Easy on a Monday Let us take it easy on a Monday, shall we? I was entertained by @Ruffa 's article and realized I can answer some of her questions in the ending part. Yes, of course, I weigh the questions and briefly answer them in a draft in my head before assessing if I *can* use it for an article. https://read.cash/@Ruffa/first-day-on-readcash-and-you-dont-know-what-to-do-try-this-f012c8b2 Her article did bring me back on how I started in this platform. I remember…

When I grow up... When we were kids, we could not wait for that time when we are categorized as "grown up". We have lots of plans anticipating that time while simply enjoying the benefits and privilege of being a child. I remember only thinking of "when I grow up I will.." lines : when asked when I got scolded at when I was not allowed to have what I want to have in line with the previous bullet, when I was stopped from doing what I want to do because I am still "a kid", "a…
Unbelievable Eh? Start of the month, I wanted to start strong and make the most of this platform. But guess what? *If distraction is going to come your way, distraction will find its way no matter how you dodge it. That is the insane version of my Murphy's law.* I thought I had the strategy laid out and figured out. But what good is a strategy if you are not going to move a muscle to push it, right? This is the part where I interject this thought: *Same goes with our…
Thank you my friend @emily2u !!! I so saw that!
Travel Along Alright! Let's go traveling! I saw this one from @emily2u in her article: This or That: My Travel Preferences . I have a travel plan set for this month. My friends and I talked about it and I have noted some changes in the way we prefer how our travel would go about. https://read.cash/@emily2u/this-or-that-my-travel-preferences-dd519199 Let us see now. ****Boat or Airplane**** First item and I am scratching my head. Classic case of making an overthinker decide…
Comfort Food I craved for something that would make me happy. Not rhat I am not happy waking up, I am just feeling a bit under the weather. I had breakfast but had to leave before being able to gulp a joe because I volunteered to take my mom to pick up my aunt and drop them off at the out-patient of the general hospital for my aunt's checkup. I planned to get my coffee fix after dropping them off. Any coffee would do actually. It is after all the very staple "comfort" drink…
Not a Prompt: Which is worse? So I found myself half-interested in this cop-forensic series or cop-crime series, whatever! Half-interested because I am barely paying attention to it but I would play it in the background anyway. That's the beauty of watching series and films that are in english. Unlike korean novelas which require me to read while watching. This series is not as exciting as CSI and barely even close to Blacklist. But it is good enough another series to make…
Before Noon Thoughts Turning screentime to something that converts to moolah. Ain't this what we are doing when we spend time posting and interacting using platforms like read and noise. But balance is key, though. We should not stay too long online because the dishes will not wash themselves. I am up for more or less four hours now. Read a lot of stuff from the net, from my Kindle, from my memories and my mind have journeyed a thousand archipelagos and have created ten…
Sit With Them The world is chaotic no doubt. It did not just start being chaotic the moment COVID decided it is its time to make its presence known to the world. It did not start when the election result was unbelievable. It did not start when countries went to war. It started when human decided to practice the decision-making and yes that was an unbelievable decision making. That gets passed down. We get things mixed up a lot if times. The good for the bad. The bad for the…
Now the Prompt: Which is Worse? Funny stumbling on kudo's article : Which is Worse because I saw the notification of him publishing it just when I was reviewing my draft and thinking of when to publish the one in queue which is of the same title initially. I had to blink twice and make sure I wasn't cross-eyed. I thought I accidentally published my article. But I was confused because it was not from me. Hahaha. https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/prompt-which-is-worse-ea85da99…
Picking Ten I was drafting an article last night that I was so sure is going to go flop. I had this think of things you see from where you are seating that starts with letter "A"? I started typing and I was going to end up not being able to see any thing at all that starts with that freaking start of the alphabet. I aborted that mission and decided to give my brain a rest. So here now, browsing and thought of getting more this or that in the loop. Such a sweet escape!…
Momentary Escape I was waiting for this day. When I and my travel friends will finally get to roam around the Philippines and visit islands, enjoy the sandy shore, enjoy the blue provincial seas and enjoy each other's company. One day when COVID restrictions finally loosened up, we booked a trip to Iloilo. No itineraries yet and still picking up the vibes in case the restrictions suddenly become stringent again. We had moved our previous scheduled and paid for trip for the…
Odd Policy Anyone here working in the food industry? I oddly had a mind-boggling experience with one when we were on our trip. We got back to Iloilo from Guimaras with time to burn before our flight out. Despite the fact that the local weather beaureau already declared the start of the rainy season, we were mighty glad to have been blessed by bright sunshiny days when we need it. A drizzle here and there and a looming threat of heavy downpour, but the only downpour we…
All in the Game of Bluff "Bluff" is today's favorite word. I do not particularly have a habit of picking a "word of the day" but for some days, some word just have more appeal than most. It is like walking through a typical crowded market where everyone is colored grey and at some point there is this one person who stands out because his grey suit suddenly glows yellow. That is the word today : Bluff. "Everybody Lies". That is one line from Doctor House. Have you seen it? It…
Out of Frustration ***How do you like your eggs in the morning?*** I know I have asked that before in my previous articles. I'd mention which one but I am a little time-bound (self-pressured no time limit really) and I am in no liberty (timewise) to scroll up and tag my own article here. Haha. Has it ever happened, though, that you got served with a food that did not meet your expectation? I am sure, though, if it is an upgrade of what we thought the food would look and…
