How are you? It's been more than a year since I got hold of my blog and I was itching to get back and share my thoughts with you. I super missed blogging and I owe you big time for not updating for months. Since my last blog last 2019 so much happened and work really got in my way. Work occupied most, well not most, almost all of my time that leisure was not an option. And since it was also draining, I tried to sleep on whatever spare time I had. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Anyways, so much for that reasoning. Well since it's a brand new year, I suddenly felt that why don't I get back into writing and sharing my ideas thru this blog. So MUCH happened not only in my life but to the world. January, the Philippines was shocked because of Taal Volcano eruption, which was the first reason why people bought face masks - to protect their lungs from the ashes. Then, there came the news about the corona virus spreading in China. I'm not really sure when was the exact time it entered the Philippines and the virus was labeled as COVID-19. Then quickly, March 17, 2020 Metro Manila was put on a lock down. April and May we went on a Lock down too which was really scary because streets were so quiet, prime commodities were running out, alcohol and face mask price soared high and COVID-19 positives increases every day. While that was happening in our country, news spread all over the world and we found out that Italy and America were greatly affected that the virus reached the level of a "pandemic."</span></p><p><span>This pandemic killed millions of human lives and up until now, 12 months after, the virus generated a new strain which spread quickly in the United Kingdom. Philippines once again let that new strain came in. Thinking about it makes me paranoid..would there be another lock down..would alcohol and face masks ran out again..how many lives will be killed again...but that was me. </span></p><p><span>If you will be observing outside nowadays, people were letting guards down. Most people are not even wearing face shields on crowded areas. Some even pull their face masks down while chit-chatting. This carelessness might be the death of us all. </span></p><p><span>Aside from this pandemic, strong typhoons also hit the country, there were also fire and news was getting worst day by day. But I hope this situation won't led us to massive mental health problems in the future. There are vaccines being tested worldwide to give us the immunity but what will keep us safe is being mindful of not only our own safety but also everyone's safety. If we keep this "indifferent" attitude it won't be long that our country would experience what big countries are experiencing now - bigger number of deaths. But above all, we must trust in God, Our Savior. We must continue to pray that this situation will be over soon and that he would protect us, our family, our country, our world. </span></p><p>What I learned from 2020 is that I must not only be thinking of my safety but also of others. So what if I hoard alcohols if others can't use any, the virus will still spread. If others are wearing face mask and I'm complaining about wearing one, still the virus will spread. What I'm trying to say is that it is a team effort. We cannot beat this virus alone. We must think and care for others too. Secondly, I realized that savings is really important. If haven't safekeep some extra money before the lock down how would we survive? Third, after the lock down and companies re-opened I was scared but I have to be mentally strong to earn money again. I realized that safety is important but my job is also important. If WFH is not possible then be brave enough to go out and work for my family. Fourth, don't rely on what the government can give us. We have to help ourselves too. Fifth, gratitude. Being thankful of what we have and that our family was safe and no one got sick at this time. Remember these are trying times and that with God's grace we will survive this together.</p><p>What have you learned this pandemic? Share it with me below. </p>Miss Laynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226469004859785395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147212989541486878.post-23934141858900255002019-02-09T03:38:00.000-08:002019-02-09T03:38:01.644-08:00Life Lately: January 2019<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are about halfway February! It's the 40th day of 2019. Why so quick?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The past two months passed by so fast that I wasn't even able to open my blog. I was caught up with my new job and the gatherings that took place last December. But this afternoon, I was inspired to make a post after watching<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_q5YvEE8rw" target="_blank"> Lavendaire's latest video</a>. If you do not know her, she's one of my favorite YouTubers that I really look up to. So, this is what happened lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got my student driver's license last November and planned to start my driving lessons with my dad when a good news came in. I got hired on a furniture retail company as an HR Officer and I started on the first week of December. Just in time, because I was honestly on the point where I do not know where to get money (of course I don't want to ask from my parents). So, I grabbed the opportunity because when I was interviewed I fell in love with the nature of business that the Company has. They are offering beautiful designer pieces furniture which is one of my interests. I am into interior design since I was high school and it's one of my childhood dreams (which I gave up because of my Mathematical abilities). Anyway, I am now on my second month and I could say that I have learned a lot. My previous company is way different from my new employer and I am happy because I will be able to expand my experiences on the HR field. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, this January, dad started teaching me the basics of driving. I am nervous and happy because I was able to drive our van within an industrial street. I got to drive it on my own for a few rounds. Hopefully, I could overcome the fear and train my self to be alert to look at the different mirrors to guide me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My goal this 2019 is to learn how to drive and be able to pass the practical driving that LTO has to renew my license into a non-pro level. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So starting December until present, I was really occupied with work. As you know being an HR is not as easy as people see it. It is being of service to your employer and to the employees 24/7. But I feel motivated because I get to experience new things like visiting Showrooms on my own, making a strategy map, sticking to KPIs and how is it working with a Chinese employer, etc. I am also lucky to meet new people at work which opens up new doors for me as well. I hope everything will go well. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey! Christmas is just around the corner and everyone seemed to be very busy to even put up their Christmas trees at home. Lucky, we only have a small version of the tree (which is way cheaper) that we can decorate it even with just a few ornaments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, to spice it up a bit, my sister thought that we go for a purple and silver Christmas theme this year. We gathered up what we can re-use from our decors last year and up-do some to go with the theme. And to add up more glittery effect I thought of making my own snowflakes ornaments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This has been a hit a few years back and there are lots of videos on this if you search on YouTube. So, without further ado let's start our fun and easy DIY!</div>

4. Wait for it to completely cool down. While waiting you can make more patterns and start squeezing the hot glue on it.<br />
<br />
5. When it is cold enough you can start removing strings of excess glue and cleaning up the edges of your snowflakes.<br />

6. You can use it as is or you can add glitters to make it more eye catching. Spread some glue. You can use a paint brush to make sure that the glue is spread evenly. <br />

I made quite a few because they are sooooo cute! It can be hard on your first try but you will get the hang of it after finishing your first snowflake. I enjoyed making this diy glue gun snowflakes. They are so glittery and lovely! It really brings up the mood of Christmas when you add them on your Christmas tree or wreath. Why not try making them too? </div>

