Yesterday we went to the doctor coz my son is sick for 4 days and had recurrent fever . He underwent CBC and Urinalysis test. He still has fever last night till morning so we are really worried it might be dengue.
Hospital near us , public or private are now in full capacity of dengue patients . Son of my husbands brother was tested positive and was confined in a public hospital two weeks ago. We were told that some of the patients are only seated at the hospitals hallway , dextrosed and were just lying in the floor with an improvised bed. It was a heartbreaking scene in the hospital and guardians or immediate family of the sick children are sleeping while seated in the floor.
Hospital beds that used to be occupied by covid patients are now occupied by dengue patients. Haist , what's happening in our world ? Seems like there's a never ending struggles among the people especially the poor.
Going back to morning's event. We went to the Doctor's Clinic around 8:30 am. My son told me that he was a bit nervous and don't want to stay in the hospital for long and sleep there. I understand his fear and hugged him and assured him that he's not going to sleep in the hospital.
I asked him if he prayed for it and he said yes! momi i prayed to Jesus last night and this morning. I told him to heal me and tell him also that i am scared . So what did He tell you? He's telling me not to worry . Oh! see He told you not to worry coz there is nothing to worry. ( Oh dear! coming from me that is more than just nervous i can't sleep and eat right for the past few days,lol!) The Doctor will take care of you and will give you the right medicine so you'll be healed fast.
So his name was called and we enter the Doctor's office just like yesterday. I handed him the folder or my son's record. He was silent while reading the results and finally he smiled at us and tell the good news that it was not Dengue afterall. Oh boy! i was relieved.
Though he has an infection that needs to be treated by antibiotics for 7 days. I wonder where he get the blood infection then i remember that prior to his sickness. He had a wound on his right leg that caused nodes in his groin area. I put antibiotic cream into it when i found out that it was Bullous or Mamaso in Tagalog. The wound got infected and the bacteria already went to his blood prior to medication. The wound was healed already in the surface but the bacteria already went to his blood as explained.
We were so relieved and glad by the results and somehow pacify our weary heart and mind. I know he will get better soon. Though medyo masakit sa bulsa hahaha! Saved once again by our savings.
Yesterday we spent 340.00Php or around 7$ for the laboratories and 500php or 10$ for the Doctor's PF . Today we spent 1420.00Php for the medicines and another 500Php for PF. So all in all including the gas , expenses was 60$.
Oh My Gulay! Bawal talaga magkasakit, magastos ! ( We are not allowed to get sick coz it's quite expensive.).
Anyways , thank you to mamsh @Jentoand beb@Ruffa for the concern.Labyu po.
Thanks for the read. Sa lahat ng sponsors "Salamat po ng Marami".

Been missing in action for a few days coz my six year old son is currently sick for 4 days already. He has recovered from his mild cough and colds but he has recurrent fever of 37° to 39°. We were supposed to bring him to the doctor yesterday but he seems fine all day. His temperature did'nt rise to 38 and 37.4 was the highest.
He was also eating his regular meals and milk in between. Still jolly and playful so i thought he is on his way to recovery and just having a common flu just like the other kids in the compound.
He woke up at 3am today to go to the bathroom to pee. Upon checking his temperature it was 38° so i gave him paracetamol syrup and went back to sleep. He seems fine and at his usual jolly mood and greeted me good morning and saying i love you momi upon waking up.
Morning till lunch time he was fine and no fever. I dozed of a bit and wakes up at 2pm coz i felt some weight on my tummy and i open my eyes seeing him smile and lying head on my tummy. I checked his forehead and i was sad to feel he has fever again. It was 39° this time so i told my husband to prepare and we are going to the doctor for check up.
We arrived at the doctor's clinic around 2:30 pm . As we are waiting for his turn he was asking me what will the doctor will do to him. I told him the doctor will just ask some questions if there is pain on his tummy , head, or other parts of his body and you he will just going to answer him either yes or no.
As expected the doctor requested for a CBC and Urinalysis , so we went ahead to the Diagnostic Lab for my son's test. Upon paying at the cashier , the Medical Technologies assisted us immediately for the procedure. My husband was so tense as if he was the one going for blood extraction. lol!
The MedTech instructed us for my son to be seated on our lap so he won't get scared. My husband seated at the extraction chair and let my son be seated on his lap. Oh! i am a proud mama coz my son is so brave he just close his eyes during the procedure and smile at me and gave me a thumbs up upon opening his eyes.
We were informed to wait for an hour for the result of the tests. I asked the nurse if just in case it is dengue, will my son needed to be confine or not. The nurse said it's case to case basis. If it's not severe then home care management will be fine . Oh geez , we are praying it's not dengue though there is an outbreak in our place.
My husband is really worried and you know men when it comes to such scenarios , they are weak and can't hide their worries.
`Hospitals near our place are full in capacity with dengue cases arises. The Department of Health (DOH) reported yesterday August 09, that dengue cases in the country reached 90,000 from January to July this year.`
`Based on DOH data , there were 92,343 dengue cases recorded from January 01 to July 23. A 118% higher compared to the 42,294 cases reported during the same period in 2021.`
https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2022/08/09/2201240/dengue-cases-breach-90000
We've waited for an hour and finally it was released but we are not able to make it to the doctor's clinic on time so we have to go back tomorrow morning for the interpretation of the result.
We are praying hard it's not dengue nor any serious illness that requires confinement. I hate staying in the hospital. Hope everything went well tomorrow.
These are all for tonight. Thank you for the read.

