Disadvantages of Cryptocurrencies
As cryptocurrency became widely known all over the world, many people get interested in it. Many well-known people show interest in crypto that they invest in it and got curious how this cryptocurrency will bring changes in the world.
Some well-known companies are accepting crypto and I am sure many of you, as crypto-enthusiast are aware of it. Some people who are a noob in terms of this crypto eagerly researching about it and even following well-known people on how to invest and make a profit out of it.
As cryptocurrency overtaking the world little by little, many people became interested in it. No doubt, **cryptocurrency is now the new trend.**
I, myself am getting curious about how crypto will affect society and the world.
I am not a crypto-enthusiast and I know I am far from that unlike any of you who are reading this article. I can't even label myself as a noob in crypto, but one thing is for sure, I am getting a step closer to being a noob.
I am earning well enough in this platform and noise cash. At first, I don't care about this cryptocurrency especially bitcoin cash, all I know is I am earning money. But now, the wind change, and I regret those times that I didn't save what I have earned for the past few months. *(Please read my article* *Regret**)* https://read.cash/@JulyAnn/regret-6c0117e3
I get back my feet on the right track and started to think of saving what I am earning here and try to do the things that most of you are doing. My sudden interest in cryptocurrency specifically in BITCOIN CASH arose. As I am earning and saving bch, I get excited about how this BCH will grow if I don't spend it.
*Will BCH be the answer to my prayers?*
Well If you think I overreacting, you are free to say that. I have read many articles here about their journey in Bitcoin cash and I can't help to be excited about growing my bch earnings.
Every morning I have this ***"BCH SYNDROME"*** where every time I woke up, I check my wallet. Every time it rises I am at cloud nine and when it went down you can't paint my face. That's how BCH affects my system and my life.
`(DISCLAIMER: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "BCH SYNDROME", I JUST NAME IT FOR MY EVERYDAY SCENARIO)`
We all know that cryptocurrencies are volatile, they may rise or drop at any second. Bitcoin cash rise at its highest value this month which is $1600. Every BCH holders are very happy, and I am in the same boat.
As some crypto rises and some people are delighted, I can't help to think of its disadvantages. I know I am being a pessimist but that thought crosses my mind. So I ask, what may be the disadvantage of cryptocurrency?
So I did some research...
Disadvantage of cryptocurrency
****Can be used for the illegal transaction.**** The privacy and security of cryptocurrency transactions are high, it may be hard for the government to track down any user by their wallet address or keep tabs on their data. Cryptocurrency can be used as a mode of exchanging money in some illegal activities like buying illegal drugs.
****Data losses can cause financial losses****. Developers wanted to create a virtually untraceable source code, strong hacking defense, and impenetrable authentication protocol. But if the user loses its private key to the wallet, there's no getting it back. This may result in users' financial loss.
****Decentralized but still can be operated by some organizations.**** Crypt currency is known for being decentralized but the flow and amount of money in some currencies in the market are still controlled by its creator and some organization.
****Some coins are not available in other fiat currencies.**** Some cryptocurrencies can only be traded in one or a few currencies. This forces the users to convert it to major currency and later exchange it to their desired currency. By doing this, extra transaction fees are added to the process.
****No refund or cancellation policy.**** If someone mistakenly sends money to the wrong address, the money cannot be retrieved by the sender. This can be used to cheat others out of their money.

`(Disclaimer: If you wish to know more about its advantages and disadvantages just click the source link.)`
Those are the disadvantages I have read based on my research. I just read only one link because I think that would be enough to know and understand its disadvantages.
I know cryptocurrency will continue to grow. As it continues to grow, for example, sure it will face some obstacles and problems that need to get through.
As a beginner, all I hope and pray is for it grows even bigger and to be widely know and accepted by society.
