Cebu, she's coming!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**Someone is coming.**
@dziefem told me last day that she is going here in Cebu. And look, it was booked right away. *I was like, sana all may pera agad!* Pero you know, I am very happy. It will be a one week vacation here in the city. *Pero hello, I can't file a one week leave out of work. Lol!* So some days would just be staying at home and just cook something and eat and talk and netflix and chill. But still, I am very much excited!
*It will be on July, but we already planned the places we'll go and let's see by then if it will be realized.*
*Anyway, here are the places we are planning to visit soonest and what we are going to do in one week.*
**Day 1: The Arrival.** She will get here by around 8:00 AM as per scheduled. I decided not to set any plans on that day to have rest and prepare for whatever we need to prepare.
**Day 2: Anjo World, here we go!**
I am planning to bring @dziefem here in Anjo World. I asked her beforehand if she is a fan of extreme rides and she said yes. Since I want some excitement too, I decided to include Anjo World in the list. *Just a quick back story, when I visited Anjo World, I rode all the rides except the Boomerang. So on July, I'll make sure to ride it and shout aloud. Lol!*
**Day 2 (still): Sugbo Mercado, eat everything you see!**
Doing some rides will surely make us tired. With that, before we get home we will go first to Sugbo Mercado for dinner. There's a lot of food you can choose of. From seafoods, street foods, drinks, pastas and everything you wanted to eat, its there. No need to worry what to eat then.
Then get home for rest.
**Day 3: Miraculous Simala Shrine Church.**
*Simala Shrine Church is a religious structure and establishment located in Sibonga Town, Southern Cebu.* https://www.travelingcebu.com/simala-shrine-church.html
*Cebu Province is where Catholicism was first sowed and churches established by European missionaries (Spanish) in the 16th century.* https://www.travelingcebu.com/simala-shrine-church.html
*Certainly, the Christian faith that was brought in this beautiful province spread throughout the country as the missionaries and faithful locals move and live around various places.* https://www.travelingcebu.com/simala-shrine-church.html
*Simala Shrine Church then is just one of those religious places, if not the most popular nowadays, where most believers (Catholics) come for various reasons.* https://www.travelingcebu.com/simala-shrine-church.html
*Pilgrimages or visiting religious places is one of the most important aspects that most Filipino Catholics have. This aspect keeps their faith alive and keeps them going despite all the challenges in life.* https://www.travelingcebu.com/simala-shrine-church.html
I haven't get a chance to visit Simala. So when @dziefem is here, I'll make sure to bring her with me visit the church.
Travel to Simala will surely take a lot of time since it is in the South of Cebu and we are at the city. The travel time will take about 6 to 7 hours in total back and forth.
The long time travel means it will be tiring. That means, that is the only place we will visit on the third day.
**Day 4: Dinner at La Vie in the Sky!**
I never get a chance to visit this La Vie in the Sky for dinner. But I really wanted to experience having a candle light dinner at least once. So I decided to include this one in the list.
La Vie is not only a candle light dinner, but what's best about it, it is on the top of Cebu. Meaning, when you're there, you'll see the whole city from above. Imagine how nice that is.
Since I can only request a four days off out from work, I decided to just stay at home at the 5th and 6th day doing some work. But you know I realized, it is a one time visit of her for me as of now so I wanted to make the best out if it. Since I have work on the 5th and 6th day, I decided instead to do some light strolling in the city. Like, watching in cinema and playing at Timezone.
**Day 5: Let's watch movie and play!**
As of today, Ayala Cinemas are not actually open yet. But hopefully on July they will. I miss going to cinema watching movies with a pop corn and drinks on the left. Maybe, if there's a new released horror movie by then, that will be what we will watch. Exciting!
And for Timezone, they have been open for months already, so after watching movies we will play and spoil our inner child. This will be a lot of fun, for sure!
**Day 6: Rest day from all the strolling and regular day for a regular work.**
You know, I still need to focus on my work despite of this coming busy week. So I decided to just stay at home at day six and I'll let her do the cooking. For I know she is the cook in their house. I wanted her to cook her specialty, Adobo. That what she said to me, though!
**Day 7: Beach with Cebu friends!**
We haven't decided where to go for this beach trip yet. But I wanted my Cebu friends meet her in person as well so I decided to invite them for a beach trip. There's a lot of nice beaches here in Cebu so I am not sure yet where to go.
*To Cebu people here in Read Cash, where do you think is the best beach?*
**Day 8: Aww! She is going home!**
I'll surely miss her by then. But I'll not worry, next time I'll visit her place too.
See you then!
So that's it. That will be a fun week by July. Hopefully, we'll make this plan turn into reality. And if not, for sure there will a much better plan coming in.
See you soonest, @dziefem !!!

How old are you now?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
90's babies are not getting any younger this year. Those born in exactly 1990 will turn 32 years old this year. But you know, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, we need to be proud for we have come this far. Right?
Before, I used to hide my real age thinking that getting older and older is not a good thing. But as time goes by, I learned that we are really not getting any younger. I mean, as long as we are still living, a year will continue to add in our age. And the more we get older, the more we can see the real definition of life. The more we can see how really life works. The more we can improve our perspective in life.
But let's not talk about how serious life is. Sometimes, we need to take life lightly. Like talk about fun things. Talk about memories. Talk about our childhood.
Now, may I ask ***how old are you now?***
As what you can see on the attached photo above, it is a picture I got from Sugbo.Ph official facebook page. On that photo, it is asking ***"Unsa naka katiguwang karon?"*** That in English, ***"How old are you now?"***
You can see there a cassette tape, a phone, a family in front of a computer, and some emojis.
Let's start with the ***cassette tape.***
***The Cassette Tape, or Compact Cassette, was first developed by the Philips company in 1962 in Belgium. Philips released the invention to Europe at the Berlin Radio Show on August 30, 1963; the invention was released in the United States in November of next year. Up until then, listening to music was largely vinyl based and not exactly on-the-go friendly. The cassette tape made it easy and convenient to take your favorite music with you.*** https://legacybox.com/blogs/analog/history-of-the-cassette-tape
Before my mom and dad used to have cassette tapes that they always played on their cassette player. That exactly every Sunday. But when the cassette tape will not work anymore, we will ask for it from them and we'll play it with out friends way back. You know, we are removing the plastic like thread inside the cassette and put it in the ground and see who ever has the longest tape on that cassette. We even use it to tie our balloons too and just do anything we can think that it can be use for. And with just playing with it, we find joy already.
I am not sure if people are still using cassette tapes this days. But in my experience and what I can see, BTS - the SoKor Boyband, still releases cassette tapes and vinyl everytime they released new songs.
And have you seen that famous old phone? That supposed to be a ***folding phone*** with a tie so that we can wear it in our neck. This toy phone became so famous because of its sound, ***"Ay yay yay, I'm a little butterfly."*** Everytime I hear that sound from someone's toy phone, I always go near them to borrow it. And when my mom has enough money, I ask her to buy me one. And it feels so good to have this toy with friends. Like we are acting to be calling each other even though we are just beside each other.
***The fun and the memory it brought though!***
There's still a lot of things here and there that can determine how really old we are. Movies, tv commercial, and all other things. But again, let's not worry about our age. It is just a number. Let's appreciate instead how we have come this far and that we already have a lot of experiences in life.
***To more years to all of us!*** 🥂

Come spend the day with me!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Today's not my rest day yet even tomorrow but I just felt like going out. That is why, last Friday morning I booked an appointment at Brows and Shine to have my nails done, that is the only thing I wanted to do when I go out. So the appointment was confirmed last Friday night.
I chose to have my nails done as it feels great doing something good for myself. A self care once in a while. Remember on my previous article, I shared there that I get a nail extension. But this time, I wanted to try the Marble Nail Gel without putting some nail extension.
The picture above is the nail inspo I want. But they said, they run out of the same color so I need to choose another one.
And that's my nails done. The colors are almost the same actually. And all I can say, I am more than satisfied with the service they have. The work is clean and the staff are having a pleasing personality. I have my pedicure done as well, but I will not share the picture as I do not have that nice set of feet. Lol! I'll rate their service 10 out 10. Its just so perfect!
If you are from Cebu and you are fond of doing your nails, lashes, and waxing, better visit Brows and Shine, they are located at 2nd Level, Ayala Central Bloc, IT park.
Since doing the manicure and pedicure took about two hours, I felt hungry right after that I decided to go to McDo. My go to fastfood restaurant when going out. And as usual, I ordered the McDo Chicken Fillet.
And my tummy is back to being happy. And before I get out of the mall, I decided to go to the CR and took a mandatory mirror selfie.
I just wore that simple dress to make myself comfy going out.
And when I am out of the mall, I took a short video of me walking thinking where to go next since I still have time. *I can't upload the video here, I do not know how. My bad.* I am choosing between going to a milktea, or coffee, or ice cream shop. But ended up going to Dunkin Donut which is not even on the choices.
Then just took another short video of the surroundings to appreciate how peaceful the IT Park every 5:00 in the afternoon. There's actually a huge plaza where you can see a family having picnics, couple having dates, just a stranger strolling alone, dogs, and many more. I am so focused on taking videos that I wasn't able to take a picture.
I am planning to stay there longer not until I remembered I still have my last shift tomorrow at 4:00 AM and I still need to have a complete rest. So I just decided to get straight home. I am planning after last shift tomorrow to visit a church and have a whole body massage. Hopefully, I can make it tomorrow.
Then after I upload this article I'll be off to my own dreamland for a rest! Will read some of your articles tomorrow.
XoXo!

