Vegetable Noodle Making
If I had known that noodle-making is as easy as changing your shirt, I would have done it a long time ago. 🤣
Well, this past few days aside from attending my kids with their modular activities which are getting more difficult every week, I also diverted my attention to other things to relieve my stress. This one I mentioned few days back, I attended a training about making noodles using our local products as an additional ingredient. I could have searched it in youtube but our internet connection doesn't allow me. So here was the process. It could be done manually even without a machine. In here I combine the procedure with the machine and manual.
Ingredients are
◾For squash◾
1kg. All-purpose Flour
420 grams pumpkin(boiled)
1 tbs. Salt(fine)
5 tsp. Lye
◾For Moringa◾
handful of moringa (removed from stem)
1 kg. All purpose Sifted flour
2 tbsp. Fine salt
5 tsp. Lye
2cups water
◾First things first, tie your hair and use hairnet and clean apron before starting to proccess. If you like your hair hanging and get mixed with the noodles and your dress get smudge with flour and yellows stains and greens when cooking so be it. Be sure you are the only one to eat your finnish product.Check your nails if they are properly cut. There might be some lurking creatures under it😁✌️. Wash your hands with soap and clean water. I prefer this than using sanitizers and alcohols because you are going to hand contact with the food.You can use hand gloves though but i'm not comfortable with it because i can't feel the texture of the dough. Lastly wear your mask.
Now here's the process.
◾Boil the pumpkin and weigh it to 420 grams before we made a puree by using a blender. If you don't have a blender, you can mash it.
◾For moringa wash the leaves then blend with the water.
◾Mix the lye thoroughly with the puree then strain. Use the spoon to press the lump of the squash that is formed if mashing is manually done but if you use the blender, there's no need for straining.
◾Next, mix the puree to the flour partially. Then using the hand, transfer it in on the table. Clasp a lump and knead it using the palm, the part near the wrist. You can use the rolling pin. When the puree incorporates with the flour, it is now ready for sheeting. Sheeting is the process of thinning the dough before it will be sliced.
*If manually done, use the rolling pin to make the dough into a smooth thin sheet-like clothing about .01 inch thick. Sheets must be at least 8-10 inches long. But using the sheeter, it would be easier. Using the sheeter you just let it pass the equipment a few times until no white marks of the flour can be seen. It is done lump by lump if using a small sheeter.
◾Set aside the sheets until all of the dough passed the process.
◾Now is the cutting process. By installing the cutter, let the sheets pass the machine and it will automatically be cut into strips.
*Manually done, you need to roll the sheet and using a knife, slice the edge thinly at least .01 inch thick.
💠Boiling💠
The next part is the boiling of the noodles.
◾Boil water in a pot and prepare a pot or basin with tap water for washing the newly boiled noodles. When the water reached the boiling point, drop the noodles. Be sure the noodles don't stick with each other before dropping. When the noodles float, scoop it out of the water. If having a large quantity, do not drop it one time. Do it gradually.
Transfer the cooked noodles in the prepared basin with tap water in it. The noodles are now ready for consumption. It is called fresh miki or fresh vegetable noodles. It can be mixed with other vegetables and meat. Just store it in a refrigerator for a longer span of shelf life.
🔥Frying🔥
This part was the one I was given the task with.
It's up to you if you want the noodles fresh or fried. But for those who do not have a refrigerator, fry it for a longer duration of shelf life.
We have a fryer actually but unfortunately, the trainer was not familiar with our fryer so we use the frying pan.
◾ Heat the oil in a pot or frying pan. The oil should be enough to submerge the noodles. Using a stainless molder drop boiled noodles in it and keep it in the fryer. The moment the noodles left the molder, it's already done.
* NOTE! dip the molder first for a minute in the hot oil before using so that the noodles won't stick to it.
Now we have a finnish product!!!

Time to Ponder
I believe that a person is a steward of God's creation seems to be just a myth today. Because of human activities, the environment is facing destruction which in turn, puts the whole of humankind to its greater challenge to date, its survival.
Humans and their environment are expected to co-exist. The environment gives a person his/her necessities in life such as food, shelter, and all other things needed for him/her to survive, while the person in return, must take care of the environment and ensure the benefit of our future generation. But, human beings abused it by destructing the creation of our creator. We cause this extensive global warming, depletion and ecological unevenness and pollution. We are the one who brought this curse upon us. Who are we going to blame? no one but us.
Fortunately, there are still good people that commit their effort to preserve our environment. Thanks to the people who protected our nature and still raise awareness worldwide about the hope that we can still save our mother earth. If we created this problem upon us then we are also the one who can lift it and solve this problem we are facing.
Using social media, we can help environmental advocates spread the insights about how our mother earth is hurting. We created much damage that we don't think of its impact on us also. We are buying much stuff just to satisfy our wants without thinking about what would follow next.Or rather more appropriate to say we still lack knowledge about it.
You like to buy junk foods right? Chocolates? Sodas? famous biscuits? have you tried checking it's ingredients? One ingredient of that favourite foodies of yours contains the product of palm tree. The more you consume those products with famous brands in it, more rainforest is being destroyed and trees being cut down to be replaced into palm tree plantation as it is needed for more production of palm oils and more income to businessmen as well.Sample products that contains palm oil? Check the images below. 👇
Another is cosmetics, tubes and containers of creams don't deteriorate so if they are disposed of **im**properly, the user is one of the contributor to landfills and adds to the earth's waste dilemma.
Diapers, I seldom find moms who use cloth diaper nowadays. Most rely on disposable diapers.I admit I also use dosposable nappies but not all of the time. I preferred to use cloth diapers which was preused by my eldest to the next one. Where would those diapers go after disposal when it can't be burn because of it's gel property and burning destroys our ozone layer? It will be dumped to landfills and it would take up to 500 years before it will decompose. So if for instance a single baby uses 5-10 diapers a day multiplied by 30 days that would be a little mountain. So if 100 babies consumes diapers in a single location in one month that would create a big mountain of nappies ⛰️! It's also one of responsible of clogging of canals because when it absorbed enough water it bulge and floats.
One can think even a single way of eliminating these problem of ours. Please do even just one either by cutting your habit in buying and eating junk foods, chocolates and products that contains palm oil. Please try to buy foods that doesn't contribute to destruction of your planet. It may be hard looking on those packs one by one but let's start it one step at a time.
Use organic way of beautifying yourself or the natural way.
If ever you are using disposables, you can remove the gel and flush it in the toilet bowl first or compost in a backyard pit before disposing .You helped minimize the landfill a hundred fold if you try to practice it everyday.
I don't recommend using of cotton than using disposables, why? It is same harmful to the environment from the production and proccess of its manufacturing. But if you have it already, well,you can reuse it many times.It's just that we should know the process on right disposal of our kids diapers.Understood that busy moms don't have much time to wash cloth diapers in addition to everyday laundry so it's a solution to use disposable alternately not the whole 24hours. And please guide your kids at an early age how to go to the toilet during potty moments so they will comprehend the right way to do and don't need to use XXL sizes for infants for Petes sake.
Be an environmental advocate, so never get bored if you will be seeing my posts with repetitive nature and environmental issues.
I hAven't edited this yet there might be typos. I'll edit later.

Her Ideal Man
My Ideal Man
I am looking for a man
That is simple and understanding.
He doesn't need to be a rich man
but is wealthy inside that can't be seized by anyone.
A man who will love me
for what I am and what I have.
For what I can offer
and for what I can't.
I am looking for him that is funny,
we would be a match because I am crazy.
A man that would make me laugh
in times when I am sad.
He should be compassionate
and tends to know my feelings,
in a glance without me telling
even if I am just overreacting.
I look for a man who can hold his temper
and regards himself slow to anger.
He should serve a model to his own family.
A good father to his children and a good husband to me.
I am looking for my man
that will address my parents as Mom and Dad.
Treat them with respect
and accepts their defects.
I know there will be no plenty of men
who holds decent qualities all in one,
so I only preferred to choose a few,
that would define a man I've been looking through.
I think it's enough already
I hope God Almighty
will grant him to me
Then I would be very lucky.

This is a poem from my daughter in compliance to one of her subjects about Personal Development.

