Where conscience lead? "*There is good in evil and there is evil in good*." A 5-year old me can not fathom what my mother was blabbering about this good and evil things, all I know at that time was it is good to obey your parent and bad to speak untruthfully. God will reward good deeds with good treats then punish naughty children. 2022. I'm on verge of giving up. Everything around me do not inspire me anymore. It is so exhausting to just exist. Of all people, why me Father? It drains me much that I can not even complaint or cry. Some times I ask if is this really my fate of maybe God have not forgiven me for stealing my classmate's candy in third grade. But I did asked for forgiveness, didn't I? I am innocent and young at the time. "... *but you understand and know that it is not right. You pursued because nobody was watching*." says my inner conscience. Truth be told. Now I realized I am just sorry if I get caught, if not then secrets won't uncover itself. Or not? We are only human. Can be tempted, shattered, worship, build. Even the purest nun can commit sin. Even the most smartest person have dull moments. Even the most ignorant knows something that Einstein don't. You are human, so be a human. Life is already hard, so don't make it harder for yourself or the people around you. Be kind. Be truthful. Be compassionate. You will be rewarded.

Good night everyone!

Can't think of any content

I really hope I can get back to writing as soon as possible.

I'm so tired today cleaning and fixing stuffs. At least, we are almost done! Maybe tomorrow or the next day, our renovation and rearrangement here will be completed ♥

Thank you so much for the support, motivation and words to make me feel better guys! I'm so glad I found this family (Read.cash community). It has been rough for me but people around me always see to it that I will rise up stronger and braver than before. Reading your comments brightened up a part of me ♥ I really, really appreciate it guys! Thank you so much! https://read.cash/@Ace/alcohol-ruined-me-96c66eea

I've been very busy thee past few days. I got no time checking the site... I think I missed a lot of infos and possible interaction/s for today. I thought about lots of topics earlier but don't have spare time to write about it. Now, it all slipped out of my head. Ugh!

Ever wonder what if cryptocurrency was never initiated or introduced?

It has been days but I can hardly think of any topic to write on. I wanted to publish because I missed reading comments or having interactions with you guys. Topic's the only thing I'm missing.

The new Read.cash interface is so amazing! I love reading reactions or posts from different users pertaining the current changes. These past days, I wasn't able to visit or stay in this site because I became very busy fixing stuffs at home... But now, I'm back! I started by exploring the site for me to be able to see it myself and yep! the feedbacks were all true. A hundred thumbs-up to the very diligent, compassionate, and creative team behind this successful upgrades. Kudos Read.cash! #AmazingReadCash #ReadCashForTheWin

Reaction to Point System Update by read.cash Couple of hours ago, read.cash officially announced major changes in its point system, and it's now called “The Random Rewarder”. *(If you haven't read it yet, better check it out first before reading this article. Click* *here**.)* https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/the-random-rewarder-fa56be9b#comment-afa71c7a Great deal of previous patterns were evaluated and reconstructed with the objectives of producing "**quality content only**" that are interesting, informative, relevant and pleasant to both the website interface and its user. Nonsensical publishing of articles just for the sake of gaining points were rampant before the major update inaugurated. It's a shame for those writers who think critically, polish their works, and includes only facts and information out of deep research on the topics. Moreover, spamming in the comment section without even reading or knowing the thought of the article really bothers me. I encountered it a lot of times. There's this user that always adds crappy comments that don't even describe even an inch of the emotion in my article. It's a real eyesore to the writers like me who experiences the same thing. Just imagine putting your heart in working on your article then later publishes it expecting some words of appreciation and motivational comments from your readers then suddenly the notification bell turned red; it excites you big time that you can’t wait to check it only to find out it’s a spam that contains rubbish or worst, just a copy-pasted excerpt from your article! Upon reading the proposed changes in the point system, I was like "Finally! Number of users here who's only after the rewards or the "*quantity over quality*-types" will be forced to change their ways or better, leave the website!" I believe this is so far the best update from read.cash! Now, the and trickster in this site will be left without any openings. Ha ha, good for them. https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/the-random-rewarder-fa56be9b#comment-afa71c7a To the developer team of read.cash, job well done and Kudos! You never fail to cease our expectations. You always introduce new and better things in this platform, i can't be any proud. I really can't wait to see and witness more from you. Thank you for coming up with these ideas, we will continue supporting your propagandas following each rules implemented by this system.

