First thing that you think of in the Morning
August 27, 2022. Saturday.
Hello to all of you. I've been getting a bit busy in my life these past few days, that's why I can't write articles often, but since I have a goal this month that I want to achieve, so I'm still trying my best to write at least in my free time. I also really need to work hard to make money because I'm a bit needy and I'm really lacking in money right now. I have so many expenses and bills so that its not allowed for me just stare at nothing all day.
A while ago I posted on my **Noise Cash** account. I am asking if someone from you know any Legit Earning Apps or Sites. I'm in a bit lacking on what I'm earning now and I'm already spending my savings so I need to have a new source of income or a sideline so that I can get back what I'm deducting from my savings. If you also know or use any legit apps and sites, please share and I will try it.
Well I can't think of a proper topic today because my mind is pre-occupied. And as I want this article to be longer, I will be answering Random Questions to add something up. This is really my savior and most people's savior whenever we experience writer's block. I won't make it any longer, let's get started!
What is the first thing that you think of in the morning?
What will happen throughout my day. Sometimes I've just woken up but I'm thinking about the future and the days to come. That's really how I think, I'm a bit advanced. If you're a troubled person like me, you probably always think the same way every time you wake up, what will happen in the next few days. These past few days I've been a bit stressed about my life and my family's life. We have big problems again and to be honest it's hard to solve them, because it's about money. We are not rich, so money is always our problem, but I can't do anything because it's really a problem of us and problem is unending. But in the end I don't lose hope that one day grace will come to us and we will be able to solve all of this.
Are you a giver or a taker?
I think I belong to the Giver. I often put other people first than myself especially when it comes to my family. I can't refuse them when they need something from me whether it's about money or they need my help. And even though I myself have nothing, I still give to them and help, they are really my first priority. But not only to my family, sometimes I also give everything or help to my friends and other people.
**What website do you visit the most?**
Is that still being asked? What else it can be? Of course its Read Cash. This is the website that I visit almost every now and then. Whether I'm busy or not, I never forget to come here and see what's going on. Well, the question was a website, but if it was an App, I would probably answer YouTube. I rarely visit Facebook now because I only see sad and miserable things happening there so I avoid it because it affects my emotions.
What kind of old person do you want to grow up to become?
Loving and understanding. The most important thing for a person is to be loving to others. Being understanding is one of the things you need when you get older. It is important that you know how to understand what other people is going through. For now, that's all I can answer, but I can add more in the future.
What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations?
Of course, you should have low expectations. It's hard to expect so much and then eventually you don't get it or it doesn't happen. That is often the reason why other people lose hope, because their expectation did not happen, they feel bad and sometimes they don't want to try again. That's why we should not expect too high only, we should be expecting low. At least if what you expect doesn't happen, you won't be hurt right away because you didn't expect too much.
If you also want to answer some of this, you can click it **here** and generate your own Questions. https://www.conversationstarters.com/generator.php
That's all I'll answer for now. There will be more next time for me to answer random questions again, so that's all for now, let's take it easy.
And that's all for today. I hope you had fun and enjoyed reading this article of mine. Until again. Happy Saturday to everyone.

My Story for Today
August 25, 2022. Thursday.
Today I woke up early. Just like I said yesterday, I have something scheduled to do today and that is the Medical Screening.
I set the alarm at **6:30 am** last night but I was already awake around **6:00 am** earlier. I even beat my alarm hahaha. Usually, even when my alarm clock goes ringing, I just sleep on it hahaha, but earlier I woke up before it went off.
When I woke up, I immediately fixed my bed. I was about to take a shower but someone was still in the bathroom, someone was still using it. The students and the workers are in back to school and work again so they used the bathroom at the same time. We have 2 bathrooms here at home, but both was already occupied. So the first thing I did was cook my breakfast. When someone finishes using the bathroom, I'm the next one. I was able to cook and eat but there was still someone inside the bathroom. I was a bit annoyed earlier because I woke up early but I was also still be late. A few minutes passed and someone came out of a bathroom, that person had been there for over half an hour. I suddenly went in to take a shower because it's almost **7:00 am** and I need to leave the house at **8:00 am** because I still have documents that need to be xerox copied and printed. But when I entered the bathroom, I was disappointed again. How is it that the water is so weak that my urine is actually stronger than that? But because I really needed to take a shower, I just take a shower even though the water running so slow. I didn't enjoy my shower and I didn't rinse my body properly. I know that the water often slows down every morning because there are many students who bathe at the same time, but I was just annoyed because when I was in a hurry, that thing happened.
So as usual I was a few minutes late before I got to school. That's why when I got there, the line at the Clinic was so long. I was sweating a lot during those times because I was running and rushing to get to school.
It also took me more than 2 hours at school before I could pass and do everything I needed to do. I thought it would be easy for me to stay there because only 4th year students are scheduled for Medical Screening this week and there are not that many 4th year students in our school, but there are still 1st year to 3rd year students there. In short, they were late and just get along on us, 4th year students, for medical screening, so the queue got very long. Fortunately, the Clinic has accommodated everyone and they no longer followed the 100 slots per Morning and 100 slots per Afternoon.
Once I entered our School clinic, the transaction is quick because there are many staff there and they are taking care of everything. Fortunately, they thought to hire more staff so that the students would not get into trouble. Before, there were only a few staff there so the line moved very slowly and every transaction was slow.
After I'm done with the Clinic, I went straight to the Registrar to hand over the slip that the Clinic gave me and the Consent Form that they required us to print and needed to be filled out. It only took me a short time there, it was about less than 10 minutes before I was able to pass the documents.
And after all the tiredness I experienced today, I deserve a treat. So I ate at Jollibee. What I ordered was Chicken with Double Rice. I was really hungry so I chose to eat rice. My friend and I really intended to eat at Mang Inasal but when we entered there were too many people and there were no available tables because all of it was occupied. That's why we ended up at Jollibee again.
And that's what happened today. That's what happened when I went to school. I just go today to school for medical screening only nad not to enroll because it is not yet scheduled, so maybe next week I will go to the school for the enrollment.
And that's all for today. Thank you so much for always reading my articles. I appreciate it a lot and Love you all guys.

Things I need to buy before my Class starts.
August 24, 2022. Wednesday.
The schedule of me going to our school for the Medical Screening is tomorrow. The Screening was postponed for 2 days due to the cancellation of work and classes due to Typhoon Florita. And tomorrow it's back to work and school again because the typhoon has already left the country. It means I will wake up early tomorrow so I can't sleep late later, actually my alarm is already set for **6:30 am.** That's the time I need to wake up, because I can't go to school late because they only accommodate limited slots, so I really need to be early.
And because of that I can say that our face to face classes are getting closer. Yesterday our school announced the enrollment but there is no schedule yet and the post says that we just need to prepare the necessary requirements so that once they have posted the schedule we will not have any difficulties, will not be confused and will not have many questions/inquiries, all we have to do is go to the school and pass the requirements.
And that's why one day I thought of writing in my notepad on my phone the things that I will need to buy for our upcoming face to face classes. And here they are:
Bag
First of all, that's the main thing I need because that's where I'll put the things I need. I used to have a bag but it's old so I want to change it.
Notebooks and Papers
I don't need many notebooks now because I only have 2-3 subjects, but I still need to buy one for when I need to write some notes from the discussions. Maybe I will buy 2 notebooks only. The papers I pertaining to are Yellow Paper. College students use that kind of paper.
Black Shoes
We have a new uniform so we also need Black Shoes. When I was only in my 1st year/freshmen, we didn't have uniforms and any kind of clothes were fine, so I didn't really have black shoes. That's why now that we have a Uniform to wear, I need to buy Black Shoes so I can use something.
Foot Sacks
I already have foot sacks that I haven't used before so I'm only going to buy two, just to add on. Of course I need that because I will be wearing Balck Shoes.
Cycling Shorts/Boylegs
I lost those last time when our house was flooded, the flood swept it all away. I used to have a lot of them but there wasn't even one left so I had to buy a new one. I will use those cycling shorts to wear inside the skirt of my uniform.
Neck Tie Pins
I need that to hold my Neck Tie. Because the type of our neck tie is not the one that is just tied and you have to use pins to wear it properly. I'm not just talking about ordinary/normal pins, they're not the pins used in sewing, they're a different class of pins.
ID Card Holder
The ID card holder I have now is also old. It has turned a little yellow and doesn't look clean anymore, so I really need a new one. I didn't buy a ID holder for a long time because I didn't use my ID because classes are only here at home only.
Bra/Undergarment
I also need this undergarment for my Uniform blouse. I already have a Bra, guys, but I just want to add new ones so that I have a lot to change. As you can see in the picture, it has already a checked on it, which means I have already bought it. And yes, I ordered it from Lazada last day and it arrived. I bought new bras and they are the light colors, because our blouse is white, so it is necessary to use light colors Bra to be used on the inside so that it is not too obvious.
I still need to buy a lot for my upcoming Face to face classes and I just didn't include it in the list. Including there are ***Alcohol, Sanitizers, Tissues/Wipes and others*** that I forgot. Once I remember those things, I will immediately put them on my checklist so that I don't miss them again.
Those are just some of the things I need to buy and prepare before our class starts. I still have less than 3 weeks to buy that and hopefully I will have additional budget so that I can buy all of that.
And that's all for today. Thank you so much for reading this article of mine. I hope you all have a good day!

A supposedly Happy Fiesta suddenly turned Sad
August 23, 2022. Tuesday.
Hello. Hello. Hello! Is everyone happy because our beloved bot **Rusty** is back? Well I think so. This platform has been sad for a few days because Rusty suddenly disappeared and suddenly didn't show up so everyone was really tainted with sadness. But even so, we should just continue like other users did. Even though Rusty was gone for a few days, they continued to publish articles. Maybe it's because **BCH** is so low that is why Rusty has disappeared in the past few days. Because we know that once the value of BCH falls, Rusty also saves on giving out rewards. And this morning, the price of BCH went up again, so he appeared again. Well, Rusty visited me last night, I just didn't notice right away. I also posted that on my Noise Cash account. Even though it was a small amount, I was still happy because he finally visited me after 2 days.
**2 days**. I haven't written here in two days. On Sunday and yesterday, Monday. Well, I treat ***Sunday*** as my rest day. If you notice, I don't really publish articles every Sunday because that's my day off here at Read Cash. But don't worry because I also read articles every Sunday, not only do I publish my articles. And another thing, Sunday is my exercise or work out day, so that's also the reason why I don't really write on that day. Yesterday, ***Monday***, I didn't publish either because Rusty was gone. I was nervous that the Read cash might really end, so many things came to my mind that's why I couldn't write an article hahahaha. I overthink badly. Because I thought, where else can I get extra income if Read Cash is also gone? As for Noise Cash, I'm not that active there, so my income is not that good, I just buy loads of what I earn there. So that's why yesterday, after overthinking, I started looking for ways to earn money online. I went back to the sites and platforms where I signed up before, except for Hive, because I can't deal with Hive right now because I know that I still need to learn a lot before I can start there. I did that just in case Rusty never came back. At least I can go somewhere if the Read Cash is gone. But now Rusty is here again and I won't be too nervous.
Anyway, today was supposed to be the schedule for my ***Medical Screening*** at our University, but because the school classes and some government agencies suspend classes and work due to ***typhoon Florita***, my schedule today was canceled. There will be no school until tomorrow, so the schedule for me to go to our University for the medical screening is on the 25th of August.
The return to ***Face to face classes*** just started yesterday and now there is no classes again hahaha, it seems that the time really don't want classes to be face to face again. But maybe after the typhoon everyone went back to school. And how are the students here who entered school for the first time yesterday? Was your first day of class worth it, guys?
By the way, Today is also The ***Fiesta*** in our barangay, but because it rained, it doesn't seem like a fiesta. Earlier when I went out to buy food for us at noon, there was almost no one on the road. I also didn't smell anyone cooking preparations for the Fiesta. Well, who would want to prepare when it's raining and storming like this? What was supposed to be a happy Fiesta turned sad. There should be a band playing here with us or there is an event at the Covered Court of our barangay but it was canceled because of the bad weather. But there's really nothing we can do, maybe we'll just make bawi na lang next year.
And that's all for today. This is just a little update. Thank you for still reading and supporting my articles. Thank you so much to all of you. Have a great day.

