Everyday Is Really A Blessing.
There's a lot of things that's been going on in our surroundings lately and one of it was the pandemic that gave us too much trouble. There's still trauma that's been engraved to our soul and to be honest I'm still afraid to go out especially socializing in the crowd. I don't know what might happen so I'm avoiding to be in it as long as possible.
Despite the trauma that's left, I still have to do some errands in order to survive each day and I know all of us sacrifice our safety to survive. I just hope that the covid will be gone completely for us to have a peace of mind.
Everyday is a blessing for my life and I'm sure in your life too. The moment you woke up in the morning, it's already a blessing and it's something that we must be forever grateful since not all has the chance to wake up once again. I'm lucky that this kind of scenario didn't yet happen huhu.
Being alive is a huge blessing and as long as we are breathing we can experience a lot more blessings in our life.
Just like today, the banana fruit that I harvested the other week has already ripen and we're consuming it now. It's really a blessing that I'm able to eat fresh fruit from my hard work of planting before.
That's why it's a blessing also that I'm able to use my hands to plant something like a banana.
My grandma sell 3 set of it the other day and it's one source of money here. Therefore, everyday is considered to be full of blessings. Even if we can't see the other blessings that's going on around us, for sure there are.
How about you friends, did you think that everyday is a blessing also? I'm sure that there's a lot of things that's you're grateful also.
How we see each day differs from our own perpective of life and that's right. There's nothing wrong about it since we have all different situations everyday. Even if that's the case, I don't believe you if you will say that there's nothing good happens in each day because there is. We can't notice every single detail but definitely, there are.
If you grasped the meaning of life already for sure you will understand what I'm saying. If not then what's I'm trying to tell you is that even the smallest good things that we receive each day, it is something to be grateful for.
Big blessings starts from the small ones after all. Always remember that my friends.
Also before I forgot, having pets in our home is a blessing such as dogs and cats. They are there to make us happy and make us realize a lot of things.
If we don't know how to love, they are the one who will teach us that kind of thing. It's amazing how they turn me into a pet lover and I really glad that I have them in my life. They are a life saver also. Negative absorber and a naturally lover.
That's all I want to say and remind everybody.

How You Respect Someone Reflects Who You Really Are.
In this excistence of mine I witnessed a lot of certain situations already wherein someone is basing their way of respecting someone through the profession other people holds. Thoughts came to my mind that it's just too wrong to base in that one.
**In the first place how can you respect someone even if he's or she's professional if that person is too arrogant, downing people for their own benefit and others especially the poors.**
I can't see a single reason to do it even if other people will call me rude or whatever, I just can't stand such person before my eyes. How about you friends, what is your say to this one? Will you give respect to someone who's attitude is far than worst?
Before you answer that one friends I just want to say Great morning to everyone out there in all parts of our world if you're here. It's really nice to see sunrise first in the morning and I can't avoid not to smile everytime I see it.
The sun is up there burning all the way again and thanks to that because my laundry that I did yesterday will be dried. Yesterday was raining so it didn't dried. I hope your laundry is doing well also. I hope you're doing well also hihi.
I know it's hard to do the laundry but we must do it especially if there's no shops available nearby. I do it by hands, what about you guys?
Going back to what I'm saying earlier, I said that I witnessed a lot already when it comes to it and ofcourse I experienced it also. We experienced it, my family and what's worse is that the people who's doing it were our relatives.
It's like that we've been slap in the face with a steel because of that and it's a big shame, in their part ofcourse because we're not the only one they're treating like that. All the poor people here in our place. Too much toxicity is going on here huhu and it makes my blood to boil.
I just want to share this one and also to remind everybody that please stop this kind of attitude if you're like this that you base your respect in their professions.
It's not really pleasant into the eyes that someone has been pinned down just because he or she don't have a profession like those in the upper class.
In the first place, the profession of one person does not define the whole personality of that individual. Some people out there has the most paying profession but in the end their attitude towards other people is not well then it's just mess up everything about that good profession.
I encountered a person the other day and he downed me because I didn't go to college anymore. As I said if you're an arrogant person then my attitude towards you will change also. That time my attitude changed and said that why don't he look at the mirror and asses himself first. Because in the first place he's jobless even if he graduated with colors in college. I said that with just a slight respect since I was raised to respect other people no matter what the case.
If you can see what I'm talking here and what I'm trying to tell here then you understand it.
**Respect comes in many forms and I hope this one will not be the reason for us to fall apart. No one wants that right?.**
Now it's 10 in the morning already and I hope you have something in mind for your lunch already but first and foremost, **do a coffee break hihi.**☕😊
**Thank you for reading friends.**

Christmas Celebration Is On The Way.
Celebrating Christmas is all about the little things. It's about family, friends, and lots of love. It's a time to be together and enjoy each other's company, which is why I wish and hoping that everyone of us in this world will have a Merry Christmas celebration.
I want you to take a moment to look back at all the wonderful things that happened this year, you can also look back at those bad things that happened but just focus to the lessons you've got. In addition, I want you to look forward to what's coming up next year because for sure the next chapter of our life will be exciting again and worth sailing despite the obstacles ahead.
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season as early as now.
We're so excited to celebrate Christmas this year so I just want to share something to you.
Make sure to check your health this coming holidays because no matter how happy the celebration is if you're down then it's just useless. You can't enjoy it. Keep it in check always especially that it's getting colder and colder already.
Don't forget yourself this time, you deserve the best gifts too for doing a goid job for this whole time. Another chapter of our life is about to end but you're still standing on your feet. Clap at yourself. Appreciate yourself more than anyone else out there. You really deserve it I'm telling you.
Don't forget about your friends and family they'll appreciate it when they see that you took some time out of your busy schedule to spend it with them. Enjoy with them atleast a little bit of time because we don't know when this kind of time will happen again. Our time is not in our hands. We can die anytime, anywhere.
And finally, please don't forget about God especially Jesus for this is his birthday, after all. Thank Him for all the blessing that you received. Even if it's too small or big, still it's a blessing we must be thankful. Appreciate the small and little ones because bigger things came from it.
No matter how you celebrate this event, be with your family or your friends or even be with your self only, what's important is that you're truly showing the spirit of Christmas. Take it to your heart, savor the great feelings brought by this grand occasion. Enjoy while it lasts.
As for us, we will celebrate it with my family but this is the first time wherein my grandfather is not with us anymore. First time is truly a hurtful one. Can't help but to have teary eyes whenever I remember the days when he's still with us. Well that's life , we cannot stop the cycle. We must live in it. Take a step and move.
Face the reality, burry the past but engrave the lessons.
**Whatever the reasons why you're sad now, still don't forget that there are more things that makes you happy amd can make you happy.**
**Be HAPPY and ENJOY.**
**Merry Christmas to you and to your family.**
**Thank you for reading .**

