Hello song writers and hive singers it's been a while since I sang a song for the @hiveopenmic. These weeks theme; **travel** is an opportunity for me to reminisce the high school lives we had. How did I learned these tune? I listen to a friend that sung it in a videoke. A equipment were we need to drop a coin to play a song. Each song cost 5.00 peso or .009$. I never believe the saying; **High school life** would be the best, until I missed to be a simple student. Now I had kids that also go to school, I didn't expect that life will be difficult as these. My previous classmates are also busy with their own family. I hope I made my entry just on time.

#### Zombie - Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly,

Child is slowly taken.

And the violence cause such silence;

Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me,

It's not my family,

In your head, in your head,

They are fighting.

With their tanks and their bombs,

And their bombs and their guns,

In your head, in your head,

They are crying.

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.

What's in your head, in your head?

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.

Another mother's breakin,

Heart is taken over.

When the violence causes silence,

We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since 1916.

In your head, in your head,

They're still fighting.

With their tanks and their bombs,

And their bombs and their guns,

In your head, in your head,

They are dying.

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.

What's in your head, in your head?

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.

Is it a happy TGIF for me hive world? Last year I always mentioned that I want to bring my kids to the mall. And because Christmas is the season of holidays. We took the opportunity to unwind for a while. Every year my husband gives us $9. Yes including me 😁. I went to the point that I envy the others but I've tried harder to understand him. We have many kids. I used the money of my two kids and mine to be able to accomplish what they also wanted. But I guess it's not enough, because I've checked the entrance fee online and it's really pricey. So I withdrew some in my online wallet. We're good to go, we actually waited long for a tricycle to pass by.

I rarely go outside our house. I'm really an introvert, if my daughter @katsuki is not around I will only bring and pick up Ria at the school. I cannot go to the store or anywhere alone. I need to bring a kid with me, the older ones. My husband is strict on making his own issues in life. I accept it again, I just thought that I was too beautiful and his just a jealous man. But what makes you think that brought me here in blogging? If his too jealous of simple things. If you are my follower in hive you'll probably know the reasons why... My man can instantly change his mood when it comes to money. So I said above *we took the opportunity.* And while then stars are guiding us, we'll be happy even for once.

I was like **Tarzan** that came out from the Jungle lol 😆. Pictures everywhere, I really want a detailed one for this memorable experience with my kids. We used the escalator and reached the fifth floor, I was crazy to look above after reaching the top, my anxiety is bothering me. We went closer to the fees before going inside the play pen. For me it's as big as a hectare of a farm. No wonder it's cost a lot.


@katsuki is already 18 so she's already free from the expenses, she's counted as an adult. So the three is the problem. But the security guard was like a guardian angel that day 😭. See the prices.

**1 kid with an adult - 550 pesos or $9.4 for 1 hour.**

**1 kid with an adult - 750 pesos or $12.9 for 3 hours.**

@katsuki and my son decided that they'll just stay outside. Or just scroll around the mall. But the guard made a miracle, he helped me fill out the form because I don't know what he is up to. At the cashier; they asked for my daughter's ID card. Now I only need to pay 1500 pesos $25.7 for the four and us and my son; the body guard covered him so it can also go inside the pen.

We have a lot of fun at the Kinder city. But Ria was afraid of the big slide which her elder brother and sister are enjoying. I accompany her to her little stuffs inside the place.

There's also called **clean up** in the play pen. So we need to go out and come back after 10 minutes. We we're hungry and thirsty. We run out of water, we bought fries for 195 pesos. I choose cheesy cheese and sour cream. But I only bought one large milk tea. @katsuki29 told me instead of it bottled water will help us quench our thirst. We need to budget our money so we can go home.

Hello @hiveopenmic community it's been while since I participated in this wonderful challenge. Today is the last day of the Music Event and I hope I'm not yet late to submit my entry. For this week's theme ***Take Me Home*** and my song choice; **Leaving on a Jet Plane, Song by: John Denver**

**Lyricist: John Denver**

**Composer: John Denver**

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside your door,

I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.

But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, the taxi's waiting He's blowing his horn.

Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down, so many times I've played around,

I tell you now they don't mean a thing.

Every place I go I'll think of you, every song I sing I'll sing for you,

when I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you,

close your eyes, I'll be on my way.

Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone,

about the times I won't have to say:

kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

*I grew up listening to this kind of music 🎵🎶 and for me to be able to practice singing; I need to sing the songs of a Male. Female voice are so high. I regret that I didn't obey my mom's advise to join a Choire on a church. Now all I can do is to sing in the bathroom 😁. This is not my first time to join in hive open mic music event so maybe some of you already heard me singing. Some says that I have a good voice. I just need to practice. All we have to sing from our hearts. My chosen song; since then I understand it's deep meaning that man didn't want to leave his lover. But he has no choice, but when the right time come I know he'll never leave her lover again. It's like a perfect song for those lovers that meant in a long distance relationship.*

*Thank you so much for reading and listening*

*XoXo, @usagigallardo015*

A pleasant morning @asean.hive family it's raining cats and dogs last night 🤧. The lightning and thunder was very loud, my post was supposed to be published last night. But I was really scared with the loud noise. The sky was like crashing and it's the first since the last rainy season last year. I didn't expect that rain will come early. I don't know if last night will makes me want to regret that I wished for a rain to come. Our house was flooded last night 😔.

My post for today is all about a unique talent that I seen very closely. I couldn't believe the danger it's risking just to earn money. If you take a closer look on the video you will hear laughter and amazement. Hubby also said that the performer creates a fireball by exhaling a fine mist of fuel over an open flame. It's really dangerous but they seen have no choice by their choice of profession. We are supposed to go home because hubby is already drunk, but he heard the drum and saw the preformers. He called and pay them $9 just to perform inside his aunt's place. Hubby said that's its a good luck when that kind of performer goes inside a house. Because it can take away the bad spirits. At Manila in his brothers house they also called performers to personally entertain them. They spend a lot of money because a good luck will follow. But of course they still need to work hard on everything.

It's fiesta of our near barangay and my husband is not allowed to go there without me 😅. Her aunt will shout at him and tell him what is your plan? Prisoned your wife? Well sort of a yes sometimes. Me, Ria @katsuki29 was happy to see tita Nenette she feed us, she is very hospitable too. The drinking session wouldn't missed out.




We visit his friend at the near river but I didn't expect the danger it has. Look at the person standing at the corner. One wrong move and they'll sure fell down. They couldn't say they are used to be living that way. There could be accident that might happen. But they have no choice because nature really affects our lifestyle.

Hello wonderful community of @foodeisbeehive it's been a while since I wrote my own personal recipe. So for today let me cooked you something hot even the weather is extremely hot in our place. Just 39-40 degree celsius I wished that extreme heat won't allow to cooked an egg on the roads again. I was like What the!? Well I just see it on tv and I think my reaction is just quite right. Three weeks from now my kids has still no classes the reason El Niño phenomena. Its breaking my brains I can't even maintain writing thousands words a day. I was like a dragon that will exhale fire any time.

The reason why I cooked this dish is my kids has also colds. I think the weather was the cause and sometimes we need to steady the fans to make them feel better.

I just finished cooking **"Sour Soup Shrimp"** except for fish we also caught shrimp in water world. With different sizes too. But since my son sell the big shrimp I'll have the smaller version for my today's post. My son made more $21 just by catching shrimp in his barehands. His father told him that if he just started earlier he will earn more money. Many kids also tried their luck I catching shrimp and because nature is kind they all have their part. Hardship is always the key.

#### Ingredients

1/2 Shrimp *(we call this "swahe") but any shrimp will do*

1 medium Onion

A piece of Ginger

2 medium Tomatoes

1 Green Chili

Radish (optional)

3 cups of Water

Seasoning

2 tablespoon of fish sauce

> I'm sorry I wasn't able to capture all the ingredients but I made a video for today.



#### Let's Start

Wash & sliced the ingredients needed I also trim the shrimps hair. In a casserole I put the onion, ginger, green chili & tomatoes add 2 cups of water and let it boil. Then the shrimp and radish, I add another one cup of water. Cover with the lid after it boils I add the seasoning, fish sauce and powdered tamarind. Cover again and let it simmer and its done. You can see in the video on how the soup changes and turns to red. Its because of the fats and egg of the shrimps. Ria loves the soup it will make feel better and eat plenty too. Hope you like my dish 😋

Hello cloud hunters happy Monday everyone, a new week has started all over again. Hope to be productive even I'm a bit busy with my kids and at home. And today I'm going to submit my entry to @tobetada's love the clouds contest #184.