Thank you for renewing your sponsorship sir @TruSuccessXpert. I appreciate it much. It would be lonely for miss @Jane to be alone in my sponsor box. 😅
Separation Anxiety of a child
I didn't feel much with this pandemic when it had created the worst situation in our lives. Not until 3 days ago a mother with her children ran away from a hospital in their location and came to our place by night travel. This place is their hometown as well. We didn't learn about it, but as soon as the sun rises in the east, groups of barangay officials were gathered in their vicinity and later the police came together with the ambulance. Someone tipped the authority.
The news spread quickly in our barangay and it happened that I had a transaction near their area. I learned that her daughter was a 4-year-old with congenital heart disease and tested and proven positive. The child was about to be transported to a General hospital in Baguio for total isolation and medication but the mother illegally moved out the patient and ran away from the facility and came in our barangay.
Reactions from netizens after the news was posted in our local FB page was divided. Some are judgemental, some are mothers like me and felt sympathetic towards the mother. Critics criticized the action of the mother but in conclusion, they all wished for the recuperation of the child. Even in our community, some were negative. Discussions arose after hearing the whole story, we felt compassion towards the family especially the mother. But we can't tolerate her action but we understand her. I tried to put myself in her shoes and weighed the situation. I could have done the same. With this news of erroneous tests on patients that even having flu, cough or a slight cold, you could become positive with Covid. Pneumonia and asthma become Covid. The rapid test is inaccurate. Your test result will become positive after the test and pay for it but after another test, your result will become negative. Men! we are humans not guinea pigs for Christ sake! Why release testing kits with inaccuracy. Fear and uncertainty will surely feed in your heart and mind as a mother after hearing those things. When you know your poor daughter has a heart failure and will be left alone in a new environment with strangers around and cries your name without you, how would you feel as a mother? We are not even sure if it is truly Covid or just a result of poor body resistance.
That moment I was like in the middle of 2 giant rocks. I tried weighing the situation in my head.
As a mother, I likewise won't allow my daughter with a heart failure to be alone in a new environment. They are mostly children with the age of feeling of separation anxiety.This stage is where the child is afraid of being separated from the person she is intimate with.
Anyway ... I am not like her. In every situation, I still gave a thought of the other side. My point here is the breach of protocols onto where the mother did not follow. I get it that she is doing her role as a mother but she didn't think her responsibility towards her fellow. We are under quarantine because of what she's done. I am not blaming her but I'm just stating my thought and the visible fact and result of mothers love. I do understand the point of the feeling of sympathy but when we do sympathize even though we know that we are endangering others, we cannot call the action right. At this point, mothers love do conquer everything but sometimes it also brings disaster to others. Perhaps there are ways she can do to be with her daughter. At least she tried to asked the attendant if she can be isolated with her daughter than to run away. Regarding the situation of the daughter,If it was me, I will give them a threat that if something would happen to my daughter without me, I will turn the world upside down.
But! there is this question, that what if it is a mistake. Or I can even sense that it is a mistake. How come a child with a heart failure get contaminated with COViD when they only stayed at home? Family members test is negative. Or is there no presence of Covid virus in the child after all?
The story was so puzzling though. But my point is, this Covid doesn't kill us. It is anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and hopelessness and false news that kills us.

Husband and wife
There was once a husband and a wife
Who took their vows to be together for life
They never quarrel
But sticking notes on their refrigerator and battling with their silent words.
H: They said love is like a river
A shelter from the storm
Why they never told me love is like a storm
It will drown you in the river?
W: I thought marriage is like heaven
I assumed love feels like paradise
I never thought you will be my ticket
To enter early in hell and be my nightmare.
H: I am alone, I had no worries
I think only of myself, I get rid of stress
I live peacefully
Maybe that's why God sent you to me.
W: I thought I would marry a man
a tall gorgeous one
when the deities passed and poured the gift
did you ever catch one?
H: I didn't think I would marry
I think a sorcerer had a curse on me
Where were you when the fairy
Had passed and sprayed beauty.
W: A fortune teller once told me
A charming man I would wed
I didn't think she was blind
or is she having a broken crystal ball?
H: Fi fie foo fum I smell the odour of a smelly man
Is he a butcher or a garbage man
He makes my nose twinge
I wanted to sneeze!
W: Ding dong bell, kitty in the well
who pushed her in, little Johny Flinn
Who will be the next
It would be you, my dear...

The Mysterious Boss
John was a security guard who works in a big house. This house was so huge that it can accommodate the numbers of people. He was working in here for almost 30 years.
For these 30 years of service, John finds something strange about his male boss. Whenever John opened the gate for him and greets him, he never responded. He thought of being him rude and stern. But that doesn't prevent John to continue his job.
There were big parties in the big house. John Always took some of the foods to bring it home. They were so poor that they can't afford to buy something more but only enough for their survival and even lacking.
There were lots of leftovers that are being thrown in the garbage bin and even piled beside it. John never hesitates to search the garbages and take home whatever useful things and foods he could take. Someone saw it but never say a word.
The next morning, John saw a bag of groceries near a pile of the garbage bin. He was happy and took it home. But it went on every day. John doesn't worry anymore about his family. The groceries helped a lot and it made their life better
Then suddenly he learned that his boss passed away. He was sad even though he felt unwanted and unnoticed by the man.
Then John noticed that he never saw any grocery near the garbage bin anymore. It made him feel unhappier. Again, they were struggling for their sustenance. He decided then to talk to the wife of his late boss for a raise in his salary.
When his female boss heard about it, she asked why he didn't ask for it earlier and why ask now? John explained a lot of reasons but in the end, he told the truth that he was contented in his life because of the bags of groceries he gets near a garbage bin every day What's more surprising to him was the reaction of the woman?
"It stopped when my husband died isn't it?" the woman asked, tears flowing from her eyes. The guard apologized for asking for the elevation of his salary. But the wife said "You are the seventh who received bags of groceries from my late husband. He was a good man."
John was shocked!
His boss? Stern and a rude man? but he kept it to himself. The following day, someone knocked on the door. It was his boss' son. He is holding a bag of groceries! But like his father, he never response when John said: "Thank You".
One day because of his emotion he said it loudly but added: " I'm sorry, please don't be offended."
The son turned and smiled, "I have a hearing problem just like my dad. But you are welcome."
John was silent. Deep inside he felt sorry for thinking that his boss was rude. He's wrong all along.

Hello guys! I'm attending a training for noodle making... I will update you soon when I come back. Seems the steps are just so easy peasy anyone can do it at home. Though i'm reading your articles i can't comment. Due to slow network, the comment box doesn't appear in my browser😅. That happens everytime so i only give you likes. 🙏
Tao gumising Ka!
Kaibigan bulag ka ba?
Kapaligira'y di mo ba nakikita.
Dati rati ang mundong ito'y kaygandang manahanan,
Ngunit ngayo'y tila di mo mawari ang kapaligiran
Dati rati hangin ay kaysarap langhapin
Kahit saan ka tutungo, nakakaginhawang damhin,
Ngunit ngayon ito'y nakamamatay,
Itim na usok di mo nanaising amuyin.
Ilog at karagatan na kaysarap magtampisaw,
Ngayo'y basura masayang lilitaw-litaw
Dagat na sariwang isda ibinibigay
Ngayo'y nangalutang ang mga patay.
Mga ibon ay lumuluha
Sa kawalan ng madadapuan,
Tao, ano ang iyong ginawa?
Kalikasa'y namamatay, pano' ka kaya mabubuhay?
Kalikasan ay may puso rin at pakiramdam,
Marunong sumaya at marunong magdamdam.
Alagaan mo at ngumingiti, abusuhin
mo at gumaganti.
Galitin mo'y d'yan ka magsisisi.
Kalikasan ay isang kaibigan,
Ibinibigay ating pangangailangan,
Mula sa pagkain, damit at tirahan,
Kaya't anu pa ang iyong nais at di ka makontento man lang.
Kalikasan ay di sa iyo, kaya mahiya ka naman,
Para din ito sa iba hindi para sa iyo lang,
Nakikinabang ka na nga, isipin mo rin ang iyong
kapwa
At ang sa mga henerasyon na sa iyo ay susunod pa.
Bawat punong iyong naitutumba, ilang libong buhay iyong sinira.
Bawat kalat mo sa iyong basura, ilang libong toneladang suliranin nakadadagdag ka pa.
Kaya gumising ka habang maaga pa
Huwag hintaying ang kalikasan ang magpapataw sayo ng parusa.
Bawat punong iyong naitatanim ay libo- libong buhay iyong sasagipin.
Bawat basura na iyong ibinubulsa, inang kalikasan iyong napapasaya.
Kaya't makinig ka aking kaibigan,
sama-sama nating alagaan ang mahal nating kalikasan.

Same Old and New Practices
As one of the Indigenous People in my country, I used to live with organic foods than processed one. If in a week I had a straight consumption of inorganic foods, my body and mind crave for organic nourishment. I don't know if any of you can relate what I am talking about. Maybe those who lived in a village-like me experience this. We use to be contended in plucking green vegetables in our backyards and from our good neighbours'.
Circumstances like overproduction of organic goods are overflowing in our community during the pandemic. Cases are, we can't consume everything we produce. Though we vend it to the market, prices become cheaper because most of the consumers or costumers have their product. Only those who work in offices can't propagate their own. "Law of price and demand " occur.
Fortunately, there are remedies regarding the problem. Someone acts as a bridge for farmers to contact consumers through messages and social media. This is to prevent the farmers' harvests and crops and effort to waste.
We also engage in bartering. One can barter any goods with another product or item. It was first introduced in the Philippines by the ancient ancestors of our country.
Before the Hispanic era in the Philippines. BARTER SYSTEM is already a normal practice of the Filipinos. No money involved.Filipinos bartered their goods like fruits and vegetables and spices for jewelries, weapons, linen from the foreigners who come to our country.
*The people in the Philippines had been trading with the Chinese over a long period of time long before the Spanish arrived. Phil Greco, a Los-Angeles-based entrepreneur, has salvaged more than 10,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain—some of them 2,000 years old and others from the Song and Ming dynasties— from 16 ship wreck sites off the Philippine islands of Panay, Mindanao and the Calamian Group, and auctioned them off in New York. Many of the pieces are in surprisingly good condition.*
I was a member of a certain FB group "Bontoc Barter" in our community. Farmers like us who have a lot of vegetables and can't sell it in the market will post and barter our goods in the community. You will just indicate what product you want to barter your goods with like 5 heads big Squash = 1 kg. Powdered Milk or 10 kilos sweet potato for a 2 kg. Detergent powder or 1-litres oil and members will just comment on the comment section" MINE". The first one to comment wins. The author of the post will reply "Yours". The direct message follows afterwards.
These days, aside from fruits vegetables, we also barter preloved clothes and items at home which are still in good condition, also with succulents and potted flowers for kitchen products, baking ingredients, bathroom necessities, and farm supplies. There are barter systems all over the country but engaging in a small group is better because I can get rid of the risk of issues like bogus transactions and defective items bartered.
Here are some of what we barter in our group:
Another practice I appreciate most is the donation of vegetables to people victimized with calamities and during the pandemic. There are "Oplan Sayote"(vegetable pear), or whatever extra vegetables and crops available during the calamity and crisis are donated to our fellow countrymen. Aside from the regular relief goods, our government is giving to the victims. People like us also provides from the bottom of our heart either in cash or in kind. The BAYANIHAN still reigns in our hearts.
I hope you also have a Bayanihan in your place. Share your similar story too.

