Different Photos by my Own Photography ***21st Article*** ***February 1, 2022 - Tuesday*** A blessed day to all of you my dearest friends and fellow's π Let's start the day with thanksgiving to God for the new gift of life. Not just today but in every second of our lives. The content that I will write for today is about the different photos I captured from my phone. I know this isn't the very best among others photography, but I'm proud of it. Since I started posting different content in noise.cash, I am always amazed by those photographers who took photos with a good and unique quality. Since then, I have had the courage to take photos from different angles and views. Such as mountains, rivers, flowers, animals, and plants from everywhere I go. For instance, I also captured different pictures of a person. ***P.S: I am not a professional photographer. Hence I want to share my little skills about my own photography and please comment down below for some tips and advice for your knowledge and skills about photography. All sited below is just my own opinion.*** **Revealing my photography...** 1. The flowers These are old photos in my gallery but until now I love looking for them one by one. They are beautiful and lovely flowers that usually we always see in the backyard or anywhere else. Actually, I prefer to take photos of them when the sunlight is bright. It's because the flowers will be more colorful and creative. I want to focus the camera on the flower so that the background will be blurred. All of these flowers have been captured with patience because they need timing and some sort of effort. They look common but they are beautiful in my eyes. Did you agree with that? Haha just kidding π **2. The mountains, clouds, trees and sunset** Some of these photos were taken yesterday and for me it's quite amazing and beautiful. Last year and even this year, I guess traveling is my new journey. As you know, we live in Bukidnon, the place where large mountains are seen everywhere. Big trees and deep rivers are here. It was then my hobby, taking photos and videos the moment I saw blue skies with those large mountains and trees. Even if my camera is not good with filters, I am still trying to get the best angle I can. So the combination of the clouds and mountain views will be great. Sometimes I used to zoom the camera but the result was not good. The best part of this photo that I like the most is the sunset. It's very precise and wonderful. 3. Land Snail and House Spider I know all of you are very familiar with these two creatures. The land snail is commonly found in cold areas and the spider is often seen in our house. When I see each of them I slowly take a photo because when they recognize something noisy the snail will hide in the shell, while the spider will run away faster. If you can see, the aspect of the subject is apparently not good and so clear. But thankfully I captured it properly without unnecessary movements from the subject. **4. Photoshoot of a Friend** Isn't she lovely? Well, for me my best friend is very gorgeous and beautiful. If you know her well, she's a very kind and supportive friend of mine. She asked me to take pictures of her. It happened before the wedding ceremony because that day she attended a wedding. She was made of honor at that time and because they said that my camera is good. So she wanted me to take photos of her as much as I could. After the photoshoot she was excited to choose the best photo to be posted as her Facebook profile picture HAHA! Some of her photo aren't nice and perfect but I took it from the bottom of my heart π ***I hope you like these photos of mine.*** **5. River and Water Falls** The photo was saved and taken last year in December and is still kept in my gallery. I still like the view, even though it's been a long time since I came back to that place. I didn't capture the waterfalls well because it's far and dangerous. So the view was blocked by the plants. The water is dirty because of a lot of garbage but the air is still refreshing. Before we went home I took these photos as documentation. **Every one of us loves taking pictures. Specifically for documentation or for our memories to be remembered for. Each of those photos has its purpose and worth meaning to be valued.** `"We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone"` If you notice my photos above, they are not as perfect as they are. But honestly, it was captured them by my own. I will be happy and blessed if you'd appreciate this content. **By the way thank you for sto**pping by and for reading my article βΊοΈ My deepest gratitude to my sponsors! **Like and Subscribe π©**

"Life must go On - The biggest Lesson" ***20th Article*** ***January 31, 2022 - Monday*** G oo d Day! Before this article started, I would like to grab this opportunity to thank my new sponsorship from @OfficialGamboaLikeUs it is my honor and gratitude that you've been one of my best sponsors. Godbless you more and more β€οΈ ***Moving on...*** While thinking about what topic I will write for today's article, this title comes up in my mind. I know all of us are very familiar with these words, but I want to share my learning and my own thoughts about this. This may be boring for you to read but thank you for being with me. My apologies for some of my grammar errors. If we talk about life, what comes to your mind first? Is it about living life to the fullest? Or about life being hard and lots of problems? Well, if you ask me I would say these words ***"Life must still be going on"*** Why? Because despite all hardships and failures I've been through, life continues fighting for me. I always plan to give up and run away from my problems. Telling all the people who have big expectations for me that ***"I can't do this anymore"***. Still life teaches me to be strong and courageous because it doesn't stop. It will just stop if you're not breathing, in short when we are finally dead and gone in this world. ***Life is not a matter of chances, it's a matter of choices we make*** Looking back from my past experiences in life, when I was being broken hearted. Every time I saw the man who hurt me, the pain I felt before was remembered. From that pain I decided to make a decision for myself and get over it. It's been a year since I forget and totally move on from that person. That was the choice I made for myself so that I could let go of the pain and struggles. Choosing the road to become happy is a way to overcome the past. So life is a matter of choice and decisions we must have to make. Even though it's hard, still we need to. God gave us ample chances and those chances we must decide to choose what's best and right things to do. Either we let go and move on or to stay from that pain. Bear in mind that life must go on and on. You may be in pain today and tomorrow but in the future you will rejoice from gladness because you survive. **I overcome it!** What does it mean I overcome? It's about the pain and struggles I've been fighting for. Even though it takes time to overcome those painful days I had, I still push myself because I know that everything happens for its reasons. As long as we believe in ourselves, we can overcome and conquer it all. Life goes on is the realization of my life and the biggest lesson learned happened to me. Feels like I am standing in front of the highest mountain but now I am on the top of that mountain. "I am weak and you are strong, we had different perspectives on life". "I easily cried and got hurt and you're the bravest one". "You are wise to solve your problems but I wasn't like you". "You can chin up high but I am shy". Those are the things I always compare myself to others. But I used them as my strength to overcome it all. It's a choice not a chance. Continue life despite of all failures Our life is still in process, every day and forever. We can say that I am strong today but we can't predict tomorrow. I can boost my self confidence at this moment, but suddenly I am becoming unconfident. Bear in mind to continue life with courage and perseverance because life must be going on. No matter what trials and challenges come to us, still life's going on. Let's choose to continue not just by the day but as well as in the future. I had lots of flaws and lapses. Yet I am telling you this because I know sometimes you experience circumstances like I had been. Keep fighting! πͺ Don't easily give up! βΊοΈ ***That would be all for today's blog.

