How I See The Word "Success"
We all want to succeed in life. Of course, even the criminal ones still dream to succeed in life. There is no exceptions for this and this is what every single one of us dream in life. You cannot ask someone and expect for them to say **"No, I don't want to succeed in life."**
But the question is, what is success and how it feels like to succeed or even become successful? Have you ever thought about this in your life or in every single minute?
For some people, success is when they gain their career titles after they have studied in college. Some when their social income improved in life and they become an example to preach for the little ones that you, one day should be like them and copy their paths in life.
But **Success** is not just about those things. You have to stop saying that successful people are the ones who get their degree in life and become stable in job. They may achieved those things but the question is, are they now happy? They have the **car, the mansion, the abundant food, the fancy clothes** but is it enough to make them happy? Of course, it is not.
Success is when you find your purpose in this life. Success is what only you can define to yourself and not the people around you because probably they are only watching at your attainment in life only but not in your inner side. It's about making difference in this world despite everyone tells you to do the same. **Success is when you do the things you love in this world where you felt most alive.** Success is not define on your age. Success is not define on the time. Success is cannot be measured by someone. Most of all, success is never a competition in life.
If you have goals in life and you want to achieve them, you can do it! You just have to believe in yourself because you are the only one who can make it for yourself. May these steps enlighten and guide you to the true success in life:
Always think on the positive side
Have you think about not being good enough? The truth is I also do. Like in fact, most of the time I feel not doing good enough and I won't make it because a lot of impossibilities are everywhere. I told to myself that I will make it even no one is supporting me in this path. I need to be positive that I can make it because it's the only best weapon I can used towards the path.
Change your wrong perspective
I remember thinking that people doesn't like me. In most of the time, I used to not talk because I think they will judge me but I was wrong. If I won't talk to them we will have more misunderstandings so it's best if you tell what you think for them to know what's running in your mind. Communication is important and without it, there will be a lot of misconceptions.
Learn to enjoy
This one is what I keep telling myself. I always overthink and I always act like I carry the whole world. I know, in this world I'm not alone in facing a lot of things so I have to enjoy along the way. Life is short so learn to at least have fun and enjoy. I tell myself to smile and laugh at happy times and put the happy vibes anywhere. It's not fake happy but rather trying your best to become happy.
Whoever you are reading this, may your **dreams** come true in life and may you find the meaning of success. I wrote this article because I always think about not enough in life and about being a failure. I cannot open up this so I decided to write an article about the meaning of success and about how you can achieve it if you want to. Life is difficult but I hope we will all get through this. May we achieve the real **happiness** in life because that is the most important thing in this world.
Do You Think of The Foods You Eat?
Are you aware of the food that you are eating? What kind of foods do you always consumed? Do you check their nutrients and benefits?
We are living in a modern world where everything was improved for a better life living. Just like the food for us humans, they are improved so that we will have something to eat always and quick. We often consumed process foods due to busy life and to cope up with busy life. They made our lives easier while filling our stomach while working on. How much processed meat do you consume? Does the hassle was lessen because of them? Probably the answer is Yes.
Some of the **Processed meat** that we are consuming is bacon, sausage, hotdogs, pepperoni, salted or smoked beef and meat. Those comes with preservatives to lengthen the capacity and shelf life of foods in a very long time. It was founds in the studies that consuming at least 50 grams of any processed meat will increase the chances of you getting cancer. If you are wondering how they end up with cancer it is because they are added with preservatives as well as nitrite.
Another explanation for it is that processed meat are cooked in a very high temperatures. Science found that they can cause some changes in your **DNA** which later on can caused **cancer.** Eating with fried or barbecued meat or streetfoods can caused **pancreatic or prostate cancer.**
Studies found that marinating street foods before cooking it may lessen the carcinogens to form. Another good that can also caused cancers are the red meat. Yes, you heard it right the red meat. Red meats are those beef, pork, veal, lamb including the meat of goats. Alcohol on the other side, can caused and increase your chances of getting cancers as well. When taking alcohol it produces acetaldehyde that can alter our DNA that later on can caused cancer. People who consumed higher amount of alcohol can increase the chances of getting the following: **Esophageal, liver, breast and colorectal cancer.**
Alcohol can damage the lining of the mouth and throat. They can also affect the hormones of our body that can cause breast cancer.
All the risk of having cancer depends on your consumption and daily lifestyle. It depends on the carcinogenic foods that we are ingesting in our body. It depends on how much amount we eat and how long we have been eating that food. All these factors can speed up the chances of getting cancers.
But it's never too late yet, as long as we are breathing there is always a chance to change for a better. You can change your habit into healthy habit only if you allow yourself to. Everything is your choice thus it was your choice to change your habit while it's not late yet. You can switch into healthy foods and later harvest the benefits of what you are eating. These are the foods that will keep you away from getting cancer and your body will be a lot thankful to you.

Carrots can also lessen the chances of getting cancer while beans that are rich in fiber can protect you from getting colorectal cancer. Try also eating berries now, they are high in anthocyanins are antioxidants to keep you away from getting any risk of cancer. Cinnamon also has properties that decrease the chances of getting tumor. Fatty fish who are rich in Omega 3 is not only good for the health but can also decrease the chances of getting cancer as well.
Why You Should Invest More In Time Rather Than Money
Sometimes we are too busy in life making plans and decisions to reach our goals that we forgot to enjoy every little moments and every precious time in our lives. Everyday people are pressured to do what they should do and reach the deadlines. Some people working overtime and rarely has time to spend for their family and friends. The truth is life is full of demand and work. We strive to meet requirements and do best in our work or in our education.
