Visiting at Classmate's House
Yesterday we have no class for whatever reason, our initial plan was to do our prototype at school but sadly our we don't get approval that's why we are in rest for 3 days. However, I went at my classmates house yesterday to give my contribution for our thesis. I don't know the path to Brgy. Ususan that's why I use google maps ang gladly I am familiar with the path from housing to Diego Silang.
I use my bike since it's more convenient then I start riding with extreme heat from the sun, I didn't ride that fast since as much as possible I want to conserve my energy and prevent my body from dehydration.
After 30 minutes of biking I finally reached Taguig City Hall and I am surprised to see that a new city hall was in progress of building, I stopped at the corner of the road and told my classmate that I'm already at Puregold but to my surprised I am at wrong place, she said puregold junior that's why I asked a lady where to find puregold junior and she said to enter on road at the side of seven eleven.
I followed the instruction and continue biking until I saw puregold junior also my classmate which bought something. After that she guide to to their house and I saw my other classmates their doing their presentation on one of our subject.
While they are busy doing their task I'm just there to connect on their WIFI eat their foods and play mobile legends, at 5:30 PM we decided to go home and my classmate asked me if I can deliver her contribution for their Thesis then I said yes. After a lot of goodbyes, I finally hopped on my bike and then start pedaling.
At 6:20 PM I finally reached C5 Waterfun and messaged my other classmate that I'm already there since they gonna pick up the money however it took me 20 minutes to wait since I don't know where they are that's why I decided to roam around subdivision to look at their place.
I stumbled upon different places like Japan, Australia, Italy, Germany and France however they said they are in America that's why I took different route until I saw them outside the house waiving at me. I caught up on them doing welding and grinding metal sheet for their enclosure box for their thesis.
I give the money and stayed there for atleast 30 minutes, after a lot of chitchats and it's getting late at night. we decided to go home and have a rest.
A Mysterious Book
I feel so tired in this life, I always get bullied by those students who do nothing but ruin my life every day. Here I am ready to step my foot into the four corners of this room but I know this room became my hell again. As I stepped inside a sudden bucket of water poured on my head, and the whole class laughed at me. I want to cry but no tears are falling from my cheeks deep inside I feel so embarrassed for myself. Gladly, I brought an extra shirt cause I knew this will happen. I sit on my chair but suddenly I feel like I can't move.
I tried to stand then I notice I was glued to my chair. The room filled with laughter again, this time I can't endure this kind of bullying, my tears suddenly burst, however, they didn't stop laughing instead they start throwing papers at me. This is my life as a transfer from the countryside, we are in a private school and I got a scholarship to enter that private institution, however, the students there are arrogant. I can't fight back I tried to complain but in the end, I am the one who apologize to them. From that moment, they didn't stop bullying me, there are no days they didn't bother my life.
But this time I tried everything to slink off from being glued, I ran outside the room and I don't know where I will go. I saw no guard at the gate, so I sneak off and ran as fast as I could. This time I escape from that room, I wander around the streets still wearing my uniform. I sat near the alley when I saw an old woman being robbed by vagrants that's why I immediately run towards the old woman and restrain those vagrants. I hope I can do that to myself, I felt a sudden sadness however I was surprised when an old woman talk to me.
Pexel
*"I just want to say thank you for saving me, maybe my belongings are gone now if you didn't restrain those vagrant kids"*
*"I did nothing ma'am, I saw them robbing your belongings that's why I interrupted them, I'm glad that your safe"*
The old woman keeps smiling at me, she asked me what flavor I want but I smiled back at her and said nothing. Suddenly, an old woman got something inside her bag and it was a book.
Pexel
*"Sorry I can't give you any money to pay you back but I can only give you this book, it contains magic which you can wish anything and read anything in this book to make that wish granted".*
I suddenly smiled at an old woman and imagine that if only there was a magic wish in this world then maybe I didn't experience this kind of life, maybe I already wish that all my problems are gone. I accept the book from an old woman and then go home. I knew that my mother will get astounded once he saw me go home early. I sneak behind the backdoor but suddenly my mother called my name and asked me if my class ended. I replied that there was an event in school that's why students were sent home early. My mother also got curious about the book I was holding.
*"It's a gift from a friend of mine Ma"*, then I went inside my room to take a rest. However, I am really curious about what the old woman said earlier. I am so restless and my curiosity to open the book hits me, I ended up opening the first page then a strange symbol made me scared a little bit. I remember what the old woman said to whisper the wish first before reading anything from the book. I didn't mind it since I think that the old woman is bluffing. I whispered my wish in the air and then read an unknown text in the book, *"plumae omni ponterum excesariet aju marina ulegare"*.
A sudden gust of wind blew inside my room even though my windows are closed, I checked the window and opened it then saw that the sky became darker and the wind became stronger. Seems like the storm is coming. I get back on my bed then look at the page I'm reading and to my surprise, I can't find it anymore, I browsed the book many times but I didn't find that strange words. Cold weather, tempted me to take sleep. When I woke up. It was already 6 in the evening then my mother had an annoyed yet worried face. She scold me cause I lied that we have no class but suddenly, she hugged me so tight.
I don't understand what is happening until she explained to me that the school had an incident of food poisoning, and there are lots of casualties including my classmates, some survived and are currently in the hospital but some died since the poison immediately spread in their body and infect their immune system. Everyone is in sorrow due to what happened. According to the investigation, there's someone who put that poison in the food but the police had no evidence of who's the culprit cause there's no trace left on the scene.
6 days later when we attended the funeral of those who died from food poisoning, and then I feel a shiver on my spine when I saw those bodies inside the coffin. It's the body of my classmates who bullied me, I don't understand why it happen. How it is possible? Then I remember what I wished for the last time. In that room, I was holding the book and then wished that all those who bully me shall die and then read those strange words.
I am so scared, I didn't expect that it will happen, I didn't want this to happen. But wait why I can't feel anything? Why I can't feel any remorse? Then I look at the coffin's mirror then saw my reflection smiling back at me. And then I remember everything now. I didn't take a rest that day, I get out of the house and then went to school, I sneaked inside the cafeteria to see what the food service to students was, I hide from the cameras and then put pesticides on food plates. I saw those who bully me happy talking at their table. I immediately mixed pesticides on a pot and I'm sure they will enjoy their last meal.
I want to laugh so hard but I need to keep acting like I'm commiserative deep inside I'm so happy that I made it, I'm sure no one will bully me again. I hide my face inside my shirt and pretend like I'm crying. The police interviewed if we notice something strange during school hours but then I said I went home early which my mother witnessed until now there's still no suspect from the tragedy that happened and I bet they won't find it.
An Exhausting Day
On Wednesday we start building our Thesis, it was such an exhausting task since we need to remove piles of sand and gravel from the place where are the project will stand. However, this afternoon is the most exhausting one. At morning, I woke up late and I thought my class was at afternoon but little did I know, it was a morning class at 8 AM.
I immediately took a bath then prepared my things, I skipped breakfast cause I'm planning to go home at lunch. However when I am at the entrance of campus, the guard told me to fill up a paper which stated that I violated a rule, I am not wearing a uniform since I forgot to wash it.
But the guard was so nice, he told me it was just first offense then let me enter the campus. I came on our room and I saw my classmates busy doing their task, some are playing, some are checking their paper and some are doing the activity on PLC.
I didn't do anything just roaming around and good timing my classmates. One 1 PM we decided to rest at forest area of campus since it was so hot and at forest the temperature is warm. They also started grinding the flat bar to attach on our case for solar panel.
We can't start digging since it was so hot and we are afraid of dehydration and exhaustion due to heat. I helped them aligning the bent steel and also assisting them on cleaning impurities on welding angle bar.
I'm removing impurities on angle bar and also shining it using a steel brush. I forgot to bring extra shirt that's why I ended up using while t-shirt and my slacks.
They also finish painting the brace of our solar panel and if you see our panel that's how big it is, it's size is 2 meters by 1 meter and it was 2 pieces that's why our angle bar size is 4 meters by 1 meter which is so long.
At 2 PM I already start digging holes for our foundation, it's not easy task to do cause I was exposed on heat and we only had manual equipment and power tools to dig a 4 inches thick cement. It took us 4 hours to dig 2 holes in cement with a depth of 0.4 meters which our steel will be imbed.
This day is too exhausting but what most exhausting is I don't have any money to contribute since there are lots of things to buy including main components like battery, wires, circuit breaker, bolts and nuts that will be assembled. I am praying for a miracle that would happen cause honestly I am losing hope but still fighting for the success of our thesis.
Cleaning the Entire House
Last Saturday we conduct a general cleaning since a visitor is coming and also there's someone who will rent our vacant room. It's such a tragedy to clean the entire house, it took me 6 hours to completely clean the room since there are a lot of trash and unused things that need to be cleaned up. I manage to clean everything.
