Christmas 2021 at the shopping malls.

I can’t remember when I started taking pictures of Christmas decorations in shopping malls here in the Philippines, since “I had a job” in Ortigas.

I haven’t been able to take pictures of Christmas decorations in shopping malls here in the Philippines done in the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, except for SM Sucat in Parañaque City.

I don't know if I can do it, for some reason, I don't have an update on commuting here in Metro Manila. Even though I want to Grab, I don't have the money to pay.

The food, my family, and me.

I'm hungry at this time. And in recent years, I haven’t been able to eat well, it’s because of my family, especially my “sister-in-law” and my "father".

I don’t know from my dad if he can distinguish big from small and vice versa. I also don’t know if he knows how to distinguish much from little and vice versa.

There was a time they “stingy” to me.

Those are just a few of the reasons why I eat out, spill food, and eat secretly.

Washing some dinnerware on the evening of November 6, 2021, Saturday.

Last week, October 31, 2021, Saturday, my mother & my older store visit on the franchised store in the WalterMart branch in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. They came home late, it's between, 5 PM and 7 PM. They took home food from Tokyo Tokyo. Tokyo Tokyo is a Japanese-inspired fast food chain here in the Philippines. I just thought to myself, "Hey, thank you. I'm not going to wash dinnerware." After I took a bath, my “sister-in-law” was the one who washed the dinnerware. Similar tonight. But, dinner was sandwiches from Subway. And I was the one who washed the things used for dinner. I thought to myself, "This mother of mine, there's only so much to wash, I'm the one going to wash the things we had for dinner."

Some Metro Manila cinemas will reopen this November 2020.

Some Metro Manila cinemas will reopen this November 2020. It is been one (1) year and seven (7) months, March 2020, that the Philippine cinemas are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some of the Metro Manila will reopen this November 2020, some recently released Hollywood movies like the 2021 movie "Dune" and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films like "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings".

I'm not the only one who misses watching a film/movie in cinemas/movie houses.

But, of course, by next year, all the COVID-19 cases here in the Philippines continue to drop (or fall).

The novel "The Wish" by Nicholas Sparks.

The last book that I read written by Nicholas Sparks, is the book "The Wish". And I didn't finish the book "Two by Two." And yet, he has his latest novel.

And here is the video:

Main Trailer: The Batman

Warner Bros released a trailer of their new movie "The Batman." I don't have any expectations on the aforementioned trailer. Both YouTube channels of Warner Bros. Pictures (US) and Warner Bros. UK & Ireland released the trailer:

The lost urge to exercise or to workout.

Nawalan na ako ng gana mag-exercise sa kuwarto ko simula noong "nagkasakit" ako nitong Setyembre. Nawalan na ako ng gana mag-workout sa kwarto ko simula noong "nagkasakit" ako nitong Setyembre.

Kung tutuusin, majority ng panahon na "nagkasakit" ako, migraine at ubo. Minor ang sinat.

---------

English translation:

I’ve lost the urge to exercise in my room since I “got sick” this September. I've lost the urge to workout in my bedroom since I "got sick" this September.

After all, the majority of the time I “got sick”, migraine and cough. The heat is minor.

Triller, my alternative to TikTok.

I was checking the article of MeWe on Wikipedia, I learned of the app Triller. The Triller app is similar to TikTok, and some of the features like lip-sync. I'm not sure if users can download a video from the aforementioned app.

On TikTok, users can add multiple accounts. But there is no feature of it on Triller.

I still use TikTok, though.

SM Aura

Since SM Aura opened to the public, I haven't visited the aforementioned shopping mall.

 

I miss hanging out in the malls

Yes, you read it right. I miss hanging out in the malls.

Since the community quarantine implemented here in the Philippines, I have only visited two (2) shopping malls. The Waltermart branch in Sta. Maria, Bulacan, and SM Sucat in Parañaque City.

The website for books, and novel about secret and murder.

I found out the website Goookmart today. But I forgot on how I learned about the aforementioned website for books.

And I found out the book "In My Dreams I Hold a Knife" on this website.

The book was published last August 3, 2021.

Mental health in the Philippines

I don't remember the year the Mental Health Act was signed into law here in the Philippines.

There are organizations, establishments, and institutions, that offer paid services on mental health. While others offer free services. I read some articles there are groups offer free services but with payment.

