@Marts

As much as possible ayaw ko talaga ng interests and bank charges kaya hanggang kaya gusto kong inuunahan ang mga dues and mga deadlines. Sayang pera huhu.

@Marts

Small Financial Decisions That Really Helps Big February has been a very challenging month for me and my girlfriend. I have exhausted most of my emergency savings and spent the coins and bills I have kept in my coin bank. But I am glad that all these outflows are being used for a worthy investment. Come April, we are already done paying the equity for our future home! I shared our journey for this future home last year on Hive. You may read through this link: Blog: Weekend…

@Marts

Spent the day relaxing in the campus oval of UP Diliman! Glad to have a breath of fresh air while munching chips, lying on my back on the grass, talking about life. Sarap ulit ulitin! Salamat talaga may kaunting green spaces pa rin malapit sa amin bukod sa Riverbanks ☺️

@Marts

Feeling sobrang pagod from the inside out na kahit anong tulog ko, pagod pa rin pakiramdam ko lol. Pero need na bumangon for my night job 😂 nakakalungkot di ako makapagsulat for read cash sa sobrang daming need unahin

@Marts

A Battle Within Early this afternoon, I immediately went to bed as soon as I hit home. I feel so exhausted that I no longer have the energy for *merienda.* I find this weird because I don't think I pushed myself too hard last week. Or did I? I'm not sure. All I know is my mind and body are aching for attention. Before I totally drown in dreamland, I managed to set my alarm by 9 pm so I can squeeze in some night routine. No matter how tired I am, as much as possible I spend…

@Marts

Celebrate, not Calibrate Women Have you heard of the word simp? It is a relatively new term that is a slang insult for men seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially with hopes of winning favors from them. In short, a simp is someone who will do anything for a girl to get something in return. *Simping,* if there's such a term, can be seen in social media, more popularly in TikTok. In a generation devoted to gender equality, being overly pleasant to women can…

@Marts

May energy pa ako. Pero dahil sinabihan akong matulog na, kaya matutulog na rin ako 😂 Take things slow. Tomorrow is another day. Goodnight noisers!

@Marts

Kung magtutuloy-tuloy na ang pagbabalik ng mga physical activities and events, does it mean pwede na talagang magplano ng mga formal gatherings? Ang hirap naman kasi kung nag-oorganize ka tapos biglang magkakaroon ulit ng surge. Sana naman enough na yung effect ng vaccines at herd immunity :) Para naman yung Christmas parties natin sa December ay party na talaga. At makabalik na tayo sa F2F classes. At ayun, makabiyahe biyahe na ulit nang mapayapa. Hehe :)

@Marts

Idlip idlip muna para may energy mamaya! Nagiging routine ko na pagdating ng bahay, konting linis, tapos tulog. Pagkagising dinner tapos trabaho until 12mn :) Sobrang laking tulong nung nap kasi tumatagal ako sa panggabing trabaho 🤸🤹

@Marts

Behind the Diploma I have heard several confessions of students wanting to quit school because they live by the mantra that "grades don't determine future". Their usual example is the success stories of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. These two are just a few famous names who, despite having dropped out of college, became extra successful in life. Who wouldn't love that? Ask any student and most of them will agree that school is difficult. Burdensome to some extent. If we…

@Marts

SENSE OF URGENCY Eto yung attitude na aware ka na kailangan mong kumilos nang mabilis at maagap dahil maraming mapupurnadang trabaho kapag di ka gumalaw. Ayaw ito ng mga taong tamad, passive at pupungas-pungas lagi sa work hahahaha. Sa isang interconnected office system, hassle kapag nasa iyo ang bottleneck ng trabaho. Wag tayong petiks. Lol. Hindi ito rant. Pero pwede na rin. Hahaha! Magandang umaga sa lahat!

@Marts

Kapag masyadong patronizing ang tao, nakakalimutan niya nang maging objective sa decision-making niya. Madalas sinisikap na lang niyang i-please ang iba for several reasons: - para may makuhang pabor - para hindi mapahiya - para magmukhang bida Our decisions must always be objective, not spontaneous or impulsive. Mahirap kapag naging precedent ang isang bagay wala namang magandang basehan. Lalo na kung gusto lang magbida-bida. Haha! Dami kong mema today. Magandang tanghali!

@Marts

Yee thank you Lord for helping me out today! Ikaw lahat yun! I was able to finish all my manuscripts and presentation para sa monday, and natapos ko din yung material na gagamitin for Wednesday yay! Wala lang. Skl haha! Ang saya ko eh 😂 Ready to hit the sack! Goodnight guys! Declaring blessings!

@Marts

Perks of attending meetings - free food! Waiting for lunch mamaya haha. Nasagip ang pambili ko ng pagkain today, kapalit ng pag-upo at pakikinig sa mga diskusyon hehe.

