@Marts

Just because everybody is doing it does it mean it's right. Learn to stand your ground, on your convictions, even if you're the last person to do it. It's better to abide by what is right than to go with the flow and be condemned by your inner man.

@Marts

I just drank a different coffee brand from my usual and now my stomach is upset. Is it normal? Or my stomach is just overly sensitive? I already relieved myself twice and now I'm feeling weak huhu. I need a boost! How's everyone?

@Marts

Had to go home early yesterday because of an upset stomach. I also kinda felt feverish and had no appetite to eat. Now, I still feel the growling in my stomach but at least the fever has subsided. I just hope I will get better today.

@Marts

Welcomed the day drinking lukewarm water. I just hope that I'll get better today so I can go back to work tomorrow. Happy Sunday! Don't forget to attend church, physical or virtual!

@Marts

Acknowledge your emotions. Cry when you feel like crying. When you're angry, then be. When you're disappointed, there's nothing wrong with it. If you suppress your emotions, you're only fooling yourself. Just make sure you wouldn't let your emotions take control of your decisions. Acknowledge but always take charge.

@Marts

Nagising ako kasi umuulan. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na malamig ang paligid tapos magkukumot ka. Masarap humigop ng mainit na kape at bagong biling pandesal at mantikilya ☺️

@Marts

Ang hirap sa panahon ngayon kapag nagkasakit ka at nagrequest na mag-leave paghihinalaan ka talaga na covid agad. Medyo nakakastress lang sa part na yun 😹 pero naiintindihan naman natin na lahat tayo kailangang mag-ingat. Kung readily available lang ang covid tests na nabibili sa drugstore, why not? 😅

@Marts

Torn between watching A2Z for laughs or GMA for news. Actually I'm only waiting for Kuya Kim to debut on 24 Oras, if I'm getting the rumors right 😅

@Marts

Have a blessed rainy day ahead! Time to secure your umbrellas, jackets, or raincoats because this is not the perfect time to get sick :)

@Marts

I just read a comment on Facebook that Mang Tani will not be replaced by Kuya Kim in the weather forecast segment of GMA. However, the witty people of the internet replied that they can do a collab so no typhoon can get inside our area of responsibility. Kapag sila daw nasalisihan pa, ewan na lang. Lol

@Marts

Excellence is not dependent on the kind of work you're doing. It doesn't matter whether you're an entrepreneur, a saleslady, a street sweeper or a politician. Excellence is free, but it is not cheap. It is always available, but it has to be pursued, for it is somehow elusive. It requires hard work, but it rewards success ☺️

@Marts

I love the daily quote posted on Momentum today: "It's your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you" We cannot live on borrowed dreams, borrowed passions, borrowed victories and failures. We have to have our own. We have to walk our own road, carve our own path. I remember reading that if our aim is to be just like everybody else, the best thing we can be is Number 2. Stand up and walk on.

@Marts

Time. Process. Waiting. Remember the time when we were still young kids playing with loam, seeds, and gardening tools? Perhaps like me, you tried burying in the ground a tiny seed, watered it, and waited for small leaves to sprout. We were impatient then. We thought that as soon as we do things in order, things work out fine. But we were kids then, novice to the concept of time, process, and waiting. These three things - time, process, and waiting, are not just foreign to…

@Marts

I don't know with you but I can no longer submit an article to the Open for All community. Upon checking, I saw it categorized in the "abandoned" communities. Hmmm.

@Marts

HAHAHAHA TAWANG-TAWA AKO KAY MARITESS! Link: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=537547367219991 To get you in the loop, Maritess is our country's version of a Karen, but more than feeling entitled, Maritess' are more into gossips and rumor-mongering. In this video, a community enforcer tries to apprehend some people, possibly due to loitering, and that lady tries to evade being caught. So she entered someone else's home and pretends to wash their soiled dishes. Lol.

@Marts

Meeting ulit. Parang magiging weekly na ito this month. Maraming napag-uusapan pero marami pa ang hindi nadadaanan sa agenda. Mapapalaban na naman tayo sa pakikinig, pagsusulat for minute-taking :)

@Marts

If you know you did well today, you deserve a tap on the back. Congratulations! But if you think there's still a lot to improve, congratulations still! You're a step closer to excellence. Greatness begins when we acknowledge what we can still improve. We stagnate when we choose to settle. ☺️

@Marts

Ways Listening Can Improve Your Productivity One of my tasks during office meetings is to take the minutes and produce a summary report of the action plans discussed. It was tedious because our meetings take more than half a day, at least twice a month. With more than eight years of doing the task, I have learned a valuable skill that helped me become productive in what I'm doing - the ability to listen well and process ideas. Listening is one of the soft skills we need to…

@Marts

Medyo gipit lang talaga kaya kailangan kong magbakasakali. Sayang din yung premyo. Well hindi man siya kasinglaki ng kinurakot sa Philhealth pero at least malaking bagay na yun! Choosy pa ba tayo? Lol. Cute naman ng lunch ko kanina. 😂

@Marts

In a world where everyone wants to speak their mind, listeners can maximize their craft by being more productive by listening. Listening fosters relationships, improves teamwork through communication, boosts engagement, develops empathy, and makes possible a give and take scenario between talkers and listeners.

