The advantages of having a sister as a neighbor.
In our family, I do have 9 sisters. Yes, you read it right. 9 amazing and generous sisters. Actually, we are 10 girls in the family and 2 boys only. We are one dozen healthy children of our hardworking parents. Lol. Amazing right? Well, it's not a big deal now cause we are already grown up and had a little own family. I am 2nd to the last child of my parents and I was the last who got married. And since we already have our own little family, expectedly that we also have our own home. My two sisters are now living in the Luzon area since their husbands are working there. That's why they moved there too. They just went home here in our province to have a vacation. My other sisters are living now distant from us. My youngest sister and I together with our husbands are living on the same roof. We are here in our ancestral house. My mother is not with us. She is with my other older sister as a companion for the reason that my husband's sister is a seaman and she has only one child. She needs someone to talk to and to be with.
Since I am just here in our house, I do have an older sister as our neighbor. She had kids but had already grown-up or teenagers. So, she no longer has a toddler. That is what I mean by advantage because every time I am busy doing some household chores and have an important appointment to go to, I just leave my baby to her. I ask her if it's okay and there's no problem at all. My baby is her niece too so she loves my baby as well. She treats my baby as hers. Her kids love my baby also. They treat my baby as their youngest sister in their family. There are times that they will go here to our house and borrowed my baby because their excuse is that they don't have anything to do and they are bored. They just love to see my baby smiling back at them every time they annoyed my baby. Besides, my baby is our new happy pill. π
There are times that my sister/Ate buy dresses, shoes, and sandals for my baby. Sometimes she also buys one package of diapers if she has extra money. She did that maybe because she's no longer has a small one and also she can't bear a child anymore because she was undergone surgery and took her "matris" caused by a cyst 5 years ago. For me, it's okay that she can't have a baby anymore because she already had 4 kids. That is enough for me. By the way, she is turning 38 years old this coming April.
Another advantage of having her as my neighbor is that every time I don't have a viand at lunchtime she always gives me some just to have mine to eat especially for my 1-year-old baby that she loves. There are times that I can't cook our dish and sometimes I felt tired to cook especially now that my husband is not with us every lunchtime because of work. So I just prefer to buy viand and that is why sometimes I just go to my sister's house and ask for some. Lol. Good thing she always has food on the table.
I am so blessed enough for I do have a sister like her that always on the go and always has something to offer especially food for my baby. I am beyond thankful that she is one of our neighbors that I always count on and shared about problems and someone to talk to if I felt bored in our house. I just went to their house and have some exchange of talks. She is a kind of a sister of mine that always has the time when I needed her. She seldom ignores my favor when it comes to my baby. She always says "okay, no problem". How fortunate I am that she also loves my baby as her own. I can't thank her enough for being so good to me and my baby and being so generous to us. I couldn't ask for more for her but good health always. π
`Okay. That would be all for today, my read cash family. Thank you for supporting me up until now. I appreciate every time you visit me and read my article. More blessings to all of you. Shalom! π`

Tips To Be Smarter in Expenses
*Hola read cash family. How are you all? I do hope that everyone is okay now and already having a good day. Whatever you are facing right now either good or bad, remember that God is always ready to extend his hands for you as help. Not literary his hands but he used people to meet our essentials in life. God bless you. π*
So for today, I would like to share with you the very first photo I saw in my Facebook account with a description that made me pause for a while to think and reflect on my case as a wife and a mother. For me, it's more important to follow these tips. π
Only buy what you need
To save money, we should never forget to buy only the essentials or the needs we need the most o to survive. Just like the food. We need to be extra careful on how we spend our finances and for us to be able to save money, the needed ones should be the priority. The wants are somewhat what we wanted to have but it's indeed not the important one. We can still buy those if we have lots of extra money. Besides, it depends on you. Remember to think wisely. It's not bad to buy those wants but if we are eager to save money more, then let us avoid to spent and buying those wants only. It's not important at all. In my case, as a mother, I spent my money wisely because we need to save money for our future especially since we have now a baby. Her needs are the most prioritized first in spending our money. Such as her vitamins and diaper are top on my list. No more extra stuff for myself. π
Avoid debt
I know that debt is not new to us in fact debt can also help us to survive but remember that too much debt can lead us to a miserable life. Our earnings or income will be just divided because we have debts and we need to pay for them. It's not free then. We should be responsible also to the person who lets us borrow money from. We should pay responsibly but please let us stop doing more debts such as debts here and there. It's not good at all. That would be the reason why we never prosper because of debts. Every time we have money though we have a plan to spend it for the needs of the family it turns out to pay for the debt. No more for the family instead. So, if we are mature enough to handle expenses, then we should avoid this kind of action to be prosperous.
Stick to your budget
Well as a mother and wife, I have to follow this. You know what, budgeting a small amount of money is not easy. You have to only stick to what's on the priority list. You have to buy those stuff that is already budgeted to avoid out of money. In my case, I have to buy only those things that are on my list. I need to do it because I don't have a choice but to spend the money that my husband gave me so that everything is just smooth. And also, our money that my husband from his work or his salary is not that much it only good for our essentials. But we are still able to set aside money for our savings which are the most important. Savings is life. π We need to be practical, especially just recently that the gasoline is too much high in cost. Or very expensive now. From 64-78 per liter. Imagine that? So there is no doubt that all the stuff or things to buy will also increase in their prices. Some are doubled in price from their original. How will be able to survive now? It is very sad by we have no choice then but to embrace the reality. That is why we need to be extra careful with our finances nowadays.
Keep track of your expenses and adjust them regularly
If you have happened that your expenses are getting bigger than the usual expenses that you usually have, just adjust it or them. Never buy things that are too pricey if you ever find a cheap one. Just be practical. As long as it is useful even if it is just a cheap price then it's okay. Also, if your daily expenses are much higher than the daily income that you have, it's not safe anymore. It's risky. Lol. You have to monitor your expenses as well so that you will not end up with anything left from your salary. You should be wise. The key is to adjust, adjust and adjust until you are now back on track again.
Living below your means
If you are good at saving money, then you are more responsible on how to live your life with the means that you have. And if you are a kind of a person that loves to buy expensive things then believe me or not your savings are not that numerous because you always follow the trend, especially the clothing. You keep on buying expensive and branded clothes just to be more look rich or presentable. But as for me, I prefer to buy cheap price clothes such as "ukay-ukay". For me, even if you buy clothes that are pricey if it's not good or fit for you then it is nicer to wear clothes that are at low cost and fits you. It's not about how pricey your clothing is but it is on how you wear it confidently. I don't know if I am right. Lol. I hope you get my point. (Beta kay mao na to) hahaha
Author's Thought:
As a general opinion, it still depends on you on how you are going to spend your money. It is still your choice after all. What I shared above is based on my own experiences. I just shared with you what's my way of spending my money on any expenses that we have. Those are just tips. A helpful tips indeed. At the end of the day, it is still your way that you follow. I know we have different ways how to spend our money. And it is good. Your money, your say, your actions. Just remember, to spend it wisely and don't forget to save money daily. Any amount can do. Time will come that the money you save either big or small amount, will still be useful. Believe me or not. I'm done with that or most of us. It is more important to save money no matter what. π
`That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and spending your time here. I highly appreciate your effort in reading this. Thank you so much. God bless you even more. Shalom! π`

I Miss my Childhood Friends.
Having friends in our childhood days is one of the most memorable that ever happened to us. The moment that we played together, teased each other, and the embarrassing moments that turns out the most unforgettable one. In my case, I do have two childhood friends; one boy and one girl. We were born in the same year which was 1993. I was born in February and my boy childhood friend too was in February and our one friend was born in March. Our parents are close friends too.
Way back in our childhood days, we had the same religion then. We were one of the kids who join a children's ministry at that time. We were active children members. We go to the church together and race to run if who arrived first inside the church and laughed after. I just missed those times.
When we were in our teenage days, we were still active youth members during that time. In every youth activity, we were the ones who participated the most and helped what was lacking just to make our activity a success. We helped the elder youths to prepare everything. We even compete with each other such as memorizing the new and old testament books on who is the least time consumed it. And mostly who won the competition was our girl friend because she is good at memorizing. She has a sharp mind to memorize everything. Lol. I was always the second and the boy was always the third. Lol. After, the competition we laughed backstage and teased each other. And comfort each other by saying 'better luck next time".
We also together to enter our 1st grade here in our elementary school located at our barangay. When we were about to promote to grade 2, this boy friend of ours was transferred to central school because his father was a teacher there. This boy graduated as a salutatorian in our grade school years. In our high school years, we both have the same school. But this boy was behind me one year. I was already in my second year and he was just a first-year student. We always see each other in school but since we are already in our teenage days, there was an awkward feeling at that time. I don't know why. π
This other friend of ours was transferred to another school because she stopped when we were in our 3rd year because during that time his father died. She decided to stop going to school because she doesn't move on yet. Teachers don't have a choice then. So, in other words, I was the one who graduated first in our high school years, followed by these two friends of mine.
Our boy friend graduated as Salutatorian again. I had no doubt why he achieved that success because he is indeed a smart guy. He was always on top during his reign in high school. I was always impressed by his achievements and felt proud too as her childhood friend.
College days came when I didn't have to study right away because we were just poor and can't afford my parents to send me to college. Also, my brother and sister were still studying college during that time. That's why I was a " tambay" after I graduated high school. This boy friend of ours, studied after he graduated high school. He took electrical engineering because his ultimate dream is to become a Registered Engineer. And through God's grace, he finished college and became a registered Engineer. He is a maintenance Engineer now in a well-known company. He was promoted last two years I think. At this moment, he is now temporarily residing at Butuan City as a maintenance Engineer. He is still single and ready to mingle. He is looking now for a girlfriend that might pass his standards. Hahhaha well, he just needs a simple and trustworthy woman who has also faith in Christ. And has already a stable job just like him. π
It was the year 2015 when I was able to enter college. I took up-secondary education. I graduated in the year 2019. And currently just a "tambay" again for the reason that I have a 1-year-old daughter. But still, I am striving to become a licensed teacher soon. π
This girl friend of ours wasn't able to study in college because of poverty too. Can't afford to just like me. She decided to go to Luzon to look for a job. Through God's grace, she found a job there. Currently working as a clerk at DOH (Department of Health). She also has a 4-year-old son. She is happy and blessed now.
I just missed these two friends of mine. My childhood friends. I know we already have priorities now but still, our friendship is there. We rare to see each other in person especially this girl friend of ours because she is in Manila working and has family there but we are still able to greet each other and ask about life through messenger chat. And this boy, we sometimes see each other in our church since we are still the same in religion. But sad to say, he rare to stay here in our place because of work. So, in the three of us, I was the one left here in our barangay reminiscing those places we usually played. I just missed them. π I just pray to God for their safety and protection wherever and whatever they do now. I am praying for their work to be more successful. I am also praying that one day, we will be able to see each other again. Laugh together. Teased each other. Eating our favorite snacks and talking about life. I hope and pray that one day in God's will. π
This photo was taken last 2016. This girl friend of ours wearing eyeglasses had the chance to go home here to our place because at that time her grandmother died. So, she decided to had a short vacay. This photo was taken also after the divine service in our church. The boy at the center is still single. He is an engineer. Maybe some of you might have the interest to be friends with him. Just let me know. π by the way I was the one wearing a white skirt and blue on top.
That would be all for today. Thank you and God bless. Shalom! π