@Marts

Written Communication in the Age of Audiovisual While browsing the internet, I read that the average attention span of humans dropped down from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds in 2021. That means goldfish are slightly better than humans in terms of attention span with their 9 seconds! What a revelation! Source: *Our attention span is shorter than a goldfish’s. Here’s what we can do about it | Commentary*…

@Marts

Proof of Life! Lol. Sharing my entry for this week. This is heavily inspired by the lesson I taught yesterday on class. Yesterday's our first session and I am glad I pulled it off. I realized being a teacher is not an easy feat! It is a very demanding job haha. Appreciate your teachers, guys. But that's for another post when time permits me to do so. Hehe. Here's something about written communication vs audiovisual media…

@Marts

May mga panahong sobrang dami mong iniisip, at kulang ang oras para habulin lahat ng tumatakbo sa isip mo. May mga panahon naman na para kang lutang - kahit anong pilit mong gumalaw-galaw, parang wala ka sa sarili. At meron ding panahon na para kang nasa gitna. Madami kang iniisip, pero para ka ring lutang lol. Magandang hapon, mga ka-lutang! Hahaha

@Marts

Vaccination day ng mga dogs ngayon! Sayang di ko sila na-picturan. Of our two dogs, kita talaga yung difference nila sa attitude. Yung isa gustong gustong gumagala, hindi natatakot kahit sumakay sa sasakyan. Yung isa naman sobrang bahag nung buntot, parang takot na takot sa tao. Sana ok lang sila pag-uwi ko :)

@Marts

Listening to recorded forums on YouTube regarding nonfiction writing. YouTube offers a plethora of learning materials, literally a goldmine of ideas!

@Marts

The True Picture of Success When I ask some of the youth in our church how they feel reaching a certain age after college, most of the time they give a sad answer: a tinge of envy. This is because they can't help but compare themselves with what their batch mates have become. They feel envious as they see their batch mates "living the life" - posting their travels, dining experiences, and making expensive purchases. I can't blame them. I, too, have my share of comparisons,…

@Marts

Happy Friday folks! What's great about Friday is - syempre mahabang tulog mamaya hahaha! Though nagdadalawang isip din ako kasi may sinimulan akong ebook kagabi at sobrang na-eenjoy ko siya. Classic reference book for preachers, "Biblical Preaching by Haddon Robinson". Gusto ko rin sanang i-grab yung time for extended reading. Inabot na ako ng 1am kakabasa pero kahit ebook, pdf format siya somehow na-sustain ko kahit medyo masakit sa mata. Di nga lang makapag-annotate sa…

@Marts

For the past few weeks, I see myself working from 8am-4pm, then 7pm-12mn (I stay up until 1- am at times). Medyo challenging, pero whenever I cross out items on my To-Do List, nae-energize ako. Just recently, naglagay ako ng wall calendar sa harap ng working area ko para visible sa paningin ko ang schedule and mga deadlines ko :) I feel like mas nama-maximize ko ang oras ko ngayon. Yun nga lang, paalala sa sarili, hindi pwedeng hindi magpahinga. Hehe. Pero ayun, iba-iba pala…

@Marts

Of all the female characters in Naruto, Tenten is my favorite. She may not have interesting powers and her teammates may see her as "convenient", but she's an exact picture of a kunoichi! She carries loads of weapons and is an expert with various ninja tools. It's just unfortunate that she only have limited screentime and little to no character development.

@Marts

Sa totoo lang ang thoughtful ng ibang mga lahi dito sa noise. Lagi kang may mare-recieve na good morning, good evening, take care at nice of you. Tapos lagi ka pang tinatawag na dear :) ang friendly nila, in fairness haha

@Marts

May white noise na masarap sa tenga, lakas maka-productive. Pero yung noise na kasalukuyan kong naririnig, nakakainis. May nagja-jackhammer sa labas. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Maayos naman ang kalsada. Another episode na naman ba ng sinisirang kalsada tapos may magkakabit ng tarp na may message, "dadaloy din ang ginhawa" Lol.

@Marts

All is well, Marts. No need to worry. Life may present you with challenges, people may cause you anxiety and doubts, but if you'll just stand your ground and keep your faith in the Lord, rest assured, all is well. Even in the midst of shaking, keep your roots spreading.

