A Whirlwind Valentine's Day
Good morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening to all of my fabulous and wholesome read cash buddies all around the globe. Happy Heart’s Day everyone. May your valentine’s day be full of fun and positivity, let’s all spread love and not toxicity. To all the couples out there, stay strong and stay in love, lovebirds.
Today is February 14. It’s Saint Valentine’s Day! I am pretty sure everyone is celebrating Valentine’s Day with their other half or their loved ones, like their family. How did you guys celebrate Valentine’s Day?
My Valentine’s Day is a busy day for me because there are lots of things that need to be finished because the due date is fast approaching. I woke up late this morning and as I checked my messages, I was surprised by the first message that popped up on my messenger. It was a friend of mine who wished me a happy Valentine’s Day. With that simple message that I received, my mood was brightened early in the morning. It is so nice that there is still someone who appreciates us and thinks of us.
You may have noticed that I wasn’t around again today. It is because I am so busy finishing my work. What I did today was edit two of our project videos and a presentation, and I was also taking an examination. And yes, the only thing that made my heart beat so fast this Valentine’s Day was the examination that we had this morning. Our teacher is so bitter because he still proceeds on giving exams on this day. I bet he doesn’t have a Valentina or maybe he was heartbroken and despises Valentine’s Day.
After I finished my exam, I took a break and watched some movies. I decided to re-watch a certain movie from Thailand. This was the first Thai movie that captured my heart and made me fall in love with them so much. I re-watched, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," a Thai movie played by Mario Maurer and Baifren. I bet this was also everyone’s first Thai love story that made them fall in love. Even though I have watched it many times, I can still feel the pain and the butterflies in my stomach whenever they interact. I can still feel their pain, especially in their confession scene.

That’s what we get for not confessing our feelings to someone and ending up heartbroken because we’re too late already.
Just this evening, my cousins went out to buy something in celebration of Valentine’s Day. They decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day with us since most of us are single and only three of my cousins are taken, leaving the rest of us single. So, we bought food and some drinks for the night. It’s so nice to celebrate Valentine’s Day along with these awesome cousins. The love birds were busy talking about their love lives, while us, singles were also busy eating in the corner, enjoying the pizza and other foods. LOL.
Who says singles can’t enjoy the valentine’s Day? As long as there’s food, then that would be fine. LOL.
Happy Heart’s Day everyone. Please take good care of your hearts and don’t let someone ruin and break your heart. It is a precious gem that needs to be taken care of. That precious heart of yours deserves someone that is willing to keep it and take good care of it. Sending virtual warm hugs and kisses! Lots of love! Stay safe always.

Anti-Bucket Lists: Things You Wouldn't Do Again
If there is a bucket list, a list of things and goals that we want to achieve, Then there will also be an opposite to it, which is an anti-bucket list, which is a list of things that you don’t want to do again or things that you avoid doing. Bucket lists are kind of overrated, right? Then why not let’s do the opposite? Let’s try listing down and crashing out things that we never want to do again. I bet it is way more satisfying if we get to finish marking those lists we have.
Here are my anti-bucket lists!
Sliding on a pool slide
I have shared with you this before, which is one of the most traumatizing things that happened to me when I was young. If you have read my articles before, then you guys probably know this already, and for those who haven't, I will share some with you. When I was young, it was my aunt’s wedding day, and after the wedding, we dove into the pool along with my cousins. Some boys in the pool said that the pool is not that deep and I had no idea that he was just floating. And me, being so curious and also wanting to experience sliding in the pool, climbed to the poolside where the slide was and, without hesitation, sat down and went for the slide. When I went to the water, I immediately panicked because my feet couldn’t feel the tiles below and it was so deep. I almost drowned that time. That is why I will never try doing slides again. NEVER, EVER.
Riding on a Ferris Wheel
I have acrophobia, and I can’t stand being in a high place for so long. I feel like I am about to throw up and feel dizzy. One time, when there was a fiesta in our town, all of us rode a Ferris wheel. At first it was fine, but not until we reached the top and it began to turn so fast. I felt like all of my internal organs were being crushed inside. I shouted and begged the guy who operated the Ferris wheel that I wanted to get off already. LOL.
Going into the deeper part of the ocean
Okay, I’m going to say it first: I am not a good swimmer. I know how to swim, but only in a shallow part where the water is at my neck level where I can still feel the ground below. When we go island hopping, I always get a goosebump every time we are in the deepest part of the ocean when the colour of the water looks like a dark blue or dark green. I always thought that there might be some creatures in there or some sharks that might grab us under it. That is why I won’t go along with my cousins because they always want to go into the deeper part.
Touching a snake
I have seen lots of different kinds and sizes of snakes. I have seen a humongous one and I have also encountered a baby snake. Aside from crocodiles, snakes are also one of my most hated animals. I don’t like them, and I hate seeing things that crawl on the ground. I have touched one and it was a phyton, and yes, it’s huge. I can’t explain the feeling when I touched it; it felt like it crawled right through me. And I don’t want to touch snakes again. It grossed me out, and I find them scary.
Feel free to share your anti-bucket list ideas in the comments section now that I've prompted you to think about your deepest, scariest fears. Have fun with your Anti-Bucket list!

What Do You Do for A Living?
Hello there. How are you, my lovely and gorgeous read cash buddies? I hope you guys are all having fun and spending your whole weekend with your family. But if you want to ask me how my day was going, I’ll be honest, it’s exhausting and I am physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. Even though it's the weekend, I woke up early to finish the work that I needed to finish and some stuff that needed to be submitted on Sunday. I’ve been in my room, sitting in front of my computer. I only get up when I need to eat and, after that, I need to get back again and continue what I was doing.
I know that you have also noticed that I am not around on both read and noise platforms. I haven’t read any articles since this morning and I haven’t posted anything on noise. I am so busy that I haven’t even visited any social media aside from my messenger.
This time, I took a break and decided to continue what I wrote last night. I was tagged by @Usagi for this challenge. I can’t remember when she started this challenge. Hehe, sorry I can’t remember. I am so busy. But I just kept it in my saved drafts because I really planned on participating in this. https://read.cash/@Usagi/chitchats-94d1c2f4
So, here is my entry. I hope you’ll like it!
What hobby do you wish you had more time for?
How I wish I could have spent more time reading books. Reading books keeps me relaxed all the time, not minding other people, not minding what is happening in the real world, because all I can think of is what the story is all about and how far my imagination can take me. I think I am so obsessed with collecting books and keeping them. And yes, I am a bibliophile. Well, you can already figure that out just by reading the first sentence of this paragraph. How I wish Shopee would now allow us to place an order so that I could check out those things in my cart. LOL. Most of those are books.
If you could travel back in time, which decade would you choose to live in?
https://mapio.net/images-p/5613621.jpg
If I could go back in time, I would want to go back to the 18th century. The Spanish colonial period. I am obsessed with history, and if there was a time machine, the 18th and 19th centuries would be the years that I wanted to visit. I want to know more about the people’s lives during that day, and I also want to experience their way of living. I am not satisfied with what I have learned from reading history books and what my previous teachers taught me in school. If only a real time machine existed.
If you could invite one famous person to dinner, who would it be?
https://www.kapwing.com/explore/ryan-reynolds-in-front-of-an-overturned-car-meme-template
Ryan Reynolds! I think he’s the perfect person to have dinner with. And I want him to wear his dead pool costume; it would totally be hilarious! I can’t imagine what it would look like to have dinner with Ryan Reynolds. It would be total chaos and so much fun. I also want to spend time with the best duo, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart. I guess my jaw would literally break from too much laughter if I was with them. LMAO
What do you do for a living?
Blogging, trading. That’s what I do for a living. And I am so proud to be part of this platform, and I also consider blogging on a daily basis as my job since this has been a huge help not just for me but for my family as well. This really changes my life especially when it comes to financial needs where I can just get the money I need wherever and whenever I want. Forever thankful for this site!
Would you rather travel via plane or boat?
I’d rather travel on land. Teehee.
**How** did you spend your last birthday?
Sleeping, literally. I have acceptable reasons, I know what you're thinking LOL. The reason why I just spent my birthday sleeping the whole day it's because I had a fever at that time. It's not covid FYI. LOL.
If you'd like to join in on the fun, you can do so at any moment by clicking this **link**. I'm excited to read your article as well. Enjoy! https://parade.com/969981/parade/conversation-starters/

"Mankind at its darkest and hungriest"
The world, like individuals, evolves with each passing day. From the advancement of technology and our way of life. The number of people living in poverty has risen in line with the growth of the world's population. I will just put the Philippines as an example. We Filipinos are fully aware that the number of people living in poverty in our country is growing day by day. When the pandemic happened, the number of teenage pregnancies increased, as well as the number of babies being born every day. It is so sad to think that most families who gave birth to a lot of kids are in line with poverty and worst, "*Isang Kahig, Isang Tuka*" that could only eat at least once a day and living in slums and squatter areas.
This day, I watched a movie that reflected what was happening in our world today, especially to the people. As I was watching, I couldn’t help but imagine the reality that’s been happening in our world. The representation of the movie speaks so much about society.
I bet that some of you here have already watched this movie, as it became popular last year in 2021. The movie was titled "The Platform" and it is a Spanish movie that aired on Netflix last 2019.
https://kulturflix.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/72135-750x375.jpg
There are three kinds of people: those at the top, those at the bottom, and those who have fallen. The tall platform is a 333-floored cell with two people on each storey. The first floor, which is the highest part of the building, was the first to receive the foods given by the organization that established the platform. After a minute, the food will continue to descend until it reaches the platform's bottom.
The people who were on the very low floor would only get the scraps and leftovers from the top floors, and the worst part is that the food could no longer reach the 100th floor. If only all of the people from the top floors could eat the amount of food that they needed for a day, then the people from the bottom floors could still have their ration. But, no matter how much food is given to them, there will always be greedy and selfish people.
https://media.thetab.com/blogs.dir/90/files/2020/03/screen-shot-2020-03-30-at-150029-1024x463.png
Because of receiving no food every day, the people from the lowest floors end up doing anything in order to survive, even if it’s against their will. They ended up killing each other, and what’s worst is that they turned into cannibals, and they ate each other's cellmates just to survive. Every month, they will be transferred to other floors. Some will get lucky and be on the top floors, while some will end up on the lowest floors.
In fact, there was enough food for everyone on the platforms, and the majority of the foods served were favourites of the prisoners, so everyone was satisfied. But they still choose to be greedy.
The upper floors reflect our society's wealthy people, while the lower floors represent the underprivileged who can all benefit from the wealthy's leftovers. Those on the upper levels, on the other hand, overconsume and are given no reason or motivation to share, resulting in inequality, misery, and suffering.
No matter what the administration above decided, if the prisoners communicated and cooperated with one another, they would be able to better survive their prison sentences. They could have survived on the platforms and many people below could have received their rations if they had only cooperated and acknowledged solidarity.
No matter what the administration above decided, if the prisoners communicated and cooperated with one another, they would be able to better survive their prison sentences. They could have survived on the platforms and many people below could have received their rations if they had only cooperated and acknowledged solidarity.
Remember when the pandemic hit? many individuals began stockpiling supplies to the point when store lanes and shelves were completely depleted, leaving only a few for those who could afford only a few.

