I can really say that the history of China is a long and complicated history that includes all dynasties, each with their own distinct civilizations. Due to its population of 1.4 billion people and its status as one of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations, China is a significant country in the globe. There are four inventions in China that are together referred to as "the Four Great Inventions," and they are paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. These inventions have had a significant impact on the entire world and are collectively referred to as "the Four Great Inventions." China’s history is quite unique. However, along with different history of different countries, China also had a bloody past and trying to defend their territories which lead them to the creation of Great Wall of China to drive away their enemies. Additionally, China's past is a treasure trove of artistic, political, scientific, and philosophical achievements. It is the cradle of one of the world's oldest civilizations, which dates back thousands of years.
When it comes to knowledge, I really can also say that they are brim with highly intelligent people. Confucius is the person who influenced the whole world through his teachings and philosophy. All that is written because of the bloody history of China.
Culture

As what I have observed, China is a magical country with a unique culture, traditions, and old civilization that attracts visitors from around the world. China, as one of the four great historical civilizations, is an ancient land that is full of natural beauty and intrigue. 56 ethnic groups, complicated and varied topography, abundant and diverse natural resources, a long and colorful history and culture, breathtaking and captivating scenery are just some of the characteristics of this country. The Great Wall of China is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, and many pagodas are considered to be crystals of the wisdom of the Chinese people.
I can also say that Tang and Song poetry as the representative, literary achievements that have been the center of worldwide attention. Apart from that, Chinese riches and national pride include tea, alcohol, opera, cuisine, ethnic minority cultures, and folk art such as paper-cutting, kites, embroidery, and shadow play, among other things. Additionally, China has a continuous culture stretching back nearly 4,000 years and originated many of the foundations of the modern world.
Tradition of China

Well, for me, due to the country's extensive historical legacy of more than 5,000 years, many traditional festivals are celebrated throughout the country, including the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day (Qingming Festival), Dragon Festival, and Mid-autumn Day. Each festival has its own significance and features that you may encounter while traveling through China. Their traditions were characterized by the fact that they embodied Chinese traditional cultural values of harmony, benevolence and righteousness; courtesy and wisdom; honesty, loyalty and filial piety. The concept of harmony, which is considered to be the most important Chinese traditional value, is embodied in China's diplomacy through the concept of harmony which is considered to be the most important Chinese traditional value. Furthermore, China is a multicultural and multi-religious society. Throughout Chinese history, religions such as Taoism, Islam, Buddhism, Protestantism, and Catholicism have all developed into culture-shaping and tradition-shaping neighborhoods. Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are together referred to as the "three pillars" of ancient Chinese civilization.
What contributes to these misconceptions about China?
Well, I only have one misconception in China that I have heard so far in my whole life (save those that I am aware of not until the discussion of this topic). The Great Wall of China, well, I saw it first from the movie The Karate Kid. This movie has been one the most ironic movie that we all have watched so far. My uncle, he was a good myth story teller in our tow, he told us the story of manananggal, tiyanak, white lady and other myths around the globe that he knew, including the Great Wall of China. He said it was made by aliens, same thing and purpose why the pyramid in Egypt is made, and was made by aliens as well. He further told me, well with my cousins, that there are dead bodies hidden inside the Great Wall, the people out there was forced into labor and if they grow tired, the aliens would kill them and put their body inside the built walls. Sounds creepy but it looks like real especially that after I watched the documentation of the Great Wall, it was seriously made impossible if constructed by humans alone. Well, I have learned that it was made possible because of the ancient technologies in China, an exquisite engineering. Additionally, the wall is more than simply a simple structure; it is a sophisticated military system. the Ming constructed this structure to keep the attackers at bay. In the documentation, it was made clear to me that what my uncle told me was just a myth. The wall acted as a line of defense for China against its adversaries, including the Soviet Union. It was the Great Wall that became the most widely recognized symbol of China in Western culture, serving as both a physical manifestation of Chinese strength and a psychological representation of the barrier maintained by China's government to repel foreign influences and exert control over its citizens for centuries.
Right, it’s real when people keep telling you stories, you tend to believe them even though they don’t have much evidence. The reason why, in the preset, I don’t just believe into someone without researching it first, is for me to make sure that I am not a fool believing things that aren’t real.
I am a proud Filipino.

The Visayas generally share a maritime culture with strong Roman Catholic traditions that have been merged with cultural elements through centuries of interaction and inter-migrations, primarily across the seas of Visayas, Sibuyan, Camotes, Bohol, and Sulu, and in some secluded areas, merged with ancient animistic-polytheistic influences.
With ferries moving people and products between Liloan in Southern Leyte and Surigao del Norte in Mindanao, Southern Leyte is a significant part of the country's inter-island transportation system, according to the government. Acai goods of high quality are widely available in the province, and it is one of the country's largest producers of the plant's fiber.
However, here in my municipality, Bontoc, it is during the summer months of April and May that fiestas are aplenty in the municipality, and some barangays put on a performance known as the "moro-moro", more commonly known locally as "ensayo," which depicts the conflict between Christians and Muslims, with a script written by a member of the community.
A large production with a great deal of logistics and a great deal of effort, to which the people are eager to participate and become involved. It is customary to perform the Senakulo throughout the Lenten season, which depicts the sacrifices of the Lord Jesus all the way to Calvary, and the "Sugat" on Easter Sunday, which depicts His resurrection.
The Bontoc Sinulog Festival, which is held on the 15th of January every year (but now Sinulog presentation also held during the 28th of November, as a celebration for the return of the long-lost Niño, also known as the “Kaplag”) in celebration of the Bontoc's patron saint, the Senor Santo Nino or the Holy Child Jesus, is the most well-known event in the area.
Thousands of devotees have gone to the town to witness the Sinulog Mardi Gras over the course of the festival's 15-year existence. Each and every Bontocanon looks forward to it, especially those who have moved away from the area.
Students, out-of-school adolescents, young moms, and young professionals are among the dancers who make up the Sinulog Core Group. They have been asked to perform in various regions of the country by the Sinulog Dance Festival Organization.
Bontoc culture as I have mentioned earlier are highly influenced by the Roman Catholic traditions. So, it is apparent enough to learn that Bontocanon cultures involves religious affairs.

