Unconscious Rejection
**Due to the large number of individuals with diverse viewpoints in our society, we are more likely to use defensive mechanisms at some point in time, particularly when we believe we are under pressure.**
In the process of assigning a fancy term to a set of activities and defining them as a defensive mechanism, the public is being misled, and unfounded views are being promoted. To identify psychological defense systems, it is no longer necessary to depend on archaic mythological intellectualization; instead, it is necessary to reduce them to their true essence.
Making a defense for or denying the existence of an idea or behavior acts as a defensive mechanism or means of self-protection for the individual. You may defend oneself by making an effort to making amends for anything you've done or believed that was wrong or bad in the past.
Denial.
Denial is one of the most often used tactics of subconscious. To avoid having to deal with the emotional effects, you choose to ignore or filter out outside events and circumstances. To put it another way, you avoid unpleasant circumstances in your life when you can. Despite the fact that it is intended to be an unconscious rejection of anything unpleasant, it is really an emotional denial of anything, whether it is good or terrible in nature.
Rationalization.
It might be in the shape of a true explanation or an explicit lie, but it could be a defense mechanism on the part of the speaker. A small number of people may attempt to excuse their terrible behavior by presenting their own facts. You will find it less difficult to accept a choice even if you are aware that the decision was made in error. Rationalization is the process of accepting reality as it is or inventing a truth in order to make oneself look better for doing something that is commonly considered incorrect by others.
Reaction Formation.
It is a human nature to produce responses that seem to be in direct opposition to their genuine feelings or emotions. According to reasoning, if you don't like or despise someone, you shouldn't give them any gifts or appear to love or like them in front of others. This defensive mechanism is utilized by individuals who are aware of how they are feeling yet choose to behave in a manner that is opposed to their natural inclinations. It is a protective strategy or denial that seeks to hide or lie about one's actual feelings for another person in public. Reaction creation is a kind of discordant behavior that certain individuals are capable of.
We also have a tendency to create some justifications from time to time. It often occurs when we are humiliated by the present scenario in which we find ourselves. We excuse ourselves due of a variety of grounds, whether personal or constructive in nature, or for other reasons.
There are two sorts of excuses: those that are true and those that are thought up. If it is considered that you are lying about your thoughts or behaviors, you are either lying to yourself or lying to others.
Finally, a few more words:
Defending oneself against emotional stress such as embarrassment, remorse, or concern is accomplished by the employment of a mental strategy that twists or fabricates the facts of one's experience in order to protect oneself from such feelings. Overall, every kind of defense may be characterized as one of the following: an excuse; denial; responsibility; compensation; or a combination of these.
As a consequence, our subconscious minds are responsible for processing these essential defense systems. When we invent an explanation, we refuse to acknowledge or reject, criticize or oppose the origins of these defensive mechanisms, which are often unconsciously altered by a cognitive defense mechanism.

Helping Hands that Mold and Shape Society
I always dreamed of seeing a hero when I was a child. I even reenacted some of the scenes from my favorite heroes before, and as I grew up, I learned that some of these real-life heroes are just around me, and the cool thing is that they do not wear capes.
When it comes to education, it is a great equalizer.
Being teachers, they can be role models, mentors, companions, and more. Teachers bring a human element to the learning process. ***They are an incredible asset*** *because of their interaction, the way to solve specific questions, and the ability to get help from a variety of sources.*
Influences the lives of students.
Clearly, the performance of the educator influences the lives of every learner. An instructor who enjoys teaching and has a great enthusiasm for their students can help their students gain valuable skills and understanding outside the school environment. And as a student who enjoys learning from a great teacher, it is such a great pleasure.
Has significant impact.
Teachers have a significant impact on our ability to succeed in the profession we ought to be in and in business as well. It is the role of a competent teacher to assist us in becoming smarter and wiser and better citizens in society. Students are said to be the country's future, and teachers are well aware of this.
Subtle forces on the act.
They are the subtle forces at work, reshaping life as they go. It is because of their effect on the next generation that they serve as a vital foundation in the process of creating our nation's moral character, responsibility, and ability to contribute.
Shapes values, uderstanding, and abilities of every learner.
When it comes to shaping students' values, understanding, and abilities, it is teachers who are at the forefront of the conversation. When pupils are at their most vulnerable to being influenced, they are targeted for intervention. When children become adults, they should be prepared to pursue their aspirations, passions, and objectives in the future. In addition, students' sense of worth for themselves and their hidden abilities will be reawakened.
Elicits visions and help make a difference.
They elicit visions, establish building blocks, and stimulate actions in order to construct the world of the future. They serve as cylinders for the development of strength, accomplishments, and the expansion of society.
***Teachers are a significant balance between things when it comes to life. They assist in teaching and learning methods, as well as the modeling of appropriate behavior, in order for the learners to have equitable opportunities for success. Indeed, they encourage learners to think about various options for achieving their goals.***
Final Remarks:
Educators' expertise and knowledge allow us to get the best resource possible. With their experience engaging learners, they have always had the effect of bringing out our work with passion and making us prosper. To be successful in school, students need mentors like them who can help them sort out our questions, which teach us about the importance of following through when we have set goals for ourselves.
They are guiding lights that navigate every student towards a great path and are willing to lend their hands to help each and every learner during difficult times because they are the helping hands that mold and shape society.

Sleeping with Wet Hair
I grow up with the advice of my mother and grandmother that I should not sleep with my hair wet.
But is it really a bad idea to sleep with wet hair?
Having heard your mother's warnings against catching a cold from sleeping with damp hair, have you ever taken a late-night bath but you're too exhausted to dry your hair? *Well, these things might happen.*
Occurence of dandruff
Bacteria and fungus thrive in warm, moist environments, such as your pillow and your scalp as you sleep. Your hair's natural oils are also stripped away when you sleep with wet hair since the pillow's fabric quickly absorbs the extra moisture.
Dandruff may form on your scalp as a result of bacterial development and the loss of natural oils. This causes hair to become brittle and drab
You might also have pimples as a result of it.
Acne is more likely to come out if your pillow is infested with germs. Drying your hair before going to bed can do wonders for the health of your skin.
Your pillows may be hiding something from you.
Bacterial growth is accelerated when water and heat are present, as we know. Imagine how much germs would develop on your pillow if you sleep with damp hair. As your head heats the moist pillow, it will become a great breeding ground for deadly germs and molds.
Even if you assume that often switching up your bedding would help, the wetness from your hair has already permeated the pillow.
Damage to hair follicles might result.
Wet hair is more fragile. Leaving your hair wet while you sleep increases the risk of breaking since wet hair is weaker than dry hair. Friction, which occurs as you toss and turn, makes your hair more likely to break than it would be if it were dry. Sleeping with damp hair will make you feel colder, especially if you're in an air-conditioned room or it's the middle of winter.
Maintaining the natural shine is essential.
Your hair's natural oils are absorbed into the pillow's fabric along with the water. Without these oils, your hair would seem lifeless and dry. As a result, hair that is too dry is more susceptible to breakage. Remember that there is a great difference between dry hair and hair that has been stripped of its natural oils.
***A perfect breeding ground for germs and fungi is created when sweat and natural sebum mix together. Moisture levels in the hair are just right for hair to continue to develop and flourish. With an oily scalp, this problem will be aggravated in hot and humid conditions.***
Final Remarks:
If you go to sleep with damp hair, it’s going to dry in some very odd form. When you wake up, you won't be pleased with the outcome of that decision. It will be difficult to get a good night's rest if your pillow is damp from your wet hair. Taking your time to dry your hair is probably worthwhile.
As a result, you'll have foul-smelling hair and a scratchy scalp. So certainly, I would advise against going to bed with damp hair and instead recommend spending the additional time drying it thoroughly.

