"What's your Shade?"
*The other day I wrote an* ***article*** *that not all the time it's all about Beauty. As people always say, physical appearance changes as we grow old. Time will come when our skin will have wrinkles and that beauty we have would eventually fade.* https://read.cash/@Lhes/its-not-always-all-about-beauty-52ccfb97
YET, while it is not let us talk first one of the many ways how to enhance thy beauty. Aside from surgery? Well there is what they called " ***the power of makeup***". I have watched numerous videos on YouTube and I was so amazed how the model turns into a gorgeous lady from a dull face. If the makeup artist is good I can say the problem is SOLVED.
Even I noticed that there is a big difference sometimes if a woman is wearing make- up compared to their bare face. I know some friends that are not confident if they don't apply a lot of " colors" on their faces. One of my officemates before always had a spare lip balm in her pocket. Which I didn't understand not until I saw her bare face, lol. She is still pretty but I let us say she is "MORE" when have it.
One time one of my male friends told me that he was courting a certain lady before because he found her beautiful. He was also confident that the lady would definitely accept him. Not until he invited her into a party. Hehe guess what? It was a swimming party! He looks so funny while telling me how disappointed he was when she saw her bare face for the first time. Do I need to tell why? I just laughed at him. That's what he gets from being so PARTICULAR with physical appearance.
Well I could indeed not deny how makeup works nowadays. It was like a " FILTER" on our mobile phone. Can give a makeover instant. Aside from that it could help if you wanted to portray a certain character or personality. HOW?
First I am not good at makeup so please bear with me. However, aside from Mickey Mouse, the other thing that I am addicted to is lipstick. Just the other day I passed by the mall and OMG. I wasn't able to resist the temptation. I bought these lipstick.
***Yes I was referring to lipstick. These alone can already help to add something on the aura.***
I chose the shade of lipstick to wear either based on the mood of the person I am with. For example if I am with my family I would choose natural or nude colors. Why? Simply, I don't want to look old. I am not sure if it's only me but the darker shade of lipstick makes me look older.
However if I am at work I choose darker shade especially if there is a group or National meeting ( before pandemic). It is because I wanted to look older. Most of my peers at the office are all officers ( coordinators of different positions at the branch). Yes they are handling a team which are all dispatched in all our stores.
In some instances that I am required to attend National meetings or training of branch staff I never wear light colored lipstick. It is because I don't want them to think that I am still young for the work I am handling. You know they might think I am inexperienced.
I could say somehow it works as sometimes I felt they are hesitant to ask me, lol. Sometimes my brows is automatically raising.
***NOW?***
***I feel that I am getting older so I prefer to wear nude colors. Hahaha.***
Shemay! All pictures were taken this week. Four photos, Monday to Thursday. Different shades of lipstick per day.
***Hmm, I can say that NUD3 color is my shade now. I like it better, just excuse my haggard face. Compared to the second photo? EHHH, I look old. Well am I in the first place. No more baby faces!***
***What about you? What is your favorite shade?***
Holla read cash fam. Apology again for not visiting your articles. I wasn't able to visit my account last night as my arms hurt as well as my eyes. Just tired from work . So I just chose to rest early.
Hehe I always believe in health is wealth and hubby is not here to take care of me. So I don't like the feeling of getting sick. With that every time I felt I am not feeling well I chose not to engage with anything.
That's all for tonight and have a nice day.

"It's not always about beauty"
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yet let's us face it, not all the time. As sometimes we are treated depends in our " Face value"😂😂.
In social media most of the times those who have pretty faces have many followers or views.
Not until I stumbled into video reels of certain Ms. Jessa...
All I say was, WOW! What a confidence she got😆😁😁
https://read.cash/@Lhes/its-not-always-all-about-beauty-52ccfb97
I happened to drop by at SM yesterday and saw that this brand of lipstick was on sale.
You know, another thing that I am into with aside from Mickey was lipstick😂.
So yeah, I wasn't able to resist that temptation and I bought 2pieces,LMAO!
" It's Not Always All About Beauty".
I was feeling grumpy the other day because my stomach still hurts like someone is squeezing it from the inside. Though I only feel it from the time I am planning not to report at work but then I remember every 20th of the month. It is my busy day. It was 5th, 10th, 20th and 25th to be exact. I know my Boss would not allow me as they also have some deadline in filing Tax. So being a mere employee, Ms. Lhes as they call me at work doesn't have a choice but "***to work or to work***"?
While I was preparing myself you know some girly stuff, I noticed that the pimples I got from my last trip were almost gone and the marks are slowly fading. The prized I got from eating eggs, chicken and fish at the same time. You know it's hard to resist yummy foods. That was always my routine. Still eating those foods that I am allergic then I would just regret after while taking some medicines. I would promised to myself not to eat next time. You think I did? Of course not. I am always tempted.
*That's the result of eating only pork and veggies for a month. My face is already clearer, lol!*
You know how those pimples could give insecurities sometimes and yes I am only a human who felt that too. Especially today that there are times that people would treat you based on " FACE VALUE" as they say.
===============================================================
Work goes the same as before, talking to some clients and attending branch concerns till lunchtime.
I was just browsing on Facebook while eating until I accidentally watched this reel of a certain ***Ms. Jessa Dahl.*** I wasn't able to control myself and I burst into laughter. Who wouldn't consider her looks yet she had the guts to dance in front of the camera.
***FB POST***
https://www.facebook.com/reel/727522008394816?fs=e&s=cl
***DISCLAIMER: I am not shaming her or trying to make her a laughingstock. I actually admire her CONFIDENCE!***
She even wears sexy outfits, even a two piece swimsuit while dancing. Maybe you would ask is she a good dancer or sexy? I would just say xoxo.
Yet it doesn't bother her! She dances with all her heart and even while having wacky expressions.
We all know how some people become desperate in changing their physical looks just to fit themselves into the " STANDARD BEAUTY". Others may get what they desire as they have enough money. Yet to those who were trying too with only a limited budget in their hands just make their physical looks worse.
Even some celebrities' we are looking up are products of "Thank you Doctor". I am not against it. That's their choice to enhance what God gave to them. I would be a hypocrite if I say it never crossed my mind. Of course it did, lol!
So back to Ms. Jessa, I wasn't surprised upon seeing her videos actually had millions of views ( one of her videos has 16M views). Maybe you would say WOW!
**Well she is a perfect example of not all the time it's all about beauty.**
Social media is not only for pretty faces, you only need to have that content that would be " SWAK" or would give the audience an entertainment. Especially now that most are facing a crisis, someone like her would be a great help to spread good vibes.
RIGHT?
Tomorrow is already Wednesday, we are almost in the middle of the week. Which made me realize we are almost in MID of June and MID of Year 2022.
So before I end my article tonight, let me ask you. How was your 2022 so far?
**08:35PM**

