๐ณ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ When you think you're losing your cryptos, try zooming out on the charts. What was your position the first time you HODL? I remember early this year, BCH plays around $400. As I'm writing this post, BCH plays at $600. We're still at the advantage, actually. At this point, you only lose when you give your hopes (and assets) up. Just my thoughts. Not financial advice though.

Act as if what you do makes a difference, because it does! Sometimes we think that we are insignificant and our actions don't even matter to people. So we limit ourselves as we squeeze into our own small world. Little did we know that there are people who are looking up on us, encouraged with every decision we make, and are silently rooting for us. Don't listen to the voice that whispers you are invaluable. You are! And you do make a difference. Believe in yourself. You areโฆ
Just got home! Isa sa pinakapaborito kong parte ng araw ay ang paglalakad pauwi. Blessed ako kasi malapit lang ang bahay sa office, walking distance lang. Kaya ineenjoy ko ang ilang minutong paglalakad. I'm both observant and reflective kaya di ako madaling mainip kapag naglalakad. Skl
What do you think is the sweetest thing you've done for love? Hahaha labasan na ng damoves! Hmm. Ang nagawa ko nang magbigay ng poems. Though common ito sa iba, pero dahil love language ko ang words of encouragement, talagang nagbubuhos ako ng energy ko pag gumagawa ako nito. Hehe Kayo, anong sweetest damoves niyo? :)
Even though Ang Probinsyano's plot is too predictable and a total cringe fest, I can't seem to miss an episode lately. Hahaha. I am so hooked with its neveeeeeer-ending story ๐ anyone with me? Lol
Kahit na paulit ulit at sobrang predictable na ng plot at story telling ng Ang Probinsyano, aliw na aliw pa rin akong panoorin. Hahaha. Hindi ko mapalagpas ang mga episodes lol. May nanonood pa ba nun dito? :p
Currently reviewing for tomorrow's exams but I'm distracted with what my family is watching right now haha. I just hope all that I read will be retained and be available when needed ๐
Tips on How to Sleep Better Have you ever experienced waking up in the morning but instead of feeling rejuvenated, you feel exhausted, and wasted? Having experienced that countless times, I learned that the primary reason is not getting a sound sleep the night before. When you're well-rested, you wake up in a good mood, with a refreshed energy. You also perform well whether in school or the office. Here are some suggestions to improve your sleep: Journalize your thoughtsโฆ
New blogpost up! Read this if you're having trouble sleeping :) Link here: https://read.cash/@Marts/tips-on-how-to-sleep-better-a7ab6c83 Good night, everyone!
Magandang gabi! Kung kayo man ay nahihirapang makatulog, gumawa ako ng blog about it, baka makatulong sa inyo hehe. Heto ang link: https://read.cash/@Marts/tips-on-how-to-sleep-better-a7ab6c83 Magandang gabi sa mga matutulog na! Goodnight :)
Finally woke up seeing an upward trend in the crypto market! Congratulations, hodlers and people with diamond hands haha.
Gusto ko ang sinabi ni Zig Ziglar, isang author. May mga taong nagsasabi na hindi daw nagtatagal ang motivation ng tao. Katulad ng paliligo, hindi rin naman nagtatagal, kaya dapat araw-arawin. Hahaha! Oo nga naman. May mga araw na parang wala tayong motivation. Nakakatamad, nakakapagod. Pero kagaya ng paliligo natin na dapat araw-arawin, gawin din nating regular ang pagmo-motivate sa sarili natin na magpatuloy. Tuloy lang, kaibigan. Kaya mo yan!
Currently working on 2 manuscripts that are due tomorrow. I feel energized haha. I just hope I'll be able to finish these today, so I can somehow relax and do other stuff tomorrow :) Looking forward to the weekend!
Bad decisions make good stories. If I am fail-proof, I guess I'll bank everything that I have in an HYIP, or even Ponzi then withdraw from it as soon as I get my desired profit. I'm fail-proof, in the first place, so there's no need to worry! But I'm not. I'm bound to make wrong decisions. More so, I have limited resources. These factors are the reasons why I need to be careful with everything that I do. We're not living in a make-believe world. We make mistakes, often. Butโฆ
Bukod sa dagat at bundok, namimiss ko rin ang mismong pag-travel. Yung nakasakay ka sa bus, nakaupo sa tabi ng bintana, pinapanood ang mga tanawin at ang pabago-bagong anyo ng kapaligiran. Nakaka-excite isipin na pagkatapos ng pandemyang ito, lalabas na ulit tayo na malaya. Magiging masigla na ulit ang mga tourist spots, at babalik din tayo sa dati. Sana malapit na. Sana ngayon na.
Now I know why comic book and movie fans are hating the recent Fantastic 4, the one with Kate Mara as Sue and Michael B. Jordan as Johnny. Haha. It is booooooring lol. I hope Disney will be able to redeem Marvel's First Family in few years. To balance things out, I'm glad to see The Eternal's teaser trailer today. Angelina Jolie never gets old!
