BCH had saved me from
It's Monday again, another week has started and I am grateful that I survived for today. When Monday passed I would feel that days will gone by so fast. Tomorrow is Tuesday and Wednesday will come soon and Thursday too and yeyy it will be flyday again. Haha sorry Naman excited lang po ako.
Anyways, so much about Monday. Hehe Before I continue, lemme flex my sponsors.
*To all my lovely sponsors. Thank you, thank you so much. To* @foryoubtc09 *thank you very much for the renewal.*
*Know that you are all appreciated. God bless.*
Since the beginning BCH had become my savior. It really helped me a lot on many things from small to big things. I am much grateful being a part of this platform. And I am grateful to @Zhyne06 for giving me the opportunity to earn in this platform. Thank you for the patience ate I would be forever grateful to you.
BCH had saved me from
Home Credit Bills
I have my monthly bills since I get to credit a mobile phone to be in this platform. Since the beginning, my earning from this platform is what I paid for it. And proud to say that I had finished my 1 year contract for my credit, thanks to my BCH earning here.
Monthly Load
Since I earn BCH here I get to have my monthly load. I put different wallet for my monthly load thanks to my BCH earnings. Though I get to stop for few months after Odette because the internet connection is very much unstable here in our place. But this month I get to have the chance because I finally get active here again. I hope I would be consistent.
Emergency Bills
BCH had saved me from different moments that I need money for emergency aspects such as father's hospitalization after he fell from his work and injured his ribs and back. I get to cash out few thousand from my wallet. Thanks to BCH I don't know where to get money if I don't have earnings here.
PRC registrations
I also get to pay my registrations in PRC for different documents. And everytime I need some money in gcash for the online transactions, I am always saved by my BCH earnings. If I don't have my BCH I don't know where to get money to pay for the registration.
Helping a friend
My BCH earnings does not only saved me but also my friend and family. Whenever my friend need some gcash amount to pay for tuition or any emergency bills they need to pay, I can't say no to them because why not. I can't tell them I don't have when I do have, because they say if you say you don't have it will surely vanished.
BCH is a blessing to me and to my entire life. It makes money matters some what manageable because unlike before I don't have anything to spend whenever I need money especially for emergency bills because I don't have any savings or extra amount. When BCH came I could tell the big difference.
BCH not just saved me but also pampered me of my wants and provided me my basic needs. I could spoiled my mama for some extra fruits and bread. Simple things and needs in the kitchen. It's quite small but makes a huge difference. There is a huge difference from before I meet read.cash and earn BCH.
Few months from now I will be celebrating my one year here. I could tell more stories and could share to you how I become part of this platform and how I am as a writer here.
That would be all for today dear readers, thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. God bless you always.
Ayeeyy !! Kinilig ako hehe Thank you so much @foryoubtc09 for the sponsorship renewal. Super blessed to have you as my sponsor. More BCH sayu!
I am sorry, I forget to remember
To forget ones is normal. But forgetting the same thing twice and more isn't.
Hi beautiful people. Happy Sunday! I hope you are all doing great. Be brave and keep holding on to whatever struggles you are facing right now. And choose to see the good side in every situation. I believe it will get over soon and you will have what you deserve and ever hope for. Stay positive.
In today's writing is about being forgetful. I guess everyone of us could relate to it, am I correct? Those times that you forget something you just want to do. Or the time you are in the kitchen you know what you want to do or get in your room. But when you are in your room you forget about it. So, you decide to go back to the kitchen. Haha
Well, I am no exception of those moments and accept it or not it doesn't happened just ones or twice but many times. I don't know if it's because of the age or just a habit. Doctors says that being forgetful starts when you try to forget things and then it will become a habit. So better to not forget things before it would become tragic. Speaking of forgetting things, I remember that I forget to celebrate with you my seventh, eight, and nine months here. So, since I remember it I would have to have a late celebration. I believe the reason of not celebrating my seventh month was because of the devastation of the typhoon Odette that happened in the middle of the month of December and lasted on January. And I started writing actively again here on third week of January and since I had so many things to tell you I didn't catch up things. With so many reasons to tell I wasn't able to celebrate the eight and nine month as well. So, maybe I should make it up to you. Well, I hope I could.
There's not much happening on my seventh, eight and nineth month because I wasn't active here much until this time that I run my journey here for the tenth month. But I guess the wonderful blessing that happened within those month must be given thanks. Especially to the wonderful people who stayed with me all throughout those months. These people are none other than my sponsors.
To my dearest sponsors, I am more than grateful of your generosity. I know words wouldn't be enough to express how grateful I am. Yet, I will always tell you how happy and bless I am for the gift of you, as my supporters.
To my dear friend Ola @Olasquare you are always there since the first time we have interaction. You are a constant supporter as always. From being a reader to becoming my sponsor. Thank you so much dear. Know that I appreciate every thing you have done. May God continue to bless you.
To my dear friend @JonicaBradley I wasn't expecting another renewal from you since the last time you gave me a sponsorship because of a prompt that I have written from your community. Thank you so much. I am more than bless to have you as my sponsor and bless from your shared ideas from your prompts. You are saving us from writing crisis. Continue your community Miss Jonica, may God bless you with more ideas to share to us. Keep safe.
To my dear friend @Codename_Chikakiku thank you so much for the support. You are supporting me for quite sometime now. I am amazed of how consistent you are upon your sponsorship that eventhough I am not active for a long time now, you still continue your support. Know that I am super happy and proud carrying your logo. May God bless you always.
To my my college classmate @Murakamii.7 thank you to you too for the constant support. I couldn't remember when and how charr.. bitaw memsh I never expected that you will give me sponsorship. Know that I am grateful and happy that you gave me more than the support that I expected. More BCH to you memsh. God bless.
To my friend @Bloghound you too is a constant supporter of mine. I never thought you will renewed your sponsorship with me cause I am very much inactive here. Blessed to see your logo her every month. Thank you, thank you sis. Cheers to more BCH coming. God bless.
To all my readers and subscribers I can't name you all but it's you who is reading my writing now that I am awed much and grateful much cause you given me the support a writer needed to continue. Thank you so much for the undying support. Know how much I appreciate you and how happy and grateful I am to you. May God continue to bless you.
Last month 26, I stepped in my 10 months as a writer here. Two more months and I will be celebrating one year here. I may have forgotten to write and celebrate with you with those months that pass but learned that I am bless to have you all and just being here merely on those platform. I am beyond bless.
With those past months this platform had saved me more than once or twice. With my earnings here, I payed my bills. I payed emergency needs. I will be writing that in a separate article cause all I want to express here in this writing is gratefulnesd beyond measure.
I may forget to remember but you are always in my heart. I love you all dear friends. You may not consider me as one but you are all a friend to me. This is certain. May God gave you abundant blessings not just BCH but love, peace and good health as well. Keep safe everyone.
I have it all
Happy weekend everyone. I hope you are doing great. Inspite of the task and chores needed to be done, I hope you will take a break and not forget to give yourself a time to rest.
Despite of the rainy weather we have today. I am bless that there's no huge flood happened. Though last night we get flooded but there's no harm at all. So, all is well. God is with us.
Anyways, so much about that for today's article I will be writing a version of a have or have not. Yes, I already done doing have or have not before but this one is interesting and I haven't had this type of have or have not. This is a unique set of questions that I've got from @Princessbusayo 's writing entitled "have or have not (student's version)". It entertains me and I want to have my own version of it as I reminisce my school days while reading her article. So, here I am and thank you so much to you @Princessbusayo for allowing to write my own entry for this set of have or have not questions. https://read.cash/@Princessbusayo/never-have-i-ever-student-version-75a05e8b
Without much a do, here I go.
*Oppsieee! I must not forget to give my warmest regards and thought of gratefulness to my wonderful sponsors. They are such a blessing to me.*
*If you haven't visit them. Please do visit. They good writers and wonderful people. Thank you.*
Alright I will continue now. Hehe sorry about the ads. The set of questions are:
I have or I have not.....
•Skipped a class
•Cheat on Exam
•Forged my parent's signature
•Make fake excuses for being late
•Bullied anyone at school
Of course I have it all. 😂 Yes, I am honest and I'll tell you that I have.
I have skipped a class
Skipped as in absent for no reason? Or skipped as in cut class? Well, as for me I do both. Haha
I skipped class for no reason, in my high school and college days. I couldn't remember if I do in my primary years because as far as I remember mama will be angry if I will skipped class and as a honest and afraid of my mama cause I know she would be furious if she would learned about it. But I do fake my fever or cough or tootache, headache -any ache sometimes if I don't really want to be on class that day. But when I was in my secondary, I tend to skipped class without going home. Sometimes I just stay outside my classroom and skipped class, be in the library sometimes or just stay in the plaza other times. I was bored that is one of my reason. Other reason was I don't like the subject or the teacher. 😂
I do skipped class like cut and jump outside school premises. Especially on days we have school activities. I tend to get out of school premises via jumping out the great wall as in "pader" 😁😁
Well, I do it not to be with friends and get drunk but I usually cut class and go home via jumping the wall and sleep in our house. Since our house before was at the back of my school.
I do skipped class without reason and without faking sickness during my college days. Sometime because I fell asleep. Most times because I got lazy.haha sorry nemen mebeet kese eke 🥴
I have cheated on exam
I can't remember I have on primary but I guess I did. But I do remember I did on secondary. I even remember how I did it. I wrote the answer on my lap for me to have answers especially enumeration type of questions. It was a successful trick but it wasn't applicable in college anymore. Since my skirt was fitted unlike high school and the other pair of my uniform was a trouser.
But I did cheat on college but not to the highest extent. I just asked my classmate what's there answer. Especially on math subject. I was really mathematically challenge type of student therefore without any ninja moves I bit I couldn't pass my math subject before. 😁
I have forged my parent signature
I did especially on excuse letters and parents consent form. It was just an excuse letter on my high school days but it was a consent papers on college.
