Never Have I Ever: Valentine Edition Image Source https://images.app.goo.gl/xaDv4KDdE2Xtsnum6 **Never have I ever had a Valentine on February 14th** *Before I settled down, in my younger days, I am always loveless when Valentine's day comes. It's either they broke up with me or I broke up with them before Feb. 14. And I am not looking for relationship just for the sake of Valentine. So most of the time, I spent Valentine with my friends.* *Of course, it is different now that I have a long time partner.* **Never have I ever asked someone out** *I did, not just once but thrice, lol! So there's this one guy that I really like. His name is Dandy. He's a friend of a friend and he's 6 years older than me ( I don't know why I am so into older guys). I was only 18 at that time. I really liked him because he is so manly and not to mention he's 6 footer. He was also very kind and approachable, that's what I liked about him.* *I don't know what got into me but one night, while we were just chillin outside together with his friends, out of nowhere, I just asked him out on a date. His friends were so shocked and teased us but he declined, ouch, aguy,mesheket.* *He said that he has someone else that he liked. Di nemen mesyede mesheket mga besh, hehe. After that, moved on na agad ako kinabukasan, haha!* **Never have I ever broken up with someone** *I did, many times over,charoooot! feeling maganda lang, hahaha!* **Never have I ever broken up with someone, but then got back together with them** *I think I did it once coz I thought he will changed for good so I gave him a second chance but sadly it didn't turned out well.* **Never have I ever been in love with my best friend** *I did. If you happen to read my article about* *Ruel,* *then you'll know that I fell in love with my bestfriend. The feeling was mutual but his mother was one of the hindrances that is why we did not end up together.* https://read.cash/@Pachuchay/ruel-4b90cb15 **Never have I ever received a love note** *I did, in high school but if you'll ask me if my husband wrote me a letter, then my answer would be no. He is not that kind of guy. He's romantic but he has his style of showing it to me. I actually like it, because he is different from other guys I have dated before.* **Never have I ever daydreamed about someone I like** *I always do this, managinip ng gising, about my crushes, hahaha! But of course, that was before.* **Never have I ever cheated** *I did once and I feel ashamed of what I did.* **Never have I ever dated 2 or more persons at the same time** *This is related to the previous question. Yes I have dated 2 person at the same time,* *Allan and Jack**. I was young and foolish at that time but honestly, it was quite an experience. But I swore that I will not do it again.* https://read.cash/@Pachuchay/i-was-once-a-cheater-38a25aa5 Hello guys! Today was quite a busy day for me. I did some general cleaning. Here in our country, if we say general cleaning, it means that we turn our house upside down just to make it squeaky clean. It was a bit tiring but very fulfilling once done. Now that my husband is working already, I have to do everything again, although my daughter is always ready to help, I just don't want to disturb her especially if she has a class. And because of that, my brain is not functioning very well that's why the famous question "Never have I ever" saved my day again, lol! First, read it on @Usagi's article Never Have I: Love Month Edition. Please do visit her article by clicking the link provided. https://read.cash/@Usagi/never-have-i-love-month-edition-by-usagi-c0d11953 That would be all guys!

Just Another Manic Sunday Good day read-tizens! How was your day? Today is Sunday, family day for most of us while others still have work to do, meeting deadlines or clearing some space before Monday comes. As for me, well, I am a bit hyper today because yesterday was my husband's first salary. I am sure every wife can relate to what I felt, lol! But he didn't make much since he only worked for 3 days and his rate is 800 pesos a day or $16 and the total of it is 2,400 pesos. After paying some debts and giving his daughter 400 pesos, what's left was 1,400. And that's what our budget for today. We went to the market after we had our breakfast. I told him to drop me off in "New FUS", it is like a Department store but the prices are cheaper than the REAL department store. I went there to buy a few things for him, like a water bottle and lunch box. I also bought 2 collars for my cattos because the 2, Nana and Two outgrew their collar so I needed to replace them. After that, I went to where my husband was patiently waiting for me and gave him the things that I bought and went on to the meat section and bought our viand for today. After that, what was left in my wallet was 300 pesos or $6 and that won't be enough for tomorrow. So I have to use my bitcoin cash again until we can say that we are stable just relying on my husband's salary. In the meantime, I will help him with our expenses first because there are still bills that need to be settled like water bills and internet. So I think of a way to fulfill my 1 BCH goal. I created this wallet for that purpose. So what will I do is, I will save $3 or $4 in this wallet, on every conversion that I will make. In that way, I can achieve my 1 BCH goal before the year ends. I have a strong feeling that I can do it this time, hehe. **fingers crossed** And that would be all. Forgive me for this very short article of mine. I just want to give my brain a bit of relaxation before my brain cells would be totally depleted, lol! I hope you had a great Sunday too.

My Phone Saved Me! `Lead Image from Giphy App` Time to hustle again! But with this so-called cuddle weather, I am forcing myself to stretch my bones because all I wanted to do right now was to lay down in bed while listening to my playlist. Ahh, these 80s love songs can easily put me to sleep. It is very soothing to the ears. As I was listening to old music, I was also trying to clean up my phone gallery. But I ended up deleting none, hahaha! If only my phone can hold every photo that I take, that would be nice. Although I can back up my phone, I haven't tried it yet coz I am lazy to do it. I saw photos when we had our first trip together! With the word together, what I mean is me, my husband, and our daughter. Most of the time, it was only I and my daughter but last 2017, we had our first trip, together. We had planned it. I saved money from my online hustle and also from my husband's salary every week. My father will be having his vacation too, that year, so I told my husband that we should be there. We traveled by sea, it was called RORO(Roll-on, Roll-off). I paid 4,500 pesos for the ticket for 3 people. Then the day before our travel, we went to Banica, a place here in Capiz where different kinds of dried fish were being sold for a cheaper price. We bought 3,000 pesos worth of dried fish for pasalubong. I am so excited about that trip. We on boarded on December 27. We decided to spend Christmas in our house and went traveling the day after. This was taken in the ship or barge. We were relaxing at the snack bar. Look at how busy my husband was. He was trying to contact our friends(his friends are mine as well) because that was his first travel going back to Manila after more than a decade. `Oooops, sorry sa face, masilaw kasi, hahaha!` I think there was a band playing random songs at that time if my memory serves me right. And we just stayed there until the sun sets and head back to our bunk beds after we had dinner. Sadly we had separate bunk beds at that time. I just asked the guy who's next to me if he can exchanged bed with my daughter and luckily, he said yes. So my daughter and I slept side by side while my husband slept 3 bunk beds away from us. The first thing that we do when we arrived at Manila was went to my father's and then we traveled from Taytay to Cavite to spend the night in my brother in-laws house. Then, the next morning, we head back to Taytay Rizal again to fetch my 2 Titas who wanted to come with us in my mother's house in Bataan. We spend the night in my father's house then early in the morning, we traveled to Bataan. My husband borrowed his father's car that was in his brother's house at that time. We decided to travel early to avoid traffic congestion and also, my husband did not know the way and we solely relied on Waze app. We arrived in Bataan still dark, I think it was 5:30 in the morning. The dog was Gringo, my mother's big dog. Together with me in the photo were my 2 Titas(my father's sister), my nephew and my daughter. After we had picture taking, we ate our breakfast then went on around the farm looking for fruit bearing trees that can be harvested. That was the reason why my Tita tagged along to harvest fruits, hehe. And yes, they got what they went for, lol! Look how happy my Titas were. In the middle is my mother. Despite the fact that my mother and father are separated, my mom still has a good relationship with my father's siblings. They head back to Taytay the day after while we were left behind to spend New Year with mom. I also found this one. This was when I got stranded for 3 days heading back here in Capiz. This happened second quarter of 2018,I think. I went back to Manila alone, to process my father's SSS lump sum claim. And when it was time for me to go home, a typhoon was heading in our country but still I decided to travel, silly me. Look how haggard I looked, haha! It was my day 2 of being stranded. We were already in Mindoro in this photo and no ferries were allowed to travel so we had to spend the nigh in one of the stop over place. I think I was the only one in our bus that was traveling alone. Most of them were with companions so I feel I was an outcast. But I am fine with it. As long as I have my cellphone and wallet in my hand, I feel safe, haha! To be honest, I wasn't afraid. It felt like I am in an adventure trips, hehe. The next morning, ferries were allowed to travel, and so we went on even though waves were still huge. I arrived in Roxas City 12 midnight and my husband was already there waiting for me. `Actually, he was mad because he thought that I am just making an alibi and the truth was I had an affair with other guy. Jusko mga teh, stress na stress na ako sa byahe tapos stress pa ako sa kanya kakapaliwanag hahaha! Kaya sabi ko sa kanya na wag nya ako sunduin at madami naman tricycle sa terminal. Pero andun pa din sya para sunduin ako at may payakap yakap pa, charooooot, HAHAHA!` So that's it. I thought I cannot come up with a topic but thanks to my gallery, it saved me, hehe! By the way, I've tried Appics. I think most users in noise.cash were already there, Hi girls! I don't know how Appics works but I think just like both platforms, read and noise, you have to interact with other users too. I signed up there last week, thanks to @Momentswithmatti's article. So if you ever find time, just search for me. It's still Pachuchay. -- Date Published: February 5, 2022 All Photos are mine unless stated otherwise.

