Day 19 - First love
`08.03.22`
How true to some people when we say *'first love never dies'?* What does it mean or to who are we referring to?
Welcome to my 19th day of the 30day writing challenge. I am actually thankful to join this challenge and in a few days I'll be done doing this. Do you have any recommendations about prompts that I can do soon?
Here's our calendar of topics:
Anyway, let's go back to business.
Honestly, I don't know who exactly my first love is. Instead let me share a bit of what or who I think are my firsts.
First real crush
I remember that whenever I had a CRUSH on somebody, I don't talk to them. I just don't know if it's right to speak to that person or maybe I am just afraid if that person will like me too.
My first real crush was my classmate in 2nd year highschool. Let's name him, JET. He had a girlfriend that time and imagine that I didn't get a chance to have a real conversation with him, even in school activities. I just watch him play basketball, play guitar and listen to him and his friends fool around. I remember that we had a group activity and we went to his house and suddenly he asked me if I want to borrow his guitar. hihi
First real romantic emotion
I was in 3rd year high school and JC was one of the playful guys in our class. I was able to get somehow close to him and then suddenly realized that I like this guy. Maybe his volleyball skills got me liking him. He was crushing or courting one of our classmates back then and I knew that he wouldn't like me back but I used to tease him and gave him an idea that I like him.
4th year highschool came and our 3rd year class are still hanging out and play volleyball whenever we have time. While we are on our way to the court, he was teasing me of having a boyfriend or somehow taunted me to be his girlfriend. I know that it wasn't real and he was just being playful again so I ignored it even if I was *kiliging* inside.
First boyfriend, first love?
I had my first boyfriend when I was in 1st year college. I can't remember what month but it was around our 2nd semester. He was also my first kiss.
You know sometimes girls have this fantasy that firsts are magical or special. For me it was at first until it wasn't. I never imagine that my first boyfriend would even try to hook up with other girls just because I don't have any experience yet. He confessed out of nowhere, I was shocked. I forgave but I fell out of trust, fell out of love.
There wasn't something special in my firsts to be honest but I got to value the relationship that we had and learned from it.
Life was indeed a trial an error. Some people were lucky to find their match and turned out to be their first. To some people like me. I had to try. I had to search. I had to experience heartbreaks before I found the one.
To me, my first wasn't that special but the last one will stand for a lifetime.

The positive
`08.02.22pm`
2020 suck. Pandemic hit, unfortunate events all over the globe that we can't name all. I never imagine in my lifetime that I would be able so see or experience things like this.
`I would love to thank my remaining sponsors huhu. I promise once I recover from all the things that's happening in my family, I'll make it up to the users that I used to sponsor.`
Anyway, this is just going to be a short experience post on what happened last week.
I tested positive for COVID-19 via antigen test.
Timeline
**07.22.22 Friday 10pm**- flight from Manila to Cebu
**07.23.22 Saturday** - We went to the hospital to visit my MIL who is in ICU. Had lunch with my father and sister in law, then went to Carmelites Monastery to pray for my MIL's condition to be better
**07.24.22 Sunday** - went back to the ICU and had lunch with the whole fam. Went to Robinson's to buy shoes for my FIL, had dinner and went home
**07.25.22 Monday** - stayed at home, throat feeling a little bit itchy or sore. SassaGorl had a few cough and she started feeling a bit warmer than her usual temp and had cold. We consulted her pedia via online consult and recommended to test her for COVID-19, prescribed meds for cold and cough. We bought antigen test kits and we tested ***negative***
**07.26.22 Tuesday** - Husband went to the port to book a ticket going back to Leyte for work. He left us in Cebu. My cough was progressing so we asked my FIL to buy cough meds.
**07.27.22 Wednesday** - Just as I thought that my cough was getting better, I woke up at 4am chest tightening and having hard time breathing. Woke up at 8am and used the extra test kit we bought.
I tested ***positive***.
I messaged my sister-in-law that we won't be getting out of the room and asked how are they feeling. Good thing that they were all okay.
**07.28.22 Thursday** - still having hard time breathing every time I talk or do anything. I said *'literal na nakakapagod huminga'.*
**07.29.22 Friday** - less cough, a little bit better breathing
**07.30.22 Saturday up to now** - feeling better, no cough, no more hard time breathing but will still isolate for one more day to be sure my in-laws are safe from us.
Pre-cautions and medicines
I was actually surprised when I asked my SIL to report it in the LGU. My husband and her recommended not to because they might ask us to do the rt pcr test in their facility which may have more contagious people. We did home quarantine secretly.
I wasn't prescribed any meds because we didn't report it. I continued taking Ascof Lagundi Capsule and Berroca, gargled Bactidol for my sore throat and eat fruits rich in Vitamin C.
Vaccines
I am fully vaccinated with Sinovac and have 2 booster shots of Pfizer. You might be wondering why I still did get COVID-19. As what we all know, COVID-19 vaccines helps lessen the severity of the symptoms. It doesn't mean that we are totally immune to the virus.
How, when, where and why did I get it?
Same questions ran in our heads too. We travelled recently and it is partly our fault as we got too complacent thinking that we were still in Marikina. Honestly, I never felt more safe in our city because we only had a few cases to none for the past few months.
When I told my husband that I might be positive, he was in a conference meeting and he got out immediately to check me and the result. He referred to the doctors he knew and told him that it was ***weakly positive*** because of the faint line in C. I told him if the line in T was faint it might be false positive but as you can see on the picture above, the line in T was thick.
My husband was tracking where did I get it. I told him that it is impossible for us to know. Most likely we got it in the airport or in the hospital.
Why did I get it? I only have one theory and I confessed to my husband about it. I told him I smoke sometimes especially when I go visit the house in Bulacan. That was the only reason that I can think of that made me experience the hard time breathing symptom.
Protocol
Since we didn't report it to Cebu's LGU, I asked my sister about it because they got COVID-19 after the holidays (around January as far as I can remember). They were instructed to monitor their temp or health for 5 days from the day of testing positive. Once they feel better, they have the option to have themselves tested again in their own expense.
Today is my 5th day of quarantine and I asked my husband when should I test myself again. He said take it on Wednesday to be sure. it might still be too early to test and to be sure that we or I don't have it anymore.
SassaGorl was with me all the time. I know that it's risky but I don't have someone to look after her. She's still in the process of getting to know her aunt and cousins on my husband's side and they still don't know how sassagorl acts. I am glad that I tested her when she had a fever but thank goodness, she's negative. Yes she had fever for a day but I think it's because a new tooth came out again, which made her very very uncomfortable for a few days.
Just 2 more days and we can go out of our room now. Sassagorl is getting bored than ever as a little 1y/o who is already on the exploration stage.

I Saw the Sign
07.27.22 pm
What's your sign? Do you even believe in Horoscopes, perfect match signs? Me, I am just trying to get by day by day and live my life in the way that I know I am.
Welcome to my continuation of the 30-day writing challenge. This is my day 17 and let's see if my sign fits my personality.
Let's take a quick look on what other topics shall we do soon.
I am an Aries
source https://www.astrograph.com/learning-astrology/aries.php
I think it's also a coincidence that I was also born on the year of the Ram or Goat. Perhaps my ram or aries traits are doubled and is a challenge to the people around me.
Before we check whether their description of Aries fits me or not, I would like to share to you my first tattoo.
source: from my instagram account
Did you see the hidden mickey?
I searched for a few traits that Aries have. Let's see if it's a check or a double check or nah for me.
Traits mentioned below are from this link source https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chatelaine.com/living/horoscopes/aries-zodiac-sign/amp/
Aries: What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Love, Work, Friends And More
March 21 – April 19
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and the first one ready to jump in the pool. Your ruling planet is Mars, the planet of war, and that accounts for your bossy reputation. You have a desire to be first and lead the charge of progress. As a fire sign, you are energetic and love to get involved — and sometimes you act before considering all the implications. You can get hot under the collar and act out, especially when you don’t have enough space to do you.
**The ram is passionate, determined and independent.**
I am sometimes bossy but depends on the person or people I should be bossy with. Let's just say bossy when I have to.
Best traits
Assertive, determined, passionate, forthright and independent
It's a yes for me.
Work
You’re naturally competitive, so finding your rhythm at work is all about finding that carrot. You do really well when you know what you want and what’s to be gained from getting it, so uncertain times are especially hard on you. Feeling important is an essential component of your happiness at work, so if you’re not appreciated, you’re probably not in the right place.
While reading this, I realized something and this might be exactly like me.
Love
Aries are passionate, with the tendency to either fall head over heels in love or not be interested at all. When you’re in love it’s easy to forget to check-in with your partner to make sure that they’re on the same page as you. The way to your heart is by someone thinking that you’re the best and most important person in town. Compromise is not your strongest quality, but what you lack in diplomacy you make up for in passion.
Another yes for me. Though I believe that there are things that you can do when you are in a relationship. I've learned to compromise.
Friendships
You’re a dynamic and fun friend who is at your best when there’s lots going on with people who excite you. That means you love having people in your life that challenge your worldview, inspire you to get to your next level, and are engaged by their own lives. It’s possible that you grow bored of your friendships — the trick is to make sure that you’re not just restless before you pull the plug.
More like I keep friends who have the same energy as me and inspire, motivates me.
Family
Because you’re so independent, family matters can be complicated. As much as you like your home base to be covered, you hate to feel penned in, and can lash out when you do. With your chosen family you do best when you retain your autonomy, so there’s always something lively that you can bring home to your loved ones.
This one kind of hit me hard hahahaha
No more further explanations. I AM INDEED AN ARIES! It's a double check for everything.
It's also a coincidence that my mother is an Aries too and my father was born in the year of goat. No wonder we clash hahahahaha.
I still have a few days remaining for this challenge. Hoping to finish it soon!!

