The responsibilities of being the firstborn child
February 16, 2022
Hello everyone, I've been not so active yesterday on both platforms but I'm productive on my school works. I finish answering all the units on module 1 and now I'm on module 2 unit 4 already.
I wake up early as usual, and when my baby sleeps again I am not already sleepy so I spend this morning visiting my noise and reading and commenting on articles here. I have so many articles to read in my notifications, need to clear it again.
How many siblings do you have? What is your birth order among your siblings?
Before, when people asked me my birth order among my siblings I always answered them I am the first child, well this is partly true since on my mother's side we are three siblings and I am the oldest but when you include the siblings I have on my father's first wife I become in the middle or third child since I have two older half-sisters. Why did I answer before that I am the first child? Because I didn't grow up with them, since they are in the province and I am only four years old when we moved here to Manila. But things changed when my mother died, my older sister went here to take care of us, we're close even though we don't have the same mother since my mother treated them well and loved them before. Our neighbours, as well as my friend, are shocked when they saw her and know that she was my older sister, they thought I'm the first child.
But still, I considered myself as the first child to my two younger sisters, pureblood related sisters wherein we have the same mom and dad.
When I was young, I didn't know the big responsibilities that I will be going to face now, I'm into playing games with my friends but when I grew up things changed and I realized how important my role is.
They are my whole sisters, they are such young girls before but now they have all grown up. Second to me is turning 16 years old next month and the youngest is 12 years old. We all look young here haha.
Look, my sister will going to be taller than me. She's the one I mentioned before who loves cats and didn't want to go outside, she prefers to stay home and her friends just visit her in the house. She is also a very shy girl and doesn't want to upload her pretty selfies on her FB haha. Before a barely talk with us but now we're very close. Well, she and our youngest sometimes fight. They are like cats and dogs. She's active at their church now with her friends.
And this is our youngest, she's a bit maldita but now that she's growing I can say that she's becoming a kind girl. Unlike her ate, she loves going outside and playing with her friends but now she can't go outside because of pandemics.
Being a firstborn child...
It isn't easy.
**You need to be strong for them**. When our mother died, I think I failed this one because they saw me break down even though I tried to be strong in front of them. I still comfort them, they are so young when our mother died. Aside from my father, I should give make them strong too. I promise my mother to take care of them and give them a good life.
**You need to be a role model.** In everything I did in school I make sure I do my best. I always make sure not to have failing grades and study hard so that my sisters will influence me to study hard also, I need to serve as their inspiration. I make sure also that I am acting right and have good manners.
**You need to make sure they will have a good future.** Since I am the firstborn child, I need to study hard and finish college so that I will have good work. By this, I can give them a better future. Although, I am exhausted and stressed in doing school works, quitting never crossed my mind. I always think that I am the firstborn child so I can't afford to stop.
**You need to make sure they do good in their studies.** This one is hard especially I am also a student and have tasks to accomplish but I don't want them to have failing grades so I check them out. And these few days, I received a message from my youngest sister's teachers saying she has pending modules a lot. I told her to do her pending activities and I also help her answer. Sometimes I am the one who attends her class in the messenger since they wake up late hays. Our father doesn't know about what's their status in their studies so I am the one who's stressed out so much when they have blank grades and I am the one coordinating with their teachers on what are the things they need to have grades. Good thing their teachers are kind and just required them to pass their missing modules.
**You need to make sure they are in good condition.** Even though I am not living with them I always make sure they have good to eat or if they need something, I messaged them always.
*Those are some of the responsibilities of being a firstborn child. It isn't easy but you need to do it for the sake of your siblings because you want to give them a better future. It doesn't matter if I have my own family now, my responsibilities to them won't change. When I graduate soon and find a job, I'll help my father send them to a good school. All I want is to give them a good life, I want them to achieve what they want in life.*
***And of course, I am not only doing these because it's my responsibility but because I love them and want them to be the best version of their lives.***
*To all firstborn children out there, fight and don't give up especially in life. Someday we will be able to see the fruits of the hardships we went through.*
**I salute all of you and I just want to say I'm proud of you!**
Valentine's Day: my heart is filled with joy
February 14, 2022
What's up? Everyone, happy heart's day to all of you. How do you spend this day? I hope you fulfill your heart full of love and happiness. Valentine's day isn't only for couples, it's for all. We can celebrate it with our families and friends.
**This month, February is the month of love but let's spread the love even though it's not February. Today, we're celebrating Valentine's day. Chocolates, stuffed toys, flowers, and other romantic things are everywhere.**
I mentioned in my post in noise that my partner and I will be going to Makati to get a PSA birth certificate since our university won't allow us to pass NSO, an old version of the birth certificate. I need this for my graduation application. Unfortunately, when we arrived there the staff told us if we have an appointment and I'm confused and shocked about what they are asking. I just said none, and they said I need to register for an appointment, they don't accommodate walk-in. They told us what to do and give us the website where we can register and get an appointment.
I'm quite sad because I need that document and the deadline for submission is on February 24, it's quite near already.
My partner told me if I want to go to the mall so that our day won't be wasted and that's one of our plans for today. The mega mall is quite far from where we were so my partner told me to just take a taxi.
We arrived at the megamall by 2 pm. The decorations are fascinating, it's mixed of Valentine's stuff and Chinese new year. As expected there are lots of people families, a group of friends, a couple and a solo person, they are the different people you will see there.
This artificial tree has fruit and those are lanterns hehe kidding aside. I love the decorations when you go inside the mall. Although there are lots of people taking pictures, we managed to take pictures too. There's a long line so we need to take a quick and few pictures only cause we're shy hehe. So this is what we have.
Since we're year of the tiger, here's a cute little tiger smiling with us.
My partner and I plan to sing in the KTV there and also play in the tom's world but before that, we eat first in the food court since our tummies are roaring already.
And the food, my partner choose chicken barbecue and ordered extra rice while I ordered grilled squid but I'm quite disappointed with the squid since it doesn't grill well, It tastes and looks like it is just half cooked. So I give it to my partner and in exchange, he gave me some chicken hehe. He partnered his food with coke while I just had water. We were both full when we went outside the food court and go to the tom's world.
Many people are playing there and the space is quite small so we end up going outside plus the KTV there is full. We don't want to wait for an hour so we decided to go to the other mall which is nearby.
We saw a blue magic store and I asked him if we can go inside cause I just want to look around. There are many stuffed toys there and I love the pig design hehe. But I'm not fond of stuffed toys so we didn't stay long there.
My partner and I play some games there and what I like the most is this one basketball. We just reached stage 3 only cause he keeps on missing the ball char, I am the one who scored less XD.
There's a vacant room for KTV so we purchased some tokens and list a song. When we finish we give it to the staff and he assisted us to the room and enter our songs.
We just selected 5 songs since we don't want to stay long there, also we're thinking about our baby. It's already a quarter to 4 o'clock so we didn't finish the last song.
When we are about to go outside the mall, there's a store of chocolates there and the prices are low so I buy them for my sisters and us. These two donuts and chocolate are for my sisters and we give them to them before we go home.
My partner also gave me chocolates. The first one was his advance gift to me last night and the other one which is to let one was bought a while ago.
*This day may be tiring but it's worth it. We spent it well and I'm very happy because it's our first time celebrating valentine's day outside, I mean before we can't celebrate it since we're in a secret relationship but that was in the past already, what matters is the present.*
Now I will bid my goodbye to you guys, we'll catch up tomorrow air later when I woke up cause my eyes want to close already and my body wants to lie down now. Need to rest, my feet are aching also because of walking a while ago.
*I wish you a happy valentine's day! Love lots.*

Hello guys, how are you? In case this doesn't appear in your notif, here's my recent article

