last time my classmates and I see each other and this is the time we are complete. The months we didn't see each and everyone of us were the months we were all busy with our Practice Teaching.  It's about 4 months, so it's been quite a while. That's why on the day of our Practice, everyone was excited because we would finally see, be together and talk to each other again. Anyway, the only thing we practiced that day was the dance we were going to do for the closing ceremony.  It's a surprise dance for all of the visitors in our culminating activity, like the principals/the school heads, the dean, our college staff, faculties and professors and lastly our parents. After we practice the dance, we all start talking about the flow of the event, what we should do and everything we need to know for the culminating activity we will do or conduct. After all the things we need to accomplish on that day, that is the time that we can take pictures, talk and bond with our friends and classmates. So a lot happened that day because we really missed each other, especially our friends, friends in class.  We're making the most of the time we're still together because we know that in a few days, weeks, and months we will soon be going in separate ways, a path we'll choose for ourselves. And by the way the pictures above are some of the pictures I took and saved on Tuesday.  They are some of my friends from my 1st year college that up until now are still with me and we will end our college life together.  It's just sad because there is some missing from us, yes we have some classmates and friends who won't graduate at the same time as us, but even so, I know that even if we don't have them at the same time, they will still achieve their dreams at the right time. So that's all for today.  I would like to thank those people who will read this, thank you all so much guys.  Love lots. `This was first published on my Hive account.`

My Final Demonstration Teaching is Done! Last **June 7, 2023** my Final Demonstration Teaching was held at the school where I did Practice Teaching. A few weeks before the said date, I have did many preparations.  That's where I make my visual aids every day.  I am looking for any kind of papers, design, markers and everything that I can use to make my  visual aids or instructional materials looks better.  After that I cut it here, stick it there and what else.  I also print a lot of tarpapel.  For those who don't know what Tarpapel is, it's Tarpaulin made of Bond Paper.  My lessons are written there.  Doing that is also time consuming because apart from you being responsible for the format and lay out of your tarpapel, you will have to cut it and glue it one by one to form it.  My preparation also took almost 2 weeks for my visual aids or instructional materials. My PowerPoint presentation was made less than a week.  I'm already used to making PowerPoint presentations because I've been doing that before.  I just made my ppt more beautiful because it needs to be presentable, attractive but at the same time readable, readers can understand and the designs are not too overwhelming. I made my Detailed lesson plan as earlier as I can.  I also had it checked early but almost every day and it even came to the point that my final demo was only 1 day away but my Cooperating Teacher still wanted to change something in it.  I was a little frustrated because I am running out of time and then she still wanted to change something.  She also checks my lesson plan every day, but every day she changes something in it.  I once thought that why is she changing something in my lesson plan every day if it is possible that she can tell me to change at the beginning and I hope she has a day to correct all the mistakes in it so that I doesn't need to print a lesson plan every day.  Imagine that I print every day and that are about 3 weeks so I can't count how much I spent on the printing of lesson plan alone. And the most expensive of all is what I will cook in my Final Demo.  Yes, it said that I really need to cook because it can't just be a pure discussion, there must be an application in the lesson on both teacher and students.  I cooked meat dishes.  I was the one who spent all the necessary things there, for what I would cook as well as for my students.  I didn't just buy recipes because I also paid for all the materials needed for cooking.  So I spent a lot of money just here. And another is the food that I fed to the students that I used in my final demo.  I only gave them Juice and Mammon or Bread because I really ran out of money.  But I also gave them giveaways such as keychains, ballpens and chocolates.  I also spent on foods for the panels, the people who evaluated my final demonstration teaching. I spent several thousands on my Final Demo and I haven't calculated the total yet because I was too busy at that time.  But all I spent on my demo was debt.  I will tell the story of how and where I got into debt in my next articles. Finally, with all my sacrifices and hardships, I was successful in my Final Demonstration Teaching.  It was a good feeling while the panelist told me the word "congratulations" because I felt that all my efforts had paid off. And yes, my Final Demonstration Teaching was successful.  Thank you so much Lord for guiding me! Now, I'm just waiting for our graduation!  Hahahah. Thank you all so much for reading.

Tiring days just ended! I finally finished the tiring days of my life! It was only on June 7, 2023 that I completed my Final Demonstration.  It turned out well, so somehow I'm happy and I feel that all my hard work was worth it. I spent several days and weeks preparing for my Final Demo.  My Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) is checked every day, so I adjust and edit it every day also.  At the last minute before the final demonstration, my Cooperating Teacher wanted to change something in my DLP, so I was really stuck on time, to the point that I only have hours left and I'm about to start, but she still wants to change something in the Lesson. So frustrating. But I'm happy that despite what happened, I was able to finished my final demonstration safely despite many obstacles and hindrances. Now I just have to wait for graduation! Well that is if I can pay my tuition for this semester hahaha.  I really don't have any money right now, it's all used up for the final demo, maybe others here, especially those who have experience doing Practice Teaching, know how much it costs. Actually, the money I used for my final demo was just borrowed, yes, all of that money used was just borrowed by me.  It happened because when I was about to have my final demo, my mother lost her job, so I was really forced to borrow a large amount of money.  I will talk about the money I owed in a separate article. And now that I'm done with my Final Demonstration and I've passed some requirements for my course, it's time for me to work to earn money and pay off my debts. But we all know that it's hard to find a job these days.  So now I'm having a problem where I can get the payment for my tuition fee which is due on June 20,2023. My mother still doesn't have a job right now because she's old and the people she's applying for don't want to accept her.  And because of that, I really want to be able to work right away, the only problem is that I still don't have any money to use for requirements like medical. So everyone, maybe you know of legit online jobs that I can do, maybe the ones you are working with still need some people.  I will be glad if you consider me.  Thank you in advance. And also I am accepting help from everyone. 😊 I will remove the shame from myself first because I really need help right now. 🥺 So that's it for now.  Thank you for reading my articles, I appreciate you all so much.  See you again. `This article was first published on my Hive account.` ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

