Wasting Food for Views
`Date: April 22, 2022 (Friday)`
How far can you go for views?
We are living in a time where people can make money simply by views from other people. The interaction and even time of watching the whole video can make them rich in a snap. Their fame could make them big time people as well.
You see, a lot of people these days, even kids become instant rich just by uploading videos on a video streaming site. When the video goes viral, it could be a great opportunity for them to grow their riches.
Just so you know they are also called as vloggers. Each vlogger who uploaded their videos has their own content. Some do food vlogs which they share anything about food; fitness vlogs which mostly is about exercising or how to take good care of our body and health; beauty vlogs wherein people will post anything about makeup, skincare, and name a few; lifestyle vlogs wherein people will post anything about their lifestyle; and so on. There are a lot of people who try all their mighy in order to earn and to be famous from uploading videos.
However, not all the videos that were being shared in this video streaming site contains useful or entertaining contents. Some posts disturbing videos that still entertain people. One of which is the video that I saw yesterday. I saw a vlogger who posts videos in his channel about wasting food. He posts videos wherein he prepares food in large amount. Howbeit, he's not preparing them in an organized manner. He prepares them in a harsh manner and in a way of wasting food. I have found his content so distrurbing that I can't bear to watch it until the end. The sad thing is that he has 20+ million subscribers, so we can presume that a lot of people find his video entertaining even if he was wasting so much of food.
Just so you know, as I was watching the video, I remember those people who are food deprived. Those who can't eat three times a day and can't even provide for the family. I just feel sad seeing people wasting food when a lot of people are experiencing hunger all over the world. Yes, they are privilege and could buy as many food as they want. They can even buy more food and they can waste a lot of food as much as they want. But I hope they will think of those people who have nothing to eat.
Not to mention, I have no grudge towards him or any people who do the same thing, but I hope they will reflect on their ways. Yes, they have built their names by doing such contents, but I hope they will be able to realize that their content is not entertaining to everyone. I know that they can't please everyone, but being mindful of their ways could help a lot.
Closing Thoughts
People will do everything to earn money, but I hope everyone should be mindful of everyone they posts online as not everything is entertaining for everyone.

What You Need to Know About Overthinking
`Date: April 20, 2022 (Wednesday)`
Have you ever tried making scenarios in your head that are almost impossible to happen, but you still love to indulge to them? Or even thinking too much on something repeatedly? Have you ever tried being drowned by your own thoughts?
In that case, then you're most likely overthinking. Now, what is overthinking and how to overcome it?
*Overthinking means thinking so much about something over and over again. Overthinking may cause problems not just in yourself, but could also be a factor of affecting the people around you. With overthinking, you will feel stress, sad, and worried. The positivity that surrounds you will surely fade away when overthinking comes in the frame.*
How to Cope Up With Overthinking?
I was once an overthinker. I used to think of things to much and it ended up making me feel anxious or worried on things. I even made a lot of scenarios in my head that hurts my feelings. With that, I'd love to give helpful ways on how to cope up with overthinking in someway.
Acknowledge That You Are Overthinking
Try to monitor your thoughts and when you notice that you are overthinking, acknowledge it. Just so you know when you acknowledge that you are overthinking, your thoughts will get distracted.
Pray
Take some time to pray and communicate with God. Share to Him all your worries in life. Talk to Him and you will find light.
Inhale and Exhale
When you realize that you're already overthinking, take some time to inhale and exhale. It's like inhaling positivity and exhaling negativity. Doing such will help.
Make Yourself Busy
If you're a homebody person, try to make yourself busy like cleaning the house or making some DIY stuff. It will help to shift your mind to the things you're doing. You can also hangout with your friends: laugh with them, make some memories together and many more. Have fun! Don't stick yourself on that overthinking habit.
Sleep Early
It is really important to sleep early because aside from it is good to your health, it can also help you to prevent from overthinking. You know, usually negative thoughts occur during midnight So, sleeping early could help. If you can't sleep early, force yourself to sleep early. Set aside your phone/laptop/tablet, drink one glass of milk, turn off the lights and sleep comfortably. And remember, when you're about to sleep, stop making scenarios and sleep tight.
Focus On The Present
It is essential to focus on the present. What we do in the present will affect out future. Stop ovethinking about anything in your life such as things that might happen in the future. Stop indulging on negativity as the one who will get affected by it is still you.
Accept That You Can't Change Something in the Past
Sometimes, we overthink of things because of what happened in the past. In someway, we wanted to change them especially that they have affected your life these days. Howbeit, always remember that everything that happens in the past must stay in the past. You can't time travel and make things right. Accept your mistakes and regret. In the end, those mistakes will become your lessons in life. Accept those mistakes and try to lessen the what if thoughts.
You see, if you want to cope up with your overthinking habit, take an action now before it's too late. Try to live a positive life. Don't make yourself being stressed by your own thoughts. Focus on the present and believe that positive things will happen. Trust God and have faith in Him.

Magic Lamp's Ability of Granting Wishes
`Date: April 19, 2022 (Tuesday)`
If you ever came across a magic lamp, what are the three wishes that you would like to be granted?
Ever since I was young, I love watching Disney movies. I find them so entertaining especially that the movies have great animations and even wonderful songs. I also love watching them together with my cousins while eating our favorite snacks and drinking our favorite soda. Not to mention, we were scolded everytime we do this though as our parents didn't want us to eat unhealthy snacks. I don't know why, but unhealthy snacks were our bestfriends back then.
Anyway, I have seen a lot of great movies from Disney. I even hope that I will be like them. Like "The Little Mermaid", how I wish I were a mermaid. If Ariel wanted to be a human, then on my part, I want to be a mermaid. I want to explore the depths of the sea and explore the mysteries of the ocean. I also want to swim in the ocean and meet a lot of sea creatures. I only want to have some fun under the sea. I also want to experience how it feels like to breath and speak underwater. Even discover a lot of features under the sea. I can't help but feel in awe everytime I thought of these things way back when I was young. You see, my imagination just wander from one place to another.
Needless to say, I have seen another Disney movie that truly captured my heart. As a little kid who have seen it, I have this hope in my heart that I find something magical like it that will grant me wishes. From here, you might know what movie I'm referring to. You may have something in mind to what Disney movie has the ability to grant wishes, and you're right, it's Aladdin. To those who are not familiar, Aladdin is an animated movie from Disney and was released last 1992. Actually there's a live action of this movie which was released last 2019. Both of them are great to watch. Even if the animated movie seems so old to think about since it was released on the 90's, but it's still great to watch.
What I Love About the Movie- Aladdin
There are a lot of things that I love about the movie. First thing that made me love about Aladdin was its **magic carpet.** When I first saw the movie, I was first astounded with the magic that the flying carpet holds. How I wish that I will be able to ride that magic carpet and feel free to roam the world anytime and anywhere. How I wish that I no longer have to ride the airplane to go to far places as I have my flying carpet with me.
Just so you know, after the song **"A Whole New World"** was being sung, I instantly love the song as well. That's the next thing that I love about Aladdin. I even enjoyed singing it together with my cousins. We were having a great time humming the song, even if the lyrics that we are singing were not the exact, but we still love singing it though.
Last but not the least, I also got hooked on the **magic lamp** which is the main thing in the movie. The magic lamp that if being rubbed, a genie will come out and grant three wishes. Isn't it amazing that a genie would grant any of your heart's desires as long as it will not harm yourself or even others? I find it exciting, really.
If the Magic Lamp was Real, The Three Wishes that I Wanted to be Granted
One of my dreams which I know would only happen in my wildest dream, but still I find exciting is finding a magic lamp somewhere. A magic lamp wherein a genie will be summoned and grant me three wishes. How heartwarming feeling it would be to experience something that magical. I still can't imagine if I was Aladdin who witnessed such thing.
Anyway, after watching the movie Aladdin when I was young, I instantly thought of a lot of things I if ever a genie will grant three desires of my heart. Since I was still young that time, all I could think of were those material things that are expensive such as having a lot of money, nice car, and even a big house. Howbeit, now that I am a bit older, my wishes are not the same anymore. If this magic lamp is true and if I will be granted three wishes, my wishes are not just for myself, but for my loved ones around me and even for the world. Especially during this time that we are having today, a lot of chaos here and there, it's never-ending. Some countries are having war, the prices of the goods become too pricey, but the work renumeration is still the same, and a lot of issues to tackle.
With that in mind, I have come up with three wishes that I wish for this world. Three wishes that will be for the betterment of everyone.
**World Peace**
**Save Mother Earth**
**Better Way of Living for People**
These three wishes are already easy to understand. I wanted these points to be granted as these are the things that our world needs these days.
Closing Thoughts
If only each one of us has our own genie that could grant us wishes in a snap, I wonder how this world would look like. Howbeit, even though we don't have our magic lamp, even our own genie, we have our own God who will never leave us behind; a God that cares, and a God who will love us even if we are sinful. We have to trust Him and His ways because in the end, He knows what's best for us.

Goosebumps: No Time for Goodbye
`Date: April 18, 2022 (Monday)`
How would you feel if you wake up one day and you realize that your family members have disappeared without any trace?
Way back when I was still studying in a university, our professor told us to read a book about any topic and we will make a book report about it. I admit, the time I heard about that task, I was not that excited to do it as I was not fond of reading books. Whenever I try to read even the first page of any book, I suddenly get so sleepy that I want to end my reading sessions and take a nap instead. That activity was indeed challenging for me. The first challenge was looking for the right book that my soul will love. The next challenge was how will I insert reading the book amidst my busy schedule as a students. And last but not the list, how am I going to come up with a 10 pages book report as what our professor have told us. I just wanted to cry that time because a lot of tasks were piled in front of me and I don't know what to start. I end up feeling hopeless.
However, as I started to read the book that I chose, I suddenly got hooked to it and got motivated it in someway. Looking back, I got my book from a dollar bookstore. I saw the book on the right side of the bookshelf; almost not visible to the audience. Since I was able to find the coverpage of the book attractive, I tried to read the first part of it. But after reading the overview on what the book was all about I got so attached with the book and I wanted to finish it in no time. With that, I bought the book for only one dollar. I was so happy actually that I finally got the book that I will get motivated to read.
The title of the book is **"No Time for Goodbye".** It's a **bestselling book by Linwood Barclay.** It's a thriller novel that will give anyone goosebumps to those who will read it. The story has a lot of twist that made me want to read it even more.
Just imagine...
*You are a 14-year old girl who wake up one morning and the house seems so empty. You try to walk to the kitchen to check if your mother was there, but she's not. Everything in the house is organized as usual. No sign of any violence that happened, but your family members are not there. All you could think of is something happened that night before you go to bed. And the rest is an unsolved mystery.*
This is what the main character, Cynthia, in the story has experienced. She woke up one morning and her family members were out of trace. She grew up not knowing what happened, even the police have no clue and can't find a trace on what really happened.
After 25 years, Cynthia already got married to Terence, a high school teacher. They have a beautiful daughter named Grace, an 8-year old little girl. Needless to say, there was a time when Cynthia became a guest in a reality show, " The deadline", where they covered unsolved mysteries. After that guesting, Cynthia has received weird text messages and strange phone calls from people. She has a strong feeling that after the guesting, someone is following her. From that moment, there are events in the house that secretly shows hints about the truth and it seems like someone is just around her who knows the answer to what happened 25 years ago.
Lesson Learned from the Book
I have learned that it is important to stand firm on what you believe in, don’t lose hope and never give up. Just like on Cynthia’s situation, she believes that even though 25 years has passed since her parents disappeared without a trace, still she didn’t lose hope that one day, she will find an answer to the questions wandering around her head on how and why her parents vanished. I have also learned that it is important to just ignore the people who judge you since the one who will never judge you is only you.
My Say about the Book
As much as I wanted to spoil everyone on what happened in the story, but I don't want to since you might get interested to read it, atleast you will still get excited to read every page as you are not being spoiled by this article. If you can have a copy of it, much better as this book is truly a book worth reading for.
Not to mention, the book is a thriller novel with full of suspense events and that makes it more interesting. It has much twist and turns which makes it breathtaking. It's a page turner and everyone would get so addicted to it for sure. Until now, I still can't get over on the happenings on every chapter.
If only a movie will be released with this book as an inspiration. If that happens, I'll surely watch the movie or find a copy of it.
Indeed, "No Time for Goodbye" is a book worth-reading!