I am too sexy to be 40! Naughty Q's `Reminder!` `This article is not suitable for minors and lalo na hindi pwede sa mga single, char! Read at your own risk!` As I was reading articles this morning, I saw @Micontingsabit's article, a very naughty one. It was like Boy Abunda's fast talk wherein you'll answer the question without even thinking deeply or the first thing that would come to your mind will be your answer. Her version is kinda naughty and I love everything about her answer. I have been meaning to do a similar thing before but I was worried that I might break some law. But since she started it, I will now share my naughtiness, lol! This is also very timely because Valentine's day is fast approaching. https://read.cash/@Micontingsabit/fast-talk-naughty-qs-153a5238 So let's get naughty! **Loveless marriage or s3xless marriage** I can't say that I would go for loveless marriage because that would be so boring but marriage without s3x is boring too. So I don't know, can we add another option,like marriage with full of s3x? HAHAHA! **Committed to a relationship or friends with benefits?** I always love commitment so I would go for the first one BUT if ever I am single, friends with benefits is also fine with me. **Accidentally send nudes to a stranger or your parents** Never and not ever. Oh my gosh, that would be so humiliating. Baka itali ako sa langgaman ng Mama ko. That would totally haunt them forever. **Comfy clothes or sexy clothes to bed** Sexy clothes, just like Micontingsabit's answer, making my husband happy in bed is my goal, char! **Quickie or an all-night escapade** All-night escapade!🤣Walang thrill kapag quickie! **Top or bottom** Top! I love to be always in control**wink** **Flirty or funny** I can do both **Good morning text or good night text** both **Kissed goodbye or left to sleep** kissed goodbye, I find it more romantic. **Shower together or apart** Together! Ang sarap sa feeeeeels...........ng may tagahilod, hahaha! **Read 50 Shades of Grey or watch 50 Shades of Grey** Watch! Walang thrill kapag binabasa. Mas okay yun watch kasi may action, hahaha! **Lights on or off** Lights on because I want to see the merchandise🤣. **Kinky or romantic s3x** To be honest, I don't know what kinky s3x means until now, I googled it, lol! So my answer would be romantic sex but if given a chance, I would love to do the kinky,hahaha! talandi amp! **S3xt or Zoom s3x** I have done s3xt before but not zoom s3x. No for zoom s3x. **Vocal in bed or keeps it in** Vocal like I said, I want to be in cotrol. **Kiss in public or private** Private but if it's just a smack or peck on the lips, it's okay in public. **Jealous hardworking partner or lazy trusting partner** I think I can work with jealous hardworking partner that the lazy yet trusting. The thing that I hate the most in a guy is being lazy, like seriously, you have to work your ass off and not just waiting to be fed. **Sneeze every time you orga$m or orga$m every time you sneeze** 1st - blue balls 2nd - weird I don't know what blue balls means so I would go with weird, hahaha! **Happy five-year relationship or a one-night stand with your celebrity crush** Kung si Lee Minho naman ang ka one-night stand eh go for gold na ako, hahaha! **Do it every day of the week no matter what or just once a month** Every day! But because of my health, three times a week will do, hahaha! Just for the time being, I block my daughter and have no plans of unblocking her until this article would be covered by articles, hahaha! I challenge @Ruffa, @Lhes, @Usagi, and @OfficialGamboaLikeUs to do the fast talk! I am looking forward to reading Ruffa's answer, hahaha! -- Date Published: February 4, 2022 Gif as Lead Image is from Giphy App

.....and then we become 3. Just the other day, I had published my article And So Our Story Begins.. It is about how my relationship with my husband started. It was one of my most memorable days. All the kilig and love that we have felt and still feel right now is worth sharing. In this article, I will share my most memorable day as a mother. https://read.cash/@Pachuchay/and-so-our-story-begins-0c1af16f *I was 22 years old when I got pregnant. We(husband and I) were the happiest when we found out that I am pregnant because it took us 2 years before I conceived. My first trimester was a struggle. But with all the vomiting and nausea it was all worth it. My due was the 2nd week of January 2003, that's what my ob gyne told me. She told me to take a walk every now and then so that I won't be having a hard time giving birth. So I have been doing that right after Christmas. Our house was located 7 blocks away from my Tita's house. It was originally my grandma's and passed it on to her daughters when she died.* *Every morning, after my husband left for work, I walked from our house to my Tita's and stayed there until noon because we always played BINGO, haha! So that's how my routine was until the night of January 4, 2003. We were sleeping, my husband and I, when I felt a sudden pain in my belly. I ignored it at first but the pain continued. I told my husband about it and he said if it continue, he will bring me to the hospital. But after an hour, the pain disappeared, so I thought maybe it was not my time yet. But around 4 am, my belly started to contract again and this time it was more intense than last night so I woke my husband. He then called my Titas and stepmom to help me because he was so nervous and did not know what to do.* *They arrived at our house like they were half-awakened, haha! One of my Tita was still wearing her mask, hahaha! They were all so excited when they received that call. My daughter is their first granddaughter in their niece. And the first grand granddaughter of my Lola. So when they arrived, they keep on asking me about how I feel. I said that I feel pain but bearable. One of my Tita suggested that it is better if I'd stay in one of my Tita's house because it is near to the hospital. So I packed my things and we went there. That was January 5 and the pain was still consistent. Although I can still endure.* *Not until later that afternoon, that pain was already unbearable so my husband took me to my ob gyne and after checking me, she said that I will give birth on Wednesday. Like what the pakpak ng chicken, it was only Sunday and she said that I will give birth on Wednesday, that's 3 more days! Does it mean that I have to endure the pain for 3 more days? After that we went home then suddenly husband received a call from his boss that he was needed urgently. So he had no choice but to leave me in my Tita's care. That night, I barely made a decent sleep. The pain was more intense. My Tita was watching over me and said she would take me to the hospital but I said not yet. That we should wait for my husband to come back.* *Morning came and the pain was getting worst so my Tita told me to take a bath and be ready to be taken to the hospital. She also made me drink a mixture of milk and egg yolk. She said it would help me give birth. My husband called and said that he could not make it home because of the emergency that was happening in their office. So my stepmother takes me to the hospital instead.* *We arrived at 9 am and I gave birth to my beautiful daughter at 12:45 pm. All the pain, all those sleepless nights are all worth it when I heard my daughter's cry. Then the doctor show me my daughter and cried when I saw her face, " Kamukha ko." That's the first thing that I said. I was very nervous holding her in my arms when she was brought into my room. She's so tiny and I am afraid that I might break her bones when I'll hold her. But my stepmother was there to guide me. My mother was in Novaliches and was working that time. She visited me the next morning.* *Tears were running from my eyes when I finally hold her. My baby, my cute little baby. I could not believe that I can produce a cute little angel like my daughter. It was late afternoon when my husband came, I was breastfeeding my daughter at that time and I did not notice that he was already there. I just knew that he was there when he said, "Yan na ba anak natin"? I just nodded and cried again, hahaha! He hold his baby's little hand and kissed her on her forehead and then he also gave me a kiss.* `I wish that smart phones were already rampant at that time, so that I could take as much photos as I like. And I am poorita also and could not afford a camera.` Seeing her now, grew up into a young woman, I just wish that life won't be too harsh on her. That she can handle anything in life and if ever she stumbles, she will stand up more determined. So as long as I am here, I will guide her the best way that I could.

Better Days are Coming! I woke up early today. I set the alarm last night and it did its purpose. It's my husband's first day of work and so I am so excited to prepare his things. But when I went to the kitchen, my husband was already there, preparing his packed lunch. He told me to just go back to sleep but I told him that I would prepare his clothes instead. Then heavy rain poured. It is his first day of work and if this rain will continue pouring, he might not be able to report because the job site is a one-hour-long drive and he will use his motorcycle. While we're waiting for the rain to stop, he kept on telling me the things that I should not do. To not let myself get tired. I told him not to worry about me and just focused on his work. It was already 8 am when the rain finally stopped. Since his things were all packed, he immediately went for a drive, but of course, without kissing me goodbye, char! When he left, I faced the biggest battle of my daily life, LAUNDRIES!! But because I am so motivated to be productive today, I did it all in one go! (back pain later🤣) It was past nine in the morning when I decided to check my husband if he was already at the job site. I just asked him if he was already at work and he simply replied "Yup."But knowing him, replying to me in English, it means he is happy, hehe. After I received his reply, I went back to my laundry and finished it after an hour. I told my daughter that we will just have tuna in a can because I am so tired of doing the laundry. Then moments later, I received a text from my husband again. He asked if we had lunch already and also said that he got free viand for lunch because he knew most of the workers in the site. And he said that his boss Engineer Che called and told him to take over the electrical works. I feel relieved that he got free lunch. Honestly, all he had in his pocket is 150 pesos😅 for all of his expenses today and gasoline for his motorcycle. But knowing my husband, he's like BDO, he finds ways, hahaha! Jeez, after 1 year of being unemployed, I can finally be relaxed for a bit. Like to at least have a one-day break in writing an article. I mean I can still do it but at least without pressure on my part. Like if I don't have any topic to write about, I don't need to squeeze my brain hard, forced myself to write because I have to earn for tomorrow's expenses and medicines. I am not complaining, it's just that I get tired sometimes. So now that my husband can bring money into our home, it means better days are coming. *(fingers crossed!)* Okay, so that's it for now. I need to withdraw this amount for tomorrow's expenses. My husband will have his salary on Saturday so I have to cover our expenses until then. -- Date Published: February 2, 2022 Gif from GIPHY App

And So Our Story Begins.. The first day of the month, yay! And I must say that our month started very well, you know why? It's because my husband got a call from his boss right after we came back home from the market, about his new job. And then after 20 minutes, he was fetched by his boss' nephew to report in their office. So the husband went there and when he came back, he said that he can start tomorrow!! Isn't that great! You can't imagine how happy I am right now. Like my heart was thumping while I am typing this and my smile was from ear to ear! Finally, after 1 year of being unemployed, he has now a permanent job that could sustain our needs and that means I can save my bch! My best day ever, since 2022 started. It was like an answered prayer. I can see that my husband was happy too. He immediately cleaned his helmet because he will be needing it tomorrow. The job site was outside the city and if needed, he will be a stay-in worker. It will be a long 1-hour travel and he would be so tired if he would go home every day. Okay, so that's it. I have no plan of including this in my article but I am so happy that I want to share this happiness with all of you. The other day, I was being mentioned in one of @Lhes articles titled Almost. It was about her most memorable day and I was surprised with everything that was written there. Like seriously, with all those sexiness, I never thought that she had gone through all of that. https://read.cash/@Lhes/almost-8743e509 And now, it is time for me to share the most memorable day of my life.... -- *I was only 19 when I met him and he was 24. He was my neighbor's friend. At first, I really don't like him. He looks arrogant, he was loud and he had this annoying smirk every time he looks at me. Then one day, my neighbor introduced me to him, his name is Cris. That is when it all started. The more often we talk, the more I got to know him, the real him. He is kind, straightforward, speaks what is on his mind and he is very generous.* *I know the fact that he had a girlfriend at that time so I am contented to be a friend of his. And then I realized I had a crush on him. Every day I was hoping that he will go to my neighbor's house so that I can see him. Months had passed, I notice that he rarely visit my neighbor. And I learned that he broke up with his girlfriend. I was happy and at the same time sad for him. But for me, it was my chance, lol!* *After a week, he again went to my neighbor's house. We got a chance to talk about anything under the sun. It was like that, every day. Almost every night he was at his friend's house so we always had a chance to talk.* *And this moment came when my neighbor turned his radio on and the song "Every time" by A1 began to play. He told me if I'd like to dance. I was like, OMG! I feel like there's a butterfly in my stomach, hahaha! At that moment, I feel like heaven. I can hear his heartbeat. And I knew that he can feel me trembling, hahaha! 'Gosh, I love him! And at that very moment, I told him that I love him. He suddenly stopped dancing, looked at me, and said, why? I was out of words, I don't know what to say. So I guess because of the embarrassment of what I did, I ran home.* *Weeks had passed, he never went to my friend's house. My friend asked me what happen that night and I told her everything. I was so heartbroken. I feel like a loser. I am so embarrassed about what I did. I should have never confessed my feelings and been contented with being his friend.* *Then one night, my tita told me that I have a visitor, and it was him! OMG! I was so nervous, I feel like my soul is leaving my body because of the emotions that is rumbling inside me, hahaha!* *And then we talked, he asked for an apology for not showing up for so long. He told me, he had to make sure that he love me because he does not want me to get hurt. All I could say at that time was, WHAT?? What are you talking about? I was so nervous that his words would not sink in. And then he hold my hand and said, 'I love you, do you still love me? I just nodded and cried, hahaha! I really cried a lot that time, and then he hugged me and kissed me, just on my cheek( pero nagpoprotesta ang labi ko that time, hahaha!). I am so happy that day. I feel like I am the luckiest woman on the planet, lol!* *Now we have been together for 21 years and were blessed with one daughter. It was never been easy. There was a time that we almost separate our ways. There are ups and downs but we overcome all of them because we knew that without each other, life would be meaningless.* `I have also shared this story in my first account before and they all giggled and love it.` -- Date Published: February 01, 2022 All photos are mine unless stated otherwise.

