THE DREAM: April 02, 2020

I dreamt last night. I saw my college friends who are very closed to me. And some are my friends way back my elementary days. The dream goes like this...

It was late afternoon. I and the half of the gang (MGF) was walking down the street looking somewhere to go. Then the scene change, we are now inside in a store. It wasn't clear if it was 7-Eleven or Pandayan Bookstore. But I know there's a lot of bookshelves and there is a Slurpee machine. It's weird though but dreams supposedly this weird, right?

Speaking of the Slurpee machine, Angelyn was standing beside it. With camera dangling on her neck, while waiting on her Slurpee.  I was standing beside her sipping my purple-colored Slurpee. I wasn't even remember what does Slurpee taste like. Anyway, she is taking pictures of several people on the door. It was Marco, Fe, and Arah. They are busy with a little machine near the door. It prints a QR code sticker when you type your name on it. I don't know what it is used for. 

JM is running on circle each bookshelf. When he saw Angelyn, he stops and makes a pose like a supermodel. Before he runs back again, he said he like my hair, which is weird because I am the one who admired his hair and wants to ask him how to achieve that.

Jack and Ellaine was busy on the corner reading a book. Ellaine is reading about a book on how to hack a safebox. She even show me how to unlock a treasure box using a single toothpick.( I should stop watching Money Heist by now.) Jack is focused on an FHM magazine. I still wonder even now I'm writing this, if I saw Ate Roxcel face on the magazine. My dream was too blurry. But I have the feeling it was her.

I approached the people on the door and ask them what are they doing. I even type my own name on the machine and it gives me two little QR code stickers. I am too was mesmerized by the machine that I didn't even notice there is someone waiting on their turn. It was Edralyn and Joyce Ann. They are my elementary classmates. I was surprised by their appearance on my dream. It was so out of the blue. They just stand there waiting their turn. To make up the awkwardness, I put the QR sticker on their chest. (Should I leave the part that I almost touch their... you know?) After that, they walk out of the store.

Karen is on the counter assisting the buying customer. She is wearing a party hat and an apron with a glowing text "I am a pretty girl" She is with a guy but I don't see his face because it's quite blurry but I feel I know him somehow. 

Then Ate Rox and Glaiza enters the store, both wearing pajamas and a bunny ear headband. I think they just came from a slumber party. Glaiza is still hugging her pillow. "Mga batang 'to magsi-uwi na nga kayo. Parang walang virus ah at gala pa rin kayo ng gala. I-benta ko kayo d'yan e. Uwi na!" Ate Rox shouted. Even on my dream she still very protective Ate that cares about everyone. 

Then I woke up. It was 5:30 in the morning. 

I am so glad, I could meet everyone kahit sa panaginip lang. Take care everyone.

4-7-8 Breathing Technique for Better Sleep

Nahihirapan ka rin bang makatulog sa gabi? Kahit na gaanong pagod mo sa buong maghapon ay nahihirapan ka pa ring dapuan ng antok? Sa article na ito ay ibabahagi ko sa inyo ang isang paraan na nakatulong sa akin paano magkaroon ng magandang tulog. 

Akala ko pangarap na lang para sa mga matatanda ang makatulog ng maayos sa gabi at gigising ng maganda at masigla. Hindi lang naman ikaw ang nakakaranasan nito. Kalahati ng populasyon natin ay nakakaranas ng kakulangan sa tulog. Dala na rin ito ng mga iba't ibang pangyayari sa buhay ng tao.

Wala man tayong kontrol sa mga bagay bagay na 'yan, pwede naman tayo mag-focus sa kung ano ang ating pwedeng kontrolin, which is ang ating paghinga. Kapag nasubukan mong manipulahin at kontrolin ang patterns mo sa paghinga, makakamit mo ang mapayapang kaisipan at katawan. Which is na kailangan natin para makatulog. Ang 4-7-8 breathing technique ay sobrang dali lang at hindi mo na kinakailangan ng kung anu-anong kagamitan maliban sa iyong sarili. 

Simplicity is Key

Ang 4 - 7 - 8 breathing technique ay isang breathing pattern o paraan ng paghinga na na-develop ni Dr. Andrew Weil. Naka-based ito sa isang Ancient yoga technique na tinatawag na Pranayama, na kung saan tinutulang nito na magkarooon ka ng kakayahan na kontrolin ang iyong paghinga. Paano 'yan gawin? Ganito lang:

1. Una, huminga ka ng dahan dahan mula sa iyong ilong sa loob ng  4 na segundo.

(Breathe-in slowly through your nose for 4 seconds)

2. Pangalawa, pigilan ang paghinga sa loob ng 7 segundo.

(Hold your breath for 7 seconds)

3. At pangatlo, Ilabas ang hangin mula sa bibig sa loob ng 8 segundo.

(Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds)

Then, ulitin mo ito ng 4 hanggang 6 na beses.