A Tour in Switzerland for Free
`Date: April 17, 2022 (Sunday)`
Traveling places is sure fun. From it, we will be able to explore different places and unwind at the same time. We will be able to get in awe on how wonderful the sceneries we could witness as travel. With that, I suddenly miss traveling. I miss the feeling of riding a bus, a ship, or even a plane. From riding the vehicle to reaching the destination and everything in between, I surely can't help but love the sense of traveling.
Not to mention, I have a lot of places in mind that I want to visit someday. I truly desire to visit them even just once. For now, I know it's still hard to visit those places. Aside from the thought that COVID-19 is still around the corners, I still don't have the money and the time to visit my dream places. I still need to save money for me to travel them. I know, one day, the out of reach places will be reached as long as I continue to be persistent with this goal and determined to reach it soon.
One of the places that I long to visit one day is Switzerland. I never thought of visiting this country before, but I saw a lot of jawdropping videos showing how wonderful Switzerland is. The ambiance of the surroundings is so peaceful and I presume I could find serenity if I visit there. Needless to say, I'm just grateful that in someway, I was able to have a tour of Switzerland for free and I'll forever be grateful for knowing it.
Switzerland Tour for Free
Back when I was still working in a private company last 2018, we knew about traveling to different places for free. Well, not to travel there in person, but in a virtual screen. If you're familiar with **Google Maps,** then you know what I mean. We can actually go over with the route in maps and see places. There's actually a feature in maps that's called **Street View.** Through that feature, it's like we're traveling on the road. Though the places was not updated to the present time, but it's fine though as we will still be able to see the place like in person. It's so jawdropping how smart the people behind it to come up with this kind of feature.
Here's the tour that I had earlier:
Since I don't know any place in Switzerland, I just searched for a place around it. With that, I choose the Ski and Snowboard School since it has street view.
I then clicked the small picture below to start the street view and explore. I then click and move the blue line route to move to other locations.
What I was truly astounded with in this place is that it has a heartwarming view. This was the place that I saw in a social media site. I saw video of this and from that, I started to fall inlove with Switzerland.
Just look how heartwarming this view is. The houses reminds me of the village life that I always wanted to experience. Whenever I see sceneries like this, it takes me back to the time of the unknown. It seems like I have lived in this place before, but I can't seem to remember when. There's a longing in my heart to see this view again even if I haven't visited such place before.
Even if I'm only looking at the mountains, I could feel the cool breeze of the air. I could hear the birds singing in glee and I could feel how wondeful it is to be at place and embrace the living there.
What made me amazed by the place even moer is that, it has an attractive falls, the one that you see above. How wonderful it is to witness such view.
Imagine riding a car with this view, I know for sure that it's a wonderful feeling.
You see, I still have a lot of places to share in Switzerland that I discovered earlier such as their malls, cafes and even restaurants, but I'd love to focus on this heartwarming sceneries.
Closing Thoughts
With the advancement of our technology nowadays, it's truly jawdropping to note that we can visit other countries for free using certain apps like Google Maps even if they're not in person. The thought that we can freely see the street view around place and even visit our dream destinations for free, it's such a happy feeling. You see, it's indeed heartwarming to see it from a picture, how much more if we will be able to see it in person.
Just so you know I am hopeful. I am hopeful that my gains in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) could be the key for me to travel my dream destinations like Switzerland. I am hopeful that my baby steps around here could lead into something big soon.
Prehaps, for now, I'll continue to work hard around the platform and continue supporting BCH. It may still blurry these days especially since the market is still on the dip, but who knows, one day, the value will go to the moon, and our hearts will truly be glad. From that, we can treat ourselves with whatever our hearts' desires. Nothing is impossible if we have the courage to believe that one day it will come to reality.

To my dearest friend @qheer92 , I'm grateful for the generosity and the support you showed to me. It may be quite late to thank you, but just so you know, I appreciate it a lot.
Sense of Smell and Taste Lost for Weeks
`Date: April 16, 2022 (Saturday)`
Who would have thought that I will be able to experience losing my sense of smell and taste for weeks?
It all started on the last week of July 2021. It kept on raining in our place that time and a lot of people are getting sick. I admit, during those times I tend to get so lazy drinking my vitamins and even eating healthy food. I can't even drink enough liquids for a day. Like I was in a total mess during those days. But even if I wasn't taking care of my body those times, my days still went smoothly. Until one day, I realized that something was different with my sense of smell.
There was one time when I sprayed perfume around my body, but instead of smelling so good, I can't seem to smell my perfume that much. I even sprayed more of it, but I still can't appreciate my perfume. I just let it passed though. The same day, I also have eaten my favorite pasta, but I can't seem to love what I was eating as I can't taste the flavor of the pasta like what it used to. From that, I realized that something was different. Not to mention, I have no colds, cough, or even fever. I was feeling just fine that time, but I don't know why I have experienced something.
The night during that day, I tried smelling the stuffs in my room such as perfume, lotion, powder, make up and name a few. I even tasted some food and even seasoning just to check if I was still fine. However, all the things that I smelled and even the food I tasted, I can't seem to grasp their authentic smell and taste. With that, I started to get alarmed. Like how come I wasn't able to smell and taste anything when I'm feeling good in the first place. I feel like crying because maybe I got COVID-19 in someway. I don't know what to do.
Since I'm concerned with my health and also to the people around me, I went to the testing center for COVID and got tested just to check if I have COVID-19 or not. The people in the center told me to get isolated while the result was not yet release. I then agree to what they told me and got quarantined.
After 4 days, I got a text from the center and told me that I was tested NEGATIVE for Covid-19. Of course I was so happy because in my mind, I thought the virus got in me already. But then, I still continued my quarantine days for 14 days and just went out after that.
Not to mention, I also searched in the internet why I lost my smell and taste even if I was negative in COVID-19 and some of the articles there stated that if it's not COVID it may be a common cold, sinus infection, flu, and even congestion that may just go away once the illness will be gone as well. According to my research, when the sense of smell was lost, the sense of taste will then follow. It's being said that the two are connected in someway.
How My Days Went
I admit, even after I knew that I was COVID-19 negative, living my days without a sense of smell and taste was way too hard. Here are some of my struggles:
**I Can't Enjoy Anything in Terms of Smelling or Eating**
It's hard when you can't smell anything. I can testify that as I have been there. Living the day without a sense of smell was so weird and I can't help but pray that my senses will be back to normal. I can't seem to enjoy everything that I smell as something's like blocking my nose to avoid smelling.
Just so you know, whenever I drink my coffee, I usually love to smell it first before drinking. It's my one way of enjoying coffee and it gives me peace of mind everytime. Howbeit, that time, I can't enjoy my coffee that much as I can't even smell anything.
Anyway, the moment I lost my sense of smell, the lost of sense of taste followed. Who loves to eat without tasting anything? No one, right? It was like a punishment to me not being able to taste anything. I can't enjoy anything that I eat. Even if I was so hungry, I got full, but not enjoying my food. That's how challenging those weeks were for me.
**A Lot of What If's**
One of my struggles as well during those times was the thought that my sense of smell and taste might never go back to normal. I was too afraid that I will lost them forever, I will surely miss everything that I smelled or tasted so far if that happens. I was too paranoid that time that each day that I noticed that things were still not fine, I got sad and down.
What Did I Do to Feel Better
Since I was alarmed on my situation, I started to take care of myself that time. I started to drink vitamins again, drink 8 glasses of water everyday, had some exercise, and even ate a lot of fruits and vegetables. I did all of those things to feel better. I even sleep early and I had long hours of sleep those times. I did all the necessary things to be healthy in hopes that I will feel better and my sense of smell and taste will be back to normal.
When the quarantine ended, I noticed that my sense of smell and taste was started to be back to its normal state, but not really. I can just see a difference. Until the 20th day, I could say that I finally regained my senses. I was so happy that time that I even jumped out of joy.
Closing Thoughts
That experience of mine has taught me that it's indeed important to take care of ourselves than wait for us to feel any illness before taking an action. It's important to do the things that are good for our body as much as possible. As what they say, prevention is better than cure. You see, I'm just glad that what I have experienced before was not COVID.
Anyway, let's all take care of ourselves. Let's not take our health for granted especially amidst pandemic. May this experience of mine become a lesson to you as well.

Scientists' Plea: Let the Earth Breathe
`Date: April 15, 2022 (Friday)`
It was all over the news and even in social media yesterday that there were scientists who have been arrested after speaking up in Chase Bank about Fossil Fuels and demanding climate action. The said event happened last April 6, 2022 at Chase Bank, Los Angeles. One of the scientists who voiced out his plea is Peter Kalmus, a NASA climate scientist. They started the movement to let the people know that there is a demand for climate revolution as our eath is greatly affected with a lot of environmental problems.
The scientists have chained themselves in Chase Bank , since the bank is one of the huge sponsors of the fossil fuel projects. They wanted to cease Chase Bank in funding the fossil fuel projects to help the Earth breathe and save the earth.
What are fossil fuels and what are their link to climate change?
***Fossil Fuels are formed from the decomposition of buried organisms that died hundreds and even millions of years ago that are carbon-based. They are non-renewable. They create carbon-rich deposits that are burned and extracted for energy. Gas, Oil, and Coal are three types of fossil fuels.***
When these fossil fuels are burned, they produce large amounts of carbon dioxide in the air. Not to mention, Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that if traps in our Earth's atmosphere, it could harm our Earth in so much ways. It traps heat in the atmosphere that will then cause for global warming. With that, global warming could affect every aspects of theEarth. It could affect our environment, the living species in it including us, humans.
The Scientists' Concern
The scientists have done everything but it seems like the government from all over the country are not cooperating with their plea, and with that they have made their move towards saving the environment, their chance to tell the public about the problem even if there are risks of being arrested from it. Not only the scientists from Los Angeles have made a move to heal the Earth, but a thousand of scientists from different countries as well.
Just so you know, last April 6, 2022, over 1000 scientists from 26 countries have made made a mark in expressing to the public about their concern that the we only have few years to live in this world; three to five years only if these fossil fuels activity will not be ceased. They are asking the banks who are supporting the fossil fuel projects to stop financing these projects. They also warned the public that if these banks will continue to finance these projects, a big catastrophe will be embarked by the human beings in no time.
These scientists are not only looking after themselves, but to all of the human beings in this world. They care for the children and for the future generation to come. If the climate change will continue to pile into a bigger problem, humans may not be able to live a wonderful environment anymore. Humans will be able to live a polluted earth that would be harmful for the human to live. The scientists care for all the human beings, they want to save the earth in someway so that it wouldn't be hard for each one to live their everyday life. If only the people would listen.
The Aftermath
After the scientists initiated the move and after that news of them being arrested for speaking up about the environment have been spread, it becomes trending worldwide. A lot of people have made their move as well in saving the environment. They shared information about the problem of our environment these days and the move that humans have to make to save it. The people are also concern about the info that human beings will be put to dot in 3 to 5 years. Other people have also shared suggestions to help the environement such as deleting unwanted e-mails, using EcoAsia, stop littering, plant trees and so much more.

What the scientists did may be risky in their part, but it's worth all the risks as the public have heard their plea. Let's just be hopeful that the government from all over the world will do their part in saving the environment.
Let's all remember as well that not only one or two people can benefit from this kind of move, but it can save the whole humanity. May we all do our part. Little steps in helping the environment could do so much; let the earth breathe.

The Shocking Revelation: The Guy Who Got Trish Pregnant
`Date: April 14, 2022 (Thursday)`
Yesterday, I posted a story about my tutee named Trish (pseudonym) who got pregnant at the age of 13: She's 13 and Pregnant. Trish is 4 months pregnant, but her parents are still unaware of her situation. Her family members just thought that she's getting fat and never in their mind that Trish is pregnant. After I knew about her situation, I gave her a chance to inform her family members about it, but if she will not be able to inform them, I will help her inform them. https://read.cash/@LeticiaFelize/shes-13-and-pregnant-848281b9
Then yesterday, I chatted Trish if she was able to inform her parents about her situation. But then, she told me that she's still scared and she can't find the right timing to inform them about her situation. Since I care for her as a tutor and as a friend, I volunteered to visit their house to help her regarding this matter. She was hesitant to agree to me at first, but later on, she got the courage to let me in and help her with her situation.
At one in the afternoon, I went to their house. It was my first time to visit their place, so I almost got lost. Good thing that the people around there were friendly and approachable and they helped me find Trish's house. If only you knew how nervous I was to face her parents carrying the news that I need to unload. I keep on praying that God will guide me with the decision that I was about to make which is to inform them about the situation. My hands were shaking and I got cold sweats. Howbeit, what I think about at that moment is to let them know, because that's the best thing to do in the first place.
As I arrived at their house, I saw Trish and her sister. I asked permission if I could talk to her and her parents. As we enter the house, she told me that her parents were still working, but it's not that far in their place. I asked her if she could tell her parents to come over for a moment as I have an important matter to discuss with. Good thing the sister agreed and called her parents. The parents also told the sister that they will come in a few minutes.
Almost 10 minutes have passed and finally her parents arrived. At that time, my heart was pounding so hard inside, but I look calm on the outside. I don't know how to start my speech.
As the parents asked what's the matter. I told them about the sessions first. I informed them that Trish was not joining our tutorial sessions anymore and with that I kept on asking Trish what's the matter through a social media app. Then just the other day, Trish went to our place and explained to me personally what happened to her.
***"As a tutor, I care so much with my tutee's situation, and since you're her parents, I'm also concerned that you need to know her situation. To be honest, I gave her a chance to tell to you her situation, but since she can't do it, I'm here to help her inform you about it. ", I said.***
***"What's the problem then?", her mother asked.***
***" I know this is a shocking news for you, but you need to know this. She's pregnant", I said.***
The silence was heard for about 3-5 seconds then the mother screamed to Trish's face.
***"You're pregnant?!", her mother screamed as she was talking to Trish. " After all the things that we have done to you, you're pregnant?! How could you do this to us Trish? You're just 13. We gave you everthing you need. When you ask for money, I gave you money. You don't even work hard around the house. You're like a princess in this house, but that's what you will give to me in return?! Trish how could you do this to us?!"***
Her mother was crying so hard after knowing the situation. She have said bad words to Trish out of anger. She can't accept what happened to her. She almost throw the chair towards Trish, but good thing she was calmed down by her husband. On the other hand, Trish was crying so hard as well. She can't explain her side that all she could do was to cry and cry. The tension was on for the next 15 minutes.
Then as the mother asked if who is the guy who got her impregnant. Trish said that she will not tell us about the guy. She calmed down and swear to us that she will keep quiet about it. Her mother got so angry again that she's not telling us about the guy. Her mother explained to Trish that they need to know who the guy is. The guy is responsible for the baby and he need to take responsibility of the baby as well.
Almost 3o minutes has passed and Trish was still not responding to us. She's still denying who the guy is. Until her mother told her in a calm voice that they need to know. She promised that she will not make scene once the guy will be unraveled. She told us that she will remain calm and do what's needed to be done in a calm manner. But Trish was still not cooperating.
Then Trish's parents gave me a moment to talk to Trish since I was the once whom Trish told about her situation. Her mother thought that I could also be the one who can make Trish tell the truth about the guy. After a lot of time convincing Trish to tell us about the guy, Trish finally told us the guy who impregnated her and the story behind it.
What I Know About the Guy
Trish told me before when she was in our house that it all happened when they were drinking alcoholic drinks with her friends and after that her boyfriend asked her to make that thing. That's all I knew. She even told me that the guy who got her pregnant went to another place and blocked Trish in social media.
The Truth About the Guy
The truth was far cry from what I have known. Trish really twisted the story about the guy when she told me first because she's afraid that I might tell the truth to her parents. But when Trish told us the whole truth when I was at their house, I got shocked.
The guy who impregnanted Trish was a 39-year old guy. He was their neighbor, living one block away from their house. Trish said that it all happened when she visited the house of that guy because her friend Angela was there. They played Roblox all day long that time. But in the evening, the guy came and he was drunk. Trish's friend, Angela, went out that time and went to her aunt on the other block when the thing happened. To make the story short, the guy forced Trish to do the thing with him. Trish doesn't want to, but the guy kept on convincing Trish to agree, until it happened. When Trish knew that she was pregnant, she told the guy about it and just told her to abort the baby. But since Trish doesn't know what to do with it, she just zipped her mouth about her situation and even the guy who's responsible for it.
Actually, if we try to weigh Trish's situation, she got molested because it was forced. Aside from that, Trish is minor and the guy was already old enough, so there's a chance that the guy will be imprisoned for doing it. Now I get it why Trish was so afraid to tell us the truth about the guy.
After we knew about the guy, I talked to the parents and sister and they told me that they will handle the situation. They plan thoroughly their next move on this matter. Trish's mother also thank me for making an initiative to tell us about Trish's situation despite the hectic schedule that I have.
Right now, I still feel so sad for what happened to Trish. At that young age, she got pregnant because of that guy who molested her. I hope justice will be served in no time. How cruel this world is. Above all, I wish for the best for Trish and her family. I know it's still not easy for them to accept the fact, but I hope things will be iron-out in the end.

