ᴛʀᴀᴠᴇʟ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ!!! Hi. I'm back for an interesting topic I have been thinking on. 😂 It is about  TRAVELING . If you think you are no longer needed in a place where you are stressed and the environment where there are toxic (both people and you're in a need to chill and find yourself.  Travel. If you have money, go! Just do it. Spend your money while you still have it and travel while you still can. HERE'S MY TRAVEL TIPS: 1. Plan ahead. (or not!)    • I have been traveling spontaneously for a year now and visiting my friends and relatives.   Research is the key. Go where you have always wanted to go. Remember that we only live once. Plan your itinerary. Book a flight that are on sale. Use vouchers and seat sales to book the cheap hotels and flights.  2. Spend Wisely. Only bring the essentials. If you're staying for only a few days, bring the necessary things you need for your trip. What to bring: ‌• Cash (Money) ‌•Valid IDs •‌Card (For Onlin

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
