After Two Years: Quality Time With Them
`March 26, 2022`
`Saturday`
It's been almost three years since the quarantine and lockdown were implemented all over the world. We thought that it was just a one-week school break, but until now we haven't gotten to school since that day. The lockdown forbids us from traveling to any places in order to prevent the spread of the COVID virus, which truly scares us all. We were quarantined in each of our houses for two years. That's why when the new normal happened, everyone was so delighted that they were now able to travel to places.
My family traveled a lot before COVID, and we were always present at every occasion in the city. But COVID stops us from traveling to different places. When the new normal comes, it makes us able to travel to our neighboring town. And just yesterday, for the first time in two years, we were able to travel back to the city, and we were all excited to get back to the city and visit our cousin's house who lives in the city. The people that I am traveling with are my cousins. What made us travel back to the city was that our other cousin wanted her baby to get baptized in her partner's place, not in the province, and they wanted us to be there during the christening of her baby.
We rented a van that would take us to the city. The passengers were just all of us cousins, and our excitement was immeasurable because we were now able to travel again after two years. We look like a kid who has just gotten out of the house to play with his friends outside. When we reached the city of Cebu, we looked like tourists who weren't from Cebu because there were a lot of changes and it's been so long since we got back again.
*Raw, unfiltered. I'm not using any filter with his photo, it was actually the window's color. Lol.*
Our destination was going to Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, but before going there, we made a stop over to the mall and spent a little time there. After a few minutes, we traveled again, going to Lapu-Lapu City, where we will be staying at our other cousin's house. When we arrived, we rested for a few hours, and then my other cousin demanded that he wanted to also visit our other cousin's house, which is in Cordova, Cebu, just a few kilometers away. After having our dinner, we decided to go and visit our other cousin from Cordova.
One of the reasons why my cousins wanted to visit our other cousin from Cordova was that they wanted to use and play the 200K computer set that our cousin had just bought because the PC set up was so cool. We traveled for a few kilometers before arriving at our destination. We arrived at 9 in the evening. When we arrived, we went straight to our cousin's room and played on his new PC.
What does it feel like to be around a bunch of crackhead people? It's a total mess!
My sister and I were the only girls in the group, and the rest were all of my crackhead cousins. They then decided to go with the ometv site, where you can talk to random strangers either in a video call or text and play along with some random strangers. And let me tell you guys, it was all hilarious and we all had fun!
We do encounter some strangers that are as funny as us. It's like we tested everything on our cousin's new PC; we even did some streaming. When our uncle arrived from work at 12am, he then told my cousin to buy something to drink, which was some beer, but I am the only one in the group who doesn't drink too much alcohol, so I only requested some chocolate ice cream. He bought two ice creams and I literally finished the other one.
This is the reason why I wasn't able to interact with you guys yesterday. I was too busy spending my time with my cousins since we don't usually get to hang out together because they live far from us. But when I come back home, I will no longer have this kind of freedom again because I will be loaded with lots of stuff again.
**Jini's Note:**
*Hey guys, let me just "sulit" this moment with my cousins, so my apologies if I won't be able to visit some of your articles but I promise that I'll always be around. And I'll make "bawi"*
*Thanks you reading!*
*Stay Hydrated and stay safe always everyone ❣️*
Things You Should Never Joke About
`March 25, 2022`
`Friday`
Joking is the most common way for people to entertain and make others laugh. Every group of friends has that one friend who acts like a clown and makes us all laugh so hard that our stomachs hurt. However, joking can sometimes lead to something that is no longer amusing. A joke is supposed to be entertaining rather than offensive. There will always be that one person who goes below the belt and thinks it was fun for him, but it is no longer fun for someone else.
We do joke a lot, but we should always be cautious and mindful with the jokes and words we say because not everyone is the same as us who thinks everything is a joke. It may sound funny to you, but it is already offensive to someone. They may laugh at the joke you tell, but deep down inside they’re already hurt by the words. You may think that it’s just a joke. We don’t know what everyone has been through, so we should always be cautious with everything we say. Even though it’s someone we know or even if it’s our close friend,
The following are some of the most common topics that people make jokes about and make fun of. However, mocking this topic is inappropriate.
Mental Illness
It's so sad that in today's generations, most (but not all) teenagers make fun of mental illness, particularly when it involves someone who is suffering from it. People normalise mental illness because they believe it makes them cool, when in reality, it does not and will never be cool. Anything can easily trigger someone who is suffering from mental illness, resulting in an unexpected outcome. It's terribly sad that ordinary people desire mental illness and self-diagnose. Since the lockdown began, we've noticed an increase in the number of suicides. Students and teenagers are the most common victims, and the most common issues are school-related. I saw a video of an educated person laughing at the news of a student who committed suicide, and it makes me sick. It's extremely disturbing.
Mental illness is not a laughing matter, and it should not be treated as such!
Rape, Rape Victims
If you’re that type of person who makes rape jokes, then please stay away from me because you’re a freak and disgusting. I can’t stand seeing someone making fun of rape victims, making rape jokes, and victim blaming. We should never make fun of it because we all know how traumatising it is to become a victim of it. I hope those who enjoy victim blaming and mocking it don't have a sister because they don't deserve a bother who is worse than a rapist.
Kids who don’t have parents or Orphans
I've seen a lot of memes about orphans and children without parents, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who think they're funny. Well, a meme is a short post that is supposed to be entertaining, but some memes are no longer entertaining and are excessive. Some people find it amusing, just as they do with dark humor. Making fun of children who do not have parents is not a good joke. Every kid deserves a parent, and we should at least try not to make them feel that they don’t have one.
Physical Feature
One of the most common ways for a person to lose confidence is through body shaming. Many people body shame others as if they are all perfect in their own right. We all have distinctive physical characteristics, but the problem is that society ridicules and judges us. Body shaming should not be taken as a joke because it is neither funny nor entertaining. . I'll admit that I've called someone "tambok" or "chubby," but it's also his nickname, and we weren't calling him that to make fun of him. We still call him "bok" even though he's no longer chubby because we've grown accustomed to it and he's not offended. That is why, we should be cautious about who we call names to, especially if we aren't particularly close to the person in question. It may appear normal to you, but not to them.
Joking is our way of expressing our funny sides and entertaining others, but we should always be cautious with the jokes that we let out, because not all the time, jokes can be taken as a funny thing to laugh at.

Multidimensional Anger Test: I often feel angrier than I think I should
`March 24, 2022`
`Thursday`
Having anger issues is something that is really an annoying thing for a person to have. That feeling of getting angry without any reason at all, that feeling when you feel like you’re about to explode and you have no idea what that something is that triggers you.
I get this idea of what to write after reading @Eirolfeam2 's article about the "Likable Person Test" and as I explore more of the site that she has attached, I bump into the anger test, which excites me to find out more about my anger issues. https://read.cash/@Eirolfeam2/likable-person-test-am-i-a-likable-person-43dde7a2
The test was made for research purposes and does not literally get its level of accuracy depending on what test you take. You will be answering 35 to 40 questions, and for each of the following items, indicate your level of agreement.
So, here are some of the following questions that I picked to share with you guys.
**Multidimensional Anger Test**
**I am on my guard when people act friendlier towards me than I expected.**
Apart from having anger issues, I also have trust issues knowing that I don’t usually interact with random people. Aside from having trust issues, I am not a sociable type of person and I don’t like to socialize. I only hang out and interact with the people that I have known for many years. And it would take me a long time to gain someone's trust, especially if they are shown to be overly friendly, which is quite unusual for me.
**It is difficult for me to let people know that I am angry.**
They would easily know if I was angry or not because of my expression and my sudden change of behavior. My mood changes as fast as a flash. People who know me or have been with me know that if I get silent all of a sudden, then they already know that I am angry. When I talk too much and say a lot of random stuff, it means I am still not angry and it was still my normal level of getting angry. The reason why I choose to remain silent when I am really angry is that I know for a fact that I can really hurt someone with the painful words that I am about to let out of my mouth and I might regret not being able to hold that anger of mine. Because I know that words are way more painful than actions and they cut deeper than a knife.
**I feel guilty about expressing my anger.**
I really do and I always feel guilty all the time, but then later on I get angry again. I easily get angry over small things, like anything and everything can easily trigger my anger without any reason at all. Here in our house, one thing that can trigger my anger is the annoying loud shouts and voices of my niece and nephew when they are around. Anyone would be irritated by that, especially if you were taking an online class and there were numerous distractions around you. There are no days that I will be shouting at them, and if I get mad at them, I will say hurtful words, but I will totally feel guilty knowing that they were just kids.
**At times, I feel angry for no specific reason.**
I know that I am not the only one getting angry for no specific reason at all, like our brains will manipulate us and tell us to be angry today. I am usually like this when the whole day I am happy and enjoying my day and then, all of a sudden, my emotions twist and change to the opposite. My mood changes in just a blink. But feeling angry for no specific reason is all too common for girls, especially if their monthly period is on its way.
After taking the test, here is my result: it shows that I am 33.2% more susceptible to anger than the average person.
It shows that my internal anger is way higher than the rest. That means that I am more capable of keeping my anger within me without letting the people around me know that I am angry. I tend to feel guilt over expressing my anger, but at the same time, I may also blame myself for failing to express that I am angry.
After taking the test, I can say that it is somewhat accurate as it gives 90% accuracy in determining who I really am in terms of my anger. And if you guys wish to test your anger as well as how likable a person you are, then you can just simply click here and you'll be redirected to the official site. https://www.idrlabs.com/anger/test.php