I'll definitely rub the lamp! You are granted three wishes from a Genie. What are your 3 wishes? Describe in at least 300 words what they are and why you want them. Will you rub the lamp? If I am given the chance to pick up a lamp and have 3 wishes, that is, **first**, I could find a job, **second**, my family and I will be able to pay our creditors or all of our debts and **third**, I will be able to review for the upcoming Board Exam for Teachers teachers in March 2024. All my requests are just connected to each other. **First, find a job.** Now that I'm done with my Final Demonstration Teaching and I've passed some of my requirements for my course, I have time to at least do a part time job. I don't want to waste my time just staying here at home, I want all my time to be worthwhile. It's not because I'm done with the things I have to do, I can relax. That is not possible in my current situation. I have to work so that I can have my own money and not depend on my parents for my needs. Another thing is that my graduation is just near in the corner, so I have a lot of expenses and bills coming up, so I really need to have money. **Second, I want my family and I to pay off our debts.** How much debt do we have? Well, to be honest, we have a lot of debt. And even I myself already have a lot of debt, I don't have a job yet but I already have a debt. The reason why I was forced to take out a loan is so that I have other expenses for my Final Demo Teaching, because my grade depends on that, so I really need to pass it. I borrowed more than ***5,000 pesos*** or more that ***$100*** dollars for my final demo, actually the amount I used in my demo was small because my other Co-ST or Co-Student Teacher spent about 10,000 pesos or $200. So my debt is also one of the reasons why I want to have a job, so that I have something to pay. And lastly, **wish number 3, I can Review for the upcoming Board exam for Teachers in March 2024.** The enrollment for review is coming in September 2023 and I also need an amount of 10,000 for that Board Exam Review. Yes, I need 10,000 pesos or $200 dollars for 6 months review in a Certified Review Center. They said it will be a big help for me to review because they will guarantee that once you review with them, you will pass the lincensure exam. At enrollment, which is in September 2023, they will ask for a down payment worth 2,000 pesos or about $40. If I can't give the amount they ask for, it won't go ahead and I'll have to wait for another 6 months. And this is also one of the reasons why I really want to work. I know that my wishes can be fulfilled even by myself as long as I work hard and persevere in life. But if I could ever pick up a lamp, rub it and a genie would come out of it, that's what I would ask for. I will not ask for money immediately, I will not ask to change my face, posture body or looks, I will not ask for some super powers, and I will not ask for material things. The 3 that I just said is what I will ask for because I want to work hard for the things that I can achieve. Just give me a job and I will be happy and I will be able to fulfill my next wishes. My wishes are personal, but I know that if you were in my situation, you would probably think the same. But if all of us are given the chance to have three wishes each, it will be fair to everyone. So this is my entry for sir bob @Coolmidwestguy@Coolmidwestguy writing prompt about Hopes, Dreams and Wishes. If you want to join this fun and meaningful challenge you can visit sir bob articles for the mechanics. https://read.cash/@Coolmidwestguy/hopes-dreams-and-wishes-challenge-129966c0 Thank you so much for reading this.

My Curly Hair ***Hello everyone!*** ***Happy Sunday to all of you.*** When I was young from kindergarten to Grade 6, my hair was straight.  My hair style was always short shoulder-length and my hair was very straight and shiny because it was black in color.  And even then my hair was really thick. But during my high school days that's the time my hair became curly.  I have long curly hair so a lot of people really like it plus it's thick.  The way my hair is curled is really polished as in the way it goes round and round.  I don't know why my hair suddenly transformed from straight hair to curly hair. Now my hair is kinda straight, I've been rebonded a few times so my old curly hair hasn't really come back, but it still has a bit of a wavy feel to it. Anyway that's what I look like when my hair is curly.  Yesterday I got braided by my friend and when I removed the braid, my hair turned out like that, it was curly. I missed my old hair, now my hair is always short and if I remember it correctly, the last time I had long hair, waist-length, was in 2019. So I just want to show you my curly hair.  lol. *By the way, do you think that kind of hair style still suits me?  And what can you say about my curly hair?  Hihi.* That's all.  Thanks for reading.

Sadness Today I am very sad because of what happened to me yesterday.  Actually yesterday I was already sad, confused and worried. ***Well what exactly is the reason for my sadness?*** So it was yesterday when I was supposed to withdraw money because I was out of budget and allowance.  There is an ATM near our school, so in order not to go far, I decided to withdraw there.  There were people ahead of me in the queue and based on their reactions, they were a bit annoyed and seemed to be impatient.  So I just waited for them to finish and before they left they said that the machine didn't have cash but they weren't sure.  So me,that really needed a cash, I still tried to withdraw even though the people before me told me that there's no cash in the machine. When I was in front of the machine and I inserted my card and entered the amount I wanted to withdraw, I was surprised because it took so long before my card came out and no cash came out.  So I said to myself that maybe the machine doesn't really have any cash and they haven't dispensed yet. But after a few hours after I attempted to withdraw, the bank emailed me saying that I was able to withdraw and the amount was stated there.  So I was suddenly really nervous because I wasn't really able to withdraw. I was already at home when I read that email, so I had no choice but to check the balance the next day.  And this morning I did a balance inquiry and I was surprised that the savings on my card really decreased.  Before I left school, I did a balance inquiry again at another branch of the ATM, but the money on my card was actually reduced.  So I'm really sad about what happened. That money is not that much but it is still money and I need that money because I no longer have an allowance.  And I can't just pick up that amount of money on the road! And just before 4:00 pm, I went to the main branch of the bank that I was withdrawing from.  My concern was taken care of immediately but they said I have to wait 3-4 weeks before the money is credited to my card again. Those 3 or 4 weeks are quite long for me especially since I don't have any money now, I don't have a fare to school tomorrow and I don't have any money to buy some food.  I also can't borrow money from my classmates earlier because they were also out of money because we all had a lot to spend.  People here at home also don't have extra money and our money is only for food every day. That's why since yesterday until now I'm really sad.  Well, no matter who that happened to, they will be really sad too. That's all for today.  I just really want to express my feelings to somehow feel better and reduce my sadness.  So thank you so much for reading this.  See you on my next article! ****Image made from Canva.**** *This article was written on May 9, 2023 amd first published on my* ***Hive*** *account.* https://ecency.com/hive-188409/@expelliarmus30/i-am-very-sad **Update:** 1 week and 2 days already passed but my request to credit the money on my card again is still on the process. I haven't received any email from them though. `Images used are from Unsplash.`

Do I look good with bangs? Two weeks ago I decided to cut my hair and put bangs. I didn't want to do this but I was forced to because I had a big pimple on my forehead that looked almost like a lump in size. I knew that putting bangs would cause more irritation to my pimple but I still cut my hair to have a bangs to cover my big pimple on my forehead. To be honest, pimples really makes you lose self-confidence, and I've heard many people say that. It's true, especially if a pimple grow as big as mine hahahaha just kidding. I also face a lot of people every day, especially my students, and I'm a little shy that people see my pimples, so even though I don't want to, I really cut my hair. After a few days, the pimple in my forehead decreased in size until it disappeared. But I have one problem. My bangs became curly, lol. So now I put hair spray on my bangs so it doesn't spread on my face. As others say, it's unsuitable when the bangs are curly. Repentance is really in the end, if I had just waited for my acne to heal, I wouldn't be struggling every day with my bangs. And because I didn't learned that every time I put bangs, it really curls after a few days. My hair is naturally curly, so it's not surprising that my bangs are also curly. *But do you think I look fine with bangs even if it's curly?* Comment down below and I will gladly accept your comments. Thanks! And that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine, I really appreciate it. See you again on my article!

New Bunch of Cutie Patoties 😁 ***Tep-tep*** ***Pyang-pyang*** ***Che-che*** ***Jam-jam*** ***Jed-jed*** ***I couldn't get a good photo because they were so naughty. 😅*** I have a dog named* **"Bridgette"** *who gave birth again this March 7, 2023 only. And those five cute puppies are her puppy. This is Bridgette's second batch of puppies because the previous one was on August 19, 2022. Well if you ask what kind of dog Bridgette is, she is only an **Aspin** (*Pinoy Dog or Asong Pinoy*) but she looks different because she is furry and seems to have another breed. When she was young she was very cute and very fluffy and adorable like the rest of her children. Back then she had 5 puppies in her first batch, now she has 5 puppies born again. I have given names to each puppy for easy identification. There are four female and only one male. Just now there are already owners of that 5 puppy. When Bridgette was still pregnant, many people were really asking for her puppies, especially when they saw how cute and adorable her puppies back then. Those puppies are very cute, they haven't even eaten yet and they're breastfeed by their mother, but they're so agile right away that's why people here at home are fond of them. **April 13, 2023.

