Challenge Accepted! Game Template
I accept the challenge given to me by @Dolores about a game template. I apologized for being late noticing the mention in my notif. 😁
I just borrowed this template and gave the credit to Ms. Dolores because its hers' and i don't have one.
Now 1-2-3 Here we go...
👍I still consider myself as a new user because i still have lots of things to learn in this platform so I put a mark in it.
👍Though i'm not as good as the other writers here, i still consider myself one.
👍I like photography but i'm not posting much. I am just being selective in posting them or waiting for a timing to post it. 😁
👍I earned my first dollar after 3 days of joining and i feel excited. I loved to write more and more after that. 😊
👍I only learned that Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency and its in my wallet. 😁 Kidding aside bitcoincash has a future, according to Coinmarketcap it reached topped 5 among all crypto currencies and might overtake bitcoin on its rank. Its has cheaper transaction fees and has much faster confirmation times than other cryptocurrencies. I'm having a hard time understanding the terminologies about cryptos so i only learn the basic. But i'm glad i found read. cash where i can earn bitcoincash.
👍I spend 1-3 hours a day in read.cash a day but i spend more specially when i am not busy.
👍My very first sponsor i can't forget was @Z_graeden. I have 3 favorite sponsors(still i won't mention) because they drop substantial comments in my articles, So i did the same. I have at least 7 sponsors but i notice they are starting to decrease😅 If I am not mistaken, I have still 6 remaining sponsors. Maybe i am not a good writer to be sponsored anymOre🙄 but its alright, its not a hindrance to write articles even you have less or no sponsor at all. I know i have friends who believes in my capability. I do believe in myself too😉😁.
👍I like upvoting specially when I find an interesting and very informative article. I even sponsored some writers which i think needs motivation to write more and some good writers also.
👍I met new friends, lots of them but i don't want to mention because i don't want to overlook someone😁.
👍At first i was a fan of giveaways but now, i only selected those giveaways which i think worth it to join and not just gaining subscribers and self advantage giveaways unlike @Dolores events. I don't find it boring. There's always something cooked in the pot ready to be served and makes me feel excited.
I'm a user for more than a month i think two months already but i am not active for the 1st and 2nd week. 😅
All in all i got 12/14 now its your turn. 😊 I challenge @Z_graeden @Vladilus to do the same. 😁
My Version of Wallpaper
I was interested by this challenge of brother @Jihan and @Bithi13 about their contest for wallpaper presentation.
I have two actually. My lock screen and my home page.
The image serves as my guardianin lock screen, same in the real life because she prohibits anyone who use use si my phone. This is actually a video as you can see. She's my youngest angel. I always smile when i look at her in this haggard situation. She just woke up that's why her hair is a mess.! 😅. She has a very fine hair that everytime she plays outside and sweats a lot, it flies away. I don't know which baby shampoo suits her because it becomes kinky after few hours from bathing.
I don't have a wall paper that time so i took the chance editing it and set it as my lock screen. Her older sisters' friends who comes to our house to chat and finds my phone unattended and tried to check my phone, only to find the naughty guardian in it. 😁
Here is my homepage wallpaper.
They are my eldest and youngest angels.Actually I didn't choose this image as my homescreen wall paper.. I was even surprised to find this image in my wall. The culprit is someone who likes having selfie with this little peach. I find it nice anyway so i edit it again and allowed it to stay in my wall. It seems that the little one is having a good mood. I like their smile. It brightens my day.
With this older girl, i encountered my first challenge in life. Being single ended up in one blink. Many struggles we faced with my husband just to raise her and provide her needs specially when she gets ill and made the hospital her vacation house. I have lots of doubts if i can do my responsibility as a mother or "will i be a good mother to her"? But realizing now, i don't just have her, she has pulled other blessings which i considered my treasures, her siblings. 😊
Few years from now, she will be at my age when i got pregnant of her, i am always overwhelmed with worries with what ifs'😔. I made a poem for her as a released of my anxieties. https://read.cash/@Xzeon/to-my-dearest-daughter-643fbcd9. I have no other wishes for her than to have a better future, all of my children, but in this moment i was focused on her because she's the oldest and in the stage of adolescence where relationshion can be developed anytime.
Every passing days i always reminded my children of my mistakes and adviced them not to do the same. I don't want them to experience the hardships i had when i was younger. Its the same dream my father had told me when i was still a child.
Well, this would be enough.. Happy reading!

Stop!
