Hello everyone! I have decided to not write a July earnings update here in read.cash. You can read it in noise.cash though. Hehe. : https://noise.cash/post/1x0pnn2n Hopefully I can do better this August. 🥰

Buwan ng Wika Challenge! Tara Sulat Tayo in Filipino Ano na mga bes? Kamusta po ang unang araw ng Agosto? Para sa akin ayos lang naman. Napaisip lang bigla magsusulat na lang ako ng sanaysay in Filipino muna. Siguro magsusulat pa rin ng English, bahala na, depende sa *mood*. *(Tip for international readers: To translate this article, manually copy paste entire article to the translator because Google Translate can't translate when using the website link.)* ♦ Bakit Bigla…

Paano Ako Nakakuha ng Libreng Swab Test sa Metro Manila Sabay Gala na Rin Naku malapit na naman ang ECQ, pero kung kailangan nyo makalibre ng *swab test for travel* *and/or work* eto po ang ginawa ko nung April 2021. Bale dalawa lang talaga yung mairerekomenda ko kung di kayo makakakuha sa barangay, atbp. Kung pwede lang lumayas sa Metro Manila (NCR) bago mag-*lockdown* na naman eh ginawa ko na kaso ipon muna ng pera. Tsaka walang magbabantay dito sa bahay ngayon kung iwanan…

🎵 4 Bits of This Plus 6 Parts of That...🎶 Ah yes, the This or That challenge finally reached me thanks again to @TengoLoTodo . 😆 I need to write some fun things too of course! Now this seems like another enjoyable one so let me get to it right away! 😂 ♦ Painting or drawing? https://read.cash/@LucyStephanie/wow-i-heard-the-oldest-bamboo-organ-in-the-world-86dacd0e#the-las-pinas-bamboo-organ Well, since I started out as an artist, I prefer drawing. Ever since I could make art…

Nasaan Na Kaya Si Bunsoy? Gusto mo bang malaman kung ano'ng nangyari kay Bunsoy? Sino nga ba siya? Well, eto po ay nasulat ko nung Pebrero lang po. Kwentong pambata pero ang paksa ay higit pa doon. 😅 Isinali ko sa *writing contest* ito kaso 'di nanalo so dahil napagod ako sa lakad ko buong araw kanina, eto na lang ang naisip kong i-*post* dito. Hehe. Bale ang naipintang *artwork* (sa baba nito) ay ginamit ng nagpakontes bilang *prompt* para makagawa ng maikling kwento na di…
@LucyStephanie
Oh That Anime Face Caricature! Oh yeah... Been a while since I did any art. 😄 Actually I haven't done any since almost 6 months ago. 😂 Yeah when you're busy working in real estate like me you'd hardly feel like doing any art at all. I was on an extended leave at the time so I was able to make this. Actually I was supposed to post this on the other writing sites I used to write on but I haven't been able to do it even up to now. Since I wanted to have something to publish…
@LucyStephanie
Newbie Cooks Pastillas, Guess What Happened? Ah yes, here's something about food. 😆 I seem to be posting "filler" posts recently because I can't bring myself to write the plenty of pending travel blogs I still haven't written. 😅 Might as well edit, update and share something I wrote early this year. ♦ Why Cook Pastillas? https://read.cash/@LucyStephanie/wow-i-heard-the-oldest-bamboo-organ-in-the-world-86dacd0e#the-las-pinas-bamboo-organ Since I didn't have any new real…

