My baby turns three months:Spiderman baby
January 5, 2022
`Okay, I guess I need to check the year first before publishing since I always tend to put the year 2021 instead of the year 2022 haha. I know I need to get over in the year 2021 but I'm used to putting 2021 before that's why XD.`
Well anyway, let's move on to my topic. Last December 3, 2021, my baby turns two months old and the theme we had is Batman which he wears a costume with a batman print. It's our tradition to celebrate every month until he reaches 1 year old. We also decided to wear him a superhero costume. In his first month, my baby portrays superman, he wears clothes with superman's design and his cake is also superman's theme. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/turns-two-monthbatman-baby-0550af2e https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/one-month-superman-baby-1b53361a
And now, last January 3, 2022, my baby just turned three months old. See, time is flying so fast it looks like yesterday I just gave birth to my son, and now he is three months already. See below our simple celebration for him.
As we usually do, we ordered a cake from our favorite seller, we used to order a cake since the first month of my baby. Her cake tastes good and she can make the design I want. I just send her the design and ask her if she can do it and her answer is always a yes that made me choose her always. She used to deliver the cake near in my area but this time she messaged me that there is an emergency in their home and that her child is sick so she can't leave him alone, she then ask us a favor if we can pick up the cake she gave us her address and cellphone number. I told my partner that we are the ones who pick up the cake since the seller have an emergency. The seller said we just need to ride a jeep and tell the driver her address but I'm quite annoyed with the jeepney driver because we said the address where he can drop us since we don't know the place but ended up he didn't listen and when I ask him again if we are near to the place he asks where and we said the street he told us that we exceeded already and guess what we are far already to the said address hays so when I called the seller and said what happened and that we need to ride again a jeep back to where her location she said she will wait for us in the highway. When we reached the destination she keeps on apologizing to us even though I already told her that it's fine. She gave us a P100 ($2) discount. So we pay her P500($10) instead of P600($12).
While heading home I told my partner to buy pizza but I changed my mind and we just buy Lechon manok and when we saw a Goldilocks store, we enter and buy a buttered puto.
We did a DIY photoshoot in our house. The onesie spiderman that my baby wears was ordered online. It fits him well and love the cotton of it. He's in the mood to take pictures so we don't have a problem while taking these photos.
Okay guys he's surrender. Haha! This is his favorite position when he is sleeping. Hands up, he wants to raise his two arms. When we see this position of him, we will know that he's already sleeping. Look likes he was cooperating with us.
He wants to put his finger on her mouth and lick it that's why we always clean his fingers. Sometimes he will create sound while sipping his fingers, and sometimes it's his way of saying that he is already hungry.
*See how my baby grows so fast. He knows now how to play and he's very cheerful. He wants to smile and knows how to laugh also. Whenever we are eating he will look at our food and move his lips as if he is tempting to the food. He spends the whole day sleeping while when dawn comes he's awake so we need to stay awake also but it's okay we will sleep when morning comes. Seeing him smiling is priceless, all my worries and stress fade away. I will cherish the moment while he still a baby.*

Celebrating new year
January 1, 2021
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! WELCOME 2022
Since December 30, our neighbor was playing loud music and others are having their videoke already. They celebrated long for the new year. Since the new year comes people don't mind loud noises.
Anyways, do you feel the coldness guys? Here in our place, it's been cold since yesterday and this is making me sleepy now but no I won't let this day end without publishing an article. This is the first day of 2022 so I need to write.
Image **source** https://www.google.com/search?q=2022+balloon&prmd=invx&sxsrf=AOaemvInH1JKcsAjnMY3R-OatzrXNl8UBg:1641039167557&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjA3pOlw5D1AhWRZd4KHQEXDnEQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=360&bih=552&dpr=2#imgrc=20dU2AaY1HVccM
Yesterday, people are busy preparing for media noche. Markets are crowded and some children and adults holding a basket or basin that have a paper where you can read the word happy new year, they are asking for coins.
Here in house people are busy also when we arrived. I saw my father and sister just arrive also from the supermarket, they buy ingredients and also alcoholic drinks. My father marinated pork that they grilled in the afternoon and make a buko salad. We don't have mango float since last Christmas we made one. While my sister prepares Shanghai and spaghetti.
Since there are loud noises outside and our house is near the highway, there are people who drive their motorcycles creating a loud sound, my baby can't sleep because he keeps on being startled. So my father created a hammock for him and look he had a good sleep.
There's the announcement that no one is allowed to use firecrackers and just use any things that can make sound but we are still hearing some firecrackers outside early in the afternoon. People are hard-headed hehe.
These are the fruits that my father and sister bought on the market. I told them that it should be 12 different fruits that have a round shape so we added some.
I forgot to put the calderetang baboy on our table. These are all the foods that we had on new year's eve. We didn't make a lot since last Christmas foods got spoiled because they didn't eat them. We have fruit salad, Biko, grilled pork and calderetang baby and also there's a cake that gave by my sister's mother in law.
We also have ham but we didn't cook it, they stock it in the ref. That's our viand tonight hehe.
When it's already 11 pm we changed clothes already and go downstairs for the countdown. We take a video while we are counting and when midnight comes, we shouted happy new year and greet each other. We have also music and we party hehe. There are many firecrackers outside. My sisters go outside and watch it. While I and my partner didn't go out because we don't want our baby to smell the smell of firecrackers. So we just waited for them while watching the fireworks in the window.
Since we can't go outside we just take pictures. Happy new year everyone from my little family. Seems that my baby doesn't want to take a picture XD.
These are my sisters and the one in front is my niece. Look at my hair guys I make it short. New year, new hair? Eh?
My father drives his motorcycle on the highway like others creating a loud noise while I just get a cauldron and put found inside then I shake it to make a noise, they say when you are making noises the bad luck will go away. I also throw coins on the floor which my little sister and niece get.
We had a simple celebration during new year's eve yet we are happy welcoming year 2022. How about you guys? How did you spend your new year?
May this year be a blissful and fruitful year for us. Happy new year again guys!

Highlights of my 2021: Feeling grateful
December 30, 2021
**Lead image source** https://www.google.com/search?q=thank+you&prmd=ivmxn&sxsrf=AOaemvI5x36tbPmu9dy_eqxQJ-ZJlDRKOA:1640873527899&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiCiIGe2ov1AhUJQd4KHTyzDqIQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ#imgrc=Fzp_OZGQ52Mf8M
Good day people! One more day to go, the year 2021 will finally bid goodbye to us. Are you ready for new year's eve tomorrow evening? Did you buy lots of round fruits as they say these are lucky and money? We're here at my partner's house so I don't know what's the preparation in our house but tomorrow we will go back and spend our new year's eve there.
The year 2021 is tough yet a blessing year for me. I have learned and experienced so many things that make me who I am now. It was a roller coaster year for me. I will be going to share now with you what's the important events that happened in my life this year.
When January 2021 enter last year, my whole life change as I didn't expect a blessing that I will be going to receive this year.
I discovered that I am pregnant. And last October 3, 2021, I gave birth to my son. This is what I considered as the big changes in my life. From being a student to being a mom. There are many adjustments but thank God that I carry all of this. It's not easy but some people especially my family supported me in my journey during my pregnancy. Now, we have our baby by our side, our source of happiness. The pain is all worth it. And now my baby is turning three months old next year. Ow, in a few days I mean. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/of-pain-and-joy-meet-my-little-one-8a1943c4
We defended our thesis! Yey, finally this year we finished and defended our thesis. We exerted so much effort with this and the pandemic added to our burdens while doing our thesis before. It's hard to find respondents online but we made it. Last December 8, 2021, that's the date of our defense day. And it's successful. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/thesis-defended-lets-celebrate-9a0de05d
I **won** in a raffle and **giveaways**. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/unexpected-winningsam-i-that-lucky-cd88144d https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/am-i-luckygiveaway-promo-af768613
I discovered awesome **platforms** https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/readcash-and-noisecashthey-missed-these-awesome-platforms-4e67b181
*Yes, that's read.cash and noise.*
It was June when I've got to know about noise.cash and read.cash. It helps me a lot in terms of finances, I found an extra income while I am studying online. At that time I always have a problem because of our bills in our house since I stand as the head of the family before, my father is staying into his work, and my big sister is in the province at that time. Since the budget that my father gave isn't enough to cover all the expenses so I look for a way to earn extra income and that's where I discovered these platforms.
At first, earnings is what I'm looking forward to in these platforms but when I've got to know more about these aside from earnings I've got to know different people in different places. I gained virtual friends with whom I interact always. They supported me in my journey here. I learned about crypto but I admit I'm scared to dive into trading and staking thingy. I'm still learning.
I'm thankful to all of the sponsors and the admin of these amazing platforms. Because of you guys, we have a way to express ourselves by writing. Hopefully, these platforms will live longer.
We have lots of things that we should be thankful for. Before this year ends in a few days, don't forget to thank God for the blessings that we received in the past 12 months. Not just a blessing but we also learned from our past experiences good or bad. We should also be grateful to the people that suddenly became our friends virtually or not this year.
***Let's say goodbye to the year 2021 with a smile on our faces and face the year 2022 with full of positivity in life. May the year 2022 be a blissful year for all of us***.
`To all of my sponsors, thank you for always renew your sponsorship. I may not always post about your renewal but know that I'm always grateful.`

