Some ideas for my stories, on the platform, Webnovel and Wattpad.

I have some ideas for the stories I'm planning to write, on the platfrom Webnovel and Wattpad. Some of them are already conceieved before the COVID19 pandemic started, while some of the ideas are already conceived during the month of November and the first week of December.

And by during the month of November and the first week of December, those ideas was conceived this year.

My problem is that will be the opening scenes, of those stories I am going to write, on Wattpad and Webnovel. Another problem of mine is that, if someone uses the MacBook Pro, I have to use my cellphone/smartphone. It its hard for me to use my smartphone/cellphone on writing stories.

The two (2) platforms has also their own respective YouTube channels. Click here for Webnovel. And click here for Wattpad.

The workers in Pasig City.

Sana all. Ako rin.

But wait, hindi na pala ako masaya sa pinapasukan kong kumpanya sa Ortigas. Kahit na OJT ang status ko since 2011.

With 13 month pay since 2014.

Kahit na gawing i-regularize nila ako, hindi na ako interesadao na maging regular employee ng kumpanyang pinapasukan ko.

I first learned about this news, is from the Twitter account of CNN Philippines, this morning.

I, in some way, have been fascinated about the aquatic life in the ocean floor, the aquatic animals on the ocean floor, the pressure, etc. I, in some way fascinated about Marina Trench, and Challenger Deep.

JacksGap: One Week in the Philippines

I first learned about the video, is about a month or two months ago. But the video itself is published on the JacksGap channel 3 months ago.

I wonder the places in the Philippines they visited.

If your asking on how I learned about Jack's Gap (JacksGap), is that I asked one forum member (called PexEr/Pexer) of Pinoy Exchange who are the guys as her avatar. I just don't remember her reply.

Heres the video:

I envy them. Why? Because they visited the places I haven't visited yet.

Sa Enchanted Kingdom.

Ang first time ko sa Enchanted Kingdom ay noong summer vacation ng 1997. At ang second time ko ay panahon ng field trip ko noon 1997 din, noong ako pa ay nasa 1st year high school student pa ako.

18 years na pala any nakalipas. Noong first time ko sa Enchanted Kingdom ay, kasama ko yung older brother ko, nanay ko tita ko, at isang matandang lalaki na kilala ng nanay at tita ko.

I do understand that there are changes at Enchanted Kingdom. I'm planning to go there, at around April 2015, or at May 2015.

Just in case you didn't know, Enchanted Kingdom is located at Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Help and ride

Last Saturday morning, I decided to take a bus going from the place ako sumasakay ng bus, papuntang Ortigas. There's no heavy traffic that morning. I arrived there in the intersection of Edsa and Ortigas Avenue, is around 7:15 AM and 7:30 AM. My work is in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

I try to take photo this Saturday. Hopefully, my phone will not get snatched.

And also, last Saturday afternoon, I appreciate the help of Miss Flower*, kaya lang ayaw na ayaw ko yung tinutulungan nila ako, and the same time, papagalitan ako.

That Charles Dickens statue and museum.

The first book that I'm still currently reading, to be written by Charles Dickens, is the "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". The book is bought by my oldest sibling from the U.K. when him and my mom went to the U.K. as tourists.

On the Facebook fan page dedicated to Charles Dickens, there is a statue dedicated to him. And it is loacted in Portsmouth, England.

And also, the Charles Dickens Museum in "48 Doughty Street in Holborn, London Borough of Camden, England". According to the Wikipedia article, this is the "only surviving London house" of Charles Dickens.

If I am given the chance to go to the U.K., I'll not hesitate to visit the statue and the museum.

Charles Dickens and some of his works are featured in the movie Hereafter (2009 film).

Nelson Mandela (July 18 1918 – December 5 2013)

I don't know have enough knowledge on the life of Nelson Mandela, but he's one of the political figures that I admire.

All I know is that tried to unite his people. He tried uniting uniting his people thru football in the movie, Invictus, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.

I haven't yet checked , the cause of his death. He is 95.

I mentioned earlier that I admire him as a political figure. I admire him in a sense that, during his time as president of South Africa, he did his best to unite his fellow country men.

Unfortunately, the Greenwich branch (in Ortigas, Pasig) near my office is now closed, since late last year. I don't know why they closed.

I bought this meal last December 23, 2011, Friday.
