<p> Heya~ I'm a Filipino currently residing in Metro Manila, although I love my country, there are some facts you need to remember and make sure you don't or do, need and NOT TO BUY when visiting this Region.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyfGAsX1BIEidSL2o4g2VtFaJmJ11fxnT90eDKgklBW4fyvnEHchtwgP9eJNqH0HPFnX4GNzlmmtoYQXUCBQ6GkWIYHXjoV7yV2AC4gsXQvcAUIH-QBbEzXRPbsV_586zPE92kKEqwUMu32jzp20-D7cHbArgDV4uVh1Hp9sN2Hr77YxQYEClyPhvv_Q/s5472/pexels-rachel-claire-4992673.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyfGAsX1BIEidSL2o4g2VtFaJmJ11fxnT90eDKgklBW4fyvnEHchtwgP9eJNqH0HPFnX4GNzlmmtoYQXUCBQ6GkWIYHXjoV7yV2AC4gsXQvcAUIH-QBbEzXRPbsV_586zPE92kKEqwUMu32jzp20-D7cHbArgDV4uVh1Hp9sN2Hr77YxQYEClyPhvv_Q/w400-h266/pexels-rachel-claire-4992673.jpg" width="400"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photographed by: <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/set-of-different-items-for-travel-on-surface-4992673/" target="_blank">Rachel Claire</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br><p><br></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">1. Buy a SIM card at the airport </h4><p>If you're planning to travel to the Philippines, it's a good idea to set up one of the sim slots on your device with a local sim card. This will allow you to easily stay connected while on the go, whether you need to access mobile data or contact someone locally. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEn1t6lPiV3tQMNVSj28A1t9un7giE4U91khGahn8TM-stv3VvNsD53jnCSCVzlhpw6BZokfmqvHV__YxYCaqkx4aDvKXcwi6Rqu7PAZtrW03kERr2_rLDoDWBm3SX1veRPCjY5QB8yY0Lb7_ThKvNyHWdPJJung2sWqAPQ0cnM9-xE0IMBfqnfmQcN-o/s4617/pexels-silvie-lindemann-63690.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3078" data-original-width="4617" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEn1t6lPiV3tQMNVSj28A1t9un7giE4U91khGahn8TM-stv3VvNsD53jnCSCVzlhpw6BZokfmqvHV__YxYCaqkx4aDvKXcwi6Rqu7PAZtrW03kERr2_rLDoDWBm3SX1veRPCjY5QB8yY0Lb7_ThKvNyHWdPJJung2sWqAPQ0cnM9-xE0IMBfqnfmQcN-o/s320/pexels-silvie-lindemann-63690.jpg" width="320"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photographed by : <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-smartphone-on-black-table-top-63690/" target="_blank">Silvie Lindemann</a></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Keep in mind, though, that many establishments throughout the country offer free Wi-Fi, so you may not necessarily need a sim card to stay connected. The decision will depend on your individual needs and preferences, but having a local sim card can certainly come in handy when you're out and about.</p><p><br></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">2. DOWNLOAD these applications for your food and travel needs</h4><p>I would like to share my experience with SOME (not all) taxi drivers in Naia Terminal 3 and other terminals. While it is unfair to label all taxi drivers as scammers, there are some who charge more than the metered fare especially to those who just arrived from a flight. As a Filipino, I have also fallen victim to this. It is frustrating to be taken advantage of in such a way, especially after a long flight. 😖</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02dDa85GjnmsvzeDsV2Jv9a7p5f8nnP2LMMYwtWLWtf3eDAOUNJ8wCbLG3FV5illRIYegzwK9SEE6MkfIQLvzL6qCIgcNsy7kh3UuVILoJVTbFjPo2Ps9KFDBeTU1UmIf5LTZakKLT1hDWeecGD8pDP_sIsV5sW-zSUMezOJnDEHgoE8WcGsgoiSLeqY/s697/89939499_10158827671752985_8965114953266626560_n.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="337" data-original-width="697" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02dDa85GjnmsvzeDsV2Jv9a7p5f8nnP2LMMYwtWLWtf3eDAOUNJ8wCbLG3FV5illRIYegzwK9SEE6MkfIQLvzL6qCIgcNsy7kh3UuVILoJVTbFjPo2Ps9KFDBeTU1UmIf5LTZakKLT1hDWeecGD8pDP_sIsV5sW-zSUMezOJnDEHgoE8WcGsgoiSLeqY/w400-h194/89939499_10158827671752985_8965114953266626560_n.png" width="400"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo credit : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/manilabulletin" target="_blank">Manila Bulletin</a></td></tr></tbody></table><p>To avoid this problem, I highly recommend using Grab for transportation all over Metro Manila.

