Green, green leaves!
June 18,2022
Yesterday I visit my garden and I am so happy to know that they are growing fast and some of them are bearing flowers already.
*Flexing my wonderful sponsors. I hope you are doing great. Love you everyone. Stay safe and healthy.*
I already share to you here my garden and that was way back the first of June and a short update for my visit yesterday, my garden are now bearing flowers. I am not so proud of it because mom is the one taking care of it now becaus I am so busy with so many things. Though I am still thankful that I had mama to take care of them. They are growing fast and there leaves are green.
Look! Did you see that yellow flower over there? Yes, it's a flower and soon my cucumber will have fruits. I am excited to know that it has flowers and I hope it will grow healthy and turn into a big fruit. I am actually looking for a worm because mama asks me to do it. If you can see the green leaves have holes because worms ate them. I found one worm but I see more bugs. Anyways pest are part of gardening so I totally understand.
Look there's a bug on it. Gotta find some ways to keep the bugs away. Hmm? What do you think is the solution? Comment down below.
To continue I am happy also looking at my bean. Soon it will have it's fruits too. It started crawling and mama had to put something that could cater it's need. Glad that we had bamboo tree near our house. Mama did not have any hard time searching.
I don't really know what's wrong with my kangkong. They are so thin and they seems growing taller. Maybe they did not like the place. I think they want to grow in a wet place or in a water. Anyhow they are growing. Seeing them thristy that's why I watered them. Pouring lots of water good thing we are near in an irrigation it's not hard to fetch water.
Eventhough I am not the one who take care of it. I am still happy to know that they are growing. It's still my garden in the first place. I couldn't visit more often but I visit when I could and watered them. Also Talk to them. Soon mama could harvest their fruits and we could all benifit them.
Plants do need care and attention. To provide their needs. And if we couldn't give it they would die. Today, I am like the plant. I had my needs and I needed support. If they won't give the support I needed it's either I survive but barely breathing or I die. I am tired. And I have so many challenges faced like bugs and worms. Tons of pest in life that tried to destroy me. I don't know how to solve them but I will grow anyway. Soon, I know I will bear my flowers and turn it into fruits. Harvest it and enjoy all it's benifits.
So, if you are in my shoe as well. Let's continue to grow. Sooner or later we could harvest the fruits of our labor. Let's strive once more.
Be strong, an advice from me to you, who is also struggling.
Love,
Grace ❤️
Little Inventory
June 16, 2021
Today I had a short inventory of my small business. I list the product and it's sales. I don't know if I've done it correctly but I am sure I could understand what I have written. 😅
*Lead image from Unsplash*
*Hello, hello dear sponsors. As always, my deepest thanks to the both of you. Thank you so much for the support. Please know that I appreciate you both. God bless you always.*
I know my business is just a small one and only starting but small or big business needed to have inventory for it to continue rolling and achieve small success. It's a small details that most people who started business forget. But for me it's a very important one.
As I wake up earlier this morning, I started my inventory, tomorrow will be the first weeksary of my small business. I know it's not that big event to celebrate but it's a huge thing for me. Especially after learning that my capital returned after a week and I gain profit already. As well as knowing that I almost sell all of them out. I sold more than half of it. Horraaaay! 😁😁
If we look back I received my bale last Friday and I am so busy preparing my demonstration and interview during weekend. I had my interview and demonstration last Monday 'til Wednesday but I was able to sell few Tuesday afternoon. I know it's not just a success out of nowhere or like a magic but I work hard for it as well. I spend sorting size and price during my breaks. Taking pictures and uploading it on social media. Replying few costumers who are interested. Delivering as well on my vacant time. It's an investment not just money but also effort and time.
Actually this is a victory for a first timer like me. Knowing that I had been successful even if it's not my priority because I've been busy for the past few days as well, so it's an achievement that I earned passive income from it over seven days. I am blessed that the Lord answered my prayers. Guidance and divine providence he showered on me. Praise God.
Tonight I am happy and proud to let you know that I will be investing another bale. It would not be the same bale as the first time, which is the denim short but a denim skirt as well. Actually, I am having hard time choosing between cotton zipper and garter shorts mix and denim skirt. But considering that the zipper cotton short would cost me much more than the amount I could take risk especially that I am still starting. So, I choose denim skirt instead. I just hope and pray that the Lord will guide my decision making and althrough out this journey that I have chosen.
To you who is wanting to start a business but having second thought, I could only say, If you dream it you can do it. If not no then when? Stop dreaming and just make it happen. It does not require only money but also determination and hardwork. We have different hard choose your hard wisely.
That would be all for today friends. Thank you so much for reading. God bless and stay safe.
Almost done
Hi everyone. I miss you all here. It's been three or four days I guess that I did not write or even visit here and I am really sorry about that. I've been very busy for the pat few days. But praise God that I am almost done with everything and I do hope and pray that everything will turn out great and successful.
*Thank you so much for sticking up with me. Thank you so much. God bless you both.*
What keeps me busy for the past days?
I already share with you here about my application in the deped. And it's actually the reason why I am not active for many days. The application process is scheduled this week and next week. This week is for the interview and demonstration and next week will be the evaluation of the documents. But earlier today, I already finished my demonstration and my interview was done as well last Monday and Tuesday.
The experience gives me a roller coaster feeling. That feeling when you go up and then suddenly falls down. The butterflies in my stomach is so real. I thought I could only have butterflies in my stomach when I am inlove but no I also felt butterflies when I am very nervous. Specially during the first day, Monday, I can't really explain my feelings back then. It was a mixed emotions. I am excited yet nervous. But on our second day the nervousness was lessened since I am done with the interview. I had my demo on my second day which I am confident and comfortable presenting since I already met and had small talk with the panel during my interview. The panelist was actually nice people. It's only our thoughts and nervousness gets us fricked out. Hehe
I know it's not done yet because we still have the evaluation of our documents but I already have my learnings of off this experience that I have.
First, is to ask God. I am grateful that in this time my faith with the Lord got stronger cause I believe I couldn't do anything without him. And in this time I needed his strength, his knowledge and his wisdom. Everyday before we start I always ask my friend to pray with me. And indeed god is with us all throughout the process. His faithfulness is so vivid and his presence is with us.
Second, is to never let fear over power. As a human being it is normal that I felt nervous and afraid. But it's not really fine and normal to let fear over power everything because it can't help the situation. Never let the negative things control you. Think that you can do it. Pray for it.
Third, manifest things. It's really helpful to manifest things to turn out positively. Claim things what you desire. Ask the fate to side with you. The past days, I manifest things the way I want it to be. And praise God it turn out positively. Though it's not how I want it to be but how God planned it to be.
Always wear your smile. Being nervous is normal but to smile amidst nervousness and fear takes a lot of strength and courage. Smile can lessen the tension. It lighten the mode. To the people around you and to yourself. It's not that you don't validate your current state but it's a strong weapon to put on to say that you can handle fear and manage yourself amidst the tension you are feeling.
Last but not the least, valuing friendship. When trials and fear comes, I am happy that I had my friends as my support system. All the way, we had each other. To value and treasure friendship is a must. Learn to be with them through thick and thin. They are angels sent from above to comfort you and be with you no matter what. I am happy and grateful to God that he sent me wonderful people not just friends but also my family.
**Conclusion**
This experience will be treasured althrough out my existence. In this time I see my self. A very strong-willed woman. Positive and God-centered. It may be a very hard ways to pass through but I am so much grateful to experience it. Because I see myself growing and learning. I believe when my fruit to all this labor be harvested, it will be the sweetest because I work hard for it and put my every strength and heart to make it happen. I hope and pray God will gave my perfect time this time.
That's all for today folks. Thanks so much for reading.
expected Unexpectedly
June 10, 2022
Hello! Hello! Hello everyone! Today is Friday and it's flyday. Much of you here is happy because weekends is waving. Some of you as well don't really mind since weekend still calls for work, no days off. But let's be grateful for another successful week that we survive. Praise God for all his blessings and graces that we received.
*Hello as well to my wonderful sponsors. I hope you'll have your rest this weekend. Stay safe to both of you. God bless.*
Today is such an expectedly unexpected day. If you know what I mean lol. Those day that you expect that things will be unexpected that is how the title came to be. Two things actually happened today expectedly unexpected.
First, is that all the applicants, since I shared to you that I am currently applying for a job, we are expected to pass our requirements today but a last minute meeting was called by the school principal for us to talk about some errand that we need to address next week on our application process. Since, I wasn not prepared for it to happened, I came late. It's embarrassing but it's better late than never.
The second thing is my bale. It arrived today and I never thought it would be because the partner courier did not give me a notice regarding the delivery. So it was a surprise to me. But no worries because I already paid the items. All I need to do is received it. Since I am in a meeting, I had hard time recieving my parcel. Anyhow I received it without any problem and I went home with a big smile in my face.