It is found out that the people who are goal oriented and focus on meeting their deadlines are sometimes often less happy about their life. We know we need to suffer for the success we want later on but when you dedicate your whole time in this only you are most likely to get anxious and prone to any depression. People tend to forget giving time to interact and relax for a while because they think that if they do then they will wasted the chance to do something on time. You have to stop pressuring yourself from thinking of having higher income on time when you find it difficult to achieve. **As our time starts to become more financially valuable, we also view our time as being increasingly scarce.**
The truth is people who value more time rather than money are the happiest. In a day, we spend a great deal of thinking about money. The truth is we all worry about it. What would be tomorrow, where are you to get the money to pay all your bills and sometimes it stressed you out when you think cannot be able to pay it. Yes, in practical we all do think about money to pay necessity. It is what life keeps going on.
Being able to pay our necessities are enough. We don't have to let our lives evolved in money only.
One big question for you, what would you rather have, more time or money?
Some people chose money because of practicality. Yes, you need money and I need to. We all need it to survived the world. But the thing to think about is when you only spend your life making money and spending money until you die.
Think about how short life is. Time is more expensive and hard to turn back or should we say we can't turn back anymore. Imagine the times you choses to ignore because you just chose to spend and make money for your whole life, you would feel like something was lacking in your whole life. The feeling of belongingness, the feeling of happiness and the feeling living a true life in this world.
Some people invest more on money rather than on time. They feel like money so what going to bring them everything they need in life. Yes sure money can provide you with everything you need in this world but not the memories the time can give you. You just cannot pay someone to create memories you want because you need time to create it. The truth is time is the real investment and we the investor need to seized every moment of it. It's like making the best out of your life while you are still breathing. If it were a movie, you are the actor and you have to enjoy your role while the movie still exists.
You can compute your money but not your time in this world. Money gives you happiness but time gives you memories that even in the grave remains. People who seems to own big amount of money are less likely to be satisfied in life and doesn't seems to appreciate every little things around. The truth is when you decided to live a simple life that's how you will see the beauty of the world that your money cannot create for you. We need money for survival but we need time to fully live in this world.
How To Have A Better Digestion
Today I'm going I'm going to talk about the foods that are good for our digestion. I decided to come up with this kind of article after I experienced poor digestion and it affected me so much and that is why I realized that I should be careful in everything that I eat. I should not consumed too much processed foods as those foods will not bring any good in you as years will passes by.
We are all familiar with constipation and we all have times in our lives where we experienced it and it's very unlucky if it hits you in the times you needed to go out or had some important occasions to attend. It would be awkward and difficult to interact as your stomach is upset with you. We know that it is because of the foods that we eat which gives us an upset stomach. Sometimes it is our lifestyle that affect how our digestion works properly. The severe one would lead into **Chronic idiopathic constipation** where your bowel movements are affected. It affects your physical interaction and other activities in life. No one wants it to happen in those special times in their lives. Imagine you don't have the courage to eat your favorite foods and go hang out with your friends. This idea is really bad and the feeling is never been good at all. But the good thing about this kind of thing is that you can still relieve it meaning you can still find ways to stop and bring your life in a good way again!
Of course the first thing we need to know and should always know is to **Drink water always.** It is very important and we are required to drink at least 8 glasses of water to stay hydrated all the day. But in some situations, it is not good to drink too sugary carbonated drinks as they will most likely to worsen the constipation and your bowel movement will become more irritated so it's no doubt that water is the real winner after all. If you are still not satisfied, lacking enough in water will make you dehydrated thus it will give you constipation espescially when you overeating. So think the best and bring water wherever you go!
Don't also forget to eat more fiber. Yes you heard it right the **Fiber.**
Vegetables are rich in fiber including wheat bran as well as whole grains. These are foods that are easily digested in our body system. Not only fibers but adding exercise is important in your routine to relieve constipation. Exercising can help your digestive system work properly but take note you don't have to do heavy exercises. This can worsen some situations. Take it easy and lighter. Just walking, swimming or cycling is very enough kind of exercise not only to your digestive system but to your whole body as well.
Another thing to consider is to take some **Probiotics.** If you do not know about the purpose of Probiotics or what they are made of, well they are **Lactobacillus** or live bacteria that helps improve the guts. You could get some Probiotics from eating Kimchi, Yogurt and Sauerkraut.
Avoid **Dairy** consumption as this will worsen the bowel movement. Consuming too much lactose will goes into the large intestines of our body thus constipation will worsen. We know that **calcium** is important for the bones strengthening but those are not only found in milk, they can also be found in almonds, soybeans, leafy greens, broccoli, sesame seeds and tofu!
A happy digestion is a happy life. Sometimes they can be confusing and sometimes they can be disappointing to our daily lives routine espescially when it immediately strikes. We need to change into healthy eating habits so that we won't have regrets later on. Learn to quite binge eating or overeating espescially at night. People sometimes don't focus on how much they chew their food espescially when they are on the go or very busy. The truth is the more your chew your food, the better it will be broken properly and down in your digestive tract.
Being Alone Doesn't Mean You're Lonely
Being alone doesn't mean you are lonely and sometimes solitude is better than sharing it with anyone. Being alone has a lot of positive effects that you don't even know. Sometimes our life gets busy and we have no time for any drama or to everything and all we want to do at home is peace and solitude. Sometimes we need to be alone to reflect, to unwind our thoughts and start being creative in your own pace.
However, being alone will only turns into loneliness once you searched for social and emotional needs from someone. If these are not achieve then you become so lonely. It is when you are not getting used of being alone. Sometimes it is called as social loneliness when you feel like you don't belong and you did not get support from friends, family or your peers. You felt the emotional loneliness due to lack of support or maybe you have been longing for a long time partner. Sometimes it leads to despair in life.
How to know you are being lonely when you are alone?
