Out of Words
Good day everyone I just want to apologise for being inactive here at Read these past few days and wasn't able to write anything yesterday. And most possibly I am inactive in the next few days or weeks because I am so busy with a lot of school works. In other word we are literally swamped with school works to do. I am currently doing these past 3-4 days the final project in one of my subjects.
Yes even though it was a month or two before our Grade 12 ends I am already doing it because apparently my teacher in that subject adjusted her deadline until next week Wednesday or until next week Sunday. And that is to be not go over lap with other subjects as well as because she reads it individually.
Let me share a little bit about our school. Because when I posted something about in Noise that is related in my school activities and stuffs some are wondering why I am doing things that is too many that is normally done in College where the activities and stuffs that is given was normally difficult and quite savage as other students said 🤣. It is because the teachers that is teaching is us is a Professors in College.
This school that I am currently studying at was literally just a College school. They just accepted Senior High school students a year before Covid-19 Pandemic happened just to test drive if they will expand the school and also make a extension to have a Senior High school students in their University. But this testing drive seems coming to end because as referring to the "chika" of one of friend he said that the school was supposedly held us as their last batch of Senior High school students but when I got to Grade 12 they still accept a new batch of Senior High school but the only thing that was different is that all of the teachers that is teaching us is already a professor in the College and they are just teaching us because it was an open time in their schedules that's why even I am still in Senior High school I already have a lot of strict and great teachers.
Well back to the project that I am doing we are we task to write about the chapters that was given to each of us. Since we are the only Grade 12 students that is handled by this professor she was freely to give us whatever she wants us to do. In the same subject that was in another Strand and another teacher was being handled they don't have a final project like this. That's why when one my classmates ask about why did we have it while the other students don't she just replied that then " go attend to another and enroll to another teacher then ask him/her to give you grades" when she said it this week I feel scary because even it was online I can feel her scary presence.
You in her subject weren't allowed to speak in Tagalog when the are in the middle of the discussion or when she asked us something in the discussion because her subject is English and she was asking in English that's why we should also response in English. I accidentally talk Tagalog one time in the recitation and I saw that her face went blank that's why I quickly apologize for it. I can still remember how my heart beats so fast that time.
You know one of the College students said that he said the our section was the unluckiest because we got the 4 "mamaw" professor that everyone in College was afraid of that's why I am so scared. But even though they are so strict with us I can still feel that sometimes they are holding back on us because they still know that we are just Senior Highschool students and not College students that they can be angry with when they are wrong or when they are hard to understand.
In the scale that one of my classmates created our teacher in this subject was 3rd in the ranking next to our 2 other teachers that was so strict. But don't get me wrong they might be called "Mamaw"but they are really worth it for those titles because they are so strict but in the same time they are also great in teaching students except for the other one🤣 that never attends in our class but gives a lot of activities.
This article was supposed to be about my project that I am doing but it turns to be the introduction of my "Mamaw" teachers. Back to the final project we are tasked to a academic writings to the chapters of the thing that she gives us. We are all have almost different chapters and they are just some students that managed to get the same as others but your work can't be similar to that person because our teacher really reads it one but one.
Just for example yesterday one of my classmates try to submit his work but after a few minutes his work was immediately rejected because she said that it was from Google and she added yesterday that if we just try to get it from Google she would know because she already read a lot of it already because she already done this a lot in her College students before.
As well as we can't use a simple term words and we also have to check our grammar because she is deducting points from it. You know it's really hard to write just one paragraph of it because I have to re-read it many times to check for each words and came back and forth to Google to search for the synonyms or the other word perfect in that sentence because she also hates when we write like elementary students. Unlike here in Read where I can just write continuously and I can be free from writing in that paper I can't because I don't want to lose all my points because of it.
I've been writing this for 3-4 days already and I already got to finish my first chapter. Yeah it is just one Chapter and it already ended up to 4334 words and possibly that I will add more because I have to re-read and re-write some of its parts tommorow. In those 3-4 days of working on it I barely have enough sleep and rest as well as I didn't even managed to eat on time because of the classes and this stuff. I don't know if I can finish this because I am already drained out and out of words already because I have to write 2 more chapters because all of us was given 3 chapters.
Maybe tomorrow I will try to consult this one chapter that I finished because we can consult every chapters that we managed to finish just by uploading in the Google drive Link that she created she will also give comments and feedbacks to your unfinished work there. It's different from the submission it's just a consultation to know if that was already alright or not. We just have to wait until she adds her own comment in the lowest part of the documents if that was alright or we have to re-write or edit our works. She said she usually reads it around 2-4 times a day to check everyone's consultation we just have to wait but if we are brave enough to not to consult it first then good luck just make sure that your work is good or perfect.
Author's Note:
I will end it now because I am so tired for today's video🤣.I also want to apologise again for not being active now and until maybe the next few weeks. Good day everyone have a nice day and always be safe.
Breylee Acne Treatment Serum Review
Last 4.15 Sale in Shoppe this is the one of the items that I bought. I am really thinking for a long time to buy a new serum because it's been almost 1 year since I last bought a serum for my face. Well I am not really a person whose into skincare and stuffs in my face because I am so lazy to do it. Plus there are certain products that doesn't work on my pimples but there's a serum that I am using that really helps my skin to clear out my pimples a little.
As you can see in this photo this is the Breylee Anti Acne serum that I am using for a long time. I bought this last year around March or April when I bought it I bought around 3 bottles of it because I tried to use it once before but it was really effective in my skin. That's why I bought 3 bottles the next time.
It reaches until now because I don't really use and do skincare in my face more often. I just use it when I am in the mood or there are something important I need to go in the few days. I really don't know why I am so lazy to do skincare I really just feel like I don't like it. Well back to Breylee Serum, as you see in the picture this is the last bottle of the Breylee Serum that I bought last year you may see that it was almost empty 😂.
I am a Breylee Acne Treatment Serum for a long time and this is the product that really helps my skin to clear out pimples. You know if I am just consistent in doing my skincare my face might be an acne and marks free but what can I do I am really lazy. That's why I am really putting in my list that to be more patient in doing my skincare.
This the last bottle is almost empty I decided to buy a new one. I am originally ordering it from their main shop which is in China but I remember I saw a Breylee Store that is the Philippines and it was Shoppe Mall that's why it's legit. I am really doubting if this shop is real because I am scared that I might buy a fake products and just ruined my face. That's why I am full of doubt when I saw this Shop.
You know I also want to support our local sellers in the Philippines I am just doubtful in buying because it doesn't have a lot of rating. Then last 4.15 I saw that they have a flash sale. And since this one is really in my plan that I made to buy this sale. I just bought it because it's way more cheaper here plus the promo.
Since it was in sale for only 155 pesos for 2 bottles I quickly buy because it's way more cheaper if I am going to buy from the Main Shop in China. Plus I also manage to use some vouchers for it I used a free shipping voucher that's why it was deducted 38 pesos for shipping fee then it was deducted again for 50 pesos because of the shop voucher that I got and after that I use my remaining coins to buy it.
That's why from 155+ shipping fee it turns to 100 pesos. It's like 50 pesos each. I am so happy that time because I managed to deduct a lot from it but I am also anxious because I am scared that it was just fake. You know what after 2 days this was immediately delivered I am really amazed by it because usually if I order it from the Main Shop it usually takes around 1-3 week max because it was still from overseas shop.
Taddddaaa it was finally here. I am really scared to try it out because there's something important that was coming that's why I decided to just use it after that. I already tried it out for almost 3 days and it seems just similar to the one that I use to buy in the shop in China. I am really happy because I managed to save plus it's also a legit products.
Then after that the shop also give me a 100 pesos off voucher but I wasn't able to use it because I don't have anything to buy as well as it was bound to some selected products and I don't use any of them that's why I asked my brother but he also doesn't use products from that selection.

What a coincidence that my First month in using Read. cash is part of my 3rd Month in using it. Well in this article I just talked about my overall experience in one month in using Read.

Bonding with Them
As I've said in my yesterday's article I will post about the things that me and my classmates done during and after the Pictorial. As I started yesterday we got into the school around 8:30 but the Pictorial haven't started yet. As soon as we arrive I felt really ackward because I am in the same place in the students that in the same strand as I am but I don't really know who they are. Most of them is my classmates since Grade 11 but until I still don't know them all.
I saw most of them during the Zoom meetings and classes but I never had a chance to make friends because I am not really a person who can initiate to make friends with others. When I got into this Strand when I was grade 11 there are 9 people that I know that also went to this Strand because they all go in the same Junior High as I am. But now there is just 4 people in my strand that I know since Junior High that also went to our school because they all left in different reasons some said that they will transfer because the teaching is quite hard other said that they will start working already and etc.
Back to our situation I feel so akward because I don't know them good thing my friend was really extrovert and friendly that he knows everyone from our strand. He played games with other people and he also have a romantic relationship in some of the girls. I am really amazed I'm how he managed to be in the relationship or at least be acquaintances with other batch mates even though that there are no F2F classes but yeah there's nothing I can do about it he was really a quite playboy since during Junior High thanks to his looks and personality.
Since the schedule was running late the other strands starts to arrive and there I saw a lot of people that I do actually know because most of the people I know that go into this school was in other strand mostly ABM. You know as soon as they saw me the first thing that all said was literally " Tumaba ka" or you gain some weight. Well I don't know what to feel I know that they just really mean to tease and I wasn't so offended because I know them as well as it's true that I really do gain a lot of weight than before 🤣. What can I do food is Life🤣.
But the worse is my another friend because when she saw me she immediately pinch my cheeks because she said that it was so cute. I really didn't notice her at first because she is late but the first thing she do is to pinch my cheeks. I was worried because it might be too red and it will be shown in the photos but good thing it is just alright.
Since it wasn't still starting everyone is starting to get bored of taking photos of them selves repeatedly. I look like we also have a photo shoot there because all of them was taking photos. I even got tired of smiling because it was literally non stop 😂. Then some of them started making Tiktok Videos and they all invite us to join.
In this one I feel so awkward because it seems that I am the only one who doesn't have Tiktok there because we make a large amount of crowd Tiktok while there are dancing to the steps but I don't literally know the steps. Then after a few minutes it already started we are called by batch because the photo shoot was in the 2nd floor of the other building.
After the shoot it seems that everyone looks disappointed because of the photo because they just took one shot and don't even bother to let us do another pose or at least to have a picture without hat on. It was so expensive then it is just like that. That's why a lot of students really make our own photoshoot in other room.
Because there is someone that bought his own camera and he decided to just take us our own photos in clear background having a chance of 4 photos each person and a several group photos. He also didn't ask for anything he just said that send him an email and he will pass the photos. One of the teachers saw it and make it stop good thing we are all already done with invididual photos and just group photos.
That's why all just go back in taking pictures using their phones and trying to get the worth of the Toga and their efforts in making at least to look good. After that picture taking was already done I planned on going home already because its lunch time already and feel so hungry. But my friend suddenly invite me to come with them I really don't want to but he convince me and I just go.
We are a group consist of 10 people well I know all of them because there are all my batch mates in Junior high. It's a mutual decision that we will eat in Mang Inasal for Unlimited rice🤣. We are 6 boys and 4 girls but the girls also agreed to eat there. While we are eating I feel so embarrassed and we are all laughing because the extra rice guy that gives the rice keeps going back in the our place and keep playing jokes with the crew good thing the crew was also riding into the trip of my classmates.
Then after that they all decided to go for milktea and the good thing is that it was a treat from 3 of my classmates. They all present to treat the rest of us that's why I also come. In the milktea house is the longest time that we are in. Because when we got in the customers that they have is also from our school that's why the whole 2nd floor was occupied by the students like us. We also lasted there for so long because it suddenly rain so hard and the terminal of jeep is quite far from there that's why it took us a long time to wait until we left.
Good thing the milktea house also have some card games that we play. And thing that most us play is the Uno Cards. Because they almost 10 sets of Uno Cards it all became sufficient to all of us. Around 4:00 all of us separated ways for each other but me and my friend decided to keep an accompanied my other friend because she also needs to buy something from the store. The both of us decided to come with her and we wander in the grocery and department store for almost like an hour and a half. Then after this we just accompanied her into her jeep terminal that will go to there house.
We thought that it was just a quick walk but we didn't know that it is located in the back of Palengke. That's why she is refusing it but we just decided to lead her because it's also getting dark. And right after we walk her into the jeep terminal that will lead to her house. We started to walk to our jeep terminal because we live in the same Barrangay that's why it is we just go together. Around 6:45 pm when I got home and that's when I just realized that I haven't take any photo in my phone but yeah it's alright because I enjoyed that day and for sure there is a lot Photos from my classmates.