$273.76 for the month of January Last day of January, seriously? It felt like just yesterday, we celebrated the New year and now we are about to say goodbye to January and hello to February, the love month. Are you all ready to see how well did you do on this platform for the whole month? This has been a tradition since I joined here in read.cash. To write an article about your progress for the whole month. Although I have seen fewer articles regarding this. Anyways, this also serves as my motivation to do better every time I see my progress and I am so proud to say that I did well, yay! -- **One article a day** I had no idea how I manage to write an article everyday, and that's 30 articles in a month. Like seriously, I am not one of those writers who has always have an idea or topic to write. So I am quite surprise, you did good self. Let me tell you a secret to that. Writing prompts and the famous Random word/phrase generator has been a big help to having zero article in a day, hehe. And reading has been a great factor too. Just by reading every article in your subscription can somehow help you think on what to write. **Sponsors** Let's say hi to my lovely sponsors especially to the newly added one @itsmeCguro! I couldn't thank you enough for all the support you have given me! I love you guys! **And now for the main event, my earnings for the month of January!** For the whole month of January, I get to earn $204.4 which is equivalent to 10,220 pesos in our fiat. My most paid article was I love her because... with $14.07 and the least paid was A Story that Rambles with $1.64. I am so glad to be able to earn this amount just by writing an article on this platform. https://read.cash/@Pachuchay/i-love-her-because-d0ec0161 https://read.cash/@Pachuchay/a-story-that-rambles-7920bd00 Now, let's go to my noise.cash account. Let's see how much did I earn. I earned a total of $69.36 or 3, 468 pesos in noise.cash for the month of January. Honestly, this amount is quite small compared to those months where I get to earn $10 to $20 a day in noise.cash. There was also a time that I earned $30 in one day for 3 days and that is when the tipping system of noise.cash was quite high(❤ tipping system). I think that was around November and December. And those were the "golden days" of noise.cash. Anyways, the total earnings that I got from both platforms are 13,688 pesos, or $273.76. And that is already huge money for a stay-at-home-mom like me. Both platforms have provided food on our table and sustained my medicines. And I am very much happy that I have found these platforms because, without them, I don't know if we would be able to survive throughout the pandemic. By the way, I just realized that with the current price of bitcoin cash, I almost had 1 bch if only I hold them. So I really hope that both platforms would last for eternity, hehe... -- **Date Published: January 31, 2022** **All photos are mine unless stated otherwise**

It Saved Me How were your Sunday guys? How did you spend it? With family or friends? If you are to ask me, I just take it as a normal day. Nothing out of the ordinary, same old same old. Oh wait, I did one thing that makes my ordinary day meaningful though, I cooked my family's favorite which is Menudo. And of course, as expected, they loved it! It might not look or taste good in the photo because of the low quality but I can assure you that it does taste good. Okay, let's go down to what really this article is all about. I have read @Jeaneth's article yesterday. Random questions that she got from the famous "**The Random Generator**" websites. Just ask Uncle Google and he will lead you the way. It does become famous nowadays, have you noticed it too? It means everybody is experiencing writer's block, hehe. I will not look for questions in there because I love to share my thoughts in questions that Jeaneth picked for herself on the site. You can check her article and you can also share your thoughts on the question you'll find there. https://read.cash/@Jeaneth/got-nothing-to-write-here-are-random-questions-to-answer-59c6a6f3 If you could have the attention of the world for one minute, one would you say? **Do not hesitate to help.** With the current situation of the whole world right now, we can do our part by helping people. Starting with the people around you, your families, friends, and even your Marites neighbor, lol! It does not have to be grand or magnificent. It does not have to be material things or money. Just being with them on their worst day is enough to change their perspective in life. And believe me, it will change their life one way or another. **Be Kind**. A little act of kindness can change someone's life. So please, be kind to everybody. Do you name inanimate objects? Yup, I find it fun and weird but still doing it. We have a minivan before and we call it Phil because it is from the company of Philtruck,hahaha! I named my bags according to their color and brand. I have a bag named chippy because I bought it for 50 pesos only. This is our Phil. We bought it second-hand and it did not last. We had Phil for 3 years only. That's the thing about buying a second-hand, it does not last or needs maintenance and it is costly so better go for a brand new. How would you spend $1,000 to give the most happiness to the most number of people possible? Unlike Jeaneth's answer, mine will be personal. If I have 51,000 pesos in my wallet, I guess I will spend it in our clan, the Abellon clan. We will have a grand vacation in Palawan! That's where my mom wanted to go. It will be a vacation that we will never forget in our life. Just to give you an idea of how big our family is, My grandma has 9 children. Each one of them had a maximum of 5 kids and a minimum of 3. And most of the grandchildren had a family. Now, you do the math. If you knew you could live forever, how would you spend your days differently? Honestly speaking, I don't know how to answer this question. Because, unlike Jeaneth's answer, traveling the world, doing the things that I haven't done, explore new things in life are the things that I wanted to do if my days are numbered. I don't know, nothing comes to my mind when I read this question. I think I'll have to find out when I had that immortality. What's the most uncomfortable situation you've ever found yourself in? Meeting my mother-in-law for the first time is the most uncomfortable situation for me. I know beforehand that she does not like me but because I love her son that much, I gather some courage to finally meet her. The moment I enter their house, she looked at me from head to toe. And did not respond when I said hello and introduce myself. Then he talked to my husband in private but still, I can hear them. She obviously wants me to hear everything. *" Bakit ang pangit naman nyan, ang itim. Ano nagustuhan mo dyan? (What do you like about her, she's ugly.)* The moment I heard that I feel so little of myself. I want to go home but refrain from doing so because that would be disrespectful on her part. I just told myself that, no pain no gain. You have to endure because she's the mother of your man. And I am glad that I did because eventually, she has learned to like me. And it's a wrap! Thank you all guys for reading! Date Published: January 30, 2022

It's 4 pm and yet I haven't written my article. I am blaming the Korean drama that I've been watching since last night. It is so good that I can't get enough of it. I kept telling myself that this would be the last episode and I will sleep. But that "last episode" becomes a never ending episode, lol! I will recommend it to all of you guys. It is a zombie movie titled "All of us are dead." You will surely love it the same as I did. I love the story and the characters. https://branch.wallet.bitcoin.com/nt8vMcqWcnb I just noticed that since the pandemic started, zombie movies are trending, does it mean something? char! I also realized something while watching it, that it is so important that I should be fit, like totally fit so that I can run faster, hahaha! It is hard to run faster when you are fat, right? Photo Source https://images.app.goo.gl/YfDMfoFPMpZSCymn6 I think you will have a lesser chance of survival, lol! What do you think guys? It does make sense, right? So one thing leads to another, being healthy can help you survive in any given situation. May it be a zombie apocalypse or a disease outbreak, you have a bigger chance of survival when you are in good health. Speaking of health, I think my condition is getting worst. It has been two days that I cannot eat properly even though I am taking my medicines on time. Yesterday, when my sister called, I suddenly struggled with speaking. It was as if I am mumbling every word that I uttered. I was scolded by her then. She was like my mother every time she do that. She told me to consult my doctor again before things go out of hand. Ant that is what I am planning to do. I will go to my doctor on Monday if there are no changes in my condition. Although right now, I am feeling good, can speak, and eat well. I guess that's how Myasthenia is, "pasumpong sumpong." Moving on with my next story, it is about what I had dreamt the other night. I am still mad every time it would come across into my mind, lol! So my dream goes like this, I was cleaning our house when someone knocked on our door. When I opened it, I saw my daughter's classmate, carrying a bouquet and chocolate. So I was like, 'Who are you?" He said that he is my daughter's B-O-Y-F-R-I-E-N-D! I was like Whaaaaaaat?!! Just imagine my reaction though, hahaha! I was so shocked like shocked as hell, lol! Then my daughter appeared and said, "Hi Babe" which added more shock to me, lol! That's the time that I woke up and I went straight to my daughter's room and asked her if she has a boyfriend that she was hiding. She got so annoyed because I woke her up to asked something like that, lol! As you all know, she's my Unica Hija. So as much as possible, I don't want her to have a boyfriend yet. I want her to finish her study first before engaging in a relationship. But I know that things like that are inevitable, and been there done that too. But I think not now, not just yet. And I know my daughter well, she cannot hide anything from me because I am her mom. I think this is one of the dilemmas of being a mother, seeing our child in a relationship. Oh my gosh, I think that I would get so emotional when my daughter gets married, lol! Anyway, I know that I can trust her and she would not get involved with a guy without telling me about it. -- If you have read 'til the end, congrats for I have something for you.

