"Shopping"
In this hard times shopping isn't a necessity. The wants will always be excluded especially if the budget won't allow. Mabuti nalang at may pavoucher ng uniform na shoes si company. Di ako mabibigatan sa pagbayad. For this year, converse shoes ang binili ko. Once a year lang po ako nabili at kelangan ko din naman iaward si self ng kahit kaunting maganda sa lugar na pangit. Charot. Hahaha
Grabe ang bilihin parang triple ang tinaas, ang pamasahe nakakastroke na din kaya kung sisipagin ako maglakad, naglalakad na ako papasok sa work. Oh, inflation, kelan ka matatapos? 😅

"Friendship Over"
What happened if someone leave you without telling you goodbye? Iyong ikakasal na siya pero she chose to unfriend you in socmed and worse not talk to you for how many weeks na. At alam mo sa sarili mong wala kang nagawa na kasalanan? Would you still keep that person to your heart or would you let them go? Sa akin kasi, ayoko ng binabalewala ang efforts ko in the friendship relationship, so I'm gonna be choosing to let them go because I know my worth. That is always my principle. If they don't like or love you anymore, then let go. We are all passing people in this world. Walang mananatili ng matagal. So might as well, discover other people who treasures you the same you treasure them.
That's my b*tch mode pala. Naiinis kasi ako doon sa taong yon! Hahaha

"The Christmas Spirit"
Ayan, may decoration na ang office. Ber months talaga ang pagsisimula ng pasko dito sa Pinas. Although di ko masyado feel ulit ang pasko this year eh paunti unti bumabalik sa dati ang feel ng pasko. Malapit na akong matapos sa pinagkakaabalahan ko. Sana naman magkaroon na ako ng mahaba habang oras dito.
Sana'y maging masaya ang araw niyo. Ingat. 😉

"Line up"
That's the line you should go through to enter the famous Roxas Night Market in Davao. Imagine, lining up that long? Sa bahay nalang ako kakain at baka may covid pa diyan. Hahaha.
It's the weekend kaya I guess more people are strolling in the downtown. Iyong pamasahe super mahal na, ikaw kaya, kelan moko mamahalin? Charowt lungs. 😂

"Gabi"
Isang araw na naman ang natapos.
Natapos ng may kabuluhan o nasayang?
Minsan sa dagling pagikot ng orasan, ako'y nag.iisip na malapit na ang katapusan.
Katapusan ng paghihinagpis, ng paghihintay o ng saya.
Ang buhay ay sadyang maikli lamang.
Nasa sa iyo kung bibigyan mo ito ng kabuluhan o sasayangin sa makamundong rason.
Sabi nga nila, ilaan ang iyong oras ng maayos at baka bukas wala ka na or siya dito sa mundo.
Oh, hayan at purong tagalog yan hane. 😂

"Hope"
That is a very powerful word.
Iyong tipong papasuko kana sa lahat ng problema mo pero may pag.asa pa rin kahit papano.
Everyone of us leans on the word hope.
Hope that everything's gonna be okay.
Hope that this sickness will be healed.
Hope that this world will be a better place for the new generation.
Iba iba man ang pinagdaraanan natin pero sa salitang pag.asa tayo palaging kumakapit.
Let's always hope for the best. 😊

"Missing someone."
It's been more than a month that I haven't seen my three neices. Weeks that I disallowed myself to go to there houses. You know, it's just one jeepney ride but I never thought of visiting them. I promised them I'll visit often but failed to do so. My hatred for their mothers, my sisters hindered it. All I want is someone to rely on yet they're the ones pushing me to the edge. I don't know what to do anymore. Our relationship is like a teared tapestry that cannot be sewed up anymore.
Hope you're doing fine this Sunday. Just woke up by the way.

"The love of my life."
We have someone who we treasure dearly in this world. As for me, I love my mama so much. Kahit na may pagkakataon na nasasaktan na ako pero makita ko lang ang ngiti niya, napapawi lahat noon. I hope she'll have more years ahead of her because I really don't know what I'll become if she's not here in this world. Hoping and praying lagi for her good health.
Kumusta po ang lahat dito? Hoping your doing well and fine. Ingat!