Shawarma? Its a no.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Thanks to this Random Questions we can answer every time we're having a writer's block. I am actually trying to upload two articles a day to patch up the absences I have here. I am aiming to complete the 28 days for this month with 28 articles. As what I can see I am getting there already and hopefully I can make it.
So as I was scrolling here in Read Cash, I came across with @Eylz2021 's article about answering questions from this site. So why not answer so that I have something for you to read today? I only chose five random questions. https://www.joincake.com/blog/funny-get-to-know-you-questions/
**What makes you feel old?** Memories. Old TV Commercials. Old Games. Goin Bulilit Artists. I was able to watch all of them when I was still five or six, and look at me now. I am already 24 this June and these artists are already grown up today as well. The Kim Chui's Rejoice TV Commercial when being posted on Facebook made me feel so old too. But you know, reminiscing those memories and feeling old doesn't saddened me at all. It makes me happy knowing that I have come this far already. And I am still willing to get older to see more of the life's perspective.
**What’s something you think everyone should try at least once?** I am not sure about this as I haven't tried everything yet as well. But I think, it is trying out what you are afraid of. Trying out what you think you can't do. I am afraid of rides; like those Roller Coasters, Viking, and all. But when I faced my fears and tried it out, I made it. You really would never know that you can do things, until you tried it out. Getting out of your comfort zone too. Once you get out, that's when you realize you have a lot of things you can do. By doing that one step once, you'll see a lot more to try of.
**What happened on your worst date ever?** I haven't tried a lot of serious dates. But I have this worst date ever. It was our monthsary. Before that day, we are actually not in good terms yet he still asked me for a date. I agreed thinking it will fix the issue. But you know what happened? It get colder instead. We just ate in a restaurant and no talk happened. It was so awkward that I wasn't able to ask what's wrong. We finished the food and head home. The next thing happened? We broke up three days after that date. Worst right?
**If you could sit next to anyone on a plane, who would you choose?** I would love to sit behind Ben and Cal Stone from Manifest. Have you seen the series? Questions are still all over my mind waiting for answers how this plane landed after five years. Like, where have they been? The series is really nice and I am waiting for the season 4 which is the finale. I wanted to talk with the 828'ers as well on what they feel that they are five years behind the reality. And I wanted to ask them about the callings they kept on getting.
If you haven't watched Manifest, visit Netflix. Its really worth the watch.
**What’s the worst food you’ve ever tried?** *My apologies to those who loves Shawarma* because it is a no for me. May it be from Leylam, Turks, or whatever food stalls that sells it, I will still not eat Shawarma. I do not know why. My friends actually like it. They've been trying to force me eat it as for them it tastes delicious but I really can't take it. The smell is okay for me, it seems pleasing but when I tried to eat it I just can't.

False Positivity.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
***“When we push aside difficult emotions in order to embrace false positivity, we lose our capacity to develop deep skills to help us deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.”*** ***Susan David, Ph.D, Mindful*** https://www.google.com/amp/s/movemequotes.com/tag/false-positivity-quotes/
*"Wag ka ng umiyak. Okay lang yan."*
*"Parang yun lang. Be positive."*
*"Tara alis tayo para mawala yung lungkot."*
*"Wag kang magmukmok diyan, di yan makakatulong."*
Most of the times, these are the usual phrases we hear from our close friends, family, or anyone who we ask for advice if we are going through something. May it be a heartache, failure on exams and jobs, and sometimes just the feeling of emptiness. We tend to ask for advice, for what things we can do to outdo this sad feeling.
Personally, I do not listen to anyone who says such things I mentioned above. I appreciate them for staying by my side and listen to my rants. But the more they tell me to just stay positive and be happy and just do not think about it will actually worsen my situation. I used to embrace the pain until it hurts no more. Then I'll get healed.
Maybe we have a different ways on dwelling with pain, but I really believe that we really need to let out we really feel. Cry if we really need to. And ask for a companion if necessary. The more we act okay even if we are not, the more the pain will pain us.
We can always acknowledge that human as we are, we have feelings which means we can get hurt and its okay. Be hurt. But always make sure to not drown into the pain. Be hurt. But always look for ways to get out of the pain. Be hurt. But always think that it is not painful forever.
And as what Susan David, the more we hide what we truly feel the more we can't learn how to deal with pain. With that said, we can't be able to fight for more painful things and we will be instilled with these false positivities that will hurt us more.
Life has never been perfect. We really can feel pain, disappointment, tears, and all. We will lose someone and something. We will feel that we are being played. Honour such experiences as it will make us stronger. Again life has never been perfect, but its imperfection makes it wonderful. Its imperfection makes it more exciting. And its imperfections makes life worth living.

Its been only 47 days.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Its been only 47 days since 2022 started yet I already have a lot in my shopping cart that has been checked out, placed order, and even order received. There's two set that is still in the station and not yet delivered. ***What a shop-aholic I am!*** No not really. If it just needed.
Let me share to you the things I ordered from Shopee.
**HELLO GLOW ARS.**
This was the first budol I have for this year. It is a set of skin care. Yes. I am trying to have a glowing skin for this year. A change which hopefully make me happy. You know there is nothing wrong in spoiling yourself that can help you boost your confidence. And having a glowing face is a help.
I saw this Hello Glow Advanced Rejuvenating Set on Tiktok. I read all the reviews and everything seems so fine. And one thing, it actually works on all types of skin. Aside from the ARS, I also bought a sunscreen which is a need to avoid having wrinkles on our face when we get older and to protect us from UV Lights from the sun. And a serum soothing gel, that asides from tightening the skin it can moisturize it as well. Personally, on all skin care products I used, I'll highly recommend this Hello Glow Products. But still, always make your own research to make sure it will work on you.
**GALAXY ROSE WITH LED LIGHT.**
This was actually a gift to someone for Valentines Day. I just ordered it earlier than usual since when I read the reviews on the shops it says it will be delivered around two weeks. So I thought ordering it on January 29 will make it on February 14 or at least before the Valentines Day. But look, it arrived last February 2. Well anyway, as long the receiver is happy which she really was, then I'm happy.
**BED SHEETS AND BATH TOWEL.**
I am really a sucker of bed sheets. Adulting it is! I always love seeing and lying down on new sheets with a good fragrance. I ordered two sets again. The quality? Superb. It was all worth it. And I ordered a bath towel costumized with my birth month and a hair dry cap. I bought this hair dry cap to prevent my hair from getting frizzy. I have a curly hair and having a bath towel rubbed on it will just make it more frizzy. Hopefully, it will really work. And again, the bed sheets? They're so nice.
**SMALL BAGS.**
If I am a addicted to bed sheets, I am also addicted to small bags. I like black or any neutral small bags. I really love looking at them. I am rooting for a Charles and Keith Black bag, but it is actually pricey so I just bought an affordable bag with a good quality for the meantime. I'll save first and when I have enough, for real I'll buy my dream bag. I deserve it right?
**FACEMASK AND SHOES.**
We actually run out of face mask at home that I chose to order from Shopee instead. There's actually a nearest store in our place where we can buy facemask, but you know? The price is almost three times the price here in Shopee yet they have the same quality and they are really the same facemask. If you're going to ask me about the delivery fee, it is actually just the same with the effort going to a store with lower prices. And I also tried to order a doll shoes. I am not used on wearing shoes as it will not fit on me, but hopefully this one will. For this one, I am still waiting for it to be delivered at home.
**TOPS AND SANDAL AND DRESS.**
Aside from me loving bed sheets and bags, I am loving flat sandals too. As I mentioned above, I am not used to wear shoes that I really need to have a set of sandals. So I order one again. Then some tops, since I am just repeating clothes everytime we go out. I wanted something new. But no worries, the price is just cheap that I can afford to buy it. I also ordered a dress that hopefully will fit in me. And a sleeping wear for my friend. It is not free, she'll pay for it. Lol! I am waiting for this order to be delivered at home as well.
***Seems like I ordered a lot right? But no worries, I always make sure to think of it first before I order things and make sure that I have a spare money for the payment. What about you? What's in your cart?***

Sitting right now in front of my desktop, typing, reading my customer's concerns, trying to solve their issues, empathizing with them and assuring them that everything will be fixed and everything will be alright. I am good at reassuring people I do not even know that everything will be fine, but here I am almost giving up as things seems to not be that way I wanted it to be.
Its back. Its back again. The feeling of emptiness. The feeling that what I have done from the beginning seems to have been to waste. I don't know if it has really been.
Maybe I am trying to make things fast?
I am trying to see if I have done something good in life. I am trying to see if I have some achievements in life. I am trying to see if what I am doing is what I really want.
But you know what, it seems that we ourselves do not see greater things that we have done already. We cannot see the success we already gained, because we used to define success as achieving greater and greater and greater things. We used to see success as having a lot of money and doing everything we can do freely. Actually it is, but there are success that we just can't see as success because it is different from what it used to be.
As far as I can remember, it was the time when I get my eyes checked. Before I get home, I made a stop at McDonald's to have my late lunch. While eating, my dad called me and asked where I am and how was the checked up goes.
I told him that everything went well and I am at McDonald's eating my late lunch and he said, *"naks! McDo McDo na baby ko ah!"* And I said, *"Haha. Minsan lang to pa. Tyaka, 89 pesos lang naman eh."* There he told me how I really can live the life I wanted as I was able to afford that amount of money already. As according to him, before when I do not have any work yet I used to save up my money for things that is more important. But now, I can buy and eat foods I want without thinking the amount I will spend on it.
He considered that act already as one of my success in life. He told me that I do not need to rush things as I am still young. I need to enjoy life and I need to appreciate the small wins and success in life as bigger things starts from small ones.
That's when I realized that I am focusing on things that will just make me stressed out but never appreciate all the good things that already happened.
That in life, appreciating the small things can lead us to greater things. We just need to take things one step at a time.

