Hello beautiful people! The weather looks bright today but I'm not convinced it would remain fine in the afternoon later. I'm being alert to get my hung clothes outside. ๐ Took this photo beside my cousinsโ house, just appreciating the blue sky with Mr. sun peeking. ๐

Sometimes it's really hard to think about what dish to serve the family. I'm just glad there is a barbeque vendor nearby. We call it chicken โinasalโ and my husband added 2 pork barbeques (they're covered by the chicken) ๐ Here's our viand for dinner later. ๐ What about you what you have there on your table today/tonight?
It rained last afternoon and I wasn't expecting to see a colorful hue in the sky. However, to my surprise, an orange-tinted shade was settling in the sky at dusk before the darkness fully invades. It's been a while since I last saw a sunset, and I'm so happy to see even just a little picture today. Looks like the sky was on fire from afar. ๐๐ฅ
I was in first-year college when we went to Bacolod and visited this well-known tourist spot, The Ruins. The place was enchanting and everyone was amazed at how the mansion was preserved. My shot wasn't that clear because I'm not using a high-end phone before. But I'm happy I saved some photos and here's one of them. ๐ Have a blissful Saturday. ๐
It's a very tiring day for me today. ๐ I just finished some of my morning chores and I'm currently resting, so I have a chance to hold my phone and greet you a pleasant Sunday! โบ๏ธ Last night I rest early because I was attacked by stomach acid. Now, I just recognize how bad the lifestyle I had before when I was young. I hope it's not too late to change it. By the way, I'm just sharing how clear and lovely the weather we're having here today. ๐ Take care, noisy friends!
My orders from Shein came today and I am so satisfied with my items. One of my purchases is these anti-blue lights glasses and finally, it's legit. ๐ I read all the reviews and it's rated 5 stars. It comes with a leather glasses case and a wipe cloth. ๐
I was about to write when my cousin chatted to me about her ex sending her messages. Of course, we chitchat and now, I almost forgot I opened my MS word. ๐ I haven't written anything yet, and I don't know what topic to write about now. ๐ *Geez... Good evening.
I successfully wrote tonight and I will just publish it tomorrow. I was tired of looking for old photos to attach to the article I composed. ๐ Maybe to give you a little hint, here's one of the photos I found. This shot was taken in Ayala Center Cebu when we had our school trip. ๐ We stopped by for a short time to take some photos before we went to our next destination. ๐ That was around 6 to 7 years ago. Oh, how I miss visiting Cebu! Hope I could travel again there someday.โฆ
It's raining so heavy early this morning, probably the rain last night was nonstop until this very moment. I was expecting fine weather just like on the other days we had but I was wrong. Now we're putting on our jackets because of the cold ambiance. This knitted jacket I'm using is very special to me because it was given to me by a very special person in my life too, my grandma. But now she's in heaven for almost 5 years, but still, I will forever cherish our memoriesโฆ
Since it's raining nonstop outside we're stuck at home, I was able to read some content on the internet then thoughts started to flow in my head. I am now torn between finishing my draft last night or should I start writing what I have in my head currently. ๐ Let me think about it while sipping some orange drink. ๐ Does it happen to you too?
One of the things that are giving me butterflies โkiligโ are my orders to be received. ๐ Since Christmas is coming it's convenient for me to buy Christmas decors on Shopee. I order 1 dozen of poinsettia flowers and 24pcs 5cm Christmas balls. I'm also waiting for some Christmas ribbons from a different shop. I'm excited to decorate our Christmas tree soon. ๐๐
Last night I failed to publish my draft and I wasn't online here too, I was worried and busy reading news updates about the nonstop rain because of the typhoon. I read a news article that a water Dam in a nearby town opened its nine gates last night because of the high water level. Our town has a river and I was uneasy about the water level rising because a flood might happen. But thank God, the rain becomes lighter and today we're only experiencing light rain showers. I wasโฆ
The rain is pouring heavily again today, we're still under storm signal because of the typhoon. It's very dark here because of the heavy downpour. ๐ถ I'm so sorry guys if I can't reply to your comments consistently, I'm saving my phoneโs battery life in case of emergency and we just gained our electricity a few minutes ago. How's the weather in your place today?
โMy College Tour Experienceโ ***In each phase of life we had been, I guess, we all have our โfavoritesโ among those from our younger years, to pre-teens, teenage years until we get into semi-adults.*** Most people say high school life is the happiest part of school life, but for me, college years also gave me the best experiences I considered one of a kind. I was a hospitality student as I chose to be in that industry. Though my course was not my intended or planned courseโฆ
I just finished publishing my article for today, I was honestly done writing at eleven pm, edited it for one hour, and scanned in a plagiarism checker for authenticity. ๐ Of course, just another life experience and personal blog. ๐ https://read.cash/@eommaZel/my-college-tour-experience-9b052fc5
Is this a good sign for good weather? Good morning beautiful people! I got a feeling that today's gonna be a good day. ๐ See, the blue sky is peeking! I hope thereโll be no more rain this Wednesday. Our land has been cold and wet for days now it's time for some sunshine. ๐
We indeed have nice weather today, no rain only a clear blue sky. Our dog, Beauty, enjoyed the sun after how many days of rain too, see she grabbed the chance to do sunbathing. ๐ I took this photo before lunchtime and currently I'm waiting for the sun to set. Hoping to see the sunset or another lovely view in the sky later. ๐
I came home from school today, every day the daycare center provides feeding for the children. They cook different healthy meals a day just to ensure their pupils will grow active and strong. And this Thursday, they cooked pork with alugbati or Malabar spinach according to Mr. Google. ๐ I don't know what to call this dish but I know it's healthy. ๐ ๐
It's slightly gloomy today and I saw a bunch of blue ternate flowers clinging, let's take a photo of them before my uncle picks them up. ๐ They've been making a tea out of Blue alternate flowers, it's good for the oldies here, who are suffering from high blood pressure. Gladly, this vine didn't fail to bloom flowers every week, they have an abundant supply of their tea. ๐
Christmas is in the air. ๐ My parcel was delivered today and I badly waited for it to arrived. We're just excited to see the Christmas decors I ordered online. Gladly they're damage-free and complete. I know it's not yet Christmas but we already decorated our cute Christmas tree. This made me busy today. ๐
When there's someone who understands. *What could be the best feeling you'll consider having?* When someone compliments you or gave you something special, or someone who shows you they care, all are indeed best to be felt and could be one of the best feelings ever, but for me, one of the best feelings I love to have is when there's someone who understands.

