My Journey in February
As per observation, some users are sharing their own journey in February in this platform. And so I decided to why not make my own article also telling my journey here for the month of February?
Lately, I became so busy doing some important matters, so I decided to put on hold my articles. But here I am again sharing my articles with you. Since another month had passed, we will take a glimpse on my activities during the month of February.
Last month, I have published a total of 6 articles. 2 were written in Filipino, and the other four articles were written in English. What is more fruitful is that I have earned a total of 27.42 dollars from that six articles only. All thanks to the read.cash platform, and to those who are part of it, especially to those who gives free bch and of course to our very generous donor, Mr. @MarcDeMesel who has always been kind.
**Let me start presenting to you the highlights of my articles during February. The first article I have written last month is entitled:**
**Huling Sayaw** https://read.cash/@Stylish/huling-sayaw-8f3f6656
The article mentioned above is a story, a 5-minute read short love story to be specific. It was written in Filipino language. Based on its stats, it garnered a total of 7 views but with 8 likes (something is weird, right?) and 1 comment. The total tips it gets was 3.17$, which is already enough for a week supply of load for my online class.
This story is just a work of fiction. Any names that were mentioned there including the places, events, and other things were purely work of imagination. Resemblance to anyone or anything, if any, are purely coincidence.
Next in line is my highest tipped and viewed article for the month of February.
**What Kind of Noisy Are You?** https://read.cash/@Stylish/what-kind-of-noisy-are-you-442c4609
This article got a total of 7.21$ or 26.29% of my total earnings for February. The total views are 31 with 12 total likes and five comments. The article talked about some of the kinds of noise.cash users based on my observations. Some of these types were as follows:
***Story-Teller***
You are this kind of user if you like telling stories in the platform. It may be funny, sad, and many more.
***Are you this kind of noise.cash user?***
***Famous***
Undoubtedly, these are the users who are well known on the platform due to their number of subscribers. They always get many hearts in their posts.
***Are you this kind of noise.cash user?***
***Famous-famousan***
These users are those who got many subscribers from asking anyone. Know that this act is against the rule, but still, I see some who do such a thing.
***Are you this kind of noise.cash user?***
***Photographer***
It has two types - Type A and Type B.
Type A are those who love sharing amazing and beautiful photos that they find somewhere around the internet.
***Are you this kind of noise.cash user?***
On the other side, Type B are those who share photo which they really own.
***Are you this kind of noise.cash user?***
Thank you for your time in reading my article. I hope you enjoyed it. See you on my next article! God bless.

Today's the 28th Day of February
*Image via Pinterest*
Today is the 28th day of February. It is the last day of the month. Last year is a leap year, which means there were 366 days. But this year is a common year, meaning there are 365 years. Leap year happens every four years, and that means that the next leap year, which will have 29th on the month of February, will be in 2024, and that would be Thursday.
You might be asking yourself if when do the people born on the 29 of February celebrate their birthday. Actually, I also once ask that in myself. And based on what I have heard or known from others whose birthday is that day, they said that they celebrate it either on the 28 of February of a common year or the first day of March. To think of it, this peculiar phenomenon is more than just an extra day on the calendar.
So, there might be some of those whose birthday is the 29 of February who are celebrating today. But the question is, how do they celebrate it?
*Leapers*, a name often called to those who were born on such date, might be confused that their birthday only came once every four years when they were still young, but of course, they will come to know it better once the term leap year is explained to them.
Here is a cool record:
*Based on the Guinness Book of Records, the only confirmed example of a family producing three consecutive generations born on the 29 of February is that of the Keogh family. Peter Anthony was born in Ireland on a Leap Day in 1940, while his son, Peter Eric, was born in the U.K. on the 29 of February, 1964. Peter Eric’s daughter, Bethany Wealth, was also a Leap Day baby, born in the U.K. on the 29 of February 1996.*
Does it sound interesting?
Just to share this thing that I have found out, **Saul Stacey Williams**, an American singer, musician, poet, writer, and actor, was born on the 29 of February in the year 1972.
On the other hand, by doing the math or the probability of baby being born on a particular day of a common year, that would be 1 out of 365, or that is 0.274 percent chance. However, leap year babies would be four times that, plus an extra day. That comes out to 1 in 1,461, or only 0.068 percent of the world’s population shares a birthday with someone whose birthday is the same as others. Supposing birthdays are evenly disseminated throughout the year.
***So, what is it like to be a leap year baby?***
One might say,
“Anyone that I have met that has been born on a leap year appears to be special.”
One may be annoyed too when someone makes fun or joke about his or her actual age.
Just a random thought. Suppose Abcde Xyz, a *leaper* went into a place where you have to prove that you are no longer a minor, showed his I.D. to the guard who does not know about a leap year. Is it possible that such a particular event will occur?
Let us say that indeed occurred, what will you say or do if you were in the situation of Abcde Xyz?
The comment section is waiting for replies. You are free to comment on your thoughts regarding the question and the topic as a whole. Thanks!

Dear Diary Day 1
DD1
Today, I decided to make a daily diary about what I have done during the day and all the things I have in my mind during the day. I am doing this thing so that I will be able to express my thoughts regarding the matter to have something to read when I needed to reflect and the like.
So, this is it.
*Image via Pixabay*
*Dear Diary,*
Today is indeed an exhausting day for me. Today is holiday in the whole country but I had finished a lot of things today. As you know, it is not good to cram so as early as possible, I had to do them now so that my mind will not be disturbed.
I just finished answering all the problems of the chapter lesson we had, and I really get tired both physically and mentally.
Actually, I still have lots of chapters to read, but I get tired also. As of now, I am still relaxing, and maybe after an hour or two, I might be able to read a few more things before sleeping.
Like what I always say to myself, I need to be productive. Tomorrow is another day and I hope that it will be filled with fun and enjoyment. I also hope that I will become more productive so that I will be able to finish more things tomorrow.
That's it for now, diary. It was just short because I like it to be. Anyways, I look forward for better days for all of us. The things brought about by the pandemic had hindered us to do the usual thing we do before, and so I hope that after all this challenges in our life, we will again rise up and be better.
See you again tomorrow, diary!
Yours truly,
@Stylish
Hi there guys, I hope you are doing well. I made this diary not just to write down anything I have in my mind, and the experiences I had during the day, but to reflect and express.
And so with this, I challenge you also to make yours. Yo do not have to make it long. What is important is you have at least said what you wanna say. That will already be enough. Know that it is not necessary to use flowery words to do it, you can write it as simple as you want as long as you are comfortable with it.
Just to go a bit off of the topic, our lives, indeed, are full of colors, and they become more lively if we think positively and if we have a positive outlook on life. They imply optimism and determination. It has an indispensable role in spiritual beliefs as the color of white is associated with goodness, while black is connected with darker life situations.
Colors have an important role to play in the fashion and style industry. They add charm and glamour to an outfit. They can also become a cause of motivation and urge for each artist who finds a job just by utilizing colors. They give life to the world and make it an even enjoyable place to live in.
Let's do hope that day by day, we will be able to come up with the best version of ourselves. Anyway, life is a matter of choice and it is your choice if you want to do the challenge. Enjoy and have fun!

