Hey, who could still remember this candy? The milky delicious taste? Got these from my nephews loot bag from trick or treat.🤣. Honestly even I already forgot this, didn't even noticed in grocery stores. Yet, since I was reminded, perhaps gonna look for some once I al out for a grocery shopping. By the way how's everyone? TGIF!
@Lhes
BCH price was unstable since yesterday! Just bought at $113 but didn't expect it will pump upto $122. Sad part, I wasn't able to set a sell limit. Who would thought that will happened?🤣. Now, current price as of the writing is $118.10 at Binance. My sell limit is $120. Haha cross fingers it will be filled so that I could buy back again once it dump.😅🤣

Few days ago, I posted here a dining set (6seaters) that we are planning to buy. Yet, last holiday I visited the nearest furniture shop in my husband's place, " Fiesta Mall". Saw these one which cost arounf P14,000 something in Philippine currency. It was made from Malaysian wood. Quite cheaper than our first choice, so I am considering these one. Yes, it might not that last compares it it was made from mahogany but don't have a choice for now. We can upgrade in the next years right? Rather than buying somethinh expensive that doesn't suited in our budget.

What is the advantage of having your ownn house? Me: I can drink my coffee even in the bedroom😆. Thankful, the weather was okay last Sunday so I went home (in laws). Got a chance to accomplish some things in our house. I managed to install curtain rods with the help of my brother in law. Curtain, courtesy of mother in law. The next day, after I wake up I prepare my coffee, went back in our house ( I slept in sister in law house with mother) ..Don't be confuse,lol, we are just in one compound and I just roamed around 🤣🤣. After, I sat on our bed and enjoy sipping my coffee😆

Accomplished on Holidays. Hello Read cash family! Here I am again, MIA (missing for action) for days. I just got busy , well not that busy actually. It is just a cute little boy took my laptop, lol. Nevermind the background though. I went home ( in laws) last Sunday when the weather was already good was okay . It was long weekend so as expected my housemates went home already to spend time with their families. I was left alone in our dorm . Not that I am afraid of ghost, it is the REAL humans rather. I am staying in the city and who knows what is running into the minds of some. I don't want to risk here even though the place was safe, so far. I haven't heard any crime that happened for years of staying here. Still, prevention is always better. Though our house now is okay, I am still staying in my in-laws house. Where I eat and sleep. I don't have things to be use in cooking aside from rice cooker. Also she wouldn't allow me to sleep in ours as I haven't completed some things like, salt, sugar, water, etc. Superstitious beliefs to be done before moving in. I was about to write but this baby boy ( my husband's nephew) saw it. Just like other kids he is into gadgets and watching some videos in YouTube ( cars related) makes him happy! Haha, so how could I disappoint him? I don't have the heart. With that I just spent the days, bonding with my in-laws. As well as accomplished little things in our house. ============================================================= Installing curtain rods. The bus terminal was in SM store ( one of well-known malls here) so I decided to stop by and buy what I need. Been looking for curtain rods that suited my taste. While scanning the displays, can't help but to laugh at myself. I took an effort last time measuring the windows without knowing that rods are " Adjustable". Goodness! Didn't know that. I wasn't even sure what are I needed but glad as what I bought was already in complete set. What I need is a " drilling equipment". Thankful brother in law was on the rescue. He borrowed one from his friend. Then, my other brother in-law was the one who installed. I am always thankful as even though my husband is not here, my in-laws always accommodates me. They are always treating me nicely. Even spoiling me sometimes even in small things like fetching me at the terminal and drive me back once I go home. It could be cooking the foods I wanted to eat which I always appreciate. I wasn't able to buy for a curtain as nothing suits my taste at the department store. Styles were only limited and but quite pricey. Not practical to buy. However, mother in law was on the rescue. She lent me one which is to be place in our bedroom. Opss, it didn't matched the beddings but that is fine. At least it was now covered and I could move freely. I had the freedom to do what I wanted, even drinking my coffee in the bedroom. Yes, you heard it right. After I woke up earlier, I prepare a cup then brought it in our house. I sit in our bed , browsing my phone while sipping. hehehe, keber! I am now starting to enjoy the feeling of having our own. Thanks God for helping us to happen. One by one everything are now falling in its place. Our prayers and heart desires were granted. Then who knows, maybe other will be this 2023. Looking back, hubby and I just wanted a simple home. Half concrete will do . Yet we didn't expect that God will blessed us more that what we are asking for! He really never fails me. That is why everytime I witness another prayers were granted by him, eventhough not mine, still couldn't help but to be happy for them. WHY? For me it means, the QUE is moving and perhaps what next in line " FOR SERVING" is now mine. I am already sleepy while writing this blog, not proofread so please pardon the typo's and grammars. I just wanted to post and update and inform you guys that I am still here. ***Thank you Dearest sponsors for choosing to stay and support me!

A day had passed after my birthday, sadly I wasn't alble to celebrate because of typhoon Paeng.. My plan was to go home in Batangas and celebrate it with my inlaws..However it was raining so hard in there plus strong wind. Don't have a choice but to stay in Manila. So just spent it alone, doing nothing😬
@Lhes
Since I joined another blogging platform and slid into the server, my Friday night was always saved for our bonding time. Just virtually. Different games lasted for an hour and were hosted by staff or fellow users. The prized was not that much, but everyone was always competitive. " fast hands" and a strong internet connection was needed to win. However, last time the game was different " it was just a bring me something," but the things the host asked were not the usual. I got 1 point which made me joke that the winner should be prepared after I sent this.
