Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy **November 1, 2022** ***"Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy." -*** **Theodore Roosevelt** Thinking about this adage, also made me think, *does winning in the lottery an exemption?* Is it too worth it to have millions of money easily? Whether you admit it or not, you wish to win the lottery too to make all your desires in life come true, *didn't you?* But there's also an adage that says, "*easy come, easy go*." So the money that has been won in…

Wandering Around A Small French Town **November 2, 2022** You probably have read about Stanley here before. It's a beautiful town in the southern district of Hong Kong Island. Moreover, it's one of the top tourist destinations in this country. And I also learned that there is a sizeable French population here, that's why it is also called, "**a small French town**." But there are more interesting facts and places that anyone would definitely be hooked by this place, and…

Finally Out After Two Days November 2, 2022 The bad weather began on Monday, and as a result, I was advised not to go outside, or should I say, I have nothing to do outside. At the time of writing, Wednesday was the first day of the week that I was able to leave the house. Consider staying inside for two days in a row, my body is not accustomed to it. I always want to see the outside world, whether the weather is good or not. I'd always wanted to go for a walk to stretch my…

I Wish I'd Done This **4th November 2022** *Sometimes we wish we could turn back the clock and go back in time to do things we regret not doing. And sometimes those things appear in our dreams, making us regret them even more. Or are we simply missing some moments?* **I had a dream about my mother and my siblings the other night**. We appeared to be in a small room in my dream, but there were several items packed in bags and boxes that seemed to occupy the larger space of…

Her Weakness Become Her Strengths **|5th Nov 22|18:00|** Over the years, women have always been downgraded and considered weak due to the patriarchy depicted in history. We are always defined as household workers and only know things about caring for the family and home. That is absurd to believe because, nowadays, resiliency and the number of challenges faced and overcome are used to define someone's capabilities rather than gender. *This was submitted as my entry to the*…

My So Productive Sunday! **|6th Nov 22|18:00|** Sunday is usually a day of slacking for me, but the noises made by the Chinese family at home kept me awake. I tried to sleep again after answering nature's call, but to no avail. My eyes were closing, but my ears and mind were widely activated. I couldn't sleep any longer, so I got up and did my usual online side hustles. For Pete's sake, it was only 8:35 a.m., and even after the family had left around 9:30, I couldn't sleep…

Gloomy Saturday and Memories From The Good Old Days **|7th Nov 22|18:00|** A few minutes before seven in the morning, my body opted to get up after quite long hours of sleep. It was too gloomy outside, and the cold breeze sent chills down my spine. I was looking out the window when I realized I was staring at young students who were having after-school practices in the field. The scene reminded me of my dream, which is still vivid in my mind. Good People From The Good Old…

Coping With Self-doubt And Stress **|8th Nov 22|18:11|** There was once a contest in Hive Learners community on Hive, and this was my entry which I think is worth sharing here. https://ecency.com/created/hive-153850 https://ecency.com/hive-153850/@jane1289/never-let-self-doubt-hold-you-captive-hive-learners-22 *(Note that this happened 3 months ago, so emotions expressed here have nothing to do with my current state.)* I've been battling with my mind recently which ruined my…

Fun In The Fest At Mid-Autumn Festival **|9th Nov 22|18:00|** **"Wild In The City, Fun In The Fest"** was the theme of the SummerFest Hong Kong 2022 I attended this summer which I mentioned in one of my posts. The event ran for 9 weeks and took place from the 16th of July to the 18th of September at Central Harbourfront Event Space, and I was too outdated to only find it out when it was about to end. It is already autumn but this trip happened this summer. The day after…

Bloody Market Sentiment **|10th Nov 22|18:00|** It's been a long time since we waited for the crypto market to recover, but the end of the year is quickly approaching and it doesn't appear to have any progress. The market always falls after a brief upswing. We don't even know when to dive in and out of it because it's too volatile right now, and the subsequent episodes are impossible to predict. And the majority of the time only gives us false hope and disappointment. I…

