My Goals And Wishes For The Month Of June.
***"Hello, June. Please be good to us. I'm hoping for happiness this month. I hope I get better."***
The month of **May** has been a stressful month for me due to the number of activities I have done. I completed many modules and performance tasks but I finished and passed them with the help of my mother. The month of May has not been easy for me because it tested my **‘Mental Fortitude’** on many things. My patience and perseverance in studying were also tested because the problem came to me at the same time. I came to the point in my life that I was breaking down as I went along with the flood of activities and personal problems. Let's add the burdens of life to that. Let's add to that the travel of my mother to Manila and my concern that she might not be able to go to my graduation. These are just a few of the things I’ve experienced this month and I’m thankful that I overcame them somehow.
**My Wishes for the Month of June.**
Hopefully, the month of June will be fun. I believe that we are the ones who make our happiness and we are also the ones who control it. But there are times when we cannot avoid that something will come into the trial that will cause us grief.
I wish safety the health of my family this month. We know that there is a pandemic spreading today in our time so this is also the reason why we are careful every time we go out of the house and this is also the reason why our life has changed. Moreover, we heard a lot that there are cases of a disease that are spreading in our village so our fear of going out and going everywhere is getting worse. But let us not forget to **pray** because I believe it is still the most effective remedy of all.
Hopefully, I can finish my goals more loosely than last month. I will admit, I cried last month because of the activities. You can't blame me because I'm not used to this kind of study. I’m not used to not learning and no teacher teaching me. Even though I am about to finish my studies in the near future, I am still innovating in our system we have. Hopefully, the system will be better next School Year so that the condition of the teachers and students will also be in order.
My Goals for the Month of June
My main goal this month is to be **happy**. Like my main goal last month, I just want to enjoy the things I have. I can’t promise that I will be happy every day, but happiness is my key to avoiding sadness. Especially now that I am in the adult phase. I am starting with my responsibilities to myself and my family. There is also a part where I need to help my family through our financial needs.
My next goal this month is to accumulate money to buy a **Keyboard instrument.** I asked the seniors about the course I took in college and they said we would need this instrument because it would be part of our study. Actually, I have wanted to learn to play an instrument for a long time since I was a child. Apart from drawing I also dream of playing guitar, piano, flute, and other instruments so I also took this course. I believe I will enjoy the course I have chosen.
Closing Thoughts
So far, our current situation somehow agrees with what is happening in my dream because I’m getting closer and closer to my dream of becoming a full-fledged **teacher**. It will not be easy for me but I have a dream and I still have a family to feed and help. I can't let them go because they are my strength whenever I am sad and alone. I hope all our wishes and goals come true this month. May the month of June be prosperous and blessed. I hope the month of June will be full of happiness.

I Can Feel the Hardships, But I Can’t Give Up.
How do you take the first step in life's challenges? Our problems and challenges in life are not new. It is not new that there will be a problem and it will make our situation **worse**. It is not new in our lives that problems can put a lot of **weight** on our feelings. It is also not new in our lives that even small problems become big because we can no longer cope with them.
Recently we talked again about my mother's outgo to Manila to take care of my pregnant aunt. Actually I don't allow my mother to go to Manila but I can't do anything because my aunt needs a companion while she recovers. As I said in my previous article, I can't do anything even if I don't want her to continue to go to Manila.
Recently while we were worshiping, while my brother was praying my mother was crying but she didn’t show it much. Even if she doesn't reveal it, I can feel it. When I felt this I looked up for a moment and saw that my mother was crying.
After our worship I was surprised at what she did. She handed me something that would help us next month. She handed my brother **500 pesos** or **10.44 US Dollar** to spend on my brother if she would return the modules to his school.
She handed me **1500 pesos or 31.33 USD** that I could use to pay our internet bill. For the past two months I have been paying our internet bill because I want my mom to save her money so she can save. This way I thought of helping my parent because she was also having trouble with other things. But next month it looks like I'll just use the money she gave me because it looks like I'll be busy next month because we'll have another hell month next month since we're also in the finals. It just means I can’t publish as much article as I do now because I have to focus on my studies. Actually, I want to publish articles every day like other authors do but I can't because I have to take care of the **requirements**, **Learning Activity Sheets,** **Mastery Tests**, **Performance Tasks** and **Final Projects** that are also needed for me to graduate.
I also plan to prepare a gift for my mom. Actually, my gift was too early because I passed the University where I took the Admission Test. I took my first choice course and it was the ‘**Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education**’. But I still want to give my mom something that I think she can use. I know she is not fond of the material things we see in this world but I believe that in this way her problems in life will be fade somehow.
**Closing Thoughts.**
I'm still working on my Mental health right now. I am very affected by what is happening in our house today. I am very confused about the responsibilities I hold now. There are times when I have to take care of the requirements for the University I will be attending. There are also occasions when the school requirements will be at the same time and the requirements will be passed. It is also an opportunity for personal and family problems to go hand in hand. There are also chances that they will coincide.
As of now, I'm conditioning myself because I know I can't give up. Again, as I always say to myself, I am aware that I have a problem, I must know how to solve it.

The Indescribable Feeling.
I haven’t been able to publish an article for a long time for some reason. Actually, I would like to publish an article every day, but I can't because I'm too busy with my **studies** and I'm handling my enrollment, but I will try my best to publish an article for the following days.
**My worries about things.**
These past few days, I can't focus on what I'm doing because I'm thinking about the travel of my mother to Manila. My mother is leaving because she needs to take care of my **pregnant** aunt since my aunt is also sick and her pregnancy is always **sensitive**.
My aunt becomes delicate every time she gets pregnant because she has a defect in her Ovary. This is her second pregnancy so we are more careful now. But I have only one concern right now, **my graduation**.
I understand our situation because my mother is the only person who can travel and go to my aunt since Grandmother can't go out. I understand that but my only concern is my **graduation**. Sometimes I wonder if my mother will be able to come home because she will go through many processes from the time she goes to Manila until she comes home here. Before she can go to Manila, she first needs to take a **swab test** or **antigen test** to make sure she is not sick or a carrier of a virus. It will be harder and more difficult to go through when she comes back and goes home because she has to go through more processes.
I understand this matter because of our situation but I will never forget to think about my graduation as well. Just like other students this time of the pandemic, I also want to be with my mother now that I graduate even if it is only held online. Yes, it will be held online and you would ask me why I'm worried if she can still watch my graduation online. All I can answer here is;
***"Because it also feels different to be next to your parent at your graduation whether it is held online or physically. This will not be the basis of the situation if you really want what you want to happen."***
I believe my mother will be home before my graduation takes place. Hopefully, this will happen.
Indeed, I can’t control the time but hopefully what I want to happen now will come true. I can’t control every situation in our lives but I hope the situation I want to happen will also happen. I waited a long time for the chance to finish high school so hopefully, my mom could go. My father can no longer go because he has passed away. I also dream that my father can go to my graduation but it will never happen because he is gone. So the only one I could expect to get to my graduation was my mother. Hopefully, she can go.
I recently finished filling up the Enrollment form required by the University for which I am qualified. Just being qualified is a big step in my dream and I will add another step now because I will be stepping up to my dreams. This enrollment form has **7 pages** with personal information and other information I need for college. In a few weeks, I will have another step to take for my college entrance
**Closing Thoughts.**
Our situation today might be difficult but it will not be an obstacle to our dreams and aspirations. I do not believe that it will be an obstacle to my steps in every trial I face. I believe that there is someone who guides me from above which also keeps me going every day.
In just a few months, I will become a college and I will be closer to my dream of becoming a teacher. I will explain in my next article why I want to be a teacher so stay tuned for it. Thank you so much for reading my article.

I'm On My Way To College Life.
I'm about to enter my college life. I can't believe it because it seems like I used to be just a **kid** who loves to **color** in coloring books and it seems like I used to be just a **kid** who loves to **draw** anime and still-life figures before. Well, I also remember back then that I was just a kid who liked to **write** in my shorts because I got bored on what my teacher taught at that time. I also remember back then that I was also just a kid who loved to take off the **handkerchief** because I always left it at our school and I can’t remember where I often put it down.
It seems like recently I was only a **SPA** student or **Special Program in the Arts** Student who often goes home at night because of our art class. I also remember that I was just a leader in art activities before.
***Time flies so fast.*** Look at me now, I’m here at the point of my life where I’m about to enter the last biggest and highest going school of my life, the **college**. Actually, I already have an idea about college activities and what college is but I can't say that I know what to do here because I haven't been to college yet.
Anyways, I want to tell you that I passed the **Admission Test** at the University of my dreams. I also passed my first choice course which is the **BCAED** or the **Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education**.
I took this course because I wanted to **teach** students according to my talent. I want to teach **arts** because I am a **visual artist** and I studied **arts** for 4 years before and I want to continue it in college. I also want to continue my **talent** through this course and I also want to teach what I can learn through it.
Many people ask me why I didn't take **Architecture**, **Engineering,** or **Fine Arts**. Actually, I dream of it too and it’s closer to my talent but I love ***teaching***. I have always loved teaching. Although I am often nervous whenever I speak to a lot of people I still like what I do because I believe it is included in the process and I find **talent** myself in it.
I don't know everything related to the course I took but I have a few ideas here and I am praying that I will be able to handle it so that I can help my parents.
You may be wondering how I told this to my **Mother**. The real story about this is that I never thought that on the day of the **18th of May** the results for our **Admission test** will be released. My best friend just called me via **Facebook Messenger** because the result of our Admission Test came out so I immediately opened the link provided by **CTEC** or **CLSU Testing and Evaluation Center.**
I saw that it was stated that I was **qualified** in my chosen **course**. I didn’t know the word '**happiness**' at that time because I couldn’t believe I did even though the only basis of our scores were our grades from **Grades 9 to 11.** But I couldn’t celebrate much at that time because some of my friends didn’t pass that test and even my friend who told me to look at my test result. It's **sad** but we have to keep going for our dreams.
**Closing Thoughts.**
***I am getting closer and closer to the truth and reality of life***. I’m getting closer to the things that adults are already doing as well. For now, I will enjoy the rest of the time while I am still here but I will not lose sight of the responsibility and things I have to do. I can’t get tired of making my mom proud while I’m still alive. I will do everything I can to reciprocate their sufferings for us. I believe I can handle it. I can't still believe that I made it.

