Dashes
I just saw this pic on Facebook this morning and I thought of posting it here since it might be helpful to us as writers. I don't know about others but personally, I just learned about it today. It's about dashes and how they are used.
So there are three types of dashes which are:
Hyphen (the most common dash I know 😅)
En-Dash
Em - Dash
I hope you find this helpful as well.

Improve your writings: Use synonyms (version 2.0)
Howdy! I originally wrote this in filipino but I decided to make an english version and added more words. Hope this will be helpful.
I'm sure some writers here are struggling to write quality articles. And I bet that most of us wants to improve their way of writing. Do you know that we can make our articles more enticing by using synonyms? Synonyms are words that have exactly tye same or nearly the sme meaning. Using synonyms will help us avoid redunduncy and our articles will seem more exciting to the readers.
So I made a short list of synonyms that may help us improve our writing
1. I often use the word '**because**' when writing. But instead of using this word over and over again, use the following instead:
• *As a result of*
*• Considering that*
*• Now that*
*• Due to*
*• Inasmuch as*
*• Being as*
2. Here are also other ways to say **small**:
• *Little*
*• Compact*
*• Tiny*
*• Miniature*
*• Minuscule*
*• pocket-sized*
*• Undersized*
*• Pint - size*
3. **It is important** . I also use this words often. But we can also use the following:
*• It's notable*
*• It's essential*
*• It's considerable*
*• It's notable*
*• It's substantial*
*• It's remarkable*
4. Why not use one these instead of saying '**I dont know**' so you won't seem like an idiot for not having an idea.
• *It's a mystery to me*
*• That's exactly what I'm seeking to answer*
*• Who knows?*
*• That requires a bit more research first*
*• I have no idea*
*• I haven't got a clue*
*• I haven't the faintest idea*
*• Your guess is as good as mine*
5. How to say '**It's boring**' in other ways?
• *It bores me to death*
*• It's like watching paint dry*
*• It's dull*
*• It's like watching grass grow*
6. When writing about nature, instead of saying '**beautiful view**' or '**great view**'. Try these other using these instead:
• *It's awe-inspiring*
*• It's jaw-dropping*
*• It takes my breath away*
*• It's like a picture-postcard*
7. When saying someone is '**stupid'** or '**dumb'**, use the following so you won't sound too harsh:
• *Dull*
*• Indiscreet*
*• Dorky*
*• Trivial*
*• Pinhead*
*• Dope*
*• Nonsensical*
*• Simpleminded*
*• Puerile*
When writing, using a dictionary won't hurt as it even helps us to search for the appropriate synonyms but be careful when using a dictionary considering that it gives a long list of words at times and some words have a slightly different meaning or it is meant to be used in a different way. Nevertheless, try to install a dictionary app, look for synonyms and I'm pretty sure it will help you improve your writing.

Hurrah! Today marks my first month on read cash and I'm enjoying everything here so far.
Improve your writing, Use Synonyms
Howdy! I'm sure na yung iba po sa atin po ay nag struggle sa pagsulat ng quality articles. At lahat naman po siguro tayo gustong mag improve ang pagsusulat natin. Alam nyo ba na pwede nating mas mapaganda ang pagkakasulat ng articles sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng mga salitang magkasingkahulugan o sa ingles 'synonyms'. Kung gagamit tayo ng mga synonyms hindi magiging paulit ulit ang paggamit ng mga salita at mas magiging exciting ito para sa nagbabasa.
So I made a short list of synonyms na pwedeng makatulong sa bawat isa sa atin.
1. Madalas gamitin natin yung salitang '**Because**'. Imbes na ulit-ulitin ang salitang ito pwede nating gamitin ang alin man sa mga sumusunod:
• As a result of
• Considering that
• Now that
• Due to
• Inasmuch as
• Being as
2. **It is important**. Eto madalas ko din gamitin 'to. Pero pwede naman gamitin ang mga ito:
• It's notable
• It's essential
• It's considerable
• It's notable
• It's substantial
• It's remarkable
3. Madalas ginagamit din natin yung **'I don't know**', minsan nga ginagamit natin 'idk' na lang. Why not use one of the following instead?
