September: Goals Are Awaiting To Be Achieved **January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August.** These are the months that already passed. Eight out of twelve months of the year span had already come to an end. In this months, we had faced many things, starting from *challenges to blessings* or *blessings to challenges*. In this months, we set goals even before each month ends and it was already in our culture to share it. We don't intent to brag, but to somehow inspire other people. To inspire and push them to also make a move for their goals to not be just a goals, but for those to turn into reality. Last August 01, I shared my goals for the month of August. And, after days, **31 days** to be specific, of grinding and moving and making an actions? I finally made some of those to happen. Wherein I shared it through my article yesterday, And, now? We're welcoming another month. But unlike the previous months, we're more excited for this coming month. Way more excited! Why? Because **"Ber Months"** are coming to townnnn. 🎶 The longest celebration of Christmas across the world has finally begun. Now, let's get back to my goals for this September. Finance my 21st birthday. It's one of my biggest goals for this year of 2021 to finance our family's birthdays. Starting from Mama's 37th birthday last June 05, Papa's 42nd birthday by the next day, my younger sister's 11th birthday by last July 20, and will follow by my 21st birthday and my younger brother's 18th birthday on October 21. It was a success for Mama, Papa, and my sister's birthdays. I was able to give them a simple yet so happy birthday celebration. Especially on my sister's birthday, she wasn't expecting a celebration because we we're teasing her that she won't have a presents. For this month, I am not financing our family member's birthday. I am gonna finance my own birthday. And, because of read.cash's help? I was able to save some for it. I just hope that I won't need to set it aside, again. Though, I am very much willing to do it, if I really need to. ❤ Even though I already saved some amount for it, there were still some things that will challenge me to hold it until my birthday comes. *crossed fingers* Celebrate my 21st birthday. For this month, this will be my **biggest goal**. Not just to simply celebrate it. But, to celebrate it more happier, full of enjoyment, simple, and more blessed. <3 Aside from that, I am also aiming to spoil myself with the things that I want to have. Just a simple way to treat myself for a **"job-well done!"** Hoping that I can do this one. You know me, I am always prioritizing *our needs before anything else*. But, I'm really eager to show myself some loving. So, I will do my very best to achieve this one. **Hashtag Self-Love.** Earn at least; **(A) 0.2 BCH in noise.cash.** Like the previous month, I will still try my best to reach this amounts. Since that I wasn't able to reach my target noise.cash earnings last August, I decided to lower it. Still considering some factors such as the algorithm, my busy schedule in my academics, and my responsibilities as a student, daughter, big sister, and a tutor. **(B) 0.1 BCH in read.cash.** Because it was a success for me to achieve my target read.cash earnings last month, I was feeling more determined and eager to have it again by this month. It was indeed true that our achievements will inspire us more to do even better, next time. So, I'm gonna give it a shot again. Let's see if I can still achieve if, for the second time. 💛 Remember what I had said in my previous article, **"don't expect for too much."** And, I will still apply it on this certain goal of mine. As well as the other goals. To avoid feeling disappointment in the end. :) Publish 10 articles this month. Since that I didn't accomplished the **one article a day** or even the **25 articles goal** last month? Let's set it downer. *Downer? Does this word even exists?* 😅 Thinking of many factors that might possibly hold me from doing this? Like the school requirements that I need to comply and me being my siblings self-proclaimed teacher and a tutor, at the very same time? Instead of **30** or **25** articles for this month of September? I will just aim for **10 articles**. If I can write more than this number, it will be more better.🥰 Start saving for lil bro's 18th birthday. Among the five of us in our family, I and my younger brother's birthdays was just coming by this month and next month. I already had mentioned for many times that his birthday will be by October 21st. Like what I said, I am planning to finance our birthdays including my brother's. By that time, he will turn 18. And, for me to be able to throw a simple yet happy birthday celebration for him? I will start saving by this month. Where will I get such amount to be spent? Through my read.cash earnings, too. This month will be more tougher. Why? Because I need to finance my birthday and saving for his birthday, at the same time. Not mentioning some of our needs at home and in our studies. But, because He and you, guys are here to support and help me by just some clicks and typing? I can do it! **I can and I will. 💕** Start saving for Christmas ($1 A Day Challenge). Are you already hearing some Christmas songs? Are you already feeling the vibes brought by the Christmas? Are you excited for Noche Buena, the night that we can eat anything that was served in our table? I know your answers, it's a **yes** and it will always be a **yes**. Am I right? :) Last year, I was able to save some of my tutorial earnings and scholarship allowance for the first semester for Academic Year 2020-2021. From that, I had helped our parents in serving some foods for Noche Buena. As far as I can remember, I was able to served a creamy Crema de fruta, packs of hotdogs and barbeques, some fruits, and beverages on our table. Aside from that, I also had bought some gifts to our family. Mostly are clothing. *All thanks to my scholarship allowance and tutorial earnings. ❣* And, for this coming Christmas? I am planning to have it with BCH with the help of both noise.cash and read.cash. And, I will make it happen by starting to save. I will do it through **$1 A Day Challenge**. I will save $1 a day from my noise.cash earnings and will hold it in my bitcoin.com wallet. And, I will start it today. Yes, today. I will do it for a duration of three months and until December 20. Overall, I have a total of **111 days** to save. If I will be able to accomplish it every day and won't miss even a single day? I can save around $111, depends on the trends in the market. Well, hoping that we'll get a lot of greens by this months. If I will have this amount, I can be able to give our happily not just a more merrier Christmas, but also a blessed New Year with gifts. HOPINGGGG! <3 Start doing my Thesis Outline. I am on my third year in college this Academic Year. Wherein the main focus or highlight is to train us even more, aligned to our major and specialization. This time, I need to start with my thesis. Which I believe will be the basis if I (we) will graduate on time or nah. Well, I am not aiming on the latter. So, for me to be able to get near to my goals? I need to start moving my a*s out. Foirst and foremost, I am aiming to consult a thesis title to my Thesis Adviser. Actually, I already have an idea since last semester. I will just improve it and consult to my adviser, afterwards. Then, I will still plan for the rest. *Kuya* @Eunoia *, beke nemen! 🙈😁* For this goal, I am aiming more on the progress! So, let's get it on, self. **PADAYON, FUTURE AGRICULTURIST! 👩🏻‍🌾** **PADAYON, FUTURE PLANT DOCTOR! 👩🏻‍🔬** 1 BCH! <3 Right now, I am getting nearer to having a **one bitcoin cash**. So, it makes me more inspired to have it, any time by now. I am not in a hurry but I am aiming to have it before the BCH price hits $1K again. So, that I can enjoy it more and for me to be able to make my goals turn into reality. 🚀 Again, I will not expect for too much, again. Remember, **unexpected things happens when we least expect it. <3** Well, that's all for my goals. :) Like before, I will just set it and leave it for days. I will just set it then worry less, on the following days. How about you? Have you already set your goals for this month? Come and share it to us. And, let's inspire and push each other to do more grinds. Good luck to us in achieving our goals. Let's keep on grinding but do not drain ourselves, too much. Remember, "Health is our real wealth." ❤ For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by September 01, 2021`

@imanagrcltrst 31 August 2021

How My AuGoals Goes? Hello, hello, helloooo! :) After days, **4 days** to be specific, of not being able to write even a single article, here I am now. Starting to compose my article by exactly **11:56AM**. It is already normal for us to share our monthly goals by the first day of each months. How are we sharing it? Through our **articles**. It seems like yesterday was just August 01, wherein I am typing the goals that I want to achieve or accomplish for this month. And, it was indeed a "time flies so fast" because we're already in the last day of the month, by now. What's the difference of our goals-centered articles on the first day of the month and on the last day? **On the first day,** we are sharing the goals that we want to achieve for this whole duration of the month. **On the last day,** we are sharing the goals that we had already achieved or accomplished. As our ***"naka-ugalian"*** or culture***,*** here we are again. Will share our goals, but not like on the first day. This day, we are gonna share the goals that we had already achieved. First and foremost, I will first share the list of my goals for August. **And, here it is:** AUGUST GOALS Now, let's find out if what goals had I achieved. Or if there is even one that I had unlocked for this month? *Seems like most are unaccomplished eh. 🤣* Start saving for my 21st birthday. For this year of 2021, I am aiming on financing the birthdays of our family including Papa and Mama's, my younger brother and sister's birthdays. And, most of all? **My 21st birthday this coming September 25.** Just like what I had stated on my **August: Another Set of Target Goals** article, *"I will buy myself more birthday presents this time."* https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/august-another-set-of-target-goals-eaf9590e I set a budget of one thousand to one thousand five hundred pesos (PhP 1000-1500.00) or about $10-$15 for my birthday spending. But, *how will I be able to do this? How can I buy myself a birthday presents? Where will I get such money to make it happen?* These are just some of the questions that are running in my mind about this goal of mine. As I said before, the ones that I will use for this will be coming from my read.cash earnings for this month. On the first 11 days of the month, I already had reach an earning amounting of **almost $66 or 0.1 BCH**. I was so overwhelmed that I can reach that amount in just this duration of time. But, I need to set it aside first. Why? We need these numbers for our needs. I want to help our parents because they are running out of budget. So, I decided to use this earnings first for our needs and will just work again to save for my birthday. But, again, I set it aside again for the second time. And, now? I finally had be able to save for my birthday presents. My read.cash earnings from August 19-30 amounting of **0.045 BCH** was already sent to my coins.ph wallet by this morning. And since that we are into a red market by now, I will just wait for it to turn green and soar high again then I will convert it into fiat. **GOOD JOB, SELF!** Let's spoil yourself on your birthday. You deserved it so so much! <3 Earn at least; **(A) 0.4 BCH in Noise.cash** Last month of July, I had accumulated **0.27 BCH**. That's my first time to earn this high amount of numbers in just a month, yes. In just a month. I didn't expect it because I was just aiming for a thousand to one thousand five hundred pesos of earnings in noise.cash, but He was indeed so good. ❣ Because of that, I was became even more inspired to thrive and to do better. And so, I set my BCH target more higher. Though I was already aware that I might possibly not be able to reach it, I just want to challenge or motivate myself even more. Like many of us in noise.cash, I also had encountered to have a **zero ($0) in some of my posts**. But, I just let it be and just continue what I am doing. And, now? Look! I didn't reached my target 0.4 BCH but I got **0.34 BCH in my e-wallet**. It's already big, so why complain or be sad? :) I kept in my mind even before I did my list of my August Goals to expect least, and here I am now. Not minding if I hadn't reached my supposedly target amount. *It's more relieving to do not expect for much. 💕* *Just a piece of advise:* `Do not expect, too much. It will prevent us to be disappointed or sad when we didn't be able to get nor achieve what we want to have.` As of now, I am already hodling more than **0.6 BCH**. But, I am planning to convert the 0.05383079 BCH into fiat and cashout it afterwards. Why? For what? For our needs. I've been thinking about it for so long and now, I already made up my mind. For the month of September, I will start with my 0.6 BCH in my e-wallet and will strive again. **(B) 0.1 BCH in read.cash** Days before I wrote my article featuring my goals for the month of August, I already had planned to earn 0.1 BCH in read.cash, alone. Why and how? Not because I want to save some for my birthday, well it's the second reason. The main reason, **it's Rusty**. Because of his visitations, I became more motivated and inspired to keep goin' and write more. And, I want to prove to myself that his visits was worth it to have by me. And, so I write as often as I can. And, the 0.1 BCH that I am aiming for? I got it on my 11th day in read.cash for the month of August. Wieee! It was supposedly for my birthday, but I decided to withdraw it and use it for our needs. And, like I usually say? *It's so worth it to spent for the family, especially to our needs.* **On my first withdrawal,** I had a total of three thousand pesos and three hundred (PhP 3,300.00) and I used it for buying our groceries, other essential like boxes of face masks, our meals, a fifteen kilos of rice, and some snacks for days. Aside from that, I and my younger sister had our haircuts through my read.cash earning. Sounds great, right? Right. 😉 For the second time, I withdrawn again. For what? I and Mama will be going to the City Proper to enroll my younger brother and because the money in my wallet was just around ninety pesos or less than $2, I decided to pinch some again. So that we can use some on our errand. **On my second withdrawal,** I got an amount of one thousand two hundred and thirteen pesos (PhP 1,213.00). I withdrawn the PhP 1,000.00 and saved the remaining ones for my load for two weeks. This amount was used for Papa's gas, some bathroom essentials, snacks, and our meals for lunch and dinner on that same day. Because I want to have some remembrance on my hard works, I bought **two lip and cheek gel tints** on different shades. I am using it for my videos for school and whenever I have some errands. On the duration of August 01 to 11, I got more than **0.1 BCH**. **0.037** by August 13-18 and **0.045 BCH** on the remaining days. Overall, I got 0.18 BCH. Even though I didn't hold it for too long because of my will to spent it for our family needs? I am still happy that I surpassed my target BCH earnings in read.cash. SO SO HAPPY! 🥰 Reach 0.8 BCH. When the month of August has ended, I had 0.3 in my BCH wallet. And, this motivates me to reach higher number which is **0.8 BCH** which will make me more near in achieving 1BCH. Well, I do believe that it's not a race but the eagerness that I am feeling to finally reach this? It's overflowing. And, so I tried. I tried to reach it, even though I am aware by myself that it's not gonna be that easy. But it will be, as long as I have the determination, dedication, the will, and the patience. But, I had encountered some things that challenged me in achieving this goals of mine. What are those? ***Our family needs*** and that ***we don't have electricity for almost twelve days*** (August 19-30). Nonetheless, even though I hadn't achieved it. I am still happy because I got to surpass the half of 1BCH. By August 14, 2021, I alreaady got 0.5 BCH and after ten days, I finally got 0.6 BCH by August 24. I didn't reached my target 0.8 BCH for this month, but I still managed to earn bigger than what I had expected. 💛 *Let's just grind more next month, self! :)* Publish 25 articles this month. Last July 27, 2021, I had marked it up in both of my calendar and in my mind. Why? What happened in that day? **Rusty had visited and noticed me, for the very first time.** And this encouraged and inspired me to write more articles than I used to be. From then on, I am looking forward to write and publish an article every day. Yes, every day. So, I decided to finally start it and my first move was to include it on my monthly goals. But, because I am considering so many factors that might affect me to not be able to achieve this certain goal? Such as my classes that will start this month and some things? I just decided to at least publish 25 articles for the 31 days of this month. **Have I achieved it?** No, na-da, hindi. I hadn't achieved it. Instead of having 25 articles, I just got to published sixteen articles including this one. Yes, sixteen. As in 1 and 6, **16.** And, this sixteen articles are as follows: Here they are.

Even I, myself hadn't expect this. I just want to have some savings for my coming birthday and to prove to myself that I am worthy of Rusty's generosity, but I got this. Because of this numbers, I was able to support some of our needs in the house and in our studies. I feel so much blessed! SO MUCH. Enroll myself for first semester of A.Y. 2021-2022. On the 6th day of August, it was our college's schedule for the enrollment for first semester in this another Academic Year. I woke up by 2:00 in the morning, so that I can enroll more earlier and to avoid the possible technical problems. But, no. Because of the new site that we used, I encountered so many problems resulting for me to worry and stressed myself out. Nevertheless, I still managed to enroll on that same day. All thanks to one of my very close friends that helped me to be enrolled. Now, we are already on our third week of classes. Arrange requirements for lil bro's Balik-Aral. Enroll lil sis and lil bro. Arranging the requirements for my younger brother's Balik-Aral was also connected to this goal, which was to enroll him and my younger sister. On the 24th day of August, I finally got to enroll my brother. He will be a returning Grade 9 student in the National High School here in our city. On the very same day, I also decided to enroll my younger sister. It was just on the way to our home, so why not do it on that day? *Para 'di na pabalik-balik ba. Haha!* After I filled out the form, I dropped it immediately on the drop-box on her school. Now, they are finally enrolled. I will just wait for further announcement or message about their sections. **JOB-WELL DONE, SELF! <3** Renew my scholarship (1st semester) in; On the very same day wherein I enrolled my younger siblings, I also planned to pass the requirements for the scholarship renewal under our **Mayor's Scholarship Program**. After days of paying such an attention for the requirements and after days of waiting for my Certificate of Registration or Form 6? I finally did passed it, before the deadline comes in. In terms of my **VBBSP renewal**? I hadn't still renewed it. Why? There was still no announcements or update from our Officer-In-Charge (OIC). Since that the requirements was already prepared, I will just wait for updates and after I got some, I will submit it immediately. Decorate our DIY room wall. Start buying tools for our small baking business. This two was still left hanging. I guess, I will just set it aside first because I need more things to do and to saved for. But, I will still do my best to make it happen. Especially the last one, it's Papa's dream so will do my best to help him make it happen. <3 To answer the title of my article which is **"How My AuGoals Goes?"** For me, it still goes so well and great. Even though I wasn't able to accomplish and achieve some of my goals? It's still okay. I did my very best and what's important is that I did some moves to make this month a fruitful nd profitable one. And, for it to not be just a month. Before I end this article, I just want to congratulate us for a job-well done and for making this whole month full of progress. ❤ For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 31, 2021`

@imanagrcltrst 26 August 2021

Seven Nights In The Dark Hello, hello, hellooooo! :) It's been three days of not being able to publish nor even write an article. I am so busy with my studies, with life and responsibilities, and a problem had just came knocking on our doors and made a disaster inside the house. Hahaha! XD But, now? I am not that busy and can manage my time and battery, so I decided to make a comeback. Kidding! 🤣 On the day of **August 19, 2021**, Thursday, I along with my Mama and Papa woke up more earlier than we supposed to be. Why? Because we have some important errands to go with. We go to my second house when I was in secondary school to enroll my younger brother on the Balik-Aral Program. `Balik-Aral Program are meant for the students that dropped-out or stopped from studying for a year or two or more. If they already want to go back to school and study again, this is suited for them.` I woke up more earlier too and started to do household chores around 7:30 in the morning. I also remember myself as a determined-multitasker because while having a virtual orientation for our major field, I was taking a bath too. 🤣 So, minutes after and we just arrived at the school. We headed back to the Administration Building because the one that's handling Balik-Aral students are from the Guidance Office. But, their office was transferred to the Old Museum of Social Studies. So, yeah. Mama was having a tantrums about it. Well, sorry, Mama. I wasn't able to go here for two year so I doesn't know. Hahaha! Back to the story, we wasn't able to finish the inquiries and enrolling process because staff of the Records Section will just look for bro's school card and we are just instructed to go by Monday. I will just about to get inside to our family vehicle when I received a message from my Aunt, saying that our electricity was cut by the authorities (in short, naputulan kami). Why? Because we hadn't pay our two months bill of electricity. So, Mama was slowly being angry. Why? Because of what had happened. Why, again? Because of her irresponsible and self-caring siblings. She was allotting money for her share for the electric bill but how about her siblings? Especially her brothers. `Maybe some of you had already know some of our family issues, as I already shared some of it in some of my articles and posts in noise.cash. And, this problem of our's about electric bill was once featured in one of my previous published articles.` Maybe you would like to read this article to have a glimpse of our situation: **The Electrifying Electric Bill** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/the-electrifying-electric-bill-9e55621a And when we got home? What we saw are my siblings sweating, the appliances are turned off, and the excruciating and scorching heat from the inside of the house. It's burning hot from the outside and even inside the house. Now, let me share some of our experiences in the days and nights of not having electricity. Overall, we were already on our seventh day in the extreme heat and about to eighth night in the dark. SEVEN NIGHTS IN THE DARK! First night in the dark. **August 19, 2021.** Our day goes by so smoothly, not until a message pops up in my phone's screen. A message containing a bad news that our electricity was cut-off. On the afternoon of this day, it was so difficult. It was so hot, so so hot. My phone was running-out of battery because I used it for our virtual orientation. So when we got home, I asked Mama to bring to bring my phone to Ate Iste's house. She's a very close relative and was single for over forty six years. We don't know what to do, we don't know if the electricity will be paid off by this day. Until, the darkness was near to come. The only option that we have that time, is to bear with it. And, so we did. Night came. By 6:00PM, Papa get my phone from Ate Iste's house. Before it gets dark, our rice was already cooked. Before, when we still have lights, I used to cook our rice in the rice cooker but not now because I need to cook it on the stove. It was so difficult for us to eat our dinner on the dark, with just a candle giving us some amount of light. Good thing that it rained, even though it was so hot from morning to afternoon. Seems like the weather was going on the flow with us. *Nakikisama ba.* Around 8:30 in the evening, we were already lying on the bed. So far from what we used to be before which was we were just eating our dinner by this time. It's so hard and seems like my heart were being crumpled as I watched my younger siblings and our parents eating in the dark. The first night was followed by another one .... until a night became nights. *One night became seven nights.* Second night in the dark. Third night in the dark. Fourth night in the dark. Fifth night in the dark. Sixth night in the dark. Seventh night in the dark. Our situation now was indeed a very difficult one. Imagine, the weather during day-time was so intense as the heat and humidity was so heightened. The truth is that it's not that difficult during night-time, because all that we need to do by that time are to cook our meals, eat, fix the plates, arrange the bed, and sleep. We are used to sleep with the lights turned off, but not with our electric fans turned off. Our first five nights (Thursday night to Monday night) was so great and our sleep went so fine because it rain, making it more easy to have our sleeps because it's not hot. But, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday? The heat of the morning stayed until the night. No rain to poured down, but just a pure nights filled with heat. But, during day-time? It's indeed so hard to deal with. To divert our attentions? We were just engaging in household chores and other activities such as gardening, movie watching, and more. As of me? I was just diverting my attention through doing my school works, doing random stuffs, and making some noises in noise.cash and read.cash. Yes, it wasn't that difficult during night because we can endure it. But, I know that my parents were thinking about this matter. How would I know? I can feel their silence in the dark but their thoughts was speaking so loud. *So loud that even my own mind were hearing it.* *So loud that it seems like all of my nerves and tissues were feeling their over ranging thoughts.* I can feel them being problematic because of their silence. I can feel their worries because of their zipped mouth but opened thoughts. I can hear the overflowing questions in their minds, loud and clear, even though they didn't utter it vocally. How hard it is for me? As a daughter, it was so hard for me to do household chores. Yes, I am sweating a little just by washing the dishes at the sink before. But, now? My sweats are flowing like a waterfalls. As a student, it's more harder for me. It's so difficult that I even asked myself, **"why just now? why not before?"** Because I already have classes now. I need to do many school works. Before I can even take an hour or two or three or even four of afternoon naps. If I felt like my brain was being drained from working and working for my activities? I can take a nap and sleep, anytime that I want to. And, I will just continue it by night. But, now? With this kind of situation that were up to? I can't. I need to start grinding more earlier than I used to be before. I need to finish one to two activities and submit it to our respective classrooms before the darkness filled in the surroundings. I need to because I will not be able to do it when the night came, because I don't have light. *What I just have is* ***darkness****.* Aside from that, I need to prevent my phone and laptop from being drained. Why? Because I was just charging it to Ate Iste's house. Yes, it's okay to her but as time passes by? I am feeling shy, little by little. There is a time when Papa were saying that we should just wash our clothes on Ate Iste's house, seems like he was saying that we shouldn't use electricity anymore once that we got it back. I was just silent but as minutes passed by that he keeps on saying it, again and again? My ears seems to be annoyed. And, so I broke my silence and said, **"how about me? how about my gadgets?"** And, he said that I should just charge it to Ate Iste's house. I answered him with another question, **"how about my studies? Ganito na lang ba?"** I was pissed, yes. Because it sounds so selfish, for me. I am not worried on how our current situation will affect my social life. What I am worried about is that it might affect my studies if it will take more longer, that I wished it wouldn't. And, just like what I said on my previous post in noise.cash? **"I am a goal-digger and not a stress-digger."** So for me to not be stressed with this problem? I am just diverting myself on many things. Such as this things: I am using my free time on how to use beauty products more better. Not for me to use it in every day life, but for me on how to learn it so that I can use it when times that I need to wear make-ups and things for my face. I along with Mama, used one of our days to enroll my younger brother as a returning Grade 9 student. After that and before heading back at home, we stopped and dropped at my younger sister's school (just in our community) to enroll her for the coming School Year 2021-2022. After filling up a form and dropping it on the drop-box, I succeed on enrolling her for her last year in primary school, Grade 6. I also get her things to her homeroom adviser, so that I can make some *tipidity* ways. On the next day, Wednesday, I used near half of the day by sewing her previous notebooks so that I can spend lesser for their notebooks. I just did a *tipidity* way and used some hours of diversification. Aside from this things, I am also doing some tutorials. Through this activities, my attention was being diverted away from this stressful problem. But as I said, I am not a stress-digger. It's not because of us that we are into this situation, so why should we stress ourselves, right? Let them be. Also, I don't want this problem to stop me from being profitable. So, instead of ranting in Facebook or ranting verbally here in the house? I just used this as an opportunity to write an article, which is the **Umuusad nga ba?****.** Seems like I hit two birds with only one stone. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/umuusad-nga-ba-d15bb66e "I let out all of my rants and thought and I earned, too." Yesterday, Mama's younger sister said that her husband will pay for the shares of their two brothers when his salary was released and sent to his bank account by maybe by Friday, so that we can get the electricity back. I just hope that it will come true and was not just with words. <3 **We're getting used to it but still, we need electricity.** Yes, it's kinda problematic but I am just looking on the brighter side which was it can help me, us to be more stronger in life. Remember, "Life experiences will make us more stronger, so do the problems." We will have it back, we just need to be more optimistic and patient. **Hold on tight, fam! We'll see the light, soonest. ❤** Thank you for reading. It's just about our experiences during the dark nights, hope you like it. :) Thank you for the support, guys! You rock. ❤ For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 26, 2021`

