Thanks To Hubbyπ
Being a mother means that all the stuff in the house especially the household chores is your responsibility to be done despite how busy you are. You are the one that needs to pursue what has been stopped. Yes, you are freed to rest because you are not a robot that doesn't get tired. You/we are just humans. We feel tired even a little thing.
As I woke up today, I decided to do our laundry it is because the sun is smiling so bright. I bought a laundry soap for our nearby store. I plan to start the laundry after I take a bath with my daughter. It's already 10 am and I still not doing the laundry because my husband and I had a light argument regarding what would be our dish for our lunch. We fight because he wants to do spearfishing so we can have a dish for our lunch for the reason that the fish today in the market is very pricey because fishermen's boats were also damaged caused by typhoon Odette. That is why the supply of fish is very limited here in our place.
I disagree with what he wants because it's so hot and I have laundry to do. I can't do the laundry if I have my daughter with me. For sure she will just play with the clothes and water and she will get wet. I don't want her to get sick.
I told him to just stay at home and take care of our child instead. But he insisted to go to the sea. I stop talking. And he did the same but he changed his clothes and walk out of our room, start his motorcycle and went to the sea without any words. So, me? I was mad. I was about to cry but I had no choice but to wait for him to go home.
While waiting, my daughter and I eat a piece of bread and crackers. Passed 11 AM, my husband has arrived from the sea. My face was smiling again when I saw that he brought a piece of 'malunggay leaf,' and 6pieces of fish. My mood was changed. From being mad to thankful because at least he has a fish as his caught for his spearfishing.
I'm with great happiness when he was also the one who cooked the fish he brought. Hahaha (happy wife here π) he cooked without any words. He was mute while cooking. And I was taking care of our child. He just talked when the food was being served already on the table. He called us to eat the food he prepare.
After we are our lunch, we went to our room to get some rest. This is our habit that every afternoon we will sleep to have some rest. It is more important to rest too also so that our baby will be practiced as grows up. This time, my husband and I now talked to each other and blamed each other who got the first temper. He added that if he didn't go to spearfishing we don't have a dish especially since our kid loves to eat "tinolang isda". It is very delicious particularly the soup itself because it's fresh. Then, I stop talking and just said " thank you" to him for making a way for us to consume fish again.
I did my laundry after we woke up. He took care of our baby while I was washing the clothes. I finished it smoothly and faster. Thanks to him. π
Closing Thought:
Now I can merely say that I am fortunate and blessed more than enough of having a husband like him because he will do everything just for has his own little family. He makes a way to make us satisfied with what we eat especially that I long a fish to eat it again. And, thanks to him that he realized it. I am proud of having him as my better half. A man like him is now rare these days. That's why I am grateful that I have him that God has given.
By the way, he doesn't have work yet as of now because he is just waiting for a call from his employer to start his new job. Supposedly, he will start last year in December but unfortunately, it was not realized because of the unexpected typhoon Odette came. His employer said that he will wait for a call for these coming days. Hopefully, good news will come next week. π
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you all. Shalom! π

Photos of Mine: Gallery Raid
*Monday up until this day, I can't think what would be the content I should write. I can't focus. I can't open up my mind. Something is bothering me these days. I am stuck in a condition of being not enough to everyone that surrounds me. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. I don't know why I'm feeling pity for myself. It may be because I'm stressed and pressured by the things that I need to do like to give the best to everyone just to be accepted and be well treated. Even if I shouldn't. Hays! But life must go on. It should never be ended just like that. Problems are normal because we are just humans. The problem is still a problem if we still think of it. Instead, we should keep going and find the solution to make out of it and be happy.*
As I read articles, it is very trending now regarding the gallery raid that somehow I enjoyed reading some of them. And it diverts my attention to what if I should try. What if I should share some with you to at least lighten up my feeling and forget the feeling I have had for a while. Since I love pictures, I decided to join them. I thank you for this prompt @meitanteikudo. It makes me gives me an idea to write about and stops me to overthink the things that are bothering me. π€
*Let's do it.!!!!!*
Oldest photo on your phone
This photo was taken in the year 2012. I was with the kiddos. They are my nieces and nephew. As far as I could remember, we were just having fun at this moment. We were waiting for the food to serve and we had no idea what to do so we took a picture and laugh after. π Ever since I was still single, I do love kids. I don't know but my heart is close to them. π
Latest photo on your phone
Hayst! Times flies quickly so fast. My babylove is a big girl now. I can't resist her cuteness to this photo. She's clever now. I asked her to please behave coz I will take a picture of her but she's too 'kulit'. Instead, she sits like this. She looks so cute and strict kind of a kid. I can't imagine that my baby girl is growing up so fast. That is why every now and then I took a picture of her just to have a remembrance. I love watching her photos from the moment she was just a newborn baby until now Hayst! I love her so much.ππ
Selfie/ Groufie
This photo was taken just this month two days after my daughter's first birthday. My husband and I decided to treat our daughter to Jollibee as she just turn one. And this is the second time she entered the Jollibee as the pandemic starts. This time kids are allowed to enter inside the store that's why we grab the chance to bring our daughter here. Bad sad to say, we were not allowed to eat inside because it's already late in the afternoon. It's getting dark. Minutes from it, they will close the store because of still not having electricity caused by the typhoon Odette. We just brought our food to the park and eat there. By the way, I was with my sister wearing a blue shirt, and my niece was at my back. My daughter was with her Papa. We were just waiting for our order to serve. So we took a groupie first. Hehehe πThis was just a simple remembrance. π
The Best photo
Becoming a mother is one of the precious things that ever happened to us. Me, as one of them, I am beyond blessed by the fact that I received the best gift ever into my life and that is having a healthy baby girl during my delivery even I went through a cesarean section. This was the best photo I can share with everyone that I am proud of. My daughter has changed me a lot. Indeed, my life changer. Also for the goals that I need to reach for my baby. She's the reason why I need to keep going in life. π
The place you have been and want to visit again
Well, I know some of you already know where is this located at. Some of you already entered this popular mall. So, this is located at the Queen City of the South which is Cebu City. The mall's name is Galleria Mall. I asked my husband to take me a picture of the largest guitar I saw in my entire life. Hahaha lol. Well, I love how it was designed. Very amazing.π± I was my husband at this time. We were just boyfriend and girlfriend here. This was the very first time that we traveled together going to Cebu City. First time together to ride a boat called ' COKALIONG'. This was also our dream to do together. Hehehe π My husband had to go there to Cebu regarding his former job. So, I decided to go with him. Fortunately, my mother approved me to go with my husband. We went there for one day only. As we arrived there early morning, we also went home right away in the evening on the same day. We were just having a quick visit roaming around the City but we enjoyed the day. I want to visit this place again and at that time, we will bring our daughter. For sure she will enjoy it here. There would be run racing inside the mall because for sure, she will keep running. Hehe
The Most Memorable Photo
When I was still a college student, I can't hide the fact it was not easy. It was not just a piece of cake. Yet, it was difficult to the truth that you should be independent and know your limits. Also, you should know the word 'focus' when you are in college because this will be the starting journey of the real career you wanted to become. So, you should be motivated to study always. You should be prepared every time you enter the classroom. But remember that you should also enjoy the moment of being a college student. You still need to relax sometimes. Feel free. And sometimes go with the flow. Just don't ever forget your goals. To your target.
As I finished my bachelor's degree, I am beyond grateful for all the support with my family for I made it. I consider this photo as one of the most memorable one because as I said, college life is not easy at all. You have lots to prioritize and consider. My family this time was always at my back that's why I owe them a lot for helping me to reach this success. Even until this time, I still didn't use my degree because I have a baby to take care of first and also COVID gives me the reason to pause for a while to my desired job to become someday. Soon, I will make use of what I had learned from my college years. Yes, not now but in perfect time. He knows when. π I just need to trust His process. ππ
*So, that would be all for my part. I enjoyed doing this. I remember the time when I was still feeling relaxed, unlike today where I need to double-time my actions to take care of my baby. I need to give my full-time attention to avoid bad things to happen. π*
*Thank you for reading and dropping by. I hope you find it enjoyable to read and you had fun. π*
*God bless you all. Shalom! π*

It's been one month!
Being one of those lives that are affected by the recent super typhoon Odette gave great memories for all of us that will never be forgotten.
**It's been one month** already that the typhoon was lent lots of remembrances that the people should be kept yet it didn't have a great memory but indeed a historical disaster that ever happened of our entire lives.
Ever since I was a kiddo, I experience various typhoons that were hit in our land but not to the extent same as typhoon Odette ever offered a great impact on us. From the start of my existence, this was the very first time that our place was ruined, damaged, and destroyed small and large things everywhere. In every corner of the place, you can see the damages caused by the typhoon most literally are the tress. Most of them were falling along the streets that all the vehicles can't pass on the highway. So that the vehicles can pass, people were helping each other to clean the area or the streets so that vehicles can pass on either. Thanks for all the helping hands. π
Some people on that day were crying for reason that their houses vanished or some had been totally damaged and some were only having partially damaged. Some were begging for help for the reason that we were running out of food. Financial aspects as well as badly needed because many jobs were affected also. In addition, people were also shocked because of what had happened. Tons of houses were out of beauty and bunches of children were totally experiencing psychological aspects because many children were in trauma up until today.
It's been one month too since we were out of electricity because of the damages. Many electric wired were cut and electric posts were down. That's why electricity can't be easily back to normal again. Days after the typhoon there were quantities of electricians who helped to fix the electric wirings. They are from our nearby province. Even up to this day, they are still sacrificing under the heat of the sun and the heavy rain just to fix everything. I salute them for their sacrifices most especially when Christmas and New year come where they need to be far from their own families just to settle everything here to give us light again and be back to normal soon. Good thing that our electricity will be back sooner one of these days. And we are still hoping and praying for that.π
When it comes to water supply, it is not that hard for us since our supply is back earlier this month. We are very much thankful that the water is back because it is extremely difficult if there is no water. We can't continue what we need to do especially in cleaning the house and the whole area. The moment that we were not yet having a water supply, we just needed to fetch water to our nearby deepwell for us to have water to drink, wash, clean, and bath. The nice thing about us is that our house is nearby to the deepwell which we had the easier way to have some water. Some people needed to ride motorcycles for them to fetch water because they were far from it and their barangay has no deepwell. Early in the morning up until afternoon the deep well is very busy. There was no time for rest. I felt pity to the deepwell that time. π But, how amazing, because the deepwell is a survivor. π
Even if we came to the point that we felt exhausted to fetch water, we need to stay strong and prolong our patience for us to have. Thank God, that earlier this month we already have a water supply. We can now wash our clothes anytime, take a bath every day with unlimited water. The good news I know just yesterday is that the water we have right now is free up until April because of the crisis we faced today. In other words, we will not be having a water bill until April. πThanks to our beloved Municipal Mayor for the announcement. π
**One month today** that we faced the big trauma in our lives that made us now braver and stronger individuals to face all over again the unexpected disaster. After all, we've been through from the typhoon Odette, we are more than thankful and blessed because we are still alive from the moment that it had happened. We are still healthy and still kicking now. We are far more favored by God because we survived. We can't thank Him enough for the goodness He has given to us such as providing and sustaining everything we need for us to abide by the beauty of life again. πΈ
We thank God for everything that we have now from the relief goods, financial assistance, and for the stronger faith. He is the reason why we need to keep going in life, to continue what we've started, and to be thankful always. There is no other name/person that should receive thankfulness but only He. ππ
*That would be all for this article. Sorry for the construction of words if messy. What I wanted to say is to share with you what I have right now in my heart. π I just can't believe that it's been one month today that the typhoon Odette was hit our place and brought us sadness on our faces yet we are beyond grateful for our good God never leaves us after all. ππ*
Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. Shalom! π