Bridgette is now a mom!
August 20, 2022. Saturday.
Yesterday was the day Bridgette gave birth to her puppies. I didn't tell you before that Bridgette was pregnant. But I'm planning to do an article bout her pregnancy it just happens to be something I always forget. Poor self hahaha. And here it is, Bridgette got pregnant a few months ago. I'm not sure if she is already pregnant in the month of May. But it was already June when we noticed that hier tummy was getting bigger. We didn't immediately know that she was pregnant because we didn't expect it because she was always at home so we were surprised when she became pregnant. Well, she goes out every night so maybe that's the time she mates with her fellow dogs.
Those are some of Bridgette's pictures when she is pregnant. I'm sorry because the pictures have poor quality, I couldn't take good pictures of her when she was pregnant because every time I put the camera in front of her, she doesn't seem to want to take pictures and sometimes she even walks away. Maybe she didn't want to take pictures in those days. That's why I only picture her when she's sleeping or not looking at me. You can see in the picture that her stomach is big and her breasts are already formed, because she is producing milk. Bridgette often just slept when she was pregnant and she always seemed to be very lazy. But she became brave when she started to get pregnant. Whenever someone comes that she doesn't know or is not familiar with, she barks at them and sometimes even chases them. We didn't tie her up because my grandmother said she would be braver if we did that. So we the thing we do is always close our gate so she can't get out right away.
Time flies so fast. It seems like the last time I posted that there was a new member of our family and it was Bridgette. She was very young when my sister brought her home and only a few months ago she got pregnant and now she has children of her own.
***From a cute puppy to a pretty dog and now a mommy of 5 puppies.***
We knew that yesterday Bridgette was going to give birth because she couldn't be restless starting from morning. She was shivering even though it wasn't that cold here in our place. And she always wants someone with her, when she is left alone she will follow us inside the house. In the afternoon we fell asleep, I don't often sleep in the afternoon but yesterday I took a nap and what woke me up was the cry of a puppy. We didn't realize that Bridgette had given birth because she gave birth very quietly. Her first puppy was born outside our house and she brought it inside the house to show us that she already gave birth and when the puppy cried we woke up from sleeping. We have already accompanied Bridgette outside the house and we are also carrying her first child. After a while, another baby came out of her. It take long time for the third puppy to come out, especially the fourth and fifth. Almost 2 hours passed before her four and five puppies came out.
Yes, Bridgette had **five babies**. Five healthy and cute puppies. I haven't taken a picture of them yet because the place they are in is not clean yet, I mean, the place there is some dirt there. There is still blood and a little dirt from Bridgette's delivery. We'll clean it up before I take a photos of them. For now I will first tell you the color and gender of Bridgette's babies.
**1st baby**: Pure White. It's a Boy
**2nd baby**: I don't know if it's a pure Black or it's a color Ash. But it's a Girl.
**3rd baby**: White with dots of Black. It's a Girl.
**4th baby**: Pure Brown. It's a Boy.
**5th baby**: Body is Brown but its face is Black. It's a girl.
So all in all Bridgette's puppyies are 2 male and 3 female.
Time really flies so fast. It seems like we just a while ago when we took care of Bridgette and now Bridgette's have her own puppies and we will take care of and raise them.
The babies don't have names yet and I'm just thinking about it. The first baby has a tentative name of ***"Tisoy"*** my mother thought of that. She said because it is Pure White and male so the name"Tisoy" is appropriate. But I'm not sure if that's what we'll name him.
You can suggest a name for Bridgette's babies. It would have been better if it was a unique name. Thank you in advance.
***New dose of happiness has been added and will bring joy to our house.***
And that's all for today. I hope you enjoy reading my article. Thank you very much for continuing to support me. God bless you all.

Malay nyo swertehin na tayo sa Next Life natin.
August 19, 2022. Friday.
Alam naman siguro ng karamihan sa atin ang dahilan kung bakit tayo naririto. Bukod sa pakikipagkaibigan sa ibang tao, hobby or fast time, hilig sa pagsusulat, hilig sa pagbabasa at pagbuhog sa skills natin sa pagsusulat ay isa sa pinakaimportanteng dahilan kung bakit tayo narito ay para kumita ng pera.
Hindi naman siguro tayo narito kung nasa maayos na estado ang buhay natin. Kung hindi tayo hirap sa pera. Kung marangya lang ang pamumuhay natin ay siguro wala naman tayo. Depende na lang kung passion talaga ng isang tao ang pagsusulat ng article kaya kahit na hindi naman sya nangangailangan ng pera ay patuloy pa rin syang sumusulat dahil hindi nya maiaalis sa sistema nya ang pagsusulat.
Alam ko na hindi lang naman ako ang nag iisang tao na naririto ang mahirap, alam ko yung iba dito ay katulad ko din naman. Kapareho ko na naghahangad lang din na kumita ng kahit kakaonting halaga para lang may pangtustos sa mga gastusin sa bahay man o sa pag aaral. Alam ko na marami din akong katulad dito na estudyante pa lang at gumagawa din ng paraan para suportahan ang pag aaral sa pamamagitan nga ng pagsusulat dito.
Ang hirap naman kasi talaga ng buhay eh kaya lahat ng pwedeng pagkakitaan ay papasukin talaga natin. Maliit man o malaking halaga ang makukuha natin dito basta ang mahalaga ay meron pa ring pagkakakitaan.
Kaya pumasok sa isip ko na ***paano kaya kung swertehin na ako sa next life ko?*** Biglang akong natuwa at na-excite na rin dahil paano nga kung magkakatotoo yun, wala naman kasing makakapagsabi.
Kung sakaling maging marangya nga ang buhay ko sa next life ko ay hindi na ako mahihirapan pagdating sa pera. Hindi na ako laging mamomroblema. Kadalasan kasi ang dahilan ng mga problema ko ay tungkol sa pera, kasi yun naman talaga ang pangunahing pinoproblema ng mga mahihirap na tulad ko.
**Kaya sana nga ay swertehin ako sa next life ko at sana ay kayo din para lahat tayo masaya.** Alam ko naman na lahat tayo ay nahihirapan sa mga buhay natin ngayon kaya I wish sana lahat tayo ay swertehin sa ating mga next life. Pero teka, naniniwala ba kayo na may next life pa nga tayo? Well depende na sa inyo yan.
Wala eh, bigla lang talagang napadpad sa utak ko yung usapin tungkol sa next life. Kanina kasi habang nag iisip isip ako ng mga solusyon sa mga problema na kinakaharap ko ngayon which is family problems, personal problems, health problems, financial problems, upcoming school expenses at iba pa, bigla kong naisip na kung sakaling mayaman lang ako ay hindi siguro ako nahihirapan at namomroblema ng ganito. Kaya naisip ko na sana sa next life ko ay swertehin na ako. Wala namang masama na hangarin ang bagay na yan pero syempre alam ko naman na wala akong kasiguraduhan tungkol dyan. Kaya sa ngayon ang kailangan ko talagang gawin ay magsikap, magtiyaga at kailangan ko pang mas sipagan sa lahat ng mga ginagawa ko dahil alam kong lahat ng effort ko ngayon ay magbubunga rin naman in the future so kailangan ko lang magpatuloy ng mapatuloy sa buhay. Hindi naman kasi mawawala ang mga pagsubok at problema dahil kadikit na talaga yan ng buhay kaya ay tanging magagawa lang natin ay harapin ito at gawan ng solusyon.
*Kayo, anong thoughts nyo about next life? Or ang tanong ay meron nga ba?*
That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed and had fun reading this article of mine. Thank you very much. Happy Thursday.

A cold Wednesday
**August 18, 2022. Thursday.**
***Hello everyone. How are you all? I hope everyone is still doing great.***
Yesterday the weather was very cold here in our place that's why I was too lazy to write an article hahahaha I still told myself that I shouldn't be lazy anymore but look what I did. I'm sad for myself. I haven't been productive for a day. I also didn't do any exercise or workout yesterday because it was raining. My exercise/workout day is actually scheduled for Wednesday and Sunday. But because the road outside was wet and besides it was very cold just in the morning because it was raining when I woke up. It's so lazy to move when the weather is like that, it's raining then it's cold and then when you leave the house you'll just get wet and muddy on the road. That's why it's a good idea to just stay inside the house and then just lie down in the room and wrap yourself in a blanket so you don't get cold.
And yesterday I was doing just that all day. I was just inside our room watching videos, vlogs and clips on my phone. When I got too lazy to watch and my eyes hurt from staring at the screen, I stopped.
I took my ***Ukulele*** and that's what I was busy with. I also held it for a few hours and practiced different chords and songs. It's also a good feeling when you play and sing while it's raining, it's like you're accompanying the downpour, it's just a good feeling. But it would have been better if my voice was also good, but it's not. It seems that those who hear me singing are annoyed and irritated hahaha, so I just played my Ukulele instead of singing. When I started to get tired and my fingers hurt from touching the strings of the Ukulele, I quit.
Image source: ***Lucky Me Pancit Canton*** https://godyaryo.com/2020/04/28/your-favorite-lucky-me-pancit-canton-is-back/
And then when I got hungry (lunch was over by this time) I decided to cook ***Pancit Canton***, my all time favorite. No matter what others say about Pancit Canton, I still have no doubts. They say Pancit Canton is not safe to eat because it has such ingredients that are harmful for us, but this is still my favorite. Especially yesterday the weather was cold, it was right and perfect to eat Pancit Canton and then have a slice of bread/egg and coffee. My trips are like that when it rains. Well, I know that eating Pancit Canton all the time has a really bad effect, because it's an instant noodles. I've heard many people say that the cause of their UTI (Unrinary Tract Infection) is the constant eating of Pancit Canton, which I think is true because the same thing happened to my cousin. As for me, I don't eat Pancit Canton every day, only when I crave for it and it seems like 3-4 times a month. By the way, my favorite flavor of Pancit Canton is **Sweet and Spicy**. ***How about you, what flavor is your favorite?***
At night, I did the same thing, lay in bed, wrapped a blanket, watched TV shows and when I was bored, I watched something on my cellphone. There's nothing like that when the weather is too cold, it's like it's too hard to move the body and there will be laziness hahahaha.
And let's go to the present, today, let's stop taking about the past hahahha joke!
Today I did laundry. The sun shone today so I took advantage of it and maybe tomorrow it will rain again. I haven't finished all my laundry yet because it has accumulated quite a bit. I hope it will continue to be sunny tomorrow so I can wash our clothes again. I just stopped doing laundry today because I'm really tired and another thing is that I don't have space to hang clothes because our neighbor's clothes rack occupied a lot of space again hahaha. So I'll just continue my laundry tomorrow.
Later, I will do light exercise or work out. Because I didn't do that yesterday. As for writing this it's already 3:00 in the afternoon, later today around 5:00 pm I will exercise so that it won't be too hot.
And that's all for today. Thank you so much for still reading my articles, I really appreciate it. Hope you enjoyed this one. And I wish everyone to have a good day.