Families and Priorities
`March 23, 2022`
`Wednesday`
Being able to provide for our family with the small amount we have earned is already a wonderful thing because we know how hard we have worked for it. If we look at where our earnings have gone, we can see that our hard work has paid off, especially if it's all for our family's needs and wants. It feels so good to be able to help them because not everyone can support and provide for their families as we can.
But we can't deny the feeling of sadness from time to time, especially if we had planned something with the money we had saved but had to withdraw it at an inconvenient time. This is something that we can all relate to. The feeling can be upsetting at times because we wanted to save more money but also wanted to help our family. Despite the fact that we have set aside all of our savings for them, we can't help but feel disappointed and regretful at times.
But priorities will always remain on top and should be first before anything else. Last January, I shared how I accumulated 1 BCH in just 30 days, and it was a great achievement for me to be able to accumulate that kind of amount in such a short period of time, and just as this month, I am so close to reaching my 2 BCH, I only need a few more BCH to achieve my desired goal. But then, the time comes when we need to let go of our earnings because of our responsibilities as sisters and daughters.
February has been a particularly difficult month for us because we've been dealing with numerous challenges, particularly in terms of financial difficulties, which are at the root of all of our problems. All of my siblings, including my mother, are experiencing financial difficulties, and I was the only one with some savings, but I kept quiet and didn't tell anyone. But I can't stay silent, especially when you hear your family whining about how they can't find any money to lend or any other way to get money. Hearing those words from them made me sad.
My older brother's issue was with his motorcycle payment. He doesn't have any extra cash to pay for his motorcycle, which is past due. I then inquired as to how much money he needed so that I could provide him with the necessary funds to pay his bills. It was a little excessive, but I gave it to him anyway so he wouldn't have to worry about his motorcycle.
**What prompted me to sell my 1BCH?**
You know, the super typhoon Odette hit our house hard last December 2021, and it wreaked havoc on our neighbourhood, particularly our home. When our house was being renovated again in February, my sister was the one who initially purchased the roofing and painting materials. She asked if I still had any extra money to buy cement and sand for our house after the roof was installed, and I told her that I would be the one to buy those materials for our house because we all wanted our house to be finished as soon as possible, especially our room since my sister and I shared the same room.
It did cost a lot because the materials were a little pricey. When I finally cash out my 1BCH, I can't help but feel sad because it was so difficult to convert such a large amount knowing that the market isn't yet stable. But it'll all be worth it when I finally buy the materials and see our house begin to take shape. All of my hard work appears to have paid off, and I have no regrets because it was all for my family.
I am so proud of myself because even though I was only staying in my room 24/7, I was able to accumulate such an amount and provide something for my family. I even told my family not to tell anyone if someone asked who bought the materials for our house because I am pretty sure they would suspect what my work is because they know I don’t go out of my room. And you already know what it feels like to have "Marites and Karens" neighbors. LOL.
***By the way, updates about the donations.***
*I've already sent the donations that you've made to the fire victims. It's wonderful to be able to help our fellow citizens in such a simple and caring way. Thank you so much for your contributions, guys. It means a whole lot to them!* ***May God continue to shower you with blessings.***

A Glimpse of my High School Memoir 2.0
`March 22, 2022`
`Tuesday`
It is always so much fun reminiscing about those fun memories we had during our teenage years. They will never be forgotten, even until our bodies get wrinkles all over. It is a memory that will forever be treasured.
Every time we have classmate or schoolmate gatherings, our main topic will always be those fun and memorable moments we had during that time. Especially those epic fail moments that are impossible to forget and remain imprinted in our minds for the rest of our lives.
I already published my first version of this a few days ago and I still have so much to talk about since I only wrote about a few of those memories I had. Well, in fact, I haven’t gone to the middle yet. LOL. There are so many worse than those that I wrote about the last time. So, here is the continuation of my stupidity and stubbornness during my high school days.
**Part 2 of "Never Have I Ever: School Edition"**
Never Have I Ever;
**Forged my parent’s signature**
I have, and even after college, I still do it. I can’t blame myself though, because I am so lazy, but it's not just that I always forgot to tell my mom that he needed to sign something for my school. I still did it, but not all the time, unlike when I was a high schooler when I can’t remember the last time my mom actually signed a paper for me because I was the only one signing at my school and I didn’t even tell her a thing. Like when we had a parent-teacher association meeting and I didn’t tell my mom that there would be a PTA meeting, so I was the only one signing the attendance for the parents even though my mom was not around. Yes, I was a very good kid during my high school days. To the high school students reading this, please don’t do the same thing as I did before because it was a very bad idea. But luck is always on my side because I haven’t gotten caught. LOL.
**Make fake excuses for being late**
I haven’t tried getting late to class. Just kidding. I hoped this was real, but it was the opposite. I can literally count the days that I arrive on time at school. When it comes to arriving late to class, it’s either me or @Corpsekunno who will be the last one to arrive, but most of the time it’s always me who arrives late. And the irony is that I live right next door; our house was literally next to our school campus. I can literally make up a whole book of stories and lies that I made up for excuses whenever I arrived late to class. I really don’t care about my attendance during my high school days. In our students' logbook, there are no days that my name is not written there. My name will always be in the logbook. One thing that I always ended up late for was that our sexytary would always list our names as "late" every time we arrived after the flag ceremony. She shows no mercy. LOL. And I really don’t mind because it doesn’t affect my grades and performance in school because I was only late in the morning, not when the teacher arrived, so it’s totally fine for me.
**Had a crush on someone in my class**
Never! I haven’t had a crush on any of my male classmates because none of them are good in class! I don’t find them attractive at all. I only find them a great group of friends. But crush? Hell no! LMAO. Dang. I can’t imagine myself falling in love with my classmate. But during my younger year in high school, most of my friends were boys, and I was one of them. Like 80% of the boys in our class were all boys. I have had some smart classmates before, but we’re like siblings. I only look at them as my brothers and I am their little sister.
**Enjoyed studying**
I do enjoy studying, but sometimes I don't, especially when I get bored. You know how competitive I was before when it comes to academics since I have shared with you guys here that it was one of my toxic traits before. The only times I don’t enjoy studying is when I get bored or I don’t like the subject teacher. One of the reasons why I don’t like studying is that every time I study hard and participate well in class, I always get a low grade, but if I don’t do well in class, I get a high grade. I don't know what was wrong with my high school teachers before. So weird. lol.
It was so fun reading your high school memories and most of those are so relatable!

A Post for a Cause: Donations for the Fire Victims
`March 21, 2022`
`Monday`
Hello everyone! How are you? How was your day? I hope you guys had a blessed new start to the week. There was a fire that broke out last Saturday here in our place that left many families homeless and turned their houses into ashes.
It was horrible for all of us who lived in that place, as it was the first time that a fire happened in our place. All of them lost their houses, and what’s sadder is that most of the houses that were eaten by fire were those that were just renovated or built a few months ago. It’s so sad to witness those moments, seeing those people who couldn’t do anything but just watch their houses turn into ashes.
They were not able to grab any of the stuff that they had in their houses because they needed to save themselves first because the fire gets so big in just the blink of an eye. They didn’t have clothes, food, and the only thing they had was the clothes that they wore that night and their cellphones.
This is the aftermath of the incident that night. Everything burned to ashes and the only thing left was the concrete walls, but the rest is no longer there and has already turned to charcoal.
It was so devastating to see such a view in the morning. Seeing those people standing at the spot where their house was, the only thing left was the memories of the house they used to live in. I can’t help but get emotional seeing someone cry. He just arrived from his work that morning, and the only thing that he saw right away was the burnt place. The money that he kept and his things were already gone and turned to ashes.
This afternoon, my aunt, who lives on the other side of the globe, gave some donations for the victims. It was supposed to be for her birthday, which is next month, but she just used the budget to help our neighbors who were affected by the fire. My cousins and I went to the mall earlier to buy the goods for them. We repacked some canned goods, foods, and rice for the victims.
They are in need of clothes, food, canned goods, and some water. I don’t usually post stuff like this, but this time I really need to do this in order to accumulate some help from others and to be able to help them too. I am humbly knocking on your kind heart and any amount will do. A single cent means so much to them and it can already help them in many ways. Your donations will surely be given to the fire victims.
It feels so satisfying to be able to help our people in different ways. In those small ways of helping, it already means a lot to them. A simple act of kindness means everything.
Your single cents are truly appreciated

