Snapshots of my Hometown My hometown is a peaceful place to be, though it's not guaranteed to be very peaceful with zero crime, yet you still could love your life being here. As I walked along the roadside, getting some snapshots of my way, I was smiling in my head, the memories of where I was raised and grew up slowly playing back. And so, in this article, I prepared for you, let me take you on a quick virtual tour, featuring some snapshots of my hometown. I am an ilongga,…
Just came back from school today. I was with my two boys, and Damien was making a silly smile when I told him to pose for a photo. 😅 Starting next year, he will start schooling too and his older brother (Near) will be in a different school. Despite the pandemic, I’m glad the daycare center here made some steps to conduct limited classes since last year. And next month (June) they will start to practice for the whole month for their moving up ceremony in July. I'm a bit…
My cousin visited my uncle’s derby chickens early this morning. He brought with him a sack full of Indian mangoes, though we have Indian mango trees here, their fruits are unreachable because they're too high. When I was a kid, I could consume plenty of this fruit, it's one of my favorites too. ☺ I still like it but not as same as before in which I could finish almost more than 5 fruits in one sitting. 😁 Gotta peel some and start the chew lol. Good morning! 😚
Forgot to share my latest article last day, hehe. It was all about some snapshots I took in my little hometown. I just wanna thank my fellow readers who dropped their comments on this article. Thank you so much for the support. 😘 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/snapshots-of-my-hometown-4cedf930
It's been a while since my last post here, plus I didn't picture a blue ternate flower for long too. Here’s a fresh shot I took just now in the garden. This is the only flower that remains to blossom while some are petals closed already. With the orangy shine of the setting sun, the flower's beauty stood out even more. ☺
“My Unsolved Bizarre Encounters” While I was sitting outside, enjoying the blowing wind in my hair, as I watched the kids playing with rocks and stones, a memory of the 6-year-old me suddenly popped in. *** I was playing with small stones alone in the yard when someone or somebody throws a small stone in my direction. Out of shock, I was startled and looked around, no one was there. But instead of thinking something scary maybe somebody’s hiding, that’s what I told myself.…
** I was playing with small stones alone in the yard when someone or somebody throws a small stone in my direction. Out of shock, I was startled and looked around, no one was there. But instead of thinking something scary maybe somebody’s hiding, that’s what I told myself. However, I felt intense fear when a second throw landed on the ground in front of me. And so, I ran into the house and just watched television instead to divert my thinking. Could it be a ghost or…
I was so exhausted this afternoon after battling with a huge load of laundry. 😅 The good thing was we still have melon milkshake powder so I tried to make a refresher drink. It helped me ease the hot weather plus helped me to rest my tired muscles too. 😅 How was your day, noise family? Hope everything went well today. 💖
It's a sunny day today and it's Friday! I don't know why my kids are so industrious today. They are currently cleaning the yard, as you could glimpse the boy in the background of my shot. 😅 I was busy looking for the right angle to make a lovely shot of the guava lead bud, yet I couldn't do it properly. But then, my son in the background made it nicer. 😁 Happy Friday everyone! Hoping for a better day. 💚
A bright and hot afternoon to all. Sharing with you this shot I took just now while I wandered in the garden today. We couldn't stay longer inside the house because it was too hot despite using an electric fan, it just couldn't ease the hotness easily. So we just stayed outside to feel the blowing wind instead. I'm craving some cold desserts but I couldn't go out due to extremely hot weather too. 😅
While wandering in town last night to buy something, I saw a crowd in the plaza. Then I passed by to see what they were busying at. And I saw that our town hall was pretty glamorous with lights. Presenting our newly renovated town hall located in our plaza. ☺ The town celebrated its opening last night and people were watching the local band singing. The town hall looks very elegant and another pride of our town. I only got a chance to see the outside, but I saw photos of how…
Look who’s sleeping so soundly while I was playing some music on my phone today at the terrace. He just went home this morning, maybe he’s out early to go to his babe, char. 😅 And I saw he has a scar on his face, maybe he engaged in catfights last night. Naughty cat indeed. 😄
To all moms who are striving so hard, single moms, working moms, and stay-at-home mommas, dreaming to give their family and children a happy and fruitful life, Happy Mother's Day! I know how tough to face challenges right from the start during pregnancy, until giving birth and dedicating your whole life to your family. Yet being a mother is one of the noble roles every woman could be. I just wanna say, no matter what problems we may face, no matter how stressful our…
Done casting votes with my cousins this afternoon. 😁 Have you voted already my fellow Filipinos? I was so happy walking outside my voting precinct because I voted only for deserving people based on my conscience and knowledge too. ☺ So far we had a peaceful election today. Hopefully, you are all doing fine. Good afternoon ❣
While on our way out of the school premises, I saw lovely flowers along the hallway, so I took the chance to take photos of them to share here. ☺ They’re so lovely and I love their beauty, aren’t they? These flowers are planted in my former school in elementary where we voted today. I was just amazed to see how lovely our school had become. 😉
“A Photo–filled Monday” **May 9, 2022** **Monday** This date marks a special day for the country, the Philippines because on this day registered Filipino voters need to cast their votes to appoint who they know who deserves to serve the country. I am so serious at this point, God bless my country. 🙏🏻 But of course, I don't wanna write mainly about politics today, I just wanna show how my Monday went. 😜 Early this morning, while my husband was going to the bus stop, he saw…
This day went well for me, it was filled with photos that made me happy! So I made an article to express and just to tell how my day went. 😉 Here's a sample shot I took today, of the irresistible landscape in our elementary school. I cannot help myself but take photos while in the vicinity. 😉 To see more shots, just click this link I attached. https://read.cash/@eommaZel/a-photo-filled-monday-721c0a77
It's so sunny today just like yesterday. ☺ Honestly, this photo was taken yesterday while we were going home. It's so hot today just like the reactions to the unofficial results of the election. Yet, I am happy that my Mayor’s bet here in our town won. At least I could say, people here are wise and intelligent voters. 😌 How are you today?