How's your Valentines?
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
How was your Valentines Day so far beautiful people? Did you enjoyed it with your loved ones? As I mentioned in my previous articles, Valentines Day is not only meant for lovers. It is a Love Day which means we can show our love to everyone. To our family members, friends, and special someone.
Yesterday, I saw a lot of Facebook and IG stories being posted. And I can say, I am really happy for them. There's also people making fun of the day by sharing bitter post about it, but again it is for fun only. Nothing serious. ***Love really is in the air. We can't deny that.***
And yesterday as well, I received a greetings from a loved one. ***Yieee! Kilig yarn? Lol!***
You know, I find this one so cute! Just the thought of receiving this message and making an effort in editing this made my heart the happiest. This is really so sweet. This is actually more than enough as it really made me smile.
You know I did not expect any real flowers to be given to me since we are far from each other. Little did I know, my love and my friend planned something about it. I didn't have any clue about it. My two roommates went out of the house thinking they're having their dates too. So when they get out, I just decided to have my bath. And when I finished, it is the same time they arrived home. Seems like nothing will happen. Then they knocked on my door asking if I am done changing my clothes and when I go out to dry my towel, I was surprised that they handed me a bouquet of flowers! I was like, for real? I was surprised. ***Pano yung surprised?***
I am very happy that if you're with me yesterday, you can see the biggest smile I have in my face. ***Haba ng hair yarn?*** For real, I am really happy. I did not expect anything at all. And all I can say is ***thank you and I love you, love!*** What a day for me!
And since I am super inspired yesterday, I decided to cook a camote cue. Lol! I am smiling all through out while cooking it. Haha.
Since the day is too sweet, I decided to eat something sweet too. Too corny! Haha. ***Pagbigyan niyo na ko, minsan lang to. Lol!***
And seems the day gone too short because of the happiness I felt, I decided to get inside the room to rest and look what I saw.
Its Kali, our kitten peacefully sleeping at the lower deck of my bed. She's too cute. I am actually not the owner of the cat, its Chenny. So when I saw this, I took a picture of it right away and send it to her since she as well is our of house to meet her sister. Kali, is very hyper nowadays that she wanted to just play and play and play. She really is like a small girl in our house. She became our happiness.

Blessed February 10th! 💗
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Every 10th of the month is only a normal day for me. Eventhough it is our payday, there's nothing special about it aside from sending money to our loved ones for their needs. Well as for me, payday is just a transfer day. You know, paying bills. One time, money is on my hand. And the second thing I know, it already disappeared. That fast! But its okay. That's how it is.
Well yesterday's our payday. We decided to apply for a Postal ID for at least we'll have a valid one as the National ID is not yet delivered. We got the requirements ready so that when we get there, we're just going to pass it right away. However, since we are just renting they require us to get a Barangay Certificate. So we ended up not able to apply. Maybe next time? But you know, I encountered one thing. Why getting a valid ID, requires a valid ID? And how true is it that the National ID is not a primary/valid ID? I have a friend here that when they were given relief goods because of the Typhoon Odette, they were asked for a valid ID and when they gave the National ID it was not accepted as it is not a valid one because it does not have a signature. How true is that? Did you experienced the same? I mean, how could be a said National ID not a valid one?
Well since we weren't able to apply successfully, we just decided to take our lunch. We went to Tokyo Tokyo - a Japanese Restaurant.
We just took our late lunch there for about 45 minutes, when we saw an old man walking past us looking so hungry. I asked mamii Jheah to approach him because he really seemed not to have lunch yet. Mamii asked him if he has eaten yet, and we are right that he is not. He has 20 pesos and he is trying to look for food that only worth that amount. Like if you're inside the mall, for sure you're really not be able to look for one. We felt bad for Tatay, so we decided to order food for him and give him fare back home. We weren't able to ask more questions about him as we as well running out of time as we still need to buy some groceries. Before we left, we asked one of the crew that if Tatay can't eat everything they will just pack the remaining foods for Tatay's take out. Hopefully it made him full and that he can go home safely.
Then we head straight to the supermarket to buy everything we need at home. We paid about 5000 pesos, but it is okay as we are five sharing the amount. We actually just paid around 700 each as some of the goods are for personal use of each one of us.
Then it seems that we did not spent a lot of time doing groceries, we decided to do some window shopping. Literal window shopping. Lol!
That's us trying out glasses in Penshoppe. And yes, since we're just having window shopping we did not buy it. And of course the main reason we do not have spare money anymore. No to budol. Lol!
And there we head home.
And when I get home, I received a very nice message from the company.
This is an approval of the application I applied for for a cash assistance due to Typhoon Odette. The application actually took more than a month and I am really thankful that it was approved. The money was not sent yet, but at least I am expecting something that can really help me in building our new home. Thank you Lord! The amount is $195. It is already big for me as it really can help in buying some materials. The progress is slow, but I know slow progress is still a progress. Soonest, I'll be having a house I can call mine. Thank you Lord!
And that's how my payday went. I just realized that I have a very blessed February 10th! 💗

***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
I saw ate @Zhyne06 's article the other day about the random questions she answered that she found on Facebook and shared it on her wall. When I visited the link, I realized it was the same set of questions I saw on Facebook that I took a screenshot with because I am planning to answer some and share it here as well. It just took me some days before finally answering some because I really didn't feel like doing so. My laziness again! But here it goes, I finally decided to answer them out. I just chose nine questions only.
**Are you scared of anything?** Not just anything. I am scared of a lot of things. I am scared that what I am working hard for will not fall on how I wanted it to be. I am scared that I may disappoint people who has a high expectation of me. I am scared that what I am doing is not enough.
**What really makes you angry?** I am a person who doesn't get angry easily. I have a long patience. I can control my feelings. But what really makes me angry? It is, people not putting back things where they get it at the first place. Maybe it is too low for me to get angry with such reason, but I can't help it. You know, I want things organized. I want seeing things organized. It really stresses me out seeing a lot of things not in placed where it is just so easy to keep a place tidy.
**What is your dream for your parents?** A lot. Making them happy is my priority. But one thing my parents want to have, especially my mom is to have our own house. My mom and my younger brother is living in a house that we do not own, the house if from my late grandpa. But you know what, we are starting to build our own. I am just so happy everytime my mama calls me, she always tells me that we are about to have our own house and I can hear on her voice the excitement and the happiness she feels and it makes me happy that it motivated me to work hard so that in no time we'll finally have our own house.
**If someone cheat you, what will you do?** I haven't tried getting cheated on. And please, I never wanted to experienced it. And if ever, I do not know how I should react. For sure it will hurt me to the bones, and what I can do? Let go. The more I hold on, the more I'll get hurt. That person already cheated, and there's a lot of possibility he/she will do the same thing again.
**When you are jealous, do you show it?** I do. I am not really good at hiding feelings. You can really see it all over my face. Just the other day, I felt jealous because of someone I never expected I will be jealous of.
**Top 5 favorite song when you are sad.** I have several songs in my playlist and the most played are: The One That Got Away, Ddaeng by BTS, The Truth Untold still by BTS, Its You, and Fix You. I listened to them not just when I am sad, but also when I am happy, when I am at work, and even when I am doing things at home.
**If you had the chance to change one thing, what will you change?** Personally, my spending habits. But I am actually seeing a lot of improvements this time. I can say, I am better this time. I am such an impulsive buyer that if I felt I like it, I'm gonna buy it. But now, I always think if ever it is really a need or just a want that I can buy sooner if really needed to.
**Anong mas masakit, yung tinatanggi ka or tinatago ka?** Personally, it hurts most when you are denied. You do not need na sabihin sa lahat that he/she is your lover. You do not need to always post in social media just to say na hindi ka tinatago. If ever someone will ask, are you in a relationship with her/him? You can just say, yes. And it is way better than denying it even if you two really are in a relationship. People not knowing that you two are in a relationship doesn't make the love you two felt for each other less. It is better keep it that way, because the more you make it public, the more na maraming makikisawsaw. Keep it private, but don't deny it.
**Minsan ka nabang nainsecure sa physical appearance ng ibang tao?** Not just minsan. Most of the time. I am a very short girl. Not even 5". Has a short legs and a no nice body type. I can't wear whatever I want as I see it not good for me. I even wish I have the same body type like the girls out there. I always fascinated how anything like other girls wear fits them well. But right now, I am learning and exploring the clothes that will fit my body. Because if I will keep getting insecure, walang mangyayari. I need to really work on it. Self love is first, and what follow will follow.