Finally, I Was About To See The End.
Hey friends, I have some news for you—The **third quarter** of this school year or the **1st quarter of the Second Semester** is over! Actually, the third quarter ended last **May 14.** It was also the retrieval of our **Modules**, **LASs**, **MTs**, **Activities** and **PTs**.
**Modules.**
It is the part of my **'New Normal Education'** that I was so stressed because everything in our modules is going to be answered according to my teacher. I have **8** Subjects for this semester;
Inquiries,Investigation, and Immersion (3Is)
Community Engagement, Solidarity, and Citizenship
Physical Education and Health
Trends, Network, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century
Culminating Activity
Filipino sa Piling Larang
English for Academic and Professional Purposes
Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions
The **7 modules** among them require that we answer our lessons and activities in the modules. Actually, I can answer it but even though I answer modules every day I'm still in a **hurry** with what I'm doing. This quarter we changed subjects again like we did last year. Each semester we will change subjects because we will have subjects with pre-requisite other subjects.
It's nice but it is also hard that I've had a hard time making modules now because it's hard and exhausting to do it. Yes, we hold on to our time in answering modules but the time we have to finish it hasn’t been enough. I don’t know if other students who are in **‘Modular distance learning’** also feel this way but I’m sure they are still adjusting to the current situation.
Learning Activity Sheets.
The **LAS** or **Learning Activity Sheets** serves as our short quizzes after the lessons. This is our test every time we finish a module or lesson in a subject. It was easier for me to answer LASs this quarter because our subjects are different now and I can say that my subjects are easier now than last semester.
We have fewer quizzes this School year due to Modular Distance Learning but they are recovering from our answers in the modules.
Mastery Test.
Our **MTs** or **Mastery Tests** take place and are sent to us every fourth week of a quarter. There are only **8 weeks** in a quarter so we only have two mastery tests per quarter.
This in turn serves as our **long quiz** and **test** because it reaches **50 point**s. Our Mastery test usually contains essays because I am on the **HUMSS** or **Humanities and Social Sciences** strand which is part of the Academic track.
Activites.
Our activities are the endless and never-ending **Essays**, analyzing **short** **stories,** and doing **research** or **thesis** because this is where my strand is focused. I have no complaints about the strand I entered because I expected that from the beginning that I would be able to experience activities related to **Social sciences**, **arts** and among them because I knew first the meaning of the strand I took before I entered here.
Speaking of activities, in the past school year, we had more physical activities such as **role-plays**, **theater plays,** and so on compared to now because we are in Modular Distance Learning only. We also have difficulty in executing our **talents** and **abilities** because of the pandemic we are experiencing. But we have to tolerate it because we have no choice but to follow the government regarding the decision regarding our education.
Performance Tasks.
**PT** or **Performance Tasks** are our final task or performance each quarter. This serves as our last test with the largest percentage in our grades. This is where **60 percent** of our grade comes from so if we fail to pass even one of our Performance tasks it will be a big reduction in our grade. Our frequent performance tasks are **essays**, **reaction videos, vlogs, lesson videos,** and **research**. The ones I mentioned served as our Performance task in the 1st semester where I got a high score because I have the ability to edit and produce videos and a task that I can say I am satisfied with.
Closing Thoughts.
The 3rd quarter has not been easy for me as it has been the most stressful quarter for me now **‘New Normal Education’.** The 3rd quarter had a big impact on my mental health so I had to entertain myself as I struggled and continued to pursue my dreams. Well, there is no easy thing but if we focus on it and give it the importance it will be easy. We should also always think about our mental health. If we are stressed about something, we can rest for a while so that we do not exhaust ourselves from what we are doing. I knew I was close to my goals so I would fight to achieve them.

A moment of realizations.
I've been sleeping late for the past few days because I'm finishing my schoolworks. I remember when our education was still being conducted face-to-face, I was not in a hurry with my schoolworks. I remember that I was not so tired at night when our situation was not yet in the **'new normal'**.
I remember that I used to spend the night because I was still doing activities that I had to pass tomorrow. I also remember back then that I was going home at night because we were practicing our role plays that would be performed the next day. I also remember that I didn’t do much at night before because I had already done my assignments before I went home. I have also written essays and short stories that need to be submitted tomorrow.
This is how my life used to be. A student who is a bit busy but I can say it also has been **‘adventurous’** and I used to enjoy while learning because I was happy with what I was doing.
Unlike today my anxiety often attacks me. Often awake because activities are coming to an end. Often tired because I will do modules all day and do it over and over again every day. I’ll admit, I’ve changed to the **‘New Normal’** I’m experiencing now. It's been over a year since I last experienced wandering around and enjoying what I'm doing.
To be honest, I'm not very happy with what I'm doing right now but I can't stop it because I have a dream. I can't stop because I will still be answering my siblings' studies. I can't **stop** because I still have so many things to achieve.
As my stay here on earth also lasts, so do the realizations that I know. I realized that I was in the adult phase now. I realized that I could no longer enjoy the things I wanted very much. There are things I need to **reduce** because there are more important things that need to be done. I was nervous that I might not be able to handle it but I also thought that ‘**others can handle it,** so it’s not impossible that **I can handle it too**’.
I am also in a phase of my life that I need to set aside a little amount for my family. Well, I'm ready to be here since then. I made up my mind that I would come to the point where I would be the one to support my family. As of now, I can help my family somehow. Sometimes I can buy what we need and I can also pay our bills here at home using my own money.
Another realization of mine is that you also need to reward yourself sometimes. The other day, I experienced a lot of stress in my studies. I was stressed at that time because our teacher giving Learning Activity Sheets and Mastery Tests and Performance tasks **simultaneously**. I admit, we hold our time to do school works but it is not enough to finish all at once. I do activities every day but I am still in a hurry to do. Just imagine that.
These past few weeks, when I’m tired I’ve been playing **Mobile Legends** and it serves as my **break**. I'll just play 1 or 2 games and my brain will be fine again. I can say that Mobile Legends has contributed a lot to my **mental health.** It helps ease my feelings and relieve stress even though I can only play occasionally. Just yesterday I rewarded myself because I knew **I deserved it.** By doing this, my feelings of loneliness and stress are reduced.
I was also given the opportunity to buy my dream thing which boosted my perseverance to do my activites. I used to accumulate for it before, but now I’ve got it. This way, the stress I feel is reduced.
**Closing Thoughts.**
There is **nothing** wrong with rewarding oneself. It can be a way for your good. ***I can say that giving a reward to yourself is giving value to yourself as well.*** Others may not be able to do it for you even though you have helped others a lot but I can do it for myself. I know the hardship I feel now is only temporary so I will do my best to overcome it and be the best version of my self.

I've been Demotivated.
"From **Waking up to bed** to **Taking breakfast** then **Study** then **Taking Lunch** then **Study again** then **Taking Dinner** then **Study again** then **Doing Article/Making some Noise** then **Doing review/watching Tiktok t0 feel sleepy** then repeat the process then voila! It's another day with the same process."
I have been Demotivated because I do the same routine everyday but who am I? I'm ***just a student*** that following the command of a failing education system on a country that has a failed governance. I cannot failed this because I have a lot of dreams to achieve and I have a lot of dream for my family.
**I'm demotivated to do an art.**
Actually,this happens since the **'New Normal Education'** starts. The artist side of mine has been lefted because I need to prioritize my education first. Before that 'New Normal Education'starts, I was an artist who **aiming** to accumulate some money for me, to save for future purposes. At that time I was still asking for money to my mom for my load because we hadn’t installed Wifi at the time.
I also did not ask my mother for money for **4 months** because the **commissions** kept coming to me. It was also a great opportunity to further develop my **drawing skills**. More people also got to know my talent and got to know me better because I won a **City-based** contest, I was the representative of my baranggay.
Everything just changed when I became a **grade 12 student** and started answering modules. I changed during those times because I had to adopt a **new** routine. Adopting is the hardest part of starting a new life. You need a quick understanding before you can get and learn it.
**I am Demotivated as a Person.**
I can say that I did not quickly adopt the message of ***‘New Normal Education***’ because first of all, I am **opposed** to it. ***I do not agree*** with this proposal because students will have difficulty with this system. But we could do nothing but to follow because there was no other way at that time because **“I was just a student”**.
Until now, even though my mind wants to draw and express an art, my body denied because it is **tired** on my work everyday. My job every day is to be a student and do tons of school works and modules. I regret the awards I get this School Year because It feels like **I don’t deserve it**. If you ask me what I learned in a subject, I can't answer because I haven't learned much because I'm not the type of student who only learns from what I've learned or watched.
It would be nice if all of our lessons were on youtube as well but there is nothing so **comprehensive learning [comprehension]** is all I need to do so that I can learn. I am more accustomed to the teacher in front of me because I learn more this way.
But how can it be possible for now? The answer for this question is that I will wait for everything to be back in order even though we don’t know when it will be back. Nah, I'm just waiting. I will also endure this test that has given to me.
**Closing Thoughts.**
Life is just like this. You feel demotivated sometimes but you can feel overjoyed sometimes because life is like a round things; it can roll over as it wants to.
Thank you for reading my rants in life. I hope you got it too. ***Adiós***!