A Traumatizing Life and Death Battle with Fire
`20th of March, 2022`
`Sunday`
***Fire, water, and the government know nothing of mercy.***
***- Proverb***
The month of March is a fire prevention month and it is already expected that that month will be the month where there will be huge fires occurring everywhere. It is our own duty to prevent fires from happening, to lessen the damage, and ensure that no houses will be burnt to ashes.
***A mighty flame follows a tiny spark.***
Last night, at exactly 7 in the evening, I was sitting in the living room alone, playing with my mom’s phone. They were in the dining room having their dinner, and I decided to have my dinner later since I was still full. Later on, I felt a little itch in my throat, so I opened the window to spit. I noticed in the reflection from the glass window, it was so bright and an enormous red-light color. I looked at it and was totally shocked by what I saw. I began to panic and shouted "**FIRE!**" and saw my mom and grandma running towards me. I then ran out to check and my mom also began to panic as she was worried about my siblings, whose house was just right next to where the fire started.
My cousin asked me what was wrong because I was already trembling in fear, and I told him that there was a huge fire in the neighborhood. When I ran outside, I saw my nephew running towards me and was so shocked. He looked so pale because of what he had witnessed. I asked him where his mother (my sister) and his siblings were and he said that they were still in the house because he was the only one who ran first right when he saw the fire. I was trembling in so much fear and my knees were about to collapse. I couldn’t type proper words on my phone because I was literally shaking.
My mom was about to go to my brother’s house, but I told her not to go there since she’s not totally healed yet. I ran down to the neighbourhood and saw my sister with my niece and nephew. She was so worried because she couldn’t find my other nephew, and I told her that he was already at our grandparents’ house. After I said that, I saw her face feel a little relief. I saw a lot of people gathering and I was so devastated to see the houses slowly getting eaten by the fire. I can’t help but feel emotional seeing those people who were not able to grab their stuff and the only thing they had was themselves. I even saw someone who was just barefoot and topless, and the only thing that he had was the shorts that he wore and his phone.
The fire was so close to where my brother lives (my sister-in-law’s house), that my cousin ran immediately and took my nephew to our grandparents' house. The firemen took so long to arrive, and the fire got bigger and bigger until it got into the other houses and then to another. The power went off and the only light that we had was from the houses that were burning. The crying and shouting of people around us were the only voices that were echoing around us.
The house that was just built a few months ago is now burnt to ashes. The house that was currently being renovated is now turned into charcoal. It was so devastating to watch everyone crying helplessly because they couldn’t do anything to get their things back as they were already eaten by fire.
They took all the water they could find, even the fish pond and mineral water, just to put out the fire. When the firemen arrived, the houses were already crumbled to pieces and the house next door was already burning. The dog that was chained luckily escaped all by himself before the fire got close to him. My cousin was about to set him free, but thankfully he was able to set himself free.
The fire started at 7 in the evening and was finally put out at 11 in the evening. They’d been battling fires for four hours, and thankfully there was no one injured that night. Even though there was no longer fire, you could still feel the heat all over the place and there was still smoke everywhere. We were so thankful that they were able to put out the fire before it got too close to the other houses and might get too close to our house too.
Just this morning, we went back to the scene and we still saw smoke everywhere. The people who lived there went back to see where their house was in the hope of retrieving some of their stuff, even though everything was already burnt to ashes.
The hundred thousand pesos that were kept for her daughter, who will be in college next year, were already turned to ashes, and the only thing that she had left was the coins.
It was another horrible and traumatic night that we had. The first one was the night when we got hit by Super Typhoon Odette’s havoc and now this. It was even better to get hit by a typhoon than to see your house burnt to ashes.
That is why we should always be aware of everything, especially if it’s involved with fire. No matter how small that fire is, it can grow bigger in just the blink of an eye. Always be cautious when dealing with things that may cause a fire.
***Safety starts with awareness. Awareness Starts With You.***
STAY SAFE ALWAYS!

My apologies if I become inactive today because we lost power in here due to the huge fire that happened last night here in a place. It was a devastating night and a traumatizing one.
I will catch up with you guys soon. Thank you.
A Glimpse of my Highschool Memoir: Never Have I Ever
`March 19, 2022`
`Saturday`
It is so true that our high school life was the most memorable of all. This is the time when we get to learn a lot of things, new things, and realizations in life. This is also the time where we get to explore more about ourselves and the people that we encounter on a daily basis. Discovering things that we haven't tried when we were younger. Basically, high school life is the starting point of our lives.
As I read the article of @kingofreview for his **Never Have I Ever school edition**, all of my high school memories began to flood back to me.I just found myself smiling while reading his article because I kept on imagining those funny and memorable moments that I had and those moments that were truly unforgettable. And I can say that my high school days really were a huge part of my life.
So, for today, I will also be writing my version too. With this, I'll be able to reminisce about those precious and fun moments that I had, that is I'll forever treasure even though some of those moments aren't a good example for some students. Well, as what they've said, your highschool life will be boring if you haven't tried breaking the school law at least once. Lol.
Never Have I Ever: High School Edition
**Skipped a class**
I can't count how many times I skipped classes during my highschool days lol. But it's not a serious cutting class because we only do it if there was a program in school or either the teachers were busy. And I know that I may sounds like a bad influence on this, but I am the mastermind of skipping classes. I was the one who will tell my group of friends to skip a class and most of the time I'll tell them on lunch break that we will skip the first period of the afternoon class but the funny thing is that they were all absent but I am present because I will get back to class without telling them that I didn't skip a class. That's how good of a friend I was. Lmao.
**Skip school to do something fun.**
This is also one of the fun and memorable moments of my high school days. My group of friends decided to left school because we were bored at the time, and there was also a school program, and the school guard won't let us leave the the school. Then one of our friend remembered that there was a hole at the back of our campus, so we went there, all eight of us. We've seen some SSG officers roaming around, and we pretended that we won't do anything stupid. Two of our friends were the lookouts, and when the officers finally passed by, we then began to crawl into the small hole, and luckily we all fit in the hole. When it was our last friend's turn to crawl, the two officers saw us, so we ran into the rice fields like criminals, and we all laughed like we had run out of breath. And you know the reason why we skipped school? We just wanted to do some karaoke.
**Cheated on an exam**
Raise your hand if you haven't tried cheating on an exam. I guess that cheating in school is already being normalized by the students and also to some teachers. No matter how they keep on telling the students not to cheat, they will and will always cheat. Inside our classroom, we all cheat during exams and sharing answers all over the room. Even the most silent classmate of ours even cheated during exams. So yeah, I have cheated a lot every exams during highschool days.
**Bullied anyone at school**
I have never bullied anyone at school. And I don't support bullying, I hate seeing someone bullying other students. It just makes my blood boil. But I only bully if it's just my group of friends, it's just a friendly bullying thingy and nothing serious, well, we all bullied each other. Lol.
*As I was writing this one, there was an emergency occur in our place that made us all tremble in fear and panicked. And the reason why I published this article late at night.*
*There was a* ***huge*** ***fire*** *occur in our place and is so close to our house.*
Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening my lovely read cash buddies from all around the globe!

Men
`March 18, 2022`
`Friday`
We are all aware that men aren’t showy about their emotions because they aren’t emotional, whereas girls are more expressive about their emotions. But have you ever wondered what guys feel whenever they’re sad and feeling unhappy? Have you ever thought for a second how they would express their emotions to let go of all the negative feelings they feel? Have you ever asked someone if they’re doing fine or if they were? You didn’t, right? Because we are all mostly of the thought that they are all doing fine and that they don’t need such comforting words. Because Men always hide their weakest side https://read.cash/@Jinifer/men-hide-their-weakest-side-ef33dbbf
I have already published an article related to this before about how men express their emotions and how they deal with them. And today, I will be publishing an article related to that old article of mine, but this time it’ll be the standard of girls' attitudes towards men. If you ever wonder why I write stuff like this when I am not even a guy, well, I like writing about men because, to tell you honestly, I am more interested in tackling men’s emotions than girls'. No offense, ladies.
So, why did I end up writing about men again? Well, I have seen a Facebook shared post by a friend of mine. I rarely check my account, but this time I have to because of some educational matters. While I was scrolling, I bumped into a post that made me stare at it and pause for a moment.
The post was about how grateful the girls were for having a man who traveled an hour and a hundred kilometers just to see them. Well, of course, it is understandable since they’re just flexing how grateful they are for having that kind of man in their lives. It was just a normal Facebook post, but as I read it twice, there was something in the post that really bothered me, and I am not even a guy.
What bothers me is that in her caption she added, "***All girls deserve men like them***." And if you read it once, you don’t seem to care what that phrase is, right? But as you think about it deeper, you’ll realize that there really is something wrong with that phrase, and it puts so much pressure on men.
That phrase puts so much pressure on men out there, especially those who aren’t financially stable enough. Because we couldn’t deny the fact that there will always be a that certain girl who will expect so much from her men, especially those couples who are in a long-distance relationship. I know I haven’t been in a relationship, but as a girl, I know what it feels like when you want to make someone happy, but no matter how much you want it to happen, you just can’t because of problems. As a girl, *you should stop thinking that your man’s financial capability is the same as others. Because something like that gives so much pressure and insecurities to the other men out there who actually want to go to their partners but are not financially capable.*
But if you genuinely love each other, you'll know how to wait because everything will fall into place at the right moment. I just can’t understand why there are some girls and ladies out there who love to put pressure on their men. Such as wanting a fancy date in a fancy restaurant, expecting a bouquet of flowers and surprises just to go along with the trends. I understand that girls will truly appreciate and treasure the moment when their man puts some effort into anything because it means so much to them.
I do hope that if you ever find your other half, I do hope that you guys find happiness in any way.