• I have no idea
• I haven't got a clue
• I haven't the faintest idea
• Your guess is as good as mine
4. Paano naman sabihin yung '**It's boring'?** Here are other ways how to:
• It bores me to death
• It's like watching paint dry
• It's dull
• It's like watching grass grow
5. Paano kapag nagsusulat ka about sa nature? Imbes na sabihing '**beautiful vie**w' o kaya '**great view**', try these:
• It's awe-inspiring
• It's jaw-dropping
• It takes my breath away
• It's like a picture-postcard
Madalas ginagawa ko yan kapag nagsusulat. Especially kapag nagdi-describe madalas nagsesearch muna ako ng angkop na synonym para di maging redundant yung sinasabi ko. Makakatulong din kung mag iinstall kayo ng dictionary app. Konti lang po yan pero sana makatulong.
It's nice to be back! Kumusta kayo mga ka read cash? Ngayon lang ulit nagkaroon ng data kaya ngayon lang ullit nakapag online hehe. Good thing kahit di ako nag online ng dalawang araw may nakuha pa ring $0.91. Konti na lang idadagdag pang one week na data na ulit 😁
The Positive Side of Alcohol - (Alcohol effects 2nd entry)
As the night gets closer to the end of day, I am here on my room, laying in bed and wondering whether to write two more articles to have more chance of getting that prize because I know that there's a lot of amazing entries out there. And so I decided to write because why not? I've got my self motivation back to ***support*** me on writing.
So I was thinking whether to write the negativities with regards to drinking alcohol and upon pondering for a while, just for a change, I'll write something positive about it. Drinking alcohol is not bad at all as long as we do it in moderation and moderate drinking instead of binge I think makes someone look ***charming***. A little bit of alcohol brings hapiness to a person's heart, especially when you do it with your friends, you can just talk about lovelife, problems, adventures over a bottle of wine. And when you have high alcohol tolerance you won't end up crawling home like a ***worm***. Another positive effect of drinking alcohol is that it is good for the health. Most women experience dysmenorrhea whenever they have their menstruation and you can see their ***perplex*** reaction thinking about how to ease the excruciating pain and drinking a bit of alcohol will reduce the pain, I swear. I also heard somewhere that drinking alcohol also reduces the risk of getting heart disease (I'm not too sure about this though since I didn't conduct any research prior to writing this article). So don't always look at the bad side, look at the bright side and good effects as well and remember to drink when you are in good mood not just when you have problems.

Nakakalungkot at nakaka disappoint lang dahil may nag thumbs down sa entry ko dun sa alcohol effects. Why? Sobrang pangit ba? Pwede namang icomment na lang kung hindi agree sa mga sinulat ko dun o kaya wag na lang mag react at all 😔😭😭
Pakicheck naman guys and tell me kung anong mali dun please.

Alcohol and Family (Alcohol effects first entry)
Tic-toc, tic-toc tic-toc. I can hear the ticking of the clock on the living room which indicates that it's midnight. I'm still wide awake and didn't notice that it's already this late. Well, this is just another night of watching vlogs and music videos of my handsome and ***charming*** korean 'oppas'. I paused the music video I'm currently watching and all I hear is the deafening silence of the neighborhood when suddenly I heard a loud 'BAAM!' sound outside. I surely know what's happening so I hurriedly ran out of my room and there I saw my dad lying on the floor, slowly crawling to their room like a ***worm***. Tsk! It's nothing new, I'm used to this, NO, actually our whole family is used to this scenario. We're used to see our dad drinking alcohol every night. He's either drinking alone or drinking with friends. He's not like this before though. He used to be the sweet-loving father who wants the best for his children and he's very hardworking too and I do love and respect him for that. But now? I'm not too sure. I'm starting to lose my respect everytime I see him throwing and breaking things whenever he's drunk. I can't bear to see my sibling's ***perplex*** reactions and hurting emotions everytime they witness our parents fighting all because of my dad's behaviors when he's drunk. It's disappointing that the burning love that our family once had has turned into ***ashes*** as my dad's negative behaviors surfaced when he became addicted to alcohol. I had a lot of chances before to leave this house and escape this depressing reality but I just can't. I know that as the eldest daughter, I have the responsibility to give moral and emotional ***support*** to my mom and my siblings. My family is so messed up right now, but I'm hoping and praying that one day my dad will change back to the loving father that I once adore, that one day we will have that happy family I'm longing for. Oh well, enough for this negative thoughts. I came back from my reverie when I heard small cries from the other bedroom, my younger sister is crying again - poor child, she's too young to experience this.
Ten minutes is up! However, I am writing this based on my real experience so I have a lot to say. This experience clearly shows the negative effects if a person becomes addicted to alcohol. It can ruin good family relationships, children tends to lose respect to their parents and it can bring depressing emotion and heartaches to children. It's okay to drink alcohol as long as you do it with moderation and it's also okay if you drink just to ***release*** tension and stress but it's NOT okay being a drunkard!