Late for the Schedule
Good day everyone today I will now share my experience last Friday when we took our Graduation Photos. I almost forgot to publish an article today because this morning to afternoon I was so busy in things that I need to do in my personal life like the chores and the things that my father ask me to do. And because we look after again in my niece today because my sister went away to do something important and left my niece to us. Then this evening I am doing some activities that is due before 12 midnight. Well I managed to finished it and I am supposed to do more activities that is almost due in the few days but I remember that I wasn't still writing here that's why I stopped doing those activities and I am just gonna continue those tommorow.
Well back to the Graduation Photos. As you know last Friday we took our Graduation Photos I woke up so early but I just managed to get out of our house because of my friends. My friend was already in my another's friend house around 6:30 because he knows that if he don't come my another friend won't still start to prepare. He waited for her until 7:45 to get ready and to put a simple make up. I waited for them because their is the my friends that goes as the same school as mine as well as we lived in the same Barrangay.
We are supposed to be in the school at 8 am but we got there around 8:15 because of the transportation we thought that we are so late already but we are not really late because the pictorial isn't starting yet because the photographer's company was still wasn't arriving because of the traffic. It's almost 9:15 when the photographer's company arrives and they are apologizing because of the traffic because they are still from Manila.
A lot of the students are already angry because of their make ups and especially the teachers because we have a schedule to follow and the students from other strands is starting to come into the school that's why there plan to limit the students inside the campus wasn't able to ruled out well. But the most thing that teachers was really angry about is the one that managed Toga's because they said that they have a flat tire on the way that's why they have to transfer into the different vechicle and they came around 10 am.
The teachers was really angry because they planned out that this morning will be the shoot of all Senior Highschool students because we don't really have a large population in our school. And next week is the schedule of College. They planned out that we have a time schedule so that other Strand won't have any interaction with others as well as to control the amount if crowd in the campus.
The photo shoot started around 10:15 and I was shoot around 10:45 because my name was almost in the last part of the Strand. I choose the cheapest package because the other package was really not worth it of the price even the price of what I get there are 3 selections the cheapest one is just around a Medium sized photo while the next one was just slightly bigger and the last one is much bigger and have a frame. This makes me feel so upset because it was not really worth it for the price. And I expected that they will shot us around a couple of times because of the price but we are just shot once and it was only with the hat on. And I don't really want my look with hat because I look like an egg🤣.
I apologized because this article just became a rant articles but don't think that I only feel upset and worst the whole day I am also happy in that day and I will tell you guys about it tommorow because I am so tired because my niece was so energetic that she runs all around and dance because of that I also have to run behind her and follow her around we are doing this for almost 2 hours because she doesn't want to go inside and watch in the Tablet we just got inside when it suddenly rain but she also end up running inside the house. Well even though I am tired I am happy because my niece was happy and she enjoyed playing with others so much because she rarely have any playmates in their house other than my sister and brother-in-law.
Author's Note:
After I read this article that I just wrote I feel like I shouldn't upload it today because it was full of negative. It's start of the a new month and I suppose to publish something good but yeah I this is the first thing that I think yo post. But I really promise you guys that I really enjoyed that graduation photos well not the really the graduation photos itself but the bonding I have with my classmates and some friends.

April: The Exhausted Month (Papunta palang Tayo sa Exciting Part)
Good day everyone I apologise for not being able to post anything yesterday I just got really tired and exhausted. I will try to write an article about it tommorow but now I want to share my the things I experienced this month.
This month was really exhausting for me especially in school. This month I literally drained out all of my patience and energy. Literally the teachers give activity to activity. You know even it's Saturday or Sunday I am still doing a lot activities and projects. Every day that I will check my account in school the first thing that will welcome my eyes were new activities added. That's why I am always in the bad mood every morning🤣.
For example one of my teachers left a ton of activities while we are taking exams last April 11-13. If you remember these 3 days were my exam dates a few weeks ago and after that was 4 day no classes because of the Holy Week. When I took my exams I still have 7 activities that I haven't done yet in that one particular subject but after the exam I saw that in that subject alone I have 23 activities active in that subject alone.
That was just in one subject in total before the exams started my account have only 19 activities that wasn't still passed on. But after the holy week I saw that I have over a hundred. If my memory was right I have a total of 114 activities. Well you must think that was really overload well it is really is but to be fair almost half of those activities was just easy. Like you will just answer those quiz that over 10 and all of them is just a multiple choice or simply true or false.
But there are also activities that is exceptionally so hard. Like we have to write a book report for 3 different books that was given by the teacher and that only counts as one activity. These types of activities really drains me out as well as for those subjects that involves a lot calculations. Given that almost have of my subjects was using math or simple calculation but there is some that I can't really understand or too exhausting just to finish a single number.
Enough with those activities the most thing that I am most concerned about is about the projects and researches. Literally every subject have their own project that they all gave us even the minor subjects have this extremely hard projects. And I am now also currently doing 2 different research for 2 different subject. We are really just supposed to do 1 research but the teachers and the head of the another subject decided that they will also make their final project as research.
These decision of theirs really make a lot of students angry especially that we already have a lot of activities that came from that subject then they also want to have a research in that subject. A lot of my classmates is angry with this but our teacher in that subject said that there is nothing he can do about it because it was from the head adviser of the subject. Then we have no choice but to accept that because we also have no power to contradict that decision because it was already announced to all Strands.
This morning one of my teachers send this meme to our GC. If you don't know what it is it was one of the famous meme in one famous drama that was airing now in the Philippines. The English translation for the words that was written above is " We are just going to go into the exciting part". If you know this meme it was really funny because of the Remix version that booms this meme so much. Well back to the message that my teacher said this morning.
He congrats us for surviving this month and he said that we should still continue this until we finished this Grade. He also said that we shouldn't be pressured to a lot of activities and projects. Some of my classmates said that "thank you sir" they are thanking him and said that they appreciate it and then he suddenly send that meme above 🤣.
Then he said that "Papunta palang Tayo sa Exciting Part don't be too relaxed because this 2 last months will be the hardest month of our whole Senior High school experience" then he also added that " I was want to warn you all that don't be relaxed even though you finished taking your Graduation Photos it doesn't mean that we will already graduate" .
I don't know what to feel about this because he first makes us feel happy then relaxed then right after that he also give us a lot things to be stressed out 🤣. Well this teacher is just that teacher that is in the vibes of the students that's why he makes jokes like this to us. But to be honest I feel so scared because of it because I still have a lot of activities and projects to accomplish for the next month as well as for that research.
Well yeah I have no choice but to keep going please just wish me luck and please also wish that I will have a lot of patience to finish all of this things out next month.
This is the last day of April and tommorow will be the start of the new month which is May. I also want to share things that I achieve this month.
This month I managed to reach my goal and that is to accumulate at least .15 BCH from this platform and I even exceed this a little. Next month I want to achieve at least to accumulate 0.2 BCH that's why I will also try to work hard this following month. Well I managed to publish 28 articles in total this Month including his article. I just missed to publish for 2 days but this was really acceptable for me because I know that there is really a valid reason why I didn't manage to publish in those 2 days.
Author's Note:
I just want to say thank you for reading all of my articles this month. I am sorry that this article became all problematic and just a little rant hahaha.
Lead image was from one of the scenes in the Drama: "The Broken Marriage Vow" I just don't know where did he get this photo that's why I can't give a proper accreditation to the photo.

When you are 80-years-old, what will matter to you the most?
Good day everyone I've been so exhausted for today that's why I can't think what to write right now. I want to rest early for today because I need to wake up at 5:00-5:30 am for tommorow. I can't think what to write right now. I remember some topics that I want to write but I can't think what I will tell about it that's why I just read some articles of some users here then I suddenly remember that I saved some articles for future use.
I saw that I saved an article that was published by Ms. @Ruffa a few days ago and that's why I also use the website where she get a random question to answer. This website is the **bucket-list journey.net** this contains 365 deep and provoking questions to answer. https://bucketlistjourney.net/365-thought-provoking-questions-answered/
I will just choose randomly on what question to answer because I can't think of something to answer to some questions.
Which activities make you lose track of time?
The activity that literally makes me lose track of time is watching videos. Literally when I am watching videos like anime episodes, k-drama, movies, and even some random videos from YouTube and Facebook. I literally lose track of time if I am watching an episode with a great plot or there are something exciting and fun happening . I experienced once that I started watching an anime episodes at 9 pm then I just noticed that it was already 4-5 am this literally happen to me when I am watching anime and k-dramas.
But those YouTube and Facebook random videos is something that really also makes me lose track of time. When I start watching I am always saying that I will watch only for example 15-30 minutes but literally end up staying up to an hour or 2 there. I wasn't literally watching anything specifically all of videos is so random varies from short vlogs,game play, anime scenes, movie scenes, meme videos, music videos and etc.
What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?
I think it was to stay awake in the classes no matter how boring or even though I am not understanding anything. Because last year I am still adjusting to the online classes and I can't really manage to stay awake in class when the thing that we are discussing is so boring or I can't understand anything. Now I can listen to it no matter what boring it is or even though I can't understand anything well I still fall asleep sometimes but it's not bad as before.
When you are 80-years-old, what will matter to you the most?
In this question I literally have plan ever since when I was young. I don't know if you will believe or not but I will share the thing that I am always thinking at ever since when I was young.
If I ever got married and have kids I want to live up to 70-90 years old because I want to see my grand childrens in the future and spend time with them. But if I didn't marry or in the relationship when I got 30 years old I am happy to live up until 35-40 years old and die. You might think what got me into this conclusion.
This idea get come up to me when I was around 12 years old. Back then I am the only one that always sick in the family. My brother and sister have both strong and healthy body and immune system but I am the only that always got sick. Since 10 up to 17 years old I always get sick so bad that I always need to go the hospital or clinic.
When I was 14 years old I got confine for the first time in my life but it just for 10 hours but during that time I have seen something that gives me a thought that I gave above. I saw an old man that is with his grandchild sitting in the bed and laughing with his grandchild. During that time I am literally wasn't feeling so well and then I saw the old man with his grand child. I was alone that time because my sister get out of the hospital to buy some foods.
And then I suddenly told to myself and to God that time that if I ever get married someday I want to see and bond to my grandchildren but I also said to God that if I didn't get married or in the relationship in my 30's I am alright if he would take me already in the age of 35-40 year old. I just want him to give a healthy life in my remaining years and I want to fulfill something for my parents and my siblings in that time before I die.
I really don't know how did I ever got to think it that time even though I am still so young that time but until now I still haven't forget about it and I am literally just alright in that agreement that I promised to myself and God.
I once told this story in my friend during Grade 10 but he just laugh at me and he didn't believe at me.
I just noticed that I still haven't answered the real question 😂. I got carried away because as soon as I read the question that's the thing that comes to my mind. But to answer that question maybe if I got into 80 years of my life I think the thing that will matter to me the most is my children and grand childrens because I want to look after them and see them in the comfortable life before I die.

Mais Con Yelo : Take a Cool down From Scorching Heat
Good day everyone a few weeks ago I shared a post about the Mais Con Yelo that I bought from the store that opened just across the street from our place. If you don't know what is Mais Con Yelo is I will try to explain what it is based on my knowledge about it. Well Mais Con Yelo is just basically a shaved ice with Corn Kernels. The typical ingredients of Mais Con Yelo are just shaved ice, Evaporated Milk, Corn Kernels, and sugar.
Some people like to up some for their Mais Con Yelo to make fancier or tastier but those ingredients above is just basically the main components of making Mais Con Yelo. Well back the store that selling Mais Con Yelo across our street. When it first open up I was really excited because I am looking for quite a while because it was so hot already and it's the perfect business during summer season because they sell Halo-Halo and Mais Con Yelo.
This two foods is really perfect to cool down in the intense heat that we are having. The store sells halo halo and Mais Con Yelo. But at that time I just bought the Mais Con Yelo because the halo halo takes time to do because there's a lot of ingredients that's why I get the Mais Con Yelo because it's the fastest one to make and it's because it's too hot already outside.
I waited for almost 10-15 minutes waiting for it because they shave the ice manually. When I got home I immediately eat but no matter mix and taste I make it totally just taste sugared water and the Korn Kernels in it so little amount that's why it doesn't make any taste at all. I thought it was just me but my brother also said that it also taste like sugared water. It such a waste because we just really just taste it but we can't eat it because it just so sweet and taste like sugar.
Then the next morning when I go out the seller asked me how's the taste of the Mais Con Yelo. Well I don't want to be rude because she was really kind to us that's why I just said that it taste just ok and it just need to add more corn kernels and lessen the sugar. And then a few days ago I decided to try their halo halo because it might be better than their Mais Con Yelo because you know Halo-Halo have a lot of nice and tasty ingredients.
But yeah the Halo halo also taste a little like sugared water. Well it's a little better because of the ingredients with it have a taste but most of it literally taste like sugar to me,my brother also tried the halo halo that I bought but he also said the same thing. That's why my brother decided that we are just going to do Mais Con Yelo by ourselves because it was more cost efficient and we can add more ingredients as we like.
I brought this evaporated milk and Korn Kernels in the store this morning. Then mu brother who is the one that shave the ice and do almost all the work because I am busy with my classes.
I forgot to take photos immediately because I am attending my classes but it tasted good because I literally put a lot Corn and milk into mine. And after we eat there still a lot of corn left that's why I just add it more into mine and I shave more ice into mine. It taste good because it have a lot of corn and milk as well as the weather is so hot this afternoon.
I just want to say thank to Ms. @Talecharm for being a new sponsor. I really didn't expect it thank you very much.

