Can we benefit from BCH? So this goes my earnings for this month here in read.cash. I would have wanted to write a post using the titles like what Jane had been doing. Maybe next time. I have been active here in this platform more so that I had been the previous months. I have earned a total of $219.43 for 28 articles. I thought I had written more but turns out I missed three days. Anyway, that's more than double from last month wherein I wrote 16 articles. This month I…

You can't trust me with your money. Today I lost USD19.41 I was checking my actifit report that I just finished writing when suddenly my laptop turned off. I have mentioned before that I had the battery replaced twice because of issues not working properly. It was due to my improper use of laptop that's why. Now I have learned my lesson and I had to be mindful of the battery level. I charge it before it reaches 20% which is around 30-35% and to unplug the charger once it…
Back at P&F Estacion de Cafe We went back to one of my favorite cafes in the city. This is P&F Estaction de Cafe. We have been planning this week when to go back there. https://www.facebook.com/PF-Estacion-De-Cafe-101407341734949?comment_id=Y29tbWVudDoxMDE1OTU3MzE3ODk3Nzg1MF8xMDE1OTU3MzE4MTM0Mjg1MA%3D%3D Last January, a friend who advocates for dogs sold vouchers to be used here in this cafe. Some of the proceeds of that will go to the fund that will be used for rescues like…
What can you do in 5 minutes? **It was time. She'd fought against it for so long.** She began to sweat. She began to shiver. It was uncomfortable. She was in a meeting with some colleagues and the man in front of her was someone she really liked. Tall, handsome, dark. A Colgate smile. Perfect white pearls. So bright and white it lights a room. As if his face alone is not enough. She can't concentrate on what was being discussed. She tried to divert her attention to the…
We are at war! I have been reading a lot of articles and in general, what have been written so far are in essence related to time and those are not even made for the prompt. Some wrote about loss - loved ones, opportunities, weight, profit loss from investments, losing team, lost time with families and friends, relationships, etc. There were also those who wrote about goals, successes and achievements. Even those take time. They don't happen overnight. We have to be patient…
You get what you deserve So bbyblacksheep wrote about receiving rewards from customers. You can read more about that here. https://read.cash/@bbyblacksheep/reward-a1ffe41c I'm trying to remember if I ever received a t!p when I was working in customer service. I haven't had an extensive employment but I did work in a fast food and a department store. Nope. I'm pretty sure I haven't received any t!p from any customers when I worked in those companies. Maybe if I can recall…
Easy on the gas! We all know that because of the war between Ukraine and Russia, price of oil has spiked which in turn affected the prices of other commodities especially basic needs like food. However, that is not what I want to talk about. I meant about taking your foot off the gas or the pedal – meaning taking it easy. I was doing my tasks today when I came across the term “foot off the gas.” When you drive a car and you want to go faster, your step on the accelerator…
When practicality and smart buying strike A cousin of ours asked me to order for him cases for his phone. He was browsing online and came across this shop in Shopee. He is fond of anime and decided on Naruto-themed phone cases. The shop has other anime character designs you can choose from not just Naruto. He then sent me a link so I checked it right away. From the original price of PHP213.00 (USD4.13), it marked down to PHP98.00 (USD1.90). That is a huge saving indeed. From…
Breakfast, Rain and Alice: Worried for nothing Last week, we told a friend (Friend A) of ours that we had breakfast buffet at Hoka Brew. She said that she had been meaning to go there for she had checked it out but was unable to for there are other important things that time that needs to be done. Every time she was in that area, it was just the wrong time. A couple of days ago, we decided to eat there and scheduled it for today. However, my partner suggested another place…
No to monkey for now Monkey bars that is. Yesterday, I brought my nephews to the communal forest. It's the start of a week long vacation for them. This week they don't have any classes in observance of Holy Week. We don't practice in such for we belong in a different religion. However, kids are happy that there are no classes. I wanted to take the opportunity to do it in the morning because it rains early here. Just before lunchtime, the sky gets dark with 100% chance of…
Let's take 5 I saw these questions in Jane's article which she read from Pachuchay and was actually started by Usagi. You can read Jane's article here. https://read.cash/@Jane/what-am-i-grateful-for-saved-by-the-prompt-60636e8e Here are the questions. *What kind of day did you have?* *If you could change one thing about your behavior today, what would it be?* *Did you accomplish what you wanted to do today?* *What made you smile today and why?* *What are five things you are…
Trying to remember those days I have come across these questions from other users but it is only now that I have the chance to write about it when I read the article of momentswithmatti. You can check her post here. https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/before-i-die-i-desire-to-be-leave-memories-to-cherish-forever-60d8f883 So these are the questions: ****Flashback to a childhood memory.**** Princessbusayo wrote about her typing experience and about Mavis Beacon.

