Answering Questions That Generates Self-discovery 1. How can I give more to others? 2. How can I be of service to others? 3. Am I happy in which direction of my life is headed? 4. Am I happy with how I spend my time? 5. What skill do I have that I can share with others? 6. What makes me happiest when I do it? 7. What do I believe are my greatest achievements so far in my life? 8 If money was no concern, what dream would I be fulfilling right now? Have you ever been into a position where you feel like you don't know yourself anymore? A place where you no longer know where to seek happiness? Well, if you had, I got you covered. I got this Happiness Prompt on Pinterest and this will be our topic for today. https://pin.it/qRXRXNs Together, let's rediscover our happiness by answering these questions. Let me start. 1. How can I give more to others? The first thing that I should do is to be in a position where I am content with myself. I need to find myself first before venturing into giving to other people. Just like I always do, I do not donate/give if I know to myself that I am also in need. I do not give if I am having second thoughts about letting go of the money or the material things that I have. I can give more to others if I am already sure of myself. Without having to think of second thoughts and regretting in the long run. Because for me, giving more to others doesn't need something in return. It is the happiness and gratitude that matters the most. 2. How can I be of service to others? The most cliché phrase that we always tell our friends is that we are always here for them. But in reality, we aren't really. We have times when we don't feel like talking to someone and we cannot always be available or be of service to others. I can be of service to others when I know that I am capable of helping. That I am able to contribute to what is in need of service. Giving service to others doesn't mean being always available but being present when you have the time and energy. Being service to others shouldn't make you feel regret rather it should make you feel happy. 3. Am I happy in which the direction of my life is headed? Yes, I am happy in which direction of my life is headed. I am at this age where I already start prioritizing what matters the most and what are the things that truly matters. I am financially independent in terms of buying my needs and I am also able to share some of it to different organizations that help other people. Aside from that, I am more driven to have a successful life in the future. Seeing people suffer makes my heart ache and I don't want to see that. I wanted to help in the ways that I can and in the future when I have the money. 4. Am I happy with how I spend my time? To be honest, sometimes I hate how I spend my time. I would use my phone almost 24/7 and later regret it for not doing the things that needed my attention. But I couldn't blame myself entirely for that because we are in the middle of a pandemic and I don't have the privilege to go out of the house all the time. One thing that I am happy spending my time about is when my day is productive. When I work out, write an article, finish my school work, etc. I feel good knowing that I did something on that day and not just lounging in my bed for the whole day. 5. What skill do I have that I can share with others? This is a hard question as I am not really good at specific things. But if you teach me something, I am a fast learner and I might overtake your skills. Hahahaha. In general, I don't really have a skill that I can share with others. I am the one that should share a skill. 6. What makes me happiest when I do it? Jogging is one of the things that makes me the happiest when I do it. Yes it is very tiring but when I am at a momentum and exerts my energy, I find myself smiling while jogging. It is somehow healthy for my mind since it refreshes it. Also, the same with working out. It really helps me a lot and makes me the happiest when I am doing it. 7. What do I believe are my greatest achievements so far in my life? My greatest achievement so far is being financially independent. I pay for the majority of my expenses. For me, it's my greatest achievement since it lessened the burden on my parents' shoulders. They can already allot the money that they are going to give me to other things for siblings, food budget, and other bills. 8. If money was no concern, what dream would I be fulfilling right now? I don't have a specific dream that is on my mind but if money was no concern I would have taken entrance exams in different colleges. Money was the problem that time. My mom told me that we don't have the means of sending me into a private school but I can still try taking the exams. But for me, what's the purpose of taking an entrance exam if I know already that I'm not going to enroll in that university. So, I did not push through and just stuck with state universities.

@WanderingMedStudent 4 January 2022

Things To Consider Before Buying/Adopting A Pet **1. Reason** Ask yourself why do you want to buy/adopt a pet? Is it because you just want to show off? To impress someone or do you really want a life companion? There are a lot of factors why you should know the reason why you want to buy/adopt a pet in the next things that I should be discussing. Piece of advice: If you just want a pet for you to show off then, don't consider having one. A pet deserves more than just being treated as a display or figurines. 2. Sense of responsibility and Commitment Are you ready to take them for a walk? Stay at home and miss a trip with your friends just to look after your pet? Know that when you acquire a pet, you are commiting in another living creature. It is your responsibility to take care of them. For example feed, give them a bath, clean their poops, and other essential things that your pet requires. 3. Budget This is one of the most important things that you should consider before having a pet. Know that a pet not just requires food but it also requires a budget for its maintenance such as grooming, pet supplies, cage, and most especially vet bills. It is important that you are able to provide your pet's needs. And also, your budget should also depend on what pet you are going for. For example, for exotic pets. It requires a special habitat for it to live in. If you have the budget, then go for it. 4. Space Does your place have an extra place for a pet? Does your house have a front or backyard? Spacious living room? Space is a factor in getting a pet. For instance, if you have lots of space in your house, then opt for a large breed. If not, settle for a medium or small breed. Do not let your pet's health be compromised because of your space. Give them what they deserve. 5. Do Your Own Research (DYOR) **Breed | Adoption | Details** Know what specific breed that you like. There are pets that have thick coats especially the ones that are from countries that are relatively cold. Their coats are there for a reason. If you're getting a dog that has a thick coat be informed that it will require more needs than the other breeds since it needs a cold place to be in. Also, if you really want this kind of dog, be ready for upcoming vet bills if they might have issues adjusting in our country's climate. As for the adoption, do a research about the dog facility that you're going to get your pets. There are dogs for adoption that are retired from their military services. These types of dogs need rehabilitation and will not get along with your kids. You should also be able to know your pet's details. As I've mentioned, some pets cannot easily adjust to our country's climate. If you still insist on getting one that has a low acclimate rate, then be ready to provide a habitat where it can adjust well. For example, using air conditioner/ electric fans to help your pet husky in hot weather. Since this type of dog is originally bred for cold weather, it is best to provide their needs or somehow close to it. 6. Grooming It is best to train your pets while they are still young so that it will be easy when you are grooming them. You should be able to clean their ears, clip their nails, and brush their teeth. If you can't do it on your own, then it will require a budget to hire a groomer. So, it is best to train them young so that it can help you lessen their expenses. 7. Be patient Patience is one thing that not all pet owners have. If you are planning to acquire a pet, you should first have patience. Training your pets isn't an easy thing to do --- It will require a lot of time and patience. You should be able to potty train them, to teach them not to chew on your shoes, and etc. If you're not patient enough, then consider not having one. Final thoughts... Having a pet isn't all about the glamorous side and flaunting and taking pictures of them and posting it on social media. You should be able to own up to your responsibilities as pet owners. Do not let a pet suffer from your negligence. Think of it if you really want one. Give them what they truly deserve. Do not also forget to consult a Vet for your pet's health needs. Let's all promote responsible pet ownership. Author's Note: Thank you for reading this! Do not also stop wearing facemasks. Let us all be safe and healthy!

@WanderingMedStudent 3 January 2022

Never Skip Step #1 One of the reasons why other people don't get the chance to achieve their goals is because they skip step 1. They are already thinking in advance about step 500 while they have never done Step 1. When we are planning about our goals, we already think about how we are going to achieve them --- we worry so much. But one thing that we never do is to start making actions on how to achieve it. For instance, planning to achieve 1 BCH. It is a fulfilling idea when we gain 1 BCH in our wallets but it's a long process to achieve it. You need to work hard to be able to achieve this amount. Achieving this kind of amount takes a lot of steps. You should be able to gain $100 worth of BCH, then $200, and so on. While we think in advance, along the way we may feel overwhelmed thinking that the possible is impossible. The best thing to do is take it one at a time. Plan what is in the present and think of what is in the future when your initial plans have already been achieved. The problem that I see here is that people tend to plan. For example in my case, I still don't have the money but I already have a lot of things that I want to purchase on my mind. It isn't a bad thing to dream however it affects the way I strive for my goals. When it takes for me to purchase what is on my plans, I tend to worry a lot and somehow freeze at the moment. It affects my ability to process what is in the present. I came across this quote on TikTok saying, "Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase." This quote made me realize that for us to be able to achieve our dreams, we should first focus on what is in the present and everything will fall into place when we start making our first steps. Just like from the other quote that I've read, "The greatest journey starts with our first step." Worry less as we may be able to achieve our goals in the future, we just have to focus on what it is in the present and make the most out of it. Let's start with the first step and little by little, we are going to be able to finish that staircase that is on our way. Final thoughts... Isn't amazing how we are dreamers. This just indicates that we want the best for us and we don't settle for less. But as we plan to achieve our dreams, let me remind you to be gentle with yourself. Do not pressure yourself to achieve your dreams in a short period. Remember, all the great things in life takes time. And as the title of this article says, NEVER SKIP STEP #1. Author's Note: How is everyone doing? I'm still on vacation mode but I will be having my last exam for tomorrow evening that will end my first semester. I hope all of you that have been affected by the typhoon are holding on. Continue praying and continue to hold on. As we face a different variant of COVID-19 in our country once again, may it be a reminder for us to not stop wearing facemasks. Continue to be safe and healthy! Thank you for reading this!

@WanderingMedStudent 2 January 2022

2022, A Year Worth Welcoming! A new year means renewing our goals or continuing where we started. It's like a new blank book where we are going to embark on our memories. Leave your worries and the negativities in 2021 and manifest for greater things. What do you manifest for this year? Let me start, I manifest for greater things to happen to my life. To achieve goals after goals and be happy. I manifest for healthy mental health, healthy relationships, academic stability, good governance, and many more. I have welcomed this year with so much joy in my heart. The excitement that was overflowing radiated to the people around me. I even wore a nice outfit to welcome this year because I believe that it's part of me manifesting that my life this year would be an extravagant one. Before we welcomed 2022, my family and I attended the New Year's Eve mass. After that, we took photos and waited until the clock turns 12. We were so happy and smiling throughout the first hour of the new year making noises and hearing loud noises from the neighborhood and parading with their trumpets and drums. As for me, I had my little hammer and the cover of our casserole. I was hitting it so loud so that the negativities would be gone. After an hour of making noise, I went to my cousin's house to greet them with a Happy New Year. We hang out a bit and I eventually went to my friend's house to have our annual tradition of meeting up for New Year's midnight to have our celebration. We had samgyup at their house and of course, we had some drinks. We spent four hours together drinking and chatting with each other about life and how I was bittersweet that 2021 would really come to an end. I mean, I felt that way because looking back on the things that I've gone through, I made it. And somehow, I had an emotional attachment to it. I arrived home at 5 am and eventually went to sleep. My aunt planned a camping trip for the family to the near camping site here in Albay. I didn't sleep there but I went with my Uncle to drop them off in the mountains. The place looks nice and it was so cold! It felt like I was in the Cordillera mountains. My two uncles and I went home at 6 pm since I still have a night out with friends. We just ate food and bid our goodbyes to each other. I don't have a New Year's Resolution for 2022 rather I keep in my mind that I should focus more on myself and strive for greatness. I also kept reminding myself that **I am whole all by myself and that nothing is missing in me.** That's all, Happy New Year! Author's Note: May we not stop wearing facemasks. Metro Manila is under alert level 3 as of the latest update that I have received. Let us continue to be safe amidst our eagerness of going outside of our homes. Remember that health should always be our top priority.