Do Not Fear, For I am With You.
`Isaiah 41:10: God says to βfear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.`
Even since I started and decided to follow Christ when I was just in my teenage days, this Bible verse is my ultimate favorite. Every time I read this passage, I felt the love of God towards me. I felt secure and protected. I felt His presence.
**Fear Not!**
This promise of God is constantly found in the scriptures. It's been said countless times if you read a Bible. God always says the word "fear not" because He wanted us to be brave in terms of facing challenges, struggles, problems, tests, and even circumstances. All the negative thoughts and actions may we encounter in our lives is God securing us to fear nothing but to trust Him all the way. God will never give us such challenges if we can't surpass them. God knows our strengths and even weaknesses, therefore, He will give us the problems that eventually will be resolved because He knows that we can make and solve them, but of course with His help and guidance along the way. So why do we feel fear? Because human as we are, we can't avoid feeling that way every time we are in the middle of fighting our battles in life. We felt fear because what if we can't make it. What if we can't solve it. Our life had full of what-ifs that's why we oftentimes forget the powerful God that we have that everything will be settled. Thus, we should always remember that God is a faithful God. That He will never fail His promises. He is a God that is a promise keeper. We should trust His promises more than humans instead.
Strengthen you!
All of us have weaknesses that sometimes or most of us eat the inner being that sometimes causes us to get sick and do nothing inside our home. We don't want somebody will disturb us. We just wanted to stay at some corner thinking deeply thinking the ways how to exceed it. This promise of God in the verse itself magnifies that He will strengthen us every time we feel weak. He will give us the strength that we need to outweigh the loads we carry in our way. He doesn't want us to get down and never rise again instead He wants us to be strong enough to face the hardships of life and walk ahead from it. Walking with Him. Then, we should not be weak but we should be strong for God wanted us to be.
Help you!
Most of the time in our lives we experienced being in despair because we already feeling down and being so hopeless. Sometimes, we cry because we think that there's no exit when we have problems. We surrender and give up easily because we thought that it is impossible to solve problems especially when it is already massive. We forgot to look up and call God asking for help though even if we don't call Him, He will still help us to get out of the things that ruin us. He will still lay and extend His hands for us His beloved. We may see His hands literary but He uses people to receive solutions that we needed. That is God. He is willing to help. π
**Closing Thought:**
Trusting the promises of God is for me is the very best decision that we can do in our entire lives. Why? Because we can say that He is a good God and a faithful one. No one can ever replace His goodness forever.
Since then up until now, I am still holding onto this promise of Him because I know that He will never leave me. It's okay if my loved one will leave but what's more important is that God will never distance me. Will never get tired of me forever. He is my God. My savior and my father. ππ
That would be all for today. Thank you and God bless. Shalom!
After All, GOD is good.
***For all of the things that happened to our family just last February, I can't deny the truth that God is so so good. After all the hardships, trials, tests, and pain that we've been through, I can barely say that He never leaves. He never gives us the way to give up instead He always gives a way even it seems no way.***
Last month I can say that it's not a good month for me. Why? It is because two people were closer to us who had passed away or had been taken away by God.
Firstly, is my mother-in-law died of her illness so fast. We didn't expect that her illness was too severe already. Maybe because she didn't tell us what she really feels from the past few months before it became drastic. So that's why from the moment that she already told us the pain she felt, it was too late because it was already a stage 4 cancer. So, what would we do? It's too late already even though we still tried to draw her to the doctors but the doctors said it was a severe one already. So, we have no choice but to accept the reality that a few days or weeks to go she will be gone or died. Therefore, she passed away last week February 23, 2022. A sad farewell to her. As of now, we are already stronger and now facing the reality without her in our sight forever. For sure, she is in the hands of God**.**
Secondly, was my Uncle or the brother of my mother. He died just last week also February 26, 2022. He was being paralyzed months ago because of high blood pressure due to consistent drinking of liquors the reason why he was instantly attacked by high blood pressure. Months already he suffered from being so hard to take care of himself. He was left home with his son who's the one who took care of him until such time he had a hard time eating and drinking too. So no doubt that he will die that fast too. He was being buried yesterday. Sad to say I didn't have the time to visit him together with my sisters and mother because I felt exhausted too after the death of my mother-in-law.
Closing Thought:
Losing someone that has a special place in your heart is hard because you have to accept the reality that our life is not ours. We don't hold our life because God only holds it. We have no choice in the first place after all. What we need to do is to just embrace life all over again because it is still a beautiful place to live by even there are times that hardships come along our way. Though we experience hardships, we are still thankful to God for He never has the space to leave us. He is still with us through thick and thin. Ups and downs and everything seem so impossible to solve. God always makes a way. **After all, God is so good.**

Not so well but need to move on!
Hello my Read Cash family, how are you all? I am so sorry for being inactive for about five days for the reason that I am not so well. Not in terms of health but in terms of emotion. I know some of you already know it. Thank you for your understanding and comfort my dear friends here.
I already shared here regarding the health of my mother-in-law that lead her to death last February 23, 2022. The most heartbreaking news we heard. To be honest, my husband and I were still in grief up until this moment. We are still keeping ourselves to be strong regardless of what had happened to his mother especially him. I need to comfort him all the time. To remind him that "that is life". We need to accept it.
Just yesterday, our mother-in-law was already buried at the cemetery. The burial started at 1 pm and after the mass was directly headed to the cemetery. Some people were just walking and most people were riding a motorcycle or a vehicle. Me and my husband together with our baby just riding our motorcycle. We just bought an umbrella to ease the heat of the sun. Good thing that the weather yesterday was good the reason that everything went so well.
At the cemetery, there were lots of people who sympathized with us since my mother-in-law was a good person too. She had lots of memories to be remembered by. Their presence helps us to just remain calm though we can't hide to shed a tear because who wouldn't miss someone that will never be seen forever? Who wouldn't miss someone who will not be together with us building memories? So, it's normal to cry. To weep. I comforted my husband. Caressing his back is a sign that I care for him and I'm always here together with our baby. He didn't weep harder but only his sisters. Maybe because men usually don't like to weep in front of many people. Or maybe they were shy. I just saw in his eyes that were already swollen when he was taken off his sunglasses. I felt pity then. He already had no parents now. His father was already passed away when he was just five years old. And now, his mother. So sad to hear but I know there is always a purpose for everything.
For now, I always reminded my husband and even his sisters to just stay strong and be brave enough to start a new beginning. I know it's not easy at all but that would be the best thing to do. I added that they should keep praying to God for a stronger faith and protection wherever they would go.
Today, they will start their day without their beloved " Nanay" and I know it's a strange feeling when we know that we usually live under the care of our mother. But, we have no choice but to create new memories. In other words, life must go on. Moving forward and smiling again starting today. Life is still beautiful to live after all. π
CLOSING THOUGHT:
It hurts to lose someone you know that has been a deep part of your life and that is your beloved parents. And the sad truth is that you will never see him/her forever. It's so painful to accept. It will take time to heal the wounds in your heart. Time will heal as they said. But at the end of the day, it is still God whom we need to give thanks for all the pain that we have right now.
There is often a reason for everything why it all happened. There is a purpose why this pain marks in our hearts. Well, this pain will be gone soonest. Yes not now, but very soon through God's help. π
That would be all for today. Thank you so much all. I highly appreciated your comfort and your sympathy. God bless you. Shalom! π

Rest in Peace!
Philippians 1:21: For to me to live is ChristΒ and to die is gain.
It simply implies that living with Christ is the best thing that we can ever experience while we are still living and when we die, it doesn't mean we are a loser of how we live life instead it is a victory because you know in you that you are with Christ. And knowing that living in Christ is more than like winning a lottery. It means that your soul is safe because we are with the Son of God. The Redeemer and our Savior. So, if we die, it's not a problem at all. It is a victory. π
Hello, read cash family. How are you? How's your day? I do hope that you are all okay. Regarding the Bible verse above, my topic for today is related to death. I know that some of you already know regarding the health condition of my mother-in-law. Right? Since I already shared here about it. I will not also hesitate to share with you the latest update of my mother-in-law.
It was just yesterday when we know the news. It was evening already. My husband came home from work around past 6 pm. When he arrived, I let him take care of our baby because I need to cook our dish that evening. While I'm cooking, my baby and my husband had their quality time together playing and laughing. His phone was on the silent mode the reason why he didn't answer the phone calls of her sister. My sister-in-law was also calling on my phone but I didn't hear any call because I was busy cooking in the kitchen. I was not with my phone.
After cooking, I called my husband to eat. When we were at the table starting to eat, my phone suddenly rang because of a phone call. And it was his sister calling. My husband went outside our house and start talking. His sister told him that their mother was already passed away at 5 pm. My husband as he back inside our house and join us to eat, saw in his eyes that he cried even I didn't see it in my eyes that he did but it is obvious that he cried. So, I told him to just be calm. I comforted him saying "*it's okay, we are here for you".* And he nodded.
After done eating, we dress up and went to my mother-in-law's house together with our baby. It was 8 pm when we arrived there. The place is still dark because it doesn't have yet electricity. The electricians are still fixing it. When we arrived there, his sisters are already there. They didn't cry maybe they are done crying because I saw in their eyes already swollen. I was about to cry when I saw Nanay lying and still covered with cloth but I suppressed myself to do not. Just a shed of tear. I calm myself and just inhale deeply. I pray to God lifting everything to Him.
The whole family was mourning because one member has already been taken away from us by God. At the same time, we feel happy because Nanay will no longer suffer from her illness. We know that she went so much. She already suffered and was tired. At least now that she is now in the hands of God, she is now free from her illness. No more pain. No more struggle. No more stress. No more problem. We know that Nanay is already happy now and we are happy too.
We know that missing someone is not easy, it is very painful. But what we can do? We don't hold her life. It is not our life indeed. It just borrows from God. So, only He has the authority to when He will take it.
May her soul rest. Yes, she may be gone in our sight, but she will always be in our hearts forever. Her memories will remain treasured in our hearts. We will surely miss her. Her kindness and generosity will be forever engraved in each of us. We are so thankful for everything she did for her family. Her children and grandchildren, especially.
WE LOVE HER SO MUCH.
That would be all for today, my read family. Thank you for reading and dropping by. Your sympathy will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