Mga Susing Walang Katulad
Sa buhay, maraming bagay ang laging nagbibigay sorpresa sa atin. Napakaraming bagay ang sumusubok sa ating katatagan, na siyang sumusubok sa atin. Gayunpaman, marami ring mga kadahilanan upang hindi sumuko at magpatuloy lang ng magpatuloy sa buhay na hindi lang itinakda na puno ng hirap at pasakit.
*“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”*
Maaaring narinig mo na iyan, at maaaring isa 'yan sa nagbibigay ng tatag ng iyong kalooban. Ang buhay ay patuloy na dumadaloy sa napakaraming proseso ng pagbabago. Huwag basta sumabay sa maling agos kapag napagod na. Sa halip, tatagan ang iyong sarili dahil ang umaga'y darating rin, at ito'y magbibigay ng pag-asa.
Narito ang salitang ***tagumpay***. Maaari itong bigyan ng kahulugan sa maraming paraan. Ang isa ay ang katuparan ng hinahangad na mga pangarap at pinaghihirapang makamit.
Kaya, upang magtagumpay sa buhay ang isang tao ay kailangang lampasan ang anumang hamon ng buhay na maaaring makapagpatatag sa atin.
Bagaman ang pagdaig sa mga hamong ito ay hindi isang madaling gawain, ang pagbibigay ng lahat ng iyong makakaya ay kinakailangan upang maisakatuparan ito, at upang mapagtagumpayan mong maging pinakamahusay na bersyon ng iyong sarili.
Kapag nakamit mo ang mga tagumpay, huwag mong gamitin ito upang magyabang sa mga nasa paligid mo. Sa halip, laging ilagay ang iyong sarili sa lupang pinanggalingan mo, matutong lumiongon sa pinanggalingan, at maging isang mabuting ehemplo para sa pagbabago. Gumawa ng mabuting impluwensya sa iba upang matulungan silang makamit rin ang tagumpay na kanilang pinakahahangad.
Kung hindi ka nagsumikap upang makamit ang tagumpay, hindi mo makukuha ang katumbas na sarap ng tagumpay na maaari mong maranasan kung pinaghirapan mo ito.
Kung gaano kahirap gawin upang makamit ang layuning iyon, mas matamis ang prutas na makukuha.
Palaging tayong binabantayan ng Diyos kaya huwag sumuko. Palaging ipaglaban ang ating mga pangarap at huwag hayaang hadlangan o huwag magpadaig sa anumang hamong dumating sa ating paglalakbay patungo sa tagumpay ng inaasam-asam.
Ang mga sumusunod ay ang mga paraan na mamaaring gawin ng sinuman upang magsumikap at makamit ang tagumpay.
***Ganyakin ang iyong sarili na magagawa mo ito***
Napaka-trending ngayon ng "Law of attraction." Ako, ang aking sarili, ay naniniwala dito. Nagiging mas epektibo ito kapag sabay na sinamahan ng pagganyak, pagtitiwala sa iyong sarili, at pagkilos.
Huwag isiping mahirap itong makamit. Sa halip, gawin ito ng buong puso. Nagiging hamon lamang ang mga bagay kung sa palagay mo mahirap ito. Ngunit kapag ginawa mo ito, mas matatamasa mo ang tunay nitong halaga.
*Hindi baleng mabagal basta't tumpak*
Tulad ng sinasabi nila, "mabagal man, ngunit tiyak." Huwag magmadali. Mag-enjoy lamang habang nagpapatuloy sa proseso. Maaari mong hatiin ang iyong mga gawain at gawin ito nang paunti-unti. Subukan mo ito upang malaman ang tunay nitoing bisa.
Huwag maghintay hanggang ang mga bagay ay mismong darating sa'yo dahil wala namang ganon. Matutong tumayo gamit ang iyong sariling paa dahil kung hindi ay baka magsisi ka sa huli kung ito'y hindi mo makukuha. Kahit pa uso ang pag-cramming, may pagkakataon kang pilhing gawin na ito ng mas maaga. Karamihan sa atin kahit hindi pa aminin, gagawin lamang nila ang kanilang kinakailangang gawin isang araw bago ang deadline. Sa bagay na ito, subukang maging mas proactive. Kung hindi mo ito matatapos sa isang pag-upo lamang, maari mo itong gawin paunti-unti.
*Magkaroon ng konsentrasyon*
Mas mahusay na gumawa ng mga bagay kung mayroon kang konsentrasyon. Maaari mo itong gawin sa pamamagitan ng pagrerelaks muna bago gawin ang anumang bagay upang maging handa ang iyong isip at katawan. Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag ika'y magrerelaks ay magcecellphone agad, maaaring magdilig na halam o di kaya'y makinig sa musika habang nakahiga sa duyan. Maaari mo ring patugtugin ang ilang musika kapag ginagawa mo ang iyong gawain upang mas ganahan ka sa paggawa nito.
Pinakamahalaga sa lahat, laging limitahan ang iyong sarili sa mga bagay na nakakagambala sa iyo. Ibig kong sabihin, lumayo ka sa mga nakapagbibigay sa iyo ng distrakyon.
*Laging tandaan kung bakit mo ito sinisimulan*
Ang pag-alala sa dahilan kung bakit mo sinimulan ang bagay na nais mong makamtan ay tiyak na hahayaan kang magpatuloy ng magpatuloy. Wala nang mas nakakainspire at nakaka-motivate kaysa sabihin sa iyong sarili ngayon na makakaya mo ito, at kung bakit mo ito ginagawa sa una pa lang. Napakahalaga na lagi mong ipagpatuloy ang pakikipag-ugnay sa kung ano ang nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa iyo.
Kapag ang mga bagay ay tila nagiging kumplikado, at nararamdaman mong gusto mo nang sumuko, mangyaring huwag gawin ang bagay na iyan. Laging magbibigay ang Diyos ng dahilan para tayo ay magpatuloy lang sa buhay. Panghawakan at alalahanin ang mga dahilan kung bakit ka nagsimula.
Maraming mga indibidwal ang sumusuko kapag hindi sila tunay na naniniwala sa kanilang mga pangarap o di kaya'y nahirapan na sa unang yugto pa lang ng pagkamit ng kanilang mga hinahangad na pangarap. Sa pamamagitan nito, masasabi kong walang shortcut sa tagumpay. Ang bawat isa sa atin ay maaaring kailangang umakyat sa rurok ng isang mabatong bundok ng tagumpay bago ito mapunta sa ating mga kamay. Manampalataya ka lang sa Diyos at maniwala sa proseso. Siguradong makakarating tayo doon.
Creativity is like a Smile, It's Contagious
Creativity is like a Smile, It's Contagious
Let us start this article with a quote coming from *Albert Einstein. He quoted,* ***"Creativity is Contagious, pass it on."***
Life can be happy, and life can be painful sometimes. But each day is indeed a blessing. Hardships are part of the success and considered as part of a beautiful moment to cherish.
Just like our smiles, creativity is contagious too. Watching creative kinds of stuff online has this factor that can cause someone to be creative, also. Even if you are not an artist, you may just feel the urge within you after you watch that particular clip and that you think it is cool to try it, too. So you did it. As they say, the more appreciative you are, the more that you become creative.
The following are some of the creative stuff that you can try when you have free time. Others considered them as their hobby, and you too can do that. But first, let us take a look at these which you may find interesting.
Portrait Drawing
***Via Pixabay***
Drawing a portrait is not a piece of cake. It requires patience. But once it is done, the hard work will be paid off. Though it takes a lot of processes to learn, the time you spend learning it and enjoying it at the same time will already be enough to say that it is such a nice thing to do and make as a hobby. For the beginners learning how to master it, there are various sites online and video tutorials you may find in Youtube and other social media platforms. Just be patient and enjoy. You will also master it one day!
Painting
***Via Pixabay***
Just like in drawing portraits, painting is also a hard thing to do yet it can be full of fun and excitement. As they say, a photo that worth a thousand words. For me, artworks and paintings do the same way. It illustrates several things. It can be a way for someone to deliver their perspectives, denote their passions, and link to society in a way that proffers them fruitful deliverance.
It may encourage anyone expresses not just your thoughts but your passion and sentiments also. It may improve what you feel and help you bring out the creativity within you by painting the thing you fancy in your imaginations. It may be messy, but the hard work that was poured will be full of worth once the painting is done. With that, one thing is for sure - it is beautiful.
Making Origami Papers
***Via Pixabay***
These are not just a simple papers that was folded. They were masterpieces, a product of labor and creativeness. Possibly, you have tried it once during your elementary days because it is being taught in school, especially on the art subject, if I am not mistaken.
Making paper origami is not like slicing a piece of cake. It comes with different difficulty levels, especially if you are making a vase, swan, among others. It entails patience. But if you love what you are doing, you will for sure enjoy folding the paper to make one of a kind art. Like most hobbies, if you master the basics of making an origami, you can begin on more complex designs in the future. The more challenging it is, the more it gives you fun and will to see it finished.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far. I hope you learned something new today. Please keep in mind that this is a recommendation not only for those who wants to involve their selves to arts, but also to everyone. I am just sharing my personal views and what I have read online, and you can also do your own research which can supplement what I have said in this article. Thank you so much.
Yours truly,
@Stylish
What Kind of Noisy Are You?