Regret
***"Regret is a feeling of sorrow or a remorse for a fault, act, loss, dissapointment,etc."***
***"Regret is a feeling of sadness or disappointment, which is caused by something that has happened or something that you have done or not done."***
As the saying goes, ***"Nasa huli ang pagsisisi."*** in english **"Repentance/regret is always on the latter."**
As we live our life to the fullest, we can't avoid feeling regret with every decision we make. Days that we wish we can turn it back. Days we wish we can correct our mistakes. But in reality, we can't change things that happened in the past, nor turned back the time, and that's sad.
***What is my regret?***
I didn't realize it first until recently, I had a little conversation on the comment box with @Zhyne06 . I don't remember where our conversation started and I am lazy looking back at it. 😊 Our conversation ends with when I started in read cash and how much the value of Bitcoin Cash before.
Let me tell you again my unending story of how I started here in read cash, but I won't elaborate it more or tell in detailed, 'cause even I is getting sick of that story.
I started read cash long ago. I started during the pointing system era and when Bitcoin cash value is at $200+. I just need to take a break because of some circumstances.
During my time writing an article, I am earning enough money to support my needs. I can pay my loans, give load to my siblings, add money for our daily expenses and lastly, I can support my luxury, ***like buying shoes, clothes, etc.*** All I do with my extra earned money is browse on online shopping and if I find something I want to buy, I will immediately place it in order. That's how I spend my earnings. During that time, I think I am a one day millionaire. I am thinking that what I spent today, I can earned anyway. So there, spend here and there is what I did in the past. But only with my BCH earnings. The money I earned in my job before, I sent in to my family and save for emergency purpose.
I have a little knowledge of cryptocurriencies, like **BITCOIN CASH**. The beginning of my journey here in read cash, one Bitcoin cash is worth $200+ at time. Although my friend told me that cryptocurrency is volatile, it may rise or drop, I don't even care/mind. All I know is that, the BCH I've earned, I can spend it anytime, and that's what I did.
I accumulated a total of **0.57210787 BCH** since **JUNE** up to **December 2020** ever since joining in read cash, when converted to Philippine peso, it's a total of **Php. 40,000+**. It's a huge amount of money. Where can you easily earned that money? Here in read cash you can earned it by simply **writing your own article.** I am very thankful to read cash, because during lockdown, I find comfort here. Read cash serves as a shoulder and a pillow where I can vent my anger, loneliness and sorrow. Through read cash, I can expressed the emotions built inside me.
That earnings is the fruit of my hardwork and perseverance in writing an article. By receiving micro tips from the robot and by other users, I accumulated that huge amount. (I'm encouraging you to read The Power of Micro Tips by @bmjc98 ) https://read.cash/@bmjc98/the-power-of-micro-tips-4ae56c51
Let me tell you. Now I understand why when we want to shop or buy, **we must never look at the price** of the object we want to buy. That makes us regret. ***Example***, when you go to the mall and looking for something you **REALLY** want to buy and suddenly find it, first thing you do is look at the price. You become hesitant to buy even if you really wanted it, because the price is more than what you think. You contemplate whether you will buy it or not. It happened most of the time, and most of the time, you will decide not to buy. Why? Because you think of the money you will spend.
During the days that I am continuously earning here, I saved to pay my loans and after paying it, the rest of my money I spent it in online shop. I never hesitate to placed an order if I saved atleast Php.200 on my coins.ph wallet. I will buy clothes, shoes, phone accessories, bulb, lamp, etc. I will buy my siblings and parents too. Whatever they want as long as I can afford the prize. I easily spent all my BCH earnings.
Now, looking back at that time, I realize my huge mistake. If only I saved my BCH earnings, how much will it value now? Remember, I starts here where BCH value is at $200+. If I tried to restrained myself from spending it, how much will that 0.57 BCH now?
Bitcoin cash is slowly rising. It reaches it's highest value at $1500+. Looking at the current value, it makes me regret even more.
With that experienced, I've learned my lesson. I am saving my BCH earnings now here in read cash and noise cash. I will try to save as much as possible and learn to explore BCH even better and look how my earnings will grow.
Happy Heart's Day in May?
Maybe you're wondering...
Huh? Heart's Day? In May? Isn't celebrated in February?