Thankful to my scholarship
December 29, 2021
Hello everyone! How are you all? I hope you're doing fine :)
I've got this idea to @imanagrcltrst article thanks and sorry for the tag :) https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/perks-of-being-a-scholar-it-enables-me-to-46ec4e88#comment-29957afa
You all know that I am a college student, a graduating one. Last one semester then I am now able to wear a black toga holding my certificate. Yes, by God's grace I will be able to graduate next year cum laude or not as long as I graduate that's all that matters.
Being a student, especially a college student isn't easy emotionally, mentally, and financially. You need to have money to pay for the expenses. Books, uniforms, and the facilities have fees that we, the students need to pay. But I'm thankful that I am in the state university, we have free tuition. Despite having free tuition were still required to buy books which cost not lower than P300 ($6) and imagine we all have many subjects and when all required us to buy books, it costs us a lot. So aside from the money that our parents give to us, we need to have an extra allowance and a scholarship is one of the answers that every student need.
It's not easy to have a scholarship, fortunately, in my case, I don't need to apply for it since I graduated with high honors during my senior high school, it's automatic that I will be included in the scholarship of our congressman which is under by CHED. But my other classmates told me to come with them, they will be going to apply to CMCS which is under by one of our councilors here. So we took the exam. We passed the exam when they call all the passers for orientation, I didn't attend because I'm thinking that time that I am already a scholar of our congressman and maybe my name will be traced and we're not allowed to have multiple scholarships also I want to give a chance to others. I also don't want to be in trouble.
Even though our allowance is delayed always, I'm still grateful for it. Better late than none hehe. So I received 6k each semester. But because of the delay I always received my allowance in the first and second semesters together. I received my allowance (stipend) for my first year (1st and 2nd semesters) during my second year and last month I received my allowance for my second year. See? How delayed it is.
Where did I spend my allowance
When I received my first allowance, I am very happy because that is the first time that I will be receiving an allowance from my scholarship. One year of waiting hehe.
I gave some to my father and siblings. I also buy books that I don't have yet. I also gave money that is intended to buy groceries in our house. I also treat my friends since they know that I received allowance because it's posted on the group page of our university. And because I received it in December, I used some in buying gifts.
Last **November 22****,** my allowance was released and we can claim it at our university. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/vaccinethey-said-its-not-mandatory-but-444b3200
Where did it go?
As you can see I received a total amount of P12,000. Here's where I spend it.
I buy donuts as pasalubong for my siblings and I also give them money.
Since we're living in my partner's place. I give some to his mother for the budget.
My two sisters are celebrating their birthdays the next day so I gave them money to buy foods that need for their celebrations. I also bought presents for them.
My partner's teeth were ruined so I told him to have dentures. We went to the dental clinic and inquire about the prices. Now he can smile widely hehe.
We're in an online class so books are not required. The rest of the money, I saved and add to my baby's baptism https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/he-already-baptizedwelcome-to-the-christian-world-5b5f6fda
I'm grateful that I am one of the scholars of CHED automatically for it's hard to apply through a walk-in. But when you are a scholar you need to deal with having a maintaining grade for you not to kick out of the scholarship program.
So if you are a scholar now, be grateful and don't lose you scholarship by studying well. But don't pressure yourself too much and just enjoy while learning.

Gifts that my baby received
December 28, 2021
Hello people! A few more days before 2021 bid its goodbye to us. I know all of us learned from this year. What're your best key takeaways or your highlights in this year that changes your lives? I'm planning to write mine after this article. I hope you enjoy the remaining days we have.
Gifts are always present whenever there are special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, christening, Christmas, etc. Whenever someone invites you for a celebration you prepare gifts for them.
Today, I will be sharing with you the gifts that my baby received during his christening and Christmas. There are many gifts that he received. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/he-already-baptizedwelcome-to-the-christian-world-5b5f6fda
The gifts
These are the gifts that my baby received during his christening.
DIY envelop with printed faces
These envelopes are from all our councilors and our mayor that we get as godparents of my baby. Some went to the church personally but others have their assistant just give the envelope to us, maybe they are too busy or they don't want to expose outside waiting for their godchildren to arrive.
Clothes
These are the first clothes, a terno which have an army design. The godparent who gave this to my baby is generous since he bought two pairs.
The trending before, squid game. I saw many vendors selling clothes with this design. It's cute tho. At first, when we opened the gift these clothes had a word squid game but it was slowly removed maybe because the sticker is not attached well. Still, it looks good even without the word squid game.
I love this one. It's from my best friend since high school. He's writing here before but became inactive. It has a design of a cars cartoon.
Toys
I think these will be played by my baby when he turns 7 months already. But right now, he doesn't know how to play these. Plus, he might bang these on his face.
I don't know what the name of these two is but my big sister the big one is like a pacifier but you can put fruit inside, my baby will just lick the outside. And the other one is one you put in the shirt of the baby and put there the pacifier so that it won't fall down the floor.
During Christmas
Clothes
Another bunch of clothes he receives on Christmas day.
This one has a car design. And look at the short it's cute, isn't it? Hehe! Love the shape of it. It fits my baby well I guess.
Of course, I bought a gift for my baby and here it is. A shirt and shorts with coco melon print. It looks cute too and my baby wants coco melon but the only sound he likes is the wheel on the bus. When the sound changed he will be going to cry.
Another one with Adidas design.
This one has an iron man print.
The last gift that he received. His godparent gave this yesterday as a late gift. Do you know Luffy of one piece? He's the one printed on the shirt. It's quite big for my baby but it's okay, we will just keep it until it fits my baby.
Socks
This one is from my little sister. They went to the mall near here in our place and she said it's cute for my baby. She loves her nephew so much hehe. She's the playmate of my son whenever we visited our house.
Ampao
Aside from clothes and toys, we also received an ampao or red envelope with cash inside it.
So there you go, those are the gifts that my baby received. I'm excited for my baby to wear all those clothes that he received. He's turning three months old next month and I'm thinking who's superhero hell gonna portray this time hehe. My baby is growing so fast. I know I need to cherish all the moments while he's still a baby because it's never the same when he grows up. He is the big blessing that God gave us this year.
Thank you all for reading :)