Unexpectedly Meeting a Friend
Good day everyone today I want to share you things that I've done today.
This day I went to the neighbor city of our place to get some documents of my sister. Yesterday my sister chat us if we could get her some documents in the office in the other city because she can't go out because my niece is sick and she can't leave her in the house. That's why she immediately contact us because it was so hard to get an appointment to get that certain documents she waited for almost 3 weeks to have an appointment.
Since my brother is so busy in school I just presented because I can take my classes even though I am not in the house because weren't really required to be open camera during discussions. I woke up around 5:30 am and I immediately take a bath then went to my sister's house to get the things that I need. I get to the jeep station that will go to the another city around 6:30 but it took some time for the jeep to be full and get ready to start around 7:15 the jeep finally full the we started to go ahead.
This ride was really supposed to be around 20-30 minutes drive but since for some reason the traffic was really bad that's why it took us about an hour and 20 minutes to get there. When I got to the other city I just went ahead and ride a tricyle to get to my destination immediately. Around 9:00 I was finally in my destination but there is already a long line of people outside the office. There are around 30 monoblock chairs outside for the people that is waiting. But since there are already so many people I got to seat in the last 2 seat or the 29th chair is available.
After I got to seat there is still more people that is coming. The opening of the office was really 10 am but there is already a lot of people. I am attending in my class around this time because I also have a class that is scheduled at 9 am I saw that there is an old woman that is just standing in the back of the person behind me. I didn't really notice at first because I am busy in my phone but I saw that the old woman is already standing there for almost 15 minutes and the man behind me saw that.
That's why I just decided to give my seat to the old woman because I don't think the man behind me is willing to give up his chair. I don't know if he didn't notice or what because he seems just like fine and because he's around 20+ plus or something. But yeah I just give up my seat because I can just wait and stand.
After I give my seat to the old woman and the lady that is behind the old woman before smile at me. Maybe because she was also worried to the Lola because standing for too long might be hard for her. I just smile back and face in front of the line again. The office opened up at 10 am but the guard said that the person that will do the thing that we have to do is late that's why we can't still move the line. Around 11 am the person who's in charge finally came.
Good thing that she finally got there because my legs hurts already because I am standing for almost 2 hours and I can't seat because the pants that I am wearing so fitted to me and I am worried that it might wreck if I try to seat as well the floor is also so dirty and dusty. I got to finish around 12:30 because the process was really fast.
We just have to submit the things that the lady is asking then fill up some things and pay for it. Then we just have to wait around 15 minutes to be printed but actually it was printed around 2 minutes. I already go out of the office because I am already hungry and my sister didn't plan that I will get up to lunch there because she thought I will be home before lunch that's why she didn't give extra money for lunch. But I also have a money on own to buy lunch but I just don't eat because I will just eat in the house because at this time the fast food might be full because it's lunch break of the people.
I am about to the terminal of jeep there and suddenly I heard a voice that call my name. Then I suddenly saw my friend that is also in here. To be honest I haven't talked the him since the Pandemic because I also don't really chat or go out because of the Pandemic and anything else that's why I didn't know all the things happening to them. I was so surprised because I heard that someone shouting my name across the street and waving to me.
At first I really didn't know who it was because I can't see clearly when far away that's why I didn't recognize it immediately. Then he close by and I saw that it was one of my friend from Junior High school. Well we know each other since Elementary but we just became friends we got into Highschool. We talked to each other and decided to eat in the near fast food chain because we are both hungry.
We went inside the Jollibee luckily there's some tables left in the 2nd floor that's why we just went there and order. I ordered a Spaghetti with Chicken and then a fries and ice cream because I am really hungry that time and my friend also ordered the same. We almost got an argument because he was insisting that he will pay for the foods because he promised to me when we are Junior High that if we Graduate and I am the Top 1 of our batch he will treat me but I keep insisting that we will pay for our own foods because I really don't like the idea that other people paying for my foods and I feel uncomfortable about it that's why I just convinced him that he will just treat me when we go out with our friends next time.
We just talk to each other while the foods wasn't still arriving. I just knew that he and his family already live in this city since last year and I really don't have any idea at all. He also ask me why I am doing here in this city and I just explain it to him. I thought I am the only with no really have to connection with other my batch mates and friends it turns out that he also got no connection with others.
I just knew that he was going to the private school and it really have a quite high tuition fee. He said that his mother enroll him and his sister there. Well the tuition fee wasn't really there problem because they are quite rich. The tuition fee there per year is almost 60,000+ for Senior Highschool that's why it was quite high but his tuition was deducted by the Government Voucher plus he was a scholar in his school that's why his tuition was lower father. He was really smart and his whole family was also smart that's why most of them have a stable job plus he his mother side was really a quite rich 😂.
His mother was a doctor here in the Philippines and his father was a doctor overseas. And his older brother is a seaman that's why they wasn't really concerning about the tuition fee. He said that he will also pursue being a doctor. And he asked me what I will take in College but I just told him that I still don't know. He was convincing me to pursue medicine but I told him that my father can't handle that.
Then we just shared some stories about some topics like about our past batch mates and classmates and stuffs. After we eat we just go out and he accompanied me into the jeep terminal. And I already got in the jeep. I just realized that we haven't really take any photos at all. Well we are not really people that into taking photos of ourselves that's why maybe we both forgot 😂. This friend of mine was really kind despite coming from a quite high background. When I was in Elementary I am really wondering why his parents sent him into public schools. And it was because of his father decision.
His father decided that his child will go into public school during Elementary or High school so that they will learn to make a lot of friends in different kinds of people and they just sent there children into a good school when they are already in either Highschool or College. And I think that was really a good choice because all of his siblings and him was really kind and know how to socialize with other people. And in the house they don't have a maid there because they know how move and things around the house by themselves. They just have someone that is helping them to cook because there parents wasn't around.
Around 3 pm I already got into our house and I already went to my sister then give those papers to her.

Things I need to Prepare for Upcoming Grad Pictorial
A few days ago I posted here about my upcoming Graduation Pictorial that will be held this week. All this time I am worried about a lot if things because this wasn't really included in my plan for this week. I didn't imagine that it will be held this month because I thought it would happen next month after the exams or submission of projects and research.
But here what it is I have to prepare for it because I don't want to panic in the day of the pictorial itself. Here is the list the things that I need to do or prepare before the pictorial.
ID , Vaccination Card and Alcohol
Well these things is really essential when you have to go to school because these things is the first thing that the guard will check before he will let you in. Even though the guard know that you go in that school but if you don't show your ID he won't really let you in especially the vaccination card. If you don't have an ID and vaccination card for really valid reason like you it was misplaced you have to let your parents write a letter and you have to bring your Parent's ID instead while if you have medical issues that's why you don't have a vaccine card you also have to bring a letter.
Waiver Form
This is the first thing that I will do tommorow I will go to the Computer shop so that my I can print my Waiver Form immediately because the card also won't let you in without it.
White Polo
I already found and wash my Polo from Junior Highschool this morning the only thing that I am concerned is that it was so fitted in me to the point that I can't move well as well as it have a little dot of stain at the back maybe because it was stored for too long. Well they said that it will be covered with Toga that's why it's fine.
Payment
This is the one that I am worried a lot because my father is still wasn't home and I called him that he also still haven't get his salary. Good thing I still have some money left with me and my sister let me borrow some money.
Fasting
I am planning to not to eat 12-16 hours before the shoot because I at least want to look decent in those photos especially that it cost quite a lot. I was initially planning not to eat 24 hours before the shoot but I know that I can't do it. I am even doubtful if I cannot eat for 16 hours that's why I am still thinking if I can do this.
Skin care
I looked at myself and I saw my face that looks like a d*mp 🤣. I have a lot of those little pimple marks all over my face. Well it can be covered with make up but I don't know how to use make up that's why I am not planning to covered it I will just do what I can to lessen those marks.
This is one of the concern of a lot of my classmates especially girls because they are asking if they can bring a +1 so that there make up can be retouched while waiting but it was strict rule that we should be the only one that will go in the school premises. The amount of money that we will pay for the shoot will not include make up because they said that it can be also the cause of COVID transfer.
Do Activities
To be honest I started to write this draft this afternoon but I just stopped because I realized that I am so concerned about how I look in the photo but what if I failed in to Graduate what will those photos for if I failed 🤣. I started to overthink that's why it gives me motivation to do my activities 🤣. I literally stopped writing about this even though it was my lunch break and started to do some activities.
Well how I look in the photo is also important because it will be with me until I grew up but it's also important that I passed first before to care how I look.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am supposed to publish it an hour ago but I fall asleep because I am so tired this Monday because of the classes. And I don't know where to start this activities that just given to us this day. I am still doing a lot of activities that was given last week but they added a lot again.
It's so tiring because from Major to Minor classes the amount if activity that was given is so much it's like they don't know that we also have other activities from other subjects but what can I do I will just rant and rant about it but I will also have to passed it because I like to rant about it but I can't afford to fail this semester.🤣
That's the irony of the life of students these days Rant all you can but you also have to pass because you can't fail. 🤣.

Answering Some School Questions (Part 3)
Good day everyone today I will now continue the last part of the Never Have I Ever School Edition that I've been doing this past few days.
Here's the ***Part 1*** and ***Part 2*** of this topic if you want to read it. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/answering-some-school-questions-c983dd10 https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/answering-some-school-questions-part-2-ec31b225
☑️❎ Played a Prank
Well I not really sure about the prank here because sometimes we really do a little teasing with each other in school. But there was also one time that all of my classmates including me play a prank on my teacher. I don't know if this is a prank or a surprise. Because when we are in Grade 9 there was One day where the Birthday if our Math teacher. She is not really our adviser but we still greet her a happy birthday. We all hide in the room and turn off the lights and close all the windows that will looks like no one in there because it's quite pretty dark inside.
I don't know if this prank/surprised is a success because she take a look in the window but she didn't she us that's why she just stand outside the room waiting for us. Because she thought we are in the other class or maybe in the computer room that's why she is waiting for us. One of us ended calling her inside because she is already standing there for almost 5 minutes and we just shouted Happy Birthday when she got in😂.
❎Stuck a Funny Note on Someone's Back
Well I didn't done it to anyone but I experienced this a quite few times because you know when we are in Grade 7 or 8 we are still quite young that's why this little things really happened. The only bad thing is that I didn't notice it until I got out of the room for lunch break 😂 my classmate said that it was on my back since recess but I didn't really notice it 🤣.
❎ Impressed someone that Dislike me
No, I don't really care if someone dislike me. Well I do really think about it but I don't do anything to make them impressed.
❎ Acted cool to get Attention
Also no hahhahahaha. It's a total opposite I don't want them caught anyone's attention at all.
❎ Stolen someone's lunch
No, I don't stole somebody's lunch why would I 😂? I don't really want to play something that could harm somebody. But sometimes I forgot to cook my own lunch when that happens it's either I will buy something from the cafeteria or I will just wait until I go home to eat.
❎ Taken Part of the school plays.
Well we didn't really have a lot of school plays it just happened around 2-3 times around my 4 years studying in Junior High school. And all of them is for an event which is Buwan Ng Wika. Inside the classroom there is also some role plays that we are performing but most of them is just a group activities and don't have anything extravagant about it except for the Role plays of English and Filipino subjects where we are assigned as our project a role playing of the scenes from the books and all students should participate on that .
❎Won in Sports
As I've said I don't join in any sports in our school because I don't want physical activities 🤣.
☑️ Gone into the Field Trips
Well yes I've explained a 2 Field Trips when I was in Junior high. I won't share my experience if that in my article today because it will be too long if I shared about it.
☑️ Had a Water Fight
I experienced this because when I joined a science camp when I was in Grade 9 the last activity that we do that day is to play throwing of water balloons. It was so fun because most of the people from that camp is from different and I totally don't know them but during that 2 day camping we have a lot of experiences and fun for those 2 days.
❎ Threw Ink in Someone
No I haven't done that and I don't think I will. It is really a thing in other schools😅? Because I haven't experienced being thrown an ink but I do experience spilling the ink in my Polo few many times.
I've experienced this because some ballpens that I am using sometimes leaked the ink out. It's just alright if it is just in the pants because our pants is black and it was barely noticeable but I've experienced this in my white uniform quite a few times and after that I have no choice it's either I have to throw that uniform at or it will be removed by just washing it. It just embarrassing when this happened to me because everyone looks in my clothes because it was covered in ink.
❎Sent a Love Note
Nah, I haven't done it before. That's all hahahaha 😅🤣.