The first week of my Practice Teaching April 8, 2023. Saturday. I have finished my first week as a *ST* or *Student Teacher* and I can say that the first week alone is really tiring. When I was in OJT, I really wanted it to end so I could go back to school to teach. When we were deployed to schools again, I was very excited because we were finally back, I was also excited about what new experiences I would have. ****• Deployment Day**** My ***first day*** as ST was fine, I wasn't too tired because my *CT* or *Cooperating Teacher* hadn't required me to do anything yet. I just watched and observed her class from morning to afternoon. But before I went home, she told me that in the next day I will be the one to teach and discuss in her class. She also immediately ask me to made me a lesson plan and taught me other things that I needed to do. That's why my ***second day*** as an ST was really tiring and as the days went by, my tasks increased more and more. On my ***third day***, I was told that I will not only handle the subject of Foods/Cookery because I was given another subject which is ICT or Information and Communication Technology and the next day I will start entering the ICT class of Grade 9 students. So my ***fourth day*** were very tiring. From 7:30 am to 11:00 am I was in the ICT class and at 11:00 am I started discussing in the Foods class and that lasted until 3:00 pm. So overall I have 6 periods taught in one day, 3 classes of ICT and 3 classes of Foods. From morning to afternoon I just stood and walked. From morning to afternoon I talking in class. So who doesn't get tired of that? ****• My first day as an ST**** Yesterday, Friday and my ***fifth day***, I was really tired. I've been really sleep deprived for a few days now, I only get 5 hours of sleep every time. Of course, when I come home from school, I take care of the lesson I will discuss the next day, I also make visual aids and study the lesson carefully so that I can deliver my discussion to the students properly. And that's not the only thing I take care of when I get home from school because I also wash my uniform every day. I only have 1 pair of uniform and it is required that we wear a complete uniform every day, so I have no choice if I don't do laundry every day. So to be honest, I'm having a bit of a hard time right now with what I do every day. I also find it difficult to adjust the things I do. Even my sleep, because I'm really sacrificing it. As in every day when I come home from school, I feel like I just want to lay in bed and sleep all night and not think about or forget about the things I have to do. But will I give up now when I will finish my last year as a college student in just a few months? I'm fine with being tired every day. I'm fine with making a lesson plan and visual aids every day. I'm fine with talking and walking every day. I can do those things even though I complain constantly, I still do what I have to do. The only thing I really don't want is to run out of budget. Because when that happens, I will really stop studying even though I want to finish it. Just now and just a week ago, I spent a lot of money, for food, fare, buying necessities, and most of all, printing every day and buying things for my visual aids. Those two are really the very expensive type that scrape the contents of my wallet. Because my CT requires that I use visual aids in my lesson, so even if I don't want to, I can't do anything, because I have to follow the order from the principal. So right now I'm really struggling when it comes to money. And even now I'm already having problems with my expenses for the next few days and weeks. I have no resources but myself. It's good that before my turn as ST started, my scholarship assistance arrived so I was able to spend somehow. So now that the money is gone, I'm thinking about where I'm going to get the money for my expenses in the upcoming days. That's why even though I'm busy, I still write or I still make articles and I published them to the different blogging platforms that I have because even though I only earn a little there, it still helps me. ****• I made it with Canva.**** Thank you so much for reading this article of mine.

@Expelliarmus30 6 April 2023

Ilang araw na pahinga. `April 6, 2023. Thursday.` Hays sa wakas nakasulat ulit dito. Kailan na nga ba ulit yung last article ko? I think last last week pa ata yun. Hehe. *Kamusta po kayong lahat? Sana ay okay po kayo at masaya kung nasaang panig man po kayo ng mundo.* Well kaya lagi po ako wala dito ay sobrang busy po kasi talaga ako and lagi ko naman yun nasasabi tuwing may article ako ipupublish. Nagpa-practice teaching na po kasi ako ngayon at grabe ang hirap na pinagdadaan ko hindi lang physically pati mentally at emotionally. Isama pa dyan yung financial problem, ang gastos gastos po pala kasi pag 4th year college kana. Kaya yung utak ko po talaga laging maraming laman at iniisip kaya hindi na po talaga ako magkaroon ng time makapagsulat. Pero ngayon po na Holy Week at ***may*** ***ilang araw po akong pahinga*** at baka makapagsulat po ako kahit papaano. Kung ano lang siguro ang maisip ko, kung ano pong biglang pumasok sa utak ko at kung ano na pong ganap at mga nangyayari sa akin. Ngayong araw po na ito ay naisipan ko lang po talaga magsulat para mag update na din po ng mga pangyayari. Pero sa dami na ng nangyari sa akin ilang araw pa lang ang lumilipas ngayong buwan ng April ay baka hindi ko na ikwento lahat hahahha. **Happy April nga po pala sa inyong lahat!** Hindi na ako nakabati sa inyo at hindi na rin ako nakapagsulat ng welcome article para sa buwan ng April dahil sabi ko nga grabe ang pagkabusy ko sa pag aaral. Ang buwan ng March ko po ay medyo nakakalungkot dahil sa mga nangyari sa akin kaya ngayong April ay tanging hiling ko lang po sana kahit papaano ay maging maayos ito at hindi maging katulad ng nakaraang buwan. *Kayo po anong wish or goal nyo this month of April?* Anyway balik po tayo sa main topic. May ilang araw po akong pahinga ngayon dahil nga po Holy Week. Pero nung Monday hanggang kahapon ay may pasok pa po ako. Kayang hanggang Monday, April 10, lang ang pahinga ko. Dapat hanggang linggo lang po yun April 9, pero dineclared na ng President ng Pilipinas na pati ang April 10 ay regular Holiday na rin. So inshort meron ako 5 days na pahinga. Yehey! *Pero ang tanong makakapag pahinga nga ba talaga ako?* Ang sagot dyan ay "hindi ko sure" hahahha. Well may 5 lesson plan kasi akong kailangang gawin. Meron din akong 5 visual aids na gagawin, it either PowerPoint presentation or magsusulat ako sa Manila Paper at magpapaprint ng pictures. Tapos need ko din aralin ang mga topic na ididiscuss ko sa mga students ko. Plus pa dyan ang mg weekly journal and narrative na kailangan ko din gawin. Kaya hindi ko talaga sure kung pahinga pa talagang matatawa ito hahaha. Pero ganun pa man ay okay na din dahil kahit papaano ay makakahinga ako. Sa school kasi ay laging may mga nakabantay sa ginagawa mo. Sa school panay ako nakatayo, maghapon akong nagsasalita dahil nga nagtuturo ako ng mga bata. Kapag nagcecellphone naman kami ay binabawalan kami. Kaya as in limited lang talaga ang mga bagay na pwede namin gawin doon. So ngayon ay walang pasok atleast kahit papaano ay makakapag pahinga ako, makakahiga ako kahit anong oras ko gusto, makakagamit ako ng cellphone ko at walang magbabantay sa mga kilos ko dito sa bahay. So I think that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine. See you again next time. Enjoy your week everyone. God bless us all and stay safe always.