"The How's of My Life" 19th Article Saturday - January 29, 2022 G oo d Day! ***Another wonderful and blessed day to all of us. Let's thank God for the new gift of life and for the salvation freely given for us. A new chapter of our lives to which we are able to continue what we didn't finish yesterday. Fulfilling the dreams and pursuing the goals towards success in the future.*** I have lots of doubts and questions in my mind that sometimes make me think deeply. Many things behind my happiness ask me when, how and why this all happened to me? The impossible things that surround me let me realize the reality I've faced. Those are the facts that somehow I can't avoid the pain of consequences. *Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.* *- Albert Einstein* How to become happy without sadness behind it? Every time I am happy there's always something that I can't explain inside of me. Maybe it's about fear and hesitation because every happiness there's a sadness behind it. The moment I become happy I never forget the outcome after all. As I experience life, my happiness is different from the joy I felt- it's a very unexplainable feeling. This is how I always ask myself and when should this all be answered. When should I become happy without doubt and hesitation? What will be the best thing to do to feel genuine happiness? Feel me if you also felt that way the same as mine. Being happy isn't good and healthy if that all comes from a lie. Others see me smiling but deep inside I'm in pain. They only see the happy face but not the true struggles. It's hard to act in front of people that you're okay just to make them feel at ease. I don't want to become a burden to others and give them problems. The way I live today is the path that God allows in my life. I have no right to ask God what I become like this nor be mad at Him. All I do is to thank the Lord despite all I've been through. How to let go of those once important people in your life? This is the hardest thing for me to do. When there is someone who is leaving in my life, I don't want to just let them go. Saying the word "goodbye" is the hurtful thing I experienced in life. That's why when someone is leaving I don't want to say goodbye to them. If they want to leave then they must go without the right to say any words. This question always reminds me that I need to conquer this. Why? Because too many people in my life are now suddenly starting to leave me. They leave without valid reason and acceptable explanation. Feels like I'm a pathetic person. Maybe I'm useless and don't deserve to be loved anymore. Did you ever try that situation too? Actually I am always thinking about where I've been wrong. Until I get the answer for that question and it's about pride and selfishness. I easily get tired when they make me feel that they don't want me to be part of their lives. Like pushing me away from them and seeing how unimportant I am. But I realized that it was all because of my pathetic attitude. I'm also an imperfect person that can also commit sin and mistakes. Only I regret it when they are gone and have no plan to come. Sadly but true. How to become a brave person when problems, challenges and trials come? One of my biggest fears is to become weaker when circumstances arrive. Crying is my favorite way because I don't want to be sick of the pain I felt in my heart. I want to be a conqueror and one of those bravest people in the world. When problems and challenges come, my first reaction is rattle and mindless. The moment I think about the problem, my tears we're going to fall down. I'm so weak and down in times of hardships. It is a challenge for me on how to become stronger. Despite all the things that have happened in my life, I'm still standing and remain grateful everyday. How to live the life you dreamed for? Poverty is one of the biggest hindrances why we can't afford and experience the abundance of life. I also had many insecurities in life, just like seeing those rich teens with luxury. They can afford to buy the best that they want to have and I pity myself, even my siblings who desire to have a life too. I used to dream about the life I want in the future, for my family as well as for myself. Having a broken family isn't an easy life to deal with. You need to adjust many things and sacrifice for the family. If you read some of my sister's articles you will know how pitiful and hard our life is. I am not sharing this to you just to have your sympathy, but to encourage you to continue life even in the darkest part of it. I can't deny that sometimes I feel ashamed about what life I have but God teaches me to be thankful for what life I had in this world. We all know it's just temporary because our true life and happiness is in heaven. All we need to do is to cooperate and accept the things God allows in our lives. We must enjoy and cherish it. No matter how and when it takes, don't give up because the reward is in the future. All of this happened for God's purposes and I'm still grateful to my parents. I have many questions in my mind but those are the best of all. There are many things I want to do in life and that "how's" I have in life will be overcome. Thank you for being with me today and even in my next article. Have a great day everyone π ***Thank you for reading βΊοΈ*** @Misz_BotipolJen_07 Like and Subscribe π© Checked out my best sponsors

Giving Special Gift Operation - Part 2 ***January 27, 2022*** I write this at 4 am in the morning but I was fall asleep again so I did continue as of now. G oo d Day! ***(Psalms 127:3)*** ***Children are a gift from the Lord;*** ***they are a reward from Him.*** Children are very precious because they are gifts from God. We must love them, make them feel important and valued. They are innocent and have a pure heart and a truthful heart. Every time I see children my first impression is to care and help them. Giving special gifts to the children is our task and the most important part of it is to teach them who Jesus Christ is in their lives. Showing to them how God created heaven, the earth and we as humans. This article I will write today is the second part of the operation I've tackled from my published article last week. It's about giving special gift operations to every valued soul. Today I will share with you what are the most special lessons that children must remember. **Teaching them how to pray π** One of the best lessons we must teach to the children is about prayer. They need to know how to make conversation to God so that when they grow they will learn how to make prayers. As an older one, I know that children are obedient because they have a humble heart. As we started the program of our operation, we first made a prayer before sharing the gospel of God. While watching them as I am their volunteer teacher, I feel joy seeing them obey and follow the prayer we made. I feel their cooperative presence is doing the right thing. God said that we didn't choose Him first because He chose us first. It means that all the children are chosen one. **The Lesson** Sharing to them the gospel of God is the very important task we must fulfill during this operation. As a volunteer teacher, at first I felt nervous because there are so many souls. Then it was my first time standing in front of those children, telling a story about the Bible. I thought they wouldn't listen and cooperate with me, but thank God they are so active. The energy level of the kids makes me feel more confident to share the story about Jesus. I was also thankful to my co-young people together with our church Pastor for helping us. They also volunteered to distribute the gifts and to guide the kiddos. The flow of the operation is very good and successful. Everything that happened was all glory to God, especially to the teaching. ***(Luke 18:16-17)*** ***[16]Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, βLet the children come to me. Donβt stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.*** ***[17]I tell you the truth, anyone who doesnβt receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.β*** The work was successfully finished in just 3 days. We are continuing to give the gift to those children who did not receive it. This operation is still ongoing from other places. It was then my gratitude to thank God for this opportunity to become a voluntary teacher to teach those children. That would be all for this part 2 of my article about Giving Special Gift Operation to the children. Until the next time. ***Thanks for reading βΊοΈ*** @Misz_BotipolJen_07 Like and Subscribe π© ***You can also check out my other published articles π*** ****Blessed Another Year = +1**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/blessed-another-year-1-c7e5ddae ****A Happy One Month User!**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/a-happy-one-month-user-acf48845 ****Special Gift Operation Part 1**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/special-gift-operation-part-1-970b92e8 ****Fully Vaccinated!**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/fully-vaccinated-36a3cdd5 ****Prompt Challenge: What's in my Gallery?**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/prompt-challenge-whats-in-my-gallery-93e62def ****Getting Ready For The Next Level**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/getting-ready-for-the-next-level-f1aed500 ****Importance of Faith**** https://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/importance-of-faith-1fe45df6 To my sponsors thank you for not backing out.