Caris’ 21st Virtual Birthday Celebration
Hello there, my lovely read cash buddies! How’s it going?
I’m so dumb early in the morning, I don’t know what got into me. I literally had a mini panic attack right when I woke up. I knew when it was already 8 a.m. when my older siblings and my mother are no longer around the house because, before 8 a.m., all of them have already gone to their workplace. When I woke up, I noticed that it was so silent in the house and that the sun’s rays were reflected inside the house. I began to panic and started looking where my phone was. I am totally worried that I can’t attend the virtual meet because every hour of attendance is equivalent to a hundred percent in performance. When I check my phone’s messenger, I wonder why it seems to be so quiet and not a single message has appeared. Then I decided to message my friend, asking her what our schedule was, and she said that we don’t have class today because it’s our vacant day. WTH? I literally let out a huge sigh. LOL.
Lesson learned, always keep a copy of your schedule on hand!LMAO
Our lovely cutie Caris @carisdaneym2 just celebrated her 21st birthday a few days ago. And this generous cutie potato here wanted to share some of her NFT’s and Bitcoin cash with us in celebration of her birthday. I really thought that I wouldn’t be able to make my entry because of my busy schedule. Thanks to kuys @meitanteikudo for tagging me, which was great timing because today was our vacant day and I was able to rest from a hellish week and I still have time to write this one.
So, without further ado, here’s my entry for Caris’s 21st birthday giveaway!
What do you see as your best character trait?
I can’t really tell if I have the best character trait or not, lol, but I will just be basing it on what other people would usually say to me. But if it’s physical, well, I guess it’s my height because they usually compliment my height and my face. They used to tease me because of my height, but right now they’re complimenting me, but I don’t know if it’s a compliment or not. I totally hated my height before, because my height didn’t even match my age. I am so smol, like a smol potato. But I’m loving it already because having a cute height makes me look even cuter. LOL.
Aside from physical traits, I would say that I am the type of person who would always say "***thank you***" to someone, whoever that person is. Even if they just did a simple thing for me, I would always appreciate it and would always say thank you to them. I guess it’s my habit also. And yes, I always express my gratitude to someone, no matter how small or simple the things that they did. I am appreciative of everyone and whatever that is. Because I strongly believe that a simple ‘Thank you" means a lot to someone, it can even brighten their day. It makes them feel appreciated.
What mistake did you learn the most from?
I made a lot of mistakes, especially during my teenage years. But the mistake that I really learned from the most is that time when I declined to be what our professor wanted me to be. It was our culminating day and she wanted me to be one of the masters of ceremony along with my male classmate. But because of my shyness, I declined. She even kept on telling me to be the emcee that night, but I just really can’t because of the fact that the university’s dean and admins will be around. I’m not confident enough to be in front of a lot of people. When I told her 'No,' I could tell by her eyes and the way she looked at me that she was disappointed in me. I was replaced by my other female classmate. When the program started, they were complemented by the university’s dean and also by the other administrators and staff. The dean even gave something to both of them. And not just that, after that, both of them received good grades and a certificate from the dean. And me? I’m just in the corner, telling myself, "*If only I was courageous enough*"
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
A relationship is not just about two people who are in love and being together as one. It could be a relationship with our family and friends, or with our classmates and professors. But, in a relationship, what is the most significant factor? ***Mutual trust*** and ***understanding*** are essential. This isn't just for a couple; it's for everyone. ***Every connection is built on the foundation of trust.***
I'm looking forward to reading @WanderingMedStudent 's entry!

Oldies Supremacy: Papa’s Favourite Songs
*Oldies’ songs never get old, and they will always be the best among the best!*
Aloha! Konichiwassap, my lovely and gorgeous read cash buddies! I'm hoping you guys have a wonderful day. How was your day? Are you guys having a tough week or a tough day today? We all get through it. You’re not alone.
Who among you here loves to listen to some old songs? I guess we all are. In this generation, old songs have a different impact than new songs. The songs that are sung from the heart and its beat that you can feel the emotion of.
I was doing my school work while listening to some music on YouTube when a song from one of my papa’s favourites came on and made me stop what I was doing. I stopped and listened while singing to it. I felt like I was singing the song along with my papa. I close my eyes and feel every rhythm of the songs. I feel my papa’s presence just by listening to it.
So, for today’s article, I will be sharing with you guys my papa’s favourite songs that he loves to listen to every day, every morning, and every weekend. I still remember when I was young. I always got to wake up early in the morning because of the loud music that my father played early in the morning before he went to his job. And it serves as my alarm clock at that time. I am currently listening to my papa's playlist while writing this one.
Leader of the Band (Dan Fogelberg cover) - Mike Masse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzspXW2LNgw&list=RDMGKMUNar9Sg&index=10
*" I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough*
*And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough "*
I remember my father used to sing this one early in the morning when he was about to take a bath. This was one of the songs that he always played early in the morning. There will be no days that I won’t be able to hear this song. And here I am right now, playing this song every day like it has been my everyday routine, and it has been my first ever song played right when I open my YouTube account.
Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpqqjU7u5Yc
Do you want to know who's an avid fan of bee gees? Then my father would definitely be a number one fan of this band. He also keeps on singing with their songs for like every day and even my mom is a super fan of bee gees when they were younger. They used to sing this song before and even did a duet sometimes. My mom still listens to this song every time she opens her YouTube account.
Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPj3GAYYZ0
My father was a band member during his 20's and he was a guitarist and also a bassist. Even though half of his body was paralyzed, he was still able to play the guitar clearly and even sing a song. I remember him singing this one while playing the guitar. My older brother even filmed him at that time, and when he saw the video, he even said to himself, "Nothing's changed, I'm still good at this." LOL. (Partida paralyzed half katawan niya)
I wonder why I easily fall in love with people who are good at playing guitar. I'm not gonna lie, I easily fall in love with someone who is so good at playing guitar, especially a band member. LOL. Like mother, like daughter. Falling in love with a band member. HAHA
Shania Twain - You’re Still The One
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZH-emehxA
I'll include Shania Twain's "You’re Still The One" because this was my parents' favourite song. I remember hearing them singing this one. And the funny thing is, this has become one of my favourite songs too!
While I was writing this one, my eyes began to blur and, all of a sudden, water fell on my keyboard. From a single droplet that slowly became a stream. I just found myself in tears while writing this one. I didn’t even notice that I was already crying as I just let my hands on my keyboard type whatever words came from my mind while remembering every happy memory I had with my father. This May will be his 5th death anniversary, and it’s been so long since I last visited him. That was four years ago.
It's just so nice reminiscing some wonderful moments with someone who's no longer around. It feels like they are still around with you.

A Single Swipe That Could Change Your Life
Hello, hello my super fabulous and gorgeous read cash buddies! How’s it going? Are you having a good day? As for me, I wasn’t really having a good day, but it wasn’t a bad day. I am so tired these past few days, especially this week, and it will even be worse next week because our finals for this semester are fast approaching and we are all too busy dealing with tasks and final exams. And that explains why I am not that active here and why I was not able to visit and leave a comment on your articles. But I know you guys understand my situation. But you know that I always make ‘*bawi*’ if I already have spare time and I am no longer busy. Teehee.
Does my article title sound familiar to you? Or have you read this phrase before, or has someone said these words to you before? Yesterday, I have read ate @CoquiCoin 's article about ‘***The Tinder Swindler***’ which is the new Netflix documentary movie. I already saw this a few days ago, but I haven’t watched the movie yet because of my busy schedule, but I already planned on watching the documentary. Thankfully, this day we didn’t have a virtual meet and I could spend an hour watching this documentary, which I just did. But I did finish my one task first before continuing to watch it.
When I read Ate Cocola’s article, I only read the introduction part because I didn’t want to get spoiled on what the documentary was really all about.
Swipe right, swipe left, and swipe here, swipe there.
These are the most common things that some people would usually do when they’re on a dating site. Have you tried using a dating app before? There are various types of dating apps. Right? The most common app was called ‘***Tinder***". I knew about this app a long time ago, but I haven’t tried nor installed this app, not even once.
People do use dating apps to ease their boredom. Some just want to have friends, and some even use the app in the hope of finding their other half. But we can tell that 90% of dating app users installed the app hoping to find the love of their lives. According to the "Dating App," if you sign up for one, you will be able to meet people from all over the world. You get to choose whom you like, depending on the type of person you want to interact with. But how sure are we that it's safe? Are the people we meet online true to themselves? Could you trust someone you've just met on the internet?
"The Tinder Swindler" is a new documentary movie that is now streaming on Netflix. It is now the talk of other social media platforms. It is a documentary about three girls who were victims of one person. The documentary gives a lesson to other users out there who love to engage in other dating apps and sites and love to interact with strangers. What happened to the victims should serve as a lesson to not trust someone you've just met on the internet. If not, then you may at least don't give your full trust to that someone.
The other part of me gets sad about what happened to the victim, but the other side of me is just neutral about what happened to them. At first, I was kind of mad at them for trusting someone they'd just met online, especially the first girl who agreed to meet the person on the first day they matched on Tinder. I mean, who would allow themselves to meet someone who has literally no idea who that person is? It could be a kidnapper or what? But the man's profile was quite convincing about his identity. The billionaire's son and the attached photos look so expensive, and they have been to many places all over the world. He even attached his Instagram account, which has a lot of followers, which made you believe that everything on his profile was true.
But little did they know that everything was just a lie. The luxurious life and everything, including his name.
I apologize if I won't talk more about the details, as I don't want you guys to get spoiled if you ever plan to watch this documentary. It is a good one, but not totally great. I would have given it a higher rating if I hadn't been dissatisfied with how it ended. I am a little mad about how it ends because it looks like all their efforts were wasted and it looks like the police didn't even care much about the case. The only people who cared were the journalists. So, I rated this ***7/10.*** LOL.