Don't forget to gift yourself despite of many trials you have gone through.
***Suffering*** is just normal in a person. We cannot say that life is **existing** if we do not experience it. Trials also teach us how to be **steadfast** and **vigilant** in the problems that come to us. I believe that despite the difficulties there is also something good in return. I know I am tested by problems every month but I will never forget to reciprocate my difficulties even once. I buy my **necessities** sometimes which makes me happy and I can still use them. This way I can make up for what I went through in the past week and be **better prepared** to face the next trials.
***The month of April.*** This month has been the *‘***test of the year’** for me. I tried to get discouraged because of the number of activities I am doing. One night, I was crying because I no longer knew what to prioritize because I was so exhausted with what I was doing.
Another problem followed that tested my **perseverance** with things. I just let my emotions go by making articles that also helped ease my feelings. Since the month of March came into my life I have learned that I should also gift myself despite the perseverance I put in.
The Gift.
I’ve been really frustrated with a game ever since. Although I rarely play now because I still have responsibilities as a student and writer here in the read.
When I was still in **Junior High School** I promised to myself that if I will have work and making money, I would save up to buy the **'skins'** of heroes I wanted that would also help me to be better in mobile legends ***(in my opinion)***. In case you don’t know Mobile legends, here’s a little knowledge about the game:
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed for mobile phones. The two opposing teams fight to reach and destroy the enemy's base while defending their own base for control of a path, the three "lanes" known as "top", "middle", and "bottom", which connects the bases. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Legends:_Bang_Bang%23:~:text%3DMobile%2520Legends%253A%2520Bang%2520Bang%2520is,%2522%252C%2520which%2520connects%2520the%2520bases.&ved=2ahUKEwjH-qmFg7DwAhUPGKYKHUKfC74QFjARegQISBAF&usg=AOvVaw3AtdsFHXTp4MJxL_1UVXLs
I’ve seen potential in myself in the game ever since because I’ve been able to practice what I see in **pro-scenes**. I’ve also experienced participating in **tournaments** but I can’t give it time now because I divide my time between my **studies** and being an **author**. My dream also includes being a **pro-player** but I can’t pursue it right now due to the current situation. **BCH** or **Bitcoin Cas**h has helped to fulfill my dream not only of getting and buying **‘skins’** in *Mobile Legends: Bang Bang* but also in my life and education. When **BCH** came into my life I was able to buy things that would help my family and me. I am also able to pay our internet bills because of this. I can also buy the '**skins**' at Mobile Legends that I used to dream of.
This is what I bought last month the first ***‘starlight skin’*** I bought with my own money. It costs **₱ 350** or **$ 7.28**. I also made a promise that each month I would save a small amount to make up for my suffering each month. Starlight skins like this, come every month and also change every month so a hero’s new skin will come.
This is the new starlight skin I bought this month. This is the best skin I have sold of all because it is my Main Hero. It costs **₱ 480** or **$ 9.99**. All my sources of purchase here are from my income from noise.cash.
**Closing Thoughts:**
This is my way to **alleviate** the **sadness**, **problems,** and **trials** that I have felt for a month. There is nothing wrong with giving a gift to ourselves especially if we know we deserve it. I just want you to know that you also deserve to be happy so do everything to **reciprocate** your **hardships**. You may find **happiness** in the things you love, you may find it in the people around you, mostly you will find it in yourself.

My Goals and Wishes for the month of May and my Achievements in April.
***"New lessons. New Realizations. New Wonders. New life. New Month. "***
This is my motto for this **month**. Many trials have gone through my life but I have remained **steadfast** and I have overcome them. I also want to thank my mother because she has been the source of **joy** and **inspiration** for my achievements this month. That includes being my '**With High Honors**' that I offer to her.
But these are my BCH achievements this past month;
***I paid the Internet Bill with the help of BCH.***
Its a huge achievement for me because I helped my mom. I helped her to save money because I was the first to pay last month. Her expression is a **treasure** for me when I saw in my mother seeing the receipt of our internet bill. I paid through shopee pay to save as well and get cashback. Before I could do this, I first asked on Facebook about their experience.
***A Gift for my Self.***
I saved **$ 36.21** this April. All of this I have accumulated and come from my noise earnings. I deducted **$ 12** there because I was going to buy a gift from myself because it was one of my goals last month. The remaining **$ 24.21** will be save in my savings for future purposes.
***Project 1$ per day.***
Actually this didn’t turn out to be successful because I mistakenly hit from my tipping on my noise. I would have given from the QR code from these wallet my wallet. It would have been deducted but instead of just '**$ 0.10**' I would have given it became '**$ 10**' because it was dark at that time and I wasn't wearing my glasses yet. At first I regretted what I had given, but I realized that I only helped her because she also helped me during my bad times. I didn't go through with it either because I couldn't take the **$ 10** I gave because I was also busy at that time. So far, this has been a lesson to me.
My Goal For the month of May.
***Just Enjoy*****.**
For now I won't focus too much on BCH but I will continue to explore **Cryto-verse** because I will be busy this month. I have a lot to fix and prioritize this April. One of these are the requirements for our graduation. We are already preparing our picture for our graduation as it is approaching. This month also we will do a lot of performance tasks because the end of quarter 3. I will put myself first and be happy. This is my goal this month.
***Our Internet Bill.***
Actually, I'm not sure on this yet. My mother and I have also talked about this matter. Last month my body was forced to grind here at read to pay our internet bill which was part of my surprise to my mother. I also have a hard time balancing my **academic** and doing articles so I decided not to force myself into this matter but if it takes what I can get before our bill arrives, I will answer our internet bill again. But if it doesn't work out, I'll just give money to my mother from my **E-Loading** business to help pay our internet bill.
***Earn $30+ on Noise.cash***
Making noise with Noise.cash is one of the things I do in a day. I often put out rants there and sometimes I also share lessons I learn in a day. I have some ups and downs there but I am ready for it to happen. I'm just going with the flow.
My Wish for the month of May.
Another month has passed. Time passed very quickly. Unbeknownst to me, another month had passed on the calendar. My wish this month is that it will be more gracious and more fun. I hope my family, friends and acquaintances don't get sick. Hopefully we stay safe from disasters.
***May, please be good to us.***
***Closing Remarks.***
Hopefully I can fulfill the my goals and wishes for this month. Especially my **health** and **happiness** this month. Recently, I'm feeling stress again but I'm working on it right now. I am looking for a way to prioritize my mental health and the mental health of my family. Hope everything goes well soon. **Hope all our wishes and desires come true**

****Roller Coaster of Emotions: My two-month experience at read.cash**** https://read.cash/@Maestro02/roller-coaster-of-emotions-my-two-month-experience-at-readcash-b8850f81
It Starts with a Pen.
We often use a **pen** to play with **letters** and **numbers** through a **pad** or **paper** because this is what we are used to using it for. We also use the pen to make **stories**, **essays**, **poems**, etc.
But in this article, I will share with you my story about that ***'pen'***. You can even share your story about that 'pen' below.
**I started learning to draw because of a pen.**
When I was only **5 years old**, I started to take an interest in drawing. I used to hold a pen and paper because I was not studying at the time. The pen and paper came from my father because he loves to write numbers for his '**LOTTO**'. I always borrow it to draw ‘**cartoon figures**’ and ‘**monsters**’. I also do battlefield through paper and use creativity to put it into practice.
I also remember holding the pen more often then than the **pencil**. Even when I was in elementary I preferred to use the pen rather than the pencil because the pencil we used most often back then was the fat pencil because it was what was required and I was not comfortable with it.
Everything just changed when I was in high school and started going into being a **Visual Artist**. What I used most often when I was a visual artist were **pencils** and **paintbrushes**.
*I can say that the* ***pen*** *is really a big part of my life because the pen thought me to be more creative.*
I learned how to read because of the pen.
It wasn't a literal pen that taught me to read. It became part of my learning to read because it was what my mother and I used before I entered into **Day Care Center.**
I remember I was crying all the time before because my mother was beating me because I was making mistakes in what I was reading. She used this way for me to learn to read because she said I was naughty and didn't pay attention to what we were studying. Even though this was my experience to **learn to read,** it resulted in me receiving the '**Most Excellent Student**' Award. I was number 1 in the class and my mother was overjoyed.
I am also thankful for the **pen** that even though it always hits my hand ***it yields beautifully***. I was not hurt or hurt badly because it was only part of my mother's discipline.
*Until now I will never forget it because it became the way for me to learn.*
**I will continue to use the pen to achieve my dream.**
I am now a **grade 12** student under at **HUMSS** Strand. I use the pen to write lots of **essays**, **stories** and **answer lots of quizzes** and **activities**. I still remember when I was in **grade 11** and I was just innovating in the new environment I entered. I remember being shocked at the number of **essays** we were asked to do because almost all of my subjects were about **language** and **social sciences.** Until now that we are in ‘**New Normal Education**’ we are still doing essays and stories to gain new knowledge.
I will continue to use the pen for my **dream**. The pen is a big part of me because I still use it to this day.
Recently I bought a lot of **signpens** because I quickly run out of ballpen with the amount I write in a day. Even though I write a lot of **essays**, **lectures** and answering **activities** in one day, I do not regret it. I believe that its replacement is wisdom that will help me in the future. Even though we are no longer with my father who I used to borrow a pen for, I will still continue to draw and to explore new knowledge. I will continue to write poems, essays and stories for my future and for my dreams. I will continue to use the pen to share and to gain knowledge.
Whatever **color** of a pen we use today, it has only one goal. That is to **write** and **draw** our future. Even if we run out of pens, we should not regret it. The replacement of the many pens you have used is **knowledge**.
How about you? What is your story about a pen? You can share it in the comment section below.

**Note**: This article is the work of my brother. He also has an account here on read but since he created his account and published an article I noticed that we don't receive any tips from the bot. I noticed that the bot didn't notice me because sometimes we publish articles at the same time.
The reason we are looking at is our **IP address** because we only use one wifi. So I thought of publishing here some articles that he can do. All the tips earned from this article will go to him so that he can also save for himself.
I hope you enjoy this article and I hope you also learn the lesson of this article.

Where can we feel happiness?
;In what way can we be happy? I created a poem, which will answer my questions.
“Hanapin” (find, realize,)
“Isang papel at panulat aking karamayan,
sa isang gabing puno ng kalungkutan,
gabing nagtatago ako sa mga papel at salita na aking karamay,
gabing hindi ko namalayan na basa na ang papel na aking karamay,
dulot ng mga luhang pumapatak galing sa aking mga mata,
dulot ng mga panghuhusga,
dulot ng nakalimutan ko na kung saan ako nagsimula,
dulot ng mga ala alang masasaya na ngayon wala na,
inisip na siguro hanggang dito nalang,
naisip na siguro ito na ang katapusan.
Ngunit isang gabi ang nagdaan,
dinaanan lang ang kalungkutan,
humakbang sa kalungkutan,
at hindi pumayag na hanggang dito nalang, hahakbang sa pagkakalubog sa putikan,
at aalahanin kung saan nagsimula,
kung saan nasaan ang saya,
hindi hahayaan na ito ay hindi nalang basta magiging ala ala,
kung saan nga ba tunay na sasaya,
kung sa paanong paraan nga ba sasaya.
Iaahon ang sarili mula sa pagkakalubog, papatunayan na hindi kailangan maglugmok, papatunayan na hindi kailangan malubog, magiging aral ang pagkakalubog.
at sabihing ako ito si Lusio na gustong maging jumbo hotdog para kaya ko na to. hahaha”
I just want to say in the poem I made, that you can. That even if life is full of problems, you can. You don't have to give up, and you will always remember that you are not alone, do what makes you happy. Don't say you can't, be who you are. Yes,you can. I believe in you. As we travel around the world, sometimes we stumble, sometimes we get lost, may we always fight in the world we move in because there are people who will really come down to us, but I hope what they say will make you a lesson, finish what you have learned because I believe, ***WE WILL ALL SUCCEED***.
I hope this article helps you, I hope you always have a positive mindset. Don’t think that you are trapped, you are free, may you always be happy.
I know it’s hard, I know you’re struggling, but keep going, no matter how hard, no matter how hard, we can also reach success. I believe all sorrow can be replaced by joy, be yourself inspired, be happy with yourself. When you are tired, you can rest, be strong, without anyone and anything that can bring you down. Mistakes can be made up for, don't be afraid to make mistakes, because no one is perfect, *“Lahat tayo nagkakamali, Lahat tayo ay makakabawi.”* So when there is a problem, don’t fall, you’re not weak, you’re strong.
**God is good**, we just always pray to him, he can help us, he is always there for us. Never forget God, always thank him, because he is the cause of our happiness, he provides for our needs. Don’t stay in the dark, don’t let the darkness take over you, even if you are in a very dark place, always go to the light and there is the right path. If you feel, you have no ally in this world, he is there, he will never be lost, believe in him, he is powerful, nothing is impossible with him, he loves us all very much, so I hope we love him very much too.
God will correct us from our wrong paths.
Don't be Affected by what Other's Thinking.
Thank you so much for reading!!

