Keep Trying
This is the part 2 of my article the other day that was entitled as **Summer Job Hunting Part 1**. In this article I will tell all the challenges and experience that I got to do trying to find a Summer Job a few months ago. I will start this article in my first experience that I have finding jobs back then. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/summer-job-hunting-part-1-f56c6f10
When I first decided to look for a proper job that first thing I do was to join in a lot of Facebook groups that was related in job hirings in our city because this was the my first idea into looking for jobs. I thought I should look online first because it's hard to just go in the main city with my resume with me because if I did it immediately it will just be a waste of time of money for the fare it wasn't able to find one that's why I choose to look in posts first.
Looking for the Job in Online posts
In the Facebook posts that was in the groups there are a lot of job offering that was available but they wasn't specifying what job it is they are just telling to comment "how?" and then they will reply "pm pls" . I don't know on how many times did I comment "how" in different post from the groups that I've joined in. They was replying into me but I wasn't lucky at all because almost all of it were job in networking. You know it was really hard in networking and most of it is just purely scam.
Some of them was legit but most of them is looking for either with experience in the related field or it was too far from our house and if I accepted the job I won't be able to earn anything because the fare was much more expensive than the salary that I will receive that's why I didn't accept the job.
Some of the post was much pretty much straight forward because in the post they made they are telling what is the job is and what is the position that they are looking for but I wasn't lucky in any of those because almost all of it was impossible for me to get in. Almost all of it was just kind of ridiculous because all of them want a job experience in their qualification well some of them makes sense like in the jobs like being cook, machine operator, and etc. but some of them was really questionable because they are looking for a crew member that was specifically will work in cleaning and some other stuffs but they want it to have a proper degree and have an at least 2 years of experience.
When I saw this post I was really shock by it because why will they need a personnel that will clean and some some physical labor jobs to have a degree and a 2 year experience especially that they said in their post that the age range was 18-30 years old. This is just really kind of unbelievable high standards that I can't seems to accept. But anyway I almost also got a job.
Almost getting a job
In my browsing in online post I almost got a job and that was to be a factory worker. It's the first job that doesn't need anything that is hard they didn't even asking if you have an experience or not the person the replies to me just refer me into the agency. She jumped gave the contract details and the agency will help me get all the things that I need. I know that this job was not a scam because I already sees this job offering a lot of times as well as I have some acquaintance from Junior High school that was working there I even message of them because I was kinda close to her and she also tell me the same agency to apply.
The job is good but there are problems with it. The place of work was in another province but the company will provide a shuttle bus for us to have a ride. They also needs us to be in the training for the work but it was paid all those times. But the main reason that I didn't get it because my grandfather disapprove it. He didn't agree because it was in another province as well as he also get mad because he didn't know that I was looking for a job. He said that he let us to stay in his house for my brother and I to be able to study and have a shelter to eat and sleep. I was even trying to convince him that I will stop as soon as the classes begin but he didn't agree at all.
Handing out my Resume
But I didn't give up because of it that's why I also trying to apply to any job offering that I am seeing when I am out running errands for myself and my grandfather. When I was start looking for a job I immediately do my resume and printed 15 copies of it and those resumes were always in the folder inside my bag that's why when I am out for example I need to go to school or some errands for my grandfather I am allotting around 30 minutes to 1 hour looking for job openings in the place that I am going through.
I am not someone that have a courage to just to talk to people and ask about something like for job openings in the stores but I push myself to be a thick faced and confidently ask for it like in the store clerk or something like that.
At the first that I tried it I managed to go into three different establishment. The first one was a fast food chain but they just tell me to pass my resume online, the second one was a popular convince store they accept it but the store cashier that he will hand it out to his boss after his shift and the third one was shopping market but the manager refuses my resume when she sees that I still doesn't have any experience at all.
I really want to cry after I got home that time because I took all my courage and confidence just to do it and I am also thinking to just don't do it anymore because it's just a waste of time. That time I was also so stressed about a lot things related to my family because there are a lot issues around my father and we are all getting involved in it. That's why I really did convinced myself to not stop doing it because I will more stress in the house because of all the things that other people are saying.
I still continue doing it everytime that I am going in the city to do something. I just stop doing that for like 1 week or something because I got sick because of me falling in the stairs and my back was aching but after that I still do that and I continue doing that.
The reasons that they gave.
I can't tell all the experience that I manage to go through in finding summer job because I can't really remember all the things that I do back then but I still do remember all the reasons that they said why I wasn't accepted in the job.
We need someone with experience
Your too young
You're not the one we're looking for
We need a permanent employee
Try to graduate college first.
We need someone that is alright to be deployed in different branch.
I heard this things so many times that I feel like I am quite immune to it already. First how can I get a experience when I m just 18 years old and some of those jobs is like not really a job that needs a experience or something because they are labored jobs. Second, yes I am quite young but I am still trying and I am now at legal age. Third, well this is kinda understandable but still frustrating because it's a big rejection that they are not really interested in me. Fourth, well this is also understandable because I am saying that I will just stay in the job around 2-3 months because I am just looking for a summer Job and I understand that they want someone that will stay in the job for a such period of time. The fifth one was the one I was so frustrated about because it's not like I am applying for some high end or professional job especially like the one that said this to me which is a convinent store they want a graduate from college that will be a cashier and will stock up the shelf. Finally the last one, well they are asking if I am willing to work in different branch that is located somewhere far but I am saying no because I know that I my grandfather wouldn't accept that.
I am frustrated when I heard of those words but I still remain calm and have respect to them. I just keep it with me. I apologize if I may look like so furious with my last paragraph because aside from one of my friend I never tell anyone about my job hunting experiences that why I am still kinda annoyed when I am remembering some of it.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading my article. I apologize because I said to my last article that I will surely post the next day but I wasn't able to write this article yesterday because I got some unexpected errands to do. In my next article I will finally share on how did I got accepted in my summer job.

Summer Job Hunting Part 1
Good day everyone it's been a while since I last publish an article and like what I've said to my previous article last time that I published on this platform I want to share my summer Job hunting experience that I've done this last summer vacation. This is also one of my main reason in being inactive here aside from busy in school and personal matters this past few months.
But first I want to explain why I decided to find a summer Job a few months ago. As well as to answer some important questions that is related for my job hunting.
Why did I want to have a summer Job?
This is the first question that I want to answer in this article. I basically start wanting summer jobs ever since I was still in Junior High school but at that time I am still a under 18 that's why most of the jobs out there won't accept me even though it was just a simple position because you know it was a illegal to employed a minor employee that's why I wasn't been able to able to apply in any summer jobs before but this i already turned into legal age this year, me getting employed in any establishment or work were higher than before because this is one of their requirement to be accepted.
Also the main reason why I really need to have a job is have an income. If you ever have red one of my articles before you might see one about the struggles that we are facing financially that leads for me and my brother moving in to my grandfather's house to have a better place to live and a sure food to eat. We live here because of the decision of the elders because of my father current situation. After we moved here me and my brother have a sure place to live in and a food to eat everytime but it was still hard because there are still a lot of problems mainly because of my father's depths to many people that I am just recently founding out and it was also embarrassing to just stay here in the house the whole day even though I have a valid reason but still I cannot be fully in peace because all the things that I am hearing from a lot of people that's why ever since I already settled in here I start looking for jobs that I can do.
What is the job that I will get or apply for?
This is the second thing that comes to my mind when I was thinking of getting a summer job. The most first job that comes to my mind was conquering online jobs like being a YouTuber, a blogger, a professional writer and a lot things that was all related into online employment or mostly just staying in home. This is the first thing that comes to my mind because I've been seeing a lot of ideas in this platforms and all the online platforms that I am using that's why I am even day dreaming me being able to be a great influencer like those in the YouTube and facebook then earn money by doing it but I those things takes time to do and it's not like something that's with a sure income that's why even though that's the first thing that I've thought I immediately give up about it because what I need that time is to have a proper job that will bring a sure expected income because what I really need that time is to get an income but I wasn't giving up in my first choice I've been trying to learn to do some basic things that can help me if I wanted to conquer online jobs someday like video editing simple voice over and stuffs.
The second choice of mine that was to work in the fast food restaurants. Works such as being a waiter, cashier and etc. things that includes physical works because in my state this was the applicable choice that I can get because I still have no experience in such any working environment. And this kind of job is the one that is one that I was able to have well it's not really in a restaurant but something that was quite related into which is a customer service establishment like that I will explain it later.
Author's Note:
Good day everyone I will continue this story in my next article that I will surely post tommorow because today while I was writing this was Friday night in our country but tomorrow was Saturday and I still don't have any class schedule in Saturday that's why I am sure that I will be able to do it. Well thank you for reading this article have a nice day good bye everyone.

What I've been doing?
Good day everyone I've been away from this platform for quite a long time already as well as in Noise that's why I feel a little strange go back in writing and posting again because I don't know if I can still write again or anyone would read it but I feel a little sad because I mostly have no time in doing a lot of things because a lot of things happened in my life that I can't even update or tell anyone about it. Well my life was still full of challenges and a lot of stressful things that I only want to be in the bed and cry all day well I tried it once but it doesn't change anything at all that's why I choose to do something to ease my problem a little.
Ever since I move in my grandfather's house I've been mostly inactive in many social media platforms like here and noise at first because I am totally busy with school but there's also another reason and that is I am trying to find work and I seek a lot scholarship opportunities to grab on so that I can help myself in my studying because I am literally losing hope with my father supporting our education because I thought we moving out will help him get it together and start to reconstruct his life again but it seems that it wasn't the case because he is bringing much more trouble and embarrassment to the point that I can't lift up my head while walking outside but I won't tell about it right now because just thinking about it makes me tear up .
This article was entitled what I've been doing but I don't really know what to share right now that's why I just to share a little bit that is happening in my life right now. These past few months I've been trying to find a job while I am still studying. Even though the my school wasn't still over that time every time that I had a free time I am always looking out for job opportunities out there. I want to make another article about it next time because I really want to share my whole journey about it.
But to some up what I was saying above right now I have a "job" it wasn't that good but it's alright especially that they are the only that accepted me and they have a quite good benefits even though the salary is just enough. But I am proud on myself having a job right now.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I just managed to write an article again because today was my day off but I will try to again regularly even though I have work. But I just to head up that this job was just a temporary while it was still a vacation because when the school was already start I will start studying again.
This article was awfully short and full of nonsense things but I will definitely try to write a proper one next time. Good bye everyone have a nice and wonderful day ahead.

Inactivity Part 2
For today's article I just wanted to continue the article that I published the other night about the reasons why I became inactive this past few months and I just want to continue the unfinished things that I am writing the other day.
New Living Arrangements
Well it's been almost 2 months since me and my brother moves out of our house and move in my grandfather's house because of the complicated things that our family faces. I was hoping that we moving out will lighten the situation for our father but it seems that he wasn't still enough changes for our lives to be better but I will just stop thinking about it because I don't want to blame others because I know I am also part of it and maybe if I do different thing in life my life would be different but yeah hahaha I will stop saying about this now because it was completely unrelated on what my topic is hahaha.
Living here in my grandfather have a lot of advantages that like access to Wifi, I don't have to worry about what to eat because we are just buying our viand almost everyday but since I am now living here it also comes with some responsibilities or things that I have to do that technically wasn't that hard maybe I am not really just use to it. I don't want to enumerate all of it right now but I will for sure do an article about it someday.
Access to Wi-Fi
This reason of mine might be little funny to others because this one was supposed to be one of advantages of living here right now but this also became a hindrance of me writing an article. Me having access to Wi-Fi without limit really helps a lot for my school works because I don't have to worry about the data consumption that I am using in attending and doing other stuffs related to school. This really became a big advantage for my studies but it became a hindrance to my writing.
Before when I have free time I always try to be active because of my motivation back then that might be a little funny but true. When I am done doing my school stuffs I like to relax and just watch anything that was entertaining in the internet but before I can't always do it because earning money for my cellular data was one of the most helpful thing that Noise and Read helps me a lot.
Since I can't asked money from my parents for things like cellular load even though it's for school. It's a big help that I can just pay for it by earning from these platforms. That's why after my school works I always convinced myself to at least try to publish or post so that I can obtain enough money for my load in the following days or weeks but now that data consumption isn't a problem because my grandfather have a WiFi it causes me to lose one of my most important motivation in writing which is for me to have load for my studies because when I am tired or when I need a break in doing something I just watch anything in YouTube or Facebook in high resolution as possible because unlike before that I can't enjoy watching in high resolution because I am always concerned in data consumption now my streaming hubby is really happy because I can watch anything without worries especially in animes and K-dramas.
Always Going Out/ Running Errands
If you know me I am not really a kind of person who enjoys being outside because I rather stay inside the house the whole day than going out and seeing people but now that I live here I can't avoid in staying outdoors because I should do things that they need to do like getting or doing some paper works outside because my grandfather can't go outside and go into such places because he needs to avoid a lot of people because the virus is still around and he can't stand the heat outside that's why he is always inside the house because of the aircon.
Even though I've been doing this for 2 months now I can't still be comfortable outside because I hate and I am feeling a little scared in talking people especially when I have to ask something like direction or terminal for such places because I don't go outside and I don't know where are the things that I need to go.
I can't also avoid going out because my grandfather always wanted something to buy from "bayan" like the bread and cookies that he was addicted to and the Champorado in the cup, and his favorite Kare- Kare from a restaurant that is hard to find a ride back home because it was located in such a complicated place. You might think that I hate being here because of this things but I tell you even though sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable I am happy and grateful that my grandfather let us stay here and understand our situation right now.
Place to Write or Think.
You that it so hard to write or think something when it was noisy and you keep hearing other things in the background because you can't have a focus on things that you need to do because you are bothered to the noise. This is my biggest hindrance why I can't write because I don't have a quite place to write my articles. Since my grandfather shouldn't left alone in the place in house alone because he might need something like food or need to adjust the temperature of the aircon or choose another show to watch he can't be left alone watching TV.
Since he was watching TV I can't write an article because when I try to I always lose focus because of the noise from the Television I also can't go inside our room to write there because my brother was there and it's so hard to write anything there that's why I am can just write when my grandfather is asleep like when he sleeps early or like inside the bathroom.
Just like now I am inside the bathroom even though it's already almost midnight while writing this because this place was quite but I can't stay in the bathroom in an hour that's why I can just write at night when everyone is asleep.
Author's Note:
There are a lot more reason why I can't really continue focus in writing but this reasons listed in this article and the other article of mine was like the general reasons I can't think but I remember or thought something I will just add it up here or in the other article in some other time. Once again thank you for reading my article have a nice day everyone. Bye 👋

