Yesterday February 16, 2022, marks the 2nd month after the super typhoon hits our place. I have to temporarily stop working after a Super Typhoon devastated our place.

Power outages are the main reason why I can't go back to work.

However, I got to survive financially for a couple of weeks using the Christmas bonus from my boss. Until I was run out of money. I am glad that I have some earnings from my noisecash and readcash. I think I had $25 on both platforms but then the BCH price goes dipper. I don't want to convert it into fiat but I left with no choice. I need to buy milk for my son.

Life is getting harder since my husband didn't have a regular job. I have to find ways to earn money. I can't just sit and relax at home doing nothing.

I came to the idea of asking for a favor from a friend of mine if he can help me. I told him that I needed to earn money online, but my problem is that I don't have enough load so I can access it online, glad he Was willing to help and sent me P300 pesos worth of load. He was Heaven sent. I don't have to worry about mobile load anymore.

All I need is to find a stable internet connection and of course, a free charging station to charge my phone. But living in a remote area where a stable internet connection is really hard to find. It consumes a lot of time and we all know that using mobile data drains your phone battery faster. I can't stay online always since I have to stay outside the house just to find a better Internet connection.

I wanted to write articles at night but my phone battery is usually dead around 4 or 5 pm. I am just glad that my daughter who takes in charge of charging my phone at our barangay hall. At least I am not the one who keeps waiting for my phone to be fully charged. Well, I hate waiting.

I managed to reach my weekly goal for the past two or three weeks ago. I have to earn $12 or P600 so I can buy 1.2 kg Milk for my son. I started to worry this week because I don't earn much on both noisecash and readcash. I can't earn $1 a day in noise cash and my articles are not earning much like before. I felt disappointed and lost my interest in doing noisecash and writing articles every two days.

Last Saturday my anxiety attacks me again. That was around 3 pm and I wanted to sleep and relax my mind but it's like my mind won't stop working. My head was aching so much. My husband tried to comfort me and he kept on asking me what was wrong with me but I don't want to talk. I even lost my appetite. I don't want to hear any kind of noise. I was so irritable. Glad I still managed to sleep that night.

Sunday morning I woke up early and grab my phone and tried to find a better Internet connection. Checked my crypto wallets and my investments. Then suddenly I got a message from the girlfriend of my eldest brother. She invited us for her birthday. Since it was her day off she celebrated it with my parents. I told my husband that we will be going to my parent's place. I told him also that my aunt who lives in Singapore chatted with me to get our package at my grandmother's house. My mood was changed. I felt happy. Finally, I can relax my mind. It's something different from my daily routine. I got to see my parents. My husband didn't come with us because it's harvesting time for rice fields. He has to help harvest the rice. At least we don't have to buy rice for the next months.

I was with my daughter and son. We headed to my parent's place using our motorcycle. I can see that my daughter was happy that she was able to visit her grandparents. My son was also excited. You know kids love to wander.

We were able to get our package from my aunt and I helped my Mom to prepare and cook for the birthday celebration. It was a double birthday celebration for Luisa(my eldest bro's GF) and an advanced birthday celebration for my younger brother. We headed back home around 4 pm.

When we were back home I received a chat message from Rose(store owner near my workplace). She told me that maybe our electricity at the computer shop is finally okay. I told her that I was just waiting for the update from my boss because they are the ones who process the papers needed so we can have our electricity back. I immediately message my boss about the news and she told me that her husband will check the wirings inside before I can open again their business.

Monday night when I got a message from my boss telling me that I can finally go back to work. I felt so happy when I received her message. Finally, after almost two months of not being able to work, I can finally go back to work. I will not have to worry about the money for the milk of my son.

Last Tuesday the computer shop is finally operational again. Though we can only offer offline services such as printing documents, ID pictures, and laminating we still managed to earn more than our minimum sales daily. I am honestly happy that I am back to work. Staying at home all day is not good for me. I used to work every day for almost 8 years.

As of today, I sent all my earnings from noisecash and readcash together with all my investment from my smartbch account. Now I am back to grinding more so I can save more BCH and hopefully I can hold it for a longer time

Final thoughts

We just have to be more patient. When we are struggling God is working for the best. We need to trust his process and always believe that timing is everything.