What Makes Me Busy Recently? (Jane Goes Vlogging) **|11th Nov 22|18:00|** Recently, I became busy doing other stuff and just putting lesser time into writing and interacting. I find it hard to manage all things on my plate this time, so I had to set aside others things just to focus on this one. A few years ago when I wasn't into writing yet, I wished to become a vlogger like other Filipinas here in Hong Kong. I find it a great way to document my life and travel stories…

Pace Slowly, Not Hurriedly **|12th Nov 22|18:05|** Whether you admit it or not, there are times when you feel compelled to rush through tasks in order to complete them as quickly as possible. I, for one, want to finish my work as soon as possible so that I can collapse into my bed and do other things online. I don't like wasting time; I try to make my days as productive as possible by doing as many things as I can. In a world that is so productive, demanding, and expensive,…

Sunday, Art, and Songs **|13th Nov 22|18:00|** I woke up earlier than my desired time this morning for the nth time due to noises outside. It happens every Sunday because the young lady needs to attend examinations in preparation for her studies in England. I understand it, and I'm always considerate. I simply despise myself for being a light sleeper, especially when I have plenty of time to sleep. It was 8:30 in the morning, just like last weekend. Instead of attempting to…

Chaos & Death, An Ending & Change **|14th Nov 22|18:00|** Death... Perhaps most of us are afraid of it. I, for one, am afraid of it because I believe my purpose in this world has not yet been fulfilled. I still have responsibilities to manage and objectives to meet. I am afraid of death, not only for myself, but also for my family. I was awakened from a nightmare about chaos and death. One moment I was happy with the people who are dear to me, the next moment, something came…

To Buy Or To Save? **|15th Nov 22|18:25|** My online interactions have recently decreased for a variety of reasons, one of which is managing my social accounts to increase my number of subscribers, particularly on YouTube. However, it appears that it is insufficient to achieve my goal of having a monetized YouTube account. I may eventually lose interest in this field as well. Another thing that has kept me awake at night is my attempt to recover my laptop's forgotten…

It's Not How You Look, It's What You Do **|16th Nov 22|18:21|** For sure, most of you are familiar with the Netflix movie, "**The School For Good And Evil**" which I watched last weekend after reading Infinity's review about it. I find the characters he described in the movie interesting, as well as the plot of the story. It's a story of two different ladies with a special bond. One looks like a princess and wishes to be like one to get away from her life's misfortune. The…

Should We Spend Lavishly On Food? **|17th Nov 22|18:00|** Food is life. That is given. Apart from traveling, I would lavishly spend money on food if I wanted to because I believe I can. Besides, it's my way of rewarding myself after a difficult week. If I want to, I can go to fancy places. It's just that my practical side takes precedence over my stubborn side most of the time. Whenever I plan to visit a fancy place or buy fancy food, my mind tends to process several…

How I Manage My Socials **|18th Nov 22|18:00|** It isn't easy to manage social media accounts, especially when you have a full-time job in the real world that requires most of your time. I am one of those managing multiple accounts and online side hustles. And I can't deny the fact that I often lose my desire to manage them all due to busyness, lack of time, and exhaustion. Yet, as the adage says, ***"if there is a will, there is a way." T***here isn't any reason to give up,…

How Did I Boost My Confidence? **|19th Nov 22|18:05|** I was too timid, shy, aloof, introverted, and whatever else you want to call me when I was younger, to the point where I don't even like socializing with my relatives and family members. My life seemed to revolve inside my cocoon. Even when I was able to speak, I felt like mute and hesitant to speak out. This personality remained with me even as I grew older. The school was a real struggle for me. I detested oral class…

Sunday's Best And My First Tram Trip **|20th Nov 22|18:06|** ***"Let's spend our Sunday worthwhile and free ourselves of worries and stress. Just spread happiness and good vibes."*** Have a blessed day readchashers! I felt so positive today, albeit late in getting up this morning. I spent half of my day slacking in my bed while doing online side hustles and drafting some articles for both platforms, readcash, and Hive. Later at noon, I decided to get up to feed my tummy as…

