My daily routine and new nails.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**Welcome to night shift!**
**Where today is tomorrow, tomorrow is yesterday, and I do not even know what day of the week it is.**
Working in a BPO for almost three years now, still I am confused on time and day everytime I'll be scheduled on night shift. Yet, I get used to it. And because of that, my daily routine changed from time to time.
But here's my usual routine I do.
My shift starts at 3:00 AM. Sometimes at 1:00 AM. That just means my daily routine changes from time to time. But here's my usual daily routine.
At around 2:45 to 2:55 AM is my waking time. I only need five minutes to set up my tools then start to work.
If I feel like doing something on my first 10 minutes break, I will cook rice and prepare my coffee. Or I'll just rest for a while and scroll things on my phone. Then get back to work.
Then during my 25 minutes break, its either I'll cook my breakfast or just order beforehand if I still have spare money. Sometimes, I used my other 10 minutes, for me to at least have 35 minutes break, then get a power nap.
Then log out time. It is either I'll eat or take my bath or just lie in bed. But most of the time, I choose to lie in bed because of back pain and tiredness. Play with my phone and sometimes I fall asleep by then.
I'll wake up at around 2:00 PM, sometimes 4:00 PM. Then will take my bath at 6:00 PM. As much as I wanted to take my bath in the morning, I just can't as I'll be sleepy waking up by earlier.
Then after my bath, I'll get my dinner then maybe render pre shift overtime or just use my time here in Read Cash.
But you know what, I am having a difficulty these past few days. I used to fall asleep at around 8:00 PM, but now? Gosh! I'll fall asleep at around 11:00 PM.
Sometimes, it is just too tiring, but yeah. That's how it is. I actually get used to it and I just need to make sure to have my vitamins for a healthier body.
And look, I got my nails done again. Do you like the colour? Well, this is supposed to not be the design I will be having. It is supposed to be just a plain dirty white with a lining, but my heart wants this one. So I just go for it. What do you think? I just so love pampering myself this way.

Minwoo: The Walking Red Flag.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Have you already watched Business Proposal? I shared in my previous article that its the kdrama I am eyeing right now and it what's make my Monday so exciting.
And if you did, for sure you know Minwoo. Shin Hari's bestfriend. Yoora's boyfriend.
Hari liked him a lot. For seven years. But when she knew that Minwoo and Yoora get back together, she get hurt, but she decided to move on. And she did.
And now when she's already happy, this Minwoo is trying to get on her way. It seems that she doesn't want Hari to be happy because of other person. And it seems that he doesn't want Hari to be in a relationship.
***Like for real boy? Think of the seven years. Seven long years and you didn't even care about Hari's feelings for you. And now when she's happy, you're trying to cross the line and it seems you do not want her to be in a relationship! Hari's a grown up woman. Let her be.***
Funny as it seems, I am seem to be over reacting about this drama. But for real, it is so annoying. He's such a walking red flag.
I understand that he cares for her as a bestfriend, but his action doesn't show it. And one thing, he's acting that way in front of her girlfriend. If you were the girl, for sure you'll see it as a red flag and you'll get hurt. Unless, red is your favourite color.
Kidding aside, sometimes because of what we called love, because of what we feel towards other person, romantically to be exact, we tend to not see how we act. We tend to not see if we are already causing harm to others, if we are already crossing the line.
I am not sure what the guy is really feeling for Hari, but one thing is for sure, he's making Hari uncomfortable and he is hurting his girlfriend.
It is better said than done that he needs to be more cautious on what he is acting, but he at least need to know and consider what other people may feel.
It is okay to care for someone who you treated as bestfriend, but you need to know your limitations. You need to know until when you can say a word. You need to know if you're not crossing the line.
They're grown ups, and they have each others life they need to work on.

What makes my Monday so exciting?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
You know, I never felt this feeling before. Being excited for Monday? Naaaah! It's a big no for me. Imagine? Monday is too far from Friday, but Friday is too near to it. Like how? How?
Good thing, one thing is making me excited every Monday.
**So what makes my Monday so exciting?**
Not a big deal for some, but I just find it funny.
**Business Proposal**. An on going Kdrama that you can watch on Netflix. This is the reason why my Monday became so exciting. The release of the drama is every Monday and Tuesday at exactly 10:30 PM.
Are you watching this drama too? Its on episode 8 now and episode 9 will be aired next Monday. And again, I am excited for it.
I am actually not planning on watching this drama as I am still hooked in Juvenile Justice. I also love dramas about law and politics.
However, many users in Tiktok and Facebook kept on sharing post about it and when I saw who are the lead actor, I find it interesting to watch.
It is **Ahn Hyo Seop!** And I was like, *OMG!* He was the lead actor of Abyss with Park Bo Young, and a lead actor of Doctor Romantic Season 2 with Lee Sung Kyung. These two drama are on my top list, that is why I decided to watch Business Proposal.
Well, I didn't regret watching it as it is all worth it.
The plot of the drama is not that heavy, but you for sure will be excited about it.
I can't stop feeling *kilig* on how **Kang Tae Moo (lead actor)** treats **Shin Hari (lead actress).** *Omg!* President Kang is the standard. *Gooooosh!* They're so cute together. For real!
And for the second leads? *Myghad! Ayaw nilang magpatalo.* Their lovestory is faster than the leads. They're so cute too. **Sunghoon (second lead actor)** is super handsome and hot. Lol! And **Young Seo (second lead actress)** is very naughty and adorable. I really can't wait for the next Monday again.
And one more thing, I love Kang Tae Moo's grandpa as well. He's so cute. He's not the typical grandpa all other Kdrama has. He's very cool and very close both to Kang Tae Moo and Sunghoon. I love him too.
Well, that's it for now. I am just too excited to share it with you. But no worries, I am not planning on how the drama flows for you not to get spoiled. But all I can say, it is a recommended one. You'll be full of laughter and kilig!
Enjoy watching yeorubon!

Get ready with me - RTO.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
***"Your new return to site schedule will be on March 28, 2022. 1:00 AM to 9:00 AM."*** *- Supervisor*
**Get ready with me in returning back to site.**
****6:30 PM - Alarm Clock Rings.****
Yes. I'll be waking up that early since I am planning to cook my own food that I will bring to the office because buying in our pantry will cost me a lot. I wanted to save money as much as I can. I will cook rice and a simple viand, prepare my outfit, everything I need to bring and all.
****7:15 PM - Take a bath and do skin prep.****
Taking a bath and wearing my clothes will only take me about 25 minutes, then about 15 minutes for my skin prep. And it will be a total of 40 minutes. Is it too long? Or just enough?
Then, recheck everything to make sure I will not forget any.
****8:00 PM - Jeep Waiting.****
If you are wondering why I am going to the office as early as 8:00 PM, it is because there's no available transportation here already at around 12 midnight eventhough the curfew hours was lifted.
I decided to come early for at least I can have my four or three hours early log in for over time. That way, I can earn more.
****8:45 PM - Arrive at the office.****
Do the temperature check up and all health connections needed. Put my things on my locker and get to the production floor.
For sure at the first day back to site, I will not be able to log in right away since we need to make sure every agent has a station to log in. Probably, I can start at around 10:00 PM.
****10:00 PM - Pre shift overtime.****
Before that, I'll prepare my coffee to keep me awake and get to work.
**Work. Work. Work.**
****12:45 AM - Will take my 15 minutes break.****
****1:00 AM - Start of my regular shift.****
Start of the regular shift. No allowed log outs anymore. No talking to team mates as we may be screenshotted and be given NTE. Because as much as possible, we need to maintain social distancing. And of course, we need to focus since we are assisting two customers at a time.
****3:00 AM - 10 Minute Break.****
Not sure what I will do on that short time. Maybe I'll just go to locker, check my phone for some updates, then go back to get another set of coffee.
****3:10 AM - Back to regular work.****
**ASSIST. ASSIST. ASSIST.**
****5:30 AM - Lunch Break****
Will get my lunch bag at the guard office, get my phone from my locker, then go to designated floor to eat. It will only be a 25 minutes break, but it will be enough for me.
Return everything I got, get another cup of coffee, and back to work.
****5:55 AM - Back to work.****
**WORK ALMOST DONE. FIGHTING!**
****7:45 AM - Last 10 minute break.****
I'll just stay on my station this time, do some stretching, and talk in secret with a team mate as far as I can. Lol!
****7:55 AM - Back and back and back to work.****
**ONE HOUR MORE TO GO. LET'S GET IT.**
****9:00 AM - Shift done. Log out.****
Maybe there will be a short huddle with the supervisor and QA for some updates and arrangements.
****9:30 AM - Going back home.****
Yes. Finally. Done with 12 or 11 hours of work. And I'll off to my own dreamland.
Yes. That will be my life starting March 28, 2022. For sure, my body will have a hard adjusting with the changes but I know I can make it. I have no choice though, its my work.
Oh by the way! Before I get to sleep, I need to be here in Read Cash and in Noise Cash, these two has been part of my daily routine so no way I'll forget about it.
Then scroll on my social media accounts as well. Phew! I'll have my own night time week after next.