The Alexa ranking of the site goes higher. With this, it has an equivalent effect to bitcoin cash itself as it increases the number of transactions each day, which means that BCH is really becoming popular with more and more people.
It has caused the site to really go noisy. Well, doesn't it obvious based on the site? Of course, it is. As the days passed by, new features were introduced, making the users happier.

Huling Sayaw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoblMAyvt5Q
*"Hawakan mo lang ang kamay ko."*
Narinig kong sinabi niya sa huling pagkakataon. Ang luhang pinipigilan ko ay biglang bumagsak, at kasabay nito ang pagbitaw ng aking kamay. Sa patuloy na pagbagsak ng aking luha,kasabay din ang pagkahulog ko sa madilim na bangin.
Ipipikit ko na lang sana ang aking mga mata nang makita kong tumalon din siya. Nabigla ako, at bigla na lang, nais kong iligtas siya kahit maging ako ay patuloy na nahuhulog sa banging ito. Mukhang ito na ang ang katapusan naming dalawa. Ngumiti muna ako na may halong luha habang nakatingin sa kaniya bago tumama ang aming katawan sa lupa.
Isang minuto o dalawa o mas mahaba pa ang lumipas, at naghihintay pa rin ako. Minulat ko ang aking mga mata upang makita kung nahuhulog pa rin ako, ngunit tila may isang anghel na lumitaw sa aking harap.
Nakangiti siya na para bang wala ako sa panganib. Napagtanto kong pamilyar ang kaniyang mukha. Mula sa sandaling iyon, tinanggap ko na ang aking kapalaran, ang aming kapalaran. Ngunit parang pinaglalaruan ako ng tadhana. Ang sandali na sinubukan kong hawakan siya ay ang sandali na agad din siyang nawala.
Nagising ako mula sa tunog ng dextrose. Blangko ang aking isip. Wala akong maalala, maging ang pangalan ko at ang aking buong pagkatao ay tila nabura lahat sa aking isipan. Maraming tao sa loob ng silid ang umiiyak at nakangiti nang sabay. Sinubukan kong itanong kung anong nangyayari, ngunit biglang sumakit ang aking ulo. Hindi ko mapigilang sumigaw sa sobrang kirot nito.
Narinig ko ang isang pamilyar na boses mula sa isang tao sa loob na agad na tumawag sa doktor at mga nurse. Nang makarating sila ay naki-usap ang mga ito na lumabas muna ang mga taong umiiyak na naman ngayon.
Tila ba may mga karayom na tumutusok sa aking ulo at hindi ko mapigilang umiiyak dahil sa sakit. Pagkatapos naramdaman ko na lang na nawawalan ako ng kontrol sa aking katawan. Bago ko pa mapagtanto kung ano ito, ay siyang pagkawala ng aking malay.
Isang oras o dalawa ay nagising ako. Ang aking ulo ay hindi na masyadong sumasakit, ngunit wala pa rin akong maalala, na ikinalito ko. Sinusubukan kong mag-isip ng mas malalim, ngunit wala talaga akong maalala maliban sa mukha ng anghel na nakita ko sa aking panaginip na hindi ko mawari kung tunay ngang panaginip. Hindi, hindi ako pwedeng mangyari ito.
*"Ma, gising na si Athena."* Narinig kong sinabi ng babaeng itim ang buhok sa babaeng katabi niya na sa wari ko ay nasa mid 50's na. Kinusot ng babae ang kanyang mga mata at tumabi sa akin.
*"Salamat, Diyos, gising ka na ngayon anak. Sunshine, tawagan mo ngayon ang doktor."*
Ang babaeng nagngangalang Sunshine ay agad namang lumabas sa silid, at sa oras na siya ay bumalik ay kasama na niya ang doktor at isang nars.
Ginamit ng doktor ang kanyang stethoscope upang ako'y suriin, samantalang abala naman ang nars sa pagsusuri sa rate ng aking pulso.
Narinig kong nagsalita ang doktor. *"Ang pasyente ay nasa isang maayon nang kalagayan ngayon. Ngunit kailangan pa rin naming magpatakbo ng maraming mga pagsubok upang kumpirmahin kung hindi siya nakakakuha ng anumang malubhang kondisyon mula sa aksidente."*
Mula sa sandaling narinig ko ang salitang aksidente, isang biglaang pag-flashback ang tumatakbo sa aking isipan. Nakita ko ang aking sarili doon kasama ang ibang tao habang naglalakbay kami sa kung saan, at pagkatapos ang maganda at maaraw na panahon ay bigla na lamang sumama ang panahon.
Maraming sasakyan ang nagmamadali upang makarating doon mula sa kanilang patutunguhan bago bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Ngunit sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, ang isang kotse na papunta sa kabila na direksyon ay sumalpok sa sasakyang sinasakyan namin.
Bago pa man mahulog ang sasakyan sa dumidilim nang bangin, ay maayos na nakapreno ang sasakyan sa mismong gilid ng bangin. Ngunit labis akong kinabahan nang ang gilid ng aking damit ay naipit mula sa pintuan ng sasakyan. Mula doon, naisip kong ito na ang wakas para sa akin dahil unti-unti na ring nahuhulog ang sasakyan.
Naramdaman kong hinawakan niya ang aking kamay. Kunti na lang sana para mapunit ang aking damit ng bigla na lamang nagpakawala ang paligi ng isang malakas at malamig na simoy ng hangin na siya namang naging dahilan kung bakit tuluyang nahulog ang sasakyan.
Napunit man ang aking damit, pero dahil sa lakas ng pwersa ng hangin ay muntik na akong nahulog. Buti na lamang at nahawakan niya agad ang aking kamay. Ang mas masaklap pa ay nagsimula na ring umulan. Nahirapan ako sa kondisyong iyon. Sinubukan kong hawakan ang kanyang mga kamay gamit ang kabilang kamay ko, ngunit tila hinihila ako ng bangin at dahil na rin sa ulan ay mas dumulas ang aming mga kamay. Anumang sandali, mahuhulog na ako sa kailaliman ng bangin na ito. Ngunit naramdaman ko ang kaniyang fighting spirit. Hinila niya ako ng buong lakas. Narinig kong sinabi niya, *"hawakan mo ang aking kamay."* Ngunit sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, bigla na lang nawala ang aking mahigpit na pagkakahawak.
Bigla ko na lamang narinig ang isang kantang mas lalo pang nagdulot ng sakit sa aking puso.
*Hawakan mo aking kamay bago tayo maghiwalay*
*Lahat-lahat ibibigay, lahat-lahat...*
Pagkatapos ay pumasok ang eksena ng anghel na lumitaw sa aking harap bago tuluyang dumilim ang aking paningin. Sa sandaling sinubukan kong alalahanin pa ang sumunod na nangyari, nararamdaman kong nanghina ang aking katawan.
Narinig kong sinabi ng doktor, *"Huwag pilitin ang iyong sarili na gunitain ang nangyari. Sa ngayon, magpahinga ka na."* Sa mga payo ng doktor, unti-unti kong pinakalma ang aking sarili.
Mukhang hindi na pinapansin ni bot mga post ko :(

This article may contain my top 3 favorite types of music, so if you will find them good, let me know in the comment section below. You can also suggest more music to hear.
Relaxing music can be defined as music which can have a relaxing effect tour mind and also to our body. Usually, it involves different types of music which are played in a smooth way. It is also slowly, but it has a soothing effect that can really eradicate stress.
This kind of music can also be played so that you will easily sleep or when doing something or reviewing and preparing for an upcoming exam or quiz.
In fact that it can employ our consciousness. It serves as a means to explore emotions. This implies that it can be an excellent benefit to meditation, easing our mind and preventing it from wandering.
So, the following are the top 3 recommended pieces of music you can listen to in no particular order. These are my personal choice, and I have chosen these pieces of music due to the fact that it really make me feel happy and relaxed.