Feedback
Overall I am satisfied. It's all beautiful. And worth it. It's my first time selling and I guess it will be worth it. Right after I open the bale, I already sold 10 pieces. I only sell them in a very affordable price. Ranging 50 to 100 pesos only, around 1 to 2 dollars only. The quality are very nice and why selling them cheap? I don't sell it cheap, to tell you honestly, I could have profit, if it will all be sold, doubled from my capital. I am also a buyer so I could feel my soon buyers as well if how would they feel regarding their purchase. And I want them all to be happy. I want them all to say that it's all worth it. I could relate to them if I would be satisfied with my purchase if ever I would buy it myself. So the range of 50 to 100 pesos is already a mind blowing. Expected Unexpectedly indeed 😅.
Before I open my bale, I prayed the Lord give him thanks and ask for his blessings. I do hope and pray my small business would grow. I hope that I could sell them all. I hope many will support me. After opening it I praise God that there are many pretty designs. And I praise God my neighbors and friends supported me. 🥰
I am so happy today, I enjoy what I am doing and it relieved me from so much stress and overthinkings. I hope I will be bless with this journey. That would be all for today friends. Thank you for your time. God bless.
Venturing the world of business
Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing great. My apologies for not writing anything for two days. It feels like weeks that I am not active even though it's just actually two days. Wait? Hmm 🤔 is it? Anyways so much about that what matter most is I am back. The reason by the way why I am not active is because of the current application process of Deped. Yes, I did it again. Since, the last time won't be credited even if I already pass the RQA. Anyhow I don't mind trying. You know, I just do my best and hope for the best. I strongly believe, if it's my time it will happen. The Lord will make it happen. But today's article isn't about that but about my new journey that I venture. What is it?

Hi to my lovely and wonderful sponsors. I hope you're doing great. Be bless and stay safe.
The world of business
Yes, you read it right. Just how you read the title before clicking this article. I am currently venturing the world of business. I have decided not just long ago to try new path maybe just maybe that's where I am fated to be.
**STORY TIME**
I actually decided to start a small business just this month started. You all know I was down in the previous month. Having some emotional pain and I felt drain and this decision became my escape. This decision helps me to continue fighting and able to wake up having something to look forward to. It was because of my friend @Narenyl_92 , a business woman herself, push me as well. She always encourage me to try new things and never be afraid of taking risks, because that's life. You risk or you never grow. So, the very next day after our conversation. I did what I never did ever before. I put up a not so huge amount for a small business which is a thift store. I don't have a store yet but I already ordered my bale. I don't have it yet but today I received another parcel. A set of items that I also intended to sell.
It wasn't huge since I am still new and starting but this gives me happiness and hope. It gives me a little sense of purpose to strive hard. I know it won't be easy but I prayed God that he will be with me guiding me in this journey. And I prayed for strength, most especially. My bale didn't arrive yet since it came from somewhere far, miles apart. But I could track it and it says it's in our area and already in the sorting facility. Few days from now, I will be receiving it. I am excited of course but I am scared as well. I have lots of what ifs, but I don't want it to drag me down. So I think positive always.
Whenever I will recieved it I will let you know. I will be sharing it to you. For now I will just wait for it and pray it will arrived just fine and no problem will arise. This is it. Today marks me as an official business woman. It sounds great but scarry. There's actually a lot of ideas coming to me and I hope I could put them to life. I will pray everything to God because He is the ultimate planner, his plan will be the one to prevail always.
**CONCLUSION**
I am not yet called a successful business woman but I will someday. Today is just the first step. But the only thing I could say to you who is reading right now, " **never be afraid to venture new things. Pray everything to the Lord and he will put things accordingly."**
I spend so many years being afraid and I gain none. I am happy and grateful to everyone that believes in me especially @Narenyl_92 you are always the one who boost my confidence to myself. I am grateful to God for having you. You are always that person who believe in me when I got no one even my family. I love you ate.
To you as well, if you have plans but you are holding yourself because you think you can't then I tell you to never be afraid. **If you dream it you can do it.**
That would be all for today friends. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.
I dreamed about snake
June 6, 2022
Dreaming a snake is very scarry and tend to tell us a very bad thing about to happen. It could be a betrayal or a self-sabotage.
*As always, a huge thanks to all of you, my readers and my sponsors. May God bless you all. Stay safe everyone.*
I dreamed of a huge snake in the previous night. It's around dawn when it happened and I wake up because I was so scared and my heart beats so fast. I was sweating and couldn't go to sleep again. And I keep on thinking what it really means. Or what is the message behind that dream.
In my dream it happened inside the church. I was standing in the ambo, reading the scriptures when suddenly a huge snake came out. It's like an anaconda type of snake. At first I was not aware of it because it was behind me. Not until the people were backing up slowly and exiting the church as fast they could. I don't have the idea not until someone shouts that there's a snake behind me. I could move. I was shaking and panicking. I could think properly what to do. My instinct told me not to move and hold my breath. I read about an article that snakes cannot barely see, they have blurred vision but they have high tendency to attack if they smell fear. I calm myself and close my eyes. Since people infront of me were panicking the snakes attention was more focus to them than me. So, I was able to escape. I run, outside the church, and a small child was eaten whole by the snake. Anyone couldn't move and did not save the child. I was shocked as well. When the snake is about to finished the people attacked and they tried to get the child. They were able to get her but she was already dead. The snake move fast and hid himself. We did not kill the snake. Everyone is weeping of the child's death.
Then, I wake up. Tears were flowing in my cheeks and I sweat a lot. I want to sleep again but I couldn't. I was scared and bothered. I search the meaning of dreaming a snake online and here's what it says.
*"In general, if you have a dream about a snake, it might be telling you something about an issue that has been troubling or frustrating you. In some cases, it might be a sign of self-sabotage and how it’s holding you back in other areas of your life. Likewise, a snake in your dream might then be a symbol of something you are avoiding. But the snake can also represent something good: regeneration.*
*It may also suggest that the situation is not what it seems and that there’s more to discover beneath the surface. If we think about snakes as being wise, then they can show us how to deal with things in life like fear or anger. Likewise, if the type of snake that you’re dreaming about is known for poisoning its prey, this dream could stand for poison — be it a toxic person or situation, or even jealousy."*
Source https://www.psychnewsdaily.com/dreams-about-snakes/
At first I am hesitant to believe about what the article says because more often we believe that snakes represents betrayal but as I read closely and understand things little by little especially on the current things that is happening in my life it suited me and the situation I am in. Yes, I am really bothered by an issue, it worries me so much and I am so frustrated about it. Yes, I am sabotaging myself. Holding unto the things that does not allow me to grow, to explore, because I am afraid. It's my first time learning that snake could represent something good like regeneration. I need to change something in my life. Dreaming snake means there's more than beneath the surface and indeed there is. It represents, being wise as well. But it could also be poisonous means toxic situation, attitude or even jealousy.
What I learned about it either believing it or not is that it is dependent on how I will view things and comprehend things. That it could mean positive or negative depending on my actions. A message that says I should be careful to myself and to the people I will be dealing with. Looking unto the things going right now. I am learning to become wise on handling myself and the decision I will be making ,like the snake. I welcome changes and am sensitive to others whether I am the poisonous or I am dealing with poisonous people.
How about you? Do you dream of snakes too? What do you believe as the meaning of it?
That would be all friends. Thank you so much for reading. God bless and stay safe.

Food for the soul: The Pentecost
Happy Sunday everyone. I hope everyone is having a good weekend and able to hear the Gospel of the Lord. Let us always finds rest and comfort in the lord, because we cannot find rest not unless we find rest with the Lord.
*To my dearest sponsors. I hope you are always doing great. May God give you more blessings to come to the both of you. Thank you so much and stay safe.*
Today's article is another food for our soul. The word of God that give life to our soul. Allow me to share this wonderful message to all of you. May your heart open up and listen to his wisdom.
**Holy Gospel according to**
**John 20:19-23**
In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be with you,'and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord,and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.'After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.

**Reflection**
The gospel today talks about three things, fear, peace and holy spirit. Therefore, I will be reflecting on these things to my life.
Fear
The disciples are afraid that is why they closed the door in the room. They fear that the soldiers might find them after Jesus was crucified.
Just like the disciples, we felt afraid as well. We fear on so many things in life. The unreached dreams and expectations, we fear to fail, we fear about the future, we fear of so many uncertainties of life. And the list goes on and on. To feel fear is normal. To be afraid is normal because we are human being, we have that nature to be afraid. Sometimes it's healthy knowing that we are afraid meaning we acknowledge that we are not powerful enough and we need God, who is in control of everything, in our life. That is why we need to ask him, surrender everything to him.
Peace
As the disciples felt fear towards everything that happened and might happen to them they don't have peace anymore. That is why when God came and stood in the middle, he offer that one thing to they need that very moment, and that's peace. He told them, " peace be with you."
Just like the disciples, we fear and we don't have peace anymore in our life because of that feeling. But this gospel reminded us that we could acquire peace through Christ who offer his peace to all of us. This only means that we could only acquire through peace with the Lord. That is why let us allow Jesus to live in our life so that we could acquire the peace he had given to us.
