The Enchanting Shing Mun Reservoir **May 1, 2022** Hong Kong has a lot of beautiful country parks to visit for free, and that includes reservoirs. In more than four years of living here, I never visited any reservoir. Probably because I only imagine water dams and lakes there. But one gloomy Sunday, my travel buddy invited me to visit one. I never thought that there are reservoirs with beautiful spots here in Hong Kong and not just simple water dams. We traveled to New…

April Fools Collections **May 2, 2022** April had passed so fast. The crypto market, on the other hand, had a roller coaster ride but mostly headed downwards in the past 30 days. I guess many have wished it's just a fool, but no, it isn't. The global crypto chart below shows how saddening the crypto market status was this month of April. All our portfolios probably are still bloody red up to this moment, and losses since the start of this year have not been recovered yet.…
What Happened Last Holiday? **May 3, 2022** The month of May always starts with a holiday because of Labor Day which falls on its first day. Fortunately, the first day of May this year fell on Sunday, so the public holiday was moved to Monday. It gave me two days of rest during the first week of May. Prior to this holiday, my friend and I had already planned what to do for this two days holiday, and that was to hike a mountain and visit a beautiful city somewhere in the New…
Connecting With Mother Nature **May 4, 2022** I was informed by @George_Dee about this amazing contest on **Ecotrain** and the topic was about sharing experiences with nature and why is it important to connect with nature.

Why Not Live A Simple Life In A Modern World? **May 5, 2022** I came across this interesting prompt on **LoH** that I wanted to try as I have a lot of thoughts in mind to share about this prompt. https://hive.blog/hive-124452/@ladiesofhive/ladies-of-hive-community-contest-81 Which would you choose to live by?

The Bad Old Days In His Iron Fist **May 6, 2022** Filipinos here probably know this viral news about a father who beat his young son to death which I read from Momentswithmatti's article.

There Is No Perfect Anyway **May 7, 2022** Happy weekend everyone! It's a perfect day, isn't it? The weather is just so lovely as this tree and one shouldn't feel weary, rather stay positive to magnet more positivity throughout the day. I was thinking about what certain topic to write but my mind seems to want a rest, probably tired from processing preoccupied thoughts in it. I had a lot of mulling and contemplating over things recently, and they are indeed something I don't…
Requite A Mother's Love **May 8, 2022** *Young, beautiful, innocent, and kind when she fell in love. Clueless about where her new life would bring her, she ventured into the world of love and built a family. The beginning of her journey was challenging and received several judgments at a young age. Yet, her love for her man prevailed and eventually, a young wife became a young mother.* ****M*******other***, that's what I call her. She devoted her life since she became a…
Promote Your Content And Onboard Writers To read.cash Through Dreemport **May 9, 2022** For many of us, writing is just easy but getting readers, followers, and promoting content is the challenging part. Unless you're a writer who doesn't care about having readers as you only think about getting tips just like what I said to @Olasquare in his recent article. But for a writer who values both writing and reading, we always wanted our content to be read by others. And as for…
Spending Alone Time With Myself **May 10, 2022** There are moments that I feel exhausted both mentally and physically and I feel like doing nothing but just sitting down and relaxing. Oftentimes, we also need a serenely tranquil moment, unruffled, or undisturbed. Even from preoccupied thoughts. They are pretty disturbing our tranquility oftentimes to the point that we want to shut our minds and don't think of anything at all. I always want this to happen when things are…
The Sharp Peak Of The Needle Hill **May 11, 2022** Our journey in the **Enchanting Shing Mun Reservoir** was great and we discovered another beautiful paradise in Hong Kong. While wandering around the reservoir, we found routes going to different trails. One of them is Needle Hill's and its name hooked us and so we opted to visit the hill since we still have enough time. https://read.cash/@Jane/the-enchanting-shing-mun-reservoir-2795c856 Curious about its name so I looked it…
Practical Budgeting **May 12, 2022** Budgeting is challenging, especially when our cash is limited and the inflation is so high. oftentimes, we find it tough to make ends meet with the little salary we have but a big family to support with. Sometimes we would just scratch our heads upon receiving our salary at the end of the month because it will eventually fade like bubbles in the air. Bills are waiting at home, tuition fees for siblings, and of course, the monthly…
The Alarming Bear, It's Not Cute Anymore! **May 13, 2022** *I love bears, I truly do. They are cute and huggable, BUT, not in the Cryptoverse.* It's been a few weeks, or should I say, since the start of this year that the crypto market is in a bad condition where its trends are mostly going down affecting the majority of the Cryptocurrencies. Although this is an opportunity to accumulate more crypto or buy at a very low price, we can't deny the fact that we are worried as…
Health, Love, Faith: Can We Live Without Them? **May 14, 2022** ***"******Some seed words are worth more than money*****,"** as @Talecharm said.