My to - do - list, today.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Right now, I am still 7 hours away from my end shift. And I am already sleepy. I do not know, these past few days all I want is to sleep. The other day I even slept 12 hours yet when I faced my computer, I felt sleepy again. How I wish I can just log out from work everytime I felt that way, but no. That cannot be. It will affect my performance and my salary. I need to work. I am not rich. So I have no choice. Maybe soon?
Today's my last shift also and I am about to have my rest day! Yay. Finally. However, my supervisor sent a document on our team that we have a scheduled work on day off. Phew! That's so tiring. Hopefully it will get cancelled so I'll have a full two rest days. *Fingers crossed!*
Anyway its too early to get stressed out with that thought, so let's just talk about my plans for today. Of course, after my shift I need to take my lunch so that I'll have some energy to do the things I have in mind.
I actually supposed to go out with a friend; she is meeting someone. You know, I'm gonna be a third wheel again. My forever role in friendships. Lol! I actually said yes already last night, but since I have a scheduled work tomorrow I cannot go anymore. Hopefully, she'll not feel bad. I'll let her understand later.
After my lunch, I'll try to clean the floor. It's so messy because of Kali. You know, everytime we give her food, she always put her hands on the food itself that it ends up leaving some of her foot prints with dirt and it leaves a bad odor as well. Hopefully, she'll learn to clean herself just like the other cats there.
After that, I'll wash my bed sheets. I need to soak it first for about 1 to 2 hours before washing since its white. While waiting, I'll clean up first my room as well. Cleaning my room will actually not take that much of my time so for sure I'll still have some time left before I'll wash them. So while waiting, I am actually planning to buy books online, E-Books to be exact. Do you think it will be a good choice? I have a list of books I wanted to read and when I visited a book store last time the books are too pricey for me, so I decided to look for alternatives and I found some online. But I am thinking that if I'll buy online and read it on my phone maybe I'll be tempted to open my social media instead. Phew! Alright, I'll just invest with a physical book instead. For sure it will be worth it.
And there, I'll be doing my laundry.
And today as well, I am planning to cook Bam-i.
***Bam-I******, or pancit Bisaya, is a Filipino noodle dish that originated in Central Visayas, specifically Cebu. It consists of two types of noodles, which is pancit canton and sotanghon. Using different kinds of noodles and ingredients gives the dish an extraordinary blend of textures and Pinoy flavors. Garnashing with kinchay (parsley) and calamansi also adds a pop of color to this dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit at any occasion, may it be a festival celebration or a birthday party!*** https://www.yummy.ph/recipe/bam-i-pancit-bisaya-recipe-a462-20160830
I will just let my boardmates buy the other ingredients since I am the one to cook. We need to divide the expenses. Only if I have a lot of money, I'll shoulder it all. Lol! And since I am not a good cook and I am not good in the kitchen, I'm gonna watch a YouTube video on how to cook Bam-I correctly. Hopefully it will taste good. I love cooking, it's just that cooking doesn't love me at all. Pain!
Then after the long day, maybe I'll just read articles or watch at least 2 episodes of All Of Us Are Dead and sleep.
Seems like I'll be having a long day today. Let's summarize it all.
Finish my 9 hour shift, without log out
Eat my lunch
Do the laundry
Decide what books to buy
Cook
Watch Netflix
Sleep, my favourite part
And another day will come that we will be thankful of.

Oh no, water no!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Yesterday seems to be not a good day for me. I wasn't able to share it here right away since I wanted to upload first the last article I have on draft. And as you can see it is just about 11 hours ago since my last article and I have this now already. It is because I failed to write an article the other day, and I do not want to miss a day here. I am trying to complete the 28 days for this month with 28 articles. Wish me luck!
Anyway, here's what happened yesterday. I actually got a good sleep, yet when I started my shift I felt so sleepy right away. I tried my best not to sleep since I still have nine hours to finish. I just drink two cups of coffee just to stay awake. And thankfully I made it for how many hours.
I shared it on my previous article that we have a new cat at home, she is Kali. I am already attached with her as she is so cute and has no mom at all. I love feeding her and I love cleaning her mess even if it does not smell good. But you know what she just did? She scratched my legs. I do not know if what she's trying to do. I am actually not playing with her since I am still at work and I do not know why she just scratched me out of nowhere. The scratch is still stinging until now actually. As much as I wanted to kick out Kali from the house, I didn't do it because I'll feel bad and maybe she doesn't mean to scratch me out.
Hours after that, it was about one and a half hour before the end of my shift my migraine attacked me again. I feel like my head was going to burst that I have no choice but to log out from work. I just messaged my manager about the issue and try to go to sleep instead. I do not have any medicines to take as the pharmacy near our home run out of Advil. So I guess, taking sleep will at least help and it did.
And when I woke up, I decided to look for Advil from other pharmacy because I am afraid my migraine will be back. I decided to took a bath first, but you know what happened? When I am in the middle of putting soap all over my body, the water stops. I was like, Oh no! Water, no. And it really stopped. Good thing I was able to keep at least one pail of water and try to use it until I can finish taking a bath. The feeling, its so sticky!
Just how my day goes by yesterday. What's good thing happened? I was able to buy a medicine for my migraine. Not an Advil though, but Medicol works for me as well.
And there I ended up my day with a good night still as I know, it is only a bad day not a bad life. I just need to always look at the brighter side.

The #4 Supremacy.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
How's life out there with you all, people? It's already the 4th of February and nothing so far is special that happened to me yet aside from waking up everyday which is a gift. And days from now, we are about to celebrate the Valentines Day, **the Love Day**. Do not be sorry if you are single or you do not have anyone to date with. You can date your family, friends, and even yourself. ***Valentines Day is not only a romantic love for the opposite sex. It is for all types of love.***
*Well anyway, I will not be talking about Love Day. Lol! I'll just be sharing a post that I run to on Facebook.*
This is actually a Twitter post by my supervisor's previous classmate that was shared on Facebook as well. It is actually some **signs that you are adulting.** It made me laugh actually, but these list are for real. The post is in Bisaya, but I'll try to translate in Tagalog and English.
**Maibog naka ug nindot nga oven.** *(Nagugustuhan mo na yung magandang oven. You'll get to like a nice oven.)*
***Ako lang ba? Or ako lang talaga? Lol!*** I used to like new clothes, new bags, new shoes and sandals. Before. But this time, I am more into kitchen things. My heart will literally turn into a heart whenever I see a new set of cooking pans, set of plates, new mugs and glass. And anything you can see in the kitchen. I have a lot on my Shopee cart planning to check out if ever I have enough money.
**Malipay naka makakita ug presko nga isda.** *(Masaya ka nang makakita ng preskong isda. You'll get happy seeing a fresh fish.)*
***Who would not, right? We all do.*** Who would like to eat a non fresh food? But you know before, I really do not like eating fish that much. I am more into meats. When I get older, I just realized how my body needs fish. And I am happy to see in the market a lot of fresh fish and more than happy when I get it in a lower price. Lol! And you know, I like fish to be cooked as a fish soup not just a fried fish. ***The taste. Heaven!***
**Mas nindot muligid, kesa mulaag.** *(Mas maganda humiga, kesa lumabas ng bahay. It's better to stay at home, than go out.)*
***This made me laugh like hell! Like for real.*** This is so true. When I was a teenager, I always like getting out. Like, I even sneak from home just to get out with friends and go somewhere. Try to ask a close friend to tell my mom we are doing a school work even if we are not just for her to say yes. But now? I prefer staying at home and keeping the house clean. Cleaning has been my happiness. And if ever I do not feel like cleaning, I prefer to just stay in bed and relax. Scroll on my social media accounts and it will make me happy already. Just things like that is enough. I do go out with friends still, but not that much already. ***The difference, right?***
**Mawad an kag kusog ug wala nakay kwarta.** *(Nalulungkot ka pag wala ka ng pera. You'll get sad when you do not have money.)*
***This is so real. Chef's kiss. 100% real. Just for me!*** I am not sure with you, all! Lol. I even sometimes make a joke with friends, everytime I am having a headache. They always offer to buy medicines for me, but I will ask them to give me money instead. For sure, it will heal me right away. And of course I am just joking about it. But you know, money really is needed that if we run out of it we'll get stress right away since it is the only thing that can buy our needs and wants.
***What about you? What are the things you've observed that maybe a sign already that you are adulting?***

bo's coffee is the new tagay!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*As what you can see, this is the second article I uploaded for today. I am really trying to upload one article per day. Yes. Trying. Hopefully I can make it, knowing we only have 28 days this month.*
Well anyway, I just got home tonight and guess where I go? It is actually out of plan that we will go out today but because of another friend, getting broken hearted again, we decided to visit a coffee shop. ***Yes. Another friend. And yes, another heartache.*** I'm getting surrounded with these people, and honestly I am not happy seeing them that way. I can feel the pain too since they are so close to me. As usual, all I can lend is a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to. ***How I wish I can help them ease their pain right away. Only if.***
*Here's a photo of us earlier at Bo's Coffee, and guess who is in pain right now.*
We're supposed to just drink alcohol, but since we know it will not help as it will just make us dizzy, we decided to just go to Bo's Coffee. You know, ***Bo's Coffee is the new tagay!*** And the real plan earlier is to eat at Vikings Buffet since they are offering a promo for Year of the Tiger babies, however it seems so expensive still so we decided to go to a coffee shop instead and just bought some doughnuts, shouldered by guess who? Our broken hearted friend. For real, ***moving on is expensive.***
*I mean, it is based on my experience before as well. I used to do stress eating. I mean, that was my way to move on. To eat a lot. And it will cost money. But you know, whatever it takes since you wanted to move on, you gotta do everything to make it happen.*
Anyway, this is not my story. Lol!
So there, we just talked a lot. We stayed there for two hours. Trying to give advices and all that we hoped will work. Though we know it will not work that way and it will not work that easy. *A lot of word work, huh? Lol.*
**I do not know why, does love really works this way? I mean, why those who loves the most, get hurts the most?**
Sometimes I can do ask why not just let those people who has good intention meet the right person for them right away? And let those who just wanted to play out with feelings be with the same so that they would feel how getting hurt feels? *Such a selfish thought I have, but why not? Right?*
But for real hopefully, our advices will help our friend to realize how worthy he is as a person and that he should not settle for less. That he will not waste all the love he can offer. I mean, he deserve better.
And after with all the long talks, we decided to get home since we have Kali left at home that needs to eat. Kali's the newest member of the family. Our little cat. She was a stray cat that Ramon found outside our house.