When you feel like you are so empty and you have no motivation daily then you are totally lonely. You have to engaged in physical interactions in order not to get too much from loneliness. When you feel like you are procrastinating a lot and a feeling of restlessness. This will cut off the thing you wanted to do. Sometimes you get insomnia at night and being exhausted for no reason. Detaching from the other people and consuming too much alcohol.
You don't have to let this things pass you by or else you will reach the point of being helpless. Sometimes the things you are watching are what causing you loneliness. Think about the things you read and watch at home. Chose to watch ones that relieved your stress away. Maybe you are thinking about your future when you are alone, it is okay to think about that but remember you have to live the moment. The future is uncertain and we cannot predict that is why it looks scary when we think about it but you have to lessen your thoughts regarding it. Instead of that, why don't you develop your skills which you think you can enhance. This will stop you from thinking too much and ended up being lonely.
Maybe you are spending too much time in social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where people are comparing their lives to others. Remember you don't have to compare and envy their lives here, used it instead to build connections to the meaningful ones. Do not be lonely, you can help the others who is feeling the same with you. Loneliness is not forever and you can washed it away.
Sometimes you just have to disconnect and enjoy your own company.
Now let's look at the good and positive side of being alone. Being alone doesn't mean you are anti-social. Being alone gives you the time to recharge more energy. Sometimes we need to stop pleasing the others who are draining out our energy. Stop trying our hardest to make them laugh, understand them and read their emotions. All these things won't be beneficial to you and there is no feeling of positive recharge here.
Sometimes your mind is messed up and a lot of people are messing it up then you have to be alone in order to reflect. You have to do self reflection. Have a moment to sit down and reflect on your own life.
Being alone gives you a good perspectives towards life. You understand yourself way better and you learn to regulate your emotions. You will also start to enjoy things doing alone and becominv productive without expecting someone else. Most of all you are and independent person who doesn't need to rely to someone else just to get your life fixed and going on.
Lack of Sleep Causes
Sometimes in our lives we find it difficult to sleep properly and that happens more occasionally. We know and called it as an insomnia and it affects more of adults. It keeps you awake in the whole night no matter how much you wanted to sleep because you felt so tired. If this frequently happens then you will experience a lot of excessive sleepiness during daytime which can affects your day to day performance. Sometimes it can lead to accidents. One thing that insomnia can hit is your health.
If you are wondering what causes you insomnia then these are the common factors you need to check: maybe you are too stress and you don't have right schedule so you sleep in what time you can, so of course this will make you difficult to fall asleep as your body doesn't have proper time for sleeping schedule. Number two, maybe you are sleeping too late or in the past midnight already and then will make you even harder to fall asleep as you keep your system whole time awake. Number three, maybe if you anxiety and this keeps you awake all night or a depression that doesn't make you sleep. All these factors can lead into insomnia.
There are short term insomnia and chronic insomnia. The chronic insomnia last for three months or maybe even more while short term happens only for a short period of time only and you can still change your habit to have the proper sleeping quality back again.
One thing that is number one causing insomnia is the poor sleeping quality where you don't sleep on the proper time and this will lead into health problems. Insomnia has cause and effect. Another thing to be considered is the hyperarousal that can affect both mental and physical health.
We need to know that the stress make it hard for us to fall asleep. Maybe we are stress from schools activities, our workplace, and other social relationships. Sometimes this situations can cause traumatic effect that can lead to Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder or PTSD.
If you do not know, our body is like a clock or also known as the circadian rhythm where our body follows the day and night pattern. So whatever the time you usually sleep, our body will follow up but if you have irregular sleep schedule then you will experience insomnia. Two factors are jet lag and shift work. Jet lag happens when your body cannot adjust to a new timezone and shift works where you are adjusted to night shifts and you have to sleep at daytime. These can cause you insomnia.
Our daily habits affect our overall sleep quality and as we are adult or getting adults, we tend to experience the lack quality of sleep. Like playing games overnight can make your brain very active and this will make you difficult to sleep. Napping in the afternoon will not make you sleepy at evening anymore. Sleeping in different schedule can confuse your body.
Other things to look for the causes of insomnia is your diet. Maybe you like drinking caffeine before sleeping. Caffeine keepu your system awake for a long hours as well as the nicotine. Maybe you are drinking alcohol that breaks your sleep pattern. Maybe you are eating heavy and overload meals as well as very spicy foods can trigger to your proper sleep. These will make your digestive system having hard time digesting foods.
Sometimes insomnia can be the results of medication, maybe you are taking antidepressants and aloy of types of medications. Maybe for high blood pressure, anti-asthma medications. It can make you drowsy and thus break your proper sleeping schedule. Sleep is important to everyone of us and we need it to become productive and face a good day ahead. We need to keep on track of this and find better solutions to restore the proper sleeping balance. A good sleep will make a day brighter and productive.
Good Bye 2020
This year ends like a mystery or a sort of joke. I did not expected it to become like these. Neither any of you expected that 2020 is a year of a lot of bad things happenings espescially the pandemic. My mental health wasn't good after the pandemic hits and I feel so anxious more than before compared on the days were there is no pandemic yet. I feel more than introverted and I feel that I don't have social in my whole life. Seriously, that is what I feel that I am so isolated and I don't simply belong anywhere. I don't have the courage to go out from the house because I was getting used of staying indoors and it feels so strange for me to go out. I feel conscious and I'm not getting used anymore of seeing different people in the places. Guess I'm becoming anti-social and I am afraid of seeing the people I know before because I don't know how to approach them or how should I act in front of them. Should I ask them how their day was or they are in this pandemic but I cannot speak well I feel like my tongue cannot move. I am feeling nervous and I feel like if I see the people I know before maybe I should hide from where I can easily hide so that I can hide all the shyness I feel.
