Life After 18
As our age increases, our obligations in life does too. They say, we can only experience what real life really is once we stepped into our adulthood years. If you're over 18 now, I am pretty sure you're also missing those days where we do nothing but to play for the whole day, those days where the only problem we have is how we can sleep at the afternoon so we can play with our friends after waking up from this nap.
I regret that I shouldn't have wished when I was a kid that may time,days and years would speed up so I can finally become an adult. Now that I am 21, I witnessed how the real life really works. I have so much realizations, I've learned so much from the past years and I'm sure that life will going to teach me a lot more than these lessons I learned right now for the next years ahead of me.
So here are some of my experiences after I turned eighteen.
Entering College
After turning 18, choosing what course you would like to take will be your one of the most important decisions in your life as it'll have a big effect on your future. Once you become a college student, you'll start to face a lot of challenges, it may cause you stress or even depression because of the requirements, thesis, pressure, presentations etc. College isn't easy at all when it comes to academics yet these years will teach you a lot of things in your entire life, your college years will be full experiences and life lessons and most importantly the good times with your college friends as it will be your last remaining years of being called a **"student"**.
Starting to Lose Friends
This will be one of the most painful part of becoming an adult. The years where all the people around you will have a different path in life, some will move to another city, others will start working, some will start their own family etc. These is were the years that you and your friends won't have time anymore on other things except for work and studies. You'll start to feel being betrayed by your friend, being cheated on or none at all, you'll just start to lose them because you all already have your own life and because of busy schedules you won't have time for them same from them to you, so it will end up that you weren't close to each other anymore or in the worst case some of them will just become as stranger again.
Taking Responsibilities
At these years, you are going to have an obligations and responsibilities with yourself and to your family. You might be incharge of paying your electricity bill, water bill or internet connection. You'll lose interest on playing games and surfing on the internet for the whole day as you already have a lot of responsibilities to do before doing such things. Your parents and future will be one of your main priorities in life as they're already weak knees and can't go back to work anymore. Starting your own family will be part of your responsibilities too because of your being a wife to your husband or husband to your wife, and most especially is having your own child is also a big responsibility.
Your Opinions will Matter
Unlike before when you're still a minor, when it comes to family decisions, your opinions will now matter to other members of the family. As you are matured enough to make desicions whether if it will be for yourself or for the others. You will start giving advice to those who are younger than you because you might have been there and already knew what would be the best thing to do.
Heartbreaks
You will start to meet a lot of people along your way, it will also be the years where you will often feel the heartbreaks of your life because of your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife. Misunderstandings, no communication with your partner or even being cheated on is one of the examples that might cause you feel so hurt emotionally. As you are both matured and serious on your relationship, but still ended up not being together, the heartbreaks after 18 are more painful than the love we had on our high school years.
Not just in relationship but heartbreaks are general like losing a friend, family or when someone did something bad on you.
The life after 18 will have a big change on your life, it will teach you a lot of things. This is just to remind you that these things might happen on you as well when the right time has come for you to finally enter the world of adulthood.
♡♡♡
Life can be so hard, but if you'll look deeper in every experiences it has a lesson whether if it is good or bad on us. Because our whole life is a journey, full explorations, experiences and lessons.

If I were a Billionaire
They say, money can't buy happiness, but for me it somehow does. We cannot deny the fact that money can make us happy in other ways such as, owning a house, buying new car, being able to buy things that we dreamed of before, having the chance to explore the world by travelling, giving our parents the life where we wanted them to experience and etc. Having these kind of achievements can really make us happy.
And if I were a billionaire, I would rather spend these lots of money on a good cause. Like,
Funding a Charity for Stray Animals
My heart really goes to animals. Everytime I see animals on the street, I feel so sorry for them, I feel like my heart is breaking into two whenever I see stray dogs or cat's skinny body and just wating for a random people to give them food. However, if I have some food on my hands or in my backpack I always give it to them.
That's why if I am a billionaire, I will prioritize these innocent ones. I want to build a home for these homeless cats and dogs. I want them to experience the life they deserved, such as a place where they can feel safe, away from vehicles and smoke pollution, away from bad people, a home where they can eat 3 time or more a day and a place where they will feel the love and care of humans.
Providing a House for Homeless People
Home is one of the basic needs of a human being, it would be so hard to live if we don't have it that's why I want to use my money to make a change on someone's life especially if it is a family already. In just a simple deeds like giving them some food or a little money on the streets can make me happy, what more if I can give them a house, I think I would definitely cry for joy once it happen.
Funding a Scholarship Programs for Students
I know how hard it is, as I am currently experiencing it. I know how painful and stressful it is that you need to stop your studies because you can't afford the school fees anymore. I know the feeling of it, that's why I don't want other students to experienced it too. I want to help those students who are willing to pursue their courses, because I want them to experience school and have fun with their remaining years without any worries with their school fees.
In this way, I didn't only the students on pursuing their dreams and future but also their parents.
Invest some of it on Crypto
Since we are living in a digital world. Investing on Cryptocurrencies is one of the best way to do with your money. This would be the first thing I would do if O have a lot of money.
But always remember, always invest what you can afford to lose.
Build a different Businesses
As I mentioned my dream businesses in one of my recent articles, I would definitely spend my money on things that will make my money grow too. I will hire a lot of people who needs a job, so that I can still help them in a way I know.
**Lastly,**
I will enjoy my life with the most important people in my life
Helping my family is one of the greatest achievement I could have in my entire life.
For my personal happiness, I would like to travel and explore the world while I am still here. I want to experience things that I wanted to try back then. I will use my money just for happiness as I cannot take it with me once I died.
***I'll always use my money to achieve my happiness. ♡***

Tips on How to Save Money as Student
It is very important to learn how to save and manage our own money because being a student doesn't end only at being able to attend school, learning new things, making friends and passing all the subjects, because being student isn't easy at all as we also have our expenses like books, tuition fees, food, transportation fee and other expenses. That's why it is very important to make ourselves aware of our expenses and learn to save them as much as we can as it will help us to survive our daily life at school.
So here are my tips to those students out there who are struggling with managing their allowance. These tips were also helped me at school during normal days, so I hope it would help you too with your money.
Tip #1: Know your Expenses
The first thing you need to do is to know all your expenses in everyday or in a month, make a lists of them in a notebook or using your phone's note so you'll be aware of them so that you can save your money for them.
Tip #2: Have your own bottled water
Going to school and studying can make us tired and thirsty all the time. So it is very important for you to have your own water since there's a lot of school who doesn't have fountains. Instead of drinking softdrinks or other drinks at your canteen, you better drink water, it'll make you healthier too.
Tip #3: Bring your own food
Instead of buying costly food at your canteen, bring your own food at school so you can have your food for break time without spending any amount of money from other foods.
Tip #4: Eat a lot at home
Before going to school, it would be better if you had your heavy meal at your home so you won't get hungry anymore at school. This the the most practical way I've always been doing before, it really helped me to save more money.
Tip #5: Avoid partying or going out with your friends
Not to totally avoid since it might cause you to have a boring school life. Just avoid this kind of occassions as much as you can or if it'll not cause you problem eventually due to short budget then you can go. Skipping from this happenings isn't bad or not being kj (kill joy), it's just because you have a discipline in yourself when it comes to your expenses.
Tip #6: Look for scholarships or discounts
As being student, tuition fees are the number one problem of every parents and student especially at college level. Being qualified from this kind of program is such a privelege. Having discounts is a big help too as you can no longer pay it's original price. If you get atleast one of these, congratulations, keep up the good work and study hard.
Tip #7: Walk or use public transportations
Instead of riding other expensive transportations, you can use jeep, tricycle or bus. Go with everything that has a cheap fees. Also if you can walk, do it. It'll help you become healthier too.
Tip #9: Look for an account where you can earn interest
Having this kind of account can help you earn money by just keeping your money there.
Tip #8: Be contented of what you have
If you have a phone that is fine and can still be use, do not aspire for expensive mobile phones. Just keep in mind that they still have the same functions, why do you need to buy a new one if the older one is still fine? Not just in phones but on other material things as well.
Being smart in managing your own money means you also have a higher chance to become successful in life. So practice yourself to not waste your money on non-sense things. Study hard and work hard and make your parents proud of you.

