Ablyan Peak, Boljoon. So I enjoyed writing about the article I published yesterday and made me think of writing another one. About the places I've visited in the past. This is not far from my hometown but we have to travel on the way there. The day before that, all my cousins in the province planned on going there through motorcycle. Everyone is very excited including the old ones who's not included in the upcoming adventure lol. But they're the one's making poso for us to eat on the way there or when we arrive there. I have a lot of cousins so it is very exciting. Although not all our cousins are going, it'll still be fun. It was July 8 2020, a year ago. We decided to wake up early in the morning, cook our poso and bought a lechon manok and pansit. We are a total of 14 person and occupied 6 motorcycle. Our destination is 28km away from our house so we have a long way to go. Ablayan Peak is located in Boljoon, Malabuyoc. It is a picnic ground perfect for bonding and overnight. It has wide mountain view and a very fresh air. It was a very long ride and we barely stop over. We just stop over to take a picture on our way there as we saw interesting lanscape along the road. As we're halfway thru, We can already feel the soothing winds of the mountain. It's not easy to go there but It's definitely worth it. There are some roads that are too narrow and too slippery but we were able to manage it. As we arrive, it's already 9 AM. We were greeted by the panoramic view of every natural formation present in Boljoon. There are even rustic benches and swings overlooking the other verdant mountains – perhaps the most relaxing place to rest with such a pleasing view. The peak has a massive open space where travelers can just take in their surroundings and breathe in the unpolluted air. The summit of Ablayan truly is a wonder to behold with its breathtaking panoramic views of nature. The excitement of reaching the destination does give people the needed push but the thrill of not knowing what to expect on the way is what brings wanderlusts out of their homes to discover the world. We did not waste our time and took an instagramable photo of us and we also ate what the elders had prepared for us. We laughed and bond with each other like it's the most important thing in the world. We definitely enjoyed coming there. We also planned on where to go next if we have the time. It is indeed worth of our time and effort. We felt relaxed and refresh especially because of the view and the fresh air. After our adventure in Boljoon, we decided to go to the seaside and take a dip. It was very exhausting but we did not feel tired at all because we are enjoying every moment we had together. Closing thoughts A very rare moment of us going out as planned because usually, our plans always suck and it's always postponed. But for the first time, we actually made it. And it made me very happy seing my cousins happy. We had a lot of adventures so stay tuned. I will be sharing them soon. Sponsor I would like to thank @Bloghound and @ARTicLEE for the sponsorship. Thank you so much to the both of youuu ❤ All the photo is taken by me and my cousins.

Mainit Spring, my wonderful hometown. I saw an article yesterday from @Bloghound about the pottery from San Juan and I also want to share something from my hometown. Although it's not related to pottery but I hope you can visit someday. Mainit Spring is located in Malabuyoc Cebu. It's from the south part of Cebu. It was known for its unique feature like hot springs and a 7 waterfall above. Unfortunately, it is close as of the moment. It has been closed for almost 6 years now. But the locals can still visit there though, and if tourists contact locals, they can actually visit there. Hopefully the government will re open it soon. Healing effect of the hotspring When I was a born, mainit is already there and it was free for all. It was just developed in 2013 I guess. My grandmother and other locals that lived longer there usually say that the hot spring has a healing effect. And I believed that. Because a long time ago, we had a relative that had a stroke and coudn't walk. Half of his body is paralized and he's on his wheelchair. Early in the morning, we accompany him to the hotspring and let him sit above the well-like form that has boiling water underneath. He sit there for 5 minutes and sweating bullets because of the pressure of the heat. After weeks or almost a month, he can finally move his left arm. It was indeed a miracle. Mainit is very known because of that, It also been featured in National Tv and "Byahe ni Drew" hosted by Drew Arellano himself. Hotspring Mainit hotspring contains 3 hotspring pools. The hottest one is 42°. The 2nd and the 3rd we call it "Inadlaw" because it is a perfect place to chill unlike the first one, it is 34° and 36°. You can actually relax and swim in it. I don't have recent photo of it but I tried searching the web and here's what I found. You can actually search for more photos if you want since the photo I have here is low quality. Mainit Waterfalls Aside form the hot spring. Mainit also has its 7 wonder waterfalls above. And no, it's not hot. Its actually cold as an ice. It is seven because as you climb above the path from the hotspring, you can see them one by one. Behind a huge rock, accross the river and inside the cave. The 7th fall has the highest waterfall and my personal favorite is the 5th falls since it has a wide space and has a great spot for diving. Tourist Most tourist visit Mainit Spring for it's unique hot spring, the 7 falls and also mountain climbing. The known Planet Action travel company is always present in mainit and many more. Especially weekends and holidays. Closing I really want to share a lot about my hometown but I kind of lost of words. Maybe I'll write another article once I visit there again. Because I've been staying in the city for quite a while now. I am hoping that it will re open anytime soon so you can come and visit. And if you want to visit right now you can actually contact me to brief my relatives who are staying there right now.