1,2,3 ! Smile! Courage and Hope amidst Adversities

**" Tough Times Never Last , But Tough People Do!" - Robert Schuller**
Ever since i had a copy of the book " Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do! " a decade and a half ago if i remember it right , purchased it on sale at National Bookstore . I always read it over and over coz it gives me a sense of encouragement to continue life and smile despite adversities.
***And made me believe that "Beautiful Souls are shaped by ugly experiences" .***
Though i don't pretend that life is easy when i smile it's just that i have an understanding that every problem has a solution and sometimes it will just go away without being too succumb on it.
In the face of Adversities
I keep on saying that i've been through a lot in the past . I cried many times from the lost of my dear bestfriend who committed suicide due to clinical depression and anxiety , sulk in the corner and hide in a cocoon coz of low self-esteem, suffered pain due to broken family that until now acknowledgement from our father side seems would stay merely just a dream.
Cried a river from the death of the two most lovely woman in my life , my mom and grandma who both battled cancer but lost from it. Shattered by broken dreams to give the best life for my mom in return for her sacrifices and difficulties in raising me and my two siblings alone.
The journey of searching our father that turns out too late coz he was gone long time ago , i was not able to say a thing to him nor ask about our roots. The journey ended just like that. His death ends it all. Whatever connections we have from him was buried alongside his grave.
Many times in the past , i was so down i feel helpless and weak. Nothing was beautiful , all i could see was the gloominess of the sky when it rains. Never appreciate the cool breeze it brings. Only sadness and emptiness i feel it haunted me for years. Asking so many whys. Oh! how i was confused and did not comprehend life from the past.
My Turning point
Everything changes as i started to acknowledged the presence of "**The High Above"** . I began to understand that all of those are just his ways to strengthen me . That i am not alone fighting my battle. That during those times that i'm at my weakest , He was there to carry me all through out the rough roads.
I came to realized that the death of my biological father was a way to find Him. A true Father that never leave me nor forsake me . That "**The Father Above**" is always there for me and more than enough to complete the emptiness in my heart and life. That the missing puzzle that i've been looking for is Him.
That the death of my bestfriend will help me to have a better understanding of people who suffers the same . That it would make me a better person to heal someones brokenness by just listening to them. To have a more compassionate heart for peoples suffering. To understand them deeply rather than judging quickly. That mental illness is real and needs attention. My husband also suffers from depression and anxiety due to pandemic and i was able to help him to deal and cope with it without giving up on him. And now he's back on track.
That growing up in a broken family help me to understand the value of having a simple yet whole family. The experienced of brokenness helped me to build a new one with a solid foundation that would lasts a lifetime. Love and Commitment to hold for better or for worst.
That marriage is not just a bed of roses full of happiness but also has thorns in it that you should accept but not a reason to just throw it away.
That married life is like a beautiful painting that was made by different strokes of brushes and hues covering the white clean canvass to create a masterpiece or obra. It should'nt stay white and clean forever or it would'nt be call an obra but just a plain canvass. We are the one whose going to paint and make a beautiful piece.
The lost of two lovely woman in our life served as a reminder to take care of ourselves more. Be more careful of our health and wellbeing. It helps me to be a better mother. They are gone too soon but it teaches us to be independent and strong. Everything was just a preparation for a life that we have right now. It gives us Courage and Hope that when there is life after death , they are the ones whose going to welcome us in the gate of heaven. Every lesson i learned from them was neatly filed in my heart to be check from time to time , to apply in the actual world of motherhood. That women are indeed the strongest soul.
1,2,3 smile! Strike a pose and smile even if life seems unfair. Just like what we are doing in these photo of the past years flood. We can't control the storm and rain from pouring and cause flood in our area but we can't just wait for someone to feed us. We need to go to the city for our supplies. Yes it's hard walking the 5km flooded road but we have to or else much worse problem may arise which is hunger. Life goes on.
It's not easy to clean the house after the flood subsided after a week but we are used to it. It actually gave us the chance to throw unnecessary things inside the house. To rearrange the furnitures. To check on the things that need repair. To clean the house thoroughly and repaint without the fear of dripping the furnitures with paint. An opportunity to change the look of the house to a more jolly and comfy one.
**Because of those i had been through. It made me see things differently. I learned how to see beauty despite adversity. Things my eyes cannot see , my heart does feel and see brightly.**
Thank you always for the read. And to all my sponsors, Salamat ng marami! May the GOOD LORD bless you all.

"Madam Pureza", Poor With a Class
No: 41 - 3
August 05 , 2022
*Hola! I'm still on cloud 9 upto this moment from being noticed by some of the authors i do admire here. Though it's raining since last night , it did'nt bothered me the way it bothers me in the past. I still have the good vibes that keep me going and still has the strength to handwash our clothes ,lol! ( some parts of the machine need to be replace) and dries it up despite the rain.*
*And surely when it rains it pours. Thank you to all my sponsors and for the new one* @remona *i really do appreciate it so much! May the good Lord shower you all abundantly. Thank you with all my heart🧡*
==============================
When i used to work in the office i used to call my lady boss "Madam" instead of "Ma'am" it's a sign of respect and she likes it. I even asked her permission if it's ok for her to replace Ma'am into Madam and she's ok with it. Somehow it has the same meaning ,in Britain Ma'am is used in referring to a Queen or a high ranking Lady Official.
Here in the Philippines we use Ma'am to address our Teachers , Lady bosses as well or just our way to give respect to women. Same goes with the use of Madam. But i prefer to call my Lady boss madam coz of her high status in the company as well as in the community .They belong to the upper class and i feel it's more appropriate to call her madam.
Nowadays , we use the term casually . And my better half fondly called me madam sometimes, " Madam Pureza" to be exact. Hahaha! Pureza , pertaining to "poor" a poor madam, lol! I am not comfortable being called madam or ma'am . I prefer to be called " Sis" if we are the same age or "Ate" a Filipino term use for older sister.
According to Statistic
According to the latest Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA stats , the income level of Filipinos are classified as Upper , Middle , Lower middle , Low income and Poor as stated in the photo below. No doubt that i belong to the Lower middle class to Low income. Now you know why i deserved to be called " Madam Pureza" hahaha.
https://www.imoney.ph/articles/middle-class-sector-philippines/
We are living with the basic anyway and living within our means so i dont worry much about the classifications and accepted wholeheartedly without further argument that i or we are poor coz that is real ,hahaha!
Misconceptions
There are some people though that don't believe that we are poor. And why it's so? Where did they get the notion despite reality that we are?
**My six old year old son asked me . Mom are we poor?** I answered , yes honey we are if being the basis is the earnings above or should i say our life is simple. We don't have a big house just like our neighbor. We don't have cars like them. We don't have means to travel often nor eat at a fancy restaurant.
**But why do we see poor people in the street and we are not? We are not asking for food in the neighborhood yet we give them, our house is clean , our clothes and me?**
Oh that! because honey there is no rule saying you can't be clean and presentable even if you are poor. The little earnings we have are spent accordingly. For all our basic needs. We are making sure all the necessary things that are needed are covered. And even if our life is simple , sharing something to some people is an act of kindness we can do. In our own little way we should help.
**I can speak English and my classmate said poor people don't speak the language. Oh !** everyone can speak the language if they want to. Education is not for the rich or middle class alone. It is a right of every children to be educated. Besides " Peppa Pigs and Ryan " teaches you how to speak the language. hahaha!
**I have nice things and you have too.** Because we are lucky we have relatives living and working around the globe that gives us things we can't afford to buy coz it's quite expensive here. Like clothes , bags, shoes, perfumes, toys ,chocolates , make up and a lot more.
We had our mini family reunions weeks ago and we are truly grateful for all the stuff given to us as "pasalubong". Clothes, shoes, bags, chocolates , goodies , soaps , toothpaste , toothbrush , flosses and even dishwashing liquid and towels and a lot more.
Most of the things we have are given by our relatives living and working from some Western part of the world such as NY, Canada, California ,Australia some from Japan , UAE and London. My kids clothings , bags , shoes and even toys are mostly from them . I rarely buy them such stuff. Coz it was given freely.
I am a real " Madam Pureza" but just too lucky to have families that love us so much they are sending and give us stuff that honestly we can't afford to buy here.
Disclaimer though that we don't ask them to give us such , we don't demand for those things . Nor we pity ourselves coz our life is simple. We don't make "Asa" or oblige them to give. It was all given freely.
We are also working hard for our kids. Dreams to put into reality and goals to reach someday. Our life , our responsiblity. Living simply is a choice that gives us joy and appreciate life and blessings even little as it is.
Being poor is not a sin but being a burden to other people i guess is. Pretending to belong to a well off one to please other people is hard to sustain coz it will lead to various lies and that would be sin.
**Life may not be as simple as counting one, two , three but it sure has a nice reward if we live it simple and real.**
Most of the time. It's not how much we earn that determines our way of living but on how much we spend. Giving value to what we are earning today and save even a little can do wonder in the future.
I am a real Madam Pureza , Poor with a class ,lol! happy to be one and i am a real Queen of our humble abode.
Thank you all for the read as always!

