Be Wise. Be emotionally healthy!
Doing our best in everything we do is the most important part of life. The journey we have may vary from every individual. But there are certain things we should take into considerations in dealing with it. Most of the time, we deal with people. Whether we are a student, a teacher, a parent, an employer, or an employee, we tend to always interact with one another. And it is good to always have a good relationship with each other.
Though it is not always the case. Yes, we interact with almost all person we meet each day. And from there we create that special bond called friendship. It is a package of feelings shared with a trusted person. But what if that friendship weakens? What if unavoidable circumstances arise, and affect you a lot?
Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional health is not a weakness. It is wisdom. It is the soundness of action or decision with regards to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment. So when you feel that your behavior changes in a not so good way because of a person, you need to be wise. Be wise like a king. Be wise like a ruler. It won't hurt you. Instead, it will help you become emotionally healthy.
Inspire Yourself Despite Trials
A not so perfect poem, but I hope you understand the message...💜💛
Every morning you see
Every single day you witness
Every time you spend
There are days and times that others don't live anymore.
Despite the time you wake up
Instead of being positive, you become negative
Complaining here, hate there
I hope you thought, others are no longer given a chance.
As I write this
I only want one thing
I hope you will pay attention
The life you have, there is a value to think about.
Yes, you are right.
Fight in life is not fair
Someone is blessed, there is a winner
Someone is defeating, and someone is grieving.
But life is a challenge
That you and you are the only one challenging
Give yourself strength
Educate your mind on right and wrong.
Whatever becomes the weakness of your life
I hope you think, you are the one doing this
Make it an inspiration for what you are going through
Challenge yourself to be strong and courageous.
We don't control time
But time can change
Keep fighting for the challenges of life
Be positive in everything.
Whether we earn big or small
The important thing is that we do the right thing
No one stepped on, no one was pitiful
Instead of cooperating and cooperating.
Every hour of rest
Every hour of eye closing
Imagine having a morning person
That God is given so that you will be happy again.
Take the right path
Do what you deserve and should
Be thankful for the life you have
Be happy and contented with what He has given.
Note to Self: Be strong
Courage combined with integrity is the foundation of character. It is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values other than personal gain. In this world full of different personalities, the family where we live in teaches us how to deal with them individually. We need to remain strong despite adversities.
We all belong to a group. We have a circle of friends, colleagues, or workmates. Sometimes during gatherings, we can't control being compared to others. You can't control how other people receive your energy. Anything you say or do gets filtered through the lens of whatever personal thing they are going through at the moment, which is not about you. Just keep doing your thing with as much as integrity and love as possible. Just be yourself and nothing may harm you.
Considering the problems and challenges we have in life, that is quite unavoidable. Just think that you are not the only one who experiences such negativity and hardships. But despite all these, remember to always be strong. Take Courage. If someone is strong enough to bring you down, show them that you are strong enough to get up. Do not fear or be dismayed. Let your heart take courage because we have a powerful God who won't leave us and who won't let us down.
With Integrity, you have nothing to fear!
Do the right thing even if no one is looking. That is integrity. Though we know something about it, some of us doesn't really value its true meaning. And there are those who ignore its worth.
Integrity is a very special word. It is not something you show to others. It is how you behave behind their back. If you belong to a group of friends or colleagues, you share the same spot. You go to different places together, or do activities together. Your friendship through the years stays the same. The same goes for your family. But when something bad happens, or when you get in trouble, this is compromised. When a misunderstanding arises between you and your friends, the integrity we have should still matter. As friends, we should not sacrifice our friendship just to show your good image. If you know what is the truth, tell them. Because for me, it is important that I'd rather be honest than being impressive.
With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. Being honest is a virtue. If you tell the truth in any situations that entails you to do it, you will have peace of mind. You can work harmoniously with other people, be it at home, at school or at work. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt. Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of a person, especially in leadership. So remember, keep your word.
