The recent year, 2020, has brought us fear. The pandemic paused us to the lives we used to live. Yet, we still wanted to welcome the New Year with hope and positivity. We received the year 2021, hoping that it will be a better year for all of us. Now, this is the end of the first month of 2021. In this article, I want to share with everyone everything that happened in this very first month. The places I went to, things I did, and even those I bought for myself.

This month, January, has been a rocky road but full of adventures. If you are still reading until here, this only means that you are interested. Keep reading, and I'll share with you everything.

First Hike of the Year

Yes, you have read it right. I had my first hike of the year this month. I can still recall that it happened on the 2nd of January. I was with my boyfriend, Darren, and my friend. By the way, my friend was with her boyfriend too. I won't show their faces, but they are with us. We planned this hike last year, December. It was my friend's idea.

Watching Sunrise with Darren

Another memorable moment happened this month. I wanted to have some coffee and watch the sunrise before, but I didn't get the chance since my past boyfriends are not as adventurous as this one. I already told him that watching the sun rising in a mountain with coffee is one of the things I wanted to do. Then, it happened, and it was unplanned. We just went for a jog, and then he told me "Tara, coffee tayo sa bundok". We climbed the mountain, and I remember we used a flashlight because it's still dark. We waited for the sun to rise while having some coffee and talking about some stuff we have not talked about through messages and calls.

Visited the Beach for the First Time Since the Lockdown

Yes, I just got to visit the beach this month for the first time since lockdown. Even though I am from San Antonio, Zambales, which has beautiful beaches, I still didn't get the chance to visit them. I am with my boyfriend again, and this time we have a companion from my Senior High School friend, Mayden. We went to the beach and had some beer while watching the sunset. I won't show my friend's face for her privacy, but we took some photos too.

Breakfast in Yenye Bridge

I always wanted to visit this bridge. And again, my boyfriend made sure to take me here. It was a literal rocky road, though, but the view and the ambiance are worth it. I brought some Nissin Ramen Instant Noodles and coffee. It was a fun experience, but we didn't have cool shots since we are so enchanted with the view.

Went to the Beach Part 2

We already have a part two. But this time, with a different companion. It was early in the morning when we decided to go to the beach. We just took some photos of the view, and us, of course. After that, we went for a quick swim. We just spent maybe an hour or two at the beach.

The Highlight: Discovered the Beauty of Angeles Falls

Yay! It is one of my favorite adventures this month, even though the experience is quite a little bad. It was a 2-hour trek, but the view is jaw-dropping. The water is crystal clear, and the view from the top is impressive too. I am with Darren, one of my closest friends and her sibling, and some acquaintances. We had so much fun and enjoyed the moment.

What's more?

Working with Ate @bmjc98

Yes, I work with ate @bmjc98 , and I thank her for giving me this opportunity of having extra income per week. I am learning a lot from this, like knowing how freelancing and online job works. I hope you don't get tired of working with me.

Invited my Close Friends in Readcash and Noisecash

Finally, I invited two of my close friends here and in noisecash. If you are curious about their usernames, here they are: @illustrious and @chikorita . Check them out. But, they have not yet published any article for now. They are still finishing some school activities, but we can all look forward to their articles soon. They have the same usernames in noisecash, and you can check them out there too.

Got my iPhone Fixed

I am so happy with this. I mean, I have been planning before to have it fixed, but my budget always says no. I am so glad that because of readcash, I got it fixed. I now have an extra phone for more earning sites.

Bought a Gcash Mastercard

Before, I never thought of buying or purchasing a Gcash Mastercard, but everything changed when some of the payments to me were sent through gcash.

That is all for now.

How about you? You may share your first month of the year too. We will gladly read that, and if ever you read this article and got inspired of sharing your this month's activities, you can mention me so I could read it too. Have a nice day!

Hello, Ate @bbyblacksheep . I think I should mention you here, thinking maybe I could inspire you again of writing an article about your activities this whole month. 😁 You can try share it again with us. 🤗