Seems Enticing BUT Don't!
I wrote this for newbies who don't know about this kind of scheme. If you are an explorer of chrome or any browser that looks for the good investing site, or sometimes it shows ads in some site, have you ever encountered this👇?
The image shows an ad showing a tempting BTC earning quickly. Looks enticing right. It even teaches users through a step by step demo in a video but I didn't include it. As you can see, it seems legit. You can earn from transferring your BTC to an exchanger with the high rate when you convert it to etherium. Hmmm, 🤑🤑🤑. BUT! This is a BIG SCAM!

You can earn from transferring your BTC to an exchanger with the high rate when you convert BTC to Etherium. Hmmm, 🤑🤑🤑. This specific exchange has a high crypto value. BUT!.. This is a BIG SCAM!
Check the underlined exchange link in #3, for a novice, it looks real. But if you try to copy the text ***digitalexchange.live*** and then find the review in Google, it will show complains and revelation how scam it is. The genuine digital exchange isn't spelt that way. It doesn't have (.live) in the end. Once you send your money in that exchange, I'm pretty sure your money will not come back to you anymore. Though Changelly is legit, they use it as a front in their posts to make it appear genuine. The first link that was being shown is fake. They use legit sites and just add some short word in it to look genuine but beware, it will gobble your earnings. They are bunch of scammers and creates an own exchange site to scam people.
Other ads are showing the same schemes but it only displays other colourful header style but if you will take a close at it, it's still the same method.
I Hope this article help.😊

Scampany I was involved once.
This may appears to be like @z_graedens Story yet here's my form.
I knew about crypto just a year ago when I brought forth my youngest girl in 2018. Remain at home parent doing likewise errands consistently and in leisure time watching videos in my old cellphone, it made me consider discovering approaches to acquire while remaining at home. It began when I joined Planpromatrix. My fellow Filipino knows this Ponzi scheme and, possibly for a novice like me with no involvement with Ponzi frameworks, I thought it's a decent method of investing money and inviting others seems easy to me so i joined. To earn is to invite and doing captcha challenge.New invites can raise your level from level 1 to the following level until you leave the table you are in. I am planning to leave the primary table to get my money reward and continue to the following table.
To acquire, I have to welcome through web-based media and should answer bunches of questions with respect to the venture stage I am in. Despite the fact that I saw posts about fixtures, bitcoins and cryptos, I don't focus on it. Tragically, my phone was an old model of Samsung so I can only with significant effort sign in to my record in Facebook and Messenger to engage inquirers of my posts. It disappoints me to see my same-leveled members raised to the following level while I remained the same. So following a half year, I surrendered.
In my Messenger, I saw a message from an individual inquiring as to whether Planpromatrix is acceptable and I revealed to him the advantage and disservices. Possibly it's the explanation I have no welcomes. I generally get them directly forthright. Not letting them hang with bogus expectations that they can acquire even they are snoozing. Much the same as the one invited me. She didn't reveal to me the significant things I expected to learn and know before I contributed. I was eager to realize that I can acquire through a manual human test (captcha) on a cellphone. She's soon after my cash. Once I contribute under her name she will be pushed and level up. Leaving me underneath on the most proficient method to figure out how to come up moreover.
The fellow acquainted with me about BNLimited. I can procure the EURO with this without inviting which i like most. He even elected to sponsor me on the if ever that i am interested. The acquiring was intriguing so I joined once more, I didn't let him support me. A dashboard shows my earnings each day relying upon the contributed sum and the conversion scale of the euro. The platform is ussually using Bitcoin but they are releasing euro for payments and transactions.0. 7%—1.5 will go to your earning depending on the investment and trade of software algorithm that was use to trade using euro currency. I don't know actually how it works but i was just lured by the way it earns while I'm doing nothing. 😅
However, I discovered that it's additionally fascinating to watch your income in your wallet than in the dashboard of the stage as it were. Not long, it falls into a trick when bitcoin had a quick drop that year. Heaps of individuals were lured by the alleged road to €×% =$$$ when the anniversary is quick drawing nearer.
The bit of leeway is I don't have cash that is the reason I wasn't pulled in to the offer. Unfortunately, I found out that there are some of my fellow in the close by province who joined the "road to millions" and even engaged in a credit institution just to top up with the new plan. However, a couple of days after, all the admins made a lot of excuses as to why the there are failure to withdrawals. I made my withdrawals when I sense something is wrong and it was a luck, withdrawal is still functioning that time. Dashboards and the site can't be accessed any longer. It completely misfunctioning in December 2018 when evidently it would be the commemoration of the platform. Year after they are only updating and updating then throwing blames to each other admins telling the members in the social media that they were not the original founder to escape being sued. 🙄Individuals are stating "@#" words in the groups yet admins previously left. That was the last time I participated in any tempting crypto investment.😔
Since that time It gave me a plan to learn fundamentals about bitcoin. Since to put investments into BNLimited, I have to open a bitcoin wallet so since we have Coined. ph, to begin with, I opened one and deposited the investment sum and send it to the company's address. In here I experienced addresses and crypto names that are new to me.😅
Next, I found out about message and gatherings on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. I tested and clicks each connection that says free cash, dollars, bitcoins however OMG! bitcoin has a ton of digits, it would take me a very long time before I ca claim🤣🤣🤣 . Pitiful to state most are generally tricks! If at any time there is, they are cheap and burns-through the vast majority of your time before you claim it. The most ideal approach to acquire more and quicker is to invite other users in which I am bad at.😁
I likewise joined airdrops and even earned from it, the first occasion when I learned ERC20. I thought Eth wallets are all the same so I lost some of my previous tokens. 😅
Indeed, hardly any days prior, I opened my old account in coinpot and cointiply. My husband got me another phone so web association is better with my new gained gadget yet, I have issues in connection still however in any event, better than the old broken one. A couple of genuine faucets I added like Pipeflare and Horizen. It consequently withdraws out your earnings legitimately to your wallet thought the amount is just so little. You can **click** this **lin****k if** you don't have and if ever that you are interested in it.😅 https://pipeflare.io/r/35ev https://getzen.cash/auth/register?ref=331896
I learned from before and even now as I wandered over social media and investing sites.
"Invest what you can afford to lose"- I continually read this previously and in each contributing site, I visited.

Every Single Penny Counts
During my childhood, I was fond of collecting stuff like beads, small toys, burloloys and anything that I think would be useful to me someday especially pennies of ¢. 25 that I find in the streets. Here in the Philippines, four 25 cents is equivalent to 1 peso or $0.021.
I remembered with that 1 peso alone I can buy any of these( 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons salted mini shrimp, 2 tablespoons salted fish, 1/4 cup oil, 1 piece of bread in the bakery, 2 pieces candies, I can go to the market with only $1 in my hand. I can buy me 1 kilo of rice and viand with my desired menu.
Unfortunately, I was shocked to find the prices here in our village to be so expensive compared to the lowland I came from. They will laugh at you if you ask how much 2 tablespoon of sugar is😅. They don't buy per kilo of rice in here but they buy per sack. Sugars, meat, salt and other kitchen groceries are bought per kilo and per bottle. My 1 dollar cannot buy not far than 2 bags of bakery bread (6 pieces each) 😁. I miss the old times, the old place, and the old memories wherein I can buy a lot of things with a small amount. If only I started to save that day until now I may become rich. 😅
All right my point is, back to the track, for what reason am I disclosing to you some piece of my recollections. It's simply that yesterday I was given a "thing" by an individual responsible for gathering cash from its members for reserve funds in a specific cooperative. In the wake of getting it and brought it home, I'm happy my children were glad to discover it after I handed it to them and they are so eager to install it at home, it in some part of the house, discussing where it should be put and considering their youngest brother likewise for him to reach at the thing if he has something to drop and share. Not a day passed and I heard something clunk. I grinned and realized that they began dropping a coin to their "treasure bank"😁. I consider it that way since it doesn't look like a piggy. Excuse the term.
I appreciate the initiative of the cooperative because they are encouraged to train our kids to save and value a single coin. They can soon understand and to realize that every single penny counts.
I made it a habit to place a coin in a shelf or a small container every day. This time I have something to put my coins now.
Why was it locked? Well, my kids have their savings account in the cooperative so for them to feel that their money was being saved. Instead of handing them to me and depositing it to the cooperative and showing them the passbook, it is more motivating to let them see and witness how their money being counted after days of saving. Some kids don't feel the digits in their passbooks so it is much better if they witness it with their own eyes. The key was handled by the collector. If I requested for it to be opened, he will come and unlock it and count the money and make a receipt for it and will be directly deposited to the kid's account. Just as simple as that. The code number in the padlock was the same as the number of its key.
◾PRACTICE to segregate even a little amount daily.
◾"Don't spend more than what you earn in a day."
◾I know some users who have a target amount to save in their savings account. So do, I but unlike them, I can't reach that amount quickly base on my family expenses so instead of being disappointed, I continued my goal but in a low stride.

