“Collect the pieces to be normal again”

Today, after a long rest to writing, I have made my first blog post for 2016. Not quite, good for a person who promise to keep on writing until I have no idea what to write anymore. I have never thought that dormancy will be long to occur. I only expected it to be a month or so. Now, realization hit me. If your passion is writing, even how long you cease writing, there will be time in your life that you will come back. Why? Because writing is part of your system, if you take out part of your system, you won’t be whole again. Collect the pieces to be normal again.

It has been a rocky 2016. Both on personal and my entrepreneurial endeavours and my 2015 goals and plans aren’t easy to achieve. Plus so many factors, I have lost control. So many areas in my life are affected which includes writing. I can’t formulate any ideas on my head, writer’s block out as some writers call it. Then again, when its run in the system, your ideas will suddenly flow just like what happened today. This fuels my comeback post. This stimulates my collect the pieces and go back on tract. This made my realization a reality.

Today, I declare. I am a writer. My system yearns to write, to have a purpose on writing and I will continue writing. No amount of back lash will hinder me to persist on my first love. I’m going back to my keyboard, dictionary and formulate ideas. Do the cycle of think, write, edit and polish. I have faced the trials, made procrastination and worst of all, stop. I have to add a new paragraph which is new beginning.

This is my realization and the best one for that matter. You fail only if you stop writing.

Do you have a credit card? Have you become a victim of credit card duplication? If your answer is yes, please do comment! I received a disturbing text message from my bank last June 23. It says for my card security, I should call them immediately. I did not bother at first because I was thinking maybe they just want to follow up my payment due (I know my thought was hilarious, hahaha). Then today, they texted me again with the same content, I got bothered. 

I called my bank’s customer service and informed them about the text I received and they forwarded me with their security group. They asked me with a lot of questions for verification and then asked me if I had a transaction last June 22 in the USA worth 22, 000! How was that? I immediately answered “No”. How come I do that when I know that my balance is below that amount? It sends me shiver. The woman on the line informed me that my card has been duplicated and they had it blocked already. I got thankful. She told me the bank will deliver a new card after 7 days. 

I never had a history of credit card duplication. I have read different instances about credit card fraud and I didn’t expect I would become a victim. Thankfully, my bank was able to detect. I was always sure that the sites I visited and purchased are secure. But because of what happened to me, I am not sure. I keep on thinking of sites that I used my credit card. I am sure I only use it for two sites and I am now contemplating whether to buy on credit card on those sites. 

Every time I think about what happened, I had ifs. If I had enough credit limit to allow purchase amounting to 22,000, what will happen to me? How will I be able to prove that it is not me who made the purchase? Yeah, I know it’s just ifs and thankfully, no harm done to my account. I want to know if I have a reader that became a credit card fraud and how you deal with it. Please hit comment! I’ll gladly appreciate it!         

Hope you learn something with this story too! Please do share!

Kwentong Tsuper: An Amazing Story of a Pedicab Driver that Left Drug Addiction

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Every after work or after my morning jog, it is a routine for me to go to the Market. I always ride a pedicab and there is always something new I learn. Pedicab Drivers always have something to say whether it is about the current state of the politics or the rising prices of different commodities. They always like to share stories and those stories I listened from them makes the ride worth it. Last week, I had an interesting chat with a pedicab driver and thought of sharing this to you. I hope that his story will be able to help that family man that got addicted to drugs. He was able to reinvent himself after his fall.

We were two passengers when the Pedicab driver starts to talk. He said a place in the city that drug selling and addiction is very rampant. He then shared his story on how he was able to try it. It was out of curiosity and peer pressure. He is a father of two kids. He said he is a good provider and a faithful husband before he got addicted to drugs. He has a Pedicab and he has a driver renting it and would pay him for the boundary. One day, his driver did not remit the boundary and its family were looking for him. The driver’s family is worried and he looked for him. He found the driver in the drug den. He told him about his family’s concern but it was so high and it did not even listen. It was his first close encounter with drugs. It repeated again and out of his curiosity, he tried it. When he tried, he said there is nothing amazing on it. It’s just normal. He became the driver of his own pedicab and he noticed that he did not get tired. He felt that he is energy is being renewed. He can drive even for the whole day. That made him tick. He started to keep on using it. He’s mind became futuristic. His family noticed the change. They talked with his wife but his already on the pit and he didn’t know how to come out of it.

Another passenger gets on the ride. He continued his story. His wife become nagger and he did not choose to go home. He does not want to face the reality. He enjoyed the fantasy he lives in the moment. Then the wake-up call happened. They were struggling. His wife’s salary isn’t enough anymore, his kids are afraid of him, his pedicab got sold and he cannot the fix problem anymore. He has to change, he said. But the hardest part is the process of changing. He keeps on coming back to it. His body is searching for it and his neighbours are encouraging him to come back. He would e happy if he stops for a week but after that, he goes back. It is the story all the time. He looks for help; he changed his religion but it did not help him. He is so guilty that he sees his wife crying every night. He has his “if only” and “what if’s” . He made a decision; he applied for a job that can keep him busy and away from the place. He said, it was the best move he made. He was assigned to a secluded place. He got himself going. There are times that his body is looking for it but he managed to destruct himself. The change became gradual and he succeeded. He said, it is the darkest past he was able to successfully fight.

I reach my destination and I thank him for his wonderful story. It was not an easy feat but he made it. He made me believe in the saying “if there’s a will, there’s a way”. It is not an easy way out specially the process of changing but if you are motivated enough and you believe that it’s for the best you can always carry on. I don’t know the plate number of the pedicab and I am not sure if I can still recognize him but one thing is sure. I will always remember how his story inspired me. Change is for the brave people that accept they were wrong and they were responsible to make it correct.

Hope you got inspired with his story too! Please do share!

Thoughtful Sunday: The “Single Thing”

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

How was your day so far? Happy Sunday everyone! Today I want to share my thoughts on how society perceived women in their mid twenties in the issue of getting married. I am not keen on talking about me being single and all my rants about it but I finally persuade to speak for myself in the context of why I am single even when I’m already 24. The persuasion happened when I went to my hometown to visit my friend who has two kids. I was bombarded with a lot of questions whether I am still single, when I am planning to get hitch and so on and so forth. I got my tongue twisted in answering all their questions. 

I read that an average Filipina gets married in their mid twenties. Check, I am almost there. If am asked whether I am threatened? The answer would be NO. Honestly, I still question why many people are having a fuss when women in their mid twenties aren’t in a relationship or not married yet. It is as if women won’t be able to find a partner after they reach the big 3-0. The fact is it is not the case; even one gets married at the age of 35, as long as they stay married for a long time that what really matters most. Getting married is not a race that who gets hitch first will win. A lot of women getting married at a young age tend to break up because they did not totally enjoy being single. This is my point, why am I still single? Primary, it is a choice. This is not sweet lemoning. It is a fact. I was not able to fully enjoy being single. More so, I was not yet able to travel outside the country. It is my biggest goal. If I am able to do that, it would be the time I will start cramming to get myself a prince charming.       

Single ladies in their mid twenties should not be stuck in the idea of getting hitch. The people who pressure you are not the once who will suffer when the relationship does not work. I believe that it is the perfect time to explore the world one place at a time. See places and discover inner self. It is vital in order to meet your special someone.