It's the birthday of my close friend. I'm grateful to have met this wonderful woman as she's my secret keeper. We have some secrets that even our families don't know, and she's my diary. Charot. Hahaha. Masarap ang buffet dito sa Tong Yang. Worth it sa presyong nakakabutas ng bulsa. Huhuhu. Well, all in all worth it ang foods. So far 3 hours na kami dito. Sulitin ang buffet. 😂

You are valuable because you exist.
Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are. 🌼
So cherish each moment you take and live leisurely. Laugh when you can, cry when you must and miss someone like crazy. Only those who live to the fullest knows what living feels like.
Keep breathing. 😊

"Even the faintiest stars at night means hope in someone's darkness."
A glimmer of hope reflects on a person's attitude in life. Just one glitch of light can make a person go on and still be strong. But what if through all that light, you can still see no hope in it? Can you still go on? Or will you let go? The choices will always be ours. It's for us to decide and for us to hold on.
Busy days is here. I may post not that regularly but will visit you when I have time. Have a nice night. 😀

But for me, it's a sign that my hair needs to be trimmed to prevent hairfall and discomfort with the heat. The heat nowadays is piercing the skin. Don't know if this is still because of global warming or whatnot. Been away for a day because I went to the province.

"Goodbyes doesn't always have to be sad, rather some of it is worth celebrating."
There will come a time that friends will part, workmates find good opportunities, or family will bid goodbyes. In all of this it is right to feel sad. Yet some I think means celebrating especially if its for their own good or for your sake. Change is the only constant in this world. And if so you won't go with the flow in this world, you'll just make it hard for yourself. 😉

Sweets is one of my comfort food. Eating it makes me calm and clears my head on what's the best thing to do. You have the choice to be happy. Always know that your happiness or sadness depends on you. Choose to stay happy cause this world's not gonna be sad for you when you are. 😊

"Birthdays are celebrated to someone who achieved a year older."
However, some people take it for granted. The ongoing cases of suicide all over the world proves that life isn't that valuable to some people. They chose to let go rather than to fight for their lives. I may never accept their reasons of doing the deed but I hope for people struggling in life, to just hold on to dear life for it's a gift from God that only Him can take away.