Weak Hero Class 1 : A Series Review March 31, 2023. Saturday. *Good Day to all! How's life buddies? Hoping everyone are having good times in their lives now.* Watching series is undeniably a passion of many people, whether young or old and regardless of age. Because watching series is used as entertainment by most people. People started to like watching these when the pandemic started where people were only in their homes because going out was prohibited to prevent the spread of the virus. And just staying at home motivated people to watch something that could be used as entertainment. And that's where the sprouting of different series started. One of the series that people like is the series from South Korea. It cannot be denied that they are great and you will really enjoy watching them. Some of the most popular series from South Korea are ***“Squid Game”*** and ***“All of us are Dead”***. The audience really talked about those two. Those series have compelling stories that you will definitely follow. There are many other series from South Korea that have become popular and enjoyed by the people, but I won't list them all. Same as lead image / Image source: IMDb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20234568/ And today I have a Series from South Korea to share with you. I mentioned this in my previous article and it is ***“Weak Hero Class 1”***. If I'm not mistaken, this series was released in November 2022 in Netflix. This series has 8 episodes and each episode lasts less than an hour. This series did not resonate because it was almost at the same time as the series titled "Wednesday" released. Everyone probably knows how popular that series is and how the viewers loved it. I can say that the "Weak Hero Class 1" series is also really good, but because it was released on the same month as "Wednesday", people didn't notice it much because they were focused on Wednesday. But even if this series is not that popular, it is really good and worth watching. Image source: HanCinema https://www.hancinema.net/photos-new-poster-stills-and-behind-the-scenes-images-added-for-the-korean-drama-weak-hero-class-1-165739.html And let's get to what this story is about. It is about the life of a student who experienced bullying among his fellow students. The hero is a man, he is smart and focused on his studies. He always leads his class or he is always the top of the class because of his intelligence and ability, and this is the reason why others envy him. And that's where the story turned. Image source: MyDramaList https://mydramalist.com/702267-weak-hero/episodes The hero has no friends because his classmates recognize him as a weirdo and the others call him arrogant and rude even though he doesn't really do anything to them. Sometimes smart people are often mistaken for being arrogant because of their intelligence and abilities, right? Even if they don't really brag, that's how others think of them. So often smart people don't really have many friends. But as the story progressed and people started to bully him, someone came to help him and so he made some friends.

With his intelligence, he was able to fight against those who would oppress him despite his weak body. And that's what I liked about this series. It's usually because some of the characters who are bullied don't fight back, but he's different, he's actually very cool to look at for me. He is smart and at the same time he is good at fighting.

His acting is also great and he really did justice to his role. Anyway, let's get back to the topic, the series is not only about bullying because it is also a story about friendship, family, education, society and many others. You will really learn a lot from this story once you watch it. That's why I recommend this to everyone who likes to watch series especially to those who like Korean seties here. I assure you guys that watching this series will be worth it. A friend of mine also just recommended it and she told me about it before but I didn't pay attention and I just watched it recently. I did regret because I didn't watch it before and I had no intention of watching it, luckily I changed my mind because otherwise I would have missed a good series. And that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine, I really appreciate the time you spent for it. God bless us all and stay safe always. See you on my article. Adios!

Reason why I continue to fight in life `March 28, 2023. Tuesday.` **Hello and Good day to all of you.** Everyone has a reason why they strive in life. As for me, the reason why I fight in life is my ***Family***. I know what my family is going through and I see their struggles, that's why I continue to fight for life even though I'm struggling too. I am working hard to study and finish studying and graduate so that I can find a decent job in the future. When I was young, I already understand and know the situation and state of our lives, that's why from then on, I dreamed that my family would be freed from poverty. I want to give them a good life and I want them to experience a good life. I'm not looking for absolute luxury, for me it's okay to live a simple life as long as it's not hard and being poor in life. Have your own and tidy house, have food every day, have nice clothes, have a business, have the money to purchase of daily necessities, have enough money to pay the bills and have extra money for what you want and others things that want to buy and most of all have savings. That kind of life is enough for me. And that's the kind of life I want to give to my family. Right now I'm still far from my dreams but the important thing is that I'm somehow making a way to reach them. That's why even though I'm still studying, I'm forcing myself to work or find a way to earn money because I know my family is poor so I shouldn't depend on them for my education and they can't really afford me to study either. That's why I always work hard. Even though my family and I don't get along every day and sometimes we fight, I still think about them every day. I don't know why I can't get rid of myself to always think of them and put them first. Yes, I often put my family first compared to myself. I love my family so much that I can do anything for them. All I have now is my mother, sister and nephew and they are the love of my life. I Can do anything for those three people. And I can sacrifice for them. My grandfather and grandmother are also included in my dreams even though sometimes they treat us differently. I still love them despite the bad things they used to do to us because I always forgive them. So I dedicate all the hard work, sacrifice, tiredness and whatever else to them, because my family is the reason I fight every day. ***You, who and what is the reason why you fight in life?*** That's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine I really appreciate your time spent on this. See you on my next article! *God bless you all.* *Stay safe always.* *Bye.* This article was first published on my **Hive** account. https://ecency.com/hive-188409/@expelliarmus30/the-reason-why-i-continue-to-fight-in-life?referral=expelliarmus30 ****All images used are from Unsplash****

Experiences from my OJT March 26, 2023. Sunday. **Good day to all of you. I hope you are all fine and having a good time in your life.** Today I will just look back on my experiences in my On-the-Job Training or OJT for short. I also have many happy memories there and I really learned a lot not only about working but also about socializing, communicating with other people and many other aspects in life. My OJT started on ***January 9, 2023*** and it ended last ***February 7, 2023***. The time I was required to be on duty or finish is two hundred forty (240) hours and it needs to finish within 1 month. Yes, only for one month, so if you read my last article, I said there that my duty is 10 hours a day and sometimes it goes beyond the set time because we are chasing time to finish it immediately. I did OJT in a **Hotel** here in our province. It is not a 5 star hotel but I can say that it is also a quality hotel. Actually I shouldn't choose to go to that Hotel because my Major (Course) is about Foods so I should really be in Restaurants but because when I was in Senior High School I had the experience of doing work immersion in a restaurant, that's why I have chosen to do OJT in the Hotel now so that I can also experience the jobs and activities in the hotel. My colleagues and I designated to the ***Housekeeping department***. Some of us were not allowed to be designated to the Front Office even though their course was about Hotel and Restaurant Services. But even so, we all accepted where we were placed. Housekeeping tasks are not that heavy so we didn't really have too much trouble, maybe there were times when we got tired because there were events and many guests. But I'll tell you that housekeeping is one of the critical jobs in a Hotel. Some of the things we do is to clean the Check out rooms including dusting, sweeping, beddings, cleaning the comfort room, changing toiletries and other tasks. We also make up the room and for me the make up room is more difficult compared to cleaning the check out room, but that's just for me. We also sweep and mop the hallways every day. Waters the plants from the ground up to the rooftop plants. Dusting furniture and wall displays. Ironing linens. Laundrying linens but they have an automatic washing machine so it's not difficult to do the laundry. Picking up the hanging linens and folding them. And we have other activities besides those. Not all of those jobs are done by one person because there are many of us there, so we alternate jobs. In almost a month of my OJT, I learned a lot of new things that I can use in my daily life. I also learned a lot of lessons in life while I was there and I don't need to elaborate it one by one or go into details as long as I know for myself that I learned something from my experiences. And I can say that all my tiredness and staying awake late at night in OJT was worth it because I got a high grade from them. In the evaluation from the company where I did OJT, I got a 99 grade and that is equivalent to flat 1.00. So OJT also pulled my whole grade up. So I am also very thankful to them for giving a fair grade to all of my companions. And I am grateful for the things they taught me. And here are some of the pictures with lots of memories that I have saved. Behind each picture is a story that I will never forget and will treasure forever. `And that's all for today, I hope you enjoy reading this article of mine and thank yo so much. Until again.` ***God bless us all.*** ***Stay safe always.*** ****Images used in this article are all mine.**** ***This was first posted on my*** ***Hive*** ***account.*** https://peakd.com/hive-188409/@expelliarmus30/good-memories-from-my-ojt