Checkout, PayLater, Home Later
07.27.22
Online shoppers here we go. I gave in using my SpayLater payment option in Shopee last Payday sale. It was a bit timely and I also took advantage of the delivery fee. Whew!
Let's check out my most recent purchase on Shopee during the 7.15 Payday sale. Just a heads up, these are items that we needed in our mini house renovation.
Flush door for the rooms.
Sliding doors for the rooms to maximize the space.
Affordable Door lock.
I know that some of you may wonder why did I purchase home improvement stuff on shopee rather than buying from any home depot stores. Here are the reasons why:
It's a little more expensive
Added delivery service that will cost you depending on the milage
You will need to spend time going from different stores to canvass door styles and materials. Good for you if you have a car.
One risk of buying such things online is we are not sure of the quality. I only based my judgement from the comments and reviews of the people who bought the same item. So far, ratings and reviews are okay. I am hoping that the materials will last long too.
If you think about it spending a little too less from what I saw from Wilcon Depot and Builder's Warehouse in Bulacan, is the risk in buying the doors online. If the reviews are okay, there shouldn't be any problem and I also took advantage of the Full Free shipping voucher! Yes! I got a voucher for 100% free shipping for items worth of 2000 and above. That's why I convinced my husband too purchase the doors online instead. We saved 500 pesos of shipping fee and we don't need to worry how to bring the door straight to Bulacan. I just asked a favor to my friend who lives there too. Whew!
I have checked the door locks and looks like it's okay. All we need to do is to look for a person who can install the door.
Sadly, we needed to leave Marikina to support my MIL. I am lucky to have friends who I can trust with things like these. I asked one of my bestfriend who were a student of interior designing so she has more knowledge and she's my quality assurance checker. I didn't leave house matters to my parents because they won't be able to manage it correctly or the way that we want to.
We haven't fully renovated the house at the moment, we just want to make it secure so that our things will be safe. We are looking forward on settling down on our own home soon!
For the meantime, finances are put on hold because of what happened to my MIL. All we can do is to hope for her recovery.
Heartsu to alls!

Maayong Adlaw Cebu!!!
`07.26.22`
Sudden turn of events for past few weeks. Sudden change of plans and everyone in our family is hoping for the better days. Looking and waiting for something unexpected to happen..
Tagalog muna ako for today's bidjow. Update post lang muna ako dahil wala akong post for past couple of days.
Parang gusto ko na magtagalog muna sa mga susunod kong article kasi wala akong makausap masyado ng tagalog. Why? Because we travelled to Cebu.
Maayong adlaw mga cebuano jaaaaan!!
Wala akong masyadong posts again for the past few days. Mejo paiba iba pa kami ng plans lately because of what's happening. Mejo wala ding time para makapagpost ng content and mejo mas nag decrease and earnings ko dahil dun. Pero anywaaaaaay, konting chika muna tayooo.
Arrived
Nakarating kami dito sa Cebu last Friday. Originally plan namin na next month pa pumunta after masettle lahat ng kailangan namin. We took the plane para makatipid and mas mabilis dahil mahihiluhin nga din ako sa byahe. I'll share later on ang aming first time experience ni SassaGorl sa airplane.
Urgent support needed
Kinailangan namin magtravel ni to Cebu dahil nasa ICU ang mother-in-law ko. It was a sudden twist kasi akala namin is nagiging okay na sya since nahospital sya last January. Nainform kami na nagheart-failure and may other issues pa na nakita sa lungs dahil may asthma si MIL. Basically the doctor diagnosed her with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Broken heart syndrome. She's in ICU since last week and bills are going up that we can't keep up.
I am asking for you help if you know any organizations na pwede namin malapitan financially.
For the meantime, dito muna kami sa Cebu dahil need ng support ni MIL. Navisit na namin sya sa ICU pero hindi pa allowed ang mga minors kaya di pa nya nakita ang apo nya sa amin.
We are not yet here for vacation
Kahit gustuhin naming maglibot, di pa namin kakayanin and konting araw lang ang meron ang asawa ko. Need nya bumalik sa Leyte for work again. For now, malaman lang ng MIL ko na ang buong family nya ay malapit lang para magfight din sya. We are all hoping for her fast recovery. Please do include my MIL to your prayers kasi di ako malakas kay You-Know-Who.
Constant worries
Since nasa side kami ng family ni husband, meron akong iilang inaalala or worries na di ko pa alam ano gagawin ko.
Pano ko madidisiplina ang anak ko sa harap ng sister inlaw ko. May fear talaga ako na baka ijudge nila ako dahil laking Manila ako or something, dahil nadin kasi hindi sanay si SassaGorl makipaglaro sa ibang bata. Madalas pa sya nangungurot at nakakahampas kapag frustrated sya.
**Assistance**. Dahil babalik ang asawa ko sa leyte, super minimal ang assistance ko, though andito ang mga pinsan nya na kahit papano ay pwedeng magbantay sa kanya.
**Magbisaya**. Marunong naman magtagalog ang sister-inlaw ko at ang mga anak nya pero englisero din kasi US citizen ang mga bata. Mejo mabagal nga lang sila magtagalog kaya I really need to adjust.
**Impressions.** Isang taon na kaming kasal ng asawa ko at ngayon ko lang nameet ang family nya in person and yes dahil sa COVID-19. Natatakot ako sa impressions nila sa akin at sa pagpapalaki ko sa anak namin. Nagworry lang ako lalo dahil, nabanggit ng FIL ko na maldita daw si SassaGorl dahil nanghahampas at nangungurot. Inexplain naman ng husband ko na hindi pa nga sya nakakapagsalita and bihira kasi sya magkaroon ng kalaro noon. One week every month lang kasi nagstay ang pamangkin ko noon sa amin. Since parehas pa silang toddler, nagaagawan pa sila sa toys and out of frustration nagtatapon sya ng gamit.
Ilang araw na naman ako nawala. Mejo need lang magadjust muna since ilang days pa lang kami dito sa Cebu. Need ko lang ng systema ulit para makapagpost ako ulit dito sa @Read.Cash.
Mejo nalate nako sa pagpopost ng articles at natambakan na. Wala din munang pictures for day hahahaha. I'll try to keep up again soon. For the meantime, waiting kami sa MILna makalabas na sana sy9a kahit sa ICUman lang.
We need your help goize, thank you sa magppray for my MIL.
heartsuuu

Absence
`07.21.22`
Presence of something or someone makes you miss them on their absence. Maybe this is to balance life and we have to figure out for ourselves on how should we cope up with it.
Welcome to my 16th day on my 30-day writing challange. Whew, I am halfway through it and I am hoping to see a new one soon.
Something that I miss.
There's a few actually and most of it were just things that I used to do before I gave birth.
***Gaming***
I know hahaha! I don't usually play mobile or pc games but I find it relaxing when I get to play. I remember playing Batman Asylum on it's 1/100 game mode when I am not on a good mood to release my frustrations.
source https://m.igdb.com/games/batman-arkham-origins-deathstroke-challenge-pack
I get to smash 100 people coming in and I try to do a goal of not breaking the combo.
Since I can't play yet, I am telling my husband to play that mode in Arkham Knight to release his stress.
***Drinking***
Keep in mind that I am an occasional drinker, but when the pandemic hit I felt like I needed to drink to make me sleep. Good thing that habit stopped when I got pregnant.
I still don't drink alcohol yet because I am breastfeeding. I remember the time that I drank 1 glass of red wine and my breastmilk almost ran out. I got scared and I don't want to let that happen again. But I still do miss drinking hahahahah!
***Going out with friends***
Among four of us, I am the first one who got to have a family. I don't go out much because I am a full time mom. There are times that I get to see them go out without me and I miss those times too. I miss the times that we got to go somewhere and do nothing but trashing each other's decisions in life. I miss the times where in we don't seem to care about time when we are together. In fact, we still seem not to care about the time when we are together but now I remind them to go home because SassaGorl will go to bed hahahahah!
***Cursing people***
I know, I know! hahahahaha! I curse, a lot. If you know me personally, you would see the difference of me cursing as an expression/ filler and cursing with feelings. I think I got that habit when I hangout with my guy friends back then.
Now I got to limit cursing because I don't want to sound like a f*(#@) bad mother. Char! It's just that at my baby's age, she's starting to understand words and imitate the sound so no bad words for mommah hahahaha!
***Drive dates with Husband***
My husband and I dated for a few months and got married after a year. When we were still dating, we get to drive around because he's spontaneous like that. We go somewhere not planned because all we care was just the two of us.
We will soon drive or go somewhere as a family but things are needed to be planned. Having a toddler or baby requires more things and effort when traveling.
***Working***
I am one of the mother who misses having my own money and job. I miss working so I can provide for myself at least.
Since I got to be a full time mom, a job with no salary and 24/7 duty, the only thing that I can do to help my husband is to take care of our SassaGorl, breastfeed her and do other stuff that I can do to lessen the expenses.
I am very thankful that my husband appreciates it. The other day he thanked me for taking care of our baby and I love hearing that. It really takes 2 to tango.
What a rainy morning here in Metro Manila. There are sudden turn of events lately so our plans have changed.
Just like my bestfriend always say, 'we are looking for better days.'
Fishout!