Exchange money </h4><div><br></div><div><div>If you plan to travel abroad, it is always a good idea to exchange your money before your trip. However, it is important to note that the exchange rates at the airport can be quite expensive, so it is advisable to avoid exchanging money at the airport. Instead, you can exchange money at your bank or at a currency exchange office in the city. This will save you a significant amount of money in the long run.</div><div><br></div><div>That being said, there may be situations where you need to exchange money at the airport, such as in case of an emergency where you need to ride a taxi or pay for food upon arrival. In such cases, it is still possible to exchange a small amount of cash at the airport. Just be aware that the exchange rates may not be as favorable as they would be elsewhere.</div></div><div><br></div><div>I always go to banks or the mall to exchange money; their rates are much more reasonable than in the airport. ✌</div><div><br></div><span></span>

Symptoms to Watch for your Children

Judes Biajedor July 19, 2020 Family Health and Mind Society

Children encountering molestation or sexual abuse of any kind is undergoing an emotionally stressful experience, they might be unable to con...

<div>Parents have the delicate task of maintaining a loving, touching family relationship while also teaching their child or children to recognize and reject "bad touches". </div><div><br /></div>1. Know your children's friends. <div>-"Know" [not like the stalky type of behavior that might push you off by your kids]. My mother always let us invite our friends into our home, whenever there's a group project or just for playtime. This is her way to know how we interact and how we behave. Parents should know who were the people their child interacts with, you may not know there could be someone else trying to befriend your child but they have another agenda for them. </div><div><br /></div><div>2. Never leave your child unattended. </div><div>-[this is very important!] I've seen parents with their phones, literally not minding their own child and freaked out when they've gone missing. You have to get your head straight and focus on your child whenever you are with them. </div><div><br /></div><div>3. Be involved in your child's activities.</div><div>-Most parents were having a hard time getting involved in their child's activities because of the experience and gap between the generations. I've seen children who do not want to ask anything about their studies or technology because they seem not confident with the capabilities of their parents [which is really sad]. Parents should not just be a guardian but also a best friend of their child even at a young age, interaction is always important.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Listen when your child tells you he or she does not want to be with someone.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Be sensitive to changes in your child's behavior or attitudes. </div><div>-Yes! Please do remember this one. Other parents don't have time to check on their kids, and their main reason was they're tired, busy, wanted to relax. They ignored the emotional needs of their children. I was bullied in grade school up until college, but it took a toll on me when I was in 4th-year high school, I suffer from depression and had a therapy when I was in college [without my mother knowing]. I prefer to keep it to myself because whenever I wanted to tell my problems to her, she doesn't seem interested and always focuses on her job and to her things. </div><div><br /></div><div>6. Pay attention when someone shows greater than normal interest in your child. </div><div><br /></div><div>7. Have your child fingerprinted and know where to locate dental records. </div><div>-This seems to be a lot of effort, but it will help you just in case something happened. </div><div><br /></div><div>8.