I was moved by @Kris2310 https://read.cash/@Kris2310/i-want-to-be-alone-for-a-moment-e89adae9#comment-c389c752
by her article about being alone and I just considered it for some time and thought I think I have to **STOP** and contemplate for quite a while.
Being distant from everyone else can help you in two unique manners. It depends how you manage your psyche to stream what direction you go. Either on negative way or the positive way. For me i pick the last one.
Some individuals with loads of awful recollections in the past doesn't have any desire to recall it any longer. Regardless you can likewise consider it a test to proceed onward with your life and make it a venturing stone to ascend and defeat troubles and obstructions that is to come.
I can't think positive contemplations constantly. I feel that turning behind my negative mem'ries i'm being a coward. I have to confront my bad dreams and manage it. That way likewise I can have the option to pardon the one answerable for those nighmares and diminish the weight in my heart. I can be able to enjoy the feeling to appreciate the good moments of the present. I can have the option to encounter the satisfaction in my heart.
Keeping yourself being stucked in the awful mem'ries in the past can by one way or another occupy you in having a genuine feelings of serenity. You can't confront the beneficial things in the present having a chain in your back pulling you steps in reverse and constraining you to confront it and manage it.
That at whatever point you see a delightful picture out of nowhere then suddenly it was secured with terrible ones. That's how difficult it is to remain stuck to a negative past. One approach to get over with it, is to acknowledge it and open the dim past and release it from your mind and be prepared for a fresh start.😊
Thank you for having your time.
Bad breath, a danger sign of parasite in your body
After all this years i thought that parasites are only staying in our stomach and intestines. But i found it wrong. I learned from a doctor and stated that their are thousands of parasite in our body. They can be found either in our liver, lungs and brain aside from our stomach which most of it are very dangerous to our health. The first sign of having the serious disease caused by the parasites is bad breath. The first time i learned this, i was shocked. Not because i have a bad breath😁. But i encountered a lot of people with bad breath and its not like its from their mouth. It smells different. 😅
According to some research one main reason of this issue is our environment polution and the peoples lack of knowledge about it.
Parasites can kill us... Parasites are not a disease, but they can spread diseases. Different parasites have different effects. In fact, it is said that many people died of a normal death unknown for its cause when it was parasites are responsible for their death.!
What is parasite anyway?A parasite is an organism that lives in another organism, called the host, and often harms it. It depends on its host for survival.
Parasites can develop in your liver, lungs, brain, blood, intestines and stomach which are very dangerous because they can harm your organs as quick as possible. Though other parasites destroys us slowly because they need to reach a level where they are more powerful enough to kill us.I ussually learned that bad breath is associated within our mouths like for instance if we have tooth decay and lefovers between our teeth but parasites are responsible for it.
The real thing is we all have parasites in our body, its just we can't detect them. If we are ill because of it, doctors treat us but it can only be detected by parasitology experts.
**📝Helminths**
One example of parasite that cause diseases is the tapeworm that can cause cancer. According to an expert, **helminths** is an ***intestinal parasitic worm such as tapeworms and liverfluke***. Its malignant cells spread to human organs and causes liver and urinary tract diseases, cyst in brain, muscle pains and worms under skin. Its infection is most common and most serious in poor countries. The distribution of these diseases is determined by climate, hygiene, diet, and exposure to an insect, and animals that carries germs that cause the diseases.
**📝Protozoa**
**-*****single*****-*****celled organism known*** ***as Plasmodium. A protozoa can only multiply, or divide, within the host***.
Its most deadly diseases are Malaria, African sleeping sickness,and amoebic dysentery.
And here is more mellow and might not be connected to bad breath but i would like to add.
It is anything but somewhat savage however whenever left untreated may cause significant issue in the host. **Ectoparasites**-they live on rather in their hosts. They incorporate lice and bugs influence the hair follicles. They are regular everywhere on over the world and spread through no holds barred contact. A response to their salivation causes tingling which I am just acquainted with. 😁
**Bedbug**- that influence the skin and vision. Sharing attire and bedding can spread disease. They might be available in recently leased convenience and lodgings.
**Crab lice**-influence the pubic zone and eyelashes,spread through sexual action, skin-to-skin contact, and sharing sheet material or garments.
**demodex**-can influence eyebrows and eyelashes procured from delayed skin contact
**Scabies**-can spread through sexual movement, skin-to-skin contact, and sharing sheet material or attire.
**Screwworm:** communicated by a fly, and it influences skin and wounds. It is found in Central America and North Africa.