Don't be confused. Valentine's Day is celebrated in month of February. I'm making this article because of the sudden uproar that is happening in noise cash as of now.
Noise.cash is a site similar to read.cash, both promoting BCH.
Read cash is a platform where you can publish article and earn Bitcoin cash. You can put images and videos on your article to make it more interesting and unique. The robot (The Random Rewarder) will upvote your article. The readers can also upvote or article if they like it. It automatically sent it in your read cash wallet.
Noise cash on the other hand, is a social microblogging site similar to Twitter which allow users to earn bitcoin cash from tips for making original short posts.
Noise cash is a new site and this platforn is still under upgrade. If you are a user from the start to can enumerate the changes happened for the past few months. But for the new users, they probably have few ideas what changes happened.
Let me tell you the changes happened when they upgrade the site.
**First**, only the ****subscriptions****, ****explore****, ****notification bell**** and your ****profile**** exists at the upper part.
Now, you as you can see, they added the ***chamber*** and the ***search button.***
**Second**, when you click your profile, you will only see ****My Post****, ****Site Rules****(not sure), ****wallet**** and ****Logout****.
Now, except to those mentioned above we can see now ***Dark/light mode*** and ***Add to Home Screen.***
**Third**, when you click the wallet, you can also see a box where you need to put your ****bitcoin cash wallet**** for you to receive a tip.
Now, they put another box where in you can put and set your ***minimum payout.***
**Fourth**, tips are given by the users, and the site will give you free tips that you will give to other users. I think, just my personal opinion, it's the main bridge for interaction.
As you can see, I still have $0.01 free tips that I can give to any users. (I will give this later after this article.) Now, free tips will be removed.
And **lastly**, the ****hearts****. Before, giving hearts to posts don't have value.
Now, giving hearts to post have a value now, and that's because of the new upgrade of the site again.
Noise.cash posted few hours ago about it.
Because of that upgrade, most of the users are very happy. As you browse and scroll in noise cash, you can see countless of posts about it.
Hearts are everywhere in noise cash that it seems it's *Valentine's Day*. I am also receiving 0.01, 0.02 or 0.03 in comments I make.
Just a friendly reminder and as a user too, in noise cash. Let's all **be responsible** and **don't abuse** the given opportunity to us. We must use it wisely. Noise.cash is being generous enough to us by giving free tips. This new upgrade is for the betterment of the site and for all the users who actively supporting noise cash and the BCH community.
Thank you @FrieLincs for the sponsorship! 😊
Which is More Important Your Wallet or Your Phone?
*"It's okay to lose my phone but not my wallet."*
Or
*"It's okay to lose my wallet but not my phone."*
*For you, which is more important your wallet or your phone?*
I think some of you now are thinking, wallet or phone? Some may already have their answer and some are still torn. If you're still torn to choice between the two, let's talk about it's importance.
Wallet
I am pretty sure that most of you are using or have atleast one wallet, right? But in what reasons are you using it?
We have several reasons why we use wallet. It can keep our personal belongings, documents, cards and of course our money. It is also a great accessory to define our style and image. Boys and girls have their own prefence in choose a wallet that definite suit their taste and style. Some boys want big and thick wallet and girls prefer either small or big that depends on their taste.
Using a wallet enhanced safety and convenience. Carrying your small documents and money in your pocket brings some inconvenience. You always find difficulties by just getting them, especially when it's at the very bottom of your pocket. Sometimes, you forgot it in your pocket or sometimes when you are getting other things in your pocket, it accidentally drop without your knowledge. At times also, you forgot your money and documents at home because you forgot where you put them. When you have a wallet, you will have your items intact together. It easily for you to find the small documents and money you need.
Mobile Phone
Mobile phones became a necessity nowadays. Everyone has their own mobile phones. Some only have one and some have many. We all know it's uses. We can send and received messages and calls. Mobile phones go beyond sending and receiving. Through our phones we can take pictures, listen to music, watch videos, play games, stored data and documents, used internet access and even locate and explore the world.