A Letter | May 15
Hey fighters,
"You'll need to make a bigger decision to let go than to hold on."
Upon reading this passage while watching a kdrama, I suddenly remembered a memory in my college days.
It is normal for a college student to have a crush right? I also have one when I was in high school. But the most lingering crush that I have was when I'm in my second year college. Lingering in terms that he's the only crush I had back then, the whole college years I have. I'm a one woman type.
His name was Jan, an IT student. I'm an education student that time. But we had some minors that we were able to be classmates. I'm always intrigued by guys who were silent, even now, I wanted to know more about him. He seldom talks and even smile. I wanted to see his smile even for a little while. Back then, the haircut he used to wear were from the likes of a kdrama lead, just like Go Jun Pyoo of Boys Over Flowers. It's so popular back then, many tried to copy but some failed to be suitable in them. But as for him, it made him look more the boy next door type. He's not your typical average guy. He's kinda popular in the whole campus, the group he's into. I had heard girls giggling while he passed by the corridors and said appreciations for him.
I'm a silent type, as always. It is okay for me to see him from a distance. I am not showy in terms of the language of love. I prefer to watched him from afar.
There's this one subject that we're classmates and also groupmates. I had known him from there. We bonded as a group, we're five in the group and eventually bonded sometimes as a duo. I had become more relaxed in talking to him, he treated me and I will return the favor of treating him, though he always insisted on paying.
We became close friends, then became like MU or people having mutual understanding or in layman's term in bisaya, murag uyab.
We didn't do the courtship and the normal couple would go through, like celebrating monthsaries and giving gifts and everything. We just decided to be like that. Every end of my class, he's out there waiting for me and then we'll gonna eat street foods like kwek-kwek and just talk anything under the sun. He's also the one who introduced me the street foods for I don't normally eat it, I'm a bit OC in the food I'm taking. So yeah, he's with me in my first bite of kwek-kwek.
Days, months passed, everything went well. But there's this one day, I heard rumors that Jan is dating a third year college nursing student. By the way Jan was one year ahead of me. At first I didn't believed it to be true, but when he showed up holding hands with her in front of me saying she's his girlfriend and introducing me as his bestfriend, I now knew the status we had.
I am the only one who thought we're an item that time. **He treasured me as his best friend but I treasured him as my lover.**
The first month was tough. Trying to appear to be nice and all in front of them. I always cried at night and then smiled in the day. I think I'm going to get crazy.
Summer vacation came and I decided to stay away from him. I cannot moved on when I always see them so sweet. The things he did for me is what he's doing now to her. But come to think of it we never kissed and said I love you. Maybe I'm just blinded by my feelings for him.
I decided to cut off ties, at first he's very angry at me for doing it to him but as I've reasoned out my feelings for him, he grew silent and awkward. I still hoped for us by saying this stupid line, 'Choose between us, is it me or your gf?' You know the answer because I'm still single now.
When I decided to let go and move on, I lost my confidante, my friend, my inspiration. I always pray for his happiness.
Letting go is not easy. It's a very hard decision to make especially if your letting go a very special one. So please treasure someone you have in your care now. You might not know what the future holds.
Till next time.
Hoping always,
NethFidelis
A Letter / May 8
Hey Fighters,
It's a Saturday. A very sunny one. Though I woke up late and hurriedly prepare for myself to work, I managed to enjoy my bathe, eat my breakfast which is fried fish with a boiled egg, and managed to have a little chitchat with my mother. And a little good news to that, I wasn't late in my work which starts at eight in the morning.
I have been doing this routine for nearly five years now. The same repetitive routine that makes me sick of it. I wanted to try something else. I'm tired of sitting in the office eight hours a day and just looking at my window screen the whole day. Haha
Funny how I get tired of it, when in fact its my bread and butter. I am thankful for this job because it quite gave me the convenience to live sufficiently. I had acquired a 100 sq. m. lot that I can call my own. I had bought a memorial lot for the future burial, we all gonna die that's the truth, I'm just being prepared. Haha. I have travelled different places here in the Philippines and now I'm saving for the house that I will built.
I just wanted to live my life now. I am tired of being the good daughter. I wanted to apply as a volunteer in some international charity and do social work. I wanted to explore different races, meet new people and help everything I got for the less fortunate. I have been in talks with my mother about it for quite some time now and I know she doesn't like the idea.
You know, I am the only one single among all siblings. They all have their family they can call their own. I have left with my mother to take care of. My father has been MIA (missing in action) for about nine years now. He abandoned us. I thought family should stick together, but it doesn't apply to us. Maybe that's why I'm still single as of this day. I am afraid to meet someone as irresponsible as my father. I rather live alone than to suffer the same life my mother did.
I wanted to travel again. When this pandemic ends, I will. To clear some negative thoughts in my head and to meet someone new, a place, people, experience. I wanted to have some outlet of my thoughts because I think it will explode soon. (Hint the sarcasm. Haha) That's why I'm writing this letter. Hope you'll read it. Thank you.
Always hoping,
NethFidelis
P.S. I have decided to send letters from now on. This embodies my thoughts on some days. I may not upload everyday but will try to. I have drafts here and there, always in the beginning but never got to the end. Hoping to finish those articles soon. Feel free to message me if you want. Gracias. :)
Ulap
Sa likurang bahagi ng aming bahay nakahiga ako sa damuhan na pinatungan ko ng nakitang karton sa stock room. Maaliwalas ang panahon ngayon. Salungat sa palagiang pag ulan nitong mga nakaraang araw. Baka wala na ang bagyong napabalita na nanalanta sa karatig bayan.
Maraming ulap ang aking nakikita, iba-iba ang hugis. Merong hugis dahon, hayop at kung ano ano pa. Sa mga nagdaang sandali ng aking buhay, marami akong mga naiisip. Ang aking trabaho, mga kaibigan, pamilya at miminsan din ang aking pagkawalang interes sa buhay pag-ibig.
May nakita akong hugis pusong ulap, naalala ko na naman ang kawalang sigla sa aking lovelife. Sa tinagal tagal ko sa mundong ibabaw hindi ko pa kailanman naranasan ang pag-ibig. Those butterfly feeling in your stomach whenever he's near and those skipped heartbeats. Hindi ko alam kung matatawag ba akong abnormal na babae pero meron naman akong mga hinahangaan. Iba-iba, may moreno, may maputi, matangkad, tamang taas, payat o di kaya'y chubby. Wala akong standard sa mga lalaki, talaga lang wala pang nakapagpapabilis ng aking puso tulad ng mga nababasa kong mga romance novels.
Siguro, malaking kontribusyon ng aking pag-iingat sa aking puso ang mga failed relationships ng malalapit sa akin. I have a broken family, matagal ng hiwalay si mama at papa. Ang isa kong kapatid ay maagang nabalo. Ang isa naman ay nagmahal sa isang may pamilya na. Ang isang close friend ko naman ay nakapag asawa nga pero parang walang pagpapahalaga sa kanya.
Sa mga nakita kung pinagdaanan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa akin, siguro doon ko nasanay ang aking sarili na hihintayin ko ang taong nakatakda sa akin sa tamang panahon. Maghihintay ako sa ibibigay Niya. Natatakot akong maling tao ang mapaglaanan ko ng time and effort at sa huli ay magsisi.
May nakapagsabi naman sa akin na kailangan ko din naman sumubok magkipagrelasyon para malaman ko kung paano i-handle para pagdating niya eh medyo may alam naman ako. Pero paano ko gagawin iyon kung hindi naman to tumitibok kahit na kanino. Ang hirap naman magkipagrelasyon ng hindi mo gusto.
Sa lahat ng mga naisip ko isa lang ang konklusyon, maghihintay ako sa kanya. Unti unti ding nawawala ang hugis puso na ulap na sanhi ng mga itinakbo ng utak ko. Talagang maaliwalas ang panahon at ok lang na mahiga dito at tinitingala lang ang langit ng hindi nasisilaw sa liwanag. Sanhi din ng maraming ulap na dumadaan kaya nagmukhang makulimlim.
May nakita akong hugis pagong na ulap, naalala ko iyong alaga kung pagong noong high school. Natutuwa akong pindutin ang ulo noon kasi nawawala at nagtatago pero iyong buntot at paa naman niya ang nagpapakita. At kung pindutin ko naman ang buntot niya iyon naman ang nawawala at ang ulo ang nagpapakita. Ilang minuto ko ring pinaglalaruan ang pagong na iyon hanggang sa sawayin na ako ng ina ko, kesyo pagod na daw ang pagong. Wow, concern siya sa pagong. Hehe.
Ikatlong taon ko sa high school nang buo pa ang pamilya. Masaya kami kahit salat sa buhay. Hindi naman ako mareklamo. Kung anong nasa hapag at anong maibigay ng mga magulang ko kuntento na ako. Pero unti-unting nawawala ang saya. Napapalitan na siya ng nga alitan gabi-gabi ng aking mga magulang. And that's where it all started. That's where everything drifted apart.
Unti-unting nadedeform ang ulap na pagong sa aking paningin. Mabuti pa ang pagong merong sariling bahay na masisilungan at matataguan in times of need. Pero kami ng pamilya ko, tuluyan ng nawasak ng hindi pagkakaunawaan at siguro wala ng pagmamahalang nararamdaman.
Sa pagbabalik tanaw ko sa aking buhay, hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na ako dito sa likod bahay.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto o oras akong nakaidlip. Narinig ko na lang ang sigaw ng aking ina sa loob ng bahay.
"Pherine, umaambon na. Pakikuha ng mga sinampay diyan sa likod at baka mabasa ulit."
Nagmadali akong tumayo at tinupi iyong karton at isinantabi ko muna sa gilid. "Opo Nay." Sagot ko sa kanya.
Pagkatapos kung makuha lahat nag sinampay nilagay ko muna ito sa walang lamang basket na nakita ko. Tiningala ko ang langit. Wala na akong makitang mga hugis ng ulap. Sobrang kulimlim na at lumalakas na din ang pagpatak ng ulan. Pumasok na ako sa loob ng bahay, mukhang magtatagal pa ang ulan. Hindi pa siguro umalis ang bagyo.
"Anak, ano ba ang ginagawa mo sa likod bahay at ang tagal mong naglagi doon." Tanong ng aking ina.
Tiningnan ko siyang naghahain na nang hapunan namin. Tinulungan ko siya at sumagot ng, "Nanonood lang ng ulap ma, hindi ko namalayan na nakaidlip pala ako." Tugon ko sa kanya.
Tumango lamang siya at nagsabing maghanda na at maghahapunan na.