My christmas day
December 27, 2021
***Are your Christmas merry guys? Did you enjoy it? Did you receive or did you give many presents?***
We all have a different way on how to celebrate Christmas day. Some spend it together with their family, some with their friends, some on their work and some spend it alone. While scrolling on FB, I saw lots of posts about Christmas parties and I envy them a lot. We don't have a Christmas party here unlike before. I also saw some have an outing, they spend their Christmas in pools and beaches. All are enjoying the holidays.
Despite not having a Christmas party, I can say that my Christmas went well. This is the first Christmas of my baby and we spend it with my family here in our house. We didn't prepare much food, but we do have lots of desserts which I didn't eat much since I have tonsillitis that day, poor me. I only eat spaghetti and ham, also a little mango float.
This is the onesie that I ordered online so that my baby will wear this at Christmas time. I'm quite disappointed because the button got ruined immediately, it didn't attach well. But still, my baby wears it we just need to repair it.
When it is quarter to twelve, we change the clothes of my baby. And go upstairs because that's where the foods are and we eat there.
When the countdown is finished and it's midnight already, we took a picture together and here's the picture of my father carrying his grandson. Before midnight my father is in a bad mood because of his girlfriend abroad, they keep fighting for some little things. Thanks to my baby my father is in a good mood when the time of Christmas. I don't want to ruin this special day because my father and his girlfriend are fighting.
We have a small space so we need to compress while taking pictures hehe. Look at me, only my head was captured XD.
This is my small family, my partner and our baby. We choose the red colour of the shirt since it's one of the color of Christmas. My baby knows now how to look at the camera.
I told you, we have more desserts than the main course. We only have spaghetti and ham. And for the desserts, we have Leche flan, Bulo salad, Mango float and ube. Unfortunately, I had tonsillitis that day so I didn't eat much dessert. Such a KJ.
My Christmas went smooth. I spend it with my family and with my baby. I am happy that even though we don't have any games or parties, we still celebrate Christmas together. And in the morning, my baby went to some of his grandparents. When afternoon comes, we stayed inside. People outside our house are drinking until night. Our neighbours are having a happy time also as they keep on singing until night. All are having their party before and during that day. Loud music, disco lights and people drinking are everywhere.
Now that Christmas is already passed us by. I hope the good deeds that we have done will remain and we continue to spread kindness even though it's not Christmas day.
**The year 2022 is coming. Let's be ready for that. Think of what you have done which given significance in your life for the past 12 months.**
Visit my awesome sponsors :) they all have amazing works.
Gambling:It can make the devil inside us out
December **~~24~~**, 26, 2021
**Lead image source** https://unsplash.com/photos/IU4UKIfPqEQ
I know this isn't the right topic for this holiday but I just want to publish this drafted article of mine since I want to share some stories in regards to this issue. A negative impact on those people who got addicted to gambling and the people surrounding them.
`Gambling - the betting or staking of something of value, with consciousness of risk and hope of gain, on the outcome of a game, a contest, or an uncertain event whose result may be determined by chance or accident or have an unexpected result because of the bettor’s miscalculation.`
Source https://www.britannica.com/topic/gambling
There are different types of games that people gamble their money such as horse racing, casino, cards, and the trend nowadays is the online sabong(cockfight). There are many and I won't mention all.
At first, people will just play for fun. Just a few cents only. They win sometimes they will lose. When they won, some won't stop and some will stop already to secure their winnings. When they lose, some won't stop with the hope of bringing back the money they lose to the point that all their money will go to it.
When they get addicted to it they do something from bad to worse things.
***I know some people who got addicted to gambling personally and these are the things they are capable of doing just for gambling:***
The first person I know - while playing cards, he keeps on losing and he suddenly punches his playmate saying he got tricked by them. He was so frustrated because of losses.
The second person - a friend of mine, she's a girl. My big sister and she used to play cards every afternoon. Remember my best friend asyla? She's the one who told me this. While she's watching, she noticed how our friend does a cheat. Our friend has a fast hand, she down her cards saying that she has a low number but they didn't know that she pinched the one card to the other making her cards lower. My big sister already knew it but she's shy about telling our friend. Now they didn't play anymore and it's good to avoid conflict. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/think-it-is-worth-it-did-they-forgive-and-forget-56ba4b05
The third person is the worst - he has done the worst thing. He's kind and silent, that's what I know about him BEFORE when he doesn't know how to gamble. But when online gambling became a trend, he tried online cockfight, at first, he tried only a few amounts like 100 down but when he got bored he tried the one that has a huge amount of bet the minimum is P100 and up. You can't play with your P50. He only cash in P300 and uses it to play but he keeps on losing. Time goes by, he knows already how to choose a good rooster so he won a huge amount that last for two days and the next few days remaining he keeps on losing to the point that he loses all his money. He didn't go to his work for the sake of playing, he plays from morning till morning yes he didn't sleep. Since he doesn't go to work, he doesn't have a salary.
The things he did. He opened the piggy bank of his nephew without his sister knowing. He keeps on getting money from there. Second, his relationship with his wife is not good anymore, they keep fighting because of money. Her wife has money also because it has a sideline, even though his wife hides the money, he can find it. Third, his phone got pawned. For the sake of having money that he can use for playing, he did pawn his phone and told his wife that his sister borrow it. But later on, his wife knew about his phone and they fight.
See? That's what gambling can do to us. There are lots of bad effects of it to the person especially when they got addicted to it. It changes the person's behaviour and character. It pushes them to do inappropriate things. Many things and relationships will ruin because of this. And what worst? Some lose everything even their sanity or they will suffer from depression.
Gambling isn't the solution to earn money, it can make your money disappear without you knowing how much you lose. The next thing you know, you don't have anything. You may lose not only your money but also the people surrounding you. So you better stop gambling your money before it's late. They say regret is always in the last. And I believe in that quote.
Think before you gamble your money.