The month of January felt like a whole year for me. It felt too long. Maybe because I am looking forward to a new month, or maybe it is because that's the way it is. *Kanta yarn?* No just kidding! But yes, since January just ended I just wanted to share to you how my January went.
This was taken exactly at the 1st day of January and this is our first milktea of the year. Since we get back on site this time because of Typhoon Odette, we decided to visit a milktea shop after our shift since this shop is just at the back of the office. No need for rides, so its convenient. Heavy chikas just how Odette really affected lives. Good thing I can see right now how families are getting back on track. Slowly, but still in progress.
This photo was taken after we enjoy playing at Time Zone. We have so much fun, especially me that I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures. Good thing I have Lyn, the one in black who is very addicted on taking pictures I got this nice photo. We really enjoyed the day that when we get out of the mall, it is already dark. And one good thing, I was able to accumulate 2000 points with the 300 pesos load I bought that time. I am about to get the big stuff toy I like. Just more grind on games.
Look at this very cute bag. Mamii @BreadChamp gifted this to me before I went back to province. It is very cute and the color is purple which is my favourite. My heart is was so happy receiving this gift. But you know, I haven't used this bag yet because I do not know how and what dress I should pair this up. Maybe soon when I have a lot of clothes.
The most beautiful thing happened on my 2022 so far. I was able to get home even for four days only. I am so happy seeing my mama and younger brother smile because I was able to give them what they are asking for and it is more than enough for me as well to see them that way. How I wish I can get home again. Soon!
Nails. Nails. Nails! Arte arte yarn? This is my first time to try the nail extension, using nail gel and some nail arts. Its kinda pricey, but I wanted to try it out. I just put design on my ring finger since the art to be use has different price prior to the nail polish. I love the result, its so simple but beautiful. But you know, the struggle having long nails? Lol! I deserved it.
Heavy chika and we're on Marites mode at this moment. Sorry po! Lol. This is my friend. My broken hearted friend. It so expensive to have a broken hearted friend. Just kidding! But yes you know, stress eating. I need to accompany her as she really needs to have someone to talk to. And it is really not necessary for me to talk as well, just the fact that there is someone listening to your rants is already enough to at least ease the pain she is feeling. Hopefully our talk make her better. And hopefully, she'll get healed in no time.
*Seems that I did not do a lot on January. Maybe because I am just at home working and going out too much is kind of a risk because of the rising cases of the Covid 19. So staying at home is the best choice as of now and getting out once is okay as well, just be extra careful.*

Guess who? That someone is here too.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Did the time flew so fast or it became slower than ever? Tonight's the last day of the month, *in Philippine Time to be exact.* And since I am bored, let me just share you **some facts about me.**
**Turning 24 this June**, so please prepare me a gift. BCH will be highly appreciated, I'll just send you the address. *Just kidding!* But you can make it true, and it will be the best gift ever. Lol!
**4'11**. Not even sure if that's my exact height. But I'm sure I am not even 5". I'm small, but I have a big and high dreams which I guess is okay. Right?
I am in a relationship with someone I never expected I will be. **It's like my never have I ever but I have.** But no regrets. I am happy. *Guess who? That someone is here too.*
My first fave color is **purple**, but when I reach my teenage it transitioned to green which I really like how it is so calming to my eyes. But when I became a fan of BTS, it get back to purple. Because you know, *Borahae! I purple you. Fate it is?*
**"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."** *1 Corinthian 13:13.* This has been my bio on my Facebook account. I just love how this verse let us know how powerful love is especially if it is a love for God as it will reflect on how we treat other people. *My verse to ponder at all time.*
I love spicy foods, but I can't stand eating them. I do not know. *Ironic!*
**I do not know my blood type.** I'll get it check when I have spare time.
I was once a **phone case addict.** I have 16 phone cases right now and use only 3 of it. *Such an impulsive buyer!*
I love collecting bed sheets more than clothes. I have 4 sets now, and has 2 more waiting to arrive home. **Adulting it is?** I just love to lie in bed with a good scent of new sheets.
The most expensive want *since it is really not a need,* I bought for myself is a merch by BTS. It costs 3900 Philippine Peso. No regrets since I am a fan. **And I deserve it.** *(Sa kaka'deserve mo, wala ka ng pera. Kaya deserve mo din yan!)* And right now, I am in merch ban since they are still in vacation and busy getting to know how instagram works.
**I almost got Glaucoma** ***(an eye disease)***, good thing I was able to see a doctor that I am prescribed a medicine that I need to take for the rest of my life so that one of the optic nerve I have which has an unusual size will not get bigger and bigger anymore. *I really forgot the exact explanation of the opthalmologist I reached out to*, but the bottomline is, I have a nerve that should not have the size it has right now.
I used to not like Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Flavor, because I just do not know why. But it was about last two weeks I guess when one of our roommate bought an ice cream with that flavor and I just can't believe I liked it. And it feels like, its my new favourite. **Sorry, coffee crumble! You'll be replaced.**
**I always wear high waisted shorts.** Not because I wanted to be sexy, *which I am really not, b*ut because it seems it is the only fit that fits me. You know, I am a very short girl and I really do not have a proportion body, like I have a very short legs and me wearing pants will just make me look shorter. *How I wish I can really find the clothes that will best fits me!*
***Random 2.0: I changed the title of this article 7 times.***
***Random 2.1: I wrote this one trying to make sure I'll upload it before midnight of January 31st and I did it.***
So there it goes! This is what boringness made me do. Lol! *Is there even a word boringness?* This supposed to be a simple facts about me, but I decided to include some explanation, *if you even call it that way.* I just do not want that my boringness will get to this article too.
**What about you? What are some facts you have?**

Pick your heart!
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**Take what you need today! Take it. And have it.**
Life has been very challenging to us these past times, yet look at us still here, *alive and kicking.* And that is what matters the most.
Have you tried looking back in the past years. It was just so fun way back 2019. Not until this invisible virus affected the world. 2020 became the worst. Our hope arises that the following year will be a year of healing and change, but for some reason it worsen the situation. Which really affected everyone. In all aspect. Health, work, psychological, emotional and everything.
But look at us now, 2022 is here and we're still here. ***Trials and all are strong, but we are stronger.***
And since it is yet the 22nd day of January. The year is still fresh. A lot of things may happen ahead. We do not know anything yet. But we are still hopeful. Being hopeful is really our nature and that what keeps us from going.
*And with that, I have there the five coloured heart you can choose to if whatever you really need for this year. Got a chance to* ***Pick Your Heart.***

***RED HEART. (Hope and Chances)***
While there is Life, there is Hope. Hope and Chances is really what keeps us from going and let's try not to stop from hoping and looking for the possible chances. But we always need to make sure that we will do our part. We can't just keep on hoping and do nothing. It always takes two to tango for a better result.
***YELLOW HEART. (Genuine Happiness)***
Who do not want to be happy? We are all living to find happiness. But the thing is, we used to depend our happiness from someone, to that material things we wanted to have, our success and all. It is actually not wrong and okay to find happiness on such, but we somehow need to remember that the real happiness is just within ourselves. Our small wins from the biggest battles of life is a real happiness. We just need to appreciate the small things in life. Be grateful. To be grateful is to be happy. Genuinely.
***GREEN HEART. (Peace of Mind)***
Has been really looking and praying to have this peace of mind, and slowly I am having it. I've been in a hurry to reach things out that I ended up getting disappointed and stress out about it. Not until realization hit me that it is always one step at a time. That a slow progress is still a progress. That a peace of mind is better that anything else.
***BLUE HEART. (Motivation)***
It is always my family. Nothing else. Maybe if I am not a breadwinner, I am not sure what my motivation will be. For some reason, I am loving it that I a am a breadwinner. For I know what I am doing, what for, and who for. Like I always have a reason to live and to continue. That it really makes me happy. Tiring, yes that a given. But the satisfaction I feel everyday is more than enough for me to grind more. That my family is more than enough.
***ORANGE HEART. (Support and Help)***
Being someone that supports and help is a great feeling already that it can make our heart grow. And human as we are we as well need support and help. It is always okay to seek for it. It is not a sign of weakness but of strength. Strength, that you accept to yourself that you cannot do everything by yourself. You need support in different ways. Through prayers, and even the emotional help is needed. We all need that. We can ask for it. Remember, no one is an island as always said. We really need a companion in life.
**What about you, what do you need to today? Pick a heart and have it.**

Gallery Raid? Bring it on.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Reading some articles for a reason I want to have an idea what to write today since I already skipped a lot of days here in Read Cash. And it did not make me happy for real.
Good thing, I am able to read @meitanteikudo 's article about the Gallery Raid. *Wow! I thought, we only have bag raid, house raid, and any other raid there. I'm not complaining though. I like it better.*
So let's start the raid. Gallery Raid.
**Latest Photo On Your Gallery.**
As what you can see, it is an online order from Grab Food. Well, we have a visitor as of the moment. He's our former teammate and he's been bored at home alone that he decided to visit us here. He is not alcoholic. He really do not drink any kind of liquor. As far as I can remember, that was pre-pandemic, our team used to have a night out and everytime we offer him a drink he always have this line, "Dili ko muinom kay duty pa ko ugma." (I'll not drink. I still have a shift tomorrow.) Even though he doesn't have. And of course we need to respect his preference. And with that, we decided to order some milk tea instead for his drink today. And you know what, he doesn't like it. Lol!
**A Photo You Have No Idea What It Is About.**
As what I can see on the time stamp on my gallery it was taken the other day. I am really not sure what this is. But if I am not mistaken, this a keyboard. Maybe I accidentally opened my camera and accidentally took this picture. I am not really sure.
**A Photo Of Food You Want To Eat Again.**
Seafoods. Seafoods. Seafoods. I am just beyond thankful that I am not allergy to any kind of food that I can eat whatever I want. And seafood is really one of my favourite food. It is kinda pricey though, but it is all worth it. The spices are really good. You can taste that it is all fresh. As much as we wanted to order another bucket of this, we did not as I mentioned it is really pricey. Maybe next time? But when?
**A Place You Have Been That You Want To Visit Again.**
Rides! I miss it. This is the first ever paseo I have since COVID 19. It was a very enjoyable day. I love riding adventurous rides. It was scary yet so satisfying. I want to get back there with my boardmates but some of them are afraid of rides. Let me tell you, once you try it you'll be wanting it again. My favourite? Viking! Here I go.
**A Selfie/Groufie.**
A group photo that means a lot to me. I miss these people. They are like my sisters and brothers that stayed with me through out. I am not used on having boy friends, but they changed my perspective that you really can be friends with boys without making an issue out of it. It is just so sad that I wasn't able to meet them when I get home last week since we have no contact because of no signal and electricity.
**The Most Memorable Photo.**
Most memorable photo indeed. One of my mom's dream for me to finish college. And I made it. Thank God for allowing me to. I know my mom is proud of me. No latin honour, but just having my diploma is more than enough. Wearing this black toga was just a dream before, but finally wearing it for real was the best thing happened, ever.

