    One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is none other than my culture and traditions inherited from my forefathers. I can’t be prouder of it, as they hold significant importance and are unique in their own right. I am grateful for the preservation of these traditions, passed down from generation to generation, even without formal documents or books, but through oral folk songs and tales. They have been instilled in the lives of the younger generations.

    This is something that cannot be replaced, and its value is beyond compare.

  • Why do I fail in budgeting?

    To be frank, budgeting is something I have never been able to get right so far. Despite my continuous efforts to establish a specific budget for my monthly expenses, I find myself consistently falling short of the vision I have set for myself. Many times, I end up overspending, and this is not solely due to my personal expenses but also because of family-related expenditures. No matter how hard I try, I have never managed to gain control over this aspect.

    Currently, my approach to budgeting is flexible, as I tend to utilize the available funds without prior budgeting. I am actively seeking ways to instill a proper budgeting habit so that I can achieve better financial management.

  • Why “Weaving the colors” would be my biography title?

    If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
    View all responses

    If there were to be a biography about me, I would title it “Weaving the Colors.” I hold the belief that life is akin to tapestries of experiences, resembling various colors. As I absorb both the positive and negative aspects of these experiences and integrate them into my life, I see myself weaving different strands of colors to create a beautiful and marvelous attire. This process is a personal endeavor, and I take pride in the fact that it’s not a borrowed design but one that I’ve earned. So, “Weaving the Colors” would be a fitting title, as I continue to collect and intertwine the diverse strands to complete the unique pattern of my life.

    PS: It’s actually coming very soon.

  • New parents at my age?

    Daily writing prompt
    What were your parents doing at your age?
    View all responses

    My parents were likely new parents at my age, navigating the challenges of caring for their one-month-old daughter. It’s possible that they felt utterly clueless, especially my dad, regarding the responsibilities of parenting and providing for a family of four. Alternatively, he may have been less concerned about finances during that time, as my grandmother, his mother, was receiving a government pension.

  • The first things that I do is say praises to Jesus for the good things.

    You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
    View all responses

    Whenever I receive good news, the first thing I do is shout out praises to the Lord and express a heartfelt “Thank you, Jesus.” Following that, I immediately call my mom to share the news with her. I find immense joy in sharing such moments with my parents and siblings. As for others, I tend to share the news more gradually, perhaps later in the week.

    I don’t have grand plans such as hosting celebrations, treating myself to good food, or indulging in pampering sessions. I prefer to keep the joy within myself and my family before gradually sharing it with others. I’m not inclined to proclaim my achievements or share details with everyone.
