Things My Pets Taught Me
Owning a pet is one of the most joyous and best experiences we could have in our lifetime. I've spent half of my life having a pet and I could say that those years are my most happiest and unforgattable ones I have so far. I currently have 3 pets, Luna (cat), Mingming (obviously a cat Lol) and Mishi (dog). Both of my cats are boys and only our dog is the girl.
This kind of happiness will only be understand by those people who are really into animals too. In every relationship, we both learn from each other. My pets have probably learned something from me and I do have from them too. Here are the 5 things that my pets taught me.

They Taught Me That Happiness Could Be Found Even At The Small Things

I've come to some point where an upvote from someone here can make me feel happy for the whole day already, I swear. I remember when one of the user here upvoted my article and the price is kinda big for me, I got teary eyes after I saw that. When it comes to my pets naman, we all know that animals are so good at entertaining themselves. Like my cats, even just a piece of cloth, they can be happy. My dog mishi, when I shared her a small piece of chicken from my ulam, she's already happy with it. It is just too precious to see them being so happy over the things we see as a little thing only.
They Taught Me That It Is Really Our Actions That Speaks Louder Than Our Words

Obviously, they can't speak literally but I've already heard and read so many words from other people who I've known before who broke their words and didn't even did those to me. Words that was full of lies which my pets can't do to me. After being with them for years, they really prove to me that actions are more satisfying to see than hearing a flowery words. By just being so happy that sometimes makes them pee after not seeing me for a long time really speaks a lot. By just staying by my side and laying at my legs whenever I sit beside them really shows how they care for me through staying with me for the whole time. They're so sweet, whenever they're doing this to me, I always thanked them when I started to feel better again for the empathy they showed me. They're the best.
They Taught Me That It's Okay To Look Weird

If a certain thing makes me happy, then I won't be afraid to do it. Others may judge me for I look and act like a weirdo, as long as I'm happy and it makes me entertained, I won't bother myself at overthingking about what people will say about me. It's me and it's my life in the first place, not theirs. Just like my pets, I sometimes see them being at their most weird face and actions while being playful, but I'll just do is to pick my phone and start recording them while having fun.
They taught me that life is short, enjoy it and be kind everyday

Aren't the animals are the most innocent and kindest among all God's creation? When we loved an animal and they loved us back, they will spend the rest of their lives with us. They are the best examples of the faithful ones. Just feed them and they will love you the rest of their lives. Even though sometimes, my pet's food isn't enough for them yet they still so clingy to me. Even though I forgot sometimes to say goodbye to them when I am going somewhere, I still receives a warm welcome from them every time I get home. They do not harbor resentment, they don't know what hatred means because all they know is to love, to eat, run and play.
They Taught Me How To Be Myself

Sometimes, especially my cats are being maldito to me. That moment that I've already gave my best to call them in different ways I can like calling their names and making the sound of *"pspsps"* yet I can't get their attention is the best example for this. Also when they've destroyed something. Animals don't know how to pretend or to be plastic but my realization here is even though they sometimes ignore me or destroys my stuffs, I still love them. In reality, we don't need to show the good sides of us only, because right people will love us unconditionally. They'll love our flaws and attitudes as there is no perfect ones. Don't be shy to be yourself to other people, and once you already did this, you'll get to know who really love and cares for you than those who are not.
________________________
I see my pets not as cats and dog anymore. Instead, I see them as an angel in disguise. They're trully heaven sent. I'm so glad that they're the ones who literally stayed at me during these phase in my life where confusion, pressure, heartbreaks, problems are slowly killing me all together. They are saving me from extreme sadness. They're my guardian angels.

My Highlights Of The Week
I skipped one day yesterday for publishing an article here as I searched for a job again in different websites such as Jora, Indeed and BossJob PH. I also practiced my answers in different possible questions during interview so that I'm well equipped. Just like in a war, we can't just go there with just ourselves, we need to have weapons and knowledge about how to use them so that we could survive the war.
Swimming In Montalban
First ganap was when we went to Montalban, Rizal to celebrate my uncle's birthday. He's the father of my sister's boyfriend. That was also the time when I met for the very first time my tita, mother of my sister's boyfriend. However, even though it just my first time spending time with them, I never felt like I'm out of place. They always approach me and talk to me as I'm shy, but after some hours, I get comfortable with them too. They're nice. While in the pool, all the millennials like us played on the 5 ft pool. We played the **Hanapan ng Barya** and **Tag Game**. There is a consequences that if we lose, we need to slip through between the legs of each winning players under the water and it's so fun! Here's a group photo of us after we played the game of tag on the pool.
Getting my Boarding Pass to Another Planet
I submitted my name to NASA after I read one of the comments of a stranger from the comment section of the video which I'm watching that time on yt. It's about the universe, planets, theories and more. It's a website that NASA created for all the people around the world who wants to include their names to **NASA's next Mars Mission**. In short, once we register our names on that website, we will have a chance to get to the Red Planet but it is just our names, not literally us. But atleast, our names will be forever in Mars once it is succefully landed there. If you want to include your name too, just click here. https://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/future
This is what the ticket would look like.
The next day, I found another website where I can also send my name but not in Mars anymore but to the Moon. If you're a moon lover like me, you shouldn't miss this. Atleast, our names will get a chance to get closer to our favorite astronomical bodies like the Moon. Here's the link for the **Artemis I mission to the moon**, click here. You can read more informations about these missions outside the world on their websites as well. https://www.nasa.gov/send-your-name-with-artemis/#user-information
Here's mine.
I got to know these because of my obsession in watching informative videos about the outer space, the planets, rovers, satelite probes and the whole universe itself. I've actually watched a video about the different theories, and one of those is the multiverse. Imagine, our solar system is just a dot in entire Milky Way and milky way is just one of millions of galaxies that the our universe has. And outside our universe, there could be thousands or millions of different universe that are existing too. Universe is so wide and for sure the studies of humans about the mezmerising universe is unending too. But I'm sure I'm already gone the time when humans get a chance to visit another galaxy like Andromeda, sad.
Getting my NBI Clearance and Visiting the Ayala Terraces
I went to Robinsons Mall to get my NBI Clearance as it was the day I scheduled my self for my NBI. It was my first time getting an NBI Clearance, so what I did all the time there is to ask from the people around me. Since I have a First Time Job Seeker Certificate, I assumed that there will be no more fees once I get there but the printing and xerox copy took my 120 pesos. Printing and xerox shop inside the mall is so expensive LOL. The pila is kinda long but fast that it only took me 35 minutes to be at the counter for my biometrics and picture. However, unlike to other people who got their NBI right after taking their biometrics and picture. Me, I need to wait 10 days but it's okay since I'm not in a rush naman.
After that, I visited the Mall that once became my tambayan when I was still studying. It just saddens me as I roamed around and see the mall that changed a lot. It is no longer lively like it was used to before even if we are already in alert level 1. I had teary eyes while walking for I have a lot of memories here, including my memories with my ex and college friends.
But before I leave the mall, I went to the bathroom to take a selfie. The mall have a few people the time that's why I'm the only one on that bathroom for the whole time that I stayed there.
Wearing this jacket is a mistake, but I don't have any choice but to wear it because I don't have nice clothes left on my drawer besides from this. The paper bag beside me are containing my documents such as psa, nso, ID's and more.
Then after comforting myself while I'm in the bathroom after being sad from all my memories in this mall, **I went home happy, not because I got a chance to visit this mall again but because I've managed to walk alone in this mall that was full of memories including my precious moments with the person I love who already have someone else now... It's an achievement for me.**
Oh, you made this far!

Going Back
Have you ever been into a situation where you realized that you've already lose your passion over the things you used to do before?
There is so many factors that could affects us in losing interest over a thing, people or places. It could be when someone broke our heart, a family problem, financial problem, pressure, worried about our future and many more. When we are going through these problems, we tend to feel unmotivated. Even if we are the smartest person in our school when someone hurt us emotionally, we could lose ourselves. We will be unmotivated, hopeless, cried all day and night in our rooms, feeling like we don't know what to do next anymore until it leads us to losing our interests from the things we used to love before. Our favorite comedy movies that we used to love watching before no longer makes us laugh, the old places that used to be our favorite place to stay were no longer gives us peace. Hobbies that we used to do almost everyday before can't motivate us anymore now. How could be these things became boring to us now?
But, losing our interest over a certain thing doesn't mean we've already lost it all. After going through a hard time, we became stronger and smarter. When someone broke our heart, the only key for the true happiness is loving ourselves even more. If we feel like we no longer see our old happy self in us anymore, we can **GO BACK**, not on the traumas and bad experiences but on the things that makes us happy before. Because if we feel like our hobbies don't makes us happy and motivated, maybe that's not us anymore. Just keep in mind that only our bad experiences changed us and not the good ones.
A couple of days ago, I decided to draw again as I've noticed that I have no time and interest anymore in this hobby of mine that I used to love before. If you'll read some of my articles here from these past weeks, I've shared here what I'm going through these days. And those experiences from last year made me lose interest in doing the things that I used to love. I cried when I realized those things, that I feel like I can't see my old self in me again. Going back, that last time I drew was already 2 years ago, 2020. All throughout the year 2021, I'm broke and most of the time I'm sad. I didn't even remember that I have a hobby due to emotional breakdowns almost everyday and week. Now, I decided to be back again when I accidentally saw my old pencil while cleaning my stuffs.
This is my favorite pencil to use when I'm sketching and answering exams. I think this pencil became my luck as well as I always get high scores in every exams I take when I was still studying. Moving on, I bought oslo paper for where I will draw the reference I chose from Pinterest. First, I drew grid lines using a very light lines that will help me aligning the eyes cause that's where I take too long when sketching. Plus, it's been a while already since the last time I drew too.
**From this:**
**To this:**
Still not done with the hair cuz my pencil run out of eraser. But this work is 90% done. I just need to put more strokes on her left side of hair and put color on her hat. Also, this is my first time putting freckles on the face of my subject. I was a bit nervous at first as it might ruin the over all work of mine but with I take risk and drew each of those with gentle and hope that it'll look nice after. This art of mine took me 2 days, the first photo took me 3 hours and then I get tired and decided to finish it the next day.
I just accidentally found my pencil and never thought it will teach me something that is really meaningful that I should try. Going back to my old self, old hobbies and old favorites. Yes, it really feels better ♡.