1 Week Binge Watch
07.20.22
I haven't watched K-dramas for a while now. I only have watched a few K-dramas but I am not a K-drama fan. Last week, I got to watch a few Korean series while I was taking my week off from @Read.Cash
What got me watching Korean series?
I was just trying to get my energy back or let's just say adjusting to my SassaGorl's new phase, which I will share soon too.
Anyway, I got the time and attention to watch a few series last week. SassaGorl and I now have a habit of watching something that can put her to sleep. Sadly, cartoons doesn't get her interest. She likes watching real people on on TV.
While I was browsing through Netflix, I saw Rain, the K-pop idol/actor. I liked that guy to be honest and clicked on the show.
THE GHOST DOCTOR
The story is about 2 doctors in the same hospital. One skilled but as arrogant as he can be, Dr. Cha Young-Min, and one is a resident doctor who people labelled as genius but has a fear of handling surgical operations, Dr. Go Seung-Tak.
I am not going to spoil the full details of the series because me not like that. hahahah!
Anyway, as from the title itself. Dr. Cha got into an accident that made him put in coma for months and his ghost lingered in the hospital. Go Seung-Tak on the other hand can see ghosts but ignore them as he sees them. Of course other people will be frightened if they knew.
Dr. Cha's ghost can he that his body is in critical condition and needs an operation. Surprisingly in the OR, his ghost can see what's gonna happen on his body and as soon as he touched G0 Seung-Tak, his sould entered the body, which ended up on Dr. Cha operating on himself using Go Seung-Tak's body. Did you get the picture?
Dr. Cha's ghost may be able to possess Go Seung-Tak's body and help other patients but... Is he really the ghost doctor? Watch it and find out. hihihihi
HAPPINESS
When this series came out, I just watched another zombie movie or series which made me ignore it. When I finished watching The Ghost Doctor, took a chance to watch this.
I thought that it was a typical zombie story but somehow what I liked about this series is that the zombies didn't get much air time. They focused the scenes on the story and the characters. I love that it's not as bloody as other zombie movies and the female main character didn't need to be saved like in other typical tragedy love stories.
Pardon me if I will leave you hanging like this. But I actually enjoyed watching, these series helped me put Sassagorl to sleep for the past few days.
I wonder what should we watch next....🤔🤔
Meanwhile ....
I also plan to post 2 articles to catch up but we had an emergency and looks like we will travel sooner than we thought. At the moment, I am rushing things and I am at Lto East licensing office to get a driver's license. I hope I still have the energy to post everyday especially Bch is looking greeen.
Looking forward for betterer days!!
Fish out!

Greens and Reds for yesterday and for BCH
`07.19.22 am`
List. We usually use bullet points when we list something to point out or emphasize important information within any written document, presentation or articles.
Today I'm going to share a little bit of what happened yesterday as my day 15 on the 30-day writing challenge.
Let me fire a few bullets! Lez gooo!
***Bulacan house update (GREEN)***
I visited our little house renovation again to check how's eveything going. Eveything is looking pretty good so far and hoping that everything will be finished soon.
A few friends and cousin asked me when we will transfer to Bulacan. My husband decided to renovate the house before we go to Leyte or Cebu. My parents here in Marikina will be moving out soon too and will transfer to Cavite. Some of our things are still here and we will need a secure place before my parents and I move out.
But before I went to Bulacan, I received a message from my sister in-law. It's not a good news.
***Crochet delivery (GREEN)***
I have a cousin who got a house in Bulacan too. My sister just finished doing my cousin's bra top and asked me to deliver it to her when I go to Bulacan.
My sister has been crocheting for a couple.of years now and getting betting. She has an Fb page, Floop, and her Shopee Shope here. Here's a few products that she made. https://www.facebook.com/floopcrafts/ https://shopee.ph/floop?smtt=0.272733686-1658185271.9
***Chika with my cousin (GREEN)***
I had a chance to have my me time when I go to my cousin. She's a mother for 2 kids and we she's just a few years older than I am. We get along so well and we tried to catch up. I am thankful that she knows that wants me to stay longer whenever I visit their house. She knows how I needed to be away and be myself for a little while. However, around 3pm I told her that I need to go home but it rained I ended up staying until 6pm unti the rain stopped because I don't want to book a Grab going home, I might get nauseaus on the way home.
Anyway, we talked about things. Life, relatives, motherhood, and shitty stuff. I am at least happy to have her close to me.
***MIL in ICU (RED)***
I received a message from my sister-in-law that Mama is in ICU. I messaged my husband right away and tried to call him but can't reach him. I tried to call him again after I'm done with my business in Bulacan and gladly he answered the call. Reception in his area wasn't that good that's why we've been having hard time to reach him.
I told him to call his ate or Papa to check for updates. Good thing he reached Papa but Mama is still in ICU and waiting for her to be stable. My husband told me that Mama had a blockage in the heart but we have yet to get more details about it.
I also feel bad that being away with my husband causes him more stress and he gets to turn his stress to his co-workers. We've been discussing since last night if we might need to go to Cebu sooner than planned.
***Riders asking to cancel the ride (RED)***
I've been going to Bulacan via Angkas or Joyride. I already got a rider via Angkas.
Then I suddenly received a call from the rider, asking me to cancel it because I can't wait. I don't want to cancel it on my end because it will affect me in booking another rider. He told me that he cannot cancel it on his end because he needs to call support for cancellation. I got more pissed because he told me that it was my decision to cancel the ride. I cancelled the ride but I sent an email complaint to Angaks Support.
What really hit me was he told me that he will take 40mins to go to the pick up location while the gps on the map says he's only 10mins away. The app won't get riders that are too far from the pick up location.
**Bch going back up! (GREEN)**
It was actually very nice to see that BCH is going back up. A few minutes ago here's how BCH is going
Looking good BCH! Go greener!
Oh you can see my BCH balance hahahah! I actually got the chance to hodl my bch earnings since last month. I am hoping to see a 1BCH balance on my account before I withdraw it all and pay the gift I purchased during the father's day hahaha.
**Free bitcoin cash payout! (GREEN)**
It's my 3rd week to get something from the Free Bitcoin Cash App.
I let SassaGorl press the spin button because she is the lucky one.
LET'S GO GREEN PLEASE! No more reds.
I am really hoping to get more greens for the next few days.
For people who are reading this and is close to God, please include my mother in-law in your prayers.
Let's enjoy our day!

This is it Pansit!
`07.18.22 pm`
Filipinos celebrate every birthday with Pansit or Pasta. It is a superstition that became a tradition that we need to cook pansit or pasta during birthday celebrations so that we can have a long life ahead.
SassaGorl and I visited my bestfriend a few weeks ago and she cooked pansit for us. It was a pansit bihon but I noticed something while she's cooking it. She was actually not staying in the kitchen for too long and then after she cooked, I noticed what she did and asked her PANSIT HACK.
Well probably some of you may already be doing this method but I will still share it for the sake of of me being overwhelmed when I knew about it hahahah! Plus it's my first time to cook pansit.
By the way, I don't usually cook but I try. Just a heads up, this is a very easy way of cooking pansit.
Let's get it on!
**Ingredients:**
Pansit bihon
Pork/chicken cut into thin slices or chicken liver (optional)
Onion , Carrots, string beans , Cabbage
Patis or soy sauce
Chicken/pork/beef cubes - choose on what you prefer
**Cooking:**
prepare two pots so we can cook the bihon and the sahog separately at the same time.
in one big pot, boil water and put in patis or soy sauce, beef/pork/chicken cubes.
Once the cubes are dissolved put in the bihon to boil in low fire until there's a little to no more water.
in a separate pan, saute onion and garlic
add pork/chicken or chicken liver, let it simmer until cooked.
add water and chicken/pork/beef cubes, patis/soy sauce
veggies and simmer until cooked.
Yes, I cooked it separately because mixing the bihon with the veggies are tiring if you do it in just one pot/pan.
We can just take a bit of the bihon and put the veggies on top once you put it on the plate. Less hassle and less effort in mixing the ingredients!
Sorry I am still overwhelmed when I found out about this hahaha! I took the chance to try it on my father's birthday.
Oh by the way, I used patis instead of soy sauce because I don't want the bihon to be too brown or dark because of the color.
The bihon may look like too pale but it's tasty enough or you can eat it alone.
One advantage of cooking this way was you can also use the veggies as an ulam HAHAHAH!
If you have any tips when it comes to cooking pansit, feel free to comment it below. I'd love to try it too.
If you have any suggestion of recipes, don't hesitate to comment it too. I'd love to learn and as we all know, **sharing is caring!**
Help me be a better cook so I can cook for my husband and SassaGorl too. I don't like pacham foods anymore hahahaha!
heartsu!!