Memories of The City of Manila Ah Manila City, the capital of the Philippines. It is a place other people love while some just choose to dislike. It is not perfect but from what I've seen lately it has definitely improved a lot thanks to the current mayor, Isko Moreno. ♦ The First Time I Went To Manila https://read.cash/@LucyStephanie/wow-i-heard-the-oldest-bamboo-organ-in-the-world-86dacd0e#the-las-pinas-bamboo-organ I'm not exactly sure if I've ever been there as a child.…
@LucyStephanie
What's "Hidden" Within and Outside of Intramuros, Manila? Ah yes, Intramuros is full of history. Come along with me as I show you the "hidden" things in and around this so-called walled city. I say "hidden" because I don't think most people have seen some of these yet. Or, you know, we're too busy with life that we don't notice most of the things around us. Before I start, did you know August is also our National History Month? I realized it when I saw this big banner in…
@LucyStephanie
Wow big thanks to my previous plus new sponsors! Hehe. Pls check my sponsor box to see all the beautiful people that believe in me and the things I write. 😁
@LucyStephanie
Wow to the Much Improved City of Manila! So I wrote my memories of this city in one of my previous articles, now I will show you the things I saw that improved greatly. If you haven't read my backstory with this city, you can check the link near the bottom of this post to know more. Continuing on with my previously mentioned Intramuros excursion, I walked along the path that would lead me home. As I said, it's been years since I've been to Manila. Upon seeing the city this…
@LucyStephanie
Why So Serious Teenage Me? Okay I need a break from my travel blogs so here's something a bit fun. Well supposedly teenage years are fun. Can't say I really like or hate it. Back then, high school meant four years after elementary (Grades 1-6). It means we only had 1st to 4th year levels (ages 13 - 16). These days there's junior and senior high school, the latter being Grades 11 and 12 (until age 18). This is due to the K-12 education system the Philippine government finally…

I Dived and Got Jabbed with Sinovac Hahaha at last, the day I got jabbed is the day I also got something I haven't had in a long while! What a day. 😂 Let me tell you what happened this morning. I think it's kinda funny in a not so funny way. 😆 If you've seen my noise cash post you'd know what I'm gonna share here. 😂 Ah but the devil is in the details or so they say. 😆 ♦ Last Night, I Received a Text Message…
@LucyStephanie
What? There Are More Places to See in Manila City? Oh my gosh yes there are a lot more. Who'd have thought I'd have up to 4 articles just to finish writing my latest travels in the City of Manila? Whew. Finally, I swear this is the last part of this travel series. 😆 You can read the previous 3 later as I've linked them at the end of this post. A day before this month's Metro Manila (NCR) lockdown (ECQ), I again went to Intramuros (the walled city / heritage district of the…

10 Best read.cash Articles I've Read So Far... Some of you may have noticed I am commenting on and reading articles that are weeks or even months old. Since I only started writing here in mid-July I am looking at a lot of articles whenever I have the time. Of course it's also good to show appreciation, after all we can all learn many things from other people. Because others keep getting surprised when I read their old posts, I have decided to compile the best ones I've read…
@LucyStephanie
Philippine History Month Challenge! What Part of Our Past Can You Share to the World? August is our History Month, found out about it on my 3rd visit to Manila this year. As such it is only fitting if we write something of our past that we can be proud of. You might think, "Oh history is such a hard topic, bla bla bla," but everyday we take part in it. Everyday we do something that goes down to history as long as someone writes and appreciates it. Philippine History does not…
@LucyStephanie
The Invisible Biringan City is Such a Mystery Well, I am just going to write freely here. I won't be writing like I usually do. Maybe this is going to be more of a freewriting exercise. Hehe. *Sorry but I will not provide sources for now as this is just me thinking out loud online.* You see I just spent a few hours watching and listening to YouTube videos about Biringan City. For those who are unaware this is a mysterious and invisible place in Visayas, particularly in Samar…

Making Lemonade out of Rude and Abusive Neighbors, Pt 1 I am freewriting this because I just have to share it to the world. Might as well get something out of my misery eh? I shall make lemonade out of lemons today. I've been having these lemons for more than a year now, it's time to finally make something out of it. You see we have "new" neighbors in our apartment. They moved here back in 2018 I think. I know because suddenly out of the blue there was some kind of duck or…
@LucyStephanie
Making Lemonade out of Rude and Abusive Neighbors, Pt 2 Here's the 2nd part of what happened. Still a freewriting article so just read on to find out what happened during our latest confrontation. If you haven't read the first part, read it here to know the whole story. This is a story of my problem with our neighbors, a couple "from hell", who I will call Guy and Gal. They became the property admin of this bldg since 2018 I think.…
@LucyStephanie
This Is Not a Beautiful Trauma Lately I have had enough of keeping it all in, so I shared the story of my problem in two previous articles. Just for fun I thought I'd join this writing challenge so I can have another positive thing out of my bad experience. Selfish neighbors "from hell" are the worst. We have never had terrible neighbors until 2018. Oh definitely this is not a **Beautiful Trauma** at all. Why am I joining @meitanteikudo 's song title (from one artist)…
@LucyStephanie
An Adventure in The Most Loyal and Noble City of the Philippines Ah yes, time for another travel blog! Woohooo! Of course I will also share a bit of history here. It's more fun to travel when you learn something about the location's past right? After all, it is still our history month. 😊 Guess which Visayan city did I go to before the pandemic was declared last year? Well I recently checked on the official website and found out this slogan. Haven't heard of it before but now…
@LucyStephanie
Getting A Swab Test Appointment For Travel, Part 2 Yep I'm back to doing this again. 😅 This is the new normal indeed. Gone are the days when you can just book a flight or go to the bus station and travel to whichever country or province you choose. No thanks to the pandemic, health and safety protocols have been added. One must have an RT-PCR negative swab test result and travel QR Codes to present when crossing provincial borders and going into some government…