One Filipino trait that I want the world to know about, especially here in my municipality, is the trait that the Bontocanon possesses and which he carries in his heart wherever he goes: his love of God, his love of country, his love of family, and his pride in his roots. This is a trait that I want the world to know about, especially here in my municipality.
What the municipality has bestowed upon the world is its people, who never cease to show their affection for the place where they grew up, no matter how difficult the circumstances. By being an advocate of the traits, my people are carrying is also an indicator that I am a proud Filipino citizen, and a proud Bontocanon.
I will be the voice of my people and will always carry with me the legacy of being a Filipino.
the picture symbolizes as a true Filipino and proud as a Filipino. https://www.google.com/search?q=true+filipino&client=ms-android-vivo-rvo2&prmd=ivn&sxsrf=APq-WBukXJV6mr-WHApLNtwoxvJG7fLi_Q:1649158212839&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1oNGL6fz2AhWlIqYKHYzWAt0Q_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=384&bih=727&dpr=1.88#imgrc=1tCIxljX1nnRuM
History of Nigeria
*Lead Image from* *Google* https://www.google.com/search?q=history+of+nigeria&client=ms-android-vivo-rvo2&prmd=vni&sxsrf=APq-WBsW2Xq8x3W7doj2mIOaXGwMPkyWjA:1649134045478&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwisvN6Hj_z2AhW6pVYBHYDmBOQQ_AUoA3oECAIQAw#imgrc=4SPw7TUc2hv_yM
Based of my master's class, I have a minor subject and this subject is foundation of education. This subject talks about the education system of every country. We are not just focusing on the education system but also the history of the following countries. Our instructor provided us a printed learning material, it states there about histories. The given learning material is not enough for us to understand the histories that is why, we search on the internet for more informations.
After we read about histories, the one that really touch my eyes when reading is about the history of Nigeria. I think there were also users here in read cash which came from Nigeria, hello guys!? I just want to share what I learned about my readings.
So here it is . . .
When I trace back the history of Nigeria. I can compare the historical background of this country with the previous countries, such as Madagascar and Zimbabwe.
Nigeria has some of Africa's oldest cultures and empires. The Nok civilization, named after the Nigerian settlement where the sculptures were discovered, flourished in the 5th century BC on the southern slopes of the Jos plateau. The Nok tribes may have just acquired the iron technology spreading south through Africa. Like the Nok, the early kingdoms of the region prospered from trade north over the Sahara and east into Sudan. 9th-century commercial empire around Lake Chad.
It started in Kanem, east of the lake, and spread to Bornu, West. The Hausa created small but stable kingdoms with strong-walled capitals. It was often threatened by their larger neighbors (Mali, Gao, and Bornu). These trade routes help Hausa traders.It was the 14th century. Western Savanna grasslands and forests between Hausa kingdoms and the coast are Yoruba strongholds. Their two great states. A savanna-forest border town, Ife. For over a thousand years, Ife thrived. It was founded in 16th century Oyo.
Throughout the 16th century, Oyo gained power by building a formidable cavalry. In the 18th century, Ono ruled Niger to Dahomey. Due to these developments, the most famous Nigerian monarchy emerged in the 15th century. The Ife left Benin's cast-metal sculpture. Benin isn't as big as Oyo. In the 15th century, the French took control. A century later, Benin's tropical forest still stretches from the Niger Delta to Lagos. Benin's fame isn't solely due to power. The Portuguese discovered these magnificent African items and the oba's ceremonial splendor in the 1470s. The Benin kings fascinate me. The West was scandalized by their use of human sacrifice in court rites. They're strong. The original dynasty lasted until the late twentieth century but had no political power.
Benin is the most well-known of Nigeria's historical kingdoms.Sokoto and Fulani 1804–1903. The Fulani, a Hausa-speaking tribe in northern Nigeria, adopted orthodox Islam in the early 1800s. In 1804 Sheikh Usman dan Fodio and his two sons led the Fulani against the lax Muslim Hausa rulers. In 1809, Sokoto became the Fulani capital, ruling central and northern Nigeria for the next century. But British interests have steadily encroached. Nigeria has fascinated British explorers, anti-slavery activists, missionaries, and traders since Mungo Park died in Bussa in 1806.
The British funded an expedition to Bornu's realm in 1821. Its members arrived in 1823. Hugh Clapperton's troops reach Sokoto via Kano and Hausa land. On the Nigerian coast, Clapperton returns to England in 1825 for a few months. Now we know how to trade between Europe and Asia. Everything seems ready to go. After Lander's second return to England, an English merchant group includes Macgregor Laird. Milford Haven's Alburkah sailed south in July 1832. Less than three months later, she arrives at the Niger's mouth. The Alburkah ascends one of the Niger delta's many waterways en route to Lokoja. An ocean vessel was entering continental Africa via the Niger. The iron steamer performs admirably. But medicine is still lagging. In 1834, the Alburkah arrived in Liverpool with nine of the original forty-eight crewmen. Macgregor Laird is a weak link.
Through 1900, trade and anti-slavery took place. Almost as deadly as the next British Niger expedition. To stop the slave trade in 1841, the ship Fever killed 48 of the 145 European crew members, forcing the ship's abandonment. In 1854, a doctor named William Baikie led an expedition up the Niger. His men die from quinine. Quinine is derived from the cinchona tree's bark. But its anti-malaria efficacy marks a turning point in European colonialism to replace slave trade revenue. Britain's anti-slavery program promotes palm oil exports. As the demand for palm oil rises, the upriver chieftains acquire more slaves, which proves counterproductive. Altruistic principles drive thoughtful efforts to establish trading stations. Slave survivors from foreign slave ships are being resettled in Freetown by the British navy. British policy changed in 1849. A consul oversees the Bights of Biafra and Benin from Fernando Po. So, he deals directly with the Lagos king. After several failed attempts, a British force captured Lagos in 1851. After promising to end slavery and human sacrifice, another Lagos royal ascends to power (a feature of this region). After failing to meet these criteria, Lagos became a British colony in 1861. During the century, Britain's economic and political power grew. George Goldie persuaded the British commercial firms in the Niger to consolidate in 1879 to protect the Royal Niger Company's interests. It was founded in 1893. Abolition of slaving and human sacrifice in Benin in 1897. It was the year of the British oba. In retaliation, British troops fired on Benin City. Faced with the challenges of administering Nigeria's vast and complex territory, the government decided to centralize the Royal Niger Company's upriver lands. The charter expired in 1900. Britain controls the coast to Sokoto and Bornu in the north. Despite dangerous tensions in the late 1890s between Britain and France, the colonial power in adjacent Dahomey, over Nigeria's western border, Britain readily accepted this area at the Berlin conference in 1884. It did so from 1900 to 1960.
On the other hand, Humans arrived in Madagascar about 2000 years ago. Madagascar's settlers were either Indonesians or mixed-race Indonesians. Around 800-900 A.D., Arab traders began trading along the northern coast.On his way to India, Diogo Dias, a Portuguese sea captain, was blown off course and saw Madagascar on August 10, 1500. He called it St. Lawrence. All of these nations attempted to establish trading settlements in Madagascar later in the 1500s. All failed due to hostile conditions and fierce Malagasy warrior fighting.Pirates ruled the eastern coast of Madagascar in the late 1600s, when Europeans first arrived. These pirates attacked ships returning from India to Europe from Madagascar. The French tried again in the 1700s to establish military bases on the east coast. The French could only claim the island of Sainte Marie by the early 19th century.The Sakalavas of the west coast founded Madagascar's first kingdom in the 1700s. In 1810, their rivals, the Merina, ruled most of the island. Their king, Radama I, established relations with the British and allowed English missionaries to spread Christianity and write Malagasy. During Radama's reign, the island experienced a mini-industrial revolution. The country was terrorized for 33 years by her widow, Ranavalona I, who persecuted Christians, expelled foreigners and political rivals, and revived the practice of killing babies born on unlucky days. Her death restored relations with Europe.In 1883, France invaded Madagascar, which became a French colony in 1896. Madagascar supplied France with exotic spices like vanilla. The Malagasy staged major anti-French uprisings in 1918 and 1947, but did not gain independence until June 26, 1960.Didier Ratsiraka seized power in 1975. He ruled Madagascar as a dictator until 1991, when he was deposed. Following his return to power, he ruled until a contested election in 2001. Marc Ravalomanana, the new president, promised democracy. Ravalomanana began selling yogurt on the street from the back of his bicycle and grew into Madagascar's richest man. He is still president in 2005, and the economy is improving.
While on Zimbabwe, the San people are thought to have been the first people to settle in the country, possibly as early as 200 B.C. Bantu dominance ended, and the Shona people arrived, who were then followed by the Nguni and Zulu tribes. The descendants of the Nguni and Zulu tribes, known as the Ndebele, conquered South Africa in the mid-19th century and established their own kingdom in the country. The British arrived in the country in 1850 and conquered it, establishing it as a colony. The country was given the name Rhodesia in honor of Cecil Rhodes, a British South Africa Company official. After a few years, it was renamed Southern Rhodesia, and the European settlers of the country voted in 1923 to become a self-governing colony of the United Kingdom. When the United Nations voted for independence in 1963, Northern Rhodesia (which is now Zambia) and Nyasaland (which is now Malawi) voted to do so, while Southern Rhodesia voted to remain an imperial colony. In less than two years, the white minority in Rhodesia declared the country's independence from Britain, and the country was officially recognized as a republic in 1970. The white minority in Rhodesia, led by Ian Smith, has maintained control over the government, and they have resisted the demands of the black African majority, resulting in chaos and civil conflict. Although Smith would continue to serve as the country's Prime Minister, the White Minority agreed to hand over control of government to the Black Majority in 1978.It was not until 1980 that the White Minority made the decision to hold a multi-racially representative election in order to resolve national issues. Robert Mugabe, the leader of the Black Majority, was elected president in a landslide victory, as predicted by many. On April 17, 1980, the country celebrated its independence and changed its name to Zimbabwe, marking the beginning of the modern era.
That's all that I can share to you guys, and if you are wondered why this is too long, it's because this is my answer of our activity which we will compare the Nigeria to the Zimbabwe. I hope you learned also even just a little learnings.
Thank you for reading and Keep safe all.

April 05, 2022 (Tuesday)
After I've read the story of Chika Onyenezi entitled “The Boxer.” I just want to share here my comprehension of the story.

1. Characters
Samuel - the story's protagonist, faces numerous challenges but ultimately decides to embrace life as an adventure.
Image from Google https://www.google.com/search?q=protagonist&client=ms-android-vivo-rvo2&prmd=ibnv&sxsrf=APq-WBsmNCJS2tSRA8wFJWQ1jLDc-pWJlw:1649119596100&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjPy96d2fv2AhUJ-WEKHSShDOkQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=384&bih=727&dpr=1.88#imgrc=VQVwgd81blKV4M
Other Characters:
The lovely Ethiopian woman working at the café. They were all there when Sam stopped in to see them on his journey: Njemanze, Kufo, Obialita, and John. When Sam was interviewed a PHD student in Political Science from the University of Berlin named Burk, it brought back memories of his childhood. People Sam deemed friends or acquaintances due of his employment were numerous in the novel.
2. Conflict
From what I perceive to be the primary conflict was the factors at birth, or, to put it another way, racism. Samuel was born in Nigeria, and as he went through the challenges of life, his ethnicity became a stumbling barrier, not because of Samuel himself, but because of certain practices that the world has against this type of person. He is viewed as a tool by the majority of those in his immediate vicinity. He is also considered mad, unclean, and driven to do something bad because he is not accepted as a normal person should be. He will have no choice but to adapt and do everything he can in order to survive as long as he continues to use lite.

3. Resolution of the Conflict
No one, with the exception of yourself, has the ability to shape their own future. Making the option between living for yourself and simply walking behind someone else's shadow is a difficult one to make. It is undeniably true that Samuel was not free from his wrongdoing, but I believe that it is because he chose himself and chose to maintain his sanity that he has grown strong and conquered life, allowing him to live in peace. Even though it is undeniably true that he was not free from his wrongdoing, at the very least he has saved his soul by choosing salvation. There may be times when the difficulties and adversities are so great that you feel forced to resort to the latter in order to survive, but trials have passed, and I believe that each struggle is simply a chapter, rather than an entire book, in your life journey. It is important not to give up on your dream of becoming an author and creating your own story.

4. The message of the story
In life, we are exposed to a variety of viewpoints and opinions, whether from others or from our own experience, which cause us to consider them. You can, of course, choose to remain in your current state. It is not necessary to collapse simply because you are disturbed; even if you do fall, you can always get back up and claim your life. Yes, it cannot be denied that there are some conditions at birth that cause you to see things differently, but always remember that as a thinking human being, you can always find a way out of the darkest pit, whether it is by a slow process or an immediate escape. The only thing I want to say is that you must have the fortitude to face life as a challenge, to persevere through it, and to consider adversity as preparation for a better future.

Scarcity of water
*Lead Image from Unsplash*
April 2, 2022 (Saturday)

Water plays an important role of our daily living. Some says, it's better to have water and no electricity than to have electricity and no water. I remember when I was 5 years old we have no electricity that time. We only used "lamparilla" the old ways to have light in our place. But we have water that time, we have no problem before about water. It feels before that we are satisfied everything we need to live.

Today, if I compare from before it was very different. I can't imagine how life being changed in a worst way. God is so good eventhough we don't have a supply of water always, we find a way and we found out that near in our place there is a flowing water from the deep of the soil, it is from nature. The people here in our place, take a voluntary to form a small hole. We put a hose going to each of our houses. Then now, we have water but we can't use it everyday.

The culture here in our place is every saturday we are going to wash our clothes, that is our schedule. Today is saturday, I am planning to wash my clothes but then when I get the hose there's no water. I felt sad that I can't wash my clothes today. Monday until Friday, I have no time to wash my clothes because I have no work then sunday, I think when I wash my clothes on sunday I can't wear my clothes on monday because it is still wet.