We went on a short visit to Pangasinan to have our cars blessed by the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag last weekend. It was a nice experience because it was our first time to travel north with the whole family. So, if you are also planning to go there here's a short summary and guide for the trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>How to Get there</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We left our house at 2:30 am and took the NLEX route from Valenzuela since we are coming from CAMANAVA area. From Balintawak/Valenzuela you have two options: you can exit at SCTEX or you can pass through Sta. Ines exit. That would take you about 45 mins depending on your speed and the toll fee will cost you 45 pesos upon entry at Valenzuela and 236 pesos upon exit at Sta. Ines. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>From NLEX to SCTEX</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Upon egressing Sta. Ines, we passed through Concepcion-Magalang Road until we entered Concepcion Interchange which is still part of SCTEX. We continued traveling until we reached Tarlac City Interchange which is the end of SCTEX and the start of TPLEX. From Concepcion to Tarlac City Interchange it costs around 56 pesos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>From SCTEX to TPLEX</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So from Tarlac City Interchange we continued driving until we reached Binalonan exit which costs around 235 pesos. From Binalonan exit you have to turn left to reach Manaoag (if you turn right you will be directed to Binalonan proper). And that was the end of TPLEX. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>(NLEX) Valenzuela - Sta. Ines exit - (SCTEX) Concepcion - Tarlac City exit - (TPLEX) Tarlac - Binalonan exit </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>From Binalonan to Manaoag</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From Binalonan exit you have to drive along Binalonan-Dagupan highway which took us about 15 minutes to reach the welcoming arch of Manaoag and from there about 10-15 mins depending on the volume of cars in the area. We went on a weekend so we expected traffic but luckily at 5:45 am the traffic is not that bad. We set foot inside the Church before 6 am. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, we were trapped by several guys who guided us to a parking space instead on the queue going inside the Church for the blessing. There were a lot of them around the Church so beware. Instead of having the cars blessed we opted to walk to the Church and attend the Holy Mass first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If your goal is to have you car blessed, you have to avoid talking to guys who would promise to assist you on the line. Much better if you just closed your windows and drive through the front of the Church (Milo Street) and turn left on Castro Street which is on the left side of the Church. The line for car blessing usually starts there up until you reach Malapit Street which is on the rear side of the Church where Gate 6 is located. Gate 6 is the entrance allotted for car blessing.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The car blessing is done in batches so while waiting in the car you can eat your breakfast. It took us 30 minutes until we finally entered the Church. Then the blessing took only 3-5 minutes per car. Don't forget to give donations to the Church. Of course, the blessing would be more powerful if you also pray to Mama Mary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After the blessing, you can opt to look for a parking space so you can spend more time on the Church or attend the Mass. Then, don't forget to grab a souvenir or eat tupig on your way out! We bought tupig for 5 pieces at P20 and some bracelets at P20-30. There are also fruit stands and stores selling shirts and relics around the Church. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And that was it, we headed back home at around 11 am and had our lunch at City Mall SCTEX Concepcion. We reached Valenzuela Exit at around 3 pm. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
October is about to end tomorrow and we only have about 56 days to go before Christmas. Aren't you excited?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, how are you all doing? I hope you are having a good month so far. It was raining outside and I had the mood to update my blog this afternoon so, here I am. By the way, I'd like to thank all of you guys who are continuously reading my blog and checking out my updates. I love you guys! Thank you for supporting a personal/DIY blog like mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is just a quick update that I wanted to share. I know last month was not so good. You can check out my blog post last September <a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2018/09/life-lately-september-2018.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Because of all the worries I had, I failed to appreciate the positive things that's happening that time. But now, I think October is way better. Unluckily, I am still spending more time at home. I was not able to take the Licensure exam for Psychometrician (which was happening today) because I still lack a lot of requirements. Then, I also failed to take the Comprehensive exam that we had at the Graduate school to qualify for Thesis writing because I also lack a few requirements in which I was not informed were needed. I tried to process them but it's too late. Up until now, one of my requirements is still on-process at our University so I guessed this is not really the time for taking exams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the good thing is, we have consulted to a Pulmonologist around the end of the 1st week of September and he said that I should have stopped taking the medications because my lungs are already cleared and recovered. That means I am now free of the disease and can now go back to working! I was so happy that day! Finally I can stop the medications and go back to normal life. I thank God for answering my prayers, so I promised to live a healthier lifestyle from now on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to do that, I started to build small habits to take care of myself. I started tracking out my water intake to make sure I drink enough 8-9 glasses of water a day. Because I was lacking on that when I was sick. </div>

I was also doing a 5-15 minutes meditation from time to time to focus myself on the present and forget regretting the past and worrying for the future. This is one of the mistakes I did last month that made me feel so down. With meditating, I have a time to reflect on what's happening within me and be at peace for a few minutes. I do enjoy the calmness it brings me and helps me make it through the day. </div>

Plus, I went into a 5 days social media detox which continued for another 2 weeks because our internet connection was broken too. So, I was able to escape all the comparison, negativity and pressure that social media brings me. It was a blessing in disguise that we have no internet for a few days because we were able to sleep early and think clearly without bothering what's happening on the web. If you want to know more about the social media detox I did check it out on my other blog<b> <a href="http://iheartpsych.blogspot.com/2018/10/going-on-social-media-detox.html" target="_blank">here!</a></b></div>

I also celebrated my birthday this month and I am so happy that I was able to reach this age. A time to be a real adult now. I am so grateful for all the things that happened to me, may it be good or bad and all the people that I met while I was journeying on my life. I had a simple birthday celebration with my family. I guess celebrations becomes fewer when you are getting older. Haha!</div>

This month, I was also into reading books. I finished reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan in 3 days. It was a good read. It was my first time to read a novel involving Asians so it's really nice. I love how Kevin narrates and describes the lifestyle of the characters. But the ending is such a tease. I have to buy the next book. I super enjoyed the whole book. You have to read it too! Aside from that, I was also into Wattpad stories the past few days (I know it's kinda late and most of the good novels on Wattpad are already published but the stories I have read are really worth reading). I've read romance, chicklit stories like Just Friends, A Room for my Pretend, A Blind Date, Blown by the Wind and Psycho. </div>

I also watched a few movies like Midnight Sun which is a must-watch for romance lovers; Me Again which is an eye-opener; and Hereditary which is a combination of horror and psycho thriller. </div>

I also get to maintain an organized wardrobe this month. I am not a person who loves seeing clothes hanging in order but I made it a point this month to deal with my clothes, arrange and organize them and actually maintain a neat drawer the whole month. I am happy to finally put them in order and keep all the clothes that I do not usually wear to save up some space. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also started looking out for a new job and when I have free time I do watercolor painting. I love painting because it made my mind wander on other things aside from things that I worry about. It is relaxing and therapeutic as well. I made a few works lately. </div>

They are quite simple but it's what I can do so I'm happy with them. I am planning to make more mini paintings like these for Christmas. I'll be using them on another Watercolor DIY so stay tuned for that in a few days. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's basically what happened the past few days of October. Of course, I was doing my daily activities but what I mentioned above are some of the highlights I had this month. October has been my happy month not only because it was my birth month but because I appreciated all the blessings that God has given me. I focused more on the good things that's happening and that is what's more important. If you keep dwelling on the negative things your days will all be gloomy so stop doing that girl! Cheer up!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First, you need to decide what would be the size and shape of your bookmarks. Tip: to make it easy try making rectangular bookmarks as your first project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, line the borders of your bookmarks with artist tape. This is to make sure the water will not spill all over the paper you are using. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that, you can now spread some water on the paper. Make sure it is not too watery. Just enough to wet the whole space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, start painting the design that you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On my first bookmark, I decided that I'll only mix vibrant colors. Without any pattern in mind, I randomly selected the colors and dip my brush on water and started painting. </div>

For the second piece, I choose to have a sunset vibe so I used the sunset colors (yellow, orange, red and pink) and layer them on my paper. Remember you can have different shades from one color just by mixing it with different amount of water so just be playful!</div>

This is so cool! It only took me about 10 mins to make these two cute DIY Watercolor Bookmarks. So try making your own to! Btw, I also did a different version of bookmarks a few months ago! You can check them out <b><a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2018/07/do-it-yourself-activities-that-will.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</b> Have a nice day!</div>

Hi guys! How are you all doing?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided to make a short post today because I kinda need something to uplift my mood from all the worries I've been having lately. My last <i>Life lately</i> post was way back <a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2018/05/life-lately-may-2018.html" target="_blank">May 2018</a> and it's literally months before I finally obliged myself to make another post. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see, I have not made a post last month because I could not find any motivation aside from water color painting. And all the activities I did seemed to be more related on my other blog which is by the way: <a href="http://www.iheartpsych.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">iheartpsychology</a> which is a blog on random things about my interest in Psychology. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spent the last three months attending seminars on Psychology and mental health and reading and "reviewing" my psychology subjects for the licensure exam but unfortunately, I changed my mind (I am like this, I always change my mind). I stopped reviewing for the licensure exam instead I focused myself on the upcoming Comprehensive examination that we have at the graduate school to qualify for the Thesis Writing subject which was the last requirement I have to complete so I can finally finish my Master's degree and graduate. I spent my time preparing my requirements and going back and forth to our university to check my application for the examination. But up until now, there is no update yet if I could take the exams or not. So, this is actually my <i>first worry</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

