Ka-Boom
This morning I was thinking of what can I do that is something different for today but I can't think of anything because for some reason I just don't feel like doing anything. That's why after I had my coffee this morning I just do my laundry because it's already about 2 weeks of laundry already. I am the only one that is in the house because my brother went to somewhere and my father have a something to attend with. After for about an hour and 30 minutes I am already done with my laundry it took quite a bit because we don't washing machine because it's been broken for almost 7 months now.
After I finished my laundry I just cook rice in the rice cooker then just go lay down and use my phone. After the rice is cooked I just bought some dish for myself and eat my lunch already because it's already 11 am and I am also already hungry as well. After I finished eating I just play Mobile Legends for a long time and visit my account for time to time. I don't know that I already waste a lot time playing and it's already afternoon. Today's weather is too hot that's why I thought to buy an ice cream because it's been a while since I eat ice cream.
*https://noise.cash/post/lmr0rx9k*
I brought 2 because the owner of store put a lot of things out of the freezer because it's under by other things and it's embarrassing to buy just one after all her effort to take out those things. There's nothing different that I want to do today that's why I just go back to using my phone again. But thinking of something special to do or to happen there's something that I unwanted happened.
Around 6:30 this afternoon
Around 6:30 I want to drink some coffee but there is no hot water already that's why I decided to boil some in our Electric Kettle. After I put the water in the kettle I just plugged it in go to get some coffee but all of the sudden I heard an explosion in my back then I saw that the outlet that there is something sparkling because of that all of cats thats near me run away and I also run so fast to the Main Power Source / Main Breaker of our House to turn off the Power. It's already 6:30 and it's already dark inside the house because I turn off the power source in our house there's literally no lights at all. That's why I started looking where did I put my phone after a few minutes I finally find my phone and used a flashlight to checked the electric Kettle. I saw that the outlet is already burnt and the the plug of the heater was slightly melted.
Then I called my father and he said that he will be coming home already. He just said that I should plugged out the outlet and different things that's why I just do what he said I removed some plugs and turn off another breaker. Then I opened the main Breaker again to have some power in our house. It's really a good thing that I am in the kitchen that time because I planned to buy something first while the water is boiling. If I am not there it may cause a fire that can burn off our house.
After a few minutes my father is already home asking what happened. I just texted him I don't know it just suddenly explode and starts to sparkle he asked if I put it while it wet but I am pretty sure that it wasn't because I make sure before I put it and plugged it that it is completely dry.
It is just a waste of money because we just bought this electric kettle a few months ago but it's a good thing that nothing serious happened. Plus I didn't really panic about what happened because when our neighbor heard what happened they asked why did I just called them. (*BTW our neighbor is my cousin*) then I think also why didn't I just call them maybe because I didn't really panic that much hahaha. I feel quite scared but it not as scared that I need to call for help. I just called my father because I don't know which outlets that I need to unplug and some other things that I need to do.

During Saturdays
February 26 2022 ( Saturday)
*What are the things that you are doing in your free time or your day off at work/school?*
As for me I tried to be do something different every Saturday like cleaning something or cooking something that we didn't have for a very long time. Every Saturday I usually also I do my laundry and go the place that I needed to be. One of the examples that something different that I want to do during Saturdays is **Planting of Sunflower** that I've done last week. Today I am gonna write what did I do something different this week. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/blooming-of-sunflower-edf5baf1
Greetings
Hello everyone it's a cold and rainy Saturday that we experienced today. I just want to share the things that I've done today. It's not an informative article it is just like a dairy of what happened to my life.
Last Night (Friday)
Last night my father brought a whole tray of eggs that is equal to 30 eggs. That's why I decided to cook eggs and fried rice for breakfast as I said in my post in Noise this **morning**. I even started to think what will be the other dish that I can cook with eggs but we haven't had for a long time. https://noise.cash/post/l4x276pp
This Morning
I try to wake up early this morning to cook our breakfast and I also want to wash my clothes but unfortunately it is still raining and I don't want to wash my clothes in this kind of weather. Right after I wake up a start to chop some garlic and onion that will go with fried eggs plus the leftover adobo yesterday. I fry the eggs according to each other preference I like mine to have a runny yolk that's why I just cook it a little while my brother only likes when it was so toasted because he doesn't want the yolk to be undercook as for my father anything is fine.
You may see an egg that looks a little odd because I added cheese to it and it was a mistake hahahaha. I saw a leftover cheese then I thought it would go nice with eggs because it would melt and will taste delicious. I cut up 2 little slices of Eden cheese and put in on the top of the but as soon as I put on top the egg the oil in the pan starts to splater everywhere I immediately turn off the stove and get away. I laughed at myself because of this hahaha that's why I just cook the rest in the normal way and not adding anything unusual. After I finished that I immediately cook the fried rice with the leftover adobo last night but unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it.
I don't usually eat rice for breakfast or most of the time I don't really eat breakfast I just usually have a coffee but today since I want to cook for breakfast we have to eat it. Most of the it's either me or my brother who will cook our dish everyday but it is just a common and simple like fried or the dish that is just simple to make like adobo, nilaga or sinigang but when the neither of us don't want to cook or both busy we just buy some cooked meals outside because there is also a lot of store where you can just buy the cook dishes already. While I was eating I am also thinking what would be for our lunch then I suddenly remembered that I saw a puso ng saging or heart of the banana a few days ago.
I don't know the proper English translation for Puso ng Saging that's why I just put Heat of the banana. If you know please let me know because I doubt the one that I saw while searching it online.
Our house is placed in a mini forest/ mini mountain slope right behind us. This land where we are living is not ours we just living here for a long time as care taker of the land and the landlord just let us build our house here and just supervised the land they just using this land to harvest coconuts and other fruits that is in here. Our family is been living here for about 4-5 decades already the original owner is the friend of my grandfather that's why we live here. This land is full of different trees and fruits that we can just get.
Back to the story
I remember seeing it a few days ago but even though the rain had stopped and the sun is shines again and I don't want to get it because it so muddy and slippery out there. I really don't want to get it because I have to walk a far bit in muddy trail I just get it because it's been so long since we have eat Puso ng Saging. After I got it I just decided to make a" Tortang Puso ng Saging" because we have all the ingredients available in our house and I don't want to go out to buy something in the market near us. We have all the ingredients in our kitchen that's why I just start cooking. Here are the list of ingredients that I need
Ingredients
Puso ng Saging (Heart of the Banana)
Eggs
A little bit of oil
Garlic and onions
Salt and pepper
Magic Sarap ( Seasonings)
I don't know the exact measurements of the ingredients because it depends on the quantity that your are cooking. I wasn't gonna include the making process of the dish because it will be too long if I even write the whole recipe and things that I do in cooking.
I haven't been able to take a nice photo of it because I am tired and I totally forgot to that I have to take a photo that's why it looks like that. I am not really good a taking pictures of the foods most of the time I always forget to take photos of it because I am not used to take photos of what I eat. I just also realized that it looks burned but I promise that it wasn't burnt I just make it quite crispy and toasted because that's what my brother wants. I looks normal in real like I just don't know for some reason it's looks burnt in the photos.
After I was done cooking I realized that I make a lot that's why I give some to my great grandmother that is just living near to us. I even give some to our neighbor and she was surprised that Puso Ng Saging can be used as making Torta. She said that it tastes delicious that's why I am already satisfied because there is already a person who praised my cooking.
Ending
I am trying to do something that I don't usually do every Saturday because I feel like I have to do something new every Saturday if I don't have any plans that day that's why most of Saturdays is always something I usually do like cooking something that is different from our everyday meals or doing some work/ activities that I don't really do. I started doing this when I was in Junior Highschool because I feel like I want to do something unusual for me every week.