I Made my Mom more Proud.
I also said in my past article (**My 'New Normal' Education****)** that the education system that exists today in the Philippines is not very good. I will admit, the education system that is spreading in the Philippines today is not very effective in terms of the learning. https://read.cash/@Maestro02/my-new-normal-education-30c296be
However, a student can still learn if they study it but face to face classes are really different. As a student I feel like I'm just studying to pass the requirements and **not to learn**. My aunt is a teacher and she also admitted to me that the education system we have today can no longer be called ***"quality education"*** which is the cause of the pandemic we are experiencing.
Despite of the education system and mode of learning we have in the Philippines, I still try to learn and study because I don't want to be left. Of course the main reason for this is to help my family and fulfill my dreams.
*The Run Through.*
My **1st quarter** of being a **grade 12** student was difficult because it took place with modular distance learning. I struggled because I only serve modules as a teacher and **not a** **real teacher**. It was also difficult for me when the quarter was just starting because the amount of work that I had to be done is too heavy. Luckily I finished the 1st quarter and even got the **"With Honors"** award.
My mom was happy because I also retained my **‘Top 3’** title in our class. Actually, I am no longer aspiring because almost all of my colleagues in **‘Top’** are also not very active in their studies because it is no longer the same as before. But thank god I passed and I still retained my title.
**THE NEW JOURNEY**. We can call the second quarter as **'The New Journey'** because it is the last quarter of the First semester and this is also where the new challenges will enter.
The second quarter was more difficult for me because I did more performance tasks, we answered more module activities and also more presentations we finished. But by the end of the second quarter I was relieved because we had a one-week break because of the holy week.
I was also nervous for a month because our grades also took a month in the second quarter because of the **COVID-19 restrictions** that took place.
**20th of April, 2021**. This is the day of retrieval and distribution of our modules and LASs for quarter 3 of the 2nd semester and this is also the day of our **report card retrieval.**
I was nervous at first because I thought my grade dropped especially in **"Media Information Literacy"** because of the many performance tasks I did there.
When my mother entered our door she said to me that **"Hey Son, you got with Honors!"** but I didn't believe it because she wasn't very serious about what she said. But when I saw the Certificate and report card in the envelope that my mother took from our school, I just screamed at what I saw.
I saw that my grades went up even more. I also saw that I became **“With High Honors”** as well. I didn’t actually expect to get with high honors in the second quarter but I got it and finally I was able to say that;
***"I MADE MY MOTHER PROUD AGAIN"***
Actually, I didn't experience any pressure in my studies because my mother didn't put pressure on me. She always said that I should just improve my education and not neglect my health but I never heard the word **"you should be like this"**, **"you should always be on top".**
I also don’t expect too much of myself but I see the ability in myself so I must keep it up. As I always say, **I do it all for my family, my mom and for my dreams.**
***"I will never get tired of dreaming until someone believes and supports me. I will also not give up on my dreams to make up for the hardships of my parents.***
***Lubos ang aking kagalakan, Sa ama lahat ng kapurihan"***

Flowers and Photography: Some of my Best Shots for this Month.
**Photography** is not new to me because it becomes my way of expressing my **emotions** to something. **Photography** and the **arts** pave the way for me to further expand my creativity in making an art piece. Often, when I make drawings my frequent subject is the flower because ever since It was my favorite subject even before I starting to learn to paint.
*What is Photography?*
***According to Wikipedia:***
**Photography** is the **art**, **application**, and **practice** of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as **photographic film.** https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography&ved=2ahUKEwiSmu27yozwAhWWxYsBHZvMCQ4QFjARegQIMBAF&usg=AOvVaw26sJiStI0bXTMqyMZaN68M
I believe I got my **passion** for taking pictures with my mom because she loves to take pictures of things. I got my passion for painting and drawing from my father because he was a **frustrated artist** but I fulfilled his dream because I am now a graduate and a **full-fledged** **Visual Artist.**
I still have a lot to learn when it comes to **photography** but I am satisfied with some of my shots now because I can see an improvement in my ability. In this article I will share with you **some of my best shots** this month. You can suggest something I can improve at the comment section below so that I can grow more in my passion. I'm open for **constructive criticism** if you notice anything wrong with my creations.
***"Happiness within me."***
What I want to show in this photo is a flower that is in the middle of a world that is **chaotic** and **noisy** but she still prefers to choose pleasure for herself. I also believe that **yellow** symbolizes **happiness**, **enlightenment** and **sunshine**. I can also compare it to my life because I once chose my pleasure over the **turbulent** world we live in today.
What I’m referring to is my experience that I chose to be quiet on **facebook** and other social media platforms I used to use rather than messy and toxic to stay there. We know that facebook is one of the ways for us to know about some events around us and it is also the way for some other people to fight. I’m glad I found this platform because I can bring out my **emotions** and **passions** by writing articles.
***"The day will also come when we will be gone and we will rest."***
What this picture symbolizes is the **death** of a person. Like a **flower**, the day will come when we will rest from the **difficulties** and **sorrows** we feel. There will also come a time when all **pleasure** will be gone and we will leave the things we are used to and love. Hopefully before this happens all our dreams for ourselves and our family will come true.
We must always remember that before we reach this **look** and **form**, we have gone through a lot of sufferings first and we can say that this has been the way for us to **grow** and **learn**.
***"The hardships I carry until now."***
This picture symbolizes the **things a person is carrying**. **Difficulties** are symbolized by the waters that a flower carries when it is watered or wet. We must always remember that not only is it always '**fun**' caused by a '**comfort**' but it also brings with it **sadness**. Maybe after the pleasure we have experienced we will experience **misery** and **sorrow**. But let's not give up, instead let's look for a **possible solution** to a problem.
Closing Thoughts
I’ve loved it ever since. I just don’t get much time because I’m busy with other things. I also believe that I can get together for my dream camera but I will prioritize other more important things first.
What can you say about my art pieces? You can tell it in the comment section below.

Thank you so much for the sponsorship sir @lucas. Take care as always. 🤍✨
Just Keep Going Even if it’s Hard.
Have you ever experienced being a **paper**? I mean, a piece of paper that when written by any medium that can be use to **write**, the paper will have a writings using that **medium** and when it lasts, it will be just **dirt** and will just be **crumpled** and thrown away. ***I haven’t experienced it yet but I know I’m on my way to it.***
What I refer of being a paper is our characteristics as a **human being**. Just few days ago, a lot of things has tried and tested my **patience**. It tested my **strength**, **endurance**, **discipline**, **diligence** and many other things that make me to move forward. I am happy with my achievements this month especially the gift I gave to my mother.
Just this April I was able to pay for our internet using the earnings I accumulated here on this platform. As I always say ***"I'm doing this to help my mom and so she can save money this month because I know she also has something else to buy."***
At first I was happy but a few hours after I paid our internet bill, many things went through my mind. One of these was the pressure I felt at that time. I felt the preassure and weight of the responsibility of a **firstborn**. It is reasonable because my father is gone. He passed away when I was only at **9th grade**. After he totally leave us, my ***'Kuya and father roles'*** in our family began. Sad though but must be accepted.
Before I planned my goal for this month, my mother always complained about this thing so I had the idea to help her. The ussual source of the paymet of our bill is the rent of our **former house** that we rented so that we can at least have a passive income every month.
Last month I am not confident to get the responsibility to pay our bill because I haven’t managed my income here at Read and as well as with Noise. But this month I made an outline for my **goals** and **plans** to see my ability and perseverance in this matter.
I was not wrong, I was **tested** and I **learned** something about this matter. I’ve gotten almost all of my goal except for one because the month isn’t over yet. All of the earnings that go to me will just accumulated and I will save it for my E-Loading business and savings.
After a few days, I found a friend who gave advices and tried to understand my situation. I told to her some problems and rants in my life. She also gave me some advice that eased my thoughts. I just want to thank @mixx because even though it's not her duty to talk and help me, but she talked to me and she still gave me some time to have a conversation.
***Closing thoughts.***
What I realized that we **don't need** to force things to fit into our expectations. There may be things that favor to what you want but expect that there are still some things that will hinder what you want to achieve.
***"Expect the unexpected"***
Sometimes we help others with their problems even though we can't fix our problems, **am I right? What do you think?**
All I hold on to now is my **promise** to my mother that I will be able to finish school and achieve everything she did not achieve. I remember, she always telling me that she wanted to be a teacher, so now I took a **Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education** course to continue my **mother's dream** and to pursue my talent.
***"Not everything suits our expectations. There are things that we don't expect to come but let's hope that someone will also come to help us. We can also find someone to talk to so that our feelings don't weigh down. Even if they don't understand what you feel, as long as you release it, it's done. What's important is that you express your thoughts. "***