2-22-22 is One of Our Happiest Days.
Hello! My, read cash family. How are you? Are you all well? I am apologizing for not being active yesterday it was because I felt like I wanted to just lay in bed for the whole day for I am not well fine. My body seems don't cooperate to help me motivate to write and read some articles. I felt lazy to make my day a productive one. Yesterday, I was just keeping myself entertained by watching funny videos and scrolling up and down my FB account until such time that I felt bored, I dress up my baby and photograph her to divert my feeling of being tired or just to say being "lazy". I know some might of you relate to me. That feeling that you just wanted to be free and just feel the day without any stressors around. I can't explain. Just do understand that feeling tho. Lol.π
Yesterday has an amazing date of 2-22-22. You know what? It's our favorite number with my husband. It's our number because it was date 22 when I decided to be committed to him and leave my ex just to be with my husband. This is the date that it became our memorable one until these days. We can't forget this number 22 for it is also our wedding date. π₯°
I know that some of us consider this number 2-22-22 as a lucky day. As I read some posts on social media, this number is said to be a lucky day. Maybe some might believe it. Some of you already wrote an article regarding this number and shared experiences. And I do appreciate that. We have differences in how we view life but as for me, I don't believe in fortune, I strongly believe in God's Providence and Blessing.π
Yesterday, I considered it also as one of the happiest days of our lives. Do you want to know why? Are you sure? Are you ready? Lol.
Well, yesterday was just a normal and simple day for me. As I said above, I felt lazy to do something productive yesterday so that's why I just lay in bed while looking after my baby's kakulitan. Hehehe
Since you are ready to know what was happened yesterday why I considered it as one of our happiest days is because after 2 months and 6 days of waiting patiently for the light to be back, finally we already have electricity again just yesterday. yehey!!! π please do congratulate us. π I was so happy after the electrician or shall we call them the ***" heroes of lights"*** fixed everything in our barangay the necessities to be done just for us to experience the electricity again after typhoon Odette clash them all.
It was 3 in the afternoon yesterday when I heard our neighbor shouting and shouting saying *" siga na"* in our dialect (bisaya) And in English, it means that " the electricity is back". See? Amidst the silence of the afternoon, because most people were taking a nap or rest, we were jumping out in bed and went outside our house to confirm it was true. We thought that it was just a prank or just a practice. Lol. But, our neighbors said it was not a joke. So, what we did was turn on our electric breaker and hop for joy because it was real. The lights are back. We were deeply happy. We were excited. We were beyond grateful. π
Since the electricity was back we hurriedly charge our mobile phones, electric lamps, and power bank to secure because it might be temporary only. So we just need to make sure that it is already fully charged if there are still power interruptions. But so far so good, until evening and until now, there are no power interruptions. We are so thankful for all the "heroes of lights " for doing their best to make sure that everything is fixed. You know what, they fixed it for about 6 days only here in our barangay because they said that there are lots of damages, especially to the seashore side of our place. It was clashed by the typhoon Odette. So that's why they took almost a week fixing it.
We are so thankful to them and most of all to God for giving them protection and enough knowledge to repair all. For safety every time they touched the wires and every time they were on the electric post climbing to repair the damages there. I am so amazed as well at their abilities to do so. For repairing what was needed to. A SALUTE TO THEM. π·ββοΈ
So far, that would be all I can share with you regarding the date itself 2-22-22. I already shared why I considered it as one of the happiest days of our lives because it marks the new start of our life. We can now start what we want using electricity since it's back. We no longer visit other barangay just to charge our mobile phones and electric stuff. Also, no need to pay 20 pesos for the engine generator for us to be able to charge our electric stuff. Besides, no more darkness in the night. We can now see everything in every corner inside the house.
In addition, for sure, there would be an unlimited sing-along everywhere in the barangay because I know most of us missed it. π
That would be all for today. God bless you all. Shalom! π
*Background from: CANVA APP*
Double Celebration: Just find out!
*Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is the day when we can have time to rest after the long weekdays of working striving for our goals in life. It is indeed the day that most of us spend our Sunday going to church worshipping God alone our Creator of all the seen and unseen creatures on earth. We can also celebrate this day as a family day because most members of the family are taking their day off on this day and spend their day with their families. One of those people who spent their rest day is my dear husband. It's our quality time to be as a family. That's why this day which is Sunday is my favorite day of my life.*
Well, yesterday which is Sunday two celebrations happened. It's was a dedication and 1st birthday of my niece's daughter. Her mother is my sister. So, therefore, my niece's daughter is my grandchild too. (wow, apo is real na ako) lol. It was a joint celebration because my niece was working away from home. She is working at Cagayan De Oro City while her daughter is left home by her mother and siblings. She just sent money for the baby's necessities and the whole family as well. She is the breadwinner of the family too. So, last Saturday she just went home to attend her baby's milestone. That is why the celebrations were being joint just yesterday.
The celebrations happened in the afternoon. The dedication was held at our mother church since our church was still under construction. The baby was being dedicated by our Pastor. They started at 3 PM because they need to travel first for about 30 minutes from their home. Our mother church is located in our neighbor's town. They began the dedication on time. The baby's sponsors were incomplete because some were working away from our province and some were busy I think. The dedication went so well. Finally, after one year, the baby was being dedicated to God. Everyone was happy and blessed most especially the mother of the baby. By the way, the father of the baby was not around because he is working abroad as my niece said. We haven't seen the father of the baby since then. Even in their social media. They don't expose the father in public because as my niece said " privacy is power". We don't know why but maybe there's a hidden agenda about it. Lol. Kidding aside. π
Right after the dedication, we head right away to the reception which is located in our town. The place is just simple. The decoration as well. The birthday theme is a unicorn.
There were tons of sweets. You can eat them as much as you want to.
We enjoyed the food so much. Our tummies were full. And we were satisfied.
My baby felt it's her day too. Look at her. π
The double celebration went so fine. We had a great time spending our Sunday. We made our day beyond thankful after the occasion. We were grateful to God for the occasions that were being done successfully through His grace and blessings. π
*That would be all for today. That was my yesterday Sunday went. Thank you for reading. God bless you all. Shalom! π*
Just Know Me Better.
*Hola! Read cash community and friends here. How are you all? Are you doing good today? Are you having a good start to the day? If not, it is okay. Remember that there are still more days to start a new one. To start something different from others. Keep in mind that you are unique, special, and loved by our perfect God. Don't worry. Be happy. π*
As I read articles today I found something new again on my thought. My attention from doing reading was turned to writing because I found the one article I read was far more interesting to share with. Especially in myself. I want to share more about myself here. I know that some of you want to know me better. Then okay, I will share some. π
Before that, I just want to give my sincerest thank you to @Dreamboy for sharing his life here on this platform. I am amazed by every information that he shares regarding his existence. I appreciate his life so well. By him, I found content to write now since it captures my interest too. π Arattt Nah! π
MY FAMILY AND CHILDHOOD
well, I already shared here how many we are in the family. For those who don't know, we are 12 of the family excluding our parents. We are just in the average class kind of family. It's enough for us to eat 3x a day as long as we didn't get hungry at all times. As long as our tummy has something to digest and that is sufficient for us. My parents were hardworking, especially our late father. He always makes sure that we can eat at the right time. He always makes a way to provide everything. But sad to say, he was not anymore with us. He was already in the hands of God 13 years ago. My mother as well as a full-time housewife. She is always at home taking care of us even her grandchildren too.
My childhood also was so fun. I enjoyed my childhood days especially since I am one of those "Batang 90's". I know that some of you can relate to me if you are a batang 90's too. Being one of them was a remarkable day of our lives because of the games that we had the time. We can't forget those games. It was so memorable. At that time, there were no gadgets yet. Maybe there are some but most of us can't afford to buy it yet. Therefore, we were focused to enjoy and play anything in that years. In other words, for me, Batang 90's are the best generation so far.
MY STRENGTH/S
Well, of course, my strength is my own family. I can't afford to lose them. They are my source of strength. The reasons why I stay optimistic no matter how tough it is. They make me happy now and then. They make me believe that life is beautiful.
MY WEAKNESSES
All of us have weaknesses. We feel weak of course if we encounter those hardships. For me, my weaknesses are the same as my strength. If they are the source of my strength, they are also the reason for my weakness, especially to my baby. If she gets sick, I am not comfortable. I am full of worries. I can't resist myself to think of negative thoughts. That's why, if my daughter gets sick, I need to be strong and do everything for my baby so that she will be fine.
MY FUTURE PLAN IN LIFE
All of us have a plan already for our future. Who doesn't have? My plan in life or my greatest desire is to have our own home/house. Who wouldn't have the desire of having this? especially for those who have their own family already. I am aiming for this kind of plan because I have my own family. Ever since I got married, I desired to have our own little home. I don't need a luxurious house. A simple house is enough for me. What's important is that my family is healthy and at the same time happy. No more stressors around. π
That plan would be only realized soon. My husband and I should do our best first now to make it realized. I know nothing is impossible. I am 100% sure about that. God always provides. π
Closing Thought:
I know that we have differences from our family, strength, weakness, and plan. We have differences in how to deal life with. On how to remain optimistic yet still humble in every aspect. We should not forget to stay down to earth if our plans in life will be reached so that the blessings will be greater as time passes by. We should not forget to thank God above all everything we ask for. He is the most deserving one to receive glory and honor. π
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading. God bless you all. Shalom!
Thanks, my dear sponsors. You are so good and generous. Special mention to sis @Sequoia for the renewal. God bless you more sis and thank you. π

Putting God first is Everything!
I woke up early in the morning because as usual I prepare or cook our breakfast. I am the one who did it while my baby and husband were still in bed sleeping. I am the kind of person that loves to wake up early in the morning because the elders said that it is better to get up early and start the day doing the chores and you have many things to do if you wake up early.
so, I cook our food and call my husband after I'm done. My baby woke up in a good mood. She's smiling and active.
As my husband was going out for work and my baby was being borrowed from my Nieces, I got the chance to open my phone and scroll up and down to my Facebook account until I found and read this quotation that got my attention.
As stated that " *Getting money is one thing but putting God first is everything.* " after I read this passage, I pause for a while and reflect on it. It came up to my mind that having or getting money is indeed one thing and that is a fact that money can give you happiness in every aspect of your life. It can give us satisfaction in every small or big thing no matter what it is. In fact, without money, our life would be so boring because we can't buy and get what we need and wants. We can't give ourselves something that can make our day.
But as for me, above all, if putting God first in everything, there is the assurance that He will give you everything you desired for. It will just everything will fall into place. And that is what we always look forward to and prayed for as the Bible says in ***Matthew 6:33 Seek Ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you***. See? This is one of the promises of God that those people who will seek Him first will be rewarded or be beyond blessed.
I am always trying my best to put God first in everything just like when I get up in be in the morning but the laziness to pray in Him is the reason why I can't proceed to my morning devotion which is what I only wanted to do every morning. I don't know but there are times that we can't obey what God asks us to do so for all of us. Our excuse is always to say that we are just human. Not perfect, Not Holy, unlike God who is Holy and Powerful. Every time I can't do my morning devotion, I felt I was failed all over again. I can't help myself but just ask God for an apology for not prioritizing Him early in the morning which is indeed very important. What I did to decline the devotion even though I know that it is such a great feeling to put God first. It can heal every wound that you have. It can light up the darkness of life that you through. God is indeed can be trusted in everything around in this world.
If you put God first in everything like in the morning, your life would be so happy even until evening. Feels like you are always happy. You are always smiling at every person you meet for that whole day. You can't express the joy inside your heart. All you know is that God blesses you that day because you put Him first in everything you do on that day. Believe me, it is not a waste of time if you pray to Him first in the morning. Instead, it is the best thing to do as Christians. π
**SIMPLE ADVICE:**
If you want to have everything in your life, never forget God. The creator and owner of our existence. The future, present, and past God. he is still the same. No changes. He is still the God that we can trust. Never miss the chance to communicate with God through prayer. he is surely waiting for you. He is always listening. remember that He will reward those people who obey Him.

Happy 100 Subs!
*Hello readers, how are you? Are you doing good? Remember that, you are special and loved by our God. Just keep going in life. Trust Him as always. For sure, He will give you the desires of your heart. You are blessed. π*
As I open my read cash account just this morning I was extremely happy and can't help myself to smile for joy because finally after 6 months of being here in this family, I already have 100 subscribers. I know this is unlike the other users who easily got more subscribers than mine it is because, to be honest, I am not so active like them. I am too busy in our house doing household chores and most of the time taking care of my baby. Especially now that she can walk anywhere and pick up pieces of things which I need to look her so tight. To avoid accidents.
I am just so glad to see my account having 100 people who like and trust me.
I am so thankful to all of the people who subscribe to me. I will be beyond grateful for putting their trust in me even there are times that my article doesn't have any sense. Lol. I feel so blessed that I reached this. Even though I am far from other users but for me, this is a great achievement because read.cash is now part of my daily routine. When I woke up early in the morning, read.cash is always I got to open first before any social media account I do have. I don't know but I am so happy in every notification I read, in every good content and good news I read too.
I am just so glad that this family helps me a lot. Not just in terms of earning bch but the people around here that are so friendly and sociable to others. Very kind, generous, and a good adviser in every aspect or every difference that our article could share or give to each of us.
There are articles that we learned from their experiences that we can apply also to our way of living. And that greatly gives a big impact on us. As for me, I learned a lot from the articles I read. And that learning, I apply it in myself especially if the content is related to family which also has the advice to avoid toxic people that may ruin our lives and they can't give good sense to us. That is why I am happy and blessed that I found this platform. This new family I am into. Most importantly to those people who subscribe to me, upvoted my article, became my sponsor, and most especially to our green generous friend, Mr. Rusty.
Thank you so much all for making me feel special and valued in this little thing that I could also call that this is an ACHIEVEMENT. Such a very big help to us to those who don't have any job yet.
Looking forward to more years on this platform. More blessings to those people behind this and more success as well. I can't thank you all enough. No words could I express this achievement of mine. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH! π₯°
PS: *Please do accept my apology for being inactive these two days because I was a bit busy preparing myself for the battle I am facing soon. I am praying for the success of this. ππ*
To my lovely sponsors, thank you for still believing in me. For sticking with me. I promise to grind more. π God bless you all. Shalom! π

My Valentine's Day!
Hello, readers community? How was your valentines day? Did you receive anything from your loved ones? We're you happy? Or your day was a normal day?
As for me, my Valentine's day was cute. I never thought that my husband will still give me presents for me. π I don't have any idea that he still did it since 2009 when we were together. π
Storytime........
I woke up yesterday just a normal day but I still greet him before I got up in bed to prepare our breakfast. He responded too.
The whole morning, I was just using my phone browsing my FB account and I saw lovers that receive already flowers, chocolates, balloons, and even a handwritten love letter. Too cute as I saw them happy receiving them. And me, I just said to myself "Sana All". Lol.
I felt a light envious to that couple that celebrates love hearts day but I always tell myself now that our status is already changed. We have already a baby that we need to prioritize first her needs. Her essentials as she grows up. Also, we were boyfriend-girlfriend for 10 years. We were done with that. Almost valentines day we celebrated it before by having dinner. In short, we were done dating back then. I always received flowers every valentines day because my husband before was romantic too. And this time that we're married, he is still romantic but unlike before. Lol. But I am still thankful.
Evening comes it's already 7 pm and my husband doesn't home yet. I was a bit worried because he wasn't still around. He didn't even call me where he is. So, it comes to my mind that maybe he buy something for me. Maybe he will still give me presents since it's valentines day.
A few moments later, he arrived home safely. I call him to get inside and eat our dinner. He then gets inside and brought nothing. Lol. When I saw him, I was a little sad because I thought I will receive anything from him. But I was wrong. Lol.
Later on, he asked me to get his bag and get his phone inside. As I opened the bag, I was like OMG π±, is this real? Is this for me? I saw one piece of rose, 1 piece of Hershey chocolate, and a gift bag.
He teased me it's not all mine. It was all from his workmate. And I said " *weh? Sure uy. ?!* And he laughed. Too cute π₯° As he eats our dinner, I thank him for what he gave to me. I said to him, *I thought I will no longer receive anything from you today. I thought my Valentine's day will just be done without something from you. But I was wrong. You still give me. You still make me feel special as you always did before. You are so thoughtful and I appreciate it. Thank you so much, papalove. π₯° you're so sweet. π*
He replied, *it is my pleasure because I love you ever since before. As long as I have money why not I wouldn't give you something that makes you happy. It's not impossible. Actually, every day is valentines day or Heart's day. Every day I love you. He added, the gift bag inside that is my late birthday gift for you. So, please forgive me for giving you a late birthday gift.*
I felt so blessed and flattered by what he said. He never fails to surprise me since before until now that we are already married and have already a baby. I felt so loved and valued by his deeds. That's why I am so blessed to have him. I couldn't ask for more from him but only protection and safety every day. π
That would be all for today my virtual friends. That's all I can share with you regarding my valentines day. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you all. Shalom! π

