My goals this month We are actually nearing the half of 2022. It feels like it was just yesterday when we celebrated Christmas and New Year and here we are almost halfway there. Why do I feel like time is much faster nowadays compared to when I was still a kid? I guess I just have to accept that we are kind of likr in a time-lapse setting even if then and now, a day has 24 hours, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. It's already May. Why did I suddenly thought…

Makeup kit raid I have already shared with you my skincare routine before when I published an article about almost all the skincare products that I have tried in the past. My skincare routine is just basic facial wash, toner and cream. If I am feeling like putting some face mask, I'd skip the toner and cream and place the mask on top of my face. Simple. Less is more right? Now, let me share with you my makeup routine. I mean my makeup kit. LOL. Should I make a GRWM article?…
For beauty lovers It's past 11 in the evening and I am just starting to with my article. I wanted to continue about makeups but I was not able to take picures of it so I decided to answer the hardest *"Would you rather"* for beauty lovers of How Stuff Works. This was the other set of questions that I have mentioned before. Have I mentioned about it? Whether I did or didn't, I will answer them now. I find the questions really entertaining so I hope that you do too. I will…
Mac or Nars Now, let us continue with the second part of the hardest "would you rather" for beauty lovers. I am ok with having overly bushy eyebrows. "*Kilay* (eyebrow) is life". LOL. There was a time when me and one of our receptionists asked one of my favorite boy bands here in the Philippines if we can take a photo with them. They agreed but then I overheard the lead singer saying to his band members, "kilay is life". I am not sure if he was referring to me, the…
Pampering day How often do you get a haircut? Mine happens to be whenever I feel like getting myself one. LOL. I looked into my Gallery and saw that it was July last year when I had a haircut. I took a photo that time as I met with my friend, A. It was a spa bonding date between me, my mom, A and her mom. Now I have decided to have a haircut because I find it a little long already. And also I wanted to have my gel manicure remove. I notice last night that there was a second…
Will you vote for me? Just few days to go before the much awaited presidential election in the Philippines. Will you be voting on Monday? Whether you are here or outside of the Philippines, it is your responsibility as a Filipino registered voter to practice your right to vote. Just always keep in mind to vote wisely. Whoever your presidential bet would be, I hope that it is what your mind and heart is telling you to vote. @Sydney2 and I have been taking about our…
Mother's day 2022 This may be a little but late but firstly I want to greet all the mothers here on read.cash a very happy, happy, happy mother's day. I hope you were able to spent this day with your whole family. I salute you all mothers and also to single fathers who play the role of a mother as well. For moms-to-be, you are already a mother the moment you carry your child in your womb, so happy mother's day to you as well. If you are still single but has been able to take…
My plan Counting has officially started. I received a message from our neighbor who was my college batchmate. She updates me with the partial and unofficial presidential tally. I remember when I was a kid whenever we would watch news that it was still manual counting. Manila papers on the board and they were using permanent markers to tally each votes. I am not sure how long it takes in tallying those votes per precint then but thanks for the counting machines as it has been…
Doing something new Once in a while we would feel like we are losing interest on some things that we have been accustomed to do. That if we would force ourselves, we would only end up burning out until we would forever lose interest on something. I had a few times when I got burned out to the point of crying my heart out. I had also forced myself and I only ended up detesting what I had once enjoyed and loved. Getting burned out and depressed are obviously 2 different…
Why me? Why me? Why does it have to be me? Of all people, why me? Why did it had to be me? Why did it had to happen to me? Have you ever asked yourself some of the questions I cited above? Can you remember the last time you asked one or more of those questions? Whenever we are faced by challenges, we cannot help but to ask ourselves and even God, *"why me?"*. A question that is a little difficult to answer. Then some people will also say that they are good people and that…
My online journal I woke up this morning and saw a lot of red in the crypto market. BCH was at $191 and it even reached $165. Ouch. If only I had some money to buy and I would have bought some. And since I don't, I just have to hope and pray for it to go up and soar higher than its all time high last year. For today, I will just blog something else because the topic that I had on my mind is too depressing. It is connected with my article last night but I do not think I will…
Game day Friday Yes, you have read it right. It's Game Day Friday. Back when I was still in elementary, I love Friday because that means my brother and I can play game consoles until Sunday. Then we are going to do our homeworks by Sunday afrernoon or review our lessons if we do not have any assignments. A kid's favorite activity is to play. If you happen to read about some of my recent articles, you know that lately I have been losing interest in the things that I used to…
How I feel? How are you feeling today? Were you happy, sad or so-so? Today was again another hot day. Have you noticed that as early as 6:30AM the sun is already so bright and the weather is already hot? I have noticed that the past few mornings as I would wake up around those times thinking that it is already 8AM but as I checked on my phone it wasn't. Climate change is real. And because of that, I or should I say we have been drinking sodas everyday. I know it is very…