God Provides!
Typhoon Odette was not a joke. Many situations had changed. Every individual had to accept the fact that all their belongings were gone. All their favorite stuff vanished in just a snap and just a blink of an eye. Every one of us was suddenly experienced shock and the psychological aspect was being touched due to the typhoon that brought to our lives.
Up until this moment, some were didn't know where they would start and some were still blank on how they will be able to see the beauty of life again. Some of us had a hard time accepting what was lost especially when it comes to treasures. Some were still on hanging minds. I can't blame them and I shouldn't. It was a disaster. It was an incident. It was never expected to happen.
After all what we experienced, what we felt, and what we badly need, there is this one person who is extremely faithful specifically on this matter. No one will ever be like Him. No one will ever be as faithful as He is. No one is will ever be the same as Him.
This person I am about to say is the one who created the universe, and He is our **God**. Even though we are now amid disasters, He still gives what we needed. He still provides the things we needed to have to start a new one. He is still able to do marvelous things for us to magnify Him. He is still faithful and forever will be.
No matter how hard-headed we are onto Him, His love always prevails. His mercy is always visible like He used many lives to provide everything we need. He used kind-hearted people to make all things possible. He even used politicians to make all the stuff we needed will be met and we will be able to receive. He also used ministries or servants of God to expand the help for us. He even extends His mercy such as giving us financial aspects that we badly needed and He used all the people He choose to help us to rise again. He is absolutely the God we are worshiping and we are trusting. The God we are always praying to be with Him forever. π
He is indeed a powerful God. A God that uses His power to let us see on How great He is such as receiving all the things we have just to live and survive. All I can say is that He is in control. He truly exists. He is true and He is so so good. π
Therefore, I must say that even if He is also the one who makes us suffer like this, He is indeed the one who provides everything. He is the one who makes a way to make the impossible possible. How amazing He is. ππ
To God be the highest praises, glory, and honor. π
***That would be all for today. Thank you for dropping by and for reading this. God bless you, my dear sister and brother. God sees you. He is with you. π Keep praying. π***

Good News Today
*Hello, my read cash family. How are you? I just wanted to say thank you for always supporting me up until now regardless of what we encountered due to the typhoon Odette hit in our place just last year. I am very much blessed that you still stick with me up until this moment. I am so grateful and blessed with this family.*
The good news just happened today. What is it? It is that our internet connection is back to normal again. I noticed it just this afternoon when I opened my phone. The smart sim had a signal and I was like oh my, I hope that this ks true. So, immediately, I bought a load at our nearest store, and fortunately, the signal is real. I tried to open my internet data and wow, the signal is legit. Thanks to God because after almost a month that the typhoon visited us, our place has already signal. It's okay if the signal is only a smart network, as long as there is one available.
To be honest, it is very hard if the network is gone because for sure there would be no internet connection. And it is sad knowing the fact that most of our transactions nowadays are via the internet. So, we can't easily transact and do what we want on the internet if there is no signal. Even if our electricity is not yet back to normal, we are still willing to wait. We are still paying for an electric generator just to charge our mobile phones. And it is okay, we still have no choice but to accept the reality as of now. I know that all the electricity workers are doing their best now. I am praying for their safety every day. π
That's is why, at this time, I am very much happy that the network is back. I can now visit read cash anytime and communicate with another writer as well as I am back. I can presently interact with others just like I did last year.
`I just wanted to ask for an apology for not being active for the past weeks due to the typhoon that our network or signal is gone, electricity, and many more. But, that is life. We should rise and keep going. Start a new beginning and be always thankful. Everything that happened had a purpose and story to tell. God is in control. He is not blind. He sees us. He is making a way for us. We should keep praying no matter what. ππ`
Thank you, my dearest sponsors. I am back. I hope you all missed me. πLet us keep grinding especially me that I have to double my time to make up what I missed.π Hehehe lol.

My Daughter's First Birthday
Last Wednesday, January 5, 2022, was the first birthday of my firstborn baby. She just turned one. We, as her first-time parents were very much happy and grateful for the simple celebration we prepared for her and also for the whole year, after all, we had encountered. Life is still beautiful to live about.
Before the typhoon hit our place, we had a lot of things to do for her birthday to make it a memorable one. My husband and I plan to have a beach birthday party since we have a beach resort in our barangay and to accommodate the visitors with a wide and open area. Bad sad to say, we didn't make it happen because the resort vanished. All the cottages were eaten by the big waves during the typhoon Odette. The resort was turned out like a zombie place. Lots of garbages are everywhere. We were very sad upon visiting the resort after the typhoon. So, we had no choice but to change the plan. We decided instead to just hold the party in our house even our house is still recovering from the damages caused by the typhoon.
When the day has come, we had just a simple birthday celebration. We just a simple food served at the table even though we don't have roasted pig as the main dish because of the crisis we faced today. I know that for most visitors the roasted pig was one of their favorite. Lol. But it doesn't change the happiness we had on that day. What matters most was that my daughter was on her happiest day and I saw in her smiles that she enjoyed it together with her supportive cousins. I just felt the love on that day especially when my daughter received many gifts. She also received a cash gift with a total of 2,500 Php. I just THANK GOD for the unexpected presents. π
The celebration ended successfully and smoothly. Our both family sides were enormously happy and satisfied with our preparations, especially the food. All were full. All were smiling. My husband and I were highly favored and greatly blessed with what had happened on that day like having good weather even if we experienced bad weather the week before that day. Also, the water supply in our barangay was back to normal again one day before it all happened. See? God is good.
I was like beyond blessed. I am so much thankful to God for granting my prayer to give us what we want and desire. And it all happened - the good weather and the water supply. Such a joyous day in our life as first-time parents. Our happiness cant be paid for by money. Our thankfulness can't be measured. Everything we had prepared was lifted upon to God with a thankful heart. Also, for the finances, I was amazed at what God has done. We didn't expect that the financial blessings arrived before that day. We were surprised by God's provision. We can merely say that God is making a way for all the impossible things to possible ones. God is good all the time.ππ
`That would be all for today. Thank you for spending your time reading this. I am happy that you came across to read with this. You are a blessing to me and because of that, I declare abundant blessings, provision, dreams come true good health, and protection as you go through life. God bless you, my brother/sister.` ππ
To my sponsors, thank you for not leaving me despite everything. Truly, you are one to be trusted.π God bless to each of you. π