I did know my parent's signature because both of them just only write their full name in cursive for their signature. Since during college my house was very far from my school so I am the only one signing my excuse letters and consent form. I even forged it on my thesis book. Shhhh, don't let them know. 🤫
I have make fake excuse for being late
Well, I did this a lot. Like a lot of a whole lot. Asked me why?
It's because our house is at the back of the school, I heard everything that's going on inside the campus. And I hate flag ceremony, I hate announcement and I hate my first subject teacher. Therefore, I was always late. My adviser/first subject teacher was always furious as to why I am always late when infact my house is very near. I never told her the real reason behind. I would always told her I wake up late or I am not feeling well. Haha
I did as well on college but at minimum extent. I always tell my teacher that I got to run errands or some teacher asked my help or attention like I am being called at the office. Other times I told my teacher, my previous teacher got release us late.
I have bullied my classmate in school
It's not the same bullying nowadays though, it was just a bullying whenever we lost score with some games. Or if he/she smell awful in the class. Or he/she is a bully too.
I don't bully because someone can't read or write. I don't bully someone from poor family because I am poor too nor from a broken family and is growing without mom or dad. I don't bully kids who were left by both parents or was raise by a single mom.
I bully whenever I see I am got to be under by people who is bully as well. I stand still and give their in own taste of medicine. I choose whom to bully because I know how it feels to be in there shoes.
Looking back on the memorize I have on my childhood. I could tell how naughty I am and I could laugh with those funny memories especially the skipping sessions and how I get to messed up my school uniform and how I get to roll over the compose pit. 🥴😂 Silly me.
I am not proud of it cause it wasn't good and it wasn't something that should be proud of but I guess I am grateful and happy to have them in the back of my memories. I have something silly and funny to look back.
That would be all for today readers I hope you enjoy my entry. Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. God bless.

The rain is pouring so hard here in my end. I hope everyone is safe and I hope it will stop soon. If it won't, I believe it will flood. The rice that are intented to be harvest this month will be destroyed too. We don't have electricity here as well it's so dark. Please pray for us.
Why April 1st called fool's day?
Happy 1st of April Read.cash people. I hope March ended blissfully and April brings out more blessings to all of us.
Today's article is a personal question I have in mind and I don't really know what is the answer of this question. Maybe a bit of labelled has been done, yet I can't really gasp the deeper reason as to judging April base on there personal experience. Maybe if you have known kindly enlightened me.
*Happy April my sweet sponsors. Thank you so much for keep supporting me. I am more than bless to share this journey with you. May God shower you with much blessings everyday. God bless and stay healthy.*
I have read this post on Facebook just a few minutes before writing this article but even this morning while I was on my way to work I already asked myself "why it's called April fools' day?"
And this was the answer I get from my own perspective:
Someone got fooled on April
Maybe, just maybe there's this someone who was fooled on the 1st of April and labelled April in general as the month of fooling. He or she might tell some other people that this month April is a month of fooling because base on his her experience of being fooled.
*e.g April 1st is a fools' day Kasi niloko niya ako sa araw na Yan.*
Fooled and played through ....
• Feelings/emotions
Many tries to fool someone today through telling their feelings to someone they like but is afraid of rejection thus they tell it and later they will say it was just a joke.
Many as well try to tell a feeling that wasn't true and was intend to make fun. After telling and was believed by the other person they will tell them it's a joke.
Some tries to prank through pregnancy. Announcing they are pregnant just to make fun of the people around them. Getting videos on how they react or what will they say upon learning the whole prank. Pregnancy is not a joke. It's a blessing and a responsibility comes after. So be careful.
Others would try to prank death. I don't know if there is but let us say there really is a prank of death. Is this funny? Just to have some entry of April fools' day? Some would cry but after learning others would definitely be angry. Death too isn't a joke.
•Actions
I do watch videos of a prank through online services too. Like, a lot. Ordering some foods or anything, pranking the service crew or rider. I don't laugh at these. They are trying to earn just to have something to put on their table so better never do it just for the sake of April fools'.
A prank of a gift but it's not really whats inside or something that could scare. Some are funny, others would definitely scare them to death. I won't recommend this in general. Some would have a heart attack and would probably die.
Who is the one that invented April fools' day? I hope it's not you or me. I hope let's cut the trend of April fools' day. Fooling anyone doesn't give you any real happiness. Why did I say so? It's because someone might be hurt or ruin. Someone might have expected it but it's just a prank. Someone might not believe you anymore when you will tell the truth. Do you hear or remember the story of a shepherd in a certain village? If not then try reading this.
*"In a small village a young boy was payed to guard the sheep. His boss told him that if he would see any fox coming, he will shout from the cliff and people will immediately come to help. When the boss is gone the afternoon seems so quite and the boy felt bored. Then he thought of an idea. He shouted from the top of his lungs that the wolves are coming and he needs help. As the people heard it, they immediately come, leave their chores and find no wolves at all. The boy was laughing holding his stomach and told the people he was just making fun. Another day came and he done the same and the people like the other day came rushing and find no wolves and again the boy laugh and was catching his breathe.*
*One afternoon, the wolves really did came. And when the boy shout form the edge of the cliff, there was no people came rushing to help him. All his sheep was eating and died."*
I know you already knew the moral lesson of this story. So, I won't repeat it for you. Learned a lesson or two and asked yourself. Is it right to do such things? What if it happened to you? What if you were the one who was fooled? Are you going to be happy? If not then think again.
And I hope, soon April would not be labelled by something was not done by April alone. Let's not put the wrong labelled to April when infact we are the one doing it ourselves. Or let's not make April suffer from our own experience. I hope you get my point. April could be someone, anyone, or everyone.
Happy 1st of April.
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. God bless.
Thank you so much sis @Bloghound for the sponsorship renewal. Super blessed to have you po. Apaka swerti Ng April ko, bwena Mano hehe. God bless.
Throwback Thursday @First
Happy Thursday everyone. Weekend is coming only one day ahead. Ayeeh, Friday makes me excited, Monday makes me hate the rest of the days 😁😅.
Anyways, I will share some throwback this Thursday with some of my first in the past years. This throwback was triggered because of my mare @Yzza0625 post entitled " Recollecting My Firsts". While I was reading her post I couldn't hold myself to reminisce the past. So, I asked her if I could do my version of first, and she said yes. Thank you mads 😘. https://read.cash/@Yzza0625/recollecting-my-firsts-73afaca1
*Before continue to reminisce my firsts, Let me greet my lovely readers and sponsors. My heartfelt thanks for your undying support. I appreciate you all. God bless you all always.*
Without further a do, here's my firsts ☺️. I do hope you will enjoy.
First Crush
I remember my first crush happened on my first grade. Sorry besh medyu kiatbels Ang Lola niyo 😂. But it's true, 100 % legit. And it lasted for six years. And yes, you read it right. It lasted for six years. With that young age I admire my classmate/ neighbor/childhood friend. Haha
It started when he stole a kiss from me while I was sleeping on my desk. I hated him for doing that. I didn't know that behind those hate was a secret admiration with him. Within almost five years he did not know that I had a crush on him. Not until my best friend told everyone in the classroom. It was a very shameful moment of my primary years. I was so furious that I unfriended my best friend. I would agree that best friend would be your best enemy. That's why I don't have best friend today.
Anyways so much about that, parang Ang layo na Ng kwento ko 😅, going back with my crush story. He did learned about my feelings and he don't have the same energy I have given to him. His mom learned as well and she always teased me whenever I pass by at their house. I do feel some batteries, iste butterflies on my stomach but it didn't last long.
Time came, I was tired anymore. Six long years was enough for the person who would never even look back at me. I decided, and promised myself that I will end my crush on him whenever I step on secondary. And I did, congrats to myself. Haha. Goodbye six long years.
First Boyfriend
I would not forget my first boyfriend as well cause it was a puppy love gone wrong 😂😂. Let's call him Jayson. Me and him first meet in a church choir. He was a perfect definition of tall dark and handsome, in my own sight lol. He was gentleman, for everyone I guess. But I was a bit of feelingera haha. I thought it was just me though he told me I am special. He is the reason why I always am present at the church practice, Sunday service and every fiesta we had to serve. Sorry lord 🥴😬. Fast forward, he courted me. We had the same sparks. But we need to hide it because it's not allowed. Months passed we had a smooth relationship, not until my family and his family was invited with a common friend. My papa asked me to show my respect to his parents because they're my aunt and uncle. What? Really? As in? Though I was confused at that moment I complied.
I message him and asked if he knows everything, that we are cousins. He told me he know not too long before that event. I was furious and asked him why he did not told me about it. He said, he likes me a lot and he don't want to hurt me. My goodness! I am thankful that I have known it early, before anyone knows and before our relationship takes deeper. I don't want to had issues because I had relationship with a cousin. It would be much harder than that. I blocked him and show that I am angry at him because of that. We did not see each other for many years. And the time we meet again he had family already.
First break up
My first relationship wasn't my first brokeness. I consider my first break up with my third boyfriend, because only him I cried a lot and felt that I could not live in this world anymore. Chuss drama but everything was all a feeling. Haha. I consider it a a break up because he is the first person I felt really broken. I questioned my worth and my capacities. I had my insecurities and trust issues after that. Because of that brokeness, I hardly found the courage to love and be in a relationship again. Well, whenever I look back with that memories it was a blessings in disguise. And I thank God I did not give in with those brokeness.
Every first in our life is hard to forget. It could be good or bad experience. Yet, it become part of us in the past. It is a factor contributes from who we are and what we are today. On how we act and decide. As for me, the rejections and the brokeness makes me wise and careful. Though I have the scar inside caused by a broken trust but I am thankful that there's people willing to mend those scars and accept me for who I am today.
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading. Keep safe and God bless.

Unqualified
There's this time of our life when we want to be in that place to play a certain role but basically we are unqualified.