My Reason of Inactivity (Part 1)
Good day everyone this past 2 months I've been so inactive in this platform and in Noise because of various reasons that I will share today. I know that I am not really known here and I barely have some people that knew me but I missed to read and interact with other users to get to know their stories that they have to tell. These things helped me to get new learnings in life and knowledge about things that I still don't know. I really want to be active again but these various reasons prevents me to do so.
Laziness
To be honest even though I am quite busy I might say that laziness is one of the main factor of my inactivity because back then when I am tired or have a free time I am using these platforms to be entertained while taking a rest. Almost everyday I am trying to encourage myself to write and interact again but after the things that I am doing I just found myself out scrolling through Facebook, YouTube and other streaming platforms.
A ton of School Works
If you read my articles before I always point out that I have a lot of things regarding to school that always needed to be done. These past few months was the stressful and tiring months of school for me especially these past three months. These last 3 months was super tiring and stressful months of my student life I guess because I am doing a lot of activities, projects, and a lot more things related to school.
I have a lot of days where I didn't sleep properly because I was up all night doing my activities and research papers that I need. I also can't count on how many videos that I took for school activities. A lot of meetings online and in person that I attended to complete something that even got up to 3 am because there a lot of things that needed to take care of.
Also these past 3 weeks I am also always almost sleepless because of the finals exams and finalization of final projects that I need to complete before we managed to be a candidate for graduating students. To be honest I really felt like we done a lot more things compare to other that was also in Senior High in the same grade as we are because a lot of the students in my batch was thanking that they didn't went to our school for Senior High when they knew the amount of works that we are doing. Some students that we are so stressed out just like those college students and some people said that we look more stressed than them😅.
Well these is because we are going to the of College that's why most of the people thinks when we are going to the school that we are also a college students because I really felt like that the teachers are treating as us a college students and also talked about in on us because as per they quoted that " ***This is to prepare all of you to your college life because we don't want you to be shock and give up when you faced these challenges in the near future***" well this goal of them was actually really good because this totally makes sense but I wished that they have been a little more light about it because thinking on all the stress that I got makes me think to refuse to go to college hahaha.
These past few days that the exams was already done and the grades was already finalized all things that we just doing now is to attend in various webinars that our school gives us and even though the school stuffs are already done we are still mandatory to attend to attend these webinars because they are checking the attendees and if you don't attend the teachers will sent you an email and you have to write back the reason why you can't attend after that they will ask to do something according to my classmates that didn't attend 😸.
Author's Note:
There's a lot more reason why but I will end this article for now because I have to do something tomorrow and I don't want to left this in the draft because I am not sure if I can continue it tommorow that's why I don't want it to be stuck there hahaha. But I will try to continue writing it tomorrow. Once again Thank you reading my articles and I hope that you will have a happy life. Good bye 👋

Expensive Graduation
***Soon as I walked out of the campus yesterday I asked myself "Is it too much for a Senior High school Graduation"?***
Well to tell you guys how did I come up with question with myself yesterday it was because of the graduation meeting that we held yesterday. And I was totally shocked by all the expenses that I have to pay for me to be able to join in this ceremony.
Yesterday which is Monday in our country the Department of Senior High school students scheduled a meeting for each strand to be attend the most awaiting graduation meeting that a lot of students look forward to. This graduation topic is been a hot topic in students from our school since last month because most of the school around in our city was already done in their Graduation ceremonies but in our school it wasn't still confirmed until yesterday if we will be held a Face to Face Graduation.
It is a question of a lot students because there's some few schools around here that held face to face graduation but there are also some schools that just decided to have a virtual graduation for safety purposes. That's why a lot of students from our school got so excited to know if we will held a Face to face graduation or Virtual graduation.
To be honest I want to have a Face to Face graduation because it's a Graduation ceremony this event just happens a few times in our life but thinking wise I don't really want to have a face to face graduation because I know it will be a lot of expenses and I knew it will be expensive considering the financial situation that our family have right now it's not really advisable to join this kind of events.
Well back to the main topic, when we started the meeting almost half of the attendees where parents because we can choose whether we will attend the meeting or our parent because only one person per student is available to attend because of the restrictions.
When the meeting started they immediately said that there will be a face to face graduation. There's no particular reaction that was made by the attendees but I am sensing that most of the students that were present that time doesn't actually want to have a face to face graduation. Well because I think most of us is already consider themselves adult because we are all in legal age I know some of them are having a hard time to say things that will cost money to their parents because they already started to have a sense of responsibility in themselves.
July 20 (Wednesday)
*I created this draft around 2 - 3 weeks ago but I am just going to continue it right now because of some certain certainties that I can't explain 😅*
To continue what I am talking about earlier the meeting started by just a simple talky talks of the administrator of our Strand trying to get everyone's undivided attention. Well after that talk she already proceed about the details of the graduation. She first discussed about the location of the place. I am really expecting it to be a garden resort/resto but I am just expecting the one that was in our City because they usually held there graduation since Face to face classes there but I am surprised because the location was changed and it will take place in other resto garden. I immediately search in Google where that place located and I shook when I saw that it was located in the other city which is just neighbor of our city but it was still too far.
When our administration talks about why did they choose is it because they said that the usual garden resto that always renting since then can't occupy all of us and doesn't that certain amount that our school wants to cover up for the student a parent that they can bring to the ceremony.
Then they just proceed with a lot of talks and details about the upcoming Graduation and how they want for the students to experience a good and memorable graduation for every students because they quoted that " It was a once in a lifetime for every students mga nanay, tatay, Tito, Tita at sa lahat ng mga tinuturing na pamilya ng aming minamahal na mga estudyante kung kaya't nais ko pong i-push ang pag heheld ng event na to para sa mga minamahal naming estudyante" after she said that I suddenly heard from my back that said " ang plastic naman hahahhaha" 🤣
I was also thinking the same thing after I heard what she said because I've seen the monstrous side of that teacher when we are in Grade 11 hahaha and now it looks like that she is such a heart warming person with the parents and guardians around hahaha. I want to tell the story about her outrage at us back in Grade 11 but that's gonna took a lot of time hahaha.
Then they just continue with the more details about it and some stuffs needed to be discussed. And lastly they announced the list of candidate for honors in our Strand but they don't announced the rankings they just announced the names of the honors because they will have a meeting again and to discuss something Good news is I am also part in the list of candidate for honor students.
Well to be honest I didn't really hear it until all the people looks at me because when you're name was called you need to stand and everyone will clap. I didn't hear that I was called because me and my friend is talking about the ant we saw hahaha. I don't know why our topic that time was about the ant because it started from the so expensive Graduation until we got up to the ant passing by in our table hahaha.
After this we just go home already. My friend invited me to come with them in SM but I declined because I have no extra money already and I also have to go in the grocery store to buy something that my grandfather needs from there.
It took me around 4 days before I messaged about graduation in my father and mother because I really think and analyze if I can just pay it myself and if was possible to just solve this problem because I don't want to add up in the ton of problems right now but when I tell about it as I expected it just cause more trouble that's why I am unsure if I really want to join this activity right now.
Author's Note :
Good day everyone it's been a while since the last time that I published an article here because there's a lot of things going through my life right now I really hope that I can solve all of it so that I can do things like back then.

A kindness from a stranger
I just woke up this evening and as I am writing this is I just finished eating my dinner because I fell asleep when I arrive this afternoon. I am not really planning to write an article today but I want to shared something nice that happened to me this day because I don't want to forget it.
I posted this morning on Noise that I have to go somewhere today because my grandfather have some papers to take care of and since I am not doing anything today I just presented to do it because it involves long time waiting in line and we can't let our grandfather do that because we are gonna be screwed by our Uncle and other relatives if they find out that we let our father do that if we can just do it ourselves.
Well back to the story, this morning I wake up early to get ready because I have to get ready and I don't know the actual place that I have to go because I am not entirely sure where is that place I just know the address but I never been in the actual place. I wake up today and eat my breakfast which is the leftover Corned beef that we had last night because I want to eat rice because I don't want to get hungry when I am there. After I ate I just take a bath and dress up myself something normal which is a t-shirt and a jeans because it might be too hot there but I also packed some jacket in my bag in case it was cold because I don't want to get sick again these days.
Before I left I just get all the things that I need to have which is the papers and ID that I need but I was so annoyed because I forgot to charge my phone last night before I sleep and I also left the WIFI open that's why it was drained out. Good thing I wake up early and before I left it reaches until 51% in the jeep I am trying to not to use my phone because I need it to entertain myself while I wait in the line.
When I arrive in the building where I need to go I was so tired already because I walked a lot of places to find the jeep station that my grandfather said where I can take a ride to get there. It would be faster if I just ask some people around but I can't ask to anyone that's why I just look around myself good thing I heard 2 people talking about they were going to the place that I am also headed to that's why I just followed them and I saw the new jeepney terminal I need to take.
When I arrive there I ask the guard where is the place that I am looking for and the guard pointed out the other building and it was located in the 3rd floor. When I arrive in the building where I needed to be I stand in front of the elevator like a crazy because I didn't read the sign beside that it was out of order 😂. Good thing that there was not a lot of people around and I just straight up and find the stairs. I want to run because I was so embarrassed about what just happened 😂.
When I am about to go up I saw a old grandma that was climbing up stairs using the stairs also she have something carry and she was slowly walking up. I find it a little uncomfortable to watch because even though for me the bag that she carry was just light weight but for her it might be heavy. That's why I just came closer to the grandma and ask her if she wants help to go upstairs. At first she just stared at me and I take off my cap because I know I look scary with what I am wearing because I was wearing whole black shirt and jeans plus a black cap if just my facemask is color black I would look like a criminal like those shown in the Television.
After staring at me for a couple of seconds she just nodded. I asked her where she was going and she was also going to the 3rd floor then I said that I am also on my way there. I just carry her bag and help her by holding her hands and back to support her by slowly going upstairs. When we are in 2nd floor already she said that she wants a little rest because the she was tired already but to be fair the stairs was really high than the usual stairs because I was even a little tired myself after just 1 floor.
I just help her to sit in the side because there a bench in the corner that's why I just help her sit there and she just talk about her grand daughter and her kids occupations and I just hear her out then a lady which looks like her daughter came to us asking why she climb up already because she said to her to just wait downstairs.
She sees me and thank me about it. The lady was like already in her 30- 40 years old because she looks like the age of my mother. I just nodded and directly go upstairs already. It's already 9 am but the start of it was said to in 9:30. I waited and of course the person in charge was late good thing it was cool here because they have an AC inside the building. The officer in charge came around 10 am and after she gets there she immediately ask the us to line and to prioritize the old peoples and the person that was with old people.
Most of the people here is old or have someone with them and there's just a few like that was alone because this was really intended for old people I just do it myself for my grandfather. I am also in 3rd in the last of line because I was alone but that's fine.
I just waited there good thing they have chairs. I just entertain myself using my phone and after around 20-30 minutes of waiting I was surprised when somebody was infront of me handing over a bottle of water and a biscuit. I look and it was the lady that was with a old grandma in the stairs. The lady said that her mom asked to give it to me I don't know what to do to be honest I want to refuse it but the grandma is looking that's why I just accepted it and said thank you. I also smile to the grandma that was looking to me.
I am happy because I rarely receives something like this from a stranger even though it was just a little act of saying thank you but I am happy to what happened. I just forget to take pictures of it because I eat it immediately because I am a little hungry and thirsty already. Around 11:45 finally I was called already good thing they finished all of people before they took a lunch break. The process was just fast and after a few minutes I am already done. And all the words that I said was yes because all of their questions is just a normal questions and totally unnecessary at all 😂.
After that I just went to somewhere that I also need to go because my grandfather also asked me to go and do something. Then around 5 pm I arrived in our and after I take a bath I fall asleep.
I started writing this article after I eat dinner around 9:30 pm but I just finished it around 12:15 am already because halfway through I stopped writing because I got caught up in something that we are watching in Netflix and I totally that I am writing an article 😂.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I just some errands for my grandfather today and most probably I won't be able to write an article tommorow because I have to in our current school tommorow to do something and attend the meeting that we have.

Lending My Savings
Greetings
Good day everyone I am back again after a few days of being inactive there are literally a lot of reasons for this like the accident that happened to me a few days ago, the busy school schedule but I do think it was really just because I am so lazy to do it. This laziness is the one that I really want to remove to myself right now because I want to be productive and try harder because I have a goal but I can't really help myself to be lazy because of all the things that keeps happening to me as well as the continuous things that been going but yeah I can manage to do it. I just need to have a little more motivation in myself because I can't stand this laziness of my current state right now.
Saving Money since I was Young
So let me start this main topic of my article already. Since the before the Pandemic began I have a hubby to save all the remaining money I have from my daily money for school. All the money that I've been saving from all those days is just being kept by me that was place in other wallet because I use the money that I have to pay for a little things in school. For example those little fees that we are paying in school like a little contribution, sudden needs of materials for one subject/s, and if the money is still enough sometimes I also use it to buy a little things for myself like to buy some nice things for myself or to use for me to be able to get along with my friends outdoor activities.
My daily money that has been giving me as little compared to other classmates as well as if I don't budget it correctly I will even short with money. This is one of the things that I don't really like to happen to me because I don't want to ask more money in my parents especially when I was still living in my grandparents back then because the money was given to me weekly and I have to budget it myself for food lunch, transportation, and other expenses that I have. When I was in Elementary I have a lot of trouble in money that's why there are times that I am going to school without any extra money except for transportation. But when I got older I start to have a little ways to be able to save little by little in my weekly school budget. I am so happy that I learned how to budget and plan out the money that I have since I was young because it really helps me as I grew older today.
But when the Pandemic started this weekly budget of mine was stopped because there's no school I have no source of money to budget. But I got to see other source of a little money that's why I explore the internet and luckily back then I discovered using Noise that helps me to save money from my monthly load money. Because when the Online classes begins my father just started to just give us 400 pesos a month for load allowance so that we will have a data to attend our virtual classes.
Using Noise back then helps me save a lot money in load as well as I learn to buy cheaper loads from Shoppe and I also some money that I am earning back then to buy a little treat for myself back then when I got to earn a more from Noise back then. Then the money I received monthly from my load allowance I just put it in my savings. Last year in December after Christmas I already have 8 thousand pesos because I am not spending all the money that I am getting since the Christmas of 2019 until then.
Some of you may think that this is quite thoughtless or brainless act of mine because of the continuous inflation happening. And I knew it from the start but I just really want to have an emergency money for me to spend. Then last December I asked my sister if she could just keep the money in her because I don't want to have it in my possession because I am not trusting myself to not to use it because I am so tempted that time to buy a new phone that's why I asked my sister to keep it and she agreed to it. That's why I have a 8 thousand savings that I I wasn't using and I wasn't counting that as my own money because it's not the money that is allotted to be spent in something that I want.
Originally I was really saving for me to buy a new phone but as I explore the internet I saw a lot of people said that it's really necessary to have an emergency fund for you to spend in case of emergency. And the other purpose that I also thought recently is that I can also use this money to add for my Laptop funds since I need my own laptop for college and I don't want to ask it from anybody that's why I am just trying to save up myself. But I didn't imagine that I will use my savings into another thing.
Lending My Savings Out
I am actually sure that I sure did wrote about a call that I received before I took my admission exam in one of articles. I said there that there was a sudden call that I received about the money lending company that my father had a problem is because of his misunderstandings between him and his boss that's why he is the one paying of the loan that his boss took out because it was under his name.
Since I told my siblings about it and my father also knew it. We don't have anything to think to solve this problem because my father was still jobless and we all don't have extra money because all of us still jobless because the 2 of us is still studying and my sister is taking take of my niece. Since there's no possible solution that we can think on our own I just decided to tell my sister to give lend to my father all my savings that was in her and I added some money that I still have then my sister and brother also add their money that they can get so that we can just pay this st*pid debt that my father was caught up to.
Good thing that I actually don't need to have a lot of money in our situation right now because I am now living in my grandfather's house and basically I just need to have money when I need to go out to do some errands and school related stuffs. I am just using the money that I saved up that I purposely didn't give to my father because I thought about this circumstance that might happen and good thing I really think though it.
My sister said that he will encourage my father to pay for it in the end of the month but until now my father is still jobless and that's why I do think that it was basically impossible but I am not really waiting for it I am just alright that he was out of trouble about that thing. And to make sure about it my brother and sister went with my father when he paid of all of the debt that his boss had that was under his name.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am so inactive here because I am so basically so busy in my school life right now and my some responsibilities that I have to do right now. I just have an opportunity to write right now because our big performance at school was finally done and I only have 2 last big problems in my school for me to be able to graduate Senior Highschool.