Finally, I'm home.
***Hello beautiful people!***

It was such a great feeling that after almost three years, I finally got to see my mama again. It was very heart warming to see the smile of my mama after seeing me again, I felt the same actually. I was very happy.
What's the reason why I wasn't able to get home for the past three years?
I got here in the city last 2019. And since I am just adjusting as it was my first time and I need to make and save money for I am the one supporting them in the province, I chose not to get home. Until 2020 came where I decided to book a ticket, but my supervisor advised me that if ever I will get home, there's a big possibility that I will be isolated and quarantined for 14 days before I can go back to work which I did not agree since it is one cut off of my pay and if ever I chose to get home I have nothing in my pocket that can be sent to them for their needs. So I decided not to get home.
2021, when vaccines were already available and that once you are vaccinated you can travel from one place to another. The reason I decided to get the vaccine is because I thought I can get home easily. But no. There's still a need for me to be quarantined again for 7 days in the province. And again, if I chose to do so I will have no pay for 7 days. Its a waste if ever. So I decided again not to get home. Again.
Then about December of 2021, my younger brother messaged me telling that I can go home as they will not require travellers for a 7 day quarantine. Finally. Thank God! I was too excited that I am about to book a ticket.
Not until the typhoon came. It was heart wrecking that I can't go home again.
But God knows how much I wanted to get home that He finally allowed me to.
So just last January 11 this year, I finally got home.
I arrived at the port around 2 AM in the morning, rode a service bus going to Sogod, where my mama and younger brother fetch me up. I was too excited that I wasn't able to sleep in the bus even I have 2 hours travel time from port to Sogod. When I arrived, I waited for about 15 minutes before my mama arrived as well. I was very very very happy. Finally!
I stayed in the province for 3 days and two nights only. I only have 2 rest days since my leave was not approved. I even absent from work for two days since I need to rest. But it was all worth it. I did not regret that I made an absence because again it is worth it. I know I can catch up on the absences I made.
For 3 days, I just stayed with my mama. We went out for a brunch, visited a church everyday, fetch some water since they have no water yet because of the typhoon.
Our place was really badly affected by the typhoon, but I am just so happy to see that they are now starting to get back on track. It was not easy, but they are not making it too hard. They believe that in no time, they'll be back on what they used to be.
I just really can't explain how happy I am when I get home that when it was my last day at the province my mind can't stop from counting how many hours I have left before leaving again. As much as I wanted to stay longer, I cannot as I really need to be back on work.
So about 5 PM on the last day, I decided to pack my things and ready for the travel back here in the city. I arrived at the port about 7 PM and waited there for 3 hours since the travel time is 10 PM.
When I am inside the ship, I can't help myself but cry. I really missed my mama again. I even thought of getting out of the ship and go home again. How silly! But I just relaxed my mind. I tried harder. And talked to myself that I'll be home again. In God's will.
Here's some photos we took during my vacation. It was only limited pictures since I need to save battery for there's still no electricity there.
It was a short visit, but it was still worth it. Looking forward on seeing them again soonest.

My first(s) this year.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
****01062022****
It's already the 6th day of January and this is yet the 2nd article I've uploaded. *So lazy of me. Yes!* I'm actually thinking how I will start everything this year. Half of me is thinking **to just go with the flow**, and another half of me is wanting to **put things in order** to make sure I have something to look forward and see if I made it at the end of the year. *So what do you think is a better option? Or the best?*
Anyway since I do not have anything to write and I just cannot sleep yet, I just decided to write an article about **my first(s) this year.** *(with photos, excuse me. Lol!)*
**FIRST DAY WORKING AT HOME. (again)**
One of the happiest day I have so far for this year. This was after our place was hit by Typhoon Odette that we were asked to get back on site since electricity and internet at home was affected as well. Working on site is fun as we met finally our teammates that we just know online. Saw a lot of new faces, saw how the company improved a lot, and a lot of more. But working at home really hits different. The feeling that you do not need to prepare yourself and can just wake up 5 minutes before the shift is the best feeling ever, then after shift you can just lie in bed and rest. ***Thank God for letting us be back working at home.***
**FIRST MILK TEA. (Thanks A Little Tea!)**
After the typhoon, we really craved for milktea as it seems so stressful seeing how Odette ruined everything. It was stressful as we cannot reach our families who were badly affected as well. However, when we tried to open our food app, internet connection is not available. So we really waited for electricity and internet to be back for me to get a taste of milktea. And good thing as 2022 came, things are getting better already, though not completely but people are getting used to the situation and helping each other to rise up again. So there, one of the milktea shop near our office open up already and we decided to order some. ***What a taste!***
**FIRST PHOTO. (excuse my height!)**
Got a lot of photos when I started to work on site again, but this one really is taken last January 01, 2022. My first photo of the year. This was taken on the same shop where we ordered milktea. It is obvious right? **A boba on the side.** And if you are wondering why I am wearing shorts working in the office is because the company is temporarily having a dress down. This means, we can wear everything we want for the mean time. This is because as well we almost run out of clothes to wear as there's no water yet that time and laundry shops were closed too. So we were given a consideration.
**FIRST PACKAGE. (thank you, LBC!)**
This package took almost a month before I got it in my hand. It was supposed a one week only but because of the typhoon, it took longer. I worried actually thinking it may get lost, but good thing it didn't. I'm really excited to have this that the moment LBC beep me up that it is available for pick up, I really got up and prepare to get this one. ***Guess what's inside and who this one from?***
**NOT A FIRST BUT I'M HAPPY WITH THIS. (a ticket going home.)**
Finally, I can say I'll be going home for real. Yes. Thank you Lord. Four days from now and I'll see my family again. I am more than excited. I get a roundtrip ticket as I still need to get back in the city for work. Continue grinding! I'll be at home for three days and two nights. How I wish I can stay longer! But at least. But you know, one thing is worrying me as Covid 19 cases are rising up again in Metro Manila and I am afraid that it may affect my travel. Hopefully it will really not. Let's just keep ourselves safe. Anyway, I am still looking for the best and looking forward in meeting my family. ***I know, God will allow me to.***
**What about you? What's your first(s) this year?**

Page 4 of 365. My late start.
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
**New beginnings. New plans. New challenges.**
Day 16 from the time we were drawn out by Typhoon Odette and its been 14 days since I started to work back on site because of no electricity, no water, no internet connection. When I stepped my foot to our office, everything seems so new to me. New faces, new set up, new environment. It has been almost 2 years since I am working at home and in just a snap of a finger, I am back on site. Its actually a good thing to be back onsite for some reason.
***I was able to reminisce how I started to grow on this company.***
***This is the place I got to meet wonderful people.***
***The environment seems go different yet exciting.***
But still, there's still no place like home. I am not living at my own home, but I already considered my rented house as my own. That is at least for me to feel like I am home and I did. **The best feeling!**
**Day 1 of January. First day of 2022.**
First day at home after staying on site for more than two weeks. The feelings! **I miss this feeling.**
Finally, I will have to have a good sleep everyday. I do not need to wake up 2 or 3 hours earlier before my shift. I'll have a lot of time cleaning and making my room nice. I can just rest whenever I want. And I will not get to spend money on site. **The most important thing ever.**
And you know what guys, I always share here how I really wanted to get home at the province and finally, I will be doing it in few days. I am excited. I am really decided to get home that if I need to be absent at work, I will. I do not know why, I have this feeling that I really need to be there. My mind is fixed and I am looking forward in meeting my family again.
This one supposed to be uploaded on the first of this month, but things just kept of getting hectic because of what happened and I always have no time to write and read. So this will be uploaded today.
And by the way, we are crowded now at home yet it feels enjoyable. Friends kept on coming over and talk about life. Its so nice to have a serious talk with them.
And one topic we have, is about love. A forbidden love. But my question is, is it really forbidden? Or its the person that makes it forbidden. I do not know at all. Good thing, it did not happen to me as I do not know what to do. All I can do is advise and listen on both side not to be bias. Well its not easy. But in the other hand, I was able to learn. I was able to learn from the experiences of others.
For real, sometimes you do not need to experience things at all to learn. You can just learn a thing from someone's experience. And yet, experience is the best teacher. But whatever happens, life goes on.

*Electricity. Water. Internet. They're back! And I'm trying to get back on track as well after experiencing some unexpected things. Traumatizing, yet still thankful and blessed for staying alive and breathing.*
**Thankful.**

*Thankful to the people that shows support and lend a shoulder to cry on.*
*Thankful to a friendships that stays the same despite of not having a constant communication.*
*Thankful to a family that did not pressure and stayed on my side emotionally and spiritually.*
*Thankful to someone for coming to my life as a friend that turned to lovers.*

*Thankful for ever experiencing having nothing for I learned to give importance to the smallest things I have.*
*Thankful for the experiences that made me stronger.*
**Blessed.**
*Blessed to have experienced things unexpectedly that it made me realized everything in this world is worth giving an attention to.*
*Blessed that despite of what happened day 1 until now, work is still there and that I'm still able to provide.*
*Blessed to experienced being away from my family for I know how important they are to me.*

A lot of things happened. Both expected and unexpected. Success. Failures. Happiness. Sadness. Disappointments. Excitements. Yet, we still can say that it was a wonderful year. We cannot say we are happy at all if we ever not experience being sad. We cannot say we succeed if we ever did not fail. There's no yes, when there's no no.
Life is a lifelong process that if we allow things, positive things to grow within us we all will became great.
In year 2022, let's try to continue the good things we already did on this year and try to improve the things that needs improvement. Let's all spread the love, hope, and faith.
**Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.” —*****Brad Paisley***
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! HAVE A BLAST.