Ang aking What If's
Madalas kong pinipiling maging magisa kaya't minsan hindi naiiwasan ng aking isip na maglayag at mapagtanto ang mga bagay bagay.
Madami na akong iniisip sa buhay ko pero dumagdag pa ang mga ito, kaya idadamay ko na rin kayo hahaha. Kaya't narito na ang ilan sa mga aking **What If's** na nagpapagulo sa aking isipan araw araw.
What if nawala ang gravity sa mundo
Kung sakaling mangyari ito, ano nalang ang magiging itsura ng mga kalsada?, paano tayo maliligo? Ano ang mangyayari sa mga madisyertong lugar at higit sa lahat ano ang magiging itsura ng karagatan at ng kalangitan kung sakaling mangyari ito isang araw.
**What if ang lahat ng tao ay nakakalipad**
Maaaring papabor dito ang siyensya sapagakat mawawala na ang mga maiitim na usok na binubuga ng mga sasakyan sa kalsada at sa tingin ko rin ay bababa na ang porsiyento ng mga naaksidente, kung magkakaroon man doon lamang sa mga lasing at wala sa katinuan ang pagiisip ang magdudulot ng mga aberya sa ere. Kapag nangyari rin ito, posible kayang magkaroon pa ng traffic?.
**What if ang lahat ng tao sa mundo ay immortal**
Imagine mismong si Albert Einstein ang nagtuturo sa atin ng lahat ng theories nya through his youtube channel. Puro showbiz at chismis na lamang ang magiging laman ng mga balita sa mundo. Walang mga sementeryo at maaaring pati dagat ay tinirhan na ng mga tao gawa ng over population na sa buong mundo. Ano na lang ang mangyayari sa mundo kung ang lahat ng tao ay walang kinakatakutang kamatayan at walang iniingatang buhay?.
**What if ang lahat ng tao ay mayaman**
Mawawalan na kaya ng gana ang mga tao na magtrabaho?. Marahil ay wala nang alitan ang mga magkakamag anak at magkakaibigan dahil sa utang.
**What if hindi nagkatuluyan ang mga magulang natin nung kabataan nila**
Syempre wala tayo, pero tao parin kaya tayong mabubuhay? O magiging part pala talaga tayo ng animal kingdom kung sakaling mangyari ito...
**What if pinanganak tayo sa opposite ng kasarian natin ngayon**
Jusko! Ano na lang itsura ko HAHAHA. Pero kung ako ang may kakayahang pumili ng aking kasarian, pipiliin ko paring maging isang babae dahil gusto kong maranasang magluwal at maging isang ina.
**What if may kakayahan ang bawat tao na mag time travel**
Siguro ang gulo gulo na ng history natin. Lol.
What if magkatotoo in real life ang movie na A Quiet Place
Hindi makakaligtas dito ang family ko, pati mga kapitbahay naming chismosa. Charot!
Narito rin ang iba pa.
**-What if tayong mga tao ang may apat na paa at dalawa lang sa hayop**
-What if mawala lahat ng hayop sa buong mundo at mapalitan ng dinosaurs
**-What if panaginip lang pala lahat ng ito at pagkagising natin 2019 palang**
**-What if biglang mawala ang araw**
**-What if magkatotoo ang zombie apocalypse**
-What if tayo talaga yung alien
-What if one day permanenteng mawala ang internet
**-What if hindi kinain ni Eba ang prutas**
-What if hindi tayo iniwan
**-What if mawala nang tuluyan ang mga away at alitan ng bawat isa.**
That's all, maaari ko pa itong dagdagan subalit hindi na masyadong gumagana ang aking brain kaya't muli ko itong iuupdate sa susunod na mga araw.
How about you, ano ang mga What If's mo?
♡♡♡

My Dream Businesses
I am a type of person who always dream big even if it is really impossible to happen, because why not? Like what filipino saying says "Libre lang ang mangarap". We're living in a world where everything has a value and costs money except for dreaming.
Ever since when I was a kid, I used to admire people who are running a business, for me they're so smart and very hardworking person. Until I realized to myself that I want to become like them in the future, I want to run or manage my own business too. Though, during this time, I am still not aware that it's not that easy to have run a business as I am still a kid with nothing else to do but to play everyday and doesn't bothered by problems yet.
**So, I would like to share here the businesses I would like to have in the future.**
Restaurant
I remembered during my childhood years, I used to play **"Lutu-lutuan"** with my childhood friend outside their house using her toy kitchen set. That's the time I started to dream of having my own restaurant too up until now. The strand I took in my senior high years was ABM-HRM, supposedly HRM was actually my first choice of course in college but I ended up taking BSIT.
During my past time, I always spend it on cooking different dishes, sometimes I tried making my own recipes out of all the available ingredients in our house. Once I have my own resto business, I will still continue myself in inventing new recipes, so that my restaurant would have its very own recipes that will make it unique. Also, since I love decorating, I will be the one who will be the interior decorator of my own business.
Boutique
It was all started when I often watch fashion shows in our television, I started to get amazed with each clothe's designs, until I decided to buy my own sketch pad and drew a lot of gowns in it with my very own designs. I once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer before since I really love doing it and also to express my creativity and thoughts through these gowns I made. Not just in gowns, but also I want to have my very own designs of tops, pants, t-shirt with printed designs I made etc.
I want to share my designs here but unfortunately, all of them are gone now because my mother accidentally threw them away to the trash.
Cosmetic Shop
The girly side of me wants this kind of business in the future since I love doing makeup to myself, it's actually one of my most favorite thing to do while I am alone here in our house just to kill some time due to boredom. Watching makeup tutorials is one of my hobbies. I don't know I just love coloring my face or just to improve my looks with the help of make ups.
I want to build my own shop with my own beauty products. My own lipstick and liptints with my chosen shades, foundations, eye shadows etc. But I don't know yet what to name for my cosmetic products pa hehe.
Grocery Store
I think this would be the first thing I will build once I have enough money to start in business since food is not just a wants of human but we need it in everyday living. Selling goods will never go out of style and will never go out of trend.
We once had a small sari-sari store before, I am always in charge on being the cashier and I also the inventory sometimes. That experiences made me become motivated even more to pursue my goals, so I can have my own grocery store someday.
Perfume Shop
I am really obsessed with perfumes ever since, I love collecting colognes and perfumes during my high school years up to now. I am so excited to create or formulate my own scents for both male and female and as much as possible I will make them very affordable for everyone since we know that we filipino loves cheap prices but I'll still make sure that if I my products says "Long lasting Fragrance", it will actually be :).
Apartment Rental Business
I think this would be the most hassle free among all the businesses I've mentioned above because once I owned this kind of business, the major problem I will face will be the maintenance of the house only. One of its advantages is also, I can pass them to my future son and daughter once it's their right time naman to manage a business. So that I can settle down and just enjoying the rest of my life with my partner. Charot.
However, this kind of business will also require me to have a lot of money in order to start. So.. I thinks I need to become millionaire first hehe.
The businesses that I've mentioned above are the reasons why I am motivated in life. I will give my best so that I can have at least one of these businesses that I will run and manage someday. I will never lose hope on the **Law of Attraction's** power ♡.
**Thank you for reading!**

