Pandemic Adventure (Wander with safety and sound) Nihao! How do you do ladies and gents! It's been a while I've been staying at home since the day I went home last April from Cebu City. Due to some restrictions brought by the pandemic outbreak. I seldom went out to visit my friends and relatives or to have a quick escape for adventure with them. Just recently, I and this pretty gal with me (my new found friend) in Ichon Southern Leyte. She is always invited for adventure in BJ's Mountain View at Malitbog Southern Leyte. However, due to the hectic and conflict schedule of my online class (char being bisi tahay 😂) I was not able to accompany her at her first invitation attempt even though I really wished to go to. August 12, 2021 Time flies so fast. After taking the Computer-Based EPT (English Proficiency Test) in Ichon National High School at 8:00 in the morning, Eddelyn invited me to go to BJ's Mountain View again. I decided to go with her because it's her rest day and I don't have an online class schedule at that time. Though we are prohibited to wander outside through CoViD, we still get the interest to swerve a little bit and we bear in mind to maintain the health protocol like wearing facemask and social distancing. BJ's Mountain View is nearly located in Guinabonan, Malitbog Southern Leyte and it's quite far from Ichon, Macrohon, where I am currently staying at my Aunt's house. The road was long, rough-rocky road and steep; there is also a road crossed and bumpy and plain because it's not all well-cemented. However, we enjoy the round ride trip worth 100 plus 20 pesos entrance fee at BJ's Mountain View. After a couple of hours, we went home at 4:50 pm riding the same motorcycle because the motorcycle's driver told us that he wouldn't have any passengers if he went back to the terminal, so it was better to wait. This was how my quick pandemic adventure went before I went home to Sogod, Southern Leyte. How about you? How do you spend your time enjoying yourself aside from creating articles in reading or working? 5 Tips for Happiness 1. Get closer to God. How is your relationship with God? Sometimes, somehow we fail to evaluate how our relationship is to God. Getting closer to God is the first tip towards happiness. He is the source of love, joy, and happiness. Do the BTS to God. Believe that there is God. Jesus is not a religion, but of faith. Regardless of what your religion you belong to, what matters most is our faith and actions. Trust God with all your hearts and with all your souls. Trusting God is one way or another of loving God. Trust not just because we are obliged to do it. Trust him not out of rules and obligation to obey with. Trust him that he has the biggest plan for us, more than what we think. Surrender Submit to God all your problems, worries, anguish, ups and downs plans and your desires. Surrendering yourself to God wholeheartedly is to fear nothing. We only need to believe in the holy ghost that leads us to the way that God wants us to be. 2. Live at the very moment and that's called a present. We deserve to celebrate what a precious present brings. Bury the past and never look back. Don't dwell too much on the past, you have nothing to do with, but you can learn from it. Don't be too imaginative about the time machine. It doesn't exist. Whatever you experienced from the past, leave it there. Regret less, but learn from it more than you think you can. Do not overthink the future might be. 3. Smile as much as you can. It would not take a second to do it, but it can turn everything into great! 4. Do what pleases you to make yourself happy and fulfilled. Don't depend on your happiness to somebody you want just to make you happy. Make yourself happy and find someone that matches it (#force). 5. Don't fall too easily. Because everything that falls gets broken. Just remain vigilant but pleasant. Calm but wise. Listen. Observe. Verify every step you take before entering. What about you? Can you share some tips for happiness? Sharing is caring, so I would love to hear from the end about your hidden tips towards happiness. Thank you for reading ❣️ Images are taken from unsplash.com

Happy Born Day Laoshi jeeeaaann143 💜07/25/2021 This day is my very special day and I should have to enjoy the day that I deserve. Before this day came, I just created a video show of my random pictures on my phone using a capcut app on TikTok. I am planning to put my video show on my storyline during this day like what I did on my friends' birthdays. I also created a video show for them during their birthday. At 6:00 am I unconsciously get up and I open my phone to put my video show that I created to my story line. This is the first time that I posted my video show on my story line on my birthday. I am not used to it even before, and waking up at 6am is not my habit lol. I usually wake up at 8:30 or 9am because I usually fall asleep at 11pm due to the shifting schedule of my online ESL class. Afterwards, I went back to my bed like I used to be, then I just continued dreaming hahaha. Fast-forward, I am planning to buy a cake or whatever food I like. However, I forgot to withdraw my money on my card and I need to travel to Maasin City to cash in the little money I had. I also don't like to borrow some money from my aunt. Aside from that, I haven't received my salary yet because it's not pay day. So I was thinking that it's okay not to have a big celebration on my birthday as long as I am blessed to have another year added to my age. Having a healthy mind and body is what matters most. Besides, I am also fully booked all of my plotted time I set. And I couldn't cancel it because you know na... Salary and teaching points deductions might be imposed, so I have nothing to do with it, so I worked for the entire day teaching Chinese students and I just replied to all the greetings I received from my family, friends and relatives at the same time. At 5pm, I went to Ichon Paris church to offer thanksgiving to the almighty one for granting me the gift of life. At 7pm to 9:30pm these are my plotted time for teaching students. After I ate my dinner, I went to my work station (room) to prepare for my following classes. Actually, I am an independent contractor (home-base ESL teacher). As I was preparing my teaching tools, I was wondering why all of my teaching tools didn't work well like it says that this app is not responding. There is no fluctuating or intermittent internet speed, so there's no reason for having a system glitch. I was really worried about that time because I had 4 expected classes and I didn't want to miss it because I knew the consequences afterwards I had to cancel all my classes. It seems like there was an invisible matter who ruined my PC lol because I was not able to use it. Maybe they think I am supposed to celebrate my day not to spend my time working at these hours hahaha. And that's what I am thinking too. As I expected, I cancelled all my classes due to system error and I also received some deductions on both teaching points and salary. How sad it was, but I wasn't feeling down at that time. I tried to compose myself that time instead of procrastinating to something and blaming my PC for not functioning well. At the end of the class schedule at 9:pm, when I open my PC and my teaching tool, everything is cool. There is no my system glitch, everything is functioning well. Now I realized that I should have to value my time for myself because it's my day rather than to prioritize my work. What do you think? Yeah, I really realized after that incident. Sometimes we tend to forget ourselves that we need time to enjoy ourselves, to relax and to feel the moment when it's needed. You cannot continue doing what you want to achieve if you fail to take care of yourself. So that's it. Hehehe, that's how I celebrated my birthday on the 25th of July this year. This was such an unforgettable experience during my birthday. Just sharing...💜 Thank you for reading ❤️
