Productive weekend It is a Sunday and it is the start of a new month, August. Happy birthday and advance happy birthday to all August babies. I hope that this month I will be more productive than I was last month. How was your July? If I were to summarize my July, I would say that it was ok because I did good or better than how I was in June in terms of productivity. But in terms of savings, sad to say that my July was zero. I do try to put in little amounts to my bank…

The Foodist Diary: Tofu Sisig ala Max's Restaurant Yesterday I have said that I do not know if my day will be productive today as how it was the past couple of days but thankfully I am proud to say that I did some tasks after we had lunch. Did some unplanned trips to the bank, bathe our dogs when I got back, showered after and then I made tuna spread and tofu sisig ala Max's restaurant. Perhaps all of us are familiar with tofu. I happened to appreciate tofu when I started my…
Worries Hey there, beautiful soul. What are you worried about? Each of us worry even up to the slightest little thing or issue in our lives. Where does our worries brought us? As a person who likes to think about whatever possible result my actions would lead me to, I can say that I worry about almost everything. Probably I got it from my mom however, she worries a lot more than me to the point that I feel like she is so paranoid or she is too over reacting to such things.…
Labelling I just read that this week's writing prompt by @JonicaBradley is about labels. I had fun reading her article and her husband is really funny who kept insisting about the square because he labelled all shapes as sqaures. But when I was reading it, the label that instantly run through my mind was about relationships. I am not sure if there will be some people who can relate with it but it has something to do about "*defining the relationship*". If you have been an…
Commitments Commitments, commitments, commitments. No, this is not a continuation of my labelling article. As much as I wanted to be committed to him before, I cannot. Let's move on from that. The commitments that I am going to talk about are the things that you commit to do something or give to someone. Couple of nights ago my brother video called me and my mom. I think it was mother's day when they last visited us and it was probably 2 weeks ago when he video called us.…
Rules The other night when I was drafting my commitments article, I know in myself that I would not be able to publish it on time. But I was asking myself if I should continue drafting it or break my one article per day. I cannot remember the last time that I have missed a day of publishing an article but I think it was probably when my phone died on me. I think I was MIA for a week and if I remember it correctly I know I mentioned before that I have only missed 9 days of no…
Another senti Sunday According to Philipp Reiter, **"A positive mindset brings positive things"**. I have long wanted to write an article about positive mindset that the listed topic that I wrote on my Notes app was proper mindset. That when I read @Sequoia's article on law of attraction, I was more eager to talk about it but I just cannot as if something was stopping me. Yesterday @Firenze told me and @bbghitte about something that she have recently watched and it was…

How I help save Mother Earth (part 1) What do you think of when you hear the words pollution, climate change, flood, wildfires and global warming? When I was a kid, I remember there was a Filipino TV program show for kids that teaches its viewers on how we can recycle some things. I even did one but it did not look the way how it was on TV. LOL. Growing up, I was already aware that I should do my part to take care of our environment. In school we were also taught about the…
How I help save Mother Earth (part 2) On my first part of my article, I have mentioned about the candy wrappers that I kept in my pocket when there were no trash bins nearby. I also mentioned about segregation of trashes and reusable bags. Those were some of the ways that I show my help in saving our planet but that is not all as still have a few more. **Reusable straws and tumblers**. I have bought some bamboo straws years ago and I always have one in my bag. But now that…
Friday the 13th It's Friday the 13th. Do you have any stories about this day when you were growing up? Honestly, I really do not know the reason behind the so called "Friday the 13th" but back when I was in grade school, my classmates would tell a lot of things that we were not suppose to do. One of them was to not step on any cracks. I do not know why or how they knew about it but of course each of us would not step on the crack. But we forgot about that when we were…
How I spend my BCH To start off, the lead image is just a screenshot of the current price of the BCH before I publish this article. A few days and weeks ago I have read articles from different users on how they used their earnings here on read.cash. You probably have read some articles about it as well. I have been on this platform for 8 months and I am proud to say that I have used my earnings for my debts. I was also able to HODL some BCH when I started but unfortunately I…
Happy birthday, Mom Finally! After being stressed on what cake to give to my mom, I was able to make up my mind. I have shared before that one of my mom's favorite cake is Crema de Fruta from Goldilocks. Next to that is Conti's Mango Bravo. But before I have decided on the cake, I had missed my chance of the Php360 (almost $8) off discount from Grab yesterday. I was suppose to buy from one restaurant that we have eaten days before the pandemic started last year but I guess…
Missed days It is not everyday that I have a lot of things to do in a day. That is why I was really happy that since this week had started, I was really busy. I am not saying that I was unproductive the past few days. LOL. During the start of this month, I made sure that my August will be filled with a lot of tasks and the number 1 that was on my list was to read the articles that I have missed. I have mentioned before that I am the OC type of person so whenever I would read…

Who's going to take care of who? Last week when my parents, our helper and I were watching a segment on a noon time show, there was one question that had stuck on my mind. The question was something about children taking care of their parents when they are already old. Is it really the responsibility of the children to take care of them? What is your opinion on this? For me, I really do believe that it is the responsibility of the children to take care of their parents when…

Introduction to my skincare product review **DISCLAIMER**: This product is not sponsored (I love saying that line as if I am also a vlogger. LOL). We all have different skin types and what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. First and foremost, I just want to thank all of you especially these people right here: What do you look for when choosing a skincare product? Do you get influenced by other people especially some Youtube influencers? Last July 23 when I…
Product review: Celeteque Have you read my introduction to my skincare product review? I did not do any patch testing and I used the Celeteque products right away. So now let's go over my honest review for each product. https://read.cash/@bbyblacksheep/introduction-to-my-skincare-product-review-8e752ec2 **DISCLAIMER**: again this product is not sponsored. LOL. We all have different skin types and we have different reaction to a particular product. The results of this…
Influential influencers From the title itself, you probably have an idea on what I am about to talk about. This has been inspired by my previous articles, introduction to my skincare product review and the product review itself. When I bought the Celeteque products, I was not influenced by anyone not even a commercial advertisement. It just so happens that I saw it on promo that made me buy it. But how influential are the influencers and product endorsers nowadays?…
Last weekend of August 2021 This is just a rundown of how my weekend was. I wanted to draft an article last night but the left side of my head has been continuously knocking me since 2PM. I know I slept late Friday night because my brother was still up messaging me on what food we are going to order. Since he was going to pay, I needed to do the research for him. LOL. We ended up ordering from a Chinese restaurant. I was not aware that they have suckling pig and a whole size…
Heroic heroes When my dad and I went out this morning to withdraw some money, I found out that it was a holiday. Ever since that I have been unemployed, I was not aware of the holidays except of course if it is Christmas or new year. Sometimes I even do not know what date it is. So I asked my dad why the banks were closed and what is with this day. He said that today is the National Heroes Day. In the Philippines, we celebrate National Heroes Day in remembering our past…
Agosto: Buwan ng Wika Noong mga nakaraang linggo ay meron akong mga nababasang mga artikulo na sulat gamit ang ating sariling wika, Filipino. Taon-taon ay ginugunita ang buwan ng wikang pambansa tuwing Agosto. At dahil ngayon ang huling araw sa buwan ng Agosto, naisipan ko na ang aking artikulo ay nakasaad sa wikang Filipino. Naalala ko nung bumisita ang aking kapatid kasama ang kanyang asawa at anak noong isang araw ay nabubulol ang aking inaanak sa pagbigkas ng salitang…