@WanderingMedStudent 30 December 2021

Took Myself On A Date Before I start telling you what happened on my self-date, let me tell you how it all started. It all started with a bucket list. A list of all the things that I want to do on my own --- a test of independence. These are one of the many things that I have on my bucket list: attending the mass alone, eating alone in a public place, traveling alone, etc. I have done most of it. It is a promise to myself that I made before attending college. It was full of what-ifs at first and the shyness that exists in me. Like how people would stare at me when I'm alone and the worst is to have eye contact with them. I've tried eating alone in a public place when I was a kid but due to the time that passed by, the shyness in me had accumulated. The first one that I checked on my bucket list is to attend the mass alone. It wasn't as easy just sitting there but lining up for the communion, standing up, and singing is not an easy thing to do. Until I've attended one and it has been a continuous routine of attending all by myself. Similar to attending the mass alone, I've done the two that were mentioned above --- eating alone in public and traveling alone. It has been my tradition to take myself out and eat the things that I want. Of course, there is also window shopping that always leads to checking some items out. For me, taking myself on a date is how I make my hard work worth it --- the sacrifices and the effort that I exerted. Pre-pandemic was the time where I would always go out by myself. Going to the city and entering mall by mall. It had just stopped because of this pandemic. I still can remember the last time I ate outside. It was in Shakey's Naga City. That was the time when we had an activity in our department and I took the time before heading home to treat myself to eat. It was a nice day for me. Anyways, let me tell you what happened today. I posted this on Twitter last night but I was still undecided if I will push through for this day. The original plan was to visit the Café here in my hometown. To have some burgers, fries, and a cup of coffee or matcha. I left home at 5 o'clock this afternoon, it's quite late already. The café was already closed when I arrived leaving me with options of heading out of town or going to the mall and just grabbing early dinner at Biggs' Diner. I ordered Barbecue kebabs, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and Pepsi for my drinks. Anyways, if you are planning to eat at Biggs, make sure to bring your vaccination card to have a 20% discount. I stayed at Biggs for an hour indulging in my food and enjoying my company. If I would rate my overall experience in Biggs Diner for today, it would be 6.5/10. Because the coleslaw wasn't thinly sliced and then sauced was the usual combination of ketchup and mayonnaise. The mashed potato wasn't also that fine and not tasty. And the barbecue was makunat. I've stayed here for half a year now and I'll do a face reveal. Hahahaha. Echosera! Everyone, this is my blooming face. Excuse my not-so-good haircut. Anyways, don't mind my face. I just wanted to show how I look since I've seen some of your faces already. Before I head home, I went to grab some coffee in the marketplace. That's it for today. This is my definition of Alone But Not Lonely. I enjoyed how my date ended and for sure, I will do it again and again. Anyways, how do you guys treat yourself? Author's Note: It's almost New Year and I know we are so excited for 2022 to come. As we end this year, may we feel the contentment in our heart and leave the negativities that this year has given us. Thank you for reading this!

3 Ways To Honor The New Year I know this year sucked and some of us experienced a lot of hardships in life. For instance, losing someone, going through rough mental health, being affected by the typhoon, etc. This topic is from the TikTok video that I saw which is a journaling prompt by Rachel Havekost. You can watch the video by clicking this. https://www.tiktok.com/@rachelhavekost/video/7041689402543820034?_t=8OZzDk1W6r3&_r=1 So, how can we honor the new year? According to the video, we can honor the new year by: Ask: "How did I grow?" "How can I tell?" Say, "I overcame so much and I am proud that I'm still here." Try: Finding gratitude for who you've become. Let me start writing this prompt. How did I grow? This year taught me how to focus even more on myself. To not think more of other people and give my 100% attention to me. By taking care of myself, prioritizing my needs, and allowing myself to discover the things that I don't know about. As the year 2021 is fast ending, I have realized that the years 2019-2020 have been really toxic to me. I have been to the point where I believed and disregarded the other story and got brainwashed which caused me to lose trust in people. It costs me to break grounds with other people to which they do not deserve to be treated like such. I've grown to be the person to not be too affected by what is happening in my surroundings. To not give a fuck about what other people are saying to others and myself. I've grown this year that I've learned the art of not giving a fuck of what is happening. To truly focus on the more important things than to focus on the ones that don't deserve my attention. This year, I learned to love myself even more. I realized that having my features such as having dark areas of the body, my current skin condition, and my size is just part of who I am. I realized that it is just fine and I am not alone. I overcame so much and I am proud that I am still here. I had so many countless suicidal thoughts that I could barely handle and I am so thankful that I have my cousin who was around when I was having an episode. He was present when I had the courage to talk about those things that were running in my head. Now, I am still not in a good mental state but I am trying my best to fight the demons in my head. To strive hard and to focus more on the positive side of life. Now, three days before the year ends, I wanted to validate my growth as an individual. I am so proud of you, Pem. You have become a lovely person throughout this year and were able to help other people in your ways. Let's continue to strive for greatness and as we move forward, let's keep our heads up and look straightforward to what life can offer. *Final thoughts*... You can also write something about this topic. Make sure to tag me on your article. Together, let's validate our growths as lovely individuals, and let's continue to strive for greatness. Author's Note: Thank you beautiful people for reading my articles. I am truly grateful for your continuous support. Advance Happy New Year!

Read This To Be Reminded That It's Okay There's a time in our life where we worry too much about the things that are happening and what is happening. It affects us to the point that we can no longer function properly as a human beings because we kept thinking of it. In this article, let us all try to be reminded that it's okay and I'll explain why it's going to be okay. Allow Yourself To Be A Beginner There is no shortcut in life. Your willingness to become something great in a short period will make you feel burnout in the long run. Do not be too harsh on yourself when you make mistakes especially when you're just starting. Remember, you are a Beginner. Do not be insecure about what others have accomplished in life. You have your own time and it is up to you to whether learn from your mistakes or not. **Just allow yourself to be a beginner**. **Don't Starve Yourself While Achieving Your Dream Body** It is currently the holiday season and I know some of us especially the body-conscious are worrying about our weight. It's okay to worry about it but do not be too hard on yourself. Let me remind you that it is okay to eat breakfast after having a heavy meal last dinner. Your cheat day isn't going to hurt you. What will make you feel hurt is the fact that you are ignoring the fact that your body needs food. **You can always achieve your dream body without starving yourself.** **Take Working Out Easy, You Are Not Going To Grow Muscles In Just One Day** As I've mentioned, it is the holiday season and most of the gym-goers are already back on their playgrounds. I just want to say to continue where you ended/left. Do not go too fast on yourself, take it easy because **you aren't going to regain all your muscles and strength back in just a day.** **It Is Okay To Feel Lonely** To feel lonely sometimes is a blessing in disguise. It is the time where we discover something for ourselves. This is where we have realizations to ourselves on what are the things that will make us happy. **So, it is okay to feel lonely because we get to discover in ourselves.** **It Is Okay To Do Things On Your Own** Sometimes, doing things on our own makes us feel different emotions. Sometimes we get frustrated when we don't get it easily and sometimes it is very much fulfilling when we do it on our own without the help of anyone. This is just a reminder that we can still do things on our own but we shouldn't be afraid to ask for help from others. **Do Not Be Afraid To Ask For Help** We are just humans, we cannot do all the things on our own. There will be a point where we are going to ask for help and it's okay. Some of us may feel that we owe the person after helping us but it's up to them if they will ask something in return. What matters the most is we thank them and be grateful for their help. **Alone But Not Lonely** This line is so cliché already since this has been said by many people but it is possible to be alone and not feel lonely. Do not put yourself in a situation where you will depend on your happiness to other people, try to be happy on your own. Some people are surrounded by their friends but may still feel lonely and their people are alone but are not lonely. This isn't a way to make those people feel bad about themselves but to make them realize that they should be their own company. **It's Okay To Not Consider Your Family As Family** Sometimes we may not like our family members and it's okay. We cannot force ourselves to like them even if they are already being toxic. And blood relation between family members shouldn't be a basis just to consider them as family. I am not saying to neglect them but I know some of us to feel sometimes that we should love them just because they are family. We can hate our family too and that is totally fine. We are just human being that feels different emotions and moods in our lifetime. *Final thoughts...* I hope this will somehow give you light in the darkest times where you worry too much. You can always disregard the things that I've said. It is only to enlighten you but not to be forcefully bought by the statements. It is still up to you whether you will accept it or now. Author's Note: We are just a few days before 2021 ends and as I always tell you, thank you for reading my works! I am truly grateful for the time that you are giving attention to it. XOXO.