Objects Holds Memory of the Past
*Did you ever see an object or a thing then suddenly you remember a memory from the past?*
There is so many memories that most of us just forget then will just suddenly pop up or you suddenly remember when you saw/ hear something related to it. Maybe one of the most common thing that always remind us of something is photos or videos because we can visualize again what event or thing that happened that certain time and moment.
Today I saw a lot news and post about the war between Russia and Ukraine. I feel really sad for those people that lose their homes and now living in fear. Imagine waking up to the sounds of missiles exploding around and all you can do is run and seek for a safe place to shelter. The faces of fears a you walk around your home that been living for a long time then now is completely destroyed. I feel so bad about those ordinary people that is currently living in fear and running for their lives just to be safe and away from danger. I hope a lot people will be safe from danger and can go back to their peaceful life again.
Back to the Story
As I am cleaning my room yesterday I suddenly saw a box that contains all of my things when I was still in Junior Highschool. It's been so many years since I opened that box and I don't really remember the contents of that box anymore that's why I opened it. The box itself is so dusty because it is place under my drawer and I never really cleaned those parts because it so hard to remove and put back all the contents of it.
When I opened it I saw a bunch of different papers like notebooks,old test paper,old activities, and some projects. I spread all those papers in the floor to sort it out because I am planning to trash all of those and isn't really useful then give somethings that might be useful to my little cousins like my old notes and activities so that they can use it as a reference to their lessons because they are still modular and they wasn't really learning a lot of things. I was hoping that they might want to read my notes and see my activities if there is something similar that they need to do. As I am sorting out all the papers I saw an illustration board that is in the underneath the box and I saw this old little art of mine.
It is an old project in my MAPEH class. I made it using an old pastel that my classmate. I am still in Grade 8 that time. I remember how did I do this project. I remember this project is one of the projects that I need to submit right before the exam. I did this in the house of my classmate where we decided to do all of our requirements all together so that we can help each other and lend our materials and idea to anyone. There is a funny thing that happened that time before we got to begin that project.
Six of us decided to do it all together in my classmates house because we have to do some report writing to do, a lot activities to finish and some arts and crafts to do. It's Saturday and we agreed to meet in my friends house before 10 am. The 4 of us meets to street where my friend lives then she just told us to go straight into their house because she will be running late because she is still buying something and it may took her a couple of minutes to travel back that's why we just straight to their house. All of us haven't been their into their house because it's the first time that we will do a project there. My friend calls her and asked which one is her house she said it's the one with a orange gate in that block and she said that the gate was open that's why we should just go in because there is no people in her house.
After walking around 2-3 minutes we saw an orange gate and try to knock if it was their since no one is answering and the gate was open we assume that it is her house and go inside the gate. The door in the house is locked that's why we just decided to sit in the chair that is there and my friend he lay into the hammock then started singing hahahaha. We started to play We all just having fun while waiting for our classmate then suddenly the door in the house suddenly opened. We are surprised because she said there is no other people in the house. The people that came out of the house was really shocked because she saw in the her yard sitting in the chairs and laughing.
At first we thought it's a relative of my classmate that's why we tried to explain who we are what we are doing there. Then she looks confused and said that she doesn't have a daughter and she doesn't know what we are talking about. Then her son suddenly comes out of the surprisingly that boy also going in our school and he recognized us. Then ask us what we are doing in their house. We explained what happened then he started laughing and said that my friends house is still 5 houses away from their and it is not our classmate's house. All of us was shocked and immediately apologize to the owner of the house telling that we just made a mistake we thought it was out friend's house.
Good thing she didn't get mad at us and just laugh about what happened. She even asked us if we want to go in to their house to have a juice but we refuses and just said thanking. Before we left she just said to my friend that he have a nice voice. Right after we walked out of the door we immediately laugh about her comment in his voice but we are all embarrassed about what just happened. The boy that goes to same school at us guide us to my friend's house. When we got there we saw our classmate and that she was waiting there for a few minutes already. We thanked and apologize again to the boy that guide us. We tell the story my classmate then she laughed so hard on us. Then we just started working on in our projects invididually then we eat lunch at her house and go home. The next Monday my friend tell to our classmates what happened to us last Saturday and everybody laughs at us.
The end
As I remember what happened to us that day I immediately laugh about the memories that happened that they. I even chat my friend this morning and I asked if still remember about what happened to then he called me and laugh so hard because he was still embarrassed about what we did and the comment about the voice to my another friend.

Disappointment and Frustration
Greetings:
Good day everyone here from Read. cash it's a good thing that weather in our place is starting to get better because these past few days it's been raining the whole day and it really interrupts in my classes because my connection is lagging. I am also worried about the sunflowers because from what I know it is a bad for sunflowers to be rained so much but still I will try if anyone from it survive. Even though today is such a lovely day I didn't expect that my day would be ruined because of school.
This Morning
I want to start this article of what did happen to me this morning. This morning I almost got late in my class because I wake up 10 minutes right after my class supposed to start but good thing is that my teacher is also late for our first period I even got into the link first than he is. Well there's a good reason behind because I was up all night finishing my notes from class. I wasn't really a type of student who takes note a lot and review the lessons the night after we discussed it but I am trying to be a more good student this semester as I promised in my article before ( Preparing for the New Semester). I didn't even realize the time because I finished writing all the notes and doing some activities around 2 am. I just find myself so funny that I woke up late today right after I publish an article about getting a **better sleep** last night. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/preparing-for-new-semester-5efc7058 https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/have-a-better-sleep-79605f91
Right after my first class I went ahead and take a bath because I have something that I need to submit in of my teacher in school. I immediately put some decent clothes on because I don't want to encounter a large of crowd in the afternoon especially I am going to bayan there is a lot of people there. I went ahead already because I can't talk to my brother because he have exams and I don't want to disturb him when I need to go somewhere. I got in the school and submit immediately my papers but I saw some of my classmates passing their PSA only right now it was supposed to be passed on since last Friday but the teacher gave an extension about.
My teacher announce about the extension of passing our PSA last Monday for those who didn't pass yet. At first I feel a little disappointed because I tried to chat with him nicely last week if I can just pass my PSA this week because I still need to request it then he said that I should pass it in the Friday that same week. That's why I even travelled a long distance to get my PSA as quickly as possible.( You can read it here **PSA 1** and **PSA 2**). After his announcement in our Group chat I feel a little bad and disappointed but I choose to just let it go because I don't want to hate someone just because something like this and I just think about other students that still want to pass. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/getting-psa-part-1-f4af41bb https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/psa-part-2-1800f571
But today I heard that he just also let someone pass their NSO copy of that requirement and just follow up the PSA copy next time. That really makes me a feel really bad because I tried to say it to him a few times that I can just pass my NSO and will follow up my PSA as soon as it arrives but he refuses it and said that he needs the PSA immediately and that's the only thing I can give to him. I felt really bad because I was asking him nicely but he refuses it then let other student do it. That's why my mood was ruined this morning I want to complain about this in him but I just choose to not confront it because I don't want to do something I will may regret later.
After I got off to the school I suppose to roam around a little bit and buy some stuffs in the city but I just choose to go home because I am quite angry and I don't want to roam around while my mind is in that state. I feel really bad because I was thinking the money and time I spent in getting that PSA as soon as I can. Thinking that I spend around double or triple getting it immediately than just getting it regular in the SM near us. Then the time and energy I put it to it I even travel so early just to get it.
After I get back to our house I just cook something for our lunch then go bed. I just go home to our house as soon as possible and I don't talk to people because I don't want to mistakenly vent out my anger in other people. I just sleep to calm my mind then after I woke up I just clean my room. When I was angry I try to be away at people and just vent my anger in cleaning or just sleeping until I feel better. I am scared to talk to people specially when I am angry because as I've said I don't want to mistakenly vent my anger to other people.
In the end
Now I feel a lot better I still feel bad about what happened but I am more relaxed now than this morning. I didn't tell anyone about this like any of my family member or friends because I don't want them to even think about it but one thing that I do feel is I lose my respect in that teacher. I lose my respect to him doesn't mean I will disobey or do something wrong I just lose my good expectation up to him because I thought he is a good a teacher before but now I think different. I really have a big respect to teachers ever since I was young because a lot of my family members is teacher even my older sister is a teacher that's why I am so disappointed when I am encountering this kind of teachers.

Have a Better Sleep
Greetings
Good day everyone I became so busy helping fixing our house because there is something that extremely unexpected to our house last night but it's already alright. I am going to write an article that may help you to get a better sleep. I don't know if this will also gonna work out for you but it is some tips or advice that someone give me and kinda work out for me.
Tips How to get Better Sleep at Night
*Image Source* https://unsplash.com/photos/_lzFWQ4s984
1. Make a Proper Sleeping Schedule
When the face to face classes is still happening in Pre pandemic era I have a big trouble in sleeping and getting up every morning. Being late is one of my main problems because every morning I have to get up early to cook my school lunch and get ready. If wake up late I will be either go to school without lunch pack or being late from preparing my lunch.
Since this keeps happening my teacher in Grade 8 gave me a tip that I have to set a proper sleeping schedule so that I can control my time and be always on time. Since Grade 8 I started to sleep before 9:30 pm wake up around 4:30 am and because of this I was rarely being late in my Grade 9 - 10 classes but now that it is Pandemic I don't really have a proper sleeping schedule because my classes is different from time to time.
2. Don't do your work at bed.
I got this tip from my homeroom teacher when I was grade 11 that time it is just the start of Online class and most of us is still not get used to a new system. Since my Homeroom class that time is 8 am a lot of my classmates is being late and the excuse they made is that they can't sleep early. Then my teacher advice all of us to don't do our activities and attend our classes while in bed. She said that if we continue to do this habits our mind and body will adapt to it and it's because much more harder to sleep.
She also advise us to make a little space in our house or in our to put a little table and chair so that we will attend in her class sitting there. That's why I make own little table in my room and chair so that I will attend my classes there. My teacher is also checking us when we are grade 11 if we are sitting in there because she was us to be open cam for a the whole Homeroom class. I think it is one the most challenging to do because all of us likes to just do our work or things while relaxing in our beds but I tell you it is really effective that's why I don't attend classes while in the bed anymore.
3. Put your Electronic Devices away.
This one I just read it online and I was really effective I bet that a lot of us is using our mobile devices the whole night. If we keep on using our mobile devices at night we won't be able to sleep because we just keeps on scrolling or watching videos until we don't notice what time it is. It not just bad for your sleeping it also bad in your eyesight because we are expose to the radiation of light from our phones all night. It is really a challenging things for me to do because I really love watching anime and k-drama until midnight but I try to keep my phone away from it as possible but still be able to hear when somebody calls or the alarm rings.
4. Bed is just sleeping
This is quite similar in number 2 we shouldn't do anything in our beds other than sleeping because our body and brain gets use to it when we try to just sleep our brain and body gets confused because it is my body memory that we also do other things in there. This is one of the tips that I am always hearing when my grandfather still lives with us he get really angry when we are doing so many things in our beds. He always tells us everytime that he see just in the bed not sleeping that "bed is created for sleeping".
5. Try to wear a comfortable clothes
Try to wear comfortable clothes doesn't mean you need to buy something that is expensive that will get you so comfy just your normal wear is just enough if you are feeling cold wear something that will warm you or if you're feeling hot wear something cool. Everyone of us have their own preference of being comfortable.

