More Of Me: Random Questions
Hey guys! My apology for not being active for almost five days because I was so busy seeking for a job and thank goodness I was referred by my friend to a BPO Company to work as a call center agent. For now, I am waiting for a call and since I don't have much things to do and I still don't want to sleep, I'll just answer random questions from this Site.
Toggl.com https://toggl.com/blog/icebreaker-questions
Thanks @Athaliah for the idea! She mentioned in her article that this challenge was initiated by Ms @rebeysa85 and I'll give the credit to her. Thanks Ma'am.
Alright, let's get started!
To my valued sponsors, DOMO ARIGATOU❤️
Do you have any pets? What are their names?
Yes i do have one, she is a female dog and her name is YUKA I already written an article about her if you haven't read it just click this. Yuka is the sweetest fur fella we've ever had, though she is armless but our love totally completes her. Despite of being handicapped she is very smart, she can even get her towel right after she took her bath and rub herself around it then put it back on it's proper place. She love sweets and I often bought her some treats when I came home. Lastly, she is our sunshine, because she changes our mood everytime we see her, and we consider her as the joy of our family. https://read.cash/@Killua_Saturo/yuka-in-completely-adorable-2f726464
What is your favorite dessert?
Hmm, that would be "LECHE FLAN", to tell you honestly I am obsessed of that dessert. I love it's creamy and soft texture, as well as it's balance sweetness. This dessert is one of the most common and traditional Filipino desserts. It’s most commonly serve and cooked during fiestas, family celebrations or any occasions! Whenever I heard the word LECHE FLAN my tummy literally craves for it, lol I am feeling the same thing right now.
Have you ever won a contest?
Yes, me and my team won in the BATTLE OF THE BAND during our Youth Camp last 2017. We are the representatives of our church to compete for the said contest and I am the keyboardist. We played a Christian rock music and we change it's genre to reggae. We didn’t expect we would win on that time because we already knew that our performance was not as good as the others but God is really good, and receiving the victory we gave all the glory and credits to God for He is the source of our talents.
What is your favorite hobby?
My favorite hobby was playing instruments, ever since I was a kid I fell in love with music and I am so dedicated and determined to pursue my passion, so I used my talents and made it as my ministry as my way of serving the Lord. As what I have said earlier He is the owner of our skills so I have to bring back what has been given to me, because I believe that he will be more glorified and honored if I did it. That thought alone gave me satisfaction, true joy, and motivation to continue my desire as a musician.
I also written an article about my journey as a musician if you are curious about it just click This. https://read.cash/@Killua_Saturo/aspire-to-be-a-musician-ac84b8c1
Closing thoughts
I guess that would be all for tonight, It's my privilege to share another facts about me I hope you enjoyed it and if you wish to write one too make sure to tag @rebeysa85 . I am so sleepy right now and my mind was running out of words to say, so I'll stop right here. Thank you so much for reading and thanks God tomorrow is friday❤️. Goodnight everyone may God bless us all and don't forget to pray before you sleep. Love y'all.
This is Killua Saturo! Signing off 🥱.
Shalom!

If I were a Genius
`October 8, 2021`
I've finally reached a week in this platform, I may not be able to interact, read, and publish an article straight but I have the conviction that I must pursue what I have started here. Normally, even though rusty had forgotten about me, yet it didn't discourage me to write and share more of my thoughts. Indeed, @Greatwolfman is right, life is not always a bed of roses, but there's no need to worry about because every pain and uncertainties are just temporary there is always a rainbow after the rain.
I guess I'll end those dramas here, and proceed to the major point instead.
I roamed around in read.cash reading random articles and I was captivated by the prompt that was been a trendy topic in this site so I decided to write my own too.
If I were a Genius
Having a high IQ is what I dreamt since I was a kid because it is not just a mere ability to solve a variety of problems, yet it has other cognitive benefits we can guarantee from being a genius. I believe that if I were a genius human being my learning capacity would be wider than ever. Probably, I could even easily recall new words, historical events, and other pieces of information and details in just one read.