*Happy, happy hump day to all my wonderful readers and to my dearest sponsors. Thank you for your warm support. I appreciate you all. God bless.*
I was browsing in my Facebook feed just this afternoon when I found this post. It interest me because I am very much open to apply different job if ever I would have hard time landing a good job in my field of degree. And it has a good salary offer. It would not be less from what I needed and expected to have. So, I am curious and read about it to learn more.
My interest raise quite well and I am intrigued. Thus, I continue reading and I found myself clicking the link to apply. Upon registration there are options to choose weither to continue apply or read the qualifications and two more options. I click qualifications to clarify and for my effort to be not wasted. It's quite shameful too if I will apply and will not have what it takes to qualify for the job. I click qualifications and continue reading. I have read the following:
• Bonifide Filipino citizen
I am qualified yes because I am a pure Filipino citizen. No questions about that my physical appearance is the good proof especially my nose 😅.
•Graduate of any four year course in college
Still qualified because I am a graduate of a four year course in college. Let's continue reading.
•Must be 1.52 height for female and 1.57 for male
Upon reading and anlyzing how much 1.52 is. I realized I wasn't qualified anymore because of my height. I am just 1.49. By that I stop reading and close the portal.
The job offered was a good one. I am willing to venture on that side of the world as well yet my height is not qualified. In short I am not qualified. I feel down, it's a good opportunity wasted as for me. Looking on the other side, I say to myself "Maybe it's not for me. Maybe it's not where God want me to be". Behind those positive mind I also have my negative thoughts " If and if I am that and not this, I should have more opportunities coming."
I know I don't have the right to question what has been given to me because others don't have what I have but I am not an exemption of having a human nature o having doubt. Behind those doubtful soul the Lord reminded me always that He had a special place in store for me. A place where I am needed and valued a place where I could do my purpose and my mission. I know I have to believe and have faith.
Closing the page and my feed. I clear my doubts and my uncertainties. Face the world with much hope that someday I would be in the place where God wants me to be. He has the power over anyone and anything in this world thus I will entrust everything to him.
In life we want to be in a certain place to play a certain role but sometimes we are not the right people to do the job and play the role. The qualifications are not the measurement of your worth and your value. Don't make it as the basis. It's not because you don't fit with the standard, you don't have place to go. You have. You will be. In God's perfect time.
That would be all for today my beloved readers. Thank you so much for reading. God bless you all.
The corridor of my memoire
Passing by to that beautiful corridor of my adventurous memoire, makes me feel very nostalgic and at the same time happy.

*Shout out to my wonderful sponsors. Thank you so much for all your support. God bless.*
Happy Tuesday everyone, since I am in the mood of throwing back today, I want to share to you some of those memories that we share that we missed a lot.
Last Saturday, me and my friends had a short gathering and we did what we do in the past years, something that we missed doing a lot. In our busy schedules we always wanted to give time to each other and spend some time together doing the things we wanted to do.
We cook different food, such as preserved shrimp "uyap" and we also prepare green mangoes, we cook our own recipe of "kamote fries" potato fries and some pop corn too. I also prepared my new found garden juice for us to have some refreshments instead of soft drinks. And of course watching movie would always be present. This is what we enjoy most.
This is what I told you, the preserved shrimp or "uyap" in our own language. I don't know what's the English of this recipe. We saute it with union, garlic, put some pepper and sugar. We eat it as a sauce for our green mangoes. We slice the mangoes to make it more enjoyable to eat. In the past we always loved to cooked this food whenever we craved and eating it while we watch movies.
Next, was the potato fries. In the past we have lots of potatoes in our boarding house because mama had a whole garden of potatoes in the backyard. Since we are tired of eating it in it's ordinary steamed form. We create a better recipe of it. We make some fries. We slice it into a usual fried form and deep fried it. Put some cheese, and a lot more cheese to make it delicious.
Of course movie without pop corn isn't complete so my friend Shem cook some because she bought some of it the previous day. We put cheese to it as well and shake, shake, shake it. And eat, eat, eat it.
To complete the food package was my garden juice. It's actually my new found recipe chuss hehe. I've learned it from the working student of my boss in my previous job. If you have hard time understanding it then, just let it pass hehe I had hard time explaining it too. So, to make this garden juice. I had some four season tang juice, had some lemon grass, carabo and orange. I do need some lemon but I wasn't able to find one but still I pursue my garden juice. I boil the carabo, I don't know what's the English of carabo hehe sorry. Together with the lemon grass and the lemon supposedly. Then mixed it with the four season juice and put the slice orange. Taddaaaa! presenting my garden juice. Haha
And to complete the gathering of course we have the movie. We search the full movie of Gal Gadot the "death on Nile" but we found none. (If you already watch it pls share me the link 😉 t.y) So, we end up watching "the witch: the preversion" a Korean action movie. We still enjoyed it through since the movie is also great. You can watch it if you haven't. You can search it on, bilibili app.
The gathering turned out to be successful. Though we run out of time and need to depart from each ways, we have a happy heart with us. Even though some of our friends wasn't able to make it because of some valid reasons we still have fun and hope some other time they could join us. We plan to have some get together soon, an overnight if possible, to have plenty of time. Have some movie time and chika time as well.
In life, recreating some good memories in the past is fun and fulfilling. Knowing that you just don't have memories with you althrough out the years but reminding that you have people with you that you can call friends. Sometimes you don't need long hours of hearing and sharing dramas to get out those pressures, heartaches and pain but you only need a good food, good movie and good friend by your side, who is enjoying the same moment with you. Sometimes to be able to escape from the reality is to bring back the past that remind you that you are not alone in this life and in this journey. To be able to refuel our energies to resume life, it's realities and it's worries.
I thank God for the gifts of friends. And I always love and treasure them for the rest of my life.
That's all for today my lovely readers thank you so much for reading. Keep safe and God bless
What happened to Monday?
Monday is one of the seven siblings in the movie entitled "What happened to Monday?". If you have seen this movie you will know what had happened to her. But today I would tell you a different story of Monday.
*Lead image from Unsplash*
*Shout out to my lovely sponsors. Thanks for your support. It means the world to me. Love ya.* 😘
Monday is the first born thus she called Monday. Since she is the first she had all the pressure in the seventh of them. She must be the model. She must be this and that- all the positive things she could ever be. She have a lot work to do and reports to pass.
Tuesday on the other hand is the second born. She had no so much pressure unlike Monday because she could adjust what is expected of her behavior since she could see what Monday do. But she hate her role because she needs to continue what Monday had started.
Wednesday as the third is a spoiled one yet she must comply what is expected of her as well. Though she won't be of that pressure like Monday and Tuesday she could be with friends in secret. She could wear her favorite pair of jeans as well.
Thursday is a timid but smart one. She almost knew what to do and what needed to be done since she memorize what Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday do. Thus, she don't have in any pressure at all. Yet, she must finish everything before Friday came.
Friday is the fifth born. She is a happy go lucky one. She don't need to rash things unlike Monday. Her lapses doesn't barely seen because she is the third to the last. So, she had the chance to do the things she wanted to do. Sometimes, she could let Monday finish her task.
Saturday is the second to the last of the seventh siblings. Saturday is the chill one. She had all the time she could have while all her sister is busy doing there task. Though she had so much hate her role of needed to do the chores because there's no other siblings assigned aside from her. Yet, it's fine for her because she could relax after doing it all.
Sunday is a religious one. She is the seventh sibling. She always went to church. She could be of any religious gatherings like bible sharings and prayer meetings. She has all the good values that expected to be seen to the rest of her siblings. She could enjoy many companies of different people.
Upon seeing that every hard task was done by Monday and all the pressure was on Monday. Monday hated everything and do everything to let everyone feels the role she play, all the pressure. She works hard and become the CEO of the company. And she became mean. She cut the chill persona of Saturday, and the enjoyment of Sunday. She makes everyone busy just like her. She makes everyone wakes up early. She makes everyone continue the task that wasn't finished by the happy go lucky Friday.
If we asked what happened to Monday? Monday becomes the villain. The villain everyone hated.
-FIN
It's Monday again people. And I, myself hated Monday. Haha
How about you? What happened to your Monday?
By the way thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. God bless.

*Huge flex to my dearest sponsors. God bless you all. Thank you for being a blessing to me. Keep safe always.*
I don't have anything in mind today after attending the mass. Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay on my bed 🎶 (by Bruno Mars) 😅 I hope you sing with me. Haha
Anyways while laying on my bed, I have come to realize how am I being a woman. And I couldn't gasp the reality of how complicated I am, and I always be. Maybe it's because sometimes even I couldn't understand myself. Let me share you the things that makes me say women are indeed complicated.
Today is the last week of the month and I am waiting to be visited by my constant visitor which is my period. I don't have to worry yes because I couldn't be pregnant without someone sleeping with me. And there's none, so why worry? I am worried because it's not usual that I won't have my monthly period. And it would mean a very painful process of menstrual flow by the time I will have it. Not having period once a month means something wrong with me. I am not understanding myself right now cause I feel so much pain of almost everywhere, back, hips, legs everywhere. My breast is sore as well.
I am hot. Hehe not feeling sexy though but hot as in my skin is in high temperature. Sometimes, I felt I am about to explode and I am angry of almost everything around me. I have short tempered attitude. Little things would trigger me and I become easily irritated.
I crave food like mangoes, junkfoods, burgers, pizza, soft drinks, chocolate And many more. I have tendencies to either eat a lot or eat nothing at all. Sleep a lot or not sleep until dawn.
I don't want to look fat but I couldn't help myself eat my favorite food. I am lazy at exercising but I want to be fit and slim.
I tend to be more sensitive and have lot of dramas. I easily get upset of small things, like not given enough time or attention. But I don't like to be the center of attention though. Cause I don't like to be judge or be misunderstood.
I cried at small things and laugh on small things as well. I am not hard to please cause food would make me smile. I don't like given flowers but I want to be appreciated. Give me something that is not pricy yet useful. Cause we'll fight over things that would cost a lot. You know money is hard to earn.