My Ganap Yesterday
Just yesterday, March 6, 2022. One of my high school bestie invited us to go to the mall because she said she will treat us. It's once in a blue moon so who we are to say no, me and my other friend both answered yes agad. Since we live in a place where we are in the middle of city and province, we chose the mall from province because we rarely go there and the last time we've been there was already 3 years ago. It's the mall in Bulacan, it is just 5.6 kilometers away from us which only took us 20 minutes to get there.
Since it was sunday yesterday, we were all busy cleaning our own houses and washing our clothes. Because of the busy schedule during morning, we decided to leave our houses at 3 pm and spend our merienda and dinner at the mall instead. Because of that, it made me realize that we are no longer a teen already because we were not afraid to get home late anymore unlike before when we were still in junior high school where at exact 7 in the evening, we need to be at home na or else we will gonna receive a call from our parents scolding us.
Thanks to these amazing writers/sponsors 👆
When we arrived at the mall, we were amazed at how many security guards are there to guiding the people who will cross the road to enter the mall, I think there are 4 security guards outside, and 2 on the entrance. When I finally entered the mall, I didn't expect the crowd of people inside, seems like the mall became lively again unlike from the past months. We went to the garden right away to see its changes because that garden is the mall's main tourist attraction as they have a colorful fountain there, a wide fake grass where people can sit or stay and their iconic bridge. As we get there, their garden really improved especially to its designs. The bridge are so colorful at night, there are a lot of tables and chairs around, the garden was full of colorful light together with the dancing fountains on the other side.
Luckily, after we ate our merienda in Mcdo we found an unoccupied table outside so we rushed ourselves to get on that table because there were a lot of people there who are looking for tables too but we first got the table hehe. While drinking our drinks that we bought from Mcdo, the sky showed us this shades of colors.
We were having a deep talk in an open area that was surrounded by colorful bulbs with a majestic combination of color blue and pink in the sky. It really feels great, I swear it is.
Our conversations started from love advices to personal problems to past and current tsismis to parallel universe to reincarnation to fast talk. You know when you are in a group of friends where you are really closed to, your conversations will be like this and you feel like the time seems running too fast as the topics gets exciter and senseful. Feels like a day is not enough right? That is exactly what we felt yesterday.
Those are the fountains ⤴
Since we already loved our spot and the fast food chains inside were full of customers too, we have decided to take out our orders na lang for our dinner. We chose Chowking naman this time because we are all fried rice lovers hehe. While eating our dinner under the colorful lights and twinkling stars, our deep conversation continue as well.
Yesterday was indeed a day well spent. Me and my friends became closer even more as we shared some of our deepest secrets and regrets in life. They are my friends who's been with me since I was 13 and up until now that I'm 21, we are all still together. The kind of friends that even though we don't see each others for years, we're still friends. The kind of friends who are always there for me and are literally a one call away. The kind of friends who gives me the real definition of **FRIENDS**.
This is us, before we go home we take our last pic for that day. Sorry for those plastic bags on our table hehe, those are what we have eaten while having our talk show for hours hehe. I'm the one who's wearing white top. Aslo, we are actually 4 but the other one didn't had a chance to be with us yesterday as she's preparing for her OJT. All of them are already a graduating students now, I supposed to be a graduating student now too but I stopped last 2020. But despite of that, once I see them wearing that black toga while holding their diploma, I will be happy for myself too and especially for them.
Indeed, high school friends are the best!
Oh, you made this far!
Have a great day wonderful people ♡.
My Top 3 Insecurities
Because of the standards that the society built even before, a lot of us are experiencing or have experienced feeling sad about ourselves just because we didn't meet some or all of the qualities that everyone's are looking for. Unfortunately up until today, in order to be called beautiful we should have a nice eyes, fit and sexy body, clear and smooth skin, shiny hair, long legs and more. Especially in the current generation where we are exempted to everyone's judgement and bash once we are beautiful or handsome, rich, famous, have a nice background in life etcetera.
Seeing those girls on instagram that has a lot of these qualities sometimes makes me feel insecured. I know I'm not the only one who are experiencing this but it is just so sad to think that because of these standards, a lot of us are being depressed, rejected and hopeless. In this article, I will share here my **top 3 insecurities** and why.
First on the list would be;
My Height
I think this is the most common insecurities that most of us have. During my elementary days, I was getting bullied because of my physical looks specifically my height. I am just a small, shy and introvert girl that time. My classmates were often called me pandak or liit. I remembered the exact line that one of the mean girls who always bully me said during 3rd grade was when she shouted, "Pandak kase!" means "Cause she's small!" in front of our class while looking at me then he rolled her eyes at me and laughed together with her friends after. I was so embarassed that time, I wasn't able hold my tears anymore as it really hurts me. And what makes my situation even worser that time is I don't have friends. Until now, that memory is still in me. The pain and trauma is still in me. That's the reason why my height became my greatest insecurity about myself up until now. However, I think I can say that I've already accepted it but there is still a part of me who still gets hurt when someone cracks a joke about my height.
My Looks
Honestly, I sometimes think of my looks could be the reason why people I love left me. I don't have all the characteristics of a beautiful girl plus I had a pimple breakout last 2020. My pimples back then took away all my confidence to the point that I am no longer showing my face at every photo, if I do I would make sure that it has a filter so it will lessen a bit my ugliness. Before, I hate wearing masks as I am struggling in breathing but now, as possible as I can I won't take off my mask. My confidence are still in me when I am wearing a mask but once I remove it, I will just look at the ground most of the time because I am shy with my face. Also, I can't wear nice clothes as I feel like they don't fit me.
My Current Situation
Undergraduate, broke and unemployed. Until now, everytime I see my ex-classmate's posts on social media about their classes or projects, I felt a bit envy and sad. Knowing that I am no longer be able to graduate college is what really hurts me plus the thought that I envy them because they are still in their ways in achieving their goals and one of it is to have a degree which I really wanted to have even before. Broke in both financial and emotional. Lastly, unemployed, this is what I am currently struggling. It is so hard to find a job in my field that still accepts undergraduate students. Most of them rejected me and some are too far from where I live. I feel shy when someone asks me about my degree and work because I don't have both as of now.
Sometimes, I wonder where and when did these qualities started and be known all over the world. Each countries has their own race and faces that's why meeting these qualities just to be called **'beautiful'** is what I can't really stand on. I hate these standards. I know there are billions of people who are going through the same as what I am experiencing now. But before I end this article, even though I have these insecurities, I still love myself. Now, I've accepted my height, I've already loved my looks and body and I've already convinced myself that my path in life is different from the others, it may seem impossible for me right now but I **trust time** and my own process.
*Do not depend our life to what we see from the others or to what other people would say to us. If we want to be accepted by other people, we should first accept ourselves too.*
Oh, you made this far!

I'm At The Point In My Life Where...
As they say, experiences is the best teacher, it makes every individual become better, stronger and smarter. Through our experiences we were able to learn the things that no one has ever taught us. Experiences that made us realize and learn different things in life and through these realizations, we were also able to be at the point where we understand ourselves so much. In this article, I will share my life, realizations and lessons I got from my past. Let's start with this words, "I'm at the point in my life where...", let's begin.
I'm at the point in my life where I don't have expectations anymore
Having zero expectation is what I've learned this pandemic. I had so much expectations before that also caused me to be in pain at the end when they all didn't happen. My zero expectation are in general like as in almost in everything, people, things or even situations. I just keep in my mind that most of the things won't happen the way how we think and planned it. **Too much expectation will just hurt us** so bad so better limit it or just think balanced, expect the best and expect the worse at the same time so we are prepared for the possible outcomes.
I'm at the point in my life where I am more focused on myself and goals
From what I've experienced recently, I think love won't be part of my priorities as of now. However, love could be my inspiration in achieving these things but on the other side, love could also ruin me, my mental, emotional and even my physical health. I was at my lowest during that time but I am now slowly recovering from that experiences. I am just trusting time as of now, because time is one of the best healers. Back to the main topic, as of now focusing on my goals and in myself are really my priorities. I am more concerned to my future than to my lovelife LOL.
I'm at the point in my life where goodbyes are very common to me
Adulting will make us realize that **most of the things in life are not meant to last**. Since I'm currently at the early stage of adulthood, I've already noticed that most of the people I met are like buses and I'm the waiting shed, they come, they stop for a while and they go. Some still remembers me but most became a strangers again. But I can't do anything about that as everyone are also experiencing or have experienced that. They may leave us but the memories and lessons we learned from them will forever stays on us.
I'm at the point in my life where I find it's no longer necessary to impress anyone
I remember during my teen age years, I was so concious about the number of likes that my photo would get from my IG posts. Now, I can't find it to be necessary anymore like how it was for me back then. I don't care anymore if people will like me, adore me or hate me. I was not born to be perfect in everyone's eyes. **I was not born to impress anyone** other than myself. If they don't like me or they do like me, it's still the same for me, I don't care.
I'm at the point in my life where I am at the midst of transformation
I can say now that I'm in the middle of my transformation, I was able to get here because of the experiences, struggles, pains and realizations that I've been through from the past years. I called it transformation as I am slowly letting go of my old self, my old weak self. I'm in the process of being a better, smarter and stronger version of my self. As I enter the new chapter of my life, I gradually learned to let go of the unnecessary bags that I keep on holding on for too long which also caused me to struggle. You know when we have big and heavy bags, we can't enjoy our adventure as we have something heavy on our shoulders and hands. Much better to release them. Let our empty bags be filled with new things we got from that adventure. Because **letting go could be the first step for our transformation in becoming the better version of us.**

Live Selling For The First Time
When the corona virus began to spread all over the world, each countries started to have its lockdowns. Especially on the year 2020 where most of us were just inside our homes, afraid to go outside because of the fear that we might catch some viruses outside. During these months, the world seemed to stop for a while. Businesses, schools, companies, airports and more were stopped operating. Malls and streets suddenly became a ghost town. Groceries and alcohols were often be out of stock due to panic buying of people. Hospitals were full of infected people, some of them recovered from it but others died.
Can you remember these days? Good thing, the world now seems to be returning to normal days again. The cases in each countries are continously decreasing. Some businesses, airports and school are operating again, it's indeed a good news. But despite of the bad effects of pandemic, there are some doors that was opened to some of us. Everything worked in digital such as meetings, works, interviews and even businesses. One thing that became indemand during the pandemic period was **Live Selling**, and that's what we've tried just 2 days ago.
Personally, I have no clue about how online selling works as I don't usually watch live sellings on fb. Only my sister taught me that there should be 2 phones needed when doing a live. The one who will use for the live selling, and the other one will use for monitoring the comment section. My sister and I have an opposite personality, I'm the introvert and she's the extrovert one, so ofcourse she will be the one who will pursuade the viewers and I will just stay behind the camera, helping her with the clothes.
The clothes we chose to sell were from my sister's bale. She bought 50 pieces of random blouses, tops for 1,799. These are preloved clothes, aside from this we also added some preloved clothes of us for another income. The first thing we did was to wash the clothes and soak them in downy so they will have a nice smell. The next day, we ironed them and hang them so they won't b folded. After that, we took some photos of our chosen blouses that we will include in our teaser. This is one of the blouses we got from the bale.
My ate arranged the set up and I'm the photographer. I remember, I am so sweaty while taking these images because I was standing in a monoblock chair so I could have a nice view but the problem was I was too close from our ceiling especially we did this in the middle of the afternoon so imagine how hot my spot that time LOL.
Also, we bought plastics with printed 'Thank You' for the packaging. Exactly 9 pm last February 25, we started our live here in our sala where we held our first live selling session on my sister's fb account. Even though she's used to being talkative and not a shy type person, she was a bit nervous that time because she might get embarrased when no one is viewing or buying her clothes. But all we said to her is a support, we told her that it's impossible to have zero viewers, she has a lot of friends who can watch her or buy her clothes and we also told her that we will help her in sharing her live to different groups as many as we can.
Those were the clothes we sell last last night, we borrowed a mannequin too from a friend of my sister's boyfriend for free only.
While doing our live, I realized how hard it is to become a online seller. I can't imagine myself talking non-stop for straight 3 hours in front of my phone while others are watching me. What I just do behind the camera is to fold and separate the clothes that was mined and not mined and guess what, I'm already tired with that.
But after all, it's all worth it. We started our live at 9 pm and finished at 12:10 am. We were all tired and sleepy but to make things more convenient, right after the live we decided to pack the mined clothes already so we won't do it anymore the next day.
Lastly, I was overwhelmed throughout out our live with my sister's customers who keep on mining different clothes for several times. You know when someone buys your product you really thanked them because you feel like they're supporting your business by just buying atleast one. To all the kumakayod everyday out there just to support their family's needs, to all the online sellers and owns a small business, we will all be successful one day ✨.
Oh you made this far, thank you for reading!