Let them judge you but just keep on shining like you do.
August 16, 2022. Tuesday.
We can't do anything about what other people want to think about us. Because we can't control their minds. So we usually just tell ourselves to let them have what they want to say about us.
And while I was looking and searching in the internet for a quote about judgmental people, I found this one.
I was impressed by what this phrase or quote wanted to convey, that's why I thought of making an article.
**Let them judge you.**
Just like I said earlier, we can't please all people so sometimes we just let them judge us. It's really hard to control someone from whatever they say about us even if you show them only goodness. So we tell ourselves to let them have their lives, let them say what they want to say and let them do what they want as long as we know to ourselves that we are not doing anything wrong to them.
**Let them misunderstand you.**
Sometimes we know that there are misunderstandings between us and other people, so that sometimes it causes bad things to happen. We will hear some words from them that will sometimes be bad because they don't understand us. The only important thing is that we know ourselves what is true and they don't see it. Sometimes when a person doesn't like you, no matter what you say, they won't believe you, but I say leave those kinds of people alone. Those people who immediately judge us even if they don't know us yet and if we talk, they won't listen to us. Lets say no to such kind of people.
**Let them gossip about you.**
This is the current trend. Whether you did something bad or not, people will still talk about you. If before they would talk to you while you turned your back, now it's different, even if you're facing and you can hear them by yourself, they'll talk about you. *Chismosas or Marites* have such a thick face today, they are not really shy anymore. So let's just let them do what they do. We know from ourselves that if we just talk to them, we will waste our time because usually the gossip they accuse about us is not true.
**Their opinions aren't your problem.**
What they want to say is not really our problem anymore. We're out of there. All the words that come out of their mouths should be ignored by us. Let them say whatever they want. After all, it's a person's right to say what's inside of them or what's their opinion, so we can't do anything about it. That's why we who have broad understanding should just understand them. We will only get into a fight if we contradict what they say. So let's not think too much about their opinions about us. As long as possible, let's just do the things that we think are right and we won't be affected by their opinion.
**You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity.**
Let's just stay kind because God always blesses the kind. And kind people always stay away from troubles. And another quote says ***"Kill them with kindness"***. Maybe if we show them our kindness without stopping and we don't hit them, they will get bored. Another one, let's stay committed to love, let's always choose love. May love always reign in our hearts. Let's not keep anger and hatred in our hearts because it will not be good for us. Until we can always choose to be kind and loving, let's choose it. And let's not be afraid to show everyone who and what we really are. It's not our fault if they don't like us because the important thing is that we really bring out the real us and we don't pretend to be one.
**No matter what they do or say, don't you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth.**
You shouldn't doubt yourself because of what other people say about you. We are all born good and beautiful, we just have differences and our beauty is not the same. But no matter what happens, love yourself because no one else will do that for you but you only. Just like they say, always love, but don't give all your love to others, always save for yourself. And no matter what they say, just will always be proud of the real you and love the beauty that you have.
And always remember,
***Just keep shining like you do.***
And I'll just leave you with a saying that we've heard it all the time.
***"Alam mo lang ang pangalan ko pero hindi mo alam ang mga pinagdaan ko"***
English translation:
***"You only know my name but you don't know what I've been through"***
Each of us probably knows what that means so I won't explain it anymore.
So to all the judgemental out there, all I can say to you is that you don't know what everyone is going through, so I hope you all choose to be kind.
And that's all for today. I hope you liked this article and I hope you enjoyed reading it. Thank you very much and Happy Tuesday.

After the Party
August 15, 2022. Monday.
Yesterday before noon some guests came to the house. Those are my grandfather's brothers. They say they will pick us up and send us to the house of another brother of my grandfather because there is said to be a birthday party held at that house. It's because it's the birthday of one of their niece, that's what my grandfather's brother said. And that person is my grandfather niece too. I hope you still get what I'm saying guys, I know it's difficult and messy but I hope you still understand hahaha. But to make it easier and better for you to understand, the one who had a birthday is a distant relative of mine, well she is still my aunt but she is a distant relative when it comes to me. Only my grandfather can really be said to be a close relative because she is his niece.
Whenever there are parties and celebrations at the side of my grandfather's family, we usually don't attend because it always ends up being just drinking. Well, of course there are also prepared foods but there are more wines, it seems, more people attend not to eat but to drink. Because that's the type of party and celebration on my grandfather's side, so my mother doesn't want us to go when they invite us.
My grandmother and my mother also did not want and don't allow my grandfather to go to that party because he was old and then they would make him drink alcohol and get drunk. Yes, there is no age limit for getting drunk on my grandfather's side, whether you are a minor or an adult, you will still be invited to drink, which is why my mother does not want us to celebrate with them because that is their custom. Yesterday we would not allow my grandfather to go to that party because we already know what will happen next but sometimes when we don't allow my grandfather he sulks. He says that once he gets to be with his brothers and relatives, we still forbid him to go with them, which is true because he only gets to see and be with his brothers once or twice a year. Well, there's a good reason why we don't want to. But so that the grandfather would not sulk, we allowed him. And besides, he has already picked up right here at home, so can we still refuse in that situation? It's embarrassing if we say that my grandfather can't and you guys are the only ones to have the party. That's why we couldn't do anything but let my grandfather join them and celebrate. My mother and my sister and I will not go together. My grandmother planned to come so that my grandfather would have a guard, but for the reason that she really didn't want to mix with those people, she didn't come.
The party starts from lunch until afternoon. We who were left at home just did what we were really doing and my grandfather let celebrate with his relatives there at the party.
I did an exercise/workout yesterday guys, so I achieved my goal of exercising once or twice a week. On Wednesday, I also exercised, yes, but only for a while, unlike yesterday, which lasted a little longer. But that's not a problem anymore because last Friday I spent most of the day walking and sweating so it's like I've exercised also.
Let's get back to the topic. At about **7:00 pm**, my grandfather arrived from the party. Someone who was his brother brought him because my grandfather was very drunk, he couldn't walk properly anymore so he was supported until he got inside his and my grandmother's room. My grandfather is loud when he is drunk. He was getting brave and my grandmother said that he can even hurt a people before. All the bad words come out of his mouth because of the influence of alcohol. We thought that my grandfather was going to sleep because he is brought to the room already, but he got up and left the room in just a few minutes. After a while, he started shouting and fighting with all of us in the house. He wanted to kicked us out and told us not to live here. The one he is forcing to evict is my uncle who lives next door to our house. Well, there is a reason why he asked him to leave because he did not share in paying for water and electricity bill since he live there and he was also allowed to live in that house for free. But my grandfather doesn't do that when he's sober, he doesn't say that to my uncle, he was just really drunk last night so he was able to say it face to face.
As others say,
***"Ang alak ay dinadala sa tyan at hindi sa utak"***
Translation:
***"Alcohol is brought to the stomach and not to the brain".*** I can say that my grandfather is one of those people that when he drinks alcohol, it is brought to the brain, so his behavior becomes like that.
But I think my grandfather is right and he has a point. My uncle wants to use only electricity and water but he doesn't want to share and pay when he is billed. So I can't blame my grandfather because no one would agree to that. The only problem is that he immediately want to kicks my uncle out (well he is drunk so it is understandable why he does that) but this uncle of mine knows that my grandfather is drunk but still he shouting at my grandfather. That's why there was trouble at our house last night. The reason why I couldn't write an article yesterday either. I won't go into detail about what chaos happened, but luckily my mother saw the mess and stopped it right away.
I feel that my grandfather was triggered by his relatives so he did that. I told you that the behavior of my grandfather's relatives is strange and we will not be surprised if what they said to my grandfather triggered him to fight with all of us here at home.
*So all I can say is that, it is true that what follows fun and celebration is chaos. That's why alcohol should be consumed in moderation because if you drink too much alcohol, it will have different effects on you.*
And that's all for today. Thank you so much for still reading my articles. Have a nice day to all of you!

I'm done with Medical Examination
August 13, 2022. Saturday.
This article is just a continuation of my article yesterday entitled **I am very tired today.** So without further ado, I will continue the story I interrupted yesterday. https://read.cash/@Expelliarmus30/i-am-very-tired-today-4e7db276
And since I couldn't urinate because my stomach didn't have much water, I thought of buying bottled water at the convenience store I saw that was also close to that place. I drank and drained all the contents of the bottled water so I was sure I was about to pee. I waited for a few minutes and went back to the clinic to try to see if any urine would come out of me but I failed again. Maybe I'm not used to peeing in public bathrooms because I'm more used to the bathroom at our house hahahha. And when I thought that the time was wasted, I decided to go home. I messaged my classmates/friends that I'm going home first because I'm going to eat so I can poop and drink a lot of water so I can pee (sorry to those who are reading that are eating). I feel like I'm not really used to just using it in other bathrooms, so it's more comfortable if I just do it at my house. And they said it was okay and they would just wait for me to come back. They were already in the X-Ray room when they messaged me and they said they were about to finish there, so when they finished, they said they would eat at **Mang Inasal** first so they could fill their stomachs and poop. And they said that I we'll see each other there (Mang Inasal) when I'm coming back.
So I went home after reading their message/chat. So it's another fare. When I got home I went straight to the bathroom. I tried to pee and I did, I even filled the cup that was given to me. I also tried to defecate (sorry again to the people eating) and after a few minutes I defecated. Having said that, I really need to be at home to use the bathroom to do those things. After I finished using our CR, I took a rest first. I would have eaten first but I still feel full because I drank too much water. So I rested for a few more minutes. A little while later, my friends messaged me that they were at Mang Inasal and were about to finish eating. I was surprised because they finished eating so quickly. So I hurried to fix myself and left the house. Another fare again.
I had planned to go to Mang Inasal first but I already had my Urine and Feces with me so I decided to go at the Clinic and pass it on. It's already **12:00 pm** and it needs to be passed before noon so that I can get the results in the afternoon, around **4:00 pm.** So after I passed those two, I went straight to the X-ray room. Fortunately, there were only a few people in line there so I didn't have to wait long for the x-ray. So after I finished there, I went straight to Mang Inasal. When I got there I saw that they were already outside. They said they couldn't defecate/poop in the bathroom there because there were too many users. Besides, I also said to myself that they can't really defecate there because it will smell hahaha and because the bathroom there is very close to each other. Anyway I thought I can eat at Mang inasal yesterday but it doesn't happen. I kept regretting it because I haven't eaten there in a while and I really wanted to eat at Mang Inasal yesterday. But that fine anyway.
They talked and decided to go to the house of one of our friends for them to use the bathroom there. I have no choice because I'm the only one who won't go with them and I'll be the only one who will be left behind if that's the case, so I went with them. So another fare again. When we were at my friend's house, I was hungry. I said to my friend that I will go out and look for food that can be bought. They said we were going to be staying at that house for a while, so I thought I might as well eat first. I saw a **Jollibee** so I didn't think twice and I ordered and take out the food I wanted. I didn't eat rice, only once I didn't eat rice at lunch. I missed Jollibee's spaghetti so that's what I ordered. And then I ate there at our friend's house. After I finished eating, I waited for them. After a few minutes they were ready to leave and they were going to go to the clinic. So another fare again.
When we got to the Clinic, they immediately passed what they needed to pass. And we were told to wait for the result at about 4:00 pm. So we still have 2 hours. That's why we went to Optometric Clinic first for the Snellen test. *Another fare guys, have you counted how many fares I've had?* Hahaha. When we got there, the line was quite long. It's still hot because it's noon, it worst that we had no choice because we have to line up outside because there can't be many people inside. We waited in line for about an hour before we got inside. But when we got inside, it was just a short process and the test was done immediately. When we all finished the Snellen Test, we went back to the Clinic. It's only a few minutes because it's almost 4:00 pm. So another fare back to the clinic.
When we arrived at the Clinic, they were already distributing the results, there were only a few people in line because there were people before us who had already gotten the results. When I got the results, I was about to go home because I was so tired. *Who doesn't get tired of going back and forth to different Clinics and Places?* But one of my friends suggested that we go to Bargain first because she said there are many cheap things we can buy there. I, who was enticed, went anyway even though I was very tired. But before **6:00 pm** and the sun had set, I decided to say goodbye to them because my legs were really tired. We spent the whole day standing and queuing at the Clinics we went to. I went home before them, they stayed there and wandered around until night.
When I get home, I want to take a shower and lie down, but I can't because I'm tired. So I rested for about 1 hour.
And that's why I was so tired yesterday. I feel like I don't need to exercise anymore because just yesterday it was worth it. I walked a lot and sweated a lot. But anyway that's the reason why I was so tired. But the important thing is that I am done with the medical examination and I will just wait for our medical screening schedule at the University.
That's all for today. Thank you for reading and I hope you had fun and enjoyed reading this article. Happy Saturday to all of you!