I don't want to be by your side all the time cause I want to travel and explore the world too. I don't want to be too dependent and too independent as well. I want some cuddles too especially during my bad days.
I don't want fights but I always started it. Please don't argue or else it won't end. I don't want you to accept that everything is your fault cause I will see it that I am the bad person.
I want you to do the things you love but not when your happy doing it without me. I want to do my own thing with you by my side. If you don't get it. Then so am I.
I am a woman and I am complicated. If you can't handle me, so am I to myself. I wonder why it's like that?
Happy women's month. I salute to all women out there. Whom inspite of having hard time managing themselves, giving patience to themselves yet have the huge heart to manage others especially their loveones, kids, husband and the whole family. Kudos mga babae. Inspite of having hard time understanding ourselves we tend to understand others more.
Woman, I tell you, whatever you've been through today, please be reminded that you are more than the things you have learned and comprehend. You are a woman. A gift. No one could play the role better than you do. So, keep it up and be strong. God is with you.
To all the man whose reading this. Please be patient to us. We may be very hard to handle that's because we had a lot of issues as well yet we could be who you wanted us to be. Just give us love and we could give you so much more than the love you have given. Be a man. Don't be afraid to love a complicated woman because she is a gift and you will be bless upon loving and understanding her. It could not just your girlfriend but your sister, your mother, your aunt, or just random woman you could meet.
To all my readers, thank you so much for still reading me. I appreciate you so much. God bless.
Open letter to my Ex-friend
I never thought our friendship could end just like that. A friendship that was build with long years of trust and love. Does it really end? Or I am the one who will decide to end it? Do I have to end something which was long ended?
*Lead image from Unsplash*
*How are my dear readers and sponsors? I hope your doing great. Sorry for being inactive, quite busy for some reasons. When all this be done. I will get back on track.*
*Continue to be safe. God bless you all.*
Lately, you're all busy, of things and life itself. I understand you though but whenever I constantly ask how you're doing. And I hope we could meet some time. No replies just a constant "seen" as always. I thought there's no busy days when you value something, thus you put time for it, is it? Or it's just how the way is see it?
When I read my inbox waiting for replies for days, months and years. There's none. None at all. My heart broke into thousands of pieces. Reading it makes me cry. It was all me begging your time. Is it? Or it was just you who don't really care?
Well, yes! I cried. Tears won't dry unto my face. Many nights I questioned myself of why and what did I do wrong? Reflecting, looking back but I see none. It was just our friendship was lost and forever be gone. Is it me who took it for granted? Or did you?
I am tired of waiting. I see no hope anymore cause I am out already. I couldn't gasp any on my pocket. Therefore, I end it myself. Yes, I will end it because in the circle, you left me and I am all alone. Should I stay and wait more? No, I guess I won't anymore. When I see you never even look back on to the circle. When I see you don't have any second thought of leaving at all.
I am hurt. More than that I was broken. A thousand of pieces. Cause you two are part of me already. But then I can't continue to live that part when you are no longer there. Our friendship was drowning and saving it myself won't work. Therefore, I have to let it go. Forget the long years of laughter and tears, of success and failure together. I should accept that's its over now.
I thought that circle was strong enough that would last a lifetime. I thought it was enough because I gave my all. Because I nurture and watered it with time, love and trust. But I guess it will never be enough. Now I believe that the only constant of this life is change and so us our friendship. That nothing will last in this life forever unless it was made by choice. And you make a choice not to.
Still I am grateful that you become part of my life. A part that was written in that few chapters back. I have learned with those years. I am happy with those years. I know I might be missing you, even now I already do, but I could do nothing but to let go. I won't hold you in that circle that I thought was our friendship live when you already leave.
I hope life would be better for the both of you. May you be successful and happy. May you find friendship along the way. It won't be just like ours but I hope you won't do what you did. May you realize that friendship needs time. Friendship like any other relationship needs two to tango. It shouldn't be just one who need to give but everyone should work for it. Like any other relationship friendship should be invested with time and effort, with love and trust. No lies, no cold treatment, no talking behind back. No negative energy. Never allowed no communications. Never allowed silent treatment. Never allowed others to break it. It's your friendship. You should hold it through thick and thin. It's a gift, never waste it. Never take it for granted. Because if you will asked me, who was once left out, if I regret it? I don't have regrets but I wish should have invested it to the right people. One that will not break me like this.
That's all I guess. I won't stay long in this letter because it won't change anything. Stay safe and God bless you.
~FIN~
Your ex-friend,
Grace
Thank you so much @foryoubtc09 for the sponsorship. This made my day. More blessings and keep safe.
Struggle is real
Behind every success is struggle that has been surpass.
Hi wonderful people. It's Thursday, and weekend is coming again shortly. I hope you are doing great amidst all the happening in the world and in our daily. God speed us all.
*Happy Thursday to my dear sponsors. Keep grinding everyone and soon we will have what we desire. Keep safe.*
I wasn't able to write yesterday because the circumstances did not allow me to. I was in a travel and I just get back today. As much as I want to the internet connection is very bad that it almost get me into trouble. Thanks to my friend who rescue me. I tell you it's important to have circle of friends who will stays with you through thick and thin.
Today, I will be sharing to you the struggles of yesterday and how am I doing right now. Of course with the lesson that I learned with those struggles.
I already share to you the appointment that I will be attending. Yes, that messed up, screwed appointment that I get to have because of my clamsiness. Yeah, your right that's what I am talking about. Anyways, I woke up early and travel for almost three hours and get myself in the agency. I thought I could end the process earlier successfully but just before I am right exactly at the door. I realized, through the paper that the other people was holding, that my paper isn't the right paper that I printed. Yes, another clamsiness of mine. So, instead of making myself enter the door, I stepped back and gone to the picture city and planned to print the document.
Easy piecy as I thought but no, that was not easy because there's a lot of people lining and when it's my turn and as I send the documents I couldn't get it done. I don't know what happened, I do have internet connection, I have 9GB for all sites. But why the heck I can't send a piece of document via Gmail. I ask the attendant if they have another ways for it to be transferred but they told me they have none. Looking not far from me the line of people to the agency gets me frustrated. I walk out from picture city and I walked myself to and fro. Teary eyed I don't know what to do. I buy load from my gcash thinking that my simcard has slow data connection at the place but still I couldn't send it. I am about to break down and I don't know what to do. So, I sit down and I prayed the Lord.
"*Lord, please help me. I don't know what to do. Please, please help me. Please Lord.*"
Few minutes later my messenger rang and a friend message me. Just a simple *"hi labs" (labs is our endearment, short for baby loves).* I ask her if she can help me with my problems. To make the story short she help me send the documents that needed to be printed. But we still have lot more struggles before we able to do that. I let her open my account in the agency and open my Gmail. We had lot of errors as password wouldn't match. We tried everything and I prayed so hard to make it work. And praise God it did work. She is such a blessing that very moment. I get back in the line to the agency and I was a bit worried since it's quite long now.
But I am hopeful and had lot of faith within me. Thankful because I surpassed the challenge and here I am surpassing another one. I patiently waited, until it was my turn. I excited the building at almost three o'clock in the afternoon. No breakfast just five bread and still don't have lunch.
I don't feel any hunger that moment because I am full of blessings and happiness that finally everything went just fine. I rude a cab going to the terminal with a smile in my face. I thought I could go home peacefully, but no. Just when I was about to ride another cab in the terminal. I search for my purse and realized it was gone. OH MY GOD. Trying to search everything in my bag but I couldn't find it.
"*Good God! All my money was in there. How can I go home now."*
I don't know what to do. I reach my phone and message the only person in mind. Few minutes later, he responded and another miracle happened.
Along the way, I prayed the Lord.
*"Lord, thank you so much for today. For the blessings, for the struggles. For the safe travel and for the people you used as an instrument. Thank you so much for being there when I needed you. Thank you so, so much Lord."*
A few minutes silence and I remember it was ash Wednesday and the Pope is calling to pray for Ukraine and Russia so I did.
" *Lord, today is ash Wednesday and few more days we will be reminded of your great love and sufferings. I pray to you today for the war between Ukraine and Russia. I pray oh, Lord for peace, for love and for compassion. Lord please be with those people who suffer, heal them oh Lord. Help those affected. Be with those who suffers. I pray for the peace of Ukraine and I pray for compassion of Russia. Lord, cast the greed and evil desire of Russia whatever it is. Give them the gift of love and compassion. Lord, give the people of Ukraine a hope, faith and strength. May you will be them oh, Lord. I pray this to your mighty name, your son Jesus who lives and reign with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever. Amen."*
I continue my prayer with the Apostle's greed, our father, hail Mary and glory be.
And end my prayer through saying "*Holy God, Holy Mighty one, holy immortal one. Have mercy on us and of the whole world. Holy God Holy Mighty one, holy immortal one have mercy on us and of the whole world. Jesus king of mercy we trust in you."*
Back to the reality of the world I am traveling to the place of someone close to my heart. Seeking some refuge for the night to come. It was almost dark when I came into there house.
Early this morning, I travel back home with the money I barrowed from that same person. Praise God for his unending love and mercy. I arrived home safe. *(When I say home, I am in my work place.)*
In every successful story that we see and hear from the people around us. Learned that they've gone a lot of pressure. Just like the Gems, put into the fire to shine and see it's beauty. Yesterday was a struggle and a blessings. I see God with all those times. I was reminded that struggles are made to let us realize that God is present, and he is the most powerful. And whenever we struggle call people you trusted and close to your heart. Struggles are to be shared with them. They might help ligthen those burden.
The struggles are made for us to feel the peak of the success. Not success of it's high definition though but achieving or having simple things fall into our desire and it's places.
Success is sweetest when we undergone struggles.
Don't be afraid to stepped back if needed to find courage or just rest what matter most is you get back on track and willing to continue to fight.