I don't know where I am going to wash my clothes since we don't have water today. I am hoping that God will light our minds to find another source of water. This is really our main problem here in our place, lack of water while water is the most need of every people.

The election for mayor in our town is approaching, we planned here that this will be our request for them, I hope they will help us to save our needs. I know many of them are willing to help for those people who are in need and very important needs of people. I hope they can sustain everything to improve here in our place.
Now, while waiting for the water I imagined what if I am a rich person, I can help our place I can find ways to have water. So that there we can use water to drink, to take a bath anytime, to wash the dishes, and to wash clothes anytime we want.

After the typhoon, still we don't have electricity until now. We are in the highland area, the reason they can't fix our electricity easily. They will fix the electricity at the lowland area. That is why, now, we don't have enough water and we also don't have electricity. It's just so sad here. But I don't meed to think more negativities. I just think that while we are still living and have food to eat, it is the most important. Soon, we will have water everyday and electricity always. In God's help it will become true, soonest.

April fools
*Lead Image from Unsplash*
April 1, 2022 (Friday)
*" . . .it's just a fool!!! . . ."*
People nowadays are very different when compared before. It's just a sad feeling that some social media users has only little respect for the other people. I know we can't control everyone when it comes to proper use of social media, by posting jokes in which they don't think what will be result of their post to other people.
There is what we called APRIL FOOLS.
There is one person posting on facebook about pregnancy with corresponding picture to let people believe that it's true but at the end of the day they say it's just a prank or a joke because we are in the month of april. They really don't think about the feelings of other women who are struggling to have babies and other women who can't able to have a baby. I don't know if I am just the only one who think about it, if you say I am over reacting but hey it's true and think before posting.
Aside from pregnancies, there is also a person that will order your products or anything that you sell in social media and someone will comment "mine" , then you will reply "yours" but later on they will comment again "hey april fools" haler people?. Selling items or products in social media is a serious type of business in which they will find a way to have money even just in a little way, but what you are doing is to help them dragging down in their business. I know it is very painful for everyone who were victims about april fools. We must help other people to think what is right for everyone, or anything that can help for everyone.
For me, I know every year there is what we called trending that made us to think that this is the culture of every people, if what is trend then copy right away. We should think the possible cause and effect of everything. Posting in social media is that we can't control to all users. We, the teens we should lead the other young individual to do good things especially in social media.
April fools is not good especially on a serious kind of thing. Everyone must be aware that not all things or not all we do will go through jokes and pranks. We must be careful everything like we say and we put in actions. They say, oh it's jejemon, yes it is but not just that but we need to lead everyone to do what is right and just.
The posts that I've seen in social media today is not good to read, those posts really made my day upset. I really don't like I was angry when someone posted a pregnancy test, the captions says it all, a very long caption that is why I read it in a minute but at the end it says there it it was just a copy paste. You that feeling, you insert efforts just to read the posts, but at the end it was just a joke. It sound funny but it made me angry, really. That is why, next time hey social media users please be a well-mannered in this generation. I hope you guys doing well soon.

That's it for this article, I know you can relate my experience this day, I know I reacted it over but this is true.
Hello, read cash users sorry it took a month that I never posted an article here, I hope you will understand me because we were busy of preparing the activities in our school. I just write an article now because I have free time. Thank you for understanding friends. I miss you all, I hope you can read my article now. Be safe. 🤍
A Kdrama: Happiness
My friend shared to me about a Kdrama latest movie, it's all about a connected about the currents situation of pandemic. The movie shows there about Covid-19 and how they treat the victims who became zombies. I am not used to watch kdramas it's because of the episode. I am too lazy if the movie is episodes, I just want to watch only 1 episode of a movie.
She shared the movie by sending in my share it application so that I can watch all the episodes, it talks about love, mistress, conflicts, horror. Before I start watching the movie, I really motivate myself to watch all the episodes. I ask them first about what is the whole event of the story, while listening to them it helps me to motivate watching the movie.
I can watch the movie if I have no work that's why I can't watch the movie in just whole day. The episode is I guess it was 12 episodes, it makes me lazy but I am trying to be more motivated.
As I began to watch, I saw a beautiful woman and a handsome man, they are partner of this move Sae Bom and Hye Hyun, I am not sure for their names in the movie. While watching the movie I am sure of this genre:
Love - all of the couples their in the movie show their love to their partners by caring and always being together in the movie. The love on the movie not just shown by their partners but the love to their companions their in the apartment. They gave food to the other people living there, they also sacrifice their own self just to give others what they need. Even when times they felt illness, they tried to protect their lives from the victims of Covid19.
Mistress - we can also saw some couple who betrayed their partners and show lust to other girl. I know it's just a learning to all couples that they should not do the same, we should stay loyal and honest to our partners.
Horror - I really love the intense of the movie, especially about the victims of the Covid19, which turned into Zombies. They really find solution about it, but they felt hard about how they can find the effective treatment. Sounds scary when someone was bitten by the victims and also turned into a zombie. They also do lockdowns their just like what we encountered this time of pandemic. The drama is very intense, I really appreciate , especially those role as a zombie.
After I watched the Kdrama, I am now already a kdrama fan. I love to watch again more movie from them, I also love their language and I read the subtitle english that helps me improve my vocabulary skills in english.

You will try to watch movies, and after all you can promise to watch it again. Movies can help us to improve our vocabulary skills and knows the culture of other country.

Last week, yesterday and today. Here in Visayas, Philippines in the province of Southern Leyte, we encountered a non-stop rain. Let me correct ha, the rain here will start in just a couple of minutes then continue raining. After the typhoon last december 2021, all of us here got panicked when we encountered heavy rains and any bad weather here.
The NDRRMC, always sent a message to everyone that we will encounter long lasting rain here in our location. But, you know what this is not good especially for those who have a small house or temporary house, if the rain will not stop they will become wet. It's so sad and I felt pity for those who have no strong roof in their houses.
Another effect of this rain is landfall or landslide, the very traumatic for everyone and very dangerous if you will pass by the mountains we really don't know if there's possibility for this.
The rain has a positive side, it can help for the farmers so that their plants in the farm will go back to normal and will have life. It is not easy for the farmers if there will be no rain at all. Then, the rain can help to grow any planted in the farm, not just in the farm but for those plants everywhere will live longer again after the typhoon.
In our place we don't have enough water here to use for washing clothes, washing dishes, watering plants, for cleaning and etc. I am thankful for the rain it can help us too not just for the plants. But, let God help us to avoid any danger causes by the long lasting rain. I hope he will look at us always and cover us from any bad happenings so that everyone will be safe at all.
From now on, we have no problem for the water to wash our clothes but we don't have any boxes that are going to stock the water, the galloons are already full now.
The rain can cause also that people can't continue working because of the rain, some people were stuck in their houses, some are just laying in bed and wait for the time to eat haha, sounds funny but it's true we encountered like that. If the people will need to travel, they will use rain coats and anything that can cover up their bodies so that they will not getting wet. Some of the streets we can't pass by because of the landfalls, and the water stuck up on the streets the vehicles can't pass by it can cause to destroy the transportation.
Everyone can't continue on their plans for their work it's because of the rain here in Southern Leyte, Philippines. It' about 2 weeks of a long lasting rain that we encountered. It's not very easy for us about this situation. It is very cold here, I just want to cover my pillow here in my bed and sleep all day but I really need to work.
Today is monday, a work work work day for me, the time is 5:52 am. I am still lying in bed and wait for 6 am so that I can publish this article. After this one, I need to get up and eat for my breakfast so that I can travel already to the school where I am working. I am very lazy now, it's raining outside I don't want to get up and while looking outside I don't want to go outside hehe. Omg! But if I will not go to my work I will have no money hayst.
Okay, so I think my article is already long. I need to reread this one and if everything is good and alright, I will publish already. Time is running very fast huhu. Guys, please pray here in our location that the rain will stop, so that everyone can continue about everything they do. If the rain will continue falling, okay kindly pray for us to have a safe travel while raining. Thank you everyone , keep safe if where you are now always pray for a safe work and safe travel.
I need to publish my article now, and I need to get up so that I can eat my breakfast and get ready for my work. Again, if you're reading my article God bless you always and provide your need always. Keep safe , take good care and God bless. Luv yuuu!! ❤️

CR Renovation
*February 26, 2022 (Saturday)*
Olah my readcash friends, how are you all? I hope your day is fine. And always pray for a good health always. So that there will be no problem in life.
So today, I decided to write another article since today is saturday and I have no work. I am just lying here in bed and scrolling the feeds of my social media accounts.
Yesterday, I took a picture at our backyards. We planned to renovate or construct our new CR or comfort room because it was destroyed by the typhoon odette. If you can still remember my article about the "typhoon aftermath" I include there on how the coconut tree hit our CR, the whole tree was falling on our CR, after that we have no CR. We just use our sister's house if we want to pee because we are just neighbor.
The one worker started yesterday to do the soil to form a hole and follow the measurement that we are given to them.
It is very hard today if you planned to build everything because the materials become more expensive. We buy, hollow blocks , cement, and etc. my mother already paid 35,000 in philippine money. Oh my God, I just hope that my mothers money will fit for the needed materials while I am waiting for my salary. And while waiting for my salary, I gave half of my income here in read cash to my mother. You know what, I am very very thankful that God gave his way for me, what I mean is that I don't have zero balance in my gcash it's because of read cash. I can give my mother for whatever she need and ask from me. Not too big but even in a small way I can help.
Read cash really play an important and a big role in my life now, while I am waiting for my salary I can use my income here for my allowance and everything, sounds blessed I am for having and being part if this platform. All I need to do is hard work and patience, even in a small tips it can help me a lot. Sometimes, I feel like I am very tired of writing article, sometimes I am empty-headed I really don't know what topics to be discussed but later on I can get an idea and continue writing.
So back to the topic, while the worker continue doing his work I saw his hard work also. He is very kind, by the way he is just our cousin and very closed to us that's why he offer to work here in our CR renovation. His salary per day is 350 pesos or in philippine money, he is free in snacks and meal. He is very hard working man, he is single until now he is already 40 plus years old. I can remember every renovation in our house he really offer to work here, that made us believe thay he is very kind person.
The other worker is just a sibling of my father he is an expert on building houses that is why he also planned what will be the best to do for our CR renovation. After our materials are already delivered he told us that we need to order more materials to be needed, I am worried because my salary is not yet released and I think my mother has no money left. I hope I can earn more here in read cash this week so that I can help even in a little way.
I know if you are empty now, God will find a way for everything. God will answer our problems and questions in life. Even if it's so hard now, it will be going smoothly sooner. Do not lose hope for everything because God do not let everyone suffer. If the person will suffer and do not surrender he will succeed in life, but if he or she will surrender, no good news awaits for her or him.