Last year, one popular coffee shop offer(ed) a webinar on mental health as a frontliner.

Since the community quarantine started last year of March 2020 here in the Philippines, I personally do not know what to do.

And since last year, I have browsing online on private organizations, establishments, and institutions, that offer free mental health, but without payment. Why? I have a job, but, my job is not stable, where I work. An employee texted me that they would call me. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another reason is that I am looking an organization,  establishment, or institution offering free services with no payment, because I can't because I can't afford to pay much.

I have a reason why I don't tell my family, because, I feel that they will use my mental health status against me.

Craving for fried chicken of these food chains.

One of tonight's dinner is fried. While I'm eating a piece of friend chicken, all of a sudden I was craving the fried chicken of Jollibee, McDonald's, KFC, at Kenny Rogers Philippines.

Even the McDonald's chicken fillet.

I admit that I haven't tried the fried chicken of Wendy's and Burger King.

Hoia Forest in Romania

I first learned about Hoia Forest in Romania, from a video of the YouTube channel Nuke's Top 5, with the title SCARY Ghost Videos To CAUSE Bug Eyes O_O SCARY Ghost Videos To CAUSE Bug Eyes O_O

Many articles feature the aforementioned forest in Romania. I will share some articles.

The Sandman | First Look | Netflix

I'm not familiar with the comic book, I wonder on how the adaptation will turn out.

These features, links, and websites regarding Spotify.

I just found out, or learned these features and links regarding Spotify, only today.

And also, too bad that I learned or found out today, about the Only You campaign was already ended last 30th of June 2021, so the (A/a)strological Audio Birth Chart feature is no longer available, according to the Twitter account of Spotify Cares.

Here here they are:

Teary eyed with these trailers.

I have to admit, that I haven't (have not) seen the Broadway musical, nor heard the 'Broadway musical's soundtrack.

Both the official trailer, and the new trailer below, left me teary-eyed.

I already have a blog post about the official trailer. And here is the final trailer.

Official trailer: West Side Story

I haven't seen the 1961 film. I don't know where I going to watch the mentioned film.

Anyway, here is the official trailer from 20th Century Fox.

KFC's Double Down

Since its launch here in the Philippines, I haven't tried KFC's Double Down. I don't know.

Here are some articles.

KFC Double Down back on menu

KFC’s Double Down is back: Still no buns, still all meat

KFC's Famous Double Down Is Back In Town

LOOK: KFC's iconic Double Down is back.

"Cigarrette Duet" music video

This is the song, wherein I usually hear on TIkTok. The song is, usually in my account, used on videos about scary photos.

Something about Polaroid and Fujifilm Instax.

After I watched the horror film, Polaroid, I developed an interest in instant films and cameras.

One (1) of my sibling have Fujifilm mini 7s, and has films. But I'm scared to open the box of the films, and use its films, because my sibling may (or might) get angry at me.

I would like to buy a camera from either Polaroid's camera, or Fujifilm's camera, but I don't havee enough money.

Thoughts about the working life, and the cultural life at Kobo.

I'd already thought of working in a company in other country, because I have some reasons. I don't know how to apply as an low-skilled/unskilled worker.

I don't know the Canadian company Kobo, accept unskilled or low-skilled worker. I couldn’t find about any info about the work life their. But what I like is the cultural life being offered Kobo. Click here for the info.

Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer to the job offerings listed their website.

These two items from McDonald's Philippines.

Before the lockdown started here in the Philippines, one of my favorites from McDonald's Philippines's is their sandwich Sausage McMuffin with Egg, and their hash brown.

I don't remember the last time I ate the aforementioned items from the aforementonined fast food chain. But today, ngayon ulit ako nakakain nun ng nasabing fast food chain.

One year and six months. 1 year and 6 months.

Inkitt

I was looking for alternatives to Wattpad and Webnovel. Until I found Inkitt. Inkitt is available on both Apple App Store, and Google Play.

Recently, I haven't been active reader of Wattpad, Webnovel, and Inkitt.

Stressed today.

Sa totoo lang, nakakastress itong araw na ito.

Bakit? Nagsimula sa pagkuha ko ng isang slice ng cheese flavored pizza. Tapos, magsasalita yung tatay ko sa pag-kuha ko ng pizza.

Tapos, magko-comment yung tatay kosa tiyuhin ko na, kung nagbilin sa "kung ano yung gagawin ko" sa vacant lot.

