Sky series
It's been a while since the sunshined. It mostly rained (pretty hard) for the past week and I was so happy to see a sky like this today!
July 1st ❤️
The sun's setting and this was how the day ended here on our place.
I've always loved skies with chucks of clouds or painted clouds! They actually add beauty to the skies! ❤️
Aaaaagh!! Colorrrsss colooorrrs! Tell me why sunsets and Sunrise never gets old!
It took awhile to have this shot. I am soooo in love with this!
Here's a landscape view from the Rice field near our house. So thankful we have this place near us! It always gives us a chance to have sceneries like these!
This would be all for this post!
Stay safe everyone!
You are allowed
*Pain-you are allowed to feel it*
As of this moment, you are still in the process of healing.
People may say "move on", "it's alright" it may be easier said than done, right? If only we could. If only we could skip the steps -- the process but the truth is, there's no skipping these.
It's either you let yourself drown a bit from the pain, or you learn to forgive and slowly heal on your own. It isn't an easy process, but it has always been a part of loving someone who promised you forever and eventually broke your heart.
I guess in this.
What's important is that, we learn.
We learn to give ourself the time and love it deserves (self love) being able to keep ourself sane and keeping oneself sober from the drunken thoughts.
Continue to love unconditionally, but learn to leave some for yourself. ❤️ In that way, in every endings, you would not regret any of it or put the blame on anyone. Because at some point, you were happy being in those moments.
*Let the pain be felt because it will not be permanent. As long you learn from it.*
Casual photographs (dogs series)
I'll be sharing some photos of our pet dogs! Yay! They are aspin dogs (tho they probably don't look like aspin)
Here in our village, our neighborhood has different breeds of dogs haha I guess they mated with our dog during her fertile days that why our dogs doesn't look like normal aspin breed.
**First photo: foodō**
She originally had 5 pups. 2 of them were female and was given to my brother's friends so much so they will be taken cared of properly (they are vets, the 2 female pups are in good hands!) the 3 remaining pups are all male (we opt to have the male pups because we already have a lot of pets, dogs and cats and we would not be able to afford more of them 😅)
**2nd photo: milktea**
We called him milktea because of his color and his spots (his color is like the okinawa milk tea and his spots represents Boba 🍵😅)
**3rd photo: pepper (pepa)**
Pepper is the most jolly pup of the 3. He's always energetic and ready to go! He sometimes jumpscares me because of his excitement to be pet. 🤣
**4th photo: cookie**
Cookie has a bully kind of body *(lawlaw)*, like how pug's skin are. 🤣 He's the biggest of them,he eats a lot. And would not stop until he's full.
**Additional photos:**
Their names were made after their mom. 😅❤️
A little adventure
**June 24, 2020**
So today, I had to do some errand for my brother and my mum since I am the only on who could drive the car. It's been long since I went out eversince the pandemic and restrictions here in our place.
So as a mum, first things first. Obviously, I had to do all the prepping for my little one. 😊
**Daily Routine**: going out early in the morning to get some sunlight and receive a daily doze of vitamin D.
We'll go to our usual place, either the front yard or in the soccer field where there's more space for fresh air and and open space for more sunlight! ❤️
After, we'll be home and I'll be preparing her water for her to take her morning bath (I usually give him a quick wash every afternoon since it's so hot for her to have a goodnight sleep), then she'll be eating breakfast just like any of our family members (haha she really love this part of her morning. Being with the family having breakfast!) she had carrot cake and she super love it! 🎂❤️🥕
So there, I had to give her water so that she'd be able to separate the taste of her breakfast and the taste of her milk before sleeping.
Soon after, I prepared the things I need to bring for her. Extra shirts, diapers, toys (for emergency use only haha since I'm the one driving she needs to be busy), extra water, and a 4oz pumed breastmilk. (my baby has been purely breastfed) 😍
After preparing everything for her, that's the only time I'll be able to prepare myself. 😅
Being a mum doesn't come easy, but as time passes, and everything becomes a routine, it's as though you're used to it and it becomes lighter as days go by. Lucky enough that my baby doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. She sleeps like a grown up. 😅
How about y'all mums out there in this community? How has it been for you today? ❤️
Don't be someone else
Everyday we try
To be someone else
But that's wrong
Getting tired
Trying to please you
One mistake, it's all gone.
But we can still try somehow...
Another chance
Maybe there could still be better days
A brighter one
For us to hope for
I do believe, things will be greater
Better than yesterday
Better than we'll ever know
I made this when I was somewhat in my low moments. I felt like I've invested too much of my time on something or someone who would not even bother to appreciate the little things. As time went on, it's as though I wasn't myself anymore. Still, I believed in what beauty the world could give. So here I am, happy. ❤️
Expected to be everything (and it's okay)
**June 23, 2o20**
It's almost 7 months since I became a mom. There's been ups and downs (normal), highs and lows, and all inbetween. I am currently staying with my mom since my partner is away-working. I haven't been able to do everything, to finish everything as they expect me to. It's fine, since I need to contribute with the chores considering I am staying with my mom.