Perks of Being an Introvert
There is so many factors in my life that made me become an introvert. From a little girl to a 21 years old women now and for the next decades of my life, I would still be that introvert girl who loves animals and art.
Based on my own experiences, being an introvert has always been associated with a lot of things including the judgements from other people. Some say I look weird, some say I am so boring to be with, but those words are actually came from the people I rarely bond with, that's why it's okay for me to received those kinds of words because I know in myself that there is some people who doesn't know that there are some people who value their space and have comfort zone from each person they've known.
Here are some of the perks of being an Introvert
***(Based on my own Experiences)***
Having few but real friends
Introverts value quality over quantity when it comes to relationships. You will often see introverts in a circle of 2-4 friends, as introverts are known for being shy and a huge crowd scared them to death. Because they believe that the less people we have in our life the less drama.
Personally, have 3 bestfriends in life, they were my bestfriends since junior high school and what I loved about them is we have a same personalities, we have the same taste on music and even on foods, we're not really into sports, we are creative in our own different ways and most importantly is we value each and everyone's spaces.
Creative Mind
Since introverts spend most of their time being quiet or alone, introverts have a lot of time thinking or imagining things or scenarios in their minds that they could also apply in real life. Introverts have actually a wide imagination in different things. They might help you if you are having a hard time creating a beautiful ending of your stories, helps your project to become more creative too and etc.
Good Listener
Introverts are good listeners and followers. Introverts loves listening to other people. I am as an introvert, I am good at listening to other people's speeches or message, I can understand them easily and also I am a fast learner. Being a good listener is a big advantage, especially when you are still a student.
Having a private life
Introverts have no other desires but to have a peaceful life, the more a lot of people knows a lot of informations about you, the more you won't achieve the peace you want.
Though Introverts still shares what are the happenings in their life or even their secrets but to their most trusted persons only as they really value their privacy.
I am really a private person, other people often say that I should open or share my life with them but most of the time I refused, because of not being comfortable with them at the first place is such a big reason for me to not share my life with them. I rarely share my thoughts or happenings in life in my social media accounts also. I really want to keep everything about me within me or my most trusted persons only. I just want to be lowkey in life, let them wonder if I am hurt, happy or sad. :)
Independent
Since Introverts spend most of their time alone, they're actually being used of it for being there for so many time, so as the result they're the ones who can survive alone in every situations. They can finish a certain job by themselves without the help of other people. As they love doing things without other people, so that they can be themselves anytime while at work and also, in every works given to them they really put their efforts on it.
Observant
Introverts loves observing their surroundings. They are the type of people whom you thought doesn't care or not even aware on what was going on around but in real, they knew everything about it.
Are you this type of people? If yes, cheers! 🍻
Even though it takes time, but you'll see their true faces once they became comfortable with you and I swear you guys, Introverts are one of the bests! ♡.

8 Things that Scare Me
My friends and family often says that I really have a brave mind and heart for not getting afraid or cry over some things that could possible make others afraid already.
I remember when I was only 11 years old, I was rushed to hospital because the 1 liter bottle of coke has been accidentally explodes while I am holding it, then after a few seconds I thought I was okay but then, I felt the flowing blood from my left leg down to my feet. I was awake while the doctors are suturing my wound and I didn't even cried or feel nervous because I still manage myself not to cry while watching my cut getting close again with the help of needle and thread.
Another one is when we watched some horror movies, they say it was very traumatizing to watch and it really scared them but I never felt that while watching it. I never been scared of ghosts since I never saw or feel atleast one of them 😅.
However, everybody have strenghts in life, I can say that no one in this world doesn't scared at all. We all have our weak points and these are the examples of mine.
Empty Wallet
I bet y'all this one of our weakness lol. But yeah, it's just a paper but we can't live without it especially in these generation where money is really important in our daily life. We can't buy or make food if we don't have money, we can't live in a decent home without it, we can't attend classes without it or even go to other places ect. Not unless we're living in provinces, where our food can only be found at the back of our houses, where our basic needs can only be found in our place. But, even at these places, money are still need at some point in order to survive.
Worms
This is one of my nightmares when I was only a child. I get very terrified until now whenever I see this creature on the road or in the ground. My playmates were always chasing me while they're holding it just to scare me, and I hate them so much for doing such thing to me because I always feel nervous and almost cried whenever they do this to me. I can touch cockroaches, spiders etc but not worms. If I can rate how afraid I am to this creature, it would be 11/10.
Darkness
I remember when I was still 6 years old, we were about to sleep that night but suddenly an electricity interruption occured so we don't have the choice to continue our sleep instead. I was so scared that time, I can't afford myself not to see any light in the dark because I feel like I am already blind and that's what really scares me. What I just did is, I patiently clicking any keys on my mother's phone so it will turn on and will give me some light so I won't be scared anymore, I did it for the whole night. I really can't sleep at a place where there's no window or even a small things that could be a source of light.
Mascots
For some kids, mascots are cute, friendly and fun to be with but not on me, though I find them cute as well but I am just starting to became afraid with them once they're close to me. Their height and big body scares me. Until now I am still scared of them even though I already know that they are humans who are just wearing a costume because before, I don't know about this, I thought they're a real creatures.
Swallowing Tablet/ Capsules
My struggle is real everytime my mother pushes me to swallow a tablet. I just really can't swallow it even though I gave my best, it always getting stucked in my mouth. This is the main reason why I don't want to get sick.
Let's go to my Phobias
First is,
Tripophobia
I can assure that a lot of people have this kind of phobia. Whenever I saw small holes or bumps in everywhere like on woods, walls, on skin etc. I feel sudden goosebumps and my body feels very itchy after seeing them and I don't like that feeling. Me and my friends back in high school have the same phobia like this and that was the time I learned from google that there is a phobia like this pala.
Acrophobia
This has been one of my greatest fear in life. Though I never experienced being at the top of the highest building or being at the middle of a hanging bridge in real life, but I have experienced all of these at my dream. So, because of my dream it taught me to never ever try it even once in my whole life. However, the adventurous side of me objects on it. That I must give a try on things where I feel very scared, I still wants to experience walking at the highest hanging bridge in the world, to experience sky diving, riding in a hot air balloon and riding the coolest roller coaster in the world. Because I believe that the scare I might feel can easily gone but the experience of doing things out of my comfort zone is priceless and will forever be in my memories.
Cherophobia
I have this kind of feeling where sometimes I don't want myself to feel very happy as if there was no tomorrow. It's not because I don't want to be happy at all but because I am scared to. I think it's because of my mindset where I believe that life is fair, that not all the time I will feel the joy and happiness only because I believe that if everything went well on me today, then tomorrow or the next day will not anymore. I don't want to go on a party because I am scared that once the party is gone, the happiness I felt will be replaced with sadness. But I am giving my best to change this belief of mine as I can, I don't want to stick on this mindset forever.
These are the things that really scares me and I am so happy that I have this kind of platform where I can share everything I want here.
We all have our strenghts and weaknesses. Do not criticize or make fun of others just because they are not brave as you. You don't know what they feel inside that makes them afraid over a certain thing, so we should respect it. :)

