The best way to is to resort to silence by merely turning off all the alerts.

 

  • Soundproofing your space can also help you prevent all the noise. There are several different ways in which you can make your home quieter.

While decorating your home, always go for a lot of objects that you can place in the room so that most of the sound is absorbed.

      love silence, too. Parang mas madaling makapag isip at makatapos ng work. I often stay lang sa room and can even survive without opening the tv.

    Silence is very helpful for me pag gusto kong magrelax at ialis ang sarili ko sa reyalidad. Pero minsan pag tahimik saka na man ako nag ooverthink din. Huhu ang dami ko kasing problema. Dito na man sa bahay namin, maraming bata kaya maingay talaga haha pero naeenjoy ko rin na man but sometimes tama ka Momi, na nakakahighblood ang maingay. Hahaha pag nag aaway kasi ang mga pamangkin kong naglalaro dito sa bahay, lahat na iiyak. Pero after nun, pauuwin ko na sila at magiging tahimik na ulit ang bahay. Hehe