No bake, home-made Pizza In my previous article entitled "A Day in My Life: Entry #1", I mentioned that me and my mom cooked pizza for our afternoon snack. I know most of us loves pizza, right? It's delicious and appetizing! So, I decided to share the recipe here so that you can try it as well. We originally saw the dough recipe online so we just followed it. As for the sauce and toppings, we innovated our own based on our preference. https://read.cash/@Ace/a-day-in-my-life-entry-1-7ffd7d99 **Ingredients:** ***Dough*** 2 cups All-purpose flour ¾  cup warm water 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast ( 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon olive oil ***Sauce*** 1 can/pouch tomato paste (90-120 mL) 1 can/pouch tomato sauce (200-300 mL) 1/2 cup evaporated milk 6 to 8 pieces fresh, ripe tomatoes (thinly sliced) 3 to 4 pieces fresh, red bell pepper (chopped) 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoon cooking oil ***Toppings****: You can choose your own pizza toppings and flavor. I will list down some toppings idea here so that you can match and pick base on your liking☺If you can't choose anything here, might as well search for additional ideas in the internet.* Button mushroom Pineapple Olives Mozzarella Grated cheese Parmesan Pepperoni Bacon Shrimps/prawns Capsicum Kale Spinach **Procedure:** ***Preparing the dough:*** In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt and sugar; mix with a spatula. Gradually add warm water; add olive oil. Continue stirring until dough is smooth. Note that the dough should be little tacky-not too slimy and not to dry. You can sprinkle little amount of flour or add very little amount of water to get the desired texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise. (While waiting for the dough to completely rise, you may now start preparing the sauce and toppings) ***Cooking the sauce:*** Preheat pan in a low fire, add olive oil; Sauté tomato and red bell paper for 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce and evaporated milk; stir constantly. Add ground pepper, garlic & onion powder, salt and sugar. Simmer for another 3 minutes while gradually mixing. Remove from fire; set aside. ***After this, you may now check you dough to continue preparing the crust:*** Use a pastry brush and add small amount of oil or melted butter in the pizza pan; Transfer the dough in the pan and sprinkle flour over it; Press the dough using your hand to flatten (following the shape of the pan), and fold over the edges for the outer crust; poke holes all over the dough. ***We're now done with the crust, so let's cook the pizza!*** Pre-cook crust in very low fire for 4-5 minutes; Add sauce of your desired amount over the crust; Cover and cook for 20 minutes; Add your desired topping and cover for another 5 to 8 minutes; Remove from fire and slice, serve with drinks! *sigh* Pretty tiring, right? But once you've tasted the pizza, it will all be worth it! Share your thoughts about this recipe. Thanks for reading, bon appetit ♥

Baby's diary: I love you, mama! (Part 2) Link to Part 1 here : https://read.cash/@Ace/babys-diary-i-love-you-mama-part-1-0e781dde ****Day 70**** Mommy, I'm glad you took the pregnancy test. Are you shocked? You're literally freezing mom. *giggles* Are you that happy you can't even talk? I'm so happy too, mommy. Go tell dad! Maybe he'll be so happy too. Why are you crying mommy? Awww, tears of joy right? I really can't wait to meet you once I'm out. I love you big time ♥ ****Day 75**** What's happening mommy? Please stop crying now, it makes me sad too :( I wanted to wipe your tear and hug and kiss you and tell you we're gonna be fine. It might be hard for you mom, but you're strong and brave! Sorry for causing you troubles mom, sorry if your always moody and always cry and crave for food at night. But you know, I really, really love you. ****Day 78**** Mom? Why are you fighting with daddy? Is it because of me? Why don't he likes me? He's my dad, mom. But why's he saying that I'm not his child? It hurts my little heart mommy... I can't understand what's going on... Maybe because my brain's still small, all I know now is I love mommy and daddy so please stop crying now, okay? It's making me unhappy, too... ****Day 80**** Wake up mommy! Please wake up! You need to be strong! I'm hurting a lot too. I'm really sorry about everything mommy. Dad hitted you and then left because of me. I guess I will grow up without him, though I really love him too. But please mommy, get up now! You need to take care of us :( Okay? I will always love you mom, and I know you loves me too. We can get through this. ****Day 85**** Good morning mommy! I'm sorry if you get up nauseous again. Please eat nutritious food and get yourself checked, 'aight? Cheer up now mom! We can do this even without dad. Don't cry yourself to sleep again okay? It hurts me too. I felt being drowned whenever you cry really deep. ****Day 95**** Mommy? Where are we going? Are we going to the doctor to get me checked? Yippieee! I bet you'll be hearing my heartbeat for the first time. Hey mom? You look gloomy. You have dark circles under your eyes and got thinner. You ain't eating a lot lately. I guess it's because you're always staying up late at night waiting for dad to come back. I'm waiting too but I want you to get a good rest so please sleep early, mom. Mommy, I'm scared! What's this place? Who are these people? Why are you tackling about that? Please tell me it's not what I thought it is... mommy, please! I'm so scared. I'm really, really scared... my heart hurts mom, please help me. ***To be continued...***

