Celebration of Holy Week and Welcoming of Easter
In the Philippines, Easter is commemorated as a single event known as Holy Week, which takes place from Thursday through Sunday. Easter Sunday is followed by Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday, and Easter Monday.
This Holy Week starts from the Palm Sunday where Christians welcomes Christ with palm leaves which reflects the entrance of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. Followed by Holy Wednesday, then Maundy Thursday where the Last Supper happened, then the Good Friday where Jesus Christ was crucified and died at the cross and lastly the Black Saturday where the happened the visitation of his tomb. Next day would be the start of Easter season or the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and arose to heaven.
Filipino Catholicism differs significantly from Roman Catholicism in the western world. It has been greatly impacted by Malay mysticism, dictatorial customs, and the repression of individual freedom, among other factors. On the surface, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is a religious organization that creates its own brand of Catholicism. The CBCP, on the other hand, is the most powerful institution in the country, often even more powerful than the president, in a manner similar to medieval Catholicism. Uprisings sparked by the Archbishop of Manila has resulted in the overthrow of two presidents of the Philippines. It is the same church that was powerful (or influential enough) to order the execution of Jose Rizal Mercado, who is now considered a national hero.
When Filipinos travel to Europe for the first time, they are surprised to encounter a different form of Catholicism, a more liberal type of Catholicism. At the same time, Europeans are taken aback by the presence in the Philippines of a medieval sort of Catholicism that has been exacerbated by indigenous mysticism and fanaticism. The Filipino church considers alcohol, cigarettes, sex, and even masturbation to be not just sins, but also criminal crimes that should be punished with torture, if at all possible.
Christian fundamentalism poses a significant threat in the Philippines. Simply holding opposing views or thinking negatively about someone can result in your death due to public fury. They have no regard for individual liberty. However, a minority of liberal-minded Filipinos serves to counterbalance them.
Consequently, to answer the question, Easter is observed, but only as part of a single, depressing event. Filipino Catholicism considers celebrations and other forms of merriment to be heathen practices. Easter is a religious holiday in the Philippines. There are a few people who participate in easter egg hunts, but not as a family tradition, but rather as a sort of recreational amusement.
For Filipino Catholicism, the sole acceptable form of celebration is to rejoice that shops, radio, and television have returned to normal. They are expected to attend mass and pray throughout the day on Easter Sunday.
The Holy Week is very important event for us especially to us Christians where we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our savior. Every catholic church celebrates this to commemorate Jesus Christ. This is also the time where we repent our sins and reflect to it and fast (fasting) to reflect the hardship that Christ went through. This is also said to be the time of acceptance.
If you have time also, there is so-called Visita Iglesia where people visit catholic churches around the country, or rather there are churches that were considered as pilgrimaged churches of the country wherein these are one of the oldest churches built that surpassed decades. That’s all everything about the celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
Things to Do to Stay Fit and Healthy
As humans, it is important to take care of our health and that includes doing regular exercise. Because in this world where we need to work to earn money for us to live in, some people often forget to take care of their health. They tend to give their full attention towards working and working, and because of this, their health is being affected.
We should not forget that when we are healthy and fit, we will be able to do our work well and our income will increase too. Besides that, the good feeling of being fit and healthy makes us happy too, so we should not forget to do regular exercise. We should not put our health at risk and shorten our life expectancy, so we just need to do the healthy things that would improve our physical condition.
So to do that, let's do some simple exercises every day. They are listed below:
**Walking**
Spending a few minutes walking early in the morning helps strengthen the joints and bones, especially since the sun is also a great source of vitamin D, which is good for the bones. But don't be exposed to the sun at all past 10 if possible, because it is already scorching and could lead to sunburn. When exercising, even just by walking, it is important to engage in activities that can help improve the flexibility of the joints as well as keep them toned.
**Jogging**
Aside from walking, you may also get up from bed early in the morning and jog down the road. Do not forget to bring water so you can hydrate yourself after jogging. Take a pause every thirty minutes on your jog to allow yourself to rehydrate. Just an important reminder: do not push yourself too much. When to stop and have some rest.
**Stretching**
If you do not have so much time, you may opt to just do some stretching instead. Start from your head down to your toes.If you do not have time, just focus on the important areas like your neck, shoulders, arms, and back, which are often affected by too much sitting while doing your work.
**Eat a healthy balanced diet**
Of course, this one should not be forgotten. We need to intake nutrition for our bodies, and to do that, we have to eat foods that are rich in nutrition like green leafy vegetables, foods rich in proteins like eggs, meat, and also some fish, among others, that can be found in go, grow, and glow. While it is not forbidden to eat junk food, try to limit yourself from doing so as much as possible.
Because a fit body and mind can perform better than an unfit one, everyone wants to be fit. So, if you want to improve your health and well-being, it's essential that you pay attention to your diet and engage in regular physical activity. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet—one that is tailored to your individual needs—allows your body to get the energy and nutrients it requires. When you give your body what it needs, it begins to develop normally. To keep your muscles active, you need to exercise regularly. Exercise, like a well-balanced diet, varies from person to person based on their body type, diet, and fitness objectives.
So again, we should put these things in mind so we could live a a better and heathier life. Have a wonderful day!
Hello, My Love, Goodbye!
You'll just realize one day that the things that used to be your favorites suddenly fade. You've got to get moving, though. It is not always because of you that it has just become like that. There are certain factors in this world that we cannot control. It is vitally important that you get to the root of it and resolve it early on. If not, they broke us down and left us with lots of questions.
When you fall, you are usually held up to stand again by someone who used to be at your side, someone who means a lot to you, and someone whom you think will always be at your side regardless of whether you are at your weakest and craziest. As I was told, it is all about trust and loyalty. When you fall, you are always brought up again by the same person who pulled you down.
I am doing this, I mean, writing this because I realize I should let go of the things I am trying to hold onto. And I should stop trying too hard to protect someone who is, unintentionally, starting to cause more harm. It hurts too much already, and I can't bear the pain anymore. Some part of me still wants to hold onto the hope that you'll come back, but I can't help but feel pity for myself. It is a pity that I am still here feeling like I am more than special to you, although deep down in my heart, I know that it is not that way.
Remember the day you told me I was good enough? That was one of my happiest days, if not the best. I feel so special because no one has ever told me that before. I do deserve your praise, but when I heard it, I wanted to scream instead. For the first time, I could see myself as somebody, and that was wonderful. I feel the butterflies in my stomach. But it is sad because I overreact into what you've said.
I don't know what your emotions were at that time since you only said it through chat, but hey, I really felt happy at that time. I never thought that you were just bluffing me since I perceived you as a kind person the first time we saw each other.
We shared a lot of things like this and like that, and I feel safe and comfortable with you. I did not notice. I was already falling in love with you. so deep that I almost couldn't manage to swim back to the top. And that's what I've been telling you exactly now in this article. I am not sure if there is a chance that you will read it, but I just want to say that in those moments when I felt so in love, I tried my best to hide it. But guess what, I couldn't. And you know what is more painful than that? I thought your actions towards me had meaning. So sad, it was just an illusion.
Sobbing, I want to scream. This one-sided love is far more painful than being brokenhearted. I am sorry if I distanced myself from you. I just don't want to sink into a deeper abyss. The pain is already too much. Though your smile makes me feel happy and in love, the fact that we can't be together is far heavier.
But again, hello, my love. It is hard to say goodbye to the things we shared together, the laughs and happy experiences, but it is bound to happen. But don’t worry, because the world still has a lot of light in the dark. Maybe, just maybe, if we meet again in the future and we are still both single, I might have the courage to confess. Thank you for all the things we have been through, and I’m still sure something amazing will come along our paths eventually. And for now, let me find myself first and know my worth.
Importance of Speaking English
Language is one of the most important tools we have for communicating and interacting with those around us. However, the English language has become increasingly prevalent throughout the world. The English language has established itself as the international language, and it has assumed a significant part in our lives. Learning English can help us enhance our intellect, build our emotional skills, and improve our communication skills, among other things.
In a world where globalization is taking place, the value of the English language cannot be underestimated. Given that English is the most widely spoken international business language (it is spoken by around 1.5 billion people worldwide), communicating with people from different nations is quite simple.
Over the past several decades, English has surpassed all other languages in terms of popularity, with more than 1 billion people using English in their daily activities such as reading newspapers, sending emails, and communicating with others for professional purposes.
The majority of people utilize English as their primary language of contact with individuals in other nations, and we are able to exchange ideas and knowledge through the English language. If we learn English, we will be able to communicate with others more effectively and clearly, which will help to avoid misunderstandings. Developing our English language skills will enable us to speak successfully with people from all over the world, making travel much more convenient and allowing you to understand more about diverse cultures as a result of your studies.
Because the vast majority of business documents are written in English, English is frequently used by worldwide firms and organizations in order to efficiently communicate with their customers and employees. Moreover, because the majority of computer software and operating systems are written in English, it is easier for specialists to understand the technical issues that develop when computers are used.
English speakers have a greater chance of landing better employment than non-English speakers because there are more companies that like to recruit people who are fluent in English. This is due to the fact that there are more organizations that want to hire people who are fluent in English. Consequently, studying English has become a requirement among those seeking to advance in their jobs or better their employment prospects.
To summarize, the English language has become a significant element of our lives because it assists us much in our daily activities and also plays an important role in our future careers, both now and in the future. Let us educate ourselves and make an effort to master the English language because it will benefit us not only at school but also in the long run. As a result, it is critical that we master the English language.