By the way, grateful to my friend @Talecharm for the generosity. I appreciate it.
She's 13 and Pregnant
`Date: April 13, 2022 (Wednesday)`
It's always been a joy in my heart to help the kids to learn the lessons that they need in this world. Amidst pandemic, I can say that it's truly hard for them to learn the nitty-gritty of the lessons especially in Mathematics during these days. With that in mind, I have tutorial session during weekends, but I only take one student because I still have things to do or things that I need to finish during the weekends.
Not to mention, I am currently tutoring Mathematics to a student in the 7th Grade. Now, let me introduce to you my tutee. I don't want to tell you her complete name but I'll just use a pseudonym for her which is "Trish". Trish is a 13 year old girl who is currently studying in a public institution. She's having a hard time in Math and with that, her mother asked me if I can help her with her Math problems. I was ecstatic to hear it as I want to help as well.
Our session went smooth for a month or two. We had a great time together as I taught her the problems that she needed to answer in Math. Needless to say, Trish is just an average student. When you tell her something about a concept in Math, she could learn it but in an average pacing. At first, she's having a hard time because the lesson is new to her, but after she learned the nitty-gritty, it becomes easy for her.
Trish is always present during the Saturday sessions. Howbeit, it all started last January when she no longer attend to our sessions. I was wondering how she was doing. With that, I chatted her in a messaging app, howbeit she just seened my chats. She's not responding to it as if there's something wrong. I was alarmed that I tried contacting her sister, but her sister was not responding to me as well. I got busy days after that and I wasn't able to update.
Then just yesterday, she went to our house. At first, I asked her what happened to her and why is she not responding to my chats. She told me that the account that I chatted was an old account. Although I have seen that she seened the message that I sent. Well, I just let it passed though. And with that, I asked her with the reason why she's not attending to the sessions anymore.
***"I am pregnant", she said.***
At that moment, I became speechless. I don't know what to say and I don't know how to respond. But what I did is I listened to her story first before coming up with an advice.
I listened to her full story. And I was a bit sad that a 13 year old, a young girl who's supposed to be schooling and learning some important lessons in school is now pregnant. She was not raped or what. They did it because they just feel like doing it.
She said that it all started when they were having drinking sessions with her friends including his boyfriend. Actually the boy is just 13 years old as well. They were having a great time drinking and when they got drunk, they did it. It didn't happened once or twice, but like five times in a row. And now, the result of their actions has bloomed already.
What saddens me more is the guy who got her pregnant transferred to another place, far away from our place. She informed the guy about the situation, but the guy just blocked her as if nothing happened.
Now, when did she realized that she was pregnant?
She told me that it was December last year when she noticed that she no longer got her period. Her friend, who is also a 13 years old girl, told her to try the pregnancy test because she might be pregnant. Her friend bought her one and she was shocked when she saw two lines from the PT. She told me that she really breakdown and regret everything that she has done, but it's too late.
But what's sadder is her parents are still unaware of her situation. She's already 4 months pregnant, but it's not that visible because she's more like a fat kid. If you're going to look at her, it seems like she's just getting fat and not pregnant. She even told me that she just eat a lot of food so that her parents will just come up with a conclusion that she's only getting fat because of eating too much.
I decided to go to their house next week and help her explain her situation to her parents. It may be so hard for her to tell the situation she's in, but I will be on her side because her parents need to know it.
Closing Thoughts
It's just sad to note that teenage pregnancy is so rampant to our world these days. It's even sad that the guys who got the girls pregnant would leave them like nothing happened, leaving the girls as single mothers. With that, it's indeed important for every parent to guide their children always. It's also important for the teens in this generation to be aware of the things that might happen if they will dive to things like that. As much as possible, the teens will be given guidance regarding this matter.
You see, it's alarming to see a 13 year old kid already carrying a big responsibility. But it's not the end of her journey though. She can still continue her studies and reach her dreams in life.

Amidst Pandemic: Things to Be Grateful For
`Date: April 12, 2022 (Tuesday)`
When COVID hit the world last 2020, a lot of things happened in a blink of an eye. From one case of COVID positive, it has boomed to thousands then to millions. A lot of people suffered. Everyone was in shocked with the fast pacing of events. The world seems like in a journey of the unknown. And never did anyone see the pandemic coming.
Life before pandemic was never perfect, but it was better. Everyone can roam around where they want to. They can travel to places without restrictions. They can enjoy spending time together with their friends without minding the thought of social distancing. They can join big events, concerts, and name a few freely. Howbeit, as COVID entered the frame, life was never the same. The new normal came in, which we tried getting used to.
Looking back, when the COVID was still fresh from each one's mind. One thing that happened is quarantine. Each family was told to stay in their house and only one or two people from the household can only go out. A lot of things from the economy was greatly affected because of it. A lot of people have lost their job because the company lessen the number of workers due to the country's situation. The mode of transportation as well as its fare was greatly affected as well. The fare have risen because that's the mandate. People have no choice but to follow what is instructed by the government. There are also restrictions from getting in from one place to another. The world looked so hopeless from that view. A lot of people were hungry and just waiting for the government to send them goods because they don't have money since they have lost their jobs. Plus the goods were so out of reach.
Those moments were one of the worst things that happened to the world so far. When we thought that things will be back to normal in just a month or two, but as the months went by, it worsens and it left each one with a sense of hopelessness that the pandemic will soon leave the world. The world was in a never-ending gloominess and it seemed like the sun will never show up in time.
Howbeit, despite all the negative things that happened because of the pandemic, there are also **things that we should be grateful for.**
Good Health
One thing that we must be grateful for amidst pandemic is the gift of good health. We must be grateful to God that despite the virus that's going on, God continues to protect us from the virus including out family and loved ones. We must also embrace the fact that even if we experience being sick sometimes, it's nothing serious and we will be okay in no time.
Opportunity to Earn
Another thing to be grateful for amidst pandemic is the fact that we are given an opportunity to work to earn money. You see, it's hard to get a job these days, but if you have one, even how small the amount of salary it gives, it's something to be grateful for. We should also be grateful for the fact that we have met noise.cash and even the read platform which has given us an opportunity to earn Bitcoin Cash (BCH). With that, it has given us an opportunity to provide the needs of our family in out little way.
Food in our Table
Life seems so hard these days, but if we still have a food in our table. Or even if we can still provide for the needs of our family, then that's something to be grateful for as wel..
Self-love
We should also be grateful that amidst pandemic, we value ourselves especially our health. We learned to take care more of our body. We learned to exercise. We learned how to love ourselves even more.
Closing Thought
A lot of things happened amidst pandemic, some were good and some were bad. Despite all of those we should still be grateful for everything. We should still be grateful for the good and the bad, because those things made us who we are today. And it has yielded on something positive in someway.

Planning to Buy a Laptop From Bitcoin Cash Fund
`Date: April 10, 2022 (Sunday)`
Throughout my existence in this world, I haven't had a laptop that I own or even a computer at home to use. With that, I am planning to buy my very own laptop soon. Now you might be wondering, what computer or laptop did I use way back when I was still studying?
You see, I learned using computer way back when I was in the middle school. My close friends had influenced me to try going to the cybercafe and explore the computer. I could still remember when I first use the computer, my heart was pounding so hard not knowing what to do. Good thing that my friend was friendly and kind enough to teach me how to use the computer and what to do in order to surf the internet.
From then on, I started to love using the computer. I even learned playing computer games. I remember I was so fond of playing y8 games including Penguin Diner and Diner Dash. I so love those games so much. The even if I spend so much time and money in the cybercafe, I still enjoyed it as I played my favorite games. I also learned how to encode texts, and try social media sites. I could still still remember how awful my profile picture back then. I even had my favorite artists as my profile picture such as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez.
Not to mention, I had a funny memory before. Whenever I saw a site in the television, I have tried to input those sites in the browser and I tend to be astounded whenever I was able to open the sites such as the ones in Disney and so on. You know these little things may sound hilarious now that most of us are already techie, but this is what I had experienced back when I was young.
Regarding the laptop, I have learned to use one whem my big sister purchased a laptop when I was in middle school as well, months after I learned to use computer. I was so happy back then because I can finally try using laptop. Back then I realized that laptop and computer are alike except on the fact that computer is much bulky than the laptop that can be brought anywhere you go. Needless to say, I have tried playings Plants vs Zombies because of it, I enjoyed that game so much as well.
As I started studying in the university, I still haven't had my own laptop. With that, I make use of the computers in our school and even borrowed from my big sister. That's how my life evolved back then. I even went to the cybercafe if I need to especially when I needed to use computer for surfing needs.
I could say that my life back then may be sad knowing that I didn't have the laptop or computer that I need for my studying needs, but I'm still grateful for those experiences as I was able to learn how to be resourceful and to make use of what wws present back then. It was hard and it made me struggle a lot, those moments were all worth it.
Having said that, now that I am already done studying and I have my permanent job already, I am planning to buy a laptop from my Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Fund which I got from noise.cash and read.cash.
**Why Laptop?**
I have a lot of things in mind on what I need to buy as of the moment with my fund, but I decided to go for a laptop. Here are some of the reasons why I need laptop as of the moment:
**Laptop for me as of the moment is a need and not just a want.** Just so you know, I need a laptop especially for my work. I badly need a laptop especially that I need to submit reports from time-to-time. I need to expedite the sending of reports and with that I need to have my own laptop to do so. There's actually a computer in the company, but it's quite laggy and it's giving me a hard time doing the work tasks.
**For my future trading needs.** I have already shared that I am currently learning how to trade and with that, in the future I need to have my very own laptop for my trading pursposes. I can also use it for other matters such as writing articles, and so on.
**Laptop can be used by my family.** I also want to purchase a laptop so that my family can benefit it as well. As of the moment, my big sister is already married, so it's hard for my family to use a laptop or even a computer. With that, laptop is a great help.
As of the moment, the market is on dip and my money in BCH is on dip as well. Having said that, my money is still not enough to purchase the laptop that I need. With that, **I will wait further for the Bitcoin Cash to rally anew and with that I'll dive to it once the amount that I need will be reached.** For now, I'll continue to grind and stay focused on my goals around the platform. One day, I believe that I will be able to reach them.
You see, setting a goal is for free, making that goal come to reality is a challenge. I'm only a few steps towards the goal of purchasing a laptop that I need. I'll surely celebrate once I will have it.
"Trust the process, for now."