Thank you :)
What's the secret:Grandma told me...
February 12, 2022

I woke up early because my best friend Ally texted me to accompany her to the mall as she want to buy a gift for her boyfriend, the next day is the day every couple are waiting. And yes you guess it right, it's valentines day. I'm sure some girls are expecting gifts from their partners, perhaps waiting for a flower, chocolates and other stuff that they find romantic. But count me out, I don't expect one from John, my boyfriend.
*Beep beep beep...*..
My phone rang and it is Ally so I answered it immediately.
*" Hey, pretty girl! Be ready, I'll be there before 9 am. Bye"*
*"Okay bye, and don't call me that way haha you're annoying"*
*"Well, you're pretty. John would regret if he cheats on you"*
*"Why bring up that topic?"*
*"Bye Thea! See you in a bit"*
Okay? She's weird. Well, Ally is always weird haha. Kidding!
I eat breakfast and prepare myself as she said she'll be here in a bit. I just wear jeans, a plain black t-shirt and sneakers. I don't bother wearing makeup, just looting and powder. I'm not going on a date though. I'm fully prepared when a doorbell rang, that's Ally for sure.
We greeted each other and waited for a taxi. While we're at the mall we go to the blue magic store since she said she wants to give a cute stuff toy to his boyfriend.
*"I'm excited about the gift my boyfriend will give me!" Ally said with an excited tone.*
*"Whatever"* I just said. She told me why I'm so bitter even though I'm not single. Well, I'm not bitter and I'm in a relationship for two years. It's just that John didn't give me any gifts nor did we celebrate Valentine together and I'm used to that. He's always busy with his training, he's a basketball player at our university, a famous one.
Even though I'm sure he won't give me a gift this Valentine, I still bought one for him.
Ally and I go to the food court since it is almost lunch. I'm the one who ordered our food and when I come back to our table I notice Ally and she was upset.
*"Hey, you okay?"* She said yes but her eyes avoided mine. Somethings wrong I can sense it. But I let it slide, don't want to force her to say her problem.
I told Ally that I will go to the comfort room. When I was about to enter a girl bumped into my shoulder, It seems that she intentionally do it.
*"Oh, sorry,"* she said with a sarcastic tone and walk away. Okay, what's her problem?
When I was about to go back to our table I saw a familiar built body, I know him even if he's not facing me. What is he doing here? I told in my mind. And suddenly my heart beats fast but it's not for excitement or romantic thing, it pumps faster and the thing I know it tears are falling while looking at the two persons. They seem very sweet to each other, perhaps they having a date. But why should they go on a date? Are they in a relationship? That's impossible. the girl looks in my direction. She's familiar, she's the girl I bumped in the comfort room. Did she know me?
Ally saw me and grab me outside the food court. She told me that she also saw it then hug me. I told her to bring me home as I need to rest and think. She didn't ask me anymore.
She bid goodbye and tell me that she's always here when I need someone to talk to. I just nod and close the door.
The scene I saw in the food court flashback in my mind.
*John and that girl are eating together and they are so sweet to each other, John held the hand of the girl and give a small box to the girl, the girl hugs him.*
Why? Am I not good enough? I've been a good girlfriend to him. When does he start cheating on me? So that explains why he's always busy. Am so stupid not to notice his sudden changes of behaviour. He's not sweet anymore and always forget our special dates of us.
I feel empty and I don't know what to feel anymore. I look at the gift I bought for him, it's useless. I throw it in the trash bin and went straight to my bed.
*Beep beep beep...*
**John's calling**
*"Hello, Thea let's talk"* wow, Thea? Not babe anymore? I think I know what he'll be going to say to me.
*"No need John, I set you free"* then I hung up. I don't want to listen to him, he might feed me with his lies, and also I don't want to hear from him that he wants a breakup.
One year later
It's good to be back here at my grandmother's place. I appreciate the peaceful place and the fresh air. I spent my time working for the whole year and now I'm giving myself a vacation.
My cousins greet me and they tour me to the hacienda. I got tired so we decided to go back home and continue the tour tomorrow.
I saw my grandmother on the terrace sitting and looking at the sunset.
*"Hey Abuela, I missed you so much. How are you doing here?"*
*"Hi apo, I'm doing well here. As usual, your Abuela is still strong. Though I wanted to go where your Abuelo is."*
I know she's been longing for Abuelo for a long time. I am a fan of their love story. They've been together for 50 years but Abuelo passed away last year.
I asked her what they did in able to keep their relationship strong.
*"Well, my apo. Being in a relationship wasn't easy, some arguments and challenges test your love for each other.* ***Honestly, trust and openness*** *that's the important things to make a relationship last. When you are honest with each other, you won't say a lie and keep a secret to your partner and that follows your trust in each other. This one is the most important, you should build trust in each other. And the last one, you should be open. When you have arguments, talk about them with calmness. This helps sort out the problems. Your Abuelo and I don't end the day fighting, we make sure that before the sun sets, the anger fades away."*
*"is love doesn't enough?"*
*"Yes, apo, love isn't enough. This will just make you hurt in the end. Love will fade away if you don't have those three I've mentioned"*
Now I know, John didn't honest with me, and we don't trust each other since he's always thinking I have an affair but all the time he's the one who's cheating. We don't talk about our problems and that ends our relationship.

Focus on your goal:The key to Productivity
February 11, 2022
What's up, everyone. I have been two days absent here, oh not absent since I was still able to read and comment on some of the articles but I haven't yet written an article. I am busy doing the things that I prioritize most and that is doing all the assignments and activities assigned to us.
*What do you feel when you finish all the tasks assigned to you?*
*How do you able to set aside the distractions in finishing your task?*
*Are you a person that wants to procrastinate before doing your task?*
In the webinar that I attended, one of the speaker's topics is about productivity. I enjoyed listening and was able to take down notes of some information the speaker shared.
Being productive means you can do a lot of work in a short period without you procrastinating.
Productivity is the state of being efficient which means you can maximize your output by using minimised
These are my awesome sponsors. feel free to check them out.
***So why being productive is important?***
Being productive helps us to avoid stress and burnout while thinking about the due of the tasks we need to finish.
Being productive help us to avoid delays in passing our work.
Being productive help us not to waste time and it can give us a good result.
In others, being productive means earning more.
There are many good effects of being productive.
In the webinar, a speaker gives a so-called SMART ACTIVITY. These are the ways that you can do so that you can achieve being productive.
Smart activity
**Rule of three -** you list down all tasks that you need to do and choose three tasks among them that you want to achieve within the day and do it.
**Two-minute rule** - in here, it is better to avoid procrastinating. Think of the tasks you can do in 2 minutes and do it right away. Don't wait for the deadline before you take action on it. This can help you lessen the things you need to accomplish.
Even small tasks can have a big effect if they are stocked in your to-do list.
**Time blocking** - this is different from the first two above. You need to focus on one task at a time, you may do the scheduling. This helps you organize your tasks.
These are the techniques that can help us in achieving productivity, but of course. We're all different, one may be effective to me but not to you and the other one may be effective to you and not to others. Techniques are varied to us, I know some of you have a different way like I said we're not the same. It's still up to us what we will do.
Being motivated
This also drove us to be productive. Why? Think of a reason why we need to finish that tasks. Think of our goal. This makes us being motivated and when we are motivated, we have energy and we can finish the tasks we need to do.
This is a journey. We should go forward day by day.
Well, I've come up with this article because I'm happy to share with you that I'm being productive these few days. The certification program that I'm taking, in module one has 18 units that we need to accomplish.
I love the animation of the module and it catches my attention so I hooked in answering this, though it's required tho hehe.
In our certification program, we need to answer modules and here are the tasks we need to do. We have five here but the required for us to answer are the watch, think and do. The do is the most important part because this will measure how we learn from the module. We need to get at least 80% for us to pass.
I am done with my reflection and other requirements that need to pass in our phase 1 activity.
And tadaaa, I'm so happy that I don't have pending tasks anymore as I finished all this week.
***It feels satisfying knowing that you can do the tasks ahead of time, without getting stressed and procrastinating. So let's try to be productive every day***.
Is it possible?:Zombie invasion
February 8, 2022
Hello everyone! I thought I won't be able to publish an article today but my mind says that I should at least write one, I shouldn't waste this day not writing an article. Hopefully, I will be able to finish this tonight.
**What keeps me busy today?**
Well, aside from taking care of my baby, doing modules, and attending the online class there's another one that keeps me busy and that is watching zombie series, yes I've been binge on watching zombies thingy since I watched the AOUAD. And oh I'm not the only one who's watching, my partner also influence to watch this kind of series haha so I'm not the only one who got annoyed or angry when there is a character who keeps on falling when running and hiding or do a foolish act.
This kind of genre is what I like most than romantic movies. I love the intense scene that makes me feel as if I am also part of the movie.
Earlier, my partner asked me a question
*"Do you think it's possible to have zombies here?"*
And that makes me think if it can be true or not. Here's my answer to him
*"I don't know, maybe yes there's a possibility since we're already in a modern world where technology makes impossible things possible."*
**This is just my opinion**
For me, zombies will be possibly happening here. Who knows, there's a mad scientist out there who makes an experiment and ends up failing, making the tester wild, or what if he created a virus that makes people become like a zombie when they expose to it. And it will spread.
Okay, I think I should stop my imagination from going far already.
***But if I were to ask you guys. What will your answer to the question raised by my partner?***
Here are the series that I already watched these few days...
**All Of Us Are Dead**
**Image source** https://www.google.com/search?q=all+of+us+are+dead&prmd=vinx&sxsrf=APq-WBtGplEQa_SyNAXcfTgtwTyfP30_PA:1644333303540&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBgczzsvD1AhWQklYBHaN0Da0Q_AUoAnoECAIQAg&biw=360&bih=668&dpr=2#imgrc=NRAHdlxyBf9q6M
I know most of you are familiar with this and some even write an article about th1e lesson or their views about this series. This is a new trend Kdrama series.
My partner and I spend almost one day to finish watching all episodes. There are lots of lessons you could learn there. I don't want to discuss it one by one but it's a good series I don't like the ending though hehe. I think it messed up at the end, the character I thought will survive died, my poor Cheong San (assumes haha lol). I'm quite sad with the ending. You can watch this on Netflix guys if you want to know about this series.
**Dark Hole**
**Image source** https://www.google.com/search?q=dark+hole&bih=668&biw=360&hl=en-GB&prmd=ivnx&sxsrf=APq-WBtg8wnc4NyVLnZnTWPsmXSwDQdSrQ:1644333730867&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwja6_tPD1AhWlsVYBHUeDAKsQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ#imgrc=Lj0LcGh4zy-DGM
Another drama series. I happened to found about this series on Facebook but the links are not available. You can watch it on Dramacool. This was also good series and it's not only about zombies but there are also creatures controlling the mutants (that's what they called the zombies there). There's a hole in the mountain and whoever inhaled the smoke coming from this hole will become wild and crazy and will attack people. Unlike AOUAD, I love the ending of this one. We just finished watching this afternoon.
**Love You As The World's Ends**
**Image** **source** https://www.google.com/search?q=love+you+as+the+world+ends&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjM8Z3BtPD1AhVREHAKHZbhBSEQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=love+you+as+&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQARgAMgsIABCABBCxAxCDATIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQ6CggjEO8DEOoCECc6BAgAEAM6BAgAEEM6CAgAEIAEELEDOgcIABCxAxBDUI8IWOQXYIUiaAJwAHgAgAHYAogBiBCSAQc0LjQuMy4xmAEAoAEBsAEFwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=pooCYsyGMNGgwAOWw5eIAg&bih=668&biw=360&prmd=ivnx&hl=en-GB#imgrc=1ojgVZ_et7AfsM
This one is not a Kdrama series, it's a Japanese series. We just started watching this a while ago and were currently at episode 4. I got hooked by the series, so I continue to watch until we got into episode 4. My partner is sleepy already so I have no choice but to stop watching also since he wants us to watch this series together like we always did hehe. There was a time when I was tempted to watch one episode while he was at work but I stop myself, he might get angry hehe LOL.
Thanks for reading guys! Goodnight and well catch up tomorrow. Ciao!