The way of communication change because of new technology. From pigeons to letters, and from telephones to mobile phones. Mobile phones are the latest and common way to easily communicate nowadays.
Mobile phones are continuously upgrading. With the helped of developers who continuously developed applications that we can do to our mobile phones. Mobile phones now can serves as a wallet.
Here are some e-wallets that are commonly used.
There are more e-wallets and I only named a few. Bitcoin.com wallet is also an example.
Anyway, let's go back to the topic. We all know that both are useful and important. But the question is, ***which is more important?***
I remember last 2019, I went to worked early in the morning, around 5 o'clock, I rode in a jeepney, get my wallet in my bag and paid, and put it back inside. Since I am a little too far from my first destination (need to ride two jeepneys to arrived at my workplace), I decided to used my phone and scrolled in facebook. I've arrived in my first destination and put my phone in my bag where my wallet was. I am walking and didn't noticed anything. I rode in a jeepney again, but when I was about to pay, my wallet was gone. I looked for my phone and it was gone too. I panic of the sudden occurrence, and looked at my bag for the second time, thinking that maybe I don't put it where I actually put it, but no good. I told the driver that I forgot something and he stopped the jeep. I looked on the road where I walked but no phone or wallet I've seen. That's when reality hits me, **I was robbed!**
Lucky, I have another wallet. I can able to go to work. The wallet that was robbed has only 35 pesos in total. I used it for coins. What makes me feel regret was my PHONE.
I arrived at my work and told my co-workers about what happened. I borrowed their phone and tried to call my number but no one's answering until it turned off. What I've uttered to them is that, ***"He can take my wallet but not my phone!"***. Those words are useless because I can't took back what I've lost.
**So to you, which is more important your wallet or your phone?**
From Mobile Legends Addicts to Noise.cash
Few days ago, I wrote an article about how I asked my neighbors to joined noise.cash and how I informed them about BCH. (Article: Spreading BCH Awareness in my Neighborhood) I just shared the basic information on both. https://read.cash/@JulyAnn/spreading-bch-awareness-in-my-neighborhood-117b2440
Let me tell the changes after they joined.
We have Wifi, needed for my sister's work, at first it's just the whole family where connected. March, when a running for Mayor announces that he will held a Mobile Legend Tournament in our municipality, my sister let them connect in our wifi.
Looking at the cash prize, they agreed to joined without hesitation. After all, there's no harm in trying, either they win or lose. They also all agreed because it's their favorite mobile game. They told us that before, just to game MLBB (Mobile Legend:Bang Bang) they went to rice fields for better internet connection/signal. As you know if you lived in province you need to get used of poor internet reception. They stayed in rice fields day and night, rain or shine. There pockets are emptied for buying loads and to tell you most of them are students. They're still under the support of their parents.
From that point on, they started to practiced. Everyday, they visits our home. They practiced day and night, and often times day stayed 'till next morning. Don't worry, they went after lunch or around 2 in the afternoon and went back home in 6 pm for their dinner and after an hour or two they'll came back again. That became their daily routine since then.
We got ahead of our mind. We talked and planned that if they win we will go to Punta Almara (the resort where @sc visited last week) to celebrate their victory. Even their parents supported them and wish them luck. Saying that whether their win or lose we will still going to Punta Almara. Everyone become eager to practiced and played. Seeing them playing makes me want to play too, so I downloaded the game and played too. When I started playing, I now understand why everyone are hook in Mobile Legends, it's fun playing that game. I'm not expert but I say that the graphics are good and the heroes are all beautiful and amazing.
What's good about them is that before playing they make sure to do their responsibilities at home and also balance their time. Before playing they do their modules, cleaned the house and etc. That's why their parents are not worried about them. I heard some of them are talking how hard their modules are, if they already submitted. They also talked and compared their grades. I've heard that they've got an average grade of 90.
If you think they continuously playing, no they're not. Of course they also get sick playing mobile games. To lessen their boredom, they will watched tiktok videos or in facebook.