Naghihiwa ako ng gg para idaing ng dumating yung pinsan ko then nakita nya yung mga isda. Then nagulat ako kasi tawang tawa sya.
Napapatawa rin ako kahit diko alam kung bakit at saka ako nagtanong bakit ba tuwang tuwa ka?
Sabi nya yung isda raw kasi parang may mali, ano ba yung mali? May mali ba sa gawa ko mga kaingay?

***Being noticed by someone you look up to , always gives a feeling of blissful joy. The feeling of being in cloud 9 for a moment that would somehow give you a sense of fulfillment too , no matter how trivial the thing that has occurred. That is what i'm feeling for quite some time already.***
Been reading articles for a few days now about achievements of some authors here. How it had been for them for the month of July and for a newbie like me that still struggle to write and has lots to learn still about the process , i could honestly say that i'm impressed with their works. I truly admire them and they really serve as an inspiration , an encouragement for me to strive more in learning and discovering my own style of writing too.
***I do love reading and most of the time i was so engrossed with it i 'm enjoying it so much i ran out of time to write my own entry for the day most of the time .Hahaha!***
As an introvert that chooses carefully the people that i'm going to let into my small circle in the actual world , I also hit the subs button of the authors that caught my interest upon reading their works. Not just a single writings but multiple of their works that somehow gives me a glimpse of their personality , their deepness , their genre in writing , their honesty and pureness that you can't deny if you are blogging everyday . The happiness and sadness thay they shared through their works that caught my attention and admiration , then i would click the subscribe button.
For hitting it , it already gave me a sense of fulfillment telling myself that" hey girl you have lots of interesting article to read tomorrow for sure" . Most of the time , my free time is not enough to read articles of one author coz i really do went back at their previous article to read.
My admiration in this platform grows everyday as well as my admiration to different writers here. Got to see beautiful places without leaving and spending money through the works of @Jane and @Momentswithmatti . Your photography is really great your detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the places you were into gives us the feeling of being there too. Kudos mga lods!
Got an understanding of the crypto world by @Pantera and @PVMihalache and pretty sure would learn a lot more by continuosly reading their works. I picture them as CEO's of a certain company that is so discreet with their personality and yet mean real business in their writings . It gives the impression of being a busy personality and prominency that when they notice you ,it would feel like you are notice by your crush or your fave artists. Lol! That commenting in their articles just to say your a fan takes a lot of courage to type. Hahaha! Really that's how i see them. That when @Pantera noticed my comment i was " kilig**" hahaha! Permission to mention all of you here. Hope you don't mind sir's and madam's. Hands up to all you!**
Learning how to handle lifes difficulties and realities the coolest way possible through @Ruffa and i could sense that she's a jolly but one deep soul that has lot to offer from within ,what a generous and approachable human being she is !
I was amaze by the honesty and bravery of @alicecalope and @UsagiGallardo215 in showing their real selves here without qualms ,the struggles they had been through yet still fighting to reach their goals. The transparency of @Micontingsabitthat welcomed me in this platform with a warm heart. I like her username a lot, hahaha! I like her being real and "no arte".
I remember my mom's love for planting and style of realtalk with mamsh @Jento really madam you made me want to put back my mom's mini garden in due time that served as her paradise and peaceful place when she's battling with cancer. I guess she would love to peek into it from heavens window. Love the way you talk about realities of the actual world .
The deepness and wise thoughts of my dear @Talecharm . On how she sees and perceive the world differently . On how she sees beauty despite struggles and adversities . Giving me hope as well by just reading ,. The positive vibes that radiates into her works are communicable.
The softhearted @Adrielle1214 that will go extra mile to help. The love of family and respect @charmingcherry08 that sees her future with a man who must love and respect her family first. The courage of@ZehraSky to deal with her depression . The passion of teaching of @TeacherLynlyn that also giving an extra hand for her learners makes me want to shout for joy and tell the world ***" YES! We still have a chance to make our world a better place to live in."***
Grateful i am indeed for being part of this platform . Already consider it as an Attainment despite the little earnings that i have here that i am intented to keep and save on my crypto wallet for future use.
My Admiration to all of you grows each day and my Appreciation too i would like to extend for noticing me . I have much to learn , a wider world to explore and much more to read.
I do have my own pace and i'm happy with it . As the @TheRandomRewardergives me joy everytime i am notice , your reply to my comments gives me a sense of fulfillment that i belong . Taking away my fear of the unknown.
Little by little i'm getting the hang of it. Trying to incorporate what i've learn from all of you in my writings. Forgive my grammar sometimes that i don't know if it's right.
Chances of understanding different culture of different countries arises in these kind of community without being discriminated .Giving chances to earn through your creativity , chances to learn and chances to live .
Thank you @Read.Cash .I never thought i would be happy this much . I've said it before but i will say it again. Being in here is like i'm in a gallery of masterpieces of different authors , you can read as much as you want without spending a single cent and yet you can earn BCH as the same time. Awesome!
**Thank you for the read. Permission once again to mention all of you here. Just want to say THANK YOU to all of you!**