Friendship According to this video, https://youtu.be/ZhM3n69S59E Friendship is a close association between two people marked by feelings of care, respect, admiration, concern, or even love. Throughout our life, we build relationships with people and these relationships have a huge influence on our life. You already know that as humans we are social creatures that are highly influenced by our environment and our friends create our social environment. This can be good and bad because while relationships with goodfriends can be supportive and encouraging there are other times where your friends can be holding you connect to achieve your goals. There are different types of friends, You might have one best friend, a handful of close friends and many general friends. Friendship is everything I always value friendship ever since childhood. I treat all my friends as family. I cherish my friends more than myself. I don't know if thats a good thing but I would do anything fo their sake. Story time when I met my friends in SHS It was 3 months after the class started. We were classmates but we became close after learning that we share the same hobbies and interests. We were a group of 7. We play mobile legends/Call of Duty in our free time. Play music using my guitar while the others sing. We usually hang out every end of the class. Although we're outgoing, we are all honor students. And because I value my friends more than myself, I tend to be selfless at times. They became my priority while I was neglecting myself. I was always there when they needed me. I'm the type of friend that is one call away. When one of my friend had a problem with her family, I talk to her until she's okay and let her vent her anger towards me. I let her sleep over so that she can have space away from home. When one of my friend had a financial problem, I did my best to help him and gave him support until it was solved. When one of my friend needed a laptop for his individual research, I lend him mine. And there are tons of things I did to help them. I did everything for them not wanting something in return. I just want them to lean on me and talk to me when they're in need. I just want them to be my friends forever. I am not complaining for everything I did for them, because in the first place, I was the one who offered. I don't know where I got these atittude but when I love someone, I would do everything to help and protect them. It hurts me when I see them being hurt. I would cry if we have a misunderstanding and ut hurts more than a break up. Maybe because I came from a toxic household and I'm seeking for attention and love from others. Maybe? But I know I'm not the only one. Eventually after our SHS, I had a personal problem and had a mental breakdown because of family. But guess what? No one was there. No one ask If I was okay. I'm not blaming them though because I barely share my problems. But I reached out to them for the first time that day. Unfortunately, all of them was busy. That hit me. There are people that can always make time to talk to you and there's also people that will make you wait until they have time. They're not me. They don't prioritize friends. They have their own lives other than friends, they will ignore you for something more important. Maybe I was the problem. I made my life rotate around them and I was upset because they can't do the same. That's the day I realized I was the toxic one. And I was sorry for myself for being so pitiful. I know. I am pitiful. Sometimes I wish to have a friend like me. Lol. After that, I was being aloof around them but we're good. And now in the present, I am learning to distance myself and learn to self love. I think I am making a progress. We still contact each other but it's not gonna be the same as before. We're all civil. So guys? What kind of friend are you?