The story of Magkang Bridge (local story)
I have heard a lot of creepy stories about bridges from my friends. But I have here a love story. A legend from our folks about a bridge that was located in our locality. I have no phone that the time I arrived here in my hometown when it's still made of sturdy wood so I guess i can't help to show you the old one. I will just manage to show you this drawing as it was connected with the story.I drew it when an elementary teacher asked me to do it so she can have a compilation of native stories with my illustrations. It doesn't look good but i hope it served it's purpose. 😅
Magkang was a giant, believed to be a fearful one but has a good heart. He was once inloved to a very beautiful maiden in the barangay of Talubin.
One day, he tried his luck to sought for his happiness and courted the maiden. But the young lady doesn't like him so. She gave Magkang different difficult **tasks** but all of it, in the end, the giant accomplished it successfully.The maiden was so worried.
In the end, the maiden thought of something very tough mission to give to the giant to fulfill. She gave him the task to make a bridge in order to connect the village that was separated by a large stream. Magkang was to finish it before dawn or else there won't be courting anymore so this will be his last chance. Magkang accepted the challenge. Why not? He loved the young lady so much that he will do everything to win her heart.
On the other hand, the maiden sought for help to Lumawig, the god of heaven and earth to let the sun shine when she saw that Magkang was about to finish his task before the dawn. Fear surged into her heart as she doesn't want to marry a giant. Lumawig granted her wish and let the sun rise in the heavens.
Magkang felt sad. As he watched the sun rose in the sky, while he was almost done with the bridge, he felt defeat.He stopped doing his task and slumped in the foot of the mountain mourning for his loss.
However, Lumawig felt compassion towards the giant. He then decided to transform Magkang into a normal human being, that way, he can live normally with the one he loves.
By becoming a normal being Magkang courted the maiden again and served her with every task in their house by collecting firewood, pounding rice, hunting game from the forest and many more that the maiden can't ask for anything else.
Before the year ended, Magkang and the maiden got married and they lived happily ever after. The wooden bridge remained and it lasted for how many years. The bridge then was named after the giant's name "Magkang Bridge" .
While I was on my way to the field and was walking alongside the mainroad, I had a glimpse of our bridge named "Magkang". This was the modern one. But few years ago it was made of sturdy woods that can stay even many typhoons had passed. Not long when it was changed into an iron bridge to be able to hold heavy equipments to pass through for constructions of main roads and widening of highways from our village to the other part of the province. But the name still remain. 😊

Violence Against Women and Children PH
**(VAWC)** Is anyone of you being aware of this act? According to Republic Act 9262,
IT IS AN ACT DEFINING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, PROVIDING FOR PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR VICTIMS, PRESCRIBING PENALTIES THEREFORE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. In the U.S they call it ***(VAWA)*** *Violence Against Women Act* initially signed into law by Former **Pres. Bill** ****Clinton**** last September 1994.
We never know, we have Filipino women in this platform who are experiencing violence and another kind of maltreatment from their husbands. We have many cases in our country about violence against women and children that's why the I wanted to extend my knowledge to all of you as you might encounter people with the kind of situation and you can share it with them.
***"Anti-Violence Against Women and*** ***Their Children Act of 2004***”. Our government aims to protect the dignity and freedom of women and their children and to have full respect from human rights. Women and chilren are the most vulnerable ones, so in a chaotic relationship, they become the victims and most disadvantaged. 18 yrs old below are considered children. Beyond 18 who are incapable of deciding for themselves due to emotional, physical, and mental illness are still considered under the protection law. Therefore, the state agreed that any offence regarding the abuse of either the woman and her children(legitimate, illegitimate) shall face penalty depending on the ground committed by the offender. We need to combat and violence and give protection to women and children.
**VAWC** is a crime. This was signed by Former President *Gloria Macapagal* on March,2004. This ensures the safety of a woman and her children from the abuse of her
🔹husband ex-husband
🔹live-in partner or ex live-in partner
🔹boyfriend/girlfriend or ex boyfriend/girlfriend
🔹dating partner or former dating partner.
A woman has a right to complain and file a case if she or her child is experiencing abuses from his partner. Abuse doesn't only includes sexual assault, physical abuse but recounted verbal insults as well, economic abuse, and threats by an offender to his partner.
Here are the classifications of abuses:
📍First is the ***physical violence*** which pertains to harming the victim physically.
**👊Battered wife**- VAWC has a great effect on women especially for prolonged battering experience. Cases are, women that are being abused physically are triggered and commits murder and kill their partner thinking it the only way to escape her suffering.However, it can become a defense for a women called *BATTERED WIFE SYNDROME* to win over a murder case in court provided she sought for help and be diagnosed by a psychiatrist and clinical psychologist for having a battered wife syndrome in order to have a just decision in her case.
📍Next is ***Sexual violence*** that pertains to
(1) rape, sexual harassment, the act of lasciviousness, treating a woman and her child as sex toys, forcefully letting them watch obscene publications and videos or do indecent acts for film making. Forcing the victim to live together in the conjugal home or sleep together in the same room is another sexual violence.
(2)Another sexual violence is the acts resulting or trying to force the victim to do sexual acts forcefully and threatening and pressuring the person.
(3)Prostituting the woman and child- some men
pushed their wives and their children to engage prostitution just to have someone to provide for their bad vices instead of them a man provides for his family. Others uses the woman and her children for personal sexual benefit that cause demoralizing themselves.
***📍Psychological violence***- this is kind of violence in which others do not think a part of abusing and demoralizing a woman and child but the truth is, it also contributes one of the biggest abuse cases in our country and the other part of the world. One person who suffers from psychological violence became emotionally unstable and if not prevented, it leads them to end their own life and commit murder. If an abuser causes the victim to suffer mental and emotional difficulty, he can be sued. Also when the abuser frightens, harass, stalks the victim and destroying its property, it is a valid basis for complaint.
▪️Who wants to get insulted in public? No one. Insulting/humiliation in public and recounted verbal insult is still counted for physiological violence.
▪️ Others are cheating/adultery.
▪️Enabling the victim to witness physical, sexual, and psychological abuse of any of the member of the family including the victim or
▪️ to witness any form of pornography and
▪️ trying the victim to watch abusing and injuring pets and also
▪️denying the custody and visitation of children of both parties.
📍***Economic abuse***, this pertains to acts that make a woman financially dependent on the abuser. She is not given the freedom to do her ways about money budgeting and do not have the freedom to participate in any career she wants to engage with. The sole right in handling the money and their cojugal property is the husband which is not good. (depends if there's a history of mishandling of money from the wife that's another story) . And destroying of family/household property.
**Link** https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2004/03/08/republic-act-no-9262-s-2004/
Abusing maybe act directly or threatening the woman. It may be directly done to the wife and her children and her family members for threat. It maybe is done inside or outside the home premises.
Penalty for offenders proven guilty may be imprisoned and obliged to pay not less than 100,000php-300,000 for damage.
The offender also is obliged to undergo psychological counselling or psychiatric treatment.
The offender is not allowed to have the custody of the children even if the woman was found to have BATTERED WIFE SYNDROME.
Being drunk or under the influence of the prohibited drug is not a valid reason and is not an excuse for committing VAW.

