Today was one of those unexpectedly good days. Nothing huge happened—but the little moments added up. A good cup of coffee, a smile from a stranger, music that hit just right, and a peaceful walk that made me feel grounded. Grateful for the small joys that quietly make everything brighter. 💛 #SimpleJoys #GratefulHeart

@G_lenahhh 7 May 2024

Today is the saddest day ever. I didn't pass the entrance exam to my dream university, but there's another 're-applying application' for those students who didn't pass. And there's still a slot for those who want to study international studies. What do you think? Should I try again or just find another university?

@G_lenahhh 3 May 2024

Today, we will be having a mock defense with my group mates and panelists. I hope this mock defense will be conducted smoothly, and I hope my groupmates are able to attend. This is the second-to-last mission of being grade 12 students, and we pray for a smooth mock defense this afternoon. best of luck!

@G_lenahhh 2 May 2024

Second day of May and I'm still in my chair, sitting and thinking about what's going on in my life. Life goes on, and problems are always present, but I believe that for every problem, there is also a solution:))

@G_lenahhh 30 April 2024

It's been a while since the last time I published a post here! The last time I wrote an article was 2 years ago, lol. I decided to be active again here, since my classes are asynchronous because of the heat index.

Cramming day! **[January 4,2022|Tuesday]** Hello, everyone! Yesterday I didn't publish an article because I needed to finish my school paper. Cramming Day is real! So I decided to not write an article and instead finish my school paper first. The whole day was so tiring. I don't know how I feel, but I'm really, really tired. I know I'm starting my true life, student life, but this is not what I expected. Tired of doing it every day? Yesterday I started writing two essays on different subjects. I started answering my modules at 8:30 am. By the way, I woke up at exactly 7:00 am. So, at 7:00 in the morning, I start to eat my breakfast and clean the front side of our house. After that, I washed the plates in the kitchen before taking a bath.  At exactly 8:30 am, I started answering my module. The first subject that I answered was math, followed by English, and finally science. only three subjects in the morning and the other subjects at night. I finished answering the three subjects at 3:30 pm. After each subject, I rest for twenty to thirty minutes. After finishing the three subjects, I arranged them on the table and started again to clean our sala. Next, the plates that we used for eating this afternoon. After washing the plates, I started to clean the front door of our house. It's kind of messy because of my three dogs staying there. The last part is that I cleaned out the comfort room, cooked our dinner, and rested again for one hour.  After one hour of rest, I continued answering the last four subjects. I started answering the four subjects at 8:30 pm. It's really tiring every day because I'm the only girl at the house because mom is always busy at her new job and my older brother is practicing their defense. Sometimes I babysit my two cousins. For three hours, I'm their yaya. While I take care of them, I'll read my modules. Answering four modules is not easy because sometimes I really need to focus on one task to perfect the answers or solutions.  I finished my four subjects in four hours. For each subject, I had one hour to answer it. I set an alarm for every subject I answered. I also wrote in a paper the tasks that I didn't understand, and I studied them again after I finished the easy tasks. I always ended up answering the four subjects at 12:00 am or 1:00 am in the morning.  I always use time management, but sometimes I end up with enough advance time to complete my module. Today is cramming day because we only have two weeks of summer break, so I decided to experience it. And now I'm in a hurry to answer all eight subjects. Two weeks off, but a whole year of exhaustion.Yeah, that's the reality.  This is the real world as a student. Sometimes I want to sleep the whole day. But I can't. I have only one day of rest, and it's Sunday. Family Day.Saturday is the day to wash our clothes.This is how I manage my time and how I tire of the studies, but I know it's worth it soon. If you want it, work hard for it. But don't forget to rest. Health is our wealth.  Today is day four of our journey. Whatever happens, never give up on your dreams.And always believe in God. God will protect us. Keep praying and don't lose hope. Let's climb until we reach our true destination. **I would like to thank everyone who has always supported me and left comments, upvoting and liking my articles. Little things make my heart motivated to write again. And lastly, thank you to my generous and kind sponsors. Thank you very much!

New year, New Goals! ***[ January 2,2022|Sunday]*** Hello, everyone! How were your New Year celebrations? Here at our place, the people are so hyper and the kids are always using their equipment to get loud. Half of this month is so busy that I help my mother cook, buy some ingredients and baby-sit my two little cousins. My mom cooked eight dishes. I don't know why she cooked them all. We're all eight in the family. My parents, my older brother and I, and my uncle and his wife and my two cousins. I'm so curious why she cooked all of that, so I asked her, and she said we gave the neighbors half of the dish that she cooked. Aside from my mom, they always gave it every year.Sharing is important.  So let's go back to our main topic. The New Year brings a new goal for me. I want to write down my seven goals. I want to challenge myself, and I think it's really fun. let's go..! ****Exercise at least five times a week.**** I want to exercise my body because every time I walk for five minutes, my body gets tired and I always want water. And mom advised me to exercise because she said it's really important to exercise. And I want to familiarize myself with a healthy lifestyle. I'm getting older, so I protect myself from illness and build myself up. Last year, I promised myself that I would always wake up at seven in the morning and exercise for thirty minutes, but in the end, I always woke up at nine-thirty in the morning and ate ten for breakfast,lol!. My habits are bad, so I want to challenge myself to do these things this year. I hope I can achieve this one.  ***Write twenty five articles per months-***So this one isn't going to be easy, but I will try my best to do this. I want to challenge myself by writing. Staying here for four months, it's really difficult to achieve this, but life goes on. I know myself and I am sure I will achieve this. I hope my body and brain cells cooperate with me this year. So let's go! Keep on writing and grinding.  *****Graduated and got a medal.-***** When my grandma died, I promised to graduate with honors. She always gives me the power to be strong in academics. She's always giving me advice on what I'm doing. And she's always there for me to cheer me up. But she's passed away, so I promised myself to get an honor this year or every year for her and for myself. Even though she's already in heaven, I know she's happy with what I'm doing right now. I study hard, focusing on my goals for this year and achieving them all. Graduation is near and I want to achieve my goal of being an honor student. This is for you, grandma!  **Sleep early.** Last year, I always slept late at night because I was addicted to online games and I had finished my modules and other chores. Yes, even at night, I washed our plates and sometimes we washed our clothes at night every time I had free time. I realized this time that my habit of sleeping late is not fine. I'll search on Google to see what effect I can get if I always sleep late when I see the bad side. I promised myself to sleep at nine thirty or ten pm. And it's really helpful to sleep at least eight hours, or nine hours at least, to relax our brain and body. So I should practice myself to sleep early.  ****I saved all my earnings in 2022 on this platform.**** So I decided to save my earnings on both platforms and withdraw them next year for my senior high school. I want to spend my own money on my school supplies and uniforms. I challenged myself to save my earnings the whole year and withdraw them next year. I hope I can. And I hope I achieve. So these are the five goals that I want to achieve this year. Every year we need to write down a goal that we want to achieve, because it's really important to know what we can do by ourselves. These five goals are very challenging, but I know I can do it and I trust myself.  2021 is not my year because so much has happened in our lives. So many challenges come into our lives, but here we are standing again and trusting in ourselves. Before Christmas, my 29 dollars got scammed. I didn't move on from what happened because it's the fruit of my hard work, but people are so heartless. He scammed my money. So I decided to stop for a while and moved on. Karma is real.  ***Note:*** *Happy New Year, everyone! I want to thank all my readers, commentors, and upvoters for supporting me here at Read Cash for almost three months and staying here. Thank you very much. Now we're starting again a new chapter in our lives. I hope this year is the luckiest year for all of us. Thank you!* ***Like, Comment,& Subscribe*** ***-Thank you very much!***

Kindness replace into tears! **[December 27,2021|Monday]** Hello, everyone! It's been a long time since my last published article. These past few days I've not been active and I feel tired of this month of December. I am trying to write some experience lately because I feel grateful for my earnings on both platforms. Lately, so many problems have come to our country. There's a pandemic, and the one that destroyed the houses of our country's men is typhoon Odette. I'm thankful to God because no one in our family was affected, but sadly, my auntie's house in Cebu was broken because of the strong winds. Since Typhoon Odette destroyed the houses of our country's men, my auntie decided to give some help. She donated 2000 thousand pesos for foods.So I decided to donate my earnings too, on both platforms. I earned 107 dollars on both platforms. My auntie stopped me from cashing out my earnings because she knew that the earnings I saved were for my college, but our country's men needed food and water. So I decided to cash it out. The 78 dollars are sent to my aunt's coin, and she withdraws them from the remittance center.  My mom didn't know this and I don't want to talk to her about this situation, because I know she will stop like my auntie did, but I wanted to help and share my blessings. Auntie is cashing out my 78dollors earnings, and she is buying some food and water at the supermarket. They have a lot of volunteers. I suggested to my auntie that this cashout situation be kept secret. But I know my auntie is not on my side, so I'm ready to talk to my mother later or sooner.  My one day of kindness replacements into tears. Why? My wallet has 29 dollars in it. I decided to cashout too, because I wanted to give it to my uncle in Bicol. So they have a "Noche Buena" at Christmas. However, my auntie's coinsph is not available because she told me she has a hodl in BCH. So, instead of my auntie's account, I chatted with his friend. I texted him that I wanted to send my BCH to his account and convert it to pesos, then send it to my mother in GCash. He agreed with my opinion.I sent my last earnings to him. After I sent it to his account, he said to me that he would wait for the BCH I sent to him before he sent it with the money to my mother's account. I waited. I waited. And I wait. However, until now, Christmas was done, and he never sent the money. The blurred side of the picture is his profile on Facebook. I chatted with him, but he didn't respond anymore. I cried because it's from my hard work and I wanted to give it to my uncle, but why? Why did he need to scam me? I trust him because he's a friend of my auntie's. So because of that, I cried on Christmas Eve because my uncle called us on our cellphones and greeted us with a smile on his face. I want to tell my family the situation and I want to say sorry to my uncle for the stupid thing I did. I want to surprise him, but where's the money? The scammer didn't respond to my chat.  **I'm so sorry uncle..** *Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas I know it's over, but it is still December, so I greet you! lol! My Christmas was a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes I'm sad, and sometimes I'm grateful.I tried to save some money again. I hope the friend of my auntie is guilty of what he did to me.* *But still, thank God for a great Christmas. And thank you to all my sponsors and upvoters, even in my comments. Thank you very much! In advance, happy New Year!*  ***-Thanks for reading!***