@Marts

On Paying Bills and Other Responsibilities Hello, my co-breadwinners! I know a lot of breadwinners reflecting over the thought that sometimes, they think they were born solely to pay bills for the family. To be honest, I stumbled upon this thought too! I can't help but wonder if all the sacrifices I went through growing up are meant to prepare me for the bigger challenge in life which is bringing food to the table or paying monthly bills. It seems like every firstborn is…

@Marts

The temptation to compare yourself with others will always be around. It will haunt us. It will keep us occupied. But when we realize that not all success is tangible and can be posted on social media, then we'll know that we are not really far left behind. You are doing great! Keep on growing! Keep on succeeding! https://read.cash/@Marts/the-true-picture-of-success-defde620

@Marts

Uminom ako ng ceterizine kagabi dahil umatake na naman ang allergies ko at para na rin makatulog ako ng mapayapa. Kaso naman yung drowsiness effect niya abot hanggang ngayon, kaya feeling ko lutang na naman ako sa sobrang antok. May meeting pa naman today. Hoping na makadeliver ng outputs nang maayos :p hello mga ka-lutang! lol

@Marts

Why Gratitude Should be a Way of Life It's easy to spot all the inconveniences for the day. As soon as you wake up, you'll murmur - another day to get to work. Then as you commute, it's difficult to miss the traffic, the pollution, the hassle of commuting with people who are as disgruntled as you. When you come to the office, the boss will greet you with a seemingly endless workload and expectations. Your officemates are no different - they seem to get more annoying with…

@Marts

Early today bago pumasok sa office, sumaglit ako sa Teatro Marikina for National ID application. Ang bilis lang! Pagpasok ko, ako na agad ang sumalang. Few things I noticed: - either marami na ang nakakuha/nakapag-apply ng ID - walang appeal ang national ID sa mga tao, wait na lang kapag i-require na ng national govt, parang registration lang sa kahit ano, kapag last day na tsaka nagmamadali hehe - hindi effective ang promotions kaya marami pa rin ang walang idea sa national…

@Marts

Waiting for jowa mode. First we went to Watsons, then here for her whachumacallit session lol. Pero ok lang naman, at least masaya siya hahaha! And somehow naeenjoy niya kahit paano ang fruits of her hardwork. Ako naman mamama - bibili ng ballpen sa NBS at titingin ng libro sa Fully Booked 😂

@Marts

Orayt! Times up. Tapos na ang weekend date and tomorrow's another day for church ministries and weekend commitments :) On my way home! Skl

@Marts

Bumabalik na sa dati ang commuting. Humihirap na ulit, sumisikip na ulit ang traffic. Yun lang. Ok naman na sana yung WFH set-up kaso at the expense of MSMEs. Mahirap talaga balansehin ang economy 😅

@Marts

My First Month as a Teacher If you have read my posts in the past months, I mentioned that I accepted a teaching load at my alma mater. The subject is Technical Writing and Research. Though I'm not that confident with my writing and research skills, I took a leap of faith. I may not have outstanding credentials, but I know I have something to share. So I obliged. In my third week of teaching, I realized that writing is not everyone's cup of tea, and it is not easy, as others…

@Marts

A Celine Dion kind of afternoon guys! Dahil umalis lahat ng mga kasama namin sa kabilang office at tatlo lang kaming naiwan, para hindi naman masyadong nakakabagot, nagplay ako ng YouTube music. Pero parang masayang makipag-huntahan kay Mareng Celine kaya papabiritin ko muna siya habang nagtatrabaho ako dito. Hahaha Kayo, sinong kasama niyo ngayon in the background?

@Marts

Just a thought. Ang weird nung ibang mga Party List. Ang alam ko they should represent marginalized sectors. Pero ano ba ang nire-represent ng Agimat Partylist? Mga mambabarang? Lol. Eh yung Tutok 2 Win Partylist? Mga winners ni Kuya Wil? Hehe. Sorry na, I did not bother kasi to check 😂 Tapos isa pa. Lahat naman ng congressional districts sa bansa may kanya kanyang seat sa congress. Kaya nga tayo may binobotong representatives. Pero di ba redundant na kung may Partylist pa…

@Marts

Working on a manuscript for a speaking engagement on Sunday! Busy week ahead 😅 Ideas flowing but I don't know how to organize my thoughts. Mabuti na lang tulog na mga tao kaya mas makakapagwork na ako nang mapayapa 😂

@Marts

Hay salamat natapos din ang bulk ng trabaho - nastress ako sa sunod sunod na letters, tapos nagte-take pa ako ng minutes of the meeting, tapos may mga kung anu-anong need i-revise. Pero ayun, medyo kumalma na rin ang mga boss. Lol. Meryenda guys!

@Marts

Congratulations sa lahat! Naka-survive tayo sa petsa de peligro! Lol. Next naman nating kalaban si Judith ang mga John Michael - nan-John kapag Michael-angan. Hahaha! Pero seriously, it's the last day of the month, and of the quarter! Ang bilis ng araw, malapit na ang mahal na araw. Haha! At lalong umiinit ang panahon, at ang ulo ng mga nagbabangayan dahil sa eleksyon. :p

@Marts

Gratitude Challenge: March I did not notice that I reached my first anniversary as a readcash blogger! Writing on this platform opened opportunities for me to learn about crypto, meet new friends, and get acquainted with other blockchain blogging platforms. And in the spirit of thanksgiving, **I challenge myself to post every end of the month all the things I am grateful for the whole month.** If you're into this kind of challenge, feel free to do the same!