Yehey I'm done with my first exam for the week! But I still have pending requirements to submit huhu. I look forward to finishing this trimester! Konting tumbling na lang!
So let me share a few lines from my notes: Stress is the emotional feeling of being overburdened with something, and/or the inability to respond to the demands of something, whether emotional or physical, actual or imagined. My subject is Stress and Conflict Management. When I was in my Sophomore and Junior years, I see those who took this subject traveling into relaxing places, usually campsites, or mountain resorts, to unwind and de-stress. But in the new normal, onlineโฆ
Ano ang pinaka-stressor mo? Sabi sa subject na tine-take ko, isa sa mga paraan para mabawasan ang stress natin ay i-identify ang ating mga stressors. Knowing your stressor is already winning half the battle :) What do you think, guys? At saan ka ba palaging nai-stress? Hahaha
Just when I thought that I'm done with my Stress and Conflict Management subject, I just learned that the teacher is requiring 4 reflection papers out of 400 pages reading. Ohhh, what a terrible week ๐
Next week, after my ordeal with this final exam and requirements, I will relax and go on biking. It's been a while since I last pedaled around Marikina. My foldie is waiting for me! ๐ฒ
Yehey! Thankful to God I was able to finish and submit my two manuscripts due tomorrow! I'm one day early so I have an extra day to do my 400 page reading and 4 reflection papers due on Friday lol. Sorry for making this site sort of an online journal. ๐
My churchmate posted a picture of the fresh milk she's using for her coffee, and now I feel like I want to brew coffee with the milk she's flexing. Ugh, the ugly side of social media, triggering you to crave even in midnight ๐
In everything, give thanks. Maraming bagay ang dumadaan sa ating mga kamay na minsan hindi natin naaappreciate dahil sobrang normal na lang. But when we look intently and count our blessings, ang dami pala nating natatanggap without us noticing. We are blessed, still :) Goodnight mga katambay!
Dati nakakaramdam ako ng kaunting inis kasi halos lahat ng bills sa bahay ako talaga ang sumasalo. (Though minsan, ganun pa rin naman hehe). Tapos pakiramdam ko, complacent na ang iba kasi nga alam nilang hindi ko matitiis na hindi magbigay. But today I found peace. God blesses me with enough, so I can give. Yung mga prayers ko for provision, binibigay naman ni Lord. Hindi ko lang masyadong napapansin kasi nga dumadaan lang. Pero the mere fact na nakakapagbigay ako for billsโฆ
Because of the pandemic, the book publishing industry is drastically affected. I pray that our book proposal (and proposals from other Filipino authors as well) be given a GO this year. I know how helpful devotionals are especially in these trying times. But even then, I'm still grateful for other platforms where I can "speak life" :)
Random thought: May nakakaalala pa ba sa inyo sa Batibot? Haha. Naaalala ko sina Koko Kwik Kwak, Pong Pagong, Madam Bola, Ningning at Gingging, Sitsiritsit at Alibangbang, tsaka si Kapitan Basa. Hahaha. Sila ang Pinoy version noon ng Sesame Street. Lumaki ako na nanonood ng Batibot. Natuto akong mag-Abakada at magbilang. At naging imaginative din ako dahil sa mga stories na kinukwento nila :)
Hahaha what a review! Now I feel interested to watch this movie just because of this funny review haha. This video competes to become one of my favorite from Screen Junkies :p Watch the humorous vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKvW9xma4U
One thing I hate about my work is asking for receipts, proof of payments, vouchers, acknowledgment receipts, whatever... to prove the existence of a transaction. We can't just rely on word of mouth, it has to be corroborated with a source document. And sometimes when I ask for these documents, people think I don't trust them enough. Umm, yes I do trust people, but I need this job :p
Kahapon may nadaanan akong bakery na nagtitinda ng bagong lutong pudding. Or baka hindi naman bago, wala lang talagang bumibili haha. Mahilig kasi ako sa pudding, lalo na kapag chewy at di tinipid sa gatas. Pero ang regrets ko, hindi ako bumili. Iniisip ko kasi na kailangan kong makauwi agad para di ako abutan ng ulan :) Ang kaso, isang buong araw na ang nakalipas di ko pa rin makalimutan ang pudding na yun. Hahaha sana meron pa, pero sana bagong luto naman. Lol
Bitcoin.com has a new update! Ethereum is now available in Bitcoin.com wallet app. Update yours now!
Tonight is our last day of class, and my last class for the rest of my BTh course yey! I feel so happy! Though I still have a lot of things to do - 400 pages of reading, 4 reflection papers, and prep for graduation... but still, formal schooling is done - for now. Hahaha. See you, Masters (?) lol.