What Movies Do I Enjoy Watching Over and Over?
`07.18.22 am`
Movies are ideas of the past, present and future. For all we know, what happens in the movie are real or yet to be real or it could be a story of a person that we know or don't know.
I have watched lots of movies, most of the movies I watch when I was still in college were downloaded online. I usually download movies from torrent. Thanks to the internet, i got to watch non mainstream movies too.
As internet and websites evolved, we now have different streaming platforms. Some platforms are paid on a monthly subscription like Netflix, HboGo, etc. but we do have other platforms that we can stream for free like LokLok, BiliBili, etc.
Now I am here to share a few movies that I love to watch over and over again.
Harry Potter
I wasn't a novel fan because I don't like to read. I have short attention span that would made me sleep when reading story books. I'd rather watch and listen.
Harry Potter was one of the best Christmas movies for me other than Home Alone. Just so you know, I am not a big fan but I can't deny that I could watch this movie over and over again. I would never get bored with this movie.
What I love about this movie is the chemistry of the characters and how each of them portrays a little bit like them.
Step Up
Yes, yes! I love this movie and I watched the movies last month. I dance hihihihi! I actually thought of the movie Honey but it was a little too rated for young age.
I also loved that Alison Stoner got to grow old in this movie. My favorite was the first and second movie. The following movies didn't stick to me at I find the main characters just too *'papapogi'* na lang. Unlike the first few characters in the 1st and 2nd movies. I love Moose too!
Oh well in short, I can watch the first and 2nd movie over and over and never get tired of it maybe because I miss dancing too.
**Marvel Movies**
source https://www.thewrap.com/marvel-movies-in-order-how-to-watch/
I know that it's too many to mention but I can binge watch these movies over and over. Again, I am not a Marvel Comic fan but I love these types of movies. I even watched The Defenders on Netflix, even their individual series, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Punisher, Daredevil, Luke Cage on the otherhand I didn't get to watch. I never did grow the mood to watch it until Netflix pulled it out because I believe it will be transferred to Disney+.
I just watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness last week in LokLok app.
Oh wait, I forgot to include the X-men movies too.
Disney Animated movies
Yes, yes yes Disney Pixar movies! Let's include Turning Red, Big Hero 6, Toy story, Tangled, and many more!
Honestly, I like the recent movies wherein a princess doesn't need a prince just to be happy. We have family and friends that can make us happy and love doesn't only come from a man.
I love the movies that also has music that we can all sing along which makes it appealing to the adults and kids. I've been playing the songs every morning too when SassaGorl takes her breakfast.
WHITE CHICKS
This is my all time favorite. HAHAHAHAH! I will never get tired of watching this ever. My sisters and I also have a inside joke based on this movie.
I've watched this movie several times that I almost know the lines. This movie just gives me a positive vibe.
I know that there were issues on this movie because it seems a bit racist but I don't find anything offending to it at all, at least for me.
I also love that I got to watch Terry Crews here and the reason I watched Brooklyn 99 was because of him too.
*OH NOOOO! We've been cloned!*
That's my favorite line in this movie and we would use this expression when we say *Oh no!...* One more thing that I love was the yo Momma jokes and the dance battle.
This makes me want to watch it again but I need to sleep now as I will need to go somewehere again today.
Whew, I got through Day 14 of the 30-day writing challenge.
Two more weeks for this challenge and I will be done.
Now I have a lot of catching up. I hope that I can interact more this time.

What a Relief!
`07.17.22`
Online shopping report! It's a bit late to post about the items that I purchased on Shopee last month but I am happy to share this especially to people who are experiencing back pains.
I am actually excited to share this because I love the product and I need to use it so I can give an honest review.
What did I purchase last month on Shopee?
I only have 3 orders but I will only include 2 items here because the other one was just wet wipes from Kleenfant HAHAHAH.
Here you go!
Last May, SassaGorl had rashes on her PP. I thought it was just a common rash but it was a bit bigger than usual. I asked her pedia about it and said it was caused by fungi and then prescribed an anti-fungal cream.
I wondered where, how and why did she get it. By the way, we are still using cloth diapers (CDs) so that's the only reason that I can think about.
The CDs weren't clean enough that may cause a fungi build up
We need thicker inserts that can hold more pee because she's already a toddler
I may be cleaning her CDs the wrong way
Those are things that I've been thinking about why she got rashes. My sister advised me to strip (disenfect) again the CDs or better yet change my laundry habit or soap.
I purchased the **RLR Laundry detergent** so I can use it to strip SassaGorl's CDs. While she still has rashes, we decided to use disposable diapers. It was actually heartbreaking to use disposable diapers and the thought that I may need to stop using CDs.
I changed the detergent that I am using first and fortunately the rash didn't occur anymore. Now we can continue using her CDs again.
YEEEEEES!!!!
I bought this Lumbar support belt for my back. I bought a body shaper after I gave birth but it doesn't seem to help, well it's a body shaper and not designed for back pains anyway. I was just hoping that it could help a bit but it didn't.
I've been using this lumbar support for more than a week now. I am glad that I bought it. I am now getting lesser back pains. I even wear it outside and when I go to Bulacan via Angkas or Joyride. I know, I know it is a long ride from Marikina to Bulacan but that's the fastest public transpo than take.
By the way I this is best for people who are experiencing mid to lower back pain. It also prevents me from slouching because it has 3 pieces metal plate that helps your back. It also has a self heating feature which I find okay because the heat is just bearable and I think it relaxes my back/spine more.
I AM LOVING IT! I sometimes even wear it in the afternoon when I take my afternoon nap. Such a relief! I can now endure longer carry moments with SassaGorl while putting her to sleep.
*Reminder: You still need to consult a physician.*
Whew! This was actually the first time that I loved what I purchased on Shopee. My back pains are killing me lately. Having mild scoliosis plus the anesthesia when I had a C-section made it worse that's why I value this item more than anything. This saves me from my irritability when I get back pains.
I still have a few items purchased on Shopee this month. Definitely, I'll share it soon!
Happy shopee-ing!

How do I Keep up?
`07.17.22`
I want to welcome me back to @Read.Cash after a week of MIA. Now I found a time to write for a bit so I can get back on track.
`Thanks for staying with me my lovely sponsors!`
I've been busy lately and I am literally, physically tired for the past few days. As much as I want to be consistent on my daily posts so I can earn a bit more than what I earned last month. Looks like it's not gonna happen but I'm still hoping that I can do and post more.
What am I up to lately?
**Toddler growth spurt?**
Just as I thought that I am going to be relieved on my back pains when **Sassa Gorl** (former Lil B, because she not so lil anymore ahhaha!) turned 1. Boy I got it all wrong again. I don't know what happened but aside from sleeping on top of me while dede-ing, she likes to be carried while putting her to sleep. Suddenly the K-dramas are not working anymore.Could this be a result of me going somewhere else for days? Anyway I'll share more soon.
**Managing out little house renovation**
I've been going back and forth from Marikina to Bulacan to check and manage our little house renovation. We are very happy that we are doing this but one thing that I hate is back pains. It's hard to manage travelling while you have a toddler to take care of.
**Family time at TongYang Plus**
Our father celebrated his birthday this month and had family lunch at TongYang, we also let the kids play for a bit at Timezone Play.
**I haven't finished my 30-day writing challenge**
I am still on my 14th day if I'm not mistaken. I knew it that it would take me 2 months to finish that challenge hahahaha!
**Planning to join Hive soon**
I've been planning to create a Hive account soon. It's just so unfortunate that I don't have enough energy and time to research about it. Thanks to @BCH_LOVER , I got to join their Discord community which is a big help so I can ask for assistance to the HivePh Community.
Whew! This is just an update blog before I start again. I was initially planing to take at least a couple of days off on the platform to regain my energy.
I can't afford to be burned out because I have Sassa gorl to think about. I'll share more about what happened for the past few days that I was MIA. Sometimes I wonder, ***how do I really keep up?*** Gusto na maging hotdog. char!

I am going to be inactive for today. I felt guilty when Lil b woke up at 3am today and cried. It was the first time she woke up in the middle of her night sleep since she was born. It was unusual. She cried non stop for 10mins or more like something is bothering her, maybe a nightmare? I didn't know what to do, she wont even take my boobies to comfort her.
You can check out my previous articles instead ,
https://read.cash/@Micontingsabit/im-so-excited-and-i-just-cant-hide-it-1dc7bcf9
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.
`07.10.22`
I don't know where to start. You may think that I don't have anything to be excited for but it's the other way around. I am excited for a few things that's gonna happen soon. I just feel like I don't have the energy to blast my excitement because I am exhausted. Probably I'd still feel this way for the next few days or weeks. Do I need coffee again? Sheesh.
Well let's get to it and continue posting for our 30-day writing challenge. Now I am on **Day 13** topic. Let's recall what should we write about.
What are you excited about?
There's actually a few things that I am excited to do soon.
**Father's belated birthday eat out.**
We celebrated our father's birthday just a couple of days ago. We already did a small celebration at home. I cooked pansit and we bought cake pizza and drinks
We weren't complete though, our eldest sister wasn't able to come or drop by because she has shift at work. Instead we are planning to eat out next week so the whole fam will be there. They wanted to try and eat at TongYang. This could also be our last special even together with my fam for this year. Even if that's going to be the case, I am still excited to try and go to an eat all you can restaurant. I haven't been to one for years because I felt like it's too pricy for my appetite back then. Let me see if my appetite will improve hahaha!
**My husband going home**
Well, this is one of the things that I am excited every month. He's actually in Cebu right now visiting his parents and his friend (whose father died because of an accident). Another reason that he can't go home this week because of the airfare.
Even though I am annoyed with him as of the moment, I still miss him and I miss to annoy him more in person.
**Lil B's 14th month**
Whew! yes, she's turning 14 months this month. I can still remember that she was around 4 to 5 months when I started here in read.cash. I can still remember that I used to draft articles when she's asleep for hours. Now, I can only finish an article during night time. The time that she has a longer sleep.
Now I realized that the downside of celebrating her monthly milestone is you'll definitely feel that the time flies so fast. Next thing I'll know, she's talking.
**Getting my driver's license**
My husband has been reminding me to get my driver's license but I am still a bit busy lately. The reason? Continue reading.
**Little renovation**
We found a cheap pasalo house in bulacan and we needed to do a little renovation for the house to be secured. I've been going back and forth so check the house and of course pay the contractor.
This is the reason I feel so exhausted lately. I am really tired. I don't know if my parents are still okay to take care of lil B for a little bit. I don't know if I'll spend more time going somewhere to buy other accessories needed before the house gets done. It's hard to do this by myself and I wish my husband is here.
On the brighter side, we will have our own home soon. 🫰🫰🫰
**Leaving and cleaving**
As soon as our house is done, we'll move out from my parent's house. We actually have financial issues and they also needed to move out. I am sad that our family will part ways but I am more excited and happy to have my own family be finally together. No more LDRs this time.
I think I need to sleep now. I am really just exhausted and breastfeeding makes me more exhausted. I never imagined that breastfeeding is so draining but all worth it for my baby of course. I just wish I have more energy to come up with a decent article for today.
Looks like I'll just end it right here.
Fish!!!✌️✌️🫰🫰