I Turned my 10 Peso Coin Into 2,500Php or 50$ !
No:39 - 1
August 01,2022
Yaaay! I survived July and i am such a happy soul for that. For those who cared to read my article " Christmas in July" i don't feel good about the month coz of sad things that occurs on the said month in the past. Anyway i was able to surpass the month with glory. Turning my sad month of the year to a fruitful and jolly one. One happy soul here and will begin the first day of the new month of August with a positive vibe.
Sooo, do you want to know how i turned my 10 peso coin into 2500 pesos or 50$? So let's go and read on to make some money, hahaha!
===============================
I was browsing my social media account one day and i bumped into a page " Barya Official Ph 2.0" .
I hit the Subscribe button and started watching their videos . "Barya" means coin in english. The owner of the page is a Coin Collector. He's collecting coins of different denominations as well as rare medallions and old series of various paper bills.
As i was watching some videos , i got interested in watching some more until i followed the page. At first i thought it was just a page that wants to gain more views so as to monetize their channel.
I watched more of his videos and learned what particular coin he's collecting and look for posts that shows if it's legit or not. Through watching i learned that there are series of coins minted by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in limited number of pieces.
Those minted in limited numbers are the ones who has value more than it's face value. They classify the coins as - Semi-hard to find, Rare or Hard to find coins and the error coins.
These are some of the coins that he is collecting. These are hard to find coins already coz BSP minted these coins in limited pieces.
Geez, all coins are really hard to find i'm telling you. The year indicated was the year of the coins that is quite important for the coin collectors.
Got really interested to look for some coins above coz it has high value now. Since i have a small sari sari store , i started looking everyday trying my luck.
Finally
A month gone by before i finally found a coin that he's collecting and that was a 10 peso coin year 2009. I message the page and send this photo of my 10peso coin.
He immediately responded and asked how much i'm gonna sell it to him. The price ranges from 1500 pesos upto 3000 pesos that time , would depend on the coins status. If it's in good condition or uncirculated then the higher the price.
We agreed for 2500php or 50$ . He sent the money thru gcash after we exchange some details. Since i'm going to send it to him he added 200php for the shipping fee, sending me 2700php in total.
Couriers do not accept coins for delivery so we agreed to hide the coin or do not declare it to the courier that i am sending coin.I inserted the coin inside the sponge and put it in a folded short and told the courier that it was an item bought by my client or miner in our live selling.( I used to do live selling) .
And so it happened! It's legit. I was able to turn my 10 peso coin into 50$! Is'nt awesome?
If you happen to have those coins mentioned above then kindly contact their page. For those who have a store or coinbank then check it out. You might find one that'll give you more than it's face value huh!
It's been four months since i found one in my store and until now i have'nt find another but still looking though. lol!
So folks! start the search!
Thanks for the read as always frennies!
For all my sponsors " Salamat ng `marami!" To @Talecharm thank you sooo much! I really missed you so dearly . And to` @alicecalope `i'm happy for you , so it's ok,` @Micontingsabit `get well soon! and to @Jento thank you for staying , you are much appreciated.`

hi
It's Sunday and it's raining at the last day of July. Just a drizzle but enough to cool down the air. After a cup of coffee this morning and listening to our neighbor's classical playlist on the radio , i was able to relax and it set the mood for me to do my laundry. hahaha.
When i was still a child , i don't like the mood or vibe a rainy day brings coz my mom used to work from afar and there were days she can't go home because it's raining hard. My two siblings and I are waiting patiently for her outside our home when we know she'll be home. But the rain many times hampered her in going home. It make us really sad. But those were the days. It changes now and i do like the occasional raining nowadays.
Washing Machine
Going back to my laundry. lol! I prepared my laundry after having breakfast. Separate the whites from the colored ones as usual. Headed to our laundry area. Put some water and laundry soap at the machine, put the clothes inside and set the timer. It was doing fine until .. hola! it stop. The machine gave up on me, hahaha! It did'nt wanna spin anymore. Probably too dizzy spinning .
Arrrrgh.. since i am in a good mood. I just took the clothes out of the machine , put it in the tub , get a brush and a laundry wood. I decided to do some handwash for today! Telling myself let's go back to basic in washing " you can do it girl" fight! hahaha.
As i was doing the laundry by hand , the neighbor's radio is still on and playing " Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head". Oh, that gave me some kick to finish my laundry. After an hour of doing some handwash , i was amazed by myself and realized i can still survive washing without using a machine. Though it's tiring really, but geez good mood and nice music kept me going.
TV
And seems like i really can't stop the rain from fallin on my head and testing my good mood if i'm going to breakdown and my eyes would turn red and cry.
While having my siesta after a tiring handwashing another thing happened.
We were watching TV and yes! it suddenly shut off. My husband thought it was just the timer . So he unplug and plug it again hoping it would turn on. Oh , goodness gracious! It did'nt turn on. He checked for the loose wirings or if socket was not fitted properly but nothing. Our TV just get tired of entertaining us maybe. hahaha!
Then i remember , the electricity went on and off during the thunderstorms last week and it happened again a few days ago. We were not able to unplug it then. I don't know if it has something to do with it.
Oh la la! Washing machine and TV are having some connivance i guess? lols! So what to do now?
*Coz I'm never gonna stop the rain by Complaining*
We still have the internet anyway so we still have some access to news and other tv programs and movies.
My youngest downloaded some OPM ( Original Pilipino Music) songs in his phone and listening to it while lying in bed and he's enjoying it. I'm still not done with my decluttering i started from last week and my son saw playing cards and he ask his " Tatay" (father) to teach him how to play with it. I'm hearing them from outside laughing out loud while playing.
When they get tired of playing my husband get the Ukelele of my daughter and tried to play a song and our two kids joined him in singing. But since the Ukelele is out of tune and my husband can't fix the string he stop playing. They just now listening to some music and continue singing.
*Because I'm Free, Nothing's Worrying Me*
A sudden going back to basic in washing and entertaining ourselves for today . We survive it for a day and hopefully for the coming days until the repairman check on it and tell us what to do next.
A realization hit us somehow that hey! it's not really bad slowing down a bit and live with the basic. That prior to technology , learning the basic of doing things is a must . We should teach our children the basic , the simplest things on how to have fun, how to enjoy out of ordinary things. Discovering how precious it is to spend your time with your love ones , talking , laughing and having some fun with just music around.
Instead of complaining , instead of getting piss and be annoyed on the things we can't control why not accept things as it is. Face the problem and find the best solution.
And "because i'm free and Nothing 's worrying me " line perfectly set my great mood for the whole day. Don't worry be happy mode on. Just praying though that not another appliance will be broken tomorrow and i can still manage. lol!
Thank you always for the read. To my sponsors as always Salamat ng marami!