Hi friends, how are you? How's your day? I hope you are all doing well in your work, and fine also about your health. Well, today I am gonna write an article which is also an experience of my today's work. You will know how I manage my time, my whole day of work.
Today is a very occupied day for me. I arrived at school 7:12 am, I write it in our logbook. I haven't yet a printed module for my handled class. That is why, me and my colleague have a plan that we need to start the printing for high school handled class. We already have a list on the module preferences in our high school. The 11 HUMSS they have 12 printed modules and the 11 STEM they have 22 printed modules. We bring our laptop to the high school office for printing. We asked the school principal if we can do printing there. The principal said yes, that is why we arrange and set up everything and installed the printer there in our laptop so that it can be easily connected and I can print it right away.
When I start printing, the color of the printer was not followed. The blue color became yellow, I consult it to the assistant of the principal and he said, the printer is now working 100%. But, I have no choice but to continue printing. While continue printing, I arrange the printed module in each set, I also look at the list of the printed module.
While waiting the 1 module to be completed, I am starring at the printer, while it is continue printing I am very thankful or amazed on the very intelligent people who invented the printer. As I saw the wires inside, they are too small and little I think it can be easily destroyed. I am asking in my mind, how does the printer take only one bondpaper it is very thin, and what if it will take 2 or more bondpaper. I really don't know how to express my feelings while watching the printer working. I also ask my mind that how does the printer read the documents to be printed? Haha it sounds very funny I have many questions but I only answered it, "God is amazing he created this, he used his intelligent people to create a printer to make the life of people easier and high tech in this new generation".
I can say that the printer that I used is very friendly to me and to the users. While using it in the morning until afternoon, there's no problem and nothing became hussle to me. The problem that I encountered is not, the generator will turn off, we can use the generator 8 am to 12 nn, then 1 pm to 5 pm. I am still not yet done all my printed modules, because the time is already 5 and it is extended until 6 pm but I am still not yet done. I will continue doing it to the next day, I hope it will be done next day because the students are also waiting for it.
Some of my students messaged me, when they can recieved the modules? Why they don't receive any modules while the class of 2nd semester is starting. The reason we prepared the module late it's because the enrollees is extended, the registrar's office don't have a finalized lists of students in every section, also the final loading of teachers still not yet released, the reason why the teachers didn't yet printed the modules.

Beyond the Blackboard
**February 22, 2022**
Today is a very busy day for us. The month of starting for the 2nd semester class. So expected that many preparations of the teachers will do for the class like modules, syllabus, class records, final lists of enrolment, loading of teachers and etc.
Teachers not just to teach the students about the lessons but to do the preparations needed for the class. We are not just focused on that but we will do anything just to make our class effective for the students.
After the typhoon odette, everything's change. We still have no electricity, we are just using generator, and the signal is very slow, the reason we can't able to use the online learning for the class.
**For the modules,**
We are busy encode the lessons for the modules. We let the students to choose what their module preferences. The two choices are printed module and E-copy of modules.
Some of the students are choosing printed module instead of online, some of the students have no strong internet connection.
But, as of now we still continue making our modules and syllabus. It is not easy for us teachers because we have another thing to do, we asked the other regular employee to help them in their own task. For me, it is okay to ask help for some other employee but in the fact that we have different task to do. I think it's not good to let other employee to do your own task. Honestly, felt dissapointed about it.
**For the syllabus,**
We are still continue making it, because we are just waiting for the new format from the department heads, the reason why we are not yet done making it.
**For the subject loads to the teachers,**
It is not also final, because some of the students for the second semester did not enrol because of the situation now. Especially those very affected from the typhoon, they lose their homes and things inside the house. Some of the students did not pursue schooling, they chose to go manila or anywhere that they can work to help their family. The reason why, the subjects was dissolved because there were no students to the other subject. And until now we, the teachers have no official subject loads yet.
**Class records,**
The class records has also not yet started because the list of students are still being finalized by the registrar's office.
While the teachers are waiting fir the final lists of students enrolled for the second semester. We have another task from the higher positions which is not part of our work instead it will be the tasks for the staffs.
I can say that this our work as a teacher is like a movie entitled, "Beyond Blackboard". This movie is about the teacher, they are not just teach about the lessons to the students but they also stand as a parents to the students. In our case, we are not doing the same like to care the students like parents but to do the tasks which is not part of our work in the school. That is my experience today, I felt so tired but I feel like I have no very worth accomplishment.
For me, I am very willing to help others who need help but in the case that I am not yet done for my own tasks and doing the tasks for the others, I think it's not good. I am very sorry if you didn't agree my idea but I think it's true.

1st week of Duty
February 19, 2022
Hello pretties and handsome friends!
This is my new article, after a week that I didn't publish due to a very manic week for me. By the way, last week was my first week of duty. Our second semester class is already started last week. We, the faculty in our school we are very busy about preparing of modules to our handled subjects.
By the way, before I formally start this new article. I want to say sorry or to extend my apologies to everyone because I have no time this week to read your article but don't worry I promise to read yours if the signal or internet connection will be back there in our school. I promise to read your article sooner.
I just want to share here about what I am doing for the whole week, what makes me super busy? How I handled everything in my work?
Well, my everyday routine have changed. Before, when I have no work I just woke up late and eat my meals also late. I don't know what I am going to do next. But everything really changed, because we start to duty onsite.
As I started went to school last monday, everything is not the same. What keeps me busy on monday was, we had a pictorial one by one, all faculty and staff. That pictorial is for organizational structure of the campus.
After pictorial, we went back to our office and take a rest while doing anything related to our module making as preparation for printing of module for our students who choose to have a printed module because, if through online they don't have internet connection.
Last Tuesday, we are very busy about updating our class schedule. As we recieved our teaching loads, I got amazed by the 30 units but as I checked on the schedule some of it is conflict, I went to registrar office together with my co-teachers we have the same problem. Thankful, that everything is okay and solved my the registrar in-charge.
By wednesday, we have a final loading and our schedule is already set. I open my laptop and edit my previous module, I read it and change for some errors and I also revised everything so that it only have a few pages. The other school was already released their modules, we are asked to distribute the modules to their students who are near in the school.
The next day thursday, is also a hectic day for me in which we encode our class schedule through in matrix form, so that I can easily see my schedule. I also make my syllabus for the college subjects.
Last day is friday, it means fly day in the afternoon I need to go back home. But in the morning, I am busy to continue doing my school-related matter, like doing modules and syllabus. Then in the afternoon after lunch, we have a meeting with the Laboratory high School principal and the faculty of high school.
After everything is done, I fixed my things and wait for my father to picked up with me there in our school , going home. Finally we arrived safely there.