โIn life, we humans may face different challenges, we are all fighting our โownโ battles in life, but in reality, not everyone could see it. Not everyone could see what kind of battlefield you are in, so as a result, they will judge, compare, and criticize you for your actions and choices.

At this time of the day, I am here enjoying this hopeful music in my ears. This song was our graduation song during high school, and to tell you honestly, while I was singing this song during our ceremony, I was full of dreams and hope for the future. My heart was full of desire with mixed fear and excitement. And until today, every time I hear this song on my playlist, the same old feeling is felt in my heart. I am still hopeful, full of dreams, I know the end is not yetโฆ
It's a rainy morning from here (Iloilo). Another weather disturbance is causing bad weather in our locality. Maybe you might not notice but I wasn't active yesterday, I was just excited with the 10.10 sale, lol! But to tell you, I ordered last midnight and paid less than 20 pesos to free. That's what I call Budol. ๐ I'm now taking my coffee while looking for more free items on Shopee, but most were sold out. ๐งก Good morning!
It's almost 1 am here but I'm wide awake. I slept at 7 pm a while ago and woke up at 10 pm. I felt dizzy so I decided to sleep first and just woke up in the middle of the night, but I guess, I was energized well with that quick doze. ๐ So, how are you guys? I'm too sluggish these days and was drained with nonstop work and stress at home, but I'm glad I somehow managed to keep my sanity. ๐ Sharing with you a photo I took on The Taoist Temple in Cebu, I also uploaded thisโฆ
Nice weather means a busy day. I went outside for some errand in a barangay nearby and I saw the sky was so clear. I thought to take a shot and share it here. ๐ Every time I take photos, posting in noise.cash is the first thing that comes up in my head. Have a blessed and happy Monday everyone. ๐
Lately, I noticed that I can't stand staying up โtooโ late in the night. If today, I stay up until midnight the next day I can not stay awake that late again. Should I consider taking vitamins? That's why I can't make noise recently, I have had bad headaches whenever I have a lack of sleep.
After a minute of short walks, it's time to take my daily dose of coffee. The weather's cold here as it rained a while ago for few minutes. Now, the sun is shining and I'm torn if I will do the laundry later or not. ๐ The weather's very tricky these days. ๐ถ
Yesterday I was shocked when my mom handed me a bed comforter, I thought she gave it to me as a gift but I was stunned even more when she asked me to get it as โutangโ or loan from the โBombayโ payable for two months. ๐ I refused her offer because for me it's not in my priorities to get things that aren't essential especially as loans. Also, I am just a stay-at-home mother without a career, maybe she knows that I somehow earn money because I am selling E-load. But then, I'mโฆ
My Shopee 10.10 โBudolโ Finds Mostly if we heard the words โ***shopping***โ we might worry about losing money. And we thought, shopping especially online is costly. Of course, we always consider the shipping fee! As for me, I was not into online shopping, I hate to spend money because I heard that online shopping could be addictive. Even in physical stores, I am not fond of it. I hate to look around because I might ruin my budget again. However, since the pandemic occurred,โฆ
To my Filipino friends who are wondering how could I get free and over discounted items on Shopee, I made an article for you to enjoy. ๐ You'll read there the things I did just to get the free items in my cart. ๐ Just click the link and ready to Budol, lol. ๐โ๐ป https://read.cash/@eommaZel/shopee-1010-budol-finds-73e6e4c1
I can't sleep yet, it's currently raining heavily. And when it rains, it bothers me since there's a river located in our town though we're not prone to flooding it's still bothersome. It's been raining hard since last week and we only got a few days of sun. Praying for everyone's safety in this kind of weather, hope you are all safe and warm tonight.
It's very gloomy today but I still hung my clothes outside, it's a bit windy too so I'm hoping they would dry up. How's the weather in your place, is it calmer than yesterday?
Since classes started last month, I'll be busier than ever again. Aside from the modules, I need to teach my little boy at home, the school paper works began too. By the way, I am not a teacher, it's just my father who's a high school teacher made me his โSecretaryโ. ๐ Since he's too slow to cope up especially when it comes to technology, he decided to make me his assistant. Everything that needs computer works, such as encoding and sending or submitting files to DepEd is myโฆ
One of my favorites as a kid is now one of the favorites of my kids. ๐ Who remembers โWhy Nutโ? I love to eat this until today, so the time I saw a grocery store selling it, I grabbed one pack. ๐ But of course, we only consume this as dessert to avoid too much sugar intake. ๐
