Labor Day Adventure and Team Building Got this article ready for posting last Sunday (05-02-21) but my phone has been acting really weird that I have to get it fixed in a repair shop in the city. Good that I have it working normally now, so bear with me posting this late. Labor Day is commemorated every May 1st here in the Philippines. Labor unions and other political groups would take this opportunity to rally with placards and megaphones, taking their agenda on the streets…
April BCH Highlights I don't normally write articles about milestones, BCH and stuffs like that. Primarily because for the past months there has been very minimal progress in my journey with cryptocurrency and if there is it would be a very slight undertaking or maybe I am just feeling so naive with the whole thing still. I feel like I don't have much knowledge to share about crypto stuffs. March of 2021 was a comeback for me, the 1st week to be exact. Since then I have been…
To The Best Nanay (Mother) When I think about my mother, these are the images that come to mind. I see her leaning into her favorite chair in a small store she is keeping. I see her stirring green beans in a pot, then opening the fridge to check again for a possible dish to cook for the next meal. I see her outside her store holding a native fan (abaniko in our language) while talking with her bestfriend who often times dropped by. I see her arguing with my dad while he…
Lost In Translation I got this article brewing for like 4 days now, inspired from the lengthy post of the talking head in noise.cash when they explained with "heart and soul" on how to avoid being a spam. So, they translate the entire post in different languages, Filipino included. Ironically, no matter how full blooded Filipino I am, I can get lost in translation. I can feel the effort of the developers and owner of the platform. I for one has a been a content writer for…
Covid19 Pandemic Stringent Measures This can be a tiresome pursuit for more than a year now, but every nation, city or any home in this planet should never be complacent. The time we grow weary in protecting ourselves poses a great risk for this evil virus to attack us. Our city, Iligan City, is not spared from this dilemma, we got a recent surge in Covid19 cases. Five months ago the City Health Office can only record one or two new cases each day, but for like a month now…
International Day of Families This afternoon I have some errands from mom that needs to be done and that includes picking up her online orders from Avon - yes! Mom is an Avon Lady, she keeps some products in stock at her small corner store. While waiting, my eyes wanders over the Franchise Dealers board and there this article came into life. They had this Photo Contest about Family Portraits because **today (May 15, 2021) is International Day of Families! Cheers!!!** Heading…
The Year I Won Against Cigarette Disclaimer : This is not my story, but from someone I personally know. This is my story for a full year without cigarette, following 38 years during which I smoked an average of a pack and a half a day. By the time I quit, I was up to two packs a day - which makes a total of approximately 398,000 cigarettes - not a record, of course, but enough to qualify me as an expert witness. Early in my agonizing withdrawal, when I could see myself…
Senior Citizens Covid19 Vaccination: Experiential Journal Since the first week of May, covid19 vaccination efforts reaches the senior citizens since this group has been considered vulnerable in the human population for severe infection. I have seen a lot of senior citizens getting inoculated, but there are still people who miss this opportunity primarily because of fear and misinformation. Last Wednesday was my parents schedule to get the jab. However, first-hand we've been…
Books I Grow Up With Milestones are these progressive events that we learned and developed as we grow older. Like when you utter your fist word mama or papa at 10 months, and learn to walk at 12 months. My journey through life with books were like milestones as I see it through now. I tried to jog my memories how it begun and I must say that it started in the library in primary school. The library perhaps was so enchanting for me in my childhood. When I was a little kid, I…
Living Alone and Leaving Home Some people believe that living alone is advantageous. The independence offers a lot of convenience in many important personal, economic and social issues. Furthermore, they hold this notion that being independent sets them off from a lot of responsibilities. You would be caring less from the stress of having someone to dictate you of how to decorate the house, when to tidy up, what time to go home, what groceries to buy, who would use the…
Thanks @Jane for the sponsorship! 💚 Touch nmn ako madam, nagulat ako swear🥰
The Awesomeness of Freedom There is always something awesome when we think of freedom. Living alone in a country with so much freedom is wonderful (some even abused it), I can't imagine living any place where government suppress some of our rights for suffrage, our right to choose what career path we want to take, and of course in some places, the longest battle of women for freedom to practice some things they aren't allowed doing because of gender. Freedom on this agenda…
Celebrating Pandemic Birthday May 30 is a special day for me, it was the day my mom risked her life to bring me to this world. I know I'm special for them because as the eldest I gave them the first and fresh feeling being a mother and a father. Whenever I see my friends getting married and eventually giving birth to their first born, the excitement is by far the most memorable. Well, every experience is special some have had traumas too, that's why some couples couldn't aim…