Mind vs Heart: Decision Making
Probably most of us had been in a situation where we need to choose only one. It makes it more difficult to make our final decision if our mind and heart have an opposite view over a certain thing.
I made a short interview from some of my classmates back when I was still a senior high student and this was my question I created for them.
**"What would you rather choose to become your fate in your entire life, being with your partner and your childrens in one roof but you are poor and need to work hard each day in order to survive or you're insanely rich but you are alone?".**
Based on my observations with my chosen respondent's behaviour in our class after being with them for almost 10 months. Some of them answered they would rather choose to become poor, because they said that the **true happiness won't be found on material things**, they doesn't matter if they're poor as long as they have a family by their sides and they are living happily. Those answers came from my classmates who I observed to be one of the most talkative in class, they have a lot of friends, they love socializing and easily cried or a soft hearted ones. On the other hand, those who chose to become insanely rich instead of having a family by their sides are those who I observed to be one of those who are always getting high scores at exams, who loves debating to teachers, loves math and science or in short they were the one who are really good in academics. In their own view, once they have a lot of money they can help their parents and will not suffer anymore in life when it comes to money which is very important for a living but I asked one of them, "Don't you want to have a family?", he responded, **"I don't want my childrens to suffer just because I don't have the means to give the life they deserves, I don't want them to feel hungry each day."**
This is my interpretation based on the answers I got from my respondents.
Intelligent people are the one who always putting their mind first over their heart. They are ready to set aside their feelings if they think that the outcome would have a greater result, not just on them but for the others too. Intelligent people is future oriented, they prefer being practical at every situation. As they are intelligent enough to know or analyze what would be the possible outcomes of a decision if they choses to follow it. But it doesn't mean that they never wanted to have a happy family because everybody wants to become happy, it's just that they are most likely to depend on the result of their actions rather than on what they feel only about it.
However, those people whom I frequently see with someone or in a group are the one who really value their time with others. People who sees that life will become happier if we have someone by our sides. These people uses their feelings over their thoughts, they will always choose to love or to be loved. It doesn't matter what would happen next, the important is the present. These people will always choose the decision where they believe they'll found their true happiness. Nothing to prove anymore as long as their hearts goes on it they will follow it ♡.
I'll give you some scenarios where they used their mind and heart on making a decisions.
Remember the iconic scene from one of the most heart touching movies in the Filipino Movies?
It is the, **"Four Sisters and a Wedding"**.
The role of Bobbie (Bea Alonzo), where she chose her career over his boyfriend just to fullfill her family's needs. She set aside her feelings and uses her mind as she believes that this would have a better result for her and her family in the future even if it will hurt her.
However, on the role given to Alex (Angel Locsin), where she was characterized as the friendly and the most adventurous one, she choses the career where she believe she will become happy despite of their mother's high standards.
Also, in choosing what course we will going to take in college.
Did you took the course which you really wanted to become or you just took it just because your parents wants it for you?
**You can share your answers at the comment section down there 😊.**
Ever since, creating films, photography is what I really love the most but sadly, I didn't have the chance to take this course as I am too far from the school's who are offering this courses and we don't have enough money to rent a dorm or apartnet near it. So, I took the course which I think is really indemand nowadays since we are living in technology years. I took BSIT (Bachelor of Science in Information Technology), even though at first that Oh don't have any idea on this course that made me a bit struggle on learning to code yet, I still learned it and the most important is I enjoyed it after all. So at the end, I have no regrets about it.
♡♡♡
Making a decision is so hard especially if we are at the point where our brain says no but our heart says yes and vice versa. Both could have a better result on us, the most important is we are ready with the outcomes of it.
As for the conclusion, listening to what our mind says and following it can lead us to success but the consequences are we might feel the regrets at the end for not choosing our happiness. However, if we choose our feelings over our thoughts, it will lead us to happiness that we've been wanting for but the consequences of it is, it may also lead us to unsuccessful result.
But if this 2 connects, we could have the most happiest and successful decision ever in our life. Our heart and mind are the best combo 😁.

The 10 Stages of Life
The time when we are born, we are destined to die. Everything that we can see in this world will come to an end. It is just the matter of how we live and how we enjoy our life while we still breathing.
So here are the 10 Stages that a human will go through in his entire life.
Stage 1
Our life's journey will start on the day we've been birth. This is the first level of our life or the **infancy stage.** This is where we first met our parents, the first time we will be having our identity as a human, the first time they'll heard our first word and the first time of seeing the world with our own eyes.
Stage 2
This is our **toddler years.** The stage where we learned to walk and took our first step without the support of our scrollers. These are the years where we are starting to get curious about anything, learn to speak, run, play, make friends or even cried after falling. We do nothing but to play and learn things that we don't know yet.
Stage 3
These were the years where we most often got our scars on our knees. We started to go to school **(elementary)**, meet a lot of people, make friends, play outside, learn to speak in our native language fluently and have a crush on someone. These are the years where we starting to learn how life really works. We love playing outside through these years that's why these years were actually one of our most happiest and memorable moments in our life.
Stage 4
The **high school years**. The stage where we started to court and to be court by someone. We also starting to get obsessed with love during these years, experienced having our girlfriend/boyfriend and our first heartbreak over someone as well. These were also the years where we mostly stricted by our parents. The year where we started to get curious about the things we haven't experience, learn from mistakes and meet people that might cause us in trouble as we are on our teen age years and very easy to be influence with. Yet, this is the happiest, exciting part and the most memorable years of our life.
Stage 5
The years where we starting to build our future by deciding which course we will be taking on **college**. The time where we are getting matured in life, becoming independent and having a goals in life. Our explorations about different things is still on this stage. We get along with our friends, hangout and experience out of the town trips with them. This is also the most memorable years in our life and the saddest part as well, as we are about to enter a new chapter in our life after the graduation.
Stage 6
We are halfway of our life's journey in this stage. We will be experiencing **applying for a job**, getting hired, receiving a salary and getting fired as well. These were the years where we also starting to live by ourselves, achieve our life's goals like owning our first house, getting a new car, purchasing things we want and meeting our partner in life.
Stage 7
A stage of which **getting marriage and creating a family** occurs. We reach this level once we have planned to create our family after a years of working, this is a new chapter of our life where we will be having our childrens and we'll become a parent. The stage where our responsibilities in life becomes bigger and the struggles of being a parent is already present on us. But the most exciting part in this level is we will also begin to feel the joy of having a child with our partner by our side.
Stage 8
Once we reach this stage, our childrens are starting to grow, a typical family where a mother will just take care of her childrens at home while her husband is at work. But, other's still choose to work both so they won't depend on a single income. However, it's always determined by the parent's decision.
**Preparing for our children's future** and our life with our husband/wife is the number 1 goal in this stage or level.
Stage 9
This stage is the **retirement years**. At this new chapter of our life we will no longer work and we will just be enjoying our life with the family. The level of which our childrens are starting to become independent just like they're in level 5 or 6. As our children's become busy at their own lives, we most spend our time with our wife/ husband.
Stage 10
Lastly, these are the years where we are just **enjoying the rest of our life** with our partner, childrens and grand childrens. The years where we will just spending our years with our partners. Just looking back at the memories they spent together through the years and how their lives became so meaningful.
♡♡♡
Even we faced a lot of struggles and problems in life, we can't deny that it's so happy that we have given the chance to live, to experience things like to laugh, to cry, to feel angry, to be proud, to fell inlove, to work, to have a child etc.
As I am the author of this article, I am currently at stage 5. So I still have 5 more stages to accomplish in life 😅.
Anyways,
Thank you for reading! ♡

