It's Been A While.

It's been a while, everyone. I took almost two weeks break from writing articles due to personal reasons and problems. During the two weeks of my break, I experienced stress which caused me to take a break from using social media. No one may have missed a “Maestro” that writes articles on read.cash and makes noises on noise.cash, but to be honest, I missed myself in those days. Actually, I had to think that I was okay even though I was going through something at the time but I chose to be strong because many people joined my fight; my friends and family.

There also came a time when tiredness and excessive stress went hand-in-hand so I had to reduce my worries because if I continue to synchronize the things I am used to and my responsibilities in the online world, I might lose myself by chance. Because of this, I chose to put myself first because I can't do what I want if I don't take care of myself. To be honest, I can't think any more of the problems I experienced last week. I can’t even explain the whole story of everything that happened because I was traumatized by what I experienced but I will share some insights about it.

The first thing that caused me stress over the past two weeks was our Quarter Finals where we had to adjust and finalize our performance tasks and requirements to complete our mark for the Last quarter of the Alternative Year and also for the four quarter. I mean, I'm used to the stress caused by academics because I've been used to it since I went to senior high school. No day will be the rest of my brain and I prefer to be challenged to be better prepared for the next tests as well. Fortunately, I get good results so the performance tasks in this senior high school became easy for me.

In the last two weeks, the biggest challenge has been the loss of my Facebook account and my experience with online scams. It may be easy for others to just listen to this problem I have experienced but it is a big deal for me. I’ll admit, I haven’t been active on Facebook since I found read.cash and noise.cash but I still need this thing because it connects important things and it’s also what I use to connect with other people. If we think about it, I will only lose my Facebook account if it is hacked but if you ask me, my answer will be 'no'. My Facebook account is connected to other gaming and other important applications and platforms such as Microsoft, ML: BB, and various other sites that I often use.

Because of what happened, I became greedy. In my desire to get my Facebook account back, I entered things with no certainty. Let’s just say, I didn’t think before I entered that thing because I was so desperate to get something back. I won't tell you the full details about it but I was indeed scammed by a fake "account retriever". This is the most depressing thing I have experienced. I lost the appetite to do things I used to do in a day like just to think of an idea for an article and something else I do every day. Not only did I feel depressed but also traumatized because I trusted someone I didn’t immediately know and was just referred to me by a not-so-close friend. I am still worried every time I think and tell the story of this incident, but I hope it will be a lesson to everyone.

There is only one thing I learned from this incident, and that is not to give up. With the help of my family and friends, they helped me regain my energy to do the things I knew and could do again. Until now this problem has not been resolved but I just let it go because I also approached a really trustworthy specialist and I first found out if he is legit since I don't want what happened to happen again. Although I cried at that time, I did not give up because a few weeks after that incident, my mother came home from Manila. While she was taking care of my aunt in Manila, she called me to help because she was worried about my condition. I may lose some money, but I didn't lose my allies.

It’s one I’m proud of all, my Super-mom who never left me in my heavy battles. And also, to the tireless support and sympathy of my friends. I have never experienced being one of my problems.

What is important right now is my preparation for my graduation. This is what I was thinking and focusing on right now and I entrusted my main Facebook account to the IT specialist I talked to. I’m also putting myself first right now because I can’t give up. I had to repay all the sacrifices of my parents before I finally became a bubble that would suddenly disappear.

Thank you for reading my story. Until next time.