***LHES***
Since my stomach was upset last weekend I decided to buy an apple at the supermarket. I bought some groceries supplies too.
Just give it to the staff to put a prize without checking. Yet I was surprised when I pay it at the counter that it cost $1.27😂😂. Yeah just one piece.
Feeling ko na budol ako!
My officemate was teasing me last week that I am really getting fat😬.
You know it's was easy to say I will be on diet but everytime I saw food I forgot about it,lol!
So for today, I woke up early to prepare food for my lunch..Here it is, I may not be a good cook but somehow it's edible😆😆
" The Struggles of having and OFW Better Half".
" Her husband is working abroad (OFW - Overseas Filipino Worker) for sure she has money".
Not only once I heard this comment not only for me but also to those whose spouse are working abroad. Some people even thought that our life was easy or like we are enjoying it. Some would even say " Sarap naman buhay, chill - chill lng habang nag - aantay padala" ( Just enjoying life and waiting for remittance ).
Well that was indeed a FAKE news, FAKE assumption. I will tell you guys having a better half who is an OFW is not that EASY as some people thought. Yes, we might not have a problem when it comes to the financial aspect but not all the time only money matters.

***Sometimes we have some struggles to like;***
*****You will always find yourself celebrating special occasions ALONE.*****
Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines day, etc. name it, others might happily celebrate with their loved ones but US? We sometimes opted to celebrate it alone or not to celebrate at all.
I remember last Christmas I spent it with my in -laws. On Christmas eve, I saw that all my sister in laws were busy with their own families. You know the usual greetings. I? Just there, feeling alone, lol! Though I pretended I was happy, deep inside I am not.
Just the same scenario if I spend it with my family too in the province. My sisters are always busy with their own family too everytime there is a special occasion at home. The sad part is during the picture taking with family (wives/husbands and kids)..Ehhhh I am just alone in the photo, lol!
Birthdays? Naaa, seems ordinary to me. I am not fond of celebrating my birthday. It was even hidden on my Facebook. It was only my husband who celebrated and though he is miles away, he managed to send me a gift.
*Of course this goes with a birthday cake! A gift during my birthday last 2020. Ahmm last year? I told him not to bother sending me a gift again like this cause it's quite expensive. We rather used it to pay for the labor of our dream house.*
*****You have no one to hug, talk and shoulder to lean on in times of trouble.*****
Not all the time the ship of our life sailed smoothly. There are times we encounter waves which make us worried or scared. During this time, whom are you going to run to? Yes we have families, but sometimes they are also busy with their personal lives with their own family, same goes with our friends. You might say we have a God to talk to. Yes of course I know but there are also instances that we need that warm tight hug from our better half. Just that powerful one!
Yet if he/she is not by your side you have no choice but to be strong and survive it by yourself. I don't know about others but as for me I don't want to bother my husband with my problems or issues as long as I can handle it. He is far away with no relatives in a foreign country so as much as possible I don't want him to worry. What I usually tell him are just happy thoughts.
*****You are prone to temptation.*****
How many stories of broken relationships have you heard just because the other one chose to work abroad? Not only one, two but many. If you haven't to all my Filipino friends here, try watching Tulfo.. Haha a lot of complainants there are husbands/wife of an OFW who had a 3rd party. Not the OFW but sometimes their partner that was left here in the country.
Before I was wondering why these things happened. Why do these people cheat their partner? However when I became one of them I did understand.
For the part of an OFW homesick strikes them. They felt sad and lonely, especially during the adjustment period. Then it happened that there was someone who showed "CARE" to them. That's the problem. They fall, maybe because they are vulnerable.
Same goes with the one left here in the country. When you are used to having your wife/husband always by your side taking care of you. Then suddenly you have no one too? Of course you will be missing it.
In that case some find it to someone they knew and that's it. They are TEMPTED and CHEATING happens.
Not only that, but sometimes being a woman who was left you became a target of some, how would I address these types of men?
This is my personal experience, not that he directly offered to me but I have this officemate who somehow shows interest in me. Of course I am not that dumb, I can read between the lines. Maybe he thought since my husband isn't here I am longing to have s3x! He's been hitting on me several times and honestly there are times I wanna smash his head! How dare he!
There are so many struggles for having an OFW better half but for me this is the hardest!
Anyone here who can relate?
Weekend is almost done and I haven't enjoyed it as I am sick since yesterday. Though I know longer stay in bed, my stomach still hurts. I even lost my appetite. I haven't eaten a decent meal since Saturday, OMG! ***Papayat na ba ako? LOL!***