How did I get rid of my Acne
Our face is the first thing that other people sees on us. That's why this is one of the main physical parts of us where we're really concerned with and we really take care off.
However, have you ever experience having a pimple breakout? In my case it was all started during the quarantine days last year (April 2020). At first, I thought it was just a normal breakout due to my monthly period but then after a few weeks I started to notice that a small bumps on my cheeks appeared and became a pimples after a few days. At this time, I am still hoping that it would heal and dissappear itself since I am not using any products on my face except for soap, I am hoping that it was just normal because even before I never used any products or specifically a pimple product everytime I had a pimple. But I was wrong.
Days and week has past and I can clearly see how my face were so ruined by these pimple especially at my cheeks and forehead part. I started to get worried about my face condition because I remember that my older brother also had his breakouts during his high school years and because one of the major causes of acne is through genes, we might inherited it to my father since he also had these experiences during his pubert age.
Then, I decided to make a reasearch, first I examined my face of which type of skin do I belong and I come up to my conclusion as I am belong to those who have a very Oily type of skin.
I actually using a Silka Papaya soap on my face for about 4 years, my skin really loved silka even before but when I tried using it on my face to clear my acnes, it doesn't work at all. Until I decided to look for a certain product which are made to cure pimples.
The first thing I bought was **Pond's Acne Clear Facial Foam.**
I have a lot of hopes with this product but upon using it for weeks, at first I noticed that some of my pimples are starting to dry out which makes me very happy because I thought this will be the answer to all my problems. But then, another batch of pimples are slowly appearing in both of my cheeks that's why I decided to stop using it and I will stick again to,
**Safeguard**
Just like what the Pond's Acne Clear, this product can really dry out my pimples because of its anti bacterial properties but still it can't stop my skin to produce more pimples after after drying out my old pimples. This made me think that my acne is the cause of my hormonal imbalance and will never be treated by any skin products, so I think the problem was really beneath my skin or it was inside me.
Then I decided again to try taking a medicine for my pimples. It's **Lactezin**.
I bought 6 pcs of it from a nearby pharmacy. But before buying it, I made a research about it and how a many times should I take a capsule each day. Based on what I have watched on youtube the recommended times a day is 2 which is morning and night. I tried following it for 3 consecutive days but nothing happened with my acnes. Though I am not really dissapointed with is, it's just that it may really need a week or even month just to see the visible changes on my skin. But I can't afford to buy another capsules of it so I have no choice but to stop using it.
Each day, I always look for some articles or even vlogs just to give me some ideas of which product will suit with my skin condition. Then I found this product and based on its reviews, it does really make their pimples dry out in just 1 to 2 days. So I ordered one of it on shopee.
It is **QUICKFX PIMPLE ERASER**.
From the first day until now it was indeed a pimple eraser. I can clearly see that in just 2 days of using it that my face is getting better and better. I dries out my pimples without leaving a very dark scars on my face. If I can rate it, it would be 9/10.
While using the Pimple Eraser of QuickFx, I noticed that my skin becomes very dry so I need to give my face some moisturizer that it was badly need. I bought aloe vera gel and a face cleanser to wipe out all the products I put on my face during the whole day. But I choose to buy this it's because it is 0% Alcohol. Perfect for those who have a sensitive skin like me.
It is **Nivea MicellAir Acne Clear Face Cleanser**
This product is 10/10 for me. It really helped me on getting rid of my pimples, it really prevents pimple from occuring and besides that, I really really love this on my skin. I feel so fresh and I don't need to use moisturizer anymore because this product leaves my skin soft and healthy. I never felt the dryness on my face again the time I started using it.
I am still using the last 2 products I mentioned which is the Pimple Eraser and Micellair Acne Clear until now. I currrntly using it together with Kojie San Soap for my acne scars. Though my face' skin still producing a pimple but it's just a small one only and can easily treat by unlike before.
My main problem for now is my acne scars but thanks to **Kojie San**, it really helps me on lightening my dark spots on my face. It is 9/10 for me 😊.
After so many months I finally found the product that suits to the needs of my face. I hope this could help you a bit or just give you an idea on what product you may use like what I did. But I not guarantee that these products could help you instantly, it always depends on your skin's condition so better you must DYOR or read its decriptions and ingredients first before using the product.
Also, avoid fake products as they may cause your skin irritated and become worsen. Always buy to trusted and genuine shops. 😊
I avoided salty foods too.
Ps. Another product I should recommend is the **Safeguards Pink Aloe Vera**. You can find them at the nearest grocery or sari sari store near you. It is non drying and it'll make your skin smooth at the same time. For me it is 10/10 ♥.
Thank you for reading!

When Is It Not Okay To Not Be Okay
Have you watched the Binibining Pilipinas 2021? Upon watching it, there is only one question that became very interesting for me and this is the question of Mr. Boy Abunda to one of the candidates of Binibining Pilipinas 2021 last sunday, July 11, 2021 has became one of the main topics of netizens on the said competition on social media after crowning the winner. As I scroll my news feed on my facebook account, I read a lot of comments saying that the given question to the candidate was a bit hard than the other judges' questions to other candidates. Others gave their own answers and opinion, others also make fun of it and started creating a meme about it. Pilipino eh! 😁.
However, the question given by Mr.Boy Abunda is really timely and is really need to get the attentions of everyone since a lot of people are experiencing it, especially when the pandemic starts. A lot of people lost their love ones, lost their jobs, got infected by covid, lost their businesses, sold their assets just to survive in this pandemic and so on, though it's not all about the physical things we've lost, it might be getting bullied, pressure, when someone broke our heart, when we started to feel that life isn't letting us to be happy etc. Those are the factors that may affect ones mental health especially if it's not handled properly and didn't get the attention it needed in order to survive these dark times in our life.
If someone were asked me *"When is it not okay to not be okay?"*, this would be my answer.
It's not okay to not be okay once we feel in ourselves that we can't handle it by ourselves anymore. If we think that even though we have already gave or did everything that we think that could help us but still ended up with no progress at all. If we think that it is also affecting our health, our mind and emotions. It's important to always examine ourselves mentally and emotionally, if we think we are experiencing all of these we should start to consult ourselves to someone. There's nothing wrong to seek for help to our friends, family, partners, professionals etc. Their advices and presence is really important for us. As what the saying said **"No man is an Island"**, God created 7 billion people to help each other and live together. Don't ever let yourself feel that you are alone, someone is always there for you.. we are here for you :).
I've been through to this kind of battles too. I don't know how to be happy anymore during those time, sometimes I wish it was all only a dream.. that one day I will wake up and all the pain I felt was gone. But, I am so happy as I started to realized that those days actually taught me lot of things especially on how to handle my mind and emotions. Self experiences is indeed the best teacher.
♥♥♥
Mental health is a serious matter that's why it's okay to seek for help from others, it may be your parents, siblings, closest friend, your husband, your boyfriend/girlfriend, your teacher or even strangers. It's okay to show our weaknesses to them as we are only a human. A human who are experiencing ups and downs in life and a human who has a weakness point.
There is so much thing to enjoy in life, just keep in mind that we should never give up. Just like seasons, our struggles and silent battles in life are just temporary. Never let our problems defeat us because victory is an action and surrender is only a choice.
To those people who are struggling right now. Be strong, you can do it! just trust yourself ♡♡♡.
This is just a short article of mine,

My Three Fur Bestfriends
I am a parent now.
A parent of three four legged animals.
First is Mishi, she a dog. Second is Luna, a persian cat and lastly the maknae or the youngest which is Mingming.
Do you have a fur babies too? You can share them at the comment section down there! I would love to read them😁.
Can you imagine life without having a friend by your side? It's very difficult right? But having a pet is like having a bestfriend too.
It really made me wonder to whom I inherited my closeness to animals which I never saw to both of my parents that I grew up with in a same roof. Because the characteristics and the personality of a child are based on how they were raised, right?
As I remember back then, I think I was only 4 years old that time when I saw an abandoned kitten outside our compound where we're living before that is so tiny and can't barely walk due to her discharge on her eyes. I take her home with me and cleaned her body and face. Both my parents didn't agree for what I did, they always told me to let go of her because she might get poop anywhere in our house but I told them that I am the one who will responsible for everything and I still continue on taking care of her inspite of our situation with my parents on the same roof. I feed her with some of my left foods which I actually reserved for her before I eat. I imitate her meow and she always meow back at me haha. We always play together until one day, she didn't come back again. My parent's said that she might got eaten by a snake since we are near from a vacant lot which are said to be where all the caught snakes came from. I really so hard after that but few days after, one of my playmates told me he saw my cat from a street next to us. Until I figured out that my parents just took her to another place away from me so that we don't have a pet anymore.
They really hate having a pet. So why I am so opposite with them tho😅.
Let's move forward to my current pets.
Actually, I rescued one of them before and that was Mingming the youngest one. I think she is just a 2 week old that time when we found him crying in a vacant lot, wet and trembling due to rain and cold weather. We took him home again and feed him with warm milk. We thought he will going to die because he was so malnurished. I am happy to show you that this is him now! He is already a nine month old cat now and he's really playful.
He loves sleeping and biting our hands once he became very energetic after eating. He loves to play with cockroaches as well.
Secondly, this is Mishi, our dog 🐶
She is so sweet, as in sweet like she always wants you to touch her, she wants to be with me all the time, she likes to kiss us in our face, she loves sleeping beside me, she always want to play with me, she will get mad at me everytime I pretend myself on ignoring her presence etc. she is indeed a clingy dog.
And one of the best things of having a dog is you knew someone is very excited for you to comeback home. Nothing could fill the satisfaction of hugging your dog after a stressful day outside.
I always told to mishi all my problems, that's why if she could only talk... but I am contented that they're not capable to do that since she knows all my secrets and it should remain secret 😅. She loves to play with Mingming too.
Lastly is Luna.
He is actually a boy but my sister named him Luna because she thought he is a girl and we can't change his name anymore to our desired name because he is used to hear Luna everytime we call him, it would difficult for him to learn his new name anyway.
He is a persian cat, he can sleep the whole day. He is literally the unbothered king because he doesn't care at all in his surroundings once he found his perfect spot and start sleeping. One time, we saw him sleeping at the corner of our dirty keychain sleeping while the half of his body were already wet due to the water coming from the roof. He's still sleeping tho😂. He also loves to escape because he wants to go at our neighbors house who also owns a cat.
I don't care if they've done something wrong like destroying my things because I love them so much and it is normal to experience such things. What really matters is the joy they gave us every single day and most importantly is you love them and they love you too.
...
They're my stress relievers,
They're my happy pill,
They are my healers and they're my Bestfriends.
They are the most faithful person I have met in my entire life. The happiness they brought to me each day can't be measured. I love animals, they don't deserved to get hurt and to be killed. My heart really goes to these innocent animals and I love them more than human. I am very grateful because I have them especially at this time where I feel very tired and stress of becoming a human. I love them to the moon and back ♥♥♥