Old Keys Don't Unlock New Doors
There are some points in our life where we feel unmotivated, discouraged, hopeless or even useless. These factors may be caused by problems, heartbreak, rejections, regrets, loneliness, depression and many more. These situations are inevitable for us, no matter how happy and contented we are in our current life, there will be days where we will feel like we are saddest person in the whole world. On the other hand, life will not only stay on that spot, as life is a continuous adventure where defeats and victory are really part of our journey.
In life, there are times where we feel like we are not enough even though we've already gave our best. When we feel like it's no longer working even though we're giving our very best. That feeling when you did your best but seems like your best wasn't still good enough for others and you end up feeling so drained and unmotivated already. That's the time that we need to change our path and make our new way in achieving whatever goals we want in life.
If we will keep using our **old** same **keys** in **opening** new **doors** that we may encounter along our way is really **impossible** to open atleast one. We can't move on in life if we are still dependent to our past. I will share here my best example of discovering more of my self after I tried to be different for the first time.
Ever since when I was a kid, I was really into arts. The back of my notebook was full drawings of mine. My favorite time in school is during our art subject. I even bought different sketchpads before so I won't be using my school notebooks anymore. You know when you're known as an artist in your classroom, most of your classmates would please you to draw them too and you have no choice but to do so because it's hard to say no. During these years, I can't visualize myself working in different field once I become adult except for being an artist or fashion designer. But my choices in life changed when I moved up to college. It was a sudden decision of mine, and that is deciding which course will I take in college. Since I'm into arts, I want to take a course as well that is related to arts or where I can showcase my skills but my situations that time are not in favor with me due to the locations of universities who are offering the courses I want. So I have no choices left but to take a course where I can still find interesting, so I took BSIT.
From **Fine Arts** to **BSIT**, quiet far right? At first, I thought my college would be one of the biggest mistake in my life but I'm wrong. As the days passed by, I started to love studying computer languages, coding and editing. Because I took the risk of entering a different field, I was able to discover something new in me, and that is filming and photography. From then, it already became my dream job up until now. But I am not saying that I already forgot my first ever dream job, it's still in me. I still love sketching but for now, it would be my second choice following my current dream job.
Another example would be when we want to try something new that we haven't tried before like these;
***You want to improve your social life?*** *Then leave your comfort zone where you used to stay for a very long time and start being friendly outside.*
***You want to have a successful business?*** *Then take a risk and set aside your what if's for a while.*
***You are afraid to love someone again because of your past experiences?*** *Then start letting go of these memories, open your heart again and start to love someone who trully loves you too.*
***You want to try something new?*** *Then start changing your ways too.*
________________________
If you see yourself not having a progress or not enjoying it anymore and want to experience something new, change your ways. This time, do your things differently. Explore everything that is new to you with confidence and determination. Never let yourself commit the same mistakes again from your experiences from the old doors you've been to. Instead, don't follow the same patterns like what you did before but you must create a new one. Use your past experiences as a lesson to you whether if they have good or bad effects on you. Lastly, never forget to enjoy your life.
Oh, you made this far!

Strangers Are The Best
These past days, I've been into one of my most dramatic part in my life. But I can't say that I'm fully healed now as healing really takes us time and can't be done in just 1 week or a month. Family problems, financial problem, being broken hearted, loneliness and pressures attacked me so hard at a single time that became one of the hardest silent battles I've experienced just a week ago. Those days when I am at my lowest and I don't know what to do with my life anymore but praying became my only weapon and as always it never failed to help me get out of that miserable situation. When I pray, I feel like that someone just gave me hope. A hope to remind me to not give up and gives me a vision of a better days that will be coming. That problems are just temporary and our life will not only stay on the bad side.
Because of the loneliness I felt from the past days, I decided to use the internet to seek for some advice or to someone whom I can talk with because I feel like I can't survive this situation alone. I have no friends beside me, nor family whom I can talk to. My heart and mind seems so heavy that I can't smile anymore as I feel so frustrated and drained. Actually even before, I never share my problems to anyone, I always keep it within me only as I feel like I can survive and solve all the problems I may encounter/encountering, but this time, I became desperate at looking for someone who can listen to me as this is the last way I only see to lessen the heaviness I feel.
I visited my Chrome and typed *"Advice Free Online"*. I'm poor so I always look for the word *"Free"* for most of the time hehe. Then **Omegle** and **7cups** showed from the results. At first I was hesitant at using them as I'm not used to share my problems to other people, plus the factor that most of the people who are using these websites are just looking for their right ones of to just flirt online especially the website called Omegle. But despite of these, I still used it cause I badly need a someone whom I can talk to without flirting, just a normal conversation.
The first website I visited was the 7cups. It's a website where you can share your worries and problems to a voluteered listeners for free. After waiting for 5 minutes, a listener with a username of Nathan popped in my screen. I shared him my problems and he answered them and gave his advices too. He's straightforward to what he's saying which really helped me. He even shared me his contact outside the website as he's not always online on that website so he can still check on me and help me if I still have worries in life. He is so approachable and kind. I feel comfortable while sharing my problems to him.
**Nathan**, I should be the one who is saying that... I'm so glad we met, you really helped me.
The next day, I visited the website called Omegle, I already used this before but that was already 5 years ago. After 5 years, I'm using this again hoping for someone who will listen to me. I don't know but I'm so thankful because the first ever stranger that omegle gave me is Abhi. Don't know if it is his real name but this is what he gave me to call him in our convo. He's not filipino again so at first I was a bit nervous as this is my first time sharing my problems to a stranger who isn't even a filipino like me and can't understand my native language.
**Abhi** is so nice, the moment I told him that I need some advice, he's so open to it and is really patient while hearing my story. I can see that he's a very humble man, he shared me his thoughts and possible reasons and outcomes to my problems. Honestly, the moment I read all his words to me, I felt lighter. Besides that I finally shared my problems to him which made me feel a little bit lighter, his advices made feel even more lighter. They're senseful to the point that I keep on thanking him as he really helped me.
He even requested me to smile but he didn't know that I'm already smiling because he really lessened the heaviness I felt in both of my heart and mind through his advices.
As before we end our convo, he said this to me after thanking him for multiple times 😅.
He's so nice, I don't know him but the one thing I wished for that moment is may he receive some good news as he helped someone who's really in need.
And so, our conversation ended...
________________________
Sometimes, our smile and happiness can't only be caused by someone we've already know such as family, friends or partners, they could be from a stranger.
Our simple advices or words could mean a lot to someone. Like what the saying said, no man is an island. We human needs each other in order to survive so always choose to help when we still can even to strangers.
Oh, you made this far!

Broken Hearted? Read This
These past few days became tough for me as someone broke my heart again and guess who did it, the one whom I really love.
Have you ever experienced being broken hearted? No doubt why *"Broken Hearted"* is the term used when a person is in pain. Because the word itself is what we literally feel when we are going through this kind of suffering. In my case, whenever someone hurt me, my heart feels so heavy that causing me to breath heavily for the whole time. I can't barely stand straight on my own as my heart weighs so much inside my chest. Aside from being heavy, I feel like it seems to have a wound inside that's why I feel like there is a part in my heart that is really hurting me, feels like someone sliced it. It beats so fast too caused by our emotions from what we have knew.
Being broken hearted cannot only happen on a romantic relationship. It could be when we lose the one whom we love the most like our love ones, friends or pets. We could feel this too when we lose a opportunity that we really really want to grab. As a result, we tend to forget ourselves when we are broken hearted. We lose our will and interest in everything we used to do before. We feel like everything we see seems so plain. It's hard for us to smile or laugh. We feel unmotivated in life. We can't focus ourselves from what we are doing and it is really hard for us to think of new ideas.
Thanks to these amazing writters/sponsors ☝
From being unmotivated and extremely sad these days, browsing on the internet became my escape from this silent battle. But from that supposed escape only, browsing and watching videos became the reason as well why I am here now, writing this blog of mine. A couple of days ago, I don't know what to do in my life again, I don't know where to start and I don't know anymore how will I overcome this until I watched a certain video on the internet. A video about why we need to get hurt. As I watch that video, it made me cry and realized a lot of things.
What are my realizations?
***Things don't grow because of sun, we gotta have some rain***
This line hit me so much at that time. I was focused on my emotions to the point that I no longer look for a solution that would help me lessen the pain I feel. All I just want to do is to lay on my bed and cry. But after I heard this, it served as an eye opener to me. This is really true, just like a plant, we will not be able to grow and bloom from being under the sun only, we need to be exposed in the rain too. Every heart breaks should not be considered as a difficult moment only but also a lesson one that would help us grow in the form of being stronger and wiser.
***"If you don't laugh again on the same joke, don't cry again on the same thing"***
-Charlie Chaplin
Don't let ourselves stay trapped in the situation where we feel like we are not we are. It's okay to feel sad. It's okay to cry because sometimes it's okay not to be okay as they're really part of our life. From the word itself, it is only a part not our whole life. If we ever find ourselves that we no longer laugh at the things we used to laugh before, so why would we stay on being sad from the same things for too long too? That's what we called "move on". So don't make being stressed a hobby. We need to make progress even if it is really hard to make one at the beginning but it's a must. We, humans were made to grow and learn because life is an adventure. Life is a constant learning.
________________________
Being heart broken can be one of the most painful part in our life. But we can't all deny it that from our past relationships, we learned something from it. Not just in relationships but we could also learn from our loss from love ones or anything that caused us to feel hurt. They may not ended happily that one everyone wish for, but there are things we should be still thankful for, and that's are the lessons they left us.