Parasites live on or in different living beings and flourish to the burden of their host. A wide range of parasites can influence people, and they can pass on sicknesses such as malaria and trichomoniasis. Guaranteeing that food is completely cooked, utilizing creepy crawly repellant, and adhering to great hand cleanliness rules can decrease the danger of getting parasites.

Its Cooking Time
Few days back my mother-in-law asks for the older son to come with her because they are going to harvest her squash in her vast garden in the mountain.
When my son got home, he brought a lot of squashes.
We already consumed 4 aside from whats on the photo.
We cooked them and served with soup as our viand for how many meals and i observed that kids are getting bored of it😁 so i think of making an "okoy" to achieve another dish out of these squashes.
I grated the whole squash, a big one yeah! 🤭. My arms ached and felt tired of it 😅. Because i know that my kids loves okoy and even though they are full, they come back for it later so i decided to prepare the whole big one. (i used the rough shredder when the squash is a bit watery but if its dry i used the medium, i don't use the fine one)
I added the minced garlic, onions, ginger and chopped spring onions,
Add the egg to prevent the squash to spread out when you fry it. In every time i prepare an okoy, i ussually use one egg only. Even the
Add some flour little by little until the mixture is a bit sticky but not dry
. and added salt to taste using a fork so as to prevent the squash to extract much of its water.
I didn't include the measurements of my ingredients because it depends on you how much garlic, onion you use. But about the ginger i added it coz' someone is having cold in the house, if you add ginger just a minimal of it, or you can remove it in the list because it can add a bit spicy flavor on the recipe and kids might not like it, i fried it first in the pan before mixing in the squash.
Now heat the pan in a medium fire, pour some oil, make it enough that the okoy to be dipped fry.
Scoop a teaspoonfull of your mixture and press lightly then drop on the hot oil.
I use to pair it with liver sauce but my kids preffered soy and vinegar so i substituted the vinegar with lemon because i never store vinegar in my cupboard.
All done!
Thanks for reading🤗

Whats with Instant noodles?
All around the world, instant noodles has become famous. We usually like to prepare it during rush hours when you dont't have much time to prepare a descent meal for yourself and your family. But do you know that eating instant noodles has its benefits and disadvantages as well?
Aside from its easy preparation instant noodles contains several micronutrients that comes from fortified wheat flour. Some are iron, manganese, folate and B vita. These are essential for our blood and bones. It also contains a little bit of protein and fiber.
It was also said that people who eats instant noodles had a greater intake of thiamine and a higher intake of riboflavin than those who did not eat instant noodles according to some research. Thiamine helps prevent complications in the nervous system,brain, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines. It is also responsible in the flow of electrolytes in and out of our muscle and nerve cells. While Riboflavin is a vitamin that is needed for growth and helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy, and it allows oxygen to be used by the body.
How ever, eating instant noodles has its disadvantages also. Instant noodles are made to be stored for a longer shelf life, they are highly processed. They are low on nutritive content; high on fat,calories and sodium; and are adorned with artificial colours, preservatives, additives and flavourings that causes certain cancer and heart diseases. It contains a large amount of **MSG** that can lead some health disorders specially our nervous system.
Most instant noodles are made from refined flour. Refined flour has no fiber it causes slowing down our digestive system,and can often lead to weight gain, stress, headaches and migraines.
Some studies concluded that excessive consumption of instant noodle can not only trigger obesity but also metabolic ailments like diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, heart problems and so on.
There are even news about Maggi that thier noodles containing lead that has been a controversy and has affected other instant noodles manufacturers but this time you can't just let people be aware of it. They still come back into picking those well wrapped bricks of instant noodles into their groceries.
Consumption of instant noodles should be limited atleast once per week to prevent further diseases that may occur. We all know that too much of something is not beneficial.
Read. Cash Fund-Decreasing
During my stay in readcash i noticed that the measure of our readcash fund is diminishing either consistent or diminished a piece. But lately,I saw that our fund is diminishing quickly.
Its been more agreeable to remain in readcash the most recent couple of weeks since you can discover a ton of valuable articles in your feed and notifications, however, few weeks ago, I am dissapointed to such an extent that the spammers discover their way in here. What's more, they are getting bigger in number. I comprehend that the circumstance about this Covid pushed everybody to participate in this stage figuring they can increase a lot. Be that as it may, as I watched they gained a lot.
In anyone notice that our fund is diminishing, what do you think.? Other expert here in read.cash expressed this is the aftereffect of spamming. The spammers are taking our fund with their unquality post and their bundle of spamming in our remark box. They are acquiring much than we expected and the fund alloted for our day by day spending of $50 appears to have a break as watched. I trust this will be fixed soon before we will be amassed with spammers and our great writers will be disregarded. Because as of now we are tainted with Swarm Virus already. 😏
I simply checked the details and we are 21,000+ individuals as of now! 😅and I question if half of that individuals are acceptable authors ,if not just 10%. This disheartened me much.