Fight for love I wrote this story when I was in 8th grade so please don't judge me. As I was reading this story again, I don't want to change any part of it because I was not perfect and I will never be one. So this is story is fresh from year 2016. This is a one shot story by the way. It's kinda cringe but I still want to share it so please enjoy. Fight for love Buong magdamag akong nag isip sa sinabi ni Homer sakin kahapon. Magang-maga na ang mata ko at lumaki lalo yung eyebags ko dahil buong magdamag lang ako umiyak at hindi natulog. Hindi ko alam kong tama ba ang magiging desisyon ko, pero nagdadasal ako na sana tama ang gagawin ko, na tama na ipaglaban ko sya laban sa pamilya ko. Hindi ko lubos maisip na darating ang araw na mamimili ako sa dalawang importante sa buhay ko, ang pamilya ko o ang taong mahal ko. Sana tama ang magiging desisyon ko, SANA... **"Iha? Pinapababa ka na ng Daddy mo."** **"Susunod nalang po ako Yaya Melda."** **"Sige iha, baba na ako."** Bumangon na ako at agad naligo at nagbihis na, simple lang ang sinoot ko at naglagay din ako ng concealer para hindi mahalata ang pagmamaga ng mata at paglaki ng eyebags ko. Bumaba na ako pagkatapos kong mag ayos. "What took you so long, Tania?" **"I'm sorry Dad I woke up late kasi."** **"By the way, I'll be going to Australia for the opening of our new branch of hotel and restaurant there."** **"I better go now, the private plane is waiting for me at the rooftop I'll just inform you kung kailan ang balik ko dito."** Tumalikod na sya dala ang briefcase nya pero lumingon ulit. **"And one more thing, Ayokong nakikipagkita ka pa sa walang kwentang lalaking yon! Or else i'll make his life a living hell!"** After saying those words, dumiretso na siya sa taas. Why is he like that? Wala na lang syang ginawa kundi kontrolin ang buhay ko, ni hindi niya tinatanong kung anong nararamdaman ko. Kung masaya ba ako o nasasaktan sa gigagawa niya! Malaki na ako, alam ko ang mga pinaggagawa ko! No doubts Mommy left him because of his fvcking atittude! He's ruthless. He's cruel. Gusto niya siya lagi ang tama, Sya laging nasusunod! I dialed Mom's number, **"I missed you sweetheart. Buti napatawag ka."** I felt somewhat relieved and thankful of hearing Mom's voice. **"Mom, I need you."** Tumulo ang luha ko dahil miss na miss ko na din si mommy, Sya lang talaga ang nalalapitan ko kung may problema ako, Since she left Dad. Yes, Mom and Dad are separated since I was a kid at sakanya ako tumira pero nanalo si Dad sa custody at sakanya ako napunta. But I always make time para magkasama kami. Siya lang ang tanging kakampi ko. She's always there for me when I needed her, hindi niya ako pinabayaan kahit wala na sila ni Dad. Tinext ko si Mom kung san kami magkikita. **"Sweetie! What happened? Why are you crying."** I felt Mom's sympathy for me. Instead of answering Mom's question, I hugged her and cried out loud like a baby. **"Shhh, It's okay sweetie Mommy's here. I'll help you okay?"** **"T-thank you M-mom I knew you will help me."** Pinakalma ko muna ang sarili ko bago nagsalita. **"Dad wants me to avoid Homer and leave him, but Mom hindi ko kaya. Mahal na mahal ko sya at ayokong layuan at iwan sya. Alam ko pong hindi kayo boto sakanya kasi mahirap lang sila pero Mom, Homer is my happiness, he's my life. "** Humagulhol na naman ako sa harap ni Mommy. **"Did you know na I once experienced that too?"** Mapait na sabi ni Mom. Napatigil ako sa pag-iyak at tiningnan si Mommy. **"I once had that love of my life, yung lalaking yun ang kaligayahan ko. Walang araw na hindi kami nagkikita. Mahal na mahal ko sya non at kagaya ni Homer, mahirap din siya pero I don't care. I don't care because I loved him and I'm happy when I'm with him."