Because of the diversity of musical instruments each member of the band plays, the group was dubbed by Eat Bulaga as an “elite revolutionary band.”
The song is also about love. What I love about it is that it really has a good melody. The excellent tone and the heart-soothing lyrics could make you fell in love.
It is good to hear when you want to feel happy and relax. Its message implies the beautiful feeling whenever two persons are under the skies. Just by watching the same moon, the two persons will feel together even when they are apart.

It is another song from Ben & Ben. It is undeniable that we are crossing a long bridge or going an extra mile just to be happy. Others also say that happiness is a choice. Well, you can’t refuse the truth that we sometimes consider that idea.
I am trying to point out that, in this song, it was highlighted that happiness is not as complicated as what we assumed. This song tells us that there is more to satisfaction than what we already knew. That sometimes, crossing a long bridge and going the extra mile implies relishing what we have in life. Happiness are like stars from above that also bring joy to our hearts. But that does not mean we have to reach the stars just to be happy. Sometimes, being contented would already be enough and can make us smile and be happy everyday.
Moreover, the music video reminds us in a subtle way that sometimes, what we already find the thing or someone that brings happiness in our lives. It is just that our minds are focused on other things. Like in the music video, sometimes, what gives us ache is that it is gone already before we know it.
We are doubtful about so many things, and life is not always a bright and sunny day. But if you already know who makes you happy, or what makes you happy, you should choose it every day. For the things that make you happy, you have to hold on to them. Because if you don’t, then who will?

This song is about somebody endeavoring a moment of freedom within a stranger. It is also about forgiveness and staying hopeful during hard times. Personally speaking, I like the flow of the music. It is just right and a perfect melody for the ears. I can find something magical thing in it, and I hope you can find it, too in this song.
You may say that it is about the manner of forgiveness and healing in a relationship. A family with a great bond is perceived in the music video until a heartbreaking loss or death of the mother that built a split between the father, and his son is the relationship shown in the music video.
I really find it pleasant, especially on one part of the music that goes like this, *“But in the end, what makes it worth the fight, that no matter what happened we try to make it right.”* It implies that we should learn that it is necessary to forgive in life, just like the lyrics *“You never really love someone until you learn to forgive”* implies.
You have just read my top 3 personal choice. If you love listening to these kinds of music also, feel free to write it down below.

Pimples: Goodbye with Malunggay
***Malunggay, also known as Moringa Oleifera in its scientific name, is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree. It is a traditional plant identified for its high nutritional value.***
It is also herbal medicine. It grows in tropical climates such as the Philippines. In fact, we have at least three trees of Malunggay in our backyard, and almost every house here in our place has at least one tree of it.
*The following are the general benefits of Malunggay as a herbal medicine:*
**Boosts immune system**.
Simmered malunggay leaves carry immune-boosting nutrients and used in curing common ailments.
**Scalp problems**.
Malunggay leaves are crushed and mixed with coconut oil to treat scalp problems and improve hair growth.
**Asthma**.
It is also used to treat cough and asthma. Just combine malunggay leaves with honey and calamansi.
**Ear problems.** The juice from malunggay roots can also be utilized to treat ear-related issues.
**Hypertension.**
Malunggay soup can be used to regulate high blood pressure.
**Diabetes**.
Malunggay is also recommended for those who have diabetes since it can lower down blood sugar.
**Source of calcium**.
Add Malunggay as your food, as it has high calcium content and can strengthen bones, especially for growing children and older people.
**Anti-inflammatory.**
Malunggay poultice or the oil coming from it can be used to treat bone and ligament related conditions that involve inflammations such as rheumatism, gout, sprains, back pain, and all kinds of inflammation.
**Anti-cancer**.
Malunggay is also utilized along with other herbal medicines to treat cancer.
**Skin diseases**.
A decoction of boiled roots can ease the pain and promote healing by using it to wash wounds, cuts, skin ulcers, cuts, and other skin diseases.
**Stomach problems**.
Malunggay is also used for treating ulcers and constipation, and other stomach and intestinal related problems.
**Boosts fertility**.
Malunggay flower combined with soy milk is used to promote fertility for men or as an aphrodisiac.
*Wait, there's more! It is also suitable for skin rejuvenation. Yes, you heard it right. Malunggay can be used as a skin restorer to help the skin rejuvenate and achieve a healthy looking skin.*
Personally, I used Malunngay leaves in treating my pimples, and based on my experience, it really helped me reduce the redness of my pimples, and it really helped me heal my pimples.
Before sharing what I did, I want to say that it is not professional advice. I have just watched it online and tried it since I am tired of using different products. Also, we have different types of skin. So, if it does not work for you, you may try other ways. Anyway, this process won't cost you even a single cent.
***So, what you need in this process?***
**Malunggay Leaves**
Of course, this is the main ingredient for this method. I recommend using fresh ones. Also, just pick what you just need. Do not get many leaves because you will only apply it once a day, thrice a week, or once a week.
**Mortar and pestle**
This is used to pound the leaves and get its juice, which will be used to apply in your face, especially on those spots with big and red pimples.
**Patience**
This is a must in this process. You need to have it for better results. So, if you do not have it, you can find other ways. Anyway, if you can be patient in a different skincare routine you have tried, why not with it?
***So, how to do it?***
**First**
Get the Malunngay leaves and wash them carefully. Remove the leaves and put them in a strainer. Just wait and let the excess water flow down.
**Second**
Get the mortar and pestle. Clean it thoroughly. You can also put plastic inside it so that it won't be stained by the juice of Malunggay later. Put the Malunggay leaves inside the mortar and pound it using the pestle. Stop when you think that the juice of the leaves is already present.
**Third**
Wash your face and make sure it is clean. Apply the juice to your face. You can use clean cotton pads and apply them to your face as if you were applying a toner. You can even use the pounded leaves to apply to your face. After it, look in the mirror. You will notice that you look like Princess Fiona because of the color of your face. But that is okay. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes or when you feel that the juice of Malunggay in your face, already dried up.
**Fourth**
You can now wash your face using clean water. You have the option to use mild soap for cleaning it or not. Then wipe your face with a clean cloth and voila! Your face will look better.
*Try this method for at least one week to see better results. In my case, I am using it every night. I hope it will work for you, too!*
Nearsightedness: What does it mean?
Nearsightedness is an eye condition where someone having it can see something near him clearly, but the far away things are blurry.
It is otherwise known as myopia. Its causes are not totally recognized, but several factors contribute to this condition, referred to as refractive error, delineated by precise vision up close. While, at a distance, it gets unclear.
According to the experts conducting a study with it, there are two risk factors why nearsightedness is triggered.
The first one is found to be genetic. It means that it can be passed from one generation to another generation. So, f the parents are both nearsighted, there is a great possibility for their children to develop it. A study found out that there are a hundred and fifty genes prone to myopia.
The second risk factor is directing the eyes closed to monitor computers, tablets, and even smartphones for extensive periods.
This condition must be detected early so that immediate action will be given.
***What triggers this condition?***
The need to glare or somewhat close the eyelids to clearly see
Blurry vision when looking at things in a quite distant place
Unclear sight when trying to read something in a distant location
Headaches caused by strain on the eyes
Having trouble viewing while riding transport, particularly at night
Nearsightedness is linked with a variety of difficulties from moderate to critical, such as:
Eyestrain
Impaired safety
Lowered quality of life
Other eye problems
What is meant by the term nearsighted?
Nearsighted is used to refer to those people having the condition of nearsightedness.
A nearsighted individual is capable of reading a book or viewing a computer monitor typically with ease. But these people will also have trouble seeing objects over the room.
Students who have this condition have the same difficulty, such as writing on a blackboard or whiteboard in a classroom.
Let us always remember that our eyes are more precious than gems. Without it, you will not be able to see anything in this world. So, always take care of our eyes and do not abuse them. Once it turns blank, it is impossible to revert it back.
*Medication choices for myopia correction involve:*
Eyeglasses
Wearing eyeglasses could correct it, and it is advisable to wear them, especially when reading. They are great for treating migraines related to vision.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be a harmless and useful way to improve the vision of typically having common visual impairments such as myopia. They go with the human eye, let a normal range of view, have no fringes to block your sight, and significantly lessen distortions.
Orthokeratology
This method is the application of specially created and matched contact lenses to improve vision by provisionally reshaping the cornea, or the clear part of the eye that shields the front part of our eyes.
There are several other purposes to wear eyeglasses, but the most important thing to do is always take care of our eyes and our health as a whole.
Once again, we should practice extra attention and care of our eyes because this is the only organ that allows us to view things.
Without our eyes, we can’t complete daily chores the usual way. We will not be able to appreciate the beauty of everything that surrounds us. Last but definitely not least, it will be harder for us to see the emotion of each and every one of us.
*Behind the most beautiful eyes, lay secrets deeper and darker than the mysterious sea.*
5 Action Movies Recommendations
Are you looking for some action movies to watch on? Began to get bored in the same movies with almost the same storylines? Why not read this article and get some ideas regarding action movies?
Action movies, from the word itself, is a movie genre in which the protagonist/s or the lead actors, often on the good side, are shoved into a chain of events that usually involve extreme and extensive fighting, violence, physical actions, acts of rescuing, furious chases fistfights and shootouts.
Some action films sometimes receive criticism for containing significant CGI amounts that apply computer animations to generate unrealistic, incredibly unbelievable situations.
So, the following are the top 5 recommended action movies you can watch.

