Moving on This is a screenshot of my progress in Hive in terms of powering up. I was able to do three consecutive power up days and this is my third month. I have been in Hive for four years but I haven't been active from the start. I believe it was only this year that I decided to be active there. Not fully immersed but at least posting regularly and interacting with others. This is my second month to join the power up month. There are other badges to be earned there in…

Love, revel bars and Jerry My improvised door block. When we moved here in our apartment, we didn't have issues right away other than the adjustment. I didn't even notice the gaping hole under our main door. It was not until weeks later or probably even a month or so that when it rained, wind is blowing under the door. Maybe it was the error in measuring the door when they installed it for there was a distance of about an inch at its widest then gradually tapers down. I then…

Amidst the storm I mentioned in my previous blog that I will be meeting with a friend from another province. Despite the heavy rainfall we are experiencing which I warned them about, they still pursued to come as a family. She has her reasons which made me understand even more the "need" to do the trip else they will not have that chance to visit the city as a family. We kept updating each other where they are and where they will be going next. This is in anticipation to…

Be a disciplined and responsible traveler Here in the Philippines, we have a public transportation called jeepney or simply jeep. The invention of this transportation was from Willys Jeeps that were once the mode of transportation brought about by Americans during their occupation here. When the war ended and their rule was over, these jeeps were left behind. According to some sources online, Leonardo Sarao was the inventor of jeepneys. The jeeps left by the Americans were…

A reminder: Life is short. Live it. If it was not for bjmc98's post, I wouldn't have known that @Pachuchay is in critical condition. As some of you know, she is suffering from medical condition/s. I haven't had the chance to interact with her since I got busy with Hive. I don't see her active as well in some of the comments from other users here. After a long time, I was able to log in to my noise account because of that and to make a post there just a short info about her…

A morning like no other I heard voices in my dream-like state. I thought it was part of the dream but then it's becoming louder and clearer and constant. It wasn't a dream. I then opened my eyes and lifted my head to the sound of the voices to find my landlady and her son working on our computer. I don't know what they were doing but they were there and they seem to be serious with their task. They saw me woke up and they just smiled at me then went back to whatever they are…

Rainy, Baguio, Night, Coffee, Weather So this is the result of the prompts rainy, Baguio, lazy that I used for Midjourney. Thanks to @Pichi28 who posted about Midjourney. I have been meaning to use that too when I read her post. https://www.midjourney.com/home/ I'm getting head of myself. This is the complete choices that Midjourney gave me when I typed the prompts above. https://www.midjourney.com/home/ It does look like Baguio but still not Baguio. Houses on the mountains,…

Okay, so here goes something. Thanks to @Pantera, I have come to know about the new noise. So far, I have been only following familiar faces and I like that the people that it suggests for me to follow. Here's to new beginnings and hopefully long lasting greatness. Cheers!

When you don't have anything to write, write! Half effort is better than none, right? So here goes another late night random writing on my part. I have been away from Hive for two days now because I just don't have any energy left. That or I don't have the motivation. What I like about read is that I can freely write anything. Well, you can do that still in Hive but it's more catered there to certain communities. You have to be more particular there. At least that's how I…

Take time to be alone Being alone is not being sad or lonely so there is no harm if you take time to be by yourself and think about things. Take time to be alone because that is how you find peace and time for yourself. I came across this video online where a guy approached a lady all alone. The guy then asked the lady if she could hold the flowers he was holding, to which the lady readily did, so that the guy can tie his shoelaces. When he was done, he said to the lady to…

Day and night - Harrison Road. I took the photo on the left during one of my morning walks. After a long time, I have been able to do that and I haven't had the stamina as I used to have then. That's how long it was since the last long walk I had. The one on the right was taken last night when we decided to check out the night market specifically the street food area. I was a bit disappointed. There was not much of variation of food sold there. We didn't even stay long to…

I can go for long walks but waiting drains me more I have been sharing with you that I can go for long walks, however, waiting drains the energy out of me more. Banks. Yup. I'm talking about banks. Those institutions where you put your money into. I don't know how it is in your country, but here in the Philippines, doing business with the bank can be a nightmare. Why? Because of the waiting time. A mere update on your account will take hours at most. Last Saturday, I was out…
@ARTicLEE
Sorry, but I can't trust you This is related to my post yesterday. If you haven't read it yet, it's about me losing my ATM card. At least, that's my initial thought. I withdrew from one of the machines in one of my bank's branches in the city. When I re-inserted my card to inquire about my balance, the machine couldn't read it but it didn't eject the card. Usually when that happens, it will eject it right away. That time, it took longer than usual so I concluded it was…

Make a happy ending I got this prompt from **Kacy01****.** Check it out here If you love prompt... https://read.cash/@Kacy01 https://read.cash/@Kacy01/if-you-love-prompt-1fff4850 Now the prompt I think I have answered some of these already or maybe all of it but I can't recall lol! I do like eating out. It saves me time so I find it convenient. I find places that are within my budget of course. Of course, home-made meals are undeniably less expensive and you can choose to…

The procrastination trap I forgot where I read this but I'll try to give a summary of what I can recall. I'd like to relate that to my experience with the bank. Yes, I'm not done with that yet lol! A guy noticed that one of the windows in their house was broken. A lot of scenarios played in his mind. Upon initial inspection, he thinks that it needs an expert to do it. Thus, he contacted some contractors asking for an estimate and he was given a quote. He kept pushing back on…

I can eat pinakbet every day, twice! I was tagged by @Amjad_Ali_Waince in his post Vigilant Questionnaire & My Response!! In that post are questions that I will answer here in this post as well https://read.cash/@Amjad_Ali_Waince/vigilant-questionnaire-my-response-d7a0ac8a So let's get on with it.