New Year, New Beginning!
**THE NEW YEAR 2022**
Every first day of the year, we celebrate a new year and it is such a happier moment to cherish. In celebrating the year, we usually prepare something delicious on the table specifically the round fruits as it symbolizes a good life ahead as the fortune-tellers said, but it is just a prediction not merely a fact. Only God knows regarding our future life. He is the only one who can tell the truth. Our life is based on His will.
As we celebrate, we always look forward to a beautiful year ahead for our lives. We try to imagine our life in the future based on what fortune-tellers say in us. And we can't hide to overthink. We can't hide to assume and imagine it would be true. But, remember that, everything is possible as long as we can still able to do those things we tried to imagine by pursuing what our hearts intention and by trying so hard and to keep going.
NEW BEGINNING
Aside from mentioned above mention, a new year symbolizes a new beginning as well. A new day to start a new life from all of the past mistakes and past decisions that fail.
Past Mistakes
All of us have past mistakes for we were not born perfect, so it's normal for us to commit wrongdoings, we can also correct it now as the new year begins. We can minimize the things we usually do to others yet we are trying to be as good as we wanted to be so that our past mistakes will never be the same all over again.
Wrong Decision
Every wrong decision that fails should be replaced by being an optimistic kind of person as the new year starts. We should be positive thinkers because being that kind of individual will lead us to well-managed life. Moreover, we should be reliable in our decisions so that in the next few days it will never turn to be just a mess. We should remember that our life situation is based on the decision we made. It is our choice. So, no matter what is the result, it is our responsibility to face it with a strong heart and mind. Good thing if the decision we made is right, but if it is not, then good luck. You should break a leg. However, everything we made has a remedy on how to solve the mess we made with of course the help of God.
These two negative vibes I mentioned, are an act where we can still have the time to improve it as the new year starts, it is never late to start a new beginning and correct those mistakes and wrong decisions that result in not-so-happy life last year 2021. There are so many ways on how to solve them. Just start it now. Just do it now. We have the free will to when we are going to do it. Remember that, we have a God who will help us to correct those. We should rely on Him. We should ask Him for guidance so that everything we do will fall into place as what we wanted to be. He is just waiting for Goshen we are free to get close to Him.
Author's Wish and Pray this year
This new year 2022, I am looking forward to a new hope to be found to each of us who are still struggling from the disaster that recently happened especially to us that is one of them. Up until this moment, we don't have still electricity and no internet connection due to no signals. I am deeply praying to God to bless us this year with an abundance of what we needed to have especially the basic ones. We are still fighting to rise again and start anew after all the hardships we encounter. I know that God sees us. I know that God has mercy on us. He is in control. There is no need to worry indeed. And I know that one day, everything we prayed and we need will just back to normal again, soon. We are hoping for that. Maybe, it will still take a month before it will be back to normal, but it is okay, as long as it will be back again. We are willing to wait as we always say to God.
***Thank you for spending your time reading this article. God bless you and a happy prosperous new year. π***
Additional Say:
I just want to apologize if I am still not so active these days for the reason that we don't still have electricity and signals that cause us not to have an internet connection in our place due to Typhoon Odette. At this time, I am here in the City just to publish this article I made from the very first day of the month in the middle of the night as we welcome the new year 2022 and I had the chance today to post this. It took me 30 minutes before I arrived here in the City despite the bad weather. π₯ Hays!!!
I promise to make up everything I missed soon if everything will be back to normal again. I do hope that you understand and consider my situation now. Thank you so much.π
Still, A Memorable Christmas After What Had Happened
Christmas, as we all know is the most awaited holiday of the year. It is the most exciting one for the reason that we will be celebrating the day of the Lord that He was born. Also, giving and receiving gifts is the main content. Santas are everywhere. Foods are variety served in the table.
In my case, my Christmas this year is not that good. Not that happy. Why,? I know that you know that our place Southern Leyte is recovering from the recent typhoon Odette which most of us here in our province experienced the worst nightmare so far.
Our house is in the process of repairing its walls and roofs caused by the typhoon. Our house itself is not that ready for the heavy rain to hit again. So, when the rain pours last December 24, 2021, to be honest, we had a sleepless night because our roofs are not new. Mostly are had holed. So, when it rains we didn't have surprised instead we prepared things to catch the leaked from the rain itself such as pales and basins.
My husband and I were in the middle of the night sleeping when the rain pours. We woke up and get the prepared things. It was very a memorable Christmas night since it happened in the middle of the night. After the rain, we just went back to bed and just talked about what had happened regarding our roofs. We laughed and just enjoy the moment.
Then we came to realize that we were still had a happy moment celebrating Christmas even it is the opposite of the real celebration. Hence, we celebrate it saw the to for the whole night. Until the morning comes, we didn't have enough sleep. But we need to get up from bed and start a new day and move on that day and embrace the day which was Christmas day with a thankful and happy heart. π
December 25, 2021.
Our day started a busier day where my husband had to help to cook a roasted pig. My husband together with the husbands of my older sisters helped each other to prepare our lunch which was to (katay the baboy) I don't know the English term. Hehehe That day had a sunny day. The sun shines so brightly for the whole day. For sure many people had a happy time celebrating Christmas because it had good weather indeed.
We had our lunch in my sister's house since she had a beautiful house from all of us her siblings. We gathered there at lunchtime. Eating together the food prepared and being served at the table. Since we had no electricity in the whole province, it does not affect the celebration because my sister had a generator to produce electricity. So, we still had a happy time on that day by playing Christmas music and we also had a video inside the house. Maybe we only had the noisiest house in the whole barangay. Lol. π We sing and dance and just enjoy Christmas. Until such time that my other sister called us because she had something for us. A simple present we received from her. My husband received an overruns shirt and I received as well sandals. My daughter received more presents than us. She received a beautiful dress from my sisters, toys, and sandals as well. I can see in her eyes that she had enjoyed her first Christmas.
Ending thoughts:
Even if our Christmas was not that merrier than others because we had just recently been hit by a typhoon, we were still able to celebrate it with a happy face. We still have a lot of memories to keep on the day. It doesn't change the fact that we are still in the midst of a crisis but at least we still give a smile to others. We are still beyond blessed and grateful that we are still alive after fighting the super typhoon Odette just a week ago.
It has indeed been a memorable Christmas for me. It was a great holiday after all the hardships we encountered last week. We are looking forward to welcoming a new year with a hopeful and thankful heart. There is not enough reason to be sad instead there are many reasons to be thankful for and that is to give glory to God in everything. He is in control. There's no need to worry. I should say that **LIFE MUST GO ON.**
Hello, my dear blessings. Thank you for always. ππ
*Thank you for reading and dropping by my virtual friends. God bless all of us. Advance a happy new year. ππ*
Typhoon Odette: badly need help
Hello, read cash family. How's your day? How's your life? How about the typhoon Odette? Does she give an advance Christmas gift in your place? Well, in my case, typhoon Odette gave the best gift she can give to our place. She didn't give less she give fully as she wanted and what makes her happy. π’
I am very sorry for being inactive for about a week already because if you heard the news, our province which is Southern Leyte was recently hit by the typhoon Odette. As you can see in the news, our province was under in calamity crisis. We need help. We need food supply because of what had happened that most of us were out of stocks. We badly needed a helping hand and a soft-hearted heart to help us to raise our daily needs.
I know most of you have already seen the news regarding the happening in our province, you can see that our place is very sad and poor due to the typhoon. Damages are everywhere. Streets were full of damaged trees and coconut trees lied down. Vehicles have a hard time passing on the street because of the trees falling along the way.
We even don't have electricity right now. We just need to pay for the charge to the nearest generator that had so that our flashlights and mobile phones will be charged. We need to pay 20php for a mobile phone every fully charged and 30php for flashlights as well.
We even don't have a signal due to electricity interruption or damage. We just need to go to the City to have some signals and connect to the internet even if it has a very weak internet connection. We need to prolong our patience so that we can communicate to our loved ones asking for help. We also need to ride for about 30 minutes away from home so that we can access everything even though it is very hot.π
Most banks are offline due to no electricity. No transactions to the offices and some stores in the City are also closed because of the damages they had as well. Grocery stores are running out of stock because people are in panic buying. House materials prices are on hike. Prices are times two from the original price because of the limited stocks. The supply is low and the demand is high, so it is no doubt that the price will be double or triple. Haist! It sucks to us. We don't know where we can find the finances to buy some house materials which we badly need because our house is also damaged. We need to repair it so that we still have a home. π₯
As I made this article, I am about to tear. I am sad and lonely knowing the fact that our Christmas will not be a merrier holiday to celebrate. The excitement was changed into sadness. The happiness was changed. Maybe, we will be celebrating Christmas with no electricity and we know that only electricity can it the happiest day because of the music it gives. Hays! It is very sad. π
Also, I am so sad because we don't have any money left for the following days. We only have $6 left in my wallet. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to borrow wherein all of us here my family is under crisis as well. They need financial as well. I feel so worried and bad. π
Now, I am knocking your heart to please help us. We don't have any food to eat for the following days because of the crisis that the typhoon gives. We didn't receive any relief goods yet and hoping that we will. π
Also, we need to repair our house caused by the typhoon. Some walls in our house were broken and some roofs flew away caused by the strong wind. I need to thick my face for you all so that I can earn some for the purposes I mentioned. This is just today, my virtual friends. I badly need your assistance for our betterment because for now, we don't have any source of income. No work is available for everyone because of the damages.
I am looking forward to this article that will help us to move forward and rise again to start a new beginning. Your help will be the reason for that and of course with the help of our God.β
We are still praying that for the following days, our life will be back to normal again. Electricity, water, and signals will be back soon.π
That would be all for today, my read cash family. Thank you in advance and God bless you all more and more. π
And I just want to inform you all that I will be inactive again for the next few days for the reason that we don't have electricity and signals yet. I just need to publish this here in the City to ask for help from you. Hoping this will be a blessing for us especially for my baby that has needs. We don't have any money left in our wallets that's why I am asking you all for help. π Thank you. π
`I wrote this article for about a week now. So, please bear with the tenses I used. I got the chance to publish this time because we are here in the city to look for an internet connection. Thank God, I found the fastest one. hank you and God bless`πππ
All photos are mine.π
I Remember The Boy, but?
Way back in my high school years, I had a boyfriend. I can say that he was one of the reasons why I missed my high school days. I can conclude that he made my high school a memorable yet painful story. π
So, here's our love story. Please bear with me.π
I was a third-year student during that time and he was a transferee student in our school. We had in the same year but different in section. He was in section A and I was in section B. At first, I didn't notice him. I even don't know that there was a transferee because I was a kinda busy student and already had a boyfriend. So, no time for a new face. Lol. π
He has a best friend where he was always with him. They were like twins because they never separated ways. They were always at their back with each other. Some students on the campus teased them that maybe one of them was gay. Students added that they were like a real couple because of their closeness but the truth was they were not a couple they were just friends. A solid kind of friendship. π
One time, this classmate of mine had a first boyfriend. She introduced the guy to us. To my surprise, the guy who was her boyfriend was the transferee student. That was the time that I noticed him. This guy is talented. He is a dancer and good in terms of drawing and lettering letters. Also, this guy, I heard a rumored that he is also smart because as I heard the news that he was good at speaking English and excel in other subjects as well.
One month after, my classmate and this transferee student broke up because the cousin of my classmate knew that she has a boyfriend and at that time, she was strictly not allowed to have one. So, that's why they broke up. π
*I broke up with my boyfriend also at that time because of some valid reason. I forgot but I think there was a third party between us. So, I was available then.*
Intramurals came.
**(This transferee student was once a contestant in a painting competition together with his best friend. They were our representatives in our year since they were good at it. )**
At this time, I already noticed him. I was even attracted to his talent. π
One time, there was a guy who came near me and ask for my name and to my surprise, this guy was him, the transferee student. π±So, I was nervous upon introducing my name. I can't hide the feeling of being flattered. I had the longest hair at that time. Everyone who saw us always teased us. They said that there will be a new love team on campus. *(I was then like the prettiest girl in the universe.) Lolπ
*
Days passed by, the transferee student always follow me, always teased me. He even gave me food to eat during break time. Most of the time, he sent a letter. His best friend was the one who brought the letter and gave it to me. In his letter, he confessed his feelings towards me. He said that he saw me inside the campus on his first week as a transferee. He added that he was attracted to the mole on my face and he also said that he love my smile. He always saw me smiling inside the campus together with my friends. So, that's were the reason why he likes me. He even doesn't have the pain when they broke up with his former girlfriend which was my friend because of me. Until one day, he wanted to talk to me in person because he wanted to express and confess his feelings personally to make it formal and for a sign of respect as well.π
In short, we talked in person and from that we became friends. He always waited for me outside our room if we were not done with our subject. Upon waiting, he had a snack to give me. Hahahaπ
Until one day, I gave him my **YES**. π We were officially a couple. Our relationship became smoother as we were already friends then. We were happy and everyone on the campus knows it that we were official. Everyone likes us. Everyone teased us. Even all the teachers inside campus already know about our relationship and they supported us and also they gave us a piece of advice as well. That's the good thing about our relationship.
Since we were not in the same section, he always waited for me outside our room as he always did when we were just friends. And because at that time, gadgets were not that trend, we only used love letters as our way of communication. We exchanged love letters every time that he was absent and me too. Every day, I received a cute love letter from him. That made our relationship deeper and stronger. We were beyond happy.π
The sad thing was that our relationship was just secret when it comes to my family. I was also prohibited to have a boyfriend at that time because I was too young. π but because we were good at keeping secrets, we lasted our relationship for one year and two months. ππ
Unexpected Scenario happened
Part 2 will be published tomorrow. Sorry if hanging. πβ
Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. π
Thank you as always my dear sponsors for supporting me since then. God bless each of you. More BCH to come.π

My Happy Sunday: Late Pub.
*It's another day to spend our life with. A life that is full of surprises that we never imagine will happen. A life that is full of blessings that God has shown upon us. His goodness is always running after us. π*

`Hello, my fellow readers and earners her in this community? How's your Sunday went? Was the day spent so well? My Sunday went okay. I spent the whole day taking care of my daughter as she is learning how to walk. Most of the time, I felt tired but I am a mother. I have to prolong my patience because she deserves it. And I am willing to endure the pain and the exhaustion every day. Pain in my back as I am always with her to walk. Exhaustion because I am the only one who will make it to the extent when it comes to taking care of her. Of course, I am her mother. I should be the one who will make it. π`
My beloved sponsorsπ. I'd like to say thank you to miss @Sequoia for renewing her sponsorship. God bless you more sis. More bch to hold. π
Yesterday was Sunday and it is one of the best days of the week. It is my favorite day because we will spend our day worshipping and thanking God for all He has done for us. Also, Sunday is for family. Most people spent their Sunday together with their family. Having fun and enjoying the moment. Some are hanging out. Some are taking swimming on the beach. And some are doing shopping in the mall. We have different ways on how to spend the day. We have various ideas on how to spend it memorably.
Well, on my part, my Sunday when so happy. I spent it with my family, especially with my sisters and mother. Every Sunday, we are always gathered together in the house of my sister. We spent it by exchanging random "chikka" while preparing the snacks to eat. My older sister cooks a "puto cheese" for us to have something to eat while having fun.
This is one of my favorite snacks. So yummy, fluffy, and delicious. I ate for I think 6pcs. Hehe πI can't resist. My diet is always backstage when this kind of food is being served. Lol.π
As we eat this, we decided to sell it this Christmas because my "Ate " is an expert in cooking and baking. So, we posted this on Facebook and hoped somebody will order. For sure, they will not regret it. But if there is no order, it is okay. Our mouths are always ready.π
At around 5 pm, we decided to go home. After my husband cooked for our dinner, he asked me if I wanted to stroll around in our town plaza as the Christmas lights were already lit up. I responded it "yes of course,". Right away, we went to the town plaza and watched the Christmas lights. Our daughter likes it. She appreciated the vibrant colors and smile.
I can see in her eyes that she enjoyed the moment especially when she saw the Christmas lights for the first time as she will be celebrating her first Christmas this year. Me, as a mother, I felt the happiness inside me. I enjoyed watching her smiling looking at the lights. Unfathomable feeling indeed. π
Ending Thoughts:
Spending Sunday is one of my favorite. It made my day especially when I spent it with my family. Every time Sunday comes, I am always excited about what will happen next after the mass. I always look forward to happiness at the end of the day. π
PS. βπ
Hello, read cash family, sorry for being inactive yesterday. I was busy preparing my husband's medical as requirements for his new coming job. I need to go with him to support and help him to where he should go. Also, I am the one as a front liner for both of us. Hehe π That's why I go with him. π So, please consider my absence yesterday. I will try my best to make it up today and for the next more days. π
Thank you and God bless us all. π

