Choo Choo for April and Start-Up Ensaymada and Cannoli Yumminess! It's May 1st but before I tell you what happened today, let's go back to what happened on the last day of April instead. The husband and I thought we must visit Buwakan ni Alejandra early in the morning because we want to take photos of the flowers there but we woke up late so we ended up just staying in bed for the first few hours of the day. The husband cooked rice and I didn't know what to cook for viand…
Read in a Month: April 2022 Report Yow guys! It's amazing that April ended with a good impression. There were several achievements for that month but there are also some bad things that had happened. My April ended up well though especially here on readcash because I was able to write the most number of articles I had ever written in a month. I don't really feel tired writing, in fact, until today, I am still very energized to write, I was truly surprised that I wrote a…
Photogenic Banana Loaf, Shein, and Play Greetings readcash friends! I would like to share with you what happened a few days ago, I was scrolling through my photo gallery to upload some photos for my next article but it seemed like I have some which are still not posted here so here they are. The photos are dated the 29th of April. So that day, I received a notification from a neighbor who sells banana loaves that she was on the way to deliver the loaf. I had ordered this a…
What? Prevnar 13 Costs Php 4,500??? Hello friends! It's me again for an article about my baby's vaccination and I just want to share that this vaccine is just expensive but we have to give the best for Matti. I will tell you a tale about the experience. Matti's pediatrician in Bohol had made a note on his baby book that the next appointment will be for his Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was on April 1st. This was over a month ago and we were still in Oslob at that time. I…
Let Me Take You To The Hill We Used to Climb The dates on these photos show April 20, 2022, that's two weeks ago. I have not shared this so I am going to narrate what happened that afternoon. I have so many things to write and I am just making the best out of my time while the baby is sleeping right now. I had shared on noise that I feel like Matti is getting lighter, he is not fond of eating rice and I am a bit concerned but as per the commenters, that's quite normal for a…
Returning a Broken Oven, Jollibee Adoration, and Unplanned Baby Company Purchases We bought an oven toaster a few weeks ago in SM but two days after, I found that it has a broken tube. I just noticed it when I was toasting bread. Thankfully, it still has a seven days replacement so my husband and I decided to bring it back right away to SM. It was smooth though, the saleslady who assisted us was quick to accept the defective one and asked us to choose another same model or…
Saturday Service, Catching Up With Ate Dyreen and Policy Review Hello dear, read friends! I am here again for another day in my life. Back when we were still living in the city, we used to go to church every Saturday. Our church has a service in the afternoon on Saturdays, there's also one in the morning on Sundays and another one in the afternoon. Most of the time, we take the Saturdays but we also go to church on some Sundays. The preaching is the same on those days so we…
Guindulman, My Hometown! From Hills to the Sea Greetings my dear friends here on Readcash! I have been thinking of sharing with you more about my home town, just to feature it though so today, allow me to do that. I was born and raised in Guindulman, Bohol, Philippines. It is a fourth class town of Bohol with an approximate population of 32,400. There are 19 barangays in our town namely: Basdio Bato Bayong Biabas Bulawan Cabantian Canhaway Cansiwang Casbu Catungawan Sur…
Throwback to Benliw Dam | Rain and Sun Back in early 2021 when my baby was about to turn nine months old, I thought of visiting Benliw Dam and having his photoshoot opportunity there. It's an hour away from our house and my husband agreed with the idea so even if there was a sign of rain on the day of the trip, we still pushed it. Now comes the rain as we arrived at the location. It was not even a simple shower but was a huge downpour. It was around three in the afternoon…
Mother's Day Special: A Poem Hello everyone! Shoutout to all the mothers out there in the readcash platform! My heart goes out to every single one of you and I wish you are having a lovely day with your family. Today's a special day because the world celebrates and honors the mothers, those who had bore children out of this world or even those who have decided and committed themselves to become mothers in their own way. I applaud everyone, I salute all the sacrifices, all…
So Glad to Finally Find a Breastfeeding Station at SM Seaside I can't remember if I had shared before that I had a hard time finding a breastfeeding station in Ayala Center in Cebu a few months ago when we were visiting the said mall. In our constitution, public places are mandated to have a breastfeeding station but sad to say that not all malls or public areas have this. When we visited Ayala, I was confident that they have one but I was disappointed because when I…
Suffrage, Undervote, Priorities, and Inks Plus Birthday Celebration I hope most of us had exercised our right to suffrage. I want to share here how today went for me. We prepared to get to Oslob Elementary school right after having breakfast, that was almost eight but since we were waiting for the in-laws and I needed to also bring Matti with us since no one was going to stay in the house, it took us another hour to reach the site. By nine in the morning, there were so many…