I want to be the living "JIMMY NEUTRON"
If I were a freaking genius, maybe I could excel holistically and academically. I have thought this so many times ,that If I were like JIMMY NEUTRON except his big head😅 no one wants a huge head though ahha, there will a possibility that I can create such magnificent and hightech machineries that I can use for good. If that would really happen I'll use my ability to make and invent a lot of helpful machineries, devices, equipments, and appliances through the use of technology that would greatly benefit my country which is the Philippines. I am not after of what I can earn from it, but I want to be a huge help in addressing the crisis faced by our economy through my inventions.
Perfect Score in Exam
If I was born genius, maybe there's no need to study anymore, just by looking with a certain problems and formulas I could answer the exact solution right away. Genius could possibly have a photographic memory where they can memorize anything they have read from various kinds of books just by looking through in it, and the fact is I badly want to possess that rare ability. Honestly, I am extremely lazy when it comes to studying because I dont want to be mentally distorted.
Incase you didn't know
**Photographic memory** -
Photographic memory is a term often used to describe a person who seems able to recall visual information in great detail. Just as a photograph freezes a moment in time, the implication for people thought to have photographic memory is that they can take mental snapshots and then recall these snapshots without error. However, photographic memory does not exist in this sense. SOURCE http://www.brainfacts.org/Ask-an-Expert/Is-photographic-memory-real
Smart men are attractive
They said those men who are smart are sexier than those who only looks good in their appearance. Lol, that was just a lame observation of mine. This advantage is not really my intention to be a genius lol. @Athaliah told me that she fell in love with me because I am wise and she find it cool. Am I right? @Athaliah haha just kidding.
Top Notchers has a greater job opportunities
I have a lot of acquaintances who graduated in college as a cumlaude they were so fortunate in applying their desired jobs without any hassle because their qualifications are excellent. Lucky me if I become like them, but as for me, I still believe that even if you are the smartest person in the world but if you dont have the will to take such things into action it could be worthless. "***Talo ng madiskarte and taong matalino".*** Meaning to say, strategic person are most likely to succeed than those smart people who lacks perseverance.
That would be all for today readers! Thanks for reading and if you want to join the #18 Prompt **IF I WERE, just follow the simple steps below.**

Guess the words: #Promptfactory
A pleasant evening readers!, I haven't publish an article yesterday because I was running some errands with my peers, it is just a sort of friendly bonding anyways. Lately, I observed that rusty has been not doing well, and I felt sad because I am still newbie then here's the great timing😅, i also thought that my october goals will be impossible to achieve. However, life must go on.
Tonight, I'm going to participate the said prompt that was mainly initiated by Sir @meitanteikudo and I also read a couple of articles in relation to that, so heres my entry.
Before I start, if you want to join the prompt just open this site randomwordsgenerator.com, then choose how many words you preferred to explain.
Thank you dear sponsors!
Planet
What am I supposed to say about this, hmm specifically, I am a human being living in the beautiful paradise called **Planet EARTH.** Obviously, according to science there are 8 planets in the solar system Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then followed by, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Pluto was excluded). Earth is the only planet that has life, it consists of non-living and living things, but a lot of researchers had found out that Mars shows sign of habitability, however humans cannot be able to survive for much longer time for the reason that **the surface is not hospitable to humans or most known life forms due to the radiation, greatly reduced** ****air pressure******, and an atmosphere with only 0.16% oxygen. Google.com**
Ego
I highly admit that I was driven by my ego most of the time, back then I was known of being self-centered and shows a prideful presence to whoever come across with me, I couldn't blame them because a lot of people says that the way I talk was not pleasing in their ears, but for me I was just making a joke, and acts a little bit funny yet, my bad! I didn't even thought about it, maybe I just lack sensitivity, from now on I'll be more conscious of my words and actions.
Hand
I thanked God for giving me a talented hand that could play a variety of instruments, by the way I published an article about the instruments that I play two days ago, you can check it to feed your own curiosity. I could say that my hands are a God-given gift for me because not all beings are blessed to have such talent in music, and in order to show my heartfelt gratitude to Him, I used these hands to glorify Him through giving my all to God as a musician in our church, in that way I could guarantee that God will blessed me even more in my ministry.