Seeing them spending their time in tiktok and facebook, I told them that they're spending their time worthless. That they can't earn money just watching. I asked them if they want to earn money. They asked how, so I told them about noise.cash. To satisfied their curiosity they asked how they can earn in noise. I simply told them that they should treat noise.cash as social media account. They can share anything they want(I do make sure they read and abide the rules before posting).
Their noise cash journey started. Most of them registered and explore. But after sometime, some of them stopped. They are happy every time they received tip from other users. They also earned money and stored their earnings in their coins.ph wallet. They can now support their needs in load for their mobile phones.
If you will noticed in the photo above, they're using/holding their phone most of the time in landscape. Their faces are serious that you can't even talked to them properly.
See the difference? They are using/holding their phone in portrait. You can see how happy they are if they received tip and a heart from other users.
I am seeing them everyday, hearing them sharing stories to one another. Before the only topic they talked about is mobile Legends...the heroes in MLBB, the new skin of the Heroes, if they win or lose in the game and if they buy/bought diamonds. Now, they rarely talked about MLBB. If they met the first thing they talked about is how much money in their wallet. Who gave tips and hearts to them and how much the subscribers they had.
Before, when they arrived in our house, they opened their MLBB immediately, now they opened first their bitcoin wallet and noise cash, shared post and comments on other users.
From MOBILE LEGENDS addicts, they are now NOISE CASH addicts.

Setting My First Goal with My BCH Earnings
Okay, this is it. This is my first step to catch up on things that I've missed. (Article: Need to Catch Up) https://read.cash/@JulyAnn/need-to-catch-up-c14faca6
You probably wondering why do I need to catch up in setting a goal with my BCH earnings? Well, most of the users have their goals about their earning, and I think, in that aspects I'm on the very end of the line. So to follow the trends, I am setting my own goal.
We all know that setting goals is very important but we don't realize it's importance as we continue to move through life.
Why do we need to set our goals?
Setting goals helps and guide our focus. It also helps us to sustain the momentum in life. Goals also align our focus and promote a self-mastery. Setting goals not only motivates us, but can also improve our mental health and our level of personal and professional success.
***"No company will be successful without setting their goals."***
Goals are divided into three types:
**Mastery Goals** - is a goal someone sets to accomplish or master something. This type of goals mostly performed by students who wanted to achieve high grades/scores.
**Performance approach goals** - is a goal where someone tries to do better than his/her peers. This type of goal could be a goal to look better.
**Performance-avoidance goals** - is a goal where someone is tries to avoid doing worse than their peers.
So you, what type of goals you set? Whatever it is, remember that goal setting helps and guide us for our self-betterment.
Setting a goals is a process that changes over time. The goals you set today may change over time. It may change but it doesn't matter as long as you continue revisit your goals and work to achieve it.
Principles we must have in setting a goal.
****Clarity**** - setting a clear and specific goals is very important. It eliminates confusion that occurs when a goal is set in a clear manner .
****Challenging goals**** - having a challenging goals stretch your mind and cause you to think bigger. It helps you build a winning mindset.
****Commitment**** - it is also important, cause is you don't commit with your goals it is less likely to achieve it.
****Feedback**** - helps you know if you are doing right and how you are doing.
Knowing these principles helps us more in setting our goals. It's like a draft of what we need to do.
I am reminded of @Yen . She posted on noise.cash that she have a goal for her birthday cake. Her goal shows the said principle above so I am sure she can achieve it.
I am also inspired by @Zhyne06 . She posted the article A gift for Thy Self, where she shared her earnings for two months and how she spent it. She bought things for her baby and of course for herself. That make me think why not set a goal for something I want to do. Set a goal on how my earnings will be spent. https://read.cash/@Zhyne06/a-gift-for-thy-self-8cd5566f#comment-92159746
**Here's my goal for my BCH earnings in read.cash and noise.cash...**
Since my earnings are not yet that stable and high compared to others, I will set a goal which is likely achievable, I guess?
For my read cash earnings I will save it to buy tiles for our sink.
As for my noise.cash earnings I will buy this for my parents who are living in the mountain.
They have electricity there, but I am buying this in case of emergency, like power interruption or blackout.
