Hello hive dwellers, good day😄! I want to share with you all what my day consist of and how I spend it.

In the morning, after we woke up, we are going to take a bath and then eat our breakfast. I don't cook because my husband does the cooking especially at morning. He is a good cook, there is no sugar coating. He cooks better than me honestly, that is why I can cook only a few recipes because he is mostly the one who does the cooking at home. He told me if he continued his studies before,maybe he is now a chief.

I go to school along with my kiddos from 8:Am to 5:pm and my husband go to work till 5' also to provide our family. I do my best at school, writing essays, answering quizzes doing some performance task for grades. I'm doing my all at school to maintain good grades, which will serves as my ticket for college scholarships.

At 5 pm we I went home straight to help my parents clean the head and feet of the chicken, because we are selling barbecue at night . I help my parents because they have no jobs anymore and no source of income after they both suffered from stroke. At first it was my mom,and then my father. Inorder for them to survive, they start a small business which is a barbecue stand. I can only help them in this way because I'm also having a hard time financially. My husband's salary is not enough for our daily needs , so it really means I can't contribute even a penny on my parents. This reality pains my whole being, when supposedly in this trying times I can aid in my parents food consumption or even in buying their maintenance medicine.

This is my brother slicing and putting some spices and his wife's special ingredients together to make our barbecue tasty.

And here is my mom starting to skewer everything on the bamboo sticks, ready to be sold and grilled.

My father is sawing this big wood, because he is going to use it to cook the hanging rice .

I'm the one who make the hanging rice and my father will be the one who's going to put rice inside it.

After everything is done then we are going to display it in or small stand located beside the road.

We are selling chicken feet,head, intestine, blood, thigh, pork on sticks, hotdogs,chorizo to our customers.

My husband is the one who cooks for our dinner because I am busy helping my parents to sell barbecue along with my brother and his wife. I help them in exchange for a little money so I can use it as my allowance in school,for projects and for some fees.

If there is no customer yet, then I'm going to do my assignments,and some task about school for tomorrow. Then refrain doing if there is customer who will buy. When night time comes, about 6-7 pm I will be so busy selling barbecue, this is the peak time because this is the time Filipinos eat their dinner.

When our items are sold, we packed our things and go home.

At home, I teach my children about their school assignments if I don't have many tasks but if I have lots of tasks to do, I just leave them do things on their own. Sometimes I regret that i went to school again because I can't guide them if they are having troubles with their assignments , because mostly I was busy with my own assignments. I don't have time for them honestly. I always get irritated if they ask for my help, because my mind is rumbling about what to do first and I was having hard time on my own tasks as well.

And then I'm going to continue answering may assignments and doing some write ups and study for an hour.

After everything, when all is done , I will play the online game "Mobile Legend Bang bang" . This is my way of relieving stress . Somehow I forget all my exhaustion, my heavy responsibilities in the mean time. I know after the game everything will be back but at least my brain is not that stressed anymore. You know what, if I don't meet this game , I think I am crazy now, pulling cans along the streets because of depression. In this game I can relieve my stress through slaying enemies, and this is a fun game, too.

After an hour of playing then I go to sleep beside my family and get ready for tomorrow. Don't get confused why we are only three sleeping in our room when supposedly we are four. It's because our room is insufficient enough for us to sleep together comfortably, so my son , my first born sleep with my parent.I really dreamed of having a house of our own that can accommodate the four of us where we can sleep comfortably.

My hard work and sleepless night paid off. My inner child is healed somehow upon receiving this certificate. Even though I'm so tired everyday, because my obligations as a mom, as a wife, as daughter and as a student collide everyday. I even got miscarriage because of stress and there are times that I really want to quit but my goal is stronger than my exhaustion.I stay focused on improving my self and try my best to learn what my teachers want to impart us. I can use this knowledge as weapon in my future endeavors.

Doing things to change our situation is a bit tiresome , especially when money is the one keep on stopping us of reaching out dreams. We just have to keep on striving and trust the process. The fruit of our hard work will reap sooner.