I cleaned our kitchen, my sister bought a new stove, cabinet, and shelves since we feel sorry about how old our appliances are. I arranged everything in the kitchen since there's a space in which we can put our belongings. I clean everything in the kitchen including plates, hidden spoons, and fork, different kitchen equipment, etc. It's such a miracle that we clean since a visitor was coming who is my sister's co-worker.
That is how busy my weekends are, the portion of our kitchen was used to place our cabinets and clothes and also it's the place where I sleep using a folding bed cause I feel comfortable. I wipe everything to make it clean while my sister is cooking viand for our visitors.
At 5 PM, our visitor came and still I'm finished fixing everything, at night I decide to take a rest since I can't manage to wash everything. They eat dinner while I was in the kitchen making articles and watching videos on facebook. They want me to join in the fun but I feel shy cause I'm not close with them.
They played games and had fun conversations, I'm just listening to their talks and rants about their company. It's such an exhausting weekend but still, I'm happy cause our house became clean and our things got replaced by new ones. I also got my cabinet and shelf for my clothes but sad to say I only have a few clothes and I can't afford to buy new ones, if only there's someone who can gift me a shirt, just kidding. That would be all everyone, thanks for passing by.
ChatGPT: AI Writing Tool, Good or Bad?
Source https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehealthcaretechnologyreport.com%2Fthe-healthcare-industrys-not-so-secret-weapon-chatgpt%2F&psig=AOvVaw3Tgwhdkd_P1rSKS6hfAcRI&ust=1679738761628000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CBAQjRxqFwoTCMCh9NOo9P0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE
Have you heard about different AI writing tools? Like ChatGPT? According to Wall Street Journal ChatGPT is an artificial-intelligence chatbot developed by AI research company OpenAI. **Released in November 2022**, it can have conversations on topics from history to philosophy, generate lyrics in the style of Taylor Swift or Billy Joel, and suggest edits to computer programming code. In March 2023, OpenAI said it would upgrade it to also handle visual information, such as answering questions about the contents of a photo. https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-ai-chatbot-app-explained-11675865177 https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-creator-openai-pushes-new-strategy-to-gain-artificial-intelligence-edge-11671378475?mod=article_inline
Which means ChatGPT is a tool to make everyone's life easier, in a single command, the AI tool will create a bunch of information for you according to the command you put. Like "*what is recipe for making cookies?*", chatGPT will provide information for you in a matter of seconds. It's like a search engine but a single and concise information was given.
There are lots of advantages which chatGPT had, one of those is convenience since all the information came from AI writing tool was legitimate came from articles, books, internet, magazines, etc. Anything in this world can be answered by chatGPT unless those nonsense things which AI writing tool will respond in sorry.
Another advantage of using AI writing tools like chatGPT is you can combine those information to create a videos. Like what I've done a weeks ago.
I command chatGPT to make me a 10-minute script about theory of parallel universe and it was a success, chatGPT provides me an information which is very accurate cause I also studied this theory before and all the information given to me was legitimate.
What makes those AI tools very cool is you can combine them to create a video. I use the information that was provided by chatGPT and combine it on Prime Voice AI, which consist of different voices that can be free to use.
https://youtu.be/3-_fQAO3m7o
I use chatGPT and Prime Voice AI to create a video about parallel universe, I tried to make one and honestly it's not perfect since I only use images and transitions in order to make some movements but I think a short clips is far more better. It took me hours to make one video, all I can say is, it's gonna be the future of this world if only people will use it on good way.
However, despite of all advantages AI writing tools have, still it was used and abused by spammers and bad people, it was used in different blogging sites to create a perfect article which gives them an easy money. Sad to say that I saw a lot of that here on read.cash, I saw one few days ago but I didn't comment any criticization on it since there's a possible that he or she is so good at writing.
Even on Hive, AI writing tool was used and abused but developers and users didn't allow that kind of act and once spotted red-handed, that said post is reported and reviewed.
Just to be clear, I am not using chatGPT to cheat but I use it to gain legitimate information, it's more convenient than search engines cause I can get a concise and synthesize information. I can use this tool in future works, it can help me to create relevant things that might help other people.
Truly, there's a lot of opportunity which technology can give to us, it only depends on people how they use it, Overall, AI writing tools or any other tools is not bad to use, it can help to make our life easier and gives us concise and legitimate information. I'm hoping that people will use it to help rather than abuse it to earn but in bad way.
Happy 2 Years Old!
It's my accounts second birthday yesterday here on read.cash, I'm very glad I reached this far, with lots of ups and downs, I manage to withstand all those challenges. Actually, I've been blogging here on read for almost 3 years but due to consecutive spam of my accounts, I made new ones until I established a username Codename_Chikakiku. Madam lincs is my remaining sponsor, I think she sponsored me for 1 year that's why her profile is still on my sponsor tab.
I've already shared before the story behind my name, Chikakiku is a Malaysian Tiktoker that I have crush on, while codename is a military call and I am fond of playing call of duty before. For years of blogging, my skills on writing English greatly enhance, it's not perfect but considerably accepted. Gladly, read.cash community isn't judgmental even if there's a lot on grammatical errors on articles.
I shared a lot of topics about my life, my problems, my lovelife, my success, my failures, etc. A lot of my readers witness who I am, read.cash became my friend and pain absorber everytime I share my problems, it became my friend and great source of income.
I bought a lot of things due to read.cash, I manage to treat myself, buy things I want and help a lot of people. I shared what I earned but in my situation right now, it sad to say that no one helps now that I'm financial instability, it's just sad that those people you helped before ignored you right now.
This gave me a lesson to focus on myself, I will say no if it's not necessary, I need to help myself first. Anyway, before we got emotional, let's go back to my topic.
For those users who the same era as mine, who will never forget this moments?, those moments which we earned double digits in single articles, this is an era which read.cash had huge support and had huge funds on it. This time, read.cash is very active, a lot of users earned huge sum of money thanks to generosity of sponsors and our very own rusty.
This is also the time which I spend a lot and don't worried about saving or any future emergencies until such time that dump came and put my assets into bloody positions, from the declaration of crypto ban to dilemmas on coinflex, that's the start of crypto winter that plummets everything.
It's just sad how things turns down but what happen in past is already happened, it affects us right now but a great loss means a big opportunity, future is unpredictable but life is matter of gambling, 50 percent chance of win or loss. However, no matter if we win or loss, we should learn something about it, one thing I want to say and message to myself is invest on future you, invest on your knowledge and invest in your future.
Before I end this post, I wanna say thanks to those user that became my virtual friend, to all those who guide me and helped me to learn new things specially on crypto. I don't want to mention names cause I might bring disturbance on your notifications but I wanna say thank you to all Filipino users here that appreciates my article even if it's full of nonsense, my happiness won't be measured, I hope read.cash never dies and I was hoping that a great sponsor will helped to grow more this kind of good platform.
I don't know where to get that
It's a sunny day but my mood was different I've been in this mood since last week due to problems and stress, we have this thesis and need to contribute a huge sum of money and that's my problem. I don't know where to get that, I already contribute $80 but I have still $120 need to pay. I have no one to ask for money since our family also having a financial crisis.
I've tried to grind and grind but the market gives me a lot of heartache to me, what I ground for a week was put into nothing since the price of the token I earned was dumped and I got frustrated about it. I lost my motivation to grind, I tried another source of income but still, there was no motivation for me to do so.
These past few days I prefer to stay at home than sleep rather than attend our classes, gladly this week is the foundation day of my university that's why there's no class and students are having fun in campus right now while I'm here on house prefer to sleep.
I know that I can't do anything if I stayed doing nothing but the feeling that my effort was lost even if I grind so hard keeps me thinking about what I'm doing. I already asked for help from my friends and known people but sadly some of them didn't see my chat, it's just sad that I've written an article here before about the people that I've helped before.
Now that I'm in burden, they are nowhere to be found, it's just sad and a lesson learned, maybe it's a wake-up call not to help too much, I feel so helpless right now, I don't know what to do nor what to act.
I am not compassionate about my status right now, I just want to share my feelings right now cause I feel like the world is unfair, I'm not like this before. I feel like college ruined my life, I also think that I would drop this subject cause I can't handle the financial matters of it but here I am believing that I can manage to save for it.
I really blame myself before for spending a lot on nonsense things, maybe if I have financial literacy before, I am not in this situation right now, sorry for the rant, I just want to express my feelings.
World Turns Down
It's been a year since the last time I live in lavish life, that's the time which I earned a lot of money in blogging and playing an NFT games. That was the time which I am always at Market market to eat and buy anything I want. In one week I spend 2k Php or 40 USD per week. One thing that I hate the most on myself is, treating my friends whatever they want, before I have this friend which struggling on his life.
His brother had tuberculosis and his mother is sick that's why he asked me helped and as a good friend I helped him a lot. I always treat him, give him money to buy viand for his family and many more. I didn't mind money before as long as I help cause I was thinking I have source of income. I didn't mind spending before cause it was my first time to earn thst huge amount of money.
If you don't believe me, here's the few transaction I've done before to cashout my money using coins.ph. I feel so pity for myself now while looking at those amount I wasted before. If and only if I saved those, maybe I'm a millionaire now.