In every struggle pray to the Lord. He will make anything happened. Have faith and never lose hope.
Note:
*Sorry if I included my prayers, and it's every word, it is for the purpose that while you are reading you are also praying with me.* 😇🙏
That would be all for today. I will be resuming my work now. Thank you so much for reading. God bless and keep safe.
I took the test
"There's more than the bad things that happened" -nightbirde
*Greetings to my wonderful sponsors. I always appreciate you all. God bless and stay healthy.* 😘❤️
Today a lot of things happened. It's compose of good and bad things. But I want to remind myself of what nightbirde had said, that "there's more than the bad things that happened." And indeed it is. Bad things is part of life. Sometimes though we tend to see the bad things that cover up those good things behind it. Sometimes we fail to realize that there's more than those fine lines, that we call blessings. I hope we could appreciate and remind ourselves that " there's more than the bad things that happened".
My first day of march started blissful but of course we couldn't have those without experience some struggles. Life couldn't be more beautiful without it. My morning starts with a good news and I praise God he answered all my prayers and plant a hope within my doubtful heart. Within my worries and my pain. He reminded me today that He is working in my life little by little. And I believe yours as well. So, since he work his way through I work my part as well. Without second thought and without wasting time. I move letting things flow as it is. It's good to let things flow on its own ways. No worries, no frustration. To continue, I went downtown and took the test.
In between those times, I was tested as well. Physically,financially, and emotionally. The nurse that attended me get me irritated as her instructions wasn't clear and she seems off. She got this attitude that I don't like, not personally but the way she handled patients. She has this awra that tells you "since you need my service, I have more power over you" that feels. Not said but the actions says it all. I did not mind her at all. I am remain calm and obedient. You know what when you are showered with grace by the Lord you are all the more patient and kind. I waited for the urinalysis, the one that you need to pee for the test. When I told her I will pee. She told me am I sure? Cause if not she won't let me pee if it can't fill all the bottle that needed to be filled. I was hesitant, cause I don't know how big that bottle is. But feew more minutes I felt my kidney will blow any minute so I ask the nurses if I could pee. But they told me I will be assisted and the assistant was not there yet. Really? Oh my God. Still, I waited patiently trying to hold myself not to pee. Few minutes past, I already had goosebumps because of the urgency to pee. So I asked again. That moment I couldn't hold myself and I told them what I am feeling, my situation provoke me to be out of kindness and patient. The rest was history. To make the story short I peed and she told me to not stay longer in the comfort room and I told her I need a lot of time cause of I had a lot more urine to release. By the reason that they let me hold it for too long. After the test, and signing all the documents. I hurried myself out. I don't like the people there and I don't like how I become because of them.
*Sometimes people will provoke you to become the worse version of yourself. Sometimes they are the reason why you will be out of your character and forget to become nice and polite. Please don't let them.*
After letting myself breathe the air outside. I leave the place and forget everything. It doesn't ruined the mood. I don't want that to happen. Whatever the situation is, you are the one to decide how to handle it. I went straight to some place I wanted to visit to look for things I wanted to buy. Had some street foods to feed my hungry stomach and then head home.
I thought things will go smoothly. And things won't go wrong. My converted money from my earnings here was process successfully. I register for appointment tomorrow and I thought it will be successful too. But I'm wrong. I had a big mistake upon scheduling and I had separate schedule for different papers. I was out of myself and blame myself for such clamsiness that would cost me a lot of money. Good God, how can I be so fool. With much anger I hurt myself and cried it out.
*Blaming doesn't do any good. It doesn't change things. So, I exercise proper breathing and tamed myself. Inhale, exhale. Breathe in, breathe out.*
"*It okay self. You tend to do lapses and it's not the end of the world.*"I say to myself. I calm myself and pacified by saying "I'm sorry self". After that I kneel down and pray.
*Lord, take this feelings away from me. Heal myself. Forgive me. Let me forgive myself. I don't want this.*
Few minutes of silence and I was okay.
Well, I may have different schedule for same agency but it's fine. My medical result would be out the same day as my next schedule. The Lord will put things in order. With faith I intrusted everything to the almighty God.
Today was a roller coaster emotions. But I have learned so much. From forgiving others to forgiving myself. From happiness that could spread more love and patients to anger and pacifying through praying.
My day end productive. More than the bad things that happened I believe I am blessed by the Lord. And that is more.
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading. God bless. Stay safe.
Rain, rain go away!
Rain could be enjoyable but it could be a struggle too.
A cold morning everyone!
It's been three days of consecutive raining and there are lots of bad effects that rain had given to us here on the other side of the globe. We don't know if there is typhoon or none since we can't access television yet here in my work place. Yet, there is only one thing that is certain typhoon or not when rain comes around there will be bad effects to us. Let me tell you what are those.
*Flexing my wonderful sponsors.ay God continue to bless you all.*
*Visit them if you haven't. They're good writers as well.*
There quite few to mentions when it comes to the effect of raining. Some of these are floods, landslide, Lossing of electricity, cold weather, and lot more connected effects from those I have mentioned.
Floods
When raining season comes due to typhoon or just the weather, we always tend to be more affected because we stay in a low area and is near from the river and irrigation. I already share here few instances of flood situation in our place. Not just a problem of safety but floods can cause lot more problem such as landslide and ruining of plantation and other farming activities. It's will become a domino effect for us. And sometimes we worry more to our plants that we spend money and efforts just to have some harvest in the expected time, more than our safety. Like today we worry for our rice field that my sister had put a lot of work. It started to have some grains now and it's worry not just us but all of the farmers today.
Landslide
Since the typhoon Odette the road going to our place isn't safe anymore. The area where landslide happened keeps eroding. And whenever rain comes landslide happened. Just the issue yesterday and I believe if rain won't stop the mountain keeps on collapsing. Especially that the soil there is brown and sticky ones just like the soil used in making jars and pots, it's very much prone to erode. The issue of the area as well is that water comes down from the mountain. Most of the side of the mountain has small water falls and the like will appear during this rainy time and sometimes it can cause accidents in the road.
Lossing of electricity
When rain comes lossing of power is expected as well. Sometimes the officials will tend to turn it off to prevent accident or more damage. Other times it will be interrupted because of the damages already. Just like this morning the power was interrupted due to the long hours of raining. I just hope it won't be for too long since we just connected from the neighborhood who have electricity already. Whenever rain comes especially for too long we expect power interruptions and we tend to charge the things that needed electricity such as mobile phones, flashlights, and other gadgets.
Cold weather
Rainy days brings cold weather and more likely to make us stay in bed and do nothing. But for some of us cold weather is painful especially those who have health issues and undergone CS or Cesarian session from labor. My sister always complain when rain comes for she can't sleep will becomes of her CS operation. It hurts during cold weather. Her knees hurts as well during cold season. I don't know if she had bone illness but I guess she is more likely. If we notice people who have bone problem such as arthritis suffer during cold days maybe I presume since she is suffering such on cold times she had arthritis as well.
Accidents
Accidents is highly prone when rainy days than sunny days. It could cause a lot of factors may be from floods or from landslide. Either of the two the main reason is rain.
For some of us rain could be enjoyable but most likely rain could cause problems and worries especially to farmers and poor individuals. Those who have no good housing and shelter. Those people who are in the streets and people who have farms.
If rain continue for more days, I don't know if rice fields and other crops could be of use. So as the road could be accessible. It will be hard for me to go home for the coming weekend as well. Let's hope and pray for the rain to stop because there are a lot of people become affected.
How about on your end, does rain visits you this past few days? Do you like it or not?
That would be all for now. Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. God bless and stay safe.

Bon appetit!
Celebration seems complete when food is prepared especially if it was prepared by people who love you.
Since I was one of the major major charoot Lang ..😂 assistant cook slash tagahugas (dishwasher) last Wednesday, the birthday that I shared to you here yesterday. So, I had the chance to have a peek on the food that we have prepared. That's why today I want to share this to you all.
*Happy Friday to my lovely sponsors. I hope your weekdays end just fine. Keep grinding. Love you all.* 😘❤️
Food is always present when a special day is bound to be celebrated by family or friends. Sometimes it made ordinary days special too of course with the people we love and love us.
For Tatay Dodo's birthday is special to all his family members. We prepare few things for him. Few recipes for the blissful 75th birthday.
First, we have on the line is bola-bola. Bola-bola is a ground pork with carrots and other ingredients mixed together before rolling into your desired size. We intentionally rolled it in small pieces so that we won't have hard time cooking it cause when it would be bigger, bigger time it would consume in frying. We don't want to spend the whole day frying bola-bola
Pansit recipe will never be absent on birthdays. We Filipino believe it is a secret for long life. 😁
We choose to cook pansit Miki for this occasion since it's requested by the daughter who intitiated the event herself. If you see the plating is so good and of course the taste as well. So what are you waiting for? Let's eat. 😂
Next is shrimp. We just saute the shrimp together with the other ingredients and then put some sprite and wait as it simmer and then add some salt to taste. Unions was cut to design.
It's one of my favorite recipe whenever I attended celebration I always binge myself eating this one but in this event I wasn't able to taste even one bite huhu.
This fish sinugba was requested as well by an in law of the family because this is one of his favorite. So, we intended to grill some fish for this occasion. Excused us for having unpresentable sit up for this one the plastic was required for the food to not be plague by flies. There's a lot of flies everywhere. Anyways we cut some cucumber for the grilled to look good and it could be a nice combination for the grilled as well.
Next is Humba. Meat pork that is also always present in every Filipino celebration. It is cook in soft, sweet and soury flavor with Laurel leaves and seeds. Filipinos love Humba and never forget to have them during special occasion because aside from the delicious taste, Humba could last for few days. It would not spoil and could be more delicious as days pass.
Buffalo wings is like sweet and sour with a twist. Chicken wings and thighs is well-chosen and fried for this recipe. After frying, the chief make the sauce for the fried chicken. Then, mixed the chicken to the prepared sauce. And a sesame seeds is added after to create more pleasing taste and plating.