Communicate Your Message Clearly and Effectively Have you ever been misunderstood? It's an awful experience, to say the least. People might think negatively of you or your message might cause harm to others due to misinformation. Misunderstanding might also lead to conflict poor output. It's one thing to be misunderstood, it's another to misunderstand others. Have you ever talked to someone who gives vague instructions and incomplete information? Instead of speeding up theโฆ

A2Z's Wag Kang Mangamba is a very timely TV series to air during this pandemic. People need a reminder that they have Someone to anchor their hopes on, and their faith can bring them through. Unlike its contemporary stories about adultery, incessant fighting, family feud and superficial love stories, WKM is a breath of fresh air. ๐
Blessed morning, noise friends! Sometimes we're afraid to take the first step because we feel like we're not yet ready, or perhaps we're confident that the "next trip" will be better. But it's not always the case. Opportunities will not wait for us to be ready. We have to act as soon as it comes. โOpportunities will come and go, but if you do nothing about them, so will you.โ โ Richie Norton Carpe Diem!
Winners were not born winners; they learned and practiced how to win and they have it! Don't think too little of yourself just because of one mistake. Also, don't compare yourself with others. Grow through what you go through, and soon you'll be able to achieve what you've been aiming for all along. Learn the ropes. Practice. Do what you have to do. All success stories begin with confessions of "I am inadequate". You may not be a winner today but you are slowly gettingโฆ
Narinig niyo na ba ang Lilim ng Victory Worship? Isa ito sa mga calming and reassuring songs na napakinggan ko pre-pandemic. Lalo ngayon na kapag may mga worries in life, I just remind myself through songs like this na may matatakbuhan akong saklolo :) But it's not just about the song itself, but the One being referred to sa kanta. Listen to the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBum0Prrnmo
Deal With Your Stress Accordingly My class in Stress and Conflict Management formally ended a few days ago, and we were asked to share our takeaways from the subject. I love the timing of the subject in the curriculum - it has to be taken in your final trimester of schooling. If not for the pandemic, we could have gone somewhere for a mini-retreat just to relax, but due to COVID restrictions, we're stuck on our computer screens. I am interested in the subject because this isโฆ
How do you deal with stress? I believe that stress management is very essential so we can continue to function normally even in the midst of stressful situations. Some of the things I do to cope with stress are: - write my thoughts down - take a walk, or bike when possible - listen to music, or watch movies - read a book - take a nap - travel (pre-pandemic days allow me to do this) hello, Vitamin Sea and Mountains! How about you, how do you deal with stress?

Isa sa mga palaisipan sa buhay ko, "bakit kaya mas masarap ang pagkain kapag libre?" Natanong niyo na rin ba yan sa sarili? Mas nagiging malinamnam, mas masarap nguyain hahaha. Pero kapag ikaw ang gumagastos sa sarili mong pagkain, parang 'meh' ok lang. Kapag libre, sulit na sulit lol Don't mind me, inaantok lang ako :p
I just watched Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and I loved it. It perfectly described the origin story of Batman and his motivations for taking the role of a symbol seeking justice, not revenge, for his beloved Gotham City. He's a very grounded character, with no powers, but with humanly reasonable determination. This is why He's one of a kind, compared to his colLeagues (yes, I intentionally capitalized L, for Justice League ofc) who are mostly super.
There are lots of interesting Filipino movies with good stories but it feels like searching a needle from a haystack. Maybe because we're just used to mediocre movies and slapstick comedies with countless product placements. But I know there's still hope. We still have talented movie makers out there ๐

The best days are yet to come. My favorite poster in our 2nd year homeroom goes like this "behind the mountains of difficulties lies the valley of success". If your days now are troublesome and brings you to your knees, behold better days are coming!
I was able to finish and pass a while ago the four reflection papers due tomorrow, and I'm very happy about it! I thank God I don't have writer's block lately, else I will struggle with those series of papers ๐ Anyway, let's call it a day!
Blessed morning, everyone! Happy Friday! Woke up with the news of a high school student receiving full scholarship from Yale University :) what a wonderful news! I wonder what's his study habits and the things he usually reads hehe. I don't know you but congratulations, son!