My First Sacrifice
These past few weeks had been very tough for me and I just want to express here what I feel right now.
To all the students out there, before you skip your class without telling it to your parents. Think twice, because not everyone has a given the chance to continue studying without any worries like yours.
｡｡
It was all started during this pandemic last year 2020. We lost our family's bussiness which is Karinderya that we've worked hard for almost 7 years. My kuya (older brother) who's an OFW just lost his job too because of pandemic and that was the biggest problem we've been facing for the whole year, but thank god we are all still healthy and still surviving each day. However, when it comes to savings we all spend it with our monthly bills, food for everyday and used it as well when my uncle rushed into hospital due to high blood pressure and now he already have a maintenance so it won't happen again on him.
I also skipped class last year due to financial problem. I am taking Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT). I was supposed to be a 3rd year student last year and incoming 4th year this next school year. It really hurts me deep inside but I am the one who volunteered myself to skip class for a while, just 1 year because I am hoping that everything will gets back to normal next year and my kuya will be able to finance me again with my tuition fees. After not enrolling for the whole year, I started to find some work or extra income online. I was really desperate each day to find anything that could help me and my family survive this pandemic.
Luckily, I found Noise.cash. It helped me to earn atleast $20-$40 a month. A gave 70% of my earnings to my parents, so that I can help my parents pay our bills and food. The remaining 30% will be going to my abra wallet where I place all my cryptos as my investment and trade some of them too for my tuition fee for the next school year because I really really want to finish my studies. That's why I always give my 100% best in school so that I can get that 25% discount in my tuition fee for becoming one of the Dean's Listers of my batch and I am very happy that I maintained myself on that list each year, 25% discount is a big help for me and for my family in financing my studies. If you are wondering why I didn't try to apply in any scholarships, I did.. I tried to apply but my requirements didn't pass. That is why I focused myself in maintaining my grades high instead and to be one of the Dean's Lister.
1 year later, I was very excited since I was hoping that I could get back to continue my studies this upcoming school year 2021-2022. I am preparing myself for the new norm of attending class which is the distance learning but all of a sudden these excitements that I felt turned into sadness when my parents told me that I am not going to study anymore because we don't have money anymore to support me in my studies and I should work instead.
I really understand my situation right now, it's just so hard and stressful for me to think that my plans for myself are started to fall apart. I always cry every day without them knowing it. But there is nothing I can do but to continue my life and accept my situation that getting that diploma is very impossible to happen for now.
But I always look for the bright side. Maybe, finishing my college was not in my fate but, I always believe that there is a rainbow after the rain. I will still give my 100% best like what I did when I was still studying to my soon to be work.
Even though this is not the way I planned my self to be, I am still grateful that my family made it to finance me until I reached my 2nd year of being college student which is half of my 4 year course. I already already learned alot from those years. If everything works well with me once I get a job and saved enough money for myself I think I should continue to pursue the one of my biggest dream in life, and that is to wear the black toga and get that diploma.

Quotes I Live By and Why
Quotes are made to remind and guide us in our life. Usually they came from a well known personalities or just came from anonymous person. Have you ever noticed atleast once in your life that when you have a certain problem, you often see quotes everywhere that is related to your current problem? Well, I always experience that.
Personally, quotes are one of my greatest escape everytime I face a certain problem, it makes me relief and gives calmness in my mind, not only in my dark times but in the bright times as well.
They are one of my best comforters by just reading them through internet. Some of them is what I really live by so here are some of my most favorite qoutes/sayings and why:
First is,
***"What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others".***
I think you're very familiar with this one. This is the **Golden Rule** from Confucius, this is what I liked the most about this famous saying because it is so powerful, I admire Confucius because of this rule of him, it really says it all when it comes to how we treat others. The first time I heard this quote was when I was in high school, we're studying about Confucius that time and also that was the time I started to apply it in my self. It simple means if we don't want to get disrespected then don't disrespect others too and I've always taught myself to follow that rule in every situations I might involve. Same as, if we want to be respected then show them how to be respectful too, if we want others to be nice at us then be nice at them, if we never wanted to get insulted by someone then don't insult someone too.
We could have an amazing world if we will only choose to be kind everyday. There's no room for immaturity, toxicity and negativity anymore. Come'on it's 2021 na. Char!
Moving forward for my second one, I don't really know where it came but after researching for its origin it says there that **Abraham Lincoln, Jewish Folklore** and **Persian Folklore** are the probable origins of this word and it is,
***"This too shall pass".***
This is the word that really helped me during my dark times, it always reminds me that it may be hurt and hard for now but this too shall pass, it reminds me that it won't always be this way. That I must not worry at all because this saying made me believe that all the pain and struggles are just temporary and will eventually fade and I should keep in mind that better days will come, I will be happy again because that's really how to live. Life will not always put us on top, sometimes we need to struggle and feel the pain of living because that is just a proof that we are a human and not a bot.
This quote really taught me a lot of things. It really improved my mind on how the way I see problems and how to handle them, not just in my problems but I am also applying this with my moments of joy in life, that nothing is permanent in this world, we must enjoy things and make the most out of it while we're still breathing, because it's one of the main purpose why we're given a chance to live in this world... and this is to enjoy it.
Lastly,
***"Look at usual things with unusual eyes".***
I see this quote from Vico Magistretti as a proof that happiness is just a state of mind. Happiness is always a choice. That's why I am always happy and grateful even at small things because I chose to, I chose to be happy and contented from it.
Thanks for reading ♥♡♥

A Letter To My Five Years Old Self
Dear five years old me,
I just want you to know that you're the most amazing people I've known in my whole life. You are one of the bravest and the kindest person in the whole world.
We are 16 years apart but until now I am still you, the type of a quiet one but a fighter inside. But the only difference from you and to me right now is, I don't get hurt anymore when someone say something bad about me. I am now no longer the little girl like you who'll just cry just because one of your classmate tease you especially if it is all about your physical appearance. I am now slowly loving the every part of my body. And I guess that is one of the best self taught that I've applied to my self.
Even though they don't see the good things from you, it doesn't matter at all. As long as you know what you really are, that's the most important thing, you don't need to prove something. Just don't mind them, it's okay to cry but use it as only way to express what you feel inside. We have our own weaknesses and it's very normal to get hurt from all their comments on you.
It's part of a human's life, it's part of living :)
But you know what? Through the years I started to love studying, going to school, spend the whole day with my closest friends and receive line of nine grades from each subjects. Probably you're wondering why I am in a different place now... It's because we just moved out when we're at our 9th age. Sorry to tell you that you also didn't had a chance to say goodbye to your 3 friends from your 4th grade which are Ericka, Micah and Jolina. Probably they were surprised when they noticed that you are no longer attending your classes. But don't worry, you'll gonna meet some amazing people to your new school and they are indeed amazing.
I am so proud of you because of your remaining years in Elementary, you showed how great you are in your class. You maintained your being the Top 1 in class for 3 consecutive school years. You are really great! Inspite of being shy and quite, you just shown them the other side of you 😊. Until you closed the chapter of your life and opened another one, the high school years. Until these years, you never failed to amaze your classmates especially when it comes to your creativity, and with that skills you should also be still kind and humble when someone asks you to draw them lol.
Again, you are so great! Up until now I still have these skills and characteristics of you. Actually until now that I am already a college student, I am still that quiet one but a fighter inside because I am still a Dean's Lister for a second time even though my classmates always tease me for being so quiet at school, but I know it's just a joke 😊 I am no longer a cry baby like you haha.
For the next 16 years of your life, you showed again the brave side of you. I just want you to know that you've fought so many silent battles in your mind but you overcome them all! I am now still as happy as you. See how you've grown successfully through the years? Though even up to this time that you still haven't own any houses or having $100,000 in your bank account, it's still an acheivement of how you've changed and improved for the next 16 years of your life. Don't worry, the $100,000 are on its way to my wallet because I'll promise to you that I will still achieve all the things that we dreamt of even before. I'll give my best again once I enter to another chapter of my life which is having a job. Even though some things seems to be very impossible but trust me :).
Also, I am now starting to invest little by little on my crypto wallet. It's one of our dream right?! To become a investor? Yay! I am now investing on it for our future. Thanks to Noise and Read for giving us the opportunity to earn even though we still don't have a job.
Again, I am so proud of you. I am looking forward for the next sixteen years of my life again so that I can give another letter to my 21 years old self as well.