Good morning. I've been very busy this few days or week but as much as i could, i keep checking on you readcash friends. May we all our good health.
Vandalism or Art?
Hi guys! Today I'm in our town and accompanied my mother-in-law to attend a seminar about installing electricity in her house...
As we walked along the walkway, I noticed the paintings on the walls of establishments we passed. I saw it before but I just don't have the time to give notice to them much.
These arts are creatively and colorfully painted yet simple. However, I can't just call it simple art. Though it looks simple, it has deeper meanings. It symbolizes our culture and the way of our living here in our place. It holds a lot of meaning.
This first painting represents our ancestors. See the way they dress. The woman is carrying a jar and a scoop. The jar serves as our container for rice wine, or the best preserving container for our salted meat. It also serves as our container for a "*haveng*", fermented boiled water with cassava, corn, pineapple, or any edible native products that can be added to the water. This fermented water turns out as a thirst quencher, and a body cleanser. However, if you are not used to it, you will hate its smell and its taste as well. You will even suffer diarrhea because your stomach wasn't used to it.
The man is holding a spear. A hunting armor for wild pigs, deers, and wild animals that serve as food for our ancestors. The spear and shield also served as a weapon to enemies that attacks our tribe. Our ancestors were warriors. I would add for your information that our place is home for the headhunters. We just don't hunt animals for food but enemies as well that kill our tribesmen and other invaders. Worry not because that was a long time ago.
Women wear a "*Tapis*", a colorful woven cloth that covers the body of our women. While men wear "*Vallakeh*" a G-string that covers only the lower part of our men. Both have long "*tails*" that most people in our country mistook for the real tail. That "tail" is another piece of woven cloth that binds our tapis so that it won't fall, while in men was the extra cloth that hangs behind and front part of their G-string.
This second picture is an image of a woman harvesting grain of palay that still hangs on its stalk. As you know, farming is the main source of our living here in our place. We don't usetypes of machinerys in harvesting, rather, we use "*lakem*", a man-made sharp iron with a wooden handle and manually cut the grain from its stalk.We gather the grains by bundlee not per sacks and let it dry under the sun for storing.
In our locality, you can find men and women with tattoos in their chests, and arms to their hands.These tattoos resembles beauty to women and a sign of being open to marriage. Other tattoos have meanings too.It shows the rank or status of a person, shows bravery during headhunts and an amulet to somebody with it.
Here is a hawk. It gives fear to our mother hen because her chicks are nice food to this predator. But, don't you know that every time this hawk cries in the air, our elders gave meaning to it? Yes, whenever this hawk cries at the wrong time of the day there will be death. Whenever this hawk cries when on the first day after a cultural rest in our place our elders start to climb up to the mountain as a sign of the first working day, it brings a good or bad omen.
Up to this day, it is still believed that the hawk's cry gives sign to our people.
I find this image below similar to a character of an epic of the Ilocanos "***The*** ***Life of Lam-ang***", only his wardrobe differs. In Igorots, most people have a rooster or a hen in every household. They have to because they needed it for sacrifice during managing or cultural practices. As for the dog, aside from being a friend, they serve as our companions while hunting. They also serve as our sacrifice during "*Daw-es*", another cultural practice applied for every mischief or bad dream that occurs in a family. They do it to ask for help to the " *anitos*" dead spirits and Lumawig to deter the bad luck to happen. They also do it for Thanksgiving as well.
Of all the paintings, here is the last, my favorite. This is ***Lumawig***, son of ***Kabunian*** which our people in the olden times believed to be the creator of our Universe. Upon studying its stories, it's similar to the bible in which we had ***Jesus*** the son of our ***God Almighty***. Only the difference is the way the pagans treat the god Lumawig. They connect him to "*anitos*" or the dead spirits and thought of being saved by doing rituals using sacrifices to appease them. There are lots of stories I read about Lumawig's adventures. Though they are just made-up stories by our ancestors, it has a deep connection to the way we live today.
I hope you enjoyed my photos guys...
I edited this article and added more information than the last time I posted this.
Thank you all for reading.

"Pandemic Survival"
Time check 2:52 am PH time
This is somewhat another feature of my article regarding our life here as a farmer in our locality. I may wish you to read it again till the end and discover another story behind the picture i just shared.