Holy Spirit
The Lord give the holy spirit to all his disciples, for them to speak any language to their listener to understand. The gift of holy spirit that enables them to spread the goodness of the lord in every human being alive on these earth.
Let us allow ourselves to receive this gift as well. Let us receive the holy spirit through the gospel, through prayers for us to be full of His grace. Let us allow the holy spirit to guide us and empower us to do mission, and that is spreading the good news.
Conclusion
Being a human being it's normal to feel fear but let us not allow fear to control us. Let us surrender everything to the Lord I'm order for us to have peace in mind, body and soul. Within those peace that we found, let us receive the holy spirit, a gift from God, for us to do mission and spread the good news of the father almighty. For us to gather more soul and introduce them to the Lord. For them to not fear and have peace and to receive the holy spirit as well.
That would be all for today brothers and sisters. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.

Four types of giver
June 4, 2022
Did you know that there are four types of giver? If you don't know and want to know about these types then continue to read my article. It's best to know what type of giver we are, ourselves.
*Happy weekend. Thank you so much for being with me at this moment. I thank you as well to my lovely and handsome sponsors for being with me for many months now. Thank you, thank you so much everyone. God bless.*
Today I attended another seminar. A teaching activity organize by fellow Singles for Christ in the community of Couples for Christ. Since I already an official member a teaching is needed for me to strengthen my relationship with the Lord. A covenant orientation was held. There are seven speakers for the seven topics. The seventh, is about loving and serving the poor. Serving the poor means giving them. Thus the different types of giver occur.
First is **reluctant giver**
This giver is always having a second thought whether you give or not to others. This giver tend to give because of doing what they like them to do and give what other needed in return. Sometimes this giver also give if they feel like it. If not then they won't.
Are you this giver or not? I hope not because we must not give half-heartedly. We should give wholely.
Second giver is **chooser giver**
This giver always choose whom to help. If they think people who ask for help is not worth of helping then this person won't gave anything.
Are you this type of giver or not? I hope not because God don't choose whom to help. Therefore we must not as well.
Third is **show off giver**
Show off giver gives only because they want to boost their persona, there ego and would give because there are people watching. Someone that tends to want to look good for other people. Anything that could boost themselves.
Are you this type of giver or not? I hope you're not. Because God wants us to give happily. Doing what makes the Lord happy and not just boosting your morale.
Fourth and last is a **compassionate giver**
This giver is the opposite of them all. Because this giver is not reluctant, do not choose whom to give not show off that they give just to be famous. But this giver give because it's the right thing to do. To help the needy and the poor.
Are you this kind of giver? Then praise God. If not then I hope and pray that give because we received many blessings for the lord.
Conclusion
I, myself can hardly choose what type of giver am I because I am all this type of giver. I am reluctant especially when I only have for my own. I am a chooser as will because I only choose people whom I would love or like to give. If they are not worthy of my help then I won't help. I am also a show off, giving because that's what others did. Sometimes I could be compassionate giver as well. Giving without having second thought. Giving without waiting for any return. Giving even though others won't see it.
We must do the acts of love because that what Jesus modeled us to do. He gives food to the hungry just how he perform his miracle feeding them with just loaves and fish and yet they are full, espiritually and physically.
How about you? What giver are you?
That would be all. Thank you for reading.
Calling to serve
Many are called but few are chosen.
*Happy flyday everyone. I hope your week ended nicely. Enjoy your weekend.*
*Many thanks to my wonderful sponsors. Visit them if you haven't. Thank you.*
June 3, 2022
Last Saturday, I was called to attend a seminar for the lector, cantor and commentator in our parish. Different people from different barangay came and attended but we are only few for the town's population. Yet, I am grateful to be one of the few chosen. Glad that the Lord had called me and I said yes on embarking another journey with him.
We started our seminar in the morning and continued up until the afternoon. We had 4 topics and 4 speakers. We also have an application to the learnings we heard from our resource speakers. To serve requires willingness and I am glad that I am more than willing to commit myself to the calling. We are four people from our sitio and I am choose to be a lecture from our group. We had our practicum and I am glad I don't have any problem regarding confidence and proper pronunciation, punctuation of words. Putting life on what I have read is very much important too.
It's always my dream to serve as a lector in our chapel and our parish. And I finally give life to that dream. I have learned so much on that day and one of the things I learned was to put good image as a good role model of the people in the community. To have good manners and attitude in serving. Reminding to self that it is not the people we serve but the Lord in heaven. To be able to last long and love what we do is to do things according to the Lord and for the lord. We might see ourselves better from other people because we serve but we are no difference from them we commit sins but the best part when we serve the lord is that we lessen our commitment to sins. We also do our best to become a good example to our fellowmen.
We are all called by the Lord in so many different ways, it's up unto us on how we respond the calling. Is it a yes? Or no? But let us be reminded as well to say yes all the time because the Lord always say yes to us. Waking up every morning is just of those things. I couldn't imagine if the Lord said no. I always hope and pray that I could last and commit myself in serving the Lord. Put him as priority over other things.
That would be all folks. Thank you souch for reading. God bless and stay safe.
Scam alert!
I know temptation is everywhere and it's up unto us if we will devour into it. That's what I have learned on this issue that got busted and is very trending on social media. Yet, again and again I get tempted with shopee. Another parcel have arrived in result to devouring myself with the temptations.
*Flexing my wonderful sponsors. As always thank you, thank you for your support.*
*Please do visit them if you haven't. Thank you.*
Alert! Alert! You got scammed by me. 😂 Cause the title was just a click bait. Sorry, I wasn't scammed by anybody else but myself. These parcel actually arrived and I got all the correct item I ordered. Correct color, size and everything. It's complete and in good quality.
What are these?
I actually am expecting them because you know I had history of returned exactly the same items I have shown you. I already shared the story about those items, it was returned and reflected as cancelled but I never cancelled them, no. But good news that after few attempts I finally had them. Horrayyy! this time I ordered it from another store though cause I am afraid the store won't give me a COD mode of payment because of what happened which is no one's fault. Anyways, so much about it. Let's move on. Just like what happened to Jason-Moira issue. Lol.
So, I received my parcel. My Crocs pink shoes, my two jelly sandals and the two kinds of masks, one for my nephews and the other one is mine. I was so happy upon receiving them because I am excited. I even love the quality of the product and rated the store five star with my good feedback. The pink Crocs is soft and very comfortable to put on, so as the sandals. It's worth it and very good from it's affordable price. The Crocs style shoe only cost me 78 pesos just almost 2 dollars, the jelly sandals cost me 59 pesos each just 1 dollar. I even added this two kind mask for kids and mine for me to apply a voucher for me to lessen my shipping fee. The masks cost me 14 pesos for the kids and 18 pesos for the adult k95 mask. It contain 10 pieces already each kind, 10 pieces for the kids and another 10 for the adult.
I also got the funny experience upon receiving my item. Please don't judge me, if I you think I am too shallow or what hehe. I just find it cute and funny at the same time. Whenever we had parcels, rider will call us right? In our place the rider or delivery man won't delivery my parcel straight to our door since our places isn't along the highway. He called me and told me that we will just meet in the highway, along the road. So, I, who thought it will be just receiving, I went to the meeting place without any further a do, lol what I mean is no fixing myself, no powder, no comb none at all. In short I leave the house just how I look. And oh! Take note that I already smell awful because I was sweating because the sun is hot and I need to walk going to the meeting place. The rider arrived and told me he did not bring my parcel, so I need to accompany him to the town because that's where he left his bag. In short, I ride with him in his motorcycle. As I ride with him, I smelled him, yeah, his perfume, and his smell so damn good. And not just smell, he look so good with his shades on while me was so stinky and look like I don't know. There and then I was so embarrassed like never before in my entire life. I did not expect that would happened. And I regretted it, million times.
Lesson learned from me to you, get dress wherever you go, fix yourself because you never know what might happened in between things.
I felt so intimadated again for how many years. After I got into relationship, I never cared what I wear or how I looked. But, that very moment, I'm sure I felt so embarrassed of how I look at.
Another lesson learned from me to you, fix yourself whether your single, taken or married. You do it to yourself not for other people. Never let other people judge you base on how you look, take care of yourself. Never allow yourself to look unpresentable just because other people might say something on you. It's never bad to fix yourself to become presentable to others.
That very moment actually was a reminder that I should look presentable at all times. Not for other people to feel good about me but for me to feel good about myself. Cause I never felt good about myself that very moment.
P.s I also get free ride from him going home. Double kill. 🥴😂
That would be all friends thank you for your time. Stay bless. Keep safe.

Carpentry 101
June 1, 2022
I've been hibernating for few days now and I guess it's time to wake up from my hibernation mode. Let's start from doing some carpentry.