Our Flaws Didn't Meant To Lessen Our Value.
There's nothing perfect in this world we live in. No matter how you desire to be perfect, we just can't because all of us have flaws and it is unique in each other flaws. It is true and we can't deny that but to remind you, those flaws that's present within us are not meant to lessen our value. Our value are not measured by those flaws and learn to embrace your flaws because it what makes you stronger and have the power to move forward day by day.
But we can't just accept it easily that's why we feel insecure with other people sometimes and asks the questions why they are like this and like that. We keep on comparing ourselves from others and we didn't notice that because of this kind of action, we are degrading ourselves even more. It's just not right for us to do this with our own selves.
You may not be perfect but you are excel at things which makes you a better human.
You may not the smartest in your classroom when it comes to school and sometimes you're being labeled as a human who is not good in thinking but it's all a lie since deep inside you, you're smart but you just don't want to stand out too much because at the same time you're an introvert.
They may never know your struggles in life in thinking hard on how you will make your life a better one without the help of others because without a doubt, some individuals out there lack the companions in facing the challenges in their life. It may be you or me.
You may not be the prettiest or the most handsome out there but still I'm sure that there is one thing that makes you attractive to others. Many people will see it but not all can appreciate it. Only those who is true to you will be the one who can do it. And I want you to know that it's okay if that's the case.
Your flaws may bring you unpleasant experiences and it will make you sad, down, will make you cry also but without you noticing, as you cry, your soul is becoming stronger and stronger.
Some people may see you very different in many ways and that's okay. It doesn't matter at all because it's just okay to be different from the rest. No matter how different you are, what's important is that you love yourself. Also remember that your worth didn't change at all in the eyes of people who can truly appreciate and accept you despite your flaws.
I have a lot of flaws to be honest but it didn't stop me to evolve into a better human, into an individual that I desire. I've been judged and criticized because of it but it didn't stop me to be kind to other people especially towards those people. It caused a lot of pain to me, made me cried a lot but it didn't stop me from showing warm and genuine love to other people. I can sense that they don't like me but it didn't stop me to become real infront of them. I have a lot of flaws but I'm still alive, it didn't kill me lol.
**Your Flaws, Your Strength**.
Life Is Tough Without A Doubt.
We live in a world with endless possibility and infinite outcomes. I'm in a human form just like you are but unless you're an alien then I can say we're not the same. Well we can't say for sure how "aliens" really looks like because we haven't seen one but we just called those things and creatures we've seen as aliens because we are not familiar with their features. What if those aliens we called are in human forms like us also and they are living with us for a long time already. It's not something to think off but it's something I was curious about.
Moving on, from that alone I can say that life is tough. From what I've experienced in this journey of mine, it's really tough in many ways and sometimes it's draining me and I was like just a thin air floating. It seems that my mind can't handle all the informations registering in it. Too much infos, too much to think.
Sometimes a thought will hit us such as why do we have to suffer the way we're in right now? Why do we have to be the one to be in this position now? Why other are doing just fine and why I'm not in that kind of position when I was born? Those disturbing questions gets in to my head sometimes when things are very hard in my side. Then when my mind calmed down atlast, the lessons they taught to me flashes back.
A lesson such as, You're in that position now because God knows that you can handle it and overcome it. Because He will not put you in that position if He didn't knew that you can succeed despite those obstacles in your front. Because He knew you better than anyone else. I'm holding into this one everytime life put me in a difficult situations and will seek guidance from Him then without any delayed, something will come or pop up as a solution to my problem.
Ofcourse I move everytime I seek guidance because nothing will happen if you just stay there and wait for it. He will guide you along the way. He's doing everything He can to make a path for you so don't be a hard headed that sometimes even if the path your taking is wrong already but you will decide to continue.
] can say that He guided me a lot of time already, taught me lessons that are not taught in school. As they said, in school, they teach you a lesson then you will be put to test while in reality with life, it will put you to test first then the lessons will follow. A big diffirence when it comes to the ways of teaching us about life and things.
Don't be afraid to face what's ahead of you because in this journey, He's with us. If He will remove something or someone from your life then let it be because He knows what's good for you. If He will put you to many trials then face them and surpass them because He knows how to make you stronger. If your plans are not being achieve then let it be, because He has a plan for you which is better than yours.
As you take this journey, let Him to the impossible things, trust Him because no matter what He will never leave your side and will make your dreams come true as long as you go on.
Sometimes when life is pinning me down to the ground, I don't let it. I fight back, I stand up because it pinned me down once and I already learned my lessons that's why this time, I gotta stand up and continue to step forward.
You gotta fight also and step forward no matter what.
Thank you for reading.

There are times in our life...
I can say that life has been good to me upto now. Life is giving me the varities of opportunities in this journey of mine and I can say that I did enjoy the ups and downs it offered me.
There's nothing more exciting than to sail this journey with all the people around you is supporting you but I can say that will never happen. Not all people that surrounds your life will be there in times of facing a battle.
**There are times** that you have to face it alone. For you to be able to withstand it even if you become alone in the near future. Because to be honest, even if we didn't want to be alone, eventually those people who's with you now will leave you. Maybe because they are not sincere in being with you or life just gave their final time.
Everything in this world are meant to fade away. Even those sturdy things in this world eventually meet their ends at the end. Just like the relationship you have now with someone you met in your life.
**There are times** in our life that we have to let go of that relationship we build for the rest for the rest of our life. You have to let go of it for the sake of you. Because in the end, if that relationship is not worth fighting for anymore then you don't have to torture yourself further more. Don't act as if you can't start a relationship again. Always remember that ofcourse you can and maybe the new relationship that you will build will last forever.
If your relationship with someone failed then don't take it too deep down in your soul. Take it as a lesson which taught you that nothing is perfect and you must know your worth.
Speaking of perfection, in this world we live in, there's nothing like perfection. We were made with a lot of flaws but as the time passes by and our character is slowly taking it's shape, those flaws that are present within us will be the reason why we are perfect in many ways. But we can't deny that this world we live in is harsh sometimes.
**There are times** that someone in your surrounding will have a feeling of jealousy towards you or even hate. Well that's very normal in this world because you don't have to be pleasant in their eyes at all times. There are people who will reject your being but there are those who will appreciate you so keep those people.
**There are times** in our life that we go through difficult times and I can say that it's okay. It's really okay for us to experience those hardships in life because they are the important ingredients for us to become a recipe that we like in the future. But always remember that it's not okay to be always sulking about things you can't control. You have to be effecient to the things you can control because in the end everything is in your hands.
**There are times** that you are sad but always remember that there are many reasons to be happy and live this life just like there's no tomorrow.

Every farmer's fear when there's a typhoon. The recent typhoon Paeng pinned down and drowned our rice that will be soon to harvest but the grains grew roots already as they've been submerged in rain. What a terrible news for us farmers.
It's a huge lost already for us and I'm really sad about it.
Typhoon oh typhoon how destructive you are.
Part of the Philippines has been hit by the typhoon Paeng again. Many lives were lost and same with their properties. It's truly a devastating event again for this year before the Christmas . What a sad scenarios to be seen.
How are you my fellow kababayans?
We're glad this time that the water level in the river beside our house didn't rise that high.
Keep safe everyone.