Just done with the heavy laundry this afternoon and it made me feel hungry. Glad there's a pack of Nissin Spaghetti, it somehow cures my hunger. ☺ it's certainly fulfilling to see your laundry baskets empty. 😁 How did you spend your Tuesday guys?
Every new morning comes new opportunities. And on this brand new day, I felt so blessed to witness the wonderful scenery of the morning sun. And today, I have so many things to do, but I wanna finish smoothly lol. It's so nice to see the sunrise, it gave me a wonderful impression of the day. 😌 Despite the busyness, despite the various stuff we're facing, let's all be grateful for the new day. Get up, rise and shine. 😚
Just came home from a meeting with the teacher and parents about the children's upcoming graduation in Daycare held at my eldest’s school this afternoon. I brought with me my secondborn and fortunately, he was well-behaved throughout the whole meeting. Then my son's teacher told me I should register my secondborn this upcoming school year. He's currently 2 years old and will be three this September. Honestly, I am planning to enroll him next year but the teacher said he…
The sun’s so bright today and the sky is so clear, seems another great day it could be. However, I'm still suffering a mild runny nose though I took medicine. I guess I need more water therapy instead. 😊 Hello, fellow noise mates! How are you today? 🤗
Subj. Prompt: A Good Day I Recently Had. Probably, most writers already experienced this hard time thinking about what topic to write about. As we want to deliver new articles to our readers, sometimes it's indeed tough to think what should be our next subject in writing. And today, while I was listening to a song from a favorite K-drama of mine titled, ***Hello*** by ***Sohyang*** from the drama *****18 Again*****, I tried to search for random topics/subjects generator…
— Sunny, rainy, windy, or depending on the weather, yet it's more than that, for me. For me, I often had a good day, when my day went well and I spent time enough with my family, I considered it already good. However, when I sum it all up, my days were just ordinary and seems repeated. But then recently, I indeed had a good day, and that was before the election day, May 8, 2022. — To read more here's the link to my latest article written today. 🤗…
Currently encoding my father's lesson plan for the opening of face-to-face classes in their school probably next month or next week. While I am in the middle of my chore, this clingy cat suddenly hopped on me. See, he truly likes to bother me every time I am doing something important. 😅 It's really hot today so I choose to do my work outside so I could feel the fresh air. 🤗 Good afternoon, lovely people!