At the end of every day, I always get drained from all the things is do, from keeping up with my *"napakakulit na baby"* (yes, she's just 7 mos and she's really draining all my energy! Haha it's fun tho) and doing all the chores that I can. From doing the dishes, the laundry, sweeping the floor and all. (as much as I can, I do everything on my own. I don't want to bother anyone if I know I can do it.) being a mom and a father all at once is not easy. Most of the times, my child would look for a father figure, well luckily I have my father and my 2 brothers here who would play with her when she is seeking for a father figure and she feels contented about it.
Her father and I are in good terms by the way. Haha it's just that I feel like, at an early age for my daughter, she's been longing for a father to be with her while she grows and learn things. (I hope everything would be okay as soon as possible so much so my partner would be able to come home and be with her too 😔)
One thing I have learned is that whatever happens, your child will always be your strength on whatever's coming. They will always give that joyful smile and laughter to cheer you up even in your most gloomy days. She may drain your energy but believe me, she'll be the same person who'll give you a re-charge. ❤️ It's like you'll always have hope in everything. I guess that's why they say a child is a blessing. 💞
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Sharing a little bit of our mornings
**June 22, 2020**
I felt so dizzy early this morning since I had to force myself up to take care of my little one. She's almost 7 mos old and her sleeping routine has changed (drastically changed) and it's okay since it's normal for babies to drastically change their daily routines and sleeping time! ❤️
So there it was, I had to prepare her food since she loves eating with the family. After which, we went outside to have a taste of some vitamin D from the sun! I felt relieved, I guess it's really a good thing to go outside early in the morning, it helps you boost your mood! As I looked up at the sky I felt so happy that I was able to see a clear and blue sky after some days of rain. ❤️
We went to the soccer field just like any other usual day, we played with the wet grass (sad, I wasnt able to take any photos anymore since I wasn't able to bring my phone with me)
Anyway, being a mom of a 7-month old baby girl (who's been really reaaaaally active for her age - it's really energy draining haha) is very fulfilling. Being able to watch her grow and learn new things. Hearing her voice as if she's so proud that she's singing just like everyone else around her. Being able to see her smile every single day makes my heart full of joy.
So, here's a photo of my child after eating her breakfast 😂 it's funny how she'd always grab my food and would try eating it. She'd cry over a food that she had already finished! (when she does that, she means she wants more!) she loooves drinking water also! I think she also feel refreshed! (I let her drink warm water)
Since it's just 9:55am here, this would be all for for this morning. Maybe I'll try posting another later this afternoon.
How about you guys? What's your morning story?
Happy Monday everyone! ❤️
A little bit of sunset
I don't know when it all started but damn! I just love how sunsets makes my heart at ease and brings so much bliss!
sunsets proves that there is
beauty even in darkness (char) 😅
Have you ever felt like your feelings are being one with the sunset? How you tend to make stories about the colors you see? And then you just close your eyes and feel everything else around you? ❤️
Haha! Well, I do that a lot! I've always been so obsessed with these kind of sceneries! It never gets old, and neither one of every sunset I see and I have seen are never the same. ❤️
It makes you fall in love every single time!
To whoever's reading this,
I may be nowhere to be found near you, but know that whatever struggles you have right now, even when the world feels like crashing and crumbling all at once, know that, even in our darkest times, there will always be a space, even just a little bit of it, find that hope you've lost somewhere in your subconscious mind. Don't let your demons devour your sanity. You are stronger than what you think you are. Know that, there will always be someone who loves you even when you feel so unlovable.
Let the sunsets remind you that even in darkness, there is hope; a hope for a better version of you.
*Continue to love despite the world being so tough on you.* 💕
Photos are taken from a rice field near our home. And I am so thankful that even when I could not travel much, I have sceneries like these! ❤️
Much love,
Little "worm"
If the world was ending (you'd come over, right?)
This specific article is inspired by a song.
I was actually doing the dishes, probably about 9 in the morning, I was listening to shuffled music on YouTube, then this song played...
If the world was ending (you'd come over, right?) 🎶
Have you ever felt how a song could make and break your heart? How a specific song could give so much goosebumps? How could that song make you think like "wtf!? Why! I was okay until this" 😢
The song actually made me feel lonely. It got me thinking about a past I thought would be a lifetime, invested too much of my time just to realize *"we weren't meant for each other... But it's fine"*
Have you ever experienced a time in your life where everyday, you're always hoping that that specific love would last, until it broke you, still, everyday, you're still there, reminiscing, still hoping that he'd mend you, that he'd be there for you, that in the end you'd still be able to re-live your stories of a lifetime?
I thought I was okay. For as long as I can remember, I was. Until this. For so long I was able to not think of him, but the song just hits me over and over again. And all of a sudden all my thoughts are about him. It's like I am trapped again, and it's starting to suffocate me. 😢
The part where Julia Michaels sings her part, it made me cry my heart out-again. And I was like "really!?"
It's like, everything you've prepared yourself for, accepting the fact that you'd be okay without him, accepting the fact that even promises of a lifetime could still be broken like promises; when you just love someone so much, whatever lifetime it is, there's still...even a bit, you'd still feel the ache and the happiness of the memories you have with that person.