Stay Healthy amidst the pandemic
We are again in the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine Or MECQ. And what does it really mean? It just means that more and more people are being infected with the COVID virus. And the cases are getting higher and higher. That is alarming. But I believe that we just need to be healthy to fight with this unseen battle.
This pandemic has caused many people to suffer a lot. Some offices were closed, and some lost their jobs. While there are some who need to be away from their families to work, especially the front liners. But whether you are staying at home or working outside, the issue here is that you need to stay healthy. Because you cannot see your enemy virus, staying healthy is your best defense against it.
Being healthy means doing these tips to ensure that we can fight the unseen enemy virus;
Practice Basic Hygiene - this is important in order to avoid catching and spreading illness.
Maintain healthy habits -This includes proper exercise, good diets, and enough sleep
Manage your healthcare visits and medication
Don't neglect pre-existing conditions
Engage in street management
Caregiving considerations
Ask for help
Remember that sometimes, we all need help to handle stressful situations. Even though right now, reaching out needs to be virtual in many cases, there are still many resources available.
You need to be contented to be happy...
Being happy is important. Having money is much important. But the question is, Can money buy happiness? Or you just need to be contented to be happy?
Sometimes we tend to do things that make us happy. We go out with friends, eat together, hang out, watch movies, go shopping, travel, and do everything to enjoy.
But of course, we work hard to earn money. We go to work, packed our lunch and have some food so we can be thrifty in a way not to spend too much money. We sometimes overwork to earn much more money. We do this for our family and loved ones. We do it for ourselves. But are we really happy with what we earn?
If we earn a lot, that really makes us happy. Because if we have a lot of money, we can do whatever we want. We can pay our bills on time, buy whatever food we like, and buy lots of things.
But some people say that money can't buy happiness. But when we are able to buy what we want, it makes us happy, right? It is just that, we are not contented, because we sometimes crave for more.
Therefore we can say that "Money can't buy contentment ". Because the truth is, you really do not need a lot of money to be happy. You just need to be contented to be happy.
Try to give HOPE
When we see someone close to us who seemed troubled, sad, or worried about something, what do you usually do? Do you give that person comforting words? Do you give a helping hand? Or you just simply ignore them? Do you try to give them HOPE?
As our brother's keepers, we should be reminded that we are here to help in any way we can. It may not be a financial help, but our support for them thru prayers or our presence will surely be enough. Comforting words may help them, to strengthen them, giving them emotional and spiritual support. By doing this, we are giving the person HOPE. Hope that all problems will end, and it is just there to give us a purpose. After all, we have a GOD that gives us hope, and HE is bigger than our problems. Rainbows come after the rain.
I have three short stories to share with you. In it are the different values which I believe are important for us to know. They may seem to be the same values, but here you may know their differences. If you possess those values, good for you.
And here it goes:
Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, all people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella. That is called FAITH.
When you toss a one-year-old baby in the air, he laughs because he knows his father will catch him. That is called TRUST
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to wake up alive the next morning. But we set an alarm for tomorrow. That is called HOPE.
Mental Health Awareness
You have to take care of yourself first. And Mental health must be our top priority. But what is mental health? We need to understand it first before we can take care of it.
Mental health affects how we think, feel and act. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social being. It also helps us determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is so important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
If you experience mental health problems in your life, what could be affected is your thinking, mood, and behavior. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:
Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse
Family history of mental health problems
These problems are common, but I believe that help is available. That is why mental health awareness is important. People with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely.
Mental health awareness increases the chances of early intervention, which can result in fast recovery. By raising awareness, mental health can now be seen as an illness. We must be informed about it because it can easily happen to anyone, and to even someone close to us. Mental illness awareness may also mean acceptance and love rather than judgment and shame.
The purpose of our life is to be Happy
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. We live in this doing almost anything we could to survive. Every day we go to work doing things to make make a living. We commute to get to our destination and at the end of the day, we go home at night feeling tired. We then wake up and to the same routinary chores to make a living for ourselves and for our family. But then, did you make time for yourself?