Binigyan ka ng panibagong umaga ngayon para maging pagpapala sa iba :) Simulan na natin ang pagbibigay ng ngiti at pag-asa sa mga tao sa paligid. Any random act of kindness will do :) At anuman ang itatanim nating mabuti ay aanihin din natin sa huli. Kumusta, mga kaibigan? Happy Friday!
It feels weird whenever a classmate or a schoolmate whom you barely even talk to messages you out of nowhere asking how you're doing. Sorry if I'm being judgmental but I think I'll be recruited in some networking or be sold some products. I easily get anxious, please be careful with my fragile heart lol.
Currently taking the minutes of the meeting and I already feel sleepy. Perhaps I'm just excited for the weekend and the month end's pay! Hehe
The news that Category A4 now includes everyone required to leave their homes to work is a welcome development. At least the confusion is lessened and majority of the sectors are now included. Too bad for the housewives like my mother, they still have to wait for their turn to get vaccinated. ๐
Resort owners in Pansol are now accepting guests at a limited capacity. Ohh, if only there are public transpo available just like before! Better yet, if only I have my own car hahaha.
I asked permission from my boss for leave of absence on Monday because I want to take a break, but she told me to bring home with me some office related-stuff so I'm ready to answer whenever she calls me. Lol. Leave, what? :p
To the 666 people who follows my nonsense, you're not a curse - you're a blessing. ๐ But please reproduce, each one bring at least one. Hahaha.
Meet Dolly, my Japanese Spitz. She isn't as active as her sister but whenever she hears the magic words โlabas tayoโ, she gets very excited!
Another random musing: I'm thankful that creepies and crawlies do not grow the same size as dogs and cats. I can't imagine seeing a dog-sized cockroach flying or a centipede crawling towards me like a pet. Good thing, most of our domesticated pets have fur/feathers and 2-4 feet, and not 6 above ๐
I've been very busy today and I will be busy until tomorrow, but whenever I have the chance, I'll post a noise update. But just a highlight of what transpired today: ayun, sobrang ineeeeet lang! haha
Done with the (unexpected) zoom meeting. Is it really weekend? Why is my work following me wherever I go? I should be resting right now! Hahaha. How are you, noise people?!
Umuulan kahit paano kaya medyo lumamig! Naibsan yung sobrang init kaninang maghapon. :) masarap matulog ngayon kahit paano
I just saw this on Facebook: Which do you prefer, high salary with stressful environment, or a healthy and vibrant environment but you receive small pay in return? Good morning, everyone!
I miss attending physical worship service. Online services and fellowships are practical and necessary alternatives during this pandemic season but nothing beats meeting physically. Btw, blessed Sunday, people! It's church day today!
I'm supposed to be on leave but I'm texted earlier today to report to work because of an emergency meeting. Ohh, I love my work, I love my work ๐ Blessed morning, people!
Magandang umaga, Pilipinas! What are you thankful for today? Time flies too fast, bukas June na agad. Konti na lang kakanta na naman ang paborito nating si Jose Mari Chan haha. I'm grateful to the Lord for the strength for today. ๐ Blessings, people!
Looking forward and hoping for a pump today because I have a necessary purchase to make. If only I can pay using BCH it would be less the hassle of converting and bank transfer ๐
My brother and his girlfriend were able to visit Tagaytay this past weekend. Inggit ako haha. Does anyone here know if there's public transport available from Manila to Tagaytay? Badly need a change of scenery. No, not the dolomite beach. It can't do the job. Hahaha. And Grab would be too costly and impractical.
It's been a while since I last ate lechon kawali haha. Tbh, I have a gouty arthritis and it is triggered when I eat too much red meat and mackerel. But today, while hoping that my gouty arthritis will not be triggered, I'm trying to enjoy this occasional guilty pleasure :p #GoutToBelieve
I'm planning to go on biking today, after office. But I guess I'll have to postpone it because rained a while ago. I have not used my foldie for quite some time and I don't want to ride on wet and slippery roads.
The rumor of GCash embracing crypto in their platform is a welcome development. Transactions will be much easier! Hope this will roll out before the year ends ๐
Pakiramdam ko pagod na pagod ako sa buong maghapon kahit nakaupo lang naman ako, nakikinig at nagsusulat. Bakit kaya minsan nakakadrain pa ang mag-isip kagaya ng physical labor? Hehe. Almost dinner time na, mga ka-ingay! Kumusta ang lahat?

Three-month Earnings Report: $678.40 Blogging Income I cannot totally remember the exact date I joined read.cash. However, my account tells me that I am already a three-month-old user of the platform.