What kind of gift do I want to receive this Christmas? **[December 19,2021|Sunday]** Hello, readers and writers! How was your day? The wind from Typhoon Odette was so powerful that our tree in front of our house has already broken because of the strong wind. Thank God, because we are all safe and the rain has already disappeared. I hope you'll stay. I Stay safe and don't forget to pray. Christmas is coming, I was thinking. What kind of gift do I want to receive if someone gave me a gift? I want to receive a gift, but I don't know if someone will give it to me. Everyone wants to receive a gift, right? I would be honored if someone gave me a gift as well as money,lol! Yeah, I hope one of my family members gives me money this Christmas. I changed my mind. I want money instead of a gift. If I have the money, I will buy myself a gift that I want. Easy.  Last Christmas, my auntie gave me shoes and a dress. But I don't want a dress because I'm not comfortable in it. Mom was furious with me at the time because the dress my aunt gave me was so something. The dress is above the knee. I have so many dresses in my closet, but one of those I didn't wear. I want pantalon. Sometimes my older brother calls me a lesbian. Funny. But it's okay because it's not true. I don't like dresses. I want like a t-shirt or something. I'm comfortable with it.  Instead, I stocked my closet with the other dresses. I decided to give them to my cousin. But not at all, because I think if my mind changes, I'll wear that. I gave her my five dresses. She was happy. She thanked me. I am grateful.  **So let's go back to our main topic!** So, what kind of gift do I want to receive this Christmas? Let's goo!... ***Rubber shoes-*** I want to receive shoes. I like to collect shoes, even if I don't have any money to buy them. lol! I have three rubber shoes in my cabinet. All of them are from my generous auntie. Every Christmas I pray that I will receive new rubber shoes for my auntie. My mom didn't buy me rubber shoes because she knew that I wanted to collect them. She always says, "Stop collecting shoes; I don't want to buy your shoes; you already have three rubber shoes." She's my mother, which is why I followed her. So what I do is pray that someone gives me shoes this Christmas.  ***Books*** - Please give me some money to buy a book. Just kidding. I'm a book worm and I'm addicted to reading books. Two months after I read my last book, I'm so bored in this house because I don't have a book to read. I don't want to get myself addicted again to online games. My earnings on this platform weren't big enough and I saved this for my college. And I'm too shy to ask my mother for money to buy one book or two. I'm missing reading books. I tried to read my finished books. Because of the boredom, I already memorized the sentences on the first page. I pray that someone gives me a book, even a novel. That's okay for me.  **Camera -** Because of the pandemic, my new hubby is a photographer. When I was in elementary school, my teacher asked me if I wanted to photograph every gathering in school. It was fun. But I stopped capturing the beautiful nature when my mother decided to go back to our house, which is in Cavite. Grade seven: I became addicted to online games. I forgot my hubby because of online games. And now I want to try again to capture it. I pray too to receive like this, but it's so impossible because this, like a camera, is so very expensive. `Author's note`; **This is all the things on my list that I want to receive this Christmas. I hope one of them comes true. I didn't expect too much because I know it's impossible to get this gift I want. But I believe in God and I will wait until the right time comes. I know I will. Eight days to go before Christmas! Are you excited?**  *Actually, this article was published on December 17, but unfortunately, the cignal was affected because of the strong wind. And I'm so sorry because I didn't reply to my latest article because the electricity had gone out (brown out).* ***I would like to thank everyone who has always supported me and left comments, upvoting and liking my articles. Little things make my heart motivated to write again. And lastly, thank you to my generous and kind sponsors. Thank you very much!

She's so rude! **[December 16,2021|Thursday]** Hello, everyone! Nine days to go before Christmas! How was your day? I hope you'll do great. I want to write about my emotions right now. I was mad at our neighbor for this earlier. She's so rude to my mom. I don't know why her family supports her when she is doing stupid things to our family. Even her father always pissed us off. I think today is a bad day.  This morning, I woke up at 6:30 am. I walked to the bathroom in the kitchen and cleaned my face while I washed my face. I heard the voice of my mother. She was shouting. I immediately walked to my room to get the towel for my face. When I was about to go outside the house, my brother immediately grabbed my wrist and said, "*Mom, is shouting outside because of our rude neighbor*." I was confused because my mom is a friendly woman and the other neighbors on this street are her friends. I was nervous because it was the first time my mom shouted like it was the end of the world.  When my mother enters the gate of our house, she's very mad and her hand is shaking. I wanted to ask her why, but I decided to ask her later. I know that my mom is shouting at me because I'm chismosa. So twenty minutes after the fight between our neighbors, I asked my mother what happened, and when I heard her story, I was mad too. She's very rude. She tells us that our neighbor (Nica) was the first to shout at her. Because their dog wanted to pee on the side of our house, my mom wouldn't allow her to because the smell of the pee was so bad. Nica claims it's just a pee and that my mother didn't die as a result of the smell of her dog's pee.She's rude, right? My mom is older than her and she wasn't a manner. She's only twenty-two years old.  My mom talks to her quietly, but the mouth of Nica is like a monster. But Nico didn't follow what my mom said. Her dog peed on our side of the house, and she was laughing. I want to slap her face! My mother walks towards the direction of the house in Nia because she wants to talk to the parents of Nia. When Mom reached the house of Nica, she knocked on the door, and the person who was there was Nica's father. Mom talked to him about the rudeness of her child, but the father was laughing and said "*Anong masama dun?umihi lang naman aso namin. Tsaka kung mabaho idi buhusan nyo nalang*" Their family is so rude! They don't have a manners. My mom didn't talk to her back because it was super nonsense. They tolerate the rudeness of their daughter. My mom is going back to our side of the house to talk to Nica. My mom said, "Don't do it again." Then my mom was about to walk to our house, but Nica grabbed my mom and shouting, "addict!" I want to punch her face. But my mom didn't fight back. So our neighbor stopped Nica, and Nica was laughing and her hands were shaking. She's shouting, "*crazy woman, don't teach me your stupid words!*" Mom didn't respond, but Nikki walked over to their house and yelled, "Ugly!" so funny! Then mom shouts too. "Crazy women!" Then she gets inside our home with her hands shaking. I know she's mad.  I was mad at her because she called my mom an addict. Mom wanted to go to our captain to file a case against Nica, but my uncle stopped her because he said "Kakausapin ko nalang yung magulang,huwag kana mag sampa ng kaso,gulo lang yan. " But my mom didn't follow her. And guess what? The parents of Nica are pastors. They own a small church, and Nica is a singer in their church and teaches the words of God to the children. Her parents are pastors, but their attitude is so rude. What happened to their attitude. `Author's note:` *Mom didn't bother to go to the captain in our barangay to file a case for nica. I don't know what happened next because mom decided to not tell us. I will try later to ask her what our chairman's decision was. But for me, I was mad at Nico because she called my mom an addict. She's a crazy woman.*  **I would like to thank everyone who has always supported me and left comments, upvoting and liking my articles. Little things make my heart motivated to write again.