2's day Tuesday
Feb 22, 2022 ( 2-22-2022) Tuesday
Greetings
Hello everyone it's Tuesday today and the rain has been pouring since this morning but it is still a great day. I hope you are feeling alright and doing well. Today I will just share the things that happened in me while attending my Online Classes.
First Class of the Day.
I was surprised this morning while attending my first class because my teacher suddenly greet us Happy 2's day everyone. Which is something I post this morning in Noise ( *here is the link of my post this morning*). At first I thought just misheard because maybe she mean is Happy Tuesday everyone that's why I didn't think about it too much but suddenly a lot of my classmates starts to greet my teacher back Happy 2's day Ma'am. I suddenly think about it because I was thinking maybe it was a greeting or it was something that they discussed last week because I wasn't able to attend last week because I have to get my PSA Birth certificate that time.Luckily I have a friend that is my classmate that's why I chat her imediately about it then her first reply is a long Hahhahahaha. It's the conversation between me and my friend https://noise.cash/post/lgk3230q
Me: Hey what is the 2's day that is everyone typing in the chatbox? Is it how we should greet Ms. __ now?
Her: Huh? Hahahahahahahahaha
Me: Huh? Why are you laughing
Her: You don't know what is Happy 2's day? It is because it is February 22, 2022 plus today is also Tuesday. Hahhahahaha
Me: Ahhhh okay thanks hahahaha.
***This conversation is originally in Tagalog I just translated it into English***
To be honest I didn't really understand at first because what really says I just replied ahhh because I don't her to keep explaining. That's why I tried to write the today's date in the paper and I saw it is really a lot of 2. Today is February 22, 2022 which can be also written as 2-22-2022 plus today is also Tuesday . That's why I laughed at myself so hard because I took me a while to understand it hahahaha. I bet my friend is laughing at her house because I know that she is such a bully hahahaha.
Last Period for this Morning
Before the class starts I was really happy because I am already tired and this is the last class for this morning. I was waiting in the waiting room of the link for about 5 minutes for the class to start. Right after my teacher I saw my teacher he immediately said that " Class be ready you will sing individually today" I was so surprised about it but the fun part is we are around 24 students when the class starts but right after my teacher said that we suddenly became 17. There is some that leaves immediately after hearing that we will sang individually.
I laughed because of what happened but I am anxious because I really don't like this kind of stuffs. I don't like interacting with people I don't know I get shy and scared immediately. I am also thinking to leave the class but I don't want to lose an attendance because of this. My teacher gave us a song and he said that be ready in 5 minutes. I am sure that most of us knew that song because it is song that we all know since last year. I am worried because it is a song that been sang by a women and the notes is really high.
After 5 minutes there is someone willing to volunteer to sing first. He sang it quite okay he wasn't able to sing really well but it's alright according to my classmates from the GC hahaha. Good thing my teacher doesn't expect you to sing it great as long as you participate in this activity its alright that's why all of us that time is willing to sing even though our voices wasn't that good. After around 3-4 persons that volunteer to sing my teacher just start to roll call by names I was so nervous that time because I keep saying to myself that I wish that the period will end without calling my name.
The roll call started they are someone that sings it really well her voice was really good. I can tell that she was really a good singer. But there are also some that isn't really well because most of the times it maybe out tone, inaudible or voice crack especially in boys hahahhaha. After around 7 person being called I was called imediately I am so nervous that time because I really don't want to do this. Before I start to sing I record myself to hear after what song did I make. I just sings casually my voice I think is really terrible it doesn't match the song and I almost cracked my voice. I am so embarrassed after that. That's why after I mute myself I listened to what I sound like and I am laughing so hard what I how I sang it. My voice is really deep while I was trying to sing it and especially when I almost cracked my voice it was clearly heard. I am so embarrassed to myself but it's alright. Even though it's embarrassing I enjoyed it myself and I make fun of myself. I even sent the voice recording to my friend and he was laughing so hard he said I sound like a growling bird.
Author's Note:
Thank you reading this article. I just want to say that I might be not able to activate tommorow because there is something quite terrible happened. I hope you are all doing fine and always be safe. Good bye everyone.

Blooming of Sunflower
Greetings
Good day everyone today is Monday and it's first day of the week. I hope you are all doing fine and feeling well today. Today I want to share something that I've done last Saturday. Let's start
Friday Night
Last Friday night my father got home with a some little plants that is still in black plastic planting bag. He said that it was a gift from someone. It was total of 8 little plants that is still growing up. I asked my father what kind of plant are those because it's a lot and why did he bring it here. I know the person who give it because she been here once in our house and she saw our backyard and thought that this is a perfect place for flowers and plants. I know that our backyard is great for planting a lot of plants and flowers because my grandmother or what I call Nanay loves to plant a lot flowers and the time that she was still living the outside and the backyard of our house is full of flowers like roses, gumamela, santan, and a more beautiful flowers. It even create a lot of attraction in our house that time because the our backyard is like a rose garden because it is really beautiful and a lot people wants to take a photo in it.
The problem is when my grandma died no one takes after to her in taking care of the plants then when my grandfather moved to another the house it got even worse because there are only 3 men living here it's me, my brother and my father no one of us likes to take care of plants nor have a hobby plant flowers.
Because this are 8 plants I gave 3 of those with my great grandmother or my "Lola sa tuhod" that is living just near our house then I give the another two in our neighbor because they also want one when they heard it's sunflower. These remaining 3 I am planning to plant this in our backyard because I don't want to disappoint the person give the sunflower to us because she purposely give it to us because she wants to see the sunflowers when she visits again next time.
Saturday Morning
When I wake last Saturday morning I just used my used my phone and cleans in our house a little then I remembered that I need to plant those sunflowers. That's why I plan to clean a portion of our backyard. I cleaned a part where there is a lot sunlight being received because the sunflowers needs a lot of sunlight. That place is full of old metal scarps, rotting used woods and full of unwanted grass and vines. I just removed all those metal and put it in another place then I already throw away those woods and start to use shovel to scrape those grass and use itak to cut off those big vines.
I finished doing that right before lunch because even though I am just cleaning a small spaces it takes a lot work and time to accomplish that task that's why I just wrapped it up and eat my lunch first.
Saturday Afternoon
After I eat my lunch I didn't continue to plant it already because it is so hot in that spot and my skins hurts a lot because of the sunlight. I am glad that I didn't even get a surnburn while cleaning in the morning. Around 3 pm the sunlight is not so strong that's why I proceeded by digging some little holes and planting this plants already. I planted those plants and I just watered it a little so that it can grow there. And I just watering it every afternoon.
There is a big wood and I haven't remove all those stems around but I will take care of that next time.

Manila Last Part
Unfortunately I can't tell what or where exactly we go because my said that they are just still under discussion process and he doesn't want anyone to know about it.
You can read the First and Second part here: *GOING TO MANILA (part 1)**. MANILA ( Part 2)* https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/going-to-manila-part-1-46091f83
Last Part of My Trip in Manila
Right after we brought something from hardware we ride a taxi to get to our destination. I was really amazed by what I saw while on the taxi there is a lot tall buildings and they are right beside each other. I lived in the province even though they are some tall buildings there it isn't this many and they are not so close to each like these.
We went to our destination and start what are we supposed to do. I just can't detailed the things that we do and where we went because my father said I can't post about it. We finished what we are doing there for like an hour or two then we already packed and plan to go home. But before we went home we just eat dinner at a fast food because we are already both hungry. When we got to the bus we luckily seat at around the middle part of the bus but I wasn't able to seat beside my father because the other seat is already taken. I really don't have any problem in the person right beside me because I am used to ride a bus. After the bus started to move a few minutes after I fell asleep maybe also I am already tired. I was sleeping for I don't know how long but I suddenly wake up because of the person right beside me because he sprayed his perfume. I really don't have issue with that I just woke up because while he was spraying his perfume he accidentally sprayed a little in my mask. I woke up because it really stinks I dont want to be mean but I don't really like the smell plus it sprayed a little bit in my mask.
I want to change a new mask but I already used the backup facemask I have that's why I feel so dizzy and I almost threw up because of this. I endured the smell of my mask for hours. But right after we got the bus. I asked my father to buy me a new face mask while I go to the fast food restaurant's bathroom and I threw up really bad because of that my father ask if I am okay but I feel so dizzy because of the smell of my mask. It's already around 10:30-11:30 pm when we got home I am not really sure because I am so dizzy. I just finished publishing my article and go to sleep. I didn't even have a chance to eat in our house because of dizziness I feel.
Realization in this Trip
In this Trip I realized that Manila is a really great place because there is a lot beautiful and big buildings plus malls and other big establishments around but I must say I still prefer to live in our province or barrangay. In this place it great place to work with because there are lot big buildings and people there might be a big chances of opportunities to get a job than in other provinces but in term of living I must prefer in provinces because it isn't not so populated.
I think one of the factor that I like living in the province is that I don't like a lot people. I don't like so many people because I am scared of big crowds I really don't want interacting with other people physically and I must say the ambiance and weather in our province is a lot of better because I lived just near the forest and because of that there is a lot trees around us that's why the weather is much more colder and the wind feels nice. I really like how the Manila is this civilized but I much prefer living in the small populated areas. I don't know if every part of Manila is like is because I only went to Makati and one more place here.
Conclusion
This trip is really nice even though I became so tired I enjoyed this trip more than I expected. I got to see a lot things and went to the new places that my first time visiting. The only thing that make this trip quite bad is my over thinking and the perfume of the person beside me. I am feeling dizzy everytime I remember it because I feel like I will be suffocated that time. I badly want to remove my mask that time but I can't because it's a policy that we should always wear mask all the time I rather endure that dizziness than getting risk of catching Corona Virus. I hope next that person will put his perfume he will make sure that he will spray his perfume properly in clothes because I really don't want anyone to experience the same thing as I.