*Hi everyone especially to my dear sponsors. I hope you are doing great. Let's start this month with a bang. Let's grind, grind, grind. Love you all.*
Today is the first of June and let's cheer for another month. Another month to conquer, and grind. Since it's a new month and the first day of June, I have decided that I will greet the month with positively. I don't want to spend the entire year with all those pain and stuffs that keeps me draining. Therefore, I need to do something, something that would make my time pass by without knowing but with productivity. So, today I try carpentry.
I never experience carpentry before, even though Papa is a carpenter. But, I always see him doing some work though. I think this day is a very good day to start doing some carpentry. Actually mama was the one asking for some shoe rack. She told me that we will build some shoe rack. I always wanted to have shoe rack as well so I am interested to make one. Shoe rack, here I come. 😁
For our shoe rack we need some hammer, meter tool, woods, bamboo, nails, pen and hand saw. I decided to use the woods for the stand frame and the bamboo for it's floor.
The first thing I did. Was to cut the same size for the stand frame. Cut some pieces to put up as the base as nailing piece for the bamboo floor. As you can see in the picture.
Second thing I did was to nail the cut woods. And forming some base in the stand frame. That's were my bamboo floor will be nailed.
Third, before putting the floor, I put some braces for my shoe rack to hold together. I put three pieces in line with the base for the floor. Since I had three layer, I put three braces.
Lastly, I nailed the bamboo on the base that serve as the floor. I just put three pieces every layer, well shoes is big therefore it won't fall anymore.
Taddaaa! That's the finished product. I know it's not perfect and I did not do it alone. Of course with the help of my papa. As I am still learning, I had to know how to do things correctly, especially on the proper handling of the carpentry tools. It's my very first time doing something out from my own hand and I am so proud of it. Though struggle is real before I achieve such outcome but it's all worth it.
I know I had to learn so many things in life and one of this is carpentry. I need to venture things that is out of my comfort zone. Just like what they said, and I qoute, " you will never grow when you are in your comfort zone". What I struggled today is worth it. The hammering of nailed, the sweating and the uneven sawing, reminded me of my life. I need to get together and do something about it. It's now or never. So I have decided in between sweat that I will be strong and courageous to face life and it's trials. Looking at my shoe rack, I believe that it's like my life, if I won't do something and continue to just snuggle in bed there's nothing I could accomplish. A reminded that I needed to try new things. That I needed to exert effort to extend extra mile out of my comfort zone for me to grow and even bloom. Maybe the soil on the other side have the more nutrients than where I am now.
That's all for today. Thank you for reading. Aja! Never give up.
I have died
Did you ever feel that you have died from inside out? What's the reason? And how did you overcome it? Today's article is about my demotivation that cause me feeling that I have died already.
*To my supporters and to my sponsors. I thank you a thousand times for everything. I am grateful and words are not enough to express them. Thank you so much. God bless y'all.*
Hi everyone. It's me again grace, writing another article about me feeling demotivated. I know it's not just today that I write one but I knew to myself as well that after this demotivation is a strong comeback. So, allow me to feel what's inside me then. I know as well some of you can relate to me, so bare with me folks.
It's been weeks since I feel that some part of me have died and it just radiate from inside out. Me feeling so drain because of demotivation means me on the bed all day. It did not just happened without any reason, it has deep reason, yes. I would share this to you, I won't hesitate a single thing about it since I decided to open it to you so why hesitate now. Actually, it's because of family not supporting my decision. It's a decision for the family not mine. I know it's complicated and I couldn't accomplished it with just me alone so I definitely needed a helping hand. But to my surprise they put me down and so, my motivation, my positive energy got all drained.
I know I had my parents for some reasons and part of it is to guide my decision making. And I knew to myself that not all my decision is right. I accepted that. But to know that every single decision for the good of the family wasn't supported was the turning point. I now don't have the energy to continue moving forward. That feeling that I study hard for the family, graduated for the family, work hard for the family and do everything I can for the family. Men, I ain't living myself. I am living for the family. And when family turned you down, which is the only reason you are living and having the motivation of everything you do, is a death sentence.
I felt I have died.
I don't know. I felt all my energy drained. I felt, I don't have the energy to continue living because my life had ended. The life that I am only living is because of the family. But then they snatch that out from me. So, I have died. I am present and aware. Very much aware of everything that is happening. I want to be of used but I don't have the energy anymore to work and be of good use.
I think I am paralyzed.
Now that my life had ended. I'm currently living like dead. Sleep, wake up, eat, sleep, wake up, eat and then sleep. That's how am I doing for the past few days. I want to move and help out but every energy left out from me. I don't know when and how it would be back. I just hope and pray it would. I would love to.
I know that I would overcome this death if I will rise and live for myself. Do everything for myself. I know I lost a lot. Tears and dreams but I know it happened for reason. Maybe just maybe in this way, very painful way I could throughly live for myself. Even though it means dying. Hurting. No, the right term is aching. The pain that pass through more than the heart but to the soul as well.
*To myself,*
*Please be brave. Please pray. God is with you. Never afraid to rise again this time for yourself. Love yourself. Do what makes you happy. This state of you right now is a reminder of your promise to yourself. That this year will be yours, your happiness, your dreams. I love you*. *Tears may flow but never forget that some flowers need to die in order to bloom again. Aja!*
That would be all for today folks. I thank you always for your time. God bless.

Food for the soul: unity
Happy, happy Sunday to each and everyone. I hope everything is doing just fine. And everyone is having the great time with their loveones and of course with the Lord. I hope everyone attended the mass and hear the Gospel of the Lord. If not yet, let us read the gospel today that I will be sharing to you.
The holy gospel according to
Gospel, John 17:20-26
I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me. I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.

Reflection
Have you known Jesus? Have you known the one that sent him? If yes, then the Lord Almighty Father is with you. As what the gospel have said and reminded us today that whoever send Jesus is the one that creates us. And with the good news his name and his goodness will forever be remains and be known to everyone. As the chosen one and apostles of the lord we have the responsibility to respond his calling and that is to proclaim his name. Now, my question is? Are you proclaiming the goodness of the lord toward other people. ? If yes, then praise God.
**How can we proclaim the goodness of the lord?**
Of course it's not just through words but also with actions. Let us proclaim his name and his goodness towards our actions to others. The kindness, the genuine love and care, the generosity, humblenes and all. We did this not for the other people to say good thing towards us but because we knew that that it's the right thing to do and that's how Jesus done as our role model. Its our missions to pass to the next generations his name because if not we failed as a his people.
We must be united in order for us to become better christian and member of the community. Just like how the Jesus united with God the father in heaven. One day we will too.
That would be all everyone. Thank you so much for reading.

A day to remember
There were days in our life that is very wonderful to look back. Our present actions will be our memories in the past. Let's make wonder memories then.
*Happy weekend to everyone. I believe this is one of the best weekend I ever had in this entire month. Wanna know why? Then stay tune.*
*Before I continue my story, allow me to flex my wonderful sponsors. They are very much worthy to be flex for their generousity. God bless you all.*
Today I never expected to meet my high school best friends. Aside from seeing rechelle from the previous day which I shared to you in my previous article, the owner of the dog I will be adopting, if you could remember. I also meet another best friend of mine, together with our circle with rechelle. He is he, and his name is Rommel. He's one of my guy best friend in high school. One that I could share any thoughts with. Today is their barangay fiesta celebration and I never expected that I could see him. It was really a coincidence that her sister is my neighbor's sister-in-law. Since my neighbor which my friend as well, went to her sister-in-law, we accidentally met because he went home for the fiesta.
After talking random topics, throwback and catching up of how's life and all, we agreed to met our other friends as well. We are four in the circle, five actually but the other one is in Manila so it's very much impossible for her to catch up with us. We chatted the other two, that makes us four. The first one, which is rechelle reply late and the other one did not reply at all. Since rechelle replied late, we meet late as well. We even went to her house just for us to be able to met and have a bonding moment. Luckily, her boyfriend visited her so we brought him with us. Her boyfriend Jake is no stranger to me because we chatted for couple of times and even talk via cellphone call. But we never met yet and it's our first time meeting each other. He's friendly just what I thought but I never expected him to have the same vibes as mine.
Going back, we went back to our friend, Rommel's house and eat our dinner. Since it's already dinner time. We did not have lavish food to eat but we are full just having the good conversation and good laugh while having our meal. Trying to look back some memories in the past, we all laugh out loud.
After having our dinner, we sit outside and decided to drink some beer. We talk a lot more stuff, different random topics. Love, life, faith, belief, politics, memories, memories and more memories. How we become friends and how we enjoy our high school life together.
**Conclusion**
Today was no ordinary day, it's a reniun of a friendship that lasted a long time ago. A friendship that is still stands amidst distance and lack of communication. It's just a very unexpected time but the best of all. Good thing we found new friend in the circle to replace the ones that was not there and another friendship that will holds each other for more years to come. I am more than happy. I am bless to have them all. I believe, it will be a day to remember for me in this life. One of a kind friendship and the best bond ever.
That would be all for today folks. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.