Social Media Envy: What is it?
`Date: April 9, 2022 (Saturday)`
Social Media is a big thing ever since the rise of technology came in. Through social media, people can connect with their friends, loved ones, or even make friends with strangers wherever they are in the world. Communication and sharing of information is a piece of cake these days. People can connect with anyone in real time as long as the other people have an internet connection and a device to use.
Not to mention, living in an era where anyone can share whatever spins and turns that happens in their lives for free is astounding. In just a click, all the information or events that people wanted to share online will be shown to the world. They can post pictures and videos, and even share our thoughts on certain matters. Whatever that pops up in their minds can be shared as long as they want to to.
However, despite the fact that social media is a useful platform to connect and share information to people, it can also create a negative energy towards the feeling of each one. It can bring up insecurities that was supposed to be asleep as of the moment. It can make anyone feel inferior of themselves after scrolling through social media. It can make anyone upset their stomach after seeing the life updates of their colleagues, friends and even families. They can develop a sense of social media envy.
**What is Social Media Envy?**
*Social Media Envy is a feeling that is formed after watching or hearing positive life updates from anyone in social media. It can happen when people will become envious on the lives of other people. It can make them feel inferior or sad instead of being happy on other people's achievements.*
Social Media Envy may be a common thing, but it can yield to a lot of negative things that's why this should not be taken for granted with.
It Will Make You Feel Bad About Yourself
The feeling of envy that's created from within is **caused by comparing the life that you have to the life of other people**. With this thought in mind, **you feel like you're not good enough** in this world or **you will never succeed in life**. With the success that others have reached so far, **you tend to question your potential** if you can be like them or you can reach your goals in mind. You tend to think of negative things that make you feel down or make you feel upset about. You will then overthink things, questioning your worth, or question the path that you're journeying with. Having said that, it will make you feel bad about yourself as well as your chaotic and jealousy.
There was a song from Olivia Rodrigo entitled,"Jealousy, Jealousy" and it speaks so much about Social Envy. There's a line from the song which anyone could relate especially those who are experiencing envy in their hearts and it says that she's so sick of herself and she'd rather be anyone else as jealousy is following her.
**Important Thing to Remember**
It's not easy to feel envy towards people especially in social media. It's so easy to compare yourself to others and how much you wanted to have the life that they have. Howbeit, you need to remember this thing before diving and soaking yourself towards that feeling.
**People don't post their struggles in Social Media**
If you ever think that people have all the rainbows and butterflies in their lives because of the perfect life updates that they have posted, then you should try tweaking your mind towards a different angle.
Social Media is a platform wherein a lot of people can see a lot of things in your life especially the ones that you posted. With that, people tend to post only the great ones that are happening in their lives. They want to show to people that their life is perfect even though at the back of it, there are still a lot of mishaps that's going on.
You see, life is not all about a straight and nicely furnish road ahead, there are a lot of bumps along the way especially when we journey towards our goals in life. With that, don't be blinded with the sharing that other people have shown you. Don't you ever think that you want to have the life of others as you saw in their social media accounts that their lives are perfect. Your life is as wonderful as them. Don't you ever compare the season that you have to the season of other people. You have your own life, you have your own time, you have your own book that God has written for you.
Above all, don't you ever forget that you are a gem, a work in progress, so don't you ever abuse yourself by indulging through envy. And if you ever feel like creating an envy in your heart, try to channel your thoughts that will distract you to that feeling. Again, never tolerate Social Media Envy in your life; be happy for other people instead and be grateful for every blessing that God has given you.

Not Feeling Well Today
`Date: April 8, 2022 (Friday)`
The Cause
A lot of things happened lately at work. Paper works here and there. Sometimes, I just wish that my chill season comes back anew. I wanted some rest and I want to just be in my workplace but do nothing. Hovewer, that's not the reality of my work these days. Although, yes, my chill season will soon come again, but this time, I have to deal on the busy things at work.
With my hectic schedule lately, I tend to forget checking my phone, even updating in the platform. As much as I wanted to roam around freely here, the tasks at work are pulling me back. I need to finish them as the deadline is near the corner. If I will not be able to finish them on or before the deadline, our boss might scold me for being irresponsible. So, I have no other choice but to follow what's being instructed to us by those in the authority.
Yesterday, I haven't visited that much around here. I wasn't able to publish my write up as well since my day was a bit tough. In the morning I worked on the tasks at work, and in the evening, we practiced our dance presentation for the upcoming social gathering. Just so you know, I'm not into dancing, but I think I have to deal with it. Wish me luck on our presentation as I'm not good at dancing. Anyway, minutes beforw I went home, it suddenly rained cats and dogs. I was quite worrying because I forgto to bring with me my umbrella. I placed it on my workplace's table and it's quite far from where we had our dance practice. Minutes, and hours have passed, the it was still raining but I have to go home because it's getting late.
When the rain has stopped, I instantly walked towards home, but moments after I decided to walk home, it rained again. With that, I was soaked with rain. As I got home, I instantly drink a glass of water. I'm quite worried because I'm not that healthy these days, I might get sick from being soaked in the rain.
The Aftermath
As I woke up earlier, I already felt that I'm not well. I don't want to move my body and I just want to rest in my bed. The weather is still not good though and I think it will rain again later. However, there are still a lot of things needed to do at work, so I can't file my leave and with that I need to go home. Even if my body is not well, I still pushed myself to go to work.
When I arrived at my workplace, one of my co-workers asked me if I'm fine because I look pale and I don't have the same energy I usually give. I told her that I'm not fine and I think I'll get sick. She told me to rest and so I did in the comfort of my chair. Hours have passed, I noticed that my head aches so bad. I don't want to get sick though, but I think I'm about to get one. Because I'm having a headache, I drink a lot of water but it's still not working. So I drink a pain reliever. Thank God, I feel better.
But right now, I'm starting to have a headache again. I want to go home already and sleep. I really hate experiencing somethinh like this. I hate getting sick, but this is what I'm feeling as of the moment so I have no choice but to deal with. Good thing I only experience fever but not cough or runny nose. I hope I'll not get any of those things though and I hope to get really well soon.
Closing Thoughts
It's not easy to get sick. It's not easy to feel weak or even demotivated in doing work task. It's not easy to wake up in the morning feeling so dull. However, with the ever-changing weather we have lately, I think everyone is prone to getting sick. With that, let's all be careful. Our health is indeed our priority. So, to all of you my deareat friends, during this rainy season, stay dry. Please do take care of yourself as it's not easy to feel unwell.
As for me, I'm trying to get well. So, pardon if I can't visit and read your thoughts that much. One I will feel so much fine, I'll surely make it up with you all. Stay safe!

Perfect Things to Do On a Rainy Day
`Date: April 6, 2022 (Wednesday)`
As I wake up in the morning today, a wonderful moment embarks my day. I hear the raindrops on the rooftop that makes my heart warm. I love the ambiance that it gives; my heart and mind feel at peace as I start my day. How lovely it is to witness this moment. I can't help but enjoy the happiness that it brings in my heart. I enjoy listening to the calming sound of the rain while embracing the cold breeze of the air. It's been a while since the last time I was able to experience something this heartwarming.
I already thought of the things that I will surely do for the day. I have plans crafted in my mind to make this day worth-embracing, not leaving it to become a mundane one. However, as the minutes go by after I wake up, I don't feel like standing up. I just want to stay in the comfort of my bed and relax. I even wanted to continue sleeping. But the reality hit me that I need to prepare for work. With that I prepare for work late and I got late for work as well, but it's okay, I'll make sure not to be late tomorrow though.
By the way, I have thought of a lot of wonderful things to do during rainy days. Some of them can be done during sunny days as well, but I mostly love to do them during rainy days. You may find the list as cliche ones, but that's just what have been feeling as of the moment.
*****Here are some things***** ***~~**that**~~*** *****I love to do during a rainy day:*****
Drink Coffee
I love coffee so much. I think I have told each one already that coffee is my bestfriend. I can't even live a day without coffee. No matter what coffee it is, as long as it's coffee, I'll surely love it. There's something magical about coffee that it can make anyone get addicted to it, including me.
Going back, drinking coffee during a rainy day is indeed a must-do. As the warmness of the coffee blends to the cold surrounding, an astounding result will surely be achieved. It seems like the coffee embraces you to release the coldness that you feel in your body. It's just a perfect match during a rainy day.
Movie Marathon
I love watching movies a lot especially during rainy days. I love to stay in the comfort of our house while watching my favorite movies. I also love to pair my movie sessions with my favorite food such as fries, burger, popcorn, and name a few. And it's best to do with the family and friends, as well as watching alone.
Read Books
I'm not really into books. I seldom open the books available in our house unless I'm so interested. But then I still find reading books as a perfect thing to do during rainy days as the rain gives each one a peace of mind, leaving us with a positive way of thinking and feeling. With that I could that reading books way too good to do during rainy days. I'd like to note that I usually love to stay in our house's terrace while reading my favorite book on a rainy day. It seems like I'm having a great time during a rainy day.
Soundtrip
Listening to Taylor Swifts songs is one of the best things that I love to do during rainy days. I so love Taylor's songs no matter what. I think her song fits to every occassion though. Aside from that, listening to her songs is truly a wonderful thing to do during rainy days. Or it still depends on you on what music do you want to play.
Sleep
So far, sleeping is one of my favorites during rainy days. There's something astounding about the rain that makes anyone sleepy. With that, I usually get sleepy during rainy days. I can also be seen with my friends at the cafe or in other stores.
Indeed, there are a lot of things that are so perfect to do on rainy days. As of now, I can't wait to embark another rainy day as I am truly enjoying it. Although I know the hassles behind it, but it's still a great weather though.
It's all about perspective.

Life Story: Saving Money to Buy Wants
`Date: April 5, 2022 (Tuesday)`
A Glimpse of the Past
As a girl who wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I can't deny the fact that life when I was young was so hard. No matter how much I wanted to have the wants of my heart, I can't have them as I didn't have the money to purchase them. The focus of my parents back then was to sustain our needs and even pay our debts, so there's no room in buying toys or clothing-- maybe once in a blue moon.
Knowing our situation, I never grew up being a spoiled brat. I understand fully our way of living and I just go with the flow. Although there were times where I wish I have the life that other kids have so that I can live a better life, but I thought of how loving and caring my parents are, and with that, I just embrace the life that we have and dream that one day I will be able to live a better life, away from being deprived om buying the wants in my heart.
Way back when I was a kid, there were a lot of things that I haven't experienced. I never get to experience having a lot of toys in my room unlike the kids nowadays. I remember I have this little teddy bear that I used to play with. That was the only toy that I have throughout my childhood. As much as I wanted my parents to buy me a doll, they can't as it was way too expensive back then. No matter how much I cry for thay certain toy or even doll that I want to habe, my parents would still don't buy me the toy that I want so badly. So I'll just deal with it and accepted the reality.
When I started studying, my school supplies were not the high quality ones. I remember my notebooks before were just the average ones. I wanted to have the notebooks that my other classmates have, the thick ones, but then again, my parents were on a tight budget. I never got to experience having a very nice dress from the expensive section at the mall, I only have those in bargain.
If I were to enumerate the things that I once envied other kids with, it would take me forever to list them. But then, I'm still thankful to my experience and the life that I have as I was able to learn significant lessons that I'm still carrying until now. I have learned the importance of appreciating the little things in life. The things that the wealthy ones are taken for granted. The things that can add a pure joy in my heart. The things that will create a big ball of sunshine if they are being put together.
Another important lesson that I have learned from my experience is the importance of dreaming; to dream big in life. Through my experience, I have dreamed to strive more in life and to never stay to where I am. I have came up with a motivation to do more in life and to pursue the goals that I have in my mind and in my heart. I have this goal that one day, as I become the best version of myself, so as the way of living that I have, so as my parents' way of living.
On Buying Wants Amidst Being Poor
As what I've mentioned, it's so hard to buy the things that I want before. Aside from the fact that my parents were on a tight budget, I also have no money in my pocket. However, whenever I really wanted to buy something, I usually save money and wait for it to reach a certain amount until I use it to purchase what I want. Now, I have this piggy bank made from a container that I decided to use back then and put my money there to save money for my plans on buying my wants as of the moment. Usually I save money to buy clothes and even shoes or even food.
When I started saving money, I was already studying grade school. Whenever my mother would give me a little amount of money for school, I usually keep a small amount from it and put it in my piggy bank. I love doing it especially when I really have a goal.
Fast forward when I was studying in the university, I have a very small allowance, just enough to buy food and pay for the vehicle to school. But what I will be proud of was the thought that I can but some of my wants from that small amount of money. I can buy my skincare, my favorite lipstick, and name a few from that budget. Again, from my savings I can purchase my wants even amidst the tight budget.
With my experiences in life, I realized that no matter how small the money that we have, all it takes is discipline to purchase what we want in life. All we need to have the motivation to save money not just to buy our wants, but it can be used for a better living or even emergency fund.
Saving money is the key to buy your wants and that's based from my experience.
*****It's not about being rich or poor,***** ***~~**it's**~~*** *****all about the right way of handling finances.*****

BCH Savings Got Burned in a Ponzi Scheme
`Date: April 4, 2022 (Monday)`
Recently, I invested my BCH savings in a platform that said to make my money grow in just a month. Supposedly I don't want to dive on these kind of platforms as I don't want to give myself hadaches in someway. But then, things didn't turned out to what I have told myself first, I got encouraged to try the said platform and just go with the flow on how things work around there.
**Overview of the Scheme that Got Me Scammed**
The platform I invested my money with is not a good platform afterall. It has a lot of loop holes, but the sad thing is I still allow myself to try the platform; too late to know about this fraud. Unfortunately, it's a ponzi scheme. I got lured in the platform in hopes that I will receive what the platfrom has promised by the end of the month or the given days.
***What is a Ponzi Scheme?***
If you're not familiar what a Ponzi scheme is, you better learn from this for you not to get lured on the same scheme in the future.
***Ponzi scheme is a kind of fraud wherein the company lures people to invest an amount of money assuring that their money will get a big return after a few days or even a month. But the truth is, the money that keeps the company going is coming from the new investors and paying it to the earlier investors. The company of the scheme will also make sure that victims will believe that the money that are being returned from them are from the products or any activities in the company.***
Needless to say, what we need to do in the platform that I joined in is just login everyday without doing any effort and you will be rewarded. I invested a total amount of $60 in the platform from my BCH savings. I was astounded when it has given me $14 after signing in. What I have thought back then was I only need a few days to gain back my profit and will then start to profit.
The first two days was smooth enough. I earned a total of $8 dollars and I withdrew it in my account. I can't hide the happiness after seeing the money being reflected on my bank account. In my mind, if things will turn out to what it has promised, I'll surely earn a lot of money in the platform. But then as the next two days came, things were not running so smoothly and it's something fishy as well. The platform asks me to invest more money like $40 to withdraw the maintaining balance in my wallet. From that moment, I knew that it's the end of my journey in that platform. I have tried and that's more than enough to learn lessons from that experience.
I could say that it was a too good to be true platform. If it continues to what it has promised, people who joined in that platform would surely get rich. They will be rich enough that one would no longer 8 hours a day to make a decent amount of renumeration. But then the reality is, we need to make an effort and to learn a lot of things in order to earn money. Earning through easy money will not yield into something great, it's volatile enough that it will make one's emotions go up and down as well.
Invest What You Can Afford to Lose
The platform is already fishy enough, but I still dive into it; that's my mistake. However, I only invest what I can afford to lose. Although I have converted money from my BCH wallet to fiat, I already told myself that if that money will grow, it's a good thing, if now, then I have to accept the reality of it. I have prepared myself on the possibility of losing. And it is what it is, I got scammed. Although I felt sad about it at first, I just accepted the fact that I lose my money. I'll just bring the lessons I have gained from that experience.
Lessons Learned
You see, in life, it's not all about winnings. There will be times when we lose a lot of times. Aside from that, losing money is truly a big deal especially when you work hard to earn it. No matter how small or big it can be, the thought of losing money will break anyone's heart and will stay in one's mind even for a long time. Losing money can make one's day mundane and can lose one's motivation to do any task at work.
However, losing money may sound depressing, but it can be a blessing in disguise. There are a lot of lessons that can be extracted from losing money in a snap.
Here are some of the lessons from losing money:
Becoming Wise Enough in Handling Finances
Losing money can make anyone to be wise enough in handling finances especially on releasing money on certain things. It's not easy to lose money though so every decision on money matters need to be thought of before diving on something.
Strengthen the Ability in Handling Problems
Losing money from a scam is truly heartbreaking, but it can also help in molding our emotions better. It can also helo strengtgen our ability in handling problems. In a nutshell, we're becoming wise enough in handling any problems that life has been showering us every now and then. It helps us to be stronger and stay firm whatever storm that goes our way.
*Indeed, my experience of being scammed is so sad, but I don't want to cry over spilled milk. What I can do is accept the reality that I was once lured in a fraud, and never get hooked on that kind of scheme again. I hope all of you will never get scammed on the scheme that I've been lured with. Never get scammed on easy money again.*