@Marts

What is Micromanagement and Why People Micromanage In the workplace environment, extremely close supervision and control of the minor details of an individual's workload and output is called **micromanagement**. This happens when a manager or a supervisor becomes too obsessed with knowing what's happening in a given project and makes superfluous demands. Whenever I go to the department store, I am often annoyed when a saleslady excessively follows me wherever I go. *Note:…

@Marts

I seldom open my Facebook now because of the toxicity of some friends and pages. So I visit Twitter instead since I only follow a handful of accounts there. But even my Twitter feed is becoming toxic. Glad that I still have noise to go to where there are little to no toxic posts around. 😅 Let's keep it this way, folks. Please 🙏

@Marts

One thing that's significantly missing in malls are laughter and noise from children playing and horsing around. Yes, malls are open but it will never be the same without the children. Their joy completes our joy. Hoping that our children suffering much from this pandemic will soon regain what's taken away from them.

@Marts

Mula kaninang umaga pa kumakanta si papa, at nirerecord pa niya ang sarili niya! Siguro frustration niya talagang maging recording artist lol. Pero masaya ako kasi wala siyang ibang bisyo kung di ang kumanta nang kumanta hahaha

@Marts

Paggising ko pa lang kaninang umaga ramdam na ramdam ko na ang simula ng week lol. Ang daming texts na mga things to do. Imagine waking up with to do lists :p Pero thankful ako for all the things to conquer this week! Let's go, people!

@Marts

Posted my second blog on hive via PeakD! But one thing I noticed in hive blockchain is that it has too much security features and a lot of codes haha. It kinda gets confusing 😅

@Marts

I biked to work today! It's been a while since I last used my bike because I opted to walk whenever I can, but this time since I'm planning to visit a funeral later after office, I'll be needed my bike's service :) Have a pleasant day, everyone!

@Marts

How To Spot a Micromanager And What To Do With Them In my previous blog, I talked about micromanagement and the reasons managers and supervisors fall into its trap. Micromanagement is a situation where there is overcontrol of work and processes, usually from a person of authority. Micromanagement is a legitimate issue, for it disrupts work and leads to anxiety and stress to people suffering dealing with it.…

@Marts

I fell ecstatic since yesterday when I saw that my blog in hive got some love haha. Wala lang, ang saya lang for a hive newbie. Pero still, readcash is my first love kaya di ko yun iiwanan :) Have an awesome rainy morning, people! Enjoy!

@Marts

Just because I don't post that much politics on my social media accounts does it mean I don't care and I'm apolitical. The world is already full of toxic people wanting to be heard and mudslinging against each other. I don't want to add to the toxicity. If we really want to educate people about our ideologies, go to where the people are - the market, the factories, places where people don't have the luxury of time to spend debating on social media because they'd rather work…

@Marts

Woke up with a terrible headache! But I still need to come to the office because I have two consecutive meetings to attend. I just hope I'll get better as the day pushes through. For now, I'll just enjoy my sopas. :p Good morning, noise fam!

@Marts

I made a commitment to contextualize (and sort of convert to Conversational Tagalog) our discipleship material in church so it can be easily understood by everyone. I'm having second thoughts whether I over-committed hahaha. Hope I'll be able to deliver 😂

@Marts

If everyone in your circle makes steady progress, then consider yourself blessed to be surrounded by people who are committed to growth. Learn from their habits, listen to their advice. Take note of what they usually do and what they don't. The people we choose to surround ourselves with reveals much about our aspirations in life. Or --- be the one to inspire your circle if you find them not progressing.

@Marts

Ayun kakakwento kakakwento, nasunog ang piniprito haha. It's nice to have some free time this weekend! Finally a pocket of rest. :) How's everyone?