Black pen and black coffee These are the questions that was posted by BCH_LOVER which came from joydigitalsolutions. I have seen this answered by some as well so here goes my take on it. ***Do you prefer writing with black or blue pen?*** I go with black. It's still the formal and universally accepted color of pen to be used anyway. I use blue pen if there is no black available, however. As much as possible, I go for black. ***Would you prefer to live in the country or the…
It was not intentional I was not supposed to go visit our parent's house today. That was supposed to have happened yesterday but then I was unable to since I got caught up with work and other stuff. Earlier today, I found myself having free time so I decided to go home. No more excuses. I was able to finish my task early thankfully. Also, the weather looks it's going to hold. (Now I just remember that I left the umbrella that I brought with me when I left our apartment.…
Sucment! This is part two of a series of questions that I started answering. Here is the first part. I have yet to read your comments there since as you most know I am late in reading my comments but now I am only days behind unlike before that it was months lol! https://read.cash/@ARTicLEE/black-pen-and-black-coffee-0422d842 Without further ado, let's get it on. **Do you like ice in your drinks?** That depends on the kind of drink and the weather. If it is alcoholic…
Are you lost? Yes, you are! Some of my brothers and company went to Baler, Aurora a couple of days ago. I was just thinking about them and was about to message them to bring home some rice delicacies or whatever and voila! The door opened and there at the door was my brother with a box of ube/cassava cake. "Pasalubong" is a gift from someone who has returned from a trip. It could be in a form of souvenir or food. Whenever we have a chance to go on a trip, we always buy food…
Age is just a number JustMaryel answered these questions in her article. You can read it here. She saw that published by Probinsyana. https://read.cash/@JustMaryel/ive-been-hurt-in-dumbest-way-d6d95f37#what-is-the-dumbest-way-you039ve-been-hurt I took the liberty to answer them too. Feel free to do it too :D So let's get on with the questions. **What is the dumbest way you've been hurt?** I read about TheGuy's article regarding scamming and this reminded me back then when I…
The power is back! Twice yesterday afternoon, the power went out. The first time, it didn't last that long. Maybe a few minutes. Then it went out again the second time and that took longer although not more than an hour. Checking the page of the electric company, they did some repairs. I think the first one was a warning and then the second time the power went out was when they finally did the repair needed. Funny thing when I checked their post, it said Thursday, April 15,…
So far so good Finally got it. This was the phone case I ordered for my cousin. I was expecting it later this week but it already arrived today in good condition. The items were like silicone or rubber material. I'm not certain. The print/design was not painted. How do I describe it? It's like embossed in the material itself for it does not peel off or cannot be scratched. We were supposed to go out early for a walk in one of the trails that we like to go but then I received…
An empty wallet Khairro posted these questions in his article. You can read about that here. You can answer them too and make a post of your own. That way we get to know each other better. https://read.cash/@Khairro/nothing-to-write-then-answer-this-695e68b8 ***If you had a pen and paper what's the first thing you would draw?*** My late maternal grandfather. Right know he is in my thoughts for his last child and family are home for a month to finally have his remains…
Tired but feel blessed to be alive I was not able to be here that much yesterday for I had to go see my aunt and her family. I have been mentioning that they have come home for the sake of our grandfather's burial. A service will be held today and tomorrow. That will be another reason that I will not be here tomorrow. Yesterday, we had to buy the needed materials to build where we would place our lolo's remains. He had been cremated last January and his ashes were in an urn.…
It's time to SWEAT it out! *****Before anything else, note that all photos used in this post were taken from my***** *****Sweatcoin app**********.***** https://sweatco.in/app/race/leeart/201 I opened my Sweatcoin app earlier and saw these notifications pop up. Apparently, Sweatcoin has joined the crypto wagon and released their own token called SWEAT. https://sweatco.in/app/race/leeart/201 There is no specific date yet as when is the launching but early users are being given…