Three Selfless Wishes to Genie
What if one day while you are walking across a path and then you will just suddenly see a lamp that seemed ordinary but when you rubbed it, you found out that it is magical? Then, of course, the genie will come out from it and will ask you three selfless wishes. What would it be and why?
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about the three selfless wishes I am going to ask from the genie if I am in the above-mentioned situation, right here in today's episode of Senyoritalks.
Just a little bit of trivia, there is a Disney movie that portrays a genie in it that grants three wishes. It is entitled Alladin. So if you haven't watched it yet and you are curious about it, I recommend you to watch it.
So going back to the three selfless wishes, the following are what I am going to ask:
I'd want to send forth a positive thought for all of mankind to spread humanity.
I wish that everyone will find their own happiness on the road they have chosen to make life worth enjoying.
I wish that genie will be able to be set free to have his own freedom too.
Being selfless is not mandatory. In fact, it is hard to do especially when one is driven by jealousy and insecurity from others. But as for me, the three mentioned wishes above are what I am going to ask from a genie.
I'd want to send forth a positive thought for all of mankind to spread humanity.
Having a love that encompasses both kindness and unselfishness is something that can be achieved with humanity, and this is the very reason I choose to include this wish. Because people who really care for another person are nice to them; they protect and care for others; they sympathize with others; they compromise for others, and they connect their own feelings to those of others. When they are hurting, we feel their agony, we feel their sadness, and we feel their joy. So that is humanity. It could be an act of extending love to all people.
I wish that everyone will find their own happiness on the road they have chosen to make life worth enjoying.
Sometimes, people took a path they don't even want but they have no choice but to do so. So I wish to the genie to help people follow a certain path they could enjoy and feel happiness. Life is already hard and it becomes tougher the moment you choose to take a different path. So with this kind of wish, I think of everyone's happiness.
Lastly, I wish that the genie will be able to be set free to have his own freedom too.
Life without freedom is not worthy. You are breathing but it is as if you are locked up in a room full of barriers. So, my third selfless wish is to let the genie get freed from the bottle and have his own freedom to so he could have a taste of freedom too because imagine a thousand years being stocked inside a bottle.
There you have it, my friends. I hope you appreciate this kind of article I have presented you and that I have inspired you through my words. Now, let me ask you the same question. What three selfless wishes are you going to ask?
Filling out this Self-care Bingo
I came across an activity posted by another one that seemed to be fun, and this is Self-care Bingo by @coffeejelly . I haven't done anything like this before on this platform, so I am really excited about doing it. https://read.cash/@coffeejelly/are-you-taking-care-of-yourself-lets-play-some-self-care-bingo-09eff45b
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about some things I filled out in this self-care bingo activity, right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
Took a shower
Because of the summer heat, of course, I have more reason to take a bath, so I took a shower. Anyway, since summer is here, it's really hot, so aside from taking a bath, also drink a lot of water.
Got dressed
Since I was just inside our house, I just wore simple clothes. But if it means getting dressed for something like a big event, no.
I caught up with friends.
I just have a few friends, but we can talk about a lot of things in a single day, especially if I have started blabbing about things like this and like that. One of them will have her birthday next month, and I am much more excited.
I processed my feelings.
For some personal reasons I prefer not to talk about, I have been so emotional lately and can't sleep well at night. But I give myself time to process these emotions and cope with them.
I complemented myself.
A simple act of commending myself for a job well done, no matter how small it may be, is something I do every time I finish something. I complimented myself while looking at the mirror, even when my face is not that, you know, I won't mention it na lang haha.
Meditated
I did not meditate today since we had an early class and I also slept at night due to reading our lessons. But every day, I do some stretching and some more exercises every other day.
Ate good food.
We ate tinola for dinner, and I consider it a very good meal because it is one of my favorites and I am really satisfied. I don't know how much rice I ate, but my tummy is happy.
Listened to my body
I slept for an hour awhile ago before we had our afternoon class. But after that, I don't know why I still get to spend time doing some unproductive things. Anyway, I will sleep early today.
Had fun
I had so much fun playing tonight. Though it's pretty stressful, at least I was able to somehow release my frustrations. Hopefully, we will not have our class at 10 tomorrow, so I can do more things.
Asked for help
I asked for some help today, especially in understanding better the part of the lesson I am a bit confused about.
Took a much needed break.
I haven't had much need break yet this month, but hopefully, after finishing our activity on Friday, I can have the whole weekend relaxing and doing my hobbies.
Drank water
This is very important, especially in this hot season. I think I have drunk a lot and will drink more since I am still writing and it's become a habit for me to drink water before going to bed.
Take a social media break.
If there is one thing I can take a break from, it's social media. There is no where to be found in the options. Why did I say so? Because I can't.
I treated myself
Today is Shopee's payday sale, and since I think I deserve a treat for myself, I bought something for myself I can use when I go out. It is around 3 dollars, I think.
Complimented someone
I always compliment others, especially when I know they deserve it. Besides, I am cute and it makes me more cute. hahaha Char.
Got 8 hours of sleep.
Nah. I just had 5 hours of sleep last night. On average, probably 6-7 hours.
Took steps to tame negative thoughts.
How I wish I could do this right now. I am an overthinker, but hopefully I can do it some time.
Hugging my parents
I don't frequently hug them, but I know that they know that I love them very much.
Dropped a habit that was not for me.
Nah. Even if it is not for me, I still do it because of something.
Took a mental health day.
Maybe some other time. For now, I can't have it due to a lot of things on my mind.
Spending time with nature.
You can always find me in my room. At the back of our house, there is a farm, filled with grass and wonderful scenery, but I just go there sometimes.
Declutter my space.
My room is not that big, but I have some things to declutter. I need an organizer for my books, but I do not yet have the budget.
Wrote down in my journal.
I remember doing it every day before, but as of these days, I can't because I do a lot of things to the point that I can't do it. But anyway, I sometimes write about my daily experiences here.
Practice self-compassion
I know that I am sometimes hard on myself, but I'll work on practicing it regularly. Besides, I may deserve it.
How about you?
It's excellent if you've marked out more than I have.
In my opinion, this is more than a game. It serves as a helpful reminder of the need to take care of one's own health and interests. Taking these little measures can help us improve our mental and physical health. I hope you had fun reading it, and I am looking forward to reading something like this from you too.
Benefits and drawbacks of social media.
Have you ever considered how social media has altered the method in which we communicate? In today's society, social media has surpassed all other modes of communication as the major mode of exchange. We can exchange our views, ideas, news, information, and documents, among other things, through social media.
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about some of the things that are considered benefits and drawbacks of social media, just right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
As described by the Oxford Dictionary, `social media is a relationship that exists between a network and individuals. Web sites for social networking and microblogging, for example, are relatively widespread and widely utilized examples of social media platforms. There are numerous advantages to utilizing social media.`
To begin, it is a "***wonderful device for education***," since students may educate themselves by utilizing social media. Second, social media allows us to become more socially aware of the issues that are affecting people all over the world. Third, you can offer assistance and guidance to others, and finally, it helps to build our relationships with our loved ones. Because of social media, distance is no longer an impediment to communication.
Most of us, on the other hand, are solely concerned with the positive aspects of social media and do not consider its negative aspects. "***Cyberbullying***" is one of the disadvantages of using social media. Cyberbullying is defined as the act of uploading or spreading negative, harmful, or fraudulent content about another person with the intent of causing depression or social anxiety. Social media also invades your privacy by disclosing your personal information, and it can also lead to addiction.
Addiction to social media can cause distraction from studies and physical activities, as well as a decrease in your ability to concentrate and think clearly. In a nutshell, social media has both advantages and drawbacks. As a result, we must be aware of both the positive and negative effects of social media in order to make an informed decision for ourselves.
Online learning encourages students to spend more time with their devices or with the many technologies that are available to them, which allows them to be more active on social media platforms. As we all know, and as some of the points above have demonstrated, there are advantages and disadvantages to using social media. Yes, these advantages are really beneficial during these times, as they allow the work to be completed more efficiently and quickly than usual. Social media is no longer just for recreational purposes; it is now being used for advertising, promotion, journalism, advocacy, and even education. However, when it is employed in an incorrect or unwelcome manner, it has negative consequences.
Let's educate ourselves and become familiar with the many social media platforms available today. Let us be mindful that not everything we see is real or factual; instead, we should learn to verify the information to determine whether it is dependable or not. Let's raise awareness about these many social media networks and teach them proper netiquette.
Monday: Why are you so stressful?
waking up in the morning at 6 am, fixing bedding, washing my face, gargling some water, and then drinking a glass of water to hydrate my body. This typical scenario can be observed in the lives of many people. But on the other hand, there are those who are struggling to wake up early and do the things mentioned first thing in the morning.
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about some reasons and normal instances where we can say that Monday is really a busy day, if not the busiest, right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
Some people find Mondays awful. Well, this is not new since this day is really tiring even when you have just started the day. You have lots of things to do. Also, people who are employed during the week often look forward to the weekend as a time to unwind or engage in recreational activities. Not everyone looks forward to the prospect of returning to a routine that includes returning to work or school. On the other hand, if you have so much fun the evening before, like drinking alcohol, you can have a hangover on Monday morning, and again, this might become another struggle. In the worst-case scenario, you have something very important to report or do that day, and yet you are still there, lying in bed, even when it is already 7 a.m. So you have no choice but to rush things.