***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
It was such a long week already after me being mia both here in Read Cash and Noise Cash. As far as I can remember, the last article I wrote was about how my 2021 still rocked despite of all the negative things happened. That I am still thankful for I am still breathing, thinking my 2021 will end in few days and that I'll be starting my 2022 well. Not until, the storm came.
It was December 16, 2021, when Visayas and some part of Mindanao was blown out at how strong Odette was. Little did I know, I'll be experiencing such calamity. I never thought what I saw on television will be experienced by me at this age. I mean, I really just saw this thing on tv.
Calm after the storm. It was such a sunny weather morning before that happening. I was even able to witness the beuatiful sunrise, cold winds, and hear the chirps of the birds even if I am in the city.
But when afternoon came, rain started to pour and PAGASA already mentioned that our place was in Signal No. 1 then it became Super Typhoon. How fast! How strong! Power outage started at around five in the afternoon, winds are getting started but we kept on praying and watching news on socmed and hoping it will not become stronger. Yet, it did.
Seven in the evening, the whistling of winds and the rain started pouring harder. We already heard all the roofs getting blown away from houses. Trees falling on the ground. Debris from other houses were damaged. And many more. I even tried to cover my ears not to hear the loud bangs of things being blown out outside. Praying that the rented house we are staying will not be affected. It was a long four hours of fear thinking that in the next morning for sure people will really have no place to live in.
And I was really not mistaken.
When we go outside the next morning, the house behind our boarding house has no walls and roofs already. The pole next to our's was damaged as well. The signages of the establishments from the other road was brought near our area because of the strong wind. No electricity. No water. No food. No signal on the phones.
But thank God! We are all fine.
Southern Leyte, where my family is staying was badly affected more than I did. I cannot even contact them for days. I was worried and my mind can't even think of things that what if. But I tried my best to be more positive. Three days after I tried to look for signal to check my family's situation but no result. I even tried to contact a friend, but no reply. And there another friend sent me a picture of our house being damaged. The picture of our barangay that seems to be not our barangay anymore. But I really did not care about our house anymore, what I really wanted that time is to confirm if my family is okay. Then my little brother messaged me, **"Te okay ra mi ni mama diri."** Thank God! The best message I received so far.
Right now, I was able to write this one because the electricity in our boarding house is back. Water is back as well. People are starting to get used of what had happened. But still a lot of people near our area has no water to use and to drink that they need to fall in line for hours just to get one. It was such a sad experience. But it made us really stronger. People are helping each other. People still tried to raise a fund. People are still willing to lend a helping hand. People did not blame anyone. They chose to look at the brighter side.
Right now, people are getting used with the situation. They're just trying to go with the flow hoping and praying for better days. For sure, better days are coming as there is always a rainbow after the rain.
I am really thankful to God that not many lives were taken, but I am still sorry for those who lost their lives. May they rest in peace!
Houses may be damaged, but for sure we can rise up again. God will always provide. I am thankful to those who lend a hand to provide the needs of the places affected. The people who even travel from afar just to help and to send encouragement that things will be fine. Thankful for all the prayers received. Thankful that right now, we all are alive and kicking. It was such a good thing to be grateful of.
**To all VisMin people, let's rise up again. Bangon Bisaya! Odette is strong but we are stronger. We'll get back stronger!**
We'll be ending 2021 in few days and despite of this unexpected things happened, 2021 still rock! Thank you for giving us such experience. This made us stronger and realized life is not easy but worth living. 2021 is no joke, but worth laughing. After all, laughter is the best medicine.
Let's pray that 2022 will be a year of abundance, hope, healing and love!
Happy New Year, everyone!

Thank you, 2021! You still rock.
**121621**
15 days more to go and we are about to bid goodbye to this wonderful year, 2021!
Yes! 2021, has been a good and wonderful year still despite of what happened. The virus, storms, all the failures we encountered. You know, we can't just say that 2021 has never been good. Because right now, right at this moment we are still breathing, we are still living, that means 2021 has offered us a lot of good things. We just need to appreciate it all. ***Small things when appreciated became great things.***
And I am one of those who appreciated all the small things happened in my 2021. The battles I fought alone yet I still won. The failures I experienced, yet I still chose to continue then made it. The disappointments I felt because of too much expectations, yet I passed it all. And a lot more.
With all the not so good happenings on my 2021, I also have a lot of good things happened.
May. It was the month I met these wonderful platforms; Read Cash and Noise Cash. These two has been really good to me. It helped me financially for real. A really big help. I was able to meet my financial needs, meet a lot of amazing and wonderful people, read a lot of stories which I can relate to, able to get a lot of learnings; both in financial aspect and emotional one.
August. It feels like the saddest month of my 2021. I chose to stay in my room. Kept it dark. Chose not to talk with someone. And even thought of ending my life. Yet, I made it until now. I chose to continue and live this wonderful life. I chose to be happy, even if its fake. You know, I made it. I really tried to fake it, till I finally make it. Now, I am genuinely happy.
September. One of the happiest month on this year. I was able to met someone that adds happiness in my life. I am already complete and happy. I am just thankful that someone adds happiness on me. And make me feel I am more loved.
December. This feels sad as well as a friend is going through something that actually she is the only one that can overcome it. But I am and we are happy here at home that we are able to lend our shoulders and ears for her. We may not be the reason of her healing, but at least we can be with her in this times that she needs someone to lean on. December, the most beautiful time of the year. I am just thankful and happy that we are still able to celebrate Christmas in the next few days.
And every month, I am still able to provide the needs of my mom and little brother, the needs of myself. Their wants and my wants. I am still able to receive their support spiritually and emotionally and I am more than thankful on that.
A lot of things happened in my 2021 so far that I cannot put them into words at all. A lot of tears and smiles I experienced. A lot of success and failures. A lot of experiences. Yet I am still thankful that I am here this far. Alive and kicking. Willing to accept all the challenges coming through because for sure I'll still able to overcome them.
And in few days now, we are going to welcome 2022. Hopefully, this will be the best year to all of us. A year of healing, success, and happiness!

'mga pinagbabawal na teknik'
**121221**
***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
*Its* ***12.12 Biggest Christmas Sale.*** *How was your cart there? Did you placed some order last night? Well for me, I can say that* ***I am 12.12 safe.*** *I was not 'budoled ' by the sale from Shopee and Lazada and other online store.* ***Can I say I am proud of myself? Lol!*** *I actually promised last 11.11 that I will not be placing orders this 12.12 as I already spent a lot last month. So good thing, I made it true.* ***Yay!***
Anyway enough for that introduction. That is not what this article all about. For today, I will just be sharing some ***"pinagbabawal na teknik"*** that I somehow did on work. Most of you knew that I am working in a BPO, and I guess if you are working on the same field you'll get this one. ***And maybe, you did the same? Haha. Let's see.***
**The AUX-Jump Supremacy.** Most BPO company has really a very queueing set up. *Queueing* means, there's a lot of customers. Like just after you end the call and say *Thank you for calling Customer Service*, you'll be saying right away, *Thank you for calling Customer Service. How may I help you?* Not even one minute of rest. Tiring right? But you know, there's always a **magic**. I was still six months in the company back then when my teammate taught me this **magic** so that we can at least rest from one call to another. At first, I was really hesitant because what if we will get caught by the management? But in the long run, I just really learned how to do it. And by using the **magic**, we can at least rest for ten minutes in between calls. But right now that I am on Chat Department, I cannot do the same thing as there's no thing such magic there. Or maybe I haven't discover it yet?
**The power of Med-Cert.** *Vacation Leave disapproved? No worries.* **Sick Leave got you!** For real, I really did this one. It was year 2019 if I am not mistaken. My close teammates decided to have a night out for that certain date. Good for them it was their rest day, and bad for me it was not. I really wanted to join them but my swap shift was not approved. So we really thought of ways how I can join them without getting absent for no reason as it will affect both my pay and performance. Then there we realized we can do absent but the next day we need to pass a medical certificate. So what I did is I called in our clinic to notify them that I will be absent for a reason I am not feeling well. Then they responded that I just need to send a medical certificate the next day for dispute. Which I did. I visited a clinic before the night out and ask them for a two day rest. There I have a time for the night out and a spare day for rest before going back to work. So the next day I came back to work, both my pay and performance were disputed. *Thank you, Sick Leave!*
**RJ-45 at your service.** *Irate customers? Loss connection got your back.* I am working at home for almost two years now and I can't deny that I've been dealing a lot of irate and disrespectful customers. Most of the time I can deal with them well and I still can understand their feelings. But some time, especially if I am really not feeling well and they tend to be so irate and throw me some bad words, I really get annoyed as well. So for me to get rid of this kind of customers, I will remove the connection from the WI-FI to my computer. There, the customers will be disconnected and I'll just log it as loss connection.
*Experiencing and doing this things at work actually is really not advisable as it is against the policy. But some things really will push you to do it. You can and you cannot do it. It will always your choice to do so. And before doing such, you need to make sure to thing of the possible consequences if ever.*
*To all BPO workers there, what's your* ***'mga pinagbabawal na teknik'*** *that you already did and experienced at work?*