Goodnight, read.cash Time check, it's already 1:48 AM. I think I'll go to sleep or else my mom will gonna catch me staying up late again. She scolded me last night because of it, sorry mom! :P I'll continue the second part of my new story tomorrow, with the title Baby's Diary, here's the link if you want to read it: https://read.cash/@Ace/babys-diary-i-love-you-mama-part-1-0e781dde I know, I'm not a really good writer but this story has a real sense, you might not realize it yet because I just published first part of it but I assure you I'll work hard to make the ending worth it.

I don’t know if you’re already aware that I’m living inside your tummy! *giggles* don’t worry mommy, I will surprise you soon.

Who wants FREE Portrait? Hi there! Since I got really bored and has nothing to do almost all throughout the day (except daily household chores LOL), I want to practice my portraiture skill. I got inspired by one of the authors here in read.cash who often posted his/her works and they're really good! I got jealous so I wanted to be as good as him/her too. I will five (5) person to draw as a reference for my portrait drawings definitely for FREE! I'm still a rookie artist so don't expect a professional-level outcome from me HA HA. If you are interested kindly comment down below. Thank you so much! ☺☺☺

A Day in My Life: Entry #2 Yesterday, i published a blog post of the first entry for my “A DAY IN MY LIFE series”, here’s the link if in case you haven’t read it yet and you’re interested about it, but if no you can just ignore it and continue reading other articles HAHA, so here’s the link: https://read.cash/@Ace/a-day-in-my-life-entry-1-7ffd7d99 Another day has passed; I still don’t have anything exhilarating to share. It’s just a normal and boring day! *sigh* I woke up around 09:00 AM, I overslept because I also went to bed late last night. I fixed myself and ate my breakfast, my stomach’s already growling. After that, I sorted my laundry and started doing it. I finished after 2 hours and took a bath straight away. I’m still putting my clothes on when I heard my mom calling us for lunch. I can smell the aroma of Chicken Adobo she cooked; hmm… it oozes my appetite. We ate together and as usual, I did the dishes after. I rest a bit and went outside to check our vegetable garden. I watered the plants and cultivated the soil. My brother saw me so he volunteered to do the work instead. I agreed and just went to the kitchen and prepared something for our *merienda* since it’s almost 3:00 in the afternoon. There’s leftover flour and other baking products from yesterday so I decided to make some pancakes. I topped it with butter and honey, my family commended my cooking and teased me that I should really marry soon since I already knew how to cook. *Here in the Philippines, adults often say that a woman must know how to cook before marrying or if a woman is practicing how to cook, meaning she wants to marry soon. Funny right?* I just rolled my eyes and ignored them. ***Fast forward*** It's 7:00 in the evening and we just finished eating our dinner. I'm already in my room and just scrolling through my social media accounts then writing some random thoughts for my read.cash articles. After an hour or two, I decided to take a bath and do my skin care routine. At the moment, it's still 10:00 PM and I'm now lying in my bed though I'm not sleepy yet. I'm just reading and adding comments on some interesting articles. That's all for today, I'll think about it I'll continue doing this (A Day in My Life series) or on random days only, what do you think?