Habang ginagawa mo 'yan, i-relaxed ang iyong panga (jaw muscle) at isarado ang bibig habang humuhinga sa ilong. Kapag ilalabas mo na ang hangin, subukang ilabas din ang mga tension na galing sa iyong katawan sa pamamagitan ng pagbuha ng medyo malakas mula sa bibig. At ang  dulo ng iyong dila ay ilagay sa ngala ngala (Roof of your mouth), derekta sa likod ng ngipin. 

Hindi importante kung gaano katagal o kabilis mo s'ya gagawin, make sure lang na nasusundan mo ang 4:7:8 ratio dahil iyon ang mahalaga. Ibig sabihin nito na ang paraan mo ng paghinga ay pwedeng magbago base sa kakayahan mo. Mahalaga rin ang focus. Sobrang ikli lang ng attention span ng isang tao, kaya kapag napapansin mong naglilikot na naman ang utak mo, bumalik ka lang sa 4-7-8 breathing technique. At sa hindi mo na namamalayan, mahimbing ka nang natutulog.

This technique really helps me with my sleeping problems. Every time na gusto kong ma-relax, lagi ko lang ginagawa ang 4-7-8 breathing technique. This is helpful sa mga taong may insomnia at anxiety. Magandang brain exercise s'ya para maiba ang focus ng iyong mind instead of wandering around. I am a person who overthinks a lot kaya ang hirap i-showdown ng brain cells ko minsan. That is why I am really thankful I discovered this breathing technique. If nagiging health-conscious ka na rin tulad ko, or gusto mo lang talaga magkaroon ng magandang tulog, well, maybe it is the time to put away your smartphone before bed, then practice this breathing technique, and get your self a good night sleep.

Panginoon, Bigyan mo po Ako ng Lakas sa mga Panahong Nararamdaman kong Hindi ko na Kaya

Sa mga nakalipas na araw, nararamdaman kong nawawalan na ako ng gana. Isang garapon na walang laman; na kung dati ay puno ng lakas ngayon ay ubos na.

Minsan iniisip ko kung matatapos ba lahat ng mga paghihirap na ito. Nilalabanan ko naman ang lahat ng mga hadlang na dumarating sa aking buhay, pero pagod na ako. Matapos ang lahat ng mga pagsubok na aking pinagdaanan, mayroon na namang bagong darating. 

Sabi nila na ang Panginoon ay nagbibigay ng pinaka mahirap na pagsubok sa kanyang mga alagad, pero Panginoon ko, mukhang kailangan n'yo ho nang mahabang pasensya at paninindigan sa akin dahil minsan hindi ko na rin po alam kung paano magpatuloy pa sa buhay na ito. 'Yung gusto ko nalang sumuko at hayaan ang buhay na sumira sa akin.

Hindi ko po hinihiling sa inyo na tanggalin ang aking mga pagsubok, dahil alam kong ito ang magtuturo sa akin kung paano maging matatag. Hindi ko po hinihiling na tanggalin n'yo 'yung mga sakit na aking nararamdaman, alam ko rin po na ang mga sakit na ito ang s'yang magpapalakas ng aking puso. Hindi ko po hinihiling na maging madali ang lahat, dahil dito ko malalaman na sa hirap ng pagsubok, sing tamis nang inyong pagmamahal ang tagumpay na aking matatanggap. Ang sa akin lang po, bigyan n'yo pa po ako ng lakas dahil nanghihina na po ako, sobrang pagod na at hindi ko na po alam kung hanggang saan pa ang aking makakaya.

May mga araw talaga na nararamdaman kong hindi ko na kaya. 'Yung mga nangyayari ngayon ay sobrang naguumapaw at alam kong wala akong lakas para kayanin ito nang mag-isa. Binabalot na nang kadiliman ang aking pagiisip at pawang sakit at pighati na lamang ang dumadaloy sa aking ugat.

Maraming mga bagay na nagaganap sa akin ngayon na hindi ko maintindihan. Ang ilan sa mga ito ay ipinararamdam sa akin na parang wala akong halaga, walang kwenta at hindi kawalan. Nasa punto na yata ako ng kalungkutan na kung saan kinakailangan na ng tulong at suporta upang hindi tuluyang lumubog sa kumunoy ng problema.

Panginoon, alam ko pong patuloy n'yo pa po akong hinihubog upang maging isang ganap at mabuting tao pero gusto ko lang po hilingin sa inyo na bigyan mo pa po ako ng lakas sa mga panahong nararamdaman kong hindi ko na kaya. 

Alam ko pong pwede akong lumapit sa inyo kahit anong oras at inyo akong maririnig. Alam ko rin po na hindi n'yo intensyon na dalin ako sa punto ng buhay na ito upang iwan lang sa gitna ng trahedya. Patnubayan n'yo po ang aking kaisipan mula sa mga masasamang kaisipan. 