Manila ( part 2)
*Hello everyone I just wanted to say that in this article I will talk about the things that I really feel and experience while traveling to Manila. I am quite worried that it might be all about the worries I experienced while traveling because I don't know it became a hobby to me to over think things especially if it is my first time experiencing it. That's why I apologise in advance if this article might be all about my worries.*
**Continuation (** ***You can read the Part 1 )*** https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/going-to-manila-part-1-46091f83
After an hour riding through the bus I am just into the movie that is currently playing in the bus and it that way it keeps me entertained. There are also vendors of different foods and beverages that is going in and out of bus from time to time. Actually around 11 am I am already hungry but I don't want anything my father is texting me if I want anything but I just keep replying NO. I am not eating and just drink a little because I am scared that I might thrown up while riding through the bus and it is so embarrassing when that happen that's why I am controlling myself to not eat or drink too much. Then I go back watching the Movie this time it's a different movie the title of the next movie is Jungle Cruise the only actor that I know playing in that movie is Dwayne Johnson. It was good but I am more amaze that the TV in the bus can play in an amazing quality that really relaxed me because I feel like I am just watching in our house because I am seated in front there is anyone blocking the TV monitor from me.
I am enjoying watching it that I didn't even notice that my father texted me saying that are just around 1 or 2 hours away from our destination. I just go back watching the movie but just a few minutes it suddenly rain so hard I became a little anxious about it but the driver and other passengers seems not to care about it. I am quite scared but I not showing any emotions in my face or in my body language because it is embarrassing if I freak out about it. The driver just keeps on driving and the conductor is even asleep. I am worried because you can't really see anything because of the rain what I am most scared of because they are some vechicles that is front of our bus I am worried that the driver might don't see it but the bus driver seems really professional because he really knows when to stop even though you can't really see through the front of the bus.
Then a quite funny but I a little scary happened. As we continue to go we got stuck to a traffic we the vechicles is just not moving a couple of minutes. When the other vechicles starts moving we saw a SUV that is still not moving the truck driver that is behind it and the other truck that is right beside is honking in it. But the SUV is still not moving I saw the truck driver that is beside it get out of the truck and start knocking to the window of the SUV then we just found that the driver fall asleep. I saw the truck drivers just laugh about it even the driver of our bus just laugh about it. At first I find it a bit funny but after realizing it is also scary because if the truck behind it didn't notice that the SUV didn't move when the vechicles starts moving it can cause a big accident.
When we arrive at the bus terminal it's already around 2:30 I am already hungry that's why we are planning to eat right after we get off the bus. The moment I got off the bus I am surprised by the enormous amount people that is all walking really fast I am concerned because they are so close to each other to you can barely go against in their direction. I am quite scared to get close to anyone because I am worried about catching a disease the whole time. I am scared to catch a Corona Virus because I personally know someone that died because of it. That's why I am really taking preventive measures seriously.
When got off the bus my father immediately walks and ask that I just follow him we are walking really fast I thought we are already going to eat but he said that his boss just texted to just eat in their house so that they can also start the meeting. We imediately walk really fast because there is a lot people. After around 3 minutes of walk we are about to cross an over pass it is one my fears to cross an overpass because I am quite scared of heights. While I was crossing the over pass I am really scared to look down but I am trying not to show any emotions because there is people in my back and I don't want them to see I am really scared of overpass. Right after we cross it we ride a jeep I really don't know what route we are taking because it's my first time to be in this place. I am just also surprised that the Jeep that we take didn't have any plastic barrier between passengers. In our place even though we already in low alert level the jeepney still needs to have a plastic barrier that separates the passengers. After around 10 minutes riding the jeep stop again in the place that I don't really know where hahahaha. I sorry it's my first to be here and I don't know what place we are in. Then we take another jeep for another 5 minutes after that we already arrives in my in the house of my father's boss.
Right after we arrive in their house we immediately eat our lunch. The dishes that is there is Bangus belly and Ginisang Ampalaya. I am really hungry that time but I didn't eat a lot because I am quite embarrassed to eat because I don't want look so hungry because it is still the house of my father's boss. We finished to eat right away then my father and his boss just talk about the thing that we are gonna do. We just rest there for a little bit and already go out with my father's boss to buy something in the hardware that they will need. My father said this is Makati. They just brought a tool that we will need to do the things that we need.

Going To Manila ( part 1)
Greetings
Hello everyone from Read. cash I've very busy these past few days and I am always away from home because I am getting my documents last Wednesday and I am also out of our house yesterday because I suddenly went to Manila and I also to share my experiences travelling to Manila. I am going to share everything I experienced yesterday.
February 17 ( Thursday)
Last Wednesday I am busy to get my PSA Birth certificate and I even travel back and forth from our House to Lipa Batangas just to be able to get it in one day. You can read it here *PSA (part 1 )* and *PSA ( part 2).* https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/getting-psa-part-1-f4af41bb https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/psa-part-2-1800f571
Well going forward right after I publish my part 1 of my article about getting my PSA last Wednesday I went to sleep and wake up at 7 am to attend my class. Even though I am still tired from yesterday I have to get up and attend my class because it's a major subject. I went to class and just listen the whole time but around 7:30 my father suddenly got home and asking us if anyone is available to went with to Manila he was asking to me and my brother because it's really urgent and he doesn't have anyone to go with. I am don't really want to go because I am still tired from yesterday's travelling but I just said I am going to go with him after my class because my brother can't go with him because it's their final exam and I don't really have anything to do right after my first class because it is just the class that I have to attend this day.
Right after my class which is 7-8 am I immediately take a bath while my father is still contacting his boss in Makati. I change really quick my father said we will take a while to travel to Manila because we are going to commute. I just bring some important things that I need like my Vaccination card, some ID's and disinfectant alcohol. We immediately take a jeep to the our city's main to take a bus to that is going to Manila. To be honest I am excited and nervous at the same time because it's my first to go to travel to Manila again after so many years I only went to Manila around 3 times and it is because of the Field Trips and some important things but I never got a chance to get out of the Van or Car because I am restricted to go out because I am still young. I am also nervous because it's my first time to commute to Manila and I am scared because I know there is a lot people there and I am quite scared to walk in super crowded streets because I don't want to interact with people and I am also scared about catching COVID.
When we got to our City's main we immediately walk for around 5-10 minutes to wait for the bus to pass by we are just waiting for the bus that still have available seat because there are no terminal of bus here in our place where you can immediately ride a bus. We waited under an overpass it is my first to get to this place of bayan because it's quite far to the market and mall that I am where I went when I go bayan or our city's main. We waited around 15 minutes under the overpass and luckily we got to ride to a bus but the problem is there only 2 seats that is available the one that is in the really front if I am not mistaken it is meant if there is an old person that will ride the bus or a PWD that needs to be in the front the other available seat is in the middle that's why my father just let me seat in the front I don't know why that's why I just sat there.
To be honest I really want to seat in this seat when I was still little because in that seat you can really see the road and you will like you are also driving because you can see what drivers sees. But now I still think it's cool but now quite scary because I can totally see the road and I am over thinking that we might get into accident or what so ever that's why I am ease my mind and try to remain calm. I just watch the movie that is currently playing in the Bus the First Movie that I watched there is Suicide Squad I don't really know the title but it is the version where are fighting a big star fish I heard someone that it's a new movie of that particular movie but I don't really know about it because I haven't watched this movie before the only character that I know from that movie is Harley Quinn. I just continue to watch it because it's good and it keeps me entertained and not worry about the bus. My father said it's gonna be a long hours of travel that's why I don't want to waste the battery of my phone because I don't want to go home with empty battery in my phone.
Author's Note:
I think I wrote long enough already that's why I will make a part 2 or 3 if can of this story if I can because I am really thinking to write the whole experience that I got while traveling to Manila that's why I take note of all the things that happened in my note pad the whole time . I am still gonna ask my father if I am allowed to write an article and post some photos that we do while in Manila because it's for their work. I will ask for the permission first tommorow morning and if I got a permission I will continue writing about it tomorrow.
I also want to thank all of you the read this article I hope you will be interested in my experience that I will continue to write.