I made a video presentation of my cousin who's currently in his third year in college. He asked me to edit his video because he doesn't know how to do it. ๐ I feel like I am a student too, facing test papers, modules, and even editing video presentations. But then, I am happy I could help them with my simple ways. ๐
I wonder how most of the teens (not all) are very lazy these days. They can't even hold a broom to sweep the floor. They aren't concerned about the cleanliness of their own home. That's how I observed some of the teenagers here in our neighborhood. And even my sibling who's 17 years old can't even flush her own mess in the comfort room? (Not once but several times) Like, seriously? Are they still human, do they treat themselves as VIPs? I don't know how to confront her sinceโฆ
I miss walking on this street. I found serenity whenever I go here. Today, the weather is gloomy but there's no rain, so I grabbed the chance to walk even for a short while. Sometimes it's better to take a few steps away from home to enjoy peace. I've been wanting peace of mind and walking is one of my ways to get it. This Thursday, I'm being considerate with myself, that's why I'm not forcing myself to overwork with tons of paper works this day, though I finished some thisโฆ
I'm done with the test papers, I could chill for a bit now. I'll just work with the other papers tomorrow.๐ How's your Friday going? It's still gloomy here so I'll just stay inside the house today, rain showers were pouring suddenly too.
After so long, for how many months, I just change my avatar. Flexing my #Club1BCH photo. ๐ This is now my favorite avatar. โบ Though I am used to my old picture, it's just the cartoonized version with the club's logo background, and I'm loving it! I will use this in all my channels; I already changed my Twitter and noise.cash's profile pictures. ๐
In this kind of weather, rainy and cold, I always want something to eat. I'm just glad I'm stocking snacks for the kids, I have something to eat when I can not go out to buy. ๐ I don't know when the weather will be fine again. ๐ถ
Since I will work more and more a few days from now, grind more BCH and the paper works, I'll assume staying late at night. These past few weeks, I can't stand to stay late for consecutive days. I got headaches from lack of sleep. I tried to nap during the day, but I can't be consistent, I'm occupied by the house chores. I think of taking a hot cup of milk but I think it'll give me more weight. ๐ถ I can't take tea too because it'll contradict my pills. Who else here isโฆ
Last night was Shopeeโs Payday Sale and I only got fewer free items this time. I chose to sleep early because I'm restraining myself in opening the app too. Here's one of the free items I got. It's an eye mask from Breylee, it's only one piece but it's not bad since it's free. Also, I'm impressed as they shipped the item immediately. โบ Can't wait to try this!
In the middle of my writing, my cousin interrupted me again. She keeps on messaging me and I can't ignore her. ๐ Now I'm distracted, tsk. I hate this, I can't finish my writings tonight. ๐ She's messaging me about her sister in law who's not home yet and left her 2-year old son with them just to go to a party. The little boy woke up and cried, but thankfully he's asleep. ๐ถ My cousin can't sleep since she's concerned with our nephew, so am I.
It's a beautiful day today and I am here standing in my favorite spot. Can you see that? The leaves are showing me some love today by showing me a โheart shapeโ. ๐ Nature could show us beauty in a natural way we can't explain, it'll just give us amusement whenever we recognize them by sight. ๐ It's a sunny Saturday and I hope it'll be consistent this time. Good morning!โบ
If you're in a bad mood, do you prefer to be alone or would you rather talk to someone about it? Me, I prefer silence over anything, I'm not very vocal but my actions always tell that I am upset or not in the mood. And whenever I am in a bad mood, I always chose to be alone so I could think well. Also, my notepad is my witness, sometimes when I couldn't say the words I wanted to say, I just write them down to ease my emotions, that way, I could think calmly. ๐ How about you?
Finally, I bought a wired mouse for my laptop. ๐ But an epic failed happened, I forgot the mousepad. ๐ But then, I can still buy it tomorrow. I'm just happy I bought one so I could operate the laptop easily. It's indeed a nice afternoon, hope you are all doing fine. ๐โจ
I just woke up and almost forgot to take my scheduled pill for tonight. And nice to see this โฟCHโs logo instead of the amount we got, feels like we are all newbies again. ๐ Just flexing the banana fritters we had for snack this afternoon. My father brought me a bunch of bananas this morning so I made these fritters as our snack. This time I skip sprinkling in the sugar so it'd be perfect for my coffee. ๐