Nostalgia
As an adult, lots of people may agree that they are missing things from their childhood. As we grow up and gets older we face many changes and sometimes we just feel the urge to be a child again and seeing some things from our childhood brings in nostalgic feelings. As a ver sentimental person, here are few of the things that brings back memories and nostalgia and unconsciously a smile is formed in my face whenever I remember them.
1. Console **Video Games like Super Mario, Pacman, and Duck Hunt**. I can still vividly remember those times as a kid when me and my cousins have to fight over who will hold the console so we can play Super Mario and other games. And of course since I'm the youngest, I always lose to them. But nothing feels great when I'm the one playing.
2. **Encarta Kids**. As 90's kid this serves as our 'google'. During those times, when someone owns a computer set this application is always present and you'll surely get the highest rating for an assignment when doing some research here. The games and other fun stuffs are very informative too. This is the reason why I'm always in a hurry to go home after school when I was in 5th grade.
3. **Snake/Space Impact/Bantumi Games**. Before mobile games on smartphones emerge this has been the coolest games I've played before on a Nokia 3310 or 3315 cellphone. Hapiness is real when you have to fight with the biggest monster on Space impact.
4. The **classic television**. Who would forget those classic tv's where we can watch our favorite cartoons like Teletubbies, Banana's in Pyjamas and many other cartoons that we enjoy watching as a kid.
5. **Paper Dolls**. Most girls will never forget these paper dolls. As a child, I probably spent half of my money to buy these.
6. **Songhits Magazines**. Nowadays it is very easy to search on google for the lyrics of a new song. But before, excitement flows in whenever a classmate brings a new songhits magazine in class which has new songs in it. Once you borrow, it's either you write a copy of the song or memorize it.
7. How about these **folded letters**? It has been the best tool for communication before those sms and chats that we have today. Have you also tried giving your crush one of these? Or probably you're the one who received it. ❤️
8. **Collection of Stickers**. These sticker collection has been a tressure to some kids before. And I'm one of those who collects all sorts of stickers. They just seem so fascinating to me.
I'm sure this is just a few of the things from our childhood and teenage years that most of us misses. Comment that thing that triggers nostalgic memories in you and those that I failed to mention too.
*PS: I got the pictures on google.*
Sa kalaliman ng gabi bigla na lang akong napabalikwas at nagising nang maramdaman kong wala ka sa aking tabi. Dahil di ko maramdaman yung init at kiliting nanggagaling sayo kaya pakiramdam ko kulang ako at di makakatulog pang muli. Ganito na lamang ba talaga kada gabi? Hindi ko alam simula't sapul kasi ganito na. Di ko alam kung kailan ko unang naramdaman na di ko kayang mabuhay at lalo na ang matulog nang wala ka. Ikaw ang kumukumpleto sa bawat gabi ko oh aking kulambo.
Finding my lost self-motivation (Free writing practice)
These past days I just can't seem to organize my thoughts and I can't write something good that reaches my expectations. Yes, I still publish articles but I'm not satisfied with it (maybe I'm just being a perfectionist again) I love writing though, I remember that I keep a diary back in high school and it has always been my confidant since I don't have a lot of friends back then. So whether I feel lonely, scared, in-love or experienced something good and **laughing out loud** I write. I write all my feelings down so that I can read about it it the future and reminisce my past experiences and reflect on it. But recently I don't know if I'm just being lazy or what but I can't seem to find that motivation that is always within me. Maybe I'm just stressed out because of everyday challenges. I tried **cooking** to release my stress away. Aside from listening to music, cooking has always been my stress reliever too and I always end up feeling good and motivated after spending several minutes in the kitchen. It allows me to apply creativity and bring out something good in me. I recently talk to a close friend about my dilemma and she told me 'why not try to join the free writing contest on read cash?' (By the way her username is @Myt.24 hehe I'm the one who invited her to join read and I see that she's doing great with publishing awesome articles. Well, birds with the same feathers flock together right? kidding 😂) She sent me the link and here I am in front of my **cp's** notepad, found myself writing - ideas are now flowing in and it seems like I found my lost self motivation again. I can hear the timer now so I guess this is enough for my first time trying the freewriting.
***Note: I wrote for exactly 10 minutes and did some editing for the typos afterwards. Criticisms are well appreciated.*** @wakeupkitty ***how was it?***
I recently commented on my friend's post about her getting a new sponsor and hoping to get another as well. And in just a few minutes I indeed got one! I'm so grateful 💛
It seems like I've got my will to write back and I feel happy about it since during the past days I feel so unmotivated and uninspired to write anything. I'm not sure if it's just me or others feel the same way too. Anyone with the same dilemma?