Biggest Sale of the Year: Christmas Time
Hello, good day ahead my fellow readers and writers here in this community. I would like to say a "blessed Sunday " to all of us. Such a wonderful day to start with. π
Feel free to read their works. They are all amazing. No joke. π
12.25
The most awaited digits of the year. Hehe, why? Because it's all about Christmas. And we all know that Christmas is the best holiday season of the year. Our favorite holiday. In fact, a few days from now, it's Christmas time already and we can't resist. When we say Christmas, we are all excited to receive some presents because as we all know this season is about giving and receiving as well. But, that's not that it includes forgiving and accepting. Forgiving from the past mistakes that should be tolerated by many. Moreover, accepting the forgiveness that is being said from someone. For me, that would be the best essence for Christmas. But most all, love should be the highlight. π
Anyway, I am so excited to celebrate it because this would be a great and the happiest year for our family. After all, we will celebrate it as a complete family. My sisters from Manila are already home and they choose to spend their holiday with us rather than their own family. But of course, we are their first family and our mother is still alive that's why we wanted to spend it together with our beloved mother as she is still strong and still kicking. Lol. π just kidding. π
12.12
These digits as well are most waited especially to the shoppers in the shop app. I know that most online shoppers already know this **biggest sale of the year.** The biggest discounts are being offered and I know that some of you already had shopped and had visited the most trusted shop in the app. π Please, avoid all scammers because they are everywhere looking for a victim. A sad reality. Choose the most legit one. π
On my part since my baby's first birthday is fast approaching and I can't wait to celebrate it for the first time. The excitement, stress, and pressure are there and I can't hide that. Excitement for the reason that I will be able to experience my very own child celebrating her first year of existence on earth. Stress, when we talk about the preparation itself Why? Because there are lots of things that should be prepared and ready to make everyone happy and satisfied. But the stressful part is when it comes to money on how to budget the small amount that we already have. π Pressure, why, because our both families would come for sure and j know that there will always be a comparison from the other celebration they had attended before my baby's party.
But, I don't need those negative thoughts this time, it should be possible. Hoping and still praying that all my plans will be realized soon through God's provision. π
Speaking of preparation, I already ordered other things to have at the party. And because it's the biggest sale of the year, I ordered them. Here are my orders. I just ordered this just this time. I woke up at 1 am just to visit the app to look for the legit store for this stuff. Thankfully I found it. ππ
I order this stuff as early as today so that this will arrive before the birthday. I ordered these because I don't have anything from them. Also, the price is cheaper than here in our stores in the City. Plus, the shipping fee has a bigger discount. Feeling happy. π
As you can see there's a cocomelon character balloon it is because the theme of the birthday is cocomelon for the reason that my baby loves coco melon. She loves the music and the vibes it gives. That's why I grant her likes because I love her. That should be a mother. A mother's love always prevails. π
In addition, I ordered also a KN94 face mask because it's at the lowest price. I grab the chance to buy. π
But these facemasks are not intended only for me but I plan to sell them. Hehehe π
because these kinds of facemask are best sellers here in our place. I would love to sell them too but it is not sold, then I will use them anyway. π
That would be all. Thank you for reading and dropping by. I hope you enjoy it reading. Hehehe π
God bless us all. Keep safe. Shalom!π

Treat or Save?
The month of December is about giving. It is about sharing some of the blessings you receive from God for the whole year. And it is not bad, yet is the better way we can do for our loved ones. In my part, if I really have a lot of money, I will not hesitate to share everything I want. I will not doubt to lend a hand especially this Christmas. To be honest, it is one of my greatest desire to share some stuff, especially with my family. But sad to say, I can't at this time because I am still unemployed. No bonus receives. Lolπ I will try my best next year in God's willing. We don't know what if I will be hired soon.π I am still praying for that. π
Thank you as always my blessings for always supporting me especially to @Mazekin for renewing. God bless you all more and more. π
`Treat or Save?`
I will state first the reason for the word ****Treat.****
Since it's Christmas time, I have this desire to treat myself for I overcome the stress I encountered many times in my life this year most especially when I just gave birth this year in January. I wanted to buy the things I wanted to have such as trendy dresses for me to wear this coming Christmas Eve, doll shoes as a partner to the dress, and T-shirts for everyday use. Ukay2x is enough for me.π I also wanted to go to the salon and make myself prettiest. Hahahaπ I think I deserve it after all the hard works I made. I think I am not that "feeling rich" because I just wanted to pamper myself. And it's not bad at all. Right? But sad to say my money is not enough. Well, to be honest, I have money. I earn it from this community. I work hard for this but I have this doubts to spent it because this money has another purpose to spend it. I save it for a reason.
The second word is ****Save.****
Well, this money I have right now is intended for the upcoming first birthday of my little one next year, January 5 to be exact. I save it since the day I started on this platform. I have a lot of plans to be done for my baby's birthday celebration. I have a lot of things to buy first like the decorations such as balloons, loot bags (but I can make it through DIY), and souvenirs. Moreover, for the foods, we need to prepare because we are expecting both families to come and celebrate with us. So, that is why we need to have enough finances for her birthday.
Actually, I am not aiming for an expensive birthday party because in the first place I can't afford it now for the reason that my husband had just stopped working from his recent job due to insufficient funds to continue. (*I already shared the story behind it entitled* *****"A New Door Has Open for my Husband".***** *Feel free to read it. )π*
Also, as his wife, partner, and mother, I don't have any work. I can't sustain to the extent of what we wanted for the birthday celebration. Even if we want to, but our wallet just says it already that we can't. That's why I don't push myself to have a costly party. I just want a simple and memorable one. In addition, we are still amid crisis, so, we still have the excuse to say. Lol. π
Therefore, for now, we just wanted to have a simple celebration. Most importantly our both families will be satisfied and happy. π
At this moment, I am still in turmoil about whether I will treat myself or just save it for my baby. Maybe I will choose for my daughter's happiness rather than mine. Even if I want to. π© This is called a mother's love. π
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom. !
`To my upvoters and commenters, a huge thank you to all of you. You made me this far.π`

2 Celebrants in 1 day: food is real!
Hello, read cash family. How are you? I am very sorry for being absent for three days because I was busy then. The reason was, last 2 days December 8, 2021, my older sister and her two kids came home from Manila and I was busy then welcome her and had "Chika overload" right away. They chose to spend their Christmas with us here in our province since it's already 2 years since they had their last vacation. It was the year 2019. It was my wedding day. This Christmas, we will be able to celebrate it as a complete family because our eldest sister as well will going to spend her Christmas also with us. I am excited. π we were very much glad that our LGU released a new executive order that those newly arrived home from other places, don't need to do a quarantine as long as they are fully vaccinated and had no symptoms. They are free to stroll around the place. ππ
The other reason also why I was inactive is because my daughter who is 11months old knows already how to walk and I can't just sit and just look at her. Since I am the mother, I have to guide her in her steps also, I need to watch for everything she picks up to avoid incidents especially the tiny things because what if she accidentally swallow it and choked. So, I need to double my assistance just for her. And in the evening, I felt tired of what I did for the whole day for my daughter, so I rested earlier around 8 p.m. I am already asleep at that time. So, please understand me and I thank you for that. ππ So much for that. I am about to start the main content which is obviously on the title itself. Lol. π
***December 8, 2021, the two celebrants celebrate their natal day on the same day. ππ***
The first person is my sweet and smart niece. She just turned 4 years old at that time. Her theme for her birthday was a mermaid because she loves swimming and also I think she loves mermaids too even if I don't believe in mermaids. Hahaha, I don't think so if they truly exist. Heheheπ
The celebration went very well. The superb food was so much enough for all of us her family both sides. (By the way, the celebrant is the daughter of my brother. Thanks to God that he was able to celebrate with her daughter as he is a seaman. And we all know that few seafarers only can have the time to celebrate and witness their family's milestones every year. So, it happened that my brother was able to do so. It was a favor from God. π)
The birthday was held on a very well-known tourist spot in our Locality which is called "**BANAHAW SPRING RESORT". (***It took 15 minutes ride only from our house.)*
As you can see, the water is very peaceful and clear. Well clean. The water there is cold. If you are about to dip in the water, don't get surprised if you react at first but in the long run, you will enjoy it later. π
We have extremely enjoyed the party. It went so satisfactorily for all of us there. Our tummies were full of the foods prepared by the family and the swimming time was so much fun even in the afternoon the rain pours. But, the rain didn't stop our enjoyment.π We went home about 4 pm. π
The second person who celebrates her natal day was the niece of my husband who just turned 10 years old that day. The celebration was held only at their residence.
After we celebrated my niece's birthday, we head to the place of my husband where the other celebration was happening. It took only 5 minutes from the BANAHAW SPRING. It's just a neighbor barangay, so that's why we arrived there earlier than the call time. Hehe.
As we were there, we were welcomed by the celebrant's family and took away my daughter since they saw her seldom only. So, they were happy to see my daughter. Good thing that my baby is friendly. She doesn't cry even if she saw them once in a Blue Moon only. Lol π
All the senior citizens there as her Lolo's and Lola's were extremely happy seeing my daughter. They had so much fun. π
We took our early dinner for the reason that it had bad weather. The food was heavy as well. Our tummies were full again. Lolπ
The sad part that time was that we need to go home even if it rains. But we waited for the rain to stop at some moment and start traveling head to our house. We need to travel for 15 - 20 minutes since we only used a motorcycle. Thanks to God also that the rain stops. As we started traveling, we need to stop at some corner to find a shade to drop by because the rain pours again and my daughter was with me. I carried her while holding the umbrella. Hays π. It's really difficult to travel if you have a baby with you especially if it rains. But then, we need to go home. We need to rest for we were already tired as well. We safely arrived home at 8 pm. Thanks to God for the protection and safety. π
Ending thoughts:
It's been a long day with us together with my husband because of the happenings of the day. We celebrated the two celebrants as a sign of respect and because we love them as well. So, even if our body was tired that day, we had a good time. The happiness we felt during that time was priceless. It can't be bought anywhere. π
That would be all I can share. Please do excuse my English construction because I wrote this at dawn today. π I am still sleepy especially since it rains all over again. π
Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom! ππ

The Best Gift is You.
`Hello, readers. How's the start of December? Is everyone has already a presents for their loved ones? How about you? Remember that, we deserve a reward, a treat after all that we've been through this whole year. We deserve something to have this Christmas. A simple gift is enough. π`
Thank you my dearest blessings. π
We all know that 18 days from now it's the Christmas holiday. I hope and pray that we will celebrate this year Christmas with great joy and unending Thanksgiving to God for He deserves it. He makes all things bright and beautiful from the dark days we encountered just this year. I pray also that we will be able to celebrate this coming holiday with good health even if the virus is still roaming around looking for another victim. π
But we are done with that. We see in full confidence now because of the remedy that we took which is the vaccine. Thanks to God for the solution. π
This is the first-ever Christmas that we celebrate with my daughter. Last year, I was still pregnant. Now, that she has arrived, we will be able to celebrate it as family. I am much excited to rejoice in this holiday that our daughter will be going to witness the essence of Christmas now. She will be able to see the Christmas lights everywhere. I am excited also that any time from now, she will receive gifts from the people around her. I am much happier seeing her happy with her presents soon. π
But in my part this Christmas, I am contented and satisfied that she is healthy and happy. As long as she is in good condition. I am okay with that. I don't wish for somebody to give me some wrap gifts this season, it's fine with me if my baby is well and delighted. I don't ask for more this Christmas, but only good health to my whole family especially to my lovely daughter. It is the best give that I am going to receive this Christmas and I am still praying for that now. π
It is okay if you will say or call me that I am overacting or whatever. What I know deep in my heart, the truth within me is that I am okay, 100%, regarding my baby's health. For me, I am more blessed with that. I don't know but as a first-time mom, this is sufficient. This is more than enough seeing my baby happy, healthy, and far from any danger.
Closing thoughts:
As a mother, I am always rooting for my baby's sake rather than mine. It is okay with me if I don't receive anything for this Christmas as long as my baby is fine and healthier. But if someone insists to give me some, then I will still receive it anyway. It is a blessing. π
That would be all for today. Sorry if my content is boring. I just want to express what I felt at this moment because just this morning, I saw some people who received already presents from their loved ones. And I come to realize that for me, it is okay if I don't have something as long as my baby does have. This measures a mother's love for her kid/s.
Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom! ππ