Not feeling well until this very moment, that's the main reason why I failed to give updates yesterday. After the runny nose, now I am experiencing clogged nose and I hate it. 😅 But now, I decided to face my phone again hehe. And of course, I couldn't resist not sharing this with you. I captured this the day before yesterday, I was mesmerized by the beautiful cloud formation from afar. It blended well with the peaceful view of the plaza on that afternoon. ☺ But the weather…
If you're an early riser, you gotta have a chance to experience this morning's beauty. Early this morning I strolled into the town to buy some snacks for the kids. Walking is healthy and walking with this kind of view is so magical. Though I am not feeling well until today, somehow I felt a bit of relief from breathing fresh morning air plus seeing the lovely sunrise made me happy. ☺ How's your Monday? Are your schedules busy? I already accomplished my morning obligations at…
How’s your Tuesday going today? Forgive me for the unreplied comments yesterday, I just got a terrible headache that caused me to sleep early for how many nights now. But this Tuesday, as the sun began to shine, and no rain has fallen, I decided to move and worked my muscles by doing the laundry and other chores. And surprisingly, I feel a lot better. I'm not that sleepy, unlike last night when I couldn't fight my eyes from closing. Plus, since I am how many days absent from…
“Moody like the Weather” `>> On this inexplicable night, somehow, I am happy while writing down on my notepad. Since my father began their face-to-face classes last Monday, he brought back with him his laptop. So, I left with no choice but to use again my notepad for writing.` These days since the election day, I started to feel unwell. First I got a mild runny nose until I experienced a clogged nose that made me uncomfortable for a couple of days. And honestly, when I…
“Just like the weather, people change.” or shall I say, “Just like the weather, people's moods change.” 😁 Just done with this topic tonight, it's about how certain kinds of weather affect my mood from time to time. Though they might not affect me directly, somehow they could be a little reason behind my shifting mood. 🙃 So, yeah.. I am “ Moody like the Weather”. 🤯 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/moody-like-the-weather-355d9a9f
Just in line with my article published last night titled “Moody like the Weather”, we are precisely experiencing a moody weather today. 😅 Early in the morning it was so gloomy, then the sun shines for a moment before 11 this morning it rained heavily with thunderstorms, then as of the moment after the rain, it's currently hot because the sun is so high. I hung back the wet clothes under the sun, hoping this sunny weather will continue until the clothes will dry up. ☺ How…
Umagang kay Ganda! Did you eat your breakfast already? Hope you are well and not sick, weather these days is so unpredictable. 😘 And thankfully I am well now, my sickness is gone so I could use my free time here, hopefully. ☺ Took this shot a few days ago, it was early in the morning and the street light was still on. 😄
The sun is so high this lunchtime, I was preoccupied with the household chores early this morning, then I received news that my uncle (my mother's brother) was rushed to the hospital last night because his neck suddenly became inflamed and enlarged. He was checked up last month about the unusual lump in his neck and the doctor's assessment of it was a cyst but thankfully it's not cancerous. However, it grew bigger 4x last night and they were in Boracay at the time he can't…
How are you guys? Just got home from plaza today, the kids had fun playing on the playground the whole afternoon today. The day was tiring, been preoccupied the whole morning with household stuff then, we went out this afternoon, making my muscles sore, lol. But before anything else, let me share with you my capture a while ago. It's our lovely Church in town. 😊 it was newly painted so it's very nice to take a picture of it. 🤗 As usual, I'm resting currently my tired body…
One of the attractions for the kids in the playground is different hero/cartoon characters statues. These statues give excitement to the kids especially those who believe these characters exist. So, as we spent our afternoon in the playground, my youngest take time to roam around and see the different figures he could find. And among all, he likes Batman more than the others because he said Batman is cool because he is a bat. 😅 They did enjoy their day out today, and, it…
— Our Dream House ***“There is no place like home.”*** indeed this saying is true, living in a specific place is significant as we take our journey of life here on Earth. The place where you live where your mind and body are safe, comfortable, and pleased could affect how you face your day-to-day living and could mold your personality and point of view too. One evening, as my kids were deeply sleeping, I was lying in my bed, waiting for my husband to go home from work when I…
My phone's battery is running out, yet I managed to write this unexpectedly, I couldn't let it pass. ☺ Leaving here my recent article, it was about our long-lost dream, not yet reached but still living in our hearts. 😘 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/our-dream-house-31cc137d
Another day has started, and a new week is about to end, a new morning is born and today we are given another chance to do better. It's really up to us how we spend our day. 😘 As the sun is brightly shining above, I am just here waiting for our time for bathtime. 😁 We had our breakfast very early today as I rose earlier than usual too. I still don't know what will be our lunch later, I'm just taking my time to think. Days are passing by so quickly, aren't they? I still…
My father came over today, he visited his grandchildren and he brought them presents (foods/snacks). He also brought another chicken that lays eggs so my eldest will have another pet too. But before he left, he asked when will be my eldest's moving up ceremony and I told him it will be on June 24. He left but he came back with a pair of black shoes, he just left to buy this pair of shoes so my son could use them on June 24. ☺ He's such a sweet grandfather to my kids that's…
Remember my old post last week about a beautiful cloud formation I spot at the plaza? Today, I am very lucky to see another gigantic cloud formation while I am on my way home. I went out to buy in a sari-sari store and as I paved my way back, I saw this fishtail-like cloud in the sky. It was so huge and it immediately captured my attention. ☺ Are you fond of capturing the sky just like me? I don't mind taking pictures of the things I find beautiful even if it's in public,…