"Hoy tulog 'na!" "Hoy babae, tulog na! Anong oras na't nakaharap ka parin jan sa cellphone mo? Naku wag ka lang magkakamaling ilapag yan sa maabot ko kundi mababasag talaga yan. Lagi ka nalang puyat eh wala ka naman boyfriend na pinapakilala't dinadala dito sa bahay! Aba tatandang dalaga ka na yata gaya ng Tita Bianca mo." Memorize ko na yata yung linyahan ng mama ko tuwing mahuhuli niya akong gising pa ng gan'tong oras. Lagi nalang akong pinagsasabihan na parang bata pero sa huli hahanapan lang rin pala ng boyfriend na maipapakilala. Mapapailing nalang ako sa inis. Yung mama ko talaga, ang tingin yata sa kin eh 45 years old na! Hello? 22 lang ako ma at isa pa may boyfriend ako ☺ di lang halata, at ayokong dalhin sa bahay hangga't di pa kami inaabot ng isang taon. Baka magloko pa eh, mabugbog lang ni kuya HAHAHA, kawawa naman patpatin pa naman. Hay, di nalang ako umimik at inayos na ang aking kama. Tiningnan ko ang oras, ayun pasado ala-una na pala ng madaling araw kaya pala dumadada na si mama! nasa sala pa kase ako tumatambay habang nag se-cellphone. Bumaba lang siya para umihi, nagawa pang sumeg-way sa akin. Bilhan ko na kaya ng arinola para di na ako nahuhuli na laging nagpupuyat?

A Day in My Life: Entry #1 (*I've been thinking for quite time now that, for me to develop my skills in writing I must practice a lot.* *Read.cash* *is the best platform to share our works while practicing . I decided to focus on certain topic to master first before exploring new ideas. I chose "A Day in My Life series" to work on, so everyday I will be posting entries regarding this topic.*) We all have different routines on spending our day so I’m going to share with you a glimpse of mine today (06/15/2020). There’s nothing special about it since we are still observing community quarantine, our daily activities will only be limited around the house. **MORNING-NOON:** I woke up around 7:00 am to 8:00 am. Since I’m not going anywhere and don’t have any plans for today, I didn’t bother to set my alarm. Upon getting up, I fix my bed, wash my mouth and face then prepare my coffee. While waiting for my coffee to cool a bit, I swept the floor then helped my mom in the kitchen. We ate our breakfast after. I rest a little and scroll through read.cash feed in hopes to get ideas for my next article.  Few minutes later, my cousin came to look for my brother. I borrowed his bike and drove a little, I’m still practicing though. It’s just days since I first learnt how to ride it. I got tired and came back to my room. I lay in my bed and realized that my room is really a mess so I started fixing and arranging stuffs. Time check, it’s 11:53 am! It’s almost lunchtime so I took a quick bath.  **NOON-AFTERNOON:** 12:30 pm: My mom called us for lunch, it's a family habit to eat our meal together. I do the dishes afterwards. I have nothing to do this time so I decided to sketch some portraits of my favorite celebrities (*I'll be posting it here soon ☺*). I finished drawings then got bored, I lay in my bed and opened my social media account. While scrolling, I saw my friend's post about her "Quarantine Diary". I gives me idea to make my own as well. I grab a pen and paper and started writing down notes for my article. It's around 4:00 pm now and I suddenly felt hungry. I want to eat pizza! I asked my mom for her **homemade pizza recipe** and luckily, she cooperated *chuckles* We prepared the ingredients and started cooking. After one and a half hour of preparation, our pizza is now ready. We had our late *merienda* while watching television. **AFTERNOON-EVENING:**  We had our dinner around 7:30 pm, a bit late because we're still full (of course, we ate a lot of pizza! Ha ha) Before going to my room to rest, my mom asked me to take out the trash because my brother is assigned to do the dishes. After that, I went to my room and prepared my clothes. I took a bath and resume writing articles. That's it for to day! It's still 9:30 in the evening and I'm still doing stuffs here in read.cash. I'll see you tomorrow for a new entry of my daily writing series. *Addio*!