I don't how long it takes me to earn and save to buy this so I am taking my first step. Hope it won't take months.🙏
Currently, I have $13 in my bitcoin wallet.
That's what I've earned all-in-all in read.cash and noise.cash. For the start of my goals, I will transfer it in coins.ph and start saving for my goals. I will also add another wallet to separate my earnings in both site.
So everyone, wish me luck. 😊
The Benefits of Washing the Dishes
I am busy scrolling in facebook when I suddenly stop because of this video. It happened to droped by in my wall because my followed page share it. See this link:https://fb.watch/5hLGJAD-w4/
He is a Filipino Vlogger, maybe he just starting in vlogging. I didn't visit his profile/page yet 'cause I suddenly think of an article to write. I am afraid I will eventually forget it if I didn't start typing. Thanks to him, I came up with this article.
According to the video, washing the dishes is the most challenging household chores in the world. You'll dealing with grease, and mosquitoes and also it's sad. Because the children are the one doing the chores and yet mother's are getting the credits like in commercial. I've heard of my friends say this too, so I find the video interesting and funny so I continue watching.
Another thing that mention in the video is that washing dishes can leads to a fight. A man was stabbed using an icepick by his nephew just he didn't wash the dishes. I never imagined that washing the dishes could be this serious.
One more thing that I can totally relate is that the so-called "*schedule*". In my household, we have that schedule. I am assigned washing the dishes in the morning, my sister in the afternoon, and my brother in the evening. If one failed to wash the dishes in their assigned schedule you will surely heard some chants or no one will wash it until you do it. Funny isn't it? But that's how we assigned and distribute the chores to make peace.
The purpose of the video said by the speaker is the light in the darkness that we didn't see. Washing the dishes is the time for self betterment both mentality and physically. When you are washing the dishes you don't realize you are in the real world. You don't used wifi, no facebook or any forms of social media.
Benefits of Washing the Dishes (according to the video)
We develop unconsciously the following:
**Patience** - when we are about to finish washing the dishes then suddenly someone put another dishes to wash. You will feel oretty irritated for sure, but instead of scolding the you will just let a deep sigh.
**Attention to details** - is you start to wash the dishes, you will not stop until their is a rice sticking or grease/oil on it.
**Healthy Body** - atleast one have a habit/posture while washing dishes. Some are putting their other leg on the other like doing some yoga exercise. In my case I put more weigh on the right side.
**Relieved-stress** - people who was the dishes mindfully and with all their heart and focus on the details while washing increase their feeling of inspiration by 25% and lower their nervous level by 27%.
Those are some mentioned benefits of washing the dishes.
After watching the video, I also do some research.
Washing dishes is indeed a great stress reliever. It is interesting how mundane activities in life can used to promote the mindful state and increase the overall sense of well being.
Another benefit is that people who usually wash the dishes had ***gut flora and fewer allergies***. It is based on 2015 study by 1000 Swedish children that whose parents washed dishes by hand were less likely to develop eczema, asthma and hay fever.
It also ***teaches us a Life skills***. Being able to do tasks ourself makes one self-independent and multi-talented. Also, teaching kids the value of household chores makes them understand the value of putting efforts into visible results.
See? We think a simple task don't have any effects to us, but we're wrong. Doing simple, small or big has a great impact and benefits to us. So, next time that washing the dishes falls on your lap, do it gladly and mindfully.

Credits to the owner of the video, thanks to you I learned something today.
Digital Artworks
God gifted us talents equally. Some are good in dancing, singing, writing, photography, arts and etc. Some people say that they are not good in anything, that they are just an ordinary individual without talents. Don't say that, cause everyone has. If you haven't realize your talent is, discover it. Find something you are good at. It doesn't have to be unique and special, as long as you can say that you are good, that's a talent.