The last we have here is fruits and garden juice. We bought fruits for the garden juice as well as the fruits to be displayed. It's my first time to drink garden juice. But this juice has been a traditional drink of the family.
Garden juice is made up of four season Tang juice, a sliced apple, pineapple, mango, orange, lemon grass, *karabo* and lemon. The karabo and lemon was heated before mixed into the juice.
It's very much refreshing especially when it's cold.
We also have some sweet potato for the people who don't want to eat rice.
There are some recipe that was not cooked by us such as the letchon of course 😂😂. And this two. The members of the family ordered it themselves.
Here is the full table set up
For all the delicious food I shared I hope you are either full or hungry right now. What are you waiting for let's eat.
What do you think is the best recipe to all I presented? And what recipe do you want to try? Comment down below and I will make a full article for the ingredients and procedure of the recipe.
That would be all for today. I actually gone far from the schedule of publication for this article. My apologies. Thank you, thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. Keep safe.
Me and the busy day
The day pass by so fast and today is Thursday. Another weekend is coming around and one week more February will end. The day seems in a hurry lately and I couldn't cope up with it. I wasn't able to write last Tuesday and yesterday because of a very busy day. For this article I would like to share to you what makes me busy for the past two days.
*Greetings to all my sponsors here. I always appreciate your support everyone. God bless and stay healthy.*
What did I do last Tuesday?
Last Tuesday, I work half day as requested because my boss' wife asked me to accompany her working student Angel to go to the market to buy some goods for the celebration of her father's 75th birthday. I said yes and we go to the market after lunch. Before we go to the market she asked me to prepare my things because she wanted me to go with them in their hometown. At first I was hesitant but I don't have the guts to say no. So, I agreed. We go to the market, and buy the things we need. We go back and forth just to find the needed ingredients for the birthday preparation.
After buying the things we needed we wait for the people that would pick us up for us to ride going to where the birthday would be celebrated. We go to Sogod terminal and wait there. I was tired and hungry running the errands so I eat some street foods. *(Sorry if I don't have any photos to share, I was starving that I couldn't think of taking photos anymore.)* While waiting, I attempted to open my Facebook account but I failed. The internet connection is very slow. So I decided to observe and look at the people around me just to buy some time and would not feel bored.
While looking around I see this two being lovey dovey. I feel iratated. Tssk it's pain in the eyes. I know I'm not bitter it's just that I don't want to see lovebirds anymore after my sore eyes seeing a lot of it on Facebook on valentine's day. After few hours, our wait was over.
We ride for one hour going to our destination and we eat our dinner at 8:00 pm already since we are the ones who prepared for it. We get to sleep late because we make some salad and other preparations for the next day celebration.
It's Wednesday!
Since the celebration is for dinner, we made the preparation the whole day. We do have companions in preparation and they hire for the decorations. We are assign in the kitchen. I run errands. And become assistant for cooking. And washing some dishes. After few hours we done preparing all the food.
It wasn't a lot since only family and close friends would be coming. It was prepared in the terrace and table was set up outside the house.
From 5 am to 5 pm we prepare the food without any problem and without a short of time and budget. The program started at 5:00 pm and ended at 8:00. We start cleaning at 8:30 and end 10:00 in the evening. It's very tiring, working non-stop. But it's all worth it. The celebrant was happy and we enjoy the celebration as well. With all the delicious food and the warm presence of the people in the house and the whole family. It warm my heart and work with happiness.
I know it wasn't part of my job anymore but I did not regretted to be there on that special day of a father who work hard for the family and was able to put all his kids in good state in life. Our effort was all worth it because he deserve it. I wish him more happy years in life.
Only few people nowadays could reach the age of seventies due to illness and any health issues. Yet, this man celebrate his 75th with good health. Kudos to you Tay and to your great faith to the Lord. You deserve it. My boss' wife is her first daughter and was the one who initiated the event together with the help of her sisters.
Looking at them made me wanting to strive to reach my dreams for me to spoiled my parents as well. For me to celebrate with them in such extra special ways. I believe all parents who work so much for the family deserve such treatment. Kudos to all parents out there. A job well done to all your kids.
Just a short sharing, we got home at 12 am last night since the family had a conversation after the visitors' gone. We need to go home since my boss' wife needed to work for the next day. I sleep at 1 am and wake at 6:00 am. I'm tired. Huhu
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading. Pasensya medyu sabaw Kasi pagod at kulang pa sa tulog Lola niyo🥴😁. Thank you, thank you. I appreciate you all. 😘❤️
Out tonight
Everyday could be special day with someone special. But not every special day would be special without them.
As much as I love to write an entry for Jane's challenge, which is story about love or valentine, I wasn't able to. So I guess I would continue to write how's my valentine's day going but not as an entry for the challenge.
*Happy happy Valentine's day to my dearest sponsors.* ❤️❤️
I wanted to greet you all here a happy valentine's day. Though my greeting is halfhearted but still I wanted to greet you and I don't want to erase the essence of today's celebration just because I have something heavy load inside me.
Today is just like the ordinary day. Nothing special. Since it's Monday I work my ass off until sunset. I love to reach some people through video call but internet connection wouldn't allow me to. This is one of the reason of my bad mood. I ended up registering promo for call. I don't want to miss greeting my mama this year valentine. That's the only thing I could do for her. I don't have any cards for her this year. So, I render my small time to her just to create a good talk to her. Hearing her thank you and greetings as well lighten my mood. I could see her smile on the other side while we talk on the phone.
I miss her so much. It's almost three weeks now since I did not come home. And she is all alone today because papa went for a out of town work with my brother. They was hired to work for a house and couldn't come home for two weeks. I regret I did not come home this weekend to see her or celebrate with her the valentine's in advance. But it's fine I couldn't done anything anymore. So, I am thinking I would be going home next weekend and would have a late celebration with her.
After we talk. I lay in bed and greet few individuals on messenger. Seeing a lot of post on Facebook about there valentine's day made me envious. Haysss SANA ALL. At first I thought it would just be for fun telling them I hope all because they recieve different gifts. But after some time. I get envious and eventually get tired. Then I stop.
Few minutes I was called for dinner. I went to the kitchen but it's quite and nothing was prepared for dinner there. I search for them and found them outside with this.
The table was set outside for dinner. There's a set for three. My boss' wife, there working student and me. My boss is not here today because of an out of town seminar. Since we don't have our Valentino today, my boss' wife decided to set a dinner date just for us. She order some delicacy as well for today. We have chicken soup and fish for dinner with juice as our drinks. The vibes was so romantic especially that the moon is out and shinning. I played some music while we ate and talk. Actually, I did not talk I just listen and laugh with them reminiscing what they do on previous years during valentine's day. I can't help myself to look back as well. But sad to say I don't have anything to look back. I don't know if I just can't remember well or I don't have really anything to remember.
Before I will be lost in my mind and memories I continue my meal. I focus myself to the food in the table and the present moment. It's quite. Very peaceful. The food is great. The moment is very nice. Yet I feel empty and sad. I don't know. May be I just long for something or may be someone tonight.
After having my meal, I took photos together with the shinning moon. It's very nice to have him tonight. At least with the moon I could still have light and would not be totally lost in the dark, of memories and place.
I could tell that special day would not be special without the special people of your life. It would just be ordinary just like the rest of the days. Sometimes, it would be sad and painful but, if special people would be around everyday feels like special day.
*Everyday could be special day with someone special. But not every special day would be special without them.*So, whenever you have time. Make everyday special with them cause they might not be there every special day.
We could do special things on special days but it would never be as special as ordinary days with your loveones. You might get lost too of where was this thought coming from. I guess this is from the heavy load that I told you from the start. Emptiness and the longing of my heart. Sorry if I seems so sad in this heart's day. It's me and my heart.
How about you? How's your heart day?
Let's cut this here. Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all.
Snowy Evening
I am living in a country that doesn't rain snow. I always love to see some snow that makes me wanting to go to countries that have snow. Whenever I see post on social media about snow I always enjoy watching it. It makes me happy and it makes me dream of going to a place where I could slide and have fun in the snow.
But my aunt who is living in U.S don't love snow. Whenever I told her of wanting so much to go a place that is snowing she tells me not to because it's not fun. Snow could be dangerous and raining too much snow could kill people and destroy many properties. She tells me her story of her first time in U.S. as a Filipino citizen who isn't used of snow. Whenever winter comes snow appear and it could only mean one thing -cold season. My aunt on her first night of snowy evening, she almost froze to death. She is cold as ice even though she covered herself with a lot of thick coat for winter. She also turn her heater on its peak yet the cold still bother her. She couldn't have much sleep and she is afraid to sleep as well because she think she won't woke up the next morning. She hated the whole winter full of adjustments. She even think many times of going home because she think she couldn't handled it. Yet her dreams of having good life and help the family let her overcome those struggle. Years pass she still feel cold every winter and doesn't enjoy and appreciate the season unlike other people. She always love being warm as what she used to in her country. Despite of it all there's this one thing she always told us- to never gone far from home. She may be handle the coldness of the snow but the coldness of the feeling being away from the family is much worst than the snow. The emptiness she felt despite reaching her goal is much worse. She missed her family everyday and it would get much colder every winter season. Year after year the cold make her cold as well. She no longer misses her family. She no longer want to go home.
With that story I am also hesitant of going to countries that have snow. I also wonder if I could survive or be frozen to death. Still the love and dream of seeing snow is still the same. I believe I couldn't get that off to my child self. But despite as well of dreaming to be gone home. I always choose not to get away from home. Far from my loved ones. I don't want to feel cold. I don't want to be cold just because of the dream that doesn't have life without the people I love. Yes, my aunt fulfill her dreams of never experienced hard life anymore but she don't have any family here to go home with. She no longer have place to be called home. Yes, she's an American citizen now but she is still a Filipino.