It displays comprehensive details and information that General Luna and his men did during the Philippine-American War as he fights for freedom.
The movie shows to its audiences the idea of how Filipino soldiers were slain ruthlessly. This movie includes countless shootouts. It really showed how these soldiers are accepting what life is putting to them just a little more spoil.
This will make you realize that everyone should acknowledge them and give them the honor they deserve, especially that we already know how their lives ended, for freedom.

It also highlights various jaw-dropping set-pieces, just like in a restaurant hit where Anna steps in with an unloaded gun and steps out from that restaurant after shooting about a dozen of antagonists.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4649466/
***Movie Genre:*** `Action, Adventure, Comedy`
This action-packed movie from United Kindom, which was initially released on September 20, 2017, is a two hours twenty-one minutes long movie, but some say it seems like it is six hours. This is because the film weaves excitably from one set play to another set play and consumes extreme amounts of time on the characters' shots.
This movie is a *sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service.*
Fabricated City https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6399158/

Among these five movies, what do you think is the best one? Have you watched them already? If you still cannot answer these questions, why not try watching them?
*“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.”*
― **Terry Pratchett**
Knows No Boundaries
***In a world we thought we are not genuinely free, something has proved that no matter how many boundaries the world has, it can surpass them. That is the universal language.***
A universal language that differs from what we know. It is a thing that knows no boundaries. Do you now have a guess? If you thought that is music, you are right.
Music moves unobstructedly, surpassing the limits of language, belief, nation, among others. Anyone can enjoy music no matter how old or young you are.
Aside from being a natural earthly art form, it is an aural mode of language that is employed to signify passion and affect the feelings of the listener through the application of dynamics, use of words, style, and tone.
Music is also a compelling means to attach to God. As the most sincere and purest method of devotions and worship of God, it helps us unite with our souls.
For many of us, music can be our friend in times we need companions. It can lighten up our mood and can help us express our feelings more. This is because we can say that it is the window to our soul.
Apart from these things, what are the other things that music can do to us? To answer this, let us also go more in-depth with the topic.
**What are the powers of music?**
It is known that music has powerful effects on human minds. It has the power that can be used to cure various diseases such as anxiety, depression, among others. In studies that were conducted, ***music therapy*** appears to lessen depressive indications and anxiety.
If you love watching on Youtube and any other platforms, you may have watched already an operation where someone is playing music.
With this, music can encourage positive developments in an individual or patient's mood and overall well-being.
It also helps in improving concentration and is thus of great help to the students. Music helps us branch out into ***meditation music***, exemplary for attention and concentration since it is meant to alleviate stress and ease our minds.
People often do it while they are doing a task. Some students also listen to music when they are preparing for an exam or any other kind of test. And for some drivers, they would love listening to music while driving a vehicle.
By listening to some music, one tends to forget all the things that worry us, including sorrows and pains. But, to enjoy more good music, we need to further find our musical taste.
We all have our own battles. Each one of us is silently fighting with it. Music can help us feel better and motivate us that even if the world may seem harsh and full of hardships, we still have to enjoy and be humans. We felt emotions, and through music, it can help us express them more.
Now let us go back to the phrase where it says that music is a universal language.
There is no doubting the influence of music and how it has been a component of people's culture in the whole wide world. Having been used as a form of expression, telling a story, or even influencing others, it is proper to say that it is a universal form of communication.
Indeed, music is a universal language. Two people can be brought together, even if these two individuals come with different backgrounds, personal viewpoints, and analyses of a song based on how they feel about it and views. This thing can be done if they have the same taste in music.
With all these things, we can say that music is fundamental in our life. Everything that has rhythm has music. Our breathing also has a rhythm. Thus, we can say that there is music in every human being or a living creature. Music can convey all sorts of emotions to people.
*“Music is the universal language of mankind.”***– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow**
Hoping to Come True
In life, it is normal for us human beings to have wishes. Each of us in this incredible world certainly had a wish to obtain, just like hoping to have something and many other things that can be described in many other ways.
For some, they might want to have the newest gadget. There might also be those who wish to have a healthy lifestyle and a wealthy life while living in a peaceful place.
I have wishes, too. The first one is for my family and for me to always be healthy. The second one is for this pandemic to be ended now. Last but definitely not least is to have a sustainable life and to have a good life until my last breath. There are many things that I wish I could achieve.
At some period in their lives, most individuals have made at least one wish. And here are some of my friends together with their wishes.
**They say that we have our own flaws and weaknesses. I consider that life is a training experience. Recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become the better version of ourselves in anything we wish to do, whether concrete abilities and skills can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement, which eventually make us stronger in life.**
*I wish that we can overcome our own weaknesses and shortcomings. In order, we can love one another despite nationality, religion and etc. In results, we can live in this world peaceably. And by that, we will never exalt ourselves to one another which brings pride, envy and destruction.*
by: LoveSweet
**Undoubtedly, we always want to have a peaceful mind and live in a peaceful place filled with nice people. It is a stress-free state of soundness and calmness when there is no fighting or war, everything synchronising in absolute unanimity and freedom. Though the state of life does not depend on the substance process or the external growth we have, it rather depends on the internal growth of peace and joy.**
*If I had one wish, I only wish a world of peace and honesty. A world that is not dictated, with freedom, a world of real identities. As of today's society, we are not any more free to do whatever we think is right, we are all obliged to listen and act. If the world has peace and honesty, maybe the COVID-19 will not anymore be a threat to everyone.*
by: wisdompouch.cd
**The pandemic has really brought too many things in our lives. It not only threatens us but also brings anxiety and depression to others and takes away the usual thing we do every day before, especially our jobs. That is why it is common for everyone to wish that the virus will now come to an end.**
*I wish to end this pandemic because too many people died and suffer. Many people lost their jobs, especially those who have a low income. I want to and prayed every day that all of what happens here in our world will disappear—those new viruses, wars, climate changes etc. I never lose my faith and hope that someday we will wake up and back to our everyday life again.*
by: Mhin_sshaii
**You might have heard life's purpose so many times now. But, if you try to answer it, can you give your response right away? Sometimes, a question such as this which seems simple to answer will take us so long to give an honest reply. Some might couldn't answer the question and realize that they were living a dull and meaningless life and that this question could make them stumble. But, if you do not know what to say, think and reflect. In that way, you will find your real purpose.**
*My wish is for me to find my life's purpose. I want it because I feel empty when I don't know the real meaning of my life. Finding it and exploring, nourishing will improve your personality.*
*by:* PirtengOTuga
**Though many may have suffered from the threat of virus, better days will be coming. Just keep our faith and hopes high because God will always be here to protect us and save us from all negative things. Keep praying and following safety protocols, so that one day we will again do whatever the pandemic have stopped us to do.**
*I wish for the pandemic caused by the Corona Virus to be ended. The pandemic caused a lot of trouble for everyone like loss of work. A lot of people are now suffering depression and anxiety because of the Covid 19. And another reason I want it to end is that I want to socialize with my friends freely without thinking of getting infected.*
by: Louie098
Wishing for something we want in life is simply necessary for us to work harder to make it for our redemption. For me, it is already enough to find genuine happiness, having a simple yet sustainable life and free from any sickness. These were already good enough for me.
No matter what you wish for, believe that you can have it. Do not just wait for the time for it to come to you. Instead, make an action and believe in the power of your dream to attain it.