As for my case, honestly I am still in the process of discovering it. ***What are the things that I am good at? What really is my talent?***
Recently I've been hook in photography. I published an article Personal Shots of Flowers and some says I have the talent in terms of photography. And awhile ago I posted in noise cash about the cloud formation and I received compliments. (You can visit this https://noise.cash/u/Jabs01) https://read.cash/@JulyAnn/personal-shots-of-flowers-70d71862
I am very thankful to him and to others who appreciate my efforts in sharing my photography. Those compliments inspired me to pursue and improve.
Any way, this article is not about me, this is about my brother's talent in arts.
He ask me a favor to create an article about his digital arts. I never thought he had that talent until I see it for myself.
Here are some of his digital arts.
Those artworks are inspired in kdramas, anime, and also based on his imagination and creativity. It takes lot of time to create it. He only uses his phone in making it. He also shares his artworks in noise cash (https://noise.cash/u/kushina).
Believe me or not, even though I am satisfied and contented with whatever my ability is, I still felt envious to people who are very talented, especially in arts. Imagine displaying your artworks in every corner of the house and hearing compliments from people who've seen it. Very satisfying!
I remembered when I was in 3rd grade, I used to draw cartoon characters and I was satisfied with the outcome. My classmates and friends said that my drawings are beautiful and I am happy about it. I dob't know what happened 'cause as I gradually growing up, that talent fades aways like a thin air. I can only draw stick figures.
Well I guess, not everyone are blessed with the same talents, but what's important is that we all have our own talent. We just need to discover and improve it.
P.S.

The State of Being Unemployed
There comes a point in our life that we will achieved what we dream. Working hard day and nights. Spending years in school to achieve our goals. We think that once we graduate and get a degree everything will be easy.
If there are students who happened to read this article and thinking the same way, start clearing that thought and change your mindset, 'cause the real battle in life starts after we graduated.
It's been 4 years since I graduated in college. After graduation, in a month I decided to find a job to help and support my family. Seeking for jobs isn't easy. Some may think that for a college graduate with a four year course, it will be a piece of cake to find a job. *No, it's not*. Yes, there are lots of companies looking for a college graduate, more of them is specifically looking for a graduate in a four year course. I passed that criteria, and that's it. Other than having a four year course graduate, some of the criteria, **I failed**. *Experience is the great hindrance*. Some companies are looking for an employee with experienced, and what about me? Who would easily hired a fresh graduate?
With a great determination and perseverance to find a job, I seek everywhere and applied. Take exams and do interviews. I actually memories their ending speech, ***"Thank you for applying we will inform you/call you."*** If you will believe with that speech, to tell you, your waiting in vain.
For a long month seeking a job, atlast I was hired, luckily.
Three months of training really drained me, but honestly at the very first month I already felt the exhaustion. I pushed myself to hold on to that job. My mind keeps on pursuing but my body is declining. Lack of sleep and I barely eat. It was so stressful. I wanted to quit, 'cause I thought that this job is not for me. Before I quit, I applied again and again until I find the best job I ever wanted, and so I quit.
My second job was stressful too, but I find joy everyday. I never mind the exhaustion I felt nor how hard it was. I am satisfied. Through that job, I gave support and helped my family. It was supposed to be my third year in that job, that suddenly this pandemic broke and spread. We all know it's effects on our lives. I was determined to continue my job, but unexpected thing started to arose. Because of lackdown and won't be able to go outside I felt the *pandemic blues*. I felt stressed and depressed at the same time. What's more to what I am feeling, my boss informed us that she won't be able to pay us all, that she need to reduced her employees. That leads me to a decision to dropped and quit.
If I will count the months since I became unemployed, it's exactly 9 months. My siblings and I decided to went back to province. Less case of COVID and less worries of bills to pay, in other words, less stress. So far so good, I am experiencing the life in the province again after many years. But I must say, seeking job in the province is hard. Less opportunities.
In the meantime, I'd do part time job like tutoring, and I'm also helping my parents planting some crops. I am quite contented although having a job is much different.
Some say being unemployed is better. No worries about things to do and deadlines. You hold your time. You don't rush. Just like being *SINGLE*.
**No**.
Being unemployed is prone to gossips. And that's worse.