Simula na! `March 21, 2023. Tuesday`. Hello everyone. Kamusta naman po kayo? Sana ay maayos ang inyong mga kalagayan at masaya po kayo saan man kayong panig ng mundo naroroon. Martes. Martes pa lang pero ang pagod ko ay parang pang Byernes na. Nagsimula na kasi ang Practice Teaching ko kahapon, March 20, 2023 at pangalawang araw ko pa lamang ngayon. Nakakadalawang araw pa lang ako pero parang ang sakit na talaga ng ulo ko, pagod na pagod na ako, sobrang puyat ako palagi. Well ganyan ata talaga kapag Educ ang course mo, araw araw talaga pagod. ST or student teacher pa lang po ako pero yung mga ginagawa ko ay parang daig pa ang tunay na teacher hahahha. Ganito po kasi yan kaya nasasabi ko na nakapagod ang Practice Teaching namin. Hindi ba po dapat kapag nagpapratice teaching na ay sa Major mo ikaw magtuturo, I mean yung field of specialization mo or yung mismong subject mo lang talaga. Pero kasi kami ay 2 subject ang napuntahan. Ako po ay Food major pero meron pa akong isang subject na ituturo bukod sa foods at yun ay ICT. Alam ko naman po na part sya ng TLE pa rin pero parang ang unfair lang dahil noong nakaraang semester ay pumayag na kami na mag-exploratory subjects kami para ngayong sem ay sa Major subject na talaga kami mapunta. Ang problema po kasi namin dyan ay yung mga pinapagawa. So 2 subjects po yan, ang sa akin ay isang foods at ICT, yung sa mga kasamahan ko ay ibat ibang subject pa po bukod sa ICT, may napunta pa sa garments, electrical, electronics, drafting at iba pa. Sa dalawang subjects po na napunta sa akin na yan ay parehas ko kailangan gawan ng presentation for discussion or kailangan kong gumawa ng visual aids araw araw. Kailangan ko din pong gumawa ng lesson plan araw araw. So it means kada araw ay 2 lesson plan at 2 presentation ang gagawin ko. And syempre hindi lang naman ako basta gagawa ng presentation at ng lessons plan na yan dahil kailangan ko munang aralin ang ididiscuss ko especially sa ICT. Hindi ko naman major ang ICT kaya hindi ako ganun kaalam sa mga nilalaman ng subjects na yan kaya ibig sabihin ay aaralin ko ulit talaga ang ICT bago ko ituro. Ang schedule ko po sa pagpasok sa school ay 7:30 am to 3:00 pm. At ang hati ng sched ko ay 3 ICT sa umaga, 7:30 to 11:00 at 3 foods sa tanghali at hapon, 11:00 to 3:00. So it means ang vacant ko lang talaga ay lunch break. Imagine that simula umaga hanggang hapon ay magsasalita ako ng magsasalita o magdidiscuss ako sa harap ng mga bata na minsan ay ang kululit pa. Hindi kaya maubos ang boses ko nun? Tapos pag uwi ay galing school ay hindi rin naman ako agad makakapahinga dahil gagawa ulit ako ng bagong mga presentation at lesson plan para naman sa kinabukasan. Kung sa iba ay madali lang gumawa ng lesson plan at mga visual aids na yan or PowerPoint presentation na yan, sa akin ay hindi. Ikaw na naman galing ang utak mo sa paggawa ng lesson sa foods tapos biglang magshi-shift sa ICT. As in araw araw ay dalawang lessons talaga ang gagawin ko tapos magkaibang subjects pa talaga. Hindi ko nga alam kung hanggang saan ko pa kakayanin eh hahahha sa totoo lang po. Kaya naman masasabi ko na ***Simula na*** talaga ng mga abala kong araw! So kapag nawala na naman po ako sa mga susunod na araw at hindi nyo na naman po ako napansin dito at sa ibang platform ay alam nyo na po ang dahilan. And hindi ko po talaga sure kung kailan ako magkakaroon ng maluwag na schedule ulit, siguro sa bakasyon na po yun hahahahha. Anyway hanggang dito na lang po. Gusto ko lang po talaga isulat, ikwento ito and at the same time ay mag update na din po. `That's all. Thank you so much po sa pagbabasa nitong aking article. God bless po sa inyong lahat and stay safe always.` ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

My Friday March 17, 2023. Friday. Hello and how are you all? I hope you are doing well and happy wherever part you are in the world. So today I will just share with you what happened on my Friday. Well I just want to tell you this because today is my deployment for ***Practice Teaching*** or ***Internship*** . In the school where I did **Field Study** before, is the school where I will also do my practice teaching now. Well, usually that's how it should be, but there are others who prefer to transfer to different schools when it comes to internships, but since the school I chose was the one closest to us and that's where I'm from or graduated, I didn't choose to switch schools for the internship. But we have a request now that we are in Practice Teaching and that is to be put us in our Field of Specialization and we also requested that can we be brought to ***Senior High school (SHS)***. In the past, we were all placed in ***Junior High school (JHS)*** and only a few actually went to their field of specialization and the rest went to exploratory subjects. What I mean by this is that they are not actually observing their major subject. Our major subject is about Foods and Services Management and Hotel and Restaurant Services but the others went to garments, drafting, electrical, ICT and other TLE subjects. Well, that's fine because we were just a Field Study students at the time and we were just doing observations. But now that we are really going to teach, others are asking us to go to the subject that is our major. We preferred to go to Senior High school because there are also subjects that are really about foods and there are more resources and equipment in Senior High school compared to Junior high school. *But our request was not fulfilled!* When we told the Head of TLE department that we wanted to transfer to SHS, she immediately gave us a warning. She said that the situation at SHS is not good right now and that we might get into trouble. She said she just doesn't want to stress us so she says that those things are up to us right away. Well, she didn't go in details on what kind of trouble there is in SHS, but just by her words, it can be read that the situation at SHS is not really good. But she said that if we really want to go there, we can but we have to be careful there. Because of what the Head of the TLE department said, most of us changed our minds. The Head wouldn't say that if it wasn't true. And it's obvious that she really only cares about us. The Head of the TLE department is kind so we have a lot of trust in her. So we decided to just stay at JHS. It's for the safety of all of us. And we are already comfortable to the teachers and students of JHS and they already know us so it is not difficult for us to be with them again. And I think we made the right decision. It's hard to get involved in other people's issues and problems, so the best thing is to just avoid it and choose where we are safer and more secure, and where we won't be stressed a lot. Well, something embarrassing happened to me earlier too. And that's is I am being too late at our deployment. Well, being late is fine, but in these situations and to think that is deployment, it is a bit embarrassing for me. Everyone waited for me and I was the only one missing. Even our professors I made them wait for me. When I arrived, I was very ashamed. Huhuhu I almost hid my face earlier because I'm sure my professors will remember me for being late and making them wait for a long time hahaha. It is not possible to start the deployment until we are complete because they will still talk to the office staff and the Principal so it is necessary that when we face them we must be complete. That's why I apologize so much to what happened. Well I want to forget what happened but I will make a promise to myself that it should not happen again. `Author's note:` `I wanted to upload pictures of us during the deployment, but our professors haven't sent the pictures to our group chat yet, so I can't put any pictures here. Maybe I'll just edit this article once they send pictures.` And that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine. I really appreciate the time you spent reading this. God bless to all of us.S Staysafe always. Bye. ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