The Square Hole!
`07.09.22`
Hey it's Saburday! Yes, Sabado and Saturday becoz we gonna go taglish today!
Gusto ko lang ishare na nagkape ako kasi akala ko wala masyadong kape yung mocha frappe na inorder namin kanina. Isang medium or small size na coffee drink eh tumatagal na sakin ng isang araw para maubos. Bakit kasi yun inorder ko, di naman talaga ako nagkakape, mamaya kakabog kabog na naman dibdib ko.
Gusto ko nang tuloooooooooog!
Pero before that, syempre hapit muna me ng article. Singit ko lang real kwek!
By the way, the article was shared by @Murakamii.7 about this 'I found a body in a hotel room'. Oh gulat ka no! Shet feeling k nahhyper na ko dahil sa kape, perfect to para maging hype ang imagination natin for today's bidjooooow. https://read.cash/@Murakamii.7/if-i-found-a-dead-body-in-a-hotel-room-2f3c6dce
Here are the kweshens:
*clears throath shet wrong spelling, throat, ayan ayan*
Thank you for the wonderful questions.
If I found a dead body in a hotel room..
I would scream at the top of my lungs, I'm giving it baaaaack. So I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray. To be only yours I pray.
Hoy kumanta ka ba? Char! 🤣🤣🤣
Pero seryoso, titili sisigaw tatakbo ako. Acting performance syempre, mahirap na maging suspect. Tska tumawag tayo agad ng pansin ng ibang tao, manager ng hotel or kung sino man doon.
Have no nose but good smelling fingers or blind but have a really nice smile...
I would choose be blind but have a nice smile. Imagine when you wash the dishes, clean the house or wash your bumbum, would you like to immediately smell what you just touched? Exactly!
Ay wait, tama ba pagkakaintindi ko no nose pero nakakaamoy ang fingers? Comment down below 🤣🤣🤣
Is it possible for anything to be impossible?
Of course!
Have you ever attempted to swallow toothpaste?
Wala kang ebidensya
If you punch yourself in the face and it hurts, are you weak or strong?
deym I'm strong kahit masakit sya o hindi, I know I am strong but I will look stupid though.
If you had the chance to invent a country, what would you name it?
I will name it Micontingsabit! Kahit maliit ka na country, you gonna be mah world.
What do you actually think about while you are on the toilet?
What and who?? si husband ko HAHAHAHAHA RATED SPG
Why do you think manholes are round?
Dapat nga square eh kasi everything fits in a square hole
https://youtu.be/Nz8ssH7LiB0
When you know the battery is dead, why do you press harder on the remote control?
Because me mad!
How would you know if someone has manipulated your memory?
If I don't feel like being myself, duh.
Is it weird to enjoy your own fart?
Depends on how it smells HAHAHAHA, kasi minsan aamuyin pa natin kung may amoy nga o wala.
Which of the teachers you would prefer to have if you were a Hogwarts student?
Snape. Bet ko lang tska wala naman tinanong kung why eh. HAHAHAHAH
Honestly, I don't know if I sound hyper or drunk in this article. Gusto lang ng fresh air kasi I'm so pagod and antok but I need money!
I hope nagising ko ang mga katawang lupa nyo hihi. Kasi nagising ang katawang lupa ko kung tumaas na ulit ang value ni boss BCH. Let's wait for a bit more baka eto na ang hinihintay natin!
Fish be with you!

Free BCH Mining App!
`07.08.22`
***Disclaimer: I just want to put some heads up to users who will read this article. I do not know much about crypto in fact, BCH is the first crypto that I've earned in using this platform and noise.cash. I am still exploring the crypto world and other platforms where I can earn crypto.***
Being introduced and on this platform really makes my heart full. We were given a chance to earn or hustle in little ways like sharing stories, information, knowledge, personal experiences, realizations, etc.
Come to think of it, when the pandemic started most people struggled financially. We have to look for ways to earn and for sure, you are happy to know this platform too. At the same time, being a vlogger, streamer and content creator became a trend when a pandemic hit the world again.
The technology that we have today was quite helpful to some people who were able to do things in their computers. Most people my age or younger generations started to aspire to be a vlogger, streamer or even online/live sellers. It takes guts and perseverance to push and be successful.
But how about those people who doesn't have the equipment, skill, or confidence do to such thing? Do we keep on waiting for our destiny and see if luck will get us through? Of course not! We have to look for other ways too and do our own thing. Checking other options was one for me and I am glad that my sister came across a post online, she tried, took risk and yey, it was legit.
Money doesn't grow on tress but we can plant one. I've never thought something like this platform exists. Now I can start planting a tree that can grow money. All I needed to do is spare some time, think about ideas or topics that can be shared or relatable to other people and then earnings will flow.
Sometimes I look for other ways too earn crypto too, the easier way, by **mining**.
My husband wants to build a mining rig but we don't have the equipment and funds to do so. For the meantime, I've been checking a few sites wherein I can earn or mine tokens or any form of cryptos.
I've tried:
**ClipClaps** - which I don't like because it's draining my phone's battery
**Honeygain** - this one takes a bit longer to mine unless you have lots of referrals. For almost a year of having the app on my phone, I have yet to withdraw $20 from the app.
**Pi** - which still doesn't have a value after a couple of years after launching. You can still continue mining and wait for any updates once Pi already holds a value to the cryptomarket. https://minepi.com/cnayve04
**Appics** - I have the same username if you are on Appics too. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to post because I don't usually go anywhere. :( I haven't withdrawn my earnings there yet because I haven't found enough time to do it without any distractions. (mom life!)
**CryptoTab** - one of the Bitcoin mining site/app that I've been using. I was able to withdraw small amount of BTC into my husband's BTC wallet in Coinsph. I guarantee this one is free too. You just need to download the browser in your phone or PC and start mining. You also have the option to boost your mining speed but of course, you'll have to pay for it. Just a heads up when you mine BTC using this browser, you'll need to turn it on every 3 hours in your phone while you can just turn it once in your PC browser.
Now, we've found another one app that we can earn FREE BCH!! I would like to thank our friend @renren16 for sharing this a week ago. You can check here article here https://read.cash/@renren16/i-found-it-a-legit-one-f6afe619
Free Bitcoin Cash App https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=5052455&game=7&pf=2
Yes! You can earn BCH for free using this app. All you need to do is install this app which you can get from Google Playstore.
By the way, I downloaded the app on June 29 and waited for a few days to see if it's legit.
Here's how it works:
Download the app, here's the link on Google Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=crypto.aliens.bch
Set up your account/BCH wallet address and email address
Then Spin. You have 2 chances to spin every hour. Then choose the bigger BCH Satoshi that you want to claim
If your notifications are one, you will be notified every hour once your 2 spins are available again.
Did you notice that got 7525 BCH Satoshis here? Once the spin stopped on the BCH logo, you have the chance to go one stage up for a bigger reward.
I was able to get this big on my first spin, I hope I can get another big one soon again.
Anyway after a week of trying it, I was surprised that I was legit. Here's the proof that a certain amount was transferred to my Coinsph wallet.
It wasn't big so to say, but the transfer was successful after a few hours. I was just trying if it was legit and it is indeed legit!
Now, let's weigh the pros and cons...
**Pros**
No deposit needed, totally free
If you want to spin more, you can do that for free too.
You can earn thru referrals too, here's mine if you want to use it https://bitcoinaliens.com/?ref=5052455&game=7&pf=2
**Cons**
Do not expect that you will get high satoshi rewards
If you want to spin more, there are ads that will pop up for you to continue spinning or getting higher rewards.
Will probably take some time like Clipclaps or honeygain for you to earn more, or you can earn more through referrals.
Honestly, I am happy that I read renren16's article and tried it out. For the meantime, I am still trying it out for a few days more to see if I'll get more for my 2nd week and let's just see how it goes.
If anyone here has tried this app, please do share your experience bad or good will be much appreciated. Sharing is caring!

We Never Go Out of Style
`07.07.22`
Haller with a gloomy weather! I'm supposed to go somewhere but the whether isn't great. Now, I am just gonna stay at home and write a quick article while the baby is asleep.
I love the coldness when it rains but my back aches and I get sleepy out of nowhere.
Enough with the blah blah. Thursday is the perfect day to do a throwback post. I just want to share how I dress up or what's my style when it comes to clothes. I've always believed that people judge my sexuality because of what I wear or how I dress up.
Now let's do a #ThrowbackThursday!
Some of you may know already that I am boyish. Boyish in the sense of style, actions and how I speak. I used to tell my friends that I didn't get a chance to slap any of my exes but I punch them (I don't punch them for no reason, I just do it if they cheat on me or if they are acting over something like it's me to blame). Anyway, there were times that when a strangers comes up to us and ask for something or directions they assume that I am the gay one. Well, I take it as a compliment and we'll laugh about it.
Are you getting curious? Wait, let me describe my style first.
What's my style?
Honestly, my style depends on my mood.
**happy**
Anything that has vibrant colors or my favorite color, yellow.
**sad/frustrated/angry**
Dull or dark shade colors like black, grey, navy blue, maroon, then eye liner hahahaha..
**girly/flirty**
Dress, skirt, tank tops, shorts, skinny jeans.
95% of the time, I wear tank tops and jeans/shorts. I don't like wearing anything loose because I feel like I'm too thin to wear such, I may look like a hanger. I am also a sweaty person so I don't like to feel my sweat dripping on my skin, I prefer clothes that can absorb my sweat right away. I also prefer clothes where I can feel the air pass by my skin, wearing tshirts makes me feel I am suffocating. Plus I don't have to worry about my cleavage being exposed because I don't have one Hahahahaha!
***#babaengdalawaanglikod***
Being boyish gives me the liberty to at leasy save some time getting ready what to wear and made my life to be a low maintenance person. Just as long as I look Ok in my preference is already enough for me. That's why some people are confused with my personality too. Well, for them to know what's the truth they need to ask me personally or just simply hang out with me.
I remember of my new friends say na natatawa sila sakin kasi wala akong arte. My only response to that is '*sayang sa oras yun mas gusto ko na lang matulog tska bakit ako aarte'.*
Why bring back how I look like before?
I guess I used to have clothes here that I've been wearing for years because I don't gain too much weight. After I gave birth, my weight drastically changed from 45kg to 48kg to 61kgs. Now I only have a few clothes left and will probably need to buy new set of pants that will fit me. I only get to wear loose shorts, dresses and shirts which are my sister's hand-me-down clothes.
If there's one thing that I am happy when I gained weight, it's the cleavage baby! HAHAHAHA now I understand and feel now other women feels like. I love how it looks on me but I don't like the inconvenience that came along with it or maybe I wasn't just used to it all my life.
Anyway, are you ready to see how I dress up when I was a little too skinny? I've grabbed some of my photos on my Facebook account for me to share. Here yah go!
This is how girly I can be specially when I was at work or depending on the events.
The lower left picture was taken when we went to Paramore's concert and the lower right picture was taken in East Avenue Medical Center, where I had my Ojt.
This is my casual wear. I prefer wearing maong shorts too.
If you notice, I don't wear sandals, slippers or doll shoes unless I needed to, because of my sweaty feet. I usually wear closed shoes, sneakers, boots or anything that has a good grip.
Skinny jeans when I feel a bit girly too.
The upper right picture was our costume when we performed a dance years ago. It was Kpop themed. The lower right picture was inspired by Misty in Pokemon. I went to my bestfriend's house to capture pokemons when the Pokemon Go went out!
NOW!
I Get to wear padede shirts, sando and dresses ONLY. Easy access to boobies for Lil B is the priority.
Have a lovely gloomy weather people!

