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.

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.