Do-It-Yourself Notebook for read.cash and Trading Journey
`Date: April 3, 2022 (Sunday)`
It was the first week of March 2022 when I decided to make my very own notebook for my read.cash journey. I wanted to track how my writings are going such as if I'm still doing my one article per day challenge or not. I wanted to monitor how my journey's going and with that, I decided to make a notebook for me to write my thoughts and track things out. Later on, I also decided to make another notebook which is for my trading needs for jotting down lessons as learnings as well.
As of now you might be thinking, why not buy a notebook in a store instead? It's as easy as going there and find the perfect notebook to write on and that's it-- a notebook for tracking the journey. However, things are not as easy as that for me. I still haven't found the notebook that I've been looking for. I usually wanted to write on something where the template is already there. Where I don't need to write grids and stuff. I want something that I can just simply write on what I needed to write without doing something complicated. Aside from that, I also want to save a penny in buying a notebook where I can make one instead.
Don't get me wrong, making notebooks may be sure fun, but I'm no way professional in making one. The notebooks that I made so far are just right for me to enjoy writing things in there. Again, I don't want to make things complicated and so I made notebooks that I need for the moment.
I could still recall before, I always buy notebooks in the store whenever I need one, but I'm not that motivated to write something from it, maybe because the designs are too dull for my eyes. I can't even buy the expensive ones as I always thought that they are the same notebooks to write on and so I'll just choose the budget friendly one.
My DIY Notebook for My read.cash Journey
My DIY notebook may not be the best, but I love how it turned out to be. Bybthe way, there are only few things that I have used to come up with my personalized notebook: a **laptop** for me to edit the template of my notebook's pages, a **used bond papers** and a **printer** for my printing needs, a **scissors** to cut the printed templates, a **puncher** to add holes for the pages, a thick **plastic cover** of a folder to serve as a cover, and a **fastener** to make everything intact. It may sound like I needed a lot of things but if we put them together, only few things are needed to come up with your very own notebook as well.
Pages Template
For the template of my notebook's pages, I have used Canva. Canva is my go-to-place for almost everything. Be it coverpage for my report, work presentations, or even read's needs, Canva is the app that I run to and it serves as my superhero most of the time. I love to use it as it's so easy to use and there are a lot of templates to choose from. Not to mention, I have been using this ever since I was studying and up until now, I still love it and they have made it even better.
*****Here are the pages***** ***~~**that**~~*** *****I included for my notebook:*****
This is the template for my write ups. Just so you know I challenge myself to write one article per that I came up with this kind of template. As for the template, I included there the month that I need to write on, the date, the article title, and what I earn for every article. I love this kind of template as I will be able to track or to monitor my monthly journey. To be honest, sometimes when I use my phone for tracking I tend to forget to check it so I really need this kind of template to write on. I know I will do it manually especially on the computing part, but I love to do this.
Another template that I made was this, the Notes template. In here, I write whatever thoughts I want to write for the month. I even write my monthly goals and so on. I put 15 notes pages for every month. If I need more, fret not as it's only a print away.
Just so you know, I have been using this notebook since the first week of March and until now, I'm still having fun jotting down things and monitoring my journey. Tracking everything makes the journey even better.
My DIY Notebook for My Trading Journey
In one of my previous articles I have said that I am currently starting my journey on trading. My brother-in-law gave me a book about trading and with that, I'm interested to learn more from it. It's a book or a guide on trading in stock market and even in cryptocurrency. The book is superb enough I could say as I have learned a lot already on the trading terms so far, but still far cry enough in starting my first trade. Just so you know I wanted to learn it first further before diving to the real world of trading. Not to mention, the book has 7 chapters, but I'm still on the third chapter. Every chapter has a long lesson that I need to read and understand, plus I'm a busy person so it takes a while for me to dive to it, really.
Going back, I also made my very own trading journey notebook. I just made it simple as I will only jot down the important terms or even lessons that I have learned in every chapter. Anyway, I'd like to add on that in every end of the chapter, there's a QR code to scan and it will lead you to a video wherein you could learn more, exciting, isn't it?
This is the template that I have used for my trading notebook. A simple, but cute one for me to write on. I love it as the design is so pleasing in my eyes and I feel excited to use it because of it. Not to mention, I have written the lessons already that I have learned from the book and I have used like 5-6 pages already. As of the moment, the notebook is still in good condition and I love it.
You see, you don't need to spend a big amount of money to buy expensive notebooks. Whether a notebook to use for tracking, jotting down notes, and name a few, you can always use the resources available at home to save money.
Moreover, I realized especially when I started carrying my own basin that I need to discipline myself on buying my wants. That I can use resources at home, recycle it and be innovative enough to use it. With this, I'm not only saving money, but saving mother earth as well.
Above all, having a notebook is great to track the journey, the only challenge here is the consistency to use it and the determination to take everything that are written there seriously. You see, it's so easy to plan out things in the notebook, but taking those plans to action will really tell how determined you are in achieving it.

Dearest Hometown: An Open Letter
`Date: April 2, 2022 (Saturday)`
*****April 1st of***** ***~~**year**~~*** *****2022, 6 in the evening.*****
I am sitting comfortably right next to the welcome plant in the terrace. After a long day at work, finally I have the moment to spend some time looking at the surroundings while embracing the cool breeze of the air. How I miss this moment of spending my alone time in the terrace while drinking my favorite coffee and allowing my mind to wander from one place to another. I can't help but feel glad for this moment. I also enjoy sipping my hot coffee while observing the surroundings. I am truly amazed by this moment.
Now, as I allow myself to indulge to in this moment, I can't help but appreciate what's in for that time. I love listening to the crickets enjoying their journey as the night breaks. I love looking at the plants swaying peacefully as the air touches their greens. I love how the surrounding makes me feel at peace. And as I look at the sky, I'm in awe looking at the diamonds in the sky. How wonderful it would be if I stare at the sky to see falling stars above. It's been a while since the last time I witnessed one; when would be the next time? I wonder.
As I give more time for myself to relax and reflect on things, I look at my cellphone for a moment and as I see a post about a place, I suddenly remember my hometown. The hometown where I grew up with. I suddenly remember the things I usually do around and the feeling that it carved in my heart are priceless. I can't help but think of it even more as an astounding place worth appreciating.
An Open Letter to My Hometown
***To my dearest hometown,***
It's been a while since the last time I thought of you. How are you? I heard you have a lot of developments already.
How's the big mango tree near the park? I heard that it's gone now. I could still remember before, we used to play with my cousins around there. We used to play hide and seek. I even cried everytime I got caught. I can't stop laughing now that I'm older whenever I remember that moment.
The ice cream vendor at the park, I heard he's no longer selling there. I miss the tasty ice cream that he was selling. With the different ice cream flavors that he sells before, I can't help but ask my mother always to buy me one. I wonder where is he now, or is he still selling ice cream or now.
By the way, I'm sorry for the time back when I was a child when I thought of leaving you. I was too ambitious that time that I want to leave our place and move to the place that never sleeps. The place where lights are flashing one place to another. The place where I can see enormous buildings and visit establishments in a snap. Back then, I simply wanted to experience what I saw in the movies. A moment where people are so flashy that I want to be like them.
But you know what? The moment I went to the city to study, I realized that there are a lot of charms that you hold that I can't see to the city. The sunset with the magestic sunset sky that I used to enjoy in your place was no longer seen in the city. I still need to find a spot where I can see it as the surroundings was covered with big buildings. I can't even appreciate the moon at night as what I could see around are the glowing lights on the streets. The cricket sound that I usually hear in our place, was covered with the beeps of the car on the street. I can't even hear even a little sound of the crickets; how I miss them. And you know what? The cold breeze of the air which I tend not to appreciate before was being missed the moment I live in the city. It feels hot even at night that resulted on me not able to sleep well at night. After that moment, I suddenly miss you. I regret not appreciating the beauty that you hold when I was young. I realized that you're a diamond. You're worty embracing for.
Now, I'm 24 years old. I'm proud that right now I am here in your place, working in a wonderful workplace and living the best out of my life. I'm so grateful that I am here with you. Just so you know I'll always be thankful to have you. To live, to grow, and to dream with you. I can't wait what the future will hold, but I hope you'll develop to be the best version of you, like what you wanted for me to become.
I wish you all the best my hometown. Know that you will always hold a big part in my heart as you molded me to what I am now.
**Always,**
***Leticia Felize***
To my dearest friend @alicecalope , I appreciate your support. I'm beyond grateful for the blessings you have shared.

Cryptocurrency Journey: Discover Your Deepest Desire
`Date: March 31, 2022 (Thursday)`
A lot of people around here started learning about cryptocurrency when they landed on noise.cash. If not, perhaps, a friend told them about the astounding world of cryptocurrency and the biggest potential it could yield in the future. Some even discovered it while scrolling social media platforms, or watching video streams, and name a few. There are many factors to when each one discovered crytocurrency and when they started their journey here. And you can't deny the fact that most of the people, or everyone, in here are for money; to find the opportunity to grow the money they've been working hard for in their lives.
When you started your journey here, perhaps, what comes in your mind is to earn Bitcoin Cash and convert it to fiat to buy the family's needs or even wants. Try to look back on the first BCH that you have earned. Remember how happy you were that you were able to gain something from posting thoughts. With that, you were to eager to post more and interact more in order to gain more from the platform. What comes in your mind that time is to continue your journey and earn a good amount to help the family and provide their wants; nothing more, nothing less. You were so excited to open the site always and post as often as you could until it became a routine.
Moreover, as days, weeks, and months went by, you have learned from others the importance of investing in cryptocurrency. Your mind is now open to other areas of this path that you're walking with. You have learned about investing to other coins in cryptocurrency, on tokens, Smart BCH, and name a few. A lot of things have already been added into your mind and with that, you realized you wanted to do more other than converting your BCH to fiat in a snap. You have thought of a lot of things to sow for you to reap something good in the future.
You see, how you view your life and how you see opportunity magnifies what you really want in life. It magnifies what you truly desire. Your motivation in continuing your journey in investing is different from others. Others invest to live comfortably in life for their family to live a comfortable life. Some even want to continue for their self's benefit and nothing more. Some wants to succeed in this journey because they want to help other people. In a nutshell, each one has their own drive on why they continue and why they want to dig more about this field-- on why they want to be successful.
Your Deepest Desire
*****Have you ever asked yourseld on what's your sole reason why you continue your journey here?***** ***~~**Or**~~*** *****have you ever reflected on what you truly desire?*****
Now, let me share how you will be able to discover your deepest desire on your journey in cryptocurrency. This is just an easy task and it won't take much of your time. This has been taught to me by a friend and I wanted to share it to each one in order for you to know what you truly desire as well.
What you need to do is you try to **list down atleast 20 things that you will do with your crypto profit or your crypto gains.** It could be anything as long as that would be the things that you will do once you will profit in this field. You may add more than 20 things if you want to do with your gains.
If you're done listing the things that you will do with your crypto gains, try to reflect on those answers of yours and find the generalization of what you list down. Are the things you listed are purely for yourself? or are most of them benefit your family or other people? The answer is in your hands as those things that you listed are your reasons why you continue to dig in, or to continue to strive in the cryptocurrency world. Those are your deepest desire why you're still here standing tall even how bumpy the road that you're walking with.
Now, this is your chosen path. Whatever is in your heart and in your mind that you wanted to achieve, go for it. Never allow yourself to get distracted on the hindrances that life will be throwing at you. You have your goals that you want to achieve. Work for them and strive for them. Have the right mindset and the right attitude towards them. One day, the odd will be on your favor and all your hopes and aspirations will soon be in your hands. Trust the road, and keep on holding on to it.