This new noise looks cool and it excites me more as I explore this one. Nice to see some people that I know .
Stranger Danger.
"Don't talk to a stranger". This phrase is very familiar right and popular especially when we were kids and even now I'm still hearing this one. A lot of parents including mine has told me about it many times when I was a kid for me not to get into danger. But will you believe me if I will say that a stranger will only bring danger. This one is somewhat true in some angles but it's also not depends upon the situation.
There are many things going on around this world and meeting a stranger is one of it. I know that all of us already experience it since we are here in this platform and I can say that all of us are stranger to each other. Some of us have relatives here or people we know but the majority of authors here don't have any background of the people we are interacting with.
Let's talk about the two scenarios wherein we meet strangers in our life which can give us the good outcome and bad outcome. Let's based it in my true to life story wherein I met certain strangers here in our province which led me to good path and bad path.
The good one comes first because I don't want to start telling my stories with negativities. I bumped into a man while walking through the pathway in our school when I was in highschol. He's just wearing simple clothes and he's about to leave the gate of our school when I bumped into him. I'm about to enter the gate then I didn't see him because of the tarpaulin posted in the steel bars. The impact of the bumped was strong and it made me to lose my footing.
He was shocked also and he immediately reach his hands to me as a sign to help me to stand. I grabbed it and said sorry first because I didn't see him going out. He then said sorry bacause he didn't see me also. After that I went inside the school and he went to his destination already. My intention in going to school that day was to enroll myself for grade 7. My friends are already inside answering the enrollment forms and I was late because of what happened.
I told them what happened and they just laughed at me for being weak. I thought that the man I met was just an ordinary guy who's visiting the school for some purpose but I was wrong. I saw the picture of that man hanging inside the faculty which has the title of principal. After that I felt so embarrassed for bumping into that man.
When we had our first flag ceremony, he had his speech and he just mentioned that he was just an ordinary guy before and he's just a son of a farmer who's life is not so good due to a lot of debt in funding their rice field. He grabbed the opportunity when a guy offered to take him into his home as a house boy in their house. His task is to feed their ducks and chickens as well as the dogs and cats.
That was his job until he finished his studies in college. There's no K-12 back then so he goes to college immediately. He helped also his father with his earning as a house boy. He was so determined to finish his studies and had a course of secondary education until he raised in ranks and made a title for himself.
I was inspired by his life story and it made me promised to myself to finish my highschool. Meeting him made a positive effect on my life that's why I can say that a stranger will not always put you into danger.
That how the scenario where I've been and let's move on to the negative side in meeting a stranger.
I've met a guy also but just two years ahead of me when I was 19. He seems friendly and he said that he's just located at the next barangay so I said ok I will entertain this one. Also he said that he knew about my family and cousins which is true because our relatives are all over the place. He gets my trust to talk to him later did I know that he's just kind at first but the truthness of his personality came out when he already got what he wanted to me.
Everyone of us have a lot of problems in our life especially when it comes to financial and that guy had one before so he asked for help. I'm this kind person who's willing to help to the best I can. I lend him a total of five thousand pesos and he said that he will used for the check up of his mother. And I can say that I made a huge mistake that time because I didn't asked any questions or details about his problem. Well I missed the chance because he said that it's urgent.
After that he just travelled back into their place in Isabela. He's not totally living here and he's just visiting. I don't have anything to blame for this one because in the first place it's my fault for not verifying the every details. I don't have a choice but to let go of it and learned a lesson not to trust somebody even if he's in a dire situation asking for some help.
I'm not totally saying that we should ignore every stranger asking for help but we should not give our full trust because we didn't know what's running in their minds. So to be safe don't rush in to a situation and carefully asses all the details first because nowadays this kind of people will just reason out everything just to milk out some money in your pocket.
I met a terrible mistake when I met that guy and from then I didn't entertain strangers in my life. But it's a different story when it comes into this platform because all of you are friendly that's why this community is getting bigger day by day and I can say that it's a good thing.
**Author's note**
That's the two side of my real life story of meeting strangers that gave me good and bad memories of them. I will never forget the lessons I got from them since it help me to evolve into something better.
**Thank you for reading this one again and see you next time.**

30DWC: How's My Day.
I woke up with a smile on my face and it's because of our newly adopted cat. Yes he's a cat but the likes of him has been experiencing discrimination from us humans. We cannot deny that it happened before and still happening in our time now. **Why?** It's because of their color and we humans put a corresponding belief to it when we see them wearing that color. What I'm talking about it their color which is black. I named my cat Asta and it is inspired by the anime character in Black Clover. Asta wears pure black and there's no other trace of other color in his hair.
Why these black cats all over the world have to experience such terrifying treatment coming from us. Why do we need to associate their unique color is accidents or tragedies happening around us. I just can't help but to disagree with the belief of many people when it comes to them that they are the cause of bad luck in human lives. I can respect people having beliefs but I can see people hitting these poor ones and even killing them on the spot. Our neighbor was like that when they owned a black cat. I hope these kind of treatment will be gone and will not continue anymore in order for these cats can live peacefully without the fear from us.
I've been dreaming to have a black cat in my whole life but I can't find one since people here don't like them but just the other day, that wish has been granted and I'm very happy. One of our neighbor here which is a close friend of my grandmother decided to give it. Her cat delivered three kittens and they'reg going to give it all to those who likes to adopt one.
Since she knew that we are looking for black cat for a long time, she called my grandma and gave it. Luckily that Asta is a male so she didn't hesitate to accept it. He's a playful one and this morning he woke me up with his cute paws. He used it to massage my chest. By the way he's very noisy but I just can't get to scold him due to his cuteness.
He's a deep sleeper also and he make that weird sound. I don't know how to call it so if you have a cat and make that sound when sleeping then that's it. If you know what it's called then kindly put it below thanks. Ofcourse I also witnessed the beautiful sunrise so my morning became evenu better.
That's how I woke up and as for my breakfast, I made a cup of coffee. This one will never be missing when consuming my fuel in the morning. As for our viand, my grandma boiled some eggplants and I make a sauce combining calamansi juice and fish sauce or bagoong. We consumed our breakfast with Asta on my lap as he waits for his food. Our food will be his food also.
We don't have fancy foods in our breakfast. This is what you expect when you live here in the province wherein you can get your foods from your garden. After filling my tummy I make some foods for our ducks and chickens. Feeding them is part of my daily routine and I enjoy doing it because they are just cute when they ask for their foods.
After feeding them I chopped some fire woods because we're running out of it already. I took a rest under the alitires tree beside our house while looking for some ripe fruits hanging on it's branches. I like this fruit for it is free and very nutritious.
We had our lunch consuming the traditional viand of Ilocanos, the dinengdeng. Composed of various vegetables that you can find in our surroundings. I took a nap for an hour because the high temperature is making me sleepy all of a sudden.
My father bought some tilapia for our dinner. I cooked it together with some siling haba. I loved cooking especially our viands in every meal. I really liked to prepare foods for my family and for other people that's why in the future I want to build a restaurant that will serve the people. It's aready dark when I finished cooking that's why we ate dinner after I transfer the dish into a bowl immediately.
We went to sleep together with my cat Asta. He likes to play before he sleeps so I played with him for a couple of minutes then he fall asleep atlast.
**Author's note**
That's how my day went and I'm thankful that I didn't encounter any negativities that can ruin my day because it's very difficult to encounter negative vibes especially when you wake up in a good mood.
This is a writing challenge by the way but I didn't follow the arrangement per day. I will write randomly but I will base it in the list.
**Thank you for reading my article.**

