Hello everyone, I signed-up weeks ago but it's just now that I post something. Glad to be here!

Love! Many if not most of the time, we are battling within ourselves if we forgive and forget or choose just one of these two then let go. We thought that it's okay, it is normal, and that we can live peacefully. But we know within ourselves too that there is an empty space no matter how many years will pass or how many laughter we encounter; we cannot pretend forever. I realized as I was looking at this afterglow photo I took earlier that no matter how dark or wicked a…
Let them fly Seeing this butterfly this morning made me realize that it is like how our parents molded us. When we were still crawling like the catterpillar, they have countless of sleepless nights. They sacrificed a lot of me time like movies, salon, shopping and more like how the leaves of a plant sacrifices when the catterpillar eats most of their leaves. They let us enjoy each moment because our happiness is a treasured moment written in their hearts. They nurture us…
Sunset Story 1 One day, a girl named Martha went to the beach wandering and wondering. It was sunset then, her face was blank as if she don't know her direction and what she will do exactly. She loves going to the beach chasing sunsets. Sometimes she go there with friends but most of the time she goes there alone. She enjoys capturing every scene and experimenting different shots. But today is different, she felt so tired and empty. There was a missing piece in her that…
Been in different social media app that pays these past few days and I realized that many of us joined for fun and interactions and the earnings is just a bonus. Am I right?

Teach them young Kids are natural wanderer, explorer and fast learner. The words, actions and values we instill them will linger in their minds and will form part of how they will be as they grow up. I have a 5-year old daughter and a nephew who is 1-year old. They treat each other as true siblings; sweet, caring and very protective of each other. As kids, sometimes they get jealous of one another which I think is hard to remove from them as we as adults are sometimes like…
Not an ordinary day It's easy to say that today is just one of the ordinary days especially when we are to have a very routinary works either at home or at work. But think about it really, was it really that ordinary? Today, I have my regular routine. Started my day feeding my daughter, take a bath, then we go to the beach for about 30 minutes then I'll have my breakfast while my daughter is already solving or coloring. After breakfast, we will setup her study table and…
Plant more In our small space in the city, I have several plants that I maintain and grow like veggies, cactus and succulents and some ornamental plants. During lockdown, I got the chance to plant more that I used plastic bottles and plant different kinds of vegetables like tomatoes, bell pepper and even water spinach. All were successful and even harvested thrice before we went home to our beloved province. When we came home, I started collecting ornamental plants from our…
Valentines day February 14, 2020, I woke up early for work thinking of something random that would make someone smile this special heart's day. I initially thought of giving them to my teammates or my close officemate. As I stepped down at the van, I went straight to the fruits vendor and bought 5 pieces of apple and put them straight to my bag; I did not ask for plastic bag as I am an advocate of no plastic. As I was walking on my way to the officer, I saw the coconut…
What is love? As I was browsing some articles when I come to notice this question by @**Mnymosyne, what is love?** Love is such a powerful word that when I was growing up I just define it as a love of my family. The infinite bond that set no boundaries no matter how bad you may become. They are always there to accept you, give the tightest hug and the sweetest kiss and smile. Then I found my best friend, my partner, my love. It's a different kind of love. A love that you…
My phone! What's my favorite thing on earth? Quite a challenging question It needs more focus and attention Not just do the locomotion It requires more thinking and emotion. My daughter is my favorite person, But she is not a thing so I must not include her in the option. My plants, they are precious like stones Do I consider them a thing? No. There are a lot of things rumbling, Then I come to only one simple thing, MY PHONE! It's one of the best thing that man ever…
Get out! Sometimes in life, we need to get out and get lost to see the real picture, the real scenario and what lies behind the camera or the frame. If we are inside a box, our actions and resources are limited. But if we get out, explore and expand our horizons, we will see the real beauty of everything and we can see clearly what we have been missing. We are at some point in our lives was in that situation or maybe up until now we still are. At first we don't want to get…

I am fine with it and love every bit of it! I amazed of how you…
Verse of the day: Galatians 1:10 NIV 'Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.' Galatians 1:10 NIV We work hard everyday and we strive to reach our goals; all these we do for our family, for ourselves. But do we recognize God with all these? Do we acknowledge Him when we are on top, happy and celebrating our triumph? Sometimes not, right? We…
Plant again? Yeah, that's what my daughter tease me whenever I am fixing our garden, re-arrange and re-pot them. Even when I watch even a video or when we have a random walk to the beach and notice a different kind of leaf or flower. That is how addicted I am with plants especially this covid days, but I don't buy. I just ask from our neighbors and they are generous enough that I have now different kinds and varieties.😍 And just this morning on our way home from the beach, I…
Unplanned trip This morning, my sister said that we will be having a picnic at the beach but not in our usual venue. There is a huge coral nearby and she is planning to bring us there. But when they went there and check, a lot of family or circle of friends were already at the site and so she decided to postpone it the next week and just have snacks at home. I was a bit sad since I already prepared my OOTD for it. But of course I just said okay😁 After our afternoon snacks,…
My daughter strikes again! Hello Ms. @Judith1969 , I know you miss my stories about Yuri and so here you go! ...^•^... Since we came home to our beloved province, it has been part of my daughter's daily routine to call her aunts for breakfast, snacks, lunch, snacks and dinner. And she will get reward or a simple treat. And just the other day, she called her Tita Bey, our eldest sister, for breakfast and my sister said okay after the meeting. It was just 7am then. Then at 8…