Unwanted Call
Good day everyone before I start to write my article for today I just want to share my little strange or fun story. I really don't if this was strange or funny because I really thought I already published an article about this before I sleep and I only discover last night that I didn't publish any at all😅. But in my memory I really wrote an article before I sleep. The only thing that I think happened to me is that I only dream publishing an article. Maybe my brain is just tired because this past few days I've been writing and doing a lot of school works because we now near the end of the school year. Yeah that's the only funny or strange thing that I want to share but personally I find it a little funny.
The Unwanted Call Before the Exams
For the main topic of this article it's like a continuation or some things that I didn't share in my previous article because I only focus about the budgeting that I made that but today is a the problem that I've encountered that day that annoys me the whole day. Even though it's already a week when it happened but it's still bothers me until now. And now I want to share about it.
As I've written in my previous article when I arrive in the University where I will take entrance exams I stand in line outside to get in because each students that will go inside the university have to write their names, take temperature, disinfect, show some ID, and write why are they in the University. It took me around 45 minutes to 1 hour just to finished this because there's a lot of students that they some of them will take the entrance exam but most of them is college students that came to school to have a signature of their professors.
After I got inside I quickly came into the information desk because the guard didn't give me a proper answer to my question good thing I already went to this university several times because of the training when we are in Junior High as well as my sister went to this school when she was college. I asked the person there and he pointed out the farthest building in the campus. I am so tired when I walk through it because it's in the farthest building from the gate and it's in the back of the gymnasium that's why I also have to circle up to get there that's why getting there is so tiring 😅.
As I've said in my previous article I've waited around 2-3 more hours before to take the exams because it was adjusted. I feel so awkward that time because most of the students have a friend or a school mates that also have a same schedule as they do or they are accompanied with their parents. I feel so awkward that's why I just waited in one of the waiting sheds that wasn't occupied but I immediately go away because there's a group of friends that sat in the waiting sheds and it's awkward to sit with them.
I looked for another place to go and I just choose to go in the next near building because it's empty and there's no other people there. I just go in the stairs because there's a bench that was available to it. I am just alone in that place around for 45 minutes all I am doing is that I am watching some test examples in YouTube as well as I am trying to watch some random videos in YouTube because I feel a little uncomfortable in the place because even though there's no one there the students outside can see that I am in there.
Around 30 minutes before the exams starts I just sit near the examination room because we have to fill up some application forms that they are handing out. I just filled all the details out but I am also having such a hard time answering some questions because I don't know the year of birth of my parents and siblings. Well I do know their birthdays but I wasn't sure about the year and age because I looked it up in Facebook and I am pretty that wasn't accurate. I just called my sister to asked about it and I waited around 5 minutes until see answer the call because the signal there is quite unstable. And when I finished I just hand it over to the guy in the table and they let us go inside the examination room while still waiting for others and the proctor that will watch over us.
The Call
I was just sitting there because I was placed in the first row and the in the middle of the room because of that I was directly in the front of the proctors table the whole exams. I don't want to sit there because I feel a little nervous because the proctor might look into me more often because I am in his/her front sight. We still have around 15 minutes before we start and most of the students is just using their phones. They gives us this time to take the bathroom or do whatever we want because in the next 1 hour we can't go in the bathroom or anywhere.
I am just sitting there looking in other students do some other stuffs and suddenly my phone rang there's someone calling me. I was so confused because I don't know anyone that will call me as well as I don't give this number to anyone and the only one that knew these number is my family and Shopee. I am not supposed to answer it because it was labeled as Unknown number but I suddenly remember that sometimes the Shopee riders call us when they have a delivery for my cousin but they can't contact him.
I asked the guy in the door if I could go outside and answer it then he said go on that's why I just go in the quite near open space where there's no people and answer it. When I answered it a lady suddenly speaks up in the other line I was surprised because I didn't thought that the lady would call for delivery. Then she just continue to talk and she asked me confirming my name and she said it but I didn't confirm I am I just asked her a question about who she was.
Then she proceeds to talk about my father she said that my father borrowed money in one money lending company and still have some balances that was still unpaid and she said that my father wasn't responding to the calls they give anymore. I am not saying anything and I just let her speak and then she proceeded that if my father didn't pay for his remaining balance next week they will sent out some police officers to put my father into the jail. I am so surprised by that I don't know what to say and just asked about the name of the company and I know that it was really a legit lending company and then I end the call.
I immediately chat my brother and sister about if that was really true or anything but they wasn't seeing my chats in the group chat. I am quite panicking of course because she mentioned about getting jailed who would wouldn't be panic in that situation I am trying to redeem some points in to have some load fir phone calls but before I made a phone call I immediately saw a man who is the proctor carrying the exams in his hands.
The guy in the front calls everyone that is in outside to get inside. I am so uncomfortable about it because I can't think properly because of that phone call. I just get inside and went back to my seat the proctor suddenly speaks up. He just saying about the exams and etc. We asked us to turn all our phones in silent and keep the bags in front of the test room.
The exam is divided into 4 categories which are vocabulary, Mathematics, Analogy and I can't remember the last one. The exam is composed of more than 100 questions in my memory it was around 130-150 questions and we have to finish it in 1 hour. The exam is about to start but I am still bothered about that call and I can't stop thinking about it.
When the paper were distribute we just waited for all of us to get the paper and then we start to answer it. Honestly I am quite surprised because the questions is quite easy to be honest compare to all the things that I am reviewing since last night. It's easy but I can't really focused on answering it because I am still bothered in about the call. I knew that I am bothered because I can't focused on solving a simple problem in math and finding the right word on vocabulary.
I can't focused on answering the test but I just tried my best to answer it despite on what I am thinking. You might think that it was so many questions for Just 1 hour exam which is true but the first 3 parts of the exam is just truly a question based exams because the last part which is also the most numbered questions in the exams is not really a questions most of it is just figures and you have to analyze it. It's quite easy but the real problem is that the time given. In my perspective all of us can get high score in the last part of there's a 15 or 30 more minutes given because I saw some became stuck in Mathematics and Vocabulary.
Well in the last 5 minutes of the exams I still have 15 more questions to answer but I just try to stay focused and I finished it around 1 minute early. I might say that I really rush my self into answering it but it's fine. Well I saw some students manage to finish the exam around 5-10 minutes early but I also saw some people that didn't get to finish. For example the one that was sitting right next into me I just saw that he just took a wild guess in the last 10 questions because we are already passing out the papers in front. The proctor even saw what he did. When we passed the paper I heard that he talk to his friend that he was stuck in 3 questions in mathematics and he also said that he just guess the remaining numbers because it's time up already.
I also heard another student that was talking to her friend which is just behind it. They talked about somethings I even heard that the girl behind me praise or amazed in me and the other girl that was sitting around 1 seat beside me because they saw that we draw a figures in the math portion in our scratch paper because she said that she just guess it out. Then they said that we are smart but to be honest I managed to solve for it but I wasn't sure about it because answer that I solve in didn't match to the choices😅🤣.
I am embarrassed because they are talking about we being smart but I actually didn't get it right 😂. Then after the proctor have all the papers he asked us to pick our bags and go outside of the examination rooms in lines. Right after I got out the room I immediately call my sister about it while walking into the gate because it's still so far. My sister said that she also doesn't know about this. I am so annoyed as I am walking outside because all of the times that I will receive calls like that why it have to be before I took the exam. It made me anxious and lose my focus.
I just straight back home because I am tired and starving that I can devour the whole house 😅. When I got back home I finally have answer about it. The loan that the lady was talking about is the loan of the previous boss of my father but it was named after my father. The boss wasn't paying his loan anymore but since my father is the one on the name of the loan he was the one on trouble. But still he have to pay it because if he doesn't the company might really sent out a police officer. I really don't know why I am thinking like that which I know they can't because it's not like the police will really go in our house because of that and it's not really a crime related cases. I know that won't be possible if they don't have a arrest warrant or anything and I do know that what the lady was talking is just baseless threat to scare us out but I still can't help to be scared.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am still busy until the end of the month and maybe at least in the first 2-3 weeks of next month but I will try to write and active more.

Let's Budget My 400 pesos
Good day everyone today I will continue my article the other and this time I will explain or tell to you guys on how I spent my 400 pesos or 4 dollars when I went to my entrance exam last Monday. As I've said in my last article the only money I have in my wallet last time was 50 pesos but I need to some money for my entrance exam that's why I borrowed 350 pesos from my brother and he lent me that morning.
Since I am not totally prepared for the entrance exam I don't have all the necessary things that I need to bring and do. That's why I accomplished all of that in Monday morning. Now let me tell how my Monday went as well as the things that I've done that day. Despite sleeping so late a night before that because I stay up until 2 am for reviewing some lesson I managed to wake up around 6:00 because my grandfather was already awake and I have to do somethings.
As soon as I got up I immediately make a cup of coffee for myself and I proceed on buying some bread in the bakery nearby. After that I just have my breakfast then help clean up in the house and do some more chores that I need to accomplish that morning. Around 7:45 I go out from the house to went to barber shop.
Hair cut- 80 pesos
Since I wasn't totally prepared for this I looked like a disaster 😅. My hair was so grown out already and my head looks like a bird nest. I need to have a haircut because I need to went to get some pictures. I paid 80 pesos from this activity and when it's deducted to the money I have it will be just 320 pesos left but that's alright. After I went back to my grandfather's house I shave my face because my face is so hairy that's why I look much older as I should be 🤣.
I have a little beard and mustache that I don't really shave but since I need to take a picture I need to have a clean face. It's just so funny that after I shave my face my step-grandmother said that I look so much younger and look just like in my age. Well I can really see that I look much older with mustache but I am too lazy to shave it out when there's no special event to do or I don't need to take off my face mask in public.
Well going back to that I immediately take a shower after I shave because it's already around 8 am and I need to go to the city as soon as I can be. After I took a bath I just prepared all of my things that I need and leave the house.
Tricycle - 10 pesos
Since my grandfather's house is quite far from the main road where you can ride a jeep to go in the main city unlike to our house before I have to walk a little to get to the road where the jeepney drives through. Normally I would just walk from here to there but I choosing to just ride a tricycle because I saw one tricycle that is just missing one passenger if there's none I have to pay 40 or 50 pesos to solo ride it but I just pay 10 pesos because there's other people in that tryicle already and I choose to ride it because the clouds looks not too good and I am afraid that it might suddenly rain because if it rains it will be so muddy in the track where I will walk. Well there's 10 pesos deducted from my budget that's why from 320 it will turned into 310 pesos.
Jeepney - 20
This is the ride that I have to take to be in the main of our city. It cost 20 pesos from here to there because we will be passing through different baranggay that's on our way. In these ride I suddenly saw 2 of my batch mates from Junior High school. At first I didn't really notice them because I was busy looking for the fare money in my wallet then suddenly one girl calls my surname and to my surprise it's them. They immediately ask me where I am headed to and I just answered that I will take an entrance exam for college and I asked them where they are going but it turns out that they will just hang out.
Honestly even though I don't want to hangout outside a lot I am quite envious from others that affords to hang out whenever they want but yeah this is my life I know it's different from everyone that's why I am just continuing my life because it is what it is. Well going back to the story after I greeted them back they told me a little more story because I am quite close to one of them because we've been classmates from Grade 7-10. After a while we already arrives in the main of our city that's why they just said good luck for me in my exams and then we already part ways. From my 310 money that was left I just have 290 pesos left.
Taking Photos - 60 pesos
After I got off from the jeep I directly to the photo taking studio nearby. I was in the rush because I thought there will be a lot of people good thing that there was no other customers that's why I quickly got shot by the photographer. I just choose the 60 pesos one because it already have 1x1 and 2x2 pictures thar I need plus it's already 4 copies each that's why I have a lot of spare. That's why from my 290 pesos it turned into 230 pesos.
Things that I need - 45 pesos
After I was done in the photo studio I quickly go the cheapest bookstore in here that's also near the photo studio and I brought things that need to bring. Those were 3 long folders, 2 long brown envelope, and 1 long plastic envelope. I go the cheapest store here because I am already scared that I might not have enough money to get home. That's why I am being mindful on everything I am spending. The remaining money I have for now is 185 pesos.
Another Tricyle - 20 pesos
This is the last ride that I have to reach the university. I am glad that it's the last ride already because now I only have 185 pesos. It took so long for me to get inside the university but I will tell about it on my other article but for now I will just focused on how I budgeted my money.
After I got inside it took me too long to wait for my schedules because my original schedule was 12 to 1 but it was adjusted to 1-2 that's why I waited for too long because I arrived inside the university around before 11 but I have to wait for too long. Some of the students that I am having a same schedule with have brought their lunch first but I can't buy lunch because I only have 165 pesos and I didn't know if there's a sudden fee or expenses that I have to spent with that's why even though I am quite hungry already I just bare it because it's not too bad.
Bottled Water - 22 pesos
You might think that it was so expensive for a bottled water because it really is hahahhaha. In the cafeteria of this university they have a different selling price for students and staffs than other people. They are adding much higher prices on the students or people that doesn't go in this University. Since we are not still a student of this university we are still not exception of this discount.
Just like this Bottled water they are selling it to the students for 15 pesos while they sell it to us by 22 pesos. They are taking advantage of the so long distance of the stores that was near outside the university and the line that you have to wait again to enter back. It's lunch time already some of the students decided to buy lunch in the cafeteria even though it's expensive the original rice meal that the cafeteria is 50 pesos but they are selling it to us for 70 pesos.
Most of the students that was in the same schedule as I am have someone they know like friend that also have the same schedule as they do and the rest have a parent/s that was with them that's why I am so awkward because I am the only one that doesn't know anyone. I will pass forward it to the after exam already because I will make an article about my experience later hahaha. That's why from my 165 pesos it became 143 because of the water.
Transportation Back Home- 40 pesos
After I've the exam I just straight back home because I am tired and starving already. I just took the tricyle back to the main of the city and jeepney back to our Barrangay. I just walked when I got off the jeep because I also need some time to think because of what happened before the exam that really affects me. I also call my brother to ask if there are still any food because it's already 3 to 4 pm in the afternoon already. I am glad that I didn't pay for anything more in the university because the last time I took entrance exam for Senior High school in my current school I paid a fee for the exam afterwards.
400 pesos down to 103 pesos
The end total of my expenses for that day of entrance exam came from 400 pesos down to 103 pesos which means that I've spent a total of 297 pesos the whole day I think I spend the money that I have pretty wisely because even though I am hungry at least I managed to have some money left because after I eat I leave the house immediately to pick up something and good thing that I still have a leftover money with me because this is a personal item that I have to pick up from all the way back to the main city.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I've been pretty disappointed in myself lately because I can't write or keep out from being active here and in Noise. Well the main factor of it is because of school but I can also consider that I have some new responsibilities while here in my grandfather's house and I can also include me being just too lazy because there are some free times that I have that I could spend in writing but I rather choose to do other things. Well some of those things make sense but there are also some that completely can be called laziness. Well there's no totally excuse from being like this because everyone is also busy with their lives but they can still manage to have time for it that's why I will just do my best to keep up. Thanks again and have a nice day ahead.