Family day ngayun , ano ang plano nyo mga kaingay? Have a blessed Sunday to all.
The Reunion and Goodbyes
No:37
July 31, 2022
Due to Covid-19 our family reunions and gatherings was rescheduled and after years of waiting , finally we we're able to hold the event last July 22.
An Aunt from the Land down under went home after 3 years , a cousin from New York after 9 long years was able to make it too. Another cousin from NY too after 4 years , a cousin from Canada and another Aunt from UAE. Some relatives from other parts of the world did'nt make it coz of their prior schedule .
The Event
Our mini Reunion was held at Mcdonalds. Originally all of us agreed to hold the event at Jollibee , lol! Coz they misses the food from the bees but Jollybee is really such a busy bee he can't accomodate us. No slot available for us. Kids and kids at heart still pushes to have some fun and so we ended up at Mcdonalds.
The feeling of being reunited to your love ones brings such happiness that somehow fill your heart with blissful excitement. Anxieties and longiness that arises due to pandemic magically vanishes as we started catching up for the lost years.
There's a little bit of reminiscing the recent pandemic and how we were able to survived and given a second life. My whole family suffered from it last year. Two of my cousins in NY also acquired the virus coz one of them is a Theraphy Nurse and another is a Dental Assistant. Both in the medical fields and both are expose and at high risk in their respective jobs. Tears are flowing as we emotionally tell our stories. But it was such a relieving moment that we were able to hugged each other again after long years. And yes we survived the sickness and quite sad for the lost of some of our relatives due to it.
While the kids are busy playing at the play area , teens are busy catching up too. They were just little kids the last time they saw each other.
Now they are all teens and young adults. They even happily reenacted their photos from years back. They can't get enough of themselves they even continued their get together and had a sleepover together at my aunts condo.
Aside from the catching up. Giving of pasalubong was also the fun part. And whom are the happiest but us who resides here in the Philippines. Hahaha! Oh! How we love unboxing of gifts huh! It was really fun seeing all of them once again.
But as the party ends , saying goodbyes was such a sad part you dont want to utter it but just say " see you again".
Bye for now
As we are packing our things as the allowed time for us to spend in the place is about to end. We are bidding each other goodbyes and the joy we have felt seeing them are now replace with sadness again. But this time with higher hopes that separation this time won't be that long and we will see each other again next year.
They are families that supported us wholeheartedly when we got sick ,sending money for our medical expenses during that time. Calling and checking upon us day and night if we are doing good. Telling us what to do , what to eat and praying for our fast recovery. Telling us to fight the sickness and don't give in to panic, stress and depression catalyzed by the disease.
Even though they are living from different sides of the world , family ties are so strong distance is not a cause to break it. Ahhhh, saying goodbyes are really sad we could'nt hold our tears back. But for now as we parted ways all we could say is " see you again". We need to say goodbye today so we could say hello again tomorrow.
===============================
Sipping a cup of coffee inside my little store while my neighbor are playing old songs from the radio make a relaxing Sunday morning and wishing you all a blessed one. It's family day , what's your plan?
Thank you for the read always. To my sponsors "salamat ng marami". And to beb @Micontingsabit get well the soonest. Praying for you dear.

If We are All At the Summit? Then who would be in the Middle and Bottom of your life?
No:36
July 29, 2022
Everybody seems focusing their energies to be on top. More and more people are racing and chasing their dream. Ask them what their dream are and they would answer .. To be "On Top". To be at " The Summit" .
Have you ever wonder ? If we are all at the top , then whose going to work for us? If we are all Superiors whose going to do the dirty works? We will end up doing all the works individually , competing against each other whose better but i guess will be too exhausted with our own world we would not be able to enjoy our fruit of labor. Sad life.
Imagine a world that full of Leaders then whose going to follow us? It can't be right? We can't be all leaders without a pack of followers.
So why we are all racing to be "On Top"?
Does it mean , happiness lies only at the top? People at the summit are the happiest people ? How about people in the middle and at the bottom? Are'nt they happy at all?
Misconceptions about the real score of being on top. That if we are in the highest state then we are problem free, worry free and we could have an absolute freedom. Freedom to do whatever we wishes without conforming to rules because we are the ones creating rules to follow.
On the contrary "Successful People " are not problem free. They are not Exempt from problems coz success does not eliminate it , it actually creates new ones.
A much greater responsibility to manage your wealth,manage your people ,to stay on top . All of these are part of being on top . You can't just sit still and relax. You must see to it that your employees are reaching maximum productivity and so on and so forth.
What the virtual world are feeding us on how to be happy. On how to live our life are quite misleading. Buy this or that , wear branded clothes and you'll feel good about yourself thing. Funny when you're wearing a Prada in a simple community and no one recognize it. Would you tell them , hey! i'm wearing an expensive clothing. Probably some will look at you with awe but what's next?
***Some may want and work hard to be on top to fulfill a dream. To provide with their love ones. To reverse the difficult life they have , into a comfortable and secured life. And that is good. That is awesome . Being on that state , where you are giving joy to your family , sharing your blessings to others who are in need may be the satisfaction we are looking for and not the state of being on the summit.***
Acceptance of Reality
An organizational chart in every companies where every part is important and every role is vital is the actual reality. From the President or CEO down to Rank and Files to Maintenance and Janitorial works are as important and absolutely necessary for the whole company to succeed and reach the summit.
There must be people to acknowledge who are in the middle doing your work for you , for you to stay on top and some in the bottom to properly see to it that everything in the company are done accurately. Those who work late at night just to secure the premises. Those who keeps the entire building clean to suit all the workers and work comfortably. All of them must be acknowleged for their greatness , for doing their job accordingly even if they are not at the top.
In conclusion . No one is up all the time and we need our families , our love ones when things goes wrong and our tower collapse. We need to look and take care of the people whose in the bottom that would probably catch us when we fall from the top.
We live in a world where everyone seems on the race to reach the summit. We have become so attached to comforts and luxuries in life that we sometimes forget the values in respecting and caring for others. Our parents , relatives or friends perhaps.
The happiest people are the givers as they say , the ultimate goal of happiness may not be found at the summit but at the bottom , with people you can be with either you are happy or sad. Keeping our feet always on the ground , spreading kindness and we can remarkably contribute to society constructively.
Thank you as always for your time to read. And for my sponsors , salamat!