Intelligence is more attractive than looks
Hey lovelies, how's it going? A few more days and it's going to be the weekend again. Today was just an ordinary day, and next week will be the start of our second semester. It was supposed to be this week, but it was moved to next week because there were still lots of students who were not able to access the school's portal and had problems with their enrolment. As for me, I am already enrolled, but I still haven't received my COR yet. Not just me, but all of my blockmates too. The university has some trouble with their online enrollment thingy, so the students also have trouble with their enrolment.
Enough with that school stuff. For today, I will be sharing with you guys what type of man I'm into and what traits and characteristics I prefer the most. But lemme tell you this, it's not that I'm a man hater (well, I guess I am) Lmao, It's just that I am not that interested in dudes or any guy out there. I haven't found myself yet, falling deeper in love with someone. I don't easily get attracted to guys. That is why most guys that I know would usually call me "picky" or "hard to get". Well, I can't blame them for calling me that, because it's quite true too. Sorry, not sorry. lol.
So, how did I end up writing this one? Well, yesterday I bumped into Mareng @ExpertWritter article about her "This or That" but her type's version, and I find it interesting since most "This or That" contents here are more about our lives, and I find it unique too since it talks about what type of person we like. So, thanks, marecakes, for giving me an idea of what to write about today because my mind was floating today and I couldn't come up with a decent topic to write about. https://read.cash/@ExpertWritter/this-or-that-which-one-is-your-type-8a028bc9
Here we go!
Wear glasses or not?
It can be both. It all depends on his eyesight. Kidding aside, I really don't mind if he's wearing glasses or not, but as what I've observed over the years of encountering and interacting with guys, most guys kind of look cool and smart when they're wearing glasses. I don't know what's with the glasses, though. When someone wears glasses, we can then conclude that that person is either smart or a genius. But yeah, I prefer both, depending on their eyes.
Younger or older?
Well, well, well, of course I always prefer someone who's 2 to 4 years older than me. I don't like someone their same age as me because I find him younger than me. I don't know, why is that? Are you guys also like that, or is it just me? Haha. I only find guys that are younger than me a cute little ones even though I'm only one year older. And yeah, I'm into guys who are older than me. lol
Taller or shorter?
Taller but not too tall, as that would make you appear to be a giant. I prefer an average height. And if you want to know how short I am, well, I'm too short because I'm a cute small potato. I am 4' 11". I'm not even kidding. If only I could lie with my height, lol. Well, I do lie about my height, way back in my high school days. During our physical education time, I added two inches to my height so that I looked like I had gained a few inches when the truth is I hadn't. I sometimes even tiptoed a little just to add a few inches to it. But it's been two years since I last checked my height. Maybe I'm no longer 4'11". Teehee.
Nerdy or hot?
Intelligence is way more sexy and attractive than physical appearance. What was that thing called when you're attractive to intelligence? Sapiosexual? Whatever. lol. I always prefer a guy who prioritizes his studies first before anything else. I am not that type of girl who drools over six-pack muscles. I admit that they look cool, but not to the point that they end up sexualizing that thing. I like guys that are good at academic stuff but can also socialize with other people and are also down to earth and I find them attractive compared to other guys out there who are only good at making themselves look cool but can't even solve a simple math equations.

First times are always memorable and fun
***0160302022***
Hello there, my lovely and super-wholesome read.cash buddies. What is up everyone?
We’re already in the middle of the month and in a few more days, we will be welcoming the month of April, which is also my birth month. You know what, I have literally no idea that next month will be the month of April. I swear, I am not even kidding. lol. I just found out today when I accidentally opened the calendar on my laptop. I just forgot my birthday and birth month for a moment, and when I looked at the next following month of March, that’s when I realized that April was my birth month. I just laughed when I suddenly remembered my birthday because I literally forgot about it. lol.
And for today, I will be sharing some of my first-time memories that are still intact in my precious core memories, and most of them are totally hilarious. So, I read one of Ate @Yen ’s articles the other day about her first-time encounters, and I can relate to some of her first experiences too, and it made me want to write mine as it brings back those memories of my childhood. So, without further ado, here we go!
**My first time riding a pump boat**
https://www.bohol.ph/pics/large/IMG_0825.jpg
For those who didn’t know, pump boats, commonly called ***"bangka"*** in the Philippines, are small boats powered by a diesel engine and used for inter-island transportation and fishing.
I can’t fully remember how young I was at that time, but I can still remember the destination where we were going during that time. That day, I was with my mom, and we were travelling alone to the city. That day, we were visiting my father's hometown, which is on the island of Cordova in Cebu. And it was also my first time visiting that place. Out of all of my siblings, I am the only one who hasn’t visited my father’s hometown, so mom decided to take me with her. When we arrived at the pier, I was amazed to see boats everywhere.I have seen small boats in our province, but I haven’t seen so many boats or big boats. When we boarded the pump boat, it was a big pump boat, and there were many passengers on board at that time. I was so careful crossing to the boat because I imagined that if I slipped, I might fall into the water and might drown. Lol
When we finally were able to take a seat, I was seated on the left side, and when the boat started, I felt like my head was spinning and my stomach was also in the water. We aren’t wearing a life vest because the life vest was just on top of us. Every time I look at the water, I can’t help but imagine what if the boat sinks and what if we drown and then the shark eats all of us. LMAO.
**My first time riding an escalator**
https://bestlifeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2018/01/Escalator.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&ssl=1
My first time riding on an escalator also took place in the city of Cebu. It happened after the Sinulog festival, two days after the event. Our uncle brought us to the mall along with my cousins to treat us as his Christmas gift to us. It was also my first time entering that mall, and I was not familiar with everything in my surroundings. When we finally entered the mall, we went upstairs and took the escalator.
Every time I ride an escalator, I will always remember the first time I rode one. When I was young, I always watched Final Destination, and we all knew that it was a gore movie. When it was my turn to take a step on the escalator, it took me a few minutes to finally have the courage to take a step because I was so freaking scared that my feet would get stuck in the escalator and my whole body would then get stuck too, and I might die in that mall stuck on an escalator, which is so embarrassing. lol.
It's funny because even today, there is still a part of me that gets scared that my feet might get stuck. Even though I’ve been riding an escalator a hundred times, there’s still this childhood trauma in me that will probably get stuck in my memory forever.

Animals that I want but I can't have
We all have that one favorite animal in the animal kingdom, and that one favorite animal is something that we can't have or pet.
I do really love animals, especially those big cats. I love their fluffy fur and their humongous size. It makes me want to lay on them. I love every animal except snakes, alligators, and crocodiles. Well, I guess we all have certain animals that we hate. But not literally hate, it's just that I don't like everything that crawls, especially snakes. They really are scary. But not all snakes are scary to look at. Some of them look cute too.
These are the animals that I really want to have and be close to, but I just can't.
Big cats
**(Lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard)**
If you're like me, who also loves to watch Animal Planet and National Geographic, then you know that big cats are mostly the animals that are always featured in the shows. Their hunting skills and their aggressiveness give them more power to make their prey not want to mess with them.
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flive.staticflickr.com%2F65535%2F49690611963_63bd5574c7_b.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bath.ac.uk%2Fannouncements%2Fscientists-investigate-why-females-live-longer-than-males%2F&tbnid=T6Lw-O6TLd19FM&vet=1&docid=jb0Y6eXsw62yFM&w=1024&h=579&itg=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim
The Lion: A lion's bravery is one of its characteristics, and they have no fear of other animals.That is why they are called the kings of the jungle because of their big and masculine bodies and their loud roar that makes other animals shiver in fear. But not just that. What I like most about the lions is the way they protect their lionesses, whatever the situation is. Unlike any other animal, some animals just leave their partners behind in a difficult situation, but a lion will never leave his lioness behind and will fight till death to protect his lioness.
Pandas
I guess we already know what we like about pandas. Their fluffy bodies that look like giant cotton balls and their cute circular faces Pandas are gentle, but they can be aggressive too if something triggers them. If you have seen the animated movie Kung Fu Panda, you know how crackheaded the main character is. And just in real life, they are way more crazy than the animated panda. They look like stuffed toys, and they're just like what the kids do.
Wolves
I read @Lucifer01 Luci's article yesterday about the wolves and I totally agree with him about the wolves. Wolves are giant dogs that will surely eat you alive and tear you to pieces. They are known to be aggressive, especially if you're a threat to them. They were in a pack and they followed what their leader did. What I like about them is their leadership in their packs and their teamwork when dealing with predators and other threats to them. When I was younger, I really thought that I could pet wolves and I thought that huskies were wolves too. But right now, they have already bred wolves to a different breed of dog, and now there are many wolf dogs.
Grizzly Bear
I bet you noticed that the animals that I mentioned were all fluffy and hairy, and yes, I do really love fluffy animals with thick fur. It makes me want to hug them so badly. Grizzly bears are pretty scary, and aside from their huge bodies, their claws are also one of the things that make them look powerful. They also have the ability to climb trees and have the high speed of running. It sounds funny, but you know what, I sometimes envied those Russians who can pet bears whenever they want. And I guess they aren't scared of bears because the bears are the ones who are scared of them. It may sound ridiculous, but it is mostly true.lol. Well, only in Russia.
I really envy those amazing people who can pet wild animals, especially those animals that are powerful like lions and tigers. I am a subscriber to this one YouTuber who is Dean Schneider. I really love how he cares for and protects animals and rescues those that are in need of help. The way he took good care of them shows how the animals treated him too. He has become part of the lion's pack and other animals that live in his sanctuary. I salute him for his goodness towards the animals.
https://youtu.be/65DuuB9E0vI
That is why, if I am ever successful and am able to earn more money, I will definitely build a shelter for those stray cats and dogs and those helpless animals that are in need of help.
What about you, what is that animal you want but you can't have?