Saturday Announcement : Grad Pictorial
Good day everyone today I am supposed to finish the challenge that I've been writing this past 2 days but I will share something today first because I might forget it if I didn't immediately write it today.
Well today was Saturday but I woke up around 7:30 am because my homeroom teacher message us in the group chat yesterday that we will have a career guidance today. That's why even though I don't really want to get up early I have to because I there will be an attendance to that and she said that we will discuss something important.
Right after I enter the meeting I just fill up my attendance and I was still laying in the bed. Because my teacher is just discussing about the courses we can take if still went to this school again in College and they are just talking about how great and etc. etc. Just to make us to go here in college. Well for me I won't be going into this school again for College because my father can't afford the tuition fee for college courses around here that's why most probably I will just go to the Government or Public Colleges that is around here.
To be honest I just managed to got in here because of the Government Voucher that was given to the Junior High school students that was graduate from Public school. Even though we are just paying almost 10-15% of the actual tuition it's still kinda hard for my father that's why I will just go into the public school again for College so that the expenses will be bare to minimum because next year me and my brother will be both in college even though we are both in Public Colleges there will be also a lot of expenses that we have to pay especially if the Face to Face classes will be happening. Like travel expenses, uniforms, school supplies, and etc.
Well back to the topic after my teacher discuss about the schools. She discussed about the Graduation Picture Taking. To be honest I really have no idea about this but most of my classmates already know about this because apparently this topic about Graduation Picture was discussed to other sections and strands last week. I just don't know why did my homeroom just told us this just now maybe she hates us😂.
I was so surprised because the graduation pictorial will be happening next week and she just told us about it. But the most shocking thing to me is about the price of the picture taking. In the pictorial that we will have next week our school will hire or will partnership with a pictorial company that will take photos of us. There will be the package to choose from but they didn't discuss about the contents of the package set. She just told us about the price of it. The package set price will start from 950- 1500 pesos (19-30 dollars) but this package still doesn't include the Toga we have to pay 250 pesos each for us to rent the Toga in the shoot and right after the picture taking we have to return it/ or not I am not really sure but we can't take a picture without the Toga.
That's why with the Toga added the price range will be at 1200-1750 pesos (24-35 dollars). I am surprised because I just knew about this because I am not reading in the separated group chat in our class without my teacher because I really don't know them😂 I just read the one the have teachers with because of the announcement. The most thing I am concerned about the payment because my father wasn't here because he is staying at his work and he will back until next week Wednesday or Thursday. I am not sure if he have extra money for this.
Well to be honest I have a money that I can use that I am saving but it's quite hard to just bring an exact amount of money because there might be a unexpected expenses that I need to pay.
Another thing that I am concerned with is about a white Polo that I have to wear. Because boys needs to bring their own White Polo to wear but since we didn't have face to face classes we don't have our own uniform. I am concerned because I don't know where did I put my Polo's back in Junior High school and I am also concerned if they will still fit into me because I gain so much weight and I became a little taller than before.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am not really expecting this kind of news this morning that's why even though it's Saturday morning and I need to rest or do something fun I became just stressed about it 😂. I also need to open the boxes that I clean up to find my Polo and see if they still can fit into me.

Answering Some School Questions ( Part 2)
Good day everyone today I will continue the Never Have I ever Challenge that I started yesterday. I started this ***challenge*** yesterday where I answered some questions related to school. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/answering-some-school-questions-c983dd10
☑️ Make a Fake Excuses for Being Late
Well I wasn't really always being late at class but there are certain times that I got late. In our school our guidance counselor is waiting in the gate 2 when it was already 7:30 am to wait for those students that is late. When you got caught by our guidance counselor it's really hard because he will wrote your name and put it in the list. When you have 3 lates in 1 month they ask you to bring your parent in the next day that's why it's really scary to be late. Plus you have you have to clean somewhere that he will assign after class.
Back to the topic well I was being late sometimes and I made some excuses when he asked why I am being late one of those excuse that I got to look after in my little cousin for a little while because her mother was in the bayan this morning but the truth is that I just woke up late🤣.
❎ Been Homeschooled
I never experienced homeschooled. But we are experiencing online classes in our house right now.
❎ Played in a Sports Team
I don't like physical activities that's why I don't join in Sports 😂.
☑️ Been the Monitor or Prefect
Well I experienced this because I became president of our class during grade 8 and 9. As well as I was elected in Supreme Student Government in our school as a Grade 10 Representative when I was in Grade 10.
☑️ Skipped to school to do something Fun
I really don't know if this will be considered as skipping to do some fun. Because when I was in Grade 9 there was one time that we all thought there will be no classes in the afternoon because most of the teachers wasn't in school because they are competing with other school that's why we thought there will be classes.
All of us decided to cut the class in the afternoon because there will be no teacher at all. Some of my classmates decided to went to the covered court and ground that in the park near us. We play there and do somethings. Then the next day when we got in school we got scolded by our advisor because we all absent in the afternoon. And all of us was punish to clean the garden 😅😂.
❎ Had A Serious Injury in School
Well I haven't have experience to have a serious injuries in school but I once got accident in the stairs of school because there is something slippery that there and I rolled over around 6-7 steps down to the ground good thing it just cause me some bruise and I wasn't totally that injured.
☑️ Enjoyed Studying
I guess I enjoyed studying in quite a few times because even though I really hate studying and doing a lot if stuffs. I sometimes enjoy when there is something fun that is happening during discussion or I am so happy when I understand a thing that I am so confused about.
❎Hit someone Hard
In this one I really don't know because most of the time I don't get participate when my classmates is playing some physical games or teasing each other that end up being physical play. But there was one time that I accidentally someone in the face which is also my friend because I was passing the book and he suddenly walk by that's why the book slammed into his face he said that it doesn't hurt but I know it's quite painfully because his face turn into red.
But in terms of physical violence where it includes physical fights or what so ever I don't get involved in this such things.

Answering Some School Questions
Good day everyone I am not able to write an article yesterday because I am quite busy and I totally forgot to write one because I am already tired that's why today I will just post earlier than my usual posting time. For today's article I also want to do the challenges Never have I ever that I've been seeing from other users doing. This article is from the challenge that was done of other users like @**Eirolfeam2** and was started by **KingofReview**. I included the link of their article in their names you can read them by tapping their names. https://read.cash/@Eirolfeam2/never-have-i-ever-school-edition-dd7f4c9c https://read.cash/@kingofreview/never-have-i-ever-school-edition-1-c283cd53
Today I will answer some questions that is posted above regarding if I ever did those things when we still have face to face classes or when I am still going physically in our school. Well I can just share moments from my Junior Highschool memories because I didn't attend physically in my school in Senior high school because of the current COVID 19 Pandemic that is still happening.
Never Have Ever : School Edition
1. Skipped a class
To be honest I skip the class a quite few times during my highschool life. Well some of them is for important reasons like me being sick or I really need to do something and I bring excuse letters when this is happening. But there are a quite few times that I decided to skip a class or to be absent for the whole.
One time that I absent from school for actually no import reason is when I am in Grade 9 . I remember I skipped a whole day class but I didn't do anything bad I just spend my whole day in our house alone to be honest I am just laying in the bed the whole thinking if it's alright that I absent from the class😅.
2. Cheated on Exam
Well I guess every students might experience this once or sometimes during their school life. Well I didn't really cheat in an important exam like summative and quarterly exams. I just did in some quizzes because it's either I let someone copy my answer or I copy them because I didn't listen to the class or I am absent.
3. Forged Parent's signature
I done this a quite few times because some teachers always want our test papers to be signed by our parents before they record it. And I always forget to ask my father to sign because he also came back home in the night and most of the time I am also asleep already. But it doesn't mean that I have a low score or I failed the exams even though I am so lazy in studying I never let myself to failed in exams or in an academic performances.
4. Bullied Anyone in School
I don't know if this count bullying or not but we do tease each other and playing some dirty plays with each other like putting something in their bags or teasing each other. Some people said it was bullying but for us we are just really playing with each other and none of us get mad or get offended because we are just doing it to the people that we are close at and they are doing the same to us 🤣.
We also insult each other but we don't cross some lines in our insult it just a little thing to annoy each other.
5. Been Suspended in School
I never experienced being suspended because I am not doing anything that is bad or anything that can hurt or violate anyone. But my friend almost got suspended before because he had a fight outside the school in one student from different school.
6. Been in the Bottom Three of the Class.
I never experienced being in the Bottom 3 of our class even in Elementary. Well in Elementary I don't really care about studying but I didn't experienced being in the bottom of the class. And in my whole Junior Highschool life I also didn't experienced it. I don't want to brag but from Grade 7 - Grade 10 I am consistent at the top of our class. And I moved out from the Grade 10 as the Top 1 of our Batch.
Well the school that I went in during in my Junior High school is just a little school and have a little population but I just managed to be honor. But if you see me during those time you won't really think that I am an honor student because I don't look like those description of honor students that other said like always reading and studying.
Well as for me you won't really see it because in school I am so lazy in reading or studying. You won't even see me reading a book on my own will I just read it because I need to answer something or report something. I am not also a student that is so active in class. I am just there answering some questions if I was asked and I was even so shy to speak in the front of the class during reportings. I was often called out or being stop by the teacher because I am speaking so fast because they said that I look like I have somewhere to go but I don't really just want to stand there and report.
7. Hit Someone with a Chalk
I never experienced being hit by a Chalk that was thrown by my classmates but I do experience being hit by a paper ball and shoes in the head and face. It's not like they are bullying me but they are just playing. I was hit by a shoe in my face during Grade 7 because it was lunch time and my classmates are playing by throwing each other paper ball but they end up throwing shoes as time goes by. When I got hit I didn't get angry but I just joined them I threw my own shoes with them 😂.
Well we are still a child back then that's why I guess it was still valid that we still play during lunch time. As for the paper ball I guess most of experience those throwing plays during our highschool and elementary days. It's one of the perks in studying in Public School in young age because you get to play with other students and you are experiencing how to socialize with other students.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. Well I failed in publishing an article a day but it's alright I am really just busy yesterday and even now hahaha. There are a lot of fun and sad memories that we experienced during our school years and it was so good to reminisce that as we grow up.

I am not Drunk
Last Sunday as we continue in my grandfather's house the celebration my cousins and the oldies suddenly decided to drink a little as part of the celebration process. I am not really planning to drink because I am not really a person who drinks alcohol and I have so low tolerance of Alcohol in my body.
Some of my cousins decided to buy Soju and Yakult to be mixed in so that it will just be light alcohol because it was specifically meant for the girls or children that just want to taste because it was just like a juice that is mixed with a little bit of alcohol in it. While the elderly wants to drink a beer and some strong alcoholic drinks.
Since there are almost no visitors and guest because most of the people left is either a friend of my cousins or our long relatives that they know but I didn't 😂. They started to go the store and buy those drinks in the store. And I decided that I will just stay there because the childrens is just there playing all together but I just said it to them I don't really plan to babysit or look after those childrens 😂 they have their own parents and it's not my problem 😂 just kidding of course I look after those kids for a while but the whole time what I am doing while looking after them is eating.
I literally eat so much that an elderly friend of my grandfather said that if I am not full yet😂 because I literally just stand up to get foods from the table and come back in the chair with a lot of foods. In the situation like this where there's a lot of foods you should forget about the diet and eat because what are you gonna with all those foods? Are you just gonna stare with it all time, no you have to eat those because they are prepared for to be eaten 😅. ( ***Here's me trying to convince myself that eating so much in the celebration is alright. Sorry for this 😂)***
Let's go back to the topic when my cousins arrive I was surprised because they bought a lot of drinks. The one that is destined in the "Manginginom" are 1 case of Red Horse, 2 Bottles of Alfonso and another 2 Bottles of the Liquor that I forgot the name 😂. Well it's just alright because they are also inviting some of the neighbors of my grandfather to drink with them that's why I think it was also enough. And as for cousin that is inside they bought 6 bottles of soju, 12 pieces of Yakult and a bottle of Gatorade. The didn't buy Sprite because we have them in the refrigerator.
They first mixed some that can be taste by the youngs that just want to taste it. They get a big pithcher and pour 1 soju, 6 yalults and a whole 1.5 of Sprite then add a lot of ice into eat they just really want for them to have a taste. But they just allowed those kids that was in Highschool already. Since it was a lot I drink a whole glass from it and it literally just taste like a juice to me because I can't really taste the soju.
And as for the adults in the same super big bowl that is normally used for fruit salad if you know what it looks like they pour 3 bottles of Soju, 1.5 liters of Gatorade and 1.5 liters of Sprite. I also got requested a glass from it but when I taste it I really don't like it because I can really taste the bitterness of the but I just drink slowly the glass but what I was amazed it that my little cousin which is just 15 years old casually drinking the whole glass from it. My cousins really don't want him to drink from it but he said that he can just handle it. I am so amazed because from that mixed he drank 3 glasses so casually while I barely finished 1 glass.
He even drink again in the second mixture that they make to the remaining ingredients. But I stopped already because even though it is just a Soju mixture I don't want to be a little drunk or the alcohol take effect in my body. Then after they finished drinking my grandfather takes out a wine from his bedroom and I drink a little from. I want to take pictures while drinking of the wine but looks like a grape juice because I was drinking it from the water glass😂 that's why I just don't.
I am just feeling alright because I am not really feeling the alcohol in my body because maybe I barely consume it but when I stand up from the chair that I've been that's where I feel that the alcohol takes effect on me. I feel so dizzy but I still managed to stand and walk straight. And no one noticed that the alcohol takes effect on me because I am just acting normal. But I am feeling a quite dizzy since it's also around 6-7 pm I decided to go home already I invited my brother but he said that he will just come home later. And as for my father I don't even bother to speak because he was drinking so much outside that's why I just straight walk home.
I really don't look like someone that consumes an alcohol because I managed to walk from my grandfather's house to our house with the box of cake in my hands normally. When I got home I just feed our cats and dogs and I went to bed I am feeling dizzy that's why I just sleep. Then after a few hours I woke up and write an article about the celebration then I go back to sleep.
Author's Note
Thank you for reading this article. If might ask why I am already feeling so dizzy while I just drink so little and it was almost not an alcoholic drinks. The answer with that is I don't really drink alcohol as I've said in this article I am not really a person that likes drinking. That's why I have such low tolerance in alcohol drinks. I am just a little embarrassed that my little cousin drinks so much and it seems that it literally no effect on him while I am so dizzy in just almost such a little amount. But yeah I am not really a fan of drinking that's why it's alright 😂.