Let's answer a questions
February 7, 2022
Good day people! How's your Monday? Making it productive? Most of you are busy, I know since it's the first day of the new week again and the weekend is still far well, why do Friday be near to Monday yet Monday isn't near to Friday? Haha nevermind...
Well, I have a question, guys.
Do you always take a bath? How many times do you usually take a shower? Once, twice or more? Day and night? What routine do you do before, during and after taking a bath? Do you spend hours showering yourselves?
In this article of mine, I was inspired by @GamboaOfficialLikeUs that's she got from ate chelle18 if I'm not mistaken hehe sorry my memory is quite rusty today, I answered the module in our certification program and in one module there are 18 topics, shems my poor brain cells.
And I also added some would you rather questions about valentines day.
So let's begin answering questions about taking a bath...
**What part of the body do you get to wet first?**
My feet, since our floor, is always wet when I enter the bathroom and I don't usually wear slippers inside. My feet will be the first to get wet and I think it's safe since they say the lower part of your body should get wet first while taking a bath and not the head to avoid a heart attack that might lead to a stroke. When you put water first on your head entire blood will flow coming to your head and that's not good. This is the reason why most of the people who suffered a heart attack are found in the bathroom.
**How much time do you spend bathing?**
Before, I used to shower for almost one hour. My siblings are always complaining and asking me why I spend an hour taking a bath. I just told them to clean my body well haha. But now, it takes 10-15 minutes. Yes, that fast! Why? Because I have already a baby and taking shower long isn't my priority. While I'm taking a bath, I always think of my baby that he might wake up and cry. My partner once asked me if I did take a bath or not cause I'm very fast haha like flash char XD.
Some things will change when you become a mom already.
**What are those products you are using in bathing?**
First, I used shampoo (Palmolive blue). I don't want to use another shampoo since my hair got dandruff when I change the brand of it. So I can say that I'm loyal to this shampoo haha. Sana all! Char. Plus I like the scent of it.
Second, body soap. I used a one brand soap also and it's an ordinary soap where germs will eliminate, it's not a whitening soap since it doesn't irritate my skin plus it's not pricey. I guess most of you know this brand, safeguard. Yes, I just use safeguards for my body. This also smells nice.
Third, feminine wash.
Last is conditioner, my hair is dry when I don't use conditioner. It helps my hair become smooth.
**Funny things you did while taking a bath**
Before when I'm still living in our house with my sibling. I always shout whenever I first pour water into my body. My siblings always check what happened to me, haha but they got used to me, haha but now, I don't do it already since we moved here to my partner's house.
I TikTok, I mean I'm dancing but I'm not using a phone of course. Whenever there's a trend dance movement in TikTok I always do it while taking a bath, it's for me to practice before I do it outside.
I'm talking to the reflection of myself in the water. I tell random things sometimes I scolded myself for doing things I regret in the end and sometimes I praise myself by saying positive words about myself.
This is not that funny but I will include it here. I don't close my eyes for a long time when I pour water in my head because when I close my eyes, scary things appear in my mind and I am scared I might see something when I open my eyes. Yeah, I'm that paranoid XD.
**Have you tried taking bath with someone**
Yeah, many times with my sister. When we can't decide who will go first we just end up taking a bath together. Also, when I was a teenager, my best friend and I used to bathe together when she stay in our house. It's awkward at first but we used to it. No need to feel ashamed hehe.
And now let's move on to would you rather questions...
The questions are **here** https://www.google.com/amp/s/nuventuretravels.com/blog/20-fun-valentines-day-questions-trivia%3fformat=amp
**Have a fun new experience together or get a gift you’ve been wanting for a while for Valentine’s Day?**
I would rather choose to have a fun new experience together with my loved ones. That experience will remain forever in our hearts and the joy that we had will be a memorable experience for us. Experience and the special moment doesn't fade away. The gifts that I've been wanting to receive for a while can wait and also I can buy that for myself.
**Get a box of chocolates or flowers on Valentine’s Day**
I love flowers but I'm into chocolates hehe. I love eating chocolates. These are my stress reliever. I don't demand classy or expensive chocolates, any brand of chocolates or regular chocolates will do. I will be very happy with that. Who doesn't want to eat chocolates?
**Stay in or go out for Valentine’s Day?**
When this was asked to me before, I would choose to go out but today I prefer to stay on this valentines day. I would rather stay in for valentines day with my baby and partner and just have a simple dinner or food trip. It's hard to go out nowadays because of pandemics.
**Plan your Valentine’s date together or get surprised with a whole date already planned?**
Being surprised by someone you love is romantic but I prefer to plan our valentine's date together with my partner. I love planning what will happen on special days like valentines day. We make the decision both so the things we want will be included when having a valentine's date.
**Me read a love letter I’ve written to you or have me do something for you that means I love you. If your answer is to do something, what would that something be? (Let's change me to your partner)**
I choose the first one. I would rather let my partner read a love letter he had written for me. For me, it's very romantic and sweet. Nowadays, love letters aren't a trend anymore. I preferred the love letter that is written by my partner, not in the text form.
***Thanks for reading people***!

January Article Recap
February 6, 2022
Hello, dear read stars! How are you this past week? I hope you're doing fine. We have sunny weather here and it's hot, I feel like I need to bathe in water with ice haha char! But seriously, it's very hot here today and we're on the third floor so the sun is directing here. I missed the cold weather already.
We're on the month of Love, February. It's the 6th day of this month and I forgot to share with you the article that I published last month. I also don't have an idea how many articles I've got to publish, I didn't count it yet and now is the day where we are having a take a look at my published articles and see what are those.
Articles in January.
I don't think I achieve one of my goals which are to publish at least 20 articles as I know to myself that I didn't publish every day for some reason. This past week, I'm quite sad because I only publish a few articles, but still thankful that I've got to publish some and of course, I'm grateful to you guys who keep on supporting me even though I became inactive.

But right now, my baby doesn't want to breastfeed anymore, he prepares a bottle.

