My World Of Boredom: Quarantine Edition At the time I came here to Parañaque, Philippines to work as a Personal Assistant for a CEO in a Construction Company, that was back on **October 4, 2019**. Since I'm a professional tambay *(commonly term for unemployed here in the Philippines)* and it's my Aunt who offered me the job, I was delighted with the idea. I didn't even hesitate since it was said that I wouldn't spend anything during my flight, and so they did. As I came…
Parallel Lines *Hey. How are you doing?* How fast the time flies by, right? All those times we spend together were still fresh in my memory even now. It's just like it happened yesterday. I can still recall every moment of it, all the joy, the moments we both cried, the adventures, the stupid arguments, the games we played, the festivals we attended, the occasions we celebrated, and the gifts we exchanged. *Hey. Do you remember how we first met?* We were in middle school…

Such Randomness... I can't get enough inspiration from the songs I listen to make another short story. Then, I'll just pass making one just for today. As I read some of the articles here, I got lucky to pass through @OfficialGamboaLikeUs ' article, *****"Questions To Answer"*****. I'm about to skip writing today but after reading her article, I got this huge smile on my face saying, *"I'M SAVED!".* https://read.cash/@OfficialGamboaLikeUs/questions-to-answer-5ea03a14 If you…
Thank you so much for sponsoring me @Stea. You made me smile first thing in the morning.
A Fur Walking Far Away ***We have a monthly pest control today***. We do this to avoid the manifestation of ants, rats, cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes in and outside the house. The house that I'm currently living in is ***30 years old*** already. It undoubtedly needs extra care for it to last more years before we could renovate it. The ***Pest-control Team*** usually arrives at ***9:00 am***. After Madam went to the office, we hurriedly wrapped all the kitchenware, water…
Wondering About These What-ifs... ***Today is Sunday, a day for resting and recuperating***. I also wanted to recharge today for tomorrow's work. Being said that, my mind is also on its rest day so I don't feel like thinking of a good plot for a short story nor an interesting topic for a blog right now. *If something like this happens, we know the ritual already. Of course, just answer some random questions*. It's better than to abstain from writing or copy another person's…
I'm Good At This While I'm Bad With That *We are all born with unique traits yet none of us are perfect. We can be best at a particular aspect but worst in a certain aspect. We may love that kind of thing but other people may dislike it. May we found joy with that act but for others, it may be boring. I just mean to say that we are all different and unique, also each of us possesses different kinds of strengths and weaknesses.* A while ago, I have read @Codename_Chikakiku's…
The Myth Of Poverty In My Hometown When I was a kid, I have that habit of reading every word I saw around the house. Then one day, I saw this word on our calendar. It says **"Pontevedra"**. The word sounded foreign to me and it was the first time that I have ever heard of it. I was curious about it and asked my mother. Then she replied that it was the name of our municipality. As a curious kid, I asked why it was named like that. Then, tell-tale from the elders had been…
Simply Changing A Font Had Encouraged Me To Write Today is just another typical day when having a typhoon. A scene in which it rains from morning until night and it feels like it doesn't want to stop. As it continues raining outside, of course, some of our plans will be postponed or delayed. As for me who don't have plans to go out since I don't have plans anyway, I just stare into walls until I get lost in my imaginations. Indulging myself in the sensation of lethargy as it…
Of Gobbledegook & Hogwash A white page is urging me to write but I'm somehow reluctant because I can hear voices in my head squabbling about this idea. Their arguments are endless and it's getting louder that it turns out to be chaotic. ***My eyes said,*** *"I'm beat. Let me just shut off."* ***My fingers said,*** *"Do it tomorrow. I'm tired."* ***My body said,*** *"I'm exhausted. Get some sleep already."* ***Then my brain shouted,*** *"Get back to work, idiots! You're just…
Come Out Of Your Shell **"YOU ARE LIKE A TURTLE THAT ALWAYS HIDING IN ITS SHELL EVERY TIME A PERSON PASSES BY. "** That's what we often say to our eldest brother. ***But why compare him to a turtle?*** It's because he has those turtle-like traits except for the trait from a parable that the turtle in the story is slowly moving forward but never giving up. That's what lacking from him. Well everybody is telling him that until now. I don't know what's going on in his mind that…
I Have Worked As A Field Sales Representative ***Are there some instances that someone, particularly a salesperson, knocks on your door and offers you some products or services?*** ***Is there a moment that someone has invited you to be a field sales representative?*** ***Do you fully understand this job?*** *****Image source***** https://resources.jobsoid.com/job-descriptions/sales/field-sales-outside-sales-representative As I read @Bjorn 's article a while ago about…
How Do You Remember Your Grandparents? **"Grandparents love their grandchildren more than their children."** Every time that there is a discussion about grandchildren, I often hear people say it. They said it's because grandparents tend to remember their children when they were kids when they see their grandchildren. It is said that they missed those days and wanted to relive the life they have when their children were still kids by giving more attention to their…
Blank Space, Baby! I sit on the sofa, crossed my legs, and holds my phone with both hands. At the same time, as usual, I will write my article that is supposed to be published every **11:20 pm**, now going to be delayed, as the previous one appeared to be a day ago. I opened my *Notepad* and create a new note. I stare at it for so long. I forgot that I haven't thought of a topic to write for today's blog yet. I'm so busy laughing at our *Elementary Batch's Group Chat on…
Almost Empty And Somewhat Lightheaded ***Heya, beautiful people!*** Welcome to another session of my writer's block. I have been busy online shopping for pajamas throughout the day, so as expected, I haven't settled my mind about a certain topic to write about today. I'm the type of person whose weakness is cold temperatures and weather. You know, the ***BER months*** have already started. If this season is the most joyous and festive for everyone, but for me, it's…
Annoyingly Distracted ***I got to admit it. I'm saved by a prompt again.*** I searched for the latest prompt at Promptly Jonica Community wherein Miss @JonicaBradley published a topic for prompts every week and saw that the latest prompt is all about ***"Distractions"***. I'm the type of girl who can hardly focus on one task. That is why when I work with one thing, I don't want any distractions until I finished it, or else I wouldn't finish it at all. Like when I write an…
Karma's Rules *"Excuse me. Can I ask about a patient named Flores?"* I asked the person at the information desk as I enter the hospital. My boyfriend got into a motorcycle accident this morning and I just received a call from his sister. *"He's still in the surgery ward, Miss. Go straight that path, turn right, and proceed to the second floor."* The person pointed the path while giving me instructions. *"Got it, Sir. Thank you."* I walk through that path that is instructed…