Let us remember that in everything we do, we should also put ourselves first. We should make sure that we are happy with what we are doing. Some people do find their inspirations to be happy. It may be their loved ones, their friends, or whatever interest them. Their passion do to things they like makes them motivated. And of course, happy.
There are times when troubles and pains come along the way. we may feel hurt in whatever situation in life, but we should still continue and move on. Let us turn our wounds into wisdom. ANd use this to become a greater person. Everything negative like pressures and challenges is all an opportunity to rise.
Do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as you can. Stay happy!
Stay Joyful
Life is full of its ups and downs. We are oftentimes faced with problems and obstacles in life. Sometimes they almost crushed us to the ground. But then, we should always think positively. Let us stay joyful with good vibes during these hard times. It is important that we overcome our worries and fears of losing. It is important that we become victorious at the end of the day.
Though everyone has their own preferences on how to overcome problems and challenges in life, there are actually techniques that we can follow;
Accept and Let go - This is your life at this time. While it is temporary, accepting it will help you let go of stress, anxiety, and fear. Meditation is one of the best ways to learn and practice acceptance.
Observe and Decide - When you are in a facing a problem or a challenge, take a step away from your feelings to make a plan. While it is important to feel your feelings, you want to be objective as possible when you act.
Face fears and Act - THis is the biggest part, because you cannot take action if you are facing fear. Recognize and define what you fear in the situation. Then act to mitigate your fear.
Practice gratitude - This is the ultimate step. Though we tend to exist in our comfort zones, we should welcome new opportunities. By practicing gratitude, you can reframe your definition of a challenge or problem. You will also be happier in your present moment.
Stay happy and positive and joyful. Learning how to deal with problems and challenges takes time, persistence, and a positive attitude. With the right mindset, we can overcome it every time and grow with the process.
Overcome your challenges in life
We all have our troubles, we all have our pains. Challenges are part of our life. It sometimes makes us weak. It oftentimes makes us weary. But we should also use it to make us stronger, better people. But how do we do that?
Everyone has to face their own challenges. Everyone has their own preferences on how to face a challenge in life. Learning how to overcome these challenges will help you stay centered and remain calm under pressure. And there are few tips and tricks to follow when the going gets tough. You may pick one from these lists:
Make a Plan - Plan ahead and see what struggles have you encountered already. Asses optimal outcomes and anticipate the types of challenges you may face.
KNow you're not alone - Try to reach out to your community and network. There are people who had been through it too. They may give you good advice.
Ask for help - Whether you choose to rely on a loved one, a stranger, a mentor, or a friend, there are people who would want to help you succeeded.
Feel your feelings - This can be in the form of a meditation, or you may write it down. Writing is said to be a therapeutic and cathartic experience. When you feel or share your feelings, you may able to see your situation in a new light.
Accept support
Help others - Helping others will not only benefit them but it can also help you feel happier yourself.
Think Big - You have to open taking risk and always dream and think big.
Positive mindset- What you think becomes your reality. Train your mind to think positively.
Don't give up - Persistence is a huge key to overcome challenges.
Work smart, not hard - Start by working backward. Outline your goal, plan the process on how to get there, perform researches, then take count of y our skills and ideas on how to do it better. Stick to your path and make it work
But as for me, you just need to stay joyful and be positive. Because as they say, "The more you worry, the more you hurry to the cemetery."

Yummy Lasagna
To make a thick, meaty tomato sauce layered with the lasagna pasta and cheese, here is the step by step easy procedure;
Start by makingbthe sauce with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, and a combo of tomato sauce, tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. It will give the sauce a great depth of flavor.

Self-Care is not Selfish
It is said that we live to work. And we work to survive. Whether we belong to a group, to a community, or to a family.we all do something good for ourselves for the members of the group we belong.