**Dare or Not** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/dare-or-not-9d43782a
kugg, kugg.! .. Goes the hammer. I'm testing it over the surface of the wall. Surprisingly it gave a slight crack in the concrete wall in just a single blow. I made up my mind after a few minutes of deep thoughts. It's now or never. Blag!... I strike again. The cracks get wider this time making a widespread of the web from the previous crack I just made. I was more motivated to exert more pressure this time. I hit the wall again. The web gets wider and wider making a cracking sound. Then later some debris fell after a few more blow. It was followed by other larger pieces. A rusty thing was visible after I cleaned the debris. It appears to me that it was indeed an iron door! A rush of excitement suddenly flowed in my blood after witnessing the secret door that appeared in my dream that is in front of me now. .. So, it is real!
I quickly looked for an opening of the iron door I just discovered. The rust is just so thick that maybe the moist inside or the cold temperature made it thicker that it took me hours to find the appropriate tools to clean the sides of the door until I was able to break the main lock.
I made deep a sigh before I gave an intense kick. I worked thrice before the door gave up and as it laid on the stairway, an unexpected cold air meet my body. It was so very cold that It felt like a block of bucket ice flushed over my body. It seems like a balloon of cold air burst in front of me. I dragged the iron door out to give me the way inside that entrance. I can't see the inside part of the room. So I looked for our emergency flashlight before I planned to check inside. I collected all my guts before I slowly went down stepping from the stairway leading to the basement. From time to time stopping and gulping some confidence. Cobwebs are everywhere making it eerier. My eyes are slowly moving from side to side as I observed and check out my surroundings. It ended in a wide-spaced room. It doesn't look creepy than I thought and it doesn't look like what I saw in my dream. I can figure out that it was a good place once. Types of furniture are well arranged that if this would be cleaned up, it will be a nice room if only cobwebs are not all over the place. The presence of rodents is visible, yes, and other crawling living things. Their waste mixed the smell of humidity in this room. But all in all this room was a nice one once. Pile of different kinds of stuff are in the corner of the room but no more. I didn't find anything that feeds my curiosity. I opened the cabinets, there was nothing except for old stuff. There are even antiques in here. Why is it locked and seems forgotten? I found an old album in a pile of stuff. Based on the pictures, it was a family album. I was intrigued and stared at a boys' image. Maybe he's the one bothering me, I thought. He was beside a young girl maybe 3 years old. I flipped the pictures thinking I may find clues about the names in the picture. I found one. "Mom, Dad, Jimmy and Betty during my Betty's birthday dated April 26, 1986." The caption at the bank stated. So the boy is Jimmy.
I keep looking. The answers to my nightmares. My dream led me here so I must find the answers to my questions in here. However, I stayed long enough and didn't find anything. I already checked every corner even I'm shaking inside. But wait, what am I looking anyway? There was nothing in here. The picture doesn't help. I already felt dismayed. I want to end this nightmare as soon as possible or else it will make me insane. I was about to leave with a heavy heart when I heard mutterings in my ears. Seems a lot of people are talking to each other and they are uttering my name. "Dan, ... get me out of here... Dan... Dan..get me out of here" it's freakingly irritating my ears that I made a loud yell... "Hell, what do you want! Just leave me alone.! The door' is open just get out of here!... then stillness. I was breathing fast because of the pour in my emotion. Long silence... I almost gave up when there's something that caught my attention... It was a door I didn't notice lately. It is adjacent to a cabinet facing against the entryway and the centre of the room so it's not that visible. Only if you are near you can see it. It may serve as a space for cleaning tools. I slowly approached it quickly with no more exhibitions. I can feel it now. My name is getting cold. I broke the padlock attached to the door.
As I hold the knob and pulled it, something embraced me that I jumped backwards out of control. A skeleton! it fell in the floor. Seems the same height as me. oh! goodness! not just one but three! all are tied by the hands and feet so with their mouth and was surprisingly fitted the small space or they were put there in purpose despite the limited space. No! they are four! there is a small figure of the skeleton below the tall one's!
I fell to my knees and felt something gripped my heart. Images are playing in my mind, tortures, cries, beatings, blood! I didn't notice I was sobbing. Hell! even though I have the heart of a man I can't stand looking at this.Especially the child! What kind of animal has done this terrible thing! I imagined my younger sister being tortured and locked into this room and just die... it hurts the inside part of me.
"Dan! what the-...hey what's this?", I can hear the commotion outside. My family arrived from wherever they went. " Dan! are you there!" I heard dad getting near but I have no strength to respond. I was still sobbing looking at the little creature and the rest.
"Oh my Goodness!", mom was gaping with her hands in her mouth as she saw what's in front of me." The next thing I vaguely remember was being led by my dad out from the basement after dialling in his phone.
💮💮💮
I was watering our lawn when I heard my little sister talking to someone. She found a new playmate in our neighbourhood. That's good, as she won't bother me anymore. Yesterday was a dream. Polices came and the next is a pastor from mom's acquaintance. We held a small ceremony before the removal of the remains from the basement. I remain speechless when an officer interviewed me. I don't want to share my experience anymore. I don't think they will believe me anyway.
Today, it was surprisingly felt new. I became more alive than before. Mom and Dad may be worried but I assured them I'm ok. They apologized for not believing in me. Well, I can't blame them.
I approached my sister which is near a bush that I was about to water. "Excuse me, Daisy, will you transfer with your friend to the other side so you don't get wet."
"Sure brother!", she left and waved to her playmate. I think I scared her playmate away because I don't see anyone following her.
But I was shocked when I saw my sisters' next action.
My sister waived." Bye-bye, Betty!"
**THE END**

It's A blaze of light from the outside illuminated the entire room. It was my folks! The lights returned. Also, the figure vanished. I rushed to meet them and recounted the story yet, of course, they don't trust me. I held them by their hands and drove them to where I saw the footprints however there was no single print we saw on the floor! It's incomprehensible! I saw it before they showed up. Also, that figure. I saw it with my two eyes.
I can't believe this! I'm acting like a fool in front of my family! What happened sank well in my mind. During dinner I didn't eat much. Then mom and dad talked to me seriously.
" Son, if there is something we need to know just tell me. Are you somehow, taking drugs? Mom suddenly asked. Oh no. They thought I'm taking drugs! Good thing I assured them I was not.
" Are you being pressured with anything, just say yes if there if it's about the unusual figure you just saw lately according to you, forget it?" Dad said firmly.
No matter how I insist that what I saw is true, I can't just persuade them to believe me. I went to my room with downhearted.
I kept thinking about the issue over and over when I fall asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard somebody is calling my name outside my room. I followed it until it went ground floor. It continues calling me yet nobody is near. Everybody is snoozing so who was it that continues calling my name?" Dan, ... Over here..." a fading voice it is. I understood it originated from the entryway under the **staircase**. I don't have an idea that there is a mystery entryway in here. It creaked as I pushed the corroded door. It directs to a staircase going down."Dan, over here...." I heard it again. I went down.
I followed it until I stopped in the middle of the rubble. The door suddenly slammed behind me! I ran into it but it's locked already. I heard the voice again, with my shaking knees I slowly walked down the stairs one more time. Everyplace is a mess. It was filled up with discarded things. Rodents are wriggling nearby. The voice stopped. I pondered where it goes when I noticed something in the corner. I **walked** towards it slowly until the figure became fully clear to me. It's a mummy! But what surprised me is when it's head suddenly moved and it's sunken eyes meets mine. I wanted to scream but there was no voice comes out from my vocal cords. I was shocked. " Get.. me.. out...of here"! it says with a hoarse voice.
It's a nightmare! I woke up panting and sweat is all over my face. Whew! I was too much overthinking that accompanied me even in my dream. I was about to doze again when I noticed that my door is open! A shadow just passed. No. No. No. Not again. I hurriedly ran to the door and closed and locked it. I quickly reached for the switch to light up my room. I didn't sleep for hours.
It was almost dawn when finally I slept. But I was disturbed by the banging of the door. My mom is waking me up to attend our breakfast but I was too sleepy so I just let her leave. It's almost 2:00 pm when I woke up. I went downstairs to have a meal because I just felt so empty. There's no one in the house. I went to the kitchen and have a quick meal but my head is on to something. I can feel something is wrong with this house. Though it was new it is just so different in a mysterious way. I didn't feel like this in our old house.
I have a plan in my mind. I need to prove something. After I am done with my late brunch, I approached the tools my father kept in his toolbox. I looked for something useful in my plan. Then I went straight to the staircase. I was staring at it for a long moment. Then I stroked, It was smooth and painted and it's concrete how come there's a door in here. I poked the hammer in my hands and slightly hammering the surface in different spots, up and down, sideways, when I noticed the sound is different. It seems like the cement in some specific area especially the centre is not as thick as the side part. I hit the wall again and compared to sound. It's different. Now I should decide to continue with this or to face the consequences if this goes wrong. If I proceed with this and found nothing that would make my family conclude that I have lost my sanity. On the other hand, what if there is a mystery behind the wall?
Do you think Dan will dare to break down that wall? will he uncover something or will he just left it and forget all about it until he will get used to it.?🤔

