Hi, thank you for reading. My name is Daniel D. Marquez and I am the owner of this journal. I am currently 20 years old, I live in Quezon City, and I am the youngest of one sibling. I have a bubbly, happy, and talkative type of personality. But the irony is, I am usually keeping that to myself until I personally know the person. The reason for that is because I am introverted and it always makes me shy to socialize. Nevertheless, I always make sure that I presented myself well and make the best impression among all of my first meet-ups. 

You can learn more about me by understanding my philosophy in life and that is; "Money is the root of all evil". It is rest assured that I will never lie and deceive for money because if I let myself be tempted with any amount, I might as well let myself be tempted with anything else, for the love of money is the root of all evil.

My father was unable to work for a long time and because of that, we were forced to make adjustments to our way of living. It came to the point where our food was served on repeat for a couple of days and I just remember how I couldn't complain because I, myself, know that the situation that we are in at that time was beyond our control.

Ever since the pandemic has started, my life has never been the same. I experienced hardships in terms of my mental health and financial stability. August 2021 was when my family has contracted the virus, I felt like we were all alone. Nobody wanted to help, and I can't blame them, because the virus is contagious after all. All we can do is to keep our faith high and pray that no one would be in danger.