Storage full
We encounter full storage in our mobile phone even though we already have the highest specs and have the most expensive technology in life. It could be because of many apps or of many photos and videos. Sometimes having full storage isn't about phones, we could be full in life too. Because of many reasons, sometimes having the wrong person or not letting go of unnecessary baggages.
Happy hump day everyone. I hope you are all doing great. To all my lovely sponsors, thank you so much. Stay bless everyone. Keep safe.
Today I will be dumping to you few reasons why my mobile get to experience full storage. It's because of so much excess photos that I couldn't even get to delete even a single ones. Many of them saved from Facebook, other were screenshot through chrome.
What are these?
These different types of photos. Yes, it's type only because there are a lot more kinds of them too. First off is a minimal house design, second is a work out routine, third is life quote, fourth is is vanity mirror, fifth is trousers and last but not the least is a built in cabinet. I don't know why I have these photos and I have the hard time deleting them. Well, maybe I do love them that is why.
I do love minimal house designs and I am really planning to have a minimal house in the future. That is the reason why I am collecting them in my phone whenever I get to see one. Sometimes, I search it online just to see and view beautiful and creative designs. It's pleasing in my eyes and I get to get away with all my negative thoughts and seems to inspire me a lot to look forward in the future and move on with life.
I know why I save them, definitely. Lol. I just want to inspire myself to workout but why? Why is that it seems no impact on me? Haha . I continue to be lazy and never get to try them even though they seems to get all the space in my phone now. Everytime I look at the sexy photos I really wanted to achieve such body but every time I look at how the each photos try to teach me how to achieve such makes me procrastinate all the time. Gashhh! I really am lazy. I know it's a matter of mind over matter but I don't have the energy to start yet. I did started it last end of the month but it ended just few days after I started. I had reasons, and I get to live with it until now. Haha Still I believe I could soon. I need to.
Next is life quotes. I live with these one. I always tend to saved life quotes. I still remember how I would write many quotes before on my notebook. I always buy a spare note just for my quotes. Because I don't have phone yet before. Now that I have one, I make sure I save them and I love reading them from time to time. To remind me of life. To make me always stay on my foot and move forward. Because life must go on. And it did save me for thousands of downfalls in life. Off course with personal reflection and prayers.
I always dreamed of having my own vanity mirror. I know it is impossible for me to have one. Atleast in photos I could see such beautiful mirror. Vanity mirror for me is for rich people and I am not rich therefore no vanity mirror for me. Maybe if I get rich I could have one. In my dream. Let's dream baby! There's no pay for dreaming so let's dream big. Woohoo! Lol. Anyways back to our vanity mirror. I love to see myself in mirror especially on my good days when I feel pretty and all. Also in my lonely days, I want to stare myself and ask, why?
And these one too. I love to save photos of trousers. I just find them very much amusing in the eyes. Very satisfying. If I get to buy myself expensive things. It would definitely trousers. Not bags, not shoes, definitely not jewelry. I am not into those girl. I am into these babies. And I want specifically the neutral colors. Those basic colors is very nice to look at and could be worn in any occasion. And in any skin type as well -mestiza or morena.
Built in cabinet and house furniture. I also love this one's. I always found myself enjoying while looking at it. And I saved them for future references. These I know I could afford soon. And these ones that I saved in my gallery is sure present in my minimalist house in the future. Hehe
How about you? What gets your phone full from it's storage?
That would be all everyone thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoy.
Becoming a mommy soon
Being a mother is the best feeling ever. You will be excited and afraid at the same time. But the most important thing is that you will have the best gift ever.
*Hello to all my readers and to my sponsors as well. I think you so much for your support. I awe things to all of you. I hope and pray God will shower you with more blessings in life.*
So, I broke out the news to you already and yes you read it right. I will be a mommy soon of my cute little fur baby. Aweeehhh! So excited. 😂
Look at my cute little pumpkin. Ahhhww. I know it's too early to broke the news to all of you because my pumpkin is still in his week old but I couldn't wait to share this to you. Though this fur baby isn't yet in my arms because I cannot separate him yet to her biological mom because I can't provide milk for him in order for him to survive but we met already.
Earlier this afternoon, I visited my old high school best friend, since she invited me of their fiesta celebration. She is working in Cebu and she only take a leave for few weeks for the election and the fiesta celebration as well. We are so close way back that I think of her as my little sister. Though we part for many years and only met few times when I was still in Cebu but our bond with each other didn't even change a single thing. We were not college buddy anymore because we went to a separate school but we meet also during fiesta when she's home.
Today was a destiny as I thought it is. Since I never expected that I not just met my high school budyy but we will also have a future bond through this little fur that I introduced to you. At first we didn't mention her puppies but as we talked for moment the other visitor mentioned to her mom of adopting their puppies. So, I asked her if I could adopt too. And her mom happily told me that she will be giving all the puppies.
There are four puppies and they are all adorable. But mom only wanted a male puppy. I personally, I prefer male puppy as well. It's been few months that I wanted to adopt and take care a puppy myself and destiny draws me closer to this little pumpkins. I know I had to choose from them and there were only 2 boys and 2 girls, and the other male puppy was already owned so I pick the other one. My friend @Narenyl_92 picked the brown one, it's a girl puppy. We are both excited to finally adopt them and we even had an agreement that we will only let our fur babies mate for them to still have their good breed. Since shimmer, the mother of the puppies, has a good breed as will. She is a cute tiny dog, not a shiwawa though. She is a short like hotdog dog. Lol. But with thick furs covering her body.
I couldn't think of a name for him yet but I wish he will grow strong and healthy. After few weeks or maybe month now I will be picking him up again and live with me forever. I would take care of him like my own son and would give all my love for him a mommy could give to his son.
That's all for today. Thank you so much for reading. God bless and stay safe.
Good morning friends. For how many months I gather another soul, my best friend is on read.cash finally! Please welcome and visit @Narenyl_92. Thank you.
Art project!
Hi everyone happy Sunday. I hope everyone is doing great and you all hear the holy gospel for today. I can't make any food for the soul article for tonight since I help a friend doing her project. I would make it up tomorrow. I promise.
*Flexing these wonderful people. Please do subscribe them if you haven't they are great writer and nice people.*
It's been ages since I last remember I've done an art project. I really love doing arts and it's an opportunity that I get to help a friend of mine. She is having hard time doing it since she doesn't like art subject personally. What we will be doing is an anthurium paper plant. Now all we need are scissors, colored paper, pencil, stick and glue.
We will cut some paper into a heart shape to form anthurium flower. Then we will curl it's edges. Roll some paper to put in the middle of the rolled heart shape. Make sure to make a hole on the heart shape to fit the rolled paper then put some glue.
For it's stem we cover the stick that we prepared with some colored paper and insert it at the end of the rolled paper that we inserted in the middle of the flower. Then create some leaves. To make the leaves we cut some into our desired shape of leaves then glued it on its stem.
After I make one flower I make sure I teach her how to do it herself especially that it's her project. She is really happy that she got to have someone that would help her out with her project. She's a grade six student on our place and she tend to rant as to why her teacher asked them to make this flowers. I told her to stop ranting cause I will help her out. And she is absolutely happy.
After few minutes we already made some since they are required to do one vase full of paper anthurium flower.
**Conclusion**
Personally speaking as an educator, even if kids may seem to hate doing some project I could say project do a very helpful job to mold the kids emotionally and mentally. It teach them good values as well. On Ashley's part she is aware that she doesn't exile in that aspect in school yet she needed to do her best just to pass the subject. Because it requires her to do it. Project, create good relationship with others. It teach students how to be patient and would explore themselves of their strength and weaknesses. It is also important to teach someone how to fish rather than giving them the fish. Because not everytime you will be there for them. That is why I make sure Ashley would know how to do it herself.
That would be all. Good night. God bless you all.
I found his mate
If you could remember Peter our rabbit. I already shared him here in this flatform in my previous article entitled "Peter the rabbit". He is now 1 year old and his ready for mating. So, we find him his mate. https://read.cash/@ThisisGrace21/met-peter-the-rabbit-5d349504
*Happy weekend to everyone. I hope you take a good rest and recharge yourselves for the next week. Don't forget to recharge it with the Lord. Make sure to attend holy mass tomorrow.*
*Waving to my sponsors as well. Thank you for supporting me all throughout. God bless you always.*
Peter is 3 months old in this photo. He is shy and afraid to anyone in the house. But he loved to be cuddled and love by anyone too. He seems so lonely in his cage all by himself that is why even though his a little shy, I know he is happy whenever he is out from his cage and allowed to roam freely.
From a shy and afraid little rabbit to a friendly and fun one. Look at that how he look straight infront of the camera as we take a selfie. His now a fully grown rabbit and his fur changes from brown to black. I don't really know what happened but I guess his fur changes it's color because he matures already. Just like how chicks changes when it's grown up to a mature chicken.
Since Peter is already a matured he is ready for mating so we find him his mate. He is actually showing his chicksboy side whenever he sees a female rabbit. His quirky personality seems to unravel. We love him being a timid one but we love him more in his funny side. We feel Peter's loneliness lately that he doesn't eat a lot and shown his funny and lively side that is why aside from learning that his ready for mating his loneliness contributes to our decision of buying a female rabbit as well.