@Lhes
One of the reasons why I love the province is I can have fresh fruits fresh from the backyard. Does anyone love Guyabano or also known as Soursop? This fruit is a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant, and could boost the immune system. This is one of my favorites. Sadly the taste was somehow different in the city aside from a little bit expensive sometimes. Maybe because it was harvested before it turned ripe. Unlike here in the province, it ripens at the tree. Want some?
@Lhes
Yesterday, I was happy seeing BCH price reached upto $115..Thought it would goes up and up but looking at the current price?😂. I regret I didn't sell some BCH last night...I could have small profits by now if I buy back😂😏
@Lhes
Sudden change of Priorities. Indeed time is running like being chased by a demon or a killer, lol! Why oh why? It seems it was yesterday when I celebrated my birthday, and now a few more days, a number will be added to my age. Please don't ask me how young I am because I am still. I was thinking about how my priorities change as time passes. On my last birthday, weeks before, I was already planning how to spend the day. Since I am not at home most of the time, I celebrate alone. Mostly, I would go into the salon for some hair treatment, rebond, hair color, and whatsoever. Then I would go shopping to buy a few things: shoes, dresses, pants, or anything that would catch my attention ( I only have a budget, not a shopping spree). After would dine and have a delicious meal. Sounds good, right? Who says you won't enjoy being alone? You can still embrace the "solitude." Speaking of hair, it badly needs treatment as it was severely damaged because of my recent vacation. I already had it trimmed, but still, it looks so dry and dull now. See? Also, the newly grown hair, I mean my natural hair, starts peaking ( *bumabalik ang sumpa*). Never mind my eyebags #blog pa more! Perhaps I should have at least a Brazilian treatment to tame it BUT........................................................ I thought a hair treatment was enough to buy a dish rack that I've been eyeing.

Yet it was still empty aside from a bed and a rattan drawer. Oh, I forgot, I managed to buy some things like a basin and other cleaning items: no other furniture or house appliances. As much as I wanted to go on shopping, my budget is currently tight. I just satisfied myself with browsing and somehow window shopping, and I saw these! It is almost perfect, aside from the fact that it wouldn't fit, as my sink is only a single type. However, I was planning to buy this kind of, but I wanted to see it in actuality to ensure it was not low quality (it might get rusty). Aside from that, I need to buy curtain rods for the windows. The glass used was transparent. Our house has four windows, and I checked in hardware for the other, and one rod cost almost $9. Plus the hawk, labor fee, and of course, the curtains. I wanted to buy quality ones as they would last longer, so I know I will need a lot. There are so many things in my mind to purchase, so for this birthday seems I will be buying NONE for myself. I would rather save some penny or buy something for our house so that Hubby will be happy when he goes home. Speaking of it, we settled that it will be him whom will be travelling going back here instead of me . I wanted him to see the fruit of his labor. Then, perhaps we will have our bonding moments while decorating our HOME. When is that? Perhaps this May 2023 in our wedding anniversary. Can't believe I've been married for years! So yeah that's for today, I need to sleep early as you can see, those bags under my eyes are getting healthier, lol! ***Thank you Dearest sponsors for choosing to stay and support me!

Just done eating lunch ! Usual rice as I don't think so I can live without it. For viand felt too lazy to cook so I just buy, I am not sure if this is chicken mechado😂. Partner with fried fish and of course sliced of dragon fruits.. Could be considered at healthy meal?😅😆
@Lhes
Got these in my phone gallery while I was deleting some photos to clean up space ( lowkey cp😂). What I love most when I am at home. Walk up with food to eat and no need to prepare for myself. Haha, just pancit, bread and a cup of coffee is enough for breakfast.
@Lhes
Saw these on Facebook Market place when I was browsing for dining set for sale. We are planning to buy probably this December ( still saving some penny for it). Seller said lumber used was Gmelina. I did some research and seems it is okay to use for furnitures. Yet someone told me,this doesn't last longer since mostly is just laminated . By the was this cost around $443. Who knows about furnitures here? Was it worth to buy?
@Lhes
My work ended five in the afternoon, yet I extended it until 6:30 in the evening because of some deadline. I wondered why many people were outside the building when I went out. Only to find out it was raining! Maybe, they are waiting for a ride or for simple reasons: they don't have an umbrella. Well, I was a girl scout to take mine from my bag. However, due to the rain, as expected, traffic is waving. It was kind of hard to catch a ride. I decided to take a few walks under the rain for an alternate route... Goodness, still thankful I arrived home safe, although my shoes were soaking wet and my legs hurt from standing in long queue lines in the terminal.
@Lhes
Dropped by at SSS (Social Security System ) today as I need to pay my husband contribution for 3rd quarter. It was quite easir if I will be paying online but can't since his online acct is not okay. Usuall, seldom guys pay attention with this kind pf things. If its him, he won't bother paying😂. So, since I am his better half,lol.. here I am😆
@Lhes
Last Sunday, I saw this lovely couple waiting for my turn at the globe. I decided to upgrade my sim to5G for a faster data connection. They are sitting in front of me, so they catch my attention. The way the guy looks into his wife, all I can see is love. His eyes speak of how much he adores her. Also, as the lady held his hand, his arms, oh my God, no doubt they were still madly in love.