My son turned four months ft. Appics new user
February 4, 2022
Hello people! Hope you have a great day and are in good condition. How's life there?
Most of you already knew that I made an article about my baby's month's journey or we called it birthday each month. And yesterday, we celebrate again as he turned four months old. So as usual, we dressed him and the theme is Captain America. The last time he is spiderman. And of course, we did a DIY photoshoot, I don't have talent in photography but I still can capture a picture hehe. So I am again the photographer.
I'm gonna share here the photos we have taken yesterday.
This is the cake we ordered from the same seller before. As I always said, her cake is delicious and she can make the design that I want. The seller is kind. I messaged her before February 3 and asked if I can order a cake even if my budget is only P500 ($10) because the original price is P630 ($12.29), we're short of budget because my partner doesn't have work for a month but he now has a sideline. Fortunately, the seller said yes. So here's the cake with a Captain America theme.
My son wasn't in the mood since he was sleepy at that time. Even though my partner keeps on doing make a wacky face and calling his name he didn't smile haha. He's not in the mood. He wears Captain America design, I ordered it online.
He just looks at his father with that expression XD.
Aside from cake, my partner cooks spaghetti since there is a pack of it that is in stock here, we just add seasonings and hotdogs. He also buys Shanghai worth P80 ($1.56).
So here is the simple celebration of my baby's fourth-month-old.
After the picture taking, here's my baby already sleeping haha. He can't bear the sleepiness already. So we let him sleep. Look at his position, that's his favorite.
Now here's the second topic
I just created an account in Appics! I am curious about this because it's all over my newsfeed and I can't relate hehe so I asked what's that all about and a user in noise.cash told me to read here the article of ate **momentswithmatti** about Appics and so I did and signed up instantly. I already made a post there and interact with others but honestly, I still don't get some features there hehe a good thing is they have gc in telegram so you can ask whatever question you have in mind about the app.
This is my account and I'm still using my username here loveleng18. If you already have an account you can comment on your username so I can follow you guys :)
***Thanks for reading guys. Have a good night!***

Phase 1: Webinar Reflection
February 3, 2022
Good day, awesome people. I've been slacking for two days now and I need to pull myself by this laziness of mine. Grind self - grind, please.
In one of our subjects, we have the so-called phase 1 and phase 2. I already shared here the phase 2 requirement that we need to do. And in phase 1, we need to attend a three days webinar and watch it on FB live. This is about the things that help us in choosing and acing our career when we apply. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/what-to-choose-b2bb40f6
In every webinar, we need to fill out a Google form that they will provide and serve as our attendance. Aside from the attendance, we also need to make a reflection about the said webinar.
This is the sample of a google form for attendance after every webinar. Here, we need to fill up information needed such as our names and section and also the key takeaways that we get in the webinar.
These are the topics during our first webinar.
***And here is my reflection:***
In the webinar series which is a phase 1 activity, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the things we need in able to find a career that we want. All the speakers discussed their topics well and they are very informative. The questions that we have in mind are gladly answered by them and aside from giving us tips about how to be able to accept a job, they also give information about the industry they are working with.
In the first speaker, I have learned how to create a resume link that will be posted on jobs180.com. He explained the information that we need to put when we register and create our resumes online. This is the fastest and most convenient online application given that we have a pandemic and there's a limited face-to-face process. The speaker showed the information that we need to fill up and also he mentioned the formality of the resume by providing a formal or decent profile photo and email so that it will be pleasing to the employer when they check your resume. The second speaker discussed the top skills that employers look for. She mentioned five skills that we need to highlight to be able to be successful in looking for work. The five skills that she mentioned are critical thinking and problem solving, teamwork and collaboration, professionalism and strong work ethics, communication skills, and leadership. These skills are a great advantage in looking for a job. In the last speaker, she discussed the things we need to do in a virtual interview. She mentioned that we need to know the company first so that we can be able to answer if the employer asks us about their company, prepare for the interview Questions from most common to most difficult, practice, dress decently and the most important one is to be positive. http://jobs180.com
The information and tips that they give during the webinar are helpful especially to us who will be graduating. We can use this in finding a career that we want in the future. The knowledge that I have learned will be stored in my mind so that I will not forget them, this is the opportunity that we should value.
*That ends my reflection about the webinar we have. Technology makes things easier and possible especially during pandemics, when you need to attend into seminar you need to commute and leave your house, now because of the technology and different social media it's easy to join and listen to the webinar.*
Thank you to all my sponsors.

What to choose?
January 31, 2022
We're now at the end of the first month of 2022. How was it with you guys? Did you make this month productive and fruitful? I hope we all did :)
**Last Wednesday, aside from my** **mother's** **birthday. We also have our orientation about one of the subjects which handle our OJT or internship**. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/special-day-of-the-person-special-to-me-dc6ecc15
There are almost 700+ students that attend the said orientation. The speakers are the professors, coordinators, the head of our department and also the ones who handle the internship.
They discussed the choices that we can choose. Since there is still a pandemic, CHED won't allow all students to undergo a face to face out or onsite internship. It is for the safety of the students. They offered us three choices and here are those:
**Virtual OJT**
**Certification**
**Program-based learning**
I don't give much attention to the third one so I will just explain to you the first two choices.
The first one is the virtual ojt, well it's obvious we are going to undergo internship but virtually meaning we can't go on site. All process needs to do online even on applying and passing the requirements. No one is allowed to go to the company. Many requirements need to pass to the coordinator before you can start your virtual OJT in a certain company.
Submit complete documents for the company's proof of legitimacy and recommendation letter via email.
Company Profile
SEC Registration
Posting/Announcement about Internship
OJT/Intern Job Description
Recommendation Letter
Those are the requirements that need to submit when you choose virtual OJT.
The second one is the certification. Here there is a foundation that offers the school to teach students. It is still virtual but what you need to do is you're going to answer all the modules in the application that they provide and this is equivalent to virtual OJT but the difference is in virtual OJT you need to log in and render an hour and a total of 500 hours while in the certification you can manage your time since your choice if you will be going to answer all the modules in one month or finish it within the given months. There's an assessment also in every module. When you can pass all the assessments and answered the module, you will be given a certificate. Their certificate is whether you're qualified for an international certificate or a local certificate. I don't know what's the difference between these two. But the speaker says it's not a disadvantage if you got the local one.
They give us two weeks to decide on what we will gonna choose among the three choices. I want to experience the virtual OJT but I doubt I can find a company since I don't have enough tools such as a laptop or desktop, I know this is important when you choose this one. Aside from the tools that I need to have, I also need to have a quiet place and render at least 8 hours in doing the virtual Job. So I'm planning to choose the second one as it is more convenient for me. The head coordinator said that even if you don't choose virtual OJT, this doesn't mean that you are the least. The certification is also a good one.
When the said foundation sends the google form, (this is for those students who are taking certification) I instantly fill up to it to secure my slot.
*I hope I made the right decision and I think I am as I can't make it to the virtual OJT.*
These are my awesome sponsor's guys. Feel free to visit their articles :)
Special day of the person special to me
January 30, 2022
This month passed by so fast and one more day before we finally bid goodbye to January and welcome February, the month of love they say.
How are you all people? It's Sunday, do you rest? Or still, working? Did you make this day a productive one? Well, I spent this day finishing watching the new trend kdrama series "All of us are dead".
Enough with the intro and let me start the highlight of this article.
My mom's birthday
Last Wednesday, January 26. We celebrated my mom's birthday. Before that day, I told my partner to visit my mom in the cemetery on her birthday.
I told my father that I will be going to the cemetery and he told me that he'll be there when he went home from work. And that is early evening. My partner and I when there at noon since my mother in law is not yet home to take care of my baby so we didn't go out early.
We buy flowers and I chose the white one since this color is memorable to my mother. We also buy candles and put these on my mother's grave. We pray and greet her with a happy birthday in heaven. I also told her how much I missed her and tell a story about my baby.
This is what our public cemetery looks like. The graves are in a layer and my mother is located on a third layer which is very high already so every time we visit her we need a ladder or something we can climb on.
My partner and I took a picture so that we have a remembrance since it's been a while since my last visit to her, I'm still pregnant that time. I didn't bring my baby for his safety as it's not yet safe to go outside because of the pandemic.
I captured this in the cemetery. This is an old church and the inside was already ruined and there's a new church there.
Closing thoughts:
This is my mother's third birthday in heaven. Before we used to celebrate it by visiting her and cooking food especially the Biko that her speciality but last Wednesday we weren't able to cook food because we're short of the budget but we make sure we visited her and greet her.
Let's just not forget all our loved ones who passed away. I know they are there guiding us all.
To my mother, I love you and I missed you so much ma. You will always be in our hearts.
Thank you for renewal ate @eylz2021. Godbless you po :)
Thank you for renewal ate @eylz2021. Godbless you po :)
Not again:My worries
January 28, 2022
Good day, awesome people! How are you all? I'm always asking this because I want to know if you're in good condition and I hope you are :)
I'm absent yesterday so I'm planning to write two articles, hopefully, I will do it.
Are you scared of fire? Well, me, yes I am. I don't want to play with it. It's dangerous. I always told my younger sister before to not play with candles, matches, and anything that can cause a fire. I always check the wire and extensions in our electricity, I don't want to plug in so many things in the extensions at the same time, it might cause overload and overheat. I get mad when they forgot to unplug their chargers after charging. I am being careful and mindful as I have had traumatic happening before when our house was swallowed by fire.
So here's the story:
**Image Source** https://unsplash.com/photos/wCKzi8nDkw8
*Year 2012 of July, in the middle of a silent night. We are all sleeping when my mother woke up hearing the noise coming from our neighbor. She heard something like "sunog" fire, so she instantly look at our window and she saw the fire that is near already in our house. She woke us up and told us what was happening, I am half asleep half awake that night but my adrenaline rush wakes me up fully, I brought my school bag with me and grab my sisters out. My father and mother went back to our house to grab some of our things but the fire is very fast. While my father is thinking about what things to bring outside, my mother pulls him as the fire touches our wall but my father isn't in following her as he thought the fire doesn't reach our house yet since he is facing the cemented wall while the fire already in our wall which is located at his back, so my mother told him the fire is already there. That's when he's back to his senses and they both run outside.*
*We evacuated in the park near our house. And a few days after the fire, my birthday comes so I had my birthday without a house.*
The cause of the fire
A candle that they forgot to put out. A piece of a candle burned our house and many families stays in evacuation areas.
End of story.
That explains why I'm very cautious when it comes to fire. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to feel the nervousness and fear that I felt before.
Last Friday, exactly one week now there's a situation here in my partner's house. I thought it was a normal blackout when the electricity went out so I unplug all the appliances but I shouted in shock when there were sparks in my back located in my inlaws room. And I can see the fire, I heard my father in law told my partner to turn off the breaker immediately which my partner did. The fire went out since there was no active electricity. I can smell the burned wire and my nervousness is to the highest level. Good thing, I didn't go into a panic situation. I just secured my baby.
Thank God. There's nothing worst that happened that night. My partner and his father put out the burned extension and they just used new. So the electricity went back instantly.
***Thank you for reading guys! Let's all keep safe and be cautious always.***
Good day everyone! How's your day? I hope you're fine :)
Anyways, in case you didn't see my article last night here's the link thank you.

