No Savings? Here Are The Reasons Why
August 22, 2022
Do you have savings?
When did you promise yourself to start saving but then as time goes by your plans of saving money didn't pushed through.
You keep on saying that you will save some money but nothing has been saved even a centavo?
Are you in doubt if why do not have savings even though you have inflows of money? If your answer is yes, then you should continue reading my article but if you are a person who has savings / investment then you may also continue reading this and check if this are the things that you are doing and may this article help you to increase your savings. You may also add ways to have more savings that is not on the list below on the comment section.
Listed below are maybe some of the reasons if why you do not have savings:
**Planning without taking actions**
You always keep on saying that you will save money but in reality, you are not practicing it. It is also not okay that you are just planning about it but not taking actions with your plans. Time will not wait for you because it keeps on moving and as time goes by you will realize that you will end up without savings. It does not matter on how much money you are going to save, what is important is that you may be able to start saving.
Having savings versus without savings is all that matters because we may not know what will happen in the future. Just like in our country, Philippines, last 2020, lots of people lost their job and the sad part of it was lots of people who were affected by this does not have enough savings to fulfill their daily needs. Let's not wait for it to happen again. Having a money saved is equal to a piece of mind. Right now or a soon as possible is the best time to start saving, it is never too late. Always remember that, no one will save money for you except yourself.
**One Day Millionare Mindset**
This happens when the moment you have money is that you almost spend all of them and not thinking about your future needs. You act as if you have lots of money just like when you receive your income in your job. Buy here, buy there. Eat here, eat there. Order here, order there. Place order here, place order there. And days after you receive your income, you already spent almost all of your money.
There is nothing wrong in spending your hard-earned money, what is totally wrong is that you spend them immediately, and worst case is that you spend it on unnecessary things. It is okay to spend money when you really need those, learn to prioritize your needs versus your wants.
Be wise when it comes to your spendings. Budget well and make sure to still have money when your next pay day will arrive and soon when you have enough savings, you will never wait for your payday to have money to spent on your daily needs.
**Lack of Discipline**
Yes, you may be saving money from the moment you decided you start saving but the case is, you just started saving and been saving for months, weeks and even days but you already started getting some of it to something that you "want"
If you are a person who have an impulsive buying attitude most especially when buying unnecessary things, there is this kind of method wherein you might lessen buying unnecessary thing. First, when you saw something and the moment you saw it, you already want to buy it, one tip is that, you do not need to buy that item right away, you must discipline yourself not to buy it. Wait for 30 days to pass and if that time comes and you still want to buy that item then go on with your purchase but if you realize you do not want that item anymore then just go on,
atleast you did not spend monet for it.
**Not your priority**
Of course, people will only save money when it is their priority.
Looking forward on the future is also not a priority. But let me tell you something, being finacially stable is a plus and is something to be proud of.
People who has the capability to save money but is not prioritizing how to save money mostly does not value the importance of having extra funds.
The earlier we started saving, the better.
**Exemptions:**
Another part of the story is that not all people who does not have savings does not priority savings except for the people who are breadwinners that almost all of their money are spent in her family. They sacrifice their wants to get what his / her other siblings / family neends. So,salute to those people, most especially breadwinners, who carry lots of responsibility.
I think there are still lots of reasons if why others do not have savings, but these are my observations.
If you are going to ask me if do I have savings? Yes, I do have savings because I alot a percentage to my income as my savings. I am prioritizing first my savings and what is left in my income are money that I will only spend till next day comes.
Let's start saving money, then soon someday / somehow our savings will also save us.
Stop Body Shaming
August 15, 2022
Hi guys. How are you? I hope you're fine. Another grind again. Wishing that someday, for us who always keeps on grinding will achieve the things that we want, hoping that all our hardships / sacrifices will be paid off in the perfect time.
I am not sleepy that is why I composed an article.
Let me tell you first if why did I make an article about BODY SHAMING. Yesterday, our vice president in the company I am working with passby our department and almost all of us there are thin, but not that totally thin. She started telling ***"Luh! Ang papayat niyo dito."*** And she started asking each one of us if what is our weight and with that scene, I told myself to write an article about this issue.
That's all for my introduction.
**Have you ever heard about the word "BODY SHAMING?"**
Let me define first this to you.
Body shaming is the act of discriminating / tell negative statements to a person with regards to another person's body structure.
Lots of people do this to a person who is fat or thin.
Telling something about a person's flaw with regards to their body figure is not okay whether you are just kidding.
Did somebody ever tell you these words about your self / body?
For those who are thin:
*"Bakit ang payat mo?"*
*"Kumakain ka pa ba?"*
*"Isang pitik ko lang sayo, tumba ka"*
Tapos kapag humahangin, biglang may magsasabing:
*"Uy, kumapit ka, baka maitangay ka ng hangin"*
And for those who are fat:
*"Bakit ang taba mo?"*
*"Napabayaan ka siguro sa kusina noh?"*
*"Parang palagi ka sa birthday"*
*"Magdiet ka naman"*
Tapos pag naglalakad ka, may magbibirong magsabi ng: *"Lumilindol"*
And any other more.
**For those who are telling this ones**, they consider it as only "biro" but they really do not know the impact on our side, they are insensitive on how the other person will feel for those words that they consider "biro".
Before telling a person their flaws, please remember that not all people will just let it go. Some people are really sensitive when it comes to this matter.
If you are going to ask me if am I sensitive or not, my answer is "Yes"
I still remember, maybe that was 2years ago, I have this coworker and she tell me something about my body flaws, and I answered her back. I was mad at her that time. I did not talk to her for week but after it, she talked to me, I explained my side, I even cried that time and she's really sorry. And from that time on, she calls me "yats" and I call her "tabs" but she's not that too fat.
Yes, I am "thin" and no matter how much I want to gain more weight, my body just can't. Yes, I always eat rice everyday but some of you are aware that gaining and losing weight is both a struggle.
Yes, we may say that there are people who easily gains weight when they wanted to and there are also people who can lose weight easily when they wanted it also but remember that all of us are not the same.
There are really people who has difficulty in gaining weight even if they eat much. And there are also people who wants to lose weight, to the point that they are doing everything just to lose weight but it never worked.
We are not the same, so STOP comparing, that does not make sense though.
**What are the negative effects of Body Shaming?**
Body shaming can pull down an individual. Body shaming is a form of discrimination and may cause an individual losing their self-confidence and will start to be insecure about themselves and sometimes it ends up hating her / his ownself, starting to question if why is he / she like that.
Body shaming hurts other person's feeling and for those who are body shamers, I will ask you, "Are you happy that because of you, someone who loves herself / himself is no longer happy, having no confidence about himself / herself?"
For those who had been told the statements above, answer this question with a YES or NO
*Did you ever feel insecure when you look yourself infront of a mirror?
*Did you ever wish, that you have different body structure?
Love your flaws guys, because when you accept and love your flaws, no matter any person will tell something negative to you, it won't hurt you that much because you accepted your flaws and from that time, no one can hurt your feelings.
For those who keeps on discriminating a person with regards to their size / physical apperance, just STOP. It won't make you more beautiful / handsome from that individual, rather it will make you even a person with a bad image.
Stop discriminating, it won't help you. You may tell what you wanted to tell to that person but that does not mean you are perfect. Look at yourself, no one is perfect anyway, each and everyone had their diffirences, all we have to do is to accept our differences.
Others may look physically fit, that does not mean they are healthy, no matter what is your size as long as you are not prone to any sickness or you do not usually get sick, you are healthy. And that is the most important thing.
A Life Where Bills Are Not A Problem
July 26, 2022
Have you ever wished that everything is free, where you can live like as if you are not worrying about the monthly bills of electricity, water and other expenses? Of course everyone wants that.
If someone gave you an opportunity to live where you do not have to worry about bills and all you have to worry is your food then of course no one will reject that opportunity.
If you think that it is just immaginary / dream to have like this, then I am already telling you that you are wrong.
I grew up in a place where **almost** everything is free. Yes, not everything is free and I guess there is no place where you can live without expenses.
I grew up in a place where my parents do not have to worry about our electricity bills, water bills, bills in buying rice, tuition fees, gas for cooking, house rent and many more. All they have to worry about is on our daily expenses when it comes to food. Yes, you've read it correctly that when it comes to food, then that is the only time that they will spend money, except of course for the other things that the family needs and wants but basically when it comes to the usual bills that everyone has to worry, as mentioned above, it is all free.
**How did this happen?**
**Story Time:**
My father is lucky enough to be employed in a company where it offers a free housing, free consumption of electricity and water. The gas for cooking is on sale, it depends on what is your position in the company, if you're a manager, well I guess that's free, if you are a supervisor then you only have to pay 30% of the price and the other employees pay only 50%. How great it is right to live in a place like this?
The company also gives employees one cavan of rice for every 45 days, so the only thing to worry about is your viand. Not bad, because a cavan of rice is pricey and not buying a rice gives the family a chance to spend the money on other things.
If the employee has it's own family, the family of the employee can also enjoy the benefit of staying in that community without any fee. Every part of the family also enjoys the benefits of the company wherein if the child of the employee is now studying, his / her tuition fees is already free, the company will be the one to pay for it. What the employee will need to pay is the other fees like miscelaneous etc. (Elementary to high school only because the community only have an elementary and high school) And the school is not just an ordinary because it is private and at the same time a Catholic school. So, basically when the student will study in college, he / she needs to go out in the community for him / her to study. Almost all of the students chooses to study in Baguio City because it is the nearest city. Baguio from there is a one hour drive only. And yeah, if you are asking if where I went in college?, it's Baguio City and I also miss Baguio City.
Bonuses is always given on the month of May(half) and during December(half). The company do not only give 13th month pay, but they also give employees 14th, 15th month pay if the company is doing well. The company is not ***"madamot"*** with its employees. The salary is more than the minimum wage.
Living in that place / community is something to be thankful for. Not every company gives that kind of benefit and my father's work there is not even difficult.
The employees also enjoy the free shuttle bus going to work and going home. There are shuttle buses since the housing and the working place is far from each other.
But then there come a time wherein the company offered a 200% backpay to employees who are nearly to resign, who wants to have a voluntary exit on the company, my father volunteered and there are also a lot of employees who volunteered most especially those employees who will retire soon. That offer is really great that everyone who will resign soon got that opportunity. Everyone who volunteered got their pay with not only a six-digit pay but a seven digit pay. Yes, were talking about million here and that's a huge money. The company is really generous to its employees.
Of course, subject to that, those employees who volunteered will automatically leave the company. We left that place last 2015, and we are now in the province for about 7 years. I grew up there and I am 21 years old when we left the company / community.
When we are already here in the province, the reality of the world hit us, expenses of electricity, water and so on. Our life in the community is really different, there our tv is almost turned on even if there is no one watching, our lights were turned on 24/ 7 even when we're asleep, and here in the province we always see to it that when no one is watching, we should turn off the television and when it is already sleeping time we need to turn off the lights.
In times like this where everything is now pricey, I can not help but miss the place I once called home. If I have the opportunity to live there again, I will 💯.
Ps: I won't tell you where the exact place is but it is found in Benguet :)
LDR: Long Distance Relationship
**Definition of terms:**
**LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP** - magjowa / boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Hindi yung malayo siyang magkagusto sayo ha, hindi ganun yun beshy. Haha.
Kidding aside, let me start to discuss the topic.
**How can you say that you are in a long distance relationship?**
Are there qualifications on how far your distance is from each other? Well, I do not know if there is but in my opinions, as long as you have a hard time on seeing each other due to your distance, then your relationship falls under long distance relationship.