Things that I am Grateful For - Day 12
`07.06.22`
The world is so messed up that sometimes you wanted to ask the world about things. Things that happened, may happen and will happen. No matter what the world brings, there are still things that we should be thankful for.
https://youtu.be/OOgpT5rEKIU
Let me just share this song, Thank you by Alanis Morissette. I hope you enjoy listening to this song while reading my blog.
I am almost on my 2nd week on this writing challenge. Honestly, I have to think again about this topic. By the way, I am not a religious person and I refer the 'you-know-who' as the WORLD.
Anyway let's check again the topics for this challenge:
But before that, I would like to thank my sponsors who are a part of the blessings in my life as of the moment.
ALRIGHT, alright, ALRIGHT!
So here are the things that I think were blessings in my life:
**Being alive**
I was one of the people or child who became a rebel or always considered myself as the black sheep in the family. I admit that there were times that I even thought of taking my own life because of the things that happened to me plus the issues that I had with my family.
Since I became a mother, I can't thank enough to think and say that I am still alive. The feeling of my senseless life became more meaningful since I had her. My life, our life became hers.
**My husband and Lil B**
I've always thought that I would marry a man that is somehow close to my personality (an active person). The people who I had a romantic relationship with, had almost the same personality as me. Well obviously, it didn't go well. The world must be balanced and when I met my husband, I understood why.
My life needs to be neutral and I am lucky to have him. I am happy that whenever I see, talk or with him I feel that my life is balanced. When I knew that I had what I needed in life, I didn't let it go, I won't let it go. Then we decided to start a family. Now, we have the greatest blessing in our life, our Lil B.
**friends and family**
My family changed over the years and I am thankful to that. From the old traditional Filipino family to a more understanding one. Of course, we still do have our fights from now and then but it is part of being a family.
I am very thankful to have my friends. They are a big part of what and who I am right now. They are literally my sisters from another mothers. They are the sisters that I wished I had in my family, but I consider them as my extended family.
**Challenges**
Yes, I do consider the challenges that I faced as blessings. Easy or tough, each one served as a training on how to deal with other stuff in our lives. These challenges made me tough and even tougher as years go by.
Challenges are lessons, and lessons are learned through experience.
**Read.cash**
I am very happy that my sister introduced us about this platform. They might be very busy in other stuff that's why they haven't been active for months now. I am lucky that this gave me the means to earn a little money. This platform also helped me in times that my mind is troubled or whenever anxiety hits me. This platform basically helped me to be sane.
I also get to know more people virtually, read personal stories which I love, and also I got to open my mind in other things that I didn't know, like cryptocurriencies.
I am sure that all users here are very grateful to be here on @Read.Cashthis platform love to have us too. 🫰🫰
What about your blessings? Share it with us not to brag but to serve as an inspiration or motivation too.
Sharing is caring!

June Dump
`07.05.22`
Time flies so fast! It feels like I was just dumping photos when 2022 started and now we're half way 2022. Seesh!
And now I am here to dump some photos from my phone's gallery from last month. I have a lot because the husband went home. I am just going to share the photos that i haven't shared in some of my articles last month. Of course, I'll be sharing a bit behind that photo.
LET'S GO!!!
**06.02**
Since lil b eats solids, I make sure to let her eat with balanced with meat, rice, veggies and fruits. Fruits are getting more pricy and we tried to let her eat tomatoes. Surprisingly she loves it! We even sometimes make the tomatoes as bait for her to eat.
Lil b I hope you don't get to be a picky eater when you grow older.
**06.04**
Congratulations! I have now completed my driving lessons. I will need to apply for a driver's license soon. My husband is already bugging me before my certificate expires again.
By the way, I remember my instructor asked me why did I take a manual driving course? To make my life harder? Hahaha because I can already drive an automatic car.
**06.05**
Our younger sister celebrated her 22nd birthday but our father still calls her baby. Eeeeek!
06.10
The husband was home! We have to do errands so that we can finally leave and cleave. We visited the house we invested in San Jose DelMonte, Bulacan. We brought along my bestfriend so we can have opinion on the house and also she serves as my personal advisor. She's one of the people that I trust with these things because she took interior designing in college.
We looked for a contractor who can do repairs on the house before we can move in, the ceiling also needs to be repaired.
06.11
This was Lil B watching herself char! That's Saoirse watching Saoirse Ronan's movie. I forgot the title though.
06.11
Daddy bought a GPU. We've been looking for a 2nd hand gpu because my very very old gpu gave up already. My husband needs a decent gpu so he can use my rig that he brought along with him in leyte. I gave it to him since we are married now and because I don't have time to use my PC, you know mother duties.
06.12
This was just a picture of my husband (on the right) and our kumpare (on the left). His friends actually decided to visit the house so see their inaanak because they are assigned in different regions in the Philippines. Whenever they got the chance to see each other even just for a bit, they will take it. The other kumpare dropped by just to have lunch and to see lil b to gift his gift. Then after an hour he needs to go to the airport and go back to Cebu.
We went to the nearest coffee shop to chitchat about the house and played Mobile legends hahahaha! They ordered coffee, Marupok and Pinaasa flavored hahahah!
06.16
These are mini sushi. Hahahaha! You know when your toddler sometimes become a picky eater. This is my solution. She likes to eat nori too. So when my sister left a few packs at home I made my Lil b sushi so she can eat will only light mess too. This was just rice and egg or whatever our ulam is for the day.
Take note, I don't let her eat like this everyday. Just for the days that she won't eat the food.
06.26
This Lil B can't get enough of walking, running and playing around the house. Look what she's got. She carries these as if she's the water delivery girl.
Such an active girl eh?
06.28
We took a quick playdate with ninang because she feels like walking around so she can have a little breather. She's been stressed and having anxiety attacks lately. I remember the time when I was still single, we used to drink after work or during our rest days just to de-stress.
06.29
My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. Char!!!
I mentioned in some.of my articles before that I am a sweaty person. Now you can see how sweaty my hands can be. Imagine how sweaty my hands are when I play guitar. I would always find a second that I can wipe it off. HAHAHAHA
There you go!
Those are 10 pictures in my phone's gallery that made my June meaningful.

I Just Wanna Say...
`07.04.22`
Questions will always pop up whenever you plan something or even when something unexpected happened in your life.
I have a question for you. Did you even bother to ask and get the answers that you are looking for or did you just let time heal and let the truth come out?
I saved an article from @charmingcherry08 titled, Things I'd say to my ex. Well, I was thinking of what topic to write about and saw this on my saved articles. It was kind of timely because my former workmates chatted a yesterday about one of my exes. https://read.cash/@charmingcherry08/things-id-say-to-my-ex-49e7cd89
Here's a screenshot hahaha. By the way, Renz was the last ex boyfriend before I got married.
Here's how his workmates responded secretly
And here's how our barkada reacted, because she mentioned me out of her gigil.
Don't get me wrong, you might think that I sound bitter but I'm not. More like whenever we talk about our previous, current relationships or even our own personalities, we make sure to roast each other. You get the idea?
But yes, I can't deny that there were questions that I ask myself when we broke up. That goes to my other past relationships too. Now that I am married, all my questions were answered without even asking them. Thank goodness! Now let me also share my POV and **Things that I would say to My ex/s.**
To my first boyfriend and first ex.
*I am happy that you've met your match and I am relieved that it was her (one of my bestfriends in college). Honestly, we were shocked, happy and excited when we had speculations about your relationship. I am glad that both of you are happy with each other and take care of Luna, your Lo.*
To the grossest ex...
*I am glad that you are married now too and I hope you change your gross lifestyle. I wish I never let you in my life. You even flirted with my best friend and ruined our friendship. Ughkkk*
To the longest relationship I had...
*I wish I broke up with you as soon as I found out that you cheated on me. The almost 5 years of my life was wasted with you. You played me, you manipulated me, and I didn't even know what I saw in you. All you did was lie down and enjoy the ride you lazy bastard.*
To the ex that was close to my family for 4+ years..
*I am sorry, I know that I became a bitch when I broke up with you. I felt tired waiting for you to grow. I felt tired because you seemed laxed when you resigned from your work and for almost 2 years, I spend most of my money with you which I should be spending on my family. I am grateful that you became close to my family and friends, that's what I appreciated the most. I just hoped that you learned how to trust people and not be too possessive. I am happy that you reach out sometimes and we remained to be friends/civil and respect each other's lives now. I deeply hope that you may find the woman who will make you happy more than I did and will not hurt you the way I did.*
To the last ex..
*I just wish that you change your ways, you self entitled man. I wish that before you feel proud about your not so good looks, money and things that you think you're good at, make sure that you can decide for your own personal life, make sure you can fight for the people you will love. Don't tell people that you're mature enough to be a man, but not capable of introducing your girlfriend because of how they act or look. Take a look into the mirror and reflect. Women are not trophies and so are you. I wish that you may find the person, man or woman, who would give you the courage to stand up for yourself.*
To the ex and now my husband...
*We miss you...*
For sure we've had our regrets in life or people we've been with, but do not forget that things happen for a reason and mistakes serves as lessons.
Fishing out.