This year was different and a weird one. I admit a lot of things are different and there are no interactions and sometimes you can say maybe I should start talking to myself then. Maybe I should laugh at my own jokes then. This year feels like nothing to me and I cannot feel the months that passes by and I know that is because there are no so much memorable memories so you wouldn't feel the presence of months and days. In my whole life, this is the only year that doesn't feel like a year at all and it feels like a fastforward movie that I found so boring. But all along, I am thankful for the good health of my family espescially I know there are people suffering from the virus and I am very glad we are not infected so I'm beyond thankful for. I am happy for the health of my whole family and I can say we survived this year.
A lot of people suffering financially and we are one of those and it triggered during the pandemic so we are hoping for government assistance for everyone to at least help everyone including us in the hard times. But all in all, I'm glad we can still have the daily meal and that is enough to be thankful for in this whole year. So I really have a question, how does 2020 end? I actually cannot feel the year of 2020. It is funny to say that 2020 feels like a bad day and not a year. I don't the dates and the day but all I knew was that there is day and night. Feels like we're going back to prehistoric times where you will only notice the day and night and nothing more.
But even though like that, I'm trying to become productive because I don't want year to end like doing nothing. I tried learning new things like learning a new language. I don't find it tiring because I love to learn a new language so I am go for it. I bought myself books for me to have something to read and I was happy for that and soon I'll gonna build my own bookshelf. I wish 2021 would be a good for everyone of us and I'm wish all of you a success and happy life. Whatever may happen, never forget to smile and be happy.
I know you all have wishes so I am wishing you all to achieve it. One day you will achieve your dreams, it may not just be instant but take it little by little and you will reach your destination. I know you already marked 2020 as worst or whatever you named it but the important thing is we get through it alive and kicking. Seriously, we are lucky to celebrate 2021 alive so come on lit your fireworks and face 2021 with a bright smile because 2021 wouldn't like to be greeted with a pout in face.
In Ways of Finding Peace of Mind
You know you have a peace of mind when you are in control of everything and you are not feeling disturbed and not anxious about everything. The truth is we cannot guarantee and assure that we will have peace of mind all the time because every situation changes and we have no control of what will happen. Finding peace of mind is very important, you may not have it but looking for ways to achieve it is the best way for you to maintain the equilibrium state of mind. This is like beating the stress everyday that you are facing in your life and is the main component to keep your life at pace. Peace of mind is connected to being happy and you can chose to be happy all the time but not with a twisted and problematic mind. It keeps you out of everything and out of control by your thoughts.
Life is not always full of sunshine, sometimes we encounter darkness and that is part of living in this world. You can take it away and chose to be happy instead. It's not easy but the consistency is the best key. Be productive and creative to boost your mood. Chose to find happiness and inner peace in different ways.
If you haven't tried it yet, meditation helps you to achieve peace of mind. You could do it in the beach where the ocean waves gives you fresh air and start meditating here. At least 20 minutes of meditation will do. By doing it every day you will notice a change by your life. It is like unwinding all the hidden thoughts you have that you weren't able to express or voice out.
Having peace of mind keeps your spirit young and jolly. Do not dissolved yourself in constant problems, slow down sometimes and maybe you are driving too fast. Yes we cannot deny the truth that our surroundings might be the caused of anxiety or the people around us or everything we can see that is not good for our mental health. Nobody wants to live a twisted mind. Everyone is looking for ways to overcome everything and if you try harder you will achieve peace of mind.
They say peace of mind is sense of tranquility and confidence. Our mental thinking is balance. We are in control of everything. It's hard to live trouble free life and everyday we face different battle in our lives. Everyone has different reactions and coping ways.
You achieve peace of mind by thinking positive. Just be positive as much as you can. We know that life can be stressful and restless but we cannot avoid it because that's life. Peace of mind starts the way you think. If you think of being miserable then for sure you won't get peace of mind. Sometimes being negative triggers a lot of anxieties. Do not always look at negative side, try to look at the bright side and there you will see that there's still a chance.
Do you know that reading a book can give you peace of mind? Yes it is not a joke. Instead of scrolling in your social media and get anxious and insecure by people flexing anything, why don't you chose to turn pages where you will concentrate and focus on the story you are going to enter. Books are helpful and try it for yourself and let the magic happens.
One of the reasons why you're not having peace of mind is maybe because of your high expectations. Not everything you planned will go the way you wanted it to flow, some things changed for many reasons and you cannot avoid it. When our expectations wasn't meet of course we will be disappointed and that's how our peace of mind twisted. We need to lower down expectations and think about consequences because not everything will go in you own flow itself.
Remember that things does not always happen the way you want. Learn to think for alternative and take it slowly by slowly. Give yourself time and do not rush everything. You cannot just fast forward just like in the movies if you want to reach the end. Stop pressuring yourself and you are the one that is responsible for this. It takes so much effort and patience. If you want peace of mind then you need effort in everything you do and most of all, patience.

Achieving All Our Dreams in Life
We all have dreams in life. No matter who you are or even the criminal ones has dreams to achieved someday. They say that what makes our living here in the world meaningful I our dreams. Anyone can dream and no can stop every person to believe and achieve their dreams. But sometimes we are scared that our dreams will remained as a dream only buy you don't have to always think about that. There are many ways for you to achieve it no matter how impossible the situation is or no matter how unfortunate you are in this world.
First of all, you have to be confident and positive. That is what we are always told of everytime we tried something new and we cannot deny the pressure it has but you have to be confident that you will achieve it and you have to put your mind in positive. It's hard to start with a negative mind. You have to remember this is the most important thing in reaching your dreams. Positive thoughts will lead you to succes and it isn't a joke. Learn to also appreciate little things around the world, do not focus on the big things.