Blessed Another Year = +1 π 17th Article January 26, 2022 Happy birthday to me... πΆ Happy birthday to me... πΆ Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me πΆ π₯³ππππ Hello there! π It's me again ***Misz_BotipolJen*** signing on to write a new article even though it's late and belated birthday writing. I don't want to miss this opportunity to write an article about my birthday celebration yesterday. Not as pretentious but a special day because it's my birthday. I am now 22 years old and still counting and praying for many years to come with healthy living. If you already had read my article from the past day, I also tackled my read.cash fund that I withdrew for the preparation of my birthday. So yesterday's celebration wouldn't have been successful without the help of this platform. **The Preparations** Last Sunday we made this "pala-pala" (in Bisaya language). I don't know the English word for it. I asked some help from my co-young people together with my younger brother and thanks to them it was successfully done in just a day. It looks simple and easy to make but because we are out of materials so there are some adjustments we must make. Our only goal is to have shelter to cover up the sun. The boys also make 2 wooden chairs and thankfully it was all done with a great job. Goodnight Groufie We're about to sleep and rest last night but taking pictures is an addiction, posting their stories on Facebook, so that's what happened. LOL. But before that our "sintunado" voices were displayed in our neighbors. My sister paid for a video karaoke and everyone loves to sing except the kiddos. We sang as much as we wanted, but we needed to sleep early so then we could wake up at 3 am to cook the food. There are many things behind the scenes of our preparations. I had no photos because I'm also busy being an assistant. Everyone is tired and still sleepy but the cooperation remains to help one another. Thanks to my friends who helped and support us in cooking and for preparing the food. *****The program***** In religious gatherings it is habitual for us as Christians to worship and glorify the Lord first before anything else. We need to sing praises to God to acknowledge His presence in the midst of the gathering. We were all blissful and I felt the thirst of the word of God. The program starts at 12 in the afternoon because some of the visitors arrived late. After the praise and worship Pastor shared a short message of God to everyone. Then he and his wife left encouraging messages and advice for me. It really means a lot to me because they are my spiritual parents in Christ and I'm so blessed with their lives. They declared prayers for me and for my family as well. ***Lunch Break...*** **The Visitor's** My plan is to have a birthday fellowship not a party and God answered my prayers. My HOP church Family is one of my visitors and I didn't expect that they would come and visit our home. I thought they're just a few but I saw lots of them who'd really loved me and made my day the most special. My relatives were the second top visitors yesterday. I felt ashamed of them because we even have chairs to make them sit well and comfortably. I'm so blessed and happy because they join the fellowship. **Closing thoughts and thanksgiving** I was super duper blessed and happy yesterday. That day was the most special and memorable birthday for me and nothing can compare to it. It was then my first birthday to be with my family, relatives and Church mates. My heart was dancing because I was so overwhelmed. My tears are still falling down when I remembered what happiness I felt yesterday. The love they gave and shared with me is the most important thing I received as a gift for this another year God has given to me. In any birthday celebration the food, decorations and anything else is not important but the people who value and cherish you. Even though I didn't speak out my wishes, God already knows what's inside my heart. I prayed that God would grant all of it because even if I haven't asked Him yet He gave it to me already. I was grateful and really appreciated those people who love and message their wishes and greetings to me. Thank you and the Lord will blesses you all more and more π₯³ `Unexpected things happen to us and many surprises excites us.

A Happy One Month User! π 16th article π January 24, 2022 Hi π Thank you for opening this article of mine and spending some time to read. I know this isn't the very best but it is all written with a heart. Please take your time. First of all I would like to give thanks to my sponsors who are still supporting and staying with me. It's my honor and gratitude that you choose me. I am doing the best I can to write more articles that will be acceptable with my own content. Though sometimes my writings aren't good enough but still striving harder to do my best for this community. It's been a month since I started writing an article here. When I registered and logged in, I thought I couldn't survive publishing an article even in a week. Not because of laziness but because I had a lack of unique ideas, especially in English words. That's my weakness, starting from the beginning even until now. Almost half of a day before I can finish and complete my article for each day. I can't deny that. By then, I was encouraged and lifted up myself to continue and learn more and more. There's no wrong in learning, right? The hesitation and doubt pushes me to be strong and stay. And now I can't imagine it's my one month here and still continuing. Thank God π **Read.cash is a big help** Within a month read.cash helps me a lot financially as well as in my writing skills improvement. As of yesterday I sent and cash out $42.16 from my read.cash wallet. I haven't coins.ph yet so I sent it to my sister so that I can use the money for my upcoming birthday. My income is not enough though so then I borrowed some money from my sister and thankfully she lent me some. I had no plans for this birthday celebration. All I want is good health and wisdom for my studies. But God reminds me to have a fellowship in our house so that we will be blessed that day, especially my entire family. I invited my co-young people and some of the leaders in the church. Hopefully they can come and visit our place where we lived now. **Noise.cash fund** By the way, I just want also to flex my noise.cash that I cash out with my read.cash fund. I sent my noise.cash income so that it will be also use for the event. My noise fund and income is not big as it is but it helps me too. I had cash out $5 from my noise wallet and that will be a big help. As a user for almost half a year everyday was a struggle for me because of this internet connection. I used Dito sim but this isn't good everywhere I go, it has a limitations of signal. I am being overwhelmed and blessed to be a one month user here in read.cash. Though I can't cope up to write an article everyday but still the robot is good to me for giving me a tip. Thanks to you @TheRandomRewarder for your kindness. To my 27 followers and subscribers, thank you for making friends with me. I learn many ideas about writing as I've read different articles from you all. I am inspired by your writings that encourage me. I may not be that kind of active on this platform. Sometimes when I have lots of activities in school and deadline paper works, I can't even visit here directly. ***"The doors of opportunity are unlocked but you'll never know unless you try and open them first" -Kushandwizdom*** Until now I am still thankful to my sister for helping me and encouraging me to write and be more active on this platform. Without her I can't unlock this opportunity. That will be all for my article today. I need to rest because I had a fever and headaches! My cough is also teasing me. `Thank you for reading βΊοΈ`

Special Gift Operation Part 1π The 15th article π `"Some gifts are big. Others are small. But the ones that come from the heart, are the best gift of all" - Tinku Razoria` *A pleasant day my fellow readers and writers. The morning seems quite good and better. How's your life? If you ask me, I am leaning on the chair right now while meditating on what I will write for an article today.* My mind is confused and hesitant because this thing I will share with you today happened last Christmas season. So it's been a very late story to write about. Yet I decided to make an article for this because the operation for giving gifts to the children in the community hasn't been done yet. Generally, the final Operation was started last January 3 and 4. We released and gave the gifts to the children in the first week of the month for this year. Actually the gifts arrived last December 2021 but the church decided to start giving it this month. Everyone was busy last Christmas and we also had our Thanksgiving Celebration event at the church so the schedule is unfixed. I have published an article about it. You can also read it if you want to. The children in Boni-Boni were the first community we had given the gifts to. Each of them received their special gift that was donated from other countries. You will see how happy and surprised they are when they open their gifts. The smiles and happiness in their faces can't compare. Almost 70 children in the list received the Samaritan gift. As they opened the gift some received shoes, t-shirts, sandals, notebooks, and the most common put inside the box are the toys. It is not an ordinary toy you can buy anywhere because it's expensive with unique high qualities. I was envious of the children, haha! LoL. Feels like I want to be a child again to have a gift like what they had. During my childhood days I haven't received a gift from other countries' donations. But luckily children nowadays are blessed to be part of these operations. Consequently, because of the Covid-19 pandemic we need some adjustments and to follow the rules and protocols authorized by the government. Each gift will be released one by one to their house. No child is allowed to go outside and social distancing is highly prohibited. We also given a task to do during this giving gift operation. The documentation by taking pictures and making a survey while giving the gift. To complete the following tasks we need to send it to the encharge personnel who is the frontliner or the communicator to the other country. They will deliver the information and forward all the photos of each child who received the special gift. As well as the feedback and comments from us. As of now we already send the first documentary evidence of this community operation for the children. The main purpose of this special gift operation is to share the Gospel of God to each children's soul. It is the goal to which the sponsorship of other country continue to send their love and blessings to the children's here in our country. By means that through those gifts they prepared, each child will receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. That will be the most important part of this work to build a progress and saved one's life. All Pastors, Leaders and church members always praying to make this operations successful and valuable. Even us, as a staff and volunteers, we also do praying that those souls of each child will be saved as well as their parents. That the Lord will touch each heart and encourage their souls to have relationship with Him. For we all know that nothing is impossible to God if we believe by faith. ***Lesson and Encouragement*** Wholeheartedly, I participated this operations it's because when it talks about children my heart is touched and persuaded to volunteer. I was being happy and blessed to be part of this giving gift to the community. This is a testimony to which the Lord uses people from other places to transmit His word. I've learned that each child is precious in front of God. They deserve to be loved and cared no matter who and what they are. The joy in their heart teaches me to valued every child and help them everytime they need to. Through this learning I was push to continue teaching children in the community and share to them the goodness of God. Make them feel that they are worth it and important. That would be all for this article. Until the next part of this Special Gift Operation. ***Matthew 19:14*** ***But Jesus said, βLet the children come to me. Donβt stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.β*** Thank you for reading βΊοΈ `Date Published: January 22, 2022`