Let's Eat!! Happy 76th Birthday
Good day everyone today I will continue the article about my Grandfather's Birthday that I am not able to finish yesterday because I am sleepy and my head is also dizzy 😴.
The Cakes
Yesterday we have a lot cakes that is being served. As you may remember if you read my article a few days ago that there are also some members of our family that will also celebrate their birthdays in the following days. Well today while I was writing this article this is my Aunt's Birthday that lives in Zambales. And for tommorow my cousin will celebrate his birthday as well. Then there's my little cousin and the anniversary of my other aunt and uncle that's why there is a lot of cakes.
In total we have 8 cakes in total because the 4 is what is in the photo above but the other 4 is from the guest and visitors that arrived. We also have 3 big foil tub container if Crema De Fruita. We're are originally plan to buy cakes from different stores but when my father was buying it was raining so hard that's why we just have Goldilocks. They are 4 different flavors.
You know what after the celebration we managed to bring almost the whole cake in our house because there is no people that wants the cake because they all like the Crema De Fruita. There is also some little parts that was taken from the cake but most of them just want to taste it. After the party there is 7 cakes in total that was left and most of them have bare minimum that was taken. That's why we just decided to take it home because my grandfather said that no one will eat it when we just leave it there.
The cake that we brought home is what I eat for breakfast, lunch and snack this afternoon but still there are still some because my brother and father just taste it.
Lunch
As I've said in my last article that I got there before lunch because we will have lunch there and help to prepare. When we got there people are still cooking but we already have visitors there that's why they set up something to eat for lunch. When I got there I just help frying some hotdogs and I help to prepare some things in the table. The party was initially plan at 2 pm but we just eat lunch first.
In the photo above that foods was not complete because I wasn't able to take photos when we are done putting foods there because we already starts eating. But to catch you up our lunch was consist of Rice, Fried Chicken, Hotdog, Caldereta, Meduno and Unknown dish because I don't know what it was.
The fried chicken that is shown in the photo wasn't all the fried chicken because when they finished frying up the chickens in my estimation it was around 70-90 pieces because they used almost 7 or 8 chickens for the fried chicken alone. That's why the kitchen was full of fried chicken when they are cooking 😂. They even have to put in the big batcha I don't know what it called in English but if you know what is Batcha means then good😂.
After we eat lunch I helped myself and I washed the dishes because I don't want to my step grandma will do it because she is already tired from all the cooking and preparing.
2PM Party Started
When 2 pm started we decided to start the celebration. The first that we done was the is to sing Happy Birthday to Tatay and he blew all the candles. I want to share the pictures and videos here when he was blowing the candles but unfortunately I can't because it was so funny because my grandfather got tired of blowing all the candles because there a lot cakes and candles to blow on. After that they decided to let my grandfather watch the video greetings that they made.
After that we started to eat already unfortunately I wasn't able to get any complete photos again because I wasn't able to take a photo of the other table which is also full of foods. And you that Gelatin, Buko Pandan , Fried Chicken, Hot dogs and Pancit was still a lot of in the kitchen that's why they just keep refilling those containers because there is still a lot of it in the kitchen. That's why when the visitors started to go home all of the visitors and us all have take home foods because there are still a lot. Weren't even able to eat the ice creams in the refrigerator and there are still a lot of gelatin, Buko Pandan, and so many things that was in the refrigerator.

Happy Birthday Tatay
Good day everyone today I want to share with you guys how was this celebration day went. Today was the Birthday of our one and only Grandfather or what we all call "Tatay". All of us call him "Tatay" and for those who don't know is tatay is it was a equivalent term for father in Tagalog. All the children, grand childrens and other people who knows him call him tatay because it's what is all of us used to. And it's really suits to him very well because of us consider him as our father figure and all of us love him and respect him.
Gift for Tatay
Aside from the celebration since the pandemic started we also have gift something to our grandfather as a Birthday gift but it isn't really a material thing that can be touch and we isn't a expensive give that all of us can give. This gift that I am talking about is the Video greetings or Video Presentation. Since the Pandemic started my grandfather's celebration of his birthday became so hard because almost everyone can't come because of the travel restrictions and it's really hassle.
That's why when the pandemic started all of us is making a video greetings and one of my cousins will edit it then let my grandfather watch it. But for me I didn't shoot any video because I am feeling quite shy my brother keeps bothering me a few days ago about the video but I don't to shoot myself it isn't mean that I don't want to greet my grandfather I am just quite shy because my cousin also repost that video after the celebration. And I am quite embarrassed last year because a lot of my classmates message me about the video that's why I decided that I wont shoot myself this year.
This Morning
This morning started so early for us my father woke us up so early to help there we are waken up around 6 am then around 7 am my father and brother went away to help there and I just stay in home for the mean time because I know to myself that I don't have anything to do there in such an early hours and I will just sit there and do nothing to bare minimum.
But unlike me my father and brother have something to do there in such early. Because my brother will help to make the decorations while my father will go the city to buy more ingredients as well as to pick up the foods that we ordered and buy the some cakes. Around 11 am my brother come back in our house to take a bath take me because we are going to have lunch there.
This is the way done design that my brother and cousin made I wasn't able to take photos in my phone in the after design but this is the initial design. I am sorry that I blurred out the center because it's the tarpulin of my grandfather. I asked my brother this morning if I can post about this in my read and noise account but he said I can but I shouldn't include photos of the people. That's why I can't share the photos like this to you guys.
I will end this article for now and I will just continue it tommorow because I wasn't able to take photos using my phone I will write the part 2 tommorow when I already got some photos.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I will just continue writing about this for tommorow because my head is still spinning and I am dizzy because I drink a little but I am not drunk I am not just really used to drinking. And I will wait until I got some more photos for tommorow.

Preparing For His Birthday
Good day everyone today I want to share to all of you something that we've been busy with for the past few weeks. We've been talking and planning about one of the important man of our lives which is my Grandfather. My grandfather's Birthday is something that all of us never forgot to celebrate because everytime our family always plan this ahead of times. Before the Pandemic when it's my grandfather's Birthday all of our relatives from different places goes back here and it's like we have a Fiesta in house because almost all of the people that I know and mostly I don't know are there.
It's something that no one could ever forgot because we rather not celebrate Christmas than not to celebrate my grandfather's Birthday because it was that important😅. Then last year when COVID is so much wide spread my grandfather almost thought that we forgot his birthday but they just planned to have a surprise Birthday Party for him.
Well go back to the preparation my cousins, uncles, my siblings and almost all my family members is planning about this in the Group Chat. That's why we gathered some money that was needed for this celebration. We are not really planning a big celebration because it was still hard to do during to Pandemic as well as my Grandfather can't have a contact with a lot people because his quite old already.
Almost all the foods was already planned out and most of them is just being bought or ordered because we don't want to have a lot of trouble cooking. The things that we just have to cook is something that have to be fried and some desserts.
This afternoon my brother went out to buy some more balloons for decorations well we already have some bit they decided to buy some more. And there will be a tarpulin there because my grandfather requested that he wants tarpulin well it's not really a part of the plan of my brother and cousins but since it's was my grandfather requested it's gonna happen. Maybe my grandfather missed to have a tarpulin because before when we are celebrating his birthday we always have a large tarpulin in our house and sometimes it was many because my grandfather wants to. It's just the past few years that we stop decorating with tarpulin because we just decorate with some designs from the internet.
For tomorrow's party we are not planning to invite other people except family members. That's why it will just be a little celebration because some of our relatives can't also go.
Here's the ingredients in one of the desert that my cousin would make it's a Crema De Fruta actually tomorrow's celebration will have a quite add ons because my grandfather's Birthday is right next to my Aunt's Birthday which its his own daughter and after that day my cousin will also celebrate his birthday. Then a few days later one of my little cousin will also have her birthday.
That's why we decided to chip in a little a buy some cake for my cousin because we know that he won't be able to celebrate it like this and as for my aunt her childrens also bought another cake then as for my cousin her mother bought another cake that's why we are expecting that there will be a quite many cakes.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. It's article is quite short but I will just try to share more things about this in my article for tommorow. I also have to wake up early tomorrow to help to do some work done and I also have something important to do tommorow. Have a nice night/day ahead.

One Piece Film: Stampede
Good day everyone today I want to share about two One Piece Movies that I've watched today. Today since it was still holiday I push my luck and just use my phone and watched some anime and movies. I will share about the One Piece Movie : Stampede and the movie or special episode of One Piece that is One Piece 3D2Y. But today I will just reviewed about the One Piece Film Stampede.
https://youtu.be/S8_YwFLCh4U
One Piece Movie : Stampede
This movie was released last 2019 and to be honest I already watched it before I just got a thought of watching it again because I stumbled up in my Facebook news feed and I saw the new trailer for the next new movie of One piece that's why I thought that I will rewatch some movies of One Piece.
The story plot of this movie is about the Straw Hat Crew attending the Pirate Festival that being held again after so 20 years. In this movie we can see almost all of the " Worst Generation of Pirates" have attended this festival as well as some well known characters in One Piece like the Warlord of the Sea which is Boa Hancock and Buggy we can also see the past Warlord which is Crocodile. There is also Smoker with his vice captain. As well as the Revolutionary Army along with Sabo and others.
The main Antagonist of this movie was Douglas Bullet. He is one of the past crew mate of Gol D. Roger. He is always determined to be stronger to be able to beat Roger but he wasn't successful to do it because Roger got executed that's why he started to havock in all town that he went. That's why the Government was forced to use Buster Call just to capture and detained him in the Impel Down but he escaped from it when Luffy went there and tried to save Ace.
A lot of Pirates gathered in this Festival to join the chase to get one of the treasures that have said that Gol D. Roger left there. But they didn't know that this event was all just a plan of Festa and he teamed up with Bullet to just force the government to use the Buster Call to captured all of the pirates that attend that festival.
Bullet ate one of the Devil fruit named Gasha Gasha No Mi which allows him to disassemble all the things and formed it in the shape or form that he wanted. It was greatly used to form a Big Robot or Big Metal Armor. But Devil Fruit aside Bullet was really strong because he was able to use Armament Haki in such a Big chunk of Armor.
https://youtu.be/A_zwvhOQWtc
As well as Bullet have a strong Conquer's Haki or King Haki which is he have such a strong charisma that almost all can't handle. Luffy and the other Worst Generation just got to stood up against his Haki. He even got a epic Haki clash with Luffy. They all tried to fight Bullet but he have such an amazing amount of strength that all of the Worst Generation can handle him. Plus he also have the treasure that was found from the treasure hunt which contains the Log Pose to the Raftel that can bring anyone into the last island that Gol D. Roger visit which is said that contains all the things that you want in the whole world.
The fight continues but it seems that no one could ever tied to his strength even Luffy got beat up. While this is happening the World Government knew about the Douglas Bullet and about the treasure of Roger that's why they started to send warship to do the Buster Call. Luffy got beat up but he was just saved by Ussopp good thing before it get worsen they were found by Chopper and Brook that's why Luffy was treated by Chopper.
Luffy got back and he teamed up with his other friends that contains of Hancock, Smoker, Sabo and Law . They teamed up to defeat Bullet they are trying to remove the layer of Bullet's Armor with their powers combined. While Luffy is fighting him with his Gear Fourth. They managed to remove it and it's help them to Luffy to fight Bullet. Bullet almost re - assemble but thanks to Ussopp it stops and breaks the inner layer. Then Bullet and Luffy fight each other with their full strength.
Luffy managed to defeat Bullet and he got the treasure. Then the Cipher Pol started to go and have objective to get the log pose. But Luffy decided to break the log pose because he didn't need it to his adventure and he will find the One Piece in his own way. The island is almost destroyed by the Buster Call that's why they all starts to get away. They almost got caught by the government but thanks to the fire wall of Sabo all the Pirates managed to get out.