Foods in my photo gallery **[December 15,2021|Wednesday]** Hello, everyone! Ten days to go before Christmas. I'm sure you'll be excited, right? We're the same. I'm also excited but kind of sad because my other family members decided not to attend our reunion because of the pandemic, and their houses are too far away. I hope by next Christmas we will be complete. So while I was scrolling through my cellphone, I decided to visit my photo gallery because lately I haven't been active in posting anything on my cellphone or my Facebook account. I admit, since I was a member of this platform, I'm not active on my social media accounts and my friends notice that. Well, Read Cash is my new social media platform. While I was scrolling through my photo gallery, the pictures of the food I ate caught my eye. Every time my auntie visits us from her travels, like yesterday, she visits with her boyfriend the falls in Antipolo, Rizal. She always have a pasalubong . So I decided to write an article about the picture foods in my gallery, because why not, right? Kidding.Before I write this article, I promise myself that I won't be hungry. It's my fault if I'm hungry.  So let's go... I took this photo last year. I think it's New Year's Day. My uncle baked it because he worked in a bakery for almost 12 years. I miss eating this. My best target is the toppings on the top of the cake. lol! Actually, he always baked a cake every time Christmas and New Year were celebrated. But unfortunately, this coming Christmas, I'm not sure if he will bake again because he was fired from his job for stupid reasons. I hate her boss because my uncle worked at their bakery for almost 12 years, and the owner of the bakery did not believe my uncle's trust. And his salary is so low.  Who wants Jollibee? Do you want it? I want it too,lol! For me, the best fast food is Jollibee. I like their ice cream and spaghetti. Well, this photo was taken when Uncle B got his first salary after the pandemic happened. He gave this to me and my older brother, sometimes her child, which means my cousin. I always look at them if their mom is at work. Yes, at the age of fifteen, I'm proud to be a nanny for my cousins. lol! It's okay because sometimes my uncle and his wife give me some food every time they go grocery shopping. I'm missing eating this. Please treat me. Okay, this one is my favorite of those photos in my gallery, because it's so delicious. By the way, this is a vegetable salad. The ingredients are carrots, cucumber, litus, and mayonnaise. My mom decided to make vegetable salad when we ate a lot of chocolate. I don't know why, but she said this is healthy and the first time I tasted it, I did not approve of the creamy, so I decided to buy again mayonnaise in the store and put it all on my vegetable salad. I tasted it again. Finally, the second taste is so delicious. Should I be a chief? kidding! So this package is from our mayor or captain in our barangay. I'm not sure, but I just want to say thank you because at Christmas we have a fruit salad on our table. Haha. My mom doesn't like fruit salad because she says it's too sweet. She doesn't want any sweet foods, but her favorite is chocolate. Funny, right? But I'm sure this coming Christmas she'll be doing a fruit salad. Finally, after so many many years, haha. I'm sure I'm the first person to eat fruit salad at Christmas. Eating the food I like while doing my school work that I didn't want.  Lastly, this cake is from my auntie, the older sister of my father. My older cousin passed the board exam in CPA and gave this to us. I knew from the start that she could pass the board exam because, since she was a child, she'd always been at the top of her class and she graduated in accountancy at Magna Cumlaude. I'm proud of her. She's always had a serious face, but her heart is so precious. When she got her first salary as a CPA, she gave me and my older brother some money and this cake. I'm very thankful that God gave me this family. This is the biggest gift ever.  `Author's note;` *Sorry guys, if you're hungry because of my article today. I'm already hungry too, and I want to try it all. While I was writing this article, I realized that the pictures we took are really important because, at the end of the day, you see in your gallery the foods you enjoyed eating. Yes, that's a memory, but it's a gold one because of that food. We are happy. We had a good time being humans on this planet.* **I would like to thank everyone who has always supported me and left comments, upvoting and liking my articles.

What would I be doing if I wasn't a member of this platform? **[December 14,2021|Tuesday]** Hello, everyone! Christmas is near. How was your day? I hope you'll do great. For the past few days, I have been writing and publishing stories. I don't have any topics on my mind. That's why I decided to write a story. I'm so sorry if sometimes my published articles are mostly stories or fictional stories. Now, I decided to write about the things that I do when I'm not a member of this platform.  I'm very thankful this year because I found this very beautiful platform. This platform is very important to me because the earnings I receive are very beneficial to me and my family. And another thing, the users of this platform are very friendly, generous, and kind. The fact that there are no toxic people is the most appealing aspect of this platform to me. When I tell my mother about this platform, she's very happy, not because of the earnings I get, but because I practice my vocabulary and writing skills on it.  What was I doing when I was not a member of this platform? Well, there are a lot of things I have to do, but the three things are; **Playing online games** **Reading a lot of books** **Facebook** Well, all of this is true. This is something I always do before entering this platform. I realized why these three things are my favorite things to do. I'm different now. Before, I was trying hard to write an essay, composing a sentence and something related to my life. Before, they asked me why I had difficulty composing grammar or essays, if I'm already smart in class, sometimes I want to talk behind their backs because if I'm good in class, it means I have no weaknesses. All of us have weaknesses. So let's go back to our main topic,lol! ***1.Playing Online Games*** Before, I was addicted to playing Mobile Legends. It's not really easy to stop yourself from playing because it's such an addicting game. I was always late going to sleep in the evening after eating dinner, and it was hard to answer my module because I was always thinking about playing a game. A lot of things are running through my mind because of the addiction to those games. Because of this platform, I'm glad that I controlled myself to stop playing Mobile Legends.  **2.Reading a lot of books** Well, reading a lot of books is my hubby. Reading books is very helpful for expanding my vocabulary and always thinking positively. But this year, I'm not actively reading because I've finished all the books that my auntie gave me before, and I don't have any money to buy some books. Last month, I planned to buy seven books, but my mom needed some money, so I didn't have anything to do. I gave my earnings in Read cash. It's okay with me, but I'm a little bit sad because I had already added to the cart the books that I wanted to buy. (Bekenemen chrizz) **3.Facebook** I admit that I am always on Facebook, scrolling, viewing some videos, and my favorite is reading the comments of arguing people. so funny. Before, I always commented on the pictures of my relatives, but the sad part is that they never reply to me in the comment section, but the other commentors always get a reply from them. For me, it's nothing because I was focusing on the community. I never have that negative mindset. Sometimes I always say to myself, "*it's okay, they forgot to reply to you*." Then I'm okay. The sad part of my life before is that I was always begging those people around me to stay by my side. The beautiful part of this platform is that you can read others' thoughts and their bad days. I always thank God for introducing me to people who give me life advice, cheer you up, and, most importantly, support you no matter what happens. So, I just want to thank all the users out there who have always supported me from the start. Merry Christmas 🎄 `Author's note;` ***I would like to thank everyone who has always supported me and left comments, upvoting and liking my articles.

11:59 pm **[December 13,2021|Friday]** I'm here at the flower shop. I bought a dozen flowers for the girl I like. She wanted red roses, that's why I bought a dozen of them. I really miss her. I hope she's okay right now. I wanted to hug her, but I couldn't. I want to visit her, but I don't know if I can visit her new home.  _ I come from a rich family. I'm the only child, and the things that I want are very easy to get. My parents have a business, and sometimes they don't have time to take care of me. They are both busy with stupid business. I don't know if I exist in their lives because they are always out of the country for some important meeting. Our house is a mansion, but the people who live there are only seven. Me and the six maids. One of them is my nanny. She's already 54, but she's always here at my side to take care of me. She had one daughter, a beautiful daughter. Her name is Sam. She's kind, talented, and intelligent. My parents gave her a scholarship to the university where I studied. Actually, she's my block mate, I'm close to her , we're like lover to close,but one day we're strangers again. The first time I saw her was when she visited Manang Pepita, her mother. That time, my eyes locked on her beautiful face. She's a simple woman, which is why I like her. She's staying here at our house for a while because she's starting to study at my school.  She's easy to be friends with because she's very kind and talkative. We always go to university together. We eat together every free time, and she's my tutor. My mom assigned her to be my tutor in exchange for the scholarship given to her by my parents. She's actually a good tutor. Every Sunday, we go outside to play in the arcade and eat at the fast food restaurant. We also go to church. But because of my stupid mind we're like a stranger again. She's always at my back to support me in every sport I want to play. I love her very much. The day I confessed to her was the best day of my life because she admitted that she liked me back. Of course, I'm very happy because, finally, she's mine. The first month of our relationship is not going well because my mother didn't want Sam to be my girlfriend. She knew that before, because her family is poor, she said we're not on the same level in life. I fight about our relationship with my mom. She's my happiness. I'll fight for her no matter what happens.  But in the end, my mom agreed to our relationship. I'm very thankful. Sam is a girl who has had a lot of dreams in life. She wants to become a teacher. She said if she becomes a licensed teacher, her hard work is nothing if the students are learning from her. I'm happy every day. And I'm always thankful to God that she came into my life. She's a clingy woman. She wants a hug every time we see each other. Well, we're in the same house,lol! She always say to me every day the words *' I love you'* that make my heart melted. Sometimes we have small fights about little things, but it's normal, right? It's a part of the relationship. We cannot sleep if we're on good terms. We need to say sorry to each other, then we're okay again. She's an understanding person. We're always going together to the university. I always fetch her every day in the classroom. I miss those days. The biggest fight we had was that I broke her favorite flower glass. She even cried because of that. I bought her a new glass of flower, but she didn't want it. I asked her why the glass is very important to her, and she said that her father gave it to her. When I heard that, I immediately apologized to her again and again.But she didn't accept my apologies. We're on to the fight in four days. Her actions toward me were so cold, I felt guilty. On the fifth day of our fight, I bought her ten glasses of flowers. She was shocked but immediately ignored me again. She walked faster to their room and locked herself in the room. When afternoon came, I panicked because she wasn't out of that room. She hadn't eaten in the afternoon, so I asked Manang Pepita's permission if I was allowed to go to their room, and she immediately nodded because she said I'm their boss. Funny. I'm not their boss. My parents are their bosses, not me.  I have a tray with food. I was about to knock when I heard her voice and realized that she was crying, and I heard something that froze me. "*Please! Not now! I want to chase my dreams with iñigo. Please, not now. I want to be happy again* " I heard her saying that, while crying. After five minutes of standing at their front door, the cry I heard immediately disappeared, so I opened the door and I saw Sam lying on the floor with blood on her nose. I immediately called her mother. After 10 minutes, the ambulance came to our house. I started to cry. I don't know why. I think it's because I love her. When we reached the nearest hospital, the staff of the hospital ran her to the emergency room. After one hour of waiting, the doctor came out. He said that Sam had a leukemia, stage 4. I started to tear up because I couldn't move on if Sam leave me. I talked to her about her condition, and she knew that she had leukemia. She knew last year and didn't tell her mother because she didn't want to waste money, because she already knew that her life was not going to be longer anymore. She often bleeds from the nose and gums. She has bruises on her body. One time, she vomited blood.  She always say," *I'm strong, I will fight".* After one week of staying in the hospital, She said goodbye to me on December 24 at 11:59 pm. Tears of joy because she didn't suffer anymore from her illness or tears of pain because she's never come back in my life. Her last words were, *"Merry Christmas, Iñigo. I was looking forward to this day because I wanted to be the one to greet you first. Merry Christmas my love. Pahinga na ako hah."* Then,she closed her eyes for the last time. And that time I was burst of crying. ***"Merry Christmas Sam !"*** **-The end** `Author's note:` `Hello, everyone.