I wanted and I ought to take the exam this semester or else I have to re-take most of the subjects I already completed because I will be charged with penalty and over-staying. In preparation for the exam, of course I have to reread my notes and review. And that's my <i>second worry</i>. Would I pass the exam with the way I am reviewing? Because I cannot concentrate on reviewing at home since there are a lot of distractions and chores to do. I spent lesser time each day reading and reviewing, My mind seemed to be not on the mood for memorizing, analyzing and all that. I only have 2 weeks to go before the exam and I honestly read only 2 pages as of today. Could I pass the exams? Huhu!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, the fact that I am sick. The reason why I quit my job and why I am spending my time at home with my parents. My <i>third worry</i>. I wanted to be cured. I have been taking my meds for exactly a year now. But unfortunately, we went to an examination today and the result says I am still sick. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know how to feel right now. So I was really looking for something to caught my attention (so I open my blog and here I am) rather than feeling down because of the results. It's just that I felt suffocated that I still have to spend more time at home doing things that are necessary for daily living but would not help me achieve the things I wanted to do. I also felt tired of all the arguments my parents have been doing every day, it sucks. I know it's just normal with parents to shout over petty problems but I am the kind of person who can't stand too much noise. I felt irritated and tired of them. And their arguments and complains with one another just ruin my mood to concentrate and study. They are the best distractions I have. You might suggest why don't I study outside instead. I can do that but I don't want to spend money. So, it's a no for now. And money is my <i>fourth worry</i> too. I have too little savings left. And I need a job to earn money. But because I am sick I couldn't look for work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These things kept me from sleeping lately so I thought I have to let go of my thoughts and write them down. I know worrying is not good, but I am a worrier. I am so stressed right now. Thankfully I have watched a few videos of Lavendaire and that kinda uplift my spirit. I just realized that at whatever point in my life I am right now, I am on my track. Maybe God is leading me into something that is not on my plan because He has better plans for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe I should not worry too much but instead I have to trust in His plans for me. I may not be healed right now but it is not the end of the world and I am not dying yet so why should I feel down?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe this time I have to do it better. Be really concern with my health and discipline myself to a healthier lifestyle. Drink more water and exercise regularly. I have to start and be consistent. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of focusing on my worries I should be focusing on positive things that happened lately. By the way, I was spending time doing my small business. I am selling homemade ice cream in jars to my relatives and friends. And I have been receiving positive feedback from them. I should be focusing more time on marketing my product so I could earn more. I enjoyed mixing different flavors and tasting ice cream. I made the label by myself. I also made an improvised waterproof sticker at first and finally I have it printed on vinyl for mass production. I am so happy because I made the sticker layout on Photoscape my favorite photo editor. I love how the label turned out. </div>

Then, I am also grateful that I finally had the complete list of my graduate school grades. I have requested this last 2015 but the registrar said that my professor did not encoded my grades yet. Finally, I saw my grades and I am so happy that I successfully pass all the subjects. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am also feeling positive after seeing my friends and workmates. It made me remember all good memories we have at work. I am happy I earned new friends like them while at work. I so missed working and listening to their stories made me jealous but at the same time I am happy for their progress. I just wished we could see each other more often as friends not me as their boss. </div>

Hi guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally the sun is up today after a few days of heavy rain. I got to wash my laundry and did a 30-minute cardio workout this morning. I have been occupied with reading psychology books the past few weeks because I was hoping to pass our comprehensive exam this October (that's for my master's degree). But still there should be breaks in between because studying is sometimes boring. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what I did during breaks?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I helped my sister with this so called Diamond 5D Painting set that was popular these days. Her best friend gave it to her and she let me try doing it. This Diamond 5D painting set is actually small geometric gems which shines like diamond when illuminated. It is based on the concept of mosaics and painting by numbers. </div>

It is actually fun to do and helps beat boredom. It's just that, it is a bit pricey here in the Philippines. A simple design like above costs around 500-700 pesos. But it is a cool form of art that you can frame and hang on your walls, like what we used to do with paper quilling and cross-stitching. </div>

Then, I also did some organization at the house and found this mini coloring notebook I bought when this was a hit a year ago. I used my Joy Watercolor Set to color the small details while killing time and relaxing my brain after a 2-hour-reading. </div>

And just today, I had my watercolor painting session in between my readings. I got the idea from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/makoccinos/videos" target="_blank">makoccino</a>'s videos. I found out about her videos a few days ago and I thought I tried some of the watercolor techniques she mentioned. </div>

I'm glad I was able to apply her techniques although it did not went as what she did, I was able to manage the color mixing. I'm satisfied with the outcome. I now had four new bookmarks! Yey!</div>

We all had busy lives but it is not good to just work, work and work. Give your selves time to rest and enjoy the beauty of life. As I have read, doing arts and craft activities during your leisure time helps you express your emotions and ideas. Rather than using words to communicate, doing art activities will also help you release whatever your mouth could not speak out. Doing crafts also prevent you from opening social media sites which according to studies are causes of depression and other mental health problems. If you are in distress because of heavy and challenging work load give yourself a few minutes and do something artsy-partsy like making your own watercolor bookmarks. Finishing an artwork will give us a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment which can add up to boost our self-esteem too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, rather than spending hours browsing your social media accounts or spending thousands of money into shopping even if you had enough clothes, let your self experience crafting and unleash your creative side. It can be the therapy that you've been needing. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, I did some art supplies shopping with my sister. We went to Miniso at SM North Edsa, then Novo and Pandayan Bookshop. It's been a long time since we bought craft supplies and we're happy we went shopping today 'cause we found some cool stuff. </div>

From Novo, I got this cute polka dots clip board. I was really looking for a cute clip board even before because I love to read documents while lying on bed and this will be helpful to support the papers I am reading. It comes in 2 shades, I got the teal-orange shade and the other is darker blue-grayish shade of dots. This costs thirty five pesos (35php).</div>

Next, I got a cute A6 blank stitched notebook that comes in 2 types of paper. One is cream colored and the middle part is the recycled/craft type. Since this is a blank notebook, I think this will be perfect for journaling or a travel diary. I will use this as my review notebook. I got this for only fifty pesos (50php) at Novo. By the way, Novo usually change their stocks every month so, if you find something cool like these blank notebook make sure to grab it. </div>

I also bought this simple black picture frame which I used as an improvised whiteboard for my reminders. It is super handy and I was kinda disappointed because I thought it was made of glass but it's not (that's why it's cheap). But still it's usable. This is only forty five pesos (45php) at Novo and comes in color white too. </div>

Next stop, Miniso. My sister is planning to learn calligraphy so we tried a few brush pen at Miniso. We are not yet sure though if it will work good. But we bought two shades of Miniso Aquarelle Brush pens, in black and teal. It costs around a hundred pesos each (100php). </div>

Lastly, we went to the nearest Pandayan Bookshop. My basic water color set went missing last month. I totally forgot where I kept it. I searched around the house, even my sister helped me out but it's really nowhere to be found. So, I opted to buy this Joy water color set. It comes in twelve colors. I used this kind of water color during my grade school days and it works fine. This will do, since I'll be using it just to decor my review notes. It is about thirty three pesos (33php).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also bought a set of Smart brushes which costs around thirty eight pesos (38php). The other one is missing because my dad used it already.</div>

I also bought three regular sized washi tapes. They have different prices since they came from different brands. The green tape costs around twenty nine pesos (29php), the light violet stripped one costs twenty four pesos (24php) and the white with leaves design that comes with a tape dispenser costs around thirty six pesos (36php), not bad. I bought only one piece with dispenser because it's interchangeable and I can cut the tapes by my hands if I need to. I don't need pricey washi tapes.</div>

She also got this border puncher for her scrap book. She's looking for this at the local craft store but can't find one until she found it at Pandayan. This comes in different designs that's good for invitation cards, book marks, tags or school projects. This costs around one hundred and ten pesos (110php). It's a bit expensive but it's a rare find.</div>

Now look at these colors! You might think that it's hand painted at a glance. But it's a set of origami paper. It is so lovely. I super love the galaxy design, you might have seen my two artworks before in galaxy theme. Plus, that colorful sky themed paper is so pretty. A set costs around forty pesos (40php) only for about 50 sheets. This is really perfect for scrap booking!</div>

And that was it! It's not much but I think we got what we needed. Doing arts and crafts once in a while will relieve you from stress and it's also a way to unleash your creativity. So, when you have spare time, shop for supplies and don't forget to check the stores I mentioned, who knows you might also find colorful, fancy, cute art supplies there. </div>

This month I'd like to share with you what took my attention last month of June. Well, I am still into watching Youtube vids in between my books and these girls did not fail me. I selected my big four favorite Youtubers. Haha! Tried my video editing skills again with the help of VLC and VSDC Video Editor. Please check it out guys!</div>