The basement
***The first time I ventured inside the new*** ***house, I feel goosebumps all over. It appears somebody is taking a look at me keenly from each corner.***
It was a blessing from heaven. With my sister and I, this will be an incredible change in our life. Father was promoted from his work and it permitted us to live in an immense wonderful house we just observed in magazines. Plus the new car! Amazing! , I can't be lining out for the roadside to wait for jeepneys and sniffed the messy air from various vehicles.
This will be another life for me. Another level up I calls it. I can raise my jawline now at school and line up with the rich boys. Many will currently open up their hands and let me participate in their different groups and offer their jokes with me. I can predict it.
Everybody is energized when we arrive at the passage door of the subdivision we will enter. After the safety officer motioned the driver of our hired vehicle to enter, we can't loosen up our feet from shaking automatically. Everyone was struck by the excellence of the house before us just after we ventured down the mini elf that carried our heaps of belongings from our old leased house.
My younger sister was the first to pursue inside the house right after my dad opened the main door. "Dan! come look at this! " she yells from the inside so I followed her. It was much bigger than our old house. This is multiple times bigger and two stories with a storage room. The single room higher up is the size equivalent to our old house. Excluding the lawn outside.
Notwithstanding, regardless of how I appreciate the house there's something odd with it, the second I ventured inside the house the primary day, I feel goosebumps, I don't have the foggiest idea why. At whatever point only I'm, it appears somebody is watching me in each corner. It's freaking me out. I simply feel it. But I use to shrug it off my mind, I feel better. I informed my folks concerning it however they just giggled at me and said perhaps I'm as yet not used to the new surroundings. Also, because the house is so huge, one may feel there's someone else besides yourself when you are distant from everyone else. I felt alleviation after that.
Today, it's a holiday, however, I am separated from everyone else. Mother and Dad went to a memorial service in one of their compadres so they left me as I would prefer not to go because I have to do my school assignments. They took my sister as well so I can focus on my schoolwork.
As I am perusing my notes in my room I heard something fall the first floor. I thought it's my family who got back from the burial service. Yet, it's unexpectedly early. "Mom!... Dad!... Daisy!" I called out however no one is reacting. I can't be mixed up. I heard a sound since it's quiet so I chose to go down to beware of it however when I arrived at down the stairs, there's nobody around. Might it be able to be my creative mind? I chose to go to the kitchen to have something to bring to my room for a bite. I'm not in the disposition to cook for my viand so I will simply adhere to treats and frozen yoghurt.
I was shocked to see the stainless pot on the floor! I recollected that it was close to the sink as I am the person who washed it awhile ago. How could it land on the floor? I got it and put it to its original spot. Along these lines, this is the one I heard that fall. Perhaps I didn't set it well that is the reason it tumbled to the floor. I got my bite and was supposed to go back upstairs but I saw the seat additionally on the eating table was not aligned yet I adjusted it before I left the kitchen. I pushed it and went up.
6:00 pm and it's now dull, I went the first floor again to plan for supper. A decent preferred position of being poor is to figure out how to cook at an early age. Yet, my head unexpectedly felt enormous when I arrive at the kitchen and saw footprints on the tiled floor. It doesn't look like soil however dried blood! It's equivalent to the size of my feet. I am alone, why there's an impression of someone else in this house? I immediately checked out around me if there's anyone around. Nobody. I was going to continue to the kitchen when I feel somebody passed behind me. I feel it! I feel it! It abruptly offers goosebumps to me. I chose to run back to my room when out of nowhere the lights went off! My pulse was beating quick. Why now! I attempted to flicker my eyes to let it utilized with the darkness. I gradually opened it and saw distinctly inside the house was dim. But the lights in our entryway are still on! I continue blinking and adjust to my new surroundings when there! I saw a dull figure standing in our flight of stairs! No! It's my imaginative mind as it were. I squinted my eyes and opened it again however I was wide-eyed toward because presently the dark figure!... it's just a couple of feet from away from me!

"There are various **identities** appeared in here," Jack finally spoke after 15 minutes of silence. I situated myself behind him and taking a gaze at the data in the desktop screen while he is looking over and clicking. There! "Gotcha! Check his records, DNA's every last bit of it." Pointing at the screen and instructing my brother I seem as though his senior official yet this time I wouldn't mind.
"**Lieutenant Commander John Anthony Roxas Falcon** Aka "Hawk." Jack read the data.
"Perhaps his name was gotten from his last name. Check further". I have the riddle illuminated in my psyche yet Jack can't simply present himself to his superiors and announce " as indicated by my brother's vision" or probably he will end up being a fool. Everything must be sanctioned and smoothly ironed and documented.
I am holding a paper on DNA results. I stuffed it before my brother. He read it and take a gander at the screen, back to me and to the paper. He did it three times I counted, then with a loud yell he slapped the table.."Yes"!
💮💮💮Present...
I am standing in a garage infront of a white painted well furnished house. A warm embrace and tap in my shoulder stir me from fantasizing.We were invited to dine with the people living in that house. But the story like a VCD player continues playing in my mind...
▪️▪️⏮️ rewind
We face the suspect again after a break. This time I am focusing on his **features**. After I found out about his story, I need him to uncover his identity by himself and I know 2 ways how we can cause him to talk. "How are you, Sir?". Jack welcomed him brightly. In any case, no answer, similarly as we foresaw.
"All things considered, you can make this case simpler if you need however for what reason did you make it difficult for me to sort it out?" a trace of despondency in my sibling's voice... No answer.
Stuffing the papers out from the organizer, Jack spread them out in the table. He picked 2 photographs of men in military uniforms and push it facing the suspect. We traded looks with Jack when we saw his veins started to move. His grasps tighten and formed a fist. But still no words.
Base on the response of the man before us, We knew he recognizes them. Plan B. At the point when he still didn't talk, Jack addresses the radio motioning to let somebody inside. The suspect is still in his own world gazing at the particular photograph. At that point when the person we invited went into the room, he still didn't notice.
With a delicate cry, the lady behind him gradually expressed his name. "David"... With a robotic-like reaction from staring at the photo, the suspect suddenly raised his eyes and slowly turned his head. Expressions soften, the kind of look I noticed the first time I saw him...
..."J-Jane"... he murmured the name with tenderness.
◾◾⏭️ fast forward
In the wake of contrasting the information gathered from past and present records. We discovered that "Falcon" was the original identity of the impostor who was thought to be Jane's husband. His identities match the data recovered from his records. A previous associate of Captain David Arcillo Fuentes. He even attended the couple's wedding 2 years prior and I saw him in the wedding video. One of the faces I found in my vision likewise when I held the "suspect". The video also where I saw and notice the hands that fit the ring to his bride with a bit twisted thumb is the same to the person who was under my brother's custody which we mistakenly thought of a Psycho.
*Hawk has gone through a medical procedure and duplicated David's facial features and executed arranged mishap snare for the couple to win her Jane who made him obsessed with the lady the first occasion when he saw her, yet David won her already before that. That made him live in rage even more. He has the insecurity also of not levelling David's achievements. Since childhood, he has been the centre of his father's ridicule. Even when he was been promoted by ranks, it was always not enough. Until he met David, his rival in obtaining what was supposed to be his. That includes her Jane.*
Original David was present outside and came to the crime scene after hearing the frantic cries inside their home when he was stalking outside. The time Magda saw her in the garage. But he just moved and situated himself in a more discrete spot. *He was continually doing it just after he regained consciousness and strength from his mishap. Fortunately, a vendor found him in an unfavourable situation. He was burned everywhere but as the vendor noticed he was alive he brought him to the hospital. He woke up after two days but with his burns all over he needs to stay confined. He looked for his wife but upon realizing what was happening he used the vendor as his multi-task assistant to gather info's and reach his fellow associates. Everything was kept as confidential. He vowed to take his family back then...*
It was Jane and Magda. The ladies accidentally killed Hawk out of self-protection since he was going to slaughter Magda and including the child too.
The knife previously collected as proof was a fake. That is why I don't feel anything when I touched it. It's cold and silent. The original one used to stab Hawk was the knife I pulled from the kitchen.
*Just after he went into the house and saw what happened, he snatched a knife from the kitchen and let it stained with blood and held it with his own hands. He requested Magda to dispose of the original knife and don't place it in a visible spot and call the police. Jane was unconscious. His child disoriented and was still rubbing her eyes he kissed it in her forehead and with a nod motioned Magda to carry the child and oriented the woman to throw the blames in him. This was out of his plan. There should be no others involved if he will eliminate the devil. In any case, the knife was disposed of hurriedly that it still left a fingerprint on it before it was stuffed behind the cupboards.*
In light of the wounds, it is shallow and didn't hit any vital parts and doesn't fit the strong physique of the "suspect" as well though the fingerprints matched. It could be deeper if he ever did it. The cause of death is from the ruptured veins in the head of Hawk after collapsing into the tiled floor so no one is responsible for his death. He found it by himself.
🔆🔆🔆 present...
DAVID tapped me once more. He was booked for the surgical procedure the next week. I might want to see this couple live respectively again with the spouses genuine figure. As I entered my brother's car, I saw Magda and Jane smiling and waving while at the same time holding the infant.

**Part 2** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/bloodbath-2-f4577530
I requested that Jack take me to the crime scene before I will meet the eyewitness and the suspect later. I can detect well If am near where the homicide starts. It was as yet curtained with yellow alert tag. I wandered my eyes around. We went upstairs. Checked the main's room. That is the point at which I notice the disc player. I examined the compact disc rack and found what I'm searching for. It's the wedding video. I pushed it to the album player in the wake of turning the gadget on. I was eagerly viewing the video until the end. Record the projects in my mind.
I was acutely gazing at a 10,000 foot view holding tight the divider after we're done upstairs. The bride was smiling pleasantly, the lucky man also. Nobody can envision it will arrive at the purpose of a bloodbath. We at that point continue to the kitchen. With my gloves still on I contacted the sinks and each edge of it including the tables. Nothing, yet I can feel there's something in here. A thing grabbed my eye. I slide my center finger in it individually then gotcha! . I pulled it and offered it to my brother.
***
I viewed the lady before me intently. Jack acquainted us with one another. In spite of the fact that I knew her by the looks as of now. I shook her hands.
"I need you to reveal to me again the genuine story from the earliest starting point Mrs Garcia." Jack started."And don't skip." He Jokingly added. "Present yourself and disclose to me when and how did you met the couple, how well you know them, what have you observed...Now start."
"I met the couple two years ago..." I was sitting close to my sibling tuning in to all her words never to miss each and every of it. My fingers quietly tapping the table. My single direction of peculiarity. I saw a vision as I shook her hands recently.
"By the statement, you just let told me, do you swear there's no other one who contacted the blade, Mrs Garcia?"Jack made a decent inquiry, I advised him to ask that part once more. She had her first articulation and I just read it. I strongly took a gander at her responses. I saw her gulped a piece of air first prior to noting Jack.
"Indeed."
"That is to say, when you picked up awareness after blacking out you saw the suspect stabbed Mr. David and nearly cut the spouse also did I heard it right?" This wasn't asked previously.
"Y-Yes."
"Okay. Much obliged to you for your time we will meet you again later."Jack finished. I left first. I motioned my brother to draw close to me. I mentioned to meet with the suspect too.
🔆🔆🔆
One thing odd about this psycho is he has no records. No archives. He doesn't talk a lot. He just answers 2-4 words. Jack asked him a similar inquiry. In any case, he just got single word. "Hawk." Every time he was posed an alternate inquiry it's the main word he expressed.
Jack accepted this man was a stalker of Jane. He might be an admirer in those days however Jane picked David rather than him that made him rage. I examined him again intently. Starting from the head to visual piece of his body. He appears to have a bent thumb. I needed to touch his hands to master something. Yet, I wavered. What might be the vision? I needed to end it now so I abruptly reached his hands that made him staggered. I am stunned! I was quiet for a few minutes as I gazed at him straight in the eyes after i released his fist. He is currently taking a look at me perplexedly. Charmed by the looks in my face. This is getting intriguing.
I briskly went after the records in Jack's office. My sibling followed me and approached what I am searching for. He was asking what's the rush?
"Discover me records on your database with a name "Hawk" or aka's ASAP!" I answered.
"Is this something to do with the identity of the suspect? "Jack was interested at this point he began clicking his work area.
"Truly!" I grinned. You will settle this case less than 12 hours. Also, you will be more shocked with the result. I gave him a fiendish grin. He just shrugged and shakes his head however a smile wound his mouth.