@Lhes
The reason I was awake till Dawn. I seldom sleep as early as eight in the evening, yet as much as possible I tried at ten P.M. Thus, last night I got hooked with something which I wasn't able to restrain myself. Ended up awake until three in the morning. Did I enjoy? Haha nope, just get frustrated. Why? You may visit my latest blog at read cash if you have time. https://read.cash/@Lhes/the-reason-i-was-awake-till-dawn-e4ee73a7
@Lhes
The reason I was awake till Dawn. I woke up today with a headache due to a lack of sleep. I was supposed to sleep early last night after I was done talking with my husband thru video call. I was done writing my blog in PeakD and some engagement with other users. Yet I don't know why I suddenly decided to browse on Wattpad. It's been a while since the last time I spent time reading, so somehow, and I missed my old routine. If you have been reading my blogs, perhaps you know how addicted I was before. I spent time reading until dawn and even buying paid stories. Glady, I could lay low when I got hooked here at Read cash. So while browsing, these caught my attention. **Image Source** https://www.wattpad.com/story/141752606?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=lymalay&wp_originator=uJ0wBcgzU4SDh2GFcyniHiKSgwaDFS65l5gJ7R%2BWjpl88ey8felrGikQ%2FXbDEfZhEllXXrniUd%2BizK%2BeMVZ%2FCLrj5VCByrijYAbUvwocBVDj9DC%2FqghEA3uxR%2F2PdSdZ JFstories wrote my Psycho Billionaire. I found it interesting as it was my first time encountering this type of story. I mean, being one of the SEVEN Wives? Aside from knowing the author, I could say she was good as I have already read some of her novels. So without much thinking, I proceed to read. The main characters were the second generation of her previous stories though it was a stand-alone. Here is the plot; The male character is the billionaire and the woman used to be a childhood sweetheart. As in child as the female lead was only five and the guy was ten, I think back then. He used to bribe the little girl with chocolates so that the latter would agree to be his girlfriend. Since chocolate is hard to resist, Macey ( the female lead) agreed. However, she was thinking of ending everything once she was done eating all his chocolate without knowing that the cute little boy had a lot of chocolates at home. So they even reach their first monthsary. Until one day, Panther (male lead) mother died. He left the country, and since then, they have lost communication. After years, he was now a well-known billionaire in the Philippines. Then he announces that he is searching for ladies to be his qualified seven wives. Yes, you heard it right! On the other hand, Macey grew up like a boyish lady and was determined to pursue her career in singing. One day, while she was in line trying her lack in an audition, she landed as the candidate to be Panther's wife due to her stupidity. She was determined to do her best not to pass the quest as she hated Panther, but due to some event, she landed as one of his wives. The setup was unique, staying with other wives as it was like in a reality show, and things became more complicated. Panther was in an organization that had its own rules. The story was getting more exciting, and I could not stop reading. Even though I was so sleepy, my mind was awake! It was already two in the morning, so I decided to stop. Put my phone on my bedside table, hug my pillow, and tries to sleep. However, my mind kept on wondering what would happen next. Macey started to get hurt every time Panther would sleep in one of his wife's rooms. Some of the wives hated her and even grouped into "anti-Macey." One of the wives, Olly, whom she helped since other wives bullied her betrayed her. Her protector, Light, seems to fall in love with her. ahhhhhhhhhhh. Without thinking much, I retook my phone and started to continue reading. I was in the scene where there would be a raffle for all the wives, and the lucky one will spend seven days with Panther in his chamber. Luckily, it was Macey who won. Their first night was great! So great that she was having a hard time walking the next day, lol! She feels so special as she was indeed treated special. However, on the seventh day, Pather told her to go to bed, and he decided to sleep in Debi's room ( one of his wives). Hurt, she couldn't control herself, so she uttered her disagreement. Yet was hurt her most when he answered that she didn't have a right to as she was just " ONE of his wives." Ouch. That hurts. Weird, but I felt Macey's pain. I scroll down and can't help but feel frustrated as it says I am at the end of the story. Meaning the story is still ongoing. I checked, it was updated a day ago. " *ang ayaw ko sa lahat iyong nabibitin ako"* ( I don't want to be left hanging). I checked the FB page and saw some Shoppe links for the book. Sadly the one I am reading is not yet available. Reading the comments seems not only me who wanted a copy. A little bit desperate, lol I sent DM to the fan page, but until now, I haven't received a response. At three A.M., I am still scrolling; any means that I think I could have a copy. Even willing to spend some penny if needed. I still ended up frustrated! With that, I woke up with a headache at nine in the morning! I was planning to visit the National bookstore to look for a copy since I am going out too. (I need to upgrade my sim to 5G). Guess what? I really went to check if there is a copy but negative. " ***ahaha shemmssss, hindi matahimik ang kaluluwa koooooooooooo!"*** This is one of the reasons why I never engage myself in Kdramas and games. Once I got hooked, I quickly got addicted to it and won't stop. Not until I am done watching the whole series or satisfied myself by winning a game. I won't hesitate to spend some money if needed until I realize I spent much when I received my credit card bills. **To avoid such incident, there are NO installed games on my phone.** Prevention is always better that cure! I won't get addicted if there is none to be be addicted with. lol. Anyway if you wanted to check the story here is the **link.** https://www.wattpad.com/story/141752606?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=lymalay&wp_originator=uJ0wBcgzU4SDh2GFcyniHiKSgwaDFS65l5gJ7R%2BWjpl88ey8felrGikQ%2FXbDEfZhEllXXrniUd%2BizK%2BeMVZ%2FCLrj5VCByrijYAbUvwocBVDj9DC%2FqghEA3uxR%2F2PdSdZ Have a good day! ***Thank you Dearest sponsors for choosing to stay and support me!