Fear You Don't Own Me
Lyrics excerpt from Free To Be Me (by Francesca Battistelli)
*Sick and tired of being sick and tired*
*Had of much of you as I can take*
*I'm so done, so over being afraid*
*I've gone through the motions*
*I've been back and forth*
*I know that you're thinking you've heard this before*
*I don't know how to say it*
*So I'm just gonna say it*
*Fear, you don't own me*
*There ain't no room in this story*
*And I ain't got time for you*
*Telling me what I'm not*
*Like you know me well guess what?*
*I know who I am*
*I know I'm strong*
*And I am free*
*Got my own identity*
*So fear, you will never be welcome here*
*Take a minute, let it settle in*
*You probably never saw it coming*
*Something's gotta give so I give up you, oh*
*There's no room for you here*
*Yeah, I've had enough*
*No vacancy sign on my heart is lit up*
*In case you didn't hear it*
*Here it is again*
I’ve been listening to her songs lately and all I can say is, it’s very empowering. One of her songs that I want to elaborate its meaning, in my own opinion, is Free to be Me.
It talks on how fear is present in our lives. From the moment we were born to the moment we die, fear is always present. May it fear to take the next step when we were toddlers or fear to say goodbye to our loved ones. Fear is a feeling that is inevitable and its like part of human nature.
There are so many kinds of fear, may it physical or emotional. Fear to be departed by your dying loved ones, fear to be alone in this world, fear of cockroaches, fear in robbers etc.,.
I have one experience when I’m in my middle school that I’m so afraid of being in the second place that I did something unacceptable. I cheated on our 3rd periodical exam. I’ve always wanted to make my parents proud of me so I’m maintaining my 1st honor grades for quite some time. Then, here comes a transferee that I know, can beat me academically. That’s the horrible thing I did that tarnished my reputation.
You know, fear on something or someone can make people do bad, injustice things. If you let fear consume into your senses and whole being, you will get drag into the bottom without you knowing.
As I’ve come to my senses on that day also, I’ve regretted what I did, called the attention of my homeroom teacher and confessed everything. It did create a quite impact on my studies and even relationship with my classmates and teachers. But you know, I’ve tried to gain their trust and respect again by working hard diligently and honestly.
Fear, also is a hindrance on anything that you wanted to achieve. You fear in failure so you’re keeping a safe distance in any risk or opportunity that will become failure. You’ll also lose courage if you let it rule you. If you don’t let fear rule you, you will reach your full potential in anything you want.
Fear is just a feeling created by your in depth emotion. You just have to overcome it to face everything bravely and courageously. As the title says, fear you don’t own me. :)
In every fear you conquer, the more bravery you get in facing this world. In the midst of this pandemic may we be strong to conquer and overcome this stage of our lives. And always remember, our God is greater than any fear there is in this world.
Cheering you always,
LuAmaris / NethFidelis
Unforgivable
My world crumbled
As I look into you
So happy with a girl
That I’m feeling blue
Never felt this before
Hurt is evident in my eyes
Those smile once for me
Now its for another girl
We never ended
You just assumed we are
I never let go
Yet you already decided
I don’t know now what we are
I feel I was left behind
You already moved on
Leaving me all alone
My feelings the same
Does it fades fast for you
Never have I imagined
Ending that way with you
I’ll pick up my pieces
Hoping you’d notice
The pain you created
I wish you’d feel it
When we’ll see each other again
Will I ever be whole again
Smiling with no humor
Looking you two happy together