@imanagrcltrst 22 August 2021

Am I Wasting My 20s? First of all, this article was inspired by the first article that I had read for the day of August 14. I was so busy with life that I hadn't started reading articles more earlier than I planned for that same day. And this article is the **Don't Waste Your 20s!** of none other than our very own Ate @Eirolfeam2 . Thanks for giving me another idea on what article to write as my ideas this this past few days seems to evaporate like a bubbles in the air. Haha! https://read.cash/@Eirolfeam2/dont-waste-your-20s-d35d2165 This article was entitled as "**Am I Wasting My 20s?**" Which was basically answerable by only two, the Yes Or No. On the title itself, we can have our fare shares of thoughts. In the two amazing platforms that we're currently being fascinated about (noise.cash and read.cash), I guess most of us are still on our 20s or maybe even younger than this. I also encountered and interact with lots of teens here, like @kingofreview. And, I also know that we all have our own dreams and set of goals that we want to achieve in life. Regardless of our age. Either ways, oldies used to tell the young ones to **"start saving and investing while we are still young."** Start grinding and working and saving and investing and building a more better life for the future. Because once that we get older and started to have our own family? It'll be more difficult and hard to do. I also remember one of my Professor when I was still in my first year in college. Let's just call her **Doctora Barroga**, who is one of the Chairwoman in one of the departments in our college. Like any other of our professors and instructors, she used to encourage us to sell in the classroom. Her reason? "*Mas maganda nang kayo ang kumita kaysa ang college cafeteria natin."* Though, it was just a joke. So, one of my block mates started to sell candies and sweets. She will allot 10 minutes for this selling and buying before we start the formal discussions of our lessons. All the products to be sold was just in the middle of the lecture room's aisle. Anyone are free to get and will just leave the payment on the chair. And, in this move of her? My block mate can earn while studying. But wanna know her real reason why she let us do this? **She wants to help my block mates who was having a hard time to have their daily allowance.** As simple as that. She is also the one who really motivates me to start saving while I am still studying. How? Because of this words of her ... **"Start saving money now and don't wait for you to graduate on college and have a regular work to start doing it."** That time? It seems like my inner spirit was awaken. Awakened to start investing and saving. Awakened to be more serious and *madiskarte* in life. Back to the topic, I am already in my 20s and will turn 21 this coming September 25. I am having little achievements in life but upon reading this article of Ate Eirolfeam 2? I started asking myself, "**Am I Wasting My 20s? Yes or No?"** and here's my answer. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NOOOOOOO!! Yes, maybe I am not yet successful in my age but I am doing my best to be one. Yes, maybe my achievements weren't that big like those achievements of other people in my age but I am already in the process. Let's start talking about my little achievements when I was still in my 19s. **In the age of 19,** I already had bought my laptop and a phone with my own money. I can already provide some of my daily school allowance. I can already pay my school expenses. Thanks to my little savings and to my scholarship allowance. *And when I reach my 20s? Here, let's discuss some of it.* **In the age of 20**, I can already help in providing our needs in the family. I can buy our groceries for two to three weeks consumption. I can now buy as a cavan of milled rice every two months that I can't do before. In this age, I already had been calling myself as a self-proclaimed teacher. When my phone broke? I bought another one, from my scholarship allowance again. I also had payed more than half a year for Papa's motor starting from the month of February and now we just need to pay the remaining four months which I was already planning to pay another two months when I got my allowance for Midterm Summer Class. In addition, I also had bought us second-hand television. And, my greatest achievements for this age? Is the fact that I can already support my and my sibling's studies without asking our parent's for some pennies. It's not easy and will never be easy but, I know that I can do it! <3 I know it wasn't that big but as long as I can help in providing some foods to our plates? Supporting our studies? And other needs? IT'S ALREADY GIGANTIC, FOR ME. :) And, here's how I planned my next years to be added on my age: **In the age of 21,** I am planning to have our own electric circuit and on buying a printer from my own money. Also, I am already planning to apply for a Certificate of Agricultural Science. It's a certificate that we'll apply for so that when we don't want to pursue the remaining two years in college, we can start looking for a job connected to our degree. **In the age of 22,** this is the age wherein I supposedly graduate in college. Supposedly, because I am not sure if I will graduate on time or nah. But, I will do my very best to graduate by this age. So that I won't be late in the opportunities waiting for me below the stage of the Graduation Site. In addition, I am also planning to buy our own lot after or before I graduate in college. Also, I should already have enough savings for the expenses that I need for the board examination that I will take months after I graduate. **In the age of 23,** I will start reviewing for the Licensure Examination for Agriculture (LEA). I am not looking for me as the Topnatcher for the board examination, but if I will be blessed by that? Who would I be to say no? *Storytelling* The last time that the topnatcher for the LEA 2019 was from our university? The university gave her a hundred thousand gift. Indeed a huge amount, right? Omooo. And, that topnatcher was really a genius, no wonder that he topped that board exam. **In the age of 24,** I am imagining myself while shouting while seeing my name on the list of LEA Passers. In short, being a Licensed Agriculturist. Also, to start our own baking business. Not just in our house, but inside a shop. **In the age of 25,** working as a researcher or plant pathologist in my dream working place, the Philippine Rice Research Institute or PhilRice. Or working as an instructor to my beloved Alma Mater. **In the age of 26,** have our own house and start having our own peaceful life as a family. **In the age of 27,** start studying for my Masteral's Degree. I still don't know what field and specialization to get as I was still on my third year of college by now. We''ll get there, in no time. :) If I want to be regular, I need to get my Masteral's degree. **In the age of 28,** buy a one-hectare land for my dream farm. As an aspiring Agriculturist, all of us wants to have our own agricultural business and build our name in the field of agriculture. In fact, I already have a type of business to start. It's just that I still don't have the land and the capital, but we'll get there. :) **In the age of 29,** I am looking for my younger brother to finish his studies until college. I am just hoping that he won't not stop, again. My younger sister will maybe finish her studies when I am already in my 30s. She will just be on her last year in primary school eh. **Marrying?** It was not yet in my mind. I was still focused on achieving my dreams for myself and our family. *Boyfriend nga wala ako eh. Pero malay natin, nandiyan na s'ya sa malapit. Or baka kasama ko na sa section. Kidding. 🤣* But, I can feel that there's someone meant to me. Maybe God was just letting me to have my dreams come true before He let me know him. <3 **Having my own flesh and blood?** There are many of my batch mates and classmates in primary and secondary years that already have their own babies. But, me? I am still here. Single and free. Yes, I also want to have my own child. It will make me a complete woman that time. It's just that I want to make my life more stable first, especially financially. I don't want her or him to experienced the hardships that I and my family were having right now. I want them to have a more better life than what I have. And, yeah. This is what I want to achieve in my 20s and how I planned it to be. But, take note. It's just my plans, who knows? Maybe God's plans are better than my plans. ❤ To answer my question, "**Am I Wasting My 20s?**" My answer is **no** and will remain as a **no**, as time passed by. Why? Because as long as I am making a move to make all my dreams and goals happens? As long as I can do something to help our family and our life to move forward and have a better life? I am not wasting my 20s and even my life. Before I end this article, I just want to say this words: **"Don't just make a plans. Make a move."** "Don't rush. It's not a race." -imanagrcltrst, 2021.

@imanagrcltrst 20 August 2021

Umuusad nga ba? Lahat tayo ay may mga pangarap at mithiin na nais maabot at matupad. Nagsisimula sa mga simpleng kagustuhan na magkaroon ng masasarap na pagkain na nakahain sa ating mga lamesa at makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Hanggang sa matataas na pangarap katulad nang makabili ng sariling lupa, makapagpatayo ng sariling bahay na masasabi nating sa atin, mga sasakyan, negosyo, at iba pa. At higit sa lahat ay **maging matagumpay sa buhay**. Ako? Ano nga bang pangarap ko? Simple lang naman. *Makapagtapos ng pag-aaral.* *Makapasa sa board exam at maging lisensyadong Agrikulturista.* *Makabili ng lupa.* *Makapagpatayo ng sarili naming bahay.* *Maging financially stable.* *Magkaroon ng sarili kong pamilya.* *Maging masaya sa buhay.* Bilang pamilya, ano ba ang pangarap namin? Puwera sa pagkakaroon ng sariling bahay na nakatayo sa sarili naming lupa? Ito ang mga pangarap namin. *Maging mas masaya pa.* *Magkaroon ng tahimik na buhay.* *Magkaroon ng sarili naming buhay.* *Ang huwag nang mamroblema sa problema ng iba.* **At higit sa lahat?** "Makaalis dito sa lugar na ito." Simple lang naman ang mga iyan. **Simpleng sabihin pero mahirap gawin.** Lahat tayo ay gumagawa ng mga hakbang para sa ating mga pangarap. Trabaho dito. Trabaho doon. Pero wala sa atin ang may alam kung ano ba ang mga naghihintay sa atin sa dulo. Walang may alam kung anong klaseng buhay ang naghihintay sa atin sa hinaharap. Oo, nai-imagine natin ang magiging buhay natin. Masaya at successful, hindi ba? Pero lahat tayo? Lahat tayo ay 'di sigurado. Lahat sa hinaharap natin ay malabo pa. Katulad nang nasa litrato sa ibaba. May nakikita tayong liwanag sa dulo pero alam natin na mahirap maabot iyon. 'Di natin alam kung ano pang mga pagsubok ang naghihintay sa atin sa daan papunta sa tagumpay. Pero isa lang ang sigurado, ang bawat mga hakbang natin ay nakatutulong upang mas maging malapit tayo sa pag-abot ng tagumpay. Sa mga nakalipas na mga tao o dekada, ang buhay namin ay 'di nalalayo sa buhay ng karamihan. Kailangang maghanap-buhay at magbanat ng buto nila Ama at Ina para may makain kami at para maibigay ang mga pangangailangan namin bilang isang pamilya. Mula nang magpakasal sila hanggang sa dalhin na kami ni Ina sa kaniyang nasa sinapupunan, iluwal at ipakilala kami sa mundo, at hanggang ngayon na malalaki na kami. Mahirap, oo. Puno ng mga pagsubok, oo. Pero kasama lahat ng iyan sa buhay kaya sige lang. Haharapin, kakayanin, at lalagpasan lahat para sa mga pangarap. Para sa mas magandang buhay. Paano? Magsikap. Magsikap. Magsikap. Magtrabaho. Magbanat ng mga buto. Kumayod. Ginagawa na namin ito sa loob ng maraming mga taon. Para nang sa ganoon ay umusad sa buhay at mapalapit nang mapalapit sa mga minimithing pangarap. Pero ang tanong ay ... **"Umuusad ba? Umuusad nga ba?"** Siguro hindi lang ako at ang pamilya namin ang tinatanong ito sa aming mga isipan. Alam ko na karamihan sa atin ay may ganitong katanungan na tumatakbo sa mga isipan. Napapaisip tayo kung, **"umuusad ba tayo? Bakit parang hindi naman yata?"** Bakit? Bakit natin ito naiisip? Dahil sa 'di matapos-tapos at 'di maubos-ubos na mga pagsubok at problema. Pero 'wag susuko, dahil ang pagsuko ay nasa pamimilian lamang. Pamimilian na 'di dapat piliin. Ang pamilya namin ay isa din sa mga bilyon-bilyong pamilya na dumaranas ng hirap. Pero 'di kami nagpapasakop sa mga problema at hirap na ito. Sa halip ay mas pinapatatag pa namin ang aming mga sarili at mas nagsusumikap pa. Sa paanong paraan? Sila Ama at Ina .... *Si Ama bilang "Haligi ng Tahanan."* *Si Ina bilang "Ilaw ng Tahanan."* Si Ama ay mahigit dalawang dekadang nagtrabaho bilang isang panadero o iyong mga taga-gawa ng mga tinapay. Bago sila naging mag-asawa ni Ina ay naglalako na siya ng pandesal sakay ng kaniyang lumang bisekleta sa iba't ibang lugar dito sa amin, minsan nakakarating pa sa mga kalapit na bayan para maglako. Hanggang sa napadpad siya dito sa aming barangay at nagtrabaho pa din bilang panadero. Sa trabahong ito, napagtapos niya ako ng High School. Natustusan niya din ang pag-aaral ng dalawa ko pang mga kapatid at nasuportahan ang mga pangangailangan namin mula sa pagkain hanggang sa damit at iba pang maliliit na luho tulad ng laruan at mumurahing cellphone. Si Ina na nagtrabaho bilang tindera sa panderya, kasambahay, at ngayon ay naglalabada. Sa ngayon ay naglalabada si Ina. Kuskos dito, piga doon. Sa nakalipas na mga buwan na walang permanente at regular na trabaho si Ama? Ang katas ng paglalabada ni Ina ang aming kinapitan. Oo, 'di malaki ang sahod dito pero nasusuportahan nila kami. At paunti-unti ay nakakaginhawa na sa buhay. Ako ... *Bilang anak.* *Bilang nakatatandang kapatid.* *Bilang estudyante.* *Ako bilang ako.* Ako ang panganay sa aming tatlong magkakapatid. Sa ngayon ay nag-aaral ako bilang kolehiyo. 'Di lang ako basta isang anak, kapatid din ako at isang mag-aaral. Sa murang edad namulat na ako na 'di madali ang buhay namin. Minsan na din kaming nasama sa mga pamilya na kung tawagin ay "*isang kahig, isang tuka.*" Lalo na noong magsimula ang pandemya. Ngunit ayoko nang basta maging anak, kapatid, at estudyante na lamang na naka-depende lamang sa mga magulang. Pagkatapos ng Moving Up noong Grade 10, nagsimula na din akong kumayod at makisabay sa agos ng buhay. Nagtrabaho sa munisipyo sa loob ng dalawang magkasunod na summer vacation para kahit paano ay masuportahan ang aking pag-aaral at ibang pangangailangan ng pamilya. Sa edad na disinuwebe ay nakapagtapos ako ng sekondarya at nagsimula sa buhay kolehiyo sa edad din na ito. Mas namulat pa sa buhay noong nagkasakit si Ama at 'di nakapagtrabaho ng halos anim na buwan. Nang pumutok ang pandemya, mas naging mahirap pa. Tila ba wala nang pag-asa pa na maka-usad kami. Sadlak kami bago pa magka-pandemya at mas nasadlak pa nang magsimula na ito. Kaya naman mas kumayod pa kami ni Ina. Dahil sa pagkakataon na ito ay mahina si Ama at dapat mas maging malakas kami ni Ina para sa aming pamilya. Tumanggap kami ng labada mula sa halos dose katao. Ang dami, hindi ba? Pero kinaya namin. Mahirap ang buhay namin pero dahil sa mga pagsusumikap namin ay paunti-unting nakakaginhawa na. **Tandaan na ...** "Sa buhay ay 'di puro semento ang aapakan natin papunta sa tagumpay. Kailangan din na lumusong sa putik ng mga pagsubok upang sa ganoon ay mas maging malakas at matibay pa." Si Pangalawa at si Bunso ... Si kapatid na lalaki ay disi-syete na sa ngayon. Malaki na at mulat na din sa buhay. Nahinto sa pag-aaral sa loob ng halos dalawang taon pero ngayon? Handa na ulit na makipag-sapalaran. At ito kami ni Ina at Ama, handa siyang tulungan. Si bunso? Onse anyos pa lamang pero unti-unti na din na nagkakaisip at mas namumulat na sa buhay. Dati ay napaka-isip bata pa pero ewan ba namin at tila ba nagma-matured na ngayon. Ngunit, sa edad nila na ito? Alam kong puno na din sila ng pangarap. Pangarap hindi lamang para sa kanilang mga sarili, kun'di ay para sa aming buong pamilya. Kaming lima bilang isang pamilya. Sa ngayon ay tila ba bumabalik kami sa umpisa ng pandemya. Dumadaan na naman sa mga pagsubok lalo na sa pinansyal na aspeto. Ang dating dose na pinaglalaba ni Mama? Naging isa na lang ngayon. May pasulpot-sulpot na tatlo pero sa loob ng halos tatlong linggo? 'Di pa sila nagpaparamdam ulit. Kaya naman tila sobra na namang mamomroblema si Ina. Pero ngayong kaya ko na din na kumita? Hahayaan ko ba naman na huminto kami sa daan? Hahayaan ko ba na masadlak na naman kami? Hahayaan ko ba na maranasan ulit namin na halos 'di kumain sa gabi? Hindi, hindi, hindi. Kaya naman kahit na alam kong mahihirapan ako na pagsabayin ang pag-aaral ng mga aralin ko at pagtuturo sa mga kapatid ko? Pipilitin ko pa din na isabay ang pagkayod. *Buti na lamang at may gusto pa din na magpa-tutor sa akin.* *Buti na lang at nandiyan sina noise.cash at read.cash.* *Buti na lang nandiyan kayo. Mga tao na handang tumulong kahit sa isang pindot lamang.* Ngunit, dadating talaga sa punto na matitigil ka sa dilim. Hindi dahil ayaw mo na, kun'di dahil sa ibang mga tao na nakapaligid sa iyo. Na kadalasan ay kung sino pang mga malalapit sa iyo ay sila pa ang hihila sa inyo. **Hihila sa mas malalim pa.** **Hihila sa dilim.** Katulad na lamang nang nangyayari sa amin. Nakakaginhawa na kami pero heto ang mga kamag-anak at ultimo mga kapatid ni Ina na tila ba hihilahin pa kami sa ibaba kasama nila. May mga problema kami sa buhay pero mas madami pa ang sa kanila. May sari-sarili nang pamilya pero sa iisang bahay pa din nakatira. Sa iisang kaldero pa din nag-sasaing. Buti na lamang at nakahiwalay kami kaya naman medyo okay pa. Ngunit, hindi eh. Ganoon pa din. Dahil ba nakakaginhawa na kami ay hihilahin ulit nila kami? Bakit ganoon? Ayoko niyon eh. At ito na nga, naranasan na naman naming kumain sa dilim. 'Di dahil may power interruption, kun'di dahil naputulan kami. May pambayad kami ng ambag namin pero pwede ba namang ibayad lang ang share namin? Hindi. At ito kami ngayon, sama-samang nagpapaypay sa araw at sa gabi. Dahil sa nangyayaring ito sa amin ngayon? Naitatanong ko na naman kung **"umuusad nga ba kami?"** Alam kong oo pero mukhang kailangan namin na huminto muna. Pansamantala. Pangako ko sa sarili ko na kapag mas nakaluwagluwag pa ako? O mas naka-ipon pa nang mas malaki? Isusunod ko naman 'yung pagpapakabit ng sarili naming kuntador. Kaya naman, Ama, Ina, at mga kapatid ko? Kaunting hintay na lamang at 'di na natin ulit mararansan na kumain sa dilim, hampasin ang mga balat natin dahil sa mga lamok na aali-aligid, at magpaypay nang magpaypay sa gabing napaka-init. Kaunting hintay pa. Kaunting hintay na lang. <3 Hanggang dito na lamang po. Sana ay nagustuhan ninyo ang sulatin kong ito. Kahit na sa tingin ko ay mas marami pa ng sabaw dito kaysa sa laman. Sana ay may napulot din kayong aral. Sana! Before I end this article, remember that ....

The Different Me In This Academic Year Hola to you, guysss! :) I'm back in writing again after a day of not being able to publish nor even write an article. For today's article, let's talk back the different kind of me during this Academic Year 2021-2022. Last Academic Year 2020-2021 started by October 05 instead of in June in primary and secondary level and around August in tertiary level. During the last Academic Year, the traditional face-to-face classes had gone and was not implemented because of the virus (*corona* virus) circulating around and causes a global pandemic. Because most of the learners are kids and youth which aren't allowed to go outside the house, the **remote learning** was implemented as a substitute to the face-to-face classes. We all thought that it won't go for so long but here we are now, in another Academic or School year and was still in a remote learning. Before it was just a substitute but months ago? It was already called as the **new normal**. Like many students out there, I do also found this new mode of learning so difficult and more stressful than the traditional mode. Yes, face-to-face was indeed hard to deal with. But, it's too far from what we have now. Way too far. Really far. Like many students out there, I also had experienced burnouts, stress, sickness, and many more negative effects on my health. Both physically and mentally. Among the three of us, I and my younger sister are just the two who still pursue the last Academic year. My younger brother dropped out from the school when I was just in my first year in college, 2019-2020. It's not because our parents can't make the three of us go in the school. But, because of personal reasons. To have an idea about it? *It's because of bullying.* To sum it up, I and my sister pursue our studies while my brother stopped. The last Academic Year was sooooooo difficult for me. Why? Because aside from my responsibilities as a daughter to our parents and as an older sister to my two younger siblings, I also need to do these things. **To teach my self.** **To teach my sister.** **To teach my tutees.** It's so hard. Because aside from teaching myself about my mountain-like lessons? I also need to teach my sister to her lessons and activities. Same to those students that I am tutoring, too. But, I still managed. I still managed to surpass all of those. And, I know that I still can. Now, let me discussed to you, guys the different "**ME"** in this another Academic Year. This is the different me in this Academic Year. I'm a student. Many of you here do knows that I am still studying as a college student, specifically a third year college student, who's taking up Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in one of the most known and prestigious university in Central Luzon, Philippines. Last Academic Year, I also did a major adjustments in terms of my studies. Before, there are Professors and instructors whose teaching me and guiding me along with my other block mates. But, when the remote learning or mostly known as *online classes* boomed? It changes everything. Now, I need to teach myself with my lessons and activities alone. I need to do my laboratory activities and practicals alone. In our community, I am the only one who's taking BS Agriculture because most of our neighbors who also took this course are already a graduates, so I don't have someone to do my activities with. I need to do it all alone. It's hard, yes. It's so exhausting, yes. But, I still managed. And, I need to do it over and over again in this another Academic Year. Our classes starts by August 16 but due to some problems, the dissemination of activities hadn't start by that time. But, it started yesterday, on our block. Another stressful year for me. Another set of mountain-like activities that I need to deal with. Another difficult lessons to learn by myself. Another year that I need to surpass to be able to step up to the next level. It will be more difficult because I will be focusing on my major and specialization. But it will be more difficult in this kind of learning. Supposedly, I should be staying inside a laboratory most of the time for this Academic Year but no. I will make and do it all inside my room. It'll be more harder by now but I was able to survive last year, so I believe that I can also do it now. **I will because I can. 💖** I'm a self-proclaimed teacher and a tutor. I mentioned in my previous articles that I will enroll my brother in the next Scfhool Year. Unlike before that I and my sister are the only ones to pursue our studies last year, now? **It'll be the three of us.** Last year, I am also the one to teach my younger sister. But, aside from her? I also do teach other students here in our community through tutorials. It was already difficult to teach myself and it became more difficult because I also need to teach my sister. But it became more harder and harder because I am also a tutor. And, it will be more and more and more difficult for this Academic Year. I will teach myself and my sister. And because I will enroll my brother? It will be the three of us that I need to teach. Well, aside from those younger students that will asked me to tutor them. You see? It's so hard to deal with. No, I am not complaining. I do enjoyed what I am doing but I just want to say that it's not easy. But what can I do? I need to do it. **I need to because:** *No one will teach me aside from myself.* *No one can teach my siblings because our parents can't do it, their learnings wasn't enough so I need to fill it in.* *I need to do tutorials because I need and I want to help our parents and family, financially. Also, to help other students learn, too.* By this time, I seemed to be like a teacher to myself and my siblings to the point that I've been calling myself as a **self-proclaimed teacher**. And, a tutor. <3 I'm a content creator. Like what I had said to one of my previous articles, **"I am a content creator."** And, that **"I do blogging."** You can read it here: **A Jobless Woman Before, Now A Content Creator!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/a-jobless-woman-before-now-a-content-creator-5d043ac3 Aside from just studying and teaching, I also want to continue being a content creator even when the classes starts. Maybe I will not be able to write everyday or more often because of my schedules, responsibilities, and activities. But, I will still do my best to do it. To include it on the things that I need to do. Because I know that it can really do help me in easing the stress that I am up to as a student, a big sister, and as a self-proclaimed teacher. Even if I am not a teacher to begin with. **To sum it all?** I am not just a helpful and a good daughter (Am I? HAHAHA!) to my parents because in this another Academic Year? I will be having a different ME. I am a student. I'm a self-proclaimed teacher and a tutor. I'm a content creator. This new mode of learning was difficult to all of us, to all the learners out there. Regardless of their age and level of intelligent. And, I just want to leave this words before I end this article. "It's difficult to be a learner of face-to-face classes but it's more difficult now. But, we can do this. Let's just help each other as long as we can and let's help ourselves, too. Do not think of giving up nor ending what we started because of this. Especially our lives. I am just here, we are here for each other."