Post Holiday Happenings Hi! I just want to tell you what happened today and what is going to happen to me in the coming days. Today was really bad bed weather. It has been raining since lunchtime up until now. The rain cost me my time reviewing for the exam and I just slept until 2 pm. I was last night using my phone, just the usual thing that I do, scrolling through my social media accounts. What was planned today was the exam this evening and to accompany my brother to his dental appointment. He got his tooth restored and as for me, I got mine cleaned and restored. The clinic that we visited was owned by our distant Aunt. She runs it and also is the attending dentist. Since my brother's appointment was just for tooth restoration, he got done fast. It only took less than 20 minutes. I didn't think that today was the day that I will be scheduling my dental appointment. This clinic wasn't even my first choice of going in but since I was already accompanying my brother, I decided to book an appointment for my dental needs. I was at the table for almost 40 minutes. It felt like I was being operated on. At first, the Dentist did the cleaning. And after that, she proceeded with the tooth restoration. I thought that my tooth was the problem but it wasn't. The old restoration needed to be replaced with the new fillings since it was already turning to a grayish color making it look like it's decaying. Drill over here, drill over there. Suction here, wipe over there. Oh, God! It was so tiring. My jaw was already starting to feel numbed since I opened my mouth for too long. There was even a time where the dental assistant was forgetting to suction the saliva out of me. I was already drowning in my saliva. At that time, I was already shouting at her in my head to suction. Hahahaha. That was an awful experience for me. Plus when you're on the dental table and the dentist and the dentist assistant is working on you, it's too awkward and I don't know where to look at it. Also, I had an anxiety attack earlier. My mouth was shaking when they started to work on me. Feels like the time when I got my eyeglasses. I felt too anxious. I was already expecting that I am going to pay a high price because of the dental procedures that I availed myself. I paid 800 pesos for the cleaning and 1200 for the tooth restoration. Those were already discounted since she told us that we're relatives. Up until now, I can still taste the fillings that they put into my tooth. I can still smell the ground tooth. Ugh! I went home kind of happy but ran out of cash. I tried to withdraw some cash from the ATM near the clinic but it was closed. I am left now with just $2 in my wallet. We arrived home at 5 o'clock. I took a rest and talked to my mom's sibling (my aunt) about how broke I am after going to the clinic. Lucky me because the exam got delayed for an hour and rescheduled for 8 pm instead of 7. I didn't review for the exam but fortunately, I got 56 out of 75. My exam results felt like Christmas. It was raining greens and red. Hahahaha. Fortunately, the greens were more than the color red. *Manifesting that the price of BCH pumps even higher.* I went straight to the kitchen to was dinner. I was excited about the ham but they didn't cook it. My Grandmother told me that Dad is going to cook it for New Year's Eve and made something from it. Hays. I was too disappointed to even expect that the viand for dinner is ham. I'm just on my sweater and sweat pants right now since it's too cold and the rain hasn't stopped yet. Anyways, it's all for now. Bye-bye. Author's Note: Hello! Thank you for reading this article. May the good Lord bless you more! Anyways, I was glad by the outcome of our donation drive.

How I Celebrated Christmas | Donation Update Before I start telling you how I celebrated Christmas, I just want to ask you, are you still holding on? Holding on from the Christmas parties, hangovers, etc. Let me just remind you that it is not a requirement to be happy during Christmas. And it is not a requirement to be with someone during this day, you can always be happy on your own. Christmas for me is worth celebrating, it is the time where I am most happy and contented. Spending time with family and friends exchanging gifts and Christmas greetings. I woke up at around noon on the 24th of December. As usual, there were a lot of preparations that were going on. My parents and sister were busy preparing food for us and the birthday party of my cousin. While I on the other hand was just lounging in my bed and using my phone. In mid-afternoon, I decided to work out to burn the calories that I ingested for a couple of days. I did a jump rope cardio workout for 10 minutes and after a while taking a bath to attend my cousin's 8th birthday party. Also, as we walked towards their house, the sunset was amazing! We stayed at my cousin's house for a few hours and left at quarter to 8 o'clock because we want to get a seat in the church. I was with my grandmother when we attended the mass and the rest of the family also attended. It's just that we weren't on the same spot in the Church. The Priest's homily was good and served as an eye-opener for my kababayans that were being blinded by the acts of the running politicians. The Priest told us that we shouldn't be blinded by the propaganda that these politicians are doing. That we shouldn't let them use us for their personal agendas. Politicians are supposed to help us rather not to use us. It was a good one-hour mass. A lot of people were singing and listening to what the Priest is saying. It's just a normal thing when we arrived home. They changed their clothes but for me, I waited for the 25th of December to come before I changed my clothes. A few minutes before the 25th, I was already waiting for the clock to hit 12 to greet my family with a Merry Christmas. After that, I went out to take a look. There were different fireworks displays that my neighbors prepared. However, I didn't get to see some of it because the tall buildings made it hard for me to see it. After the fireworks display, I chatted with my cousin and greeted him. I asked him what are they doing in their place and he said that there wasn't something good happening in there. We decided to drink until 4 am and talk about life. Unfortunately, there wasn't ice while we're having our drinks. My mom didn't notice that I was outside the whole time because they were asleep. Hahahaha. Since it's already Christmas day and I don't have anything to do, I took the invite to go to my friend's house to eat lunch because it was also his Grandmother's birthday. We had so much food and I thought we weren't going to drink but we still ended drinking 3 Emperador litros. We left their house at 7 pm and we took a ride to grab some coffee to sober up. It was too funny. We were just laughing at each other about how wasted we are last night. Also, it was my friend's treat. I arrived home at around 9 pm and suffered the consequences of my drinking habit. Oh boy! I just wanted to die because I don't know if I'm going to eat, vomit, or sleep. It was a great Christmas Day for me. **Donation Update!** Thank you to everyone who read, commented, and upvoted my article for a cause. We were able to accumulate $13.17 worth of BCH and converted it to fiat. I already sent the money to the chosen organization and added $1 to it. All in all, we have successfully donated 700 pesos to TANGING YAMAN FOUNDATION, INC. This donation wouldn't be a success without all of you. I sincerely thank all of you. To many more articles for a cause with all of you. 🥺❤️ Remember that this is not just my donation but this is OUR donation. Author's Note: Thank you everyone for all of your support to me.

Holiday Gift Guides Do you already have gifts for your loved ones? If you still don't have one, I'm here. I can be their gift for this holiday. Kidding! I know this is already a late article for a gift guide but I know that some of you will have a last-minute run to the mall to grab some gifts. Christmas day is one important day in the year as it is the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ. Aside from that, we receive special gifts from our parents, uncles and aunts, godfather and godmothers, etc. Let's be real, this is the time where we expect that we are going to receive something. Anyways, without further ado, let's get started and tackle the holiday gift guides. **Give them what they want.** We all have something in our minds that we want as a gift or something to purchase for ourselves. We kept talking about it and searching for the cheapest price on the internet that there will be. For me, they will appreciate it if you give them what they want since it will save them money and think that you remembered that they want it for themselves is already a great thing. **Think of something that they can use.** Promise, they will love you when you give them something that you think they can use. One great example is by giving a student a set of highlighters. They can surely use it when studying for quizzes and exams. **Gift Certificates.** If you don't have something in mind what to give your loved ones, giving them Gift Certificates is the best option that there is especially when they are young adults. For example, a gift certificate from salon and spa, ZALORA, SM Department Store, etc. It's less hassle to think of gifts yet you made them happy by giving them something that they can enjoy and use. But you should also consider the person that you are giving this to, most importantly kids. They won't enjoy it as much as adults will do since they don't know how to use it and what is most in their minds are toys. **Ang Pao/ Red Envelope.** These are given with money inside. Usually, we get Ang Pao from our godfather and godmother as their "pamasko" to us. There may be a lot of reasons why they can't buy gifts it can be the holiday rush, work, and other personal stuff. Giving money as a gift is not a bad thing. The money that you give them can help contribute to their money to buy the things that they want. **Gift baskets.** There are different kinds of gift baskets. Some contain Fruits, Noche Buena packages, etc. If you are planning to give your Elderly friends, your lover's parents, and many more, then this is the perfect gift for them. I know for a fact that they will appreciate this gesture. The fact that you remembered them is already something to be grateful for. **Give their Children or pets something for Christmas**. Some people don't mind receiving something for Christmas for themselves. They are most happy when their furbabies or chikitings receive something instead of them. It makes them already happy and contented. Final thoughts... Gifts are something that is an unmeasurable amount that you can give to someone. It will all depend on the person who is going to receive it if the gift will be appreciated or not. Most importantly, you don't have to be sad if you don't have something for your loved ones. What matters is that you greeted them with a Merry Christmas with a smile on your face. Author's Note: Hey everyone! Thank you for reading my article for a cause. I am planning to donate the money on Christmas Day.

Para Kay Manoy at Manay **Para Kay Manoy at Manay** is an article for a cause initiative that seeks to donate money to a chosen organization that will help our dear fellow Filipinos that have been greatly affected by the onslaught of Typhoon Odette. This is a writing initiative by me (WanderingMedStudent). Manoy and Manay is a word that translates to elder brother and sister. It is commonly used here in our region and also used in different provinces of the Philippines. I chose this title because of my uncle, we call him Manoy. Primarily, I thought of writing it for him but I also wanted to help the general public that has been affected. We all have elder people existing in our lives, it can be our siblings, cousin, parents, and grandparents. It depends on our age. We too, are Manoys and Manays of our own. **Para Kay Manoy and Manay** because they are the ones that are in charge of us when our parents are not around. We may have fights and misunderstandings with them but they still do their best to look after us. During this time, I know for a fact that all the affected of the typhoon has their own Manoys and Manays. This pandemic has brought so many changes to us. It has been a neverending life transition. But one thing that we never lose was our compassion for each other. Compassionate to help each one another. Thankful for our Manoys and Manays that have been really working so hard to accumulate money for their relief operations. They have lend their hands and always lend a helping hand to the people in need. The place where I lived is like a typhoon magnet. It has not been a single year where we won't experience without having a natural calamity. As a Bicolano who has dealt with the onslaught of several typhoons already, I am with everyone that has been affected by the recent typhoon Odette. I know how hard it is for all of you especially since Christmas is just a few days from now. I too have experienced having no electricity during this season because of the pasts typhoons. I know how hard it is to be in a place where the roofs are about to detach from the house. Loud noises are created by the wind and water entering the house. There are also people shouting for help and because of fear. It was traumatizing. To my fellow Filipinos who have been affected by the typhoon, I know that this is a difficult time to be happy but just try to move forward. **Padayon** or in my local dialect **Padagos**, which means to keep moving forward. We can surpass all of this. Just keep the faith! This article for a cause will be donating all of its proceeds to **TANGING YAMAN FOUNDATION, INC**. This foundation has been helping the people these past few days and I just want to give an amount where it can help extend the relief operations program.