He already baptized:Welcome to the Christian world!
December 23, 2021
Good day and advance Merry Christmas guys! How are you doing? Did you buy Christmas gifts already? 2 more days, it's Christmas already! Are you excited?
I planned to write an article yesterday but I was sick so I postponed it. Now, I am getting better so I will take this opportunity to publish one.
Last December 19, 2021, my baby became a Christian already. That day was the schedule of his baptism. The theme of his invitation is baby boss hehe isn't cute? His head was fit to the body of the baby boss photo.
Before his baptism, my partner and I give an invitation to our city halls official such as councillors and our mayor because we put their name as godparents of my baby. That's the advice of my friends so that we can bring back the money that we use. those officials will go to church and wait for their godchildren and they will give you an envelope with money inside of it.
One of my baby's godparents. Our councillor here. We also have pictures of the others but the camera used in taking a photo is theirs so we're just waiting for them to upload the pic on their FB page. My baby is sleeping haha.
In our church, they only allowed one godfather and godmother to enter with vaccination cards. My baby is sleeping even though there are noises in the surrounding.
When the priest poured water on my baby's head, my baby wakes up maybe because the water is cold but he didn't cry.
My partner and my big sister prepare the food. They started cooking at 5 am. While I and my friend which is also the godmother of my baby put decorations.
My father said to me to order a head of the pig. He's the one who pays for it, it costs P1600 ($31.97). I also ordered a cupcake with the baby boss theme.
This is the souvenir that we give to our visitors, a shot glass with my baby's face print hehe.
These are the gifts from his godparents. Those with a print of faces are from our city officials. We received clothes, toys and cash. We're planning to spend the cash on buying stuff for him.
Welcome to the Christian world baby. Our baby is now baptized. We're happy that his baptism is successful even though we only have a simple celebration. The rain was also poured that day it started at night till morning. Fortunately, when it's already 10 in the morning it stops. When we arrived at the church, the first batch didn't finish yet so we need to wait.
My baby didn't cry inside the church. He just sleeps there. We're happy for him now he can go outside already but of course, we didn't let him go outside since we are still in pandemics. It's not yet safe to roam outside.
Christmas memories:What's the thing I want but we don't have
December **~~16~~** 21 2021
Is this real? It's already 9 (4) days before Christmas? Oh well, yes this is real. Time is flying so fast so the dates are. I've been thinking about what I'm gonna share with you about Christmas. I already submitted my entry to the challenge prepared by **gertu** about Christmas and also the challenge initiated by **Coquicoin.**
Writing about Christmas be it your wish, your memories or gifts that you want during Christmas is fun. It gives us joy and excitement.
When Christmas is near, people prepare Christmas decorations in their houses, in their community and their offices. Government officials put a design on the highways such as lights and lanterns to make the road colourful then malls have their Christmas decorations too which people are amazed when they saw it. Big Santa Claus, Christmas tree, Christmas lights, etc. which gives the place a Christmas vibe.
When I was in high school, our teacher asked us to bring Christmas decorations such as lanterns (patrol) and of course the flower poinsettia (i don't know if I spell it correctly, too lazy to search on it hehe, sorry) so that we have decorations in our room. And sometimes they let us do a lantern ourselves and I enjoyed it.
I am excited to help in putting decorations because in our house we don't have any. We didn't design our house, unlike others. Maybe the reason of my mother is that our house is not big and we don't know where to put those decorations. I envy other houses in my neighborhood that has a Christmas light, Christmas trees and other Christmas decors inside and outside of their house.
Before when I was a kid, the thing that I want when Christmas comes is the Christmas tree. I really want a Christmas tree in our house but we didn't buy one. My mom said it will be stock and ruined when Christmas ends so we didn't try to put a Christmas tree in our house. Our house during Christmas is like a usual house. You can't see any design. But one Christmas when I and my mother went to church, we saw there a vendor who sells Christmas lights with the shape of the star so I asked her if we can buy them and put them in our house. I'm glad she said yes and buy one. We decorate it inside our window but we barely light it up since it needs to plug into the outlet and we need to be thrift in electricity.
I am amazed and my eyes are widened when I've got to see a Christmas tree in the malls, city hall, or beside the highways especially if the Christmas tree is huge and the design is beautiful but all Christmas trees are beautiful and amazing. When artists and bloggers are sharing their Christmas tree decorations, I am happy while watching them because of the design of their Christmas tree, they have different themes and designs. There are white, blue and green Christmas trees. This Christmas tree above is located in our city hall.
This is the Christmas tree that I saw beside our highway near the church. When night comes, this Christmas tree will light up. unfortunately, I wasn't able to witness that scene since it happened at night.
This one looks simple yet still beautiful. This is the Christmas tree decoration in one of the malls here. My partner sent this to me since his work is near there.
My sisters and niece are in the mall. They went there and saw this Christmas tree. This one is the Christmas tree in Megamall. I would love to take a picture with it but I can't go to the mall.
In our province, my relatives have decorations in their houses since their houses are big and wide. When we spent our Christmas in the province, I enjoyed it there, all houses have their Christmas decorations. You can feel that Christmas is coming. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/last-christmas-memory-with-the-person-special-to-me-5213067a
Christmas decorations such as the Christmas tree gives us the feeling of joy and excitement when we see this display it means that Christmas is near. Although we don't have any Christmas decorations in our house here, still our family is happy during Christmas. The love we have and we give to each other is priceless. Even though our house doesn't have Christmas decors, it fills with so much love and contentment and I want to say thank you to our Lord because He gave me my family. I'm contented with what we have now with or without a Christmas tree. But maybe next Christmas our house will have a Christmas tree, a giant one. Hehe who knows, I will work on it.
I made this out of my baby's diaper hehe. I can't go out so this is what I think that I can form a word of READ.
I also created a word CASH hehe.
This is my entry to the #ChristmasChallenge2021 that was initiated by Kuya ed @TengoLoTodo
It's still December 21st so I guess I'm still in hehe. Quite late tho, I've been busy these few weeks.
ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
-**Loveleng18**
I would like to apologize for being inactive here, I just need to review for our final examination this coming Saturday. As much as I want to write and publish an article I can't. I've also had an emotional breakdown these few days. I will catch up once I'm okay mentally, emotionally, and physically.
My purchases before 12.12 sale
December 14, 2021
**It's been two days since my last published article. Apologise for being inactive here, I'm busy preparing for my baby's baptism this December 19, 2021. I'm gonna share another article about that. I'm excited hehe.**
*Please let me ask how are you doing? Christmas is about to come, for about 11 days. What's your plan?*
So today I will be going to share with you some of the items that I purchased before the 12.12 sale. Yes, I didn't wait for the 12.12 since there are items that have an advance sale or have a cheap price.
My sister messaged me saying that she will be attending the anniversary in their church that will be held in the hotel but there's a fee worth P500, I told her if she wants to go then she said yes because all of her friends are coming too. I said to her that I will give her money for payment and she ask money from our father for her extra. Tomorrow morning she said that they are already free so no need to pay P500. She then asked me if I can buy her a dress which I said yes. I look for a dress in shopee. She also said that she wants sandals too. I'm having a hard time guessing what she wants so u told her to download the app and look by herself.
This is the dress that my sister wants me to buy it cost P158 ($3.14).
And this is the sandals she found in shopee. It's worth P(140). I told her before I check it out that she ask money from our father but ended up I am the one who pay for this too. I got scam XD.
Look at my sister wearing the dress and sandals that I ordered online. She's wearing a light pink dress and black sandals with long hair.
She sends it to me. She even sends me food there, she's teasing me duh haha I can say that their foods are delicious.
Mini aircon/fan. You can insert water on it to make the wind cool. As you can see it's worth P99 only. I bought this for my baby, during the evening we used to turn off the electric fan because of coldness yet my baby is sweating so we bear the coldness and just put blanket. With this, we can turn off the electric fan then we used this and put it near my baby. I love this item. I rate it 5 stars.
I already received it.
Again, this coming Sunday is my baby's baptism and so I ordered some decorations online. The items' prices are cheap compared to when we buy outside.
This is a balloon, I choose the colour blue. This has a print with the words baby's christening. I also ordered a balloon stick. The total of these is worth P103 with the shipping fee.
This one is a banner. The words are happy christening, of course, I choose again colour blue. See the price it's very cheap whereas here in the physical store it cost about P100 then in online it only costs P29. See a big difference hehe.
This one is like a background, it is a foil curtain and I choose light blue and when it arrived it looks like grey haha. But it's okay I only buy it at a cheap price. If only I choose the dark blue one haha.
I also ordered a dress for me, the same colour as my sister but I forgot to take a photo of it. I will wear it this coming Sunday. I'm glad I'm able to buy myself finally hehe.
And now while writing this one my sister messaged me again and ask me if I have a free shipping voucher because she wants to buy an iron curl keme for her hair unfortunately when I checked my shopee I don't have free shipping left and it cost P88 with free shipping.
She said she's not going to buy it already because of the price and I pity her so in thinking to place it in order and just add her money.
Okayyyy, those are the items that I purchased online. The price is already cheap like it has a sale. I'm happy too that I have a new dress. I'm excited to wear it on Sunday guys and take a selfie. Maybe I will share it with you too. Online shops are indeed a great help to us. We can save more money since we can buy the items we want at a cheap price.
Thank you to all my sponsors. And to @fantagirai for sponsoring me again. And kuya Ed @TengoLoTodo for renewing sponsorship with a generous amount. Aww, this is really good news to me and it motivates me more to just continue writing. God bless us all.
Last Christmas memory with the person special to me
December 10, 2021
15 days before Christmas. It's amazing how time flies so fast right? A few more days then we will welcome the year 2022. Do you have any reflections from the previous months? What new things did you learn? And who are the persons you've met and known? What blessings did you receive? I'm sure you received a lot. Hehe, let's thank God for that.
Among the months we have, December is my favorite. Why? Because people become a giver and they show love with each other. Love is everywhere as I describe it. It's the season of giving and sharing. No hate and just love. No more negative vibes, that's why I love December because of Christmas.
Today I will be going to share with you my favorite Christmas memory and why it is my favorite. It will be going to be a wee dramatic, my advance apology to all of you but it's just I want to reminisce about the moment I had together with my mother during Christmas.
But before that, I just want to share with you this Christmas decoration that I captured a while ago before we went to church.
This memorable Christmas of mine happened last 2018 in our province. We went to our province to spend Christmas there and also for my mom to breathe fresh air. She's already sick during that time before we went to the province I accompany her to the mall because she wants to buy a wig since her hair slowly falling.
We arrived at the airport in our province. We were so happy. Finally, we will be able to spend Christmas there together with our relatives because in Manila we don't have relatives that are close to our location. Look how happy we are.
We went there last December 18, 2018, we stay there until December 28. Because my father already has worked so we need to go back immediately. But mind you, even if it is only 10 days vacation, we enjoyed it.
At first in the morning, we went to the beach and go swimming. They said maybe, my mother needs it for her skin. The beach is near our house there and they have motors so it's easy to go there.
The night before Christmas we went to the park there, there are lots of Christmas decors and rides. We enjoyed that night riding and taking pictures.
When we arrived there, we took a picture first. I am amazed at the place it's wide and there are many rides and foods also Christmas decors.
I took a picture of them with the background of the big gift. At first, they are shy because many people also want to take a picture there but I cheer them so they pose there and let me take a picture.
Look how happy my mom is when we are in Manila before we went to the province she barely smile and don't even laugh even if we talk a joke to her, she's upset with her condition. She even told her friend that what if she left us, who will gonna take care of us. Ah, let me skip that one my tears are likely to fall now.
I am their photographer that night so I don't belong to them there in the picture. If only I know that is the last photo of my mother smiling big, I would gladly join them too. I'm happy that time seeing her happy and enjoying herself even though I know she suffers pain.
My mom volunteered herself to take us a picture there. And here's the result. I'm standing at the last hehe. That's a stage where there are Christmas lanterns and Christmas lights.
Look at us, our background is beautiful because of the lights, there's a fountain there. My sister and I are close even though we have different mothers since my mother is the one who raised them before, that's also the reason why they are close to my mother.
I didn't find the other photos that include the pictures of the rides and other Christmas decors, maybe I haven't uploaded it on FB before.
That's the night where I saw my mother happy again, she enjoyed it so much. My mother is not fond of pictures so I just have a few pictures of her. When Christmas comes, we also enjoyed it. There are many foods and we have a Christmas party. We exchange gifts.
Even though it happened almost 3 years ago the memories are still fresh in my mind. The smile of my mother when we are there, I can still picture it out in my mind. She enjoys Christmas there a lot. And I hope that happens again but I know it's impossible for she is already in heaven.
When she died, when Christmas comes seems like something is missing in me. My joy isn't full and I'm longing for my mothers hug when I greet her merry Christmas. But now that I have my little one, I know it fills in the missing piece in me. My mother wants me to be happy every Christmas I know.
*This was the Christmas that is memorable to me because I'm with the person who's special to me,* ***my mom****.*
This is my **entry** to the challenge initiated by @gertu13u "**Hey you this is the promised, Christmas contest**" you're free to join until December 15 only. https://read.cash/@gertu13/hey-you-this-is-the-promised-christmas-contest-d0bcd659