June has been a good one. I finally decided to pursue my masters degree and review for the qualifying exams this coming October. Yes, I am into studying again. I also received an advertising opportunity for my other blog. I hope it works. And two emails for blog exposure. I hope I could spend more time into blogging. I also revived my second blog and tweek a few things on the theme, which is about psychology topics particularly about the BLEPP held here in the Philippines. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since I have been spending more times at home, I used that to try and learn new things. As you can see I've watch movies, read books, went back to my hobbies and tried simple and fun recipes to cover those extra hours. But aside from that, the last few months also opened my eyes to a new advocacy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have shared before that since I was a kid I always stood by "fairness and equality" and that is how my sibs knew me. I never like situations wherein I sense discrimination and unfair judgment. And just because I have more time alone away from stress, I have discover my new advocacy in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to make my own little steps to be part of the Zero Waste campaigns as a way to save our Mother Earth. As a young adult, I have seen how our environment had changed, badly. In a sense that our nature was destroyed in order to welcome new developments that we humans think is needed in order to live a better life. Yes, these developments gave a comfortable life but in the long run our children (my children to be) and grandchildren will suffer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily, the PH government decided to shutdown tourist activities on the popular beach of the Philippines, Boracay to clean and organize the sewage system around the island. Because the beach is getting worst due to the indifference of the people inhabiting and making business on the island and the tourists using the place without respect to the environment. That is a sample how our nature deteriorates because of developments. I certainly hope Boracay would be able to recover back it's breath-taking beauty, the way I saw it when I was a child. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, to make my steps towards helping and being part of this advocacy to zero waste, as a start I promised myself to bring my weapons with me whenever we go out to eat. Me and my friends love eating on fast food chains and food parks wherein they usually use plastic or styro packaging for food. And after eating, the plastics and styros that we used usually go and adds up to the pile of waste that our city has. Imagine how many times you go out with your friends and enjoy your drinks within plastic or paper cups. Imagine how many times you ate delivered lunch with your workmates and the paper boxes, plastic spoons and forks or styros are immediately thrown out to the garbage. If you combine them together I am sure that you can put up a big pile of trash in front of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since this can be an impending problem for all of us, a problem that cannot be solved if only a few people will work let us do our share. Like what Victor Frankl once stated, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Let us start the solution within ourselves, within our home and from there share it to your community. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From now own I will always use and bring my own set of spoon and fork. I'll refuse to use plastic spoon and fork whenever I eat or buy food outside. I'll bring with me also my own tumbler and refrain from buying bottled drinks. I know it is just a simple act. Yes it is. But this is a good start right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from that, I will also join the upcoming <b>Zero Waste + Sustainable Fair happening this July 21-22, 2018</b>, the first ever <b>THE GOOD TRADE</b> in Manila. This will take place at Central Square, Bonifacio Global City from 10:00am to 10:00pm, free registration. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we had a <a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2018/06/one-ingredient-snack.html" target="_blank">one-ingredient snack</a>, I thought of having a two-ingredient breakfast too. Yes! You heard it right, only two ingredients needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I learned this through a video around FB but I could not remember who owned it. You can try searching this on YouTube I guess, if it's available. This is easy to make too and I know some of you have already tried this too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's my first time trying this one so come join me as I make a <b>Banana Pancake</b> <i>with no-added sugar. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What we need are three (3) pieces of ripe bananas. Make sure they are ripe because we need it to be a bit sweet. Then 2 pieces of eggs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's what you have to do: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remove the skin of the bananas and slice them into thin pieces. Once you're done, mash them all together. Add in 2 eggs and whisk them all together. Until you get a kinda runny mixture like what I have here. </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, heat your non-stick pan on medium heat. Lower it down when it is hot. Then, pour in about three tablespoon of the mixture and form a circle. Just like when your making a pancake. When the sides turn golden brown, turn the pancake the other side and let it cook until it is golden brown too. Remove from the heat. You can top it with powdered sugar, chocolate or maple syrup or honey and butter. </div>

My gosh! This is so good. I love bananas too! Try this recipe too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bananas are known to be rich in <b>potassium</b> and has high <b>fiber</b> that is good for the heart so this will be a perfect breakfast for the whole family. Three pieces of bananas and 2 eggs made 4 pieces of pancakes.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I so love any food with cheese may it be Parmesan, Mozzarella, Cheddar, cream cheese, "kesong-puti" or those types that I could not even pronounced properly. Cheese gave out the salty, milky and creamy texture in food, more specifically the "umami" taste. In short, it makes your food taste even better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we have a pack of Parmesan cheese at home, I thought of making my own <b>Parmesan chips</b>. This is a super easy snack that is worth your time! It could even replace your favorite junk foods in no-time.<br />

This is super easy and you can make this with your kids or with your <i>barkada</i>. Heat the pan in medium heat. When it's hot, lower down the fire. Then, get a tablespoon of grated Parmesan and pour in your pan. Make sure you form a circle or oblong shape. Remember to flatten the cheese but not to the point that it scatters on the pan so thinly. Keep in mind how thin a piece of potato chip is, that is what we're aiming. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is how it will look like once you add more table spoons of cheese on the pan over a low heat. </div>

I swear just one ingredient make this snack so good. It's so crunchy, yummy and perfect for cheese-lovers like me. It also looks so pretty! Try making these too instead of buying chips. I only spend a hundred and sixty pesos for the pack of grated cheese which can make more than a bowl of Parmesan chips which you can share with the whole family or with the whole gang.<br />

I've been watching movies the whole week of June since I am stucked inside the house due to my health condition. I've been dreaming of spending afternoons like this, in front of the TV or my laptop and just watch movies that I missed to watch because of heavy work loads and now it happened!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know most of you have already watched these films but let me share it for those who are still meaning to watch it this 2018. I'll just give them short reviews and a bit of a teaser. </div>

A Bug's Life 😃😃😃</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Bug's Life is a 1998 computer-animated film. I don't know about this movie until I stumbled upon it. It's a cute movie I must say. And I kinda relate with them because once in my childhood I have played as an Ant on a school play. Since then, I am always fascinated with ants. This film made me even more amazed with their existence. They are really the best depiction of unity, cooperation, determination and bravery. I must say children nowadays should watch this movie. It leaves me thinking that we should believe in ourselves, do not let the opinion of others bring us down. Prove to them that we can do it!</div>

Meet Me In St. Gallen 💜💜💜💜</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is a local rom-com movie released last February 2018. This is the 2nd local rom-com movie I watched after "Kita Kita" just recently. I loved how brave the characters were, to make an actual conversation with a stranger. Karamihan kasi sa mga Filipino mailap at mapanghusga kaya hndi agad agad makikipag-usap sa hindi nila kakilala. But I've been wanting to do that too. Kasi you would not know that that stranger na lagi mong nakakasalubong sa daan, nakakasabay sa UV or nakakatabi sa bus could change your life with just a single conversation. This movie tells a fresh kind of love story. It made me realize that in life or in love you have to take risks to answer the 'what ifs.' Speak out your heart before it's too late.</div>

Every Day 💜💜💜</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Every Day is also a 2018 movie. It is an American romantic fantasy drama based on the novel, "Every Day" by David Levithan. I was quite confused with the movie at the beginning because I haven't read the book. As I understand it the main characters in the film are different from each other. But love made its way. This film shows that love does not see what is outside, it sees what is inside. So, it doesn't matter what he/she looks like as long as you love the person, you'll do anything to be with them. However, at the end of the film they came to realize that they are different and the fact that every day is different is setting them apart. I was hopeful but I did not get the ending that I want. So sad. </div>

The Commuter 👊👊👊</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Liam Neeson is one of my favorite action stars. He had the lead role in this movie called The Commuter which was released also early this year. This is an action thriller movie that made me realize that our parents are right when they instructed us not to talk to strangers ever when we were young. The movie is about a setup which the lead character accidentally fell into and was forced to continue when he realized that his family's life is at stake. The plot revolves around the question "what kind of person are you?" If I will be on the shoes of the lead character I would not listen to the woman, she's a complete stranger and I was on hurry going back home, I have no time. I would not be brave and noble enough to even try to look for the money that she promises. Because I have a choice in the first place...to follow her or not. I'd rather not involve myself in that kind of situation. I could say that the climax of the film is in the middle part because at the end of the movie I lost track of the plot. The background of the witness was not emphasized and there is a mysterious character that was not emphasized in the movie too. Could there be a part 2?</div>