Hatid sa Kabilang Buhay
Lahat ng nilikha ng diyos ay itinadhana ring mawala o humantong sa kamatayan, kahit tayo sa sarili natin ay hindi alam kung hanggang kailan lang tayo mananatiling humihinga sa mundong ibabaw sumakatuwid walang nakaka alam ng kamatayan ng bawat isa. Ngunit minsan, naisip mo na rin ba kung ano ang mangyayari kapag ikaw ay namatay?
Diyan papasok ang mga paniniwala nating mga pilipino tuwing may namatay, gaya na lamang ng pagpapagpag kapag tayo ay galing sa burol ng isang namatay, dahil pinaniniwalaang sumusunod ang kaluluwa ng namatay sa mga dumalaw at ang tanging paraan lamang nito para maitigil ay ang pagpunta pansamantala sa ibang lugar o pagpapaligo ng asin sa sarili. Pangalawa, bawal na matuluan ng ating mga luha ang salamin ng kabaong ng namatay. Pangatlo ay ang paniniwalang ang mga paro paro ang nagsisilbing kaluluwa ng namatay upang ipakita sa pamilya nito ang presensya nya, at marami pang iba.
Ilan lamang ang mga iyon sa mga paniniwala nating mga pilipino tuwing tayo ay namatayan ngunit may isa lamang rin akong tanong, Naniniwala ka ba sa sundo?
Marahil ay namatayan kana, pamilya, kaibigan o kakilala lamang. Naniniwala ka bang sinundo ang mga kaluluwa nila?
May ikekwento ako sa inyo na isang pangyayaring nagpapakita ng pagsundo sa kaluluwa ng isang taong buhay pa, ito ay galing sa aking nakatatandang kapatid at ito'y purong nangyari sa totoong buhay.
January 2014, Inalok ang aking kapatid ng isang trabaho ng kaniyang kilalang kaibigan. Tinanggap agad nya ito dahil nagkataong kailangan rin nya ng trabaho dahil kakatapos lang maitayo ng pinagtatrabuhan nya sa loob ng dalawang buwan bilang isang construction worker. Matapos tanggapin ang inalok na trabaho ay agad nya itong ipinaalam sa aming mga magulang at umayon naman sila dito. Ang ibinigay sa kaniyang trabaho ay ang pagbantay lamang sa isang matanda na kasalukuyang may sakit at ipinapagamot ng mga anak nito sa mula sa ibang bansa. Base sa kwento ng aking kapatid, wala nang kamag anak ang matanda dito sa pilipinas dahil ang lahat ng anak nya ay nakatira na sa ibang bansa at balak na rin syang kunin upang makasama ito ngunit naudlot ito nang magkasakit ang kanilang ama.
Sa mga unang araw ng pananatili ng aking kapatid sa bahay kasama ang matanda ay normal pa ang lahat, minsan ay nagkakausap pa sila ng matanda tuwing ito'y sawa na sa pakikinig sa radyo. Makalipas pa ng ilang araw napagdesisyunan ng aking kapatid na ipaalam sa mga kapatid nito na kung pwede ay magkaroon sya ng kasama sa bahay dahil sa iisa lamang sya nahihirapan sya lalo kung itatayo ang matanda o ihihiga, pumayag naman ang mga anak na magkaroon ng katuwang ang aking kapatid sa pag aalaga sa matanda kaya isanama nya ang isa nyang matalik na kaibigan sa trabahong ibinigay sa kaniya. Nang silang dalawa na ang kasama ng matanda sa bahay, dito na nagsimula ang kapansin pansin nilang pag iiba sa pag uugali ng matanda.
Minsan ay tuwing gabi, naririnig nila ang matanda mula sa kabilang kwarto na tila ay may kausap. Lumipas pa ang mga araw lumalala ang mga mga nangyayari sa matanda. Minsan ay nasuka nito ang kaniyang kinakain at pilit na sinasabi sa kapatid ko at sa kaibigan nito na may mukha ang suka niya. Parati nya itong sinasabi sa tuwing nasusuka sya na para daw na may nakatingin sa kaniyang mukha mula sa palanggana. Sa sunod na araw ay tinawag daw sila nito at pilit na sinasabing patayin ang ilaw at isarado ang mga bintana dahil sa sobrang liwanag raw ng paligid, ngunit ang ipinagtataka naman nilang dalawa ay patay naman ang ilaw at tanging liwanag lamang mula sa kanyang lamp ang nakasindi at higit sa lahat ay gabi noon ng mangyari iyon. Sa sumunod na araw ay napansin parin nila na tila may kausap ito ngunit wala naman. Kinabukasan, habang nililinis nila ang katawan ng matanda ay napansin nilang nakatitig lamang ang matanda sa bandang kusina ng bahay at walang imik, tinanong nila ito kung ano ang tinitingnan nito at sumagot ito, may mga taong nakatayo raw sa kusina nila at nakatitig rin sa kanila, hindi lamang iisang tao kundi mga lima, ang karamihan umano sa mga ito ay patay na at ang iba ang buhay pa. Nagulat silang dalawa sa sinabi ng matanda at bahagyang natakot dahil tatatlo lamang sila sa bahay na iyon. Ipinagsawalang bahala nila ito dahil mas nangibabaw sa kanila na baka ito ay naghahallucinate lamang dahil sa iniinda nitong sakit at kung ano ano na ang pumapasok sa isip nito.
Ngunit nang kinagabihan din ng araw na iyon matapos nilang kumain at pakainin ang matanda iniwan na nila ito sa kwarto nang nakabukas lamang ang pinto upang marinig agad nila kung tatawagin sila nito. Nasa kalagitnaan na ng gabi at napansin nilang wala nang naririnig na boses ng matanda o kahit na ano mang ingay mula sa kabilang kwarto kaya agad nila itong tiningnan. Nakita nila ang matanda na nakaupo sa paborito nitong upuan at wala nang buhay, tinangka pa nila itong itakbo sa ospital ngunit wala na itong pulso.
Matapos ang lahat nagdalawang isip na ang aking kapatid at kaibigan nito na hindi kaya may kinalaman ang mga sinasabi at nakikita ng matanda noong buhay pa ito sa kamatayan nito.
Wala nang mas may ikasasakit pa ang mawala ang isa sa mga taong pinaka pinahahalagahan natin. Mahirap tanggapin ngunit ganoon talaga ang buhay.
Gayunpaman, maaaring hallucination nga lang ang mga bagay na kagaya nito. Ngunit kagaya na nga lamang sa mundong ito, marami pang hindi natutuklasan at napapatunayan ang tao dahil baka ang iba rito ay mapapatunayan lamang natin kapag dumating na ang panahong iyon sa atin.
Maraming salamat sa pagbabasa kaibigan ♥♥♥