Things I Want To Do Before I Die
In life, people have the needs and wants. When we say needs, it is the things we need in life in order to survive such as food, shelter, water etcetera. When it comes to wants, it refers to our desires in life. However, we can still survive even without our wants unlike to our needs which is a necessary one.
As what they say, Life is short, Life is precious so we should make the best out of it. As we start to have our wants in life, it means we want to have or achieve that goal for now or in the future. But some wants are difficult to achieve, they might cost a lot of money or will take a very long time before we can able to attain them. Probably, a lot of us are still not in the state where we already have the things we want and can't wish for more. Whether we are poor or not, we still have our wants. The wants that would make us feel satisfied in our life once we achieved.
Here, I will going to share the things I want to do while I'm still alive. The things that are part of my ultimate goals.
Have A Europe Trip With My Future Husband
Ever since, Europe is really one of my target places to visit once I have a enough money for travelling. I find Europe as a romantic place, that's why I want to have a short vacation here one day with my future husband. The top countries I want to visit from this continent are Italy, France and Switzerland. To my future husband, you will be my instant photographer once we started travelling, don't dissapoint me. Char!
Experience Scuba Diving
I'm the type of person who's afraid of deep water or ocean yet still want to be a mermaid. Yes, I want to become a mermaid atleast once, not a permanent mermaid LOL, but I want to become a mermaid with the help of mermaid tail fin and do my mermaid swim style under water so I can feel how to be Dyesebel even for a short period of time. Before I die, I want to experience scuba diving and see with my own eyes how the world under us looks like. Also, I guess once I achieved this, I will be no longer afraid of oceans.
Arrange A Celebration As A Reunion For My Whole Family In Province
I am today's years old yet I still haven't been to our province. I still haven't seen my lola named Mama Nani (Mother side) who's living in my mother's home town, Roxas, Capiz. Among all my siblings, I am the only one who haven't been there that's why once I have an enough money, I will surely arrange a celebration there so I can meet my counsins and aunties too that I've never seen in person. Especially now with the condition of my lola, she really needs that kind of celebration.
Take A Hot Air Balloon Ride
Even though I have a fear of heights, I would still like to ride on this one day. For the sake of experience and the sceneries up there, I will face my fear cuz I'm strong independent woman LOL.
Produce A Movie Or Music Video
I was 15 years old when I started to get interested in this field of career. All I want before is to have a job regardless of the position or work, as long as I'm still part of the team who have created the movie, I'm okay with it. I love taking photos or videos. I also love editing too, I like to design a studio, I like to become a even organizer or photographer. Everything, as long as it envolves camera and creativity, I love to do it. Hopefully before I die, I can have a chance to experience working in this field.
Celebrate My Birthday With My Favorite Street Foods As Menu
I like to be different, as always. Everytime there's a celebration here, I always say in my mind that it would be much more enjoyable if the foods are kikiam, isaw, dos-tres, tokneneng, calamares, grilled hotdogs, fried siomai and more with gulaman and buko juice as drinks. If I have enough money for my birthday this year, I would do this plan. I really love street foods. For me, they're more delicious than those pricey menus on restaurants because I have this mindset that the goal is to fill my empty stomach, not to spend a lot of money with just a small piece of beef. I will always go with street foods even if I will become the richest woman in my country or even in the whole world, I will still buy and eat street foods.
________________________
As what the saying said ***"We only die once, we live everyday"***. This saying means that humans can't die twice or thrice. Once we died we can't go back from being alive again. That's why we must enjoy the life that was given to us, plan and achieve everything we want as long as we're living because no one knows our fate. So always choose the things that will make us happy for at the end of the day, we don't have regrets.

My Cursed February
While doing my very best to entertain myself just to forget what I am going through now, there is one thing I suddenly realized and that is why does my February seemed cursed. I mean, it's not only this year but it was also happened to me from the previous Februaries last years. Seems like the only thing February brings me is pain, heartbreak and stress.
*Thank you amazing authors/sponsors ⤴*
Let's start from the year where my cursed February started;
It was on the month of February year **2018**, this is the time where I was a graduating senior high school student. Basically since it was on January, me and my classmates only have 3 months left of being together in one section before we separated our ways for college. I have a classmate this year who has a crush on me but he didn't know that I have a crush on him too but because I was known for being shy in our classroom, no one knew about my feelings to him even my circle of friends. Let's call him CJ, CJ has an ambivert personality, his friends always teases us whenever he makes a move to me just to notice him. What I liked about him is his skills, he's also into art which is one of the reasons why I liked him. Until we started talking to each other through chat for months. This time, I fell inlove with him even more until the month of February came. He suddenly stopped talking to me. When we are at classroom, he will just smile at me when we see each other until I knew that he is already courting someone na pala through his IG post. This is the start of my heartbreak in this month, specifically on that year.
One year later, in the same month of **2019**. The one of my most unforgettable heartbreak happened. I've already shared my story of us here, its title was "How did I overcome my first heartbreak". To be exact, my first time I cried over a man was on February 16, 2019, at night. That is when he just suddenly ghosted me and found out that he and his ex had their comeback. As usual, I was left again. So all I did the next days from this month was to cry.
One year later (**2020**) in the same month again. This is before the pandemic happened. Our cat named Nana lost. He didn't die but he just suddenly didn't go home from our canteen which he lives. Again, my february became painful to me for the 3rd time as I've been crying for Nana to comeback.
February **2021**, me and my ex had a numerous fight during this time. Our fight caused me so much stress to the point that he no longer talk to me to fix the problems. Fortunately, this is also the month where I started my journey on noise.cash, so I spent most of my time on noise just to divert my attention from the cause of my stress. But still, my whole February this year is full of stress.
One year later again, February **2022**. Me and my ex (same person from last year) had no proper conversation from the previous months, I noticed that he also changed from how he talks to me. Our relationship also had no formal breakup, he just didn't talk to me for 3 months, so I'm the one who did the first move to approach him since we don't see each other in person. He answers naman but most of the time, he's seems not interested with my stories. Currently, he's studying while me, I had to stop because of financial problem. Until just this 3rd of February, I saw his friend's post, his friend seemed teasing him to another girl (maybe one of his classmate now) and he answered it too with heart emojis. He no longer talks to me for months so for sure I'm not that girl.
Again, my heart was broken again for the 5th time, in the same months but different years. As of now, I'm in the process of moving on. It's so hard to be broken hearted during this time where I usually spend my whole day just in our house. But I know I can do it, even if it really hurts me now, I can still overcome it.
This is my reason why I don't post and interact that much here because of the heaviness in my heart these days. I wonder what would be the cause of my heartbreak naman next year's February. I hope that this curse will finally end this year hehe. I want to have a joyful February naman.
Thanks for your time!
Have a great night wonderful people ♡.
Historical Space Missions
This afternoon, I've already explored the outer space through my phone's screen while lying down in my bed. Because I've been battling with my problems and heartaches these past few days which affects my will to write. Seems like it is so hard to think of a new idea or topic when your mind is already full of thoughts. Now, I'm tired of crying and being unproductive, I should not be like this so I decided just this morning to not let my feelings affect me, I should be the one who's controlling it. So I spent my today's afternoon watching so I could forget them.
*Thanks to these amazing authors/sponsors ⤵*
Since I'm really into outer space, my youtube recommendations has sometimes offers me outer space videos. Until I came acrossed to the video which tells the journey of **Spirit** and its twin **Opportunity**. A robots who was brought to planet **Mars** to explore, study and give references to our scientists of how Mars exactly look like. The historic mission of Spirit rover lasts for 6 years while Opportunity is 15 years.
Spirit and Opportunity rover stayed and explored the planet Mars for 6 and 15 years in the separate directions after they landed on the ***Red Planet***. After seeing the photos took by Spirit and Opportunity when they're exploring Mars, Mars is somehow similar to our wide desserts here on earth. All you can see everywhere is sand and rocks. While watching these robots do their missions there, I realized how intelligent human beings are. Sending a spacecraft rovers to other planets which is literally outside the world, yet humans can still control and connect to it? I wish I could have that kind of signal in our house too so I won't be struggling anymore in finding a perfect spot in our room just to connect to our wifi. Just kidding.
Unfortunately in 2010, Spirit had stopped its communications with Earth after it went silent. Spirit died on Mars while it's doing its mission that was meant for only 90 days. On the other side of Mars, Opportunity still continue its mission until 2018. Opportunity died due to lack of energy caused by the dust storm in Mars. Opportunity's last word was *"My battery is low and it's getting dark"*. Much respect for these historical robots.
Another spacecraft mission I've watched is NASA's **Juno**, Juno is a spacecraft that was sent to outer space to visit the planet **Jupiter** on the year 2011. Juno is a spinning spacecraft, its mission is to observe the Jupiter's gravity and magnetic field, evolution and atmospheric dynamics and composition. I also learned that Juno took 5 years before he get to Jupiter, and the kilometers he travelled was about 2.8 billion. Until now, Juno is still exploring Jupiter.
Lastly, the most epic mission of a spacecraft, the **Cassini**. Cassini is sent to the planet **Saturn** on October 15, 1997. Just like what other spacecraft's missions, Cassini has a mission on Saturn and that is to send informations and photos to humans on earth which will help humans to study the Saturn's system. However, on September 15, 2017, Cassini plunged into Saturn while fighting to keep its antenna pointed on our planet Earth as it transmits its final goodbye. Cassini's mission ended after 20 years of giving us humans the informations and closer shots of the planet Saturn, its mission was beautiful yet sad.
☆☆☆☆
There are a lot more historic spacecrafts aside from what I've only mentioned above. Those successful ones who served us humans for so many years until they died have made us proud. Felt sad to those that crashed too. However, those non-living AI's helped us humans to understand more of the creations outside the world. Universe' wideness can't be measure, which means the informations that humans will learn from the universe is unending too.
Let's appreciate all the people such as scientists and engineers who are part of the creation of these amazing spacecrafts and to those who are dedicated in studying the universe. My afternoon today was full of learnings, I felt a bit sad to those spacecrafts who died yet proud because of what they have done to us, they gave us the informations or data that would not only help us in the present but for our future as well.