Bloodbath . 2
**Part 1** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/bloodbath-92c97ea0
Magda heard the commotion in her neighbour's house. She wasn't used to it. It was almost 2 years when the house was bought by the couple. Hers was the closest to their house. She can say they were newlywed at that time. Sweet, she smirked. She was a widow and lives alone. Her 3 children got married and lived with their own. She lived a terrible marriage but manage to survive for the sake of her children. So every time she saw couples that are enjoying the contentment of being married, she felt envy and she doubts if they would last.
She still remembered that the first time she met her new neighbours personally when they invited her to attend to their baby's 1st birthday. She learned their name David and Jane and their baby, Chloe. She's not a party goer but the smile in their faces enticed her. She attended at first but wasn't followed later even they insisted, she declined. She doesn't feel close to her neighbours. She wanted them to mind their own. But these couples are just so persistent in making her close to them. Little presents and homemade dishes she always received. And managed to be used to it already. David and Jane always leave her a smile before getting into their car. Their new nanny became her new friend too. Somehow she never felt alone anymore.
But seems everything suddenly changed after the couple met an accident. It was 5 months ago. Jane got seriously injured. While David is surprisingly well. The pair didn't come home for almost a month. Magda has no idea which hospital they were confined that's why she can't even visit them. No one is in the house. One month after that, they came back home. Somehow she missed talking to them but she was surprised they didn't notice her since then. She can't talk to them properly as if they are always running out of time when they are out. The nanny was gone, so they always took the baby with them. Jane doesn't talk much also but when she looked at her, there were pleadings in her eyes. No more short greetings. Then comes the disturbance now and then. A hint of violence she can sense. Even it's not that loud she can feel it. She always hears Jane screams. She notions that her bad story of a marriage is happening to her neighbour as well. She let it pass. For now.
Until one night when that hateful noise happened again, she was about to intervene. She got out of her bed and with a quick pace from her house she was about to cross the border, but she noticed a man in the couple's garage. The border between her house and the couples' are just bushes about 3 ft. tall that she planted a long time ago. She thought that he's their other neighbour that wanted to interfere as well. She was about to get closer and approach that "someone" when he turned to her direction when he noticed her and hastily walked away. Magda stepped straight to the house and began pressing the doorbell. She was determined not to keep silent anymore. It took her minutes before someone opened the door. It was from David. There was fury in his eyes. Irritation was painted in his face. Maybe he was interrupted in maltreating with his wife that is why he was annoyed. But upon opening the door, his expressions changed. His expressions began to soften rapidly when she knew it was her and he smiled. Magda doesn't like the smile. It looks devilish. She asked for Jane but David said she was upstairs and not feeling well. "I bet she is", she mumbled to herself. She insisted she wants to talk to Jane. There, a hint of annoyance was in his eyes again. He just nods and went upstairs.
Three minutes later, Jane went down, Chloe was on shoulders asleep. Magda noticed the fresh bruise in Janes left cheek, her lips bit swollen as well. Her face was a bit damp, she speculated Jane made a quick wash up. But what surprised Magda more was the quick move of Jane towards her and panicking. She holds her sleeve and guides her towards the kitchen. Her lips trembling."Please help me,..take me out of here, ... He is a devil..he's not the man I loved anymore.! " Jane was babbling, not in her sanity maybe, Magda assumed. Who can blame him?. Magda tried to comfort her but Jane was adamant not to let her out without an assurance. Then Jane revealed everything her husband is doing at her. It's confirmed. Magda's history is happening to this woman in front of her. But she didn't expect the next revelation she heard. It kept her speechless for a moment. After a minute of silence,e she bade goodbye and assured Jane she will find a way to help her as soon as she can.
She was about to hold the doorknob when someone yanked her hair that made her flinch and pushed her to the wall. Suddenly everything went black.