Every day we go to work and do what we are told to. We may be asked to finish the task assigned to us accordingly. If we are working in an office, we may do routine jobs like typing, encoding, more paper works, filing, or even running errands. If we are working on a production site, we are required to finish certain amounts of completed artworks in bulk or in pieces. At the end of the day, we go home feeling tired, sometimes exhausted. But we do this for our family, and for ourselves of course.
However, we should not forget to take care of ourselves. Our family needs us, so we must always be good and healthy. Hence, a Self-Care Menu is needed for us. You may want to consider the menu below:
Take deep breaths ........................................5 minutes
Listen to your favorite song........................5 minutes
Mediate for some peace of mind...............10 minutes
Read a book.....................................................10 minutes
Journal out your thoughts............................15 minutes
Get some exercise..........................................30 minutes
Get crafty........................................................30 minutes
Cook a recipe....................................................1 hour
You may also include other things like saying affirmations aloud and writing down the things you are grateful for. You may follow those menus or you can make your own. As long as it results to a better YOU. Take Care!
Wear your Power
There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.
Part of living is the challenges we will face. Sometimes, we never notice that. If you are a student, your studies are your biggest challenge. Your tuition fee, your books, and your everyday expenses will make you think, especially when you do not belong to the middle class or the high-class society. And finishing your studies with a diploma would be your goal. But to a parent, it will be different. Because your greatest challenge as a parent would be "how will your kids finished studies?" When you are a single parent, this would be difficult to face alone. But if you have the courage to face it, nothing will be impossible. You just have to do your part. Work hard, budget what you have, and pray all the time. Anyway, we have a GOD who sees everything we do. And I believe HE will not abandon us. HE sees our hearts, and with prayer, we can make it through.
If we are troubled and you think you cannot avoid it, think again. Problems are there to mold us into a stronger person. Just take courage and never lose hope. Remember that there is always a rainbow after the rain. Just wear your POWER! The power to think positively and the power of prayer. It will surely work!
It's a Mask to wear it during sports activities
In this time of pandemic, everyone has been required to stay home if necessary. AND ALSO, WE HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO WEAR MASK AT ALL TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE GOING OUT OF THE HOUSE. It is a must to wear a mask, and it is the mask that matters now.
There has been a different kind of mask. First We have the surgical mask which is cheaper and the most common. It is fluid resistance and provides the wearer protection against droplets and splashes and from respiratory emission. Second, We have the N95 which reduces the wearer's exposure to particles whether small or large droplets; Third is the cloth mask which is not fluid-resistant, and the fourth is the so called ReWear Mask which is also fluid resistance and provides the wearer protection against droplets, splashes and from respiratory emission. It is breathable but may get warm.
But these masks cannot be worn during sports activities. However, I was amazed by the mask made by Under Armor. It is a mask that can be worn during sports activities. It may be expensive, but the design is awesome. It is made for athletes with better airflow, a cool feel, a comfortable fit, and rain rolls right off it. Each layer is specified below:
1st layer - Spacer Fabric; It's light with air pockets to create a structure so it can stay off your mouth and nose for better airflow.
2nd layer - Open-Cell Foam; The breathable middle layer lets air through but makes it hard for moisture and sweat to pass
3rd layer- Chill; This fabric actually feels cool against your skin, stretches, and has anti-microbial treatment.
You are important
We all have an important role in life. Whether you are a mother, a daughter, a spouse, a granddaughter, an Aunt, a partner, or a friend, you matter a lot. We often forget our role, but whatever may that be, we should always remember that we contribute the whole puzzle of a person's life. And that someone may be waiting for you right now as her/his only hope.
There are many things that we can do for another. It is also said that we are our brother's keepers. If a friend called you and ask you to do something, don't hesitate to go to him for help. It may be a helping hand or financial help maybe. What is important is your presence. You may never tell what will happen. It may be your last time to spend together. You can never tell. But what is for sure is that you made it to go to him/her. And that is enough.
Just remember that life is short. And the journey may seem challenging. But your importance really matters. The most important thing may easily become lost, so you better play your part well. The precious things in our life like our Family, Friends, Love ones, our Health, and our career is important as we are. Let us make the most of it!