Moreover, why is it so common for individuals to complain about Mondays rather than their jobs? Most people save their free time for what they want to do on the weekends. From experience, Monday is usually the beginning of a long week of what individuals have to accomplish. In order to have a positive outlook on Monday mornings, one life objective is to find the proper job and stop doing things that make you dread, unhappy, or exhausted. Life is too brief to waste even a sliver of it, let alone waste it. If how we feel on Monday morning is any indication, it has become an excellent indicator of the little, gradual adjustments all of us need to concentrate on.
In a hectic day, individuals tend to become more sluggish. Only the lazy can enjoy time spent doing nothing on Monday. This is something I know firsthand. As a child, Monday has always been greeted with a warm glance since I used to be so enthusiastic and look forward to going to school every Monday. But as time goes on and more responsibilities arise, my daily routine cannot cope with the struggles I am experiencing. However, after changing routines and finding suitable ones, I decided to be optimistic and like my work and responsibilities so much that Mondays are now considered to be one of the best days of the week for me.
In the grand scheme of things, isn't it just another weekday? For the most part, no. In reality, though, those who like their work do not need any additional motivation to relish Mondays. That's all there is to it. Nevertheless, if you can't alter the viewpoint, alter the field of vision. I hope you get it.
Our mindset is all that matters. We love to despise it, but we may really be in love with it in the back of our minds. Stressful times are ahead, but this is also the beginning of a better you. Mondays might be seen in a different light. Sunday is the, which signifies the conclusion of the weekend and the beginning of a new one on Monday. Outstanding things are being done by many great individuals all across the globe. There is a lot to be thrilled about in the world on Mondays. So enjoy it and be productive.
Seeing as how Monday is considered the busiest day, we can still enjoy it and be productive as much as the other days of the week. We just have to be optimistic rather than lazy, because, like I said, lazy people tend to enjoy lazy things. So if you feel unproductive, finish your coffee now and start working. Stretch your arms and the rest of your body and smile as you start this day. Have a great Monday to all of us.
Shopping Spree: Is Buying Online Better?
Some people would not take it seriously but shopping actually has health benefits. For a lot of people just like me, we go shopping with when we’re stressed in order to clear our minds or have something to look forward into. It also boosts or motivates me to become productive because I always reward myself after small progress.
With the high technology in the current generation. E-commerce continuously thrive and became easier and easier to be entered by many people. Nowadays, there are multiple shopping online platforms available in the market. It had a negative to the in-store businesses because many buyers opted to shop online because of many reasons.
The question is, is buying online better and how?
There are advantages and disadvantages of buying online and it is up to us, consumers, on what we think is more applicable to our situation, lifestyle, and schedule.
**Some of the advantages of buying online are:**
The top reason is because of convenience. Going out and getting a transportation is time consuming for many people especially when we have lots of work and responsibilities. With online shopping, you can now buy whatever it is that you want to buy just by sitting on the corner or even before you sleep.
It is also now easier to compare the prices with other shops. I used to do this before when shopping in-stores and it is actually hard to jump from one store to the other and it is quite embarrassing to the employees as well. But with online shopping, one click and we can now quickly assess their differences with regards to price.
Most products that I buy online are cheaper that those sold at physical stores. It is maybe because of the smaller expenses incurred by the business. Selling online is also cost-efficient to their side.
Another good reason is that you don’t have to mingle along in the crowd. That is somehow tiring when you see lots of people going around especially at peak seasons. With online shopping, there’s no need to fall in line in the counter as well.
There’s also no more pressure on deciding whether to buy or not. I don’t if it is just me but sometimes I was pressured to buy something because the sales lady won’t stop following me or watching me and I think it is embarrassing if I just leave the item on the store when I actually asked a lot of things about it already.
On the other side, let us also look into its disadvantages:
There is a possibility of fraud or scams in online buying. Sometimes, online sellers are taking advantage to their customers and they don’t ship the right items.
There might also be delays in shipments.
Online shopping can immerse you into using your phone for too long because there are lots of products that you can see and you can’t stop looking into them.
Some local businesses are given less support.
It is sometimes hard to have inquiries because the seller is not responsive and the information are not sufficient.
Shopping is not bad as long as you now your limits and you know how to prioritize. Shopping online may be a lot better but if we can, we should also buy to our local businesses so that they can also thrive.

What we can learn outside the school?
We all come to school for a purpose - to learn. In the four corners of a classroom we come to sit and listen to our instructors to gain knowledge and develop our potential. In our seats, we read thick and thin books to test and improve our understanding. That is what we perceive as learning. However, is learning only confined inside our classrooms? Is learning restricted to sitting, reading a book and trying to memorize and analyze what was written? Probably, not.
**Learning is not limited**, it goes beyond the gates of the school. It goes beyond words written and words spoken. There is learning in new experiences that we acquire. There are lessons in different places we visit. As a student, who is willing to learn more than what the school can offer, I should be craving for knowledge not learnt from books. I should be yearning for things not part of my everyday routine to learn, learn and learn more. Fortunately, the university gave us an opportunity to experience learning different from the conventional.
During my first year, our instructor gave us the opportunity to have an educational tour in different businesses in the capital for one of our subjects. The trip cost a lot. This made me realize that we need to compromise some things to learn things not usually learnt in the classroom. We learn for a price. This also reminds us that to make most out of the learning experience by preparing our minds in order to absorb everything.
One of the places we went to was the Department of Finance (DOF). Some of their employees presented us information about the department. The presenters taught about what they really do. Some people think that DOF makes money but they do not. They make fiscal policies or ways of the government to earn funds though taxes and other sources. They evaluate if the country should loan money outside or just inside the country to local bank and how much they should loan. They also facilitate in the raising of taxes.
We also went to Philippine Stocks Exchange (PSE). I was amazed of the view of tall, modern buildings and clean surroundings. Through the PSE, I learned that even young people like me could not just save money but earn more money through investments. To make sure we avoid fake investment, there is PSE where we can have an account for investments to buy and sell.
Even when we encountered a lot of problems, we were able to conduct that learn from the tour and even finish it with smiles on our faces. Overall, I learned a lot of new things.
I learned that new technologies greatly contribute in making production efficient and effective. It reduces time, produces more and relieves work. Therefore, in production, a company must focus in developing their own technologies that fit their products.
I learned that there are a lot of choices of fund sourcing but there are also a lot of risks. Therefore, I must make myself educated on how to manage my finances.
I learned that in everything, I must follow a high standard so I can make sure that whatever I do is of high quality and does not compromise sustainability.
I learned that saving money is different from earning. Saving is setting aside money but earning is making it grow. From now on, I will think of ways to earn more for my future.
It was a great experience. I never thought I could have experienced that in my life. I was inspired to do better so I could work on big companies like the ones we have visited. I motivated myself that I would come back there not as a student but as an employee to practice my course.
How important is decision making?
Here and there, making decisions is everywhere. Whether it is the shirt you will wear this day or what food you are going to eat, you have to make decisions. Sometimes it's urgent and sometimes it is not.
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about decision making, which is such a timely topic to talk about, just right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
**Importance of leadership**
The ability to make decisions is at the core of effective leadership. To be a leader, one must take responsibility for their own actions and delegate authority to subordinates. They must still be able to act decisively when given the opportunity to do so, as well as relay commands from others in a decisive manner. This is because irregular decision-making may lead to devastating results.
The ultimate choice is made by a leader. Before making a final choice, a leader takes the time to hear from all of his or her employees, colleagues, and friends. Once a final choice has been made, a blueprint is drawn up and a thorough analysis is conducted. It is all the responsibility of a manager to ensure that the project is finished in a timely manner.
In a nation, those who are in the highest positions are the ones who make the most crucial decisions. Therefore, as citizens of the country, we have to choose carefully whom we will vote for because they are going to lead us for several years. Of course, we want the best things, so we also have to choose the best leaders.
Importance in management
Managers must be able to make sound decisions under pressure. You, your career, and your organization will all be affected by the choices you make. As a result, it's critical to understand what decision-making abilities you should have and how to acquire them.
Your organization's decision-making process is essential to its sustainability. Make sure everyone adheres to the method you've established. When it comes to making a decision, there are as many options as there are individuals to choose from. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Your decision-making session will turn into anarchy if you don't have some kind of framework in place. Standardize your procedures. Centralize your decision-making processes so that everyone is on the same page.
The importance of time and planning in decision-making
When it comes to making decisions, timing is critical since every choice has a deadline. You must be able to act on the spur of the moment and make rapid judgments. In order to accomplish a project in a timely manner, it is important to manage your time well. Your time management abilities may be honed by putting them into practice on a regular basis. Make a timetable, put it to the test, and then fine-tune it to meet your needs.
The importance of teamwork in decision-making
Making decisions together is critical. To be successful in management and leadership, you'll need to work with others to find solutions to problems and develop strategies. This might include working with the HR manager to figure out the best strategy to retain personnel and improve the productivity of your team. Many additional abilities are required for effective cooperation, including logical thinking and the ability to lead, among others.