Romantic Things I Want To Experience.
Being a human and being alive is one of the gift granted to me by the supreme creator and I know that everyone of us who is breathing is thankful for the life we have now. As a human there are things that I want to experience and a lot of them seems to be not real or it just in my imagination. People call them fantasy but for me when they truly exist out there without our knowledge, I want to search, explore and ext perience them. Let me give you an example for you to picure those things I'm talking about. One is meeting a vampire, since I watch the movie Twilight my wants to see one became stronger and stronger.
What about you, have you ever dreamed to meet a vampire in your existence?
Meeting a vampire is not related to my title if what we are talking about romantic things to experience but if it is a date with a beautiful vampire then why not haha, that would be romantic for me. Dating someone who's a vampire is a bonus. Then after your date she will suck you, your blood then she will turn your into their kin. I would love to be turned into a vampire but I can't go out in daytime so pass haha.
Not having to witness the daytime is torture lol. Sometimes my mind thinks about these things so please bear with my imagination haha. But I will bet that you like to meet one.
Now let jump in to the romantic part which is related to my title. While I'm turning into an adult I realized things that I should experience things that can't be experience when we are dead already. I don't know if it's present in heaven or in hell so why not do it now while I'm still alive and kicking. I know you can relate through these things so let's move on.
**First in my list would be coffee date**.
Since I'm a lover of coffee I would like to date someone over a coffee so if it's possible my partner is inlove with coffee also because this kind of date with a coffee will not turn into a date if I'm the only one drinking coffee lol. No matter how hard her coffee is I can still consider her as a coffee lover. I'm hoping and praying to have a woman like this but if there's not the still it's okay, I will love her.
Having this kind of date with someone you truly love for the rest of your life brings a different vibe and the atmosphere is very romantic. I witness this kind of scenario over and over again with my grandparents wherein in the morning they will make a coffee then talk about the things they want to tackle. While the sun is about to rise and the birds are start singing, they are outside while holding a cup of coffee. Their smiles are genuine and I want to experience those smiles also with my partner.
**Late night drive and late night talk.**
Being able to experience this one with your partner in life will be special, not because you drive late at night but the strong bond between you and your partner. It's very rare for someone to maintain the patience when it comes to travelling especially when the time is already late. Having someone beside you when you will go home late just hits different. Especially when she's good in singing. You don't have to play a music anymore. You'll just have a duet in acapella with your choice of songs.
Especially when you two talk to each other about your future plans on how you will set your moves. There's nothing better when talking about your goals in life with your soon to be wife. This is kinda romantic for me and I don't know how others see this kind of scenario. My grandparents are the living example when it comes to these things and they are my inspiration in writing this one. They have a habit when we finish our dinner, they will have a coffee then talk about things that are important especially when it comes to our rice field, about the funds and all about it.
**Beach date, camping and star gazing.**
There's nothing more satisfying than to witness the sunrise and the sunset by the beach with your partner. This is my plan when I will have a partner soon. Our destination will be starting in the upper part of the country. Visiting beaches and having a camping outside with the use of a tent. Also I want to do this thing with my family also. Well a date with the both of your partner's family is the best.
Ofcourse the party water in occasions will never be missing, the liquor. Drinking with them will make a good memory especially if one or two of the family are guitarist and vocalist. Then after the late night drink, we will lay down on the sand while looking up the sky searching and pinpointing the constellations we learned in school.
**Author's note**
Oh how great to think about these things while we are young. I hope this mindset of mine will last till I will get old. Until the time when I have my long time partner in life.
Maybe there are things that are not included in here that you want to include in the category of romantic things. You can mention them below.
**Thank you for reading this one again and till next time.**

I Heard A Familiar Voice.
The sense of hearing is one of the greatest gift that was bestowed upon us by the supreme being and I'm glad that I have it. I hope you're grateful also. Some of us didn't have the chance to have it but as we evolve into a digitalize world, this kind of condition is able to address, giving hope for the individuals to hear those sweet and pleasant tones we are hearing everyday.
Yesterday morning when I'm having my breakfast, my cellphone rang nonstop which means I have a call. When I answered the call, what a surprised to hear that voice again. My whole body had a goosebumps, from head to toe. He's saying something but I didn't answer immediately because I know that the voice I'm hearing belongs to the one who's been dead for almost 3 months already. He then called my name, *Mar ni uncle mo datuy ( Mar, this is your uncle).*
From that point my senses came back and there's no way that he's the one on the other side of the phone because in the first place he hates talking through a phone. I just heard a familiar voice and that belongs to my grandfather. My world just stopped for a moment when I heard it. I missed that voice so badly because before he died, we didn't have any long conversation. Maybe my uncle's voice became like that due to some technicallities with our phone signals or in their phone.
He told me that the graduation of his first son is on June 29 and that's tomorrow. He invited us to go there because they have some foods to prepare as a celebration of my cousin. I asked if my cousin got a good grade then he answered that he got 92. I'm happy for him because I tutored that boy hihi. He got a medal and it makes me so proud of him and to myself hihi. When it comes to the rankings he said that if they got an average 90 and above, they have a medal already and the 1st, 2nd traditional ranking is not being use anymore in their school. I don't know in other school but if that's the case then it's good.
So who are we to not go there and celebrate the achievement of my cousin plus there's food to eat haha. I know what you're thinking of me now and stop it haha. It's only natural for a human like me to be happy when there's a celebration. We will attend his graduation tomorrow to congratulate my cousin and also because I missed this kind of scenario wherein finally the students are able to march going to the stage with their parents.
To all who will graduate this year, I bid you my sincere congratulation for you overcome another obstacle in your life towards to your successful career. You should be proud that you survive the all the tasks given to you despite the situation we are in. Again, may God be with you always and full speed ahead.
Going back to what I'm telling you in the first paragraphs of my article, maybe the reason I heard the voice of my grandpa is the strong connection between me and to him is still present. Ofcourse it will never fade away. I was shocked and at the same time happy to hear his voice calling my name because he used to call my name everytime he needs something.
Anyway friends have you ever experience something like this when you've mistakenly recognize the person you're talking to or in real life while walking. There are times that it happens to me while walking especially after school before. I thought that I know the one who's talking at my back but in the end it's just a the same voice with the person I know.
**Author's note**
We may experience something like this in our life and maybe it's a sign of something better. We don't know for sure the reason why it happens but I'm pretty sure that by having the sense of hearing, we can do anything in our capability. We should use it in a better way than to use it to ruin someone's life.
That's for today and I thank you again for reading this article.