Fully Vaccinated! π ***14th article βοΈπ*** ***January 20, 2022*** Good day my fellow writers! How's your doing in life? By the way, thank you for having some time to open and read my article today! It talks about my second dose vaccination experience and feeling. ***It's very important to get our second dose!*** I got my second dose vaccination last Tuesday, January 18, 2022 at the evacuation center here in our municipality. People are crowded and we're almost out of number that day. I woke up early just to get a number for the line. We arrived at exactly 7:30 in the morning but still there were many people who came in first. We didn't expect that my friends and I would get a number for the second batch of vaccination. I was so tired waiting for almost 6 hours. We haven't eaten lunch that day because we forgot to bring food. Our money is only good for fare so we only buy bread and soft drinks. Badly not good for our health though but at least our tummy was filled up. While waiting for our batch to get our second dose some are going home. Other's are prefer to wait if their numbers must be called. Us are just sitting under the trees to have some fresh air. Mostly, everyone is rushing to get vaccines at the moment. As we all know nowadays, vaccination is now necessary and is usually mandatory to all people, especially to the employees in big companies. There are many employees that are against vaccinations even though they are jobless. They said that it's better to work on a farm than to be vaccinated before getting a job. But some workers choose to be jobless. For me, at first I didn't have any plans to get vaccinated even though the virus spread so much and killed thousands of people. I doubt myself everyday and my mind is always confused about what I should choose to do. I prayed to the Lord for the best decision I will make. Until the conviction if my heart and mind decided to be vaccinated. Honestly, I made a choice because of the face to face classes announced by the Department of Education (DepEd). As a student it was my opportunity to experience face to face classes rather than online learning classes. If you read my article about my struggles in online learning classes you will see how it affects my grades and learnings. The moment I heard the news about face to face classes I was excited and overwhelmed as well. But everything goes like a dream. They postponed and canceled it after I got my first dose vaccination. One of my weaknesses is the needle. When I see it my heart flutters and that makes me feel nervous. The fear I had can't explain when needles are in front of me. But the eagerness I had during the day was full of faith and strength to conquer my fears. While sitting in the chair for it's my turn to have an injection, I haven't felt pain. Even like a bite of ants. Even though I doubted it, I was still thankful because I didn't have a fever or any bad effects of vaccination. I don't want to take any medication as well. I am now fully vaccinated and I know this happens for a reason. I don't want to but still I need to for the sake of my education and future goals. Others said vaccination is not good for health but God did not allow things to happen without a purpose. Some are closed minded but I know they also have their reasons, so we must respect them and not judge or condemn their decisions. We have different aspects and perspectives in life, most of all we have different beliefs and values. And we all know that even if we're all fully vaccinated still we aren't safe and secure for all variant viruses. Let's all be cooperative for the law and protocols authorized by our governments. Protect your life and keep yourself away from COVID-19 if you want to save your whole family. Let's all stay healthy! Thank you for reading βΊοΈ

Prompt Challenge: What's in my Gallery? The 8th article of the year π Hello world! and good day my fellow readers. For today's article I am writing about what are those things and photos inside my gallery. Thank you for stopping by and having some extra time to read my writings. ***It's better late than never!*** A saying when you have confidence to participate even when you're out of time. In short I still have the guts to join the prompt challenge of Mr.@meitanteikudo Though it was a day ahead after the challenge was posted. When I read his article about prompt for gallery raid, I was encouraged to write my own content about it. I actually checked out my gallery and there are different photos taken and saved from before and after. ***"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory" - Dr. Seuss*** ***Oldest Photo on your phone** This picture was taken last December 28, 2018. It's been almost 5 years ago since we had church outings every year. The photo was captured at Samal Resort Davao City during Christmas. It was my first time diving and swimming in the sea haha! LOL. (Ignorante pako that time π) We stayed there for one day and one night. The long trip was full of enjoyable adventure. Even though there are many troubles along our way, I'm still thankful for safe travel. Memories brought back to where they came from and this photo kept in my gallery will always be valued and cherished. ***A place you have been that you want to visit again** If you already read my article about my unexpected trip to Lake Napalit, this photo was posted there. This is the place I have been that I want to visit again. We had an unplanned trip on that Lake and stopped by for a minute. I was amazed by the wonderful views surrounded by large mountains. Have it's fresh air and cold deep water. Years may pass by but I want to visit and go back to that place one day. We rode a bamboo floating boat that cost $3 each. At Least I experienced it even if we're out of time that day. The passage is difficult to find if you aren't familiar with that place. It's quite far, located at Pigtauranan Pangantucan in Central Bukidnon. ***The most memorable photo** One of my biggest answered prayers to God is when my mother and older sister came home last December. We had a Christmas celebration together at home for how many years we didn't have it. I kept this photo in my gallery as a memorable photo of memories with my family. The photo was captured at Municipality lights decorations last December 28, 2021. A first moment of my life bonding with family even though it isn't complete but still happy and blessed. ***A Selfie/Groufie** Last January 7, 2022, we are invited for baby dedication to sing for the worship. The three girls you've seen in the picture is my friends in our church as well as the worship leaders. It was our first group picture ever which is saved on my phone. We're like sisters or siblings when we gathered together. When I'm with them I feel comfortable and confident. This photo of us has it's meaningful memories. Everytime I open my documents I stopped while looking for our faces in the pictures. Thinking what did happened that time and imagining the scenarios. *Latest Photo on My Gallery Yesterday's updated picture on my phone. While waiting for the transportation going to church, were taking some pictures to post. My friends are just addicted for selfie and having pictures anywhere and whatever we do haha. It's always a priceless time we had together because all of us are busy for school and works. Rarely to bond and have fun to each other. *An Embarrassing Photo For me this would be also the worst photo on my phone hayst. My cousin took a picture in me while taking a bath outside wearing sports bra and short. I saw this when I scan my gallery for this prompt and this made me laughed out. I thought I already deleted it since I saw this after it was taken. However I forgot though. That would be the photos I can present for this prompt challenge. ***You can also click the like and hit the Subscribe button if you want to.