Limit
Everything in this world are fleeting and limited, our possessions will lasts, even our emotions will come into its limit, our life itself will end, and even our strength are limited. In short, we should not invest so much in this limited world, because God is the only one that could provide unlimited love, grace and blessings, forgiveness, and heavenly possessions. That is why we should not limit the power of God for He is the God unending possibilities.
Entry
So far, the words that I randomly chose are quiet easy for me, whoo! Thank goodness, so this is my **ENTRY**, Im sorry if it wasn't as good as the others but I put a lot of effort in writing this😁.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed reading this.
May God bless us all❤️

Aspire to be a musician
A cold and cloudy afternoon, read.cash friends! How was everybody? Did you all went to church to praise and worship our living God? You know what, the gospel that was shared by our Pastor today was indeed change my perspective of the sufficiency of God's grace and I am so happy to hear those good news, and I want to live and apply those message in my life.
Without further ado! It's my pleasure to share to you all my journey as a Musician.
My Journey as a Musician
Being a musician is not easy, it requires rhythm and a beat that is surely accurate, losing the beat ruins the entire music, it must be like a water that flows freely without any barriers. I know that most writers here in read.cash platform are not just skilled when in comes at writing articles, but I'm pretty sure that most of our creative writers here are good at playing musical instruments or musically inclined. Great! now allow me to tell you a glimpse of my story how did I became an intermediate musician, I'm not bragging about my talent so please don't be mad at me, I promise ill inspire you to learn and make you fell in love with music, I hope you'll enjoy reading my journey as a music lover and an enthusiast.
The learning process
"*Practice makes everything perfect"*
I started playing musical instruments since I was 8 years old, I am inspired by my father who was a former musician of our church. He is the one who taught me to study and love music and at the same time to see the beauty in it. Learning the patterns, understanding the chords and following the beat of the music is the most difficult stage of developing the hearing skill. Despite of the hardships, I still pursue to practice regularly, no matter how painful my fingers are, even if the tone is not accurate to hear, even if the beat gets beaten up, it did not gave me a reason to surrender because I know everyone of us has the potential to learn and we are going to unlock it if we want to, just enjoy it, learn from your mistakes and persevere.
Its been a decade since I started to play and learn music, I never thought that I would come this far, the painful struggles that holds me to quit learning the music were already unleashed. Too fortunate, I did become a wedding pianist, everytime there'll be occasions that requires a musician Ill always be there to help and play. By God's grace, some music lover parents hired me as a musical instrument teacher for their children, it gives me an ultimate joy to grab such rare and huge opportunity. I'm so grateful that I have chosen music as a part of my life, I never regreted those times that I failed and tried again, remember, if you want to shine like a gold you must be burn and be mold.
Closing thought
If you feel like you wanted to be a musician, and maybe if you already stopped learning and left the instrument you loved, I challenge you to pick it up again, clean your instrument and blow away the dusts, make it shine as on the day you first bought it. Start your day with a joyful heart together with your instrument, bring a cup of coffee and learn through the process. A true musician's heart is like a music, it never grows old.
Thank you dear sponsors🙏
I can't upload photos due to low connectivity but I will insert and edit this together with my photos later on.

Turn Off the Heat!
Hello Readers! Celebrating my 5th day in read.cash, and I am enjoying my stay here so far. I am so glad to be given appreciation from excellent writers in this site. This is the starting point of my goals for this month, anyways without any further chatting, it's my pleasure to share my experience today which is perfect for this sunny day.
Earlier this morning, we've been experiencing a very hot day, people are looking for something that is refreshing, they bought some sort of beverages to quench their thirst and others are heading up to a nearby beaches. I come up with an idea that is a bit different than theirs, how about a cold and relaxing waterfall or a river that is surrounded with trees?
Well, with that brilliant idea, I realized that there is a cooling, relaxing and stress relieving river, not too far away from our home point. The river is cold enough and would surely refresh your burning bodies, sounds unbelievable isn't it? However, before you can reach the peak of this hill where this enchanted river hides, you need to sacrifice a pitcher of sweat if only you are walking or riding a bicycle, but if you have a motorcycle or a car it will be so easy for you to get there.