No Woman Deserves This Toni Gonzaga has done it again, another interview that melted my heart and made me write this article. I am referring to the interview with Zeinab which she posted on her YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDjmpGm91Ac I have watched Zeinab Harake’s vlogs before, it was way before she met the father of her daughter. She was a bubbly girl and although I like her personality, I have stopped watching her videos for personal reasons. But I…
The Dinos Don't Look Scary to Me - Matti It was a surprise seeing dinosaurs on display in SM Seaside a few weeks ago. I was so excited for Matti. I guess moms feel that way always when something new is right in front of us and we can't contain it. We were on the third floor and since we have Matti's stroller so we won't have a hard time carrying him if he doesn't want to walk, we have to take the elevator instead. From the elevator, we saw the display and I was so giddy to…
Oslob's Bora Cube - It's More Than Just a Restaurant! I shared that by the end of March, my mother-in-law celebrated her birthday and since her son was about to travel for work a few days before her birthday, we all decided to celebrate it by eating out in a restaurant nearby. Here's the link: ****The Bora Cube of Oslob Cebu**** https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/the-bora-cube-of-oslob-cebu-473c7688 But in that article, I was only able to share the experience of dining at…
Panglao's Island Coffee Roasters and Common Crew Visit In February this year, I shared with you that my husband and I celebrated our seventh anniversary and we stayed at a ****Private Villa in Panglao Livingroom & Kitchen********.**** I even made an article ****Pineale's Bedroom and Bath + Pool Review********.**** https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/private-villa-in-panglao-livingroom-kitchen-9d4d583d…
Matti Enjoyed An Hour Play at Kidzoona A day ago, I shared about how **The Dinos Don't Look Scary to Me - Matti****.** This happened a few weeks ago and yes, I am already way behind on my blog topic list. I still have a lot to write but I am just taking it easy. https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/the-dinos-dont-look-scary-to-me-matti-e0482e2c Today, I'd like to share with you Matti's experience at Kidzoona. This play area is not new to me as a few years ago, I brought my…
CCLEX RFID Installation The new Cebu-Cordova Express Link had been inaugurated by President Rodrigo Duterte in the last week of April and then it opened just a few days after. My husband and I had been wanting to get to the bridge but before that, we still need to get the RFID installed on the car. It was actually very easy to do that and fast too! I'd like to share with you how that went. We decided to book the installation in Il Corso Lifemalls because the schedule in SM…
North Food Yard Experience at Il Corso! It's a great day today! I am thinking of food so allow me to share with you a food park that we visited a few weeks ago here in Cebu. It's quite new though and we also had dinner there. Let me know what you think of food parks in the comment below! Food parks are all over the Visayas if not the entire country. In Bohol and Cebu, a lot of towns and cities have them, it is not a new idea though but there's just something about it that…
He Pulled the Plug and Ran to Miniso All things mentioned in this article happened on the 25th of April, this was our first attempt in getting Matti vaccinated at Mactan Doctors Hospital. If you are asking why we opted to go there, well, there's a breastfeeding advocate doctor who had created this breastfeeding support group in Cebu City and I thought it would be good to pay her a visit and let her give Matti his Conj. Pneumonia vaccine booster. Things went really bad that…
Smooth Cafe Offers Huge Servings You Won't Regret Dining! Before April Fool's Day, my small family went on a road trip taking the route from Cebu City to Busay, we had a stopover at Charlie's Cup then to Balamban, down to Toledo, and then straight ahead to Barili. We pulled over for lunch at Barili Milk Station and then we continued our journey to Moalboal. Check out the other blogs related to this: ****Matti Plays Cars and Slides at Charlie's Cup****…
Did the congressman ask for Php 350,000? Oh thank goodness for prompts, I am trying to squeeze my brain so I could write something about our lives but I can’t seem to find the motivation to do it right now, perhaps I need sleep but I just need to create an article so I checked the long list of prompts that I had saved. I have at least ten. Today, I am going to run through the questions that @alicecalope posted on April 19th, that’s already a month ago. She had entitled it…
Overlooking Guindulman at Cabantian Hills Enjoying nature doesn't have to be expensive. I'd like to share with you a trip we did back in 2021 just around our town and we spent nothing, perhaps we spent gas but this was just a ten-minute drive from our house to the exact location. What's the most important thing here was that we were able to experience nature and appreciate the beauty of our very own town. That photo above was the view that welcomed us when we reached the top…