Safety Tips for Parents

<div style="text-align: center;">It's hard to tell, and I don't even know if this is a good subject to talk about. This is something that I could or not share, but I have these thoughts ever since I've been in the BPO [business process outsourcing] industry. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So...What's the reality? Let me tell you my story. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOcRN_DFkzLemlRDBN0LiYE5UUPXJc3dA0J05StcopgmYUtWhLzQzKAbdIKJ_YMannoQVM_Imm7CriYEu7cCobBJpD6LR4L5PHamxYszxZ-4LhyphenhyphenrAyX0N9NeeuROZX5BrwxzrF51sc8wz/s1880/iphone-desk-laptop-notebook.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="1880" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOcRN_DFkzLemlRDBN0LiYE5UUPXJc3dA0J05StcopgmYUtWhLzQzKAbdIKJ_YMannoQVM_Imm7CriYEu7cCobBJpD6LR4L5PHamxYszxZ-4LhyphenhyphenrAyX0N9NeeuROZX5BrwxzrF51sc8wz/w320-h213/iphone-desk-laptop-notebook.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">credits: <a href="https://www.pexels.com/@startup-stock-photos" target="_blank">@startup</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I started working in a BPO company when I was in 4th-year college, to help myself in projects and thesis. Being a teenager who does not have much, even my mother can't support all my projects at that time. I have no choice but to look for a suitable job. I tried going on a freelance, getting projects, then there are multiple offers from my friends. Being a waitress at that time does not pay much, so I have to think of something else. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm scared to be honest, maybe because of the rumors I've heard about their experiences in the call center industry. About having an active sex life, multiple relationships, unfaithful partners, struggles for promotion, too much peer pressure and so many more. On the second thought, the salary was okay. I do not mind all of these as long as I'm being paid.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was hired but I'm having mixed feelings, scared but excited. Scared because I'm going to be on another reality and I have to make sure that I'm able to pass my subjects even though I'm working full time in my work as a customer service representative. </div><div><br /></div><div>My first BPO company would not accept your application unless you prioritize the work and my university should be the one to adjust. There's no work-life balance, which they've been claiming from their online advertisements. Though I was accepted, I consulted my professors and told them about my concern, they're very understandable and let me go to their other class to catch-up. </div><div><br /></div><div>On the training, we were taught the basics of customer's greeting, using different tools, the do's and don'ts and so many more that overwhelmed me. </div><div><br /></div><div>As a communication student, I was able to use my listening skills and the way I respond to arguments. My experience with the training was just fine, the information [products and processes] are the ones difficult to analyze. </div><div><br /></div><div>They set your performance by the scores you get with the customers, which is hypothetically not 100 percent accurate. I'm also a customer and if I want to fake myself throughout the conservation I can do it even if you solve my concern, I can still give you a 0 for no reason, by a mistake or because the product itself pissed me off. And that could happen often!</div><div><br /></div><div>If you get a dissatisfaction score, they'll find mistakes every time [in every way]. But if you get a satisfactory score they won't mind it. [ahem]</div><div><br /></div><div>It's the same thing that happened on my Second BPO Company. Your scores determine your skills. Numbers are really important when it comes to this kind of business, and if you're a person who does not have much patience, then this job is not for you. </div><div><br /></div><div>Most people there, blunt about their past experiences or their position in the company. Showing the might of you-know-who-I-am-so-back-off kind of attitude. [not all but some]. I've seen leaders and dictators, I've seen fake people and the ones who have a pure heart and just wanted to work there for their family. </div><div><br /></div><div>There were these cases were team buildings and group lunch or dinner which is normal for any kind of company. If you're not attending one of those activities and you were invited, some will judge you for not being fun and friendly, which happened to me a couple of times because I have to study and I'm not really a person that would go out often. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also, working in this kind of industry gives me a hard time to look for another career, the whole story of me starting to work here is not my dream at all. I applied to multiple industries which I believe I'm fitted because of my skills, but because I have experience with BPO, these companies questioned me why am I applying for a different position or career that is too far from my experience, then they would accept other applications who do not have any BPO experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was judged numerous times. I know that most of the people working here do not have a healthy lifestyle. And my mother was worried that I could try drugs or even smoke, or drink liquors and beers [which I have not]. Maybe drinking beer but not often, occasionally. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was also told that the BPO industry is the home of "single-moms". It opened my eye to the reason behind why. After the shift, going to bars or clubs. Most of my friends did open up that they have sex with workmates, and that made me worried. Some of them have their own family, some of them just want to have one, but risking their health also their relationship was a big thing! </div><div><br /></div><div>The active sex life, which you can have a fuck buddy, but I do believe that this kind of thing also happens as long as you really want it to. [but I don't]</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been telling the not so good things and this is quite long! </div><div><br /></div><div>Well...I'm also glad that I've started working in the BPO industry, it opened my eyes to reality, how hard it is to be promoted, how difficult to get scores, you will not have any reviewer, you have to let your mind and heart to be strong for whatever the customer or supervisor will throw at you. </div><div><br /></div><div>This industry made me strong, a lot of issues arise while I'm working here, it was really difficult, but it made me wise to choose people, whom I'm going to befriend. </div><div><br /></div><div>My communication also improved, I began to be confident speaking in public or even through any types of medium. </div><div><br /></div><div>The salary is not questionable, you can really get as much as you want, depending on your performance. But career-wise, especially if you have other sets of skills, you'll think twice, if you're still uncontented with this job. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