A New Door Has Open For My Husband: Last Part
Hello, everyone. This is the last part about my husband's job journey. I am hoping that you are still eager and still have the interest to read this. Promise last na to.π
Thank you as always, beautiful and generous souls. πππ
The reason for all of us why we've been suffered from the crisis is because of the virus. So, every establishment, known company, and even government officials have been affected as well. As I said, no one is excused.
It was this year in October when my husband received a call from their head office telling the sad news. The HR in charge called him telling him that their company is slowly facing bankruptcy. Their collectible will not be sufficient for the expenses, financial aspects, and most of all for the employee's salary. So, HR advised that they had to schedule their duty. Every other day they had to go to their job. Unlike before, every day they had a duty. She also added that the head office will not be able to support them financially such as paying their benefits like SSS, PhilHealth, and PAG-IBIG. In other words, it is in their branch who will shoulder and pay everything from their daily collections. The sad part was that their branch also where my husband was the manager was facing hardships.
This time my husband is stressed, problematic, and worried. It took only one month regarding their duty but the sad truth also was that their daily collectibles were longer not enough to pay regarding their benefits and endurance for the reason that they cannot force their customer to pay their loans as they as well have been affected, their income to be exact. My husband had to plan and budget those collections for their salary but in the end, it wasn't enough.
One day my husband call a meeting for them his employees telling them the truth. His fellow workers understand the situation. Understand the happenings. Until such time, my husband had to decide whether their branch will continue the operation or just close it instead. But in the end, my husband decided to close the branch due to insufficient collectibles. They had no choice but to accept the offer because if they will continue the operation, the branch will not be able to survive. So, my husband's employees submit a resignation letter the next day. Such a painful situation but they had no choice but to obtain and had the freedom to start a new one in their ways and find another job or opportunity for them to live. The hardest part also was that it is very difficult to find another job. Haist. It really sucks especially to us that we have a baby to raise. But we don't lose hope. We hope for a better day to come.
November 2021 this year, their branch was officially closed. All the things and stuff inside their office were sold to pay the office rent, electric bill, and water bill, and some were brought here in our house as remembrance such as 1 computer set, 2 office tables, and office supplies.
It was such a difficult time for my husband. He was the one who hurt the most because he work for it for 7 seven years and because this crisis happen due to the pandemic his job is officially gone in just a blink of an eye. A sad reality. π©
This end is a job from the Lending Company for seven years. Still grateful after all. π
New Opportunity Arise
November 2021, my husband has no work. Has no source of income due to what happened. And because our God is so good, God sent a temporary source of everything we need for our daily it is when my older sister decided that they had to open a milk tea business here in our place. My sister offers my husband to work for it as an assistant worker. Also, my sister bought a table, chairs, and table counter for the cashier from the office of my husband. Upon hearing the news, my husband didn't doubt it. He grabbed and worked for 1 month. He had paid weekly. So, still, we can sustain our baby's needs, and also this platform helps a lot. Thanks to God for his goodness. π
Just last week new news has arrived for my husband. Somebody called him. His old close friend offers him a job from his work where he is the manager. My husband didn't decline the offer. He went right away to the office to have some orientation and accept the lists of requirements such as medical, NBI, and more. (*We went to the city just yesterday to comply some )*
I and my husband are beyond grateful for what had happened because there is this new door has opened for him. It is indeed true that when the door had closed, there is another door that will open. I strongly agree with it because now if my husband is done regarding his requirements, he will start right away anytime from now.
Ending thoughts:
For all the difficulties and hardships we encounter in the past few days, we should not lose hope instead we should be optimistic that there is still a way for everything. For what we desire and long for. We should stand still and look for a new one as a new starting of another chapter of our lives. New opportunity, a new door has open is another story to tell. And we should be thankful to God for He didn't leave us, instead, He makes a way for us. He is so so so good.ππ
This is now the ending of my husband's story regarding his current job. I must say "THANK YOU" everyone for reading this from part until this one. You are still willing to wait for this. Sorry for being late I was busy yesterday and I rested earlier last night. Once again thank you so much. πππππ

A New Door Has Open For My Husband: Part 2
Hello, everyone. This is the continuation of the story regarding my husband's journey from his job. Just bear with me. Hoping you still appreciate whatever the journey happened this time. Let us start.
***Hello, my blessings. Thank you for supporting me until this time. God bless you all, beautiful souls. Lovelovelove...***
In the year 2018, my boyfriend and I decided to tie the knot. This year happened the proposal. At that time I was the prettiest woman in the universe. lol. I can't hide the happiness and joy I felt during that time. It all happened inside the Robinson Mall. hahaha *(I will share with you these coming days what happened on our engagement day)* December 2019 our church wedding happened. We were both happy because finally we were united as one as husband and wife. We were enjoying the moment like visiting other places, we dated to some known restaurants in our City, and hanging out with friends. It was all went very well. It was still a normal day for all of us. Until such time, the year 2020 came with an unexpected scenario happened. At first, we embrace the new year with great joy and unending thanksgiving to God. We were beyond grateful because God gave us another year to enjoy life.
My husband that time in his work was still in progress. Everything was still on the right track such as the daily collections of money were still increasing. Still rising. Their main office was found in Davao City still monitored them. Still in good provision where they were still supplied and provided everything their branch needed. Their communication was still open and their reports were still updated on time.
March 2020 when COVID-19 hit all over the Philippines. The pandemic started to boom to everyone. Many companies have been temporarily closed due to the protocol from the government. Establishments all over the nation were forcedly closed and we had no choice but to accept because that was ordered by our President Duterte. The purpose why it was ordered was because the virus was slowly affected a group of people. Some were already had suffered from the virus and some were already dead. It was indeed an unexpected situation that many people had a hard time adjusting especially those people who were discharged from their job. Many employees became miserable, became sad about the happenings. hay. such a sad truth.
Moreover, in just a blink of an eye, it went differently. It went not good. My husband has to follow the government's protocol which is to shut down their branch as ordered also from their main office. The sad reality also was that they had no salary to receive at that time the reason was that they had no collectibles to remit, as they said. A very disappointing situation from their head office. I can't help but accept it. My husband had to accept the order from their company and just find ways here in our place as a term to survive. I don't know but for me, it was unfair. My husband and his people under him had done so well. They did their job responsibly but in the end, they were the ones who had no reward to have after all. Such a very disgusting feeling.
It took two months before they finally back to their work. It was June 2020 when they went head back to their job. At first, they had a difficult time starting a new one because the virus is still seeking another victim. My husband and his fellow workers had to adjust also especially inside their office where they need to put a sanitation area because it was also a protocol. They had to distance themselves from each other and wear facemasks now and then. When it comes also to their job and their duty, they had to adjust as well because their customers were slowly fading or shall I say slowly had no money to pay their loans. Their customers as well facing hardships and have been affected due to the virus. Their little way of source of income was casually decreasing until one day they had to stop paying their loans due to no income after all. Their customer says apology of what had happened.
My husband had to accept the sad truth because he understands the situation. He cannot force their customers to pay their loans because they have also been affected. Well, all of us have been affected. No one was excused. Everyone was being affected, everyone suffered.
The year 2020 ended still with thanksgiving because they survived. Their company still supplied the needs for their family. And me that year was pregnant. It was June also when we found out that I was pregnant. So, my husband had to do his job double time or do his job so hard so that we can save money for the coming of our baby's arrival. Thanks to God because we were were able to have financial aspects during my pregnancy and able to pay bills.
We welcomed the year 2021 filled with a joyful heart knowing the fact that my husband's job is still on track. Still in progress. Not to the extent but still able to sustain our daily needs. Ber months came this year, the unexpected news we heard. We became weak and sad at the same time. Worries are everywhere. Doubts and scared exist.
The next happenings will be continued the next day. I hope that you will stay willing to wait. Part 3 will be full of tears, hope, joy, and blessing.
Thank you for reading and dropping by my readers, upvoters, sponsor, and commenters. You made me feel valued and special every time you spent your time with me. :)
God Bless us all. Shalom!

4Months Loving Here and It's Worth It!
hello, read family. How's your day? Is everyone doing good despite the bad weather today? It's cloudy here in our place the reason why I can't do my laundry but it's okay there is still tomorrow. hehehehe :)
Today I will just share with you how I started this platform and how it become part of my routine and how it really works like me as a parent. Let's start.
One day afternoon in August, I was just scrolling up and down in my Facebook account watching funny videos to ease the stress. hehe then suddenly, my college bestie @Yzza0625 chatted with me and introduced me to this platform. She proposed and encouraged me to try it. She also shared with me our common friend that already reached 1BCH here and now starting to build her own house. With that, I felt revitalized and log in right away to it. I registered my profile name and started to browse to familiarize the settings.
At first, I was in doubt due to the reason that I am not good at writing. My vocabulary is just limited. With all honesty, I am not a bookworm kind of person as well, that is why I doubted myself to try. But because I wanted to try it even once, I adapted to the new environment I am into. I read various articles that have different contents and diverse ways of sharing their thoughts. As I read each article, I was amazed by their works. I learned a lot through reading their outputs and realizations predominate.
After three weeks of staying, I decided to write my piece and published it that day. My ever first published article was entitled ****My Beautiful Scar Journey.**** It was all about my pregnancy and what had happened during my labor. (feel free to read :)) That time, Rusty didn't notice me. But then, I continue. I write again and published my second article entitled ****My Supportive Family.**** It was all about my family where they are always at my back supporting me along with my dream. My third was ****A Dream To Call Our Own****. It was all about our dream house. Rusty still didn't notice me. That time, I felt a little bit discouraged and confused. But then again, I keep going. I keep writing for the fourth time entitled ****Never Give Up, Keep Going.**** It was all about my failure when I took my first board exam. Surprisingly and finally, Rusty noticed me. I was shouting for joy at that time. I was the happiest person that night. My heartbeat was fast because of the happiness I felt. Then, I told my husband that this platform is legit because at first, he thought that it was a scam. lol. Rusty tipped me for the first time a $1.15. Even if it wasn't a bigger tip than others, I was still jumping for joy for the fact that Rusty is the known person who will tip you any amount from the moment that he noticed you until the present. He is the most generous person here on this platform. Fortunately, he noticed me. Thanks to God. Who will give you that amount nowadays? There is none, right?
With that, up until now, I am still active here in the sense that this platform is indeed a blessing in disguise because it helps a lot especially a mother or parents like me where we can buy the essential things in our family through the earnings we earn from here. Most especially that most of us experienced a crisis due to pandemics caused by COVID. We are still grateful and beyond blessed that we found this family. This is the other way to sustain our daily needs to survive.
Therefore, four months staying here is worth it. I am loving the atmosphere, the environment, and even the people here. My time spent here reading, upvoting, sponsoring, and interacting is never a waste of time. Hence, it is just a payback for all the blessings I received from the very start of my journey. I am still hoping and praying that this platform will continue to be a blessing to others and will last a lifetime if it can. hehe :) For sure, many members here will look forward as much as I want to. God only knows.
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us. Shalom!

A New Door Has Open for my Husband!