What's on my cart?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Yes. Everything is still on my cart. Haven't checked out yet. Haven't place ordered too. I am still thinking a million times when to have it ordered.
You may be tired of me talking about us returning to site. I can't just help it because I still do not want to. Part of me is excited, but I know I am just trying to be. Because for sure I'll be just stressed out about it.
Anyway, what's on my cart?
Jeans. I need jeans. Most of what I have are shorts which is not allowed in the office. I only have two jeans and I wanted to add more since for sure I'll be tired washing it for my time will be consumed in the traffic going home. So I need to have an extra. I actually have two skirts as well, but I still need to bring it to a tailor shop to alter since they're just too big for me. I also have dresses, but for some reason I may not be comfortable going to work in dress. So I am still deciding if I'll pursue this one, because you know, wearing just jeans and a basic top with flat sandal is the most comfortable outfit for me.
What do you think?
Umbrella. Bag. Alcohol spray. And a lunch bag. I need all of them. Umbrella because here in our place it kept on raining and raining and raining, so I'll not let myself get wet while going to work. Alcohol spray, what we really need every time we go out since we need to sanitize ourselves from time to time and I do not want to bring the usual alcohol bottle as it keeps on getting spilled on my bag. A lunch bag, which I badly need because I decided to bring my own food to office because the foods in our pantry is very expensive. One viand will cost you 50 pesos, plus 15 pesos rice. Gosh! That's 65 pesos per meal. Compared if I'll bring my own, I can definitely save. And I need this lunch bag for my tupperware and tumbler. My work bags are too small for it.
Mask. Mask. Mask.
Along with the alcohol, mask is what we need to go out. I still have two packs of ten mask here in the house, but U just wanted to add more to make sure I will not run out. Because you know, buying here cost almost three times of that price. I do not need to worry about the shipping because I have free shipping vouchers.
And the last, Babe Hair Care. Of all the hair care I saw this formula seems to be good. I saw a lot of reviews from it after using in almost a month and you can definitely see a good result on their hair. I wanted to try the product to see if it will work on my curly hair as I mentioned on my previous article I am looking for best hair care products.
However, I find them out of my budget yet. They do not have small sizes of the product as well for me to at least try it first. Means, I have no choice but to buy it.
But I am still thinking twice. I need to make sure I have a spare money for this so that I will not be out of budget.
What do you think should I buy first?

What's latest on my phone?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Screenshots. Screenshot. Screenshots.
My gallery actually is almost full of screenshots. Screenshots of the quizzes I took from the company, screenshot of my tools having a connection issues, BTS, house interiors, bills payments to make sure, and a lot more. A lot more that as I mentioned, it almost made my gallery full. Actually I already deleted the old one's after I synced it in on my Google Photos. At least, there I still have a lot of storage.
Anyway, since I run out of topic again for today, I'll be sharing instead the latest screenshot I have on my phone.
Every time I see this on my gallery, I am always remembered that 10 days from now I'll be reporting back to site. This is actually a vaxx roll out for us employees to make sure that everyone entering the company premises is fully vaccinated. That is to make sure that everyone will be extra safe. After we sign the roll out, we will be provided with a green sticker that means we are fully vaccinated. And for those who haven't got their vaxx, they will be asked to do RT-PCR every 14 days. I know, it will actually cost them money but since we are in a new normal, we really need to abide with the new rules.
I'm surely gonna miss working at home. How I wish they will change their mind!
K-Pop fans will understand this. @Ellehcim , have you tried this? Ordering merch from Twitter. Yes! As you can read, it is a payment form I sent to Seoul Stop, the shop on Twitter where I ordered the new merch of BTS, the BTS Deco Kit. I supposed to not order this one, however last December I wasn't able to order the BTS Season's Greetings because the money I supposed to pay for it was used for our budget after we were hit by the typhoon. So I guess, I deserve this one right? Maybe this will serve as the birthday gift for myself this June as the estimated time of arrival for this one will be in May..
And to anyone here who's looking for a legit seller of K-Pop Merch, this shop is go to shop. Pabudol ka na!
A Curly Girl Method I got from Google.
I've been looking for ways on how to take good care of curly hair as I have one. Well my hair is not that too curly, its like wavy on the center part and in the end is the curl. I wanted to learn how to properly wash my hair with right shampoo and conditioner. Some suggested me to get my hair rebonded, but I never agreed since my hair for sure will just be damaged and I may regret it at the end.
After having this method, the next thing I will do is to look for effective shampoo and conditioner that will match my hair.
Anybody here who knew any? My hair is natural. I haven't coloured nor bleached it yet.
And another appointment I made with Brows and Shine. I'll get my nails done again after a month. I already shared it here how satisfied I was with their services. I'll get my nails done first before I'll return home in Leyte. But I am stucked on what to choose between the three designs I'll drop below.
That's the three options I have in mind. My personal bet is the white one with gold lining in the bottom. But I love the other two as well.
What about you? What do you think is the best?

However, everything seems to really have an end.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
When the surge of Covid-19 started, everyone in the office became extra careful. In every supervisor's station, there's a set of Lysol, Alcohol, and Wipes prepared for the agents to use before logging in. We need to sanitize our station first before starting our shift. The computer set, headset, and even the office chair. We actually became paranoid that we do not want to touch anything at the office. Well, who will not? The virus was deadly.
The cases kept on rising that time, that we need to arrange ourselves one sit apart to implement social distancing. But for real, the office cannot accommodate everyone with such arrangement as the office was created for full capacity. That's when the management decided to send us in work from home set up. We were provided with computer set and a WIFI and we just need to make sure to look for a place with good reception.
*And that's where my work from home set up started and I'll be sharing how it works for me. The struggles and the cons I experienced.*
That's our first day on our new home for our work from home set up. Before we deployed to WFH, the company let us stay in a hotel for at least three weeks for us to look for a good place to stay in for our new set up. That's me on brown, and Gly - my previous office mate, @BreadChamp on the door, and I do not know where Ramon was that time.
This was the first struggle we have while working at home. We started with this set up. Can you imagine how painful our backs back then? Just don't imagine it. It was too painful that I always asked @BreadChamp or Ramon to massage me everyday.
And since we cannot bear the backpain we felt, we decided to invest in a working table. It felt so good to finally work comfortably. I miss Gly, as she was my roommate before.
And since she was, that was the time where I get addicted to BTS as she kept on bugging me to watch their music videos and music shows. Well, I didn't regret knowing BTS. They makes me happy day by day.
And since working at home somehow made us bored as time goes by, that's when I started to learn about cooking. Well, I already cooked a lot but most of them are not successful. Lol! But atleast, I tried. The most cooking failure I have was the Potato Mojos. But according to @immaryandmerry , the failure was fine as I nailed the plating.
And here's what she's referring to. Did I even nail it? Lol!
And you know what, working at home for some reason gives me stress that I experienced this sudden hair fall. I have a lot of hair fall, that I even felt afraid that all my hair will fall and I'll be bald. I do not know how stress I was that time, that everytime I take a bath, comb my hair, and even just tie it, I'll get that such amount of hair. But good thing, it lessen to none this time which I am glad of.
And working at home as well made me do a lot of thing. We were able to celebrate my sister's partner's birthday, Liam's 2nd birthday, and I even got the chance to babysit Liam. It was such a fun time.
And there's a lot more thing and activities I experienced working at home. The WFH set up is very convenient as I do not have to prepare and wake up early going to the office. I can work without taking a bath or anything. And I even have a lot of time to rest.
**However, everything seems to really have an end.**
Just earlier, we attended a meeting telling us that after two years of working at home, we will be returning to site. It is not only our company but all the BPO nationwide. It was actually okay as we were given an expectation before hand that it is possible for us to be back on site. It is just that, it was too sudden that most of us are already in each others provinces with no boarding house here in the city. According to my supervisor, BPO Companies filed a petition to the gov't to atleast extend the WFH set up until September for the agents to prepare well in returning to office. Sad to say, it was not approved. And we do not know why. We do not know why we need to be back on site knowing that BPO are just doing fine with the current set up.
As an agent, I can't do anything with this news but to abide with it. But we are still hoping that they may change their mind still.
I was scheduled to be back on site this March 31, 2022. And let's accept what has been discussed.

