July 1, 2021 Thursday
Thank God for a new month. It's the month of July. Someone said that July is normally a better month. And I believe it. I like the month of July because it is a month before my birth month. Also, this month is one of my brothers birth month and on the day of his birthday, we will basically be on the same age. So we always joke each other, "Hey, I'm no longer the eldest because we have the same age.! " Hahaha. Yeah. That's a simple joke that we always do every July of every year. Isn't it nice to have something that you and your sibling have in common and you make fun of it? Thus, July for me will always be a good month.
Let's complicate July a little bit. July is the seventh month of the year. July has 31 days, 744 hours, 44,649 minutes, and 2,678,400 seconds! Here I am again making July complicated. Well, we are now on the second half of the year, or start of the third quarter of the year. Whichever you prefer to call it, it's just the same. Interestingly, July seems to be the month dedicated to freedom, independence (4th of July in the US) and celebrations of country and culture based from almanac.com.
I believe this is true. July is the month of freedom for me. If you haven't read my previous article about June, you can read it on the link below.
The month of June was full of hardship. It feels like I was imprisoned due to this home quarantine we experienced. So this month of July could mean independence to me since I can already go out. Though, at the moment, I chose not to go out yet because I still have a little cough. So for my safety, and the safety of other people too, I will just stay at home but I can already go out and tend to my plants.

Are you a July baby? If you are, then read below.
A July baby means, you are born in the month of July. According to parenting.firstcry.com, there are 9 interesting facts about July-born babies.
Here are the list of things you can expect in July-borns:
1. They are optimistic.
An optimistic person thinks the best possible thing will happen and hopes for it even if it's not likely. Whoah! Now that is a very good trait isn't it? Just being optimistic make everything less harder because they are more focus of the brighter side.
2. They can be very charming.
Charming persons are friendly people and it is very easy to like their personality. Perhaps, most Prince Charmings are born in July, don't you think so?
3. They are very generous.
I know a person here on read.cash who is very generous. I wonder if she was born in July? Are you @Jeaneth? Or perhaps, @MarcDeMesel are you born in July?
4. They can be very emotional.
Oh this is true. My brother who is living in Cebu now is very emotional. We will just see him post something cryptic on Facebook. And when we ask him why, he won't share it.
5. They are very focused.
My brother is a hardworking person. He's a graphic artist and his attention to details is just superb. He tends to be very focused on something and he normally apply it when playing computer or cellphone games.
6.They cherish their loved ones.
This is so true. My Mama Beth ( my aunt who was may mom's sister who became our mom when may mama died) cherishes her loved ones so much. She always cares for us even until now that we are older.
7. They tend to have a good self control.
I'm not sure about this though. I don't think my brother has this neither my aunt. Hahaha
8. They tend to have a strong work ethic.
My aunt has been working in Hong Kong as domestic helper for more than 30 years and I didn't hear any complain from her. She works very hard and her employers love her so much.
9. They are more likely to be left-handed.
This is not true with my brother and aunt. They are both right-handed. I don't think this has something to do with being born in July. Hmmm. I totally disagree on this one.
Of those 9 traits, how many do you have if you are a July baby?

Back to Goals
I honestly don't have any goals for this month as what I'm really looking forward is the month of November. But this month could be a stepping stone for me to meet my goal in November. I don't want to put high expectations on myself as I'm not the kind of person who works well under pressure. I often want a relax environment honestly. So, for this month, I'm going to set my goal as follows:
Save from my Salary atleast 500 pesos or $10 per cut off.
Lower down my credit card expenses to $60 or 3000 pesos (by the way, this includes grocery shopping at home).
Will limit my FoodPanda delivery to 3 times a week. (I hope I can do it!)
Will have longer hours of sleep during rest days(at least 7-9 hrs on Saturday and Sunday)
$60 earnings at noise.cash ( not sure if I can attain this one!)
Atleast 2 articles per week on read.cash (oh, wish me luck on this)
That was quite a goal isn't it? Hahaha. Let's hope I can attain it and will do an update by the 31st of July perhaps!?
Above all, remember this message. July is also a reminder of how Jesus loves you.
JULY

To God be the glory!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hope you are okay now. And you will achieve all your goals for this month at sa mga susunod pa. Medyo hindi ako relate masyado. October me e. Haha.