Thoughts In A Can.
When the days and nights seems so wild, always remember that in this life it's okay to be angry and sad for a bit but also keep in your mind that you can't stay like that forever. We can show a lot of emotions but those emotions will remind us that we are capable of empathy and compassion as we take this long journey. Most of the time we often show kindness to others because we've been through so many worst scenarios and we know the feeling how to be in that position. It may be a different situation but the happenings are exactly the same to what we felt back then.
As we go on into this journey, filled with rough, right and wrong roads, we should always keep our eyes and mind open because life will not guarantee you that you will achieve everything that you desire so expect that not all your questions have the answers to it. Even those man in the past who took this single life didn't fully know what lies and waiting for us out there. What lies out will surprise us the moment we are already there.
But no matter how life will drive you, always remember that you can call it a success if it you have a pure heart who always chooses to do the right thing even if other people are looking or not. Now matter how small or big it is, still it is considered. So spread your wing and leave your nests, you will win out there as long as you have the heart who can see and act the word called love.
We have so many choices in our life and as for me we should always choose to be grateful no matter what. We may not always win all the battles that's ahead of us. We may not get the support to those people we thought it can help us. We may not be loved and get the love we are longing for so long but despite all of that it's still okay. In another point of view we just have to accept that this life is not like a genie in a kettle who grants wish instantly. With all that being said, we just have to cherish all the things we are blessed with because in the end there's so many things to be thankful for.
I know that I'm not in position to say this especially that I don't know you personally but to the audience who's reading this, **Be Proud Of Yourself**. Because first of all you've been kind in your existence even if sometimes there are many circumstances which made you angry. Second is for forgiving all the people who made you to suffer sadness in a dark corner.
Third is that you see the goodness and the best of other people despite they're lacking of something. Lastly is for doing the right thing even if you know that you'll lose some of the people that surrounds you.
When chasing our dreams we may lose ourselves along the way and it may be hard to find our way back but we shouldn't be downed by it because this kind of events are just a reminder that sometimes we have to see the world from the broken place. Everytime we embrace the goods and bad sides of our life, the room for improvement will be infinite and the bonus will be we learn how to value every minute of our journey. In the end these factors will be the one who will shape us to become the person we want to be.
These are just my thoughts and this article is suppose to be publish yesterday but my mind is too tired to think of a certain topic that's why you may notice in this one that it is completely random ideas.
There are too many thoughts going in and out. When I was walking out my dog yesterday in the afternoon, it seems that I'm too tired to smile na with all the problems in our life. It's endless and it's draining me. I'm talking to my dog yesterday and he just sat down beside me with all his attention into me. What a lovely dog. I wish all humans are like that, having ears willing to listen.
**Author's note**
No matter what thoughts may come into our minds, let it be just thoughts especially the negative ones. Don't let it eat you alive. Eat them and devour them instead, rawrr.
Thank you for reading this one again my friends.
I Used To Hate It But Now It Became My Favorite.
Life is hard so don't be a picky human but your love didn't pick you haha peace. I don't like bitter gourd before when my age was at 5 to 7 years old due to it's bitter taste. *Why so bitter just like her lol*. I used to cry when they will force me to eat it not until I learned how nutritious it is. After learning the benefits of this bitter gourd, I began to be amazed with it and since then I started to liked it. It became one of my favorite so my father planted some beside our house. It produces so much product that's why my mom says to me to sell some to my teachers. They really liked it since they know that it came from our own plant. It's just so easy to have money back then and even now if you have your own plants in your garden.
When you were a kid I'm very sure that you have foods you didn't like and there are foods you want to consume over and over again, yung hindi pagsasawaan but she got bored of me and didn't want to reply anymore lol. I used to have foods that I hate especially the bitter one. I just can't stand the taste of it but there are also food I want to eat repeatedly. Let me share the foods that I didn't like before but it end up to be my favorite now. Now I wonder when she will be mine. Don't mind me haha.
First in my list was already mentioned in my intro so let's jump into the second one just like what she did, jumping to the second man lol.
**It's an egg, contains a hairy one and sometimes it doesn't.**
This food is very popular now and even foreigners are very curious how this one taste like. It is called **Balut** or the egg of Itik or duck. I don't know if it's the appropriate english word for itik but when I googled it, that's the one came up so let it be. But if you know it, you may include it in your comment later.
This is an egg which is the baby duck inside of it is in the developing stage so sometimes it's your bad luck if you can select an egg that contains a partially grown baby duck. This is the reason why I hate this food before because everytime we will eat balut, the duck inside is already big and has bones. My father like it so much so I gave it to him back then. When I learned about the cycle of egg in school, I asked the vendor if how many weeks is the egg already before they cooked it. In that way I can determine whether it has a big or small baby duck. This is the tecnique I'm using everytime I buy.
Now that I'm grown up, this one became my first favorite when it comes to streets foods. Before we go home back then after school, I will asked my father if we can buy one and he don't have any choice so he will buy one for me hihi.
**The third one is the Isaw**, a street food which is made from chicken instestines.
My first encounter with this food is when by father bought some together with the barbeque. Since I'm new to this food back then I didn't take my portion. My father asked my why and I just said that maybe it contains some substance that is not pleasant to my taste. He then insisted that I should try it for me to experience it's taste. Then I tried it, when I chewed it I taste immediately the bitter taste coming from it and I can feel the things stuffed in that one. My father said that maybe they didn't clean it thoroughly.
Since then I didn't eat isaw again but since I used to drink liquor back then with my group of friends. This street food has never been missing in our table. I'm avoiding it and my friends noticed it. I told them my first experienced with that food and they just laugh and said eww. Later on they said to me that I should try it because they know the vendor so it's safe and clean. I tried it with the sauce, vinegar and chopped onions. I'm amazed that the taste is very different from the first one. I liked it and I asked where this vendor is located. Since then I buy Isaw from their stall until now.
These are some of the foods I used to don't like before but after knowing some information about them, my views and ratings to them suddenly changed.
**Author's note**
There are things in our life sometimes we encountered and hate it at first but as the time passes by we learned to like them just like what happened to me. Just like in our love life, you don't know whether your enemy now will be your forever hihi. Everytime I eat these foods now I can still remember the good old days which taught me that we can learn to love the things we hate.
Thank you for reading this article friends and see yah.