Puto lanson ( Cassava Rice Cake?) I am not sure if this is what others called these but in our local dialect, it's "puto lanson". Cassava is the made ingredient thus added some sugar and margarine on top or some coconut jelly. This is one of my favorite native delicacies and my late grandma is fond of cooking this. I always assisted her, and it was kind of tiring for a kid. Manually grating cassava plus drying by squeezing using a piece of cloth is not a joke. Yet, the effort was worth it once already cooked. Best to go with a cup of coffee.
@Lhes
What's inside my Backpack? It's been weeks since the last time I visited my in-laws in Batangas. Oh, not weeks but more than a month. I think it was last August if my memory was correct. So just like the weekend, I went home to give my Pasalubong (*Piyaya's and toasted mamon*) and, of course, check our house. I was on vacation when the wall painting started so that I couldn't supervise. My brother-in-law only sent me a photo after. I was delighted upon receiving this photo, and I even posted it in "Myday." Yes, just in my day, my husband doesn't want me to upload such a thing on Facebook. What's more, I tagged him; he was a private type of person that believed such things should be kept confidential. Hehe, if you check his Facebook, all photos are tags. He doesn't post except sharing online mass or short videos' of homilies. See, my man was so *mabait*. I left our dorm early as I also bought some of my things. It was heavy, so I told my husband to inform his younger brother to fetch me at the terminal using a motorcycle. Sadly, there was heavy traffic due to a road accident which made my travel almost four hours. That made me feel a bit guilty as hubby was supposed to sleep at 9 in the morning (he is working the night shift). Yet, since he wanted to ensure I arrived home safely, he chose to stay awake. He was always like that. Honestly, throughout our relationship, he is always the one giving more. We may get misunderstanding sometimes, but it was only because of my whims. So back to our house, I forgot to take pictures as much as I wanted to share some photos. What I had is a video tour which I can't share here. During the weekend, I spent it buying basic things I needed, like a mattress, pillows, basins, and other things. Shopping for it is more satisfying rather than buying clothes. The joy I felt was different. I realized that while lying on our bed after a tiring day. Yes, beds in hotels are nice, but nothing could beat the comforts of your own. The idea that finally, after long years, we have ours. That I could finally sleep and wake up anytime, I wanted. I have been staying with my in-laws since 2018, and even though we have a good relationship, I am still not that easy. ============================================================ Sunday, after eating a delicious lunch, sister-in-law cooked sinigang. This is why I love visiting them. I never get starved as they are all good in the cooking department. All I needed was to tell them what I wanted. Hahaha, isn't it nice? So I was preparing my things when mother-in-law told me to bring these as my backpack was already empty. Haha, it's one bunch of bananas, three pieces of dragon fruits, and morcon! Yes, not only one of two bananas but one bunch. Those dragon fruits might be only three pieces, but it was big—almost two kilos. I thought it was heavy, but before I opened my mouth to speak, she had already prepared it. So going back into the city, this was inside my backpack. Won't believe me? Take a look. Yes, it was heavy, but she reasoned out that I would ride a bus. She also added that these fruits have a lot of health benefits. Plus, the Morcon ( like embotido but instead of foil, banana leaves were used) was cooked by her son. So yeah, how can I refuse these? Isn't supposed to consider this a blessing? Aside from the thought, I can save some pennies as I no longer need to buy some fruits for days. Plus, one meal was saved! I just took my backpack and bid goodbye to them with that idea. I usually spend almost $1 a day for fruits, and since on Monday? I already saved $3. haha. Still have some dragon fruits. I will be going home again this month end . Long weekend due to holiday. I was thinking if I will going bring my backpack or not? What do you think? I might bought some veggies back to city this time. ***Thank you Dearest sponsors for choosing to stay and support me!