The Fruits That I Harvested From My Hard Works In the field of Agriculture, **"fruits"** are one of the many commodities that farms can offer to us, which are known as the consumers. Those fruits varies in varieties, sizes, colors, and in weight. But, where does those fruits comes from? It's from the farms of many farmers out there. They harvested fruits from their farms which they grown from their overflowing dedication, love for their works as well as to the country and their fellowmen, and from their **hard works**. In Agriculture, the more hard works that the farmers gave to their love of art? **"The higher the yield that they can harvest."** Remember that Agriculture isn't just about cultivation because: "Agriculture is an art and science." All of us have our fare shares of hard works. No other human beings should question that because no one knows how hard we worked for our dreams and goals to be achieved. **No one but ourselves and Him, above.** From all our hard works, we can gain something. Either it be a success, luck, happiness, and many positive outcomes that the world can give to us. In this article, I would like to share some of the fruits that I harvested from all the hard works that I did. `Let's start with what I got from being a good student (Am I? HAHA!) when I am still in secondary level.` I graduated on time. Because I really dedicated my life to my studies in high school, I graduated on time. I wasn't left behind. I didn't became late to all the opportunities that I had by now. I don't need to double-time to achieve my dreams. I built a good image to my fellow students and teachers. As I became a good student, my former teachers do also believe in me. That I can reach all my dreams. That I won't do something that will affect my dreams in a negative way. Because of being a good student and a friend, it was so easy for me to ask a help for them upon my scholarship application, research, and many things. I got good grades. Grades? It's important to me and to most of us. Yes, it do not define who we are and who we will be but for me? It's one of the many things that can help me in the future. Because of being a good student, I harvested good grades. I graduated with High Honors. And, it helps me upon entering in college. In the application for a slot to my course when I am still a freshman student, grades matter. They set a GPA (aside from our ranking during the College Admission Test) to be included in the "300-students-per-year-quota" and be accepted in the course. And since that I met that GPA, I got in. Aside from this, I got my advantage on my scholarship application. They also have a grade requirement and because of my previous grades in high school, here I am now. Got a scholarship. And, this. This two are the highest harvests that I gain from all of my hard works in High School. **To have a financial support while pursuing my dream course.** `Next in line, the fruits of me being a striving college student.` I got a good grades. Just like when I am still in secondary level, I strived hard. For my studies. For the things that I have now and been valuing so much. And, look what I got because of this grades. I got another scholarship. And, this means me being able to help our family more. Yes, many students were saying that grades doesn't define what kind of person we are and will be. But, for us in college? It does. If we have a good grades in college, the people behind those companies that we'll be applying for will see us as a determined, compassionate, and hard working one. That we are suited for any position were applying for. And, this is another fruit for us being a striving student. To have a good grades and be more able to have a better job in the future. You can read this article of mine wherein I once featured my unlocked goal because of having a good grades: **Another Goal Unlocked: So Happy!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/another-goal-unlocked-so-happy-7843668a I maintained being a scholar. I am one of those many college students that are also a *scholar.* Being a scholar in college? It's not easy like counting 1, 2, 3. It's so hard. Why? Because we need to maintain it. We must maintain it. Because if we just be a calmed one? There's a big possibility that we might lose it. And, it's a big NO NO to us. As per my scholarship in VBBSP, I need to maintain my GPA of 2.75 to stay as a scholar until I graduate. Same as on my scholarship in the municipal hall, I need to maintain having a GPA of not lower than 2.00 and being an Academic Scholar of our Alma Mater? I also need to maintain having a GPA of not lower than 1.75. To have it all in tucked? I strived, hard. So hard not just to learn but to gain a good grades. A good grades that aren't meant to brag other students out there, but to maintain my scholarships. And, because of all of this hard works? I harvest many things. I got to help our family in providing our needs, to have my bank savings, and most specially? I maintained being a scholar since I was in first year until now when I am already on my third year in college. And, I will still push it until I got above that stage in the Graduation Site while wearing a black toga and smiling so deeply to my parents. You can also read this article to have some ideas how my scholarship helps me in providing my and our family's needs: **Unboxing My Goals** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/unboxing-my-goals-980ed60a I got my dream major and specialization. In our course, we need to focus in only one major with only one specialization. We have different majors such as the Animal Science, Crop Science, Crop Protection, Soil Science, and Agricultural Extension Education. The application was held before the second semester last A.Y. 2020-2021 starts, around last week of November. I applied first to my dream major, **Crop Protection**. And, just to make sure, I also applied for Crop Science. These two has their own specializations. Crop Protection has three: *Entomology, Weed Science,* and *Plant Pathology.* The last one is my choice. Upon application, the interview was not implemented. But, we shouldn't calm down. Because each departments conducts their own background checking. And it was expected that they'll check our performances and grades. To sum it up, I got in to both of Crop Protection and Crop Science. But since that the results for my dreams major (Crop Protection) was announced first, I backed-out on the Crop Science and just told the higher ups to just give my slot to other student in the waiting list. And, tadaaa! Now that I am in my third year, I am gonna focus on my major (Crop Protection) and specialization (Plant Pathology) until my fourth year in college. I got a lot of learnings. Striving means not just by passing the requirements and examinations. But, also to gain lots and lots of knowledge and learnings. And, in my two years as a college student taking up **BS Agriculture**? I got it all, little by little. Slowly but surely. <3 `Following on the line, some of the fruits of being a hard working, determined, and goal-digger daughter and a big sister.` Since that I was in the age of sixteen, I started grinding and working hard to help our parents especially in financial aspects. Having my scholarships and with the help of noise.cash and read.cash for me to earn some BCH? It seems to be a little bit easier than it could be. And, here are some of the fruits of all my hard works as a content creator, a daughter and big sister to my two younger siblings. I am able to help our parents. Before, I just depend on my scholarship allowance to help our parents wherein I need to wait for months just to have it. No specific date, to be exact. And it's a good thing that a two amazing platforms was introduced to me and entered my life. Because of my scholarship allowance that I got from my hard works as a student and my earnings as a content creator? I am able to do such things for our family. What kind of things? To provide for our needs such as foods, clothes, medicines, and many more. To be able to help in putting foods in our plates, three times a day with some morning and afternoon snacks (sometimes, even in midnights if the budget wasn't that tight). And in top of it is **to have some savings for our future.** *To fill in in some of our needs? To fill in our stomachs? To have savings for a brighter future for our family?* It's the greatest returns that I can ever get from all of my hard works. And, I am having and being able to have it by now. Slowly. I can finance some of the celebrations in our family. Before, we are indeed lucky if we can have some sopas on our birthdays. Some spaghetti during the Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. But, now? I can provide some for our birthday and Holiday presents. And, I started it on my 20th birthday last September 2020. Now, in the year of 2021? I am able to finance the birthdays of the three members of our family. Mama's 37th birthday in June 5, Papa 42nd birthday in June 6, and my younger sister's 11th birthday in July 20. I once featured my younger sister's birthday in one of my article: **She Turned Eleven** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/she-turned-eleven-1c82d25d And, my and my younger brother's birthdays was still in line. Which I was already saving from now. Including those presents in Holidays. How am I able to do it? Through my scholarship allowance and my earnings in making noises in noise.cash and writing articles in read.cash. **Thank y'all to the support, especially to Rusty. HIHI!** I can now support my studies. Way back when I am still in Senior High School, I am starting to support my daily allowance sometimes and most of my school expenses more often through my scholarship allowance and savings. And, now that we are in a remote learning? I can't remember that I asked my parents to buy some load for me. I finance it all and I will still do it now. Same as on my sister's school needs, I buy it all with my money as I don't want to make our parents more problematic in terms of financial matter. And now that the three of us will study? I will work harder just to support our studies and needs, in my own. Thank you again to noise.cash and read.cash for enabling me to do it! :) I became strong and independent, slowly. `Lastly, the fruits of all my hard works in noise.cash and read.cash.` I am able to help our parents. In the past month and until now (July-August), I am able to provide for our family including our medicines when we got a flu and when Mama got sick, when we got no food supplies and lacking for the supply of rice, for our family's birthdays, and more. Read previous article of mine about how noise.cash and read.cash helped me: **Noise.cash And Read.cash Helps Me To?** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/noisecash-and-readcash-helps-me-to-6ec1976d I can finance some of the celebrations in our family. The truth is that I financed my younger sister's 11th birthday through my earnings in noise.cash. Sounds great, right? :) I can now support my studies. I buy my weekly load in coins.ph through my crypto-earnings. **I gain more virtual friends and family.** I gained more friends from many places out there. Found my Ates and Kuyas that's been supporting and teaching me lots of ideas like a real big sister and brother. **Rusty noticed me, finally.** After writing and publishing numbers of articles since I came back? Finally! RUSTY NOTICED ME. I can still remember that date and how I felt that day. And, it was still the same every time he gave me some visitations. Here's my article about that day: **July 27, 2021: The Day That I Was Waiting For!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/july-27-2021-the-day-that-i-was-waiting-for-ca5ffef1 And, that's all for today's article. I know that it's too long for a supposedly four-minutes reading time, but I still hope that you won't get bored while reading this article. 😊 Also, this article will also served as my entry for the writing prompt of Ms. @JonicaBradley entitled with ****Writing Prompt # 12: Fruits of Labor******.** https://read.cash/@JonicaBradley/writing-prompt-12-fruits-of-labor-07b360f0 For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 16, 2021`

Mga Tipikal Na Paniniwala Kapag May Buwanang Dalaw `Ang manunulat ng artikulong ito ay gumamit ng lenggwaheng Filipino at diyalektong Tagalog. Nang sa gano'y maipahayag ng mabuti at mas malinaw ang nilalaman nito.` Sa artikulong ito, ating pag-usapan ang ilan sa mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa "**buwanang dalaw**" ng mga kababaihan, naming mga kababaihan. Marahil ay isang "taboo" ang paksang ito para sa nakararami sa atin. O iyon bang mga paksa na iniiwasang pag-usapan dahil 'di lahat sa atin ay kaya itong sikmuraing pag-usapan sapagkat para sa kanila ay napaka-sensitibo ng ganitong mga usapin o talakayan. Ngunit, sa araw na ito ay atin itong pag-usapan. Kahit na sa loob lamang ng ilang minutong pagbabasa sa artikulong ito. **Una, ano nga ba ang buwanang dalaw?** Ito ay ang buwanang pagdurugo ng mga kababaihan na kung saan naglalabas kami ng mga maruruming dugo na nanggagaling sa aming katawan. Para sa aming mga kababaihan, ito ay ang pinaka-senyales ng aming **pagdadalaga**. Na kung saan mas dapat kaming maging mas maingat sa aming mga galaw. At, ito ay aming nararanasan buwan-buwan ngunit mayroon din naman na hindi at sila iyong tinatawag na *irregulars.* Ilang mga araw bago ang araw ng pagdating ng aming mga bisita ay nakakaramdam na kami ng ilang mga palatandaan na malapit na itong dumating. **Ilan sa mga ito ay ang mga sumusunod:** *Pagsakit ng puson (menstrual cramps), dibdib, balakang, at iba pang parte ng katawan.* Ito ang mga pinaka-madalas na nararamdaman ko. Siguro mga limang araw bago dumating ang dalaw ko? Paunti-unti nang sumasakit ang puson ko lalo na 'yung mga dibdib ko. (*Pader 'yang mga 'yan pero sumasakit din. HAHAHA!)* As in, napakasakit. 'Yung tipo ba na mapapaisip ka kung may breast cancer ka na ba o ano kasi ang sakit talaga. *Cravings.* Cravings o iyong kagustuhan na kumain ng iba't ibang mga pagkain o inumin. Maaaring nagsisimula sa simpleng junk foods hanggang sa fries, pizza, burgers, milk teas, at kung anu-ano pa. Pero 'di ko naman 'to gaanong nararamdaman. Basta may makain lang, okay na ako. Hihi. 🤣 *Pabago-bagong mood o mood swings.* Ngayon, tawa ka nang tawa. Nasa good mood at napaaaaaka-bait pero maya-maya lang? Nagsusungit na. Nagtataray na. Sigaw na nang sigaw. Ang daling mapikon o mainis. Oh, grabeng switching hano? HAHAHA! *Katamaran.* Hay nako! 'Yung gusto mong gumalaw pero ayaw ng katawan mo. Ayun pala dahil padating na. 🤷‍♀️ Pero 'di tayo dito magpo-pokus talaga. Kung hindi, ditooooo: "Ilan sa mga tipikal na paniniwala kapag may buwanang dalaw" Karamihan sa mga ito ay iyong mga bawal gawin. Saan ito nagmula? Tipikal na galing sa mga Lola natin o sa mga Nanay natin na tinuruan din ng mga Nanay nila dati. Karamihan ay 'di sinusuportahan ng siyensya at purong mga paniniwala o *superstitions* lamang. Pero dahil nakasanayan na ay marami pa ding sumusunod at gumagawa hanggang sa ngayon. At isa na ako sa marami na iyon. Ngunit, anu-ano nga ba ang mga tipikal na paniniwala na ito? Simulan natin dito. Pagtalon sa unang beses na magkabuwanang dalaw. Unang beses na nagkaroon ako ng buwanang dalaw ay Grade 5 pa lamang ako. Siguro buwan ng Oktubre iyon, basta bago mag-semestral break. May foam kami na ginagamit sa tuwing matutulog sa gabi, kalimitan ko pa lang na kalaro ay 'yung kapatid ko na lalaki kasi baby pa si bunso 'nung mga panahon na iyon. Tumbling tumbling hanggang sa napansin ni Mama na may something sa short ko, iyon pala ay dinatnan na ako. Ang bata, hano? Ikaw ba? So, ayun nga. Pagkatapos makasigurado ay pina-akyat nila ako sa lababo at saka pinatalon. Ginawa mo din ba ito dati? Parang Bagong Taon lang hano? 🙈 **Bakit nga ba ito ginagawa?** Kalimitan na sa hagdan talaga pinapatalon ang mga kababaihan na dinadatnan sa unang pagkakataon. Tatalon sila mula sa ika-tatlong baitang ng hakbang. Bakit? Bakit sa ika-tatlong baitang at 'di sa ikalawa o ika-apat? Ayon sa mga matatanda ay para raw *tatlong araw lang ang itatagal ng mga dalaw ng babae.* Huwag kumain o uminom ng maaasim na pagkain o inumin. *"Oh, 'wag kang kakain ka ng mangga kapag may buwanang dalaw ka."* *"Oh, 'wag kang hihigop ng suka."* Ilan lang ito sa mga tipikal na ipinagbabawal kapag may dalaw ang mga babae. Bakit? Dahil mapipigil daw nito ang pagdurugo ng mga babae at maaaring higit na makapagpasakit o makapagpalala ng cramps. Sinusunod mo ba ito? Ako? Oo, kasi naranasan ko na na minsang kumain ng mangga noong minsan na dinatnan ako at ayun nga, mas sumakit ang puson ko. Kaya simula noon, 'di ko na ulit sinubukang ulitin. Uminom ng softdrinks. *Sa pagkakaalala ko ....* Noong unang beses na dinatnan ako, pinainom nila ako kinabukasan ng soft drink. Sabi nila ay *para daw mas lumakas at mailabas ko lahat.* Hindi ko pa alam dati kung totoo ba ito pero habang lumalaki ako at nagkakaisip ay nalaman ko na mali pala sila ng paniniwala. Kasi ayon sa mga pag-aaral ay mas nakakapagpalala pa ito ng cramps. Bawal maligo. Itong paniniwala na ito ay 'di pinapagawa sa amin dito sa pamilya namin. At 'di ko din alam kung may gumagawa din ba nito. Ngunit, bakit nga ba binabawal na maligo kapag may buwanang dalaw? Dahil **mababaliw** raw. Anooooo? Bakit 'di dapat maligo? Ilang oras pa nga lang na nakababad sa mga sanitary napkins ang pribadong parte ng katawan naming mga babae ay nakaka-irita na o 'di na komportable sa pakiramdam. Tapos 'wag pang maligo? Linis lang, ganoon? At isa pa, dapat mas maging malinis pa tayo sa ating mga katawan sa mga pagkakataon katulad nito. Kaya naman, 'di namin ito sinusunod. Pero itong susunod na paniniwala? Sinusunod ba namin o hindi? Sinusunod n'yo ba o hindi? Bawal maligo sa ulan. *"Oh, 'wag kang maliligo sa ulan kapag mayroon ka huh?"* Palaging paalala ni Inay, ni Tita, ni Ate, at lalo na ni Lola kapag may bisita tayo. Bakit? Sa anong kadahilanan? Katulad nang dahilan kung bakit pinaniniwalaan na bawal maligo kapag may dalaw ay dahil **mababaliw** raw. Kaya naman sa tuwing umuulan o kahit umaambon lamang, minsan ay 'di kami lumalabas kapag nandiyan si *bisita.* Lumalabas din naman kami pero sobrang dalang talaga. Wala namang masamang maniwala dito, di'ba? Naninigurado lamang. Nakakatakot kaya. Dami ko pang pangarap no. Hihi. Katulad na lamang kanina noong nagpagupit kami ni bunso sa bayan. Iniwan ko na s'ya sa *tricycle* kasi bawal lumabas ang mga may edad na 15-pababa at baka mahuli pa kami, wala akong pambayad sa multa. 🙈 Pagakatapos ay nagpunta na ako sa binibilhan namin ng pancit Malabon kasi nagpapabili si Mama, habang pauwi ako ay biglang umambon. 'Di ko pa alam 'nun na mayroon na pala ako pero madami nang sumasakit sa akin kaya inaasahan ko na din si *bisita* ko. Pagkauwi ay saka ko lang nasigurado na mayroon na pala. Kaya naman nasabi ko na, *"hala! Baka naman mabaliw ako. Naambunan kasi ako kanina eh."* Pero pabiro naman ang pagkakasabi ko. At sumagot si Papa nang, *"bakit? Totoo ba 'yun?"* Sinagot ko s'ya nang *"ewan."* Kasi 'di ko din naman talaga alam kung totoo ba iyon o panakot lang. Ayoko namang subukan na gawin para lang malaman kung totoo ba iyon o hindi. Baka masaktuhan pa ako ay. Di bale na lang. 😅 Ikaw? Naniniwala ka din ba dito sa paniniwala na ito o hindi? Pagpahid ng undies sa mukha. Isa ulit ito sa mga pinapagawa ng mga nakakatanda sa atin kapag unang beses na nagkadalaw ang isang babae. **Paano?** Lalabahan ang pangloob at saka ipupunas sa mukha, lalo na sa mga pisngi. **Bakit? Bakit ito pinapagawa?** *Para daw 'di tigyawatin.* Ako? Pinagawa sa akin ito dati. Katulad ng ibang paniniwala nila ay 'di ko din alam pa noong mga panahong iton kung totoo ba iyon o hindi. Basta, sumusunod lamang ako kasi mas may alam sila eh. Pero nalaman ko na 'di naman noon mapipigilan ang pagkakaroon natin ng mga tigyawat sa pagdaan ng mga panahon. Kasi kasama sila sa buhay. 'Di baaaa? :D Kaya nga kapag minahal na natin sila ay umaalis na sila pagkaraan ng ilang araw. Hayst! Char lang. 😁 Ikaw? Ginawa mo din ba ito dati o hindi? Bawal suntukin o hampasin ang mga babae kapag may buwanang dalaw. *"'Wag mo sabi akong hampasin eh. Kapag nagkapasa 'yan, lagot ka sa'ken. Kita mo!"* Kalimitang paalala ko kapag may *bisita* ako sa kapatid ko na mahilig makipagkaladyaan. Sigurado ako na sinasabi din ito ng karamihan sa mga ka-nayon ko. At sigurado din ako na minsan na din kayong (mga kalalakihan) na nasabihan nito. Bakit? Bakit bawal kaming hampasin o suntukin kapag nandiyan si buwanang dalaw? Kasi magkakapasa kami. Minsan ko na 'tong naranasan noong nasa Junior High School pa lamang ako. 'Di naman ganoon kalala pero nagpasa pa din s'ya. *Sensitive* kasi ang katawan ng mga babae sa ganitong mga panahon na kaunting tapik o hampas lamang sa amin ay nagpapasa o namumula na kaagad. Bawal magbuhat ng mabibigat. "'Wag kang magbubuhat ng mabibigat kapag mayroon ka." Palaging paalala nila Mama sa akin, sa amin ni bunso. O baka sinasabi din ito ng inyong mga Inay. Para saan? Bakit 'di pwede? Paano kung kailangan ko nang maligo at kailangan kong mag-igib ng pampaligo? Sinong mag-iigib kung wala sila kapatid na lalaki? Sila Itay? Pero, bakit nga ba? Bakit nga ba nila tayo pinagbabawalan na gawin ito kapag mayroon tayong *bisita*? **Dahil malaki ang posibilidad na bumaba ang matres natin.** Sa katunayan ay 'di kami pinagbubuhat ng mga mabibigat na bagay. Pwedeng gawin paminsan-minsan pero 'di pwede kung madalas. Dahil ayon sa mga pag-aaral ay nakakababa talaga ito ng matres. At napatunayan ko nang totoo ito dahil kay Mama. Kaya naman, iwasan natin na gawin ito, mga ka-nayon ko. <3 At sana ay malaman din ito ng mas marami pang mga kalalakihan para sa ganoon ay malinawan sila at mas maging mas maginoo pa sa ating mga kababaihan. ❣ Huwag sasabihing mabaho o malansa ang nilalabas natin. Nalaman ko lang ito noong nasa elementarya pa lamang ako nang minsan kong nasabi na amoy malansa 'yung nilalabas nating dugo. At sinabi sa akin 'nung isa sa mga malalapit kong kaibigan noon na s'ya ding pinaka-unang dinatnan sa seksyon namin na 'wag daw sinasabi na mabaho o malansa iyon dahil baka daw marinig 'nung mga nilalabas natin at maging mas malansa o maging mabaho talaga sila. Tandang-tanda ko pa talaga ito. 'Di ko alam kung totoo ba o ano kasi kaklase ko lang din naman ang nagsabi pero iyon daw ay paalala lang din sa kaniyan ng Lola niya. Totoo nga kaya ito o isa lang din sa mga paniniwala ng ating mga ninuno? At isa na namang artikulo ang aking natapos! :) Sana ay nagustuhan ninyo ito. Kung may iba ka pang alam na paniniwala tungkol sa paksa na ito ay ihayag mo lamang sa *comment section* at doon tayo magpalitan ng mga kaalaman at karanasan. <3 Isang paalala lamang, *"'di ko intensyon na maging bulgar, bastos, sensitibo, o ano sa artikulo na ito. Sadyang nais ko lamang magpahayag ng ilan sa mga karanasan at nalalaman ko ukol dito." 😊* For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 15, 2021`

Noise.cash And Read.cash Helps Me To? All of us do agree that noise.cash and read.cash are both a wonderful and helpful platforms to us. **Why? Why does it feels so wonderful every time we used this platforms?** Because aside from the earnings that we can get by them? It also helps us to release all of our thoughts, learnings, opinions, and anything without thinking that we might get bashed or criticized in a very bad way. When we are feeling like we are so stressed and exhausted from all the negativities that this world can give to us in every minutes, hour, day, it seems like noise.cash and read.cash were saying, "**use us to feel at ease and relax."** **Helpful? How? How can you say that?** First and primarily, it can help us **financially**. Am I right? Second, it can ease our mental health problems like stress. Third, it helps us to learn on being social-friendly. Either it be virtually. Fourth, it teaches us new learning. Introduced to many cultures, be enlightened in many things, travel the world virtually, and many many more. In my life, all of the four helps that noise.cash and read.cash can offer? I had it all. *Let's start and focused on the first one .....* As I said in my previous articles, I joined read.cash way back in January 02 on the present year but became inactive and my account was later on became spammed. In those months without using read.cash, I focused on noise.cash which I joined by January 11. From January 11 to until now, I've been earning. And, I can say that it's a *good amount.* Not that high but just enough. Enough to support me in my studies as I get my weekly load allowance through my converted BCH earnings. And it became even more good when I started writing my articles again using my second account which is the one that I've been using by now. The earnings that I got by making quality posts (did I? Hihi!) in noise.cash and writing articles in read.cash, helps me a lot. **How? How? The carabao? De battuten?** Kidding. 🤣 Seriously taking, how did it help me? In what aspects? First, it helps me earn BCH. The coin that I do not know before. The coin that I really love and adore by now. Second, it helps me to help in providing our family's needs. **How?** Let me show you how did it helped me. First Cashout The photo above shows my first cash out transaction. I decided to cash out some of my earnings as Mama gets sick. She got some muscle pains that starts on the night of July 13. By the morning of July 14, flu attacked her. So, to somehow ease her bad feelings, we need to give her some medicines and a lot more healthy foods and drinks. But, we can't fully provide that time. So, I decided to use my earnings. This is the very first time that I will use my earnings for our needs, aside from my load allowance. So, I'm a bit nervous that my earnings won't get into my bank account. But, I succeed!!!!! Wie. Aside from the medicines that I bought for Mama, I also buy some groceries and other needs. Also, a varieties of fruits (like apples, oranges, seedless grapes, and calamansi), snacks, and our meals. Good thing that I bought a little bit more fruits because when the night came, I and my younger brother got some mild fever, too. Second Cashout This is the second time that I do cash outing. And, I got eight hundred pesos (PhP 800) by this time. I used that money to buy some of our needs in school. Like pens, erasers, sharpeners, colors, paper supplies, and other art materials. By this time, I just need to buy my siblings' notebooks which I plan to buy by the first week of September (maybe a week before their classes starts by September 13) or after their enrollment. And, tadaaaa! Here they are. Third Cashout This time, I cashout for the third time. Though, it's lower than the first two cashouts because my converted fiat aren't that big anymore. But, I still managed. Budgeting saved my ass ey. Haha! As shown on the photo above, it's a medicine intended for cough. As Mama got sick by July 14, she also got a cough and colds days after she got recovered from the fever. And, it took so long to get cured. Why? She did a lot of things after she gets better. We do tried to stopped her for so many times, but she always refused. Then, Ate Iste's father died by the last week of July which also tired Mama so much. And, that caused her cough to get worst. Until on the night of August 03, she felt a difficulty in breathing. I cried silently as I see her in that situation. Why? Why does she felt that difficulty in breathing? Yes, she has the cough but such problems adds to it. Problems that aren't our problems. Problems that are running in her mind that made her situation and health at risk. So, I did my third cashout by the morning of August 04 and goes to the city proper by afternoon. To buy her medicine and other needs, just to make her feel more better. Since that she's not really into taking drugs (medicines), she just instruct me to by only one medicine which is what as shown on the photo above. But, me being a *very obedient daughter?* I also bought some calamansi and other fruits that might get her cough gone, more faster. And, after days of taking it? She gets better and now, her cough was already gone. Aside from Mama's medicines, I also used some of this money for the printing and photocopying of my scholarship requirements like my COG and endorsement letter. `Note: Those that I cashout from the first to third time was from my converted BCH earnings from the months of January to June which reached five thousand pesos, as far as I remember.` **Fourth Cashout** By this time, the converted fiat that I cashout was not from my earning from January to June. It was from my earnings in read.cash from August 1 to 12. Nearly three weeks from now, our family had experienced shortage of budget, On the first two weeks, Mama and Papa can still handle it. They still managed to provide our needs, most especially our foods for everyday. Not until this week. They started to be problematic, so I decided to just set aside the reason why I was so eager to earn in read.cash which is to save for my 21st birthday in September 25. I set it aside, for the meantime. And so, I just waited for my earnings to hit 0.1 BCH that I finally reached yesterday. Before the clock tickes by lunch, I withdrawn it and sent to my coins.ph wallet. On the afternoon, when the BCH price was in good state, I converted it which amounted to more than three thousand pesos. No one knows that I already have the money to help them ]. No one knows, but just me and you, guys in noise.cash. And, by this afternoon? I go to the city proper with my younger sister and Papa as the driver of our family vehicle (tricycle). Mama really wants to go with me because she was used to be with me whenever I go anywhere. Not because I can't walk on myself but because it was also our mother and daughter bonding. I didn't said to her that I will buy some of our needs, as I just told her that I will just buy additional school supplies. But, I know that she don't believe me that much. Mama knows me so much eh. One look at my face and she will know if I am telling the truth or not. I just don't know how. On the first stop, I got to the branch of Friendship Supermarket in our minucipality to buy our groceries. Overall, I got a semi-big box and one brown paper bags filled with our soaps and another one filled with two boxes of disposable face masks and a box of KN95 masks. After I put the box and paper bags to our tricycle, I go to the dry market to buy our snacks like fries, fishballs, and kikiams. After that, we headed to the food park in our municipality. I treated myself, sis, and Papa some snacks such as milk tea and some foods. But, Papa doesn't like the taste of milk tea as he like buko shake more. So, I bought her that and headed back to the milk tea stall to but two additional milk teas for Mama and bro. Lil sis was so happy as her babies (alaga) in her flat tummy was so solved and full. *Diet pa (daw) s'ya sa lagay na 'yan. 🤣* On our next stop? To the wet market to buy our *ulam* for dinner. Let's have some tinolang manok with lots of chayote and green chili. 😍 Before heading at home, we stopped on the rice store wherein we always buy our rice. Since that Mama just bought 10 kilos of rice yesterday, I just bought 15 kilos of milled rice as an additional for our stock. **And, tadaaaa! Here's what I got from my read.cash earnings! 💕** To make it short on how this two platforms helped me? **It helped me to earn BCH that I used to help in providing for our family's needs! 💖💖** I know that Mama was asking herself on where did I got the money to buy all of those stocks. And when the two of us we're busy organizing those stocks on our small cabinet, she asked on where did I got my money. She also concluded that maybe I already got my scholarship allowance for Midterm Summer Class. But, I told her no. So, she intrigued me more. Until .... she concluded again that maybe I got it from "coins." What she meant is from coins.ph. But, I answered no. But then, she cornered me. And, asked me so many questions like how did I got those money. And I just said, **"secret."** Mama wasn't asking those questions just to get some money from me, in fact she understand me. And, I know that she won't pressure me. And, that's all for today's article! Hope that you enjoyed reading this another "soup article" of mine. Hihi! Kidding. Anyways, this cute little baby just want to say "HI!" to you, guys. <3 She was inside the box as Papa was playing with her and she kept on giggling and laughing so cutely.