Closing your Door on Someone Could Lead to Peace
Just like in our homes, we close our doors to protect ourself and our family from possible harm outside. Doors are built to make a block from the two sides of the wall where the door are placed, it is also built to protect our privacy. However, doors are made to close and to open. Just like in our homes, it's up to us whether if we will let the person/people outside to enter our home through opening our doors to them.
*Thanks to this amazing authors/sponsors ⤵*
We could apply this thought to our life. Each and everyone of us has our own life that no one can control except for us. That means, we are the one who'll decide which person we will bring into our live. We let those people be with us because of some reasons, it could be because we care for them, we love them or we have gratitude to them. On the other side, there is always an opposite. If you ever opened your door for them, there are times as well that we prefer to close it and not let other people to enter our life because of some reasons.
Hatred, betrayal, revenge, trust issue or lesson learned could be the reasons of a person to close a door on someone. In this article, I will share here my reasons why I closed my door on a someone from my past.
This person became one of my source of happiness and inspiration before, this person always makes me smile and makes me feel special everyday until I fell into him and let him enter my life. I became too inlove with him to the point that I'm no longer aware of what the possible things he might do to me. Until suddenly, everything changed in just a snap. He changed the way he treat and approach me, the aura in his face changed too until he left me without leaving a single word. Until I knew that he only fooled me. Not only me but other girls too. For the second time he tried to knock on my door again but I never let him in anymore.
**I closed my door because I don't have trust on that person anymore.**
Second chances is only for those who are really willing to change. In his case, he is really good at speaking and saying wisdom words but never live with it.
**I closed my door because I've already learned from the pain he brought to me.**
I realized that pain could be a teacher too. It made me realize and feel the things that I should not let my self feel again in the future.
**I closed my door because I've already learned how to close it.**
No matter how painful or how hard we've went through before, there is always a lesson on it. This time, I finally learned to close my door to a someone and not become my old self again who is not aware of the possible harm and keeping my door open to everyone.
Until now, I still have no regrets from closing that door of mine. I am now in peace epecially in my mind, it even brought me to the braver and smarter version of myself now. I do not say that it's okay to shut or close a door on someone (not literally) but if you think it would be better on that, then do so just.
☆☆☆
From that experience, I realized that closing a door could lead us to a peace of mind. Closing a door on someone is not bad epecially if we think that this is the only way we could do in order to move forward and continue living the life we desire. If we think it could harm or affect us in a bad way, then leaving our doors closed needs no explanations to others anymore. It's always on us, it's our life, it's our decision for what we believe is good for us.
Thank you for Reading!
Have a great day wonderful people ♡.
A Not So Good Start For Me
I come up to an idea of summarizing my 2022 through rating each month of the year by giving my rate and sharing it here how my month went in a scale of 1-10, 10 would be the highest.
**Today is the 31st of January, for this first month of 2022, I would rate it 4.**
Thanks to these amazing authors/sponsors. Check them out too 👌
I think, January 2022 is not for me as it didn't went well from the way how I planned it last december. First, the price of Bitcoin Cash have decreased even more up until now. However, I didn't mean that if the market is down, we all should feel down as well. The current dip has its advantages too especially to those who have a reserved money for investing, and on the other side, it's a bad time for those people like me who don't have money for taking advantage of the dip prices. As of the moment, BCH' price is $280.38 and I hope it won't decrease anymore as I badly need to withdraw some, I'm just waiting for it to atleast increase to $400 again. Basically, this is the first reason why my January is not that good. There are times where I want to withdraw due to my needs and as well as my family's needs but I can't since it is so down and I will lose a lot of coins if I do so. Also, I'm still aiming for my 1 BCH goal.
Speaking of 1 BCH, I'm still accumulating more coins until now. I've been aiming this since last year but still thankful that I still have progress even just a little. There are times as well where I am looking down at myself as why it seems like everything is so hard for me? Everytime I get motivated and have planned already my steps in achieving my goals, life won't let me... Why life? Why you seems so unfair to me?
All I did was to give my best but seems like it is still not good enough. Maybe, I'm not really good like others, maybe sometimes I am being a trying hard person just to fit myself with other people who are really good. I sometimes feel like no one is really impressed with me and my works, cause I could really feel it.
But what I only remind myself is ***"Progress is still a progress"***. No matter how slow it takes, atleast I'm still having an improvement even though I'm not like others who can achieve the goal I want in just a short period of time. Even though life always wants me to struggle, I will still fight, as long as I can.
January is not that good for me especially when it comes to my financials. All my source of income are slowly leaving me, my mental health is not that good until now, problems are also bothering me every single day. That's why I lock my self most of the time in our bathroom, thinking and looking for a solution from these problems of mine. Sometimes, if I can't hold them anymore inside me, I'll just cry but just in silent mode cause I don't want anyone else see me being dramatic. Considering that this is the first month of the year means this is where we all started too. I will give my best just to make a changes even just a little for the month of February, January may not that good for being my starting point but it doesn't mean it will not be good for the rest of the year too.
♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪☆♪ ♬ ♪
I'm wishing for that day, the day that I will just woke up with a light heart and with a mind that is free from problems and struggles. May all my plans come to reality one day.
*Lastly, before I end this article* ***I want to greet my self a*** ***Happy Anniversary*** *🎊, coz today is my one year on* ***noise.cash*** *wohoo! I will be active there again from now on. Time flies so fast and I'm already a year user, sooner I will be celebrating my anniversary here on read.cash naman.*

My Weird Habits
First, what is habit? A habit is the human behavior or routine that is usually do in a repeated way, it sometimes occur by human's subconcious mind. In humans, habits can be bad or good, but regardless of that, both still have an effects on person who has that certain habit.
Habits could be the reflections of us. But aside from the bad habits and good habits, there is also the weird habits that each of individuals may possessed. In this article, I will share here my weird habits that I've been doing for so many years. You could relate to some of them so let's start.
Chewing My Tongue
I remember my classmates before often ask me what am I chewing inside my mouth cause they usually see me doing that. When I said that it is just my tounge, they can't even believe in me. Everytime I say that, they will try to chew their tongues too but always ending up not liking it.
Smelling Dried Fish
This is my favorite thing to do when we have tuyo, daing or tinapa in our house. Whenever I'm incharge of cooking, I will never miss smelling them first before frying haha.
Talking to my Self
We all do this right? But for me, I do this most of the time especially when I'm at the bathroom. It could be when I am taking my bath, sitting at the throne or just standing in front of the mirror.
Cracking Joints In My Hands
Even when I'm not commanding myself to do this, my hands are automatically doing it for me for most of the time. But y'all, hearing those cracks are so satisfying.
I Always Smiles Like This For No Reason

Even without wearing a mask, I'm still doing this. But it doesn't mean that I'm happy or felt awkward. It is just because of nothing.
I don't like holding or keeping my wallet in my pocket when I go outside
I feel so uncomfortable when I let myself to hold my wallet or just keep them inside my pocket. It feels like I have a big responsibility because one of the reasons why I lost some of my things is because they're in my hands. I always prefer to just get an enough money and will crumpled them in my pocket.
I don't use fork
My left hand plays the role of the fork while my right hand is holding the spoon. Though I know how to use it but I prefer using my fingers to grab my ulam than using a fork.
I can't walk inside our house without wearing a slippers
This is my habit for so many years. I just feel like it is so uncomfortable for me to feel the coldness of the floor or ground from the soul of my feet. I think one of the reasons why it became my habit already is because my mother hates seeing our floor dirty or has a lot of footprints.
I can't sleep without folding my arms
The moment I lay down on my bed, I will automatically grab my small pillows and hugs it, and once we hug something small, our arms will fold too right? That's exactly what I'm comfortable with when I'm about to sleep or even while sleeping. I can't take myself to not fold my arms again after extending them for just a seconds just to relief from the numbness I felt on my arms.
I need to hold something when speaking in front of a lot of people
When reporting in class, I always bring a pen, a piece of card board or just my ID while speaking in front. It helps me to explain well what's in my mind cause without it, I don't know where to place my hands and that's bothering me, I feel awkward when my hand isn't holding something.
.............................................................................
There you have it, those are my weird habits. I hope I explained well each of them hehe. I'm not denying it, I'm weird in most of the things I do and speak, my friends knows me well in that matter LOL.

What If...
`Hello people! I was not able to publish anything the past 2 days because I became busy finding a job. But I'm back now with the prompt I made an hour ago.`
After watching the interview of a presidential candidate online, I come up to an idea of answering a given scenario since it was part of the interview on the other day about giving the "What if" and then they need to answer it and provide their strategies on how they will going to respond on the said situation. Another factor that helped me is through ate Jane's article few days ago, where she shared the random word generator that could help writers when they're experiencing the so-called 'writer's block'.
In this prompt, all you need to do is visit this link first, this is the Random Scenario Generator where it will give you "What If?" scenarios, then it's your turn naman to answer it or provide your solutions. https://writingexercises.co.uk/scenario-generator.php
I just don't know if this prompt has already been used by other writers here. But just like what I said, this is just to give other writers an idea, especially to those who publish everyday.
This is what the generator gave me:
***Your friend is flirting with your new boy/girlfriend. What could you do about it? Come up with three alternatives.***
The things I would do is;
I will ask her directly if she really likes my boyfriend, if she said yes then I will tell her that it's not a good thing to do since we're already together.
If my boyfriend is just ignoring her, then I'll do the same.
Same again to the first one. I will never embarass her to public since I'm not that type of person and she's still my friend.
Second Scenario
***A close member of your family has committed murder. Would you keep quiet about it? What might your silence depend upon?***
Crime is a crime, no matter how close I am to that person who has commited murder, I will never tolerate it. I will speak up and tell the truth to the authorities. Even if I am the one who did such crime, I will surrender myself and accept the consequences of my action. It would be better to live with a full heart and mind that you've accepted your mistake than to hide and live with your conscience that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Third Scenario
***Your spouse has left you but forgotten to take his/her credit card. You're not poor so how would you use the card in ways that would really upset your ex?***
I will spend it to the things I love to do. Even though I have my own money, I will just keep it so that my childrens or future childrens will still inherit them from me Lol. I will use it for traveling, pampering myself, donating to any charities, treating myself with all the foods I want as well as my friends until I move on from him. Because that's the best revenge for me that would surely make him upset, to see me smiling and happy again even without him.
♡♡♡
However, in real situation since I only depend my answer from the scenario, I will surrender his credit card to him since I have no hardworks from that money naman. But still, I will do the things I love until I become happy again. I don't do revenge, I will just mind my own business and move on. Because I always believe that for every action, there is always a consequence of it.
How about you, have you tried that too? And at the end, you realized that you made a good decision. That you totally moved on from your heartbreak with no hatred, no revenge, just a pure love to yourself 💕.
**You can use this prompt too if you are running out of topic to write.**

Miming's Diary
*That was a cold evening and I'm at a vacant lot with tall grasses behind me. I can't remember anymore who brought me here but all I can still remember is I'm with my mom. Now, where is my mom? Where are my siblings? Why there is no one here? I'm so scared that time so all I just did was to cry. I was just a 2 weeks old that time, I miss my mom.*
*There are vehicles passing by in front of me, they're so big and they are just ignoring me. Minutes passed and the rain started to pour, I'm trembling because it was so cold. Until there are 3 people who are approaching, one of them carried me and put me inside her bag.*
*That was the time when I knew I have my new family, she saved me. I'm so glad that they are so good to me until now. The one who's taking care of me is the owner of this account. Every single morning once she woke up, she will start washing her face, while me and my two fur friends named Luna and Mishi are already waiting for her at their garage. Once she come out, she will start to greet us and call us one by one just to hug or pats us on our head.*
*My favorite hobby is sleeping, actually every morning when one of them woke up, I will simply enter their house when they left it open and if no one sees me, I will rush and climbed up to their stairs to see if the room of my hooman is already open. But if not, then I will just lay down in front of their door and wait for them to open it. Once my hooman opened their door, I will greet her with my* *"meow" which means* *"good morning"*. *Then I will climb on to their bed and will start spending half of my day sleeping there cause I really like their bed, it's so comfortable to sleep.*
*Wherever I am, once I hear the noises of their plates, couldron and utensils. I will rush to their garage and will start shouting there. I am the noisiest among all my fur friends when we are waiting for our food. Sometimes, I'm a little bit annoyed to my hooman coz she's so slow when preparing our food. But I still understand her for that since we are three who she needs to feed after they eat. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I will grab her shirt when she's passing by in front of me, which makes her grab my whole face too and start squeezing it.*
*Every afternoon, once I'm done roaming around, I will comeback to my house and I will start playing with my favorite playmate named Mishi, she's my dog friend here. Once she bites my leg, I'll bite her cheeks too to be fair. One day my hooman got mad at me when I didn't come home for the whole night, but she never hurt me physically, she just scold me for doing that. After that, I never did that again as I'm also missing the meals she's always preparing for us. There was a time too that I had a bowel incontinence for weeks, my hooman is so worried for me, so she decided to buy me a yakult. She forced me to drink that using a syringe because I don't want to drink it. After that, I can finally control my bowel and I became normal again. Thanks to yakult and most especially to my hooman who took care of me.*
*Even though I stole some of their foods and did some mistakes, my hooman still loves me and never get tired of taking care of me/us. I'm already 1 year old cat now,* ***I'm so thankful and forever grateful that she's my hooman. I love her.*** *To all the pets out there like me, love your hoomans 😸.*
Thanks for reading humans, I'm already tired after writing this. I'm off to bed, goodbye!