Roller Coaster of Emotions: My two-month experience at read.cash
Like I said in my past articles, I really want to be a ***writer*** and ***author*** on a site or a book. I didn’t expect to be able to accomplish this here at **read.cash** and I also met a lot of friends and authors that producing **quality articles.** Read.cash also helped me a lot, especially in **financial** and expressing my **emotions**.
I was able to share my personal stories through read.cash
In the two months of being an **author** here at read.cash, I have also been able to share my **personal life experiences***.* This platform has become a way for me to reminisce and relive the **successes**, **sorrows**, and **joys** I have experienced. There were a few who were inspired by my story and I am **happy** about that because there is someone who can relate and appreciate the stories I shared.
Being an author is difficult because you have to share stories that introduce and describe an object or event, whether it is a **fictional** or **real-life story**.
In my two-month experience here, I have been an **author**. I have also known many authors whom I admire because of their **quality** contents. (*I won't name them because I want this to be private but I admire them because they create quality articles*.)
**This platform helps me to my save for my future.**
Aside from the fact that this platform helping me to share my emotions and stories in my life, it also helps me with my **financial needs**. Because of this platform, I can now buy **things** that I only wanted before, but now I can accumulate for the things I want through this platform and I can buy using it. This platform also helps me to help my mother to save money. I have already saved money for our **internet bill** which is part of my gift to my mom this month. When she found out that I will pay our internet bill this month, she was very happy because she will be able to gather again some money from the rent of our old house.
I'm happy that in the two months I've been here, I've also **accumulated** an amount that I used to just look at other users before on read.cash. I don’t expect to get things like this either so I’m always grateful to aunt @carisdaneym2 because she introduced me to this platform.
This platform became the way for me to learn.
I learned many lessons on this platform. I learned to grow my **vocabulary** and **writing skills**. I will admit, I am not very good at vocabulary and grammar because if you will notice in my past articles I also have a lot of **grammatical errors** but another reason why I came in here is to ***learn*** and to ***grow***.
"***There's always a room for learning."***
We should **never** think that we are the best at doing all the things we used to see at other people because everyone has their **own** abilities. You may be able to do something that others cannot. So let us be thankful for **everything** we receive. If we want to learn, we can study and try to do such things. We don't know, one day you may be better than them but we must always be **humble** and never placed ourselves at the **peak of the mountain**.
Closing Thoughts:
Everything I mentioned here is just a few of the things I got and experienced in the two months of being an **author** here at **read.cash**. I can say that I had a ***roller coaster of emotion***s on this platform. It is fun mixed with excitement that sometimes makes me feel sad every time I do an article.
To everyone who knows and supports "***Maestro02***" I just want to thank you because you are the reason why I continue and still make articles. Just like I said before that I will say again, I did all of this for my **mother** and also for my **future**.
***"Thank you so much for your support. Adiós! "***

My Gifts for my Mom this Month of April
I also mentioned in my article before that I am giving gifts to my mother this April because I already have a plan for it and it is also included to my monthly income. March taught me how to balance my earnings from **noise.cash** and **read.cash** and soon to **binance** and many other things I could earn.
Appreciation for Her.
I had a plan last month that I would monitor my money this month so I could give gifts for my mom. My mom doesn't like things because she's not used to such things either but she loves foods like me. I planned last month to give my mother at least as much money first this month to add to her savings because the only source of our money now is the rent of our old house which also goes almost to our internet which costs **1500 pesos or 30.90 in US dollars.**
I gave **₱500** or **$10.30** to my mother just last **April 10** because I know she also buys vitamins from my siblings. Actually, I already have **₱610 ($10.25) Bills** now and **118(5.85) coins** which when combined is **₱728($15)**. I know it's not that big but she also has other things to pay and I know it will help him. I also promised to her that I would give her more because I would persevere in what I was doing right now.
Her reaction was **priceless** when I handed it to her. At first she was surprised and she didn't take it because she said it was my money and I should save it but what I said that it was really for her because I saved it for her. I also said that we were the only two to work together because my was gone. I have also decided to myself that in the future I will be the **breadwinner** of our family because I am the **eldest grandchild** and **son** because my grandmother and I live under the same roof where they help us with the expenses in the house.
My Major Gift for my Mom.
Now I'm currently saving for our **Internet bill** so that mommy's stress can be reduced and she can save more to her savings. She is aware that I will pay our internet bill worth **₱1500** or **$30.90** because I told her about this and I will pay it through **Shopee**.
The reason whyI can't withdraw money yet is because my **Gcash** and **Coins.ph account** has not been verified. My Mom was **overjoyed** and I could feel the **joy in her heart** when I said this. I just told him this through a call before because she was at my aunt's house which is in another city that is also not that far from my home. From this way I can help my mother and she can save **1500 pesos** in her savings.
Right now I'm still wondering if I'll pay next month because right now it's just a test and I'm still monitoring my earnings from **read.cash** and **noise.cash** but I've already got the minimum income so I am now confident that I will be able to pay our bill this month.
Closing Thoughts.
I will never get tired of repaying all the suffering my parents made to us. I will always be grateful for all the sacrifices and hardships they went through in the past just to support us. I am very grateful to Tita @carisdaneym2 because she introduced me to the platforms that become the source of my allowances today.
Ever since then I have always given my mother. Even though she wasn't asked to receive any amount from my salary when I was a full time artist and used to do portraits often before, I still give her some because I know she's the reason why I prefer to continue with the things I love. because they are there to support me.
Thank you for always supporting and reading my articles. Adiós! ☕

Do you still remember your Life before the Pandemic?
Do you still remember your life before the **Pandemic**? If you ask me about this, my answer will always be **yes**. I still remember everything but I can **never** go back. Things we used to do before the **pandemic** may happen again, but I can say that now is not the right time for such things. It's hard to admit but I'm used to my life now. Now I am a **writer**, **Mental health concern**, and a **blogger**. There may be things I didn't mention there that I'm doing now but the ones I mentioned are what I'm currently doing.
In this article I will share with you my life before the pandemic. What you can read are a **few** **insights** of my event when I was still studying and no pandemic was spreading yet.
**Before the pandemic, I was an Artist.**
Ever since I went to **high school**, I have always been excited about '**Fiesta**' in our city. Every festival here with us there is a **parade**, **bands** **playing** and most of all there is a **street dance competition.**
What catches my attention the most when there is a **fiesta** here with us is the **streetdance** because it is automatic that we will paint the **backdrops**, **props** and **costumes** for the said activity. Often when we have this kind of work we excuse our classes because we will be making **props** and **costumes** all day. It usually takes a **whole week** to make props and backdrop.
I remember back then, I was usually the **spectator** in poster making contests because I didn't participate in this contest because I wasn't my **forte**. I also often use my **artistry** in role plays and in fact I was even a **director** when I was in **grade 11** because we had to perform a **musical play** that was part of our mark. I miss these times. I miss being active in the arts because now I am a writer and author in read.cash and noise.cash. I don't regret that I ended up in this situation but my life before the pandemic was really different.
**Before the Pandemic, I was a Leader.**
This is the biggest backdrop we’ve done in my entire life. I **developed** the **idea** and **concept** of this backdrop. I'm proud because while we were doing and composing it, I proved a lot to myself. One of these is my ability to **think** of concepts. Many praised our work especially my concept. I am very happy because my work has been praised but we should still be humble **no matter** who hears our works and **no matter** how much appreciation our works are. I also often become the leader in our classroom activies because they believe in **leadership skills** and in the way I lead.
I am **grateful** because they are happy with my **concepts** and **policies** if there are any activities. I also miss thinking of concepts and ideas because nowadays I don't do it much and it's rare, unlike before when we have **role play**, **performance** **tasks** and **activities** almost every day.
Before the Pandemic, I was an Adventurer.
I still remember that every time we went home we always passed by the "**wag-wag**" or **clock tower** area where many people sell street foods. Street foods are also one of my favorite foods that I miss now. It became even more of a favorite because I eat with my friends every time we go home. If someone comes early , we will wait so that we can eat street foods together. It’s not just of **course** the food that gets exciting every time we go home. This also includes our **route** home. What we go through when we go home is also far away so we can still **talk** for a long time about our days. Lots of **stories**, **memories** and **things** that have formed in our paths. There was also time for us to go home at night because we had already left school late and we were still passing through here even at night.
Closing Thoughts:
I also did this article to recall my **memories**. I did this so that I would not forget the **happy memories** that happened that I will still remember because I am happy that I experienced it. **I’m glad I met my friends.**
How about you? **What was your life like before the pandemic?** You can list it below.

I Will Always be Grateful for all the Support I Receive.
I have many **friends**, **family**, and **subscribers** to **read.cash** and **noise.cash** knows that I am an **artist**. They know my situation now during the pandemic that I can **no longer** do artworks often because I am more focused on academics and writing articles.
**Author's Note:** I created this article not to **brag** but to **inspire**. I hope you will learn the lesson that I want to portray.
Since my childhood, I have been supported by my family. Especially of my mom and dad. **Simple** **pencil** and **paper** when I was young is fine with me because I can draw the things I want to draw. I still remember when I was in **grade 2,** what I often held was **pencil** and **paper** but I used it to draw people and cartoon figures rather than write what was on the blackboard.
They saw potential in me so they continue to **support** me. When I was in 6th grade, my aunt bought me a set of **art supplies**. It is fully equipped with **pencils**, **eraser**, **color pencils**, **water color**, **paint brush**, **pallette** and many other tools that can be used to create art. At that time my aunt did not have any children so she could still buy me things that were so beautiful and expensive. I had so much fun during those times because I really wanted to be a full-time artist.
When I was in high school, my father enrolled me in a **curriculum** that taught the **arts**. At first I had a hard time but with the help of the **older artists** I was with there in the curriculum, I learned. They guided us until we learned the basics and the complex things we had to learn if we were to make artworks.
**Four years later**, I finished my high school and I graduated with a title as a ‘**Visual Artist**’. I was very happy then because I had fulfilled my dream because I already have a lot of knowledge in the basics of the arts and also have four years of **experience** in making **paintings** and **portraits**. But the pleasure was replaced by sadness because my father who was also an artist no longer reached my success. He never caught me accepting the **medal** which I won in local tournaments in the arts industry because he passed away when I was only in **grade 9.** Even so, I continued fighting and I offered it to my family, especially my father, everything I would fight for.
**The Biggest Support I Received.**
**3rd of April,2021**.
We went to my aunts in **Carranglan**, **Nueva Ecija** which is also not far from our house. It took 2 hours to travel from here to there so we had another tiring trip. We went there to visit my father's siblings and also to pick up the **item** my uncle had sent us from **Canada**.
I was full of emotion of what I saw because my uncle sent me **172 Pcs of professional color pencils.** I used to only see it used by **professional artists** in the online group I joined '**Guhit Pinas'** which created realistic and beautiful masterpieces. I will admit, this equipment is expensive but I appreciate more the **support** my uncle gives me.
My uncle is not reflective of me on such things. Yes, he said before that I was good and that I would go far in the arts industry, but I don't think I will receive this much **support** from them.
When I got this item I immediately texted him and **thanked him very much**. I did not ask for such a thing, but I still receive more than I imagine. I am ready to help someone who is willing to learn the arts. This is also what I say and do to my junior high school juniors who want to learn the arts.
Even if we feel like there is a **pandemic** right now, it will not be an obstacle to pursuing our **dream**. I may not be able to continue my being a **full-time** artist because of the many academics that are being done right now but I believe I will be able to pursue this in the near future as well. **Padayon,Everyone**!
Closing Thoughts;
I was even more **determined** to continue to grow my ability especially and a **new** art style opened up for me. For the rest of my life I will be **grateful** for all the **support** I receive. Starting with my **fights**, **commissions** and **art-related** projects, my family is there to **support**. I am so grateful to have them. I know I still have a lot to learn and I am always open for it.
I am very **grateful** to everyone. You can count on me to pursue my dream especially of being a **writer**, **singer** and a great **artist**. I didn’t really need the thing and I also didn’t ask for such a thing, but **I received more than I imagine**.
**Again, thank you so much!**

