Oftentimes I wonder, Why do people try not to fall in love eventhough there is someone out there waiting for them, silently praying to be loved back? Let’s talk about some of the reasons, why.

Love comes everywhere, it’s either love for family, love for friends and love for your partner. Love is something that we feel towards others, but for some reasons others don’t want to express themselves, beacuse they’re afraid, afraid that what happened before will happen again, the failure, the disappointments, the agony will find it’s way again to ruin your building trust for someone who’s willing to be with you.

Personally, I ain’t willing to at the age of 21, I refuse to acknowledge guys who’ willing to court and be my partner. Why? Because I have many reasons to do so. Starting with Afraid to get into relationship that aren’t real, aren’t real because It might be someone who just want to get my attention but not me, the real me. I want a partner who will love my whole being not just what is seen from me which is basically my look, I want it deeper. Second thing is the Trust Issues, i knew that it’s not new for some of you here about trust issues when it comes to relationship, some even got traumatized. Trust Issues are hard to build for someone who’s been through painful break ups, so simple advice from me to you “Be patient with people like us, we appreciate you being there for us but please wait patiently until we heal and fully ready to be with someone again”. Afraid to love because I don’t want my heart to break into pieces once more, however I also new that heart break will lead you to where you really be, maybe God had sent you the pain, the wrong person for you to learn and be brave and smarter in choosing your future patner if you don’t want to feel the pain and agony of being left alone again. He’s preparing you for something nicer and much beautiful love story that’s meant to make you the happiest. I truly believe that there is always a rainbow after the rain, simply means fail first, struggle first and soon you’re hardships will be paid off. You’re pain will soon turn into cloud of happiness.

But, the real reason of me not wanting to fall in love and have a boyfriend for now, is because it’s nice to be single. I am busy building myself, preparing myself for what is meant for me, while waiting for it, I can freely do what I want without hesitation.

Friends are someone who we want to be with in times of hardships after our family. They can be your wall when your about to breakdown and can be your partner in crimes and joy. How lucky can you get when you build friends in college? College is life but friends is lifer.

I am a Third year college student and I am taking up Bachelor’s Degree of Secondary Eductaion Major in Mathematics. Yes, Mathematics and as you knew I am not really good at math, so it’s a bit hard for me to cope up in class. But all my struggles and setbacks were drowned and dig to hell because i have friends to lean on whenever i need help, whenever I don’t understand something about the lesson they educate me more about it.

However, our friendship doesn’t stop there it goes deeper and deeper as we deal with each other each time of the day. Through Struggles and laughters we’re together. I actually have a scenario where in one of my friend ask me if i already did the requirements we’re required to pass and I said I still don’t and then he said same and then we laugh at each other (i knew it’s not a good thing not to pass requirement though). It’s so good to have somebody in dealing with everything you don’t need to feel alone because they got your back. Friends are Family.

To my college friends. Thank you for everything Thank you for being there with me always even if I am so hard to deal with because of my not so good attitude towards others but still you accepted me, uplifted me and cheered for me. You all made me feel loved and acknowledge which my father failed to do so. With that I promise to be a good friend to all of you no matter what i will not fail you all. I will reciprocate the love and support you’ve all given me. I love you and I really really missed you all! Keep safe always and Godbless! We’ll see each other the soonest! Fighting! Together we will receive our Diploma and will shout together, WE DID IT! 💕

“Magtanim ay di Biro” this statement is the real definition of life in the ricefield. I’ve been doing it for almost a month or so. Not just for experience , lesson but also for the living, to earn money as you can see during the pandemic it’s hard to earn penny. That’s why i tried planting rice on the field and i will tell you my story.

At Five o’clock in the morning you should be awke and prepare foods and clothes you have to wear, it’s just like preparing for school also but it’s not. After prrparing all the stuff that I need I am ready to go. Most places of rice field are across mountains so you still need to walk to get there. At exactly 7:30 the agony begins. All of us will plant, bow are head and then plant plant plant plant and plant, until 9:00 or 9:30 your choice because it’s sanack time. We’re given 10 mins or so to finish our food, and then we’ll start again. Can you imagine yourself? Exposed in a broad daylight working? It was hard and really tiring but you have no choice? It continues until 11:30 am. Time for lunch, then come back at 1:00 pm in the afternoon. This time of the day is the hottest it can actually burn your skin, the sweat are falling down our faces but what can we do it’s our job and our time is sold to the owner of the farm so we have to keep doing what we should do. The agony will only stop when the clock hits 4:30 pm. It’s all done whether it is finished or not.

Lessons I have learned doing the stuff is that it’s hard to earn money, so we have to be very thrifty at all times do not spend your money on things that you don’t really need or simply spend your money wisely use it for necessity not for luxury. It also thought me to be patient and hardworking in order to get what you want. Sweat for it, make time for it and do not give up on it no matter how much you wanted to stop? Keep on going and moving forward and you’ll be shock you already have what you wanted.

We live in a time were in light can be seen at night by just turning on the off and on button. It’s easy and accessible isn’t it? Within a second you can see what’s in the dark, but what if? There is no electricity at all? No phones, no laptops, no light, no signal and many more? How are you going to deal with it? Will it be a good thing ? Or bad?

Since typhoon ulysses landed here on philippines last Nov 12 2020, the electricity got interrupted from all over the places that is severely damaged including our place which is Tarlac. With this situation I have done much more than i have been doing before the electricity got interrupted. I’ve got a lot of time doing household chores, requirements and quality time with my siblings. I realized that electricity is one of the things that made me lazier because there is electricity i have all the time and access to my gadgets which is very alarming because I’ve been addicted to it lately to the point that I’m not even helping in the chores anymore, It is laso very alarming to my health because I am exposed too much to gadgets i’m afraid my eyesight could be affected so electricity interruption is a big help for me that time.

No electricity means no light, but that doesn’t made us live in the dark for two weeks because we used candles to bring small amount of light in our house. It’s funny that i actually enjoyed the night more with the candle light than light from the bulb. Thinking about how peaceful and simple life is without electricity. No distractions from resting early at night. Imagine? Sleeping early at night at peace so we can fulfill 8 hours and more hours of sleep how beautiful and healthy that is? It’s very satisfactory. But there is also a bad side that it caused us.

Electricity interruption also is a threat to my study because we are online learning we should have access to our phones and internet, in order to study modules and lesson we need to access the internet but how is that possible if the cell sites are down. It’s a good thing that the school gave considerations for students and faculties to recover after the typhoon.

Only child wants to have siblings to play and have fun with. But what if they aren’t full blood as yours? What if they’re just your step siblings? How are you going to deal with it? Will you accept it or not?

Let’s start with Cons or the negative sides of having such. First one is that the attention of your parents aren’t fully yours anymore, it will definitely get divided and sometimes your actually being left out. It’s frustrating isn’t it? You’re the original son/daughter but it seems like your the one begging for attention. Second you always have to adjust especially if you’re the eldest you have to be patient and understanding even if it’s like you’re going to burst in hatred. You have to keep calm because you’re mom will get mad at you when you did something to them. Lastly, responsibility instead of enjoying yourself alone you are task to be a nanny to your siblings and took care of them whenever your parents are not around.

Having siblings is like having bestfriend, you grow up and get comfortable with each other. It makes me so happy whenever they obey me and respect me as their older sister. I feel love even if we’re only half blood related. Some scenarios they don’t accept their step sibling because they see it as a threat and competition but for me I have been used yo loving them because we share the same mother and we love her so in order to make her happy we became one. We are responsible to make our mother be proud of us three.