Everything, Everything 💜💜💜</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This movie hit the screen last 2017, an American romantic drama about a girl with SICD and her neighbor whom she fell in love with and how their love will bring them together despite of the girl's illness. This is based on the novel, Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. Despite of not being able to read the book I was able to understand the film in itself. However, I was disappointed because I thought the ending would be a dramatic one since she had a serious illness but it turned out different. I thought it was about fighting your illness and finding happiness no matter what chronic or serious condition you were in. But at the end of the story, it was about a mother's selfish love of her daughter which prevented her from experiencing the outside world like a normal teenager would have. The story started out really dramatic but the ending is more on the relaxed, teenage love side. So then, I just thought that life should go on, do not let your illness eat you up or cage you up. Experience life because we only have one shot at this. </div>

Me Before You 💜💜💜💜</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Me Before You was released last 2016, based on the book written by Jojo Moyes. Among the films I watched a few days ago, this movie has been romantic and so moving that I cried out when Will still pursued the decision he made before he met Louisa. This movie emphasized that if you truly love the person you will let him do whatever makes him happy, even if it means saying goodbye. And the fact that we only have one life to live so we better make the most of it (isn't this line a Bruno Mars song? ahaha!). Its just sad that Will left though he left a message for Lu to live well, but I am happy because even though he left Louisa still have him in her heart while she's chasing her dreams. I so love this film that I might buy the book too.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey! We're on the fifth day of June and I thought of sharing you my month's favorites. This is the first time I will be doing this. And I am really excited to share them with you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Favorite cookies</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cookies are my favorite and I thought of making my own version of Chocolate crinkles or chocolate cracked cookies at home. It turned out good. In a few minutes all cookies were gone. If you want to make your own I suggest you do a search on YouTube you'll find quite a number of recipes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Favorite merienda</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Summer is about to end because almost everyday rain pours in the afternoon. And when it's raining a cup of "Champorado" will be your best companion. I love this easy to cook <b>Champ-O-Rado</b> from White King. It's a perfect blend of glutinous rice and cocoa. Just add sugar and water. Super easy to make and can make 5-10 cups with just less than 60 pesos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fave past time</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whenever I felt like painting I just grab my watercolor and water brush pen and start painting. Inspiration is the key. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Favorite Skin Care product</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been loving <b>Dermplus After Sun Hydrating Body Gel</b> since my officemate gave it to me. It's so hydrating without the sticky feeling like after applying creams or lotion on your skin. It also smells good and at night it can be an insect repellent too. It soothes my skin leaving it smelling fresh and smooth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Favorite Thirst Quencher</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Dalandan and since it's summer I thought of turning my favorite fruit juice into a <i>fruitsicle</i>. To make it easier just grab a pack of <b>Nesfruta Dalandan</b> juice and mix it with 1 liter of water and pour it into your popsicle moulds. A pitcher can make about 10-12 pieces of <i>fruitsicle</i>. You can also try Melon, Guyabano, Mango and Orange flavors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fave Healthy Dessert</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking for a healthy dessert? Try dried Kiwi slices. It's so good. A bit sour and a bit sweet. It so cute too. It's my first time to taste dried Kiwis. It is available at a candy stall in South Supermarket Valenzuela. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Favorite YouTube Channel</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/LloydCafeCadenaTV" target="_blank">Lloyd Cadena's</a></b> channel has been my go-to videos whenever I feel down because I swear you would laugh your heart out while watching his clips and vlogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month I also discovered<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Lavendaire" target="_blank"> <b>Lavendaire's</b> </a>channel. Her videos are so relaxing and inspiring. Maybe it's because of her minimalist style and because of the calmness of her voice. If you need to relieve stress, look for motivation and be inspired to love yourself more visit her channel too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's my May 2018 favorites. How about you guys? Please share with me your current favorites or if you happen to try out the products I mentioned give me your opinions too. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe that's the big question going on in your head after your graduation day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before, you thought exams and thesis are the hardest thing you need to get through but you are wrong. Graduating from college is just a ticket to meet your dreams. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graduation is just the start of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So now, that you have your diploma what should you do to get a job - the career that you dream of, the job that your school promises you'll get after finishing your degree?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, if you haven't find the answer yet I suggest you start googling. Millenials and generation Z are lucky to have all the answers in just a few clicks here and there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I thought, why shouldn't I google with them since I am also unemployed right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google gave me answers around:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
♕Making a good resume and cover letter...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
♕Interview questions you should answer before going to a real interview...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
♕Making an account on job portal with thousands of job vacancies...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
♕Quick tips to ace an interview...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and so much more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost all the answers that Google gave me are helpful and I myself have also followed when I was on your shoes looking for a job. But let me pinpoint some of the tips which I have done and proven effective when I was starting my career. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How to find a job?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we are on a highly technological era, looking for a job is a lot easier. When I was a teen my aunts and uncles used to buy newspaper every morning if they want to look for a new job. Now, we can start our hunt in the most easiest way.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<br />1. Look for a job</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Check FB Groups</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Open your FB account and join job hunting groups if you are not yet ready to go out. There are loads of companies posting their job vacancies on social media sites like Facebook. You could see a wide range of jobs by joining an FB group. FB Groups are distinguished by the location of the job offerings or the type of jobs you can find in the group. Example: Metro Manila Jobs, Quezon City Jobs, Call Center/BPO jobs, Parttime/Freelancer jobs, etc. Just search, join and wait for the group admins to accept your request. After you were approved, you'll get to see thousands of jobs from one group to the other. But the cons is you will not know who among the posers are real and legit. So before going on an interview make sure to spend extra time to research about the background of the person posting the job vacancy. That way you'll have an idea how he/she is related to the company and what kind of company is he/she promoting. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you haven't found any connection between the poser and the company, or any information pertaining to the company even outside social media it might mean that it's not legal. So think twice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Browse Job Portals</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can make an account and an online resume on a Job Portal. Job portals are like bridges. They help you find the latest job vacancies from different companies across the country and the company would also get access to your resume to check if you are fit for the job. Having an account on a job portal makes it easier for you to be notified of new job vacancies, how much a company could offer for a certain position, where the company is located and more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got my first job by joining a job portal so do not forget to join one too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Submit your resume on your P.E.S.O.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a millenial or a generation Z you could have heard that each local government has their own Public Employment and Services Office (PESO). They are the ones who can also help you earn a job because they keep a record of all legit companies within your municipality. Companies went to PESO offices to submit their latest vacancies and they are given the opportunity to search the PESO Resume bank and look for qualified candidates. Who knows you'll be picked by a big company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a directory of <a href="http://ble.dole.gov.ph/index.php/porgrams-projects/2013-12-16-01-22-48/peso-directory" target="_blank">PESO Offices</a>, inquire how to join and submit your resume.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Join Job Fairs</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After looking online, you also have to do it personally. Prepare a resume and join a job fair. Job fairs are the best place to find a job because there is a higher chance that companies invited by the organizers are all legit. You will be asked a few questions and be invited for a formal interview on the company you submitted your resume to. This event is a way for you to spread your resumes and let companies know that you are eager to earn a job on their company. On a job fair do not be afraid to submit your resumes. The more resumes you distribute the higher your chances are on getting an interview schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I earned my second job through submitting my resume on a job fair held by our local government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Checkout the website of the company you are eyeing for</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to earn a job on a decent company better go directly on their website and checkout the careers they are offering. If the website seems not updated, look for the contact number and call the HR if they have vacancies. Come on don't be shy. What if they are looking for someone like you. Email them your best resume. If no response after a week do a follow up. Perseverance is the key!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Ask your friends</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also try calling out your friends, your high school classmates, let them know you are looking for a job. Ask them if they know any vacancy that would fit for you. Asking is not a thing you should be shy for. Just give it a try so there will be no what ifs in the end. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<br />2. Prepare your Resume and your Cover Letter</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Invest time on making your resume precise, direct and outstanding because that piece of paper will speak a lot about you. There are a lot of tips on how to make the best resume. Do your research and compose what fits you. Also, make a cover letter as an introduction to yourself. Most applicants does not include a cover letter when they are applying - well it's not required but it will make your application more personal. And please just state relevant facts about you. Do not include your favorite color, hobbies, names of your children or make your parents as your character reference. If you want an idea about making your own resume click <a href="https://resumegenius.com/how-to-write-a-resume" target="_blank">here</a>. If you do know what is a cover letter click <a href="https://www.thebalancecareers.com/cover-letters-4161919" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Research the job </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before applying research about the job you want to have. Look for a sample job description, salary range and qualification so you'll have an idea what to expect on an interview. Your parents and relatives might also give you some hints so ask them too. By researching you could see what skills are expected of you so you can prepare in advance. Research also for testimonials or reviews about the company you want to join. <i>Before they know you, you should know them first. </i>Read their company history and the products and services they provide. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Attend the Interview</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking for a job is really difficult so if an employer calls you regarding your application answer them. You submitted an application so you have to expect that there will be an interview. You are lucky that a company is considering you for an interview. There are a lot of other aspirants but they chose your application so why not attend the interview? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just like to remind all applicants who confirmed to attend an interview to at least be nice and decent to the person who called and scheduled you for an interview. If you confirmed, please show yourself on the scheduled interview. <i>Kung sinabi ninyong aattend kayo, please umattend kayo. 'Wag niyong paasahin yung mga HR or Recruitment Officers na kumontak sa inyo. </i>Because while it is hard to find a job it is also difficult on our part to find the right candidate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you confirmed yet you changed your mind, be decent enough to inform the person who contacted you in advance. Do not ruin someone's day by being not true to your word. Because they changed their whole schedule or even their boss's schedule just to squeeze your interview in and give you a chance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do not turn down an interview too just because you are frightened about the questions that will be asked to you. Prepare your self. Do a simulation with your friend and practice answering common interview question. Just be prepared and be yourself. Think positively and pray. The interview is your chance so do not waste it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<br />5. Follow up for the result</h3>
<div>
After the interviews are over, let a few days pass. But if it's been a week or two and you haven't heard from them, you have to follow up and ask for the result. Most of the time the HR or recruiter is too busy that he/she forgot to call all applicants who finished the interview for the result so it is a good option to follow up. But be ready for whatever result they might give. If you do not follow up you'll never know what happened. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I hope these five tips would be helpful to you. By following these simple tips I'm sure you'll land on your dream job easily. If you want to earn a job work for it. Do not just wait for the job to come to you. As a college graduate make use of what you have learned, share your skills and help your family build a better future. It's hard to finish college but mind you it is harder to decide what career path you should pursue. So be wise in looking for a job because in the end the job you choose will also define you. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just got back into reading and this is the first book that I finished. Last book I read is <i>The Guardian </i>by Nicholas Sparks in 2016 if I am not mistaken. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This book, <i>Thirteen Reasons Why</i> intrigued me because I have seen the ads made by Netflix since they made an original series based on this novel. And this month would be the start of the second season. Netflix made another season which I was excited about because I don't know where would it lead since they already finished the book and Jay Asher helped in doing the plot of the 2nd series. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I bought the book there are two covers available, the one I bought and the other one got Clay Jensen's character which is kind of reflecting Hannah Baker (which is a bit pricey than the one I bought) so I got really hooked. Okay, let's move into the plot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Plot</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The whole story revolves around the tapes which Hannah Baker, a high school student, made and sent to the other students from her school which made her decide to end her misery. She imparts the story of bullied students and how they might see things happening around them bearing in mind that they would never belong or would never be significant in this world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was bullied through a gossip made by the guy she used to like and a negative reputation was established out of a comparison list made by an acquaintance which she thought was someone whom she can lean on since they were both new to the school. And series of events happened which I think made her feel like a toy being tossed around, played with and then thrown away after being torn and broken. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The POV</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story is in a third person's point of view, Clay Jensen is the one narrating the story. The plot is really a thriller. It is unique and was able to capture what bullying was really like in the real world. I just wished that Hannah explained it more in detail before deciding to end it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was bullying in two point of views. The view of the person being bullied. How she felt, how she build hatred to the people involved and how she understands their actions. And the view of a watcher, the person who sees how someone is being bullied. How this person feels the eagerness to help but at the same time the doubt to stand up against the bullies, being afraid that he might be next or being afraid to complicate things even more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Climax</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think the climax happened at the party, wherein the 2 lead characters in this book shared a brief moment together. The climax for me is the most disappointing part. It is where I felt so disappointed to both Hannah and Clay. If she just opened up a bit she might have the help she needed. If he just insisted and pursued more, Hannah might gave in. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Climax also twisted into something darker that I never expected. You must really read this!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope I am not giving out so much information for those who are eyeing this book. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plot is so good and mysterious. The main characters are so strong and really has an impact in the real world. If the things that happened to Hannah Baker would happen to me, I think I might also consider what she did. But hey, we are now in the modern world. You can get all the help you need in just a few clicks. The story happened so fast that you will not have time to leave it hanging. It is about love, family, school, friendship, wanting to belong, reputation, hatred, revenge and more in between. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On bullying...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a child, I was also a victim of teasing and bullying. I think most of us might have experienced it at one point in our lives. It can happen inside the house, the neighborhood, the school, the office, anywhere. But I believe all of us has the power to stop it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bullies would not be bullies if we would not be afraid to stand tall in front of them. I am not saying we must fight them physically, yes that can be done, but what's more effective is if we do not allow them to get inside our heads. They were satisfied if the person they are bullying cried, run away, ask for help or hide from them. Do not let that happen. Bullying happens if we let it happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know you might think it is easier said than done. We can get help but <b>only you </b>can stop it. It is up to you. How you take things. If bullies teases you, shouts at you, disrespects you, DO NOT MIND THEM. Let them see that what they are doing does not affect you. Improve yourself. Do not hide and blame yourself... or think that you do not fit in or that people do not want to be friends with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey! What others think of you is <b>NOT </b>important. What's important is that you <b>GO ON</b> with your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
"They could not stop me from being 'me', from reaching my dreams!"</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Think that way. I know it's hard at first but as you go on telling this to your self you will become stronger. Reputation is not important, what matters is that you have a loving family and brighter future ahead of you. If people knew you as someone being bullied or a pushover try to be more choosy with the friends you make. Do not just trust every one. If you smell something fishy do not go. Do not keep things to yourself, most of the time it is better if you have friends to share your ideas and emotions too. Life is hard, do not make it harder for yourself. Step up and learn to fight!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What's up blogging world?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a while since I did a <a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-lately-may-2015.html" target="_blank">Life lately</a> post, so I thought this is a good time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see, my blog has been inactive for months since 2015. That's the time I got my 2nd job as an HR Assistant in a Distribution Company. I tried to do blogging, work and school at the same time but I really had a hard time. So, I have to gave up blogging and doing arts and crafts to focus on my job. After several months, I also had to gave up my graduate studies. I was promoted as the head of our department and it requires more of my time and dedication. I was out of graduate school for 3 semesters already but I loved my job so I chose to prioritize my work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, as I invested more time at work I did not realized that I was sacrificing my health. I got sick. My boss allowed me to rest for 3 months to heal. Then, I decided to go back to work. But to my disappointment laboratory results states that 3 months rest is not enough. That I still need more time at home, away from too much stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did not know what to do at that point since I just started working again. I know the Company needs me and that I am holding a crucial position that I cannot leave just that. I want to do my job and accomplish all the demands of my boss but my body is struggling. I have been experiencing several side effects of the meds I am taking, so I was really doubting if going back to work is the right thing to do. Until I was on the point of crisis. I overthink. I was desperate to look for applicants to the point that I force myself to do overtimes. I kept most of my problems with me. I cannot share it to my parents because they'll worry more than me. I cannot also share it to my workmates because they would think that I am a weak leader. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was the point when I felt that what I did is never enough to accomplish what was expected of me. The point when I was thinking I have done very little for the Company for the last 3 years. The point when I felt so weak and guilty that I have not done my part. I hated feeling that way. I do not want to disappoint anyone. But my condition is stopping me to give out my best. And so, even if it is not my intention, even if it is against my will, I have made my decision. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I had this condition I will not be strong enough to fight and give my best to achieve what was appointed to me. I'd better leave my post to give the Company the chance to look for a better person for the role. I do not want to be paid for being sick or to be paid for accomplishing so little. I want to be paid because I have done my part. So I left the Company.<br />