However, there's a part of me saying that those money are not all wasted, it was used to help a friend and people around me. Maybe some of you knew already that I have a bestfriend which helped her a lot, she and her family are in difficult situation that's why I tried my best to help her wether it's financial or emotional.
Honestly, I am blaming myself for too much spending and not thinking about saving, before I was lack of financial literacy and got overwhelmed by the amount I have. But past is past and I learned a lot of lessons from my mistakes.
Now I am the one who's suffering and grinding a lot of save money to pay for my thesis, yes I am so dumb and I agree on it. I use to eat whatever I want before but now I am just imagining them hahaha. I believe that I'm at down of earth right now but I promise to get recover and at this moment I already learn how to save for my future.
One thing I really admire right now is those friend I helped before.
Before I'm the one who always treat them and now I'm the one who got broke and gladly they helped me and never abandoned me. One thing I learned is, money can buy anything but not good friends, in times of my fall they are present to help me, it's true that the more you give the more you received cause on my experience, I gave a lot and gadly I receive appreciation before and help now.
Kudos to them, I am so happy to befriend with them cause in times of good times and bad times, they are always there to help me.
Night Walk and Unwind
It's Sunday and I expected there are lots of joggers in heritage park but I'm used it. At first 300 meters of jogging, I already feel exhausted and dehydrated maybe due to shock on my body since I have no proper exercise for months. However, I manage to jog up to the golf course of the philippine army.
This is my outfit, I was wearing shorts with tshirt and jacket cause it's literally freezing cold jogging at night, the area is safe though cause the area was surrounded with military base and there are armies patrol in the area.
Photo above was taken approaching at Mc Kinley Hills, it was the entrance to those people who wants to enter BGC if you came from the east.
Every time I jogged, this was my favorite place all the time, the path was surrounded by plants and trees that makes it a way to nature, it was so calm and beautiful.
Finally, after 40 minutes of jog and walk I finally reach BGC, apologize if my photo are blurred, my tab hasn't good camera. By the way, BGC is such a nice and quiet place, drivers are very disciplined and the surroundings was filled with trees and plants proving that Taguig is innovative but still eco-friendly.
When I reached Bonifacio High Street I was surprised to see an event of Riot Games specifically Wild Rift. I saw a lot of cosplayer and there are lots of games for audience, sad to say I'm not a fond of Wild Rift cause I play mobile legends a lot.
This is how busy BGC is at weekends, there are lots of foreigners around but a lot of them are old, I saw some chicks but I think they are expensive to afford haha, seeing them drinking Starbucks questions my ability to talk to them.
After 10 minutes of resting and staying at BGC, I decide to go back home and walk again for 1 hour, while I was walking back home suddenly I feel cramps on my feet due to long walking, I rest for a while at side of the road then after that I go home.
That's my experience for today, just sad to say that I can't stay long at BGC cause I can feel hunger and I have no money on my pocket.
Cooking Sinigang in Dried Woods
Yesterday evening I went to the public market to buy ingredients for our viand, I was thinking to cook with soup that's why sinigang comes to my mind. I only bring 200 pesos which is enough for our dinner viand. I saw bangus that's why I picked one and pay it to the seller. When I got home, I was surprised that our stove runs off LPG fuel, my brother didn't tell me it was drained before I went to market.
I went outside to gather wood from our neighbors, there are lots of fallen branch trees that's why I picked them up and used them as fuel to make a fire. I am an expert on making fire using dried wood cause in our province before, I am the one who's cooking using dried wood.
I was cooking beside plants since our house is full of plants however I assure you that everything is safe and I always check the burning wood. As you can see in the photo above I simmer Bangus or milkfish together with onion and tomatoes, I forgot to buy pepper since it helps to remove the smell from fish.
It only took me 15 minutes to simmer milk fish unlike using a stove which took me 30 minutes, but before that, I prepare other ingredients that will be mixed with what I'm cooking. I already put tomato earlier but I added more to add more sour flavor then a green chili which is always present to all my dishes since it gives a spicy flavor and not easily get spoiled. Next is water spinach or kangkong in Tagalog in every type of sinigang, water spinach is always present since it adds flavor to sinigang.
Lastly, the most important ingredient of sinigang is a sinigang mix, it had a combination of tamarind and different spices that gives aroma and good taste to sinigang. It cost 19 pesos or 0.34 USD however it became expensive unlike before when it only cost 13 pesos, I can feel the effect of inflation and it really hurt on wallet.
I checked milkfish and see that it was soft already that's why I put all the remaining ingredients and simmer it for 3 minutes, I don't let water spinach cook too much that's why I immediately remove the pot from the fire. To avoid accidents, I killed the fire using water, I make sure that everything was put out.
And tadaa here's the final result, it's already served on my bowl since I feel so hungry, I tasted it and I can say that foods cooked using dried wood are better than those cooked using the stove.
Thesis Title Defended!
After all the sacrifices and sleepless nights, we finally manage to defend our thesis to panels, which gives us a lot of headaches and of course realizations regarding their recommendations and improvements for our thesis. Though we only defended chapters 1 to 3, we are still happy that our effort got praise from the panelist and remind us that it's going to be a long work. Sadly, the panel told us that we need to reduce our number of members since the department only required a maximum of 7 members per group and we are 10 members.
We need to decide to remove 3 members, another problem is the cost of our thesis project, I think we will exceed more than 100k PHP which is very costly, it's one our biggest problem since the member will reduce and cost is too high, the estimated contribution per members is 15k which is I don't know where to get. The panelist required us to buy an E-bike for the project for the future use if there are visitors who will come at school to demonstrate how the projects works. It's costly and pain in the ass, we have approximately 3 months to finish the thesis and the output product but right now we already faced a lot of dilemmas including where it will build.
Still we've manage to defend our thesis, even if it had lots of holes including the security measures and dilemmas that the project might encounter, we need to address it as time goes by. Another problem is the dimensions of the project that's why I'm here at university to look for a suitable place where the project build but I forgot to bring a measuring tape to measure the lot we choose. I beleive that we can face a lot of problems, for now I am going prepared for by trying to make solutions.
A Tough Time
I just want to share my difficulties right now, I've been busy for weeks due to school activities need to accomplish, being a third year college student isn't easy at all. I felt the burden of being a college student that drains me physically, mentally and financially. Literally, I forgot to look at myself due to so much busy, I am thin before but now I became more thinner, my pimples showed again that makes my face like moon however I don't care on my face since I'm so much busy on school. Imagine that we had thesis, project in Microcontroller and term test which need to accomplish within a week. I am mentally and physically exhausted, my body only moves by itself but my mind is nowhere to be found, I didn't enjoyed Christmas and New Year due to endless task I need to do. If you'll ask me what I do on X-mas then my answer would be thesis. This upcoming Jan 10 is our Title defense which made me more stressful, in addition with that, we had examination 3 days ago which I didn't review cause I have no time for that, I prioritize our project that need to accomplish.
It's our project which I focus, seeing that project makes me problematic since the connection is quite hard to follow, it's already assembled and had codes already but my problem is assembling the main components in order to run the whole program, I managed to finished it actually 2 days ago, it was our exam day but I didn't review and decide to do the project, gladly we finished it and manage to make it work. At 6 PM we passed it on our professor and didn't question our project.
That's the face of a stress student, atleast I manage to finish the project then the next problem would be our thesis which is very costly and hard to build. I already done the design of our thesis but the problem is the cost we need to buy the materials. Our estimated price for the project components is 100k pesos or 2000 USD which is very costly. I am problematic right now where to get that huge amount of money even though we are 10 in group and 10k pesos or 200 USD per person, it's still a burden for me cause I have no source of income right now, everything is on verge of collapse even me. I don't know where to get that huge amount of money, I am pressured to find money to atleast deposit on my contributions in our thesis but sadly I am very broke. I don't know what to do.
My plan is to borrow money from friends but I'm quite hesitant since I feel ashame, I can't ask money to my sister since we are also having financial problems. I don't know what to do, my mind is so tired, but I'm glad it didn't affect me and my academic life, I am still active in school activities and do our thesis. I am praying each night that there's atleast 20k beside me once I woke up but miracle didn't happen in real life. I feel pity for myself since I'm very broke however stopping or surrending isn't a choice, I already reached this far that's why I will continue this journey, maybe I just need companions in order to ease my burden and gladly I found one which motivates me everyday. I am hoping for an opportunity to come at me, that's why everytime there's a new source of income, I jump on it and try researching about it. I am also hoping that this 2023, a prosperity and wealth will possess on me cause I badly need it.
Some People are taking Advantage on Cashrain
We all know how popular cashrain is, it gives hope among BCH believers to earn BCH on different community cashrains. I am one of those users who are blessed to receive BCH on my wallet address. The platform was built to promote a social media sites, gain followers, subscribe on channel, promote projects in exchange of reward or cashrain to those who participate. The platform is the best way to gain an audience. But the sad truth is, some people are taking advantage the looseness of cashrain, lots of community I saw is promoting their twitter accounts with a certain post, there is a hundreds or thousand total cashrain as a reward which is promising to users that's why they participate instantly and hoping to get the jackpot but in the end, the community and cashrain is abandoned since they already gained followers to their social media accounts.