This is precious, she is still 3 months old and she is not ready for mating yet unlike Peter but we know months passed by slowly that she will mature too. We bought precious because we could not afford to buy a ready to mate rabbit. It cost a lot here. Even previous cost three hundred pesos already or cost about 6-7 USD. That is why we decided to buy precious and would patiently wait for her maturity. The seller told us that 6-7 months precious will be ready to mate as will.
She is shy and timid just like Peter when we first meet him as well. But we also knew she will be comfortable and become friendly as time flies by. We will be patiently waiting for that time to happen. The two of them already meet and by the moment we put precious in Peter's cage he immediately want to do mating with precious but we immediately remove precious in his cage because precious is not ready yet. She is not matured yet for mating but we believe she will be ready soon. We just tell Peter that he will be patient for her. Three more months and she will be. Peter is so excited and happy upon seeing her.
That would be all friends thank you so much for reading. God bless you always.
They're growing
May 20, 2022
Every day I see them grow, it made me happy and hopeful at the same time.
*Happy Friday to everyone. I hope you all are doing great. Special mentioned to my sponsors, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. To my dear friend Ola* @Olasquare *for the renewal. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you all.*
I already shared to you my little garden and today I want to have an update. Good news, they're sprouting already.
Horraaaay! Everyone seems growing happily. I only have 3 kinds of seeds for now since I couldn't buy any in the store. They get out of stock. I only have beans, kangkong ( spinach), and cucumber. And I am more than happy to share to you that they are now growing. It's been 4 days since I sown them, and there they are.
The first photo is my bean. It started cracking now and about to sprout. I think it's the slowest seeds that sprout among them all. Slow yet I am happy to see it grows little buy little every day. I don't really know how many seeds it is that I sown but I hope all of them will grow. I love to eat beans, it is full of protein and make you full for a longer period of time.
The next seed is my spinach "kangkong". Actually it's my first time learning that spinach comes from a seedling. I thought you could only grow spinach from it's stem. I also thought I wouldn't grown any of them because they also seems growing slow but I am happy to see it today. Finally! I am happy to know it grows because I am a fan of green leafy vegetables as well. I love making salad put from green veges.
Last but not the least my cucumber. They are actually the first to grow. My sister who gave me the seedlings thought it wouldn't grow anymore because it pass the expiration date. But I still hope and tried sowing them. Glad that I did because now, I see them growing fast. I am so excited to see them started crawling and would make them something to hold like a wall or something. Anything that could let them crawl freely.
I always visit them every morning. Talk to them like my kids. Always told them how much I am excited to see them finally say hi to me. My mom thought me those tricks haha. I would probably recommend it to you. Every morning I makes sure I water them and check them out, how they've been doing. Well, I think it's just me or all of the people who have their garden that do that.
**Conclusion**
Growing plants need patient, love and care. I am not an expert on it since it's my first time having my own garden. Growing them with my own hands but I would say if you will just invest to it, it will be worth it. I know it's too early to say this but I am already looking forward peeking their fruits. Too excited eh? Definitely am.
How about you? Have you experience having your own garden? Are we feeling and doing the same? Can I ask few tips from you to grow them beautifully?
Don't hesitate to comment down below.
Thank you so much for reading. That's all for today. Stay bless as always. Love yah 😘
Thank you for the sponsorship renewal dear Ola @Olasquare. I am more than happy seeing you in my sponsors block. May God gave you more blessings.
Once again fooled
Being fooled once is alright. Not everything was your fault but being fooled the second time around, your foolish.
*Happy Thursday everyone, especially to my beautiful sponsors. I am more than grateful of your support. Love lots. Keep safe and God bless.*
Have you ever been fooled in your lifetime? How did you feel about it? Did you put all the blame to yourself? Or to the people that fooled you?
As for me, I have been fooled again. Well, it's actually my fault though because I let everything to happened. I even let myself to be fooled again and I am the one to initiate the action. Therefore I need to face the consequences of it. Who fooled who? if your wondering who's fooling me around it's actually shoppe. I was fooled again by 5.5 sale and so I need to face the consequences of paying everything I checked out. Two of the products that I added came today. Two bags with different colors, a gray and a brown one. It's a cross body bag that is trend today. It's so affordable that I get to fit in the hole, I am fascinated with it and even get excited for it's arrival.
It arrived today and because of so much excitement, I went early to wait for the delivery man. I am hesitant to come in the main road just to wait for him but the thought of it returning to the seller and another cancelled item that would end up banning me for COD mode of payment makes me think, no way. So, I extended my patient longer and enjoy myself while waiting for it to arrive. Glad that it came correctly with no damage and right items. After the arrival of the parcel I captured photos and eventually rated the store.
I rated the store a five star and commented that I like the product for it's good quality and exact order that arrived. And I thank the seller for her honesty. I know it's worth it to be fooled with it. The quality is nice with the very affordable price. I am more than happy that I finally had trendy cross body bag.
I have few more parcel to arrive soon. I am not that exited unlike the previous items because the items were like the ones that I ordered before but it's cancelled. I don't set high expectations this time because I might get her at the end. Though I ordered it from different store and I added some items as well in order for me to reach the maximum and would have the free shipping option. It's not 100 percent though but it's already big for me.
I added some crox slipper that is very trendy this days as well and I get some masks, for me and my nephews that would go to school. And of course the previous cancelled item from the previous checked out in shoppe the two jelly sandals that I really like and is very trendy nowadays. I know I am not hundred percent sure if I could have them since it's been few weeks now but I won't stop waiting. Not with the same hope though.
Being able to trust again to yourself after being hurt from the wrong decision that was made. I would not put all the blame to myself because it's actually not all my fault but this time, I would say I am foolish because I trusted myself again. It's not wrong though to trust again and try again to stand after a fall out. But let's be responsible enough this time to shoulder the result and accept it whatever it is. It's okay to be foolish if the reason will be worth it. I hope everything try is successful and every failed attempts will be a lesson.
That would be all for today friends. Thank you so much for reading. God bless and more power to all of you.
Cheer leader
In the month of May fiesta celebration is in the air, everywhere. Almost everyday a fiesta celebration is celebrated in every barangay with there corresponding patron or saints, that's how it is in our town. How about your town?
*Happy hump day to my dearest sponsors. God bless you always.*
One of the event during fiesta celebration is basketball league. It makes the celebration more lively. And since we've got our team from our barrio, they get to play to different barangay as well. As a support to our team we cheer them up every game they play.
Off course I always got my bff cause she's the reason why I got to be present in every game. For the first game, first night we win the game. But for the second game we had we lose. It's not huge number of loss though just few points. They're team got few advantages though because they got 6 footers players while ours we don't have that 6 footers players just medium height. Yet, we accepted our defeat that's how sports play there will be a winner and a loser and when it's not our time to when acceptance is the key.
Tonight we play for another game, and here we are cheering for our team. It's 9:23 pm and few minutes more the game will start. I hope our team will win. May our cheer works hehe. Go! Go! Go! Team. Fighting! For the win!
The money for the winners isn't that big but we don't play for the money we play for fun. The most important thing is we enjoy the game. I hope the game will be clean and fun. God bless to our players, God bless team. Your win is our win.
(*Sorry na po medyu nadala* 😂😂*)*
I am not really fan of basketball game, I am not even a sporty type of person but here I am extending my support. A cheer maybe a small thing but moral support do. So I will shout at the top of my lungs. We are the cheer leader of the night. Not in costume though, hehe. Goodluck players. May the best team win. Whatever the result of this game, we are always open to accept it, especially winning. Lol.
Youths are encourage to be active to sports for them to be physically fit. Not just physically but they could also get good values and sportsmanship upon playing the game. Mentally as well because they need to figure out how to win. Their mental aspect will work too. It will help them surpass mental problems as well, such as stress and would help them scape the reality of the world. It could be their outlet too. You know boys won't voice out their feelings. Sports will be a good outlet.
That would be all for today friends. Thank you so much for reading. I will enjoy my time here. God bless.
After all the odds
May 17, 2022
Today is Tuesday and finally today after all the odds that I went through I finally received my salary from my substitution. Whew. It's almost a month from I started processing it. Funny thing is that, I waited for the bank to be processed and when I already have my account number I have known that my pay was already on check. Bravo! Bravo! Felecisimo Bravo! 😂😂 Oh diba? Masaya? Hays, anyways I can't do anything about it anymore so, I accepted that fact that I just wasted my time and effort, oh don't forget the money for my transportation. Well, it's kinda blessing in disguise na rin because if it wasn't release through cheque it will take much more time to be received. So much about all those rant. After how many years, I mean months I finally had it.