Express Yourself
Have you ever had second thoughts when you want to do something?
We are all created special. Our physical attributes came from our parents, but our attitude grows as we grow. The foundation of our attitude and behavior is formed is built in the family, and it is dependent on our environment. If for example, we live in a close community where we don't usually go out, we tend to be shy and timid.
When we are shy, we lack the confidence to do many things. We may fear many people or situations. People who are shy feel low self-esteem and fear judgment. But how do we overcome this? Well, we just need to express ourselves.
It is important to show others who er are. It is when we would know who are true friends are. If we express ourselves, we tend to see many social opportunities we can have. This will, in turn, help build our social skills.
The environmental forces may really affect our behavior. But we should not lose courage. Expressing oneself is good for you and to the people behind you. If we express ourselves more often, we can address social challenges ahead of us and boost social confidence. It is also one form of loving yourself.
The Art of Letting Go
Who says that letting go is an art? Have you ever experienced one?
You are a strong person if you happen to move on from a hurtful breakup with a smile. A strong person is not the one who doesn't cry. A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment and then picks up the sword and fights again. But what if you don't have the courage to pick it up and fight?
Then comes yourself. Picking up the pieces again. The art of letting go involves processes that only you can do. It is a part of your growth. It means to leave things the way they are and move forward. You just need to realize that life never stops and comes to a halt. It may be difficult to do so, but life tells us that we must go on. You cannot think about the future, or new happenings in life if you continue to cling to the past.
Saying goodbye doesn't mean you don't love the person anymore. The feeling may still be there, but it is healthy to move on and let go. To forgive and forget is a gift to yourself. And it does good things too. It makes the heart happy again.
A Sovereign Island - Singapore
Visiting Singapore has been my dream. And it is actually my first trip outside the country. It has been a one-year planning trip, and it was indeed a success.
Singapore is a sovereign island city-state in maritime Southeast Asia. It was indeed a rich country. The country is clean and the people are disciplined. The airport is just like a mall. Buses are cool and neat. They have specific areas for picking up people as well as areas where they should stop the bus. Their train system is quite impressive. But their train stations are long, and the tunnels are clean and some are narrow. You need to be familiar with their transportation modes if you do not have your own car to go to different places to visit.
In my stay there, I was able to see the Marina Bay Sands. The view is beautiful. There are cafes nearby so you can have a sip of coffee while having your view of the bay. Another point of interest is the Gardens by the Bay. The walk may be long and the climb may be stiff, but it's worth it. When you reach the bridge, you may look at the gardens down and it's so thrilling. I had really fun.
I was also able to visit the Sentosa and the Merlion. It was fantastic. Many tourist are there to have picture taking. The hotels are amazing. I expect to stay there is expensive too.
The final tour we had was at Universal Studios. It was a breathtaking experience. The rides and the souvenirs are awesome. I enjoyed the short film shows and the cartoon characters are seems real. It was fun and engaging also. It was truly a memorable visit. I can't wait to have more adventures out of town.
For the First Time...
I love teaching children. I can babysit and I can also take good care of the. But never had I imagine myself into a teaching class. But I never hesitated to try.
I do have an idea of doing online selling. I can see it on social media. But teaching online was really new to me. Here, you are selling your skills. You are selling your knowledge of learning the language. But because of this pandemic situation, I decided to have it a try.
For the first time, I was able to teach English online. My students were from another country, and I saw their willingness to learn English. They even pay for it. And I find it nice.
Teaching children is said to be the hardest. You have to be patient. You need to smile in front of them. You need to feel how to be a kid so you would understand them. Yes, it is hard at first, but eventually, you will get used to it. It is fun anyway. Fulfillment of the job will come too. The pay is worth it also. And anyone can try. There is no harm in trying. As long as you want it, you can do it.
Fairy Tales
Do fairies exist?