Importance Of Learning Self-Healing
I think it is important that every person should have some knowledge of self-healing or learn it, in whichever therapy they can best suit themselves to.
There are many forms of Energy healing for which one does not need an expert and can do by self. All of us have the capability to heal by ourselves, it's just getting into a practice and also believing in it. If you do not have that belief in the first place that you have the power to heal your own self, then you will not be able to.
Some of the simplest ways of self-healing is doing Affirmations, I have found a lot of strength in it, and if you keep it as a daily practice, you will see how your energies will elevate to higher vibrations. This is the first thing I recommend to anyone who is struggling to clear blockages. Meditation and Yoga are also very powerful tools to self-healing. Needless to say, it brings ample benefits and can be done by self without much training. For Yoga it is better to do it under guidance.
There are some other Healing therapies also, which one can learn and use in day-to-day life. These are some very powerful ones, which I also use on my clients regularly and then motivate them to learn so that they do not need to keep coming to me and can do it by themselves.
Healing through Commands and Pendulum Dowsing - This is my favorite. Pendulum Dowsing is one practice that I master in and I am in the process of writing a book on it. If all goes well, very soon I will be able to publish it. Pendulums dowsing with commands is powerful and it also shows one if there has been improvement or not. Through this technique one can actually monitor the improvement and it's not where one does it and then keeps wondering if it has worked or not. This technique also gives information about the levels of health of a person and whether progress is made or not. But again, there is a lot of effort and practice that goes into learning this therapy. And you build up on it with time. From the time I have started with this practice till now which has been more than 6 years, I have observed how it has developed and taken me to higher levels of healing.
The other technique I find useful is the Donna Eden - Energy Medicine Tools. Her methods are body tapping and other hand techniques in opening up the body energy pathways. I have not learned in depth, but I have some decent knowledge around it and can say that it is a very useful technique.
Crystal Healing is also a technique, but I am not mentioning it because it is not easy to do it by self, and best done by an opposite person, a trained healer.
Reiki also can be learned and be used for self-healing; I have learnt but never put to use much. I always like to compliment my therapies with each other for best results and they work wonderfully when integrated with each other.
Learning Healing therapies does help one a lot and they are tools to enhance our spiritual evolution, but one has to remember that they cannot take away your challenges. They will be there but when we have these tools and know how to use them, we have a better understanding of dealing with our challenges and also bringing in soothing energies with conscious efforts to minimize the impact of the troublesome situation.
Our Diet is also one of the best Healing therapies, what we feed into our system directly impacts our physical health and not only that but our mental wellbeing also. If one practices a healthy clean diet then you will find that the mental emotional wellbeing of that person is also very high and strong, against those who are in a practice of unhealthy foods and lifestyle.
One thing for sure, no one can heal you if you are not ready and not willing to, it is an internal job, a healer can only trigger your ability to heal but they cannot heal you unless you are not ready and willing to heal. If you go to a doctor and show resistance, the medicines and treatments that he will prescribe may take a long time to show its effect.
Even after one goes through all the inner work there will be times when one suddenly feels low, out of balance, stuck with situations but in such times the inner voice will be loud and clear and one needs to be sensitive about listening to their inner voice.
If one learns healing therapies or if one is doing healing work does not mean all problems end there and the person will be able to deal with anything and everything. There will still be times when help will be required. Energy work is sensitive and it needs a lot of open minds as well. It is very rightly said, we have everything within us we need to heal our-self.
When We Stop Rejoicing Life
In the Shamanic society it is said, if you visit a Shaman with any physical or mental health issues, the first things that they would ask you is?
**When did you stop dancing?**
**When did you stop singing?**
**When did you stop being enchanted?**
**When did you stop laughing?**
*So true, right, put a thought around this?*
I come across many people who are in depressed state and the one thing common that I see in them is that they have stopped enjoying life, they have stopped being with friends, they do not see beauty in nature, they do not find fun in any part of life. All they can see is problems everywhere. They do not enjoy being with friends either, they feel that the whole world is against them.
When we stop being happy and rejoicing life our energies drop and we start attracting negativity in life. When we are upset about anything and at that time if we put on some music, the whole mood changes. Music is believe to be one of the best healing therapies. The same goes for dancing. Any form of dance uplifts the energy. When we dance the body sets into motion, no matter whatever form of dance but the body sways and this clears the energy at physical and etheric level.
When we laugh and are in high spirits it is said that all the chakras at that time gets perfectly aligned. Life is beautiful we need to admire the little things around and feel enchanted, feel amused like a child. Spending time with friends in joy and laughter makes us feel rejuvenated. Being in the frequency of Love and Gratitude brings a lot of satisfaction to life and these frequencies can be experienced only when we are in happy and contended state.
There is never going to be a perfect life, but yes, we can have a happy life by setting the right intentions, by setting the right thoughts and by being grateful for whatever life has to offer us. Contentment brings satisfaction and satisfaction brings joy. We need to find the comfort in the sweet territory of our own silence. Problems will be there, but a stable mind will be able to find solutions also easily and will be able to sail smoothly through the problems. The frequency of Love and Gratitude attracts Abundance in every way.
Do not stop yourself to be happy, find excuses to rejoice with friends, let yourself go lose and shake it up, listen to those favorite melodies of yours and you will see how beautiful this life is. It is a one chance in this realization, and we need to make the most of it by being joyful and loving.
Gone Dog Gone
You'd be forgiven for mistaking this dog sitting on our new rug, in our newly renovated lounge as the one my family had, as it is almost identical, but it of course isn't. We lost ours just before Christmas last year, but we are dogsitting for one of my colleagues and will have this little, old girl with us overnight, while its owner moves home.
He came a couple hours ago and while still sniffing around to get his bearings, he is calm and seems to be settling in nicely. I do miss having a dog around and home feels more homey when there is a dog on the carpet, snoring away gently. These wire-haired dachshunds are great dogs too, as they are so well-natured and tend to have great personalities that connect well with people and, are fantastic with kids. She is struggling a little on the painted floors though.
A little disruption in the house can be a good things and as they say, *a change is as good as a holiday.* While I have had time off, I don't think I have really had much of a holiday for a couple years now, even though there has been a lot of change in that time. I guess the saying should be more that a *positive change* is as good as a holiday.
What is positive and negative can be tempered by time though, and there can often be a flippening between the two, where over time, the positive switches to negative or the negative moves into the realm of positive. Distance brings the possibility for perspective and reflection, and this can come through *time* or *space* distance.
Being away from a situation or a person can bring clarity to the conditions of when we are immersed into them. *Distance might make the heart grow fonder,* but *out of sight, out of mind* is also possible, or we discover that when we are out of the circumstance for a while, we ourselves change - *for better or worse.*
However, sometimes when we imagine a situation from a distance, we might have our opinions about it, but our perspective might not have the detail necessary to really make an informed appraisal. It is like looking at someone else's life and saying "I would..." without actually knowing all of the circumstances that *would affect* what we *would* do.
We are very good at imagining how something will be in our future and how it will make us feel yet, we aren't very good in general at accurately doing this. While we used past information to predict the future, we also don't take into consideration all of the other aspects that can affect outcomes, with us having very limited visibility on many of them. this means that while we do feel that we are considering the future well, we aren't actually building an accurate representation of that future, meaning the decisions we make are based on erroneous information.
And often, the decisions we make that carry the most risk are the ones that are the hardest to describe and imagine due to the uncertainty and complexity. For example, the feeling of a breakup at 15 years of age might be used to predict the feeling of a break up at 30, but that early experience was in a far simpler ecosystem, whereas later, there are potentially finances, property ownership, children and other factors that come into play. Yet, we often make our decisions today on past experience, without recognizing we are importing that experience from a vacuum and releasing it into the wild, where it is going to be subject to a range of pressures it has little to no experience with.
By predicting the future and imagining we are correct, it is common then common to build expectations attached to what we have envisaged. This opens us up to the potential for misalignment of what we have prepared for and perhaps feel entitled to, and the reality of what actually is. For example, back in the 90s there were a lot of courtroom drama shows and many people were influenced into becoming lawyers because of it. What they imagined themselves doing was screaming "I object" in a court of law, but the reality is that most lawyers spend their time as a desk with a stack of papers, never seeing the inside of a courtroom at all.
We build these mental ideals of our world and when reality doesn't match up, we can become disappointed, disillusioned and depressed. Not only this, in that idealized world we have built, we have imagined ourselves as being capable to handle it and when reality rolls round, we can find ourselves lacking, chasing, stressed. We might be able to survive still, but that doesn't mean our experience is going to be positive.
But looking back, those experiences in hardship might actually be what made our lives worth living at all, as they are poignant reminders of what we have faced and overcome. It might not be enjoyable to feel the pains of our past, the regrets and shortcomings, but there can be *grace in failure* when we acknowledge our own winding road, the adventure we took in life and all the scrapes, bruises and scar tissue we have collected along the way.
We are lazy by nature and we cut the corner and take the path of least resistance as often as we can, even if it leads to more hardship. This also affects the way we predict the future, for as we build our narrative of how things are going to be, we include information to support our ideal and omit information that is inconvenient to our imagined truth. Ultimately, this leads to degrees of incorrectness, but no one is ever going to be completely right, unless they view components in a vacuum - something many do when they say "I told you so".
The only way to predict the future is to create it, but our actions create our future all of the time. This means that the only way to create that future we have predicted, is to make it exactly as we have imagined it - an imagination that is based on poor memories, imperfect information and a desire to create ideals. This means that while trends might improve our accuracy in prediction, the future itself is very unpredictable in detail.
This means that at least from a personal perspective, we are all going to always face a spectrum of disruption in our lives as our expectations aren't going to be completely met. Dealing with this is one part of life we can't likely ever avoid, as is facing the fact that we are all, always wrong - but how wrong we are might vary a lot.
Like a dog's life, it is easy to act on instinct alone, but as our instincts are experience and past based, they aren't always going to illicit the best response for circumstances, as they are only going to act on the patterns they recognize, and the fear of what they don't. But what about all of the information that they never become aware of at all?
Yet we are told - listen to your gut.
Act Of Suicide Is Not Justified
September 28, 2021.
2 days ago one of my friend called up and he was in utter despair. He has been going through some challenging times specially in his relations and then he does something that none of us ever imagined. He attempted suicide by trying to slit his wrist artery. He send me his picture and it was very disturbing for me. At that moment I did not tell him anything, I was calm and I only wanted to show care, because as it is he was in depression. But a day later I did get angry on him and told him that his act was not at all justified.
When someone attempts suicide they do not realize that how much trauma they cause to their family and friends as well. Life is a beautiful gift and so precious, there is nothing worth to end up life just abruptly and that too my comiting suicide. However worst the situation is, there will always be some way out. In his case he has been going through relationship issues. He was married and got separated from his wife and then he was in another relation. His weakness is he is not able to commit to one person and he keeps getting into wrong involvements. Some mess happened with his girl friend and he did not understand how to tackle the situation. He was scared to confront and that's why he thought this was an easy way.
Knowing him, he is a very successful business man and over the years with his hard work and dedication built up his own business. He has 2 wonderful kids, I feel he has all that a person would desire and still in his mind he is so restless. Did a lot of counselling for him and he does accept that it was his fault and that he will never do such a thing again.
How can people take their life so loosely. I was annoyed with him and at the same time feeling sorry. I can understand that people who take such actions, somewhere their mind is not in their control and they take such irrational steps.
No matter whatever the situation in life is, however bad it has gone, but if we ask for help there will always be some way out. There will always be someone who can come to our help and one should not think of ending the situation with the act of suicide. It does not only bring pain to the one comiting suicide but also a lot of pain to their family members. On a daily basis there are suicide cases that we get to read about. What the families of those must be going through, it must be such a trauma to them, specially if there are small children. It would be a life long impact on their mind and probably in future if they are also faced with some tough situation of life they would think of taking the same step of suicide to deal with the situation.
He send me some injury pictures, but I do not want to put it up here as it may be disturbing for some people.
It is just that one weak moment which drives us to take such a drastic step, if that weak moment is contained then one will realize that it was never so serious to think or do such a thing about ending life. If there are problems in life, one should talk to their loved ones without the fear of being judged. Our loved ones, family members, friends are there as support systems for us. Our lives are designed in such ways that we become support system of each other. Sometimes it is just lack of communication which creates distance between us and others and then we feel that we are alone, there is no one who understands us, no one who can help us. But that's a wrong ideology of the mind which grows up with time and isolates us from others. One should not shy off to take help if one feels depressed, low, sad, but should never think of suicide. Sometimes the matter is so very insignificant but it has been blown out of proportion in our mind, if we take help at the right time, we will understand that it was never so complicated.