Unexpected Schedule
Good day everyone I am back here again after a few days again of inactivity. For today's article I just want to share something that happens to me unexpectedly this last Sunday that really shock and woke me up in the evening.
Since last week I've been doing some activities outside our house because I have to take care of some papers and since I am going in the city I also use this chance to get some of my requirements for admission requirements in College from my school because the transportation cost is really something plus I also have some free time I'm running those errands for my father.
I don't know if I already shared it but I just want to share that in our City there's only 2 college universities that offers free education because of the Law that was made a few years ago. The rest of the Colleges around here including the school that I am going in right now have hepty high tuition fees. And since we can't afford that I will just have to study in the free universities because why not I don't really mind where I will study as long as I am finishing my studies and getting a degree.
One of the school that I am talking about started there online admissions last June 1. Almost all of my batch mates that goes in the different school I am there are already done with their school year and already graduated but in our school we are still not finished. That's why I can't get all the requirements that I need to pass in the online website of the admission of the university that I am trying to enroll with. That's why I sent some emails to the university admission office about my concerns and why I can't still pass my requirements.
And good thing that they understand that some requirements wasn't still available that's why they just give me something as an alternative for the meantime that I can request in my school and I just have to follow it up later when the requirements where already available.
My batch mates already sent their admission requirements in June 1 because after the requirements was approved they will set up a date for us to take an entrance exam. One of my classmates that pass their requirements last June said that the First batch of scheduling was already done that's if I pass my requirements right now I maybe be scheduled to exam next week or in the end of the month. That's why I confidently pass my requirements in the website because I thought that I will have some spare time to study for upcoming entrance exam.
I finished filling up all the information needed and uploading the requirements online then I received an email confirming my admission and it also said that in the email that I just have to wait until they sent me another email for the schedule of my entrance exam. Since I am already done with passing my requirements I already turned off my brother's laptop because I also doing something. And I am already done and I don't have anything to do in that laptop.
Some of my batch mates was already have their own schedules for their own entrance exams because I seen them chatting in our old group about their schedules and most of them is scheduled in this week. Since I just registered I am not really worried about it and I at least want to do around 3-5 days to review because I don't know if the entrance exam where gonna be hard or not.
When I am eating dinner I feel a little strange and urge to check my email account for no reason at all. That's why right after I finished washing the dishes I immediately check my email account because it was also in sync with the Tablet that my brother have. And I am so shocked on what I saw. There's an email from the University that I already have a schedule for examination and that was already tommorow. I read it too many times to make sure if that was real and I didn't misread it and it was really true.
At that time I don't really don't know what to do because I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't review and I don't have money because my father wasn't giving us money and I use my remaining money to pay for the requirements that I requested in my school a few days ago. I really don't know what to do the spare money that I only have in my wallet was 50 pesos and that won't be even enough for transportation cost. That's why I just borrow 350 pesos from my brother for have money for transportation and some more things that I need.
Since I was so shocked I don't know what to do that's why after I resolved my issue regarding the money I just put right ahead in my phone and search the videos about the sample test exams or reviewers for the entrance examinations. I started around 8 pm and I finished around 2 am. Since I am now sleeping in the same bedroom with my brother I can't study there that's why I am studying in the kitchen where it is so cramped but it was also good because it like almost in outside so that I can continue studying for hours.
I just stopped around 2 am because my grandfather got up to drink some water and he saw me there. He was angry because it's already 2 in the morning and I am still awake. And he also asked why I am studying in so little space when there's a big table inside.
I know that I can just study there but if I go there and study everyone in the house will know that I am there and be affected because I have to turn on the lights and they can see it all. That's why I just choose to study in the kitchen so that I won't disturb anyone that was sleeping.
But my grandfather is angry and it's already 2 am that's why I just decided to call it for a night and sleep because I also have to wake up early for tommorow.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am not really expecting for me that day to be scheduled immediately in the entrance exam that's why I can't write anything these past few days. In my next few articles I will try to tell all about my story. Thank for reading again. Good bye 😊.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology or Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Good day everyone I apologise for being inactive again this past 4-5 days I just been out of the house those two days taking care of some important things. I am so tired when I came home that's why even though I want to write I just doing some activities that needs to be passed that's why I don't have a lot of time to write as well as there's a lot of problems right now in our house that I don't really know what to do. Our school year is about to end and I will be done in Senior High in this month or next month.
But with the end of this problem another sprouted out 😅. Since I am now done in Senior Highschool I have 3 choices right now that I am thinking and those where to take BSIT, to take BSBA Major in Financial Management and lastly to stop/pause in studying for college. The first two is just me picking the course that I will take but the last one is because of our currently family issue.
Why I did say that I will stop/pause to go in College and that is because of financial problem that we are having. As you may now I shared about my father being jobless for months now and it looks like he have no intention to work for a long time again because he just work in small jobs like wiring and stuffs but that's rare to happen it's just like once or twice a week when he works. That is why I am thinking for months now to stop studying college and work first to try to help my brother graduate from College first because I am not sure if my father would apply for a proper job again and if his not into it. It will be hard for both me and my brother to stop in the middle of the school year specially my brother will be at his 3rd year in college.
That's basically why I have so many for to tell about it but this is not my main topic for today that is why we will focus on the topic on what course to choose if I will hypothetically will go to college.
BSIT or BSBA
To be honest neither of this is two is my dream job back then. Well aside from my dream to employed as a CEO and became super rich quickly which is not possible 🤣 because it's not even close to the reality that I had I've been thinking to be either in this two back then: be in the Medical field (Doctor preferably) or to be Engineer. Yeah I think these two is one of the basic dreams of the students when they were younger. But what got me into thinking of this 2 courses above to be my choice in taking path for my college journey.
BSIT
Well I choose BSIT or the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology because it's one of the job that they say that is trendy and "in demand" because we are now in age of modern technology and having sufficient knowledge about this will be really helpful because the possible jobs that might be possibly be offered in the future is mostly IT or Computer related works and I am also considering if I want to take computer related course I might also want to look into Computer Science because my friend has been bugging me about it. He said that it would be a better choice to make I almost say yes to me until he said that we should go to the same school together but I can't go into his school because it have a tuition fee. I just want to study in the school that have no tuition fee because it might be a problem if I suddenly cannot pay tuition because of financial problems.
I searched for the possible jobs that I might get if I take this as my course and they seem good but I am not sure if I can be hire with those because I tried to check to the availability of that jobs in various online job applications and I rarely seen one that is looking for that specific jobs and most of the jobs available were physical labor jobs.
BSBA
My second choice was BSBA or Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Financial Management. In this one it's actually never came across my mind in the past few years and it just appeared in last few days because of the seminar that we had one of the speaker in that seminar he had graduated in Business Administration course and he was now a successful business owner. Well I do know that doesn't guarantee that I can be successful as he is but as I asked other people about it they said it was a good course because I can be a normal working employee in the office.
And in drama that's what typical adult do but I do know that is what it actually like in real life. I am still contemplating on what will I do in my life because I can't really understand anything right now. I am just trying to take of it one by one.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article I am not active these past few days because of things that keeps going in. I don't know why I am being stressed out even with these things but yeah what can I do I just have to deal with it. I will try to be active here and Noise in next few days because I know I am will be much busier because we in the near end of this school year.

Self Heating Rice Meals
https://youtu.be/Iw4MlN07Zo4
***Have also encountered these self heating rice meals back when the Pandemic started?***
I remember that these self heating rice meals and every other self heating things got trending in YouTube and I am one of the persons that got crave because of the videos that I am constantly seeing in YouTube. One of the YouTubers that I am seeing that creating a lot of this kinds of videos is Dancing Bacon. They are posting a lot of different types of food contents like grocery shopping in one store or in a convience store, trying out some foods in the restaurants or parks and trying new products or uncommon products to their eyes.
Last 4.4 sale I convinced my brother to buy this self Heating rice meals because I encountered this to my recommendation in Shopee and that time I have an extra money to spare that's why I convinced him to also buy this product. The one that is worth of 125 pesos was the one that my brother got while the other two belongs to me. This order was delivered so fast it's just like 1 or 2 days of waiting right after I've ordered it then it was delivered immediately.
This was the photos when it was delivered. It was packed safely and the products is still intact. Right after it was delivered my brother immediately tried his own self heating meal because he was also excited about the process of it. While I just stored mine first because I still don't feel like eating it already. I noticed that I have a weird hobby or doings compare to anyone else because most of the time when people's received their parcels they will open it immediately and tried it out while for me I can just put the parcels aside when I know that it wasn't that important. I even got to the point that the parcel was delivered 2 weeks ago but I will just open it now. It's not like I am doing this purposely sometimes I am busy and I just said that I will open later but most of the time I am just forgetting it afterwards.
It's just today that I decided to eat my self heating meal for specifically no reason at all. This is the contents of the set meal. I just put the rice and the viand together then I add up the water that was in the packet. Then I just put some tap water in the lower part or the main base of the set and I opened up the thing that heats up when you added water into it. Then I just the bowl at the top and cover it with it's lid. I want to take a video of this process but I am currently attending classes when I am cooking this
When I was eating this I can't really describe the taste because the packaging said it was a braised pork but all I am eating is just vegetables which is quite understandable but I just really can't describe the taste. Maybe also one of the factors why I can't enjoy it that much because the rice is undercooked. I am so confused because I followed the 15 minutes cooking time it even exceeded that time because I didn't bring it out immediately because I am waiting for the class to finish because I eat it.
When my brother came home I asked him why mine tasted like that then I just told him what I do. He said that I shouldn't add the Viand to the rice before cooking and I will just add it after while for it to be heaten up a little I can just put the packet of the Viand in the top where steams comes out.
I really didn't know about it because the one that I am watching before it they put it immediately but well since my brother already tried it already. I will just do as he said when I eat the next one. I am planning to also eat it this week because I don't want it to be stock more any longer.

Good bye, See you again
Good day everyone here I am again 😁. For today's article I just want to write about a little lunch party that we have this afternoon to say a goodbye with my uncle and his family because they are going back in Qatar already to continue their work and daily lives there.
After of so many stuffs happening in our family I am glad that it may or may not end up good depends on whose perspective we are taking of. After so many misunderstanding and fights that I am gonna sugar coat because most of it is because of my father and our current situation right now. The unknowingly facts, rumors,fights and non-stop things that keeps going around our family that gives me a lot stress this past few months that not just affect our own family but as well as other people around us and dear to us.
This problems that we are suffering isn't done yet but I hope that the silent fight will stop already within our family and relatives because I can't take it anymore. Well my dramas and my family matters is not the main topic for today's article that's why I will proceed to my original topic which is about my uncle and his family that will go home in Qatar to end their nearly a whole month vacation here in the Philippines.
My father and Uncle have been a pretty good argument about us that's why I am contemplating if we will go to my grandfather's house today but I think even though they are in argument right now I think they just decided to let it slide today because it's the last time that my uncle and his family was here in the Philippines and it may take so many years before they go back here and take a vacation again.
This is the only picture of the foods that I took because I didn't manage to take a picture of all the foods because I was pre-occupied on the movie that we are watching in my grandfather's new Television. Right after we arrive in my grandfather's house we are still waiting for the other people and other foods to arrive that's why they just opened up the Television so that we will have something to do while there's anything to do yet. But first I just help a little bit in preparing on what needs to be prepared.
Then I started to watch also I was too focused in the movie because it's a Sci-Fiction/ Horror Movie I just forgot the title but it's good. We watched it on Netflix because unlike my grandfather's old Television his new Television is now capable of Netflix and YouTube that's why we are just using it because my grandfather doesn't know how to use Netflix in the Television that's why they don't actually use it.
As we are watching the children's is just playing with each other. And as the time pass by some people started to arrive in the house same as the foods because some of the foods is just delivered because they don't want to cook because it's a sudden plan. We just eat and eat their after some guest go home already we family members and relatives just stay there.
We mostly doesn't do anything they just talk and talk to each other. While I am just quite because I am using my grandfather's WIFi to download something to watch on because I can download as much my storage can go because it's a WIFI and I don't have to worry about the data consumption.
Around 2 pm we are still there they are just doing the same things as before same as I do I just keep on downloading videos. Then my cousin suddenly goes in to my grandfather's refrigerator to find some desserts and there's still a cake that's why that's why they took it out.
After uncle saw it he asked if we wanted some ice creams. That's why he asked my father if can buy some in the convience store nearby. I tag along because I want to ride my Uncle's new car that he was using while he was in the Philippines. My uncle just gave my father some money and we head out after just a few minutes we arrived in the convience store because it's just really near here. Just around 10-15 minutes drive.
After we get out of the car we immediately go inside to look into the ice cream freezers there's a lot of choices of ice cream to choose from but when we arrived there we just remembered that we forgot to ask about the flavor they want that's why while my father is talking in my Uncle on the phone I just go ahead and look around more.
They just told that they want chocolate that's why I am just one that decides what the flavors would be because most of it have chocolate that's why it wasn't really a problem. I just picked out the one that I want then we just go to the counter and pay for it then leave because it's our only priority of going there.
This is the flavors that I picked up I don't know if this is enough because there's a lot of children but I yeah it's just what I picked out. Well I am also supposed to picked another one while in the store but my father said that they specifically said that they want the Selecta brand while the other one that I picked out is Magnolia.
After we arrive at my grandfather's house we just open it up immediately but it was still frozen. But the children is impatient that's why my brother just forced to scoop into the ice cream and distribute it on the children one by one.
We just continue on that then one by one we also started to go home. But of course before we go home we assured that we helped out in cleaning because there's a lot of dishes to do and we don't want to just leave it like that plus I also got a lot of foods for our dogs and cats. My uncle just give us a ride to home because they are going to his wife's family house because there are staying there as for the moment.

