Sa Panahon ng Pandemya Ilang Pangarap ang Nasira?
Gusto ko lang naman maglabas ng saloobin. At siguro may iba rin na kaparehas ko ng nararamdaman. Magtatapos na sana ako ng kolehiyo ngayong Hunyo kung hindi dahil sa pandemyang ito. Sa totoo lang, gustung-gusto ko na makaalis sa aking pamantansan at magpakalayo, magtrabaho, mag-ipon. Ramdam ko na kasi yung pangangailangan, sa susunod na pasukan ay magsisimula na rin sa kolehiyo ang kapatid ko. Wala naman akong tuition sa kasalukuyan kong pinapasukan, pero yung sa kapatid ko, malaking pera ang kailangan. Nalulungkot akong isipin na kung hindi lang talaga dahil sa pandemyang ito ay makaktulong na sana ako sa pamilya ko. Hindi na sana ako aasa sa kanila, hindi na palamunin.
Ngayon kailangan ko pa ulit bumalik sa pamantasan, isang sem pa. Dahil di talaga kayang magtapos ngayong Hunyo. Natatakot ako bumalik, dahil ang pinapasukan ko ay napakalayo kung saaan ako nakatira. Kailangan ko mag dorm. Isa pang bayarin. Paano ang pag biyahe? Laganap pa rin ang virus, tumataas pa lalo ang nahahawaan ng sakit. Ligtas na ba talagang bumiyahe, umalis, nang napakalayo sa pamilya. May maliit na parte sa akin na ayaw na talaga bumalik. Kaya siguro mas inuuna ko pa maghanap ng part-time job kaysa gugulin ang oras ko sa pang akademikong gawain. Pero naisip ko rin, baka ito lang din talaga ang paraan ko para tulungan ang sarili ko. At least, iniisip ko na lang, di pa ako nawawalan ng motibasyon gumawa ng mga bagay bagay.
Yun lang ang hirap talaga. Mahirap maghanap ng trabaho online. Palaging puno, may waitlist. Yung isa namang napasukan ko pinatigil muna yung mga tabahador. Minsan naiisip ko na mag business na lang, pero maliit na pera lang din ang nasa akin. Wala rin naman akong sapat na pera para sa mga permit na hinihingi. Ang dami kong gustong gawin ngunit parang lahat naman ay talagang napupunta sa wala.
Iniisip ko na lang din, hindi naman ako nag-iisa. Kahit ang mga kasabayan ko ay naudlot din. Yung iba pinanghinaan din ng loob, yung iba naman patuloy na lumalaban. Kasabay ko pa nga minsan magahanap ng online job. Para sa akin, wala namang masama sa mga bagay na ito. Ipinapakita lamang nito na tao, ako. Tao, tayo. Nasasaktan, nahihirapan, pero bumabangon para lumaban. Siguro lang talaga ramdam na ramdam ko yung sakit dahil parang lalo pa akong lumayo sa mga pangarap ko nang mangyari ang kaguluhang ito. Parang naging imposible pa nga.
Pero, ayaw ko mawalan ng pag-asa. Ayaw, ko sumuko. Matatagalan pa talaga bago ko maabot ang mga pangarap ko, pero gusto ko lumaban. Hindi pa ito ang katapusan ng lahat. Tuloy lang ang buhay, hindi naman tumitigil ang daloy ng panahon. Para sa sarili ko, gusto kong sabihin na "Sandali lang." Hangga't may bukas, may pag-asa. May pagkakataon. Higit sa lahat huwag mawalang ng pananampalataya. May mga panahong parang gusto ko na bumitaw, pero iniisip ko na lang na kasama ko ang Diyos.
Sana'y matapos na ang pandemyang ito. Sana ay bumuti na ang lahat. Sana'y wala nang magkasakit. Sana'y maging ligtas na muli ang paligid.
Sa ngayo'y mag-ingat tayong lahat. At kung nakaabot ka sa dulo ng aking isinulat, maraming salamat at maging ligtas nawa.
Legit Paying Crypto Games (June 2020)
Earn some crypto while having fun, and no deposit required!
If you're looking to get some extra Bitcoin or Ethereum in your spare time, you can definitely try out one of these apps:
**Bitcoin Blast**
Bitcoin Blast is one of the most popular bitcoin earning games on the play store. It is published by Bling Financial. It's the usual match-three game where you have to match coins to fulfill a certain goal per level. It's a very well made game and the graphics are fun and enticing. Gameplay-wise, it is easy enough to clear stages, though higher levels may require a few tries to finish. The game uses the Bling Points as in-game currency which corresponds to a certain amount of Satoshi in real life.
The game gives you 103 Bling Points per stage finished. **Note**, **finished. The game rewards you whether you clear the stage or not.** It is easy enough to accumulate Bling Points. The maximum one can earn in a day are around 1500+ Bling Points. Bling Points withdrawal can only be done once every week. The game has a 12-hour countdown timer after you have used up all your available plays for the day. Note that you need to use a **Coinbase wallet** for this app. The app is available at Google Play Store.
*(Bitcoin Blast pays in Satoshis)*
**Bitcoin Blocks**
Another game from Bling Financial, it's a match two type of game where you have to tap adjacent blocks of the same color to clear stages. As this is another Bling Financial game, your Bling Points from Bitcoin Blast will carry over to this game. Same as before, you'll earn 103 Bling Point per level finished. This game is a little harder than Bitcoin Blast when it comes to clearing stages but it's still fun nonetheless. Since your Bling Points are synced, you can cash out from this app or from the Bitcoin Blast app. Again a Coinbase Wallet is required. The app is available at Google Play Store.
(*Bitcoin Blocks pays in Satoshis*)
**Have I earned from the Bling Financial apps?** Yes! I've already finished multiple withdrawals.
**CryptoPop**
A match-two game published by Vweeter Limited the game will have you match different crypto coins (the cryptos matched during the game are for aesthetics only).The game pays out in *Gwei* (denomination of Ethereum). The player can earn a maximum of 1,000,000 Gwei in-game which they can withdraw into their Ethereum wallet. Withdrawals can be made once every three days to avoid, as the game says, spamming.
It's an overall fun game and easy to play, you can earn 10,000+ Gwei in 30 minutes. There is no limit to the number of plays in a day. A **Coinbase wallet** is needed to withdraw. The process is straightforward, you earn Gwei while you're playing a stage. The downside is, the game can be buggy at times and the ads can be a little too much even though it only appears at the end of each stage. The app is available at Google Play Store.
**CryptoWord**
A game reminiscent of Popcap's *Bookworm*, the game will have the player form words by using letter tiles adjacent to each other. The longer the word, the higher the score. While the game is fun enough, the game can get tedious. Although CryptoWord runs smoother than CryptoPop. The game pays out in Satoshis and deposits it to your **Coinbase wallet.** It's a fine app but the amount you get in-game is quite small for the amount of time you'll be playing to save up but you have unlimited plays so if you have some time, give this one a try. The game is published by Vweeter Limited and is available at the Google Playstore app.
**Have I earned from the Crypto(Pop/Word) apps?** Yes! Although I play CryptoPop more often as it is easier to earn Gwei which I save up and withdraw to my Eth Wallet in Coinbase.
**Reminder: While these apps are legitimately paying, they are in no way a reliable source of income and are better used as a past time that lets you earn a few pesos.**
If you have concerns about being able to transfer and convert your crypto in Coinbase, it is possible to transfer them to your Coins.ph wallet so no worries!