The Fruit Of Internet Interruption
Yesterday was a bit frustrating for me as we don't have internet connection for the whole day so I can't open my account and publish something here. What I've read from the fb page of our ISP, the internet interruption was caused by the construction of another telecommunication company. The interruption lasts for about 16 hours, but I'm not mad at them for I knew naman that they're fixing it as fast as they could and I understand them for that, I just felt frustrated yesterday because I can't open and interact here, I'm scared too that the bot might ignore me forever after being inactive for the whole day 😅.
From morning to noon, I'm thinking of what I can do just to become productive that day because that's one of my goals this year, to be productive every single day. Until I came up with an idea of cleaning our small room. But before doing it, I prepared first the speaker and and my phone. Ofcourse, cleaning would be more enjoyable if we have music.
First thing I did was to remove all my clothes from my drawer because I have a lot of time yesterday, I'm not bothered with the number of clothes I have there just for the purpose to fold it again because like what I've said, I'm bored. I started with my shirts, I separate the *pambahay* and my *pang-alis*, same goes to my bottoms such as pants and shorts.
While I'm folding my clothes, I started to think of an idea of cleaning while decluttering my clothes since some of my clothes there have already been a stock for years. I removed all the clothes I think I won't gonna use again since my mother is planning to give all our unused clothes to our province for our cousins there, and also to free up some space in my drawer. I have two reasons why I decided to give some of my clothes to my cousins, it is not because those clothes are no longer fit me, it's because I just want to free up some space and to lessen my Ignored clothes for years. My shirts from 5 years ago still fits in me, that's a proof that I don't gain that much weight for the past years. Just like my aunties in our province, even though they've already kids they've still maintained their petite body, maybe I got it from them.
This is the result:
This is how I fold and arrange my clothes in my drawer. I find it very easy to choose of what would I'm going to wear next because in this style of foldings, you'll easily find the shirt you're looking for. Plus, it's not that difficult to pull off the clothes without ruining the other folded clothes beside it. Lastly, more clothes will fit in a drawer when it is arranged like this.
Tips for folding your clothes: To save more space or if you want to bring lots of clothes with you but you want to carry a single bag only, the best way to do is to roll them and and then stack them. It really saves space.
After arranging and decluttering my clothes, I started cleaning our room naman.
I cleaned this table too, sorry for the bad angle I can't find a good on because our room is so dark and it makes the photo even more darker because it is against the light. My bad, I forgot to take a picture of the result of my cleaning yesterday as I feel tired already and my phone gets low battery too after using it for hours in playing songs just to give some sparkle and enjoyment to my cleaning session yesterday.

This generation, it's a bit hard to survive a day without internet as a lot of us spend most of our time in our phones and computers. Personally, 16 hours of not being able to use the internet is kinda hard, what more for 24 hours, 1 week or 1 whole month pa kaya. However, this kind of disconnection from the digital world would also let us connect to the things that surrounds us. A disconnection that will make us appreciate the things we used to ignore before, makes us more productive or sometimes it help us to discover something new to ourselves.

Struggles Of Having Cherophobia
Happiness can't never be excluded from everyone's desires in life. Just like sadness, happiness is part of life. But who doesn't want to be happy everyday? To be extremely happy? I think every ones are hoping for this but in my case, I want to be happy differently.
**A very quick break:**
*Flexing my sponsors, check them out too!*
Have you heard or do you know the phobia called Cherophobia?
If not yet, let me give here first the meaning of this phobia. The word "chairo" is a greek word that means "to rejoice". **Cherophobia** is the fear of happiness. People who have this phobia are often afraid to attend in any events or activities that they think that would make them happy.
I have this phobia for many years now. At first, I thought it was just normal to feel worried for most of the time when I'm at a party or celebration, but everytime I see people who are really enjoying the day or night like there's no tomorrow made me think of *"Is it still normal to feel this?"*. Why I can't be happy as much as they do? Why they can be so happy like that without thinking of what might happens after this celebration?
A lot of questions in my mind are keep on bugging me that time not until I saw one of Lloyd Cafe Cadena's meme on facebook. I can't tell here exactly what he said on that meme but what I only remember is, he's pertaining to people who has cherophobia, where they are afraid to be happy or to feel too much happiness for there might something tragic or bad will happen afterwards. That's the time I knew that I have this kind of phobia. By the way, rest in peace Lloyd.
Based on my experiences, I can still attend to any gatherings or events such as birthday parties, new years, vacations etcetera but my happiness are only limited, and that limitations are made by my own self. Because for me, I feel like in every actions I made, there is always a consequences after it, whether if it is a good deed or bad deeds.
Actually, one of the reasons why I hated attending to acquaintance party or prom during my high school years is because of this phobia. Like I'm afraid that I might have a wardrobe malfunctions while being happy with my friends, or I might stumble while walking down the stairs with my partner and many more scenario that would embarass me. That's how I overthink the situations to the point that it is also limiting my self from experiencing those things in my life.
Now, I have a little regrets for all the events I missed during my teenage life, but I can't do anything about it anymore as they're already happened. I just hate it, I feel like I don't deserve to feel that extreme happiness for the rest of my life because I have this phobia. However, I'm practicing my mind now not to overthink everything especially when I'm having fun, it's okay to worry but not to point that it will limit me again to experience those things and activities.

A Look Back At Where I Came From
As what they say, we can't move forward and achieve our goals if we can't even look back at where we came from. Looking back somehow helps us to become better, it helps us to be motivated in life even more. Since I find photographs and stories is literally everywhere here in read.cash these past few days and until now. This helped me again to think of a new topic to share here. In this article, I will share here my life back then, a look back from the good old days of my life in our old house.
***A very quick break:*** *Flexing my sponsors! Check them out too.*
It was on July 2009 when we moved to our new house from our house in Quezon City. After that, I never had a chance to comeback and visit that place again. The place where I grew up and where my childhood life started.
Our old house there is just small, its size is just as small as a single bedroom and it is already enough for us. We are six who lived in there, my parents, one brother and two sisters.
That girl is my auntie, my mother's youngest sister. She lived with us for 2 years to take care of us because both of my parents are working that time. This is our sala, just five steps from our door, you'll already reach our bathroom which is behind that blue curtain. We don't have a door for our bathroom before, we only use plastic or sometimes curtain to cover us when we're using the bathroom.
All the toys you see in this photo are my collections. Those were the toys I've collected from staying at the junk shop near our house. I sneak at the spot beside their shop where they place all the sacks full of plastic stuffs such as bottled water, plastic jars or containers etcetera. Collecting used toys from junk shop is one of my favorite thing to do when I was a kid.
This is just how we simply celebrate a birthday before. They will just place a table outside, under the santol tree which is right in front of our house and they'll do their talkshow there while eating. This photo were taken during my sister's 1st birthday, she's now 16 years old. Therefore, this photo was taken 15 years ago. The girl who's waving at the camera is my older sister, the rest are my uncles and neighbors.
This is my older brother, he's sitting at my father's first ever motorcycle. Probably, one of my family's proudest moments. The background is what our small compound looks like, most of our neighbors there owns a chickens. Again, my older sister who always love to be in the camera photobombed this photo. Also, we only rented the camera we used here because we don't have any to use for capturing moments like this.
And lastly, this is my 8 years old self.
I blurred my face again as I don't want you to see the spaces in my teeth and my ugly short hair Lol.
All the models you know are probably shaking right now cause I've finally released here the photo of myself with my most unique pose. A pose that no one could ever do, except for me.
That is our old house, the white wall with the traditional style of window. Unfortunately, this place where we grew up is already gone. Upon checking it using the google map, there is already a large factory that was built on the same spot as where our house and the whole compound was located. A year ago after we moved, our neighbors started to move too together with my childhood friends. Now, the place that used to be our home and playground, are now totally gone.
But this place will always be part of me, I will always be grateful and I will never get tired of looking back at my life there even though that place are only exists in my mind.

Gallery Raid
This prompt came from @meitanteikudo , thanks man for the idea. I've been staring at the ground for so long now, thinking of what topic to write. So I decided to make a version of mine of this challenge. Actually, I've already made a prompt here that is quiet similar to this before, but unlike here where it is focused on our gallery, the one I did before was a Phone Challenge where you need to show your phone's google search history, youtube search history, gallery's first and last photo and more. But this time, let's focus on my photos, I'll give you a dive into my gallery. Again, thanks meitantei for this idea 😄. https://read.cash/@Tamia/phone-challenge-23f540d0
*One of my motivators here are them, check them out too ⤴*
Since I've already shared here the first and last photo, let's start to the photo which I don't have an idea why it is in my gallery.
No Idea Photo
I think I accidentally clicked this while I was chillin outside our cottage during our vacation in Nasugbu, Batangas. If you look closer to the upper right part of this photo, you'll see a man lying on the sand beside the boat. I don't know if he's drunk or just normally sleeping there Lol, I can't remember it anymore.
Groufie Photo
Yes, I covered my face cause I'm still shy to show my face. Me and my classmates took this photo before shooting our **Mannequin Challenge** that was held inside our classroom. Do you still remember that challenge that became viral all over the world 5 years ago? We were on our 11th grade during this time, February 2017 to be exact. Because we felt cute with our costume for the challenge, we took hundreds of photos before going home hehe.
My section won in this Mannequin Competition in our school.
Funniest Photo
This was happened when these 3 kids (my sister, cousin and my sister's friend who's wearing the yellow shirt) ask me to take a picture of them and pretend that they're in a movie. So since we just finished watching the movie Life Of Pi, I edited their photo and put them on the boat with the title *"Life of Three"*. They said, if the tiger would bite them, they will bite it back too.
Food Photo
Who else here love Mcdonald's chicken fillet too? I was with my friend in this photo after we roamed around the mall. Among all the Mcdonald's menu, chicken fillet is my most favorite one. I remember, after taking our exams this is what I'm always ordering at Mcdo as a reward for myself for finishing the exams for 3 days straight.
Best Place / Beach Photo
The word *Best Place* really described my background here. It was on 2019 when we had a 2 days and 1 night trip in Morong, Bataan. So far, this is the best beach I've ever been to in my whole life. The sand is nearly white and the water is clear too. Aside from the sea, it also have a swimming pool inside which is perfect for those people like me who doesn't like to swim on the salty water. I don't like to swim their as I feel like my skin is burning too fast compared to swimming pools. Also, the salty water is really drying my hair, and it is really hurting my eyes too. However, when it comes to taking photos, beaches are the best.
See my sharp bone in my elbow? This is my payat days, when I only weigh 41 or 42 kilograms. That's the effect of my college life to me. I wonder if pandemic didn't happen, I think I'm thinner now.
This is exactly what I need right now, a beach break. We all deserve a vacation like this after all our grinds and stresses during this pandemic.
*Beach vacation this 2022 cutieee.*
Before I end this article, I want to say thank you to @OfficialGamboaLikeUs and @MizLhaine for the sponsorships! 😁
Have a great day wonderful people ♡.
My EDM Playlist
Music is really powerful, it can change everyone's mood in just a minute or even a second. Song writers expresses their feelings through their songs, while listeners absorbs those feelings from listening to the song.
Music is not just music for me, it is my one call away friend when I am down, happy or just chill in life. There are billions of song already produced since before which we can easily find and browse on the internet nowadays, technology is indeed cool right? When it comes to genre of music, I'm into pop, electronic dance music and alternative, another genre that catches my heart 5 years ago was the genres of **Illenium** which is future bass and trap.
Do you like EDM songs too? If yes, let's cheers to that. Because of my love for this genre, I became choosy at what earphones I'm going to buy. Its quality is a must so I can feel the every beat of my favorite trap songs wherever I am.
Here's the list of my favorite EDM songs 👇*(You can listen to them, use earphones for better experience hehe)*
ILLENIUM - Fractures ft. Nevve
https://youtu.be/ZCu2gwLj9ok
This song already published 4 years ago but until now, it still got my heart.
ILLENIUM - Reverie ft. King Deco
https://youtu.be/tjg3-Wla3PU
When I first heard this, I knew to myself that I want to make a music video for this, but until now I still haven't because I don't have a nice camera Lol.
ILLENIUM - Fortress ft. Joni Fatora
https://youtu.be/7gF-05RYizs
There were several times where I played this song in loop mode for over an hour, that's how I am when I love the song, I could play that for the whole day.
One thing that became my hobby before too is to make montages out of raw videos on internet using this song as its background music. Video editing is really one of my hobbies, it's actually one of my dream job aside from being a director.
ILLENIUM - Free Fall ft. RUNN
https://youtu.be/DfLqy83UHk8
The first time I heard this song was I fell inlove already. This song is mostly used as a background music for e-games. Love this song too!
Gryffin - Nobody Compares To You ft. Katie Pearlman
https://youtu.be/L4p-g3AprzU
Yow! I could play this song for a hundred times non-stop. I discovered this song when I was in 12th Grade and I was playing this song during breaktime and when I'm riding public transportations.
Alius, Rasmus Hagen - Fraction (Remix)
https://youtu.be/-Qyp8RQPiUI

