Another Visitor In The Night Meowling from the cold and hunger Another visitor came and wander Its small cries splitting the still of the night Like a baby in distress and in fright A clatter there and a thud here This little kitten sure knows how to bother Crying outside the window relentlessly One can tell it is very hungry In a moonlit night, I padded to the kitchen Not clicking on the light, I let the moon shine on me Prepared a little snack for the meowling visitor Lest…

Bongolanon Falls Adventure Agco Mahomanoy, Climber's Den Park, Paniki Falls --- all a part of Barangay Ilomavis, Kidapawan City. Here is the continuation of living at the foot of Mt. Apo. It was a summer of 1998, a couple of us went to an adventure looking for a waterfalls we heard from the elders. A clean and cold waterfalls we wanted to experience ourselves --- the Bongolanon Falls. From the town, we hitched a ride in an old truck, through a stranger's generosity, going to…

Tatay's Adventure When I was born until I turned 3 years old, my parents and I lived with my grandparents, I call them Tatay (grandfather) and Nanay (gramdmother). The house is old but cozy. Even now, I dreamt of the old house sometimes. I miss it. It was big but it didn't look haunted. Daylight would stream inside the house and rooms. There was no electricity line back then and the house is located 500 meters away from the highway. Aside from 3 of our relatives houses, the…

Broken The glint of her wedding ring A reminder of a once faithful love shared Days of happiness and contentment Carried away by the waves of time His eyes caught on his wedding ring while at work He became still for a moment and thought, "Does she love me still? My heart, my life. She doesn't take notice of me anymore." How did it come here they both wondered Why the laughters are replaced by angry shoutings The feeling of being safe now gone What's left are feelings of…

Marang Fruit Our neighbor just harvested their marang fruit. I bought it per piece for P30-P45 depending on its size. I am selling it online now for P60-P80 per piece. So far, just this morning I already sold 22 pieces of Marang. Since childhood, Marang is one of my favorite fruits. My grandparents used to have 10-15 trees in their farm. When it is its season, I usually have it for breakfast since it is not acidic. My Nanay used to tell us to eat Marang for it is good for…

Survey-Paying Sites in the Philippines Doing surveys is an activity I enjoy doing in my free hours. I regret the times I ignored the emails of the survey sites I entered just because I felt lazy answering the surveys. They really pay for real. I have been a member of the following sites for over 2 years now. Lifepointspanel.com - I joined this site 10 years ago. The name was different then, Global Test Market. You will get points per every survey you are qualified. Points…

What I like about read.cash? First, the people in it and behind it. They share their money and time through the articles that are here. I am a crypto-novice; I am still groping in the dark. But through the articles here, I learn little steps about the crypto world. I have encouraged friends and families to join here in read.cash, enticing them more about the knowledge they can get, the freewill of writing (of course, abiding the guidelines). Second, I have found a platform…

Over The Edge The crashing of waves beneath the cliff Creates a lullaby for a shattered soul Eyes unfocused, tears a-flowing The heart breaks a little more with every breath taken Mind wandering to better days When loved ones are there to cheer How one reaches a deep despair Heart and mind lies alone and in tatters Over the edge, the wind howls angrily Sea spray slowly drenching the body Salt water mingling with salty tear Soul beaten, hopelessly drowning in fear Wanting to…

Encounters My friend, Eve, her husband and their 5 year old daughter just moved to a house that they can call their own. It took them years to save to build the house. She loves it there, away from the bustling city, clean and fresh air, an overlooking view of the ocean. The neighbors were nice and friendly people. Their yard, big enough for a parking space and a garden area. Along with them is their longtime helper, Manang Inday. Her family and Manang would often eat dinner…

Struggles of the Ant I got fascinated. Is it in labour? Or maybe the heavy butt? Is it just fooling around? Maybe resting. Uh-uh, what might your queen say? Is it in pain? Is it writhing? What can I do to help? It must be exercising. With a rear like that, one should always know how to balance. Well, I will never know as it scuffles away. Leaving me in wonder with its exhibition.

My Little Terror Angel "You are an angel when asleep; a terror when you are awake." 😅 Thoughts whirling in my head as I stared at her sleeping form. Still I couldn't help steal kisses and whisper how much I love her. Earlier tonight, she had her worst tantrum --- throwing the toys I bought her this afternoon, shouting angrily at me and my mom. I couldn't help but hide a smile at her cute display though. Yup, I still think it was cute. Call me a bad mom, a "kunsintidor" (a…

Hissssss.. It's a Snake! I was out in our backyard looking for ripe Calamansi fruit to mix in my sauce and juice. I was already picking a few fruit when I decided to pick at the higher branches. Since it was getting very dark, I fished out my phone and illuminated the higher branches. Imagine my horror when I found this. I jumped back and roared in fright. The first thought that came to mind, "king cobra!" A few days ago, a 21-year old college student from another barangay…
