What do I feel about this news?

Of course, I am extremely excited. Who wouldn't be, right? Finally! After studying at home for 6-semesters (August 2020 to July 2022), I'll be back in our university.

Apparently, there's a part of me that feels worried to many things. The primary reason? Money. Yes, M-O-N-E-Y.

Why am I worried?

In every aspects, money make things work. From foods to transportation to clothing and shelter to education. A person must have the MONEY to have it all especially in this modern era that nothing seems to be FREE. Lahat may bayad o kailangan paandarin ng pera~

From the word MONEY, itself. It's quite obvious that my worries are all related to FINANCIAL and yes. This is what made me to think a lot these past few days.

Here's the few reasons why I feel worried on the resumption of traditional mode of learning:

• Who will finance my daily allowance?

It has been 3-years since I begun financing my studies which basically started when I'm in first year college, October 2019. Why? Papa got sick and when he recovered, he seems to not like working anymore.

Actually, by now? I am asking myself: "it's been almost 3 years, does he still feel sick? Or he's just using it as a reason to not work?"

To answer the bulleted question above, it's none other than "me, myself & I." Don't want to give another burden to Mom, so I will do it on my own. Strong independent woman 'yernnn?

I am questioning myself: "Can I send myself to another 10-months of studying?"

Via online class? Yes, I can. But, face-to-face? Can I do so? Comparing to attending online classes, F2F is quite really costly. Gonna allot myself with PhP 100.00 ($1.79) worth of daily allowance. For a week, that'll be 400 pesos ($7.15). So, can I finance my own study? Yes, I can! With my noise.cash earnings, I surely can.

• What about the house rent & groceries?

You, guys are aware that I am the one who's paying the monthly house rent for PhP 1800.00 ($32.17). Since that I will still finance my studies for F2F classes, am I still gonna pay for the rent? YES, of course!

It has been my devotion since we decided to move out from Mama's family house. Don't want to go back in there due to toxicity and unhealthy relationships with our relatives, so I will push it through. But ....

"How about the monthly grocery supplies? Will I still gonna push it?"

Actually, I already said it to Mama that I will no longer buy groceries this September. She feels said and so am I~ the truth is I still want to do grocery shopping as it's my way of helping her to reduce her worries. Maybe I'll just lessen the things to buy? Ah! Dunno. Gonna sort things out first.

But maybe with Hive, I can still do this monthly goal of mine. So, self? Sipagan na natin! Para kay Inay. 🤎

• Who will finance my siblings' studies?

Of course, it's not just me who will attend limited F2F class. But also, my younger siblings to start by Monday, August 22. They are both Junior High School students, incoming Grade 7 and Grade 10.

I've been asking Mama: "Paano baon nila Mak?"

Coz basing on real capabilities? Yes, I can buy our every needs but their allowances? I can't finance it anymore. 'Di ko na talaga afford~

And here comes my biggest worry which I will be sharing through this question:

"How about Papa? Will he work again or nah?"

It has been my and Mama's problem since then, Papa being unemployed for unknown reasons. Is it "he can't" or "just don't want to?"

As my siblings come back to school, they will attend classes for 7:20AM to 3:20PM which automatically requires them to have allowance. And, who will finance it?

Mama have been financing our daily needs (foods), electric bill, and other expenses. But, Papa? Not anymore. I wanna help Mama with my siblings' allowance as I am afraid that she will get sick again like what happened in September 2021. But, I know that I can't~ grabe na pasanin ko eh.

Hopefully, Papa will get enlightened na. He can't chillax anymore and MUST work again. Coz if not? I don't know what will happen to us.

God? Please do help us with this journey, don't let us to suffer again like before. I will do anything, just jelp us out. Amen! 💗