You See, but You Don't Observe
***You See, but You Don't Observe***
***- Sherlock Holmes***
Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening to my lovely read cash buddies all across the world. The weekend's over, and now we're starting over. I failed to publish an article yesterday because I decided to rest myself from writing articles and spent the rest of my Sunday as a rest day for me. I only read a few articles yesterday and visited both platforms but didn’t stay long. Well, now it’s Monday, and Monday’s the most hated day for some, and it's the most favourite day of the week for others too. Now get your arse up and let's start hustling.
What type of learner are you? Are you a visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learner? We have different skills when it comes to learning, we use different strategies depending on what makes us comfortable. Some may not be good at listening but are very good at visual learning, where they can easily get what it means just by looking at it. But can we apply that in our every day lives? Some may, and some may not.
***You see, but you don't observe.***
We see things in our everyday lives, but sometimes we forget to observe and know what they are. Just like when we see an opportunity knocking on our door. We are sometimes blinded by the thought of an opportunity and decide to seize it right away. We then took the chance without even knowing what it was. Not all opportunities bring good to you, some may lead to the opposite side of it. We are so eager to achieve what we dreamt of to the point that we’ll dig into whatever food serves in a platter without even knowing what that food is, whether it’s edible or not.
There are lots of people who ended in the opposite of what they dreamt of. It’s because they failed to observe everything around them. What I mean is that they only saw a certain thing as an opportunity without even observing what it was and didn’t even bother to find out what that opportunity was. For instance, an opportunity to work abroad might seem like a good idea, but little did we know that you might end up working in an illegal job abroad that might ruin your life.
Some of us only see what's on the outside and won’t even bother to know what's on the inside. Just like when we get hit by cupid's arrow and fall in love with a person. But cupid’s arrow isn’t always right. Sometimes we call it destiny, but it isn’t. Some people fall in love easily just by looking at them. Some may call it "love at first sight." Well, maybe it’s true and it works for others, but it doesn’t work all the time for someone. People may see someone attractive and beautiful and say that they’re in love.
I overheard this conversation between my sister and mom (Yeah, marites din ako). My sister’s friend was being abused by her husband. Physical, mental, and emotional abuse. Her friend’s husband was really an attractive guy, and I'm not gonna lie, he’s truly handsome. He was once a good loving boyfriend, but when they finally got married, everything about his husband had changed and he started hitting her physically, getting worse when he had the intent to kill her.
When it comes to love, there are people who are easily blinded by their looks and won’t bother to know who the person really is. They only gave more focus on the physical appearance and did not observe the other person’s true color. That is why most people end up in toxic and cruel relationships. Because they only see, but they do not observe the real intention of the person that they think they’re in love with.
We all see what's going on around us, but do we pay attention to it?

Fame is All About Appearances
Happy Weekend, my dear read cash buddies! What is up everyone? I hope you are all doing fine. It’s Saturday and one more day until we face Monday again. Time’s running so fast, isn’t it? LOL.
Let me ask you something. What does "*fame*" mean to you?
Are you one of those famous social media users who gain thousands of likes on every photo you post on any social media platform? Or you may not be famous on social media, but you’re known in your school or community that every single person in your school or community knows you. How does it feel to be known by everyone? What are you known for?
Haven’t you noticed, or I guess we all noticed it even a long time ago, that only good-looking ones are more appreciated compared to an average-looking one? The good-looking ones are mostly the ones being prioritized. In fact, even the most talented ones were sometimes ignored because they were not that good-looking and were not fit for their standards.
Most things that set standards so high are in the showbiz industry. The more talented ones are ignored, or maybe they’re not, but their screen time wouldn’t last long. They may be well known for a few days, but then their popularity will suddenly puff up like a bubble.
I’m not discriminating against other artists or people in the showbiz industry, but we can definitely tell that most good-looking ones aren’t really talented. Some even released an album, but all the songs are not even that bop and the voice is in auto-tune. But still, there were people who would listen to it and support their favourite artist because it was popular. Even if they can tell that it really isn't that good, they would still be willing to listen to it and buy the album.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQvG8zu-VLdhUUnskrY_3Yivmctb9uYiLmpdQ&usqp=CAU
Isn’t it unfair for those talented people who didn’t get the chance to show off their true talent because they couldn’t reach the beauty standards set by society? It is sad to think that real talents remain hidden because of insecurities.
And because of the beauty standards set by society, there are more people who feel insecure and conscious about themselves, especially their physical appearance.
I have seen lots of candid photos of good-looking strangers that went viral. Most of them were being captured doing their job, such as selling, etc. They became popular because of their looks. That means there were lots of people who loved and admired their beauty. A lot of agencies would hire them to promote and become a model for their brand.
There's nothing wrong with being born naturally attractive; in fact, it's an asset that can help you achieve your goals. By being beautiful, there were lots of opportunities that awaited you.
But why is it that it’s always the good-looking people that are being praised and appreciated? Why does it always have to be like that? Why are societies like that? Why can’t everything be equal? Why do we have to set boundaries regarding how we look? Honestly, we are all beautiful in our own ways. We are not ugly. We just have to embrace and accept who we are because that’s what determines us on being who we truly are.
***You’re beautiful, it’s true.***

Villa Adela
Ohio! Konichiwasap everyone! How are you? It’s Friday and the weekends are coming again. It feels like the world rotates faster and faster as time’s getting faster as well. What’s your weekend getaway? Have you already booked a room reservation for your weekend getaway? Or maybe you don’t have any plans yet and prefer spending the weekend at home with the whole family.
This day, we visited a villa. We used the villa as a place to shoot our video presentation. The place is not that elegant, but there’s something about the place that makes it different from other villas. The villa is just so simple; it’s only a two-storey building, and it really looks like just a house, inside and out. When we arrived, we were greeted and welcomed by the owner with a warm smile, even though we hadn’t entered the villa yet. She opened the entrance door and welcomed us. There were only a few guests, but she was still allowed to shoot inside and outside the villa. The owner was so very kind and humble as she allowed us to use the front desk and even use some of the equipment in there for our video.
When we entered the villa, we were stunned by how beautiful the chandelier was. It looks simple, but it’s catchy to everyone’s eye. All of us looked up right as we entered the villa. That is really the first thing that we noticed when we came in. The ambiance inside the villa is so calming, and it really feels like you’re just at your own home because of its design and how it looks inside. The second thing that we also notice is that most of the walls inside the villa have paintings on them, which make them look more attractive and beautiful.
This is the view from the second-floor downstairs. It really looks just like a house. When you walk up the stairs, you will be greeted by a mirror, a Mama Mary statue, and some fictitious luggage. What makes you even more impressed is its walls. On every wall, you will see different wallpapers and paintings.
The right wall is a wallpaper of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, while the left wall was a wallpaper of a café. The second photo that I attached was of the hallway’s wallpaper, which gives off a beach vibe. There were also paintings everywhere that made you think that you were in a museum.
I've already said it before, and I’ll say it again. The owner was so kind that she even handed us a key to a room. She allowed us to use a room for our video. The room was simple, but the ambiance was peaceful. Just like the walls outside, the room also has paintings inside. I also noticed that the villa has so many mirrors. In the lobby, the stairs, and I guess every corner of the room has mirrors, which gives you more time to fix yourself and do some retouching whenever you want.
It was a great experience for us, and we didn't regret choosing Villa Adela as the place we promoted, because the place deserves way more than that. You know what's best? It's that we didn't pay a single penny for everything. That's how kind ma'am is. May the Villa prosper and receive many guests.

There are no evil dogs; rather, there are bad owners
Greetings, my lovely read cash buddies! How's it going?
If you have a pet, especially if it's a dog, then you know how heartbreaking it is to lose the love of your life. They aren't just a pet, but a part of the family. If you wish to adopt or buy a dog (it's better to adopt honestly) from a pet shop, make sure you know your responsibilities as an owner. And know what type of dog breed is best for your family. It's not being picky about what type of dog breed you choose; it's about how you, as an owner, and your family can handle the dog well. Not all dogs are aggressive, and I strongly believe that there are no evil dogs. It all depends on how an owner treats and trains their dogs.
Dogs can be aggressive sometimes. It is because of their instinct where they see a certain thing as a threat or an intruder trespassing on their property. It's natural for a dog to growl and bark because that's what they are. And they're born to be like that. If you wish to own a big dog such as a German Shepherd or Doberman, make sure you expose them to people at a young age to know that people are not a threat to them.
https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/ar_4:3%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:eco%2Cw_1200/MTc2NDUyNzUzNTY3MDAwNTM4/the-10-most-popular-poodle-mixed-breed-dogs.jpg
We were having a chit-chat with my cousins in our group message when one of our cousins attached a video, and the video was about a dog. We were horrified and saddened by what we saw in the video. In the video, there were two girls walking with their cute pet, as what I have read, it was a poodle dog. As they were walking normally, all of a sudden, a dog from a neighbouring house ran towards the poor little one and attacked it. The dog that attacked was a German shepherd. There were two of them who got out, but only one attacked the poodle. The poor little one looks like a stuffed toy because of how the big dog bit it. Actually, the house has a gate, but as soon as the owner opened the gate as he was about to enter, their dog suddenly ran out as if it was so eager to attack the little dog that they saw.
The owner went towards his dog to make it stop, but the dog wouldn't even listen to him. It still keeps on attacking the poor little poodle. As the owner finally gets to take off the poodle from his dog's mouth, it's already too late as the little dog no longer moves. The German shepherd has a strong jaw, and its bite is strong enough to break a bone.
With shocked and saddened faces, we see what the owner did to their dog right after the sudden attack. We saw how he punched his dog, not just once. Just by seeing the video, we can easily conclude that the dog has a lack of training from its owner. That type of dog is smart enough to follow the owner's orders and very athletic. That is why they are mostly used as police dogs, or what we call K9s. But dogs wouldn't turn out like that if they were trained properly or, at their young age, they were already exposed to different breeds of dogs and socialized with people, because in that way, they would get comfortable with the people they often see and not see other dogs and people as a threat to them.
Disciplining dogs by doing physical harm is not how you discipline dogs; it just makes them worse. It's just like how you discipline a person; the more pain you cause them, the more rebellious they become.
Treat your dog with love and care. They aren't just pets or guard dogs; they're family.

