~Oil

~Vanilla Extract 1/2 teaspoon 

I chose this because I love to eat brownies! It makes my tummy and heart happy!

These are the following steps on how to make brownies:

First, you are going to mix together the dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls. Combine the sugar, flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and salt in a medium bowl. Then, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and water in a large one.

Next, combine wet and dry ingredients. Sprinkle the dry mixture over the wet one, and fold until just combined. And the batter will be thick!

Then, pour the batter into an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it to all four sides of the pan and to smooth the top. The mixture will be very thick and that’s ok.

Finally, it was bake! Transfer the pan to 325-degree oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs attached. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving. Yummy!

This is the awesome steps on how to bake brownies in home.I hope that you enjoy and understand the steps easily!

We used to eat outside instead of cooking especially when we have complicated schedules. Since the pandemic came we are not allowed to go outside. Malls and other restaurants are not accepting dine in customers, they only serve the orders in drive thru and thru deliveries.

Grab riders became in-demand because of the situation now. They are considered as frontliners because their job isn't that easy. They are sacrificing their health just to earn money for their family.

They were traveling all day in different routes, not minding how hot the weather is nor how rainy it is. Their efforts is the sign how hardworking they are not thinking that they might catch the virus anytime because they are engaging with different people every day.

I chose grab riders in this article to inform everyone that even if they are just a rider we should still respect them and their job just like how we respect the other professionals. This will also serves as a reminder to everyone to stop pranking them or doing fake booking to gain views and followers, because the orders will be paid by them and their salary is maybe not enough for it. Stop this tactics it doesn't make you cool either. Think first the outcome before doing it. Be responsible to your decision always.

Grab riders and the other riders that is responsible for the deliveries are one of the heroes that we had in this time of pandemic.

Kudos to all the riders out there!

Catriona Elisa Magnayon Gray known as "Catriona Gray" she is a Filipino-Australian model, singer, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe 2018. She was born in January 6, 1994.

In year 2016, 2nd day of October she was crowned as Miss World Philippines 2016 she won 4 special awards, the awards are: Best in Swimsuit, Best in Evening Gown, Best in Fashion Runway, Best in Talent. She also won endorsement awards. When she reached the top 12 question and answer round she was asked "When you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you see?"

She courageously answered "I see someone who is constantly trying to be better. I've always endured to always be better than the day before, to do things that challenge me, to do things outside the box. And something that is very fulfilling that I have found is when I look in the mirror, I want to see someone who gives back to the community, and that's someone who I achieve to be every single day."

Her answer is very meaningful, when you analyze it very well you'll be inspired on what she said. After that round she eventually reach final question and answer round all of the five finalist. The questions asked to here were the same "Why should you be Miss World Philippines 2016?"

Catriona answered, "To be a Miss World is to be passed a torch that burns with passion and purpose. If I am to become Miss World Philippines, I will dedicate my voice and essence to carry that torch and to set charitable causes alight, such as my personal advocacy, the Paraiso Bright Beginnings Project. And I would focus on passing on this torch to empower others because I believe together there is no darkness in this world that our light cannot overcome."

Hearing her answer in this question would make every Filipino proud she was very dedicated to all the people in our country. The last phrases that she answered was stunning it proves that she's willing to help, be a role model that we should imitate. She's probably the light in our darkness life.

After that competition she also joined Binibining Pilipinas 2018 where she wore the national costume competition a Muslim princess attire from Mindanao and bagged the national costume award.

In the same year she also joined the competition Miss Universe 2018. The pageant was held in IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand at the 17th of December. The national costume she wear was filled with beaded tribal suit featuring the indigenous tribes of the ancient pagan Filipinos, alongside an oversized Parol painted Christmas lantern pulled by a roller device.

In preliminary stage Catriona Gray did her slow motion walk or they called it "Lava Walk" in rampage wearing her pink swimwear which was praised by supermodels Tyra Banks and Ashley Graham, fashion commentators and Internet viewers.

She was qualified at final question and answer with the two other contestants. They were asked by the same question "What is the most important lesson you’ve learned in your life and how will you apply it to your time as Miss Universe?"

She answered,

"I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila and the life there is very... it's poor and it's very sad. And I’ve always taught myself to look for the beauty in it; to look in the beauty in the faces of the children, and to be grateful. And I would bring this aspect as a Miss Universe to see situations with a silver lining, and to assess where I could give something, where I could provide something as a spokesperson. And this I think if I could also teach people to be grateful, we could have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster, and children will have a smile on their faces."

She won the competition as MISS UNIVERSE 2018. Catriona Gray was the 4th Filipina Miss Universe after Gloria Diaz (1969), Margie Morgan (1973), Pia Wurtzbach (2015). Catriona Gray is the first Filipina to represent the country in both the Miss World and Miss Universe competitions.

I chose her to be the famous person in my article because I really love how she dedicate herself to represent our country. When it comes to question and answer portion her answer was very inspiring. Especially her answer in the final round of Miss Universe that made her won it was very real, she even elaborate her experiences there. She said in an interview that her answer was not about romanticizing poverty but she was highlighting the spirit and determination of people living in that situation. She always nailed her answer that's why it stayed in everyone's mind.

The Banaue Rice Terraces

(Filipino: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) this terraces were carved into the mountains of Banaue, Ifugao, in the Philippines, by the ancestors of the indigenous people. The terraces are occasionally called the "Eighth Wonder of the World". It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand. The terraces are located approximately 1,500 metres (4,900 feet) above sea level.

We went in Ifugao year 2015 it was our first time going there with the family friend of us. We traveled 2-3 hours from Nueva Vizcaya to Ifugao, it was a great experience for me because the road before is near the cliff I enjoyed the view even it gets me paranoid but I still enjoyed it especially the rock formation. We stopped there and take pictures because it was a good spot.

This is the arch before you enter Banaue, we also stop here to take a picture. When you stop here you might see a mini park at the left side where you can rest and eat. We stayed there for 30 minutes, me and my friend play there and talk about many things. After that we continue our travel on the way to Banaue Rice Terraces.

After a long hour we finally reached the Banaue Rice terraces. It really looks different in reality than the usual picture I've seen. There is souvenir shop in here I bought necklace or they called it "dream cathcher". I enjoyed the view at the overlooking spot you can see the whole Rice Terraces. I can say that this is one of the best tourist spot here in Philippines, when you are in the top you can relax and refresh your mind.

Since we went there at the month of December the weather is good yet cold and it is not the right time to visit there because the Rice Terraces color is brown and if you want to witness the greenest of it the best month to visit Rice Terraces is month of April-May or October-November. But you can still enjoy the view and I assure you that it was the best spot even though the travel hour is a bit tiring but when you reach the Rice Terraces it will be all worth it.
