The tricycle is the most common vehicular transport here in the Philippines.  It is the easiest way to make a living because of its low-cost maintenance. Riding on a tricycle is fun but dangerous. You can feel the cool wind and warmth of the sun. You can also get wet if the tricycle has no protection from the rain. And sometimes, you can get lost, taken to a dark place and … you know what I mean.

The tricycle drivers are unpredictable, too. Some are friendly and kind while some are grumpy and demanding. As a passenger, I have to be calm as possible and be considerate to avoid arguments. I can be generous to those who offered me rides and never complain. It is hard to judge those drivers since they have their own lives that we don’t know about.

street beggars

Beggars are exponentially increasing that is why the problem of poverty remains unsolved. Beggars are already a part of the community and nobody seems to care for them. Why do beggars exist? Well, a part of them can be blamed as the only way of survival that they know is, of course, to beg. But, what if the privileged ones will help them to have a better life? My guess is that these beggars will forever be beggars because they do not know how to say thank you if someone gives them a penny or some food.

Personally, I do not like beggars especially those street children who would not stop bugging me until I give something to them. They tug my clothes and hold me. They stick their faces in the car window, leaving a sticky stuff. I also do not like beggars that are too old with their middle-aged children tagging along with them. Their children are still strong enough to find a decent job.

What I hate the most are those people who make begging a career. Ms. Beggy, not her real name, presented me with a prescription info with a fully-emotive tagline of  “Inugbakal ko lang bulong… gamasakit akon bata…” (my child is ill and I needed to buy these…). I could always see Ms. Beggy at terminals and even at the church. There was a time that I told her that she was doing it over again, for a long time and she hurriedly left (almost stumbled). I only care for those people who are not mentally normal but live in the streets and beg.

friday the 13th

Today, the unlucky number 13 strikes again but I am going to make it my lucky day. As it strikes, I am going back to my blogging life again, starting like a noob since I ceased to update my blogs for over a year. Just consider it as a period of hibernation. I was focusing with school work… not really, with a lot of stuff.

I remember my first phase of blogging was the goal of having a laptop. Luckily, that goal was achieved but I was busy exploring other stuff instead of blogging more than I should be. I earned enough before the hibernation but I knew it will never be enough to support me in the future.

I admit, I had a lot of mistakes in some of my posts but I am thankful that my readers or the persons involved did not care much about it. Maybe my hibernation was a karma.

make money online

It has been one of my dreams to have a laptop. Unlike other people, having a laptop is not why it makes me look cool. I am not a poser. I make money online and that is why having a laptop is very essential for me. Before, I spend most of my time at internet cafes. I have a desktop computer at home but there is no internet connection. I was planning to save my earnings to buy a laptop computer. But thanks to God that He made a way for me to have one.

Well, I did not work as hard as before. I have decided to work one step at a time to make things right. Making money online was a success for me even I did not have my own computer. I had a small capital with a big return of investment. It did not last that long though because my blogs are of free hosting.

The captivating Capiz Seo contest has been very controversial. Some people just do not know how to deal some issues invloved but for me, it is no big deal fi I win or not.

Why? I am also hosting my own contest on my Pweng Bee blog and there are still a lot of contests to keep my hands busy other than captivating Capiz.