Is there a new Hope coming? `March 12, 2023. Sunday.` Hello and Good Day to all of us! Earlier while I was using my phone, I was suddenly urged to open my **Read Cash** account. Well, every day I actually check the Read Cash to know what's new or if there are any changes here, but before now, I really wanted to open the read cash differently. And to my surprise, I saw something unexpected today. I read a short post from a certain person about Read Cash. And when I check my notifications, I noticed something. I saw this notification. Actually, it's been a while since the last time I read something like that in my notification and every time I received those kind of notification I really celebrated. For me, things like that are really worth celebrating because you can call it an achievement. But why am I shocked when I see that kind of notification? That's because I feel that *Read.Cash has come back* *to life!* And there was another thing that really made my heart beat fast and that was when I saw this thing. To see those words (***I'm back, baby!***) on his profile made me smile a lot. Who wouldn't be happy to see those words from him, right? So my heart really overflowed with joy. Here's another one. Something changed in the title of his last article. If I'm not mistaken, the original title of that article was **"My Last Tip"** where he stated that he has given his last tip, now it's different, it has the words **"or is it?"** To think that it has changed is another reason to give new hope to my heart and my whole system. There is no official announcement yet as to what will actually happen on this platform, but I really pray that we all receive good news and wish that new hope will emerge again! After the Random Rewarder said that he had given his last tip and that was in ***December 2022***, many people were really sad although even though he was gone, many people still continued with it. I am still publishing articles even though he is gone and most of those articles are about missing the former enthusiasm of Read Cash. I often write articles in the past few months about my journey on this platform, things I miss and my "wishes". So I can say that I didn't really leave the read cash like that, even though most of the users here just disappeared and left. Now that there is a new hope looming I will make sure that I do not pass this hope or rather opportunity. It's a very good news that he's coming back and I'm excited to see again that others who lost and left before will also come back now so that the joy and enthusiasm that was lost here will also return soon. I really miss reading other people's articles and commenting on them, I also miss seeing their comments on my articles. So I can't wait for that to happen again. Most of all, I'm waiting for the official announcement (if there is one) so I can prove to myself if there really is new hope waiting for all of us. And if that is true, ***"Thank you Lord and you have heard my prayer again"***. God is really good all the time and God will really provide! `That's all for today. I am really thankful for the time you spent to read my article, I really appreciate it. Love you so much guys. See you again on my next articles.` `God bless us all.` ****All photos used in this article is my own screenshots.****

Getting ready for My Practice Teaching `February 26, 2023. Sunday.` ***Practice Teaching*** or ***Teaching Internship*** is what I will face in my next semester which is second sem and the last sem that I have to finish to graduate. Yesterday was the last day of enrollment at our University. And fortunately, I was happy to read that I was Officially Enrolled even before the system closed. Well, because our enrollment is online, they say it will be better if the university does this so that people do not have close contact, which is still avoided until now because the virus has not been completely suppressed. While looking at my COR or Certificate of Registration, I saw that I only have two Course Subjects, which are **Competency Enhancement** and **Practice Teaching**. I am not that familiar with the first course subject but I already have an idea about what it is and the second course subject is really familiar to me and I already have a background about this subject. Practice teaching is also known as student teaching, teacher training or teacher internship. During practice teaching, student teachers have the opportunity to work in real-world classroom settings under the guidance of experienced teachers or we call it Resource Teacher/Cooperating Teacher, student teachers also have an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom to real-life teaching situations. If last semester we only did Observation in the classroom because it was just a Field Study, now it is different because we will actually experience teaching the students or we will actually participate in the whole class and discussions. I can say that Practice Teaching has many ***challenges*** just like Time Management. Student teachers have many responsibilities such as for planning lessons, delivering instruction, grading assignments/activities/laboratory, and managing classroom behavior. This can be overwhelming, especially for those who are new to teaching. Another is Meeting the Needs of All Learners. Student teachers must create lessons that meet the needs of all learners, including those with learning disabilities or language barriers. This can be a challenging task, as each student has unique needs and learning styles. But since we already tackled about learning disabilities I think I can handle this challenge. Dealing with stress is also a challenge. Teaching can be a stressful job, and practice teaching is no exception. Student teachers may feel overwhelmed and stressed as they navigate the challenges of teaching. If teachers who have been around for a long time are still sometimes stressed, how about those who are just practicing, right? Of course, you will not only face challenges in Practice Teaching because it will also give you ***opportunites*** that you can use when you become a full-fledged teacher someday. These opportunities are to Gain practical experience. Practice teaching allows student teachers to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in their coursework to real-world situations. This hands-on experience is invaluable in preparing them for their future teaching careers. Next is to develop teaching skills. Student teachers have the opportunity to develop their teaching skills, such as planning and delivering effective lessons, managing classroom behavior, and assessing student learning. And finally, reflect on teaching practice. Practice teaching provides student teachers with the opportunity to reflect on their teaching practice and to identify areas for improvement. This reflective process is a critical part of ongoing professional development and helps ensure that student teachers are continuously growing and improving as educators. Overall, practice teaching can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Practice Teaching experiences provide invaluable insights into the world of education and can help future teachers make informed decisions about their career paths. So I can really say that I should be mentally and emotionally prepared for my upcoming Practice teaching. Getting ready for practice teaching can be a daunting task, but with proper preparation and organization, it can be a rewarding and successful experience. But of course Practice Teaching is not my only subject so it should not be the only thing I prepare and focus on. I have two subjects and I must give them both time and attention, I must focus on both. Thank you so much for reading this, I appreciate the time you spend for it. Until my next article! Have a great day.

