Today's Friday and yeah, it's Monggo Day! Many Filipino households traditionally cooked "ginisang" monggo (sauteed) or stewed monggo on a Friday. Why? Honestly, I just don't know it. So for my curiosity, I asked Mr. Google and there it is the answer. In the not-so-ancient times, Filipinos have a particular "palengke" or market day and that is on a Sunday. Why Sunday? Google didn't mention it but I assumed it may be because Sunday is a church day too, and so after service or…

I've been planning to plant flowers in pots and put them in our little veranda so that the flowers will get lots of sunshine. We're almost one year in this old family house already. Hopefully, when the pandemic will be over and face-to-face classes will start, we'll be moving to a new place where the kids will have a good school to study for senior high school. And so, 'flowers on pots' will just be appropriate so that it will be easier to bring them with us to our new…
Hi "Kumusta", my Noisey friends, Thanks, @ElyzzBerttErynn, my breakfast this morning has been possible! Tadaaa...! Here's a fried 'tuyo' (salted dried Herring fish) paired with fried rice and red tomatoes with minced onions on the side. And of course, my coffeelicious dark roasted Barako ☕. It was such a hearty, tasty meal, especially during the gloomy weather that we have now. They say 'tuyo' is a "poor man's food" because it's cheap and salty. I just bought this at the…
~The Healing Hands~ Time flies by so fast. It's already Thursday again, so time for the popular hashtag #throwbackthursday. And I might as well throwback these favorite pics of mine during my internship at the Dep't of Surgery last 2018 in one of the government hospitals here in Metro Manila. Thanks to Drs. @WannabeMD and @Tenj, I enjoyed reading their posts which made me nostalgic about my internship days. And so here I am reminiscing some of the memorable experiences that…
Happy Caturday everyone! It's Saturday, and time to celebrate this day with our feline family!This is also my first time to post here in this channel #IloveMyPet by @Juditka80 This is Graya, our cutie kitty. She's 4 months old in this pic, she's so playful and loved to soak in the sun. Unlike me who's not fond to be under the sun...😂 She loved to sleep and enjoyed snoozing under the warmth of a sunbeam. When we moved here a year ago, Graya moved too. She just emerged from…
Hi everyone, Gotta catch up for Sunday! And since it's selfie Sunday on the other universe, I might as well post here a selfie of mine last year and this year. 😊🙃 Well, with most people, the weekend is a 'free day' but, for me, it's just the other way around since my "weekend is all booked." 👓📚😃 My schedule for studying is on the weekends. Why? Since the kids don't have classes on Saturdays & Sundays, so it will be my turn to study… But yeah, that's the only time I have for…
I just forgot the exact date when I joined Noisecash last September… but anyway, "Happy first Noisecash monthsary" to me. It's already my one month on this platform. Cheers! Thank you, Noisecash, thank you, friends, for being a part of my journey here. I consider my joining this platform as profitable and beneficial aside from its being informational. These are some of the lists that I've gained and enjoyed from my one-month stay in Noisecash. • Using Noisecash is not…
~Late Lunch~ A while ago, I have to help my son do his school work in making a comic strip about the formation of Mount Everest for his Science class. We googled how to make a comic strip and watched video tutorials on YT. Whew, the responsibility of teachers to teach their students are now placed on the shoulders of parents. And guess which else? on Google and Youtube, haha! Kids now are smarter during this internet era. I didn't realize, it was already past noon. So I…
~Date With My Boys~ Time flies by swiftly. It's Thursday again, and time for throwback pics! I might as well throw back these pics of mine with my handsome teenagers. These photos were taken before the lockdown was declared in March 2020. The mall was just a few blocks away from our apartment. After class in the afternoon, the boys often come with me to do our grocery at the supermarket inside the mall. But before that, they wanted first a treat, either we eat first at Mc…
Good Mornin' Noisers, The sky is still gloomy on our part of the country. It's already 9:00 am but it looks like 6 am. I guess, there's again a low-pressure forming somewhere. Anyway, it's good the sky is giving us a sign, a forecast, it's just being honest as to what the weather is all about. But, it just pays a lot being honest, right? Why so? The price is great, it will bring rain and storms and then devastation. So be careful at being sincere... For me, there's no regret…
Just saw this Hibiscus aka Gumamela from a neighbor down our street I just put a caption. I learned by a user here from Sweden that dried Gumamela flowers are made into delicious tea in the Scandinavian countries. I told our neighbor about it and she just laughed at me. She couldn't believe it but said anyway to check it also on the internet and make research about it if what I was saying was true. I didn't already tell her about Noisecash though, as some problems are…
It's Saturday again! That means it's me and my books...📚👓 A while ago I've already started with a Chapter on Soft Tissue Tumors... I'm about to finish the whole book soon probably in about three days. Pathology is the longest subject to study, you've got to memorize the concept of each disease by heart. This is actually my 2nd reading... Our Patho professor back in review class advised us that we should have to master this subject. Why, because it covers all the other…
Yesterday, it's Caturday but I forgot to post... Anyway, for those who are cat lovers, every day is Caturday! So here I'm posting our adorable Graya. One thing that is amazing about Graya is her eyes. It's what I liked most about her. We can't determine the real color of her eyes, sometimes it's gray, some other times it's light green. She is photogenic especially with her eyes which displays different colors. Her eyes turn blue💙 and green 💚 when illuminated by the flash of…