**Peaky road**
Honestly, I'm not rich enough to buy highly modified motorcycles with higher CC's or liquid cooled engines whatsoever. Therefore, I used my old bicycle and immediately rushed into the refreshing paradise. Along the way, everything is like a path of trials for me, I saw big dogs barking and running after me as if they want to attack and bite my butt lol. Luckily I passed through them all like an assasin, cheers for me! But the biggest trial I ever faced along the road, is the exhausting and a leg breaking peaky road, my bicycle won't budge and make a move even if it is on it's lowest gear. Getting through the peak of struggles, I finally overcomed them all and the most awaited moment is truly in my eyes, I can see the waters shining through my face like gazing into a chest of treasures whoohoo...
**Turn on the freezer**
*Don't take it literally, because we don't have freezer though😅.*
Finally, Its time to turn off the heat and splash out the waters on the blazing embers. Afterwards, I soaked my body on the vivid flowing water, and did some stone balancing stuff, its harder than I thought, but after building the pile of stones it gives me peace of mind, and listening to the calming sound of the flapping leaves from the tall trees that dances along the wind. As the cool breeze embraces my frail body it restores all strength that I have lost. Honestly, I didnt expect that it would wipe away all my tiredness and body pains, seems like therapeutical, and I want to bring back all the glory and gratitude to our Almighty father for creating such wonderful and magnificent creations that we are witnessing every of our lives. That is why as a special creation of God, we human beings should take good care and preserved the nature because it is where we get our basic needs.
That would be all, hope you enjoyed reading my work, thank you for passing by. Comments, likes, and upvotes are very much appreciated! ❣️
May God bless us all in every aspect of our lives
`Thank you my beloved sponsors🙏`
All images are captured by yours truly.
Thank you @Bloghound for the sponsorship I appreciate it, I declare that God will give you more blessings ahead.❣️
Wow! Thank you so much @renren16 for the sponsorship, it is a great way to motivate me, God bless you Ma'am!❣️
Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It: October Goals
`October 1, 2021`
"*Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit*." –Bear Bryant
Wohoo! As October is officially upon us and most people are working on their accomplishments goals in read.cash, I find it inspiring and motivating, so I thought it would be very fitting to make a list of some of my goals, and now allow me to share it with you.
No more further blabbing, and let's get started.
Goal #1
**Publish atleast 20 articles**
Whoo! I didn't expect that I'll last 3 days in read.cash, because to tell you honestly, I find it difficult to adjust in this site and the fact is, I am not into writing actually I thought it would be easier yet as I read a variety of articles from distinguish authors I felt pressured and intimidated which lead me to think that I don't belong here in this virtual community. This time, I want to challenge myself to write atleast 20 articles within this month.
Goal #2
**More sponsors to come**
It's been a great feeling to be sponsored by other writers here in this site. First and foremost, I want to extend my warmest gratitude to my first ever sponsors @Sequoia and @Athaliah may God pour out his limitless blessings upon your lives. I will work harder and be better day by day through writing interesting and quality articles. Hopefully, before this month ends I am looking forward for new sponsors to be added in my sponsors block.
Goal #3
**Gain 30 subscribers**
As of now, I have already 13 subscribers within 3 days, I am so overwhelmed and my heart was filled with joy knowing that there are people who are willing to keep in touch with my works. It feels so right when someone is sharing their feedbacks and personal thoughts with regards to my article. I want to achieve this goal with all my might.
Goal #4
**Accumulate atleast $20 and above**
I can't deny the fact that one of my major reason why I joined this platform, is to earn money. For now, I want to challenge myself to earn beyond of my expectation, because I have faith that if it is God's will it will definitely happen. However, I need to accompany it with action and perseverance as well.
Concluding thoughts;
I know it will certainly happen if I submit all of those goals of mine to God because He is the owner of everything, and He is the only who could make everything possible. To all who's reading this may you add this desires of mine in your prayers, that means a lot to me already.