Relax now, Panic Later !!!
Good day everyone today I want to share things that I do today for just absolutely no reason 😁. As you may know if you are living in the Philippines today and tomorrow is National Holiday because it's Maundy Thursday and Black Friday. This 2 day holiday was meant for us to think, repent and have a realization of our sins. That's why a lot people is just staying inside of their houses and suppose to stay quiet and peaceful these following days. Because of this occasion it gives me a chance to have a 4 day break or vacation from school.
Yesterday's exam was quite tough and after that exams I feel so exhausted for some reason that's why I get to write properly last night because I feel like light headed and I can't concentrate my thoughts. Last night after I published an article I am supposed to get to sleep already because I think I am done for today and I need a rest because I also done some physical works last day around our house. But guess what I didn't go to sleep and I decided to watch anime and k-dramas because it's been a while since I managed to watch anime and k-dramas for long hours.
In my original plan last week I am supposed to watch the new K-drama Business Proposal or Twenty five - Twenty one because I've been seeing those for quite a long time in my news feed. To be honest I haven't watched a lot of k-drama this year and last year because I haven't actually seen the Squid Games and the other one that is really popular before that is about school and zombies I just forgot the title of it😂.I am supposed to start to watch the Business Proposal last night but as I scrolled down I saw that I still have a K-drama that I haven't finished yet which is "The Doom in Your Service"
I saw that I managed to finished 8 episodes already before and it was quite a long time that is just sitting in my videos that's why I decided to finished it last night. I managed to watch until episode 13 because I stayed up to 5 am this morning just by watching it and after I wake up this morning with almost 3-4 hours of sleep I just do somethings around in our house and continue to watch it. I already finished watching it this afternoon I won't talk about the plot of the story because it will take so long if I narrate it myself 😅.
Due Activity ( Due today, Do today)
Back to reality after I finished watching that k-drama for some reasons I suddenly open my account for school and I saw that I have something that was due today. It's an activity that was given to us a few weeks ago but it totally slipped off my mind because I thought I already done it. This activity was to make a Pedigree chart.
I think some of you know what is Pedigree chart is but if you don't I will try to explain it. A Pedigree Chart is like a family tree but in this chart you just don't have to include the names of your family but also you have to investigate a trait or decrease that is being passes by the generation in your family. Just like the photo above is what we can say a family tree or a family chart because it shows the members of the Family . In my work I am trying to investigate who in our Family got the trait of Curly hair.
In this photo I already fill up or shade the family members that have a curly hair. Can you guess where I am in that chart 😂. Well it looks quite messy in the photo because I haven't polished the shading in that photo but unfortunately I can't show you the final results because the final results contains the name of our Family members. But I rest assured you that I managed to clean the coloring in that as well as I add an original to it. It took me almost 4-5 hours to do because I keep making mistake before because I am trying to fit it in one bond paper but I successfully managed to do it by just connecting two bond papers using tape.
Well that Pedigree chart is quite incomplete because I haven't put some of my cousins and auntie & uncle because I don't know what to do for the step families like some of my cousins and uncle.
I managed to pass it this evening but I am shocked because there is a lot more activity added in our accounts. I still have some activities that I haven't done yet that is due next week and my initial plan is to do it in these holidays but I decided to just to do it later. It's not like I have something important to do right now but I am feeling tired and exhausted to do all of this things again in again that's why I decided that I will just do it later or in the next following days.
This holiday is a perfect time to continue writing my research paper but I will just rest this holiday but I promised to myself that I will do it later. I will just think that these days where my vacation days and I will just work harder in the following weeks.

Thank you for reading this article. I know to myself that this time is the perfect time to do things that I have to do but I just don't feeling to do it yet that's why I will postponed it a little 😅. It might seems like laziness well I can't really deny about it because this in fact I am doing is procastrinating but yeah whatever 😂.
These two days was supposed to be a meant as a healing time for our body and soul but look what I am doing I am staying up all night and day watching things out. This night I want to rewatch some movies that I want and I can't sleep early today because it's April 14 and this midnight will have a sale and I am aiming to get some more Piso deals 😁.

Things to Consider in Buying Laptop
Good day everyone today I will continue the article that I wrote yesterday about the **Laptop for Students**. Yesterday I managed to tell about the importance or the relevance of having an own laptop to me as a student and my one bad time experience that I encountered because of not having own laptop. Today I will try to show you guys the things to consider in buying or the things to look for when buying a laptop. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/laptop-for-students-e70bc684
***PS: I am just thinking of buying it but I don't have any plan of buying it as of the moment because I have to find a way to get it or to at least to save up enough money to buy it.*** **I** ***am also not a professional about it.***
https://youtu.be/jIFqzUi-aNo
Researching
I want to buy a laptop for my own use but I don't want to be someone that just will buy a laptop on the spot if the time comes that's why as early as now I am trying to make a simple research about the good specifications of laptops and things that I need to look for when buying a laptop. Because it's hard to buy a laptop and you will regret it later because you don't make your own research anything about it and you can't properly use it to your actual needs. Well you know buying gadgets is like buying tools well you can consider gadgets as a tool because everyone have their own functions, strengths and weakness.
Laptop also falls into the category of gadgets that's why it also have different types, models, storage and etc. that can be used in different things depending on what will be your purpose of buying it. There laptops that the sole purpose is just for basic stuffs like using Word, Excel, and other other pretty much basic things that the normally people uses laptop for. There also laptop that can be used in streaming things on well it's pretty much the same as the first one but it have a great screen and clarity that specifically can increase the streaming quality of yours. Then there's also laptops that for heavy use like coding, AutoCAD and Gaming laptops this kind of laptops is the one that needs a big RAM and Memory to handle those things that the user is doing.
Since I am literally no expert about things in laptop the research that I am doing in to look for the laptop the I want or need is by watching professional tech reviewers from YouTube because they know better about this things and stuffs. There are a lot of tech gadgets reviewers that I follow or watching. Like Ms. Mary Bautista that is known for reviewing the gadgets I am always watching her blogs and she also have a review about laptops but I trusted Ms. Mary on Phones because it's the thing that she always review and she is known for it. There's also Mr. Alvin Tries Tech and The laptop Factory that I am watching when it comes to laptop because both of them specialized in reviewing laptops.
https://youtu.be/jIFqzUi-aNo
The Video that is attached above is one of the videos from the Laptop Factory where they gave tips and advice about the things that you might need to avoid or to look for when you are considering buying your own laptop. The 8 things that he said to avoid in buying or tips in buying laptops in that video are:
The Low Memory Laptop
HDD Storage Laptop
Low Storage
Should be upgradeable
Second Hand Laptop
Windows 7 Laptop
Low Generation Laptop
Doesn't Meet your Requirements
Well I am not gonna discuss all about it because I am no expert about it but I will share the things that I know to myself that really useful and a brief description about those things. The Low Memory laptop it's was really a factor that I am looking for because when you bought a low memory laptop it tends not to meet or do the things that you need to do with it. Especially for the heavy uses of it like Coding and AutoCAD that I might use in college. He advised to at least buy a laptop with 8gb or more so that it can at least handle those things. The 2nd one is which is the HDD he just advising to buy the SSD one because it will help to have much faster processing.
The 3rd one which is about the Low Storage is also pretty much the same with the cellphones you have to at least find a quite big storage if you are gonna download a lot of things there. Should be upgradeable in this one it was a really necessary if you want to upgrade your laptop but if this qualifications doesn't meet you can just use a different storage. Second Hand Laptops well I am not really against in this one because not all of us especially me have their own budget to buy the brand new laptop but the thing the he emphasize that you at least know the history of the laptop because if this laptop have a bad history like being sooked in water the laptop won't function as it used to be.
I will just share my thoughts about the last one which is the most important thing when your are buying a laptop. You should know if the laptop that you are buying meet the requirements that you needed in the specific things that you need it for. In short you should choose and buy a laptop according to your needs because for example you want a gaming laptop where you can play high quality games but you bought a 2 gb laptop it was pretty much impossible to do because that have amount of RAM can't cover or do the things that you want it for.

Laptop For Students
Good day everyone today I want to share a topic that I've been thinking for a while now. This past few months I've been thinking of me wanting to buy my own laptop. Yes, laptop you may ask why did I did a laptop for and the one of the main reason for this is for studying. Well in my grade level which is Grade 12 student laptop is really much not a must because I can still continue my studies without or with the minimal use of laptop at all. Because our lessons pretty not relay on laptop because we can attend in online in Phones or tablet but the only problem is the activities being given by the teacher because some of it really need a use of laptop cause there are things that the cellphone is limited to do or can handle.
Last year during the the very first day of class in 1st semester our homeroom teacher gave a survey/ poll where you can pick the answers. Most of the questions of it is about online classes and it's accessibility and one of those questions is that " Who have an access to a Laptop or Computer?" There are 3 options in that poll it is :
Students who owns his/her laptop or computer setup.
Students that have at least 1 or 2 laptop or computer that can be access during limited times or being shared with other people.
Students who don't own a laptop/computer at own and have no access to it at all.
Well for me I picked the number 2 because there was a laptop that I can access at home which is my brother's laptop. When the poll ended we I am surprised by the results because 68 % of the class have their own laptop or computer at home that they have access with. I am surprised because I thought there will be a little or at least less 25% of my classmates just have their own laptop because we are still Senior High school. Then for the option there are 27% of students that have a laptop or computer that is being shared with other people. And the remaining 5% is the students that no access in laptop or computer at all. Our teacher asked those students to pm her and after a while she chatted then said it was already alright because most of those students have relatives who can they can borrow for sometimes.
Well as far in my experience the Laptop / Computer wasn't really a necessity in attending classes but it is for the activities because they are really activities that mostly need a laptop/ computer because it was so hard to do or perform using phone especially if the phones wasn't advance enough. And personally I've already experience a couple of times where I really need laptop but I can't use my brother's laptop because he was still using it. I want one of those experience.
Last February I don't remember the date 😅. There was a time where I really need a use of computer or laptop because I have to edit something. That day I have to edit a documents that will be submitted in the next 2 days in our main campus. I need a laptop/ computer to edit and type those things because I don't want to do it during the day where it have to passed because I don't want to rush. But that day and week was a really bad timing to do something like this for me because it was the exam week of brother and he still have a lot to do because he was a college student and it was really a necessity especially in his course.
Since I have no choice but to find somewhere else to do it. The first thing that I think to do is to go in Computer shops that's why I went out and try to find some. But I am so unlucky that time because I go all around the computer shops I know in our Barrangay but all of them is already closed and some of them is still open but they are just doing prints and not renting a computer because of the COVID all of them closes because of the health protocols that is being ruled. I was really upset that time at that time it was raining pretty harsh and I am walking for so long to see if there is a computer shop open but all of those efforts goes to waste because nothing is open and operating their business already.
I went home that day where my shorts and some parts of my shirt is wet from splashes of rainwater. I was really hopeless that time because I know to myself that I can't really borrow my brother's laptop because he was also busy. I am thinking borrowing in some of my relatives but I rather not because I really don't like the character of some of my relatives and all of them is quite far.
But a good news came in that time. Because one of my friend ask me to check his work and ask me if I am already done with mine. I chat with him and explain my situation that's why he volunteered that he can just do the editing stuffs in his computer because he was already done with his work. I just sent him all the contents of my work including all the photos, text, and etc. good thing is that I already pre made the contents of my work in my phone and I just have to edit mine to be organized in the laptop or computer.
While he was doing mine I just reviewed his work. I told him the things that he have to change or edit in his work because some of them is not really good that's why I fixed it and just told him so that he can edit it in his computer. I was really happy that time because I wasn't really expecting that he will volunteer to help me and do it in his computer good thing that friend of mine is really kind.

Random Online Shopping Orders
Good day everyone today was my examinations day for Midterm or 3rd Quarter exam. Today I first take the subjects that I know that doesn't have any calculations or solving to do because I thought it will more easier because I don't have to solve for anything and stuffs. But I don't really know if it was really easy well there are questions that I know or quite familiar with but there are more questions that I don't really have any idea with. I don't know if this was even taught in class. I attended all the class in that subject but we never discussed about it that's why I am even more confused 😅.
I tried to Google it but it just makes me more confused and it consumes a lot of time that's why I just leave it by the luck😂. Well this isn't my main topic of this article that's why I will stop telling about it now😂. The main topic of my article for today is about the random things that I bought again online I don't really know the time on when did I bought it but it might go between March 30 to April 4 because that's when the sale happened.
This article will be dedicated to my orders that doesn't cost 1 peso like my previous article but most of it are also just cheap and things that we might really need.
**Gard Shampoo**
Well this was really a necessity for us because all of us in our house use this brand of shampoo for our hair because it was literally effective. The one that we always buy is either the black or the green one but I just thought that we should be try different variants.
I already do groceries from the other day that Pure gold had a sale in our Barrangay but they don't have any Gard Shampoo that's why I decided that I will just buy it from Shoppe. And I think that I should really bought all of it from Shopee because I will save a lot bigger if I choose to buy it all from Shoppe but I already bought it that's why it's alright 😅.
Dog Collar with Bowknot
I bought two dog collar but from different shop. In this one I am thinking that I will just give it to one of our cats because the puppies that we have is both boys. I don't think the color pink plus bow tie will suit to them. Well this order haven't arrived yet that's why I am still thinking.
Pen with re-fillers
I'm this one I wasn't really sure if I am gonna include it in my Piso purchase because it was originally from the Piso Sale but I also bought a pen for it because the filler is the one only one that cost 1 peso. I really don't know why I did but this to be honest 😂 but it writes so well. But the most thing that I am so impressed with this product is that it just take less than 2 days to arrive it even out run some of my orders last March 15 and 16 that's how fast it is. I am thinking that I will add this order to my Piso purchase articles because it also cost one peso on the fillers.
Blue Dog Collar
In this one I am also pretty sure that it will be given in either one of our puppies but I am still wasn't sure who will get it but it haven't arrived yet that's why I still don't know. I want to buy them some collars with bells because they are starting to go around and sometimes I don't know where they are but using this it will be easier to find them especially that they learn to hide everywhere around the house and even in neighbor's house.