My Little Project I don't know how to start this article or to formally introduce this project of mine to you guys but here it is. I've been tweeting and sharing on noisecash about my problems with excessive clothes that I regularly declutter my drawers with the things that I don't use anymore. For the past month, I've been seeing Facebook and Instagram stories of my friends that they are selling their pre-loved clothes and it actually does work. They were able to sell it. Since I have clothes here that I just store in my drawer, I decided to create an Instagram account where I can post them, and maybe people can be interested in them and purchase them. I was hesitant about creating this account because I wasn't confident that people will have an interest in it. But I was finally able to create this account yesterday because I was feeling myself. Why selectedbypem? I named it selectedbypem. The "Pem" on the Instagram handle is my nickname and I chose the words "selected by" because I felt like the word "decluttered" is too generic. What do I plan to sell? I plan on selling the clothes that I no longer use. I would handpick it. I want to sell the good stuff because I don't want the buyer to have doubts about it. Plus having negative feedback on the items will just affect the engagement of the account with other Instagram users. I chose to create an Instagram account rather than a Facebook account because Facebook users are not my market. Usually, the people on Instagram are way willing to spend more money on items. Also, this account will not just post products but also support other local businesses. To clarify, this is not a business rather it was solely created to get rid of my clothes and to gain money from them. I plan on donating the money that I will be receiving to different non-government organizations without compromising my financial needs. Right now the account doesn't have any content. It's still a free-flowing project of mine. Also, as a sentimental person, it is difficult for me to let go of the things that I used to wear especially the ones that were given to me as gifts. Anyways, this is the closest way that you can follow me on Instagram. I do hope that you will support this project of mine that has a good cause that many will benefit from. You can also comment on your Instagram shops since selectedbypem's advocacy is also to promote local stores that sell quality products and has a good cause. You can check out the account through this link: selectedbypem https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=w0naj5enfte2&utm_content=n58puss I hope that this project of mine will have a good outcome in the long run and can help other people. This is my baby and I will take care of it as much as I can. P.S. I don't worry if the clothes will not be sold. This is just an attempt to get some profit out of it.

Change of Plans We live in a world where reality hits us in the most unexpected time and places. Today, as we celebrated my Grandfather's birthday, I decided to have a reality check and change some of my plans. What really were my plans? I set up a plan for December especially the holidays that I will spoil myself with the things I want; shoes, a shirt, etc. Mostly material things. But then after seeing the situation of my Uncle and Grandfather, I realized that I should allot my money on more important things since I still have a lot of clothes in-store. Upon arrival at my Grandfather's place, we greeted him with a happy birthday. He was just sitting on the floor with a set-up bed. I saw his sore right foot and because of it, he couldn't walk properly. I don't really know what caused that but he says that it might be arthritis. He was using crutches to help him walk. I even joked about how much he saves since he only wears one of his slippers for his left foot. We told him to get a check-up and to consider stopping smoking because it might add up to the current condition of his foot. I even scared him that if he doesn't stop smoking and his foot gets infected, the only option will there be is amputation. He is just a really hard-headed person. As we were talking, my Grandpa noticed that there was something on my Uncle's neck area. It was a lump on both sides. I feel bad for not noticing it and thankful for my Grandpa that he was very observant with my Uncle. He told us that he got it from working. They were building a fence and at that time they were already rushing to finish it and the cold might be the reason why he got lumps. I kept telling him that he should go see a doctor but just like my Grandpa, he is also a hard-headed person. He doesn't even listen to his wife which already told him to get it check-up. Money. Money is the problem. I think that was what my Uncle worries about. He kept self-medicating with antibiotics that it can cause antibiotic resistance in the long run. They are experiencing financial problems since he is just working as a construction worker and it will not be sufficient to feed his family and for his medications (if there will be). He even told me earlier that he was trying to ask for an advance salary of one thousand pesos but his employer didn't agree. There was a sudden change of plans because instead of spoiling myself of the things that I want, I will just accumulate the money that I will be earning here and I'll give some to him and to my grandpa for their medications. Money is worth spending if there is a reason and since I have BCH earnings, I will allot some of it to help them. To be honest, I don't feel sad at all with my decision because there isn't something that is giving me the reason to have second thoughts. I help other people which aren't my relatives and do not know me at all. And I wouldn't want my relatives to be left hanging, I will help them because I love them and I want to see them grow old as I achieve my dreams and eventually help them. My life isn't something to be worth living if there will no longer be present. There is no material thing that can even replace them. I am going to help in the best ways that I can.

@WanderingMedStudent 15 December 2021

Things To Consider In A Boarding House With the increased volume of individuals that are already vaccinated, the economy is already getting back little by little. One of these is the schools that are going to conduct limited face-to-face classes by next sem. I know some of you are already excited to experience the "boarding life" especially the second-year students who haven't experienced boarding and stayed the rest of their first year in the comfort of their homes due to this pandemic. As a third-year student who has already experienced boarding, I'll share with you the things that you should consider in a boarding house. Location The location is very important when considering renting a boarding house. This will indicate the price and the availability of resources. A boarding house which is near the schools is usually expensive because of the convenience it offers. So, expect that you are going to pay more when you get a boarding house if it's a walking distance from your school. Also, do your research about your boarding house's location and the nearby establishments. Find out if it's a quiet place to stay in or in a crowded area. If the signal is strong or weak and what network works in that area. The location also tells about the availability of your resources. Some of the boarding houses experience losing water during rush hours and frequent power interruptions. Choose a place where water and electricity are always available. Price There are a lot of factors that contribute to the price of the boarding house: location, size of the room, and amenities. You may encounter along with your college life stories on how other boarding houses are way too expensive and are not worth it. I know you are imagining of your future room already that you're going to stay the rest of the time that you are not in school. You may want to keep a room all for yourself and want to have your own restroom. These types of rooms are usually expensive especially when the room is designed to cater to two people. Since you want a room for yourself, you will be obliged to pay for the rent of two people. The amenities are also a factor in the pricing of a boarding house. Some places provide water heaters, fridges, kitchen areas, etc. If your chosen boarding house has all of these, then expect that it will be included in your monthly payment. **Availability of Resources** Some boarding houses have their own internet connections, water tanks, laundry shop, and cafeterias. These things will make your life easy but are also going to add up to your expenses. Boarding houses usually charge 150 pesos per boarder for the internet connection. So, if you don't want to always buy a load, then this is the cheapest way you can have access to the internet. It also depends on the internet provider that the place currently has. Water tanks are essential during rush hours. You don't want to take a bath using only a bucket of water. So, consider asking the landlord if there is an available water tank or if the place is not experiencing water loss. Landlord and Housemates Find a place or ask people if the landlord is nice towards the boarders or not. It is best if you find a landlord who really cares about the welfare of the boarders. Also, consider your future housemates/ roommates. Check if they are easy to be with or can be trusted. They are the ones that you can trust and ask for help. Always be vigilant, some roommates and landlords are nosy about your personal life and things. You can trust others but make sure that you stay vigilant to avoid unnecessary things to happen. Reason Identify the reason why you want to stay in a boarding house. Is it for the experience of boarding life, distance, etc? You may feel homesick sometimes so you should really think if you want to leave your house. Final thoughts: These are just the things that I look for in a boarding house. I hope this helps you find a good place. Also, it can apply to workers. Most especially, find a place that has a homey feeling where you can rest. Author's Note: I am at my final week of the semester and I will be taking a lot of exams this week and probably next week. I hope I will be able to squeeze in some articles even if I'm busy. Thank you for reading this!

Online Class Killed Me **Demotivated, Lazy, and Tired**. These are just some of the words that can describe me as a student who attends school via online class. Schooling isn't the same as before. Learning from online classes is way different from the actual lectures held in classrooms. Tons of activities that aren't being done by me, or should I say in generic college students term "**backlogs**". It's just on my dashboards piling up. You might have seen on my posts on noisecash that I submit activities on a long list of notifications, it's because those are just the activities that need to be done and are already close to their due dates. **Deadlines** are the main reason why my brain works, it pressures me. As a student who became a procrastinator through time, **failing is what I fear**. This is what keeps me going, the reason why I still have the drive to submit activities. **Online class killed the burning passion in me**. I am not the most studious student out there but I was a studious person. My student life before is way different than what I am now. I wouldn't let any activity slip on my to-do list before but now? Unfortunately, I have been missing out on some of it. Before, I would review my notes on a daily basis even without a quiz or an exam. With my situation now, sometimes I just review my notes for an hour or during the exams. That is how this current learning modality turned me into a lazy academic monster. I tried. I tried to consider this learning set-up as regular classes held in school but my environment doesn't allow me. Staying here at home also means attending to my duties --- helping out with the household chores and helping in our business. I wouldn't forget my insensitive neighbors that kept their speakers at a max volume adding as a distraction while learning. My environment caused drastic damage to my learning and it led me to fail my exams. Never in my life that I wanted to retake an exam because of failing it. I would gladly retake an exam if it was really hard and if I really studied and still failed for it. Last sem, I retook an exam. It's because my score didn't make it to the 75% passing. I did not have any choice but to retake it and unfortunately, still my score didn't make it. My score that time was 71 and the passing score was 75. I hated myself because of it. The removal exams didn't change anything. Fortunately, we were given a project that saved me from failing. Online classes suck, my memory retention is no longer working. I fear going back to school again because I didn't learn that much in the whole duration of online classes. Some of my instructors don't teach at all and some just give learning materials and returns once it's exam week. Now that I am in the last few days of attending online classes, I get scared even more because my fear of failing might come true when I return to school. I just wanted to let this all out. I am pissed at myself and to other people that contribute to my stress. If you are like me whose lost the burning passion for studying, I pray that we get back on track and with our tiny steps, let's hope that we will find ourselves the way we were. Author's note: Thank you for reading this! I hope that you are in a good situation. May the almighty God bless you! Padayon my fellow students!