Lots of couples during this pandemic are not able to see each other often due to the difficulties of travelling and some places are under ECQ, GCQ, MECQ and so on.
Some couples also ended their relationships, I do not know if it is because of the lack of not seeing each other. Lots of people on social media have lots of posts about break-ups, and some says that their relationship ended because they were been replaced to someone who is nearer than them.
**Is it difficult to be in a Long Distance Relationship?**
Defenitely yes, the mere fact the you can not be with them in times that you want to be with them, it is already difficult. If there are occassions you should celebrate together, you can not even celebrate like monthsaries, birthdays, anniversaries etc. When you want their hugs, kisses, a shoulder to cry on, you just can not have it.
Being in a long distance relationship is very challenging and is very tempting. Even though if you know that your partner is really into you, you jusr can not deny a fact in yourself that you fear if, what if your partner can find better than you, prettier than you. Yes, you may have a lot of trust to your partner but you just can not trust those people who will be around them. Temptations are everywhere, always remember that. Some of those married often leads to separation, then how much more for those couples who are not married yet?
If in doubt, just always trust your partner, if your partner really loves you then he / she will never cheat on you and also for you, if you really love your partner then you will never ever cheat on them. Because, if your partner have cheated on you, as long as you know you did not do anything wrong then it will always gonna be their loss. Trust your partner and tell also your partner to trust in you. Never waste the trust your partner have given to you because trusr is the most important thing both of you must have if in a long distance relationship.
**Miscommunication**: The challenge of not talking personally to your partner may lead to miscommunication because if your communition is only through chats, then you have no idea if your person is alreay angry or not since you are only reading their chats.
Good thing, through the help of technologies, your level of misunderstanding may be quit resolved. I can already have more time talking to each other through messenger's video call etc.
**Who fits in this kind of relationship?**
People who are in a Long distance relationship should be strong. Strong enough to fight temptations that will come along the way.
People who can trust their partner. As stated a while ago, trust is the most important thing in every relationship. If you can not trust someone then how will you gonna love thnf em? You can not love someone if you have trust issues.
**People who have so much patience**
Being in a long distance relationship should know how to wait. Patiently waiting for the moment that you will spend your day together again. Your person must really if know why is he / she waiting.
I am in a long distance relationship now, but the distance is just a two or threw hour ride. We almost see each other every weekends since he always go home in our house when it is his restday. Glad that his restday falls on Saturday and mine is on Saturdays and Sundays but sometimes I do go to work on Saturday but after my work I always see to it that we have time for each other. Yes, we're legal in both sides. I know, we can make it and that I am hoping that we will end with each other for no matter what will happen.
Those who are in a long distance relationship, make sure you will make it till the end. You guys can do it as long as you believe that you can both do it.
My Thoughts About Second Chances
JULY 20, 2022
Do you believe in what they call "LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND?"
What are the chances that couples who broke up will end up being in each other again?
Why is there a need for them to end their relationship if they're going to reunite again?
Have you heard about the song of Tj Monterde's "MALAY MO TAYO?" It speaks about maybe the love is right but at the wrong time. Or it is really unclear if what will happen next, if they will end up together or not but the lyrics says something like, they will take a risk. It is clear that the ending is unclear but what if they are really destined for each other. Love is always risky, when you love someone there are chances that you will be hurt or you will hurt each other. It will always up to you if you wanna give it again another try.
Some people give second chances but others do not. Some people gives a person a second chance depending on the reason if why did their relationship end for the first time.
With my opinion, people do not deserve to be given second chances when CHEATING is involve. As they say, "once a cheater, always a cheater" Trust will be much affected in this situation and regaining trust that was broken is not that easy to be restored completely. You can not love someone whom you can not trust.
Chances are, if you have given someone a second chance who cheated on you, then that person's mindset will be "he / she will be forgiven again once he / she will cheat again and that will be a reason for that someone to take you for granted. Do not easily believe someone if they say to that they will change, it is always easy to tell a word but it is difficult to prove.
I am not telling that people are always the same, there will be people who are really willing to change for the better in order for the second chance that they receive will be worth it but just be very careful to someone who are just only good in words but lacks in action. Before you give them second chance, evaluate / observe them first if they are now really sincere about the relationship. Do not be "marupok" and give them right away the second chance that he / she wants.
Second chances should be given to someone who is really worth it, worth it when the reasons why you separated are with good intentions just like you need to fix yourself or you need to study first because that is what you need to prioritize.
Second chances are not worth it when the reasons why you broke up is because someone cheated on the relationship, whatever kind of cheating is not valid. Most cheating comes in the form of third party and when someone cheated us, it is really difficult to put back the trust. Trust is like a just that once it's broken, it will never be completely be restored again.
It will always depend on the person who you've done wrong will make the decision if you deserve a second chance or not, lucky are you if you were given that chance because not everyone has the courage to give someone a second chance. Those persons who gives people a second chance really have a big heart, they have a very understanding heart, so do not waste that second chance, it will always be once in a lifetime and you really need to treasure that, one single mistake may ruin everything, so just be very careful not to hurt them again.
For those who were not given second chance, hope that what happened in your relationship will be a lesson. You may not create a goos memories again with your ex, but promise yourself to be better or to be the best partner in your next relationship. With those experiences that you had with your ex, I know you've learn a lot, just apply those lessons that you had learn with your future partner and just do not mess up.
Never ever date someone if you have no intentions of marrying that person. Date someone because you aim for forever, not because you just wanted to have what you call "boyfriend" or "girlfriend".
If you are only dating because your purpose is to be married with that person, I guess the relationship that you have will be great. It may never be perfect because there is no perfect relationship but it will be worth it. And cheating will never ever enter your mind, so if you do not cheat, then there will be no chances be given to you because your love will not fail.
Unproductive Weekend
July 10, 2022
Hi guys, how are you? How did you spend your weekend? Did you make something that is productive or are you just like me that did not do anything much this weekend?
Employees like me who have a restday during weekends treat weekends as a relaxation day / bed day.
We all need time to take a rest for working on weekdays with 8 hours per day and some even work more than 8 hours per day for overtime.
So, what did I do this weekend?
You know the song of Bruno Mars titled "Lazy Song?" Well, that's my theme song for this weekend, most especially with these lyrics **"Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed"**
And if Bruno Mars **"Don't feel like picking up his phone"** well for me, I spent my weekend mostly by using my phone.
Literally, all I did was to lay in my bed this weekend. No, it's not that I am really lazy but the truth is I am really tired. Imagine, last Friday, my duty is from 7am to 5pm in the office and I also have to work during night time that starts from 8pm and we finshed our fieldwork by 3:30 am of July 9.
If you were me, you will really get tired. After work, I went home immediately in my boarding house and sleep at 4:00 am, woke up by 10:00am, eat my breakfast and stayed in bed until before 2:00pm because I will go home in our house by 3:00pm. I travelled by 3:00pm and arrived home by 4:30pm.
Upon arriving in our house, I ate a little bit because I am quite hungry and spend my time in my bed again. I fell asleep during this time and my mother woke me up by 7:00pm to eat dinner. Upon after eating, I went back to my room. Yes, I seldom wash the dishes when I am home because that is the duty of my younger sibling but when my sister is not around, I've got no choice but to wash the dishes.
I spent my time yesterday night by scrolling on my social medias account most especially in my tiktok account.
I never felt any dizziness during this time since I slept in the afternoon and I stayed up all night till 2:00 of July 10.
My routine when I am here at home is to lay in bed, I will just go out in my room when it's already mealtime and after mealtime, I will continue to lay in bed again. My only duty here in the house is to wash the dishes when my sister is not around. Well, they are not scolding me anyway since they know that I need to rest because working is really tiring.
Most of the time a while ago is that I spent my time entertaining myself with my social media account and of course, noise cash and read.cash is included in my routine everyday.
Right now, I am a little bit sad again because tomorrow is Monday again. Back to reality where we need to go to work again. I need to wake up early again tomorrow because I will now go back in my workplace and the travel time is one hour to arrive there.
I need to sleep now even though I am not that sleepy but I need to have atleast 7 to 8 hours to sleep. But I guess I will not already make it to sleep with atleast 7 hours since I need to wake up by 4:00 in the morning.
I am happy that I composed an article during this time. Coz I thought I will be doing my next article tomorrow evening but it turned out that I was quite productive tonight.
Goodnight guys, it is now time for me to sleep.
Love Has It's Own Perfect Timing
July 10, 2022
People who are single nowadays are now being pressured whenever someone is asking them:
"When will you get married?"
"Why is it that you still do not have a girlfriend / boyfriend?"
"Are you afraid of being in a relationship?"
"When will you introduce someone to us?"
All those stated above is what we call peer pressure, because it is around our circle who causes our pressure.
Some are also pressured because their friends are now getting married, some of them have children already and there they are, still not married or worst case, they didn't still have special someone in their lives, most especially those people who are now do not belong in calender or those who will be soon be out of the calendar, or in our Filipino language, we call it, "wala na sa kalendaryo", meaning their age can not be seen in calendar.
For all the single ladies and gentleman out there, do not just enter into a relationship just because:
you are feeling being left behind
you are being pushed to be in a relationship
you are afraid that you can never met someone with your standards.
Yes, all of us have their ideal partners in our minds. Some of us want to have someone who are handsome, someone with 4 wheels, someone who is great and is being successful in life. Someone wants a person who is God fearing, someone who knows how to respect, someone hardworking. Yes, most of us have a high standards when it comes to our ideal partner but some of them are not that patient enough to wait for that person to come in their life. The longer they do not meet / see that person the more that they become hopeless so with the fear of not having someone in their lives, they settle for less than what they do really deserve. At first, the relationship will be okay, but in the long run, happiness may turn into arguments or doubts.
People who settle for less than what they deserve most likely to question themselves a lot of "what if's" when the relationship is not going well. Because, from the very start, they ignored that red flag for the excitement of being in a relationship.
**Just a little reminder:**
When setting a standard for your ideal partner, consider your worth also. Do not just set a very high standard when it fact your ways of living is just average or below than that. For example, isn't it funny if a cheater longs for a loyal partner? Everyone will react if you know a person who cheats in every relationship that he / she have and wanting to have a loyal partner in the future?
How about, a person who is lazy, set a standard that the person he / she wants has to be successful in life?, Oh come on, a person who is successful will never ever be attracted to someone who has no sources of living, most people who are successful wants their partner to be successful also, or someone with a future.
**Advice**:
Be that someone whom you want to have, in other words, if you want someone who is loyal, then be a loyal person too.
If you want someone who is successful, then do everything to reach your goals and be successful.
**Back to topic:**
Loneliness should never be the reason if why we will enter a relationship, because in the long run, we will become frustrated. The happiness of being in a relationship now is just momentary. And in the long run, the happiness will not be present anymore and worst case, you will end up breaking that person's heart for not being really into the relationship. Your memory for that person is not good. It is not good to think that you are a nightmare in their life. And remember, karma is always there, what you did to someone - you will experience it too someday so that you can experience the pain you caused on someone else's life.
There is a perfect timing in everything, if you are single for now then enjoy the life of being single. Trust the process, good things are given to those people who knows how to wait.
The right person will come at the right time. There is purpose on why both of you didn't meet yet. Maybe you need to fix yourself first or that person should also need to fix himself / herself. You may never know the reason if why you have to wait, but when you finally met, all your questions about why will be answered.
Never envy those people who are in a relationship because not everyone who are in a relationship are happy, and not every single person are sad.