Sunday not Monday
Good day everyone today I want to share a little crazy and fun that happened this morning 🤣. Last night I was awake until 3:30 because I am doing something. I was doing some activity last night up to around 12 am but I feel tired already that's why I just decided to go in bed already. I tried to sleep so hard but I still can't maybe it was still the effect of caffeine in my body because I just had my coffee around 11:45 while writing something.
Since I can't still sleep I just decided to use my phone maybe to help me fall asleep but I am wrong with that 😂. It doesn't help me to fall asleep at all 😂. I was just consecutively switching between YouTube and Facebook all the time and doing the same thing there and that is to watch videos. I am just continuing watching until I already loose track of time.
I just noticed what time it is when I heard my father who just got home. He just got home because he went drinking and even though I am in my room I really do know that he was so drunk because he keeps speaking in himself then cursing and complaining in a lot if things. In that time I only noticed that it was already 3:30 am and I haven't slept yet. That's why I put away my phone and sleep.
Then this morning I suddenly wake up at 7 am because I thought it was already Monday 😂. Because as you may know I have a Midterm or 3rd Quarter Exams that is scheduled this Monday to Wednesday. I thought it was already Monday that's why I forced myself to get up and ready the things I need which is my notebooks, calculator, pen, pencil, paper and the tablet of my brother.
After I set that things up I am feeling so sleepy but I tried to fight it that's why I make myself a cup of coffee. Then I just sit there and around 7:30 I opened my account in school but in my surprised there is no exams yet. I convinced myself that I will wait until 8 am because maybe the system is still isn't working yet. I just use my phone and wait.
Around 8 am I checked but again and there is still no exams. In this moment I am starting to feel a little anxious about and I am over thinking stuffs like what if my payment didn't go in the system, what if there's a problem in my account and there still a lot more. I wanted to message me teacher about this already but when I opened my messenger. I saw that my friend is online that's why I chat him first. ( *The original conversation is in Tagalog that's why I will just translate it all to English)*
Me: Hey!! Did you check your account already did you already take the exam?
Him : Not yet wait I will check.
Me: Okay okay, I still don't have my exams yet I am waiting for it since 7 and I am starting to feel scared hahahaha 😂.
Him : You crazy hahahaha.. It was still Sunday and tommorow will be exams 🤣.
After I read it I checked my calendar and to my surprise it was still really Sunday 🤣. After that I was laughing so hard at myself while replying to him but I replied a different thing because if I admit that I mistakenly think that today was Sunday he will just tease me 😂. That's why replied.
Me: I know 😂 it's a prank hahaha I just wanted to know if you remember that we will have exams tomorrow 😂.
Him: You are crazy😂 I was still comfortably in my bed and you freak me out in my bed to open my laptop and check my account 😂 .
Me: Hahhahahaha I got you 😂.
Him: You sick hahaha Bye I will go back to sleep you ruin my morning hahahaha
Me: Hahahahahahahahaha
I really don't remember that today was still Sunday 😂. That's why I am laughing even though our conversation already ended. I just go back to sleep because it's also quite cold because of the weather and I am still sleepy.
Author's Note:
Thank you fir reading this article. I really don't know what happened why do I mistakenly think that today was Monday 😂. And because of that I pulled a little joke on my friend hahaha but don't worry he was kind and good he wouldn't be angry or irritated with this kind of things because he have a ton of patience within him 😅.

Meeting a Real Life Karen
Did you know the term that suddenly boom at the start of Pandemic in other countries especially in the US. The term "Karen" which refers to the person that being mad at the store or being an entitled person that complains or getting mad for just a little reason. I really taught I won't be able to see like that here at Philippines because the famous here is the "Marites"but as I am in the Bayan Yesterday I suddenly witness a scene where there are "Karen" involved.
Yesterday as I go inside one of the department store in the mall because it's been raining so hard outside that's why I decided to wait until the rain weaken or stopped. I just went there because there are almost no customers and I want at least to look for something. As I go inside the establishment there are only person that is looking around and 2 person that in the cashier section. As I am walking inside there was also another person behind me that really looks like a foreigner I guess because to me she doesn't look like a Filipino.
Well back to me, I am just planning to look around and maybe get one item that I might need. I just go around the ailes and look around then I suddenly go to the home needs section where you can choose things that might be useful in the house. I am just there looking and the other person that came next to me is also in that section I saw her that is looking in the things that's why I just don't go near her. She have a basket where she puts the items that she get but I didn't get basket for me because I won't really bought a lot of things. I saw that she was getting something out of the shelf but she might didn't notice that while she was getting the thing out it bumped to the other shelf and there was a stick or something that fell out. I really don't know what is it because I wasn't really looking I just happened to see but I really do anything because I am looking at the tumblers because they have a One Piece Design that's why I am thinking of getting it 😂.
She might didn't notice the stick that fell out because she was looking in her basket and I thought that she will already leave the aile because she looks like she will walk away that's why I thought that I will picked up the thing that fell and put it on the shelf. But she suddenly come back that's why I stopped and just pretend to look in those shiny pots which is so embarrassing 😂. I just look at it and I heard a cracked from the floor and I saw that the woman stepped on it and it broke.
She looks around to maybe look if there's anyone saw that but I just pretend to not noticed or see it because I am thinking of her reaction or might do. I am thinking that she either put it in the basket to pay for it or just leave or hide it there so it will looks like she also don't know about it but to my surprise she have a different reaction and she done differently to my expectation.
She picked up the item and go near the cashier. Then she started to complain about the item she asked to the person in the cashier why they are selling broken items and why it is on the floor. She also said that it might be a health hazard or cause an accident. I was really surprised that she said because she is the one that stepped on it. She is speaking English that's why I really thought that she is a foreigner but as she was speaking I suddenly heard her talking in Tagalog.
She was complaining in the cashier about the item. Well it is quite different from the one that I am seeing in Facebook where the Karen is screaming and speaking so loud but she is just speaking loud enough to be heard that's why it wasn't causing a lot if attention or getting attention from the outside. She is speaking in front of the cashier about it and I pretend that I don't really hear or see it because I also think that the other one customer is doing the same because she wasn't looking in the cashier and just looking in the bags. I also noticed that she was definitely listening because I saw before that she was wearing an earphones but when I look at her now it was removed and just in her shoulders.
I also pretend to not noticed it and just went in the school supplies area because I need to buy something. She was still complaining about that item that is broken and the cashier is apologizing about and just said that she can just get a new one in the aile then the another person in the cashier gets it. I hear that the person stops talking and just said to the cashier that it just okay with her if they gave her a discount or a free item.
I almost turned my head after hearing the because that is really ridiculous in that moment I really wanted to speak up and tell that it's the woman's fault but I just can't because I am so embarrassed and I am thinking that it might get worse if I joined in that conversation. I saw that the woman got irritated and just walk away from the store she didn't even check out those things that is in her basket.
I saw that the cashier looks like stress that's why I just picked out the things I need for my activity which is bond paper, pencil, sharpener, ruler and eraser. Then I just pay and walk outside then I just go to the grocery which is the part of my yesterday's article.
Conclusion/ Realization
When I got home I feel really embarrassed because I didn't say anything while I am in that store and I feel bad for the lady in the cashier because she experience that because I an really thinking that the problem would be much bigger if other parties join in. I also feel very bad because I enjoyed that situation a little bit because I was amaze to see a real life "Karen"😂. That's why I feel really bad about it.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. In this experience I feel a little excited because I finally saw a real life Karen but I also feel really bad for the cashier that until now I really feel that it's my fault. Because I think that if I didn't see what happened maybe the lady wouldn't react that way.

Buying a little treat and Paying up my tuition.
Good day everyone I am not really feeling well yesterday because my body feels so sore but the good thing is that I feel a lot better this morning and I feel like I am full of energy this morning. Let me share the things that I do today.
Well my quarter exam is scheduled to happen next week from Monday - Wednesday. We have 3 days to take all the exams because the following days where National holiday and it's already holy week. That's why I need to pay my remaining tuition fee for me to be able to take my exams. I just need to pay my remaining tuition for the last few months. I just a lot 600 pesos budget for it.
I have some money that I use to buy and pay tuition this day because finally my father and cousin already pay me for their debts. My father just got his paycheck last March 30 after a few months of waiting. He paid some of his debt to us because he borrowed some money from us. He paid me 1000 pesos that he borrowed from me last February and my cousin also paid her debt to me last February which is 500 pesos.
She borrowed to me last February because she wants to buy a new things that she liked and she told me last February that she can pay me in the 1st week of April. And this is one thing that I really like about her because even though she borrowed money for things that she doesn't really need but she always pay back in the time that she said no matter what that's why I don't hesitate to lend her some money when she needs and I have extra because she knows how to pay back in the time that she said.
That's why I have extra 1500 pesos with me that I totally forgot that's why this money was not included in the long term budget that I made. Well I do have some cash on delivery orders online but I already plan and save the money that I have to pay for that. That's why I can use this money and the first thing that came to my mind is to pay my tuition because I don't want to wait for my father to give me before I pay because most probably he forgot even though I already told him so many times.
I decided that go to bayan this morning after my first class even though it's raining because I can't pay for it tommorow because it's also a National holiday and I am not sure if the payment center is open. I also can't pay in Sunday because it takes 24 hours to reflect in our account so that my exams won't open in time that's why I pushed to go today even though I am feeling so lazy about it. I budget my money first I bring the 1500 pesos that I got and I also bring another 500 pesos from my savings in emergency purposes. My only reason to go to bayan is to pay my tuition and nothing else but I got distracted and I suddenly go to the grocery.
Right after my class I immediately take a bath and dress up quickly because it's so cold. I just ride jeepney to go there and I am surprised because the fare increase again. Right after I finished to pay my tuition I am supposed to go home but the rain is so hard that's why I decided to just wait for the rain to stop it lessen it's strength. That's why I waited in the mall that's above the supermarket. I just walked there and go inside in the few stores to just look around and I experienced something crazy but I want to share that in the different article 😂.
I suddenly saw a woman that's just got out of the grocery that's why I also go inside and initial to just look but I ended up buying some things. I just bought 2 Pringles for me and my brother and I bought some pineapple juice that is in the can for my father because his complain about his high blood pressure recently. That comes in the pack of 6. I just thought to buy something because I have an extra money and it's awkward to walk outside the grocery especially there's only 3 customer that time and I am one of them.
As I am walking to the jeep station it rained again that's why I just got inside the 7-11. It's already 1 pm and I haven't eaten anything that's why I am so hungry but the chairs and tables is full that's why I just take out some slurpies and big bite from 7-11 for me and my brother I didn't buy any for my father because he wasn't in the house and he will just come home in the evening then walk outside to ride the jeep. Good thing the jeep was immediately full that's why we are able to depart much more faster. I really want to eat the hotdog or take a sip in the slurpies but I am embarrassed and scared to take off my mask in public especially it's an enclosed space that's why I just waited until I got home. When I arrived home I immediately take a photo of this and eat it then I also eat some rice because I am literally so hungry.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I am feeling kinda hungry while writing this article and the Pringles that I bought for myself is half already. I am planning for it to last at least a week but I think was impossible 😂.