Today I reached 1001 views for my articles and I'm so happy about it. I want to extend my gratitude to those who appreciates my articles.
Floriography
As I was scrolling through my social media page this morning I saw these lovely roses and it did caught my attention. They we're so lovely and it made me reminisce the day when I received a piece of red rose coming from my crush. It's the first time so it is very meaningful to me and I'm pretty sure that for most women receiving a rose or a bouquet of roses is one of the most exciting and meaningful moment for them. With this in mind, I was motivated to write this article.
First, let us get familiar with a new word first. FLORIOGRAPHY. **Floriography** according to a dictionary *is the communication through the use of flowers or the language of flowers*. Wherein people uses various flowers or flower arrangement to express their feelings and emotions that they are unable to say in words. Though this way of expressing feelings started way back the Victorian times or era, until now people still love giving flowers to express their feelings to others and the most common flower that are given out to send a heartfelt message is the classic rose. Whether it is for someone special, to a friend or a family member, choosing the perfect color to give is very essential to relay the right message with no words at all. So I did some research about the symbols or meaning of the different colors of roses and I'll discuss just a few of them today.
**White Rose**. White roses symbolizes innocence, purity and respect. Though this color is usually used and associated with marriage because it is a symbol of a new beginning and everlasting love, it is also a perfect way to honor a friend or a loved one to recognize a new beginning or farewell. And if you want to say "I'm thinking of you" to someone, you might want to choose this color.
**Red Rose**. The perfect way to say "I Love You" since this symbolizes passion, romance and desire.
**Yellow Rose**. Yellow is associated with friendship, care and happiness. If you want to show your appreciation and affection to a friend then you can go with yellow roses!
**Pink Roses**. Pink roses convey different mwaning depending on its shade. The hot pink ones conveys gratitude, appreciation and recognition so it is a good way to say "Thank you" to someone. While the pale pink rose conveys joy, gentleness and grace.
Whatever the colour may be, a bouquet of roses will surely make someone's day brighter!

Read Cash' Remarkable Improvements and Awesome Updates
Most of us are aware that just a week ago read cash implemented new rules to the point system. Before the update I even created an article entitled "How to earn more points" based on my experience and understanding about how I gained points here. A fair amount of users commented that it helped them a lot. But then after the updates I personally don't know how I can get more points anymore. I've read the article "Upcoming changes to the point system" published by read cash but its just too complicated for me.
(You can read the whole article here: https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/upcoming-changes-to-the-point-system-f7c066c9)
And a week of being inactive here seems like I no longer understand how everything works. As person who's not fond of complication, instead of cracking my brain to understand how the 'random rewarder' works I just didn't mind and thought about it. My goal is to write and publish articles as long as it is in accordance with the website's rule: 'do not plagiarise'.
But now I'm actually amazed with the updates especially when I got my sponsors and upvotes. It even feels great when someone upvoted my comment! Wow, I didn't expect that coming.
And to my astonishment, I'm able to accumulate a total of $2.13 in just one day. I know it's a small amount compared to how much others probably gain here. But I'm happy considering I won't even get this amount when scrolling on social media pages. Before it takes three days to get this much. I don't even know how I got the points but I'm thinking that it's probably from the random rewarder.
Kudos to the developers of read cash for the remarkable improvements and awesome updates! I'm looking forward for more exciting updates!
(I'm hoping that this article somehow inspires someone out there 😁)

Menopausal
I've chosen to discuss this topic today because of my mom. Recently, I noticed that she's been acting irritable most of the time. Whatever we do does not please her and she seems like she's about to lose her temper any moment. At first I'm quite annoyed especially when I'm always blamed when something goes wrong and even when nothing's wrong it seems like she's always looking for something that will be a reason for her to get a bad mood. According to some people there are two possible reasons why a woman acts like that, its either she's pregnant or she's at her menopausal stage. So I thought my mom's undergoing the latter since it might be impossible for her to be pregnant considering her age. In order to understand her, I did a thorough research about menopause and that's what I'm going to share with you today.
At a certain point in life of a woman menopause occurs. It is the time when women's period or menstruation stops. According to a reference, it usually occurs at the age around late 40s or early 50s. It happens when a woman's ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. These two are most important hormones in a woman's body which helps to regulate a woman's menstrual cycle and these two hormones also plays an important role in pregnancy.