I am very tired today
August 12, 2022. Friday.
Today I am really tired. Today is also the day that I undergo for medical examination or laboratory tests. The other day, one of my friends and at the same time my classmate was suddenly chatting and she was asking me to go with her to undergo for medical examination because our other classmate are going with her also. At first I didn't want it because it was still early. We are scheduled for medical screening on **August 22** and the due date is still until **August 30.** I also thought that the Urinalysis and Fecalysis results would expire in just 14 days, so I thought it was too early so I refused to go with them. But I thought it would be better if you were with someone, so the next day after we chatted, I said that I would go with them to undergo for medical examination. For those who don't know why I need to undergo for a laboratory test, it's because I will need it for my studies. College students are required to pass a laboratory test and undergo at medical screening. Because our face to face classes are approaching, that's why we have to do that. But if we're online, there's no need for that. *Ang gastos talaga face to face. Hays.*
And today I woke up very early, maybe around **6:00 am.** Well that's early for me because in the past few months and weeks I always wake up at **9:00 am** (because I'm still on vacation) so this is the day I wake up early again. Because our classmates who undergo medical first said that the line at the Clinics is so long so we need to go there early so that we don't get caught up in the rush of many people.
But despite waking up early, it still took me **8:00 am** before I left the house. The reason why is I took a shower and the water here is so *mahina*, *mas malakas pa ata yung ihi ko hahahaha*. So it took me a while and then of course I ate breakfast to fill my stomach because I knew that I might be there for a long time and I might get hungry.
When I arrived at the Clinic, my friend/classmate was already there and they had finished taking Blood and Urine. And they will go to the X-Ray room. In short, I'm super late. Hahaha it's a good thing that a friend of mine accompanied me where the room for the first test, for blood and urine. But because I had to line up, I told her to leave me there na and I'll just follow them na lang. A few minutes later I was next in line. I have written my name on the paper and paid for the test that will be done on me. And then a blood sample was taken. After that I was given a small cup to put there my urine. And that's when I got into trouble because no urine came out of me when I tried to pee in their Comfort Room (CR). Many have followed me who will use the same CR so I can't stay there for long. After a while I came out and I didn't force myself to pee anymore. I forgot to drink a lot of water before I left the house, so I had trouble urinating.
Maybe I'll just continue telling my story tomorrow. There are many things that happened and I noticed that this one is already long so I'll just end it here. So tomorrow I'll just tell what happen next and why I'm so tired today.
And that's all for today. Thank you for still reading my articles. Happy Weekend to all of you.

Purple Hearts
August 10, 2022. Wednesday.
Yesterday I told you that I have a movie to watch and I haven't told you what it is yet. And today I will reveal what movie I watched yesterday. That is ***"Purple Hearts"***. Yes, my title is the name of the movie I watched. It's not very obvious what movie I watched, is it? Hahahahaha.
*Image source:* **Purple Hearts** https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4614584/
I saw that movie that was popular and talked about on social media platforms that's why I said to myself why don't I try to watch it too so I can keep up with the trend. From the views and opinions I see about that movie, they are all beautiful, so that makes me even more excited. And I expected the movie to be really good because most people say it's a must watch.
Yesterday at noon after I had lunch, I looked for it on the internet. And I haven't had any trouble yet because I saw it right away. I found it on the Bilibili App. That's also where I usually watch movies and various series. But when I found it, I didn't watch it first because I made sure to finish everything I had to do and clean here at home. When I had free time and I was sure that I had nothing to do because I finished them, I just started watching.
I can say that what they said about the movie is exactly correct. It was really good and I was not disappointed watching it. This is one of the best love stories I've ever seen. Actually, I don't really like watching love story or romance movies, but since they say you have to watch it because it's good, I tried anyway. And I didn't regret that I watched it because the movie is good and there are lessons to be left to its viewers.
While watching it, I realized something and that is that **love is so magical**. Sometimes when you least expect it, love comes to you. Sometimes the person you least expect is the one you will fall in love with. And lastly I must say that love is super unexpected. That's all I'll say for now hahahha. If you want to know the story, watch the movie because like I always say, I don't want to be a spoiler. Besides, it's more fun when you can watch it yourself than just hear it from others, right?
Anyway, yesterday I was looking for the full movie of ***"Orphan: First Kill"***. I asked everyone of you if you know where I can watch it and if possible it should only be on a free site or platform hehe. But this morning while I was scrolling through my Facebook account I suddenly saw it in my News Feed and I didn't even think twice to watched it.
*Image source:* **Orphan First Kill** https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11851548/
I can say that I was fine watching it, the only difference is that the quality or resolution of the movie is not good, I won't wonder why because I know that it's just pirated hahaha. There are scenes that are too vague and too dark, so I didn't enjoy watching it that much. But about that in the movie, I think it's okay too. I just expected it to be better because the First Part was good, but I didn't seem to be very satisfied with it. Well that's just for me. The movie is good, but the first part is even better and for me, the second part doesn't make up for that. Just watch it to understand my point, but make sure you've watched the first part before proceeding to watch the second part, Orphan: First Kill.
It's just fun that I was watching a movie from a love story and it suddenly turned into Horror and Thriller. But all in all I enjoyed watching those movies.
And that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed and had fun reading this. Thanks to all of you. Have a nice day.

Just what's on my mind.
August 9, 2022. Tuesday.
I see a lot of articles about Christmas already. It cannot be denied that September or "Ber Months" is near. We Filipinos know that the Christmas Season starts to be celebrated as early as September. Actually it's not just articles here that I see posting about Christmas because there are more on other Social Media Networks especially on Facebook. I have reacted to so many memes about Christmas. I'm sure you also see the memes I'm referring to. Jose Marie Chan is just an example, I see a lot of memes about him. There he is already stretching and just like he is about to appear on our screens or he is peeking. I also saw that he was still tied up because it said there are no Ber Months yet so he can't go out now because it is still August. And so many other memes. And all I know is that people are very excited about the arrival of Christmas. Especially now and the restriction is not that strict anymore in the whole country, which means that we can celebrate Christmas more freely this year.
Anyway I can't really think of a topic right now so I wasn't going to write anymore but I thought that I have a goal and suddenly it popped up in my mind that I need to be productive because my expenses are increasing and they are coming and coming to me so I really need to hustle and grind. It is forbidden to be lazy now with me! So here I am now in front of you and have written an article for today.
This whole day I didn't do much and that's because it's raining here again. I really intended to do laundry again today so that my laundry doesn't pile up anymore but when I woke up it was raining again so I canceled my laundry today. But hopefully tomorrow the sun will show up so I can actually do laundry.
So all I did today was to use my cellphone. Nothing because that's the way it is, I can't do anything else because I can't go out because it's raining, so the only thing I can do is to use my cell phone. But before I use my cellphone, I make sure that I have cleaned the things that I need to clean here at home. It's not just I'm my cellphone all day and its not that I'm in front of my phone all day because I'm still moving my whole body to keep my blood flowing properly! Hahaha.
I was watching a movie just before I started writing this article. I'm only halfway through it. The duration of the movie was over 2 hours, so I stopped watching earlier and charged my phone first. At first I can say that the movie is good but tomorrow I will tell you what movie I am watching, I will finish watching it first. And there is one more movie I want to watch when I finish watching this one. I want to watch Orphan: First Kill but I haven't found a full movie of it yet. Kaya baka naman guys baka may alam kayo kung saan ko pwede mapanood yan, yung free lang sana hahahha.
And that's all for today. I hope you somehow enjoyed reading my article. A cold day to you all.

Sunday: Exercise Day and Little Memories
August 8, 2022. Monday.
Happy Monday to all of you. How was your last week? I hope it went well somehow. Now we are in another week. There are new things and whatever else we are going to face again. But even so, let's welcome it with courage and of course with smiles on our faces.
My exercise schedule was yesterday so I wasn't able to write an article. But I didn't exercise for that long, I was done in less than an hour. I'm just really tired so I'm too lazy to write hahaha. But I was also guilty for what I did because I was just tired and I didn't write while I can still write when I'm not tired anymore. But let's leave it at that, its fine cause I have only been unable to write for one day.
Image source: **Workout** https://propolis.az/product/1136/?w=2.157.6197190.5.24.33.easy+exercise+routine+for+beginners
I just exercised here in our room because it raining here yesterday from morning to night. I was going to go jogging again yesterday, but because it was raining, I didn't continue because I would just get wet. So I just find a place here in a corner of our room and did an exercise there. I only did basic exercises like ***Jogging in Place, Sit-Ups, Push-Ups, Jumping Jacks, Squats and others.*** Every time I finish an exercise I do, I also rest for a minute, I don't continue to exercise for a while, I also take a breath for a few minutes before I continue again. I was done exercising in less than an hour. I was already sweating a lot in the little time I exercised, even though the weather was cold here yesterday, my sweat was still dripping and that's a good thing because that's what I really want. So all in all it means that I accomplished my goal of being able to exercise once or twice a week. I really hope I can continue to do this until the end of the month.
Let's change the topic. Last night I watched **KMJS (Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho)**. For those who don't know it, it is a Philippine News Magazine Show that features various issues of the country and showcasing informative and entertaining topics. And yesterday they feature an elderly man who always eats only rice and salt. I just remembered myself or my family from him before. We also experienced that before and in recent years when there was a pandemic. When we ran out of money, we couldn't buy food because everyone at home lost their jobs because there was a lockdown in our area and everyone was not allowed to go out. We also experienced to eat rice and just paired it with salt. We also eat mango as our viand , also the banana. We also eat rice with just soy sauce and oil. We also do it in fish sauce. We also paired the coffee with rice. And others that can be a viand. Because we really ran out of money at that time. Then we can't borrow money or anything because our neighbors don't have any money anymore because all of us in our baranggay are not allowed to go out.
So I just remembered those while I was watching the old man last night on the show. The life of a poor person is really sad. And I just remembered what the old man said ***"Mahirap maging mahirap"*** *(Its hard to be poor in English)* and I really agree with that. The kind where you're already poor and then you're made to suffer even more because you're poor. I hope you get what I'm saying guys hahaha. Pero tama na ang drama baka maiyak pa ako sa pagkwekwento hahaha.
So what is really needed is that we need to work hard to get out of poverty. Work hard, strive harder and persevere, that's the only way to somehow get out of a difficult life.
***And that's all for today. I hope you enjoy reading this. Have a great week everyone!***

I am a Pluviophile
August 6, 2022. Saturday.
It often rains here in our area. It started a few weeks ago. And why am I mentioning those things? Well the meaning of my title is related to that.
Based on what I've searched for meaning of Pluviophile , this is the one that came up.
***Based on Wiktionary*** :
One who loves rain; one who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.
Image source: **Pinterest** (TheMindsJournal) https://www.pinterest.com/pin/588423507561053149/
Well I realized that I am a Pluviophile person. Just like the last few days when it was raining, I felt that my mind was calmer. Every time it rains, I find peace of mind and joy. That's why I like it when it rains because I know my mind will be calmed down again.
I know we have different preferences. I Know that others there do not like the rain. Especially the people who live in low-lying areas. Actually we also belong there, because we also live in a low area and we are close to the river. People do not want the rain to be in such a place because they know that once it rains, there is a chance that their place will flood, especially if the rain does not stop. Sometimes I also worry when it's raining, but I'm still much calmer than being worried.
Image source: **Tumblr** https://pluviobrew.tumblr.com/post/177394291751
I also know that the people who live on the road don't like the rain (especially the beggars) because once it rains, they will lose a place to sleep or a shelter. The road has really become their home, so it cannot be denied that they don't like it when it rains because they will be in trouble and it will be difficult for them to find shelter immediately.
I also know that rain is not a good thing for animals. Those animals that just wander on the road and have no homes. Their condition is also pitiful when it rains. They will get wet because they have no shelter, because the road itself is their only shelter.
I also know that there are people who really hate the rain. When it rains, fever, cough and cold start again. A lot of people get this disease whenever the rainy season starts. That's why others don't like the rainy season because it's hard to get sick.
Image source: **Tumblr** https://weheartit.com/entry/326216800
I also know that workers don't like rain. Because they will have difficulty traveling to their jobs. Usually when it rains, they lose their jobs because their bosses cancel their works and that means they will lose their wages for that day. And it's really hard to work when it's raining, especially to those people who work outside and not inside like in offices.
I can understand why they don't like rain and if I were to be put in their position, I wouldn't like rainy days either.
Image source: **Tumblr** https://unbotheredmuse.tumblr.com/post/661619771300806656
But even so, even though there are many reasons for me to hate the rain, I can't do it. I still feel different every time it starts raining. I feel that when it rains it's time for me to rest. The kind of rain that is just calm and seems to wash away our heavy feelings. I feel that it's time for me to rest my body as well as my mind.
But the typhoon/storm is different from the rain, guys. I don't want a storm. But if it's just rain that doesn't include thunder, lightning, strong wind and the downpour is not strong, that's all I'm talking about. We all don't want a typhoon because we know that once there is a typhoon we will all be affected, we will all be in trouble. So it's not a typhoon I'm referring to that I want, it's just rain guys hahaha it's just rain.
***Anyway how about you, do you like it when it rains or do you hate rain? Comment down below.***
And that's all for today. I hope you had fun and enjoy reading this article of mine. Happy Saturday guys!

