The Time Has Come: The Reaping Begins



THE REAPING

HAPPY BLOGGING! AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR.


"The Girl On Fire"

I think we all know this statement, as it was a successful movie series after all. I would like to start my blog using this quote, as I can relate to it. Just like Katniss Everdeen, I am a simple girl, trying to live with what nature gives me. I'm from the rising barangay of Piapi 1, one of the rural areas of the province of Antique. My family belongs in the middle of the district, let’s just say 6. I’m not from the richest of the rich or the poorest of the poor. My family is in the middle of the poverty line. That’s why I belong to this district.

If ever there is a reaping in my town, I would like to volunteer myself to find a way to stop it. I’m not confident in taking the front, but I would like to do it my way, like one of our heroes, Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda, by using one of the strongest weapons in the world: writing. I can’t say that it’s my forte, but this is where I can express myself. It feels like entering another dimension where I can freely communicate my thoughts. 

Even before I was in college, I had already learned and found the beauty of literature, but my reading habits depended on my mood. I love the colors black and red because they're the easiest and most collaborative colors to combine with one another, yet I’m still working on my editing skills. It’s not my hobby, and I only do it when the time calls. I am totally aware that the image I edited is sort of messy, but I think it’s bearable. I've already shared trivia about myself, and up until now I still hadn't introduced myself. I am Joela Georgette R. Tacda, the youngest daughter of Mr. Joel and Mrs. Ma Juvy Tacda. I have three sisters, and I am already on the 19th stage of my life, which I am not happy about. I wanted to stay as a child, with no problems, and be carefree.


One of my hobbies is writing, and I have a published story on a platform called GoodNovel. The story is about two guys who will unravel the mystery of the studio or apartment they are in, and then fall in love in the middle of the adventure. Actually, I am not proud of this novel because it is scruffy and I don't know if the reader likes it or not. And I find it uninteresting in the middle too, but it's part of who I am, so I am sharing it with you. This novel is the definition of my ups and downs. I experienced writer's block when I wrote this, and I stopped for six months before I continued writing the story. I have an upcoming one, and I wanted to try another genre, like mafia and some action. 


As I said, I love to watch movies and dramas. It's my stress reliever and the therapy that I didn't know I needed. From regularly doing this, I found my favorite actors, and I followed them on their social media to keep updated. Some of my favorite western movies and series are Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Divergent Series, Bad Boys, DOA, Charlie's Angels, So Close, Three Idiots, and Wrong Turn. In the case of Korean dramas and Thai series, these are what I love to rewatch: Boys Over Flowers, Business Proposal, Scarlet Heart, Descendants of the Sun, Theory of Love, Dark Blue Kiss, Sotus, I Told Sunset About You, Two Worlds, Big Mouth, and It Started with A Kiss. I am also into stanning and I adore an individual artist, like Woodz or Cho Seungyoun. Not to mention that I am a BL fan. 
I also love storing quotes from movies and dramas I've watched. Below is my favorite one so far. Simple yet powerful.
EVERYDAY QUOTE FROM THE MOVIE, "THREE IDIOTS": "All is Well."


As we all know, information technology has made our lives easier and more trouble-free. By using the products of these advancements, we can communicate quickly and easily with our loved ones. One of the benefits of technology is the convenience it can provide. In which we can save time and money when connecting with others. For example, when we need to inform someone about something, we can effortlessly say it by using our phones, particularly the use of social media platforms and apps for messaging. Information technology can also offer us what a physical store can give to its customers. It helps us to buy time and make our lives easier than they were before. I can purchase products using online shopping sites like Shopee and Twitter, and it's a big thing for me because, as a homebody, I don’t need to go out of the house to buy what I need, and with the combined power of connectivity and technology, I can do it in a snap. But when doing so, we need to be practical, as the shipping fee is borne by the buyer, and it’s pricey for me, so that’s one of the cons. Acquiring information about the topic that stirs my curiosity is not that hard, because technology has already provided what I need and is just waiting for me to navigate and search. 

Microsoft apps were well used during my entire high school life. It helps me speed up things by using different features that the app can give me. The bad impact of technology is that it makes me lazy, because I can access almost everything with just one click. It also affects my judgment as several pieces of information lie there, and I don't know what to believe or which is true amongst them. Also, it influences how I communicate, and I occasionally can’t control myself from using technology. I am dependent on it to the point that I can’t finish my activities without it. It’s not that I can’t live without it, but because I am used to using it and it’s already part of my academic life. The whole process of answering isn’t complete without technology. 

The tools that I use and totally enjoy are Microsoft apps; Canva; Google Services; Laptop; Mobile; Social Media Apps; OneDrive; Cloud Services; PicsArt; Spotify; Netflix; Discord; the Internet; and Zoom. I want to know more about UP Athens and Excel. If possible, I want to know about cracking codes, how to use them, and building a firewall.



Obliviate!