Yuka: In-completely Adorable
“*A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.*”
– Josh Billings (humourist)
Loves you more than he loves himself, words that pierce through heart and soul when you feel the essence of a dog's love and loyalty to it's beloved owner. Indeed, some dogs aren't treated equally, some are treated unpleasant and unwelcome, and some dogs are blessed enough to be loved.
Yuka our newest member of the family
It's been three months since we had this extremely adorable female dog named Yuka. Yuka was armless , she only uses her two legs to move and crawl with the support of her chest that is why as you can see in the picture her chest is reddish due to constant rubbing on the floor. She is so hyper and can even follow you while running at the same speed. We love this dog so much and treated her as a part of our family, even in napping time we put Yuka beside our bed. It sounds adorable, but Yuka is also our guardian in night time, guarding us against intruder frogs, cats, cockroaches and some biting reptiles. That is how we love Yuka and how she loves us, but there are more cute and funny things you need to know about Yuka.
Yuka's hobbies
Maybe your dog doesn't do what yuka does, Im not bragging about her skills but Yuka habitually get her own towel by her mouth and wipes herself from it right after taking a bath, rolling all over the clean cotton until she gets dry, and I find it cute. Another interesting fact about Yuka, was we did not even teach her to do that, maybe she is just a great observant and an intelligent dog, learning it all by herself.
She loves sweets
Yuka loves to eat sweets, biscuits and macaroni. Whenever I came home, I always brought some treats for her to eat, as expected she got overjoyed and later on she felt sad when there's no more left.
Insect hunter
Catching pests is one of the common duties of Yuka. Though she is kinda afraid of some insects like a male beetle due to its spiky limbs and horns, she still get rid of rats and frogs that enters the door. Ducks and Chickens are also her enemy when those intruders attempt to step on the house. Funny right? Just imagine it.
Yuka's Behaviors
**Scaredy Dog**
Well, Im going to scare you this time about Yuka's dark and dreadful attitude, Just Kidding lol!. How about a visitor entering the house? Do you ever wonder what Yuka would do? Well, running away is all she can do, sounds funny but she is just a scaredy dog, but in a few moments she gets back to sniff your toes and then there you go, welcome to my friend's list.
**Obedient**
I find it annoying if she jump into my own bed, because her furs would stick into my bed sheets. Good thing, she is surprisingly obedient if I told her to get out of the bed and without any hesitation she will distance herself and sleep on the other side instead.
**Hates taking a bath**
Taking a bath is what she hates to do. I am the one who bathes him everyday, everytime I tease her and said "**Yuka Ligo na**" in english "*Yuka lets take a bath now*" she suddenly becomes aggressive then runs and hid herself under the chair.
**She loves my girlfriend over me 😅, How come?**
I could say that she loves my girlfriend over me because everytime me and@Athaliah arrive in our house, Yuka just ignore me and run after my gf instead. I just thought that since Yuka is a female maybe she preferred girls over guys. Tsk, what a traitor lol.
That's all, hope you had a great thursday everyone, thanks for dropping by.
Thank you my first sponsor @Sequoia more blessings to come!

Escaped from Death
`September 29, 2021`
I've read a lot of near to death experiences from distinguish authors here in read.cash, and it urges me to write and share my own close call encounters too, which leaves me and my elder brother huge trauma, and somehow taught me a significant lesson.
Before anything else, I am deeply grateful to those kind and awesome writers who gave me a warm welcome. I also appreciate those who commented and upvoted my recent article. It drives me to keep on going and it really inspires me to start my journey here in this amazing platform.
_____________________________
The Accident (before)
`December, 2018`
4 years ago, I was involved in a motorcycle accident with my elder brother. Before it happened, my mother told us to do the household chores, we washed all the dishes and cleaned the entire house. After a short break, my mom ordered us to buy some groceries in the local market. I noticed that my elder brother was whining and wearing a grumpy face. I don't know why but maybe he was just too exhausted or his laziness hits him. I just ignored him because he acts that way most of the time.