You thought it was already cash? No!. I need to in cash it and yes I was number 207 of all the client in line. I get in 9:40 in the morning and I get out 2:30 in the afternoon. Well, that how life sucks, let's just accept that. It wasn't easy, I was so hungry and I am so exhausted. Still, happy that finally I get to have my turn and get out from there. Since I was so hungry, I went to Jollibee to eat my lunch. When I arrived, there are lots of customers as well falling in line and it took me 30 minutes to finally took an order. It was 3:14 when I finished eating and went home. I arrived at home almost 6:00 in the evening. I was so exhausted.
You thought, I have much money? Because I just had my cash from the bank? No! Before I get to have that cash they already planned on how to spend it. See? Who's they, off course my family. I am not mad about it though, so what I did as I arrived home, I distributed the money. For my brother, since his constructing his house, For papa and mama and for my sisters. I am happy that I could help, especially that it's there first time holding such amount given by me. I am proud to say that yes. Because it came from my hardwork and sweat. It's not that huge though but that what I have for now.
After distributing the money, I went out with my friends since I promise to my best friend, the girl with glasses, that we will eat out when I received my salary.
We ate at Toby's place. They had their famous sisig and we decided to order to try it. And it was good. I am not fan of sisig but it's delicious. It's a pork sisig.
It's my first time trying their recipe as well. And I will rate a 9 out of 10. The serving is a reasonable price cause you will be full in 1 serving alone. I couldn't finished mine but I needed to because I don't want it to be a waste of resources and money as well. Many are starving you know. So, let's not waste food.
**Conclusion**
Today was a very tiring day yet it ended up happily. Even with all the struggles that I went through I am happy and grateful that I surpassed it and It ended beautifully maybe not the way I like it but the way God put it. I will honor everything to the Lord because I cannot do it without him. I honor the people behind me, family and friends as well. I am more than grateful to have them.
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading. Keep safe and God bless.
*Thank you so much to my dearest sponsors. God bless you always.*
Food for the soul: The renewed
There's no late time when it comes to reading and reflecting the holy gospel. It's anytime, anywhere therefore I will still write my usual food for the soul article even if it's not Sunday anymore.
*Happy happy Monday to my dearest sponsors. Thank you so much* @JonicaBradley *and* @foryoubtc09 *for staying with me all this time. May God give you more blessings with your generosity.*
Today is Monday yet I choose to write my food for the soul article, inorder for me to make it up to you as promised. Since I told you that I didn't write yesterday because I am tired and I can't focus reflecting the gospel so I will do it in today's writing.
Well, there's actually no right time on reflecting the gospel, it's anytime, anywhere you wanted. And if you did not able to hear it yesterday then I hope you could read it today. It's always good for us to reflect the words of God in order for us to be reminded so as be guided according to the right path right mindset and right actions in our day to day life. It's good to have something that we can ponder and check if we still are in the right ways of living. Alright, so much about it. Let's now read the gospel of the Lord.
**The Holy Gospel is according to the**
Revelation 21:1-5
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband.
Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them.
He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."

Reflection
The bible is talking about the new heaven and the new earth. It also says that the Lord will be with his people and be with them. It could only mean one thing, that **the Lord will come and the earth will be a new world. A world without death, a world without tears, a world without fear, a world that is full of happiness.**
Isn't it wonderful? Then why we will be of so much fright when we hear that the Lord is coming? Isn't it because we are not ready yet? Isn't because we are sinful and never reconciled with our loveones and to the Lord? Is it?
Everyone is afraid to die, especially with painful death and afraid of sufferings. Yet, the gospel reminded us that this world we are living right now is not permanent and will soon perish because it is written in the bible that it will be renewed. When? We don't know when or how, but if we look closely, with all the happenings of the world, the storms, the distractions, the war and all the things that doesn't seem normal it will make perfect sense. The Lord is coming thus we make sure we are prepared of his arrival and since we don't know when we must be prepared all the time, everytime. Yes, we are human and we tend to commit sins, that's our curse and we won't get away with it. But we must learned how to asked forgiveness to the Almighty Father and the the people we get wronged. We must learned how to get away with that sinful acts. Little by little with our prayers and the providence of the lord we will, we could.
Nobody's perfect, yes that's true and for that no human being had no sins but to atleast lessen those sinfulness is already a huge act that the Lord will be happy. I myself isn't perfect, I commit sins, such as cursing, gossips, lied, procrastination, and many more, but whenever I think of the lord and that I was about to commit sins especially if I am aware of it, I asked his forgiveness right away and instead of the acts goes continuously it will be stopped and interrupted. Honestly speaking, I am so sinful before I go close to the Lord through the Youth for Christ Community, yes I am active Roman Catholic, I go to church every Sunday, hear the Gospel and recieved the holy Eucharist yet my relationship with the Lord is dry and never grow deeper not until I join the community. When I found Jesus and accepted him in my life through the Youth camp, I am renewed. Not just one night and one blink of an eye but it was a process and a journey with the Lord. I am grateful that the Lord found me that very moment of my life and I know that even if his not yet here he is with me in this life. My cursing habits gone, because I would first think before I say something. Guarding my thoughts and my words for me to not harm anyone. Gossiping was lessened and when I do I always found myself stopped whenever I am aware that it's not good words that came out in my mouth. I would say I am not perfect because I still commit sins but the fact that my life is totally different from that of before, I could say I am renewed.
Conclusion
With that I say that let as not wait that the Lord will come and renew the world. Let us be renewed and God will come in our life and lived with us. Let us be renewed for us to be with God by the time he will come in this world. For he said, he will come in this world to judge the living and the dead. Therefore we will be judge if we are worthy to live with him in his renewed heaven and earth.
That would be all. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.

Preparing my little garden
May 15, 2022
As the well-known saying goes and I quote "when you sow you have something to reap".
*Shout out to my wonderful sponsors. Thank you so much. Keep safe and God bless.*
Hi beautiful people of read.cash. I hope you are all doing great. Today is Sunday and I hope you attended mass, hear the holy gospel and received the holy Eucharist. For today's writing isn't my usual food for the soul article because I am tired for today because I am preparing my soon to be garden. I couldn't focus on writing the reflection of the holy gospel. My apologies everyone. I hope I could made up tomorrow, I will do my best. As what I have said I will be sharing to you all about my future garden.
We have a small area in the back yard and I've plan of planting some vegetables there so I decided to spend my day cleaning and weeding the area. It was hard for me to uproot the weeds because there are a lot of woods and some coconut husk. The wet soil also contributed to harden the situation. It took me lone hours before finishing because of the situation. The grass that grows so much needed to be cut as well. As of my uprooted grass I put a fire in order to burn it and at the same time keeping the mosquito off from me. It's actually a dual purpose.
My hands get so dirty yet I am proud of myself. I am productive today and I could finally make a garden of my own, and from my own hands and sweat. It's tiring and I am so exhausted. It was like working out because I am sweating all over, head, shoulders, knees and toes but I know it will be worth it. 😂
I hope I could plant the seeds tomorrow because tomorrow is a full moon and the older said it's good to plant during that time. Since I only have cucumber seedlings and spinach, given by my sisters,I am planning to buy some seeds tomorrow in order for my garden to be lively because it's compose of different plants. I am really not a green thumb person but I know I could grow them, I believe I could. I will pray God for that. This is my first time having my own garden. Let's try new things, maybe just maybe I would love it. For even now I already enjoyed it.
I always love vegetables but vegetables cost a lot on the market that's why I couldn't afford to buy some. And I think of growing my own instead of buying. In this way I could eat fresh and healthy vegetable plus it would not cost me much. Just constant efforts and patients towards it. And they will grow. It's not about green thumb or not, cause when seeds touch the ground and take care off it would grow. And when it grow you can reap what you sow.
That would be all for today friends thank you so much for reading. God bless.
Congratulations
Congratulations to the newly wed Mr. and Mrs. Decamon. Also to myself of surpassing the role and play a big part of today's success. A round for a job well done. 😁👏
*Hello my dear friends, especially to my sponsors, I thank you all for your unending love and support. God bless.*
Married life is a journey with God therefore we must ask his divine providence through it. I am glad this two finally choose to journey marriage with God and I wish them more graces and blessings to receive. Congratulations to the both of them. Off course this journey was no easy and was very challenging before going to this part. With every struggles we see the beauty of life.
The beauty of having a loving family that supports all through out. Through thick and thin and would accept whatever spectrum you have place in life. The family that stands with you in solid ground and believes in you when you don't even believe in yourself. This couple had found great family with them. Such a wonderful picture of a flawed and not complete yet happy and strong together. There were no family from the grooms side since he came from Luzon. Though he still have mother but she couldn't make it due to financial issues.
The beauty of having true friends that you can count on. The groom may not have his family with him in this important celebration yet he has his true friends with him and that makes his celebration meaningful. Life would be more colorful when we have friends with us.
The beauty of having godparents as second parents, the newly wed may not have complete family members but their family got extend because they have they're godparents now. Having to see people that is willing to support and guide you althrough out the journey that you have chose in life, makes the journey more easy and light.