If you don't know the song, try listening to it.

Day 2 on readcash: observation
Okay, so since I am new here, I guess what will be stated here are just mere skin-deep information or lets say they are raw information.
**Point system**
So, I have read how @Read.Cash gives out points, right? We are aware how we're able to receive specific points for specific tasks. Okay, so that's clear. My question here is that, some of the articles and comments that i've read, is that, some people are not receiving points whether or not they publish an article, submit it to a community which is in line with the community rules and regulation and title. I think I can say, I have observed this too myself. 😅 (well, I just want clarifications regarding this hehe so shout out to @Read.Cash it'll be my utmost pleasure to receive any response from you 👍)
**Authenticity of an article**
Okay, so, it is in your terms and conditions that all articles should be authentic or originally made by whoever posted it here. Let's say I made an article, like for example my first post https://read.cash/@Worm/came-across-a251c45b it's an original article, and I think maybe in my perspective it has quality as well haha but then my point conversion is still lower than others, I tried reading others work and I see they get up votes, is that one reason why they get more conversion from the little points they earn? Even when both users publish original articles? Hmm I just wanna know so maybe I could use that tip as well. 😊
**Receiving upvotes and conversion**
Here's a once upon a time for a newbie like me, I published my 1st article and submitted it to a newly created community. I received a $1 of encouragement "upvote" from the creator of that specific community unfortunately, as I have checked on my balance I only have $0.89 on it. Does that mean, even if it's from a separate fund, you will not be able to receive an equivalence of what was given to you? Or is it because it also affects the exchange of BCH to USD? I hope I'm making sense here **😅**
Anyhow, like what I've stated earlier, I am new here and yes, I have a lot of questions. So please bear with me.
**Communities**
So in this section, well, I know it might be too late for me to write this since read.cash already made their solution to this perhaps, well, better late than never, right?
What I have observed in the communities sections is that it's very overwhelming for a beginner like me haha 😅 (1) I'm not sure what community I can join to earn points (2) in the option "featured" there's no community I could post my work with. I don't know how I'll earn points (or I could try just doing some lazy old article just so I could fit mine to those available in the featured communities 😴😭) (3) some of the communities, as I've seen are what you've been tagging as "spam" or those which you do not consider as to where we could earn points. Haha So, my point is, I'm kind lost here 😅 please help 😁🗃️
I think that'd be all for now. 😅
To whoever is reading this, if you've been with read.cash for sometime now, do you mind sharing some tips on how will we receive more conversions like what I saw from other users posts?
PS thank you for taking time reading this, any suggestions or tips will be of great help for a newbie like me!
Raindrops
...raindrops starts pouring on our rooftop 🎶
It's funny how most people ask me why I am happy when the rain starts to pour. (not the type of rain that would cause so much destruction but the rain that would just make you feel at ease)
Well, actually, I don't know either. Its just that... Hmm 🤔 it just makes me feel calm-when I hear raindrops and feel it's cold wind gradually touching my skin.
Having coffee or hot chocolate while doing some work or just sitting by the porch on a rainy day; aaah it makes me feel so complete and relaxed. And I guess that's more than enough to explain why you see me so happy when it's raining. ❤️
Another thing is, I always love how it makes recordings sound so good! (haha especially when you're trying to record a song that's sad) 😅 like, it adds up to the sound and background of the song you're recording haha! Who agrees to this? 😊
Despite the things mentioned above, this is just my personal feelings and view about the topic. Others may have different point of view or even an opposite perspective about this, and that's okay! We're are humans and not meant to have the same thinking and perspective about anything 👌. You can also share your thoughts about the rain on the comment section so we can talk about it ❤️
Happy Thursday everyone!

Came across
So I was walking around town as I came across this beautiful scene. Made me realize how wonderful and privileged I am with the life I have right now; maybe you'll ask "maybe she's rich", "maybe she got everything she wants", "maybe she has no worries and is financially secured" and the list goes on...
But here's my answer...
Well, no, I am not rich, I don't have everything I want, I have a lot of things to worry about and I am not really financially secured on my own yet. But you know what I realize? Life doesn't put you anywhere close to just feeling the bliss alone, why? If so, I think you should start thinking about it. (well maybe in my perspective 🤔😅)
I think life is more than that. Life they say is a mixture of everything in between and everything else-that I guess is the time you can say you have experienced life at its fullest!
Here's an example:
You want to climb a freaking tall mountain, and guess what? You'll never be able to be on that top if you won't exert effort and give your all (hard work right?) until you feel satisfied that you have reached your goal climbing the top of the mountain. (I hope this makes sense) haha
So yeah, what I've realized is that, even tho we aren't rich and don't have everything we want in life-at least we have enough so secure our tomorrow, and the fact that we don't need everything to be happy. Having what you need is what counts; having what you want is a bonus for your hard work. 👌
And I hope, despite having hardships and all, we'd still have positivity in us, which would help us persevere and pursue to be better not only tomorrow and for ourselves but for our future and for every one that would gain from it!
Happy thrusday everyone! Sending love from here to wherever you are! 💕