I don't tolerate this kind of act, I immediately unfollow the said twitter account then report it. Another method use by people who taking advantage cashrain is, posting a cashrain then delete a twitter post, they had promising total cashrain but once clicked like and retweet, the said post is already deleted, users got scammed since they follow on said community and follow on different social medias. My worries is, those people who taking advantage on cashrai n to gain followers is, they might use those high numbers of followers they had on their account to scam other people.
I hope that the developers will address that problem, I think one of the best solution is to let the community owners to prepare an amount that they will cashrain to their members, what I mean is, there's already BCH on the said post and once timer is done, it will automatically send it to the winners rather than waiting for owners to pay and scan. That's what I notice on cashrain. Overall I enjoy staying on that platform, I joined a lot of community and cashrain, I receive cents but as time goes by it will get bigger and bigger, maybe after a month I can save at least 10 USD, if I'm lucky enough and win a huge jackpot then it's gonna be different story.
Am I Ready to Fall Inlove Again?
Maybe some can find this article so cringe but I also felt the same way, why I am sharing this article to anyone who had no partner right? just kidding. The title seems like I didn't have a relationship for years right? and you are right. I am single for atleast 3 years since I prefer to focus on myself and goal but the main agenda for that is wait for my ex to comeback but years later, she already found a guy that loves her the most and they are also years in relationship. From that moment, I never push myself to find another love.
The pain of the past reminds me that I might got hurt again, I already shared this on my old article that my ex broke up with me on the day that my sister died due to brain tumor, I don't know what to feel that time, I am numb in everything, I can't feel anything and I don't know what to feel, there's only tears dripping on my cheeks. I promise myself not to feel that feeling again, after that I involved in other relationship but I didn't get serious on it that leads to break up. After failed relationships, I decide to focus on myself, it was 2019 of October when I explored earning opportunities including apps, website that pays money but ends up getting scammed or earn cents only.
Until I found read.cash, that time I put all my effort, time and perseverance on it. I enjoyed having a community surrounded by different people around the globe, meeting virtual friends here in the Philippines. I focus on earning money and can say I earned a lot and managed to sustain my needs. Until this time, I focus on earning and doesn't realize I'm single for years now. I always say I need to graduate first before flirt someone but seems like not all things accord to the plans.
Here it is, it happened last week which there are first year practice their dance on zumbalympics, until I saw this cute girl dancing smoothly along with their steps. I saw them a lot of times while I am staying at MTICS while doing our thesis. Until their final practice which I saw her on skirt and costume, I found it too cute that's why I said to myself I wanna know her. Until I saw an opportunity which we joined them in a volleyball game, I didn't know that she was the sister of my classmates boyfriend that's why I didn't get any difficulty in knowing her name.
When we are playing, I accidentally hit her and said sorry, but the truth is, I intentionally hit her hahah. Until such time which I asked her facebook name on my classmate and gave it to me. I send a friend request and she immediately accepted it. Can you believe that in just 3 days we had so much closure already? I don't know maybe it's because I am very comfortable to talk and also I joke a lot that's why people found me approachable and friendly.
I also confess my feelings and guess what I think she already fell, just an assume haha. I understand her priority, she told me that she wants to prioritize her study first same as mine that's why I promise to wait for her. I am immune to the word wait cause imagine that I wait for my ex to comeback for years but it didn't happen. Honestly, I am hesitant to dig in what called relationship and woo a girl cause a lot of negativities happening around me that might affect my actions and decision making, I am hoping that I am matured in what they called love.
Can't Feel the Presence of Christmas
Hola everyone, are you excited about the upcoming Christmas? maybe a lot of you had already prepared gifts for goddaughters and godsons. Well if you asked me that question then my answer if I am ready for Christmas is No, aside from personal matters there are also factors that hinder me from feeling the soul of this beautiful month cause I am so busy in life. One of the factors is that I am so busy in school that there is supposedly a year-end party for us students, but our organization didn't implement the plan. They have other plans for us that's why we ended up feel jealous to other courses who really enjoyed their year-end party.
Instead of enjoying the days before X-mas break, we are so busy completing and accomplishing our projects and proposals. Literally, there was no word break for us in third year. This is the most challenging part of my life which I need to prioritize my school activities first before myself, I am busy flourishing out chapter 1 to 3 in our thesis cause next year would be our title defense. In addition for that, I also feel stress yesterday since we pass our proposal to our professor. He rejected our proposal a lot of times that's why we keep revising it until he accepted it however it is very costly again. Imagine that I need to contribute for our thesis and then another contribution which drained me financially.
I don't know if you are on my situation, can you feel the same way? I feel like I'm gonna give up but I already traveled this far and giving up will just waste all my efforts and sacrifices, the only thing that motivates me to move on is a positive thinking that after all of this, I can now surpass 3rd year and move into 4th year which only attending 0JT and run papers for graduation. I hope the law of attraction will possess me and make those wishes come true.
Another factor is lack of money, who would feel weak once they have no money in their pockets? Well, I am, literally, I have no money in my pocket, it got drained due to endless payments in school. No matter how I grind I feel like my money got wasted for nothing, I really miss those days when I earned a lot and manage to pay for all necessary things but right now I feel like earning cents is hard as looking for unique stones in the seashore. 2022 is really not for me, I experience a lot of downs and my feeling is also what happened on market, it's still bloody and as of now it became more bloody. What a pleasant gift for all of us.
Despite all negativities happened to me still I am hoping for a merry Christmas, just sad to say that what I feel affects my yearly routine to accomplish 9 days of simbang gabi, maybe due to lack of interest and without companion, it leads to 2 days absence in Misa de Gallo. Maybe, tomorrow I'll attend, a friend of mine invited me to join them at night mass but I prefer to attend dawn mass cause I feel it'sbetter.
Practicality and Desire
Both words have the same meaning but different applications right? in this world achieving our desire is not bad, as long as we can accomplish it. What type of person you are? are you practical which you think about the future first rather than thinking YOLO? or are you the type of person who spends a lot today cause we don't know if there's tomorrow? Choosing between two is a hard decision but in the end, every decision we made is affiliated with consequences.
Living in this world is not easy at all, things aren't the same as before, as technology rises as time things became more expensive, we are living in a golden era in which everything is expensive from food, bills, anything which costs money, that is the reason why some people prefer to become more practical, the pandemic taught us to save but this 2022 it made us realize the importance of self-budget and saving. Though the average income of low and middle-class people is not higher than a thousand per day, it's not enough to sustain the needs of the family if parents had 3 or more children due to the inflation that we are experiencing right now.
Xmas is coming and we can say that we are not financially prepared for it due to lots of factors like the market right now crashing in virtual and real life. I admit that I am not prepared for it, If I'm the one who will decide maybe I need 1 more month before X-mas cause I'm broke right now, I have nothing to spare this Christmas due to endless bills I need to pay, in addition for that, I also spend a lot in school due to projects and thesis that's why I can say that this Christmas is not gonna merry for me.
That's why I decide to become practical rather than accomplishing my desire before I prefer to eat out every time I feel hungry but now it rarely happens that I eat outside but those cheap ones like pare which cost me 50 pesos only rather than before that I ate at MCdo which cost me a 150 pesos. Being practical is not bad especially if we have things to pay for that required us to save money. But sadly, I can't save due to the low profit I earn. It's not the same as before, in my read. cash it's luck to earn a dollar per day, in my NFT game, I earn 2 dollars per day if I complete 10 games unlike before when I can play unlimited, in cash rain I joined a lot of community and hoped for cash rains but sad to say I only earn cents and I'm lucky enough to earn 10 pesos per day.
Though those instances happen to me in when I need money luck doesn't possess me and I feel like I was unlucky this year. Hoping that next year everything will become fine, I have still debts need to pay and I feel ashamed to face them since I promise to pay them in a month but it's been 2 months right now, and I need to stay practical for now. I will set aside my desires for now cause I know I can accomplish them in the future, I know everything that happens to me right now is just a trial, it's a trial I need to pass to achieve a greater good.
An Overnight At Friends House
Last Tuesday, my groupmates in our thesis planned to have an overnight to finish chapter 1 of our thesis since it needed to be flourished since our professor will check it. I asked permission at our house and then immediately travel to FTI, it's already 6 PM, I thought a groupmate of mine is waiting inside the campus since he said he gonna wait for me but my classmates said he already left that's why I'm the only one who travel at my groupmate's house. I find a jeepney that travel across Rotonda Pasay, I found one and Immediately hop on it, it took almost an hour from FTI to Rotonda due to heavy bumper to bumper traffic, in addition there are lots of badjaos who's entering inside jeepneys then giving ampaos. The driver are really mad and shout them to go down.