Don't Be Too Strict Or You'll Lose Them.
In your existence have you ever experienced this kind of measurements of our parents in being so strict to us when we were kids. A lot of kids has experienced this one including me wherein I've been locked out in our home after school and during the weekends. My childhood was not that happy just like the childhood of free kids now wherein they can do what they want. It's just so sad that I experienced those kind of strictness from my parents. I can't forget those feelings I had before. Crying so hard, begging to my mom to let me out in order to play with the other kids outside. Just remembering those days makes my heart to sting a little.
Being strict has been part of our parents routine in making us safe and to make our life a better one in their view but it seems that they didn't know that doing this kind of measurements to their kids have so many disadvantages also. But we can't blame them for being like that because maybe they are just scared how uncertain life is especially in the outside world. Anything can happen to us and anytime they may lose us. Maybe that's one of the reason why they are doing this kind of thing.
I know that many kids out there are very naugthy or maybe you're one of them before wherein you'll break the rules of your parent's strictness just to play outside and have fun. Ohh memories are keep coming back to me now as I write this part of my article. To be honest I'm one in those kids but I'm just a little naugthy back then and not that very bad one. Behaving like that made me to suffer the consequences in the end haha. Let's talk about the several things where my parents and granparents are strict to.
**Strictness in afternoon nap.**
Back in the old days, this thing will never be in the out in the routine of my guardians and I still remember clearly as the blue sky wherein my grandmother used to put a stick, a bamboo to be precise beside me when I take a nap in the afternoon. They said that we should sleep in the afternoon before in order for us to grow tall and it seems it was effective lol. When I don't take a nap before, she always said that a kumaw will get me and collect my internal organs then they will sell it. So as a kid back then I believe it and took a nap every afternoon.
But boredome visited me so being a kid, my temper can't hold on. So sometimes when I take a nap before, I only sleep for about 2 minutes making my grandma to believe that I'm in deep sleep already but she didn't know that I'm just faking it. She will then go to the cr and that's when I will do the ninja move haha. I will vanish just like a buble. I did that once and I suffered hell for real haha.
If you know the monggo in a bilao then you will kneel. I experienced that one. I hurts so much in my knee and since then I never tried to scape like a ninja anymore. Now that I'm a grown up already, taking a nap has been my buddy haha. I really like to do it especially if I have free time. I do it in school back then after I eat my lunch. I was asleep while my classmates were busy with their phones or talking to each other.
**Strictness when it comes to lovelife**.
My family back then used to say to me that I should study first before entering into a relationship. I followed what they want and now that I'm old enough, this is the time wherein I lose the interest in having a relationship lol. But my family now is insisting repeatedly that it's time for me to find someone to marry and have kids haha. Our worlds just turned upside down. I know that a lot of youths out there can relate to this one.
Books and reviewers has been my girlfriend in my teens back then haha and my medals are my babies. That's the kind of relationship I'm in before but now that I stop studying for the mean time, they want me do what they want haha. Everytime they said that to me I always throw back the things they said to me before and we laugh.
Well it's not that late to enter into a relationship after I achieve all of my goals right. So if you don't have one now, always remind yourself that it's ok to be single. This one is related to my topic yesterday about being late.
**Author's note**
My family became so strict with me back then but that's because it's for my own good. My mother's actions before made me to be introvert who don't want to interact to other people outside my room. But since I studied in town for highschool, I broke from my prison and became a semi introvert wherein I'm not afraid anymore to interact to my fellow humans. Well there's a great lesson I learned from this one and that is being alone is not that bad because when I'm alone in my room now, I feel the peace. I didn't go astray because of this because I understand it and accepted it.
Our family may resort to some strict measurement for us to lead in a right way so please bear in your mind that it's for your own good. But they should put shackles in our neck so that we will not turn our back against them.
That's only for today and thank you for reading.

Being Late Doesn't Mean You're Really Late.
Does the word **late** brings back memories of you when you were still studying or in any occasions in your life? Me? I'm laughing at them now while starting this article of mine. The memories are really coming back to life and I cannot resist myself not to laugh them or smile at them. Well I'm sure that everyone of us here has the experienced being late in any said scenarios. I don't know if there's a human here alive which he or she's not late. There may be some but it's very rare to see someone from our time today.
I can accept it if we are talking about the people before because as they said time was very important to them and even the day of rest day is that they were working just not to let the time go to waste without doing anything. Just like my late granpa, he always woke up early, early than the sun before it rises. He will then cook then later on when the surrounding is a little bit visible to the naked eye, he will then set out to the field. If you live in the province, the grass in this kind of time has those little drops of water or in ilokano we called it "Linnaaw".
He will just go home when the sun is in the middle of the sky and it only means that it's already 12 noon. He don't bring or carry any devices to monitor time. He's using the sun and his shadow. When his shadow is exactly parallell to his body, it's already 12. I learned this kind of technique to him in regards in monitoring the time. He's been like that since he was still a child and upto this year of his life, he maintained that kind of routine which I admired it so much.
Oh man, I really missed him na. I have teary eyes now while my hands are busy typing. At night I browse his pictures here in my phone then later on I'll fall asleep with his pictures still showing on on the screen. When I typed the title of my article for today, he's the one came into my mind first. I can't stop not to reminisced all the good memories back then. Aahh! I'm being emotional here again, my bad. So let's move on to the things about this topic shall we.
There are certain scenarios in our life which we've been late and faced some consequences. Well it cannot be avoided sometimes due to some unexpected reason along our way but as time passes by we can improve our time managing in order to cope up with the things we missed. Let's dive in.
**Being late in school.**
For sure you experienced this one and if you haven't then I salute you haha. I'm not very often late in arriving at school because I hold the key so I have to be early as I can lol. Even if I want to sleep a few more minutes, my grandma will always woke me up back then and will remind me that I have the key so I don't have any choice but to get out of my comfort zone haha. I only get late before if I'm sick or stranded in traffic. Yes you read it right. I'm living here in the province but for heaven's sake, traffic is here too haha. We don't all like this one so let's move on, ***pero nakamove on kana ba? Sabay ganun haha peace.***
**Late in achieving our goals or in being succesful.**
We all really want to achieve our goals in life but sometimes life is making it hard for us to get it and it's just normal friends because if there's no single obstacles in our journey, life will be boring so let those walls get in our way adding more thrill. But don't let it get to you and don't give up easily man. Life is just trying you if you are worthful for the goals you're aiming. That's for the goals in our life.
When it comes to success also, please don't compare yourself to others because each one of us has different clocks and one day our time will come also. We just need to be patience and keep going. Finishing what we started to fight. There are no obstacles we can't overcome if we will just focus on what we want to achieve in life. For the mean time we just need to focus and the rest will follow.
**Late in publishing article here.**
As for me it's always happening to me since my grandpa passed away. I observed that and I hate myself for that because I can't avoid not to be downed everytime I remember that he's gone for good.
Speaking of late, I was late to publish my article just the other day because I assisted my cat to deliver her second baby yey. She's been laboring around 5:30 which is my publish time here. I want to write my cat comes first haha. She just delivered her baby at 10:30 pm. Imagine how long she labored lol. But despite that I published my article and her baby was fine. She has the same color as her older sister. I don't know it's gender yet.
**Author's note**
As my title says, don't think that you're really late if you are late when it comes to different things in our life. Don't rush because rushing will only create a confussion in your plans and you'll miss a lot of things.
All in all I thank you for reading this one again and see yah.

