The One That Got Away https://youtu.be/Ahha3Cqe_fk *Not all people we met are forgotten and not all people we met will stay. Some are just destined to give us memories.* There will always be someone who we can't forget though many years have passed. Someone who came into our lives unexpectedly and swiftly left bringing a piece of our heart with them. We don't want them to leave but we have no choice but to let them go. We can't be selfish at all times for the the world…

How come we don't break? We bend. Today's pandemic has made people invent their own way of earning by just staying at home. Our safety is our top priority but being safe without nothing to eat can't make us alive. The government has implemented series of lockdowns which made the poor became poorer and almost have nothing to eat for the reason that we all can't go out. Well, except for those who are frontliners. With this reason, some of us disobeyed the law and went out to…
I'm lost. Last night, I slept so late again. I think that was already 12 AM or 1 AM. There are a lot of things that are keeping me awake every night turning me into nocturnal. I sleep during the day and fully awake at night. I tried several ways on how to fall asleep fast but those ways don't work for me. Even drinking a glass of milk every night doesn't induce my sleep unlike before. I tried to think deeply what really keeps me from sleeping early and I realized that maybe…
Good afternoon, lovelies! Been away for almost 2 days because of power interruption. Malakas ulan dito at walang tigil ang brown out. 🥺 How's the weather in your area? Let's all be safe always! ❤️
Sorry, I'm busy. *"Sorry, I'm busy."* This is the response I want to hear after I sent a message to someone. My question was just answerable with yes or no and typing it won't consume much of her time and won't hurt her. Unfortunately, she was so busy I guess that's why she just read the message and did not reply. Well, I am not in the position to judge her because I don't know what's the situation she's been going through which made her unable to type a yes or no. I don't…
Name a baby Let's name a baby! One of my friends is having a baby and she finds it hard what name she will give for her baby girl. It's her first baby and she wants her baby to have a unique, and simple name. She's asking me about my suggestions but then I don't have any idea. Well, maybe I have but I'm not sure if this name fits the baby and her standards for a name. Let's just say my friend's name is Elena. Elena is about to give birth to her daughter in less than 2…
How About Online Selling? Before the pandemic came, I tried my luck in online selling with high hopes of being successful. My urge to be an online seller rose up because of my friends who are progressing well with the business. I saw them post their proof of earnings and how their products are sold like hotcakes. They are also good in promoting their products which can really make the customer love and buy them. I think the way they edited and presented the items online…
Don't raise a tiger if you want a sheep I realized that some people are ugly. Not because they are born one but because they are created to be one. Ugly in a way that the beauty outside was outshined by unwanted character. I am not referring to what the eyes can see but the inner personality which reflects the soul. They said man was born naturally good which I believe for I cannot imagine an innocent baby bearing an ugly mind. What we are say something about the…
It wasn't the same It wasn't the same. I woke up with a heavy feeling. My body aches especially my back and waist. I guess this is because of my weird position when I was sleeping. I looked for my phone but it slipped on my bed and fell to the floor. I immediately rose to get it so I can check the time. It's 10 o'clock in the morning which means I woke up so late. I was thinking about the reasons why but haven't found any. I remembered I slept early and my shift has ended at…
That Pink Uniform I was scrolling on Facebook in search for something good to the eyes. Those things like different posts about food, funny videos, memes and posts about job hirings. Yes, I am always looking for them on Facebook. This afternoon, a post from a teacher gave me the enthusiasm to love my profession again as I am slowly losing my faith on it. Due to the pandemic I guess, the hiring of new teachers is not that needed as of these times especially it's still distant…
always a cheat day Last year was the best year for me. I've been reconnected with friends who I no longer have connection with for a long time. I met different kinds of people and some of them became my family. We smoke and got drunk but those were the best days of our lives. I also met someone who I thought will be my last. If you can still remember about the ex I am telling in some of my articles, you can connect the happenings. Anyway, let's call him Steve. Steve came to…
Relax, it's just a color! It is our nature to associate colors to someone, or to something. I don't know where did we get this idea that it became a part of our culture and beliefs. When I was young, I also believed that colors really do have meanings when they are associated with something. For example the color, black. Black means death or sadness so you should not wear black during weddings. Another one is red. Red is for Valentine's or Christmas. And then we have purple.…
