November 1 Things People are busy preparing and going to and from the cemeteries. Some already went early. It is a tradition that was faintly passed down to my batch in the cousins-nephews-nieces side. It is mere keeping up the comfortable practice the way I see it. My parents and my aunt was discussing when's the best time to go to the cemetery for us while I am quietly listening to them and calming my introvert self. Part of me would not want to visit the cemetery but also part of me would want to see the happenings, take pictures and yes from where I am sitting and typing, I can only imagine the awesome black and white outcome of the images I can take. Current score between my "stay home self" and my "let's go take pics" self is in favor of the "stay home". It is tough to convince myself sometimes to go out specially when I know there will be a crowd there and I don't have control over the time we stay in the place. But though that is winning, my imagination is already flying to grabbing my camera bag, thinking of which lens to use and if bringing a tripod will be worth it. Let us see in a little while if I go or not. I wonder if this "tradition" is widely observed in the whole of the Philippines. Although I know we have diverse beliefs and stuff, I kind of wonder if the tribal do it, too, at the same time we do? And the same way? Hours after, I am now back from the cemetery. But the crowd is not as I expected it to be. I guess people will mill in later. I helped my aunt and mom lighting up the candles with my 92 y.o. grandma giving instructions. It was a battle with the wind. Also got to "visit" other late relatives. We went home after so will not get stuck with the scheduled parade and other town happenings. Overall, it was a good experience. Less candles this time and lesser friends as well to play and collect melted candles with and turn them into balls of wax. And no I did not use my cam this time just the phone since there are less activity to capture. *"Let's see if this gets anywhere. " This started as a draft. This last part gets to be written first as the disclaimer. So I will type in whatever I remember to type in this draft as my day goes along.* *What is your story?* © Pichi28 | `#ClubBrokeBCH` All Original Content Unless specified otherwise...

@Pichi28

Anyone else using UDEMY or the other online training sites? I remembered I was supposed to continue one of the trainings in my queue but.. lazy is real hahaha... Might do it later tonight instead after the daytime activities.

@Pichi28

It may be scary to some.. But we all know that "google may be monitoring" our whereabouts, right? But I find its location feature quite helpful. specially when reviewing travels... you can check yours in this url : https://timeline.google.com/

Looopdidooo.... Trippy 🥴🥴😂🤣 I suspect that this new antihistamine that I tried... Sends me to crazy dreamlands. Not complaining but the thing is, i cannot remember any dream i had when i took it two days ago. I just got woken up by our car's alarm cutting my suspense-like dream. And while I can still recall, let me list down portions of it. Closing the car windows.. sleeping in that car because i was super sleepy .. Scene changed to me walking down the stairs heading towards a ringing landline phone. I answered "hello" in a normal voice once.... And then a few more "hellos" but using an eerie whisper. I was surprised but then thought it is halloween so it must be ok. If the other party would not answer then i hope I scared them hahaha. Now waiting for sleep. Lets see where my dreams take me again ..

@Pichi28

This is a good reminder, yeah? I read this one from "All is Calm" devotional. Let us entrust our days of "non-productivity" to the God who holds our future and allows us to "rest", yeah?

@Pichi28

a glimpse of beauty when we visited Abra. Kaparkan Falls is not one you can easily get to. But that was back then. I am not sure if goin there is the same today. :)

@Pichi28

Noise up!!! What is your activity for today noisy peeps?

@Pichi28

That is a vibrant strip of rainbow right there. It disappeared just as suddenly it showed up. Cool play of the water droplets and deflection of lights. thank you, Lord for surprises that make us smile :)

@Pichi28

Umagang kay ganda mga igan! Quick drive thru and bfast on the road. I am anticipating multiple traffic buildups along the way. Friday payday to some... Long weekend to most of us. Have a great, fun and safe Friday everyone! Don't forget to hydrate.