Good morning people of noise! It's a sunny Sunday here in my locality and I'm loving it. โบ It's nice to have a short walk in this kind of weather. Time to be energized! Get your coffee or tea or whatever that energizes you the day is too good to lie down, get up, and start your day with a smile. ๐ A blessed Sunday folks! โจ
While I was walking this morning, I was lucky to witness a black insect that I assumed was a bee enjoying the Blue ternate flower in the yard. I was not sure if it was a bee, so I searched for it on Google lens and I just learned I was right and it was a Carpenter Bee. It's really fun and fascinating to discover new learnings such as the exact name of the creatures around us. I always see this around but I never know it was called a Carpenter bee. ๐ Now I know. ๐
Welcome to our neighborhood! Where people are with different views and beliefs but they are so concern about cleanliness. You can see how people here maintain the road garbage-free. This photo was taken while I was having a stroll outside, since the weather was beautiful and clear, I miss taking photos of the sky on the roadside view. I was loaded this Sunday and I'm so happy I was able to finish my laundry without getting them wet by the rain. ๐ Now, I have enough energy toโฆ

We had crazy weather this Monday and I am so exhausted with the activities I had the whole day, to the extent that I fell asleep after dinner and I just woke up at this hour. ๐ถ We had sunny weather but the rain still fell with thunderstorms and then itโll rain again.