After almost an hour I reached Rotonda then hop on a jeepney that had Libertad sign on it but I made a mistake since it's I hop on wrong jeepney, I immediately move out and I remember where the jeepneys to Libertad. I found a lot of them waiting then hop on it and told to the driver my destination. After 10 minutes, I finally found puregold and go down from the jeepney. I messaged my groupmates that I'm already there and they fetch me. I found the place amusing cause it's lively and MOA is walking distance from my friend's house.
We entered at my groupmate's room and I got amused at the computer set up, he had 2 computers and 1 laptop which he said used in gaming. I also see them busy finishing the chapter 3 of our thesis. I also start flourishing the chapter 2, honestly, I'm the only one who made our RRL, imagine that I need to look for RRL then RRS which 20 local studies and also 20 foreign studies. I was so stress to look for sources since I need to scrutinize every information I need to get. I went at the school library and the librarians there already knew me and accommodate me well. Everytime I'm entering at library they will say, ''Oh dito kana naman, as thesis ka?''. I will just respond to them a smile and nod.
I managed to finished our RRL and rephrased all of them to avoid plagiarism. That's the reason why my groupmates are mad at my other groupmates cause they have no contribution on paper, they gave few sources but it's not accurate on our topic. In the end, I'm the one who revised the said sources and add it on our paper. I never complain cause I enjoy looking for RRLs. I also enjoy doing it alone since I can focus if there's no people around me. Let's go back on our topic, my groupmates didn't let me do the conclusion and citation of RRL since I've done too much. They let other members do it and I'm glad they did.
Since I have nothing to do, I draw the design of our project using sketch up and I managed to design it even though it's not perfect cause it has no proper dimensions. I am busy drawing our designs when they decide to play mobile legends. We stopped doing our thesis and play one game. I am happy having bond on them since they are funny and there's no awkward moments with them.
At 12 AM they decide to buy a drink which is gin and juice however I feel crumble on my stomach that's why we decide to eat first before drinking cause it's bad if there's no food on stomach. We ate outside and dumbfounded how expensive their pares are, it cost me 75 pesos for a bowl of pares and 2 rice, in Taguig it only cost me 60 pesos but the flavor is good though and the fried rice is also delicious. After we ate, we go back inside and found them start drinking, they immediately gave us a shot. We continue doing our thesis while we are drinking, it's the best way to energize our brain they say haha.
After we finished our thesis, we are already drunk but we decide not to sleep and just play mobile legends, they accompany me up to mythical glory and I'm so happy that I finally reached MG after 11 thousand matches and 4 years of playing. It's pleasing on my eye seeing a shinny badge of mine. But we can't fight drowsiness that's why at 5 AM we all asleep and woke up at 9 AM in morning. I immediately fix myself since I need to leave and go home. It's such a fun experience with them. We managed to finished chapter 1 to 3 and also made me reach mythical glory.
Choosing Between Practicality or Self Pleasure
Before I jump on my topic let me share with you my experiences on cash rain so far, it's pretty remarkable to see different communities promoting their social media in the exchange for raining cash to their members. In my community named Jura Tempest Federation which I stated in my last article that was coming from an anime, so far it has 665 members and my Twitter account had 260 followers but I am not promoting anything maybe my Twitter account will be useful in the future once I have a freelance job that requires an audience.
On the website cashrain, I encountered a bug in which I cashrain a dollar to my 40 members in 3 hours, a lot of my members participated and after the timer runs out I pay using a bitcoin wallet. I was confused why my transaction is pending even though it takes only seconds to confirm a transaction in BCH. I checked the transaction in smart scan and my transaction is in the queue. I went back to my bitcoin wallet to check and it was confirmed but when I go back to cash rain, the event is still there, and once I click it shows I need to send it again.
I don't want to risks though cause every penny also matters to me. I checked the cashrain's discord channel and report a bug, this morning the moderator told me that the reward had been distributed to my members but not displaying on my dashboard, maybe it's a new bug they need to fix but they say they are already making action to fix it. Seems like I talk a lot, let's go back to my main topic which is choosing between practicality and self-pleasure.
A few days ago, our classroom had a meeting to have a year-end party in which we are going to have swimming in Panglao located in Laguna. They say it will be held on December 19-20, everyone is excited but some are hesitant to join due to factors like no money to contribute and there are lots of things to accomplish first before joining the said plan. I am one of those hesitant people who are thinking between practicality and self-pleasure. Honestly, I want to join in swimming and bond with my classmates but the fact is, I have nothing to contribute due to lack of money. I am broke right now and just surviving on my passive income.
Added to that, we have a thesis project that cost 100k in PHP since it was solar. I was thinking to become practical since there are lots of times when I can enjoy myself, maybe once I graduate I can swim whenever and wherever I want. Also, I feel like once I joined them in swimming maybe I can feel out of place since I knew only those who are in the circle of friends will join that's why I am also hesitant. Maybe I will choose to be practical for now since Christmas is coming and I need money to buy gifts for my crushes, just kidding. Of course, I want to save money to gift myself, I deserve a gift for myself for all the suffering I made right now in our thesis.
It's very stressful since I'm the only one who's making our RRL, once they complain about my work, then I will slap the paper on their faces hahaha, kidding again. How bout you, what's your plan for this Xmas are you going to choose your self-desire or stick to the fact that life is very hard and needs to become practical?
Building A Community in Cashrain
According to the website of cash rain, Cashrain is a platform where creators create communities for their members. People can send Bitcoin Cash (BCH) "rain" to the communities, and this BCH gets distributed randomly amongst the community members. The agenda of the said platform is simple yet full of opportunities. Cashrain based on my experience is a website founded by kimdotcom , a BCH enthusiast who greatly supports the platform which had community itself located at photo above. It was created as a tool to rain BCH via cash rain and cashbox that contains the amount of BCH sufficient for a limited number of participants included in the giveaway. If there are lots of users in the community then it's a matter of luck to receive the amount of BCH. https://cashrain.com/
Cashrain is a great opportunity to promote our social media accounts and get famous in an instant. All need to do is build a community then make a announcement about giveaway on twitter and paste it on your community, it includes the content and amount of reward that will fairly distributed to limited users or an owner of the said post could modify and made some jackpot prices.
The platform was introduced to me by a co player of mine and I immediately check how it works, the first time I connect my bitcoin wallet after a few minutes there's suddenly a BCH received on my wallet. I'm so happy to see it cause it's my first time after 4 months to receive BCH again exclude what I earn on read.cash. At first I can't understand how it works, I only join on random community and after minutes my notification pops. I am so happy to receive BCH from generous users. It's a matter of give and receive which owners of the community are able to promote their social medias with exchange of giving BCH to followers.
Due to excitement I also made my community which you can see above. It's original name was Joystick.club but I changed it since the developers of the said game is planning to create a real community for joystick which they can promote recent update about the game, it's one the best strategy to widen the possibility of game's growth and also to attract other users to play on the game. I changed it to Jura Tempest Federation which comes from my favorite anime. The said community of mine had 533 subscribers and I was able to attract members since I posted on twitter about a small amount of BCH I will cashrain, honestly I have nothing to promote but I tried to cashrain to test how it works and I'm so amused how many followers I gain in twitter and cashrain.
Anyone can create a community which any user are free to join as a member, there are big communities sponsored by whales which rains a huge amount of BCH. On mt community, I only rain low amount since I can't afford yet to rain large sum of money. For now, I can only give small amount but I promise once everything turns normal I will cashrain and cashbox on my community everyday.
Different Sources of Passive Income I will Recommend
Things before aren't the same in today's situation before we can live with a single side hustle but now we need to find multiple sources of income to generate a higher income. Right now I'm in a situation in which blogging isn't enough to earn that's why I explore the crypto space including NFT and play to earn games until I encounter a few of them that are legit. I was exploring Youtube looking for passive incomes but more are via invites and generate low income. Once I heard the word need invites and needs to invest then I doubt that it might be a scam.
For today's article, I'm gonna share with you my different sources of passive income that you may like, some play to earn, blogging, and one investment that I'm not sure is profitable or a scam. Without further ado let's start sharing my sources of income ranking them by ultimate legit to slightly doubt.
READ.CASH
First on the list is of course our very dear read.cash. I'm using this platform for almost 3 years if I'll include those spammed accounts. This platform helps me in lots of ways, it allowed me to build up myself, and it even boosts my confidence to interact with other users, meets a lot of virtual friends, build a strong community, and earn passive income which is so huge. Before I earn 5 to 40 dollars per article. We can say that this platform is a blessing to us cause we manage to afford the necessities and needs in our life.
Read. cash is also a well-built community that supports BCH and up until now, it's still operating despite predictions that it will go after 2 to 3 years. There's no doubt that a community built with a strong foundation will never crush by any crisis like what is happening right now. The market is very bloody but read. cash is still standing, though it gives low rewards the important is we got something than nothing.