I went Jogging and this is what happen.
August 4, 2022. Thursday.
I started my day with a jogging. I really planned to go jogging today because there was something I didn't do yesterday that was scheduled, and thatis to exercise. My exercise schedule was actually yesterday and it was actually set but because yesterday is the day I do the laundry and I did a lot of laundry because it accumulated because it has been raining for us in the past few weeks so I haven't been able to do laundry. So I was so tired because from morning until noon I did laundry and in the afternoon I hung up so I just postponed my scheduled to exercise. Well, if you're wondering why I need to exercise, it's because that's one of my goals for this month of August.
That's why I said yesterday that today I really need to exercise so that I can still achieve my goal. And this morning I went jogging. I probably left our house around **8:00 am**, because I didn't wake up very early because I slept late last night. But it's okay because some people are still jogging at that time. I intended to just jog here in our subdivision and I just went out a little bit from the subdivision. But suddenly the idea came to my mind that if I could just jog, I would make the most of it. That's why I went out of the subdivision where we live and went a little further.
While I was jogging, I saw a Drug Store and suddenly it occurred to me that my Vitamins were running out, so I thought of buying them. Luckily I had my wallet with me but I didn't have any cash but fortunately there is an ATM machine nearby that I can withdraw money from. So that's what I did before I went to the drug store and bought my Vitamins.
This is all I bought. **Poten Cee Sugar Coated.** That's the vitamin C I've been taking since before, even before the pandemic, I've been taking Vitamin C. I also bought **Pharex B-complex**. I've been taking that since before the pandemic too. I take Vitamin B-complex in the morning, after I eat breakfast, because that's what my Doctor who prescribed it told me. I take Vitamin C at noon, after I eat lunch. I also bought **Cebo De Macho** or better known as scar removal. Well I'm using it because I'm getting rid of scars on my leg. Because I quickly get the type of wound that even if I just scratch my skin, it gets injured that's why I always have a scar. So I need it to remove my scars.
And then after I shopped for my medicines and vitamins, I walked around and jogged until I found a grocery store. Since I already have money in hand because I made a withdrawal, I thought about buying some other things that I need. I bought my **Soap**, I bought my **Hair Conditioner** (I didn't buy shampoo because I haven't used it in a long time), I also bought a few pieces of **Detergent powder** because I consumed all of our detergent powder yesterday when I did laundry, I bought a **Napkin** too but don't mind it hahahha, I also bought some **Crackers and Biscuits** so that I have something to eat when I'm at home and just watching TV, I also bought a **Coffee** (just a few sachets), I also bought a canned goods (the **Sardines**) because I plan to eat after jogging and when got home. I only had enough money so that's all I bought. I don't even plan to buy things or grocery shopping. For everything I bought, I spent less than ***600 pesos (about $12)***. I didn't think that with the little I bought, that's how much I spent right away.
I couldn't take pictures while I was jogging because I didn't bring my phone so I couldn't take pictures of the places I went to. I took pictures of the things I bought when I was at home.
I just realized that doing a jogging is costly hahaha. Just a joke. Next time when I go jogging, I won't go far and will just turn around here in our area so that I don't spend any more money. But it's okay because the things I bought are things I need and things I can use, so I'm not just spending money for nothing becuase it is a useful. And lastly, I enjoyed my jogging, which eventually turned into a walk because I was tired and I was already carrying things, the ones I bought. But the most important thing is that I was able to jog or exercise somehow.
And that's all for today. I hope you enjoy reading this article of mine. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Is it really hard to change what we are used to?
August 3, 2022. Wednesday.
Do you also believe that it is difficult to change what we are used to? Well I want to know your answers in the comment section below. But now I will discuss my question first.
I got the question from the Thai Series I was watching that I was talking about the past few days.
Because the main character of the story named ***Paeng*** is a rebellious kid, well she's not that young because he's already a young woman. But she didn't become a rebel without a big reason. She was orphaned at a young age. Since the loss of her parents, that's when she became that kind of person. Her father entrusted her to his good friend. Paeng lived there in the house of her father's friend. She calls her father's friend Uncle because she is no different from them because she knew him when she was young.
Ever since Paeng settled in her Uncle's house, the lives of the people there became chaotic. Well, because she is a rebel, she does many things that are not good in that place. Most of the people there were affected by what she was doing. They live on the farm because it is owned by her uncle and it is also her uncle's business. Even the workers at the Farm where they live sometimes sympathize with the silly things she does. Even in the school she attends, she is always involved in trouble, that's why her guardian (Uncle) is always called by the guidance officer of school she's attending. That's why it cannot be denied that almost everyone dislikes her because of her attitude. Even her Uncle's wife doesn't like her because she even answered and fight her Auntie.
But there was an event that changed Paeng's life. That was when her Uncle's son had an accident and she was partly to blame for the accident. Everyone at the Farm blames her for that incident and that is the reason why his Uncle decided to kick her out of the Farm first. Her Uncle promised her that she will not be neglected even if she moved and her uncle also said that he did that so that people in the Farm would not always blame her.
A few years passed and the lives of the people at the Farm became smooth and quiet without Paeng and so did Paeng. Paeng lived well even though she was alone in the Condo she lived in and she also finished her studies. The course she completed was about Agriculture.
But one day her Uncle said that she had to go back to the Farm. Paeng wouldn't want it because she knows that almost everyone there doesn't like her and won't want to see her anymore but her return to the Farm is for work. She finished a course about Agriculture and she can use it to work on her Uncle's Farm. Her Uncle also said that hee return to the Farm is also a chance for her to apologize to the people she did something bad and also to show that she has changed. Her Uncle saw that she had really changed a lot, she was no longer the famous Paeng who was so bad before because now she has become good.
But Paeng condition became difficult when she returned to the Farm where she lived before. Because people there have not changed their view of her, they still recognize her as the rebel Paeng. Almost everyone there didn't want to believe that she had changed and that she was no longer the same as before. No matter how much she showed the good side of her, her good attitude and no matter how many times she apologized to the people who were there, they didn't listen to her and they didn't believe her. Sometimes she really wants to give up and just go back to her Condo but her Uncle always reminds her not to give up and just keep showing them that she is a good person now and that her intentions are good why she came back.
But what his Auntie said really stuck in my mind.
***"I don't believe you've changed, you can't blame me because it's hard to change what you're used to doing"***
Because they got used to Paeng doing only bad things back then. That's why it can't be taken away from them to think that Paeng is still like that because that's what he's been doing all along.
Maybe that's all I'll tell you about the story.
But let's go back to my question earlier. And my answer for that question, well for me maybe it's hard to change the things we're used to, the activities and things we're used to doing, especially if that's what we've been doing all the time. But it's a different story about people. I think that a person can change and that is not impossible to happen. Other people just think that it is too vague to change a person's behavior but for me that is not true. If people force themselves to change their behavior for the better, they can do it and it is not impossible.
So that's my answer. That's based on my opinion only. We have different perspectives and beliefs, that's why I know that others have different answers about this question. So I just want to know your insight about this topic of mine.
And that's all for now. I hope you enjoy and had fun while reading this article of mine. Thank you so much and have a nice day!

Enjoying the remaining Weeks of my vacation.
August 2, 2022. Tuesday.
Just yesterday it was raining here all day and today the sun has come out. Sometimes I really don't understand the **weather**, well sometimes I'm the same with myself, I don't understand what I want hahaha. I haven't been able to do laundry for a few days because it rained here the day before and I was planning to do laundry today because the weather is hot and good but I was surprised when I went there where we hang our clothes because there are so many clothes hanging there already. It turns out that my neighbor's who is my uncle and aunt also were the first to do the laundry. They have already taken me to the clothesline and there is no space for my clothes to hang. And because of that I decided not to do laundry hahahah. My **laundry day** must have been on Saturday but because it was raining so I couldn't do it. Well, maybe I'll just do laundry tomorrow, I really hope the sunshine will continue.
By the way, a little update on the **Thai Series** I'm watching with the title ***"My Forever Sunshine"*** I'm on episode 13 now, only 6 episodes to go and I'll finish it. I enjoyed watching it because there are many funny scenes here and it's not just romance. Watching that series is the only thing that occupies me right now. I never watched other movies or other series. I'll focus on that first so I can finish it right away. Well, I only have a few days left to watch what I want to watch. Because the **Medical Screening** of incoming Fourth Year college students in our University is scheduled in **August 22 to August 30** only. Then they can only accomodate 100 slots per day, so that means you really have to go first because if you don't do that, you have no choice but to get a Physical Examination or Medical Screening done by somewhere else, with a fee. That's why if you don't want to run out of slots, you need to get in line at the University early. That's the system in our University, guys. Just because it's free, you really have to work hard for things. Maybe there are 1,000+ incoming 4th year students at our University, well that's how many of us there are because many people want to study at the University because it's free here. And that means that they will accommodate only 700 students because the 4th year students are only scheduled for 7 days. So in short, those who cannot be accommodated will actually take the physical examination outside the University. It's really hard to study, isn't it, guys?
And about my goal for **exercising**, I decided to schedule it on Wednesday and Sunday. Yes, I only plan to exercise twice a week. I have already scheduled it so that I am sure that I can do it because even I doubt myself if I can do it hahah. Sometimes my brain and body don't cooperate with each other. My brain really wants to exercise because I know that I really need it, but my body is the problem. Sometimes my body doesn't want to exercise and the little exercise I do, I'm really tired and lazy hahaha. But that's not possible now, they both have to cooperate when I need to have my exercise.
I'll be busy again in just a few days. That's why I'm still writing an article even though my brain is a bit messed up hahaha. I also have a goal to publish **20 articles** this month and I want to achieve that, so if I'm busy in the last week of August for sure I won't be able to write articles that often, so I'm making the most of the days that I don't have much to do right now.
Note:
Actually, I don't really have a specific topic right now, so whatever I can think of, that's what I wrote here hahaha. So I'm sorry if this article is a bit messy.
So that's it for now. I'll see you again tomorrow. And thank you very much for tirelessly reading my articles. Have a great day!