The Chainsmoker - All We Know
https://youtu.be/lEi_XBg2Fpk
Who will not like the songs of Chainsmoker? All their songs are perfect but this one hits different to me. Until now whenever I play this song, I can't stop myself from dancing to the beat of this and it could change my mood from being sad to a chill and happy kiddo mood.
ILLENIUM - Take You Down
https://youtu.be/SL_-RqReveA
This is the song which I'm currently being addicted to listen these days, but I already knew this song few years ago.

Have a great day wonderdul people ♡.
Unique Sunglasses
Before I begin with the story of this unique sunglasses, let me flex here my one of the reasons why I'm motivated to write here. Check them out too 😊.
Here we go.
My father is a rider ever since, motorcycle is actually the first vehicle he bought for himself. I was just 7 years old at the time. He loves riding on to two wheeled vehicle so after 10 years of being a motorcycle rider, he bought a bicycle. This is the time when he was motivated to lose weight because my father is a literally a big and tall man with a big tummy.
Since he loves two wheeled vehicles, he bought so many accessories for him and for his motorcycle and bike. He loves wearing a cool outfit everytime he go somewhere. Black jacket with cool shirt inside, together with his cool hand motorcycle gloves, helmet and and a pair of maangas na shoes.
Same goes to how he wear whenever he wants to ride on his bike. He is fully equipped with all the essential bike safety gears, especially those sunglasses. He has a collection of different sunglasses here with different cool designs for his motorcycle and mountain bike.
Few years ago, every sunday morning one of my father's routine is to do an exercise bike at the nearest open space here which is ideal for bikers because of its wide road. But that's 4 km away from here so it need 8-10 minutes travel before reaching that place.
That morning, my father was ready for his sunday exercise together with his cool outfit which he never missed to do. The time he left our house and was riding his bike, he saw one of our neighbor looking at him while it wiping all the dirt ouside their house. He ignored it as he tought it is just admiring his outfit.
When he reached the main highway, he noticed again that people that he is passing by are also looking at him, some are staring at him, some are even smiling. Because of that, my father's confidence level went even higher as he think that he is just attractive that time LOL.
When he arrived on the place, he started doing his exercise there. Same as what happened earlier, the people who are doing an exercise beside the road were looking at him too everytime he pass them since the road their is in oval shape. My father has no idea why people keep on looking at him except for maybe he might look attractive while riding on his bike.
When he reaches the other side of the neopolitan, he was approached by a man who is selling shades or sunglasses for bikers. He offered my father with his items saying, "Sir, it looks like your riding glasses are broken, you might want to buy new one? I have cooler designs here". My father wondered why the man said it as the sunglasses he's currently wearing is still fine for him.
So he took his sunglasses off and was shocked that his sunglasses have only one lens and on the other side was missing. So all through out that morning, people are looking at his unique sunglasses and his exposed one eye Lol.

Lessons & Realizations About Life From Being A Solo ML Player
In this generation, playing computer and mobile games is top on to-do list of most of individuals during their spare time. We could easily notice that by just using other well known social media apps through streaming. A lot of gamers on fb used their pages or personal accounts to show the public how they play their favorite games wether it is for mobile or for PC, they called "Streamers". With the help of these streamers or other well known personalites, they can entice other people to play what they have played or playing so as the result of it, many young people are very into gaming nowadays.
Have you ever been scolded by your parents for being addicted to a certain online games? And have you tried to tell them too that it is an online game and cannot be paused? Well, I have experience both of that before. Speaking of online games, let's focus on the most famous multiplayer online game on mobile phones which is Mobile Legends.
I started playing this since 2018, so that's almost 4 years ago. I only play this whenever I wanted to or when I'm bored. This whole pandemic, I only play this alone, I don't have squads or friends who can play with me for most of them are not into arena games like this, so in the past 2 years I'm just a solo rank player. Believe me, I only achieved Mythic Rank when I started to play in solo.
For playing this as a solo player, I have a lot of learnings from this game that we can connect to our life. Here are them;
We Lose Some And We Win Some
I guess, even the best of pro players in MLBB had their defeats too because that's inevitable. Even if you have the strongest and smartest team, one wrong move could lead you to defeat.
Just like in life, losing and winning is really part of our journey. What we are aiming after losing or failing from our past? Success or in ML it's called Victory. That's what the most important about life. We reach Epic rank from Warrior rank means we got more winning games than defeats. So if you ever feel like you don't have progress at all, just look at where you currently at and look back at what you are before. Can you already buy using your own money those things you once dreamt of before when you were just a kid? If yes then that's a progress. Remember, it's okay to fail but we should make sure to not let it happen for most of the time. ***We can only have a progress if the number of our success is greater than the number of our losses.***
Be Flexible
As a solo player, I've already encountered teams who don't want to be the tank and most of the time it leads to losing a star. That's why since I'm already a tank user, I became the shield of my team most of the time, I am the one who'll adjust when no one wants to just to make sure our win.
In reality, we need to be flexible or learn to adjust in the environment we have in order to survive. For example in our work, being possessed by this would be a great help not just for ourselves but for the company where we are working.
Most Of The People We Meet Are Just Temporary But Some Of Them Could Be One Of Our Way In Achieving Our Goals
Being a solo player in a 5v5 game could lessen the possiblity of winning since I don't have any idea at how my allies play, if they are a pro, a trashtaker, a feeder, a troll or just an average player. Having a nice teammates is a blessing, unity and coordination of each player is a must in this kind of game. We can't win in this 5v5 game alone, because it is seemingly impossible to beat 5 players and defend 9 turrets and 1 base all at once. However, all these strangers we met in this game are just temporary and after 1 match with them, we could no longer team up again with them but what makes this game more enjoyable is when a 5 strangers unite, that everyone on the battlefield is working well and knows the objectives, we could win the game.
In life, there are some instances where the person who we just met yesterday or last week could be a way for us in our success. Or in some cases, they're just strangers to us. Just like in ML, our teammates became one of our ways in winning the game aside from our skills. They're just temporary yet they helped us even if it is big or small things.
If we would try to open our mind and heart at everything we do, everything has its own lessons, even if it is just a spoon, a lock or keys etcetera.

That's all for today people, hello to all the gamers out there!
Have a great day wonderful people ♡.
Ranking My School Life Each Year
School is every student's second home. Just like in our own houses, we also have our teachers and classmates that we can consider as our second parents and siblings. Schools give us tasks and responsibilities just like in our house but it only differs on the lessons that our teachers taught us and most especially the experiences that we never experienced inside our own home.
Have you still remember your very first day at school? For me, I can't remember it anymore but I can still remember the first month only and not the first day as it was already 16 years ago. In this article, I will rank my school life each school years so I can give you an idea about how enjoyable my school years before for me. 10 would be the highest and 1 would be the lowest. I will base my answers on how enjoyable that year became for me. So, let's start from the first stage.
Kindergarten: 5/10
At first, I didn't really like to go to school, study and make friends. I hate it. All I want is to just stay in our house, play and watch cartoons every morning. I don't want to be away from my mother that's why I became her number one source of stress before everytime I cry before going in to our classroom. However, I enjoyed it later on because there's a lot of art activities for us on that year.
Grade 1: 7/10
Just like in the series of crying every start of the class in my kindergarten year, it also happened on this year. But everything seems to be more enjoyable for me after a few months because this is the year where I had my first ever crush.
Grade 2: 4/10
I hate this year and my adviser, she always wear a serious face and is very strict to us.
Grade 3: 2/10
Worst school year ever. I had a strict advisers and classmates who are bullying me every single day. This is the year where I just want to drop out because I feel like our school is a hell.
Grade 4: 10/10
My transferee days, a life changing year for me. This time, I enjoyed more my stay in my new school, I had the best and coolest adviser too. He's **Sir Alfie**, he's the one who bring the best out of me.
Grade 5: 9/10
I had my second crush this time, he's one of my classmates. I belonged to a nice section with a cool and handsome adviser. I maintained my top in our class too.
Grade 6: 10/10
I had the my one of the best circle or friends ever in our classroom. I enjoyed going to school every day too so I can see my crush which is the son of my advisor who was belong to other section.
Grade 7: 8/10
It's still fun even though that we have a lot of strict teachers during this year.
Grade 8: 7/10
Studying and designing my Inter Active Notebook in Science is really enjoyable. However, I will just rate it 7 coz this is the year where the sections which I'm belong is really active in different dance competitions like Histo Cultural Dance and Cheeredance. I'm introvert and hate performances so imagine my struggles I have to face during this year LOL.
Grade 9: 9/10
This is the time I started to like afternoon classes which I hated before. It's fun walking on our streets at night with my classmates.
Grade 10: 6/10
I have a lot of jollibee classmates or bida bida during this year, so I didn't much enjoyed my last year in junior high, sad.
Grade 11: 8/10
My first time experience studying in a university. Mixed emotions for me during this year, but what I liked about this year is I had a chance to go to far places and make some gala.
Grade 12: 10/10
If I could only go back to the past, this is the year I'll choose. Best section, best circle of friends and best experiences. I discovered a lot of things during this year. Most satisfying school year for me.
1st Year College: 8/10
Not the best year yet I have a lot of lessons and experiences during this year. Mental breakdowns and heartbreaks are some of the struggles I fought in this year.
2nd Year College: 9/10
My last experience in college, but I'm happy that I enjoyed every single day of mine during this time. I'm proud of my academic achievements and for all the lessons I've learned wether in class or in life. I have so many realizations this year too which helped me to become and continue being my better self in life.
Even though I didn't had a chance to finish my course, I'm still glad that I made it atleast this far than nothing. One day, I'll definitely go back from where I stopped once I have enough money to finance my school fees. That's all for today people! I hope you enjoyed reading my reviews of my boring school life.