People will deliberately judge you without even thinking of the current situation. You will continue hearing words of mockery and judgement. You will be compared endlessly to someone. And you know what's even worse? Your family will be their subject of gossip especially your parents.
*"She graduated in college and with a license and yet, unemployed?!*
*"Her mother has a lot of debt."*
Hearing those words repeatedly is very annoying and infuriates me. Infront,they act friendly towards my family but when they turned their back, they talked negatively. Indeed, planet earth is polluted with too much plastic, 'cause even human became one.
Thanks to my parents they properly taught us how to treat people... **be kind and respectful.** That's what I am doing. But honestly, I can stop myself from being irritated and angry. You can't blame me, I'm just human.
One thing I've realized, that no matter what you do or have, either you have a job or none, people will still judge you. Even if you are nice to them. Even if you treat them well. Even if you help them on times when they need help.
Well, I believe in karma.
I'll just focus on my goals and show them what I am capable of. I'll let God handle them.
Personal Shots of Flowers
I know this is a very common article and you may not find this interesting, but still I making this one.
I am not really interested in photography or taking pictures, but through this platform, that hidden interest suddenly arise.
Mobile phone for me is an object used for my entertainment, like watching videos and listening to music. I am not the type of person who wants to chat and communicate to family and friends. I often do that and to be honest, I buy load to download kdramas and music. But now that we have wifi, I think it's less than a year since I bought a load.
Never in my state of mind to used my phone for photography. Well of course I also take pictures only when needed, like during parties or capturing important events. After sharing or storing it for a month or so, I deleted it.
As I've said, read cash rose my interest in taking pictures. Read articles about photography and seeing lots of beautiful and amazing photo makes me wanna do it too, and so without noticing, I started to take pictures of everything I see. The sky and the clouds, plants and trees, and also flowers. At first I am not very detailed on how to properly take pictures, all I know is that point the camera on the subject then click, that's it. Seeing an amazing photos makes me feel envious. "How did they do that?" I mean some of the articles I've read about their photography, they said that they are not professionals, that they're only using their phones to take pictures, and some only take pictures for the sake of making or having an article, but still, how can they manage to capture it amazingly and beautifully? That's when I told myself "They are gifted with that talent." "Some are honed though their hardworks and efforts." And so, as a comforting words to myself I said, "I will also improve in time, like others."
I continue taking pictures. Everytime I see something I take a shot of it. And slowly I know, I improve little by little.
I will let you judge if I, indeed make an improvement.
My favorite subject is flowers so here are my photos of different flowers.
I believed there's always a room for improvement. I am looking forward to your comments and pointers. Jope you like it.😁
Not A Newbie, A Returnee...
Okay, first and foremost, based on my title, Yes, I am not a newbie. I am an old user but stop using readcash for two months? Three months? I can't remember.
I am here in readcash from the very start. Where funds are still little, where payment is based on how many words your article is, where comments have points, your points need to convert to money first before withdrawing it, where funds increases before of the generous donors, and lots of changes happened before I left.
My friends recommended me this site and this site really helped me a lot especially at the very start of the outbreak of the pandemic. And honestly I earned a lot that I can even count how much. I want to thank my friend @esciisc for recommending me this site. I am very thankful to you my friend.
Here in read cash I've learned a lot. New information, new discoveries and of course learned some information about cryptocurrency, especially BCH. I am not a crypto enthusiast but I am happy knowing and learning about it.
I've met virtually friends like @Yen @Ruffa (I can't mention jane) @Eybyoung and more that encourage and support me in my journey here in read cash. Their encouragement and support really helped me especially in my early days here.
So far my journey was unforgettable not until the day that I received continues downvotes from some users that results negatively. And unwillingly, I left. I lost the will to write articles again and be active and so I said my goodbye.
I am not sure about the outcome of this return, but I'll make sure to enjoy again like I am a newbie. Hope I can get along with the new users and of course to the old users again.
This is me signing in. 😊
P.S
Sorry for not organize article, and please pardon some grammatical errors, this is my first time writing article again after a long time. 😁
