PHOTOBLOG: I am awake now that September ended I have already posted this photo in one of my articles regarding birds that visited our yard. House birds or English sparrow are the most common bird that we see everywhere. Those birds were perched on our poinsettia plant. That poinsettia plant have been there for as long as I can remember. It seems to be older than me. I have been sharing here my photos that I have saved in my social media account which were taken on certain…
The end of our temple run It's the end of our Indonesian tour. In case you missed it, here are the previous articles about it. Quickie in Bali - read about temples and beach https://read.cash/@ARTicLEE/quickie-in-bali-9c18eac4 Visit at Borobudur Temple - travel 20 hours to visit this 7th century temple. Although I did feel like a millionaire there, the worth of items and services there are by the thousands so that million will be gone in an instant.…
The other savings. PHP50 is worthless. **bbyblacksheep** wrote about her Piggy Banks and why they decided to open it. You can read there how much have they saved and for how long. Also, she wrote about how many piggy banks they have. https://read.cash/@bbyblacksheep/piggy-banks-4645ad71 Before the introduction of real banks, people would save some of their money using jars or other household wares but more particularly a jars made of clay or mud which was called pygg. Later…
155/90 on 10/04/21 I posted the lead image in my noise account. I did some edit of course which was inspired by other noisers as well. https://noise.cash/post/lg3z9mqj So moving on. I have not been able to post an article yesterday because I went and had my first dose of vaccination. I belong in the rest of the population group so we were the last ones to be vaccinated. I was informed by a friend who was informed by a friend that there were few people at the vaccination site…
Thoughts over coffee. Coffee is now part of my life and I speak in behalf of all coffee lovers out there. I have not been a coffee lover before. I prefer milk, choco drink, tea, water - anything other than coffee. I think it was when I started working in a BPO that my coffee started. It was a gradual process. I find it bitter at first but I have grown to love it. It started with tasting the coffee of co-employees. Yes, we are just a small company so we get to share things…
Distractions. I do welcome them. It's free writing again. It's the weekend. It's raining outside. Not that strong. Just a lazy rainfall. As lazy as what I feel right now. It's gloomy, dark, wet and cool. The world on my end has retired early. I am just done with my tasks so here I am with read. I haven't posted yesterday for after work, I did some noise and then slept early for I went for a morning jog earlier today. I do love my job. However, sitting in front of the…
Thank you for your the walks/jogs. You served me well. Time for recap about my walks the past days. Before I do that, let me make a tribute to this partner of mine. Yup, it totally retired on me lol! You see, I don't collect shoes. While others have a lot on their shelves collecting dust, I only have three pairs at the moment and now it's down to two. I tried a lot of different brands before. The most number of pairs I have were five or probably more because I couldn't find…
Ramblings and rumblings I can still feel draft getting in spaces that they can get in. I can still hear the wind outside tossing what's left of the rain. I hope tomorrow is going to be a better day. Lots of places underwater. Lots of deaths again from landslides. Some roads are unpassable. Let's take our thoughts some place else. ****Movies**** I just watched Free Guy online. What I learned from that is to give importance to everyone. We all matter for we all have roles to…
Something has to change but I don't know yet I've been unmotivated to do more here or in noise. I will visit here but just for a few minutes and then leave. There are topics to write but I can't seem expand to on those. I haven't been able to post daily. I comfort myself to the fact that I can do it later. Anyway, here goes another random post for the weekend. ****Walk with me**** I was unable to do my walk/jog that much this week because of the stormy weather we had. That…
When it rains... JRamona20 wrote about her memories about rain. https://read.cash/@JRamona20/the-rainy-days-acd0c34f Just because we are in the tropics does not mean we don't have four seasons too. They are wet, very wet, dry and very dry :D Those can be probably experienced in our country at the same time, not in one place of course but different places in the country have different weather. Storms in the tropics are called typhoons and these can be cyclone or hurricane.…
Inayan! One word to rule them all Inayan is a common expression that you will hear here in the mountains of the Cordilleras. A single three-syllable word (i-na-yan) that sums up the golden rule and that also includes nature, human and animals. This is already in our veins, part of our culture that should always be nurtured, remembered and applied. We say "Inayan" to warn others not to do bad or evil, to respect others and nature too. This is to remind us to be mindful of our…
Good jab? Maybe. **Sundate with friends** The lead image is the dog of my friend that she brought along with her when we decided to go for sunrise viewing last Sunday. However, it was an overcast morning and no sun appeared. We watched as the day becomes brighter by the minute but the sun decided to just hide behind the clouds. We then decided to go for a breakfast somewhere. I saw these cookies displayed at the restaurant that we went to. It was very tempting to buy some.…
Blocked. Unfriend. Do not support. Wait, there's more. Cursing. Speaking ill of others. Bash. The list could go on and on. These are what's happening now online and in real life. Much more so because the election is nearing here in our country. The presidential and vice presidential elections will be held next year, May 9. A lot of articles, comments and posts are circulating online discrediting one another or giving proof about each other's credentials. It's a fault-finding…
The greasy, the black, the heavy, the tall, the copycat, the runner Let me tell you about these characters. I haven't encountered them. I only got to know about them through others. However, of all those mentioned above, it was the runner that I met. A little back story. 1990. It was in the middle of July. One normal afternoon, we were in school then back when I was in grade school. Our class was already over and me and some kids whose classes were also done were playing…