PSA ( part 2)
This is the part two of the article that I published yesterday. *You can read it here* https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/getting-psa-part-1-f4af41bb
Continuation
I wake up at the sound of my alarm around 4 am and I immediately go to the bathroom to take a bath quickly because is so freezing cold and it's been a while since I take a bath at that hour. After that I mix a coffee and eat some bread because I don't want to leave our house hungry and I keep reminding myself that I am on the budget hahaha. Around 4:30 I managed to leave our house all of the people is still sleeping because it's too early I walk out outside until I was able to the street where I can take a jeep and to be able to go the station of van.
I waited around 10 minutes to be able to go in the main of our city. I am actually quite scared because there is no people in street because it just around to 5:15 and it's also raining a little bit. After I got to the city I ride a tricyle to go the next jeepney station that can take me to Lipa. Then I arrived around 5:35 in the jeepney station good thing there is already alot of passenger inside and we are just waiting for 4 more people to get going. Around 5 minutes we already go and started I was riding just around 20 minutes and I am surprised how fast it was because normally it can take around 45 min - 1 hour when it is day because of the traffic.
I arrived at the Van station around 6:45 am but there are just 3 passengers because the first batch already went off. I just seat there and get my number. We waited until more passenger arrived. I am quite anxious that time because it's already 7:15 and there no new passengers arriving because the van can't until it reaches the minimum passenger that it needed around 7:30 am there are new batch of passenger that arrived there are still not enough to be able to get going. Until around 8 when another passengers arrived and it is already enough that's why we start to go already.
At first minutes of drive is going smoothly but after a couple of minutes the traffic already started it is one of the things that I hated when I have to commute the traffics takes a lot time. After long hours in the road I finally arrived at the Mall around 12 noon but this is one of the biggest problem that time. I didn't know that I have to set up an appointment to be able to get a copy of my PSA I nearly cried when I hear that because I travelled long hours but I can't get it. Good thing the lady also said to me that if I really need it I can just get a letter of urgency to be able to get today. I immediately try to message my school to ask if I can get a softcopy of it and just print it in nearby printing shop. But no one is responding because maybe it's their lunch break that's why I asked my brother just come to school to request it because I really need it good thing after 1 pm they replied to me and said that I can just get it at school and I just say that my brother is already in his way.
I just waited there but I am starting to feel a little hungry I know that I still have enough money to eat in the places like Mcdo or Jollibee but I dont want to use my money to buy food first before getting my PSA because I dont know if there is a emergency that I need to use money with but I dont have enough already that's why I just told to myself to wait first. Around 1:45 my brother sends the copy of the Letter and I immediately find a nearby printing shop to print it. After I printed it I go and the lady there I just fill up something, show my ID's and pay. Then all I have to do is wait.
I got it in just around 30-1 hour of waiting I totally lost track of time that time because I am thinking what excuses I can give to my teacher's from different subject because I managed to attend one of teacher today while at the in the van and I wasn't able to attend the rest of my schedule I am busy and quite scared to use my phone outside. Around 2:45 I am thinking if I just go stay in my mother's house because it's just around 1-2 hours away from there or just travel again and straight back home. I just decided to go back home imediately because I need to do something in the house. But first I am so hungry that's why I calculated my the fare that I need to use to go back home.
After I finish calculating I just know that I just have around 200+ pesos extra that's why I just ordered burger and fries from Jollibee even though that wasn't enough for me I don't want to spend all of that extra money because I don't know when I accidentally need an extra money. Then after I eat I decided to ride a jeep that can take me to the terminal of Van. I am already so exhausted that time and so sleepy that's why I said that I am gonna sleep in the van for a little bit I got a quite difficult situation because my seat is between to big man I know that I also quite big in size but just regular fit that the 2 person that sits around me is really big that I can barely seat properly well I can understand it because it's not their fault for being big and it's part of hassle in commuting I just have to accept.
Since I am between to big man I can't really move a little bit because if I move I am scared that I might wake up the other guy that it's in side because he looks very exhausted that's why I wasn't able to sit properly or take a nap a little . It's a really long travel and my knees hurt so much because I can't sit properly and it's already around 7-7:30 pm when I arrived at the terminal because of so many much traffic. I just do what I am always doing and ride to the vechicles that I need to ride. I arrived at home around 9- 9:30 pm then I eat a lot because I am hungry already. I am broke now and I don't have any extra money left in my wallet but at least I already got myself a PSA in one day. That's alright I will just look for the ways to get money again in my pocket hahaha.

Getting PSA ( Part 1)
Last midnight my teacher chat at our group chat last night saying that we need to pass or send a copy of our PSA until Friday. He also highlighted "especially for the government voucher receiptiant". I immediately message him because I passed an NSO in school that's why I am asking if I can just pass an NSO again. But he said no because they actually need the PSA one because they said that it is required by the government. I am so worried that I wake up my father and brother because I don't have a PSA Birth certificate because the one that I have is the original copy of NSO that is from I was a baby I was treating it with care that's why it last that long it's not already needed now.
***For those wondering what is PSA Birth certificate it just a Birth certificate that have a Stamp from PSA at the top.***
I wake them up because I need it immediately. My father said that I can get a PSA from SM ( it is a chain of shopping mall that is popular in the Philippines) but I need to wait for approximately 3-7 days for it to be delivered. I immediately knew that it wasn't gonna work because the deadline is Friday and there's no way that it is gonna be delivered at exactly Friday morning. I chat my teacher if there is a chance I can just submit until next week because I still don't have and I need to request it in SM and I also said that approximate delivery date if I request the following morning but he said that I really need to pass it on Friday because they are just following the orders from the Principal. I am quite pissed last night because they want it urgent even though they just said it at that time.
I called my sister and asked if there is any way that I can get it immediately because all the suggestion of my father and brother needs to wait a few days to be delivered. She said I can get either in the different city that is quite far away from our city but I don't know if that route and directions of that she was saying then she said I can also get from Fiesta mall from Lipa Batangas. I became more positive that time because I know the route and how to get to fiesta mall because my mother lives in Batangas but Fiesta Mall Lipa is quite far from their house and they all have works and I can't ask anyone from their to get it.
My sister asked if I just get it from another city or I will travel to Batangas to get it. The first option is not really good because I have to travel around 3-4 cities from our city to get there and the transportation is quite hard because I have to transport from different Jeeps and tricyles just to get there and I don't also know the place that my sister is saying. That's why I just choose to go the Batangas because I know the route and I memorize the vehicles that I have to ride even though it's really far. It's already around 12:30 am when I decided to just go the Batangas that's I quickly pack in my bag everything that I needed. This is the list that I packed to my bag.
ID's
Extra papers
Ballpen
Vaccination Card
3 Facemask in my bag and Faceshield
Extra shirt
My NSO Birth certificate and other documents
1 litter of drinking water ( I don't want water to be extra expenses while traveling)
My wallet and all of the money that I have
Among all of this things in the list I am most concerned about the money because I only have around 1, 700 pesos or around 33 dollars in my wallet and that's all the money I have because I can't find my other wallet I am thinking that I still have a 500 pesos or 10 dollars in that wallet. I know that 1 700 pesos is more than enough for my transportation cost because I am always travelling to Batangas ever since I was I child to go a vacation in my mother's house every summer or some long holidays.
I am don't want to asked some money from my father because I know that he just budgeting the money that he have for our daily expenses like foods and bills that's why I asked my brother if he have some extra but all of my brother's extra money already have somewhere allotted to it that's why I just say to myself that I need to budget the money I have and save money I have. After that I set an alarm to 4:00 am because I want to get their as early as possible. I tried to sleep as much as I can because I know that I won't be able to sleep while traveling because I am alone and I still need to attend classes.

Something Embarrassing Happened
*Greetings*
Good day everyone here at Read.cash . Today I want to share something else embarrassing that happen to me this day but first I want to share how my day today. I am going to start the story now.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After I publish an article last night I just use my phone for a little bit because I wanted to wake up early. I set up an alarm for 5:00 am because I wanted to wash my clothes. I set up this alarm because I have a lot clothes to wash then some beddings and towels that I've used for swimming last week. I need to wash it in the early morning because I have classes tommorow. After that I went to sleep already.
I wake up to the sound my alarm but I just snooze it in because I am still sleepy it rang for a couple of times and I finally get up around 5:30. The first thing I've done is to sort the clothes that I will wash while doing that I went ahead to boil some water because I wanted to drink some coffee. After I mix my coffee I went ahead and start washing my clothes already. I finished washing my clothes around 6:45 but I still leave my beddings and towel in the detergent and water to soak more and I just done it this afternoon. Right after I finished hanging my clothes I want to cook breakfast that's why I cook a friend rice and some eggs for our breakfast. After that I finished all of the it's already 8:45 I still have 15 minutes before my class starts. It's starts at 9 am because that is my schedule for today. I just rest and attend to the link meeting early.
After a couple of minutes my teacher and classmates is entering the class link one by one. The first class just went smoothly my teacher in that subject just discuss about the lesson and just required us to use the emoticon or the chat box as our way of communication we can also use the microphone but that is totally up to us if we wanted to or there is specific questions. I finished that class my phone is already low battery that's why I borrowed the tablet of my brother and charged my phone.
*THIS WHEN MY EMBARRASSING MOMENT HAPPEN*
I went to the next subject link at first it just alright my teacher because we just discuss about the lesson then he told us to open our mics because we will have a recitation we are called one by one and I am 2nd to last that was called I did answer the question well because it just a quite easy one but the problem is **I FORGOT TO TURN OFF MY MICROPHONE** it is just alright at first because our house is pretty quiet after the recitation my teacher just saying some things then my phone rang because someone is calling I answered it and it just a delivery man from Online shopping app I talk to him and give the exact location of our house because he said he still new delivery guy and he doesn't know what street we are on.
After the call I yell at my brother to get the order because I am still in the class but right after I yell I heard in the tablet that someone is laughing and it's my classmates. They all heard the conversation in the call and the yelling I immediately apologize to my teacher thankfully he wasn't that angry. I just apologize and said that I forgot to mute myself. I am worried because he was also my teacher last semester in different subject and he didn't really like situation like this. Right after the class was ended my classmate is laughing at me at the group chat about what happened because they all saw how my teacher stop talking when he heard me talking to the phone. It's really a good thing that he didn't get mad. They just laugh at me at the group chat but it just alright because it is really funny. I feel so embarrassed about it and I keep thinking it all day.