WAGMI: We're All Gonna Make It
`Date: March 30, 2022 (Wednesday)`
Each one aspire to earn more in life. Each one wanted to learn the different income streams that could somehow improve their way of living. Each one looks for that perfect platform that could help them gain a good amount of money and could be the key for them to unlock the possibility of having financial freedom. Moreover, a lot of people these days have seen the potential of cryptocurrency and with that, each one aspire to learn its nitty-gritty and unlock great possibilities.
Howbeit, anyone would certainly agree that the world of cryptocurrency is broad enough to learn it overnight. There are a lot of terms to instill in the mind that could somehow give a headache to anyone especially to those who are just starting. From the numerous cryto coins to choose from, to the charts that they have each one, it's truly mindblowing to take in these technicalities in mind. If only everyone's mind is like a computer where the information can be learned in just a single click, how perfect that idea would be. However, human beings don't have that kind of reality and everyone should dig in, read and learn the lessons manually.
Needless to say, entering the world of cryptocurrency is like journeying towards the whole world. From searching in the internet on what are the essential things to learn to watching videos online about it and everything in between, the lessons about the crypto world is truly overwhelming. Everyone wanted to find that one site or channel that explains all the technicalities but it seems impossible. With that, extending an extra mile to learn about it would be the only way to learn more about it and to continue the journey towards it.
Embarking the Journey
I am also one of you; one of the millions of people who are just starting to learn the nitty-gritty of the cryptocurrency world, hoping that in someway I will be able to master it. With that, embarking the journey towards cryptocurrency is never an easy thing.
I could still recall the first time I stepped on the crypto world, it was truly a stranger to me. It all started when I joined the noise.cash platform and start earning Bitcoin Cash (BCH). I never knew back then that I was already stepping on the crypto world. If not because of that one site where I found this noise.cash platform, I might not be able to embrace the journey towards learning more about crypto. From there I started to know more about the other crypto coins, tokens, even wallets, Smart BCH, and name a few. Right now, I am almost 5 months old in both noise and read platform and I have learned a few technicalities around.
Hoping to Learn Trading
Moreover, as I continue to sail around, what I wanted to learn more is trading in cryptocurrency. I joined a lot of groups in social media and a lot of people are talking about trading where I can't relate with. Until I finally decided to dig in about trading.
But as I try to unravel about it, the technicalities of trading seems so intimidating and so complex that as someone who is just starting to learn the basics and without sny background about it, it's truly nervewracking. I realized that a lot of things are needed to digest in the mind. From candlestick and patterns reading to trend following and all, I can't seem to grasp where to start. With that, I cool down for a while and take my time to learn it in a gradual manner.
Until one day, my brother-in-law has given me a book. I never thought that he would give me a book about trading and making money in stocks (stock market) and crypto. I was too stunned to speak and just so happy after I received it. As of the moment, I'm still gradually learning about it and will give more time to learn out from it. It's still not easy-to-digest as of the moment, but with determination and perseverance to learn, who knows one day I'll be able to make it.
WAGMI: We're All Gonna Make It
Each one of us has our goals towards our cryptocurrency journey. No matter what it is, may we bear in mind the thought WAGMI.
~~Now~~, what is WAGMI?
*****WAGMI means We're All Gonna Make It. It's a term widely used in the crypto community to encourage and give hope to each one that one day, all our dreams and goals towards this cryptocurrency will be achieved.*****
The path is truly not an easy road to take. Sometimes it could make us think if we're still walking the right path. Howbeit, always remind yourself that just continue to journey it, learn more from it, never lose hope, never give up and tell yourself that in the long run, **"We're All Gonna Make It"!**

Financial Freedom: What is It, Really?
`Date: March 29, 2022 (Tuesday)`
This is your story.
You wake up early in the morning, prepare your breakfast, and take a shower where you can't certainly enjoy. After you prepare, you will then commute to embark a new day in your workplace. It's another day for work, another day to embrace doing work tasks for straight 8 hours. Another day for taking yourself in a battlefield that feels like forever. This is what life really is as of the moment and this is the only way that could be the key for you to provide your needs and even wants.
Not to mention, the work that you have is not that bad. There are still wonderful people that surround you and will make you feel that you belong. There are still a lot of things to be grateful for at work. Needless to say, it's not always hard day everyday though as there are still days where everything feels light that you can just chill in the corner waiting for tasks to be given and done. You feel happy as well when the pay day is almost there as the excitement will still run in your veins and you can't wait to hold the salary that you have been working for the past days, or weeks. Even if the salary is not enough, you have this feeling of gratefulness for the job that you have, you feel blessed enough to be given this kind of job and to gain money to make you live a better life.
However as you commute to your way home after your work day, you can't deny the fact that you have this desire in your heart to achieve the standards you have set for yourself. It's not about being ungrateful or discontented on what you have, it's the dreams that you have for yourself that you wanted to achieve.
You have this goal to never worry about anything in terms of money involved. You wish you never fret for bills. The thought that you can just pay whatever you need to pay without minding how much it is. Like you can just buy your favorite clothes or shoes without looking at their prices. You can just eat in a fine restaurant without minding how much their food cost. The thought that you can simply enjoy the pleasures of life without thinking of the bills that follow. You wish to live the life you ever wanted, the life away from the standards of the society.
Not to mention, you have a lot of thoughts in mind. You wanted to multiply your money without sacrificing too much of your time and energy. You surf the net on things that will help you get rich in a snap. However things don't work that quickly. You need to work for it to achieve it. With those searches, you have read about investments: cryptocurrency, trading, candlesticks, stock market, Smart BCH and name a few. The problem is that, it's so hard to learn those things. The terms involved are just too broad to instill in the mind. In the end, you feel hopeless.
Until one day, a friend introduced you on a platform that could multiply your money in a few weeks or so. It says that you need to put money in the platform, and your money will be returned in less than a month. Your greediness turned on, so you grabbed the opportunity and invested all your savings in hopes of being given with a bigger return. You never thought of the possible risks, all you ever thought is to be rich without doing anything.
Few days, or a couple of weeks passed by, a news came out that the platform works strangely until it finally shutdown bringing all the money that you have invested. You felt hopeless. All the money that you save for a couple of months turned like ashes. You cried about it, howbeit, you can't do anything. Your mind has been soaked with so much regrets that you got scammed. It's true that if it's an easy money, it's truly a scam.
You have a lot of questions in mind for yourself if you deserve to experience all the hardships in life. All you ever wanted is to live a life where you can enjoy. A life where you have a financial freedom.
**But what is financial freedom,** ~~**really**~~**?**
*Financial Freedom means having financial investments, enough savings, and funds on hand that can be used to buy whatever you desire to buy for yourself and for your family. It simply means having your savings grow that will enable you to pursue a career without being driven working on fixed salary monthly. You also never get overstressed by making decisions financially because you are prepared. It's the thought that you let the money works for you and not you who work for money.*
**You control your finances without being controlled by them.**
Moreover, attaining financial freedom means making an effort to walk the path towards it. You need to invest into learning. You need to learn the nitty-gritty such as investing in cryptocurrency, stocks, business and so on. All it takes is a mind that's determined to reach that goal, and a heart that beats for embracing the journey. It may still blurry now, but one day, financial freedom will surely be reached. Trust the process and do your part.
At the end of the day, the only barrier towards it is you. If there's someone to blame of not attaining financial freedom, it's you all along. Because you need to work for it to attain it. The challenge is yours, the motivation to achieve it is in your hands.
**Now ask yourself, are you up for the challenge to have financial freedom?**
The answer is yours.