Midnight black out:Ramblings
January 27, 2022
Light light light! Where are you in the middle of the night? We need you, we need air too. Why? Why did they cut them out in this perfect time? No, it's not perfect though. Okay, we have a situation here. I tell you this, we don't have electricity now it's started at 11:00 in the evening and here's what makes me annoyed, they just announced 1 hour before the electricity went out. In their announcement, they say that we should be ready for the possible blackout that will happen at midnight. So we charged our phone but it didn't go full because the electricity hour after we charged them went out already!
I am not angry guys, I am just annoyed cause why didn't repair it in the morning and not at these hours. I think most of our houses here don't have electricity. I can hear kids crying maybe they are scared of the dark or they want air. My baby is scared of dark too but he's still sleeping so he wouldn't mind yet.
This is the only light we have right now. It's a mini flashlight that can be glued to the wall. At first, we used the flashlight of our phone but the battery life doesn't last long, the good thing is my mother-in-law gave us this flashlight. We don't want to use candles as it is dangerous to use in this kind of hour. We need to sleep and so we can't guard it the whole time. I'm scared our neighbors might use candles and they might not look into it 24/7 but I hope they are being careful and mindful.
The mini fan that I ordered online is finally used now. But the problem is we forgot to buy new batteries and it didn't last long, no use now.
I have a fan here and I'm using this now for my baby since mosquitoes are everywhere. I'm itching because of the bites of those bloodsucker mosquitoes and I'm not loving it.
I told my partner to sleep first and I am the one who looks for them and fans our baby since I'm not yet sleepy because I'm thinking of my baby. Mosquitoes might have a first on his skin. And later when I'm sleepy I will wake up my partner so that he's now in charge of our baby.
Thanks to the mobile data I can still write now even though we don't have internet. A while ago my partner load my sim so that I can still attend our zoom orientation even though we were at the cemetery to visit my mom.
***I think I need to cut this article now, the battery is 13% now. It might shut down without me being able to publish this one.***
Thank you for reading my ramblings at this hour. The time is 2:01 am, it's been almost two hours since the electricity went out and they said it will come back tomorrow so it means later I don't know what exact time, I hope it is early. I can feel the hot now so I'll be using my two hands to fan us here. I will make up tomorrow guys! Ciao.
*Keep safe guys!*

How many BCH? So near yet so far!
January 25, 2022
It's been eight months since I joined this platform and been seven months since I became active here. From the past months, I learned a lot, I improved I think and I gained friends virtually. I've read awesome and interesting articles. When I've got my first sponsor, I became motivated to write and when rusty finally visit me I'm more active here. Was able to publish one article a day, there's a month before where I was able to publish 25 **articles** in one month. Ah, I missed those days when I've got to write an article every day. I have so many topics before, my mind is very active as I am lying in my bed before and just attend online class if we have a class. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/thank-you-augustusreadcash-journey-77c17a3c
And when **October** comes I became inactive for a while as I am adjusting to being a mother and at the same time attending my online class. So in the next few months last year, I was able to publish just 15 below articles since I didn't write always but it's fine with me as I know that I can't force myself in publishing always because I have **responsibilities**. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/of-pain-and-joy-meet-my-little-one-8a1943c4 https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/why-i-cant-writeduties-and-responsibilities-ccf36f64
I checked my transaction history here in my account and see how many bch I gained and I'm surprised by the result of it.
***How much do you guess?***
1?2?3? No higher 3?4?5? Hmm nope yes you read it right. I accumulated 6 BCH! Too good to be true right? But it's true guys. It's because of the UTXO, I've read **ate Ruffa's** article and a while ago I also read **ate Jane's** article and they both mentioned and tag are **Eybyoung's** article about **UTXO**. This explains why we have a huge amount of BCH earned here, try reading her article so you won't be fooled by the amount. https://read.cash/@Eybyoung/understanding-utxo-unspent-transaction-output-in-laymans-term-42f1f07d
So this is what I've seen in my transaction history. I already had 6 BCH, first I'm amused and can't believe that it's true so I read other articles about their total earnings and because of that I was able to know why is this became this huge amount. The **UTXO** (Unspent Transaction Output) is the reason.
It's so near yet so far, the 6 BCH will stay forever in my wallet and I am just staring at this huge amount dreaming to become real in the future. Well, I just need to grind and grind and grind more in able to achieve at least 1 bch but right now I don't think I will be able to do this as I need to convert my earnings into fiat since my partner doesn't have a work yet and we have our baby's needs. I'm waiting for me to graduate and find work so that I won't be able to touch my earnings here and I will just hodl this and invest in the tokens in smartbch. I want to continue my unfinished journey there hehe. It's been a while since my last visit to my metamask.
*I guess if I was able to hold my earnings in bch, I have now a 1 bch in my wallet. Well, I will still pursue this goal of mine to have at least 1 bch no matter how or when I will achieve this.*
Thanks to my sponsors, I'm forever grateful to all of you :)
His vaccine day:He is now stronger
January 24, 2022
Good evening people. We're now back here at my partner's place, we have a weekend vacay in my father's house. I missed them a lot and they missed my baby too. Though our houses are near, my sisters can't go outside to visit here since unvaccinated are not allowed to go out only our older sister can go outside.
Anyways, last week Wednesday when I've got my vaccine for covid my baby also got his vaccine. We have the same schedule. His second dose of anti pneumonia and the other one, I forgot the name of it but it's written in the baby book was scheduled for January 12, 2022, but we didn't go to the center that day since we all don't have proper sleep and my baby also and we decided to just go on the next Wednesday. Every Wednesday is "Bakuna day" (vaccine day) for every baby in our center.
So we went there last Wednesday, early in the morning and as usual, we need to wait for the doctor. My baby got a vitamin d that day since the sun shines brightly, we grab the opportunity. Seems like he knows that he'll be going to receive an injection again. He's not looking happy tho.
Even though we arrive early. There is still a long line but it's fine as long as there are chairs. My baby falls asleep while we are waiting.
I am the one who feels the nervousness that day. I feel sorry for my baby since I know he will cry louder when the injection injects into his legs.
When it's our turn, my baby is still sleeping and when the injection was injected into him he cries hard and I saw his tears on the side of his eyes. He got two injections again.
Look at my baby's face when he's done. He stops crying and just make a sad face.
He's really a sad boy that day haha XD.
Before we went home, we stops for a while to see my sisters and they are happy to see my baby. We called our father and look, my baby is not sad anymore as if he forgot about the pain. I think we stay there for about 30 mins. And then went home.
Before when he can't straighten his legs without him crying but now look he can straighten his legs and both of them without crying. He moves his legs like he didn't have an injection. He also didn't get a fever. I can say that he's stronger than before hehe. My baby wants to grow faster and he is heavy now.
***Next month he will turn four months and I'm excited for that day. He'll be going to wear a captain America costume***.