Forgiveness is not for everyone **[December 10,2021|Friday]** "M-Ma... si Papa... n-nagpatiwakal.." Spitting those words out of my mouth felt like it drained all the energy out of me. Nanghihina ang buong sistema kong napatingin sa walang buhay na katawan ni Papa habang nakatali ang leeg. Seeing my dad lifeless while hanging is the most traumatizing scene I've ever witnessed. I don't even know if I could erase that painful scene in my head. At 16 years old, I've lost my loving father and him, leaving us in a drastic way was the least thing I expected. I've known my father as a jolly and care-free person. He'd never allow any negativity consumed him and our family. So, as time goes by, I couldn't help but wonder why he had to reach that point. When I reached at 18, there, everything is slowly making sense to me. I now understood why my father ended his life. "Bakit kasi 'di ka gumaya sa mga pinsan mo! Nagmana ka talaga sa tatay mo na WALANG SILBI!" sigaw ni Mama. My heart instantly ripped apart with her words. I hate how my mom compares me with my cousins, but I hate it more on how she insulted and disrespect my father like that! As far as I know, my dad had always loved my mom when he's alive. I've witnessed how my father treated her like a queen even though we don't have a castle. My dad showered her with care and treasured her like she's the most precious gem my dad had. And now, she would disrespect my father after everything?! "Grabe ka, Ma!" puno ng sarkasmong litanya ko nang maalala lahat ang sakripisyo ni papa para sa kaniya. "How can you easily say those words, Ma? Wala na ba talagang halaga sa 'yo si Papa?" My voice broke. "Aba't sumasagot-sagot ka pa ha!" She was about to slap me when I harshly grabbed her wrist. She was stunned and her eyes grew bigger. "TANDAAN MO, UTANG NA LOOB MO SA AKIN NA PINANGANAK KA!" her voice roared. With teary eyes, I stared at my mother coldly. "Hindi ko kailanman hiniling na ipanganak mo ako sa mundong 'to, Ma! Kasi kung ganito lang din naman ang buhay na ipapamulat mo sa akin, bakit ko pa hihilingin? Mas gugustuhin ko na lang na hindi mabuhay sa mundong 'to kung ganito pala ang madadatnan ko! Tandaan mo 'yan!" mahina ngunit mariin na litanya ko sa kaniya. And with that, I left her speechless. As I turned my back, the tears that I was holding for too long are finally falling. I swear, it was my first time to fight back at my mom. Hindi ko ginusto ang nangyari pero hindi ko rin siya hahayaang insultuhin si Papa nang gano'n-gano'n lang. "Naku, si Grace? Yung anak ko? For sure, maaga 'yang mabubuntis," wika ni Mama sa mga Tita kong bumisita sa bahay. "Grabe ka naman sa anak mo, mare." Hindi ko na pinakinggan ang pag-uusap nila at nagkulong sa kwarto. Iyak lamang ako ng iyak. A mother shouldn't be supposed to act like that! She should be the support system of her child— not the root of all the bully and maltreatments. From that day onwards, I promised to myself that I will become a lawyer no matter what it takes. Isasampal ko sa lahat ang mga achievements ko at ipapalunok ko sa lahat ang mga salitang binitawan nila. I will prove them wrong! Right at 25, I passed the Bar Exam for Law and even bagged the Seventh spot in the entire Philippines. I finally became a lawyer with my own efforts, sweat, hardwork and money. "Patawarin mo na kasi 'yong Tito mo, anak. Hindi naman niya sinasadya 'yong nangyari noon kasi lasing siya. Awang-awa na ako sa Tito mo anak. 'Di ka ba naawa sa Tito mo?" The way how my mother made an effort to come in my apartment and asked for forgiveness disgusts the hell out of me. "Ako 'yong anak mo pero sa kaniya ka naaawa?" Pagak akong natawa. "Ako 'yong biktima pero sa kaniya ka naaawa? Ako ang biktima pero ako dapat ang mag-adjust? Kung sabagay, bakit ka nga ba maaawa sa akin kung nga bilang nanay ko, 'di ka naniwala sa akin no'ng sinabi ko 'yong ginawa niya!" Mapakla akong napangiti at pilit na pinipigilan ang mga luha kong huwag bumagsak sa harap niya. I was once a loving daughter to my mother. I was once a jolly person to everyone. But all of them made me heartless that I am right now. "Kahit luluhod ka pa o iiyak, hindi mo makukuha ang kapatawaran na hinihiling mo!" asik ko. "Anak naman... parang wala tayong pinagsamahan.." Natawa na lang ako. "So, you cared about our bond?" angil ko. "ANG GALING MO!" nanggagalaiting litanya ko. Hindi ko na kinaya 'yong hapdi sa dibdib ko hanggang sa naramdaman ko na lang ang pagragasa ng mga luha sa mata ko. "ALAM MO, SOBRANG LAKI NG TAMPO KO SA 'YO, MA!" Nagsimula na akong mapaiyak sa harap niya. "NI MINSAN, HINDI MO IPINARAMDAM SA AKIN NA NANAY KITA! HINDI MO MAN LANG PINAKITA SA AKIN NA MAHALAGA AKO SA BUHAY MO! KAYA HINDI MO AKO MASISISI KUNG SOBRANG LAYO NG LOOB KO SA 'YO NGAYON!" Mas lalong bumigat ang paghinga ko at para na akong tanga sa kaiiyak. "ALAM MO PA KUNG SAAN AKO SOBRANG NASAKTAN? IT'S WHEN YOU HAD A SECRET AFFAIR WITH TITO ARTHUR WHILE YOU WERE STILL ON WITH MY FATHER!" There, I cried so much. "Magkapatid sila, Ma!" sigaw ko sa kaniya. "Kaya hindi ko masisisi si Papa kung bakit siya nagbigti!" Nakayuko lamang si Mama at kita ko ang labis na hiya sa mukha niya. With a shattered heart, I stared at my mother with no emotions. "I will make sure that Tito Arthur will rot in jail, Ma! Dahil hindi lang ang hustisiya ko ang pinaglalaban ko, kundi pati na rin ang kaso ng anak mo sa kaniya na ginahasa niya rin mismo!" "You are defending a rapist, Ma! He raped me and my step sister who was his own daughter! And I didn't become a lawyer for nothing, Ma. I will definitely make sure that I will get our justice even if it means you became my enemy!" I screamed with conviction. "Makakaalis ka na," malamig na litanya ko. She just stared at me with tears in her eyes. "A-Anak... I'm sorry..." With so much tears in my eyes, I dropped my final words as I weakly smiled at her. "Forgiveness is not for everyone, Ma. Most especially when those people scarred and damaged you for life!" **-The end** I just want to say thank you for always leaving a comment and upvoting my articles.