On-the-Job Training Done! `February 12, 2023. Sunday.` Good day to all of you! How are you doing in your lives? I hope everyone is doing well. Anyway here I am again and I'm coming back here. I'm only intermittent because of my schedule. My schedule is a bit chaotic and inexplicable. Hahaha. But now I can say that somehow my schedule is fine. How come because it is my Semester Break now hahaha. Yehey finally I've waited for this opportunity for a long time. I can somehow breathe from those academic requirements. I feel that because January is long, it takes a long time to finish. But now it seems like February is fast approaching when I will have my sem break. It's like in the blink of an eye, our sem break seems to be over right away because of the speed with which this month passes. I've also finished my On-The-Job Training or OJT in short. I started my OJT on January 9 and I finished just this past Tuesday, February 7. The time I completed for my OJT was 240 hours. I made a way to finish it early. I preferred to do ten (10) hours of duty every day so that I could finish early and quickly. If I don't do it, I will probably still be working at the company where I did my OJT now and I don't want that to happen because I won't be able to enjoy the semester break. The tiredness I suffered at the Company where I did OJT was also very intense, the jobs were not that heavy but I can say that the work was still really tiring. Money also became a real problem for me because every day I need it for my expenses, fares, buying food and so on. Because we don't have an allowance or even a free meal in that company, that's why I said that we're really losing money because there's nothing in return for our effort/work/tiredness. But that's the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it, we're done with OJT so we should just be thankful because despite what happened, we were still able to finish peacefully. Well, now that I'm done with OJT, I'm starting to look for a part time job again. I really need a source of income right now because all of us here at home are really short on money. I will do everything I can to find a part time job because nothing will happen to me if I let my shyness prevail. So I think that's enough for now. I will end this article here. Thank you so much for reading. God bless us all. ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

@Expelliarmus30 30 January 2023

Special Day `January 30, 2023. Monday.` **Today is my birthday!!!** Today is the day I was born but that was still the year of 2000 hehehe. In short, I am twenty three years old now. Hays, it's like a days ago when I was still young huh. I just play games on the road all day. Just watching cartoons on Television from morning till night. No problem thought. Going to school to learn and at the same time to enjoy. Now many years have passed. I've come a long way anyway. Even though I haven't completely reached my dreams in life, I've come a long way towards it. Time flies so fast. I used of dreaming to grow up immediately or grow old right away before when I was a kid but now that I'm big and old, I feel like I want to go back to childhood hahaha. Oh well that's life, you don't know what you really want! Well, Happy Birthday Self! That's what I can tell myself. Even if other people don't remember my birthday, even if they don't greet me, it doesn't matter. My mother, my sister and my nephew who greet me was already enough. It's like that when you get old, that birthdays are not that important anymore and birthdays are not so celebrated because the important thing is that we are healthy on our birthdays and the Lord has given us another chance and another year to live again. Anyway, today's my birthday seems like a simple day. We didn't even prepare any food because we didn't really have a budget hahaha. But that doesn't matter to me because even if there is no food or gift, my birthday will still go on hahaha. I'll probably just recover for my next birthdays, and I am praying that by that time I will have a job so I can get at least a little preparation. I don't have much wishes for my birthday but for me and my family to be healthy. I can't ask for us to stop getting sick because I know it's inevitable, especially in our time when diseases spread really fast. So as long as my family and I are all healthy, I'm happy with that. And what I want the most is for us to settle all our debts this year, and when that happens I will be really happy. That's all there is no more hahaha. So I think I will end this article here. Thank you for reading and I really appreciate it. God bless us all. ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

@Expelliarmus30 28 January 2023

I need about $50 on February `January 28, 2023. Saturday.` In just a few days, the month of January will end again and we will enter another month, the month of **February**. The month of February is the month where I have expenses and I don't know where I will get money or payment for those expenses. In the first week of February, the amount I have to pay is already overflowing and of course it's not just in the first week of February because it's one after the other. **February 5, 2023** our sembreak will start so it means I need to pay all of my debt to the school registrar/cashier. College is free now, but when it's the 4th year, the fees are unavoidable. This 1st sem we will pay worth ***1,000 pesos or about $20***. That's what our tuition fee is now, but that's just for the first semester. I know that for others it is a small amount but for someone like me who is poor and life is not that comfortable, it is a big amount and the truth is that I don't know where I will get payment for it. Before February 5th was the payment deadline for it and now it is January 28th but I haven't saved anything or I really don't have any money set aside to pay. My pocket money is only enough for my daily expenses so I can't really save anymore. I would like to ask my mother for money first so that I can pay for that $20, but I always think that her salary from her current job is just enough to buy food every day and so on. Actually, my mother's salary is not enough for our daily living, so we really save money or *nagtitipid talaga kami*. So as long as possible, I don't want to ask my mother for money. My plan now is to first borrow money from people I know who can make a living or make ends meet, I mean people I know who have some extra money. I really hope I can borrow to at least one of them. And I am hoping that they will allow me to borrow from them or lend me some money. Then my other expense is the printing of my activities. It's almost 100+ pages and 1 page of type writing of print now costs 3-5 pesos here. So it means I need about ***300-500 pesos or about $10***. That's just for printing guys. Isn't it too expensive to study now? The due date of passing it is also before we have semester break. So in other words, my first week of February have overflowing expenses. But it doesn't end there. And since our 1st semester is coming to an end, it will be our second sem, which means we have to get undergo medical examination again, so in other words, that's another expense. Just now our school is announcing the schedule for passing the medical results and medical certificate. So this needs to be passed in the second week of February. My estimated medical expenses are about ***1000 pesos or $20***. In the past months, my expenses for all the medical reached 900+ pesos and that does not include the fare. The place where the medical center is still far away so I will have to spend a lot just for the fare alone. That's why I'm just now struggling with where I'm going to get money for the things I need to pay. **But even so, I still do not lose hope and I know that God is always there to guide me.** So that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine. Have a great day everyone. God bless. ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

My Mother's Birthday and some Random Thoughts. `January 24, 2023. Tuesday.` Hello people. How are you all? I haven't visited here in a few days and the reason for that is because I'm busy with my OJT and other things in my life hahahaha. Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. Yesterday was my **mother's birthday.** Time is really fast. I remembered that I had just written an article for my mother's birthday and I was surprised that it ayear has passed and yesterday was her birthday again. Last year, if I remember correctly, we did not prepare something for my mother's birthday. We were just at home and it seemed like a simple day, but we sang to her a birthday song. Because we didn't have money then. But the sad thing here is that even this year we still haven't prepared any food for my mother's birthday. I am very sad because of what happened. It's been a few years since she didn't celebrate her birthday, I mean she somehow had some food ready. That's why I said to myself that in the next few years I will really find a way to prepare for her birthday and at least give her gifts even just a simple thing as long as she will like it an she can use it. After all, I will graduate from college next year and hopefully I will have a job by that time. I just can't get rid of myself being sad because of the life we ​​have now. Our life is really hard now, as it is. We struggle for our daily food, household expenses, my allowance for OJT, bills and so on. We really struggle every day to survive. I don't understand why our life is like this. But as the saying goals the world is round, if you're at the bottom right now don't worry and you'll get to the top. That's why I hold onto that saying. Anyway next Monday is my birthday. My age will increas again and I will grow old again. hahahha. I just noticed that as you get older, the problem increases, right? hahahahaha. Besides, life seems to be getting sadder and sadder hehehehe. Maybe because when you get older you just prefer a more peaceful life, you don't like wandering around anymore and don't like to socialize to other people. Oh, I seem to have a lot of drama here hahaha. Maybe this is where I will end this article. Thank you very much for your reading. I love you always hihihi. God bless us all. Have a great day everybody! ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