Menopausal stage is quite difficult for others since they have to deal with hormonal and physical changes it often causes insomnia, memory problems, difficulty in concentrating, hot flashes, decreased energy levels, and sleep disruption. And at the same time that they have to deal with menopause they usually face other sressful situations such as caring for aged parents, entering the work force, seeing children grow up and leave home, and other mid-life adjustments. These factors causes a menopausal woman to manifest emotional symptoms, anxiety, irritability and even depression.
As family members we can help someone such as our mothers in this difficult stage of their life. We can try to be more understanding, patient and don't get too affected of their mood swings.
Overflowing Ideas?
As a writer have you ever experience that moment when a lot of things are going on in your mind? That feeling when a lot of ideas comes into mind, topics you want to write however since the ideas are overflowing you don't know how to write it down or how to put it into words. It's like a bunch of noodles that you don't know how to arrange. This occurrence usually happens to me. It happened again this morning when I thought of a good topic to write about, but when I tried to write other ideas popped out in my mind so I ended up falling asleep while thinking about how to put my thoughts into words. Is it just me? Or does anyone experienced the same thing?
Never mind the points
I've been a read cash user for almost 2 weeks now. My first week as a 'writer' here was superb! I really enjoyed being here since I even forgot to open my social media accounts because I've been enjoying publishing and reading articles here. Who would've been addicted to this? I personally love writing. I write about anything and it has been my stress reliever since I don't know when. On this website I'm able to write, publish articles and enhance my writing skills and at the same time earn few bucks from it. I never expected that I'll earn a lot of cash from here though.
I still remember that on my second day of publishing articles, I received my very first upvote and as a newbie I actually don't know what it means but I was happy because it seams like someone loved my article. (I was just focused on getting more points that time)
However, after a week of using the website, the developers implemented new rules. There are varried reactions, for some it's a good thing while for others it's not, especially fore those people who are not really good in writing and just relies on commenting just to gain more points. But I thought that the updated rules are great and it is intended for the best. I like it since right after the updates I no longer see 'trashy' or non sense comments on my post. And I'm seeing a lot of nice articles that are worth reading.
However, I'm quite confused about the point system. I don't even understand that so-called 'random rewarder'. I thought that it will be complicated if I'll keep thinking of the new rules and getting points. So I decided to just write and publish good articles and I'm sure that someone out there will see it's worth and points will come eventually. I am happy that user @jwolf upvoted two of my articles. It means a lot to me because I can see that someone appreciates my articles and I am inspired more to write and express myself. I'm no longer focused on getting more points but focused on doing my passion, which is to write. 💓
Comeback article
Hello guys! It's nice to be back here in read cash. It's been a week since I last posted an article because I've been quite busy with life and other things as well. And you know what's amazing? I've been idle for more or less a week but after I logged in on the website this afternoon I see that I've got $0.70 on my wallet. I know, its a small amount, but I feel good because I've got few bucks for doing nothing. I'm not too sure whether it came from my previous articles or from my affiliates' earnings since those are the only reasons I can think of right now. Anyways I'm just so thankful and amazed about this, so I'm sharing with you all how wonderful this platform is (though I know most of you already know this fact). I've been reading all the articles from people I've subscribed to and I see all the positive things they've wrote about how they earned money on read cash after all those updates and I was like "Wow! Is this for real?". Truth be told, I'm quite jealous but I'm motivated as well because I know that I can also achieve those if I'll post nice articles that anyone will love. Another thing I noticed, the last time I went online the funds are more or less 13 thousand dollars and now I see that it went up to 99 thousand dollars. Indeed those guidelines and updates brought good impact on the website. I also want to sincerely thank the developers and I'm hoping for more good things to happen here.