@Marts

Sobrang daming tao kanina sa riverpark. Covid what? Lol. Pero mas marami pa sa riverbanks, as seen on the news. This only proves na sobrang bored na ng mga tao sa tagal na-stuck sa bahay. Hoping na mas maganda Christmas natin this year kaysa last year :)

@Marts

Saying goodbye to weekend is one of the hardest goodbyes in life lol

@Marts

I was wondering why my officemates were not asking for orders for lunch and then to my surprise, a colleague is celebrating her birthday today and treated us lunch! What a blessing, my budget for lunch was spared lol. Small wins adding up! Yay!

@Marts

The Things I Hate Most in People I am an introvert but I am not anti-social. When there is a need to engage with people, I am willing and capable to do so. Perhaps I learned to overcome my tendencies to shy away from people due to my frequent exposure to ministries involving relationships. I also learned that no one can't effectively minister unless they know how to engage with different kinds of people. However, sometimes people get the best of me. Even if I can say that I…

@Marts

Just woke up! I love that few minutes of sleep as soon as I come home from the office. I feel refreshed and ready to hustle, study or just relax my mind doing other stuff.

@Marts

I don't know with everyone else but it's a different kind of peace when your boss is not around in the office. However, there's a different kind of panic when your boss is not around during crucial moments. Haha!

@Marts

Capping off the night with another meeting in preparation for Saturday's event! But I hate it because my left foot feels a bit off. I just hope this is not because of gout.

@Marts

Startled by the news of a friend's teenage son who died today due to dengue. Then two more deaths were also reported in the office today. What a heartbreaking day :(

@Marts

In case you have time, I uploaded a sample video on 3Speak. I extracted one of my YouTube videos and cross-posted it on 3Speak as part of my Hive Blockchain exploration. :) Here'st the link: https://3speak.tv/watch?v=emvhie03/cnfsjyxp But I discovered that BCH has its own video sharing platform, gaze.cash! Has anyone tried it out?

@Marts

Hindi pa rin ako nakakauwi dahil inaayos pa namin ang technicals for tomorrow night's and saturday afternoon's event. So medyo gutom na rin ako, and inaantok na rin. Worse, umaatake ang gouty arthritis ko kaya mahirap mag-twist twist ng ankle. Haha Dinner na guys! Or late na actually for dinner haha

@Marts

Celebrating my 100 subscribers, and 8 productive months on read.cash! This may not seem much compared to others but still, grateful for this awesome platform and the awesome people in it! To more years of content creation! Yay!

Presenting: Our Loving Dogs "The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it." - Michel Houellebecq I watched a short video on Facebook about a German Shepherd left by his owner in the airport. The dog tried to run after her owner but to no avail. For a long time, the dog waited and waited until she contacted arrhythmia. Fortunately, a little boy took care of her. This lad also lost a loved one, just like the dog. And just when…

@Marts

Went to Worlds of Fun this afternoon and tried some games. It's awesome to have most of the arcades with no competition and with no eyes watching you as you play. But this entertainment spot feels empty. I can't wait to see Worlds of Fun packed with people again.

@Marts

Almost my whole shift was spent counting coins! I've been counting and sorting and packing coins since 9am today and I just finished. Now, they're ready for bank deposit! Need thorough sanitizing!

@Marts

Masyado na yata akong tutok sa Wag Kang Mangamba hahaha nalulungkot ako na malapit na matapos ang istorya. Nakakainis din si Deborah sarap kutusan lol. Pero nai-stress ako sa mga citizens ng Hermoso. Di ba sila nag-iisip? Hahaha! Actually if we'll look at the bigger picture, it is some sort of a social commentary that resembles a lot of actual events that happen in real life. Ayun.

@Marts

Don't Get Tired of Waiting I remember when I was in college, I endured the waiting lines for almost everything: entering the school gates, paying for school fees, going to the library, transacting with the Office of Student Affairs, even lining up for drinking fountains! But my friends from a known State University brag that their waiting lines are worse. Every semester when they need to enroll for their subjects, they have to endure hours of waiting. It went on even until…

@Marts

New article is up! Waiting is a part of life. We can't get everything in an instant, and if we do then this world would be full of impatient people. We will always act out of our whims. Waiting can be a season of growth and reflection. Don't get tired of it. Read more: https://read.cash/@Marts/dont-get-tired-of-waiting-7053a494

@Marts

Though I'm not an expert at claw machines, it is still one of my favorite games in any amusement areas. I love the excitement of having your chosen stuffed toy getting “clawed” out of the box. But to date, I haven't won any single toy. Hahaha! I just lost money over the years 😂

@Marts

If you want to be a good leader, treat others as you would like to be treated. Praise in public, rebuke in private. Respect boundaries and uphold people's decency. Honor your people so they would honor you. Don't act like a slave master.

@Marts

Spending time with nature relaxes my eyes from the strain of working for hours in front of a computer. But I can only do it on weekends because my weekdays are packed.