I read a statement years ago that states: "When I am single, all I can see are happy couples but when I am now in a relationship all I can see are happy singles" For me, what it really want to say is, if what is the status you are today, enjoy it, live your life to the fullest. So that once you will leave that state in your life, all you can say is, you had a beautiful memories about your past.
**Do not rush, haste will always make waste. Trust the process. Someday / somehow everything that you wished for will now bw in your favor.**
Current Goal: To Gain Weight
July 7, 2022
Ever since I was a kid, I consider myself underweight. It's not that I have nothing to eat but I guess my body just do not want to cooperate.
I remember when I was a child, my parents did everything for me to gain some weight. They even see a doctor for suggestions on what medicines / vitamins do I need to gain weight but after taking all the vitamins the doctor recommended, none of them turned out effective.
As I grow up, what is all in my mind is that, "I will never gain weight no matter what will I do"
No, I am not that skinny but my age / height is not appropriate with my weight. I am always underweight to be exact.
Lot's of people always tell me to eat plenty for me to gain weight. Little did they know that, it is really difficult for me to gain weight.
I am already tired hearing these lines:
*"Bakit ang payat mo?"*
*"Kumakain ka pa ba?"*
*"Isang pitik ko lang sayo, tumba ka"*
Tapos kapag humahangin, biglang may magsasabing:
*"Uy, kumapit ka, baka maitangay ka ng hangin"*
If only do they know how difficult is it for me to gain some weight. That sometimes, everytime I look myself at the mirror, I feel sad about my body. If only it's easy to gain weight then maybe I am already loving my body figure this time.
I remember years ago, I have this co-worker of mine, accidentally said something regarding my body, I did not like what she said and I started ranting to her / expressed that I am hurt for the things that she said and after that scene, I started not talking to her. I just hate people who keeps on uttering words not knowing if the person they are talking to will be hurt or not.
Yes, we, people, have different cases when it comes to gaining weight, others gain weight easily while others it is not that easy. And same is through with the process of losing weight, others can easily achieve it but others?, It's a NO.
I am really tired for those people who keeps on telling me "magpataba ka". I am tired of it because, if only do they know that gaining weight is one of my top priority this.
**Who pushed me to have a goal in weight gaining?**
I have this friend who is also my co-worker told me that one of our workmate started gaining weight and she also told me to take Propan w/ Iron since this is what our workmate is taking.
I bought vitamins last Monday ( July 4, 2022) but I only bought 8 pieces only because I will just try for the first week if my purchase is worth it but my main goal is really to take the vitamins for a month or two. I do not want also a buy 30 or 60 pieces all at once since this kind of vitamins is really pricey. I decided only to buy everytime I will receive my salary and my next purchase will also be good for 2 weeks since we all know that we, employees our salaries every other week.
Upon purchase, I did not still take the vitamins because I do not know if when will be the best time to take the vitamins. I saw some people takes the medicine before sleep and others take it 30 minutes before eating breakfast.
I was confused back then if what will I do since the one that I searched says different things.
When Tuesday comes, I finally decided to take the vitamins before I sleep. I also started eating breakfast which I usually do not do. It's just that, since I was in college, I really do not eat breakfast. I only eat two meals per day in which the first meal serves as my "brunch" (a combination of breakfast and lunch)
I started eating more than what I usually eat every meal. My morning routine changed a little bit from waking up at 6:20 to waking up by 5:30, to have some time to cook and eat for breakfast.
I boil egg in the morning, (2 to 3 eggs per day) 2 eggs for my breakfast and one egg after eating dinner.
When it comes to me, consuming eggs per day. Does it have something to whether I wanna gain weight or lose some weight?
I was quite confused with this matter since back then, I watched something that if you want to gain weight,eat rice but other people also says that when you want to gain weight, you should eat egg. But then, whether or not that it will help in the gaining or losing weight. I will still eat it because it is rich in protein.
Last Tuesday, I took my vitamins before going to sleep, same scenario last night. But then, today, I did not take my vitamins because I will be going to change my routine in drinking my vitamins.
Starting tomorrow, upon waking up, that is the time that I will take my vitamins because I did a research again about when will be the best time to drink vitamins. Since my vitamin is most composed of vitamin B, the research says that vitamins which are high in Vitamin B in most effective when taken before eating breakfast / when your stomach is not full.
I also started bring with me a two pair pieces of sandwiches so that I will eat it during working.
In taking vitamins, someone told me that I should get enough sleep up to 7 to 8 hours that is why, as much as I could, I will no longer stay up late and sleep early.
Hoping that someday, after a month or two, I will already see the results.
Almost there: 1BCH
July 5, 2022
Hi guys, good evening. How's your hodling in BCH? Or how many BCH are you hodling right now? I guess lots of you already have more than 1BCH in your wallet but for me, I am on my way there. I am just excited to reach my 1BCH.
I've been patiently manifesting and claiming that one day I will also own atleast one bch in my wallet. During my first months in noise.cash, I do not have plans in hodling what I am earning there. What I do most of the time is to convert it right away into Php. because back then, money is more important to me than hodling it. And back then, I am not that knowlegeable about cryptocurrencies that is why I ended up converting all my BCH into Php.
If I am going to compare the price of BCH now to last year, I can say that I am lucky enough of not learning on how to hodl because I may have a more of less 90% paper loss.
Ever since I started in noise.cash and read.cash, there are a lots of people "flexing" on how much BCH they actually have. Everytime I see people posting their hodlings, I can't help but to say "**SANA ALL**" Lol, kidding aside, there is a part of me of wanting it to try also, that instead of converting it right away to Php, I have an idea of why not hodl it first and have a goal to reach it.
After months of finally deciding on accumulating BCH, I finally started saving BCH in my wallet.
It was April this year when I finally decide to hodl all the coins that will reflect in my BCH wallet.
I am using Coins.ph as may wallet ever since I started on this platform. Every Filipinos have it because it is very convenient and user friendly.
I am also using bitcoin.wallet because last 2months ago, I planned to track my earnings in noise.cash and here in read.cash on a monthly basis. Bitcoin wallet is also good because users can create lots of wallets for the users to use it easily and accurately record.
If we are going to add those two, it is around 0.96BCH. I am already close to my one goal, that is have a 1BCH. I only need 0.04BCH to complete a single Bitcoin Cash
If you were to ask me if what wallet do I prefer, if it is bitcoin.wallet or coins.ph. It depends on what do I want. If my purpose is to easily convert it to cash then there is no doubt that I will choose Coins.ph. But if my purpose is to easily track my earnings, I will prefer bitcoin.com wallet. Thanks to those people who suggested to me to use bitcoin.com wallet to easily track my earnings because I posted one time in my noise.cash account that I want to track my earnings in read.cash and noise.cash separately then lots of people recommended this one, I am already using it for three months.
Grinding is never easy. It takes a lot of time and effort just to earn enough for the family. But one thing is for sure, if you wished for something, do not just sit and wait for your wish to come true. Do something for that wish to happen.
As per the saying goes **"Do your best and God will do the rest"** It says that we must still do everything that we can in reaching our dreams and not just by not doing at all and just keeps on waiting for his / her wish.
Just for what I have done, I always wish that if I could reach / hodl atleast 1BCH. What I am thinking is that, for me to able to reach it, I must help myself to make my wish come true. That time, I've been active in noise.cash, intercting to other people and I can tell that I am lucky enough since I always achieve my weekly goal of $10 there everyweek but as for the last of week of June until today, the result it is not good.
Hoping that within this week, I will already unlock my 1BCH. And once I have unlocked my 1BCH, I will aim for two and so on. Well, but right now.
For those who are grinding everyday, just do not lose hope. Sooner or later, we will receive blessings that we truly deserve.
Aja! We can do this.
PS: I will already end my article. I am already sleepy, and starting today, I promised myself to sleep early since I finally decided to take vitamins (for gaining weight) and one advice is to have atleast 7 to 8 hours of sleep
And lastly, I would like to thank you my dear sponsors. I appreciate all of you.
Let's Talk About MONEY
July 01, 2022
It's a new month again for us and a new month again to start grinding. It's the first day of July that is why I am here, being motivated again to write and hoping that this kind of energy that I have will always be consistent and wishing that I will not run out of topics to write to be able to be consistent also to have an article being published everyday.
***How do you define money? Some may define / describe it as:***
** Money is the root of all evil.*
** Money can not buy happiness.*
** You can see a person's true color when it comes to money.*
** You can see who your true friends are if you have no money*
and a lot more. We have different perspective when it comes to money.
Let me elaborate to you this one by one.
**1. First, money is the root of all evil.**
We may find this famous phrase in 1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"
- It is not the money itself which is the root of all evil but the love of money does. Money itself is neither good or bad. Money is simply used as a medium of exchange wherein you can be able to trade using your money whether in exchange of goods, clothings, house and many more a person may need or want.
It is what will be the purposed of your money which may define if it is for the good or bad. How you use your money may definitely define of what characteristic do you possess whether you are a good person or not.
Having money is not evil, earning money is probably not evil but on how you earn that money may simply define if it is a good money or not. If you stole that money, then the way you own that money is already evil. If you worked hard for you to be able to habe that money then it is not probably an evil one.
It is on how you use or on how did you acquire that money which will define if it is bad or not.
**2. Money can not buy happiness**
Yes, you may not buy happiness using your money but no one can ever survive without money.
With money, we can buy whatever we need and whatever we want but that will not mean that after we buy those things it can make us happy or not.
There are people with lots of money but they are not happy. Are you familiar with the song entitled INCOMPLETE with a lyrics of:
***Even though it seems I have everything***
***I don't want to be a lonely fool***
***All of the women, all the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you***
***So I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see***
***That without you girl my life is incomplete.***
This one is just an example of the saying that money can not buy happiness. Though happiness for us is subjective. Things which makes me happy will not be the happiness or others and the happiness others may also be not my source of happiness.
Though, no one can survive without money since money is very important to fulfill our daily / basic needs. As I have mentioned above, "money is a meium of exchange" that without money we can not buy our neccessities for us to survive just like food, shelter and everything that falls under our basic needs. Money is important for us because how will a person survive without money?
Others source of happiness is having money, but others do not. If will always depend on the person if what does it makes them happy. But for me, money is really important to me that when I do not have money or should I say, I may have money but when I know that it is no longer enough, it makes me sick. Haha. Lol. Kidding aside, when I do know that my money is no longer enough, it give me headeach and all I need is a medicine called "PERACETAMOL" haha. Only Filipinos may understand this. The medicine is really called as paracetamol but we Finipinos iriterate it as PERAcetamol which PERA, a Filipino word, which means money, in other words, money will be the only way for him / her to feel okay again. ( Well, that's only a joke, there's is no such medicine called PERACETAMOL)
**3. You can see a person's true personality when it comes to money.**
A question comes out in my mind with regards to this statement.
***"DOES MONEY CHANGES A PERSON OR DOES MONEY REVEALS A PERSON'S REAL PERSONALITY WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY?"***
In my opinion, both will be possible. We may not know a persons real nature even though we have known them for a long period of time. Money will be a game changer, jusy like humans who has the capacity to change over a period time.
The only person who can answer if did money changed them or if it only revealed who they truly are. Because we normally know on how we see money, no one but ourselves.
Some people would also tells, "If you want to know the person well, lend your money to him / her." Because they say, if that person really respects you, he / she will return the money that he / she borrowed on or before the date you both settled.
**4. You can see who your true friends are if you have no money**
**Does money affect friendship?**
We can not deny the fact that some people are only around us if we have money but if we are broke, just like our money, they are also gone.