You have to visualize your dreams. You have to know what you wanted to be and where you wanted to be. It's not like daydreaming but it is thinking about your visions about your dreams. Think about opportunities you can achieve in life. You can write down everything from your journal so that you have something to look for whenever you feel like your dreams aren't important as what you thought before. This will make your dreams full of sense.
Learn to take every step with fun. Do not be so so very serious all the time because life is short only. It is true that we had to work hard enough in order to achieve our dreams but that doesn't mean you have to exclude yourself from all the fun. If you are happy with what you are doing then you can surely achieve your dreams. Look on the things that makes you happy and give you goodness. You don't need to become very serious in this life. Make fun and reach your dreams.
Take your plans little by little. No one started to become successful in a big way, it all started by little steps. You can write them down into your journal so that you can slow down and achieve what you wanted. Just take little steps day by day and one day it will create a huge ripple.
Don't let the thoughts of the other people affect you. Some may not believe with you but you don't have to prove them. They might say you cannot do it but it doesn't matter because you are the one holding your own life. Just believe in yourself that you can achieve it.
Learn to find and get loving support from the people who valued you. Seeing and having someone supportinh your dreams will make you most likely to achieve your dreams because they pushed you to believe in yourself that you can. Look for the people who wouldn't bring you down but instead the ones who will lift you up. Seriously, those people wanted to see you reach your dreams and you need them by your side.
Sometimes our dreams are risk taking. Sometime you will whether it's a right thing to achieve or you are just mistaken about it. Life is always up and down. You have to listen to your heart and believe in your capabilities that will knock some of the opportunities in life.
May we all reach our dreams in this 2021. A dream begins in our heart and mind that gives meaning to our life. No one can tell you whether you can achieve it or not. It is who yourself can do it. Just enjoy the long ride of this life, do not take everything so serious in your lifetime. Remember you only live once and once is enough if you are happy and living meaningful.
What I Can Remember This Christmas
While I am waiting for the Christmas, I wrote down all the things I remember that happened this year. It's like recalling and thinking about all the good and bad things this year. Life is not about rainbows and butterflies always in short life is not perfect. It has flaws, it has its own mistakes and it is simply it is. I just cannot believe that this year would be different as you see, Covid-19 almost changed everything but I did not take that as negative one and a way to think that life is hopeless. I know that life still has bright sides, only if you look at it. For people who chose to refuse and not look at it, they woud never see the good side of life which someone hits me in my part.
So way back in writing what I can remember this year, I was hanged. I cannot remember all of them or only a little bit is fresh to my mind. Maybe because there is no so much to recall this year since we are in quarantine and we stayed indoors so much that we cannot say there are "memories." The last time it was fresher to me is the memory I had with my classmates when we were having fun and overtime parties, it was hell lit and who couldn't remember it, it was memorable so of course it has a long lasting memory in my mind. It was March the last time I can say my life is active and coloful, simply because I met my friends and classmates and constant memories are added everyday so what you gonna feel is, it's a memorable and unforgettable day.
But in this quarantine, months are like days to me honestly. I cannot even believed that next year is just like gonna be a next week of today and funny right. Well it happens to so many which I don't fear about feeling towards myself that months aren't months for me. To add the things that add me joy even in this new normal, well it's my cats. I loved to hugged them and kissed them but some dog lovers won't relate simply because they're not into cats and I respect it. I love cats ever since I was young so I can say it's in my personality and in my soul to take care of them and love them all. I have five of them but one died so it was sounds devastated knowing that cat won't make it for Christmas, so I'm really sad for the other cat I had lost. The cat that I had long time ago doesn't want to go home anymore so I am left with three only and this three and I am taking care of them not to lose them anymore. It's hard to lose pets, they are your companions and they're part of your life so you can call them your family because they are. I bought them collars as a gift for Christmas and I hope my cats would like and that they wouldn't destroy it just because they're not used of it as what happens before when I put a tie to their neck or maybe the tie doesn't sound and feel pretty good for them so yeah can't help with it.
Honestly my quarantine life is boring like same cycle everyday at home and facing the screen and phone. I even quit social media because I feel like I'm not doing good enough or that I am sick of people ranting anywhere, complaining everywhere and so on. So what I did I focus on building my hobbies. At least I had something good that I did. Seriously, I took quarantine as the opportunity to be productive and it's hard to set goals that time. Procrastiantion and anxiety, they ate my enemies and make me hard to do what I wanted to do.
So this Christmas, I wanted to be honest that my emotions and mental health weren't good these quarantine and I felt proud opening it up and cheers to myself for believing that it's just a phase and it won't last. Well, I have so many things to look forward when the pandemic is over and when our lives and everything will go back to normal. It means we need to face and fight for the real life and pandemic has made everything sounds like virtual. Like the education, it was virtual and it's hard to learn on screen. I was convinced that physical interaction are a lot better and a whole different one that conducting online classes. Seriously it made a great difference and change. Well, when life will go back to normal, I wanted to be a better and adaptable person this time. It's not bad to change yourself a little bit and see it in a better way, I mean aren't you impressed to see yourself doing good and improving when no was watching because for me it's a great achievement already.
How to Save and Budget this Christmas
Since Christmas is coming and we are in the midst of pandemic, saving and budgeting is very important this time and season. Holiday is the season of draining your wallet but you don't have to spend so much just to have a happy holiday. They say that as we grow older, the way we feel and perceived Christmas changed. Maybe your feelings of cheer and Goodwill changed but still we can celebrate Christmas. Giving gifts is pleasing and wonderful but sometimes we are on a tight budget. But we can learn to budget the things that we are going to spend this holiday so that everything will be on a proper place.