Second Semester
GREETINGS:
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone here at read. cash . I want to write a romantic or anything related to the Valentine article but I don't have any relationship and I never had a girlfriend since then I do have a quite sad story about love in my life but I don't want to give any negative vibes especially it's Valentine's every couple should be happy together. I am just gonna write about my school life this week.
My First Week This Semester
The 2nd semester didn't really start with an easy vibe because last Sunday I am really anxious about my class schedule. Last week I supposed to get my schedule around 2-3 days before the classes started but it's already Sunday and I don't still have any schedule given to me. I am trying to communicate to the our grade coordinator last Saturday morning about this but he just told me to wait around 2-3 hours. But the Sunday morning I still doesn't received my schedule yet that's why I messaged him again about it I am not really assuming that he will reply nor even see about it because it's Sunday and he will just say that's he's not at work. After around an hour I saw that he seen it then he replied a thumbs up. I don't really know what to feel that time because he give a specific time what will my schedule show up in my account and I waited for hours but it doesn't appear anything. I decided that time that I will just be patient because it might be the system but I don't know what to feel about him just replying a like to my message. I am trying to understand that it's Sunday and he's not obligated to do some work but I am just quite anxious about my classes.
Since I still don't any schedule to plan I just finished the things that I want to finish that I say in this article. I've done the simple goals that I plan before the semester starts. I managed to clean the study table and my whole room to be more organized in things especially the one that I need for school. I am able to finish and compile my important documents and I take them to computer shop to get some soft copy of the documents that I need. But I wasn't able to clean up a big space in my phone because I tried to delete files, photos and videos that I don't need but I didn't clean big enough space I am already expecting it because my phone is already quite old and it just have 32gb of Storage it's quite big but it was enough space for some files and apps that I needed. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/preparing-for-new-semester-5efc7058
I just calm myself and just sleep early and wake up early morning to see my schedule. I wake up around 4 am in the morning but I still don't have my schedule that's why I just set an alarm at 6:30 and came back to sleep. Around 6:30 I get up to bed but I still don't have my schedule I am already quite stress in an early morning. I decided to message the coordinator again and he replied to wait around 30 minutes. At first I am hesitant because he just told me to wait again.
*Monday*
Around 7 am I checked my account and I already have a schedule. I have an orientation at 8 am if I didn't get my schedule right away I maybe wasn't able to attend it attend it all of my classes that day is just an orientation and some of knowing the subjects and the teachers assigned. I am just scared because I am quite scared to speak in other people even though it's off cam. That's why I chat that my mic isn't working even though it's functioning well.
Tuesday
Today is just discussion of topics by the teachers and I did some activities that they given. Around afternoon I went to my grandfather's house to have lunch there because my cousin just arrived. Good thing I don't have any classes in the afternoon because my teacher is in the meeting something.
Wednesday
Today my schedule is really packed my classes is so early and it's continuous one after another. But when the afternoon comes I decided to skip one subject to go to my grandfather house again because there are a lot more people in there than yesterday. We have a *Lunch Get together* or bonding this day. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/lunch-get-together-dfabaf08
Thursday
This day we just went to resort to swim. It's the article that I wrote last night. Good thing my teachers is also busy and announced that they won't have any classes. https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/unexpected-swimming-d6f8b0df
Friday
Today even though I am tired I wake up so early in the morning and attend the classes it's quite hard because they gave a lot activity to do. I done some that needs to passed immediately and I still haven't done the one that I didn't need to passed yet.

Unexpected Swimming
Last Wednesday we eat at my grandfather's house https://read.cash/@JanPat0204/lunch-get-together-dfabaf08 then we stay there until noon after that I just finished some things that I need to do then I publish an article about it. After I finish all that I went to sleep already because I am already tired for everything that I done that they. The next morning around 6 am my brother is keep trying to wake me up and help him to cook but I don't to because I think that it's to early to cook food because it's just 6 am and why do we need to cook that early.
After few minutes my brother came back and try to wake me up again I am quite annoyed because it's too early to cook then I saw him that he just went to nearby mini market to buy some foods to cook. Then asked him so questions because I am so confused why do we need to cook so early.
*( This conversation between me and my brother is originally at Tagalog and I just translated it to English that's why it may sound quite weird when you read it.)*
Me: Why to we need to cook so early?
Bro: Why you don't want to come?
Me: Huh?
Bro: You don't want?
Me : Where?
Bro: Swimming.
Me: Swimming ?
Bro: Yes, swimming to the nearby resort
Me: Why would we go there to swimming?
Bro: Did you not read the chat from our GC that we are going to swim today.
After this conversation I immediately check my phone and I saw that they plan a swimming last night while I was asleep that's why I immediately get up to help my brother cook because we need to be quick. We finished cooking rice and some dishes that we need to bring around 7:45 and we just let it cold a little because it's too hot to put in the plastic container. After that I decided to find a bag and pack some clothes because I not really ready for this. My brother just went out to buy some paper plates and plastic cups so that we can have something to eat with.
After that I clean the house and feed our dogs and cats because we were going for until afternoon that's why I feed them first then I take a bath and change my clothes. Around 9 am we are ready to go it is just around 15 minutes away from here that's why we contact them already so that we can all arrive there. We are the first one to arrive there we just ride a tricycle to go there we are with my other little cousins and just behind us is another tricycle with almost all of my little cousins because there are a lot of kids. When we arrive there we immediately call them to ask where they are after 5 minutes my cousin arrive with my grandfather, my step grandma and her boyfriend they are using a car because it's too hot my grandfather can't use a public transportation.
When they arrive they settle the entrance fee and got us a cottage. Me and my brother just pay for our own because we are big enough and just chip in for the cottage. After we arrive we start to grill Tilapia while the kids explore the resort and takes pictures. It's a public resort that's why there is other people good thing it not a lot and the resort is really wide. After a while the kids get bored and asked to start to swim that's why they just let them. Before 11 my sister with brother in law and my niece arrives. I also starts to go to water while there is not a lot of people in the pool the only problem is I don't know how to swim. When they asked me if I know to swim they surprised to know that I don't know how to swim because I am quite a big man and they said that I look like someone that knows to swim.
Around 12 we starts to eat our lunch we have a lot of foods there because they plan out the foods carefully last night. After all of us eat we start to swim again but the only thing there another people going in to the resort that's why after a while we just go back to the cottage and some of them just play basketball in the court. It is a really big resort that's why it is not looks like we are crowded even though there is a lot of guest. But we are also going back in and out of the pool from time to time because we are also playing games in the pool like finding the coins that is thrown in there. I just eat a lot of snacks when I am not in the pool.
Around 3 pm my grandfather wants to go home already that's why my cousin already take them home as well as for the little kids while the adults just stay. They starts to drink alcohol but I didn't drink any because I don't really drink alcohol that much. I just eat snacks and go around the resort. Around 4 pm we go back to the pool and play because there is just a little amount of crowd and most of them go home already. But we just stay there until 5 pm and go home already my cousin takes us home with their car.
After I got home I am really tired but I washed all the dishes that we bring home and what we left because it's really a lot. Then I go to sleep because I am tired and sleepy already. Good thing that day my teachers announced that they can't go to online class because of the meeting. That's why I am free the whole day.