The Turtle Snaps! ***Last month, I've been instructing my Mom to get a Postal ID, so she can verify the Coins.ph account that my elder brother has made for her****.* Source: Coins.ph https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwje5bSsl4bzAhVhIqYKHUNpCGEQ3YkBegQIARAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoins.ph%2Fblog%2Fgoverment-id-to-apply-for-philippines%2F&psig=AOvVaw3veMe-5xK9Ot5kqoT6qoTf&ust=1631973999123248 Since I don't have a valid ID with me, I have been holding my…
Life Hates Me I have heard of a proverb that says, ***"Still waters run deep."*** Just like these waters below this bridge. A calm, still, and constant water flowing towards the sea. It may appear calm on the surface but nobody knows how strong is the current below. It might pull anyone down into the depths of the unknown, trapping anything into its endless void. Who knows what it flows below is like a raging monster that can't be withheld. It's funny to think that the only…
Taste Like Honey My family spends 100 days cultivating the land, planting crops, and taking care of it. It was a rice crop, so it was delicate. Every day either my father or my brother would visit the fields to check if the rice stalks were surrounded by grass, it was malnourished, the land was dried, the other area wasn't getting enough water, the other areas were overflowing, or some pests were eating the stalks and damaging the barriers. Every day was hard work for our…
A Day In A Life Of Being Noob At Crypto Yesterday, I had a little conversation with ***Hattyhats*** in the comment section of his article, **"Are You BRAVE?"**. I asked him if Brave Browser still requires a verified Uphold wallet since it says that the said Browser has upgraded. He replied yes, and said that ***Gemini*** is now allowed to be used. I never heard of this wallet app before. That app still needs a valid ID verification and I don't have one yet, so I shrugged it…
Tired Yet Fully Awake My day has been productive. I wake up at **5 am** this morning because my Madam has to leave early for work. She said that she have a scheduled construction site inspection today. Due to her old age, she still possesses a sharp mind yet a weaker body, of course. Her scheduled arrival there is 9 am but she still has to wake up early to prepare herself. Given that she is not young anymore, she is now slower to move and I need to assist her in everything…
Tables Turned Jeff's family have moved to another town since their jobs are closer there. Being said that, he also has to move to another school and today is his first day. As a newbie in an unfamiliar place, it is just the usual thing that people will stare thoroughly at a new guy. Jeff feels uncomfortable with people staring at him, so he keeps his head down and only looks at his way in his front. His first day goes smoothly than he expected. He easily finds friends and…
Hello to my dear readers of my article Tables Turned. I've been busy the whole day today and just finished working late this night at 9:30 pm. I'm so beat now. My eyes are dozing off while I write the next part. So forgive me if I publish the next part a little late tomorrow and I'm also trying to read as much as I can here. It's just making me more sleepy, though. 🤗 So okay, good night guys.
Thank you so much for renewing your sponsorship once again @King_Gozie.
Tables Turned Pt.2 Jane was born in a poor and dysfunctional family. Her father is a gambler and her mother is a martyr. She grew up listening to fights, quarrels, shouts and screams coming from her parents. Almost every day, they would fight to their heart's content. When her mother is away, her father would instantly turn to her and let out all his wrath towards her. Things like this are the norm in the family. It's a prison of torture. When she started going to school,…

Tables Turned: The Finale As the man draws nearer towards her, her body shivers more. *What just happened? Didn't she wish to die? So why is she shivering at the smell of death?* The man is in front of her now still holding a knife. She trembles in the sight of it and can't utter a sound. She can't see his face because it's dark and he wears a hoodie. *"Jane..."* He knows her name but she can't recognize him. He slowly takes off his hoodie. The sight becomes clearer though…
Unfair Reality After reading @Eunoia's article, **"Abstract: something from nothing becomes anything."**, wherein he mentioned there a memory from his Elementary days in which a teacher gets irritated by a student who can't read the words from the board. Out of the teacher's anger, the student was forcedly carried from Grade 5 to Grade 1, of course, the student was traumatized and stopped going to school. Within this idea, a memory from my elementary days flickered in my…
How Far Did It Go? As of ***September 30, 2021***, today marks the end of another month again. This month, fortunately, becomes a fruitful month for me and to most writers here. We may have our ups and downs here on our blogging journey, as well as the dip of BCH going on as of now, we are still here keeping ourselves motivated to keep publishing our articles every day. Last August, I didn't bother to write any monthly report because there's nothing good to share about it.…
