The Challenging June Expedition **July 1, 2022** The whole month's journey in blogging and Cryptoverse is just as thrilling as in the real world. It always ends up with negative results and some changes, ****Not Just Positive News********.**** That is the constant thing in this world anyway, the *changes*. Moreover, life is uncertain, we wouldn't know what will happen next or if things we want would fall into place, or if we would last in a place where we want to stay longer…

Friday Holiday Typhoon **July 2, 2022** The first day of July, Friday, was marked as the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). This was supposed to be a great day of celebration for Hong Kong people as this was the day that the sovereignty was regained by Hong Kong from the United Kingdom. This was the day that the country was freed again. And to celebrate this special day, the LCSD of HK held a free-of-charge use of…
June Side Hustles, Was It Fruitful? **July 3, 2022** June probably has the most bloody market this year and saddening to see the cryptocurrencies tumbling almost to the bottom. Amongst the affected ones, are, of course, the small investors. Bitcoin Cash, on the other hand, keeps declining and has already dropped below the 30th spot on Coingecko. Along with this is, of course, a bigger loss of investment. https://www.coingecko.com/en/global_charts At the end of the month, I…
Power Up Month Achieved By A Buzzy Bee **July 4, 2022** As a blogger *slash* overseas worker, it's always tough for me to manage my time, especially when things are out of control and I have a lot on my plate. I keep juggling from one place to another like a buzzy bee and trying my best to leave some time for blogging. It's a great achievement for me if I can write and post an article a day. I just turned 2 years old on this platform and that's another milestone. The…
Hive Basics For Beginners **July 5, 2022** Recently, I've been reading posts about newbies on Hive from read.cash and their complaints about how complicated to navigate the platform is. It is true, as I've been there and it took me quite a long time before I finally comprehend its system. Honestly, there is still a lot more I need to know about the platform. I just need more time to learn them. I opted to write this blog to give a quick guide about the basics of Hive, to…
Meet Chinco, My Partner **July 6, 2022** Don't be confused with the title, I am still single and don't want to mingle 🤣🤣. I have Philophobia, remember? I know you guys know that I like taking challenges. It helps me avoid writer's block and be productive. The other platform really has a lot, that keeps my mind working each day and myself productive. This is in connection to the recent challenge of Dreemport in collaboration with Ecency. For the Hivers here, if you missed…
(30DofG) Just Laugh Out Loud **July 7, 2022** ***Every smile counts!*** *But what about the laughter? That would be more to count ☺.* https://read.cash/@Jane/every-smile-counts-24cfe76c The next 30 Days of Gratitude topic talks about something that made me laugh today and a book that I love reading. In my article ***Every smile counts******,*** I mentioned that I seldom smile, and I seldom laugh as well. Unless I watch a very funny show every day, lol. But it seldom happens…
How To Think Like A Monk To Live Peacefully? **July 8, 2022** ***Are you a Bibliophile******?*** Or what we called Bookworm. https://read.cash/@Jane/are-you-a-bibliophile-b9713ca5 I did love reading books when I was younger, especially the Disney fantasy stories. Because all I could do before was fantasize and imagine myself being one of the princesses in the books I've read, living in a palace with a beautiful life. As I grew up, I'd love reading suspense and thrilling…
Love For Passion **July 9, 2022** **We all have passion in life, don't we? May it be a passion for music, dancing, art, gardening, teaching, cooking, etc. Anything that makes us happy and we love to do constantly is our passion.** I came across this prompt about our passion that I opted to take. I have a few that I love doing and they make me happy. **Passion for Art** This was the first passion I acquired since I was younger. I remembered back when I was in pre-school, it…

Some Things I Want To Change **July 11, 2022** You probably have to meet Chinco, my partner for the recent Ecency-Dreemport Challenge. https://read.cash/@Jane/meet-chinco-my-partner-1223ec43 https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@dreemsteem/ready-go Thank you, Janey. That was his response to my 2nd-day post about him. Nigerians are really cool, aren't they? I met a lot on another platform and added more to my list from this platform. They are everywhere, spreading their wittiness…