Whose Real or Con? Would you take your Mask off?
***No:35***
***July 28,2022***
`I'm into poetry for quite a long time. Love to express my thoughts through it and write a piece if i'm in the mood. Or just doodle a line or two that pops into my mind then i'll just go back to it when something comes up again that ryhme .`
`This piece i write for my cousin . She's been vulnerable for quite some time now. Heartaches that most of us gone through from the past and some are dealing with currently like her,i guess.`
Entitled "Whose Real or Con" coz living in our world today , somehow it's really hard to know whose real or whose just pretending to be real to get something from you. So let's see what i've got to write.
*****WHOSE REAL OR CON*****
***In a world that's full of lies and fraud***
***will it still be safe to trust and hope***
***will you show your true self for me to know?***
***or will you hide your face and put your mask on.***
I was talking to a cousin this afternoon and she was confuse and having some issues of the heart. We are close as sisters and i am always her confidante when it comes to matter of the heart. hahaha! No i am not a love guru or some sort i'm just a good listener as they say . I listen with a heart. lol.
She's single and pretty and chubby. A meztisa and with a kind and generous heart. But i should say also naive and gullible when it comes to relationship and other matters of the heart.
She had previous relationships and all of them are older from 10-15 years of her age. Though she's pretty , she's not into the looks of her past relationships. I would always tease her with " why? " and she would just stare at me and frown and i would just laugh.
Her past relationships are all lies. Lies coz all of them took advantage of her naivety. Not one of them took their mask off for her to know them better.
***Will you allow me to go deeper into your soul?***
***or let me just stay outside your door.***
***I don't allow too many into my world***
***I just want the real ones that i can hold.***
Somehow , i want to influence her on my way of thinking that not all people that smile at you are true. That trust is only given to people who earned it , who worked hard for it to gain your trust. Not overnight and not with mere words but through their actions. If they are so mysterious you can't go deeper and let you just outside their door and not allow you to enter their life then it's not worth having a relationship with them.
***The one i could talk to with much sense***
***the one i could laugh with silly things***
***the one whose not afraid to fail***
***the one whose brave enough to sail.***
Having a relationship with someone should not be a one way ticket. You should both enjoy the ride , talking about life , having plans and goals as you venture to a new journey every single day. Not afraid to sail into the uncertainty of life with you , not afraid to fail but brave enough to stand and fight for you. Someone who will be proud to be with you. May not shout to the whole world for them to hear but has the guts to show they really care in the open.
Not just around to make you happy but ready as well to face realities with you and that includes sorrow and sadness within the relationship. If it's too good to be true then it must be con.
***They said that i am naive and clueless***
***On how you can fool me with your best***
***they say you took advantage of my weakness***
***a weakness to fall and love you fearless.***
She's been through a rough road in her past relationships and her recent man know everything about it. I tell her straight that he is using her vulnerabilty at his advantage. The guy is committed to another woman yet he made her fall. At first, she taught he was just kidding her so she told him to stop.
Until one day he propessed his love and told her just to let him express his love even if she will not reciprocate his love. Men oh! Men ! how could you be so damn great in fooling a woman's heart?
A daily message of concerns, a continuos lines of cheesy things , a trap that eventually catch her heart. And now ... what should i say but yes, she's stupid to catch the bait.
***And now that she's miserably inlove***
***Her heart cries out for pain***
***coz everything turns out to be a lie***
***He's aint not there when she's fallen.***
***He can't give up his woman***
***but He want her too on his side***
***What a lame excuse he can't choose one***
***He love them both , he can't hurt one.***
How feeble his excuses not to meant to hurt her . That he just accidentally fall for her. When in the truth they only met after some time due to some business dealings. And after it was done , he kept calling her, sending quotes , sending messages , sending food. Etc.. etc..
Why there are some who'll do anything to make it sound like they are helpless so you should understand. Justifying their act and using love as the culprit. Uttering words like " nagmahal lang ako" ( i just fell inlove) .
Goodness gracious. Having the guts to utter those words of love yet heartless to break and hurt others. Now that he knows she's in love with him. He was leaving him a question and a decision to make. " I'ts all up to you". I love you but i can't leave her. Laying all his cards and it's all up to my cousin if she'll continue or not.
If she does then it will be all her fault and the man is now free of guilt . And the infamous line will follow. I really do love you but i understand if you leave me, it's all up to you. That's bu!! &h!+ !
In our world of full of lies , would you consider wearing your mask all the time , to atleast protect you from people that insanely go out of their way to fool around and deceive.
Whose Real or Con? Would you take off your mask for me?
Thank you again for the read. To my lovely sponsors Salamat ng marami🙏

Masarap na mahirap ang may negosyo.
Maliit man o malaki dapat tututukan mo.
Minsan masakit din sa ulo
nakakapagod pero ikaw ang amo
Nasasayo kung lalago ba to
pag dimo minahal tyak kaw ay talo.
sa pagtaas ng gas , hala lahat apektado
ayoko mang sumabay ngunit malulugi ako
tiis tiis lang mga customer ko
pag ako yumaman , ipamimigay ko
lahat ng laman ng tindahan ko.
Hahaha! pagyaman ko pa ha!
kaya bukas magsipagbayad na kayo.
Magandang gabi sa lahat. Kayo po ano negosyo nyo?
Oatmeal Cookies at Double Chocolate cookies at kape para sa meryenda.
Sister kong bunso ang nagbake nito. Dati nagbebenta din kami ng ganito during pandemic. Pero now wala na sya time magbake. Kaya nakakamiss ng sobra. Fave ko yung Oatmeal Cookies di masyado matamis at crunchy. Kayo mga bebs ano meryenda nyo?
Eto pa lang yung mga toys na sa ngayun e kaya ng i let go ng bunso ko. Bigyan ko pa daw sya ng more time para sa iba. hahaha! parang second chance lang sa magdyowa hano?
Don't tell your kids your reason for decluttering coz the things are old and worn out already kasi yung paborito kong slippers pambahay isinama nya sa itatapon kasi nga daw sira at luma na. hahaha, wala nako nagawa. 😅
Pati yung suot kong t-shirt na maluwag at may butas butas itapon ko na daw or gawin basahan para marecycle. haist , minsan hirap din magturo sa mga bata ng wisdom no? napapasubo ako. hahaha.
Anyway , highway, naglunch na ba kayo? Gandang hapon sa lahat.
Goodmorning @noise.cash fam!
Belgian 3 in 1 choco drink.
Nakita ko lang to sa grocery at mukhang masarap kaya itry ko ngayung umaga bago ako bumili pangtinda sa aming sari-sari store. Dark and chocolatey , rich ang choco flavor pero medyo matamis para sakin pero compare sa 3 in 1 coffee mas matamis pa din yung mga 3in1 coffee dito satin. Sa kape at choco drink kasi konting sugar lang ako. Masarap sya kaya pwede i pang benta.
Ganun din ba kayo? Sa mga may tindahan dito , nagtatry ng bagong item at titikman muna bago ipush sa market? market talaga ? hahaha.
Pagkatapos ng magdamag na ulan , eto na muli si haring araw parang sinasabi na " Oh tapos kana ulan, ako naman!" Gandang umaga sa lahat!
Kinder Egg Toys, Ninja Turtles, Woody, Forky, at kung ano ano pa.
Nagdeclutter or nagbawas kami ng mga laruan ng bunso ko kanina. Sabi ko piliin nya yung pwede na nya ipamigay or yung sira na pwede na itapon.
Ang ending konti lang rin nabawas kasi ayaw pa nya i let go . Yung slippers ko na pambahay ang inilagay sa itatapon at dapat na daw itapon . Hahaha.
Lakas ng buhos ng ulan . Pawi ang maghapong init. Musta ang gabi nyo noisefam?