Sometimes our dreams of having things or acquire success in life doesn't mean anything when family will be lost or worst broken. Many gone to other countries nowadays to find money to ease the hardness of life but never they've thought that the that dreams would become the reason of a broken family. Thus, when we dreams we must not dreams too much that could result to our own regrets.
My dream of seeing snow will not vanished and it would come soon if faith allows me to. Soon I can just visit some countries on winter season.
That would be all for today. Thank you so much for reading. Thank you so much to Miss Jonica for this prompt.

Valentine's day is coming and I have read this words like a hundred times here. So I think I would jump to what's trend before I would be late Hehe. Since this questions from Kleah made me wanted to write my own entry thus here it goes. Thanks by the way to whoever smart people who formulate such questions, it saves my day.
Thanks as well to you sis @Kleah97 for the permission to do my entry.
I would not make you wait for too long so let's jump to it.
*Greetings to my dear sponsors. Thanks for the support as always. I feel you're love keep it coming. It motivates me. God bless and keep safe*. ❤️🙏
Would you rather get a box of chocolates or flowers on Valentines day?
I think i rather have chocolates. I do love flowers but I guess if I had to choose I will go to something we could share. Something we could eat. I can't eat flowers. But if there will be money or sack of rice and groceries, I will definitely go for it. It's good to be practical nowadays. It's been so hard to earn those money and it will gone dry and be thrown away in the garbage. Though we could have it if we have lots of money. But then life is hard so would probably accept something that would be useful and help us out for daily needs. It would be much appreciated if it is like that. Having someone that would make you feel special through giving things as act of love but knowing what things you needed must is much more special act. It's shown that he will be a good partner.
Would you rather stay in or go out on a date for V-day?
Valentine's day is once a year yet we can date anytime we wanted and make everyday a valentine's day. I rather stay in and have fun rather than going out. It's more thrift that way. We could cook what food we like or do things we still do if we're out. It's nice to go out atleast once though if you have the money to spend with it. And since I don't have any so better stay home.
What's your favorite Valentine's Day Memory
I guess it's when I gave mama a card and a paper flowers. She keeps most of my cards and read it after some time. She also put the flowers on display. Since elementary I gave mama cards though not every valentine's day but most I remember I gave her cards during valentine's day whenever I could. I love making cards not just for valentine's day but whenever it's a special day and I had the chance. For me making cards makes me alive. I put my heart on it and my efforts. I think it's what count most in a gift. The efforts and the love you put to it. I know it's not that much but would not be appreciated by many but whenever I see Mama's smile when she read my valentine's card makes my heart flutter especially when she would hug and kiss me after reading it. It's the best and most memorable.
You were given $100,000 and have to spend it on Valentine's day, how would you spend your winnings?
I would definitely share it to poor and needy. I know family would comes first but I know I would gave something to my fellowman especially to the poor kids. Maybe scholarship cause it would change their life for a life time. It would gave them better lives maybe not all of them but I know one or two kids would make a difference. For they would do the same kindness and spread some love to other as well.
When do you think is the right time to say “I love you”?
It's everyday. Not just for special people but to people whom you cared and cared for you. Everyone that's become part of your life.
*There's no right time. It's anytime.*
Saying I love you isn't enough a truth from *"sometimes love ain't enough"* song cause if you love someone you don't just say it. You have to let them feel that you love them. You need to let them see that you love them. By that I mean putting it in action, service and time. That's how love must be said. Love without action is dead just like faith. If the words doesn't coicide with the actions then it wasn't love at all.
What's the most romantic movie you have seen?
I almost break my head thinking but there's one movie that would fill my mind. It's "me before you" it's a love that shows beyond physical traits. It's a love that is so genuine. A love that is so genuine. A love that last a lifetime. We have different idea of the word romantic but I guess that's where I see true romance. It wasn't with Romeo and Juliet nor Jack and Rose. It's with the story of this two people who gave each other hope. Who see each other with eyes full of love and devotion.
That's it for today friends. I had my entry that serves my attendance haha. Thank you so much for reading. Happy valentine's in advance. Let's spread love thus I say "I love you" muahhh.
Fail, End, No
In life we FAIL in almost everything we do. We think it is already the END of everything but NO, it isn't.
*Bless to this generous souls who support me all this time. Also to* @Fexonice1*and* @ARTicLEE *for the upvote. My deepest thanks to you. Also to my dear El*@Eylz2021 *for the sponsorship renewal. My heart is so full. Thank you so much.* 🥰❤️
I see this post on Facebook and it confirm and affirm me especially this time of struggle that I have been through. Yes, I FAIL but as I have read the meaning of F.A.I.L as *First Attempt In Learning.* Indeed it's my first attempt in reaching my goals and my dream and yes I have learned so much.
F.A.I.L - **First Attempt In Learning**
It enlightened me of my comprehension towards failure and change my emotion towards it. It was my first attempt and it teaches me beyond technicalities of things -Processing papers, money matters and physical readiness. It teaches me how to handle my emotions. It teaches me how to face failure and how to trust God. It teaches me not to let emotions control me and become the bases of my decisions. Decisions that I might regret sooner or later. I thank God that inspite the bitterness and the darkness I've been into He never left in my side. Upon learning the through meaning of failure, I am not afraid of it anymore. It will never be the end of my efforts and not my dreams for END means *Effort Never Dies.*
E.N.D -**Effort Never Dies**
Indeed all my effort wasn't wasted. It serves as fuel for learning. I fail but failure wasn't the end. For failing isn't the end of life. And end doesn't means nothing left to hope and stand again. It doesn't means I have no chance to fight and start over again. It was just the first attempt and it doesn't end there. My journey had just begun. For every NO means *Next Opportunity.*
N.O -**Next Opportunity**
I do believe that the failure isn't the end of it all. For it means another opportunity will be open for me. Yes, I did feel rejected, and doubtful of my capabilities yet I realize that life has many things to offer. And I don't need to stop exploring life just because an opportunity has ended. There's many doors of life as what I have read in El's @Eylz2021 post. I have realize that I need to explore another door and quit starring at the door that is not meant for me or it's not my time yet to open it. Thanks for that wonderful message El.
**Conclusion**
Life is not always in favor for us. We may face failure and felt it's the end please remember that FAIL is your ways of learning. Accept your defeat. Embrace your flaws. And move on. Because to fail doesn't mean your life will end. Because the end means an effort that is not wasted. It's just the end of some chapters of our journey. Always bare in mind that a No is a new opportunity. Care to look at the other side of your life and move forward with the lesson you have learned
*Note to self:*
*Be proud of what you've been through for it molds you of who you are. I am proud of you of what you have become. Never cease praying and believing*.
Thank you so much for reading I hope you as well. Be proud of what you accomplished. God bless you always.
Off the road
Sometimes in life we are off the road and out of our way. Sometimes because of some reasons and sometimes that's where life puts us. We just need to appreciate the journey and learn a lesson or two.
*Flexing my wonderful sponsors. Super grateful to have you all. Inspite and despite of my on and off writing journey. God bless you always. Stay safe.*
It was January 31st that I rode back to South to go to work because my work from home set up just ended. And I will be working in the office for the whole month of February and maybe the rest of the months to come. It was a nostalgic journey as I bring with me my huge bag. I have to bring a lot of things with me since I will be moving to my new found boarding house since as I have shared to you my old boarding house was destroyed by typhoon Odette. So, that time I have lots of things needed to be with me. That's why I use my old partner in crime.
It's my second time to use this for a travel that is not out of the province and I am hesitant to use it cause people might think where I am going or where I came from. Nonetheless, I choose to use her because I want to not burden myself of all stuff to carry. It's safe and it's very easy for me if I will take her with me. She could carry pretty much everything I needed from beddings to cooking stuff aside from my clothes. See? 😁
So, to continue the journey. I waited for the bus. Though I am not really sure if it would be present today but still I manage to wait with hopeful heart and strong faith. Well, I could go back to our house if there's none coming. But it was not long when finally the wait is over cause the bus arrived. I hop in and continue the journey.
In the middle of the journey I was quite confused when the bus take another route and was off the road. The bus didn't take the bridge but drove off to the river. Slowly but surely. A side from the confusion I was worried too. Watching the bridge from the distance I conclude it wasn't allowed for a heavy loaded vehicle to cross there. Since I have seen some vehicle, wing vans and the like, taking the same route as ours. I could see the river was already taken by many tires. And I could sense that the bus masterd the road. The driver knows it's up and down. When to slow down and when to step on the engine to make sure we could be back on track safe and sound.
In the middle of the journey I could see how beautiful the river is, the stones. So, as how dangerous it would be if things get wrong. I could see people who took photo and videos as well. I could see how they enjoy the moment. How they were amazed of the bus as it travel the difficult road.
I realize with that journey my life is like the bus, God is the driver and I am the passenger. Sometimes my life was off the road. Sometimes God does not allow us to take those road that we plan to take. Sometimes God puts us to situations where we worry, where we panick. Where we are confused. Where we doubt. Where we question him. But, in this life when we learn to know that God is the driver and has the power to control the only thing we must do is to trust him. We must trust him as to where he would be taking us in this life. Wherever God puts you today. Whatever journey you are taking. He is with you. Learn to acknowledge everything and accept it. And from there you will enjoy the journey. That dangerous journey that made you wise, careful, and much more faithful. That after that journey there could be a better you because of the lessons you have learned and the person you have become. Wiser and stronger.
In this life I may not be on my path that I am planning to take but I believe this is where God puts me. And I will be arriving from the same destination I am aiming to reach. Maybe not the same person who start her journey but better person who would touch the same dream.
*Note: This is supposedly an article yesterday but because I couldn't upload any photo I did not published it. I am hoping I could insert one now and luckily I did. So, I push through my publication today. Thank you for reading. God bless.*

Fear not
What's your fear? Have you been afraid in your entire life? What's that one thing that you are afraid for? Is that failure? Is that losing? Is that darkeness? Snake? Or just cochroaches? Big or small when you feel afraid it is indeed fear.
