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,…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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.

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Why did the chicken cross the road? I was out for a walk earlier today because there were no tasks for me again. These days, tasks are not that plenty. For someone who is no work, no pay, that is not good news. However, it does give me more time to be out and have my walk so it's still a win-win situation. The photo on the right was taken in one of my routes. This rooster was heading straight towards me warily and so was I. I am ready for whatever sudden movement it will do.…
When power is out, I go out I always feel like I am sharing a lot with you here but at the same time sharing nothing lol! So here's another free write. I already planned not writing a post today. It's the penultimate day before the month of March ends and I was planning on having a rest of some sort from read and spend more time in noise. However, every time I post there, either I would encounter error about the wallet and sending tips or my internet slows down. I have read…
Photoblog: Ride to Eat When me and my partner met with a friend to go find one of the best places in town that serves great tasting chicken, we failed to try how best is that chicken is. Instead, we headed to another restaurant. I thought we can walk to get there but it was less than a kilometer away so we had to take a ride. I for one was willing to walk though but I didn't. It was a hot day. As we are nearing the place, it became clear to me that it was the former Takai…
Doing my laundry gives me 6-7k movement count According to WHO, the required number of steps a day is 10,000 steps to keep oneself fit. Read here. That is my whenever I go for a walk or a jog. I try to do more than 10k steps. https://www.healthline.com/health/how-many-steps-a-day#How-many-steps-should-you-take-a-day? With Actifit though, it measures the number of your moves. Every time I do my laundry, I can make 6,000 to 7,000 moves. I do my laundry manually. No washing…
Above all, paintings from my fave local artist Should I start with a rant? Let me start by saying it was a hot today. No problem for we had ice cream when we got home and a cold shower. So many people. Traffic is slow. Never mind that. Just enjoy what you can enjoy instead. So, I'd rather not talk about that. My partner and I decided to eat out for lunch. We were so tired from the amount of walking that we had yesterday that we decided put on hold hunting apartments. We took…
Found two that looks promising I have mentioned that we are apartment hunting. We are looking for a new place to move in to since our upstairs neighbor makes lots of noises that is disturbing us and disrupting our sleep adding to the noise from the outside world made by humans and animals alike. We prepared not even the sun was up. First thing I did was plug my phone to charge. We planned on going out around 6:00 a.m. or so. That way we can cover a lot of areas. We just…
Free day Friday: A little bit of some things I received the USD3.00 reward I earned from CURRENT. To those who don't know about that yet, it's an app that you can earn just by playing music. You get to earn points every time you listen to the app. Other ways to earn points is by playing games, answering surveys, watching ads, etc. Now I am currently aiming for USD6.00 reward.…
I wish I didn't read that But then again I'm glad that I did so I can have something to write about today. I was planning on not reading it already for usually in order for me to read as much, I allot reading one article per person per day. With all the number of users that we have here in read, it's a challenge to read as many as we can. That's why one article per person a day is reasonable. So what was the article about? Here you can check out what ArteFM wrote about weird…
Of honesty and almost accident Not only that but also a quick walk in spite of the heat but now enjoying the coolness brought about by the rain. ****How honest can you be?**** I rode a jeepney on my way to town. Jeepney is one of the major transportation here in the our country. I was seated behind the driver and when you do sit there you have been designated as the one who will hand over the fare of passengers to the driver as well as hand to the passengers their change if…
PHOTOBLOG: Chat and Brew I mentioned the other day that after failing our apartment hunting, we had our lunch at a new place in the neighborhood. Chat and Brew is co-owned by a friend. I saw him posting about it one time. I was curious why would he do that for he never promotes stuff like that. I then asked him about it if he owned it and he confirmed so I jokingly asked him to take me there and have coffee. He doesn't work and live here in the city but they do have a family…
Quick walk in town: A Day in a Life I'm just done with my indoor exercises, walking/jogging/sprinting to and fro inside our unit and doing some jumping jacks. This is to fill the steps needed to meet the 10k steps. I made it to 12k steps! Wohoo! I didn't think I can do that. Earlier today I went out to claim my order from a friend who sells stuff online. I finally was able to secure a glass container with cover. That is useful for leftovers. We are fond of eating meat and…
Black Crab, apartment and other things Second day of apartment hunting and no luck. I mentioned in my previous post that we are in search of a new place to stay because our neighbors are becoming unpleasant especially the one above us. I don't know how this building was made but a lot of sound created by those occupants above us can often be heard all throughout the day. Sounds like movement of chairs being dragged, hammering of whatever, falling objects, a thud even loud…