I Can't Say Goodbye To You.... It was a fine day. I am having a me-time at the park while enjoying a cup of Cappuccino. I was startled when you approached me, asking what time it is. I can see that you were just trying to hit on me because it was so obvious. You were wearing a wristwatch and asking me the time? I tried to ignore you, pretending not to hear. But you were so persistent. So I gave in and told you the time. I thought that was it, that you will leave me alone, but you asked for my name. I looked at you from head to toe. You were not that bad and so I reached my hand to you, "Chelsea, you?" And you said you are Joey. You sat beside me and started the conversation. I was hesitant at first but as the conversation went on, I discovered that you are a very interesting person and fun to be with. The conversation went on for hours, and before we went home, you asked for my number. You said you'd call. Days had passed, not a single call from you. But I just told myself, you are no different from any other men that I met before. Then unexpectedly, I got a call from you Sunday morning asking how I am. You said that you were so busy and did not have the chance to keep in touch. I said it was okay because I was busy too. You asked me out for dinner and I said yes. We dined at a very classy restaurant, I know that you want to impress me and you did. The food was great and so are you. You never fail to make me laugh. You made the whole dinner so memorable for me and I know that instance, I am falling for you. That night ended with a kiss. That date was followed by another date and another. Our relationship grew deeper and deeper that it is so hard for me to let go. You said you love me and I love you too. We started planning for our future. And you made me the happiest... Then one day, you never called which is so unusual. But I told myself that you might just be so busy. Days become weeks, yet still got no call from you. You did not even bother to reply to my messages. So I decided to go to your place and I was surprised. I saw you hugging a pregnant woman while holding a cute little girl on the other hand. I was in denial...This is not true...This is not happening.... I tried to confront you at that very moment but I refrain from doing so. I don't want you to be in trouble. See, I love you that much that even though you made a fool out of me, I am still thinking of your welfare. And then you saw me, you were shocked seeing me from afar. And so I went home in tears, brokenhearted... That night, you went to my house. You apologized for everything. That it wasn't your intention to fool me. That as days passed by, you fell for me and it was so hard for you to let go. But now that I knew everything, you said to end things. That I should stop loving you. How dare you say that! It is as if I am nothing to you. I love you, gave you everything and yet you turned me into a fool! And yet you are right, I should not waste my time on a jerk like you!....But... But... I love you, I still love you. I just can't let you go, I can't tell you goodbye. Not now, not ever. I love you so much that it hurts... Source https://images.app.goo.gl/KYxrQ61VRBdYd4ro8 -- Oh my gosh, what am I thinking, Hahaha! Sorry for this kind of writings from me. I just got carried away with the song that I was listening to a while ago. I hope it did not make you cringe, lol! The title of the song is ***I can't say goodbye to you*** by Helen Reddy. It is a classic love song, you should give it a try. Thanks for reading!! -- Date of Published: January 28, 2022 GIF as Lead Image from Giphy app

@foryou@btc09 thank you dear for your sponsorship. I appreciate the support everytime.

@Pachuchay 27 January 2022

It's All About READ and Me Another "can't think of a topic" day for me. I guess it is normal for you to run out of topic especially when you have been writing for a year, isn't it? Anyways, I know that I am not the only one who had the same conundrum every day. But thanks to my dear friend @Lhes for sharing a link that saves me from having zero articles for today, hehe. So she gave me a link to @Amjad_Ali_Waince 's article entitled 10 Q/A about read.cash (My Experience) which is basically about his experiences in read.cash. So I would take the challenge and answer the 10 questions he had provided. So without further adieu, let's begin... https://read.cash/@Amjad_Ali_Waince/10-qa-about-readcash-my-experience-5198702f -- **Q1. What do you know about read.cash?** I had no idea what read.cash is about before. The person who invited me here told me that I can earn points just by reading and commenting on articles on the said platform. But when I jumped in, signed up, and earned a little amount, I was inspired to write too. So for me, read.cash is a blogging platform mostly for promoting cryptocurrency specifically bitcoin cash. But you can also write anything under the sun. Your experiences, struggles, achievements in life. I prefer writing those because I have little knowledge about bitcoin cash or any other cryptocurrencies in the crypto-verse. **Q2. What thing do you like most in read.cash?** Everything! I mean this is the first blogging website that I signed up for and paid me D-O-L-L-A-R-S **ka-ching!* But what I like about it the most is the friendship that was formed by every user around the world. I have met people on this platform that help me get through the worst day of my life. **Q3. What thing you don't like about read.cash?** I think the only thing that I don't like is that you will be marked as spam without a reason. Just like me, this is my fifth account already because my first 4 accounts were being marked as spam. It would be best if they would at least notify us about why we were marked as spam, right? **Q4. What did you find in read.cash?** Friendship... I found friends that I thought I would never find on the internet. They helped me in my whole journey here in read.cash. They have been so supportive and always encouraged me not to stop writing. I will not mention their names here because I don't want to be a nuisance to them, but you know who you are guys. Thank you so much! **Q5. Who is the best read.cash user for you?** This is hard to answer because there are so many writers here that are exceptionally talented. But when it comes to crypto write-ups, I would say @Eybyoung, @Jane, @bmjc98. When it comes to a user that has a very wide imagination and sense of humor, that would be @Ruffa. Life lessons would be @Jeaneth and @Bloghound. Photography would be @ARTicLEE and @Momentswithmatti and also Bloghound. But these users can write almost anything. Throw them a topic and they can make wonders. Specifically @Ruffa, she can even make a topic about "utot" or fart, HAHAHA! That's it, sorry guys for mentioning you all here. **Q6. Your best memory on read.cash** The first time that random rewarder visited my article, that for me is the best memory. I mean, it felt like I am a true writer because my work got paid, lol! **Q7. Where did you spend your first earning from read.cash?** I think I used it for my load since I only earn a small amount that time. The biggest earning that I had before was $2 and it took me 3 articles to earn it. Q8. **What best lesson did you gain from your mistake on read.cash?** To be always original. Be yourself, you don't need to copy or be someone else you're not just to be noticed. We all have our charisma and it is up to you how to use it so that other people will notice you, same goes with writing. We all have our own style delivering what we want to convey to our readers. Being true to yourself is the best lesson I've learned. Q9. **What did you learn from read.cash?** Before entering read.cash. I have no idea that I can write a whole article. For me, the word "blogging" is for the best writers only, the high profiled artist. I never thought that I could do it. Read.cash helped me discover more about myself. I learned that I can make people laugh by sharing my experiences in life. Q10. **How did read.cash brings positivity to your life?** It opened me to different opportunities to learn and be productive in the crypto-verse which I did not learn in other social media apps such as Facebook. And the best thing about here is that no one will judge you or despise you for who you are. No one will drag you down. This is a bch community that helps everybody to grow and that alone is a very positive thing that anyone can have in a blogging site. -- That's it guys, you can also answer the same questions by clicking the link provided above. But wait, before this article ends, I want to say thank you to @Jane for renewing your sponsorship. Thank you, Jane! God bless!

My what if and whatnot The current time of writing is 3:15 pm. Gosh, I am so sleepy, like my eyes are closing on their own but my mind says, No, you can't sleep yet.. Later.. Lol! I have to publish an article before taking a quick nap. I asked my daughter to make me a cup of coffee but she started lecturing me like, *"There you go again Mama, and later you will keep on complaining about having palpitation and you can't breathe. Enough with the coffee already."* Then I told her, *"You're just lazy to make me one"* and she smiled at me. Jeez, she thinks that she could get away with it, lol! Anyway, have you noticed our payout in noise.cash were stacked up? I think most users experienced it since this morning. I wonder what was going on. Perhaps, noise.cash is brewing something like a new update. Whatever it is, I hope it will bring back the good old days in noise.cash, hehe... Last night, I watched videos on youtube about the Pegaxy. I have to learn the basics, at least. Here's what I have learned, the breed of the horses which are Zan, Klin, Campona, and Hoz. The latter is the rarest and had a big chance of winning in the race. I hope I can have a rare breed once my scholarship started. I can't wait to race,excooiiited! Lol! I have one concern though, I don't have a Binance account. And from what I have read in MJ's article, a verified Binance account is needed in converting VIS into Peso. I tried to make an account before but I failed to pass the KYC. I think the Id that I used is not qualified. So the question is, can I use my friend's Binance account for the said purpose? I hope someone could help me. Okay, enough with the chitchat and let's move on to what I really want to write today. It is about the UTXO Effect or the Unspent Transaction Output. You can understand more of it from Eybyoung's article. So upon checking my transaction history, here's what I found, https://read.cash/@Eybyoung/understanding-utxo-unspent-transaction-output-in-laymans-term-3059fdd0 According to my transaction history, I already had 13 BCH in my wallet, like whaaaaaat! Oh my, I wish it was true, lol! If I will convert it into our fiat, that would be 377, 951.50 pesos. And that's a lot of money already. So what would I do if I have that really? **Go for a CT Scan** As you all know, I have a Myasthenia gravis and one of the concerning things about this disease is my Thymus gland. Most of the patients developed a tumor on their Thymus gland that needs to be removed. So my doctor told me that I should at least undergo a CT Scan at least twice to thrice a year to monitor if there is a tumor. Ct Scan is quite costly so, if only I have that amount, I would go for it right away. **Start my Sari-sari Store Business** I would convert our front yard into a small mini grocery. I have been meaning to do this but our budget could not afford it yet. So it would really be nice if I have that money in my wallet. I would sell not just groceries but also meat, vegetables, frozen goods. Me having a business, while my husband is working and I am also grinding. Wow, that's so comforting to just even think about it. **Send money to my mother and sister** Of course, I would share the happiness with my family especially with my mom. It is the best feeling of being a daughter, to give something to my mother. She always wanted to have a vacation in Palawan. I used to tell her before that if I win in a lottery, I will send her to Palawan for a grand vacay, hehe... I will also give her money o put up a small business. She wanted to raise pigs and sell them later. I will also help my sister financially. She has many debts that need to settle down which is why she is so eager to work abroad but this pandemic caused the delay of her departure. She was supposed to be working in Hongkong last year but her employer canceled her contract because of the lockdowns implemented in both countries. and giving her money to pay those debts is a great help for her. **Invest in Crypto** Of course, this should not be left out. I will invest a thousand dollars in bitcoin cash and just wait for its mooning. If only I really had that money in my wallet, all my problems will fade away, lol! -- Date Published: January 26, 2022 Lead image from Giphy app