Making a budget before rushing into shopping is one of the best to spend your money properly without wondering how and why your money was drained in your pocket. Some people overspend so much that they regret it because they weren't able to buy the other important stuff and that is because you did not plan to budget the amount you are going to spend and the things you need to buy. Making a list is very important and it might be about your holiday obligations, buying presents for your love ones and decorations. Each should be estimated properly so that you will have a budget to spend them all at one place.
It also sounds bad to spend less this year like what are you going to do with the money, the holiday is once every year only so why not try to spend as much as you can. Yes this sounds so true but if you are on a tight budget then you have to consider budgetting and making list.
Another way to saved so much fro your spending is by looking for discount codes. It's Christmas and there are many of vouchers and discounted promos everywhere so why not try to take the chance and you'll save up more. Make the best deal out of this Christmas. If you have Christmas gift cards then it's a big help for you, it can saved you up to 50% from the participating stores.
Another smart way to save more is by wrapping. Often wrappings are costly and so the gift bags as, if you want to save more then wrapping on your own can save a lot of penny. If you do not know about wrapping then you can find a lot of ideas in YouTube. If you want to give someone a gift but you are on a budget well it's okay, there are affordable gifts that you can give to someone and make sure you give it with all your heart and they accept it with all their heart too. If you have personal things but sill usable and beautiful that you think can still be good as present to someone then so be it, someone and everybody will appreciate. If you have handmade gifts then it will be a good present and sure it is made with effort. You can also make letters for everyone you want to check this year whether how their life in pandemic was and how are they feeling, are they feeling good this year and how are they coping with their tough year. We know we can just send message through Messenger but a handwritten letter is a different one, it comes with the heart and letters are so genuine and lovely. So write letters to the people you want to check this year!
One of the best affordable things you can give to someone this Christmas are baking mixes, soaps, cookies and chocolates.
But remember you don't have to spend money just to have a happy Christmas. Talking to your family and friends and knowing that you are healthy and away from the virus this year then that's all so much to thank for in this Christmas and in this year. People will understand why you cannot afford to buy them a gift and you don't have to borrow or loan some money just to buy someone a presents this season.

The Traditional Yule Log
The food original and actual name is Buche de Noel originated from the country of France. The Christmas dessert is shaped like a log. It is a chocolate cake that is rolled with chocolate whipped cream all over. It was designed with confectioner toppings to make it look like a log filled with snow.
The history of this delicious yule log dates back to the ancient times during the Celtic Brits and Gaelic European who prepare this to welcome the winter solstice at the end of December.

Eating Sweet Foods in Moderation this Holiday
Since holiday is coming, sweet foods will never be missing in our table. It could be chocolate truffles, red velvet cake, gingerbread, cookies, fudge and many more. It's the season of sugar for us and we cannot avoid to indulge ing sugary foods espescially it's holiday season. During holiday season it seems that sweets are everywhere we look. However eating too much sugar is not good but it doesn't mean you have to stop yourself from eating sweet foods of course you deserve the best treat this holiday season but with moderation and eating sweet foods properly, you are eating healthy!
Holiday season is not about limiting yourself from the foods you want to eat during the holiday but you have to make the motivation to make a lot of healthy choices this season. Have some health goals this year by taking commitment to yourself. Chose and start a healthy lifestyle but I know there is always the pressure when you look at very delicious tempting goods in the corner trying to lure you, well it's a great challenge!
Since it's holiday, only allow small indulgences which means do not overtake too much sweet, eat only a moderate amount. You deserved to enjoy they holiday treats so you have the right to indulge sweets this season but of course in moderation. The best thing you can do is to list down the treats that you want to eat this holiday and you'll decide which one you'll eat first. Be mindful about how much and when you will going to eat sweets.
Set a day where you will eat zero sugar. If tomorrow is the Christmas then you have to eat 0% sugar today. If you are going to be spoiled with so much sugar on Christmas then set this day with no sugar, let yourself prepare for the sugar indulgence. This can keep your taste buds from too much sweets and it allows you to keep a normal and healthy lifestyle.
To summarize it all these are the simple and basic things you can do to avoid eating too much sugary foods, eat only a smaller portions at a time, eat fewer calories and sugar at the same time, chose to eat the treats you only want so that you won't be spending too much sugar on other foods. If you are making or cooking them there are healthy ways to make your desserts guilt free, instead of using butter oil try to substitute it with applesauce instead. Use whole grain instead of refined flour in baking. Substitute some nonfat and low-sugar to your ice cream and whipped cream. Add some glad seeds or toasted nuts to make your desserts tasty and healthy at the same time.
When you eat too much sweets always remember to drink a lot of water afterwards. Enjoy your favorite treats by drinking a lot of water afterwards, these will keep your health normal. In order for you to stick with this goal, try to call a friend whom you can share the goal so atleast you won't be alone and bored with this challenge. Together you will set challenge to do it and together you will achieved your goals.
Though we know that everyone doesn't have the tolerance to take control of the sweets they are eating and who would love to avoid and skip the warm velvet brownies served just around your table. Of course it's hard to say NO. But you can do something from it, you can eat a small piece and then continue to eat it maybe tomorrow or later just don't eat a huge portion at a single time.
Despite so much abundance of sugars these holidays we can still enjoy them with our family by making healthy choices together! Start your goals by eating less added sugar and stick to your healthy goals this season and you will start a healthy New Year!
The Largest Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square London
The London's largest Christmas tree standing at the Trafalgar Square was a thank you gift from Norway and every year they sent Christmas trees to the London.
It is an historical event in their lives and had become a tradition to thank London from helping Norway after the invasion of German troops during the year 1940 but however the German's mission failed because they cannot surpass King Haakon, the Royal family from a very high profile and respected government.