@Lhes
The reason of my inactivity. Hello Read cash fam! It's been a while again...hayy, I know that is how I started my blog too weeks ago.. I was less inactive since I went for vacation. When I go back in the city and resumed work, one week is not enough to finish a month piled up work. My Boss even told me that she no longer wanted to relieve and handle some of my workloads😂. So, if I am planning again for a long vacation, I should look for an official reliever😂.. Hehe, my work was really time consuming and the same time stressful. Since last week I felt so drain that all I did was to collapse on my bed after work! It was so tiring, not physically though. Just last week, after I finalized my report for my spot visit in our outlet in Bacolod, can't help to feel sad and worried. We had several issues or let us say discrepancies/unremitted cash collection in some of our stores. It was not only a thousand in peso but as of the last time we recon? It's Millions. I and my Boss ( group lead) were not happy about it as we are in Risk Management Section. Supposedly, we ensure the compliance all stores. Thus, due to lack of resources and skeletal work force? The risk was high! Ended up this! Honestly? It was so frustrating in our part. It came to a point that I edited the footnote in my report and change it into " Finance Group" instead of " Risk Management and Control". Why? I felt I failed! I failed to safeguard the company's assets. As a matter of fact one of my team was accountable too! There were Material amount of money that remains unsupported by deposit slips. When I contacted him, he insisted that all cash were deposited. Yet, no matter how long I stared at the bank statement it wasn't! As his immediate supervisor? Frustrating is understatement. I even asked myself if I am a good leader.. Maybe I lack in some point and forget to ask if they are still okay? If how's life and how they survive this pandemic? If, i kept on monitoring them, him maybe he didn't commit that? 🥺🥺. I was anxious after I sent my report and even asked my Boss if I still have a work the next day😂. Thankful I still had though😂. I was thinking the VP mighy fire me. So I just make myself busy validating remittances.. Buried myself maybe the reason I got sick. It only allergies that was triggered, but got a runny nose and fever after. Wooo! A day before I got sick, I just checked some documents ( sales journal and invoice) sent from our branches for the BIR Audits. Since it was for the year 2020, the documents smelled not so nice. Or maybe only for me? It lingers my nostrills and just a few minutes I was already sneezing! My officemates even called my attention as HR is strict when it comes to Covid symtomps. (We are not allowed to report at work of we have colds). I told them it was only allergies. I was hoping I would feel better the at night but the opposite happened. I got a fever and hoarsed voice. What I did,.took bioflu after eating my breakfast the next day but drank coffee after insted of water. Was it effective? I think! Haha ,.somehow felt better. As of the writing, I am better. Unlike last night no matter how I wanted to stay awake I can't. My eyelids keeps on dropping and the next time , I fell asleep. Wake up with the sound of alarm at five in the morning. (Forgot to turn it off). Should I say, hoping I am totally okay tomorrow? That's all for today and thanks.for dropping by Write this using my phone so please pardon my grammr if any.
@Lhes
Hello guys, It's been a while, as much as I wanted to stay active here, I can't🥺. One week is not enough to finish one month backlog since I took a long vacation. Just yesterday, I was checking documents sent from our branches for the BIR audit. You know the scent of old papers that was.kept for years?? Yes I was wearing a face mask but it still lingered in my nose! Just in a span of minutes, I kept on sneezing and now got a runny nose. My voice was hoarse😂.. Yet , I was secretly laughing earlier. Took medicine but with a coffee instead of water..😂😂. Ahhh, am I crazy😂
@Lhes
A place to visit in Iloilo. Hello, read cash, fam! It's been a while. These days I can hardly find time to write for two reasons; first, I went on a vacation in the countryside, and I was having a hard time with the internet connection. Second, I got so busy during the break and went back to work last Monday. I piled up work due to my absence, and I did some paper works yesterday here at home though I am not at work. Hehe, not that I am a workaholic, but I didn't have a choice as it was badly needed. Thus, now that I have spare time until maybe twilight, let me share with you some of the places I went to in Iloilo. One of the places I visited was Molo District, known because of the church built last **1831** and was recognized as a "Women's church." The patron was Saint Anne, and the other featured saint's images were all female. It was designed with an overpowering Gothic style and showed Romanesque characteristics and types.

I was also having a hard time taking a full-view picture as it was beside the road, vehicles are passing by. So I roamed around the town plaza only a few walks away. It was also declared as National historical site under NHCP. I noticed it seemed newly renovated, too, and the theme was white. Statues and even benches are painted in the same colors. There are also some religious people on the other side of the plaza trying to approach some passers-by hoping that someone might spare them attention. My country, the Philippines, has several religions though 80% are Roman Catholics. Thus, every religion has different ways of spreading the Gospel. On the other side, groups of teenagers, families, or friends were sitting on the benches and having chitchats or letting their kids play. The weather might be humid, but growing trees planted around it helps to give a fresh feeling. You need to cross a road from the church. Hence, several small businesses existed before the pandemic, from food to souvenirs and even thrift items. Thus when the pandemic happened and followed by restoration, none of them was left, which is good when it comes to the physical appearance of the plaza. It was more expansive and clean now. Besides, a mall (Robinson's) is just a few walks away here, not to mention several restaurants. When I satisfied myself by saturating the place, and I got starved, I decided to look for food to eat. There were food kiosks, but these caught my attention. The food stand's name was " Sa Poste" with a tagline " Kaon, inom kag mag move on " ( eat, drink and move on). A witty statement, but that was only the secondary reason why. It was the crew. As you can see, he was a PWD, yet it didn't stop him from earning money. He was still a young and handsome guy. By his looks, maybe he was only in his twenties. So shame on those who choose to earn money by doing evil things. Can't you be like this guy? Though, I am sorry but I didn't buy food in there. I don't like the food as I was looking for a soup. What they sell seemed like comfort foods, lol. Bad for my health. Char! I was just starving and I wanted something solid that will satisfy my stomach. Eventhough I was alone still I enjoy as I was already used too. After having a delicious meal, I leave the place as proceed to my next destination. It was like, having a tour.