Virtual Santa #ThePerfectGift2021 The Christmas holiday is celebrated throughout the world during December. Aside from our birthdays, it is one of the most anticipated days where we get to receive gifts from our loved ones. We, too, can give gifts at this time. I just finished reading @CoquiCoin 's #ThePerfectGiftChallenge2021 article and I want to hop in. To my virtual friends, here are my gifts for all of you. Without further ado, let's get started! **Sweater** As I was reading Sis Jinifer's article about #ThePerfectGiftChallenge2021, the first item that I thought of was a sweater. Ate @Ruffa was the first person to come into my mind to be gifted this. She's like a big sister for all of us here in readcash and noisecash and she gives off the warmth and pieces of advice that a big sister should have. Also, I think I already saw her wearing one and it suits her so well. I hope you'll like this virtual gift, Ate Ruffa. Piggy Bank @kushina always comments on my post regarding saving money and how he also wants to save. This Ipon Challenge has gained popularity in the past years. For me, he can do it in his virtual wallet by printing out this kind of layout or giving him the actual piggy bank. I know this will help him save money while keeping a track of it. **Necklace** I would want to give my friend, @carisdaneym2 a necklace. I've already seen her photo and one thing that I can think of adding to her is jewelry. Since she's already cute and has a Babyface, a necklace can help her look mature. I know this will suit her well. Eyeglasses Lanyard For someone who is wearing eyeglasses, it is impossible not to forget to bring them or to not accidentally drop them. @immaryandmerry, I am giving this to you as my virtual gift so that you can just wear your glasses or just hang them on when you are not using them. Make-roscope I saw this Keychain Microscope on TikTok a few weeks ago and the first person that came into my mind was @imanagrcltrst. Since she's doing her research, I know this will help her a lot since it's just very handy and she can use it just by connecting this through her phone. If some of you are interested, here is the TikTok Account: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSeymAJyW/ Gift Certificates/ Vouchers I wouldn't forget to send some e-vouchers to @Eirolfeam2. To someone who is hooked up in buying e-vouchers on Shopee, this is the perfect gift for you. And for me, this is a practical gift. Hygiene Kit / COVID-19 Personal Kit Of course, I wouldn't forget the rest of you. I can't think of any gifts one by one for you guys so I am generalizing it. We all need a COVID-19 Personal Kit, we can protect ourselves from the virus by using all of these. Stay safe everyone! What do you prefer, being asked what gift for Christmas or being surprised when receiving the gift? If I were to give someone a gift, I would want the person to really use it and so I am just going to ask what gift does he/she wants. Because nothing feels better than receiving the actual gift that you really want. But in some cases, the one receiving the gift lets the gifter decide on what to give. For me, it is also being considerate of the gifter's budget and capability to provide. Anyways, it will all depend on the person who will receive it. Every gift is valuable, it depends on the person receiving if he/she will value it. What about me, what do I want for Christmas? I already received one of my Christmas gifts, it's me getting fully vaccinated. But one thing that I want is a laptop that I can use for schooling and for some side hustles. I want gifts that I can really use. For example school supplies, hygiene Kit, Underwear, and etc. I've come to the point where I don't need unnecessary things. I want things in my life that I can really use and not just going to be a display in my room. Anyways, that's just me. How about you, what do you want from Christmas? Author's Note: I actually have something to post today but I think of joining this challenge as well. Hurry up and you still have a few hours to join this challenge and win prizes.

Questions I Get Asked As A Gay Person Curiosity is one main reason why people ask questions. Sometimes they are concerned and sometimes they are just being nosy with my life. Old people and new ones, I always get questions from them regarding my future and my sexuality. My best reply to them is by answering genuinely and to fill the holes in their minds because of their curiosity. I don't really get offended by their questions rather I am shocked that they are interested in my life. Here are some of the questions that I get asked and my common replies. Are you out? Do your parents know you're gay? Yes, I am openly out and my parents know that I am gay. How did I come out? I didn't I felt like I was forced to come out of my shell. While I was growing up, my Mom would always ask about my sexuality and I do not know myself back then--- to whom I was going to be. I didn't answer if I am gay or not rather my actions served as the questions. At first, they were very strict with me. When it comes to my gestures, actions, clothing, and the way I talked. They didn't want me to become a crossdresser to which I do not really like. It's not my cup of tea. I know that they were concerned about me and what other people are going to say and that it made them do that. But from time to time, my parents loosen up and didn't bother. I am thankful for them since they do not rub it in my face that I am less of a person. I may not have a coming out story but the fact that they accept me is already a big thing. Do you want to get married? There are a lot of questions regarding marriage. **Do you want to get married to a woman?** My answer would always be no but I am not closing my doors. I don't want to get married to a woman if it's just for the sake of having a kid. I want to marry someone if I can truly love unconditionally and without hesitation. **Do you want to get married to a gay man/ man?** If given the chance, Yes. I wouldn't force myself into a relationship that eventually is going to kill me. I do not chase, I attract. It's my mantra. If ever I wouldn't get married, then, it's okay. I can be happy on my own. Do you want to have kids? I do have an answer for this but it keeps on changing. People always tell me that I should have kids someday to have an heir of the things that I own. No, if it is for the sake of having an heir then, I will not have a child. I want to have a child because I want to give the love that is overflowing in me. I want that kid to have the life that I didn't have while I was growing up. There are ways to have a child it could be through adaptation or through in vitro fertilizer. I know there will be follow-up questions if I will be willing to adopt and my answer will be Yes but if there's a way and I will have the budget to have my child, then it is what I prefer to have. Are you planning to undergo gender reassignment surgery? I am happy with what I have right now and what's between my thighs does not make me less of a person. There's this one statement that I get annoyed at. ***"Here's your gay son, I know he's going to make you get rich someday."*** It's kind of sexist. Success does not depend on your sexuality or gender. Do not also depend on your success on other people. If you want to be successful, then, be the person who strives for success. Final thought... These are just the many questions that I get to answer as a gay man. I do not get offended by these but know that be sensitive enough to not ask when someone is not open to telling you about his/her sexuality. Author's Note: Hey guys! I decided to write this since I already shared with you an article about Gossiping About My Love life. I hope my articles will help you get to know me more. Thanks for reading this!

#SpotifyWrapped2021 2022 is fast approaching and we still have less than a month to enjoy 2021. Spotify Wrapped is an eagerly anticipated wrapped experience revealing the most played music, artists, albums, and playlists. It's like a fast track of everything that you have listened throughout the year. To be honest, I wasn't interested in last year's wrapped but I got excited when I saw that there is already a #SpotifyWrapped for this year. There is a cute video presentation of your Wrapped that shows the fast track of your activity in Spotify. I was surprised to see the time I spent listening to music. The majority of the time I spent playing music is the time I work out, take a bath, and midnight singing. I giggled when I read this. Hahahaha! Because it's true, NFTs became a trend this year and a lot of people have been hooked up to it. My top song of the year is Lover Boy by Phum Viphurit. As far as I know, he is a Thai singer-songwriter. I love to play this when I'm in the shower because I feel like I'm in a video shoot and it makes me feel good about myself. Try to listen to these songs and you'll figure out why I listen to them. The reason why I listen is that it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel sexy, free, confident, and happy. See? My top music moods are confident and chill. I love to play music that is upbeat and upbeat electronic. My phone volume would always be at max when I'm at the shower because it helps me wake up my body and I also do ramp modeling inside the shower. Hahahaha! I didn't expect this to happen. 55 different genres this year? 😱 This isn't intentional at all. I think it's because of the different playlists that I listen to with different music of different genres. #1 Dance Pop when I work out and take a bath. #2 OPM when I listen to different local bands especially Ben & Ben and sometimes Munimuni that was recommended to me by someone. #3 Chill R&B when I want to sing songs that are within the range of my voice. Sometimes I just imagine that I'm Kyla and Jr when I sing R & B songs. *Holy spirit activate* #4 Lo-fi beats I listen to this genre when I'm studying and cleaning my room. It feels like I'm doing a montage that I can put on a vlog when this type of music is playing. #5 Canadian Pop I think this is similar to upbeat songs but I am sure that the music is sung by Canadian artists/bands. Take a wild guess and try to identify which are the true truths and a lie about the music/podcast that I listen to on Spotify. Have you picked your guess? The next photo will reveal the answers. The lie was about the #1 Spotify playlist of the year. It's not Sam Smith's but the Confidence boost playlist. **Top Podcast** The top Podcast that I listened to was The Daily Disturbance by Anthony Pangilinan. Although I just listened to four of his podcasts, I will still recommend it for you to listen to because he is a great speaker. He knows to give pieces of advice and you might consider him as your long-lost parent who gives life advice to you as his child. **Top Artists** My top artist is my all-time favorite, Sam Smith. I love him so much that I would binge listen to his songs at 3 am. I also watched his concerts on YouTube when I want to destress. Unfortunately, we don't have the same range of voices. The Weeknd. I love him and his songs. Some say that his works are best to listen to when you are having a sexy time. Hahahaha. But since I'm single, I just enjoy it alone in the bathroom. I also love his cover with Ariana Grande which is Save Your Tears. I can't count the times that I watched their live performance on YouTube. Ben & Ben. Who wouldn't love this band? They are one of the outstanding local bands here in the Philippines. Their songs are relevant to this generation. It is also the playlist that I listened to when I reviewed for an exam and fortunately, I got a high score and passed. One of my favorite songs is Ride home which I listen to when I am traveling back home. The Lumineers. My friend was the one that influenced me to listen to their songs. I listen to it when I have the time and it's so amazing to listen to. The lyrics to their songs are top tier and also, they are one of the few bands that I listen to. Olivia Rodrigo. I wasn't expecting that she will be included in my top artists because I don't to songs. There are just a few songs that I listen to, Brutal, Driver's licensed, and Traitor. I guess I'm just influenced by the Olivia Rodrigo trend. Here is the summary picture of the top songs, artists, and genres that I listened to. I just can't imagine that my way of destressing and coping up would result in 26,813 minutes that I listened to music. All thanks to Spotify for fast-tracking my activities on their app. Also, I was smiling throughout while watching the video. What about you, have you viewed your Spotify Wrapped for this year? Do you also have the same songs that I listen to? Write them in the comments section! I found out that @kushina first wrote about this topic and as a courtesy, here is the link of his article about it.