If somehow you happened to visit our village, you may find many houses from the top view if you are standing beside the national road and look down to our small territory 😊
If you try to zoom in the picture you will find similar rusted roofs wherein you might mistook for a house. Most foreigners who pass by and took photos of our village thought we have lots of little houses. But the truth is, those little houses are our granaries.
This granary can store our rice crops for how many years. Even decades. Yes decades! How? Well, our grain has a unique quality that a weevil can't infect and we can store it up to how many years. In fact, our granary is still storing our grandfathers' rice crops from their generation until now. Amazing isn't it.
On the contrary, the taste quality of the rice will vary from its newly harvest aromatic and sticky to a bit rough and dry taste. This is due to the added years of storage. The color will change also from light yellow skin to gold while its rice when milled will become yellowish also.
One may ask why we stored our crops for so long and not consume it instead. The answer is from our ancestors also, they taught us to save for our future. According to my uncle in-law, long time ago, the folks didn't have rice to eat but instead they survive from crops from sweet potatoes and their viand is a "kalap" another relative of beans family, they only eat meat from their game when they luckily hunt something.
When a foreign minister first came and introduce the rice seeds to our ancestors, they treat the grains like a precious gold. They began creating terraces of paddy field using piled rocks as a support to plant the seeds and when they harvested their labor, they stored more than what they consume. They stick to eating sweet potatoes and beans and eat their rice in some occassions only. Its like preparing cakes on birthdays only.
When they began to produce some more, they thought of building storage room for the rice as it will make their homes so crowded not with people but with rice crops🤣. Because houses long ago are also small and the size is 5 times the size of this granary. One part of it is an open storage for their sweet potatoes. It is the time when they invented our granary.
(terraces are for the mountaineers who do not have flat or plain location for their paddy field and gardens)
(This part of the story i enjoyed most). 😁During Japanese invasion, our women ancestors fled into the higher part of the mountain and hid themselves leaving some of their companions behind in the village. Those who were left witnessed how the invaders got puzzled on how to open the granary and keeps circling it because the door is not visible and the walls are the same🤣. They can't open it because the folks cannot understand their language even they ask for assistance🤣. So it was left untouched. When the invaders left the folks have something to eat after a long absence and not active planting their food.
The walls of the granary should be fit and tight so that rodents can't enter. But it needs checking from time to time because mice have sharp teeth and can gnaw the wood if they do it repeatedly. So with the roof because they used dried grass as their roof before not like the picture i just shared using galvanized roofing. The rain might enter the roof and may cause the upper part to get wet and rot.
So you see,In here, we can survive even in this pandemic because we stored enough for our future thanks to our ancestor. We can also produce our own vegetables from our backyard and emply lots not only during pandemics but its our habit. Addition to that is our character. We know how to control and discipline ourselves. Since the pandemic started, fortunately we don't have cases of COViD19 in our village. People are discipled and our health workers implement strict procedures within the community to keep our place a safety haven. There are cases in our town due to some individuals who came from cities but it doesn't rise to the number of 10 since the pandemic started. This is not to brag but i'm only sharing and I thank God for that. ❤️
I hope you enjoyed reading the article guys and gave you some information regarding the place i live and how we live.
Time check 3:49 am PH time. Am retiring to bed again😁
Another entry to Daily Trends Photo essay event from @Dolores
Heres the other part of this article. Mind if you visit.
https://read.cash/@Xzeon/to-the-fields-we-go-b0a08b6c
"To the Fields We Go"
Maybe you might be wondering whats in the picture...
The picture is one of our precious tool we used in harvesting our rice here in our place.. If in other places they use sickle in harvesting their crops, in here we call it "lakem". In this article i'm going to feature the way how we harvest our palays(ricegrains). Please read till the end. Imagine you are with me under the rays of the sun with the soft blows of the wind surrounded by yellow golden grains.
Using the tool in the picture, we cut the stalks with our fingers and hold it in our other hand, when it reaches the size to be bundled, we tie it using dried and cleaned straw of a bamboo plant family... Handling it is very difficult for a new user because you will get blisters in your fingers first before you become an expert. 😁
These past few days, i'm busy in accompanying our relatives in harvesting their palays. Its featured in one of the article of @Z_graeden , the "Bayanihan"
By this activity, came the idea why not make an article for it as i really wanted badly to create one so here it goes...
