Where's the Welcome Party? A few years back- six years ago to be exact, and not so long ago in my memory. I started writing and blogging online from a competitive platform of "Speak your Mind", and earn money too, just like what this site Read.Cash has to offer. This monetary motivation, and speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts back to writing is a delight and an excitement to finally start again. Please... make this work for me (wink**), let me blow my bubbles of…

Christmas Gift Ideas It's September and soon it will be Christmas time. I guess it's the right time now for some gift ideas? The Christmas season has been known for gift giving especially for kids and almost every year we are preparing an extra budget for the yuletide. The items may be big or small, expensive or not - it's a matter of selecting those that our loved ones will enjoy and our pockets can afford. The art of gift giving lies in the sincerity that goes with the…

A Man After God's Own Heart Good morning! Sharing my thoughts on this morning's reflection. I've read about Paul who has been physically blind at a time and when he received his sight, he also received spiritual wisdom and understanding on the life of Jesus Christ. Like him, we have been spiritually blind too, understanding God and His word in the Bible was never easy. In Acts 13: 22, God echoed through Paul of how He was pleased on the character of David. What is pleasing…

Single Line Only Warning: This post carries a laughing gas, so reserve nothing in laughing. I was once an overseas worker in the gulf area. One thing I noticed there is everywhere you go, whether in public or private offices, the queue for the women is always separate from the men.This, so far is an advantage for us women because the line for the men is almost always lengthy than ours! One day, I'm on this public office, I was standing in line with the other ladies as well…

Speak your Mind and Earn Bitcoins I started blogging and writing online content back 2013 for some cash, paid via **Paypal**. Like here, I know soon it will be a rewarding journey of earning, getting new friends and discover what your mind can create in writing. Back on that **write-and-earn site**, let me put it in the name of Bubbles, I started too on a very small audience, small subscribers and readers. I endure writing knowing that someday I will have a good following.…

Test the Waters I'm not working on any water facility nor in the treatment or infrastructure of water supply. But, this morning I'm *testing the waters in read.cash*. Last night, I was thinking that if I have to share this amazing platform and explore into affiliating people with me in **read.cash**, I have to experience beforehand the reward no matter how small it is. So, the first thing I did when I opened my computer earlier is check my BCH here, and to my surprise I got…

How are you Coping a Compliment In searching for a technique to cope a compliment, I turned to children and I realize the young are of no help. Say this to one of them, “what a pretty dress!” Instantly she heists it up to point out that the lining is even prettier, and then she heists the lining to show that her panties are the prettiest. This sort would hardly be acceptable in an adult society. Author’s face a different position on the problem. Someone might tell you “I…

Be Yourself I was reading a humor article from @Dreamer and I can't help myself laugh and remember what my nephew wrote on his essay way back when he was 7 years old (he is 13 now, and I still laugh at it, LOL!) So, here it goes. In an English class, the teacher instructed the Grade two students to write a paragraph about “What They Want to be in the Future?” After 15 minutes of composing, the teacher chuckled to find this innocently different composition from the rest of…

Are you Feeling Useless? 11:16PM and I have work at 7AM, I could be sleeping right now but a connection of mine touched my heart on this sensitive topic, and I just have to let it out. Making someone feel his or her worth is so dear to me, everyone of us, I mean every single one of us should not be feeling otherwise. Being useless or feeling like one- is hard. I know that feeling, I was once on that shoe. As a child, an eldest of 5, I have that constant feeling before that I…

Let Me be Your Hero The title is one of Enrique Iglesias song, and my favorite too. *"I can be your hero baby* *I can kiss away the pain* *I will stand by you forever* *You can take my breath away"* And that's a line from the song. Are you singing it? :D I'm taking you here through this song because I'm a hero. So, LykeLyca is a hero because on this pandemic, you call us **health workers**, your **frontliners** as **heroes**. I'm proud of that because for 6 months now of…