Nakaka-miss ang Buhay sa Bukid Kapag ka gan’tong tag-ulan at malamig ang panahon, talaga naman napakasarap himigop ng mainit na kape at may kasabay pang nilagang saging na saba at may sawsawang bagoong. Hayyyy, swak na swak talaga! Naaalala ko tuloy nung mga bata pa kami, madalas na bumisita kami kay lolo’t lola sa probinsiya. Ang kanilang bahay ay nakatayo malapit sa kanilang bukirin, para daw mabantayang maigi ni lolo ang kanyang mga hayop at pananim. Kapag nandoon kami, enjoy na enjoy namin and sariwang simoy ng hangin at ang mga preskong gulay, prutas at isda na uwi ni lolo tuwing hapon. Walang telebisyon doon, drama lang sa radio ang nagsisilbing libangan doon gayunpaman masayang masaya kami tuwing pupunta kami doon. Mahigit sampung taon na rin siguro nang huli kaming makapunta doon, magkasunod kasing binawian ng buhay sina lolo’t lola kaya ipinagbili nan g aking ama ng lupain nila roon. Wala naman daw kasing mag aasikaso. Isa pa, napakalayo nito sa aming kasalukuyang tinitirhan. Nakakamiss talaga yung simpleng buhay na ganoon, walang polusyon at ingay gaya ng sa syudad. Malaya kang makakapamitas ng bunga ng prutas at masayang makakaligo sa ilog at batis. Kung maibabalik lamang ang panahon, siguro’y sinulit ko na ang bawat oras na naroroon ako kasama ko pa sina lolo’t lola.

Hugot kay read.cash Ano po ba nangyayari sa points system ngayon? Bakit walang narereceive na credit kahit mag comment o mag post ng article? Umabot naman sa 500 characters yung sulat at 60 characters sa comment, na-approve sa community at na follow ang rules pero wala paring nadaragdag na points. Ngayong araw ko lang naman to na-encounter at sobrang nakakainis kasi nag e-effort ka at nag bibigay ng oras pero wala man lang naibalik sayo (parang pag-ibig mo sa kanya na di niya kayang suklian!) Hindi naman sa nawawalan ako ng gana, pero nakakainis lang isipin kasi nag e-expect ka base sa agreement, diba? Pero sa bandang huli, pinaasa ka lang naman! (Oo, gaya nanaman ng ex mo! Pinaniwala kang ikaw lang, at di ka iiwan pero sa bandang huli pinagpalit ka parin. Grrr) O siya, siya! Tanggapin nalang natin. May dahilan naman ang lahat. Di natin alam baka may paparating na mas better! Baka may pa-comeback sa read.cash na something, something exciting! (Pero bakla! Wag mo asahan na pati kayo ng ex mo may comeback ha?) Antay-antay lang tayo, pasasaan ba't may darating din (Last na! Oo may darating din na much better kaya wag ka na umasa sa ex mong may mahal nang iba)

Nakaka-aliw talaga dito! Madaling araw na! Diko namamalayan ang oras. Ganoon siguro talaga kung masyado kang naaliw at nadadala sa iyong ginagawa. Pabasa-basa at pa scroll-scroll lang ako dito sa read.cash, masyadong nadadala sa mga nababasa kong nakakatuwa. May tungkol sa mga buhay tat pinagdadaanan, may maiikling kwento, at mga kaalaman tungkol sa bitcoin at iba pa. Mabuti na lamang at may nag imbita sa akin na subukan itong read.cash, sa una ay nagdadalawang isip pa akong mag sumite ng aking mga gawa dahil baka hindi totoo o baka 'di ko magustuhan. Umabot pa sa puntong gusto ko nang tumigil dito pero sa tulong ng mga kapwa ko mambabasa at manunulat, napagdesisyunan kong manatili. ♥ Kung hindi ako nakinig ay marahil maraming karanasan na mawawala sa akin. Sa ngayon ay patuloy parin akong nagsasanay kung paanong magakapaglathala ng babasahing makabuluhan at makatawag-pansin. Suportahan na lamang natin ang isa't isa upang magtagal pa tayo rito. Salamat at bukas muli kaibigan!