Should We Allow the Return of ROTC? So @Tiffa had just asked if our dear readers are in favor of the return of the ROTC and I am one of those who agree on this. My point is that in other countries, they mandate this as compulsory, these countries are mostly not third world countries and so why do we have to skip this? Anyway, I am not sure though why the ROTC was no longer mandatory in high school, perhaps there were cases of abuse and I know this can't be avoided but if…
From CCLEX, Africa, and JPark Island Resort! Ey guys, I am writing this in our room here on the 10th floor of Building A-B of JPark Island Resort and Waterparks in Mactan Cebu. Matti got really really tired from his long day today so hopefully, I could publish this before he gets up. I just want to share with you what happened today. I might have mentioned before that my husband's company has a summer outing and team-building activity on the 21st of May and on that day as…
The Tale of Free Meals at Shakey's A month ago, we had been eating a lot of carbohydrates and I blame it all on Shakey's, char! Nope, it is not Shakey's problem but my decision making but I have to make use of the vouchers. We had around 18 Shakey's vouchers that we have to dispose of, those vouchers were just hanging on our Giftaway account. If you are a Citibank credit card owner, you might also have received this monthly promotion from the said bank on vouchers for…
I'd Rather Have Chocolates, Pizza, Ketchup, Salt and Fries I wanted to share with you how my day went but I got really tired last night that I decided to just sleep plus my baby didn’t want me to face the computer at that time. So, as I woke up pretty early at two in the morning, I decided to just make a quick question and answer portion. Did I mention that I have a lot of prompt lists from other users which I took note of so when times like this happen, I have something to…

I bet most of us are able to relate to my options…
Bohol Bound Diaries Hey guys! It's quite amazing how we can move from one place to another in just a few minutes. I tried imagining how our ancestors were bounded to just stay in one place because modes of transportation were still limited. Today, we can go from one island to another in just an hour or less. We have many options, we can travel by boat, or by air. We can go take the public vehicles or bring our cars and drive. It's truly a blessing to live in this generation…
Mama and Family Photos It's been weeks since Mother's Day but I realized that I have not made a post about my mother, although I did post an article about my own motherhood experience, **Mother's Day Special: A Poem**. https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/mothers-day-special-a-poem-5ee2eedc So, today, let me flex my mother and share with you the photos I had taken to make sure we keep memories of her and the entire family. My mother is already in her senior years but she is…
Wishing for Batanes Every family has a hobby or activity that they enjoy together. I know for a fact that without these activities that all members love to do, there's no bonding that will happen so it is the sole responsibility of a parent to initiate this. In our case, since our child is still very young, he can't come up with his own ideas yet so we, so my husband and I initiated our love for traveling and exploring new places. It has been an activity that both my husband…
Devikins, Dummykins, Devikids, and Training to Adulthood The same person who had influenced me to join noisecash had again influenced me to get into another NFT game without him even knowing it. I am currently playing Devikins. As a context, this friend of mine had posted about Devikins a few months ago, I guess it was late last year, I got interested I downloaded it when it came live this year but didn't bother opening the app or whatever but a week ago, I decided to try…
Oslob's Le Bistrot Restaurant and Its Platters Before leaving Oslob, my sister-in-law decided we should have dinner together. We had planned to visit Ocean Park a few days ago but then there was an issue because our supposed driver became sick, we couldn't get any other person to drive the other car. So we have to postpone the date with the kids and instead do a dinner date with the family. Allow me to share with you our experience at Le Bistrot in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines.…
What Happened on Thursday? Babies End Up Crying Hi there my readcash friends! I just got home from our day tour in Panglao, if you remember my friend from Moalboal who got married last Saturday and we weren't able to attend the wedding, he and his wife were in Bohol for their honeymoon and to make up to them, we offered that we would tour them around Panglao. I will talk about it in the next article. But today, I checked my gallery and found some photos from Thursday and so…
Friday Birthday Sing Along The younger brother's age incremented on Friday, at first, we had no plans of preparing anything but by the middle of the day, I told him I'll buy him a cake so we decided to just prepare a few more dishes for dinner. And of course, if there's a birthday, there's sing along too! But first, we had to prepare whatever we needed to cook. My sister-in-law, my brother's wife, came with me to buy the necessary ingredients for the pancit, and vegetable…
Photographing Dumaguete's Rizal Boulevard A few weeks ago or maybe a month already, my little family of three ventured to get our passports renewed and also apply for a new passport for the little one. Since we were in Oslob, going to Dumaguete was the best and easiest way to get that done. We took advantage of this opportunity, got on a barge at 7:30 AM, reached Sibulan at 8:10 AM, and were at the Robinsons Mall before nine. We had no appointments because we have a baby…