In a nutshell, reasoning is a kind of rationality. The act of doing it gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you have not hurried into a decision, but that you have carefully considered the matter. You have a greater sense of self-assurance. You'll be able to back up your argument. Make a list of advantages and disadvantages. When you achieve your goals, you are filled with joy. On several fronts, being unreasonable is bad for your mental health. Your eyes water and you feel dizzy. You are mocked by others around you. Your argument or behavior is doomed since you didn't give it enough consideration. Your skepticism grows, not your self-assurance. So make use of the things mentioned here to help you make better decisions next time.
Introversion and Extroversion: Fine Line Between
Between and among individuals, there are distinct qualities we could find. Some are showy and have confidence as high as their height. Some have low self-esteem. Some are in between, not so confident and not so shy. But among the three, what are you?
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about extroverts and introverts and something in between known as ambiverts, just right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
What are extrovert, introvert, and ambivert?
When it comes to **extroverts**, it's all about scope. For introverts, depth is everything. When an extrovert makes a lot of new acquaintances, they tend to lose them fast, too, and then find new ones. That is the nature of some extroverts.
Furthermore, an extrovert's problem-solving method is to enlist the help of others. There is a risk of incorrect conclusions or embarrassment if the socialite does not complete the thought process before speaking.
On the other side, **introverts** have a smaller circle of friends, but they tend to be more observant and stick around for longer. When introverts speak, their opinions are frequently well-considered and worth listening to on their own merits because of their meticulous preparation.
Moreover, when it comes to being alone, introverts are self-assured and comfortable with it. They don't talk much about their personal lives. Those with whom they feel most comfortable disclosing their deepest secrets.
They are often misunderstood. People assume they're pretentious because they're quiet and timid. But they have excellent listening skills.
They could be an expert at hiding secrets and an excellent counsel. You can rely on them, and if you need a loyal buddy, they're the ones you turn to. However, they have a hard time dealing with unfavorable comments. They may contemplate it for hours on end. Emotional, but also sensitive, they are. If they don't like someone, it might be difficult for them to speak up. But here's another intriguing trait of introverts is their tendency toward optimism. Extremely upbeat, and often serves as a source of inspiration for others.
Lastly, we have **ambiverts**. An ambivert is a person who is both an extrovert and an introvert at the same time. It is a moment when introversion and extroversion come together in one individual. To be in a group and being alone may be both enjoyable for you at the relatively similar time. At the same time as being incredibly skilled at conversing with people, you may speak to yourself like an introvert. Even if you take your time and consider your words carefully, you will sometimes say the wrong thing. Anyone, introvert or extrovert, may be worked with. It's not difficult to figure out what motivates other people.
What are some scenarios where we can see these types of people?
**Alone in a strange place.**
It is more common for extroverts to become associated with persons they should have avoided, and I also believe that extroverts are more prone to get involved in toxic relationships.
**Telling someone a secret and assuming they would keep it to themselves.**
Women tend to keep their secrets to themselves, whereas males prefer keeping their secrets to themselves. If you're an extrovert, the temptation to spill everything to your closest buddy is strong. Also, extroverts are more likely to get into difficulties with this than introverts.
**Any scenario in which you are required to remain quiet for a certain period of time**.
Those who have been admonished to keep their mouths shut the most are likely to be the most outgoing.
**Boredom.**
An introvert could regard it as a long-overdue opportunity for some alone time. If an extrovert has nothing else to do, they will get anxious and nervous.
**The influence of one's contemporaries.**
Everyone will struggle with this one. A rejected introvert is likely to be unhappy, but they will not demand as much conformity as extroverts and want to be themselves wherever possible. In contrast, extroverts are more prone than introverts to cave to peer pressure because they have a greater need for social acceptability and recognition.
**Self-denial.**
Extroverts have less tolerance and a greater desire for prolonged socializing, making it more probable that they will leave one toxic relationship and immediately return to another one of the same sorts within a few weeks.
*In a nutshell, an extrovert is someone who has more confidence among the three, and it is followed by ambiverts who lie in between, and also, we have introverts or shy ones, and most of the time, they like being alone. That's all!*
Mariposa: Posting Drama in Social Media
**More drama. More engagement. More hot topics of the town.**
Mosang is such a legendary character that also has a lot of cousins out there. Well, there is no doubt about it because Filipinos are really good at making terms that sometimes depict harsh truths about things like this and like that. Speaking of Mosang's cousins, another one's story is about to be unveiled.
When it comes to entertainment news, nothing misses the keen eyes of Mariposa, who happens to be based in the world's most social media-savvy community. This is @senyoritakayzee, and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about the character that loves posting drama on social media, just right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
Some people's lives must be so uninteresting, unfulfilling, or stagnant that they believe that trying to be like Marisol, who is always on top of the latest social media concerns and making fun of them, would elevate their position. I do not mean to offend, but most of the people whom I have noticed who are doing such things really seemed to perceive themselves as cool after doing what they did.
Anyway, you cannot blame them sometimes because some people are too showy when it comes to posting on social media that even the pain they feel in the head or to one or more of their teeth is updated in their social media. And sometimes, others make these things an issue, adding more drama, until such time it becomes bigger, and then boom, there's a hot topic over the internet again. Sometimes trending, and sometimes, not.
**Most of the time, it's simply basic laziness or boredom.**
Some find it appealing because of the urge, anticipation, or suspense it elicits. To avoid addressing the truth of their own lives, they utilize it as a coping mechanism to avoid being confronted by their own doings.
**But why do many people relish dishing and overseeing somebody else's business so much?**
It's natural for us to mingle, make small talk, and converse during meals and meetings since we're social beings. However, it could be wrong to spread rumors and gossip in order to prove your presence. Regardless of one's social status or occupation, some individuals are prone to gossip.
Insecure extroverts on the lookout for attention are the ones who can be considered as the most common perpetrators of gossip. There is a need for them to be surrounded by others who chatter. For them, they should be aware of the juicy and intimate aspects of the private lives of some individuals, as if it were a solution to the hole in their lives that they are filling. Another important component is curiosity. While gossiping, you'll observe that folks that do so sometimes have nothing better to do than it.
It's given that some people post regularly on social media. That is who they are, how their brand is, and how they are seen by others. These people make no excuses or attempt to conceal their actions. But again, there is always a limitation for everything.
However, we cannot always dictate what others want to do. So the best thing to do instead is to raise awareness and let them know and understand what is right and what is not so that at the end of the day, they will not regret to whatever they have done.
**That's a little taste of what it's like to be Mariposa.**
As a hobby, they like posting things online. As a result, it affects those who become their topic. Sharing something on the internet is not bad, but not at all times. There is always a limitation for everything so don't make things worse for others.
When it is too much or it is not really good and true, do not do or post it. Listening is a simple way to show how you care. As long as you're giving real advice, you won't be making anybody feel any worse off. Because everyone is entitled to show and do good things for others, not to be the reason of others' despair.
You are worthy
No matter how hard life is, and regardless of how people look at you, know that you are not alone and that you are more than enough. Don't mind what others have to say because you are more than what they think about you. **You are loved, and you are worthy.**
This is @senyoritakayzee, and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks explicitly about being worthy, just right here in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
Yesterday, we learned the value of commitment, and as mentioned in that previous article, it is something that really matters, that making a personal commitment is somehow deciding about putting your relationship first above your own wants or desires.
Well, today, allow me to let you feel your worth. I know that life seems to become unfair sometimes due to things that make us feel down. But do not let it pull you deeper into the ground. Instead, cheer up because there will always be someone like me who will let you feel that you are worthy no matter what others have to say to you.
Probably you have questions like: ***"With everyone of my friends and family believing that I am worthless, how can I feel worthy?"***
I think you're being much too hard on yourself right now. You are the only one who can assess your own actions. Every action, no matter how confident you believe you seem, is based on the energy you put out there. You may be causing those around you to feel bad about you. So what I can advise is that be assertive or strong. Assertiveness is a skill that can be learned.
Invest time and effort in improving your abilities. The best way to keep yourself motivated is to look in the mirror and remind yourself that you are competent, confident, and gorgeous enough to face the world and show what you've got. Fear is just a word. It can be overcome. So know your worth, chin up, and be confident of who you are.
**What kind of image do you wish to project to others?**
You cannot please everyone. You may feel so down but don't worry too much about what other people think of you. Picture out your objectives and inspirational sayings on a daily basis by creating to lift up your mood and be happy.
Spend time focusing on yourself and achieving your goals. Make an effort also to sit down and talk to the individuals who have undervalued you, especially if they are members of your family. Things can be solved by simply having a talk to each other. If they continue to belittle you, don't let it bother you. Avoid squandering your limited resources on pointless activities. Instead, focus on yourself and what you can do. Don't plant a seed of anger in your heart. Show them love and care.
**Why do you think you aren't good enough?**
People may have treated you poorly because they felt you fell short of their standards. Anyway, emotional intelligence books are also a good place to start reading. Feeding the mind with knowledge that can be helpful to us can boost our self-esteem. You may also consider attending counseling sessions and taking part in self-esteem programs to allow yourself some time to reflect.
You should be unaffected by what other people think or say about you. People change, and so do their situations. As a result, you need not be too much concerned about it unless they are too much where you need to stand up for yourself and fight for what you think is just and right in the situation.
Put up the effort and make an effort to be content. Make a habit of writing in a diary every night before going to sleep about the things you did during the day. Every morning, spend a few minutes doing some exercise. Because doing these things could make you feel better, could make you feel your worth, and that you are loved no matter who and what you are.