Hello there, fever
***0140302022***
*If you're happy all day, expect that there will be something horrible in return.*
Happy Monday, lovelies! How are you, my wholesome read cash buddies? I hope you guys had a fantastic weekend and are all doing fine. As for me, I'm not totally fine at all, but I'm trying to be okay again and regain my strength.
After I arrived home last Saturday, I was soaked in rain because it rained heavily in the afternoon right when we were about to drive home. I was with my friend at that time, as he's the one who drove me off last Saturday. And just in time, when we arrived in our town, the rain poured heavily so that we didn't even have time to look for some shelter. He just dropped me off in town, and I still need to find a tricycle on my way home. When I arrived at my home, the rain was even worse, along with lightning and thunder.
When I arrived home, I took a shower and then drank some hot coffee to keep me warm. After that, I had my dinner and then took some medicine. But when I woke up the next morning, my head hurt like crazy. It hurt so badly that I couldn't breathe properly because of my clogged nose. That even worsened my sinusitis and made my head hurt even more. I could literally feel my body burning. My forehead was so hot. I was the only one touching my face, and every part of my body was on fire.
But then I forced myself to get up because my mom also has a fever and hers is so much worse because she's also having allergies because her face shows redness all over and there's something popping out all over her body. Even though I also have a fever and my body is weak, I still forced my body to work and prepared some milk for mine and my mom's. I told my sister to buy some bread and medicine.
Yesterday was also my cousin's birthday and they were busy preparing all of the foods. They even tasked me with cutting the onions and other spices. After that, I went back to the room where my mom was, and then I decided to sleep next to her because I suddenly got tired. I felt the visitors started arriving because the noises got louder and louder and even our neighbors did some small gathering with their group and played on repeat the most annoying song ever, which is the mf "paro-paro g". Wtf? I'm sure you'll get annoyed too if you hear that song playing on repeat.
Our family didn't do some karaoke because the next day would be Monday, and it's back to work day. My cousins didn't even drink any alcohol, and only our uncles did some small shots. It was so much fun listening to them talk about random stuff. You know what, it really is so much fun listening to our uncles, especially if they start talking about their younger selves. Their topic went from the world war then to politics. Lmao. I swear, if you're here with me and hear them talking, I bet you'll laugh as well.
At 5, in the afternoon, they ended their "tagay" because all of them still have to work tomorrow. When it started to get quiet, my head started to get hurt too. When I was with my uncle, I was just laughing all the time, and I even forgot that I had a fever. But then when everyone was gone, my body reacted differently again. My sinusitis attacked and it hurts so badly that I almost punched my nose because it really hurts too badly. I've been massaging it with some vapor rub, but it temporarily eases the pain, and then later on it strikes again.
Last night became my worst night because I couldn't sleep properly because of my headache, clogged nose, and sinuses. Last night I just kept beatboxing because of the cough. lol. Never-ending beatboxing with atomic bombings that are even louder.If you know what I mean, I went to bed at 7 in the evening, but then until 11 pm I was still awake because I couldn't sleep. I've been massaging my beads to keep myself relaxed, and thankfully I was able to sleep because of the vapor rub.
And just this morning, I woke up so early because I couldn't breathe. My nose just won't let me sleep peacefully. I woke up at 4 am and couldn't sleep again. So I just take my phone and write something.
It sucks because today is the start of our second semester and we still haven't gotten our internet connection back. I don't want to pay it, "bahala kayo diyan." I'll just buy and use my own pocket WiFi that only I, myself, can connect to. lol.
My apologies if you encountered some grammatical error and typographical error. I hope you'll understand teehee.
Have a great day ahead and stay safe always ❣️
A Road Trip Under The Strong Windy Rain
***0301202022***
Hello, hello there. What is up, my lovely read cash buddies? How's it going? How was your Saturday and how did you spend your weekend? Was it fun? I hope it does, and you spend it with your whole family and get to have family bonding time. Today, I am not feeling well because of the abnormal weather that makes my body feel abnormal too.
Last night, I checked the weather forecast here in our place to be aware of the weather conditions for today, and as I googled it, it says that there will be a heavy thunderstorm today. But when I woke up this morning, it was so sunny and the sky was so blue, it even got hotter in the afternoon. I was expecting rain this morning due to the weather forecast, but instead it's extremely hot and sunny.
I woke up early, took a bath, and prepared everything. I decided to arrive early because my group mates and I will be meeting at our university, which we decided to meet at because it is the most accessible place for us to meet because it is in the middle and we all live so far apart, so to be fair, we decided to meet at our university, which we all agreed to.
It was 9 in the morning, but the sun's heat when it touches my skin feels like it's burning. It was so freaking hot, even though it was just nine in the morning. I left the house at exactly 9 am, but before I got out, my grandpa asked me if I had some money for my bus fair, and I told them that I didn't have any cash, but I would just cash out some for my bus fair and pocket money. But then my grandpa handed me some money. Even though I had already told him that I would get some money, he insisted that I should take it. Hays, grandparents are the most precious people in the world!
I waited for like 20 minutes for the bus to arrive, and thank goodness it didn't take me too long to wait for the bus. I took the bus to get to the university, and it took me an hour to arrive at our school. I felt a little dizzy because of our rollercoaster ride and the bus driver felt like he was driving the bus at the speed of light. lol.
I arrived at our university at almost 12 in the afternoon, so we decided to have lunch first before doing what was really the purpose of the meet up. It's been so long since I arrived at our university. There are lots of changes, especially since there are already new buildings everywhere and the campus even looks fancier than before. It even has a cafeteria. Too bad we won't be able to get to enjoy our new and improved university since we will be taking our on-the-job training soon.
Why is it that every time we leave our school it gets more beautiful, unlike when we were there?
The four of us were already present, so we went to our other classmates and decided to do our work in their house. But you already know what happens. 10% doing the work, 90% chismisaning and backstabbing the teachers and classmates we all despised.lol. Well, if this isn't you, then I don't know what to say.
We ended up doing just a little work because we were more focused on talking and laughing like there's no tomorrow. Well, it's been so long since we got to gather and hang out again together, and it's understandable.
It was already 4 in the afternoon when we decided to go home. My friend has a motorcycle and he said to me that I could hop on his motorcycle so that I could save some money, and thankfully he brought two helmets. As we get closer to our town, I can feel the wind starting to get colder and the clouds getting darker and darker. I can tell that it's already raining so badly on the other side because of the black clouds.
When we arrived in our town, the rain began to pour heavily. It's raining and I didn't even bring an umbrella with me. My friend dropped me off at a bakery because he couldn't get me to our house because of the strong wind and rain. I just rode a tricycle to our barangay. But the rain gets even stronger as we get closer to my place. The tricycle driver just dropped me off on the highway, and I ran for my life just to not get wet in the cold rain. I looked for shelter and waited for the rain to stop, but it got even worse. So I contacted my brother to come get me with an umbrella. Low-key me gets scared AF when lightning strikes. Even though I already had an umbrella, I still got soaked in the rain because I was running. I'm literally scared of lightning. To be honest, I'm not even kidding.
At exactly 6:20, I arrived at our home, and I was so soaked in the rain. I breathed so heavily because I was running under the rain. After I changed my clothes, my head started to get so freaking bad. It literally hurt so badly.
I can already tell that fever is already waving at me right now.
These Nightmares Keep Bugging Me
***0110302022***
***Do you have that nightmare that keeps on bugging you every night? to the point that you can’t sleep and it keeps you up all night.***
Happy Friday Night, everyone! How’s it going, my lovely and super awesome read cash buddies? What’s your plan for this weekend? Or did you guys just start planning your weekend gateway? Better plan that now, lovelies, and wear that new pair of swimsuits you just got and flex it all! As for me, my weekends will be more focused on acads, and I will be meeting my groupmates tomorrow to finalize our thesis again. And it sucks because I am back to using mobile data again because we forgot to pay our internet bills. And because of the bloody market, I decided to not pay the bill. This time, I will let them pay the internet bill. Well, in fact, they should be the ones paying for it because they’re the ones who used it the most. Especially these cousins of mine who stay up all night and almost don’t sleep while playing Mobile Legends.
Well, let’s move on to that. I have read this article by Kuys Kudo @meitanteikudo with his new prompt about nightmares and dreams. I also read Ate @Pachuchay's entry too, and I really find it interesting, especially that it’s about horror and nightmare stuff. So, I have here my entry for Kuya Kudo’s prompt. https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/a-dream-a-nightmare-and-a-horror-story-fe387943
Are there any dreams or nightmares from your childhood that stand out to you?
All of my nightmares are pretty weird, and they keep on bugging me all night, especially during my early teenage years. Where it keeps on reappearing for like a consecutive day. It really is weird. I have shared my weird and sometimes scary nightmares here before. Those nightmares of mine that they always wanted to get me killed, and what’s weirder is that the people involved are the people that I know. Some of them are even my close friends and relatives. My dreams and nightmares really wanted me to die in my sleep, and luckily, I always survived with those never-ending chases in my dreams. I guess even in my sleep, my guardian angels do still protect me and won’t let me get hurt even in my dreams.
I have this one nightmare of mine which turned out to be sleep paralysis. It is so much scarier than it may sound. If you haven’t experienced getting attacked in your sleep, then consider yourself lucky. Getting attacked in your nightmare is the worst thing in someone’s life. It's probably one of the worst things to happen to you because you can’t do anything nor move. You’ll literally become hopeless, and your only way of surviving is by praying.
If you want to find out what that nightmare is, you might want to check it out here **Demons Under My Bed**. I published this article last year. And if you’re interested in reading something creepy that gives off some kind of eerie vibe, Then I’d very much appreciate it if you’d read it. https://read.cash/@Jinifer/demons-under-my-bed-32a06420
What is the scariest ghost story you know?
It’s not that I am playing and pretending to be tough, but I am the type of person who doesn’t usually get scared easily. And I haven’t encountered a ghost yet. My family was staying temporarily at our grandparents' house, and I always stayed up late alone in our house. I like to stay in our house alone because it’s quiet and no one can disturb me while doing all of my school work and activities. The only light that I had was in the kitchen, and the rest of the house is very dark. I've heard some noises, particularly on the roof, where I can feel some footsteps above. But I really don’t mind it all. I even looked outside to check what that was and I just found a cute white cat. I even petted it. LOL.
Every time that I am busy with my activities, I always stay up late at night. I always notice that every midnight, either the white cat or the black cat will appear. And I don't mind at all; I consider them my kitty friends, and they are my constant companions whenever I am doing my activities at night.
Before our house was built, there was a single, very tall coconut, and my grandpa said that there was a huge man living in that coconut tree. My grandma even said that there was a white lady and a black lady at the back of our house. I used to get scared of that story when I was younger, but as I got older, I began to clearly realize that ghosts aren’t scary and we’re not supposed to be scared of them because they’re dead. What we should be scared of are the living ones, the humans. Because they are capable of things that are way scarier than what a ghost does.