<b>Short Message for my boss</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Boss,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I do not know if you will ever stumble upon my blog but I want to make use of this space I have on the web. Boss, I want to say sorry for not being able to submit my resignation letter to you in person. Honestly, I was ashamed of what I did. I know you trusted me but I have disappointed you by leaving my responsibilities just that. It is not my working attitude but as much as I am ashamed of what I did, I am also afraid of what will happen to me in the future if I continue working and set aside my health condition. I hope you understand my condition. I am sorry for not standing by your side. I am sorry if I was not able to put up with your standards. I apologize. Boss, I also want to thank you for letting me experience all the things that happened to me at work. All the overtimes, all the problems and all the issues - all of them are treasures for me. I have been stronger because of those hardships. I have encountered a lot of first times too and I thank you for trusting me like your child. I also treasure all your stories and advises. They will be my guide in the future. Because of your stories, I yearn for more. If I am not sick at this time, I know I will still be in the Company. I do not want to leave. I want to be part of the company's success. I am so grateful that I have the chance to meet you. Thank you. I wish more success for the whole group!</i></div>

I spent my time browsing the internet doing research about putting up an online business, watching vlogs of Jenn Im and video editing tips of Lost Leblanc on Youtube and reading eboooks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to re-activate my blog again which I also planned last December if work was not in the way. So, I was looking for inspirations on the web. </div>

Hey guys!<br />
<br />
As promised, here are the random pictures I took while traveling to Ajuy, Iloilo through RoRo. <br />
<br />
As you have seen on my previous video post, it took us more or less than twenty seven hours to get there following this route after crossing Mindoro to Panay Island. However, we got lost somewhere in Dumarao, Capiz and had followed the old route that we had instead. So, we had consumed too much time rather than the 4 hour and 44 mins route that Google had suggested. If we were not lost, we might have reached Iloilo in 22-24 hours. <br />

But luckily the water travel was good. The barges/ships that we rode were clean, organized and not too crowded. We enjoyed the waves, the sound of the ocean breeze and most especially the view. Thanks to Starlight!<br />
<br />
This is what I loved about traveling through RoRo, you will have lots of sights to see and experience. You'll also have ample time to bond with your family. Isn't that great?<br />

We had a great time at Pili, Ajuy, Iloilo, the place where my dad grew up. We ate a lot of fresh sea foods like scallops,<em> bay-ad</em> and <em>duwal. </em>It was actually my first time to see and eat <em>duwal</em> and it tastes like <em>tahong</em> and<em> pusit. </em>We also celebrated the barrio fiesta and my youngest sister's thanksgiving for passing the board exam. My dad bought a<em> kambing</em> as the main course. And all the menu that my uncles prepared are good. My dad had a great time bonding with his <em>long-time-no-see</em> relatives. </div>

The place is simple, clean and refreshing. Cottage rentals are also cheap for day tour but I am not sure if they allow night/over night tour too. </div>

Me, while feeling so blessed to have this time with my family and relatives. After 3 years, this was the only time I really got to enjoy the summer. Last year we also went to Iloilo for 2 weeks but I was not able to enjoy because my mind is still at work even though I was far away. </div>

Then, we managed to witness the harvest process at my granddad's farm or <em>uma</em>. It is so cool. Now, I know <em>kung gaano kahirap ang buhay ng mga magsasaka. Ibinuhos nila ang panahon at pagod nila para maka-ani ngunit sila pa ang may pinaka kakaunting kinikita sa bentahan ng bigas sa merkado.</em> I salute my <em>lolo</em> for still pursuing farming and rice planting. Because of his hard work, he was able to provide for his big family and let all his children finish college and we never have to worry about rice. </div>

We also dined at Windy Willows, a small café on top of a hill located in Ajuy. The way up to the hill is really tiring (vehicles are not allowed to go up because of the very steep pathway) but you will be surprised with the breath-taking view when you reach the top. You'll get to see the small islands near Ajuy and the beautiful ocean. </div>

If they will allow me to stay there, I'll be happy not to leave the place. We are surrounded by trees and birds humming. The place is so quiet, it soothes my brain. The food is good too. If you want a different ambiance before eating lunch or to relax and eat before the sun set, Windy Willows is the place to be. </div>

I hope you have enjoyed looking through my random photos. It was taken via a Firefly Intense Power phone. I will be cherishing this memories. And I thank God for protecting and keeping us safe while we crossed the provinces of Batangas, Mindoro, Aklan, Capiz and Iloilo back and forth. </div>

<strong>RoRo Experience</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We have travelled the RoRo way several times because we find it more convenient when you have too many luggage to bring and if you want to bring a vehicle. RoRo has 2 options. First, if like to bring your own vehicle like us, you have to pay for the vehicles' fee and the passengers' fare, don't worry your driver is free. You will also need to pay for terminal and arastre fees at the ports. The second option is to ride the RoRo buses. You will just pay the passenger fare and the transport company will do the rest. The bus trip takes around 23 hrs while the Private vehicle trip depends on the driving speed of your driver, in which on our case took us 27 hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Advantages of traveling the RoRo way:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Cheaper than plane fare</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- You can bring as many things as you wish as long as it fits your car</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- You'll get to cross provinces via land and water transport</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- You'll experience nature more as you zigzag your way to the next mountain you have to traverse</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- More bonding time for the family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Things to consider if you want to travel through RoRo:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Know the directions and review the map</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Make sure to prepare your vehicle for the looooonnnnggg ride</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Your driver is always the top priority, because your safety is up to him</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- Bring packed food while traveling</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And that is how we spent our summer at the barrio. I still have some pictures to post for my next blog. Have you seen Ajuy, Iloilo too? Kindly share your story with me! Leave some comments below. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey everyone! How's your summer?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We just got back from a short vacation in Iloilo!!! Yes! An annual trip to the city of love, the hometown of my dad where the most "malalambing" Filipinos can be found.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had sneaked out a few trips within the town and I had here some pictures I took while we are traveling via RoRo (Roll on Roll off) way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This clip is about the road trip to Iloilo. Yeah! It's more about the trip and this is the first video clip I edited using a free video editing software, VSDC. I warn you I am no expert in editing but I tried my best so please give me your five minutes and watch it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, we decided to have our 6th trip to Iloilo via the RoRo (Roll-on, roll off) way of traveling with the big help of our L300 and my uncle's car. We are 14 pax during the twenty seven (27) hour trip. Oo, matagal ang byahe but it's worth the hassle because you get to appreciate more the cities you passed by, mother nature and the bonding that we had while travelling. Plus the unexpected "pagka ligaw" made our trip more fun and exciting. Traveling through RoRo with your own car is a combination of land and water travel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We traveled by land from our house to Batangas Port around 5 am and it took us about 3 hours to reach the port. And then when we got to the port (around 8:30am), surprisingly there is already a long queue of cars. It took us until 11:30am to finally reach the cashier and pay for the arastre, terminal fee, passenger's ticket and the vehicle fee. We finally boarded a Starlight barge at 12:15 in the afternoon. The waiting time ruined our trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Batangas Port has never been accommodating. Guards at the port always shouts and never give clear instructions to drivers and passengers. This has been our dilemma every time we travel to Iloilo because there's no improvement with their system ever since. I'm sorry but I think the guards on-duty really lack customer service skills. I know their priority is safety and security but they must at least respect passengers that are at lost while inside the port and give polite and clear instructions as to where they have to queue their cars or where to park or where to pay tickets. If they do not want to be asked by passengers because they are busy (busy texting, busy chatting with one another or busy looking for shady areas to avoid the sun) at the post, the management should have at least put signages or public instructions or hire ushers to assist their customers. Another problem that day is that they only have one collecting agent to collect payments that is why the line took us about 4 hours which is really disappointing. Because if you are traveling through Roro you have to be concerned with your travel time, to make sure that you can ride the next ship/barge at the next port immediately or else you would wait for the next trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope Batangas Port management would be concerned with the customer service of their employees in the future. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok so much for that! So, we had our first water travel. From Batangas Port to Calapan Port it took us about 2-3 hours. Calapan is part of Mindoro already and most of the time the waves on this part of your travel are not to bumpy so this is the perfect timing to take your selfies while sailing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 2 hours we successfully crossed the sea to the province of Mindoro. We then traveled via land again for 4-5 hours to reach the other end of Mindoro, the Port of Roxas City. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Port of Roxas City is another challenge because of the long waiting hours. I am not sure but ships that will cross to Aklan arrives every 3-4 hours I think. You are lucky if you arrived when the ship is still loading passengers. But most of the time passengers really have to wait for 3-4 hrs before they can sail to the next island. We arrived there around 7 pm and ate our packed dinner. If you do not packed your dinner don't worry because Roxas Port has a lot of food stalls. There is also Andok's which offers dine-in and there are small hotels you can stay if you want to sleep while waiting. The next ship will arrive at 12:00 midnight but the vehicle reservation is already full so we have to wait for the next one at 2 am. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rain started pouring around 11:45pm. So we got worried that waves will be high but luckily it lightens around 12 midnight. The 12 midnight ship arrived. God is gracious that there are still room for 5 more vehicles, so our cars were called to board.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Roxas it is about 5-6 hours sailing to Panay Island. We again boarded a Starlight ship at around 12:30am and we left Roxas Port around 1:30 am. There's not much to mention during the trip because we are all so sleepy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We woke up at around 5am and Panay Island is within reach. We arrived at Caticlan Port at around 6:30am. We now crossed the province of Aklan. We ate Aklan Mami and pansit for breakfast and resume our trip. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Aklan, we have to cross the province of Capiz before we reach Iloilo. This is the last road trip so be prepared because this is a 5-6 hours drive. But you can ask the help of your GPS apps or Google Maps to find the shortcut. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a tip: if you plan to follow your GPS, stick to it. Do not ask locals. Because GPS road labeling and local terms are not the same. You might be even more confused if you ask locals for directions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another tip: Be very careful when asking or choosing persons to ask. Remember you will be crossing provincial areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After several turns and a few turn arounds, we finally reach Iloilo!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took us about 27 hours in total from Batangas Port to the municipality of Ajuy, Iloilo. Of course, it still depends on your driving speed and the schedule of the ships at the Port. Estimated average travel time is from 22-25 hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you got an idea on how to travel the RoRo way and you get to see a glimpse of how our travel went. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I might upload another video about how our vacation went but I need to study more VSDC. If you have edited videos before please share the app or the program you are using. Hopefully it's free or if you paid for it please let me know how much it is. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for watching!</div>