@Marts

Isa sa pinakamahirap sagutin na tanong para sa akin yung araw araw kang tanungin kung anong gusto mong ulam. Hahaha! Hirap din mag-isip a. Kaya naaappreciate ko ang mga nanay. Ang galing nila kasi nae-endure nila ang palagiang pag-iisip 😂

@Marts

Isa sa kinaiinisan ko lately ay ang bangayan ng mga tao sa social media regarding politics. Nakakadrain siya ng peace. Hindi ka naman apolitical, kasi somehow may mga personal standards tayong pinanghahawakan sa pagpili, pero parang ang gusto nang marami ay makisali ka rin sa bardagulan lol. Can we be more decent, friends? Buti na lang dito sa noise, chill lang tayo. Let's keep it this way guys ah? Iwan na natin ang toxicity sa labas ng noise. Haha!

@Marts

Lessons I Gleaned from the Book The Way of The Shepherd When I left my previous employer in 2013, my supervisor gave me a book as a parting gift. The title is "The Way of the Shepherd," written by Kevin Leman and William Pentak. It is a compact book about leadership. I thought I lost the book due to occasional flooding in our area until a friend returned it to me, though with spill marks and stains that are sure to ruin any book lover's mood. But still, I'm glad that it has…

@Marts

Gaano ka kalutang today? So nanghingi ng orders ng lunch sa GC namin and may option dun na chicken fingers with BBQ sauce. Grabe yung imagination ko, kasi akala ko literal na daliri lang ng manok ang ulam. E di ang liit nun! Mabubusog ba ako e halos buto lang yun. Lol. So chicken breast part pala yun na hiniwang pahaba. Hahahaha!

@Marts

The True Test of Generosity I'm always fascinated with the account of the Macedonians in the Bible. The Bible mentions that despite the great poverty they were experiencing, they insisted on sharing their resources to fund the ministry. They were partners with Paul in the gospel. They don't have to - and they have a compelling reason not to do so. But they insisted and excelled in this act of giving. *"Amid a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty…

@Marts

A new article is up! It was inspired by our topic from tonight's prayer meeting. "The test of generosity is not when we are abounding and don't need anything. The test is when we don't have anything. Generosity is not a one-time act but a lifestyle. It is to be done in excellence, not out of compulsion but out of love. " https://read.cash/@Marts/the-true-test-of-generosity-415de9f9

Pa-rant lang slight. Ang aga kong na-stress dahil kailangan kong maghanap at mag-sort ng mga names sa facebook, see which accounts are legit and active - e pare-parehong pangalan at pictures! huhu bakit kasi kailangang sangkatutak ang account ng isang tao? lol Legit nakakastress. Bibigyan ka ng generic, minsan absurd facebook names like Totoy Pogi then you have to identify sino siya dun sa maraming search results hahaha

@Marts

This is a pastor appreciation gift I received from one of my former Sunday school students. I handled her class when she was still in Grade 3 and now she's already a Licensed Professional Teacher handling her own class! It's nice to be remembered and appreciated 😊

@Marts

Speak it up! Last night, my girlfriend and I were happily discussing things through messenger until she brought up a topic I seldom talk about - politics. No, I am not apolitical. I have my personal preferences and standards in choosing qualified candidates, but I'd rather keep them to myself for various reasons: ***First***, as a denominational minister, I am mandated to be non-partisan so as not to influence the decisions of our adherents. We know that leaders are looked…

@Marts

It's Friday! Congratulations guys, we made it! Long weekend ahead 😅 but not for me, I still have work this Sunday and a meeting on Monday 😭 But still, great times ahead. Ready or not, November is coming! 💪 What's exciting about this Friday? 1. A welcome to the long weekend 2. Payday, yay! 3. Last day of our weekly conferences 4. Weekend wanderings! 😂 Happy weekend, guys!

@Marts

Anyone here who plays MIR4? It's an mmorpg game where you can gather darksteel than can be traded for Draco token. I play it during my free hours and in few weeks of playing I only have earned 3 Draco. But those who allots more time earns more.

@Marts

I'm on my way to visit my GF and I'm thinking hard since Thursday what food to bring for the family. This is one of my weaknesses, I am a bit indecisive when it comes to my personal food choice, let alone for a big family 😂 My default choice is roasted chicken. Always 😂

@Marts

Finally our month-long weekly conferences is done! Glory to God yay! Nakakapagod pero sulit naman, pero ayun nakakapagod talaga hahahaha! Walong conferences din yun kaya halos ubos na hehe. Ngayon lang nakapag-post ulit hehe