The Cinderella Way of Chasing Dreams in Life
`Date: March 27, 2022 (Sunday)`
Back before 2021, I was so thrilled after I saw the trailer of "Cinderella"the movie wherein Camila Cabello will be the lead actress. Not to mention, I'm a big fan of her with her great songs and powerful voice. With that, I can't wait to listen to her songs in the movie and I can't wait to see the movie itself. After watching it I look forward to watching it and I already planted in my mind that I will be able to download it real quick once it has been downloaded in the movie downloader site that I have known.
Howbeit, the busy days happened and I can't deny the fact that I wasn't able to download it after it has been released. I was not that busy roaming around the social media as well since I got busy minding my work tasks that I needed to finish. So it is what it is, I haven't seen the movie, until just earlier when I decided to download a movie and I found it. If it's not because of the boredom that I have experienced, I will not be able to be reminded of this movie and I will not be able to see this wonderful movie as well.
Cinderella 2015 vs Cinderella 2021
If the previous Cinderella movie which was released in 2015 had the memorable line "Have courage and be kind", the Cinderella movie which was released last 2021 is a whole different thing. The previous Cinderella movie was just like the animated Cinderella but in live action. What I love about the Cinderella movie in 2015 is that, it taught us a lesson that kindness is a trait that we must resonate to every people that we met as through that kindness that we're giving, we never knew that we're creating a magic from it. I so love the vibe of the previous movie as it's so classic and it felt like I want to live in that time.
Now, about the Cinderella 2021, I was astounded by the series of events in the movie that were changed from the classic one into a modern one. I never thought that a lot of things have been tweaked from the movie, but still ended up with a masterpiece. I actually love how the people behind the movie had crafted. From the storyline, the cinematography, the costumes, and everything in the movie was just too perfect not to appreciate. It's just too wonderful that until now, I'm still in awe.
***~~But~~*** ***what struck me most with the Cinderella movie 2021 is the determination of Ella in achieving the goals she has in life.***
Thankful always to have great people in my life, ready to support no matter what.
An Overview of Cinderella's Life
Cinderella is an orphan who is now living with her stepmother and two step sisters. Her stepmother is not too good at her, but she still treats her with respect. Cinderella is a young lady who has a big dream in life which is to be known as a famous fashion designer in town. She always dream of crafting signature dresses that a lot of people would love. She have this goal of achieving her dreams in life through the help of her determination and perseverance to reach those goals no matter how hard the path may seem. She even find love as the the story progresses, but she still choose the path that she wanted to take in the first place, but in the end things have been iron-out.
The Cinderella Way of Chasing Dreams in Life
Just so you know, Cinderella was so focused on attaining the dreams that she have in mind. Needless to say, here are great ways that we would love to follow from Cinderella on chasing dreams in life:
Never stop dreaming
Work on your dreams
Never give up on your dreams
Trust the process
**Never Stop Dreaming**
We should never get tired of dreaming and chasing that dream. We should always dream of whatever we wanted to become in life. Everyday there is a new opportunity that will be given to us. Dreaming is for free, we should never stop dreaming.
**Work On Your Dreams**
Thinking of our dreams alone will not make our dreams come true. We need to work on it. We have to be determined and courageous enough to achieve them. We must put an effort to the path that we're walking towards it.
**Never Give Up On Your Dreams**
No matter how hard the path may seem, never ever give up on your dreams. Continue to strive; continue to grind. One day, our future self will thank us for that we continue instead of giving up.
**Trust the Process**
The path may seem rocky, and the finish line may look out of reach, but things will not stay to where it is now, it will continue to change either for the better or for the worst. Continue doing the right thing, and the right path will follow.
Closing Thoughts
Cinderella is such a wonderful movie worth watching for. There are a lot of lessons we can learn from it. Not to mention, until now, I'm having an LSS with its soundtrack, "Million to One". It's such an astounding song. If one day I'll lose the motivation, I'll surely listen to this to remind myself on why I started and why I need to continue.
Moreover, this is surely a must-watch movie. Hope you'll find time to watch it.
Wonderful Life is Not All About Material Things
`Date: March 26, 2022 (Saturday)`
What does it mean to have a wonderful life? What does it mean to consider our living as a better one? When do we consider ourselves as successful individuals?
You see, when we were asked these questions we would definitely thought of material things in life. We can say that we have a wonderful life if we have an enormous house with a fancy design.We can say that we have a better life if we already have a high-end vehicle. We can say that our life is on the summit if we can buy the things that we want in life. We can eat whatever food we crave, or even travel to different countries even in everyday money. We can even call ourselves as successful individuals if we have all the money to satisfy whatever things we wanted in the world that the society see as one of the things that successful people have.
*But, what if I tell you that having a wonderful life is not about having all the things mentioned above? What if I tell you that to have a better life we don't need to own everything that the society's standards are listing here and there? Would you believe on me?*
Here's a Catch
The society that we're living already build standards where we can have as a guide on what's the status of our living. Just like if you have a luxury car and a big house, you already have a better life knowing that your way of living is different from others, and so on. Needless to say, these standards would somehow leave us hopeless especially when we try to reflect on our status in life and the life of others are more better than us. We tend to feel down as we compare our life to others. We tend to feel disappointed on ourselves and we get pressured a lot as we can't walk on the path smoothly towards a wonderful life based from the society's standards.
Howbeit, we must also instill in our minds that having a wonderful life is not about the society's standards or even having the fancy things in life. **Life is all about mindset.**
It's always an astounding feeling to have people in our lives that will support us endlessly, just like the people above; well-appreciated.
The Right Mindset
The life that we're living is so hard to understand. And as the society's standards are being added, life tends to be more complicated. We feel pressured, we lose the passion, we feel down, and name a few. A lot of factors are affecting our way of thinking. A lot of things are going on that we feel so inferior.
But then, we should remind ourselves that life is all about mindset. Having the right mindset would lead us to a better path; a path towards the life we always long for. A life where we can see life in a vivid and a positive view.
**Now, what is a mindset?**
*****Mindset is a series of beliefs that each people holds on to themselves. These beliefs will help one to make sense of the world and themselves.*****
It's important to have the right mindset in life. A mindset that would help us live a life where hope is there. A mindset that even if our way of life is just right to others, we still find it as a wonderful one as what we think of our current situation is already a better one. A mindset that will help us embrace the life that we have and a mindset where we can make the best our of it without looking after the standards in the society. Not to mention, we should also have a growth mindset. A mindset where we can see challenges and setbacks in life as an opportunity to grow, not an experience that will make us feel down.
How to have the right mindset ~~in life~~?
Don't rely on the society's standards, believe on what you think is better in your life
See things in life as an opportunity to grow, not a bump that will only make us down
Never compare your life to others
Stop seeking for other people's approval
Celebrate even the little things in your life
Above all, there's no other people to be blamed on our way of living these days and how it has been, it's us all along.
Closing Thoughts
You see, a wonderful life is not all about the material things that the society already crafted, it's all about mindset. If you have the right mindset in life, things may still be tough, but you will get through it through the help of the right mindset that you have. Stay positive and have the right mindset; a growth mindset.
Self-help: It's Okay to Rest
`Date: March 25, 2022 (Friday)`
We have a lot of things that we wanted to achieve in life. Some of them are goals that we wanted to achieve in a short period of time, even if we know that it's quite impossible to do it. We push our limits so hard that we end up feeling exhausted on doing the things we want, but in the end, we didn't make it. We didn't achieved it on the desired time that we want it to happen. It will lewd us feeling down, or disappointed on ourselved knowing that we failed to achieve what we desired to achieve.
Well, fret not my friend, as today we'll talk about an important lesson that must be instilled in our minds. The important lesson that we must do in order to achieve our goals. It's a lesson that talks about the thought that, "It's Okay to Rest."
The Story of the Two Woodcutters
There was actually a story about two woodcutters. They are task to cut a trees that almost have the same size. They were given a deadline on how they should be able to finish cutting the trees. The first woodcutter was so diligent in cutting the tree. He never rested even for a moment with the thought in mind that he wanted to finish cutting the tree before the deadline. On the other hand, the second woodcutter would take a break and rest for a while before continuing on cutting the tree. The woodcutter usually does that until it was able to cut the tree.
Not to mention, as they were continuing cutting the trees, the first woodcutter who never rested even for a moment and just continue resting never able to finish cutting the tree on the deadline given, while the second woodcutter who was able to take a rest or a little breaks was able to finish cutting the tree before the deadline.
Now, the moral of the story is that, it's okay to rest for a moment before continuing the goal you have in mind. It's never wrong to rest and regain the energy that you have exerted and work productively again. What's wrong is pushing yourself too much even if your body can't take it anymore. Be gentle to yourself, take little breaks and you'll be able to achieve your goals in the time your desired it to be.
Grateful to the wonderful individuals for the support.
Important Lessons You Should Know
There are a lot of lessons that we should instill in our minds. These lessons are essential in order to make take extra more care of our well-being. We should remind ourselves these lessons for us not to feel guilty especially when we decided to rest for a moment.
**It's okay to rest, but do not quit.**
**Rest when you need to.**
**When we rest, we recharged.**
**You don't always have to be busy.**
**Life is all about balance.**
It's okay to rest, but do not quit
You should always tell yourself that it's to rest. Just like taking a nap after soaking yourself on the computer for hours. It's okay to just sit in your terrace while looking at the view amidst all the tasks in queue. It's okay to take a break and prepare your favorite coffee. Well, it's really okay to rest, but do not quitting. Quitting means stopping fully the things that you have to do to achieve a goal, but resting means pausing for a moment and continuing after how many hours or minutes.
Rest when you need to
You know your body so much. You know whe it gets tired already. When you feel like resting, then rest. Never push yourself too hard. Your body is so precious, learn to take extra more care of it. Because in the end, if you will not take care of it, you will also be the one to suffer.
When we rest, we recharged
Resting is recharging. Recharging all the energy that you have lost after hours of staying at work. Imagine a phone or any gadget, after hours of using it, the batterly level decreses until it needs to be recharged, so as you. So learn to recharge when you need to. Never drain yourself too hard.
You don't always have to be busy
We don't always have to be busy to call a day productive. That's why we should chunk our goals or tasks specifically in order attain them within the time given. We can still be productive while taking breaks remember that.
Life is all about balance
We should not allow ourselves to just work, work and work purely throughout the days of our lives. We should learn to balance our lives. In the end, we will be the one to carry the consequences of burning out ourselves so much.
Closing Thoughts
It's okay to rest. It's okay to take some break. It's okay to give yourself sometime to chill or to relax while watching your favorite shows or doing the other things that you love. Never push yourself too hard. One day, you'll be able to achieve your goals without putting too much pressure on yourself. Above all, never feel guilty of resting, as resting could lead to a more productive day. As resting will help us relax and recharge that are essential for a more motivated self.
Current Favorites: March 2022
`Date: March 24, 2022 (Thursday)`
It's the 24th of March and few days from now, we will embark another month which is April. Time flies so fast indeed. It seems like January just started, but now, we're almost on the 4th month of the year. But then, I'm still grateful though as throughout those days in 2022 that have passed by, I learned a lot of lessons that I'll forever be bringing.
By the way, I go over my article series and I forgot to continue this one. I think the last time I wrote about this was still last December. Howbeit, I can still continue it though, so here I am writing about it. I'm also excited to think of what to include on the list.
To those of you who didn't know about this,"Current Favorites" is one of my article series wherein I wrote my top favorite on the list for the month. I have this kind of series so that if I'll look back and read each of my entry, I'll be able to look back on what I love during these times. You see, our likes are ever-changing and I want to record what I love as of the moment. Let me start!
My warmest thanks to these wonderful people for the never-ending support.
Favorite Song
These days, I love listening to the whole songs of Warm Fuzzy Feeling from a music streaming application. But if there's this one song that I love repeating over and over again these days, then that would be **"Dandelions" by Ruth B.** I just find the vibe of this song so positive and whenever I listen to it, my mood just turn happy. Although I can't relate to some of its lyrics because I think it talks about the man that she loves and how much she wants to have the man to be part of her life, but I can relate on the other lines though like, "I see forever in your eyes". I mean, we can say some of the lines from the song to our special someone though.
Another song that I love to listen to is the song **"Willow" by Taylor Swift**. I mean, I love listening to every song of Taylor as I am a swiftie and a big fan. I love listening to her songs even the old ones. But these days, the song Willow caught my heart. Maybe because it keeps on repeated from the same playlist, the Warm Fuzzy Feeling.
Favorite Movie/Series
In terms of movies, I'm not into watching movies lately. But I'd love to say about my favorite series these days, **"Business Proposal"**. I already talked about this series in my previous article. But I'd love to add that I'm now on episode 8. I can't wait to finish it and wait again for another episode. Actually, the series is driving me crazy, I so love it. I'm so excited for the next episodes to come. I just love it as my heart gets so excited lately. I forgot how to have this feeling as I'm so busy at work and nothing excites me, until I know this series.
Favorite Food
If there's one food that I love lately, then that would be **hash brown chicken burger** thay my friend has given me last time. Just so you know, I love potatoes so much. With that, eating that burger satisfied me so much. I love the combination of the hash brown, the chicken, and the mayo in it. Maybe I'll try to ask my friend where did she bought it, or maybe she just made it, I don't know. I'll find out. Now that I talked about it, I suddenly miss the burger.
Favorite Emoji
Here are my frequently used emojis and I'll be able to base my favorite emoji from here. And based from the list, my favorite emoji is the **" heart".**
Let me add the runner ups which I could say that I usually use as well:
The sparkling one
The loved emoji
The clap one
The apple one (I think I accidentally clicked on this one time, but it's fine, I'll just include this)
The cute smile emoji
The laugh emoji
The "I don't care emoji"
Not to mention, lately, I noticed that I love commenting with a heart sign with it. Maybe because I only comment when I love something. I'm done with those days where I shared a lot of stuff in social media or even comment to every post of my friends. I think right now, I could feel that I changed a lot. I have changed my ways so much. Is this a sign of adulting?
Favorite Color
Lately I love color blue or let me say, **sky blue**. Whenever I look at the sky, I see sky blue and it melts my heart everytime I stare at it. I still love other colors though, but this time, blue is the one that captured my heart.
Favorite Smell
Love the smell of **rose mary** lately. So there was a time when we went to a farm and found a plant of rose mary, as I smell it, I instantly fall in love with its smell and with that I started to like it.
Favorite Drink
I love to drink anything with chocolate and milk lately. I'm so into their taste and I can't help but love them so much. The downside is that, my tummy feels bloated and I can't do anything about it as I'm so fond of eating unhealthy food and drink. Might try water therapy lately which has helped me to lose some fat before.
Favorite Quote
I'm so into the line "We're All Gonna Make It" or WAGMI. My brother-in-law has given me a book for those who wanted to start trading. Just so you know, I wanted to learn about trading and stuff and the thought that I was given a book about it, I'm motivated even more to start my journey. But I'll still learn thoroughly about it though before diving.
I guess, the **"We're All Gonna Make It"** line would be my favorite quote. Hopeful that one day we will all gonna make it and embrace financial freedom.
Closing Thoughts
So these are my top favorites for the month of March. I can't wait to know if my April favorites will still be the same or it will change. Anyway, we will soon find out.
*****How about you? What are your current favorites***** ***~~**for**~~*** *****this month?*****
Business Proposal: A New Series to Fall In Love With
`Date: March 23, 2022 (Wednesday)`
Yesterday, I was having a fine morning. I woke up early and prepared early for work. Not to mention, I drink my morning coffee smiling while looking at the sunrise and embracing the breeze of the morning air. It's just so wonderful to note with. I wad also staring at the morning sky, the clouds looked like cotton. How fluffy they would be if they will become pillows in someway.
Another thing that creeped in my mind yesterday after looking at the sky was the thought that I suddenly miss riding an airplane. I wish going somewhere to travel and to enjoy like 2-3 days on a vacation to other places. When would be the next travel be knowing that we're quite busy at work lately.
Now, as I was about to go to work, I saw the clouds surrounded the mountains which was so beautiful to stare at. How I wish I was near that mountain, I'd definitely take a lot of pictures and embrace that once in a lifetime moment. Howbeit, I was far from the mountain, so what I carried was a sense of hope that one day I'll be able to visit it. As I arrived at work, I arranged my table, update my journal and finally eat my breakfast. I'm not usually the kind of person who eats a lot during breakfast, I just eat and eat until I get quite full and I'm done. I usually eat sandwich, cereal, and depends on my liking as of the moment.
Moreover, after I eat my breakfast, I drink coffee again because I have the urge to drink another cup. So basically I prepared a coffee, but this time with creamer, not the dark one because I just feel like it.
I'd like to extend my words of gratefulness to the following individuals for the never-ending support for me around here.
Needless to say, I still have nothing much to do in the morning so I opened the app on my phone that's a video streaming site. As I kept on scrolling, I always saw a clip of a Korean drama. Actually, I kept on seeing them since the last 2 weeks I guess, but I never mind it because I told myself that I will not watch series these days for my eyes' sake. Just so you know, my eyes got the problem last 2020 while I watch a series everyday. And yes, I was once a k-drama addict.