A Surprising '90s Movie Gem: Sa Aking Mga Kamay Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you part of our film history and culture for our History Month. Never thought I'd be writing another local film review but here it is. 😃 Wow. I finished watching this '90s film last night and I just love the details. All I can say is, Chin Chin Gutierrez was really an amazing actress. No doubt about it. She became a nun after becoming an environmentalist since leaving the entertainment…

Bills & Future Travel Expenses Paid Thanks to Noise and Read.Cash! Do you know what's the best get paid to write site now? I'm pretty sure you already know what it is if you've been here longer than me. Haha. Actually it's not just one but two sites, right? Noise.cash and read.cash are really a big help to everyone. At least we get enough money to help us with our expenses. It may not be big but at least we get something from our efforts. This is why both sites are my new go…

Wild Brews Talks About Philippine Fantastic Beasts and Plants Wow look what I found on YouTube (YT). 😲 Are you aware we have a Biodiversity Conservation Society of the Philippines? Somehow as I was browsing, an interesting video popped up as a recommendation. Actually I haven't been checking much on the YT channels I've subscribed to so when a nature related video came up I checked it. The recommended vid was Biodiversity Matters 1 by Philippine Biodiversity channel however…

Must Finish This TESDA Online Course... Yes dear readers, today I am finishing one of the two courses I am taking up via TESDA. This year is actually the first time I am doing such a thing. Haha. So happy they already have online courses. First let me give you a little background or history on this important educational government branch of the Philippines. ♦ What is TESDA?…
@LucyStephanie
Education, Excuses and Procrastination You're reading this because I was procrastinating some hours ago. 😆 I should be finishing the third module in the TESDA online course I am taking up but I keep typing away. How many times do we procrastinate on the things we should be doing? I dunno but studying has become boring. Even if what I'm doing is acquiring online education for a better future, it's still not fun. 😂 There is just something about formal or official types of…

Self-Censorship When Writing: Is it Good or Bad? I saw something funny in my social media account and wanted to share it on noise cash too but I stopped myself. It was a politically inclined funny post. Some people might get offended and such so of course I just didn't post it. I shared it on another writing site that is censorship free. And then I posted how I stopped myself from posting it in noise.cash. Voila! I also thought of freewriting this article. 😄…
@LucyStephanie
FREE Swab Test and a Temporary Tattoo Bulk Order Oh la la, how are you dear readers? Me I have been busy today. Hehe. Been out and about but I didn't take much pictures. Anyway this is another freewriting article by yours truly. What have I been up to today? I got another FREE swab test. This time it was in a different place. Hahaha. Guess where I went? I believe it's my fourth free swab test this year. 😆 Oh I love free swabs. 😂 Hello Quirino Grandstand! If you've been an…

Thank You August! Oh What a Month! At the last minute, I changed this article. Haha. This was supposed to be kind of a negative topic so I decided to write something positive instead. Why not when August has been great in terms of BCH achievements and more! ♦ Total BCH from noise cash and read cash https://read.cash/@LucyStephanie/wow-i-heard-the-oldest-bamboo-organ-in-the-world-86dacd0e#the-las-pinas-bamboo-organ Let's get this out of the way right now. 😁 I got a total of…