An eating disorder has been an issue with teens or even adults all over the world. Most of us don't even know that we already have it not until we get to consult a specialist and be diagnosed. <div><br /></div><div>It can be inadequate or excessive food intake which can ultimately damage an individual's well-being[<a href="https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/information/eating-disorder">1</a>].<div><br /></div><div>I had a consult last 2017 when I gained weight of 67 kg. I was stressed out because of work, I've done some extreme measure, I went through yo-yo dieting that ruined the natural order of my body to protect me from gaining weight. </div><div><br /></div><div>I research a lot on how to lose weight fast, enroll myself to a gym, and get a fitness coach. But...I still thought it was not enough, I take supplements which should not be given to my sensitive body, I even go for laxatives, because I felt guilty whenever I'm eating even just one cup of rice. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also thought that giving myself a "cheat day" would suffice my cravings throughout the entire week. BUT IT GROW WHAT'S LACKING. </div><div><br /></div><div>It was not easy to accept that it was me who ruined my physique, my skin, my overall health. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was advised to stop taking too much caffeine, do not fast as it will not help. A lot of things jotted down for me to prevent, but I do not mind it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was concerned with money, not thinking about myself. I depend too much on the genes of our family, being slim, and thought that I will not get chubby. [but I was wrong] I suffered from different diseases, like UTI and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease [gerd]. </div><div><br /></div><div>As of today, I'm still on the journey to discipline myself, to not eat a lot when I'm stress, instead to look for another way without ruining my health. </div><div><br /></div><div>Losing weight was never been easy. I have to connect all the dots to make sure that the things that I do, will not ruin my skin, my overall health. </div><div><br /></div><div>The struggle of fitting yourself in those pretty clothes and being able to walk confidently without any worry - I know that this is because of my insecurities. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've just accepted that being gluttony is a sin and I should be grateful and not ask for more. I am studying the right proportion for my body. Try to eat vegetables more. It did progress and I'm now 53kg. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was once 49kg, not too thin, just right for my body frame.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We have this discussion and I just want to share it with you guys.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, our decisions and almost everything depends on what we see hear and feel.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the NO.1 and powerful tool in your life that affects most of your decisions and everyday living is <b>Media</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, let's define first what is "<b>Media</b>"?</div>
<br />
"<i>these are kinds of medium (either in print, broadcast or in a video manner ) that transmit or store information."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>Well, there are so many different kinds of definition or interpretation on what Media is,<br />
It may portray or mean tools, or maybe people.<br />
<br />
Let us now know the reasons why Media is considered powerful nowadays.<br />
<br />
1. <b><i>Basically speaking,  it affects our decision</i></b><br />
<br />
What you see through these mediums may affect how you perceive things,  it may affect negatively or positively to us when it comes to our decision making.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <b><i>You consider these/them as one of your saviors</i></b><br />
<br />
Due to unknown incidents and life-threatening accidents nowadays,  the media provides information that may or may not keep you safe from harm and troubles.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <b><i>It can change you</i></b><br />
<br />
These changes are not all positive. Due to prohibited sites that can be seen only by yourself,  and these advertisements (forgive me for this one) that show and predict some kinds of aspects like beauty, lifestyle,  what's Fab, we literally go for it, go for changes.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. <b><i>Considered as a Destress tool</i></b><br />
<br />
If you were on a hazardous day and you feel bad about everything happened to you throughout the day,  you may consider media as one of your distressing tool in your home.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. <b><i>Statement</i></b><br />
<br />
As you can see media can be a statement, why? If you were up to date about the recent events you were looking for,  then people will be amazed and think about how awesome you are.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b><i>Help us to improve mentally and physically</i></b><br />
<br />
One of the main aspects of media in our lives is to help us improve, nurture our minds by sharing information and facts that help us from everyday living; give informative guides and tips when it comes to our health.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why you must love Math?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Or should I say</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Why you must appreciate it?</b></div>
<br />
I know, I know -- some of you will say 'Math is hard' Math is f***in difficult that even letters were there.<br />
<br />
I have also been through that, hating Math and thinking about not liking it for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Some of us were not that easy Bizzy to answer equations in the book, understand our teachers in adding and logarithmic equations, understanding the process of f****ng everything about Math.<br />
<br />
But did you know it benefits in your lives, in our lives?<br />
<br />
<br />
1.<b> Math let  us know how to count from 1-10 and make us smile from small things</b><br />
The most basic one, when we are kids (admit this one) you really love to say numbers 1,2,3 (haha) counting using your cute little fingers, which makes your parents or anyone sees you do that happy, they were very happy that you could already count !!<br />
<br />
2. <b>Math let us know how to count money, almost everything!!!</b><br />
Without Math of course! , we wouldn't know how to measure almost everything around us, even the height of your ideal one (na' just saying)<br />
<br />
3. <b>Math let us know how to get up for how many times we fail</b><br />
Psychologically speaking, subjects in our school teaches us a lesson, one of these is Math! , for how many times I, you, or they fail, I still believe that I will pass and make it!!<br />
<br />
4.<b> Math lets us know the true happiness of success!</b><br />
For how many times you fail from your exams, it changed you; you try hard and study hard, and when you got your score and it was satisfying or more than that -- you will just feel that true success and so much joy!!!<br />
<br />
5. <b>Math let our minds still working and help us with our studies</b><br />
Did you know math helps us to stimulate those nerves in your brain and keeps it working by thinking so hard, it helps us by means of making our brain active even at times of difficulty of understanding<br />
<br />