Ate @Farmgirl thank you for the sponsorship renewal. This makes my morning beautiful hehe :)
A christmas gift for you
December 8, 2021
Hello people how are you all? It's a holiday today here but still, I have loads of activities in my online class. I thought we deserve a rest since we just finished our **thesis defense**. I almost forgot we have other subjects and later we will have a synchronous because my professor was to finish already our lesson for this semester since the Christmas break is almost here. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/thesis-defended-lets-celebrate-541af67b
Speaking of Christmas, what do you look forward to when it comes? Are you excited to receive a gift? A bonus? Or a 13th month pay? Are you looking forward to vacation?
Christmas is a season of giving but let's normalize giving to people even if it is not Christmas especially when that person needs your help.
***This coming Christmas, I will be more generous and I want to give presents to specific persons. Giving gifts is what I want the most, I prefer to give than to receive but if I receive something I'll be grateful to that person who gives me a present.***

I read the previous article that she missed riding in a **Ferris wheel** together with her siblings so I will be going to buy a ticket to an enchanted kingdom for her and also for her family, not just her siblings but included her parents. She also mentioned in her previous article that she spend her Christmas alone during the pandemic if I remember it correctly (correct me if I'm the wrong sis hehe). So I'm gonna give you this ticket which includes a ride all you can without a limit so that they will enjoy riding what they what there. I have been there before and I enjoyed the rides especially the roller coaster and space shuttle so I know that sis@JRamona20 will enjoy there.

The second gift belongs to uncle Luci @Lucifer01 yes, this is my present to you :) I read that your mom gives you a bicycle as a gift and you love it even though it is old already you still don't want to change it but I also read that you prefer now to use a motorbike when going to your work so this one is for you. I intentionally choose that color because I know it suits you. A devil Lucifer with a kind heart. Hope you like it.
I want to give this as a gift to ate @Bloghound, I'm always amazed at her photograph, even if she uses her phone it still look beautiful a jaw-dropping scenery is what she likes to share and also beautiful shots of plants. So I want to give her this one. Who knows one day she will become a professional photographer, she has a talent when it comes to photography.
I also want to add this as my gift to her but this is for her lovely daughter. I read if I remember it correctly that her daughter wants to draw. I'm looking forward to her drawings.

Thesis Defended: Let's celebrate!
December 7, 2021
Good day people! It's Tuesday, CHOOSEDAY. I choose to be happy and positive today. Let's also choose to be kind and appreciative. Can we do that? Of course, we can it's easy, isn't it? I wonder why there are people who choose to be greedy and selfish, did they get something doing those? Hays.
Okay, moving on that's not my article all about. I just wanted to share with you that finally, our thesis is done from chapters 1 to 5 to defending it to the panelist.
On day one, last semester of my third year we think of a title for our research study. We're having a hard time getting the approval of our thesis adviser at that time, we already made many titles but none of them were accepted. So the last day of giving a title, I think about one that is connected to our course which is financial management. And fortunately, our thesis adviser already approved it so we can now start doing chapter 1 which is the introduction and background of the study. I am the leader in our group so the pressure is on. I divided the task equally and also I ask them for any suggestions, even though I am the leader I don't decide alone I still ask my group mates about their opinions. I think that's good in having a harmonious group. In our second semester in my third year, we started doing chapters 1-3 (introduction and background of the study, review of related literature(RRL), and the methodology). And we have a defense on that chapters. We're happy that time that we defended it although our panelist suggested some revisions on it. And then vacation comes, we polish our thesis and do what the panelist recommends to us. Chapter 4-5 will continue on our fourth year in the first semester.
Unlike other groups, we didn't change our whole study just the title of it changed from "Logistics Management System in business growth of selected fast-food chain to " Logistics Management Practices in Business Growth Of Selected Supermarket in Metro Manila" so they are still connected and we just have a little revision on our study.
Now that we are in the fourth year of college we continue our research study chapters 4-5 where we will going to have a survey questionnaire. After creating a questionnaire, we do a triangulation, we ask our professor if she can be our validator to our questionnaire. Gladly, she accepted it and validates our questions.
Doing a research study together with your group mates virtually isn't an easy thing. We used to have groupings face to face but since we are facing a pandemic and the class becomes an online class we need to deal with social media platforms in communicating with our group mates. Also, there's one problem that we encounter, looking for respondents. Our target is 50 persons who are working in a supermarket. We want to do a walk-in but they are strict and didn't allow us to have a survey inside their premises and so we just create a Google form and disseminate the questionnaire thru the use of social media.
This is what we did. We created an announcement that says that we need respondents and we put the criteria whoever meets that criteria can answer our questionnaire. It's hard getting respondents virtually, fortunately, my partner's cousin is working in Sm supermarket I ask a favor if he could answer our survey questionnaire and if he could share the link with his colleague. We meet our target respondents.
We also need to have a statistician and my groupmate known one, his professor before. We pay P2,500 ($49.67). It's worth it since he did all the computations and interpretations. We need also a grammarian to check our grammar. I found one and good thing she let us have her as our grammarian. We pay P500 ($10).
And yesterday is the day, our section was scheduled on day 1 (December 6, 2021) at 2:00 pm. My groupmates and I were very nervous, I told them to answer right away if they know the answer so that we don't have a dead air which the panelist doesn't want. I cheer them up and say that we can do this.
This was my group mate's screenshot while I am answering a question. Hehe sorry for my bare face XD. I'm nervous at that time. But I don't let my nervousness hinders me in doing my best. This is our last shot so we need to do our very best.
These are my lovely group. We name our group **GRADWAITING** since we will be graduating next year we just need to wait hehe. I'm blessed to have them as my group mates because they didn't let me do it alone and they did help me a lot, they also understand my situation so they didn't give me a headache hehe. We all did our assigned tasks.
Yet! Finally, our thesis defense was done. Thank God for giving us wisdom and strength yesterday during our defense. Though we need to have a minimal revision on our thesis which we put the suggestions of our panels. Then the next that we need to do is to book bind it. So another expense again.
https://noise.cash/post/kw5p00vaz8rj
Look at them, they are behaving while I'm doing defense. I thought my baby will cry during my defense but he seems to understand what I told him, my baby is a good boy. He sleeps when my defense is starting. I already shared it in my noise.cash account. They serve as my motivation yesterday, seeing them takes away my fear and nervousness. My partner also cheers me up before the defense, he saw how frustrated and nervous I am.
Closing thoughts
*I think we deserve a rest hehe. Doing our research study wasn't easy, it consume our time, energy, and money. I'm thankful it is already done and we survived the defense, some of the group in our section will repeat chapters 4-5 said by the panelist and that is another pain in the as* since they need to pay again for the statistician and grammarian. What we need to prepare right now is our payment when we book bind our thesis and it needs to have three copies so imagine how much money we need to spend. But, that's okay as long as we need it to graduate next year.*
*Next semester, what we need to be ready for the internship. I'm quite excited and nervous hehe. Konti nalang road to graduation na this!*
***Thank you people for your support :)***