**Author's Note:**
Thank you for reading this article. I want to write it last Thursday but I got really tired to do it that's why I just publish it now.
Wakey! Wakey!!! It's time to get up
*Have you ever heard/see the quote "Get up,otherwise your comfort zone will kill you"?*
As I was scrolling through my Facebook feed last night I saw this quote but I didn't pay attention to it because it is just a random quote then I continue scrolling and go to sleep but the moment I open my eyes I suddenly remember this quote that's why I immediately get up. I open my account for school and check if there is any activities I need to do even though it's Saturday and I don't have any class I was awake by 6 am. I saw my father that just get up and he asked me if I have any class because it's Saturday and he knows I don't have classes.
I don't know I did I feel uneasy after remembering that quote hahahaha. Around 7:30 I was sweeping the falling leaves outside and while doing that I was laughing at myself because I got scared in a quote in early morning then starting to panic. I know it is a serious matter that I need to take action with if I want to be successful but I am laughing at myself because I panic and think that I won't be able to come out of my comfort zone.
Get up otherwise your comfort zone will kill you.
Staying in your comfort zone is good at first because you can do things the way that you are comfortable with or being contented to everything but it is really enough for you to stay to comfort zone because you think it is a safe place for you . Staying in your comfort zone is alright but it can also destroy you little by little because you are getting comfortable to things that you are missing a lot of opportunities that is waiting for you somewhere out there.
Most reason that may everyone say is that there is no guaranteed thing that is waiting for you and you don't want to take a risk because you will be severely affect or the your love one's will be almost affected. I think one of great example of this is Job. Most of the working employee is scared to quit their jobs because they are scared to be jobless and not provide anything for themselves or their families and that is a valid reason not everyone can take a risk of losing job because of family. But can you be satisfied to your daily living that is you need to work everyday because if you skip to work there isn't enough money for you pay debt and eat thing.
Are you really satisfied knowing that you worked everyday just to pay debt and eat. I am not advising anyone to quit your job immediately what I am saying that try to look ways for you to earn some extra money so that will have extra earnings for other things like emergency fund, investment or for simple pleasures for yourself and family. One of example of this the Read. cash and Noise. cash which we can earn some extra money that we can use as investment in crypto or use it buy simple things that we want.
There are a lot opportunities in Social Media website nowadays especially now that most of people have access to Internet we can seek a lot different opportunities that is spread around the internet just like as said blogging. It's either writing or making videos that you upload online by alloting time to it you can have extra money from it. Live streaming is also available to do if your personality is more out and you want to share it to others. There is a lot things that you earn more money or experiences that you need to be successful to life. I am sure that there is more opportunities out there it's either from social media or not there is a lot we are just missing it.

***AUTHOR'S NOTE:***
Good day everyone everyone thank you for reading this article. As I read this article I feel like I didn't write good enough or I didn't justify the topic itself because I feel like it needs more justification. I will try to write this topic again someday and I hope to give it more justice because the topic itself is good enough.
The Thinker Vs. The Doer
Have you ever dream to achieve something that you want?
*I guess everyone once think what you what to be or achieve in your life but my question is what did you do after to dream about. Did you just continue to think about it and hopes that it will come true one day or do you start to take action making your dreams come true.*
**Greetings:** Good day everyone from Read. cash I hope you have a great day today and have a wonderful tommorow. I decided to write this article after I remember of my teacher's in Highschool that is always giving us some advices.
Most of us are always think ahead of us and starts dreaming what we want to be or what we want to achieve. We all start of thinking a lot of things like for example when we are young we are always like thinking that we want a profession that we want to be or like when I grow up I will be an adult with great house and have lots of money. Even now I must say we must still be thinking of something that we want.
Thinking things like this makes us happy because we imagine ourselves in that kind of situation that we are dreaming, the only problem is we always just think about it and don't do anything to make this things happen. We always starts to dream something that we want but doing something just like we are waiting a miracle or some sort of Genie that will make this things happen but let's be more realistic and we know getting a miracle or a one in a million great chance is rarely to happen and the magic that my will our dreams come true in a snap is not true either. I want to make a example scenario showing the difference between the thinker and the Doer.
*Scenario*
There is a random guy that asked 2 people what is their dream business that they wish to have/run after 1 year.
The 2 people starts thinking on what business that they want to have. The 1st person is dreams to have a successful coffee shop while the 2nd person wants to have a burger shop. They both thinking about having these successful business that they want to own someday.
The 1st person started to thinks about his business idea and plans on his dream business after that allotted a generous amount of time researching about the products that he wants to sell in his shop then he started to think how can he get funds for his business, he starts to save little by little in his salary and he also done a lot of business proposal and sent to the possible investor. One of the investor is impressed in his business proposal and decided to help him starts his business. After 1 year after he meet the guy that asked him he already have a successful business that he is dreaming about.
On the other hand 2nd person didn't do anything to make his dream business come true. He just keeps on thinking about his dream is but just waste his time on doing not doing anything and spend some of his time on some nonsense. After 1 year he haven't done anything on making his dream business come true and just still thinking about it.
After 1 year of asking 2 people the random guy seen the the 2 people that he asked about their business. He saw that the 1st person already have his successful business that his dreaming of while the other still haven't achieve the dream business that he wants.
Moral Lesson of the Scenario is:
Always be the Doer. Don't just thinks about something you want you also starts to take action to make this come true. By making a one by one steps to make this thing happen.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading this article. I apologise if you don't want or the scenario that I give is not really good I am still learning writing things like this and I really not good in making example scenarios.

Lunch get together
Ever since my grandfather starts to live in the subdivision near us we rarely see each other. Because we always busy or just we don't have a reason to go there sometimes because my grandfather don't want a lot noises in the house and that is one of the main reasons why my uncle that is working abroad decided to buy a land and build a house for my grandfather to be more at peace and quiet. But he wasn't alone there he was living with my step-grandmother or what we called auntie.
We always just go there when he asked us to do something like helping with moving stuffs or he asked us to buy something. But we are always there when there is an occasion like Christmas, New year, Fiesta and Birthdays. But most of the time my father always come there to visit because he the only child among there family that is living near to my grandfather. My uncle's and aunt is living in far province and some of them is currently working abroad and already have family there. But they always video call my grandfather everyday and always tell my father to visit him to check his condition.
My Cousin's Vacation
One of my cousin that is living in a far province from us is on her vacation for 2 weeks that's why she decided to go here and visit while she doesn't have anything to do. She arrived a few days ago and currently staying in her boyfriend's house that is just in the other barrangay. Ever since she came back she was always in my grandfather's house and always tell us to go there to eat lunch. The first that she come I didn't go my grandparents house because I am paying my tuition fee and I have something to work with but my brother is there with my little cousins . Then last Monday she invited us again and I am not busy that's why I went there with them and eat lunch there. I am there with my brother plus just one little cousin because it is raining that time that's why we couldn't all go there.
Today's Lunch get together
Last night my cousin chat us again to have lunch there and we agreed because we don't have anything to do except classes. I skipped one that is for 11-12 because I want to go there because there a lot of people that is present there today. My father , brother and I went there as well as my sister's family then, my other cousins that is just living right next to our house. We agree to be there around 11:30 am so that we can prepare the foods. We also pledge different dishes so that my step-grandmother will not be too tired from cooking a lot.
Almost all of us arrive around 11:30 - 12:00 but my cousin that is still not there and we are still waiting for her then we call her she said that she just waiting for his boyfriend because he has still have some errands to do. Then we just wait for while the little ones is just playing around the house. Around 12:30 they arrive and we start eating there quite a lot of foods the one that is in that table are Friend Fish Tilapia, Fried Chicken, Fried Tofu and eggplant,Fried rice, Missua and hotdog. While the other contains the rice, the itlog na pula( I don't know the English term for this) , Juice and coffee jelly but unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of it. After my grandfather saw that there quite of food he asked why did we bring a lot. And my little cousins asked what is the occasion because there is a lot of foods for lunch.
After we eat we my cousins just talk to each other while the children plays a lot. I am just just with my niece because she is already asleep because she was already tired with playing with other children. We see that my grandfather is really happy because it is rarely to see that we are all gathered in one place and it's always so quiet there. Around 3:00 we decided to go home already because some of them still have something to do while my father also have something to do.

Treating Myself
Last December 2021 I am supposed to buy something for myself as a Christmas / Birthday gift for myself. I am thinking to buy a new shoes or watch because it's been years since I brought a new shoes to myself. I have a 2 pairs of shoes at that time, the first one that my sister gave to me as a Christmas gift and a birthday give last Christmas of 2017 it's the one that frequently used when I was going out when Pre-pandemic. It's quite old but it's still good because I take care of my things quite good and the other rubber shoes that I have is the one that I brought myself last New year of 2020 I remember I brought a new shoes that time because my sister is gonna be married and I want to wear something that is really good because it's a special occasion for my sister. That's why I brought a lot new things for myself that time when I was also buying gift for my sister. While for the watch I am not really a watch person because I don't typically wear watch when I going out I just want to buy it because my brother told me to.
Last December I already have things in my cart in the online shopping app that I want for myself which is a pair if rubber shoes and watch. The shoes cost 1,399 pesos and watch cost around 900+ pesos something I don't really remember the price that time. I really think that it's quite pricy but my brother told that it's alright because I rarely buy things I like this that's why I just said yeah it's alright but the time I was going to check out the products I realized that I didn't really need a new things because I my things is still alright even though it's already been used for a long time. It's still looks alright and it's still usable. It's not that I don't have enough money to buy that it just I feeling to buy things that I know it wasn't needed and I don't want to use my saved money that I things that I wasn't gonna use.When orders of my brother is already arriving he asked me when is my order gonna be delivered then I said that I didn't order anything. He asked me if I didn't have any money if that is the reason why didn't buy it. Then I just told him that I just don't want too.
Then when my birthday comes it is just this January, my father take out us just to eat a lunch in Shakey's and while where eating my brother suddenly reminded about my not ordering for myself. Then my sister also asked me why and if I have enough money to buy because she thinks that I want to buy it but I just don't have enough money. That's why she convince me to buy something new for me and she can lend me some money if I need but I refuse it because I still have money but it's not really a lot it just some money that I saved for if I need something imediately.
After we got home I just convinced myself to buy something for me. I brought this plain black rubber shoes from shoppe it just cost 640 pesos from the online shopping app because of sale. I brought this one not because it's cheaper I brought this one because it's from Russ and according to their store it is located in Makirina and most of the shoes that is made from marikina is durable. It arrives immediately just 2-3 days upon ordering and it's feel a little tight but it's just really fit my feet. I didn't buy any watch I know I wasn't gonna use it. I am just gonna borrow from my brother when I need it because he have 4 watches and I can borrow anyone when he's not using it.