Steady Sunday Blessed Sunday to all of you. How was your day? I hope that you all are doing well especially you, Probinsyana. I may not know what it is but I really wish you well. If yesterday was a senti Saturday for me and today is just as how I named this article, steady Sunday. Maybe because it rained for a couple of hours this afternoon that is why I was so laid-back. Whether it rained or not, I was really planning to not do anything today except to bathe our dogs and a…
A guide to mgames This afternoon as I was replying to some comments on my noisy post about the play to earn games, I happened to ask @Pichi28 if she had already tried the games from GCash. She asked me what games I usually play and I have decided to make an article about it. If you have not yet read my article, Game day Friday, you might want to read it first so you woukd know what I will be sharing today. Mineski Global which is a Singapore based esports company launched…
Am I a gambler? Months ago I have read an article from @Murakamii.7, I bet. Judging from the title, would you know what I am about to share today? It has something to do with my recent article. Oh wait, the title is too obvious. LOL. In case you are still not getting what I am blabbering about, it is about gambling. This was actually @meitanteikudo's writing prompt and I will be including the questions that I saw from Murakamii.7 that she saw from him. I have saved the link…
It's ok When was the last time that you have told yourself that it's ok? It's ok to reward yourself. It's ok to splurge a little. It's ok to overindulge. It's ok to lose. It's ok to cry. It's ok to rest. It's ok if you really do not feel like doing something. It's ok if you do not want to talk. It's ok if you miss someone. It's ok to not be ok. Seems like a title from a popular Korean drama right? But I must say that it's totally ok. It's ok to do, feel and think about a lot…
Is this the life I wanted? This afternoon as I was sitting in our kitchen after I have paid our utilities, I cannot helped but to think about my life. I thought about how I ended up to be this person. Whether you have a successful or unsuccessful life, have you ever wondered how your life turned out to be? Can you say that you are already living the life that you wanted? I remember back in the days that I would blame other people for every misfortune that had happened to me.…
I will choose them again As I was about to sleep last night, I was able to think of a topic. So I drafted a few sentences for me not to forget when I wake up the following day. I have again missed another day of not publishing an article. But like I have said, it's ok. *Gwaenchanh-a*. We somehow pick up a few Korean words after watching a lot of Korean dramas. Speaking of which, I started watching another Korean drama after I had finished the other drama. After more than a…
Back to being a Kdrama fan There are things that we usually do before and all of a sudden we would stop doing it for some personal reasons. There are also some things that we have not done before but is doing it more now. What is it that you usually do before but you suddenly stop doing it now? And what is that thing that you have never done before and is doing it now? Few weeks ago, I shared with you that I was suddenly losing interest in life. I did not want to do…
Is social stratification important in love? I bet majority of us have fallen in love maybe once or more than once in our life. I am actually the type of person who easily falls in love with someone especially when I would see their good side and if there is a connection. But you all know that one of the characteristics of a guy that is on my list is his looks. I always fall in love with guys who are good looking that. What do you look for in a partner? Does a person's status…
Troubling Thursday After all that binge watching, I suddenly felt like I needed to recharge myself. I was suppose to start a new drama this afternoon after I have finished the other drama but I kept on delaying it. My day was still fun since I got to talk to @Firenze. As usual, we were talking about adulting stuffs since month end is nearing and it only means that we need to hustle more because we got a lot of bills to pay. Even if we have not yet met personally, I feel at…
Hello, old me Yesterday I mentioned that I was suppose to start another Korean drama but I kept on delaying not only because I thought that the one I picked was boring but also because I wanted to have a break even for a day. Ever since I started watching Korean dramas again, I felt that the old me is starting to come back. And today, I absolutely felt that. The drama that I chose was Start-Up. If you haven't watched it yet, I do have a little spoilers but more on quotes and…
Progress A few of us may have had published an article about regret and of course I was one of those few people who did. Most of you know that I started watching a Korean drama, Start-Up, and it tackles mostly everything about life. From lies, betrayal, choices, struggles, failures, regrets for them to achieve their dreams. I still have not yet finished watching it as I had a lot of pauses in between since I let my dogs pee every hour and I also play mgames. Another quote…
A day to remember How often do you publish your articles? When I started here on read.cash almost a year and a half ago, I was always publishing everyday except when I had migraine attacks as it was unbearable for me to look at the screen even if the level of it's brightness was already low. My topics were mostly about my life and the challenges that I have had. Being able to express my feeling, thoughts and opinions in writing had helped me feel good about myself. This has…