Commitment needs commitment as well
**Commitment is something that matters.** Making a firm decision to prioritize your relationship over your own needs comes down to making a personal commitment. After a disagreement, you are convinced that the other person is being dishonest. You make a conscious decision to show your partner kindness, dignity, and respect.
Respecting your partner's commitments is an act of self-dedication. A lack of successful relationships around you can make you fear that your own are doomed.
Commitment is commonly used to describe a level of exclusivity that varies from relationship to relationship. It is generally praised in interpersonal relationships because of the image of permanence they convey.
Is it selfish to expect a commitment?
In a relationship, it is not selfish to expect others to fulfill their responsibilities. It is in our nature to form romantic, economic, and practical ties with other people, and we do it all the time.
As long as you and your partner are still in love, he promises to do all he can to keep it going until the issues that arise between you become insurmountable. Even if his excuses are absurd, you won't be able to stop him from departing you out of the blue. It all boils down to how much he values his word and how much he values his integrity.
Betrayal and abandonment are common even among people who have made a promise to each other.
We're all prone to mistakes. We all make mistakes. We all have a tendency to trip and fall. Mistakes are a part of life. And so, life goes on as usual. We grow as we go along, which is a wonderful thing. We grow and improve as a result. Nothing is gained by taking a risk. Life's ups and downs are an inevitable part of it.
As a result, the first step on the road to commitment is to alter your frame of mind. The first step is to retrain the distorted mentality. You're not lowering your standards; rather, you're learning to appreciate the reality that's in front of you.
Then go one step further and surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself. Embrace the present moment.
Do you have a significant other who lavishes you with attention?
It's a good time. Don't let the fear of collapsing keep you from enjoying the present. If you're worried about whether or not it will last, you're wasting your time. You'll cross the bridge when you get there. And you will, I assure you. It's impossible to see the bright side of things when you're consumed by fear. In the end, you'll be amazed at your strength and ability to succeed. After launching, you'll never know for sure how strong you really are.
Believe in yourself and your abilities. Be confident in your own abilities and talents, and don't wait for others to tell you so.
Also, it's very classy. Moreover, you are one-of-a-kind. Because the more you improve, the more attractive you become to potential suitors. So, please take care of yourself. It's attractive when someone exudes confidence.
It's anybody's right.
If you're going to make a commitment, it's your right. If you don't feel secure in an open relationship, ask for a long-term commitment. It has nothing to do with anything. It's also about how you and your partner interact with one another. In a relationship, you aren't there just to please your partner; the same goes for the other way around. Both should be aware that your needs are just as essential as his/hers, and he/she should be the one to make this clear. Asking for assurance and security is a good idea, so be honest with your partner about your worries.
Fireflies: The Light that Shines Within
Did you ever wonder when you are still a child those that flies at night and have lights on their tail? Probably you did because I did wonder that too. In fact, I even thought they eat a small bulb or something like that, which is why they emit light. Anyway, we are going to talk about them in today's episode of **Senyoritalks**.
Fireflies are tiny insects that generate light from their bodies as a method of attracting mates. Each firefly flashes brightly because it's their mating call at that moment. Each species of firefly features a distinctive pattern that it uses to draw in a mate. Fireflies have a luminous appearance due to the substance known as Luciferin, which is found within the abdomen of fireflies. These small insects are particularly alluring in the dark once they begin to emit light and become more visible.
**By the way, have you ever heard of Tinker Bell?**
She shines like a firefly and leaves a path of pixie dust behind her, but just so you know, she is not a firefly. But if you have watched the film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure already, you might have known Blaze, and yes, Blaze is a firefly.
Going back to the topic, since I was a child, I cannot remember exactly if I have seen on or witness any fireflies already, but I have heard some stories about fireflies from my other people who were ready when they witness fireflies before. I wanted to find out how lovely they were, but I've come to terms with the fact that I won't be able to view them unless I go to places where they are present. In Philippines, I think there are fireflies somewhere in Palawan and I am excited to visit the place in the future.
**What are some fascinating facts about fireflies?**
Fireflies emit light in a very wide variety of colors, including green, yellow, blue-ish, and orange. And did you know that fireflies are found in over 2000 different species? Yes, that is right. Each species has its own pattern of flashes.
I'm aware that they need a connection to their natural environment. In the event that you just destroy a piece of land that has fireflies, the fireflies are affected. They do not relocate to a different plot of land; rather, they simply vanish. The loss of firefly habitat is one factor contributing to the vanishing of firefly populations.
The chemical change that produces light may now be replicated in an exceeding laboratory setting. Believe it or not, fireflies are still gathered for this chemical, despite being produced synthetically, which adds to the reduction in their population.
In the event that your children capture fireflies and place them in a jar, ensure that the jar has air openings in it. As for wetness, like grass with dew on it or a wet towel, make sure that there's some moisture. Also, check that the kids release the firefly before going to bed. Fireflies have lives of their own like us, and if they are kept within the jar for an excessive amount of time, they will transform into dead fireflies, which is not any fun at all. After all, after the sun begins to set, fireflies are not nearly as entertaining. We had a rule that if you caught something, you had to release it before sleeping over.
Fireflies are possibly not present in our area, but I am hopeful that I could be able to see them someday, whether or not it is not in our area but in another location somewhere. Perhaps as a result of the continual or enormous civilization that has occurred within the culture. Anyway, it is not just their aesthetic view that makes them special. It is also their contributions to the environment that makes them more wonderful.
***"Fireflies are tiny messengers that whisper in darkness: Don't lose hope because magic does exist."***
How can a student make the most of their work immersion?
**How can a student make the most of their work immersion?**
Being a student in third year college, I cannot help but think that the time where we will finally under our on-the-job training. As I imagine my future, I have also reminisced my past experience of working in an office during my high school. It was unforgettable and a memory I would always look back on.
I still remember the things we did. I worked on a cooperative office. Together with my fellow immersionists, we organize loan documents of their clients by putting them one by one in envelopes then labeled them. I even volunteered for a job which is to input information about student clients who applied for a savings account in an MS Excel document.
We even helped the office roll calendars which the cooperative will distribute in their upcoming event. I volunteered to check receipts from the clients who deposited savings and other particulars, helping my fellow student. After checking the receipts, I filled in the information in promissory notes for the loan applications. We were also taught by our supervisor of how to compute service fee, insurance and penalties for loans in the cooperative. We were able to do the things we were taught and greatly helped the office.
As someone who aspires to be a professional worker, work immersion is a significant opportunity for me to learn and experience my future career. Therefore, I made sure not to waste it. How?
First to immerse oneself at work, I have to fully involve myself in every office activity and not just let myself watch on the corner. However, I should not only force myself right into it but include myself in the office atmosphere with carefulness, tact and professionalism.
Second, in every organization, there is a system to be followed. To avoid disrupting the order, I should follow their policies and regulations that maintain. In order to immerse myself, I have to learn how they do things and apply it to myself. The officers will be professionals. They are educated and a lot more experienced than I do. That is enough reason for me to respect them and recognize their authority by properly executing their orders. I will listen intently to their instructions to accomplish my work activities as they know more of the office activities. It would be good to take notes on their instructions in order not to forget.
Third, at work, they require skills so I have to work hard to put them into good use but they value attitude more. There will be different kinds of people I will encounter but I will work harder to show respect and courtesy. I intend to build rapport at work by being honest, well-mannered and considerate. As much as I can, I shall willingly lend a helping hand to those in need. In everything I do, I will carefully think about how will it affect my work and my co-workers. Volunteering may be hard but it is something we should practice. Grab the chance in your work immersion to volunteer for a work and do well.
Fourth, it easier to work with someone who is approachable and welcoming. To be someone who m everyone can easily get along with, I will try my best to be enthusiastic by expressing my happy personality. I intend to smile wholeheartedly as I always do.
With hope and expectations to learn in my work immersion, I will push myself to make the most out of my time there and be a mature student. Work immersions is a one-time thing during your high school. Make the most out of it. Make friends and memories. Most importantly, learn.
Nat'l Barbie Day: Barbie Girl In A Barbie World
Today marks a special day of an iconic character that captivates the heart of many individuals, especially the kids everywhere else on the globe. It is National Barbie Day, and this is what we are going to talk about in today's episode of Senyoritalks.
It was on the **9th day of March in the year 1959** when a very attractive bombshell toy debuted at American International Toy Fair in New York. It was Barbie, and since then, it has become famous and started having overwhelming demand. Well, who wouldn't be captivated by its attractive features?
As a child, have you ever played barbie dolls before? There's nothing wrong with whether you are a boy or a girl because, in fact, it has a male counterpart known as Ken. And even before, I have been singing its lyrics even though I can't still pronounce well some of the words in its lyrics. The song is entitled **Barbie Girl**, a song by a **Danish dance-pop group known as Aqua**, which was released in 1997. It's more than two decades already since the day it was released, yet it is still one of my favorites and of others as well.
`I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world. Life in plastic it's fantastic. You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere. Imagination, life is your creation.`
This song is pretty much famous too in Tiktok, and did you know that on the 14th day of August in the year 2018, an American Singer known as **Ava Max** released a promotional single entitled **Not Your Barbie Girl**? And in this song, you may notice the twist.
`Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world. I ain't plastic, call me classic. You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body. Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no.`
Anyway, In 1959, the first commercially available Barbie dolls were released. It was love at first sight for a lot of kids, as well as their parents. As this was Ruth Handler's year, she came up with what was is now the most mainstream fashion doll ever.