JOYSTICK.CLUB
My second source of income is the joystick. club, I already shared a lot of times here about my experience with the joystick. club and I are sure that it was very legit. I am playing the game for almost a year and I manage to gain a huge profit from it. Its token is called JOY which you can earn by playing varieties of games in your interest. What I play the most is a joy but cross which I'm very good at.
The only downside of the game right now is, it's not the same as before, due to the continuous plummet of the market that affects JOY value, the developers don't have any other choice but to reduce the number of plays of 2 joybots per 5 games which is a nightmare to us players and gave us very low profit. It's the developers' action to address the problem of farming too much JOY that leads to a rapid reduction of token liquidity.
However, once the market became stable and everything will become okay I'm very sure that the game will bloom again and at that time players can play and earn profit again. If you want to play the game, you just need to buy at least 4 joybots which gave you 10 plays per day and a possible earning of 100 pesos. The cost of joy but is 500 JOY which if you want to buy 4 then you can spend at least 700 pesos.
CASHRAIN
I bet a lot of us had this website which was founded by Kim Dotcom, it's purpose is to rain or in other terms airdrop BCH to users in a community. I found this platform due to a recommendation from my co-player on telegram. I tried it yesterday and managed to accumulate 0.019 BCH as of today.
I can say this app is legit since the profit is directly received on the bitcoin wallet. Users just need to join communities, do the tasks and wait for the announcements. This website is another good source of passive income.
COINGRID APP
The third source that I want to recommend is this game which is very cute and enjoyable to play. At first, I doubt that this game is legit but I saw their governance token in Coingecko and it had a price already of 0.037 USD or an estimated 2 pesos. The game is very fun to play. There are two modes in gameplay which is an adventure in which you can earn gold and you can acquire characters that can be used in-the game.
To gain their utility token which is CGP, you need to play in match mode which you will need to compete with other players in a simple game yet stressful. I tried to swap CGP to SKP and I successfully made it though I didn't try yet to transfer the token to my metamask address since its network is Polygon Matic, I need at least 1000 SKP to transfer.
BITCOIN MINER
I'm not sure if this is legit but I have faith this one is legit since it had a community discord composed of thousands of players. What I love about this app is, it's not easy money, a player needs to mine satoshi in the game. I've been playing this game for 4 days and I think I have 20 pesos profit from it. Though I didn't try yet to withdraw I'm hoping it's legit cause a simple amount of profit will be added to my savings.
APOWER
Lastly, this website is called A power which a user needs to invest. I didn't invest in this one, I'm just using their free 500 pesos which can be used to invest then after 30 days it will go back to the company. To continue the process, users need to invest as low as 500 pesos which had no assurance that they can withdraw or not. However, there's nothing I can afford to lose since it's free for now.
I'm just worried cause like what happens to Hero Mining, it runs and leaves those investors in tears and regrets since they invest a lot of money in it. I am not recommending investing in this one but you can try their free 500 peso investment.
That would be all, hoping that you learn something and try those legit apps I recommended.
Read.Cash A half and Year Ago, Really Miss those Days
Who will never forget those days when we are prospered by the generosity of our very own Rusty. Waking up every morning having a lot of notifications saying that the random rewarder tipped us cents which made us jump out of joy. Those days are so blessed to receive of good comments and accumulate income from our effort and time. I saw a lot of success of read.cash, I saw how users here able to built a house, buy new gadgets, sustain their family and personal needs, buy their own laptops, and even help other people in needs due to profit they earned while blogging. It's such a prosperous time for us.
In my experience as I look at my history of all the income I earned I was dumbfounded to see that for almost 2 years of reading and publishing I managed to earn 100 BCH which is more than 600k in current value and if BCH was at 30k then I'm a millionaire but sadly I was not that smart to use what I earned in investment or buy assets in order to grow my money, it's such a thing that I dream to happen. If only I got powers to go back time then I'll definitely save my money and make it grow.
Anyways, it's such a tragedy when BCH suddenly drops due to the issue of crypto ban in China which starts the crypto winter that up until now doesn't stop. The month of April 2021 is year for BCH which reached it's ATH if I'm not mistaken but suddenly it drops to the lowest which made a lot of holders problematic and some are depressed cause almost 70% of assets was vanished due to market dip.
As of now everything still down and it also affect my favorite platform. I slightly feel the excitement on users every time they publish an article unlike before that users are very active to engage in community. But now seems like everything had change, users I knew before no longer active here on read.cash maybe due to the reason of absence of rusty. I'm just sad yet thankful cause this platform never abandon it's user despite of bloody market still it gived reward to active users.
Read.cash is still alive after more than 2 years of operation, it proves that everyone can own by their effort and time. This platform teach me the importance of communication and also this gave me an opportunity to improve myself. I am worried before about my passion until I discover read.cash and made me realize that my passion is on writing. I just want to share that I made my novel my own and I titled it When Death Fell Inlove to Life it's one of my novel I published chapter by chapter here on read.cash.
In almost 2 years of being a user here I already published hundreds of articles and all of them are blessed by rusty. My highest profit before is 30 USD in a single article, some are so blessed they manage to earn 100 USD per day and there's a user who earned 10000 USD from sir Marc. It's such a nice event I want to experience again, maybe 1 or 2 years from now this bear run will end and BCH will pump again. In that moment read.cash will also grow and the community will become more active.
That's one of my wishes this X-mas I am hoping that in the end of the year, everyone will become happy and feel joy in their hearts again once they saw that their portfolio is increased ten folds. In that moment they will accomplish their plans in using their savings. On my own, once I saved enough money, I will invest it on government issued investment like on Pagibig MP2, Ginvest, maybe on some NFT games and booming tokens, etc. I will promise not to go back on my old act which spending too much money that in the end nothing remains on me.
A Very Tiring Day
This is a very tiring day for me, I am really exhausted due to continuous biking since I'm busy on my academics and recovering my lost ID. I leave the house at 11 AM since I'm planning to get a new school ID since it got lost last week and I really thought it's easy to get a new one. I don't know where I lost it. I look in wherever inside our house but I can't find it. I remember I went at Arca South and stay at the field of grass, maybe that's the time I left it there but I am hoping someone will contact me but until now it's nowhere to be found.
That's why this morning I went inside the campus then went to library thinking that it's easy to get a new ID but my expectations are different since there are lots of process in order to have a replacement ID. The librarian told me that I need to go in OSA to have a copy of COR then go to rotary club to file a affidavit of lost of my school ID. I was dumbfounded by what I heard since it's gonna be a long process. After I leave from OSA, I immediately get out from the campus even if I have class at 2 PM.
Gladly, I have my bike that's why it's easier to go in any place that i want. I went in FTI since the OSA recommend there's a rotary club there. I was lost in Arca looking for the office of Rotary, I asked a lot of guards until I found the office. I enter then found a line of people that's why I wait for my turn. It's just an affidavit of lost but I was surprised how much it cost. A two copies of affidavit of lost cost 250 pesos but the lady feel remorse on me that's why she cost me 200 until it became 150. I really thought it was free but I think it's true that there's nothing free in this world since there was a signature of an attorney on my affidavit.
I finished the transaction with drained money cause I also bought a new shoes of mine cause I feel pity on my shoes which is already wrecked. * can't buy new before due to less income I accumulate. I attend the class then at 4PM I go home to eat since my house is near on university and the foods in canteen in too expensive. At 5:30 PM I return in university to attend my evening class but suddenly our professor got mad to my classmate cause they on and off the lights. We done nothing but to raise our hands in attendance then our professor leaves.
Currently, I was here at Arca South making this article and you can't believe what I'm gonna share. Suddenly this cat come near at me and sitted at my lap. Maybe she new I'm a kind person and a cat lover, well I'm really a cat lover and I find this too cute. Or maybe the cat knew that I was tired this day that's why she want want make me relax and feel happy. I think animals really understand what we feel. Later I'll go home since I need need grind on Joystick.club for now I'll enjoy watching other people playing here at practicing their dances.

Am I Learning How to Save Money?
This is the month which taught us the importance of money, we are on situation right now which we are struggling to earn income to our different hassle due to different factors like market volatility and lose of motivation. We are in situation which collapse are everywhere that affects the market and also affects our earning. It's been half a year since the market crashed, some predict that it will fly again in December but seems like it didn't happen. Now the crisis is everywhere in virtual and real world. We didn't expect that this will happen, what I mean is BCH will plummet lower than hundred bucks, but this is the reality which everything will fall as time goes by. What most important is to save for the future.
But the problem is, is it worth it to save even though the market is in bloody condition right now? Like yes you saved a lot of BCH a year ago but now your asset plummet by 60% and its a huge loss. If not crypto, is it recommendable to save on fiat? What I mean is saving on your own without getting interest, this might sound advantageous but the truth is, inflation will beat our savings, as time goes by the prices will go up and our fiat money is loosing its value. Maybe if you have a million right now saved in your own bank but 5 years later your 1 million might only worth a brand new IPhone.