"The Difference of Having a Brother and Sister".
Siblings were indeed a blessing. I know some friends who happened to be an only child that expressed their thoughts of not having a sibling. As they say they might be an advantage as for sure all the love of their parents yet they felt sad sometimes. They don't have someone with them whom they can really trust. I mean nowadays? Even a close friend will betray you.
The reason why I consider myself lucky for having brothers and sisters whom I know would always be on my back no matter what will happen. That's how our parents raised us.

Even a close friend will betray you.
The reason why I consider myself lucky for having brothers and sisters whom I know would always be on my back no matter what will happen. That's how our parents raised us.
To those who don't have a brother might ask how does it feel to have one? For me? It was great! You always felt safe. Though siblings fighting was normal.
I think I had mentioned in my previous post that I grew up always tailing my older brother. My sister who is next to me was so brat that is why we don't get along when we are kids until the teenage stage.
My brother was my savior especially during those days that I experienced bullying. Every time someone would hurt me either verbally or physically the first word I would say is " ***I will tell my brother about this***". Of course I am confident my brother will be on my side and will fight for me. He has never failed me so far.
I remembered the first time I experienced a heartbreak. He was so mad to my ex for making me cry. He was supposed to go to my ex school as he really wanted to punch him,,lol! Good thing I was able to persuade him as I don't want him involved in a mess.
***That's it, having a brother you will always feel safe and always have someone to run too.***
***What about having a sister (s)?***
Hehe, I only have two brothers and five sisters. Yep we are a big family, lol!
I don't have a favorite among all my sisters, I treated them all the same. We are all close and we treated each other as friends. That's when we are no longer teenagers. What about when we are kids? Of course we fight too.
So was it having one? Well all I can do is be prepared and expect that your closet will always be " RAID". Most of us have the same body figures and sizes. Oftentimes my sisters, especially when I am staying with them, would always check my things, clothes, shoes, bags and other girly things. You know the feeling that you sleep already, picture out what to wear the next day only to be disappointed. Why? My sister already took it. Yes I don rant sometimes but they just laughed at me.
I even experienced one time when I bought a dress and you know what happened? I wasn't able to wear it as my sister wore it first. " ***Ako bumili iba nagsuot***".
Even up to now when I go home for vacation I always go back to the city with only a few things with me. You know what happened. Yes it was annoying sometimes but I can't say no to them. I think that's the disadvantage of having sisters. Anyone can relate?
Before I forget of course you have your bestfriend, a critic and an adviser.
Friends may sugarcoat if you ask for advice sometimes but believe me a sister won't. ***Most of the time they would slap you with the truth! Am I right? They won't stop until you wake up from reality.***
***What about you? How does it feel having a bother and sister?***
Hello everyone, how's your weekend so far? Pardon me for not visiting your article since last night. I felt sick again. Yeah I noticed that too I always got sick this year. I don't know why I drink vitamins and always eat on time.
I was thinking maybe because of the vaccine against Covid. Seriously since I got my booster shots I am always sick. Now some were already having their second booster and me? I don't have a plan as long as it won't be required. It will take me I think two weeks before I fully recover. How about you?
***08:26 PM***

My officemate/friend sent me DM asking about how long could I file for a leave.. I thought she is planning to file but I was surprised as she refers to me😂.
She's planning to visit their rest house in Dumaguete .
I just need to pay for my plane ticket and other expenses will be hers.
Not only that, our friend at Dumaguete even told me we can go and explore Siquijor...OMG! That was tempting😳😳
"Dear EX - What Happened?"
EX - just a two letter word but a powerful one that can bring different emotions upon hearing. It could be a negative like pain, sorrow or even anger. Though there are few that upon remembering can't help but to put a smile on their lips. Perhaps they remember those good old days.
Oh wait, the EX I am referring to is EX- lover. Yes your former boyfriend/girlfriend or even spouse. That someone who makes you feel what is LOVE. DO YOU HAVE ONE?
Just the other day I stumbled into @charmingcherry08 article which tackles things she would like to say to her EX. I've been planning to write one several months ago and I think this is the right time.