How I overcome my first heartbreak
When I was still young I always taught myself that I would never ever be fall in love with someone to the point that I would cry for him. Love for me is just a joke and I don't want to talk about it at all before. Yes, that's the kind of mentality I had when I was young.
That kind of beliefs I had was slowly changes as I get mature and get along with a lot of people in my life. School days was one of the best part of our life because this were the years where we started to get confused and try new things in life. Like what other's say, **The most happiest and unforgettable part of our life was happened during our high school to college years.**
My Junior High School to Senior years was indeed unforgettable and I really enjoyed it from the beginning up to the end. But when it comes to my experiences, my college life recorded everything from it :). Before, I don't want to get involved with someone but then, I ate all of these words of mine when I fall in love with someone who's actually my classmate.
During my first year in college, before the start of second semester to be specific. I noticed his actions towards me, he seems to be very gentleman when I am around and I also observed that he's a bit shy or torpe but after a few weeks of trying to show off his feelings to me through his little actions he finally chatted me on messenger. And the marupok side of me finally breaks from its cage lol.
Who else of you will never fall inlove with someone who always there for you to help youu even though you didn't even asked it? He helped me with the things that made him struggle too, sometimes he didn't even slept for the whole night just to help me with my projects. He always treats me some foods I really loved, he never get tired of showing his feelings to me through this actions. Though I am still aware that he will show only the good side of him because he's still courting me but I just don't know, seems like I was blind during those time and I only focused on his good sides without thinking possible things to happen. I feel very special during those times. I am genuinely happy everytime we go out and eat our favorite food at our favorite place. I feel so safe and secured and most importantly I enjoyed every minute I spent with him. Yes, I ate all the words I always told to my self before. I just fell in love with someone and I am so happy being with him.
But he was suddenly changed...
All of a sudden he just left me without any words. He never replied to my last message to him. I feel like I was left alone hanging in the air and hoping he would comeback and save me... but he never did. After ghosting me, just a few days after I saw his MyDay on facebook, a photo of a girl with a heart emoji on it. I don't know what to feel after seeing it.. All I can do was to cried the whole night but I managed my self not to reach out him of what he just did to me because I believe that he will realized these things soon and I don't want to chase or beg for someone who already left me just because he already found a new one.
The most difficult part of my situation that time was.. he's still my classmate. So it's pretty difficult for me to move on if I keep on seeing his face and his ex at our classroom. Yes, it was his ex :) **(Comeback is real sila).**
I think It took me 1 month to move on from that scenario. I was crying every night thinking of why he did that me. My world has seems to be so heavy especially my heart. I don't want to be alone because I will just think of him again and again. It really hurts me everytime I see them at our campus being together, having the most sweetest moments of their life.
He's not even approaching me anymore after what he did to me. We were back at being strangers again. I never received any "sorry" from him too and that made me get mad of him even more.
After all what happened to me, all the happy memories was all replaced by hatred. He just used me just to forget his ex...
And that hatred helped me to remove my feelings from him, to forget him too and all the memories we had as well.
I also realized that such way of moving on from him isn't really helpful at all. I realized that, it's not the hate that made me get over from him totally.. It's actually the acceptance. I taught myself to accept it with all my heart and understanding of what I am just right now, it already happened and I have nothing to do with it. My world isn't only running on him, I took it as a sign to focus on my studies instead and continue my life without him. Until one day I just woke up being genuinely happy again, I feel so free and that is one of the most satisfying feelings I've felt in my whole life.
**Even though I never received any apologies from him, time is the best healer and I already forgive him for that.**
Months passed by and we still not appoaching each other, until one day he finally did. He messaged me directly and he keeps on saying sorry for what he have done to me, for suddenly leaving me that cause me so much pain, he promised before that he will never did such things to me but he failed. He also said that they were no longer together with her ex and seems like he wants to comeback to me again but I refused. I already forgive him and I am happy now.
I have no time for playboys.
Thanks for reading! ♡♡♡

I Am a Victim of Bad Parenting
The more I become mature in life, the more I realize how bad my parents raised us. During my childhood to teen age years, I thought defending myself is bad, that it was considered as being arrogant once we defended ourselves to someone older from us. They've just taught us that we don't have the rights to disagree with them as long as we haven't helped them with our own money. I thought that the violence and hurtful words were the best and the only way to discipline a child once they've done a mistake wether it is big or small.
Sadly, I was raised that way...
Looking back at my childhood was like a nightmare. If ever someone asks me if I want to go back from the past, I would say "No" for a hundred times to them. I became more introvert because of what I've experienced from my own parents especially my father. Yes, he gave us clothes, he feed us, we're able to attend school because of his money given to us but he always counts his sacrifices to us everytime we did some mistake. Yelling at us with full of swear words and once we defend ourselves he will just start hurting us physically and will continue saying what he just wants to say without considering what we're gonna feel from those words.
He never cared for our feelings, after hurting us physically and emotionally, we have no rights to be mad at him as we are just being rude once we show it to him.
Everytime I did some mistake he always yell at me, telling me that I don't deserve to continue my college anymore and I should get a job instead, there is no good future for me to continue studying and I'll just waste his money for my tuition fees so better stop now. Really? This is the kind of parenting I was raised for 21 years.
2 1 L O N G Y E A R S...
Even to the smallest mistakes like forgetting to switch off the light in our bathroom was equivalent already to "You are so dumb!" and will followed by other swear words.
Shaming us in front of other people was one of most hated things on them. On how they just yell at us like we are just a stranger and not their son and daughter.
Getting mad at my older brother and sister for not giving him money as they have their own works with low income because they are not graduated from college for the same reason as mine.
They never supported us from the things we like. Instead they are the one who will put us down with their words.
I am so sick with this. But sometimes I just cry everything just to make myself relief again. But I don't know what to do, they are my parents.. He is my father.. There's nothing I can do about it but just to accept that I was born with this kind of parents.
However, I would never ever do the same way as what they have taught me to my future child. I will never ever shame him/her in front of others because I know whatt feels already. I will raise a child not because that I want some money from him/her once he get a job but to enjoy of having a child. I will never ever let my child experience what I've been through before.
I am still thankful for them for feeding us, raising us, giving our needs etc. but not in their way of teaching us lessons. I just realized everything as I grow older, the things I've experienced before is a big NO, TOXIC and will never be RIGHT.
***Sadly, their plan is to only have a good child but never planned how to become a good parent.***

Stop Bullying
Schools are considered to be the second home of every children, this is where we started to learn the things that is not taught to us in our home and this is where we also started to socialize and make friend with our classmates or schoolmates. Schools should have a friendly environment for every students, a school where we could also meet our second family yet some of the students all over the world are not happy with it.
It's so sad to think that a lot of students are currently experiencing this problem. Being bullied is a serious case where some of the victims of it ended up having a depression, low self-steem, low grades at school, have no friends and in the worst case is comitting suicide.
I am also a victim of bullying back when I was only 8 years old or 3rd grade. I experienced being discriminated at my own school because of my height, because I was small compared to them. I have no friends during that time that makes me a loner back then. I always cry to my mother telling her that I don't want to go to school anymore.
I actually don't know how did I passed all the subjects at that school year because all I know was my grades were already failing during that year and I don't have that will to study anymore because for me,
School was hell.
My struggles during those time has ended when we decided to move from Quezon City to Caloocan. I met new friends at my new school and they were all nice to me. I've never experienced being small at that school. All the teachers were nice and are a great teachers indeed that's why I started to enjoy being at school, being with my classmates and being myself. I become top 1 in our class and had that high honors each year. I also had a lot of friends that eventually became my best friends.
Looking back to these years just made me realized how important school for us in molding our personality. This also means,
***A flower will not grow in a place full of negativities and toxicity.***
To all the parents or soon to be parents out there,
Teach your child to be kind, treat them what they really deserves to be treated as they are still young and had no idea what is wrong and right. Show them how to respect and taught them all the good manners as they will do it to others, because the behaviour of a child reflects on how their parents raised them.
I've experienced it already and I know how hurt and hard it is. I hope someday, no one can feel the same way as mine.
STOP BULLYING 🚫
If you made it this far, thank you very much for your time😊. Spread positivity!