The best Reunion! ***[December 9,2021|Thursday]*** I always stop the radio or my cellphone if the music starts to play. I'm not a fan of the music because it made my mother die because of it.  She didn't eat and sleep because she was focusing on her career. Yes, my mother is a singer. She has a band. However, their band was not popular anymore because of the age of their songs. She tried to compose a song for their bands, and her dream was to be a popular singer again, but she ended up dying.  That day, I promised myself that I wouldn't sing, but I ate my words because of Duke. He's a great singer in our school and has been my best friend since I was in grade three. He is handsome, intelligent, and, of course, talented. The girls in our school are going crazy because of his charisma. He's the one who pursued me to sing. He knows that I don't want to sing, but he's so naughty, so I tried to practice my voice until I entered the music contest at our school. At first, I was really nervous because it was my first time singing in public, but my handsome best friend was always supporting me. The singing contest has ended and I'm the first placer. Not bad for a first-timer like me. _ I joined and joined in the singing contest until someone discovered my talent. But I refused her offer to me. I'm content with what I have. But Duke got mad at me. "What are you doing? That's a big opportunity for you! " He said, with a high voice. "I already say to you that I don't want to sing, Duke!" I said And he walked out. _ "Didn't you say you've liked Duke since you were in elementary school?" Monica said. My friend I nodded. "Ow! Did you have a crush on him until now? " She asked with tease on her face "Yes,but I don't want to confess him. So shut up your mouth and don't say him,what I say to you,lol!" I said I don't want to expose my feelings to him. I don't want to sever our friendship, which we've had since elementary school. Sometimes I tried to confess to him, but my mind always said no. Yeah, he's handsome. A very good handsome man. _ A week had passed when Duke tried to convince me to accept the offer that I had already refused. And I always say to him, "no" and "I'm not interested". He's a guy who always supports you in whatever decision you make, but now I don't know what happened to him. So I confronted him.  "Why are you mad at me?" I asked "Nothing," he immediately answered. "Nothing?! But why are your actions towards me so cold? " I tried to calm myself. "Do you want to know why? Because I want you to forget your mother's past! It's really different now, Elyse! Why are you so scared to do it again? " He said with a low tone. "No! I promised myself that I would never sing again, Duke. The last time I sang was because of you! " I said and ran. Yes because of you, because I love you. I'll never see his face again after that day. He tried to talk to me, but I refused. He tried to visit me in our house, but I refused to see him. I tried to stay away from him, and it's right. I never saw him. That day, even my best friend Monica was not by my side. _ My father talked to me about my talent. He asked me why I didn't want to sing again, even though I had an angelic voice. I told him the truth, that I wanted to sing, but I was scared too. I'm scared that what happened to my mother will happen to me too.  My father is a big help to me and my siblings. They tried to convince me to sing again and practice my voice. And after so much convincing, I've agreed to practice my voice and re-join the singing contest.  I wanted to tell to Duke, but he never contacted me or texted me. He's a ghost now. Even Monica was a ghost too.  _ A year has passed, and finally I'm 22 years old. I still join singing contests in the mall or at fiestas. And guess what? I'm always a winner in the contest, and it's a big help to my family the amount that I get every time I win. I want to find Duke because I want to tell him my journey in the singing industry. He's the one who motivate me but, where's he is? _ While I was typing on my computer, Chin texted me and invited me to the big event. It's a wedding gathering! I texted her back what kind of wedding it was and she said, "Church wedding." "So what's up?" I texted her with a confused face. "Uhm.. can you sing at their wedding? The one singer I got was called to cancel her performance because of the emergency. " She texted "Okay, but I have to think first because I have some school works to do. You see, I'm graduating. " I texted back. "Please! I need you. You're the best singer. That's why I like you. Give me your price, lady!" so annoying and fake friends,lol! She's my friend when the two ghosted me. I agreed to her deal with me, and the price that I gave was just a joke, but she accepted it. What a generous person! I don't know who the main even of the wedding, because Chin didn't give me an invitation just a address of the venue. So I went to the venue and texted her that I was already there. "Hey! I'm glad that you are here. I thought you were just joking. Because the bride's mother is so strict, I desperately need a singer for this event. Thank you, my friend! " She said, while hugging me.  "HAHA, so I'm your savior, right?" I said while hugging her back.  "So, who will get married? Your friend? " I asked her "Yes, actually, she's my cousin. She's pregnant. That's why the wedding is so fast." She innocently said While we were talking, the event organizer announced that the wedding had started. So I walked on the side of the church. Also check the mic.  The event started. When I was about to sing, the man who walked first in the center of the church was the man who I love. The man who always supports me and my best friend. He was shocked when he saw me, and I was also shocked because I never thought that he was the groom of this wedding. I wanted to run outside and cry, but the wedding had already started, so I focused on my business. I sang with tears in my eyes. When the bride was walking, I started to burst into tears because the bride and groom of this wedding were my two best friends who left me like nothing. Do I feel betrayed or is it my fault because I kept my feelings toward him? Great! And she's pregnant! I think this is the best reunion in my life. My two Best friend's wedding and I am the singer of their wedding! Great, Reunion! ***-The end*** I'm so sorry for the hanging ending. I'm pressed to write this because I have school work to do. I hope you'll like it. I just want to say thank you for always leaving a comment and upvoting my articles. Thank you to my generous sponsors, and I saw it! Thank you, Ms, @Bloghound for renewing your sponsorship. God bless you! **-Thank you for reading!**

@G_lenahhh 8 December 2021

I married a blind woman (Part 2) **[December 8,2021|Wenesday]** It has been four months since Sheryl went to visit her family. While I, on the other hand, still continued hooking up with different ladies until I met this girl named Hazel. I met her just two months ago and I was completely head over heels to her. For two months of being with her, the two years of being with Sheryl was completely wiped off. Nabura lahat ang dalawang taong alaala kasama si Sheryl dahil lang sa dalawang buwang pagsasama namin ni Hazel. There, I've realized that no matter how long you have been with someone, it won't matter if you will meet someone along the way who's way better and can make you more happy. — It was Saturday cold afternoon when me and Hazel had sex in the sofa of our condo. We were so wild and so thirst for each other's touch. Both of us only stopped when the door parted without warning. And to our suprise, we saw Sheryl. My heart was beating so mad against my chest. I froze at my place even Hazel couldn't move. We were immobilized by Sheryl's presence. "L-Love..." I immediately got my shirt and my pants on as I catch for my breath. Sheryl just smiled at me innocently. "Love, I missed you..." She then hugged me tightly. Sinenyasan ko si Hazel na umalis na muna atsaka ko niyakap pabalik si Sheryl. "I miss you too, love." My voice sounded so forced and half-baked. I thought this the end of me but thanks to her condition. It always saves me from humiliation. — Weeks had passed since Sheryl arrived in our condo and she is still clueless of what's going on. Dinadala ko minsan si Hazel sa condo kahit nandoon pa si Sheryl. Afterall, she couldn't see anything. And as we usually do, me and Hazel make out while Sheryl is sleeping. God, the thrill again. I've been missing this! — The next morning, Sheryl prepared a breakfast for us. This time, the coldness in her eyes is more evident. "Kain na, love." There was no sweetness in her voice. Bigla na akong kinutuban. Nagsimulang mamara ang lalamunan ko. Sa unang subo ko ng pagkain, tinitigan lamang ako ni Sheryl. "Masarap 'di ba?" she chuckled. And the next words she uttered stabbed my heart. "I hope you are eating healthy after causing a person to lose appetite for weeks," she smiled at me. That froze me at my place. "L-Love..." My voice broke. She immediately removed her eyeglasses and she smiled coldly. Before I could even utter a word, she continued. "I hope you are doing fine after hurting a person, love. I hope you are happy after causing a person to shut down crying." Kita ko ang unti-unting pamumuo ng mga luha sa gilid ng mga mata ni Sheryl habang nagsasalita. "And I hope you realize that you actually destroyed a person, love," she smiled painfully. Biglang bumigat ang paghinga ko. "L-Love... I'm sorry..." I started to feel the painful clench in my chest. My throat started constricting in pain. And all I could manage to do was to apologize over and over again. "L-Love... I really love you," I whispered. She just chuckled. "You always tell me that you love me but your actions always fail you, Kevin. And that's the tiring part." There, my heart broke. Her words seems like lethal daggers that completely stabbed me. Sheryl wiped her tears and she smiled at me again. "Nakakakita na pala ako," she whispered as another silent tears escaped her eyes. That brought me goosebumps. "K-Kailan pa?" She weakly smiled at me. "Four months ago, I lied to you, Kevin. I didn't visit my parents, but instead, I had an eye surgery and the surgery was successful." Tears continued streaming down her face. "I can clearly see everything now." May laman 'yong mga salita niya. "But that didn't make any difference anyway. Kahit no'ng 'di pa ako nakakakita, ramdam ko na," she smiled. My eyes could no longer hold my emotions and there, I cried in front of her. "L-Love... 'di ko sinasadya.." Tuluyan nang bumuhos ang mga luha ko. She just chuckled painfully. "I ignored everything just to keep you, Kevin. I fought my love for you through silence and letting myself be blind from everything," she cried. The squeeze in my heart is getting tighter. Mas lalo pang bumigat ang paghinga ko sa sunod na sinabi niya. "I thought if I do my wifely duties right, I can make my man stay. How foolish I am to think of that!" She punched her chest as she cried. "Love... tama na," I whispered. "I love you..." "No, Kevin! You just love the idea of having me as your wife! You love me because you could get access to me everytime! You love me because I always care for you! And above all, you just love me because I love you!" Her lips trembled in front of me as she spoke. "Ginawa mo lang akong isang pahinga pero sa loob ng dalawang taon, hindi mo ako itinuring na tahanan!" sigaw niya. There, she cried. She cried a lot. "I-I'm sorry..." is all the words I managed to utter. Sheryl wiped her tears and my heart broke when she removed her wedding ring. "Lumaban ako sa pagitan ng pagsuko at pagpapatuloy—pero mas naramdaman kong panalo ako 'pag isinuko ko ang pinaglalaban ko." She weakly smiled at me as she slowly placed the wedding ring in my hands "That's not for me to keep, Kevin," she smiled, referring to the ring. Mas lalong bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Unti-unting tumayo si Sheryl at nagsimulang nag-impake ng kaniyang mga gamit. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang umiyak at tingnan lamang siya. Nang matapos siyang mag-impake ay tuluyan na akong nadurog. *"I loved you, Kevin. Thank you for the two years of marriage*." Silent tears gushed through her cheeks as she smiled weakly. Tinignan ko lamang siya nang puno ng pagsisisi at panghihinayang. *"L-Love..."* I tried to win her back but her eyes is already determined to leave me. "*I still love you Kevin but I need to do this.*" Her voice broke. Before she could turn her back, she weakly smiled at me and the last words she uttered completely broke my heart. "*I have now realized that I need to let you go. Not because I don't love you anymore but because I have to accept that you let me go first*." **-The End** `I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has always supported me on this platform, as well as to my generous sponsor.Merry Christmas in advance. Thank you!` ***-Thank you for reading!***