My Goals and Wishes for the Month of April.
**"New month. New challenges. New Realizations. New Blessings. "**
This is the quote I always remember when there is a **passing** and **coming** month on the calendar. I have learned many changes and lessons from the month of **March**. I remember, I met **read.cash** last month which gave me a way to help my **family** and buy the necessities and wants and most of all, **read.cash** also helped me show how I feel. Although I made many changes and adjustments, starting with sleep, time management, and mindset just to create articles and share stories and knowledge on read.cash, but it did not stop me from continuing. In fact, it even paved the way for me to make more new **friends** and open up **new** **dreams** in life.
**I only have two wishes for the month of April**;
My first wish is to return everything to the past where life is **more comfortable** compared to our lives **today**. Maybe **not everyone** will agree with me because maybe other people have different reasons for it. But for me, I prefer my life before, compared to the life I have now during the pandemic. I will admit, I had a hard time with academics and being a leader in art-related contests at school before but I am having a harder time now. In terms of **education**, what I am experiencing now is more difficult. I'm not learning enough and I can say that it's like I'm just passing the requirements to **graduate**. This was not my mindset then, I would rather be active in academics then than in the contest I joined. But now, I feel like it's all just a hard game.
So hopefully **April**, everyone will back. If it doesn’t come true this month, I will still keep asking and wishing for it.
I hope I fulfill all my **long-term** and **short-term** goals. First of all, I want to graduate and become such a **teacher**. I also want my parents to build a **house** and return all their **hardships** and **sacrifices** to our siblings because I believe that in this way I can make them happy. These are my **long-term** goals.
For **short-term** goals, these are my current plans that will also help me and my family. This is to at least help them with our internet payment here at home. I'm saving because I want to buy a new laptop or smartphone.This is my second wish, **April**.
**My goals for the month of April.**
To help pay our internet bills.
I have created a new wallet in the **bitcoin.com** **wallet** so that I can put the funds I can save here. I also talked to my best friend of ten years who said he would help me withdraw money through cebuana Lhuillier. It costs **1500 pesos** or more or less **32 $** that I have to save to carry out my plan.
I also feel sorry for my mother because what we are paying now on our internet is the rent of the usual house. I just want him to collect it and save it for future purposes.
Project 1 $ for a day.
This is the most fund I can save in April. What I save in this wallet will go towards savings that I will allocate in the future and purchase a new laptop or smartphone. So far I have 2$ here but 30 $ needs to be in this wallet because there are 30 days left in the month of April. I had already started before but March was coming to an end.
A gift for my self.
I included this in my goal for this month because it is really one of my dreams to give myself something like this from my savings. Its source fund is my noise.cash account. I already bought a starlight this month of march and I am so happy because I fulfilled my dream for the month of march. I have also set up and sold a lot this March. I was able to buy things that would help me with my studies. I have also bought the items we need here at home and the items requested by my **grandmother**, **grandfather** and **mother**. I am happy because I bought things for them. But all of that was not in the plan.
**Closing Thoughts.**
**The month of March taught me many lessons**. I have already made an outline for my of the goals for this month. I will not reduce my funds this month unless if there will be an emergency and if it is really necessary. This is my plan and wish, **April**. Hopefully time will agree with me again. Thank you so much to everyone who supported and believed in me. The result of my plans I will show you after this month.

Always take your 'Me Time'
**Hey Remember,**
Have you got ‘**me time**’ for yourself? Do you know this is important? Did you know you need it? Do you know you deserve it? Yes. You heard it right, you deserve it.
What are the reasons why I need to take my 'me time'?
It is not new for us to value and take care of ourselves because this is the first step we can keep ourselves safe. But, why do I always take '**me time'**? Well, ‘**me time**’ is very important for a person because it serves as a person’s rest time despite the amount of stress he/she experience in a day or season. You may be facing heavy work and piles of work but don’t forget to relax and take ‘**me time**’ despite how tired you feel. Taking ‘**me time**’ is also important in our **mental health** because it reduces the **stress** we feel.
**My 'Me Time'.**
**Tuesday**, **March 29, 2021**,
I felt tired and bad because maybe for a whole week I was just doing **schoolworks**. Even though the subjects are difficult and there is a lot to finish, I know I still deserve to **rest**. This is what I learned last semester, that we don’t have to rush things even if we chase something sometimes, learn to be careful and sure in everything we do.
From morning to noon, I felt different so I also took medicine for the headache. In the morning I just wrote a little when I woke up but when noon came I felt dizzy so I put my cellphone away and took a nap first. Around **4:30 pm** I woke up, my head hurt again because maybe I just woke up. Later, my mother offered me a **mango** because she said she would pick it up. I answered yes because I also missed eating mangoes.
**I realized that maybe I was just too focused on my studies which often started my stress and even resulted in my depression in the past.**
That same night, I thought of just finishing the job I had left in the morning and I took my **'me time**' as well. I thought of inviting my siblings to watch '**MULAN**' because I remembered that I hadn't even watched this movie. I was excited and I realized that it had been a long time since I had done such a thing. I often watch **movies**, **anime** and **listen** to music when I am feeling tired **mentally** and **physically**. This way I value myself and I also support the other needs of my body.
**The Lesson.**
This day has been a success. I can say that a person really needs rest in the **tiring world** he/she lives in. Hopefully, we don’t forget that we are not **robots** but **human beings** who also need rest. It’s fun to do things that we can help our family especially if we’re **earning mone**y through it, but we can’t do it anymore if we’re the ones to **lose** because we’ve exhausted ourselves with overwork.
**I hope you know that you are important too**.
I hope you know that you have **value** too. You don't need the concern of others to make you feel that they love you. **Only you can understand yourself**. **Only you** can help yourself when no one is there for you. This is what I he/she learned since I was doing my '**me time**'. Hope you value yourself as well. Always remember, **you are importan**t too just like everyone else.
I hope you learned the lesson of my story. Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 🤗✨

Music benefits my life: Benefits of music to my life
For me, listening to **music** has many benefits. Music helps my **physical health**, **mental health,** and many other things that help my daily life. Before we proceed to the main topic of this article, we must know the meaning of music first.
What is music?
**Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. It is one of the cultural universal aspects of all human societies.** https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music&ved=2ahUKEwio3KOtwNDvAhWFPXAKHZv8BScQmhMwDXoECAQQAg&usg=AOvVaw3MfvwhrZC2BxWNTEtdymMz
In this article, I will share with you the help that the benefits of music have given me.
Note: The things to mention are just a few of the benefits I receive and get from music. If there is something I can't mention you can share it in the comment section below.
Music reduces my stress.
I believe that one of the things that can help you when you are experiencing **stress** is to do the things you **want** and other things that can **relieve** how you feel. One of them is doing the things you love. I may say that listening to music is the best example for this because I love music ever since.
Listening to music helps me in the way that music reduces the **stress** I feel. What I often listen to is **R&B** or **Rhythm and Blues,** **Soft songs** or the kind of song with just a **gentle** sound, **Jazz**, **Pop**, and **Funk songs**. I often play music because I often feel stressed. I’ve also done an article on how we can deal with stress, and music is one of the ways for it.
Music helps me to do Art.
As an **artist**, I also have a lot of **inspiration** to continue making art even though there are many other responsibilities that need to be considered. Music is one of my **inspirations** to continue the **art** I have. Music helps often because music dictates the mood and what I need to draw. Frequently, music **tells me what I need to draw** because music defines **what I am**. In short, music becomes the **instrument** for me to **express** how I feel by creating art.
I still remember the times when the pandemic was just beginning and I was still only currently receiving commissioned portraits and listening to music can speed up my work. Also at the time when the pandemic was just beginning, only music was with me when I was feeling **stressed**. How about you? What did music help you with when the pandemic just started?
Music stimulates memories.
I believe that when you hear a song it will never disappear from your mind because it is already **sealed** from the moment you hear it. I also believe in the quote **“Music Last Forever just like the memories we had”.** I believe that it is similar to a type of music, that also has the characteristic of memories that we can remember if we listen to the music.
We often hear the word **“Theme song”** or the song that offends a lover or someone that reminds him or her of something important to him or her. I often hear this words from my mother that she remembers my father in the song **"Endless love**" which is also their theme song when they married.
Music elevates my mood.
Music helps in finding my **mood** especially if I am **angry**, **disgusted** or **even I just want silence**.
I remember a time when I was feeling **depressed**. Music was one of my **relievers**. Aside from the fact that I sometimes need someone to talk to, I also need silence and find myself.
I often listen to music especially when I am confused with what the world wants to convey. I can say that music has helped a lot in my personality. Music has helped me a lot in becoming an **artist** and whatever I am today.
**How about you?** What has music helped you with? I know that music has helped a person a lot. You can share your thoughts in the comment section below.