Based on some research I did, I found out that Barbie was named after Ruth Handler's daughter Barbara. At the time, the majority of girls were still occupied with paper or paperboard cutouts as their primary toy. Little girls' desire for playthings and role-playing options was quickly overshadowed by the number of baby dolls accessible in retail stores.
I know a girl who is a huge fan of barbie dolls, and it has helped her with a lot of her creative endeavors. For starters, it piqued her sense of fashion and design, and she's always been drawn to the visual arts. After she got her first Barbie, she continued to play with them, dressing her with different clothes hand-sewn by her. Aside from sewing the clothes, she made them herself using scraps of fabric that she had around the house.
Of course, there are those who hate it and telling negative things. But it is really nice to hear from women who were inspired by Barbie to succeed in all areas of life, including making new friends and finding fruitful jobs. Ruth Handler and Mattel, the company, founded by Ruth Handler, developed one of the biggest and best role models for young girls. In the toy industry, sales speak for themselves, as Barbie dolls continue to be the best-ever moneymakers in this industry.
Overall, a lot of people don't like Barbie because of the way her body looks. Barbie, on the other hand, is a doll that is meant to be dressed up in different outfits, not to resemble a human being. She appears more normal when she is dressed in various dresses. If we can take the positives from this, we can look forward to achieving our dreams in the future. And when it comes to your children, make sure they understand the value and purpose of it, rather than the other way around. Regardless, have a wonderful National Barbie Day!
Marisol: Instigating Drama Over Something
**Excitement. Thrill. Engagement.**
In a world where anyone can be anything, some people choose to be Marisol, instigating drama over something even if it is unnecessary. There are lots of reasons behind it. Wanna know why? Let's talk about it in today's episode of Senyoritalks.
The world and life are, in reality, sometimes dull, perilous, and intolerable. And there are some individuals that, even if it does not make sense, they ought to be constantly pressed for time for some reason. Sometimes, in need of a constant rush.
There must be some individuals out there who can't imagine a life without being involved in some kind of drama, and if there's not one, they invent one. They can't or won't change anything, as is evident.
They get excited when they hear a new news regardless if it is legit or made out of mouth just to make an issue with someone else's life. It makes them feel alive as if energizing fuel travels within their body and makes them really excited to instigate, adding more flavors to the issue and causing unnecessary drama out of it.
It is as if a thrilling movie for them. Well, we can't deny that sometimes, this is what we like when watching dramas on television. Some get angry and very much annoyed to the Marisol in a certain soap opera. But sometimes, some people also like them because they add more flavors to the show, causing more drama over it which satisfies many people who are avid fans of things like this.
Moreover, they crave some attention. They want to engage with the drama and play the part of someone who is provoking another one to add more flame to the fire. I do not really know what runs through their mind as to why they are doing it, but there must really be a reason for this one. But to simply put these things, there is no one definite answer that suits all sorts of drama queens.
Well, growing up in a chaotic environment and being used to stress and conflict are two of the most typical causes. It is common for people to get bothered when there is a sudden halt in action. A common sign of it is the itching for a fight, which is described as an irritated, suspicious, or even violent mood.
For the most part, it's just plain boredom or a bit of lethargy. It appeals to some because of the feeling of compulsion, anticipation, or suspense it might elicit. It's also a way for them to avoid confronting the truth of their own life because sometimes, they are the ones who are afraid to their own mask of reality.
They just lack the confidence to place the blame somewhere and never on themselves. When anything goes wrong, it's usually due to this or that, but the individual responsible is blind to their own role in the mishap. Overanalyzing, minding one's own business, and gossiping are all behaviors that people like, and they often place the blame for these behaviors on others. I simply don't understand why some individuals believe so highly of themselves and how they can be so sensitive to petty things and the kind of ego they have. I do not have a problem with it because, in fact, it is theirs.
Overall, that's a glimpse into the life of being Marisol. They like acting as a pastime. It has become a part of their life or even a habit that they could hardly stop. I may be wrong, but I am open to be corrected. But let me share with everyone to make your pastime by helping others overcome their difficulties, not make it worse. Be very cautious but also resolute. Showing affection is as simple as listening. But do not instigate. Just give pure and genuine ideas or pieces of advice to help others feel at ease, not worse. Because everyone deserves a place with peace of mind, not somewhere else where they are the center of attraction for the wrong reason.

Aside from the wide choices of beaches in this place, the coral reefs are healthy which makes it perfect for snorkeling. This activity is accessible to all so never miss a chance to experience the aquatic life in order to see colorful fishes and breathtaking coral gardens under the sea.
Many people visit the place especially those from Japan, Korea, and Russia. For those who are not used to heat, the heat and humid in Guam might be uncomfortable at first.
If you are a Filipino and you don’t want some big adjustments, you can jump and stay in this country which is may be similar to the Philippines at some point.
Did you know that because of the major proportion of Guam's population is made up of Filipinos, the Filipino language has become the most commonly spoken language in the territory?
I guess you can consider this country now if you want to migrate or travel.
I hope I was able to spare some idea. See you next time!
One Month Without Rice
**THIS IS A CONFESSION**. I hardly ever talked about this before and now I think I’m ready to disclose a bit of what I did last 2020, when I was so lost and couldn’t even understand who I am.
2020 is the year that I think I had so many mistakes and it only became clear to me right now, after two long years. Looking back, I had so many insecurities and problems with myself and everything around me. Now that I think I got better, I’m going to share a piece of my pie.
In my first year in college, stress eating was my survival technique. I had so much pressure and the environment was too serious so I eat and eat, I did not have any money left as I arrive in the house every school day. That’s where I started to gain weight.
But, I wasn’t actually fat, I was just overreacting and was so insecure of my body when I didn’t even have to. So during the height of pandemic, I got crazy in our house and did a lot of things like doing random work out routines which I’m not sure of if I’m doing it the right way and I tried a diet as well. I don’t know if it’s an achievement but there’s a month that I didn’t eat rice at all.
When losing weight, it is actually an option to cut rice in your diet but your meal plan must still be healthy enough to support your body and nutrition – may this is where I flopped because my meal plan wasn’t sufficient at all. The result? I got thinner but I didn’t get healthy.
**For those who want to lose weight, you can follow this tips:**
• Don’t eat rice but make sure that you eat foods that are adequate to support your body.
• You can eat rice during the day but skip it in your dinner.
• Try eating brown rice instead of the white rice. It is more nutritious but it is less appetizing than the white rice.
Brown rice is highly heart-friendly since it contains a high concentration of natural oils. Brown rice is beneficial for weight loss because of its high fiber content, which helps to encourage regular bowel movements. Brown rice can be substituted for white rice in your diet and another advantage of it is that it can help reduce your chance of developing Type 2 diabetes.
“Brown rice is healthier since the refining process only removes the hull of the rice kernel, leaving its nutrition intact.” – A quote from holistic health guru Mickey Mehta.
Going back to my story, when I wasn’t happy with the result, I tried eating rice again but it’s like my body got used to not eating it and my appetite isn’t going back to the way it was. Well, there were many factors affecting my situation before so today, I am happy that even if I’m still healing from those experiences, I got better and I care a lot more for my health now.
For those who are having the same problem that I had, I want you to love your body and your whole self. If you want to achieve something, it isn’t bad but never put your health on the line just to accomplish it.
Why are rabbits so cute?
Nowadays, I have seen a lot of people, both online and in-person, who were hooked on having rabbits as their pets. Some are even uploading photos of their rabbits online using their social media accounts, and honestly, I find them so cute.
So I have decided that in today's episode of Senyoritalks, I would talk about them and provide some reasons as to why they look so cute. Are you excited? I am excited too.
Rabbits are endearing due to their fluffy ears and large, wide eyes. In addition to being cuddly, they are also adorable since they are so little. Most people compare them to cuddly pets. The fact that they have fluffy ears and a constantly twitching nose are two further distinguishing characteristics. All of them have a unique personalities, with some being quite friendly and happy to be caressed, while others are grouchy and averse to being handled. They have varying responses to various persons and might have a preference for some humans over others.
Whenever I see our rabbit and touch him, he gets incredibly excited and runs along in loops, and yet when I pet him, he sits very still lays his head to the side. That kind of moment is really sweet, and a lot of this kind of experience can also be found online as shared by others who have rabbits as well.
It's because of the way our brains operate that we find creatures like rabbits and other little animals so endearing, just like in this picture.
As you can see, the rabbit is so cute, and it makes me want to touch its soft and delicate body. The eyes are crystal clear, the ears are fluffy and it's really adorable.
As human individuals, we could be hardwired to feel fondness for and a strong desire to like little animals and love them. This is a response to their cute size, softness, and several other characteristics that make it difficult to ignore them. Animals, like rabbits, have a similar instinct to protect and care and they are absolutely adorable and deserving to be loved and to be taken with well care.
With regards to affection, they show their devotion by following you around, standing on their hind legs with their front feet on the ground, and licking some parts of your body when they want to be petted. Rabbits do display love in their own way. It is not as obvious as watching a dog waggle its tail.
As a result, it is hard not to fall in love with a rabbit that still has a lot of its infant traits and plays on our innate need to nurture the weaker and more vulnerable among us. They are, once again, adorable, and they are truly so cute.
Self-deception: Believing in your own lies?
In the premise where you insist on believing in something even without evidence or anything else to support it, the term self-deception enters.