Pegaxy, here I come! I started my morning by cleaning up the house. I was planning to have my dose of vitamin D but the weather is a bit gloomy with a light rain shower. I was so tempted to check my phone for an update about the price of bch and to check my noise.cash and read.cash account but I opted out because I know, once I started checking it, I cannot accomplish anything regarding the house chores. It took me 30 minutes to finish all of it. Then I had breakfast and finally turn on our wifi router. ( We turn off our router at night because my daughter will surely stay up all night if it is turned on). The first thing that I checked was my noise.cash account. Read and left some comments then I saw Jane's comment, telling me to check her dm on telegram. Upon checking it, I also saw Mj's dm regarding the Pegaxy scholarship. They instructed me to join the discord channel of Pegaxy and submit my application form. At first, I was skeptical, like can I do it? Can I cope with those who are much younger than me? But when you are "gipit" you will do anything as long as it is legal, hehe, so I went in, submit my application form. I will not waste an opportunity such as this. `This is the application letter that I submitted in their discord channel, hehe...` After submitting it, I chitchatted with other scholars and soon-to-be scholars in the general chat. I love to see familiar names in there. I think most of the members of Club1BCH are already part of the guild even before I joined in. Then later this afternoon, after waking up from my quick nap, I checked the discord channel and saw that the coach already released the names of the members who are on the waiting list and waiting to be scholars and I am so happy to tell you that I am one of them!! Omooooo! See my name in the middle? Hahaha! I am so sorry, I just can't contain my happiness right now. I am also glad that my friends were on the list. @Eybyoung, @Yen, and @imanagrcltrst. Cheers to us ladies! Now, all I have to do is to learn more about Pegaxy because honestly, I have no idea about it. And also, I already set Polygon network in Metamask with the help of Jane and Mj's article. I did not get it at first so even though I know that Jane is busy, I still asked her about it and I am so thankful that despite of her busyness, she still manage to assist me. Thank you Jane! I am so excited! This is my first P2E game and I hope I can do it right, hehe. I am so thankful to everyone who helped me get in, thank you ladies, Jane and Mj. This is a great help for me and my family. I hope this will be a stepping stone for more opportunities in the future. Thank you! -- Date Published: January 25, 2022 All photos are mine unless stated otherwise.

Happy birthday Mader Earth! A cold Monday late afternoon read-tizens. I am sipping a steamy hot coffee while I am writing this one. Coffee is not good for my health but I can't resist having one. You know the saying "masarap ang bawal. " What you resist, persists. Anyway, it's my mom's birthday today. I totally forgot it, bad daughter. I did not forget that her birthday is on the 24th, but me having a mom's brain again thought that it was only the 23rd today. Good thing, my husband reminded me this morning so I immediately phoned her. She sounded so happy when she answered my call. Of course, who wouldn't be happy when her prettiest daughter called early in the morning and wished her a happy birthday? Hehe.. She said that she was happy because she turned 62 in good health. She even mentioned earlier that she's healthier than my father because he died at the age of 57. I felt bad though because I wasn't able to give her something for her birthday but she said she understands, what's important for her is that my medicines are sufficient enough. My sister cooked pancit. They also cooked native chicken for their lunch and dinner. They have lots of native chickens on the farm but she isn't used to eating them. It is hard living far from your family. You will always miss important occasions like birthdays, reunions, and such. The last time that I am present on my mom's birthday was.....oh my, I can't even remember because it was ages ago! I wish I could be there this very minute and spend time with them even for just a short period. So just now, my chat head popped up because my sister send me this photo. It broke my heart to see that my mom had little food for her birthday. You know that feeling, that you could have given her money for her birthday but you are not yet capable of doing. It is so frustrating, damn! I feel sad... Bawi na lang me next year mader! And I can't help but feel annoyed with my youngest sister. She is the ablest of the three of us but she did not even bother to call our mother. Not even greeting her on her birthday. I don't know what got into her. She was not like that before. It feels like she distances herself from us, even from her mom. To be honest, she did not even bother to call when I am in bad shape, not a single "How are you te Ne?" And I am fine with that, I am not expecting anything from her either. Okay, I'll end it here na. I feel my blood is boiling already. Sorry about this. This was supposed to be happy because it is about my mother's birthday but when I asked my sister if our youngest called, she said no. And that is when I started to feel annoyed. Will you wish my mom a happy birthday?😄 -- Date Published: January 24, 2022

Hard Pill to Swallow "Shit happens." Have you watched the movie "Forrest Gump?" It is one of the best movies of Tom Hanks. In the said movie, someone asked for his advice while he was running and this phrase just came out because he stepped on poop, shit, or dang, whatever you want to call it. Apparently, that man succeeded in his business with that phrase, "Shit Happens." Shit happens, shit happens in life. No matter how hard we try, there are always a time where we are put to the test. No matter how hard we try, there will always a time that we are put in a situation that is so hard to digest, so hard to accept. It has been 3 months that I was diagnosed with Wallenberg syndrome and Myasthenia gravis. Both are rare disease but glad that Wallenberg is a curable disease. And I am grateful that I won over Wallenberg. However, Myasthenia gravis doesn't have a cure but it can be treated, confused? It means, the medicines will only help prevent or minimize the symptoms that the patient experience but it cannot cure the disease. Just a week ago, while my husband and I were having breakfast, he told me that, just when he lost his job, that is also the time that I got sick, not just one but two. I just kept my silence and continued eating. But I was already teary-eyed and I could not swallow my food. I know that my husband is having a hard time with our situation, especially that he has no family here in Capiz where he could easily ask for help. He's doing everything just to have a money for my medicine and as his wife I am also doing my part and just a few days ago, I made a wrong decision that compromised my health. Just to minimize or lessen our expenses, instead of taking my meds three times a day, I made it once a day. At first, I did not feel any difference from taking it 3x a day compared to once a day. But after 3 days, I felt weak especially in my arms and legs. I could hardly walk and if my husband asked me what's wrong, I just told him that I am just tired. I still do the house chores just not to be obvious that I felt weak. But there is no secret that can be kept hidden, so last night, I could not eat properly and I could not swallow my food. He then asked me if I am taking my meds on time, I told him the truth and he got mad. He said that I am just making things worst. He said, *"Bahala ka na sa buhay mo kapag may nangyari sayo. Sarili mo di mo pa kayang alagaan."* I just cried. I totally understand him. He was so pressured and yes I am just making the situation worst. I just want to help but I always end up making the wrong decision. You may all think that I am okay with what I have right now because I am always happy in my post in noise, but I am hurting inside. I keep asking God why me? Why it has to be me? This is so hard for me to accept because it felt like my life is always hanging on a thread. I might die tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week. Man, I still have many things that I wanted to do. Such is life. But that's life, shit happens. I have two options, accept it or accept it, lol! I guess time will come that I can wholeheartedly say ***"I am okay."*** `Good news, just this morning, someone phoned my husband for a repair job and he was paid 1,000 pesos or $20. We went to the drug store and bought my meds that would be enough for 3 days. I guess there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.` -- Date Published: January 23, 2022 Lead Image Source https://images.app.goo.gl/4E7jaPTztWcaNnUe7

Are You Up for a Truth or Dare? I want to start this article by saying I LOVE YOU all! I still feel bad about having to choose one user only to express my respect and adoration to her by writing an article. Although the host of the writing prompt told me that I can still do it, I mean to write another article for a particular user again, but the rule is one user per article only. So I will write another article for the said writing prompt but not today. I don't want my readers to think or say like "this again!?" whenever they stumble in my work. By the way, have you participated in the writing prompt? If not, try it. Writing prompts are my life saver whenever I am having writer's block. So today, my topic would be about truth or dare questions which I found or provided by @Jane in her article yesterday. As I visit the site, I found these Truth or Dare Questions which I find interesting because most of the questions happened to me. So why not share it with you guys. But be ready to laugh out loud, Hahaha! And since I can't do or there is no way for me to do the dare, that you can see me doing it, I had chosen truth questions only. https://read.cash/@Jane/read-em-dont-skim-and-skip-39306a92 https://randomwordgenerator.com/truth-or-dare-question.php?fbclid=IwAR2-8xNPRksXHjVEpsd2tEG8cvNvRRSYvJDEDe_bq0qFGqTqBbNH9-EAs4M -- No, but I have done something similar to faking my grades. Okay, so the story was, I was in my second year in high school. I was studying in a private school and the tuition was a bit high. It was my Lola who was sending me to school because my parents separated and we were left under her care. My 2 uncles and aunt were also studying at the said school so I know how hard it was for my grandparents when it comes to financial matters. Now here comes our final exam. I was told by my teacher that she will no longer accept a promissory note for I have been giving her that for 2 consecutive exams already. I know that my Lola had so many things on her plate and I did not want to add more of it. So what I did was, **I faked my receipt**. Yes, you read it right. I looked for the old receipts from my school, changed the date, amount, and receipt number, and gave it to my teacher on the day of the exam and she allowed me to take the test. I don't know how I came up with that idea, I was only 14 years old at that time. You might think that at such a young age I had a criminal mind already, lol! A week after the exam, I was called into the teacher's office. My teacher talked to me about what I did discreetly. I was crying and trembling at that time. I have no excuse so all I could say was "I am so sorry Ma'am." She then told me to bring my parents or guardian to the school the next day. I did not know how to tell my Lola about it without me being beaten but I know that I deserved it. But to my surprised, she did not beat me nor gave me an earful. Instead, she hugged me and said, "Next time, let the old ones solve the problem, okay? " I cried and hugged her back. I suddenly missed my Lola. So moving on, I brought my stepmother instead of my Lola because she's old and weak. My stepmom paid the dues and asked for an apology about what I did. My teacher was kind enough to forgive me and told me not to do it again. It happened when I was 13 years old. My Lola's brother in-law invited us to visit their place in Pampanga. There was an occasion but I can't remember what it was exactly. We stayed there for 3 days. Before we head home, one of my Tita told us to visit one of the best resort in Pampanga. Of course, we were so excited because we seldom visit that kind of place. She let me borrow one of her swimsuit. The place was great and there were slides in the swimming pools. There are pools for kids, young adult and adult. We were told to swim in the kids pool only but because I was a bit hard headed, i disobeyed (evil smile). I was wearing a swimsuit and a short pants that time. I went to the young adult pool, saw many guys and gals swam. But I wasn't there to hunt boys, jeez I was only 13. I went there because of the long slide, lol! I went for the slide over and over again, until I was burnout. I went back to our cottage, and then I noticed that people that I passed by were laughing. But I ignored it and walked as fast as I could for I was so hungry. When I arrived in our cottage, my cousins and sisters were laughing at me, I asked them why. They said that my short pants has a hole right under my butt cheek! I hurriedly cover myself with a towel and checked it myself and it was true! I was so humiliated that time. So that was the reason why people were laughing at me, they saw my "kuyukot", my not so white kuyukot, HAHAHA! Good thing we are only a so called "tourist" in that place and people will eventually forget that moment, lol! Gasoline forever, LOL! Are you familiar with the song "**Goodbye Girl" by David Gates?** It was a ballad song, I think, lol! One of my ex-friend (she's no longer my friend now coz she's a bitch, lol!) was so into ballad songs before. She even has a tape recorder and karaoke and record all the songs the she liked and played it over and over again. Eventually, I get addicted to it because she played it every time we hang out in their house. The lyrics goes like this... I know it's hard believin The words you've heard before But darlin you must trust them just once more, cause baby Goodbye, **doesn't mean forever** Let me tell you goodbye, doesn't mean we'll never be together again. But the thing is, instead of the words "**doesn't mean forever**" we thought it was GASOLINE FOREVER and we were singing it from the bottom of my heart HAHAHA! You can't blame me though it does sound like it. We discovered it a week after when my Tita told me that it was not gasoline while laughing at me. She showed me the song hits which is by the way, the trend at that time, and when I checked it, I was indeed wrong, HAHAHA! just imagine me singing that song wholeheartedly, lol! And that's it guys! I hope you like my back story of the truth questions, hehe. If you like to share yours, just click the link I provided above. But before I end this article, let me leave a video of the song that I mentioned in this article. Here it is... https://youtu.be/xnMkKv1dtQw **From YouTube** -- Date Published: January 22, 2022 Lead Image from GIPHY Screenshots from the link provided

