My Bucket List Before I Settled Down
**Settle down** .... two words that are so easy to spell with just ten letters. But, not that easy to deal with.
Settle down ... I know it already rung a bell. Are you familiar with it? Oh, I know you are. However, what does "*settle down*" really means?
`According to Collins Dictionary, settling down means when someone get married and started to live a peaceful life in one place. In short, having a family.`
I am aware that all of us are dreaming to have our own family in the future. To walk down the aisle while wearing our dream white gown, utter our vows then say "**I do**", and get married with the man we love and that loves us more and of course, to have kid/s. To make it more shorter, it's building our own family and filling our home with happiness and laughter.
I am also aware that there's also a numbers of people who don't want to have kid/s, but surely want to get married. Or it can be to have a kid/s but getting married wasn't on the list. Though as time passes by, everything might possibly change.
Many women said that the want and urge to be a mother do starts at 20s, is it true? Ain't sure, too. How about you? But I admit that sometimes, the idea of being a mother and a picturesque of carrying my own blood and flesh do appears so sudden in my mind. I know it's normal for females out there. However, I do not want to be a mother yet. Not yet ready for that journey pa. Though I also know that being a mother isn't something that every women will be ready off. "*There are many things that we'll just know and learn during the process of motherhood*", well that's what Mama told me.
Getting married? Carry my own child inside my womb? Have my own family? Sounds so exciting and fulfilling, but I will say **no** for the meantime. As I said, I am not ready yet. I still want to build myself first before I enter that lifetime journey of being a **wife** and a **mother**. I am still striving for my dreams and dealing with life's battles. And, I don't want to have a kid at this state. Want them to have a more brighter and lighter life and not the life that I am having right now. In short, I don't want them to inherit this kind of life.
In this kind of topic, I often shared my thoughts to Ate @Jeaneth. Hello, Ateeee! :)
As part of making myself ready, sharing the bucket list full of my goals that I wanna achieve before I settle down.
Or can I? Seriously, I am kinda so advance *mag-isip* in this part. Haha! *Jowa nga wala ako eh, bakit ikaw Ate* @Ruffa*, meron ka ba?* Sorry, *inunahan ko lang talaga si Ate Ruffa.* I know that this is what she'll gonna say eh. *🤪*
Anyways, I remembered that I already shared some of this plans in this article: **Am I Wasting My 20s?****.** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/am-i-wasting-my-20s-eff4fc8b
**Okay, so what's in my bucket list? Let's all find out ....**
Graduate and get my license.
Of course, this is the first one that I wanna achieve. I wanna finish my studies (on time, pleaseeee!), march down all through the way to our legendary (hehe!) University's Graduation Site and climb up the stage while wearing that ultimate black toga then get my diploma, on hand. Hoo! Can't wait for that moment. <3
Another one is to get my license. How to? Well, I need to take the **Agriculturists Licensure Examination (ALE)** months after I graduate. It's a 3-days exam that's usually held at either Baguio or Manila, well that's what I know. In every day, two subjects will be taken with three and a half hour duration per subject. In that three days, there will be 6 focuses such as the:
*Animal Science, Crop Science, Soil Science.*
*Crop Protection, Agricultural Extension,* and *Agricultural Economics and Marketing.*
Kuya @Eunoia, correct me if I am wrong, hihi.
If I can unlocked this two, more opportunities are awaiting. Omooo! Can't wait for this much awaiting moments. SOONEST, self! 🧡
Have a job and be regular.
Next is to find a job and to surely get one. I am looking forward to either work at any agricultural sectors or institutes like Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), and of course, Department of Agriculture (DA). More so, to be an Instructor (at first) then Professor at our beloved university.
It's not easy, I know. But, I'll strive and work harder and smarter to have this, my dream job. My seniors said that once we perform great at the academics and skills-related tasks, the university (specifically, our college) won't let us go. In short, *'di na kami pakakawalan pa*. Another reason why I am striving right now, it's like hitting three birds with one stone. *Learn, graduate, and secure a work for me.*
In terms of being regular, either of all the mentioned sectors above? We won't get regular until we became a Masterals (Master of Science) degree holder. If I want to work inside the laboratory and teach for decades or so? I need to take and finish Masterals. *Walang katapusang pag-aaral ituuuuu. Tapos may Doctorals pa ay*, hoo. Well, that's (PhD) not in my mind pa naman.
Upon taking Masterals, I still want to pursue Plant Pathology. Where to? Either still in our university or in University of the Philippines- Los Banos (UP-LB). If I will be too lucky, *sa* abroad *sana* like South Korea or Norway. Either ways, let's see. Hihi!
Buy own lot and build our own house.
House and lot, of course my bucket list won't be complete without this. I had shared before for so many times that I am aiming to buy our own lot before I graduate in college or months after I graduate. Well, SANAAAA! Then, start the construction of the house after I took the board exam. And, when I got to save up again.
In my next articles, I will share how I plan our house to look like. 💖
Establish a business and build a name in business industry, in God's name.
Business ... so easy to pronounce yet so hard to have. Actually, I've been planning to put up a small baking business at home. It was in my goals for 2021 but seems like it'll be delayed. Why? Obviously, there's a need for a big capital and it's not easy to have ah. If I just don't have too much to spend money at? I can surely make it happen this year. But, yeah. There are so many expenses to think of, both at home and in school.
As an agriculture student, dreaming to have a farm is not new. All of us do want to have a farm or any business related to agriculture. As for me? I want to have an agro-ecotourism farm that offers both leisure activities and for production matters, in one. As I said, it's not easy but I am so determined. So, let's do this.
Spoil myself.
Of course, *'di pwedeng 'di kasama si self sa bucket list noh. 😉💗*
Spoiling myself, who wouldn't like this one right? After I graduate and pass the board exam, had a job, spoil my family, and accomplished my other goals? It's time to treat myself more, to spoil myself even more. Yes, I am doing it now but I wanna level it up to the highest level after I turn my dreams into reality. What will I do? I'll go shopping (not just window shopping ah), travel the world, and conquer what I hadn't conquer at this age. In short, I will do every thing that I missed all my life. Though, I will start it now. <3
Help a charity or orphanage.
One of the many things that I had shared in noise.cash is that I have a very soft heart for those underprivilege one. Like those city beggars, homeless people, children working at the very young age, those who works more harder just like what I saw last Monday afternoon:
It's an old man who works as a ice drop vendor. Riding his old bike under the heavy rain. Despite the rain that's pouring down that moment, seems like he's so determined to work and earn for them to have some money to spend for their needs and survive the day. Imagine, his bell do rung with a happy sound but seeing him? It really do broke my heart.
View my noise.cash post here: https://noise.cash/post/1nw750pk
Save and get ready.
Lastly, have my savings and get more ready. How to? Through finishing my bachelor's degree, ace the board exam for me to have a more better job with a great salary then be regular. More so, to have my own house and lot a and a business. In this way, I can achieve my goal to be financially stable. Well, not that rich but enough for me to fill in the needs of my future kids and family.
Aside from being financially ready, of course, I want to be emotionally and mentally ready too. Wanna improve my character even more, especially those not-so-good ones.
**But, why am I so determined to be financially ready?** Simply, because I don't want to enter the journey of being a wife and a mother if I know within myself that I am not efficient enough to provide their needs. Milk? Diapers? Vitamins? And, other primary needs? The price was getting more higher and higher. And, I don't want them to feel like they do lack in this because their Mom or parents can't.
**Why am I thinking like this?** I both experienced and saw moments of difficulties. We aren't a rich family, but we can survive a day eating 3x. But most of the time, we need to work harder and smarter. Strive and hustle, just like what I am doing. I also saw my Aunt and Uncles borrowing money just for their children to have a milk and diapers. Having too much debt, too. See? I don't want my future children to starve because I, we lack. It's enough that I faced such difficulties like this, but I will spare my family. As long as I can!
I wanna give them all the best, I know I can't give it all but I will still try. And, I will start it through readying myself. Not just in terms of finances, but in all aspects. **As long as I can! ❤❣**
Orayttttt! Done with today's article. Had made it longer again and again for an eme-eme content, hihi. Sorryyy! 😁 Though, I am hoping that you, guys will like it. Well, do you? :)

The Degree Courses I Think They'll Take In College
When we are young, we said to our parents and ourselves that we want to be a doctor, nurse, teacher, and even a singer or dancer. This are the most known professions by a kid like us before.
Why doctor and nurse? Because we want to treat those sick and injured people. Our family, to be more specific.
Teacher? B'coz we are so fascinated on hour our teacher teaches us. How our parents or older siblings assist us in our lessons and assignments.
Singer, dancer? Obviously, because we are a naturally born singer and dancer who are so fond of dancing the famous *"spaghetting pababa, pababa nang pababa"* with singing pa ah. Remember this moments? 🙈
Me? What did I dreamed to be before? Like many of us, I also wanted to be a **doctor** or a **nurse** as I want to treat Papa's leg and I remembered how I feel so excited every time there's someone in our family who got wounded. I will even race in getting the cotton, alcohol, and betadine.
How about a **teacher**? Of course, I do. I was idolizing my Kindergarten teacher because she's so good at teaching and dancing. And, she's always giving me that yellow star every day before we go home.
Then because we are a fanatic of Endless Love, we often play that and I am portraying the role of Miss Marian Rivera, Jenny. Oh *di'ba*? In that, I also wanted to be an **actress**.
Before, I can say that I wasn't aware of other professions like be an engineer, architect, scientist. However, did I pursued any of the said paths above? Nope. When I was in Junior High School, I only wanted to be a **chef** because basically, I took Home Economics. But, what did my heart shouting? Be a Licensed Agriculturist. And, here I am. **On my road to be one**. 💛
How about you? What do you want to be when you are still a little kid? Mind sharing it with us? :)
Okay, enough on my looooong introduction. Haha! Time to go to the main topic which is .......
"The Degree Courses I Think They'll Take In College."
Who am I pertaining to "they"? None other than my siblings, my younger brother and sister.
My brother is already in Grade 9 in JHS, meanwhile sis was in her last grade in primary level. Yes, they was just in high school and elementary but guess what? I am already thinking on what course they'll took. Haha, yeah. Advance *talaga akong mag-isip. Actually, naiisip ko na nga na crush na din ako ni crush eh, char! 🤪*
So, going back to the topic. My sister was so vocal on what she wants to take in college and what she wants to be. Apparently, bro was the opposite. Until now, he hadn't yet saying what he wanted to take. But, I will wait. I know he has something in his mind and I can feel it. Yah know, siblings' connection. What am I feeling? It's that he'll take any engineering-related course. However, wait-wait *lang tayo.*
In this article, lemme share some of the courses that I think they'll take once they are about to be in college. This are just based on my observations and gut feel.
**Lets start with my brother ....**
As I said, he's still silent about the course he'll take. Though, we are not rushing him as he was just in Grade 9 and there's still Senior High School to render. But, seeing it in his hobbies and skills? It might possibly be an **Engineering-related course**. Specifically, **Electrical** or **Mechanical Engineering**. Also, he's into **SMAW (Shielded Metallic Arc Welding)** strand right now as his focus in their TLE subject. He's so good in repairing such stuffs at home and building ones. Actually, he's my buddy when I need to build any DIY materials for my activities like the fences, screenhouse, and all. More so, I remembered that he once said that he wants to take **law** (maybe, **Bachelor of Law**). It's the time when there's a chaos between Mama along with Tita versus their greedy Aunts. And, it's about the land (lot). Typical relative or family issue. Bro was so mad that time that he was even crying due to the intense anger and I heard him whispered something like, "*mag-aabogado ako para maipakulong ko kayo.*" I don't remember what exactly it is, but it's like this. Mama's aunts was really disrespecting her and our rights, maybe that's the reason why he said those words.
But, let's see. Will support him no matter what it is naman, for sure I can finance it na when he's already in college. Whatever course it is. <3 HOPING and PRAYING.
Now, let me share the coursesssss or professionsssss that my sister has in her mind ....
*(Yeah, a lot of 's' because she really had a lot in her mind ey. Haha!)*
As I said, sis was so vocal about her dreams and some of the degree courses that she said to us are the following. This is in order, based on what I can track. *Dami kasi ih.* 😁
First, a **music-related course**. This is the very first one that she said to us, that she wants to be a singer. In fact, this is what her ambition that was written in their program when she finished Kindergarten. So basing on this, in her ambition back then, maybe she'll take music-related course. Wasn't that familiar in this course but yeah. However, she wasn't telling this one anymore. *Pero abot ang kanta dito ah, akala nga namin umiiyak na eh. HAHA! :D*
Second, **medicine-related course**. Like most of us, she also dreamed to be a doctor. It's the universal dream of every (or most?) of the children eh. Her reason? Of course, Papa. Don't know what exactly the course is as medicinal field was undeniably so broad, but maybe it's **Doctor of Medicine**. I was just in 1st year college and she's just in Grade 4 that time and what we jokingly said to her? It's, "*magdo-doctor ka? Eh umiiyak ka pa nga din sa alcohol kapag may sugat ka eh.*" (English: You want to be a Doctor? Eh you're still crying because of alcohol when you're wounded.) Don't know if she still want to pursue it, *bata pa eh kaya pabago-bago pa ng isip.*
Third, **fashion designing course**. To tell you the truth of who's the fashionista between me and my sister? That's her. She's the one who usually chooses what she wants to wear since she's in Grade 3. Even if that's what Mama wants her to wear but she don't want to? She won't wear it, as long as it doesn't passed her standards. In short, maka-OOTD s'ya. Haha! And, after she gets more *kikay* last two years ago until now? She often said that she wants to be a **fashion designer**. That proved why she's so fond in arts.
Fourth and fifth, **engineering-related course** and **BS Architecture**. In this two, I really don't know why this courses popped in her mind. It was maybe around February when she said that she now wants to be an engineer and what I said? "*Kakalbuhin mo ba ako? Eh ballpen pa lang jan, kamahal-mahal na.*" Then on the next month/s, she changed her mind again and again as she said, "*Mama, architect na lang pala.*" Then it's my turn again and said, "*pamahal nang pamahal ah.*" I was laughing while saying this words as I was so shocked on how she planned her course and change her mind the next day. Haha! But (again), let's see.
Mareng @CrazyRichFilipinaa, *mag-collab na lang kayong dalawa sa mansion ko kapag nag-archi din si sis. Hihi! Char.*
Lastly, **BS** **Education**. This one is the recent course that she wants to take *daw*. Again, I don't know why. Maybe because of her teachers or maybe, me? Yah know, I am the one who's teaching and guiding her and her Kuya. Also, I am a part-time tutor. So, yeah. Maybe, that's why.
That's all for my sister. Waiting for her change of plans. Hihi!
(✿◠‿◠)
More over, I also feel that my course (BS Agriculture) will also be one of their choices, someday. Especially to lil sis, she was also my best buddy in collecting weeds, insects, looking for diseased plants. I am gonna go to different farms and she'll always with me. My photographer, videographer, and an avid fan of mine. In fact, she already knows what is the difference of weeds and grasses. What is that weed, the name of some insects and a lil bit familiar with plant diseases. And, many more. She asked me so many questions while I am doing an experiment or anything regarding my activities. Same as to my brother. They also studies Agriculture in their TLE subject and whenever I am teaching her lessons to her? She listens so well and fascination was so obvious in her eyes. *Baka sumunod sa yapak ko 'to ah, hihi.*
But, whatever course is it that they wanna take and pursue? We'll support them, so much. And, I will. Just like how our parents supported me in my course and didn't command me on what course to take.
PADAYON, SIBS! Ate will support you, guys. Always. 🌼
So, that's all for my *kadaldalan.* For sure, it took more than 4-minutes reading time, again. However, hope that you'll like it!

