What is your favorite thing about this time of year?
Waking up every day healthy and well is a big blessing so I'd say that this is my favorite thing about this time of year.
My year has been a roller coaster ride,
Some days I woke up cheerful of all the good things that happened and some days I felt gloomy affected by yesterday's worries.
Some days I see opportunities and some days I experience setbacks.
Some days I felt like I am in a constantly changing phase, traveling on a colorful road with twists and turns, and some days I felt like I'm stuck in a corner, dark but plain and comfortable.
Some days I see myself happy for overcoming one problem and then some days I see myself in a series, overcoming one problem and realizing one is waiting.
My life is like this but I am thankful I got the chance to wake up every day to get through life and experience the good in every little thing.
How would you spend one million dollars?
6:00 pm.
Sitting on the porch, holding a blank sheet of paper and a pen gazing at the world's marvelous canvas and listening to my innermost thoughts.
How would I spend the one million dollars?
Now that I am dreaming, I will just go all the way and think the most of it.
I'm living in the Philippines and one million dollars is equivalent to almost fifty times in our currency and this huge amount can help me and other people.
Here is the list of how I would spend it.
💰 I will give the one hundred thousand dollars to my parents to help them. We are seven siblings and they had a hard time providing for us and sending us to school and universities. My parents had prepared educational savings in a bank unfortunately the bank closed. I didn't know what exactly happened but yes, the savings intended for our education faded like bubbles in the air. As a result, my parents lost their budget for our education and ended in debt to provide for us, seven children. With this money, they could pay off their debt. I also provide extra so that they could treat themselves with vacation and good food by which they deserve with all the years of sacrifices.
My parents.
💰 I will allocate the five hundred thousand dollars to make a livelihood for the less fortunate. If I give them just food, clothes, and other necessities, it will only run out and will leave them nothing again. So what I would do is let them learn to do something that would be beneficial. I will give them work so that they'd have a sense of income and wouldn't wait for someone to give them a penny. With their hard-earned profit, I will allocate a percentage to the improvement of the livelihood program and maybe help other farmers as well who need support. Little by little, step by step, I hope one day it will be bigger and can provide for many people.
💰 I will allocate the one hundred thousand dollars for animal shelter. It's a long story and I am not ready to talk about it, all I can say is that I was a failure fur parent and I want to be a better one by rescuing animals.
The fur baby I failed to take care.
💰 I will allocate the two hundred thousand dollars to build an occupational therapy center for my sister who has a dream of being a licensed occupational therapist to help people with special needs. It's also perfect because our older sister is a special education teacher-she teaches children with special needs. With this, we can help the children discover their special abilities.

💰 I will give the remaining one hundred thousand dollars for myself to invest in the business. With the profit, I will save for my future and maybe travel at least once a year and of course, make my business bigger. The remaining profit will be given to the animal shelter and occupational therapy center.
| Allocation | Dollars | Php |
|---|---|---|
| Parents | 100,000 | 5,000,000 |
| Livelihood for less fortunate | 500,000 | 25,000,000 |
| Occupational therapy Center | 200,000 | 10,000,000 |
| Animal Shelter | 100,000 | 5,000,000 |
| My Business | 100,000 | 5,000,000 |
| Total | 1,000,000 | 50,000,000 |
So those are the things I love to do.