***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Another day. Another payday!
Do I need to be happy about this? Yes and No. Yes because, I was able to send money to my mom in the province and No because, you know money in the wind. Easy pay is in and easy pay is out. The cycle.
Anyway, since we have a friend that is going through a lot right now. Family responsibilities, self seeking, love life, and many more. So we decided to have our lunch out even if its raining for her sake.
We decided to have our lunch at Jonie's. Actually it was a very late lunch as we get to have our food by around 3:00 PM. But it was worth the wait as the food is good. Food is really life that it will lighten our mood.
Then we have our dessert at Dairy Queen. My favourite. Why? Because I just love how it will not spill after turning it upside down. *Lol! Ang babaw ng kaligayahan ko.*
During this time, we just let Lia talked about what happened and let her burst out all the feeling of pain she is having. It just so satisfying so see her smile somehow but we know what she really is feeling. I am just happy that she is now comfortable sharing what she really felt and I know it will help her move on.
And since food is life, we go to another food stall. Its the Famous Belgian Waffle. Yummy! While Lia and others are looking for a new shoes to buy, we just stayed here waiting for them.
And look ate @Momentswithmatti ! Its the Oh George! that you visited before and that you shared here in Read Cash. I remember you saying that theres a branch of this in Talamban. Maybe, I'll try to visit there soon?
Then we got home. You know, I am planning to upload this last night but I really fell asleep from our walk.
But look what I saw from one of my friend's story on facebook.
This line really hits a lot. You know, I am planning to transfer to another company next year for better opportunity. But part of me wanted to stay to my current job as I wanted to try something new on the same place. Like, getting promoted to a new position. It is just that, I really need to sacrifice something. Hopefully, I will get a good new year by 2022. Let us all pray for the best! Let us reach all the dreams we are dreaming of.
Life may really give us a lot of challenges that we even thought of not giving a try, but hopefully we'll still have the courage to try. If we succeed then good for us, and of we will not let's take it as a lesson and proceed to plan B.

***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Lia (not her real name) reached us out saying that she and her boyfriend broke up a month ago. She is living alone here in the city, and we are so worried what she may do something to herself for what happened as she even told us she's tired of living. With that, we contacted her again and tell her to stay in our place for the meantime.
Good thing she agreed for at least she has us that will help her with what she is going through. You know, she keeps on begging the guy to comeback which we do not agree anymore as it is evident that the guy has a new girl that he posted on instagram. And tell our friend to grow on their own.
I mean, is it that easy? After what you've been through together? Is growing up apart will really work?
Anyway with that said, we tried to cheer up Lia for her at least to lessen the pain which we know will really not work.
We tried to set up a small karaoke on my room and did some singing. We cooked "tempura" its actually the name we used to call it, but some of those commented on my noise cash post that it is "kikiam".
Anyway, yes we prepared the food then start the karaoke. Little did I know, one of our roommate bought a beer and there they started drinking it. I am not into liquor anymore as the last time I get drunk, I experienced a high fever. So its a lesson learned for me.
So yes, we did some karaoke, do some facebook live, loud laughs and all. Not when, one of my friend as well, not Lia requested for another bottle of beer. We did not agree as I know she cannot bear drinking it. Yet, she insisted and you know what happened next.
After a lot of singing and drinking, knocked out! I bet you all know how a drunk girl will react. Good thing, we are just at home and there's no other people that will be bothered by us .
And one more good thing is that @BreadChamp is with us as I really do not have any idea how and what to do with drunk girl.
And there, she fell asleep at around 7:30 PM and done. And that's how our yesterday gone wrong. Lol!
By the way, love really can make us do the things we are not used to do, huh? But, is it really love at all? I mean, if there is really love why we are ending up doing such things? Can love really change a person?

**16 days left and its Christmas Day.** Are you all excited? For me, I am excited and I am not. I am excited as it is the most beautiful day of the year and I am not as I am far away from my family. It's sad but life must go on!
Anyway, do you have gifts set for your loved ones already? Well for me, I have. Virtually.
@BreadChamp . Hmm! Let's see what I can give to my mamii. Oh there! I remember it now. Since we are planning to transfer to another company and it will be working on site, we both need to have a set of new clothes for us to be presentable there. So I'll give my mamii some clothes. Most of them will be croptop. She likes croptop as well. Well, it suits her as she has a very nice body.

@etching . My very loud friend. I do not know what this girl really likes. Wait! I remembered she is doing diet right now. And she is drinking a slimming coffee "Lishou". I'll give her a box of this coffee. Hopefully she'll achieve the body she wants.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSUncR2aFphqg-IHxmwf65Md4PseAU6RE8iZFF3CFBr9XNugYM&usqp=CAc
@Ramramx . Oh this boy! He loves playing ML. He loves cooking. He loves playing table tennis. He loves working out. A lot of things that he wanted to do. But as what I've observed, what he really missed doing is playing table tennis. So here I am, will give him a set of table tennis equipment. Yay! Hope you like it.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-VkaJLoirYgrVEOv7BQLfJOcSR40-X9J7rg&usqp=CAU
@its_me_wil . This oldie! He is the oldest among the circle yet the baby face. I'm kinda envious. Wanna know the secret? He's been using this aloe vera gel every night for his skin care. Just that. Nothing more. So to keep his baby face, I'll send him a lot of aloe vera gel. Hope he'll like it. Be happy oldie.

@YaelMchilum . Our QA bestie! He's been inactive here and to all his social media last month and just the other day he updated on facebook. Yay! Well for this, I will send him a camping tent. He likes camping so much that in a week he go camping almost everyday. He do some trekking as well which really helps his cardio. Well that is a good thing to do anyway.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTW-WdtmL4B0ofx8NOfg4BIkJVzGFCuf8dSug&usqp=CAU
@Iamvirgo . Welcome here on ReadCash. She just joined yesterday and hopefully she'll like it here. Anyway, this girl is actually going through on something right now. I am not sure what will make her happy. But since my circle loves food, maybe a treat to samgyup will make her heart happy. Hopefully!
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtPt9bSoaJmob3573678O8kRwOhOiFCzgQIg&usqp=CAU
@Mommy. She's my sister. And since she has a baby already, I will be sending her diapers and milk for Liam. For sure, she will be happy with that gift. Mother's priority is the child after all.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQXb5Wu6TuMnv5Z9FowcZ4XnGafem62Fz71NA&usqp=CAU
And last but not the least, @dziefem . Not included in my circle but has a special place in my heart. Chour! Well, we talked yesterday and she talked about her laptop not working good anymore. So I am planning to send her a new laptop. It will help with her studies as well.

Another well spent day.

***Hello beautiful people!***
***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨***
Today's my rest day so please allow me to just share what I did yesterday after my last shift. It will be another *A day in my life*, that I usually write every time I really have no topic to write about.
After I rendered my last shift, I took a bath right away and prepared myself for to go out for a massage. My body has been craving it for weeks already and I am feeling bad that I am not granting what it craved for. So yes, yesterday I finally decided to have it.
This is actually the third spa I visited after I decided to get my massage and I can say this one is the best so far. Its 10/10 for me. The moment you enter this place, you'll smell right away the smell of oil and it will relax your body right away by just the smell of it. *Isn't it amazing? But wait, did I just typed smell three times? Sorry, I am out of words already. I only have limited English words. Lol!* Anyway I spent two hours at the spa and I really felt relax for real. The muscle pain I have on my back and my shoulder really wiped away and I slept right away when I get home.
After I got my sleep, our Mentorship Adviser personally delivered the token of appreciation for us being a mentor. We received a mentor sling and a mentor tumbler. *Look at that cute tokens.* I appreciate how it was delivered to us by sir Bryan himself. I just wasn't able to take a picture with him as he is running some errands as well that he needs to work on to. So I ended up taking a picture of it and send it to him as well for documentation that we received it already.
And since I haven't take any meal yet after the massage, I decided to eat some. I cooked *ginisang ampalaya* and ate some leftover shrimp and a milktea for the dessert. I was able to eat two cups of rice as I am hungry after sleeping. My tummy was very happy with my meal.
And before I ended my day yesterday, here's a screenshot of my cute niece Liam and me talking over the phone. *Look how cute he is!* I missed him so much. But good thing we have technology already as we can talk to someone even in long distance. I really love calling them in the province as Liam makes my day complete. Everytime we started a call, I always yomoshoke and he will copy me and I just love how he say it with his cute little voice. I even play with him even through the phone only. I love to hear how he laugh. I miss them all in the province.
And there I just ended my rest day feeling relaxed. If the last rest day I have, I did a general cleaning in the house and I was very tired, this rest day was different. I made sure to relax instead and I know I deserved it. Maybe, I'll be doing another general cleaning next rest day? Let's see. Lol!

That is one question per day and will end on December 25th.
I wasn't able to answer to the first two questions that was uploaded last December 1st and December 2nd so let me answer it here instead.
***Funniest Christmas Memory.*** I am not sure if it will be the funniest Christmas memory I have. But when we're still staying in Manila, in our place we have this old house not abandoned though as the children of the owner keeps on coming on that house at least once or twice a week. It was a a big bungalow house. Then since in our place, we only have a small neighborhood, we used to get out of the house together to watch fireworks when it is already 12:00 in the midnight. And you know what happened? At the rooftop of the house I mentioned, there were about eight person wearing white plain dresses with no head. They are actually dancing up there. You know instead of getting afraid of those, some of our neighbors get their big speakers and play loud music. And you know what happened next, the persons at the rooftop were dancing. I do not even know if they are real person or they are really ghost or whatever they are as the next day, it was just like nothing had happened that night. For me, it was still the funniest Christmas memory I have.
***Favorite Christmas memory as a child.*** I love living in the province, but I missed how we celebrated Christmas in Manila before. You know, we do not came from a well off family, we only have a small house before and we are just renting. The house is originally from my parents' godparents during their weddings. They did not treat us as renters, instead as family. During Christmas, they'll fetch us out from our home and bring to theirs. We will celebrate Christmas together. What I love during Christmas is the cacao drink. They actually own a cacao trees. They have a lot in their area that during Christmas it is the first thing I'll look for. It really became my favourite memory.