Until now, Norwegians will never forget what Britain did for Norway and for not letting the German's take their freedom and independent country. And because of this, Norway sent a token of gratitude by sending Christmas tree to London every year. This is to celebrate the Britain's support to Norway for preserving liberty during the World War II.
The Christmas tree had become the symbol to the friendship of Norway and United Kingdom. The Christmas tree sent to London is typically a 50-60 year old tree!
There is a ceremony for cutting the tree and the British Ambassador and Mayor of Oslo attends to witness the cutting of the tree and after the successful event the tree was sent to ship to UK. On the first Thursday in December thousands of people gather in Trafalgar Square to participate in Christmas carols and to see the tree lighting ceremony. The tree lighting ceremony in Trafalgar Square includes a band and choir followed by the switching on of the Christmas lights.
"This is a very important tradition for us. It’s historically important but it’s also important for the future. I say that everyone needs friends. Even cities need friends. So, this is a symbol of friendship, peace, dialogue and gratitude,”
The Norwegian spruce can grow up to 50 metres tall. When the tree was in good condition inside 25 years, it can grow up to 1 meter per year. The Norway spruce grows in the forests of southern, eastern and parts of central Norway. But it also grows all across Scandinavia and parts of northern Europe. This is one of the reasons the tree has survived highly-changeable climatic conditions. During cold periods, spruce roots produce low bushes, while in times of milder temperature they become tall, slender trees. The seed cones are the largest of any spruce. Typically measuring 9 to 17cm long, the cones have blunt-to-sharp triangular pointed scale tips. They mature around 5-7 months after pollination.
When it reached around 20 meters, the growth rate slows. They have narrowly tapered crown and branches that often hang and sway. One of the most fascinating facts about the spruce in Norway is that they can live for **hundreds of years** and the roots last even longer.
What would happen to the Christmas tree tradition in this pandemic?
For the last 70 years, the city of Oslo used to send a giant Norwegian Christmas tree every December to London in appreciating the good deeds of UK to their nation. But unlike before, there is no city ceremony and people caroling in the crowd to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree due to pandemic and Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The Lord Mayor of Westminster Jonathan Glanz, plans to travel to Norway for the ceremony but he wasn't able to attend it due to the Covid-19 flying restrictions.
Norway and UK shows that a friendship and gratitude last longer and they would remain forever, no matter what will happen or how the time passes by, the friendship will still remain and would become a tradition that would be kept forever.
Merry Christmas everyone and comment down the person whom you had the longest and memorable friendship throughout your lifetime 👇♥️
Never Judge People With Social Anxiety

Well, it doesn't mean that you are nervous in every situations doesn't actually mean you have social anxiety disorder. The truth is that there are many people feel shy or self-conscious in so many certain occasions and it's pretty normal.
Stop Eating Too Much Instant Noodles
No one in this world that hasn't eaten noodles in their life yet and not to mention the availability of it since it is easy to find and the price is not big to afford for everyone of us wanting to have something easy to eat. The perks of people consuming instant noodles are due to the very few minutes it takes in cooking espescially to the busg people who has no time to cook for time consuming foods and who are far away from stores or maybe people who are in a very tight budget. Instant noodles are very convenient and budget friendly but is it really good to consume so much of it?
The ramen noodles are type of instant noodles packed with almost no nutrients. They are packed with wheat flour, vegetable oils and flavourings. They are sold in pre-cooked which means they are steamed and air dried. Sometimes they are fried to shorten more the cooking time.
If you are fun of watching kdramas or other Japanese and Chinese in dramas eating noodles will you have to know that they are eating **fresh noodles.** Those noodles are freshly served in soup form and top with ingredients like eggs, duck meat and vegetables.
Why Instant Noodles are Bad?
Instant Noodles are packed with so much sodium. We all know that too much for everything is not good which applies to the too much amount of sodium found in the instant noodles. Having a diet high in salt has been linked to an increased risk of stomach cancer, heart disease and stroke. What’s more, in certain people who are considered salt sensitive, a high-sodium diet may raise blood pressure, which can negatively impact heart and kidney health. If you don't know, instant noodles are packed with 88% of sodium amount but since ramen noodles are cheap and quick to prepare, it’s an easy food to rely on for people who are crunched for time.
Instant Noodles are packed with so much preservatives and flavourings. It has Tertiary butylhydroquinone used to extend shelf life and prevent the food from spoiling. It also has monosodium glutamate that when consumed too much symptoms would occur like headaches, nausea, high blood pressure, weakness, muscle tightness and flushing of the skin.
Doctors are experimenting the difference between fresh noodles and instant noodles. It is found that after two hours, fresh noodles were almost completely digested, the stomach broke down the noodles as it should. Looking at the instant ramen noodles after two hours showed that they were much less broken down, and almost fully intact. Dr. Kuo recorded 32 hours from the pill camera. “What we’re seeing here is a stomach contracting back and forth as it’s trying to grind up the ramen noodles. What many people don’t realize is that these cheap noodles that we slurp on, on a day-to-day basis at the office, in the comfort of our own home or even shared with our children, are actually dangerous to our health.
Instant noodles are hard to digest and your digestive system are having hard time breaking down the highly processed noodles for hours. It can also interfere with your blood sugar levels and insulin release if digested too quickly. The Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and t-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) are considered as carcinogenic this means that they can cause cancers, anxiety, asthma and diarrhea if consumed too much.
In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, it was found that women who consumed more instant noodles had a significantly greater risk of metabolic syndrome than those who ate less regardless of overall diet or exercise habits, with those who ate instant noodles more than twice a week being 68% more likely to have metabolic syndrome. This increase chances to get stroke and heart-attacks.