@G_lenahhh 7 December 2021

I married a blind woman **[December 7,221|Tuesday]** The smell of savory aroma of grilled chicken and omelette coming from the kitchen instantly wafted through my nostrils. There, I saw my wife's figure as she heartily prepared our food for breakfast. If this scene was only two years ago, my heart would probably get crazy while seeing this beautiful woman in front of me while doing her wifely duties right. But, no! Because just how time changes, people and their feelings change, too. Yes, Sheryl has always been kind to me. Despite her being blind and being incapable to see the world, it didn't hinder to become a phenomenal woman that she is right now. It was two years ago when I decided to court Sheryl and it only lasted for three months when she answered me. Our relationship was so perfect that it even progressed to marriage. I married her because she has something in her that carries an air of a wife material. She was different from the other girls I've met before. She was uncomplicated, uncluttered, undemanding and just a simple lady. She holds herself with utmost air of grace and innocence. A complete package, I must say. But men are men. We don't settle for one dish only. Regardless if it's already the finiest and tastiest dish that has been served at the table, we still crave for another menu— we still search for something that is new from our tastebuds and something that will bring us new thrill and excitement in life. And that's exactly what happened in our relationship between me and Sheryl. I let the temptation and lust took over my mind and my system. It was over three months when I started cheating on her. I make out with different women I just met in clubs. There was even a moment that I had sex with somebody while Sheryl was just beside us. The thrill that I've got that day was strangely overwhelming. Inulit-ulit ko pa 'yon hanggang sa nakasanayan ko na. She was so clueless because she's blind. To put it simply, I took advantage with her disability that I once embraced and loved before. "Love, kain na..." Bigla akong bumalik sa reyalidad nang marinig ko ang malamyos na boses ng asawa ko. Despite her condition, Sheryl knew when I'm already around. I don't know but based on studies, mas magaling sila sa pang-amoy at pakiramdam kaysa sa normal na tao. "L-Let's eat?" I cleared my throat. I looked at my wife and I thought I saw something different in her face. She then bowed her head and upon lifting it up, the emotions I saw in her eyes earlier was wiped off completely. She then put on a smile in her face. She was in her usual composed demeanor again, naive and totally innocent. At this moment, I wished she'd confront me. Gusto kong malaman kung ano ang nararamdaman niya. Sheryl was a smart woman. She has a sharp and agile mind. I knew she could sense if something is going on. "By the way, mawawala ako ng four months." There was coldness in her voice. That petrified me a bit. "W-Why?" I stuttered. May alam na ba siya? Is this the end of us? Before I could even response, she smiled. "Magbabakasiyon lang ako kina mama, love. Huwag mo ako masiyadong ma-mimiss ha?" she chuckled. The lightness in her voice somehow lifted the heavy load in my chest. So, she's still clueless, huh? "Don't worry about me, love. Alam kong miss mo na rin ang pamilya mo," I responded and faked my voice to be sad. But at the back of my mind, I was so happy kasi mas marami akong oras para lumandi at mas may freedom akong makapagdala ng babae dito sa condo namin. **-To be Continue** **[Note]** *Hello, everyone!

Different world **[December 4,2021|Saturday]** Ever since I was a child, I always hated my parents for not taking care of me. They are always busy with their business. Business, business, and business. I wanted to tell them that I wanted their attention and that I wanted them to take care of me, but I couldn't because I was scared if they got angry at me. I'm s Solly .I'm a spoiled girl. I always get what I want.I'm a popular girl in our school, talented and intelligent.  Our house is a mansion, but I am always alone. My parents hired ten maids because they wanted to be sure that I was safe and happy. "Happy", that's the word I want to experience, to be happy. Yes, I get what I want, but sometimes I need more, not money, but attention.I don't have any siblings, and my other relatives hate me because they say I'm a war-frick girl.  Since I was in elementary school, I hated all the people around me. I always wanted to fight or piss some people off because I wanted attention. I have one friend. She's always on my side. Funny because her family is always complete at every gathering, and me? I'm always alone. Alone to celebrate Christmas, the new year, even my 18th birthday, I'm alone. I am 19 years old girl who wants an attention. __ I'm on the way to our house with my driver. I'm excited about going home because my parents just arrived. I'm happy because, after three months, they went home. I'm turning off my cellphone because I want to enjoy my day with my parents. While we were on the way home, I was asleep. I felt someone calling my name, so I opened my eyes.I saw my driver.  *"Madam,nandito na po tayo"* my driver said I just nodded and got out of the car. I walk faster because I'm really excited about hugging my parents. I was near our door when I saw a luggage set, three big luggage sets. I asked our maids "*Ano Ito? Kanino Ito? Kakadating palang ba ng mga magulang ko?* " I asked because my mother texted me that they were already at home. But what is this luggage?  *"Inutusan po ulit kami ng magulang nyo na ibalik po yung mga damit nila sa luggage dahil may urgent meeting daw po sila."* Aling Nineta said. I thanked aling Nineta and after that I immediately ran upstairs to talk to my parents. They always have an urgent meeting, business, business, always business. I knocked on their room. I hope my parents are not leaving again, please. Gusto ko silang makasama kahit tatlong araw lang. Bumungad saakin Ang maganda kong mommy. She's 41 years old but has the face of a 20-year-old. yinakap ko kaagad ang mommy at hinalikan sa pisnge. *"Oh, baby, naka uwi ka na pala."* my mom said, kahit ang pag uwi ko hindi nila napansin. Tandaan mo sol,busy sila. Busy! *"Yes,mom umuwi talaga ako ng maaga kasi tatlong buwan kayong nawala at hindi man lang tumawag kaya naisipan kong umuwi ng maaga para makapag bonding tayo nila dad"* Naka ngiti kong sabi,sinadya ko talagang paringan sila para mas tumagal ang pag stay nila dito sa mansyon. *"Uhmm.. honey, may kailangan kasi kaming meeting na dapat puntahan. Kailangan namin puntahan iyon para lalong lumago ang business natin"* ani niya. Lagi nalang business ang inaatupag nila! Paano naman ako? May halaga ba ako sakanila? O mas mahalaga talaga ang negosyo nila kaysa saakin. Sometimes I wonder if I was adopted.  *"Mommy,aalis na naman kayo? Ako na naman maiiwan dito?! Pwede bang sa susunod na araw nalang kayo dumalo ng meeting? Hindi naman agad kayo babagsak diba?"* Habang sinasabi ko iyon pinipigilan kong umiyak dahil lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na malakas ako at matatag. "*No. This is really important,kaya namin ito ginagawa dahil sayo. Gusto naming bigyan ka lalo ng maganda buhay"* biglang singit ni dad *"Oh. Important. Mas importante papo ba kaysa saakin?"* Tanong ko ulit dahil gustong gusto ko ng ilabas lahat ng inanakit ko sakanila. *"Hindi naman sa ganun,anak. Gusto lang naming bigyan ka ng mas magandang buhay at pag aralin sa magandang unibersidad, ano bang gusto mo?"* Ani ni mom *"Tinatanong ninyo kung anong gusto ko? Simple lang mom and dad, huwag kayong umalis"* Ani ko *"Hindi pwede anak! Kailangan talaga namin umattend ng meeting, please uuwi rin kami ng daddy mo sa makalawa,huwag ng makulit"* ani ng magaling kong Ina. *"What? Ako pa ang makulit?! Mommy naman! Gusto ko lang naman kayo makasama,ngayon na nga lang ako humiling sainyo eh!"* Hindi ko na napigilan ang aking mga luha Hindi ko na kayang itago ang nararamdam ko sa mga magulang ko,I want their care and attention. Is it really that hard to give? Simula bata ako mga kasambahay na dito sa bahay ang aking kasama,maging pag graduate ko sa elementarya at highschool ay sila na ang kasama ko. Hindi ko alam kung anak ba talaga nila ako o sadyang pinag kait talaga saakin iyon ng tadhana. Umalis parin sila.Tumakbo ako sa aking sasakyan at pinaharorut ito. Punong puno ng galit ang aking dibdib,gusto ko nalang mawala sa mundong ito. Wala naman mag hahanap saakin kung mawawala ako. Wala namang iiyak kapag namatay ako. Ang pangit pala maging mayaman,madami ka ngang pera,nakukuha mo lahat ng gusto mo pero iba parin. May kulang. Iyak lang ako ng iyak habang nag d-drive ,ibangga ko kaya itong kotse ko? Siguro naman uuwi na sila mommy dahil na aksidente na ako? Baka hindi na sila tumuloy sa meeting? Mas lalo ko pang binilisan ang pag tatakbo at habang hawak ko ang manibela nakita ko na may tumatawag saakin,ang mommy! Agad kong kinuha ang aking cellphone ngunit bago ko pa man iyon masagot,tumilapon na ang aking sasakyan. **-To be continue...** **[Closing thought]** *I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me by reading my articles, leaving comments, and upvoting them.And also, thank you to my generous sponsor, who always motivates me to write!