What has Life taught you Recently? And My 4th Month
Good day everyone I feel bad in myself that I wasn't able to write and interact again yesterday because I am just currently dealing with something again and I just can't really help but to think about it the whole night and day. Until now I am still in the process of thinking things out because I don't want to make a wrong decision or believe in something that I might regret later on. Enough of drama today I will just answer some questions again that I found in the site that Ms. @Ruffa wrote around weeks or months ago but I am pretty sure that I also wrote and answered some questions from this site before.
But first I just want to share that today was my 4th month of using Read.cash already I didn't really thought that I will end up using this for this long time period because before I thought that I will be just motivated to write in the 1st or 2nd month of using but I already reached my 4th month here already in this platform. It's nice to be able to read others people stories about their personal life or the the simple literary works or fictional stories that everyone have to tell. I look forward to read more article about others in the more following months.
365 Deep & Thought Provoking Questions to Ask Yourself (& Others)
Let's go to the main topic of this article. Same as the first one article that I wrote about this I will just get a random questions from this site and I will try to answer all of the questions that I picked honestly. If you also want the try it out you can access the questions in this **link**. https://bucketlistjourney.net/365-thought-provoking-questions-answered/
47. What has Life taught you Recently?
I think life recently taught me and keeps on teaching me repeatedly for a long time that my life is different from others. To be honest when I was growing up I am always trying to not to compare myself or anything to other people because we are different but in the recent events that is happening in my life. I can't help but to compare and envy other people. But I do think one of the lesson that life also taught me recently is that think properly and use my proper judgement.
I am contemplating about a lot of things right now that I can't just react on how I really feel because I don't want to do or say something that I might regret later. I am just keep using my proper judgement and thinking on what I will do or can I do in this situation because I can't really handle this current events that is coming through my life. I tried to stay positive and always think if I am trying person in that situation but I just really can't help to feel sad and angry about it.
I am just keep thinking that other people also have their own problems and try to cheer myself up which is by thinking that other people might experiencing something much worst than I am experiencing and I have no right to be down because of my problems cause others keeps on going in their lives no matter what their problems that they are facing.
71. What’s the one thing you’d like others to remember about you at the end of your life?
To be honest I actually thought about this a long time already. My personality in real life is actually really weird because I am quite quiet, so noisy and talkful on others, being easily irritated and angry and quite funny & friendly on others. Basically my personality is so weird that others have hard time to deal with that's why a lot of cousins and other family members don't like me or being so awkward on talking into me as well as in my friends sometimes I feel like they can't really know what I am thinking.
But to answer that question I really like for people to remember me as fun person that smiles in challenges of life. We actually done this activity back when I was in Grade 10 student in ESP. Which theirs a name in the top of the paper and it will be passed randomly so your classmates will write something that they always remember when they heard my name or see me.
Actually I don't know where did I put that paper but I can still remember everything that was wrote in it. I can remember that most of the answers in the paper is saying that I am hardworking, intelligent, and kind. But I know that those were just not actually true and I feel like those people weren't even honest or they wasn't really interested in me and even though others might be really happy when they knew that other people remembers me in that way and I am actually happy with that but I just can't really feel like they know me at all.
But I also remember 3 people/my classmates wrote that when they remember or heard my name they can remember that I am happy person even though that I have a little bad temper and gets irritated immediately they can still remember that I am happy guy that still smile and happy no matter what situation. At first when I see this comment of them about me I actually said they are so plastic 😂 but when I passed that paper to my teacher when I circled up those three because I want people to remember me in that aspect. I really don't know who are those people but I hope that they keep thinking of me in that way until they knew me or until I die.
7. Do you ask enough questions or do you settle for what you know?
Most of the time I just settle on what I know. I really hate myself for being like that because most of time I always want to ask more questions about something for me to not to think it too much but I always choose to just settle on what I know and try to figure things out on my own which is actually really tiring but it if it's a life decisions or events it helps me to look or think in the every scenario that might happening which also gives me a hard time because I don't know what or who to believe it.

Leslie's Restaurant
This article is a review / sharing my experience dining in the Leslie's Restaurant a few weeks ago when we got to dine in their Restaurant. This article was a continuation of an article of my past articles that is related to our trip to Tagaytay that I publish a few days ago. So basically this like a continuation of the story that I am telling but I didn't manage to put it in the last articles because I think it will be too long.
Continuation
In my past article I talk about that when we arrived in the Sky Ranch we have a hard time to find where to dine in because it's was lunch time already and all the restaurants nearby was full and we couldn't find anywhere to eat. It took a several restaurants before we got to arrive in here. The place where we managed to have an available table was in Leslie's Restaurant.
I haven't took a lot of photos while we are still outside because I thought we wouldn't have any seats there but thankfully we managed to have a big table for us to all fit in. As soon as we arrive in the restaurant I didn't wait for my family to enter and inquire if they still have tables available instead I immediately asked a lady in the desk around the entrance where there Comfort Room was because I really need to go pee cause I've been holding it already a long time.
I totally forgot to take photos in the inside of the restaurants because I am totally occupied something in that time because my grandfather isn't feeling so well at first because of the heat that's why I didn't manage to appreciate the place at first. But as I've observed after a little time I actually saw that this is really a nice place I didn't manage the take photos in the other parts of the restaurants but I managed to take photos in the main highlight why a lot of people dine here and it was a great view of Taal Mountain/ Volcano Islands.
Isn't nice? I was so happy when I saw this view because I think it's one of the highlights of dining experience in this restaurant. I just took some photos and came back to our table. They just started ordering foods and asking what we want but I just keep saying anything that they want because I don't want to ask for anything else when I saw the menu. Well my uncle and his wife will be the one that will pay for this but it's still a little embarrassing.
I don't know if it's alright to take a photo of their menu but yeah I already took it what can I do😅. To be honest we ordered a lot of foods I just didn't manage to take photos of it. Because as soon as the foods arrive we started to eat already because it's already around 1:00 pm or something in that time and all of us is already hungry. I just waited in the table and right after a few minutes they first bring a 2 big bowls of soup and little bowls for all of us. Those was a Bulalo soup for us to warm up or considered as complimentary soup like that.
Actually the ordered a lot of foods it's just a literally forgot to take photos at first and I am embarrassed to take the photos when they already started eating. When I was waiting at our food I thought it took so long but when I look into clock that is on the wall it just actually 10-20 minutes wait until the foods is served considering that there's a lot of customers. But before the foods to arrive the drinks came first. A lot of ordered Sago't Gulaman which I shook at first because the price of it was really something it was priced around 135 pesos but I think it's just worth it because it's delicious and when my grandfather drank it he feels well because it's cold and refreshing that helps him to overcome the heat that we have. Then he ordered another glass of it because my uncle asked him if he wanted another and as soon as he finished drinking and sipping the soup he feels better that's why we chilled because my grandfather already feels better.
The foods that we eat is actually a lot these contains of : A lot glasses of Sago't Gulaman, Mango drink, Canned Soft drinks, 2 Big Bowls of Bulalo, 2 plate of Sisig, 1 plate of Barbecue, 1 plate of Enchalandang Talong, 1 plate of Liempo, Kare- Kare, 2 family size of Rice and I am not sure if this all of it. Because we are sitting in the 2 tables that was just connected together for all of us to fit in.
As I am eating actually I am trying to calculate the price of it first but I do think that even though the foods is kinda pricey I am pretty much sure that other place may cost a lot more because my Uncle said that it was cheaper there unlike to the one that they dine before so I just stopped to think about it because I am the one that will pay for it. So basically we just eat and eat I tried to eat as much as I can because it's was really good like the Bulalo it's good but I do think that it will be much tastier if the weather was cold unfortunately it's hot in their but still it's was a pretty good food to eat.
I managed to finish to eat so fast because unlike most of them I am a fast eater that's why when I am done eating I just started to eat just the viands and not eat rice because there's still a lot of foods in there. To be honest when we finished eating there's a lot of take out food that we got because even though the foods in our place is all cleared out in the spot where my uncle, his wife,kids,my grandfather and step grandmother was still a lot of foods because they eat so little. We make to sure to take out all the left over foods because they said that we pay for them the restaurant is actually nice be they refill the soup in the Bulalo they were take out. We also bring the canned soft drinks that we didn't drink because at the regular store I think it only cost around 30-40 peso per can or even lower but we pay 85 pesos each can that's why we will definitely take it out because it's still unopened.
When I am finished eating and I don't want to eat anymore I just have a look around the restaurant. Actually it was really good restaurant because they have a little fish pond but o didn't take a photo because there's a lot of people in there same as the design inside it's a wide open space and I go back in the place where you can take a photo of Taal Volcano and take a lot more photos because why not it's my first time to see and I am not sure when is the next time.
After a little more time some of my family members already started to come because there done eating and they took a lot of photos using this view as the background. Actually I didn't post anything about this trip in my Facebook because I don't want anyone to see me that I am in somewhere because we are pretty busy in school in this momenta and I here in Tagaytay chilling out 🤣.
As I am taking photos of the scenery I just noticed that aside from Filipinos there's also a lot of foreigners around me. And actually it's my first time to talk in a foreigner because one couple asked if I do mind to take a photo for them and I just said yes because it's not really a big deal. I am just amazed and quite nervous because I am uncomfortable to speak in anyone and their telling me something good thing I didn't shutter or my English didn't stop and I managed to talk to them nicely. I am really nervous that I might look like weird but I managed to talk to them well because personally I don't have any issues in speaking English I just have a problem talking to others or speaking in the large amount of crowd whether it's English or our Mother tongue language.
After some more time I just go back in the table I saw my uncle paying for the bills while we are waiting for the takeouts but I didn't think about how much it's cost because I am pretty sure that other restaurants around here is much more expensive. And I am not the one that will pay all the thing that I do is eat😁.
After that we just go back to the car and start the ride to go home. It's a little disappointing that we didn't get to chance to get inside the Sky Ranch but this was a fun, enjoyable, and fulfilling experience for me.
Conclusion
Well as for the conclusion of this article I can pretty much recommend this Leslie's Restaurant to dine in if you ever got to visit in Tagaytay. This restaurant serves delicious foods and the most important thing is the amazing view of Taal Volcano in the balcony or in the back of the restaurant. This restaurant is prefect if you are finding delicious food but much more budget friendly place to eat there. You may view it a little pricy but I am pretty sure that other restaurants around here is cost more than this plus you can get to have a good view in this restaurant.

Disappointing Month but Let's try harder!!!
This month was I might say that one of the disappointing, tiring, and stressful month for me this year. I don't want to say that it's my worst month of the year because we are just going through the 1st part of the year and there are still a lot of months before this year ends that's why I am still positive that good things will happen in the next few months in my life because God is good he may give me a hard time but I am sure that good things will come I will just trust him and do whatever I can to improve and overcome anything that might come in the future.
In this first part of my article I want to list down things that gave me a lot of reasons to think that I am having such a hard time. This is not to be overdramatic or something I just want to list down and be aware on what really happening in my life this month because everyday is a new is always a new problem.
Negative Things/ Events
My Father
I know that if you might read this you may not have an idea on what I am talking about because there are a couple of people that read that article about me ranting all my problems about my father these past few months but yeah I just don't want to talk about it because I just feel stressed is going throughout my body when I am thinking about it.
School
To be honest even though I am pretty much pressured and stressed about school it's the thing that I can totally manage. I don't want to say that I am quite immune or used to problems about school and stress that it gives but I can pretty much say that I might certainty do. I just like to rant all about it because it's my reliever from all those toxic thoughts that I am getting when I am doing it. I like to rant about it but I am fully sure that I will do it because things in school may give me a lot of hard times but it also teaches me a lot if lessons not only in the certain knowledge and learnings that I have to learn but also in the things in life that something that can't be teach but can be naturally learn by myself having to experience it.
Unreached Goals
I am really bothered with this one because I am always trying to say to myself that I will do better next month and will reach my goals but even though I can't always hit them I am somehow close to what I am expecting but this month was a total lose for me. Before the month start I set my own goals that I want to achieve in Read and Noise but unfortunately I didn't even get to even reach the half my goals for this month.
Even though I know to myself that I have a completely reasonable things to say about these things but I just can't help to feel disappointed in myself about it because I also know to myself that I can do better than this. You might think that this goals is something related to the money well it's true but I also have some goals like to read a lot of articles and interact in the platforms but I can pretty much say that I that I totally failed with this. As for earning part I want to be completely honest that how much disappointing I am to my performance because I didn't get a lot of viewers to read my works because I am always saying to myself that I will try to write something not related to me but I always ended writing about all the things that happened to myself and all my rants about my life even though I am not proud of this I can say that I am happy in what I am writing because I am considering it as my diary even though it's the internet where a lot of people can see it I am feeling much comfortable to tell about it because this is something I can't really do in real life. I always tend to keep to myself all the things I am going through or the problems that I am thinking about because I am afraid that those people that I know will judge me whatever they want and I don't want that because it's a hurtful thing to hear and think about when someone that I care said something that might hurt me and I don't want my problems be the cause of misunderstanding in anything.
Being Sick
Well this something that I can say pretty much normal to me because I can be sick a pretty much couple a time in a year but I am always experiencing that at least once a year I will be sick for a couple of days and in my case this year is more than a week even though I still have a cough and a little runny nose I can say that I feel much better. Because I experienced once before I just can't remember the year being sick for 2-3 weeks and I am almost absent for the whole month that time in school.
Me being sick is something that I really hate because I can't do anything. I can't think properly, do simple chores I am used to do, being paranoid the whole time, and a lot more. This sicknesses that I went through this month gave me a lot of problems that I am trying to cover up these past few days to be able to catch up even little by little.
Note to myself:
In this article I just want to say to myself that even though I have a lot of things that doesn't go in my way I just want to tell to myself that everything will be better soon. If you are reading this you might think I am weird writing note to myself that trying to cheer up and lift my spirits up on my own. Well I just have to do it because I don't have anyone that will do this thing other than me. You know self support 😅.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I just want to say that I will try to do better in all things in the next following months not only here but also in my life. I hope that anyone that reading this right now have a nice and happy life right now. But if you don't let's just work hard try until he will give us something that that we want because he was just there and I know that he was watching all the hard work that you are doing.

Trip to Tagaytay
Good day everyone I didn't get a chance to write anything these past few days because I am trying to catch up to everything that I need to do. I am barely even open my noise and other social media platforms because the whole I am writing activities, doing some house chores, attending classes, trying to draw for activities and communicate with some of my classmates for our group work that's need to be done immediately. Today I will continue my article about our trip to Tagaytay City. Here's the Part 1 of the article if you want to read it **Let's go to Tagaytay**. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/lets-go-to-tagaytay-42619836
My last article ended with us traveling to Tagaytay. To be honest I don't know what we are going to do there. But it's free and all I have to do is just go with them that's why not 😅. But to be honest if I really understood where are we going and who will be accompanied to I might declined to go even though I never got to Tagaytay because maybe I will think that staying at home is much better because I can do a lot of work. In the other hand while I am in the car I also think that maybe I also need this because I am too stressed out about all the things happening in my life especially in our family its pretty messed up that's why a little break time would be also good.
I will continue the story about the travel I apologise for a little me time in that passed passage 😅. We been stuck in the pretty bad traffic that's why the driver the driving the car that I am in which is my father is annoyed. But I barely even notice because I am attending classes and I try to focus on what the teachers is saying because those things is pretty important. After a while I think we finally moved little by little and the next thing is my father said that we are quite near already that's why I took a photo there. I don't know what Nuvali is but I remember that someone talks about it to me before. I remember that he/she is telling about the malls and stuff in there I just can't really remember who and when did he/she tell me about it.
When we got into the Tagaytay my father called my uncle to ask about where are we going. I was so surprised to know when he said that we are going to the Sky Ranch because my classmate told me about it once but I never got to here and it's my first time. I remember from her story about the Ferris wheel and stuff that's why I got a little excited because the amusement park that I ever got to is just Star City and the one from Zambales and both of them are when I was in field trip in Junior High school.
When we got to the Amusement park we are still in the car because they decided to eat first. But I got excited about going there that's why even though I am already quite old in these things I still want to experience it. They find a restaurant where we can eat because we are all hungry. We tried so many restaurants but we are just all U-turning because when we got in Tagaytay it's Lunch time already that's why most of the restaurants is full.
We managed to find one. But I am gonna write a separate article about it because I have so many things to tell about the restaurant that we got to go. We managed to have a spot in the restaurant that we find but something happened. As soon as my father got out in the car he feels so dizzy that's why my uncle was so annoyed and worried about my grandfather because I can see that he can't really focus. That's why we just eat in the restaurant and leave.
There initial plan to go the Sky Ranch was changed because my uncle is worried to my grandfather. The reason I think that affects my grandfather feeling might be these 2 which is the following: **Long Distance Travel** my grandfather must be tired from the travel because it's so far from our place. **The weather** to honest I am expecting to cool or cold here in Tagaytay but it's an opposite because it's too hot and I a sweating even though I am in the air conditioned car. My grandfather must be also shocked my the weather because it's so cold in their vechicle when I got to go there while I am helping to load the ice that we bought from the convience store. Inside their vechicle is so cool that's why it's good to be there.
After we eat we just take some pictures and leave to go home. I am quite disappointed because it's like we travel just to eat but I also agree in my uncle decision because I also don't want to go in the Amusement park if my grandfather will just stay in the car because of the weather that's why I am also alright with this. In the way back home we experienced some difficulties but we managed to get home even though it's already evening. I am pretty much asleep during on the way back home.