Karaoke, gaano nga ba kalaki ang impluwensya sa atin? Gaano nga ba ka-importante ang **KARAOKE** sa buhay nating mga Pinoy? Pansin mo ba? Halos lahat ng kaganapan sa buhay nating mga Pilipino ay hindi mawawala ang Karaoke? Idagdag mo na rin ang lechon. Mapa birthday, graduation, binyag, kasal, piyesta, pasko, bagong taon at iba pa, laging nanjan yan! Ang totoo apa nga n'yan, kahit wala namang handaan nanjan lagi ang kantahan. Kahit sa simpleng inumang kalye o habang nag to-tong-its basta ba'y nariyan ang mikropono walang humihindi mapa bata, matanda, babae, lalaki, may ngipin o wala hinding hindi magpapahuli yan! May napanood nga akong video gawa ng isang sikat na foreign vlogger sa facebook kung saan itinampok ang Karaokeng Pinoy. Sabi roon, halos karamihan raw sa ating mga tahanan ay mayroon nito. Napailing nalang ako habang nanonood dahil kasabay rin nito ang pagpapa-andar ng tito ko ng aming Telebisyon at isinet-up na ang Magic Sing. Naku, tama nga si Kuyang Vlogger! Hahaha. Mukhang napakalaki na nga ng parte ng karaoke sa buhay natin. Sabagay, kahit sino naman siguro ay natutuwang kumanta kahit pa basag o sintunado ka.

What's tougher than a diamond? Women. “What’s the most precious gift that God gave you?” I think the most precious gift from God is being as a woman. Women are often perceived by the society as weak, incapable and powerless. They rarely view women as a leader of a large company or a wise President of a country, but little did they know that **women are far more tougher than a diamond**. Yes, you read it right! Behind numerous degrading and stereotyping from other people, women will remain the strongest and will always be. I bet some of you might disagree about my idea but think about this carefully, in what area do men overpower women? Did you answer physical force? If yes, you are wrong. There are a lot of women with brute force and can do labor as much as men do *Did you answer* ***mental capacity***? If yes, you are still wrong. There are recent studies that shows gender doesn’t contribute to mental capacity of a person. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female, both have the same probability of developing critical thinking capacity and likes *Did you answer* ***emotional stability***? If yes, you are still wrong. Women tend to break down easily or cry a lot and may seem vulnerable all the time but did you? Men are more emotional than women and they are having a bad time containing their emotion because they isolate themselves thinking they’re tough and don’t need anyone to open up their burdens. That is according to studies conducted by the experts on why men have leading numbers of suicide. If you can't think of any more aspects, might as well agree that women are indeed the toughest. Just imagine, women sacrifices a lot for the family: **First**, carrying a baby in her womb for 9-freaking-months! Moms will endure every pain and consequences just to make sure their babies are in good condition and they can deliver them safely. **Second**, hundreds of sleepless night will follow just to look after and feed the baby while the father is snoring and sound asleep, unbelievable! **Third**, mothers will take care of the laundry, prepare meals, clean the house and make sure everything's in place. It's a 24/7 unpaid job but they still manage to stay sane after 10, 20 or more than 50 years of serving for the family. Woah! Amazing, isn't it? Women are really something. Let's appreciate every sacrifices that they made for us by showing affection to them, helping them and saying thank you to them. By that simple way, they'll feel a lot better.

ART WORK: Beholder's Eye Just wanted to share my simple and random artwork called “Beholder’s Eye” I am just sitting on my desk then I saw a pen and papers on the table. I grabbed it and tried sketching different facial features. It has been months since I last drawn anything. I used to make a lot of artworks like sceneries, comics, portraits and fan arts but due to my nature of work, I became busy and almost forget about this “hidden talent” that I possess. For this piece, I used 0.5 Mechanical Pencil No. 02 and Goldfaber 6b on a scratch paper *laughs*, cheap right? Well, it just came popping on my mind that's why didn't bother to use paperboard or sketch pads. It’s been a while and it feels really good to do this again. So, since we’re still on community quarantine and I have nothing to do at home maybe I’ll try to this frequently. If you want to request any artworks from me, I would be very glad to try it out and post it here on read.cash! I will look forward for your support. Thank you and keep on writing. ♥ [Sponsors]

