Love It, Shove It CHALLENGE!

Posting this because a friend of mine challenged me to have this “love it, shove it challenge”. I was challenged by @melanie0625, thank you Mel. She mentioned that it started from @snowpea. I was undecided whether making this post or telling my friend not to do this challenge, she won actually. Here are my lists of top 5 love it and top 5 shove it.

Honestly, I am not that religious to go to the church everyday, not like others but I do believe in God and I always pray. Everytime I go to church, I always go to Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino to hear mass and pray. Having problems or not, I pray and always thankful for the things I have now and people around me. Sometimes we are confused and feeling sad and the only thing we could do aside from solvinng it is to pray, going to church for me is likely to have some of life bug questions answered and being there is a sign of discipleship. It will help you define what you believe.

God gave me a brave woman to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself, that's my “Nanay” (mom). When my father died, everything changed and the only thing we could do is to be there for each other. She filled my life with care , love and support. She has always been there for me. Seeing her happy is a great feeling for me. Life hasn't always been fair, I fell down along the way and I got wounds that couldn't be seen but through it all she never left my side. And no matter how badly I failed, I always knew she would treat me like a winner. She is my everything and I do love her so much.

Ever since I held the camera and took some shots I knew I would love and embrace photography. There's this quote that I like about photography, it says “Photography is a story I fail to put in words.” In my case maybe it is true, I love taking pictures but It's hard for me to express what's in it. It's like capturing the photo and it's all there. I am not a pro and still learning from people in this field of photography. Photography for me is my stress reliever, I always take my camera whenever I travel, go to the beach or have some activities with my friends and in school where I work.

One of my stress relievers is going to the beach. My soul wouldn't be calm if I couldn't go there at least once or twice a year. I sometimes go there with my friends or family when I am in my hometown. But here in the city we need to drive 2-3 hours to get to a beatiful beach or more than that but it' worth it because you could really enjoy the white sand beach, relaxing under the sun while sipping some drinks and watching the sunset sinks into the water, oh I love it!

It has been 4 years since I've been doing this sport. For me it really helps me a lot when it comes to fitness and not to gain weight much. A friend of mine introduced me to this sport because she knew that I was struggling with my weight before. At first I was hesitant doing it, it's actually an intense sport and I thought I would execute it well but I tried because my friend encourage me to do it and it helped me. Until now I do kickboxing to be fit (not to compete okay? I am not that strong! Haha) and to discipline body/self.

In our hometown, this is called “lato” or “guso”. My mom, even my nieces love to eat this. For me it is actually disgusting to my taste, we have different taste buds so yes I don't like to eat this. They said it has lots of vitamins and it's nutritious. I can eat some seafoods but not this one.

I do love beaches and I could say it's a paradise for me but whenever I go to some beaches and saw some garbage on the sand, cans and wrappers being left there it kind of irritates me because people who do this are irresponsible, they should keep the beach and the environment clean.

The term crab mentality refers to the behavior of crabs wherein If you based it in the behavior of some people, those who always try to pull down other people who are succeeding in life and getting ahed of them. Instead of assisting or helping each other reaching on the top are pulling each other down, this is a not a good behavior, we should try to be happy to other people what they have and not to compete. I really hate those who compete other people because they could sea that they ar behind already, why not be happy for them and just do your thing?

They are one of the most enjoyed food but for me I don't enjoy eating them. They can be put as one of the toppings on pizzas or salads but I always get these things because they don't get to my taste, sandy feeling when I ate it. I don't know why some people love these.

“Stop letting others take advantage on you.” These words always stick on my head. I have been taken advantage by some people but they did not hear my side, I was angry but I kept it. I realized even if you are very nice to some people they sometimes take advantage of you because you are okay with that. NO this time and NOT anymore! I really hate people doing that.