Drizzling Sunday, Reminiscing Our Travel Memories **May 15, 2022** My eyes were wide open at six in the morning before the alarm buzzes. Excited about the getaway to a beautiful place that resembles a Europe country and climbs its mountain where a rock that resembles a rhino is located. The recent weather condition made me worried though at the same time as it might ruin our day. I opted to check the weather outside and the online forecast. My mood seems to dwindle as I saw…
Urban Walk At West Kowloon Cultural District Hong Kong **May 16, 2022** Let's take a break from going to secluded places in Hong Kong. In today's travel blog, I'll take you to a beautiful urban district with *one-of-a-kind* architecture in Hong Kong.

If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time **May 19, 2022** If only I could turn back the hands of time, I want to go back to when I made wrong decisions and make them right. For instance, if I could go back to the time I got an airdrop from FORTH tokens, I would sell them to fiat so I could get more than two hundred fifty-thousand pesos. The same thing I would do if I could go back to the time when BCH reached its ATH, to at least recoup my investments. I should have had enough…
My Needlework Craft Will Be Donated To A Foundation **May 20, 2022** This Wednesday, the young Chinese lady at home asked a favor if I could help her do her sewing homework since she was busy studying for their upcoming examinations and the deadline will be today, Friday. A person who loves art and craft, of course, didn't decline it. Besides, it's been a long time since I made artwork and crafts. At first, I thought it was just simple school homework, but after finishing…
Let Time Heal All Wounds **May 21, 2022** I came across this article of @LykeLyca **If Time Heals** which was her entry to Jonica's Prompt and it inspired me to write this one. https://read.cash/@LykeLyca/if-time-heals-44466edb#comment-3e42da13 Oftentimes, giving and accepting forgiveness seems too hard, so we rather allow time to heal the sadness and pain or any disappointments we caused or received from others. The word "***sorry***" only has five letters, but it seems…

Have you ever wondered how it was transformed into a beautiful park?* *There was once an enclave built within the boundaries for military purposes during the World War era. As time went on in the post-war era, the population increased uncontrollably. More buildings were built within the wall, as well as squatters, and the government found it difficult to…
Sushi Treat For Myself On My Payday **May 23, 2022** Every 21st of the month is my payday. The same day I first stepped foot in this country. Honestly, I seldom treat myself with food or things I yearn for because I am a practical thinker and I would rather save my money in my bank account than treat myself with something fancy or whatever. Traveling is the only inexpensive treat I could give myself. It's because the public transportation here is very convenient and the Mass…

Is HODLing Still Safe? Bloody Red SmartBCH Portfolio **May 25, 2022** It was eight months ago when SmartBCH was introduced to this community and I dived into its sphere to take advantage of the earning opportunities it offers to BCH holders. I started with a few tokens, then trading, staking, and farming, and in a matter of a short period, I already gained a decent amount of BCH. Who would have thought that in just 9 days, I would gain more than $300 profit from SmartBCH…

(30DofG) A Hidden Blessing In A Difficult Situation **May 27, 2022** Oftentimes, we consider one a blessing if we received it in a positive situation. But during difficult situations, we often become blind and frustrated. We become blind that we don't acknowledge the situation from a positive perspective as it impacts our life negatively. We become frustrated by the unfavorable consequences and consider ourselves unlucky or unfortunate. Little did we know that ***bitter…
(30DofG) An Opportunity I'm Grateful For **May 28, 2022** Opportunities do come and go but we sometimes can't see them as we keep looking at things we really want, rather than grabbing the ones at hand. But when doing so, we tend to miss opportunities we never thought they are. Oftentimes, we know they are opportunities but we tend to ignore them because we always doubt ourselves and think in advance about uncertain consequences without even trying them first. We really do…
Passing Through Trails Of Endless Stairs To Violet Hill And Tai Tam Reservoir **May 29, 2022** Another week has come and gave us the opportunity to travel again. Despite the gloomy weather, we pursued our plan to hike beautiful hills and visit other trails and attractions near the area. This is what I love hiking here in Hong Kong, as you will be able to visit different trails in just one day. Connecting hills and mountains are accessible and can be hiked in just one day.…
Sublime Sunday, Our Little Adventure **May 30, 2022** Sunday is always an exciting day for me, especially if my travel buddy is available. Luckily, her boss extended her vacation in China for two more weeks so we had another chance to travel last Sunday. The night prior to this day, I had already searched online for a place to visit, and I stumbled upon a stunning reservoir in Sai Kung Hong Kong. Without a second thought, we concluded our plan and visited the place last…
May Was Down, But I Am Still Up! **May 31, 2022** It's been an arduous journey in May and we can't deny the fact that riding this roller coaster ride every day is pretty frightening.