"Why it is Better to live in the City Sometimes." ***Lead image edited using canva -*** ***Source*** https://unsplash.com/photos/vCTi5vijEy4 We know that there are several advantages and disadvantages to living in the City rather than in the countryside. Top on this is you have access to everything without traveling too far. No food for a meal? Fast food chains are usually minutes away, and there are even many canteens or what we could "turo-turo" in our dialect. You will not be deprived of what you want if you have a budget and can afford it. Thus above all of these, what I like in the City is "***no one cares***." https://www.google.com/search?q=turo+turo&sxsrf=ALiCzsbnXp2XlHF6NLmDMoVQxfNlLAQeCw:1664967460916&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi38MeQ98j6AhVGVPUHHebOBqcQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&cshid=1664967467485622&biw=1280&bih=609&dpr=1.5 Perhaps you are wondering why I love it; let me explain. If you live in the countryside, I know you are aware of the existence of " HUMAN CCTV." Those who seemed not busy aside from minding their neighbor's business. Then when they noticed that their neighbors started doing better, they became anxious and started thinking about how to drag them down again. Crab mentality! Why am I suddenly talking about this? I just got fed up with our neighbor the last time I was on vacation. As I have mentioned in my previous articles, our life was so hard back then. My parents don't have a stable source of income, and I have seven siblings. We are always scarce with everything, even basic needs. I think that was one of the reasons I was so thin back then: I had nothing to eat most of the time. Our house was not even decent to the point that we constantly got mocked by our beloved neighbors, who, most of them, were distant relatives. I will never forget those hurtful words they threw at us, especially for calling my Mother too ambitious just because she sent us to school no matter how hard it was. ***Thus, just like an old saying, the world is round and keeps on revolving. You might be on top by now, yet who knows, the next time you wake up, you are now at the BOTTOM!*** As time passed and we finished our studies, we got a decent jobs. Life has improved, and we always try to give our best to our parents. Not that we are now RICH, safe to say we could now afford to put a decent meal on our table and got a good HOME! That is when neighbors again started to do some stup!d sh!ts. Last month, my Mother informed us that the company providing water in our province started to start a project in our place. (We are still using deep well). Since we are far from the starting point, we already expect a budget for it. However, we didn't expect that the neighbor who happened to be my Father's cousin, would not allow us to pass by on her land. I mean the hose from the primary water source going at our house. Let us call her Aunt San. This bothers me as it won't cause an inconvenience for them as the water hose will be buried in the ground. Plus they are not using that area as their house was built in another place ( literal nakatiwangwang). That left us no choice but to detour, which added another 100meters away. This means we need to buy a 600-meter long water hose, and that already cause around P15,000 or $255. With that, we cannot pursue our application due to financial issues. We are still saving for it. Then, last weekend before I went back to Manila, my sister and I dropped by in home appliances in our province. That was because my Mom asked me when I gona buy a sala set for our house. Good thing my sister agreed to share some pennies for it. What we purchased was not expensive, just a simple L-type set. *That is my Father wearing a pink polo shirt. See how happy he is? Though I am not, as it broke my wallet, lol. (nevermind the mess)* See? There is nothing to be envious of. It was not an expensive sofa. Yet, just an hour after it was delivered to our house, my sister informed me that Aunt San had put a fence on her property where vehicle going to our house passed by! OMG! I felt my blood go up into my head! Yes, I know they OWNED it but can't they first inform us? ***Manner ba manners.!*** Besides, that was the road everyone was passing by since the day I learned how to walk. What was left was just a tiny trail which is muddy, and only a motorcycle could pass. I would understand if they will be using it but NO! A friend even overheard them laughing. They intended to do that for us. This scenario makes me believe that "*BLOOD is no longer thicker than WATER*". As I have mentioned earlier, she is my Father's cousin. I think they never treated us because if they did , her son would not harass me. Though it happened during my teenage years, I will never forget that day! If you happened to read my blog before; *Don't be naïve, don't trust easily*. I am Leticia. https://read.cash/@Lhes/dont-be-naive-dont-trust-easily-c0cd0f4c I was in a rage and almost sold the BCH I am holding so that we could pursue our water application to show off and trigger them. Good thing I was still in my senses. I was able to control my emotions, so I just told my sister's let them. Besides, it's their reputation will be tainted once the whole Barangay knows what they did. It won't take 24 hours. That is what I meant, why I sometimes better to live in the City. The neighbor doesn't care as long as it won't disturb them. That FAMILY Ties sometimes no longer exist in the countryside, but the "envious" is. Gone are the days when you felt having a big family in the community. Now? They are just watching your every move and waiting for the perfect timing to attack. They would be happy to see your downfall. Sorry for the rant again lol, I just saw my cousin's post in Facebook earlier so I remember about it. Flexing my sponsor's and wanna say thank you for renewing. Also to the newest one, @Pinkchic. ***Hello everyone from the Philippines.