@Pichi28

Late lunched on this one while waiting for my turn for a back massage. As per my estimate, i wil be able to finish this just in time to be called back . And as fate would have it, I was wrong. I ordered for coffee to go with my late lunch. And with coffee, waiting and a good food, I felt relaxed. The shop called me I had to move my massage sched. Hehe. I need to take the moment of unrushed coffee time.

UnPacked in 3 Minutes How do you spend your holidays or vacation days? I filed my leave early like two months back for this day. I guess I have to say "thank you" to the management's "weird" resource management tactic. They asked us to plot out our leaves. I understand it is for them to project our productivity and for them to be able to plan as well. While waiting for my turn in the massage chair, I decided to eat late lunch. Yes I loose track of normal time when I am on a break. It is during my days off that J realize I can survive with just two meals a day. That is, provided I don't do a lot of thinking. I decided to eat in a place offering "Filipino food". The last resort would be eating in Jollibee. One main reason is that that place gets packed. Even during weekdays like this. I sat down and long after a waiter took my order, a teenager with a bag full of goodies occupied the table next to me. But she was not there to eat. She extended a gleeful wave of hand to the crew and started chatting me up. The moment I saw the bag, I knew what the kid wants immediately. My instant reaction was to turn down and dismiss conversation but I thought of switching doubts for now. It is sales after all and not asking for alms. She is selling Otap. I have been wondering about what this one is called in English. But I am running out of time. So i let google describe it. I intended to have a conversation. I would like to know the dream I will be helping supporting, right? College student taking up Information Technology in one of the colleges. Her first dream was to take up Hotel and Restaurant Management but the tuition fee is insane. Smart move I guess. I feel a little sad knowing some dreams and plans may not be achievable because of money. Heck I dreamed of touring the world and yet the best I can come up with is visit places using Google Earth (does it still work?) . The kid is a little chatterbox. Not in an annoying way but I guess selling and conversing with strangers have upped her socialization up. Her voice changes or slows down when asked about her family, though. Hmmm. I so hope she will continue with her current IT course and, yes, get culinary training in TESDA after. What are your dreams that are being held back because of lack of money? This is me unpacking my thoughts in a 3-min. Read. Catch ya later again... © Pichi28 | #ClubBrokeBCH All Original Content Unless specified otherwise...

@Pichi28

I can stay up a little bit more but i won't. I may have an early vacation starting tomorrow since i already filed for it hence here i am trying to stay up and make more noise. But i did take an antihistamine and it is now making me feel groggy and very very very sleepy. So i guess i say goodbye for now and good night..

Type on; voice out Have you ever got tired of typing using your phone and your thumb? Sometimes you get the case of having fat fingers your thumb doesn't pick the right letters to type. Also there are some keyboards or keypads on the phone that seems to have a brain of its own. Or sometimes the sensitivity or touch sensitivity of your phone's keyboard is bonkers. You hit letter M but it will seem like your thumb slipped and you hit the letter L instead. Sometimes it is funny but most of the time it is annoying specially when you are typing something very important. I sometimes feel tired of typing. So I make use of that microphone on the keyboard layout: Does anyone know if it has a particular name? or you call it a certain proper way of referring to it? I have tried using it. Though it means i should be able to "type" quickly, it sometimes seems causing me more delays. See below is image of what may title turned out to be when i tried using it. I had to retype the whole thing. There is a certain pronunciation that is not seemingly compatible with its "ear" sensitivity. ***If this was a spelling quiz bee my phone would fail.*** There's a certain adjustment to it as well. Since using the mic means hearing you say the words you are typing. If you are not used to doing monologues this will have a little creepy feel for you. Also, if you are conscious that there are other people in the room with you but you are not talking to them it would be a little awkward. And if you are with people and they seldom hear you say anything in English at all and you start speaking in English they might think you are drunk! After some time i also noticed that this keyboard feature is having a hard time capitalizing my letter i when i referred to me. Hence, that sentence which I will deliberately not edit. Imagine having to go back to each "i's" just to replace them with proper uppercase form. In that you need to type the backspace and replace it with the capital i manually. Sort of defeats the purpose of making you voice out instead of type in what you are going to say. Then again, when you think about it please this feature is of big help for people who have certain disabilities. So that kind of clouds or thwarts my negative experiences with it. I saw this series once. It is where the lead actor is dyslexic so it is hard for him to read i'm not sure about writing but he does use this voice recognition every time he has a paper to write. So his writing software with the text-to-speech function writes his thoughts for him. Ain't that cool. Some people also have difficulty controlling their arms, hands and fingers that working on a computer may become a gruelling task Overall, it is a "yay" for me. I am sure there are better or more enhanced applications in the play store that has a better output for text-to-speech function or voice typing function compared to my phone's default keyboard setup. So would you dare try writing your read article using the voice typing? I am sure you will have fun. Yay or nay? I would like to see improvements for native (or built in) keyboards though. © Pichi28 | #ClubBrokeBCH All Original Content Unless specified otherwise...