How To Get No Copyright Strike On YouTube? (For New Vloggers) **|21st Nov 22|18:06|** I created the **JaneTheExplorer** channel three weeks ago and it already has eight uploaded videos. As a new vlogger on YouTube, I still have a lot of things to know about vlogging and techniques to learn to create better and more attractive videos. As for now, all videos I have uploaded were just collections of photos and short videos from my previous trips. I don't have yet those full…

Busy Tuesday et al **|22nd Nov 22|17:56|** Tuesday has always been busier than the first day of the week for me. The more things I do offline, the lesser time I spend online. And I noticed that the lesser interaction I made, the lesser likes, views, and rewards I got on both platforms, readcash, and noisecash. That is understandable because that's how all platforms work. And I am certain that my income this month will decrease as well. But why do others still get higher…

HumpDay and The Other Shop **|23rd Nov 22|17:55|** Happy Hump Day, readcashers! The weather here isn't great; it's cloudy with light rain. When I went outside this morning, I discovered some apples for sale in a supermarket. One for HK$5 isn't bad considering how expensive apples are here. I've started eating fruits for snacks because I feel like I've been spoiling my stomach so much that I'm starting to feel the consequences: IBS, flatulence, and another discomfort. Those…

Why My Life Now Is Better Than Before **|24th Nov 22|17:36|** I recently posted my story about How Did I Boost My Confidence, and talked about some past experiences and how I gained confidence throughout the years. Now I can say that my life is better than it was before. This was actually inspired by @fantagira's post on Ladies of Hive a day ago which she got the topic from MJ here in readcash. https://ecency.com/hive-124452/@fantagira/5-signs-that-my-life *Background photo…

My Dream Travel Companion and Experience **|25th Nov 22|17:44|** Recently, I've been checking the shared images and files with my sister on Messenger and I saw unnoticed short videos and images. I laughed so hard as I watched the videos as I saw my mother dancing on TikTok. She's a person who is not into phones, cameras, videos, and any digital stuff, and seeing her dancing is something different. My sister once mentioned to me that they are teaching our mother how to use…

No More Tears **|25th Nov 22|17:58|** *Image from Unsplash by* *Lexie Barnhorn* https://unsplash.com/photos/LzuOF28ebCM While looking at my reflection in the water, I could no longer recognize myself. As if I matured too fast despite having a young age in my early 30s. As to when was the last time I mind for myself, I could no longer remember. The responsibilities thrown on my shoulders seem to be always on top priority and I tend to disregard myself. The continuous hustling…

The Tough Journey in Monetizing Social Media Accounts (Subscriptions For Sale) **|27th Nov 22|18:00|** Undeniably, different social media offers a lot of opportunities to let users earn through their monetization program. YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok are just a few of them. People, of course, would take advantage of this program while enjoying streaming entertaining videos and surfing on different platforms online. It is more like their fun is being returned with some dime.…

Sunday Gala and Christmas Displays **|28th Nov 22|17:49|** Happy new week readcashers! Another chance to live. Another day to grind! A few more days to December, are we all prepared for it? People asking for gifts are now waving, lol. Before we start this week, lemme share my Sunday gala and some things I did yesterday. First, I love how PicsArt transformed my photo into this 👇. I like the black&white the most as it matched my black&white long sleeves. I guess I can create a…

When An Opportunity Comes, A Bad Luck Goes Along With It **|29th Nov 22|18:00|** ***"Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality."*** **- Eliyahu Goldratt** We feel lucky and blessed when an opportunity knocks on our door. But have you been in a situation where an opportunity is just one grab away but something bad happens? But is there such a term as bad luck? As the adage above says, bad things happen when lack…

Celebrate Endings For They Precede New Beginnings **|30th Nov 22|17:54|** Just a few hours more, and December will come. It seems like time runs so fast that we couldn't control its pace. We, as well, seem like rushing things that need to be achieved before the year is renewed. How I wish I could pause the time or go back just so I could allocate more time for doing things I haven't achieved yet. Oftentimes, I am in a hurry to finish tasks to end my long day faster, but this…