It's the 2nd day of December, how are you my fellow writers and earners here? How's the start of your day? I, my day is totally fine because God allows me to wake up again to see the beauty of life all over again. Such a blessing and blessed enough that I made it.π
My content for today is all about my husband's new opportunity. New blessings have just come unexpectedly. But before I will let out regarding the new opportunity, let me share with you what was his prior battle before having this new blessing. π
Backward............ Storytelling......... π
In the year 2013, my boyfriend (husband now) got his first job in our City. He was a field collector in a certain Lending Company. At that time, the lending company is famous where many job seekers are eager to work for it. Most of them are men since it is a field kind of work.
*If you don't know what is a lending company yet, it is where you can ask or borrow the exact amount of money and has to be paid back with an interest.*
Since my husband was a field collector, he will collect the paid back money daily. He was assigned to a particular place where he will look for the customer so that he has a collection on that day because they were obliged to do so and should collect some. It was his routine every day since the very first day of his job.
We were just boyfriend and girlfriend during that time. Me as his lover, I can't deny that I felt scared because he was exposed to the outside environment and every day he has to ride his motorcycle just to do his job. I'm afraid what if he will get into an accident along the way.π
So, what I did was to ask for a favor from God. I asked Him to promote my boyfriend (husband now) so that he will just stay inside the office to do the paper works only. No more outside jobs anymore. π
Three years had passed, in the year 2016, my prayer had been answered by God. My boyfriend (husband now) got promoted into an officer-in-charge or OIC unexpectedly. He was directly pointed as new OIC because the manager at that time has done wrong from the company the reason she was kicked out. She was 15 years already in her position but sad to say, she wasn't able to continue for some valid justifications. That is why my boyfriend (husband now) has been promoted to manager or OIC. He was also the best employee at that time. So, no doubt that the promotion was deserved for him. π
Me, as his girlfriend at that time was enormously happy upon hearing the news. I was on cloud nine because finally, he will not going to do the work in the field. I thanked God so much for answering my request.π
As he reigns as a manager or OIC on their branch, it was not easy at all. He faced lots of problems, stress, and trials. Burdens he tried to lift. He managed his employees with difficulties because he was too kind to them. He was not strict and he was the kindest boss I know. That's why sometimes his people under him didn't respect him. They come late and sometimes they will go home earlier than the usual time. And my boyfriend is okay with that as long as they are done with their task and responsibilities. There are times that my boyfriend (husband now)will be left alone in the office for overtime because there are reports that needed to be done that day. He was such a good boss. No stress at all. π
That would be all for now because my bay is already woke up. I have to take care of her first. She wanted to practice walking around our place or area. So please bear with me for the second part. I hope so. Hehehe π
Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us, shalom! π
Thank you my beloved and generous sponsors especially to ma'am @Theblackdollck as the newest member of my blessings. Thank you so dearly. ππ God bless you all. π
New Month, Last Month!
How are you my fellow earners and writers here? How's the start of your month? Is everything okay? I hope so well.
Today, it's another new month has just started yet the last month of the year and we are excited because Christmas is indeed coming in a few days from now. Giving is everywhere. Christmas lights have started to light up in every corner of the streets, parks, and houses. We are astonished by the lights. It gives colors and beauty this coming holiday season.
So, now since it's a new month, certain things happened. Every now and then new circumstances occur in our lives and we can't hide them but be grateful. So, these are π
New Beginning
A new beginning from the past happenings that we can't hold back the next days. It is such a good thing to start a new one and moves forward with something new. It's never too late to correct what was done before and do what makes it better. π
New Hope
A new hope where we became hopeless from the past days for some valid reasons. Hopeless in terms of achieving one set goal yet our dreams will never be just a dream if we still hold for hope and expect something good to see the beauty of the future lies ahead. π
New Opportunity
Well, this is such a nice start to the month. Even if we are amidst these changing times. There are still doors that will surely open to having a new spirit to conquer the hardships of life. God will never let us down. He always finds a way to make a difference. Let's grab any opportunity to set in this month. π
New Blessing
It's such a fabulous feeling to receive something new that God has given to us. He never fails to give wonderful blessings in our lives. And we should be grateful for that because we know that blessings are always there for us. A new blessing means a new life. Let's embrace every little and big blessings that comes our way. Not all people are blessed enough to receive one. So, be thankful if you have one. π
I am hoping and praying that this month, our expectations will gradually meet. Our desire will be granted. Our prayers will be answered through the help of God's mercy and love. I am also praying that this new and last month, our lives will be filled with so much happiness, smiles on our faces since Christmas is coming, peaceful life, and a grateful heart. Let us start to take up these positive attitudes so that by next year we will not be able to get negative consequences that will ever arise unexpectedly. Let us start with a happy heart and a beautiful smile. ππ
I wrote this article yesterday but I wasn't able to publish it because my body was found tired. I slept earlier. I need to rest. So, let me use yesterday's date even I published it today. π
Thank you for reading and dropping by. I hope I give you sufficient learning regarding this content. God bless us all. Shalom! π

How's My November? (Let's See)
Hello, good evening my fellow earners and writers. A pleasant evening to those who know me in person and know me virtually through this platform. π How was your November went? How's the progress? Is there any achievement? Did you hit your target? Well, if that is so, let us be thankful to God for He blessed us with this. π
I've been almost 4months here in this platform. I am happy that I belong here because the people here are amazing. Friendly and approachable. I am still amazed each day especially when there is any progress in our works. It is such an extraordinary feeling when you receive an unexpected blessing from your friends here most particularly from Rusty. He is the awaited visitor here because he brought us happy every time we see his name on our notification list. We can't hide smiling upon reading and receiving his gift. π
Now, that it's the last day of November, it is about again to share any progress from the past months if there is any betterment today. This time I will share with you my achievement. Excuse me to those who are well blessed and well hit the target. Audible applause to them. They deserve it. ππ
Okay, let's start. Here's my October to November journey. Please bear with me. π
**Published 15 articles**
Well, this is unexpected because I am a busy mom but I'd able to publish 20 articles for November from 16 last October. I am beyond grateful for this because even if I'm not good in the writing profession, I still give my best to write. To share what I have in my mind. Still, I made it. π
**Earn at least $60**
This is not so good. Why? Because I didn't hit my target earnings which is $60 or 3,000 Php. I am a bit sad because I accumulated $52.92 or 2,646 PHP in total. I failed this time. But it's okay, it's part of our journey. Not all the time we will be able to get the target because we also have priorities that's why we fail.
*But we should stand still again and to keep going, and keep grinding. It's never too late as long there is still time and there is still readcash. π*
**10 Additional Subscribers**
I surpassed this target because from 47 subscribers last October to 63 subscribers this November. So, I have 16 additional subscribers this month. Thanks to God that I reach the target even more. π
*An enormous thank you to my new subscribers. God bless each of you. π*
**Additional Sponsors**
Well, I am still happy and blessed because my dear sponsors are still the same. I don't know but they stick with me. Hehehe π
***Here they are. My dearest and generous sponsors. Some of them have just renewed their sponsorship and upgraded. Hoping you will still be with me in the end. π God bless you.***
These are all my progress and a little achievement. I am hoping that I make you proud of what I have right now. I hope I make you happy then. And please accept my apology for sometimes I wasn't able to be active in days for the reason that I have a baby to take care of. Thank you for your understanding especially my sponsors, readers, and upvoters. I appreciate all of your goodness in me. π
Moreover, just this month, I decided to become a sponsor. I sponsored about 20 users most of them are newbies. I am encouraging them to keep going no matter what. No matter how it works. No matter how difficult it is in the first step. I know at some point, they will slowly love and value this family. They will surely enjoy their stay here.
I am praying that to all I sponsored, I do hope that I make them happy as well. I hope that even if it is just a little amount, I am looking forward that they will still be thankful after all. I will continue to support them as long as I can. Promise π because I believe in the saying that "it is better to give than to receive" Hehehe. π
I am still wanted to become a sponsor for these comings days. Surely they will receive my share, my blessings just for them. π
***I will end this with one of my favorite sayings that " Slow progress is better than no progress at all. " π***
So, that would be all for today. I hope I make you smile now. God bless you. Shalom! πππ

Well Appreciated
*Every small or big thing that comes our way, should be appreciated. It should be recognized because these things make us what we are right now and what we will become. What we will become in the sense that it will reflect on who we are in the future by doing and appreciating the things we have just this moment.*
In my part, I am very much thankful to God for letting me know read cash as my newfound because this platform helps me to survive in terms of raising my own family. All the earnings that I received are being expensed at my home. Such a wonderful blessing. An enormous THANK YOU to my dearest and college bestie @Yzza0625 for introducing this to me. I never thought that it enables me to hope for more about life. π
Even if I am not better at writing because I am not a bookworm kind of person, still, I did a try. Regardless of my limited thoughts, ideas, and opinions, I still did a try. I did my best to write my piece and believe that one day, rusty will visit me. As they said, rusty is the most generous member of this platform. That's why I keep on writing, try and try until I will be noticed. And, hey!!! After almost three weeks, with a surprise, he noticed me in my third published article entitled ****" CallMate to Lifetime Partner".**** I was on cloud nine that time when I saw his name on my notification list. I was the happiest person in the universe during that time. πWho would have thought that he will visit me maybe because he loves our love story. (Kilig overload)π
At that juncture, I appreciate his visit with me particularly my writing. I appreciate his efforts because I know it will take an effort before he will notice us through spending his time reading.
Last Sunday, as I scroll down from my notification list, I read the good news that my articles have been reached into 1,ooo views. This news made me happy and made me smile. My heart jumped with happiness. π
Even if this number is just small compared to other writers here, I am still proud that I got this. I know I can't equate the progress to other writers here because I am a busy mom taking care of my daughter. But all I know is that I make a progress as well. Slow progress is better than no progress at all. One thing is for sure is that I made it this far. I made it to make me feel proud of myself for what I did for almost 4months being here. For me, this well deserves to be appreciated.
I am happy beyond measure because at least I have something to be proud of. I have still proof that this is not a joke. Writing here is not easy at all because you have to exert so much effort in thinking the best for the readers. You have to open and free up your mind from negativity so that you can write very well. You can focus and share what you want to let out. With all honesty, I am not good at writing. I am not better than others. I don't have a brilliant mind that I can share with my readers. However, I am still proud and happy after all. And I still made it. Congrats self. ππ
I just want to thank everyone to those who view my articles even if most of them are exhausting to read. Heheeheπ
***That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God Bless. Shalom! π***

Give Thanks!
`Give Thanks - Song by Don Moen`
*Give thanks with a grateful heart*
*Give thanks to the Holy One*
*Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. π*
Thank you, dear sponsors, for being there to support me, your generosity always amazed me. π
And also to my reader, subscribers, upvoters, and commenters, thank you for always updating my write-up. For spending your time. I highly appreciate all of you from the bottom of my heart. πππ
Today is Sunday. This is the day where we are excited to go to church to worship the Creator. The day where our Lord is worthy of all the Thanksgiving. He deserves all of what we have.
In our religion, we used to celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday every last Sunday of every November. We usually held our Sunday service in the church and after it, we head to the beach for the get-together lunch. But before that, we prepared it first with heavy foods that are prepared by the church members such as roasted pig (Lechon baboy), Humba, fried chicken, pancit, and buko salad. These are usually what we prepared for lunch.
But above all else, the spiritual aspect is being prepared as well. It is the most important dish that should be present at this very moment. We usually start our service earlier than the common schedule. We invite a guest speaker for the gospel to be shared with the listeners or with the people who attended the service. It is our tradition to have a guest speaker so that we can hear and listen to different ways of preaching the gospel. We can't withhold that we can compare from our very own Pastor to our guest speaker. But they are still the best. Heheπ
Right after our service, we go to the meeting place for the get-together lunch which is usually at the beach. Why? Because it has a wide space. We can move freely and maximize our movements. And also it is because after we eat our lunch, we have a short program. There are presentations in every department from children to adults. Mostly, we prepare a dance number or interpretative dance. Sometimes, comical skits or funny acting that is related to Christianity. We seldom present a heavy drama like imitating the past happenings of Jesus Christ. We rarely present a heavy drama where everyone could relate from wicked ways of life to a life that already found Jesus Christ. π Drama scenes are being prepared by the youth department and a song and dance number from the children's and women's department. Such a very enjoyable show and event when Thanksgiving comes.
And now today is the last Sunday of November. Sad to say, we weren't able to celebrate our Thanksgiving today because we were done celebrating it last June this year as a double celebration of the church anniversary. This is the idea of our administrative Pastor. So, we as members of the church, respect his decision to celebrate it as one. And it's okay with us since we are still facing a crisis. Hehehe no problem at all. π
I am sharing this with you it is because earlier this afternoon, my sister had invited us to attend their Thanksgiving celebration on the beach. We just grab the chance to celebrate with them. Also, it is free, so we went right away after our service or mass. Hahahaπ
I just missed the days that we celebrate our thanksgiving Sunday as a special day. I reminisce the moments also when I was just a youth member and a youth president at the same time. As I watched earlier the happenings, the youth department presented their talents to God and to all the people who were there. They were never ashamed of who they served. They just want to glorify our God. Their presentations were all amazing and I believe that God is pleased with what they do. Job well done. πHands up to them. Hoping they will continue their serving career and availability to God. Surely, it will never be in vain and wasted. π God is good. π
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom!!!ππ