We as a group young and old alike lend our hands to our relatives, neighbors and friends during harvest season. This remarkable trait and custom doesn't leave us because its part of our living here in our village. In return for this free labored activity, the ricefield owner or the farmer will provide our meals for the whole day. The foods are one of what we love most during this season. 😉
The foods are excellent, the fragrance of a newly cooked native rice floats into the air and our viands are boiled, smoked and salted meat and boiled beans and vegetables. Maybe you don't like it but its our delicacy in here. Its very nice eating in the open field. The feeling is like you are having a picnic. Our beverage is an extract from ricewine.
After the harvest, bundled grains are collected and the total harvest are divided between the ricefield owner and the farmer who farmed his ricefield. But if its the owner alone farmed his own ricefield then he has no one to share.
Next is the division of bundled rice among the boys who brought their "gimmat" (a woven rice carrier). If the harvest can't be carried by the boys alone, women will carry what what left. But in most situation, nothing was left.
And the last is, we all head home though tired from the heat of the sun but with satisfaction that we accomplished something beneficial.
You may find this boring but i enjoyed the activity...
I'm sending this entry to Daily Trends (1c5e) essay

https://read.cash/@Dolores/photo-essay-event-updates-47fd5c9a
I'm going to the field again ... A cousin of my husband just called while i'm typing this article
"I'm sorry My Child"
"Mother's Guilt"
As i read miss @kat2x article, i am somewhat feeling gulped by mem'ries back during my childhood.
I was adopted by my uncle whom i called Papa when i became familiar with my first steps. Together with her wife they brought me in the city and raised me as their only daughter. They are very strict to me specially my step mom. When i accomplished something incorrectly i will be squeezed by my stepmom. My dad is strict but in a way that i regard him. He doesn't just lift his hands without valid reason. Its the best attitude i admire from him the most. He likes to tell me stories about his difficulties in his childhood and he said he doesn't want it to happen to me.
As i grew older, my stepmoms negative attitude towards me marked deep in my mind and the way she diciplinined me taints the memories of my dads good attitude in my heart. I can't move freely because of her. She dictates me as if a 'm a slave and treats me badly. I need to follow everything she says even the clothes i wear the amount of food i' m going to eat. Even playing outside she didn't allow. So whenever i'm in school, i spread my wings and enjoyed playing with my classmates and resulting to beatings again because i came home late and with my clothes a lil bit dirty. 😏When dad is around i felt like i was rebolted out from jail. Perhaps you wonder why i didn't tell my dad whats her wife is doing towards me. Well, i can't. I feared that if dad will leave for work again, my stepmom will rebuff me for doing it. 😔
My father is a private small-scaled gold miner so it takes 3 months and more for him to be with us since they remained in their worksite for a considerable length of time and simply return home if they they mined a little and collected their reward for all the hard work and offered it to gold purchasers. So I am left alone with my stepmom. What's more, it makes me frightened regularly of my life. At the point when I accomplished something she didn't like for i'll recieve beatings from her.
Fast forward, When I got married, and had kids, I accidentally being brought back by my thoughts to my youth days with less fun, brimming with dread, and disdain in my heart. I don't need my kids to endure as I did. I needed to pour my adoration to them however in certain conditions I needed to train them and need to lift my hand and beat them. I'm being severe with them yet not to the point that they feel like I have a tight grip in their throat. I gave them opportunity to pick and choose what they need however offering feedbacks to their decisions. Along with my husband, we gave them what they need. Spoil them sometimes in a while and assembled a relationship wherein they will not be aloof to us.
There are bad times that when i'm in a bad mood i became harsh and shout at them. I even punched my 8yrs old son in his shoulder when he did something very bad but when i see his scared reaction after that, i came back to my senses and hugged him tight and say am sorry my child and i cried.
When one time my daughter answered back at me when i scolded her, i suddenly slapped her. One more time i cried and ask her an apology. It did good because she never answered me back again. But i fear that she might be distant to me so i talked to her from time to time and explained to her why i did such harsh action is for them to be disciplined. It hurts really seeing my childrens' face with fear when i hurt them. I wanted to gain respect from them and obey us and not just to following orders because of fear.
Fortunately, my husband and i are having good times with my children. We can bump our elbows, say some sarcastic words with each other and they can even correct us when they think we are wrong. We are like close friends that enjoys telling stories from each others activities from school and from their experience with their peers. They even throwing jokes to one another with us which all of this present experience i didn't feel when i was once a child. When i am with them, i feel a new childhood brought to life.