Getting Ready For The Next Level *βYour strength doesn't come from winning. It comes from struggles and hardship. Everything that you go through prepares you for the next level.β* ***_goodreads.com_*** Before I start to write my article today, I would like to say thank you for your support and appreciation even though my writings aren't good enough and better just as you do. It's my 3rd week of the month learning and grinding in this platform. I am always grateful and blessed to be part of this community βΊοΈ As of today students are all busy compiling their tasks and working for the incomplete grades, so do I. Some are processing the school fees and making their thesis to graduate. Teachers and facilitators being assigned are also very busy to help the students with the lacking grades from the first semester. The enrollment is still ongoing as of now. I also had an incomplete grade (INC grade) from the past semester. I have lack on my assessment task and almost I've got a zero score. That's makes me feel bad and hopeless though. But still coping up and fighting! If you read from my past article about my struggles in online learning classes. My over all grade was posted in there. See the link below πhttps://read.cash/@Misz_BotipolJen_07/my-struggles-in-onlinelearning-classes-322d8419 My final grade has lacks of requirements and need to follow up. I already posted my special task in our google classroom given by our instructor. Hopefully I will passed it and gain a passing grade for the finals. When I received my Certificate of Registration (COR) in my email yesterday, there isn't a billing fees or balance fees on it. So I send an email back to the department because it's highly needed for the tagging of scholarship. Thankfully I easily contact the encharge personnel from our department as of today and replied right away. Directly I received a completed COR for the second semester. I'm so happy you know! π I am blessed because I am one of those officially enrolled this second semester for the school year 2021-2022. This next level of my journey in second year college will be cooperative and productive. It means that my second semester will be very different from before. Though, I can't promise to gain the top grades but I will strive harder to achieve better. Two years and half months to go and I will complete and accomplish my field degree course chosen. I am now getting ready for the next level of my journey. Continue fighting and kicking for dreams and goals. Discouraging those nonsense business that makes us unfocused and maintaining the good grades for the future. All efforts and sacrifices are worth it. Every hardship will become a testimony. From ups and downs, joy and happiness will come. Excitements and surprises of provision and favor will be granted. Even if this next level is tougher than before, the fight is not yet over. ***Encouragements*** To all students out there! Let's continue the battle of journey in college life. If you failed yesterday, today and tomorrow will be your success. Chin up and cheer up because chances are not closed. Don't let yourself down from stress and problems that oppose your goals. What you've experienced has also happened to me. But one thing that I know for sure, the Lord will never leave me nor forsake me. He will never run away but will guide me to win this battle. Don't rush time and be positive in life to conquer circumstances. We knew that this is not easy but be courageous and don't easily give up.

Importance of Faith A blessed day my dearest readers. It is another day and a new gift of life freely given to us. Let's thank God and be grateful even if life is hard. Today I wanna share with you about our faith in God and how important it is in our daily lives. Hope you enjoyed and caught a lesson in this article while reading. **For you, what is faith? How important is it in your life? What is the role of faith in human life?** Well, according to my research as well as my knowledge about it. If we talk about faith, it isn't just a notion that some people hold onto in tough times; faith is an important element to all human life on earth. Faith is what helps to get us through, illuminating the pathway in times of darkness, helping to give us strength in times of weakness. Without faith, we are nothing. Absolutely correct, all that stated above is right and very important for us. Through faith we can rest assured that all things happened according to it's perfect time. And with faith we can learn how to wait for the Lord's will. Generally, faith is the best way we must use in life. By faith everything is possible if we/you believe. If you read the bible in ***2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we live by believing and not by seeing."*** This means that living is not about what we see and what we hear. It is about believing with faith from the heart. For some instances, we sometimes have fear to believe because we already experience being rejected. We are hesitant to try again because at first we failed. Actually true faith never quits and surrenders. It always continues believing even if it fails a lot. Many people haven't faith in God. They didn't even recognize the goodness of God in their lives. They don't know who the real Savior is. I am not saying this to judge somebody, but this is factual evidence as I've seen and experienced how cruel the world is right now. Even the people of God were deceived and tempted by the evilness of the ungodly people. I admit that I am one of those. Each of us has no right to judge and condemn one another. Only God can. And our faith in God is the most important thing we need to trust and believe. Living without faith is like fishing in the river with no fish. Same goes in our lives. ***Faith is dead without action*** ***James 2:26 "Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works."*** In faith it also needs good work. Without action faith is dead and it isn't effective. I also experienced that in my life. But when the word of God teaches me I realized that faith also needs actions. We need to act and work for it, so that faith is more powerful not only by words. So far, if I rate my own faith on this day, I could say it is very bad. Still I encourage myself and continue believing to God that nothing is impossible when I believe. Trials may pull me down but my faith in God won't be gone. For it is not only in good times but most importantly in hard times of life. **Prayer π** Prayer is the most powerful weapon we can use to defeat our unseen enemies. With prayers our faith in God will increase and be secured. It is very important. Do not let your enemy destroy you, guard your faith in God and believe in Him. Maybe today I failed for my faith, yet these challenges I've been through will be my guide to lift me up. And will be used to make my faith overflow. Always put in mind how important faith is, in our daily life. We may experience hardships still don't allow your faith become weak. It stated in the Bible that faith can move mountains. Not necessarily a mountain in literal but it means about our mountains in life. Problems, challenges and trials we have. Don't get easily discourage because God has a better plan for us. Not by now but in His perfect time. Thank you for reading βΊοΈ `Date Published: January 12, 2022`

Blessed to be there! Hi my dearly readers. How's life going on? Hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. I want to share my experience and memories of being in the place that I once visited yesterday. Hope you enjoy reading. ***Ephesians 2:16*** ***"Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death."*** As brother's and sister's in the Lord, it is very important to have fellowship with one another. Through that way, we can be reunited as one body of Christ. We are also able to know each other and reconcile with one goal and desires. This has a big impact for us, as a Christian people of God. It is rare that we can join and have some time to visit other churches. Normally happens is when they're having a celebration and they invite us. So yesterday was an opportunity for us to be at the other church. We're undecided at that time but still the will and plan of God happened. Every burden we think has no stop for our visitation. As we arrived at the place we felt excitement and happiness to meet them all. The church is big and almost everyone is crowded inside. It means that the house of the Lord is fruitful and multiplied a lot. So amazing! Each greetings approached us to go back and encourage other companions from our church. ***Ecclesiastes 11:9*** ***"Young people, itβs wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do."*** **π₯ The Young People** After the Sunday service we're taking group pictures with the young people of Sinuda Four Square Gospel church. They're warmth and joyful smiles tell us that we are so welcomed there. All of them make us feel like a family and treat us like we've known each other for a long time. Every young teenager in their church is very nice and so good to us. Even their leaders and Pastors are also happy to see us visiting them. They gave us shelter to get some rest after the Sunday service and gave us food to eat. π₯ **The Young Teens Worship Team** I was blessed and amazed by their hidden talents. The music teens are so good at playing instruments and the worship was very organized and successful. From the start until the end of the program, the fire that overflows with their hearts remains with them. It shows how God's presence works within the congregation. The word that was shared that time was well explained and understandable. It teaches and encourages me to continue serving God no matter what trials are. Indeed, the word of God was about the hypocrisy of a man. Some people are sharing the gospel but not from the heart. When I am remembering the day that I've been there, I still feel the happiness and love by the people. Not as strangers or unknown but as sister and family in the Lord. Though it was unexpected, as of now I want to go back to yesterday. From the day that no else's hate and unloved me. The most important part of it was the lesson of memories that nothing can compare to the Love of God. I am so thankful to the Lord for our protection and for the safe travel. Wherever we go God will always be with us. Hoping that we can go back there with more fun and enjoyment. *They said that this generation is the chosen generation. So as young people we are encouraged to share the gospel and spread out the Good News of the goodness of God. It is our responsibility and ministry to encourage and lift up one's soul. Tell the truth and tell the world that Jesus lives and He is coming soon.* That's all for this day. Thank you for reading βΊοΈ