Hello there! Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening my read cash buddies! I just wanna say thank you to ate @CoquiCoin for renewing hehe. Love lots :>
Let's Get Ready For Rambles
Oh, hello there. What is up, my lovely and fabulous read cash buddies? How was the start of your month of love? Time flies so fast indeed, that now we're already on the second day of the second month of the year. January feels like yesterday, and in a few more periods of sleep, we'll be singing Christmas carols once more. LOL. As we grow older, time begins to turn so fast that sometimes we don't even notice.
My day wasn't that productive, but not totally a lazy day. I guess it's just a neutral day for me. This morning, we had a virtual meeting with two of our professors. One was our major, while the other was our foreign language, which was Korean, which I hate LOL. I remember Florie, who self-studied Hangul by herself, which is quite impressive, but as for me, I really am not interested in it. I get bored easily. I'm not even kidding. You know what, I'd rather study Spanish and French than Korean, because Korean is too complicated for me. I'm just not interested. Teehee. If it's Japanese, then I might be the first one who will participate in every discussion. Too bad it's not. I was even expecting that our foreign language would be Japanese because other sections are having it and I'm kind of jealous of them because their teacher is so jolly and cool. What's even cooler is that their teacher was an otaku, which makes her discuss Japanese easily, and probably most of the students will pay attention to her.
After our virtual meeting with the two teachers, I visited Noise and read for a moment, reading some articles and making some noise. My apologies if I only read a few articles today. I was just not in the mood to read more articles today because I guess my eyes get tired of reading thousands of words every single day, so I decided to rest myself from reading too many articles. I think I only read not more than ten articles today. After surfing both platforms for a little while, I then accidentally read the word 'hunger' which all of a sudden reminded me of the movie "The Hunger Games", and because of that, I ended up re-watching that movie from the very beginning to the end. That's also why I'm publishing this article very late again. The movie has four parts, and yes, I finished all of them just this day.
I was planning on going to bed before ten o'clock because I remembered that tomorrow is our second dose of Pfizer vaccination, which I completely forgot about. And thanks to my brother, who reminded me about it, tomorrow will be our second dose. But honestly, I am not in the mood to get my second dose done tomorrow. I feel like my body is kind of too tired for it. I am not in the mood to go out and walk around, I just want to stay in the house and move my second dose schedule to the other day. I mean, it's okay if I get my second dose the next day, right? right?
I haven't done anything today but my body feels so tired as if I did a lot of heavy work in the house, when in fact all I did was just sit or lay around and watch some movies on my laptop. I know it's not just me who also feels like this, where all of a sudden you get unmotivated and unproductive, like your body decided not to do any movement and just chill in the corner. LMAO.
I humbly apologize if you were able to read this nonsense post at this hour. Sorry for ruining your day and making it worse haha. My mind is just floating in a total void of darkness. Literal na ***"Lumilipad na naman ang isip ko"*** Sorry if my post is out of this world. I can't even understand myself sometimes. LMAO.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
***Nǐ hǎo, Kung Hei Fat Choi!*** Hello there, my fabulous and gorgeous read cash buddies! How was your day? Was your January a memorable one and full of fun? The month of January has finally ended, and now we’re in the second month of the year and it’s a month of love. A month when we feel the butterflies in our stomach when our crushes hand us a handwritten letter or a flower. (*sanaol*)
So, I was reading a book this morning titled ***"Whose Deduction Show"*** by a Filipino author, ***Akosiibarra***, and it’s all about deductions, battle of wits, and mysteries, as the title suggests. I will be sharing with you guys what the story was all about, but not literally the whole story, only this part. The book's story consists of different cases that they need to solve, and what I will be sharing with you is this first case about abduction.
****Desperate times call for desperate measures.****
People will do anything in their desperate times, even if it's against their will or even if they know that it's illegal, they will still go for it just to escape the situation that they’re in.
A student was desperately in need of the detectives' help to find his nephew, who has been missing since yesterday. They’ve been trying to find him, but up until now, there was still no lead on the boy. The detective went to the family’s house, and to their surprise, it was an enormous mansion, and it looked like an old mansion. They’ve been checking everywhere trying to find clues about the missing child. They searched every corner of the house. When they looked at the CCTV, they noticed that the kid wasn’t seen on the CCTV going out of the mansion on the day he was gone. None of the people in the house were seen going in and out of the mansion’s premises.
They have checked every corner of the house, but the only room that they haven’t checked was the office of the owner of the house. The office was filled with books everywhere that hadn’t been touched because of the dust that had been so visible. The detective then called out everyone in the room and said that the kid wasn’t abducted anywhere because he wasn’t seen on CCTV, and he also concluded that the person who abducted the child was one of the people in the room. In fact, he already knew where the child was kept. The man behind the kid’s disappearance may be smart, but he wasn’t clever enough.
When the detective said those words, the father of the missing child now started to wonder who would have thought of doing such a thing to his son. The only person who owned the office was the father’s sibling, who is also the uncle of the missing child. The detective asked why the maid didn’t clean the books since they were full of dust. The maid then said that their "sir" wouldn’t allow them to touch any of the books. The uncle explained the reason why he won’t allow anyone to touch the books; it’s because the books have sentimental value and he doesn’t want to ruin any of the books or even get scratched.
All of a sudden, the detective touched one book and pushed it over, then the secret room suddenly opened and there they saw the child lying unconscious with a tape on his mouth and both his hands and feet were tied. The father rushed towards his unconscious son and carried him out of the room.
The detective looked straight into the uncle’s eyes and then said that he was the only person who had access to the room except for the maids. As he stated, he does not allow anyone to touch the books, so the visible fingerprint in the book belonged to the uncle. His mouth was trembling, and his hands were shaking. He kept denying that he hadn’t done anything to his nephew. But then, later on, he admitted that he was the one who hid the child in the secret room. The reason for it is that he was loaded with a huge debt and had already sold the mansion. He didn’t have any other choice of where to find the money, so he did the unthinkable way.
It is sad to think that there are still people out there who are willing to cross the line. The most common reason would be debt, to the point that they are willing to do everything even if they know that it could cause them trouble.

Another Version of You
My husband and I were on our way home after doing grocery shopping. It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and I still have to make our dinner. When we got home, I was surprised that my kid hadn't arrived yet, because the school bus typically arrived just on time every afternoon. While I was making our dinner, the door opened and a cute little boy ran towards his father, calling his name. He kissed his father's cheeks and held him. He then approached me and gave me hugs and kisses. He took a breath, then abruptly opened his bag and pulled something from it. He smiled first before handing me the paper, and then went straight to his room.
I wonder what the piece of paper is, and at first, I thought that it was a letter he made for me. As I opened it, the first two words that caught my eye were the words ***"Detention Slip"***. I called my husband and sat right next to him. I then handed him the detention slip that our son had just given me. We both read what was written on the slip, and both of us were shocked and laughed at what we had read. The reason for his detention was that he told his teacher ***"You’re a Karen."*** My husband and I both stared for a second, and then I asked him who taught our son that word "Karen", but then my husband just shrugged.
As I was serving our dinner, I saw my husband and my son doing a hive five. And then when I sat down in my chair, my husband winked at my son, and so did my son, and then they both just giggled. I got curious about what they were talking about just earlier, so I decided to join in and start the conversation. I will bring up the topic of our son’s detention slip. *"Young man, why did you call your teacher like that?"* and then he looked at me and said, *"About what mom? She is, after all, a Karen." "Sweetie, you can't call someone like that, especially if it’s not their real name,"* I explained to my son in a calm voice.
Then I asked him where he had heard about the Karen thingy. I wasn’t surprised when he said, "***Daddy***." I stared at my husband with a sharp look in my eyes. His expression suggests that he did nothing. *"When we were at the supermarket, I heard Dad calling Mrs. Diana "Karen" when we saw her arguing with the manager. And he said people who argue with crews and start calling out for the manager’s attention are called Karen. That’s what dad said. "* I facepalmed after what my son just said. I stared at my husband and gave him that "explain this" look, and he also gave me that "I didn’t do anything" look.
I turned around and took something to the refrigerator. But as I turned around, I overheard my husband telling something to our son. *"Your mom did worse than that when she was your age. He called their principal "****Baldy****" because their principal was bald."* And then they both giggle and give each other a high five.
***OMG, I can’t with these two***
https://i.redd.it/ma97e26v9ei51.jpg
*Oi, hello hello. How’s it going, mate? This was actually one of Kuys Kudo’s prompts about receiving a detention slip from your kid and what would be your reaction to it. This is an old prompt from him, and I decided to write something about it because, as I was checking my saved articles, I saw his article. And I also find it fun and entertaining to write.*
*You can also write yours if you want to. It would be nice to read your article about this one.*