Good day, noise family! Just got home from school today. It's so hot and the weather is very bright. The good thing is the air is a bit cooler so I am spending my time here outside. Flexing our new babies with you! Beauty, our dog, gave birth about a week ago. And she conceived these three cutie little pups, honestly, she gave birth to four puppies but the other one died after birth. Hopefully, these pups will grow healthy because her past puppies always die. I still don't…
Gone to another place? No, it's just in our backyard. Early this morning we went to the back of the house where my uncle breeds derby roosters. The kids ran over there because they wanted to show me their rooster for the upcoming derby. But before it became a breeding ground for the roosters, it is the place where I, my younger self used to play with my cousins. And until today, the bamboo tree is still standing tall there. Presently, despite it being just in the back of our…
This little cutie is sleeping on our doorstep, so I decided to not let the kids pass by through the main door, and closed the terrace. Instead, we'll be using the door in the kitchen. The dogs now occupied the whole terrace because I remember when Beauty gave birth suddenly, she was stuck on the terrace because of heavy rain and she got no choice but to deliver her pups there. But I guess, it's the safer spot for her puppies too. 😊 Wanna greet you with a Happy and a…
It's so hot today, I keep on sweating even if I stay here outside the house. Got this ice cream to cool me somehow as a prize for helping my 3rd-year college cousin with his Essay exam this afternoon. 😅 Supposedly, I should write this afternoon but it was canceled because my cousin asked for a little help regarding his exam. And so he bought me this ice cream, how sweet of him! ☺ How were your Thursday, buddies? Let's eat! 😊
“Dreams to Reality” Dreams are very common to us, humans. Deep in our sleep, we could go to the “*dreamland*” where we could play different roles in various or even familiar scenes. Some dreams could give us excitement, fear, and sadness, yet could surprise us too. What if one day, you'll see your dream coming true? ***Would you agree that sometimes dreams could be a sign? A sign of luck or could be a premonition to some event.*** Weird, that's what I told myself when some…
Gosh, at last, the thunder stopped and I managed to finish this writing before my eyes are set to close. — “What if one day, you'll see your dream coming true? Would you agree that sometimes dreams could be a sign? A sign of luck or could be a premonition to some event.” This article is about my dreams that became real, or I should say, some events that happened were related to what I've dreamed. Ps: this article is based on my real and weird experiences of dreams to…
All I could say is, it's Happiness! Walking on a peaceful road with a beautiful view of the setting sun is priceless. This week has been a little tough, problems are nonstop, yet I am still very aware of the blessings I reaped. Just like this sunset in front of me, only a few could see the bright sight of it. Some may look at it as a common occurrence, but for me, sunsets are like my happy pill! Along with its beauty comes my faith for tomorrow as it's just telling me that I…
Early this morning, when the sun wasn't up yet, I was awakened by a rough thunder. I could see through the window the flash of lightning. It made me anxious so failed to sleep again. I waited for it to stop and prepare breakfast instead. Honestly, I am afraid of lightning and thunderstorms, since I saw lots of news that many people were struck recently. Fortunately, the rain stopped today and the sun peeked for a moment. And I'm still hoping that this afternoon the weather…
Recent shot this morning. A lone flower in our garden presently as the sun shines so bright and so this flower too. I am not in the mood to do anything, something's heavy inside my heart since yesterday, I couldn't focus or think positively yet I am trying. So, I am here making this post in any positive way that I can. 🙂 How are you today? It's already Sunday despite the hardships this month I could still be proud to welcome the upcoming new month in just a few days. ☺
Throwback photo This photo was taken when we visited our elders in Antique and to reach their hometown, we should pass through this place, Guimbal. You could easily recognize that you're in Guimbal Iloilo as the town is full of fences the same as, at that entrance, it looks like the sun indeed. It's clean and looks like a peaceful town too. It's just we passed by there and don't get a chance to stop by. ☺
Golden View, the sunset in just in a snap. Taken these photos in the rice field yesterday. From a brighter juncture till it darks, in just a few minutes as the sky turned darker the setting sun left a wonderful scenery for me to capture. It's been a while since I take sunset photos this beautiful on the field. ☺ And I swear, when I saw this sight, I told myself to help myself regain motivation to continue here and on read.cash. 😅 After my busyness at home I couldn't deny…
“Some Earliest Memories” *How great a man's mind is! It could store thousands and hundreds of memories as we age. And I know some memories keep on coming may they be intentional or not.* But do you also encounter a moment in which there's a memory flashing back yet you could tell that it happened years and years ago? I have encountered many times that I could consider those memories are my earliest. I certainly wonder what's the youngest age of a human to keep their memories…
Done with my unplanned latest article for tonight. I just wanna write what's inside my head so here it is. 😊 My hands are quite aching because of the loaded household chores today. 😅 Hopefully tomorrow will be easy. 😚 By the way, here's the link to my newest publication on the last day of May. 😘 A not so special article, honestly. 😅 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/some-earliest-memories-e6b23417
A not so beautiful morning in June for me. My youngest got an upset stomach and we're already awake before 4 A.M today. He suddenly puked everything he ate last night, maybe his stomach got troubled in digesting his meal. Now he's still recovering. Hopefully, he will be better. This start of the new month may not be favorable, but I wanna think positively still. 🙂 Let's welcome the new month wholeheartedly. Congratulations on surviving May. ☺