A glimpse of my elder brother's personality
My brother was melancholic, he has poor social skills, and prefers to be alone at some point. He is also a straightforward guy and has trust issues. Despite of those traits, he is a man of faith and a good son.
I regret that I let him drive on my behalf
On that moment, I let him drive to lighten up his mood. He got elated and began driving, and in the middle of the ride, a rider overtakes us in a harsh speed, and suddenly triggered my brother's ego. Unhesitatingly, he throttle up the motorcycle so fast to catch up with the rider and surprisingly we did overtaken him. As we continue racing in a speed of **140 kph (kilometer per hour)**, a car suddenly overtake from the opposite lane and occupied our lane it almost hit us, but luckily we evaded the rushing car and immediately switched lane. We still continue the race fearlessly, even we're almost caught by accident.
The Crash
In a long road of racing, we are finally almost in our destination, but unfortunately someone just crossed in the school zone without looking carefully on the road. We did everything and very best to minimize the speed just not to hit the poor person, but squeezing the brakes fully, makes our motorcycle dance in force and trumpled many times. The both of us floats in the air, and our head and face hits first on the asphalt road's surface without wearing helmet, makes our body filled with wounds. I keep on blaming him for what happened but he didn't answer any single word.
Despite of that accident, I can still testify the goodness of God in both of our lives. Even though we hit the ground with our face and head we did not get any wounds from those vital parts and it is already a wonderful miracle of God upon us. By God's grace we gained a rightful lesson to lessen our pride and value the essence of humility.
Closing thought;
I believe we're not the one who escaped the inevitable reality of death, perhaps, it is God's best way to enlighten us that our life should not be taken for granted, for we only **LIVE ONCE.**
Thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoyed reading this.

A Newbie's Self-Introduction
Hey yow! It took me a month to be fully convinced to grind in this awesome platform or blogging site. @Athaliah urges me to join and be part of the read.cash family. Honestly, I am not good at writing but I am capable of being taught and I am asking Athaliah's assistance with regards to this matter.
The truth behind my nickname
If you are wondering about my nickname "Killua_Saturo" I chose it because **Killua** Zoldyck from (Hunter X Hunter) and Goju **Saturo** from (Jujutsu Kaisen) are both my favorite badass anime characters, because they are extremely cool and even though they are not the main character yet they definitely stole the show and became more popular than the MC.
How do I see myself
I am 21 years of age, the second son/child among three siblings. A man who was blessed with talent and well-versed in terms of music. I can sing, i can play a variety of instruments such as guitar, keyboard, bass, and drum and those capabilities was a gift from God that I cherish and I want to use it to glorify Him. My height is 5'10 and I have a dark skin complexion. I perceived myself as an **introvert person** and a **frustrated joker** you know why? Because a lot of people are confuse about my jokes and sometimes they take it seriously.
Hobbies
I am an avid fan of anime, a mobile legend player, a basketball player and a motorcycle trailer/rider as well. I love to eat exotic food. I am a cat lover. I love greeny stuff that is why I like to plant trees and other plants in our backyard since then.
THE WORDS THAT I HOLD ON TO
"*Give unhesitatingly and expect greater things from above."*
This is my powerful principle that I always live on. I believe in the act of giving without expecting any return or condition, because the more you give the more you receive, and God loves a cheerful giver.
What people thought about me
Those people who didn't know me yet would call me blunt and unapproachable at first met. I also receive some feedbacks and they somehow labeled me as a boastful and snob, its because of my aura and stature, but if you get to know me better I am indeed an opposite of it.
My greatest achievement
One of my greatest accomplishment so far was I became part of the honors list way back in high school despite of being fond of absences, and if you would ask me why, I tend to absent oftentimes it's because I am helping my parents through working to sustain our daily needs because that time we are in the midst of an extreme financial crisis, and maybe I will write an article to unravel the reasons behind it.
There you have it guys, I am having a hard time to write my first ever article in this site because I am not confident enough to share and write my personal thoughts in english lol. However, I am glad to be part of this amazing platform and I hope we could be friends. Please be free to give some suggestions so that I could learn and improve my writing skills. Thank you so much and may God bless us all.