We can see who our true friends are when we have nothing, you can see that they are really true to you because they are still there for you even though you do not have money, and that's one kind of a purest kind of friendship.
Avoid those people who are gold digger, there are lots of them. So if you want to know who will always be there for you, do not tell them or do not show or do not give them a hint that you have lots of money, keep it lowkey.
You can finally say that someone is really your friend when whether you have money or not, they will always stick around you.
Let me share to you a sentence that I recently read online, it says: ***"If you want to keep a friend, do not lend money to them"***
In some case, I agree with this but there's a part of me that sometimes it isn't applicable. I agree in a way that, yes! We all know that some friendships were destroyed just because of money, just because the other person lent the other person a money and that specific friend did not paid it on time. On the other hand, if you know if you're friend really need some money and has a credibility of paying debts on time, maybe it is just good to let them borrow your money. Other friendship were also destroyed when the other friend do not want to lend money on his / her friend, so everything is really on a case to case basis.
****** Money is important, learn to appreciate each cents that you have. Just do not use them on bad things.*****

Graduates: Welcome To Adulthood
Another school year is now about to end and a lot of fresh graduates will now undergo what we so called "Job Hunting"
After graduating, the first thing a fresh graduate will ponder upon is about being employed. Prepares his / her curriculum vitae attached with a presentable cover letter ready for job hunting.
Lucky enough are those people who are not required to have a job right after they graduate and that they can still have time to take a break and just relax. But some people, most especially those bread winners in their family got no choice but to do the job hunting right away. But if you can afford not to find a job right after yoy graduate, then good for you because you still have a lot of time to think on what career you really want.
Once you start working, your time to yourself will surely be lessen so make sure that your body and mind are already completely set-up once you have your job. So as much as possible, give yourself some "me time", do everything that you know you will not be able to do once you started working.
**Tips on finding careers.**
**1. Apply for a job that you have passion with**
Carefully think of what career you really want to possess because as what they usually say, "choose a job that you really love so that once you started working you will not be able to feel like you are working since you love / enjoy what you are doing"
Lots of people have a work that does not jive with what degree they finished in college or it is also known as "changing of career" and then people around you will question if why did you chose that and do not want to apply what you have learned during college. Never mind what those kind of people will say about you because it is you who will do the work and not them.
**2. Identify what your likes or dislikes are in choosing your career**
But there are people who still can not decide on what they really want. First, maybe you may not know what you want but I am pretty sure that you are always aware of things that you do not want. So if that career or job you are applying to is not categorized as you do not want, so why not give it a try even though it is something like you do not really like.
Do not be afraid to go out of your comfort zone, you may feel like you started working on the wrong company but it will always just be on the beginning. It is not the right time for you to quit your job but it is the best time to know yourself better. Treat this first job as a learning experience to know yourself better.
Somewhere along the line, you may realize that you are not enjoying your job but consider this one as a challenge, always be open to new challenges.
**3. Keep in mind that there is no perfect job**
Young adults nowadays are very impatient, want something as soon as possible or wanted results right away without going through the step by step process. Remember that, great things take their time. Millennial nowadays are fond of job hopping, yes job hopping not job hunting, there is are lot of difference between the two. Job hunting refers to the process of applying for a several jobs while job hopping is leaving their current job to find a new job and so on.
Millenials easily quits their job when something not good is present in the company they are working. But remember thay difficult times will make us a better person so consider things to have a good impact in our lives.
Sometimes, when you are not enjoying what you want, you sometimes question yourself as "should I stay in this job?, Or am I on the right company?
There are lots of reason why an employee may quit their job. Some because of problems, they do not enjoy that job that they want, low salary, benefits, boss and coworkers.
Just like in the company I am working for. Last July 16, three new employees were newly hired, that was friday. And when the monday comes, the two of them did not attend for work and heard the news that this two man already talked to their boss that they will not be attending work on monday, the day they talked to their boss is the same day they started in the company. A co-workers talled me that one of their reason why they decided to quit is because of the salary.
Some people quits their job because of the boss. Yes, the job, taks may be easily but once your boss has this kind of bad attitude, no one will really stay to that boss of yours. People quit not because of their job but because of a co-workres attitude, I heard lots of stories like this. Employees do not stay because of the job but because they have a good boss.
They say, having a good boss will result to the company's success, so if you have a good boss, think twice about quitting your job and when you are a boss and is reading this article, be a good example to your subordinates. Some of your employees are still with you because of you, so take good care of your employees too not only with youe customers.
There will never be a perfect job, if there is why do employees from different companies resigns? It is always a matter of what your passion is, people have different tastes when it comes to their passion. Before you quit your job, make sure there will be no turning back.
Always choose something that you love, I promise you that it will be worth it.
Are You A Breadwinner?
June 25, 2022
**Who is a breadwinner?**
A breadwinner is someone who supports a family whem it comes to finances or the needs of the family.
**Is someone out there pondering if why is it called "BREADWINNER"?**
It is called breadwinner because back then, bread is the staple food of the people. That is why a person who supports the family is called ***BREADWINNER***
Hi there, if you are a breadwinner, I have a question for you:
Are there times when you feel like giving up because your obligations in your family is too heavy?
If yes, I have a message for you:
I want to congratulate you because you choose to help your family even before you choose yourself. You have sacrificed a lot, that sometimes you forgot to take good care of yourself. You want to become a good father / mother / sister / brother or whatever role you have in your family.
To all breadwinners out there, I want you to know that:
**You are doing a great job**
Just in case your family are not saying this to you, please keep that in mind. It is never easy to become a breadwinner and there will be moments in your life that you feel that you are alone, that you have lots of responsibility but then there you are, still doing everything for the sake of your family. It takes a lot of love, sacrifice and courage to do what you are doing.
**Be proud of yourself**
There maybe sometimes that you thought about giving up and planning about just for yourself but there you are again, not giving up and just keep on doing the things you know will make you support your family. And with this, you must be proud of yourself. You are considered the most selfless person here on earth.
**It is okay not to be okay sometimes**
There will be times that you will be frustrated and you will start to compare your life to others and that will lead you to feel jealous on them. It is okay to cry when you feel exhausted. You can rest when you feel tired and feel like you can no longer do it.
It is okay to let our emotions out because after it, it will give you some relief because you are able to express out your emotions.
**Your hardwork will be rewarded**
Believe and have faith that all your sacrifices will be paid off. Always remember that regardless of what you are going through right now, there will be good things that will happen later. You will reap what you sow. Just do not give, I promise you that it will all be worth it.
**Do not forget to take care of yourself**
While thinking that your family is special to you, do not forget that you are special too. We only have one life, do not abuse it. Even though there are times that you are busy, always find time for yourself.
Always eat on the right time, be physically fit. Why? Because you need to be healthy for you to accumulate more strength because you need that to continue the things you need to do in supporting your family. Your family will be affected if you are not feeling well and unable to go to work. Remember that, without you, how will be your family?
If you are a breadwinner, learn to look after yourself too since if you did not take care of yourself, how will your familily situation be look at? You are their provider, be healthy and always take care of yourself.
* Being a breadwinner holds so much pressure in his/ her side because his / her family has high expectations on him / her to have the capability to support his/ her family with their needs most especially when it comes to finances.
For a breadwinner, they always think that every peso counts. And sometimes, they choose not to buy something for themselves when it is not a not a necessity because he / she knows that he / she must save lots of monet to provide for his / her family. A breadwinner sometimes or most of the time feels guilty in spending money for himself / herself first in buying what he / she wants.
A breadwinner is a very responsible person because instead of choosing himself / herself first, he / she chose to look after his / her family first.
The family of a breadwinner expects too much on him / her that is why he / she is always pressured.
Here's a little advice for people who have breadwinners in the family:
For the family of a breadwinner, do not ask too much on them, if you know you are capable of helping in the house or has now the capability of earning, better choose to help your breadwinner so that the pressure he / has will be lessen. Remember that, every person has their own life too, he / she has their own needs.
Being a breadwinner is never easy but once they see the outcome of their sacrifices, it will all be worth it.
Just keep on going, your sacrifices will be paid off sooner or later.
PS: I am not a breadwinner, I give money for my parents sometimes but I am not required to do so. I am just lucky for my parents to have them by my side and give us (me and my siblings) everything we need.
Is Passive Income Important?
June 23, 2022
Before I start my discussion, let me define first if what does it mean when we say PASSIVE INCOME.
**Passive Income** - is an inflow money in which we did not made so much effort to earn it. It is one way of letting our money work for us. The beauty of this kind of earning system is, it requires us just a little effort to make money. A passive income's goal is earning money even while we are sleeping.
Some ordinary people will find it somehow unrealistic and may even doubt like as if they do not know that this scenarios do exist.
**What are the sources of passive income?**
There are lots of way in which we can earn money just by doing nothing.
Here are some:
**1. Bonds**
Investing in financial instruments such as bonds will let you earn money.
Financial Instruments such as bonds, protect our initial investment and may offer good interest rates.
**2. Investing in Stocks**
Investing stocks may not always guarante you to make earnings. There maybe profits but it is not 100% guaranted.
In trading, there is also good timing. Do not just buy and sell all you want to do. If you really want to have this kind of passive income, first you must simply educate yousrself in this kind of passive income.
It may take sometime for you to fully understand the process of trading but when you finally understood, it will be a great help in achieving your financial goals.
Investing in stocks does not mean you need to trade everyday since trading everyday is considered active income.
Trading will only be classified as passive income when you bought stocks and hold it for a long period of time because you believe that in the future, the value will go up.
**3.Business**
Putting up a business and hiring people to work for you is another kind of passive income. You are earning because your people works for you.
But putting up a business may result to loss or profit. That is why before you put up a business, make sure that it will become profitable and your costumers will love your products.
Make sure that the products that you are going to sell in your business is really that something worth purchasing for. The progress of the business really depends on the product and the service so make sure to hire someone with good morals and right conduct.
**4.Copy Trading**
If trading is classified as active income, copy trading is the opposite.
Copy traders will only deposit money in their account then do some process and then copy a trader whom they think is really with a good trading trends.
I guess there are a lot of platform that allows us to copy a trader. But when copying a trader, we must be really careful in choosing one because their are only two options that will happen to you in the end, it is a battle between gaining or losing.
It is better to copy a trader whom you really know or somewhat you have communication with. It is of great opportunities if you know that person personally because you know your money will really gain.
***I, myself have a passive income and it falls under copy trading. I do not know personally the trader I am copying but the one who invited me in the platform knows him and we also have a group chat in messenger in which he keeps us updated. And his trades are really with good outcome. The trader always tells us that we just have to keep calm whenever the open trades are not yet profitable. He will not close a trade if it is not yet profitable.***
**Why is passive income important?**
We do not always know what will happen to us in the future. We are not healthy everyday. If we got sick, there are instances wherein we can not manage to go to work. And if your job is your only source of income then during those times you have no salary. And if we got sick, sometimes we need not just one day but 2 to 3 days to finish it.
We should not always rely on our earnings in our job. Imagine a table with only one feet on the center and a table with four feet. Let the feet be the source of our income, if the table with only one feet got destroy, what will happen?, There will be no longer support and everything will breakdown. But if we have different sources of income, in a four- legged table, if one was destroy, the table did not collapse totally because there are still three feet holding it. Just like our money, if for example we lost our job but good thing is we have investments or business then we are still capable of buying necessities for our living.
What I am trying to say is, if you have seen opportunites to earn, grab it. Our earnings in our job maybe capable of getting what we need but it is beyond okay if we have other sources of income.
If there are still some things you know which is an example of passive income, feel free to comment below.