Differences
Every one of us is different.
From the moment we were born, took our first step, said our first word, how we excelled or failed in our studies and how we live our life, it’s very different and unique from each other.
We may be strong or weak, courageous or coward, sickly or healthy. At the bottom of it we don’t get to choose the personality or body we have ‘cause its innate in us. It’s how the Creator made us.
I personally think that we should understand and think thoroughly about each other to live in harmony and peace.
The world lacks that kind of perspective. People tend to be selfish and lets their own attitude, judgement and opinion to be imposed to others not minding if its beneficiary or okay with them. And in a world where Internet reigns most of the time especially what the pandemic impacted to us, some people spread hate and malicious comments in every social platform. I don’t know if that’s to relieve their stress or they’re just being theirselves, harming those people online that they actually did not know personally. It’s a pity to know those people that’s been harming and making others uncomfortable through what they say freedom to post or comment.
As the slogan that I’ve been reading online, “Think before you click.”, I hope everyone of us would be mindful in everything we post and say in social media.
Conflict arises in every situation and places. In your home, workplace, circle of friends and even neighbors, conflict do exists. We have our individuality that we only have that makes conflict inevitable.
In every hate we receive, lets not reciprocate it with hate also. Try to practice forgiveness and spread kindness always. We have our fair share of ups and downs. Never compare what you’ve been through to what others have been. We are molded differently. Let’s learn from the differences we have for us to be a better person and for someone to make a better example to the next generation.
In every person we encounter in this lifetime, its either we adjust to them or they adjust to us. It’s just a matter of self respect to one another.
Cheering you always