No matter what we do there's a problem everywhere so what's the essence of saving money? This is my mindset before until I realized that I didn't save money before and now I'm suffering. Literally, I earn cents in my sidelines and it's not enough to sustain needs in school and personal. It's considered to be luck if I earn 2 dollars a day unlike before that I earned a lot in different sidelines. I miss those days, hoping that it will back as soon as possible cause I have lots of things to pay and need to buy.
This past few days, I notice something on me, I feel like I'm different person cause I prefer to save rather than spending, unless necessary like what I did this past weekdays which I bring my own food in school so that I won't buy at canteen that cost a lot, imagine a one order of rice and viand cost 70 pesos which is so costly. I decide to bring my own food and I can say I saved money and also feel satisfied on what I ate. Also, I use the technique of gathering foods around the room to survive hahaha. Literally, I'm approaching my classmate and talk with them while my fingers are already at their junk foods hahaha. Lesson learned if you want to survive in this world then don't hesitate to use the technique.
In addition with that, before I always do a solo eating at fast food restaurants if my classmates don't have plan to hangout. I always went to SM Bicutan, BGC or Market Market just to hangout and eat foods. This past few days, even if I have still money to spend, I prefer to hangout without spending money, though there are times I was tempt to eat, I more prefer to eat cheap like in Paresan which only cost 50 pesos with unli sabaw. See, I slowly learn the art of saving money since I have lots of priorities need to pay. Like in our thesis which we will spend 100k PHP for the entire project and every members need to contribute 10k which made me problematic how to get it. That's why I awaken from my old perception to save money for those purposes.
To strengthen my evidence of saving money, I was roaming around Arca South last Friday and I am planning to continue our RRL in one of the table at Night Market which offers different kinds of food. I am thinking if I could buy foods and drinks while doing our research but suddenly i remember that I need to save money that's why I ended up in a decision to go home and just eat there. It also gave me a lot of time to do our RRL and as of now, I finished our 20 RRS and only 9 left on our RRL, it's so stressful but manageable as long as I have time management. That's it for today guys, sorry if my article is messy, I already forgot how to construct formal writing.
What's the Purpose?
Have you ever questioned your existence on this planet? Like what's the purpose why we are living here? Are we deserved to be in this big opportunities? Soemtimes we are questioning our existence due to problems that we are facing. Before we are so optimistic to plan different goals we had, we had so much plan for ourselves and for our loved once but as time goes by and we encounter a lot of difficulties. We start questioning what's the purpose of all of this, are we living just to survive or we are still living to reach the dreams and goals we set. It's hard to decide nowadays due to certain dilemmas.
We humans aren't perfect and this life has lots of problems, it's normal that we can encounter a lot of problems that will tear us apart but those problem can have a solution and manage to solve it however there are times that after we solve one problem then here comes another that will challenge us. After we solve it then another problem will come, it's like an endless puzzle we need to solve while we are at the center of the maze which we also looking for a way to get out. It's like you are holding 20 pounds of rocks then there's another batch of rocks added on your shoulder. If your on that situation are you still gonna carry those rocks?
It's a representation which once we are on situation that we only solve countless problems, we start giving up and question what's the purpose of all of this? Why I'm thriving for things that I didn't get anything. Until such moment that we gave up that goal and lose hope until such time that we forgot to pursue goals again. This may sounds negative but this is happening to me right now. Before I really love to put goals on me like making plans for my future by saving money and grind more in crpyto related stuff.
However, those goals crushed one by one as the market also crashed. Just imagine that your assets got drained not by spending but due to continuous dip of the market. I start loosing hope to the point that I pull out my assets even if I don't want it due to things I need to pay in school and personal. I feel weak right now, I don't know what to do, I am afraid to invest in other crpyto stuff due to fear of rug pull. I also trying to explore other P2E games but I'm afraid to invest due to lots of issues happening right now on crpyto market. Some are investment related stuff but I can't afford to invest due to high returns they are promising. Like you will invest a thousand then in a month you'll pay out 20k Pesos which is suspicious right.
When it comes to my academics, I lose hope since no matter how much 8 try to understand those complicated coding but still it's so hard to swallow, everytime we have test, I am lost once our professor gave us a task to assemble a code for a certain program that was given. Somehow I understand the basics but it's still grueling to know that you can't understand a certain discussion like questioning If I deserve to be in this course. Don't judge me guys, I am in situation which I am questioning everything, I lose my motivation, I lose my hope and I don't know where I could find it again.
First Time Cycling at BGC-Taguig
Good day everyone, so I have something to share with you this day. I am very tired from what I'm doing this morning, so this morning I went to the library to check different studies in regards to the topic that we had entitled Solar Powered E-Bike Charging Station which explains itself what the project is all about. I browsed every study I found related to our research and looked for their results and discussion or a conclusion to add to our RRLs or Review of Related Literature and Studies with citations to avoid plagiarism and show some respect to the original researcher. I'm dying with these RRLs since I need to look for dozens of studies to support our credentials.
In addition, the project itself is stressful to the bones, from the prices of materials to canvasing of components, assembling, computation, and even the amount of sun needed for the battery to get fully charged, this is a total disaster for us, even our leader is stressful. We don't know how to start but gratefully we have lots of bases and there are already projects like this built in public places like in Pasig where there's a charging station stand for E-bikes.
After that I enter on our room to attend to our subject in Electropneumatic which also makes my head dizzy, our professor gave us a task to simulate the given problem which can be performed via actual or simulation using fluid sim. I don't want to start yet that's why I used my laptop to do the other task which makes me more problematic with how to run the circuit. I already called my professor to check what was wrong and in the end, he can't even distinguish what's the problem in the circuit, he recommended I use a 5 to 3-way double solenoid valve but in the end the circuit still unfunctional.
Anyways, to relieve the stress I have, I decide to do some cycling, as much as possible, I want to enhance my skill in cycling that's why I keep practicing and this evening, I decide to ride on my bicycle up to BGC from TUP-Taguig. I was thinking to use the route of FTI but I am hesitant due to heavy traffic that's why I use the road along C5 up to heritage then that's the time I fasten my RPM to run fast on the bicycle lane. At 7 PM, I finally reached BGC High Street and I was dumbfounded from what I witness.
There's a giant Christmas tree displayed at the corner of the street and it was very beautiful and colorful, there's also music playing at the speaker which people can feel the ambiance of Christmas. Sorry If my camera isn't that clear. It's been a month since the last time I visit here and there are lots of changes in surroundings.
Sorry if the photo is blurry, my camera can't focus due to lots of people passing by, but as you can see at the background, there's already a 3D big screen which makes the advertisement looks fantastic, the graphics displayed is so cool which characters might go out from the screen like what we seen on videos from China. It's so amazing.
I am always jogging there at BGC but I'm new at cycling that's why I don't know the routes. I also need to follow the cars passing by just to reassure that I'm on right way but I have situation a while ago which I need to switch a lane, I already gave a signal to motors that I'll cross the lane but when I pass then a couple shouts at me like they own the road, I already gave a sign that I will cross yet they didn't slow down their pace. It's such a stressful day but fun, that would be all, thank you everyone and good night.
Everything's Tumble...What's the Plan?
I really though that this year as X-mas approaching everything will slowly become merry but the reality differs from what I imagine. Everything fell down, from my personals, to academicss, to crypto space as in everyone tumbled.
As of now I don't know what to do. I experienced this before but this time it become worser to the point that I don't know what to do and what's my plan. I feel demotivated to grind due to lots of bad news happening on my surrounding, no matter how much I grind in this life, there's nothing happen and I think I only exert effort just to survive.
In my academics, literally I'm lost right now specially on my major subjects that compose of ROM and RAM which I always lost in making codes, though I understand few but still it's very challenging to do. Another thing is on our thesis, now that I have no source of income.
The initial cost of our thesis is 100k PHP since it involves solar which is very costly. I am currently busy on making our RRLs though we are five to make RRLs still I want to ensure that we have choices once one of the citation didn't fit on the study.
Also, I am problematic what to do since this coming Monday, we have a try out on our badminton but I'm hesitant to attend since I got absent last meeting on my subject and once I ask permission to try out then my professor might got mad at me.
My plan would be attending his class for meantime and then at the time where I'm gonna play then I'll ask permission to my professor and give my valid reason. I also messaged our head in tryout but sadly, he didn't respond since I asked if he can moved my slot into last so that I can still attend the class.
When it comes to my personal life, like what I've said I'm broke right now, I'm not sure if it's wrong decision to pull out my assets before since the market really crashed right now but as of now I have no savings, literally it got drained due to continuous bloody market.
I have debt need to pay specially on my bike since I promised to the owner to pay it at November 15 and now it's 13. Maybe I'll ask if I could pay it before the end of the month since I have no money right now, maybe she can understand it.
Finally, I am problematic here on crypto space cause everything turns red, my JOY holding doesn't increase and rapidly dips it's value as of writing, it's value decrease to 0.007 USD which is so low and the game is on verge of collapse.
Also, the SBCH chain doesn't have funds despite the fact that it was the mainchain of the game. The reason of developers is, the liquidity drained fast since players only farming JOY but I think it's due to different factors like FUD that makes holders panic and selling their assets.