Marry or Marry not.
Let's talk about some adult stuff for this article and I know you can all relate to this one so time to open the curtain. A lot of people here in our place really loves to stick their fingers inside of someone's life. Sticking your fingers in someones's hole maybe destructive in many ways so better keep your fingers out of holes lol. Oops your mind, I can see it turning into a green pasture haha. What I'm saying is that please mind your own business and do not mind other's because you can hurt their feelings if your approach is not to good. They may be sensitive so be sensitive also.
I always mentioned in my articles wherein in our place have so many living cameras and they are good at directing a conclusion in someone's life. Just the other day when we bought some goods in a store here, those people are infront of that store and having an assembly meeting lol but they are just waiting for someone to bully or judge. It's just a bad timing that I'm right on time so thry throw so many words at my back again as if that I'm not present there. Well I don't mind them at all but their ideas also gave me this idea so it's a win for me to have a topic haha.
They just made a gossip about me again and I was just surprised when they told me at the store that if when will be my marriage with the girl here in our place. How playful their mind is to make that story lol. I don't even have a girlfriend so how I will marry someone. Are they ok? haha. I told my mother the gossip I discovered and she's laughing lol. Then later on she asked me about my plan when I hit the right age in the future. Her question was all about in having a family in the future or will not.
I spaced out for awhile and answer her that I will marry someone in the future. She take a deep breath and sighs. She then said that I should just stay single forever till I get old. I was shocked to what she just said to me so I took my chance and explained to her my reasons why I want to marry. She just listened to me and in the end she just agreed with me and said that if that's the case I should marry someone who can give her a lot of grandchildrens haha. Oh my where should I find that woman.
**Here are the reasons I said to counter her opinion to me.**
**First is that I want to have someone in my life which I can considered as my partner for life.**
Each one of us has this kind of feeling wherein we are longing for the pure love coming from someone that's why we tried to find that someone by taking actions such as having girlfriends or boyfriends. In this timeline of our life we determine whether she or he is the one who can give us that pure love that will never rust even if it will rained or dried under the burning sun. Having this kind of person beside us will give us the guarantee of a happy life. I'm sure of it and I saw it through my parents and grandparents. I really need a partner with this kind of features especially when life is trying to turn you upside down.
**Second is that I want to be a parent and teach my children the things I learned in my journey.**
I see from my parents and granparents that being a parent is very difficult especially if you're not too blessed in life but even if that's the case we are in now, still I want to be a parent and will try my courage on how to be a parent. I know that it's not that easy that's why even now I'm preparing myself on how to handle my children in the future. I may encounter many obstacles but I already have a lot of solutions that I gained from my experiences now which I know that it will be helpful when the time comes.
I want to teach them the lessons I learned at a young age and I want them to carved every lessons I gained just like what I am doing now to every lessons I encounter. I want them to fully remember it as a momento of me when I die. I want to be remembered not how rich I am or how kind I am but I want to be remembered on how I put those lessons in real life. It may sound funny to some but that's what I like so let it be.
**Third is that I want to have children, maybe 2 or 4.**
But before I do this kind of thing with my partner I want to be financially stable first. Well who doesn't want to experience the thing which they called heaven lol. Oopps please bear in mind that I want to have kids not because I want the pleasures but I want to explore the things they called cycle of life. Also I want to have kids and raise them as a good human beings considering all the things around them. Because it's our duty to give birth to new generations and raise them as a good one in order for this world to be a better place. We need more good people and it will start in our own kids.
**Author's note**
So those are some of the reasons why I want to be in a married life. There's a lot more reasons to it but let's talk about it next time. I have plans for my future and it's just funny how other people making the scripts for you on how you will live your life in the next years lol. What a toxic way to live a life.
Anyways friends I'm sure your parents asked the same question also so just put them down below. hehe. Thank you for reading this one again friends. See yah.

Poems, oh how lovely they are.
**Me, myself and I.**
*I'm just an ordinary boy, With no flickering eyes nor lovely face. But I'm one of the people on our home, A boy who seats in the darkest corner alone.*
*In everyone's eyes I'm always happy, But inside my room I feel not really. In front of everyone I also talk too loud, But inside my room the words I ought to say is nowhere to be found.*
*Tick tock! Tick tock! A sound coming from my wall clock. A clock that gives me time, A time that has so much worth than a dime.*
*A time outside that runs so fast, But inside my room every second's stops. Outside my room every minute counts, But inside my room, I have so much time that can keep me alive.*
*Everytime I go out of my room I feel miserable, For I'm surrounded by different types of people. But you know, all I did was to look them in the face and smile, Like someone who us close to their life.*
*I show to all my brightest smile I have, But inside my room, it's something where the pain can't hide. In front of everyone I look strong, But inside my room, I don't think I can still hold on.*
*You know, life always comes to an end, Only that time can't tell you when. Cause everything happens in a zoom, And everything is being hidden inside my room.*
This poem was made by me to portray myself inside my room which everybody don't know or they didn't intend to know. A lot of just like me is feeling like this and you may see them laughing outside just to show to all that happiness is still with them. It's hard to show to the crowd how you really feel about this life due to some reasons and one of them is that they can judge you so easily or they may use your vulnerability as a chance to put a bug on you which can ruin your entire life.
It's very difficult but yes, we are holding on to something which is greater than on what's happening inside our rooms and that is our dream. A dream which may not be recognize by many as we are but it's something we are holding on in order to be alive. It may sounds funny to some but believe me, all those people you see working hard out there, their great reason is none other than their dreams. Which is something I really admire because that six letters also pushes me to do my very best and not give up.
Constructing a poem is very rare when it comes to me since I can't think words that it can match their ends but surprisingly I made one and that is something I'm proud about myself. There's no more happier than to see yourself overcoming the walls you can't imagine you can bring down. They always said this one, try and try until you succeed, I really believed in this one that's why I really tried my best to overcome the obstacles hindering me to move forward.
I know you can construct a better poem than mine so don't give up. How's everyone? Are you still holding on despite the ups and downs in our life especially in our crypto space. Oh by the way speaking of cryptocurrency, when I opened my coins.ph awhile ago, something pop up and it's all about their event that will be held in SMX Convention center. That will be in manila so pass haha. It will be tomorrow, June 18. If I remember it correctly, you have to take a picture in their booths and you can win cryptocurrency of your choice. You just have to be coins.ph user to participate in this event.
Oh before I forgot this one, to those who are planting rice here or in area which plants rice, did you plant already or did they plant there already? Because here we didn't yet due to lack of water in our irrigations. The Nia seems to be working fine but our co-farmers didn't touch theair fields yet. The rain here is not everyday so the water level in those water sheds are not that high. This is our case here and I just want to know your case over there. Our stock of unmilled rice will be gone soon haha. So I'm hoping for that 20 pesos per kilo of rice but a senator said it's his first time to hear that and I think he didn't actually believe it's going to happen tsk.
**Author's note**
Thank you for reading this one again friends. Please bear how I constructed my poem because it's not my thing hehe especially if it is in english language. I prefer to make one in Filipino language so I'm planning to make one next time. See yah.