How Did We Choose You?
07.04.22
How's everybody's Sunday night box office? I hope that you enjoyed your day before you go back to your weekend routine.
Me and Lil B? We're fine and we got to go out for a bit. I actually wanted to go somewhere so she can see something else other than us and our home. Basically I just want her to be tired so she can sleep early again. These past few days, I was getting a little less sleep as she slept at 12md for almost a week now. Yes I know that her body clock is changing but I need to do something so I can maintain to do articles or my mini side hustling. It worked though, just right after I changed her nighties she slept. Whew!
Oh by the way, we went to my best friend's house last night. We just had dinner and let Lil B play with her cats. She's a dog and cat person. Lil B loves animals and she wants to carry the cats. Here's a picture so you can see how she enjoyed it.
Not to worry, this cat loves babies too. My best friend T, tells me what cat she can play with. I only tell Lil B to touch it. She knows and she listens not to pinch them but only to do gentle touch.
Oh T is also one of Lil B's God parents. So much for intro eh? HAHAHAHAH, sorry about that.
Do you still remember issues that we see on Facebook about parents who seek financial help to their *kumare's or kumpare's (your child's god parents)*? I cringe everytime I see one to be honest. Some people just lost the sense of God parenthood (is that the term? hahaha anyway). ***Share some stories if you experienced some too, my comment section is open for chika!!!***
Anyway, let's discuss a few regarding this stuff.
What is the role of god parents?
God parents serves as the 2nd parents of a child. They help the parents in the upbringing of the child, especially in religious way.
For us, it doesn't have to be all religious but as long as they help make our Lil B as a decent human being, that's already enough for us.
I am not a religious person but I am a Catholic. I am baptized but I don't know my god parents personally. It turned out I have one pair of god parents and I only got to see them once in my lifetime.
How do we choose our child's god parents?
This is just plain my opinion and how we chose Lil B's God parents.
People we can trust our child to if we are not around.
Someone who can provide positive influence.
People who will be around
Someone who will do the role as god parents by heart, not just on paper.
People who will love our child and agrees to be a god parent.
In Filipino culture, we got used to getting god parents who are close friends or relatives. Some parents may choose people who are financially capable to give gifts to the child, which is one toxic trait. Do you agree?
It is also a tradition not to accept an offer to be a god parent. We have a saying that being a god parent is a privilege and it's a blessing so we shouldn't say no. In our case, we choose the people closest to us who fits the criteria above. We have asked a few people if they want to be Lil B's god parents. The people I asked on my side have the liberty to not accept the offer. I don't want to dictate their role to our child as a god parent and they would only agree because I told them to. Therefore, it was a forced god parenthood and they will only become a god parent by paper. I specifically asked them if they want to and no hard feelings if they don't like to be one. Honestly, I would understand and I made sure to ask them twice or thrice before I list them as one.
**Monetary assistance from god parents are appreciated but not required.**
I did a little research and basically god parents are the principal sponsors of the child's baptism from clothes, food, giveaways, etc. However, financial responsibilities are not mandatory and will depend on the discretion of the parent and soon to be god parent.
For me, I can accept monetary assistance as long as they would offer. I won't assign it to each of them. That's already a bonus that we can get from them for being a god parent but the most important thing that we need is they can be a good role model to our Lil B.
Lil B's God parents
Lil B has a total of 13 god parents and we picked just a few people that we know who can do the role of god parents.
Since I am one of my niece's god parent, we chose both of sisters husband. We know that even if they are not one, they would still be a good model to her.
I picked some of my closest friends from my previous company. Yes, some. One of them that wasn't a god parent went to lil b's baptism and I told her that she'll be one to our soon to be 2nd born and she agreed. You know the trouble of choosing god parents, the first born almost gets it all. We don't want our soon to be children to have god parents that we don't trust enough to be one. We also picked my husband's closest friends who are based in different places too. That way whenever lil b goes, there's someone that can guide her aside from us, her parents.
Choosing the people who will be a part of your child's life is crucial. This is just the time that we can get to choose people who will be part of her life. Soon enough, Lil b will choose the people that she wants to be with and be part of her life.
Choose wisely and responsibly.
Well that's all for now folks!
Fishing out.

Life Full of 'What Ifs' - Day 11
07.03.22
I know that this topic would be very lovely to read in English. Pero syempre I hindi ko hahayaan na lumipas ang isang linggo na di ako nakakapagpost ng Tagalog.
Iilang rason lang naman kung bakit feeling ko kelangan ko magpost ng Tagalog.
Mas madaling magisip, hindi mo na kelangan magproofread (na hindi ko naman talaga ginagawa)
Mas mabilis makatapos ng article, time savvy ba ganun.
Mas madaling maishare yung feelings or ideas mo sa isang topic.
Wala naman ako masyadong foreign subscribers, at konti lang naman sila for now.
Nakakarefresh ng utak, at sa mga araw na pagod, antok at hirap na ang utak ko, mas madaling magtagalog.
LELS!
Di ko nakakalimutang pasalamatan ang mga sponsors ko. Love ko kayo!
Anyway, I am already on my 11th day (ay putek english) ng 30-day writing challenge. Di ko talaga sya kayang araw-arawin, nakakadrain hahaha.
Pero let me share a little bit of my 'WHAT IFs' in life or in my current situation. I know na some of you may relate or may experience yung better version. As promised on my goal for this month, I'll try to write about something na would bring happiness pa din sa ibang tao. *Mejo mahirap kung What ifs ang topic noh?* Susubukan pa din natin. Ito ang challenge satin ngayon.
Ay eto na lang, lagyan natin ng konting eklat. What Ifs sa past and What if na pwedeng mangyari in the future? Bet? G! Tara
What IFs na nakalipas na....
*What if.....*
**Naging lalaki ako?**
- if naging lalaki ako, baka isa akong playboy. Char! De joke lang. Baka lang mas close kami ng tatay ko and baka ako ang favorite charot! Pero seryoso kung naging lalaki ako, baka mas maagaan buhay ko kasi hindi ako makakaranas ng dymenorrhea buwan buwan at hindi ako mahhirapan umihi kung san saan.
**Hindi ako nakapagtapos ng pagaaral?**
- Realtalk? Baka wala na ako sa mundo or baka napariwara na ako.
**Hindi ako bumalik sa amin nung naglayas ako?**
**-** yes mga friends, nakapaglayas ako noon pero syempre dahil sa mga kapatid ko bumalik ako. Kung di ako bumalik, baka mas tahimik ang buhay ko ngayon or baka mas naghihirap ako.
**Jumowa ako ng babae?**
- Nabanggit ko minsan sa ibang posts ko din na lagi akong pinagkakamalang tibo o bi, siguro sa likot ko, pormahan ko, at wala akong arte gaano sa katawan. Ang mga bespren ko since highschool eh LGBTQ+++++, ako lang ang straight sa amin at sumagi talaga sa isip ko isang beses na itry ko jumowa ng kauri ko. Di ko kaya, loyal talaga ako sa hakdog. Pero kung kinaya ko bka siguro maging bi lang ako para seasonal char!
**Hindi muna ako nag-asawa?**
- Isasagot ko sana, 'baka pinasok ko na ang online business at may pera nako ngayon', pero wala pala akong puhunan HHAHAHAHA. If hindi muna ako nagasawa, baka lunod ako sa trabaho, sa bisyo, sa alak, sa pagdadalamhati sa gulo ng feelings ko o baka nagpapakagood time ako sa kama ng ibang tao. Char!
What if in the future....
**Manalo ako sa lotto?**
Edi sagot na lahat ng problema namin financially. Pproblemahin na lang namin pano palalaguin yung napanalunan ko dibaaa.
**Magkaroon kami ng business?**
Magiging busy ako nun at nakakatakot ako maapektuhan ang oras ko sa anak namin. Pero kung malaki naman na si bb namin, mas makakatulong pa dn syempre ang magkabusiness para sa future nya. Ang tanong lang is kung anong magandang gawing business na kaya kong imanage. Hm....
**Magkaroon kami ng kambal na anak?**
Di ko alam bakit ko pinangarap talaga to. Sabi ko noon, gusto ko kambal para isahang hirap nalang pag nanganak, pero mas mahirap kapag kambal ang lumabaaaaaaas. Isa pa nga lang mahirap na, pano kung dalawa pa. Baka mabaliw na talaga ako nun.
**Maging kapitbahay ko mga kaibigan ko?**
Isa to sa mga pangarap naming magkakaibigan. Kahit alam naming impossible, gusto namin na naghihingian kami ng ulam kung magiging magkapitbahay man kami.
**Mawala na lang ako bigla?**
Wag naman sana. Parang noon mas gusto ko mawala bigla para walang hirap, pero nung naging nanay nako syempre bawat araw, oras, minuto, segundo gusto mo lubusin makita at makasama mo lang pamilya mo.
Ikaw, anong mga kwentong What Ifs mo?