Father's Day
June 19, 2022
Every third Sunday for the month of June is a special day for all the father out there. Yes, because we are celebrating "Father's Day"
A father's role in our life is that he is our provider. A provider when it comes to our financial needs, material things and many more.
Filipinos is describe the fathers as "*haligi ng tahanan*" because they are the one who's capable in making the family in tact and provide stability.
I admire my father so much because he was able to send us ( siblings ) in school and we are now graduate. It is difficult to earn money, yes I know it because I am already working and sometimes I just can not imagine that my parents managed us ( siblings ) to finish our studies. I am working and I have my own money but with the money that I have, it can only be able to consume by not more than three people. That is why I admire them for giving us the opportunity to finish our studies.
I will not be in my place right now without my father ( and of course with my mother ). I really believe that a parent will do everything / anything to provide the needs of the family.
I love my father so much, I am a "papa's girl" but I also love my mother, I love them both. Everytime I leave the house / go home in our house, he always kisses me on my forehead no matter what my age is. Ever since I am still a kid, that is what he 's doing. And also when he arrives from work, he does this and I find it sweet because not all father do this to his daughter. I am lucky to have them.
To all the children out there, greeting your father a "Happy Father's Day" will already make his day even though there are no gifts, cakes, letters or anything. Just those three words will now make them happy. So, do not let this day end without greeting them a "Happt Father's Day"
**How will we celebrate Father's Day?**
Yesterday, before going home. I went in a bakery to buy a cake for my father. I did not spend that much because I have won a gift certificate last December in the company I am working worth Php500.00
It is nice that the gift certificate has no expiration date, and that is why I finally decided to use it.
The cakes they are selling in pricey. The round cakes' price starts from Php.700.00. Only one cake is left with that kind of price and I want the cake to have a theme of father's day, luckily they have lots of available cake but it is expensive and it costs Php750.00. I already decided to purchase it even though the price is expensive since I will be only paying Php250.00 since I have a gift certicifate.
The cake is not that big and not that small, it is only just the average. The flavor is carrot, I do not know if it's a perfect idea that I bought it because all the cake themed as "father's day cake" flavor is just the carrot. Since it is pricey, I hope that it taste good. We still did not eat it because it will be served later on merienda.
My mother will also prepare some food so that we will have some choices to eat it later.
I am planning to make spaghetti but then we have no longer time to prepare for it. So we will just buy grilled chicken later for our dinner. It is just sad that we are not complete today since our older brother is far away from us because of his work but hoping that next time we will be complete in celebrating celebrations like this.
For the children out there, make your father feel special this day. They deserve it, after all the sacrifices that they had done for us. But let us remind ourselves that it should not only be today that we will make them feel special because it should be done everyday, just treat them with a very extra special treatment this day. Ask them out, eat meal with the family outside. If you can afford to buy something for them, then do it. They will not forget the simple acts that we are doing to them.
To all the father's out there, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. Have a blast and enjoy your day.
Distance Does Not Matter
June 14, 2022
A lot of people wants to be in a relationship with someone who is just near to them, someone who can be with them physically when they need them.
Yes, we all want that type of relationship in which we can always meet up with them anytime and it is funny if there will be a person who will always be happy when someone he / she love is far away from him / her.
If you are going to ask me if am I in a long distance relationship because of my topic, the answer is yes. Both residing in the Philippines but with different province. We are 4-hour away ride from each other.
He has a motorcycle and he always want that during his restday, we should be together. He only have one day restday in a week but chooses to spend it with me. Every week, he travels just for him to be with me. Whenever he says that he will come in my place during his restday because he wants to be with me, I always tell to him that he is "clingy" and he smiles / laugh.
He already made his schedule that every restday, he will come to me. Sometimes, I ask him "Are you feeling tired because instead of having a rest in your house, you chose to travel for four hours just to be with me" and he always answer that he is not feeling tired, and even added, " I feel more tired if I am only in my house"
When the prices of gas / diesel went up, it's as if he's not affected since even though the prices went up, it did not stopped him from travelling every weekend just to be with me. Some of you might say, "Sana all" but when it comes to sacrifices being made by both of the couple, it is not that easy.
I've always wish that I would have someone with whom I want to be with him whenever I wanted to but I am not lucky to have this kind of situation but I can also consider myself as a lucky person because I have someone (except my family) who can consider that I am precious.
Loving someone is good but the feeling of being loved by someone you also love is beyond blessed.
I admire those people who are really miles away from each other but still chooses each other to be their other half, with them comes with sacrifices because no matter how much they wanted to be together, it just can not be unlike with what I have that I can just bear it for a couple of days not seeing the one I love becasue I know that after how many days, we can meet again, unlike some persons that it is not only days, weeks o months that they are counting but for how many years to be together again.
Love is patient - sometimes we need to endure all the pain that we are feeling with the thoughts that someday our hardworks will be paid off.
If there are stories wherein long distance relationship worked, there are also stories in which the other person chose to end the relationship (long distance relationship) with someone who is just near them.
Sometimes, I can not help but to imagine on how is the feeling of just having an easy access to be with someone they love when they just want to be with them. I feel envious sometimes to couples who have this kind of relationship.
One challenge of couples in a long distance relationship is, they can not celebrate their monthsaries together and even worst - they can not celebrate their anniversaries together. It does not mean that they do not want to celebrate it but because no matter how much they wanted to, it can not be because of the distance between them.
Another challenge in a long distance relationship is also, it is difficult to clean up their mess ( fights etc.) when they are not together. It is difficult to make "lambing" over videocalls, text, calls just to be okay again after argument.
But one thing is for sure about and please keep this in mind; "when someone really loves you, no matter how far or close you are together, when you really both love each other, love will never ends. You may have arguments but it is only upto that, no break-ups only make-ups.
It is not that I am telling you that you need someone who is really from far away to test if they really like you or not but it is found in small things to see if they will fit wih you or not.
***Distance are only gaps we need to bear for a period of time but after those sacrifices, it comes great happiness when you see each other again.***
Choosing Your Career
Hi guys, how are you? I didn't able to write articles for the past few days since I was busy in my work and have no time to compose an article.
Moving ups and graduation is celebrated anywhere here in the Philippines. Graduation will not mean that you are already done with your goals. Our goals should consists of having a dream job and practicing it in the real world.
Enrollments are now on going this time, so I decided to make article regarding this one.
Entering in college / university is never been easy because it is the stage wherein your future relies on.
The pressure is on in this stage, whatever your decision / step you are making today will really have a great impact on your future so take an extra care for every move that you make. Lots of challenges will come along the way.
When we are still a kid, we thought that the only goal we need to make is to finish our studies but right after graduating in college, that is the moment we are entering in a real world. That we realized that after finishing school, the battle has just began.
But before entering in college and getting your bachelor's degree, thinking about what course you are going to make is never a joke, never a trial and error, you really need to evaluate yourself on where you are good at or what / where is your passion? Because majority of people, their future job will depend on what job fits you in regards of your degree.
When choosing what course you will take, in the Philippines there is an exam wherein the result will let you know on where you are good at, it will then be a guide for you on which course will you take. Take note, that the result only serves as a guide and at the end of the day or before you enter college, it will always be you who will decide on what will you take.
**DO'S AND DON'TS WHEN ENTERING IN COLLEGE**
**1. Never let someone decide on what course you are going to take.**
First of all, it is always you who will go to school. You are the one who will study, not them. And to whatever your future is, it will always depend on you, not on other. ( Lucky are those whose parents do not dictate on what are you going to take, lucky are you with whom if your parents choice is the same as you want.) Yes, it may be your parents who will support you in your financial needs but they are not the one who will study, so lucky are you if your parents will let you choose on your course and not them.
As for my experience, my parents let me choose what course I want to take in college. At first, it is them whom I am asking if what course they like for me to take but they did not agree. In the end, the decision is always on me.
**2. Never let someone decide on what course you will take**
Your future depends on what course you will take. Though there are a lot of people who changes their career but only a few do this. Choose something in which you have great interests with because I remember my professor once told us that, "choose something you enjoy doing that to the extent that you will not feel like you are working" Enjoying something you really want to do will make your life stressful.
As for me, story time ( Way back 2010, I was in fourth year highschool back then. The course I really wanted to take is Accountancy but here is my friend explaining to me why Accountancy is not that good and _________ is better than it. I was conviced with her explanations and I also take the course she chose. But in the end, I really didn't regret because it is also a little same with the course I want.
My point here is that, yes you can listen to them but at the end of the day it is always still you who will decide which path to take. And make sure that you will not regret on it because if you let someone choose on what course you will be taking, you will end up blaming them if problems will arise and it is always you who will be blamed if there will be one.
**3. Study well**
Remember that the money your parents are spending in your tuitions, daily allowances are their hard earned money. Every peso counts. Always be good in your academics, just give your parents reasons on why they should work hard more because of you. Having a good grades are already enough for their hardships in work be worth it.
Studying is never easy most especially when you are now dealing with your majotlr subjects. You may have some low grades but not to the extent that you will fail. But if you fail, as long you know you did your best then you will have no regrets but promise yourself to be better the second time around.
**4. Save**
Do not spend all your money in buying things which are not related or you do not need in studying. Help your parents by not spending all your allowance in something not worth it especially if your know that you are not financially stable but if financially stable, you can also save if you want to.
**5. Be careful on choosing who will be your friends**
Your companions will also give an impact on your future. As the saying goes, "when you are with a circle of friend who are studious, then most likely you will aslo become studious but when you are in a circle of friends who are lazy, bad influence then you have a great possibility to become just like them. So you must choose carefully.
***Studying will never be easy, the pressure is on. There are a lot of sleepless nights you have to deal with but always remember, you will reap what your sowed. Just always do your best. Take a break if tired, yes you need to recharge, do not quit. Only stop when you are done.***
Budget Your Money
****June 2, 2022****
Hi guys, good morning I am little bit sleepy now but I want to make an article right now that is why I decided to make thid for my sleepiness to sudside and hoping that it will wipe away my sleepiness. Haha. Lol.
This is my first article in June, I did not able to make one yesterday since I am busy in my fieldwork.
Have you heard about "The 50/30/20 Rule" in finance? If you are a business administration student or graduate or if you have a bit interest when it comes to finances then maybe you have heard about this.
**What is 50/30/20 Rule?**
The 50/30/20 rule is the proper allocation of your money. If you add 50,30 and 20, the sum is 100, it is talking about the whole of your money.
**What is the 50%?**
The 50% is for our needs.
Needs which are the regular living expenses like groceries, housing (if renting or planning to have a house if still living with the parents), health insurance, utilities such as electricity and water. And anything which you know that you should have in order to live.
**What is the 30%**
The 30% is for our wants, some examples are listed below:
S**hopping**
Lots of people are addicted to shopping most particularly with online shopping like Shopee and Lazada. I admit it, I was once a person who buys things online that are not really necessary but still chooses to buy just because I want it. Now, I am no longer the person who buys things that I want online because I have this mindset that I will only spend money on necessary things.
**Eating outside**
Though we considered food as basic necessity, we can not deny the fact that eating in a restaurant is pricey compared when you are the one who prepares your meal at home. Though sometimes, it is easier to buy or eat outside compared to preparing and cooking your food because it may be tiring, it is still best when you are the one preparing your food.
**Owning a car**
Having your own car is very convenient because you can go wherever and whenever you want. It is very convenient but it is really pricey.
If your job requires you to have your own service, then having your own car is a need but most of the time, lots of people can live even without having their own cars because there are a lot of public transportation where you can just commute. Commuting nowadays is the best thing a person who owns a car can do due to what's happening in our country where the price of gasoline and deisel keeps on going up.