I'm not a Green Thumb: My Latest Experience to Plant a Vegetable
I remember when I was in Junior High School we used to plant a lot because we had our garden even though we were in the art section. Our garden is often included in the garden contest because the pots we used are painted by us and the design of the garden is creative. But in my **4 years** of planting experience, I haven’t found myself there. I didn’t see the **potential** to myself of being a good planter or should I say, I am not a **‘Green Thumb’.**
What does 'Green Thumb' mean?
To be naturally skilled at gardening; to be able to help plants grow well. Origin. One theory is that this idiom came into being in the early 1900s and was thought to refer to the mud-stained fingers of gardeners. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bloomsbury-international.com/student-ezone/idiom-of-the-week/to-have-a-green-thumb/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjSwa_a08jvAhXUE4gKHZysCusQFjANegQIAxAG&usg=AOvVaw3I_i2eGGmqBn6DtfoPP_7M&cf=1
The Help.
My teacher is asking for support because we are going to have a '**school garden**' contest and we need plants and vegetables to be planted. My teacher said that we can bring any vegetable or fruit as long as it can support itself and can bear. I told about the contest to my grandmother so I could get help. She pointed her tomato plant and said I could take it if I want to. But the time I plan to plant it, I forgot the method of planting. I was embarrassed to ask my grandmother what to do so I just thought about what I used to do. I got mental blocked that time and looked for something I could use as a **tiller** because we didn’t have a ‘**spoon**’ that was actually used for planting and digging the soil.
My **grandmother** noticed that I seemed confused and worried about how to do what I was digging so she said that she would just dig the tomato for me but I must prepare the soil that we need.
I followed my grandmother's command. I picked up my inprovise plow and filled the black sack with soil as my grandmother's order. I put the sack beside her.
The Process.
My grandmother had already planted and I just watched her how to do it. As I watched her planting, I just keep in mind what she does and remember it for future purposes. Suddenly,I remember that I've done this before but because I was too oblivious, I forgot about this thing. I keep this on mind for the next time I plant, because I believe that I can use this in the near future.
The Lesson.
After he planted the plant, I watered it. I turned on our water hose and I used it to water my plant. It's also tiring even if I didn't do the process. Maybe in the plowing I did and you can see in my hand that it hurt because I used heavy things but I can say that this experience is worth it because I remember the process again of how to plant vegetables and **I can plant properly again next time.**
The next day I passed the plant we had prepared to my school. My teacher was happy because I participate the event. I can say that I helped somehow in this way.
What I have learned from this experience is that there are things **we do not know** or **do not yet know**. But let us remember that we will only blame ourselves if we don't do it or experience it, especially if it is for our own **good**. Others may think what you are doing is bad, but if you are not **hurting other people** and you are not **hurting yourself,** then just **continue** what you are doing especially if it is for the **good** of yourself and for others. How about you? Are you a **Green Thumb**?

The Story of my Depression.
**According to Better Health Channel:**
Depression is a constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest, which stops you doing your normal activities. Different types of depression exist, with symptoms ranging from relatively minor to severe. Generally, depression does not result from a single event, but from a mix of events and factors. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/depression&ved=2ahUKEwj2nra4psDvAhXKad4KHfokB_UQFjAIegQIBRAF&usg=AOvVaw3mb9xW0grneyT-qW6BVdTR
For me, depression is not visible on the face of a person. **You can feel it even if he/she is smiling.** Many depressed people do not see the sign that he is a depressed person. Depression is one of the hardest diseases to fight off. I can’t totally **say** that I am experiencing depression because I have never undergone a specialist. I also can’t **clarify** to the reader of this article how I felt during those times because I often amused myself by doing the article, and using the noise.cash site.
**The Story.**
Hello, I am an **artist**. Many people says that when an artist is free from stress and depression because artists are able to express their emotions and resentments to the world by creating artworks. I agree with this because sometimes you can really express your feelings when you are having fun with something else. But not so much for me. Especially now that I’m studying and also looking for a viable income online because I haven’t been able to get a job at the moment because of the pandemic; and there are few jobs available for specific people.
I think is the reason for my depression these past few months is my education and the pressure under me. I am a student who prefers leadership rather than just being a ‘**dumbbell**’ or the term ‘**do-nothings**’ students. But in exchange for my preference is my mental health. Let's admit it, the education of today's students is not that '**persuasive**', and the education system here in the Philippines is not as **effective** today because we are experiencing a pandemic. Let us also admit that many students have not learned much but are even more stressed due to the number of **requirements** and **performance** that will be passed.
I think this is where my depression starts. I'm stressed with things that I've taken too seriously as a serious thing. My desire to help my family during this pandemic also came along. **To make it short**, **I had depression because I was abusing myself too much on things that I thought I could do at the same time.** **I was too sent to stress and force myself. I thought too much about things that would be bad for my mental health and physical health.**
**March 18, 2021**. The department of Education has declared a semester break for public school students from **grades 1 to 12 only; March 14-19 (Mon-Fri).**
We recieved One week sem-break . But, our section was not included especially me, because I was the leader of our group because we were given reporting that the semester break would be done. I thought a lot of bad things during these times because I was upset because this was the only time I could have rested, but it didn't go on because we still had work to do. As a leader, I still divide up tasks. Monday to Wednesday, we finished the powerpoint. The process took so long because we had to present five topics and only three presentors had to present even though we had 10 members in the group.
Wednesday night, everything was exploding in my brain. I took our presentation very seriously even though I am used to do such things before. That is how I feel super stressed that week. Before I go to sleep that day, I reflect on myself. I realized that I could really do it, that I didn't have to think. Also in conjunction with my reflection on myself,the announcement of my teacher who postponed our presentation tomorrow and it was move to friday.
The Friday.
The next day, I pleased my mother to accompany me to the market and buy the food I wanted to buy . **I made the most of that day.** I buy things I want to buy and eat just to get rid of the **stress and sadness I feel.** The thorn in my chest disappeared when this happened. After that day, I prepared for my presentation and it was as successful as we expected.
May we all know that depression can eat us, especially you. Those who often experience this are those who **smile and laugh. Maybe, you find her/him smiling but deep inside she/he is crying.** Let's find someone to **talk to and help.** May we be aware of our **feelings** and especially of our **emotions**. **Mental health is important too.**

Sunday, March 14, 2021.
There are things that bother me even though I only do one thing and think this past few days because we are on semestral break now; this is my presentation. I start it last Wednesday. I'm not new at presentations. In fact, I am the one who leads every time we had a presentation task. Before, I am not pressured for this type of task. But now, I don't know what to do. I can't focus, literally.
**Am I being reassured? Am I okay?** Well,
By the way, I am writing this part of this article, **Tues, March 16**. Presentation tomorrow. I'm ready, just in case it's bothering my mind.
This Picture was taken on **Mon, March 13**. I don't know why I took this photo. Maybe it's because my tumbler is new and my dream of buying things I couldn't buy before has come true. Actually, I'm proud of myself. I know how to draw. I know how to sing. I know how to dance. I know how to fight. I know how to paint. I know how to calligraphy. I know how to be good. I know how to be a brother. I know how to be a friend. I know how to lead. I know how to be a teacher.
**But the thing is, do I already know myself even though I can do many things?** Is this enough for me to say that I already know myself? **Well, no**. To this day I still fight the silent battles I have. I'm used to being alone, especially in this pandemic because I can't talk online. Do you know it? The feeling that you don't have anything to do online, then you don't want to talk to your housemates. It's like you just want to wake up because you have a lot of thoughts and problems. I keep feeling like I'm a problematic person.
I have been through many battles. I fought Poster Making. I won. There's even a cash prize included. I used the money I won on the things I needed. The pandemic was just beginning. Many also bothered me back then. I Think here it all started. I know that mental health is also important. I actually published an article on how to cope with stress.
**It is easy to give advice but it is hard to do.** It's easy to say don't give up, but when it's hard it's just a matter of committing to stop. As of now, all I'm thinking is to rest. I am ready to do it. I am no longer know the word '**rest**'. I haven't slept well for about 3 months. Many things that have happened that I am not aware of have already happened. I have already won many battles. But Silent battles only. I'm happy because I can do what I want now. Being too free in your world is not a fun thing. Can you tell me how the world is going right now?
I don't know but I'm feeling blessed because maybe of what I receive on a platform like this. I express more here at read.cash because this is my bowl of emotions as of now. I also make other people happy and inspired because of it. My mommy is one of them. She is my no.1 supporter. Although I was often irritable and frowning, she did not accompany me in my anger. She is a very understanding person. I idolize her in other things, especially in dedication to the life we had. I also idolize her in silent battles even though she often cries because of it. I felt sorry for my mother when she cried, but I could do nothing but feel sorry for her.
**I know not every day is not sunday. I promise to myself that I will finish school and I will be able to go to the places I dream of going to. I can also buy the things I dream of. I know it’s not permanent. I will just continue to fight my silent battles.**
**Until now I am confused. Until now I was dizzy. Until now I can’t feel my body. Where am I? I believe, I will also win here.**
Maybe I need some rest for now. 😔

Benefits of Playing Games: Virtual Games and Physical Games
Playing games helps us to grow our abilities. One of these is our social skills that we often learn in '**multiplayer**' games or the games that have an ally and opponent, whether virtual games or physical games.
**According to Kmartine:**
**Games are a fundamental way that humans interact and learn. They provide so many benefits for people of all interests and abilities. Children especially love playing games and these activities provide such a great opportunity for them to practice so many skills. ... And you do not have to let the child win** https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://web.csulb.edu/~kmartine/the_positive_effects_of_playing_video_games.docx&ved=2ahUKEwiO_6eJnq3vAhXPG6YKHZ6DDRYQFjAEegQIGRAF&usg=AOvVaw26gFVO3ba57u9V35qf2_a7
These are some of the skills I have developed by playing virtual and physical games:
Games as my Great Source of Learning.
In the long time of playing games, I learned a lot from it. One of these is learning different mechanics and ways how to play different games. Games can also improve my **academic skills** and creative skills because I often play mind games, educational games, and other games that often make us think about how to play.
Gaming Enhances my Multitasking Skills.
I can say that playing games have helped in growing my multitasking skills. Just like the **Mobile Legends: Bang Bang**. In playing **Mobile Legends: Bang Bang,** you don't just kill the opponent. You must consider other objectives too. If you don't focus on the objectives, you may lose the game. You must think about the objectives of the game like just looking at the life of the opponent, map, lord, turtle, and other things that are included in the objectives needed to win the game.
Gaming Improves my Social Skills.
In playing games, even if it is a virtual game or a physical game, we must consider dealing with our allies and opponents. Before, playing physical and virtual games is just like you are enjoying your life and playing without considering other things but to win. But at present, games can be our career and source of income just like professional gamers do at online games. They practice their skills and social skills to win the game.
We need to grow our social skills because it can help us to understand the true definition of a game. You don't just play the game, you must also need to think about your teammates.
Gaming develop Friendships.
I have been playing physical and virtual games for a long time, and at the same time, I have also played games to make friends. I have made many friends since I was a child because I often play with my neighbors. But now, I made more friends than before because it is easier to make friends online or virtual. I may say that it is easier to make friends or find friends through the games I played because most of us now are playing online games than physical games. if we used to often see children playing outside the house, now it is rare because apart from the pandemic situation that we are experiencing, children are becoming more aware of the virtual games that are in vogue in our time today. If before we rarely saw children holding cellphones, now our children are almost better at using cellphones than us.
Games as Food for our Memory.
Playing games has helped me a lot. I also believe that playing games are a ‘food for our memory’ where playing mind games helps us by enhancing our ability to solve problems. Let’s admit, that playing physical and virtual games has a huge contribution to how we think today. Playing has helped us by teaching us things we haven’t learned yet that we can also apply in real life.
“Playing isn’t bad, it’s only going to be bad if we’re overuse it. Likewise with other things, something will not be bad if it is not excessive. Let us always have discipline in all things. "