Stress Yet Still Blessed
Hello, my blessings. π How are you? I just want to thank those who renewed their sponsorship to me and upgraded their amount as well. Sorry for not being active for almost 3days because as always I am busy taking care of my child. She is about to walk already that's why I am a bit busy following and guiding her steps. Hoping you understand. π
Life is a beautiful thing to live for. A wonderful thing to hope for despite the negatives life has been offered, let us still be thankful to God for He never leaves us. He still working on things for us to be better. He is good after all. And now, even we are amidst the stressful life that we encounter, we should be grateful for we are still kicking and fighting for a better tomorrow. We are still hoping that one day everything will gonna be fine. Let's keep believing π
Let's start with my topic.
I know all of us experienced being stressed. It seems normal and can't be denied that we undergo this way. I think, only normal people felt this. Hehehe π so now, π
What is stress?
For me, based on what I read and understood, ***stress is the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure. Or in other words, stress is our bodyβs response to pressure***.
There are instances in life that we can't hide and deny the reality that this stress will automatically set in that we never expected to happen. It perhaps leads to circumstances that we never anticipate to occur especially when it comes to money.
Causes of stress
Financial
For me, money is the number one cause of stress particularly in terms of budgeting the little amount of cash on hand. It is never gonna easy to budget the money when you know that it will never be enough for the whole week to be consumed especially when you have a baby. In my case that I have a baby that has needs like diapers, vitamins, healthy food, and personal stuff that will not be sufficient for us. It is indeed a stressful situation. I will not be denial into this. π
It is true that when you already have your own family, everything that is needed is your responsibility to take. Budgeting is the most difficult one when the money that you have is insufficient for all the things needed inside the house or home. This is the time that you are feeling stressed. Sad but true. π©
Relationships
Well, this is somewhat true. You are stressed to the people around you especially when that person is the one who is with you inside the house and this person is not helping you with all the household chores. Sitting and using a cellphone is the only thing he knows how to do. Who wouldn't feel stressed about this person? It is difficult to handle sometimes and you have no choice but to accept it instead. Accept that he is not into doing the household chores maybe because he is not well trained with his parents before. Hays. Okay, that is all he is. π
Your kid/s
This is indeed similarly the cause of our stress as parents especially when they are hard-headed doing the household chores. They keep on saying 'later, I will do it. But at the end of the day, nothing happens. Nothing changes. It is such a hard time to deal with them at some corner and you as a parent have nothing to do but to be a good mother after all. Ratify them.
But hey parents, we should not tolerate their attitudes. We should train them to do the household chores so they do not be lazy when the time comes that they have already a family. It is never a mistake to help and discipline them as long as they are still with you. It isn't too late.
What did I do to relieve stress?
Pray
This is the primary solution to all the stress you've got from the people and things around you. I always did this as a routine to ask God for help. To ask Him for guidance and ask Him to help me overcome this hardship of mine become I know He will not leave me. He will not let me live miserably. That's why I keep on talking to Him cause I know He will listen to me. He is extremely favorable. And after I talked to Him, I feel relaxed, happy, and peaceful. π
Singing
When I am stressed, this is what I always wanted to do. I sing a song. I am looking for a way to ease the stress by singing songs. I don't know but it helps me to reduce the stress I am with. I just want to release the emotion I felt by doing this kind. And after I did this, I feel like I am relieved and relaxed. The burden I have leaves lighter after. πI love singing too even I don't have an angelic voice. Heheheπ
Eating
I don't know but when I am stressed, I love to it any kind of food but most especially sweets. I am craving something to eat. Stress makes me chubby and this is true. I feel satisfied after I eat and I feel that the stress has gone away quickly. Such an effective way. You must try. Heheheπ
But I know some people also that when they are stressed, they didn't have the appetite to eat. They just let their hunger strike them fully. That's why most of all stressed people are slim. (Sana all)π
After all, I am feeling stressed, I am still blessed. Why? because
First, I have a God who is always ready to help. He enables me to stay good even I suffer so hard and with difficulty. He carries all the burden I have and I am so much blessed with that.
Second, I am still blessed because my husband is always there to help me raise our child in doing everything in the house. He does all things to make us feel comfortable. He even treats us to have some walks and eat some yummy food. Sometimes if he has abundant cash, he granted me what I am asking for. Such a very helpful and generous husband. π
Lastly, I am still blessed because my family especially my sisters are always there to support and guide me in raising my baby. They teach me what is the best thing to do. What are the do's and don'ts to be able to do it for me alone. I am thankful that I have my sisters always at my back. And my Mother also helps me as well. π
With that, the stress I am fighting for makes me feel clearer to think of important things to do especially for the betterment of my child and my little family. They are all extremely amazing.π
**Author's Say**
`I know that all of us already experienced being stressed. I know that we have different ways on how to deal with it. How to overcome those. How to manage stress. But it is more important to stay positive that one day everything will gonna be outstanding. Let's all trust the process from God. π`
Those mentioned above are true from my own experienced. That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom! π

Family's Day Out
***The most important thing in the world is family and love. - John Wooden -***
*Family indeed is an important thing. We can't live happily without them. We can't truly find the true meaning of love if we don't have a family. A house is not a home without family members inside. And family is not a family without love. Everything we dreamed and longed for is for our family's future situation. We strive harder to accomplish what we are aiming for for the family to have a better life ahead.*
*It is more valuable if we firmly spent our time with them making great memories. They deserve to be loved and valued no matter what instances have to splash in our lives. No matter how big or small waves are, we should put our confidence in them. They are worthy of all the things that we can share with them.*
That's why, on my part, I didn't hesitate to spend my time with them. Treating them to enjoy life every moment. And I make it to my own little family, especially to my daughter. I delight them with a simple roaming around the city just yesterday. I was so happy then. π
So here's what happened yesterday. π
Yesterday morning, my husband and I had a short conversation about strolling around the City because he has no work at the time. We planned to bring us with our daughter too. We will try if our daughter will be happy if she will see another thing, especially the vehicles around. It will be her first time.
We decided to go to the city in the afternoon around 3:00 PM - Philippine Time. So, the time has come that we need to prepare ourselves since we will just ride a motorcycle from my husband going to the place. It took 30 minutes before we reached the place. We were also planning to get inside some of the stores in the City and fortunately, my baby has been given a chance to enter inside because our place is already under alert level 2 from IATF approval. But of course, it is more advantageous if both parents are fully vaccinated. They will surely allow you to go inside. And because we are both fully vaccinated, we were able to get inside.
I was so happy then because of the good news that my baby will now have the time to explore some of the things around. As a mother, I was so happy also to see her happy as well. She keeps on pointing at the toys with matching a baby talk when we were in the toy section. She was noisy and she keeps on smiling particularly to the sales lady who was there. I can't even explain the joy I felt. I had so much fun. π
After we roamed around the two stores, we agreed to take our dinner in a famous restaurant in the City called **"Spy's Diner".** The restaurant is open for all. They are not strict. They allowed kids to get inside but with social distancing. The area is very clean, wide, and relaxing because it is airconditioned. I love the atmosphere inside. From the music that plays, the decoration inside, and the ambiance is so well. I wanted to be there every day if I have a lot of money. Lol hahaha π
another reason why I love the place is that the food is yummy and affordable. You can really have a great time staying there. Hehehe π
We ordered soup the "bulalo" so that our baby can eat it too and the other one is called "stuffed shrimp". We also ordered cheese French fries and a glass of lemonade. That's all that we ordered. We only budget our money. Heehehe we waited for about 15 minutes only.
And because our tummies were already full, we went right away to City plaza to watch the Christmas lights there. There are just temporary Christmas lights. Maybe next week would be the grand lighting up of the Christmas lights and other Christmas-related lights. So in there, our baby had enjoyed it so much seeing different colors caused by the Christmas lights. And also because she saw kids playing around. She wanted to join them. She wanted to make friends. She was very cheerful. She always smiling. Such a relief seeing her happy.
Later on, we were distracted by the toy that was being sold on the street that had different colors on it. My baby doesn't resist getting close to the vendor. She wanted to have one. She keeps on pointing to the toy. And as a mother, I know what she wanted or needed. So, without any doubt, we bought one. She shouted for joy. π
So, we as parents, we're both happy seeing our child happy too. π
Yesterday was a great time for us. It was our first time roaming around the City together with our little princess. We were beyond glad that our daughter enjoyed the moment. She always smiling seeing another thing, another person she met around the City. The feelings I felt were unexplainable and unfathomable. Or in other words, mixed emotions. So, therefore, we decided again to bring her back to the City once more if the Christmas tree there will be finally lit up. Maybe next week if God willing. π
**That would be all, my read family. Hoping I make you happy even in just a small little way. I make you inspired??? Hehehehe! Anyway, thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. πShalom! π**

15 Years Ago!
*It's already been 15 years since my father died. He died on November 23, 2006, due to a heart attack. π Exactly today, we reminisce about his presence. π*
*At first, we had a hard time moving on. It's difficult to start a new beginning because the head of the family was gone. It hurts so much that one of the members of the family lost his life in just a snap. What a sad story to tell. π*
I will share with you what kind of man or father he was.
My father doesn't finish his studies due to laziness to go to school. He doesn't want to study, what he wants was to have fun with his friends. Making memories through drinking alcohol. Lol π He doesn't think about his future life.
Until such time, he met my mother at an unexpected time. Years later, they decided to tie the knot because my mother was already pregnant. So, they got married right away. My mother was just 19 years old, I think.
Their married life had blessed enough with 12 healthy eggs. Hahaha, such a hardworking parent tho. ππ Yes, you read it right. They had 1dozen children and we are beyond grateful for that. I am on the 11th sequence of the family. Or second to the last member of the healthy eggs. Lol.π
So, even if we were a huge kind of family, my father always finds his way to supply and provide everything that we require. He was a responsible man after all. Even if he drank alcohol, he always makes sure that we are okay and had enough food to eat. Even if we are just poor, he is always there to stand for us. He was there to support us. For me, he is the best father.
However, despite all the goodness, he dealt with us, he was still not a perfect father. He commits lots of mistakes. With all honesty, he was the kind of man that got drunk after his work. He got drunk with friends and went home noisy. We, as his offspring, we can't deny that we felt afraid and scared if he is drunk. We came to the point that we hid under the bed so that he will not find us but he is a father. He always seeks us if we are in our home. He called us to make sure that we are in the house already before evening came. Even if he drink and got dunked after, we were still happy and blessed that he was our father. That he was once our hero. We were still beyond thankful that he came to us. That he became part of our growth each day. He was still the best father in the world.
Now, earlier today, we celebrated his death anniversary as a sign that we missed him so much. That we just wanted him to be with us right now. If we could.
Since it's his 15th death anniversary, his son who is blessed enough regarding money because he is a seaman treats us with dinner as a simple treat to our late father. We just missed him. That's why we gathered and make time altogether eating in a seafood restaurant as a family bonding too. We thanked our generous brother for sharing his blessings with us.
We ended our day with a full tummy and filled faces with a precious smile. We thank God for that. For everything He blessed us. π
That would be all for today, my read family. π I am tired since we need to travel to head the place for almost 2hours. Hehehe
***Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us. Shalom!***