I invited her at noise.cash and she's now loving it
January 22, 2022
Goodmorning people at my side and good evening, good afternoon to that other side of the world. How are you all? Glad to share with you that all of my family are well now. And later we'll gonna visit them and stay there until Monday. They missed the baby so much, especially my father.
*Noise.cash and Read.cash are platforms that need to share and introduce to many as well as the existence of bitcoin cash. Who would have thought that there's a legit platform where you can make short posts or create an article and earn. Not just earn but you can gain friends too virtually, you can learn crypto stuff too and discover lots of things that are legit also. Thanks to the admins and sponsors of these platforms for making and letting us enjoy these awesome platforms.*
I invited my sister
I've been telling my sister about these platforms noise.cash and read.cash. I even show to her my earnings in my coins.ph wallet before because she's like we? Is that legit? I show to her how I converted some of my bch to fiat and send th to my cash and she was like okay.
She's my sister on my father side but we're close really, my mother is the one who takes care of them when they are young but we moved here to Manila and she together with our oldest sister left in the province. She went here last 2019 so that we have company since my mother died and my father needs to go to his work. But went back to the province last July 2021. When she's in the province I urged her to try noise.cash, since she said she don't know if she can write an article with a 3 mins length to read. She always says I only finish high school and I'm not good at English even though I told her she can write in our language. She tried to register in noise.cash and I guide her even though we were in a separate place. We just video called and she shared her screen then I guide her on what to do.
When she already have an account I told her about the rules that she needs to follow and even let her read them. I told her what to do and what to post. I think she just posted two or three posts that time and stop, she said their pocket wifi got soaked in the water when our nephew threw it and she just uses data but the signal there is very slow and she can't log in to noise.cash. Because of that, her account was abandoned for how many months.
She tried it again
When she went back here with her daughter for good, I think hehe last October.
Okay to make the story short:
Last month, I remember to ask my sister about her account in noise.cash and pursue her again to be active there since the heart tipping already changed by free tips I said she can receive tips when she posts original content. Fortunately, she remembers the email she used and she logs in again to her account and tries to make some noise. As her first subscriber and number one supporter, I always check if she has already a post.
Here I told her that I'm going to withdraw some of my earnings and if she wants to withdraw along to hers and she said yes. I told her to prove that these platforms are legit, so I guide her on how to send her bch to my coins.ph wallet since she doesn't have one. Then I will just send it to her gcash.
After a few hours of waiting, I received already on my coin.ph wallet. I send the earnings of my sister to her gcash and she's surprised that it became P215 ($4.19) and she's just expecting P200 I told her that the suddenly pump a little but the truth is I add it since she needs to cash it out and there's a fee, I want her to get her earnings in full.
She messaged me and she's very happy about her first earnings. She said thank you to me. When I told her that we were back to zero again she just said that fine just make a noise. Hehe, she's now consistent in making **noise**. https://noise.cash/u/Jefayefabro
*Just now my sister messaged me and said she already has 37 subscribers and she gained friends too. Wow, now I can say that her comeback is good and that she doesn't have any regrets about trying this again.*
***Thank you to all my sponsors. Thank you for staying in my sponsor's block. Check them out guys :)***

Finally, Got my first Jab of vaccine!
January 20, 2022
Hello hello hello awesome people. Yes, I'm excited to share with you my experience of getting my first dose of vaccine yesterday. My vaccine? AstraZeneca. Well, we know that all vaccines have their side effects and lucky those people who didn't experience having side effects. Many say that the vaccine that I've got have strong side effects and you will feel chills. When I saw in the paper that I'm holding yesterday that my vaccine is Astra, I had second thought I messaged my sister but she says I should get vaccinated and no need to think twice so I do what she says.
I thought there was a long line and there are many people but when I entered inside look at the venue there was no long line and there are only a few who will be going to have their vaccine too. There's a paper given to me and I filled it up and when I'm done I went to the one who will be going to interview me for some health issues then after that I proceed to the vaccination room and there are people who will assist you.
I'm nervous but calm myself and when the one who will be going to inject me say I should inhale, I do it and feel the syringe touches my skin. Fortunately, I don't been scared of injections anymore since I became pregnant. I used to the syringes penetrates my skin LOL.
Since my partner didn't come with me inside the vaccination site and just wait for me outside, that added to why I feel nervous I am alone inside and I'm not used to it. I'm teary-eyed while entering the venue haha drama queen eh? XD.
Tadaaa! I've got my first job! In the observation area where we need to just sit down and wait for fifteen minutes before we go outside the room, it is to check how's your body reacting to the vaccine or if you have a sudden headache or feel dizzy.
I found a friend there when I was in the observation room so I take the opportunity and ask them if they can photograph me hehe and that's the result.
The side effects
I research the side effects of the vaccine I've got and here's the result.
`feeling tired`
`tenderness, bruising, pain or itching in the arm where you had the vaccine injection`
`headache`
`muscle pain`
`joint pain`
`nausea`
`fever (temperature of 38 degrees Celsius or above)`
Source https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/astrazeneca/side-effects/
*Fever, headache, muscle pain and tiredness that's the side effects I have.*
I thought I won't feel any side effects since I am okay in the observation area and a few hours after the vaccine when we arrived home, I am fine but I feel sleepy so I take a nap. I woke up around 6 in the evening and I'm having a sore throat and I know the side effects is starting to enter into my body. At around 11 pm, I feel a little chill and my body heat when we check it in the thermometer it's 37.5 so I have a fever. I take medicine immediately. I didn't have a proper sleep last night because I keep on waking up.
And now my left arm where the injection injected to me is like paralysed I mean I can't move it properly it hurts and is heavy. I can't even carry my baby so my partner is the one who takes care of our baby for the whole day.
Closing thoughts
Anyways, I am happy that I have finally got my first dose of the vaccine, I need to wait for four weeks for my second dose. But even though I become fully vaccinated I won't go anywhere if it isn't important, I don't want to risk my baby's health, I need to stay home to avoid exposure to the virus. It's better to be safe given that the number of cases here who are getting positive in covid is increasing so it's good to stay at home when you don't have any necessary thing to do outside.
What's in my gallery:Let's see
January 17, 2022
Taking pictures is one of my hobbies. It's good for keeping memories and capturing moments that are special to you. In my gallery, I have thousands of pictures in total from August up to now since my phone needed to fix it and all photos I had before were lost, they reprogram it. Sad to say, I don't have any back up only those photos I uploaded on FB before.
And now let me share with you some photos I have here in my gallery. It's been a while since I joined a writing prompt, and this one is initiated by @meitanteikudo. If you want to join, feel free to visit his article**.** https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/prompt-gallery-raid-c8105819
So let's begin:
Oldest photo on your phone
These are the cats of my sister. The white one is Hoppa and the other one is Mikki. But sad to say, **Hoppa** lost for about 4 months already and until now we haven't seen her. She's the first cat of my sister and when she lost, we cries a lot. I too became close to Hoppa for she is a sweet cat. Sometimes she and Mikki play and later on, we will see them fighting haha. Mikki is also sad about the disappearance of Hoppa, we can feel it before. He became lethargic. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/where-are-you-hoppaour-cat-is-missing-2747e0cb
Latest photo on your gallery
This was taken last night, my partner went to the grocery and buy diapers and wipes for our baby. I took a picture of these because I send them to my sister. The money that was used in buying these is my earnings here which I converted into fiat. She now believes that this platform is legit and she's also now active in noise and got her first earning yesterday too.
A photo you have no idea what it is about
I run through my gallery and saw this one, honestly, I don't have any idea why I took this photo and where this photo was taken. I also don't know the girl standing there and I can't read the signage so I don't have a clue where it is.
The worst photo
Do I need to explain why? It's obvious haha, I didn't check it before and just saw it now. This was taken on new year's eve so I bet our photographer that night is a bit tipsy or drunk already haha. This was the result. That's me and my baby anyway. I'm gonna delete these now.
A selfie
I remember this day, we still have face to face classes at that time. I love taking selfies with different filters before. I find it cute tho, the filters.
A groupie
I attend a christening before and I was pregnant already on that day so I didn't drink alcohol only my friends. The baby's mom is the one wearing mask, her baby is my godchild. What I did that day is to eat and eat and eat haha I enjoyed eating there XD. LOL!
The best photo
My sister took this photo and send it to me, I'm amazed at the colors of the clouds so I saved it on my gallery. I also shared it already in my noise.cash account before. This was the view in our window and our first time to see this kind of cloud, though I only saw it in the picture.
This one also is my best photo. I together with my baby. Look at his smile, I make this one as my profile picture on my FB. It seems that he knows how to smile at the camera already.
A Photo of food you want to eat again
Yes, you see this right, the photo that I want to eat again is spaghetti. We just cook spaghetti if there is an occasion that needs to celebrate and because Christmas and new year and our birthdays are not yet near, I don't know when I should eat homemade spaghetti, I can buy spaghetti but I want the one, my partner or sister cook.
A place you have been that you want to visit again
In my province, Dumaguete city. I missed my relatives there and the place itself. The beach and the park. There are many beautiful places that you can visit there. But this pandemic gives us a hard time going back to the province. Before every vacation, I went there with just myself and we also spend Christmas there. I wonder when we would go back again there.
Beach/Resort/Getaway Photo
This is the resort somewhere in Antipolo if I remember it well hehe. Can you see me? I find this photo cute since I am with those Pokemon, do you know their names? My favorite is Pikachu. This is the outing of our batch during my senior high school our last bonding together. Our teacher joined also us.
Funniest Photo
I find this one funniest. Remembering this day when we took this picture, we said to each other that we should do a laughing pose so this is scripted guys hehe. Look at our hands, all covering our mouth or near at our mouth XD. We're at the KTV in the SM megamall.
The Most memorable photo
I have many memorable photos but this one is special to me. This photo is taken on my 18th birthday. I told my parent to not throw a party and just spend my debut without 18 candles and 18 roses but they told me that it is once in a lifetime so they find a way to celebrate it, it's a simple celebration. And this photo, I'm with my mother and father and they give a message to me. I cried that time.
You see those people in the background holding umbrella? Yes, it's raining that night. Strong rain and wind since there's a typhoon during my birthday. I said sorry to my visitors because some were almost wet but they said it's okay and it's a blessing. My birthday continue and I had fun.
So there you go, those are some of the photos I have in my gallery. It's fun to look back and remember what's those picture is all about. Thanks to the one who created this awesome prompt Master **Meitanteikudo.**
Thank you for reading guys! keep safe always.