I am excited to share one of my best shopee finds soon!!! I'll try it on for a few days so I can give a super honest review.
Mothers will love this!!!
Home is With You
`07.02.22`
Technology is always evolving. Over the years I can say that I'm one of the people who got lucky to experience the kind of technology that we have right now, especially when it comes to communicating to other people.
We might wonder how people do flirt during the past generations. Like in 20s, 30s or 40s, how do they date or even flirt to find their match.
From face to face dates or courtships, to telegrams (not the app), to snail mails, to post cards, to phone calls, to beepers, to text messages, to emails, to online messaging apps.
Thanks to internet
We can now see or talk to our love ones from any part of the globe.
I've always known or thought that LDR wasn't for me. Well honestly, I still do but thanks to the technology the worries that I had on an LDR relationship lessened. The only important thing that mattered to me when we started our LDR situation is to give time for me/us. To my surprise, even if I didn't ask he would call. He would message or call me anytime of the day as long as he's done with office work. Sometimes he would also call even if he's busy. I even ask him to end the call so he can finish it sooner or if his work will be confidential. It was the first time that I didn't need to ask for time for someone so busy as him. I would understand if he can't call me most of the time, he just need to tell me that he's busy and he'll call me after work but no, what he did was he calls me even if he's working.
Then lately, his phone's battery malfunctioned. I knew that he might not call or message as often as before but I don't know what got into my head. I was pissed. Maybe because I am stressed and I need to talk to him, but I can't. I will need to wait for him. I was already over thinking. I was about to get mad at him without hearing anything from his side. And then I realized, how lucky am I to be in a generation which is the technology has evolved. If we we back in the old days and if I am not able to talk to him even just for a second a day, I will be so frustrated or might even turn out to be a nagger wife. WHEW!
I won't let this month pass by without sharing something when my husband went home just a few weeks ago.
Last night, I was almost about to cry before going to sleep. He sent me this:
*Translation: Nextime hon, take a picture with you and sasha. I watch videos and photos of you before I go to sleep.*
LDR sucks eh?
Anyway, good thing that he was home for a week the last time. We got to enjoy his stay and he got to spend time with our daughter.
Everytime that he comes home and let him look after her, I would tell him to not hold her that much when she sits or stand because she can already do it on her own. It was just that time flies so fast and he can still remember the time when she was just a new born and she can only fit in our two hands/arms. Now he didn't expect that she grow up so fast and he missed some of her milestones.
I miss sleeping with one big arm and a small arm around me.
Morning walks with daddy.
As much as possible, I keep my husband busy when he comes home. Because most of the time, people from his work still contacts him for work related reasons so I try to keep him occupied so he can relax. He can only get to enjoy his family time once a month so better make the most out of it.
Playtime with Daddy
I was just very happy to see and know that Lil B might turn out to be a Daddy's girl. I love seeing them play and sleep beside each other.
Bye again daddy, see you soon 🫰
My heart breaks whenever leaves and go back to work again. We will wait for weeks to see him again.
I know that it's more difficult for him to leave us again. I remember that he doesn't want to pack his things a day before he leaves because it makes him sad.
The last time, lil B was sleeping when he left. Same thing happened last month but he got to carry him and put her back to sleep before he left.
Don't worry, I know lil b is very excited to see and play with you again. We're looking forward to be together soon too.
We love you ❤️❤️

June Round Up
`07.01.11`
First half of 2022, done! I am happy to know that despite the low value of BCH, there are still other users that earned so much. I can't deny that sometimes that I envy those users but hey, what does envy gonna to inspire me. Instead feeling negatively, I am more motivated and inspired so I can be the same.
I realized something. I shared some of the things in my life that impacted me negatively. Perhaps a change of thinking and topics that I will post soon.
Let me start right here.
**Sponsors**
We all know that there was an issue regarding sponsorships and we are all glad that it was already fixed. Since then I gained sponsors and retained some of my firsts sponsors.
I can't thank you enough for the blessings that you've shared with me. With the blessings that I got from you I get to share it to other users as well.
Sponsorships
Well given the less time that I have drafting an article, I have more time to explore @Read.Cash. I know, I know, I've been in the platforms for almost 10 months and all I do is post, comment, upvote and check recommended articles. I didn't get the chance to check on other tabs hahahah! Now that I have, I got to meet new users and sponsor them too!
I am glad that I was able to give to sponsorships to 17 more users last month.
Oh that's 15, I hope @Janaatfam and @Medear notice my sponsorship hihi.
I hope that I can also maintain sponsorships to them this month. If I still fail to earn a little bit more, I may have to drop some sponsorships soon. 😔😔
Subscribers
I am happy that I also gained a few subscribers. Yey!!
All thanks to y'all and keep reading my posts. I promise that I'll do better this month, enough ranting and more sharing of experiences, I hope I can keep you entertained too.
Articles
I am happy to post total of 33 articles for the month of June, which I believe was the most number of articles I posted in a month since i started here.
There was a week that I posted 2 articles per day after Lil B got sick and thanks to the 30-day Writing Challenge. I remember there was a time that I did that too and my mind and heart almost exploded due to the pressure I give to myself. Now, thanks to the writing challenges and prompts there were days that I can post 2 articles in one day or just to compensate the days that I wasn't able to post something.
Yes, I record my articles manually. Don't laugh, I know my penmanship sucks hahahaha! This is also one form of relaxing for me. I can't use the computer because I usually do this when Lil b is as sleep.
Earnings
I was just sad that I decided to stop posting on Noise.cash. I haven't been receiving free tips for quite a few weeks already. However I was able to get little earnings thru other user's upvotes.
I was able to sum up my earnings here on read.cash and I got a total of $64.08 (around 3,500 pesos). Let's take out the upvotes and sponsorships that I've given, here what I got on my wallet:
This screenshot was taken earlier but as I post this, BCH's value dipped more.
I getting a little bit worried because I thought that I have enough earnings to pay for my parent's TV that I purchased as a father's day gift. I still have 5 days to go before I get my first bill in SpayLater.
For the love of July!
I am looking forward for this month of July and I will do better in posting more sensible articles to share.
I still want to achieve getting 1BCH in a month or even hodling my earnings to reach and see 1BCH in my coinsph wallet soon. Hahahaha!
Sometimes I wish I was still a kid so that I won't have to worry on such adult things. Adulting is real.
Let's have fun this month and we are looking forward for the BCH's value to come up soon. We are not losing any hope, we do believe in you BCH hahahaha!
Now let me continue watching The Stranger thing's new episodes!
Fish out!!
Who's Strong? - Day 10
*062922*
What makes a human strong? Does having a strong physique would already make you a strong person? How about being the tough one who doesn't cry? What makes a human strong?
I hope you can help me on my 10th day of 30-day writing challenge. I didn't think that I will have such hard time thinking on what to write about on this challenge. Well that's the challenge!
I will try to make this post not too long because my brain cells can't think anymore charZ!!
Anyway for today's topic that should be........
WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU FEEL STRONGLY
Honestly, I have a lot of strong feelings right now that I can't even pin point what feeling should I prioritize or feel first. I feel like I don't have the right to feel anything. Oh okay that gives me an idea.
I have this drafted titled here. It says, *'when people think that your strong.....'*
Let me bring back the questions on my intro..
***What makes a human strong? Does having a strong physique would already make you a strong person? How about being the tough one who doesn't cry?***
Just a little back story, I have 3 siblings and we are all girls. My father wanted to have a son with the impression that having a son he can have someone to bond with, you know boy/guy bonding something like that. Unfortunately, he didn't have one. It turned out that, I was the one who was close to enough to have an attitude of a boy and have a strength of a boy.
I was the one who used to help my parents carry heavy stuff around the house, life heavy furnitures, help on things that a boy would always do for having such strength and energy. I was marked as the tomboy of the house.
As I grow up, I still did things like that carry tables and chairs, sacks of rice, sacks of cement, paint the house, hammering things, name a chore I can do it for sure. Until my strength converted to silence. What I mean is I don't talk that much at home. I felt like I was only there to do chores. No one would ask me how am I doing at school? Who are my friends? Or if I have any problem at school or other things.
I thought that being the strong one would help them or me. I definitely helped my parents in some way but it didn't help me, emotionally. It helped me divert the things that I should be thinking about, but the diversion turned into something deep. ***As deep as a sea that only a few people can dive into just to see what's beneath.***
Yadah yadah yadaaaah. Long story short, I felt alone and my strength just made me weaker, emotionally and mentally.
I didn't have a problem with that because I can endure it for as long as I can until I gave birth. During my pregnancy, fortunately I had no problem. I can still dance, walk or do things around the house. It wasn't a high risk pregnancy but little did I know that I will need more assistance when I gave birth.
I have post some of my rants here a couple of weeks/days ago and I have one strong feeling lately. **When people around you think you're strong, they won't offer help unless you ask.**
I think that's my biggest frustration as a mother who still lives in my parent's house. I noticed that when I gave birth and as I recover from my C-section. I am getting little to no help from people at home. I mean it's not really a big deal for me because soon enough we'll leave here and we'll be on our own. The thing is, they treat and assist me differently than my sister when she gave birth. Why do I say so? I can see that whenever my sister's family stays here for a week, they offer assistance. They may not notice it enough, but damn I see it every time. The part that I hate is when my mother would always tell Lil B after eating breakfast to sleep, or whenever my mother would look after her she would always attempt to put her to sleep. SIGH...
So much for being strong and I wish that I was weak.
Yes we have to be strong for us to overcome some aspects in life but bear in mind that there's nothing wrong in showing your weaknesses.
People have the right to be strong or weak or both. It will not make you less than a human if you show weakness, instead shows how more human you can be.