Greener Grass
**February 11, 2022 Friday**
*"Too many people think the the grass is greener somewhere else but the grass is green where you water it. Remember that.*
-from Facebook
I saw this quote or saying from my facebook news feed. This quote was shared post from my facebook friend. While reading this short statement, I reread it until I understand the deep meaning of this statement.
As we see the nature, the color is green. All we know is that we love nature because of its color, the greener nature can help people to relieve stress and problems in life. It can fill positive emotions to everyone. We can see it, when we are in the highland area. The highland or upland area have many trees and plants with color green, it means that the trees are healthy.
The reason why we see greener grass it's because of the people. The people itself will water the plants to live again this beautiful nature. The reason why the plants will die because also the people who live in this world who really don't care about nature. Some of the people can appreciate nature, of its color, plants, bloomed flowers, we can hide under the tree or anything that nature can help people. But then, when the plants will turn into brown color which emphasizes it's dead color, the people won't be able to appreciate it. They will ignore nature like it doesn't help people in their life.
As we all know an honest advantage of a healthy nature is that it can help the people, animals, it gives life for everyone.
For the people, we can hide under the trees when the Mr. Sun is shining. We can harvest fruits and any kind of vegetable we planted. We can easily eat everything. I remember my childhood days, my happiness is when I see guavas everywhere especially even in a small tree of guava there's already a fruit that we can pick. Our feeling that time is like a contest on who can first to get the guava fruit. That's an advantage on having healthy nature like trees.
For the animals, they can also hide under the trees when Mr Sun again will rise. It feels so good that the tree has many leaves, it shows how healthy the nature is.
Again, this quotation is about the nature, no other way that the nature will be fine if it's because of the people living in this world we must avoid the wrong doings. We should not let the plants died, we have to water it everyday especially if there's no rain. Another is planting trees can help to avoid any landslide, and we should strictly follow the rules that the garbage will be put in a corresponding place. We should avoid littering garbage in the river, that is very wrong. Mostly, we should not lit the garbage to protect our ozone layer , especially plastics should be recycled. We should always think what is good and what is bad.
This is a good realization about the quote or a saying from facebook that nature should be protected by us. We can think what is the right way to protect this beautiful nature. We can save the nature.
**Realization in Life**
*We can protect nature like we protect ourselves from danger. If we can't do it, we will be in danger.*
Take A Note
**February 10, 2022 Thursday**
Good day everyone, my morning is not so good. I have dysmenorrhea now, I am not totally fine. And the weather here is raining, I really hate about it. But I need to stand from bed and need to eat breakfast. And here I am now sitting the chair while writing another article for today. The focus of this article is about how I take down notes in my cellphone. Here, you will know what do I take note here. I really don't have another idea but this comes in my mind to share with you guys, if we do the same.
I will state one by one all the saved notes in my cellphone, these are the folowing:
• ***Song title***
It's very awkward that I really saved title of songs in my notes, I don't know if you do it the same as mine. Hehe I save my favorite songs so that if the videoke happens, I just see here in my notes of the title of songs that I knew, then search it in the karaoke list of songs so that I can easily find it. That's the purpose of this notes, it can help us to think easily.
• ***Personal Identification Cards***
Sometimes, it really happened to me that when I fill in any forms it will ask there about License number or anything, I don't memorized it that is why I saved here in my notes so that I can write it right away. My personal Id's like PRC ID, SSS NUMBER, PHILHEALTH NUMBER, TIN NUMBER.
• ***GMAIL ACCOUNT***
the most important of all is my gmail account, I can use this in my work where I can retrieve the outputs from my students, for my masteral class and any personal matters. This is very much important to me, that is why I don't want to forget my gmail account especially the passwords.
• ***Facebook Account***
One of the common social media site which I always use is this facebook. This account is very important I really saved the username and password, if ever I forgot these accounts I just see it in my notes. if ever I forgot my account, I don't want to make another account that's why I am very careful for this.
• ***Qoutes***
When I read nice quotes from facebook or instagram, I copy and paste it in my notes so that if ever I need some motivations or I want to read some nice and positive messages I just open my notes and read it. Some of quotes, I used it to caption my pictures to be uploaded in facebook or instagram.
• ***Virtual Class***
Last semester of the class, I saved my class schedule here because if ever I forgot what will be the next schedule, I just open here to see and follow my schedule. This really can help me because I really hate memorizing my schedule.
• ***Documentation for Thesis Conduct***
One of the best memorable pictures that I have is during my thesis conduct , it needs documentation with the respondents as evidence that I really collect some data from them. I saved it here, because if ever happened that it will be deleted in my gallery I secured it here in my notes.
• ***Online Class Account***
This is very important also in my work to know my account, this is for the system that we used to input the grades of my students. Our school proposed this one, to engage also the new normal, to use the technology.
• ***National Id***
Last month, I registered through online for the national Id, when I'm done fill in the needed informations, they give reference number, I think this is important that is why I saved it here in my notes.
• ***EPT review***
This is an online reviewer material that is easy to use wherever I am if I have vacant time I can read and review this is useful in applying to public school, we need to exam the English proficiency test and much better if you have big score, you will get bigger points for ranking.
• ***Wifi Password***
Very much important so that I can easily connect to our wifi if we have load. We can also easily change it.
• ***Youtube Account***
I created a youtube account since 2020, if you have time please visit my channel and pls subscribe and watch my videos. Just search Just Mesai this is my youtube channel. I saved my account so that I can't forget my password.
• ***UAN***
This is Unique Applicant Number, I saved it here because as what they say, you can't have another one UAN again, that's why I saved it here. By the way, this is for my application number if hired as a public teacher.
• ***QR Code***
Hey, during this pandemic time. We secured QR code, this is very important when we are going to other place, we can present our QRCode, also when you enter any supermarkets, you have to present it first to the Guard.
Those were all the very important notes I saved here. If I lose anything in my mind, I just open here and find so that I can remember like passwords and anything. I don't know if you do the same as mine. But I hope you learned from me about my technic, for those who can easily forget just do this, it will help you. Thank you for reading.

*Technology has a big impact for the people. I can really appreciate the use of this application in my cellphone, I save anything here. It can help you to remember!*
Yes I do the Cleaning--
*Lead Image from Unsplash*
**February 9, 2022 Wednesday**
Hello mates, how are you? What did you do this whole wednesday? Did you accomplish something? Oh well, lemme share to you about what's on my wednesday.
One word that I can describe my day, it is TIRED. I felt so tired about what keeps me busy this day, it's just I am cleaning our house but specifically in the room of my father and mother.
While laying in bed I do scrolling on my facebook, Instagram and watching videos on tiktok. After few minutes, I remember that I planned last week to clean the other room which is beside of my room, that is my mother and father's room. Before anything else, I just imagine and planning on how I am going to start cleaning. After seconds, I think I am tired while planning. But, I really need to do it, I charge my cellphone to my powerbank and get ready to start cleaning.
First, I get the broomstick and a small kind of wood stick , I used it to remove the sacks and other things which can be found under their bed. After removing all the things there, I clean with the use of broomstick, and also sweep all the trash going outside. I am very careful by while doing it because my father told me to be alert on removing the sacks if ever there will be snakes or anything living there. I agree with him and I am very afraid all of those. That is why, I am very careful and slowly remove the things to outside the room.
While do the cleaning, I can remember the year when we last clean the room I think it is about 5 years, and until now it will be clean again. So much of trash inside I really don't know how it went there. There were also clothes very dirty because our cats when get pregnant and start to out the baby, they will chose the place which they feel comfort, there in the clothes under the bed. That's why some of the clothes there are very dirty. I really got annoyed to my father because he was just easily put any kind of things he think it is very important that is why he put it right aways there, it can cause very missy. He don't know how to arrange the things properly that is why it is very missy there. Later on, after I swept on the floor. I see the clothes each sack, and pick those clothes that can be used and others will be unused or very dirty I just put it aside.
While looking at the clothes I discovered one of my clothes before it was just stocked at the sacks, I get laugh while looking to it. My clothes got small, or I am just big now. Omg I found my favorite tshirts before when I am just a kid. Hehehe those were my memories, I really can imagine how lucky I am when I wore some of those clothes.
I also put aside of those clothes where my father and mother can be able to use it. I also found my bag, where I am really looking for it , there I found it already.
You know what, not just clothes and bags that I found while cleaning. It is also money, paper and coins. I just put it in the bed after cleaning because I know, it was from my mother and father especially in changes clothes they don't notice that there money or coins will fall on the floor and they don't just mind it. They deserve to recieve those, because it was from them.
Sometimes, in the family or being a member in the family we must do the household chores, it is our duty not to our parents. I am really happy because once we're tired on planning to clean the house, we just don't get affected to it. Do the action, do what makes you mind want to do. Planning is useless without action.
**Realization in Life**
*Action can lead you to success and accomplished all the plans.*
Hotspot Connected
**February 8 , 2022 Thursday**
After months of typhoon here in Southern Leyte, all of us here are not fully recovered like houses, trees, the streets, and most especially the tower for the strong internet connectivity. One of the problem now is electricity and the connection. Sometimes our load for internet is not worth to use because sometimes there were no signal. We can't able to use wifi because there's no electricity, we just use data for internet. We just so lucky if the Globe will turn on 4G , because sometimes it will just H+ that means the internet connection is low.
I always registered a load for my Globe simcard, a Gosurf90 it is good for 7 days and it has 8 gb for data. I just hoping that the Globe will always be 4G.
One time, while I am scrolling on facebook I am watching videos and I am also in our store. The young girls they are twins, they are my neighbors. They went our store and I ask them if they have something to buy. Then they said and ask me to connect my hotspot because their internet connection is very slow and they think that my signal is good because I can able to watch videos.
This is my first time that someone will connect my data through hotspot. I am doing it and setting the password, I turned it on and they connect it in their cellphone. Successfully they are connected, I got pity to them because they are twins and they only have 1 cellphone. As I observed them while using the cellphone, they got misunderstood sometimes because the one will love to do facebook but the one wants to watch tiktok videos hehe I just told them that they must have schedule about when to use the cellphone. I can remember my childhood days, when me and my sister have only 1 cellphone only keypad. Sometimes, I got angry with my sister because she will hide it and she will not let me to use it. I will cry and speak some bad words to her. Hehe and when we get older we already have cellphones. That is why, while observing the twins I just told them that someday when they get older and finished schooling, they will have their own cellphone. They can use anytime they want.
Their mother is an OFW, and sometimes I heard that they will have video call with their mother. Sounds sad for them that they are very far away and can able to have video call when the signal is strong and also have enough load for internet. Sometimes I recieved chats from them, they will ask me where I am and what I am doing. I already understand why they were asking. If I replied them that I am not busy and I am in our home, I know they will go to me and ask to connect hotspot. My load is very fast for facebook because it has 8gb for internet and for watching videos also. They have problem in their cellphone because if they have load, they only load it for only just 10 pesos, it is just 50 mb for internet, it is just a short of time to scroll in facebook, it cannot be able to watch videos. But, compared to mine that 8gb is a very long span of time to use, very worth it. That's why, it's fine for me when they ask to connect through hotspot, and also I feel pity for them.
Later on, they ask also how to install Snapchat, I let to borrow their cellphone. I just share it my snapchat, and installed it. They are first time user, I signed in using their name and birthday, then set also the password. Later on when all are already set, they begin to take some selfies. I am happy to see them that they are also happy.
I really hope that the signal will be more stronger so that the people can use it worthwhile. The families who are very far from each other can be able to talk with the use of video calls.