My wallet is in deep trouble.
Surprises are keep coming nonstop and just awhile ago I've been surprised in no time again. It made me not to be able to recognize my wallet lol. I thought that my asset is gone due to the numbers I'm seeing right now. It melted in no time and I don't know when this kind of downfall will recover. No one knows, even some of the big names in crypto nowadays are having breakdown in what's happening. Well that's just normal in this crypto world we're in. Sometimes we became millionaires and sometimes we became broke haha.
A lot of our assets right now is in a deep state due to the bearish move of the market. A lot of people is panicking especially the new ones and I can't blame them because I'm like that too when I'm new. I felt before that my wallet will never recover anymore but the bullish came in and I was very happy.
It's hard to see our assets being burned down but we can use this opportunity to top up our assets especially the coins we believe that it can give us a huge profit later on when the market become bullish again.
My wallet hasn't been recovered from the expenses I had when we had our funeral and now that I see the prices of cryptocurrencies, the pain just doubled lol. As I continue my journey here, with this kind of setup I can earn more bitcoincash due to the low price but it still depends. Speaking of topping up my wallet, I just can't have the power to do that now since I'm broke too in real life haha. I don't have any cash right now in my possesion and it's in my crypto wallet.
I'm totally broke right now and I see it as a bad omen lol. Despite this state of mine, I'm maintaining a positive mindset that I can overcome this one again for I just did it back then. Before I entered into this crypto space, I was a broke undergraduate but because of the articles that I've read here, my candle has been lighted up and it burned for good which it gave me the opportunity to earn big.
Which I used to help my late grandpa and father in funding the rice field. I was very happy that I can help them in my own way. From brokeness, I recovered and aquired little penny to support my family.
It's really difficult when you're broke especially when you're a lazy one but I'm thankful that I'm not haha. When I don't have money back then I made my way into being a construction and other heavy works which create a big opportunity for me to become physically fit. Being used to this kind of jobs is a big advantage because anytime I can work into this field if I want to. Being broke is just a little humps in our road so we just need some power and determination to get over with that humps. No hums we can never overcome if our mind and body is in good shape.
As for my wallet now, I have a total of $90 worth of bitcoincash left in my wallet last month and now it's down to $40 aww. The price of bitcoincash now really makes my mind to hurt even my heart haha. I just can't believe what I'm seeing now but I had to because it's the reality. In this time of bearish market I really need to build up my courage to grind more to gain more bitcoincash but it seems that my life won't allow me because I was absent for 3 days again lol. Anyway I hope you have a good day despite this move of the market.
Well it's not a problem for me that the price of my asset went down since the total amount of bitcoincash is still the same. Also I don't need money now so I will just earn as much as I can before the pump. I just read a post in facebook awhile ago from a trader in binance wherein the next years will be bullish so I have 6 months to fill my wallet. I don't know if it's true but with the happenings now it seems real.
Whether it is true or not we should do all what we can to fill our wallet for us not to regret it later.
How about you friends what is the worth of your hodlings now compared last month? I know that we have people here who hodl a lot of bitcoincash hehe.
Anyway thank you for reading this article of mine again friends and see you next time.
Thank you to my sponsors and avid audience.💚

Street Foods or Fast Foods.
Everytime I hear these words makes me think what my girl want to choose if ever I have a girlfriend in the future when we will date outside but if only lol. I want to know what you girls prefer when it comes to this because what I prefer is to have a date in just a simple place. Why? Because that's who I am, a simple man. I can be fancy when I like but it's just once in a life time haha, just kidding. Only if I have extra money. Ilokano blood is running in my veins so being stingy is just normal haha.
That's what they said about us Ilokanos, we are stingy but the truth us we're not. We are just prioritizing things that are most important than those things that are not necessary. Actually even those people who are not Ilokanos are stingy lol. Going back to the topic I'm discussing, let's not just focus in couples because they are not the only one who eats.
Most people nowadays prefer to eat in fast foods and most of them are ordering through online but to be honest the trending one before was the street foods in the streets. They just became dead when the pandemic hits us. I feel sorry for this small business like them trying to earn money in a decent way.
After school before, a cart was standing by the gate of our school selling a lot of street foods such as fishballs, kikkiam, shanghai, calamares, 1 day old, kwek-kwek and many more. Ofcourse the different flavors of juice can't be present but buko juice was my favorite among them especially the pure one. You can buy them in a cheap price and you're stomach will be full by just eating variety of street foods.
Some rich people are belittling this kind of businesses especially their foods and calling them cheap which is not supposed to be because a lot of them taste better than those in fast foods. Another one is that you can find them just along the streets making it easier for you to buy one and not like those big companies which you have to drive or commute in a long distance just to get one. I think everyone will like these street food if they will try it but some of us are just picky due to some reasons such as the issue on proper hygein. But all I can say is that the owner of these small businesses gone through with the medical test for them to get a business permit.
I liked to buy street foods before but it's different now since we're in pandemic and I'm missing it. They are selling now but I'm still afraid to getting into the crowd to be honest. I love my life and I don't want to be infected with the virus since it's still out there trying to find some people as a host.
Speaking of fast foods, in my entire existence I only tried only three so far, Jollibee, Mang Inasal and Mcdo. I'm not fond of eating and buying foods from these three and I only do it if the occasion is speacial such as passing my grades when I'm still studying, graduation and birthdays. I didn't order some fancy foods and what I just ordered was some spaghetti and sweets such as the sundaes, mc floats and halo-halo.
After exams back then I will get one of those sweets to calm down my dying mind lol. The feeling is just so relaxing when I consume one of those after facing off those nerve wracking questions. Also that's the only foods I can afford back then haha.
So with those two encounter I had before I just hope that my girl in the future will like those street foods and not too often on those in a fast foods. Well let's not base on foods on how we love the person. It's just a food and it will turn into a waste afterwards. I know that some of the couples out there are very often in fast foods but don't be jealous of them and will try to be often also just like them for other people to say that you are sosyal. It's a very toxic mentality. Authentic and genuine love comes from the person exactly and not in foods.
Thank you for reading this one again friends and by the way my favorite street food is the calamares which is made from the body of squid then partnered with vinegar seasoned with a lot of red onions and just a little bit of spiciness.
**How about you friends?**