Tapos, ngayong hapon, naglakad-lakad yung salbaheng sister-in-law ko, alam ko na titingin sa akin, so tumingin din ako.

Pagtingin sa akin, akala mo naman na may nagawa ako ngayong araw na ito na malaki/mabigat.

Pagbalik, hindi na tumingin ulit sa akin.

---------

English translation:

Honestly, it was stressful today.

Why? It started with me getting a slice of cheese flavored pizza. Then, my father will speak when I get pizza.

Then, my father would comment on my uncle, if he told me "what to do" in the vacant lot.

Then, this afternoon, my naughty sister-in-law went for a walk, I knew she would look at me, so I looked too.

Looking at me, you think I've done something big/heavy today.

When she turned around, she didn't look at me again.

This alternative to OnlyFans.

This evening of this day, I was browsing on my mobile phone/cellular phone/cellphone, on alternatives on OnlyFans, until I found the website Fangage. I have an account on the latter, and I am hesitant to use the aforementioned account. And I am having second thoughts on the former.

I am not going to endorse the website and platform OnlyFans. Because I am having second thoughts on the aforementioned platform.

I will give updates soon on the platform and website Fangage.

The Kid LAROI - Stay (featuring Justin Bieber)

This is the song, sometimes, I hear on my TikTok account.

I don't know why, this is song reminds me of the song, "Blinding Lights", by The Weeknd.

2021 Manila International Book Fair

The last time that I attended Manila International Book Fair was last 2019. I remember the day I attended was raining. But last year, 2020, the book fair went online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the book fair will go online this year, from September 30 to October 4.

Here are some articles:
Manila Int'l Book Fair begins Sept. 30

Here is a video from 2019:

McDonald's and Popeyes in the Philippines.

I just found out today that the McDonald's branch in SM City Sucat, Parañaque City, is already closed. It is being replaced by Popeyes.

Popeyes is used to have a branch in SM City Pampanga.

I haven’t tried eating at Popeye’s yet. And Popeyes will replace McDonald's, in SM City Sucat.

PWD ID and 20% discount

I posted a blog about PWD ID in this blog of mine. Kindly check it out.

When my family & I in the SM City Sucat branch of Jollibee in Parañaque City, we took home burger meals. Mine is Bacon Cheesy Burger with Coke and fries. The price of it in regular/small-sized cup of coke and small/regular-sized pack of fries is at least 120 pesos.

So, technically, my parents also experience the 20% percent of my PWD ID. I didn't experience the the aforementioned percent discount of my own.

Here in the Philippines, Filipinos who are senior citizens and PWDs have senior citizens and PWD cards. And PWD means persons with disability.

For more information, please use Google.

Something about Denmark's COVID restrictions.

Yung ganitong klase ng balita, na mapapasabi ka ng "Sana, all."

(That kind of news, that you will going to say "Hopefully, all.")

Denmark to lift all COVID restrictions by Sept 10

Minute Burger, Burger Machine, and Angel's Burger.

I miss eating a burger of Burger Machine. And I don't remember the last time I ate a burger of Burger Machine. I remmeber eating Bulilit Burger of Burger Machine way back around late 1990s, when I was still in high school.

I remember that one of the people we know gave us a plastic bag of hamburgers, but I don't remember the name of the brand, but it is not Angel's Burger. I din't like the burger, but the burger is not from Angel's Burger.

As speaking of Burger Machine and Angel's Burger, I don't remember eating their burgers.

Something about El Pueblo, in Ortigas, Pasig.

I don't remember the last time I was in El Pueblo, in Ortigas, Pasig. Before the COVID-19 pandemic started, there are times that one of my usual routes is the aforementioned location.

El Pueblo is a located in the corner of Julia Vargas, and ADB Avenue. And near Metrobank and The Podium.

Acording to this article from SPOT.PH, the branch of McDonald's is still open. And another article about the fondest memories.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Teaser Trailer

Yes, you read it right. I can't think of any content for my blog.

For the mean time, enjoy the teaser trailer below from Sony Pictures Canada. Also, the video from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Marvel Entertainment also have the teaser trailer.

Japanese food and Japan.

This weekend family & I had Japanese food. Last night, we had ramen and baked salmon.

Tonight, we had miso soup, wagyu soup, tempura. I don’t know the name for the rice.