We have some picture taking. `January 19, 2023. Thursday.` Good morning everyone! What's up? How are you all? Hoping everybody's doing fine with their lives now. So today as you can see or read in the title, I'm just going to share some of my pictures with my colleagues in On the Job Training or OJT in short. I already mentioned in my last blog or article about my OJT. Actually, the pictures I'm going to share with you today were taken a few days ago. I just picked our pictures in my gallery. Besides, I don't really like to post pictures, if you read my articles before you know about that. So now allowed me to share the pictures and the story behind it. This is our first picture that we are complete. There are only five of us in the Hotel where we are conducting OJT. That was the first time we were complete in the picture, because we didn't have lunch break together before and that time was the time we were allowed to eat lunch together. Yes, that picture was taken at noon. That place is the Penthouse of the said hotel where we are having our OJT. That place is beautiful and fortunately the manager there allows us to eat lunch there but she always reminds us to clean the place after we eat. The view there is beautiful because as usual it's a penthouse so what you can see there is the top view. The second picture is the five of us with two hotel staff. They are the housekeeping staff so they are the ones who guide us in what needs to be done. There are 2 more housekeeping men, but we don't have a picture with them yet. I am hoping that next time we can have them in the picture as well as the other hotel staff, the Kitchen staff, the Front Office staff, the HR or Human Resource and the Admin office. This third picture is me hihihi. That's on the terrace of the Penthouse. I was mesmerized by the view so I didn't waste the chance to take a picture. But that time we were in a hurry so I didn't get my pose right hahaha. I just stood there at the end and smiled. My other companions also have pictures, but I won't post them here for their privacy. Because those are solo pictures. But don't worry guys because the pictures posted above have consent from them before I posted it. And here is the last picture I will share for now. This is me and one of my colleagues/classmates who I am close to or get along with. This picture was also taken in the penthouse. We were a little haggard at that time because we had just finished work and had just taken a break to eat lunch. As you can see the person with me in the picture is still sweating hahaha. So I think this is the end of my article for today. Those are just some of the pictures that I have in my gallery and I will probably post the others on another day in my article. I will compile them again first hehehe. Thank you so much for reading this article for me. I really appreciate it. Have a great day to all of you. God bless. ****All photos used are mine.****

One week done on my OJT! `January 17, 2023. Tuesday.` Hello to all of you! I hope everyone is doing fine. Here I am and I'm coming back hahaha. But I also been absent here for a long time. I haven't written here for almost 1 week, I even said that I would start being active again but it didn't happen hahaha. Anyway, I have completed 1 week of OJT or On the Job Training. Today is my eighth day. The work here, in the company where I did my OJT is tiring because even though the tasks are not that heavy and the things that are ordered us to do are relatively light, it is still really tiring. I wake up at ***4:00 am*** because I need go to there at ***6:00 am*** and then my out is at ***5:00 pm*** or the end of my duty. See, my duty is 10 hours per day, who says that isn't tiring? Hahahahaha. The things I do in my OJT is housekeeping. I cleans the room, changes the beddings/pillowcase, do dusting, sweeps the floor and then also mops it, and finally cleans the Comfort Room which is difficult for me to do. Of course this is a hotel and different people check in or in other words different people use the rooms and also enter and use Comfort Room. I'm still very paranoid about CRs. That's why I'm really having a bit of a hard time cleaning the Comfort Room. But still I need to do it for me to pass the OJT or my subject and course hahhaha. I need many more weeks to go at OJT because I've only had one week and I have to complete 240 hours. I've only been here for a week but I'm so tired hahaha what about the next few weeks? Well that's also the reason why I'm so inactive on all of my social media accounts and platforms because I'm at OJT for almost half of the day and when I get home I'll wash my used clothes and of course I still have other household chores and ads to that is the school works need to be finished. Anyway I am still looking for a part time job until now because I can't find a good one. Some people suggest me to apply as a service crew in Fast Food Chain but I think I can't do and handle that because of my hectic schedule. So I choose to find a part time job online atleast if I am still here at my OJT I can do that. So I hope that in the next few days I can find one. I am doing my best so I wish my efforts will have a good outcome. So I think that's enough for now. Actually I'm writing this while I'm on OJT hahaha, but I'm on break so it's fine. And that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this. Love lots. God Bless. ****Lead image source: Unsplash****

@Expelliarmus30 8 January 2023

I miss blogging. January 8, 2023. Sunday. Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Yes, I know it's been a long time since it's January and we're already on the eighth day of it, but I'm just now greeting all of you. Well, I've been not here for a long time. Even before Rusty said his goodbye, I couldn't really write articles anymore. The reason for my constant absence from here before, **December 2022**, was my studies. I have been too busy studying, with the things I have to do and pass on various things. So even before Rusty disappeared, I wasn't really active here anymore, but to be honest, Rusty is also one of the reasons why I was inactive here. I'm not the only one who's lost here, there are many others as well. And we can't blame each other or anyone for the loss of the majority because we know to ourselves that we are making articles to earn some cents to help with our daily expenses. And now that Rusty is gone, there are only a few left and I call them ***"Loyal Read Cash Users"*** because even though they don't receive upvotes from the Random Rewarder, they keep writing and publishing articles. It means that writing has become their assigned passion because even though they don't earn much, they don't stop from their usual writing. Well, I also want to be like them to be honest, but there are many things that prevent me from doing that and one of them is my busyness with studies. But I don't blame my studies either because it is more important and needs to be prioritized above all else. But once I'm not really that busy in life and in my studies, I promise that when I really have free time, I will always write. Because Read Cash has done something different in my life, the kind that seems like something is missing every day when I don't write. I've gotten used to it that when I have free time during the day, I write and sometimes even though my schedule is so hectic and I'm so tired and sleepy, I still manage to write because it's really part of my day. And that's what I miss the most. So today I wrote again to get my thoughts out. Tomorrow, my On the Job Training or OJT in other words will start. This time I will be training in Industry. If in October to December 2022 my training was at school and I was observing and teaching children, now I will face the reality that is happening in industries or hotels, restaurants, resorts and so on. I also did immersion or like OJT in an Industry when I was in Grade 12 but it was only for 10 days and I don't do much work back then. And now it's different. Two hundred forty (240) hours of duty is what I have to finish in just 1 month. Yes, that's right, I need to complete 240 hours in just one month. My duty is eight hours a day and I don't have a day off, yes as in there is no day off because it only takes 1 month to finish. So in other words, I will be very busy again this week and in the following weeks. So I won't be able to write articles anymore. But I will really try my best that in the times when I don't have anything to worry about, I will still write. But it seems like it's as vague as that because I have piles of activities and requirements that aren't being done hahaha. But like the saying goes ***"nothing is impossible if you want to do it"***, you will everything if you really want to. So let's just see what happens and where time will take me. Above all, I was really saddened by what happened, the Random Rewarder letting go. I still thought that I would be able to finish college while Rusty was still around. It's just sad because in just a few months I was about to finish school and then my main source of income suddenly disappeared. Yes, my main source of income is actually Read Cash, as you all know I'm still a student so I haven't really been able to work in the corporate world or I haven't really been able to work full time yet. I consider Read Cash as my Part Time Job, that's why when Rusty disappeared, I felt like I lost my part time job too. But whatever happens, life goes on. Just like Read Cash, whether Rusty or the Random Rewarder is gone, Read Cash is still operating and users are still writing. So I must say, we should just continue with life. And that's all for today. I just really thought about writing again because I really missed doing articles or blogging. So thank you so much for reading this article of mine. Have a great day.