Two nights ago I was left alone in the kitchen eating, I sometimes was a slow eater or I ate late because I first feed my younger kids. After Ria and my 8 year old son finished their meal they told me that they want to go inside our room because we're hearing some thunder that might shake the ground again. And our guess was right it was begining to light the sky with lightning. I was shaking if you heard my voice in the video I was afraid that I may got shocked and drop my son's phone.





It was not my first time to take photos of lightning. And my technique is; I'll just observe the sky before I pull some strength to do it. If their won't be any thunder after the lightning it's a perfect time to catch some photos. But I read it's not safe for the eyes. But nature is very amazing, ambitious, breathtaking and it's my pleasure to let you see my images.

Hello everyone hello hivers I'm new to this wonderful community so first of all let me greet you a blessed Sunday. My very first post is all about my son's invention. Ever since he was young I saw and observe that he loves to make toys on his own. I mean as a kid everyone sure will not reject a new toy specially when it's battery operated or controlled by a remote control. But son is quite different every time his toy will be ruin he will not just put in a junk but rather open the inside and see what he can do to recycle it.

I can remember he was on elementary days about grade four or five he saw his older cousin made something; a kind of stuff that will absorb the water and can transfer on the other side. Yes and all he have can easily found inside the house.

And today let me show you one of his upgraded invention. Why a word *upgraded* I remember before he made a boat out of a plastic container. A small box from a small flashlight and it was successful but the boat only turned around and around, because it was out of a small square plastic box. His father and uncle saw it and amazed that my son is patient enough to do that stuff. Next was out of plastic bottles *the small ones* too bad that I don't any photos of it, it was years ago and to now I want to flex my son's hard work. His already 13 years old but I can see his still happy to build his own toy. Even her elder sister was impress and told that he'll be needing that skill when he turned garde nine or ten.

This is one of my son's invention or diy car. My brother in law told me to take photos of it because it will help him improve his work. *And today I'll show you his diy boat made out of styrofoam.*



### Materials


Styrofoam, my son used a hard one

Kitchen knife *take extra careful in using it*

Glue stick

Glue gun

Scotch tape

Electrical tape

Wire

Ziploc

4 pieces of double AA battery, but if you bigger batteries the better it will

Fan *(elesi)*

Children's electric car DC motor

Switch

Sand paper

My son cut the styrofoam into a shape of a boat, about 9 inches in length and 3 inches width. Point the top edge it will the pressure of the air pass through. Then he used a sand paper to finished the edges. He used a scotch tape to tigh the batteries and joined them to together. He put wires on both sides so that energy or electricity can walk through.




And now it's time to heat the glue gun, on the photos you'll see that my son is attaching the batteries into the styrofoam.




##### And now the cable wires and switch, on the video you'll see how he manually attached it one by one.



And here's the finished product, out from an old toy he made a new one. Looks very simple to do while looking at it, but it was tough, specially if you're not patient enough. My son want to build more toys his passion and eagerness to learn more will lead him to success.

Hello hivers of this wonderful community, it's been a while first let me greet you a happy weekend. Hope everybody is fine and happy, I'm here again to participate in @hiveopenmic music event theme *Disney* and the theme reminds me of my childhood days. I was an only child and being alone leads me to a fantasy that my life will somehow lived happily ever after. Until I met my prince charming 💞

But every Disney story has its life and story, like *Cinderella* that found his prince that saves him from his cruel stepmom and stepdaughters. *Snow White* was lucky to have his dwarfs that also leads him to a prince that suddenly broke the spell and woke her up. *Belle* even saw the true beauty of beast and true love never needs what on the outside but always felt what's on the inside. *Princess Jasmine* only wants freedom but because of their true love they were all set free and found happiness. And I choose *Arielle* for my entry for this contest, her passion to be part of the unknown world leads her with true happiness.

https://youtu.be/SXKlJuO07eM?si=twvG7DeA-1n81Yo1

While listening and watching to the original video I was emotionally inspired and thinking on what if I were the mermaid inside and wanting to have a pair of legs. I even enjoy singing with a thrill and desire it is my honor to sing it here in @hiveopenmic. I sung outside our house *Arielle* song reminds me of our place. The difference is I have legs which doesn't have but we all in purpose we all did it for love.



#### *Part of the World*

*Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you think

Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs?

I've got twenty!

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more*

*I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'

Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?

Oh - feet!*

*Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down a - what's that word again?

Street*

*Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free - wish I could be

Part of that world*

*What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?

Bet'cha on land they understand

they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand*

*And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?

Burn?*

*When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world*