Sana
Minsan di ko mapigilan na mag isip na sana naging bagay na lang ako. Minsan kasi nakakapagod na rin na sa araw araw na gumigising ako, halos ganun na lang palagi ang nangyayari. Walang bago. Yung ala sais pa lang ng umaga magigising na ko sa ingay ng nanay ko. Oo, alam ko naman na para din sa amin yung mga ginagawa o sinasabi niya. Kaso minsan sobra sobra na din. Payo nga ng bible sa mga magulang na "huwag inisin ang inyong mga anak upang hindi sila masiraan ng loob". Totoo naman yun, bilang isang magulang tama lang na pagsabihan ang mga anak pero sana gawin din nila ito sa tamang paraan. Yung nanay ko kasi minsan nasosobrahan na din, yung tipong papagalitan kami sa harap pa ng ibang tao, pwedeng namang pagsabihan na kami lang ang makakarinig. Kaya minsan naghihinanakit din talaga ako kasi minsan feeling ko kaya di ako iginagalang ng nakakabata kong mga kapatid ay dahil madalas niya akong ipahiya sa harap nila. Sana hindi ganito yung ibang magulang. Madalas din hindi niya nakikita ang mga ginagawa naming effort, yung tipong kapag ginawa namin ng kusang loob ang isang gawain parang wala lang sa kanya pero isang beses lang na di namin magawa yun eh ang dami dami nang masasamang nasasabi. Di ko nga maintindihan kung bakit ganun siya eh mabait naman yung lola ko kaya for sure di naman sila pinalaki nang ganyan. Minsan talaga nakakainis na din kaya di ko mapigilang mag sip na sana naging robot na lang ako. Yung tipong kapag nasosobrahan na hindi na lang gagana. Walang pakiramdam kahit ano pang gawin sa kanya. Pero ganun talaga may mga bagay na hindi natin kontrolado. Katulad na lang ng ugali ng nanay ko, at isang katotohanang di ko na mababago kaya ako na lang talaga mag aadjust. Iniisip na baka isang araw may magbabago rin sa sitwasyon. Pasensya na kung medyo madrama ito hindi ko lang talaga kasi mapigilang di magsulat. Ganun kasi ako eh, mas gusto ko pang isulat ang nararamdaman ko kesa ipagsabi ito sa kung kanino kasi feeling ko wala namang makakaintindi sa naramramdaman ko kundi ako.
Polyglot - Tagalog Version
Pamilyar ka ba sa salitang iyan? Binigyan ito ng isang diksyonaryong ingles ng kahulugan na ang kakayahang makapagsalita ng iba't ibang lengwahe. Ang Pilipinas ay maituturing na isang polyglot na rehiyon sapagkat maraming wika at dayalekto ang ginagamit ng mga tao dito. Ayon sa istatistika, tinatayang nasa mahigit 170 wika at lokal na dayalekto ang meron dito at walo sa mga ito ay ang pangunahing mga wika na sinasalita ng karamihan. May mga rehiyon pa nga na pumunta ka lang sa kabilang bayan iba na ang wika. Kaya naman karamihan sa mga Pilipino ay matatas magsalita ng mahigit sa isang wika. Bilang isang Pilipino ganun din ako. Habang lumalaki, tumira ako sa iba't ibang lugar kaya naman natutunan ko ang mga dayalekto sa mga lugar kung saan ako tumira. Sa kabuuan nakakapagsalita at nakikipag communicate ako ng apat na lenggwahe, ito ay ang Ingles, Filipino o Tagalog, Bicolano at Filipino Sign Language at apat na dayalekto rin. Noon, iniisip kp kung ano kaya ang talento o kakayahan ko pero ayon sa natutunan ko sa teorya ni Dr. Howars Gardner tungkol sa Multiple Intelligence na mayroon ang bawat tao, meron ako ng Linguistic Intelligence o Katalinuhan sa wika. Noong naging adik ako sa mga korean drama at kpop o musikang Koreano, nahing inspirasyon ko ito para pag aralan ang wikang Koreano pati na rin ang kailang paraan ng pagsulat na tinatawag na 'Hangeul'. Sa ngayon, hindi ko ito ginagamit sapagkat wala naman akong taong pwedeng kausapin gamit ang wikang ito. Sa pagsasalita kasi ng wika, para maging bihasa ka dito dapat ginagamit mo ito sa pang araw araw na pakikipagtalastasan dahil kung hindi maaring makakimutan mo ito. Matagal tagal na rin mula ng makilala ko ang ilang kaibigan mula sa Latin Amerika at dahil sa karamihan ng mga taga doon ay hindi o kaya kakaunti lang ang alam sa pagsasalita ng ingles, naging inspirasyon ko ito upang ipagpatuloy ang naudlot kong pag aaral ng salitang español. Hindi ko din alam kung bakit gustong-gusto kong matuto ng iba't ibang wika pero masaya ako sa tuwing natututo ako ng bago.