I would have taken her/him/it home ... Then again i move around a lot i cannot have a pet again just yet. Unless they cook for themselves, bathe and clean up after themselves... Hahahaha

@Pichi28

Morning croissant (kwasant hahah) ... Eto ang very rich sa butter... As in. Giving in to my craving with a grande cappuccino. Let's rock this hump day shall we?

@Pichi28

Okay I think it is time to rest a bit. Yes just for a bit. I am going to turn into my Netflix cave for now. It seems this rain is not going to stop just yet so I cannot leave the house. Hopefully tomorrow is a sunny day. For now... goodnight friendships! .. Might peek in later again, though.

Writing Distractions I am planning to do a cleanup on my saved articles. See, back in the day (don't think it is too long ago it was roughly just "a year ago), if I find something worth re-reading, going back to, referencing or writing about the same subject, I click the bookmark in their read articles. So most of the articles that were brought up from questions prompts, contests and those that I was tagged in as well are all there. But boy do they pile up. I am clutter magnet so even in that area, there is clutter there. Reviewing articles that caught my attention does give you good idea of what to write. The most recent one that I bookmarked was @LeonaReed activity review. I was thinking I will pick some ideas from her articles, too. I started with the sleep questions. Then midway, I also thought of the Random Words. I remember I had fun doing fiction with those words. So I stopped my sleep article midway. Clicked on "Save Draft" and was about to go to the random words site. But I stopped. I thought of googling something else. In that scenario alone, I encountered two major distractions that I always encounter and might have a more or less 80% contribution as to why I do not write sometimes. ***overthinking | I want this and that in there.. and this, too and that, too!*** I have a tendency to overthink about what to write. I'd get excited and then think of how its flow is going to be and my ending is that I'd stop abruptly. Save the draft. And go do something else instead. I sometimes forget my self-prodding, self-pumping game chant : "Keep typing!" ***second-guessing | will i make it past 3 minutes.. will my brain spill be enough?*** Getting comfortable with simply typing away is not always my ordinary day. There is that part of me that second-guesses if I can fill up the entire "Write" box with at least a 3-minute read. ***image surfing | I can write about this.. oh this too!*** We are familiar with a picture paints a thousand words. And yes they do paint a lot of stories in my head. When stories pile up, my brain freezes with day dreaming rather than typing everything down. Until I'm no longer in the mood to share my thoughts at all. This also happens when I am looking for appropriate lead image. Haha. I have learned and saw that sometimes these images need not to really be related to the article. These are just three. I was going to put in *hesitation* as well but then I got distracted with the very last thing in this list : image surfing. It was not the first during this time that I was writing. Switching tabs and doing multiple things while writing is distraction-trigger. I just got distracted with Google Timeline again and that would be good for another article. I searched a random image in my hard drive and that brought out alot of stories in my head. We have talked about why and how we write. Let's talk about the things that pull us away from our writing workflow.. . Let me know yours! *What is your story?* © Pichi28 | `#ClubBrokeBCH` All Original Content Unless specified otherwise...