The Unexpected Proposal: Part 2
Hello, readers. Sorry if I wasn't able to publish this last night because I was tired and I sleep early because I was busy the whole day watching over my baby walking around the house of my Ate. We were gathered together yesterday because it was Sunday. We used to gather every Sunday at my Ate's house because every Sunday she used to prepare lunch for all of us after our divine service at church. It's been our call time to gather and just bond together with my other sisters and brothers. To those who have only a vacant time. In other words, Sunday is family time. So, please forgive me for I didn't keep my promise. βHeres now the second part of the wedding proposal. Let's begin.π by the way, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! π₯°π
As we were traveling, we do have more random conversations. I even ask how much is the price of the phone and as always he didn't tell me. So what I did I search on Google and looked for the price. Lol. It's a good thing that the price did not cost too much. Not amounting to 10,000 because I don't want to waste his money. I prefer to just save it but he said that *"money can't buy happiness". Look at your face, you are so happy to receive the gift I had for you. I didn't mind if I can expense that much because I love to give especially when it comes to you. π₯° I a much happier if I see you smiling and happy. What I did was that it's just a reward for all your hard work from school. Even if you are still now doing your practice teaching. I know that you are almost there to your dream. So just keep going. I am always here for you. Also, money is just there. We can still find it. So, don't worry. Okay?*
This was exactly what he said during that time. I can still remember this. I was flattered and overwhelmed by what he said. In fact, he is right that money can't buy happiness. So, I just thank him beyond measure for what he said and for what he did for me.
Inside the bus, since I carry a bouquet of roses, he took me a picture while carrying it. I love the results of the camera. It is indeed that Oppo is the selfie expert kind of mobile phone. Lol. After three hours of traveling from our City, we finally arrived at our destination. First, we moved in at McDonald's since its already lunchtime when we came there. He ordered our meals and we had a happy time eating our lunch and I was still carrying the bouquet. Lol. We took pictures again inside the store because it was our first time to experience together in the store and because our City doesn't have McDonald's. Only Jollibee.
After we had eaten our lunch, we decided to go to Robinson Mall to watch a movie in Cinema world. We rode a motor car to go there. ( I was still holding up the flower ) As we were about to take our entrance to the mall, I was getting nervous because what if I can't go inside because of the flowers I have. Lol. Thanks to Kuya Guard because he let me in. He said that there was no problem at all. Lol. ahahhaha I thought they were strict. Lol π
We were inside the mall. Strolling around. Went window shopping only because I don't have lots of money to shopping, I was still a student. And you know that as a student, our cash is just limited or shall I say budgeted only for the expenses in school. Regardless of those rich students. In my case, my cash is just intended for school papers and food. (Pity self) I was envious at that time. Lol.
I was still holding my flowers while roaming around. Some people were staring at me. I don't know what they think. But as for me, I am proud that I had a bouquet in my arms. I felt so special and loved. I felt I was the prettiest woman inside the mall. I just ignored them on what they thought of me.
Later on, it was past noon when we decided to watch now a movie. We headed to the fourth floor of the mall I think the Cinema can be found. So we headed there by using the escalator and I was looking around the mall. I was still amazed and happy upon seeing the people and the different stores inside. At that time, COVID was not existing. So, you can see inside the mall from Kids to Adults and foreigners too. How I wish I could turn back time and just be living just like that time. Just a normal way of living. No protocols. No facemask. No restrictions. Just a happy life. (How I wish.)
Fast forward......
We were inside the Cine and we brought popcorn as our snacks while watching the movie. We watched the movie by Vhong Navarro entitled " UNLI LIFE". We had chosen this movie to watch since it was the trend. Also, we love to watch comedy movies. We love to laugh. I want to release my pressure and stress from school during that time. That's why we decided to watch that movie. It's perfect timing too.
It was our first time watching a cine together. The first time he watch a movie was when he was in Davao. And my first time too was in Manila. So, this time it was our first time together watching inside the Cine. As you know, inside the Cine is dark and very silent. Only you can hear is the sound of the movie itself. You also need to watch your step because it's too dark. You can't see anything in your footsteps. Lol.
We decided to sit in at the back because the chairs at the back are elevated. And we like it. It was our timing because the movie is about to start then. I can hear the very loudspeaker inside the cine that seems to connect in your heart. Lol. I just can't explain the happiness I had that time. Finally, our plan to watch a movie together was already done and realized. Thanks to my husband. π
As we watched, we keep on smiling and laughing. As you know that Vhong Navarro is a comedian actor. Right? He used to act in a funny thing. He is similar to Sir Dolphy Ehehehehe π My tummy was about to ache because the movie was very funny. We keep on laughing and I can't hold my chuckle. Lol. I don't care.
People also there were kept on laughing. All of us inside. When the movie was ended, I was about to stand when my boyfriend (husband now) grabbed my hands. I was shocked and asked why? I insisted that the movie is already done. We must go. Then he responded " please sit first. I have something to tell you. " so, I sit and obey him. I asked him why his hands are too cold? Then he replied that because I have something to ask you. So, I listened to him everything he says with a trembling voice ( obvious he was very nervous) while kneeling beside me with a small box opened. I saw the ring inside. Hehehehe
Until he said that " ***for the longest years that we spent together, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with you if you'd want to. I will not force you to take this. I just want you to know that I just can't keep myself loving you every day. You are my happiness. The love of my life. My answered prayer and an ideal wife. And I want to sleep beside you every day and wake up beside you in the morning. I want to make more memories with you as we are still alive. I want you to become the mother of my soon-to-be children and I want you to be my wife. Miss (my name) WILL YOU MARRY ME?***
My reaction that time was like these emojisπ²π₯Ίππ±πππ₯°. I was about to cry but I hold it. I don't want people will notice. Lol. Without any doubt, I give him my **YES.** I told him to yes of course. I will surely be your wife and the mother of your soon-to-be kids. He was smiling, kissed me (smack only), and hugged me saying THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU. He wears the ring for me. I was much happier about what had happened. Finally, we were about to tie the knot soon. It was our dream too. After 9 years of being together, we were finally engaged. π₯°
His wedding proposal was just very simple. We were the only ones who know it. What I like about his proposal was that he wanted to have a sincere yet not so romantic but for me it was. To be honest, my ideal proposal is not to be in a public audience. I don't want everyone will see and witness it just like others it is because I always put this in mind I am not a celebrity. Lol. I'm not that too pretty for the extravagant kind of proposal. As for me, simplicity is being unique and being sincere. I want to be done in private too. And that's what he did. I also said to him for the past years, that someday if you are going to propose, I don't want to be in public. I want to just only us. No one will involve. So, that's what he did it. π€
After what he did, I thank him too. I thank him for proposing to be his lifetime partner. To be his forever. I appreciate all his efforts. Everything he did just to make our 9th Anniversary special. And I love it so much and I am so much thankful to God on that day.
Okay, that would be all guys. Finally, I shared it already. So, please do appreciate it. Hehehe π Thank you for reading. God bless you all. Shalom!

The Unexpected Proposal
Hello readers, how are you? Tomorrow it's valentines day already. Are you excited? Do you already have any presents for your loved ones? Any plans?
*Anyway, my content for today is still about love specifically what happened to my husband's wedding proposal way back in 2018. I want to share it with you now since some of you already know the plot of the story. I even didn't share this on my social media account because I don't want it. I don't everybody will now. It's better to remain private. But here in reading cash, I boldly share this with you cause I know the people here are kind and appreciative. No bad comments, no criticism, and no judgments. Just a positive one. hehe okay, let's feel the love. π₯°*
Way back August 21, 2018, the unexpected proposal happened. I was in fourth-year college at that time taking up my practical or student teaching journey since I was an education student. Practice teaching is a pre-requisite before you will graduate. I was teaching Grade 8 students during that time.
Before that day, August 20, 2021, my boyfriend called me asking me a favor. He ask me if I wanted to go to Ormoc City as we will celebrate our 9 years of being girlfriend and boyfriend together. This is also our desire and dream to travel together on a long trip. From our City, we need to ride a VAN or a Bachelor bus to go there and it will take 3 hours travel. This City in the Philippines is one the most progressive and richest City. The acting Mayor there is no other than Hon. Richard Gomez. The most famous actor and at the same time a celebrity in the Philippines.
Without any doubt, I said, yes, since I love traveling. I love to see and witness beautiful places along our way and of course, I love to travel with him as I lay my head on his shoulders. (wow sweet) lol. Our 9th anniversary was on August 22, but sad to say we can't celebrate it together because I was busy. Therefore, we decided to celebrate it before the day and it was August 21 fortunately, this day is a special holiday here in the Philippines. I was free from school works that day.
August 21, 2018, I woke up early around 4 am because I need to fix myself and prepare my things to bring for our *f*irst-time long trip. I was at my boarding house at that time and I need to travel for 1 hour before I arrived in our City. We agreed that we will just meet in the City terminal for us to have a convenient place to meet with each other.
So, at 5 am, I waited for a bus. In an hour, I arrived at our meeting place. He wasn't there. I look for him but he wasn't there. I called him and he said he is on the way. So, I waited for a minute. Suddenly, he startled me in my back bringing a bouquet. My reaction was "Oh My Gosh" is this real? Is this for me? Lol. Ahahah I can't believe that he gave me a bouquet of flowers in front of many passengers inside the van. I was inside the van at that time while waiting for him. So, I accepted the flowers. I smell it and I love it because it was all red rose. My favorite flower.
The van driver came near to us asking if we are in a hurry. And we said, yes. So the driver offered to transfer us to a bachelor bus since the bus is going to Ormoc City. So we run hurriedly to the bachelor bus while carrying the flowers and a shoulder bag because the bus is about to leave. Thankfully we ride in inside.
As we were there inside the bus, my boyfriend (husband now) greet me with "Happy Anniversary" and I responded to it too. To my surprise, he took his bag and seems to look for something inside. I didn't know that he has still a gift for me. He asked me to close my eyes. And as he said "open" I slowly open my eyes and was surprised by what I saw. I saw a box. And guess what's inside? It was a brand new mobile phone. It was Oppo A83. That unit at that time was a best seller. It was a new release phone from Oppo. I can't imagine he gave me a cellphone even I don't ask for it. I was about to cry because it was my favorite phone during that time too. I thank him so much because of the present I receive from him. The happiness I felt that time can't be measured. It was unfathomable.
As I open the phone, we took pictures together inside the bus. I was the happiest woman at that time. Also, I badly needed a phone at that time to be used I was on practice teaching and I need to capture photos of my students as documentation. My husband already knew it. Maybe, that was his gift to me. A perfect timing gift. π₯°
Hello, friends. I will cut this topic now because I need to go first to church. It's Sunday and my husband will scold me if I still using my phone. I promise to publish part 2 this evening. π€
That would be all for this time. Thank you for reading. Until the next part. Have a blessed Sunday to all of you. Shalom! π