Mixed emotions:Acronyms ramblings
January 15, 2022
*It's the weekend already my dear friends, any plan? As for me, as usual, nothing new just stay here at home taking care of my baby, playing with him and talking random things with my partner. These past few days, watching movies are becoming our hobby since we don't have anything to do here, we can't go outside also watching movies makes me relax and avoid stress. I just lie down and find a movie that we will be going to watch.*
**M**onday passed and now it's the weekend already, do you feel the pressure or stress when Monday comes? For me, before when a pandemic didn't hit us and the class is face to face, I got sad whenever Sunday evening comes because tomorrow will be Monday and it means I need to wake up early and be ready early to go to school. I'm not that lazy student it's just that I don't feel energized when Monday comes and think about the fact that Friday is far from Monday.
**I** feel nervous yet excited now because the start of an online class will be next week. Nervous because it will be added to my responsibilities, being a student I need to participate actively and pass all the activities that need to pass, my time will divide so I should have good time management. Excited since this is our last semester and when we pass this we will be able to graduate this year.
**X**YZ, this is what I've always read when we have an activity referring to a company's name. This is a very popular sample name instead of thinking about the names of a person, they used this in general. Since I am a financial management student, I encounter a lot of XYZ companies in our module, especially in our accounting subject before.
**E**nd of the semester is what I'm looking forward to but of course, I know it will not be going to be easy especially for me being a student at the same time mother. But I do have inspiration that motivates me in doing my best, my family, especially my baby.
**D**o you enjoy your time being a student before? I hope you do. They say when you are already working, you will be going to miss the days when you are still studying. Being in a real-world I mean outside of the school isn't easy, you need to find a way to live be it working or having a side hustle. The world outside the school is different.
**E**xcited about the upcoming graduation, yet nervous and scared I might not make it. But I'm gonna do my very best to be able to make it. I want to make myself proud and of course, my parents be proud of me.
**M**emories of being a student, those need to be treasure, isn't it? My favourite year is when I was in high school. I have so much fun and gained true friends. Do you still have communication with your high school friends?
**O**f course, college life isn't easy yet memorable too. When you graduate and surpass, all the sleepless nights, the hardships, the tears and all will be paid off. It's all worth it. I'm waiting for this moment.
**T**he only wish of every graduating student now is to have a face to face graduation, to march on the stage and to wear a toga. But given this pandemic, I don't sure if we will be heard since we need to follow safety protocol and the graduates in our university last year didn't have a graduation, a formal one they still haven't got their diploma.
**I**n every task that is given to us, we should pass it on time or else we will be going to have a low grade. As for me, I was able to pass all the activities before on time but that wasn't easy for me but I need to.
**O**n the day when our grades are already out. I am happy with the result and also our **thesis** subject gives me a grade that I think I deserve. I hope to make it again this last semester. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/finally-done-thesis-hardbound-56969b3b
**N**ow, I am preparing for the start of our online class next week. The start of the class should be on January 14 but they make it asynchronous and the form a start will be next week. The other city here postponed the start of the class this week to give students, teachers and parents a long week health break due to the rise of covid cases.
**S**tarting next week I know additional responsibilities will I u facing. There's no announcement yet to our OJT, what is the setup or we just attend an online seminar like what other graduates did before. This pandemic gives us a hard time.
***Thanks for reading my ramblings article. I was just inspired by ate Jane in doing acronym since I saw some of her articles and I find it creative so I try it hehe.***
Why I can't write:Duties and Responsibilities
January 13, 2022
Awesome day my dear Read.cash friends! How are you all? I hope you are in a good situation.
When we write we need to relax our minds, bodies and have enough sleep so that we can think well. If we don't have enough rest, we don't have the energy and our mind can't think of even one topic.
This is what I'm experiencing now, as you all know I already have a baby, he is three months old and it's been a week since waking up at dawn become his hobby. I thought it will change when he grows old, they say. Usually, he wakes up at 2 or 3 am and fall asleep again in the morning, so we need to stay awake too. What I do is I play with him so that he will be sleepy again. And when he sleeps at 7 or 8 in the morning that's the time also that we head back to sleep but sometimes he wakes up in two hours. My eyes and head are aching when I immediately get up to carry my baby. Then went back again to sleep when falls asleep. That's been our routine since last week. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/my-baby-turns-three-monthsspiderman-baby-0e3c8495
This is our picture when he woke up at dawn, he's hyper and shouting and laughing. I have a video of him but can't attach it here. He's laughing and that makes my sleepiness away. Look at my eyebags guys.
And because I don't have proper sleep, it seems that my mind doesn't function well that I can't think of what I will be going to write, also my body doesn't want to move like it just wants to lie down the whole day doing nothing, but of course, it's impossible to do so as I have responsibilities as a student, wife and a mother. Sometimes even though I squeezed my mind to think of a topic, it's not like before that I can think of one or two topics a day.
But of course, I don't want to be inactive here for long days so I need to think of motivation to write at least one.
My motivation
My baby. I don't hide the fact that we are earning here so it's important to us. We write to earn and also there's a bonus which is to interact with others. Since my partner doesn't have work now because of this pandemic their company cut the number of their workers, and my partner is just a newbie in their company so he includes those who lose their job. We need money to buy for our baby's needs such as diapers, milk since he's mixed now, etc. So I need to push myself to write for we need extra income. Even though I feel a bit sad since rusty's visit to me is not like before, maybe because my interaction here lessen and I don't publish every day like before.
Closing thoughts
Even though, my baby gives us a hard time getting proper sleep it's fine with me as long as he doesn't have a sickness. And when he is awake at dawn he's very cheerful and always smile at me which makes me not feel the sleepiness. What I do is I just capture a picture of him while smiling or I took a video. I'm hoping that soon the sleep hour of my baby will change.
Regardless of my situation right now, I will still write here and interact.
Thank you to my awesome sponsors. Your support means a lot to me.
***Thank you guys for reading this so far.***

A not so productive day:Tuesday
January 11, 2022
Okay. I need to push myself to write an article for today since it has been two days since my last published article and I don't want to miss my goal which is to publish at least 20 articles this month.
Yesterday, I gave myself to rest so I didn't write and just watched a movie. Are you familiar with the new trend animated movie today? Do you know La Familia Madrigal? Yes, I am talking about the "Encanto" movie. My partner and I watched this last night. I got hooked with their animation effects and their songs that give makes me have an LSS(The last song syndrome). I've been reading and seeing lots of posts regarding the movie so I give it a try and it was awesome. I don't regret watching this movie just like "Coco". Now it's my second fave animated movie.
While today, I just spend my whole day watching YouTube blogs of my favourite vloggers. It's been a while since I last watched vlogs. Before that, I also don't have proper sleep last night since my baby is awake from 1 am till 4 am and of course, we need to join him. So we woke up late already, the good thing is my baby sleeps already. Back to what I am saying, I just lie down here and spend my day watching vlogs.
Lemme share with you who's vlogger I watched today.
First is the vlog of Ivana Alawi, she's a Moroccan - Filipino, an actress, model and vlogger. I love her being genuine in her every vlog. She's family centred, she loves her family so much. Even though they are rich, their mother Mama Alawi teach them to stay their feet on the ground and always help others. They are a very simple family. What I love about her vlog is that she includes her family always and also their assistant who works more than a year with them which they treat as a family.
She's also a good prankster. And a while ago I watched her vlog about pranking her assistant and her sister. Also, she pranks her brother Hash Alawi.
https://youtu.be/MWn69Z25xEw
This is one of the vlogs of her that I watched a while ago. I watched a lot hehe I missed many vlogs of her.
The second vlogger that I watched is Zeinab Harake, half Filipino and half Lebanese. She's also one of the awesome and kind vloggers on youtube. Her content makes me laugh as she is also a joker.
I love her previous content which is the vlogmas. It's her content where she invites an artist or vloggers and they need to play to win a cash prize and the prizes that the player get will be given to the person who emails her. She chooses beneficiaries who will be going to receive the money and all she chooses are deserving as they need help. They have a collab of Ivana Alawi and that's my favorite vlog of her.
https://youtu.be/wewNdr9optY
The cash prize that they get will be given to the family who has an ill child. My heartache when I saw the video before their challenge, Zeinab visits the family personally to see them.
These two beautiful ladies have kind heart and they want to help others. I love their contents and I enjoy watching them only if I have free time hehe.
I do have a lot of favorite vloggers such as Donnalyn Bartolome, Jelai Andres, Ranz and Niana, Alex Gonzaga and many more but one day isn't enough to watch their vlogs.
So that's for today's article. Need to cut this for I need to prepare for bed. My baby is sleeping now so let me take this opportunity to sleep also. Will gonna catch up with you guys tomorrow. Goodnight people. We need to be early tomorrow, my baby's vaccine schedule.
Thank you for reading :) keep safe!