When our wish gets fulfilled, we will certainly be happy. I believe in the saying that, *"A thousand miles begins with a first step."* Wishing could be the first step, and if it is accompanied by actions and aspirations, it will definitely be attained.
*“Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough.”*
― **T.S. Eliot**
Big Events Happened in this Platform this Year
Days, weeks, and months have passed, but can you still remember some of the significant things that happened on this site?
If you cannot remember them now, let us decipher them one by one.
Note that these events are those that I have seen since the day I have joined this platform, which is five months ago.
***Bitcoin Cash Meme Contest***
Just a few days after I joined this platform before when this '*hot'* event was published by @micropresident . It drew the attention of many users here, including me, to have the chance to take a part of the prize pool.
**On the article:**
*"Nothing about this meme contest was to encourage personal attacks. The fact is that personal attacks are RAMPANT in the Bitcoin Cash "community" and this contest is meant to mock those these attacks and indirectly those who make them. They mascarade as attacks against the supposed motives of certain people, but in reality attacking a person's motives is identical to attacking them as a person. This is unacceptable, and I will continue mocking everyone that continues this sort of attack."*
Though, some took it for granted. They forget the rules when they first joined read.cash, such as personnal attacks, among others. This caused a major headache to read.cash team. Many users were banned due to it. I am not that sure if it was the main reason, but probably, why read.cash banned its own account.
But did you know that the article was tipped more than a thousand? One thousand of which, came from the biggest donor Mr. Marc De Mesel.
After this event is the emergence of various contests spearheaded by different users. Some have the primary intention of getting more benefits for themselves and fooling others by making contests *kunno* to get more subscribers, sponsors, and points in exchange for a little amount of cents.
***Increase to the fund***
When I joined the platform, the fund is just around $50,000, and this goes up and down.
A few months ago, it went up high, and the main reason is that @MarcDeMesel , the biggest donor of the site, has pledged and given more amount. This is something we must be thankful for.
***Old Point System was changed***
For those who do not know it yet, the point system before was different from the current one. Each user before could earn points depending on their activity on the site. I can still remember how happy I am each day because of the earnings. Before, you are lucky if you could earn a dollar or two or bonus tips from other users or power users. The emergence of new point system has somehow put an end to the greedy trait of other users.
***Emergence of Spam Users***
This site is very organized, but some users are tried to put trash in it. Some copied articles from internet and posted it here. Others even copy the posts of others just to earn points, and the worsest thing is they filled almost all of the comment box with the phrases such as *nice, good article, subscribe to me I will subscribe back you to you,* and many more things that are really annoying.
***Activity Bonus***
This is one of the biggest thing for me because some lucky users were given this special chance. They can earn extra tips based on their activity on the site. This thing has both good and bad sides. I did not have it, but I am not one of those who got jealous. Well, it might be available again some other time, and who knows, I might be chosen as one of those who may have it?
***The Current Reward System***
I do not know when it was started, but I love it. I can say that it is better from the point system before. This is because someone could earn a dollar or even bigger just by making one article. Actually, I was being pushed to publish better articles each day with the hopes of getting higher tips.
*And many more other events. If you know something that was not mentioned above, feel free to write it down.*
If you are wondering why I know these things, that is simply because I already have an account before. Due to my busy schedule, I could not use the account regularly until I forget the password. Unfortunately, I have not verified my email in that account, so I could not recover it. Since we have a few weeks' break from school, I decided to go back here, and I was quite surprised with the new things here, especially along with the point system, but that would be another story. It is beyond this topic already so, I won't dive deeper into that topic.
*Let me ask you a question, are you expecting for big surprises in this coming year? Would you dare to share it with us?*
Anyway, I hope you have picked or learned a thing or two by reading this article. If you know more things that have happened this year on this site, do not forget to share them with us.
*Thanks for reading, and may all of us have a happy new year!*
*"Let the old year-end and the New Year begin with the warmest of aspirations. Nights will be dark, but days will be light, wishing your life to be always bright. Happy New Year!"*
Resilience for 2021: Tonight's the Big Night
In a few hours, twenty-twenty-one will now enter. May this coming year fill the world with good things, and may all the bad things that happened this year be changed with more blessings and good news next year. The virus is still there, with the vaccines remain unperfected, but may this coming year provide the answers for our prayers. Keep the faith.
New Year is worth celebrating the day. It is a mere and recognized event that January 1 is celebrated as one of the most important and most prestigious days worldwide. This day is respected as a day packed with glorious fun and excitement.
A new chapter will unfold in a few hours, and new beginnings will start. But the question is, have you prepared the things you usually have during the past celebrations of New Year?
***Let us start it with round objects.***
***Having round fruits on the table***
In the Philipines, New Year is the second most renowned celebration after Christmas. One practice Filipinos have for embracing the new year's entrance is having twelve round fruits on the table. This said tradition is maintained to bring fortune and prosperity for the new year.
Number twelve signifies the number of months in the year, while the circular fruits signify money or coins. Hence, preparing these fruits on New Year's Eve symbolises success and bounty for the whole family.
Most of the time, the fruits being served are:
***Apples***
The red ones signifies good luck as you embrace the new year, while the color green apples are incorporated with wealth.
***Oranges***
Oranges have strong bright color and this fruit gives life to the plate with the other fruits.
***Guavas***
Guavas come in different varieties and shapes, so make sure to pick those in circular form.
***Lanzones***
Lanzones has a sticky sap, but this is another fruit treat to be added on the plate.
***Star Apple***
This fruit is locally known as *caimito,* and it is a good source of antioxidants, which is good for the health.
***Rambutan***
This fruit is a hairy one, but do not be scared with it. This fruit is sweet and delicious.
***Grapes***
Grapes has always been a part of the twelve round fruits in the plate or basket, so it is always serve during the new year's eve.
***Watermelon***
This is quite big yet juicy. It is a great source of Vitamin C. Pick the smaller ones to have enough space for the others.
***Pineapple***
Pineapple is a tropic fruit in the Philippines that is why it is a popular selection among Filipinos when it comes to the New Year fruit bowl.
***Melon***
This fruit is very round in shape so it is definitely gets in to the criteria for round fruits to be served.
***Pear***
Having pear on the list gives more color to the table. Not only it good when it comes to taste, it is also pleasant to the eyes.
***Pomegranate***
Pomegranate is locally known as *granada fruit.* Its taste may extend from sour to sweet.
Others also have other fruits in their table and have more or less of the twelve mentioned fruits. Other families also served a dozen of eggs together with the round fruits to attract more luck. Anyways, it is not only the presence of the circular fruits that count, faith do as well.
***Coins and cash***
It has also been a tradition for Filipinos to scatter coins inside their house and fill in their wallets with new bills to attract good fortune. What makes it a nice tradition is that, once the entrance of new year came, we go, find, and pick those coins and cash. It is a joyful practice and could make you feel happier each time you find bigger bills.
***Wearing Polka Dots***
Wondering why there are those who wear shirts or dresses with a polka dots design during the celebration of New Year? Well, that is simply because it attracts good fortune. It does not matter what is the pattern of the polka dots. It could go on your shirt, shoes, or even on your underwear. Round designs are said to induce in prosperity, abundance, and wealth!
And wait, there's still more. Do not forget the loud noises as it is believed to drive away from the negative vibes and the evil. But since we cannot do most of the usual thing, we do before due to the current situation we are in. But anyway, always practice safety protocols to have a safe and sound celebration.
If you want to get taller, do not also forget to jump on new year's eve. Do not forget to serve sticky foods to have stronger family ties and pancit for long life. Do not forget to open up your doors and windows to let prosperity and good luck get it to your house. And ready you resolution for this coming year!
May all of us be able to celebrate this big event with a grateful hearts. No matter how little or big the foods that will be served in our tables later at *media noche*, may all of us feel grateful as we celebrate together the new year.
*Let there be resilience this coming year. Happy New Year!*