Rating my past boarding houses.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*In almost three years of my stay here in Cebu, I experienced staying in different boarding houses, with different experiences. And I will be rating each of them, depending on the comfort I felt while staying on the said boarding house.*
**Sitio Baca Boarding House (First Boarding House)**
It was the first boarding house I stayed in. It's just a walk away to my work office which kind of gave me a reason to save for transportation that time. Location twice, I find it good there. There's a lot of carenderia around, malls, remittance center, banks. The place is accessible to all. Which supposed to be good. But what's not good in the place is that, the water interruption. Everyday, the water will stop at around 8 PM and we have to fetch water downstairs which is kinda tiring. No personal cr, and no sink, and we can't even cook. That I decided to transfer to a new house with a friend. I'll rate the boarding house 5/10.
**Banilad Boarding House (Second Boarding House)**
Just like the first one, it is almost the same with this. Accessible with everything around. This one seems to be upgraded as the water interruption was not that often. However, the room is too small as well the bed and there 's only a very small window that the air seemed to cannot enter the house. Cannot cook as well and no personal cr and sink. I'll the house with 6/10.
**Camputhaw Boarding House (Third Boarding House)**
This one feels to be the best among all of the boarding houses I mentioned here. There's actually no personal cr and sink, but it seems like there is since it is only us and another renter who's not home always who lives the house. There's actually two common cr which is super clean, a large sink, and a big sala. I was comfortable on this house as the landlady was very kind to us as well. Not until, we decided to move out and we asked for our electric bill and we were given with about almost 2000 pesos for just 14 days. Like, we were scammed? This boarding will be 4/10 for me.
**Bacayan Boarding House (Fourth and Present Boarding House)**
I'll rate this place right away with 10/10. The place is accessible to all, one ride to our office, our landlady si very kind to us, has our own cr and sink, two rooms and a small sala. This place is really like a home. We're already one year on this place and I really have no plan in transferring anymore as I really find comfort on this place. The rent is higher than the usual boarding house I've stayed but the comfort it gave is worth it.
*They said that you do not need to invest to a place that you are just renting as it will only cost you money, no need to buy new things, as for sure you'll transfer in a new home and it will be a waste of money. But I think differently. When living in a place, you do not need to invest that much. You just need to add a little spice on the place for it to really feel like home. You do not need to buy a lot. Just a little touch of home will do. For me sometimes, it is not the cost that matters as long as you have the funds, but the comfort it will give you.*

It is not a "just" work.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*"Ah, Call Center Agent ka lang pala?"*
*"Sus, madali lang naman maging CC, tamang upo, tas aircon, free coffee. Sarap ng trabaho."*
*"Wag ka na mag call center, wala ka namang makukuha diyan. Magturo ka na kasi yun naman yung tinapos mo."*
Most of the lines I heard when I started working as a Call Center Agent, right after I graduated. I really wanted to try working in a BPO to see how really it works that the day after my graduation, I got my way here in Cebu City. And when I posted updates online about my work, some congratulated me for getting hired, but most really said that lines above. Like for real? We're not just call center agents. We are more than that.
Putting the word "just" on people's statements about BPO is really degrading. We are not stealing, we are not killing people, we are not cheating. We are working decently.
I am actually tired still hearing that line until now that I am still a call center agent. If you think applying for this job is just as easy as one, two, three then you're wrong. Everything starts with the interview. You'll be asked questions out of nowhere, like "What if you're an alien, what will you do?" And you'll be too stunned to speak by then. You'll see that question as a non sense one, but once you'll get to be endorsed in the office, you'll realized that it is really possible to get asked with such out of nowhere questions. Because in call center, you'll get to engaged with different people, from different countries, with different attitudes. You'll engaged with people you cannot even see.
That is why, some call center agents when being told "Ah! You're just working in a BPO." Tend to answer them, "Pass the interviews first and let see if you can say that again." Because for real, we are so tired of hearing that line.
And please know that working in a BPO, is not just working there. Working there because they are the breadwinners of the family. Students are even working as a part time call center agent just for them to fund their studies, working in a BPO can help you start your business as you can get funds from it. I have known a lot of call center agents being able to send their siblings to school and made them gradute in time. And working in a BPO, will really help you with things. That's when you learn how to be more patient, that's where you can learn how to socialize with people, that's where you can learn how to manage your time. So if you think that working as a call center agent is just a "just work", then there's something wrong with your thinking. And if you see call center agents trying to be happy and living the best of their lives, going to beaches to have fun, it does not mean they have a lot of money. They deserve to have fun and unwind too.
Anyway, as long as your work is not causing anybody pain, as long as you're not stepping on them, then you are good to go. We all are thriving hard in this life. We all wanted to have a good life. So if this is one of our way to have that dream, let us be and do yours too.

It was an unexpected visit I made today to a close friend. The real plan was to only claim the NBI I processed last two weeks, which I finally got then go home. However, I just felt not going home yet and decided to go to another city. We just ate at a buffet, then got some coffee, then I go home. I forgot to take some pictures as I enjoyed just talking that I even forgot the time.
I even wasn't able to ride on the last bus going home that I decided to get a taxi instead.
The taxi driver talked about how the price hike of the fuel affected everything, which I agreed. I even saw the changes on the prices of every gasoline station we passed through, different prices. Some has 79 pesos per liter, some are 77 pesos, and some really caught up to 80 pesos and more.
But you know what the driver said? ***"Wala nay paki taga Cebu ani, kay kadto ganing nibagyo, niabot man gani ug 150 pesos ang litro."*** *(Cebu City people will not mind the price hike, because with the last typhoon experienced, it even reached to 150 pesos per liter.)* Which I actually find funny and true. I mean, he's not bragging that Cebu people can afford anything even with the price hike, I just felt like he's just trying to be more positive despite of the changes in everything because of the ongoing war. I mean, we cannot do anything with the changes as it is how it is.
I just find it nice that people, despite of what is happening right now cannot do anything but to accept the changes and be positive. Not only the Cebu people, but we Filipinos are really good in adjusting and coping up with any changes.
You know, some may actually tell us that we are not good at anything, that we are 'just' Filipinos, that we are weak. Little did they know in our hearts, we can do more. We tend to complain, but still we do what needs to be done. Life is not easy as we thought it would be, but we have all the powers and talents to get through that difficulty.
I even remembered way back after Typhoon Odette hit Cebu, there's really no water, electricity, and all. Drivers tend to fall in line to gasoline station, morning and evening. Workers falling in line on ATM machines, the same, morning and evening while holding iced coffee. It was difficult after the typhoon but you can see them trying to be more positive. It is not bragging to act like that after such tragic event, it is just that its one way of the people coping up with what happened. Because that is how life works. If you're going to be swayed with the negativities, you lose. Easier said than done, but that's how really it is.
Changes from time to time really may happen, and we will be affected with such that sometimes we cannot do anything about it, but to accept the changes, and do our best to be more positive. After all, everything has an end. If it is sad today, for sure happy days are coming. You, the wheel of life. Sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down. You just need to get used to it. And it makes life more exciting and worth living.