Love Letter For You: #ValentineDayChallenge2022
Hello, Valentine's Day is fast approaching. What's the plan? Did you receive any presents in advance now? In my case, I don't know if this upcoming valentines day is as special as me because for me since I was married and having a baby already, my valentines day is just a normal day. We used to buy the essentials first in our family rather than buying those bouquet of flowers and bunches of chocolates. Our situation now has changed. We buy the most needed one. Unlike before when we were just boyfriend girlfriend, we used to celebrate valentines day by eating dinner in a restaurant while carrying the present I received such as flowers, balloons, teddy bears, and chocolates. I am done with that. Imagine, for 10 years being a girlfriend boyfriend, who would never try. So, in other words, we are done with that with my husband now. And this coming valentines day, I don't think so if my husband will still give me some. It's up to him. Lol. I am just waiting. Lol.
For my part as his wife, I just want to give a love letter to him. Ever since before we were still girlfriend boyfriend, I always give a letter to him on every occasion. I even made a photo album with a message in every photo. I don't know but I prefer to write a letter to him. For me, it is sweeter than any gift. When you write, you know that it comes from the deepest part of your heart. You can express what you want through writing. And that is too cute. π€
He also gave me a love letter before. He gave it rarely but every time I read it, I feel so much prettier. Lol. I feel so blessed. I am flattered. I don't know maybe it was mixed with jokes. Lol.
This time, I want to write a letter again to him. Since I am into writing a love letter, I want him to receive again a letter all over again that comes and is made by me. (His wife now). Ever since we get married, I never wrote a letter to him maybe because we are always together that it seems so awkward if he will read it besides me. Unlike before, he will just read the letter when he was at home. He will just call me if he is done reading. And thank me for the effort and love. π€
So, now I want to do my entry for a #ValentineDayChallenge2022. The main source of this prompt from @PVMihalache @Infinity and @jane. Thank you all for this wonderful prompt. It really makes sense especially that it is love month. Love is everywhere. π
Okay, without further delay, let us start. Let's start writing a letter for my lover.
I will let my husband read this letter after I published this. π
**Dear Papalove,**
Hello, papalove, how are you? How's your work? I know you are tired for the whole day. I know you want to rest already but I want you to know that this letter is made especially for you. I know this is somewhat corny but know that this is from my heart. Just bear it na lang. π okay?
For almost 13 years being in a relationship, I've been blessed enough for having you in my life. Way back in 2009, you entered my life unexpectedly. I don't know why I was lovestruck by you even if we both feel love through the phone calls only. I don't know why I've fallen for you. I don't know why it all happened. Maybe because true love can't be explained and can't be measured? But how did we feel the same at that time? We both had lovers during that time. We both commit our lovers but we still choose to stay with each other and made a hard decision so that we will be both free from our lover's arms and care. We ended hurt our lover's feelings. We gave them scars into their hearts. They never forgive us because of what we did to them but thankfully, as the year went by, they slowly accepted the truth. The real situation between us even if they had a hard time moving on in the first place. But as we said, they had no choice but to accept it. We both love each other and deeper when we meet in person.
We are already married running three years this year, I hope that our love towards each other will still be increasing as time goes on even how tough life is. I know that love isn't enough but I have proof to you that I love you which is I give you a lovely baby, our firstborn daughter that looks like a girl version of you.
I just want you to know that I am exceedingly blessed and grateful for having you as my husband and father to my daughter. You will do anything and everything just for the sake of our family. Even if you will still try to a risky situation just for us. Just to sustain and provide us with our necessities especially for our baby. I am much proud that you will do any kind of work as long as it is legal. I haven't heard that you complain. You continue working as you can. In short, you are a hard-working man. A passionate kind of husband. I love the way how you make us laugh. Your funny jokes have an impact on me. You made me smile. And felt love all over again.
I thank you for being such a responsible papa to our baby. You will cook her favorite soup which is "tinolang isda" which made her appetite high to eat more. You will also cook for me. Know that I appreciate everything you do. I admire how you view life even if we experienced a hard time earning or having finances. You always tell me that I should not worry about money. God provides. You always remind me that God always working and bestowing His blessings to those people who know how to wait and people that are humble.
You remind me that life is still beautiful to live for even if a pandemic strikes nowadays. You make sure that I will not get worried about tomorrow because as you said " tomorrow has another story to tell" that I should focus on today. On what can I do for today to be productive. So that tomorrow we are ready to face it.
Hays,! I don't know but as we are still in counting years of being together, my love for you is growing and expanding by how you do and say. How you appreciate life. You are so mature enough. Your maturity guided me to go on with life. You always give me advice that I should give my best today. Today is more important than tomorrow because tomorrow we don't know yet what will happen. So, as long as there is today, give your best shot. This is what you always remind me of.
Therefore, I thank you so much for the things you've done for us with your daughter. Thank you for keeping us, for loving us, for providing everything, and for making us enough and satisfied. You are our great papalove. You are so dear. You deserve all the happiness that the world would give. You are important to us, so please be safe always. Take care and keep praying no matter what.
We love you so dearly, papalove!
Lovingly yours,
Your wife/mamaloveπ
That would be all. Thank you for reading and dropping. God bless you all. Shalom!π

Bigger Family? No Problem!
It's already been 15 years since our late father passed away. So, my mother was the one who took all the responsibilities left from my father. However, through God's help, she made it.Β
By the way, we are 12 in the family excluding our parents. Two boys and ten girls. Look, how hardworking our parents were because they made us up to 12. Hahaha lol. A one-dozen healthy eggs. hahaha. Well, it is not bad at all.
Being one of them is not that easy because I have to adjust, understand, respect, and obey what they say so that everything is just smooth sailing especially to our dear mother. It's not easy at all because you have a lot of things to consider from your decision to theirs. You have to do your part and also be responsible for your own doings. The advantage of having a bigger family is that they are there to support you. You have someone to run after when you are in need. You have someone to call up to when you are in an emergency. You are being safe and secured because you have your siblings with you.
I am blessed that I do have siblings that are very confirming in my decision and plans in life. They are there to help me reach my plans and be into reality. They even help me to find ways to solve my problems when I feel so down. I am fortunate that they encourage me to just keep going in life even if we have now our own little family. We still keep in touch and greet each other and ask each other if everything is all good in life. Messenger chat is a really big help for us because this is one of the ways to reach out to each other through chats ad video calls. We used this because I have siblings that live far away from our home or province. They are in Luzon and most of us are here in our province in the Visayas. So, this app is very helpful to us as a sign of communication.
However, as 2nd to the last member of the one-dozen eggs, I have to accept the fact that I have so many opinions and ideas to agree with. Each of us has our perspective, principles, dreams, goals, and vision in life. We have different likes and dislikes for such things and stuff to understand. We have an unrelated point of view that makes us unique and special in our little ways.
I cannot deny the reality that sometimes we come to a situation where our feelings are being touched. Or shall I say affected, especially when there are things that need to be decided in union but there are still some of the members who cannot go with the flow or cannot adapt to the situation itself. Just like making plans on how to have a better way to help each other's life but there is this: someone will contradict and have his/her opinion that we don't like. This will turn out to be a misunderstanding to the whole family.Β
There was one time when my wedding was fast approaching, I had to decide regarding the reception. What I liked was that it should be held in a place where I wanted to but sad to say because we are a big family, I had to accept suggestions and ideas from my siblings as a sign of respect. Even if we (myhusband) don't like the place they suggested, I agreed with them because they are my sibling. They are more experienced than me. I need to say "okay" even if it opposes what really what I want. I just follow them because I want to have a peaceful and happy wedding. I want everyone to be on good terms. No conflicts.
But hey, the good thing about being in a big family is that happiness is there. Laughs are everywhere. Even the irritating noise of the kids is everywhere when we are gathered together. We are a kind of family that most of the time are gathered in one place especially if there are a birthday celebration and wedding anniversaries. We usually prepare food to eat and everything we can offer to everybody. After that, the party began. Hehehe π
We are a kind of family that food is the number one source of our happiness. It made us gather together and have time to bond with each other while eating. We have random talks and chikas anything about what's the latest news in our place and so on. In fact, it is happier to be with them. I am so blessed that I do have them. I know that we have different behaviors, flaws, and imperfections. We even have a bad attitude that sometimes we come to the point that we have to set our pride and forgot all the conflicts before. Just to move forward and start a new one. We don't need to prolong our conflicts or fights because we know that it is not healthy for our family. We remain humble for the sake of our mother too. We forgive and forget. We love each other and that is all that matters. π€
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading this regarding my family. God bless you all. Shalom! π

Mother-in-Law is Finally Home!
I shared here the health status of my mother-in-law that she is already in critical condition due to the illness that she suffered right now. She's been suffering for almost 1 month already.
Last two weeks when we decided to transfer her to a bigger hospital which is found in Tacloban City. We want her to live longer. That's why we make a way to do everything just for the sake of Nanay's health. We fight for her as she does.
As she was there in Tacloban City, she undergoes different tests so that we can find what's the causes behind her illness. We wanted to know what truly the reason for her agonies. She was tested CT scan and Ultrasound and the result was never found.
Days passed by, the Doctor said that my mother in law is suffering from ovarian cancer. The doctor predicts that when the time that she has undergone an operation because of an ovarian cyst last four years ago, the doctor said that the cyst was cancerous. Now it happened again the reason for her hardships.
Last Tuesday, my mother in law should go an operation in Tacloban City but the operation didn't proceed because her body was totally down. Her body's vital signs are already low or weak and she can't make it. That would be the cause of her death if the operation proceeds. Also, her waste or stool is being stocked inside her tummy for the reason that she cant release it. Can't frequently pass it on her own. Her tummy now is getting bigger because it's been two weeks already since she can't release her own waste. So sad to know this. It's so painful. She is suffering so much. π
So, my sister in law, sign a waiver to just stop or not to do the operation and just go home alive. We have no choice but to take Nanay home to their house and wait for the will of God. We don't know when only God knows.
Yesterday Wednesday, Nanay was taken home. Last night at 11 PM they arrived at their house. She seems happy that finally, she was already home after two weeks away. We guess Nanay wanted to rest in her home together with her family.
Now, she always mumbled the word " wait". In Cebuano, it is "huwat sa". We guess that Nanay is being fetched by her loved ones that are already dead. That is just a superstitious belief that if someone is fetching you to death, you are the next in line. It is just a belief.
However, she still wanted to see all her children. Including the grandchildren as she always seeks us. Especially my husband as the oldest and the only son. She wanted to see us all together. She requests that. Even if she can't able talk fluently, we can still understand her.
Tomorrow, we decided to go there and grant Nanay's request. We will go to her house together with her siblings, children, and grandchildren. We want to grant her request maybe for the last time. Maybe that would be the request she is waiting for so that she can now go and rest well. π
Closing Thought:
As much as we want Nanay to live longer, but if God is ready to take back life especially the life of Nanay. We have no choice then. We don't have the right to stop God for His will. We want Nanay to rest. We want her to just go and leave us as long as she is happy. We have no problem with that. If God will take her, she can now live peacefully and no more suffering. No more pain.
We feel mercy to Nanay to her situation now. We can't believe that she experience this kind of illness. She is very kind, generous, and thoughtful to all her loved ones. She is so down to earth. But, we have no option but to accept the reality that our life is just a borrowed one from God. His will be done. π
*For now, we are not well. We are unhappy, we are in pain knowing Nanay is about to surrender. We just need to be strong now and abide by the truth. We lifted to God everything now. He knows what we want and what we need. π*
Thank you for dropping by. God bless you all. Shalom! π

Happy Birthday, Self.
It's been 29 years since God give me life. That God let me witness wonderful creations on the earth that He created from planet, flowers, animals, and humankind. I do enjoy and love them all. Everything that has in the world; tiny and large things.
I am enormously blessed that He even give me parents that raise me for who I am today. They help me appreciate every little thing and enable me to grow appreciatively into it. I am not who I am today without my beloved parents. Indeed, they are my source of happiness and my inspiration to keep going in life no matter how tough it is. However, they said, life is not life without hardships. All you need to do is to be strong and be brave enough to face problems because without a dilemma you will not relish life.
I was 26 years old when I decided to settle down with my longtime boyfriend. We've been 10years in a relationship before we decided to level up our love story. With it, I never regret the decision I made for my husband is one of a kind man. He is responsible and loving to us. I thank God for that.π
I was 27 years old when I got pregnant. I face all the hurdles of being a pregnant woman. From body figure change to social life. I bear all those things for the sake of my angel inside my tummy. My husband didn't leave me. Instead, he supported me all the way. He was always there to comfort me when I am emotional. It's normal when you are pregnant though.
I was 28 when I gave birth to my little blessing. She completes us with my husband. She became now our happy pill. Our life changer and our inspiration to reach our dreams. She even now the purpose why we need to live longer. To stay healthy always.
Now that I am 29, I a beyond grateful for all the people that I have. From my dear parents to my precious little family. I am not asking for more. I am happy and content with my life now. But I only have three wishes for this birthday.
**GOOD HEALTH**
Good health to my mother. She is my love of life. She raises me so well. So, I wish that we still be able to live longer so that we still enjoy life together with her grandchildren.
Good health to my husband for he is always working outdoor. I wish him to stay healthy and avoid people that are not so well especially that covid is still around seeking another victim. Also, protection to him for he is every day riding his motorcycle. I wish and pray to him adequate protection wherever he goes.
Good health to my daughter. I will not be calm if my baby gets sick. I am the number one worried if she is not so well. Who wouldn't? As a mother, we can't deny the fact that if our baby is sick, we are not well too. Right? So, I wish her to be healthy always.
**PASS THE LET**
It was 2019 when I first took the LET. I was unfortunate because I wasn't able to pass it. I didn't get the license I am longing and desire to have which is the teacher's license. Ever since I was a kid, my dream job is really to become a teacher. It was my ultimate dream from then until now. The moment I failed, I was having very painful news when I received it. I had a hard time getting up in bed. I always cry. It took one week before I moved on. It's so painful because my friends were able to pass it even if we both enrolled at the review center. I felt pity for myself at that time. I felt so down.
And then, I realized that I should do a more extraordinary effort for me to be able to have the license this year. In God's will of course. To be honest, the first time I took the LET it was not my 100% best that I gave. Now, I understood that I should give my best today to have a brighter tomorrow. And for my family, I will my best now. It's not too late to get the license. There are more chances to have it. The best thing is to never give up and never surrender to your dream. Winners never quit and that is the true importance of having a dream. To never stop reaching the dream.
**FIND A JOB**
As a mother, I can't help myself just sit and do nothing in terms of raising our little family. Yes, I take care of my baby but I have the desire to have a job to earn. I want to help my husband in the financial aspect. I want to have a job and earn it to buy our essentials. Yes, my husband has already a job but I want to have my own money in my wallet. I don't want to be dependent on him forever. It's not bad at all to desire a job. All of us wanted to have it but I know it will take time. I am willing to wait anyway in God's perfect time.
These three wishes I have shared are just wishes. It will not be possible without hard work, effort, and most of all prayer. It is only God who can turn these wishes into reality. He is the only one who knows when He will grant those wishes especially the second and the third wishes. I surrender these all to God. I can't do these alone. I need Him. His guidance through it all. π
Thank you in advance to those who will greet me and give me warm wishes. That would be all for today. Happy birthday to me, once again. π€