What Are The Things You Learn After You Know It all? Most of us progressively narrows learning what we are capable of as we grow older. Some people when they reach 60, thought that life is fading and better off in the side lines. Others, like some successful people, who by far progressed in their field of specialization had become trapped on it and had become close minded of what is new on the other side. Where are you from here? One must be aware and conscious of this…

Who Is More Talkative, Women or Men? I know, it is a widespread masculine belief that women are more talkative than men. Men always insist, and obviously I think they are right. In a research, it is a scientific fact that female begins to out-talk the male shortly after infancy and holds a verbal edge from then on. She talks more readily, longer, faster and displays more superior verbal fluency than her counterpart. Women are also prominent in the field of reporting,…

Do Not Rely Nutrition Facts from Commercial Ads! In matters of nutrition, however, too many people prefer to take their counsel from TV commercials, from newspaper/ magazine reports, internet blogs and write-ups from an unreliable writer about the latest fads in dieting and nutrition. Most of the time, these fads are worthless. Nowadays, we have to be skeptical especially about health. There is no magic in keeping yourself healthy, always know the facts and research the…

Do You Want to Be Massaged with a Python? Last year we spent our summer vacation in Bohol, Philippines - It's a beautiful island with white pristine beaches (I'll make a separate article for that soon). We wanted to go to Cebu after that since it's just a 40-minute boat ride away, but time and money limit us to go so I just want to share what is interesting in Cebu City, aside from the beaches, rich culture and all. There is this spa/massage parlor in **Cebu City**, actually…

What a Brand New Day! I thank God for this brand new day that He had given us. This might be some ordinary day; same as the usual, nothing special, but, our positive perspective and mentality in starting the day right can make all the difference. The brand new day means a lot, it means a brand new life, a brand new hope, a brand new love, we might miss appreciating these things every single day of our lives, but, God never fails to exhibit it every day without a miss and,…

Sunsets - In My Lens I'm a hobbyist in photography for like a decade now. Nature's sunsets/ sunrise are really my favorite subjects. It showcases mystery and hope, its beauty are secretly hidden in silhouettes, and you can almost feel the warmth of it in every image you capture. I have photos randomly posted in Flickr and Instagram, pretty varied in genre. So, this would be first for read.cash. Sunset on a beach just near our place Took this when I was out on a photowalk,…

Super duper tired because of a super duper busy day, and tomorrow I'll be early for work. I have something stored in mind of topics to write about but I just can't take my eyes away from the bed. So, let's call it a day, goodnight! P.S. Thank you so much to all readcashers who appreciates my first photography post. Hugs and God bless you all! You're the best!

Is it a Good Idea To Go To Bed at a Set Time? Yes. As much as possible. The idea of keeping regular habits should be probably more applicable and important in our sleep. Our hormones flow with regular and daily rhythm, and our energy as well increases or decreases. Allowing our body certain limits and pattern of balance in human activity, thus there is always a best bedtime for each one of us. Maybe all of us had experienced feeling sleepy while chatting with friends – when…

Marriage or Symbiosis? This morning I went to the school where I used to be teaching college students way back when I just passed the Licensure exam for Physical Therapist. Yes, teaching was my first job. This school is just beside the hospital where I am working now. So, catching up with some friends is just so easy, but now of course with face mask on. We had a chit-chat with my friend and a colleague teaching Biology. While chatting she was busy checking the test papers…

God’s Take on Success Since yesterday, I've seen several articles about success and until now from my connection's short post here in read.cash. I'm sharing mine too briefly since this has been His word for me too this morning. Often times we set goals for ourselves pushing us to great dimensions and aspirations to be successful. We work so hard for it day and night, to see ourselves on top of success. I think no one is exempted on this, even a beggar has goals to eat 3…

They Grow Money on Trees - A Success Story Walking through the seaside here in the Philippines, you will see row upon row tall and slender palm trees crowned with clusters of coconut. These trees are revolutionizing coconut - growing here and abroad. Though these trees are only common in tropical countries, their demand is worldwide when they are processed and produced as coconut oil. Here in the Philippines, the agriculture business for coconut palm trees gives a…