Growing Up Took Away My Childhood Does it ever occur to you that you get to think of the things that you do when you're still a child? Because I do, I've been thinking of it these past few days. Growing up is a continuous transition to a new life but it also leaves the things that we do as we grow older. As bittersweet as it can be, we just have to accept that we are going to leave the things behind as we get older. I am writing this article as a time to reminisce and share with you the beautiful parts of my childhood. I didn't get to use gadgets while growing up so the things that you are about to read are mostly activities from outside the house and very provincial life. **Taking a dip at the river** This has a big part of my childhood. This is where I almost drowned, learned how to swim, and the place where I lost my tooth. Almost every day of the summer, my cousins and I would take a dip in here. My parents don't allow me and my siblings to take a swim but we always have a backup plan. We would borrow clothes from our cousins so that my parents wouldn't know that we actually swam in the river. Clever right? 😂 Aside from borrowing the clothes of my cousins, my Aunt prepared lunch for us and we would eat at the Kubo in our chicken farm. We would eat pansit canton with rice. All of the simple meals that we could eat. It's just so sad that we no longer swim in this river because it had become too polluted because of the irresponsible citizens who kept throwing garbage in the river. **Going to the mountains** Our family owns land in the mountains and my uncles and cousins would invite me to go with them. They would plant different vegetables and fruits there and they invite me to go with them when it's harvest time. Going to the mountains made me learn to love agriculture and planting. We planted sweet potatoes, sweet corn, peanuts, peppers, and other agricultural products that you can think of. I also learned how to harvest sweet potatoes by hand, you just locate the root and voila you just have to dig until you see the potato. One time, it was the harvest season of corn. The corn that was planted at that time was the one used for feeds. My cousin and I wanted to help and so we went there. We didn't wear any long sleeves and we just proceeded to help to harvest. It was so itchy. Hahahaha. My Dad and Uncle were laughing at us and told us that we should go home. Our 40 minutes trek going up was just 5 minutes trek downhill. As soon as we arrived near the river, we took a dip. Hahahaha. It helped ease the pain though but we will never help again. 😂 **Tagu-taguan/ Hide and Seek** We would play this all the time, whether it would be afternoon or at night. One time, it was already evening and we decided to play this game. We were too little that time and we would fit in different places. We would hide in the plants, plant walls, in the tricycle, and all the places that you could imagine. The Taya in this game is really kawawa because it's taking a lot of time to find us. Just imagine that we really enjoyed this game and our guardians would look for us because we haven't eaten our lunch or dinners. Hahahaha. **Luksong Baka** This is a difficult game. It requires jumping over the "baka/cow" without falling over it. One wrong move and your face will head straight over the floor. **Visiting the Cows** Almost every afternoon, my cousin would go visit the cows and bring them water. Water is scarce where the cows are located especially when it's the summer season. By that, my cousin needed to get water from the river and bring it over to the cows. I would go with him sometimes and we would ride at the back of the cows like a cowboy. Fortunately, their cows are not aggressive and allow us to ride. **Going to the rice fields** We do a lot of things when we're at the rice fields. My parents trained us to handle farm situations and even ordered us to look after it when it's already harvesting season so that the birds will not eat the rice. I would sometimes be the one to bring the food to the rice fields for our workers. And sometimes I am the one who's going to the rice milk to sell the sacks of rice. All in all, my parents taught us to learn how to farm and to look at the reality of life. One thing that we also do in the rice fields is to look after the ducks that my uncle owns. He owns 200 ducks and would graze at the rice fields and eat the snails and rice grains. Every 5 p.m., we would call the ducks and bring them to their cage. I remember that we would race in the rice fields and we would hold our shorts up so that the mud wouldn't get dirty. Hahahaha. **Visiting my relatives every day** Since I am not hooked on playing with gadgets and watching the television, I would visit my relatives every day. I go to their house every morning because I have nothing to do in my house until they would invite me to eat lunch and dinner. Basically, I grew up with a lot of elderly by my side. There isn't a chance that they would take care of me and I am forever grateful for that. **Taking a bath in the rain** I love this so so much! Taking a bath in the rain plus playing with friends. Ahhh I miss it! We would also fill up the plastics that were used as banderitas with water and we would throw them at each other's faces. We would just stop when someone is already crying and blame everyone for why they cried. 😂 I miss doing all of these things but only one thing doesn't allow me --- time. I don't have the time to do all these things anymore. Like visiting my relatives for example, in the past, I can visit them every day but now? I can't visit even if their houses are just near me. Growing up takes away the things that we usually do in the past but it's okay because it tells us that our lives are transitioning. As we grow older, we will experience never-ending transitions. It's just up to us on how we will end it. Author's Note: Hola! On the first day of December and I am happy because I was able to be productive and do all the things that I planned for today.

@WanderingMedStudent 29 November 2021

Gossiping About My Love Life Hey guys! I don't know where this blog will lead to but I just know that after publishing my midyear anniversary article is that I generated some topics that I should write about and one of them is about my love life. Yes, you've read it right --- about my love life. Since I am bored, I am just going to tell you my thoughts and stories about it. Let's consider this as gossiping about my love life. Hahahaha! I am an NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) and I am okay with that. In my 21 years of existence in this world, I never had one. I am that friend who is sometimes invested in other people's relationships than minding my own business. I just think that I can learn and maybe apply to my future romantic relationship about the things that I observed and maybe it can save me from making mistakes. High school is the time where you will find your love team inside your classrooms and me? I never had one. But it's okay. I'm always the third-wheel seatmate who always has to adjust when my seatmate is having a problem with her jowa. There are even times when I would sit in other chairs just to give way for them. Hahahaha! As I was talking with my friend yesterday night, she told me that I should have a jowa of my own so that our future topics will be about me and my jowa. Krazy hahahaha! As if I could get one at a grocery store. lol. I'm not into signing up on different dating apps, it's just not my thing. But I tried 0nce and I didn't even put my photo. The photos there were the meme photos that I saw online. In short, I just wanted to give it a try. Curiosity things. You can never be ready for love, I know it's just going to come naturally. Sometimes I ask myself if I really want to be in a relationship but I always end up realizing that I am contented with my single life. All I can ever think of is that I am just in love with the idea of love, with being someone. Well, I think most of us are like this. As I can observe in other people, some of them aren't really happy. Some of them got sexually harassed, physically hurt, and other worse things than you could imagine. I can tell that because my friends had experienced these kinds of treatments from their jowas. I get affected, in fact, I am that kind of friend who is really angrier and never really gets to move on from what happened. All that I am saying is that not every person who is in a relationship is happy, some of them are in sad, toxic, abusive relationships and worse is that they don't know how to escape. Let's admit it, love can be overwhelming and sometimes it makes us do stupid things. There are even instances where we get crazy over someone that if affected us and has abruptly changed us in a way that the people around us can no longer recognize us. Let me tell you a little secret. Can I trust you with this? If yes, you can proceed with reading. I am gay and my family knows that. I wasn't given the chance to formally come out but growing up, I was thrown questions about my sexuality. That time, I don't know what to answer. I was afraid. I didn't know what to do. All I ever do is enjoy life on the outside and have no freedom to express myself at home. One time I was with my mom. We went to her best friend to get something and as we travel back home, she said some words that hurt me and got me in an uncomfortable position. She asked if some of my gay friends are in a relationship and I said no. We all are not in a relationship. What made me uncomfortable was when she said that I shouldn't copy other gay people who have a partner. And I sunk and I felt like my head was just full of air. Clearly, my mom is lowkey homophobic. Lowkey since she still has friends and a son who is part of the LBGTQIA+ Community. This is the main reason why I have setbacks if I will be in a romantic relationship in the future. I want a private relationship but I am not going to make it an excuse to hide my jowa. Do you get my point? I don't want to sugarcoat my relationship with a "Private Relationship" status. I wrote this because I want you to look outside the picture that this is the reality of other people, whether it be heterosexuals or homosexuals. Anyone can experience these kinds of hardships while in a relationship. I just want to say that try your best to still always be there for your friend, even if it could be annoying sometimes. Author's note: Hello, I hope you enjoyed this kind of blog or kwentuhan. I was actually going to write something for the lover that I lose but for some reason, my mind and heart are not cooperating. If ever you are in the same situations that I have mentioned, please think it through. Try to leave that toxic relationship.

@WanderingMedStudent 28 November 2021

WanderingMedStudent's Midyear Anniversary It was May 26 when I decided to create an account here. I told myself, why not give it a try and put my emotions into articles that maybe someone can relate with. As I count the articles that I wrote here on readcash, I found out that I already published sixty articles in just six months. That's plenty of articles already for me. I wasn't a natural in writing but I learned to observe myself and have my own style of telling my stories and writing my articles. One of my friends told me, "kapag sa readcash andali mong gumawa ng articles pero kapag essays sa school sobrang tinatamad ka." I find it funny because it's true and I answered, simply because I get to write on the topics that I love and it helps me express myself through writing. This platform served as my journal, I get to share here the lowest and highest points of my life. And all of you served as my listeners when I tell my stories. When I was still new to this platform these lovely people were the ones that showed their support by upvoting the articles that I had written. I will never forget the three of you @ZehraSky @immaryandmerry and @JulyAnn . I also looked through my old articles and I found out that since then some of you are already have been interacting with me. I never thought that I would go this far because after 4- 6 articles Rusty hasn't visited me yet. At that time I wanted to give up because I felt that my efforts are not being appreciated and the only validation that I needed was from Rusty which upvotes articles. But I was wrong, what kept me going was your feedbacks. Aside from the upvotes of Rusty, what matters the most are you guys. So, thank you! Of course, I wouldn't forget the love and support of the Noiseristificationism Family. I found internet friends from this chat group. Although I wasn't active at first in the chat group in the long run I realized that I had to loosen up and try to open myself to other people. I am not going to mention some of the individuals that I get to interact with because you already know who you are. I'm wishing you all the best in life! Read cash gave me the opportunity to share my advocacies. I felt like a beauty queen who shares her advocacies but in article form. As I turn six months here on readcash, I will still try my best to write and publish articles every week. Readcash also paved the way for me to achieve the things that I want in life, I was able to have my skin get checked up and also wrote articles that can be of help to other people. I can still remember the first time that the @TheRandomRewarder noticed my article, that was the time when I was at my lowest point and I was already searching other blogging platforms where I can share my articles regardless of getting something in return. It also proves that there will always be a blessing that we can be grateful for even in the lowest points of our lives.