My Initial Goals For Year 2022
**Goals .....**
Every day, week, month, and yearly. This is how we often set our goals, either it be a consistent one or a different one. Depends on the situation and to what we want to achieve.
Me? I can say that I am so fond of having my goals. If you are one of my readers in noise.cash, I am so sure that you know how addicted I am in making my every day's to-do list. What can you see in there? Chores, my and my sibs' academic tasks, errands. That's what usually written in my list.
Monthly, I am also setting my goals that I usually shared at the first (or sometimes, not. *Basta,* within the first week. Hihi!) and last day of the month. Here's my latest articles about my monthly goals and lil achievements: **Remembering September** and **October, Are You Ready For Me?****.** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/remembering-september-7888411c https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/october-are-you-ready-for-me-d7c9a74d
Now, we're down on the 11th month of the year. Who wouldn't say that it's a, **"time flies so fast"** if it seems to be just January last day? And, look. In just **42 days,** we'll bid our good byes to year 2021. Then, will welcome another year to spent. *Bilis hano?*
Since that year 2022 was on it's way na and getting even more near, I've been thinking on what would I want to have in that year.
Even though I hadn't yet accomplished my 2021 goals. Sorry na, *advance mag-isip eh.* 🤪
And, I will share some of the goals that I had thought off in this article. Actually, this was inspired by Mareng @ExpertWritter's **My plans for the year 2022****.** Aside from saving and throwing a simple birthday celebrations for our family (just like what I aimed this year), here's my initial goals for 2022. https://read.cash/@ExpertWritter/my-plans-for-the-year-2022-c8817ab2
What are this goals? Let's find out .... in 3, 2, and 1. 💖
(*Vloggerist 'yarn?* LOL!)
Installation of own Wi-Fi connection.
This is what I really want to have for my, our studies since online classes has take the way in. If online classes will still continue next year, I will really need this one. Oh, not just me but also my siblings.
I remembered that I had shared this one in my previous article, **5 Things That I Want To Have Before I Start Conducting My Thesis****.** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/5-things-that-i-want-to-have-before-i-start-conducting-my-thesis-56305be2
By next semester, I feel that we'll have more virtual meetings, reporting, and all. Also by the first semester of A.Y. 2022-2023, our thesis conduction will start. And since that my thesis is all about mapping using remote sensing and GPS/GIS, I will really need a more better internet connection. More better than mobile data, yah know *madalas may sumpong si Globebe.* Just like now that I am writing this article, I can't attach the photos that I prepared. And, I don't want to be even more stress on the next semesters because of my connectivity. Don't want to connect with our neighbors, too. Aside from I need to go outside just to get some connection (even if it's already 11:00 in the evening), I don't know if they're having some commentary on it.
So, I will opt to have our own WiFi next year. HOPING! *crossed fingers*
Installation of own electric (power) meter.
This one is also my goals for this year, but I guess, I won't make it by this 2021. So, I will push it next year. Why? It's more expensive when we're just giving our shares to our monthly electric bill. Also, every time that we're receiving our monthly **Electrifying Electric Bill**? I and Mama was just simply having our eye-to-eye talk because *masyadong malaki ang share ni Mama* even though we only have a few home appliances and not that so fond of too much consumption. In addition, what pushes me more? It's when we got our electricity cut by the authorities because we failed to pay for our two-month bill. After this, we need to deal with days without electricity from August 19 to August 30. *Tagal hano?* The first **Seven Nights In The Dark** was so hard but we managed to survive. Gladly! As we dealt with this one, we (I and my parents) talked that we want to have our own *kuntador* (electric meter). We can't afford to experience this again especially now that we're in the middle of studying. So, yeah. We'll planning to have this next year and I will give some for it. Hoping that we'll have it on the first three months of 2022 so that we can start a new year with less gastusin. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/the-electrifying-electric-bill-9e55621a https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/seven-nights-in-the-dark-22d99def
Buy a phone for sis.
I've been thinking about this for months already. My sister is now on her last year in primary level and she'll be in Grade 7 next school year. For me, it'll be more easier for her to study if she has her own phone. Especially, if it's gonna be still an online class next S.Y. or even if it's not, I still want her to have her own one. For communication purposes and her studies. Also, I can't afford to share a phone with her next year because I'll get more occupied with my thesis and other works. But of course, I'll still be strict with her usage *kasi baka maunahan pa akong magka-jowa ay.* 🙈
Start small baking business at home.
This goal was already in my 2021 Goals but I guess, I won't be able to start it this year as I still hadn't bought any tools and the oven. There's also a lot of things to prepare and to save for. So, will just push it next year. For us to have additional source of income and who knows, maybe it'll be successful and will help us with our life. HOPEFULLY! 💓
Finish my thesis.
As I've mentioned above, our thesis conduction will start next Academic Year until the last semester. Yeah, we are given a year to finish our thesis including the actual paper, numbers of defense with our thesis adviser, respective critics (in my case, my critic is our College Dean), and other panelists. It'll be a tough one, for sure. But, will do my very best to graduate on time. Yes, it's not a race but I don't want to miss any opportunities that are waiting for me after I graduated. *Sayang uy.*
Save for graduation and board exam.
In this part, I think I am so advanced *mag-isip na talaga, hehe.* But, I am an avid fan of planning ey. So why not push it more? Because I want to stand on my own and don't depend my expenses to my parents, *aba sasagarin ko na noh.* 😁 Maybe some are not aware that BS Agriculture has a board exam. Yes, we have it which is the **Agriculture Licensure Examination** and it's one of the hardest board exams in the Philippines. Wasn't sure of it's current ranking. Actually, ALE 2021 had just finished days ago and the results are out today. `Hello to all the additional Lic. Agr. out there! So proud of you, guys. 💗`
Before, I am not sure if there's something to pay for the board exam that I am going to take months after I graduate. And so, I searched. Yeah, it has a payment that was said to be about PhP 900.00 (around $18, today) according to Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Well, it was aside from the expenses for the review (materials and for review centers). So, I really need to save. That I will gonna start on the first month of 2022. *Yah know, it's better to have more savings than to be shortened in budget and cram for the needed money just to fulfill the expenses. *wink wink**
Self-renovation of our rooms.
I've shared before that our room was so small that we even need to fix our bed first during mornings just to have some space for studying. However, bro's room was a lil bit spacious than what I and sis has. It's just that it's messy and too crowded. So, I will start my self-renovation with our rooms by maybe a week before Christmas. Because I am gonna have more virtual meeting next year (as I'm expecting), I've been planning to fully furnish our room's walls (*'di kasi palitada.*) for it to look more formal and *maayos.* Then, I will also buy new things like curtains, desk (maybe), stationeries, and etcetera. Gonna shoulder all the expenses *para 'di kumontra si Mama.* Haha, kidding. So sure that she'll support me as long as I'll do budgeting before spending. So excited to do this goal of mine. Will surely share it with you, guys the moment that I started and accomplished it, for real. :)
That's all for today. Hope you like it! 💛
"Setting up goals in a day-to-day, monthly, or yearly basis will help us a lot to make progress, little by little. And, one day? We'll make it all happen, not just in our minds and dreams but for real."

A Week Of Overflowing Generosity
**Noise.cash .....**
I know that all of us here are so fond of this platform, site. More fond than the other existing social media platforms out there. So fond to the point that it's not a big deal anymore if we got so inactive in Facebook, it didn't bother us so much if there's some issues circulating in there. To the point that we aren't having hesitations to deactivate our accounts.
*Why? .....*
**Because here's noise.cash, that will rescue and make us feel more alive**. ✨
Had you observed some changes in yourself and in your social media life when you started to be more active in noise.cash? Me? I can say, yes.
Even before I got to met noise.cash, I am already inactive in Facebook. Yes, I am still using it 'til now. Yes, I seldom post my photos or anything. I only often did shared random posts but it's not like an every day basis. But, when noise.cash came into my life? I became more inactive in Facebook.
I don't post rants in there .... so do as my life problems. It's not because I was afraid to be criticized just because I shared something about my life. Yah know, it's getting more and more toxic in the social media platform. For me, it's not the application that's toxic. It's the users ... the users' characteristics.
And, I am so happy that I found noise.cash .... way more happy than before.
Here? I can freely express my thoughts, ideas, and opinions about a certain thing. How I view life, how I plan my life, my goals, any thing. I can share my problems and rants and what will I get in return? **I will feel so relieved** and one more thing, **I am getting paid off**.
All thanks to all the people behind this platform. Kudos to you, guys! 💛
I remembered that I had mentioned it so many times that I joined this platform way back in **January 11, 2021**. And, just this November 11? **I turned 10 months old.** As I checked my co-users who's supporting me, by November 12? They already reached 2567.
And, as of this day (November 15), they now 2588. Wieeeee! <3 Didn't expect that I'll be in this amazing world for this duration of months and have this numbers of supporters. Hoo! It's indeed an "**expect the unexpected.**" 😍

Before, I didn't take my earnings so seriously. It's alright if I didn't got a dollar in each passing day. What's important is that I'm having a progress while releasing all my thoughts and inspiring other users through my words. Actually, until now. In fact, I am only checking my BCH wallet every nights. Sometimes, I am even forgotten about this routine of mine. Even my noise.cash wallet? I seldom visiting it. I was just being shocked when I am receiving a notifications that states the BCH amount that I am receiving especially *kapag sunod-sunod pa*. Then will asked myself, "*Did I already reached my minimum payout? Just like that?*" Haha, yeah. Believe it or not, but I am often like this. *Nakaka-pagod kaya kapag silip nang silip hano. 😅*
My usual daily earning is **around $3-$6**. If I am so busy with the outside world or was just feeling lazy? It's **$2-$3**. It's already big for a student like me who wasn't going out to make a living.
But, I was shocked last Sunday, November 07. My coins.ph wallet kept on giving me notifications about the BCH that's entering my wallet. It's like for every two hours, I'll received 2-3 notifications stating that I received this and that amount of BCH. And here's me, "*what's happening? Why am I being showered with lots of BCH today?*" By that time, I am on my way to my very first **1 BCH.** The morning of that very same day, I have **0.87 BCH** and on that very same day? **I unlocked my first 1 BCH. 🥳** And, I shared it with this article: **Finally, I Successfully Unlocked My First 1BCH!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-i-successfully-unlocked-my-first-1bch-7a8576fa
`Here's what I exactly said in that article when noise.cash showered me with so much loving and blessings on that day:`
***"****I experienced this overflowing generosity of the noise.cash team. My coins.ph app? It kept on receiving more and more BCH amounts. Gadddd! To have my minimum payouts for* ***16 times*** *in just a single day of posting nonsense contents in noise.cash? I didn't expect it uy. As in! And, because of this? That* ***0.87 BCH*** *by the start of my morning yesterday, it became* ***1BCH*** *by the evening. 😍❣"*
See? The usual $3-$6 everyday had suddenly soar higher. That $3-$6 everyday? It even got almost tripled. Uwuuuu! In short, my usual **3-6 minimum payouts** had abruptly became **16 times.**
And, that's the start. **The start of a seven-days of overflowing generosity.**
On the months of August, September, and October, I got to have received my minimum payouts **12 times a day**. But, it's not everyday ah. It only happens once a month. Yes, only once. And, it's all unexpected.
Some of you here had known me for being so organized with my goals and that includes tracking my BCH earnings. In there, I got to know that I usually earned around **$25-$40 every week**, PHP price depends on the current trends in BCH market. However, it usually hit around PHP 2,000 something. This amount? It's already too much for me.
But, as I feel this overflowing generosity of the noise.cash team towards me this past seven days? From November 07 (Sunday) to November 14 (Sunday). I have this hint that maybe, maybe my usual weekly earnings had became more higher.
And, upon tracking it down this morning? I confirmed that my hint was correct. That $25-$40 weekly? It increased and even hit double. Wieeee! Gadddd. Hadn't expected it, really. I mean, yes. I observed that I am so active by Sunday to Tuesdat, but on the next days? Not that active anymore. So many things to do, activities, reports, webinars, exams, responsibilities as an older sister and a daughter. So, yeah. I was really overwhelmed with this numbers. Hayst! Can't say anything but **I am truly overwhelmed and happy.** ❤🧡
Here's an image of what I had tracked:
So, that's all for today. Hope that you like it, guys. HAPPY READING! :)