1 BCH In Just 30 Days!
Oh, hello there, super gorgeous and fabulous read cash buddies. I hope you are all doing fine. How are you? I became inactive yesterday and the other day because I was eager to finish the movie that I was watching, and I didn’t want to skip it. And it is also the reason why I was not able to publish an article yesterday. And yeah, I sacrificed my one article just for this. What I watched was the new Korean zombie series *"All Of Us Are Dead"*, and I guess most of you guys here have watched it already. If you haven’t watched it, try watching it. It’s a good movie, honestly.
You have already read what the title is, right? And yes, you read it right. 1 BCH in just 30 days, or a month of hustling.
You know, the last few days of our year 2021 were not ideal for us, particularly those of us who live in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. You already know that we got hit by Odette’s havoc on December 16, 2021. That day was a memorable day for all of us because it brought trauma to everyone. A lot of houses and properties were ruined, and trees were all knocked down because of how strong the wind was at that time. It was traumatic for us because it was the first time we'd experienced such a storm, and it was worse than typhoon Yolanda, which, while also powerful, did not cause as much damage in our area as Odette did.
After the storm, our house got damaged and it really needs to be repaired, especially the part of our room where the roof got widely open. My siblings don’t have their money yet, and neither does my mother. I decided to withdraw all my holdings because we don’t have any other choice. I withdrew my holdings and left only a hundred dollars $100 in my bitcoin wallet. And yes, it hurts, looking at your wallet and the holdings that you’ve been saving for how many months will be gone from your wallet. And it’s true, it really hurts. But the only thing that I keep in mind is that I did it for my family and for our house because it’s more important than anything else. I still get to use my money for my family, and that's what matters.
Even though I became inactive for two weeks during that time, Rusty still blessed me with his upvotes, and I’m so thankful for that. Because of the bloody market, I was able to accumulate more BCH and I was also able to get my 1 BCH back.
Finally, after hustling and grinding for 30 days, I was able to get my 1BCH back. I always keep a 1BCH in my wallet, and the rest are used for anything that my family needs or for some other important matter. I couldn’t hold more than 2 BCH last year because I always ended up withdrawing them because I always prioritized my family’s needs. I was also the one who did the groceries, and it’s all from my earnings on both the noise and read platforms.
It feels so nice to be able to provide something for my family, because all of my life I have only depended on my family. But right now, the tables have turned. The bills in the house got lessened because now only the four of us will be paying, which is my mom and my other two older siblings. I don’t usually buy stuff for myself because I always buy things for other people first before me. And I’m totally fine with it.
I am forever thankful for these two platforms, read.cash and noise.cash. Because of these platforms, I was able to provide for the needs of my family even though I was only staring at my laptop and phone all day. And you know what’s even better? Ever since my first withdrawal, I rarely heard my mom telling me ***"kaka selpon mo yan"*** LOL.
I am so thankful to the awesome people behind these platforms and my generous read cash buddies. I am so thankful that I got to know you all here. You guys are awesome! Read.cash and Noise.cash are literally the best platforms that I have ever known!

A Random Topic To Write
Bonjour! How’s it going? How was your day? I do hope that you guys had a great day today. As for my day, I didn’t do much today. All I’ve been up to this day was literally listening to a podcast about horror and some criminal cases. It didn’t bother me that much to listen to some gory stuff since I’m more into that. lol. But we’re not going to talk about some mystery and gore stories today. As you have read the article title, that’s what we’re gonna be tackling today.
I bumped into mareng @ExpertWritter 's Quiz Time: Picking 5 random Questions from 1-25 article just this day about some random topic. You already know that I don’t have any topic to write about if I publish stuff like this. And yeah, random topics are a lifesaver, especially for those people who have a busy day and are not able to prepare a topic to write about, just like me, but as for me, I am not busy, I am just lazy. Teehee. https://read.cash/@ExpertWritter/quiz-time-picking-5-random-questions-from-1-25-5bd03829#comment-90de5d5d
So, without further ado, buckle up, because now we’re heading to the world of randomness.

I must admit that we’re now in our lives that we’re starting to get more dependent on computers, but not just computers, but also the other technologies around us. We may not like how it sounds to our ears, but that’s what it truly is. It’s like our lives depend upon the technology that we have. As computers and technology evolve day by day, they become more relevant to mankind day by day. A computer will be one of the most important things a person needs, especially for employees and students. In the world we live in right now, it has become our way of communicating and has become our source of income. Just by tapping the keyboard on your computer, you can make anything from it. Computers are undoubtedly beneficial to us, but we must constantly remind ourselves not to become overly reliant on them; we must limit our reliance on computers and other technologies because we are already aware of their drawbacks. But it can be avoided if we just know how to limit ourselves to it.
Is the death penalty effective?
https://d2v9ipibika81v.cloudfront.net/uploads/sites/37/Death-Penalty.png
The death penalty is effective depending on which country or states you live in. There are lots of countries and states that have approved the death penalty. But if you’re going to ask if the death penalty is effective here in the country where I live in? No, and it will never be effective; it only brings no good to the country. Knowing how fcked up our justice system is, the death penalty is not a good choice at all. Our country is a place full of crocodiles and alligators hiding in the government. The abuser and the manipulator. And if they push for the death penalty, only the poor will be executed. Just imagine one of your family members was accused of a crime he didn’t do and is now on the verge of the death penalty. Imagine how cruel it could be.
But if we look at the other side of it, we couldn’t just blame some people if they want to push for the death penalty. Those are people from families that want to get the justice that they deserve, and some of them can only be at peace if the perpetrator or the culprit will no longer breath.
To what extent is the use of animals in scientific research acceptable?
https://www.eureporter.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Animal-testing.jpg
Animals can be used for research studies, ***AS LONG AS IT’S NOT HURTING THE ANIMALS***. It can be used as a research subject or object as long as they’re not abusing and hurting the living creature. We know how important animals are to the scientists and researchers working on their lab projects. It helps them better understand the subject that they’re experimenting with. BUT, let’s not forget that they’re not just an animal or pets. No matter how big or small the animals are, they don’t deserve to live that way. For those people who don’t know, some animals were bred and kept just to be used as an experimental subject. They don’t deserve it. They’re just like us; they feel pain too. Hundreds of thousands of animals die every year because of the chemicals that are used on them. **END COSMETIC TESTING ON ANIMALS. STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!**

Pretend you woke up one day and there were no rules. People could suddenly do whatever they wanted! Explain what the world would be like. Use your imagination!
https://img.texasmonthly.com/2021/07/forever-purge-movie.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-1.2.1&q=45
I already picture out what the world would be like if there were no rules. It’s A TOTAL MESS and the whole world would turn into chaos! You can do whatever you want, and no one will care about you. I have seen a short video about what the world would be like if there were no rules, and just like what I imagine, it really turns out exactly the same. But the mess can be avoided if people knew the word "***Unity***". But no matter what the world is like, with rules or no rules, there will always be some people who want to rule and be superior.
These are just my own opinions, and if you’re against some of the words that I stated, you can state yours, but let's just respect each other’s opinions. :>

You Will Never Be Successful
You’re useless, a moron, and you'll never be successful. Those were just some of the things I used to hear every day from people who, I guess, despised me. What's even hilarious is that most of the people that refer to me in this manner are my family. Isn't that ironic? Those in your so-called family who you believed would cheer you up are the ones who are trying to put you down.
My mom died when I was just 11 years old. My dad went to another country and lived with his new family. I've been living with my aunt since my father abandoned me. My aunt treated me fairly, just like I was her daughter when my dad was around. But as soon as dad said his goodbye to me, my aunt’s face suddenly changed. From a sweet and caring individual to a terror to be feared. I can’t believe her sudden change of attitude when my dad left. My dad was her older brother. But my dad couldn’t take me with him because his wife wouldn’t allow me to stay in her house. That is why Dad decided to leave me with my aunt.
My aunt has been treating me badly since my father left me and went to his new wife. She's been disguising her true feelings all this time, and I honestly believed she cared about me, but it was all a lie because my father was around. She treated me as if I wasn't her niece, and I felt like I was a slave in this house, obeying her orders.
I'm in my third year of college, majoring in culinary arts, and I've been working part-time at a café near our university to supplement my income. It's been five years since my father stopped financially supporting me. That's why I decided to get a part-time job to at least support my income. I haven't heard from Dad in a long time, and he hasn't responded to my messages. Perhaps his wife will forbid him from seeing me. After so many attempts to interact with him in the hopes of receiving a message, I eventually decided to give up.
When I got home, I noticed a bunch of liquor bottles on a table as well as on the kitchen table. There were chips all over the place, and the house was a mess. Before I went upstairs, I cleaned up the mess and tossed everything in a trash can. When I arrived at my room, I was surprised to find that the door was half-open and that all of my drawers and the box where I keep all of my savings were also open, with nothing inside. My heart broke, and I became increasingly concerned, wondering who could have done this. "No, No, No," I told myself as tears streamed down my cheeks. Then I heard my aunt's footsteps coming up the stairs. I stepped outside and asked if she could have entered my room. But then she became enraged, saying, "Did you just accuse me of stealing something from you? How dare you!"
How dare you accuse me? I let you stay in my house and that’s what you repay me with? " Okay, let’s just say that I took your money, and so what? I have the right to take all the money you have; you’re staying in my house rent-free, and the money that my brother sent isn’t enough. You know what, I should’ve tossed you out of the house when my brother left you here. You’re not even my niece, and we're not even related. " I paused and stared at her when I heard the last thing, she said to me. "What do you mean?" I asked her in a shocking tone. You’re not my brother’s daughter because you were just adopted. You should be thankful that I let you in, stupid. "
When she told me I was adopted, I broke into tears. I can't believe my father never mentioned that I was adopted. I feel as if everyone has deceived me. I just screamed and cried all night till I gave in and let myself weep myself to sleep.
Even though my eyes were puffy from sobbing the night before, I decided to go to the café the next morning. My aunt was not present when I awoke, as was usual. I had everything ready when I arrived at the café. It was still early in the morning, and no customers had yet arrived. While I was cleaning the counter, a middle-aged woman with bobbed hair came in and requested a cappuccino and chocolate moist cake. She sat in the café's corner, examining the interior, and I delivered the coffee and pastry she requested a few minutes later. She examines it carefully before taking a sip of coffee and biting into the cake.
A few hours later, she called me and said something. "Did you make the cake?" she asked, and I answered humbly, yes. I’m quite impressed with the taste; The flavor is extremely impressive; it's tasty and not overly sweet, a perfect blend of sweetness. Then I found out that she’s the owner of the biggest pastry shop and restaurant. She handed me her calling card if I ever wanted to work with her.
Three years later, I'm sitting on a sofa, reading my life narrative as a famous pastry maker from a magazine. I then closed the magazine and looked at the front cover, which featured my face. My accomplishment would not be possible without chef Dana's help and allowing me to work at her restaurant. As a result, a lot of people like all of the pastries I made.
Until now, I haven’t heard about my father, and as for my aunt, I heard she went out to the country with her boyfriend.