I am Strong but I am Tired
Have you ever felt being tired for no reason at all?
Do you feel exhausted without even doing anything in a day?
Those are some questions in my head right now. I wonder how would I get through this life without being drained by day to day living. I wonder how to cope up with the constant change in my surroundings.
We may feel the same way but for myself, being strong at all times is a bit tiring and even results to a façade to put up in order for me to keep going.
This world needs more than approval, acceptance and even pleases for someone to feel contented. I don’t really conform with these standards but if I don’t live with it, I may be trapped in a situation where I’m alone and scared to face everyone.
Most people I encounter tells me how strong I am. Telling me words of appreciation on how I face every problem calmly. That’s the façade I’ve put up for myself. To be a source of strength and hope to other people. They’ve been leaning on to me, sharing their problems and even being their shock absorbers.
But as you know, strong people get tired also. Not all of them can still continue to be who they are now.
I’ve wrote this because I’ve come across a thought in Pinterest that says: **You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering. – Ernest Hemingway**
People are called to be strong in the midst of surviving in this world. Some failed to keep up and some are just striving to live their life with a purpose.
Don’t forget to tap one person you know that’s struggling right now. Even they show strong personality, there are still instances that makes them get tired and weak. Give them comforting messages and shoulder to lean on ’cause in the end, everything will work out somehow. (**Nankurunaisa**)
Cheering you always,

Poem For You
Tears slowly falling
Wonder what I'm feeling
In this life that I live
Is it worth the pain
I’m feeling down everyday
No sunshine in its way
Is there any hope to believe
That this pain will come to an end
You who caused me this despair
I wonder if you feel it
This dilemma you casted
I wonder if you knew it
I may be of little value to you
But I'm striving to be worthy
So long as I believe in myself
I will overcome this despair
Please stop what you're doing
I’m not that strong to keep going
You may not know my pain
But I will be whole one day again.
Poem by: LuAmaris/NethFidelis
I'm new here. Please be good to me. :)