So;
**Dear EX,**
It's been a long time since we haven't seen each other, if my memory is right it's been a decade. Though we are just living in one province our path didn't cross. I don't know if I should be thankful ,LOL. I actually write this letter even I know you won't read is because I just wanted to say;
***What happened?*** Years ago I was really wondering what happened on those days we are apart and why you suddenly turned cold.
I was confident and I have never doubted your love for me since the day one of our relationship. Why would I? We were bestfriends since I don't know when it started so we already know each other. I know that you are such a boyfriend material and not a typical man who is fuck!ng around.
My classmates and even our Professors are rooting for us and we are even tagged as perfect couples at school. When you started your teaching career I can't help but to be proud of you. Still no matter how busy you are, never fail to spend time with me.
During my graduation day, though you were so busy at work preparing for commencement exercises of your student, you still didn't disappoint me. Thank you for making me feel so special that day. I can see how your eyes sparkle while I am walking up to the stage to get my diploma. I know you were so proud of me! I was even teased by my classmates and even teachers.
Our families were even okay and they are already expecting us to end up together. My younger sister adores you so much and set her standard to have a boyfriend like you.
Yet things changed when I decided to work here at Manila and you started to level up your career and teach in one of the biggest universities in the city. You suddenly turn cold, ignore my calls and texts. You always reason out that you are busy with this and that. Yes I understand being a teacher and pursuing your master's degree was not easy. However I was just surprised to see one day that your relationship status in Facebook was already SINGLE from being in a relationship. What a nice way of breaking up with me. When I called you told me that our relationship was no longer okay as you can't stand to be in an LDR.
***I don't understand why? I even asked myself what happened? Can you please tell me what happened?***
===============================================================
I wrote this letter not because I am not yet over my EX. It is just I was wondering for years though he told me some of his sh!ts reasons.
Not until last 2019 when he decided to unblocked me on Facebook and contacted me. He did ask for an apology though I am not sure if he is sincere as I felt like he is bragging about his so -called " SUCCESS". He swore there was no 3rd party that time and also added that he already had a girlfriend and it was the girl who pushed him to contact me for the " CLOSURE" thing since as per him he always tells her GF about me.
He told me he just got tired of being in an LDR and that actions were somehow intentional as he wanted me to go home. EHHH, why didn't he tell me directly? This is one of the problems of having a smart partner. They think differently without thinking that not all have the same assumptions.
***So partly it was also a miscommunication as our minds did not meet, LOL.***
As of now he is already married and had a cute baby girl. Sometimes when I saw his daughter's picture on Facebook I wanted to pinch her face.. Kagigil eh!
*We are okay after we talk but we don't have communication. I don't think it is necessary. We are no longer best friends..*
So how's everyone? I just woke up while writing this article as I am unable to work today. I mean I went to the office early in the morning but I felt unwell so I decided to go home. Just the usual ladies problem (PMS). Yet I could no longer bear the pain, my vision was getting blurry and my hands were even shaking. I don't want to embarrass myself in case I faint, lol.
That's for today and have a nice day.

10 Facts about me
This what I love in read cash, in times of writer's block you opt into writing a prompt.
I had read several articles about "some facts about them" so I decided to write mine.
Below is the link if you happen to have time..hehe I you will know me better.
https://read.cash/@Lhes/10-facts-about-me-5b7ec5c6
"10 Facts About Me".
Few days ago I read @ARTicLEE published article about **30facts about him** and earlier I also read @Eunoia version. So I was thinking why not write my own version too. Ahmm, this is what I actually like in reading topics like this. I got a chance to know more about the author. https://read.cash/@ARTicLEE/30-facts-about-me-2415b2b6
Everyone has a different attitude, gestures, and upbringing that may contribute to what we are now. Also I do believe no one don't had a negative attitude as no one is perfect, hehe. So don't be surprised if you read some negative traits of me here. Ehhh, that's me.
***I am picky when it comes to food***. I don't just eat wherever, like in a small canteen, especially when I am new to a place. If you know me, maybe you already had an idea. I have a lot of allergies when it comes to food which I got from my Father. It's not only me but some of my siblings. So I prefer to go to fast food not because of my ***" kaartehan"*** but because I am just cautious. Who knows the food might contain some ingredients which are forbidden for me?
Another reason was, I grew up in the countryside and my Grandma believed in **" ASWANG"**. She always reminds me not to eat in unfamiliar places. Who knows if they are aswang. If that's the case, only two things will happen, either I will be an aswang too or I'll be a victim.
***I may be a woman but I am not feminine.*** I grew up always tailing my brother. My younger sister and I didn't go along when we were kids. So I think I imitated some of my brother's gestures. Though I learned how to act like a fine lady, hehe because of my work. Still if not work related you can't see me wearing a dress or skirts. I prefer pants, shorts, t-shirts and sneakers.
Picture was taken last Sunday during the epic event, lol!
***I don't wear perfumes as well as I don't use deodorant.*** I prefer natural scent, kidding. I am just saving myself from allergy attacks and perfume could trigger. As for the deo, based on my experience it can make underarms darken rather than whiten. We ladies have different skin types so don't just believe in ads.
***I hate arguments and I don't want to involve myself either.*** I grew up always hearing my parents fighting verbally, having arguments early in the morning or even late at night. I can say I am already fed up so my mood easily changes when I witness an argument. It was so irritating and if I could no longer bear hearing, I would walk out.
***I don't talk when I am mad.*** Relative to number 4, since I don't like arguments I prefer not to talk when I am mad. Why? I got a sharp tongue. I might say something below the belt that I might regret after. Aside from that I had a tendency to lose myself when I am in rage, when I am into heated arguments. This was one of the attitudes of my Father that I got. I might hit someone physically and when I started, it would be hard for me to stop.
It happened once during my teenage years when I involved myself into a heated argument with my brother. Since both of us have the same attitude we really hurt each other physically. Of course I lost, how can I win the fight against my big bro? I even got a bruised lips plus black eyes. I only felt hurt after our fight. NO! I felt I was so strong and he was just small like and I could make him fall into the ground in just one kick. Hahaha the opposite actually happened.
***I am impatient and I easily get mad.*** Once I am done giving instructions or I already answer a question I hate it when someone would ask me over and over again.
***I have a long patience.*** You might say it contradicts number 6. Hahah I just got mad but my heart couldn't take it to say no. I would just take a deep breath and start again.
Not only that, if someone did something bad to me, I am now mature enough to let go of things. I won't take action against it, I will still be good to you. I'm gonna kill you with my kindness. BUT, once I am fed up. Just wait for my turn,lol. Though I can still forgive but I never FORGET! I have a sharp memory of history.
***Promises and words of honor are important to me.*** I am the type of person that once I say it, I'll do it. You can hold my word. That is why I don't like it when someone promises me this and that yet wasn't able to fulfill. I maybe didn't say anything but that doesn't mean I forgot. It is all listed in my memory..
***Family oriented***. Time will come when friends might turn back in times of trouble but I know family won't. So above all family always matters to me. It is my number one priority.
***Soft hearted.*** I am often judged as a snob " maldita" but deep inside I have a soft heart. I always find it hard to say "NO" when someone is in need. I felt guilty when I didn't extend help when I knew that I can actually.
I just listed at least ten, maybe I will write again next time or maybe not. How's everyone? I was not so active yesterday here at reading cash. I was busy with some life. HAHA not that busy actually, I just got hooked again in the novel I am reading.
So that's all for today and have a nice day!