How to be an Artist?: Things to Consider if You Want to be an Artist.
Artist
1a : a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination the great artists of the Renaissance an artist specializing in watercolors. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/artist&ved=2ahUKEwj6orPnnqXvAhXjLqYKHd_yDKsQFjADegQIHhAF&usg=AOvVaw0M9iLOVQmM6k4dWqnUUOsj
b : a person skilled in any of the arts I can't draw at all, but both of my children are very talented artists. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/artist&ved=2ahUKEwj6orPnnqXvAhXjLqYKHd_yDKsQFjADegQIHhAF&usg=AOvVaw0M9iLOVQmM6k4dWqnUUOsj
I remember when I was still in my junior high school days. My teacher said that we are an **art**. Yes, you read correctly, we are an art because we are created by artists who are also an art, and this is our father and mother. I agree with what my teacher said. I also thought about who is the best artist in our world; I believe that it is god because he created the most beautiful creatures and things that we can see in our beautiful landscapes.
When I was in art class before, I learned a lot and one of them is that you don't have to be a good painter or performer to be called an **artist**. We can be an artist even if we are not knowledgeable and good at the aforementioned forte. Just an example of a junior student of mine who was a lower year when I was still in junior high school. He doesn't know much about drawing because no one teaches him and he doesn't use any drawing or coloring art mats. But when I finished four years in art class, I was just surprised that he learned the five things I told him and he was even better than me.
These are five things that aspiring artists should also keep in mind;
Practice is a MUST.
Practicing often helps an artist who wants to learn and to be better at his/her forte. In my six years as an artist, it was just 'practicing that helped me a lot. Our teacher was not good at drawing. She doesn't know how to paint. She is good at criticizing our work. She always says that we should always practice and we will be better at the right time.
Be passionate about what you want.
This is not just for those who want to be artists. This is for all the people with dreams. we must be passionate about the things we love because being passionate about the things we love will help us to grow in any field. Therefore, some people are forced only to their chosen field today because other people chose it for them; a good example of this is the choice of parents for their children. **Let us remember that when we are forced to do something, we cannot show our ability in something.**
Do not think of the work of others because you are different from them
Let us remember we are different from other people. We all have abilities that other people cannot do. Just like in the drawing, some artists cannot copy some techniques of other artists.
When I was a child, I had a hard time copying anime and drawing in the comics because It's too hard for me. But when I finished four years of studying in the arts industry, I realize that copying someone's art style never leads to find your techniques in doing art.
You don't need expensive things or anything else that you won't use either.
You don't need expensive stuff or anything else that you won't use in the near future. Whatever you have is enough. you don't need to spend huge money on expensive art mats that you cannot use. All you need perseverance and time because this thing should not be rushed. It will be a bonus only if you were born to be well versed and knowledgeable in the arts industry since you were born.
Always be humble.
This is a characteristic of an artist that should always be remembered even though you have achieved many awards/accomplishments as an artist. We must not lose our humility and kindness when we praise and recognize our deeds. We should not think that we are at the top. We should be open for new learnings.
May this article also help you to find your art. Especially, for those who want to continue finding their art. We should always be grateful for all we receive especially the talent and the life we receive every day.
Thank you so much for reading!✨🤗

How Can I Cope with Stress?
**Stress** is the first thing why I feel dizzy sometimes, out of the mood, often irritable, unable to fulfill desires, quiet and just on one side of a place, and many other reasons. But how do I cope with stress? How can I relax so that my stress does not get worsen?
According to MedlinePlus:
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003211.htm&ved=2ahUKEwiTlIrSkJ7vAhXREqYKHYZzCYYQFjAGegQIBhAF&usg=AOvVaw1J4ls12tL4yAFfqMwvXWK3
**Take note:** It's use depends on the level of stress we can feel and not all of this is recommended by the doctor, but for me, it helps sometimes.
**Here's what I do:**
Find someone who cares about you.
Find someone who cares about you. Get someone to listen when you're stressed and having a problem. Find a way to express your feelings. One example of this is our parents or friends who are close to us.
It helps me sometimes when I feel like I am alone in this world. I remember back then, I felt like I didn’t belong in this world. I felt like I don’t like the world and the people here in the world. I felt like they don’t like the color of my skin, my face, my temperament, the things I do, and much more.
I often tell my problems to my friend. I don’t say all of my problems to my family because sometimes they are also the cause of my stress. One of my closest friends is my friend of ten years who I also mentioned in my article,read it here; **Benefits of having friends**. I mentioned there what the importance of a friend is. I also share there the reason why we became friends. https://read.cash/@Maestro02/benefits-of-having-friends-5d10fdd4
Do things that will lighten your mood.
We often see in movies is screaming in the open-ground, mountains, or wherever they want just to express their feelings.
Often what I do to reduce my stress is to draw and watch videos online. By this, I somehow forget how evil this world is. How bad this world is. I also find myself better when I’m able to do the other things I love. Through this, I grow to suit my preferences.
Whatever it is that will help your mental health by doing it. But always remember not to do bad things because it will only make your feeling worse.
Find your Inner Peace.
I often feel freedom through sleep. When I feel bad about my surroundings or those around me, I sleep to relieve it. Sometimes sleeping is my medicine.
Finding your inner peace can helps you to move freely to our world. You can talk without any worries when you have your inner peace. I think this is the most important thing we need for our mental health. This is the best gift we can receive from this world.
What will you do to find your inner peace? share that in the comment section.
Listen to Music.
I remember my teacher recommending it when I was in grade 11. He said that music can help reduce the bad we feel. We all have different a taste for music. There are so-called rock, jazz, pop, native, instrumental, and many others that can be a cure for our stress. Other people often use sad songs to relieve what they feel. Especially when someone is undergoing stress because of their love life. Some people cry because of the music they listen to because they can relate to the music. My teacher also said that through music, we can realize things that the world realizes us.
Mental health is also important. We must also take care of it. We must also be aware of what can hurt our feelings. Everyone will be careful and thank you very much for listening.

Perks of Giving and Recieving a Hug
We all know the things that can make us feel better. We know what and who the people we associate with. We know when to approach them and help. We can't just ask or approach them, we also need to help them, especially in our bad times.
In this time of the pandemic, it is forbidden to have close contact with someone especially when we are out of the house. Hugging, kissing, and other things done in close proximity were also forbidden. It is based on the safety protocols given by the world health organization. It affects me especially when I could no longer go to school because there I always experience a hug every day. I gives me anxiety and it changed the times I had in my life. I also mentioned this in my one article already, '**The Pandemic Changed me****' ( Read it here.)** https://read.cash/@Maestro02/the-pandemic-changed-me-8a385f52
According to **Wikipedia**:
A hug is a form of endearment, universal in human communities, in which two or more people put their arms around the neck, back, or waist of one another and hold each other closely. If more than two people are involved, it may be referred to as a group hug. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hug&ved=2ahUKEwjfuovI0JbvAhVGZt4KHVxfBt0QFjAQegQIBhAF&usg=AOvVaw27RJce1keX_aRHF1uJX_FR
But have you ever been hugged or embraced by someone? What is the feeling? Does it make you feel better? Because for me, yes, and these are the benefits I get when I receive and give hugs to other people:
Receiving Hugs.
I feel comfortable when I receive a hug from a friend or loved ones I can say that it eases my mood. I am also one of those people who have a habit to be 'clingy' or tender. Many people say that I look rude because of my eyebrows, but in fact, I am a happy and tender person when you meet and know more about me.
A hug from a friend made me feel better. They often give it to me when I’m sad. But also more often when just meeting. As I said in one of my articles *,
Giving Hugs.
I may say, giving a hug is the only thing that is free in our world. You don't have to spend for a hug. All you need is the effort and time for it.
I have a mannerism that when I see that my friends are sad, I will approach them and hug them along with a conversation that will further ease our mood.
Hugging as a communication.
I see a lot especially on T.V shows, that they only give a hug to someone after they cry, did you notice this too? Often, when someone is crying, they will hug you later. But hugging someone can also use as communication. They often can't speak when crying so they just say and pass it on in a hug. You can feel their message too when you hug them.
I have also experienced this. I also use hugging as communication. I still remember back then that something unpleasant happened to my father and it was taking his life. She died when I was in the 9th grade. I was 13 years old at that time. I cried a lot that time. I couldn’t express how I felt then and I didn’t know what to say then. It hurt so much because I lost my father. But embracing became a way of expressing my emotions. I hug my mother because I know she needs it the most. I felt sad for what happened at that time but I am sadder for my mother because I know she spends more time making memories with my father. They have been together through their darkest times, ups, downs, the happiest and saddest times of their lives. I know that she will not immediately lose what she feels at that time but I know that it has diminished by a hug. And as the seconds, minute, hours, days and years goes by, I realized that embracing someone means they are special to you and giving them sympathy.
I can say that hugging has caused a lot of healing in my life. It heals me. It heals whatever we feel. I heal whoever needs it. It is one of the things that are free and I can give it to people who need it. always remember that you are lovable, wonderful, and special to someone.