My Struggles In Online/Learning Classes **January 8, 2021** Good day readers! How are you today? Hope you're doing well and staying healthy. Thank you for opening this article again and having time to read my fourth published article for this year 2022. I know all of you are very familiar and we'll know about my topic today. Online class is one of my biggest burdens I experience nowadays. Actually I didn't expect to start my college life facing the giant pandemic that has killed thousands of people around the world. It has a big impact on our daily lives and almost ruined our hopes to go back to what our life was before. For me it also affected my study and lessened my learnings. As students it is very important for us to have a complete and effective learning. Without proper knowledge and proficiency we can't have an efficacious education. It is hard to proceed with the course we choose and to graduate with ineffective learning. Sadly to accept the fact that because of this pandemic online classes are enforced by the department of Education. All of us don't want to make our efforts become in vain and useless. **Google Meeting** Doing and participating in online google class is difficult for me. One of it's burdens is the internet connection of the signal here in our home. I can't focus on the lesson and for the tasks given by our instructor because of the signal interruptions. While our class is ongoing the signal is also very poor and difficult to reach. I need to find a good signal and move to another corner just to have a signal. Usually, this dilemma is the biggest headache for us. Most of the time I'm sick of this problem that gives me a hard time during online classes. This is the main reason why online classes are not an appropriate and effective learning process. We as students don't deserve this situation. Yet, all of this happened for an important purpose. I can't blame anyone, especially the Lord. He just allowed this pandemic with a big plan for us. Let's just trust the and believe the process. **Online Learning Classes lessen my grades this semester** The picture shown above is the grading system for our first semester. It shows what changes I have for my grades from midterm to final term. As you can see, some of my grades are lowered down from 1.75 decreased to flat 2, some increased and other grades are unchanged. Definitely, online class has a big impact to my grades. Maybe because of my laziness to study or the deficiency of lesson teaching of some instructor. The incomplete grade (INC) posted with a color blue is an unexplainable grade I have this semester. It made me confused because I know that I already comply and passed the requirements. Sadly our instructor gave me that unfair grade. Hopefully he can manage and explain to me why my grade fails like that. The following indicated below are some of the Advantages & Disadvantages of Online Learning/Classes. It shows how helpful and helpless the online classes for the students this time of pandemic crisis. My thoughts and opinions are being applied for what stated below. Please correct me if I'm wrong and comment down what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of this online learning classes. ***ADVANTAGES:*** Less Intensity The comfort of your Home Easier Attendance Save money for allowance Hands on computer skills ***DISADVANTAGES:*** Excess exposure to screen time Requires self-discipline and time management skills Diminished social interaction Lack of trust between teacher and students Time Pressure and stressful Lack of gadgets and signal **End Thoughts** Everyone was affected by the very difficult crisis encountered by our nations. It destroyed our economy and most of all the study of each student. Yesterday there were many rumors that a new variant virus arose. For the news I heard that face to face classes are canceled. But I've seen many schools require their actual classes. Hopefully this covid-19 pandemic will end and won't happen again. It's been my second year in college but less than a percent of the time that I will experience face to face classes. However, don't lose hope, we don't know what tomorrow brings for us. A new world will come and the Lord will totally heal our wounded land. I may be struggling now for the online learning classes but I am still praying that this situation wouldn't last long forever. I want to graduate and pursue my chosen course with lot's of learning. As well as passing this semester without failing grades. And those lower marks of my grade will be retrieved. ***Once again thank you for your unending support especially to my sponsors and to those person who appreciates my articles. The Lord will bless you more than more.*** **Thank you for reading βΊοΈ**

Tears Of Pain `Every pain has it's lesson and every tear has its purpose. Cry it all out and still rejoice with it. For all things happened for good and for a very important reason.` Good day to all of you readers. It's me again and thank you for having some time to read and learn with my new article today. My last article was about my journey here in read.cash within a week. I missed writing an article yesterday because of some reason. Hoping for your understanding βΊοΈ As we all know, tears are always part of our life. Every time we get hurt, tears will be part of it. We cried, we mourned and we're feeling sad, it normally happens to us because we're only human. If you're in pain right now, release that and be healed. All things that we usually experience as humans have already happened to me. Not just in me but I know it also happens to you. Everyone feels that way with pain and tears. Including our family, friends and loved ones. They said, it's ok to cry if you're in pain. Remember, tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can't speak. Absolutely right, God knows our hearts and He feels our pains. ***Tears has a limitations*** Being in pain is not an easy thing to deal with. Otherwise, you stay in pain or else you move forward and let go. Sometimes it is hard to do but that will be the best decision to apply. You're weeping today yet tomorrow will come and make you more happier. Run away from pain and stop your tears because there's a better purpose for that. It is what we call limitations of the tears of each pain. Silent tears hold the hardest pain. When I am in pain all I need to remember is that there's a biggest testimony after it. I can't say I am strong enough to handle pain but I am saying, pain is a blessing.To make us realize and to wake from worthy decisions. It was designed for our lives to live with better choices. ***Regrets of wrong decisions and choices*** We cannot prevent choosing the wrong ones. It makes me struggle with guiltiness and conscience when I made a decision without thinking the results. I am sick to it, believing that those are good for me. Until time awakes me from the fact that I was been wronged. My mind is confused and hesitated because everything is already done. There is no chance at all. That was the lesson of my life. To which teaches me to choose and do the right thing so that no regrets afterwards. Every tears falling down from my eyes matters and has a big help to me. Reminding me always to do not do the same situation as I was did before. ***Realizations*** Tears of pain helped me realized everything. From wrong choices and decisions I made. It is hard for me to accept at first. But when I remember what hurtful things I did to others, my heart aches with struggles. All of a sudden, each painful days I put with others knocked me and changed my whole life. I am thankful with all the scars of pain I received. Though it takes time to get over again from the pain. Atleast one day I can overcome it and completely free with worth it scars. Since the day I regret from all mistakes I've done, it fully filled my heart. This is the best teaching i ever had. *Sometimes crying is good for the soul. Pull the pain outside to make you feel at ease* That would be all for today π Thank you for reading βΊοΈ (Lead image from Unsplash) `Date Published: January 6, 2022`