His First Day At Work!
As I shared here from my previous articles that my husband has already found a new job. Just last week we prepare all the requirements including the swab test (Antigen) whose result was negative. Thanks to God. It took us three days before we finish his employment papers. As a matter of fact, preparing for all the employment papers as requirements is not easy at all. You will take time and effort to do such things. You will also need to budget your money as another expense because you have to draw money so that all the requirements will be realized especially the medical. We all know that medical is quite expensive nowadays. Most especially the swab test which is part now of the requirements when you apply for a job. In fact, our expenses regarding the medical including the swab test cost more than 2,000 excluding the other papers. When it comes to his diploma, we need to get another copy from his school because the first copy was already taken from his past job. So, we need to have another copy for his new job now which we paid for 250.
The other expense was we need to buy a white plain polo shirt as his uniform since he is a newbie. He needs to wear white plain polo as required. So, we purchased one 1piece only because he has plain white already. In shoes also, he needs to wear dark colors such as blue or black only and because he has no blue and black shoes, we bought also a pair of shoe color blue. Therefore, it is not simple. You have to expense it first from your own money just to comply with everything that is required. But we don't need to worry about it because we know that in the long run in his job, all the expenses will be paid off. It is still gonna be worth it. And of course, we have no choice but to follow and obey the requirements because, in the first place, he needs a job. We need money. So, that is why.
As of yesterday, he started his new job. His new workplace, new workmates, new environment, and new adjustment. He was happy about his first day. He was oriented by the manager and he just observed first. The thing he didn't like is that he feel bored at some point because he has nothing to do in the office. He felt exhausted because he said that the clock seems slow to move. He doesn't want to just sit there and have nothing to do. He wants to be busy so that he can't always look for the time on what time already. He cant notice the time ticking . And because he has nothing to do, he chatted and texted me instead to divert his boredom. He will just use his cellphone when he has nothing to do and when he is free.
Since my husband is at work already, he missed us every time it's already lunchtime because we used to it to eat together every lunch. He misses us to be with. From his former job, every lunchtime, he went home and brought a viand for us to have to eat every lunch. Now, in his current job, he can't make it to eat with us every lunch because he is not the boss anymore unlike his previous work that he is the boss. He can went home anytime he wants. He has no power to make free time now. Lol. That's why he missed us every lunch especially our baby which he will bond our daughter only when he arrives home in the evening or before evening. It is indeed an adjustment to us.
But of course, it is okay because it is for the sake of our future. He needs to sacrifice for us to have a better tomorrow most importantly for his lovely daughter. He will do everything as he said. He needs to endure the sadness every lunchtime. I said to him that it is just at the start. As time passes by, he can now adapt to the new setting. He has no choice indeed. Hahaha haha
As his wife, I am happy to accept the truth that he is not with us every afternoon. I am ready with that. I know it already. Rather, I am glad that he has now a new job he look for. He can sustain what his family needs. He can provide that essential stuff for his family. I am always here to support him all the way. To pray for him always. To cook food early morning and in the evening because I am his life partner. Especially, I am his wife. It is my responsibility to support him in every way. No matter how difficult it is but for the sake of our family, I will do everything as well as what he does. π€ͺπ
That would be all for today. Have a good day ahead. God bless you. Shalom!

I Care For You 'cause I Love You
Hola! My read cash family. How's your day? Is everything doing fine? Well, my day is just a normal day as always. I just put myself now to God and trust Him for everything. I know He will help us to go through this battle we are facing today. We remain hopeful in every aspect of our lives. He is always good. π
Thank you for always supporting me, my beloved sponsors.πΈπ
A newfound addiction is in the house. Lol. I can't believe that he did this to me as his spouse. Well, I will tell you a short story about how it started my husband has a newfound addiction.
It was afternoon when we were in my husband's residence that his uncle had something to give. His uncle said he no longer used his mobile tablet a long time ago. It is with no use since he has a new mobile phone. He just bought it just recently here in our City.
I am happy because at that time my husband has no mobile phone yet. He has no other gadget except mine. He will just borrow my phone if I have something to do. Every night, he is the one who used my phone because he wants me to rest early to avoid getting sick. And so that I do have enough sleep. He doesn't want that I will expose to the phone too much because too much radiation is not good at all. And we know that. Right?
Now that my husband has now a mobile tablet given by his uncle, I didn't know that there is another thing that he found inside his tablet. Do you know what it is? Well, it is a Netflix. And we all know that Netflix has lots of movies to watch. Latest or not. You can search anytime if you want to watch your favorite movie in it.
The Netflix inside is already registered and paid monthly by his uncle. The account to the tablet is already saved. We know that having a Netflix you should register and you should pay for it monthly. And I don't have Netflix on my phone. That's why my husband is extremely happy having Netflix on his tablet since he loves watching movies too. That is one of his hobbies in his spare time which is to watch movies mostly the latest ones.
With that, I am annoyed when evening comes because when we are asleep with my baby he is still up even if it is already midnight. He is watching a movie without me knowing because I'm already asleep. I'm already knockdown. Lol. In the middle of the night, I am always peeing. It is my routine to pee at midnight and that is the time that I caught him still watching a movie. Such a hard-headed one.
The reason why I am mad about it is that I am just concerned for his health. I don't like it if he has a lack of sleep knowing in the early morning he has work. I just want him to be healthy always. It's not bad to feel concerned for him.
While watching, he uses earphones when he watches movies. That's why I can't hear anything. For me, it is okay that his addiction is just watching a movie rather than playing online games which are I don't like. I don't like that his attention will stick to playing over her baby. That is why I don't give him a chance to play online games.
And now that his newfound addiction is watching movies on Netflix which is okay for me but he should have the time management on what time should he end up watching. He should think about his health first of all. It is more important. Well, he listens to me. He respects my advice. He obeys me anyway.
From that, he only watches a movie in his extra time and when evening comes he can watch until 10 PM because it is now our rule to sleep. To rest when the clock hit at 10 Pm. It is our newest rule now especially that he has now a job. We should rest well in the evening so that in the morning we have enough energy to consume for the whole day activity or task. Not bad rule, in fact, it is such a better way to do. It is for the sake of our health.
Thank you for your time reading. God bless you. Shalom! π

Patiently Waiting for the Light
It's been almost two months already since the super typhoon Odette hit our place. It happened last year on December 16 and we can't still believe that it all happened unexpectedly. We can't forget how the typhoon brought trauma to each of us who were affected by it. We can still remember how it happened. The sound of the strong wind and the heavy rain seems not to stop anymore. The place became dark because of a blackout caused by the said typhoon.
Every time we encounter a wind even if it is just a light wind, our heartbeats so fast. We can reminisce about the happenings during the typhoon. Trauma is true. In fact, we are scared that it will happen again. Praying that it will not.π
It's been more than a month since our place experienced a blackout. Our surroundings are dark. We need to light up a candle, a solar light, a man-made lamp, and anything that create light as long as it gives enough light that we can see the things we look for.
Also, we need to buy kerosene gas for our simple lamp to give light to in our house. But sad to say, kerosene gas is also has a high cost of price. It's very pricey. That's why need to save it. We need to use just a little amount so that it will last for the next couple of days. But still, it will run out of gas. We need to buy another again.
The sad part about that is that our money also will be run out of savings. It will also deficit our budget. When it comes to candles also, the regular candlelight will just take one time only. And it cost much too. We need to buy again. When it comes to solar light also, the weather sometimes is not that hot that will satisfy the solar panel to charge. It will take an hour of use. When it comes to chargeable light also, we need to pay for the charge that uses a gasoline generator only. And we need to pay for 20php.
What's hurt is that our wallet is not full of money that we need to spend on the expenses to the things that needed light. Our money does not produce more money. The truth is we badly need money because of the expenses. But what can we do, we only need to wait for the electrician or the heroes of light to come to our place to fix everything regarding electricity.
Until now, it's so sad to share with you that until now we need to pay for everything that gives us light such as lamps, solar light, and more. Until now we don't still have electricity. We are still struggling every night. We used a portable fan or a man-made fan for us to ease the hotness especially since my baby can't sleep without an electric fan. So we prolong our patience to do so to give her good bedtime.
How I wish the light will be back to normal again here in our place. We missed the light so much. We missed watching tv, playing random music, and even using it for everything because almost everything we do we need electricity. Our stuffs are made up of electricity. We also missed charging our mobile phones via electricity. I am afraid that my new phone will easily damage especially the battery. How I wish it would not happen.
We are insecure now because some barangays of our hometown has already electricity. They were done struggling darkness every night. They can watch tv anytime. They charge their phones through electricity again. They can play music as long as they want. Hays. (Sana all) we don't have anything to do but patiently wait for our time. For our schedule to fix the electric wirings here in our place. We just need to wait they said. Of course, what can we do but wait.
As of yesterday, we saw the linemen are already in our nearby barangay. They did that they are closer to our barangay. With that, our hope was boosted upon seeing them fixing nearby. We said to them that, please make it faster. We can't wait. We are excited. Lol. They just smile anyway. Lol.
Closing thought:
The light I am trying to say is the light came from the electricity because until now we still don't have. However, we are waiting patiently when will it will be lit up again here in our place.
To be honest, we are used to it since it's been more than a month since we don't have it. I can remember the old good days when we don't have electricity at all.
Thank you for reading. Have a blessed Sunday to all of us. God bless and shalom!

Finally I Have A New Phone!
It is a brand new day to all especially my newfound friends here. How are you all? How's the start of your day? Is everything going well? As for me, I woke up with a happy face because I slept last night early. I had a long sleep. I feel enthusiastic today. Lol. Thanks to our God for giving me another day to live. Another day to enjoy life again. π₯°
If you read the previous article that I stated there that I want to have a new mobile phone and I am hoping that this month would happen.
And then, we never expected a blessing came to us. It was Sunday afternoon when someone was here in our house. He want to look for the motorcycle that my husband was planning to sell. My husband has two motorcycles, He planned to sell the other one since it's already old but still in very good condition. Still had a long ride if you want to.
Before that, it was December last year when we were planning to sell his old motorcycle but we weren't able to find a buyer. So, this month, someone has the desire to buy it. It is our church mate and a friend.
Our motorcycle cost only 15,000 or $300 in good condition and has complete papers. Only need to renew it to the LTO. But since it is our friend, we give him a discount of 1500 or $30. So, he needs to pay us only 13,500 or $270.
The good advantage in him is that it is okay with us if he will not pay full. He will pay half of the said amount. So, last Sunday, he pay in advance for 8,000 or $160. The remaining balance will be paid soon. It depends on him. He said that he will pay the remaining balance next week. Even if we need money, it is okay with us because we also understand his source of income and also because he is our friend.
With that we have already 8,000 or $160 cash on hand, we plan to buy a mobile phone because it is important especially since my husband is about to start his new job this Monday and he has no cellphone. He needs to have for us to have a communication. Also, for his communication with his boss.
On the day that we prepare all the employment papers, it was also the day when we bought the mobile phone. We had the chance to buy it on that day. We decided to buy at a cheap price only or has a lesser price. What we look for is internal storage. That's matters when it comes to mobile phones. It is more important to have bigger storage. For me, the good quality of the camera is just a bonus. Hehehe my old phone camera is enough for me. I am satisfied with it.
Since the market now has a new brand release of phones, we decided to try it anyway. We bought a new brand of phone which is Infinix. I know that some or most of you know this brand already. We bought Infinix Hot 10i. It has 4/128 storage. We were amazed at the storage it offers.
It cost only 5,990 or $119. See? Cheaper price yet it gives us what we look for. When it comes to the camera, the front camera has 5MP with a flashlight and the rear camera is a 13MP dual camera with a quad flashlight. The operating system is Android 11. The battery capacity is 6000mAh. The processor is Helio P65. I don't have anything to tell you about this phone. I just lovin' the specs it offers. In other words, I am satisfied with this. I am contented and happy at the same time. βΊοΈ
Because we have a new phone now, I ask my husband if it is okay with him if we exchange phones. And I am enormously happy when he said yes. So, I am with the new phone and he is with my phone. The old one. Lol. Such a spoiled wife. He said that this is his advanced birthday gift to me because my natal day is also approaching one of this month. Hehehe
I am beyond glad for the reason that my phone has bigger storage. I am still exploring for more on my phone. Lol. I also transferred my accounts from my old phone to this new phone. From bitcoin wallet, coins, readcash, and more. I am excited to use this every day. Lol. To be honest, this is one of my wishes to come true this year. Thank God it is realized because of His help, of course. His blessings bestowed us.
Especially, I am thankful to my husband for granting my wish. He is such a good husband to me ever since. I couldn't ask for more about him but safety and protection every day. I am always praying for that.
In addition, we also decided to buy a new phone as a remembrance of his motorcycle. He wants to have something to reminisce about the things he valued when he was just single. Just a simple remembrance is enough for him.
That ends my thought today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you all. Shalom! π