Hoooyy salamatsu marecakes @kli4d this made my day 🥺😍
Super Mar10
***0301002022***
Last Tuesday was International Women's Day. Where we express our gratitude to the powerful and strong women out there, particularly the lovely women who supported their families on their own, as well as the tough single parents.Those fathers who are also mothers to their children.You guys are truly the best! And I salute you for that.
I have already shared here about my parents, and my mom is a widow since we lost our father five years ago. Even though my mom is the only one who provided for us, she was still able to give us everything that she could. She didn't let us see how tired she was; she remained tough and strong. Even though I can tell that she's already tired, she doesn't let weakness let her down. I am so proud of my mother, and she is the best mother I could ever have.
That is why I always make certain to give her whatever she desires if she requests something from me or requests a favor. By doing simple things, I can see how happy she is if I was the one who paid the bills, such as the water bill, electric bill, and internet bill. We knew that our parents' biggest problem would always be a financial one. That is why if I have extra money, I will always give it to her. Sometimes I give almost everything to her, or I will only keep 100 pesos and give the rest to her. I don't usually buy anything; I will only buy snacks if I want to, so it didn't bother me at all. And I don't usually go out, and I'm always at home 24/7, so it's totally fine if I don't have cash left lol.
That is why one of my biggest fears is achieving my goals without them witnessing my achievements in life. And for me, it feels like I didn't achieve a thing. That's why, as early as I can, I want them to witness my small achievements and to at least make them proud. And to see how happy they are. I can't be successful without them. I want them to still be with me when I'm already achieving my goals. I want them to witness my success.
Today is Thursday and it always feels like yesterday was Monday and then the next day would be Monday again. Time really flies so freaking fast, and we're not getting younger anymore. Time flies so fast, and that means we're aging so fast too. lol. If only we could stop time for an hour.
But by the way, did you know that today is Mario Day? I mean, it's Mar10. In appreciation of our legendary childhood games, Super Mario. "Oh yeah, Mario time!". If February has 2.22.22, then March also has Super Mar10. Yeah, I know. I'm too random, LMAO. But I take this day as a lucky and blessed day. I hope to have a productive new semester this coming semester.
I have seen positive posts and good vibes about this amazing Mar10 day, and I do hope everyone also had an amazing and fun Mar10.
May you all have a fun and amazing Mario day!

Yooooww @BreadChamp , saw that! Arigathanks sis ☺️
First comes first
***090302022***
Heeyyaa! How's it going, my dear read cash buddies? It's a wonderful day, even though it rained again this morning. It's still a great day and we should all be thankful that we're still breathing the same air.
I was a bit busy today because I went to the town to meet with my group mates to finalize our thesis. I don't know why, but every time I mention this one, everything will suddenly flashback to the day that I despise the most. And an update on our thesis: they stated that they would read it later after reviewing the previous one. And guess what? Until now, they still haven't viewed or read our thesis paper. And now you tell me if it's not unfair. Lmao.
Let's forget that since that's not what we're going to be talking about today. I read @Athaliah 's article the other day with her random "first lists" and I'm quite intrigued by it. Since I don't have a proper topic to write about this day, I have decided to try this challenge of hers. It's quite interesting and entertaining too.
**The first app you check when you wake up in the morning.**
Before, the first app that I immediately opened when I woke up in the morning was a mobile game called Call of Duty Mobile (CODM). And yes, I admit that I was addicted to that game before. I can't believe that I was able to multitask before, playing CODM while attending an online class lmao. I literally wake up early in the morning just to be able to play at least five battle royale games. But today, the first app that I check is my Bitcoin.com wallet, and you already know why, because I bet I'm not the only one doing this. It has become my morning routine to check the BCH price right when I wake up.
**Tell me about your first celebrity crush.**
I can't remember my first local celebrity crush, but I had my first international celebrity crush on Justin Bieber. I got hooked by his song "baby". I was so obsessed with him before, I even counted our age gap. Like, what the heck? LOL. Except for his looks, what I really liked about him before was his soothing voice, which was so relaxing to hear whenever he sang. But right now, I'm still listening to some of his songs, and I'm impressed by how his voice doesn't change at all.
**Tell me about your first cooking experience.**
Ohh cooking huh. Well, we Pinoy kids really are good at cooking, even when we were still young. We used to play "bahay bahayan" when we were young. We would take any food or leftovers from each of our houses and bring them to our mini house, where we would cook it into something edible and actually eat it. My first cooking experience was the time when I cooked a vegetable soup, or what we call "otan" in Bisaya. We will just take the vegetables that our neighbor planted. We will just steal some of their veggies. One eggplant, a few moringga, and some other veggies we can grab. lol. And honestly, it turned out good and we really ate it. We brought some leftover rice and we ate it in our mini play house.
**What is your first favorite cartoon?**
Mickey Mouse! The first and the old original Mickey Mouse. I still remember the CDs and DVDs that my father bought every time there was a fiesta in town. Whenever there's a fiesta, I will always tell my parents to go with them and take a look in a CD store; there are vendors everywhere all along the road. I don't usually buy toys because I will immediately go look for some CDs so that we can watch our favorite movies when we come home. Oh how I miss the good old days.

Historical Filipino Films That You Should Watch
***080302022***
Happy Tuesday, my super duper awesome and lovely read cash buddies! Did you guys have a great day today? I woke up feeling good this morning. It’s because when I looked at the window, I saw the sun rays reflecting through the glass windows. I woke up early and went outside to see the beautiful view of the beautiful weather. It’s sunny, and the sky is already clear and no longer gloomy. It’s been raining these past few days, and thank God Mr. Sunshine showed up this morning, and aside from that, we were able to dry our clothes since it’s no longer raining. lol.
For those who don’t know, I am a huge fan of history or any other historical movies or documentaries. I have mentioned here once before how I am so obsessed with history and I wouldn’t hesitate to time travel to the old times if they wanted me to. I have been watching American and Filipino historical movies, especially those times of war. Not just Americans and Filipinos, but also Japanese and other countries, especially those countries that had a very big impact on the world’s history.
As I was watching some movies, it made me want to share it with my read cash buddies, especially those friends of mine that lives on the other side of the globe. This made me want to recommend to you guys some of these awesome Filipino historical movies. Maybe you’ll find some of these interesting to watch.
El Presidente
This story shows the life of the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, who was Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, from the Spanish era until the Filipino independence. I don’t want to talk more about the first President, I want you guys to know and discover Aguinaldo for yourselves. Maybe, in the end, we will have the same thoughts about him. But I would be totally surprised if you praised him in the end.
Heneral Luna
Probably the best Filipino historical film ever made. The characters, the setting and the way the portrayers act and express their emotions as if they were present at that time is such a marvelous act. The characters made the movie even more interesting and catchy for the people. This is the story of the leadership, heroics, and bravery of the great patriotic Heneral Luna, portrayed by John Arcilla. This movie is more about bloodshed and wars, so remember if you ever watch this, you will surely encounter gruesome scenes in the movie. This film is a slap in the face to my fellow Filipinos who aren't patriotic and who despise their country (I'm guilty as well). Actually, we don’t hate our country, we hate the people. After watching this movie, it leaves me with so many realizations as a Filipino person, especially those lines that live rent-free in my mind, like, *"Mas magandang mamatay sa digmaan kaysa magpasakop sa dayuhan." "Negosyo o Kalayaan? Bayan o sarili, pumili ka!"* and these phrases still gives me goosebumps.
Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral
This story is about the first young general in the Philippines and he is, Gregorio "Goyo" Del Pillar. This movie shows his bravery and great leadership for the Filipino people in protecting the country from the Americans. This is the sequel to the movie "Heneral Luna." The character played by Paulo Avelino is a good-looking guy, as was the real Gregorio del Pilar. But not gonna lie, he is a womanizer lol, can’t blame him though for he is indeed a good-looking guy. LMAO.
Quezon’s Game
Manuel Quezon, the second President of the Philippines. The story is about the president making the Philippines a refuge for the Jewish people from Germany during world war when Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate all Jewish people, which was called the Holocaust. This film also shows how Jewish people were treated before, and how they were discriminated against and treated badly by the Nazis. Even though the president was suffering from tuberculosis, we were still able to welcome and save thousands of Jews before he died.
1898, Our Last Men in the Philippines
This is **NOT** a Filipino film. This is the Spaniards' point of view during the war between Filipinos and Spaniards during the time that they arrived on the island of the Philippines. This is the story of how the Spaniards' soldiers fought for life in the war. As much as we Filipinos despise them for what they have done to our country and to our helpless Filipino people, they are still humans too. They are just soldiers who followed their upper command.
I do hope you guys will watch some of this and find it entertaining and educational to watch. I hope you all enjoy watching this!