*In todays generation, internet is a very much important especially the communication of our loved ones who are very far from us.*
Happy to see her again - bestfriend
(The lead image is our picture during when we were at the Bato Leyte, Bay walk. My bestfriend wear an eyeglass and I wore a mask.)
**February 6, 2022 Sunday**
Life is not so meaningful without friends. Friends can make our life more colorful, by sharing love, care, laughter and support. We have someone to tell our secrets, our problems and our partner in any vibes.
I have a trusted and very closed friend, her name is Jessa, and she is my cousin too, we have the same family name. We were getting so much closer more when we were classmates in high school. But we separated each other when we took college. She took Information Technology and I took Education, we don't have the same course that is why we went different schools.
Good news for me when she message me, she said she will have a quick vacation for their fiesta and death anniversary for his Grandfather. My bestfriend is working at Manila since after she graduated college last 2019. She arrive home January 28, fiesta in their baranggay. She told me that we will meet on February 6 in their house.
Finally, it's already 6th of february. She call my number, she said I will go their house in the afternoon, her classmate in college will also go there. At exactly 2 pm, I came to their house and finally I met here already. She became fat, like mine. She really bloomed compared as before. I love to see her again, because it's been 3 years since we don't see each other. We talked everything what we had before and talked about happy moments about us before. While talking, we eat cooked banana and pizza brought by her classmates. Her father get 10 pcs of coconuts, and mix with condensed milk, very sweet and tasty.
After talking , laughing and sharing about happy memories we decided to go to the Bato leyte, Baywalk we will eat our dinner there. But before we go there, we just wait the rain to stop so that we will not getting wet. We just use motorcycles to ride going there.
We finally arrive there almost 6 pm. We took pictures together and strolling around to see beautiful view in their baywalk. Later on, we ordered barbeques for dinner. The taste of their bbq's are very delicious and very tasty. While eating there is a band singing, the music are very nice. The are many people there, eating also with friends and families. I love the bonding we had that night, it feels like I am also belong to their family siblings. After eating, we just sit there and waited for the time to go home.
This day is a memorable day for me as we meet again with my closest friend or my best friend. I am really happy to see her, I think I don't want to end the time while being together but I know time is limitless. I am very thankful to God that He gave us time to meet again. I hope if we will get separated again, she will always be safe for her work as well as mine.

*A true friend will always and forever your friend. Time will come that even when you are separated, you will meet again soon.*
Pampering Day

**February 5, 2022 Saturday**
Hey read cash family, how are you now? How was your day? What keeps you busy? Well, in this article I'm gonna share with you about my day, what keeps me busy and my accomplishment for today.
You know what, I don't know if I am the only one who experience about this, I will share to you about this one. A while ago, while I a busy washing my clothes at my sister's house because we don't have water in our home. I just bring my clothes there and continue washing. While, cleaning my tshirt that has a stain I am thinking about what will I do next when I finished washing my clothes. What comes my mind is, I need to go to Sogod. Sogod is a center for buying , this is a big municipality which you can buy anything and you can find dental clinic. I think that it's better that I will go to Sogod and have a cleaning and pasta for my teeth. But, I estimated for my money because I have P4000.00 left of my salary in my wallet. And as I estimated to pray for dental , the cleaning is 600 and pasta is 600 also , so the total is P1200.00. I think it is okay and I still have money left for my allowance for work next monday.
After I washed my clothes, I take a bath and get ready for my sling bag with the wallet, towel, and my cellphone. I also get ready for my mask and the cap, then sandal that I am going to wear.
I told my father to ride with me to the waiting shed it is distance from our home that is why I need to ride motorcycle so that I can easily ride tricycle going to Sogod. We are safe travelling to Sogod. By the way, my sister's daughter named Kim told me to go with me to Sogod.
We arrived at the dental clinic at 1 pm. The doctor told me that he need to eat lunch first before he will cater me with his assistant, they eat together. Me and kim, waited outside until they done eating because there's no other patient, but after few minutes there is another patient who needs to adjust braces.
After few minutes, the doctor told me to go inside, he ask me what I need to do with my teeth. I said the doctor that I am here for cleaning and pasta 1 teeth only. While the doing is working my teeth, I am so afraid because I feel about dizzy. But thanks the Lord it doesn't.
The cleaning and pasta costs P1200.00, my estimation is correct. I paid the money to the doctor's assistant and we go to the Jysmi, this is a small supermarket, I buy sandals to use when attending the mass I buy 3 for my sister, my mother and for me, I told kim to choose 1 sandal I pay for it then we go to cashier to pay. Then later on, we ride tricycle going to the terminal of metro shuttle bus going our home.
We successfully arrived our home at exactly 4 pm. I thank God for the safe ride and travel though the weather is raining.

Walk by faith
*Lead Image from Unsplash*
**February 4, 2022 Friday**
Today is the most planned with my mother and father to scheduled friday of the month to visit the Sr. San Francisco. Some catholics do believe the culture, about faith of a Saint Francisco Javier, this saint is located at the highest mountain of Maasin City, Southern Leyte. Usually, the people visited there every friday. I really don't know the reason why friday.
We just use our motorcycle, the driver is my father and we ride at the back with my mother. We arrived there at 9 am, the weather is not really high, it's just natural and sometimes there is rain but just a little.
So good feeling to be back there, for almost years I haven't visited there. Some of houses there was destroyed by the typhoon, it feels so pity to see there houses falling. The place there is really a kind of mountain very high, it is not good to stay there and build houses, it is very dangerous. When we are still travelling going to the church, I saw one of the baranggay there has distributions of shelter kits, like roof. I am happy to see happy faces of the people there while carrying the kits.
While we are getting nearer at the parking area for the transportation, we make sure to secure our motorcycle and just put our helmet and other things like capote (our shield for the body when raining) it is very important to bring those things. We fix everything and there is an old man, his work is to put cover to our motorcycle and we just give him any amount of money as thankful to him for his kindness.
Going to the church is distance from the parking area, that is why we need to walk to the stairs going to the top and where the church of the Saint Francisco Javier located. While walking going above, there are lots of people who are going home they already there at the church they are done while we, we are still walking going upstairs. Such a good view while walking, you can the whole Maasin City and the very large of the sea. While I am walking I felt my feet and knees are aching, I think I was just feeling new, because I didn't have any exercise.
My father and my mother are happy while they saw familiar faces, we met people who are just from our place they also visit the Saint. They told us that they will go home first because we are very lousy hehe it was a joke from them for us. Then, we continue walking going above , and we are getting nearer at the church. We go to the are where we can buy the candle for offering,we light it and we pray at the inside of the church. The church is very little, and I am happy to see that it was not destroyed from typhoon while it was located at the top of the mountain so expected that the heavy wind will focus there, but it's not, it's just like no typhoon there.
We pray there, we all knee and pray for everything seriously and silently. Right after we take some photos together as memories because we can't promise when we can go back there. Then we put a little amount of money at the box, placed at the bottom where the crucifix of the saint standing. There are also new faces of people there.
Later, we saw a small eatery, I told my mother that before we go the down stair we need to eat first because we don't have breakfast yet and it's already 11 am. We ordered we like then we eat. After eating, we start to walk going down stairs. While walking, we stop by and have some pictures as remembrance. Then continue walking, until we finally arrive at our motorcycle. We ride going to the other saint, the Saint Anthony de Padua this saint is to help people to find the things which was lost, if you ask help to this saint to bring back your lost things, there is possibility that everything will be back to you. Our parents have a history about this, they shared the story to us before. That is why, they don't forget to visit this Saint, because this is also holy and miraculous. We don't have a picture here because their church was destroyed by the typhoon they need to repair, that is why they close the door and locked. We are just stayed outside and lighted our candle. Later, we also visit the Mama Mary Shrine, I really don't forget this shrine her bday is every 8th of the month of September. This located also at the top of the mountain, we need to walk the upstairs. It was very beautiful view for everyone, we can also see the whole municipality of Maasin. Then next stop which is the last one is, the Maasin Cathedral. We attend the Mass and after that we light also the candle and pray. Okay so while attending the mass, my boyfriend called me he said that he is at Maasin at the hospital, he was asked to help his friend to carry his uncle for check up. He told me that he will see me, and I response to him that we are already that the Cathedral church and attending the mass, a few mins later he arrived and seat with me while listening the gospel. After an hour, the mass is done. We talked for a while and ask about what happened to his uncle and later on we need to say good bye to each other because we need to travel going home and he will also going back to the hospital.
While going home, we change our route. We just passing by our school so that I can get my salary, that salary is my previous semester the month of december to january. And after that, we ride going home. We stop over at the small eatery, to eat because we are hungry, after we eat we buy lechon manok for my sister who is waiting at home.
Few minutes later, we arrive home safely. And my boyfriend also texted me that he is also going home.
I thank God about everything today, we are safe and our plan was achieved.

Occupied week?
Suggestions, feedbacks , comments are not bad. Those words written was what I've recieved after my final oral defense last January 24, 2022.
Our scheduled date for face to face final oral defense for my thesis was being cancelled and changed into referendum, which means I will submit my manuscripts to my 3 panels for final defense. All they have to do for my manuscript is to read and understand my study. They are given a chance to correct some errors, to leave comments, and also for suggestions, it's just for the improvement of my study.
Sounds natural on recieving lots of comments because it can make my study to improve and change what makes it wrong.
I received the two manuscripts with feedbacks from my 2 panels, as I've read their feedbacks, I got shocked because of so many suggestions, the one panel has 5 pages of comments and suggestions, then the other one has only 1 page of comments. I just stay calm while recieving those papers and manuscript, I also told my thesis adviser that maybe I will work it out in just 1 week, and we will meet next friday.
While I am in our home, I did a plan on my days to work out the suggestions, but what keeps me hussle is we don't have electricity, my laptop got easily low batt. But my neighbor has generator, and I am afraid if I will charge my laptop there because as what they say the generators can make the laptop broken easily. But I have no choice but to do it. I charge it in just 3 hours, and it is full already.
The generator is a big help for me, I charge my laptop in the evening and I can use my laptop every morning, I can work my thesis at home with the use of electricity but I am afraid what might be the result after this, that I charged it in the generator. I keep on praying that there's no problem for this.
While working at home, I felt so stressed because some of the suggestions from my panel was so hard. I think I can't do this alone, I want help from my adviser for the other suggestions that I think I can't do it alone. I just leave those suggestions that I do not know. On the next day, I keep on continue working , I search on the internet for the addition of any citations needed for my thesis to support my study. I am very thankful with the help of the internet that some of suggestions was answered. I think I have only 2 or 3 suggestions that I need help from my adviser, in total I have 20 or more suggestions came from the 2 panelist. As of today, I am done with the suggestions and my laptop is already low batt I need to charge this one again to the generator, huhu I'm sad for this, it is very hassle there's no electricity.
Right now, I just lay here in my bed because I work my thesis whole day I am so tired and I really need a rest for a short time. Then what comforts me when I feel tired is to lay in my bed with my pillows on my legs and shoulders. I felt so relaxed. While relaxing, I remember to write an article about my what keeps me busy this week hehe and the reason also that I can't able to write more articles it's because I am really busy with my thesis, it's just so easy. I am very serious about this, because this is just for my future.
Later on, I will get ready my things to bring tomorrow because I will go to school and meet with my thesis adviser to consult my revised outputs from the suggestions of my panels. I think I am too much excited to graduate and get a diploma from my hard works, but I think it will cost too much time because there are lots of suggestions to work it out. I just hoping that they will approve this in just 1st submission. Praying for that.