An obsession that leads to a horrifying death
Before I proceed, I just want to apologize for not being able to visit your articles. It's because there's no internet connection again. And yeah, it sucks. I just ended up writing this to ease my boredom. Hope you'll like it. :)
This is the continuation of my previous post, "Do You Believe In Ghosts?" Feel free to read the first one if you haven't. I'd very much appreciate it. https://read.cash/@Jinifer/do-you-believe-in-ghost-1bff0c94
As Joe tells Mike about his covert ghost research, he persuades Mike to partake in the study alongside both of them. This proves to everyone that the spirits can be communicated with and that they are real. Mike remarked, ***"You're a surgeon, not a psychic."*** Joe then began informing Mike about the prestigious award they could gain if they could publish a book claiming that humans can communicate with the dead. It might be a huge accomplishment for both of them. But Mike wasn't convinced; he believes that looking for something that doesn't exist is a waste of time. Joe, on the other hand, would not let himself fail to persuade Mike.
***"The ghost at the vending machine was my second ghost encounter, and it was your first. Now you're telling me that ghosts aren't real?"*** Joe stated this as he was trying to convince Mike. Joe's first encounter with a ghost is when it was the second night of his father's wake. A figure of a man appeared right in front of him, but he didn't see the face of it, but he was sure that it was his dad. Because of that, he was so thrilled to know more and encounter spirits. If they were able to successfully prove their theories, it would be a great achievement for them. All those hours worked for so many years would finally be paid off. They would be the first surgeons to prove such things.
And because of that, Mike just couldn't say "No" to his best friend and decided to go with what Joe had been up to. He took his hand and then they both shook their hands in agreement. Right after that, they decided to go back to the vending machine where the ghost appeared right in front of their eyes. They'd been waiting for hours, but there were no unnecessary movements. It was 3:45 AM when one of the chairs suddenly moved when there was no air. They looked at each other and a sudden thought popped into their minds.
The next morning, they went back to their meeting place, which was the old building. The ghosts that have been seen in photos uploaded on social media are all made up since the ghosts couldn't be seen on a camera. There are types of ghosts that are visible to the naked eye, while there are some that use things to scare people and to know that they're around.
At night time, they went to the most haunted part of the hospital, which is an abandoned room or serves as a '*bodega*' They went to see if there was any presence around or any movements. And all of a sudden, the drawers started to open and shut and a wheelchair started moving towards them.
"***We need someone,***" stated Joe. He thinks that those ghosts are just lost souls wandering around. Joe then suggested that there's a girl admitted in the hospital who won't last much longer. He wants Mike to make the girl his first girlfriend and make her fall for him, so that when the girl dies, she will surely come back because of Mike. But Mike disagrees with Joe's suggestion because it's absurd and it's too much. Using someone just for some research is too much for Mike.
Their conversation was cut off as Mike's phone suddenly rang. When Mike answered the call, he froze for a second and then rushed back to the room where his mom was. When he arrived, the other doctor told him that they were able to save his mom for now, but that the situation was getting worse and maybe she wouldn't survive the second time around. ***"You have to choose."*** The doctor then patted Mike's shoulder and left.
His mom was admitted for seven years to the hospital where he works. He had seen his mother suffer so much since the day they arrived at the hospital. And perhaps it's time for his mother to let go and finally rest peacefully with no more pain to endure. He moved closer towards his mom and whispered something to her ear, then gently removed her oxygen. And when he removed it, the line went straight, indicating that his mother was finally gone. He then burst into tears, hugging his mother tightly. His mother was his only family left, and now it's already gone.
Mike arrived at the hospital a few days later, emotionless and depressed. He went to their meeting place and said something to Joe that made Joe worried. As what you've said, in order for this research to be successful, someone needs to cross the afterlife, "Mike said with an emotionless expression. And as for him, that someone has to be him. Joe got close to Mike, with mixed emotions written on his face. ***"What are you talking about? Don't do that! "*** Joe was the one who brought Mike into this situation, and they shouldn't have gone to this point. ***"If anyone has to go, it should be me who goes to the afterlife. I'm the one responsible for this. I shouldn't have brought you into this. "***
Mike insisted that his decision was final and he was ready no matter what the outcome was. Joe notices that Mike won't listen to him no matter what he says. ***"Okay, if that's what you want. But to make it fair, let's flip a coin. And if it's a tail, I'm going, but if it's a head, you're going. "Deal?"*** They both agreed with the decision and took a coin out of his pocket. Joe then started flipping the coin, and when it landed in Joe's palm, when Joe opened his palm, they both stared at each other.

Do You Believe In Ghost?
***"An obsession that leads to a horrifying death"***
Mike was a surgeon at one of the most well-known hospitals in Manila. He studied medicine because of his mom, who was also admitted to the hospital he works at. The hospital has served as his home as well, ever since his mom was admitted for seven years.
He doesn't often go out with his coworkers and doesn't even have time to find a lover because his face will always be with his mom and his other patients. It's always been his priority before anything else. Mike has this best friend named Joe, who is his workmate and is also a surgeon. When it comes to interacting with other people, Joe is the complete opposite of Mike. Joe was at the top of their class during their college days and was also the campus heartthrob, so we can totally say that he already had everything a girl could dream about.
Joe was the one who always encouraged Mike to go out and find a lover and enjoy life. He also loves to play pranks on Mike, especially horror and scary pranks. Mike was the type of guy who didn't believe in ghosts or anything supernatural. He always believed that everything had scientific reasons and answers and that ghosts weren't real. But little did he know, his best friend Joe had a surprise in store for him.
A gust of cold air blew past them.***"Did you felt it?"*** Joe asked Mike, with a little excitement written on his face. ***"We're standing right in a vending machine, so we expect that it'll be cold, "*** answered Mike with an uninterested face. Joe insisted that it wasn't a normal wind because he was getting goosebumps all over his body. All of a sudden, a figure of a human appeared a few meters away from them. Its body was all burnt to crisps, and Joe then remembered that it was the dead body from the morgue that had just arrived in the morning. Joe then slowly went towards the body where it was standing. Mike tried to stop him but failed.
Mike took his phone out and started taking a video. Much to his surprise, there was no one on the video, but they could clearly see the ghost right in front of them. As they slowly approach the body with their trembling knees, it suddenly moves and looks at them, making them frightened and falling to the ground. Joe then laughs and tells Mike that the ghosts are real. Joe believed that Mike also saw the same thing as what he saw earlier.
The next morning, they talked about what they had seen that night. Mike showed Joe the video he took that night, and there was no one except them. They also looked at the CCTV camera and all they saw was the two of them and no one else. Joe then looks at Mike with a grin and excitement written on his face. ***"I want to show you something,"*** Joe stated as he led Mike to a certain place.
With a confused face, Mike asked Joe why they were in an old building. It was an old and abandoned nurse station that was at the back of the new building. Dust was everywhere, and everything was a mess. They arrived in a room with two flipped white boards and a blackboard. There was something written on all of the boards that made Mike even more confused. Joe has been doing research about ghosts ever since they were in college, all by himself. His obsession with ghosts made him travel to different haunted places, such as the haunted house in Korea and the suicide forest in Japan. He's been to many haunted places all over the world, but out of all those places he's been to, there was no paranormal activity.
That is why he chose the old building as his research in the hope of encountering a ghost, but after many years of staying in that building, he still hadn't encountered a single one. His first encounter with a ghost was with his father, and right after that incident, it made him want to study if ghosts really exist.

Hey, there! My apologies if I was inactive again today, it's because we lost our internet connection again for a hundred times. It's been raining in here, so that explains why. As much as I want to interact with you more, my internet connection just won't cooperate. But i do really tried my best to interact with you guys.

If you only see the worst things, you'll miss the best part
Hey, hello everyone! What's up and what's your plan for tomorrow? As for me, I don't have any plans because I've been doing the same thing all over again and again. It's what my morning to evening routine is. My daily life cycle.
This morning, I really didn't have much to do. That is why I was able to read more than 30 articles in one day! I was only using my phone because I let my laptop rest for a day, but if I was using my laptop, I could've read way more than that, lol. Because I wasn't so busy, well, I really am not. I have watched lots of movies today. Yeah, that's what I've been doing since the morning, just watching some movies, making some noise, and reading all your articles. Lazy yet productive, you know what I'm saying? Lmao.
The last movie that I watched today was ***"Hotel Transylvania: Transformania,"*** where they transformed back to their original human form. It was a great movie, and we enjoyed watching it. I watched it along with my nephew and niece. The animated movie isn't just for kids because it also tackles the relationship between the father-in-law and the son-in-law. And it has a lot of lessons, especially for couples who don't have a great relationship with their in-laws. And I bet some of you can all relate to what Johnny felt towards the monster family.
But aside from that family matter, what really got me was what Johnny said towards Drac, and it is...
***" If you only see the worst things, you'll miss the best part. "***
We're somewhat guilty of this phrase. It's because sometimes we're so busy focusing on the worst things to the point that we already forget the best parts of them. We're blinded by it. We easily see the worst in it without knowing that it's only the shallow part that we see, and we haven't dived deeper yet to where the best part is.
Just like when we're barbecuing a marshmallow. Just because you burned the marshmallows doesn't mean they can no longer be eatable because their outer part is black and burned. Then you decide to throw it away and get another one. You throw a marshmallow because it's already burned without knowing that you just missed the tastiest part of it. If you take a burned marshmallow, it can still be eaten. All you have to do is to take away the burned outer part, and then you'll get to see the soft, tasty, and guwy inside of a marshmallow. You just have to look for the best part of it.
It's just like when we're meeting with new people. And sometimes we can't help ourselves not to judge certain people that we've just met. Just like when we see a girl whose behavior and attitude are so uncomfortable to look at. We see the way she approaches the men she's hanging out with, and it looks like she's acting flirtatious towards the men, and from that, we get to conclude that she is flirty whenever men are around. But little did we know that it was just her way of interacting with the people she was hanging out with. The truth is that she's friendly, jolly, and easygoing, and the best companion to be with.
We only see the worst things without even seeing the best parts of them. We were blinded by the first look when the truth is that it's just the shallow part that we saw and we haven't even dived deeper to where the best part is.
We are able to judge a person solely based on their appearance without even knowing them personally.That is why we shouldn't just judge whether it's a thing or a person by their appearance because we don't know that the guy with a fully covered tattoo and the girl who loves to wear revealing clothes could be the best and nicest people we'll ever meet.