I love her because.... Thank God it's Friday! Gosh, I can't believe that it is Friday already and January has almost come to an end. Then here comes February, the L-O-V-E month. Without a doubt, many of you are probably preparing something for your dearest one on Valentine's day, am I right? And those who are single are so getting ready to mingle, lol! Hi madam @Ruffa, are you ready? Char! I know that you are happy being single madam but please go out on a date this Valentines' day, okay. Landi landi din pag may time, hahaha! Enough already and let's get down to business. My topic is somehow connected with the love month. This is a writing prompt by @Theblackdoll which is I love you because....in which you will choose one user of read.cash whom you love and why you choose that user. Write something nice about him/her and mention I love you because...You can know more about this writing prompt here and see if you have that certain user whom you adore and respect. https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/i-love-you-because-prompt-3959d116 I am torn between so many users. Since last night, I was thinking hard about who to choose. Being on this platform for more than a year means I had formed a certain bond with many users. Friendship, camaraderie whatever you may call it. But I have to choose one but it doesn't mean that I love you all less...It is so hard to choose but know that I love you guys because you have helped me in so many ways and made my life so much better. -- Photo Source https://www.rootreport.com/52-reasons-why-i-love-you-ideas-list/ I happen to stumble upon her article a year ago. What caught my attention was that she had tried to take her life once, as what she wrote in her article and I was like, seriously? Since then, I have been reading some of her articles(not all because sometimes I was overwhelmed with so many piled-up articles in my notification and I just need to mark them as read.) I also found out that she's an introvert, I don't consider myself an extrovert but one thing is for sure, I am the total opposite of her, and that's what I like about her. Hi @Jeaneth, surprised? hehe...You're one of the many writers I adored and look up to on this platform. For me, you are more than a virtual friend, you're a friend. A friend who showed her sincerity on my worst day. I am so touched when you told me that you consider me as your friend for real and not just virtually...And here are the things that I love about you.... I love you because after what you have been through, you managed to stand up and did not waste the second life that was given to you. And for that, I respect you. Not all can do that. It only shows that you are strong enough to face your fears and live your dreams. I love you because you are simple. You're simplicity turned you into a beauty. I love you because you are sincere. I did feel the sincerity every time we talk or converse especially in those times that I am in bad shape, and I thank you for that. I love you because you are Godfearing. I love you because you are always ready to extend a helping hand. I love you because your simple "Kumusta ka na madam?" can somehow make me calm and feel good. I can feel the warmth in my heart, and that's because I know that you mean it. I love you because you are the total opposite of me. You are baby faced while I am not, lol! I am talkative and you're not which made me think that if only I live near you, I would totally turn your silent life into a disaster if you'll let me, hahaha! **The advice I want to give you:** A piece of advice Jeaneth, don't be afraid to go out in your comfort zone and get married soon, hehehe.. **What do I wish upon you:** You are perfect in your own simple way Jeaneth. To be honest, I envy you in so many things. You are simply beautiful. I wish you a happy married life soon madam. A good health and I also wish you success in your upcoming gig. Thank you for being my friend. I love you Jeaneth from the bottom of my heart... -- Oh no, I feel so bad that I had to choose one person only because you are all so dear to me. Sis @Theblackdoll why does it have to be just one though, char! Hahaha! Anyways, thank you for this writing prompt. I wish to see more of this and I hope many would participate. -- Date Published: January 21, 2022

Ano ang Nasa Dako Pa Roon? the photo was taken last night. Sorry for the not-so-good quality. *Ano ang nasa dako paroon* *Bunga ng malilikot na pag iisip* *likha ng balintataw* *O halaw sa isang daigdig ng Kababalaghan* *Di Kayang Ipaliwanag* *Ngunit alam mong magaganap* Source https://lostmediawiki.com/Pinoy_Thriller_(lost_Filipino_horror_TV_series;_1986-1989) Only batang 80s ang makakarelate dito, hahaha! Dahil sa article na to eh bunyag na bunyag ang edad ko eh noh. Pamilyar ba kayo sa palabas na **Pinoy Thriller** or **Regal Shocker**? Eto yung mga sikat na sikat na horror na palabas sa IBC Channel 13 noon. (Sana may kaedad ako na makabasa nito pra di sayang yung effort ko,hahaha). Sa pagkakatanda ko, edad 6 or 7 yata ako nung sumikat 'to.Mga panahong yan eh wala pa kaming television set kaya nakikinood lang kami sa kapitbahay. Tapos ang usong tv pa that time eh yung tv na nasa loob ng kabinet. Bale ang bahay namin noon eh nasa tabing kalsada, as in yung main road. Tapos hindi pa ganoon kadami ang bahay saka madami pang puno sa paligid. So dahil wala nga kaming tv noon eh nangangapitbahay pa kami makapnood lang nyan. Yun Tita ko na may pagkaMaritess, may friend sya noon na medyo richie rich kaya kumpleto sa gamit at doon kami nakikinood. Medyo may kalayuan ang bahay ng friend ng tita ko na yun. Hindi ko na tanda yun eksaktong oras pero sa tingin ko eh gabing - gabi na yun kasi wala na halos tao sa labas at kapag nakikinood kami doon, kami na lang halos natitira. So one time, nakinood ulit kami. Ang kasama ko noon eh yung Tita ko, anak nya saka yun kapatid ko. Papunta pa lang kami noon sa bahay ng friend ng Tita ko eh nagkakatakutan na. Takot na takot kami dati kapg bilog ang buwan dahil lalabas daw mga aswang. Saka kapag tumutingin kami sa buwan, feeling namin kami ay sinusundan, hahaha! Pagdating namin doon sa bahay eh nanonood na sila tapos kami doon na lang sa terrace nakapwesto. Nahiya din kasi ako pumasok sa loob ng bahay nila, may pogi kasi syang anak,char! https://youtu.be/_QeGj7gedQQ So ayun na nga, habang nanonood kami eh nagsisiksikan na. Tapos nagtatakip ng mata habang nanonood. Natapos yun buong palabas na puro sigaw lang kami magkapatid at pinsan. Tapos nun pauwe na kami, eto na ang takutan. Bale yun pinsan ko na kasi na yun eh sobrang duwag. Napakamatatakutin kaya inaasar namin yun na bakla. So habang naglalakad kami, may naririnig kami na parang kaluskos sa mga puno saka parang may sumusunod sa amin. Hawak kami agad na 3 sa Tita ko. Pero alam ko that time tinubuan na din ng takot yung Tita ko kasi madilim talaga doon sa dinadaanan namin. So habang naglalakad kami, wala talaga umiimik. Nakikiramdam kami sa paligid. Tapos may aso na biglang umalulong ng todo, yun bang alulong na kikilabutan ka talaga. Kanya- kanya kami ng takbo, hahaha! Grabe talaga yung takbo ko, feeling ko noon eh di na sumasayad sa lupa yun paa ko eh, hahaha! Naiwan tapos yun tita ko saka pinsan ko, tapos kami ng kapatid ko ang naunang nakarating sa bahay. Nakarating kami sa bahay noon na wala nang tsinepen. Simula noon eh di na kami pinayagan ng lola ko makinood at after 1 month eh bumili kami ng tv na nasa kabinet,hehehe! -- Pasensya na kayo kung napakwento agad ako. Naalala ko lang to bigla nun nakita ko yun artilcle ni @Bloghound about sa moon. Then last night, ang creepy din nun moon kaya kinunan ko agad ng picture. Tapos yun nga, habang nakatingin ako sa moon kagabi eh naalala ko yun mga time na nauso yun Pinoy Thriller. Pero looking back at those palabas now, naisip ko hindi naman pala sya nakakatakot talaga. And yun graphics nya eh di ganoon kaganda. Siempre di pa naman ganoon ka hightech before. Sinubukan namin panoorin kagabi yun isang episode sa youtube at inantok lang ako,char! -- Date Published: January 20, 2022 Video from Youtube