I Can Still Remember Those Scenes
Today, like the previous days, I will be occupied again with random and numbers of tasks. To begin with, I first did my my usual morning routines. Pray, check my messages, start my hustle in noise.cash, house works.
Then by 9:33AM, I along with my younger sister and Papa leaved the house to go to the city proper, as per my request. Before that, I told Papa to stop over on the ATM machine in front of our Barangay Hall. Upon exiting the street corner that we usually walk trough, a **traffic** had welcomed us. A certain reason had automatically popped in our minds, maybe there's an accident.
And, while we're getting nearer to that ATM machine? Papa said, "**may tumagilid pala na truck eh. Kawawa naman.**" (English: There's a truck that tilted.) Then, I and sis asked in chorus, "where?" And, there it is. On the shoulder lane beside the wall of PhilRice, just some steps away to the ATM machine that I am going to.
Here's some photos for you to visualize it more better, guys.
See it? The three of us was asking what possibly had happened for this to accident to occur. Also, here's my concerns upon seeing this truck:
**The driver and "*****pahinante.*****"** This questions are what I immediately asked myself, "*Where is the driver and it's pahinante (if there's one)?*", "*How are they? Are they fine and safe?*", "*Do they have some injuries? Where are they now? Who's taking care of them?*" I know for sure that the person (people) inside that vehicle may be injured or has some wounds. I am sure because just by seeing how the truck had tilted? There will be some injuries that may occur. How I wished that they're safe and was being taken care of.
**What happened?** This is our ultimate question, "*what happened?*" Papa said that maybe one of the truck's wheel on the back had fallen on the shallow part of the national road. The road on that side wasn't *pantay* *kasi*, *mataas si* main lane and the shoulder area wasn't aligned on the main lane making them not equal in proportion. And, maybe the driver has suddenly felt sleepiness. I don't know.
**What they are carrying?** I've been asking myself this one. As I looked on the particles scattered on the side, maybe it's a sugar. I saw the name one of the well-known sugar producer and supplier *kasi*. So, maybe it's really a hundred of sacks that they're carrying.
**Is there someone who'll pick them up?** Normally, many delivery trucks are from other places who's just passing by the National High-way. So, I am hoping that there's someone who'll pick them up and helped them with the products that they are carrying. Just wish that their employer won't deduct some of the loss in their salary.
Anyways, when I am seeing such a road accident like this? Mama and Papa's experience was coming back in my memories. What is it? Here:
*Storytelling*
I was in my fifth grade in primary level that time, I'm around 10-years old. It's a morning when I was cleaning the house, Mama can't do this because they have to leaved the house early in the morning (5:00-5:30PM) to open the bakery that they're working at that time. I, bro, and our sister was just left at the house with our grandparents supervision. As far as I can remember, I was sweeping our roof to remove some webs when I received a text message on my keypad phone from an unknown number. I can't remember what exactly that message was but it's saying that **our parents got into an accident and they're being transported to the hospital.** I don't know but it hit my mind that it may be severe because they'll gonna be headed to a hospital. So, I hurriedly said it to my Lola and Lola and they immediately followed to the said hospital.
Lolo called me to said that Mama is okay and she just got a small wound on her feet. But, Papa? Aside from broken bones and open wounds, he also got a serious head injury that needs an immediate operation. I was so scared that time. Why? Because I was so young and so do as my siblings. My brother was just around seven and our sister was just months old. We can't afford to lose our parents. Thanks, God. Papa got safe after he undergoes an operation and they got home after maybe 3-4 weeks in the hospital. Now? He's living with this kind of *bakal* (iron) that was inserted in his temple.
When I asked them what happened, they said that they are following this white car that they observed to be swerving and because the car's windows aren't tilted, they saw that the driver was using his phone while driving. And, suddenly the driver stopped the car making my parents to bumped on the back part and Papa flew over the car. Just like that, as fast as that, they got into an accident.
This isn't the first time that I saw vehicles that got into an accident, but I hadn't seen the victims. Unlike what I will going to share next ..... wherein I personally saw the victims lying down the road, unconscious, with blood and without blood.
Here's the two scenarios, scenarios that I saw on the road that I can still remember so clearly until now ....
**The kid on the white polo and khaki pants.**
When I was still on my first year in college, I mostly have my 7AM class. In this times, I always leave the house before 6AM so I am making sure that I am already walking before this time. I often wait for a PUV on the National road just in front of our Barangay Hall and I'm always walking all the way there. I will walk until I reach this *iskinita* that was behind the B.Hall and was a short cut to the main road. Then one morning, I was intrigued why the barangay tanods are on the shoulder lane that was really unusual because that's so early pa. While getting nearer in the gate, I also saw PhilRice's security guards and some policemen. *"Why? What's happening?"*, I asked myself. Then, I was shocked. I was so shocked when I saw a boy lying down in the middle of the right lane. That boy was wearing a white polo shirt and a white khaki pants and even if he's a bit far from my position? I still saw his face. He's living on the same community as mine and he's the first born of one of the Professors in our department in College of Agriculture, Dept of Crop Protection and was studying on the university that I am also attending. But, he's still in high school that time.
He's lying down, unconscious and without blood. Far from his spot, there's a motorcycle. From the news circulating in our college and community? It was said that he was bumped by the motor and was in a severe condition because of a head injury. There's a blood clot in his head that made his situation worst. Our community was giving a lot of help and sympathy because that boy was known for being so friendly, energetic, and intelligent. After that incident, he stayed on the hospital for months. Eyes close and no idea when will he wake up. But God is really good, he wakes up. But sadly, he's like a *lantang gulay* and needs to undergo a lot of brain surgeries to fully remove the clot. He gets home but was still like that, gone the energetic boy. His parents and family did all their best, spent a millions for a lot of operations and all just to make him more better. Aside from the moral support, a lot of financial helps was given, wholeheartedly. But then, after a year of battling his situation? He gave in, just last year. 💔😢
This is the very first time that I saw an accident with the victim on the place. So, it's really so clear until now.
**The tricycle driver.**
I was still in first year this time. It's weekdays and maybe it's already quarter to seven in the evening, I am on the way home while riding a PUV (XLT, like what we call it). Then I met a traffic again, I didn't think that it may be an accident but I am wrong. Because it is, *it's another accident.*
And, I saw it once again. I saw the victim, unconsciously lying on the road while blood was scattered around his head. I saw it, I saw those bloods. I saw the man's eyes, opened. I saw it through the lights from the rescuers. He looks so helpless and I know that he's battling for his life. Head injury isn't a joke, so it's really a life-and-death battle. I
t's more terrifying than the first one because it's the first time that I saw it on actual. And, I don't want to see something like this again. Yes, I am a fan of horror or thriller movies but seeing it with my own two eyes? It's so scary. I can even feel how my heart stumps that moment, it's beating so fast like it was in a race. Tears are pooling in my eyes, hands trembling. After I got home, I immediately called Mama and tell it to her and to Papa. Mama hugged me and I cried in her arms. Maybe it's normal to someone, to see an accident. But that time? It's not normal to me. Especially that I saw him, I saw how he looks like. And, until now? It still looks so clear. I don't know what happened to him next. But I am wishing that he made it, that he's okay now. That he managed to fight that situation. Hoping, that I am right.
Good thing that it didn't traumatized me. Thank, God! <3
So, that's all for now, guys. Hope you like this moments in my life that I shared with you. HAPPY READING! 🧡

Such A Lazy Saturday
Seems like it was just Monday yesterday. And, just like that. The five days that make up this what we called **weekdays** are done. It's time for **weekends** to shine, once again. No other words to say but, it's indeed a "**time flies so fast.**" Just like how a rocket flies up on the outer space.
First, how did your Monday to Friday been? Is it productive? Or unproductive? Or maybe, both? 50% productive and 50% unproductive. Hihi! Anyways, my weekdays? It's undeniably productive, so sooooo productive. I managed to successfully accomplished numbers of academic activities in my major and minor subjects. More so, assisting and guiding my siblings on their activities. And, here's more:
**3** Midterm Exams in different subjects: AGRIC 3115 Lecture (Genetics), PPATH 3300 Lecture (Phythobacteriology), and AGMGT 3110 Lecture.
Set-up my samples for inoculation activity.
And, yeah. In this things that I overcome this past five days, I can say that **I am productive. 🥳** It feels so relieving that I had lessen my loads in academics, even though it's truly draining.
But, like what I usually aimed for? I always want to be productive, always. And so, making a to-do list every morning isn't new to me. It's my guide to have a fruitful day because if I don't have this? I know for sure that my day will just be spent by sleeping and scrolling down my phone. In short, I'll be unproductive. So, my everyday motto? "**Make a to-do list to make laziness go away.**" *Wala, eme-eme ko lang 'yan.* Hahaha! XD
As usual, I made sure last night that I planned what to do today. However, I didn't write it down in a piece of paper but it was already etched in my mind. What are they? Here:
*Do my part in our group's activity in Agricultural Engineering, which is the AFMECH Law.*
*Write an article.*
*Plan research in Crop Science Lecture.*
My Saturday was already planned. I said to myself that I'll just do some lighter tasks today because what I did on the past five days was already too exhausting.
I woke up exactly by 5:27AM. Unlike the other people out there who immediately get up from their beds the moment they opened their eyes, me? I always stay at the bed for an hour or two. *Muni-muni ba,* it's just that it's too long for some kind of *muni-muni.* 😅
What I did after I opened God's everyday gift to me? I uttered a simple yet a prayer that comes from the heart and included in my prayers that I can make this day productive, again.
And so, I started with noise.cash. I didn't post right at that moment, what I did? I replied to the replies that I hadn't replied yet. *Ay bahala kayong intindihin 'yan, HAHAHA!* Then, read the posts that I hadn't read last night and replied to some.
By 7:35AM, I get up and started doing the houseworks that I usually do. And, visited my plants and check my experiments in PPATH 3300.
I said that I'll start my part in our group's activity and finish it before lunch. But, argghhhh! I failed. I hadn't done it. All I did was just to stare at my worksheet and have a silent conversation with it like I am some sort of a crazy lady waiting for my worksheet's response. 😂 By that? I accepted that my lazy spirit had win over me. In short, *nilukob na naman po ako ng katamaran*. Huhuhu, hahaha. XD
Instead of grinding and doing my supposedly to-dos? Here I am, lying in our bed while doing random things with my phone. What specifically am I doing? Here's the applications that I've been using for almost this whole day:
**Facebook.** Yeah, I find this social media platform so toxic, nowadays. But, yeah. I still chose to use it today. Scroll down my news feed, watch random videos, visit my favorite pages, look for some ideas that I can use in my articles.
**Wattpad.** Of course, my day won't be completed without this one. It's one of my stress-relievers eh. Today, I just read the newest update of **Miss Jamille Fuma** on her **South Boys 2: Heartbreaker** story. Who's reading this one, anyways? *Malapit nang mabaliw si Jordan sa mga pinaggagagawa ni Carlyn uy. Haha!* Then, also Miss Angelica Gamit's **My Heaven In Hell** story and Miss ro-ughn's **Del Russo Series #5: His Forbidden Obsession**. Ohaaaa! Certified Wattpad reader 'to uy. *Alamat lang nakakakilala sa mga writers na ito. Hihi!* Shhhh. Not a fan of teen-fic or fantasy si self eh. 🙈
**Messenger.** Of course (2), *mawawala ba naman si messenger?* No, no, no. Well, I just updated my group members on our activities and *ehem* some talks with crushie na din. :D
**Chrome.** Yah know what's this application for? Yeah, you got it right. Noise.cashieeee! <3
At the end of the day? I can say that, *"It's such a lazy Saturday."*
But then, here's **noise.cash** and **read.cash** to the rescue.
Yes, I feel so lazy today but because I don't want it to affect my day negatively? I still chose to let my wants to thrive, to manifest and to not let my what-so-called lazy spirit to eat me alive. So ..... I get up, took a bath to wake my system, grab my laptop, opened my Chrome and directed to read.cash, and start writing.
And, the moment that I clicked the "publish" button? I said to myself that,
"**I made it! I made this day productive. Not that productive as the previous days, but I still managed to come back on track. What's important is that I overcome my laziness.**" 💜💛
**Note:**
*Resting and relaxing is also a productive thing to do. So, don't say that we're being lazy just because we're lying down on our beds the whole day. Just think that we're recharging ourselves to gain the energy that we had consumed for working and working, for days. But, don't be like this everyday or else it'll possibly gonna be a habit.*