Turns two month:Batman baby
December 4, 2021
Good day people. I have read lots of challenges here about Christmas. I'm planning to join and thinking about what I'm gonna write also I'm excited to read others entries. Indeed, Christmas is coming to us! Let's cheers for that.
Update on my baby's christening: we will schedule it for December 19 and next week will be going to church to register. If the invitation is done, I will share it here. So you're all invited virtually hehe.
So yesterday, December 3 my baby turns two months old. Last month, when my baby turned one month the superhero that he portrays was superman. The hero whose weakness is kryptonite. And now look who's my baby. He is Batman, our little Batman. Babies nowadays are growing so fast and I don't want that for my child as I want to cherish him being a baby, however, I'm also excited when he turns five months and up as this is the moment where babies will be going to know how to play and they learn to sleep more in the night more than morning haha so no more sleepless nights for me. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/one-month-superman-baby-1b53361a
So what happened to my baby's birthday
We considered it as his birthday until his real birthday which is October 3 comes and he turns 1 year old.
We just prepared a simple celebration with family and we do a photo shoot of my baby. I am the one who takes a picture of him and swear it's hard to capture a perfect one since my baby has tantrums already. We only capture a few photos.
We also ordered again a number 2 shaped cake with a Batman theme. The seller is the same as before because we like the taste of the cake, it tastes good. Buttercream frosting and moist chocolate also some fondant details. What can you say about the cake?
I love this one, it's not that perfect shot but look at my baby's face. He's cute in this picture.
This one is also my favorite as he looks at the camera. My baby can see now and we're very happy with that because he smiles more than before because he already recognizes our face and surrounding.
My partner cooks spaghetti, as usual, hehe while I'm the one who prepares Shanghai, these two are our main foods hehe. We didn't prepare much, we just want a simple celebration.
Here is the second photo shoot. The food is cooked already so we take pictures again. As you can see we don't have many foods, we intentionally prepared this as we only celebrate it with our family, at my partner's house. When the food is cooked already I message my sister to come here so that I can give them food.
This is the picture of my sister and niece together with my baby. They are the ones who get food here. They said they are waiting for the cake already.
After we take pictures. Look at him, knockdown already. I guess he gets tired of moving his hands and feet while we're doing a photoshoot.
I send those pictures to my father and he loves the look of his grandchild. He said he's cute while wearing a Batman costume. This costume was ordered online and I thought it won't arrive before my baby's second month since it is from China and the shipping is far. Fortunately, it arrived on time and it suits my baby well.
Closing thoughts
*Babies are indeed blessings so we should take care of them well. Nowadays, parents celebrate their child's monthsary. Some will have a grand photo shoot while some prepare to DIY like me. Aww, my baby is growing too fast, please don't grow too fast. This small celebration will serve as a remembrance to my baby when he grows up.*
*Next month, I don't have in mind what superhero is going to be the costume of my son. Hmm, can you suggest one? A superhero, please.*
*We're happy yesterday for our baby. When he grows up he will just look at the pictures of him during his baby time.*
**Thank you for reading guys.**

I have many responsibilities now. I try to catch up this December.

December feels
December 1, 2021
***Time of writing 11:05 pm***
December is here! So fast isn't it? I'm always asked this since the last week of November, are you excited for Christmas? I'm sure most of you will say yes because who didn't? Christmas is the most awaited holiday especially for those working. 13th month, bonus and other Christmas giveaways are waving ad employees are happy with that. Aww, I'm excited to be a working one but of course, that is next year since our graduation is next year.
This Christmas what gift are you looking forward to? Or are you expecting any gifts? Do you still know your monitos and monitas? Or are you the one who gives a gift to your godchild?
Everyone is excited about Christmas. Look at their Christmas decorations inside and outside their houses. Isn't it captivating? It gives us the vibes of Christmas already. The different lights of Christmas lights are colorful which gives us joy. There are places such as city halls, parks, malls and another wide area where people put Christmas decorations like big Christmas tree, parol(lantern) and Christmas lights. Truly, Christmas is fast approaching and now it's the first day of December. November bid its goodbye to us already.
What do you feel now? Are you excited?
As for me, I have mixed feelings this December. Excitement, nervousness, frustrations but joy is more evident to me. Do you know why I felt these feelings?
This December many things will happen especially in my studies. Our thesis defense schedule is on Monday, December 6, 2021. The final examination schedule is from December 13-16. And then the completion of our pending activities is until December 19, December 20 is our break. See how hectic my schedule in December is.
Also, on December 19, 2021, we decided to baptize our baby. And now I am planning about his christening and I am planning to just make my invitation, I already created an invitation before during my debut so I guess I still know-how. Or if you have talent on this can you lend a hand? Hehe, I will be so much thankful for that. I need to write more articles so that we have an additional budget since my partner got absent for a week because of his teeth so his salary was deducted.
However, thinking of Christmas day and my baby's christening makes my heart excited. I do hope my baby's baptism doesn't move, I want to baptize him as soon as possible. I just want a simple celebration.
Do you know that I have more than 10 godchildren? So every Christmas I need to buy gifts for each of them or if I haven't bought one I will just give them money. Those are my friends, neighbours and classmates kids. They get me as ninang of their child even though I don't have a work yet and still a student hehe. However, whenever I don't have any to give them, they will understand it.
As for me, I don't remember anymore my godparents because since I turned 4 years old we moved here to Manila. All my godparents are in our province, they are safe to me whenever Christmas comes haha! So, I didn't experience roaming around our barangay seeking my godparents during Christmas. I just go with my sisters and their godparents just give me some money.
When we are getting older, we are shy already about asking for aguinaldo. My sisters now didn't go to their godparent's house and their godparents just went to our house to give something for them.
Gifts
Who doesn't want a gift? I believe all of us wants to receive a present. I love giving gifts to my family and partner. I have an advanced gift for my sister as she asked me to buy her a dress and sandals. So I ordered online and last week the items arrived, she's very happy with that. I will share a separate article in regards to this. Even though I seldom receive a gift I am thankful because seeing my family happy and no one of us have sick is already a gift to me from above and that's considered a precious gift for me.
This is just a random article about what I feel this December. I'm thinking of writing an article recap but I don't expect that I published many since I didn't write every day. Still, I want to commend myself for being able to write an article despite my situation.