Cigarette smoking is?
*Lead Image from Unsplash*
Everyone is always praying for a long years of living their life in this world. I agree with this, even if you ask to random people about they want for a long life, they will respond without any word but a YES. I think no one will respond negatively with that question, because life is important. We want to live longer with our loved ones, we want also to fulfill our dreams in life before we die.
But someone will gonna ask, why do some people do not care for their health? How can we live life longer when you, yourself will destroy your own health? One that I am pointing about is some mens are still using cigarettes, as what they say, "Cigarette smoking is dangerous for the health". I agree , totally agree, but why?
One time, when I am at our store, some boys keep on buying the cigarettes like Marlborro it cost P8.00, jackpot white/red P6.00 and Winsborro P6.00 those were the prices of each cigarettes. But some of them will buy the marlborro, I don't know the reason why they buy more the marlborro than the other cigarettes. I think the taste is more good than the others.
A while ago, someone buy 1 stick of marlborro the more expensive than the other cigarettes, the picture attached there is "Smoking can cause Death". See, confirmed that the reason why mens in this generation got easily sick than women, it's because of using cigarettes and drinking alcoholic drinks which is not really good for the health of everyone of us.
I am really confused why they're keep on using even though they already knew the reason behind. But I got to the point that some mens are keep on buying and using, it's because of being addicted to it. Their days are not well-satisfied when they can't use cigarrette even 1 stick a day, it is part of their life and they're not happy without it.
My realization is true, I also got my point and I answered it all with my own thought. That is why I understand that every day they can buy 10 sticks maybe it's everyday, they are addicted to it and they used to it. But they must control it is not good for the health if they will gonna use it everyday. They must also think that we should care for our health because it is a blessing by God, and we must not destroy it instead caring is a must for our health.

*Life is too much precious to be destroyed by our wrong doings. We must do what is good as always to protect us any danger.*
Try to play Wordscapes
Technology is very important for today's generation. It has big role for the improvement of ourselves. We can connect our communication to other people who is very far away from us. Cellphones or anything, is an instrument that we can chat, we can call or even we can play games. But, before we can chat and call to our loved ones like friends or anyone, we need to register load. But sometimes , we don't have enough money to buy load. We can find ways to avoid being bored. When I have a load for internet, I usually registered Gosurf90 this promo is good for 7 days and has 8gb for data, this promo is really worth to use. When I have an internet data connection I installed an app, the "wordscape", I know this sounds familiar to all of you dear readcash mates.
The game word scape is a word that needs to be formed from the shuffled letters. It depends on the app of how many words will form from the shuffled letters because the blank boxes is already there. All you need to do for the blank boxes is to fill the letters to form a word. This game is so much interesting, when the time that I can easily form a word it makes me happy and ready to form another word if I already complete the blank boxes. But sometimes, my emotion got change it turns into anger when I really don't know the letters because some of the words is not familiar, you can think that is it an english word? Or anything because it is unfamiliar to me.
I suggest to some younger children to install this app because it can help for them to add their vocabularies while playing this game everywhere if they have time. I suggest that they need to have patience while playing this game especially that some children here in our place they are still an elementary and high school. Maybe that some of the words is not familiar to them, that is why they need to do their best to solve the problem and can form a word. Sometimes when I am tired of forming words but it is still wrong, then I exit this app for a while to inhale exhale so that I will not get tired and angry to the app hehe, then later on when my feelings or emotion is okay, then I play it again.
My dear read cash mates, if you are reading this article of mine please have time to install the app and this app is very free to play even without load for data or anything, you can just play. It can help to boost our word vocabulary, we can also meet new words that we really don't know before. It is very recommendable rather than any games which is for gambling, or the games that needs data connection, or the games which is about killing , those were not good for the young children.
Always bear in mind that in technology, not all are advantage because sometime disadvantages are also there. But the person will have to think about what is good and bad for the sake of themselves. We can control ourselves, we can think what can help for the betterment of our brains. Todays currently happenings, the education has changed. We followed the modular or blended learning caused by the pandemic. We can't deny that answering modules is enough for the learnings of students. That is why, I recommend everyone to help for their brain to learn more in a different way.
**Realization in Life:**
*If there's a way to improve our learnings, then we can find a way for it.*
*Technology is advanced in the new generation, we should know what is right and wrong.*
*Keep on learning word scape while at home.*
going to PRC for a cause
Every people needs time to accomplish all the needed requirements for application. To apply for work is not just so easy to submit any documents but it needs papers which is valid. One of requirements to apply in public school is a certified true copy of PRC ID. The nearest Professional Regulation Commission here in our place is located at the Robinson's Place Ormoc. Before I travelled to ormoc, I get ready my important papers, like QR Code ,and the Vaccine card, it is needed to get inside the Mall. The Ormoc City is far from our location, I ride the metro shuttle bus. It travels to Bontoc, Bato, Hilongos, Hindang, Inopacan, Albuera, Baybay, to Ormoc.
While riding a bus, I put a headset on my ears to avoid any distractions because I want to sleep until I arrived in ormoc. The fare is 270 something, it's quite expensive but it's alright because the route is just one way.
When I arrrived at the Ormoc terminal, I find motorcycle to ride going to Robinson.
I get inside the mall and present my Vaccine Card, I went to the second floor and get ready for my papers to present at the entrance of PRC, the schedule of request and 10 photocopy of PRC ID for authentication. While I am already inside, the guard told me to indicate the documentary stamp , only 1 per page because the 1 documentary stamp cost 30 pesos and it is equivalent to two doc stamp. I realized I don't have any glue to attach my doc stamp, but the PRC is good, they have free glue there. I am done doing it, then I seat there at the area to submit my documents. After an hour, I am finally done with my purpose there.
It's already time for lunch, I go to the first floor where I can find the Mang Inasal. I ordered, 1 thigh 2 rice 1 halo-halo 1 empanada and 1 iced tea. I am very satisfied with my lunch, I am full. After eating, I went to the supermarket the going to the RRJ brand of clothes to check if they have sale items. There I found long sleeves 3 for 1000. I buy it, then the other one is slipper. It's just a gift for myself since I didn't buy for myself since christmas, and it help me think also that my travel is worth it.
After anything there in the mall, I go outside and ride a tricycle going to terminal. There I saw the Metro shuttle going to Sogod, it will pass by in our place. The bus is full, and there I saw the vacant seat at the same seat I ride going to ormoc. It's already 2 pm and I arrived at exactly 5 pm. I felt dizzy but later on I am feeling fine. I call my father to get me ride going to home, and yup finally I can rest in my bed. I am so tired for my whole day, I thank God that he is guiding me everything to avoid any problems in my travels. And my purpose was accomplished.