My Favorite Tim Burton Movie Collection
***070302022***
Heeyaa! Hello, there. How are you doing, my darling, amazing read cash buddies? How did your weekends turn out for you? Was it a tumultuous weekend or a drizzly day? I hope the weather in your region was sunny and pleasant. In my case, it has been pouring incessantly. There are occasions when it rains fiercely, but most of the time it's only a single little raindrop that wets the ground. But that's OK because I like this kind of weather; it's just dreary, great for a movie marathon with a cup of coffee on the side. It's undeniably a state of mind.
Well, let’s move forward and see what the title of this article is all about. Are you also the type of person who loves to watch Tim Burton’s awesome movies? What are your favorite movies directed by him? Tim Burton is a famous director who has directed such movies as Alice in Wonderland, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I grew up watching Tim Burton’s movies ever since I was young, along with my cousins and my aunt and uncle. Yes, you read it right. My aunts and uncles also love to watch Tim Burton’s movies, and because of them, I get to discover some more interesting movies directed by him.
I have listed here the following Tim Burton’s movies that I really like or more like my favourite among the rest.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
https://occ-0-2794-2219.1.nflxso.net/dnm/api/v6/E8vDc_W8CLv7-yMQu8KMEC7Rrr8/AAAABVzEGAt-fZ7NGa_4V2xQSBCP2L72pzlAV96CM2gkiULI6YqO0u4yxj4aheFdEUQ-oagBwOci9mA9Rvs_BRDHeMbXA5Zz.jpg?r=07b
Top Tier This will always and forever be one of my favorite movies of all time. Because, even at this age, every time I watched this movie, the little child in me would get so delighted and hyped every time my favorite scene appeared. My favorite scene was in Candy Land, where there is a chocolate river where the first chubby kid gets sucked up with a vacuum tube. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was a story about a young boy who lives in a very tiny house along with his parents and his grandparents. He luckily won the golden ticket from the Wonka chocolate bar. A golden ticket that gives you access to enter the famous Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Rda83zzyTXu62u42m7ZQvZ.jpg
What I like about this stop motion animated film are its unique story and its very catchy songs. Songs like, "This is Halloween," "What’s this?" and "Mr. Sandy Claus" We didn’t miss a time to watch this movie every Christmas and Halloween. I really love this movie. The film recounts the antics of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become tired of his annual routine of terrifying people in the real world until he unintentionally wanders into Christmas Town, which is full of brilliant colors and pleasant spirits. He dreams up a scheme to seize control of Christmas by capturing Santa Claus and using his position to become Santa Claus. But even the best-laid plots of rodents and skeleton men may go horribly wrong, as Jack quickly realizes. This is the first and only stop-motion animated musical I've ever enjoyed. This movie has some incredible storyline twists! And I bet some of you here have already watched this, and for those who haven’t, I highly recommend this one!
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
https://baylorlariat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/enter-missperegrine-movie-review-mct.jpg
The fantasy and heroic bravery of the kids, who each have unique superpowers, battle with an unseen monster that only Jake can see. I love watching sci-fi and fantasy movies. That’s why I easily get attached to this movie. Even though I haven’t read the book, I already like the movie, even though I can’t tell the difference between the two.
Corpse Bride
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTI3NDU5NzU3OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzIxNzgyMw@@._V1_.jpg
The second stop-motion animated film that I like is My favorite line from this movie would be their wedding vows, which is like,
*"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows.*
*Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine.*
*With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.*
*With this ring, I ask you to be mine. "*
If ever I get married, I want this to be my wedding vows LOL. So basically, this movie was about Victor, who is bound to be married to Victoria, whom he hasn’t met. Both their parents arranged their marriage, but because of the sudden events, neither of them was ready yet. As Victor wanders into the forest while practicing his vow, he accidentally marries the corpse bride.
As you have noticed, most of Tim Burton’s movie characters were played by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, the best duo ever. The duo can pull off any characters or roles that the director assigned to them. They truly are a legendary duo!
What's your favorite Tim Burton's film?

I Found Solace in the Rhythm of the Sea.
***060302022***
Hey there, my lovely read-cash buddies! How’s it going? You know what, I missed saying these lines to you. It’s been so long since I greeted you like this, which is my usual greeting every time I publish an article.
I’ve been so stressed out these past few days because there are so many things that need to be done and also with our thesis thingy, which I published yesterday about my rants. I’ll tell you honestly, I haven’t had a relaxing time with myself since the beginning of the year, because I was just staying in the house all day. I only get out if I want to, but most of the time I’m only staying in my room and lay in bed all day. Yesterday was the first time that I went to the beach in 2022.
Yesterday was my tito’s (uncle) 50th birthday, and they decided to celebrate it at the beach and just rented two cottages. I was hesitant at first to go with them because I was not feeling well and my head hurt so badly last night, but then the only thing that I thought about was the smell of the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves.
When we arrived at the beach, the weather was not really in a good mood and it was so gloomy that the sun hadn’t appeared or taken a small peak under the clouds. In fact, it was a perfect day to swim and dip in the salty water because you won’t have a problem with sunburn. Too bad for me, I couldn’t swim and dip my body in the water because I had a fever that day. All I could do was let the waves splash through my feet. But the funny thing is that I wasn’t able to swim because I got a fever, but then I ended up getting wet in the rain.
When I get close to the salty water, I feel like my mind was filled with happy thoughts at that time, like all of my stress and negative thoughts had been washed off along with the waves.
I feel the ocean breeze blowing through my hair, and I smell the salty air that wraps around my skin. I feel the comfort that the ocean has given to me. The soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. There’s nothing way more comfortable than nature’s warmest comfort.
The rain doesn’t stop me from taking too many photos of the sea. Luckily, it only rains heavily once, and then small rain showers.
I waited for the sunset, but too bad for the last time the sun didn’t show up, even for once. But I was still able to capture a peaceful sunset view. At exactly 5 in the afternoon, I stayed on the shore for a bit to stare at the calm ocean and listen to a soothing wave. It was so calm that it made me want to stay there forever. I don’t want to leave that place.
Sitting on the shore with a cup of coffee and an ocean view is perfect.
That day, my mind was only filled with positive thoughts and positive energy. All of the negative vibes and stressful thoughts felt like they were being washed off along with the waves. And I am so happy because, even just for a day, I get to rest my mind from the stressful week I had this year.
This is a recharge that I really need. and I’m satisfied with it. :>
And if you feel like you need some recharge too, here take a sip. (*I know what you're thinking, but it's not what you think. This is a beer!*)
Shot ka muna oh! LOL

