Life of a young adult I have no savings. I have no investment. Yet I have lots of things in my mind which I wanted to fulfill for my family. I have a lot things which I wanted to buy. I want to travel to many places. I have an ambition and goal which seems difficult to reach at the moment. I am thinking of going abroad in order to provide my family needs. I sustain my youngest brother's studies. I have a huge debt to my family for buying my new laptop. Our house is not as…

Passion Vs Practicality **"What do you want to be when you grow up?"** This question has been asked to almost all kids who are just starting to know themselves and the things that they want. It was such a very common question that gives joy and happiness to those who are listening and makes those who answer wonder about the things they actually wanted to achieve. I came from a family who doesn't expect much from me because my parents are like that. **"What's important is you…

I don't matter As much as I'd love to be part of someone's life, I'm not needed. When I was a child I'm invisible, like a wall flower who doesn't fit in. I'm not the type to get noticed. I like staying at the back simply because I am an average person. Not the type of student who will get noticed by the teachers and my classmates. I am seen when we are to firm a line since I'm the shortest. I'm thin, short, tan skinned and I don't recite that much, not unless my teacher…

Kids contribute in healing Today is Saturday which is supposed to be a rest day, but sadly I have a pike of work to finish up. I worked from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. non stop. I woke up at 8 a.m., took a bath and eat my late breakfast at 9:30. I opened my laptop, played some music before I ate my breakfast. I had a little chat with my family, especially my mom then I washed the plates. After eating breakfast I started working and reaching out to people non stop. As a matter of…

I still remember how everything was so new to me and how I was able to meet new friends and amazing people who has the same passion like me which is writing! Isn't it awesome? I found the platform that perfectly fits me. I can write about anything as long as it has relevance. I also have my journey written here. From enthusiastically starting to write, up until…

Loving the unlovable Isn't it amazing how God created people to fall in love all over again? It might be falling in love with a person, animal, passion, material thing or even your own self. God is indeed awesome and His miracles are always ever true. I admit that I myself is unlovable sometimes. To the point that I even hate myself for being me and asking *"Why am I like this?" "Why did I do it?" "When can I get things right?"* I became perfectionist. I wanted everything to…

Color Coding Ipon Challenge I follow Chinkee Tan's Facebook page. If you don't know him, you can search more about him on Google or Facebook. He always posts about money matters such as how to handle money, how to save up money, how to invest, where to invest and all the other things about money. He is also a motivational speaker. As you all know, I was unable to save any amount from my two previous jobs, and so I plan to start saving up with my third job. I have to start…

Knowing myself better The more I get to explore different things which includes different jobs, the more I get to see who I am. The more I know who I am and the things that I can and can't do. I am also seeing my distinct character traits as well as how I am able to pull of the things that needs to be done. I've been to 3 different jobs and here are the things I noticed about myself. **I complain a lot in the beginning.** Whatever job I've had, I always complain in the…

Slow internet connection Internet is what keeps most things going. Without it, it's impossible to perform most duties especially during pandemic. Nothing worth having comes easy. Everything requires effort and hard work. Philippines is one of the countries who has slow internet connection. That has been proven and tested. We pay higher for a faster bandwidth when in fact our internet connection is not even worth the price. No matter what telecom company you use, it still the…

Yogurt, Oreo and Cream-O My family love pets. My parents said that we have dogs when we were still in the province. They like taking care of pets especially cats and dogs. As I was growing up, I never thought of having a pet since it's a responsibility. A pet has to be taken care of just like how I take care of myself and I know that I can't do it. My first dog was when I was in elementary. I thought that my family will like it but they gave the dog away. The reason is…

It's okay Life has never been the same for me. From my childhood until now, I know that I still have a lot to learn and do but I'm growing and learning little by little. I'm starting to grow into the better version of myself everyday. From my battle with good health, to the battle with how I handle and manage myself and my thoughts, upto building myself into an independent and strong woman that I am now today, upto experiencing the biggest heartbreak by losing the love of my…

It's the time of the month I'm lying down as I write this. I feel tired and sore all over my body. I feel like my insides are twisted and I don't feel hungry. It's difficult for me to focus and I feel like the blood is gushing out of me. I just want to lie down and close my eyes since the pain keeps me awake. I have a pending job to finish but my body won't cooperate. I just needed a break even just for a few minutes. When it's the time of the month I always look pale, I…

Breach of Contract I've been feeling unwell and thinking of this day, and now it has come. The anxiety of waiting and has now reached its peak. I know that this day will come and I now have lots of questions about how will I be able to get though this. With every decision I make, I always consider the people around me. I don't do things just for myself but I make sure that my family will benefit from it as well. After resigning from my second job to pursue my passion which…

Guilt free rest I watched a TikTok video uploaded in Facebook about a woman who can't say no to everyone before. Not until she had a near death experience where her exhaustion led her right lung to collapse which caused her to have a rehab and learn how to breathe on her own again. I'm not like her. When I want something, I think of the ways on how I can have it. When I don't like to do something which I know is beyond my principles, I make sure that I don't bend my…

Thoughts Do you know the feeling when you've waited for something for so long and yet when you have received it, you're now unhappy? I don't know but that's what I've been feeling lately. I still sleep late and wake up way too early that I still feel sleepy. I still cry because I miss my father so much. It's been two months since he left this world but the pain and longing is still the same. I miss him so much. I can't even ask him anymore of the question, "are you happy?".…

The Christmas Season This is the time of the year where most families are united. Shopping gifts, exchange gifts, gift giving, Noche Buena, Christmas Spirit and a lot more are seen and felt every where as well as the cold breeze of air which makes you want to lie down on your bed for a longer period of time. I've been busy lately with all the debts, new job, preparations and all that. It's been a busy ber months for me. I also have lots of stuff which I have to attend to and…

Grades Grades are just numbers, but somehow, it is what make the teachers keep their jobs. If there are no students, there are no teachers. But it doesn't give the parents the license to say what they want to say in the heights of their emotion due to the things about which are unfavorable. It's been a tiring day for me. I had to go to school, go to the market and most importantly, I have to deal with a student who has never shown himself and asks for his grade to be…