Just like that, it seemed like my vacation was over in a snap of fingers, blinking of an eye! Why time flies so fast when we are enjoying the moment? How I wish I had that power to stop the clock's ticking. Is there anyone here who knows? I was pouring my sad thoughts while I was traveling back to Manila as I reached our dorm. Here is the link if you want to drop by. https://read.cash/@Lhes/vacation-is-over-back-to-reality-a2fe5d4c
@Lhes
"Vacation is Over, Back to Reality." Isn't a few weeks ago, I wrote that " There is no place like home? After a few days, I shared again "the advantage of staying at Home." Now, I was the reality slapped. Indeed vacation is over! I will be a hypocrite if I say I am okay as I am not. I got a heavy heart while traveling going to the airport earlier. It was really sad, but I didn't have a choice as I needed to work. Not unless I would win the jackpot in the lottery. I could have a vacation as long as I wanted. https://read.cash/@Lhes/there-is-no-place-like-home-1d61ca73 https://read.cash/@Lhes/the-advantage-of-staying-at-home-f137004e The airport was in Iloilo, so I traveled yesterday from Guimaras to avoid inconvenience. I chose to sit in the middle of the ferry, where there was an open space. As I looked into the sky, the clouds seemed heavy, and the sea water looked darker. I can't help but ask myself, was the weather the same as what I felt? The sea breeze, the swaying of the boat that seems to sink, and the shaky voices of some passengers felt fear. This year, this is my last experience. I couldn't sleep well last night because, maybe deep in my heart, I was bothered. Hayyyyyy! When I bid goodbye to my family, I know they are sad, especially my Mom. She even told me why I chose to work from them and even got married to someone who lives in a different region. Now, I can only visit them once a year. I left my sister's house early and arrived at the airport hours before my flight. Unlike in international airports, there were only a few passengers. I was standing on the second floor when I glanced at the "*drop bag*" sections. Saw a few people still lining up. *Who do you think of them who are just for business or leisure travel and will be away for a while?* Hours of waiting, and finally, we are called for boarding. Yet a grandma approached me and asked about my destination. I was initially hesitant to have a conversation with her as I am a little bit snob at the airport. Why? With several cases of people used as carriers of drugs, my paranoid mind was already thinking. The thought that anyone was carrying grams of "drugs" always lingers in my mind. However, I realized that we were already at the boarding area, so for sure belongings of Granny'swere checked. Silly of me. She was only asking a favor to go with me as it was her first time riding on a plane. She is unfamiliar with the process, especially in claiming her check-in baggage. I told her to wait for me after we landed in Manila as my seat was too far from her. When we were all settled, and the plane took off, this sight made my heart feel heavier. This is it, Pancit! No more turning back but rather moving forward and start accepting the reality. ***See? even the sky is sympathizing with me!*** I leaned on the chair, closed my eyes, and tried to sleep to divert my mind. Thankful I did, even though there was a little bit of turbulence. I was awakened only when the Captain announced we were about to land. ***FFinally, Hello again, Manila! Welcome back to me!*** I waited for Granny as she was sitting at the front (for seniors), yet the exit opened at the back. It was a few minutes before she finally got off the airplane. Since it landed and we used the stairs, the airport bus picked us up and brought us to the arrival area. As I assisted Granny, it surprised me that she was carrying a big duffle bag. OMG, she was already old and thin. I tried to help her to take her luggage but demn! It was heavy. I was supposed to place it above my suitcase, but I struggled to balance it. ***Granny insisted on carrying it like a shoulder bag, and the next thing happened just in a blink of an eye. She was already at the FLOOR!*** My GOD, she almost gave me a heart attack! I immediately helped her stand, pick up her luggage, and place it in mine, though it was hard. I was silently cursing her family. Yet, I was not in their shoes and didn't know why, so I better keep my mouth closed. At the arrival area, she saw her daughter waiting for her. She bid goodbye to me and thanked me for the help. The daughter took her luggage, which was funny as she also wanted to take mine. She thought it belonged to her Mom. I immediately leave them after. As of now, I just wrote this blog as an update as I am sure starting tomorrow is a busy day for me. Hey!

Vacation is almost over! Isn't it like the other day I posted I am on vacation? Now it is almost over as my flight will be tomorrow. I left our house earlier as the airport was in Iloilo; I will be sleeping in my sister's house to avoid inconvenience. I had already stepped outside when my Mom asked where is the "Sale set." ( cause I mentioned last week an idea of buying). I didn't expect she was expecting, lol. So, I don't have a choice but to drop by the Furniture sellers. Got us bankrupt, haha, yet seeing my Father's reaction? We can say it was worth it. I don't have a decent picture of her response, but she was happy too! "This is not to brag; I just wanted to share as our parents are already old. So as much as possible, we are trying our best to give the best for them".