Final goodbye. The inevitable. What can I say? Nothing lasts forever except "nothing." Change is constant and with change comes the end of things - for this matter, life. Seeing the remains of our grandfather placed in his tomb it's like mourning him for the second time. For the last time, a service was held earlier today, a service of comfort for the family. It's an emotional day. I was trying to hold back tears and trying to keep it in. We were joking and laughing…
The rain brought hail *****Control your emotions***** It seems the heavens is releasing its emotions today just like what happened earlier. I again went to my grandparents' house to be with family. Everything went well until after lunch when the children of our grandparents gathered and discussed things. Then emotions ran high and discussions got heated. Frustrations were vented out. It is quite normal at a stressful time that we can't control our emotions. We hold grudges…
To have a peaceful mind This is part two of Khairro's questions that he posted some days ago. I have already answered the first part and posted that. Now here is the second. You can check out the complete set of questions here. https://read.cash/@Khairro/nothing-to-write-then-answer-this-final-part-af93ecc1 ***What city you can see yourself living in?*** Still it's the city I'm in - Baguio City. It's not perfect but it's home. There's no place like home not unless it's not…
Is it too early for this? I've been reading these questions posted by others. Let me try to explore my spooky and murderous mind if there is. Note that these are just for entertainment purposes only. Let's start. *****Have you ever said Bloody Mary in front of a mirror?***** I may have. I'm really not sure. What I'm sure about is that I have heard, read and/or watched about this when I was younger and naturally, out of curiosity, I may have done it. Nothing happened for it…
Kingdom of Fog and Light In the kingdom of fog and light live the joyous and happiest people on earth. It’s a magical place one could never imagine existed. It is between the where the sun rises and where the mist and fog meet. You only get to see this kingdom at the right moment. Like in a dream, when you see it, you will soon forget all about it. It only lasts as long as the light and fog meet. Anyone can go there. How do you get there you may ask. It is through your mind.…
A glimpse of Bulanao, Tabuk City It's so good to be back here Bulanao, Tabuk City in the province of Kalinga. I have not been here for a long time and I believe it was less than 20 decades ago since the last time I was here. During the few visits that I had back then, I have never been to the market of Bulanao. The photo above was taken during our early visit to the market after coming from a sunrise viewing. Me and my good friend would spend some weekends at their place in…
Fear, Explosion, Coffee When is too much, too much? Coffee is part of life of most people but I didn't realize it is most commonly seen in the Cordilleras. This was particularly so when we went to Mountain Province and in Kalinga. Most of the places there are hot not like what we are used to in Benguet and Baguio City. I thought I was a coffee addict but I'm guess I'm not. Apparently, coffee is offered and served to visitors anytime of the day be it morning or during the…
A visit to Bulanao Public Market For more about our visit in Tabuk City, you can check it here. https://read.cash/@ARTicLEE/a-glimpse-of-bulanao-tabuk-city-b045361d From Mt. Talama where we had a view of the sunrise, we headed to the shop of my brother's schoolmate. Unfortunately, there was a death in the family so she had to go back home where her family is. We had coffee and donuts. I was pleased that their coffee is drip coffee and it is locally sourced. I was asking my…
Lie, cheat, cry but most of all take risks or not. I read this from Amaranth97's post. You can read that here.

I lie to save my ass. I lie to get out of a situation. I lie just to finish a conversation. I lie so I can avoid people. I also lie to prank others. I used to be very sarcastic and…
Thankful for April showers Here goes my earnings for this month here in read. I had a total earnings of worth USD212.20 with an average of USD6.85 per article. I was able to write 31 articles. There are times that I wrote two articles a day. As you know, I wanted to meet the 365 articles in a year. I started late since the first few months I have not been that active. That's why I am playing catch up. I should have written more. However, I was not able to write for three…