Giving Myself A Break - A New Year Resolution ***January 2, 2022*** ***Still Happy π Year Everyone!*** Before I start my sentences for this first writing of the year, I would like to say, Thank you for being part of my past year 2021. This community is like a family to me, even though I was here for a week. To where I am able to share and open up my problems and true life story. In which I am assured that this community is willing to listen for my own thoughts and insights. More than that, this platform will help me grow and will help financially. **Okay, let's start now...** Not everyone has a new year's resolution. Some people aren't believing it. Others are maybe listing it now and some are still fulfilling it for themselves. After so many years in my life, I don't have that kind of resolution every new year. It's just meaningless to me, because I don't believe in new year resolutions before. But now I decided to have it for myself and spend a lot of time resting. ***Let's Take a Break!*** I hesitated at first but now I made up my mind for this new year resolution and hopefully it will be fulfilled without any regrets. What regrets am I talking about? It is about those people that were once important to me. Not to mean that they're worthless but because I don't want to hurt them again and become a headache. Taking care of ourselves by giving a break from hardships in life is also about helping ourselves to become stronger and better. This break is not about I give up or I surrender. It means that I am just resting myself for a while. I will continue what I started and still try my best. ***Why do I make this as a new year's resolution?*** Well, for me this resolution means a lot to me. I am looking forward to where I could be once I achieve this throughout the year. Heading to a new beginning and starting forgetting the painful past I had. I always plan for so many things that possibly happen to me. Worrying too much and stressing myself out is worth nothing. And this plan of giving myself a break is one of those. People around me usually see me as always a happy person. They think I don't have problems and just chillin' in life. That's the only side they know about me. I gave myself a break yesterday and it really feels good. Casually, it was unexpected but it seems like it really works. The realization teaches me to get out of my comfort zone. A comfort zone of my life before. Less stress, no pain, no doubt and most importantly no negativity of mindsets. Frankly speaking, sometimes it's better to be alone because nobody can possibly hurt you. Be with those people that have a positive insight of life and with those friends who are trustworthy to keep your personal secrets and problems. ***A time for everything*** ****Ecclesiastes 3:11-12**** ***[11]Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of Godβs work from beginning to end.*** ***[12]So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.*** The word of God told us that we can be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. If you read the whole chapter of Ecclesiastes 3, that will be the best word for us while meditating and giving ourselves a break. This word keeps on reminding me. Today is my second day of taking a break. Prioritize the people I love and are valuable to me. Fixing my own self and making changes for this year. I want this year to have a peaceful and happy life. Painting new memorable memories and living my life to the fullest with rejoicing from the heart. Thank you for reading βΊοΈπ Like and Subscribe π©

How Grateful I Am This Year 2021 Hello there! π How are you today? Thanks for opening this article and for having time to read. Enjoy reading. I have been thinking since last night about what to share and being thankful for this year end? My mind is full of negative thoughts maybe because of those trials and hardships I've been through this year. It really affects my positive ideas to write about. At first I doubted joining the prompt challenge of ma'am @Eybyoung. I don't have enough words to say how thankful I am. Even if I say a million times that I am so thankful in this life. It isn't sufficient from January up to this last day of December, saying thank you for the kindness of God in my life. From failures to heartaches. For sadness nights and scary nightmares. To suffering and poverty. From disappointments and discouragements. Still the goodness, faithfulness and unconditional love of the Lord remains at me throughout this year. Well, if you ask me what I am thankful for this year? Let's count and start hereβ¦ The first thing that I am thankful for this year is for being part of these two communities. It's been almost half a year since I joined the noise.cash community. In the read.cash community it's been a week since I was confident enough to join. My eagerness started when I saw how far my sister has achieved since she joined the community. She had helped our mother in Manila and gave us some money to buy food needed in the house when she was in Cagayan De Oro City. By then, I decided to join read.cash and noise.cash, so that I could help our family too. At Least even in a small amount of money I can give though. Thank you noise.cash and read.cash. I am so grateful that I was confident enough to be part of your community and become a good writer and an author one day. This will be a long journey for me, yet I am now ready to face what challenges arrive in me. Yahoo!! I am now in my second year in college and still praying that I fulfill my dreams of becoming a professional teacher. I declared in Jesus Name! This is the second thing that I am thankful for this year. I can't even imagine how much God blesses me to reach this far. I know this isn't the last part of my school journey. But I know I can attain the finish line. God let me enter here so He will also help me to pursue the future goal. There will be more years to pass by before I can achieve my desire. I also need to save more money to sustain my needs and tuition. So I will strive harder to earn money and support my studies. Last and foremost that I was thankful for this year, 2021. All about my family. I am very happy and appreciative that we gathered together for the new year. Many years have passed since our family reunited during Christmas and new year's occasions. Almost 9 years ago since our last Christmas together if I'm not mistaken. By that, we also have 9 years of loneliness and an unhappy new year's and Christmas. But now, my 2021 year end was amazing and blissfully. Lots of great and good things happen to me. Many opportunities came to me and some of my prayers were already answered. One of those prayers that was answered is when our mother got home. Also my sister and her daughter are home too. How thankful am I? It's an unexplainable feeling. Those were the important things I am grateful for. Year 2021 may end but those memories that happened to our lives will be remembered for the upcoming years. This is not the last year to be thankful for because it would be forever. All that I have and will receive is all thanks to God. I have nothing in this life and I don't even own my breath. Only one thing that I know, it is the Lord Who is the owner of everything. That would be all thank you! ***#WhatIamThankfulForThis2021***. **Welcome 2022 π** ***Advance Happy New Year To All Of Us!*** Thank you for reading βΊοΈ `Date Published: December 31, 2021`

Lake Napalit - The Unexpected Travel Did you experience or try going to a place you've never seen and unexpectedly planned? If yes, then we had experienced the same situation. But maybe my situation is worse than yours, it is because I don't even have money to pay for the entrance fee haha! How embarrassing! Lake Napalit is located at Pigtauranan, Pangantucan place of Bukidnon. The lake is one of the known tourist spots here in Bukidnon. In which many people go back and forth because of the beautiful view and it's expensive payment. It is about 54.8 kilometers far and 1 hour 13 minutes to ride from Maramag to Pangantucan. Expectedly 1 and half hour will be consumed to ride if the transportation is running slow. Most people going there prefer to use motorcycles rather than large cars or vehicles. Since the lake is quite far from the crossing road and some of the route is still rocky. Not fully filled with cement. Lake Napalit, also known as Pigtauranan Lake is covering an area of 36 hectares with a depth of 78 feet, the lake lies at the foot of Kalatungan Mountains. According to Wikipedia, Lake Napalit is a small tectonic lake located in the mountains of central Bukidnon province in the Philippines. It is situated just outside the Kalatungan Mountain Range. ***For the first time and forever!*** It's my first memorable experience that will last forever and always be remembered. Actually I didn't expect to be there since we're all tired from traveling. The back wheel of the car we used is also tired and needs to rest, so that it will be easily fixed. Still the tour went on and continued in spite of the car condition. As we arrived at the location, the entrance section was a little far from the lake. Actually they are still continuing the construction of buildings and other establishments. At first we thought that the entrance fee was about 50-100 pesos per head, so we doubted going inside and just taking pictures outside. But the entrance fee was 20 pesos only per person. I didn't have money at that time, but thanks to our elders they paid for us. After that we entered the lake and everyone felt excited and amazed by the wonderful views created by God. I almost shout because of the joy it brings to my heart. We're taking different angles of pictures and then our group pictures as a proof that we've been there. It's worth keeping. No one compares to the joy that prints in each heart. The lake is surrounded with mountains and trees. While looking around I observe that farmers mostly plant corn and sugarcane on land. The place is also used and good for wedding prenup and debut pictorials. We can also go swimming too. Our opportunity was not already over. We also experienced riding in a bamboo floating boat that was paid for 100 pesos. It is designed up and down and best for relaxing and having fresh air. I've also seen that kids below 10 years old are the ones who guided the visitors to ride the bamboo boat. They help the tourist to push and pull the tie to go through another side of the lake. Kids are expert and skilled at swimming. At Exactly 3:10 pm we reach the place and we ride home at 4:30 pm. After we take pictures as much as we stop the bamboo boat and pull it back to the starting point because we're out of time. Everyone enjoyed it and planned to be back there. It's unexpected trip, still the memories were written in my heart. Until now it feels like a dream, but looking back at the pictures in my gallery tells me that I was there in reality. Each picture is simple but has it's unexplainable happiness written from every smile. I can't even imagine how blessed I am to keep a recollection like that. Everytime I travel far I am then thankful because I experience what others do. Especially when I come to a place where I haven't been before. Those moments and scenarios happened is also a learning experience to me. Memories always bring back the past happiness itself. ***Lesson Learned*** Life is not always about bringing happiness, sometimes testing or trials is often. What matters most is to appreciate the life freely given. Embrace failures and still be thankful to circumstances. By that we can value even small things that happen to us. For me, I don't need to be rich just to experience many things. All I want is to be grateful and appreciate what God has given to me. Sometimes I feel insecurities about others' lives, but contentment is more important and the best way to accept what your true life is. `Always remember "All things happen according to the will and purpose of God" We can't change it, yet we are given free choices to make life more colorful and creative` **Thank you for reading βΊοΈ** Date Published: December 30, 2021