Wednesday Well Spent (Our Journey)
Hello, readcash family. How are you all? I hope you are doing great today despite the negativity that life brought to us. We should always be thankful anyway.
By the way, how's your Wednesday? Was the day given you everything according to your expectation? Hmmmmm. If so, that is good to know. Just keep going in life no matter how hard it is. π
As for me, my Wednesday was a bit busy for I accompanied my husband to prepare his employment papers for he is about to start next few days. So, I will share with you how's our day went. Where did we go and what are papers did we prepare? Let's start. π
Early morning we woke up at 5 am. We prepared our breakfast together with our baby. We helped each other so that everything will just be smooth and easier to do. We decided that our daughter will be left in the house of my older sister. She will be the Yaya of the day for our little girl since she has no baby. She will be the one who will take care of our daughter. Her kids are already in their teenage stage. Thankful that she has no appointment today that I have the chance to let my baby with them.
At 9 am, we depart from the house. We were using our motorcycle so that there will be no hassle if we want to transfer from one place to another and also the reason why we didn't commute a jeep was because the fare is still costly even if there is no social distancing. No more barriers on each side. I don't know why it doesn't still back to regular fare again. It is so annoying to think that the jeepney drivers are not giving us as commuters to lower their fare rate. Hays.
As we were traveling heading to the city, policemen were having a COMELEC checkpoint. The purpose is that they are just securing the upcoming elections everything is good and secured. We stopped because our motorcycle wasn't renewed last year October because of some valid reasons. We didn't have the time to renew it by chance. So, we need to avoid it because what if the cops will charge us for not renewing our motorcycle and it will cost much. We don't have a budget for that. We know that we should renew for registration our own motorcycle so that we will not be arrested by the officers but please do forgive us for not renewing it yet. We have a plan to renew it. Not now but very soon.
Therefore, we waited for an hour. We stayed there and waiting the police will be gone. There are lots of people like us who were trapped too. They waited too. A felt thirsty while waiting. I ask my husband to look for a nearby store that sold something to drink. So, we went back to our way and look for a store, and fortunately, we found a milk tea house. Such a perfect drink. Here's the milk tea I bought. π
To be honest, I am not a fan of milk tea. I am not addicted to it. Maybe because I seldom taste it because I know it's not healthy. The flavor I ordered was Okinawa. I tried this one because I want to try another flavor for I already know is just chocolate. Lol. I like the taste. I like it. This would be my new favorite flavor. Hehe. So yummy.
At past 11 am, the policemen were already gone. They were done with their job. So now, we have had the chance to pass going to the City. We directly went first to the computer shop to print the papers. After that, we eat our lunch first because it's already lunchtime.
My husband was the one who fall in line because I, as his wife should just sit and wait for the food. Lol. I took a picture of the store called Crispy King. We like here because it is very affordable and also because we love chicken joy. Lol
Tadaaannnn!!!! Here's our food. We paid just $2 including the soft drink. See, really affordable. Wallet-friendly. And it fills our tummy. This is enough for us. What I didn't like in the store is that there were street kids who ask for food since the store is just open. No barrier. Not to discriminate but the kids were untidy look and some are wearing dirty clothes. Even if we were not yet eating they are there asking for food or money. I just feel pity for the kids wondering where are their parents. Why they are doing this act? They should not do this kind. They should stay at home.
After we were done eating, we went to the private hospital for the swab test which is an antigen. Swab test is one of their requirement and it should be negative. This requirement is included in the new normal society. We don't have a choice but to follow the rules. After 30 minutes of the swab, the result was out. Thankfully, the result was negative.
This was the last requirement he need to have. Thank God that we finished it on that day. He complies with everything.
On that day, our day was good. The weather also cooperates. We were happy because finally we were done complying with all the requirements as needed. Even if we spent more time and money, it is okay. The important there is that we made it. The money that we expense will be back if my husband will start his new job as time goes on. We were beyond grateful to God for helping us such as providing the finances we needed. Guidance and protection as we travel everywhere just to finish everything. Also, for the strength.
By the way, these are the requirements we prepare.
Chest X-ray
Drug Test
Hepa B
Swab (Antigen)
SSS (E1 form)
PAG-IBIG (Form)
PHILHEALTH (MDR)
College Diploma
TOR
PSA / NSO (birth certificate)
MARRIAGE CONTRACT

That would be all. Thank you for reading and for dropping by. Until next article. God bless you, shalom! π
Sorry if I used Wednesday, I wrote this article during that day when I had the time to write. I fail to publish it on thay da because it was not done. So, please do forgive me if I published it today and yesterday I was busy. Thank you. ππ

Found Out She's in Critical Condition
Hello, my readcash family. How are you? How's your day? My day is just a normal day for me. From doing the household chores to taking care of my baby. A tiring task yet a fulfilling one as a mother and wife. Still happy and blessed every end of the day. π
Thank you my beloved sponsors for always supporting me. You make me happy and enthusiastic each day. π
I don't know how to start this kind of write-up I'm going to share with you. I know that you already know regarding the health condition of my mother-in-law. Since I've been sharing with you from the day she was sick until she was confined and transferred to another hospital. I just want to still let you know how's my mother. How is she right now? I don't think so if this is okay to share with you but I trust this platform. I trust the people in here that no one will judge me. I believe that all of you are kind and pleasant to me. So please bear with me. Understand what I felt now and please include my mother-in-law in your prayers. π
Earlier this afternoon, the sister of my husband chatted to my hubby about their mother's health. She said that our mother is in critical condition already as the doctor clarified it too. She added that our mother needs to have a blood donor because she is having very low hemoglobin. She needs blood right now. The doctor also said that maybe the brain of our mother is already bleeding causing her too weak. The doctor wants to know the real cause of our mother's health because until now the doctors still can't decide what's the ill of our mother. There is still more from inside her body that the doctors can't tell. π’
My sister-in-law needs to buy the new prescription given by the doctor so that it will be taken right away. She said that it is costly too but she still needs to buy it. Also the blood. She also said that she will go to the blood bank to attempt if there is free blood in there.
My husband's face was turned into sadness upon knowing the new update regarding his mother. He is still can't believe why it all happened to her.
He asked her sister if she still have money left. If she still has the finances to buy the medications. And she answered it yes. She still has but just only a little amount. It will be insufficient if she will buy all the medications given. π©
My husband responded that he will find ways to find money so that the medications will be bought but he didn't promise that he will send all the amount that is needed because he still doesn't have a job yet. He will just borrow some cash. And his sister responded that it is okay. She will wait.
Even me, I don't have something to share. I don't have money. I don't have a job. I don't have money savings. π’ As long as I want to help our mother but the fact is I don't have anything to offer. That's why every decision of my husband regarding his Nanay, I will not contradict. I will not oppose for I know that I can't help instead. So, what I did is support my husband. Comfort him and motivate him that everything will be fine soon. I am always at my husband's back as her support every time he's weak. Every time he seems to fall. I know that it is not easy at all to have this kind of struggle. I know how it goes. I've been there too. π’
Closing thoughts:
Having a sickly mother needs to have enough or even more cash to sustain everything that is needed just to be cured. But as of this day that we are still facing crisis and pandemic, it is still difficult to find that amount, especially since we don't have a job. For now, we really need to be strong and fight for our mother. We can't help her even financially only God really knows how everything will be provided. He is in control and we strongly believe in His miracle.
By now regarding the health situation of our mother, I can say that only a miracle can heal her. Only from the power of God. His grace and mercy. We know that we can't do anything but just wait for the will of God.
We wanted that Nanay will be healed and back her health into a normal one. We really wanted it too. That's why we still draw her to the hospital and ask help from the doctors so that she will be recovered even we clash. It is okay as long as it is for our Nanay.πͺ We still hope and fight for her. However, at the end of the day, it is still the will of that God will be fulfilled. π
Thank you for reading. God bless you. Shalom! π

For me, Read Cash is?
Hola! My new-found family here in read cash. It is my great pleasure to share with you regarding read cash on how it changes the viewpoint of my life. How it becomes my home. I just read the article of miss @Zhyne06 as she just shared her experiences and thoughts on how read cash changed her life. I was amazed after I read about her experiences that I also realized that this platform is indeed a home for us. I strongly agree with her thoughts.
So, okay. Let's start with my thoughts. Just bear with me. Enjoy and have fun reading. π I will also use the questions she used to answer.
What you know about read.cash?
At the very start, I thought that read.cash is for good writers only. I was a bit hesitant to publish my own article since I am not a good writer just like others. I'm not better at constructing words and also I'm not good at grammar. I'm a bit shy to post my content but then as I keep on reading articles here on this platform, I came to realized that it is okay to just create simple even if does not well arrange words or grammar. No one will judge you because all of the people here are awesome, kind, friendly, and respectful. From that, my confidence was boosted. It is okay to publish even have errors because many will correct you with respect. They will give you a piece of advice that will lead you to become better as time goes on.
Therefore, I urge myself to write everything as I could because for sure no one will judge me. No one will harm my feelings if I have mistakes. Everyone is hospitable. That's why I am starting to fall in love read.cash from then even up until now.
What thing you like the most on read.cash?
Aside from the fact that everyone is earning here, the thing I like the most is I found myself here. I found myself because of my desire to share my thoughts without any judgments from others for I know that people here are not toxic. They are genuine in their own little ways. I can express my thoughts freely. Some of them give me a piece of advice that helps me to be a better writer. Enables me to do the best one.
In addition, I like here because I found friends. They are true. They are friendly and they are thoughtful especially when you share about your health. Everyone is minding you to be well. Everyone cared for you.
Furthermore, I learned from their articles as well. I learned more about life depending on what they share too. In fact, I learned something new every day every time I read random articles. I just really love the atmosphere here.
What thing I don't like on read.cash?
With all honesty, the thing I don't like here is when someone will do the downvotes and do spam. I don't know why they did it maybe because they don't like the content or it might be because some just having an accident touching the spam button without intending to do so. Somewhat like that. So far, that would be the thing I don't like here. Sorry. β
Who is the best read.cash user according to you?
Well, everyone here is amazing. They have shared their own thoughts with pride. They are proud that they share their own experiences without hesitation and doubts that some might have something to say. But then, they still share their ideas anyway.
Actually, I've known lots of users here. I found them amazing writers because they are growing and they have progressed in everything they write. Some also became mature because of the learning they have from other writers they've read. I learned a lot of things regarding the way they view life. So these are the people I found that their writing is having an interest in me to read and I learn a lot from them. @Yzza0625 @Janz @GarrethGrey07 @Sequoia @Zhyne06 @Kleah97
Sorry, that didn't mention some. There are still more. β
What is the best memory in read.cash?
Well, everything in read cash is the best memory for me. From the upvotes, comments, and subscribers. Everything is the best. But the best one I have is when rusty finally noticed after I published 4 articles. That night was one of the best nights for me because it happened in the evening when I open and I saw his name appear on my notification lists. I screamed for happiness that I can't imagine rusty finally visiting me. It means I finally belong here because for me when rusty finally visit you it means that you belong in the family. And that is for me only. HeheheπSo, that's it. That would be the best memory I had here in read.cash so far. For the 1BCH goal, well, I am still aiming and dreaming for that. Maybe soon. More grind to take pa. π
Where did you spend your first earning from reading.cash?
I still remember and I wouldn't forget the very first earning I have here is I spent it to pay our electric and water bills. I can't forget it because that was the time we don't have any money left to pay for that bills. So, I decided to withdraw a 1000 PHP or $20 just to pay for the bills. I merely say that this platform helps a lot especially the needs of our family and in case of emergency. We can easily withdraw anytime we want especially when we badly need it.
What is the best lesson you gain from mistakes in read. cash?
The best lesson I gain is to really interact with others. Don't just publish and wait for the earning you earn from that article. It is more important to interact with other writers to make friends with them. To appreciate their thoughts and ideas. To advise if you want to. To learn from them as well. For me, it is not good to just wait for the earnings, it is somewhat that is the reason why you are here which is to just receive the amount. Not nice.
How read.cash bring positivity to your life?
As a mother and as an unemployed person this day, read.cash brought me into wonderful things to look up to. It makes me who I am now where I can share with you everything about me without criticism. It helps a lot to me especially when it comes to my own little family. I can help my husband to sustain our daily needs because of read.cash earnings.
The times that my husband had to close their company from his recent job, and he has no job after that, this platform really help big time because the earnings I have here were spent on our daily needs when he has no work yet. By that, read.cash bestowed everything we need from food to clothes.
For now, I am still don't have a job, it really gives a big impact on our family. What we need is we can buy some of it. To be honest, I am planning to buy a new phone and expend my earnings here to have one. Hopefully, next month I can able to buy a new cellphone because we badly need it especially since my husband is about to start his new job next month.
If this platform will still continues, I am planning to save money for our own house. We will build our own if given a chance to rise a house base on our income. And the earnings, I have here will be spent some to our soon-to-rise house. Hopefully. I am still praying for that.
A BIG thanks to read.cash. It indeed changes my life. Such a wonderful blessing that this platform came into our lives. It is a newfound home. A newfound family too. π
Closing thoughts:
I know we have our own different experiences on how readcash changes our lives. I just share my own with full of gratefulness that I felt. I owe to God everything that read.cash have. I am praying that this platform will long last because there are many lives have changed. I am praying that this will continue until the end. Until we reach our goal and plans. And even more. Hoping it will never be gone.
I can say that this is my new addiction because my day would be incomplete if I can't open read.cash in a day. It seems that my life would be boring if this platform will be out of nowhere. Hoping it will not. I can't imagine my life if it will be gone. Huhuhuh.
Truly, read.cash is a blessing. A great blessing for all the users here. π
That would end my thoughts. Thanks for reading. God bless you. Shalom!π