** She paused and looked directly to my eyes at may namumuong luha sa mga mata niya. **"But when your lola knew about him, about us. She's against him, hindi siya sang-ayon sa relasyon namin, kesyo daw anong ibubuhay nya sakin? kesyo daw kaya ba niyang ibigay ang pangangailan ko?"** "She threatened me that he will make his life miserable, **iyak lang ako ng iyak non. Kinausap ko si Joel, si Joel yung pinakamamahal ko. Sinabi niya sakin na hindi sya natatakot na maging miserable ang buhay nya basta makasama lang niya ako, gusto niyang ipaglaban namin ang pagmamahalan namin."** Nakinig lang ako sa kwento ni Mommy, ngayon ko lang nalaman na may karanasan pala syang ganito. **"Pero naging duwag ako, nagkamali ako, hindi ko ipinaglaban ang pagmamahalan namin and accepted your lola's offer to marry your dad. Little did he know that I'm no longer here in the country. Hindi ako nagpaalam sa kanya. Nilayuan ko si Joel and decided to live in America and move on with your Dad. Hindi naging madali ang naging desisyon ko, Ang hirap hirap.** **One night nagpakalasing ako, I don't want to live anymore. I'm tired of everything. Hindi ko alam ang mga ginagawa ko nun dahil sa kalasingan."** Tumingin siya sakin at patuloy ang pagtulo ng luha nya, Ang sakit sakit makita na umiiyak sya at sa mga pingdaanan niya. **"A-at dun ka nabuo A-anak. When I found out about you, nabuhayan ako. I have a reason to live again. You made me live again sweetie. Hindi ako nagsisi na may nangyari samin ng Dad mo kahit hindi ko ginusto. I don't regret of what had happened, because you lived. You gave me motivations. I'm thankful of having you sweetie. Sobrang swerte ko at ipinagpapasalamat ko sa Panginoon yon."** Humagulhol na ako nang iyak sa narinig ko, kaya pala hindi ko maramdaman ang pagmamahalan nila Mom and Dad. Hindi ko akalain na may dinaanang mabigat na pagsubok si Mommy. So what am I supposed to do now? Fight for our love. O susundin ko nalang si Dad para hindi niya saktan si Homer? Di ko na alam ang gagawin ko! Litong-lito na talaga ako. **"Tahan na sweetie, I dont want you to be like me. Gusto kong sundin mo ang puso mo. Ayokong magsisi ka sa magiging desisyon mo. I'm sorry of what I did. I left your father not considering your feelings. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'm sorry kung hindi kita nabigyan ng complete family. I just can't live another day na kasama ang Dad mo."** Niyakap ko ako at pinunasan ang mga luha niya. **"Don't worry Mom, I didn't hold grudges against you. I love you Mom."** She smiled and hugged me tight. **"I love you too sweetie. Mommy loves you so much."** She kissed my hair and brushed my tears away. **"Kung mahal mo siya, Ipaglaban** mo. You always have my back." Ngumiti si Mom sakin and with that, I felt secured and supported. **"I want you to fight for him, FIGHT FOR YOUR LOVE."** Natauhan ako sa sinabi ni Mommy, tama sya. Dapat kong ipaglaban si Homer. Sasama na ako sa kanya, di bale ng magpakahirap basta magiging masaya ako kesa magpakasasa sa yaman nila pero kontrolado naman ang mga galaw ko. I hugged her again. **"Thanks Mom, I owe you a lot. I love you so much."** **"Basta para sayo anak, just always remember that Mommy's right here for you everytime. I love you too sweetie, so much."** I flashed my sweetest smile, I know I will do the right thing at confident ako na hindi ako magsisisi sa gagawin ko. After namin mag usap ni Mommy ay dumiretso na ako sa bahay para mag impake dahil mamayanng gabi na kami magtatanan ni Homer. 8pm natapos na akong mag impake at nagpaalam na rin ako kay Mommy, papunta na ako ngayon sa park kung san kami magkikita. **"Homer!"** **"Tania!"