Cheers To Your 51st! So yesterday we celebrated our father's 51st birthday. This celebration was supposed to be last year for his 50th birthday but since last year was lockdown, it got postponed and we celebrated it this year instead. So where do I start? I think I'll start to share how good, hardworking, helpful, disciplinarian, and strong a father he is. A ***disciplinarian*** father. I was the eldest daughter I did have my time to maximize my chance to be the only child…
Failed Relationships? That's Fine! Love is the greatest feeling that a human can offer to anyone. It defines everything. It is service, mysterious, compromise, sacrifice, patient, trust, hopeful and emotional. But how do you handle failed relationships? Have you experienced it? Or not yet? I hope not. There's nothing more devastating if the relationship is no longer working and there's no other way but to let go of each other. Others would say, why would you give up? If you…
How Much BCH Have I Spent For Myself & For My Family? April 2018 when I resigned from my job. From toxic environments, to horrible bosses, I decided to take a rest first because working has been so stressful to me and my health was already at risk. I came across a post on Facebook in May 2018 about 2captcha. Its mode of payment is via bitcoin. That was the time when I first discovered cryptocurrency but HODLing was not yet in my vocabulary. Whenever I get my payout, I…
Happy Mother's Day! July 8, 1995, when mama became a first-time mom. When they first found out that mom was pregnant, papa was very concerned about how he's going to present himself to my grandparents. As per mama, my grandma cried when they knew that she was pregnant. She asked herself why grandma was crying when she already had a stable job. She guessed that probably, grandma cried because she's concerned about her future that papa is a bad and abusive husband, which never…
House Helper For Two Days Last week I noticed that our house helper (working student) has always been busy calling through her phone and I'm hearing things about "Lechon Belly" and stuff. Last Tuesday, she went out and ask my consent because she has an errand and that is to make a tarpaulin. So when she came home I asked her if when is her birthday, she told me this coming May 24. So I wondered what was the tarpaulin all about. She then told me it's for her elder sister's…
Hellos and Goodbyes When I entered college, I lived with my grandparents since the house is just 5 minutes away walk from the university I attended to. That was 2011. Although back in my younger years, I used to go on vacation here in this house. The year 2009 when we had Xyril. Xyril is the first great-grandchild of the family. He is the son of my cousin in mother's side. They also live with our grandparents since the house is accessible to the city premises. Xyril's mom is…
Sai-Sai, Our Dearest Helper I just came from an unexpected errand and so I have to write this article as quickly as possible because I'm running behind my schedule and it irritates me when I can't follow the plans for today. My grandmother just got vaccinated and I'm quite concerned about her blood pressure because it went as high as 180 but the doctor sent her home and just let her rest. She told me to ensure taking her maintenance in high blood. A few months before Sai-sai…
Astigmatism: The Struggle Is Real When I was in high school, I have my classmates who were wearing eyeglasses and I thought it was so cool to wear them because you'll look like a geek or genius. There was a time in fourth-year high school where we wear eyeglasses but the catch is, we take off our lenses so technically what we wear is only the frame. Such a jeje decision. We thought we were so cool back then but when I think of it today, it was totally disgusting. Upon…
Cebu Days: A Handful of First Times This article is inspired by @Ruffa 's article about her **Travel experiences** and @bbyblacksheep 's article about **Job hunting.** I thought about combining the two since it best applies to me. https://read.cash/@Ruffa/my-first-travel-experience-a-memories-c3194a73 https://read.cash/@bbyblacksheep/job-hunting-part-1-19e3aa7c Landing a job after graduation is what a fresh graduate would always have in mind. I mean, not everyone but most…

Cebu Days: A Handful of First Times (II) So I got out on the ship around 6 in the morning. I forgot what day was it but my classmate was already there to fetch me and go to our rented room. Before I went there, I made sure that everything is all set like the room I'll stay in and it should be just a 5-10 minutes ride from IT Park, my soon-to-be workplace. They assured me that everything is clear and so there's nothing I should be worried about. The moment I got out of the…
Cebu Days: A Handful of First Times (III) In the first part, I wrote about my first riding a ship alone, long-distance travel. The second part was when my first time applying for a job after college. Life after college is the most challenging of all. So this part would be about the call center industry's cultures and traditions. **First time to undergo an overall wellness check.** Before you undergo the training, there will be an orientation about the requirements to comply…
Cebu Days: A Handful of First Times (IV) Everything was new to me since I entered the call center industry. I could hardly remember the terms the industry is using but these are some my memory has retained: **NCNS - No Call No Show** This happens when an agent is absent but doesn't call the company's hotline for an excuse of not going to work. **59ers or 29ers** This happens when you receive a call 1 minute before your out. That's such a frustrating moment. Happened many…
Cebu Days: Final Moments For the past 4 articles, I shared my first-time experiences in Cebu. I am thankful that I got to experience those because experiences teach you many things and make your life more meaningful. In my last months of stay in Cebu, I decided to make the most of it. December 2015 when I spent Christmas working, that's when I realized that I should quit my job and go home. During that time, I was so stressed and homesick. My stats were greatly affected and…
Are You Happy? A few days ago, I came across to an Instagram story. It is about a guy who asks a quick question to random persons. As he was walking along the street, he saw an old man walking. He seems to have a difficulty in walking but he can still manage himself. He asks the old man, "*Hi! Can I ask you a quick question? Would that be fine*?". The old man seems a bit grumpy as to how he looks but he answers back, "*Sure. Not a problem*". "*Are you happy*?". The guy asks.…
A Sudden and Unforgettable Trip When I came here back from Cebu, I rested for two months. During those months, I just stayed in our house resting, watch television, and the routine goes circling round and round. Around June, I started to look for job openings online and I was so sure that my next workplace would be in Davao. It was Independence Day when I saw a post on Facebook about a job fair at the NCCC Mall Davao. I was so certain to go there because my main goal is to…