Our Church Christmas Party and Thanksgiving Celebration π Last Sunday, December 26th 2021, we celebrated our Christmas party as well as our church thanksgiving for this year. We held it in the church for the whole day. It started at 8 am and ended at 4 pm. During the day, happiness is written in our hearts. Every face looks excited and overwhelmed to join the party. We also bring our gifts for exchanging. Games can't be forgotten every time we have a celebration. Everyone participates except for the kids. Most importantly, the picture taking moment for the documentary memories. `Galatians 3:27` *"And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes"* At 8:30 amβ¦ Before the thanksgiving and Christmas party happened. There was a christening baby baptism in the morning. I am usually one of those godmother of the baby. Everytime we have an event for thanksgiving, the church also caters for baby christening. Offering the lives of the infant to the Lord is also required and is needed. So that a child will live with fear of God. As I stand as a godparent I also learned other things about the word of God. Even if I am not the real parents of baby Ailah, I also have an obligation to her. It is also my responsibility to take good care of her and guide her well. That's what the word of God taught to us, as a godparent of the children. After the ceremony of the baptism, we already prepared for the continuition of event celebration. As the time counts so fast people in the church is about to be crowded. Not to mean that the members of the church are so many, but because our church is not too big. Visitors are also welcomed to the event. Praising God is one of the most important part of the event celebration. Worship team was very active and on fire to offer their talents to glorify the Lord. They gave their best and all out to make the worship successful for the Lord. Without the praise and worship, the celebration would be incomplete. The congregation was also very excited for worshipping the King π Exactly 30 minutes of the time was consumed for praise and worship. Our hearts and minds filled out with joy and happiness by the presence of God us. Each of the people feel the warmth and embraced of God's unconditional love. After the praise and worship, our guest speaker starts to share the very important message that God prepared to all of us. The word is from ***Psalms 118:29, it says; "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever."*** It means that giving thanks to the Lord is very important, not only in times of goodness and happiness but also in times of hardships and problems. The word teaches us to be always grateful no matter how life is. God remains faithful to us even if we're not. He doesn't need a perfect heart but all He need is faithful to Him. One of my failures in life is about faithfulness. I admit that sometimes I am hypocrite in front of the Lord π₯ It id one of the weaknesses I've struggled so much. But thanks to the word of God, I have reminded and encouraged to be more faithful and truthful to Him βοΈ ***Lunch Break...*** There are different foods that we bring and share. Some brought spaghetti (one of the most unforgettable recipe during Christmas), Caldereta, pancit, adobo, puto, lumpia, and many more. Someone from the church pledge letchon and skin of letchon and sotanghon is my favorite π€€ all of us enjoyed and eaten so much. I'm so hungry that time so I was craved a lot haha. I tried so hard to eat more but my tummy is already full. After lunch break exchanging gifts of the kids started. Each of kids are happy and like the gift they have received. All of them also received a bunos gifts from our Pastor's giveaways for Christmas. We also have our parlor games and everyone participates from young people to the eldest in the church. We enjoyed and had fun every time the participants put the battle into powder. Everybody laughed and shouted because of the challenging game. All of us go home with prices and gifts. Adults exchanging gifts was also done after the parlor games. Everybody was excited to open the gifts and thankful as well. Young people also received towels and blankets for adults giveaways of our Pastor's wife. I am so thankful and grateful to experience the Christmas celebration. It is once in a whole year and the memorable memories are valuable and worth to keep from the heart. This season is one of the most awaited part of the year, to which people celebrate and giving thanks to be part of the year and survive despite of many challenges in life. Throughout the whole year we are blessed to be part of it. ***Let's give love on Christmas day. No hate, just love one another π*** **Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year π** ***Thank you for reading βΊοΈ*** `Date Published: December 29, 2021`

Want To Know About Me? *"Well, being who you are is also about accepting what yourself really is"* By the way, I am just a simple woman, living in the simple world with a simple family. We are six (6) siblings in the family. Two boys and four girls, but sadly our brother and sister were already in another world. It is what we call heaven. I am the fourth child in the family. I'm 21 years old. A second year student in college. Taking the course, Bachelor of secondary education major in Physical Education. Becoming a professional teacher is one of my dreams in life. Teaching is not my passion, it's my profession and goal to help students, adhering to the importance of the teaching profession. Encourage every child and push them to achieve their own dreams and become a better person. By the grace of God, I have been given a chance to continue my study. I don't even know what tomorrow will bring and what circumstances I'll face. Yet, I will strive harder and cheer myself to fulfill this journey with limitless dreams. When I was young, I loved dancing and singing to my favorite song as video-karaoke was on. From elementary to high school, being a dancer was my hobby. Back then, playing was my first impression for the day just as a kid. Until life removed all the innocence in me. My world and thoughts changed and I started dreaming like a mature woman. I also loved playing guitar and traveling to other places. Taking pictures while watching the wonderful views and relaxing myself from stress. By now, I used to sing in our church but still my voice is adjusting to cope up with the hardest part of the songs. If I we're choose, I would prefer to dance than to sing with my ungood voice quality. But then, singing from the heart to glorify the Lord is more important. Love Yourself! Did you experience feeling unloved? I've been there also. I easily get hurt when I feel that nobody cares and loves me. Until now it makes me feel that way either, still choosing and loving myself matters more to me. My mind reminds me to not care about what others may think about me. Even they say I'm selfish or unfair. But for me, choosing to love myself first is more important than anything else. I'm a happy and joyful person. Smiling is the best way I used to escape and hide every pain I've been through. Not showing to others that I struggled a lot more than what they thought I had. Lying is my talent when someone is asking me if I am okay. I always tell them I'm fine and happy, but all lies shut the truth inside of me. Many challenges arrived in my way towards my dreams. I was at the point of giving up and planning not continuing my studies. I struggled for financial support, but I am not blaming my family status. Despite all hardships, I am still grateful and blessed of what God gave to me. All I need to do is to be content with what I have to live this life happily and blissfully. Though many tears may fall to test me from disappointments. By that I will become more bravier to handle it. As of now I want to make a new difference in my life. If I am that kind of lazy before, I will pursue harder and become more active to work hard and build my unlimited dreams. *No matter how tough the situation is, life goes on. Even if we fail again and again, our lives still goes on.* ***Thank you for reading!***