Sunday Self-Treat And Relaxation **July 12, 2022** **How often do you treat yourself? I guess it's less than you deprive yourself of getting what you really want. Isn't it?** Adulting is cruel as it seems like we are living in a world with limited space and only the needs are taken into account and put on top priority. But we can't just work and work forever. Oftentimes, we need to reward ourselves for the effort we exerted without breaking the support we give to our loved…
(30DofGFinale) The Freedom I Am Grateful For **July 13, 2022** It's been a month since I started taking this **30 Days Of Gratitude Challenge** and I must say that thinking about what to write for certain prompts wasn't easy. Indeed it helped me unblock my writer's block and saved my days when I don't want to stress out my mind thinking of certain topics to write about. Collecting prompts and making stories out of them was more fun, than just answering them one by one. That…
Catching Up With Friends For Keeps **July 14, 2022** Friends are truly the most amazing gifts we receive in life. Without them, life would probably be so boring and not exciting. They seem like a rainbow that put colors into our lives, a sun that makes our day brighter, or extreme rides at an amusement park that makes our journey so thrilling. And not just that, they are also our real bullies, aren't they? Real friends are our real bullies, that is true. Probably because we…

You might consider these.** I'm a traveler and love taking photos of the places I visited and posting them on a platform where my photos can be curated well.

Exploring The Kam Sui Shek Teng of High Island Reservoir Hong Kong **July 16, 2022** Another hidden paradise of Hong Kong was explored by my travel buddy and me one bright Sunday. An unforgettable place that I would like to visit again and again. Located in the **High Island Reservoi****r** premise in **Sai Kung Peninsula**, New Territories is **Kam Sui Shek Teng** or what they called "***Toad Stone Peak***" in English translation.…
Participating In 8th 35Awards Photography Contest **July 17, 2022** You probably know that photography is one of my hobbies and I like taking photos of the beautiful places I visited. This is my way of collecting and preserving beautiful memories too. Just like other things, a soft copy can be corrupted, so it's better to make a hard copy for backup 😅. We age, our mind deteriorates, and we tend to forget things, lol. I recently came across this site called **35Awards** **for…
Extend Your Travel Journey To TravelFeed **July 18, 2022** I was reading travel blogs on another platform when I came across @ARTicLEE's post wherein he attached a link to TravelFeed. The site sounds familiar but I never explored it. I never thought that it can be connected to Hive Blockchain as well to be monetized. https://travelfeed.io/ So for Hodophiles out there, I found another perfect place for our perfect travel photos. In case you have missed my article the other…
I Finally Got A Chance To Staycation In Sai Kung **July 19, 2022** Ever since the pandemic invaded the world, I have never been on a staycation due to protocols and restrictions. It was like unloaded baggage when restrictions were lifted here and tourists are now free to travel to places they want to. I've been yearning for a staycation ever since the start of this year. Luckily, one holiday fell on Friday, HK's Establishment Day on July 1, and that gave me a long weekend. I…
Party at G-dog's House **July 20, 2022** **Part 1:** **I Finally Got A Chance To Staycation In Sai Kung** https://read.cash/@Jane/i-finally-got-a-chance-to-staycation-in-sai-kung-041b68ab **SUNDAY** I was woken up in the morning by a loud knock on the door. I thought it was the staff delivering my breakfast, so I opened it. "*Breakfast is ready, my lady*." It was John. "*What are you doing here? I just woke up and didn't prepare yet*." I was embarrassed by my look so I…
Unforgettable Biyaheng Pinoy Experiences **July 21, 2022** This current Hive PH Contest made me reminisce about the good old days back when I was still in the Philippines. It's more fun in the Philippines, as they said. Indeed it is because even traveling from home to the workplace or school needs **not just one ride, but three rides**. Amazing isn't it? https://ecency.com/hive-188409/@hiveph/hive-ph-contest-biyaheng-pinoy My hometown is the *mabaysay* (beautiful) **Basey**…