Some Of The Risks That Stops Us From Hustling
**Hustling, working, digging up, grinding ......**
This words are what we commonly used to describe what we are doing every day. However, all of this just has the same meaning, "**engaging ourselves to make a living."**
For what? We have our own and different reasons for doing this but I believe that we are just aiming for the same end game, "**to build a more better life in the near future, for ourselves and for our family.**"
A more brighter life? It's not that easy to have. Just the same as having our own house that stands in our own lot, establish a business, buy own car, fill our bank accounts with a lot of money, secure our future. What more? This are just some of the many reasons why we are working our a*s day by day, night by night.
But how can we make it all happen? Will we be able to have it all if we are just waiting in a corner, sitting in our chair or lying in our beds, and scrolling down the social media looking for some *hugot, patama,* or any other memes for the whole day? Will we have it if we just kept on sharing a random post stating that, **"in 5 years, I'll have my own house and lot, business, and more."** but aren't making an action? For me, no. Dreaming without doing some actions or moves will not make it all happen.
And, we are now doing that action through studying more harder, going with the flow of life in a smarter way, working.
But, guess what? There are some one out there that are too afraid to take a risk. Or maybe not that patient nor determined? I don't know, even.
However, lemme just share this one.
*Storytelling*
I have this friends that I invited in noise.cash. I invited them because I know that we just have the same situation, that we both want to start making our own money. Though, I didn't immediately invited them the moment that I joined noise.cash. On the other hand, I just started in invited them when I already have earned a little bit more. Why? Because maybe that will encourage them to push more. Apparently, there are just two of them who joined. Sadly, they didn't make it more longer. Their reasons? It's difficult to earn some on that platforms.
I'm a little bit disappointed, *sa totoo lang*. I said to myself that maybe, maybe they are not that determined and patient. Does XtraIncom rings a bell? That's what they into on the past few months. It is where earning is way more difficult. Now? *Balik scrolling kay Facebook sila.* 😅 And I don't want to think of it, I just forget about that. What's important is I tried. I tried to help them to have some progress on their goals.
Right now, I just have this question. What are their reasons why they aren't that patient? Don't they want to have some progress? Or maybe, they are just having some doubts and holding on to the risks that are circulating on their minds?
Just this morning while I am having my exam in Agri-Management, I saw this certain topic about the risks in preparing a business. And just like that, I got another idea on what to write. However, I will just connect it here in **blogging**.
Career Risk
**I cannot risk my studies or work.**
In this world of blogging, we have students, professionals, parents, and all. All of this people are also into building their careers and it includes me, of course. We're studying to have a more easy way to have a better life. We have here many professionals, either they be a teacher, doctors, accountants, and all. We also have cool and dedicated Moms (Hello, Ate @Yen, Ate @Pachuchay , Ate @tired_momma, and more to mention) and Dads, too. Also, Ate and Kuya.
All of us have our top priorities and that's inside the real world. In this world of blogging, many are getting inactive sometimes (including me) or maybe wasn't here. Why? Maybe because we are afraid to risk our top priorities, thinking that maybe we won't make it and our priorities will be left behind. Well, this is what I am also thinking before. But, now? I am learning more on how to stay in blogging while making my studies to stay on top.
Family Risk
**Can I make it? I have responsibilities at home.**
Can I do it? Can I write an article every day? Can I interact and make my contents in noise.cash more often? Can I?
This is just some of our questions upon joining noise.cash and read.cash. But, it's not required to write an article every day. It's just that it became a devotion to many content creators because of how it helped us in terms of earnings. Same as on noise.cash. Just chill, because the team aren't requiring us to just stay tuned on the platforms. We can come back when our tasks are all done, so chill. :)
Well, I just adore this awesome and so dedicated content creators that managed to write every day despite of how busy they are. Ate @Eirolfeam2, Ate @Jane, Ate @Jeaneth, Ate @bmjc98, Ading @kingofreview, and to my Ate @Kelzy *na nakikipag-sabayan na din.* Hello sa inyooooo! 🥰
Psychic Risks
**I am too young, too old for that.**
I am just a teen, can I do blogging already? I am already on my 40s or up, can I still do it?
Of course, you can. We can, all of us can. There is no age limit in here, as long as we have that passion? The patience, dedication, determination, and overflowing perseverance? We surely can. *Sa love nga no age limit eh, sa blogging pa kaya?* 😉❣
**I lack experience and potential.**
I don't know how to write an article. I ain't good in English, I lack in experience regarding in writing. It's not my forte because I don't have the potential.
Always remember that **we have the potential**. Maybe there are some who doesn't have that so much of experience, not good in English and in writing such write-ups. But, we can learn. We can conquer. Not good in English? Why does not start in writing Filipino contents and start conquering after?
**We all have the potential, we just need to let it out and manifest. <3**
**I cannot afford not to have earnings.**
Earnings, the main reason why we are here. Before, it was so obvious that earnings are really the reason of joining read.cash especially noise.cash. When we're encountering $0 before? Many are so easy to give up and leave. Why? Because they're not earning, after all. But, is it good? For me, no. All of us are experiencing that **$0**. Everyone, even those known or popular users. But, what to do when having nothing in our contents? **Just continue, be more patient.** But, don't give up. Never.
**What would happen to me if I don't have some readers and upvoters? What if nobody liked nor reads my works?**
Now, let's talk about read.cash. What did you feel before when you are still a newbie here? What did you feel when there's just 1-3 readers of our articles? No likes, no comments, no upvotes. There are also some who's having some downvotes (👎🏻) on their articles. Are you, we feeling discouraged because of this? Unmotivated? Sad? Maybe, yes. Maybe, no. But, should we let this manifest? Of course, all of us will say no. That's why we keep on going on. So having this questions, "**What would happen to me if I don't have some readers and upvoters? What if nobody liked nor reads my works?**" in our minds? Set it aside and don't think of it too much. With just our patience and all? We'll have it, for sure.
**What if somebody is better than me?**
This, this is happening in here especially before. Being insecure to what other users are getting in return to their contents, comparing and comparing. Some do think that the upvotes and the $ on our posts in noise.cash is the basis of how good a content creator is. But, is it good? Does comparing and insecurities good? Maybe, yes. Maybe, no. If we're using that to make ourselves more determined and motivated? Maybe, it's good. But, just to have this *sama ng loob* or what? No and it'll never be.
So, stop thinking that we're not better and there's someone better than us. Remember, even those people who's excelling now? They also start from just a little experience and learnings. But, because they are motivated and so inspired? They did their best to let their best come out. So, just let the process leads the way. We're doing better now, but I am sure that we'll surely get more and more better.
**I cannot do it.**
I can not write an article, I cannot do blogging. I can not or I don't want? This two phrases are so different.
We can, but maybe we just don't want to? There is a common saying here that, *"Kapag gusto, maraming paraan. Kapag ayaw, maraming dahilan."*
We can do blogging and other things that we are thinking. Tutoring? Online selling? And, many more? I know we that we can do it all. All of us has the potential, the knowledge. We just need to let it out, all of it. Who knows? That so-called little learnings will soon get bigger and gigantic. Why? Because we tried. We did tried and conquer. So, what are you, we waiting for?
**START! Remove all those excuses, take the risks. Remember, there's no impossible if we really want to. Because our intense will to strive and thrive? It'll make all those what we think that are impossible, turned into something POSSIBLE. 💜🧡**

Finally, I Successfully Unlocked My First 1BCH!
**Blogging ....**
Who would've thought that I'll enter this world? This world full of great and well-improved content creators, specifically known as **"bloggers?"** Take note, **b**loggers and not **v**loggers.
In fact, I didn't. I didn't thought that I'll be in this world. Yes, I am into writing since I was in high school and it was intensified when I reached my first year in college. That I even tried to become one of the writers of our college's publication team, known as **The Plowman**. But sadly, when I was just one step away to become their official **feature writer**? I lost track ..... and my level of commitment? It seems to dropped during the surge of the pandemic. All of my works and efforts? Gone.
But, I got another chance to write again ..... Not just for my academic activities, but to continue my passion. All thanks to my friend, @carisdaneym2 , for introducing **read.cash** to me. <3
On the first month of year 2021, **January 02**, I entered read.cash as **imafutureagrcltrst**. However, I wasn't that active and dedicated as I was so busy with academics and my other priorities. By **January 11**, that very same friend of mine had guided me to **noise.cash** and tadaaaa!
I am now on my 7th month in read.cash and 9th month in noise.cash. 🥳💛
In this months, what did I got in return for all my hard works and efforts? I got this **E-L-F** ....
***E****arnings* .... that I used to spend for our family's needs and for saving.
***L****earnings, additional inspirations, and motivations.*
***F****amily.* Hello to all my Ate(s), Kuya(s), and virtual sibs here! 🧡
**1 Bitcoin Cash** or what we shortly called **1BCH**, does it ring a bell? I know it is. Many of us (or maybe all?) wished and pray to have this on our crypto-wallet. Many had already unlocked their first ever 1BCH months or days ago and many had already had more than 1 on their wallets. And they (like Ate @Ruffa, Ate @Jane, Ate @Eirolfeam2, Ate @bmjc98, and mooooore to mention), they are one of my inspirations why I still kept on pushing myself to have mine, too.
In every months, it is one of my goals to earn and add a target 0.3 BCH in my coins.ph wallet. And, this are all coming from my monthly noise.cash and read.cash earnings. Yes, I often achieved it but **conversions do sometimes happened**. However, I didn't regretted that I did it. *Napakinabangan ko naman eh,* so why regret, right? :)
To have **1BCH** in my crypto-wallet is just one of my ultimate goals that I really want to achieve here in the world of blogging. Like the many users here, it didn't became so smooth and fast. As I also encountered challenges like the famous **$0 in noise.cash** and **to get Rusty's attention**. But because I didn't quit? I got them all happened, for real. That $0? I got it back to normal and Rusty had finally visited my articles by July 27, 2021 that I shared thru this article: **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
To have this 1BCH is not easy and fast .... It'll surely took time and challenges? It's always there. What we need to do is to be more patient, determined, and positive. *Not with the virus ah, hihi!* More so, don't stop and just continue no matter what happens. **And, that's what I exactly did this past few months. ❤**
By **October 31**, I finally have **0.91** **BCH** in my coins.ph wallet. And, last November 05 (Friday)? I shared in my noise.cash post that I am already near to my first 1BCH. Here it is:
View my noise.cash post here: https://noise.cash/post/1xmrq7kv
I said that I can have it maybe in a week, considering some factors ..... but hey! I didn't expect it that I'll have it more earlier than what I expect. Uhoooo!
Yesterday morning, I only have **0.87 BCH** in my coins.ph wallet. And on that very same day? I experienced this overflowing generosity of the noise.cash team. My coins.ph app? It kept on receiving more and more BCH amounts. Gadddd! To have my minimum payouts for **17 times** in just a single day of posting nonsense contents in noise.cash? I didn't expect it uy. As in! And, because of this? That **0.87 BCH** by the start of my morning yesterday, it became **1BCH** by the evening. 😍❣
I started to focused in hodling by the start of **July**, this year. And, finally! After **4 months and seven days** of hodling? I finally unlocked one of my ultimate goals as a blogger. Uwiiiii!
Now, sana all (hope all) no more. Why? Because ......
FINALLY, I SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCKED MY FIRST 1BCH! 😻👏🏻
By **November 27** at exactly **9:38 in the evening**, while I am busy scrolling down my phone and making a living in silence, I finally got this much awaited numbers! <3
1 Bitcoin Cash? UNLOCKEDDDDDD! 🔓
On the photo below, that is how my BCH wallet looks like by 9:38PM.
And by this 1:54PM of November 08, 2021? **I got thissss! 💝💖**
My plans after I finally have this numbers? As usual, **HODL while accumulating more**. :)
I would also like to thank all those people who helped me upon achieving this goal. I won't name you, guys because you are so many. Hihi! Yes, I know that you'll say that it's all on me, on my hard works, efforts, and perseverance. But, I won't make it alone. So, thank y'all! Especially to the team and to all of the people behind this awesome platforms that gave us the opportunity to grow and make a living. I appreciated it, so much! 🤗
Again, this is me, **imanagrcltrst,** proudly saying that .....
"I am finally a 1BCH HODLer!" 💜