Understanding the Value of Happiness
Some people define happiness as temporary state of emotions while some people are finding ways to become happy but the question is, is it hard to become happy and where do you seek and get happiness? From the things you have now? From achieving what you want? From reaching your goals and so on the list goes.
"A good life is a happy life."-Aristotle
They say happiness isn't something you feel, it is something. Do not chase happiness instead look for the deep meaning of it. Happiness is a positive state of emotion in our lives. Aristotle differentiate the two things, the **flourishing and the happiness.**
Flourishing
is living a virtous life where you pursue and achieve excellence from your work, from relationships and in the whole community. You might achieved those things but those things doesn't guaranteed you go be happy.
People are striving for the ideal of happiness in their lives. This causes great unhappiness around the when you strive to do for something, always put your mind and body a sense of positivity. Learn not to expect something in return after you did something great but of course knew the limitations of your kindness. Give and receive love without expectations or any reservations. And most of all do not forget the power of contentment.
You, yourself you have to be honest with this question, what are the things that makes you happy?
What really you very happy? Is it a new job? A new spouse? A new home? A new car? No matter what you fill in the blank with, the answer will always be no. Happiness is not about who you’re with or where you are or what you have. Can these add to your happiness? Yes they can. Can these things create your happiness? Never.
Happiness
is also about loving yourself and who you are. Accepting your flaws and imperfections. Know that you are an amazing person in this world and you are enough. Loving yourself is also a true sense of happiness in this world how could you love someone else and the other things when you haven't learned to loved yourself in the first place?
There are moments in our life where we felt such things like these, "I would be happy when I’ll buy a new car, new house, new shop, traveling the world, being with friends or family, winning a lottery, getting married, having children, playing, partying with friends, etc."
*True happiness is happiness inside you. True happiness is enjoying your own company and living in peace and harmony with your body, mind and soul. True happiness is state of mind constantly being in love with yourself.*
But sometimes in life we often confused things the way they are. We often confused happiness with a momentary state of pleasure of feeling joy. We look on the things we can see that gives us satisfaction and possessions. This might make you joy but this is not everlasting.
Let us immediately eliminate the word "**pleasure**" from the definition of true happiness. As we have seen, pleasure can never bring a long-lasting sense of happiness and it often brings suffering in its wake.
To become happy, eliminate the negative attitudes you are seeing. Learn to become positive as much as you can and it will give you a better outlook of the world around you. Reconnect with inner peace, compassion and wisdom by taking some time to meditation.
Although the term self-happiness is not used very often, “self-happiness” refers to a sense of happiness or satisfaction with one’s self. It is often associated with self-confidence, self-esteem, and other concepts that marry “the self” with feeling content and happy. In general, it means that you are pleased with yourself and your choices, and with the person that you are.
Remember you cannot pleased everyone so learn to embrace yourself and there is a strong relationship between mental health and happiness! When happy people are healthier, have better relationships, make friends more easily, and find more success in life, it give them contentment. It's easy to see why happiness and mental health are related.

Hello everyone in readcash
Hello to all of you please welcome me here for I found a new place I cannot believe existed, the readcash!!
First of all I'm a writer who loves novel and writing short stories. I also published my stories at school where my teacher was impressed by me. For me it's my passion to write and share a story to everyone. I was young when I started writing, I was in 4th grade where I wrote a stories about princess and I let my girl classmate read it so that I will know how it goes. She likes it very much in fact she want me to write more and pushes me to keep writing at nigh just for her and of course I did. I really enjoy it a lot and I can feel that I can express myself even more.
So my passion for writing when I was a child keeps going and I write even more. I like to write about fantastic stories like the princess and my girl classmate loves it so much. But my English wasn't good that time and it's not bad either for a fourth grader like me who can write and create its own story because the others at my age cannot even formulate a sentence so I don't recall my writing as a bad one. So I keep on writing till I reached high school and my writing improved more. As I was looking back at my stories when I was in fourth grade, I laughed because it's so funny how the characters are being describe but at the same point I found it very cute like wow I wrote this, how hilarious!
So in highschool, I am the one who write for scripts and create some characters for the drama and this is the best part for me. I call it the best part because I like assigning my classmates into different characters and see them portray the characters I created in my mind. So I really enjoy it all the time and I feel like a little director myself in those kind of scenarios and I fill like it's a fulfilling thing. Honestly, I wrote some different novels in my notebook but none of them can be found not I can retrieved them because I had lost them. They are written in different notebooks where I wrote them hand by hand and one of them was read by my sister and she likes it too. I remember bringing them into my school and many of my classmates want to publish it like they support me and I felt so motivated. Sadly, I lose them one by one without me knwoing it. My teacher even told me to join a contest for essay writing but I was hesitated to join because my competitors are all good and besides it's my first time so I am really reluctant to see what will happen if I join. Sadly I did not took the opportunity because the fear knocked in my knees and my teacher chose another one instead. That day, I really felt it was so heartbreaking that reject something worth it but I don't know I was too coward for that contest. I wish I wasn't and maybe I was wrong for thinking that I cannot do it by myself.
My notebook and my things they had been cluttered and I don't know where they are now or how I can find them or can I still find them. I know there are still grammatical errors I need to fix and update so that my story will go smoothly but apparently I have no hope for this.
So now I'm still finding way to write another novel and stories but I had lose motivation recently and due to pandemic it made me so so lonely that I cannot speak properly. But now that everything is going back to normal, I am still adapting recently and I am glad I found this site maybe I can continue my passion here or maybe hone my skills here if given the chance. I would like to know how it will grow me as a writer and gives the motivation for what I had started since I was young. Life is precious just like how our writings are and I know you are all a great writer here whose works are written by your precious hearts. ♥️