Can't help but to felt sad when I saw the BCH current price as of today...
I've been in noise cash for a year and so far this is the lowest prize...
What's happening?
Excited for the event buy turns out Epic
I think it was the other month when I shared that my friend was wanting to fulfill her bucket list for this year and that was to witness the hot air balloon. I, being supportive , agreed to go with her to Pampanga for the incoming " Food & Music Festival _ Hot air balloon display and night glow". We bought a ticket and even booked a condotel near the place for our convenience
Sad to say my expectation was too far from reality, I felt I only wasted not only my time but also money. I just tired myself!

We chose the second day celebration which was last Saturday, June 11, 2022. The reason why I was inactive was because I was going to Pampanga and it was supposed to be two hours only. Yet we didn't expect that long queue of passengers at the bus terminal. We arrived at 9AM and it was already 11 in the morning and we were still in line. The weather was so humid and we were already sweating. We ended up renting a carpool though the fare was more expensive. Bus fare is only $4.52 while carpool cost $11.31.
Yet the struggle didn't end there as we were welcomed by terrible traffic! We started travelling at 12PM yet we arrived in Pampanga past 3PM. We even skipped lunch. So we decided to eat unlimited samgyupsal (korean BBQ). And you know your author is not fond of cooking so thanks to Ms. Jeanny. I was just waiting for cooked food, lol!
After our famished stomach was fulfilled we decided to go back to the condotel to freshen up and proceed at the venue.
You know the feeling that you were so excited, fresh and even some expected scenes were already playing in my mind. Like, maybe I am already jumping, shouting while singing along with the artist while holding at least one bottle of beer in my hand. For sure that would be fun! Right?
We tried to book a grab but it seemed no driver was available so we opted for a taxi. Sad to know the driver's advice as to just walk as the traffic was terrible. Like cars were no longer moving going to the event place. Oh good thing we just ate dinner.
See the traffic? Going to the event place was like I was in a procession of saints, you know " alay lakad". It was, I think, not less than 4kilometers away. When we arrive near the event place we are welcome by LONG CONGESTED QUEUING LINE. I even lost two of my companions. I guess they were dragged away to us. It was too crowded that even air could no longer pass! Like " magpapalit na ng mukha"!
I stood there in line for I think an hour before I got a chance to enter the event place. which I think doesn't make a difference. The place was also overcrowded. I do understand that if the ticket is not VIP as expected it was far from the stage. But what's worse, they lack sound and even led TV. I only saw ONE! How can they expect those in general admission to enjoy it?
Tickets were not even checked properly so for sure you can enter even if you will just show them a fabricated screenshot.
It was supposed to be a FOOD feast yet we even had a hard time buying even DRINKS. You know the feeling of standing in a long line only to be disappointed as no more drinks are available! What I bought was just a cold coffee! Black COFFEE which is too strong and TOO bitter! what the heck.
I just wasted not only my MONEY but also my TIME. I did not enjoy it, I just tired myself. I know it was only me as I could hear many people ranting. What poor management! I regret I didn't listen to Moonie when she told me not to pursue my plan. Negative comments were even shared on Facebook and even on Tiktok!
Since it already happened and I can't do anything about it, we just decided to go back in the condotel and enjoy ourselves in night swimming. Good thing there was a swimming pool. So my weekend was just I traveled to Pampanga just to eat and sleep! LOL!.
How about you? How was your weekend?