New ID, New Profile!
It's a new day for all of us. A new profile, a newfound card. π
*The content of this article is all about registering a new profile or shall I say a new identification card which is the national ID. Today is our schedule to be registered. It is a new profile because I will use my new last name from my husband's surname and it is my first time using his. Hehehe*
So, here's what happened to my day.
**Blog. Blog. Blog.**
I woke up around 5:30 AM today. My baby woke up too. She smiled back at me as she sees me beside her. Her sweet smile overwhelmed me. π
My husband and I are light excited about our appointment today but he has to go to work first before going ahead to the place where we are about to be registered. Our schedule is 10:00 AM and he has to undertime from his work. He went home on time. So, right after he arrived home we went right away to the site.
As we were there, the area is wide open and clean. The tables and chairs were well arranged where social distancing is being observed as always. The policy in the area is strict "no facemask, no entry" which is the new protocol nowadays. The registry operators and the staffs were all approachable. They guide and entertained us so nicely. Even the processing itself is faster as they could because they want all the people who were scheduled in the morning will be accomplished on time. And because it was organized, the process went adequately. We finished the system from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. It was all smooth and a job well done. I highly appreciate their procedure. π
*What I didn't like about the national ID is our faces seem unpleasant to look at because I think the result would be black and white. Also, we need to get closer to the camera so that our faces will be detected on the computer and you are not allowed to smile wide just a simple smile tho. In addition, red lips or anything that has color to your lips is not permitted too. So, what would be your look after? Do not expect that you are pretty to look at. Lol. π*
*However, there is a reason behind the condition why we just need to look simple after all. There is a purpose. So, as I was done everything, I just stop muttering words regarding the result of the ID most especially the faces. Hehehe just simple good luck. Hehehe*
*Nevertheless, we should respect the government's policy or the requirements to do the process. At the end of the day, I was incredibly thankful to all the staff and the operators for guiding me throughout the process itself.*
So back to the processing, as I was done on the national ID, I need to fall in line for the ATM card from the LANDBANK given by the government. I grabbed the opportunity to receive it free. I prolong my patience just to have one. But of course, before you got the card, there are still rules to be followed. You cannot have the card if you have already a bank account, a 4P's member and beneficiaries, a government employee, and a scholar provided by the government like a CHED and TES scholar. In my case, I was approved since I don't have yet any bank account and everything mentioned above. So, I received my ATM card. The staff added also that the purpose of the ATM card would be if there is an "AYUDA" given by the government, the financial assistance will be directly deposited to the card itself. No need to go to the offices to clarify everything. So, I was beyond thankful that I have one. π
That would be all for today. This is all I can share with you all. Thank you. π
*Hello, dear readers, sponsors, and my family here. I just wrote this article last Saturday on the day that I was on the site. I was supposed to publish this that day but I failed because of my internet connection. There was a problem. So, that's why I was also inactive the last three days. π Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless us all. Shalom! π*

My Motivation to keep going.
*Hello, there. My newfound family here in read. How's your life? What's new? What's the update? Is your goal being achieved? How about an achievement?*
These questions above are common to hear from anyone. It is just a query to hear from. Well, it's not a big deal. We can answer them anyway.
Today, I woke up at 2:30 AM. It is kinda too early. Right? Since I am not feeling sleepy and I can't sleep back to bed. I decided to write my entry today.Heheheπ
So, as I woke up. I quickly got my phone beside my husband because we have an agreement that when evening comes around 7 PM, he is the one who will use my phone since his phone is not working well anymore. The screen is already broken. That is why I planned to buy a new phone for myself and this one I used now is for him. I feel pity for him every time I saw his phone has cracked on the screen and the power button is already damaged too. Hehehe and the phone itself has not had enough storage because it is just a cheap kind of phone. So, we don't know, if I can accumulate $100, I will surely buy a new one. π okay, so much for that it is not my content to write about. Lol. π
Above all that happened in my life. As a first-time mom, I can't deny that I have something within me that I can't express to someone. I only keep it in my mind and my heart. Since I am a mother, I am here to stay at home to take care of my baby who is just months old. So, I have this in my inner self thinking what would be my counterpart to my husband as he is the one who is just working for us for our daily needs. He is the one who strives harder to meet what we need especially for our baby. I got to realize that I have to take my part as a partner in pushing through life. But how? How can I make it when I am just at home as a babysitter to our daughter? Hays! It is really hard to decide most especially since I am also a breastfeeding mom to my little one. I can't leave her for work. I can't do it because she needs me. She needs my milk. π
So, I decided to work anyway next year if she turns one already and can walk so that it would not be hard to babysit if I will leave her to her aunts or Lolo's and Lola's soon. If given a chance to have a job next year, then that would be my new blessing for that year. That would be my starting point for my goal. So, I need to keep going for them. π
My daughter
The moment that she came into our life with my husband, I have this motivation to keep going no matter what. To keep going to supply everything for her. To give what she wanted and what makes her happy. It is my pleasure and joy to see her happy every time I give something. Just like now even if she is just a 10month old, every time I give her food. She smiles back at me. Maybe that is her way of saying thank you. With that, I feel so much happiness within. I am overwhelmed by her smile. π
My husband
Ever since we got married, he's the one who shoulders everything in our little family. From the time I was still on my pregnancy journey until this moment that we have already a baby, he's the one who provides everything. Our basic needs. That's why I am beyond grateful to God for giving me such a hardworking and responsible husband. Being a responsible man is enough for me. I am not dreaming that one day we will be wealthy or have lots of money in our wallets. What I dreamed of is to have a happy family and a peaceful life with God of course. Seeing them happy is sufficient for me. I am already on cloud nine. π
So, since my husband is only the one working, I decide to work as his partner to help raise our daily needs. And also, since I am the one who has a bachelor's degree, I will use this for my family. For our prosperity. For our future. If blessed enough next year, then I will keep going. πͺ
My mother
My mother is already a senior citizen, she is 71 years old. Yes, she's old but still able to work especially in terms of farming. She loves doing so in the land. Like sowing root crops. It is her stress reliever. We, as her children, don't like that she still working on land because she's already old. But she is hard-headed. She doesn't listen to us. Instead, she continued what she love to do. So, we just let her do it but we also make sure for her safety and protection.
As a daughter, I have this desire to give her needs. Her maintenance such medicines and milk. But I can't give it now because I have no job. That's why I am eager to have a job next year for her as well. I love her. I love my mom so much. I can't afford to lose her. πSo, I will not stop to keep going. To keep moving. πͺ
As a mother, wife, and daughter, I have a heart and longing to help them. To raise them for what they deserve. They are my **motivation** why I need to keep harder for my goals and dreams. To make it into reality. And I will do that with the help of our God. With His favor, blessing, and provision. ππ
I hope I make you inspire this simple yet from the heart content. ππ
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. Shalom!

Are You Ready Now?
`Matthew 23:42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.`
All of us who live in this world don't know when will be the second coming of Jesus Christ. Surely thing is that He will come. With that, we also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. We should be vigilant in all our ways. We should get ready and be prepared ourselves His coming. He will come like a thief that nobody knows what time He will steal.
So, here are the questions that need to be answered. And this is my answer. This is all I can say.
`Are you ready now to face Jesus?`
Me? Maybe no. Why? It is because I am still sinning each day. I am still not fully grown in terms of the spiritual aspect. I am not fully equipped. I am still in the corner thinking if I am ready to meet Him. I am still doubtful. To be honest, I am scared. I am frightened. π
`Are you doing now in His will?`
Well, I am doing some of His wills but most of His wills are not still realized. As I said, I am still sinning each day. And I will not deny it. I am not perfect. But each day, I am trying to do it. I am doing my very best to do it but most of the time I fail. I've fallen many times. π©
`Are you keeping all the commandments that He gave?`
Speaking of keeping, I am not a perfect person. I am not Holy as God is. To be honest, I always fail to keep them. I sin each day. That's why I can't say that I keep them all because sad but true, I didn't keep them at all. π’
I answered the questions honestly. I am not still ready to meet or face Him. I am scared because He is God. He is the King of all kings. He is the Lord of all lords. That is why, since I am not ready, I am still now in the process of doing the best thing to do to make Him pleased and delighted. I am always doing a prayer every day to have an intimate relationship with Him. I am always asking His forgiveness for all I have sinned each day. I am always asking Him for help to be better and do what He commanded us to do so. I am still in the way of preparing myself. I let myself be used by His glory. I joined a group Bible study once a week. I used my voice to lift His goodness by singing praises to Him. I use my talents and skills in every activity in our church especially when it is our church anniversary. It is the best time to take our part as servants of God. π
Thank you as always my blessings. π
Author's Reminder:
As long as He is still not with us, we have still time to push harder to our faith. Let's keep ourselves busy in preparing our spiritual thing so that we will be in heaven with Christ. We should remember that we should not let our full time spent on worldly things, it should be spent wisely especially on Godly things. It is more important our spiritual life than our current life now which is just temporary. All the things we have right now are just momentary. So, let us not be doubtful to be fully committed to Christ. I know for sure that it will never be in vain. It will never be wasted. God is God. He is the one who has the right to choose who will be with Him for eternity. So, let us keep moving forward to gratify Him. Let's make use our self to Him because we have still time to do so. I am certain that He will reward us after what we have done for His kingdom. All Glory and Honor belongs to God alone.ππ
***Disclaimer: I know that each of us has our ways on how to get ready for the coming of Christ. We all have different beliefs and religions here. I am sure of that. What I am trying to say from above is all from my thoughts. It is my answer. I am just telling and sharing with you what I am into speaking of being ready to face our Lord. I hope that some of you have learned regarding this.***

Sacrificial Giving!
Before anything else to start this another write-up to be shared, I just want to flex my blessings from the very start of my journey. They are the ones who never leave me despite my inactivity most of the time due to my baby. I am blessed that they understand me. They still extend their warmest support for me.
***Thank you so much, my dear sponsors. You never fail me. You can check out their works as well. They are such a great writer. You will never regret it if you visit them. π***
Let us start with my content.
Foremost, I just want to explain first of what is the meaning of the word sacrificial if you found it confusing. Hehehe okay. From the word **sacrificial,** the root word is sacrifice. Right? So, it means that anythingΒ *sacrificial*Β has to do with a sacrifice. It is just like when you are traveling around the city or somewhere then you see an old woman standing in front of you because there's no other vacant seat and then you *give up your seat for her. That is aΒ sacrificialΒ act.*
In other words, a sacrifice is something given up for the sake of others, so anything sacrificial is connected to that selfless act. We can do it multiple times towards each other. We can still make it. We can make a life change into what she deserves or what she needs in a way of giving. There is a quotation that says **"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.β** Hence, just by giving we make life. We make a difference. Therefore, I conclude that there is power in giving. There are changes in giving. There is life in giving.
Just like what God did to us. What He has done just for us. If you didn't know what God did for you and me. Here's the overview.
The scriptures say in **John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-**
God loves us so dearly. He came to the point that He did a **sacrificial giving** for us to be saved from wickedness. He gave up His only Son ( Jesus Christ) for us to have life. For us to be able to live life the way it should be. The way He designs it for us. The way He wanted. He never doubted to do it because of love. He never regrets that He did that. He sacrificed the pain. He did it without murmuring. He did it with His own will. He is the exact illustration of the phrase **sacrificial giving.**
However, in life, giving is just a piece of cake. It is easier. It is common especially that the Christmas season is fast approaching. For sure giving is everywhere. With that, it is good to give and yes, it is better to give than to receive.π But we should put in mind that **" we can give without love but we can't love without giving."** So, there are instances that we can easily give without love. It is not from the heart. Some people also that they just give because they are expecting something in return. And that is not a good act. If you give, just give. Without expecting something because if you expect to, you will just end up hurting yourself and it really hurts. You know. π
Thus, when we said sacrificial giving, it is an act of something you sacrifice what you have through giving up so that someone will have something that comes from you. You give wholeheartedly. Without talking bad at all. When you give, just give. And when you do that, our God in heaven will reward you abundantly. π
Author's Note:
`These are all from my ideas and thoughts. I hope and pray that you learn something from this in which sacrificial giving is somewhat hard to do because you have to sacrifice something that you have. It is done through having a big heart for the people. And I think, rare people nowadays are doing like that. Even me, I can't do it. What I can do is to give without any words and I can give without expecting something in return. But when we say sacrificial giving, it is difficult to do so. That is why God is the perfect representation of this act. Thus, He deserves all the Thanksgiving. He deserves to be lifted higher. Above all these, He is God.π`
That would be all. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. Shalom!