For Myself: Plans For Holiday Gifts
Many of us (or should I say, all?) are dreaming for a more prosperous and happier Christmas and New Year, every year. To have different dishes at our tables, happily talking with the whole family, smiling so genuinely at each other.
On the previous years, it's so difficult for our family to have different dishes at our table during the Holidays (Christmas and New Year). We just usually have spaghetti and some fruits. That's when we still really lack in financial aspect. However, we are already satisfied with it. Why? Just the fact that we'll celebrate it the five of us in the family, complete? It's already enough. 💙
But when I started to think in a more mature way? I started dreaming to make our Holidays more happier and prosperous than what we are having before. Not because I aren't satisfied anymore, but I want our family to experience more and better things.
Since that I can make a living now, I started saving for the Holidays. It all started by the first day of what we called *"Ber months",* the month of September. I created a wallet in bitcoin.com wherein I named it as "**For Christmas (Sept- $1 A Day Challenge)**." And, I will change the month indicated every other month.
How will it be done? I will send $1 in that wallet, everyday. Whereas that $1 will come from my daily earnings in noise.cash.
September has 30 days and October has 31 days. In November, we will have 30 days and 31 days on December. Overall, we've got **122 days** for this four months.
I planned to save $1 (with its equal amount in BCH) for three months and twenty days. The three months was from September to November with an addition of 20 days from the 31 days of December. To sum it all, **I have 111 days to save**. If I successfully make it until December 20, I'll have an **estimated $111** (depends on the current trends in the crypto-market).
As of now, I already saved **0.1 BCH** or **$60** (with the current price in the crypto-market) and excluding the first seven days of November. And, I still have 43 remaining days to save. Then, I'll start saving for another thing/s by the start of year 2022.
Yesterday, November 06, I started making a list for the gifts that I will be giving for our family. And also to myself, of course. I am planning to give some simple gifts to parents and to my two younger siblings. And because I want to be fair, I'll also give some to my 6-7 younger cousins. Because I still don't have godchild in this age of mine? *Magpapaka-galante tayo*. Char! Depends on the budget pala. 🙈
Me be like: *Sulitin habang wala pang inaanak. Haha!*
To make it all, I am planning to give some gifts for approximately 12 persons (including myself). *'Di pwedeng wala si self noh, dapat fair. HIHI! XD* And my budget for the gifts? Maybe **$40-50**.
Now, let me share some of the things that I had listed yesterday. And, this things are those ones that I will give to myself. 💖
I created an image for those things and here it is:
As you can see, most of it are clothing. Actually, I seldom buy clothes for myself. Why? There are a lot of our family friends and relatives that are giving me cloths, most are brand news so I ain't need to buy on my own.
Nonetheless, I still buy cloths for myself sometimes. And, I just bought another sets last month. And this time, it'll be the first time that I'll let myself to be *budol* again. I mean, major *budol.* 😂
Yesterday, I already add such things in my cart. Now, let me share the stuffs that I will buy **for myself** ..... only.
1. Bralettes
I am a great fan of this ones. I don't know why, but I am so comfortable wearing this pieces of cloths specifically those that I can really feel the air in my back. Especially when I often stay inside our room for days? Doing some plates? Ahhh! It's so comfty. As in! Good thing that my parents aren't that conservative and strict on our way of dressing. But, of course. We are prohibited to wear this outside the house. *Magdoble or magpalit ka, kung kinakailangan. HAHA!*
2. Shirts and ternos
In terms of the shirt, I wear both those fitted and loose ones. But, when I saw this ones? My eyes were like this: 😍😍. So, I immediately add it to my Shopee cart. However, I can say that I am not fond of wearing such dresses but I am wearing it, seldom. So, I just opt to buy terno (pair) clothes like the brown romper in the next photo.
Actually, I am planning to buy three shirts and two ternos. But, *ito pa lang nakikita ko na pasok sa taste ko eh. Hehe, hanap pa ulit ako.*
3. Sleeveless tops
Aside from bralettes, this pieces are what I also usually wear at home. It made me move so comfty and flexible eh. Actually, I also added different colors of this sleeveless tops on my cart and it's for my sister. *Para pareho kami, hehe. Kikay kasi 'yun kaya swak 'yan sa kaniya.*
Anyways, here's some of the shorts that I liked. Can be wear for both outdoors and indoors, so yeah.
Aside from the clothing, I also added some things. And, here they are:
4. Room curtains
Since that I am planning to do some self-renovation (Char! XD) of our mini-room, tadaaa! I also included some curtains on my cart. A thick and a thin one.
5. Phone cases
And, that's all. To sum it all, there are a total of 18 pieces. Just for myself! Yes, sa akin lang iyan lahat. 🙈 I tried to calculate my possible expenses with estimation and it can be one thousand four hundred pesos (PhP 1,400) or $28. Actually, I feel like it's too much. But, I want to treat myself for grinding this year. Then, so be it.
I know that my parents will understand it, *baka nga sabihin pa na kulang pa*. Kidding! :D
Honestly, I let Shopee to *budol* me. But, it'' be the first time that I'll purchase this big. For me, it's okay. It's okay even though it's a little bit expensive on my side, but I want to make myself and my family happier. Then, so be it *talaga.* 💪🏻
That's all for today's article. It's a little bit long again but ....
Hope you'll like it! HAPPY READING. ❣
"On the Holidays, let's treat ourselves more. For all of the grindings that we did for the whole year. It's okay to spent some, but just be wise. Do some budgeting."

I'm Making A Living In Silence
Last August 2020, I decided to work while studying. What I got in my mind is to start a tutorial sessions, just within in our community. Why I come with the idea to work? **Our needs. My needs.** I realized that I have so many needs in school that our parents can give to me. Our needs at home that our parents can't shoulder anymore.
Another reason? I don't want to depend on my degree anymore. I don't want to wait for me to graduate before I start building a more better future for me, for our family. I don't want to especially that I had realized that I don't need to wait because I can start it now. While I am stull studying. Many people are doing it and they succeed. So, why not give it a shot? And, that's what I did.
However, **I want to be low-key**. I don't want the people around me to always watch what I am doing, to wait for what can I do and have. Why? They aren't waiting for my success, they're waiting for my failures and mistakes. So, that they can have something to talk at. To make me feel more shameful. *This, this is what my Mama's relatives are waiting.*
Last September 2019, I started my life of being a **tutor**. I got two regular clients and both are studying in a private schools in our city. In this job? I wasn't a low-key. Since that my tutees are just living in our community, I tend to often just walk. And, there are many times that people will ask me where will I go. That I will answer so politely until that question will go further and reach the point for them to ask, *"how much are you earning?"* Just, what? My parents aren't even asking me about my earnings then they will? It's not that I want them to, but there are times that it's not to compliment me. I don't want them to use my earnings as a topic because it will always lead to two things; *to compliment me* or *to say that I am becoming a 'mayabang.'*
And also, I want to work in silence. I want to make a living in silence. And, this is what I can't have as a tutor.
Not until ........ I met noise.cash and read.cash.
After being a user for months, I started to be able to save more than what I had expected at the beginning.
Before, earning a hundred every week was so fine to me. It's so fine, as long as I can have some to use for my weekly load allowance. I am already contented at it. But, it changed. As I kept on reading contents from my co-creators, sharing what they are having in return of being more patient? I can't help but to feel so inspired. I started to view what will happen on the next days and months if I will grind more and use my inspiration to be successful in this platforms.
I was smiling while imagining me, doing some groceries, *makapag-pundar,* and spoiling myself and our family with my earnings in blogging. And so, I grind and dig more and more.
Until the day that I can finally by our groceries with my blogging earnings came.
That first time was through my read.cash earnings that I shared in this article:
**Noise.cash And Read.cash Helps Me To?** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/noisecash-and-readcash-helps-me-to-6ec1976d
Since then, it seems to be sculpted in my mind that *"I can do that again."* And, all that I need to do is be more patient, focused, determined, dedicated, and career-oriented.
Actually, by now? I already did bought our two to three-weeks supplies for so many times. In fact, I can't even count it now. And, it's all because of **blogging**. Because of **noise.cash** and **read.cash**.
Aside from the groceries? I was also able to throw a simple celebration to our family's birthdays and other occasions.
`Here are the articles where I shared this moments:`
**She Turned Eleven** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/she-turned-eleven-1c82d25d
**I Turned Twenty-One: I Grown Older** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/i-turned-twenty-one-i-grown-older-77867313
**He Turned Eighteen** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/he-turned-eighteen-f23de527
And, in all this events in our life?
Read.cash made it happened. 💙
In addition, I had some days that I got to spoil myself and our family with simple things. By September, I started to buy something for myself every time that I am withdrawing some of my earnings in blogging. Like buying new sling bags, clothes, my school needs such as laboratory tools (as shown on the pictures below).
I know, I know that people here in our compound was asking, *"Why am I able to buy such boxes of groceries and sack of rice, more often?"* , "*Why are we able to go to the market more often than before?"* or *"How can we celebrate our birthdays with cakes that we can't do before?"*
How? Especially that they aren't seeing me working outside as what they can see and know is that Mama is the only one who's working for us. And, that I was always at the house, studying. That, that is what they know. So, how? How can me make our life more lighter, by now?
I can say that for them, I and our family are somehow lifting our lives. But the greatest question is **"how?"** And, I can feel it. I can feel that they already know that I am making a living now. How? They're (Mama's siblings) asking if they can borrow money from me like I am an ATM machine that always have some to release when they asked. But, I am not. I am not an ATM machine and will never allow myself to be one.
Yes, I am making a living but it's not for borrowing. They are meant to be saved and make bigger. For our future that I am dreaming for.
This, this is another reason why I want to be a low-key. I have a soft heart, but I don't want to be anymore. I want to have a soft yet more tougher heart. Why? They became used to it. Used to borrowing but won't give it back. I don't want to be selfish, but I need to think of what will possibly happen that'll won't benefit me.
Yes, Mama and Tita already knows that I am earning through writing an article. That was just what they know and I don't have the plans to spill how much am I earning in blogging. Though, I know that Mama won't ask me because she knows that I want to keep it with myself and I can feel that she respects that. But, Tita and the other siblings of Mama? I don't know. So, might as well to stay in silence.
The question is, "***Am I successfully doing it now?***" I can say, **"Yes."** HOW? No one knows that:
*I am earning higher than what I am expecting, sometimes are higher than their daily income.*
*I already have 5-digits in my wallet.*
Now, I can say that "I am making a living in silence." 💚
As long as I am able to stay in silence? I have the freedom that I am keeping. The freedom to do what I want, the freedom that I am getting and using in blogging. And, I don't plan that freedom to be in risk.
My earnings in blogging is not a stable one, it can increase or decrease. And, I am already used to it. What I, we need to do is just to know how to go with it.
Aside from noise.cash and read.cash, I am also mining some Bitcoin in StormGain. And just yesterday, I had reached 0.0003 BTC.
When I tried to know it's equivalent amount in Philippine currency? I was so overwhelmed that I can already buy a half cavan of rice with it. And, no one in the family knows about it. It's just me, you, guys in noise.cash and read.cash, and Him who knows.
It's just that I don't know how to withdraw it. I tried but it wasn't a successful one. *So, can you teach me?* 😊
As of this moment, I am also considering entering the life in **AxieBCH.** Again, I feel so inspired especially to Ate @bmjc98. And, I planned to join this week. I wasn't that knowledgeable enough, but I am so willing to learn. Always.
That's all for today's article. It seems to be a little **"sabaw"** but, hoping that you, guys will still like it.
HAPPY READING, EVERYONE! 💝