Good afternoon! I just took a break from counting scores of my father's Grade 8,9, & 10 students' exams. I'm so sorry for not interacting here recently, I've been very busy starting this week. I still have lots of papers to check, this is making me occupied. I even have no time to rest, after checking, I will look after the kids. It's very tiring to be a mom, you can't even take a single quick nap in the afternoon. ๐ But I need to do the hard work because no one will do it.โฆ
This is my only capacity for today, I failed to finish my writings because I am too emotional. ๐คฃ I don't know, but I suddenly lose my mood in writing, my thoughts are rumbled now, because of a personal reason. I just want to be here until midnight and so on.
It's already Wednesday! How time flies so fast were close to the weekend again. Maybe because of so many things I am facing, I almost didn't acknowledge the date. And before I forgot, I would like to share with you the sight I saw two days ago. Due to busyness, I missed sharing it here. It's really a pleasant feeling whenever I saw such a sight at dusk, it's been a while. ๐
I wasn't feeling well since yesterday, and I feel I'll be catching a fever. Maybe because of too many workloads and restless days I had recently. ๐ So I took paracetamol to help me calm my headache.

Before the rain poured today, we gladly managed to have a quick walk on this empty street again. And these days, the kids are enjoying having a stroll here, it's because there are days where there are goats here. You see, on the roadside, there are plenty of grasses, so the goats are sometimes found there having a munch. But today, the goats are nowhere to find. So we just have a short walk and then head back home. I never expected the downpour because the sky wasn't showingโฆ

Though every day might not be as good as yesterday or any other day you had, it's still important to look for the optimistic side of each day.

We had a very appetizing viand this morning. Here in Iloilo, we call it โLamayoโ, or semi-dried marinated fish. This is not too salty, unlike any dried fish we got on the market.

To mend my broken heart because of what happened to my phone earlier, my husband cooked our all-time favorite viand, chicken adobo with pineapple. This is to ease my feelings today.

Is dinner done?
โSuch an Unfortunate Mondayโ *October 25, 2021* *Monday* ***This day has been very tragic for me, in one day, in a snap, I was in a state of shock!