Have a great day wonderful people ♡.
Karaoke Songs That Pinoys Love to Sing
In every filipino party, karaoke machine is always present in the venue. It's part of how filipino celebrate and have fun to every occasions such as birthdays, fiesta, holidays and more. Filipinos are known for being good at singing, not literally everyone but most of them. That's why, hearing someone singing on a mic from your neighborhood is really common here in the Philippines. It's part of pinoy's life.
Singing serves as one of the best way for every filipinos to get bond with each other during a special day or celebration. And as a filipino, I've already attended so many karaoke parties. One thing I've noticed is that, the choices of songs of filipino to play in karaoke. For today's topic, I will share here the songs that I think are part of filipino favorites to sing on a karaoke. So here are them.
Ang Huling El Bimbo
https://youtu.be/lajnSJZpI34
You will mostly hear this in a party or celebration being sung by a man with his friends beside him while drinking alcoholic beverages. Aside from that, it is mostly sung by a student in a certain karaoke room together with his/her classmates after their class. This song is not too high to sing that's why everyone could play and sing this to a karaoke. Ang Huling El Bimbo is a song by **Eraserheads** and was released on **1995**, after that it became one of the most picked song to sing at every filipino celebrations. The popularity of this song never fades from the day it was first released up until now.
Back To December
https://youtu.be/QUwxKWT6m7U
As a girl, I've witnessed how this song is so used in every birthdays I've attended. This song is mostly sung by teenage girls like me, and I won't excempt myself from them. I love singing this song too before since I'm a fan of **Taylor Swift** together with Avril Lavigne's Complicated LOL.
Halik | Basang Basa sa Ulan
https://youtu.be/COQJlimjOUU
This is mostly sung by those who can reach high notes. Since filipinos are known for being a good singer then this song is just a common song to sing here. Halik and Basang Basa sa Ulan is both a song of **Aegis**. Also, these songs is mostly sung by those who are already drunk so they can reach the high parts of the song 😂.
Halaga
https://youtu.be/RMxo6rVDnm8
A song by **Parokya ni Edgar**, just like the song 'Huling El Bimbo', I would rank this song as similar to that song when in terms of how it is being picked at every filipino occasions. Until now, it is still part of filipino's favorites.
It's All Coming Back To Me Now
https://youtu.be/j8fHNdrZTSI
Here in our place is a proof already of how this song became part of my choices to include here. Both my mother and sisters love to sing this song in karaoke as well as our neighbors here. This song is by **Céline Dion**.
Narda
https://youtu.be/ZsEdinsZYsI
A song by **Kamikazee**, this song was made to paid tribute through a song to the most well known filipina superhero here in the Philippines named Darna.
The Day You Said Goodnight
https://youtu.be/DbIY9NSho8Y
"To beee mukha kang tutubi", this famous line came from this song LOL. But we all know how this song became so used at every karaoke parties we've attended. This is mostly reffered as nostalgic song and is still being sung by everyone until now. This song is so beautiful, it was written by **Roll Martinez Jr**. from the band **Hale**.
Migraine
https://youtu.be/aJGgRlF0GA0
Mostly sung by those who are being ignored by their crush haha. I bet most of the pinoys who are reading this now knows how popular this song is in every karaoke parties or celebrations. This is a song by the rock band called **Moonstar88**.
Di Ko Na Mapipigilan
https://youtu.be/sz05Db7Asb0
When there's a party, there must be a song that has a good beat that will make every people dance and this is the perfect song for that. This a song by **Sexbomb Dancers**. Lately, this song became popular because of the trend on Tiktok. It even became part of the dance challenge in the same platform where the challengers were only boys.
There you have it! These are the songs I find being used and sung most of the time in a filipino karaoke. There's a lot more but since they are too many, I can't include all of them here hehe.
****My motivators⤵****
`By the way, I made my new Thank You Card for my articles here, it was inspired by my admiration to the outside world together with a short qoute. This will be my new closing card from now on.`

Last Wish
It's saturday morning, the most awaited day of Catherine. The church and reception venues are ready. The color theme of the wedding is blue which is the favorite color of Catherine, the bride.
Everyone's are busy preparing and getting ready for the wedding, Catherine is having a mixed emotion while staying at the girl's dressing room. She don't know if she wants to cry or jump because of happiness for this is her dream since she was young, to get married to someone she really loves.
The right time has come, Catherine's bridal car finally arrives at the church. The church' door slowly opened with Catherine standing outside of it. Until everyone finally saw the bride and most of them started crying. Catherine looks so beautiful with her bridal gown while holding a boquet of her favorite flowers together with her angelic face. His soon to be husband is standing at the front, with tears on his eyes while staring at her as she walks slowly down the aisle.
Catherine's mother and her friends are in tears as they're finally declared as husband and wife. Catherine looks so happy with his husband named Paul while they're standing at the front. Everyone started taking photos and videos of them getting married. After a few minutes, it's time for taking pictures of them together with the whole family and relatives with their hired photographers.
As the guests starting to come in the front, Catherine looked around and saw the friends of his husband congratulating her from a not so far seat. She smiled at them until she saw someone standing behind her husband's friends. It was smiling at her with a teary eyes. But his husband told her to look on the camera as the photographer was about to say the "3, 2, 1" *clicked*.
After that, she immediately looked at the spot again where he saw the guy but it's not there anymore.
Everything went well and fun at the reception venue. Until a guy approached one of the caterers who is standing in front of the foods and told him, "Can you please say to the bride later to check Francis' stuff after this?", the caterer agreed to it and the guy thanked him and walked away, the caterer realized that he forgot to ask the guy's name but it's too late as it gone too fast.
After the party, the caterer finally had a chance to approach Catherine and said to her what the guy told him who he thought to be one of the guests. Catherine suddenly stopped from what she's doing and looked around. The caterer asked her, "Are you okay ma'am?" but after a few seconds, Catherine answered him she's okay.
A day after getting married, Catherine is preparing her things for their out of town honeymoon when she decided to do what the caterer told her last night since it was already stucked in her mind. She went to the her storage room and find her ex's stuffs. Until she found it, it's a big box containing all the arts, books and some clothes of Francis, her first boyfriend.
It's been 6 years since she last opened this box for it will just hurt her whenever she sees her ex' special things. She's the one who arranged and kept all those things before that's why she's wondering why the caterer told her to check her ex stuffs though she already knew what's inside of it. Until she saw a book, this was Francis' favorite book to read when he was staying in the hospital. Francis was the first love of Catherine, they met during their college years and promised each other that they will finish college together and will marry each other one day but Francis didn't make it. Five months before their graduation, Francis was diagnosed with bone cancer. And in 5 months of battling to it, his cancer won.
1 week after Francis' burial, Catherine graduated from her course Fine Arts. It was only her who made it there. Catherine started crying as she remembered Francis and the time when she was crying while walking towards the stage to claim her diploma without Francis by her side anymore.
She opened the book and was shocked that there is a letter inside it. She read it while crying.
*Hi love,*
*Maybe you already have someone with you now, I'm sorry if I didn't fulfill what I promised you before, to graduate and get married. But since I know I will never be able to fulfill that, my last wish now while I am still alive is that, may you find a man who can be with you and will fulfill your dream of getting married. I'm sure I'm already gone at that time so I'll just leave this letter here in my book, so one day, you will know that the only thing I wish that would definitely make me happy too before I leave, is to see you smile and be happy again, not because of me but with someone who'll love you the same way I do.*
*I have no other wish but your happiness my love :)*
*May 1, 2009*
Francis wrote this letter 2 weeks before he died. After that, he never leave Catherine until she get married. He guided Catherine until she finds the man that will truly love her. Francis appeared to Cath on her wedding as it's his last goodbye to her.
The End.
Thank you for Reading 😊

New Year's Resolutions
Today is the day 2 of 2022, I'm actually planning to write yesterday after I woke up at 8:30 am but then I suddenly felt like I want to rest first. What I just did yesterday was to transfer all my earnings from both of these platforms, Noise and Read. Now, my wallets are back to zero, except here in read because I need to still have a small amount of USD so I can share it here.
Now, let's move on to my main topic here, ****My New Year's Resolutions****. To be honest, I never had any new year's resolutions before because I believe, if I want it I'll do it right away and I'll just disappoint myself if I'll ended up not fulfilling all of those from my plans so I never did, not until now that I became more organized at everything I do and plan for myself.
Here are the list of my new year's resolutions 📝
**Drink 8 glasses of water a day**
I'm proud of myself that I'm not dehydrated anymore like I was before when I'm still in college. When I was still studying, I think I only drink 1 or two glasses of water for the whole day of staying in our school. My life before was really unhealthy which I removed to myself when lockdown started. Even though I'm drinking plenty of water now, I will still include this on my list so I won't forget it for the rest of this year again.
**Meet new people**
After being stucked in our house for almost two years, I've finally decided to get out of my comfort zone this 2022. I want to experience this year meeting a lot of people, but in order to achieve that I need to socialize too. I need to improve my social skills first which is one of my priorities for this year.
**Fresh and positive mind**
I'm now at the stage where I'm looking for a job. Having a positive mind is a must once I started my journey in this stage. I'm sure there will be a lot rejections along my way so I need to have a positive mind all the time. Besides from having a positive mind, I promise that I will have a fresh mind too, as fresh as this year. I want to let go of the bad memories that made my mind to feel heavy during 2021. This time, I want to have a fresh start, not only physically but also mentally.
**Earn and save more money**
As one of those people who have experienced a great loss brought by pandemic in my life, one of my goal right now is to earn and save money as much as I can do. I never want to experience anymore the bad things I went through on the year 2020 to 2021. This year, I want to be more productive, I want to earn more and I want to save more for my own future and for the future of my family.
**Spend more time with people I love**
One of my motto nowadays is "Live life to the fullest", coz we never know what will happen tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. Spending more time with my love ones is really one of my priorities this year. And I don't want to have regrets at the end so I better do the things that will make me happy now. **Always remember, memories are forever so as long as we still have time, keep on creating more of it.**
**To have a business where I can use my skills**
One of my hobbies and skills are into art that's why I want to combine these two; business and art. However, I still don't know what type of business I want to have but I hope before this year ends I have my desired business already.
**Travel more**
Since pandemic took a lot of time and opportunities for us to travel, this time I want to have an adventurous 2022. I want to go on a swimming, to have a beach trip, to ride on a ship or airplane, visit far provinces or places and etcetera. Life it too short to spend mu whole life in one city, I should go outside and explore more places. Traveling is one of my goal this year.
♡♡♡
Having a new year's resolutions could be a great help for us in becoming the better version of us. A changes that is for the good and not for the worst. Now that we are back to day 2 of 365, there is nothing wrong if we could use it as our starting point for doing our things differently, it is just a matter of how we stick to it until we achieved our desired results.
Before I end this article, I want to say thank you @Ling01 for the sponsorship ✨