Good evening Noisers in this part of the world and good morning on the other half. I just want to share these pictures of the Marikina River that I snapped exactly 2 years ago as they appear on Memories in my FB. This is a part of the Marikina River. The jogging and biking lanes are located along the river banks. During the morning, people go there mostly to jog and during the afternoon, we can often see the elderly who do their afternoon walks. Some families with little…
Good day Noise peeps! How are you all doing? During the Lockdown at the start of the pandemic last year, the roof deck of our apartment had become our sanctuary, our get away from the hustle and bustle of our internet-dominated apartment. Staying all day and night inside our small apartment engrossed with various online activities made us susceptible to stress and certain diseases. So as an escape we made a habit to go up to the roof deck every day to inhale fresh air and do…
Good evening beautiful people! Thanks to a fellow Noiser who has posted her splendid pic of the moon a while ago... I didn't know it's a full moon tonight, if not of her post. So I went by the window and took a glimpse of the moon which was already up high in the dark blue and cloudless night sky. I was carried away by its brilliance and beauty that the poetic side of me which has been in hibernation for a long time in the innermost core of my temporal lobes was just…
Hello fellow Noises! Sharing with you today these pics of a cumulonimbus cloud. These were taken last year on our apartment's roof deck on one of our afternoon musings. We were waiting for the sunset when on the northern part of the Metro there appeared a big lone cloud. At first, it looks like a white cottony ship floating in the sky. Afterward, after sunset, the color turned gray, and even from afar, we could see the rain started falling from it. Then lightning began…
Good morning Noisemates! I was so busy this Thursday but thankful that I was able to have a sneak peek on the platform every once in a while in between my chores, review readings, and the boys. My boys were silent today, unusual to the usual noisy ambiance of the house. I couldn't hear a guitar playing nor loud music from YT. So I went up to check as to what the stillness was all about. The youngest was fast asleep in slumberland and the eldest was busy on his cellphone.…
~Late Lunch~ This was a busy day again for me and the boys. They just had a lot of school works to cram for submission and I had to help them finish all their assignments. Since today is Friday, they requested their favorite fried chicken. It's good, I've already bought a fresh Magnolia chicken yesterday at the supermarket and marinated it with garlic powder, ground rosemary, paprika, and ground black pepper and put it in the ref overnight. They wanted the chicken to be…
Good day everyone, This is SM Marikina mall, which is considered the largest structure in the Marikina Valley. As you can see in the pics it is located along or beside the Marikina River. It is a part of the SM Supermalls owned by one of the richest men in the Philippines, Mr. Henry Sy. The mall is so big, having a 124 thousand square meter floor area. Imagine it is as big as 1/4 of Winnie-the-Pooh's fictional land, the 100-acre wood. It has 5 storeys, and the parking lots…
Yesterday here is Saturday! Since it is still Saturday in some parts of the globe, and since every day is cāturday, I just wanna catch up on a "Happy CĀTurday"! This is Grayà, our grayish kitty. She was once a little stray kitty. When we moved here in our old house, this little kitty just appeared from nowhere meowing and following us into the house. Since then she didn't go out and we took care of her. We didn't know yet the gender as it was still very small, perhaps about…
Good day, fellow Noises, How are you all doing today? I've been busy these past two days cramming for my review reading but realized, it's still pandemic right? So no need to rush things, just chill and do things smoothly. So here it is, as I went out a while ago for an errand from the kids' request to do some groceries, I was met by this astounding view of the sky. The sky today, here in our part of the world is sunny with Mr. Sun cheerfully sending out its radiance…
Good day, beautiful people! How's your day going? I finished my review readings last night at 3 am. Though my eyes were already tired, and my eyelids were already heavy and, droopy, my mind was still widely awake. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see words, giant letters at that, walking in front of me. So I had to shake off my head. Since sleep was very elusive as a unicorn, I decided to open my cellphone and take a peek at my Noisecash account. The first post I…
Good Morning from here fellow Noiserz! Just wanna share a video that I just watched on YouTube a while ago. Here is the link, https:/be/N8meCjVsJWI I was amazed to learn from this video about where coffee beans come from or have grown, that is either from a low altitude place like Indonesia or high up in the mountains of Ethiopia. So what? Because the energy or aroma that the coffee provides when you drink it has been ascribed onto the fuel that the coffee plant takes in…
" I promised myself that I won't post any pics anymore... but it looks like it will be broken... During early morning wee hours at the ER when your eyes started to droop groggily then jolted widely open because suddennly this… this view just appears in front of you!! Am I just hallucinating because of drowsiness? Omg, and they even became two! Is this real? Maam, Sir, do you also see what I see? Are you aware that there are two unseen next to you… Huhu!" These are exactly…