Someday I Will or Later I will? How often do we procrastinate? Do you have this habit? Though, undeniably sometimes we got moments like that, but, I just hope that we don’t do it too often to the extent of forgetting that something should have been done. I'm writing this because I am sometimes guilty on this seemingly bad habit. We had this webinar about Contact Tracing - Covid19 related efforts on our 3rd day now, and there are lots of syllabus I need to review, my…

A Bit of Bangladesh Bangladesh, I have only seen a bit of the country in The Amazing Race - because I am a fan of this show, I don’t think I miss an episode of it, lol! The adventure is like a dream come true for me. Going back to the main topic - Bangladesh, geographically quite similar to the Philippines, they have rice fields, backyard fruit and vegetable gardens, commuting passengers everywhere, busy streets/ markets and amazing sunset in the river. But, what caught my…

Passing on the Kindness Clearly, humanity tinted values and morality. It is a sad fact, over and over, we always come short on our expectations – like getting back what is due for us on extending our help. But, no matter how bad we look at humanity today, we still have that spark of kindness in our hearts. Petty gestures, like a smile we gave to an ordinary man in the road, is still kindness. Yesterday, the hospital where I work celebrated their foundation day. Since…

Morning and Blessings I don't know if you agree, but I always find morning a blessing. The day we might be looking ahead might be a busy one - tons of workloads for the day, a sad one - knowing someone might have unbearable struggles at the moment, might be a momentous one - expecting something rewarding, and /or ordinary - just something mundane, doing the same old thing. But, this verse will always brighten my day: *"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;* *his…

Money, Success or Family Most men are literally killing themselves to produce “a better world” for their family. Some fathers work themselves to death in order to provide their family with all its needs , they drive themselves physically exhausted to prove that they are good family man. These men is a success in this area, yet, wives/ mothers also surely know that money is not a substitute for love, that success is not a substitute for satisfaction and companionship. There…

Does a Black Coffee Sober an Intoxicated Person? Most people thought that coffee can awaken them from the irrational state of intoxication in an instant. It relieves a drunk person from its slightly tipsy state or from a much worst feeling of delusional superman temper. But, guess what, coffee will not calm you down. That is not true, purely fiction – just a hearsay. When you drink any alcoholic beverage and got drunk in the process, that is primarily disposed of by the body…

Wave Your White Flag How do we overcome challenges that life throws at us? There is this common phase that says “*if life gives you lemons, make lemonade***.**” This is a motivation indeed, sometimes we always fret on things and situations, if not we keep on whining and complain that it should be like this and like that. But life is not always about comfort, laughter, rainbows and all! When can we learn to accept that life will not always give something fitting for us?…

The Seaside - In My Lens This afternoon, I was thinking of going out for a photowalk but unfortunately I just can't go out that easy. Our place is in Modified Extended Community Quarantine for the whole month of September and the city is strict in implementing the rules. Plainly stating that if we don't have serious engagements and errands to do in the community, better stay inside the house. That literally restricting freedom but this is what we have to do for now to help…

Mermaids: Fact or Fiction? I was watching this documentary from Animal Planet about some evidences of aquatic humanoids like mermaids. It was quite interesting because lately I’ve been watching this TV show in a local TV network about mermaids and I was wondering if mermaids are really predominant in some specific location. In the documentary, there is one town in Israel called Kiryat Yam where localities often find sightings of mermaid, actually there is one video shown way…

Newbie's Bitcoin Journey In anything we try to pursue we always started being a newbie. We can be a newbie for how long it can be because learning something new is a never ending pursuit of ideas and experience. For instance, my journey for the world of cryptocurrency started a year ago and it seems that I haven’t reached the shallow part of the iceberg. Just last year, I started learning cryptocurrency. The spark of interest came when I joined **coins.ph** and noticed that…