When I was young, I always watch fairy tale movies. The magic it has and the stories involving fairies and magic makes my heart flutter. It's just like a couple of butterflies fluttered around the garden. It really makes my heart beats fast.
Fairy tales like Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping beauty, Beauty and the Beast and the like are just a few of my favorites. The Fairy Godmothers and their magical world is what I really admire. Not to mention the Prince who rescues them in the end for a happily ever after part. I am still longing for my prince charming until now.
As I grow old, I still think of the fact that I also wanted to have a Fairy God Mother. Or be a friend to any fairies. I wanted to see their homes and how they live. I want to experience a world of magic. A world where you can have anything you would want in just a click of a magic wand. To have any cars you like, to eat any food you crave, and to spend lots of money for shopping. And I think Fairies can help me because if they truly exist, I would love to see one.
Rejection
Have you ever been rejected?
There are times when we encounter certain situations in life that make us lose hope. When problems and troubles come, we use to go to our family and friends to ask for help. But most often, it is our friends that we ask for a helping hand. But when they are busy and don't want to help, we feel rejected. But when do we really feel rejection? Have you ever been rejected by those closest to you?
When we feel the worst, and we wanted comfort from our loved ones, we go to them and tell them the whole story. But when we feel that they are not even listening, we argue, we fight. And that is when we feel being rejected. Then we realize that the battle we are going through is on us, alone. We may be saddened by this situation, but we should always move on. There is no one who could really help us but our God and ourselves. In the end, it becomes our own battle. A battle where we should always focus on winning, and not losing.
And as many wise men say, a clear rejection is better than a fake promise. We fear rejection because we want acceptance. Just always think that we are worthy of love and we should not die of rejection. Remember that every time we thought that we are being rejected for something, think of it positively. Just think that we are being redirected to something better.
Sweety Pie
Good day! I'm Louise, a sweet lover. I would love to eat cakes and chocolates every day. I feel happy eating any sweets. However, my love for sweets makes me nervous. I want it, but I also want to be healthy. Anyway, that's me, your sweety pie Louise.
Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted a taste of something sweet. It may be chocolate, and ice cream, cakes, marshmallows, and anything with a sweet taste. If ever I find a new bakeshop offering something adorable to eat, especially if it is something sweet, I never fail to try it. It always makes me happy to see cakes of any sort.
I also like sweet people. Those who are friendly and thoughtful and kind. A person who is sincere and trustworthy. If you happen to be that kind, thank you for introducing yourself to me. Please subscribe to my account and let us share experiences together. I will be most happy to converse.
Heroes at Home
Have you ever wondered why Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Gregorio Del Pilar, and many to mention are called heroes? It is because they are admired for what they have done for the country. They have shown traits and ideals that made us free from Spaniards and those others who want to rule us Filipinos.
But do you know that there are also called Heroes at Home? These are people that always give their best in order to provide the best atmosphere at home. These Heroes at Home may include our moms, our dad, our grandfather or grandmother, Yaya, our sister, or anyone who does all kinds of household chores and the like. But as for me, My mom is my hero at home.
My mom is an employee in the morning and a part-time tutor in the evening. She manages to cook for us upon coming from work. She prepares for the evening tutor, she fixes things at home, sweeping the floors and washing dishes. If she has free time, the laundry is her next move. She does this every day, and she still manages to take care of us her children. Her love for us gives a sense of fulfillment because she earns a living for us to survive. She is our role model. She is our modern hero at home. A truly amazing Mom!
How about you? Who is your modern-day hero? Please don't forget to subscribe and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
F.L.Y.
First Love Yourself
There are many things in life that need priorities. Food, shelter, medicine, and those included in the hierarchy of needs are important. But as we grow and grow older, we oftentimes think of what really matters. Then here comes 'self'. The 'self' who tells you that he/she needs also to be prioritized.