July Summary + Goals for August
August 1, 2022. Monday.
I almost made a mistake typing the date today. I thought it was July but it's August na pala. Time flies so fast. We don't even realize that this year is almost over. And next month is the ***"Ber Months"*** again. We will hear Christmas songs, jingles and carols in the streets again.
Anyway, the month of **July** is over just like that. It was like a blink of an eye and then July was gone. Well, every time the month ends, we check what happened to us or if there are goals that have been set, we look at or check if they have been achieved. In my case I don't have goals to check because I didn't make goals for July. That's why I didn't write my article yesterday about what happened to me during the whole month of July. But since it has been discussed now, I will also summarize it.
I know I wasn't that productive this past month. The first week of July I was busy with my Final Exams and the second week I was busy completing the requirements that I had to pass. Those times I know that I'm not really that productive and I'm not able to interact with others very much. It was only in the third week that I became a bit relaxed or I wasn't so busy anymore. That's also the time when my vacation has already started. But even though I'm on vacation, I still haven't been able to write and publish an article every day because I chose to rest and enjoy my vacation first. But I still don't forget to write, publish and visit here every day. I still read, comment, and relay every day. It's just that I wasn't able to publish an article every day because I set a screen time usage.
But even though I wasn't that productive last month, I'm still happy because I made ***18 articles***. Imagine even though I was busy during the first 2 weeks of July, I still had such an article done.
As for ***Noise Cash***, I'm not really that active on that platform, but I still haven't stopped posting there. When I have time, I post there, read other people's posts and then I also comment. I never forget Noise Cash so even when I'm busy I still visit there. And even though it's not the same as before where I still earn a lot there, I still continue even if I only earn there seldom now.
And this **August** I think it's time to set goals again. I feel that one of the factors why I am not being productive is that I do not set goals. Because what I have in mind when I don't have goals is that I don't have anything to reach for or chase, so I only do the things I want to do. And I feel that is not a good thing. I'm not motivated and I'm not inspired by doing that. So it's time to be motivated, inspired and productive again.
I'm not going to set many goals for this month. It's hard when you have many goals and then you don't achieve them all. So this August, these are just my goals.
**To write and publish 20 articles or more.**
This has always been my constant goal. I only got stop for 3 months in setting these goals. I stopped setting goals last 2 or 3 months because these are the times when I'm really busy with my studies and I don't think I'll be able to achieve the goals I'm going to set, so I just put off the matter of setting them. Maybe this time when I'm not so busy and I'm on vacation, I'll be able to accomplish this goal of mine. Twenty articles is a bit much for me, but I hope I can still do that.
Exercise once or twice a week.
In the past few weeks something has always been pain in my body. That's why I think this is the time that I should take exercise seriously. After all, it's my vacation and I have time to do that, just once or twice a week, it's not that heavy and it doesn't take up a lot of time. And I will only do basic exercise such as jogging in place, jumping jacks, sit ups, push ups and others. I really need to take care of my body from now on and I feel that it's not good for me to just lie on my bed and use my cell phone all the time.
And that's all my goals this month. There are only two so maybe I can do it both.
And lastly, I really don't want to expect too much from this month. Last month, I thought that the month of July would be good for me, but that's not what happened, so I shouldn't expect too many things this month so that I don't get hurt hahaha.
That's all for today. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this article of mine. Happy August everyone!

I tried to watch a Thai Series
July 30, 2022. Saturday.
Second to the last day of July. Yes, July is coming to an end. But wait, why does it seem like you're so fast, **July**? It means that my happy days are also counted, I mean, my vacation days. The speed is terrible as if I haven't made the most of resting and enjoying it and then going to study again. But it doesn't matter, I will make the most of all my remaining days and enjoy them.
One of the things I can't do when I go back to school is ***watching movies, videos, vlogs and series on the internet*****.** Of course, instead of watching those in my vacant time I will just dedicate my free time to relaxing after class. So everything I want to watch I will probably watch in the next few days. Well maybe not all of them because there are so many, so many things I want to watch. So I'll just choose.
And one of the ones I want to finish and I'm currently watching is **"My Forever Sunshine".** This is the first time I got really interested in a Thai Series. But I have been able to watch different Thai Dramas or Series before but this one caught my attention. It used to be that I couldn't really finish a Thai drama or I guess I couldn't follow watching it well enough. And this one I really watch as I don't want to miss an episode.
***"My Forever Sunshine"*** is also aired on GMA Network every afternoon, 5:00 pm from Mondays to Fridays. But I don't watch it on TV because I watch it on my phone. The first time I actually watched it was on TV and I was fascinated by its story, so I looked for this series online because when you watch it on TV, sometimes they cut some scenes, so it's a bit irritating. Besides, it will take a few months before it's finished, so it's a long time compared to when you watch it online, you won't get hung up on it and you can finish it in just a few days.
“My Forever Sunshine” has **19 episodes**. Each episode lasts over an hour *(approximately one hour and 30 minutes).* And now I'm on **Episode 9** so only 10 more episodes to go and then I'll finish it. But because I have a screen time limit that I follow, I won't be able to finish it immediately this week or this Sunday. I only have 5 hours of screen time per day so I can only watch a maximum of 2 episodes per day. Because every episode has 1 hour and 30 minutes so the 2 episodes are already 3 hours and it means I only have 2 hours left. I dedicate those two hours to writing articles or if I can't write, I spend them reading articles, interacting with other users here or sometimes on Noise Cash.
Okay, let's get back to my main topic. So far I can say that this Thai Series that I'm watching is good and meaningful because I wouldn't really like it if it wasn't good and meaningful. There are also life lessons and learnings from this Series. And I can't totally say how good the story is because I haven't finished watching it yet. I just really want to share with you in this article that I tried to watch some Thai Series hehehe. This is the first time I really made an effort to watch a Thai series because I usually watch KDrama or Korean series online.
***How about you guys, have you tried watching Thai Dramas or Series? And what can you say about what you watched?***
And that's all for today. I hope you have fun while reading this article of mine. Thank you very much and have a great day!

I feel that expenses are approaching to me!
July 28, 2022. Thursday.
I started this day not feeling well. Because my stomach hurts so much and that's what woke me up earlier. When I got up, I was still really dizzy and a little weak because my stomach hurt so much because of period, but I really needed to get up to fix myself. When I was eating, I felt like I was going to vomit, but of course I was holding back because my breakfast was just bread and coffee, so if I am going to do that my stomach became even more empty and I am going to be even more weak. I'm not like this before, I don't experience a lot of stomach pain. In the last few months I started to feel like this, that I would experience severe pain every time I had my period. Well, this is probably the result of being stubborn when I was young and being told what not to do every time a girl have menstruation but not obeying those.
https://youtu.be/mktZP5_bhOQ
And to relieve a little of the pain I was feeling earlier, after I ate I lay down again, because I couldn't handle the pain it cause to me. While I was lying down I was listening to music. I only listen to one piece of music and I play it over and over again on my phone while wearing my ear phones. And that is ***Mahika*** ***by*** ***Adie and Janine***. I fell in love with that song as the time as I heard it and since then I've always listened to it. I've been listening to it just now, today, yesterday, the other day and last week hahaha. And I will also put the music I'm talking about here so you can listen to it while you're reading this.
And before the afternoon came, I read a post on FB that made me a little depressed. I posted that on Noise Cash so I think others already know what it is. And that is the post of our University. It says in that post that we had to get Laboratory Test and schedule a Physical Examination for Medical Screening. Actually, that's not new because when it was face to face, that was actually being done, but with this pandemic, of course, the medical requirement of college students has being stopped because they will be only studying at their homes. But I managed to get laboratory test twice when we were still face to face, because it is required to get laboratory test every semester.
Because of that, I feel that our Face to Face classes will going to happen this time. And just now I can feel that my expenses are going to get worse.
Before I went for a Laboratory Test, I only spent less than ***1,000 pesos (about $20)*** , to be specific it was only ***700+ pesos (about $14)*** , but now I don't know how much the Laboratory Test cost. Take note, my classmates and I really looked for a medical clinic that charges the cheapest so we can save money. But now I don't know if there is such a cheap thing. In that 700 pesos includes all necessary tests including X-ray.
So this is the beginning that I will spend a lot again. And these expenses will be consecutive for sure, I always have something to pay or spend. Sometimes I think that I wish I could just take an online class because the amount of money I save is really big, but I know that the time will come when we will need to go back to face to face classes.
After we schedule the Physical Examination and the next thing we will take care of is Enrollment. Our enrollment is also face to face based on the post. Huhuhu that would be a long time waiting in line, it's boring line and tiring line everywhere. So I might be busy again in the next few weeks. I think I still have 2 weeks to rest from now. When I thought we had a really long vacation but I made a mistake because there were so many thing that needed to be taken care of.
And that's all for today. Thanks for reading this article of mine. Happy Thursday.

My Clothing Style.
July 27, 2022. Wednesday.
I have shared with you many times what kind of clothes I like. Often when I do online shopping, my clothing style is mentioned. Lately, I've only been shopping for my clothes in online shops, besides saving money, I don't even have to leave the house to go to physical stores. The clothes sold in online and physical stores are almost the same, sometimes the price is even cheaper online. And another one, I get to mention the way I dress whenever I answer random questions form the random generator. When there are questions about the clothes I want, I also tell you what types of clothes I like. That's why you probably already have an idea about the style I like and the way I dress, but I'm still going to share that with you now even though you already know.
Clothes at home
When I'm at home, my usual clothes are **T-shirts and Shorts**. Sometimes ***oversized shirts***, sometimes just simple shirts (not that loose and not that tight) and then I just pair it with shorts. Guys, I don't wear short shorts. I usually wear ***sweat shorts***, sometimes boyfriend shorts, as long as the shorts that are a bit long but still above the knee, they are only for home use so there is no need for them to be extra long. I don't wear sexy shorts because I don't feel comfortable with those kinds of clothes.
Sometimes when it's cold I wear ***jogging pants or track pants*** but still partnered with t-shirts. And that's also what I usually wear when I go out of the house, I'm not used to just wearing shorts when I go out because I don't want my skin to be visible too much and also so that I don't get too much exposed in the sun right away and don't get dark hahaha. It's a waste of time to use whitening soap if I'm just going to expose myself to the sun, isn't it? Hahaha. But when I wear track pants, I also try to wear fitted clothes like crop top shirts. It's also a good thing to pair it with other track pants, especially those with track pants with style.
Outside Clothes
And when I go for a walk, like going out with friends or going out with family, I often wear only **T-shirts and Pants** and pair them with **Rubber Shoes**. That's the only clothes I have wear. Sometimes when it's cold, my pants are partnered with ***longsleeves or hoodies***. But I forgot to say that the pants I like are the loose, baggy jeans specifically. I have said that before in my past articles. I used to like and wear fitted and skinny pants, but I really prefer looser ones now. Apart from the fact that it's the type of pants that are in fashion and trend now, I'm also more comfortable when I wear them, I can move well. The shoes I like are Korean shoes, the ones that look like heavy shoes but the ones looks cool. Sometimes I'm fine with shoes like vans, and my favorite is the vans old school. But most of the time I just only wear white shoes because they match any color of clothes I wear. And lastly, I only bring a sling bag to store my things or belongings, like my phone.
Note:
I don't wear ***Dresses and Skirts***. It just depends on whether it is really required by the event I attend. Just like before at our acquaintance party, the girls really had to be dressed or as long as it was possible the girls would wear gowns but since the rent of the gown was expensive, I just wear dress. I don't like wearing ***sandals*** either, but it's also debatable if I really need to wear them where I'm going. But at our acquaintance party, I partner in the dress was also a shoes hahaha, I just now realized why I did that? Almost everyone was wearing fancy sandals back then. There are sandals here at home because my sister also wears sandals but I still chose to wear shoes with my dress hahahaha. I feel like they looked at me like a fool. But the dress I was wearing then can be paired with shoes and it can also be paired with a sandals. But that's in the past so I shouldn't look back and worry about it hahaha. I, myself, just get annoyed with myself when that thought comes back to me! So I should forget about it.
And that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Thank you so much and have a great day!