*Great thanks to my wonderful sponsors. Bless you all.*
Fear is the feeling of being afraid. Feeling afraid is a valid emotions and no one can invalidate our fear, our emotions because that what makes us human.
Lately I have been being fearful of one thing that I do not want myself seeing. To fail. To not achieve my dreams, my goal. But one day, I did feel so fearful that I forget to acknowledge the power of God. Even deny his discernment on things. Start to question my worth. The feeling of fear inflected from my inside out. And it did brings out so many emotions that I also fear I would be reflecting as a person. I become bitter. Become doubtful. Lost my hope. Lost my faith. Almost, almost lost myself.
I hate almost everything. I talk, almost all hatred. I rant. Question from one to another. But I don't want to hear nor listen whatever they say. There's no words can console how painful I have feeling. I was in total pain. The pain get me numb. The pain let me forget myself. I cried. Tears seems won't ran out and dry. I was drain. The negative energy was losing me. I shot myself. Distance. Away from the people who cared the most. I was lost. In the dark. Fearful. Painful.
In the dark I see no one. I feel so alone. Empty. Lost. I don't want to stay there any longer. It's cold. And I pick myself up. Start my journey back. Called the Almighty father and told him everything and I don't want to feel that way. I ask his help because I can't do it alone. And from there He pick me up. He embrace me. I feel his warm. And he showed me the light and get me out from the dark.
I went to his house that Sunday afternoon and he told directly in my eyes that being fearful is normal. That feeling afraid is valid. That whatever I am feeling it is valid because that makes me a human being. That makes him God. Realizing that having the feeling of fear is a purpose that I must called the one who is powerful and that's him. That I need him in my life. That he has the total control of everything.
The journey was crucial but worth it. My faith was restored and was added. My hope ignited and burn much brighter. I may not have my dreams and goal now. I realized he has the total control of everything. From my studies to passing the exam to having my job today, he made it all clear to me that he put everything in place for me and I must not fear because he is with me.
Whatever you are afraid today. The Lord tells us "Do not fear because I am with you". I may not know from what verse it came from but the message is clear. We must not fear because the Lord Almighty is with us. Guide us. Pick us up. Embrace us even though we fail many times. Put everything in place for us. So from now on "fear not".
Thank you so much for a sponsorship renewal @Olasquare May the Lord God bless you more.. You are such a blessing friend ☺️❤️
Pros and cons of work from home
Working from home is what most everyone of us do especially this time of pandemic. It's been the alternative of most every employer to there business or stablishments to not be close fully. It's been a short term solution to the issue that we are facing to lower the risk of spreading and inflecting COVID-19. Working from home had been an option for quite sometime now. It's been on and off working from home of different employees from different aspect. Yet, it's my first time to try working from home. Finally 😁, I could tell by experience the pros and cons of working from home.
*Flexing my wonderful sponsors* 😘❤️. *Kindly visit them if you haven't they are good writers as well. Thank you.*
Hello everyone happy Thursday ! I hope your doing great and feeling great. Tomorrow is Friday let's keep grinding for everything we do 'cause the day after tomorrow is already weekend. Yeyy! But, I guess working from home means no weekend. (Sad) Anyways, before I continue I want to share with you my work from home set up.
This is my work from home set up. I have my laptop, mouse, hard drive and my partners in crime for this whole week. My tissue for the cold. My Vicks as well for the cold. And my efficient oil for my back pain. They ease all the uneasiness I've felt since I started working from home. And they did a very good job.
Working from home for the first time is very convenient and very challenging at the same time. It has it's pros and cons and base on my own experience this are the pros and the cons of working from home.
PROS IN WORKING FROM HOME
Convenient
No need to rash for work. Wake up early or take a bath early because I am just working from home. I don't have hard time preparing myself for work because when it's time to start my work I just sit on my favorite chair open the laptop and start working. Even without having breakfast.
I can eat while working
Since I am working from home I can eat whatever and whenever I want to. There's no second thought on going to the kitchen to get myself something to eat.
I don't have to worry what's to eat
Since i am working from home. Mom is encharge of the food. Therefore I don't have to worry what to eat on every meal. I don't have to think what to prepare nor having second thought if I will cook it or not.
Save money
Since I won't be traveling. I saved my money for the fare. Since I am at home I don't pay for a rent. And I don't buy food for myself. Such a money saving ideas working from home. I don't pay extra bills because I am working from home.
I could rest anytime
Working from home is the best. I could rest my back on my bed since it's few inch away from me. Breaks is more relaxing and I could stretch myself whenever I need to. I could also move my time logging in whenever I want to have my power nap after lunch.
No pressure
Since boss is not around and I couldn't see him. There's no so much pressure I could feel while working my ass. I could concentrate more and not so stiff at work. I could sing my favorite song and could dance to the bit.
But with every pros in everything we do there will always be cons. Things needs balance and we must way things accordingly. Given with the pros, I could say cons are much more than the pros if I weigh things out. There are so much going on outside the convenience and the good time I enjoy and benifit while working from home.
CONS IN WORKING FROM HOME
Procrastination
One of the biggest enemy I had in this working from home experience. I procrastinate a lot. Since I don't have to prepare myself for work, I wake up late. Some other time I even start my task 30 minutes late than the normal time in the office working hours. But I make sure I extend my time and was able to make up with the time I started. I don't like seeing myself being so procrastinator in this work from home set up because I am still the one to suffer with the consequences of it. Like today, I had to double my time and effort because I need to finish them all for a deadline. So, I am the one who deal the wasted time that I should work my ass off.
Distraction
Working from home is no joke. The place isn't conducive for working I tell you. My brain was like exploding Everytime and I easy get eritated with people around me because I can't think will and focus will with my task. Sometime if I needed to, I just wear my earphone for me to be out of the chaos and very noisy environment. With all the chickens, dogs and mom's stuff. 😅
I don't take bath
Since I dive to my work right away after fixing my bed, I don't have time to take a bath. And whenever I start working on my laptop, mama would never allow me to take a bath anymore because my eyes were expose to the laptop, it's radiation and is tired with all the work done in the laptop. She would sing me her seremonial song if I would disobey her. And, I do love my eyes therefore I would never disobey mom. She is right.
I easy get swayed to do the house chores
Since I stayed inside and I could see the things that is very undesirable to look at, I am always tempted to washed the clothes seeing the pile of it. Seeing the dirty bed and the room made my wanting to clean them rather than work. Some other time that I would fall for it and end up absent for that day because of washing the clothes or cleaning the house.
I thought working form home is fun and I always envyed people who work from home because I thought its nice having to work at the convenience of your own home not until I experience it myself.
Working from home is not very ideal especially to those working Mom because kids will be more annoying when you will be at work. And you can't be half into two just to get the both ends meet. There's a lot of distraction and you will be the one to deal every consequences of it.
For me working from home isn't that good because I can't seem to feel that work is done after the day. Unlike in the office that I could feel a sense of relief after 5'oclock because office hours is done. Though there's advantages as well in working from home. One that I love most is that, I save money whenever I am at home. It also really helpful in preventing us to get infected by the virus since we don't have to be exposed by many different individuals.
How about you? How was your work from home experience? Is there any similarities with my experience?
Don't be shy to comment down below. Let's talk about it.
That would be all for today friends. Thank you for reading. God bless.
Celebra-two-n
To celebrate another year in our life together with the people we love is heartwarming. And to be able to celebrate a birthday of someone we love brings happiness to our soul. And today we celebrate the special day of two members of our little gang- circle of friends.
Happy hump day everyone! I hope you are doing great today. I pray for your safety and your good health. Before continuing my little story here allow me to give my warmest greetings and regards to all my sponsors.
I always thank God for you generosity. My prayers are with you friends. Keep safe and God bless you even more.
Before this actual day happened we gather the rest of the gang for the planning of gifts and surprises in a video call meeting.
We are actually five members of the gang but the three of us only planned for the gifts on order for the two to have no idea. We did not tell them we have something for them. The meeting went will and we have decided to buy a planner for Carlo and a wallet for Ging-ging.
We meet last Sunday to wrap and prepare the gift since Ging-ging will be celebrating her birthday the next day which is Monday and Carl today. We came up into an idea of wrapping it and then put in a pizza box in order for it to be not so obvious.
Since we weren't able to meet last Monday for Ging-ging's birthday celebration we celebrate it together with Carlo today. So, it's a double celebration. Carlo for his 24th and Ging-ging for her 23rd.
We arrived in his house earlier than him and put a simple decoration for him. Arranged the food which his mother had bought and blown the number balloons. It's just us in their house because he just wanted a simple celebration. He was actually surprised that we are there because he did not invited us to come. But actually his mother was the one invited us and planned with us with this little surprise.
A very simple celebration yet we are happy as we've seen them happy. We eat the snack tita bought for his son's birthday and we talk about a lot of random things in life. Funny talks. Serious talks. Career and future plans. Our bond is unlike any other circle of friends. We are like soulmates. Even though we are few but we are true that what's matter most. Quality over quantity. That's what we realize over the years. It's okay to have few friends but true ones. Rather than hundred of them but fake.
We thank God for another year but we are also worried for another pressure had put up in our shoulder because of unstable status in such age we have. Not young anymore but young enough to still get away with it. Charr kidding. Just lighten up the mode and the pressure coming from another year spent unemployed and unstable.
We thank God for the friendship that we build from an unpleasant event in the past. Our friendship is unique and I love how it came to be. Each of us have different stories to tell but we gather and give sentiments to each one of us and listen from the heart.
*Happy, happy birthday to this two person I value. May God give you the best in life. May He gave you patient to wait for His perfect timing. And may He gave you strength and faith to continue to life with love and hope. I always love you both. I will always here for you.*
Another year of your life. Another life for our friendship. Cheers to more years to come.
That's all for today everyone. Thank you so much for reading. God bless.