Bloodbath
I was born with the ability to know if the person is telling the truth just by touching his hand and can see a vision for a few seconds limitly when I hold a thing. One day, as I was shaking someone’s hand I see an error message.
I am just a nobody. I preferred to be alone than to be with someone except my older brother. We were both orphans and lived our lives alone. My unique ability has helped us survived in this cruel world. My brother Jack was a police officer in our town. One of the best. Maybe if I pursued going to the university , perhaps we were in the same status right now but I didn't.Though most credit he always announced to me that it's because of my help he became successful I decline to accept the honour. For me it's nothing.
My brother was exhausted from solving a crime case. He always does. It has been 3 weeks but still, he wasn't unable to complete the puzzle he was shaping. There was a missing piece, he can feel it. That is his ability. He has a strong instinct.
He was working on a case about a man who was being murdered almost a month ago. His wife and their baby survived but the wife was seriously injured and was confined in the hospital and still can't talk because of trauma. The suspect was arrested and was under police custody with my brother.
Jack invited me to check what I can help with the case. He always does it when he can't figure out the real problem. Now, As I was reviewing on the suspect's statements and the witness as well so with the evidence collected, I felt that my brother is right. S**omething** is wrong upon looking at **it**. And that I was going to find out. Part of my instinct also was telling me my brother missed something. I trust my instinct and I never failed.
As I studied the suspect's features in his cell, a scary psycho.A hairless man with a good built that can pass as a bodybuilder or an ex military. But he looks scary because of the scars that were imprinted in the various parts of his face that looks like he took an acid bath. His lips were slightly cut in the right corner. When our eyes met, there was something in it I wanted to figure out also. I wanted to know what's the history behind this man. Every psycho does.
It's already past midnight but I was still in front of my brothers desktop. Staring blankly at the evidence collected. Papers are scattered in the table. Photos pinned in the wall. I keep rewinding the notes in my mind. The kitchen knife smeared with the blood of the victim I was concentrating. I touched it. Then a realization came to my mind.
My brother invited again the only witness in the said murder. As I suggested. I wanted to find something. I wanted to listen to **her** version of the story. But I had a plan before that.
**continuation** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/bloodbath-2-f4577530
Here we go again... MODULAR resumed. Well, 1 week rest has given me time to do the things i want. Mommies, tita's, lolas, mga ate, mga yaya and also with men who helps the modular activity of their kids and pamangkins and sisters in Pinas, Lets rock! 🤣🤣🤣
Mining in the 🇵🇭
Mining in our country is not a simple endeavour. Even so, the Philippines is home to many producers and exploration companies. It is said that we are one of the richest country years back then.
Though it is reported that the Philippines holds the second world’s second-largest gold deposits, it was remained untouched. The welfare of the people is the most priority because most gold and other precious minerals are located in a place where indigenous people lived. It resulted in the limiting of mining activities.
The result of limiting mining activities are resulting in the Philippines to become one of the slow players in the gold world. However, we played an important role in gold production ranking 24th in 2018. Not bad.How much more if we don't limit the mining activities. But other factors why mining hasn’t yet taken a firm hold in the country are the following.
**Poisoning:**
Mining can toxify the waters when the mining companies try to extract minerals using toxic chemicals like cyanide, sulfuric acid, ammonium nitrate, fuel oil (ANFO) for blasting tunnels; uranium, lead and gasoline, diesel fuel, and exhaust fumes from vehicles and equipment and
acetylene for welding and thawing.
**mining technology** (image) https://www.mining-technology.com/features/featureshould-cyanide-still-be-used-in-modern-day-mining-4809245/
Extraction of the metal comes with concerns surrounding health, safety, environmental hazards and rights of indigenous people will be the most affected one and will suffer the consequences. If these waste and chemicals will reach the fresh waters, like rivers there will be no more living creature that survives in it. And people who get in contact or drink with the water mixed with a chemical by accident will have the possibility of being poisoned.
**Land dispute**:
Most of the location of rich mineral deposits are found to be in an area were owned by indigenous people. I can prove this myself because I am an Indigenous People (IP). People like us do not approve of mining in our territory. We have special rights where we can decline any unusual operations that are being proposed if it is against our will. Even it promised improvement but shows a hint of destruction, it always failed to gain our approval. We value our natural reserves, our farms, our rivers that has been satisfying and giving us pleasure and raw foods to us and our children. Our land that was been defended by our forefathers till the last drop of their blood. Our land is more valuable to us than heaps of gold. There are numbers of company agents that come and tried to lure us into something tempting. They even made a "mini dam" proposal a front just to make an excuse to try to excavate our mountain. A free electricity supply and other material benefits and money they promised but they never succeed.
**Destruction of Natural Habitat**
Mining in the Philippines is mostly underground mining which lets the rocks and wastes earth from underground and is brought to the surface in which become toxic when in contact with air and water. The mine will be left as it is that may cause a great threat because once the mine collapse, the land above it will sink.
Citizens are even unaware that below the ground they are standing is a tunnel that may collapse anytime. It also causes soil erosion and deforestation because timbers from surrounding trees are used to support the tunnels from collapsing.
Lowering of water tables is caused by these underground mining also. It also alters the flow of groundwater and streams.
**Political Grip**
The first two factors I mentioned above were both factors that mining laws are giving tight interest. Additional to this is the welfare of the breadwinners who rely on their source of income from mining companies. There are even mining sites that we're being shut down after the Philippine President remarked on closing down all mining sites because they caused damage to our environment, land and waters alike. Fortunately, it was reconsidered after finding the effect of unemployment of many labourers in the whole country.
Now mining was allowed as long as it won't cause harm to the environment. Numerous permits to operate are denied. Several raids in private mining sites followed because there are still others who continuously operates despite the warnings and denial of a license for operation because they don't meet the requirement to operate.
It's a relief to our part because it minimizes the threat of the destruction of our nature. What's with the title of being the 1st in gold producer on the entire planet if our mother nature is crying. Let it be known that Nature is a silent killer. It responds to cruelty and abuse one can't ever expect.
The kiss Finale
**part 1** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/the-kiss-1fe68bc1
**part 2** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/the-kiss-2-e583d542
Tomorrow he will visit Annie in their home. He made a decision last night. She remembered her told him that it's not that far where she will transfer. So he decided to follow her after he graduates from college. That way they will not be missing each other.
The next day, he waited for someone to come out of Annie's house. An elderly, maybe their maid came out carrying garbage and disposing of it when he approached. He asked first if Annie is at home. He was surprised by the look of her face. She then scanned him from head to toes. Then with a sympathetic voice, her answer brought a bomb in his ears.
Annie was dead a month ago! A tragic death where her parents can't even accept.
How come? She was with him for how many days? He insisted and even showed the old woman his phone with Annie when they went out and having a good time together. But what's more surprising is all of the pictures he captured, he was alone! The old lady patted his shoulders telling him it's ok. She thought he was Annie's bf and hadn't moved on after Annie's death but No! she was with her.
Nathan was confused. He rolled back the memories they were together and trying to look for something he wasn't aware of what it is. Then a realization came into his mind! The kiss! it is different. Though it's sweet it feels like ice. Now he never hesitated to ask for the location of Annie's corpse. He takes note of everything and saved it in his notepad.
He drove straight to the cemetery where the old lady instructed. His feet are shaking and he thought of collapsing at any moment. Too many revelations he can't keep focused. When he arrived at a newly cemented spot. His tears involuntarily rolled down in his cheeks upon reading on the name encrypted in the gravestone."Annie Gem A. **Montes**" He fell on his knees and can't hold back his emotions and began to weep loudly. His Annie was gone. So it is true. It was confirmed that he was in love with a ghost! A chill suddenly enveloped his body. But he felt comforted and not feeling cold instead. Few seconds and it disappeared. He went straight home absent-minded.
Nathan's sister was in the entryway and was astonished seeing him. He should be out and about at this point engaging passengers to their everyday task. In any case, the condition that happened some time prior was overpowering. His coolness didn't effect this time. As he strolls inside the house her sister is babbling about the story that happened the previous evening. He isn't demonstrating interest and just nods to show he is listening in however his psyche is elsewhere. At that point, a name grabbed his attention. He faced her sister again with eyes wide with interest and inquired as to whether he heard it right.
"Annie Montes". She said again."What regarding her?" he inquired. Indicating all intrigue this time. Her sister got irritated for him not listening in to her story. However, recounted the story and the detail of the passenger of the accident the other night. *The driver was as yet* *alive when he was gotten by ambulance however, after the revelation of his mystery wrongdoing, he made his final gasp. He revealed his numerous crimes to the number of students after raping them and dumping them on empty lots.*
*The Identification card was gathered from his hand by the orderly of the rescue vehicle. He cleaned the blood that recoloured the plastic card and read the name. It wasn't his, it's a young ladies' school ID. The intense print was now visible, "Annie Gem A. Montes." A new victim was saved at that moment.*
Days after the incident made Nathan become another person. He became silent and seems his mind is nowhere. He remembered her telling him to transfer permanently not far from their present location. He never anticipated it was a cemetery. He realizes that the people that look at him and smile at him when they were together were smile of sympathy. They thought he's insane. Talking to himself.
Days passed, then weeks turned to months. He decided to step back to earth this time. He recalled Annie made him vow not to miss her when she's gone. So he is doing it now. He woke up early and prepared to go to work. He finally graduated successfully. But his planned love life failed.
It was pouring hard that night when Nathan thought out of nowhere to pass by the waiting shed and try to reminiscence the memories for the last time. Just for the last time. As he was approaching the waiting shed, the street is very busy. He saw numerous students ride into different cabs. Different locations and destinations he thought but his heart has nowhere to go. There was one left waiting and she was waving at him to stop.
When the passenger stepped in and stated her destination and closed the door, his heart left the sad memories behind. He started the engine and drove away.
As planned he wanted to start anew. He begins to open a live chat. He asked his new passenger's name to begin with. The girl smiled and murmured sweetly "**Annie**".
The end...😊
Thank you for reading until the end.
Critics are welcome😉

The kiss 2
**part 1** https://read.cash/@Xzeon/the-kiss-1fe68bc1
Nathan doesn't have a clue about the specific date and season of Annies' transfer so he can be readied. He attempted to think about a decent subject to help the mind-set among them. He even asked if he has treated her however she only shrugged. No answers.
Annie can detect the misery Nathan is feeling. Even though the amount she needed to comfort him however no. It is better to be like this so it won't be hard for him to proceed onward when she leaves.
"You've done me no wrong Nathan. You caused me to feel glad all the time we were together." The words caused Nathan to feel better. The imperceptible ice was broken after that. At the point when Annie ventured out of the taxi, she made him vow not to miss her when she's gone. He can't, yet Annie demanded she won't be upbeat once she left. He at that point gave her an intense gesture. "I'll be in touched with you". she at that point gave her a light kiss in his lips.Though he felt something surprising about the kiss as it is his first time he felt grand. He continues grinning in his way home.
`Bea is an intern student for nursing and was trusting that a ride will take her home. She was exhausted to such an extent that she needed to lie right away when she shows up home. Fewer vehicles are passing and she is currently feeling cold. Afterwards, a taxi stopped before her and she felt thankful and rode in the backseat and told the driver her objective. A few moments later she saw that they are taking the wrong route. She told the driver regarding it yet he advised her to relax as they are taking an alternate way. Again she realizes that they are driving for such a long time. Bea felt anxious this time. She told the driver again yet appears to be he's not listening. She attempted to hold for the latch of the car door so she can leap out of the taxi however she was stunned to discover it bolted. The feeling of panic wrapped her now. She attempted to peer outside the window to see whether she can perceive the spot however it's dull outside. At the point when she looked in front of the vehicle she saw somebody impeded the street that caused the driver to swear and everything went blurry. Seconds passed and she saw the figure moved close to the driver's seat. She realized the driver was oblivious or dead. By her hazy vision, she saw the driver being hauled out and because her position was at the rear of the driver's seat, by the mishap influence of the vehicle her head stayed laying on the vehicle window. She saw the sort gave out something into the drivers' hands and disappeared in the darkness. Her consciousness as well.`
The following morning Nathan felt the vigour and achieved the assignment for the day with a light mind-set. His passengers even saw it. He is energized for an opportunity to pick up his Annie. Indeed, he understood they shared something after her kiss. He showed up earlier than before this time. He will surprise her.
An hour passed and no Annie appeared. He still calmly waited. Annie was never been late. There's always a first time he said to himself. Two hours more and still no Annie. It's practically late and he is even late for his class. He left the spot with overwhelming sadness however illuminated himself possibly Annie is occupied for something that she needs to plan for her leave.
He was driving home that night when he was obstructed with a crowd. He is on his way home, he was hindered by a little horde of individuals along the expressway. They are peering into something. Nathan was interested in what the uproar was about. Yet, after taking a look at the sight, he started to feel compassion. It was a driver may be in his 40s, still in his drivers'uniform and was washed with his blood. What befell him they have no clue. He saw his ID recoloured with blood yet scarcely the primary letter and the two last letters were obvious. It shows A...es as it were. Few moments staying and discussing from the individuals in the scene about the person in question, the police and ambulance showed up and in the wake of playing out all the systems, they removed the almost dead body. The student passenger in the backseat was fortunately alright.