Why Appreciate Math?

A movie that would take you back from the past during World War II. As a spectator, this movie let me feel how<b> to pity the world was</b> and somehow it is also<b> reflecting</b> the <b>generation of humanity today. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<i>[Private self-explanation]</i><br />
<br />
There was this scene where the old man help Bruno yet his family doesn't want him to be closed to the old man. I remember the time when I was helping an old man, and the people that I know scolded me for helping them or believing in them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>[Cultural self-explanation]</i><br />
<br />
The last scene where Bruno's family is searching for him and eventually they realized he is already burnt or had died. The moment I saw her mother cried, I remember the times I saw people who lost their loved ones.<br />

As for the setup of the movie, the lighting itself justified the old ambiance of it. Wherein this movie portrays the time during World War III. The logos of NAZI has been shown at the beginning of the movie.<br />

Summary:<br />
This movie is about a boy named Bruno became friends with a boy held captive. Yet Bruno didn't know the truth behind the boy who wears pajamas.<br />

A movie that would take you back from the past during World War II. As a spectator, this movie let me feel how to pity the world was and ...

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I can't come up with a good title for this blog post and I know that this is not a timely topic. I'm trying to focus my attention on how will I convey my message to you guys, that might inspire your life.<br />
<br />
It started when I've stayed in Manila, for the past few months because of my work and projects. I was in a hurry for a meeting, then GRAB and Uber was splurged, due to the fact that most of us don't want to be late or stuck in the traffic of EDSA.<br />
<br />
ANGKAS was there to save my day. Commuting was a hassle for me, though it saves you money for other things to buy for, your strength, patience and time were consumed just because of the traffic.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, you have to sacrifice your free time [the sleeping time I should say]. You have to go to work probably an hour or even more than that.<br />
<br />
Grab, Uber and Angkas made it easy. Though it might compromise other lines of business for public transportations.<br />
<br />
Although they serve a great purpose, not just for those people who do not want to be late, but for those who are unemployed and want to have extra income.<br />
<br />
One of the ANGKAS drivers I booked was a security guard of a bank. He told me that right after his duty, he didn't think about eating first, rather he is doing angkas to save more money for his family. He also told me that, his salary as a security guard was not enough to ensure the future of his kids, but because of ANGKAS, he was able to start saving money even with just a small amount.<br />
<br />
Then there was this ANGKAS driver who told me that he got rejected from job applications [BPO companies] and so when ANGKAS came, he grabs the opportunity right away, but with hesitation, because it will be a stranger and not his wife that will ride to his scooter all the way to a specific place. He is very happy that he was now able to provide for his family.<br />
<br />
I know that I sound biased in this blog post and I should always be fair. But somehow the perception of motorcycles to be the most dangerous vehicle is one the things that I want to change.<br />
Yes, the percentage of safety in transportation goes to four wheels, but I do also believe that it depends on the driver.<br />
<br />
I never had any safety issues with them. They teach me how to "angkas" properly since I don't know how to ride a motorcycle. They even offer me a face mask, so that I won't get to have so much dirt on my face or inhale that much smoke coming from the vehicles ['yung sa tambutso].<br />
<br />
There are laws that we have to consider, and I totally understand that, but I know it will be worth it.<br />
<br />
I believe having additional training for roads and safety, adding insurance for the people who will ride these motorcycles, [because you might not even know, even acts of God happens with no reason] making sure that every motorcycle was checked before they drive, even the helmets. These are the factors that might be considered [including the corrupt officials that do not want this kind of business to operate 👀] to be the process so that these <b>motorcycle businesses</b> can operate without any problem.<br />
<br />