He's allergy: need to be mindful of the foods I eat
January 9, 2022
Good day people! How's your weekend? Did you do something productive or just spend it resting. Well, we all deserve to rest our bodies for a while.
It's been three days since my baby wakes up at midnight and stay awake until morning so I and my partner also don't have enough sleep. Then when morning comes my baby will sleep until afternoon or evening.
I shared here an article about our simple celebration of my baby's third-month-old. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/my-baby-turns-three-monthsspiderman-baby-0e3c8495
My baby's skin that time was fine though he still had redness in his cheeks but not that severe. We thought it's because of the soap we used so we changed it as per the doctor advice when we went to the center. Then last January 5, his face suddenly went red again and it's like there are red dots as if the blood is formed. It's like a wound. So I told my partner to bring our baby to the clinic so that we will able to know what's happening to the skin of my baby.
Tomorrow morning comes, we immediately went to the clinic but many patients are also waiting and our number is 11. We need to wait until our number is called. When it's already our turn, only one person plus the patient is allowed to enter so my partner told me that I should be the one who accompanies our son. The person who's assisting us looked at my baby's face and asked some questions. Also, they get the weight and temperature of my baby.
She then told us that the doctor who will look at my baby is a derma doctor but she will arrive at 1 in the afternoon and we need to be back in the afternoon, fortunately, we won't have to fall in line again.
My sister is also checking how's my baby so they keep on calling us and asking for the update. Even though my baby has sick, he's still jolly and cheerful. He loves to listen as if he understands us.
When we went back to the clinic, the doctor assisted us and look at my baby's face. She said the rashes are a lot. I told her that it suddenly became like that. She gives prescriptions to us.
These are the prescriptions that we need to buy for our baby. We only buy two of them since our money at that time was short. One is an ointment for his face and the other is an antibiotic for allergy. The other one which we didn't buy yet is for his scalp. The doctor also told me that I shouldn't eat lean foods such as chicken, fish and eggs.
My father called and asked us what happened so I told him about what the doctor told me. He asked if we were able to buy all the medicines and so I told him that we didn't, my father then said that he will give money to me so that we can buy the last medicine for my baby. My sister is the one who buys the medicine and just delivered it here in the house.
After two days of putting the ointment in his face, my baby's skin was back to normal again and it's soft. The medicines are effective, it's maybe the reason why they are costly. I'm happy to see the result of it, my baby didn't rub his face because it didn't itchy anymore.
***Now I need to be careful and mindful of the foods that I eat. Maybe I should eat more veggies now, I don't mind as long as it's for my baby's sake. I don't want his allergy back again.***

Finally done: thesis hardbound
January 8, 2021
***All the hard work, stressful days, and efforts are well paid off. Finally, we hardbound our thesis paper before the deadline of it. We have now a book that is engraved our name on the front cover indicates that we are the ones who conducted that study.***
Being a student isn't easy. One of the subjects that students are afraid of is a thesis but this is very important especially when you are graduating. Thinking of a research title is hard and mind you, we passed almost 5 topics to our adviser but we failed to have one so we need to think again of the most interesting topic which we think the output will help the individual. A topic should be interesting, timely and worthwhile. Then when you are done you think of a problem that your group needs to address and that's where your study will revolve. You need to find related literature and studies that will support your study and find respondents who will be going to answer your questionnaire then you will interpret the result after tallying it. Lastly, you will conclude and recommend strategies or plans.
See? As a researcher, you need to do this long process. And when your paper is done from chapters one to five, that doesn't end yet. You need to defend it to the panelist which throws questions about your study.
Last January 4, 2022, our GC in thesis leaders became chaotic when one asked about the deadline of hardbound of our thesis, they received an announcement that on January 7 our thesis hardbound should be passed or else we will receive a grade of 7. Many shows a violent reaction regarding this sudden announcement. Even, I got shocked about it. They said before that we can pass the hardbound until the second semester yet now they will announce to pass it a few days before the deadline. But of course, we're just students and we follow our department heads decisions. I thought we won't be able to pass it on the said deadline because we can't hardbound it yet since we need to get the approval of all panels by emailing them. But the email that the panelists received was overwhelming and they can't reply to us all one by one so the chairman told our class representative to have our adviser check our paper and ask their approval. Fortunately, our adviser is easy to reach therefore our thesis was approved immediately and we can now hardbound it.
Since none of my members is available to find a store where we can hardbound our paper. I asked my friend where they book bind their thesis paper and she gave me the page of it and I immediately message them on messenger. They reply instantly, I asked them how much it will cost for the hardbound which we need in rush. They said it will cost P500($10) but the printing isn't included yet P3 ($0.06) when it is colored per page. We don't have a choice but to grab this since we can get it on the said deadline, they can finish it in just one day. We need three copies. I send a copy of our thesis for them to check and count how much it will cost all and they replied that it will cost P740 each so we need three copies a total of P2220 but they give a discount so we pay P2200($42.86). Since we are 5 in the group we divided the amount and we pay P440 each. Even if it is expensive we have no choice, we don't want to receive a 7 in our grade.
Exactly January 7 in the afternoon, our thesis hardbound is finished. Since my groupmate who happened to be near the place of the store don't have his rest day yet we can't get our book, I asked favor to them If they can send me at least a picture of the book since this is needed. There's a new protocol in our university and no one is allowed to go there because of the pandemic and that they just need proof that we hardbound our thesis paper. The photo above is the one I send to our GC in the thesis.
We can pass our thesis hardbound on time so we have a grade that I think we deserve. (I do not intend to brag about it I'm just happy with the result of our hardships.)
This is the certificate that we received via Gmail. I am so happy with the outcomes of our thesis and now we successfully finished it with outstanding results.
I'm thankful to those people who keep on supporting me and motivating me, especially my parent and friends. Also my virtual friends here. And to God who gives us wisdom and courage to finish our paper.
Thank you for reading guys. Keep safe all.

Sickness please leave us alone!
January 7, 2021
How's your day so far people? Are you well? I hope you are.
The first week of 2022 didn't go well for us here in the Philippines. Many people got sick. Cough, cold, and fever are some symptoms that many people here experiencing. If you are paranoid then you might think immediately that what if it is the omicron variant? But the virus isn't the only reason here, it starts in the mod of December if I'm not mistaken the weather became extremely cold and until the start of 2022, January. They say it's because of the cold weather. Medicines like paracetamol had a shortage since people I guess do a panic buying like what happened before and also fake medicines are everywhere so we should be careful and observant to the ones we buy. It's sad to say that there are still greedy people who just want to earn money.
I also catch the flu. I still have a cough now but not like in the first, I don't have a fever anymore. I tried the home remedy which is to drink hot water with calamansi and a pinch of salt and so far it's quite effective. It lessens the itchiness of my throat. Even though I'm here in our house, I still wearing a face mask for my baby's safety. I don't want him to catch the flu. It's okay that I'm the one who sicks not my baby.
In the other house, my sisters are sick too, they have a cough so they also make calamansi, snow bear candy, and hot water. My father had a fever with a cough but now he said that he's quite better. And even though he's sick he doesn't absent from his work. It's hard to find medicine here even in the drugstore.
Since we are in alert level 3, children aged 17 and below are not allowed to go outside, and also those people who don't have a vaccination card. When you go outside you need to bring your vaccinations card because the police might give you a ticket that you need to pay. They also bring back the curfew hours and the restrictions in different activities. And there are rumors that there will be another lockdown here but of course, we shouldn't easily believe it cause fake news is also everywhere and no announcement yet.
For now, I just want my family and me to get well soonest and also those people who have been sick. And those who don't have flu follow the safety protocol. Wash your hands always and use a face mask and alcohol. If you don't have something important to do outside please just stay at your home. It's better to be safe, especially nowadays that flu is everywhere.
I saw a meme post on Facebook saying " nag send to all ng trangkaso is 2021 bago umalis. (2021 has sent flu to all before leaving). Well, it's somehow true but let's not blame the year. There are just people who are very hard-headed and neglect the safety protocol without thinking about its consequences.
*Please stay safe people. Health is wealth so we should take care of it.*