Monday, A Random Day.
July 25, 2022. Monday.
Hello its Monday again, another day to start the week. So lets celebrate and cheers for another week in our life!
Nothing even sensible topic entered my mind. I don't know why. I just took a vacation from studying, it's like my brain is on vacation too hahaha. Does not want to work and function properly. I can't think of a topic to write about today. So here I am again, here I am again with my Random Questions Topic. Maybe I should put a good title when I answer Random Questions next time. Can it be "Random Sessions", what do you guys think? Hahahaha just kidding don't take it seriously. Anyway, I won't take any longer. Let's start.
Do you agree that good grammar is not important as long as people can understand you?
Grammar is still important to me. That's just for me, that's just my opinion . I still respect the opinion of other people who will answer this. I also understand that there are some people who have a hard time when it comes to grammar. And I feel that sometimes I am one of those. But for me, correct grammar is still important, especially if there are perfectionist people around you who always focus on the mistakes you can make, hahahaha *hugot yarn*? But there are people like that, once they see that you have wrong spelling or wrong grammar, they will immediately judge you, so if you don't want that to happen to you, you will always check and fix your spelling and grammar so they don't criticize you. And that's one of the reasons why I said that grammar is still really important.
Will people still carry cash in 20 years?
Maybe there are only a few people in the world. I feel that 20 years from now people will just only use cards. But of course, how can they put money on their cards if no one is making money/cash, right? So I think there are probably still a few people who will use cash at that time. The world is so high tech nowadays that is why is not really unlikely that in 20 years from now most people in the world will no longer hold and carry cash.
If you had more free time, how would you spend it?
I used to say that when I had a lot of time, I would do everything I wanted, but now that I'm on vacation, I don't have much to do. I'm always here at home, lying down, using my cell phone, cleaning, doing laundry, and other household chores. But that's fine with me because I think I really need some rest so I have a lot of energy for our upcoming school year. I'm in the fourth year of college so I really need a lot of energy, a lot of understanding, I need a lot of pain reliever and I need a lot of money hahahaha, because the fourth year is very expensive. But anyway, maybe I'll do the things I want to do when I'm done with school/graduated, I have a job and I'm earning enough money for me and my family. Maybe I have a lot of time during those times and I can really do the things that I always wanted to do.
Do you think a large age difference is unimportant in a relationship?
Honestly, there is a part of me that doesn't believe in those *"Age doesn't matter"* quote, but I can see that the some people who have a big age gap is also successful in their relationship despite the big difference in their ages. So we can't really say that age is the basis for love. Because it's really up to the person, how he/she thinks, how he/she acts and how he/she handles the relationship. There are others there who are old but they still don't seem to understand the true meaning of love and there are also young one's there but it has been proven to everyone that they understand and know the true meaning of love. So maybe it's not really about that age, it's up to the person!
If you could play any sport professionally, which sport would you choose?
Volleyball. Lately I've been fond of watching the volleyball game. And I also want to be like them, to be a good volleyball player and professional. And I found volleyball a cool game so I became interested in it too. Anyway, if you ask me, Belen is my favorite volleyball player right now, and Nierva is the coolest Libero for me. By the way, they are local volleyball players in our country. But that's my answer, I will choose Volleyball.
That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed reading this and thank you so much for taking the time to check this out.

What's going on in my day to day life now that I'm on vacation?
July 23, 2022. Saturday.
What am I doing in my daily life now that I'm on vacation from classes? Well I almost just lie down all day but not definitely as in just lie down all day. Maybe it's only about *12-15 hours*, I know that's a long time but I also get up by lying in bed time by time and the *8-10 hours* are when I sleep at night. Because I said that on my vacation I will just rest so that's what I literally do. But I still want to be productive because we can't just rest, we also need to earn money, so here I am still writing and publishing articles here.
So how do I **start my day** this vacation? It's still the same as before. I'm really used to it that when I wake up, I'll clean my bed, fold my blanket, arrange my pillows and then take a shower and **eat breakfast.** That's what I'm still doing until now, the only difference is that I don't wake up so early anymore. If I used to wake up at *6:00 am or 7:00 am* before, now I wake up at *8:30 am or 9:00 am* hahaha. It's fine to wake up a little late cause I deserve to sleep well now because I used to always lack sleep back then. Right now I'm able to complete 8 hours of sleep and sometimes even more than that because sometimes it reaches 9 hours but that's it and I don't get 10 hours of sleep.
After I eat breakfast, I will check first if there is anything I need **to do here at home,** like if there is anything I need to clean again, if there is a pile of laundry, if our things here at home are dirty and dusty. So when I noticed something that I needed to do, I would do it and I didn't need to be instructed. After I clean or do laundry or whatever it is, the next thing I do is **go to market**. Yes, I also the one who do market and I do that every day now. There is a *"Talipapa"* or small market close to us and I buy there for what we need. I know some of you are already familiar with "Talipapa" right? So you know what I'm talking about. What I buy from talipapa here is the ingredients for our dish or cooked dish itself if we are too lazy to cook hahaha. Besides, I've been buying the other things we need every day here in talipapa and I've only gone to town seldom now because there is already a close market here in our home.
After I go buying everything, **I will cook**, but if I have already bought a cooked dish, I will only cook rice. And when everything is cooked, we **will eat**.
When I finish eating and rest for about 1 hour, maybe I will **start writing an article**. I'm taking advantage while I'm resting and sitting down to write an article here on my cellphone. It takes me *2-3 hours* to write an article and sometimes it takes even longer, especially if I have a hard time thinking of what to write or I have a hard time finding a suitable/possible topic. And when I'm done writing, I'll rest my eyes first. It depends on me what time I will publish the article I wrote, that's why if you notice it is not the same or it is in different time when I publish articles.
And since I do limit my screen time, I only use my cell phone rarely now. When I'm really bored, its the time I'll just **watch videos** on YouTube or check my Facebook or visit Noise Cash. And when someone recommends me a movie, I watch it or when I see a trending movie online. But I'll make sure that my screen time does not exceed 5 hours. If there are many movies lined up for me to watch, I'm not going to watch them all at the same time in one day. I will schedule watching those. And until possible, only 1 movie a day. If it's not afternoon, I watch a movie before going to bed.
At night, I'm not the one who cooks anymore because someone else cooks our dinner or they just bring cooked food for dinner so that we don't have to struggle to cook at night.
And that's all that happens in my daily life now that I'm on vacation. I will be like this for just over a month because when the last week of August arrives, I will be busy again, especially when the month of September enters. So I'm going to make the most of my vacation chilling and relaxing my mind and my body.
That's all for today. Thank you for taking the time to read this article of mine. Have a great day!

Let's talk about Witches.
July 22, 2022. Friday.
Every time we talk about **Witches** when we're young what we think of is that Witches have thick, long and porous hair, long nails, long faces, dressed in black, dirty and black teeth, they have a big pot or *kawa* and there is always something mixed in there, they are wearing long and pointed hats and they have needles and collection of dolls. That's the image of Witches that we think of when we're young, but of course now that we're grown up, we have different beliefs about Witches.
Actually, since I watched **Harry Potter**, my view about Witches has changed. Wizards and Witches are the main character of that movie/series. And the truth is that they have become my favorite (the witches), and the reason for that is the Brightest Witch of her age, ***Hermione Jean Granger.***
I think I was 10 years old when I started watching the witches in Harry Potter and that's when my view of them started to change. The ugly image of witches that I had in my mind when I was young is gone. Actually I admire the wit and skill of witches. And besides, the matter of witches looking ugly has also disappeared from my mind because of watching Harry Potter, because in that movie their looks are even better, unlike the description of witches before.
And the other day and yesterday I watched a Series/Movies about Witches again. Ate @JRamona20 recommended it to me. Its title is **The Witch** and it has two parts. The title of Part 1 is ***The Witch: The Subversion*** and the second is ***The Witch: The Other One***. Each movie is more than two hours long, so if you are going to watch it, you should allocate at least 5 hours. I just watched them again on Facebook, of course like I said before I don't have a Netflix account and I'm also saving data and load so I just watch them on my FB. And besides, why would I reject it, it's already available for free on FB, why would I look for it on another site, right? Hahahaha.
****Image source****: **The Witch: Subversion** https://horrorcultfilms.co.uk/2019/04/the-witch-part-1-the-subversion-2018-on-digital-hd-now/
****Image source:**** **The Witch: The Other One**
Anyway, how is this movie? Well I can say that it is a good one and the characters in the story are impressive. Actually, I saw this movie on my Facebook Related Videos a long time ago, maybe a year ago, but there was no title on it, so I didn't immediately search for it and watch it. You know that, those are the ones that appear on our FB whenever we watch videos, the suggested videos, that's where I saw it but I only saw the fighting scene.
I can say that part 1 was really good and I understood the story well, so thanks for the subtitles hahahha. In part 2, I will admit that I didn't really get it or understand it and the reason for that was that the subtitle didn't match what the character was saying. I know that what is written in the subtitle is correct, but the problem is that it is shown first. I mean the character hasn't said that line yet and the subtitle is in short showing in advance hahahha. So my brain was a bit confused when I am trying to understood the subtitles in part 2 but all in all part 2 was also good and it also had a lot of actions like in Part 1.
And like in the past, I won't narrate or detail the story because I don't want to be labeled a spoiler hahaha. But I know that some of you have already seen it and I'm late to see it because this movie was released I think a few years ago. But what I can say, the movie is good and so cool.
Now what I plan to watch next is ***"Incantation"***. Actually, I started watching it last night, but the intro of the story got me a little sense of weird and got me terrified me at the same time. This movie is also trending on FB and I'm one of those who don't want to fall behind the trend so I want to watch it too. But I won't watch it at night because the movie seems a bit scary. I will watch it in the morning so that I feel less scared hahahaha.
That's all for today. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Happy weekend guys!

Two Zero Three Seven
July 20, 2022. Wednesday.
Are you wondering what kind of title this article has? Well, that's how you really accept it hahahha. I didn't just invent my title because it's actually the title of a Korean Movie I watched last night. I just don't really know how the title of the movie will be read properly, if it's ***Two thousand thirty seven*** or ***Twenty thirty seven.*** So that's what I did, I just split the numbers apart. But for those who have already watched that movie, the ones I'm talking about, can be commented below on how the title reads correctly hehehhe.
**2037** is an inmate’s number. Yes the main character in the movie is a prisoner. Based on what I saw, it said that what their inamate number was, that was their name and code inside the jail.
But who is inmate 2037?
She was a student who have killed a person because she was raped. She actually a part-time student, preparing to graduate and waiting to take exam. She is working to earn money for her and for her mother.
Yoon young's mother *(inmate 2037's real name)* I'm not sure if it's a deaf but based on the story, every time she talk to her daughter Yoon young, they use sign language to understand each other. But there is also a time when Yoon young teaches her mother words and she teaches her to form a conversation, and her mother can speak but not like normal speech.
The mother and daughter are living well. Yoon young earns money from her work so they have something to spend foe everyday. Her mother is a seamstress and even though she has a disability, she also earns money. Until the unexpected happens. Yoon young experienced rape. Sometime she spends the night at work, so she hangs herself on the road at night and goes home at night. Yoon young is a beautiful girl so there is no denying that she is really attractive. But I won't go into more detail about what happened next in the story. She had just experienced rape and she was so angry with the person who did it to her so that she killed it.
And what happened next was the most painful for the mother and daughter. Yoon young was jailed for the murder she committed. Her act did not considered as self-defense because she killed the very person who did it to her, so she was actually charged with murder and sentenced to 5 years in prison.
But while she was incarcerated, she faced had an unexpected thing because the raped happened to her had a produce a baby. While she was in jail, she got pregnant. And that's where the story revolves.
I still want to tell the story of what happened in the movie but I know it will be too long so I won't go into detail.
You know this movie is good. It's really worth watching and you won't regret taking the time to watch it.
**You also have many life lessons to learn from watching the 2037 movie.**
And here are the lesson I learn from watching it. ***First***, don't trust even the person you've known for a long time because sometimes they are the one wh can harm to you. ***Second***, children should love their parents and likewise parents should love their children deeply. Parents should always checkwhat is happening to their children, because sometimes their child just say that they are fine but sometimes it's the opposite. So parents really need to give their children enough attention. ***Third***, don't judge every person you meet right away, we all have battles to go through and you didn't know what they are going through. And ***Fourth*** nothing can equal the Mother-Daughters Love, this is the best love of all time.
I recommend this movie to all of you. I assure you that this is really beautiful. I as I watched this movie, it shed my tears as in true I was really crying. I don’t know if I’m just an emotional person or the movie is really too tearful.
I only watched it on Facebook hahhaha but I know it's also available on Netflix. But since I don't have a Netflix account, I just rely on FB to watch and also because there is one on Fb, why don't I grab the chance to watch right? Besides, I can only use a little data from just watching it on FB so I can still save on load heehhe.
I'm sorry if I didn't tell the whole story because I want you to watch it yourself so that you can understand it better, so that you can feel the story better, so that you can cry like me hahahha.
That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Happy Wednesday to all of you.