Thank you for reading this article. I apologized again for being not active I promised that I will really try to work hard next month to fulfill all my absentees this past few weeks.
Let's go to Tagaytay
Good day everyone for this article today I just want to share my first time experience in going to Tagaytay city which is located in the province of Cavite. But first let me tell a little bit about the Tagaytay City. Tagaytay is one of the known tourist spots in Calabarzon region because of its mild cold climate and the clear view of the Taal Volcano in its vicinity.
But before I share about this travel I just want to apologise for being not active this past few days because I became so busy with personal things and family gathering/bonding and then after that I became sick. Until now I didn't feel so well but I am much better than my state this past few days. So Let's start with my article for today.
Now I want to share why I did I go to Tagaytay. Last Friday morning I am waken up by my father because our Uncle decided to go to Tagaytay because they want to wander around while they are still here in the Philippines. They just suddenly decided to go there that's why almost all of us is not ready or can't go because they have there own plans. I am woken up my father to ask if I want to go around 4:30 around that time I just slept a few hours ago because I am awake until 3:00 am because I am doing my activities.
I am still light headed and I didn't understand what he was saying that's why I just said yes. He immediately command me to take a bath and prepare immediately. I just stand up and go the bathroom immediately and take a bath then prepare myself. Around 5:00 we leave our house and went to my grandfather's house. And we managed to leave our grandfather's house around 5:30 we are in two cars. We are total of 9 adult people and 2 children in the cars.
In the car that I am in we are 5 people because it's just a small car while in the other car is the rest because it's a bigger car plus that one was automatic and have a strong ac that was driven by my uncle because it's his new car here in the Philippines. After we start driving I just fall asleep because I am still so sleepy. I just woke up around 8:30 - 9:00 am because we are already stuck into the traffic. That photo above is the place that we've been stuck when I woke up.
When I wake up I saw that there are some Food take out already for our breakfast. I guess they already take a drive thru for our breakfast threat my uncle without me even knowing. I am sorry for this I literally have so little of sleep those past few days because I am always so busy in doing my Academic works plus continuous classes. And to be honest this is the only time that I asked where are we really headed to because to be honest when my father is waking me up that morning the only thing that I understand is to get ready, we will go somewhere, and we are gonna be a long drive.
And this is the only time I know that we are going to be Tagaytay. My cousin asked me why I didn't know while I am in the car and dressed. I just told him that I forget 😂. I am never been to Tagaytay even once because it's quite far from our place and I am not always with them when they are in the vacation that's why they are already go there a plenty of times while it's my first time.
After a few minutes they decided to stop by a convience store to buy some stuffs. Since this was unplanned trip we just bought snacks and drinks from the convience store. The things that we bought consist of Bottled waters, soft drinks, energy drinks, chips, other snacks, bread, ice cubes and candies to snack on while on the road.
I don't know where is this place. But if I heard and remember it right it was a express high way or something but I don't really know where because in this time I am attending in class. I was so nervous this time because I am scared that they might ask us to open our camera. And I don't want anyone to know that I am in the car while attending in class. Because it might caught the attention of others and I don't like it 😅.
Author's Note:
I just want to say that I am really sorry for these past few days because it's been a week since I last wrote an article and I am barely online in this platform and noise. The reason for that I became busy with family gathering that I will share in the next couple of my articles. And the ultimate reason why is because I got sick so hard. I am sick since Sunday and now is already Thursday but I am still not fully alright. I am so scared because it might be something serious and I am also trying to keep up at school because the more I look to my unfinished activities and projects the more I feel sick. But I promise that I will try to be active again both in Noise and here.
Thank for reading everyone I will continue this article tommorow about our trip to Tagaytay.

How I budget my Time these days?
Good day everyone I apologize for not being so active and not been able to write yesterday I am just so busy that I didn't manage to write an article. Well, as you know I have countless activities and final projects that I am doing as of the moment, and I am still attending with classes to that's why I am budgeting all of my time this past few days. Every morning I wrote my schedule that I have to follow for the rest of the day. And for my today's article I want to share things that I do to be more productive in my school works.
Uninstalling Mobile Legends
I decided to uninstall the only game that I am playing for such a long time. I am really hesitating in doing this because when I am stressed, or I am tired I am just playing Mobile Legends to cool down and relax for a short period of time. But I realized that Mobile Legends consumes a lot of time and putting me in a harder situation where I have to panic in doing things because I relaxed so much in playing.
At first I am just planning to set a time for it but it's impossible to follow this because the game don't always end in the same time. Sometimes it may take a few minutes but there are also some times that it reaches up to half an hour or more that's why I uninstalled it at the moment to concentrate in the things that I do. I will just re-install it after this semester. For now I will just focus first in finishing this things to clear out my way.
Setting Time For Everything
I know this may sound crazy but yes I am trying to set the time for everything that I do especially in the things in that I do in my phone because it's always the one that always failed to do or the thing that consumes my time
30 minutes use of Facebook
I set myself a timer to use when I have to open my Facebook for no reason and just for entertainment purposes. I just set 30 minutes for the whole day because I need to lessen it. Personally I want to eliminate it but I also know that it won't be possible that's why I just set a timer. Every time that I will open my Facebook I just press the timer and if I want to stop I will just stop the timer and record my remaining time for the day.
1 hour of YouTube
Same in Facebook I also set a timer for YouTube because it was also something that I would be able to give up for the rest of the day.
30 minutes Noise
Same in Facebook I also set a timer in Noise that I will use to post, read and do different things in noise like interacting and giving away my FT.
30 minutes in Read
Yes I also limit my self in Read in this 30 minutes that I also a stop watch. I read and leave comments in other articles to interact and read other users articles. I just hope that Rusty will still visit my account even though I am not really active because as same as my inactive Rusty is also slowing down on me but that's alright and understandable I just really hope that there's nothing bad happened to my account while I am inactive.
1 hour to Write an Article
I also dedicated an hour a day for me to be able to write an article everyday. I just missed and unable to write yesterday because I choose to be a good friend a chat and have a conversation with my friend last because he was complaining about a lot things and I am just there to listen and criticized him🤣.
2-3 hours in Household Chores
I a lot time here because I need to do something here in the like cleaning and cooking because there's no other people that will do that's why I need to do it.
30 minutes - an hour of Nap
I also dedicated some time for me to relax or take a nap because I it's so tiring to attend in classes and do a lot of things.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. This is the draft or the main things that I always plan out for a day but this also get change everytime depending in the time of my classes or something unexpected happened but this is the things that is the main pattern that I have to do every day.

Forgotten Chocolates
Good day everyone today I will tell a quite nonsense topic but I really find it funny when this happened to me this afternoon. As you may know in my last article I shared that we went to see our Uncle last night and we got to bring things when we got home like the TV, some other things and chocolates.
I like eating chocolates before but now that I am getting older I find chocolates to be too sweet for me that's why I can't eat a lot. What I do is I just eat a little bit in the short period of time so that it won't be too sweet for me. I didn't manage to take a picture of the chocolates yesterday because I am quite busy doing some school works when my brother is dividing it. And I just received it when it was already parted.
I just put my share in my room so that I can have something to eat when I am feeling bored or anything. But while I was walking outside I saw some little kids around here again that's why I decided to just give half of my chocolates to the childrens because I know they will enjoy it much better than I do. Well it's not really a lot its just a mini-bars of chocolates. I just gave them 2 pieces each because there are 4 childrens outside.
As I am giving it one of the kids which is also the daughter of my cousin said that I still have chocolates in their freezer. At first I thought I misheard it that's why I just ask again what she said and she just repeated it. And I just laugh and said that I will get it now.
But to be honest I didn't really know that I still have chocolates there and I just remember that I ask to some in their freezer that time because our refrigerator is just small and it doesn't have a freezer because it's just a mini refrigerator that should be use for a single person but it's the thing that we use because we are just three in the house and the refrigerator is something that wasn't really a necessity for us because we also rarely have leftovers.
This is the chocolates that she was talking about. I am amazed that I didn't remember it because it's almost 2-3 months when I put it there because I got this chocolates in March and it's already in the middle of May and I am just eating it right now.
This was literally frozen solid and it can't be eaten yet because it's hard as a rock. Since I am concerned that it will just melt because I can't eat all of this today. I just stored in our refrigerator. But as I am drinking water in the afternoon I noticed that the chocolates already soften because our refrigerator wasn't cooling well.
Since I don't want to melt down I just think of something I can do with this. And I immediately thought of making a smoothie or a drink out of it. I borrowed my cousins blender and I also bought some ice. Good thing we still have some left over evaporated milk in our refrigerator that why I also use it. I apologized because I didn't manage to take a photo because I am in the middle of the class that time I just can't use my camera because I am attending classes. It's a good thing that we are off cam and muted that's why no one knows what I am doing 🤣.
In the mixture I just put some broken ice that I bought from the store and smash it myself then I add the chocolates and evaporated milk. In the first try it taste too sweet because I put all those chocolates into the mixture.
I decided to take the half first and pour it in the pitcher. In the remaining that was in the blender I just add more ice and this time I also added some salt. Yes salt I thought that it would balance the sweetness and I am right this second taste good and not too sweet that's why I already pour into the pitcher and I decided to the same in the other half that I kept in the pitcher for a mean time.
When I am finished blending I just drink and give my brother. Good thing there ate still some of my little cousins outside that's why after me and my brother got ourselves to drink I just let the children to drink all of it because it's will be just wasted if treat melted down.

2nd Hand TV
Good day everyone since I said to myself that I need to do my school works again because I stop these past few days because of my dramas in life. Today I try to be productive as I can be as possible and done many of things.
This morning I didn't use social medias, read and noise too much because I spent my time to do activities and attend my classes. While doing this I can still feel a little down, but I keep fighting myself to do it. I keep telling myself that I need to do it,, and I am also cursing myself out to do the works that I needed to do. I still have many activities, but it's good that I managed to do some. This night I just give myself 11:30 pm -12:30 to write an article, post something in noise and interact as much as I can.
In this article, I will just tell what happened to myself today. This afternoon we all went to my grandfather's house again because my uncle who is from abroad came home for vacation with his family. They don't really stay here, they just paid a visit to my grandfather. We all decided to go there just to say hi and greet each other.
We went around 3 pm there and when we arrived there, we saw that there is a little van that is from the company of installing air-conditioning into the house. My uncle decided to get the whole house of grandfather be full air-conditioned because it's so hot there and my grandfather just hangout in his room the whole day because that is the only place before that have an air conditioning.
Since he doesn't want my grandfather to stay in the room for the whole day, he decided to get the house full air-conditioned. When we arrived there the installation was almost complete that's why we help on cleaning the mess and organizing back all the furniture and sofa back in place.
This is the air conditioning that was installed in the living room. My uncle paid for all of it because his rich 😅. After that was installed we cleaned and organized things around there and after that, we unbox the new Television that he also bought for my grandfather. My uncle also bought a big Television for my grandfather because he wants my grandfather to enjoy watching in TV.
This may not seen so big but this Television was huge. I was really worried when we are unboxing because it so big. I am also scared that it might fall down because it's so big. Good thing my grandfather doesn't have any pets inside the house that's why he doesn't have to worry about it. This new Television is a smart TV that you can use this to watch Netflix and YouTube because you can connect it to the WiFi.
My uncle brought this because he wants my grandfather to watch YouTube and stuffs using the Television. As well as he doesn't like my grandfather's old Television because it wasn't a smart TV. And you guess what happened to their old TV.
Their Television is now ours hahahhaha. They just give it to us because the Television that we have is already quite old. But I am not really excited about it because my father is the only one watches TV in our house because me and my brother doesn't really watch TV. My father only watching when he got home and all his watching is about sports like basketball, volleyball and etc.
It is weird that we don't usually watch Television. The reason for this because we both have our phones we can just watch anything that we want here anytime. I just some emojis into the TV because my face is visible.
Back the story in my grandfather's house. We just sit there while all the kids are playing then my Uncle also ordered some foods for us to eat. I was so full before we go home because I eat a lot there like pizzas, chocolate ,and etc. I just didn't manage to take a photo but there's a lot of foods. That's why when we go out to go home we bring the TV, chocolates and a Cap for my father because he didn't go there.

Relieve the Stress?
Good day everyone everyone I don't like me being emotional in my past 2 articles that's why I want this one to be neutral or something not negative but I am still not sure hahaha I will just see how I feel while writing this article.
Last week as I am buying some thing in the Sari-sari I got stuck up in there for a little longer because the owner is being a "Marites" and been talking to some old people that is always in her store talking about a lot of things. Well most of them is already old that's why they're past time is to talk to each other the whole day. While I was buying something I also eardrove a little to their conversation because I am still waiting for the owner to noticed me🤣. One of the things that they discussed is that children's nowadays is just so sensitive and always just saying they are stress or something and they just said that they are just over reacting on things.
Well that time I am so stressed but I don't butt in their conversation and I just let them they also added that the children's are just too much in Technology and don't do anything that is exhausting that's why they over think a lot. As I got home I think that they judge stress and feelings so easy but I also know that they also have a point that's why I tried to exhaust myself this last 2 days. I decided to clean out our backyard.
Since all those machines and metals have been removed from their already I decided to clean it out because back then this was so clean and my grandfather and grandmother used to stay there because it was cool there because of the trees and refreshing air. First I removed all the scrap metals that have been left out there. I started around 8 am in doing this. After I removed all the metals around I also removed a lot of big woods back there. These 2 alone makes me work until 12 pm I am so tired and exhausted in this park because the size of what I am cleaning is like a size of a large park field.
It was merely impossible to clean in one day and only one person but I am determined to divert my attention into something else I just do it. I just take a little breaks from time to time to drink and use my phone a little. After taking my lunch I starts to sharpen the thing that I will use to cut those leaves and little plants. In that large amount of field I should use grass cutter because it will take me forever to finish it by hand but we don't have a grass cutter that's why I don't have any choice at all.
I started around 1:30 and I've finished 4:30- 5:00 pm but still I am not do need yet. I am literally and physically so tired yesterday because of all the work I've done but I didn't manage to finish it because there is still a little places that I haven't go through. When I go to bed last night I thought I will be sick the next morning because I am so tired but good thing I wasn't sick my body just feel sore but I can manage to do it.
That's why even though the wheater wasn't that good this morning I just finished it. Around 9 am I am started to rake all the dried leaves that I cut yesterday and today. And I am shook because it was so clean. It's been a while since I last time I saw it this clean because this place was used to be the place where we celebrate things that have to accommodate a lot people because it's cool and wide there.
One of our neighbors even noticed it and ask of what event or thing we will hold because she was asking why did I cleaned it out. And she also asked when did I start cleaning it. She doesn't believe that I started in Saturday because she said that it's really tiring to do it in just 2 days. The back of our house wasn't really something that will be noticed immediately even of our neighbors because of the big wall that separates it because this is part of the mini forest already.
I am so tired but I am satisfied with the thing I do because it's long time since I saw this place like before. I want to buy a hammock to install again because we used to have a hammock there but I don't have any money. I will just buy next time. After all of that I realized this afternoon that I maybe forget about my problems for a little bit. I just realized that I am still a stressed person full of worries and problems.
I am even more stressed right now because of all the due date of activities and projects that I have to do. That's why starting tomorrow I will just pause my drama about everything because if I still continue about it I will failed 😅. I have to deal with all of this activity and projects even though I am stressed out with a lot of things.
Author's Note:
Thanks for reading this article. I think I lost a lot of weight in this activity that I've done this past 2 days because before my tummy is blow up but I noticed this afternoon before I eat I saw that I have a little abs line 🤣. Well it's been a while since I saw that in my body but it just go away after I eat this afternoon and evening 🤣. Maybe I should do this kind of activities more often if I want to have a nice body.