Babysitting My Niece
My sister is just living a few minutes away from our house and we often visit in their house when we have something to deliver or borrow from them. They are also always in our house when there is a special occasion like birthdays because my father always invite them here and they can come in our house anytime and we are always together when we are going outside like when we are going to visit in my mother's province or just eating when there is someone's birthday.
Asking us to look after My niece
When my sister and brother-in-law needs to go somewhere most of time they just left my niece with my brother in law's sister but when she was not in the house it's either they will ask us to accompany my niece in their house or they will drop off my niece in our house just for a couple of hours.
Yesterday my sister went to her friend's wedding but they can't left my niece with her aunt because she was still asleep from her overnight with her friends in the resort so my sister have no choice but ask us to look after my niece because they can't bring my niece with them because the cases of Corona Virus is still high in our city even though it was a close gathering and all close friends they can't still take a risk about my niece's safety. They are really wasn't planning to go because of the Corona but this friend is one my sister's close friend and they ensure that it is just a small gathering that's why they decided to still go.
My sister decided to call us a night before she attend the wedding if we are free and not doing something important since I still don't have any classes I just said and my brother is just helping me to look after my niece because he still have classes to attend with that day. My sister went to our house around 8-8:30 am to leave my niece and go.
Before my sister leave she left a bag full of things that my Niece might need. She explained to me where is the emergency medicines, ointment, wipes, clothes, snacks, and how many scoops of milk per bottle that I need to make when she wants milk. Actually there is 2 bags that she packed the other one is just full of clothes, toy and other stuffs but I didn't really use it the whole time. I told her that she over packed again hahaha. She is just gonna left my niece for a couple of hours but she packed almost 1-2 days worth of clothes. When my sister left my niece and I just start to watch some Cocomelon, Masha and the Bear, JoJo English and Sophia the First. My niece is just 1 year old and 7 months she wasn't that hard enough to take care with when she is with us because mostly we are just watching from the tablet or playing outside.
After we watch videos for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes. I turned off the tablet and asked her to come outside. Good thing is that the weather is good it wasn't raining and not really sunny that's why we just go out play with our dogs and cats. My niece is quite scared in our dogs maybe because they are so hyper and keeps on running around her while she really loves the cats because they are just playing and sitting outside. After playing outside for about 30 minutes I feel tired that's why I already convince her to go inside to eat some snacks. I believe that I got more tired than my niece playing outside.
After that we went inside and imediately give her some water because she always need to be hydrated. I give some snacks like baby biscuits and some fudgee bar. After eating I feel like she is quite sleepy that's why I give her milk that's why she fell asleep for 30-45 minutes. Then after that she was immediately awake good thing she wasn't throw a tantrum she just sits and watch in the Tablet again. A minutes later my brother already feed her a lunch because his classes is already he is the that will after my niece because I am going to wash the dishes. She just play with some toys and play with us. Around 3:00 pm my sister and brother-in-law is already back. The funny thing is my niece cries when she my sister because maybe she just realized that they left without her that's why we are just laughing at her. My sister give us a fries and Burger for snack because they brought some toys and spaghetti for my niece. And they already left to go back home.

Preparing For New Semester
FEBRUARY 4 2022
Next week is the start of our 2nd Semester and I am still waiting for my subjects and the schedules of my online classes. Last Tuesday I went to Cebuana to pay my enrollment fee and I already send the receipt to our registar. He replied to my chat and said that I am already enlisted but I still don't have a new schedule for my subjects this semester that's why I am just gonna prepare for the incoming semester.
Goals For This Sem
I will am going to sleep early and wake up 15-30 minutes before my first class started. It's one of my struggles last semester because I always wake up late or I am entering to classes then just sleep the whole time that's why I want to be more responsible student this semester.
I am going to jat down notes while listening to the class. When I was in class I always screenshot everything and always saying to myself that I will write it down in my notes and review it but I didn't do any of those this whole semester I am just surprised that I passed the semester while barely writing notes.
Will do the activities 3-5 days before the deadline. It's one of my problems in the 1st semester I always do the activities when they are just a day or the exact date that they need to be submitted.
Participate more it class. Most of time our teachers always ask us questions while discussing but I don't really speak the class expect when my name is called. I am going to try to overcome my fear in talking to other people.
Have a confidence to speak in group works. We have a lot group works or activity that we do in class but most of the time I don't really care to speak and I am just saying yes or agreeing when they give me a task to do I am quite nervous to say what's on my mind to them.
Things to do Before the Semester starts :
I am going to organize my school things like my pens, notebook and other stuff. I really don't have a lot school supplies right now because I didn't buy any because where at online class I didn't realize that I need to buy those things. I want to organize my things so that It won't be to hard to find when I need things like pens or paper.
I going to clean my mini reading table. I don't have a study table and we don't have a small table that can fit in the small corner of my room that's why I make my own table out old metal chair and plywood last year and it was just alright and usable the only thing is I don't really use it that much because I am always at my bed when attending classes. I am going to use that table when I am going to attend in my class.
Organize my personal documents. I am looking for my folder where I put my important documents a few days ago and j try to find it before Monday because I need to have a scan copy of some of my personal documents to send to my school. That folder where I keep my personal documents contains my Birth certificate, the NSO copy of my Birth certificate, a copy of my good moral from my previous school, some 1×1 and 2×2 pictures, my graduation picture, my diploma, and etc. I've been keeping my personal documents ever since I was young because I know I will always need it for something.
Clean my device storage. I really need to clean the storage that I am using to attend to classes because sometimes the teachers ask us to download or install some specific file or app but I am running out storage that's why I deleted some things that I wasn't supposed to delete last time.
This are my main goals and things that I want to do in this semester. I hope I can do this goals in this semester so that I can be more responsible student this year. I am just waiting for my schedules so that I can already set my alarms according to the time of the subjects.

Good day everyone I am hoping that all you are safe and strong. Always be positive and always believe in yourself because you are the best in your own. Thank you for reading have a nice day godbless.

Asking stuffs from my Parents
Have ever feel embarrassed asking stuffs in your parents?
I just turned into a legal age a few weeks ago even though I am still considered to be young by some people and I still need to depend in my parents to survive. My parents were separated ever since I was in kindergarten that's why I grew up in my grandparents house. But I just started living with in my father's house a few years ago because my grandparents moved into a new place. Even though I don't have any hatred to my parents even they got separated when I was little I wasn't really that close to the both of them.
When I was a child my father is always going home in my grandparents house where I live that's why I am quite close to him while I always go to my mom's house in the another province every school break or vacation. When my grandparents moved out I feel quite weird because I am already used in living with them ever since I was a child. I don't have any problem with taking care of myself because ever since I was little I am used to cook and wash my clothes by myself and I don't have any problem in my school life either even though I am not really good when I was in Elementary and I am always in Honors when I got into highschool.
The one of my many problems with my parents is asking for money or stuffs. I am really embarrassed to ask for money or stuffs from my parents because I wasn't really used to asking for something in my parents even though I really need it. When I was in highschool we always have something to pay or some projects to do that cost some money I asked money from my father if I know to myself that I can't pay it myself but most of the time I just save my daily allowance to school that I received every day before I go to school. I am always trying to look for ways to save money like I am just walking home than taking a public transportation because I have some friends that living nearby our house and sometimes we just decided to walk to home so that we can just spend some time before we go home. I also not eating when recess because I make sure that I eat something before I leave home so that I am just gonna eat my lunch and I don't feel hungry when the recess start.
When I was in highschool there are three of us that is going to school. I am just studying in the junior level while my oldest sister is already graduating student in College and my older brother is living in my aunt's house because she is the one that supports my brother while he was studying. My father is working as an electrical engineer in a company that and he is the only one supporting us that time and he also sends some money to my half sister that is living with her mother in other place while we can't really ask money from my mother because she wasn't making a lot of money and she also need to support my another half sister in her side.
I am always embarrassed to ask for money even though I need it when I was still little and that grows even big now that I am already quite older. I am currently studying in the mode of Online Learning / Online class and one of things that I need while attending in it is Data Connection in attending in zoom classes it always eat a lot data and I also use a quite big amount of data in making and passing requirements like documents or video into my teachers. My father always give us a loading allowance every week but it is not enough and I am embarrassed to ask for more good thing I have some extra money that I get from using noise and I can save some money from buying load from shoppe because there is a discount when you buy load from there. There is a lot things that I want when I was growing up like when I see my friends got a new gadgets or new stuffs when I was I child I always feel jealous of it but I never asked for my parents for it that's why today when I want something I am always trying to look for ways to get in on my own and now when I see my friend or someone with new things or something I already don't feel jealous about it because I am more mature now and I know how hard to earn money is that's why I don't really waste it just spend more wisely.