Book Knowledge Or Experimental Learning?
September 28, 2021.
It is very rightly said that "Experience is the greatest teacher of Life".
What we can learn from going through a situation in life, we can never learn enough by reading. I have met some great people in my life whose educational background has been very limited but still they are so much more knowledgeable then compared to someone who has loads of degree and that comes from the very reason that the person has lived life in depth going through varied experiences of life and that's what makes the person wiser than the one who has loads of degrees.
While I am not saying that the books, we read have no relevance, it also teaches us but not with the same depth that a real-life situation and experiencing can teach us. Books are majorly a reflection of thoughts of other people's experiences and not our own. When we live something, it brings a deep impact on our lives.
Books give us wisdom and Experiences give us an understanding of that wisdom. The real-life situation will test our endurance, patience, will power, our capabilities, whereas the books will give us some sort of a structure to follow. Just for e.g. a person who is addicted to smoking, no matter how much ever the person has knowledge about how smoking can be harmful, still it will be difficult for the person to quit smoking, but when the person goes through some health issue because of smoking, that is the time the person will realize how actually it is harmful and will quit smoking. It is also like reading about a place in a book and seeing pictures of the place compared to actually visiting the place and exploring it in real. There is so much more value to it then, and the place would never be the same as read in a book.
I always enjoy talking to people who share real life experiences because that's where the true knowledge comes from.
At the same time, it is also not possible to learn everything from experience, because we will have limited experiences in our life time and not that we will be going through all the life situations, hence book knowledge is also important, because it prepares us for all the possibilities. It gives us a better understanding of life and it also gives us more exposure to parts which are not in our field.
Both are important in their own ways. Other benefit of reading books is also that, when we are going through some difficult situation in life, which is beyond our understanding and capacity to deal with, if we have read some books with that type of knowledge, it will empower us to tackle the situation well and we can be in control and the lessons learnt from that will hold much more value.
To conclude I can say that Books give us Knowledge and Experience gives us Lessons. The lessons that we can never forget. Where learning is concerned, that never stops in life, whether it is through books or experiences, we keep going through it.