A Story that Rambles https://youtu.be/hBDKzrGJRy4 `Listening to this song while trying to compose this article. I first saw this on Facebook and since then, I kept on watching it. I love their voices especially the girl. I have no idea that she can sing well. She's the lead actress in the famous kdrama "Goblin."` -- Another day yet same vibes. I am sooooooooo bored doing the same thing over and over and over and over again (sigh). Did you count the word "over"? That's how bored I am. I can't even think of a good topic for today. I had browsed my previous articles hoping that I could get an idea but nothing happen. I just noticed though that my previous articles particularly that was written last year had a better pay than what I had published this month. Oh well, "not everyday is Christmas", lol! That's what my husband told me every time things didn't go as planned(hindi araw-araw pasko). Then I saw my short novel "Ang Love Story ng Langaw at ng Agta" read it and had me laughing. I wonder when will I have an inspiration to write the next chapter. I tried writing it now but I don't like how the story goes so I deleted it. But I would try to write the continuation the soonest. I also read my article about our plans for 2022, the "sari-sari store" that was supposedly started this month but did not go as planned. We thought that we can start it right away. Our original plan was to sell my husband's motorcycle and use the money for the business. But then we thought that he will be needing his motorcycle once he start working again this coming February so we opted out that idea. His work is mostly located outside the city. Then we consider in getting a loan but I told him it is hard to have a loan in our current situation. It will be a burdensome to think where to get the money to pay for the said loan. So I told him we can start our sari-sari store once he start working. And I am so excited about it. It means I can save more and probably don't need to spend my bch because we have a stable income plus a sari-sari store. Oh I hope things will get better for us, soonest. Distraction: My mother phoned me and reminded me about her coming birthday, lol! I was planniing to give her something on that special day. Well, let's see if my wallet is able, lol! The call lasted for 20 minutes. We talked about random things and how she misses me. My last visit was 3 years ago and of course, I also missed her. I hope I can give her something on her birthday next week. We were trying to reach out to my youngest sister about her plans on our mom's birthday but did not get a response from her. She is the most able among us three because she has a good paying job. But since the day that we had an argument, she distant herself from us. Well, she's matanda na kaya bahala na sya. Then our tita told us before that they were planning to surprise our mom on her special day. They will travel from Taytay Rizal to Orion Bataan and spend time on the farm. But my tita told me that they are now hesitating to go because of the travel restrictions. It would be such a hassle especially if they would bring their grandchildren. So I guess, my mom will celebrate her birthday just as usual. What's important is that she's in good health. -- Before this article ends, let me express my gratitude to my beautiful sponsors who keeps on supporting me especially to @Bloghound. Thank you for your continuous support sissy! Very much appreciated. Love love love! -- Date Published: January 19, 2022 Lead Image from Unsplash

Run free My Ash Ash has been missing for almost a week but I am still hoping that he will come back to us. We have done every possible things that could help us find Ash. Everyday, my husband is walking around the subdivision and look for him. Some would asked us, "May lahi ba yung pusa nyo?" Bakit, kailangan ba may breed ang hayop para mahalin at alagaan? I don't get it, bakit may mga ganoon tao. Sasabihin nila na animal lover sila pero kapag local breed lang or Puspin at Aspin, di nila pinapahalagahan. So going back to my topic, after days of not seeing Ash, unti-unti ko nang natatanggap na umalis na nga sya at naghanap ng mate nya. But still hoping na babalik pa din sya. And that hope suddenly crashed this afternoon. After taking a bath, I craved for coffee so I went to the nearest store, a few houses away from our house, to buy instant coffee. Habang naglalakad ako, I saw two of my neighbors talking and I overheard them. May nagtapon daw ng patay na hayop sa tapat ng bahay nila, sa mga halaman nya mismo at ang baho na daw kaya pinatapon na nila. Upon hearing that, medyo kinabahan ko kaya lumapit ako sa kanila and asked kung ano yun tunapon nila. She said patay na pusa daw at mabaho na. I asked her kung ano ang kulay and she said may stripes daw. Then sabi nya itanong ko daw doon kay guy kasi yun ang kumuha at nagpatapon. So I hurriedly went to his house and asked him about the color and he said the same thing. So what I did was went home and get my phone para ipakita sa guy yun itsura ni Ash. Then my husband saw me, asked me bakit parang nagmamadali ako. Sabi ko baka si Ash yun nakita nila na patay na at tinapon. Sumama sya sa akin pabalik sa guy. Then nung pinakita ko na picture ni Ash sa kanya, he confirmed na yun nga ang patay na pusa na nakita nila. That moment on, feeling ko nagsisikip ang dibdib ko. Hindi na ako makapagsalita. Tapos nagtanong yun guy kung may breed daw ba yun pusa ko. Si husband na ang sumagot at sabi nya na local breed lang yun pero mahal na mahal namin. After namin makipag-usap eh umuwi na ako at pagdating sa bahay, hindi ko na napigilan yung emotions ko and I cried like I haven't cried before. Hindi ko matanggap yun nangyari kay Ash.Hindi ko na din nakuha ko katawan nya para man lang sana malibing ng maayos kasi inuuod na daw kaya pinatapon na nya sa mga bata. Basag daw ang ulo ni Ash. Sabi nila baka daw may nanakit kay Ash tapos dun itinapon or doon na nakapagtago si Ash at doon na namatay. Sobrang sakit sa dibdib, para akong namatayan ng anak. Inalagaan ko, pinakain ng maayos, pinahalagahan, minahal tapos sasaktan lang ng iba. Okay pa sana kung umlais na lang si Ash at naghanap ng mate eh, kahit huwag a sya bumalik, mas matatanggap ko pa yun. Pero yun malaman ko na maaring sinaktan sya at namatay na lang sa hirap na naramdaman nya, hindi ko matanggap. Ang sakit, grabe. Maaaring hindi ninyo ako maintindihan, kasi pusa lang naman yun pero ganito ang nararamdaman ko. Pero ganun ko kamahal ang mga alaga ko. *Run free Ash, mahal na mahal ka ni Mamita. Kaya pala sobrang lambing mo sa akin bago ka nawala. nagpakarga ka at dinidikit mo pa mukha mo sa akin. Wala ng mangungulit sa akin at magpapakarga. Wala nna din sasalubong sa akin kapag galing ako sa labas. Wala ng sasama sa akin kapag bibili ako sa tindahan. Mamimiss kita anak. Pero dyan sa kinalalagyan mo ngayon, marami na foods dyan at wala ng mananakit sayo. Magkikita din tayo balang araw, salubungin mo si Mamita ha. Paalam anak....* -- Date Published: January 18, 2022

Photographs and Memories I remember a long time ago, we were celebrating barangay fiesta. And one of the events back then was **Miss Pangpang**, I forgot the year though. The ladies who participated were all beautiful but only three were left for the final question and answer portion. The question was, *"For you, what belongings do you have you consider as a treasure?"* A particular contestant caught my attention because I loved her answer. She said, *" Photographs because it captures every moment of my life which I will treasure forever. When I grow old, I would look at those photographs and reminisce the memories. And that is priceless."* Everyone applauded especially the judge who asked the question. Unfortunately, she landed only in the first runner-up. But for me, she deserves to be Miss Pangpang, because her answer was way better than the girl's answer who won the title. I suddenly remember that moment when I have read about @meitanteikudo 's Prompt factory which you will have to showcase the photos you have in your gallery. From the oldest photos, strangest, and latest that you have in your gallery. So brace yourself because this will be flooded with many photos from the pretty me, charot! **The Oldest Photo** This was taken last December 25, 2018, at Robinsons Mall here in Roxas City. We were supposed to watch a movie but there was a long queue of people who want to watch so we end up having lunch. It was a noodle house. I forgot the name but their food was superb. It was my first time eating Japanese noodles and was my last, hahaha! I didn't get the chance to go back. But I will, soonest! **The Latest Photo** I took this just this morning and posted it in my noise.cash account. The story behind it was, I went to a drug store to buy my medicine but I was asked for my vaccination card upon entering their premises. I was surprised, didn't see it coming. I thought it only happens in Manila. I mean I have an idea about it but did not expect it to be implemented here suddenly. **A Selfie/Grouphie** This is my daughter and her friends grouphie that was taken last December in one of the beach resorts here in Capiz. They had so much fun at that time. My husband and I followed them not to spy but also to have a great time. My daughter seldom asked for permission to hang out with her friends. She's more of a home buddy. So I let her spend time with them from time to time and create beautiful memories that they will treasure forever. **The Worst Photo** This is the worst photo that I had, you can obviously see why. This was the time that I was tested positive with Covid19. This is not just the worst photo but also the worst day of my life. But with the help of my family and bch community, I surpassed the ordeal and I am very grateful. **The Best Photo** The best thing that could ever happen to a mother like me is to see their child/children conquer or achieve their dreams in life. And one of them is to finish school. I am always in tears every time I look at this photo. Four more years and she will finally graduate in College and will eventually land on a decent job. Her Tita, my brother in-law's wife, promised her a job in the Resorts World. So all she had to do is study hard and finish college. Photographs can do wonders. It can take us to the time it was taken and relive the memories we had. In our time, cameras were expensive and the photos need to be develop before you can actually see it and it will took a while. Unlike now, taking pictures is a easy peasy and anyone can take one even a toddler. Thanks to the technology that we have now. -- Date Published: January 17, 2022 All photos are mine unless stated otherwise.