Am I ready to go back? Limited Face-to-Face Classes Thoughts One thing that we students want to happen is to go back to our schools because it's too difficult to learn in an online class. This type of learning is not suitable for all and it affected the way we learn. There are a lot of hindrances: internet connections, signals, power interruptions, household chores, and etc. Having to experience all of these things made us wish that life would go back to the old normal. It's so much easier to learn when we're at school when the teacher is in front of us implying knowledge to us. Not like in our homes which isn't an ideal place to learn. We lost so many lives due to these learning modalities and the health of others has deteriorated through the course of time. Learning is difficult in this time of pandemic and one thing that we want is to open the schools. But alongside our wishes to get back to the old normal, there are a lot of factors to consider. Just recently, my university conducted a survey about the limited face-to-face classes that they/we are trying to implement. It has been so hard for all of us to conduct laboratory activities at home, it was not the ideal place to do the activities. In the survey, there were questions such as the vaccination status, willingness to conduct limited f2f classes, what type of vaccine and etc. I am glad that my university is already preparing for it through the surveys but we are far behind other universities here in Bicol. Some of the institutions here are already conducting limited f2f. It isn't easy to get back to the way we were. We were asked to put our concerns in the survey and I answered them wholeheartedly. As a praning, I asked if the school is really ready to conduct limited f2f classes, have a backup plan, suggested that the computer laboratory should be available for the students to use, and most importantly assurance. The university cannot monitor 24/7 the students and staff. Once they are out of the school premises, the university will not have an idea of their whereabouts. These are just my concerns: Since the students/staff will be going back and staying in boarding houses, the possibility of bonding and drinking out with others should not be crossed out. What if one of those tested positive for COVID-19, what will be the plan of the school? We (students) did not really learn from this entire time of attending online classes. Some of us are afraid of failing once the limited f2f classes will be implemented. Will, there be additional class hours that will be implemented? How will the university convince our parents that it is safe to conduct face-to-face classes? Will the transport fare be reduced? My professor broke the news to us yesterday that the limited face-to-face classes are going to push through since they (faculty) have already talked it through. I was shocked by the news. All these times of wanting to go back to school got me questioning myself if I am already ready to go back. I even questioned the capability of the school to rise up for the expectations. Some schools are posting photos about their preparation for their limited face-to-face classes and my school isn't. We need assurance. We need proofs that they are prepared. It's not an easy thing to do. It's not the same anymore. I don't have a boarding house that I can get back to. I don't have a known person that potentially can be my roomie. I don't have the resources such as a laptop that I can use for possible reportings. And it's too scary to commute. All of my concerns are just easy if it's the old normal. I can find a boarding house and a roomie who can be a friend or an acquaintance. I can just go to the computer lab to create my reports. And I can commute without the fear of getting the virus. Every move is not easy now, it feels like everything can kill me. The fear of getting the virus is always present. I just wish that the school will live up to the expectations of us students and our parents for the #LigtasNaBalikEskwela. Author's Note: How about you, are you excited about the limited face-to-face classes? I know we miss going to school and bonding with our friends after classes but it's just too scary.

Organic food? Organic food! What is an organic food/product? People throughout history have been consuming organic foods. Over the last two decades, organic food has exploded in popularity. So, what do we mean by organic foods? The term "organic" refers to the process of how certain foods are produced. Organic foods have been grown without the use of artificial chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms (Brown, 2016). Food products must be free of food additives to be considered as organic. Produce can be called organic if it’s certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (McEvoy, 2019). Agriculture has been a 10,000-year-long experiment in growing plants and raising animals by trial and error (Poppenheimer, 2014). On the one side, crop yields have increased thanks to the use of synthetic chemicals and mechanization. In 1979, the USDA began a study of organic farming in response to increasing demands for information on the topic of Organic Farming, as well as energy shortages and public concern about food and the environment. In July 1980, a 94-page typewritten study detailing the findings and recommendations was released. They found out discoveries such as the increasing costs and uncertain availability of energy and chemical fertilizer, the decline in soil productivity and soil erosion, and hazards to humans and animals and food safety in the excessive use of pesticides. The Organic Foods Production Act was passed by Congress in 1990 to create a national standard for organically grown agricultural products and to promote organic food interstate commerce. Certified organic products are generally more expensive than their conventional counterparts (for which prices have been declining). Marketing and the distribution chain for organic products are relatively inefficient and costs are higher because of relatively small volumes (FAO, 2021). Reasons why organic foods are expensive; supplies are limited, production costs are higher and greater labor is required, post-harvesting handling is expensive because of the mandatory segregation of organic and conventional produce. Cost of Production is one of the reasons why organic foods are expensive. According to FAO; Environmental Enhancement and Protection, Higher Standards for Animal Welfare, Avoidance of Health Risks to farmers, and Rural Development are the reasons behind the prices of organic food. Not only does organic production help reduce public health risks, but mounting evidence also shows that food grown organically are rich in nutrients, such as Vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, with less exposure to nitrates and pesticide residues in organically grown fruits, vegetables, and grains when compared to conventionally grown products (Haumann). Organic foods reduce public health especially those that are vulnerable to illnesses. Offering organic foods to the markets gives the consumers option of choosing the products that do not use chemical products. Usually, we import products coming from other nations because it is not available to our country or we just have limited supplies. This is being done to provide for the needs of the people. Locally grown food has a lot to offer, families are now making it a habit to buy from local farmers even if it’s just a portion of their weekly grocery. Locally grown food creates important economic opportunities, provides health benefits, and helps to reduce environmental impact. It also helps bring the community together and gives people the opportunity to make a difference (Arrowquip, 2017). One of the reasons why consumers buy locally grown foods is because they are complacent about where the food came from. For others, supporting community economics and building relationships with local food producers is incredibly important, as is protecting the environment (Arrowquip, 2017). By this kind of activity, they are supporting the local farmers and uplifting them to do more. Classification of Locally Grown Foods and their Advantages and Disadvantages How do we classify locally grown foods? Nationwide, local foods are often sold directly to consumers through farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and community-supported agriculture (Hand, 2018). Most often, the locally grown foods that you can buy from farmers are the ones that are in season. According to Arrowquip (2017), the benefits of locally grown foods are; pesticide-free, preservative-free, improved nutrition, supports diet-related conditions, encourages eating a well-balanced diet, and it improves food safety. The disadvantage of locally grown food is that we cannot have it if it is not in season. Importing products from other countries has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of it is that we can eat foods that are not available to our country. But it also has its disadvantages. It has the risk of introducing foreign pests to our native lands and other foodborne diseases. 2015 WHO report on the estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases presented the first-ever estimates of disease burden caused by 31 foodborne agents (bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, and chemicals) at the global and regional level (WHO, 2020). Food Safety It is now considered more efficient to focus inspection activities on ensuring compliance of systems for food safety management (implementation of the general principles for food hygiene and HACCP-based approaches) that can minimize the occurrence of food safety problems (FAO, 2021). Usually, before imported products are being brought to the local markets, it goes through strict inspection and monitoring by the enforcers. By this, pests and foodborne diseases can be prevented from entering the country. Growing your own food has a lot to offer. This year in the middle of a pandemic, we started to grow plants in the backyard of my grandmother. The benefit of it is that we do not have to buy vegetables from the market because it is already available. And we have peace of mind because we know how safe our food is because we grow it ourselves. We are now self-sustaining in a way that we can produce our own food. Author's note: Hey guys! This is one of the essays that I wrote for my subject in Organic Chemistry. I just wanted to share it with you since I exerted efforts into writing this. Feel free to judge my essay writing skills. If you're wondering about the citations, it's because my professor asked us to do research and indicate the author's to give them credits. Anyways, thank you for reading this. May God bless you!

Saturday With Friends November 20, 2021 I met up with some of my board mate/friends in Legazpi City where two of them resides. One of my friends also lives in the same town as me and we went there using their family car. I thought there will be no one who's going to ride with us but little did I know that his mom and sister will join us. I was shocked as I opened the back door, it was his mom. Hahahaha! We arrived at the Pacific mall 30 minutes before 3 o'clock and we dropped his mom and sister there. It was also the place where we parked the car since the parking lot in SM LEGAZPI City is always full and is difficult to park at. While waiting for our friends to arrive, I went to my derma clinic which was located in the vicinity of the mall grounds. Unfortunately, there wasn't any available product that I was prescribed --- it was sold out. It was the reason why I went to Legazpi in the first place. I decided to just claim some of the National Bookstores vouchers that I bought in the Shopee 11.11 sale. It was a great steal! As I was paying, Sarah Gene arrived. We walked going to SM City Legazpi and it was so tiring and exhausting because of the heat of the sun! As we got there, I told them that I have to finish some of my errands. Check out Toby's Sports dumbbells, and that's it. That's the final errand that I got for that day and we waited for our other friend to arrive. Since we were a friend group, there comes this question. "Where are we going to eat?" Hahaha! We then finally decided to eat at Bigg's Diner. It is one of Bicol's Best Diner. Of course, there was a mandatory photo op after this shot. I couldn't share our photos here for our privacy. Hihi. As usual, we catch up with each other and tell the latest happenings in our lives. My friend Sarah treated us to some coffee that she ordered in Starbucks (Yayamanin si friend! Hahaha!) There was a lot more storytelling while drinking coffee. We also did a TikTok video. Hahahahahaha! There was also an art gallery, this artwork caught my attention. It depicts a medical front liner wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). The medical front liner's face is showing how tired she was looking and sat on the floor to rest. I was also alarmed because there are a lot of kids that were in the mall earlier. To be honest, I'm kind of angry and disappointed at the parents that brought their child to the mall. We all know that it's going to be hard when their child gets infected by the virus. It will be hard to communicate. Bringing kids to the mall isn't the best idea, for now, it's just risking your child's health to the virus. We went home at around 6:30 and the unexpected happened. The car overheated and the engine wouldn't start. I mean, we were already one town away from the mall and the car started showing defects. It keeps overheating and the engine keeps stopping. The one thing that got me alarmed was when the car stopped in the middle of an uphill road and started moving back. There were cars behind us and I was so worried that the car would be bumped into other vehicles. My friend turned on the hazard button to alarm other motorists that we were having troubles with the car but they didn't know that because they kept on beeping at us. This guy came up to us and helped us to move the car on the side. He accompanied us together with Louise, the coffee shop owner on the other side of the road. Louise was so nice to help us and even allowed us to park the car inside their resort. She even offered water to use for the car. We tried to wait for the car to get going again but the heat just did not go away. We ended up parking the car inside Gem's resort. We stayed in the coffee shop for about an hour while waiting for the rescuers. Hahahaha. I have a new fave! The matcha latte was so good. Huhuhu. The place looks good and gives off a private space. I'll definitely date there if I have a jowa. Hahahaha. My friend's dad arrived with their mechanic and got the car fixed. But we rode the service car --- the range rover. Anyways, I arrived safe and sound and my mom didn't scold me for going home late. I was just so happy because Louise and her friend were so nice and very down to earth. That was the best stranger encounter. I hope there will be more strangers that are willing to help.