Not all Hard Work Pays off
September 8, 2021
***Why are our farmers poor?***
Philippines is a self-proclaimed agricultural country. It gloats its richness of natural resources. It takes so much pride of its wide plains and verdant lands yet the people who nurture and nourish those soils are sinking of poverty. As I look over the bright, green fields in front of me, I could not help but ask the farmer why. Why are they not the richest ones when they are the ones providing the whole country our food?
I asked the farmer about their issues. And I realized how cruel the system of things are. Because of poverty, the farmer have always faced the problem of lack of capital. There are no enough money to use initially in farming. With the lack of capital, it is difficult and even impossible to purchase the needed inputs. The prices of agricultural inputs, such as seeds and fertilizers are increasing. The farmer, with his lack of capital, cannot afford to buy these high cost inputs. In tough times, the farmer resorts to loans and credit he struggle to pay because the profits in farming are not always rewarding. This results to falling into debt and continue the cycle of poverty. They keep going back to their poor state and keeps getting worse.
The more I listen, the more I feel hopeless of the situation. Many like do not legally own their land. The farmer depends on renting. They keep relying tenancy or contract-growing arrangements to which I thought was so u fair. It is like becoming a slave or a laborer with no control of the crops he is working hard to grow. Isn’t it cruel to work so hard in a land you don’t own and receive compensation you can not fully possess? Moreover, The quality of the land he farms is also deteriorating. Because of the heavy use of chemicals, soils become less unhealthy make it harder for farmers to till. More and more problems keep arising. You will wonder how much are they working hard, things does bot go well.
With the helpless and unfortunate state of our farmers, most people now are not interested in farming. Farmers struggle to find helpers needed to farm. There are not enough people to employ, unlike before. There is shortage of labor. The farmer struggles with high cost of labor demanded by some helpers he invites. Sometimes the laborers are not motivated to work and prolongs the period of time in labor. Some of their workers are not efficient enough. Cruel, isn’t it?
One painful problem of farmers is that they lack knowledge and education. Pursuing new agriculture methods are unimaginable for them. The farmer admitted to be lacking in knowledge about this area. Majority of the farmers are not educated and they do not know how to start nee technologies in this because of lack of awareness and knowledge.
Truly, it is a wheel of hardships that keeps spinning. Our agricultural sector, especially our farmers, are in the state of helplessness. Many of us does not even want to continue our tradition of farming anymore. Because who would even want to work so hard for something that will not even give you fair outcomes? The fact that calamities like typhoons keep destroying us makes farming more risky. Yet, we should not abandon this sector.
Closing Thoughts
Our government has the authority and the resources to make things better. Our food security lies on how productive and progressive our agricultural sector is. What we need are sound policies and immediate implementation of those policies. It is high time our higher-ups to see the needs of our farmers. They should focus on it rather than giving the sector bare minimum attention. It’s been so long since we have been telling them to help our farmers more. But we should not stop calling them out. Keep demanding so that every farmer will receive what they deserve.

Of Adjectives and Hyfalutin Words
August 31, 2021
Writer: Stories4u
A wonderful night to you my readers. With excitement and happiness, I am here to share a new article from me. It is all about describing a city. So if you are interested, we will start now with a question.
How would you describe your city?
***The community that we belong to is not a city but rather a town.***
A city is known for more advance and bigger community while a town, on the other hand, is an ordinary place which is smaller than a city. Our town or municipality is named Santo Domingo and belongs to the first district of the province of Ilocos Sur. It has an area of 55.49 km2 composing of 36 barangays and is considered as one of the municipalities having the greatest number of barangays in the province.
Sto. Domingo had great developments over the past years but unfortunately slowed down since the start of this pandemic Our town is filled with different places that tourists, local or foreign can visit, like beaches, mountains and falls. It has made a lot of progress and has been receiving a lot of recognition nationally. Lately, we’ve been awarded as one of the best third-class municipalities which made our town to earn reputation and good image.
***Here is another question to be answered.***
What is your city known for?
Our town Santo Domingo is known for its old moniker “Paggapuan ti Santol ti Domingo,” an Ilokano term meaning “The source of the Santol sold every Sunday.” Even before the 20th century, people have been celebrating the feast of the town by decorating santols around jeeps or any other vehicles used in float parade.
This has been the culture for years and santol has been selected as the One Town One Product (OTOP). But in the latter, it has been changed to squash as the OTOP. Now at the present, our town’s OTOP is squash and many products are made out of it with squash noodles as one example. And now, we are known as one of the most improved and developed third-class municipality in the country. Thus, the town continues to aim higher and to be more developed.
***The last but not the least question is here.***
What makes your city a global city?
Sto. Domingo is a global city/town because we accept and encourages tourists to come and visit our place. Being a global city means known to local and foreign countries. As a developing town, we strive to be more developed in order to make our town enjoyable and fun for tourist, local or foreign. Our town also accepts international trades and foreign businessmen to start business here.
With this, it will boost the progress and development of the town to make it more active globally. With the determination of the people to participate global and the continuation of the good leadership and governance of the town, it will be a great help in making our town a more global city.

The Beat of its Meaning
August 30, 2021
Writer: Stories4u
The song “Walang Natira” by Gloc 9 has a pleasant tune and I liked it the moment I heard the beat. This song made me feel all the heartaches and griefs of the OFWs, their families who was left behind and the countrymen.
It was like, I was part of it too and it made me realize so many things. Gloc 9 was right when he said that our country has good manpower but they appear to be going gone, leaving the country and going abroad. They are Filipinos but they are working for other people when they should be here giving their services for the country.
The song says, ‘Lupa kong sinilangan ang pangalan ay Pinas, ngunit bakit parang puno na ang prutas ay pitas” because our country is like a fruitful tree but the fruits are nowhere to be found, they already left the land where they were born and raised. We are known for being hardworking and smart but the benefit is going for other country and not ours. But what can people do when it was the only choice they have.
They can’t just watch their family starve and do nothing. People was left with no choice but to work miles away even if there are many uncertainties, even if it means leaving their family because they just want to provide food in their family’s table, clothe them and send their children to school. There are no local employments here and no opportunities unlike abroad. I watched so many articles, documentaries and stories of people who tried to work abroad. I watched the struggles they went through just to secure a job abroad. They need to borrow money, sell their properties, etc. just like in the lyrics, (Isasanla ang lahat ng kanilang mga pag-aari, Mababawi din naman yan ang sabi pagnayari, Ang proseso ng papeles para makasakay na sa eroplano, O barko kahit saan man papunta) They have sacrificed a lot but ended up being abused, famished, deprived or worse killed.
They endured all the exhaustion, hunger and violence, that sometimes end their life and instead of them going home to their families, it was their corpse. What’s worse is that they will get no justice at all, leaving their families with manipulated stories and endless questions and wonder what did went wrong, (Gugutumin sasaktan malalagay sa piligro, Uuwing nasa kahon ni wala man lang testigo).
Their children who were left here grew up without their parents at their side, feeling envy towards other kids who celebrate special occasions with their parents and feeling the warmth of their touch. Some even end up loathing their parents, blaming them for leaving but it wasn’t their fault because they want nothing but to give them good life.
**Closing Thoughts**
This song, in general had touched my heart in many ways and made me feel grateful for so many things. I may not be in a rich family but I am grateful that I have my parents at my side. I may not have those gadgets, branded clothes, chocolates like other kids but still lucky. Nothing can compare to the love and sacrifices of parents for their family. OFWs are not just simply “mga kasambay,” or “mga walang pinag-aralan” because they are more than that. These two songs made me appreciate them and look up to them because they are fighters. Life is really hard with all those unforeseen events and struggles that we are going through and will go through. I wasn’t into these genre of song but it wakened my consciousness to this reality and made me look at the brighter things.