Drip like the coffee drips I have been vacillating between watching things online and checking out posts from you guys while at the same time thinking of what post to write. Jane wrote about helping other when we can. Do it willingly. Don't give too much though. Remember to help yourself first before you can help others. Emily talked about house hunting. I am in the market too, not for me but for my brother. Oh! A song came to mind that I want to listen to. I then went to…

Sunday diary This weekend, we did nothing but stayed in. My partner has not been in the best of condition but feeling better now so one more week of total rest will hopefully seal that. They had to report to the office last week for their bosses from the US came to pay them a visit. Aside from work, they were able to do some outreach and shared to the community. It was a 3-day full-packed time for them. I think that took its toll on most of them. They only report to the…

Lights on or off and other questions Another unplanned post for me today. I have been having this uncomfortable headache when I woke up today. It started on the front of my headache and now it's radiating to the temporal side. While the pain is tolerable, it's incessantly throbbing. I decided not to do anything online again. Rest is valuable. It's the start of another work week so it's a must to ready oneself to be able to get through. Whenever I feel this kind of headache,…

If only it is that easy to make our dreams come true I came across this writing prompt in another platform so I thought of giving it a try. It's actually a contest where you post a minimum of three photos and talk about it. Make a story about it. This is to encourage being original. Well, that is what we all aim for, isn't it? We should aim to be original always in every platform that we are in like here in read. What I like about photography is that you can be creative with…

What, Who, How for Wednesday We are now in the middle of the week. How is your week so far? I have read some of your Wednesday posts. From what I have read so far, things are going okay. It may not be great but that's okay. We are surviving. We are hear. We are moving on. We all know that things don't always go the way we want it to be but we are the masters of our own ships and we are riding the wave, staying above it all. We have a lot on our plates but we are doing it.…

Getting lost in The Lost Symbol It was a whole day of power interruption for us today. It started early too, a few minutes past 5:00 a.m. and was restored around 4:00 p.m. I did plan on going for a walk but the weather just didn't agree so what better way to spend the day but to read a book. Luckily, there is a book in my brother's room that he left. I mean a novel, a fiction by Dan Brown. There are other books about engineering but that is beyond my mental grasp lol! Have…

Start and end each day with a positive note Sometimes we don't know what to write but there are also times that you are filled so many ideas you don't know where to start. I saw a 30-day writing challenge again and that gave me an idea what to write. I was planning on merging that with another challenge but then I can't come up with the right way to do it so I had to abandon that idea for now. Getting on with random stuff again here. I mentioned yesterday about the book I…

Finally, sunset! Not that I haven't had experienced sunset but after weeks of rain, gloom, wet and cold, to see the sunset once again is a welcome. You may familiar with this place for I have posted this several time already. This is a view from a friend's cafe. The lead image I used is taken from here as well. I was trying the trick of using a phone as a mirror, to hopefully create that water illusion. I have yet to keep practicing with that for I can't figure out the way…

Ten things are not enough There are so many things in life that can make us happy. It can be from small things to significant ones and that depends on one's perception. Remember the saying one man's trash and another one's treasure. **Availability** This can be for myself, with others or with God. It is fulfilling when I have done some work or commune with God or spent some a moment with friends and family. Time spent with our loved ones, with things that matter to us is…

Last Request I can't remember when was the first time I have heard about Paolo Nutini but it was a video shared by someone in social media and glad that I clicked. I kind of trusted his choices of songs anyway for it was through him that I got to like Mumford & Sons. This is the official vide of the song of Paolo Nutini called Last Request. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkA4xcIAvuw Although I like this video, I do like him singing it live. It seems every time he sings this…

Tuesday thoughts I mentioned in my other blog that I started another 30-day writing challenge from Micontingsabit. You can read her article about that here. https://read.cash/@Micontingsabit/dark-084e475a **Words** We all know that words can be a powerful thing. It can make you or hurt more than physical pain. Verbal abuse. Praise and comfort. Even a simple "hi" can mean a lot. Two letters, one word. I guess in a way I am thankful that my memory retention and recall is not…

We all have something to say I have been reading about these set of questions from others here. I felt that I have already answered these in my previous posts that's why I wasn't that interested but upon reading Ruffa's post earlier, it gave me the motivation to write mine too. She also posted there the link for the completed set of questions. Upon checking it, there were a lot! So for now, let's just answer some of them.…

The second door on the right As a frustrated accountant, it's hard to find a decent job related to that. I'm not complaining though. I dislike math, nay, I abhor math! They say Asians are math geniuses. Whoever penned that idea haven't met all Asians. I am Asian but I am not good in math. Accountancy was the most appealing course at the time I enrolled that's why I took it. Never finished it though. It only took me two years before I decided to quit. It's not for me. Still,…

End of September thoughts Here we go again. It's now the end of the month. Just a few hours more and we can now say Wake me up when September ends. As some of you know, one of our clients just left us because of retirement. I think "retire" should not be used to people. How about a better term for it like, I don't know, restage or repurpose? lol! Why should we have to get (re) tired again? English language can be funny sometimes. Anyway, when I have learned that he will be…