Memories are something in the past that we remember, a recollection...Perhaps a good or a bad one. Though if you ask me I prefer bad memories to be deeply buried.
I had a lot of memories, of all of us..everyday that passed became a memories..
Here sharing those happy memories of the past..
https://read.cash/@Lhes/30dwc-memories-27dc05e0
30DWC - Memories
*Memories - something we remembered from the past either a good or bad one, a recollection. Though if you asked me, I prefer to remember the beautiful memories. Bad one should be deeply buried to the ground as it is not worth reminisce.. What do you think?*
I had a lot of memories since I was a kid. hehe I think everyone does. Yet my favorite was when I was in college.
Way back years ago, it was really my dream to be part of the military. To be a scout ranger to be exact. I find them so cool especially when they are carrying guns, the M16 (armalite). Two of my Uncle's on the Father's side were in the Army. I even grew up seeing guns at home. It was given by them. Another thing that triggered my desire was, there is someone I hated much during my teenage years. My young mind was even planning how to k!ll him. Sorry if you find me morbid, it is just that he did something horrible to me. I wanted him to see that I am indeed physically strong and I can fight.
So when I was in college I decided to take ROTC ( Reserve officer training corps) for NSTP. I even applied to be an officer, I already mentioned this in my previous article. Other students are avoiding this, especially ladies. Of course who wanted to drill under the heat of the sun. As for me, oh I love it.. Not to brag but they say I am " Snappy in doing drills". Maybe because I could feel it is my passion.
I took up a Bachelor of Education but I would prefer to teach one battalion of cadets rather than one class section, lol! Parade and review fascinates me. See how a simple command makes everyone move in a synchronized manner? Have you seen how snappy cadets are during the rifle drill? Or even officers in sword drill. Yeah sword drill, I remember my shoulder got a lot of bruises before I mastered it. In a snappy manner, lol!
I even underwent military training in an Army camp for almost a month. Cut my hair short as it was required. Days spent training were one of the best memories of my college days. A lot of learning.
https://youtu.be/roW7JT1Wryo
Sharing the video but sorry for the poor quality. This was documented in 2010. Can you find me here? Hahah no, I wasn't captured by the camera. I don't know why.
My favorite part here is FIRING. I was so happy the moment I took a look at my target paper. I got a great pulse. We use M16 for firing and hey the gun impact was strong and you need a right position before pressing the trigger or else you might lose your balance.
During our tactical inspection. I am on the left.
The snappy me, lol!
I was thinking sometimes, maybe if I pursued this dream of mine for sure I am already an officer. Well most of my fellow officers are now in service and some of them were already rank Lieutenant. Some were even deployed during the war in Marawi and I am glad they returned home safely. I know that I would excel in holding guns rather than holding a pen ( soldier rather than a teacher). Though we already lost some of our officers before.
To all my Filipino friends if you are familiar with this brave soldier, Mr. Jerome Jacuba. Yes, he was featured in the local TV show "Magpakailanman" . I am proud to say that he was my Senior officer in ROTC. Yes, he was a good leader.
https://youtu.be/-8TO3njLKgA
**However, I am sad to say this only now belongs to a memory. Too late to pursue.**
As for someone I wanted to k!ll, well I didn't succeed in that dream of mine so he is still breathing to this day. Don't you worry guys, I already erased that in my mind. I just realized it was a right thing to do and he is not worth it to commit a great sin, LOL.

Since the pandemic started it became my habit to drink lemon+ginger+honey. You know I boiled it, healthy lifestyle😂.
However the other day the lemon I bought was too sour😂..So imagine how my drink taste?
The sour lemon + spice of ginger + sweetness of honey😂.
OMG! Kinilig ako 😂😂
"Oh, What a day"
My day started the same as usual. Got up from bed at 8AM and prepare t0 work. My work actually started at 8AM but I don't want to be in a rush especially when I am drinking my coffee. Hehehe of course COFFEE is life!
Most of the time I leave the house quarter to seven as it was hard to catch a ride at seven AM onwards. Thankfully I didn't have a hard time yet due to my stup!dity or maybe the FX ( public transpo) car window was too low. My shoulder was hit and demn! It hurts it was so painful and a tear even fall from my eyes. I checked it when I reached the office and couldn't help but to face palm as it was bruised...TSsskk!
I was in the middle of my work when I remembered that I needed to go to the bank which is on the 5th floor to claim my new ATM card. I decided to update my bank account last week. From my name when I was still single to married. Hehe yeah it was only under my name not joint account to hubby. And since he is sending his salary directly to my bank account all his money was mine! Don't he dare to cheat on me or else he won't enjoy his hard earned money, LOL!
I punched coffee break in our DTR biometrics and went out of our office. We are on the 14th floor so I badly needed an elevator. As the elevator door opened I stepped in and I saw two gentlemen who are already in. They look formal, with their business attire. Not only that, I know behind those masks they are handsome. hekhek At first they are talking about some business related topics using the English language. Take note with British accent! I can't help but to eavesdrop. Of course I can hear them loud and clear. Until such time the other guy says, he was actually sharing an experience. " ***Dude, you know that I had a sudden call of nature yesterday? I felt like my po0p badly wanted to go out. I know it was a normal po0p but it gonna explode! Like a bomb! I even felt goosebumps. Yet sh!t the CR was locked"***
I can't help but to laugh silently! Demn, and I thought they were serious businessmen. Yet who is in the right mind to talk about poops in a public elevator? I took a glance at them before I stepped out in the elevator and they even smiled at me.. Yeah I know though they are wearing masks. Their eyes say so.
There are already some clients at the bank so I just took a number and took a seat to wait for my turn. While sitting I glanced at my shoes and I silently laughed. Why the heck am I wearing pink socks? I mean my dress color was mustard.. Where is my fashion sense?
Gladly I was immediately called and the teller took my valid ID for verification. I saw her searching until she returned to her seat and asked me a few questions. Only to realize that the bank texted me to claim my card on June 10. Today is only June 09...AWIT! Me and my or whatsoever...So I just laughed again to myself and asked for an apology to the teller.
What a day I got!
How about you? How's your day? I hope it was fine.