Normal na sa ating buhay na makaranas tayo ng iba’t ibang sakuna tulad ng mga bagyo, sakit at iba pa. Sa pagdating ng mga ganitong sakuna, hindi natin maiiwasan ang pagkawala ng mga bagay na mahalaga sa atin hindi lang kundi at maaaring pagkawala ng mga ating mahal sa buhay. Ngunit sa hindi natin inaasahan, palubha ng palubha ang mga dinaranas nating sakuna, na mas malakas pa kaysa sa nakalipas na mga taon.
Sa kasalukuyan, isang sakit ang ating dinaranas hindi lang an gating bansa kundi maging saang lupalig ng mundo. Corona virus disease-2019 o mas kilala sa tawag na Covid-19, ito ang pangalan ng sakit na kasalukuyang dinaranas ng mundo. Ang sakit na ito ay nagsimula sa bansang China at kumalat sa ibang ibang lugar maging ang ating bansa.
Dahil sa banta na dulot na ito, ang mga lider ng bansa ay nagpatupad ng mga iba’t ibang alituntunin para mapigilan ang sakit na ito. Sa ating bansa, an gating pangulo ay nagpatupad ng Enhanced Community Quarantine o ECQ buong bansa. Kaagapay ng ating pangulo sa pagsugpo ng sakit na ito ang mga tinaguriang frontliners upang maprotektahan tayong mga backliners at kailangang sumunod sa mga utos ng pangulo. Sa unang lingo ng pandemic na ito, mga pinuno sa mga lugar ay nagpahayag ng kanilang tulong sa pamamagitan ng mga relief goods, maging ang iba’t ibang personalidad ay nagpahatid ng kanilang sariling tulong sa kanilang mga kababayan tulad ng bigas at makakain.
Ang ating pamahalaan naman ay nagtalaga ng isang programa na tinawag na Social Amelioration Program o SAP o mas tinawag na ayuda, sa pamamagitan nito ang pamahalaan ay nagpapamahagi ng pera bilang tulong sa ating kababayan. Ang pahayag ng pamahalaan sa atin, tayong mga Pilipino, dapat ay magkaroon tayo ng disiplina at sumunod sa mga alituntunin upang mas mapabilis ang pagpuksa sa naturang virus at magkaroon na tayo ng mapayapang pamumuhay.
Alam nating lahat kung gaano tayo maapektuhan ng covid-19 kapag tayo ay nahawaan nito. Kailangan lang natin mag-ingat sa araw-araw, ugaliing maghugas ng kamay at mag alcohol, at kapag tayo ay lalabas magsuot ng mask at umiwas sa mga matataong lugar. Matuto tayong sumunod sa utos ng pamahalaan upang tayo ay makaiwas at maprotektahan ang ating mga sarili maging ang sarili nating pamilya.

**First thing first, it is so good to be back.**
While I was away, I already expected that I my notification bell is filled with thousands of notifications. Well, it did happen. It was so red. My question now is, is there a button that could marked them all? Also, I've got a new milestone, yehey!
Here are what I brought since I am back. Let us start with **kamias**.
As you can see guys, it is filled with fuits. In fact, this kamias tree seemed to have unlimited bunga since it is always luke that. Do you know tha this is what we use in foods like sinigang? Yes, and mapapaasim kilig ka rin.
**I also have a hugot!**
Yung todo papansin ka noon pero hindi ka niya pinapansin. Ngayon nagpapapansin pa rin pero sana mabigyang pansin na rin ang munti kong hiling. Mr. R baka naman hehehehe.
Anyway, I should work hard the way others do because this is the best thing I could do to save the world ang humankind. (Congratulations candidate number ewan.)
No puns intended. Just jokes that are corny, char!
**Do you know aling Marites?**
She is very friendly! She has lots of friends in the baranggay. Talk here, talk there. They talk everywhere.
She always has a new news! She is the source. Simetimes not enough, sometimes more than enough. She put twists to make it more attractive to ears.
She satisfies all ears that are itchy for some news, I mean gossips.
**Here is a quote also that may inspure you as well.**
*As mentioned by Jonathan Lockwood Huie, "Stand Tall, Stand Proud.*
*Know that you are unique and magnificent. You do not need the approval of others."*
Be you and be confident. You own your body and it is not theirs to humiliate and make fun of. You are beautiful inside and out and their validation is not needed because you are enough and beyond beautiful.
Hayaan mo silang mainggit. Sabi nga nila, kapag inggit, pikit.
**Bonus**
**If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?**
If I had three wishes, I wish to remove all the sickness we have, I wish to have world peace, and lastly, I wish to be rich. These are my wishes, and if you want to make a contradiction with it, make your own wish. Anyways, if you are given the same chance, what would you wish for?
***Now, what is yours?***

If We are Economists...
Just imagine we are Economists.
Today, let us go into the world of Economic Development. It is something serious to talk about, but this article is made more straightforward to understand for everybody.
One time, Sam Harris quoted:
Human well-being is not a random phenomenon. It depends on many factors - ranging from genetics and neurobiology to sociology and economics. But, clearly, there are scientific truths to be known about how we can flourish in this world. Wherever we can have an impact on the well-being of others, questions of morality apply.
Without even digging deeper into economic development, I already know that its role is exceedingly vital to society. As a student, I need to understand how the world works, specifically, the government, the market, the businesses, and the people around me, as these are the real things that I should deal with, especially that I am getting older. All those mentioned above build the economy; we are all part of it. The economy comes in different aspects, and these aspects need to work all together to capacitate and improve everyone's standard of living. My knowledge takes me back to my past subjects related to this— and as far as I can remember, it is firmly concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of products and services. Therefore, the economy is also associated with resources and how these are being allocated. Economic development, our subject, may open our minds to different systems encircling the economy and enlighten ourselves to the changes that happen in our market like inflation and such. It also centers on understanding the supply and demand and the factors affecting it. Economic development is complex; it exists not only in our country but internationally. Each country performs various strategies in facing economic issues and pursuance of growth or progress that will also help attain the goal of our global economy.
Given that economic development is intricate, I hope to learn more about the process of attaining a sustained life for each individual. I guess aiming for a well-developed economy is the same as reaching a sufficient wealth for everyone, which is enough for acquiring basic necessities.
Having that means it will serve a proof that we have a healthy economy. It will show that businesses are profitable, people are working sufficiently and effectively, resources, either enough or limited, are appropriately used, investments are going in the right direction, good leadership beside, and opportunities open up to the society.
This is an essential subject because aside from the fact that this is in line with the corporate jobs that we are aspiring to have, having sufficient knowledge could drive us to make decisions either economically or as a single individual in our society. Economic plans could either make or break economic growth. Hence, everything must be scanned and understood deeply, underlying issues must be dealt with, and all factors must be considered.
Like what has been said, we are part of society, and we should do our utmost part. Moreover, I hope that no matter how extensive economic development is, it will presented to us in the simplest form so that we’ll be able to catch the knowledge and perceive all the information needed.
We should even about economic development, knowing that your role is extremely important to society. Economic development is our theme. It can open our minds to the various systems surrounding the economy and inspire us to understand market changes such as inflation and the economy. Each country implements different strategies to solve economic problems and achieve growth or progress, which also helps achieve our global economic goals.