Midterm debate
November 28, 2021
Happy Sunday everyone. What did you do this day? Do you make your day productive like what ate @bmjc98 did?: A Productive Day On A Hot Sunday. I hope your Sunday went well. https://read.cash/@bmjc98/a-productive-day-on-a-hot-sunday-2fd463b4
We are here in my place because my father is waiting for his grandchild. He missed it already.
Look how cute they are. Aww, my heart, I'm happy seeing them together.
Our midterm examination week was done already. Two subjects didn't give us a written exam instead one is a round table discussion about the case study of each group and the other one is a debate. And guys, that was given us a headache char!
So I'm gonna share with you about our midterm which is debate. I will share here some of the discussions that we did and about our stand in that debate.
The topic that was assigned to us is:
We are group 9 so we are in a negative team which means we are against.
This is our sample script on that said topic:
**Round 1:**
Our opponents proposed that technological advancement be limited because it hurts humans and is harmful to our lives as well as the environment. We argue that this definition is unrealistic and that, instead, the topic should be defined as technological advancement should be limitless because it benefits education, communication, and health. We all know that technology has made life easier for us, but we must be careful not to lose our capabilities in the process of innovation. It is our responsibility to find a balance in which technology serves our needs without losing our inherent intelligence. The key is to minimize its misuse, restrain from overusing it, and maximize its potential to create a better future for all of us. If we use it correctly, we will be able to change the world for the better. It will cure diseases, provide intelligence, and open many doors. Technology is shaping the future, and it is not to be feared. And if it ends up destroying us as a result of misuse and corruption, we will only have ourselves to blame.
I will be arguing one point, this is how technological advancement should be limitless as it helped to develop and enhance our education. And the second speaker this afternoon will be arguing about how technological advancements have improved connectedness in society and developed great things in medical aspects.
The first speaker for the affirmative put an argument that Students nowadays are depending on calculators in solving mathematical equations rather than exercising their brain to solve these tasks which leads to a lack of improvement. We argue that one aspect of technology that has had a great impact on society is how it affects learning. According to the study of Dr Radhika Kapur It’s made learning more interactive and collaborative, this helps people better engage with the material that they are learning and have trouble with. Consider the students who struggle with long computations. Consider a situation similar to exams, where you have a limited amount of time to finish calculating the problems. Calculators will support students in solving problems faster than long methods that will consume your time. Technology allows students to get work done easier. Students can take quizzes and exams more easily, and use calculators effectively. These technological advancements made learning more fun and convenient.
So here's where we stand: technological advancement, like in education, should be limitless because it gives you better access to resources. With the invention of the internet, we now have access to information 24/7, and you can find almost anything online. It also broadens the scope of the classroom by encouraging self-paced learning. People can learn from YouTube and other social media platforms.
Technology is not to blame for harming humankind and the environment. Individuals, cultures, and societies must bear the responsibility for any consequences. Technology has greatly contributed to the advancement of academics, communication, health, and the ease of living that we have today.
**There is also a question and answer portion, I will just give only one sample question which I answered.**
***Question 1***
***Cunanan -*** Affirmative
Naturally, we shouldn't utilize technology abusively due to studies which proves that usage of gadgets in a very long period on one occasion increases the danger of too much exposure to radioactivity that can cause harm to our visions and can cause unexpected damages to our health and even to our work. Mass media platforms such as FB, Twitter and others can waste so much of our precious time and even can increase our energy utilization.
***Aragon*** - Negative
There should be no limit in using technology because it helps our lives easier by using things which is a product of technology. Gadgets are helpful to us and they won't harm us only if we use them in a proper way and with discipline. Media platforms are helpful to us since they make us become updated on what is happening to our society. It also makes people connected especially now that we are experiencing a pandemic, Our gadgets save us from being bored while staying in our house since there are apps such as TikTok and youtube which keep us entertained. Some of these media platforms help us in our online class too. So why should we limit technology usage?
That's how our midterm examination goes. It's challenging but of course, we help each other to surpass it.
*How about you guys? Where do you stand? On a positive team or negative team? You're free to comment on which side are you here. And also, did we give justice to our side which is negative?*
Since we are not the one who chooses where we stand, we need to depend on the side which we place by our professor. It's a tough one and we need to have a strong argument for us to have a high grade. However, we enjoyed the debate.

Vaccine:They said it's not mandatory but...
November 27, 2021
Hello, people here. How's the weekend so far? We're not able to go home to my place this day so tomorrow morning we will go there, my father missed his grandchild already. I spend my whole Saturday taking care of my baby and sleeping when he falls asleep.
We now have a vaccine for Covid. The government encourages people to get vaccinated especially those seniors and front-liners since they are the more vulnerable ones. At first, people were scared about the vaccine and think negatively about its side effects but still, there are lots of people who want to get the vaccine.
And now, kids aged 12 and up years old are now allowed to get the vaccine only if their guardian allow them to be vaccinated.
*Vaccination isn't mandatory. People can decide whether they get the vaccine or not. It's up to us, it's our choice. That's what I read when I searched about FAQS:VACCINE on the page of DOH.*
It clearly says that getting the vaccine is not mandatory but they highly encourages us to be vaccinated for our safety.
But what happened nowadays is like saying that vaccination is mandatory. Why do I say so?
`Disclaimer: this is what I observed and experienced. What I will be sharing here is purely my opinion.`
Many restaurants don't allow dine in when a person doesn't vaccinate yet. Some establishments prefer vaccinated ones rather than not vaccinated to enter into their premises. There is transportation who are required to show the vaccine card before allowing a person to ride. Even church (I'm referring to our church here, I don't know if we have the same situation) prioritised the vaccinated one to enter inside.
See? It's not mandatory to get the vaccine but in these situations, people are forced to be vaccinated to enjoy also the perks that the vaccinated person experiencing.
Why do I feel that a person who didn't yet vaccinate experiencing discrimination?
Last November 22, 2021, is the release of our allowance in scholarship. I waited for it for almost a year now and finally, they release it already. I am happy with that good news.
So my partner and I went to my university to get the allowance. My schedule is 9 am to 12 noon. I have my requirements with me. I'm wearing a face mask and face shield.
When I am going to enter the guard ask for the screenshot of my schedule so I show it to him at first I thought it's okay already but when he asked for my vaccination card, I told him I don't have one since am not yet vaccinated. I told him the reason why I didn't have my vaccine yet but he said they are not allowing not vaccinated people to enter school premises. I beg him that my schedule is at 9 and only that day but no luck. For me to enter I need to show him my vaccination card which I don't have.
I went back to where my partner is waiting then told him what the guard said. I feel down at that time and I thought I won't get my allowance. I messaged our GC if it is allowed others to get our allowance and fortunately, one of the members answered me and send a screenshot saying that it is allowed, we just need to create an authorization letter saying our reason, government ID of the person who will be going to claim the allowance and my requirements.
Since my partner is fully vaccinated already and have his vaccination card. He is the one who enters the university to claim my allowance. There's a process that he undergoes to be qualified in claiming my allowance.
While waiting for my partner. I am sitting in front of the pldt building, a good thing they have chairs there.
When my partner already has my allowance. We're both hungry so we look for carinderia since we're not allowed to dine in.
This is the food that we ate.
I also gave money to my sisters and my mother in law and we ordered online for our baby.
Closing thoughts
I'm planning to get my vaccine soon because there are rumours that our school will have face to face classes only for that vaccinated person. I didn't get my vaccine before because I am pregnant and I'm scared of its side effects.

