Invention (part 2) On the first part of my article I have talked about the reasons why I wanted to have price scanners on our shopping carts. For this part would be the other function of the shopping cart that I wanted. With regards to the total sum of all the items in our cart, isn't it great if we can actually know the prices of all the items that we got? Well for me I still write the prices in my market list and I even have an estimated price right beside the item. It is…
@bbyblacksheep in June 2021
Rain After months of extreme heat, we have already experienced light rain here in the Philippines for hours. Although Mr. Sun tried to peek in a few times but I was happy when it will still continue to rain. Back in the days, June was considered to be the rainy season here. But because of climate change, I have felt that rain starts later than the usual. Have you also notice the changes in our weather? From hot to hottest and coldest to cold? As far as I know, currently…
6 months on read.cash Happy 6th monthsary to me! It feels like it was just yesterday that I joined read.cash. When I looked back on all the articles and short posts that I have published, I cannot help but to be proud of myself because I have made it this far. To date, I already have published 173 articles (making this 174) and 3 short posts. I joined read.cash on December 03, 2020 but I was not able to publish an article right away. It was either the next day or 2 days…
Thank you @JLoberiza for the sponsorship.
Motivatingly motivated The other night I was tagged by @Bjorn to share something about motivation. It was actually @JonicaBradley's Writing Prompt #2: Motivation challenge. The first words that came into my mind after I found out that the topic was motivation were "what drives you?". It was what was running through my mind that night although I have to postpone drafting an article since I prioritized my previous article, 6 months in read.cash because yesterday was exactly my…
Quitter Was there ever a time that you feel like quitting? Or was there ever a time that you quit on something? May it be school, work, friendship, relationship, habits or even vices. I thought of drafting an article after I have read @Firenze's Get Back on Track article. The words **QUIT** and **QUITTER** has somehow stuck on my mind that even if I read her entire article, I could not comprehend everything that was written. I had to re-read it today to understand everything…
Failure Failure, failure, failure. I do not think there is someone who does not fail. Maybe they have not fail yet but there will come a time that they will too because failure is inevitable. You are probably thinking about Thanos when he said that he was inevitable. Though seriously speaking, failing has been a part of our lives. When you hear about the word fail, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I have somehow connected my previous articles to this one.…
Success In my previous article, failure, I did not elaborate more as to why I feel like I was a failure but being a quitter was partly one of the reasons. I may have quit my jobs but I continued to be in my chosen path. Though there are some people who changed paths but became even more successful. What is success? How do you define success? According to Oxford Languages, **success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose**. I know for sure that we all have different…
No internet, no problem When I read @Bloghound's Off-Grid Freedom, I instantly remembered the time when I first experienced being in a slightly off grid location. Again another first time for me. What are your experiences of doing things for the first time? I have shared some of my first time experiences here already like the time that I had my first job, my first domestic and international trip even my first heartbreak. Isn't it exciting to do a thing for the first time…
Best friend I opened my Facebook to check out what memory I have for today. Actually when my brain is not in the mood to think about a particular topic to share, I check either my gallery of photos or my memories on Facebook. However I do not have much photos on my phone right now which I can talk about so I am left with the latter option. When I opened my Facebook, I instantly saw a short clip from my brother's wedding from 8 years ago where my girl friends and I were…
Similar to you @JonicaBradley's Writing Prompt #3 is about similarities. I was actually tagged by @Viktor105 on his article. While I was reading @Bjorn's Everything is Relative article, I instantly thought of the American drama series, The Vampire Diaries. He uploaded photos of the present celebrities who have slightly (or almost) similar facial features from the people in the past. If you have watched The Vampire Diaries, you would know why I thought of that. For others who…
Girl in the mirror Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? Ok, you can continue singing that song or read my article or both. The choice is yours but I hope by now you probably have an idea what I am going to talk about. I think this can somehow be related to JonicaBradley's Writing Prompt #3: Similarities. Whenever you look at the mirror, what do you see? Do you see yourself or do you see someone else? Seems like a creepy question but if you will think…
Reflection This day is very memorable and important for us Filipinos as this was the day that we have been freed from the Spanish rule. Happy Independence Day my fellow Filipinos. This day I was feeling a bit under the weather. Maybe because I stayed up late last night or I woke up on the wrong side of the bed or probably because today is a special day. I am missing him again. LOL. I know I have already published not just 1 but a 3 part Missing you article here (part 1, 2…
Fear Each of us has their own fears. Fears that we have yet to overcome but still could not. As defined in *Oxford Languanges*, **fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.** I do not need to ask whether you have fears or not because most certainly you have. Probably an event in the past that you have been traumatized for, heights, needles, deep water, death or even an insect that you really…
Basketball NBA Playoffs have started 3 weeks ago. Who is your favorite NBA team? I was just so sad when Golden State Warriors did not make it. The past few weeks I usually sleep late because of the games because my dad wants to watch them live. He does not know how to program it from NBA app to TV so I would have to do it. We all know that if it is live then there's a time difference between USA and Philippines as we are ahead of 12 hours or less depending on which state.…
Darkest past This is in response to @JonicaBradley's Writing Prompt #4 Darkness The word darkness has been my used word when I was healing my broken heart years ago. I do not know whether we have the same definition or feeling of darkness but back in my younger days I used to be in the dark. Not the kind of dark after you have switched of the light but rather emotionally, mentally and spiritually dark. I did not have any traumatizing incident while growing up but I have…