3/23/2021 The Day You Say This is It!
Good day, folks! Today is Tuesday and it is a sunny day. I feel motivated to write an article early this morning and I hope you may find it good. The sun is now shining above and I can feel its scorching heat. Summer in the Philippines can really be felt now.
This is the day you say this is it, and I challenge you to pick one from the following questions below and answer them truthfully. You can answer them with a few words if you wish.
**If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?**
If I had three wishes, I wish to remove all the sickness we have, I wish to have world peace, and lastly, I wish to be rich. These are my wishes, and if you want to make a contradiction with it, make your own wish. Anyways, if you are given the same chance, what would you wish for?
**What would you rather throw away: love or money?**
Oh, this is such a hard question. But if I will choose between the two, I will choose to throw away money and give it to my family (there is no definite rule so I can say what I want, lol). The reason is that money cannot buy love. It can be felt, not given easily.
**What's the most beautiful place you've ever seen?**
The most beautiful place I have ever seen in person is the view of Calle Crisologo. I am proud to be a Bigueno, and I love the place where I came from. When everything goes back to normal, please visit Vigan City because it is such an excellent place to visit.
**What was your fondest memory of high school?**
Well, there are lots of good memories of my high school life. But for me, my fondest memory is those times where we are joining the contest. No matter we win or lose, I always go home happy and proud because having the chance and experience to be there is already enough to call myself a winner
**What's your favorite tv show?**
So far, my favorite TV show is ***The Lost Recipe***. Promise guys, this is one of a kind show. You can watch it on GMA News TV every weekday from 8:00 pm. It is a fantasy, with a touch of romance and a bit of comedy. Chef Harvey and Chef Apple really have chemistry, and it is very likable.
**What's the most peculiar thing in your refrigerator?**
The strangest thing in our refrigerator is that when it contains nothing, lol. Yes, we have a fridge, but we don't use it since we have one in our family house.
**Have you ever been to a five-star resort?**
Not yet, but I hope that I can go there soon. It is a dream for me, and I wish that I also bring my family by that time. I claim it!
**What talent would you want to possess if you could?**
I wish I could sing well. It is not that I do not know how to sing. but my voice won't sometimes cooperate, lol. But mind you, I like singing inside the comfort room, and from there, no one could stop me from doing it. I felt like I was one of the best singers when singing inside the cr, lol.
**If you could trade lives with someone, who would it be?**
If I could trade lives with someone, of course I will choose to trade it with my crush so that I can know if my crush has a feeling for me, too. Oh, I don't have a crush pala.
My mind: *Weh, 'di nga?*
**If you could erase one event from history, which one would you erase?**
If I could erase one event from history, I would like to erase the event when the covid arises. I want to end it immediately so that it would not have been like this.
I challenge @officialgamboalikeus to choose one question and answer it honestly. You can reply and challenge your friends, too!

Friendships: For Keep
*A friend is not just a simple word comprised with six words. They are for keeps and forever be treasured.*
***Image credits to Pixabay*** https://pixabay.com/photos/people-jumping-happiness-happy-fun-821624/
Depending on whoever you choose as friends, what is important is they care for us genuinely. They are open to love our strengths and including our flaws. They made us feel a profound satisfaction in life that can not be found in other things in this world.
Now, let us move on to the reasons why people find friends
****The happiness that a friendship could bring****
Life is like a rough road full of obstacles, and as humans, we are all traveling on that rough journey to get to our desired path. Along the way, our feet may get tired, and our bodies may feel pain. There is a feeling of contempt at the strenuous trail ahead. But then something spectacular occurs. A friend could be found on the road, and together you travel the journey. No matter how difficult it is, the things that may be experienced will still bring joy in the end for as long as the journey traveled is not wasted.
****Walks with you along the rough road****
A genuine friend is enthusiastic about walking with you along the rough way. They will take your hand, pull you up when you feel so down, and help you endure and surpass those obstacles. They will stay right beside you even during the darkest days of your life. A friend that stays through struggles and triumphs. Willing to make you happy when things may seem to feel odd.
***Muhammad Ali, once said:***
*“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”*
Here are some articles that talk about friendship, which are written by the various users here. I compiled it just in case you want to read more articles about this topic. If your article is included and you want it to be removed, please reply in the comment section.
**Best friend** **by** @Macronald https://read.cash/@Macronald/best-friend-c09678c7
`Snap:`
`"Friendship is a whole new world entirely, it is built on a pillar of trust, care, and respect. It is one that people hope would last forever but most times are cut short due to certain differences, shortcomings, and sudden disruption."`
Like gems, they are precious but the only difference is that their value is not compensable by any amount of money you could ever give. They will last for a lifetime. It has been imparted in the system, and someone will always be forever grateful for having such a good friend.
**How can you explain FRIENDSHIP on your kids?** **by** @Laurenceuuu https://read.cash/@Laurenceuuu/how-can-you-explain-friendship-on-your-kids-c6625fb0
`Snap:`
`"As a parent, older brother or sister, it is important to introduce and inform your kids or younger siblings the word friendship since child so they will know it's importance in such a young age. This article is not only for kids but also to adults."`
Friends are not just made for youngsters. It could last forever no matter what age you have. The title of the article says its content, and if you are a parent already, you could try reading it.
**Friends and friendship** **by** @Erinn https://read.cash/@Erinn/friends-and-friendship-fe0a65c4
`Snap:`
`"Friends come and go in everyone's life. Some friends last a lifetime, some friendships fall apart. Someone sitting next to you on the first day of school is a lifelong friend. Many days when two people work side by side, they don't become friends in time."`
Friends and friendship are two different words but likened together. Friends being the tangible one, and friendship being the intangible one. It could be felt and it is something spectacular.
*That's all for now!*
Special mention to everyone who are currently reading this one. May God bless us all! I hope you will appreciate what was written by me for you. Happy reading!

Cuts Deeper than a Blade
There are days where you really can't defy and change the direction of the wind.
Even when they do not admit it, there are people who have experienced once in their life the feeling of being worthless. Not that they are not worthy at all, but what they feel based on what other people are saying.
Sometimes, they also feel it inside their house, and they just can't help but feel the same feeling that has always been causing pain inside and make the mind loaded with uncertainties, which could lead to asking themselves what they have gone and done wrong.
Well, that is life. When the wind comes and passes over you, you can do nothing but let it give and leave you with a cold feeling. We are human, after all.
You know the feeling where you have many achievements in life, but still, there is a feeling of emptiness within you, and that you don't feel your worth to others?
Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. You talk to others and interact with them with a smile on your face as if you really feel good inside you. Eccedentesiast? You could be that.
There are two varieties of pain - physical pain and emotional pain. According to previous studies, emotional pain is caused by emotional discomfort that can last longer, more profoundly felt, and much painful than physical pain. While the pain caused by physical is suffering or distress that a person feels from injury or sickness.
*"The worst wounds, the deadliest of them, aren't the ones people see on the outside. They're the ones that make us bleed internally."* **- Sherrilyn Kenyon**
Now, let us proceed reviewing some articles related to the topic. Stay calm and relax as I share them to you one by one.
`Situation 1:`
**Being Abandoned is more painful than the cut of blade** **written by** @Ruffa https://read.cash/@Ruffa/being-abandoned-is-more-painful-than-the-cut-of-blade-1b3d1dc5
`Why there's a people like that no? Because their oldies is giving them a hard time they will just leave them and will stop taking care of them. They can't take cleaning the poop of their parents while when they are still a child they never felt disgusted on taking care of them. Isn't it only natural to give them back the care that they have given to you with that simple thing?`
It is not about feeling worthless, but the topic revolves around the pain of being abandoned by someone who has played a significant role in our life. In this case, it is her grandpa whom she misses a lot. The memories of the past are really hard to forget. They have been inculcated in our mind and heart, especially those memories which have impacted us significantly.
`Situation 2:`
`It seems like every feeling is self-inflicted. Sometimes we feel like we are superior from others and we expect them to see and act based on how we view certain things.... and that's where our frustrations in life usually come from. Whenever I feel frustrated and unmotivated because of my personal growth, I turn to these two parables from the Bible and the enlightenment is just what I needed. Also, it takes all courage to admit that we are not as perfect and knowledgeable as we probably thought we are. It may be very difficult but even the best people has failed countless times and it took them a while to master their craft and we are not to judge.`
Once we feel something deep within us and we let ourselves be controlled by these feelings, we just can help but go with the flow. Like he said, It seems like every feeling is self-inflicted. Enlightenment is what we need before doing something that may cause regret on our part in the end.