First Dose: Unlocked
On the month of October, I unlocked another unplanned goal. What is it? **To be fully vaccinated with CoViD-19 vaccine. 💉**
It wasn't on my plans to be vaccinated by that month until my Tita said that we should just walk-in and do not wait for the schedule that will be given by the Barangay Health Workers, as it was really taking too long.
And, successfully! I can now say that my worries are lessened. My worries to be infected, my worries that my immunity may not be that tougher, and my worries for this so-called *"Bakuna Bubble."*
This worries may not be gone, but it can be lessened. And, I felt that the moment the vaccine got into my system.
`I shared my journey all the way on this one and you, guys can read it in this articles:`
**Got My First Dose of Pfizer** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4
**October 29, 2021: I Got Fully Pfizer'd** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/october-29-2021-i-got-fully-pfizerd-db9856a5
As before November comes in, I already did my part. This month? It's my parents' and my younger brother's turn to fulfill their parts. And it started on this day, November 03, year 2021. 💚
Last week, my parents along with me and my Tita was planning for the day that they'll get their first dose. Actually, it should be done by October as I already registered ourselves by September. But sadly, Mama got sick for almost more than two weeks. Making them to not be able to get the vaccine with us, me and Tita. In short, *'di sila nakasabay sa amin.* After she was checked by a doctor, it took days (less than a week) for her to fully recover. We waited for another two weeks before we come up with them, having their shots by the first week of November.
Since that walk-ins will be entertained starting by this Monday to Friday, they'll decided to go by Wednesday. Actually, there will be a **Barangay Bakuna Caravan** here in our city starting by this day to Friday. Even though our barangay was scheduled tomorrow, Mama and Papa was determined to get it today. *Kasi ayun na daw 'yung plano eh.*
And, that day has finally come!
By 4:11AM, Mama wake me up because I will accompany them, specifically Papa. He's a PWD (Person With Disability) and he needs some assistance in filling up the vaccination form. He can write but it's slow, so he really needs assistance.
Before Mama wakes me up, they are already done taking a bath. And, because I am thinking that they can be late in lining up if I will take a bath too? It ends up with me going to the vaccination venue without taking a bath. In short, *walang ligo-ligo. HAHAHA! Sornaaa. 🙈 Mabango pa din naman ako ih. Hihi! :D*
Back to the topic. Before the clock ticks at 5:00AM? We're already at the venue. Upon seeing the empty venue? I was shocked.
Actually, I thought that maybe there will be no vaccination to happen today because there's no one on the place. *Wala pang naka-pila kahit five o'clock na.* I even checked the city's official Facebook page to check for the schedule and glad that there will be a vaccination today. *Sadyang wala pa lang talagang tao.*
And, tadaaa! Because we arrived so early, Mama and Papa was on the first and second spot.
I was sitting in one of the empty chairs while waiting for them to step up on the Step 1. As time passes by, people started to come. One by one or by group.
Like what I shared on my previous articles, there are five steps on getting the vaccine. Here they are:
Step 1: Registration
-Prepare our Identification Cards (ID) with our birthdates indicated.
**Step 2:** Screening https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-2-screening
-The facilitators will get our body temperature and blood level. So, just relax and calm down our nerves and tissues. :D
**Step 3:** Health Education Counseling https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-3-health-education-counseling
-Be honest with them. If we have some colds and coughs or any other bad feelings, tell them. As it will affect the efficacy of the vaccine once that it was introduced to our bodies.
**Step 4:** Vaccine Administration https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-4-vaccine-administration
Step 5: Monitoring Observation
`Disclaimer: This part was from my article "Got My First Dose of Pfizer"`
Before 6:30AM, the traffic enforcer arrived and started to arranged the chairs. Then, the people (including my parents) who are sitting on the bench (that serves as the waiting area) was then instructed to go down and sit on the chairs allotted for Step 1. Since that Papa was a PWD, he sat on the priority lane.
When the facilitators arrived and the things that they need are already arranged, the processing had finally started. Papa was the second one to be entertained by the facilitators, with me on his side while assisting him. I am also the one who filled up the vaccination form for him. After minutes of processing, he's finally done with the Step 4 which is the administering of the vaccine. So, he proceeded on the Step 5 (Monitoring Observation). Then after just two to three minutes, Mama was vaccinated next.
The process was so smooth and no problems or chaos was encountered.
By November 03, 2021 at exactly 9:04AM, they are finally vaccinated with their first dose of Pfizer. 💙
And, we wouldn't let this day pass without having some remembrance. **So, in 3, 2, 1 .... say cheese, parents! 📸**
`Hello kay Papa na nagpa-picture kahit na napaka-camera shy.`
Next? It's brother's turn. Tomorrow, he will get his first dose on the Barangay Bakuna Caravan. Actually, he don't like to get the vaccine at first and I told my parents to do not force him. Glad that he changed his mind this morning, so good luck, bro! You can do it. 💪🏻 *Karayom lang 'yan uy. Hihi!*
Are they feeling any side effects?
By now, they are feeling the heaviness of their left arm. So, I was the one who's doing most of the tasks by this afternoon as they can't work due to the side effect that they are feeling. It's actually okay for me as I also want them to get more rest after having the vaccine.
For this part, let me give you, guys some information that you can used upon getting the vaccine or for deciding on whether to be vaccinated or not.
`Disclaimer: Again, this was from my other article that I just copy and pasted.`
On this part, let me share some of the observations while being in the venue that you, guys can use before, during, and after the vaccination: https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#on-this-part-let-me-share-some-of-my-observations-while-being-in-the-venue https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#also-here039s-some-reminders-that-you-guys-can-use-before-during-and-after-the-vaccination
**Before**
-Eat first. Have something in our stomachs.
-Remember bring foods and drinks.
-Prepare all the needed things before leaving the house. Bring your own pens, ID, birth certificate, etcetera.
**During**
-Strictly follow health protocols.
-Be observant and attentive. Remember to always be polite when talking and asking.
-Seniors, Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), and pregnant women are priorities. Do not be hot headed upon waiting, be more patient, and broaden our understanding. Don't be to persistent. *Kapag sinabing mauuna ang mga priorities, don't make up stories just to be prioritized too.*
-Once the facilitator told us to get Pfizer, AstraZenica, Moderna, or other vaccine, follow what they said. Don't be *pasaway.*
-Calm down! It's a must. :)
**After**
-Observe ourselves for possible side effects of the vaccine.
-Follow the instructions said by the facilitators.
-Drink medicine (here in the Philippines, paracetamol is advised.) immediately as we start to feel side effects.
-Take a good rest.
**In addition, learn to ask for questions that we don't know or are not sure about.** ***Libre po ang pagtatanong, kaya i-push natin 'to*** *(English: Asking for questions is free. So, let's do this.)***. 🧡**
*Are you planning to be vaccinated? Or having doubts and second thoughts about it? There's a way to ease our worries.*
Do Your Own Research or the DYOR. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#do-your-own-research-or-the-dyor

November Says, "Follow Your Dreams"
About two days ago, October bids its good bye and said, **"see you next year."** Meanwhile, here comes November who said and asked, **"Hi! How are you? Are you ready for me?"**
And, what had you, we answered? Many said, *"Yes, we're ready."* Somebody said, *"No, not yet. Hadn't moved on from October."*
However, many of us still on the process of looking back to what happened last October. Highlighting happy, sad, stressful, and stress-free moments. And, I am done with it already. Whereas I successfully shared it through this article: **October, Highlights To Remember** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/october-highlights-to-remember-534aefef
November, it's another month that means *"another start"* to most of us.
Start? For what? For another goals. To start continuing upon achieving our dreams. To start making ourselves more better and better. Yes, we can't be perfect but remember that we can always be better. 💚
For this month, I'll hold on to this phrase.
"Follow your dreams." 💗
Since that I no longer need to save for such family occasions like birthdays or anniversary, I can focus on achieving one of my ultimate goals (dream) in life. What is it? **To save and start my journey to be financially stable, little by little.**
Yes, I can't achieve it with just a month or two. But, I can still make a progress. We can! So, here I am now. Will going to continue my journey to that dream.
However, I am still aware that converting some of my earning into fiat is possible to happen. As long as our, my needs are on the side? Converting will happen. Though, I just need to limit it.
So, for me to be able to make that dream happen? I need to make some actions. How to? Through having a set of goals. Goals that will push me more to move and dig. <3
For this month of November, I have a fewer goals that I usually aimed every month.
**And, here they are:**
Earn at least:
**(A) 0.2 BCH in noise.cash;**
I started having this goal by August with 0.4BCH with just noise.cash alone. However, I wasn't able to reach this numbers. But, it didn't demotivated me. Instead, I tried again. Though, I just decided to lower it by September and October with 0.2 BCH. And, I was finally able to have it added on my current hodlings in my crypto-wallet. **Good news, I even exceed it. 💙**
Last month, I got 0.24+ BCH. So this month? I will give it a shot again. Hopefully, I can still reach it. Even though I find it a lil bit difficult to reach $1 in noise.cash, nowadays.
`Ps. I am not complaining. Sanay na ako sa ganito. Hihi! Tyagaan lang talaga sa paghihintay. 😉`
**(B) 0.1 BCH in read.cash**
Like what I did in noise.cash, I also started it last August. And, guess what? I just achieve it once and that was just by August. On the next month of September and October? Hehe, I hadn't successfully reached it eh. Why? Two words, academics and responsibilities.
But, I will still willing to try and try. Not because I just want to have a big amount of earnings, but to push myself more. On what? To be more determined and dedicated to what I am committed with. In this world, it's what we called **blogging** and being a **content creator. 💪🏻**
For Christmas (November- $1 A Day Challenge)
This one, I started it in the first month of what we called as *"Ber Months"* which is by September. And, I am so glad to say that I successfully filled my 'For Christmas wallets' with BCH coins.
And look, I already had created another wallet to fill in. Say 'Hi!' to my ***For Christmas (November- $1 A Day Challenge*** wallet.
*Come and join me on continuing my journey of saving up and preparing for the upcoming Christmas. 🧡*
Finish my business plan.
Last October, I aimed to finish the first draft of my thesis outline. And, I was able to finish it before the last day of submission comes in. Now, I am gonna aim to accomplish my business plan. It's not easy to do as it's not like the business plan that we did in high school, but I know that I can do it. **My fighting spirit will help me on this!**
Publish 8-10 articles.
Since I started to aim for numbers of articles that I should publish every month? I hadn't accomplished it yet. But maybe, lowering it will be a big thing. And, I just need to be more committed on this journey that I chose to enter months ago.
*Just more determination, dedication, and commitment? I can do this! 🥰*
1 Bitcoin Cash! 💕
**1BCH,** four characters (1 numerical, 3 alphabetical characters). This, this is one of our top goals here in world of blogging and crypto.
At the beginning, it wasn't on my mind. Just to have some earnings to be used for my weekly load? That's already enough for me. But, as I got to stay here for longer time? It changed. The want to have this numbers on my wallet? It got in my system.
After months of blogging, I am finally near to it. And despite of the challenges that will hinder me in achieving this? I will still try and try and try. Until it got tired and just surrender on me. Hahaha! XD
So, guysuuu? Let's keep on following our dreams until we finally have it in our hands. 💝
*Good luck to us in achieving our goals. It's not easy but we can do this. We surely can! Just keep on making more actions, be more patient, and don't lose hope. And always remember to "trust the process, ourselves, and Him."*

October, Highlights To Remember
Today is October 31, the last day of this month.
Few hours from now, October will be come to an end and **November** will come in for us to start a brand new beginning.
A beginning with either another sets of goals or maybe just the same goals with some additional ones. Either of the two, let's make the most out of it. Just like how this month of October and the other months had been.
Before we start facing another month with both blessings and challenges, let's do some ***"remembering"*** on how did this month had goes for us.
Last October 03, I shared my target monthly goals for this month through this article: **October, Are You Ready For Me?****.** And, now that October will about to bid its "*Good bye and see you next year*"? Let me share what happened to this goals of mine, first. Before I start with another set, again and again. Like I used to do, every month. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/october-are-you-ready-for-me-d7c9a74d
Sharing this two self-made photos of my **October Goals**.
This month, I have this eight goals that I want to accomplish. But, did I? Did I accomplished them all? Or maybe, just a few of them? Well, let's find out.
In 3, 2, 1 .........
Presenting the highlights of my October journey! 💙
Here are the goals that I want to accomplished at the end of the month. Had I accomplished it?
*Then keep on scrolling, to find out. 😉*
**Save for bro's 18th birthday**
Our parents', my, and my younger sister's birthday had already celebrated on the previous months. Now, it's bro's turn to celebrate his birthday. The date that he will be on the legal age will about to come this month. I had financed our birthday celebrations even just in the simplest way that I known. And, for me to be able throw a celebration for him? I need to save. And, so I did. I saved some of the portions of my read.cash earnings this month. Had I succeed? **Of course, I am. 💛**
But, I just kept it to myself. *Pa-surprise ba. Hihi!*
Throw a simple celebration for:
**(A) Bro's 18th birthday;**
My brother will turn eighteen by October 21. Among the five of us in the family, I can say that his birthday is the most neglected. Not that so neglected, but it is. And since that I can make a living on myself, will I let his special day pass without having a simple celebration? Of course .... not. So, I pushed myself more. I worked more, dug even more. What did I had in return for working out for his special day? **His smiles.** *Those smiles that eased all my tiredness, his smiles that made me smiled, too. As his big sister, that's so enough for me. More than enough, actually. 💝*
You can read the article that I wrote for him. Here it is: **He Turned Eighteen** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/he-turned-eighteen-f23de527
**(B) Parents' 22nd Wedding Anniversary**
October 30, a day before the month ends. There is a couple who will be celebrating their 22nd year of being married to each other. Who are they? **My parents.**
Yesterday, Mama and Papa had successfully unlocked another year together. Despite of being a *"cat-and-dog"* who was so fond of pissing and messing up with each one? They still hold on to each other. So, as a proud daughter? I secretly saved, again. I kept it to myself that I will give them some presents and I succeed, again.
**All thanks to my scholarship allowance.** *Wieeee!*
With this simple foodies, I made them smile so beautifully. **I made their day, a way more happier. 💖**
Earn at least:
**(A) 0.2 BCH in noise.cash**
Last month, I am able to exceed my target noise.cash earnings. And, this made me motivated to continue. Like the previous month of September, I aimed for 0.2 BCH earnings with just noise.cash itself. And, I was so glad that I even exceeded it. Now? I still feel the same. As I had earned more than my target, one more time.
Though, my inactivity seems to affect my earnings a liitle bit? I am still so glad that I still managed to be in track. And, it's soooo overwhelming. <3
`Next month again, self. Okieee? 🤗`
**(B) 0.1 BCH in read.cash**
This certain goal, I am so sure that I won't make it. Writing an article is so far compare to composing a post in noise.cash. , we need to allot an hour or two or more just to come up with another article. And since that I was so busy in my academic life and in the outside-of-virtual world? I know from the very start that I won't be able to reach this number.
But, even though I hadn't reach it? I am still happy. Because I still managed to have some progress in here, despite of my busy life in building my career and our future.
*'Di ko man na-reach si 0.1BCH? At least, may usad pa din naman kahit papaano. At, ito iyon:*
Come back in read.cash.
On the month of September, I was so inactive. So inactive that I hadn't even made it to write my target 10 articles. Instead of 10? I was just able to wrote eight articles. See? But, it didn't demotivated me. Perhaps, it made me to be determined, even more. It intensifies my eagerness to keep on going. Until I decided to gain my activeness, little by little. Slowly but surely.
And, I am proud to say that I made it! I can say that I am more active this month than last month. It's just that I was like a *mushroom* on the first two weeks, as I got so busy with my thesis outline and some activities. But still, I managed to come back. **On one of my homes in this virtual world. 🏡**
Finish my proposed thesis outline.
This one, this one is the most difficult to do among all of the requirements that our Professors and Instructors are giving to us. We are given three weeks to finish our first draft of our individual thesis outline and if we can not? We will be given a **"No Grade"** remark on this subject. Which is a total "NO NO" for me. I can't have this remark because my scholarship will really be at risk. Asking for an appeal is not that easy, after all. So, "no no" *talaga.*
What did I do to prevent that to happen? I grind, more. I focused and intensified my determination. After days of having a bonding with my laptop screen and keyboard? I made it. **I FINISHED IT! 💙** Now, I am just waiting for the revisions.
**1 Bitcoin Cash!**
1 BCH, the one that I am looking forward since I entered this world full of content creators.
It's been months since I started hodling up for good. I started by July and up until now. What happened in the duration of this months? My current hodlings was near to my ultimate goal of having 1BCH in my crypto-based wallets. And, for over four months? I am proud to say that I am on 0.9 BCH, by now.
If I was just in need for some conversions? I am so sure that I had even surpassed 1BCH, already. But, I didn't regretted converting my hodlings. Because I used it for good things naman.
I didn't unlocked this one, this month. However, I will still give it a shot next month or months? **Until I finally had it happened, for real. ✨**
`This time, let's proceed on the goal that wasn't on my list:`
For Christmas (November- $1 A Day Challenge)
Well, it's actually one of my goals. It's just that I forgotten to add it on my list. Last September 01, I started saving for the upcoming Christmas 2021 and for New Year, too. How? Through my **"$1 A Day Challenge."** Whereas I am gonna send $1 on the wallet that I made for this goal.
By September, I had successfully saved 0.048+ BCH which was equivalent to +$28 by today's BCH price.
And, this month? I got to add 0.051+ BCH on my first month's savings for Christmas, amounting of +$30.
For this two months? I already had $60.
Actually, it's already a big amount for what I am planning to have this coming Christmas and New Year. But, I will still continue it. Still have two months pa eh. .💚
`Here are the unplanned goals that I had accomplished:`
This ones are those that I didn't planned or expected to accomplished.
Published ten articles.
Because of my busy schedule outside this world, I didn't set a taget numbers for the articles that I should publish. Instead, I decided to take this slow. And, here's what I've got:

Being vaccinated. I changed my mind on not getting the vaccine for CoViD-19. However, I didn't planned on when to have it. It just happened so suddenly. And fast, too.
By October 08, I got my first shot of Pfizer.

Minutes ago, I saw this notification that I was mentioned in an article. And, I am so happy that I was noticed by my other co-content creators. Thank you po, MizLhaine. 💙
October 29, 2021: I Got Fully Pfizer'd
Last October 08, I got my first dose of Corona Virus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) vaccine which is the Pfizer. That I shared through this article: **Got My First Dose of Pfizer** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4
`Feel free to read it, fellas. 💚`
Exactly twenty days after the first dose was introduced to my body, tadaaa! My schedule for second dose had finally came. October 29, the day that I am gonna say, **"I am fully vaccinated."**
In this article, lemme share how did this day goes. And what had I encountered through the hours of waiting to be vaccinated, for the second time.
3:27AM
I woke up early in the morning as we are planning to be at the vaccination venue before 5:30AM. So that we can be first in the line and to avoid being in too crowded place with many people from different barangays in our municipality.
Actually, I alarmed my phone by four o'clock, followed by 4:15, 4:30, and 5:00. But, I suddenly woke up as there is a chicken who made a sound in my mind with it's typical *'tiktilaok.'* Then, I woke up thinking that Mister Sun was already up but aaahhhh! It's just 3:27AM. 🙈
4:08AM
This is the time when I just got up from the bed. Of course, I grabbed some minutes to use my phone first and to *muni-muni.* As I got up, I prepared some Nissin ramen as my breakfast. I am not a fan of heavy breakfast, so I'm already satisfied with just a noodles. And, I'm not eating my breakfast by early in the morning as I usually eat by 9:00AM. Yah know, my stomach will react so bad. HAHA! While I was waiting for it to be cooked, I prepared my clothes and put my thins in my sling bag. It includes my wallet, handkerchief, alcohol, extra facemask, pen, and of course, my vaccination card.
I also bought a copy of my birth certificate issued by PSA. Just to make sure and to avoid the hassle that I encountered on my first dose.
4:17AM
After I ate my breakfast and prepared my stuffs, time to take a bath. Brrrrr! It's so cold to take a bath by this time. *Para akong magyeyelo. 🥶*
4:44AM
By 4:44, I'm already done taking a cold bath and started to prepare myself. Before we leave the house, I checked my things first and gladly, I hadn't forgotten anything.
4:51AM
We leave the house by this time and Papa will drive us to the vaccination venue which was located at the city proper. By exactly **5:01AM,** we're already on the line with me being on the 8th spot.
See? The venue still has the lights on. The only people in there are the government employees who's cleaning the area. However, it's better to be early than to be on the end of the looooong line.
Before the clock ticks at six o'clock, the bench that serves as the waiting area before proceeding to the chairs allotted for Step 1 was near to be fully occupied.
Here is me, along with the other people who was on the line, hoping that the vaccination will go smoothly. But, we're all wrong. As in!
*Storytelling*
There are many of us who did such sacrifices just to come at the venue, more earlier. But then, there's also this people who we're just thinking on what's good for them. The waiting area is on the bench, but this new comers who arrived when the sun was already shining doesn't mind us.
They immediately sat on the chairs on the Step 1. The elders and other people who was with us on the bench was telling them what to do. But sadly, their ears are close. Same as on their minds. And, guess what? The enforcers that was called to help us solve this matter, didn't even made this violators to stand. They don't care and what they did? They insisted their sides, even if they are fully aware that they violated a rule.
One of the enforcers even said that there's this woman who pointed a finger on him. Just, what? That person is one of the city's officers who was just trying to solve the chaos that they started and pointing a finger on him? That's so disrespectful.
*So, guys. Don't violate a rule or policy that we are totally aware of their existence and the possible consequences of it. Let's be disciplined enough, so that other people will be more motivated to also be an abider and not a rule-breaker or violator.*
Let's forget this scenario. Before seven o'clock, the chairs was being organized by the enforcers. So that we can come down and sat on the chairs for Step 1.
Just like before, we need to undergo five steps just to get vaccinated. And, here are the steps that I shared on my article pasted above:
**Step 1:** Registration https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-2-screening
-Prepare our Identification Cards (ID) with our birthdates indicated.
**Step 2:** Screening https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-2-screening
-The facilitators will get our body temperature and blood level. So, just relax and calm down our nerves and tissues. :D
**Step 3:** Health Education Counseling https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-3-health-education-counseling
-Be honest with them. If we have some colds and coughs or any other bad feelings, tell them. As it will affect the efficacy of the vaccine once that it was introduced to our bodies.
**Step 4:** Vaccine Administration https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#step-4-vaccine-administration
Last day (Thursday) and today (Friday), the facilitators will just accommodate those who will get the second dose of the vaccines. Those that will get the first dose will be resumed by November 02.
The vaccines that are available are **Pfizer**, **Sinovac**, and **AstraZenica**. Though, there are just twelve person that can get the last mentioned vaccine as the supply was just limited here in our place.
After undergoing the **Steps 1 to 3**, I am now up to **Step 4** which the 'Vaccine Administration.' Several minutes after falling in line, I am about to say 'Hi' to the syringe. *Uhooo! Ayan na naman s'ya.*
There are just several of us who will about to get Pfizer. So after the Step 3, I was immediately the one to sat on the chair for those who will meet the injection. HAHAHA! Actually, I am not that afraid of syringe but I don't know. The feeling just gave me some creeps.
But then, tadaaaa!
BY 9:38AM, I GOT MY SECOND DOSE OF PFIZER. 💕
Now, let's get on the last step of the vaccination journey.
Step 5: Monitoring Observation
Just like my first dose, I just felt this sting on the area where I got injected that prolongs for minutes after it was gone. Then, I also felt slight headache that was still bearable.
By October 08, I was so proud to say that I GOT MY FIRST DOSE OF VACCINE.
Now, by October 29 (exactly 9:38AM), I was more proud to say that I'M FULLY VACCINATED WITH PFIZER. 💚💖
Of course, it will not end just by getting back our vaccination cards. We'll also get some remembrance with our own photographs.
**In 1, 2, 3. Say cheese, self! 📸**
Now, it's Mama and Papa's turn to get their vaccines. They will get their first dose as the schedule for first dose resumes, which was by November 02. **Good luck, parents!** 💙
As for bro, he's still undecided. Don't want to force him, so will just let him decide first. While we are still encouraging him.
How about you? Are you already vaccinated? Half-vaccinated or fully vaccinated? Either of the two, let me say **"Congratulations for a job-well done! 💗"**
Still undecided on whether to take the vaccine or not? Here's my simple way of helping you, guys decide. Actually, it was from my other article that I will share again today.
Do Your Own Research or the DYOR. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4#do-your-own-research-or-the-dyor