*" Where is my home slippers bhe? My 6 year old son smiled at me and point at the plastic bag i gave him to put some of his toys to be given or to be thrown away . I put it there mom! It should be thrown away too coz it's worn out already. I was speechless. hahaha!*
A hot and humid Tuesday huh! It's like i'm bathing with my own sweat the whole day. But a cold pineapple juice with lots of ice is enough to quench my thirst and ease the heat somehow.
Since we we're busy the past few days coz of our mini family reunion and some other stuff i was not able to clean the house as i used to. We just rested and allowed myself to be lazy the whole Sunday. I scheduled my decluttering this whole week. And day 1 would be my son's toys.
Toys , Toys, Toys
For day 1 . I ask my 6 year old son to help me to choose what toys he chooses to let go and i gave him a plastic bag for it. To give some with his cousins in the neighborhood or just put in the trash coz it's garbage day tomorrow.
We usually do these when his box of toys are full already and i let him do the choosing of what to let go. Since we had a reunion a few days ago and some cousins and aunts from different sides of the world came home finally after the pandemic, i expected it already that he would get some new toys from them as a gift or "pasalubong". Most of his toys are gifts . I only bought a few , the cheapest always. hahaha!
We have a small space so accumulating unnecessary things inside our house is not advisable and toys are included. So , from time to time we organize and remove unnecessary things. He would answer keep it or let go . Heres a few of his toys that he can't let go yet.
Kinder egg toys - noooh! Can't let go of them momi, kawawa naman sila , wala silang bahay. hahaha! ( it's a pity if they became homeless. And so the Ninja turles , i love playing with them. They are my friends.
These? No, no, no. I like them all. You told me that only broken toys are to be thrown away, he said. We are not going to throw away the good ones bhe , you can give some to your playmates or cousins in the neighborhood. You choose what to give them.
He asked, why are we doing this mom? Aside from the fact that we have a small house , we have to get rid of some unnecessary or things that we can't use anymore so we could have more space, a more clean and organize home. We got the chance to check of some things that are broken and need to be thrown away. Clothes that are worn out and too small that can be donated or give to somebody so it could be of use again.
We could also do some ***Emotional decluttering sometimes. Get rid of extra baggages for us to breath more smoothly. Forgive those who hurt and cause us pain, let go of negative emotions and grudges , and then move on. A clean and clear heart will see goodness despite adversity. Will radiate positive vibes to other and will live more happily i guess.***
To sum it all we only ended up with one medium plastic bag to be given with his little cousin Noah. He helped me once again in organizing his toys and put it in the box. He then asked me if we're done with it. I said yes , and he gladly put the plastic bag in our little store beside other things to be thrown away the next day.
I was looking for my house slippers and i can't find it anywhere. So i asked my son. " *Where is my home slippers bhe? My 6 year old son smiled at me and point at the plastic bag i gave him to put some of his toys to be given or to be thrown away . I put it there mom! It should be thrown away too coz it's worn out already. I was speechless. hahaha! And so your shirt mom , you should make it as a rag. It 's too loose already and has lots of holes in it. lols! 😂*
But I love this shirt and that slippers honey! hahaha!
Thank you for the read frennies. And to my lovely sponsors. Salamat always!

Waiting for the gate to open, hahaha. Kaso makulimlim kaya bawal lumabas baka biglang umulan kaya dyan lang kayo. So sad ang mga babies.
Bakit po ba grabe ang init ? Maghapong gloomy pero ang init sa pakiramdam . Nakailang litro na yata ako ng tubig. Anyways, musta ang lahat? Hindi rin ba kayo makalabas? hehe.
A well blended Coffee
`Have you heard about The Story of the Carrot , Egg and Coffee beans? I just read it somewhere way way back and it's really nice i'd share it here.`
It was an inspiring story for me that i guess i went through many times the process a coffee beans has gone through to make a tasty well blended coffee . A version i would love to tell while having a cup... here it goes.
*There was a young girl whose struggling and tired of fighting lifes difficulties and she went to her mom in the kitchen crying in despair. Her mom simply hugged her tight and let her cry . After a while she went to the pantry to get a carrot , egg , and some coffee beans.*
*She boiled the carrot, egg and coffee beans in a separate pots for 20 minutes. After everything has cool down. She asked her daughter to touch the carrot, it was soft upon her touch, the egg was harden and was asked to sip the brewed coffee and the young girl was delighted by it's taste.*
*The young girl was confused and ask her mom the meaning of it. Her mother gladly explained that. After 20 minutes of boiling in high heat we are either become soft and weak like a carrot we just give up. Or an egg that has shell to protect us from adversity and has liquid heart and spirit that freely flow but hardened as life adversities has taken place. Or a coffee beans that after putting in high heat will give a tasty coffee blend after that we love to sip. Ready for blending with other flavors as well.*
================≠==============
Been through a lot in the past . I could say i'm brave enough to conquer all. Though there are some people too proud i don't understand why. I just ignore them for my peace of mind. But sometimes it will get into your nerves and can't help yourself but to wonder why they are doing that? They serve as the hurdles along the way.
I am at the stage of my life wherein the process of reaching our goal is in the hardest part, currently in it's boiling phase. The difficult stage where patience are being tested over and over. Challenging your resiliency unto it's highest point. Though giving up is not a choice i would consider but reality really struck us sometimes that reaching your goal is ain't that easy. Utilizing all the resources left , extending it's life and use to atleast reach the target date , guarding and bracing your heart to it's maximum level for you not to breakdown and clinging to Hope despite everything is not an easy thing to do but has to do anyway.
While you are in the process of boiling , lots of stuff you need to bear while boiling. The heat will be some people around pulling you down or difficulties that makes you want to stop fighting and just give up.
It's not easy to face your hurdles with a brave heart always. There is always this somebody ready to pull you down despite being ignored. Just recently, i asked myself why? Why on me? Why do you have to tell me your high salary when i'm not even interested to know? Why do you keep on thinking i'm a competitor while i don't even give a damn about your life? I don't even go outside the neighborhood to chitchat and just focusing to resolve our own issues in life. Baffling how they are giving so much of their time nosing with my life.
People , people . I can't fully comprehend your point. Why do you have to drag me with your own issues i know nothing about. I have my feet on the ground coz that's exactly where it should be. I have nothing much to offer but i give without expecting some returns. I'm not hiding anything but i don't owe anybody an explanation how i'm living my life. Go on your way and i'll go mine. As long as our paths don't cross you don't bug me at all.
Those are just people feeding you negative thoughts but i know also part of the process for us to reach our goals. People around that i know just want to meddle and distract you.
`I am at the stage of that 20 minutes boiling point wherein hurdles are from side to side but i am praying and trying of course to pass the stage without collapsing and melting my core.`
Been a " ****Carrot**** "many times that soften and got weak and soft i can't stand after my mom died of cancer. When a bestfriend committed suicide . A phase that i guess is quite normal if you're in pain and still hurting. The phase wherein you want to give up the fight.
Been an " *****Egg*****"too that my heart eventually hardened after being boiled. The heart that was used to be soft and freely gives love and trust hardened as our Father leave us with nothing but question of endless why's.You need to be TOUGH to get through all difficulties and adversities to survive. But that was in the past. I'm healed now from the wounds of the past. I am now back with a SOFT and loving HEART.
Been through a lot as i've said many times and through Gods grace i know i've been a ****Coffee beans**** for quite so long now that has been to countless boiling points in my life . I am satisfied with the right blend of coffee that i become in the process.
How about you? Have you been a carrot , egg or coffee beans?
Thanks for the read fellows. It's 11:05 in the evening . The rain is pouring mildly and the sound in our roof makes me want doze off right now. Have a goodnight sleep to all.
Thank you as always for my lovely sponsors.