The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 NIV ...^•^... Hi, how are you? Hope you are all good and feel the love; a genuine one. It's normal for us to have fear; fear of losing the one we love, to be left alone, our work, our passion, our confidence and many more. Yes, we fear a lot that sometimes even other people's problem…
Stucked? Feeling stucked somewhere? Too many thorns hinders you in achieving your goals? Well , they are part of life. Actually they are big part of it and all we have to do is to accept, deal and choose either to flow with or against it. Of course we want to get out from that situation, that dark and stressful part. We will find and think of ways to move that hindrance or remove those thorns so we can smoothly pass through with it. We are lucky if we have the proper…
Look closely my dear! Look closely my dear, These are not my tears Because of hatred and fear Nor trials and pain. Look closely my dear, So you can see it loud and clear And let your heart even hear That my love for you is pure and sincere. Yes, look closely my dear I have a confession to make That after searching and waiting These tears are of joy, of love and of gladness Because finally, I found the missing piece that my heart has been praying and longing And is now ready…

Focus and pray! How do you overcome challenges that life throws at you? https://read.cash/@Jane/500-subscribers-im-giving-sponsorhips-b9b884f0#how-do-you-overcome-challenges-that-life-throws-at-you Living each day is already a challenge itself. We struggle, we stumble, we fall, we cry, we sometimes blame and choose to stay away from the people that we love and worst, we commit suicide. I have gone through a lot of challenges and one of them is losing my father. It was 2013…
Pupa and Life How cute is this pupa I saw days ago. They are actually 3, maybe these are the caterpillars I saw days ago. I am curious how will the butterfly will look, what's her color and how big it would like but I am more excited to see how it actually get out from this envelope around her.

Nobody is perfect but you can be the best version of yourself every single day. Temptations are everywhere, even if you are just sitting doing nothing but your mind is wandering somewhere. So every morning, we need to have a time with the Lord. We need to tell Him our…

When you fall When you fall When you fall today does not mean you'll be there forever and for good. There be someone who will pick you up, either yourself or other person. You can never stay weak forever, you just need to recharge, regain your energy, and ponder. And one day you will stand up and restart. Take for example, when you are in the office you cannot sit for a long time for you will soon get tired and stand up, exercise a bit and even take a little walk. Another…

When act of kindness fails After office work me and my officemate agreed to attend the first Friday mass in Quiapo Church. It has been our routine since she introduced me to Apo as they call the Black Nazarene. Luckily when we ride the train there were a lot of vacant seats. We were happy and relieved that we will have a very relaxing journey. Then after 2 stations, the train started to be jam-packed and some were really became pushy and noisy. So me and my officemate just…
The leaves (morning musing) When we look closer to these leaves, we can see the flaws and imperfections that it has. But when you focus on the beauty of it as a whole, those tiny details of flaws are immaterial anymore. You will only see the freshness, the life and the hope that it represents. In life, it's also like that. When we are too close to a person no matter what he does we will always tend to take notice of a single mistake that he committed and sometimes question…
A lost soul *A lost soul* Needs someone to console Someone to catch the ball When it goes sideways roll Or someone to just dribble To set the tempo and hit the goal. *A lost soul* Needs someone by her side Lead or even carry her home Leaving no trace of tears and sadness But a smile of joy and gladness. *A lost soul* Needs a hand To lift her up, even just give a shoulder tap Or give her the warmest and tightest hug. *A lost soul* Needs to get out Enjoy the sun and feel the…
You are a Winner! As you sail on your journey towards your dream, there will be many humps, storms, roundabouts, narrow and wide roads that you will cross. You will meet people who will question and even mock your decisions; they will try to distract and pull you down. They will be showing different directions and locations they thought would be best for you but keep on dreaming, never listen or get distracted of what they will say. Sometimes even your closest friends and…
My journey to photography Year 2018, I was looking for an additional sideline online apart from my online selling and as a virtual assistant when I saw this new social media platform very different from Facebook from a youtube influencer. This app allows you to take photos using their own app and earn at the same time depending on the wows and interactions. I immediately installed the app and take photos. I have zero knowledge with photography back then, I just know the…

Trapped in the past Many times in our lives we are trapped in our past; with our feelings, our needs and wants, and sometimes we are trapped with our family and friends without even noticing it. It may seem simple at the beginning, it will pass or gone in a minute or two but in the long run we are already trapped that and can hardly move and get out.The feeling of denial is there and we cannot move forward to take the risk and trust the leap of faith because we became too…