The Electrifying Electric Bill Did the title already rings a bell? **Bills, bills, bills, bills.** In our everyday life, we often thinks about it. The water bill, electric bill, the bill for the internet, bills for school, bills for the house, and many more. Every month, bills are running after us. We keep on thinking about the payday because we need to pay for the bills. Even before the payday comes, we are already doing some budgeting. Budgeting on how to make our salary meets our bills. Bill that we want to pay before the due date to avoid penalties. And, penalties means additional expenses to think of and be problematic of. **Bills, bills, bills, bills.** Aren't they're tired of running into our minds? 🙈 For today's article, let's specifically talk about our **electric bill**. Just like those other bills, it's the **most electrifying** one. Really really electrifying. In terms of bill, how much is your monthly electric bill? A hundred pesos? Or two hundred pesos? Or five hundred pesos? Or one thousand pesos? Or much more higher than this? You're one of those lucky ones if you just have a electric bill of lower than one hundred pesos. I was saying even before that we used to live together with Mama's siblings. They were four in their family; the eldest is a male, then here comes our Mama, another male, and their youngest is our Tita. Yes, the Tita that I used to mention in some of my articles and posts. Her older brother was also my godfather and I was used to call him as *Ninong,* rather than *Tito*. When Mama got married to Papa, our Lolo decided to just made an extension to the side of their house. That extension will be our house, it more like a room with a sink. Lolo do this so that Mama won't leave the place. We lived there ever since Mama brings me to this wonderful world. Years passed by, Ninong also got married and lived on her wife's parent's place. Tito also got his own family and they lived on the old house of their deceased Uncle, just within our compound. Tita just got married three years ago. **Where do they lived?** Tita was living with our grandparents on their family house, the one that our small house got extended to. Tito lived on the other house but still depends on our grandparents. Until Ninong and his family ends up renting a boarding house just a few houses away from us. Months passed by and they got kicked because they can't afford to pay for the monthly payment for the house rent. And, tadaaa! They moved in in their family house. To make it short, **Ninong, Tita, and Tito** was living under one roof. While our family was also staying in this small house or room? I don't know what this really is but we call this as our home. *We cooked our own foods. They share only one rice cooker.* *We buy our own stocks. Only one of them buy their stocks, the one who got the highest salary which is Tita's husband.* *We finance our needs like foods. Them? It depends, depends on who has the money by that time.* Imagine how difficult it is? Three families living under just one roof. Sharing only one stove. Eating their meals together. All of Mama's siblings has a more regular job. They earn five-digits in a month, ten thousand pesos was so low to define their salary. And, our parents? Even they combine their income from washing up the laundries and driving all day? It won't meet Mama's sibling's monthly salary. But, why? Why do it seems to look that we have a more lighter life than them? Why? One word to explain why, **debt**. They got a well-like debt. Yes, I understand that they sometimes sort from budget. I will understand if it was more on for their basic needs like foods, primarily. Our family will understand. But, it wasn't. It's for their lux. It's for their *luho*. Let's get back to the topic. We finance our own needs while they finance their needs, as one. But, these four families shares one thing. The **electric bill**. Since that our home was just an extension to their family house, our grandparents encouraged Mama to just used or connect on only one circuit. So, we stay like this for more than two decades of living in this place. One circuit means to only have one electric bill. But, it doesn't mean that only one person will just pay for the whole. Since that all of them has their own families to support, it means that they must provide a good and sustainable electric supply. All of the family members of each family are consuming electricity. We just don't know how much because we just shared one circuit. Even before Ninong's family moved here, it was Mama and Tita's problem. It will not be a problem if Tito was also giving his shares for the bill. But, no. He has this thick face eh, according to Mama and Tita. His three children was not in his custody but he can't even support his own needs, from foods to the bills. So, Tita often pay his share but that "**abono**" wasn't being given back. And, it repeatedly happened for years. And, became even more intense when Ninong's family was here. We thought that it will be lighter to pay for the electric bill since that another one can help in paying for it, even though that it means higher electricity to consume. Which also means that the bill will even get higherrrrrr. But, no! It still goes like before. I'm getting pissed every time that Mama needs to add another hundreds for her supposedly shares just to fill in the missing amount for the payment. Since that Mama needs to wash more clothes because she's a laundry washer and she can't do this manually, she often used the washing machine. Before, she have 8 clients. And, most has many clothes to wash. And, what pisses me off is what Tita wants to happen. Which is for Mama to give a higher payment. *Na kulang na lang s'ya ang magbayad ng bill sa buong buwan.* For example, we have a bill of PhP 1,000 for this month and Mama should give PhP 500 because she uses more electricity, as for them. And the three of them will divide the another five hundred into three. Unfair, right? It's really unfair because they just based on how often we used the electricity even though they also consume electricity like how we consumed. They based on how Mama often used the washing machine. Though, Mama still do what Tita wants. She always add three hundred on her supposedly share, every month. Because for her, ***"mas maganda nang magbigay ako ng sobra kaysa may masabi pa sila."*** It goes for over a year, until last June. They hadn't pay for the bill for May and her comes the bill of June. It means that they need to pay for that two month bill or else, our electricity will be cutted. *Mapuputulan kami*. Since that Mama's siblings has a children on the age of 4, 3 and 1-year old and a 5-month old baby, she decided to used the money intended to pay for our motor. She sacrificed it just for her nieces and nephew. She do it even we are stopping her because I and Papa knows that it won't be payed back. She still did it. Pay for the bill and until now, the money she used wasn't payed back. And, it was happening again. They need to pay for the two-month electric bill and today was the disconnection date. But, we still have the electricity so I'm sure that tomorrow, we won't have it anymore. I and Papa always teased Mama to pay for it again. But, she don't want to. She already learned her lesson. I and my sibling are already big enough to fan ourselves. But, her siblings' children? They still can't. *Sana maisip nila 'yun at kumilos na.* So, I along with Mama and Papa decided to have our own electric circuit *(kuntador)* this next January, 2022 or when I got my scholarship allowance for the second semester of A.Y. 2021-2022. As far as we know, it might cost Php 7,000 or maybe a little bit higher. I will just sacrifice my printer first as I don't want my Mama to be ***malamangan nang paulit-ulit.*** Just a little sacrifice and we'll get a much lighter life than now. Than them. So that we won't be so much **electrified** by the high **electric bill**.

How I Ready For Every Next Years And Semesters Of Schooling? I am one of the many persons who wants their things ready even before another tasks starts. I want everything to be ready. For this article, I will discuss how I ready and prepare for all the coming academic years and semesters. Not just for me, but also for my siblings. Even when I am still in high school, I am preparing all of our school supplies needed on the first day of classes, starting from our pens to notebooks to pad paper to the clothes that we should wear. I'm preparing it the day after the class starts. Example, the first day of classes will be by August 16, 2021 and I will do the preparations on the whole day of August 15. I sounds so excited, right? HAHAHA! *I will prepare my and my siblings' bags filled with our school things.* *Mama will iron our school uniforms.* *Will wash our shoes days before the class starts.* And, it still goes even in this remote type of learning. Maybe you were wondering why do I still need to do some preparations when it was an online and modular class that we'll gonna have? *The simple answers for that is because:* **"I want us to be ready."** **"I want us to lessen our stress in our studies by not thinking of the things that we need. Because it was all ready and well-prepared."** And, how do I do this? *Here's how ....* First, I prepared and checked the mobile applications that we need. The following applications are the ones that I installed in my phone for the online classes. Some are already installed before this mode of learning started and some are just added once a new mode starts too. ****For Making Files**** **Microsoft Office**, **WPS**, and **Google Docs** including Google sheets and Google slides are the most common applications that we used for making many types of files from document type to PowerPoint Presentations to Spreadsheets and more. Imagine our studies nowadays without this applications? It will be more difficult. Yes, there are still many Professors and instructors that are allowing us to pass requirements in handwritten but not all of them. Most do required us to pass requirements in computer-generated type. If we don't have computers, we can install it on our phones. MS Office and WPS are applications that has Word, Presentation, and Spreadsheets in a single application. We just need to prepare our phone's storage because these applications are indeed a **"space-eater."** In short, they will consume and eat too much of our phone's storage. 🙈 ****For Conferences**** **Zoom Meeting** and **Google Meet** are the most common applications used for video conferences. This application exists even before the pandemic starts but was just more popularly known during the pandemic wherein we need to meet to talk about school and work matter. But since we are not allowed to have a big gatherings, virtual meetings was done and implemented. And, this two applications boomed! As time passed by, it was also used for family gatherings like birthdays and Holidays. In our block, we often used the Google Meet. Why? It consumed lesser data compare to Zoom. It was indeed a big help to us, especially those who are just relying on cellular data. Aside from Zoom and Meet, we also sometimes used **Facebook** (specifically, the messenger). There are times that we encountered hassles using Meet and Zoom, especially at the start of the online classes, so we will use Messenger as a substitute. How? Through video calls in their created **rooms**. ****For Creating and Editing of Photos**** In the world of online class, we also need to pass photos, infographics like posters and such as our requirements. And, I am one of those many students who are so fond of using **Canva**. Since I was in my second year of college, first semester, I started using this app. And, since that I was into noise.cash, I got introduced to **Picsart**. Which I will also used as an additional option for activities related to photo making and editing. ****Social Media Platforms**** **Facebook** and **Messenger** was known over the past few years and was being used for communication. Before the online classes, we were having our group chats for our blocks and in some of our subjects. Upload some photos of our college life for some documentaries and memories. And, it just became most used by now. A lot of group chats are being created to keep in touch with each other, for announcements, and many more. Meanwhile, **YouTube** was indeed a great help this times. We can search for our lessons, can act as a supplementary materials, and many more. In fact, I found this online class more easier because of YT. Well, aside from our Professors who are discussing our lessons virtually, either live or recorded. ****Google Application**** **Gmail** Through this application, we are receiving the requirements from time-to-time. Can message our Professors and the higher ups through sending a much more formal message. **Google Drive** Used as file storage. Can also keep our files more safer and secured than just being saved in our computers and phones. **Hangouts** Some of our Professors and instructors wants us to have an easier means of communication, but in a more formal way. So, instead of creating a group chats via Messenger, they will require us to join on a group chat in Hangouts. **Google Classroom** This one is a LMS app or Learning Management System application that was also under by Google. Through this app, those in the teaching can give us the activities, school requirements, and learning materials. They will give it to their students and the students will look at it on the app. Will do it and pass through this app , too. Later on, they will evaluate our works and grade it afterwards. **Chrome** For searching, of course. For our lessons, researchers, the things that I don't know. Second, the gadgets. It's a self-explained one. How will we attend online classes without our gadgets? As of me, I have both **phone and laptop**. In this two gadgets, I made sure I have MS Office, WPS, Zoom, and Canva. The Google Meet, Drive, Gmail, Hangouts, YouTube are already available in the Chrome. Same as on Facebook and Google Classroom. We just need to search for it and make a shortcut on our Chrome. So, that whenever I am not at home, I can still access our activities. Anytime and anywhere. And, oh! I also need my **earphones**. Especially when I was having my virtual classes, presentations, reviewing, studying my lessons, I need my earphones to make me even more focused. In addition, I also need my **notebook cooling pad**. The one that I got looks like this but they just differ in color as I have a blue-colored one. I got this one when I bought my second-hand laptop. Since that I had payed it cash, the first owner also gave me all the freebies that they've got when they bought this laptop. It includes the cooling pad, mouse, and the laptop bag. The cooling pad helps my laptop to cool off whenever that it starts to produce hotness due to using it for a long duration of time. Third, school supplies. A month before the classes starts, I also start to buy our school supplies little by little. Not just those that we will bring to school, but also for our stocks at home. We have this habit of just grabbing our needs in the cabinet. Like when our pens run out of inks. We will just get another one on the cabinet or drawers. We are not fond of buying our school needs in the store nearby as we found it more expensive and time-consuming. And, it intensifies when we have to study at home. Fourth, schedule. After I got my and my siblings' schedules for our subjects, I will immediately make a more organized schedule of it. A schedule that I can follow and understand so easily. Like this: But since that I still don't have a printer, I just wrote it in a piece of paper with some designs on it. Fifth, the internet connectivity. My laptop was connected to our relative's WiFi who are living on the first house standing in our compound. But, hey! They know it, okay? They are the ones who offered for me to connect on their WiFi. So, who is me to say no, right? Hihihi! As for my cellular data, I had some savings for it. I had saved for my weekly load allowance as I also don't want to just rely on their WiFi, especially that we can't connect anymore once that we are inside the house. It's because of the distance. So, I'm not worrying about it. ***BCH got my back, ey. 😉🙈*** Lastly, ourselves. Most of all, we must prepare ourselves. Practice how to manage our time, the stress, how to avoid cramming, being more perseverance and patient. And, all of the positive things that we should have. Why? Because it will greatly help us. What are those applications, school supplies, schedule, and internet can do if we are not prepared? **Emotionally, mentally, and physically.** And, this is **how I ready for every next years and semesters of schooling.** Hope you enjoyed reading this article of mine. I do also hope that you learn something. <3 Though, maybe you found this like a little bit of a "soup article." Hihi!

My Friends In Facebook, Me In Noise.cash And Read.cash Most of the people out there know the existence of social media platforms such the Facebook (which is the most popular and used social media platform), Twitter, Instagram or known shorter as IG, YouTube, and many more to mention. These are some of the social media platforms that I know to exists, before. Before I got to know **noise.cash** and **read.cash**. Facebook, this is the only social media platform that I had an account before. The only socmed application that I have installed in my previous phones. I seldomly post there but I usually shared posts, posts that are about Wattpad, my K-Idols, the happenings in the country or even in world. But, I do not share memes and some unrelative posts like those *'pakilig and patama'* posts. I don't know why but I found it so pang-bata, nowadays. But, when I was still in Junior High School? I can remember that I used to share posts with those kinds of contents. HAHAHA! *Gulo ko ba? 🤣* Anyways, in this article, we will discuss how I and my friends live in social media platforms, specifically in Facebook. Before that, let us first tackle some similarities and differences of Facebook and Noise.cash along with read.cash. **Here it goes:** Similarities ****Posting**** In Facebook, we can post anything we want. From our selfies to groupies to goals to achievements. Our first kilig moment to the moment that we cried because of love. Anything. It also goes with noise.cash and read.cash wherein we can post and make an article about how our daily life goes, our experiences, our goals and achievements, how we do travelling, our thoughts along with our ideas and opinions about a certain topic/s, our happy and even sad moments, throwbacks, and many more. We can also do some commenting and replying, editing, and deleting of either posts or comments, that are also common in Facebook. ****Reacts**** In Facebook, there are various reactions that are available. From LIKE to LOVE to CARE to HAHA to WOW to SAD to ANGRY. In noise.cash, we also have the *"heart icon (❤)"* in there. And, in read.cash? We both have the *thumbs up sign* and *thumbs down sign. 👍🏻* means **to upvote** and *👎🏻* means **to downvote.** ****Supporters**** In both Facebook, noise.cash, and read.cash, we have those avid supporters. They do and show this through either following us or subscribing to us. In Facebook, we call them as our **followers**. Meanwhile, in noise.cash and read.cash, they are our **subscribers.** ****Sharing**** In Facebook, we can share any posts that we want any time through clicking the icon as shown below. But, in noise.cash we also have it. And, we call it **"renoise."** ****Rules**** In both Facebook, noise.cash, and read.cash, we also have a set of rules. Rules that are meant to protect all the users and prohibits acts that might harm one person to another person or groups. This rules helps in maintaining the peace in the said platforms, avoid unlawful acts. ****Relationships**** In all of the social media platforms, we can build a good relationship. Either it was within our community or to the people who lives far far away from us. We can find people that eventually became our friends. We can find our virtual sisters and brothers, either they be older or younger. People who we can share the happy and sad happenings in our lives, people that we can love and will love us too *(sanaowl, HAHAHA!)*, people who can help and support us. ****Plagiarism**** This unlawful act is so popular. In all of the social media platforms that are available nowadays, plagiarism do always occur. Differences ****Users**** Admit it or not, Facebook has two kinds of users. The **healthy users** and the **toxic users**, toxic users are being greater and greater as time passes by. Engaging in online wars *(patama here, patama there)*, using Facebook as a means of saying bad things to another one, using it just to be in trend, spreading fake news and believing on it so easily, engaging in social issues without knowing the facts and comment like as if we (they) know every single details, and many acts that leads to being toxic. But in noise.cash and read.cash? There were still some toxic users but healthy users are greater than them. Will support us on our goals, giveaways, fundraisings, and many more. Will congratulate us from their hearts. Will corrects us in some of the things and moves that we'll do and did but will not bash nor offend us. Supporters are much more greater than bashers which is the complete opposite in Facebook. ****What we get.**** In Facebook, we can gain hundreds or even thousands and millions of reacts, comments, shares, and even views in our every posts. But, in noise.cash and read.cash? We gain **hearts and renoise**. How do they differ? We can earn BCH through the hearts and renoise that can't get in Facebook. And, these BCH can be converted into fiat that we can use for our needs and expenses. In Facebook, we can't earn unless we do some businesses in there. Now, let me discuss how my life and my friends' lives in social media differs since I joined this two platforms, the noise.cash and read.cash. Before, I also used to post my achievements and life happenings in Facebook, either in my days or in my wall. Our birthdays, my graduation, the awards that I received in school, family getaways, my activities in school, my scores in some quizzes or tests, my thoughts, and many more. But, that was before. Before I met noise.cash and read.cash. Before I decided to include them in my everyday life. When I started to earn good amount through making some noises, months after I joined noise.cash, I started inviting my friends. I started with my closest friend in college and in the very same day that I invited her? She immediately joined. She created her account and I guide her in every step of the way. Share to her all of the things that I already know like how to earn, how to use e-wallets like coins.ph and bitcoin.com, how to tip other user's posts, how to get subscribers. But, I also remind her that she should be more and more patient, determined, and perseverance. But, it doesn't goes the same with her. Days of being a noise.cash user, she didn't got many tips and it means that less and lower earnings. What I mean in less and low earnings is just a one hundred peso or even lower, I don't know. But what I am sure is that she didn't reach even five hundred pesos. She often posts photos that aren't from her and with just a few words as a caption. In addition, she doesn't interact to other users but just to me. Until, she became inactive and leaved, later on. So, I invited again and again and again. Most of them are not interested, only one tried to earn but it didn't last longer. **Now, that close friend of mine along with some of our circle of friends are back to their life in social media, in Facebook.** *They posts and uploaded their selfies in their my days and walls.* *Their Certificate of Grades and even Certificate of Registrations.* `Sometimes, I just don't want to view my days in my Facebook app during the releasing of COG and COR because these two are all that I can see for the whole day.` *Their unending complaints about the mountain-like school activities.* *Their rants about the enrollment processes.* *And, many more to mention.* And, they can even stay all day and all night by scrolling down their feeds, watching random videos, sharing memes, and many more (2). But, hey! I am not against their activities. That was their lives and preferences and I will support them. But, I just want to share what I have to them. It's just that they don't want to. </3 *And, here I am now.* **Instead of posting and uploading my selfies in Facebook?** I prefer them to post in noise.cash. In real life, I am not really into selfies and most especially, in posting those photos online. Not because I don't want to or I am afraid, I just don't want to be silently judged. *Para iwas sama lang din ng loob.* My friends usually flaunt their grades online and even shout to the whole virtual world of Facebook that they are finally enrolled. Express their complaints on their professors and instructors about giving them a lot of school works. Ranting on how difficult and hassle the enrollment processes are. **While me?** I prefer to just post it on noise.cash and make an article about it and publish it in read.cash. Less bashers, right? Hihi. Aside from I can fully express my thoughts or even rants freely, I can get lesser bashers. My virtual friends including my Ates and Kuyas and other users will suggest, state their opinions and comments without any intentions to offend nor hurt me. In addition, it seems like I can hit two birds with one stone. I got to let go all of the things that are running in my head while earning. I can share some of my knowledge, learnings, and my experiences while earning. I can learn from other users while earning. I can build good relationships to other people that I can't see personally while they help me to earn some livings. And, I'm so grateful for this. **SO GRATEFUL!** For me, it was the most healthy social media platform that I engaged with. So, I will keep it as long as it was still here with us. I will! <3 For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 09, 2021`

A Jobless Woman Before, Now A Content Creator! Yesterday, I was planning to write another article but laziness got into my system and I found it so difficult to be fought to. And so, I just used that time to read articles from numerous authors here in read.cash and it includes the article written and published by Ate @Eybyoung, the **I Have A Job, I Am Not Jobless!**. https://read.cash/@Eybyoung/i-have-a-job-i-am-not-jobless-ae98d114 From this, another topic had come up to me and it was still related to Ate Eybyoung's. And, here I am now. In front of my laptop, typing my own thoughts about that article. Since I was in primary to secondary school (Kindergarten to Grade 10), I fully depend on my parents. All of my financial needs, from daily allowance to school projects to other school expenses, are coming from them. Why? Because I don't have a job yet, **I am still jobless.** I can still remember those times that I can't pay for the homeroom project on time, even in a simple photocopies. Why? Because we lacked. We lacked in financial aspects. Before, I wasn't aware that there was a SPES in our municipality, it is the program intended for students to have a summer job within any offices or department in the municipal hall. And, when I got aware of it when I was still in Grade 10 (around February, two months before the moving up ceremony)? I immediately go to the PESO Office to inquire. Got a list of requirements to comply, arrange those requirements, apply, wait for the results, got in, worked from 8:00AM-5:00PM for 20 days, wait for our salary, get it, used in school and home needs. And, that is the first time that I got a job. I am not that knowledgeable in handling money but I have a plan on where to put it. Once that I got my salary, I immediately bought some groceries for us and our school supplies. Saved the half for our school allowance. But, here comes Tita. Trying to borrow money but I didn't let her. Until now, I can still remember the phrase that she said to me before, it goes like this: **"Ngayon pa lang hirap na hirap kang magpakawala ng pera, paano pa kaya kapag nagka-trabaho ka na?"** Just, what? Did I worked for her? Did I worked just to give her money? Did I worked for her to take advantage on me? On the next summer vacation, I applied for the SPES again ang got in for the second time. It also goes when the summer vacation for the A.Y. 2019-2020 was approaching, it was just February but the OIC in PESO Office contacted me that why I haven't still passing my requirements. She also said the she'll wait for me even though the deadline will be on the next day. So, I immediately arrange the requirements. I was so excited to work with them again. **Until ..... the pandemic got started.** We are not allowed to go outside. We stayed inside the house for months without work and it means no income nor salary to come in for the family and needs. Online selling got started and become a trend. Selling any products from foods to essentials like face masks to plants to school supplies and many more. Like most families out there, our family also experienced financial problems. So like many people out there who tried online selling, I tried it too afterwards. I started from PCC products to school supplies, but no one have bought. Some do messaged me but just to asked for the price. No one orders from me, no money to enter and be used for needs. So, I gave it up. The increasing competition also emerged and it made online selling more difficult. And, I started offering tutorials. I got two regular clients which I can earn from PhP 300-400 ($6 and up) in just a day. Seems like I can meet the minimum wage here in our country. But, it was not enough. Not enough to help our parents on the expenses at home and for our needs in school. **Until ... I met read.cash and noise.cash.** At first, it was really difficult to earn some pennies. At first, I really didn't consider noise.cash as a job. As it was also what the team said, that we shouldn't consider it as a job that can pay us good amount. I strive and work hard. Until the once two-digit earning in a day became three-digits. When I started making some living in there, I had started to compare my today's life to what my friends and other people I know do today. ***Here it goes ...*** They post everything that happens in their lives to social media, specifically on Facebook and Twitter. Shared so many posts including memes, joining an 'Online Rambulan', posting their unending rants, and all. This is what my friends usually do in Facebook. They gets likes and reactions, comments, or even shares but here I am ... using and treating noise.cash as my own world. A world and a social media platform that is less toxic than Facebook. Less people to engage with but a good a greater relationship to build. They were living their life to the fullest, spending money that are not from their hard works, buying things from their parent's pockets and wallets. Lying on their beds while scrolling down their feeds, watching TikToks and some unrelative vlogs, being fascinated by other people's contents. Laughing and giggling while their parents work hard for them to have foods in their table. Being angry and pissed when their parents asked them to do household chores. Throwing rants when their Professors gave them a mountain-like activities but in the end? They will just copy from their friends and do some cheatings. Why do their life goes like this? They just sleep, then eat, then use their phones, and repeat. Why? Because they don't have jobs. I don't know why and I don't want to conclude because I don't really know their reasons. **I was a jobless woman before, but now? I am a content creator.** Before, I depend my every needs to my parent. Now, I can provide for them. Before, I used to share nonsense things on Facebook. Now? I seldom used Facebook. Before, I used to idolize other's contents. Now, I can make my own contents. Before, I envy those people who can already earn just by using YT and creating their contents. Now, I can earn mine and was not envious. Before, I don't have something to call as my job. Now, I already have. What kind of job do I have? I am in the world of **content creating** and we are called as **content creator**. And, I am one of them. But, people will ask questions. How? How did you became a content creator? What contents did you do? Do you do vlogging ? Are you earning from that? How? How? How? And, some people will also question your credibility. But, I will answer them like this. **How did you became a content creator?** I was introduced to both noise.cash and read.cash. Social platforms that I am free to express my thoughts and ideas. I created quality (sometimes? HAHAHA!) posts in noise.cash and writing articles in read.cash. **What contents did you do? Do you do vlogging ?** Vlogging? No, I don't do vlogging. **I do blogging.** I created and post numerous contents in a website that looks like a Twitter. But, way too far from that. And, it was called as **noise.cash**. I write articles in any topic that I prefer to and it is what we called as **read.cash**. **Are you earning from that? How?** Yes, yes, yes. I earn. I earn cryptos. I earn a coin that many still hadn't known. It is what we called as **Bitcoin Cash** or **BCH**. How? When I posted in noise.cash, other people will give tips to my ever posts through clicking the heart button or through QR Code. Same as on read.cash, I will write and publish article and other users will upvote it. And, tadaaa! I will earn. But, who pays me? Just like what I had read from Ate Eybyoung's article (which originally from Fexonice1's) I was being paid by the overflowing generosity of Simon and Marc Demesel. <3 While my friends do posted something on Facebook, they can gain hundreds or even thousand of reacts, comments, or shares. But, they don't get something that they can use for their needs but just popularity. Popularity that can sometimes be toxic. And, here I am. Creating and posting in noise.cash and having this kind of return. I write and wrote articles and publish it later on, and I can get this numbers. Either it be lower or higher. In just a month, I had this. I was inviting my friends to join us here, but they don't want. I understand my friends who wants to fully focused on their studies but those ones who don't want to because they want easy money? No. Because why? Why would they want easy money? And, months from now. They were trying their lucks in XtraIncom and other platforms or sites that are more harder to earn. So, yeah! I was a jobless woman before who just asked her parents for money but I don't want to settle with that anymore. Yes, I am still a striving student. But, I want to start earning and saving and investing at this age. I don't want to just study if I can earn while studying. Being a content creator at this two platforms are both an opportunity. An opportunity to grab and not to ignore and just passed to. Don't say that you are jobless, because you're not. Why? Because we are having it by now. Just by using our phone and other gadgets, writing contents in both read.cash and noise.cash while having something in return? It's already a job. A job that we really love and won't leave until the end. We are a content creator, in our own world. <3 Yes, we can earn here but don't just rely on it. We still need to look for other jobs out there. Aside from that we shouldn't be greedy nor too demanding. Remember that asking for too much can result to greediness and greediness can be toxic.