Also, the developers had no concrete plan in order to create a solution but rather planning to expand into more chains. Though expanding is better but it doesn't solved the current problem which is maintaining the liquidity of it's token.
I am not playing right now due to required high score but rather going back to my original side hassle which is publishing here on read and Hive. Though I didn't nice reward here and Hive but still I'm happy that I can unleash my frustrations here share my experiences.
First Time at SM MOA
I am living here on Manila for almost 8 years and MOA is one ride from my house but I never tried to visit it until a cousin of mine messaged me that she's here on Taguig at her Tita's house cause there's a celebration. She told me she wants to hangout, it's been 5 months since the last time we bonded that's why it's a perfect time to see her again. In order to make sure that I'll accompany here. She told me that there's another girl who will join us. I asked if that girl is single and cute, then she said yes and of course without further ado, I joined them.
It was October 30 and it's vacation due to Undas. My cousin, came to our house and fetch me then we went to Dreamland to fetch our companion. When I saw that girl, I can't avoid looking at her cause she's literally cute in any form, her hair, her clothes, her voice is a complete package of cuteness. We ride a tricycle up to FTI cause it's where we gonna ride a jeep straight to MOA. The fee is only 20 Pesos and the journey takes 30 minutes before we reached the terminal.
We go out from the jeep and tour the entrance. MOA is so massive, it was surrounded by lots of buildings and shopping malls, the whole surrounding is MOA but there's a specific place where people come and that is seaside which there are lots of rides to choose.
Before we roam around the vicinity, we stayed first at the seaside and admire the beauty of the ocean. It's been 4 years since the last time I saw an ocean thats why I find it cool to see again. I saw a lot of fishing vessels around maybe catching a lot of fish. The surrounding is slightly clean unlike before cause there are still trashes hiding on the rocks.
It's so nice to see the view, of course there are lots of beautiful ladies around that makes the scenery more beautiful. After that, we roam around and look for some activity to do, they want to buy ticket for rides but they are afraid to hop on specially on those extreme rides like dream twister and vikings. We are planning to ride on ferris wheel but it's gonna be boring since it rotates very slow.
This is how MOA specifically the ferris wheel view at night, the place is very crowded but there are still places to enjoy at that time we just got finished riding on pirate ship. Anyway, at that time we are eating the foods we bought, literally the prices of foods there are so expensive but worth it due to its deliciousness specially the buko juice. By the way, I'm gonna tell you our experience on pirate ship, also known as vikings. The ladies doesn't want to try it but in the end I convinced them. It's also my first time to ride on vikings and I feel nothing. When we got hop on the ship, other people start screaming even though it's not yet started.
Until the ship starts moving up and down until it rise to atleast 45 degrees. The most exciting part is, my companions almost got unconscious specially my cousin which almost got pass out. The ride takes almost 10 minutes until the ride stopped. The feeling is so happy and enjoy since it's my first time to see MOA and hop on the rides. After that, we got home at 9 PM then I accompany them up to terminal of tricycle then I go back home.
Coingrid: Play to Earn NFT Game
According to Google PlayStore, CoinGrid is an Easy & Enjoyable Casual game that you can enjoy in a simple 1-2 minute play, where you can go on an adventure with cute and cool characters, save friends, and grow through confrontation. It consists of single-player (Adventure) mode and multi-player (Match) modes, anyone can play lightly without stress with an easy and convenient interface and simple progression, but sometimes it requires a lot of tension and immersion to clear the stage.
The game is very simple to play it consist of different games which you can earn coins and their utility token which is CGI. I feel excited while playing this game due to it's smooth gameplay and cute graphic, literally it was so cute to play.
If you gonna visit their website, you can see the roadmap of their project, usually it was started on 2018 and the game was released last August of 2022. Their governance token which is SKP is listed on coinmarketcap.com which had value of 0.031 USD, that increased 10% percent within 24 hours. It shows that a lot of people saw a great potential of this game. Last October, the swapping of of CGP to SKP is implemented and players can only swap every Thursday 8:00 AM UTC. However, withdrawal wasn't on the plan since until now the developers didn't open the withdrawal yet. Then on November this month, they will start minting NFTs that you can get by playing Adventure on the game. Then they will also launch market place which players we're able to buy NFTs to be used in the game. Then trading system of NFT will also implement this November.
Lastly, on December, they will open withdrawal of SKP which means players can now cashout their SKP token, players are predicting that the value of SKP will rapidly increase as December is coming. As of now, I encourage a lot of people to try play this game, it's a play to earn game which you don't need to spend penny in order to buy NFTs, as long as early it's better to avail free characters since once the game is stabilized then players will need to buy or mint NFTs in order to play.
Adventure Mode
Sadly, I was run out of play on adventure mode since I finished playing the whole level and the adventure mode resets every Wednesday 5:00 AM UTC. I'll describe it for you to understand, it's like a game which you need to jump on ice and logs in order to gather coins, gems and save other character. In every play there's a possibility you can save a character which you can buy for 1500 CGI, I'll explain later how to accumulate CGI. Every character has their own roulette power and coin percentage. In beginners, you can get default character with roulette power of 50 and gold increase of 30%. The higher your character class is, the greater gold increase you can have.
Match Mode
The games are very easy specially on this one, easy but tricky, I mean you need to compete with other players and this required a luck. Every players need to pick a slot which coins are available, if your lucky enough then you can pick a slot which you have no companions since you can solo the entire coin on that slot. The tricks on this one is, the higher the class is the higher of potential to win the match. It is where you can get CGI which you can swap it TO SKP.
Characters
You can get characters via playing Adventure mode, as you can see I have class S character with 895% additional gold and 776 roulette power, this is a absolute monster character however, it's hard to accumulate bananas which can be use to feed the characters. Every characters can be bought using CGI that cost 1500. However if your lucky enough, you can get a class B to SS characters.
Conclusion
Overall, this is a fun game to play, it is full of cute things and nothing to worries even the game will rug pull since I didn't release any penny as investment to the game. For now, I will accumulate more CGI in order to swap it to SKP, hoping that it's value will increase to its maximum potential.
Attending Mini Concert of Mayonnaise
Hi everyone, it's me chikakiku, it's been weeks since the last time I post an article here. I'm really busy on my personal and academic schedule to the point that I forgot to do my side hustles. Let's move on on that, it's been days since Mayonnaise perform their songs in Market market Taguig and we had so much fun sing along with them. Before that, we had face to face class to attend at afternoon which we need to perform our activities whether actual or simulation.
I'm not that good in actual since it consist of different apparatus like solenoid valves, power supply, wires, etc. That's why I choose to perform on software simulator cause it's more easy. I draw activity 1 to 6 but due to my unlucky day, I picked activity 7 which I don't know how to draw that's why I asked help from my classmates and I'm glad they gave me a procedure how to do it that's why in the end, I manage to draw and let my professor inspect my work.
But the problem is, there something missing and that's the limit switch which act as a sensor to limit the cylinder rod after reaching the end. I'm glad I finish it with single bit of error and I got good scores on it. After that, I went on our gymnasium since it's where my friends hanging out watching basketball game of my section to other course.
After 30 minutes, they decide to go out since it's already 4:30 in afternoon and we gonna go to Market Market to watch different bands performing their songs and cover. We rode a jeep from FTI to market market and we had smooth travel, we reached market market at 5 PM and we are dumbfounded by what we witness since there are lots of people around specially on first floor cause they are waiting for different performances of bands.
We can't find any spot to watch until we saw some spaces on 3rd floor that's why we hop on elevator and go to 3rd floor which other people are also waiting. We stood at other people's back cause it was so crowded but we manage to take photos and even see the stage.
I accompanied my two classmates, sadly, some didn't join us cause they have other plan which is to drink alcohol on my classmates house. Despite of that event, we still manage to have fun 3 of us. We waited atleast 30 minutes before the first band perform their song which is 647. I am not familiar with their songs that's why people can only watch and support them but when they are covering songs familiar on people's ear then it's time that the crowd will sing a long and jam with them. The other performers are Madeline which they had cute vocalist and a woman drummer.
They perform such sad song that even I don't know it's tone, the emotions in the song really touch my heart. Other performers like Night in Alaska and Mojofly also perform their rock songs until such moment when the crowd cheers cause the vocalist of mayonnaise enters on stage and start speaking.
The crowd is on hype since they are connecting with the audience and asking their personal status like love, problems and pain. Even me, I shout all the pain in my heart and I am not afraid to do so cause lots of people also shouting. The noise became more louder as they start performing their songs. I am so familiar with their pieces specially on songs like Tayo na lang Dalawa and Jopay which we jam and jump along with the song.
After the event, my voice is already drained and husky due to so much shouting. I enjoyed the event a lot, I want to attend this more type of mini concert in the future, maybe together with my girlfriend or maybe with friends. I want to unleash my pain and problems even for a seconds and this type of events is really one the best moment for that.