** I hugged him tight and he responded. I really love this guy. Simple lang syang tao pero na sakanya na lahat. Mabait, matalino, masunurin, mapagmahal at syempre GWAPO. Kumalas ako sa yakap at pinagmasdan ang mukha niya. Mahabang pilikmata, shining and sincere eyes, ponted nose and heart shaped lips. How perfect this guy is! **"Akala ko hindi ka na makakarating, akala ko tuluyan ka nang lumayo, akala k-"** **"Shh andito na ako, sasama na ako sayo kaya wag ka nang mag alala okay? Kahit sino pang tumutol satin ipaglalaban ko parin ang pagmamahalan natin. Dahil alam kong sayo lang ako sasaya, sa piling mo lang. Kaya ipaglalaban kita hanggang sa huli."** **"Maraming salamat ha? At pinaglaban moko sa kanila, ang swerte ko sayo."** **"No, thank you dahil kahit alam mong ayaw sayo ni Dad ay minahal mo parin ako at di ka nagpasilaw sa pera niya para layuan ako. Ako ang maswerte sayo."** He flashed his sincere smile. **"Mahal na mahal kita Titania Nichole Garcia, I will do everything just to make you happy I want you to live and grow old with me."** **"I love you too Homer Cruz, you're already my happiness so you don't have to do anything. Just make sure na ako lang talaga ang nag-iisa sa puso mo. I also want you to be with me forever. In sickness and in health, No matter what happen we will** ***fight for our love."*** **"I will my princess, I will** ***Fight for our love."***

Introduction. Hi, hello I'm Ze. I'm a newbie and I am looking forward to read your articles and write my articles also. I am 19, and I'm currently in my 2nd year in college. Taking up the course of Bachelor of Scienc in Electrical Engineering. And no, I'm not good in math lol. I don't know why I took this course maybe because of the influence of my friends. Anyway, this article is a random things all about myself so please enjoy reading while getting to know me :) Hobbies I love to write stories when I was in my highschool and I kinda stop since I entered my senior year. But I love to share my stories here with you guys if thats okay. I'll be making a separate article for my stories soon. I enjoy playing mobile games also, I'm into mobile legends and call of duty nowadays. Do you guys play that games also? I can share my thoughts about these also. And I'm very excited but shy at the same time to share the hobby or my way of escaping reality, uhm I love to watch animes and my favorite show is One Piece. I binge watch a lot of anime shows but One Piece takes my heart. Maybe one of these days, I'll make an article about One Piece or any other animes that I watched. I also play chess, I used to be good at it but I kinda lost interest. I don't know if it's just me but most of my hobbies and the things I used to love and I used to be good at does not feel right anymore. I want to be good at it again but I don't know how to start. But no worries, I'm starting to embrace my new self and learning new things. I hope you too. If you feel like you're not good at anything, just don't rush yourself and learn to be patient. We can always be good at what we're doing, we just need time and effort. Family My family is not perfect and I'm open about it. I came from a broken family but I'm good. I'm not expecting that my family will be complete again but I am happy with what we have now. Atleast I still have them both, and my half siblings as well. Having a broken family is not always bad. I can always come and go to either of them. I just wish that in the future, I won't let my children experience these things. Although it's not bad but it can be toxic at times. I love them both and I also love my sisters. So to all the people who have a broken family out there, cheer up guys. It's not the end of the world. You can make up for your family in the future. Closing So as you can see, I'm not really good at expressing myself but I am learning. I wish to publish a much better article next time. And I'm looking forward to write my next article. I really love to share the stories I have written in wattpad here in read.cash so I hope you will read my articles hehe. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