Meet Luna's 4th Litter Luna is my first ever adopted cat. I got her from a dumpster one night when I went out for a walk with Odie. I did not know that at that time it is a she, but still, I named her Luna because I found her at night. Luna means moon. So when she was in heat for the first time, I was surprised, and I told myself, I am in deep shit, lol! Luna is the reason why I have 13 cats now. Yesterday, I know that anytime soon, she will give birth. She was looking for corners, even went to the cabinet to look for a place to give birth. And this morning, when I woke up, she went straight to me and keep meowing. It is as if she's telling me that *"Hey Hooman, I am in labor now, hurry up!"* Hahaha! I then prepared a place for her in the bedroom. Placed some old clothes inside the basin and put Luna in it. She wanted me to hold her and not let go. Every time I would remove my hands, she would meow hard, lol! I keep rubbing her belly while telling her this, *Oh ayan, masakit di ba? Tapos ilang buwan lang lalandi ka na naman. Papabuntis ka tapos hindi ka naman humihingi ng sustento sa nakabuntis sayo. Anak ka ng anak tapos ako nagpapakain. Makita pa kita maglandi, tatahiin ko yan pempem mo.* My daughter was laughing when she heard that because Luna seems to understand and respond to me while I was saying it, lol! It took an hour before she finally gave birth to her firstborn. I named it Siopao because it looks exactly like Siomai. I was so happy when it first came out. It feels great when you've become a part of one's life. More or less 15 minutes was the time of Luna's birthing. She gave birth to 5 kittens. She had a hard time giving birth to the fourth one. The body was already out and the head was still inside Luna's, so I was telling her to push harder or lease her kitten will die. I was pulling the body lightly just to help Luna. Then after a couple of minutes, it finally went out and alive. I was telling Luna, *"Goof job Luna, your babies are all healthy and beautiful."* And here they are, meet Luna's fourth litter! Aren't they so cute! I haven't named them yet but for sure, one of them is Siopao. We were thinking of gaming them with street foods but my husband said to name them from an anime character, hahaha! But I want to name them Kwek-kwek, Kikiam and Dimsum. While my daughter wants to name them from an anime character too. Let's just see what will be their final names next week, hahaha! As I said, they are Luna's fourth litter. Her first litter all died. I don't know why but maybe it was because she was still young back then. Then her second litter is Nana, Nini, and Ash. While her third litter is Una, Dos, Siomai, Shadow, and Eve. All in all, I have 13 cats. It was supposed to be 14 but since Ash is missing, it's now 13. Thirteen cats, thirteen mouths to feed plus four dogs, lol! I need to grind harder to be able to give them their needs. But regardless, I am so happy that they are all well and healthy. -- Date Published: January 16, 2022 All photos are mine unless stated otherwise.

Google Once Again Saved Me Good day read-tizens! I have been slacking too much already. Spend most of my time lying in bed. I dunno, I just can't find the motivation I needed to be more productive these past few days. The overflowing motivation that I had last month was slowly decreasing. I guess it has something to do with my cat Ash. It's been four days that he is missing. This morning, some kids from the neighborhood went to our house and told us that it might be our cat that they saw near their place. So the husband and I went there but sadly it was not Ash. I am so disappointed because I thought we could have our Ash back. I end up crying again and my husband started to nag about me always crying. I think it's time for me to let go of Ash and just hope that he is in a good place where he is well-fed and well-loved. But in my heart, I am still hoping that he would come back. Anyway, life must go on as they say. I have to move on from losing Ash because I have more mouths to feed hence I should continue to grind. I still have 8 more cats so no more lazy days for me. I spent an hour looking for a topic on google. Found some interesting ideas but couldn't construct a good article for them. But of course, I did save it for later. So I will have to go for an easy topic today, which is the most famous one, the question and answer portion, lol! Google directed me to this site and find the questions interesting. There are 365 questions to answer but I chose a few questions only. And so, let's begin! https://bucketlistjourney.net/365-thought-provoking-questions-answered/ *What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago? I have no idea that I am capable of writing or blogging. Like seriously, it never came to my mind that I would be able to write a whole article because I could not even write a simple essay when I was a student. Read.cash made me do it, lol! And what drives me to do it was lack of money. That's what motivates me to write, to earn extra money. And I think I am doing good because I could safely say that I had earn and still earning a good amount of money that helps us get through daily. And I am so proud of myself. *Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? A few days ago, I saw a meme on Facebook that suits very well in this question. And here it is, This had me laughing for a while and this is real talk man. Mostly, smart people had a tendency to lose a screw on their head and end up a mad person. And they take things seriously. They became problematic on simple things. And I'd rather be a simpleton than a genius. I am a minimalist person, I want things to be simple. Simple person is I think happier than genius one. What are your thoughts on this? *What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? My answer would be to think more of myself, to be selfish once in a while. I have given too much already that nothing is left for myself. What is the difference between living and existing? For me, living is you have the control over your life. You do things the way you wanted. While existing is letting things have a control over you. You just go with the flow. Where is the fun on that? *How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? I think 30ish because I can relate better to younger people than to the older one. I don't know why but I can easily bond with younger generations than people who have the same age as me. I remember what @Yen told me before. She said, *"buti ka nga mommy nakakasabay ka pa din sa amin sa kabila ng edad mo."* And sometimes I can be as childish as ever even I am 41 already, so I guess I am in my early 30s if I didn't know my real age. ***What makes you smile?** Cats, dogs, good movies, foods, good company, and hearing "I love you" from my love ones. Basta, simple things can make me happy! *Can you describe your life in a six word sentence? Living happily contended with my family. -- Date published: January 15, 2022

Que Horror! Nagising ako sa isang mahabang pagtulog. Nagising ako kasi parang andaming tao sa bahay. Pinilit kong tumayo kahit hinang-hina ang katawan ko. Hindi pa din kasi ako nakakarecover sa sakit ko. Pakiramdam ko ay napakabigat ng aking katawan kaya hirap ako sa paglakad. Pagkalabas ko ng kuwarto eh nakita ko na may bisita pala kami. Kinakausap nila ang asawa ko habang nakita ko naman ang anak ko na naghahanda ng merienda para sa bisita. Naglakad ako papunta sa banyo para umihi. Habang nasa loob ako ng banyo ay naririnig ko yun usapan ng mga tao sa sala. May umiiyak habang nagsasalita. Meron pala kaming namatay na kamag-anak. Napaisip tuloy ako kung sino. Kasi kapag naman may namamatay sa side ng asawa ko eh wala naman pumupunta dito sa bahay kasi nga wala naman sila pakialam sa amin or kung meron man ay di ganun kaayos para sabihan kami kapag may namatay sa side ng asawa ko. Paglabas ko ng banyo ay eksakto naman na papunta din sala ang anak ko bitbit yun mga hinanda nya para sa bisita, softdrinks at tinapay. Dahil hindi ako pwede sa softdrinks eh tinanong ko ang anak ko kung may kape pa ba kami at tinapay kasi magkakape na lang ako. Pero siguro dahil sa busy sya sa pag- aasikaso sa bisita eh di nya ako napansin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hinang-hina ako kaya paika-ika ako na naglakad sa kusina at nagsalang ng mainit na tubig sa kalan. Habang hinihintay ko na kumulo ang tubig ay nagsilapitan sa akin ang mga alaga kong pusa at nagulat ako kasi biglang lumapit sa akin si Ash! Sa sobrang tuwa ko eh kinarga ko agad sya at umiiyak habang sinasabi na *"Ash buti bumalik ka kay Mamita, miss na miss kita!"* Gusto ko sana sabihin sa asawa at anak ko na bumalik na si Ash kaso bigla naman sumipol yun takure namin na ibig sabihin eh kumulo na yung tubig na sinalang ko. Nilapag ko muna si Ash at sinabihan sya na wag na aalis at nalulungkot si mamita, sumagot naman sya sa akin ng *"meow"* kaya naman tuwang-tuwang talaga ako. Pagkasalin ko ng tubig sa thermos eh nagtimpla na agad ako ng kape at kumain ng tinapay doon na mismo sa dirty kitchen. Hindi na ako humarap sa bisita kasi hindi ko din naman sila talaga kasundo kung mga kamag-anak man ng asawa ko yun. Pero habang kumakain ay pasilip silip ako sa sala at nakita ko anak ko na malungkot at umiiyak. Ganun din ang asawa ko, umiiyak habang kausap ang isang babae na nakatalikod sa akin or sa lugar kung saan ako naroom kaya di ko makilala kung sino. Nacurious tuloy ako bigla kung ano ang nangyare or kung sino ang namatay na kamag-anak namin para iyakan ng asawa ko dahil kahit nga noong namatay ang byenan kong babae eh hindi man ko man lang nakitang umiyak ang asawa ko. Kaya kahit hinang-hina ay lumapit ako sa kanila. Tinatawag ko ang asawa ko pero di nya ako pinapansin or naririnig. Ganoon din ang anak ko, or baka di lang nila ako narinig dahil nga sa isang bisita namin na grabe umiyak. Pero habang papalapit ako, unti- unti kong nabobosesan ang mga bisita namin. Bakit parang kilalang kilala ko kung kanino ang mga boses na yun lalo na yung grabe kung makaiyak. Grabe ang kabog ng dibdib ko habang palapit ako ng palapit sa kanila. Bakit ganun, bakit parang kinakabahan at takot na takot ako. Nang tuluyan na akong nakalapit sa kanila ay nagulat ako dahil ang bisita pala namin ay ag kapatid,tyahin at mama ko. Kaya sabi ko agad sa kanila, "*Ma, Katy, mommy Ging, ano nangyare, bakit kayo nandito? Ipaliwanag nyo nga sa akin ang nangyare? "* Pero parang di nila ako naririnig, ganoon din ang asawa at anak ko. Tapos narinig ko na sinabi ng kapatid ko, "*Ano ba ang nangyare Cris? Bakit ganun nangyare kay Ate Ne? Akala ko ba ay okay na sya, di ba yun ang sabi mo."* Tapos sabi ng asawa ko, "*Nagkaroon ng komplikasyon ang sakit ni Melinda kaya bigla na lang tumigil sa pagfunction ang utak nya. Nang dinala namin sya sa ospital ay brain dead na daw sya kaya wala ng nagawa ang mga doktor. "* Nagimbal ako sa mga narinig ko. Pakiramdam ko eh umiikot ang paligid ko. Ano nangyari!? Paanong namatay ako samantalang andito ako sa harapan nyo!? Sa sobrang pagkabigla eh bigla na lang ako nawalan ng malay. Nagising ako na nasa kwarto ulit. Tinawag ko agad ang asawa ko, "Pa, pa! " Pasigaw sya na sumagot ng "Bakit, naano ka? " Sabi ko n lang eh, "Wala pa, akala ko eh umalis ka. Bumili lang ako ng merienda. Tumayo ka na dyan para makakain ka na. " Salamat naman at panaginip lang pala. Akala ko ay totoo na talaga grabe pa man din ang kaba ng dibdib ko dahil akala ko eh patay na talaga ako. Anhyeong guys! Pasensya na kayo at tagalog ngayon ang gawa ko at medyo mahaba. Gusto ko lang ishare sa inyo yun napanaginipan ko kanina. Medyo morbid noh, kahit ako eh takot na takot nun nagising eh. Akala ko talaga eh totoo. Ewan ko ba kung bakit these past few days eh ang weird ng mga napaanaginipan ko. Sana manatiling panaginip lang talaga ang lahat. -- Date Published: January 14, 2022