The OLD Barber Shop
Good day everyone last Tuesday I decided to have an hair cut because it was raining so hard and I am pretty sure that there will be no customers there as of the moment and when I got in their there was only one customer and it was almost done that's why I am happy because I am able to have a haircut without anyone looking or waiting for me to be done because I feel quite uncomfortable when that things happen.
Well going back I finished to have a my haircut and I just go back in our house because it was still raining so hard. I really do need to have a haircut because if I remember correctly the last time I get the hair cut was last January and because of that my hair already goes a lot but the bad thing is that it my hair doesn't grow nice because it just became a little curly and crumpled up in my head that's why I looked like a rooster 😂.
This morning when I finished my class and my teacher asked us to open our camera for attendance I was surprised because my teacher suddenly call my name and said. " Wow buti naman nag pagupit ka haha lagi ka kasing mukhang bagong gising kapag nag pipicture" in English he said that it's a good thing that I already had a haircut because I always looks like a person who just wake in the photos of attendance. Well I see that my classmates laugh that's why I became a little embarrassed but I wasn't offended in his joke because he always does that all the time in our class and he said it in the nice and funny way.
The Old Barber Shop
After that class I suddenly remember the old baber shop where I was always getting my haircut since I was in Elementary. Ever since I was grade 3 I always go to one barber shop that was introduced by my uncle before. I was a getting a haircut that in baber shop that was in the back of the gasoline station that is just a few minutes away from our house. I always go there since Elementary because the location of the barber shop is nice because there is not a lot people that is getting a haircut and unlike some barber shop near us the passenger by won't be able to see that you are getting a haircut because it was inside there house.
I remember that when I was in Elementary I used to have a schedule when to go there and it was every 6 weeks. Every six weeks I always go there to get my hair trimmed and I used that schedule until I was in Highschool. I always go there in the date that I set up by myself and since I've been doing it for so long the barber there already know when I was going to get myself a haircut. There was even one time that I missed count of the week and I forgot to have a haircut.
And the by the next week I came to the barber shop the first thing that the baber said to me is that he was expecting me last week. I am surprised that the baber already memorized my schedule. And I just get a haircut in advance when I was to attend an event and my hair doesn't look that nice.
But when the pandemic started the baber shop closes because there is no customers and the baber is also getting old because he was already a barber for such a long time. And because the barber shop that I always go is already closed I have a pretty hard time to get a haircut because I am not used to go to other barbers. I am always taking a haircut in that baber shop for almost 8 years and I have a pretty hard time to adjust to this because even though there's a baber shop that is just near us I don't want to go the because it was always full of customers and the people passing by can see you having a haircut because it was a open shop and it's uncomfortable that everyone that will pass by will look into me and all the other customers is sitting and watching the barber while I am getting a haircut. It was so uncomfortable for me that's why last 2020 I managed to not to have any haircut for almost 6-7 months and I already uncomfortable about it because my hair wasn't that nice that's why I always wear hat that time.
Now I don't have any baber shop that that I always go to now. I just picked a random baber shop near us when I need to have a haircut and I always pick the baber shop where there is only a little amount of customers or I just wait until I think that the barber shop wouldn't have a lot of customers.

Thank you for reading this article. I wasn't really planning to write today because feeling a little sick since yesterday but I was already feeling better this afternoon that's why I just write today. I just take a medicines this morning and take rest when my class ended.
You must think why I am having a hard time to get a haircut to a new baber shop. And one of the most important reason why it that I am not really a people who is used to a sudden change especially when I am already doing things for a long time. Like this one because I am already having a haircut in that baber shop for such a long years I am having a hard time to adjust to new things.

Exams in the Pool
Last Monday we had a sudden swimming in the nearby resort again in our house. Last Monday was so hot and that's why my cousins suddenly decided to plan a swimming in the same day. I personally don't want to come because I am having a summative exam that day and I have to attend in class to be able to take that. But all of them decided to go even my brother and sister decided to come that's why I just also come because you don't want to be left out especially all of them is going.
They decided for all of us meet in the gasoline station nearby the resort so that we can all go together and they assigned each house to bring specific foods. My brother just decided that we will bring some fried eggplant and all the utensils needed to eat like paper cups, plastic spoon and fork then a Paper plate and we also bring some rice and a water to drink. We all met up in the gasoline station at 9:30 and we just ride a tricyle to get there while others who have their own vechicle just follow by. When we got there we are literally shook out because there's a lot people in the resort we even think that it wasn't Monday because almost all of the cottage is already rented. There are only 3 cottages left the one near the kids pool,the farthest cottage from the pool and the cottage near the basket ball court. It's literally just almost 9:45 and the resort is almost full. The one that my cousins picked is that the one near the kid's pool because we have a lot kids we us and it's big enough for all of us.
The first thing that we do is to cook while the kids already started swimming we started to cook because since it was literally just plan this morning we have no preparation for the foods at all and most if them have to be cook. Good thing there was a grilling racks in the resort. We just grilled some pork, tilapia and I don't know what is was called and I also forgot to take photos before we eat. But back to the cooking I just helped at the start because I watch over my niece because we are just going around the resort. We stopped for so long in the place where they have some animals like pigeons, parrot, unknown bird ( I don't know what it was called 😂) , rabbits and a hamster. We are just there for so long because my niece really entertain to the rabbit that was eating some grass.
Before 11 am I left my niece in my sister because I have to attend my class because I have to take my summative in one subject that morning. To be honest I am not really the only one student who is also there while answering the summative. Because apparently there's another student that was in the next cottage of us. And I am sure that he goes to the same school as me because I heard them talking about it. I just feel a little bad for him 😅 because ever since I got in the resort I saw him in the cottage alone with some elders and he was taking an exam. And it's almost 11 and he was still not finished. I just don't know if he was at the same age as me maybe he was at grade 11 because he looks so much younger than me.
When I was about to start to attend I am worried that we might need to open cam and I don't want anyone to know that I am in the resort while taking summative good thing my teacher didn't require us to open our camera. While I was answering I heard the an old Lola from the other cottage said that I am also answering an exam same as the boy that she was lecturing. I was so embarrassed because she was lecturing that we students paroritize he swimming than taking exams then see started comparing that boy to the old days when they are just still a student she says a lot of things maybe that student was already irritated 😅 because of this. Good thing I immediately finished my summative because it's just 30 items multiple choice, 10 items fill in the blank and the other 10 was just a simple paragraph about the topic the was written as soon as I finish I left the class because the teacher permitted us to leave as soon as we are done.
As soon as I am done was so surprised because there's more people than we got here and there are still some more coming I saw the staffs of the resort starting to build some shed and provide it with the chair and tables because the cottage run out and there's still a lot of people. I am became scared because the resort was literally so crowded and the pools is full of people that's why I didn't want to swim there. I just go in the pond where they a lot of Koi Fish it was literally amazing because the fish was so big and there's a variety of colors like orange, black and mixed black & orange.
After the few minutes we started to eat already there was a lot foods that we eat and when I am done eating I immediately left and go the pool because the crowd already started to go out of the pool to eat. I go to the pool but I didn't swim yet I just take photos of the water 😂
This was just a spot where there are no swimmers because of lunch but as soon as they finished eating the crowd starts to go back. I don't want to swim because there's a lot people that I don't know and I am uncomfortable about it 😂 and I don't them to see me because I don't know how to swim 😂 literally I don't really know how that's why I am embarrassed when other see in the pool.
After I take some photos I just go back to the cottage. My sister is also scared because there's literally people everywhere and there's still more coming and she asked why they are still accepting guest but my other cousin said that it is because not all times is like this because there's days that there are no guest in the resort and these days was just the resort being popular because of the hot weather and because of this the resort won't miss this opportunity to get back from those days.
I just stay there and wait until 1 pm because have another class that I have to take. After I finished to take my last summative for that day I decided to go at least at the pool just to say that the money we paid is worth it. Then I just stay in the pool in the few minutes and go away imediately because there's a lot of people and I don't like the color of the water 😅. I just go back to the cottage because it was cooler there and I saw my sister and my niece didn't go to at least swim because my sister is scared for my niece because of the large number of crowds. We just stayed there and go around the resort and go back to the pool a few minutes before we left and we already go home. After I got home I slept immediately and woke up at night.

PISO Things (Part 3)
Good day this article will be the last part of the list that I bought last March 15 and 16. It was all already delivered to me some of them takes time to be delivered but it was understandable because it was from overseas. And today this orders from that day was already complete and all delivered. So far there's no other problem related to this product because sometimes the seller just choose to cancel the order when like this but good thing they all send the parcels.
Phone Holder
All the items that is in this article was just delivered today. This phone holder will be very helpful to me because I sometimes struggles to put my phone in my phone holder that I also got in shoppe. This has a pretty good design that can holds your phone or tablet properly because of its structure. Actually I am so sorry for the delivery man that delivers it today because as you may know that today was a pretty cold and rainy that that we experienced here at our place today. And when I saw him delivers this I noticed that he so wet in his jacket because his raincoat have a cut and that's why the rain is straighting to his jacket. He must not expect the rain today because it's been pretty sunny since yesterday and he didn't prepare his raincoat because he didn't notice that it was broken. And based on the contents of the sack that was in his motorcycle he still have a lot parcels to deliver.
Sealing Clip with Nozzle Mouth
This product will be so helpful if you have something that you bought like chips or snacks that you didn't finish immediately because it will prevent the moisture to get in and the chips not crispy. This was also good when you bought something liquid that is in plastic bag like those big liter of cooking oil that you are buying to the supermarket you can just use this nozzles and attached it to the product so that you don't have to transfer it to different container just to may sure you won't spill it when you use it.
Cute little toys
This toys was so cute and adorable that's why I bought it. This item was literally intended to be a gift to the little childrens because I know I won't use it. When this came this afternoon I immediately try it if it works and it was. Actually I have a little fun playing with it😂 . The mini turtle pull toy is just so easy to use. You just place it the flat surface then pull it then it will drive so fast. This item works really well. The other one is the something that sticks the wall. I remember when I was young this kind of toy is really popular because it sticks to the wall and it just entertaining to watch it like that 😂.
The 17 Products
So this is the end of the article that talks about the Piso Sale that I bought last March 15 and 16. I am actually thinking to continue to write about this because I still have a lot orders that will came but I ordered it in different date. But for now this is the end of my Shoppe piso purchase. All of this items cost 1 peso but the overall price that I pay is 16 pesos from my Shoppepay because the other 1 peso is from my coins. In my point of view this Piso sale products is so successful. Well even though the half of this items where will be given to others but I am still happy.
Why do they have a Piso Sale?
You might ask why the sellers is doing this Piso sale is Shoppe and there's a lot answer to that. One of the main purpose of this Piso Sale is to promote the shop. When you are a new seller it's hard to get customers because you haven't made any single order and the other buyers might think that you are a scam. But if they do this they can build a reputation to the eyes of the buyers so that they will have more trust in buying from your shop. That is why I am always leaving a honest and proper review to all the products that I bought so that there sale wouldn't be pointless and will help them to build there reputation.
The second reason why it was because it wasn't selling. The sellers might put some products that wasn't really selling from their store because they rather than put those in really cheap price than let it just be stuck and broke in the their warehouse. The third one is the clearance sale this items really happens when they have to restock there items and they will just basically just gave this things for so cheap or almost free price but this kind of products is so fast to be sold out everytime that's why I rarely get some. The last part I think is when they have a special events because they want to give this items for the support and love they received.

One Peso Online Shopping (Part 2)
Good day everyone I almost forgot to write to today because I am so tired but I just got reminded that I need to continue the *article that I posted a few days* ago. Today I will continue the the items I got from Shopee Piso sale last March 15 and 16. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/shopping-online-with-17-pesos-part-1-a42ae60d
Cable Organizer
This is one of the items that I think that will be useful to me because I always struggles in keeping my earphones and other cables neat. It's one of my struggles especially when I am going out and I store my earphones in my bag it gets everywhere and it's hard to get. This also help me organize my charger or other chord cables that I have when I go out or go somewhere that I might need those things.
Facemask
This is one of my orders that I am quite embarrassed of😂. Because this order came from all the way from Indonesia to here at the Philippines and I pay for peso for it. Well I am not really new in buying things from the Piso deals that is from overseas but almost all of my orders I got from overseas is from China. It's my first time to got a package from Indonesia. I get tell that it was really from Indonesia because when it arrives it have a different packaging and it even have a different writing on it that was written on the language that I can't understand. I haven't used this item but I am thinking to just give it to others because I am not really a person who is into it using this kinds of products.
Handy Mirror
I am also quite embarrassed for this order because it came all the way to Vietnam to Philippines for just 1 peso. It's also my first order that I received from this country. This mirror is so cute because it was just small and good for someone that needs to look for some small details in there face. Well I am also thinking of giving this for other people because I am not really a person who looks his face into the mirror I just like to cover it when I am outside because I don't want to be recognized by other people 😅 but my physical structure is quite easily recognize by others especially when they knew me.
Cute Stickers
This stickers were also so cute and it also have so many designs available I just choose this one. I am also thinking if I should give it out because I am thinking that I might use it for the project but my one little cousin saw this and wants it but I am still thinking if I should give this to her but most probably I will just give it😅.
Toothbrush storage
This item was just delivered today. U haven't made a post about it on Noise because I just seen it this evening. The rider just give it to my father when he saw that he was outside that's why I am being lecture again about this online shoppings 😅. This storage for tooth brush will be very helpful even though I am not really a person who go out often and don't sleep at home often but this will be helpful when I suddenly need to bring my toothbrush somewhere.
Small Drawstring bag
This order just came also today. I am so surprised by this item because it really made in satin that's why the texture of this was so good. This will be also useful to me when I need something small to store like earphones, keys, flash drive and etc. that needs to be separated.
Almost all of my items that I've ordered last March 15 and 16 is from overseas because if I remember it correctly I used a global deals voucher that helps me get free shipping if it was from overseas. All the items in this article was from overseas. That's why it all takes time to be delivered because it was shipped from different country to the Philippines.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. Some of the items that I am buying literally have no use for me that's why I am just giving it to others that might need it but there's also a lot items that I bought from this Piso that literally make sense or something that I might really need now or somewhen. I really like shopping in Piso Deals since I started using Shopee because there's a lot of items that you can just for 1 peso that is literally helpful and so budget friendly for you.