Finally, I Am Now Enrolled! The enrollment for this Academic Year 2021-2022 (First Semester) in our university was scheduled from August 04-August 11, 2021. On the A.Y. 2020-2021 (first semester to midterm summer class), the enrollment was done through our **University's Pinnacle.** But, for this Academic Year, it was through the another site which is the **Student Portal.** To make it more organized, the Office of Admissions created and disseminated a schedule for every colleges. The following schedules was just for second year (undergraduate students) to the graduates, those who will take Masteral (MS) of Doctoral (PhD). Incoming first year students was enrolled first before us on the higher years. **August 4 -** `College of Engineering and College of Veterinary Science & Medicine` **August 5 -** `College of Business Administration & Accountancy, College of Fisheries, and College of Science` **August 6 -** `College of Agriculture and College of Arts & Social Sciences` **August 9 -** `College of Education, College of Home Science & Industry, and Graduate Students` **August 10-11 -** `Graduate Students, Shifters, Transferees, Readmitted Returning Students, and Students with Late Pre-Registration` And, our college's (College of Agriculture) schedule was today, August 06. Like what usually happened in our every semesters' enrollment from the last Academic Year, we encountered many technical problems. Such as many students can't access both of the University's Pinnacle or the Student Portal because a lot of students was trying to get in and the system can't handle these thousands of students. And, the system will collapse. To avoid it this enrollment, I alarmed my phone's clock starting from 1:30AM until 5:00AM with different minutes of interval. In case that I can't get up because I am still so sleepy. HAHAHA! But, since that we used another site for enrolling ourselves and that it wasn't that polished, I still encountered so many technical problems like what many students had encountered, too. **Here are they;** 1. Schedule of Enrollment The reason why I alarmed my phone was to start accessing the Student Portal more earlier, looks like I will guard it. But, then. It was not like the pinnacle wherein we can open early in the morning. The Student Portal just opened by 8:30AM which was the start of the office hours. If we just used the pinnacle, maybe I was enrolled before the sun shines. That's for sure. 2. Mistaken Section I pressed our Agricultural Engineering subject under the wrong section. I was supposedly choose the subjects under my major, which was BSA 3-CPROT and not BSA 3-AECO. Just like this: Because I had chose a wrong section, the next steps was all in chaos. I tried to fix it but it just keep on loading and loading and loading. And, the next thing that I knew was I was kicked out of the Student Portal. 3. Unending Loading After I was kicked out of the Student Portal, I immediately get back and log in in my account. After I clicked the "Log In", this happens next. The logo of our university and the blue one under the "Office of Admissions" just kept on circulating, round and round. *Sana 'di s'ya nahilo.* HAHAHA! 🤣 This unending loading had happened for over more than an hour. By this, I already know that the system was already cashing. Can't handle the thousands of students trying to get an access and get in. *Parang 'yung sakit lang na idinulot ng tao na minsan mong minahal, 'di mo na makayanan kaya pinaraya mo na lang.* 4. No Internet Connection This happens even though my signal was stable. Though I was using Globe, my connection by this time was so good. This notice kept on appearing in my phone's screen many times. I was thinking why can I use my Facebook and other applications that needs internet connection if this notice kept on flashing. Until, one of my guy friends said that it was the system. Not our internet connectivity. 5. The System Crashed Because the system can't handle the thousands of students of our university, including ne, it totally crashed. We can't access the Student Portal anymore. Until, our Block President forwarded a message (as shown on the image below) stating that the website along with the Student Portal will undergo a 1-hour system maintenance. So, I stopped for awhile. Set my phone aside and treat my eyes some rest away from any source of radiation before I took a bath. After almost an hour of waiting, it was now open and I got an access immediately. But, the problem as shown on the number 2 (Mistaken Section) was still there. And, it leaved me more stressed and worried. Because it was already quarter to four o'clock and I'm thinking that it will have a cutoff by 5:00PM. This is my conversation with one of my closest friend in college. My patience was long but it seems like it was being shorter and shorter because of the fact that I still can't access and enroll for this semester. Until one of my new block mates since last second semester turned into a close friend offered some help to me. <3 Uwuuuu! I was so relieved by this time. She asked for my Student Portal account which I immediately gave without having any doubt. Because I know that she will take care of it. And, just after ten minutes or so? She messaged me again and said that I should try in checking my account through my phone. So, I immediately followed here words. Checked my account only to see that my section had been corrected and it was now BSA 3-CPROT. After she helped me, she also helped the two of our groupmates in our Soil Science laboratory class. We were once a groupmates that turned into friends. 💖 And, tadaaaa! Here it is now. **I WAS NOW ENROLLED! WIEEEE!** No need to be so worried and stressed. I just need to check my account from time to time to see if our Registration Adviser had already reviewed and approve our enrollment. After this, I can now have my Form 6 or the Certificate of Registration. Download it then print it. So, that I can also lessen the requirements that I need for my scholarship renewal. This photo was circulating and been shared by many of my friends. FINALLY!!! Five out of ten semesters, completed. I just need to finish 5 semesters (4 regular semesters and another midterm summer class) and I will gonna have my college diploma in my hands. For this semester, I have a total of 12 subjects, 23 units. This semester will be more difficult and challenging as we will gonna focus in our major and specialization. I will major in **Crop Protection** and will specialize in **Plant Pathology** or the study of plant diseases. It was the hardest specialization under the three specializations in my major. And, the online class will make it more harder. But, I can do it! As long as I have my parents, family, and friends who will help me with this? As long as I have Papa to accompany me with finding plants with diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, virus, and other microorganisms? It will be more easier. More tiyaga and sipag pa, self! And, you will be the first to graduate college in your family and whole clan. Fight lang nang fight, okay? :) Para saan ba at makakatapos ka din. Makakapasa ka sa Licensure Examination for Agriculture. Makakakuha ka ng PRC. Makakapag-trabaho ka sa dream working place mo. Tatawagin kang Ma'am at magiging successful ka kasama ang pamilya mo. Basta fighting lang. <3 **PADAYON, FUTURE PLANT DOCTOR! 👩🏻‍🔬** **PADAYON, FUTURE LICENSED AGRICULTURIST! 👩🏻‍🌾** I had finished another soup article, againnn! Before I end this article, I just want to say that, ***"Let's keep on dreaming."*** There was nothing wrong in dreaming. We just need to make a move for it to happen. To the future us? Just wait and we'll get there in no time. Just don't lose hope, same as faith and trust. <3 For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSS! `Published by August 06, 2021`

Why Do I Keep My BCH Earnings As A Secret? `Please, allow me to write using two different languages. Both English and Filipino, for me to be able to state what's in my mind more detailed and clear. <3` I was one of the many people who was not aware of the crypto world at first. I don't know that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) do exists, same as the noise.cash and read.cash. Until, a friend introduced this to our circle of friends way back in high school and up until now. I didn't join first because of the hectic schedule in academics. I let it subside first before asking my friend that I wanna join already. It was on the second day of January, present year, when I first made my first read.cash account. It was also the same day when I first got to know BCH, some means on how to earn it, and how to save it. After a few days, I was later on introduced to noise.cash. Which I thought that I joined on January 2 but I was wrong because it was by January 11. Haha! At first, I found it so difficult to earn BCH. I just can earn twenty to thirty pesos or less than $1 a day or sometimes lower. But, I strive until the once two-digit a day earnings became three-digits. Though, it was really not easy for me. But, I still managed and was now still a so active user of noise.cash. And, read.cash, maybe? XD How did I managed my BCH earnings? All of my weekly earnings was eventually converted into PHP every Sunday mornings. I was aware that it's not a very good move. But, I am not that knowledgeable before. And, it was a cycle for over six months (January to June). **Post. Earn. Hodl for a week. Convert. Repeat.** But, I decided to make a change through hodling much longer. I was now more determined to be a 1BCH Hodler or even more than this, if God's permits. And, I started it on the very first day of July, 2021. In just a month, I was able to earn and hold a total of 0.31 BCH. Much more bigger than what I expect. But, unlike most of the BCH hodlers out there that their parents or relatives known about them earning BCH? On my side, my parents don't know it. They don't know that I make a living by posting contents in noise.cash and writing articles in read.cash. I kept it as a secret for over eight months and I hadn't think of saying it to them. Why? Why do I kept it as a secret? **Here's some of my clear reasons:** `In this part, I will be using both English and Filipino language.` `Reminder: The next part will be more on ranting. Please, bear with me.` Don't want to be pressured. If they will know that I was earning with just using my phone and laptop, I know that there will be a big possibility that they will nag me out. Asking me so many questions. Questions like, how much do I make here? How? Is it legit? Can you cash out? Cash out now and again and again. Kumbaga ba, mapi-pressure ka na sa kakatanong nila. 'Yung tipo na bawat hawak mo ng phone ay naka-bantay sila at mamaya lang ay sumisimple na pala at humahanap lang ng tamang pagkakataon. It's okay if they will ask random and series of questions to me because they want to learn and try this out, too. In this, I will be so willing to guide and teach them with all the learnings that I know and have. But, if it just to simply make a move to take advantage on me? No. I'm afraid. Afraid? Of what? There are two things that I'm afraid of to happen if they will know that I was handling some money, aside from those that comes from my scholarships and tutorials. **First,** they will ask me to lend them some money. On this matter, I was not pertaining to Mama or Papa. I was referring to Mama's siblings. I was so afraid that once they'll know that I have money? They will immediately ask to borrow some of it. Just like what usually happens whenever that I'm gonna have my allowance from my scholarships. We will buy our needs on either morning or afternoon and just some hours after we got home? My younger sister will go to me saying that, "*Ate, pahiram daw ng pera mo si Tita or si Tito. Bibigay din daw sa sweldo."* Just, what? At first, I was so willing to let them borrow because I know that they really need it. But, when I got to know their *karakas*? Which was the **"borrow and won't pay back"** culture? I already had learned my lesson. Yes, I sometimes feel guilty because I somehow think that I was so cruel and selfish. But, I witnessed how our parents got problematic because we sort from our budget. At sa mga panahon na iyon ay 'di ko sila matulungan. Kasi saan ako kukuha? Wala. Kasi 'yung dapat na itatabi ko na para sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? Napupunta sa kanila ng libre kasi 'di naman na nila papalitan. 'Di naman ako selfish 'diba? Natuto lang ako. **Second,** I don't want my family to just depend on my earnings in here. Want to save in a silent mode. I want to be profitable in silence. I don't want them to nag me out. I don't want them to pressure me. I just want them to think that I was just simply using my phone for my studies, social media purposes, in Wattpad, and such. Because if they will know? I will be pressured. I will be afraid. You see, my Mama's siblings was not like those other who doesn't care on my earnings. They care, a lot. They care because for them, they will also benefit from it. They care, because I make money. This is why I want to keep it for myself. Less pressure and fears? Means, the more happy and free that I could be. <3 To surprise my parents. I want to save in silent because I want to surprise our parents. 'Yun bang tipo na saka lang nila malalaman kapag malaki na ipon ko dito. 'Yung tipo na saka lang nila malalaman kapag pwede na akong magpundar ng sarili naming lupa. 'Yung ganitong mga datingan ba. Ah, ngayon pa lang nai-imagine ko na itsura nila kapag nangyari 'to. 😍 I'm grinding for our family, not for the whole clan. It's for our family. So, that I can get some when there will be an emergency and for our future. Because this two was my biggest reasons why I do not tell it to them. Kasi wala naman kaming ibang makukuhanan sa mga ganoong pagkakataon. Lubog din sila, mas lubog pa kaysa sa amin. Mas lubog kahit na sila 'yung sumusweldo ng 5-digits kada buwan. So, ito ako. Sinisimulan nang mag-save para sa pamilya namin. Para sa buhay na gusto naming makamtan. Para sa future namin. This article was not a healthy article to read. For me, it was more on a rant. To the point that I was thinking that you won't like this work of mine. Kasi halata namang nagra-rant lang ako. Well, I just want to release some of the bad thoughts that are circulating in my mind. I don't want it to poison my system. So, I need to release it. Please, don't bash me. :) Not because I don't want them to know my life with BCH, noise.cash, and read.cash means that I don't want to share and spread the awareness about this three. I spread it to my friends and was also considering to start spreading it through some social media platforms like FaceBook.

Slam Blog Edition: Let's Get To Know Me More Yesterday, I became so very busy to the point that my original plan to start writing by 9:00 in the morning wasn't done. Guess what time I had started writing this article? It's past seven o'clock in the evening. And, it was not the article that I was supposed to write. But, since that I was so late to start? I just made up my mind to just to do other article in my drafts and it was this article with a title of, **"Slam Blog Edition: Let's Get To Know Me More".** But, then. I felt so tired and drained for all the things that I've yesterday. That it leave me to close all the tabs in my laptop's Chrome application and shut it down after. So, here I am now. Continuing the article that was supposedly finished and published last night. This article was inspired by Ms. @ExpertWritter's *('wag ko daw s'yang tawagin na Ate kasi magka-age lang pala kami. HAHA)* ****Slam Blog: Do you want to know more about Me?**** Actually, I should have done and published this article on the month of July but I hadn't done it. And, tonight is the time to do this. **Are you excited?** :D Get ready for this another soup article. Hihi char. ****Getting To Know Me, Personally.**** Full Name Who is me? Since that I was not yet ready to reveal myself, I will just say one of my nicknames. Just call me **Jem**. It was the first three letters of my eight letters first name. With regards to my second name, it just has three letters. So easy to guess. XD And my surname? It was consists of six letters. Overall, my full name has nineteen letters. Well, some of here do already know me. Actually, Ate @Jeaneth used to call me with my second name. And, I just reveal my first name and surname to Ate @bmjc98. Relationship status Ohmy. Do I really need to answer this so-obvious-question? HAHAHA! Anyways, maybe it was so obvious with my comments on some articles, right? Of course, I am one of those many members of *Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko* or *SMP*. In short, I AM SINGLEEEEE! Huhuhu. *Beke nemen, cresh. 🙄😂* Height & Weight Ehemmm. I was the eldest among the three children of our parents but I was the only one who inherited Mama's height. The last time that I got to know my height, it was just 1.49cm. Maybe I just got taller by now? *Alangan namang lumiit pa ako lalo, hano? XD* And, my weight? It just normally about 40-43kg. Birthday I was born on the evening of the 25th day of September, year 2000. So basically, I was already 20-year old now and will turn 21 this coming September. I has the zodiac sign of Libra and Sapphire as my birth stone. Hair and eye color I have this pair of black eyes and a curly black hair that many adores, so much. Saying that they want to have a curly hair, too but my relatives wants me to rebond it. But, I always refused. *Buhaghag lang 'to pero walang sira.* Hihi! **Featuring Last Questions** Last song listened to Last night, I played Bella Poarch's Build A B*tch song in YouTube and listened to it so many times. I was not aware that she also sings as I just be curious why she always play that song on her TikTok videos. I did my own research, only to found out that that was her song. Last text and phone call Last text that I had received? It was from 8080, received on August 01. It says that my account balanced was just 2.5. Last call? It was by June 29 and was just from my Tita. Omy! Is this how my life and love life was? Huhuhu. Sana all may katawagan. XD Last movie you watched A Quite Place, Part 1. I and my younger sister watched it when we are in a relative's house last Saturday. It was already Tuesday but we haven't yet watch another movie. Hayst! There were so many movies in the list but we often just watched once a week. HAHAHA. ****My Favorites**** Favorite food I love any pasta dishes. Anything that has pasta as a main ingredient. Especially if it was spaghetti, pancit Malabon, and carbonara. Favorite color I love light and pastel colors. It makes me more calm and relaxed. Mostly I prefer the color of cream or peach, any shade that resembles peach. Favorite college Do I still need to go far? Of course, I will wholeheartedly choose, College of Agriculture. Wieee. <3 Favorite animal I am one of the many fur Moms out there. But, cats topped them all. I also love bunnies. Oh! Their ears and teeth? Omo. *Kagigil!* Favorite flower Since the beginning, I really adore tulips. Any color of it, as long as it was tulips. Favorite season Rainy season. Yes, it somehow makes me feel so unproductive and lazy. But, I love this season so much. As long as it won't reach the point the floods and other natural disasters bought by heavy rains will occur. Favorite sport Badmintoooon! I super love this sport. Though, never been I became a player of our school because I was not that good and doesn't even know how to do smashes. Haha! ****Guess who?**** Who is my crush? I have a very long list of my crushessssss, with six and more S. Hahaha! Do I need to isa-isahin pa them? 🤣 But, okay. I'll reveal one. He was the captain of our college's men's volleyball team. ZMS is the acronym for his name. Okay na ba iyannn? Hihi. Who makes you smile? My family, my Korean boyfriendssssss, my crushes, Wattpad men, Ate @Ruffa and a lot of funny people here in this virtual world, and my unending imaginations. Hihihi! Who you miss? Lola. She used to take care of me and my siblings ever since we are a little. But, she's gone now! She left us last February 17 due to diabetes and maybe some complications. Yes, she was so *makulit* and *pasaway* but she's the second woman who accepts me for who I am and who I wanna be. UWUUU! LOLA, YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY AGAIN. HUHUHU Who makes me laugh most? All those people who I stated on the "Who makes you smile?" question are also the ones who makes me laugh most. In this virtual world, Ate Ruffa topped it all. Her *kabaliwan* and *kaberdehan* were making my jaw hurts from stopping myself to laugh so hard. Omy! My day here in read.cash and noise.cash won't be completed without me talking to her. Hello there, Ate Parotski. :D ****Know Me, Deeply.**** Embarrassing moment Like most of us, I do had experienced embarrassing moments in my life. I mean, a lot of embarrassing moments. Most of because of me being **"lutang."** HAHAHA! Anyways, since that a day won't be enough to enumerate it all, I will just share one of those. Actually, I first shared it to **"BCH Fun Time! Win Some BCH!"** Challenge of Mr. Trenzs in noise.cash about four weeks ago. It happens when I was just a freshman college student. Here it is: You can read the post through clicking the link below and read the embarrassing moments of some noise.cash users. https://noise.cash/post/lm77zx7z#10kkp846 Biggest fear & weakness? As a person, I was so afraid of heights. Even just I was climbing up a stairs? I can't even afford to look down because all that I think of is I will fall or someone will push me down. *Sorry, praning eh.* But, my biggest fear? It's **death.** I was afraid that I won't be able to achieve my dreams for me and our family. That I will leave them still in this kind of life; cruel, unfair, and still poor. But, I was fighting every time that I will suddenly think of it. My weakness? It's **our family**. If Mama and Papa was sad, I was sad too. If someone insults them? I will be so mad. Etcetera. If my siblings was sad? I was sad, too. If they were crying because our parents scolds them so bad? I cry, too. If they were, hurt. I was hurt, too. More! Though, I consider them as my weakness, they were more often my strength. If I was being weak and broken sometimes? I will just look at them and boom! Me being weak? Will be strong, again. Over and over! Again and again! Something you hate? **Toxicity.** For me, everything that are too much? It's already a toxic. Just like Mama's Aunts, I consider them as a toxic. *Ang bad ko na ba nito?* Yes, I still respect them as a human but not our relatives, not anymore. All the things that they've done to our family, especially to my parents? Judging and insulting them because of the way we live? It's so toxic to the point that I've just seen them as our neighbors. As simple as that. Anything that are becoming toxic, I hate it. Because being toxic? It's so poisonous. Poisoning our minds, so bad. Are you insecure? What's your biggest insecurity? **Half YES, half NO.** Yes, I was sometimes insecure to my rich classmates or to someone who was living a good and easy life. *'Yun bang hindi na nila kailangan pa na magbanat ng buto para sa mga gusto nila.* I envy them for getting any thing they want in just a glimpse. They will ask their parents to buy them gadgets, clothes, ask for a vacay, and the next day? They already have it. But, NO. I was contented with everything that I have. I was used to get any thing that I want with me working hard for it. The satisfaction that it gives me was so indescribable. *'Yun bang masasabi mo na, "nagawa ko 'to ng mag-isa. Walang backer o hindi nanghingi ni piso sa mga magulang ko."* Yes, I was insecure. But, I don't use it to have not-so-good thoughts. I was using it to be even more inspired to keep going. What's always on my mind? **Will I ever be successful?** The question that I always think off, from the minute I opened my eyes in the morning to the minute that I will close my eyes to sleep at nights. That feels that it will just popped out in my mind, any minute. Can I achieve my dreams? When? Will we ever get out from this place? When? Can we have our own house standing in our own lot? When? *These are just some of the questions connected to* ***"Will I ever be successful?"*** question that I always think of, always. Ever been in love? In love? For me, nope. I got some crushes and boyfriend before but not to the point that I will somehow be psycho (*baliw*) on them. It was just a puppy love, *paghanga lamang.* Think you'll get married? Oh, I was sometimes thinking of it. The truth is, I sometimes think that I will grow old as a **single woman**. HAHAHA! Why? I saw myself so choosy. I wish to have a husband as good, manly, masculine, and strong like those Wattpad men, except for Choco of His Into Her. Mwehehehe! XD Is it the sign? The sign that I will never saw this kind of man. They were all just in a book, most woman and girls' dream. DREAM! DREAM! DREAM! And, yeah. There were still man like this in real life, but maybe they were already taken. Huhuhuhu Where do you want to live? Anywhere. As long as our family (the five of us) was there, peaceful, quite, we can have our own life, and away from Mama's toxic relatives who loves to make gossips about us and fond of spreading any kind of toxicity. Confession I drink liquor on our last mini reunion with some of my elementary classmates last July and my parents don't know it. It was my first time to drink alcoholic drinks, so I was so nervous when I got home. MAMAAAA! DON'T DISOWN MEEEE. I along with some of my classmates and closes friends in Grade 10 was nearly got in the Guidance Office. We are so loud in the room doing some *kaladyaan* and *kaingayan* and there was an ongoing meeting on the rrom before our room. Their adviser go out and scold us. *Sinumbong kami sa adviser namin at galit na galit s'ya kinabukasan.* As far as I remember, @carisdaneym2 was with us that time. HAHAHA! Hello sa iyuuuu. Tanda mo pa ba iyan? :D And, oh. My parent's also don't know even a little bit about that. *Sssssh lang kayo ah!* 3 habits you have? **Sleeping and being a phone addict-** yah know about it, righttt? I was a great fan of sleeping. But, before that I will use my phone first until my eyes gets so puffy and my visions became blurry, as well. HAHAHA! **Doing household chores-** my life won't be complete and fruitful without me washing the dishes from morning to evening (*dakilang dishwasher ng pamilya ih. HAHAHA!),* sweeping the floor, cleaning a lot of mess at home, a lot of many many things. I was so used with this routine and I should not skip a day without doing those tasks because Mama will surely bombard me with a lot of words using her mouth-like-machine gun as a weapon. XD **Studying-** I was very good student (*mabuting mag-aaral*). When classes starts, I was so used to do and finish an activity in a day. Not that because I'm running for Magna Cum Laude or to graduate with a flying colors, because I was excited to have a sleep and a lazy day. *Pahinga ba.* But, after doing and typing a school work for 5 minutes? I will stop and use my phone, afterwards. Then, lay down the bed, scroll down the phone, and sleep. HAHAHA! 3 goals you want to achieve? **Have our own house & lot and a business.** **Leave this compound full of toxicity.** **Be successful.** For me, being successful means having our own house and lot and a business in the near future. Leave this toxic compound, successfully. And, be a 1 or more BCH HODLER! In short, be a crypto-millionaire. *Char. Wala namang masama sa mangarap, diba?* Wieeee. And, here it is! Finally done and published after being in my drafts for more than two weeks. HAHAHA! Hope you enjoy this article of mine. Actually, it should just be a 4-minute article but, sorry! I was just to engrossed in typing. Hihi. :D For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! `Published by August 03, 2021`

@imanagrcltrst 1 August 2021

August: Another Set of Target Goals It was already in our culture (*naka-gawian*) to set goals, either it be a long-term or short-term goals. Seems like our day, month, or even year will be incomplete and somehow senseless if we won't be able to achieve some goals, regardless on how big and small nor how many goals we had achieved. Especially for me, setting goals make me feel more motivated to move and take actions to make my visons come true. Last month, I just have one goal that I hadn't achieved. This month of August, I will still try to achieve that certain goal with my new set of goals. My goals for this month was more on for myself, my BCH life, and my and my siblings' studies. **And, here they are:** Start saving for my 21st birthday. In this year 2021, on the 25th day of September, I will turn 21. On my birthday last year, I just had bought myself a *sopas* and the Mom of my Grade 4 tutee made a cake for me. But, since that I can make money on my own now? I will buy myself more birthday presents this time. Maybe a sopas, pansit, Goldi cake, cassava cake, and some lumpiang Shanghai will do. *Sama na din si crush. XD* Why will I do this on my own? It's called ***self-love****. HAHAHA! Char*. It's because I'm a wannabe independent woman eh. 😉 Anyways, I'm planning to start saving for my birthday this month. And, all of my earnings from this month to the second week of September will all be save and use for it. *Ehem. Tumatanggap na din po ako ng regalo. Hihi! XD* Earn at least; ****0.4 in Noise.cash.**** Last month, I had accumulated 0.27 BCH. Which was just a thousand pesos, so far from my target earnings in noise.cash for July. So, maybe I can earn higher than that. But, either I had reached it or nah? It's okay. I was considering some other factors, so I was not expecting that too much. ****0.1 in read.cash.**** On the month of July, I had earned 0.049 BCH (around $27). I was just aiming for at least $5-$8 but I got this numbers. All thanks to the bot for visiting my articles and to my virtual friends for supporting me. Since that I am aiming for that **"1 article per day"** for this month, maybe I can earn 0.1 BCH? I don't know. Though, I became more inspired to write since the bot had visited me. Fighting, self! Kaya mo 'yan! :) Reach 0.8 BCH. Since that I had accumulated 0.3 BCH in July, maybe I can accumulate more this month. Ate @Eirolfem said that I should aim for bigger BCH as a goals and here I am, doing what she had said. So, I will aim to at least reach 0.8 BCH before the month ends. This BCH will come from both noise.cash and read.cash. This will not be easy but I will do my best to make it happen. But, no to too much stress and pressure. Enjoy lang. <3 Publish 25 articles this month. Last month, I was able to published 15 articles here in read.cash. I was just publishing my articles if I was in the mood, *kapag sinisipag ba.* For this month of August, I am aiming to publish one article every day. It was indeed a challenge for someone who let laziness to invade his/her system. 😂 So, yeah! Let's try this one. Though I am expecting that I won't be able to publish an article everyday as our schooling will start by August 16th, I will just aim to publish at least 25 articles for the whole month. But, I will still do my very best to fill this month with articles. So, wish me luck! :) Enroll myself for first semester of A.Y. 2021-2022. Since the pandemic had started, our enrollment processes was done online since the first semester of Academic Year (A.Y.) 2020-2021 to the Midterm Class. Last A.Y., I need to enroll myself for three times (2st semester, 2nd semester, and Midterm Class) and in all of this enrollments? I always encountered the ***"sabog system"***. What a term, self? HAHAHA! I mean, it was so difficult for me (I guess, all of us) to enroll myself as the system of our university can't handle a thousands of students trying to access the university's pinnacle to enroll themselves. Problems regarding to logging in and other problems was not included which also makes the process more difficult. The schedule of our college, College of Agriculture, will be on August 06 along with the College of Arts and Social Sciences. So, it will be a relief for me if I could enroll myself first thing in the morning. How will I do this? Wake up (*or 'wag nang matulog. XD*) by 2:00 in the morning and start trying to access the pinnacle. *Malay mo, baka swertehin at makapag-enroll kaagad.* Arrange requirements for lil bro's Balik-Aral. My brother had dropped and stopped studying way back in the year 2018. He was already in his 9th grade in Junior High School that time, school year 2018-2019. He dropped in school because of a very serious reason. And, just last June 25, I said that I will buy him a new phone because her Cherry Mobile phone was now had a lot of problems. But, in one condition. **He will study, again.** And, what he had responded shocked me. I didn't expect that he will agree on my condition. I know that it was because of the phone but, I can see how his eyes shines with my condition. Maybe, he wants to study again long time ago but him being shy? He won't tell it to us unless one of us opened this topic which was I did. Our parents do want him to study again but, maybe they just don't know on how to say it to him. So, by next week, I will ask for some assistance on my former adviser when I was in Grade 9 who also lives here in our community. I will ask regarding on the requirements needed and how to process Balik-Aral. Enroll lil sis and lil bro. Bro will study again as a Grade 9 student and lil sis will be on her last grade in primary school, Grade 6. He will study on the National High School here in our municipality, meanwhile, little sis was just here in our community's elementary school. Since that I am the Ate and Mama wasn't that *maalam* on the processes of the enrollment and she was also shy, I will do it. It will not be that easy as I expect that bro's enrollment process will be more tiring. Also, the enrollment for online and modular classes was more *makuriri* than before. But, I can still manage. I know and I could. Go, self! **Para sa pag-aaral nila**. <3 Renew my scholarship (1st semester) in: ****(A) VBBSP**** ****(B) Mayor's Scholarship Program**** Every semester, I was renewing my scholarships in both VBBSP and in Mayor's Scholarship Program. **VBBSP (Vicente B. Bello Scholarship Program)** is a Private Scholarship which was led by the Natasha Incorporation. Every semester, they required us to renew our scholarship through passing our latest COR and COG. For those, who has a failing grades, INC, NG remarks, and an unmaintained GPA, our maintaining grade is 2.75, will request for an appeal to the Director of Natasha. Meanwhile, it also goes with **Mayor's Scholarship Program**. They just differ a little in terms of the requirements. They asks for our latest COR and COG, an endorsement letter from our Barangay Chairman and another one from Mayor's assistant in our barangay, and a Certificate of Indigency. *Medyo makuriri din dito eh. XD* I'm aiming to renew my scholarship with Mayor this week and before our classes starts. Hoo! Sana kayanin. Decorate our DIY room wall. In our room, we have this DIY wall wherein I and Papa did when we transferred to my old and small room when I was just a little kid. My room was just like an adjacent one, *kumbaga ba is idinugtong lang kaya medyo masikip talaga. Pang batang kwarto lang.* It has a wood window on the both side that Papa just covered with cartons and a wall sticker to make it more good in the eyes. Since that I found it too plain, I plan to decorate it through putting some DIY boards (for my to-do, schedules, and some matters). And, I will start it maybe this week. Hope that I could make it happen. *cross fingers* Start buying tools for our small baking business. Since that I hadn't done this goals last month, I will do it now. *Kahit sana kaunti muna, at least may masimulang bilihin lang.* I was thinking to buy from Shopee or in Novo or FSI located in our city proper, or maybe both. *'Wag lang din sanang kumontra si Mother Earth.* HAHAHA! How about you? Have you already sets a goals for this month? On my next article, I will share the reason why my brother had dropped from school and stops studying for years. **STAY TUNED! <3** For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! `Published by August 01, 2021`