Ms @kat2x experience as a mom with guilt is normal because we are normal mothers also. And about grandparents who spoils their grandchildren, i saw a lot of that in our place... They are even more closer to our children than we do. They spoil them and sometimes cause trouble when they interfere with our way of disciplining our own kids. Its annoying but i think its juzt like that. I've no parents who questions me because dad passed away already. And my stepmom prefer to babysit her nieces' daughters that my kids😏. But i have a grandma.. So i feel what @kat2x feels.
"I'm a mom and I do all my best I and give what I can afford to give my children. The most important thing is that I establish love among them siblings and for us as parents, is full respect as they grow. Soon they will build great respect for me, for sure same with other people." I like this part of the authors end msg.
So do I. I love them that i want to give them everything i can afford if its for their own good.

Same Comment Alert
I have no idea about this but when i encountered it and popped up in my screen.. I just gave myself a thought and contemplated for it a moment. This appears when you comment something in the comment box. It happened to me 3 times already and I understand it saying i just commented the same as my previous but i recalled i did not. 😅So i need to go back to my comment and replenish it one more time because if i stubbornly insist to sent it, the pop up message shows again. 😅
But heres my point... Why can't @readcash let it popped up to those who always comment the 1-2-3 words in articles if they think of minimizing spammers🤔
I appreciate you share your thoughts with mine.
"Dancing Without Music"
Parenting Struggle #1 : Keeps You Awake 'till Morning
There are lot ot articles i want to share my point of view and reactions but i choose this article of @kat2xbecause i relate the experience very much.
I am a mother of six so i experienced a lot of struggles with different mood swings of my babies during their 1st day to 1 month of their early stage or more. But my 1st born is the worst and my last child.
In my journey as a mom, it is not complete without the sleepless nights. Their are lot of times when you need to dance without a music in the middle of the night. I can't even lay the baby down so i ended up sleeping while sitting carrying the babe still in my arms with a baby carrier. Sometimes you do not know why thy are crying even you fed them already, changed their nappies, and even checked their little clothes and blankets to see if there are crawling insects biting their delicate skin but still they cry as loud as they might. It made me feel irritated sometimes and asked the babe "why can't you just make your mouth shut"! foolishly realizing later that the baby can't understand.
There are sleepless nights when you had the chance to lay down that little creature and felt relieved and decided to take your eyes at rest and just caught your sleep when a shrill cry flies over the entire room making your drooping eyes open heavily. You even just let the other eye keep closed😁.
I feel tormented during those moment but when they closed their eyes and smile on their sleep, it made me cry and felt a gush of warm feeling inside my heart. Those are the moment also that you experience hapPiness for having an angel in your arms sleeping innocently. With those eyes so lovely staring at you even you know they can't see you seems to peel away my stress and exhaustions.
I agree with Miss @kat2x when she says we should understand our children and be good to them even they don't understand us because i know that they can feel the inside of us. If we are calm they are also calm but if you're irritated and anxious they also feel the same.
Remembering those moments are the best mem'ries i can't forget.
I hope you like it Guys!

Readcash improved...
I noticed this awhile ago when i scrolled to reply a comment in my notification.
Its a bit improvement in readcash on my part. But may i also suggest to include a swiping method so that its easy to swipe away the unwanted notifications you do not want to read. I always click the "mark as read" button mistakenly and bypassed some good articles unintentionally.
One thing more thing i experienced lately is having trouble in refreshing the site. I don't know if am the only one experiencing it. It started yesterday and a bit well today. I know our network is good because i opened some other sites to try the network strength but i can access to it easily but when i go back to readcash, im stucked in the same page.
As to my points, it shows 0.00 sometimes for hours but later its back to normal.
Well, hope all is well.. Happy readcash earning and sharing good thoughts.
"Behind The Face"
Are you feeling frustrated, angry, or sad but somehow managed to hide your feelings behind a smile? It is safe to say that you are feeling baffled, irate, or miserable however some way or another figured out how to shroud your emotions behind a grin.? This is @Xzeon greeting you a nice Great day/night.
On the off chance that you do, you are by all account not the only one who do likewise. We have experienced such a large number of individuals around us with various characters, for example, happy and genuine ones, their are also some who appears to carry the world behind their back. 😁
I most definitely normally cover my sentiments even in a troublesome circumstance like I needed to blast out crying however taking a look at the crowd infront of me, I figure out how to hold it and release it later. Be that as it may, mind you, don't do it frequently in light of the fact that it might cause coronary illness for holding tragic feelings. ☝️
Behind those various faces, we should realize that we as a whole have shrouded passionate state. Those individuals who looks upbeat and clad themselves with gold are typically troubled for having not many genuine companions. Some who are wearing worn out garments and figure out how to take care of themselves with straightforward rehashed menu on their tables regular are normally cheerful and contented. Some whom you was aware of being quiet and can convey their feelings well are for the most part the one experiencing deppressions. While the individuals you are aware of being serious and dull are the one living cheerfully and having an energizing life.