Bestfriends became bestfriends again So we're bestfriends but became bestfriends again. Why and how? Well, it all started when we were kids. The lady behind me is Jai. She was my playmate when I was still 3 years old and she was of my age too. We were neighbors back then so we always played together in their house. Jai's parents are both teachers and they're strict that time for they won't allow Jai to go out and play with us. As a result, I will be the one to go in their…
not my bet Seriously? A couple arguing at 3 AM? And what would the reason be? Did they just woke up and figured out they need to fight about something? Yes, it's normal for couples to argue but the time of occurrence was just too disturbing. Last night, I heard our neighbors again argue about something. I mean the couple. This couple always argue everyday. They used to shout at each other early in the morning. I am not interested as to what could be the commotion about but…
Stay a little bit longer Yesterday, it rained but not very hard. I was not happy because I am expecting it to pour heavily. It seldom rain here I don't know why. Every day is a blazing fire and I feel like I am a potato in the microwave suffering from heat. That's why I do have a mountain of laundry when weekend comes for I always change clothes every 3 hours. My mood is not good too during those days when the temperature is high. I don't want to talk to anyone and I don't…
What's on your mind? This line welcomes me whenever I visit Facebook. It's in the section where you want to post something, anything. I am not sure what am I going to respond about this because there are actually a lot that's going on my mind. I've been thinking about my future, my career, my family and myself. They are renting all the spaces in my brain these days. I am the landlady but I can't make them go away even they give me nothing but stress. As I write this article,…
Never mind It's not my problem but why am I affected? Why do I feel like I am involved in the situation? And that I am involved in the conflict? Am I just too assuming to think that I am part of everything or is it because my instincts are right? Do you also feel that sometimes when someone we know is in trouble and we feel like we are too just because we have that connection? Being away from home is very hard. You will not feel the comfort of your home regardless of how…
and we panicked I feel bad for not being active here for two days, I guess. Yesterday I was tired so I just wrote an article then left. I was just on Facebook scrolling for something until I came across different memes about the famous Korean Netflix series which is "Squid Game". It was a series about games in which the players need to win to have the money prize worth billions of won. However, if the players lose, they will be eliminated in the game. To be eliminated means…
Squids are here, finally! It was just yesterday that I finished watching the series "Squid Game". Though I spent much of my time watching it, I've never regretted a single minute. The movie is very much commendable from it's actors and actresses, the cinematography down to the life lessons we can get from it. So, give it a try! By the way, about the gunshots that we heard last Friday, they weren't really gunshots. Thank God! The people living there in the area where the loud…
Nothing's special Today is just an ordinary day for me. I woke up at 6 AM and decided to have a walk again but the raindrops did not allow me. I was away quite a few steps when the raindrops fell. I don't want to catch flu or fever so I went back and prepared breakfast instead. I just cooked noodles and fried dried fish or what we called *'buwad'.* I prepared my favorite chocolate-milk drink too! The weather was just fine. Not too hot, not too gloomy. I didn't feel as…
Meet Jen Today, a new friend of mine came in again to ask for the same questions. She was interested in joining read.cash but wasn't able to publish any in her one month of stay here. Well, I can't blame her for she has a family already and she's been through a lot of struggles these days because of her husband. People in here said that her husband was unfaithful and Jen already knew about the numerous infidelities. They have been through a lot of separation and getting back…
Oh Tuesday! Craving for something today? Same! I feel you. My mouth has been watering since this morning. This sudden cravings came into me lately. I blame Facebook for this too because it's where I keep on seeing goods and foods. I think I should've stopped visiting Facebook too often. What do you think? As much as I can, I will really avoid seeing foods I like because I wouldn't hesitate to spend my money over it. It doesn't matter if it's way pricy. What matters most is…
The Dilemma of Preparing Meals Everyday Being away from my grandma made me realize all the things she's been doing and sacrificing for us. Every day, she was the one who does the household chores, wash the dishes, do the laundry and prepare our meal three times a day. And when the night came, she prepares the things she needs for her barbecue business. I don't know how my grandma did all of that but I can say that she's truly a great grandma. Though she's not perfect and we…
How swiftly time flies It's the last day of September and I feel like December is coming already. Well, it's almost December only 2 months left. I can't wait to feel the cold December nights. I have a lot of precious and painful memories on that month and I can't believe it's been a year already. Oh, how swiftly time flies. Today, I just recall everything that happened within the month. I can say that this month was not a productive as the last month. It's not just about the…