July Report: Goals That I Had Achieved Most of us was fond and used to setting goals daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly. And, I do this also. My day won't not be completed if I didn't make a to-do list of the things that I want to accomplish every day. And, I used to do it as soon as I finished my morning prayers right after I woke up in the mornings. Last month, I had make a list of my goals for this month. **Let's take a look for it, again.** Now, come and join me while I discussed if I had **achieved** this goals of mine or **not**. XD Finance lil sis' 11th birthday. Our parents had three children over their more than two decades of marriage. Me, my 17-year old brother, and my once 10-year old sister. But, lil sis' just turned eleven this July 20, 2021. Our parents doesn't have enough money to even throw a simple present for her birthday. But, they didn't know that I already saved some for that day. I cashout some from my converted BCH earnings from the months of January to June. When Mama and lil bro got a flue, I cashout some of it along with some that I will use for her birthday. At first, I thought that I won't be able to do that because converted earnings of mine was being lessen due to my weekly load allowance. But, then! TADAAAAA! **I made it happennnnn!** Wie. 🥳💖 You can read this article of mine wherein I featured my little sister's 11th birthday: **She Turned Eleven** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/she-turned-eleven-1c82d25d Earn at least; ***One thousand pesos through making some noise.*** From the months of January to June, I don't hodl for too long. I will just hodl my earnings from Monday to Sunday morning then I will convert it to Philippine Peso (PhP) afterwards and repeat. This is what I normally do before. But, since that my savings in PhP was already enough, I started hodling again this July 1, 2021. Even before, I am used to set a monthly goal related to my earnings in Noise.cash and set it to PhP 1000 (around 0.04BCH) for the month of July. Considering that maybe I'll encounter having a zero value hearts, inactivity, and other factors. But, hey! I achieved ittttt! I was just aiming for **PhP 1000** or **0.04BCH** but I got this! OMOOOO! ***$5-$8 in read.cash.*** I first made a read.cash account way back in January 2, 2021 but I became so inactive. And, I had made another account last March and just became active this third week of June. For the month of July, I was just aiming for $5-$8 of earnings in read.cash. Considering that the bot might not yet come to visit me or I'll just get some upvotes from my co-users. But, kyaaaah! I got this numbers. Can't believe that I can accumulate 0.04BCH. Well, all thanks to Rusty and my friends here in virtual world who supports me and my articles.<3 You can read this article wherein I first got an upvotesssss from Rusty: **July 27, 2021: The Day That I Was Waiting For!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/july-27-2021-the-day-that-i-was-waiting-for-ca5ffef1 Start upvoting articles/comments in read.cash. Since when I became an active read.cash user, I was really looking forward for me to upvote other articles comments. Before I do this, I was considering my earnings. But when my earning reached $2, I started upvoting. Why did I even need to add it to my goals if I can just do it right away? I'm considering so many things and I really want to do this this month. So, for me to be more pushed? I add it to my goals. <3 You can read this article as I also included this goal (First time that I upvoted) in there: **July 27, 2021: The Day That I Was Waiting For!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/july-27-2021-the-day-that-i-was-waiting-for-ca5ffef1 Arrange my scholarship requirements for Misterm Summer Class benefits. It's just a simple goal but what makes it difficult to do? It's the fact that our requirements wasn't easy to get. Certificate of Registration with a watermark of Officially Enrolled? We can just get it days after being enrolled. Certificate of Grades? It's the hardest requirement to get. We need to wait for months before we can get it. Professors and Instructors will pass it to the Office of Admissions after more than a month after the semester ends, the Records-In-Charge will review and encode it, then we need to wait for our grades to be available in the Student Portal. But, after months of waiting? I had got all of this. Yieee! I also had renewed my scholarship to get the MCS benefits. Wieee! Get my Certificate of Grades for second semester. Like I said, after months of waiting. I finally got my COG! Yeyyyy! 🥳 And, oh! Right after I successfully downloaded my COG after so many attempts, I saw those two words below my GPA. I was still an Academic Scholar. Kyaaah! <3 *Ewan lang next semester.* HAHAHA! I once featured this achievement of mine in one of my articles, here it is: **Another Goal Unlocked: So Happy!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/another-goal-unlocked-so-happy-7843668a Start offering tutorials for next school year. Being a tutor is my primary source of income last school year 2020-2021. I handled two elementary students (Grade 2 and Grade 4) who are both studying in different private schools in our city. It was so difficult because their lessons was so advanced compared to those lessons in public schools, but I still managed. I had taught them good and their parents was so happy to get me as their children's tutor. I tutor the Grade 4 student once to thrice a week. It depends if she'll gonna have a quiz or examination and I can earn up to PhP 800. Meanwhile, I just tutor the Grade 2 student when she's having an examination. Typically, we're just having a review for four days and I can earn PhP 900 to more than PhP 1000. So, I decided to start offering tutorials this July. And, I got one message from my one who lives in our community. But, when she had known the fee? (It's per hour) She just seen my reply. 😂 *Worth it naman 'yung fee eh. HAHA!* Throw a small giveaway for my 6th month in Noise.cash. I just became a six month user of Noise.cash last July 11, 2021. And, even this day came? I was planning it even before. And, I just made it happen. I thrown a small and simple giveaway wherein I'll give a 15-peso load to six noise.cash users via Wheels of Names. But, then. I just got a seven participants, so I decided to just give them all a prize. But again, only one claim the load. And the six remaining ones? They don't. They just participated my 'pa-giveaway' to support me and not because of the prizes/load. So, I just gave it to my friends and relatives who are in need of load. What I felt in this giveaway? So happy! <3 Start buying tools for our small baking business. I plan to start buying tools for our small baking business like spatula, measuring cups, spoons, and etcetera. But, since Mama and lil bro got a flu this month? I had to set it aside first. Their health was more important. Good luck to this, self! Hope you can have next month. *cross fingers* So, it's doneee! Thank you for reading this another **"soup article"** of mine. <3 Let's see each other in my next article wherein I will share my August goals. :) For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! `Published on July 31, 2021`

Back When I Was A Kid: Reminiscing Some Memories Hello, hello, hellooooo! :D This 14th article of mine was inspired by the  ****Getting To Know You More Challenge: When I Was A Kid**** article of Ate bmjc98 and was followed by my co-writers who also participated in this kind of challenge wherein they shared their memories in their childhood years. https://read.cash/@bmjc98/getting-to-know-you-more-challenge-when-i-was-a-kid-6c5daa12 In this article, I will share **10 facts and happenings** when I was still a little kid. I know that all of us has our childhood memories, either it be happy, sad, or embarrassing moments that we tend to just laugh when we are remembering some of those. And, sometimes we are asking ourselves, ***"Did I really do that? Did that really happen?"*** And, will be so shy afterwards. 😂 And, now? Join me while I tell you this 10 facts and happening (mostly *kalokohan. HAHAHA!)* about the kid version of me ... **Let's get started!** `Please, allow me to use both English and Filipino language for me to be able to express my thoughts more clearly.` When I was a kid, I was the favorite of my grandfather. This is the most clear memory to me when I was still a kid. Since that I am the first born grandchild of both of my Papa and Mama's parents, they used to spoil me so much. Especially my grandparents on the mother's side. When I was just on my Kindergarten year (around 6-year old), Lolo used to teach me on how to garden. It was still clear on how he used to build me a small plant rack on the side of our house and he even made me a small garden with a greenhouse. Though it was small. *Kapag may pupunta noon na mga classmates ko 'nung Kindergarten? Lagi nilang sinasabi na ang ganda ng mga halaman ko kaya ayun, bibigyan ko sila. 😁* He made that place as ***"my space"*** wherein I can do all my wants. Aside from planting, when I say that I want him to make me a doll made with paper cuttings? He will immediately do it. He teach me how but until now? I still don't know how. HAHAHA! There was so memories with him, but sadly, he was not with us anymore. If he was still with us? I know he will support and guide me just like how our parent's used to do. When I was a kid, I used to eat tinapa's heads. Before, when I was still a little girl, we used to have this kalan na kailangan ng kahoy para makapagluto. Nasa labas ng bahay namin 'yan kasi masyadong mausok kapag nasa loob mismo. Everytime na tinapa ang ulan namin, doon nagluluto si Papa. Ewan ko ba kung bakit, eh pwede namang sa gas stove iluto 'yun. 😅 Kalimitan, gabi kami nag-uulan=m ng tinapa. At dahil Papa's girl ako noon? Lagi akong nakabuntot sa kan'ya. Taga-bilang ako kung ilang tinapa 'yung maluluto n'ya. At syempre, bago namin makain 'yun? Wala ng mga ulo. Kasi kada lagay n'ya sa plato ng tinapa? Tinatanggalan ko na agad ng ulo at kakainin pagkatapos. HAHAHA! :D When I was a kid, I love acting. We live in a compound wherein we are living as a relatives. The house in front has this small trailer that they used in their fan. That time, my two closest cousins (3rd degree cousins) was always with me. We used to play at that trailer. At dahil nga mga bata, ayun. Nahilig din kami sa acting. Ako madalas ang bida. 'Yung bida na inaapi. HAHAHA! Tapos pupunta ako 'dun sa dulo ng trailer at kunyari ay mahuhulog ako. Then, isi-save naman ako 'nung pinsan ko na lalaki na kunyari s'ya 'yung *knight-in-shining-armor* ko. 😂 When I was a kid, I don't like afternoon naps. Like any kids out there, I also hate afternoon naps. Whenever that our parents will command me to sleep? I will immediately lay down the bed but won't sleep. Tatakpan ko ng unan 'yung mukha ko tapos bibilang ako hanggang five hundred. At dahil bata nga, mali-mali ang bilang ko. Hahaha! Minsan tumatalon pa. XD Ayun, magagalit si Mama hanggang sa makakatulog na talaga ako. Nang totoo. Pero ngayon? Nagagalit na s'ya dahil tulog ako nang tulog sa hapon. Ewan ko ba. 😅 When I was a kid, I was scared to eat hotdogs. Dati, 'di talaga ako mahilig sa hotdogs. Sabi kasi nila gawa daw sa mga bulate 'yun. Syempre bata nga, ayun. Takot na takot akong kumain ng hotdogs. Ang natatandaan ko na sinasabi sa amin ng Lola 'nung closest boy cousin ko is, ***"huwag kayong kakain palagi ng hotdogs kasi gawa sa bulate 'yan."*** Just, seriously? When I was a kid, I call boy's private part as a "bird". Before, we are prohibited to say the exact word for boy's private parts, our grandparents used to call it as *"a bird"* whenever we are near them. So, me as a kid? Nagaya din ako sa kanila. Kasi for me, bad nga talagang sabihin 'yung mismong tawag 'dun. Nakakahiya! At for sure, kapag sinabi ko, namin 'yung word na dapat itawag 'dun? Papaluin kami gamit ang magical hanger ni Mama. XD Pero, 'nung namulat ako sa mundo ng Wattpad? Naitatanong ko sa sarili ko na *"bakit bird? Paanong naging bird 'yun?"* At, na-realized ko. *Baka dahil magpa-fly s'ya?* Fly kasi tawag minsan 'dun sa Wattpad ih. 🙈 When I was a kid, I'm a Math genius. Oh, I clearly remembered this one. Whenever they will asked me to buy something in the store nearby, I will always calculate it on mind. Wala pang dali-daliri ah. Haha! Pinagmamalaki pa nila Papa dati na magaling na daw akong mag-solve ng basic Math computations. At ako naman si uto-uto, ayun. Nagpapasikat kasi baka bigyan ako ng premyo. 😂 But, now? I don't know kung nasaan na 'yung galing ko sa Math noon. Lumipad na yata sa kung saan at wala ng balak pa na bumalik. Ghoster ih. HAHAHA! When I was a kid, I'm an alien-language speaker. Maybe I was in Grade 2 or 3 that time, I envy my classmates who can already speak in English. So, when there were no classes? Expect me to be in the SM. Ay, SK pala. SK as in **Silong ng Kaimito.** :D What am I doing there? Practicing, of course. Practicing on how to speak in English language. Pero, 'di eh. Ewan ko kung anong language ba talaga 'yun. Kasi para lang akong nagbi-baby talk eh. 😅 When I was a kid, I put sticks on the wall's holes. Alam n'yo ba 'yung mga walls na 'di napalitada at purong hallow blocks lang? 'Di ba may mga butas-butas 'yung mga ganitong walls. Ang ginagawa namin is susuksukan namin ng walis ting-ting 'yung mga butas. Kahit kaninong bahay pa 'yan sa compound namin. Imagine mo na lang na punong-puno ng ting-ting 'yung dingding ng kapitbahay namin. Hahaha! Syempre, ubos din ang walis namin 'nun. Kaya ang ending, napapagalitan pa kami. But, why do we do this? Naniniwala kasi kami na pang-kontra 'yun sa mga multo. **My old self be like:** Ginagawa mo noon? Para kang ano. 🙄 When I was a kid, I was indeed so gullible. Do I still need to explain why? Halata naman siguro sa mga pinaggaga-gawa ko dati, 'di ba? HAHAHA! Right now, while I was writing this article, I was scolding myself for being so gullible. But, I was also laughing in my mind. Grabe, self! Sana 'di ka na uto-uto ngayon. At, huwag kang magpapauto kay crush. Bahala ka, ikaw din. Masasaktan ka lang. XD I hope you enjoyed reading this **"soup article"** of mine.

@imanagrcltrst 27 July 2021

July 27, 2021: The Day That I Was Waiting For! This ***27th day of July, year 2021***, was just like the normal days passing by. I woke up early to accompany my Aunt in getting some Mayana cutting in one of our neighbors and we got a bunch of it. When we got home, I lay down the bed for some minutes while making myself busy by doing some comments in noise.cash. Did my usual morning routines starting from fixing our bed and later on? I was in our small kitchen sink, washing our dishes. This day was indeed so normal, until it happened .... But, before tackling this little achievement of mine? Let me first share to you some of my **firsts here in read.cash**. :) **Let start with this ....** ****First account**** I had already shared how I got known about the existence of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and it was through one of my closed friends since high school, @carisdaneym2. It was on the ***2nd day of January, 2021*** when I first created my very first read.cash account, @imafutureagrcltrst. At first, I was so hesitant to write an article because there was so many what ifs running in my mind. "What if no one will like my articles?" It's the biggest question I have in mind. But, I ate that hesitation and started writing. I just put in my mind that I will just do my best in writing, just like how I am doing when I was still in the publication team of our college. Back when I was still writing articles for our school paper, back when my name was still written in the column allotted for the writers. I write articles but not in a regular mode. Until, ***I became inactive***. But, then. One day, my friend, carisdaneym2, messaged me via FaceBook Messenger to inform me that my account was in ***spammed.*** She told me to create another account and so I did. And, *****imanagrcltrst***** was born on the month of **March 2021.** But, after creating this second account of mine? I hadn't published nor write article after. My reasons? I was so busy with life, with academics, in my tutorials, as a daughter and a big sister. But, maybe this reasons was not enough? Because for me? *I was not that dedicated before.* ****First article**** It took me two months before I had decided to start writing articles, again. Two months had passed before I published my very first article. It took me months ... until I finally had the spirit to do so. My first article in this month? It was this one .. I first published my article by ***June 18, 2021***. I gave it a title with ***"Finally, I'm Back!"*** In this article, I had told a little part of my life in both crypto and read.cash. *Parang come back ba. HAHAHA!* Anyways, you can read it just by clicking this link: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6 ****First upvote that I received**** Like anybody out there, I didn't got my first upvote right after I published my first article. It took awhile and I waited patiently, like how I used to and like how I should be. I waited and waited and waited ... until I got an upvote from Ate @dziefem with $0.05 on the very same day I had published this article and on **June 20**? I received the biggest tip from carisdaneym with $0.41. How was me when I first had received my first upvote in this account? Happy, blessed, and even more motivated. Because for me? *"Other users gave me this numbers because my article was good, good to be given with some numbers. They gave me this because they appreciate my effort in writing."* After this upvotes, I got several upvotes from other users, too on the next days. And, I'm indeed so grateful. So much! <3 ****First sponsor**** Having a sponsorship and a sponsor was indeed an achievement here in read.cash, for me. At first, I really don't know what sponsorship was and what is it for. But, while being in noise.cash for some months? I had known it, little by little. At first (2), I don't intend to have a sponsor but as time passes by? I just felt this feeling of wanting to have a sponsor, but I know that it was not easy and that it will took time. So, I waited. Keeps on writing and publishing articles with random topics. Article from a not-so-good writer like me. Articles from a wannabe writer. Until .... one day. This notification pops up on my laptop's screen while I was reading random articles. On the ***29th day of June***, I got my very first sponsorship from carisdaneym2. I was indeed so happy by that time, thinking that it'll give me more motivation for writing and to do my very best. After I got this sponsorship, it was followed by my Ates in the virtual world. Ate @Jane, @bmjc98 , and @ExpertWritter. *'Wag ko daw tawaging Ate 'yung nasa huli. 😁* The empty sponsor's bar? Tadaaa! Here it is now! :) ****First earnings withdrawal**** On the ***last day of June***, I withdraw my earnings from June 18 to June 29. And, I got ***$1.20.*** Why did I withdrawn it even if I just got this in a duration of 11 days and that it was so little? Because I was planning to start hodling again starting from the first day of July. And, this is my first move to be able to track my earnings more easily. But, even if it was so little? I was so happy. Sabi nga nila, ***"lahat ay nagsisimula sa maliit."*** ****First time I upvoted**** I always asked myself, *"what does it feel to upvote articles of other writers here in read.cash? Is it so good to the feeling?"* And, this question? I became more curious to give an answer to it. Until I had been receiving numerous upvoted from my co-writers, I became more curious. Until that curiosity turned into wants. Wants to give upvote and wants to share those numbers that they shared to me. So, I make it as one of my goals for this month. A goal about giving upvoted that I should start by this month when I already had my earnings. And, when I got reach my earnings into more than $1? I started it, immediately. I successfully gave my very first upvote by ***July 19***. About my question, had I already answered it? Yes. And, what did I felt? It was ***so surreal, so good to the feeling, and so overwhelming.*** ****First $1 upvote**** Seriously, I don't mind the number that I've been receiving in my articles that much. Yes, I'm looking forward on it but not that much. I don't expect that someone will tip my *sabaw* articles with a dollar, $1. I really don't but it still happened. It happened unexpectedly. I just saw this notification that Ate @Jeaneth had upvoted my most recent article with this amount. Thank you, Ateeee! I really do appreciate it. <3 ****First visit and upvote of Rusty**** All of the users of read.cash, especially those who are already writing articles, was hoping and looking forward for TheRandomRewarder or most known as **"Rusty"** or the **"bot"** to visit their articles and I'm proud to say that, ***"I belong to the group."*** Who wouldn't be, right? 🙈 As time passes by, I was becoming more engrossed on hoping that one day, it will visit me. Every time that I was seeing some of my co-users in both noise.cash and read.cash posting anything about TRR? I always comments, ***"sana all dindalaw or mahal na ni TRR."*** HAHAHA! XD Every time that I will open and check my notifications? I always wish to see TRR's name on the list. But, nah! Na-da! But (again), I don't lose hope. I still wrote and published articles with random topics. And, I'm still seeing posts in noise.cash talking about Rusty and like usual, I do comment *"sanaol."* Last night, I commented on Ate bmjc98 about my thoughts in TRR. That sometimes I asked myself. *"why does he doesn't visits me yet? Does my works not good?"* And, I also stated that I will still wait, patiently. Because I know that one day he will visit me. ***Baka pa-surprise pa nga***, I added. Until ..... Just today, on the afternoon of July 27, 2021 when I visited my read.cash account. I looked on my earnings and my eyes got widened. From being just more than just $3 last night? It was more than $6 this afternoon. Then, I asked myself again, *"who gave me tips that makes my earnings like this?"* So, to find out? I checked my notifications. ***Only to found this certain notification ....*** I was so shocked at first. Blinked a few times and utter a very low shout. To the point that I nearly hit my brother who was silently sitting next to me. He finally sees meeee! *Ganito pala 'yung feeling na nabisita na ni Rusty?* **SOOOOOBRANG SAYA! AS IN!** To the point that I immediately construct a post in noise.cash and posted it afterwards. I even pinned it so that I can see it on top and be more motivated. View post: https://noise.cash/post/lp7kzmkr Grabe, 'di ko ma-explain kung ano 'yung feeling? Basta, nakakakiliggg! 😍 And, it was not just twice. He spammed me with upvotes and until now? Tonight while I was writing this article? He was still showering me with love. OMOOOOO! 💕 Now, I know why you, guys are so excited for Rusty. I know now! <3 **SANA ALL NO MOREEEE! WIE.** **Just be patient.** Because it's true na *"kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga. Este, upvotes pala." 🙈💖* For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS!