My online boyfriend has a secret **[December 3,2021|Friday]** I have an online boyfriend named Gabriel and we've been in a relationship for nine months. Gab is a handsome guy but that's not the reason why I was so in love with him. It was his attitude and his personality that made me so smitten by him. And just like any typical love stories, our relationship went into different obstacles. But despite of those inevitable circumstances, hindi naging hadlang ang mga 'yon para maghiwalay kami ni Gabriel. In fact, mas lalo pang tumibay ang pagsasama namin kahit malayo kami sa isa't- isa. "Thanks, God. Makikita na rin kita bukas, babe," wika ni Gabriel sa kaniyang chat. I can't help but to giggle while fidgeting my phone. Finally, makikita ko na rin si Gab in person, hanggang chat lang kasi ang communication namin. Ni-hindi ko pa nga siya nakaka-video call kahit isang beses man lang. But I don't mind that, at least magkikita na kami bukas. "I'd definitely wear my best dress, babe. Magpapaganda talaga ako sa 'yo," sagot ko sa chat. "You don't have to wear any fancy dress, babe. Your simplicity still radiates without those luxuries," aniya na siyang nagpa-init ng mga pisngi ko. Makaraan ang ilang oras ng aming harutan, natulog na kami ni Gab nang maaga para sa meet up namin bukas. — The day came at kinakabahan akong pumasok sa restaurant na sinasabi ni Gab. Pagkabukas ko pa lang ng pinto ng resto ay nakita ko agad ang malawak na ngiti niya. He's indeed a handsome guy in person. Without warning, he immediately hugged me. I hugged him back and I was shocked because I should've felt any sparks nor any fluttery sensations from his hugs but I felt none. Wala talaga akong naramdaman na kilig o excitement. Is it normal? And along our dinner date, Gab was busy talking about our plans and goals in the future but I couldn't find the joy and excitement in me. Usually pag nag-oopen up kasi si Gab tungkol sa future namin, todo kilig ako. Pero ngayon? Ba't wala akong maramdaman? Gab is the same guy I am chatting with in online pero ba't hindi ko siya feel? Ba't parang may kulang sa kaniya? Nang makauwi ako, I breathed out all my frustration and disappointment about Gab. Matutulog na sana ako nang bigla akong nakatanggap ng message. [One message received] From unknown number: This is Gab's bestfriend, Elle. Your boyfriend got a car accident at hindi na siya nakaabot ng ospital. He's dead on arrival. I'm sorry... Biglang umawang ang bibig ko matapos kong mabasa ang message. Para akong kakapusin ng hininga. Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng buong sistema ko. "No..." Napailing ako, hindi makapaniwala. — The day after, I visited Gab's burial and I was welcomed by his family and it was Kian, Gab's bestfriend who catered me all through out my visit. "Mabuti at dumating ka, Miss," panimula ni Kian atsaka ako ginawaran ng yakap. Biglang lumakas ang pagtibok ng puso ko matapos niya akong yakapin. And I couldn't deny that Kian is good-looking too. He's moreno, tall and has a well-toned body. "Masiyadong biglaan ang pagkawala ni Gabriel. Tangina, iniwan na ako ng bestfriend ko," sambit niya habang nakatingin sa kabaong ni Gab. Sumilip ako kay Gab na mahimbing na natutulog sa kabaong niya. Gusto kong umiyak pero hindi ko magawa. Gusto kong makaramdam ng sakit pero hindi ko kaya. Kasi ba't ako masasaktan sa pagkawala ng taong hindi ko naman ramdam? Gabriel is completely different in person. Parang 'di ko siya kilala. "Kain ka muna, Miss. Masiyadong mahaba ang biyahe mo para lang makarating dito," ani Kian na puno ng pag-alala. Biglang lumambot ang puso ko. The way Kian cared for me even if it was just our first meet up, 'di ko maiwasang makaramdam ng kilig which I find so inappropriate. Imagine, nakakaramdam ako ng kilig sa mismong lamay ng boyfriend ko? Ang sama-sama ko tangina! "Hatid na kita?" presinta ni Kian matapos kaming kumain. Hindi na ako tumanggi lalo't gabi na. Nang makarating kami sa tapat ng bahay ko ay nagulat na lamang ako sa sinabi ni Kian. "Maganda ka nga talaga," he smirked. Mas lalo pa akong kinabahan nang bigla siyang lumapit sa akin atsaka niya ako ginawaran ng halik sa pisngi. "I like you, Elle..." he confessed. And I'd never thought na 'yon na pala ang simula para mahulog kami ni Kian sa isa't-isa. We'd go out into unnumbered dates and months of dating, I answered Kian. I know this is totally inappropriate and disrespectful on Gab's part but I can't control my feelings. Damn, I am cheating to my boyfriend who's already dead. Worst, sa bestfriend niya pa. Nang malapit na ang second monthsary namin ni Kian, I decided to end our relationship kasi natauhan na ako. I knew that our relationship is just so wrong in so many ways. "Nakokonsensiya na ako, love," sabi ko kay Kian sa chat. "I think we should stop this." "What?" he replied. "Let's end our relationship, love. Huwag na nating ipilit na gawing tama ang isang mali. And I guess, it would be better if you find someone else. Don't worry, hahanapan kita ng babaeng magmamahal at mag-aalaga sa 'yo. For sure, that woman will treasure you." Iyak lamang ako ng iyak habang nagta-type. Maybe, it would be better if Kian divert himself to someone else. We just can't be together. Kaya naman ay nireto ko siya sa bestfriend ko. And I'm glad that the two of them clicked. After three years of being in a relationship, they are now planning to get married. Habang heto ako.. nasasaktan at nanghihinayang. After all these years, I still haven't move on and I'm still hurting but what makes me hurt more is what Kian said, "I guess it's the right time to tell you these, Elle." Huminga nang malalim si Kian habang nakatingin sa akin. "Diba wala kang nararamdaman kay Gab no'ng nag meet up kayo? It's because it wasn't him who's your online boyfriend, Elle. It was me. Ako 'yong lalakeng nakaka-chat mo. Ako 'yong lalakeng minahal mo ng siyam na buwan. Ako 'yong totoong boyfriend mo. Ginamit ko lang ang mukha ni Gab at inutusan ko siyang makipag meet up sa 'yo. Hindi ko sinabi sayo agad kasi napangunahan ako ng takot. Nagsinungaling ako sa 'yo, Elle. I'm really sorry.." Nanlalamig ang buong katawan ko, hindi makapaniwala. My heart sank deeper as he dropped his final words. "But Elle? Thank you because you let me go. Thank you kasi 'di natin pinilit. And as what you told me, your bestfriend did really care and love me, Elle. It made me the happiest man at hindi ito mangyayari kung hindi mo ako pinagtulakan sa iba." Tuluyan nang bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Tanga-tanga ko, ibinigay ko sa ibang babae ang lalaking dapat na pagmamay-ari ko! -End `I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me by reading my articles, leaving comments, and upvoting them.And also, thank you to my generous sponsor, who always motivates me to write!

Apply these to yourself! **[December 2,2021|Thursday]** Hello, everyone! It's December, which means Christmas and the New Year are coming. Are you excited about celebrating Christmas and the new year? Well, my mom got stressed because she couldn't decide what the design of her little Christmas tree was. She searched on Pinterest for an idea. I don't know why my mom is so obsessed with her Christmas tree design. Last year she didn't put any colorful material on Christmas, and now? She couldn't decide what the design was. So ridiculous **Anyway, let's go back to our main topic;** These five habits of life can change you into a successful person and make you feel the freedom that you want to achieve. I saw these words in the book that I've read and I want to give my thoughts about them. I read this book when I was a grade 8 student, and now I am turning grade 11 next year. I applied these five habits to myself and now I feel my life has a purpose and I feel freedom.  **Words motivation;** ***Save money every week*** ***Choose your friends wisely*** ***Be healthy and look after your body*** ***Don't wait to someone to love you*** ***Educate yourself*** These are the five motivations that will help you change your habits.I want to give my own thoughts about them. (Let's start!) 1.**Save money every week -** it's doesn't matter how much you save,just save. It's really important to save your money because we don't know what will happen next week, next month, or tomorrow. It doesn't matter how much money you save every day, it's important that you have a savings account or mini pigeon. They say "well prepared." We cannot say what will happen next. Just save it no matter what.  **2.Choose your friends wisely** - Choose friends who will stand by and guide you when you need it. Friends who put your interests before their own. In this era, we need to choose wisely because sometimes the friend that you choose is the one who betrays you. It's really important in life that you have a circle of friends, or even one person is enough, we need to know about their behavior first. It's pretty if we go in the judgemental way, because we see the true colors of their attitude and if they use a mask. 3.**Be healthy and look after your body** - Taking better care of our bodies means increased energy levels, and a better ability to accomplish our daily goals. It means better ability to concentrate on any given task, and that our tasks will take less time to complete. 4.**Don't wait for someone to love you** - Instead, love yourself first. For me, loving yourself is the most beautiful thing. We don't need the person who says to you that you are enough. You have to say it to yourself because no one else can help you except you. No one can stop you but yourself. Don't wait for someone to love you because you have yourself to love and you have your family to support you.  Just appreciate your everything then you'll be okay.  5.**Educate your self** - Read, read, and read. Just read a book, the bible, or whatever you want. But for me, if you want to educate yourself, read the Bible first. The Bible is the most powerful book and weapon that we have. Educating yourself is the best thing. Read the Bible and learn to accept all your flaws and mistakes. Give yourself time to read this book because it's the most powerful of all the books in this world.  - **[Closing thoughts]** ***Use these suggestions on yourself, and you'll be fine. But don't forget to put God at the center of your heart. God is our everything. God is our savior. Merry Christmas everyone!*** Please leave some comments about your own thoughts about these five motivational words. Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!  I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me by reading my articles, leaving comments, and upvoting them.And also, thank you to my generous sponsor, who always motivates me to write!