Stress is Flowing Up
Good day to anyone that's reading this I just want to continue the rants and things that I wrote yesterday. I feel so such a disappointment right now because I can't be active as much as I can while it's a good time to earn some BCH while the price is still at this rate but I don't like this situation to be much longer because it's also hard when it's price will stay at this low.
Well back to the my rants and worries about my life right now😅. Yesterday I feel kinda embarrassed on what I shared good thing there isn't much of the audience that reads it. Today I just want to share more thoughts that I am been thinking lately.
Yesterday I shared about the stress we are getting from my father but now I will also want to share things that also worrying me. Our family or my father side is quite a mess right now literally. Everyone is so toxic and full of pride that's why it's also adding to so much stress I am getting right now. One example of this is my father being a childish again. This cause so much trouble to everyone. Well my uncle and his family just got back here in the Philippines today but there are not staying here there are in another province right to his wife's parents house for vacation. They will also be here for the outing that they been planning for a long time.
The initial plan of my uncle is to go to a few cities from our city to go into a mini resort/ vacation house for it to be rented because it have a house for us to accommodate and it's also have a hot spring for my grandfather and pools for us to enjoy. But my father suddenly got "tampo" I forget the English translation for that but he was so unhappy that he wasn't consulted because he always want to take part of everything. My father even ignore them all and it puts us in the ackward situation because my father keeps saying that we should go and he will just stay in the house alone etc etc.
He was acting like a child that you snatched a candy from him. Yeah my father have this weird traits and personality he was so "matampuhin" but in fact all of them have bad attitudes or little thing about their attitudes. I think it was from my grandfather because my grandfather also have this kind of attitudes but they inherit different attitudes. I think my father inherit on of the most annoying attitude of my grandfather which is I said "Matampuhin and childish". They all have bad attitudes in them but to be fair I think all of us also have some bad attitudes or traits that we get from them.
The unending battle of pride,ego and boastfulness is going around in our family I just don't want to discuss it all but from here alone I am so much stressed. You may think that it's all from my father but it also have from them I just don't want to talk about them hahahaha.
School Stuffs
As you may remember if you may read several articles of mine I like to complain about how much stuffs I am doing because it's true it's like the teachers see us a robot and they don't stop giving a lot of activities even though we still have lot and there's a big projects that we need to pass soon.
To be honest this was really nothing to me if I am not stressed about other things because I am used to do a lot of school related stuffs but I just can't do anything right now because I am so stressed and my body and mine doesn't work out. I became much more stress because it's not the right time to break out because there's a lot of deadline coming but I wasn't doing anything because I can't my body and mind can't do it that's why I need to surpass this thing immediately because the time won't wait for me I have to catch up with it.
What also really stressing me in school stuffs right now is the part of some of my classmates and past classmates. Here's the thing even though I am so busy and stressed I've been helping some of my friends that currently working but still studying in their research, projects , activities and help them if they have any questions about the lessons because they can't attend all the lessons. I am just helping 3 friends but there is a word that spreads out that I am helping other people with their works and outputs that's why a lot of people that practically I do even know much is coming to ask for help.
It's good thing if they are just asking something but they want me to do there work for them. Nahhh I won't do this but I feel kinda bad about it. Let me share a little fact that I am doing since back then. As you may know I shared a few times that I am an honor student in our batch back in Junior High school. Well back then our school have a tutoring programs and I am one of the people that helps to teach other students. I don't really talk about it to other people because I didn't do it for other things I just really want to help others.
And because of this a lot of my batch mates still messaged me sometimes to ask for their activities like math, science or etc. And I am helping them even though they go in different schools with me that's why I know some lessons that other schools took because they are asking me about it. On average I get around 4-6 messages for month in different past batch mates to ask about their own lesson. I just help them when I know about it or I can but this month I don't know there is a lot of people asking for help with me but I can't help them because I am also busy and stressed out because of my school and this makes me feel so bad about it.
I don't know what I am feeling about it. Personally I knew that I shouldn't bother to think about it but my inner self can't stay in peace knowing that they must come in me for help but I didn't even managed to help them.
There are still some personal things that I am stressed about right now but I don't want to share it. I just wanna keep this remaining things in private. I just wrote this article and the article yesterday to vent out my feelings because I can't find anyone to talk to right now honestly. I tried to chat in one of my best friend but it turns out he was stressed also and just keeps on sharing about his problems since I don't want to be burden to anyone I just didn't share it to my friends or anyone I know. I just vent it right here because no one knows who I am here.
If you know me in person I think you won't even think that I am writing this kinda of stuffs because even though I am not really a person that is so comfortable in playing or bonding with because I am always shy but in other people that know me like my classmates or friends they know me that I always try to think positive even though I have some bad attitudes 😅.
Author's Note:
This article is just full of worthless things that I am stressing about that's why it was so disorganized because I can't still organized my thoughts. I hope I feel a little better because if I don't I might fail because there is a lot for me to do right now in school and personal stuffs. Thanks for reading this.

Unmotivated Person
Good day everyone today I just want to share something that I've been feeling for the last couple of weeks. I apologized in advance if this article will be full of rants, random nonsense or stuffs that doesn't really contribute anything but I want to write it here because I have a little amount of audience here and I am much comfortable to share it because no one knows me here.
Since last month I am feeling like unmotivated and unsure in everything that I am doing. And as day passes by it just get worst and worst. You might think that it was just a being childish or what so ever and I will experience worst things in my future but I can't help to question everything right now literally in my life. The stress and tiredness builds up every day and I don't want until I don't want to deal with it anymore.
And I think today was the worst day of my missing out. Today I suddenly leave in my class this morning and I didn't attend to any of my class this afternoon and the reason is nothing. Yeah nothing I just don't feel like doing it and I think it was pretty worthless and all my efforts is just going to waste in the future. This whole day I am just staring in the blank space in my room and do nothing I am just staring there and use my phone frequently. To be honest I have a lot of things to do right now and this is not a perfect time for me to do things like this because I need to overcome this because I know it will just worsen in the next following days and months.
This feeling in me started since last month. I have a deep chat in one of my friend in here high school. This friend of mine is someone that I really look up to. Because he is one of the most academically inclined person I know. Well he was saying that I am more this thing than him because I am the consistent one in the academic performance since he knows me but to be honest I am more than happy if he was number one or at the top of me because I am really amazed in this friend of mine. He was such a good person and such a hard working people I know in fact I believe that he was the most hard working person I know until now.
This friend of mine already starts working and stopped studying. We have a deep conversation last month about this matter and he said that he will just continue studying next school year because he wasn't really learning anything. But one of the things that he said that really bothers me a lot until now is he said that " Even I graduate in College or in anything there isn't any higher possibility that my life will better in the future". I know that he said it for himself to be a motivation in his self and give him some supports in the things that he decided but this is the thing that adds up to my ton of problems and stress right now.
Well I've been hearing this a lot of times already because it was a really popular sayings which I can also say is true because I know a lot of people with a high degree but failed in life. But I didn't really expect him to say this. Because I thought the one that won't say this ever is this friend of mine because he was the one that always insist on studying back then.I thought that this thing won't bother me but this thing builds up because of the stress I am getting from myself, my family and in school.
If you are my friend in Noise maybe you won't noticed it but to be honest right now we are struggling financially in my family. My father was removed out in his job last 2 months but I just knew it this month. To be honest I am sensing this a long time ago but I thought I am just over thinking. The reason why he was removed because he doesn't work anymore to be honest. It is because he was always with his girlfriend. Yes his girlfriend you know my family was break apart because of his being a play boy and stuffs but I already accepted that for a long time ago. His boss fired him because he doesn't go to work already he is just always in her Girlfriend's house and just always out wandering around.
To be honest I am not really against in his girlfriend because she seems pretty nice and she is quite stable in life already. But this just got worst because they are acting like teens now. You know since last year there been like this. They are always in the swimming accumpanied with all the errands and stuffs that they are doing. I am not really against at it at first because I thought they are just enjoying their lives but this leads to my father not working. They are always together from day to night and they are to talking to the phone when my father is in the house.
We just have budget for every day because my father sold out a lot machineries in our house. Back then we have a little of machines in our backyard that cost a lot of money to be honest the space that it takes up you can build a Mansion with it's space and that's how big and many the machineries is and for a fact that it was kinda expensive. But my father sold it out all of it. That's why we have survived for a long time but this was not enough because my father is such a spender. Well we are also something to spend about because of foods and stuffs but it wasn't comparable in him.
If you remember the one that I said in one of my article that my father is working away it turns out they just had a vacation in other place for a week and even though it was his girlfriend's family treat I am pretty sure that he also spend there. I am also not asking anything for him I paid all things like my graduation photos, my load for studying and all things that I've shared here and in Noise with my own money. I will stop here now about my father but to be honest I still have a lot to rant about it but I don't want him to look like a bad person to others even he was in the gossips around us and I am just trying to stay still until now.
If you are also friend in Noise you might question why I still post things in Noise like we are doing fine in Financially and other problems but I don't want to share it there because I have an aunt there that views my post and I am pretty sure that she was saying all about it to my mother and I don't want her to be worry about it because all of us are already adult and I am already in legal age I should handle things without them worrying.
In me feeling unmotivated this problem in our family is just first one there is still a lot I think I should talk about it later. I am unmotivated to school and a lot things right now. Like here in my online world. I am pretty sad to see the market to crash like that and the price keeps dropping and in this past few days I am losing my motivation because the green baby wasn't visiting and all the thought that I have that I am a spam. Good thing today the green baby starts to visit me again. This one of the reasons why I am also down. There is still a lot of reasons I want to share.
Author's Note:
I will end this for now I will just continue writing this later or tomorrow because I think it's too long to read already. Just for the heads up I will continue to write about my feelings for tommorow or later article that's why if you don't want to know about it or your sick to know about it just don't read the next part because it was also problematic as this one. I don't want this thing to be my content and in fact I don't even want to use it as a content and now I am even making a part 2 about it. I just can't think of anything right now.
I apologized in venting this out here in this platform I am just much more comfortable to share it here than other people that I know because I don't want to be a burden to people I know.

Rich in the Future 2
Good day everyone today I want to continue my article that I wrote yesterday that was entitled " **What are you going to do if you got rich in the future ?"** . Yesterday I managed to write something that I want for myself now I will continue something that I want for my family and for the world. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/what-are-you-going-to-do-if-you-got-rich-in-the-future-71ae2d2c
For My Family
To buy each one of us their own house
It is weird that when I was young I want to buy everyone in my family their own houses rather than buy a big house for us to live together. Well I wrote this because back then I already understand that there's no way possible that we are going to live all together that's why my goal is to buy everyone a house. To be exact I want to buy 10 houses. 1 for me sister , 1 for my brother , 1 for my father , 1 for my mother, 1 for my grandfather, 1 for my step sister in my mother side, another 1 for my another step sister in my father side and tell other 3 is for me. I want to have 3 different houses in different locations so that I can choose where I can stay at when I am feeling bored😅.
This age maybe the start where I don't really like people around me and I am dreaming to live alone when I got older.
Build a Business for each of them
I don't know but I wrote this also down. Maybe I was thinking back then that if everyone have their own business everyone else won't be having a money problem or something to fight for each other.
To buy the Philippines
If you read my article yesterday I also said there that one of the things that I will do for myself is to buy the Philippines and for some reasons I also wrote again to buy the Philippines again 😅🤣. Well now I got the answers now because I chatted my friend this morning and I sent him the picture of my notebook that's why he also look if his notebook was still there. He found it and he laughed because he also writes a lot of nonsense there.
Today I already have an answer why do I want to buy the Philippines when I was younger and it just because of the bet with my friend 😂. He said that he remembered why I wrote it down it is because he also wrote it down on his own paper. According to his memory we are studying that time about the Philippines and other countries that time of the week in AP. And to buy the Philippines is part of our discussion back then. To be honest I didn't really remember it but he said that that's why a lot of my classmates also wrote down to buy Philippines. Now I have the answer already to my questions last night but it is so funny that we used to think that way back then.
Buy all the things that they want
Back then maybe I thought that I want to provide everything they want like things that they desire to their dreams. I don't know why I think like this when I was young but it's so nice that I use to think like this.
Buy my Grandfather a Big Farm
Well back then my Grandfather wants to have his own wide lands where he can grow things that he likes that's why maybe back then I want to buy him his own big farm but in the situation if my grandfather right this is nearly impossible even though I got rich in this time of the moment because my grandfather wasn't that strong and energetic as before like he can't sleep or step outside of his bedroom for a long time because of the air conditioning.
Buy my father a lot of Cars
I like this one when I was young because I want to give my father what he wants but now that I am quite old now or even in the future if I get rich I won't buy my father his own car because if I do in the future he won't stay in the house he will just go around and use that car for her pang -babae it was a Filipino word if you don't understand it just don't bother 🤣 it's not really something that is worth to know.
Buy my Mother a Washing Machine
I think this one is quite funny to me now. I wrote this down because the vacation before that school year I remember that I have a vacation in my mother's house and her machine broke down that's why she washes our clothes manually. Well my mother is not really a person who believe in using washing machine all the time. She will just use it for big things like blanket, curtains and etc. But as for the clothes and uniforms she washes those by hands because she said and quoted that " the washing machine don't clean them properly". Is your mother is also like this or it is just my mother.
This dream of mine back then right now is much something that it is so easy and to be honest right now my mother have a washing machine in their house and it's even a fancy washing machine. You know the one that you will have to press some buttons and like those fancy washing machine in other countries and those from the videos I've seen online. Because if your a Filipino you might know that the washing machine that we use to have if we have one is the one that have wheel or something that you have to turn to function like a timer.
For the World
End World Hunger
Well I think this one of the topics that is something that can't be removed if we want to solve for the world. I don't know but I wrote it down and I am pretty sure back then I am so honest with my feelings in what I wrote and until now I still want to end it but now I am looking for a different perspective not just giving and feeding them with food.
Give everyone a Cellphone
I don't know why but I wrote it down. Hahaha maybe because at that time not all people have their own phones like me at that time. When I was in that age I always want to have my own phone that is comparable with my classmates because at that time my phone was a keypad SKK thingy hahahhaha. But I don't know why I want everyone to have their phones.hahaha
Free Everything
I think want this time for everything in the world to be Free. I just don't know what is it have to do if I got rich but yeah I wrote it down here in the paper. Maybe back then I use to think that I have unlimited money and I an just buy everyone they need. Like food, transportation and entertainment. But now I know that it was really impossible 😂.