Swap Test
Life has always been easy for Amanda. She always gets what she wanted to have, and she is living a life she dreamed. But, one thing has changed it and turned it upside down. Will she be able to revert what happened and take back what she initially have?
***Amanda***
It was raining outside, and I forget to bring my umbrella. I was running so fast to get inside the school immediately to avoid getting wet.
I was just three steps away from the gate when suddenly, a strong force hit my left part of my body. I do not know what it is, but I am sure of only one thing: I saw my lifeless body on the road with drops of blood scattered everywhere. Then after that, I lost my consciousness.
I woke up to the sound of different animals in the surroundings. I was not used to hearing those sounds because our village is far from farmlands.
I was even surprised to see the bed I am lying at. I get even suprise when I saw the type of cloth I am currently wearing. I screamed so loud and slapped my face hoping that it was just a nightmare, but I was not expecting that I will get hurt with the things I did to my body. I really did not.
An old lady appear in front of me. She looks familiar. She was the mother of ... oh no, this should not be happening.
I am really getting hysterical. I felt goosebumps. The lady asks what is happening to me, but I can't help but scream. This is totally unbelievable.
As much as I do not want to look in front of the mirror for knowing the truth, but a part of my brain is directing me to do it. I was terrified to know the truth from what is happening, but it is too late because I was already looking at the mirror.
I am trying to close my eyes, but it seems like they were fixed. Now, I see my face in it, and this is not the face I am expecting.
I was relieved when I saw that it is still my face. That is why I ran outside only to find out that someone I hated so much was standing outside.
I felt that my blood is raging when I saw her in my favorite dress, with all my accessories.
I was about to slap her when her mother stopped my hand. She then walks away saying the words "It's mine, now."
I was scolded by her mother, and I really can't understand why she is calling me her daughter when, in fact, I was not her daughter. I tried to say it, but the old lady laughs at me.
She even said I came out from her, and she is asking me where I got the gut to say all those things. She even said I am delusional. But I still insist on the truth. The truth that seemed to become lies when she showed me their family picture.
I was there, and that gave me a big puzzle, which caused me to get dazed.

A Colorful Canvas
Not only a photo that worth a thousand words, paintings and art works do as well. It demonstrates many things. It is a means for somebody to enunciate their viewpoints, express their emotions, and relate to the world in a way that proffers them productive liberation.
It may help anyone express not just your ideas but your feeling and emotions also. It may help you feel great and help you traverse your creativity by painting the thing you picture in your imaginations.
This capacity to manifest one’s prospects imaginatively and carefully is significant to the development of the society.
Would you agree it should not be covered and hidden lastingly from the eye of the public just because others perceive it as indecent and that many people have diverse interpretations as to what is traversing the line?
Without any doubt, only specific, apparent elements can be regarded as indecent.
*****Acrylic Painting*****
This type of painting needs acrylic paint. This kind of paint is water-soluble, meaning this paint dries quickly. It is also a non-toxic paint and price-efficient, usually making it one of the top choices for artists of all ability levels.
*Do you know that it is not predisposed to breaking or yellowing?*
*****Watercolor Art*****
*When starting to paint, most of the time, watercolor is being used. Who would not remember the famous watercolor with the yellow container?*
It is made from dyes dissolved in a water-based solvent. It is also identified for the translucent films they form and prevails solvent even while dry. It would let the artists make any changes and or fillers even when the coating is dry.
*Though, this kind of painting needs extra care as it is easy to be damaged.*
*****Pastel Painting*****
This kind of piece of work has been widely used even before. It is one of the favorites of some artists because of its way.
By using it*,* the *c*olors are typically mixed and blended orderly, and if you are seeming for a watercolor nature result, you can make use of water-soluble pastels, which are also available in the market.
*These paintings are also delicate because the dye can rise from the cover, so they should be enclosed beneath the glass.*
*****Coffee*****
Recently, there are some pieces of works that go viral because of their creativeness. It includes the coffee arts.
From the word itself, these paintings are done using coffee as the ink. These need extra skill, and this is definitely a resourceful kind of act.
Who would think it is possible? Of course, many resourceful and creative individuals.
*****Street Arts*****
This art is a kind of visual art piece that can be viewed by the public eye. In the eyes of appreciative individuals, it may seem pleasant and artistic. Still, in the eyes of the law, this is deemed vandalism, mutilating, or abusing others' private property without the owner's permission. Street art has been very dubious because many artists perceive it as an art style that can develop a powerful message.
*Painting is not just merely a form of art. It is one way of expressing one's self and may serve as a comfort zone when everything seemed to be difficult. A way to escape from the harsh treatment of others in the society.*
For those who are planning to learn this skill next year, do not think twice. Try it, guys, because it will definitely full of fun and excitement. Again, you are not only learning. You will also be expressing yourself and your thoughts.

Auld Lang Syne
The end of the year is about to come, a new chapter of life is about to unfold. It is worth cherishing the good things that occurred in the whole year and being thankful for individuals who became part of our life despite the things that test our strength and faith.

Video credits to **Christmas Songs and Carols - Love to Sing** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn0JHLJWiO3_Y5xfNPcF_Ug
Have you heard the song that was attached above? What comes to your mind each time you hear it?
This year's celebration of Christmas and New Year may be different from the past years, but what matters the most is we celebrate it with all our heart.
*Should auld acquaintance be forgot*
*And never brought to mind?*
*Should auld acquaintance be forgot*
*And days of auld lang syne?*
***Auld Lang Syne*** is a Scottish song with lyrics ascribed to Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. The one who composes it is not clearly identified, but the opening verse and chorus are now closely linked with the New Year celebration to some countries.
Speaking of New Year Celebration, have you prepared things and fruits with circle form? Have it to have a prosperous and fruitful new year.
And who wouldn't jump on the New Year's eve? That will make you a bit taller! That's a belief, but there is no wrong by trying it. So, give it a try.
It will not also be forgotten to prepare New Year's resolutions. But the question is, are they really attainable?
Many people do it each year, but sometimes they may end up accomplishing one or two things only at the end of the year. Each year, a hundred thousand to millions of individuals write New Year's resolutions, aspiring to attract positive development into their lives. Each year's repeating lines include a more active plan to well-being and fitness, convalescent finances, have flawless skin, and attaining new personal achievements.
What if you will write the opposite? Will it turn out to be effective? Probably, you would accomplish many things. It is just a sort of joke, but if you come to think of it, there is a point. If your resolution is to get fat and eat a lot of sweets, you may have diabetes. So, make sure that if you put a thing or two in your resolution, make sure that it is attainable.
The following are the list of the most common thing added to their new year's resolution.
Exercise more
It is first on the list because people love having physically fit body. Well, who does not?
Lose weight
Foods is life, isn't it? We love eating. Thus, we get fat, and then we want to burn the extra fats and lose weight. That seems to be a cycle.
Achieve a healthy looking skin.
Having pimples is normal, but having breakouts is definitely a frustrating one. It lowers one's confidence. Thus, those who have acnes and all, definitely put in their resolution to have a flawless skin.
Get organized
Sometimes, there are people who really do not care about organizing things in their house especially in their rooms. Thus, they often put in their resolution to become organized next year.
Learn a new skill or hobby
We always want to learn and we always want to acquire new skill because we are fond of exploring things.
Live life to the fullest
Living life is definitely a fulfilling one. It may include travelling more and going to places that you want to explore and many things!
Save more money / spend less money
Money is important. They say, it can make the world go round. We always want to have a fruitful years and wealthy life.
Spend more time with family and friends
Spending time with family is not compensable with any other things. It is priceless. This what we want each year.
Just a tip, if you really want to achieve the things you have listed, make sure you are mentally aware for change and that you only put specific goals that are attainable/
What matters the most is that you made things that earn you enjoyment and fulfil the most important things. This year is indeed full of unexpected things, let us hope that next year would be different, be prosperous, and go back now in its normal state.