Let me tell you this.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
I missed the chance to write an article last night because I just slept for I was only able to sleep for four hours in the morning after being awake for almost a day. This may be a piece of cake for someone not having enough sleep, but for me it is really a big deal. Once I do not get that much of sleep, my migraine will attack me over, I'll have a bad mood, I'll be too dizzy, and I'll feel like throwing up from time to time that it makes me uncomfortable. That's why, I need to really sleep even though I need to miss a thing.
Which this one is actually okay.
Let me tell you this. Sometimes, we need to sacrifice one thing for a greater result. I mean, if you have enough sleep, you'll be more productive that you can do more things instead of just one thing that you are supposed to exchange with a good sleep.
Let me tell you this. Life is not always aligned by how we wanted it to be. We wanted to be happy? Life will make us sad. We wanted to succeed? Life will fail us. Not because life doesn't want the best for us, it is just that life wanted to teach us that we need to work hard to earn what we wanted in life. There's no such thing as easy as one, two, three. But if you know how to go with the flow, you'll see life that easy.
Let me tell you this. People come and go, so stop the chase. Being left alone does not always mean you have something lacking in yourself that they do not want you. Sometimes, being left behind means you have that much that they can't even compare it on what they just have. You do not deserve them. You always deserve better.
Let me tell you this. Being alone does not mean you are only. Sometimes there's more peace we can feel on being alone. We can do whatever we want by not thinking how others will say. We are free if we are alone. We can have a lot of "me time". We can plan what we wanted to have in our future and we can work on it peacefully.
Let me tell you this. I am actually writing this one out of boredom from work. I am actually working right now, and my customers are all very good to me as of the moment, which I am not used to. They used to throw me bad words which I find so challenging to deal with. But still I love having good customers too as I can relax like this. For sure, before my shift ends, I'll encounter that rude customer. Well, that's how a customer service works and I get used to it already.
And let me tell you this. I am now ending this article now as I need to prepare a coffee to keep me awake in my entire shift.

5:40 PM Thoughts.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**I do not know everything and I get confused sometimes. So when I asked humbly, please at least be good. Or if you are not willing to answer or help, you can always say so. I'll understand. Let's all be kind.**
*** Just a random thought I got after watching a few episodes of the Kdrama, Juvenile Justice. I'll not share what's the series all about as maybe some of you is watching the same. And I do not want to spoil you the flow.*
Anyway, have you tried asking yourself some **what if's?** Like, ***what if this thing will happen?***, or ***what if I am her or him?***, or ***what if this is not the life I have right now?***, or just any random what if that you could have and if ever, ***what will you do?***
Personally, I have a lot of what if's. What if's that I do not even know if for some reason will not be what if in the future. Like, what if?
**What if I am a guy?** Well, if I am a guy I actually do not know what I am doing right now. I do not know if I am in the same situation as what I have right now. But if only I am a guy, I guess I'll be on another country right now. Maybe, I am already living the dream I wanted. Maybe, I am slowly building a family.
**What if I am rich?** Maybe I'll be happier. I mean, I am happy. It is just that, I do not need to think of what will happen in the future as I am already secured. As I know I still have a lot. But since I am not, I need to double the hustle to make sure I'll have enough and be secured.
**What if I'll not love again?** Is it even possible? I mean is it possible not to love? Well, there's a different kind of love. But let's try to focus on the romantic love. Is it really possible to be numb and not feel love anything. Maybe yes. Maybe no. But sometimes, even after getting hurt we tend to still love the person who hurt us. Why is that? Is it because the person who hurt us, is the same person that can make us happy? I don't know.
**And what if I am not writing this one?** For sure I'll be scrolling on TikTok, FaceBook, and IG right now. Which for some reason will actually just waste my time. Lol! But you know, sometimes I just love wasting my time. Haha.
*Anyway, with all the what if's we have I guess it is normal because we have things in mind that we really wanted to happen for some reason, the universe didn't want or didn't agree with that. Maybe there's a lot more waiting for us that we need to see and discover. Maybe what we have now is already the first step to what's really is intended for us. We just need to make the best out of it and be happy.*

And I have that someone now.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
When your **"sana kung pwede na, pwede pa."** turns to **"kahit pwede na, ayoko na."**
It was the most satisfying line and response I said to someone who tried to get me back. It was the first few months of last year when an ex-boyfriend way back college asked me again for a comeback after dumping me because he can't do his work as a teacher while having in a relationship with me. And that he can't continue to be in a long distance relationship. I could have understand his choice and support him to his decision as it is for his own good and his future as he is as well the butter and bread of his family only if he told me that thing and let me understand how things will go. But no. He didn't.
He disappeared like a bubble. But I stayed. I understand that maybe he is really busy as being a teacher is not that easy. But a simple *"good morning"* and *"goodnight"*? That was supposed to be enough. Bare minimum.
I tried to ask what happened. Everyday. And I even stopped after a week of asking with no answer because maybe he's already annoyed and is going through with something I shouldn't know. I understand him. I tried. But just understanding him will never be enough. We are in a relationship so I should know what is happening for me to know and do the right thing. But nothing. No message. No answer. He never let me understand.
Then one day, I'll just receive a message from her closest cousin that he is ending our relationship. How was that? What do you think I should feel?
I didn't get angry. I was hurt. I was in pain. I tried to ask him why. I tried to ask him not to. I tried to get him back. I begged. For long. For too long that I even left him the message, ***"Sana kung pwede na, pwede pa."***
Then we really ended the relationship.
But I still waited. I still tried to contact him. I still begged. That I am even willing to go to where he is staying just for us not to have a long distance relationship. But he declined. He didn't want me back. He seems to be so done with me.
I understand that he was adjusting to the new environment as it was far different from where he used to be. He knew no one. And I stayed for him on that. He chose to be alone. We supposed to stay with each other in difficult times and happy times. But it was not.
I stopped. As I get tired. Who would not? Begging day by day. Being rejected day by day. Who would not get tired with that?
But I tried again. Because I really loved him. And get rejected for a million times.
Until I realized, I am losing myself because of him. I am losing myself just to get him back. I am losing myself because of loving him. And how can I even love him more if it seems that I cannot even love myself first.
I felt pity on myself. That's when I told myself, **"Kawawa ka naman. Hinahabol mo yung taong pilit na tumatakbo papalayo sayo."**
And I moved in a different direction. Being rejected means being redirected. I tried to composed myself back. I carved on my mind, love is not always the option. Doesn't mean you love him, you'll sacrifice yourself. I've done enough. And I guess, its time to stop.
I tried my very best to be happy again. To be happy without depending on someone. To be happy because of myself only. To be happy because I chose to be happy.
And when I'm already happy, he reached me out. Asking me to comeback. Telling me that **pwede na, kung pwede pa ba?** And I just said, **kahit pwede na, ayoko na. And I just hope him of the best thing in life.**
*Sometimes people only wants to stay with you when they already build the dream they wanted, when they already established what they have envisioned. You, trying to help them out and staying on their side seems to be a no help and just a hindrance that they just took you out of the picture in a snap. And you'll be left behind in pain, getting hurt, and asking yourself what's wrong, and asking yourself your worth.*
*Then they'll be back when they're already happy after leaving you in that state.*
*It is painful to get dumped. But it is more painful to lose yourself just for someone who doesn't even see your worth. Its okay to cry and cry. Just do not keep on crying. Stand tall and move on.*
*In no time, in the most unexpected time, you'll get to meet someone that will let you feel you are worth it.*
***And I have that someone now.***

Breakfast. Coffee Jelly. And Mango.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Already have my five hours sleep earlier, finished my dinner, and took a bath. I'm just waiting for my hair to dry out so that I can get back to sleep as I still have my last duty later. ***Yay! Rest day is coming.***
And while waiting, I realized I haven't uploaded any article yet for today. I have no time to even think of any topic, so I'll just share to you what I did for this whole day.
***Breakfast. Coffee Jelly. And Mango.***
I finished my shift earlier at 10:00 AM. And I am hungry already that I bought two eggs to cook. I just did a scrambled egg with tomatoes and onions, fried some hotdogs and ripe banana; *the saba one.*
And there, my breakfast was ready. And I'm full. ***Thank you Lord for the food! Blessed as always.***
Then after my late breakfast, I suddenly craved for ***coffee jelly*** that I asked my friend to buy me the ingredients needed. Good thing he agreed right away.
As usual, I followed the procedure on how to make it.
***Ingredients:***
***1 pack clear jelly powder***
***instant coffee of your choice***
***water***
***white sugar (to sweetened)***
***condensed milk***
***all purpose cream***
I just followed the usual procedure. *Mix the jelly powder, coffee, and sugar into the water until dissolved and bring it to boil. Once boiled, pour it in any container. Let it cool and set aside. Once cooled down, slice it vertically and horizontally to form cubes. Combine the cream and condensed and add the jellies. Then, you'll have your coffee jelly. Put in the freezer enjoy it when cold.*
I haven't eaten it yet. Maybe tomorrow as I prefer it colder and ice cream like texture. Is that right?
And while waiting actually as well for the jelly to cool down, I ordered some ***mango*** as I am craving for it as well. Geez! There's a lot of cravings happening.
I ordered four, and enjoyed the sweetness of it. I just love mangoes so much. It has been my favourite fruit.
Then after all these things happened earlier, I just rest for a while while watching Business Proposal - an ongoing KDrama. The con of watching an ongoing movie is that you need to wait for a week for a new episode. But its fine, seems that the new episodes are worth the wait.
Anyway, that's how my day went earlier. I'll be off to my dreamland now. Goodnight and happy reading!