Consider this example to make things here a little bit easier to understand. This is what it would be like if someone said something was unpleasant, but in reality, it was not.
When such an individual is presented with a logically sound counterargument, Sometimes, it hurts their ego and they rage after being confronted with the truth. Because of those blatant lies, they endanger the general population. Even when they recognize there is no truth, they refuse to admit they are mistaken and continue to believe what they are told. They were so sure that their assertion was true that they convinced themselves that it was, even if it was not.
*We are guided by an instinctive desire to maintain and grow in all situations by intuition like this. This statement is being disregarded for a variety of reasons and a sort of deception is given sometimes.*
Moreover, when a person refuses to recognize what is real because of low self-esteem or incorrect or generalized views, this is known as self-deception. Another example is that, every time a smoker hears himself or herself telling them not to smoke a cigarette, it's a wake-up call. However, a person who is addicted to smoking does pick up the cigarette and inhale the smoke. They are deceiving themselves here.
A belief in one's own certainty where everyone has been mistaken at some point. The difference is whether or not they are willing to confess it. They perceive themselves as excellent individuals. Society, not nature, determines what is considered good. Another thing that could exist is that it's not aware of your presence if so. Somehow, for one praying for "another" to make a big play is the same as expecting oneself to improve one's performance without taking some actions.
In reality, we tell ourselves false things and make excuses to avoid dealing with our problems when we don't want to confront them. We weave a web of untrue ideas to keep us safe and to save us from having to face the challenges of growth and change.
It is our duty to be truthful about our own failures and errors, since everyone else has done the same. One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is confront our monsters and our anxieties head on. So, if you find yourself looking for reasons to blame, take a step back and examine what's really going on inside of you. Self-awareness and honesty are the best ways to remove the weed grass from the root. Therefore, don't be afraid to be honest with yourself.
Overall, the first step in preventing oneself from becoming a victim of deceit is to avoid intentionally misleading others. Those who tell lies to others are more likely to tell lies to themselves. Understand that your ego is responsible for creating perceptions to discuss things, painting experiences, and so on. Embrace the present and use your mind to solve difficulties to the required extent. Do not try to fill in the blanks by inventing new information; rather, stop when you reach the limit of your expertise. Simply, avoid making things more complicated than they need to be.
Perfumes: Are they really necessary?
Perfume or cologne may be used by some persons to cover up their natural body odor or make them seem more attractive. Perfumes are popular among women because they enhance their self-esteem and make them seem more appealing.
A lot more about it is what we are going to talk about in today's entry of senyoritalks. Have fun and enjoy while reading.
Fragrance is a fashion accessory in the same way that scarves, buckles, and earrings, and other jewelries are. As a way to express oneself, it is a type of self-expression.
Honey scents improve one's spirits and make someone want to do more of whatever it is he or she is doing. The combination of honey and green smells soothes and calms anyone.
To enhance my self-confidence, I use perfume. In some ways, it makes me more contemplative. When I'm feeling anxious, I find that the smell of greenery helps me relax a little. To escape for a little while, I use another on my body at home. It is effective because it is so clean and powerful.
You may use lotions too since some day-to-day perfumes fade too quickly in the morning for some to notice them any longer during the day. You may carry it in your handbag and apply it on your wrists and neck when you need a little boost.
Moreover, when they get a whiff of a woman's floral fragrance, some males are instantly roused. Perfume has been around for a long time, but only lately has it been improved and bottled in elegant glass containers with varied names and brands.
In the men's cologne market, some women prefer their partners to wear them, and the market is growing. Because their partners insist on using them, most guys have little interest in them. It's not required, but if your partner prefers, you may do so.
Fragrance has a profound effect on the human mind. Recalling happy or painful memories is triggered by the fragrance of a familiar object. It has the power to bring us joy and to bring us to our knees, or become sad.
Another way to express one's individuality was via the art of fragrance. There was also a period when wearing perfumes was not as important as it is now, which is why more perfumes were born . For centuries, the smell of everyday existence was concealed by perfume.
Moderation is essential in all aspects of life, and this is especially true in some situations. This may apply to going out in public in general, but there are particular instances in which one should take caution while applying perfume but the nose knows well.
So to answer the above given question, perfume isn't really necessary, but it does help you feel better and more confident when you're wearing a lovely scent. It feels good when someone compliments our perfume, and at times, we enjoy it when someone compliments my aroma as we go by to them. So if you finally found your signature scent, stick with it. Have fun!
So, what's your favorite perfume? Thanks for reading.
Memorization Techniques: Are they Effective?
As a student, one thing that every student wants is to have excellent memorization skills. Well, there is no doubt because a lot of teachers give several quizzes that are based on terms and definitions, of course, except in math that involves problems and applications, but still, there is a need to memorize the formulas.
So, in today's blog and newest entry of **senyoritalks**. I have gathered and organized some ways on how we can somehow improve our memorization skills so we can ace our quiz or exam. It is not a hundred percent guaranteed, but you know, we may actually do so with great determination, faith, and these things.
Begin to comprehend the fact that you can't go faster or longer at the same time. Simply reading the books or notes and storing some lessons and understanding based on what you've learned is an effective method for speeding up the process of memorization.
However, put in mind that trying to recall the material for a lengthy period of time is not the same as this. To help us remember them, we have to repeatedly review the notes. Try to make sense of what you just read. If you're still unsure about what you're reading, use a reference book or the Internet for assistance. Don't skimp on something you don't comprehend because being careless wouldn't lead to anything good.
After then, keep jotting down your thoughts. You can remember things after one or two or three tries, depending on your ability. Re-read and re-write the notes you have taken down after a day or two. Keep doing the same thing for a week or two after that. If you give it a go, you'll be amazed at the results. This is really effective so giveit a try.
When you are trying to concentrate on what you're reading, put your phone away. Don't bother checking your email or social media accounts for any updates. Keep your phone out of your reading room, please because sometimes, whether we want it or not, we get tempted to use our phones. So it is better for us to keep it away for a while when we are studying for something. But if it's an important matter or an emergncy, of course, you have to take it.
Also make an effort to focus on the subject at hand and disregard any distractions. While reading, turn off the music if it disturbs you. But suppose you like listening to music while reading. In that case, I prefer classical songs like of Mozart and some studying playlist songs that are available in Spotify, Youtube, or other platforms. Again, listening to music while studying is an option for some. As long as it doesn't interfere with your proficiency to concentrate, the decision is totally up to you.
Lastly, consistently revise your notes and learning materials. If you are looking for a time-saving solution, this one isn't it. For a longer length of time, though, it may be of great use. Besides, it is proven that if you are actively listening during class discussion and taking down notes, the more that you get better from keeping in your memory those information.
There is really no such thing as a shortcut when you really want to master some specific things. Put in mind that we really have to study hard and also pray for God's guidance. These ways I presented are just bonus things to do to make it more effective. So grab your book now, and start reading. Good luck!
Keeping a Healthy Brain
As I was doing some exercise a while ago in the morning, I heard something on the radio about some ways to keep our brain healthy. While continuing my exercise, I am also actively listening to the radio announcer and put in mind some of the ways that were mentioned.
It's given for a fact that the brain is the body's most critical organ. The mind, emotions, personality, and awareness all reside in the brain. The heart is just one of the many organs in the body that it keeps in check and in sync with.
We need to use all of our senses as it aids in strengthening our brains. Aside from that, we need to engage in a variety of activities and exercises that engage all of our senses, as this promotes good health on all fronts - mental, physical, and even spiritual. These factors all have an effect on the functioning and efficiency of our brain.
So aside from having regular exercise, another way that I have taken note is to have quality sleep. After doing some research, I've come to the conclusion that sleep is crucial for soothing the body, and that it should never be compromised. Numerous brain processes, such as neuronal transmission, rely on sound sleep. Sleep, according to new research, serves as a kind of cleaning service, removing toxins from our brain that develop while we are awake.
It is essential to know that sleeping for at least seven to nine hours a night is vital to maintaining a healthy brain. Refreshing your brain and allowing it the time to heal is by far the most crucial thing we can do for ourselves.
Eating a well-balanced diet is also as important as the other factors mentioned. As we know, our brain's functioning is influenced by the amount of energy we get from the foods we consume. The brain needs fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, all of which may be found in healthy diets.
As much as possible, avoid eating junk food as these foods aren't healthy for us. Instead, eat leafy vegetables fruits and also intake vitamins to keep our brain healthy and keep its function efficiently.
We should also avoid too much stress because of the things or effects that are bad for us. When we are under a lot of stress, the following happens in our brains. For the first thing, we will have increased energy and clarity of thought. However, our brain starts to slow down after we have hit the limit of our endurance for stress. Things cross our minds, and we tend to lose things. As a result, we are not able to focus and we respond to temptations like overeating, and sometimes, others indulge in drinking, and/or smoking.
As we age, our brain gets old too. This is because the human brain experiences degeneration as we get old. But fortunately, there are some healthy factors we could actually, like what are mentioned above, to at least aid our brains to keep it healthy.
Let's do these things, and together, let's maintain a healthy brain as we age. Thank you for reading.
Putting Yourself in Another Person's Shoes
There are times in our life when one thing happens, not necessarily on us but to someone else, and we vicariously or indirectly experience that person's feelings.
In the event that you see someone suffering, you may be able to immediately put yourself in that's perspective and feel compassion for what they have been experiencing.
