How are you all doing today?
I can't think of a good topic for today's article, so I'll just tell you about the things I always have with me when I leave the house. These are the things I can't stop thinking about whenever I leave the house. I'm afraid my day will be wrecked if I don't find it in my bag.
First of all, I want to greet my loving Sponsors!!! Heyooooo!!!
"Girl Scout, Laging handa".....
When I was in primary school, that's what I always heard. But, to be honest, I never joined that organization. Sad right?
It was all because my mother previously refused to let me in for the reason that we were always short on cash. But it's fine with me because I never felt envious of my peers who joined it when I was younger.
Also, instead of training for Girl Scouts, I'd rather go home early because I'm a youngster who just wants to play games on our street.
Let's return to our original topic.
So, as I grew older, I saw that I became more self-reliant. I'm always prepared for everything. I remember having an intermediate pad and a yellow pad hidden in my suitcase while I was in high school. And I'll sell it to my classmates if they don't have it. Also, I don't always lose my pen, even if it's a ballpoint pen. I haven't been able to leave the house without it until today. The reason will be revealed later.

Anyway, I won't go on any longer; instead, let's talk about the items I always carry with me when I go outside.
1. ALCOHOL
If I have to have one thing with me at all times, I'll put this alcohol spray in a bag or tiny pocketbook first. It never left my backpack, even though there was no pandemic at the time. I am quite cautious and have always aspired to be hygienic. Others call me "maarte," yet whenever I truly grab on to something, I immediately spray it with alcohol.
Anyways, 'maarte' means a person who is so finicky or fussy. Here's how you can describe a 'maarte' person. Thanks Google.
2. SMARTPHONE
I'll never leave my phone at home ever. I've always carried it with me since I got it. Maybe if I had to choose between money and bringing this phone, I'd choose the phone because I can withdraw money outside using my e-wallets, right?
Furthermore, my phone is quite essential to me. Almost everything is contained within the confines of my phone. Sometimes yes, I even put money inside the casing. I also bring my phone with me for security reasons. Of course, what if I'm abducted unexpectedly? Or did I have a mishap? Or another emergency somewhere along the way?

3. CASH
There are instances when I still require money. It depends on my destination. I usually go out with only a minimal amount of money because I can buy necessities with e-wallets. When I buy something from a small business, though, I have to pay cash.

4. BALLPEN
So first of all, I don’t use another ballpen that I don’t own. Especially with this pandemic, I always carry my ballpoint pen. Anyway, there is another reason why I always have a ballpen in the bag or even in the pocket.

It was also a few years ago when I last used the ballpen for security purposes. How come, while I was on my way home from school, I was almost attacked by a maniac. I didn't use the ballpen with him since many people responded to me. But I thought it would be much better to have it in my pocket since I don't know when this situation will happen.
TAKE NOTE: You should also invest in self-defense things like pepper spray. I wouldn’t recommend this ballpen since I also don’t want to hurt people badly.
5. HAIRPINS AND PONYTAIL
Because my hair is always messy, I always have hairpins and ponytails with me. I'm in high school when I started to get insecure about my hair. Though I'm learning to understand that it's unique, so when I trip, I make my own hairstyle.
Here's my hairstyle last 2018. It's actually frizzy and I just used hair serums and oils to make it look fine.
6. NUDE LIPSTICK AND MY PENCIL EYEBROW
And, because my brows are my life, I can't leave my nude lipstick and eyebrow pencil behind in my handbag. I've wanted this shade of lipstick for about four years because red and lip color doesn't fit me. Because my brows are just light in tone, I prefer to use a brown-black hue for them.
That concludes today's session, ladies and gentlemen! I'm still considering things I can't live without, but these six items are my favorites in my bucket. See you in my next article!!

Yung cellphone talaga sis ang hindi ko pwede iwan hehe. Yung cash naman, pwede na rin gumamit ng Paymaya at Gcash sa Grab or sa mall. If ever na nagmamadali ako, phone una kong hahanapin.