Ang puso ko ay puno ng pangamba ngunit ako po ay taos pusong nagtitiwala na bibigyan n'yo po ako ng kalakasan na kailangan ko para magpatuloy araw-araw.

Panginoon, lumalapit po ako sa inyo upang maging malakas - malakas na pangangatawan  sa patuloy na paglaban, malakas na pag-iisip at malakas na pananampalataya upang mabuhay. Kailangan ko po ng inyong lakas para maging matatag sa mga sitwasyong hindi na kinakaya ng sarili kong katawan.

Panginoon, humihingi po ako sa inyo ng tulong, tulong na kailangan ko upang harapin ang lahat ng mga pagsubok na darating pa sa aking buhay. 

Panginoon, bigyan n'yo po ako ng lakas na kailangan ko ngayon upang nang sa ganoon ay makakakita pa ako ng isang magandang bukas.

How To Get More Battle Points (Mobile Legends)

Today we are going to talk about farming battle points. I know this might be very basic but I'll sure you'll agree that every one of us does experience a lack of battle points especially when new heroes come out. 

So we will be discussing different ways that you might already know or you might not. But just in case I hope this guide will help out someone out there.

ALL ABOUT BATTLE POINTS (Mobile Legends)

1. Free Chest

It resets every 4 hours and gives 40 - 50 battle points. This may be low but if you manage to get all the chest per day you can get a maximum of 240 battle points. Note that this chest can be stacked up to 2 times so you don't really need to log-in every 4 hours. You can log-in every 8 hours and you can still get to open 2 chests. And this chest also gives you 30 exp, emblem fragments, magic dust, and tickets in a random amount.

2. Medal Chest

It is the chest above the Free Chest. But unlike the chest earlier you have to fill-up the meter. It unlocks after you get 10 medal points. After a game, an MVP gives you 10 medal points. An MVP in a losing team gives you 7. Gold medal gives you 7 too. 5 medal points for silver and 3 if you manage to get yourself a chocolate snack after a great game (bronze). This chest reset every 24 hours and like the first one, it can also be stacked up to 2 chests so that is nice. It gives 200 to 250 battle points, also gives 185 exp - but who cares? everyone probably has a max account level now anyway. It gives random emblem fragments and magic dust, premium skin fragments, and a skin trial.

3. Daily Quests

This is another source of battle points. In here you can get 230 battle points if you fill-up the meter with activity points and aside from that your accumulated activity points throughout the week go to this chest. If you manage to get up to 400 points you will unlock this blue one. It doesn't give battle points but it gives three hero fragments which you can use to buy some hero saving you some battle points in the process. But the pink chest, this is the one that you should always try to get if you are after battle points. It unlocks after you get 800 points of activity and it gives 500 battle points. Sweet! It also gives premium skin fragments, 60 magic dusts, and a random epic trial skin.

4. Share on Facebook

If your account is connected to your Facebook account you can share once per day and it will give you a double battle points card for one victory. Another thing is if you lose you will have access to help options that you can use for three times. It gives you up to 150 battle points. You can also gift battle points to your friends that also play Mobile Legends and this doesn't take from your own battle points so no need to worry about that. And if they send back, that's an extra 50 battle points for you.

5. Daily Login

Log in to the game also gives you battle points. For day three it gives you 300 up to 1000 battle points. Day 5 log in to give you between 0 to 500 battle points. And yes you can spam playing classic or brawl or vs. AI if you just wanna like to get that MVP but sadly the battle points you get per match are limited. Normally the weekly limit is 7500 battle points but if your credit score is around 100 - 109 your weekly limit will be raised to 8,000 battle points. And if your credit score is at a maximum of 110, your weekly limit will now be raised to 8,500 battle points.

6. Victory Double Battle Points

And like I said earlier, you can get one victory double battle point card if you share in Facebook once a day. You can collect those until Sunday and you'll have seven of those battle points cards. And if you use these victory battle point cards after you reach your weekly battle points limit, you can actually bypass it. Let say you played classic and you used the victory battle points card, you will get a minimum of 220-250 per match that makes a minimum of 1,540 extra battle points even if your weekly limit has been reached. 

7. Squad Activity Rewards

Other sources that give battle points are also the squad activity rewards in case you're in a squad this gives you 100 to 400 battle points depending on your squad's activeness. So you got to play with your squadmates to increase your squad activity points.

8. Trial Cards

Trial Cards can also give some battle points if you already have the skin or the hero and thankfully Moonton added a feature that automatically converts these trial cards to battle points if you already owned that skin or hero.

9. Achievements

Achievements also give battle points. But you should not really stress much about it. They will come naturally as you play the game.

10. Advertisement Chest

And lastly, these advertisement videos. So if you have time to spare and you have a severe case of battle points addiction this can also give you battle points.

I think that is all the tips I can give you for battle points farming. I really hope this article helps even just a little bit and let me know in the comments if you got a new information from this and if not feel free to comment down anything we have missed when it comes to battle points farming so you can help everyone out there!