โThis day has been very tragic for me, in one day, in a snap, I was in a state of shock! No kidding, these days has been very tough for me, I was filled with work (paper works), the activities of my son, and my unfinished drafts for days, I hope it won't be left undeveloped because of what happened today.โ Done with this article tonight, summed up how my Monday was. But then, let's all just look at the positive sides. However, it was such an unfortunate Monday for me. ๐ โฆ
It's already 1 am here and I just can't sleep. Maybe because my mind is currently full at this moment, full of thinkings and some aren't beneficial at all. Yet, there are so many things to be thankful for so, I am just believing in the hopeful one. Sooner or later, before I close my eyes, let me share with you one of the shots I took a few days ago. That time, I was doing my morning routine, and I'm not sure about that moisture in the flower if it's the morning dew or itโฆ
Happy Tuesday everyone! We're having a gloomy day today and this flower could say how was the weather here, it's rainy. This morning I woke up with a smile, oh, there's no room for frowning right? โบ It's almost lunchtime but I couldn't feel it because of the shady surroundings. Good thing there is always a clock to remind me. ๐
I just unlocked the Gold Tier Loyalty on Shopee from my orders since January. All in all, I have already completed 25 orders, plus another three completed orders today, and I still have 12 pending orders to be delivered. This app helps me to save and reward myself too. ๐ I'm just happy to catch free items and they made me a Gold Member on Shopee. ๐
We had a rainy morning this day but in the afternoon the sun came out for a moment, so we grabbed the chance to have a stroll in the street nearby. And this time the goats were there but couldn't come closer because there might be a guard dog around. ๐ Using my hubby's camera, I took a quick shot of the surroundings. I only capture a few because I am paying attention more to the kids and the phone I am holding. And among the shots, I captured earlier, here's a better snap ofโฆ
Found these chewy candies on the snack box tonight. I just can't resist these soft candy balls. They are not too sweet but I could compare them to mochi that tastes like yema. ๐ So addictive, but then I have to control myself from eating sweets. Wanna have some? ๐
I wasn't active the whole day today because my husband went to the cemetery in his hometown and he brought with him my phone to have it checked in the service center too. The agents told him that there will be an available screen/LCD for Oppo A94 next week, so I'll have to grind more to hit the target. ๐ But it seems impossible. ๐ถ He just got home this evening and that's the time I just hold my phone. Before he left this morning, I told him to get me some photos of the cityโฆ
My cousin and I are currently talking about our plan of going to the cemetery tomorrow. Since both of us are free, we decided to go for a visit to our deceased love ones. It's been two years since I last visited the graveyard and tomorrow will be the last day of the visitations. Just don't mind the coffee, I'm having my nightly dose. ๐
Just got home from the cemetery. As I said last night, my cousin and I planned to go to the cemetery today to visit our deceased grandparents because it's the last day of visitation too. It was hot and very sunny and we forgot to bring an umbrella with us. Yet we're satisfied to light candles for them and offered them prayers. It was exhausting maybe because of the warmness of the sun. A wonderful Thursday, noisy friends! ๐
Last night something came up so I wasn't able to go online. When personal matters rose, I became unstable and can't focus so I decided to just take a rest. But now everything went back to normal again, so I am here with a smile again and a lot of peace in my heart. So this Friday, I am sharing with you this photo from our walk yesterday. It's one of my favorite shots actually, the cross plus the sky complements very well, but it's just for me hehe. There's something strongโฆ
They say everything happens for a reason and I always recognize it. No matter what's happening with you today, if something's disturbing your mind or things didn't come out as you planned, for sure God is making a better result for you. You just have to put your faith and work with a positive perception. And there's a lot to be thankful for, that's why no matter how hard my problem sometimes, I am still here, I kept my feet standing in the ground. Let's work for the life weโฆ
I was having fun using GCam today. Are you familiar with GCam? I am so satisfied to see a modded Gcam for Oppo A94. Here's a sample shot, no filter just a raw picture from Gcam. I can see it's clearer and more sharp and saturated too. Unlike the stock camera shots which are more vibrant in hue. ๐
It's a cold evening tonight and I'm having my nightly dose of coffee. This time, I'm pairing it with a snack, cute piayas. ๐ But I can't finish one pack, I'll just consume 3 pieces. ๐ Also, let me flex with you the tablecloth I got for free from Shopee. I like the design and mostly I love the fact that I got this for free. It's really cute perfect for my mini desk and my coffee. ๐
Working with the exam results of grade 8 students today. I'm jotting down their scores I'm not getting halfway yet. ๐ Last night I was writing a special article, but I got a sudden headache, maybe due to a lack of sleep for days so I chose to sleep earlier. Now I'm feeling better and have the energy to do this task. How was your morning today? Hope you guys are doing well. ๐
It rained again today, and because of that, we're stuck at home the whole day again. But before the dusk began, I had a chance to go out as the rain stopped suddenly. So here's my share for today, a wet leaf of an alocasia plumbea or metallic taro planted in our yard. ๐
I was talking with my cous about her best friend's little brother who died a few days ago. It was a sad story, the head of their family died too last July now, they are facing another tragic moment. The poor boy suffered from an illness and was operated on in the head/skull. The operation was successful but he didn't wake up for days, and suddenly his body refused to live. Now the family is wondering where to get money for his funeral, the funeral homes couldn't release himโฆ
Since I can not go out to attend the mass every Sunday, I'm so glad there's an online mass held by the Parish Church in the town. The Sunday mass is over and it's time to have some coffee. ๐ It's a fine day indeed. Hope everyone will have a blessed and productive Sunday. ๐
Gosh! It's a very busy Sunday for me! I have done a lot of things today. I finished the laundry and have a great walk with the kids right after. It was tiring but all in all, I am so delighted. In our walk, we spotted these two goats beside the road they were busy eating leaves so I got a chance to take photos of them. The kids love them a lot and every time we're going to that street nearby, they are always looking for the presence of these two goats. ๐
One of the things that made me smile today is this parcel I received. It's one of the free items I got from Shopee. At first, it may sound absurd to receive and open free stuff online but it's very real. ๐ And here's another example of them. The seller also gave me a freebie (a hair tie/scrunchie). So far this necklace is my fave. ๐ I am supposed to write an article as part two of my Budol finds but I fell asleep earlier. Tsk, now I'm torn to write or just have it doneโฆ
It's November 1, oh, how time flies so fast! And the day greeted me with w bright and sunny weather this morning. I hope it will last until this afternoon so my laundry would dry up. ๐ It's All Saint's Day and as a tradition, households will celebrate this day by cooking sticky foods such as sticky rice and making it into delicacies, such as suman or rice cake. And that's what we're planning to cook for today. ๐ What makes you busy this first day of November?