Goals Before 30: Can I Achieve It? Last week, I had read this article of Ate @Eirolfeam2's **Goals Before 30!** and it really caught my attention, same as how her attention was caught when she saw the post about this. In that article of her, she shared her thoughts about the post on how she vision herself before she gets in the age of thirty. And, this article of mine was inspired from that article of her's. https://read.cash/@Eirolfeam2/goals-before-30-858eea61 `Disclaimer: Like she said, the list, same as the photo, to be shown below was not from her and also not from me. It was originally from the official Facebook page of "The Global Filipino Investors." (https://www.facebook.com/TGFInvestors/)` Maybe, some of you, guys, do already know that our life was not that glamorous. We don't live in a castle nor a mansion or even a big house with lots of food supplies. We don't earn thousands in just a single day like what many people earn. We aren't rich. So, as a woman (it's how I see myself now) with lots of dreams that wanna achieve, I do always set goals. Goals that I really want to have in hands, goals that can help in changing the kind of life that we, I have now. Now, it's my turn to share my thoughts in relation to this set of goals. How I see myself when I get in this age and what specific goals I want to achieve before I turn 30. **Let's get started!** This is the photo that contains a total of seven goals that a man or woman should look for before they turned in the age of 30. *Now, let me share my thoughts about this.* 1. **Start saving 10,000/month.** In the real world, I'm just a 20-year old lady who was currently taking a college degree course and an incoming third year college student next academic year. So, how can I achieve this goal when I'm still a struggling college student? But, I'm not setting this aside. I can start by now, right? I can start saving from little amount of money everyday or every week. Then, I can just make it bigger when I already got my dream job or any stable job out there. As of now, I have this jar that I called as "**Future Jar**" and the name already rings a bell, right? It was meant for ***my future, our future.*** By now, whenever that I got my scholarship allowance or my earnings from my tutorial before? I usually add some on it. Though, maybe I was just in the 1/4 of it? I'm still looking forward that I can finally fill it. As an addition, I had set this goal of mine for this year of 2021. And, one of it is to save at least 7,000 pesos before this year ends. Here, I am. Hoping that I can have and achieve it. But, since that Read.cash and Noise.cash had already introduced to me? There's a bigger chance that I can really do achieve this goal, little by little. <3 2. **Wake up early everyday.** Ow, seriously? How early does it mean? 🙈 HAHAHA! When the classes was still in a face-to-face mode, I usually wake up by 3:00 in the morning. Why? I'm an early bird. Hahah! My alarm clock will ring by 3:00AM followed by 3:30, 4:00, 4:10, 4:20, and lastly is 4:30. Well, do you also do this? 😂 Why do I need to do that? Because I'm the one who prepares all the things that I need for school. I don't wake up Mama just to cook the rice that I will bring in the university. Especially when I have a 7:00 classes? I must out of the house before the clock ticks at 6:00AM and I should be in the university by 6:30. And, I am always successful on doing it. But, now? Now that the classes was done through online mode? Now that I am always at home? When I can do my school works anytime I want? I don't think that I can do this. But, if I really need to wake up early like 6:00? I'm willing to do this. So, okay! I'll try my best to wake up early like how I used to before. *I'm serious, okay?* **Believe me.** 3. **Start a side hustle.** Since that I'm a struggling student, all that I can consider as my *side hustle* is me, being a **tutor** here in our community. I started it last year, month of September. And, I got two regular tutees who are both studying in different private schools here in our city. For this next school year, I will still be offering tutorial sessions as it was also one of my primary source of income. Both **read.cash and noise.cash** can also be considered as my *side hustle.* Why? It also enables me to have some earnings. Earnings that I can use in providing my and my siblings' needs in school and some necessities at the house. Aside from that, it also served a very big contribution in achieving my goal to save, which was technically will fall to the first goal in the list. In addition, I was planning to start a **small baking business** here in our house with Papa as the baker. Though, I was still in the process of saving money to buy the things that we need and for the ingredients. The goods that we can produce will be offered and sell in the community through the use of social media platform, FaceBook. Hoping that we could start this before the month of December. (*Kaya ba, self? Haha!)* 4. **Read 2 books a month.** Omygoddie! Is it for real? XD Wanna know the truth? ***I'm not a bookworm.*** Seriously talking, I'm not really a fan of reading books, well aside from my books in school. I don't know why. Haha! There were also some instances that my friends and block mates in my first year in college were talking about the "*Harry Potter novels."* Then, I was just listening to them while scrolling down my phone. I was asking myself, *"what are they talking about?"* Don't get me wrong ah. I know who's Harry Potter is but I don't know what's the happenings in there. Aside from Harry Potter? I don't know any other characters in that story. Please, don't laugh at me. I'm not really that bookworm. 🤣 I also have some books in our room, one thick novel book and the others? It's an educational books. But, they were just there. *Malapit nang manilaw 'yung mga pages. 😅* Kidding. But, I was a great fan of Wattpad stories. Kaway-kaway sa mga Wattpad addict 'jan. HAHAHA! Nevertheless, maybe I can do some changes? I'm also planning to do a major reading time for the preparation of being in the field that I had chosen. So, I'm gonna push myself even more to be a bookworm, even though it was not that easy. 5. **Workout 1 hour everyday.** Like any other people out there, I'm also a fan of working out. But, with just a span of 10-15 minutes. You know those mobile applications that serves as a guide in helping us in working out? I also have that on my phone. What I'm aiming for is to make my buttocks even a good-looking one. Why? Most of my friends before are fond of spanking one's b*tt (as our kulitan) and will say, "*ang flat, egg.*" Though, I know that it was just a joke because I know that my b*tt was not that flat. It just happens to look like one because I usually wore a fitted pants. So, I set this goal to make it even more visible. And, yeah! I'm achieving it now. My sister usually spank my b*tt and say, "*ang ganda na ng b*tt mo, Ate.*" Another one is that I'm maintaining the size of my hips which was just in 26. How? Through doing some heavy household chores and always doing the ***"10-15 minutes standing after eating."*** And, to tell you, guys? It's indeed true that it can help us prevent to have a bigger stomach rolls. Go and try it, too! :) But, we all know that working out is not enough. We need to do some diet and diet means having a discipline and self-control in eating. Well, I'm a fan of foods but I usually eat less during nights as we all know that we don't need to do heavy tasks at nights but to sleep. And, it was so difficult for me to sleep during nights when my stomach was really full. So, I need to really eat less at night. Does ***cheat days*** rings a bell to you? Hahaha! I'm one of you, guys. 🤣 6. **Start investing.** Investing? This is the main reason why I, us, want to save money for the future. To be use in investing for our dreams. And, I'm also one of the many people who are doing some savings to invest in the future. ***But, on what specifically do I save for? For, what?*** **First .... for our own lot and our dream house.** Of course, before we build our dream house, we need to have our own lot (land). And, this is the reason why I want to start saving by this age of 20. Then it just happened that cryptocurrencies are now known. Such a big help for me, for us. I'm aiming for this goal to have our own lot before I graduate in college. *Ang taas kaagad, hano?* I know that it was really tough but, who knows? Maybe I can really have it by that time. Hopinggg! Then, I will proceed in aiming to have our own house. ***Second ... baking business.*** Another difficult goal, right? But, with the skills that Papa and our family have? It's not impossible. But again, we need finances to make it really happen. And, how to have it? Of course, by ***working and saving.*** ***Third, for our studies.*** Next school (academic) year, me and my two siblings will all go to school. By that time, I will be in my third year in college, brother will come back as a Grade 9 student, and lil sister will be on her last year in primary school. More expenses to go with and to fill it in? We need to grind even more. Saving money to be invested in our school needs is also a big thing. **7. Become a millionaire.** Oh, this one was even more difficult. But, who knows? HAHAHA! With the crypto on our side, we can. So, let's keep on hoping and praying that the value of BCH will soar high again to $1.5K again or even higher. Let's keep on hodling and hodling and hodling. 🙈 So, here it is! Remember that we can start reaching for our goals in every age. Either it be when we are on our teen age, 20's, 30's, or even older. What we need is to look for ourselves in the future. What we wanna achieve and be. Don't be tired if we can't be able to achieve all of it in one time. Being successful is not based on how long we became one, it's on the process and on how it will help us be a better versions of ourselves. **Setting goals everyday, regardless on how big nor small it is, will make us closer to our goals and dreams. 🥰💕** For more articles, just visit me here in read.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst** And, we can also have a chitchat in noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS!

Choosing Between The Two T: This or That This past few days, I've been seeing authors who were accepting this new challenge known as ***"This and That Challenge."*** The first article that I got to read with this trending topic is Ate @dziefem's **I will choose you** and followed by other authors in this platform. https://read.cash/@dziefem/i-will-choose-you-11e3c26c Yesterday, I got to read @kingofreview's **You Got Two Choices — This or That** wherein I found this mobile application called as Random Number Generator. I used this application in choosing questions for this challenge that I got from the site of #LIFEHACKS ( 89 This or That Questions ― Hard Choices to Make! - Life Hacks). This site provides 89 questions, but I just chose 10 questions of out this number. https://read.cash/@kingofreview/you-got-two-choices-this-or-that-13d88f1c In this article, I will be using both **English and Filipino** languages. It is for me to be able to express my thoughts and idea in a way that many can understand or relate. *Bear with me, kung medyo 'di funny 'tong article ko na ito. Alam 'nyo naman, mas lamang ang pagiging seryoso ko na tao. HAHAHA! XD* **And, here are the questions that I got.** **Morning or evening?** *Ano ba kasing gagawin at kailangan ko pang mamili? Pwede bang both tapos isama ko na din 'yung afternoon? HAHAHA! Exercise maghapon ba. Char. 🤣* Anyways, I prefer the afternoon. Mas marami kasi akong free time during this hours. Higa sa kwarto habang nag-iscroll sa phone. Mag-ingay nang walang humpay sa noise.cash, manood ng kung anu-ano sa FaceBook, magbasa ng mga R18 na stories sa Wattpad (HAHAHAHA!) at syempre. Pwede ba namang mawala ang pagtulog mula 3:00 hanggang sa magdilim na? Of course, not! 'Yung tipo ng pagtulog ba na nagagalit na naman si Mother Earth kasi 'di pa daw ako nakakapag-saing ng kanin. **Love or money?** *Sa tanong na 'to, 'yung mga nabasa ko sa Wattpad ang naiisip ko. 'Yung nainlove si boy or girl sa mayaman tapos ayaw sa kanila ng parents 'nung mayaman. Kaya oofferan sila ng cheque para layuan ang isa't-isa pero 'di sila papatinag. Ganito din kaya mangyayari sa amin nila Knight Velasquez? O ipaglalaban din namin ang isa't-isa?* **HAHAHA char lang.** Pag-ibig o pera? 'Syempre doon ako sa makakapagpasaya sa akin ng sobra, ***pag-ibig (love).*** Oo, mapapasaya din ako ng pera pero hanggang kailan? Kapag ba ubos na 'yung pera ko, magiging masaya pa ba ako? Pwedeng oo at pwede din na hindi. Pero sa ***love***? Siguradong, oo. Sabi nga ng nakararami, *"aanhin mo ang napaka-raming pera kung wala namang nagmamahal sayo ng totoo? Na kaya ka lang mahal ay dahil may pera ka?"* (Ay ansabe? *🙈*) At, napatunayan ko na kahit wala akong pera? Na kahit 'di kami mayaman? May mga tatanggap at mamahal pa din sa amin. That's the spirit of love! *wink* **Chocolate or vanilla?** I'll go to chocolate. It's mah favorite ih. Saka it has many uses kaya. Pwedeng dessert, pwedeng ihalo sa mga main dishes, pwedeng palaman, at pwede pang *kainin anywhere and everywhere like habang nasa kama, sa couch, or sa iba pang parte ng kabahayan* or pwede din naman na habang nanonood ng movies. **Car or motorcycle?** Parehong prone sa mga road accidents but I'll go with the car as long as na ***walang aircon***. Hahaha! Mahiluhin si self ih. Saka *mas* *convenient* lalo na kapag umuulan, edi 'di kami mababasa, 'diba? And, may mga carssssss kasi mga boyfies ko sa Wattpad world. Mga sosyalin pa nga eh like BMW and such, pero pinatanggal ko 'yung aircons kasi nakakahilo. Buti pumayag naman mga boyfies ko, well. Love kasi nila ako, *like super duper love*. ***Sanaol mahal. 🙄*** **T-Shirts or sweaters?** The truth is that I'm a big fan of sando. Karamihan sa mga damit ko ay walang sleeves, saka lang ako nagsusuot ng mga tees kapag wala na akong maisuot na sando or kapag sobrang lamig na. Sweaters? Saka lang ako nagsusuot ng ganito kapag may pasok. Lalo na kapag may 7AM class ako at 'dun pa sa lecture rooms sa college namin na may 4-6 aircons sa iisang lecture room lang? Tapos 'yung friends ko gustong-gusto pa na pumupwesto sa tapat ng ACs? Then, tatawanan ka kapag nakikita ka na nangangatog na? Omyyyy! HAHAHAHA! Kulang na lang magyelo ako sa lamig eh. Brrrr. 🥶 **Gold or silver?** ***Silverrrrrrrr.*** Mas bagay kasi sa akin ang silver saka mas madaling bagayan ng mga isusuot, for me. Saka baka akalain ng iba na mayaman ako tapos hoholdapin ako tapos 'di ko ibibigay tapos sasaktan na 'nya ako tapos dadating si Knight Velasquez tapos magkakatitigan kami tapos maiinlove 'sya sa'ken tapos magiging kami tapos hahadlang 'yung tatay 'nya at papahirapan kami tapos eeksena si SM tapos makikipaghiwalay 'sya sa'ken pero babalik 'din kasi ayaw 'nya akong nakikita na nasasaktan tapos ***kyaaaaaah!!!!*** HAHAHAHA! XD Lawak ng imagination mo, self. Napaka-advanced mo pang mag-isip? Sinong magkakagusto sa'yo? 🙄🤨 **Piercings or tattoos?** Pwedeng both? Hahaha. Nakaka-hawt kayang tignan kapag maraming tattoos then may piercing pa. Ehermmm. Pero seryoso, 'di ko bet na magpa-tattoo or even piercings. Mas gusto ko kasi na mas maaliwalas at presentable akong tingnan. Pero (2) okay lang din naman for me kung may tattoo or piercings ang isang tao, it's their preferences. Who am I to stop nor judge them, right? :) **Skates or bike?** Dito talaga ako natawa. Kasi, seryoso ba? Ito? Itatanong sa isang babae na ni 'di marunong mag-bike, skates pa kaya? 🤣 Oh noooo. Kawawa naman ang katawang lupa ko. HAHAHA! :D Buti sana kung may magtuturo at sasalo sa'ken with eight pack abs. XD **TV Shows or movies?** I will go on the movies. Nasabi ko na ba na fan na fan ako ng mga movies? Lalo na 'yung mga foreign movies with a genres of horror, mystery and thriller, at romance. Then, with foods pa like popcorns, fries, fishballs, and such. Yum yum yummmm! **Sitting or standing?** *Pwede bang both ulit? Hahaha!* Okay lang naman sa akin ang sitting pero masakit kasi sa butt kapag nakaupo ng matagal kaya need na tumayo din paminsan-minsan. Then, ganoon din naman sa standing. Nakaka-ngawit kaya uupo din paminsan-minsan. Pero, sige na nga. ***Standing*** na lang, baka sakaling tumangkad pa ako. Kahit na sabi nila kapag nag-18 years old na daw at 'di pa din tumatangkad? Wala ng pag-asa. 🤦‍♀️ So, ayunnn. Dito na nagtatapos ang aking article na puro sabaw. HAHAHAH! Hanggang sa susunod na artikulo, mga kaigan!!!!

@imanagrcltrst 21 July 2021

She Turned Eleven I can still remember the night when I got known about our Mother carrying our little sibling inside her womb. It was a year before Mama and Papa met a road accident. I was just a 10-year old kid that time who was studying on her fourth grade in primary school. Meanwhile, my 17-year old brother was just 7-year old by that time. It was a night wherein I was still in the process of learning on how to wash our dishes in the sink. I was along with Papa when he whispered this words to me, ***"may ading ka na."*** (English: *"you already had a little sibling."*) And I was like, ***what?*** Because, I can't still digest the words he said. Then he added, ***"buntis si Mama 'nyo."*** (English: *"Your Mama is pregnant."*) I was so happy that time. Finally, I will have another sibling again. As far as I remember, I immediately said it to my little brother who was also so happy as he will have another playmate. Well, because I was not that playful when I turned by the age of ten. **After nine months .....** On the night of the **twentieth day of July, year 2010**, our brave Mother had given birth to a very healthy and a bouncing **baby girl**. Inside the labor room of one of the hospitals in our province, a smooth and pleasing cries came out from a baby girl. It came out from the fifth member of our family, ***our little sister.*** I can still remember how I helped in taking care of her, especially when Papa and Mama was not around as they need to work in a bakery, five barangays away from our home. Lola was the one who was taking good care of us. After school hours, I will immediately go home. To clean a lot of her dirty and used feeding bottles. ***I mean, a lot of it.*** She has **less than fifty** feeding bottles that time, in different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. *(I just realized by now on how tiring it is. HAHAHA!)* Most of the time, she was asleep when I was going home. So, I will do the cleaning of the house so that I can play with her after I do my home works. *Sipag ko no? :D* *Naalala ko pa na minsan pinapagalitan ko 'sya kapag ayaw 'nyang matulog. Kasi gusto kong makipag-laro sa mga pinsan namin. To the point na nasisigawan ko 'sya.* *Kapag naaalala ko 'to?* ***Sobra akong nagi-guilty.*** *Kasi, bakit ko 'sya kailangang sigawan? When in fact, it was not her fault that she can't sleep yet. And, that she was literally so little that time.* *So, I started making it up when I got matured little by little. Maybe I was* ***11 or 12-year old*** *that time. I played with her every time I have a free time, prioritized her and lil bro more than my friends, comb and tie her hair, attend her and lil bro's meetings when Mama can't come, and more.* Until the three of us grow along with each other, our bond as a siblings gets ***tighter and stronger.*** We got closed to each other ***so much.*** ***So close to the point that ...*** *I'm bringing them (or one of them) whenever I'll go in some places especially when there were no one to look for them.* Lil sis always come with me whenever I'll go in the supermarket to buy ingredients for my dishes in school. *I graduated as a Home Economics student in Senior High School.* I always keeps in mid to keep her safe whenever we'll go there. *Naaalala ko pa na lagi ko 'syang kinakandong kapag sasakay ng xlt (jeep) para isang bayad lang. Hahaha! Then dapat lagi akong may extrang pera para mabibilhan ko 'sya ng meryenda.* If there was no pandemic and there were no virus circulating around, I'm sure that she was always going with me. ***Maka-Ate 'sila ni Kuya 'nya ih. Soooobra.*** **After more than a decade ....** I was now a fine lady (for me!) in the age of 20-year old (going 21 this September) and my little brother was now 17-year old (will turn 18 this October). Looking so manly and tall, *much more taller than me. XD* And, that baby girl eleven years ago? Just turned **eleven** yesterday, on the *twentieth day of July, year 2021.* Here's how she looks like now. So tall that she nearly get's near my and Mama's height. So pretty and so much into fashion, *kikay* for short. On the 19th day of July, a day before her birthday, we were teasing her that she will have no foods presented on her birthday on the next day. She was laughing with us but I know that ***she's hoping*****.** And, she said that, *"ipaghahanda kaya ako ni Ate."* Then, I was like, *"may pinatago ka bang pera sa'ken?"* Then, I laughed. No one knows that I had kept some money for her day. **No one, but .... only me.** The day that she was born came. She stayed with me in bed for more than an hour before we get up from the bed. Everybody in the house greeted her ... but no one told her that she will have her birthday presents. **No one ... even our parents.** Because they don't have enough money. Afternoon came, I asked Mama and Papa to go in the market after we ate our lunch. Why? ***Because I will buy her some foods.*** So, we prepared and go. We first bought the veggies and the chicken meat in our city's wet market. Then proceed to buying the noodles and other ingredients. And, when we are near to our family's service vehicle, I said this to Mama, "***Ma, una ka na. May bibilhin lang ako 'dun."*** (English: *"Mama, you go there first. I will just buy something in there."*) No one in the family knows that I'm gonna buy lil sis a cake, ***no one but just me and you guys in Noise.cash.*** After 2-3 minutes of walking, I got in inside the Goldilocks' store. I go near to look for the cake that was fitted in my budget, and tadaaaa! I finally had chosen a cake for her, though it was just a cake roll. Mama and Papa doesn't know that I will buy a cake. But, Mama said when we are on the way at the house that she was thinking on where did I go because I already took a minutes. And that she even asked Papa that maybe I bought a cake. And, yeah. She was right. HAHA! When we got home, Tita was outside and shout this, *"Net, may cake ka."* (They used to call her 'Net', short for '*Venice.'*) And, I saw that happiness in her eyes. So much happiness. That when I (we) was busy preparing the ingredients, she hugged me and said, ***"Thank you, Ate!"*** So, after more than an hour of preparing and cooking. Eating time was next in line. ***We got ...*** Sopas and Pansit. (One of the most common Filipino celebration foods) Chocolate cake. Some drinks. I was also planning to buy some Filipino delicacies like cassava cake and biko, but the heavy rain won't let me. But, hey. We got a cutie little girl (our 3-year old cousin) who keeps on dipping her fingers in the icing and shoving it on her little mouth. And, here is me. Just ate two slices of cake and just eat some pansit after I wash the dishes. Since that I was not fond of posting a celebration greeting on FaceBook, I just posted it as my '*my day.'* As of now, I already had received a hundreds of reactions (both hearts and likes) and random replies with greetings especially from our friends and relatives in other places. And, Tita do the posting after two hours. Thank you BCH along with both noise.cash and read.cash for helping me make this happens. I'm indeed soooo grateful! :) Again, HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY, SISTAH! LOVE YAHHH! <3 Remember that Ate and the whole fam will always love and support you. Either you want to be a nurse, an engineer or architect, a fashion designer, and now a teacher. Just like what you had said. Continue to soar high and dreaming.

Never Have I Ever: My Edition! In the past few days, I've been seeing many authors promoting their articles in Noise.cash about this challenge which was called as **"Never Have I Ever Challenge".** So, me as a supportive co-user of both Noise.cash and read.cash do read their articles. And, I can say that all articles was great and indeed gave an enjoyable reading time to all who will read it. I was planning to do this challenge a day after it was became popular as a topic. But, things happened so I was not able to write mine immediately. But, I am not that late, right? Now is the time to write my entry for this challenge. So, I will now say, ***"Hashtag Challenge Accepted!"*** I was expecting that I might make you, guys, laugh because I know that there was a big possibilities that I might share some of my embarrassing moments. So, bear with me. HAHA! :D ***Never Have I Ever .....*** **Watch a horror movie.** Oh! It was the first one but I will technically say that *"I watched horror movies a loooot!"* Aside from romantic movies (like Lucifer and all), I'm also a great fan of horror and mystery ones. Such as the ***Wrong Turn, Green Inferno, Chuckie, Sabrina, Anabelle, and many more to mention.*** Especially those true to life movies? Like The Conjuring, The Vatican Tapes, and The Nun? Omoooo. I always feel an extreme excitement whenever I'm hearing these movie titles. I'm not a fan of movies with a flow of *"a teenage boy and girl fell in love with each other."* It sounds so cliché. I don't know why but I got bored watching movies with this flow. I prefer those movies who will make me shout while saying, *"runnnnn! 'Wag kang pabebe. Tumakbo ka na nang mabilis." 😆* **Sources:** Digital Spy, The Indian Express, Heaven of Horror **Done a duck selfie.** I'm not a selfie kind of person but when I was in Grade 9? I had this circle of friends who was so fond of taking selfies and groupies. So, okay. I will join you. And, this selfie which was called as ***duck selfie*** or ***duck face***? I had done it! I can't find one of our groupies with this kind of selfie but I can imagine my face, clearly. And, I can't help but to silently laugh because I can see my epic face in my mind. Hahaha! **Tried a YouTube challenge and failed miserably.** Oh! I am a very shy person so, no. I haven't done any YouTube challenges aside from those challenges that was popularized in FaceBook. **Had a drink come out from my nose.** Had experienced it soooo many times! It mostly goes like this. You know those times wherein we are having a good time with our friends or family? I am holding a glass of water while drinking it when someone will suddenly throw some jokes and I will tend to suddenly laugh, too. And, booom! The water that I was drinking won't go inside my throat but will go up and the water will start to flow outside my noise. After that, I will cough and nearly cry because it stings so much. And, my friends or family? They will just laugh at me. You know this time? Oh, I know you do. I just wanna walkout and punch them. Hahaha! Kidding. Aside from this, I often drunk water from the pool whenever we'll have a swimming gala. Uwu. It stings a lot. **Eaten a food that already thrown away.** Haven't yet tried this one and I think that I can't do it. I have this very sensitive nose that will cringed immediately when I smelled something that are not in good condition. But, to tell you the truth? I had experienced to eat '*panis* *na foods*' at home. It was a morning when I decided to eat my breakfast through our excess meal last night. It was Tinolang manok so I was indeed excited, it's my favorite ey. So, I started eating but I stopped chewing when I had eaten two spoonful of rice with chicken and soup. Why? I just tasted something sour in my tongue. So, I asked Mama to check it and found out that it was not okay to be eaten. Uwuuu. I nearly vomit that time. But, in today's time, many people were eating foods that are thrown away. People like homeless people or living a squatter areas? They were getting leftover foods from restaurants, will clean it and cook it again. After that, they will either sell it or eat it as their meals. This is what we called as ***"pagpag."*** Sounds familiar, right? **Had a spit out food because it tastes so bad.** Nope, I have this character of smelling any food first before I tasted it. If my nose says that it smells good, then I'll eat it. *Arte, noh? 😆* But, I have experienced spitting out foods when I am sick. Just during this times. **Caught picking my nose in public.** OMG! Haven't done picking my nose in public and caught while doing it as well. I was so scared that someone will caught me while doing it and I don't want to be embarrassed because of it. Whenever that I have a free time, that's the time that I will check my nose for me to avoid doing it in the public. *Baka kapag nahuli ako, sabihin pa na ang dugyot ko. HAHAHA!* **Told a joke and nobody laugh.** Haha, yeah. Had so many experience with it. It's indeed embarrassing and my friends or colleagues will say "**waley"** or they will look at me like I did something terrible. But, what can I do? I was not a funny type of person. Whenever that I'll throw some jokes but no one will laugh? I'll just keep silent and wait for the right time to throw some jokes again. Who knows, time will come that there will be someone who will laugh on my jokes and will hurt their stomachs while laughing so hard. *Meron nga kaya? :D* **Gone out wearing pajamas.** Had done it so many timessss! Just like in nights that Mama or Papa will asked me to buy something on the store nearby and I'm already in my PJs? I won't change and will just go out wearing my pajamas. There was also a time that I presented my case study in our Agri-management class that I was wearing my sleep attire. It was done before 7:00 in the morning, so what do you expect? Hahaha. I was so lazy to take a bath early in the morning especially when the breeze was so cold. **Created an Instagram account.** I know that most of us has our own Instagram account. For what purposes? Either it be for social interaction, it's on trend, for business, or for stalking our crushes. XD But the truth is? I don't have one. Yes, I don't have an IG account. Does it makes me more unique? Haha! I was satisfied with my Facebook account and to tell you again? I just created a Twitter account because of Noise.cash. :D Maybe you would want to read my previous articles: **Another Goal Unlocked: So Happy!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/another-goal-unlocked-so-happy-7843668a **My July Goals: What I Want To Achieve This Month?** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-july-goals-what-i-want-to-achieve-this-month-f7105460 **Please, Come Back!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/please-come-back-e87b6ca2 **Unboxing My Goals** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/unboxing-my-goals-980ed60a **Questions: They Are Sailing On My Mind** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/questions-they-are-sailing-on-my-mind-82fd7ed5 **My First Love, My Protector, My Papa** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-first-love-my-protector-my-papa-f237a22e **"My flaws are not my fate!"** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-flaws-are-not-my-fate-5412efca **Finally, I'm Back!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6 **Or let's have a chitchat and become a friends in Noise.cash:** imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! :)