My so called love at first meet?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*Right after we first met,*
*An unknown feeling was felt.*
*Mainly it was nothing,*
*Incredibly it became everything.*
*Like? Love? It could be the possible thing.*
*Meanly confessed the feeling that I felt,*
*At the thought it could be accepted.*
*Liking you was never my intention,*
*But I just felt it everytime I see you in action.*
*Another day passed by this feeling gets deeper,*
*Suddenly I saw you already happy with a lover.*
I am actually thinking of what to write today to patch up the missing article last day when I remembered about this short poem. I am actually laughing right now with a thought of how I was in loved with this person before. Wait, was it even love? It was 2017, and we're 2022 now. Which means, I was only 19 years old by then. Lol! How on Earth I was able to write this poem.
Just a back story, it was actually a Youth Day when I met this person. He's from different town, but when we were grouped, we became group mate. It was our first time meeting each other and honestly we became close and comfortable. Then just what's usual, we chatted and chatted and chatted. And the next thing happened, I was the ghosted!
I was like so that's it? That's how it will end? Then the next thing I know, he's already in a relationship with someone.
Then I concluded that was really it.
And just focused on my studies since I was fourth year college back then and research studies should be a top priority for me to graduate.
Then, that's it. My so called, love at first sight? Lol!

It was last February 23, 2022 when BIGHIT Music posted a notification on Weverse App about the upcoming concert of BTS in Las Vegas. It will be the **Permission To Dance On Stage: Las Vegas.**
It will be a four day concert that will be held on Las Vegas. And as I checked the Ticketmaster, the ticket will be about $345 which made me check my account balance to see if I have enough. And thankfully, there is.
The ticket selling was last March 3, 2022 and it will be at exactly 6:00 AM in the morning. So I made sure to sleep earlier than ever so that I can catch up on time. I woke up at around 3:00 because of my excitement. Took my bath even if it is too cold to make sure I'll be fully awake, have my coffee and breakfast.
And when the clock ticked at 6:00 AM, I was so happy to see that I am already on the queue. But guess what, I was the 2034th person waiting, hoping to get a ticket. The progress was fast. In just about 25 minutes, I am already on 1998th, then down to 1000th, and when it was on 700th, I am already nervous and afraid I might not get a ticket.
And in 3,2,1 ..... I'm finally in on the Ticketmaster. Then there's me looking for the best seat. My hands were shaking crazily that I almost lost my concentration. Please, if this is for me then it will be.
Finally, I decided on what seat I will be and process the payment when the site stopped.
Loading.
Loading.
Loading.
I almost lose my hope to see the boys.
I almost lost it, when a 'ting' sound rang notifying me that I got the ticket successfully.
I was like, OMGGGGGGG! Finally. Finally, I'll be on BTS Concert and I'll see them in person. I am so excited. I do not know what to feel. I am so happy. OMG! I can't believe it.
For now, I just need to prepare the things I need. My ARMY Bomb(Lightstick), my outfit, my extra money, flight going to Vegas, and everything. I can't wait. It was the best thing happened to me in this year.
**See you BTS! Soonest.**
And I took a little rest on my couch when my friend slapped me on my face as I am smiling wide.
***"What's wrong with you? Are you daydreaming?"***
And I laughed out loud!
***"Yes. I am. I am daydreaming getting a ticket for BTS Concert in Vegas. How I wish I can really go there for real."***
And there you go! It's all in my mind. Just imagine? $345? Where on Earth I can get that money? That's more than 15,000 on Philippine Peso. I do not even have a half of it. I do not even have a passport and a visa.
But maybe soonest? Maybe it will be real soonest. ***Fingers crossed! Manifesting. I'm gonna see them for real.***

I have two pillows and a stuff toy.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Missed an article again yesterday and here I am trying to patch up that day. I wasn't able to upload one last night as I am super sleepy. My body clock is still adjusting with my new work schedule. Today's its second day and I am still sleepy. Well, I have no choice but to get to work or else? *Kitkit kuko! Lol. Its just an expression in Bisaya if we are already running out of budget.*
Anyway, to make sure I have an article for yesterday, I'll upload two articles today. One for this morning, and one later before getting on bed. And since I have no time to think that much of a topic to write, since I am working right now and just trying to multi task, I'll just answer the same questions @Yen has on her previous article. You can read it here. https://read.cash/@Yen/cleaning-the-house-is-not-my-forte-833c2926
**If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?**
It will be with cooking for sure. As I always share here, I am not good in the kitchen, but I do love cooking. So maybe I need someone to help me out with the basic, then to more complicates recipes, up until I can do it without a help or without watching tutorials from YouTube.
@dziefem , since you are a cookerist in your home, would you help? Haha.
Since I am good in cleaning, I really wanted to master cooking too. Package.
**Have you ever had a nickname? What is it?**
I had. A lot of nicknames were create and given to me, but "Pinang" is the one that still used up until now. I shared it already here and I made an article also about Why Pinang? is my nickname. It is actually created by our SSG Advisor. I never thought it will be used until now. But I just love being called Pinang, instead of my real name with a wrong pronounciation. https://read.cash/@MissJo/why-pinang-1c80b08c
**How would your friends describe you?**
I am not sure about it. I haven't asked them this question too. But maybe, one of them can describe as a killjoy just because I do not agree with what she wanted to do or like, or another friend can say I am a clean person, or a loud one, or a spender. I don't really know. Maybe, I'll ask them now.
**Where do you see yourself in five years?**
Can we make it in the next 6 or 7 years? I can't really see myself in the next 5 years yet. Because I will need to prioritize my younger brother's schooling first. Since the pandemic seems to decrease now, face to face classes are slowly getting implemented. And my brother decided to go to college by then. His course may take 5 years and I need to double my hustle to provide him with it. But ofcourse, in that 5 years I still have a lot of plan and dreams I wanted to achieve.
**How many pillows do you sleep with?**
I have two pillows and two stuff toys. But right now I only have two pillows in bed since I haven't wash the stuff toys. I wanted to have more pillows because more pillows, more chances of getting a good sleep. I can't sleep without hugging a pillow for real.

Have you tried these too?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*How are you there my dear friends? Are you doing well? Do you have a sunny weather or the other way around? Here in our place it is currently raining. Like it's been days already. And as I checked my social media, I just read that there's a Low Pressure Area in Visayas and Mindanao. Hopefully, it will not turn into a typhoon as it will affect people again. Let's pray for that.*
Anyway, I'll be sleeping early today. I am planning to sleep by 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM as later on my new schedule will start at 2:00 AM. So I need to make sure I have enough energy to finish an 8 hours shift.
And while waiting for my sleeping time, I decided to write an article about my **best childhood memories.** It may not be the best for others, but I find it memorable and worth to remember.
**Waving at the airplane in the sky.** As innocent child as I am before, everytime I see planes in the sky, I always waved at it and even shout, *"Pasakya ko." "Hooooy! Kakita mo nako diri?" (Let me ride on your plane. Hey! Do you see me here?)* I don't know, I know I do not meant it before but I am still hoping before that they can really here and see me and wave back at me. That even sometimes, if I can see that we are running out of foods, I am even asking them from above to throw me some cash. Lol!
**Watching construction workers mix cement.** I haven't just watched them do it, but I really tried to do the work. Before, my father knows how to build houses and everytime we have a neighbor that will ask him to build one, I am really going there with him to watch him do it. I actually love how he mix and mix and mix the cement and sand, and create a circle on the center and pour some water and mix them altogether and that's my favourite part. And
**Singing in front of the electric fan.** I am a singer from the beginning. *Of course, when I am alone only and when I am at the CR.* But before, I used to sing infront of our electric fan. Like you know, I love how my voice will turn out as it is. But you know, my mom end up scolding me as the electric fan is already dusty and I still open my mouth infront of it.
**Opening and closing the refrigerator to see how the light goes off.** This is one of the best and I guess I already shared it here before. And I know for sure you've tried and did the same thing. And for sure you were scolded as well by your mom as according to them opening and closing the ref again and again will increase the electricity bill.
**Putting arms inside the shirt and tell people you lost your arms.** This one's also what I have been doing before. Like I do it everytime I feel cold but I ended up going to my cousins and friends that I lost my arms. And as innocent as we are, they'll believe at first and we will just laugh and the next thing happens, we are doing the same thing and we let our parents see it and they just laugh at us as well.
*You know, it is just so heartwarming to remember these simple things that once made us happy and contented on how our life was before. I miss those old gold times. I miss being a child. I miss the feeling of just crying because our parents scold us, or because of our wounds due to a whole day playing. I miss the feeling.*
***How about you? Have you tried these too?***
***That's all for today beautiful people. If you have any thoughts about this, feel free to leave it in the comment section below. Let's interact. Stay safe always! Xoxo ✨☺️***