Ethical Dilemmas
Contemplating information, the subsequent part will examine the ethical dilemmas I personally experienced before. This article will also contain some examples which was written by various users here.
`Example 1:`
**Window Dressing: Good or Bad?** **written by** @Mjv2 https://read.cash/@Mjv2/window-dressing-good-or-bad-7a4809b3
`Based on legal terms, window dressing can be legal as long as it is done to indicate the business or firm's actual disposition of affairs. However, it can be unlawful once accompanied by intentional deception, or manipulative practices that aim to show a more positive image of the company in the perspective of the financial statement users and to deceive people, especially the investors. In other words, it means that it depends on the situations and facts being held on a case to case basis.`
This scenario really needs a good judgement. Though, it can be unlawful and ethically wrong, it is undeniable that there are some who is still do it due to some reasons.
`Example 2:`
**Ethical Issues in the Business or Corporate World: PRODUCTION** **written by** @Eirolfeam2 https://read.cash/@Eirolfeam2/ethical-issues-in-the-business-or-corporate-world-production-16101146
`There are certain procedures implicated in the production of goods and a small error in the same can lessen the quality harshly. In certain products, the danger is greater just like a minor error can decrease the quality and increase the threat associated with consumption or usage of the same. The dilemma lies in distinguishing the degree of permissibility, which in turn relies on a number of factors. Bhopal gas tragedy is one illustration where the poisonous gas got leaked out due to negligence on the part of the management and company.`
This written article made by the mentioned writer here, is focused on the corporate world. Should you want to read further what it talks about to understand it more, just click the link above and read her article.
`Example 3:`
**Moral Dilemma** **written by** @Ms_Banana24 https://read.cash/@Ms_Banana24/moral-dilemma-d1e4da03
`Immanuel Kant implies that people should live with a moral law, and follows our moral duty, to do the right thing not on our own personal motives, but considering what is the right thing based on the universal law. We should check first our actions if it is right or wrong thing to do, because based on his theory we should do and follow the rules that apply to everyone.`
**Kant's ethics** are designed around the idea of a "categorical imperative," which is a general ethical principle asserting that one should constantly value others' virtue and that one should only act following rules that could exist for all.

