Onwards to a bountiful year of the Water Tiger The Chinese has a name for everything and as an Asian country, we are influenced by them. This year is the year of the Water Tiger. I'm not going to talk about that though but rather what happened the previous days. New Year's eve before finally heading back home, I walked around our town and went to see how did the town prepare for the holidays. The photo on the left is one of the churches here near the provincial capitol. St.…
Tried beers at Craft 1945 While waiting for our friends for a meet up, me and my partner went to Craft 1945 where they serve craft beers. There are three places here in our city that serves craft beers that I know of and this is the last place that we haven't been to. The other two are Baguio Craft Brewery and Hoka Brew. https://steemit.com/tasteem/@leeart/tasteem-48e52f https://steemit.com/beersaturday/@leeart/beers-at-hoka-brew-the-podium-boutique-hotel-rbqpdpws I am not…
What walking has done for me last year I have been mentioning about Sweatcoin app here and in noise. This is just one of the apps that I use to measure my steps when I am out walking/jogging. What I like is the comprehensive summary feature that it has. I haven't been as active last year. There were only some months that I did a lot of walking. I know I could have done some indoor exercises but the laziness got the best of me. I would like to share my achievements here just…
Here's another update from another platform I just checked my email and saw an email from Binance regarding a summary of sort about how I fared last year in Binance. For those who have a Binance account, I'm sure you have received a notice too. I don't trade there though. I just use the features of P2P, Earn and Launchpad. I thought I was going to see those included in the summary but I was disappointed. All photos here were screen captured from Binance website except for…
Christmas is not over and other ramblings In some parts of the world, Christmas is celebrated January 7 as per the Julian calendar. Source https://nationaltoday.com/orthodox-christmas-day/#:~:text=Orthodox%20Christmas%20day%20occurs%20every,that%20changed%20the%20calendar%20year. I guess that is the reason why Christmas decorations are still up or was it because we are too lazy to take them down? Have you taken down your Christmas trees? If not, when do you plan to take it…
Not hungry at Hungry Krabzz When my partner and I with some friends went to a cafe last time, there is a restaurant beside that we wanted to check next time and that next time was yesterday. Weekends were lazy days as it always turn out to be so we decided to check out that restaurant. When we were there with friends, we checked out their menu and it looks like worth trying and it didn't disappoint. Since we couldn't think of what to cook for lunch, we then headed on to…
Tuesday Toss-up (No-photo blog) I like writing random stuff as it is easier for me to do it. Writing without a photo other than the lead image is kind of no pressure too. I read a lot of you writing about having a hard time writing or not knowing what to write, feeling lazy, feeling like your brain is not working. News flash: WE ALL GET THAT AND IT'S OKAY. You don't have to apologize for it. Write random stuff and you will feel better. I am a coffee drinker and one cup is…
Bunny cafe that I don't know where momentswithmatti together with her husband and Matti of course, brought me to a cafe where the couple have been before. So there we were. Suddenly I found myself at the cafe. momentswithmatti was telling me that there are cute bunnies inside and that is where you get to see the owners too. I can't properly describe how small or how big the cafe is. There were maybe 3-4 tables in the dining area enclosed in red wooden wall. There is also a…
Where does some extra coins go? I am still reading the comments and replying on this article of mine that I wrote three months ago. Yes. Three months ago. That is how far back I go. I have been telling you that I may not reply to your comments right away but I make sure to read them. Some commenters there have not written new article since. I wish they will come back and write again. https://read.cash/@ARTicLEE/the-other-savings-php50-is-worthless-aa582c94 That's why don't…
What is meant to happen will happen I come bearing bad news. My dad slipped and fell and hurt himself. We didn't expect it to be that bad but he had to be hospitalized and undergo the necessary tests. One of my sisters went to see him and brought him to the emergency room not realizing that she will be stuck there and not allowed to go out anymore. When you go to the hospital, you will be tested for COVID and placed in isolation while waiting for the result. So far, our dad…
Time for Toss up Tuesday (more like an update on yesterday's blog) I was supposed to go out to search for nebulizer that my grandpa will use. I know he has a machine before but nobody knows where it went. He stayed last with one of my aunts but we are still waiting for her reply if the machine was left there. It had been months since the last time he used one. The past few days had been one of his worst days but I just got off a video call with my mom and she told me that he…
My Januarys with family and friends Last year, it was my first time to visit a friend's cafe and we have been going back there a lot of times since then. It was located in a perfect spot where you can watch great sunsets if the sky cooperates. Almost every time we go there, we are the ones closing the shop for we always go late save the times that we go there in the morning but I think we only did that once. We have tried almost all that is in their menu - pasta, burger,…
"Wait for me." "Wait for me." Your silence is what I always remember. You and grandma would go about your day in silence most of the time, a comfortable silence. I remember sleeping in between you two when I was a kid. Early to bed and early to rise. You gave me freedom but also reminded me of things I should not do. We didn't have a lot. You don't shower me with gifts. You are not materialistic but I have always felt rich and blessed with the freedom you give me, better…
And now, the end is near I overheard My Way by Frank Sinatra played by one of the neighbors. The song permeates the early morning air warming the atmosphere together with the bright sun. It made me realize that January is about the end. How fast time flies. With all the events that transpired this month, it felt like I am halfway the year already. I'm still in denial of the fact that a lot happened so fast in a span of weeks. It seems life events age you, maybe not…
The things you leave behind Of all the years I have been on this earth, I still don't know what my purpose is. I do admire those who have figured out what they wanted to be from the start, did something about and achieved it. I am still treading my way through this life going with the flow not really figuring out what is my true purpose. Do you feel the same way? I understand if you are still young and in school. There are still a lot of things out there in store for you so…