Yes, it is okay to have shopping sometimes, eating outside as long as you do not usually do this in a regular basis because this might be the reason if you will end up having no savings at all. And it is okay to have all the wants that you have if you have an extra money for it.

**Difference between NEEDS and WANTS**
**Needs** are the things that we must have in order to survive / something that we can not literally live without.
**Wants** are the things that is something we desire but we can live without. In other words, they are not necesarry things because without it, we can still live.
**What is the 20%**
The 20% consist of savings and paying off debts
**Emergency funds**
Emergency funds are considered savings. Emergency funds must consist of 6 months to 12 months of living expenses.
Emergency fund is computed as monthly living expense multiply by 6 to 12 months.
**Paying off debts**
Paying debts slowly and having no debts at all is an achivement. Start paying off your debts first before starting to save or you may start from both of them.
*When it comes to expenses, the best formula will be, expenses = net income less savings and savings is not supposed to be, savings = net income less expenses.
We should discipline ourselves to atleast save only a little bit of your money every payday because saving is really important in our lives.
Saving little by little as long as you are consistent will give you a very good result. Little steps are okay as long as you are careful than having a bigger steps from the start but keeps on falling / failing because of wrong decisions.
From now on, let's start educating ourselves on how to save, budget our money well in order to be financially free. And someday you will be proud of yourself because you start saving early.
Savings are important because you will never know what will happen in the future just like what happened to us last 2020 where lots of people lost their job because of Covid19.
Having Crypto in Our Life
May 30, 2022
How are you guys? It's the second to the last day for this month. It is also our second to the last day to hustle for our monthly goals and have some trackings on how much did they earn for the whole month.
During the time when I am still new, I always ended up converting all my earnings to Philippine peso. Yes, I may be accumulating them but it is just easy for me to convert them even when the market is down. All I know is that atleast I had them for free that even though the market is down, most important thing is that I earned.
I may be accumulating them but when I see that it price went up (but not that much) atleast with a percentage of 10 to 20, I can not help but to sell my holdings because sometimes I fear that the price will suddenly go down.
Being into crypto makes us / drives us crazy. Sometimes when the market is down, we all worry that what if the price will no longer be back and others are happy when the market is down since that is the best time to buy ( for those who have extra moneys) Well, those who are only happy when the market is bearish are those people who have lots of budget in buying the DIP (deacrease in price) but for those who do not have, then all they can do is to wait for the price to go up (right above to the price that they bought.
Some people somehow can relate with this:
Situation: When the market is bearish, some people are wishing for the price to go up but once the price pumped / went up, that is the time when their heart beats faster than usual, that they already do not know on what to do, whether will sell it already or will still wait becasue of the possibility that the price willl still be the same or almost close.
Trading crypto is fun not until when the time that the market is not in favor with your trade which will result in your losses ( paper loss )
I still remember the moment when I startesld trading. I can not help but to always wanted to see the price of the coin that I bought. I always look at my phone from time to time because all I want that time is to completelt monitors its movement.
Crypto is highly volatile, I do not have any expeirences in trading and I even have guts to trade this. One of the person I know asked me if I am already sure to trade crypto and even told me to think twice becuase of its high volatility. As of now, I am hodling the coins that I own since we all know that the prices of crypto is always going down.
For those who are trading whether it is stocks, crypto or forex, hoping that someday that we will have our so called "financial feedom".
I Will Not Let "Them" Borrow Money From Me Again
May 29, 2022
Money plays an important role in our life. It acts as a medium of exchange in order for us to get / buy what we need and what we want.
Some people say that they do not need money for them to be happy but practically speaking, that without money, it is very difficult for us to survive.
Without money, we can not be able to buy necessities in our lives like our food, water,clothings etc.
Having some savings also can save us when there will be emergencies.
Since money plays an important role in our life, I always see to it that I have extra money in my bank account that in case I will need some money, I am assured that I can have it right away, as the saying goes, "Pag may isinuksok, may madudukot"in Filipino. In English, it is something like, when you save something, you are pretty sure that you can have it anytime you need it.
Being ready is better than notnot sure if you still have money when you finally need it.
But sad thing is, there are still a lot of people who does not know the real value of saving. Some people tend to spend almost all of the money that they have, like as if there is no longer tomorrow.
We, who knows the value of saving or those people who are well disciplined enough to have savings can not ignore the fact that there will be people who will ask some favor to us to lend them our money.
Yes, I have friends who borrows money from me, I have this experience where this friend of mine borrowed from me for the first time, and since she is my friend, I let her borrow my money, since as what she told me, she really need that money.
Before letting her borrow my money, I asked first if when will she pay what she borrowed, she told my an exact date and since the settled due date that she gave is just okay with me, that is the time I gave money.
Letting my friend decide the due date is just okay with me because there will be no alibi's, for her not to settle her payment on her.
Few days before the settled date, my friend talked to me and is asking if is it okay to delay the payment (rice & ulam). Since I do not still need the money, I told her that it's okay.
She gave me again maturity date on her debts. There, the maturity date has come but then, my friend did not make payments on it.
I got disappointed because what my friend is telling me is not what she's doing. She failed again to pay my money. And I think that she only says the date if when will she pay but she already know for sure that she can not make it on the date that she settles.
There are moments in which, those who let their money be borrowed are not not being paid during the said time, so be very careful who you lend your money.
It saddens me because there are scenarios wherein, the lendee ends up having nothing because the lender fails to pay her debt.
Then last week, that friend of mine message me, asking if she can borrow money from me, I immediately told her that I do not have extra money even though I have the capability to lend her again some money but the trust that I have for her is no longer there. She broke it.
I never let my friend borrow money form me, it is not being selfish but I do not want to happen what happened the last she was not able to pay it.
If only she paid me the first time she borrowed from me, then she might be happy because I let her borrowed my money again.
It is not just with one person that I experienced this, I also have one friend who borrowed money for me for the first time, same process - ask him if when will he pay it then when it is okay for me, I give him the money he borrowed.
When the maturity date is reached, he never contacted me, I was the one who initiate the conversation. I messaged him, but suddenly he told me that he has no money that time. I am mad at him, because it is not already my fault if he does not have money, all I want is his payment but then I can not do anything to have it back since he does not have money. Months passed, maybe a two or a three for him to finally paid his debt. This happened last year.
Then last month, he is borrowing money again from me. Since I do not want to happen again what happened last year, I told him right away that I can not lend my money anymore because he is that difficult to repay his debts, then after that, he did no longer talked to me to let him borrow my money.
Final thoughts:
For those who have debts, make it a habit to pay it everytime you have the chance to because it is not only the money thar is involve here but the relationship (trust, respect) you have between the two of you.
Be a person with word of honor. As much ad possible, walk your talk so that people will believe in you, never give them reasons not to believe in your words in the future.
It is easier to build trust rather than fixing it back, always remember that.
It's Okay To Not Be Okay
May 28, 2022
I am pretty sure that almost all of you who are reading my article are almost familiar with that line. Maybe because it seems to be similar with a famous kdrama series or maybe some of you watched it already, but for me?, I didn't. I am no longer watching kdramas often.
Back to th e topic. May I just ask you, are you okay right now? If yes, then good for you. If your answer is no, what is the reason behind if why are you not okay?
Like what the title says, it is okay to not be okay sometimes but not all the time. There are really moments in life that the universe is against us. Life is really like a wheel, sometimes you are at the top but sometimes you are down.
How may times did you fake your smile just to show other people that you are okay even when it is not? Faking feelings are difficult to do, imagine you are smiling but deep inside is, all you wanna do is cry? Trying your tears not to fall out in public is a difficult kind to do but some of us managed on how to do it.
Here's my message for the people who are having a hard time nowadays:
If you are having dark days this past few days or even a week, it is okay. It is okay to feel that darkness. If you are going through a financial problem right now, if you are going through an illness right now or any form of suffering right now, you will overcome that someday, you just have to help yourself to get out with that kind of situation that you have now.
No one can really help you out except yourself. Yes, you have your family, you have your friends to help you out or they maybe there to make you feel loved but if you can not help yourself out of it, then you can not overcome it. You have always two choices whether you will play a victim or you will do something to get out for you to be able to make you braver / wiser.
Familiar with the song LET HER GO by Passenger, with the lyrics of:
"Well you only need the light
when it's burning low
only miss the sun
when it starts to snow
only know you love her
when you let her go"
Pain will always be there because life comprises pain, joy. We can not appreciate on how great it feels like when we are happy without us experiencing sadness / pain. That verses of the song says it all. We onlh know the value of something when we already experiencing the opposite of it.
Being in a situations of suffering is a choice. There will always be a solution in every problem but if you were stuck with situations that are not good, maybe the problem is in you not with whatever you want to blame if why are you in that kind of situation.
Let yourself heal if you are broken. It may take some time but once you are done with it, it will be worth it.
Each one of us are dealing into something which we do not want to tell to someone, we always wanted to keep those in our self. That alone is being courageous because you do nor want others know if what are you up to or you may simply do not want to ask help for them that is why you are not trying to open up to. But on the other side, for my own opinion, it is also okay to tell even for one person only (someone you are comfortable with) to share it what's bothering you, in that way, atleast your pain or whatever you are feeling will give you some relief. Atleast you somehow find a way to release what's going on with you.
Help yourself. But just do not force yourself to be okay right away. Feel the pain until it hurts no more as they say because the more you force yourself to be okay right away, that may even contribute to the reason on why your healing may delay. Or it will always be your choice on what to do in order to help yourself overcome difficult situations.
If you are victimized by your thoughts then you are probably victimized by your past. Do not let your memories use you.
We have to think that what may be happening to us is not a punishment but rather an opportunity.
Use yout pain as an influence to your growth, so embrace that darkness. Never run away with your situation, I know it is painful, but I promise you, five years or even ten years from now, when you look back with your situation right now, you will just smile / laugh at it.
For those who are not okay right now, you will definitely get out with your current situation right now. You just have to help yourself. Nothing is really imposible when you believe in it.
Everyone or almost all of us is going through something but chose not to share it to others, that is why, I want to say that, we always have to chose to be kind, we may not know what others maybe dealing with but being kind to persons / even with strangers means a lot for us / them.
Field Work
May 27, 2022
Do you love travelling in a nice places?
Of course everyones loves to travel to see something different.
If you are going to ask me if I love travelling, oh yes, defenitely but the problem is I do not have money or should I say, I have money but travelling is not included in my budget. It's not that I do not want to spend money on travelling but there are more important things that I need to attend to.
**Why will I go to Laoag City?**
I will go there because of my job.
**My thoughts on travelling while working**
Travelling while working is fun, you can go to any places being paid by the company you are working with. All expense will be shouldered by the company, hotel, food and transportation.
Though we can not really roam around in the place but at least we have the chance to go to places once in a while to see the beauty of the place.
It is now my first time to go to Laoag City. The first time I went there, if I am not mistaken,it is last 2016, so basically after 6 six I will be back soon.
We all know that since pandemic happened, travelling to places if prohibited to reduce the transmission of the virus. So basically, the yearly physical count was suspended for the year 2020 until year 2021 but since this year 2022, the government is not that strict anymore when it comes to travelling, after 2 years we can finally go back to our field work.
**What wil I do there?**
For those who do not know, I am working in a well known drug store here in the North, and I am working in the head office in the Accounting Department.
We have lots of branches in the North, it is more than 100 but not exceeding to 120.
