Happy 9th Anniversary to this blog!!!  It was February 13th 2013 when I decided to write a blog. Here's the link to my first post that says "Welcome to Blogger, Naya!" I have been writing on platforms such as candymag.com 's TeenTalk, Multiply, Tumblr and an online-writing websites that has wide range of viewers since 2009. I write anonymously. I just write as a passion and a hobby. I am not monetizing in it. Little did I know I can earn money from them.  I left writing when I found out snippets of my written works online, being used on a social media posts without credits and some saying that the idea was theirs.  I can't believe I left when I was  about to start monetizing and it was easier then to apply for Google Ads.   This blog's title post was changed from different URLs and tracking my page was confusing sometimes.  Google Ads now see my site as LOW CONTENT that I need to polish and post more to finally get my application to put advertis

Tips: Don't Waste Your Energy!

"You can do this, self!"  "If they can do it, why can't you?" Just one motivation from someone or anyone that will make my day.  Sometimes people can be so cruel. You can only see them if you bring benefits to them, if not they will see you as a wallflower. I wish I was just like everyone else, but I'm not. I can't keep my brain stop thinking of the possibility, of probable solutions and of the problem. Dear self, you have been in too much pain, grief, sufferings and struggle. You have survived teenage peer pressure, you have seen domestic violence, you have been in battles with your mental health and you have fought all of them. You lost your anchors, your Papa who was your first love, your Mom who was your ally, and your Ate Saimah who was your first bestfriend. They can easily ask help from you yet they have no modicum of the respect. Stubbornly, you are the strong for being everyone's "𝓐𝓽𝓮 𝓝𝓪𝔂𝓪, 𝓐𝓲𝓷𝓪, 𝓣𝓲𝓽𝓪 𝓐𝓲𝓷𝓪, 𝓐𝓻𝓲𝓴

Payphone

I was at a payphone trying to call home. They can’t be reached. I realized mom and dad won’t be able to pick up No one will call me to go home earlier Now, I feel like home is where my parents are I have no one to call anymore Trying to call friends, they were busy As I was walking down the sidewalks I reminisce, how I was crying my eyes out I got hungry, craving for a barbeque I went downtown These thoughts made me anxious I laughed, trying to hide the pain Deep down, I was always alone But at least I have peace of mind  - Naya Read more of my poetries at  https://nayawrites.blogspot.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMPAHXpzui/?utm_medium=tumblr Please DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!

The Bitter Pill To Swallow

Image
  The past two years have been the hardest for all of us. We have suffered a lot, from physical to mental and spiritual health. Why is that? Have you ask yourself this? I have been wondering why we are being tested. The Coronary Virus Disease 2019 or (COVID-19), as we all know it. Today is the 19th day of January 2022. Have you noticed that it seems like 2020 and 2021 passed by so fast?  Here I am, sitting in an office currently typing this blog post with pocketful of sunshines, bleakness, grief, sadness and a little bit of relief. I am relieved that I have survived two years of virus. I am into this age wherein I no longer have the eagerness to be surprised anymore.  WHY?  I am a warrior.  A fighter,  a survivor  and  a believer. I have survived MARAWI SIEGE. I am no longer interested in anything that will amaze me, I find myself waking up everyday doing mundane things. I sleep around 10pm after praying and then find myself being awake at 3 to 4 am in the morning. I make myself usef

WHY YOUR VOTE MATTERS! (Register Now)

Image
Are you registered to vote? If not, why not? I'm here to tell and encourage you to please REGISTER to VOTE, it's your right. Our future depends on who we will vote in this coming election on May 2022. Are you tired of corrupt officials? Good. Me too. Yes. Your one vote counts. It is very important and we should be vigilant in selecting our future leaders for the next 6 years. I'm tired of hearing politicians promises of change. Remember what President Rodrigo Duterte's slogan in 2016? CHANGE IS COMING. Have you felt it? 🤨 Yes, change indeed has happened but it was not for the better. I will not speak about his lack of promises and achievements. I will talk about why it is important for us to REGISTER AND VOTE. Why should you go out and register to vote on May 2022: It is your right to vote.  Voting is our chance for our voices to be heard on the issues that affect our lives. It will give us a chance to have a direct impact on the government we would like to have. We ca