To be honest, I would love to try and eat japanese foood made and cooked by the Japanese. And Jaoan is one (1) of the countries I want to visit after the pandemic ends.

Something about on Kabul, Afghanistan.

As you may already know, as what happened on Kabul, Afghanistan.

Afghanistan: Kite Runner author Khaled Hosseini fears for women and girls 'more than any other group' under Taliban

Also on Facebook.

Please be informed that Metro Manila, Philippines, and Kabul, Afghanistan, is 3,000+ miles apart. And the former is 3.30 hours ahead of the latter.

American Crime Story Season 3: Impeachment (trailer)

I don't know on how the third season will turn out.

American Horror Story: Double Feature Part 1: Red Tide trailer

I don't know what my expectations will be after watching the trailer for Double Feature.

I miss going to the malls.

Yes, you read it right. I miss going to the mall, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I'd love to, but I can't, due to the fact that I am living with my toxic parents, toxic older brother, toxic sister-in-law, two toxic nephews. Well, except with my niece who is turning 5 (five) months old this month.

Here are some reasons:

1) Another reason is that I don't have money to go to the malls and back home. I also don't have my own car.

2) Even if I want to buy what I want to buy, I don't have the money.

3) Even though I am going to the malls by using public vehicles, I don't know the rules and regulations by the LGUs (local government units).

One positive side of the pandemic is that there aren’t too many people, in the malls, I mean.

About this Christmas 2020.

Christmas 2020 is the very first Christmas celebration that I didn't take any photos, and videos too, of the Christmas displays by the shopping malls (frequently) I visit. Well, you know, because of the pandemic.

And most probably Christmas 2021.

About this perk of buying books at the airport no one knows about.

Today, when I was browsing my Facebook account on my mobile phone/smartphone, I saw this article about this perk of buying books at the airport no one knows about. An article on the website of Reader's Digest For more information about the article, click here. I do admit that I haven't tried brought a book or two from a bookstore in an airport.

First dose of AstraZeneca.

Last July 29, Thursday, I received my first dose of AstraZeneca. I received it in a polytechnic college, near my hometown.

Yes, you read it right. The vaccine used in the vaccination site is AstraZeneca.

Sorry for no new posts.

Hello, everyone. I am sorry for having no new posts. I have three (3) reasons:

1) My oldest sibling borrowed the MacBook Pro my family owned. And it was returned yesterday. I'm just using it. I don't even have my own laptop. This is where my second reason comes in.

2) It is hard for me to use the mobile phone/smartphone apps versions of Blogger and WordPress. I am more comfortable using a desktop computer, or, a laptop computer.

3) I can't think of any content for my blogs.

4) I can't use the laptop computer I'm using, because my family will "judge" me for using it.

5) I have no privacy in using it. If there is privacy, I still don't have privacy. / I have no privacy in using it. If there is privacy, I still have no privacy.

Philippine National ID, and PWD (person with disabilty) ID.

Last Wednesday night of July 30, I asked my father to accompany me to the baranggay hall of Bagbaguin. The next day July 1, Thursday, my father and I went to the aforementioned hall, but the the doctor is not there. Our purpose is that to certify the letter of my stuttering disability.

One of the employees there said that the doctor is not available that day on the baranggay hall, because of his schedule in vaccination program here in Valenzuela City. The same employee said that the aforementioned doctor may be available tomorrow (Friday) or Monday.

Last Friday, July 2, my father called the landline number of the baranggay hall. And told me that the doctor is not available that day.

Last Monday afternoon of July 5, my father & I went back to the baranggay hall to certify my letter of my stuttering disability. The doctor is available, and he certified it.

After that, the two (2) of us went to our house, and after awhile, went to the Sta. Maria, Bulacan branch of WalterMart, with my mother. The purpose of it, is to apply for the Philippine National ID. it is located in the Cinemas/Cyberzone area of the aforementioned mall. If my memory serves, the Philippine National ID will be delivered to our house by three (3) months. So we may receive it by October.