Beachin' out is one.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Two hours before my shift earlier ended, a friend told me that she wanted to destress from everything, like unwind, just enjoy, and think of nothing. At least one day. Away from the city. Away from the chaos. Which I totally agreed as I wanted the same. I wanted to give my mind and body a break it deserve. And that's when we decided to plan a beach getaway. ***Hopefully it will come true. Fingers crossed!***
So with that, I browsed right away the internet to check all the nice and affordable one we can visit a week from now.
** *That's the list of beaches we inquired earlier and we decided to have Basdaku Moalboal Beach and we will be staying at Marben's Cottages. Two of our friends agreed with the plan and we are just waiting for the other four to say yes so that we can book the beach and the accommodation.*
Anyway, that plan is really not the main topic for today. It is actually how I cope up with stress and the things I do to get away with it. I got this idea after reading @Zhyne06 's article about how she is coping with stress. And hopefully her ways really make her out from it. Who would like stress anyway? No one ofcourse!
For some reasons, we really are not exempted with having stress. There's a lot of stressor out there that makes us feel that way. Sometimes, stress turns us to be unproductive and do nothing. And sometimes it is the other way around. And personally, I have my own ways too.
Everytime I feel really burnt out, I always wanted to do some me time outside, buy the things I want, and eat the foods I love. But I can't do that all the time because it will cost a lot. Therefore, I always have alternatives to destress.
**Do all the cleaning/cooking.** When I am stressed, I am really into cleaning. I will move out from bed, fix it, and do some cleaning right away. I'll do the dishes if ever there's any. Re arrange and clean up our mini pantry. Mop our floor. And re arrange the things I have in my room. Sometimes, as long as I have enough money to buy ingredients I tend to cook everything I have in mind. You know, I always find peace in cleaning and cooking. And after that, I'll be fine.
**Watch BTS music videos and documentaries.** I already shared it here with you that BTS is one of my safe place. I do not know why but everytime I watch their old and new videos, I always find myself smiling and feel that everything is okay. That for sometime I am fine. Listening to their songs is one as well. If I wanted to relax, I always play my favourite BTS song which is the Magic Shop. And my feelings will feel light. And I am okay.
**Staying alone at my room.** Is it only me or you feel the same? Before I always thought that being alone is lonely. But now, for me being alone is like magic. I mean the peace it gives right? I just love it. When I am alone I tend to think about the things I wanted and I have a chance to talk to myself. You know some sort of meditation. And truly it relaxes me.
***What about you? What makes you out of stress?***

I thought I am 3.3 safe!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
I posted on Noise Cash yesterday that I'll be sleeping right after my shift at 1:00 PM. But of course, I wasn't able to sleep right away even if I am having a headache again. I am so bored not to do anything so I decided to open my phone and clear the red notification bell both here and in Noise Cash. Which I successfully did.
And there I decided to sleep. I set an alarm at 8:00 PM as I am planning to render preshift overtime but my sleepy body didn't cooperate. So I just slept, and slept, and slept for more than nine hours, and tadaaaaa I wasn't able to write an article last night. That is why I am writing this as early as now as I will write another article later to make up on my absence here.
I will be sharing to you another Shopee budol which I really thought I will not be budoled again. I didn't placed an order on 3.3 which I thought a success, but h3ck! I made it on the next day. Lol!
So here's my Shopee Finds:
Someone's not eating on time during lunch break and after the whole shift. That is why I decided to send her biscuits, two of her favourite biscuits. So while waiting for their food to be cooked, at least she has something to eat first. You know, nakakahilo kaya pag gutom!
Since I have a very think calluses on my feet, I decided to order this Lanbena Foot Peel Mask l. I just saw this on TikTok and it seems to be effective. It will just take about 3 to 5 days to have the complete peeling of the skin and we'll see if it is really effective. You know, I wanted to try the foot scrub on salon buy it's just too expensive. So it's a no no na agad!
And tadaaaaa! Another set of clothes. Shorts and tops. Most of what I ordered were just pambahay clothes. Like you know, I am just staying and working at home so there's no need for me to dress well. I just need shorts and basic tops. But as you can see, I ordered some tops that can be used outside because who knows we'll be asked to get back on site, at least I have new clothes to wear. But hopefully not now. I do not want to be back on site. Fingers crossed!
And as what you can see, I ordered three packs of facemask. Since facemasks is one of our needs today, I make sure that I will not run out stocks. So everytime I order online, I make sure to check if they have also facemasks available.
So there, that's what I have for my after 3.3 budol. Gosh! I really thought I'll be safe on this sale. But anyway, its there already so be it.

Fried Chick'Porado! 🤤
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Did I already shared here that my work schedule will be changed next week? If not, yes you heard it right. Last day, I heard from my supervisor that the company is making changes on our work patterns. Hearing such news urge me to check right away my verint schedule, and tadaaaa! It did changed.
*** The time above is in eastern time since our main office is located at Miami, Florida.*
From my original work pattern which is 9 hours a day, 3:00 AM to 12:00 PM Philippine Time, it was changed to 8 hours a day, 1:00 AM to 9:00 AM Philippine Time. If you'll ask me if I am okay with the changes, I'll definitely say yes. Why? It is because the staff hours has changed to 8 hours a day only, meaning I have an additional 1 hour free time, I can now render post shift overtime, and the night differential will increase that will affect my salary in a positive way. Maybe I'll get to have a difficulty in my sleeping pattern, but for sure my body will adjust in no time.
And by the way, have you taken your dinner yet? Because I have mine done. I shared it on Noise Cash as well. I have champorado and fried chicken for my dinner. I've been craving these foods the other day and thankfully I have it now. It is actually supposed to be dried fish, but I forgot to buy it so I just used what's available in the kitchen. I just love the combination of sweet and salty food.
And that's where I got my title for today's article, Fried Chick'Porado. What do you think could be a better title using this food combo?
And since we're eating, I let Kali, our kitten eat as well. And after she eat, look where she is now.
That's her in top of my UPS, cleaning her feet after having her dinner. She loves staying on that tool. She loves sleeping and spending her time there. Maybe because it is hot? I do not know, but I just let her stay there as long as she will not play with my feet since the UPS is placed under my table. I actually love having Kali in the house as it felt we have a baby and that the house is not boring, but most of the times I get annoyed since she kept on playing with me while working. She's naughty but I still love her.
And I just wanna share to you all, specially those who are burnt out with things, those who are confused what to do with life, those who are pressured, and those who are tired; please take some time to unwind and rest.
It is easier said than done, but as much as possible do not get too drown on these things. As what you can see on the image above, the more you allow yourself to be beaten by these stressor, the more you'll tear yourself into pieces and a possibility of getting it in one piece will be difficult. Take one step at a time. Manage your time. Create plans. If feeling tired, pause and breathe, then continue. Slow progress is better than no progress at all because you pushed yourself to limit. Take good care of your physical and mental health. Having both of it healthy will bring you to places you wanted to be.