The two wheel drive as a source of income

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Our topic for today is about... One of the weaknesses of a guy... Is a Lady, a girl or a  woman???<br />
<br />
I was just wondering how some of you guys say that we (woman) are one of your weaknesses??<br />
<br />
Is it because sometimes when you're making decisions, some of us tend to give a huge comment about it? Is it because some of your decisions may affect us? Is it because some of us tend to mind your own business? Is it because some of us are just inquisitive? Or maybe because of love?<br />
<br />
These are some of the questions that I was thinking, why you consider us as one of your weaknesses .. which is sometimes I don't really understand.<br />
<br />
I want to tell you a short story about my friend that tells me every time someone flirts him... The only reason he says "Girls are Man's weakness"<br />
<br />
At his office, while finishing his papers, his office mate (girl), tends to always show off in front of him or sometimes tend to do exaggerated actions that could lead him to do something to her (if you know what I mean - sexually).<br />
<br />
He always asks me what he can do, because he felt like he's about to give in to temptation.<br />
<br />
I told him that he must confront her honestly that he doesn't have time for mingling or flirting especially in the OFFICE! or maybe he could say that he doesn't like her that much(well that's an option if he doesn't really like the girl)...<br />
<br />
And then he said, He can't talk to the girl, because the girl is so aggressive and the girl is so flirty and blah blah blah blah .. which is I said to him to finish up those excuses of his. Why you can't do that, I know it's not simple maybe .. but you must .. if you do not want to have a one night stand or something to that girl. And then he replied, "Ye' know, Every woman is a man's weakness"<br />
<br />
And I was like WT*<br />
<br />
Well, all I can say is .. I don't think that sometimes you consider us as your weakness but the action that we may do in front of you that could lead up to something can be your weakness; the words that we tell you that could really make you say .. Ah... She's my weakness. And other factors such as physical aspect and mental aspect. [but I'm still confused] 👀<br />

Certain products have installment based payments; others don’t have [you need to pay in full amount]. You can choose from 20% - 70%, to pay for 2 months, 3 months or so.

A MOTHER ALWAYS FORGIVES

I don’t want to write anything about how I feel, but someone pushed me to. It might not be bad at all to write this??</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I’m still afraid of what could be the outcome. [This is going to be a long story, but I’ll try to make it shorter]</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At a very young age, I saw the reality of parenting and relationships. I was the one who caught my father cheating. That innocence of mine went away and I got confused about my life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These fairy tales of happily ever after only works for others, but not to my family. I love my parents… and when I was about to choose which side am I going to spend the rest of my life – I choose my mom. I saw how many times she attempts to kill herself while raising us. [I was just 7 years old at that time].</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw how it breaks the heart of my brother and sister, knowing that most of the adult thinks that children will not understand this kind of matter. BUT THEY DO, WE DO. I had to be strong at times my mother cry, throw anything that would make her remember my father, and when she can’t pull herself up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When my father abandoned us, there was this feeling inside of me that I want to release for a very long time [I can’t explain, I don’t know if it is anger or eagerness to know why!??]. After 10 or 11 years he visited us, I don’t know what to react, instead, I keep quiet and don’t look at him all day. BUT when he kissed me on my forehead, a tear drops in my eyes [I silently cry].<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was never been honest about how I feel, being strong outside, showing my smile and living alone is my defense mechanism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

I’ve never shown it to my mom that I’m weak [that I’m crying for help]. Every time we fight, it breaks my heart. I felt like I’m a bad person.