Impression on read.cash I'm just a newbie here in read.cash invited by my friend who's been active for weeks now. She said I can share articles or posts and I will get paid. It sparks my interest because I'm also looking for a freelance online job just to add up my earnings since I'm unable to continue my usual job, which is online selling, due to the ongoing lockdown. So, I tried signing up here and learn how this site works. At first, it was so confusing and I thought it wasn't worth it because you'll only get a really small amount of compensation for your work. It's true, but still I continued using this site. While browsing, an interesting article caught my eye. It contains tips on how to utilize read.cash very well. After reading it I realize one should really take its time before expecting to get decent amount in return for your works. No one started making huge amount in an instant without sacrificing a lot of time and effort. I've been a user for 3 days now and I only earned less than a dollar but it's fine, I will still work hard because I starter to enjoy staying here. Aside from the payment, I also learn a lot of this about cryptocurrency, world news, different cultures, thoughts, lifestyle, et cetera from varieties of user from all around the world. I think that's the best thing that read.cash caused me since then. I can say that with or without monetization, I will still visit this platform often times. Thanks for the few subscriber and friends that's been commenting motivational words on my works. I'm glad that there's other people that can take their time to appreciate my hard work.

I learned how to ride a bike today! Hi! I just wanted to share my experience today. I'm already twenty-one but is my first time practicing how to ride and handle a bike. I woke up early this morning to do my daily routine--mopping the floor and watering plants. After that, around 7:30 in the morning, I'm still enjoying my morning coffee, my neighbor Liam, which is my cousin came riding his bike. He was asking for some movies to watch so I let him borrow my laptop for him to look at my saved movies. While checking, he suddenly asked me about my plans today. I said nothing, maybe I'll just binge-watch this famous Netflix series Money Heist. I'm still on season 1 and I really wanted to be updated of the latest aired episode. "*Lame*" said Liam, "Let's just practice biking. I will assist you, you're too old but you still ask your brother to drive for you if you wanted to go to nearby store or what. Really lame." He added. I felt so attacked! Hahaha, just kidding. I didn't answer and think for a while. Ever since we were kids I never tried practicing because I'm so afraid so fall or tumble down then break my bones. I know it would really hurt! It made me cringe thinking it might happen to me. After few minutes, he stood up and said "I'll just grab my extra helmet, go change and I'll be right back." I haven't agreed yet but I followed what he said. I fixed myself and wore a loose shirt and a trekking pants. I also wore knee and elbow pads which I used to wore during my volleyball practice. We just practiced around our neighborhood. Since there's only few people around, we're still observing community quarantine that's why most of them just stay inside their homes and I think we are all used to it. Liam explained to me the basics of riding bike like how to balance, how and when to use breaks, how to synchronize my body and how to control the direction. "I can do it!" I took a deep breath after listening to his brief lecture. I wore the helmet, held the grips, prepared kicking the pedal and look straight to where I'm going, that's what Liam said. Full of confidence, I kicked the pedal to move. It's so hard to control the direction, I can't move straight because I keep on going the other way and fall. I just laugh every time it happens. I shouted at Liam but he just said "You can do that don't be so silly! Use your long legs so that you won't fall idiot!" I really wanted to cry because I kind of feel hopeless but I just continued practicing back and forth while Liam just sat at the corner, playing games in his phone and just checking on my current situation in every few minutes. If I fell, I just get up and try again. I also apply what he's saying. Keeping my balance is the first thing, he said I don't need to hold the grip roughly. So I did it. Yippie, I'm so happy because for the first time I was able to move for like 3 to 5 meters without falling. I continued doing it and finally I did it! After almost four hours or rigorous practice, numbers of stumbling, and scrapes all over my arms, I finally made it! After that, we went home. I was really happy jumping around and telling my parents and siblings that I already knew how to ride a bike! They congratulated me and prepared us snacks. It's really tiring but at the same time, thrilling. My brother said I'm lucky because it only took me hours to learn, some practiced for like days or weeks and even months before making it. Well, I have a strong will maybe that's the reason why. I will practice more tomorrow or until I master it, making sure I wear proper protective gears to avoid breaking my bones.