I'm sleepy, so just write.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
I'm sleepy, yes. But my mind is still wandering and thinking a lot of things I should not be thinking. So I ended up writing instead not to waste this hour. It will be just a random one, as I wanted not to skip a day here as well.
Anyway, how was your day so far? I started my day earlier actually in a good mood, excited to start my shift with a coffee, not until at around 8 AM one of my tools suddenly stopped working. I thought we are having a system downtime, but it we are not as it is only me who's the issue. I just tried to do the basic troubleshooting hoping it will get to work again. But no luck! It didn't.
It took me more than one hour waiting for my tools to get back to work. And when it seems to be working, I tried to start working again. But when I logged back in, there's no chat coming in. It actually should not be that way, since everyday we have a lot of customers waiting on the queue that sometimes, it will even reach about 400 customers waiting to be assisted. Since I have no choice, I contacted our IT, which is a friend to assist me with my concern. With waiting him in troubleshoot my tools, I took the time to cook saging na saba for our breakfast. One of my boardmate cooked adobong manok as well. And since the troubleshooting is not yet done, I just ate my breakfast.
It took our IT about 30 minutes to finish the issue, and when done, I get back to work right away.
After shift, I felt too sleepy that I slept right away. And woke up around 5 in the afternoon. That means, I slept around 4 hours. And when I woke up, I ate the remaining saging and banana with a cold water.
Then, decided to cook rice for dinner and took my bath. I am planning to have an overtime tonight but I don't know why I felt too sleepy and tired even after having a four hours sleep earlier. Hay! My lazy body again. Anyway, I'll not just force to do it as it may affect my performance.
While writing this, I am really sleepy and after I upload this, I'll just have my milk and off to sleep.
Thank you for reading until here. Goodnight!

In total, I successfully uploaded 20 articles. I am that too close in completing the 28 days. I do not know the exact reason. But for sure it is either I run out of topic, or I just got eaten by my laziness again.
And with that 20 articles, I got to earn a total of $162.86. But some of it where used already for paying some bills and in processing my id's the other day. Right now, I only have $101 in my wallet. I am actually a bit sad today as Rusty haven't visited me yet. But I trust in him though! Maybe he's on vacation for a while. So I'll just keep reading and interacting here, and ofcourse upload articles. And let's try to be good for this month. Hello, March! Let's work hard.
Anyway, here's some of my ganaps in February! A February Photo Dump.
Coffee is lifer! This was the time when we went out to hear some rants and drama from our boy friend at work. He actually treated us with coffee.
A samgy treat from Chenny. The one with black bag and the other girl is her sister, Cindy, and that's me on brown. Cindy haven't tried samgy yet so we brought him here to atleast experienced it.
And that's us during our 10th cut off pay day. We're just waiting for our food from Tokyo Tokyo. This was the time as well that we feel blessed as we were able to help tatay get his lunch. I am wondering how is tatay doing now?
Of course, this should be included in my February dump. I felt so special that day. Char! *Tag ko na ba siya? Nandito din siya eh. Lol! Mag cocomment yun, check niyo nalang. Haha.*
And the last one, with my very loud friend. I actually forgot what's the reason why we went out this day. @BreadChamp , can you remind me? Lol!

Miss Jo: Cookerist Era.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
I find my title so funny. Like for real? As if I already cooked a lot of dish, where in fact I am really bad in the kitchen. I am really a no nothing about cooking. Lol!
But you know, I am really trying to learn. I wanted to eat foods that is home cook more than the one we bought we outside.
I actually tried cooking Mojos, which was an epic fail, I shared it here already. A macaroni soup, which was a success as my roommates liked it. I cooked as well fried chicken using my own made flavor mix. And I am wanting to learn more complicated dish as a challenge for me.
Everytime I cook, I always make sure to prepare all the necessary ingredients, the utensils I'll be needing and just anything. I wanted to make sure that before I cook, the environment is clean. Food is what we're talking about, so it should be clean. Excuse me! I'm talking like a pro. Lol!
Then I start the cooking!
And today, I cooked Pork Adobo. You know, it actually should be Kwek-Kwek. But there's no quail eggs available in the market so I tried to think of another thing. Doing munchkin was the second option, but to no avail of an Ace biscuit, I wasn't able to make it.
I supposed to just do nothing anymore, but my cookerist side told me not to. So I decided to why not cook Pork Adobo instead so that we'll have a viand for dinner?
And Pork Adobo won!
That's the ingredients I used to cook Pork Adobo.
Pork
Minced Garlic
Sliced Onion
Pepper
Salt/ Magic Sarap
Oil
Soy Sauce
Vinegar
Bay leaves
Some tend to put sugar on their adobo, but I chose not to. I just saute the garlic and onion for a minute, the followed the pork for about three minutes. After that, I just added water and let it boil to make the pork tender. I thought cooking adobo will only take a few minutes. But I am dvmb enough to think that way knowing it needs to be tender. So I just waited for how many minutes.
While waiting for the water I added to boil, we run out of butane gas. What a timing!
So I asked my roommate buy one for me. Good thing, he agreed.
When the water I added evaporated and when the meat was fine, I added right away the soy sauce, vinegar, and the bay leaves. Added the pepper and salt to taste. And just let it simmer.
When almost done, I added the boiled eggs as well that I cooked together with our rice. I actually almost forgot about it. I decided to put some eggs just for it look good. What a reason! Haha.
And that's the finish product! It is supposed to be not that dry since I prefer it the other way, but I forgot to turn off the stove right away that it turned that way. Anyway, for me it tastes good still. Another successful cooking show! I just hope my roommates will like it. Fingers crossed!
Well, that's it. That's how I cooked my Pork Adobo. And I welcome you to Miss Jo's Cookerist Era! Hahaha.

Annoying but productive. Whew!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Yesterday's such a busy day for me. The rain was pouring heavily that I thought of not doing what I planned to do anymore.
Yesterday's agenda was to apply for a Postal ID, Pag Ibig Loyalty Card, and NBI Clearance Renewal. But before I get to do the list, I rendered a work on day off first for at least three hours and when done, I prepared myself right away for my plans.
It was still raining but I still went out as I do not want to delay those plans anymore.
I arrived at the venue at around 10:00 AM, and good thing the line was not that long that I was asissted right away.
It supposed to only took me about 20 minutes, but the camera for taking pictures was not working that I have to wait for another minutes. The personnel in charged needs to call another person to fix the issue, so I waited there again and took me about one hour in total. I paid for 504 pesos, and they told me that the ID will be available in two months. So I went out of the venue and proceed to the next agenda.
Before that, I took a light snack for a while since I felt a little hungry. I just ate a waffle and drink lemonade.
This should not be the food stall I am planning to go, but my favourite waffle run out of stock, so I have no choice but to have these. I honestly did not like the taste, so its 6/10 for me.
Since my second agenda is to get a Pag Ibig Loyalty Card, I went right away to the other venue, it was one ride from the place I came on first. And when I get there, the line was so long that I decided to get to NBI Clearance Renewal instead. It was raining hard still and I need to transfer rides from one jeep to another. The hassle! But I have no choice. So go on.
When I get to the venue for my second agenda, I was shocked that the line was too long as well.
It used to be not that long that is why I was shocked. I actually thought of not continuing this one but I remembered that I already paid for the fee and my payment may be forfeited. So I fall in line instead.
And here's the annoying part.
Before I fall in line, I have this person beside me holding a paper with the reference number for the appointment that they just got when they paid for walk in. Since I paid already online, I reached out one of the officer there to asked if I need to write down my reference number too just like the other even if I have paid online, and he said no need as according to him I can just show my phone with the reference number to the officer that will assist. And I agreed. Then when it was my turn, I handed over my phone to the officer with the reference number so that she can check it on file. And you know what happened? She asked this, "What do you want me to do with your phone? Are you giving that to me? Write it down!" In a rude tone with her raised eyebrow. And I was too stunned to speak. Yes! I mean, I was in the line for almost two hours patiently waiting for my turn, haven't eaten my lunch yet, to just be treated that way? Well, h3ll no! I understand that her work is tiring as well, but no she's paid for what she's doing and she should be committed on that one. She should act nicely as she's meeting a lot of people. It is even my fault to not write down my number? I was told it is okay not to. And that other officer is actually working beside her. I am annoyed. More than annoyed! Good for her, I still have my patience in my body that I still act professional in front of her. How I wish I can even slap her face! Professional person working unprofessionally! The audacity!
And since I was too annoyed! I decided to just eat my lunch to hopefully lessen my annoyance.
I was craving for coffee that time, but no coffee shop present that I decided to have Jollibee instead. It was good still.
Then just went straight to MR. DIY store to buy some stuff. I just bought something for our kitten Kali, small knife, set of spoon and fork, and a mug for my coffee.
And I went straight home. The rain is still pouring! Non stop.
That's how my day yesterday went. Annoying but productive!