*Everything will be done through God's guidance, always keep on praying and believing. 🤍*
trying my very best
This new article of mine is all about my hardships that can't measure and can't compare to what others do to achieve their goals in life. Sometimes, we can say to ourselves that we can't do it, or shall we say we can't achieve this one or everything we dreamt of.
Yesterday, I went to school where I am working, I need to get my Certificate of Employment to attach my documents to be submitted in the school where I want to apply for DepEd. Sweats and headache that I fell yesterday, it's not that easy. I arrived there at 8 am, I directly go to the Human Resource office where I can get my COE. When I went there, the Human Resource is absent or he have a travel, the COE is ready but I need an authenticated copies, the problem there is the signature. I waited there almost 2 hours, while waiting for it, I visited my thesis adviser. My adviser told me to get the manuscript to my panels after they have suggestions for my final oral defense. I got 2 manuscript, from my 2 panels, there is one left, because Sir Max is not yet done checking. As I've read the suggestions, there are lots to change my manuscript but it's okay it shows that they understand my study and help to improve my study. After that, my adviser told me to revised my study to follow their suggestions.
Later on, I went again to the HR office and waited there an hour to release my COE. The COE is very important to add points for my ranking, so that I can reach the 70 points to passed the RQA for DepEd. Still my COE is on the process, I remember that I was not yet cleared to my clearance as a requirement for my thesis that is why I went to library for the signature of my clearance, then next is the signature of the supply office, next I went to cashier but they cannot able to sign the clearance they can't open the system as of now because there is no strong signal in our school after the typhoon. After the clearance, I went back to the HR office and wait fir the release if COE.
At exactly 11 am, finally I recieved my COE authenticated copies, because they find ways for it. I put my COE to my folders needed to submit to the school where I want to apply.
As I watched my watch, it's time for lunch. I travelled to Sogod, for my lunch. When I arrived there, I went aright away to the nearest food house, the My Abohan near the terminal, I ordered bulalo and chicken with 2 rice. I eat there alone in the table, but the other table, the other customer eat also and the other customer is still ordering food.
I am full and finished eating my foods, I am looking the jeepney going our place but it's not there, that's why I go to the terminal for the metro shuttle where it pass by our place. I ride tricycle and paid 10 pesos. I am exactly arrive the Metro shuttle bus and seconds later, it started to travel. After minutes, I arrived already to the crossing I paid 23 pesos. I am looking again a motorcycle, and ride to the school where I submit my applications, we travelled two schools, 1 school is the highschool and the other school is elementary. After all those, I already submitted my apllications, I travelled to our house, when I arrived there, I paid 100 pesos to kuya driver.
Finally, I finished my plans for my friday. I am done with my tasks, I am tired but really tried my best to accomplished my plans.
Thank you so much Lord for always guiding me, I know it's not easy to travel alone and doing my tasks alone. But the good Lord, always keep on supporting me for how busy I am.
Again, thank you so much Lord God. Your will be done. Please help me for my applications to be successful for this year 2022. 😇
My grandma is brave!
Time passes by, and so is the life of a person. Nothing stays the same, your young physical appearance today might be changed after how many year we will get older. No one will get younger but older. We can't deny that our age is increasing year by year. Such a lucky to hear that a person became old without any disabilities. Some of the people living in this world has different kind of situation , especially when we talks about health. Health is very important, anything and everything we do is very important but it depends on the health of a person. This article, it takes minutes to think what will be my topic to share here in writing an article, but an hour ago I was there in my grandma's house that is why my topic for this article will talk about the life of my grandma.
My grandmother is already 87 years of age, she is now widow because his husband died at the age of 50 something. We call her "popoy", another term of Lola or grandma here in our place. Popoy is already aged, she is with my Tito, the brother of my mother. My tito is also single and in the age of 40 something. Even if he is single, he has many coconut trees, he is everyday busy in cleaning his farm, maybe that is his way of releasing his emotions and using the time to not think about woman out there. He always do prepare for the meals of my grandma, or his mother. My popoy can't prepare the meals because she is disabled person, Her situation now is really hard, it is because of her hand is always shaking. The story behind her hand is, during his teens days she doesn't do schooling, they don't have enough money to support her schooling that is why she realize that it's better to help her family in their farm or the farm of the other people to help everything, and after that they will pay for my popoy after the hard works. The reason why her hands now is shaking, it's because after she clean the farm she will go back home to cook for family meals and she need to wash her hands, and that is not advisable because she came from the very hot sun. Now that she is already old, she suffer her hands , can't eat and drink alone as of now. Is she want some help, she just call our names and we will go their in the house to help her to eat. I felt pity about the situation she in this time. I felt happy also to think that she is really brave person, it been how many years since she have problem with his hand. Another problem is a sense of hearing, she can't hear anything but when we shout or we loud our voices with action, she can understand. My popoy is truly a mother, since she was born in this world , she really takes good care to this children which shows love and respect for everyone.
Lately, after I take a bath she saw me outside of our house, she call me and tell me to cook the rice. I went there, and follow his errands. Right after I finished the tasks, my plan is to handed her the spoon while eating but she told me that I will eat too, our viand is fish. I also like to eat fish , after we finished eating we are talking about everything. I love to see happy faces of my popoy, it means a lot to me. And it feels also that she is happy after she eat, she is full.
While talking with her, as I see her face, she is beautiful much more when she was young but a person will change , especially in her look appearance as getting older. I really hope and pray that God will help my grandmother to overcome any trials in her life and will give her long life, so that we will spend a long years together, and my child can see her soonest.
**Realization is life:**
*Physical appearance will change but the personality will remain forever 🤗*
Happy Love Day!
**January 25, 2022**
Every 25th of the month is our celebration with my partner as monthsary. We always use the word "Happy Birthday" as greetings to each other. We are already gained 5 years together since I said yes as girlfriend to him and he will be my boyfriend. Our experience is not easy before, because we came from friends and barkadas, until we fall in love that is why there's something to him showing that I am special to him always when we were together with our other barkadas. That's how it started! But, when I recall the past we encountered lots of trials that might ruin a relationship. I'll share to you by these following bullet forms:
• **Falling to my barkada/friend**
We were classmates during college days - third year, we both took Bachelor of Secondary Education, but we have different majors, I took Filipino major while he is a Mathematics major. Then in our class we have sectioning, we have the same section , we will be together in the class in minor subjects then separated when major subjects. At first, I don't know him and he don't know me too. When the semester started, we met new faces of our classmates and introduce ourselves infront of our teacher and classmates. After how many months, we knew our name already but we're not just so close. Someone texted my mobile number, the message was *"Hi gwapsss"*, the number is not familiar and I don't know why I felt nervous and willing to know who texted me. I don't have a load that time, I went to the store and ask to buy load. Later, I already registered the load and replied to the message, *"who is this?"* , then he replied again, *"I am your classmates, that 1 boy a math major"*. It sink my mind right away, who he is. Then I replied, *"where did you get my number?"*, he replied also, *"I got your number to my friend who is also our classmate because he is your classmate before"*. Oh I see, confirmed, I have my classmate before in 2nd year a MAPEH major and he is a friend and barkada to him. After days have passed, we meet everyday in our classroom, sometimes he talk to me and telling jokes he is good in joking and makes me laugh. He is different from the other guy, he has a sense of humor, he is also smart, he does participating in our class, I think he did that to impress his classmates, and I am one of that hehe. I love guys who is smart and active in the class. After how many months, he always text me and message some comfort words, it began on the time he invited me to eat outdoor, I said yes because it's about food, I don't reject when it is about foods. After that, we used to eat together but we were friends yet. Until, there is a moment of silence we talk about families until we got into the point of talking about relationship. He shared that he has an ex, I forgot the reason why we broke up and he is single. I shared also that I came from break-up , months ago, I am also single. After that moment, it's already time to sleep, then he said he need to walk with me going to boarding house for me to be safe, when I arrive there he went to their boarding house. The next day, we eat together and he usually get my bag and put snacks there inside my bag, when I arrive in my boarding house I got shocked when I found snacks in my bag. Hehehe it made me fall in love deeper to him. Until, the month of may 25th 2016, he told me to ask permission if we will be in a relationship together I felt confused and don't know what to say but later on I said yes, I am willing to be with him. Then he gave me a ring, a simple ring which indicated inside a word "gwapsss" as our endearment. The hardships there it's because we were barkada and I promise to myself that we will end there as barkada but time comes that the two of us have the same feelings, that is why until now we celebrated every 25th of the month.
• **Long distance Relationship**
Communication and seeing each other can help to long last the relationship. Sometimes sounds normal to not everyday you have conversations but for me atleast once week we can see each other. We have the same province of Southern Leyte, but different municipality, I am from Bontoc and he is from San Francisco. The San Francisco is part of the Panaon Island, which found at the last edge of the Island of Southern Leyte. In their barangay location, there is no signal they will go to the mountain just to find even 1 bar just to text and call, the internet connection is too hard to find. The reason, we just send a message every morning and evening before sleep, I used to that and for me that is okay, we surpass that challenge because we already now 5 years and turning 6th this coming month of may.
See, we're too far but I am thankful to him because he find a way just see each other because he also have motorcycle. It takes 1 hour and 30 mins to travel. I always pray for his safe ride as always.
• **Jealousy , Busy and Being Hard-headed**
Sometimes I act normal for the situations that he have time with his friends, they will go somewhere for a purpose, I get jealous about it when he have time for others but it's okay afterwards I can realize that sometimes it's not just about you but for his friends also. When I met his friends in his birthday, they were all okay, they were also friendly. Being busy is normal, but somethings it can cause me angry because when he is busy he don't have time to text me or to chat me, but I realized that I need to accept about it as long as he is safe. Being hard-headed, sometimes when he has a favor but I didn't listen, that's when he get angry and I also got angry that's how we begin to fight. But it doesn't last for an hour, we just make it through and telling forgiveness to each other.
**Realizations in Life:**
*Those were some of the challenges I've encountered in our relationship. But all those trials and challenges, it help us and inspires us to grind more, to keep on trusting more in our relationship. Giving up is not an advisable when you encountered any trials in life, we both need to find a way to lower the pride so that everything will be fine and back to normal. To all couples out there, always think what is right for a long lasting relationship.*
Romoss 30+ MAH
Every people lives with different types of living. Some families communicate their relatives and families from far places to ask for help especially this time of pandemic. People needs financial for this time. Especially those families, the source of their needs is farming. After the typhoon, some of the farms were destroyed, the plants and anything. That is why they need to ask favor for help to their relatives who are working, even just a little amount of money is a very big help for them.
One time, an old woman came to me and ask if I have a load in my cellphone, she want to call and talk her relatives in manila with an important matter and I guess it's about financial.
I told him that I have a load in my cellphone but my cellphone is low battery, and the charging of cellphone with the use if generator will start at 6 pm, and the time we talk is 3 pm. I told to her that she will wait when my cellphone will be charge, and tomorrow she can talk to her relatives.
Later at 4 pm, my sister brought to me the new powerbank. As the woman sees it, she is happy because she think that I can charge my cellphone and can call her relatives.
My powerbank is original, the brand is ROMOSS with the capacity of 30000 MAH , a very nice and good quality powerbank. It is very useful especially this time of pandemic and after the typhoon we don't have an electricity. I bought this powerbank to my sister with the price of P1200. Her price to the other buyer is P1800. I thank her to the low price for me, she really my sister, I lover much.
After I unbox the powerbank I can't hide how happy I am , finally I got mine even when I go somewhere I can bring this and can charge my cellphone right away. Wow just wow hehe
When I open the bar of the battery it's already 3 bars and the full bars is 4. That's why I didn't charge my cellphone yet, I charge my powerbank to the generator at 6 pm so that it will be fully charged at the very first time use. And as I wake up in the morning, I charge my cellphone now, I can't wait my cellphone to fully charged, I used it and write an article to publish this morning.
I promise myself now that I need to publish 1 article in the morning and 1 article in the evening. I got amazed because as I published poems I earned more amount of BCH , such a happy feeling. Then now, I don't have a topic and idea to write any poem, that's why I just shared today an article about my new powerbank, I can't help but to inspire you all about my new powerbank, how useful it is in our situation nowadays, it's too hard.
I realized now that, we can't communicate our loved ones who are far from us if we don't have gadgets like cellphones and anything that can be used. Cellphones are very useful and as well as the powerbank. Financial is a very common needs of every people, that is why we need to spend money. I also spend my money, I just buy and used it when it is very needy. Example, this powerbank I really really need this one, that is why I buy it.
I used my money from gcash which is my earnings here in read cash. Thank you si much guys for keep on giving me amount of tips, the upvotes and commenting my article also. I promise myself to write more and can read yours too. So that, we earn together! I am so blessed to be invited in this platform, thank you for the people behind this blessings I received.