I should have been HONEST

Judes Biajedor March 31, 2020 Family Health and Mind Society

I don’t want to write anything about how I feel, but someone pushed me to. It might not be bad at all to write this?? However, I’m sti...

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How many times did you see yourself, alone?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not being with someone??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Or used to doing things on your own?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Other people say "you like to be alone"</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But "maybe" the truth is "you are alone because you don't want to get hurt" or "you enjoy the company of just being with yourself" and wanting to give yourself time to relax from everything that happened (you already know what I mean)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">September 2012, I met someone from Manila, this guy was just sitting at the Luneta park with his skateboard, staring at the other teenagers who also do skateboarding. [My friends approached him because they think he is cute lol]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He started talking, only when we asked him questions, he was not really into it. We added him on Facebook, I chat with him for how many years, meet him sometimes. And up until now we are still connected to each other. He admitted that he doesn't have any friends now, unlike before he was high school and college. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He told me <i>it's fine to be alone, most of the time you don't have to depend on someone else</i>. And then he added, "<i>most people think they won't survive by themselves, that problems should be solved through talking to another person, or by sharing the problem with someone else</i>.<i> Instead of us thinking, researching about the solutions,</i><i> we usually depend on what other people say"</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was also listening to a radio channel and the topic happened to be people who love to be alone [that was a long time ago]. That being alone, sometimes could be an individuals’ decision, or is affected by many factors. They also discussed how other people perceived individuals who prefer to be alone. Most of the surveyed results, they're depressed, self-centralized, boring, been bullied and there was no positive opinion!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">                 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, I decided to ask people on social media sites, to what could be their opinion and even to my friends and family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">                </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•<b> "People prefer to be alone because. they've been hurt. might not necessarily be romantically hurt but emotionally hurt"</b>. -CJ</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Yes, this might be true for some, but not for the others. We people can get hurt in many ways. You can get emotionally, mentally or physically hurt, not just in the manner of being hurt because you are in love. And by these, it makes us avoid the things that will draw us to be hurt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">• <b>"Peace of Mind"</b>. -Jared Dela Merced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Another yes for me!!! Being alone is not that kinda bad, sometimes it'll help you out to think more about yourself. To relax from the people or things that stressed you out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•<b> "Emotionally disturbed, seeking for peacefulness + stand-alone character, would rather do things alone. have things their own way. But you know you've been peaceful too much when you suddenly wonder... "To whom will I share this peace with".</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Eva</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- This statement summarizes most of the things an alone person would say why he/she wants to be alone. If you are emotionally disturbed, you might tend to hurt yourself, this might be caused by your environment or peers. At that point, you might as well choose to be alone most of the time [but not forevahhh!!], as what he has said in this statement you might want to think about of too much peacefulness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Other than that Eva explains further what he said to this topic:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>Emotionally/Mentally disturbed</i></b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You lost something very special. and you just can't simply take it. For instance, your relative, father or mother or a thing you consider most precious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>Stand-alone character</i></b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are people who would do things by themselves. 'cause they may be thinking others aiding them would just be a nuisance to their accomplishment/achievement/goal. some of them may be thinking they couldn't be equaled as if everything is competitive...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>Being alone indeed is too peaceful</b></i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We may feel comfortable but not for too long. yes, even just being alone may cause you a problem, you'll just have this kind of feeling of discomfort where you think that it's been too much like ang peaceful masyado.. parang gusto ko tong ishare sa iba and there from alone to lonely"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•<b> "My Social Skills are very limited"</b> -from a movie [don't know the title] just commented as gif by my sister, Rose Anne</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- My sister was an introvert, she doesn't always go out, just focus on her academics. My mother and I have been disturbed because of this, and then she suddenly opens up and talked to us about it, that she doesn't have that confidence to converse well with other people, that she find it hard to talk to different people. Socializing for her was a big challenge. Though we are not forcing her to have friends at that time, we see progress, like her being open when it comes to her thoughts and what is happening to her at school. Before she wasn't even like that. I talk to my sister every day, ask her if what happened, how's her day -EVERYDAYYYY- and it did help a lot. I let my sister invite her classmates to our home whenever there's a group project so she'd be comfortable to socialize [because she knows I'm there to back up for her hahaha]. Social skills were considered a must nowadays for most jobs, and it was hard for others to overcome this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It might help those people that you know that are lacking social skills or is in need of help, to talk to them every time, not bugging them, but try to be the one to start the conversation. And I bet ya...you'll be surprised because they're going to open up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">P.S</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm not a psychology graduate/student or even a consultant for this. I just wanted to write this topic as it caught my attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope that I'd help someone to conquer their fear of socializing with others [remember you're not the only person who is going through this] or at least clarify why there are people who just want to be alone. Because I do too, sometimes tends to choose to be alone to relax my mind from work, from my bills [lol] and etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And before I end typing or thinking about other words for this topic, here's a wonderful saying:</span><br />