Sunday is Fam Day
Hi there! How's it going, everyone? How was your weekend so far? Did you guys spend your weekend with your family? Or did you take advantage of the weekend so you can have a rest. I hope you did so that you can at least have a decent rest, knowing that most of us here are all hustlers that have been hustling and grinding 24/7. We all deserve a break, so always remember not to pressure yourself too much, so that you'll not regret everything in the end. Our body is our one and only most prestigious treasure that we have, which is why we should take good care of it.
As for me, my weekends will always be family days. Because that's the only time that we get to gather around because weekdays are busy days for them. Most of the people in our household are all employed, and I am the only one that isn't. Well, I'm still in college. What I mean is that I'm the only oldie that will be left in the house except for my grandparents and my cousins who are still in high school. That is why there are times when I will be left home alone because all of them have gone to the places they wanted to go, lol. And I don't mind being left alone though, because I've gotten used to it already and I always prefer staying inside my room while reading some articles.
***Saturday***
Last Saturday, we had a cousins' bonding night. Well, basically every Saturday night will always be our cousin's night. We always get together to hang out. Sometimes we go out of town or go to the beach if none of them has a busy work schedule. But sometimes we also prefer staying in the house, which we mostly do. We just buy food or have some food delivered to us and have a food trip. Last night, what they were up to was Videoke, or video karaoke. They only used a Bluetooth speaker so that it wouldn't be too loud and to not disturb other neighbors. They were staying on our grandparents' terrace. They were only using their phones to browse YouTube for karaoke. Sing-along karaoke with cousins and a few beers is sulit!
But, I wasn't staying with them because I chose to stay inside and read some of your articles. I only went out with them for a few minutes, and then I got bored. I only even sang one song, lol. I'm not acting like KJ at that time, it's just that I got bored and I was not in the mood to hang with them at that time, so I told them that I'd just be staying inside, which they also understood. I've been listening to their sing-along until midnight. They finished their karaoke at exactly 1 AM, which is quite too early because they usually do it at 2 or 3 AM.
***Sunday***
Today is Sunday. My Lolo, who is my grandpa, celebrated something, and it is the feast of Senior Santo Niño. It's been my grandparents' tradition to celebrate the feast of Santo Niño. Being in a very religious family is more about prayers, and you'll see lots of saints everywhere, in every corner of the house. My grandparents were devotees of the Santo Niño, especially my grandpa. My Lolo bought lots of ingredients for the foods that he wanted to cook. My mum helped him prepare all the stuff. They cooked some traditional Filipino cuisine, such as "pancit, Humba, Sinabawang Manok, and some pork."
All of the family was in the house, and it was total chaos because there were kids everywhere. Just imagine what the house looks like with 17 great grandkids running all around the house. A total mess!
Look at this cute little superman of ours, flexing his strength. He was the most hyped of all the kiddos around me, lol.
We had our dinner so early. One of the reasons why our grandparents' dining area was so huge was so that we could all fit in at every family gathering. We are literally a huge family.
My weekend has been great, and we all had fun. Thankfully, I wasn't grumpy, and my mood was really good. Haha.
What about yours?

Keep Your Eyes Peeled
***W***e live in a society where ***everyone is a surveillance camera*** that is always watching us every day and second of our lives. Karen's and Marites are all over the place, keeping an eye on everyone. People like that don't have a specific aim because they are intrigued by everything that draws their attention. Not just Karens and Marites are like this, but every single one around us. We shouldn't be more comfortable with everyone, as sometimes it leads us to be the miserable ones. People are good at changing their masks to fit whoever they are with without us noticing. We, too, wear a mask that differs depending on who we are with. As @Murakamii.7 stated in her article, Are you a Marites?. We all are Karens and Marites who sometimes get intrigued by other people's lives. https://read.cash/@Murakamii.7/are-you-a-marites-195e3dbc
As we become older, we become more aware of our surroundings and the individuals we interact with. We may know someone who we believe ***would not harm a fly*** but who turns out to be the polar opposite of our expectations. Each of us has a ***hidden agenda*** and ***a skeleton in our closet*** that we would never expose to anyone. We don't want other people to see the other side of us, which is completely different from how we used to act on a daily basis.
The truth is that we wear different faces every day, and each face varies depending on the different kinds of people we are with. The funny one, the depressed one, and the professional one. We all show each of our faces to whoever we interact with. We have different types of friends and our attitudes change depending on which group of friends we hang out with. Just like mine, I have a group of friends in school, and I also have friends outside of school and a neighbourhood friend. But not literally my best friends, just a group of people I casually hang out with.
Out of many people that I encounter and interact with every day wherever I was, I can say that only 30 percent of those people shows their true self and identity. Only a few people will have the courage to take their masks off and just be themselves.
However, we shouldn't get too comfortable with the people we hang out with. We shouldn't give them the full trust we have, because even your blood relative can turn your back down and ***stab you in the back***. How much more is someone who's not even related to you? Just like what Karen and Marites would usually do. They have this kind of manipulative way of interacting with someone; they have these emotions shown in their faces that you, yourself can’t help but get manipulated by them.
We should always ***keep our eyes peeled*** and should not let our guard down, because it is too hard to trust people nowadays. They may be good at first, but we will never know when they will show their real intent and showcase their ***true colors***. What you thought would be your friend turns out to be your worst enemy.
Always remember, to keep your eyes peeled.
*Would you believe me if I told you that this article was drafted a couple of months ago, since last year? I wrote this one right after Kuya* @meitanteikudo *published his new prompt, which is "idioms." I started writing mine right after I read his. I thought that I could publish this right away, but it turns out it got abandoned by me. I didn't touch nor open it. I just let it sleep in my drafts. I suddenly got tired and ended up not finishing it. LOL. But thankfully, I read ate Jane's article recently and I suddenly remembered that I had written an entry for that prompt too. Thanks to her, I finally picked myself up and started writing to finish this up. Teehee. :)*

What Are You Scared Of?
Aloha! How are you? There’s no special event happening to me right now. It was just a day with my cousins, who kept annoying me every second. They wanted me to cook something, but I’m tired, and also, they wanted me to cook, but they hadn’t prepared the things that were needed, including the ingredients. That’s why I didn’t get to cook anything because I got tired of them pushing who would be the one to buy the ingredients. None of them wanted to buy them because it was too hot to go outside. These boys, Hays,
For today’s article topic, we will be tackling phobias. Do you guys also have phobias? What are your phobias?
Coulrophobia
A fear of clowns
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Scary_Clowns_at_PDC2008_Party_at_Universal_Studios_%28cropped%29.jpg
I hate clowns, but I love to watch the movies I.T, lol. I don’t like clowns; I hate them, literally. I didn’t find them funny at all. I found them creepy and scary. Their costumes and make-up make them even look creepier, especially that big red circle on their noses. I can’t stand to stare at them or even look at them for a minute. It gives me goosebumps whenever I see clowns in real life, but in movies, I am not scared. Only in real life. If you dress yourself as a clown, don’t expect me to get any closer to you, even if I know that it’s you.
Alektorophobia
Fear of Chickens
https://www.askideas.com/media/39/I-Refuse-To-Become-A-Nugget-Funny-Chickenn-Meme-Picture.jpg
It may sound hilarious that there’s someone who has a phobia of chickens, but it’s true. There are quite a few people who have fears of chickens. I remember this person from our high school days. She was my friend's ex. Her fear of chickens is very severe, because even if it's a very cute little chick, she won’t get close to it and will run away as if her life was in danger. That’s how bad her phobia is. The reason why she suddenly feared chickens was because of her childhood days when she said that she had been attacked by a hen when she was just walking past a chicken. The hen flew right through her face and scratched her eyes. After that incident, she was traumatized and would never get close to any chickens, whether they were newborn chicks or not.
And here's one funny thing: her favourite food was fried chicken. The revenge. LOL
Arachnophobia
Fear of Spiders
https://images.news18.com/ibnlive/uploads/2021/12/spiderman-meme-16401651614x3.png
Spiders are one of the most common insects that people fear the most. It’s because of the tingling feeling whenever one crawls on our skin. I admit that I also feared spiders, especially the bigger ones, but not that much. In fact, when I was younger, I used to go along with my cousins to hunt some spiders and make them fight for each other. It’s like a cockfight, but it’s a spider, or should I say, a spider fight. HAHA.
I find spiders cute, but I get scared of the bigger ones.
Pediophobia
Fear of Dolls
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/98BD/production/_121610193_dolls2.jpg
Some people enjoy collecting various types of dolls from all over the world; some even treat them as if they were their child, sister, or baby. Kids love dolls, but some adults fear them the most. Only a few adults love to collect dolls, especially antique and old ones. It gives them satisfaction whenever they are able to get a new one. Dolls may look cute and pretty, but not until they say "Hi" to you and cook Pancit Canton at midnight.
Thalassophobia
Fear of deep bodies of water, such as the ocean or sea
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRpSb4hlVV8_CZyvX8HUT-3x5XDtJo48yBpdhJd7IwkrYnOa1zrLBdbpVT9yxuI8pYDbE8&usqp=CAU
Have you also imagined what’s beneath the surface of the ocean? Do you also fear that something might pull you under the water while you are swimming? I myself am also afraid of deep areas, especially in the water, whether it’s a river, ocean, or even a pool. One of the reasons why some people fear what’s beneath the water is because of their past incidents that involved water. I have experienced getting drowned in a pool and if the man hadn’t seen me drowning at that time, maybe I wouldn’t be writing this one right now. And the 10th of May marks the 12th anniversary of my death.