Regrets **"Everything happens for a reason."** It was one of my favorite saying when I started working. Even before I was consumed by the darkness I have already made a lot of wrong decisions in life which lead me to regret some of it. After I have made it through my darkest past and was able to see the light I realized that everything happens for a reason. Most of us have experienced being regretful over something. However at some point in our lives, we chose to do a thing…
Life's purpose With all my wrong decisions, failures, fears and regrets in life, I cannot help but to question myself about my true purpose. A few days ago I mentioned to @Firenze on my Quitter article that up to this day I do not know what my purpose in life is. She told me that eventually I will be able to find out about my purpose and that I need to rely on God that He will soon direct me to the plans that He has made for me. But have you also experienced asking yourself…
What I wish I knew? For today I decided to talk about the things that I wish I knew when I was in my younger days. From my wrong decisions in life, to being a failure and a quitter, to having regrets and to falling in love, there were a lot of lessons that I have learned after it all happened. Now I realized that I would also like a time machine to be invented just like what @Ruffa and @Bjorn had also wished for in my invention article. However I told them that if there was…
Not my typical evening This evening just before dinner I happened to see the Youtube video of Toni Gonzaga, a Filipino singer, host and actress on her interview with the Philippines Secretary of Department of Transportation. I do not know when the video was uploaded as I just saw it on my ClipClaps app. The video was definitely suited for tomorrow's special day to all our dads, daddy, papa, appa, padre, pa, pappy, pop, poppy, popi, tatay, itay and whatever we call the pillar…
A father's love Of course if there was a mother's love, there should also be a father's love. But first and foremost I want to greet everyone here and your dad a happy father's day. How did you celebrate father's day? I don't really know the details but my brother's family was not able to come but we had video call this afternoon. https://read.cash/@bbyblacksheep/a-mothers-love-ea81c074 With the Youtube video that I have mentioned yesterday on my previous article, Not my…
Pretty little liar Pretty little liar. Seems like a title from a drama series right? Lies, lies, lies. What is considered a good lie and a bad lie? Is it really ok to tell a white lie? Growing up we were taught not to tell a lie as it is also written in the ten commandments, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor". If my memory serves me right, I think it is the 8th commandment. The first 2 commandments that I have memorized was the 5th and the 6th…
Pride month I was browsing my Instagram account this afternoon and I saw some photos of people with the caption PRIDE in rainbow colors. Then as of drafting this I am watching The Panti Sisters, a Filipino movie about the 3 sons of a strict father who happens to turn out to be all gay. I have already watched it before in the movie house with my mom. It is really a great movie and all the actors are fabulous. Gay pride or LGBT pride is a very sensitive topic just like how it…
Questionable questions Who? Why? What? When? Where? How? From whom or to whom? Those are just some of the used words that we often use when we start to ask a question. You can also include have or haven't you and did or didn't you. If I were to ask you when was the last time you asked a question, what would be your answer? To whom did you ask the question? What was your question? When, why and how did you ask him or her? Before I started drafting this, I asked myself what…
Thank you @Bloghound for the sponsorship.
Truth I was drafting a different article that I find it hard to expand a little further probably because I do not feel the topic that it makes me hard to think of the words to say. Ironically the movie that I am watching talked about the article that I was suppose to draft. I just hope I can finish it tomorrow. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" Seems like a line from a court room right? I got the idea of this topic from my previous articles,…
That time of the year Last night while I was drafting my article, I felt a sudden pain in my head. Yes, migraine was knocking. I tried my best to still continue with my article. I do not know why there was a sudden attack. There was no more sun and my room lights were not that bright. I was so nauseous and then I realized that last night was the time that I was brought to the hospital last year. I checked my Instagram to check but I posted days after. I verified it by…
Dream Dreams are something that we think about or something that we create in our mind. We can dream while we are asleep and when we are awake. We all have dreams and up to this day we still dream. There are dreams that we forget, dreams that are changing and dreams that we remember until we can finally reach them. Of course there are also dreams that remain to be a dream because it can be embarassing or you find it hard to achieve it. Every individual has something that…
The Foodist Diary: Jollibee Ever since I have started writing here I have only published 4 articles from my Youtube channel. The very first one was the recipe of budae jjigae (Korean army stew). I believe it was the second article that I have published here. Then after a week, I published an article about my Youtube channel. I cannot remember what I have written there but I believe that I told stories about why or how I decided to make a channel. Even if you haven't read it…
Cheater "**Once a cheater, always a cheater"**. I have always wanted to write an article about cheating but I do not know how I will start talking about it. Yesterday when I was browsing my ClipClaps, I stumbled on 1 video of a PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) player who cheated on his long time girlfriend. Oh wait, they were actually engaged. So I Googled the news about him and even checked his Instagram and his ex fiance's account. I was ready to write about…
Forgiveness How do you forgive a person who has wronged you? In my previous article, cheater, I have asked a question if we are to give a second chance to a person who cheated on us. For @QueenRay, she said that it is very hard to give a cheater a second chance. While with @Ellehcim, she does not recommend giving them a second chance. I on the other hand find it difficult to answer my question. However I can forgive a person but it is hard for me to forget. Though it…
Good job! My 210th day here on read.cash and I have already published 200 articles making this 201. Yahoo! Good job, Jonna! I admit that it was not easy for me to think of topics everyday. I even published an article before entitled topics. I mentioned there that when I was on Kiki, a photo blogging platform, my topics were mostly about food and the restaurants that my family or friends have tried or the places that we have been to. When I joined read.cash, I know it would…