Am I Alone?

Judes Biajedor March 30, 2020 Family Health and Mind Society

How many times did you see yourself, alone? Not being with someone?? Or used to doing things on your own? Other people say ...

For the past few years, my life was as ordinary as anyone has, which [yeah] anyone will agree to it.<br />

<br />
<br />
Same as you guys, I've been bullied, beaten up, get stressed, fall in love, overthink and get problems. [Because that's what all of us will experience] But;<br />
<br />
I just want to share with you guys a "something". This thing then opens up my eyes to what is really happening about me.<br />
<br />
Well, I became insecure about how I look - how I dress, how I talk, like most of the things I do-. I keep on depending on other people's opinions and being controlled by it. I was craving for the good comments about myself, yet I also questioned them afterward.<br />
<br />
It was really hard for me to find the answer to what is really happening about me. I've been blind to the expectation of society. And then, last Wednesday, while I was talking to my friend about my life [madaldal kase to'], the topic went to...<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizTNs0-xt5fX1xhN1RyoUrRwtzHG-TN6dbmLxh54Jy-JETOH1BaDtK8bjTiThDttR70A-h1gfykGgqPfZqF2uEO6L5IXudKHESnghoWx5Ba3W7lUjbZg6F6422MGs_WGWfhS-B4narIIU9/s1600/nah.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="577" data-original-width="421" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizTNs0-xt5fX1xhN1RyoUrRwtzHG-TN6dbmLxh54Jy-JETOH1BaDtK8bjTiThDttR70A-h1gfykGgqPfZqF2uEO6L5IXudKHESnghoWx5Ba3W7lUjbZg6F6422MGs_WGWfhS-B4narIIU9/s320/nah.png" width="233" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And at that moment, I suddenly realized, that he was right.</div>
<br />
It is not just the world whom I should blame for what's happening to me, nor the society, the social media, even the anime that I'm watching...BUT.. it is me.<br />
<br />
I let MYSELF be controlled by other people's opinion and the world's want me to be. Instead of doing what I want and be who I AM.<br />
<br />
I let myself be tied up to these things and not knowing the true capabilities that will help me to improve and show what I can do, what I can be.<br />
<br />
It's not that bad to humbly disagree with people who commended you, but putting a wall to yourself of who you can be is different. They may say positive things that it is hard to believe, but HEY! somehow that'll help you, but do not let it be your PATH of WHO YOU REALLY ARE.<br />
<br />
Instead of putting a line-of-defense from all of the people even yourself, why not appreciate it? It isn't that bad. Even the ones who say negative to you, don't worry about them, those words that come out from their mouth, ain't going to pay your bills. [remember that!]<br />
<br />
<b>Most of the time we fight ourselves not realizing we're forgetting who we are, just to satisfy the needs of others.</b><br />
<br />
I know that this may sound weird but, try to hug yourself, learn to appreciate your flaws, and be confident with it. It's hard, though I don't really know how hard it is for you, I've been through with that.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may take a while, but I believe that even if the <b>REAL CHALLENGE</b> is <b>YOU</b>...<b> YOURSELF</b>. You will find the answer and have a fruitful life in the future.</div>
<br /></div>