Truths That Technology Brings Us In Achieving “The Good Life” With the vast technological advancements that we are enjoying, some people do not want to be on board with the never-ending advancement of technology in our society. Some think that it functions to distract us, or that it is moving too fast, that soon we will be overrun by technology but when you look at the overall pros and cons of technology, its force for good is undeniable. And among all the benefits that it has added to humanity, the most powerful impact has been how it has helped bring people together. Before the invention of the Internet, people struggled in communication; the only way they would be able to stay in touch with one another was by writing a letter which has been said by our grandparents that could take months to reach its recipient. Technology has changed all that. In our time, family members who live on opposite sides of the world from one another can chat via video in real real-time as if they were in the same room. Modern mobile phones demonstrate probably the most rapid evolution in design. What is particularly impressive about some of these modern interfaces is their functional flexibility. You can check what time is it, set your alarm clock, monitor the weather; whether it will rain tomorrow or not so you can know if you will be able to go camping or hiking. We can easily do things others cannot be done in the past. It is important to acknowledge that students are already interested and engaged in using technology, this creates many amazing opportunities for students and teachers to benefit from integrating many forms of technology in the classroom and to make teaching and learning more effective. Using technology, students are more interested in the subjects they are learning. We can vouch in this because we know that technology makes our learning more fun and enjoyable and using other online learning resources. What is more, technology can encourage a more active participation in the learning process which can be hard to achieve through a traditional lecture environment. For instance, students can learn at their own speed, review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to. Additionally, technology can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. Access to the Internet gives students access to a broad range of resources to conduct research in different ways, which in turn can increase the engagement. By using technology in the classroom, both teachers and students can develop skills essential for the 21st century. Students can gain the skills they will need to be successful in the future. We live in a society that multitasking is expected. We are encouraged to eat while we work; Our consistent technological advancements eternalize and intensify this culture. A car shortens your 10 hours long way to 20 minutes long way, modern car let you charged your phone, using only Bluetooth speaker; while driving you can answer your calls without having a hard time. With the swipe of a smartphone, seniors can access transportation, grocery deliveries, handymen, and concierge doctors without having to leave the home. Technology has brought about improvements in physical health and comfort. Fitness trackers and various health apps can help people maintain their health, such as reminding them to take their pills and medications, and ensuring they are getting enough sleep. For example, research is exploring the benefits of mindfulness apps, apps delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and apps that predict people’s moods and intervene with support at just the right time. Have you ever faced navigation problems in an unfamiliar town? Of course we all have faced such issues when we move to a new place. Be it a business trip or a vacation. One can search for a particular place and then even pinpoint their specific destination; modern technology allows you to enjoy your outings by helping you navigate to anywhere. Technological innovation is considered as a major source of economic growth. Economic growth refers to the increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. The innovations include technological inventions such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, concentrated solar power, geothermal energy, ocean wave power and many other emerging innovations. Technology is not all positive, but it has helped us in a unique-spectacular- ways. The changes to make in technology makes it possible to create lower costs that is a direct effect of innovation is technological unemployment. In general, technology does make things quite simple. In just a blink of an eye, there is always technology that we can lean on. In education, it helps us to learn further, explore, and research things apart from what is being taught in school. There are a variety of mobile phone applications that can give us answers within a touch of button. In Healthcare, using technology deteriorates health conditions but it serves as a tool of education. Anyone can gather knowledge about health. Things are done within no time with the help of technology. Be it ordering food, shopping, paying bills, checking admissions, booking tickets and what not. These are just a few to mention. It brings advancement and growth in once society or country. Technology is indeed helpful in many ways and the technological innovation in today’s time, serves as sneak peek to what the future technological innovations will look like. These are just indications that technology has potential to have greater help to us in the future. Good life can have many interpretations depending on a person's definition of a good life. As a whole, technology does play a part in having good life as it cultivates and nurtures the fundamentals of human life. Doubtlessly, technology contributes in multifarious and numerous ways to the good life instrumentally in meeting the unending and evolving needs, desires and valued individual and collective ends such as communication, health, power, transportation and so on. Inevitability, the technology can support a good life. The thing here is, it’s up to us– mankind to make a good life. We have to drive and build the best utilization and a wise choice and not to forget being in our limits. In as much as we use it for efficaciously and healthy ways it can lead to a good life. Author's Note: Hey guys! This is actually an essay that I wrote for my STS subject last year. You may wonder that it has lots of topics that have been discussed about, it's because of my professor. She wanted to explain all of it. Anyways, I decided to share it with you here since I am quite busy reviewing for my exam tomorrow.

Sunday's Best! Sunday, November 14, 2021 Cycling or biking or whatever term you call it has a lot of benefits. One of which is that it takes some of my screen time. It stops me from using my phone all day long. I do have a lot of activities that are pending but I am not going be to guilty of going outside with my friends and having an afternoon bike ride. My friends are the ones that are eager to go for a bike ride this afternoon. They set up the time and to where we are going. I on the other hand was not yet sure because I am feeling lazy. Hahaha. But still, I went with them. The bicycle that I used was my Aunt's mountain bike since the available bike here in our house isn't built for long rides. We went to this place called "Stone Village" just located in my town. It was my first time going there and I didn't think that it was going to be hard. It took us almost 2 hours to get there because of the location. There was even a point where we opted to walk when the road was uphill. Hahaha. The road was uphills!! We were shouting out of our tiredness. We got down within 10 minutes because the roads were already downhill. Yes, akala mo naman talaga hindi mga nagsisigaw dahil sa pagod. Hahahaha. Nagkahiyaan pa humingi ng favor kay kuya to take our pictures. Hahahaha. Tamang groufie after a tiring ride. Bitches made it to the top! Hahahaha! The picture with Boyfie. Hahahaha charot! Mag isa lang kasi si Kuya tas sabi ko sa friend ko na picturean ako. Hahahaha! Umalis lang din si Kuya after 10 minutes. Pro-cyclist ata siya. Charuz! Ang vakla! Hahahahaha. Tamang picture na lang para makabawi sa pagod na dinanas. We left the Stone Village after 20 or 30 minutes of staying there and went to my friend's house to eat Kikiam and Lumpiang Shanghai. The lumpia was sooooo good! His mom treated us to some coca-cola. We left at my friend's house after 20 minutes and decided to try the new food stall that sells Beef Pares with unlimited rice. Unfortunately, we didn't push through because of the number of people. We then decided to check out the Tapsilogan that was near but it was full of people. We did some coffee run first at the town market before going back to the Tapsilogan. Fortunately, when we arrived there, some of the customers already left. We were laughing at each other because we were too shy to ask for some extra rice. Hahahahaha. We even played "maiba taya" 😭 As if we killed someone for being too shy. HAHAHAHA. Look at how far we go! HAHAHAHA. Mga bikerists naman talaga! We enjoyed our bike ride but we told ourselves that it's not going to happen again ---the long bike rides. 😃 I'm glad that I get to hit my target heart points by doing what I love. Biking has become a breather. Has let me unwind and breathe some fresh air. I even found out the way people in the barangay live their lives. I am happy that I get to spend my Sunday with genuine friends. That's why Sunday's best! Author's Note: I am overwhelmed by the amount that the bot/Random Rewarder has given me and thanks to all of you! The bot wouldn't give me that much amount if you guys didn't read it.

Wonderful Sale Of The Month | Shopee 11.11 Has everyone checked out their items on the cart already? If not, there's still time to think about whether to check it out or not. As they say, "Budol yourself once in a month". You can also tell yourself "Deserve ko 'to, hindi man ngayon pero sa future". Hahahahaha! E-commerce sites have the biggest sales every month and it is anticipated by many --- people of all ages! Not going to blame them for shopping online because it is very cheap. The prices of the items are way cheaper than the ones bought in department stores. I know some of you here have told yourself, "Ay sa Shopee ko na lang 'to bibilhin kasi mas mura dun" "Meron naman nito sa Shopee". I am guilty about that. Hahahaha. Because it's really true, majority of the items sold in malls can be found in Shopee or other e-commerce sites. It is also convenient especially in this time of pandemic where we are limited of going out. Let me share with you my online purchases and tell you the reason why I bought them. Avéne Trixera. This is prescribed by my dermatologist to use for the next two months. I don't mind sharing this with you because this is just a nourishing cream and not a drug. So, here's why I bought it. I asked the Instagram page of the clinic how much they sell it and they said that it cost 1950 pesos. I was shocked at first but I am already expecting that the medicines will be expensive. I checked on Zalora and found one that cost around 1500 pesos and it has a 25% off. One thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have free shipping. Since I remembered that it's going to be an 11.11 sale, I checked on Shopee and found the shop that is selling the same product. They sell it for only 921 pesos. Yes, 921 pesos!! Look how much money I saved. But I didn't order it right away, I read the reviews and got convinced that it was authentic based on the customers that once purchased in Derma Clinics, they said that it's exactly the same. The funny thing is I always message the shops and ask for assurance if it's authentic. Hahaha. Here's the message I sent them: "Hello po! Gusto ko po sanang bumili kaso medyo skeptical pa ako. How can you assure me na legit po ang products? Sorry po sa tanong." "Based on the reviews that I've read, I think you can be trusted naman po. I'll order it." After reading the reviews, I immediately checked out the product. Bahala na si Lord energy. Hahahaha! Facemasks. I ordered two sets of this. Even though we still have stocks of facemasks I still opted to buy them because I like how the product fits the face. And one reason also is that it looks edgier than the other Korean mask. Hahahaha! I bought it for only 18 pesos per pack and paid only 8 pesos for the shipping fee. Tongue scraper. Not long ago I was interested in purchasing a tongue scraper. I even want the rose gold color. But since I'm kind of tight on money, I just opted to buy this since it does the same thing as the other one. I got it for only 17 pesos and didn't pay the shipping fee. Thanks for the vouchers. Don't forget to take care of your oral health! E-vouchers! I actually tried this because of @Eirolfeam2 , I can tell that she "budolled me". Hahahaha! I always see on her posts that she buys e-vouchers on Shopee and I got curious and tried it. Funny thing is I didn't know that the Red Ribbon here in my town does not participate in this kind of sales and doesn't accept e-vouchers. Good thing is that I'm going to the city maybe next week. For me this is the most sulit purchases ever! My mom always tells us that we shouldn't limit ourselves when it comes to food. So, I don't mind whenever I spend hundreds of pesos in my food. I also ordered e-vouchers from National Book Store because I am planning to buy high lighters that I can use when I'm studying. This is all that I ordered online since I am not sure of the quality of the wrists straps on Shopee. I'm just going to check it out on the mall. I am still a classic member on Shopee because I don't usually order online. I just started purchasing online when the pandemic started. Anyways, here's a quick plug of my article: Shop Smart: Start saving your money! https://read.cash/@WanderingMedStudent/shop-smart-start-saving-your-money-0d98eb47 Author's Note: Hey!