Whoa! Christmas is just a few nights away.<br />
<br />
Finally, I have squeezed in a few minutes to put up our little tree and give it a new look. This is super easy and I thought I share it with you since some of us do not have the time and reluctant to spend too much on decorations.<br />
<br />
As for me, since we have a few art materials at home I did not spent a peso to decorate our Christmas tree. Just a few tweak here and there and it's good to go.<br />
<br />
So, let's begin! Since I don't want to spend money, I checked out our old Christmas decors and found several Christmas balls. However, they look so old and dull.. so, I thought of redecorating them.<br />
<br />
Revamp your Christmas Tree with this DIY Christmas ball look for 2017!<br />
<br />
You will be needing a set of Christmas balls the medium size will do (not too big) enough to decor your tree, ribbons, white crepe paper, Sharpie and pair of scissors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD5h9NBVMl8llqOsKB0Td6oe6v1OkmPSQkOYbk5GVQmekpxFp_eRhyphenhyphena-y-E3Tg-kikTD3oPzMgqmlJDa8NkdOCnIa8TjPqHmjey9icI1Wwq2V0HvSK85lQcObLtO7xOzyVAjhjZUhPZ25-/s1600/misselayneousthings+balls3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1187" data-original-width="1600" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD5h9NBVMl8llqOsKB0Td6oe6v1OkmPSQkOYbk5GVQmekpxFp_eRhyphenhyphena-y-E3Tg-kikTD3oPzMgqmlJDa8NkdOCnIa8TjPqHmjey9icI1Wwq2V0HvSK85lQcObLtO7xOzyVAjhjZUhPZ25-/s640/misselayneousthings+balls3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Fold your crepe paper in half and cut it out.<br />
<br />
Lay down your Christmas ball and try to measure the size of paper enough to cover your balls. As we will be wrapping it up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFMhFAx_oHQO5_N1QStwYb36NVBFlR7iOTl8rA9I0Om4Xyua5KQ7Z1dQZA4EgVADH-cWJ6pSjLFVDlaOVHTyhHEXY7Tm0NV_KFTj5WNHsAZzWeW3U5t5QA8UjUa2QShSh4WQw3nwqy1vpA/s1600/IMG_20171120_103915.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="1600" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFMhFAx_oHQO5_N1QStwYb36NVBFlR7iOTl8rA9I0Om4Xyua5KQ7Z1dQZA4EgVADH-cWJ6pSjLFVDlaOVHTyhHEXY7Tm0NV_KFTj5WNHsAZzWeW3U5t5QA8UjUa2QShSh4WQw3nwqy1vpA/s640/IMG_20171120_103915.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Me, I just cut squares enough for the size of the balls I am using. Do not be too strict with measurements, just play around. It doesn't have to be perfect.<br />
<br />
When you have cut enough paper for all the balls, start wrapping them up. Place the ball on the center of the paper and wrap it upwards which would look like an onion.<br />
<br />
Then, tie the upper part with the color of the ribbon you want. Decorative ribbons are better.<br />
<br />
Then, use the Sharpie to draw little designs on your Christmas balls. I just draw dots. You can doodle stars, hearts, snowflakes, bells, reindeer.. whatever you want!<br />
<br />
And you have a new look for your Christmas balls.<br />

Hi readers!<br />
<br />
Me and my cousins are so excited for this Sunday's event because our cousin Jo will be celebrating her 18th birthday. I was tasked to help with the invitations so we thought why don't we do it on our own to save money.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So, what I did... I browsed YouTube for invitation tutorials and google for invitation templates.<br />
<br />
We want a floral themed party in shades of royal blue and peach. Luckily, I found free templates by Paper trail design blog.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<a href="http://www.papertraildesign.com/floral-invitation-template-free-printable/" target="_blank">Source</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paper Trail Design is so generous. They had a lot of free template to choose from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After finding the cutest floral template that fits our theme I once again used Photoscape for editing. Photoscape has been my editing buddy for years now. It's free and very user-friendly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Photoscape has basic fonts and icons you can play with. They also have filters and basic editing tools you can choose from. I tell you it's very easy to use. If you want to download it just google Photoscape free download and you're good to go. I also downloaded calligraphy fonts that can used in Photoscape as well.<br />
<br />
I also did a short tutorial on how to use it's cloning tool <a href="http://misselayneousthings.blogspot.com/2013/07/change-photo-background-using.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
With the help of my new printing partner HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3635 and a few tweaks here and there I now have my very own 18th Birthday Invitation card.<br />

Christmas is coming!<br />
<br />
I'm sure marami nang nag-iisip kung ano ang maganda gift this Christmas. Likas pa naman sa ating mga Pinoy ang bigayan ng mga aguinaldo tuwing Pasko. And to make it a bit different why don't you try giving out gifts na ikaw mismo ang gumawa?<br />
<br />
Let's try making this ever famous NO-BAKE OREO CHEESECAKE.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
<br />
24 pieces Oreo biscuits<br />
1 can condensed milk<br />
1 bar cream cheese in room temperature<br />
1/8 cup melted butter<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
<br />
First step, durugin ng pinung-pino ang 18pcs na Oreo biscuits. Pwedeng magdagdag depende sa dami nang gusto ninyong gawin.<br />
<br />
Second, i-mix ng mabuti ang melted butter sa dinurog na Oreo biscuits.<br />
<br />
Layer the Oreo bits and butter into a pan that will serve as our crust. Make sure na siksikin itong mabuti. Pwedeng gamitin ang likod ng kutsara para ma-flat out ang crust.<br />
<br />
Then set this aside in the fridge for a while.<br />
<br />
Next, mix in the condensed milk and cream cheese. Fold them together. When there are no bubbles visible spread it out on the crust mixture.<br />
<br />
Crush down the remaining Oreo biscuits for the toppings. This will depend on you; or you may remove the filling and layer it on top of our cheese cake mixture.<br />
<br />
Freeze the cake for 4-5 hours before serving. (The longer the better)<br />