Anyway, that's it.
***Hello beautiful people!***

*Have you watched the vlog of Ms. Heart Evangelista on YouTube a month ago? If so, you for sure got a lot of learnings from them especially from Chiz. This article has been on my drafts for month as well but it feels like I cannot put my thoughts into words yet that I wrote another articles instead.*
*Anyway, this episode on their vlog;* ***Adulting with Chiz Episode 5: On Money, Prenups, Age Gaps, and Toxic Family Members*** *actually thought me a lot. Not that a lot, but I gathered some key points that really made me think of things.*
**The New Normal is already this.** This. I never thought that I'll be able to experience this pandemic thing, the lockdowns, quarantines, and all when the Covid 19 affected the whole world. Changes are everywhere from time to time. Restrictions every now and then. Rules and regulations all over. Indeed, this is the new normal. But you know what? I am still hoping and praying that this new normal is what our next generation would experience. I wanted to them to experience freedom. No worries about viruses and peace.
**He who has little is not poor. But he who desires much.** It is never wrong to dream high. It is never wrong to aim for something big. What is wrong is aiming and dreaming too high and doing it in not acceptable way is what make it wrong. Our dreams do not turn into reality in a snap of a finger, in a blink of an eye. Oh how I wish it is! It is a result of blood, sweat, and tears. But the little things we have right now, is already our way to something bigger that is coming. We just need to take use of it and make it as a stepping stone for us to reach the dream we've been dreaming off.
**Then control your expenses so that you don't have to be a slave on your own.** I was a slave. Of my own expenses. Before. The first time I got the first salary on my hand feels like I am a millionaire, that I chose to spend here, spend there, spend more. Without thinking what comes next. And I saw it few days after. It was difficult. Having no penny at all because of how I wasn't able to control myself. I became a slave of my own expenses. I spend more than what I earned. That was the most wrong thing I did. Until, I learned about the delayed gratification. That you do not need to have right away the things you wanted specially when it is really not needed right at the moment. You deserve to spoil yourself with things, but make sure to think that when you spend, there is something still left for you. Save more and when there's enough, then go for it.
**The thing is, you have to choose your battles.** You can't argue all the time, because fighting is exhausting. It is indeed. Sometimes, our silence is what makes us the winner. Sometimes, our silence is what will make us win. Sometimes, our silence is what will bring us peace. And I'll choose to have peace over everything.
**Only that most people are really judgemental even if they do not know the other person.** That is how society works. I mean, you cannot pleased anybody. You do good things, what will they see is still that one mistake you made from the past. They'll judge you in every way they wanted possible. And you, if you know you've done nothing wrong and corrected the mistake you've once made, move forward. Don't even take a single look at them. Your life, your business. And them talking behind your back, only means they're behind you. So you win.
**You can always love the best way you know how.** But do not get lost because you love someone. When you love, always think about yourself too. Leave something for you. It is not wrong to love yourself too.
*And you know what guys, just a fun fact;* I thought **Pre Nuptials** are just for pictures, for memories, and that's it. Not knowing it is actually like a decision whether the both parties will share what they have, like each others properties will become the property of the husband or wife when married or it will just remain as how it used to be.
I'm so dvmb! Well, anyway that's it.

Pahinga. Kapayapaan. Yakap.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**Pahinga. Kapayapaan. Yakap.**
Iba't ibang kapaguran ang nararamdaman natin sa mundong iba't iba ang pagsubok na ibinibigay. Mga pagsubok, mga karanasan, mga pangyayari minsan na din nating naisip na mangyayari pala talaga. Kasi, hindi ito gaya ng mundo'ng nahulma natin sa ating isipan. Ibang iba. Malayo.
Yung dapat payapa, masaya, maganda? Kabaliktaran. Kabaliktaran ng kung ano man ang nangyayari ngayon.
Nakakapagod!
Pero may mga pagod na iba iba ang kailangan para mawala ito.
**Pagod na nangangailangan ng pahinga.** Ito yung pagod na sa pisikal mo nararamdaman. Yung sobrang tadtad ka na sa trabaho na nakakalimutan mo ng kumain, magpahinga, at matulog. Yung pagod ka na, pero kailangan mong kumayod. Kailangan mong kumayod hindi para sayo, kundi sa mas importanteng bagay sa paligid mo. Sandali! Hindi ka ba importante? Importante ka. Isipin ko ang katawan mo. Pano ka gagawa ng bagay para sa iba kung mismong sarili mo di mo kayang alagaan? Magpahinga ka! Kailangan mo yan.
**Pagod na nangangailangan ng kapayapaan.** Ito yung pagod na kahit wala ka namang mabigat at mahirap na ginagawa ay pagod ka parin. Ito yung mahirap. Yung isip mo yung pagod. Yung puso mo yung ayaw na. Pero yung katawan mo gustong magpatuloy. Marami kang gustong gawin pero di mo alam kung san ka magsisimula. Magulo. Nakakalito. Kaya ang sagot? Kapayapaan. Kailangan mo ng pahinga mula sa magulong mundo. Kailangan mo ng pahinga mula sa mga bagay na nagpapalito sayo. Hayaan mo ang isip mo na pag isip para sa sarili niya, wag mong pilitin ang hindi kaya. Ipahinga mo. Onti onti, masasanay ka rin. Onti onti malalaman mo kung san at paano ka magsisimula ulit.
**Pagod na nangangailangan ng yakap.** Mula sa nakakapagod na mundo. Mula sa nakakalitong isip. Isang yakap. Kailangan mo ng isang mahigpit na yakap. Hindi kailangan na mula sa kasintahan, kundi sa mga taong malapit sayo. Yakap galing sa mga taong naniniwala sayo. Yakap galing sa mga taong nandiyan simula sa umpisa. Yakap mula sa mga taong mahal mo. Hindi nila kailangan na magsalita. Hindi nila kailangan na may sabihin. Presensya lang nila, sapat na. Yung alam mong andyan sila para sumuporta sayo. Yung alam mong may uuwian ka. Yung alam mong may mayayakap ka kapag nakakapagod na.

Can I make it?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Is it just me? Or you do the same? Like you save things from social media or from anywhere about doing a healthy lifestyle. Like, you will use them as your guide to start working out, have a toned body, have the set of food to eat that is good for your health. And everything that is actually really the ideal way of living. Because if you'll ask me, I will say yes. I have a lot of things saved on my notes, a lot of screenshots, and a lot of video clips.
But you know what, I haven't started any yet. I mean, self. Hello? When you're gonna start?
I actually do such thing before. That was when the lockdown started. But I stopped as it actually makes me tired preparing all things and all. That all I wanted to do is lie down on my bed and do nothing. Which doesn't help me at all.
And just now, while doing a preshift overtime at work, I realized why not do it for real this time? Put the reason at mind and heart why you are doing this, and let's see the result in a month.
So here's the list of things I wanted to do day by day. I want to make the every day I have well spent and productive.
**Make sure to eat dinner and drink milk two hours before bed time.** It is my fault actually for not eating dinner almost everyday. I do not know but I cannot get to sleep right away if I am full every night and that I always have bad dreams too. But you know, it just made me sick as in the morning I'll get too much hungry and there I'll have a head ache.
**Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.** This. I really have a difficulty doing this one. I used to actually drink water the first thing in the morning and before bed, but I do not know it just changed a lot. And sometimes, I do not even drink water after eating. Like, this is so wrong. And I need to discipline myself for this.
**No phones early in the morning.** I am really having a difficulty not doing this. Like, the reason I can wake up is because of the alarm. And instead of getting up and do stretching early in the morning, what I do is scroll and scroll and scroll and ended up do nothing for the whole day. Like I know it is very unhealthy to do so. So I wanted to practice myself not doing it anymore.
**Do some stretching and exercise.** As what I mentioned above, the first thing I should do in the morning is stretching. And hopefully I can make it this time. And I wanted to do some planking and squats at least. One step at a time.
**That's it. Do you think I can make it?**