Effortless Transmission
Covid-19 has effortless transmission from one person to another. Therefore, gathering or bringing together many people in one place can harm everyone if one of them carries the virus.
As a result, the government's implemented measures are anchored in the ban on mass gatherings and the practice of social distancing in crowded places.
*****Napakadaling transmisyon*****
Ang covid-19 ay mayroong napakadaling transmisyon mula sa ibang tao papunta sa iba, samakatuwid, ang pagkukumpulan o pagsasama-sama ng maraming tao sa isang lugar ay makakapagpahamak sa lahat kung ang isa sa kanila ay nagdadala ng virus.
*****Social distancing*****
Dahil dito, ang mga ipinatupad na hakbang ng gobyerno ay nakaangkla sa pagbabawal ng mass gatherings at pagsasagawa ng social distancing kung nasa matataong lugar. Kaya kailangan na maging masunurin ang mga Filipino ngayong tayo ay nasa gitna ng krisis dahil ang pinapangalagaan natin dito ay ang public health.
*****Sundin ang mga panuntunan*****
Kailangan nating sundin ang mga panuntunan simula sa paglabas sa barangay, sa pamimili ng mga pangangailangan, at kung saan pa man pumunta gaya ng pagsuot ng face mask, paggamit ng alcohol, at iba pa dahil kailangan nating mabawasan ang posibilidad na tumaas pa ang bilang ng kaso sa ating bansa.
Kung hindi natin susundin ang mga ipinapatupad ng ating lipunan, mas lalala ang ating problema lalo na’t hirap tayo sa pagtutustos sa mga pangangailangan ng mga maysakit pati na rin ng mga pamilyang hindi makapagtrabaho.
*****Maging masunurin*****
Higit sa lahat, kapag hindi tayo magiging masunurin, maaaring tayo ang mahawaan na nangangahulugang dumaragdag tayo sa problema ng ating bansa. ang mga kailangan natin sundin ay hindi upang limitahan ang ating kalayaan kundi upang maprotektahan ang bawat isa sa nakamamatay na sakit.
Napakaraming bagay ang kinakatakutan ko magmula nang dumating ang sakit na covid-19 sa ating bansa ngunit ang pinakapinapangambahan ko ay ang pagkaubos ng pera ng gobyerno at ng taumbayan.
*****Mahalaga ang pera para magsurvive*****
Bago dumating ang covid-19 sa bansa, naniniwala ako na ang pera ay mahalaga pero hindi dito makukuha ang tunay na kaligayahan subalit ngayong tayo ay lumalaban sa isang nakamamatay na sakit, mahalaga ang pera upang tayo ay mag(survive).
Natatakot akong maubos o magkulang ang pera ng gobyerno dahil sa ngayon pa lang ay hindi na sapat ang ating badyet upang tugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng ating bansa, kung magkukulang ito, mas lalong maghihirap ang mga pamilya na umaasa lamang sa ayuda na bigay ng pamahalaan at mas lalong hindi matutugunan ng gobyerno ang kailangang medikal ng mga pasyente ng covid-19.
Kung mauubos ang pera ng taumbayan, maaaring may mga panibagong problemang maitataas o di kaya’y mamamatay sa gutom ang mga kababayan nating walang pangkabuhayan sa kasalukuyan.
If we do not follow the rules of our society, our problem will worsen, especially since we are struggling to provide for the needs of the sick and the families who cannot work.
*What we need is to follow not to limit our freedom but to protect each other from deadly diseases.*
*"Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death."*

Almost Trash turned to Valuable Stuff
Do you have old shoes at home where the color has undergone to discoloration? Are you going to put them away? Wait a minute, you can still use them!
With the power of creativity, you can eventually use them again. You can clean them, repaint them, recycle them and much more stuff you can do with it.
Are you ready with it?
***Clean them to make them look new***
They say you have to always clean your shoes because it helps determine one's cleanliness. If your shoes got dirty and look like old already, do not dump them yet. Instead, use your creativity, clean them and remove all the dirt. After that, it will look new again.
Admit it or not, some individuals got lazy cleaning their shoes.
*****Repair minor damages*****
Does your pair of shoes get a little damage? Then, you should try repairing them. Put shoe glue if there is a tear or something like that. But if your power cannot do it anymore, then you should consult expert shoe repairers.
*****Repurpose your shoes*****
Adapt your old shoe or two into a comical, stylish planter that might give recognition to creativeness or administer an excellent shoe variation. Just be assured that there is a sufficient seepage or utilise your footwear as pots or even vases.
After that, repaint them with the style you have chosen. No matter what kind of design you put in it, as long as you have expressed yourself that is more than enough already.
*****Sharing is caring*****
If after recycling or cleaning them and they won't fit on your shoes and your fashion sense already, you can donate them or give them to those in need. In that way, you have not only helped nature, you also have made somebody happy.
*****Upcycling your shoes into the next level*****
Do you feel that your shoes look dull enough? Bring them into the next level by repainting them with your chosen style. This may not only help you achieve the looks you want for your shoes, but it may also help you express more yourself.
*The following are the upcycling ideas:*
First of all, note that each variation may require different preparations and materials. But for this article, we will consider the shoes with canvas or mesh and leather surfaces.
You can paint your shoes to revitalize them or to make an original idea to life.
*Materials needed:*
Leather paint (You can make use of acrylic paint as an alternative)
Paint Brushes (Thin and thick)
Tapes (Vinyl or masking tape)
Markers (Used to dill in colors and outlines)
Pencil (For sketching)
***Steps:***
Prepare the materials needed.
Put tape on the areas that will not be painted. Also remember to remove the strings of the shoes.
Get the shoes and sketch the design you desire. Plan out your pattern on a paper first providing for the colors you will need to apply.
After sketching, fill it with paint. The possible options you can choose from are acrylic paint, leather paint, spray paint, and even paint markers, depending on the kind of shoe. Use the thin paint brush for details and use the thick one for thicker surfaces.
While painting your shoes using the spray is easy, it won't let you to take a very detailed look or appearance. Spraying serves best when you are designing your intact shoes with a particular color.
Let it dry for a few minutes. Do not touch the shoes if it is not yet dry as it may ruin your design.
Use cleaning alcohol for cleaning but do not allow your shoes to become too damp. Let them dry and then clean them again. Do extra coat, if necessitated, to get that impeccable look.
Then, refine the edges and outlines by using the markers.
That's it! I hope you like the new design of your shoes!

[4] Essence of Giving
A few hours ago, a new notification pops up at the top of this site when I opened it. At first, I was really excited because it is another site to interact with others in a louder way! What's even nicer is that it also gives free tips!
If you want to visit my profile, you can go here. https://noise.cash/u/Dolores
It is still new yet it is super promising! The features are just limited as of the moment but what is good to it is that it really makes your thoughts aloud! I remember again a lyric from a song, "it goes louder and louder, until it became a battle cry."
Well, I have received some tips already and I also love giving tips to anyone who has amazing thoughts. Well, today is Christmas and of course, giving is such a good act. Like what they say, it is better to give than to receive and so I do give tips to anyone even if I do not know them yet because that is the spirit!
Well, a few tips, if you want to continuously receive free tips you can use in tipping, do not take a lot of percentage from what you tip. For me, the ideal percentage could be around 20-50% depending on how witty or how condemning the thoughts shared by other users.
Yes, it may be new yet it is already making a way to get its name on top!
Few random things that I love with this fresh yet amazing site are the following:
****Unlimited Message****
Once you have posted a message it will appear at the top of the explore page. Well, I have noticed that what appears on top are not the most viewed nor boosted posts, but the most recent ones. If you have not posted yet your first ever post there, give it a try now.
****Free Tips****
It also give free tips. Yes, you heard it right. Though, you cannot take them or withdraw them directly. But you can use it to tip anyone and of course you can get a percentage of it. The range of the percentage is from twenty to eighty percent.
****More Interaction and Louder****
In here, some are not writing down their comments or interacting with others since the topics most of the time are random or serious ones. But there, you can write anything short and very relatable, and that really caused a lot of fun and it is the type of noisy environment you might don't want to get rid of.
***And a lot more. I do not want to spoil you more so I hope you will find it interesting!***
P.S.
I hope that in the coming days, we will be able to change now our avatar there. Let's hope!
*Remember that it is always better to give than to receive. Sharing is caring. We all have a choice but I hope you will do what you think and what is really right. Thanks!*