RANT: Thesis Gone Wrong
***030502022***
Who's at fault here?
Yesterday was our final thesis defense, as I have shared with you guys. I invested my time, money, and effort into our thesis paper just to finish everything and present it to the panelists all done.
But then everything crumpled to pieces. It felt like we were being betrayed by them. We can't help but feel played around by them. It's unfair, totally unfair.
I was hesitant to publish this, but I don't have someone to let my rant out. This is the only platform that I can express all my emotions. The only platform that understands what I feel. You're the only people that I feel comfortable sharing my rants with. I'm comfortable because there will be no judgment. Well, I guess there is, but at least we're all strangers here, so it's totally fine with me since you guys don't know me personally.
So here it is. This is what happened yesterday that literally worsened my depression.
Two consecutive weeks of sleepless nights, where the maximum amount of sleep that I got was only 5 hours of sleep. I gave all of my efforts and time to our thesis. I even sacrificed my meal just to give more focus on our thesis.
We were informed five days before our defense by our adviser, so we only had five days to finalize everything, so we did everything to support our thesis. We're done with the survey and everything the day before our defense, so we're basically all ready with our thesis paper. My group mates even suggested that we volunteer to be the first presentor. We're all excited and ready to present. We are confident that we can nail it off during our thesis defense. Our confidence level was so over the top.
Our adviser then gave the numbers of each presentors, and we were the second ones to present. When the first one presented their thesis, they were kind of off. Their thesis paper was unfinished, and they were literally not ready yet, so they were given another week to finish everything. Then our turn was up and we started to present our thesis paper. I was the one who opened and welcomed the presentation. I was so confident and presented everything in our power point presentation. When we were done presenting our PowerPoint, we then prepared ourselves for the questions. But, we didn't expect what happened next.
After our presentation, the first sentence that we heard from one of the panelists was, "*You'll need to go back from the start*," and we were like, "WTF?!" What was that? Are you freaking serious? We were dumfounded about what he said. My jaw literally dropped when I heard it. He even said that everything in our thesis paper was literally the same from the last time and nothing had changed. We didn't do anything. He commented that our survey questionnaires were not even aligned with the SOP and that we should avoid using "Yes or No" questions. Like, WTF we're using an agreement type of survey questionnaire, we're not using a fckng Yes or No question. We all wondered where the hell he got those.
We couldn't even defend ourselves or talk about our paper because he wouldn't let us talk. He's the only one that keeps on talking. He sounded like he was against us, like he hated our group. Then the other panelist commented with a positive comment that at least lessened our negative mood because of the previous panelist. The second panelist said that our PowerPoint presentation was good and all the information was there, but he gave us notes and corrections about our paper, and he then said that we should avoid using Yes or No, and we were like, "*Why do you guys keep saying avoid using Yes or No when we're not even using that?*"
We were so disappointed because we really did our best and we were confident that we could pull it off, but then all of a sudden it turns out like that. We began to wonder about their comments, so I checked the Google drive where we had submitted our paper and ppt, and there we saw that the paper that they had reviewed was our old research paper. It was the freakin' old paper! That's why they're saying that our paper was unfinished. We're so mad because of what happened. I don't know if they meant it, or if they just didn't notice the new paper that I submitted, or if he just hated us that badly.
We approached our professor and informed him about it, saying that the old paper was the one they had reviewed and not the new one. So then our professor informed the panelists, and the first panelist was, "*yeah, maybe*" and then they ended the meeting. There are only two groups that got their thesis papers passed, and I can tell that we're all the same. We did the same thing to our papers as they did to theirs. So we were so mad, literally! Our professor informed us through messenger that they would just read it later, our new thesis paper. WTF??
**It's so unfair! UNFAIR**! It's like we're being played around. We didn't do anything to him, so why is he like this? I don't know him and I haven't met him, but why is he like this?? He sounded like he hated us.
I invested everything in our thesis paper. I invested my time, money, and effort in it. It feels like our efforts were useless! Our sleepless nights and everything. We're being played here. It's not an accident or a misunderstanding that they reviewed the old one instead of the new one. Don't they know how to look at the date and time?? Are they blind??
Now, who's at fault here?
It's literally his fault because he didn't double check the paper first before commenting! He makes us looks so dumb and lazy asf! He literally had no idea how much effort we did to our thesis paper. And just like that?? Back from the start?? WTF???
If you're still here, thanks for reading my rant. I really appreciate your presence here.
Hello everyone!
Sorry if I wasn't able to interact yesterday and also I wasn't able to publish an articles in two consecutive days. But I promise I'll make "bawi" after I get everything done.
Today will be our last "Thesis Defense" I hope we can nail this off!
Wish me luck guys! 💪❣️
March towards success
***030102022***
February ended like a blink of an eye, a single snap of Thanos from the infinity gauntlet and then poof! We're now in the month of March. February is quite a bit traumatizing and an unproductive month for me but I still enjoy some days with that month and some days are truly memorable one and worth to keep in my precious memories.
I already picked myself up and come back to the productive me again. I miss that version of me. It's funny how I feel like I just wasted my two months for this year 2022 lol. Well, not anymore. That is why this new month of March, I really hope that I can be able to be the better version of the other me. I know I have told you guys before that I don't like taking down and listing goals and achievements in life or whatever it is, it's because I want to surprise myself about achieving things that I thought I couldn't achieve. I want to be like, "I didn't know I did it" and "Oh, I didn't know that I nailed it". I just want to let things flow smooth as the river flow.
But this month, because I was inactive last month, I want to challenge myself and surpass what I have achieved before. I want to be better than before.
This month of March, I'm looking forward marking these;
***Be more active in both noise.cash and read.cash platforms.***
Ever since after the typhoon Odette wrecked havoc in our place and cut off the mobile data and signals everywhere, I became inactive and that's also the start why I became inactive in noise even though the signals and internet connection is back. To my friends in noise, if you have notice that I only posted at least once or twice a day only but I do still visits from time to time and interact as well. Even though I am not that active in noise, I am still active in read.cash from time to time. Not until February lol. That is why I wanted to be more active again on both platforms as much as I can.
***Unlock 2 BCH***
I already unlocked my 1 BCH last January, I forgot I can't remember the exact time and date lol. But I was able to achieved it thanks to the red market at that time when the BCH value went down to $200 and I was able to accumulate more BCH. "The lower the price, the higher the BCH you'll get". I am now road to unlocking my 2nd BCH and I'm so excited to store and hodl it in my wallet for future purposes and also accumulate more. Storing BCH doesn't mean we'll have to keep and hodl it forever, we'll hodl it so that we can have something to get if we need for emergency. It also serve as our emergency fund. Because the crypto world won't work if you'll only storing everything in your wallet and not touching any of your holdings. BCH is meant to be spend. Accumulate, hodl, spend and replace.
***Interact and be active in Appics***
And yes, I finally able to create my appics account. Though I've planned it before that I'll join the platform but then I forgot, well thanks to florie's post in noise about her appics account. Because of her post I immediately installed the app and signed in. I really first know appics because of ate Bloghound's post in noise too. I'm so happy because my first follower was also ate Bloghound. I'm still a newbie so I'm still learning and exploring more about the platform. And if you're also an appics user, uhm hey, let's be mutual!
***Spreading positivity! Health first.***
This is the only goal that I'm so eager to achieve. I want my year 2022 be a year of positivity. I want to avoid toxic people and toxicity as much as I can, I will try to prioritize my physical health and mental health too! I've been sleeping late again and I can feel my body almost giving up.
***Be happy and enjoy the journey***
I want this new month of 2022 will only be full of fun and memorable one. I just want to be happy always without worrying too much problem. Just enjoying the ride towards the journey to success! The road may be a bit bumpy but we'll get through it.
***Hopeful for a fruitful and bountiful month of March.***

They're haunting me again
When was the last time I published an article here? It's been a week already, I guess. I haven't visited my own profile here recently, so I forgot my last published article here.
Hello there! How's it going, my lovely and gorgeous read cash buddies? I missed you all. No cap, lol. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I literally missed you all. I miss interacting and exchanging some "*chika*" here and participating in challenges. I really miss everything here on this platform. Even though I was only out for a few weeks, it feels like I was out for the whole month of February. I was only active in the first two weeks of February, but then I suddenly became inactive. I became so busy with my tons of schoolwork to the point that I became demotivated and I lost my inspiration to write.
But I do still visit here from time to time, but read only a few articles. I still tried my very best to interact even though I hadn't written an article. I feel so drained and unmotivated. I don't know why, but my body became so down all of a sudden that I lost the will to write and interact with everything. Not just on this platform, but on every social media site. I feel like I'm back to being the old me again, which I really hate. The alive but dead inside version of me
I thought I outsmarted my anxiety and depression, but dang, they're back again, haunting me every night. They're keeping me awake every night for no reason. I've been staying up late at night. I couldn't sleep even though I was already in bed at 8pm, trying to sleep as early as I could, but then I still ended up staring at the ceiling at 1 am. Depression and anxiety are the ones that keep me awake at night.
I hate it; my body is so tired and I'm so drained. But I couldn't rest even if I wanted to. I've started to lose weight again, and I'm getting skinnier again. I lost my appetite and I always eat late. I don't eat at the right time. I think I can only count those few moments when I laughed again and was truly happy.
This is what I really hate. This moment in my life where I'm back to the old lifeless me. I've been avoiding it for a long time, but I'm not sure why it came back to haunt me. I've been thinking only positive and happy thoughts lately. I've been giving out positive vibes just to make myself happy and feel the feeling of being alive again. But I guess it's still no use. These voices inside my head always win.
This day, I pushed myself to do things again and be back to the hyper and jolly me. I posted again on noise and interacted with some wholesome people on noise, and I truly felt happy again. But I can really tell that the energy was not the same as it was before. But I'm trying to pick myself up again. I won't let darkness devour the soul in me.
I just want to publish an article before the month of February ends. And I hope by tomorrow, in the month of March, I will be waking up with no more dramas in my mind. No more toxicity, only positivity.
***Manifesting a fruitful month of March! Let's march towards our goals and achievements in life.***
If you're still here reading this, thank you so much for always supporting me, from my ups and downs, to my highest and lowest. You guys are so precious to me. Thank you, guys, so much! Sending virtual hugs and kisses to everyone

I’m Not Helping You If You’re Not Gonna Help Your Self
Hey there, hello hello everyone! How’s it going? It’s been a while since my last published article in here. I've been inactive for a few days, but I still read some of the other users' articles in here because I come here when I have free time to read some articles and to keep up with what's going on here in read cash, even though I didn't publish anything. Because of my extremely hectic schedule and a mountain of duties, I couldn't just interact more. But, thankfully, I have some free time right now, and I was able to read a few articles and interact with other users earlier.
For today's article, I'll be sharing some common topics that I'm sure most students here can relate to. Because we have a lot of tasks to do and most of them need group work, it is expected that I have been dealing with my groupmates and other students for the past several days.
"I’m Not Helping You If You’re Not Gonna Help Your Self"
Are you the sort of student who just simply allows your classmates to copy your answers? Or are you the sort of student who, rather than allowing your classmates' to parrot all of your answers, teaches them how to solve the problem so that they may learn and come up with their own ideas and solutions?
If you are the first one, then you’re probably the "one call away" classmate that is willing to share all of the answers with his or her classmates as well. But, for how long are you willing to let your classmates have the same answers as you? The answers to the math problem that you’ve been solving for almost an hour and just giving it to your classmate, who didn’t do anything but just waited for you to finish answering. Isn't it also a little unfair considering you've put so much effort into it?
That is why every time I read or hear the phrase, ***"Let’s help each other so we can graduate together,"*** it just makes me wanna throw up. I may sound so mean, but I suppose I really am, because not everyone is deserving of assistance. How can we help you if you aren't helping yourself? How can we support you if all you do is sit around whining about everything? How can we help you if you are unwilling to develop new knowledge?
I have these groupmates who didn’t even bother to know what the group task was. And only a few of them messaged me asking what they could do to help with the tasks. Out of eight members, only two approached me asking about the group tasks, and the rest didn’t even bother reading the messages in our chat group. Every time a message is sent to our chat group to update everyone, the same people who approached me are the ones who reply to my messages, and the rest are all left on seen.
I ended up doing the group task all by myself because the deadline was already near, and when I messaged our chat group that it was already submitted, dang, the same people were only thanking me. Just so you know, I am not smart, I swear. I am not smart, but I only know a little. *"Marunong lang ako, pero hindi ako matalino."*
You know what irritated me the most as a student? Seeing other students, just rely on other students or classmates to get them through the school year. They practically passed due to the help of their peers. The terrible aspect is that the majority of individuals who don't bother completing significant stuff in class are fortunate, but those who aren't are eager to learn and committed to their class.
The irony is that those who have more privilege are the ones who whine the most about education, but others who have battled do not grumble at all.

Heeyyy Good Morning my lovely read cash buddies! I was out this past few days because I really need to prioritize my school work first before anything else. I need to finish more than a dozen of activities and projects before the deadline so that I can get back in here and interact with you more.
I promise I'll be back and hang out with you guys again.
Take care always and Have a great day ahead ✨