That is empathy, and it is the capacity to envision oneself in someone else's shoes, see things from their perspective, and empathize with them. To put it simply, empathy is the ability to understand what other individuals feel.
It sounds like sympathy, but you should know that these two are different. To be sympathetic means, you see things from your own point of view. In order to demonstrate empathy, you may gonna put yourself in the shoes of another.
The ability to empathize with others is a fundamental human trait. It's a care for other people's well-being. It's not the same as sympathy. It's about being able to relate with the mental and physical anguish of an individual or a group dealing with issues that we've encountered. Numerous lives will be saved as a result of this compassionate attitude.
Furthermore, empathy is the ability to identify with another person's emotions. When we say that we have sympathy, it is more on the mind. They are both positive attributes that contribute to overall well-being. It is a beautiful thing to live in a society where individuals try to comprehend the viewpoints of others and provide assistance to those who need it. Using these two ideas may allow you to take effective action in your life.
It's simpler to get within your own brain, but going into the thoughts of another person might be more difficult. To put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we must be able to experience compassion. It makes it possible for people to connect with the feelings of others. As difficult as it is to be compassionate, we should all strive to be caring whenever someone tells us about their concerns.
For example, a guy who believes that his friend lied to him. His suspicions that he was telling lies about himself harmed their friendship. There were times when he attempted to persuade and convince. However, he was adamant and continued to say things that hurt his heart. He tried to convince himself that maybe, he wasn't a genuine friend to protect his feelings.
He empathized as he considered the reasons for his beliefs. Being in his position made sense. Despite the pain, he was able to see the broader picture. Realizing that he might have her personal grounds for saying what he did, he found a way to deal with himself and his friend.
As of these days, especially to what is happening in other nations, we feel empathy. As we watch on the news and on various photos online, we feel sympathy. It really breaks anyone's heart that others in other parts of the world are afraid regarding their lives at this specific moment and what we could do is to pray that peace will pervade in the atmosphere.
Sunflowers: You're my Sunshine
As I am thinking of something tonight, the view of the sunflower garden near to us just popped up in my mind and so I made up my mind to share something about it. Besides, sunflowers could brighten up your day, and I hope it will do so.
**Sunflowers are the most soothing of all flowers for me. They are cheerful and bright and as welcoming as the summer sun itself.**
During summer, sunflowers are very much appreciated because of their dazzling yellow petals, which really seem to be likened to the sun.
It can also be likened to a flower of **love, devotion, and endurance**. It gets much of its symbolism from the sun. In fact, it is the only flower that I know that has the word sun in its name. It is just a trivia but you know, it's worth sharing, isn't it?
Unlike any other flowers, sunflowers can also supply energy in the form of sustenance and vitality, much as the sun does with the heat and light it emits. These flowers are regarded as happy ones, and I actually become happy when I see one.
All across the world, sunflowers have a pleasant effect on many people, regardless of where they are. Whether you are from this country or that nation, there are always individuals who appreciate its beauty and vibrant color.
One day, I heard a story from someone. It was told that sunflower seeds are sown with the intention that they would one day bloom and develop. To begin, place it on your windowsill in a little container. There is a seed in the soil in your tiny pot filled with land soil, and you water it every day. As days go on, as the flowers bloom, you move it to a new location in your yard, where it will get the ideal balance of sunlight and shade. When you see it in person, it amazes you more each time you do.
Final Remarks:
Like our hopes and desires, sunflowers sprout from a little seed and blossom into something huge yet beautiful with time. Even though they start off as unattractive little seeds, they bloom into magnificent blossoms that cover the whole yard if adequately cared for. It also makes me think about how society works. While it is easy to believe that we either blend in or stick out unduly, that's not at all times the reality.
In every situation, we can overcome it. We should keep in mind that even the largest of sunflowers began their life as a seed and eventually developed to their current size. Each of the people in our life had to nourish a seedling which had to be sown at some point in time, and they did so. Be hopeful, and remember that everything will work out for us in the end.
**"I want to be like a sunflower so that even on the darkest days, I will stand tall and find the sunlight."** - Unknown

Is it Worth it Subscribing to Netflix?
**Netflix** is a video streaming service platform that offers a diverse selection of television shows, films, kdrama, anime, and documentaries. It enables subscribers to watch TV shows and films without being interrupted by advertisements on any internet-connected device. You can also download these films to your device and watch them offline.
With streaming plans starting at 149 pesos per month in the Philippines, you’ll get unlimited movies and available 24/7 but it comes with not-so-good video quality. The starting plan only allows you to watch on a smartphone which is not enjoyable. You opt for the more premium plan which costs 549, and you get the most high definition video quality and you can watch movies on tv, smartphones, to name a few.
But Is it really worth it?
To begin, I believe that it is worthwhile as long as you use it actively. You have to be extremely careful about how much use you get out of it, as there is a lot of free content available online, particularly on YouTube. Alternatively, if you have other subscription services, such as Viu, it may not be worth it given the amount of time you spend on other websites/services. Or perhaps you have an extremely hectic schedule and don't have time and chance to watch shows. Therefore, if you are not going to use it at least several times a week or if you are not going to track your usage, do not purchase a subscription.
If you're a person who is fond of watching television and movies, it's worth it. But if you belong to the group of people who enjoy reading books, magazines, articles, newspapers, or listening to music,well then Netflix is not for you.
As a Kdrama fan, I personally think that getting a subscription on Netflix is worth it. Netflix, as a platform, offers me convenience in watching my favorite kdrama. When I first started watching kdrama, all I could do was catch up on episodes via Facebook. What I do is join a drama group and go on a search for my favorite kdrama shows. I became frustrated whenever I couldn't find the lasest episodes.
However, a Netlix Subscription is not worthwhile if you do not have the time to watch shows and if you intend to purchase a subscription and then forget about it or if you would rather read or listen to music than watch television shows or movies.
Also, while Netflix does have some quality content, there is also a lot of garbage to be found there as well. In order to learn about your preferences and make recommendations, Netflix uses logirithms to learn about you. You can save shows and movies that you want to return to (and it remembers where you were in the show!). Personally, I think it's half the fun to be on the hunt. It's like going on a treasure hunt. I spend more time searching for a show that goes into my liking than the time of me actually watching it . Netflix, on the other hand, is able to help me to broaden my viewing habits. I used to not like horror or thriller movies before discovering Netflix, but now I realize that I actually enjoy some of them when I am in the right mood.

Senyoritalks: Expectations the Root Cause of some Pain
Some people are often seen as happy and seem not to have any single problem. But beneath their smiles lie the things that keep on pressuring them, including different expectations that arise within their environment.
Anyways, there are some ways you can mitigate these expectations and things that reason out why it is the root cause of some pain, which we will talk about in today's episode of senyoritalks.
Now, here are the things you can do:
**Minimize expectations.**
**Don't keep up with everyone's demands.**
**Live life to the fullest.**
**Less is more.**
**Do some action, not some words.**
**Minimizing expectations**. Establishing expectations is a part of who we are as people since we are so intertwined with the rest of the world. When you care about someone or are somewhat connected to them, you instantly form expectations. As a result of this, you may experience discomfort, especially when these expectations aren't met. Thus, minimize your expectations because once your expectations are reduced and you start accepting things as they are, things get better, and soon enough, you will notice it.
**Don't always keep up with everyone's demands**. As if it wasn't bad enough, when you believe you've met everyone's expectations, no one does. You are deceiving yourself if you think of something that does not actually happen, my friends. You can't keep up with everyone's demands. You may have met some of their expectations, but you never know what's really going on in their minds.
**Living life to the fullest**. Living life to the fullest means savoring each and every minute we have with the people in our lives to the maximum extent possible. Taking in everything that the present has to give, and absorbing all that it has to say. To employ a very common cliché, life might be likened to a "roller coaster ride." The most important thing is to have fun while we're on the journey. Expectations will always be there but do not let it hinder the bigger picture.
**Less is more**. More often than not, frustration is the result of unreasonable expectations. In elementary school, I learnt that I like to be delighted rather than being upset by anything. My expectations, which seem to be quite high, are constantly being lowered. However, the majority of individuals will fall short of these high standards, and more than half will fall short of even the most basic ones. And this is something that people should work on because less is more.
**Doing some actions instead of just saying words**. It is your deeds, not your desires, that will determine your level of success. Finding out what you can do to make a difference is the challenging part; the simple part is recognizing what you should be doing in order to effect change. Gambling, for example, is an example of putting our trust in someone else or something else to happen that is beyond of our control or ability to influence. The result is that you have no control over the probable consequences and decisions you make. It is best, in my view, to focus on the things that you can manage and to have faith in your own talents rather than trying to control everything.
As to why it is the root cause of some pain, it goes this way: Everyone, including ourselves, has an identity that includes expectations. What sets us apart, though, is the degree to which we have complete control over how we feel. In a bad aspect, expectations drive us to desire more and might put us in an unhappy situation at times, or pain, on the other hand. Expectations may serve as a motivator for particular behaviors. Still, you may either continue to impose your views on other individuals, or you can choose to take priority on what is most important.
Final Thoughts:
All in all, dissatisfaction is waiting to be fulfilled because of expectations. The only sensible thing to do is not to anticipate anything at all if possible because expectations are sometimes loaded with irrational, erroneous assumptions. It is a subjective word that differs through experience, understanding, and various circumstances, and sometimes, the root cause of some pain.
