short tale: It was a mistake The school bells ring, signaling for the end of classes, Hanz, a very energetic and usually giddy person was somehow looking quite sunken than how she would usually be on any other day. She had been completely stuck in thought for quite a while now and it seemed like today was the worst she's been in days. She slowly stood up from her seat once the bell had rang and proceeded to the classroom she'd often frequented recently. "You can do this" she…

There is this man i love.. As the title suggests, i love someone. it hasn't been that long since we've met, it's only been a year and a half? I've liked him since we've met and it only grew more and more over time. what i thought had been a simple wish to cheer him up from depression had turned into an undeniable urge to protect him and make him happy. it still holds true after so many rejections, after so many times that he avoids the topic. I don't think it should be…

Never knew we could share art so I've been around for two days or so here and it never occurred to me that art could be shared in any way except for having it as an article cover so today, I'd like to share my skills at least for the pen since I don't really have materials to draw anymore i wonder if this appears clear enough but i never did finish this one. never even had the courage to give it to my friend and then this is what I've been working on recently

Just realized something I've been thinking about something since i joined here and the platform definitely has that bubble- something feels that i used to write in back when i was in my earlier years of highschool. that site used to earn me a lot just by elaborating about my day and what i learned in school. super childish approach but hey, it got me extra to eat fast food a lot. I think the only reason i had to stop was because my parents found out about it and they thought…

Primrose: Ch.1 Primrose means together forever in the language of flowers. Quite fitting with the idea of angels. Anyways, I never gave the characters names as every soul will change with every reincarnation This is just the first chapter, the female POV · The female POV Angelology, the study of angels in the field of theology. To most, it was merely a course to be treaded lightly in their theology and/or philosophy studies, but as for the case of my love, it was somewhat an…

How you were the night sky In all my life, I was certain of one thing. I hated the night sky. I hated how the stars almost seemed to tease as they appear so bright and unreachable like certain people. Amongst those people was you. You who appeared so bright to me yet were so out of reach. Even when you said you were mine, why is it that you still felt so distant? Or was it me who was distant? Was I so used to being alone? You did say I was like the moon in a way, always…

Old sketches to share I was cleaning up my shelf today to amke space for some more academic papers i needed to go through and i stumbled upon my collection of old sketchpads. It made me give up cleaning for a good hour but the memories were still there with every flip of the pages. I came to realize that i actually draw with pens way too much but hey, i always draw while i was in class back in highschool up until college and pens were the most available item i could get my…

An old portrait This is another portrait I've been meaning to show people since I'm quite happy with how thin I've gotten This is the only portrait I've ever drawn of myself way back from 2015? 2016? I couldn't really remember but what i do remember was that i spent over two hours in front of the mirror, just trying to get my own features right. It was such a struggle that i couldn't even draw my own face because i rarely looked in front of a mirror

A drive to Rizal, Philippines Being a city kid and all, going on long drives outside the metro always excite me. There's never enough greenery in the metro to even compare to some of the provinces here. Specially in Rizal, it's one of the closest areas near metro manila that has still managed to maintain and preserve much of its beauty. In this trip we went to a sort of local music festival(?) Somewhere in Baras, one of the towns in Rizal and the sight with each mountain we…

Thoughts on the update So yesterday, the update was put into effect by the read.cash team and i spent the entire day just observing the changes it took on everyone. For the communities, i observed that a lot of moderators really did lose motivation with this significant change and much more so with the users who had fully hoped to make some extra here. The screening for each article grew stricter as well but with that change, i actually appreciated it. The quality of the…

Primrose: Ch. 2 This is the first chapter for this series **Primrose ch.1** https://read.cash/@Hanzell/primrose-ch1-79ff347e Male’s POV Minor angels such as I were, from the time of creation, bounded to such humans. We had been tasked to protect and watch over them as their souls journeyed through the earth with as many reincarnations as they were allowed before their souls would eventually reach a point of final judgement. It was… quite burdensome, in all honesty. And quite…

A sneak peek of me I'm not quite sure as to what extent i should be doing this but for starters, I go by Hanzell. It's what I'm called outside of the house. My full name is Mary Hanzell Villaviza, quite a long name but i love my name, it's quite unique. As to why I'm here... well, i do enjoy writing, I just haven't found a platform suited for me. I've tried quite a few before but here is similar to the one i worked with when i was young. I'm able to show more photos here.…

My furbabies! Sad to see that this side of the community is not that explored. But anyways, hello! I just wanted to show off the furbabies I've been raising these past 4 years and introduce them to you! Forgive me but i can't fix the photo orientation no matter how i do it. This is sebastion, yes he's a shih tzu and his shaved self is finally furry again ^^ his name was based off an anime character and this here was his first time in a cemetery since we went to see my…

Intro to drawing with pens I'm pretty sure all of use use pens and more so, use them to doodle random things out so i figured, it would be good to give out points that will maybe help? Since i mostly draw with pens because it's cheap, easy to find, easy to use, very neat and it has that certain depth you can only get from ink and charcoal. It really makes details pop out. The downside though is that it's permanent and really hard to start off with compared to other mediums.…

Old sketchpad stuff The lack of motivation I've had in these past few days really had me getting deep in the dumps. Unfortunately I'm still in a slump so I've decided to show more of the old sketches i used to make before i became busy and all So the orientation still won't cooperate with me but this was a quick sketch of when i went hiking with my cousin My personal twist on the vase of sunflowers always featured in artbooks. Though i still think i could've made it better…

A soon to be extinct delicacy Today I want to talk about a favorite local delicacy of mine since I remember having attended a seminar about its gene sequencing and about its preservation The tawilis, scientific name: *Sardinella tawillis,* Is the only freshwater sardinella specie found in the world and as of now. They can only be found in the lake that surrounds Taal volcano, which is situated here in the Philippines. Areas that surround the lake had made the fish into a…

Declining skills I've been in a sort of slump on sketching these days, probably because of the weather but most likely due to my lack of practice. Over the weekend i have been trying to sketch out scenes that are in my phone gallery. Although I've only tried two but i think my sketching skills have declined or maybe it could be attributed to muscle memory since all I've been sketching in the past two years were nothing but portraits. It's quite a downer, to think my hand…

Microbe Appreciation pt. 1 It's about time to give these minuscule creatures the love and attention they deserve! Most of us were taught that bacteria and fungi cause nothing but diseases and are considered to be germs. While it may be true for most cases of virus without vaccines, it does not hold entirely true for the aforementioned species. You see, microbes live in and on everything that surrounds you so it is impossible to entirely wipe out these creatures. For part 1…

Freewriting: Self-motivation I wasn't sure where to do this in? If it should be a short post or not so i made it into an article. I also played a 10 minute YouTube clip so that helps with the timing idea? https://youtu.be/UAPNfKADA7Y Self motivation. Must include: cooking, laughing out loud, cps (characters per second in this case) Self motivation has never come that easy for me, most of the time my motivation is inspired by people and/or my environment. If it’s motivation…
@Hanzell
To get infected or stay inside This is just a rant because I am honestly frustrated in all aspects about what's happening to my country. The government is honestly soing nothing but making everyone stay inside. Their best measure for this pandemic is increasing military personnels on guard and risking their lives aside from the already overexposed and overworked healthcare workers who, instead of receiving help via increased hazard pays and overtime pay get nothing.…