Laptop Cutie
July 19, 2022. Tuesday.
Do you believe in the **Law of Attraction**? Well I somtimes believe and sometimes no. I haven't experienced it yet but I don't take it away from myself that I believe in the ***"Law of Attraction".***
***And why did the Law of Attraction comes to my mind?*** I have something I want to get. ***What is that thing?*** That thing I can use in my studies and not only that because I can also use it in other things I do. You know that maybe what's the thing that I want go get I'm referring to, because it's already written in the title. Haha.
Yes, I want to have my own **Laptop**. ***Why would I want to have it?*** Well I am an upcoming 4th year college student and my course has OJT and Demo Teaching. My course is **Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education Major in Food and Service Management.** I have two choices once I finish that course, I can work in the industry, in large restaurants or hotels and I can also teach, in general TLE teacher is my outcome once I choose to be a teacher. So in OJT and Demo Teaching I really need a Laptop especially in Demo Teaching because we know that teachers really use Devices in their teaching just like Laptops and sometimes they have their own projectors and printers.
I wish that before I could do Demo Teaching I would have my own Laptop, because it's hard to just borrow and I don't know who I'll borrow fro, just in case and if someone wants to lend it to me. That's why I want that before that day comes I have my own Laptop to use.
**Laptop Cutie**. Why is that the title I thought of? The reason for that is because that is one of the trends today. If a person likes something, he/she puts the word ***"cutie"*** at the end of it. For example, what I exactly want is a Laptop so I put a cutie in the end of it so the title of this article became Laptop Cutie. And it's like they call it the Law of Attraction when you do that.
As I remember, Maine Mendoza (actress), is the one who started that trend. She had a tweet in 2013 (I'm not that sure as long as I know it's been a long time) on her Twitter account and the tweet is **"Arjo Cutie"**. It was just an expression of her when she saw Arjo Atayde (also an actor) she found Arjo cute and she began to have a crush on the actor. She was not an actress at that time when she tweeted about it. But now in recent years, Arjo has become her boyfriend. So they said it was called the Law of Attraction. And there are many more Tweets by Maine Mendoza that are really coming true these few years and today. Here are some more of her tweets that came true.
****Image source****: **GMA Network**
But in myself, I know that I really need to work hard to earn money and save so I can buy the Laptop I want. I know that I can't just get that easily, it just depends on whether someone give me a Laptop. But it's so impossible that someone will did that to me because our relatives are not rich enough to give me such an expensive gift. That's why I know that I will be the only one to do that for myself, I will the only one that find a way for me to buy or get the Laptop I want.
I don't know if I will be able to fulfill that or if I will have a Laptop before I do Demo Teaching. I don't have a lot of money, I don't have a job right now and my mom salary from her job spents only for expenses here at home, so I no longer hope that I can ask her for help so I can buy Laptop.
But nothing is impossible, right? Especially when you really want to. That’s why I thought I’d gather everything I get here and in Noise. I know it will be a long time before I can save the money I need but I will not lose hope. And we don't know that maybe I'm suddenly surprised that someone will help me to fulfill that.
If I estimate it my Demo Teaching will happen next year, 2023, but I'm not sure what month. So I still have a few months to save for the Laptop.
But if I can't really afford to buy my own Laptop before my Demo Teaching, I will accept it. Maybe I'll find a way to borrow and use a laptop that day.
And lastly “Laptop Cutie” is the title of this because I considered this article as Law of Attraction. Hehe.
That’s all for today. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this article of mine.

A day watching Jurassic World Dominion.
July 17, 2022. Sunday.
I didn't write another article yesterday and the reason is that I watched a movie, based on the title of my article you may already know what movie I watched yesterday.
Yes I watched **Jurassic World Dominion**. As far as I know, it was released last month but I just watched it yesterday. It's okay if I'm late to watch as long as the important thing is that I still watched, I just can't keep up with the trend hehe.
If you can see in my screenshot while I'm watching the movie, the subtitle is Korean *(I'm not that sure hahhaha but I know it's Korean).* But it doesn't matter whatever subtitle it has because they speak in English so I understand what they are saying *(characters in the movie).*
And since I have set a limit on the use of the gadget because I'm reducing my screen time to only 5 hours per day, that's why I didn't write an article yesterday. I also compose articles on the phone and sometimes it takes me a few hours, maybe the fastest is 2 hours or that's the minimum I write an article and the maximum is 3 hours and a half. And if you noticed in the screenshot that I put above, the movie takes almost **2 hours and 30 minutes**, so if I write an article, my screen time will exceed the set time. So I didn't write an article yesterday. Health first is really my priority right now. The grade of my eyes is also going up or my eye grade is increasing. If before the pandemic the grade of my both eyes was only **-1.75** then it became **-2.00** when pandemic happens/runs and I feel that it is now higher there because even when I wear my graded eyeglasses or graded contact lenses it is still a bit blurry. And my Right eye is more blurry compared to my Left eye. I think my right eye is at -**3.00** grade and my left is at **-2.50** grade. When I have a budget I will have my eyes checked again with the ophthalmologist so I can find out the true condition of them. But for now, that's my first solution to prevent further blurring and increase my eye grade, to lower my time using the gadget or limit my screen time.
But let’s go back to that movie I watched. I won't tell what happened in the movie any more or I won't go into details about it, maybe because there are still viewers that didn't watched it and maybe I'll be a spoiler for them. So if you really want to know the story of the movie, just watch it. I just downloaded that movie from **Telegram** on Movies Bot or specifically on ***@MovieDiskBot***, just search for it if you also want to download or you can also watch it directly at the link that will be given so you don't have to download it anymore and for you to save storage. All you need to do when you go to that Channel in Telegram is just type in the Title of the movie you want and then wait for less than a minute and then the movie you want will appear there and just choose you what you want there, because there is only a MB and there is also GB. And lastly, check first before you download because somtimes the language is not in English and it has been dubbed into a different language.
But what I can say about the Jurassic Park Dominion Movie is that it is beautiful, exciting and fun to watch. It still hasn't changed since the first Jurassic Park, it still really hasn't changed and it's still really beautiful. And that's all I can share with you about the movie. I really don't want to tell a lot from it so I will not spoil everyone hahahha.
That’s all for todays article. I hope you enjoy reading. And thank you so much for taking the time to check this article of mine.

Learn & Play
July 15, 2022. Friday.
Happy weekend! Days passed really really fast. It's Friday again and again.
Anyways what is best to do on **Friday**? Well, since I'm on vacation and I don't have any more classes, I thought of studying ***Ukulele*** song and chords again.
One time I posted on my **Noise Cash** account that I now limit my eye on focusing on the gadget screen. My head hurts a bit when I spend too much time using my gadget. That's why just the other day I set a limit on how long a day I should take to face the screen. My ***maximum screen time*** should be only ***5 hours per day***. I am not allowed to exceed the time set but if it is only 30 minutes, it is fine, but if it is more than 1 hour, it is forbidden. Just like yesterday, my screen time was only 5 hours and 30 minutes when I checked it my settings. And I'm glad because I'm following my set time.
And today I don't focus too much on the screen, I'm just learning to play my Ukulele again. But of course the tutorial is also on my phone because it can be seen on YouTube but I have a way to do that so that I don't have to take longer to face the screen and watch the tutorial. I just wrote in a piece of paper the lyrics with strumming pattern and chords of the song I wanted to learn. I only watched the tutorial once so that I wouldn't be confused when I do it.
I have **3 songs** studied today and these are them.
“You Are My Sunshine”
I want to learn how to play this song on the Ukulele because it is one of the easiest of all to learn. Based on what you see in the picture, there are only a few chords in it and you can only do soft strumming. It's also nice to listen to this song especially if you want to sleep so I thought of studying this song. And it also seems to give chill vibes so when I'm a little stressed, I'll just play it to lower my heavy mood and lose or relieve my stress.
“Night Changes”
This song is trending again today and that is the reason why I studied it. It's also one of my favorite songs of **One Direction** and I really like that band so I'm super sad when they split up or their group has disbanned. It's also one of the easiest to learn and this song is one of the songs I chose and want to play in the Ukulele.
“Until I Found You”
When I heard this song I was immediately fascinated so I immediately search it on the internet because I did not know the title of the song. It's a good thing that when you search on YouTube the lyrics only of the song you want to know the title of the song will appear. So thanks to YouTube! Hahhahha. This song is old and actually I can’t remember where and when I heard it. But that's just lately, maybe it's only been a few weeks. That's why when I thought of this something earlier while I was looking for a chord I could learn, it immediately entered my mind. Luckily its chords are easy so I included it in the chords I will learn to play in my Ukulele.
Until tomorrow, I will study those 3 songs because now I'm just starting again (to play Ukulele) and I'm not good like others who just hear and see the chords they know it immediately and can play it well. I'm just a beginner in playing the Ukulele so I'm still learning the easy ones right now. Maybe after my three days of practicing, I'll be able to play this three songs perfectly or if its not that perfect, I'll be able to polish it somehow.
This is the picture of me while I was studying to play some Ukulele chords. I don't like to take a picture of my face but since I will post my Ukulele session here, I have taken a picture of me so that I can include it in this article. I took that picture after I studied Ukulele so that's why I look a bit haggard there hahahha.
That’s all for today. Thanks for reading this. Happy Weekend again.

High School and College Life Realizations
July 14, 2022. Thursday.
Isn't it nice to go back to the memories we had when we were still in High School? Like it says in a song ***High School Life is the happiest of all*** and I agree with that.
Today I just thought of going back to my memories when I was still in Junior High School up to Senior High School. It is true what they say, that high school is really the happiest part or year of a student's life. ***Now that I'm in College, I really feel the hardship that I used to hear before from college students***. Now I myself experiencing the hardship they say and I can say that the life of a college student is not really a joke. Even if you are still in First year college or in Fourth Year college, because all years are really hard and you can't deny that once you are in that position yourself.
That's why this days, when I am on vacation, memories just came back to me how happy my life was when I was still a Hish School Student. Actually I thought when I was in **Elementary school** that being in elementary was the happiest part of studying but I made a mistake because **High School** is really the happiest because this is the time when you can really experience a lot in your life. When I was in High School, I was excited to go to **College** because I had a hard time being in High School because I got used to it in elementary school that the things I do are easy. But now that I'm in college I can say that I'm no longer excited about being a college student, well because the life of a college student is hard, but once you finish college you will the hardship you feel will fade because you will feel fulfillment at that time. You wouldn't think that every day you complain about what you're being asked to do, you'll suddenly find out that you've finished being a college student and you've graduated. But, yes that's right, time passes quickly so if you are having a hard time being a student now, you will be surprised because tomorrow you will finish it.
But let's get back to my main topic. High School is the happiest of all. I'm not saying I want to go back to being a School Student because that's the happiest thing. I am happy now that I am a College student and I will never want to go back to being a High School student. A lot of difficulties and hardships that colleges go through are the reasons why I don't want it to happen again and I want it to end.
***Anyway why did I even say that High School is the most fun?*** Well for me, this is the time to enjoy more than learning. This is the time when you will experience a lot of firsts, I mean the first times you will do things. This is also the time when you can learn a lot from your experiences. And this is the time with a lot of bonding with friends and with classmates.
Actually I just now realized how happy and easy my life was when I was still in High School. Because when I was still in high school, I was feeling that high school was already hard but I was wrong because college was harder. Honestly, High School is not difficult. I know there are people who don't agree with me here but once you go to college, I feel/know you will agree with me that High School is not too difficult.
I used to really not want to be absent from class when I was still in high school but now I've realized that it's okay if I'm absent for at least 1 day. Because back then, when I couldn't come in for a day or more in class, I was immediately ashamed of my classmates but now I've realized that it's okay to be absent and there's nothing wrong with that.
When we had a project and I couldn't do it, I was embarrassed because most of the class had one. But I realized now that that's okay because it won't affect your studies if you don't have a project in a subject.
I also used to be very grade conscious before. When I have a low grade I feel sad right away. Sometimes I ask myself why my grade is like that. But I realized that ***"Grade is just a number" and "Grades doesn't define who you are".***
Did you know that when you are in college, sometimes those who did not have honors in High School get fluent grades, while you, who are an Honor Student will get low grades. Sometimes that's really what happen in College. And that's one of the sad reality.
I remember a meme on FB that I saw before. The High School Students are said to complain when they get 90 grades because it is still low for them. But when you're in college, you're so happy when you get a 90 because it's very difficult to get that grade when you're in College.
But all in all all what I can say to the High School Student today, whether you are Junior High school or Senior High school, just ***enjoy every moment of your life*** because when you are in college thats the time where enjoyment and fun is limited because most of the time you are busy or you have a lot of to do's and at the same time you also have a lot of problems.
That's all for today. Thanks for reading this reading this article. Have a great day.