The next day, the afternoon of July 6, may father & I went to the City Hall of Valenzuela City, to get my PWD ID. My father talked to one of the female staff assigned to the PWD section, and fill up some information about my stuttering disability. After awhile, the aforementioned female staff and I asked me some questions about my stuttering disability, if I have hypertension(?), etc. I fill up some information, and write my signature. And I gave one piece of 2x2 picture. She told me to wait. the other female staff, next to the first one to write my signature to the PWD ID, she put the PWD ID in a transparent plastic case, and gave my two booklets. One for medicines, and one for grocery/groceries. The PWD ID is valid for 5 (five) years, renewable. The initial release of the aforementioned ID is free of charge, but it has a fee if the ID is lost or stolen. I don’t if there will be a fee for renewing the ID. And I just don’t know the amount for the renewable fee.

And the next day, Wednesday afternoon of July 7, my mother put some pieces of double-masking tape to the 1x1 picture and 2x2 picture,  to the medicine purchase booklet, and purchase booklet, respectively.

And at least, I have an advantage against to the people who bully me when I speak.

* PWD mean persons with disability.

Sleeping time, with these gadgets and their apps.

The first photo is a screenshot from the app Mi Fit app. The Second app is a screenshot from the Infinix Lite 2.0 app. While the third app is from the Huawei Health App.

I don't understand, and I don't know why the Mi Band 4 that I own record(ed) my time sleeping on 2:32 AM this morning, despite the fact that I went to bed around 11 PM last night.

I don't understand, and I don't know why the Infinix Band that I own record(ed) my sleeping until 6:29 this morning.

Both the Infinix Band and Huawei Band 4 Pro, recorded my time sleeping, 23:29 PM (11:29 PM) for the former, and 23:25 PM (11:25 PM) for the latter, with 4 (four) minutes apart.

Something about surrogacy and in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Ang isang negosyanteng Pilipino ay mayroong mga anak sa pamamagitan ng surrogacy. At ang negosyanteng Pilipino ay mayroong 3 o 4 na set na kambal. Hindi ko alam ang mga panghalip ng negosyanteng Pilipino na ito.

Ang sanggol na lalaki ni Anderson Cooper ay ipinanganak sa pamamagitan ng in vitro fertilization, din. Ang unang anak nina John Legend at Chrissy Teigen ay isinilang din sa tulong ng surrogacy.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang surrogacy ay mahal. Isinaalang-alang ko rin ang surrogacy, ngunit, wala akong sapat na pera.

Surrogacy sa tulong ng in vitro fertilization.

English Translation:

One Filipino businessperson has children thru surrogacy. And this Filipino businessperson has 3 or 4 sets twins. I don't know the pronouns of this Filipino businessperson.

Anderson Cooper's baby boy was born via surrogacy, too. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's first child also born with the help of surrogacy.

I don't know why in vitro fertilization is expense. I also considered IVF, too, but, I don't have enough money.

Something about Google Photos on June 1, 2021.

As some of you might already know, and I could be wrong, that starting June 1, 2021, Tuesday, “that photos uploaded in "High Quality" will no longer get unlimited storage.” Well according to this article.

The Filipino website, YUGATECH, has two (2) articles:

Google Photos free unlimited storage to end on June 1, 2021

What to do when Google Photos unlimited storage ends on June 1, 2021?

There are websites out there, that have similar articles.

When I was sleeping with these two apps and fitness trackers.

The first two (2) app is taken from the Infinix Life 2.0 app. While the next three (3) are from the Huawei Health app.

To be honest, paghiga ko kagabi, ay hindi agad ako nakatulog. Nakatulog naman ako. Tapos, nagising ako. Nakatulog, nagising, in-off ang aircon, pumunta ng banyo para umihi, uminom ng tubig sa gripo, bumalik ng kuwarto, in-on ang air-con, humiga sa kama, nakatulog na lang ako ng around 5 AM, at nagising ako ng quarter to 9 AM.

Ni wala akong napanaginipan.

To be honest, when I went to bed last night, I didn't fall asleep right away. I fell asleep. Then, I woke up. Fell asleep, woke up, turned off the aircon, went to the bathroom to pee, drank tap water, went back to the room, turned on the air-con, went to bed, I just fell asleep around 5 AM, and I woke up of the quarter to 9 AM.

I didn’t even had dreams.

I am reading fiction since I watched the film version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. BuzzFed Books recently posted on Instagram on their account about the books that falls under the sci-fi* genre.

With my zodiac sign being Gemini, the book is The Space Between Worlds. I also admit that I'm not a fan of the genre on books, but I watch sci-fi movies/films.