Spin That Wheel
Oh, hi there, everyone. How are you? Did you guys have a great and wonderful day? Well, as for me, I just spent an ordinary day, like my everyday routine or everyday cycle of how my day was going. No special occasion happened, no nothing, lol. We just played some card games with our grandparents, like what we usually do every day because we don’t have anything else to do. There’s a television, but it's still no use because it doesn’t have any signal. Sometimes, to ease our boredom, I cooked or made some desserts for them, just like cupcakes and ice cream, or sometimes we went on some food trips and cooked whatever we wanted.
Okay, so we’re not going to dive deeper into how my day went so far. As I was watching some anime, I realized that I hadn’t written an article for today and I hadn’t prepared anything. Though I have some drafted articles, I am not in the mood to finish one of them. But then I remember the recent article by @Corpsekunno and after reading her article, it gave me some topics to write about, so this is what my article is all about.
Now let’s start spinning the wheel...
What’s your favourite drink?
My old self would literally answer "coffee or soft drinks," lol. Sorry, but let’s stay hydrated and be healthy. Yup, my favourite drink will be water. Just plain water, and not a cold one. I’m not fond of drinking cold water because I got used to drinking just regular water and, yeah, I am a water addict. I mean, let’s all stay hydrated y’all, and make sure to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day to keep our bodies healthy. *winks*
Recall the first fight you had in your childhood. Now write an apology to the person you fought with.
Let me share with you this annoying attitude of mine when I was younger. I am a war freak child, literally, and I have had anger issues in the past, and I can say that it has only exacerbated my anger issues up until now HAHA. Well, I guess I fought all of my cousins when we were younger, and the worst fight I had was with this other girl cousin of mine. She wore my slippers without asking my permission. I’ve been looking for it in every corner of the house. I asked who was wearing my slipper, but no one answered, but when I went outside barefoot, I saw my cousin wearing my slipper. I was so freaking mad and I told her to give me back my slipper, but she wouldn’t take it off. She told me to hand her another slipper for her, but I was so mad because she really wouldn’t give my slipper back even though I’ve been telling her a hundred times. Then my patience went out and I went close to her. I pulled her hair and punched her. LMAO. Then we fought. Everything was a mess. After our fight, I shouted at her, "If you just gave me my slipper back earlier, we wouldn’t end up like this!"
So, I will not say sorry. Well, it’s her fault after all. LMAO.
What does writing mean to you?
I just want to be more specific. read.cash means a lot to me, when I say read.cash, what I mean is writing. Through this platform, I get to express more about myself and I get to share things and happenings in my life that I couldn’t share with anyone. As I started writing on this platform, I started to get more confident in myself. It boosted my confidence even more and I got to meet and be friends with some wholesome people all across the globe. Writing is my way of escaping the harsh reality and the toxicity of society.
What are the top things people know about you that aren’t true?
This is one of the fun things that people usually say about me. Most of them think that I was born rich. I don’t know what made them think that I was when the truth is I am broke asf. I couldn't even afford a single pen during my high school years. I’m not even kidding. We’re literally poor. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. We were loaded with debts everywhere. There were even times before that we didn’t have anything to eat. Yup, we’re so poor. I asked them what made them say that I was rich, and they said it was because of how I looked. And I was like, wth? What’s with my look? I’m not even wearing some expensive and branded clothes lol. They said that I look neat with whatever I wear, even though it’s just a simple shirt. That’s why I look rich. LOL. And one of the funniest things I heard is that, I look rich because of my skin. What on earth is that? I don’t even do a skincare routine. HAHAHA.
If you guys wanna do this too, you can just **slap that bass** and redirect to the site. And guess what? You can even create your own choices if you didn't like what's already written on the wheel. Now spin that wheel and Enjoy! https://wheelofnames.com/8sn-cm6

What Makes You Nostalgic?
The feeling of nostalgia you get when you see a familiar thing, such as photos or random things from the past, makes you reminisce about all those happy and fun memories you had before. It makes you want to go back in time and do those things again. Those times when we only think about ourselves and, without anything else, those memorable moments we spent with our loved ones, friends, classmates, and families, especially those families of ours that are no longer by our side. Those people who were special to us and are part of the journey in our lives and who we’ve become today.
Today, I was inactive in the noise again because I used my phone’s personal hotspot for my laptop because until now, the cable for our router hasn’t been fixed yet, nor even the cable for the television. It’s been a month already since the wrath of Odette, but there are still some wires and cables that haven’t been fixed, especially the wi-fi. I really need some internet connection and as the new year starts, I guess I have already spent more than a thousand already on my load expenses because a 50 peso or a dollar worth of load isn’t enough. It couldn’t even last two days, although it’s supposed to be valid for three days. And what’s worse is that the internet connection here is not stable and it keeps on lagging, which sometimes triggers my mood, LOL.
So, enough with my mini-rant as I want this article for today to be a fun and memorable one!
This afternoon, my family members were in the living room playing some cards. My cousins were playing Mobile Legends while my grandparents were playing card games, and do you know who their opponents were? Well, their opponents were my niece and nephews, their great-grandchildren, lmao. Mind you, people, they’re not gambling, or you think they’re being trained to play some card games or poker to gamble, lol. It’s just for fun, the seniors versus the kiddos. HAHA. We always played along with our grandparents to take away the boredom since they couldn’t watch television yet because there was still no signal on it.

As everyone was so busy doing their things, my other nephew came out of the other room, laughing hysterically while holding a photo album in both of his hands. Then we asked him what was so funny about that, and then he showed us a pic of a teenage girl in a school uniform. And it was his mother, my older sister. That’s why he’s laughing because it was his mom. What made him laugh even more was the hairstyle of my sister, the iconic bangs. I guess most Filipino kids have tried that hairstyle before. It’s like Dora’s hairstyle, that’s why we called it Dora.
He gave us the other photo album that his left hand was holding. It was an old photo album. It even has a date imprinted on it. We all stopped what we were doing and just looked at all the photos that were in a photo album. There were photos of our grandparents when they were a bit younger, when my aunts and uncles were still teenagers. There’s a photo of our old house and the Lansones tree that my great-great-grandmother planted, my grandfather’s mother. I am glad that I was still able to see her face and experience her very strict attitude. LOL. I was a very little kiddo before, as far as I can remember, I guess I was 5 or 6 at that time when we snuck into the back of her house and grabbed some Lansones, even though they were not that ripped yet.
As seen in the photos, the view in our place before was so beautiful. Everything was visible with lots of trees and the wide space where we used to play tag and hide and seek. But right now, there are already lots of houses everywhere and most of them are for rent. Most trees have been cut already and there’s no more wide space because it’s full of houses already. The place where we used to play tag and hide and seek is getting so small, or I guess we’re just getting older and older.
When you see the places that have been a great part of your childhood, it really gives off a great feeling of nostalgia, reminiscing those fun and memorable moments of our lives. We can’t bring back time, but we can bring back those moments anytime by keeping them through our memories.

What Keeps You Up All Night?
Good Morning, Good After and Good Evening to my wholesome read.cash buddies all around the globe. I bet most of you here are peacefully sleeping already, while I guess maybe some of you here just woken up and now sipping their cup of coffee in a cold freezing morning. Whatever you're up to right now, I hope you guys are having the best day of your lives!
It's already 12:00 midnight in here and here I am letting my fingers do the work and randomly tapping every letters on the keyboard that forms a words to what my hands desires. As I was writing this one, I opened slightly the window just to peek a little outside and check the weather. The sky were so red that it signifies that it's gonna rain any minute now. I can feel the cold wind touching my skin and it gives me chills. I close the window and went back to the bed. I thought to myself that I will just finished this tomorrow and just save it as a draft but the other part of me wanted to publish this right away at this hour.
I put my phone down because I want to sleep already but it took me 10 minutes to get sleepy, so I decided to take my phone back and watch some YouTube shorts. I watched some relaxing videos such as ASMR to keep me relax and so that I get sleepy easily, but it doesn't help at all because my eyes were wide awake and won't even shut down.
I have watched various YouTube videos to keep myself entertained and most of it are ASMR because I'm so eager to sleep already but my eyes just won't let me, they don't cooperate with my body. Lol. I got up and went to the kitchen, I looked for some foods to eat but most of it are just some foods that I don't like to eat. But then I saw the one and only noodles left. It was the only noodle left, so I grabbed it and prepared some boiled water, I also added some eggs to make it even tastier.
I feel so alive and satisfied when I'm done with the noodles. Thank goodness that there were still some rice left, so what I did is I mixed it all up and now I'm having a tasty midnight snack lol. As I was eating, the rain suddenly poured so heavily, the soup from the noodles fits perfectly to the weather and to my mood tonight. Every sip of it makes me feel so warm.
Everyone was peacefully sleeping in here while I, on the other hand, was so busy cooking something to eat lol. I'm like a cat looking for food in any corner of the house. My mom even wakes up and asked me what's going on haha, but I just told her that I'm little hungry and my little tummy just wanted to eat something.
So, this was basically what kept me up all night tonight. My not sleepy eyes won't cooperate with me, but instead only cooperate with my tummy. They literally have the same vibes, my eyes and my tummy tho, and I think they really planned the timing of this hour. LOL.
After sipping some noodle soup, I burp a little and feels so satisfied with what I cooked. My tummy is now happy and I hope it won't bother me when I'm asleep. I hate going into the cr especially when I'm so sleepy. Because sometimes I end up sleeping inside the comfort room haha.
So I guess this stops here. I'm heading off to dreamland now.
Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