Polyglot
Is the word familiar to you? According to an english dictionary, a polyglot is someone who can converse in many languages. We can consider the Philippines a polyglot region since there's a lot of spoken dialects here. According to statistics, the Philippines has more than 170 spoken languages and dialects and it has eight major dialects. There are even regions wherein every single town has their own distinct dialect. So most Filipinos are bilingual or multi lingual since they can change their dialect from one to another with ease. Language is a very important aspect of our lives because it unites people and also has the power to cause war. As I was growing up, I've lived in various places so I was able to acquire the dialects in those places as well. To sum it up, I can converse and communicate in 4 languages which are English, Filipino, Bicol and Filipino Sign Language ang I also speaks 4 different dialects. Before, I've always been wondering what talents do I have but based on what I learned in Dr. Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences I have this so-called linguistic intelligence since I've always been fascinated in learning different languages. When I became addicted to korean dramas and korean music - basically anything about korea, I was motivated to study Korean language and their distinct writing as well which is called 'Hangeul'. I was able to read and speak in korean but since I'm not using it all the time and there's nobody I can speak to using that language, I'm unable to become well-versed in that language, but at least I can understand when someone speaks. Some time ago, I've met some Latina and Latino friends and they motivated me to study the spanish language. My main reason os to converse to them freely without the help of google translate since most Latinos and Latinas doesn't know how to speak english well. I'm not sure why I'm drawn to learning different languages but one thing I know is that I feel happy whenever I'm able to speak a new one.
Memories
Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon na burahin ang memories mo with a person na wala na sa buhay mo ngayon gagawin mo ba? Ako hindi. Bakit? Dahil kahit nasaktan man ako ng taong yun sa huli, there's this fact na naging masaya din ako dahil sa taong yun. I always believe na karamihan sa mga makikilala natin sa buhay ay temporary lang. Kumbaga, people come and go and as they go they will leave memories that we can remember for a lifetime, be it good or bad. So dahil nga temporary lang sila dapat seize natin bawat opportunity na meron tayo to create good and happy memories with them para kung sakaling wala na sila sa buhay natin, in a way or another pag nag reminisce tayo masasayang ala-ala ang babalikan natin. Maikli lang ang buhay sa ngayon so there should be no room for bitterness. Memories are like precious gems kaya naman dapat natin itong ingatan dahil katulad nga ng mahahalagang bato pwede itong magbigay ng kasiyahan sa atin depende sa pananaw natin sa buhay. Minsan naman merong memories na sobrang sakit at nahihirapan tayong i let go ito na kahit sobrang sakit ng naidulot nito sa atin hindi natin magawang makalimutan. For me, okay lang naman kung di mo makakalimutan yun, ang importante kapag naalala mo ang masakit na memory na yun, maiisip mo yung lesson na natutunan mo dahil dun. My point is, maganda man o hindi ang isang memory wag pa rin nating kakalimutan ito dahil part na 'to ng buhay natin. Learn from bad memories and treasure na good ones.
Updates ni Readcash - A reflection
Howdy! Kumusta kayo diyan mga kaibigan. Mga subscribers at masipag na mga taga komento. Heto ako ngayon upang maghatid na naman ng bagong impormasyon. Siguro yung iba sainyo lalo na yung mga baguhan eh hindi pa informed sa bagong guidelines ng website tungkol sa pagpublish ng mga articles at sa pag post sa mga communities. Ako nabasa ko lang din yun kagabi kaya ngayon gusto kong ishare sainyo yung mga nabasa ko dun. So yun nga, kung napansin nyo lalo na yung mga medyo matagal tagal na ding user dito na araw araw padagdag ng padagdag ng bagong users and isa pa sa napansin ko padami rin ng padami ang mga communities. Kahit ano na lang. Habang parami ng parami ang nakakaalam tungkol sa platform na ito siyempre hindi na mawawala ang masasamang loob na suyang sumisira ng kalakaran dito. Nandyan yung mga spammers na paulit ulit lang ang mga comments, minsan di naman related sa article yung sinasabi, mema ang habol lang makakuha ng points. Meron din naamng mga high level na ang kaalaman at gumagawa ng bugs para lang makapandaya at makakuha ng maraming points. Nakakainis yun sa part ng mga users na talagang pinag sisikapang makagawa ng maayos na mg articles at pinapahalagahan ang website na to. Kadalasan kasi nasisira ang isa website or app dahil sa mga mapandayang gusto mabilisan ang kita. Pero kung pakakaisipin, hindi naman talaga madaling kumita ng pera. Kung sa trabaho kaylangan nating maging masipag at magpa sikat sa boss natin para sa mas magandang sahod at hindi rin naman natin agad agad na nakukuha ang sahod, merong after 15 days yung iba naman monthly saka makuha ang sahod. Kaya ang point ko kaylanga maging masipag at gawin natin na makakuha ng pera sa honest na paraan.