@Lhes
Let me share you some "Gossips" It's been a while since I published at read cash as I was kinda busy and at the same time I was not motivated. Everything in this house was so chaos. Hehe, kids plus my Mom's full voice was enough reason for me to lost concentration. Anyway, here's my latest article, maybe you had time to drop by. https://read.cash/@Lhes/let-me-share-you-some-gossips-d1d5c7f3
@Lhes
Let me share you some "Gossips" Hello Read cash fam, it's been days since my last post here. When I checked, it was six days ago. I think this is the longest day of my absence. Not that it was my intention but I could hardly find time as well as motivation to write. Oh, I am demotivated but our house was so noisy that I could not concentrate. Since there were already face to face classes my Mom would wake up my nieces everyday early in the morning. You might say what is the big deal? Well if we are friends already you might know that my Mom is always in full volume. I was a light sleeper. I am usually up the moment she leaves the bed . I forgot to tell you that I slept beside my Mom. Hehe, besides from the fact that I missed her, this was the only available space. Our house only had four rooms and three were occupied by my sisters and their daughters. Which makes me joke about why I don't have a space at home. This is not an ancestral house but rather we built for our parents. I am 100% sure I paid my share for the expenses with my sisters and if my memory was right I spent more. That was because they always say I have more money compared to them as I don't yet have a child plus my husband is working abroad. If only they knew how I work hard to earn extra. Sometimes I slept until midnight just to write blogs and some engagements. Yes, my husband might be working abroad but I am not spending his income for my family expenses. I know it won't be an issue to him ,it is just me and maybe my pride, lol. So most of the time I am up as early as five in the morning. It was okay if I slept early the previous day but I didn't. My nephew was too energetic and he was always up until midnight. Weeewwww! Haha no I am not complaining, just sharing. Are you bored reading? Let me tell you something about ***Marites (gossip).*** The other day, I went into the public well to take a bath ( we don't have running water at home. We pay for someone to fetch water). Since I will be washing some of my used clothes , I choose to go in the well. When I arrived, I saw some neighbors washing clothes while having ***Marites sessions***. I didn't mind them as we are not friends, hehe kidding aside. I am not just fond of talking to others, unless I like them. I was minding my business when another lady arrived. Let us call her Jing. She brought along with her some containers to be filled. It was a normal scenario but what is not, she is crying. My inner Marites was already triggered but I didn't ask her as we are not closed, lol. Yet, the other ladies asked her what happened. With a shaky voice she answered. " ***Who wouldn't cry? Today is my birthday yet instead of greeting me, Jonh*** ( her live-in partner) ***beat me***". She got me there! I know her husband was always hurting her. I know that man he is currently living with. He doesn't look human to me but a DEMON! Let me tell you why. He was married but his wife left him because he was always hurting her. The mistake was that she didn't bring her daughter. Ended up being rape by her husband. Rumors say he got her daughter pregnant. ( the daughter already left our place). After that, he was also engage in murdering one of my sister's employee. That incident dragged my sister's name as the family of the victim claimed it was my sister's order. Forgot to mention but she was my sister's brother in law. You know what's worse? After my sister's paid the family victims for the damage, the guy and the man's wife ended up together. Can you imagined? I don't know if the wife is still thinking right. How could you have a relationship to someone who killed your husband not only in front of you but your children? Believe me, I wanna give her a big slapped! Years after, the man engage again into a killing incident involving her two sons. See? She was such ahhhh, I don't know how to describe her! When that guy was put into prison the lady confess that their are times, she was being assaulted sexually even in front of her daughters. It doesn't end up there but also he is **USING** them. That made me think how useless Mom she is! Why she let that guy ruin her daughter's life? I was so happy when I know that he was finally in jail. Thus it only last for a year. He was pleaded NOT GUILTY! Why? His son acknowledged that he was the culprit. I am referring not his step son but his OWN SON! Yes, he was with him but if you are the father how could you let that to happen? He robbed the chance of his son to have a normal life. The son is only 23 when during that incident. Now, when he is out in the prison, he stayed here in our Barrio. Started to flirt with Jing. The later was also gullible to believe aside from a I no longer wanted to say something. Well, Jing is a married woman and have four kids. The husband? Well an irresponsible one aside from being a drunkard. Okay, let us say she is already tired of her husband but why jumped into another relationship? What worst is with that MAN? Yes, the previous weeks she spent with him was great. He treated her well but after that? His true colors came out and now see what happened? She was like not only a servant and also a s3x slave. You might say I am such a Marites but hey! Our place is a Barrio and gossip/stories spreads like fire! She is sometimes talking to the neighbor while crying, even to my Mom that even though she is too tired HE would still USED her! Once she refused it would ended up into beating. Oh, the man gave her a choice! If she could no longer manage, she may get her daughter ( which is currently living with a neighbor) . Why? He reason out that maybe that kid have a strong stamina! Now, she is crying? I felt pity for her somehow but the back of my mind was saying that was her CHOICE! One of the Maritess told her, why not leave the guy? She can used that beating incident as an excuse! Her answer wanted me to give her a slap. Why? She doesn't wanted to leave the guy for one reason. She never get STARVED! What a stup!d. Can't she stretch her bones and work hard to feed herself? Good thing I was able to hold myself. I didn't dare to give a comment . I just rant to my Mom when I got home telling her how stup!d Jing is. You might asked why the guy wasn't sent to jail after series of rape issues? Well no one from the victim filed a case. We don't want to engage ourselves. I always told my Mom not to give a comment about it as we don't know what runs into his mind. The only consolation I know is he won't do something bad to my family. Why? I just know, my connection say so! Besides he know he won't get away with it. Sorry for the negativities, it is just I saw the man earlier when I went into my sister's house. Memories of his deeds, flashed on my mind. Hey!
