Fever from too much work

Don't laugh! I got sick from doing laundry! Now I must rest to get my strength back.

Yesterday, due to the very hot weather, laundry was stressful. Also, before dark, I went to drive my brother's motorbike, and while I was driving away the rain started to fall. It was already cold, and the wet air caused me to get sick. I really don't like it when I have a runny nose or headache or when it's hard to breath. Even my body was aching. I felt like I been lifting heavy stuff all day long. Well, I did yesterday, as I needed water to wash my laundry. First I had to fetch water and put on the the tub. Nobody helped me with it,  so I had to do it all by myself. Fetching water is difficult, when you have to bring it all the way to where your tub is. That's how province life is, we don't own a faucet.

So today I went to my cousin's house. His wife happened to know about massaging, so she gave me a massage for 50 Peso. I thought my body pain would go away after getting massage, but until now I am still feeling bad, and my arms is painful. My auntie told me if you feel the body pain while having cold, then the possibility is you'll be having fever, so before bed time I took medicine for fever, I hope this goes away when I wake up.

Philippines National Police (PNP)

The PNP is a lot in the news lately when browsing the internet. And it is mostly not good news: Blaming, hating, shaming all of the PNP. I find it a bit unfair to those who are loyal and dedicated to their professions. Sure there are a couple of black sheeps, but I know there are still good cops around. Some police troops do big time wrong, and because of those, also the nicest cops get bad press on the net. And the common people can't be blamed for not trusting most cops nowadays.

As a person who knew a few good cops, of course I just can't let my thoughts pass without commenting on this matter. I have relatives who are cops, and I know they're not the same as the other cops who do cruel things for money. Cops must be respected, but only those who are worth of it.

I hope these bad cops will soon be gone, I hope they stop shaming themselves for money. If only they work and act as a true policemen then there would be no problem.

Relieved

The best feeling in the world is when you have people around you that listen to you. That understand you for what you're going through. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell someone about what's bothering me, but here I am feeling so relieved that could discuss my personal problem that I wanted to forget, even though it can't be forgotten.

That feeling when you've no guts to tell anyone, even your family, about it, but you still ended up telling it to another person. And the other person takes you serious and discusses it with you honestly. In my case, it was better telling someone about my problem who is not a family. The own family sometimes does not have the necessary distance to the problem and then family betrays you by gossiping about it, or family exaggerates and by that bring you down. It is really hard to trust anybody nowadays. You'll only sense who's trusted and not.

I'm thinking if I would ever tell my mom about what I am going through, would she listen to me? Would she understand me? Would she cry and hug me? So many questions are in my head that are hard to answer.

Vacation is almost over

Today is Friday, just one more day before going back to the city. Vacation is comig to an end. Usually Monday noon is school day for me, so it means I will be having a hectic schedules this coming week, since we had a week of vacation. I'll have to deal with the P.E dance steps again, I have to learn the steps my teacher teached us last time. The sad thing is that I can no longer remember how the exact moves are.

P.E stressed me out everytime! I am bad at dancing, it's hard for me to learn. In school when we practice I'm always the one left hanging, looking at my other classmates who follow the dance steps easily. I really have to learn the dance steps that our teacher gaves us last time, because it will be our pre-final oral exam.

Sometimes I feels like giving up my P.E subject but thinking I'd not graduate if I stop going to P.E class, so I continue going, even tho it is hard dealing the subject. Those who can dance won't understand the struggle of other people who don't know how to dance. To them it's not a big deal, but to me everything that's difficult is always a big deal.

Canhugas Nature Park

It is official: The Canhugas Nature Park is no longer free for visitors. It has an entrance fee pg 1- PHP already. I think it is very affordable for every visitor. It is the same entrance fee with Minasangay. The advantage of most resorts and beaches here in the province is that they don't ask for too much in the entrance fee. Most other beaches demand a higher entrance fee than 10 PHP. But still Canhugas can now make money from that entrance fee from visitors. Let's hope the fee is used for preserving the nice environment there.

Now that Canhugas is no longer free, I hope that the number of visitors that comes to the place won't change. Everytime I visit the place, it's always crowded. I haven't been to Canhugas since the entrance fee is on, but soon I might go there to check it out now. Maybe the number of smaller children that spend their leisure time there may be reduced, since they can't really afford the 10 PHP, unless they are with their parents. But I will still go there, and pay my 10 PHP, since it is a nice place.

Weather is good for laundry

Just done with my laundry! My auntie will be happy once she gets home from work when she sees that I washed all her dirty clothes. This is the first time for me doing laundry alone at my auntie house. Most times, I and my cousin do things together, but she went to her school today, so I decided to do the laundry alone. They will be surprised. I can't wait to see their reaction later.

The weather is really nice today. Tomorrow my auntie has her free day. She works as a househelp and mostly does laundry at her boss' house. Hence, I think she would be too tired to do her own laundry on her break day. Instead, she can relax tomorrow. That's why I did her this favor. I am looking forward to doing more useful things for her.

All I have to do now, is wait for it to get dry so later I can pull it down.

P.E

I have a hard time with my dancing skills. Having a nice P.E instructor who understands students gives me more hope. P.E is one of the classes that are difficult for me. I do admire people who are good at dancing, but I really can't dance.

It's so hard for me to follow steps. I don't know why I can't just follow what everyone is doing easily. I don't want to faile the subject, but I still have two more practical dancing exams. I have survived the 1st and the 2nd ones, I even tried the 3rd ones this afternoon. Of course we only practiced but I haven't done it well.

Until nearly dismissal we continue our practice. Some know the dance steps already, some don't, including myself. So I approached my teacher before I left and told him that I will just keep practicing at home. He said: "It's okay,  you're not alone with this. I understand, but please continue practice." I was relieved when I left the door, because he talked to me in a nice way. It makes me smile and it motivates me to keep going. He is so much different than other teachers who only pay attentions to those who are better at whatever subjects they are holding.