To ensure the correctness of the inventory of each stocks, the company conducts a yearly physical count in every branches.
**Why do we need to visit the branches when there are already branch personnels who may be able to do it?**
The administration has come up with a desicion that is should not always be the branch who will do the physical count but it should also consist of personnels in the office so that whatever the results of the physical count, there will be no hesitations.
Almost all of us (me and my workmates) always want to be notified if when will be the schedule for Baguio City, because who would not love to go there right since Baguio City is a well known place.
I also want to join if ever but suddenly our officer told me to be the one who is inchaege on the office since we should see to it that someone will be left in every department in our office. I was quite sad since I was the one being chosen to take over but then our officer told me that "Dibale, ikaw isasama ko next week sa Laoag" The moment she told me that one, I am happy and excited to be there again.
Tomorrow, March 27 is now the schedule for Baguio City, 20 participants from head office will be going there tomorrow using 2 vans ( company car) and all I can say right now is "sana all" lol. Kidding aside, since I already spent my 4years in Baguio City, it is just really okay for me not to be in the group since I already had my chance last year to be a participant in the physical count in Baguio City and I can still have many chances to go there everytime I want since public utility vehicles are now allowed to enter the city. And of course, even though I can not go there in Baguio, I can again get the chance to go to Laoag City in which lots of my workmates want to there too but sad to say it is just limited and only selected employees will be able to get there, maybe around 10 employees only because one van will only be used.
We will go there next week by Wednesday (travel day) and I just do not know if when will we be back since the schedule of going home is not yet being decided on. We have 4 branches in Laoag City and 1 branch in Batac City. And per day we need to count 2 branches. And if that will be the case, I guess, it is more likely that we will go home in Saturday.
I've been to Paoay Church and we had a group picture there.
The last time we went there, the car that we used was only FB100 (company car) it is like you are riding in a jeep and it is not that comfortable but now luckily I can now experience travelling a long ride with a more comfortable ambiance since the company will be letting us use the van, also a company car. Luckily that they bought a van for us employees to use when there are field works.
Yearly, the company is going to each branches, year 2017, 2018 and 2019 I was not included in the list of participants on far places to give chances to others and this year 2022 is quite a lucky year for me since our officer already told me that I will be one of the participants to join the physical count in far places like Abra and also Ilocos Sur and for sure of only our branches in Cagayan and Isabela was not closed, I will surely can go there again but sad to say I can't already. But alteast last 2016, I already had the chance to go to Tugegarao City, Cagayan and Santiago City, Isabela.
Can't wait for Wednesday next week to be able to go to Laoag City again.
Check These Before You Lend Your Money to Someone
May 24, 2022
Hi guys, good evening. I am not feeling well tonight, I have a headache but here I am trying to grind. Well, I guess this headache won't stop me from achieving my goals.
Are you allowing someone to lend money from you? Or if not,are you the person who borrows money from others?
If you are the one whom other people borrows money from, what are the qualities that you consider before you let your money be borrowed by others?
Lending your money to other people is not that easy thing to do even if you have money.
Before you let your money be borrowed, check the 5C's in Credit.
Have you heard / encountered this 5 C's of Credit?, Well, if you are a business ad student, for sure you will tackle this topic.
Ps: I will not be able to discuss all but let me just explain the 2 or 3 of the 5C's, namely capacity, character, collateral, conditon and capital.
**Capacity**
Before you lend your money to someone, make sure that your lendee has the capabibility to pay what he / she borrowed. Look if that person has a source of income. Make some little investigation if that person has a habit of paying your money on the right time. Or know if that person has a lot of debts to anyone.
**Character**
Always see to it if the person possess a good review when it comes on paying debts. Make also investigations if that person knows how to handle money well. If that person is "magastos" think twice or thrice before letting him / her lend your money.
See to it also if what is really the purpose on why he / she is borrowing money. If he / she told you that it is for emergency, there might be a high possibility that you will let them but if his / her purpose is on buying things that are not necessary, then that's red flag.
If his / her purpose on borrowing is for him / her to repay her debts to someone before, then there is a great possibility that what he / she is going to pay you is a money that is again borrored by her on someone.
**Collateral**
If the money that is going to be borrowed is a huge amount of money then you should first set is the collateral.
A collateral is very important beside from having your lendee appoint a guarantor because if the money is not being paid, the lender will somehow use the collateral as a payment of the debt.
ps: I will just explain to you the three c's, I can no longer explain the rest.
**Why did I come up with this topic?**
**Story time:**
I have a friend in where I am working now who once borrow money from me, at first I was hesitant, I do not know why but I just do not feel to borrow money from me. But then, after some moments of thinking, I let her borrow my money. She is the one who set the date on when she will be paying her debt. I just agreed. When the maturity of her borrowed money has already reach, sadly! She told me that she may not be able to pay her debts since she's running away from cash and she's a eldest in them. So she was also the one who set the date agaim but them she did not kept her words. "Walang isang salita"
It was about months when finally she paid her debt and the moment she handled me the money, I promiesd myself for not letting her borrow again monet from her.
Months passed, she them told me if I have an extrau money and if it is okay if she'll borrow again . Of course as what I have promised myself, I did not lend her money - that's her punishment for not having a word of honor.
I didnot let her borrow again not all because of that, I have a lots of reason if I did not let her borrow from me.
First one, she has a lot of loan like mpany loan, sss loan, PAG-IBIG loan, not only that, she also has a debt on our other workmates. One of them was someone who I told the story about her first debt to me, let's just call her "Ms. A." At first Ms. A told me, she's not that sure if she will let her money be borrowed by that person but suddenly she let her and now Ms. A is regretting that she let her borrow money from her because she keeps on re-scheduling if when will she pay and keeps on disappearing on the date that she scheduled.
So guys, before you lend your money to someone, make sure that the person is a good payer because during this time, *mahirap maningil ng utang, minsan kung sino pa ang nangutang un pa ang galit.*
No Label Relationship
Lots of millenials are settling with the so called "NO LABEL RELATIONSHIP" and every individual has different perspective about this, some are okay with it and I guess majority does not want the idea of having like this kind of relationship.
If I were to ask if I've settled to be in this kind of relationship, I can say that "no, I didn't" but if you will ask me about my opinion on this one, then it is just okay to settle first with this kind of relationship. Just do not invest so much time with it.
Here are the PROs of dealing in a No Label Relationship
1. A NO LABEL RELATIONSHIP can give you the opportunity to know the person well and both of you can have a mutual understanding in a commitment then that will be the time that you can level up your relationship.
Why do lots of people do not like to engage in this kind of relationship?
Lots of people does not want to be in this kind of relationship because we tend to assume and we tend to fall in love first. We easilly fall for someone without knowing totally who the person really is.
If you are dating someone or constantly talking to someone, then you should make a set up wherein you only give what you are receiving. For example, if he is not messaging you then do not also make a move to talk to them, you need to mirror them.
But if this person says "hi" then you can reply him / her, "hi" or "hello" or to whatever you want them to say.
We must test the waters first, bacause what happens is that, the person who hurts the most during this kind of relationship is the person who have high hopes in this.
Do not put so much hope in this, not everybody survives a No Label Relationship, but if ever you do, you will be able to find true happiness. Because when you come to think of it, if you are in a No Label Relationship, you have the means of not making it formal but if you both agree to make it formal then that, that is something special.
**People ask if what gender is unfavorable in this kind of situation, is it girls?**
Well, I think, is never depends on the gender. It is just that most women are more emotional about this. We have to be strong that before we enter in any form of relationship, we must make sure that we are complete. We need to make sure that we are complete because we should not let that our source of happiness is our "partner" and when that person left you behind, you shouldn't care at all becasue you know what you bring in the table, you know exactly yo your values. And if you truly know your worth, you do not have to be scared if he / she left you. You will never lose someone if you know your values.
It is so much fulfilling if you have the kind of attitude wherein you just focus on yourself ang know that you are happiness with or without anyone becasue you know that you yourself alone is a happy individual
Some people will also say that NLR is just a waste of time and being coward, not being able to take risk.
NLR is not a waste of time because this are the moments wherein to really get to know the person.
No label relationship usually do not work, yes that is true but most best relationship are found in this kind of relationship. Why? Becasue in this stage, it will make you know the person more.
It is not a waste of time also because you have the opportunity to be with the person be ssue you like him / her and if ever you find out that it did not worl then it is not a waste of time, becasue nowadays as we can observe, it is now very easy to enter into a relationship. Some people's perception is that when they both like each other, then they make their relationship official real quick and if did not work for 2 to 3 months, they will finally decide to end their relationship.
We should make our relationship sacred just like marriage because being in a relarionship is a trial in marriage. We can not say that, "okay, let's give it a try to marry each other. Let's just see if it will workout." When we get married to someone, we must make sure that he / she really is the one.
The waste of time is when you put yourself in a relationship for 3 to 4 or more years and did not work out then that is wheb you call it a waste of time.
Before entering in to a relationship, make sure that you are sure about it. Be serious when making decision. It is not a game.
And if you think that you need to level up your relationship officially but feel that the other person does not really want commitment then better end your no label relationship. Know your worth whether you are a boy or a girl. Do not ever let yourself be taken for granted, never.
Sabi nga ng iba, mga gamit nga kelangan may label, tao pa kaya?
Still Undecided
May 4, 2022
Hi guys, good evening welcome back to my page. Char! Haha. Mema intro lang e.
Hey guys, how are you? I hope your doing fine.
As we all know, election day is fast approaching. Do you already have a fixed mind on who will you vote? If yes, good for you but for me, well based on my title of this article you already know my answer.
Yes, you read it right, I am **still undecided**. I do not know who to vote, seriously. I have two candidates on my mind, comparing / weighing if who really is the best, if who really deserves to be seated as the president of the Philippines.
**May 9, 2022** is not an ordinary day for us but it is one of the most important day in our ( Filipinos) life because this is the day wherein we will make the best decision on ourselves for our beloved Philippines.
For every desicion that we make, it will make a big difference in our (Filipinos) lives. So we must be careful on who will we vote to be the leaders of our country.
As they say, before coming into a decision. We must answer these questions:
Disclaimer: The answers with the questions listed below are just my answers. It is based on my perspective, and if you want to add more, the comment section is always open for you.
What are the qualities are you looking in choosing your candidate?
For those who do not know, the only qualification if you want to run as president is the **age.** Yes you read it right, there is only an age requirement, nothing more and nothing less. Do you already know this guys? Or is it the only time you knew it? So, if the requirement is just an age, then anyone who reached the age requirement is now qualified to run for presidency, no matter your educational background is or whatsoever is already qualified.
So, with this case, we voters must make a research, or gather informations that will help us in choosing the best leader in our country. Sad to say, lots of fake news are in social medias right now, we do not know if the one we are watching is real or it has been edited.
And since, age is the only thing that is considered for the legibility of running, meaning, even for people who did not finished study may run.
For my answer to the question above, I will choose someone who has a brain and heart. Of course all of them have those physically but when it comes to mentally, I just do not know if all candidates have these. Haha.
**What are their platforms?**
Every candidates must have a clear plans, platforms when running in election. Of course, in times of campaign, lots of candidates have a beautiful platforms in our place. **Ang tatamis ng mga dila.**
Some people will find some platforms as unbelievable, or should I say, **"too good to be true"** that some of their platforms are impossible to happen.
**Character**
During the presidential debates, we observed on how well they answer the questions. Some of them, well you can see that the other is just so good in speaking, being confident on what they are saying. But someone told me that we will not only see if how well do they answer questions because some may we really good in words but not in actions.