If You Want to Soar In Life, You Must Learn To F.L.Y
This tells us that you must learn to simply First Love Yourself (F.L.Y.) and by soar high. Many people ignore oneself to please others, care for someone else's needs, or even give everything for other's sake. But to love others heartily, you must first love yourself. But how do you actually do that?
We do have flaws and weaknesses. Sometimes it crushes us to the ground. But this shouldn't be ignored. It should be accepted so that you would know how to overcome it. By doing so, you will eventually love yourself, despite the mistakes and the various weaknesses you have in your life. Give yourself enough respect to walking away from someone who doesn't see your worth. Because in that way, you will truly love yourself more, and that is the best love we could have.
Jinkee's Bicycles: A Luxury or A Necessity?
To some people, bicycles are much needed nowadays. The transportation problem in these times of pandemic makes us realize that. However, not many of us can afford to buy one. One is struggling to work so they can buy food for their stomach. While others were lucky enough to just buy many things, including a bicycle, just for luxury. There are some who see the need of having a bicycle a luxury. WOW!
My visit to social media wowed me upon seeing Jinkee Pacquiao's Hermes Bicycle. It is a signature brand couple bicycle bought from Paris. It is reported that Hermes bike collection costs about $11,000 or around 545,000 pesos. Since Jinkee is known to own several luxury items bought from some of the biggest fashion stores in the world, this is not impossible for her. While others see it as a necessity, she might just see it as a luxury. But who are we to judge? It's her money anyway.
To those who don't know her yet, Jinkee is the wife of boxing champ and Senator Manny Pacquiao. She also previously served as the Vice Governor of Saranggani Province. She is truly lucky indeed.

Safe Travels Along the Metro
How do you get to your destination?
Every day, we go to different places. Near or far, we make sure to arrive safe and sound. Commuters like me use different modes of transportation. And I always ride trains when commuting along Metro Manila. But how do you really know that you are safe when you travel?
Protection is better than cure. As the government always reminds us to wear a mask, bring alcohol and sanitize, we must also consider the transportation we use to travel. And most people in the Metro travels by train to avoid traffic. But do you know that aside from people, tickets are now being quarantined?
Quarantined Tickets
Considering the present pandemic situations, the operations of the Railway System in the Philippines specifically LRT Line 2 make sure that all of its passengers will have safe travels along the lines. As I have read in the news, they "Quarantine Tickets" before it is used by passengers. And how do they do it? Here is how they do proactive measures:
Vending machines are used by passengers who wish to buy tickets
The ticket sellers will wear gloves and face shields when assisting first-time passengers or users of the vending machine
The single journey tickets will be disinfected at the end of the day upon collection
The tickets will be isolated and quarantined for 72 hours before circulation
Your Safety Is Of Utmost Concern
Despite safety issues being spread about in the country, consider yourself safe when riding the LRT Line 2 Trains. They quarantined tickets and use safety measures to deliver 100 % customer satisfaction. So what are you waiting for? Ride the trains now for faster and safer travel!

Freedom From Fear
Have you ever been afraid all your life?
There are some things that chain a person from that so-called FEAR. It may be fear from terror, horror, panic, physical danger, or loss of someone dear to us. Other people may associate it with a phobia, but that would be a different thing. Fear is an unpleasant emotion that makes a person afraid. It makes you feel in danger. It tends to make you worry so much, causing real anxiety.
Have you ever been afraid all your life? Well for me, it isn't normal. Freedom from fear, worry, and anxiety can be achieved. Nowadays, there are various practices that could help a person overcome fear.
How do we overcome fear?
Biblically speaking, a verse can be read " The fear of the Lord is our strength". But this is not our case, because the fear we are dealing with is the one causing our troubles. We have to live our lives in such a blissful way. That is why we need to help ourselves. But how do we actually overcome fear? One best way I know is to conquer it with God's help. We need to face what worries us and then deal with it. If we cannot do it alone, let our family or friends help us. It is our own self that will fight that fear. And whatever it may be, it will surely disappear. Manage it, and gradually, that thing you fear will vanish.