Don't just through it. Grow through it. **[November 30,2021|Tuesday]** Some of us are struggling with the hardships of life. Sometimes we say to ourselves, "*I can't. I'm tired*. "*Why are we born to be poor?* " "*Why are others born into a rich life*?" Sometimes we think like that, right? Sometimes we want to buy things that we want, but we remember that we have to think first about our food. I admit that sometimes I want to give up because I'm really tired of fighting hardships in life. Sometimes when I hear my mom say, "***I am so stressed, I don't really know what to do. I'm tired.*** " I started to cry because I wanted to help my parents, but how? I'm still a minor.  I was writing a new story when I remembered the words that motivate me always. These powerful words changed my mind into a dreamer and gave me positive thoughts. If sometimes I feel empty, I'll go to my gallery to read these powerful words, and right after that, I'm okay. I feel worthy again. I'm feeling motivated again.  *You wouldn't have strength and character. Without negative people, you might not appreciate the positive people in your life. Without that rejection or breakup, you might not have been guided to something better. Without the person saying you couldn't do it, you might not have the motivation to do it. Without sadness and depression, you might lack the compassion and care you have today. Without a painful ending, you may not have been led to this great new beginning.* *There is a reason and a purpose for everything, and a true blessing in everything if you can open your eyes to see it and open your heart to know it. Don't ask why me. Don't say I didn't deserve this. Inquire as to how I can put this to use.How can this make us stronger? Better, wiser? Use the pain in your life to fuel you whenever you need to go. Use the mess in your life as a blessing to take you someplace better. Have faith and trust in the fact that some endings are sent to make way for new beginnings. It might not feel great at the time, but keep your head up and be open to the fact that you deserve better.* *If you keep believing, you'll get better. Be open to the fact that you can't see the rest of the puzzle just yet,but trust it will be a masterpiece. All of us experience pain and hard times,only some of us use the pain to grow. Don't just go through it. Grow through it. It will make you better if you can find the courage inside you to keep going. Come out the other side of your pain stronger better and wiser. Your greatest life can not be lived without the strength that comes from your struggles. Your best life cannot be lived without great challenge.* *Trust me, this is a part of life. Find the purpose of the pain. Be one of the few who see the message in the mess. Be one of the few who gain strength through struggle. Who sees the blessing in the lesson? Learn to endure the pain you felt before. That is the only way we can learn.*  **[Note]** Hello, everyone! It's December first! My November is going well, but on this platform, I have a lot of absences because of busyness, laziness, and my brain cells sometimes feeling empty. I hope this month is going well for you and that this coming Christmas will be enjoyable for you. And thank God, because I reached my 3-month mark on this platform. I can't believe it. I think one of my goals for November has not been reached. I'm a little bit sad because I want to reach them but my school work didn't want to allow me to do it,lol! **I just want to say thank you to all the aspiring authors and readers on this platform.

I'm proud of myself! **[November 29,2021|Monday]** Hello, everyone! How's your day? Yesterday I didn't publish an article because of our retrieval day. I need to finish all the activities and performance tasks that need to be passed in our school. I was very stressed because I had three subjects to do and I needed to write two essays in English and Filipino. I need to answer the math questions and give a reflection on them.  I want to complain to my teacher about the deadline for our activities because we are not robots. We have bodies that get tired, we have health needs that need to be taken care of. Sometimes I ask myself if I'm strong enough to fight through hardships in life, because sometimes I want to give up. I want to give up, but how? I need to be successful in life for my family and myself.  While I was doing my module, I was thinking about how it felt to be rich. Is it really enjoyable? Happy? Because you buy what you want, you eat what you want. I always told myself that no matter how good or bad life was, I should always thank God for the blessings he bestowed upon us. I always cry in the night because I always say, "I don't know what to do" or "why I was born poor." I hate myself because I'm not strong enough to fight through the hardship that I felt today.  Today I saw my grades. All my efforts are resulting in high grades that I didn't expect. All of my tears, which were caused by a mental breakdown, have been transformed into happiness and motivation. God is good!  I don't know how I feel today. My mom is super happy, and I hope my grandma is too. They're my motivation.I don't expect too much from my grades. I expected to get 85 because in the other activities I did not really focus. But, I admit, my expectations were unrealistically high. I was worried before because I didn't focus on my activities. I focused on this platform. Sometimes I forget to write a solution in math, sometimes I forget to pass the quizzes on time. My grade in Filipino is *95*. I expected 80 or 84 because sometimes I didn't attend on Zoom. And I am always late passing my quizzes on their website. And I already prefer myself to my mother if she gets angry if my grades are 84 or below. Oww thank God!  My math is *98*. This is too much, right? I almost cried when I saw my grade in math because I didn't expect to get a 98! This is my first time because I was in grade 9 last year and my final grade in math was only 92. I am not dreaming, right? This is the result of my hard work! My grade in science is *92*. This is the subject I hate the most. Sometimes I don't really understand the lessons. I need to do research on the internet even though our teacher already discussed it. But I'm still happy because I did it. In English, I got *97*. After so many many years, I achieved my goal grade. In Esp and Ap, I got *93* and *94*. In M.A.P.E.H., the average score of four subjects is *96*. And the last one, the T.L.E (ict) subject, I got a *95*. Thank God! I almost jumped out of bed because of the happiness I felt. I hope I remain high on all of these until fourth grading. After one hour of happiness and a good mood, I'll go back to my study table to answer my modules and get stressed again. I hope my grandma is happy right now because of the result of my grades. She's always motivated me and always asks me if I'm already tired of what I'm doing. But now no one's asking me if I'm tired. I have time for my modules and I have time to do the chores around the house. Time management is my secret to always completing all of my tasks. Time management is really important to me.  ***Congratss self I'm so proud of you!*** `Thank you so much for all of your support and thank you for giving me the motivation to stay here. Thank you so much to my commentors andupvoting and to my generous sponsor! Many many thanks to all of you! May God bless you! Stay safe, and stay healthy!

We were on the verge of death! **[November 26,2021|Friday]** Hello, everyone! Yesterday I published a recommendation of books that I've read. Now I want to tell everyone my experience when my life was on the edge of death. At that time, I would not prefer to say goodbye on this earth. But I'm very thankful to God because he gave me another chance to survive that disaster. He didn't leave me. When I survived with my family, I went to church even though my clothes were full of water and my body was shaking from nervousness.  For Christmas and New Year 2017, my family decided to go to Cavite for vacation and celebrate Christmas and New Year with my other relatives. We came from Bicol. We need to travel for 12 hours to get to Cavite. I was happy because, for the first time, our family was complete at Christmas and New Year. We talked about our experiences in Bicol, and sometimes we talked about our relationship with my auntie. My cellphone has almost full storage because of a lot of pictures of my family and food on the table.  I posted it on my social media accounts with the caption "Finally, for the first time, my family has completed!" And some people left comments on my post, which I thanked. January 7, 2018, the day when we almost died because of strong sea waves, On January 6, when we left the house in Cavite, we traveled for almost 13 hours before reaching the Tamban port. We needed to take a big boat to get to the island where we lived. The boat was for 25 people, and I was with nine members of my family. There were five of us and five adults, including my grandmother and grandfather. The first hour of riding in the boat was so smooth, but when we reached the middle of the sea the waves is super strong and the rain and air is so strong too.  The boat seemed to be leaping into the sea. At first, our other companions shouted because they thought that it was fun, but when the rain and wind got stronger, the waves became even stronger. Our boat was like a dance with the big waves. That time, I hugged my bag and tablet because the water in the sea was coming into our boat. I was very nervous because my younger cousin was already vomit because of the strong waves and cold wind. I don't know what to do. I touch my grandma's hand to calm myself. I heard from the controller of the boat that the water in the sea is coming into our boat and the controller machine in the boat has already lustraded. My grandma got panicky because if we didn't reach the island, we couldn't survive these big waves. I was thinking at that time that if we couldn't survive, my parents would miss me or I couldn't pursue my dreams. I try to calm myself. I play a game or watch some downloaded movies on my table while I was on my tablet I heard the conversation between my father and uncle. My father:*" I think this boat didn't survive these big waves. What should we do? "* Uncle*:" We need to jump off this boat before we sank in."* My father: *"what? We have a child on this boat, and the cold water is killing them if we jump off."* Uncle:*"We have to choose what we will do. We cannot drown without doing anything."* I stopped playing games because I wasn't focused. I focused on the strong waves and the boat that we rode. I saw my grandma crying at the side of my position. I don't want to cry because if I did, my other cousin would have cried too. Even though I was afraid of what was happening, I remained calm. I prayed to God that if we wouldn't survive, I'm very thankful that he gave me this happy family. I prayed to God that if we couldn't survive, I'd be willing to die, but not but not my family.When the controller shouted that we needed to balance the boat, I started to panic because I saw that the edge of the boat was cracked and the water was coming into the boat. My grandma started to shout, "God, help us!" I try not to cry as tears as well as hers fall from her eyes. I sat on the side of the window and talked to God. I prayed and prayed until we reached the island. I am very thankful. When we left the boat, I ran into the church and prayed for another chance in life that God gave us. I was dumbfounded when I came home. I could not believe that God had saved us from danger. But my tablet can no longer survive because it fell into the sea. I didn’t cry over that because all I knew was that my family and I survived because of God.  - **[Note]** **I am very thankful because until now I was alive with my family. Everyday, I'll thank God for saving us and giving us another chance to live in this world. Because of the incident, my family decided to celebrate every Christmas in Bicol, and my cousin had trauma from the incident we experienced before.**  *Thank you for continuously supporting me and my articles by giving comments and upvotes.