Some of them are not confident and some can not answer well during the debate.
Lots of people may not be good in speaking but some are very good when it comes to actions.
Let's not only chose if who to hear on the one side of the story when judging someone. It is not being "balimbing" but weighing things up to come up a good decision.
Let's vote wisely and I am hoping that when the election day comes or before election day, I already made a decision.
How those who are here, will it be okay if I am going to ask you if who will be you voting president and vice president? And tell me why did you chose them.
No worries, I will be open minded here, it will help me decide well with your answers. I want to have something to think about. Hoping that your reasons ( if you will comment) will enlighten me.
Vote Buying
**May 3, 2022**
Hi guys, good evening. Are there anyone of you who already received their "ayuda" from the running candidates in your place? Haha. Charot!
Here in the Philippines, it is sad to say that vote buying is already a norm here. Lots of running canditates are giving moneys to voters hoping that those people who were given money will vote them.
Yeah, giving money to people is good but giving money in exchange of voting them?, well, it is a big NO for me.
For those who are voters, yes you may take the money but please vote the person who fits best in the position, someone who deserve to sit, someone who cares about the people.
Okay, I will not deny the fact that I already received money that came from candidates, I experienced patiently waiting because the line was too long or waiting for hours because the distribution is not yet time. I experienced waking up in dawn, getting up in bed even though I am still sleepy just to go to the place where the distribution of money is being done.
Oh yes, lots of us had done those things just to receive money, **"sayang naman kasi diba kapag di mo natanggap diba"**
Yes, I admit when I am not yet a voter, I envy those people who are receiving money from the candidates. I saw my cousins who were excited to receive the money and saw how happy they were when they already got the money. Seeing them, well I want to be 18 years old real quick by that time so that I may be able to be added in the list of people who are qualified to receive the money.
I was second year college then when I turned 18 years old, and since I have my NSTP-CWTS that time, that particular subject requires us to be register in the COMELEC.
The moment I am in the process of registration, we (me and my cousin) was excited, and the first thing in our minds was that, we can now be able to receive money when there is election, we were happy back them. We even wished that when election comes, we are hoping that we will receive a big amount of money.
Yeah, let's admit the fact that it is not only me who is happy when they announced that some candidates will give money, we are many.
Usually candidates assign someone (every barangay) to distribute the money for him / her, we called them COORDINATORS.
There are a lots of issues for the distribution of money. Some people did not receive a money because the "coordinators" says that the certain voter's name was not listed even though they are an active voters. With my opinion, those coordinators says so, so that the money that should be given to that voter will go straightly to the pockets of the coordinators.
I already experienced that someone I know received money from a certain candidate but I did not receive any from that candidate, and the reason is my name is not listed from their copy. I already know that maybe the money that I should receive is now on their pockets.
There are lots of people who are abusive, that instead of them distributing the money, they usually do not distribute it wholely and those which are not distributed will go in their packets / stomachs.
Yeah, Vote buying is not good. If a candidate gave you a money, there is nothing bad in receiving it, what is not good is that, even though you do not like the candidate anf since he / she gave you money then you are going to vote that person.
Vote the one who really reserves it, not with someone who gave you more money because it will greatly affect us once the person who will win do not deserves to be seated.
I just hope that when May 9, 2022 comes, when you are now voting, vote someone who have a heart, someone who has concern for the country.
Let's vote wisely.
Thank you for my sponsors who are always there, God bless you all.
Bangus Festival
May 2, 2022
Hi guys, how is your day? It is the second day of the month and let's start grinding again. Did not have much time yesterday that is why this will be my first article during this month of May.
Lots of writers track their earnings every month and some of them even set a goal that they should reach a certain amount for the month. This is also what I am going to do starting this month.
Last Saturday, April 30 is the celebration of Bangus Festival in Dagupan City. I am not from there but I've been working in that city for almost 7 years in a well known drugstore here in the North.
The city had the chance again to celebrate the Bangus Festival because we all know that Covid19 what had done to us. For my 7 years stay in the city, this is my third time to watch some of their programs.
In the afternoon, the "KALUTAN ED DALAN" (grilling along the street) was performed. Of course, milkfish (BANGUS) where grilled in this time but besides that some also have their barbecues, hotdogs for additional.
For those who do not know, Dagupan City made it to the Guinness World of Record last 2003 for the World's Longest Barbecue. "The longest barbecue measured 1,007.56 meters that was created by the people of Dagupan City"
Yesterday, me and my officemates had an agreement to watch bands during this time. Since I have work yesterday and some of them were not asked to go to work, that is why ee decided to see each other after my work.
Lots of popular bands were there but sad to say they are with different stages. If I am not mistaken there are 7 stages all in all.
We wanted to see Andrew E. because as they say, he will go there. But since me and my workmates meet by 5pm, we didn't saw Andrew E. there because they said that he already performed by 4pm, so we were late for 1hour.
Me and my workmates ( we were four plus the daughter of one of our workmate, total we were 5 ) walked around along the road and all of us were craving for hotdogs because some people were also grilling hotdogs instead of bangus.
As we were walking around, we are lucky enough to see that the company I am working with participated also in the event. We saw our co-workers grilling. They told us to come over and have some merienda. They offered softdrinks to us and someone from us have the courage enough to asked if they have hotdogs, and yes, they have. So, the two grilled the hotdogs. They also give us one grilled bangus.
After eating the hotdogs, we left and had some walk again. After the "Kalutan Ed Dalan" was done, of course live performances of the live bands will be next.
We standby the Stage 4 because the "The Juans" were there. We were there at around 6:30pm, someone announced that they will start at exactly 6:45pm so we waited patiently. It's already 6:45 but they did not start it yet until it is now 7:05, it did not start. We got mad and we left. It's as if we were waiting for something that will not arrive.
We had our dinner, we ate "pigar pigar" this one is famous in Dagupan and we also ate the bangus that our co-workers gave.
After eating dinner, we left at the main area of the event and went to another event but still in Dagupan City. I won't tell much if why is there a two event in the same city since it is controversial. If you want to know, there are social medias for you to know this issue.
When we were almost there, we are hearing **Adie's** voice singing **Paraluman** but we were sad because that was his last song and we didn't even saw him on stage.
After Adie's performance, the popular band **Ben&Ben** is next in line. They first sang the song "**Pagtingin**" and on the very first line of the song, you can see that the crowd was enjoying that much and so I am. Even though we were at the back, too much crowd and the weather is too hot, it didn't stop us to enjoy.
Second, they sang "**Maybe the Night**", I also like this song, third one is "**KATHANG-ISIP**" is a sad song but I also like this. Fourth one is "**MAHIWAGA**", I am not really familiar this song (lyrics) but I know the chorus part, it was the very first time that I heard the whole song and started liking it. I will download the song later and I will listen to it over and over again until I want it. Yeah, that is what I always do when when I am inlove with a song. Haha. But I use earphones so that my companions will not order me to stop playing music. Lol.
All in all they sang 5 songs. I am not familiar with the last song that is why I can not tell you if what was it.
After their performance, it started drizzling. They already lighted up the fireworks because there is a high probability that it will rain.
Then few moments later, it started raining. Good thing is, whenever I go out, I always bring with me an umbrella. Lots of people do not have umbrellas, some chose to feel the rain and some went to places who have shade.
Minutes later, the rain stopped. We were happy because next one to perform was **SpongeCola**, but after a few minutes, it started raining again, compared to the first rain, the second one rained that much and even longer. We waited patiently again for the rain to stop. All of our shoes, pants were wet and our t-shirts were barely wet.
Then the rain stopped, the moment it stopped, we went their near the stage and this time we were seated. As we were sitting, all we know is that they are setting up again the stage but sadly they were packing the intruments already and said that **SpongeCola** will not be able to perform since it is dangerous when they will plug in the musical instruments and speakers because they were wet and might create a ground.
Sad but even though it is just okay with me, that they will not perform, lots of people went their just to see **SpongeCola** it didn't happen. Some even came from other towns of Pangasinan and I feel sad for them.
I am quite sad because we waited for the rain to stop and hoped that we will watch them but the rain eventually stopped the event.
Even though it rained, our experience there last Saturday is another moments to cherish.
Thank you to my sponsors, I really appreciate you.

I did not able to write an article because I went to and hang out with my friends. Hope that I may be able to write tomorrow.
When Is The Right Time To End a Relationship
When is really the right time to walk away in a relationship?
Is there really a perfect timing for this?
Or will just walk away from the moment you wanted to or will you figure out things first before you finally decide to leave your partner?
Everything that I will be mentioning below are my pure opinions. So, if we weren't the same, you can comment down below yours.
Break-ups,divorce are always happening in our society. But why is it that it is happening when in fact, from the very start of the relationship the couple are truly, madly and deeply in love with each other. Everything is really perfect only from the start and it is so promising.
But then, when the relationship is now on its long term, the spark / the sweetness with each other is decreasing, maybe because they are now comfortable with each other and being used to being together. And some couple, as the days / months / years that are passing by, their true colors are now being shown or some of their bad attitudes / behavior are now slowly being disclosed with each other and their partners can't take it. And that's the time, the other one of them or both of them will now want them to split out.
If you are one of these couples who no longer want to be with their partner, here are the perfect timing if when will you end your relationship:
End your relationship when you know that there is now something wrong in what you feel. When you already know that is it already too much.
When your love to yourself is no longer there and you know that you are already drained.
When you already know that you did your part, there is nothing wrong when you want it to try and start all over again but when you already did everything just to save the relationship and there is no progress, that is now the perfect timing of ending your relationship.
A relationship is a two way process, that when you love someone and only you are the one who loves your partner and you are not receiving the love that you are giving in return, then simply loving him / her won't keep a relationship. You may be good for a short time but defenitely not for a long time. Love is always a give and take process, one must give and the other will receiveand vise versa.
Settle for a relationship wherein both of you are ready to commit with each other for love / partnership to last long and definitely will lead to forever.
At the beginning of a relationship, both you are are defenitely happy but if it is not what God has planned, He will hurt our feelings. And if we insisted to still be with in that relationship, the hurt that you felt days / weeks / months ago will be doubled or the hurt will continue to grow until you will finally have the courage to step back.
We shoud keep in mind that LOVE SHOULD NOT HURT, LOVE DOES NOT HURT and IF IT IS HURTING YOU THEN IT IS NOT LOVE.
Love is supposed to heal us.
Love is supposed to comfort us.
Love is supposed to give us peace of mind.
Love is supposed to give us security.
We should not always make someone our world because when that someone will leave us, we can still go on with our lives. It may hurt, it will really hurt us defenitely but the best part here is you can manage to slowly fixing yourself up and be stronger. Be independent. Do not let yourself be the loser.
One important reminder to all of you,
no matter how perfect you are,
no matter how beautiful / handsome you are,
no matter how kind you are,
no matter how rich you are,
no matter what is your job,
no matter how powerful you are,
if he / she wants leave you, he / she will really leave you.
So the bottomline here is, choose someone who knows on how to be contented.
And if you really love someone and you do not want to lose them, do not be the reason if why will your relationship end.
Cheating is one of the reasons if why couples break up. Never ever cheat on someone because you will never know on how will it impact to that person's life who has been cheated on. It is never easy to be cheated upon, they may end up blaming themselves if why did you cheat and will keep in mind that they are the reason why it did happen.
Do not be the reason if why a person does not want to believe in love again.
It ia better to talk to your partner, end the relationship than to stay in your relationship but you are cheating. Yes,it may hurt them if you will initiate the break up but it will hurt even more when he / she discovers that you are cheating on him / her.