The way we live our daily lives differs from each one of us, but what matters the most is that we learn how to live it to the fullest. It is how we enjoy it, how we pursue our dreams, how we can attain them by doing sets of actions each day, how we can make the day special, and many more hows.
**J.D. Stroube, once said:**
`“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.”`
In this article, I listed down various articles which I find interesting and relatable, and guess what? Their titles also contain the word how! Coincidence? I don't think so.
The word how is being used redundantly but, its importance is still the same. How can you answer such questions the way they are being asked if you remove the word how? Does it make sense? I hope so.
Okay, let us proceed now.
**How To Fight Your Fear That Is Related To Past?** **by** @OfficialGamboaLikeUs https://read.cash/@OfficialGamboaLikeUs/how-to-fight-your-fear-that-is-related-to-past-4f449f1b
Fear is something that people do not want to encounter as much as possible. But we cannot always dodge all things, and what if you are going to face your fear one day? Are you going to cry like a baby? Back out? or other reasons.
As mentioned in the article, `Perhaps something has happened to us in the past that we won't ever neglect. We need to proceed onward yet it appears as though somebody is pulling us and we can't push ahead. What's more, it is hard for us to begin once more.`
Fear will be fear. It is something that everyone has to manage no matter what. When you are in dangerous, threatening, or scary circumstances, fear is what your body will feel. It is the ability to recognize danger and choose to either defy that fear or flee from the situation. We have our own sets of fears, but they can be overcome no matter how people look at them.
*"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."* **-Eleanor Roosevelt**
Let us move on to the next one.
**How to write a well-written article?** **by** @Laurenceuuu https://read.cash/@Laurenceuuu/how-to-write-a-well-written-article-98f56fa7
Writing without passion is something hard to do. When you write, you are more likely to do it better when you have a passion for it. If you just write because you are required to do so or just want to earn here, that would be another story.
As mentioned in the article, `The most important way to write a well-written article is to read and to write. Reading articles is always worth it because you will gain knowledge and improve your vocabulary. Meanwhile, writing can also enhance your skills and improve your content slowly. Personally, when I joined this platform, I said to myself that I can't do this since my weakness is English and writing, but as time goes by, you will learn and love writing. That is how it goes for him.`
There are lots of ways to improve your writing skills. The mentioned article mentioned some of those ways where you can constantly improve. It is a matter of willingness to learn and openness to accept mistakes and recommendations from others. We are all humans, and it is okay to commit mistakes.
*“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”* **― Sylvia Plath**
It is already late at night, so I think I might end this article here. Do not worry because I will try my best to do a second part about it some other time. But for now, I hope you will appreciate what was written by me for you. Happy reading!
Silent Effect S1: Inception
Author's Note:
I found a new home for my stories which I think is the best one because it is an avenue to share. It is also an excellent platform to learn and earn at the same time. My stories will be written in English and Filipino, and their genres focus on mystery, action, comedy, fantasy, and a bit of horror. I hope that you will like them the same way I like them while writing them.
***This is pretty long since this includes three parts.***
`The time has frozen. Several things come and go in my mind. It is another day filled with semi-expected things. I cannot help but feel the familiar weird feeling inside me. I do not know if I am that super lucky, or it is just that the bullies become unfortunate when they target me.`
`Every day is indeed a challenge for me. I do not know, but I feel that there is a mystery behind all these things. I can't handle the typical vibe. It is like I was in a different world where everything comes in favor of me. I know some would say that I must be thankful, but still, it is pretty weird.`
`I am just a simple individual living in a simple dormitory, which is only a few meters away from the university where I am studying. No one knows that I am living alone. Even my best friend Anne does not know it. I do not even know where I came from. I only know that I just woke up one day in the middle of the woods behind the dorm in a very different outfit. I can still remember the expression of the person who saw me.`
`"Am I dreaming?"`
`I laugh as if something funny happened. That was Anne, and right from that day, we became friends. But, just like what occurs in movies and soap operas, there will be some individuals who will become antagonists in your life. But unlike the protagonists in most soap operas, my revenge happened differently, and sometimes it is already happening even without planning with it.`
`Right before I entered the school, something had happened. I was stopped by a group of girls who always get insecure with me. One of them holds both hands and lets their leader, Sheena, freely slap me. But before her hand reaches my face, her ultimate crush, James, entered the scene out from nowhere. Then the girls freed me. Sheena, who seemed to be a monster a while ago, suddenly turned into a sweet lamb. But I heard James telling Sheena that she should not hurt. I saw Sheena rolled her eyes at me, and before it gets worst, I decided to leave the area.`
`Our subject at the moment is Mathematics. After our Professor entered the room, he immediately gave us a surprise quiz. I was not agitated because I clearly understood our lesson last time. But I am not saying that I was confident. In the middle of the examination, the most grade-conscious student attempted to cheat. How did I know it? Well, she went inside the comfort room many times. No one besides me discerned it since the others are focusing on answering the surprise quiz. But with my keen sense, I have confirmed it when I saw something blinking in her pocket.`
`That only means one thing- there is a high probability that she used her phone. My eyes were fixed in her pocket, and after a while, she saw me looking at her purse, which induced her to be impaled where she was standing at the moment. That caused the others to get disturbed, and as soon as the teacher noticed it, he immediately called her attention.`
`Something unexpected came out of her mouth. She said, "I caught Aizyl cheating." I almost laugh upon hearing the words she says. Of course, the teacher did not believe her. He even said that she was probably the cheater. But why things seemed to work the other way around? The reason is that how can I cheat if I already passed my answers? In short, her claim is illogical.`
`Since I am kind, I just said to our teacher that it is just okay since it was just a faux pas. She was not getting caught, but she did not finish the exam with the time she spent asserting and defending herself a while ago as if she was the victim. When the bell rang, everyone quickly passed their papers but her, still completing the exam. With this, the teacher called her attention several times until she was scolded. That time she did not have a choice but to pass her paper. The others started to leave the room, but I saw her in her seat while crying before leaving it. I feel bad for her, but I said that her actions led her to her current situation. I am already beyond that zone.`
Author's Note
How's the first part? If you have some thoughts, do not hesitate to write it down. I am open for recommendations.
*"On the path of actions, great heart is the chief recommendation; on that works, a great head."* **- Arthur Schopenhauer**
`I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. Another day has come, and I am grateful for it. Just like what I always do, I fixed my beddings. Then I did some stretching and prepared myself before going to school.`
`I always walk with my head bowing down. If I am looking at anyone else, my face would just have an understandable reaction.`
`The first person I met this morning is the person I never want to meet on the road. But since Ally is already in front of me, I just have to pretend that I am not that threatened.`
`"Oh, Aizyl, my sweet friend. It is good that we'll go together to school this time." Ally said.`
`Ally is her name, but she never became an ally - I mean an ally to me. As usual, she is showcasing her most plastic smile. She taps my back, and after a while, I felt like there was something in my back.`
`The next she did was she went back to her group, and from there, I saw that she started murmuring something to her friends.`
`From nowhere, a paper flew in the air. I did not expect that it will land off in the face of Ally. I said, "serves you right, bitch," quietly in the air.`
`Destiny played a trick on her. In the end, it was not me who was embarrassed by the action she made. Instead, she is the one who suffered from her own deed—no wonder why many students begin to laugh. I noticed her pick a small stone from the ground. She is about to throw it at me, but suddenly a pigeon-dung dove fallen off in her head, making her look gross. In the end, she became the loser and, of course, disgusting. Before I left the place, I gave her an annoying smile on my face. She had nothing to do but scream out of embarrassment and misfortune. I wish I had taken a picture of her face, but I did not do anything against her since I am not that evil.`
`From that day also, she became trending in the school. Everywhere you go, she was the topic. She became an instant celebrity - a celebrity who receives her karma. The golden rule says that you should not do what you do not want to happen to you. And now, one thing is for sure - Karma has taken its revenge to slap her face so hard until she realizes that being mean is evil.`
`Lunchtime came in, and as usual, I am currently in the canteen while lining in a queue waiting for my turn. Suddenly, a girl from behind stepped in and cut in the line.`
`"Hey, Ally. Where did you get your guts to cut in the queue?" Anne said.`
`"Oh, haven't I tell you that Aizyl saved this spot for me?"`
`The quiet place then turned noisy. And now the students are talking behind me.`
`"How does it feel to be talked back, Aizyl? Was it nice?"`
`Since I wouldn't say I like the current situation I am currently experiencing, I suddenly said a phrase unexpectedly.`
`"Since when did we become friends?"`
`Then Anne added what I have said.`
`"She's right. As per the record, you never become a part of our circle. Aren't you?"`
`I saw her dazed in her position. Now the hot seat was again transferred to Ally. With this thing happened, the students wanted her to line up fairly. Well, since she's already getting the attention she deserved, she decided to just leave the area.`
`But before she left the place, she attempted to hit me with her bag. As she sways her shoulder bag, it unwittingly flew away, and it fell to the table where there is a group of teachers eating.`
`That led her to be called to the guidance office. Guess what? she blamed me again for her action, but with CCTV's help in the canteen, she ended up eating her own words. What's even surprising is that she was told to serve a cleaning service in school later.`
`After the class, I saw a group of students in a certain area. I went there and saw Ally cutting grasses. Students have their topics to tell about her. My quota of hearing such a topic already exceeds, and I do not want to see nor talk about that, so I just went home. But with this thought: Why is it that the actions of those who tried to pull me down always thrown back to them?`
`I only had a few hours of sleep last night. Up until now, the message I had received from Ally yesterday kept me nervous. I still cannot say if I can manage to go to school today.`
`I have sent a message to Anne regarding this matter, and I am still waiting for her reply. A few seconds more when finally my phone rang. Anne is calling, and so I answer it immediately.`
`"So are you threatened to her?"`
`"Of course, yes. I still do not want to die."`
`"Haha, what are you saying? You are not going to die with that blackmail of hers."`
`Then I remembered again what Ally sent to me last night.`
`Ally: Hi there, Aizyl. I hope you can sleep well tonight.`
`At first, I feel weird about what she was saying. I mean, it is like there is something she wants me to realize with her message. Then I just saw a disgusting clip of cockroaches and feisty bees on my screen. I almost scream, and I have practically thrown my phone when I see it. But luckily, I have managed my fears and frustrations.`
`Ally: Sent a video.`
`I played it, and it just shows a clip of her while smiling and laughing in a wicked evil manner.`
`But with the help of Anne, I made up my mind to go to school even if I had a clue on what Ally wants to do to me. Upon reaching the school entrance with Anne, we saw Ally and the group waiting for someone else, and that could be me. I hold Anne's arms out of nervousness and fear.`
`"Do not get fear." She said.`
`But my knees are now shaking. It even gets worse when she walks nearer towards Anne and me. In her left hand is a slipper, which I do not know what she will do with it. On the other hand is a spray, which could be a spray for insects.`
`She waves her right hand upwards, and that caused me to cover my face. I am waiting for her to spray it to me, but I just heard her laughing as if she saw a very lame scenario.`
`"Ha ha ha ha." Anne said to her.`
`With that, the anger hiding inside Ally's body came out. She attempted to throw the slipper to Anne's face, but luckily it does not fall onto Anne's face.`
`Unfortunately, it goes up and hits the branch of the tree behind us. I heard a buzz, which seems like coming from bees, so I immediately grabbed Anne's arm and left the place as fast as we could.`
`I am right with my suspicion. A few bees came out from the tree and immediately attach the nearest people in the area.`
`"Hahaha, you guys are coward. You are losers." Ally said, and after saying that, we just heard her scream in pain.`
`The bees are attacking her. Her allies, who always follow her, suddenly were missing in action. It is now only Ally who is fighting with those bees. She has a spray in her right hand, and with this, the bees stopped attacking her.`
`The bees may be gone already, but her face became so red and bumpy after the scenario. Many students took pictures of her. But I feel pity for her. I know how painful it is to be bitten by bees, so how much more with five to ten bites?`
`A few seconds more, and then she just fainted. Before she loses her consciousness, I heard her ask for some help.`
`Anne and I rush into her position, and from there, we saw her pity state. I touched her face, and I was just shocked when the bitten parts get healed. I immediately remove my hands out of confusion. I asked Anne if she saw something, but luckily she didn't.`
`A few seconds more, and then Ally gain back its consciousness. I do not know, but she immediately hugs me and thank me.`
`After that, we assisted her to go in the school clinic. The bites have gone, but still, all the necessary treatment procedure was done for her.`
`Will it be the start of a better relationship between them?`