We went to our mini family reunion this afternoon. It was fun seeing them again after a long while due to pandemic. Tired but really happy though. Seeing my cousins from different sides of the world. But anyway i'll write about our gatherings next time. It was raining while we are on our way home.
I drafted this one last night but too sleepy to finish it . I just want to introduce myself for those who might be interested to know me. lezzgoo...
===============================
People sees me as compose , prim and proper and don't seem to get mad nor lose control. I have patience as long as the rails of train as my husband always tell other people. There are some triggers that somehow freak me out. One of those is lying. It's a no-no for me.
Though i am soft spoken as they usually say but i'll see to it that you'll hear me and get my message straight. Do not be mistaken with my soft voice , i am firm with my beliefs and i'll stand for it even if it means losing you in the end.
I don't need to shout for you to listen but i'll make sure to prove my point. I'm straightforward but i don't just speak, out of the blue. I don't just talk , I listen. I listen to understand. I will look into your eyes to go deeper and feel your soul. I could sense if you're real or con.
I don't mess around other peoples live unless your family or a close friend that allows me to interfere. Don't tell me stories about other people unless it's good and i'll find inspiration. If it's about our neighbor's life , waiting for me to judge, i'm sorry i'm not a verdict nor a judge, i am just a simple person living a simple life.
Talk to me and i will talk to you. If we are not friends , ignore me and it's totally fine with me. No big deal , no issue. Let's be civil.
I am an Introvert and i don't care if your an Extro or Omni. Just be real and i'll be good company. I don't care if you're rich ( i'm not either,hahaha) or not , if i like you , i like you not because of what you can give or offer me but because of who you are. I don't swear often , so if i do , i mean it .
***Rule your world and i will rule mine. Don't make it complicated by thinking , yours is better than mine coz i don't give a damn. I'm perfectly fine with mine.***
It's not my cup of tea to please everyone, just myself and my love ones. If you don't like me , it's ok . I am fine with the small circle that i have. They are all true and trustworthy i could live with them for a lifetime.
If a friend ask me out and i say yes , it means i have money to spend for my bill. I won't ask you to treat me unless insisted by you . hahaha. Most of my friends would say . Let's go out , i would say i don't have budget yet and they are like. C'mon it's on us. Yeah , that's why i don't want to go out with you guys. Just come over and i'll cook for all of you and let's have a long talk without worrying how much i'm going to pay. lol!
I don't pity myself just because i have less. I don't pretend to be someone else i'm not. I'm living within my means and not within my friends means.
***I may not know everything under the sun , i may not have the means to reach you nor give what you need , i may not have the answer to all your whys but " I AM REAL" this is me , i cried and will cry for more , i loved and will love more. I am a FRIEND , a MOM , a WIFE , a SISTER , a Human being ready to face the real world with you.***
So , would you care to be part of my world?
Thanks for the read. Once again i would say , i am grateful to be here.

For all the things that's happening around , for all the storms that passed and somehow shattered us , i always believe in the power of God. The power to restore and give us life again.I am not a religious buff but i do believe in HIM . I could feel his presence , happy i am or sad.
Just want to share to you how grateful i am through this ode i write for our Dear LORD.
***"Thank You , My Lord "***
*I don't mean to reach the moon or the stars*
*Coz i know it is quite far*
*i just want what my hands can grasp*
*what reality can lay on my lap.*
*As i walk upon the road of life*
*I stumble and fall on roads that rough*
*but you offer your hands for me to hold*
*now i remain standing for you to mold.*
*In the middle of my battle*
*I was left with a ruined castle*
*my heart was broken and shattered*
*But you healed me it was restored.*
*I am so weak ,can't seem to walk*
*you carried me all along*
*I was in pain , i cried a river*
*you hugged me tight while i shiver.*
*I was lost in our vast world*
*Too proud , keep doing it on my own*
*But you keep looking back for me*
*To show the way, so i won't get doom.*
*Thank you my Lord for all your grace*
*Though i'm stubborn , don't seem to care*
*My heart is full of gratitude*
*for all the care you've share.*
*Thank you my Lord for many chances*
*for continuos love and forgiveness*
*Only you has the power to give and bless*
*Humanity with endless kindness.*
*Thank you for the simple yet happy life*
*For giving me my King who made me a Queen*
*Stars may be quite far , but you handed me one*
*That i can hold in my hand.*
*Thank you for my Family*
*Thank you for a Marriage that last*
*Thank you for the heart that forgive*
*Thank you for the eyes that sees hope*
*even in chaos and adversity.*
*Thank you for molding me as i am*
*Strong and ready to face a battle once more.*
*Thank you My Lord , what else should i say*
***but I LOVE YOU more each day..***
Thank you all for the read. Really grateful for being here.