I Found $500 Bill, What Should I Do? **July 22, 2022** ***What would you do if you found $500 on the street or somewhere outside your house?*** This isn't a prank but real. I did find HK$500 the other day and it's worth $63.70 or about Php3,500. I was buying some items in a dispensary store one morning, and after I paid for the items, I turned my back and placed the change and receipt into my wallet. A folded money bill on the floor caught my sight and since my wallet was…
Living In The Darkness **July 23, 2022** **What if there is no electricity? Will you survive in this modern world?** This recent Weekend Experiences contest only brought back my childhood memories, back when we were still living in a secluded place in our province with no electricity at all. https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@galenkp/we110-weekend-engagement-concept With or without electricity, I can say that I will survive in this modern world and I could handle the problems…
Solitude Under The Blazing Sun **July 24, 2022** Yesternight, I fell asleep late as I needed to do some tasks online. Ever since this Summer break started, my plate is always full and I often tend to extend my working hours. And I hate the fact that my resting time is becoming lesser and lesser. I have this goal this year to try my best to sleep as early as half an hour before eleven at night. But this never-ending grinding always breaks this goal. And I don't know when will…
The Forgotten Lost Son **July 25, 2022** After ten years, Jay finally had the courage to trace back a familiar route. A letter from an institution he received triggered him to do so. It took him a while to think about it as hatred from the past is still fresh in his mind and hidden deep within his heart. He kept it for a decade. But somehow, someone he met after the incident helped him heal the wounds of the past over time. Into the West, he's traveling by car following the…
Four Seasons and I **July 26, 2022** I was born in a tropical country with only sunny and rainy seasons, but most of the days are sunny days that I feel like, it's always Summer. Bathing twice a day is our way to freshen up our hot bodies (*in temperature* 😅). It's an advantage though as we stay fairly warm and most produced food is fresh. We don't need to stock food in preparation for cold seasons as we can just buy fresh food every day. We don't need a water heater for…
$100+ Profit In Short Trading **July 27, 2022** It was 2 weeks ago when the whole crypto market plunged and many thought that it would reach the bottom. The total crypto market capitalization even dropped below trillions. Many took that opportunity to do crypto shopping as the majority of the tokens were on sale. Some got FUD and opted to sell their tokens at very low prices. As many crypto buyers dived in, an upward trend was seen thereafter. It continued and the whole…
It's Not About Rewards Anymore **July 28, 2022** *It is undeniable that we all came here with a common denominator, and that is to earn rewards through writing. But staying longer is another story that doesn't include rewards anymore.* And now that the token's price dropped and the tipping system decreased on this platform, it's not the rewards anymore that convince us to still stay. As for me, writing and interacting became part of my daily routine and I feel like my day…
How Blogging Challenges Impacted My Life **July 29, 2022** Being a writer for a couple of years, blogging somehow impacted my life and taught me to deal with different challenges, along with different judgments, criticism, and unforeseen circumstances. The writing challenges are also inevitable. I remembered way back when writing prompts were flooding readcash's feed, Jonica was always posting prompts weekly. That always saves our day as we have something to write about.…
Our Comfortable Life Is Harming Our Mother Earth **July 30, 2022** In my Sunday article about Solitude Under The Blazing Sun, I mentioned that Sunday, July 24th, has an extremely high temperature which soared over 35°C, and its peak was 39°C. That was when I felt the want to just stay indoors the whole day because the prickling heat of the sun was too uncomfortable. As days pass by, it seems that Hong Kong's weather temperature is getting hotter and hotter each year,…
Wrapping Up July. It Was Tough This Time! **July 31, 2022** For how many months that I've been wrapping up my works in creative writing, I must admit that this month's articles gave me a pain in the ass. While looking at my article titles, I didn't know how to form them into one content. It is as challenging as ****The Challenging June Expedition********.**** So I'll just let words flow through my fingers. https://read.cash/@Jane/the-challenging-june-expedition-6de049cf…