Balik tayo sa usapang update ng readcash, sa previous na article sinabi ko na para mas madaming makuhang points dapat ipublish natin sa mas maraming community ang article natin. Pero sa bagong guideline ni readcash hindi na daw yun pwede. Dapat ipublish mo ang isang specific article sa relevant na o nararapat na community. Halimbawa kung tungkol sa music ang article mo ipublish mo yun sa community lang na about music hindi dun sa bitcoin, nature or cooking community (Last na din 'to na magpopost ako sa maraming communities kaya pagbigyan na hehe) And I'm sure marami sa diyan (aminado ako na issa din ako sa gumagawa nito minsan) yung nagpa-publish ng mga article na puro mema lang. Yun bang wala namang sense, di mo maintindihan kung ano ba yung pinupunto basta ang importante makapagsulat ng mahabang article at makakuha ng points, well according sa new guidelines hindi na rin po yun pwede. Kaya oras na para pag isipan natin ng mabuti ang contents ng mga articles natin. Para sa akin okay nga yung bagong guidelines kasi mas mamomotivate tayo na pagandahin ang sinusulat natin at pag isipan ito at iwas na din sa mga mapandaya, yun bang makaka earn ka ng points in an honest way.
So yun lang naman. Comment kayo kung anong pananaw ninyo sa mga pagbabagong ito at kung may ibang points pa akong namiss imention para aware din yung iba.
Goodnight
So yun nga since mas nabasa akong article kanina na makakadami ka pala ng points kapag nagcocomment ka sa article ng iba, dun ako nag focus ngayon. Dahil nga ang daming nagcocomment sa mga napublish kong article kailangan ko din replyan isa-isa kasi siyempre one way na din naman yun para ipakita na naappreciate natin yung comment nila tsaka masama din maging snob. So yun halos nauubos na ang oras ko sa pagreply sa mga comments kaya naman konti na lang ang nababasa at nakocommentan ko na article ng iba. Pero ngayon nagsisikap ako na mas marami pang artikulo na sinulat ng iba ang mabasa ko at mabigyan na din ng comment. At oo totoo nga na maa dumadami ang points sa ganung sistema. Try nyonding gawin guys. Laking tulong siya promise. Kapag ginawa natin yan doable talaga ang $1 or more na payout sa loob lang ng isang araw. Sa ngayon dahil mag uumaga na at medyo madami na din ang nabigyan ko ng comment oras na para matulog at baka magmukha na kong panda neto bukas. Goodnight!
Look at the moon
Since I was a child I've always been fascinated with the moon. I remember that I was even amazed whenever I walk around while looking at it thinking that it was following me 😅 Nothing changed even though I'm an adult now. I'm still bewitched by the beauty of the sparkling full moon. Another wonderful thing about it is that I feel like it connects me with a distant loved one. Though we are thousands of kilometers apart the mere fact that we are looking at the same moon feels like we're just close to each other. But I'm a little bit sad how the moon dissappears when the sun comes, people are like that, they'll eventually disappear from your life once someone more important comes.
Anyone who loves the moon as well?
Boredom - Starter Packs
At dahil bored na bored ako sa mga oras na ito, naisipan kong magsulat na lang ng artikulo tungkol sa mga pinaggagawa ko kapag bored ako.
1. Alam nyo yung dinosaur sa gogle chrome? Yung dinosaur na lumulukso sa mga cactus at takot sa ibon. Haha makikita sa high score mo kung gaano ka kabored. Kapag mataas high score mo ibig sabihin bored na bored ka talaga. Okay naman siya, pag wala ka na talagang magawa maaaliw kang laruin to, maganda ding pampalipas ng oras habang naghihintay kang mag loading yung page na gusto mong iaccess.
2. Eto kung gusto mong medyo maaliw sa mga nakakatawa at minsan walang kwentang videos punta ka sa shareit. Hahahaha di mo na kailangan ng load o data para makapanood ng video.
3. At ito ang pinakamatindi. Kung strong ka at handa kang masaktan, magbasa ka na lang ng mga old convo ninyo. Masarap balikan yung mga panahong masaya pa kayong kachat ang isa't-isa. Pero masakit din sa puso dahil di mo alam kung maibabalik pa ba yung dati.
Kung sa tingin mo panget at walang kwenta ang article na to, di ka nag iisa hahahaha kahit ako na nagsusulat tingin ko wala din tong kwenta. Ipopost ko nga sana to sa facebook pero bigla kong naisip ang read cash kaya naisip ko, why not pagkakitaan ko na lang yung boredom ko.
Ikaw anong ginagawa mo kapag bored ka?