The beauty of love and it's sweetness. Marriage isn't all about bed of roses it also have thorns but when you conquire it together it would be nice. Having someone with you that would stick with you not just in good times but also in bad times.
The beauty of staying faithful towards the person you love amidst all the trials you've been through. The exchange of vows in front of the lord will makes your love grows stronger and deeper because God is with you in that journey. The ring that symbolizes the bond that you will have the rest of your life.
The beauty of happiness that the hearts contain because of the people that surrounds you. It could be anyone, family, friends, relatives everyone. The happiness that could erase all the uneasiness of the married life. Life isn't about being happy all the time but it's about choosing to be happy even with all the struggles that have been through.
The beauty of all the gifts that was given by God. The gift of everyday life, the gift of family, friends and every gifts that was given that the Lord has given through the people as the instruments. We may be struggling but we have people around us. We just needed to be sensetive to actually feel and appreciate every gift we have.
Conclusion
Life is beautiful. It may require us to choose the journey we want to walk through but if we have family that supports us, friends that cheer us up, people that genuinely cares about us and willing to guide us, and become more sensitive to all the gifts ang graces of God towards us as well as in line the will of god to ours then everything will go smoothly and accordingly.
The wedding was a successful one. I did my best shot to my role and I am proud of myself for being the designer, the host and at the same time the photographer. Struggling yet I love what I do and I am happy. Nothing can exchange to that. The bride give her thanks to me through giving cash but I did not want it. I told her all I hope and pray that when it's my time there will be people behind my back as well that would support me. That her words of thanks is enough.
That would be all for today friends. I couldn't afford to mention everything that happens today therefore I just cut few moments. I hope you enjoy and get a lesson or two. Thank you.
360 degree
Today I feel like I am spiderman, having to perform my jobs that requires great responsibility. It was like a 360 degree turn of almost everything and in every turn requires to leave a mark and be responsible.
*To my dearest sponsors, I thank God all of you for staying with me all this time. Keep safe and God bless.*
I wake up early today but here I am sleeping late. Trying to hold my sleepy eyes just to write something for today. It was just 5:00 am when I woke just to leave early going to the bank. I did arrive early at the bank and it was still close so I waited for it to open. And I finished my transaction early and gone home early as well. I arrived home at exactly 12:00 noon and I ate my lunch. Without having any relaxation I went to my neighbor right away to finished the task I am required to do. I put all the decorations I prepared for the previous days.
I finished putting everything at 4:00 in the afternoon and I thought I couldn't make it to the last novena in the chapel but I made it. It's the last novena for our fiesta celebration tomorrow. After having the last novena, I helped arrange the flowers that they bought just for tomorrow's celebration. I wasn't able to click some photos because I am so busy. Hmm, lately I always missed capturing things, especially on what I am doing. So, I will include it for my writing tomorrow. After, arranging the flowers for the altar, I went back to our neighbor where I design for her wedding tomorrow. It was already 8:00 pm but I don't have my dinner yet. So she let me eat first before we arrange tables and chairs and put some mattress with it. I went home past 9:00 almost 10:00 in the evening and I was so tired yet I needed to prepare for the flow of the program tomorrow so as the tone for the responsorial psalm for the mass tomorrow.
Wheeeewww! What a busy day indeed.
Conclusion
I did a lot of job for today personal and social responsibilities. From the bank up to the the church, it was no easy but I know I have to be responsible of the task that was handed and put up in my shoulders. It's a responsibility that was covered by my different roles in life. A friend, a neighbor, a daughter of my family and of God. The 360 degree of my life. Life isn't compose only for your personal so as your community. In every turn makes sure you have contributed yourself and leave a mark because life will not be a wholesome if it only one side that grows. Therefore, let yourself explore and grow within that 360 degree and be fruitful.
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading.

Doing and loving
As the well-known saying goes, and I quote, love what you do and do what you love.
*Happy happy hump day everyone. Especially to my wonderful sponsors. I hope your Wednesday goes very well. Be safe always and God bless.*
It's the second day of doing the same routine that I have. It's really tiring but I enjoyed what I am doing because I love what I do. So, even if it's tiring it's makes me happy. Seeing the product of my tiresome work makes me proud.
What are those task?
It's actually the wedding preparation that makes me busy this past two days after the election volunteer thingy. And this outputs were from the first day. Taddaaaa... I made the names and the rings as well as the silhouette couple for the back ground. Since I wasn't able to finished them yesterday I continued it today. Actually, I am planning to go to the bank today but I am hesitant because it's still the sixth day from the 5 to 7 working days they had given to me the last time I visit. So, I move my schedule tomorrow and I finished my decorations today.
I don't have any pictures for today's finishing moments because I was too focus that I did not remember to have some photos. I actually folds flowers, cut and paste them together. Anyways, I will just click some for tomorrow and give you an update, it will be exciting hehe. I am really excited. So, since I needed to go to the bank tomorrow morning, I went to bride's house earlier this evening and put up all the curtains so that when I will arrive tomorrow the only thing I would be doing is to attached all my decorations. I am all set just some few finishing touches and it will be good to go.
*Oh! By the way help me decide as to what design is better, just comment down below. Thank you.*
Conclusion
Two days in a row drawing, cutting, folding and pasting everything is so tiring but when you love what you are doing everything will be easy and enjoyable. My back hurts but I am proud of everything that I see. I hope and pray everything will be successful and turn out to be great. Oh my!! I am so excited.
I hope I could get home early tomorrow for me to start putting up everything at an early hour. I don't want to look haggard cause I will be hosting the event the next day. Wish me luck 🤞. That would be all for today. I need to sleep earlier than usual cause I need to wake up early as well.
Thank you so much for reading. God bless.
Election volunteer experience
May 10, 2022
It's my first time to serve on an election day and the first was a charge to experience. Upon learning everything I was really asking myself if I would commit myself the next time around.
*Hi to my dear sponsors. How are you? I am sorry I wasn't so active this past days and even haven't had time to write because I am actually busy. I hope you would all understand. Keep safe and God bless.*
Being a volunteer on election day wasn't easy and no joke. It was so tiring and requires a lot of patience cause you will be dealing with different irate people, who wanted to comes first in line. It was so challenging especially to those teachers who stand the whole day not barely eaten. Kudos to all teachers. I salute you all for your sacrifices, dedication and hardwork. I already share to you here that I attended a seminar for a parish pastoral council for responsible voting (PPRCV) for volunteers. And so I applied my learnings to the presinct I was assigned.
Before we go to our assigned place we vote as to where is our presinct for voting. And since we are assigned to different place we travel going to our presinct to vote. It took us few minutes late before we arrived to our assigned place. We consumed quite some time to cast our vote because the machine always jammed. Yet I am grateful that my vote has been casted so us my companion which is also a PPRCV volunteer.
We arrived at exactly 7:15 and immediately do our task. Since there only two of us, we need to have one presinct each because there were two presinct for voting. Since we arrive late there are already few individuals waiting and the voting places has been opened. We assist people get there number as per requirement. I am glad that there was also youth who would assist us.
My task requires standing thus my feet hurts though I had some time that I could sit, most of the time I am walking and standing. My job was to give people there presinct number and assist the members inside on what they need since watchers we're not allowed to move around anywhere they want at the presinct. I was allowed since I am a non-partisan and volunteer from the church. I also assisted people in the waiting area and would visit the voting place and observe inside. Thankfully it was all peaceful and the people were obedient.
We officially closed the voting at exactly 7:00 in the evening and printed our election returns, local and national. Since we need multiple copies, we need long process of waiting. We did not transmitted the votes because the signal is weak since it's raining hard. Whole day the weather wasn't good. So, we proceed signing the results and putting it in the envelop. Sealing them and distributing. We printed the audit receipts and gash it takes forever. It's almost 12:00 in the midnight when we are done with all the the process and we received the election returns that was intended for the church. Yet, we couldn't leave immediately because of the rain. When the rain slpws down a bit, we tried our best to report to the church in the town few miles away because we are so sleepy.
We arrived at the church almost 1:00 in the morning. We were so tired, wet and cold because of the rain. Still we manage to take selfie and smile amidst the tiring job and haggard look because we are happy of what we do. We are happy serving the Lord. We had coffee and we ate as well. Waiting for the storm to surpass. After an hour, we finally gone home. Praise God.
**Conclusion**
Overall the journey and the experience was great even though it was so tiring. Maybe if God will call me the next time around, I would still choose to serve as volunteer in the church. But if not, still I am much willing to do beyond being volunteer. Since teachers will be the one serving every election I would probably still be present but not as volunteer anymore.
I am glad I had the experience to witness how the election would go beyond being a voters perspective. It give me the total understanding to all the people behind the process and I admire them. They are like soldiers sent to battle that day and I could say they were all prepared. They serve with patience and happy heart (in my presinct per say base in my experience hehe). I hope we all see their efforts and service. Though maybe they are paid to do the job but the job itself was so tiring and I bit no one would be in the place if they don't love doing the job.
**How about you? How's your election experience?**
That would be all friends. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.