When Cheating Happened
I could feel my eyes sore the moment I woke up..Seems I fall asleep while crying the other night..I took my phone to check the time and I was surprised to see it was already six in the morning.
My head was aching maybe because of lack of sleep for days...So instead of getting up from bed and prepare to work I hugged my pillow. Trying my best to sleep even though deep inside I am dying because of pain.

"When Cheating Happened"
I could feel that my eyes were sore from crying the moment I woke up. Seems I fell asleep again while crying. I took my phone to check the time and I was surprised it was almost six in the morning. My head was aching maybe because of lack of sleep for days. How the h3ll I could sleep as every time I remember what my husband told me a few days ago I can't help but to cry. Cried because of the pain I felt. So instead of getting up from bed and preparing to work I hugged my pillow and closed my eyes. Trying my best to sleep so that I could be free from this agony!
Yet the more I closed my eyes the more I clearly remember those words he said when he confessed. It keeps on echoing in my mind! It's been years since the last time I felt this feeling. That feeling of the broken heart! Again I can't help but to cry!
How I wish I was just dreaming! But NO it is not. Just a few weeks ago we were so happy even though we were miles apart. Everything was okay and we've been planning for a lot of things. Not until when he told me he " accidentally" knocked up someone! Since he dropped that bomb my life has been fuck3d up! I tried my best to act normal in front of my office mates but deep inside I am dying from too much pain!
I know some of you had witnessed how I was so proud of my Husband. I was even so confident that he was always faithful and would never cheat on me. I didn't even notice as he remained the same since the day one he left to work abroad.
Aside from the fact that he cheated, insecurities were eating me. He told me that they only did it once but how come that woman was pregnant? Is he lying? We've been trying to have a baby for years but the result was always negative. Can't help but to ask myself, am I BARREN?
He told me that it's me he loves and always will but what will happen to the child? Even the thought that he kissed and touched someone brought an excruciating pain in me! What will I do then?
My mind was still in chaos! I haven't talked to him for a week. I just can't. What will I do? Shall I forgive him? Can I?
Or shall I leave him in order for the child to have a complete family? Can I handle the pain of letting go?
I don't really know, all I know is it hurts too much!
Just a while ago while browsing on Facebook I came across a post that said ***" if your partner cheats, do not sit in a corner and cry. Don't even dare to leave. All you have to do is to take revenge. How? cheat him too."***
**So should I?**
Note:
This story was only fabricated. LOL! I just got hooked on a romance novel I had been reading last night. The storyline was they are happily married until one day her husband knocked up someone. Though it happened before they started their relationship. What was worse was the guy's son was sick and he needed a bone marrow transplant, yet both parents did not match. The only way is if the child will have a sibling with both parents.
They tried the in vitro several times, it was the wife who will be the surrogate but it all failed. They tried it on the child's mother but were still unsuccessful. So the only choice was to do it the " Natural way"!
Imagined the agony of the wife? She did not agree and she was confident that her husband wouldn't do that not until she caught both of them in bed , NAKED.
That was the last straw, she took off her wedding ring and left the husband.

I tried what if I am in that situation by writing and h3ll it was not so GOOD! I am almost crying while writing this article. My throat hurts. Ehh, just thinking hurts! Knock on wood. I am praying this won't happen or else I would push my desire to learn about witchcraft!.

Where's the Humanity?
Hey! I was back on read cash after being absent for three days due to some personal issues. Naaaa, I don't want to be stress so I chose to have " ME TIME"!
Just Me, Myself and I😆 and got a peaceful day so far😂
So if you happened to have time, you may drop by.
https://read.cash/@Lhes/wheres-the-humanity-8612e273
"Where's the Humanity?"
Yesterday it was a trending topic on Facebook here in my country about a " ***Hit and Run***" incident. *You might wonder why, well it was not usual which happened by accident. Thus can be considered as intentional!*
It was early in the morning when I opened my Facebook to read some news when I stumbled into a shared video of my former officemate. After watching I could not help but to feel RAGE! I even ask myself where is humanity?
The accident happened just near in one of the famous malls near my office last Sunday afternoon. The security guard who was the traffic enforcer that time signaled the SUV to stop. ***However instead of following the driver intentionally bump the SG which makes him fall into the ground. YET what makes others shocked instead to stop the car and check the victim, driver runs into him again! JUST like he is just passing into a HUMPS or any NON LIVING THING!***
Good thing the SG was quick and moved quickly or else for I am not sure if he is still breathing by now!
After that the car moved like nothing happened and the SG left in the middle of the road on his knees.
I opted not to post the video here because it was quite sensitive but if you want to watch here is the **LINK****.** https://youtu.be/qWbXHhzR8dE
Thankfully there were concerned citizens who captured the car plate number and also that video was through a dash camera as there was NO CCTV in that area.
The car was a Toyota SUV Rage4. I am not familiar with car prizes but when I check online it can cost up to P2,500,000 or $47,000. No wonder the culprit was RICH as if he is not I doubt he had the guts to commit that crime.
Earlier it was tackled in one of the Radio programs here which is famous in helping people as YES it was confirmed that the registered owner of the car was RICH! He was living in one o f the exclusive subdivisions ( for the rich) here in Manila. The police officers tried to investigate or have a conversation with the registered owner but they were NOT allowed to enter the subdivision. Of course we know that visitors are not allowed to enter in the EXCLUSIVE subd. unless it was confirmed by the resident itself.
And I was thinking, wasn't it an OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE? I was not even satisfied with how the Police answered during the interview on how they tried. I felt like they still lack effort! Or maybe they are CAUTIOUS because of SOCIAL STATUS?
One thing was also confirmed: it wasn't the owner who was driving the car but his SON! Which age is not yet defined as of now.
They refused to give a statement but instead it was their lawyer who called the police station and informed them that they are willing to COOPERATE. Yet as of the writing it was in the news that there was a " NO SHOW" of them in the LTO ( Land Transportation Office) hearing.
As of now a case has been filed to the culprit ***" Frustrated murder and Abandonment of one's victim"***
**IMAGE SOURCE** https://www.facebook.com/116724526976/posts/10161018027096977/
***I am just HOPING JUSTICE will be served though I doubt considering how unfair the justice system in the Philippines sometimes is. For sure if the culprit was just a normal citizen he is already in JAIL by now!***
As for the victim he is still in the emergency room by now and still not in the good condition to be interviewed. Also there was tight security and even the agency where he worked does not have access.
***There were a lot of inhumane happenings these past days and I can't help but feel sad and in fear at the same time. Seems we are no longer safe , DANGER was everywhere.***
Hello readcash fam. It's nice to be back after being absent for three days. I was just busy in the outside world. Just some personal issues are the reason why I chose to rest my mind and just have " ME TIME". Just ME and MYSELF having a peaceful day, LOL.
By the way to all who received sponsorship with me and already ended, I already renewed last week. Yet I don't know why status was still pending though the amount was already debited in my wallet balance.
That's all for today and have a nice day everyone.

