Last Monday, my neighbor was shouting outside informing us that there is giving of "Ayuda" relief goods outside. I was like "Yes! Monday blessings!".

I went outside to receive mine but the people from the barangay told us that we'll be going to claim it on Wednesday, 8 to 11 in the morning. They give us a stub ticket to be able to receive the relief. They said it is 5-kilo rice and has a good quality.

To someone like me who is on a tight budget and gets stressed about my monthly bills, the relief is a big help.

So earlier today, I and my friend neighbor went to the said venue at 9 o'clock. We thought we'll just gonna pick it up once we show our stub just like the process last year but when we arrived, long queues awaited (outside the school where their operation was held). We saw our other neighbor who went 8 AM there yet still waiting.

We waited for almost an hour to get inside and when it was our turn to enter the gate they close it again because they said the seats are full. Oh men! (Facepalm)

After 15 minutes, the martial let us in, and another queue is waiting. We saw a vendor there that sells ballpen and tells us to buy because they will not lend us there. We don't have a choice so yeah we get one.

The process here was fast. We just write our name in their list form and they collect our stub cause they put a stamp on it, meaning we're qualified to receive the relief. Oh! They also ask if it's our first time to receive because some come back multiple times. Then we proceed to the waiting queue again haha but on the chairs. It's second to the last step and we waited for almost 2 hours.

The martial saw me taking pictures and he forbid me. I get irritated because what's wrong with it? Why scared to be captured? Besides this is public operations and I don't have bad intentions.

I stopped for his peace of mind but suddenly I get shock when he talk behind my back when I'm browsing my gallery, "Pati ba naman ballpen kinuhaan mo" "Even the ball pen you took a picture?"

I was like "Ehhhh? What's wrong with this man?!" I ignore him and close my phone.

I turn to my friend and he said he was hungry cause he didn't eat breakfast before we left. He looks dying and can't smile lol

We were so haggard earlier haha. Yeah! I still took pictures when martial wasn't around.

And finally, they started to distribute it.

Last step! We give the stub with a stamp to the staff.

Finally, after more than 3 hours of waiting, we received the relief rice. My friend who was dying earlier can now smile haha. Thanks, Mayor!

This is how my Wednesday went. I wasn't able to roam here after we got home because I'm sleepy and tired. I rest and awake late that's why I'm still up here in the middle of the night hehe so I'll just catch up with your articles now.
