My Baby Sister
When I learned that mom is giving birth to her, I got really furious. While they are still in the hospital that cold September dawn, I've been making plans on my mind about what to do to that child. I planned not to talk to either mom or dad nor look at the baby. Call me selfish but I don't want another baby in the house!
I may be judged as the evil and selfish big sister but I have my reasons why I hate the thought of having another baby sister. My whole life I'm living like a maid in the house. I don't have time to play. I never enjoyed my life as a kid because I always have to attend to all the housechores, look after my younger siblings and attend to our business.
At a young age of 11 I already have to manage a whole household because my parents are always away and doing some business. While me on the other hand have to look after the young children - my siblings. I became their second mom.
I can't go outside to play, I can't enjoy reading the books I borrowed at the library and I can't even chat with some friends because I always have to look after the welfare of my siblings. Another baby in the house will be an additional burden to me.
But all my negative feelings melted when I saw my baby sister for the first time that day. My heart was engulfed with warmth as I saw her smile at me for the first time. I was always mesmerized whenever I look at her cute and chubby face.
Now that she's already big and in just a few years will turn into a lady, I'm thankful that mom gave birth to her. I'm thankful that we got another baby in the house nine years ago.
But I'm still not happy about being mistaken as her mom ๐

My Dad's Drinking Habits
My dad is fond of drinking alcoholic beverages. He's not like this before. He used to be the perfect role model and the best dad I must say. But after my grandma died, he became addicted to alcohol. It's not wrong to drink alcohol but my dad is getting addicted to it. He can't seem to let a day pass without drinking any alcohol.
What's worse is he gets crazy whenever he gets a taste of alcohol. We are already used to it. I mean, the whole family. We are used to his drinking habits. We're used to him being so noisy whenever he's drunk.
What's ironic is when he's sober, he's a very nice person. We can't even hear any bad word coming from his mouth but when he gets a taste of alcohol, he becomes a very different person.
I no longer know what to do with him. Right now, while I'm writing this article, the whole family is looking after my dad because blood is dripping from his eyes. He was in an accident while he's drunk again. I can't get myself to look at him though because it's his fault and I'm afraid of seeing blood.

The Sky is Red
Like other people I also love looking at sky. I love looking at various clouds formations, I love looking at the millions of stars at night, I always anticipate every sunrise and I'm filled with awe everytime I see the sunsets. I love sunsets because it gives me the romantic vibes or feel even though I'm single and 'bitter' all the time. Whenever I see the beautiful sunset, I feel like I want to fall in love but after the sunset passed, that certain feeling fades.
Yesterday, while I'm cooking something for supper my cousin kept calling me and told me to look at the sky because it's red. When I went outside here's what I saw:
The sky looks stunning in red! This is a raw photo and I didn't use any special effects nor edited this.
Have you seen the sky as beautiful as this?

My Self Introduction
Hello everyone. My name is peppanda, not my real name of course. I was invited by my sister here, who I think is already a known writer here because she already have 300+ subscribers.
At first I didn't want to join because I'm just an ordinary lazy person who wants to stay on social media but my sister's being a nagger so I just tried joining and I also have a goal to save some money. I also have a little confidence because I'm no good compared to my sister. But I'm hoping that I will also be loved in this platform just like her.
I would love to share some of my photographs here just like what she do all the time. She's been taking pictures here and there and being deemed as a crazy woman by people who don't have any idea about her purpose (her photographs turns out to look great though and earns a lot of likes and comments here) I want to achieve what she achieved too but I know that it will require some time.
Enough of my sister, I hope you guys will also support me and my articles ๐
I will be writing anything, any topic under the heat of the sun and I hope you will enjoy it.
Here's the first two articles I pu lished yesterday. Hope you read it and give your comments and feedbacks.

My sister made me a beautiful banner that she said I should put below my articles but I will just use it later because I saw a post last night that says it seems suspicious for a new user to have that.
@Macronald sir I hope you liked my introductory post and I'm sorry if I can't mention any newbie because I don't know any other newbies yet.

Planting is Good
Even before the quarantine started, our family has always been fond of planting vegetables for our consumption.
Planting is good because we can save money from buying expensive vegetables in the market and it allows us to eat freshly picked and healthy foods.
When the quarantine started, a lot of people felt bored specially those who live in the areas under hard lockdown. But we are never felt that because our family is always busy taking care of the plants. Gardening has been my stress reliever too.
Here are some of the vegetables that we have:
How about you? Have you ever tried planting and experienced the good effects of it?
My Pup's Photographs
My 13 year old dog died last May but just a week later my dad adopted a new puppy. And she's actually growing fast!
She's just the typical Aspin (Asong Pinoy) but she's very smart and very easy to train.
Here's some of her photographs:
Her name is Prieta by the way. I hope you like my pup's photographs ๐