A Health Update For Our Mother.
*Hello! My read cash family. How are you doing? I hope you do all great as days pass by and keep yourself safe and sound.*
*These past two days, I wasn't able to publish an article and be active for the reason that we are processing papers for my husband's new soon job. He is preparing all the necessary papers. That is why I'm a bit busy for I accompanied him to do so. My apology for that.* π
Flexing my blessings above. π Thanks all. πΈ
*Today I'm gonna share with you the update regarding my husband's mother or my mother-in-law about her health.*
This past Tuesday, I saw a my-day post of my mother-in-law's daughter on Facebook that she was already transferred to the bigger hospital which is found in Tacloban City. 4 hours oβΏf travel from our province or city.
I chatted with the sister of my husband regarding the condition of my mother in law and she said that she was already undergone a whole-body CT Scan a few minutes later as they arrived. They arrived there past 8 in the evening on the same day. They traveled together with her father or my mother in laws husband. I thank God for the news I saw and heard on that day.π
It was already evening when they were there. The hospital is somewhat strict because only one person is allowed to go inside which is my sister-in-law only. Also, she will not be allowed to go outside at any moment because they are just obeying the protocols. After all, the virus is still around. My sister-in-law is only the one who takes care of our mother inside the hospital. Her father and her friend are left outside which they need to rent a boarding house so that they have a house to stay in. Sad to say, the house they rented is a bit costly too. But they had no option. Hays! Another expense to spend.
As we're still chatting, she said that they badly need prayers now. She had mercy on her mother based on the condition. She can't imagine their life if their mother will be gone. Surely, it's more painful. π’ So, I advised her to remain strong for 'nanay'. To keep fighting in no matter what. We know that ' nanay' also is fighting back for her life. She wanted to live longer. She still wanted to see her children and grandchildren growing up. I reminded her to be a strong daughter for nanay needs it. I also added to keep on praying for a miracle to happen for her mother based on the condition. I know that our God is the God of a miracle. So, nothing is impossible. πͺ
My husband was delighted as I told him about the news. He was having little hope that his mother now at least be tested for all the things she needed in her body. He is thankful to all the people who have had a good heart that helped them to be transferred. Such an answered prayer, he added. He owes to God above all. π
As of yesterday, my mother underwent an ultrasound also the day after she was being CT scanned. My sister-in-law said that they are just waiting for the result of what would be. We are praying that the result would be good to hear. If it will be not, then we will accept it. No choice anyway. π©
Today we don't have any news seen and heard from my sister-in-law. She was inactive on Facebook maybe because of having no internet load or just keeping it aside in private. Hoping that everything there is in good hands and in good shape.
For now, what we can do is ask God for help basically, a miracle. π We know that God is not blind and deaf to our prayers and situation. He saw us. He has mercy for us. I know He is working now and we will just wait for the great things to happen, soon. π
Also, we are praying for financial assistance which is the number one need. They can't go after without money. That's why we are also praying for that to be met with the help of God. We know that He will use people that have a good heart to help us for us to be able to do everything for our 'nanay '. For sure, it will rain blessings for these coming days. π°π Thank God in advance. π
However, we are still fighting for nanay because we love her. She will be healed in Jesus Christ's name. π
That would be all for today as an update for my mother-in-law. Thank you for reading and for your prayers with us which is the number we need the most. God bless you all. Shalom!ππ

Accepting The Reality
Last night, I published an article regarding the health condition of my husband's mother or my mother-in-law. I stated there that her condition is severe already to the point that she can't able to talk, walk, and eat alone. She wanted to live a little longer but we don't know about God's plan if God will let it happen. He is the one who has the right on when He will take back life for He is the one who created us or our creator.
For now, my mother-in-law is still fighting for her health. She is not healthy anymore. She is weak and unstable. The doctor said she needs to be transferred to a bigger hospital but how? How can we get enough money to go there? We also need a nurse to take care of her of course, we need to pay for her. How would be it possible if money is our number one lacking? They can't go there without the finances they need. I don't know but I think my mother-in-law won't ever survive based on her condition. π© if ever that happens, we will need to accept the reality that our life is just temporary or borrowed from the creator. Hays! I know it's painful but we don't have a choice. π’
By now, my husband is trying to accept the outcome of his mother's condition. He is trying to slowly admit the reality would happen for the next few days if she will never be healed. He is keeping his faith strong enough to face this kind of battle they had right now. I know that my husband has a stronger faith that would surely recover him gradually.
My husband and I keep on praying for the condition of his mother hoping it will be back to her normal health. We are begging God to heal our mother because we know it will never be simple if she will be gone with us. It will never be the same again if she will be out of our sight of having a mother. Our life will be lacking if our mom will leave us forever. But we can't do anything but wait for the next result and on God's will. π we are still fighting for her.πͺ
As his wife, if ever happen that my mother in law will be taken by God, I will be her crying shoulder and her number comforter. I know it will never be easy to accept it knowing that our mother is our strength. I know that it will take time before my husband will fully recover from it but I know for sure that God will also give him sufficient strength. God will never leave.
Closing Thought:
Our life is just borrowed from God, indeed He is also the one who will take it. All of us will be gone in this world and that is the fact. No one is excused by that. We are just here in this world living temporarily since this is not the real home that God prepared for us. At our present time, we should live our life to the fullest. Enjoy the moment and treasure everything. But we should not also forget to take care of ourselves. Avoid unnecessary things. Resist the evil actions and do good to others most importantly, know God with all your heart. Be saved by His grace and serve accordingly by His will. π
*That would be all for today's update regarding my husband's mom. Hoping tomorrow she will be transferred to another hospital. I humbly please include my mother in law to your prayers. Thank you all. God bless. Shalom! π*

My husband is not okay.
`Hello, read cash family. How are you? I do hope that you are all good and having a well day spent today. I just want to remember if you don't know that you are special, you are loved, and you are valuable in God's eyes. God made you wonderfully and fearfully. So, be happy and be proud of what you have now. God is always giving His blessings to His people.π`
Thank you as always. ππ
*My* ***HUSBAND IS NOT OKAY****. He is sad and worried. He is not well because of his mother ( my mother-in-law).*
Just last week, suddenly, bad news came. He was unsure about the news he heard from his younger sisters. To make him clarify everything, he went to his mother's house and asked what had happened to her. She saw his mother lying on the bed, physically weak. π’ I saw in his eyes how worried he was regarding his mother. That time, he was sure about the news. He was unhappy seeing his mother. He was sad and about to shed a tear. He was worried about the fact that it is another problem to overcome and hoped it will be solved right away.
His mother is badly sick. In fact, it's already a severe one. She underwent two doctors but they can't find the exact condition of his mother. Before it all happened, five years ago, his mother has undergone an operation on her ovary. There was a cyst and the doctor said it should be taken off because it's already big. Right away, she went an operation and it was successfully done but the sad part was that the cyst was never been tested through biopsy to know if it was cancerous or not.
Regarding her condition now, we can't hide to just predict that the cyst that has been taken off five years ago was the reason that she was sick again now. It might be the reason but we are not certain about that. At this moment, his mother is now confined to the public hospital in our province because she is unstable. Her condition is slowly dragging her down. π’
Just this morning, his mother was gone through a laboratory test. There were lots of tests and there are still more to be done such as ultrasound and CT scan. Money is also their problem now. The doctor also said that his mother should transfer to a bigger hospital that has complete technologies so that it would be easier and be tested easily but the hospital that the doctor is trying to say is not found in our province but is located in TACLOBAN CITY where they need to travel 5 hours to be there. They can't decide now. They don't know where they would get other finances. They need money. Badly needed one. π They don't know what to do. π©
As of this moment, his mother's condition is getting worse. She can't talk and she can't eat through her mouth but through her nose called NGT. Also, she can't walk. She used disposable diapers for her waste and pee. Hays! π my husband is problematic now. He doesn't know what to do since he has no job now. He can't help financially but only his presence and prayer.
The doctor said that his mother should do an ultrasound and ct scan right away so that he can now say what it is her ill. The doctor just say that it might be cancer but still not sure. It will just be clarified if his mother will undergo everything. Maybe tomorrow or another day, his mother will be tested. I pray that the amount they need will be met. π
Me, as his wife, I'm also worried and sad knowing that the health of his mother is getting worse as the days pass by. π I can't keep this feeling of being emotional because we, as a couple, has nothing to offer financially for the reason that we don't have yet a job. We can give just a little amount only. If I could wish now and be granted right away, it would be the health of my mother-in-law that would be back to normal again. We do miss her. Her smile and her voice. But what can we do? God only knows. God only has the right to take back our lives for He is the one who created us. Who are we? We are just His steward.
For now, my help is a sincere prayer that my mother in law will be healed miraculously, in JESUS NAME!π
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. Shalom!!!π

Be Diligent and Prudent like Ants
*, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard;*
*consider her ways, and be wise:β Proverbs 6:6*
Thank you my blessingsπ for supporting me. For always making me feel special. God bless you. More bch to come. π
`As we all know, ants are smallΒ insects that are found throughout the world. They are known for carrying objects much heavier and bigger than themselves.`
**There are two behaviors that ants have.**
Diligent
Diligent by working hard without pressure. They are diligent in their own little ways. They find strategies on how to save and store food when the sun is still shining for the reason that when the rain comes, they already had food to eat. They never stop unless they never had stored food in their storage house. We see them marching like armies with food on their back as their counterpart. We witness their hard work and being so diligent to their goal which is to store food. πΈ
So, we, as humans, should be diligent enough like ants. If they are just small insects roaming around to find food, how much more to us that we are bigger than them. So, why not do greater to reach what we wanted to be. Our dreams will just only be an idea if we will not exert action to have them in reality. It's never too late to achieve those. There are still days we spend on it. We just need to be more diligent like ants. Nothing is impossible. πͺ
Even if we feel tired or bored in doing so, we should not tolerate it in our minds because if we do, then nothing will happen. Nothing will change in our life. If we wanted to become what we desired to be, then we should make a difference now. Make a change for yourself and pursue what's the best for you. No one helps you to fulfill your desire but only yourself.
Therefore, strive hard, be diligent, and be wise by your actions. God will help you instead. Just trust Him too. π
**Prudent**
Ants are prudent by saving part of all production. They are well organized in terms of getting food and storing it. As they are walking too, they are falling in line. How amazing they are. I am amazed by how they are prudent in their lives as they live. Even if they are slow in walking, they just make sure that they carry the objects they had in their back. They walk prudently without any pressure at all.
Humans should do the same as well. In life, everything we aim for should be organized as well. Our plans should be well set so that it will not be messy in terms of doing so. We should have plans on what's the first thing to do and then the next one. If we already reached the first on the list, then we will do the second one on what's next and so on.
If we are well planned on achieving our target, then everything will just fall into place. It is more comfortable to have the lists than to have none.
In this case, being wise is considered in this act. If a person is wise in his ways, then great things will arise. We can avoid chaotic plans if we are wise, smart, and well organized. That should be a one-person should do.
But of course, everything we strive for will not be realized if we don't have God in our lives. We should put Him first in everything we do. We should ask for help and guidance so that our plans will be smooth as they should be.
These two behaviors of ants should possess now and then. If we have these two, then we are becoming what we liked someday. Being diligent and prudent are far more valuable behavior that everyone should have. It will never be a waste of time if we are diligent in doing the things we do and prudent to the things that must be done. Success will follow later, for sure.
Moreover, I realized also that Ants are great teachers too. They taught us how to be these two behaviors I mentioned above without them. Upon seeing them marching on the soil or anywhere, we came to realize that everything is possible. If they make it to carry objects even how tiny they are, then man should be more capable than them. Right? I learned that life should have these two behavior. Everything is possible if we are doing these two. We should start it today. πͺ
That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you, shalom! ππ