Going back, I kept on ignoring each clips, but whenever I ignored it, there's an urge for me to watch it. Then I end up having a thought of why not I try to watch again. Yes, the clips got me. I was enjoying the clips though so I think it's time for me to start a new k-drama journey this year. Not to mention, I had a hiatus on watching k-drama from May of 2021 until now. I think it's time for me to embrace it again.
So I searched for it online. I watched the episode 1 for about 5 minutes, when my co-workers told me that they wanted to watch the series that I was watching, so we did. The three of my co-workers and I watched the episode one the the episode two. You might be wondering why we were able to watch a series wherein it's working hours. Well, we have a technique that only us would know especially when we watch series at work.
By the way, the title of the k-drama series is **Business Proposal**. It's actually an ongoing series and right now, it's still on episode 7. Howbeit, I was still on episode 3, not so long from the current episode though. It consist of one hour per episode anyway.
Here's a Catch About Business Proposal Series
*****Fret not, I will not spoil you with the story because you might want to watch it***** ***~~**in someway.**~~***
This k-drama grabbed my attention again. This might be the time when I get addicted to watching series again, I guess. Just so you know, the first part of this series was not that great on my perspective, but as the story unravels, I can't help but laugh so hard with every part of the story. I can't help but enjoy everything about it. I never thought that the story would go like it. Even my co-workers laugh so hard with all the funny moments in the series.
Here are some of the reasons why I love this k-drama and why I'm enjoying it so far:
The actors and actresses are so handsome and pretty.
I'm familiar with some of the characters, just like the second lead actor and actress, I saw them on the series I watched before which was Mister Queen, I don't know if you're familiar with it.
The flow of the story is just so astounding. I can't help but get hooked on every part.
It's a romantic-comedy series.
The series gives me butteflies even if I only watch until episode 3 of it.
I love the story so far.
I can't help but wait for more.
Having said that, I can't wait to watch the continuation of the series. My co-workers and I actually promised each other that we will watch the series together and enjoy it together as well. It's fine for me though because whenever I watched it with them, I enjoyed the series even more.
Closing Thoughts
I guess, my k-drama addiction unlocks again this year, or not. But even if I do, I'll swear to myself that I will not put too much pressure my eyes so much so that there will be no problems that will arise. Anyway, the series was indeed a wonderful one. You may watch it if you want, tell me if you do and tell me if you love it. Let's enjoy the series together.
Make Your Moments Matter
`Date: March 22, 2022 (Tuesday)`
Try to look back on the days you spent lately, how was it? Was there a moment where you feel so special and you think it's one of the best days of your life? Was there an event lately that made you laugh so hard? Did you encountered something jawdropping the past days?
As of the moment, you may be trying to reflect on those questions. You may be trying to look back on how you spent each of those days. You might be in your room right now looking at the ceiling imagining how things went lately. Howbeit, as you try to extract your experiences, you can't dig a moment where you feel special. You can't recall a time where you laugh so hard. You don't remember any moment where you experience something jawdropping from one of these days.
Not to mention, all that you can think of are the stressful tasks that you did lately. All you can think of are the negativity that your work has brought in your mind. All you could think of are the tiring moments that you have experienced. With that, your mind might be preoccupied with all the stressors at work that you can't see a wonderful moment to remember. You feel like the days that you spent so far were nothing but another mundane day.
As you realized that your days were not that great. You start to feel pity about yourself. You start to feel down that things were not so great lately. You feel so unlucky how dull your world is. You feel like the world is against you. Then the three letter word will start to creep inside your mind. A lot of "why's" will roam around your mind:
***Why do other people are so blessed and I'm not?***
***Why do I feel so left out?***
***Why do I feel like my moments are not the best?***
With that, you started to have a lot of questions in mind that make you pity yourself even more. You thought of nothing but the moments you feel hopeless. You start to compare yourself to other people with the blessings they have received and you felt helpless. For you, life seems to be sad and tiring. Nothing good is happening and you can't wait for that time that a moment will shake your day and change the gloomy clouds that it surrounds.
Appreciation part to these wonderful individuals, your support means a lot.
Fret Not, My Friend: Make Your Moments Matter
You see, it's inevitable to feel down thinking that nothing's going on special with your days lately. It's inevitable to be sad and to feel like you have dull days. Howbeit, even on those days you there are a lot of things worth celebrating about that you often take for granted. There are little things creeping in the corner that added a special feeling in your heart, but you disregard as you allow the negativity to roam our mind and nothing else. You choose the path towards the dim light than looking at the bright side.
You see, even in your mundane day, there are still little things that you can celebrate about.
The thought of waking up in the morning with a wonderful weather on your side.
How about your morning coffee added a positive effect in your mood.
Even the view of the surrounding as you go to work makes your heart warms.
Of course, your co-workers that you were able to talk with and sharing good topics together.
And even, the favorite food you order jjst arrived and you're so happy.
You see, there are random moments in your life these days that once make your heart smile, but you choose to oversee the ones that make you down. Howbeit, you should also remind yourself that even those dim moments are worth celebrating. Even the darkest path that you've been can give light in your path. Even the littlest details of it can turn into positive in no time. Just learn to be grateful for them.
Learn to be grateful for the days that God has given you. Learn to embrace the moments that you are given no matter what experiences they hold: be it good or bad. Learn to see the positivity beyond those tiring and dull moments, as beyond those coat lies what you need to be equipped about. Above all, learn to be grateful for everything that happens in your life and make those moments matter. Because at the end of the day, you are the one who choose what path you want to take: it's either you soak yourself to being grumpy or you'll choose a much better path worth celebrating.
Closing Thoughts
It's true that it's so easy to make our moments look dull by not appreciating it. However, if we learn to see the positivity that ever moment has brought into our lives, and if we learn to be grateful, these moments that we have no matter what it is will make us embrace that they matter. It's still a different feeling to embrace what life has made you experience no matter what it it. Again, make your moments matter.
Before I'll put a dot on this page that I shared, I'd love to appreciate these wonderful individuals for the continuous support you always share towards me. Sorry if it's quite too late because I was quite busy lately, but I do appreciate everything that you are showering in my life. My friends @Bloghound , @Lucifer01 , and @alicecalope , I appreciate the support and sorry for the mention.
Anyway, my schedule's pretty hectic lately. I was in hiatus for posting, but glad that I'm back. I can't wait to roam around again and read some of your wonderful thoughts shared.
If Bitcoin Cash Will Go To The Moon
`Date: March 20, 2022 (Sunday)`
As of the moment, I think it's common for us Bitcoin Cash lovers to hodl our BCH funds until the market will be bullish again. Some of us, including I, are having a goal of reaching a certain amount of BCH: 1 BCH, 2 BCH, 3 BCH, and name a few. We also have our routines after being in the platforms that would be a great help on our BCH journey. We already crafted plans on what will be our next step and how we will be able to make the best from this opportunity that has given to us.
Just so you know, earlier, I looked at my BCH wallet and I can't help but feel so blessed. I'm so grateful to be able to bump on the astounding platforms that has given so much happiness in my heart; Noise and Read. It's such a heartwarming experience that after all that I have been through especially during these pandemic, I have met wonderful platforms that are truly worth staying for. They have given me an opportunity to journey on learning more about the cryptocurrency field which I never thought I'd learn before. They have proven that a non-toxic community still exists and that's where I am now.
Not to mention, meeting BCH is one of the greatest thing that happened in my 2021 up until the present. Meeting wonderful people around the two platforms are also one of a kind. The thought that I have kind people to imteract with still warms my heart. I'm still in awe on how the two platforms has made me feel. The support that they are constantly giving is priceless. I feel like I belong here, and I feel like I am meant to stay. This is a home to me, and I'll stay here no matter what happens.
So happy for these people for the support all the way.
Just so you know, being on this BCH journey, I have dreamt of my favorite cryptocurrency which is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to go to the moon. I have dreamt of the moment that it will go back to its all time high.
How wonderful it would be to look at the BCH market and I see colors of green rising like a star. How wonderful it would be especially to the hodlers of BCH to see how it has changed from being on the dip to the mooning state. How wonderful it would be to see this once in a lifetime view.
If BCH will go to the moon, I presume the BCH hodlers, including me, are cheering so happily. I could hear the words of happiness being released from the mouths of each one. That moment will be worth celebrating moment for sure and it will create a milestone worth remembering for.
Plans if BCH will go to the moon
As of the moment, I already have plans in mind on what I would do to my BCH funds if the BCH price will go mooning. I already have crafted plans that I presume would be a great help not just for me, but for my family as well. I know for sure that it may take years for the BCH to go back to its ATH, but I'm just here preparing for its arrival even if I have to wait for a thousand years.
Now, here are some of the plans I have crafted:
*****Business*****
If BCH will be back to its ATH, I'll use the funds that I'll have to take a path which is to have a business. I am planning to do it because I think it would not only help me, but it will also help my family as well. It's also a great story to tell if ever that if that business will become successful in the future, I'll be proud to say that what I have built comes from the BCH investment that I have been working on through the Noise and Read platform. How astounding that would be.
*****Invest*****
If BCH will go mooning, I'll use the funds that I have in investing my money. As of the moment, I still don't know where to invest to, but I'm constantly learning and hopefully soon, I'll be able to have something in mind to where I'll invest my money.
*****Give Back to My Family*****
If BCH will go back to its jawdropping value or even beyond, I'll surely use some of my funds to give back to my family, especially to my parents. They have sacrificed so much for us. I want to give back to them in my own ~~little~~ way.
Closing Thoughts
Nothing is impossible. I believe that months or even years from now, the value of BCH will go back to its all time high and everyone will surely celebrate. For now, what I can do is to patiently wait for the moment. What I can do, is to trust the journey because I know for sure that they may be bumps along the way, but staying positive amidst all the storms will lead me somewhere in this journey that I'm taking. Now, if Bitcoin Cash will go to the moon, I'll ride the rocket with it.
*****What are your plans when BCH will go to the moon?*****
Questions to Reflect With
`Date: March 19, 2022 (Saturday)`
It's Friday! I'm so happy since few hours from now it will be Saturday again. Another day to relax and to celebrate. Another day to simply chill on my bed doing random stuff that I usually do on a weekend: watching movies, series, listening to music, and name a few. It's also the time where I could play games whenever I want to. After a long days at work, I can finally find a relief to relax for a moment.
Just so you know, I had an astounding yet tiring day earlier. We went to a place surrounded with nature which made my heart warm. Although we have walked a long up and down paths, I still enjoyed the moment because of the view that we were able to see around. I also had a great time talking with my friends while we were on our way to our destination and with that, I feel like my tiredness has been lessen into half. Needless to say, after about 30 minutes of walking we finally reached our destination and it was all worth it as we were able to see lots of wonderful long trees around.
After we have done with our goal in our destination, we rest for a moment and walk again for another 30 minutes to go back to work. We actually went there with my friends at the workplace to do work-related stuff. It was a tiring day, but still worth it as we have discovered a lot of stuff we never knew exists. Fast forward, as we got to our workplace, we were tasked to do a report and that made us feel exhausted. But then since it's compulsory, we did the report and finally we finished it on time through teamwork. I so love the teamwork that we had and glad everyone cooperated to make the report done.
Beyond grateful for these beautiful people for always sharing their support on me, I do appreciate it a lot.
Not to mention, I would like to talk about the moon tonight. As I went outside, I saw another jawdropping view. Yesteday night, I have talked on how wonderful the moon was. I have talked on how heartwarming it was. Never thought that the moon tonight was more heartwarming than ever. With that, I instantly grabbed my camera again and took the wonderful view of the moon which do happen only few days in a month. The output of the photo was not totally clear, but we can still see how astounding the moon is outside. Looking forward to see more of magestic views like this soon.
*****Isn't it lovely? Isn't it wonderful?***** ***~~**Isn't it?**~~***
So much for that, today, I decided to use my bestfriend in terms of reflecting. My bestfriend in asking questions that are worth pondering for. Another session with the random questions generator, and with that, without further ado, let me start!
What do you like best about yourself?
This one's actually a tricky question for me to answer. I don't usually find what's good about myself as I'm too focused on what's the downside of me that I need to improve with. But if there's a thing I love about myself, it's the thought that I have the heart for dogs. Dogs really give me joy and whenever I see them my heart warms so much. Whenever I see a stranger dog looking hungry, if I have the food to give, I'll surely give it to the dog as I know they're like humans. They may not speak, but they have feelings and they can get hungry too. So that's it, I think the empathy I have towards dogs is what's best I can tell about myself.
What song do you usually sing in the shower?
Just so you know, I love showering since that's the time when I feel like I'm having a concert or something. I don't know if it's just me, but I so love the idea of singing in the shower. In that way, I feel like I'm more relaxed and I can enjoy the moment I have in the shower. Going back, what I usually sing in the shower are Taylor Swift songs and Olivia Rodrigo songs. I love them two, so no wonder I love to sing their songs a lot especially in the shower.
What's something that you should start, but haven't?
I'm actually aiming to drink atleast 8 glasses of water these days. I realized that I only drink a little amount of water and with that, I want to tweak the habit of hydrating myself. But then, until now, I still can't make it. Before, drinking atleast 8 glasses of water was a piece of cake. I don't know what happened now, but still hoping to finally add a color to it though.
What do you wish you had more talent doing?
I love watching people making crafts and even furniture. I even love watching videos about it on YT. Now, if there's one talent that I wish to have more talent with, that would be the talent or the skill in making crafts. Just so you know, I have a lot of things in mind on what I would do if I have that talent. Hope I'll be able to lear about it and will surely apply it more in my life.
What's the last thing you complained about?
Probably making a report after a long time walking and that happened earlier. I mean, I wanted to rest after a long tiring walk, but then I have no choice but still obey. Althought I can't deny the fact that I was really complaining first. Good thing, my co-workers are cooperative and we finished the report on time.
Closing Thoughts
So much happened for today, but I'm glad to bumped on these questions as I have reflected on them in someway. Might have another set of questions from random generator soon.
Heartwarming View of the Moon Tonight
`Date: March 17, 2022 (Thursday)`
Whenever I feel blue, I just look up and stare at the wonderful view of the sky and I instantly feel fine. There's something magestic about it that it makes my sad heart feel happy in a snap especially during night time. Whenever I look at the sky in the evening, I can't help but stare at the wonderful stars shining like diamonds. I love how they shine amids the darkness that they are surrounded with. I also love connecting the stars, forming constellations. I even look for the constellations such as the Orion's Belt, the Big and Small Dipper, and name a few. I can't help but hope that one day I'll be able to see them in person, or even see how they look like up close even if it's quite impossible.
Not to mention, as much as I love staring at the stars at night, I also love staring at the glowing moon especially when it's in full view. Whenever the moon is in its full face, I'll directly go outside and stare at it for minutes. Its beauty is truly captivating, and I presume a lot of people are also fond of looking at the moon's view. A lot of people love to stare at night at its heartwarming view.
I could still remember back when I was a child, I thought that the moon was following me. It seems like the moon was at my back following me wherever I go. It seems like the moon wanted to play with me in someway. The moon seemed like my playmate back when I was so young. I never realized that there was a scientific explanation behind it and I was astounded even more. With its wonderful nature, who wouldn't fall for it, right?
Needless to say, the moon never looks dull. How I see it before and now are still the same. The difference now is that, I can see the details of the moon in someway through my camera. With that, I'm about to narrate how lovely the moon tonight.
Grateful to have these wonderful people in my life. I appreciate you all.
The Moon Tonight
My heart is still still happy tonight. I was in the busy street when I look up the sky and saw a marvelous view. It's full moon and the moon is shining so brightly. The glowing moon captivated my heart so much. I feel like my heart beats for the moon for its alluring nature. It's supposed to be a gloomy night, but I'm amazed how the moon manage to come out from the dark clouds that surround it.
With the excitement I have in mind, I grab my camera and try to capture a picture of it. My camera is not a high end device though, just a midrange one. Howbeit, with the love I have for the moon, I still decided to capture even just one photo for me to have a souvenir of tonight's glowing moon.
After capturing the moon, my heart already feel warmed. Just look at the moon shining brightly towards us, it seems like it's telling us to brighten up. It seems like the moon is reminding us that amidst the darkness that we've been through, there's always a light. A light that would be there to guide us in the path that we're going to take towards the desires of our hearts.
So much for that, since I'm not contented on the first picture, I tried capturing another photo and this time, I'm using the pro feature on my phone's camera. The feature wherein I have to manipute the ISO and stuff. Pardon, not really good at it, not even knowledgeable about photography, but I love to explore them though. Anyway, so I grab my camera again and take a photo of the beautiful moon. This time I could not see that much the glow that it gives, but I could see its details.
Just look at it, it's so wonderful. Anyone's heart would melt if ever they see such view. I can't help but say a lot of compliments to the moon as it seems to have a magic that it truly captured my heart and I find so much comfort whenever I look at it.
Closing Thought
So that's how the moon looks like tonight; so heartwarming. I hope I'll be able to witness a more vivid view of the moon through lens. I hope I'll be able to have a device wherein I could zoom it so near, yet the quality looks so good. I just hope one day I'll be able to purchase one, who knows.
*****Have you seen the moon***** ***~~**tonight**~~********?*****