Special day of my sisters
November 26, 2021
Hello people. It's been a while again, I thought I only published last day but when I saw the date of my last article, it's already four days ago. Oh no, I need to catch up the missing days huhu.
Anyways, how are you people? Doing great? That's good.
**In my previous article I published an article about** **how we celebrate the birthday of my youngest sibling****.** https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/how-we-celebrate-without-our-parentsmy-sisters-birthday-5aaa10a4
And last November 23, 2021, she celebrate her birthday this year and also my other sister celebrates her birthday yesterday. So I'm gonna share with you what happened to their special day.
My youngest sister's birthday celebration
Unlike last year when we celebrate without our father, last November 23 we celebrate together with our father. He's already stay out on his work so he went home always already.
My youngest sister thought our father forgot when is her birthday because my father didn't mention about it. So she asked my father when is the birthday of our big sister, if we know she want to ask about her birthday hehe. (Paraparaan) char.
Since I'm not living with them anymore, we just visit there every Saturday and Sunday and my sister's birthday is Tuesday so I told my partner to stay there for a week since my big sister also celebrating her birthday on Thursday which we failed to do. On Sunday during our stay there my father, big sister and I talked about our plan to my youngest sister's birthday. My father said that he doesn't have much money but he don't want our sister to feel sad so he will make way. We planned to cook spaghetti, shanghai and buy a cake.
Sunday morning, I received a good news from our gc in ched scholarship. Our university released a list of grantees name who have already schedule on releasing of allowance and my name was included. Thank God, our problem was solved. That was another story, I am going to share about soon.
I told my father that If he wants I will be the one who buy cake but he said he have a budget to that since that's the most important.
This is the set up of my sister's birthday celebration. It's a simple celebration where spaghetti, shanghai,chicken and cake are present. At first they didn't plan to fry chicken but when I asked them if they want chicken they said yes so I gave them money which they happily accepted then buy to the market. Also the balloon, the number one balloon was used when my son turned one month old, fortunately we keep it so we just buy only one balloon, the number two to make it 12. My sister is 12 already, aww not a baby anymore. I always told her to take care of herself.
Our father was not there in the picture because his out to his work is 5 pm and we took that picture at 3 in the afternoon. As you see, we have lots of kids in house hehe, that's include my sisters, niece, baby and my partner's nephew. Her friends also joined us that day.
Since her tablet doesn't have proper charger and she's having hard time in charging it with other charger in house I asked her if she want a new charger and she said yes. I bought her one, a fast charger.
We have a place there near in our church where there are Christmas decorations and many bazaar selling different things and foods. I gave them money so that they can buy what they want there.
My oldest sister's birthday
Yesterday was my other sister's birthday. Before her birthday, I said to my father that I will be the one who buy cake for her. And my father said okay since he don't have enough money and the due date in payment of our wifi and water is near already. I asked my sister what she wants in her birthday, she just said she don't know because our father might not give her money. She's happy with a cake, she said. Before we go home in my partner's place I gave her money. She's very happy.
Because of lack of sleep, I didn't manage to go in our house so I don't belong in the picture. My oldest sister turns 28, since we have number two balloon already that we used in my youngest sister's birthday they just bought number 8 balloon. She cooked viands bicol express, grilled fish and adidas(chicken feet) and buy a cake.
She went to our house to send us foods and cake. Then my partner gave her two alcoholic drink (emperador) which she happily accepted. She thank us and have a selfie with my baby before leaving.
They video call us and I saw that they are having a party party because they are singing with the use of bluetooth speaker and a phone only. Our friends also come to our house.
I bought her a gift. She loves to wear crop tops so when I saw this one I bought it to make as a gift to her. I don't want to wear such kind.
Closing thoughts
I know they spent their birthdays well and the happiness was evident to their face. Even though its not a big celebration, they are still happy with it. And that's the most important thing, we should be contented on what we have and don't ask for more. Simple things can be special if one exert effort and love into it. I am happy seeing them smiling and laughing on their special day.

My baby got his vaccine
November 21, 2021
Good day, Bonnie (pretty) people. How are you? I missed you all. These past few days I failed to publish an article due to lack of sleep and my mind doesn't seem to think of one. It's hard to think when you don't have sleep. I'm doing also our thesis, not all but my part which is chapter 5. Also, we have a debate that served as our midterm exam in one of our subjects. I need to research the topic given to us our side is negative which means we are against and this is the topic:
***How about you guys? Which side are you and why? I would love to read your thoughts about it and for me to get an idea. Thanks in advance***.
But that's not what I'm going to write today. I would like to share what happened to my baby's check-up last week.
Last week, Wednesday, November 17, 2021, is the schedule of my baby's check-up in the center. That's is our first time going to the center since I gave birth to him.
Vaccine. Is this important and necessary? As for me, yes it is. Because it helps our body to boost our immune system and to avoid the disease that we might get. I can still see the mark of the injection I got when I was a child. I think it's the last injection I've got.
So back to my story, my baby was scheduled to last week to get his vaccine. We went there early so that we don't be late and we don't want to line up long. Fortunately, my partner's work is nightshift so he accompanied us to the center. That was a relief to me since I'm scared when I am alone going there with my baby and he will be going to get his vaccine, thinking of an injection injected into his skin makes me nervous.
While waiting we had a vitamin d because the rays of the sun are directed to us. The doctor is late as usual, she wants to keep the people waiting.
Look, my baby is sleeping very well even though there are noises in the surroundings because there is a basketball ball court there and people now are allowed to play there. That innocent face of my baby will soon be ruined because of the injection. I'm worried about that time.
Not just one but two vaccines
Yes, you read it right. There are two vaccines injected into him in one day. The first one is in his right leg and the other one is in his left leg. Imagine how hurt was that? When our turn is already my partner and I come near to the doctor and I answer all the questions that ask. As you see, my partner is the one holding my baby because I'm scared, I might break down hehe char. The vaccines are five I one and anti pneumonia. The doctor said my baby might get sick so she said that we should buy paracetamol for the baby and that was taken every four hours.
This is the medicine we buy for him. And when night comes he is well already. But the problem is he become hyper he doesn't sleep from midnight to 7 in the morning. And I think it's his hobby now to stay awake from 3 am to 7 am and because of that I don't have sleep also and it affects me a lot, I'm having a hard time finishing all my activities. Well, we need to endure this until he reaches his three months they said his body clock will change and that he will sleep in the evening more than morning.
Now, he is sleeping very well here at my side. He loves to stay awake at dawn very much. As much as I want to sleep now, I didn't sleep to write an article because it's been 3 days I think since the last published article of mine.
Closing thoughts
I'm proud of my baby, he just cries when the injection was injected into him and he stops already when it is done not like the other babies there who cries a lot even though their turn is done. Also, his fever doesn't get long, it's only last hours. Now, my baby is fine but he is still awake at dawn until morning.
Thanks for reading.

Shopee:What's in my cart?
November 19, 2021
What's up people. I hope you're having a good day. These few nights I stayed awake from midnight to 6 in the morning because of my baby, he's hyper when midnight comes till dawn so I also need to stay awake because he's crying loudly. My mind doesn't work well now but I need to publish for I didn't manage to publish yesterday. Apologise if this is not a satisfying one.
Add to cart na yan!
Last 11.11 I only ordered two items and this past few days I have a look in my shopee app then I notice that my shoppeay doesn't yet activate. My sister told me that if I activate it I will be going to have a P70 and it's automatic to place in my wallet. So I activated it and yes it's legit I've got a free P70 and I used this to buy more in shopee.
Last Tuesday, my three parcels arrived and yesterday the other one arrived. So, all in all, I received four items.
Here's what I ordered online:
Baby pillow
I ordered this one because my baby has only one pillow that we ordered in a set before. Its cotton is flat already since it has always been used by my baby so I ordered one pillow so that we have an alternative. It's only cost P45 and when I received it, the quality is good. I love the cotton inside and the design is cute. However, I thought this was big but the size is small, well it still fits my baby head. It says in the description that it helps in forming well the baby's head.
Diaper's clip
This is a clip for lampin since in the morning it's hot here in the house, we don't use diapers to avoid irritation of my baby's butt. We use lampin, it's a cloth that can use as an alternative to diapers. My mother in law used a perdible or safety pin but I'm having a hard time putting this on my baby's lampin. One time I got a wound because of that so I look for a clip. This one only cost P22. It is safe to use especially when my baby is crying while putting a lampin, I'm not scared thinking I might pierce him or myself.
Baby cotton buds
This is not what I've expected. I'm a bit disappointed since I thought it's a mini bud that suits for baby's nose but when I received this, it's like the usual cotton buds it's still big for my baby. The good thing is it costs only P18 hehe. Not bad at all.
Socks for baby
Instead of bottles, I want socks for my baby's feet whenever we go outside. It cost P35 for three pairs of socks. I love the design of it but the problem is it's quite big for my baby maybe he can wear it when he's already in the third month or maybe he will grow fast. It's cute when he wears socks instead of botties.
Mini buds sanitary
Since the first mini buds that I ordered is failed, I order again and this time I assure you that it's the right mini buds for the baby. I'm excited to receive this one because I'm having a hard time getting my baby's mucus.
Items that I already received
Also, my partner and I were planning to order a baby rocker online.
This is a bit pricey but my partner insisted to buy one for our baby. Well, I think our baby will love this one. It is still in my cart, we haven't bought it maybe next week.
As you noticed, all of the items are for my baby. When you become a parent all you want is the comfort of your baby, you think of yourself least and your baby first.
**Thank you for reading guys!**