Another Goal Unlocked: So Happy! Hello, hello, helloooo! You're future licensed Agriculturist is back. If I will not be that lucky, being my crush's crush is already enough. Just kidding. Haha! XD In my previous articles, I had mentioned and featured my goals for this year of 2021. **Here they are:** ***Buy my own printer.*** ***Buy new phone for me and my brother.*** ***Start printing business at home.*** ***Start a small baking business with Papa.*** ***Finance my Papa's, Mama's, and my siblings' birthdays.*** ***Have five or more regular clients on my tutorial sessions.*** ***Deposit at least seven thousand (Php 7,000.00) on my bank account before this year ends.*** ***Be a Academic Scholar for this whole academic year.*** ***Finish paying Papa's motorcycle.*** ***Earn thousand pesos on my Read.cash and Noise.cash accounts.*** As of the 25th day of June, present year, I had achieve my very first goal. And, what is it? Tadaaaa! A phone. It is a brand new **Vivo Y20i phone** with a color of **nebula blue** and has a **3GB RAM and 64GB storage**. Perfect for taking photos, playing games, and more. I want to reveal this goal that I just had unlocked this morning (well maybe, some of you had already know it. Haha), but lemme just tell you, guys, a short story first and foremost. I was just an eighteen year old girl when I took the College Admission Test (CAT) in my dream university, the **Central Luzon State University**. Even though it was just a State University, it still offers a good quality education. ***It has nine major colleges, the:*** College of Agriculture (CAg) College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) College of Education (CEd) College of Engineering (CEn) College of Fisheries (CF) College of Home Science and Industry (CHSI) College of Science (CS) College of Veterinary Science and Medicine (CVSM) I chose **Bachelor of Science in Agriculture** as my first choice of course and **Bachelor of Science in Food Technology** as my second choice. It was on **January 12, 2019** *(1:00-4:00PM)* when I took this exam. I was assigned on the **College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA)**, **room 806**, **seat no. 6**. I was so nervous by this time. I do not take some reviews because according to my Uncle who also graduated in our university, the examination was more on general information. Those lessons that was tackled in both Junior High and Senior High School. So, I calmed myself and answer with all I can. Then, the releasing of results has came. It was exactly on our graduation day *(April 05, 2019)* in Senior High. The results was uploaded in CLSU's website after our baccalaureate. I do not have the load that time, so I waited 'till we got home. Mama's younger sister opened it for me. At first, I thought that I didn't passed because my name was not on the list. I nearly cried that time, but that file was for **students on the waiting list**. OMG! So, we search for the file containing the names of the qualifiers. And, my heart just tamped in so much happiness. **My name is on the qualifier's list!** I was also qualified to take my first and dream course and was included in the quota. *And, I cried totally.* On the first Monday of August, 2019, my first year in college had started. *New friends, new environment, new professors and instructors, another adjustment.* I was practicing independency since I was in high school, so I just practiced it even more in my first year. College life was not easy like in high school and elementary. It was not easy and will never be easy. But, I surrounded myself with people who will help me and make my college life easy and happy. ***Thanks to all of my friends out there! :)*** First semester of the Academic Year 2019-2020 has ended. Time to say "Hello!" to second semester. Time to get look for our grades. My block mates was talking about who qualified as Academic Scholar. Then, I asked myself, *"what are they talking about?"* and I asked one of my closest friends on what is it all about. It is about those who has a remark of **University Scholar (US)**, **College Scholar (CS)**, and **Dean's Lister (DL)** on their Certificate of Grades (COG). Yes, I was aware of the Dean's Lister but not with the US nor CS. I guess, I was absent-minded on this thing? Hahaha! And, me being curious. I asked my friend one more time on how to be one of the Academic Scholars. It was based on the Grade Point Average (GPA) of the students in every semester. ***Here it is:*** **Dean's Lister** (written as ** in our COG)**:** GPA of 1.76-2.00 **College Scholar:** GPA of 1.51-1.75 **University Scholar:** GPA of 1.50 and below And, when I looked at my COG, no remarks was written. No Col. Scholar nor Univ. Scholar or even ** written on my COG. But, it doesn't made me sad. I felt motivated and inspired. When I got to know about this thing, I strive even more. Not to be on top like I used to be when I was in elementary and high school. But, I was aiming to be one of the Academic Scholars of our university. Again, not for me to be on top. But, for the **incentives**. Honestly talking, I was really after it. We were in a deep financial problem that time, Papa was sick and jobless. Mama's income was not enough, so I need to think of a way to help them. To be able to fill my needs in school. So, I strive . I studied harder and it was all worth it. SO MUCHHH! ****Second semester (A.Y. 2019-2020)**** I got a GPA of **1.69** and I'm a first time Academic Scholar, specifically **College Scholar.** When I see this, I felt so overwhelmed and satisfied. Yes, maybe the pandemic had something to do with this but for me? I did my best, even there was still no pandemic or a virus circulating around and harming us. After this, I added it to my goals. For me to maintain it because it helps us a lot, especially financially. I was aiming to be one of the Academic Scholars for the whole Academic Year 2020-2021 (both first and second semester), wherein I was already in my second year in college. Now, let's proceed to this goal that I am talking about . ***Let's gooooo!*** ****First semester (A.Y. 2020-2021)**** I had seven subjects for this semester, one major subject and six minor subjects (but, seems like minor subjects are the major ones. Haha! I know that you, guys, know it. XD). Some of this subjects was divided into two, lecture and laboratory classes. Overall, we have seven lecture subjects and two laboratory subjects and I had 20 units this semester. And, when I had read the announcement saying that our COG was now available. I immediately asked Mama to pay for it through LandBank (yes, it has a payment. Be it a face-to-face or a remote learning mode.). After that, I asked our college's Records-In-Charge (RIC) to inquire for my COG and I also attached my proof of payment. The next day, around 8:00 in the morning, an E-mail was sent to me. It is from our RIC and it contains my COG for the first semester. And, tadaaa! I got a GPA of **1.44**. Perfect to be qualified as a **University Scholar.** One more semester and I will get to know if I will unlock this goal of mine or not. ****Second semester (A.Y. 2020-2021)**** This semester was even harder and difficult for us. We got to chose for our major and specialization wherein we will focus on it on this semester. I chose to apply for **Crop Protection major** and **specialization of Plant Pathology** (Future Plant Doctor). To even make sure, I also applied for another major which is the *Crop Science, specialization of horticulture.* Th good news is that I got in on this two majors, but I still choose **Crop Protection**. *It is where my heart was*. :D Another sets of subjects and we got twelve of it (eight lecture subjects, four laboratory subjects). Unlike the previous semester, I had 24 units. It was harder than the last sem. We got sets of researches and thesis study (both by group and individual), a lot of activities, and performances. Difficult but I still managed to finish it all. Just yesterday, our grades was now available on our university's Student Portal. So, I immediately accessed it. As expected, the system crashed because it can't handle all the students who was trying to access in the same time. I had to wait for hours until I got to see my grades. Just a list but not the official COG. I downloaded it but I find it difficult to open. So, I wait and just continue it after I woke up this morning. And, tada againnn! ***I finally seen it.*** This time, I got a GPA of **1.51**. Perfect to be qualified as a **College Scholar.** Though I am not a University Scholar anymore, it's still fine with me. As long as I do not have a failing grades nor a 'warning' as my status? It's definitely okay. Also, being a Academic Scholar from day 1 to the last of of being a college student? It's not easy. Specially with my course. I'm not a grade conscious. It's okay if I got a low scores on my quizzes, activities, or exams. I often laugh at it with my friends. But, since that I has a scholarship that has a maintaining grades, I need to strive and study harder. I don't wanna lose my scholarship, y'know. Just like on how I don't want to lose him. Haha! XD When I tend to overcome and surpass the maintaining grades on my main (?) scholarship, I get to maintain my status as an Academic Scholar. Looks like I'm hitting two birds in just one stone. :D **Me to myself:** I'm so proud of you, selffff! You're parents and family are, too. Congratulations for this achievement and a job well-done to you and your hardworks. You just need to take four semesters and you got it all in hands. PADAYONNNN! PADAYON FUTURE LICENSED AGRICULTURIST! Hey you! I know you have something to show. Don't be afraid, okay? Show them what you've got. Don't mind those who doesn't believe in you and your capabilities. Just you, believing yourself, can help you be successful and in achieving whatever goals and dreams you have.

My July Goals: What I Want To Achieve This Month? Hello, hello, hello! Another month has started days ago. Another month of both blessings and challenges. Nonetheless, we can still make it up. We must make this month a fruitful and a productive one, despite of all the hindrances we've been encountering and will meet in the process. ***So, how to make it a fruitful and a productive one?*** We can make a list, containing the things that we want to achieve. ***Our goals.*** *And, how can be obtain it all?* Move and make an actions. Do not let laziness to eat our system and stop us from being productive. I've been reading many articles about their own sets of goals for this month of July. So, I am here in front of my laptop and writing my monthly goals. I'm not that late to have mine, right? Haha! **Keep on scrolling down to see my goals.** Here's my list of my goals. **Finance little sister's 11th birthday.** My little sister will turn eleven years old this coming July 20. And, I'm planning to throw a simple birthday celebration for her. It's been so long since she last had her birthday cake, so I was planning to buy her a cake and some foods to be eaten at home. *If I could achieve it, it'll be my biggest achievement for this month! :)* **Earn at least:** **(A) One thousand pesos in Noise.cash** **(B) $5-$8 in read.cash** Since that I was still a newbie in this writing platform, read.cash, (Am I? XD), I will start on aiming from this amount. Not that high nor big, but it'll still make me feel motivated in writing. **Start upvoting articles/comments in read.cash.** I was receiving upvotes from other users of this platform and I'm looking forward on me, upvoting their articles or comments, too. I wasn't yet doing it now but I'm already feeling the satisfaction and overflowing happiness. Since that I was not earning that big here, please do bear for the amounts that I can give. Hihi! I'll make it up, soonest. :) **Arrange my scholarship requirements for Midterm Summer Class benefits.** I had shared in my previous article that I am a scholar. As an incoming third year college next academic year, we are required to take a Midterm Summer Class which was for our bridging. It means that no vacation for me. Huhuhu! And, the private company that I was in as a scholar was also giving benefits for Summer Class, if it is required. So technically, I was one of it. And, I need to arrange my requirements (Certificate of Grades for second semester, Certificate of Registration for MSC, and a checklist) and I must submit all of it before the MSC ends, which was on July 17 to be able to get those benefits. So, good luck for me! Haha. **Get my Certificate of Grades for second semester.** Certificate of Grades (COG) was one of my scholarship requirements. I need to request for it to the Office of Admissions in our university through our college's Records-In-Charge (RIC). To be able to have it, I need to pay for it first then send a proof of payment to our RIC. Than, tadaaaa! They will now send it to me. *Hope, I can have it ahead of time! *cross fingers** **Start offering tutorials for next school year.** Since last year, specifically on September 2020, I started my own tutorial for elementary students in our community. I had two regular clients which was from a different private schools in our city. It helped me a lot in providing our needs in school and some of the necessities at home. So, yeah! Their schooling has ended on the last week of April and I'm expecting that they will start another school year by this month or in August. In that, I will start offering tutorials again. Looking forward for more clients (tutees)! **Throw a small giveaway for my 6th month in Noise.cash.** I joined Noise.cash few days after I made my very first account here in read.cash, this January 2021. *I forgot the specific date. Sorryyyy! :D* In that, I am planning to throw a small and simple giveaway. It'll be the first time since I became an active user of Noise.cash months ago. **Start buying tools for our small baking business.** It is one of my goals for this year, to start a small baking business with Papa. And, I wanna do this to somehow ease all the negativities within himself. *I know Papa will be happy doing this business.* To be able to start this business, we need capital and all the things like tools, utensils, and equipment that we need. And, I will start buying those things by this month. Little by little. Making our goals into reality is not easy, it will not be like an easy-peasy. But, because we want to achieve it? Because of our will, determination, and dedication? It will be easy. So, let's do this! **Me to myself:** You can do it, self! I know that you can. FIGHTINGGGG! :) Maybe you would want to read my previous articles: Please, Come Back!: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/please-come-back-e87b6ca2 Unboxing My Goals: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/unboxing-my-goals-980ed60a** Questions: They Are Sailing On My Mind: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/questions-they-are-sailing-on-my-mind-82fd7ed5** My First Love, My Protector, My Papa: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-first-love-my-protector-my-papa-f237a22e** 'My Flaws Are Not My Fate": **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-flaws-are-not-my-fate-5412efca** Finally, I'm Back!: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6** **Or let's have a chitchat and become a friends in Noise.cash:** imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! :)

Please, Come Back! Do you have that someone who had leave you? Do you have someone who was on your side physically but can't feel their presence? Or maybe, can still feel their presence but it feels so different. So different from what it was before. Do you wish for them to come back? Me? I and our family was on the second one. And, like you, I was really hoping and dreaming for this person to come back to us. **What am I talking about?** Well, let me share what it was happening in our family right now. Though it was a family matter, I can't think of someone who I want to share it with. So, let me just share it with you, guys. Because I believe that ... *sharing something to a stranger/s was sometimes more comfortable.* ***Here it goes....*** *We are five in the family; Papa, Mama, me, my little brother and sister.* Before, our family was so happy. Even though we do not have a lot of money, we can still survive. Most of the time, we eat together while having a chitchat with each other. Talking about a certain topics and sharing what had happened in our lives as we often had a day of being not together. Papa will leave to work the whole day, I and lil sis was out to attend my classes in a University and lil sis was on her school, and Mama and lil bro was left on the house doing household chores and earning money inside the house. Even though Mama and Papa earned a little money, they can still managed to give our needs and make us attend school. They were so hard working, determined, and dedicated. ***But, it was before.*** Papa was the best man I had ever met and had in my life. He was my first love, the first man who love and accepted me along with my siblings. He was the first man who smiled at me. The first man who did his best for me to have all the best and good things that this life and world can offer. Papa and Mama married each other way back in the year of 1999, I was still on Mama's womb by that time. Still a blood who can't live without her, until now. When they got married, Papa immediately use the money they got during their wedding to built a small house beside our grandparents' house. It was the same house wherein we are still living by now, the house who seen all the good and difficult things we've been through, the house we used to laugh our minds out, the house where we built our dreams together, and the house that we prefer to call as ***our home.*** Papa was so hard working. He won't let a day to pass without him earning a money. He works as a baker during Mondays to Saturdays and as a tricycle driver during his day-offs. He worked in a bakery for over two decades and five years. He was so lively before, so dedicated and determined, so full of positivities and dreams, so easy to be with, so talkative, so supportive. ***But, it was before.... Not until, he lost his beloved work.*** Papa was one of those many persons with disabilities (PWDs), he can't walk properly. His joint on his left thigh was already broken (if you had already read my article featuring Papa on Father's Day, you would know why). *Now, let me tell you why he lost his work.* I was on my first year (first semester) in college, last 2019, when Papa suddenly felt this difficulties. Difficulty to stand by himself and walk, to pee, to do everything he used to do. His thigh ached and hurts so much, had a fever every other day, can't eat like he used to before, not lively and energetic anymore. It started one of the days in the month of October, 2019. He can't go to his work for over a ***three months.*** His employer was asking if when can he come back to work because they need a master baker to do the work but Papa can't say a date. Because his condition gets worse and even worst as days passes by. We can't make him go to a check-up because Mama was just the one who works for us and her earning wasn't even enough to fill in our daily needs. Not enough to give me my eighty pesos daily allowance. Until, he decided to come back to his work, but sadly, his employer won't let him. **His employer had fired him, find another man to do his works, and he lost his job after.** After that, he had been jobless. It was around the month of December when he started being jobless and until now, he still was. Not totally jobless, but looks like it. After he became jobless, he also changed. And, it saddens me. Real good. So much. ***He changed.*** ***He became a sad and silent man.*** He still laugh with us, but it already feels so different. ***He became even more serious.*** ***His pride even become higher and higher.*** ***He became a hot-headed man.*** ***He became a different person.*** Mama was becoming stress in life. She won't say it, but I can feel it. She can't make our family live because of her little earnings as a laundry washer. She can't but she's doing her best to make us survive everyday. **But....** ***Papa seems to not care.*** ***Papa won't still work even he can work regularly as a tricycle driver.*** ***He can .... but, he don't want to.*** *He's gone. My Papa is gone, not physically but he's gone.* ***Gone my Papa who would do his very best for our family.*** ***My Papa who will do her best to make me go to school.*** ***My Papa who would be very willing to drive me to our school/University when it was difficult for me to commute or if I was feeling lazy to do commuting.*** ***My Papa who was very willing to cook for us, to laugh with us.*** ***My Papa who was so lively and easy to talk to.*** ***My Papa who was so patient with everything he will do.*** ***My Papa who will make our needs as his priority than his motor and other luxuries.*** ***My Papa who was so full of love, happiness, hope, care, and dreams.*** He's gone. And, it was him now. ***So full of pride.*** ***So hot-headed.*** ***Will say what he want to say.*** ***Do not want to work.*** ***Will use all of his money to his motor.*** Seems like he don't care anymore if we have something to eat or nothing. There were a time before that he and Mama had an argument. It was being intense so I had to interfere, I had a strong face that time, not until. **Not until, he said this...** *"Ganiyan naman kayo eh. Mga nakapag-aral at edukado kasi kayo."* (English: That's how you are. Because you are educated.) I was so hurt when he had said this. My tears immediately polled in my eyes. My heart aches so much. So, I had said this to him: *"Tandaan mo 'yang sinabi mo sa'ken."* (Then, I go to my room after and won't go out until it was already dinner. Just keep on crying while scrolling down on my phone.) I was so hurt that time, so hurt that no word can describe what I had felt. I have so many questions that time, so many why's and how's. He was the top person (along with Mama) who wants me to finish my studies and be successful, so why? Why did he tell that? And, how did he managed to tell those phrase? Does he don't care about our feelings anymore? My feelings? He don't eat with us on dinner, that very same day until lunch the next day. He don't talk to me, he don't want to because his pride was so high. So high that I can reach it anymore. ***He was the one who hurt my feeling but he's also the one who avoids me.*** Why? Even I, don't know. So, I hugged him when he was cooking. But, he don't hug me back. Even though he don't hug be back, I still said my sorry and begged him to talk to me again. ***He's the one who hurts me with his words, but I was the one who was begging.*** Why? Simply because I can't take it, my soft and fragile heart can't take it. Maybe, he got hurt too seeing his first born crying so hard, so he hug me back. Too tight. And, there. *I felt I'm in peace again. Being inside his arms made me feel* ***I'm home again.*** Months had passed. His attitude becomes worst, he gets pissed in small things immediately. No weeks would passed without them (Mama and Papa) arguing with each other. A simple talk with a little (so little) misunderstanding will led to an argument. **Until, it happened again...** Last Monday during lunch, we are still talking happily while eating. We was planning to go with my friend's Aunt's burial. Papa was doing some painting on his headlight's cover while I and Mama was preparing ourselves. When Papa finished doing that thing, Mama checked if it was okay to be touch because she will placed it to another area to avoid children from touching it. She thought that it was okay but, the tip of her thumb leaves a mark on it. Which made Papa pissed and angry. He paint it again but his emotions was so intense that it ate him up. *He throws the headlight cover on the floor. Go inside the house and hit it with a hammer. Leaving it so broken, so broken that it won't be used again.* Until now, I can still hear inside my head how Mama's voice broke while saying that Papa was so hot-headed. I know she cried inside our room, I know it. And, it hurts me. It was already near in two day since that happened. He talks to us (his children), but not to Mama. Mama was the one who always reached him out whenever they had a misunderstandings or arguments, but not this time. Maybe, she was waiting for Papa to do it. ***Even just once....*** Papa has changed. He was not the Papa we used to know. He changed .... he changed a lot. I was thinking on how, how he changed. Is it because he lost his work? Or is it because he was already aging and getting older? *You know, elders who was changing their characters when they gets old.* I have so many questions that I wanna asked him, but I don't have the courage. *The courage to ask him and to face him being pissed at my simple questions.* I wanna ask him these: ***Where is my Papa? Our Papa? Mama's love of her life?*** Because we already miss you, so much! ***Why are you changing yourself? When will our old Papa come back?*** ***Do you have a problems that why you are changing?*** You can share it to us. ***Do you still want to work?*** Because we need your help. I need your help. I will be on my third year of college next academic year, more expenses. And, I can't do it alone. Or maybe, he was already tired .... *Tired of working.* *Tired of what kind of life we have.* *Tired of dreaming.* Tired of working to achieve our dreams. But, I just want one thing. And that is, Papa to finally come back to us. So, please. **Come back now, Papa! Come back to us now. Because we feels so incomplete. Come back because we are waiting and will still be waiting for you.** Maybe you would want to read my previous articles: Unboxing My Goals: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/unboxing-my-goals-980ed60a Questions: They Are Sailing On My Mind: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/questions-they-are-sailing-on-my-mind-82fd7ed5** My First Love, My Protector, My Papa: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-first-love-my-protector-my-papa-f237a22e** 'My Flaws Are Not My Fate": **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-flaws-are-not-my-fate-5412efca** Finally, I'm Back!: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6** Or let's have a chitchat and become a friends in Noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! :)

@imanagrcltrst 27 June 2021

Unboxing My Goals Hiiiiii! It's me, again and again and again. I'm gonna write an article again. This time, I'm gonna share the goals that I want to achieve this 2021 and the goals that I had already achieved. I had already shared my 2021 Goals on my first account here in read.cash, so I'll just briefly enumerate it all. I had to add some goals, because my mind keeps on changing its decisions. Don't know with it. Haha! Before we proceed to my goals, let me tell you, guys, where did I spend my PhP 20,000.00 ($411.99) scholarship allowance. **And, here it goessss!** I was a scholar of a private company here in our country. I started being one when I was in my first semester of my first year in college and now? I'm already a second year college student who was taking my Midterm Summer Class. Every semester we receives benefits including our allowance and a set of clothing (such as blouses/polos, pants, bags, shoes, etcetera). Such a blessing, right? Right. Especially to a striving student like me. But, the question is: **Where did I spent it?** *Continue scrolling down to see.* ***PhP 4,500.00 ($92.70)*** I spent it to Papa's motorcycle. Since, he doesn't have a regular job right now, we (Papa, Mama, and I) was helping each other to pay the remaining 16 months of it. As of now, we just have 7 months to pay. And, I had given an advance payment for the next 3 months, July to September, (PhP 1,520.00 a month) which just left us with 4 remaining months. Sounds good, right? :) Hoping for us to finish it before the year ends. *crossed fingers* ***PhP 2,000.00 ($41.20)*** Well, every time that I was earning or having a money, it was just normal for me to buy us some stocks at home especially foods! FOOD IS LIFE, EH. Haha! Also, it seems like I was incomplete without doing it. Hahaha! ***PhP 1,500.00 ($30.90)*** Our neighbor sold their old television (not the flatscreen one) to us. Since that we don't have the money that time, she just offer us to pay it some other day. So, when I got my money, I payed it immediately. Though, it's not my responsibility, I want to save up something for our family. And, I'm starting it with this! :) ***PhP 1,500.00 ($30.90)*** I do always gave something to Mama and Papa every time that I have something to give to them. And, here it is! I don't care where they will spent it, as long as their happy. ***PhP 1000.00 ($20.60)*** It's time to treat ourselves (our family) some loving. Hahaha! We bought some lux like new clothes, slippers, and other things. For Mama, she decided to bought new stuffs for our kitchen and she oblique me to buy a new pitcher because I broke one of our pitchers last Wednesday when we are eating our lunch. (Poor pitcher, sorry! Hihi.) ***PhP 500.00 ($10.30)*** So, after making ourselves tired and exhausted, we deserve something right? Well, specifically, we deserve some FOODSSSSS! Haha. So, I treat our family some foods. We ate outside and take-out some foods to be eaten at home. IT'S A FOOD TRIP, Y'ALL! So, to make it all. I had already spent more than half of my allowance with it. I'm not feeling hesitations when I was with Mama buying those stuffs nor regret when we finished buying. ***Now, let's proceed to my goals.*** `Last year, I was able to list down goals that I really want to achieve before year 2020 ends. But, not all of those were accomplished. And, here are those goals that I had accomplished:` ***Fully pay my laptop's balanced.*** *It is the first one that I had bought when I received my very first allowance as a scholar. A second hand but just a month after it was bought by the first owner. It costs me more than half of my allowance (Php 13,000.00 - $267.79) but I just told myself that it will be worth it. So, I just close my eyes, heaved a deep sigh, and let go of all my inhibitions. Glad that Mama and Papa supports me with it.* ***Start my own tutorial sessions within our community.*** ***Enter life in online selling.*** ***Open my own bank account.*** ***Be an Academic Scholar of our College.*** `As another year had opened for all of us, I had list another set of goals. This time, I will really do everything for me to turn all those goals into realty. I will just enumerate it all, but if you, guys, to read it more further. Just click this link:` *My 2021 Goals:* https://read.cash/@imafutureagrcltrst/my-2021-goals-db882d68 ***Buy my own printer.*** ***Buy new phone for me and my brother.*** ***Start printing business at home.*** ***Start a small baking business with Papa.*** ***Finance my Papa's, Mama's, and my siblings' birthdays.*** ***Have five or more regular clients on my tutorial sessions.*** ***Deposit at least seven thousand (Php 7,000.00) on my bank account before this year ends.*** ***Be a Academic Scholar for this whole academic year.*** ***Finish paying Papa's motorcycle.*** ***Earn thousand pesos on my Read.cash and Noise.cash accounts.*** `To make it more easy for me to achieve it all, I decided to set goals in each month. I started setting it this month of June and allow me to show a list of it to you.` And, yeah. I had already accomplished most of it, by now. Soooo happy! ***June 05, 2021*** Had verified my coins.ph account. Such a relief for me! Hoo. XD ***June 07, 2021*** Throws a simple birthday celebration for Mama and Papa. Cooked a 'sopas' and 'pancit' for them. Though, Mama said that I should not buy them one. Well, I'm a persistent and a hard-headed daughter. So, yeah. Ps. I had no photos for it. Because I don't have my phone that time. Jinjja! ***June 25, 2021*** *I had been achieved a few goals this day.* ***Here it goessss!*** *Advance payment for Papa's motor. July to September.* *Pay for our television.* ***And, most especially! I already had bought my new phone. Awiiiiii!*** *Now, let's unbox the biggest goal that I had achieved this month. Lezgo!* ***imanagrcltrst's New Phone*** Maybe, you guys had already know why I had to buy a new phone this early. I supposed to buy it by the month of November (as it was 'supposedly' the second year of my recent phone), but something happened. My old phone had it's battery bloated and it was soon broken, the following weeks. I decided to buy a new battery when I had some spare money but it seems like battery was not just the problem. I had brought it to a technician for it to be fix, but to no avail, it wasn't. So, I needed to buy and decided to buy it when I had the money. ***And, tadaaa!*** ***Here it is now....*** *It is one of the recent models of Vivo,* ***Vivo Y20i.*** *I had spent PhP 7,499.00 ($154.46) for it. Well, it's somehow expensive but it's okay. The original price since it was released had already decreased, so it's really okay. I was more on the quality and it will also be a big help for my and my sibling's studies.* *It has a 3GB RAM and a 64GB storage. A very good and high qualitied camera and other features are the best. Aside from the charger, I also had enjoyed some freebies like* ***jelly case****,* ***earphones****, and a* ***tempered glass****.* But, since that I was fond of hard cases, I decided to buy one. I was more comfortable of using it compare to the jelly case. For me, it was more safer to use, too. Maybe, you know what I mean with it. Hihi! :> The remaining money was already saved by me. For future needs and for my goals. :) **Me to my new phone:** Stay strong to us. More years for us. Don't leave me immediately, okay? I will trust you and you should trust me, too. I won't use you while you were charging, I promise you that. Am I already crazy? HAHA! ***Next month, I'm gonna set another goals. Goals that will encourage me to be an achiever and not just an artist who are so fond of planning and making a drawing of it.*** ***For my other goals this year, I'm currently on the process of aiming and achieving it. WISH ME LUCK!*** *Hope that I could achieve all of these goals. Fighting, self! FIGHTINGGGGG.* **Closing Thoughts** If we had something that we want to have, work hard for it. Don't just say it vocally, move and make an action! I repeat, ***move and make an action.*** Maybe you would want to read my previous articles: Questions: They Are Sailing On My Mind: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/questions-they-are-sailing-on-my-mind-82fd7ed5 My First Love, My Protector, My Papa: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-first-love-my-protector-my-papa-f237a22e 'My Flaws Are Not My Fate": **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/my-flaws-are-not-my-fate-5412efca** Finally, I'm Back!: **https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6** Or let's have a chitchat and become a friends in Noise.cash: imanagrcltrst: **https://noise.cash/u/imanagrcltrst** LOVE LOTSSSS! :)