I was wearing a headband yesterday when my gay officemate approached me.
Him: Lhes, can I see your headband?
Me: Took it and handed to him.
Him: Put on the headband. See it is more prettier on me, Naa I don't want you to wear this " talbugan mo pa ako" .
Me: Ehhhh, and that's how I lost my headband😂.
New hair cut, is there a difference?
As I posted the previous days, I got a hard time with my hair due to dryness😂. The prize I got for having a vitamin sea considering my hair was rebonded + bleach just to have highlights ( arte lng).
So last weekend, I decided to have a trim also to save some penny. Hehe it was already long that 1 sachet of conditioner is no longer enough😂.
Now I like it better, it was even easy to comb😆.
I went out earlier to buy an earphone as usual the one I am currently using was again damaged. I don't know why but the connector and earphone do not stay on me. Hmmm, maybe I overused it?
So yeah, after that I happened to pass by in the food court and saw the " Manilachon". It's been a while I haven't tasted lechon. Though the one in the province tastes better.
See the serving? LOL, it seems I am on a diet.
# How's your weekend?
"How's my May - Update?"
I had already read a lot of articles here about how the previous month went here to read cash. Since the day I decided to be active here, it was the last month of November. It is my first time to share my small achievement. For the past six months I never published on a daily basis as aside from running out of the topic there I sometimes chose not too. Just like others I have a day job. My work requires me to spend time in front of a computer, cellphones and laptop for at least six hours. Just six as I have some working papers for auditing too.
I may not be into physical work but I am telling you guys it's still tiring and there are times I felt so drained. My brain rather. In these instances I chose not to be active in both platforms Read and Noise cash. Why? I have that attitude that when I am exhausted I could not understand what I am reading. LOL my comprehension was affected. So rather than leaving irrelevant comments I chose not to read at all.
Much safer for me.
Yet I could say that I am more productive this month as I manage to publish 22 articles. Haha, this is my first time as usually I publish every other day only.
*See? Ahh I am so proud of myself. Hehe*
Of all the articles I had written it was that **Boredom ended up winning in a Raffle** got the highest tip which is $9.96. This might be a normal earnings to some but not to me which I perfectly understand as I know I lack engagement sometimes. https://read.cash/@Lhes/boredom-ended-up-winning-in-a-raffle-c89de488
Overall I earned $100 but I wasn't able to monitor how much was transferred in my Bitcoin wallet as I am also using some of my earnings giving back into the community through upvoting and sponsorships.
As for noise cash I can't really track my earnings as I am using one wallet only . I am only aiming for $1 per day. I could not spend much time. I usually scroll before and after work. Though I peek sometimes in between office hours.
*Yet when I checked my transaction history in Coins.ph I saw that I had earned 0.60 BCH for this month. The value in fiat may be lesser but still I am rooting for BCH. I believe it will recover not maybe this month but who knows before this year ends.*
*Not only that as I could say this is already a big achievement for me.*
In all, I'm happy that I've been holding a few BCH in my wallet like an investment. I am not selling my BCH . Since I joined I think I only dod thrice. Yet don't assume I have a lot in my wallet as I have mentioned I am not that active before.
As for trading I had been planning since the previous month but haven't started yet until now. Ehhhm my heart is still weak. Maybe next month. Hehe it was one of my goals for this year actually.
**Subscribers**? I don't know. I don't keep track of it. All I know as of now I have 177. Thank you guys. I know I am not that good a writer but still you chose to support me. That means a lot.
*I am not only thankful to read cash because of the earnings but also I gained virtual friends. Mind you all of them were like a story with different genres, lol! Why? Because I had been discussing different topics with them too. As long as I am not busy. Me being me, I don't really know why I am so talkative in the virtual world, maybe this was my other self?*
*Hey guys, thank you too for spending time reading my articles and leaving your thoughts. Not only for leaving comments but also for having conversations with me. Not only here but also in TG. You know guys that sometimes I feel bored and those funny conversations sometimes put a smile on my lips.*
*How about you? How was your May?*
*That's all for today and happy weekend!*