What are you going to do if you got rich in the Future?
Good day everyone today I want to share something that I got inspired or I remember to write because of reading other users article. A yesterday or a day before yesterday I read Ms. @Pachuchay article and one of the questions in her article ask about what will I choose and between to have a clear skin forever or to have 5 million dollars but I have to deal with breakouts in my face and body. I commented there that I would choose 5 million dollars because I can just cover my face with mask if I go out and I also added that I can just buy Iron Man's Helmet if you know what I am talking the helmet that iron Man use in his suit.
After I commented it I suddenly remember an activity that we do when I was in Grade 7. I remember that around 1st or 2nd quarter our teacher ask us to write down somethings that we would do if we are gonna be rich in the future. But now I can't remember what did I wrote in that activity but I am pretty sure that I wrote something about buying an Iron Man suit back then 🤣. Please don't judge me for being childish 😂 I am still a child that time hahahaha.
I've been looking for that notebook since yesterday that's why I opened all the boxes that I have stored back then because I didn't throw away my school stuffs because I remember when I was in Grade 7 my teacher told me to never throw my school related things because they might borrow it in the future. Well I don't really have a nice hand writing or something like that but I am quite good at school just for a little flex😅.
I am seeing a lot of things that I have memory with or something that I don't really remember what is that is or what did I do to it. I am so focused in finding that notebook of mine in ESP. After long time finding it I finally found it. It was a notebook with a robot dragon design 🤣. I just don't want to share the pictures because I bet you won't even understand my hand writing because my penmanship looks like the one that the doctors use to write prescription for patients. I barely even managed to read it myself self right now while I am the one who wrote it 🤣.
**What are you going to do if you got rich in the Future?**
The Question in that activity is **" What are you going to do if you got rich in the Future?"** I answered that question with 3 main subjects and that is for myself, for my family and for the world. Today I will share my answers to that question. To be honest I wrote a lot of things in there because it doesn't have to have any explanation to do that's why I have a lot of answers now I will try to remember why did I answered those things if I can still remember.
For Myself
To buy a Mansion with a lot rooms
Well I think I wrote this one because I lived in my grandfather's house and ever since I was a child the want to have my own big house and a lot of rooms back then. Because the rooms that I got when I first came into my grandfather's house is the just made up room it just a part of the kitchen back then that they put a bed into it and some curtains.
Because they don't know that I am going to live there for a long time because to he honest it's not really a long plan for me to live in my grandfather back then because I am still around 5-6 years old back then that's why they thought that they will get me because they can't just leave a child because no one would take care of me. And then this house that I am staying right now got rebuild and I finally have my own little room back then and I was happy because even though this room is just barely enough for one person I am still happy back then when I was Grade 8 or 9 when I finally got my own space and I won't be bothered when some one is cooking because my bed literally in the kitchen back then 😅🤣. I think this bedroom idea became too dramatic 😂.
To buy Philippines
To be honest I don't really know the reason for this 😂. I am thinking right now what kind of mind that I have back then why did I want to buy my own country 🤣. Please excuse this hahaha I don't really know why hahha I am quite weird person to be honest 😅.
To buy a lot of Buildings
I can't still think the reason why but I think it was because my teacher said back then when you are rich you need to have a lot buildings that why maybe I want to buy a lot buildings.
Invite Fairy Tail into my House
If you don't know what is Fairy Tail is it was an anime that I love back then. I wrote this because our teacher back then is telling that with money nothing is impossible that's why even I know back then it wasn't real I still write it down .
To buy an Iron Man Costume
This is the one that I've been waiting for 🤣. I am not really fan of Iron Man back then but I just love Iron Man when I was Elementary because my father give me a toy when he visited back then. If you are Filipino and you remember back then that Gasoline Stations used to give something like toys or something that they are with partnership a toy or something when you gas up into some certain amount and the free toy was given to me. That was still when I am Elementary but while writing this list I didn't really remember about the toy I have.
I wrote this because I thought back then that I look cool in Iron Man's Suit. But until now I still think I am 🤣. I remember that my friend wrote to his that he will buy a Batman Costume so that we would be pair 😂. I will try to send this list to my friend tommorow to see if he will still remember it 😅.
To Travel to Japan
Back then Japan is the only different country I know because I thought back then that Japan and those other countries that we study in class was the only part of the world 🤣 and then be honest when I was Elementary I thought that my teachers just made out that there is other countries 😅. I am still young back then that's why I really think like a weird child.
Buy a Big Boats, Helicopters, and Planes
I don't know what I was thinking back then because I don't really want to have a car back then because I said to myself that I will just ride helicopters when I need to go somewhere.
Author's Note:
I will just end it to myself right now because if I listed what I want for my family and the world maybe this article would be too long to read 🤣. Thank you everyone for reading this article.

Free Items ( 100 pesos off Voucher)
Good day everyone today I want to show you guys about the free earphones that I managed to get last 5.5 Sale from Shoppe.
Free earphones
Last 5.5 sale as I am browsing to Shoppe I suddenly saw that there is still a lot of vouchers available that's why I claim some. I managed to claim a 100 pesos off voucher minimum spend 0 in one store. I am always collecting vouchers like this since last year but I always end up not checking out anything because this vouchers is so limited because it was given by the store maybe 5-10 vouchers only can be redeemed but since it was too hard to compete that's why I never really gotten a chance to use those vouchers I got.
But last 5.5 Sale miraculously I managed to check out something with 100 pesos off voucher. To be honest I am not really excited while checking it out because I experienced a lot that I am already in the check out then suddenly the price will change or the vouchers is out of stock. I was checking it out then I pay using my Shoppepay then suddenly it went to my to received list. I am so surprised because I managed to check out. My soul was immediately shock because I am so tired that time because I am doing my paper for school.
I refresh my shoppe many times to see if it is not a glitch because I am literally paying nothing for 3 Earphones that I checked out.
100 Pesos Off
If you are using Shopee to order things you might know that every sale that they have like 4.4 or 5.5 sale they always put a lot vouchers everywhere and from different stores that participate in this promo for that day. Like the free shipping vouchers, coins back voucher, 10-15% off Voucher and the stores put different types of vouchers of their own like 50 pesos off minimum spend of 500 and ultimately the 100 pesos off voucher where this just have so limited stocks that's why the contest here is first check out first served.
Proof of Purchase
This is the screenshot of my order transaction from Shoppe. Actually I have few amazing purchases last 5.5 sale most of them is just cheap. Because I am a cheap person but I love shopping online 🤣. As you can see in the photo above I managed to used 2 vouchers in this transaction which is a free shipping voucher and the 100 pesos off so totally I didn't spend anything on these items at all.
Leaving a Review
Of course after receiving this item I should do a proper a nice review about the products that I received as expressing the gratitude to the seller. I tested all the items and it was all functioning well and they were all in nice quality.
What I feel after ordering this
Right after I checked out the items I feel so happy because who wouldn't be happy if you get a free items without even paying anything for it. I am seeing a lot this things where they are getting stuffs from Shoppe for free or super discount price in that Facebook group above. The admin of that group was a famous Tiktok and Facebook vlogger where her contents about the sulit hacks and orders that she managed to get from Shoppe that's why a lot of members of that group also gets a lot items from Shoppe for free or super discounted price.
I feel so happy when I checked this out but after a few minutes I suddenly feel so sad and so disheartened about it. You know why because I suddenly thought about the seller because I managed to get free items from his/her store I am thinking what will be his/her income because of this order. I am also hoping that the seller can just send me non functioning items so that I won't feel bad about it. Well I am pretty sure that he/she expected this because they put a voucher with no minimum spend in their shop. I am trying to convince myself that it was just alright because I know that they expected it but deep inside I feel so bad about it. Well you may call it over sensitive but I can't help to think about other people's feelings most of the time.
I even consulted my friend about this because I want to cancel the order already but my friend said that I shouldn't feel like that because he was sure that the seller expected this because they are the one who put that voucher and I just got lucky to get some of it. Then he proceed in teasing me because I am reacting like this to my own doing.
He was laughing about me because why I am always like that he also added that I can't work or run a company because I am always have some feelings like this and I shouldn't never work for corrupt Politician because he said that I might cry or feel bad all the time. Well I also find myself funny because I am the one who did this then I am also the one who's been thinking it as a problem.
I couldn't think properly after I've finished ordering because I am still doing my paper that's why I decided to stop doing it that night because I wouldn't just be able to focus because of it.
What did I feel after I received the order
Actually when I received this order I feel so down and stressed because that day is the same day that I received my Defective headphones which I posted something about it a few days ago. I am so sad because it was defective as well as that was my most expensive order that time and that was the not functioning one. I am still chatting with the seller when this parcel arrived. But before I open it I finished chatting with the seller first of the headphones.
Then I proceed on opening them to test them. I open and tested it out and to my surprise it was all working well and sounds nice. And I suddenly think that it was my good karma because I choose to be peaceful with to seller of that headphones but I still feel a little bad about not paying anything for it. But I am also so happy about that Items.
Author's Note:
I don't know what happened to my last article because Rusty seems to ignore it. I hope that I my account is still alright because I am not really much active because I am so busy with a lot of things. The price of BCH this morning is really so down but I hope that it will recover soon. Thanks everyone have a nice day

Cake for Mother's Day
Good day everyone yesterday was the Mother's day. Well it's really a holiday but it's a special day to give love and make our lovely mothers feel that they are special and we are thankful for everything that they've done for us. That's why in today's article I will just tell how we give a simple gift yesterday because of the Mother's day.
A few days ago my brother suddenly ask what are we gonna do in Sunday. I got confused because I don't recall anything that we have to do and while he was talking to me I suddenly saw a Election related post that's why I said that the Election was still in Monday. I will share you the conversation that we have.
Bro: What are we going to do in Sunday?
Me: The Election was still on Monday.
Bro: Huh? I said on Sunday.
Me: Why what's going on Sunday? Are you going to church?
Bro: No, about Mother's Day.
Me: Mother's day? What are supposed to do?
I was really confused because we rarely go in my mother's house because it's still in different province and we don't really celebrate mother's day. Well we do give something for my father in Father's day because it's something that we always do because of my sister and my father was here. But I am not really used to doing something for Mother's day because we are not there as well as we don't usually celebrate things like this. I just replied to him.
Me: I don't know just ask Ate(sister)
Bro: Let's just buy a cake.
Me: Alright just ask Ate.
Then he immediately called my sister to ask about it. And after the discussion between the 3 of us we just decided to buy a cake. But since none of us was near in my mother we just call my aunt that was the sister of my mother. We just ask her what cake we can buy and we just ask her to buy the cake for us since she was living in the same house of my mother. She gave us a quite few options that was in Facebook or in the Physical store there. Me, my sister and brother called each other again.
Sis: Ohh what cake we will buy?
Bro: How about the Black Forest ?
Sis: The 500 peso one (10 dollars) ?
Bro:Yes
Sis: Okay. How about for the payment how we will divide it. We should pay in Gcash
Bro: Let's just cash-in in 7-11
Sis:How much each?
Me: 170 pesos each because of the charge.
Sis :Okay just pay for it first I will just pay it later.
Bro: Okay
If you noticed that this conversation is quite awkward it is because I just translated it into English that's why the words the we use is quite awkward if I just translate it into English like that. After the call between the 3 of us my brother immediately ask for my payment. I told him that I can broke and I will just pay him later🤣 but he just get from my wallet.
To be honest that's my last money because I didn't expect me to have some unexpected expenses these past few days. That's why I am the one that suggested 170 pesos because that's my last money.🤣
Since yesterday was the Mother's day my aunt brought it yesterday. My mother called for video chat yesterday. But unfortunately I am asleep that's why I didn't manage to answer the call. But they are in the video call with my brother and sister.
I don't have any photos of the cake because I was asleep yesterday and I didn't manage to ask them to take a photo of it. But we'll that's alright 😅. I am literally broke now because the only thing that my wallet have is my ID's and unknown receipts. But well that's alright because we at least manage to give something for our mother yesterday.

Thank you for reading this article. I am supposed to write it last night but the laziness run through me. Because last night I really allotted time to write my article which is 11 pm to 12 am because I feel like I am always blaming my school works 🤣. That's why when the 11 o clock started I stopped doing my activity and I decided that I will write but I lay down and because of that I told myself to rest for 5 minutes but this turns into an hour scrolling up and down in Facebook and YouTube. That's why I can't blame my activities for not been able to write because I give an hour to myself to write but I just waste it in watching a lot of no sense things 🤣.

My First Defective Order
Good day everyone I was so stressed yesterday because of my school works plus there's another thing that stressed me out. Last 5.5 Sale in Shoppe me and my brother decided to buy an headphones. A few days before the 5.5 sale we already discussed to buy headphones for each of us because we both need it for Online Classes. I really need an earphones with a great microphone because even though my earphones is just fine when I am answering but sometimes it wasn't that clear and I need something that I have a great speaker because we will have something to do that involves using our microphone for a long period of time.
Since I still have almost 300 pesos in my Shoppe Wallet I just cash in 260 pesos for additional money as well as this all the money I have in my Gcash. When 5.5 starts I was awake I after I checked out one item I immediately check out the earphones that we choose because that is the main purpose of my buying in that sale. After I checked it out I just came back in what I am doing because it was 12 am but I am still doing something related in school.
I was so excited because it was immediately ship out by the seller and it was delivered the next day.
This item when it was delivered it was placed in the box but I just remove it so that no one would know the name of the store. Well going back I was so excited when it was delivered that's why we immediately test it out. My brother test his head phones which is the red and it's working just fine but when I tried to use mine there's only one ear that have a sounds. At first I thought it was just compatible in my phone that's why I try to use the one that is for my brother and it just working fine. After that I immediately contact the seller.
I am so stressed about it because I am so busy with a lot of school works plus this adds up but I am still respectful to the store. That's why I sent them a proper message about the defect of the product. The person in the store replied that if I connect it properly and I said yes and I added that I even tried the red one and it just functioning well.
Then the store replied to try it in different device. I know what he/she trying to say that it was not compatible in my phone because I have a little bit of knowledge about this kind of Stuffs. But still I am using a laptop I tried it on the laptop and still it wasn't working well. I even called my brother and my cousin to try it on their phones but it also not working and it's just one ear that have sounds. But the microphone is just working fine.
Then I said that it wasn't really working but the seller tried to ask me to try again. And since I am such a good obeying boy even though I know it wasn't working I still try it again 😅. But it was still not working. Then the seller just suggested that I apply for return and refund. For them to refund the item. But since it was my first ever item that I received that is like this I never experienced returning any items. I asked first about the return/refund process but they didn't give a clear answer that's why I just read about it myself. And I learned how to do it if anyone of you is interested on how to do it just comment it below I can make another article about it if you want.
After I read the things that I need to do. I am literally supposed to hit me and I thought that because of this they might have a hustle or they are having a hard time at work right now that's why I decided to not just returned it as well as I am also concerned about the shipping fee. I just messaged the seller that I am not going to return the item because I am busy nowadays and there's a big chance that I am going to school in this week and there's no other person in the house that will do it. The seller said thank you and apologize again and I just added that I hope this won't happen again next time.
Well I am so stressed right now and I don't want to add them up or pass it to other people that's why I just choose to not to return it. Well the important is the microphone is working fine and I can still hear something from it even just from one ear. I am just really disappointed because I got this from Shoppe Mall which is supposedly the one that will have the best items and top notch items.
Well we got this earphones for 189 each plus shipping fee because when I checked it out the free shipping voucher wasn't enabling. I am just just sad that I feel like I didn't get the worth of money I paid for the item. But still I am just alright because I also don't want to bring any hustle to the seller as well as to me.
I didn't post about it on Noise as well as I didn't include the name of the store or the brand because the one that replying me seems nice as well they are willing to refund it I just didn't choose it because of the additional cost of it for shipping and the Shoppe deducted some amount from it. I didn't post it on Noise because I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the brand I just hope that this won't happen next time.