So you see? , their are concealed appearances behind the pictures you for the most part experience regular. We should learn to respect every single individual we encounter because we do not know the story behind their faces.
How about you? Did you happen to do the same? I'm waiting to hear from you.
Dear Subscibers, I just have to remind you that i will not be commenting on your article from now on if i don't find the EXC mark on your post. Thats all thank you.
@Xzeon
Are You being unsatisfied with your Appearance?
This is @Xzeon again my beloved readcash friends. Let me greet you with a shining shimmering splendid day/night everyone. 😁
Everyday, when you face the mirror, do you somehow not satisfied the way you look in your reflection in the mirror? When sometimes, on the other side of your mind you think that some parts of your body isn't right?
Well, there are people who thinks the same as you do.They are never satisfied the way they look. That on some point they envy their friends on having such beautiful face, nice body shape, light skin complexion, etc.
Everything we see in the mirror, are the things we need to accept. If there are some that can be change, well, good but don't get obsessed on something you can't change.
In the first place why do you think you are ugly, or why do you find your figure so thin or too fat?
Reasons why we find ourselves imperfect:
👉 Parents' influence - If a mother/father is obsessed with their image, that happens to their son and daughter also.
👉 Peers - young people mostly influence their peers by commenting negative views about their looks. This drives them to change themselves into something they think is desirable to fit in with the group.
👉 Low self-esteem- one who adores his/her own body image always expect positive reaction from others about his/her look.
👉 Strong influence of media - Media has a strong magnet that pulls young people and contaminates their mind. Being a fan of a certain celebrity with desirable image makes the young ones to copy them and resulting to frustration when they realize that the possibility is impossible.
You don't need to change anyway. The most important is you are healthy. Being overly concerned about how you look can be dangerous. Watch your attitude and be realistic, if you have insecurities you will feel bad about thinking negative thoughts about yourself.
Remember that "Man sees what appears to the eyes; but God sees what the heart is."
Being pretty/handsome can attract attention easily but that is just an outside quality. What people remember the most is your inner beautiful quality. And you can find true friends through that qualities. Because no matter how you look like there are always some people who thinks you are beautiful inside and out.
What's in you that you think you wanna change? Mind sharing it here in the comment box. I want to hear from you 😊
Happy reading!!!

"Til our hair turns Grey"
We we're so blissful back then,
Thinking this kind of pleasure would never end.
You used to whisper adorations to my ears,
And held my hand tight, that grip of comfort to ease my doubts and fears.
We have so much in our bucket list,
To build a home filled with kiddies.
We'll fill it with laughter and no agonies,
We'll plant love, and let it flourish.
We use to gaze at the the stars together,
Me, leaning on your shoulder.
Meanwhile my hair you caress
And plant kisses on my cheeks.
You used to look into my eyes intently,
Murmuring words of affection so sweetly.
a smile the only gesture i can answer
And a warm hug 'cause i'm lost of words my dear.
We always dreamed together with so much ardor,
That together we reap the harvest of our own labor.
Together we dreamed of watching our children grow,
And someday with our wrinkles together our birthday cake we'll blow.
Staying by my side you promised,
I held on to it and cherished.
You said you are one of those sparkling stars above,
Always on the watch, to me, the one you love.
But- why do you have to go away my love?
Why left me in so much despair?
How can i reach you above?
Why life is so unfair?
Why there's such place called heaven,
When i'm here left with my heart so broken.
Why did you choose to left so early?
Does my love is'nt enough? tell me!
Oh! Love, why does it have to be this way?
Couldn't you wait till our hairs turn grey?
Why does it have to be this tragic?
When all seems to be okay but gone in just a blink.
Oh God! Could you lend a stair for me?
So i can have a glimpse of him, oh how i missed him terribly.!
Hear me Lord, have pity on me!
Hear the wailings of woman who used to be happy.
I know somewhere dear, you can hear my prayer.
That somehow i hope in my dreams you will appear.
And one more time you will hug me tight,
To alleviate my pains even just for a night.
I have no one to lean to anymore,
No one to comfort me when i mourn.
I have no one to share my pain and sorrow.
Because i depended much on you.
Now i gaze at the skies alone,
With my heart squeezed to bleed and forlorn.
Whispering words of comfort and love
To the child inside my womb.