Getting To Know Him More
Yesterday (October 27), I shared how I met my crushie and how did we got close to each other through this article: **A Crush Bloomed At 21: Where It All Begun?****.** Now, let's proceed to the next part wherein I am gonna share some things that I got to know about him after having a very looooong conversation with him. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/a-crush-bloomed-at-21-where-it-all-begun-925c6ae2
When we started our conversation, it was just purely about our thesis outline. Noting more, nothing less. It didn't got into my mind that I'll still gonna have a talk with him after we finished and submitted our individual thesis outline. Because what's the reason why we'll still talk? Our thesis outline was already done. So even though I am starting to have some feelings towards him, I put in my mind that it'll gonna end very soon.
But, I'm wrong. Because we're still having a talk until now. Apparently, it's not like before. It's not just about academics as we started to get to know each other.
Before, we are just sharing our ideas about our academic activities. What to do with this activity, on that activity? How to do it? Just like that. It didn't got in my mind that we can be able to talk about other things, aside from our lessons and such.
Now, I can comfortably share my thoughts on him. Including what will I do next after I finished another task, some of my characteristics, my preferences, and even how my Shopee cart looks like.
*Storytelling*
When I was about to place my order which are the sling bags and crop tops, I sent a screen record to him. As it was delivered on me, I also sent a photo to him before I created a post in noise.cash and he said that it's beautiful. And, I don't even know why I did that. Maybe I was just so comfty with him?
Now, let's proceed to the **Part 2** of our journey. Char! In this article. I am gonna share some of the things that I got to know about him:
Hey, I didn't stalk him, okay? It's just that we're starting to share stuffs with each other. *Na nagpapakilig sa akin. Hihi!*
He's good in drawing.
Omoooo! It's the biggest factor why I got interested with him. Before, he was sharing his drawings in his my day and I got to see them everytime. One word to describe his works? **DAAANGGGG! 😍**
And last week, they got another activity in their Agricultural Engineering subject. Whereas they need to draw 10 crop establishment machineries available here in our country. I asked him if I can see his drawings and he said that he'll just send a photo once that he finished it all. Actually, I didn't take it seriously because *baka makalimutan n'ya.* But then, he sent a photo by that night. And, here's how it looks:
Ganda hanoooo? I was asking him if it was printed because it looks like it was really printed. Then here's his penmanship, uwuuuu! *Wala na, finish na. Lalo nang kumabog si heart. HAHAHA!*
Actually, I am also waiting for him to share it on her my day but na-da. He didn't.
He's a brainy-type of guy.
Well, I already observed it even before. But he was not the type that he's so boastful, he was just working in silent. Every time that we'll have a quiz, he was sharing his score to me and of course, I will congratulate him. And, he will be shy and be humble. Seems like he don't want to be complimented ey.
And, he was also one of our university's Academic Scholars. Then here's me, being proud of him. ❣
He replies so fast.
I remembered to share this one to Ate @Jeaneth. A guy replying so fast to a girl? It's definitely a plus one to me. There are a lot of times or should I say always? HAHAH! That he'll reply seconds after I replied to him. *Kaka-reply ko pa lang pero nasi-seen na n'ya kaagad. 'Di na yata ini-exit conversation namin. 🙈*
He's so comfty to talk to.
We started our conversation by last semester, but as I backread on our talks? I got to realized that I became comfty on him days after we started to talk. I started to joke on him, share some things to him. Why? Because he's so comfty to talk to. As simple as that. Now? I am more comfortable with him. <3
He's afraid of injections.
It's the reason why he was still not registering for CoViD-19 vaccine. He's afraid of the injections. 😅
Aside from this facts, I also got to know the time when he sleeps and wakes up.
He typically sleep by 2:00AM because he's playing Mobile Legends every night. But even though he slept that late? He can still wake up by seven o'clock. A morning person, indeed.
He's a coffee lover.
He drinks his coffee every morning and every night. He also shared that he can drink two cups of hot coffee every night, especially when we have a heavy tasks to do. Every time that we're working on an activity together then I will say that I am starting to feel sleepy? He'll ask me to made a coffee. But, I'm not fond of coffee ey. And, he knows it. One of the things that I already shared with him.
He's so appreciative.
When he's asking anything to me and after I answered it? He will always say "**thank you.**" Even just I answered him with several words? He'll say this two words, always.
When I am sharing my scores on our quizzes to him? He'll always congratulate me and will then feed me with compliments. He'll complement me for being a brainy student, for being so *masipag,* and all. Which I really appreciate, so much. 💚
He's a helpful-type of guy.
This? This is one of his characteristics that I really adore. When we're having a quiz or activity, I'll always remind him because he sometimes tend to see it late as he was also a busy man.
I can still remember when he asked me if I already finished our Environmental Science quiz and I said that I'm currently taking it. Then I was so surprised when he sent another message, the answers. After that, it seems like it's already his nature to give me answers even though I was just meant to ask him if he's already done with such task whenever I am sending a screenshot of our activity. And, *ayokong masanay dito.* Not because I can be dependent on him, but I am afraid to get a more deeper feelings for him.
He's a swimmer.
I just know it when he shared a memory on his Facebook account. He's also one of our college's swimmers. Maybe that's also one of the reasons why he has this awesome body. Not that super macho, but not a sticky man. *May muscles pa nga yata ih. HIHI!*
A player of Mobile Legend.
He's fond of playing mobile legends. But, it has time. During day-time, he's just focusing on his studies. Then by ten o'clock or eleven o'clock? It's his ML time. That's why he usually slept by 2:00AM.
Fond of Shopee.
Whenever that I am sharing my Shopee budol orders on him? He usually asked if it's free shipping. When he's in need for some stuffs? Shopee to the rescue. It just feels so good that we're having the same interest on some things.
He's also a tutor.
I got to know this last week. When he said that he'll just gonna do some thing and I asked what will he do. *Grabidad, self! Haha.* And, he said that he'll just tutor his niece. Well, maybe it's for free. After that, I also shared that I am doing some tutorials too.
A strict Tito (Uncle).
The third time that he told me that he'll just do some thing, I started asking some stuffs about his tutee (his niece) like how year old is she, what grade level she's in, etcetera. And, he answered it so fast. Until I say that maybe he was so close with his niece and he said, *"maka-Tito 'yun eh."* Then, more talking had followed until I asked if his niece was being spoiled by her Tito and he said that, *"'di pwede sa'ken 'yun. Strickto ako eh."* I was waiting for that usual "HAHA" but na-da. So, it's true. He's really a strict Tito.
*Storytelling*
It came in my mind that what if we are the one who's destined to each other, how will he be as a Father to our future child/children? Thinking that he's already a strict Tito to his only niece, what more if he's already a Father?
***Wala, advance lang talaga akong mag-isip. Sige, scroll ka na. 🤣😂***
Their family business.
One time, he told me that we'll just talk later because he has some thing to do and I asked what is that. *Opo, feeling close na po ako. HAHA!* Then, he willingly shared to me that he'll help his Mother in preparing the products that they'll gonna sell. And by that, I got to know that they're into kakanin production whereas they're supplying to their city.
Family oriented and God-centered man.
This, this is what I really liked about him. Like me, he was also a family-oriented man. Who's prioritizing his family while also prioritizing his studies. A God-fearing man, who's not just simply attending their church. But, also a servant of their God. Fun fact, he's a drummer of their church too. 💗
That's it! Actually, I can sense that there's more to come pa on the next days of chatting with him. *Sana lang walang ghoster sa aming dalawa, hahaha!*
Sorry if napahaba na naman, nadala lang po. HIHI! Hope you like it, even if it seems to be like a soup article. Kidding! :D
Hoping for the time that I can write another part for this. For now, ito na lang muna. Wasn't sure if we had the same feelings eh. Also, I don't want to assume and to have a deeper feelings for him. Don't want my heart to be hurt if ever that it's just a one-sided feelings. 😉

A Crush Bloomed At 21: Where It All Begun?
**Crush,** or simply *"paghanga"* in Filipino. A girl idolizing a boy or a man, a boy idolizing a girl or a woman.
Do you already experienced to have a crush? Oh, I bet that you already are. It can be an artist from different countries or someone who we really know in real life. Someone we see inside the campus, in our community, a friend, anyone.
Anyone who we feel this **dugs dugs** from our heart. Someone who we feel the *kilig* once that our eyes met, smile at each other, or even just by simply passing by with each other.
*Storytelling*
Me? Actually, I had my first crush when I was just in Grade 3 and it prolong until we graduated in elementary. He's a transferee in our school when we are in Grade 1 and he's my seatmate until we reach the fifth grade. *Tagal hanoooo?* 😆 It just ended when he was transferred to the second section because his grades had became low. And, hey. He was aware that I had a crush on him because I didn't kept it as a secret. Yah know, *bata pa kasi eh. HAHA!* By now, we're still seeing each other whenever we're having this mini reunion and hey, we're still close and there's no awkward moments anymore. Why? Simply because I don't have a crush on him anymore. He's also studying on the same university that I am currently studying. Taking up either BS Business Administration or BS Accountancy. Don't know! 🤷🏻♀️ But, he's a tall volleyball player of our university. That's what I am sure.
Anyways, that's on the past now. Let's get back and talk about what's happening now, in the present.
So, I seen this certain post in Facebook asking where does our loves story begins.
***: Saan nagsimula ang love story n'yo?***
***: Nagreply lang ako sa my day n'ya.***
This is what the post says. In this post, an idea popped in my mind. Since that I am so fond of sharing some happenings between me and my new crushie in noise.cash, why not write an article about my him, too?
Hello to Ate @Jeaneth who I often share this things with and who said that she seems to be listening on her lil sister who's having a crush. And, also to Ate @Usagi and Ate Parotski (@Ruffa). Sana maging masaya kayo dito sa article ko. HAHAHA!
First, where did it all begin?
On my first year in college, I don't know that he's existing because that time? I am having my first ultimate crush in college. Let's just call him **"Gab"** who's also my blockmate for three consecutive semesters but sadly, he dropped out because his Mom passed away and he needs to help his father. *Sayang, may potential pa naman s'ya.* Anyways, during this semesters, I was a *tambay* in our college' dormitory that was just inside our college premises. I have a close friend who's residing in there and I was staying in their dorm when we need to do some requirements or *kapag inaantok ako. Alam mo na, makikitulog. Kahit na bawal. Sssshhh! 🙈* Whenever that I was there, I tend to always see this handsome and tall guy who has a light blue eyes and a curly hair. And, he's always with this other guy that also has a curly hair. I think, they're from dash 2. (And, I am from dash 3.)
Every time that I will see them, I'll just shrug my shoulders and that's it. *Kahit na super attracted ako 'dun sa light blue eyes ni first guy. HIHI! Attracted lang naman uy.*
Then, the first semester of Academic Year 2020-2021 will about to end. It means that we need to apply for our major practice that we'll focus on starting by the second semester of A.Y. 2020-2021 until our last year in college, fourth year. And, I pursue my first choice which is Crop Protection. I applied for Plant Pathology as my specialization, with me praying to be accepted and be included in the 30 students quota. The results came out before the first semester ends, and I got innnnn! <3
Second semester starts by January. Subjects are out and new blockmates to have for the next semesters. And, it includes him.
Another semester also means another research studies. Our young instructor for Agriculture 2125 formed a groups with random members. It's an individual papers but a group experiment. *Getsss?* I was with my two close friends on that group and him, too. But, I still do not know him that time.
And, March 27 came. The day where it all begun. Wherein a block mate had messaged me in Facebook Messenger, a guy. It's the day that I got to know his existence and to finally know who he is. His the guy that guy-with-light-blue-eyes always with. The other tall guy and the guy with the curly hair. **My crush.**
On this day, he messaged me about our group research. I even don't know why I am the one he message, where in the first place, I am not the leader.
And, this conversation continued for days and weeks. Until, I wasn't aware that I am starting to feel comfty with him. We're not just sharing some ideas about our research, but also some information about ourselves and some jokes. Like this one:
Yes, we have the same specialization. Plant Pathology.
And, we even reached the point that we starts in encouraging each other on our reporting and some other activities.
I also known that he's a working-student last summer season, working as a SPES in their municipality. By that, I seem to feel proud on him. But, I didn't take it seriously as I think that it may be just because we are friends.
But like other things, endings are about to end. Our conversation ended by May 24, few days after the Academic Year ends. That time, it's not a big thing to me. Because I don't feel something for him before.
Until, **August 06** came. He messaged me again, though I don't know what we talked about. But, I am sure that it's about academics.
Another Academic Year started. **WE'RE FINALLY IN OUR THIRD YEAR IN COLLEGE.** It means new subjects and Professors or Instructors but same block mates. And, oh! Thesis will start by this year na. OMOOOOO!
About our thesis, we'll gonna have our respective thesis adviser. And, a young Cum Laude graduate will handle me along with four other students. Including him! We are five in the advisee, two gals and three guys. The other girl is one of my close friends, so less worries on my side.
September 24, a day before my 21st birthday. He messaged me, asking for some questions about our individual thesis outline.
But, it's just goes that way. We just talked about academics and it's all done. Until, I saw his my day. It's his drawings of crops' flowers. The one that I once shared in noise.cash, the first time that I said that I have a crush.
Finally, after a year of being busy and focused in academics, I got a crush again. And, I just admitted it days after I turned 21. After days of having a week-conversation with him. *Kahit na puro acads lang topic namin.*
Here's how we started to be more closed and comfty with each other. Me, replying on his my day. Just like what was shown on the first photo above.
And, yes. I got a new crushie at 21. My feelings for him bloomed at 21. 💖💕
*But, hey. It's just a crush, okieeee? I can still make myself prevent to have a more deeper feelings for him. I am expert on that, so yeah. 😉*
Part 2 is coming on the next days! Stay tuned. <3

He Turned Eighteen
Holaaaaa! Been days again since I last wrote and published an article. This time, I'm gonna dedicate this article to my younger brother who just turned eighteen last October 21. Actually, I originally planned to write an article the night on that very same day but I was so tired and on the next days? I got soooo busy with academics. And, tadaaa! I'm now here. Composing an article for him. 💗
**OCTOBER 20, 2021 -- Around 8:00PM**
When we are eating our dinner, bro joined us. Mama asked him what he'll gonna have for his birthday on the next day and Mama even joked that she's asking bro for some money to buy him some presents. *Kumbaga, ipaghahanda n'ya sarili n'ya.* Then his answer surprised us as he said, **"Hindi na lang ako maghahanda."** (English: I won't just have some birthday presents.)
And, that pained me. Real bad! That he thinks that we'll gonna let his birthday pass again without celebrating. Well, I can't stop him to feel bad because he was the one who often have nothing on his birthday, but just our greetings. Why? We often encountered lack in financial when his birthday was about to come.
He feels bad and Papa even said that bro once asked him this words when he was just about thirteen to fourteen years old, **"Bakit sila Ate naghahanda? Bakit ako hindi?"**
This two questions crumpled my heart, like a fragile paper that is so easy to crumpled. I'm sorry, ading! If our parents seems to favor me and our youngest more than you. Ate is feeling so hurt when they seem to forget about you. But, don't worry! Ate can make a living already. So I will do and give the things that they can't give to you, as long as I can. <3
**OCTOBER 21, 2021 -- Around 7:00AM**
The day that Mama gave birth to him has come. The day that the world welcomed another baby sent from above. Mama and Papa's second born, **my brother.**
On this day, he's now on the legal age as he turned eighteen. 💕
When the morning came, Mama is the one who greeted him first. However, Mama came to our room after then said that he's having this long and sad face. And, I feel bad once again. I know that our parents can't be able to throw him a simple celebration because we are facing some problems by that time because of Mama's health. Also, our parents don't even asked me if I can treat him some because they know that I already spent near $30 for Mama's check-up and medicines. But, no one in the family knows that I had already saved some for his birthday. No one except from me, you, guys in noise.cash, and Him.
I originally plan to go to the market to buy the needed ingredients for his presents by 11:00AM since that I still need to do tasks first. But then, by 7:30 I get up from the bed and started to do my usual morning chores and told Papa that we'll go to the market by 9:00.
Bro was just in our small terrace by that time, silently laying down on the old long chair while scrolling down on his phone. He was sad, I can see and feel it. 🥺
Since that Tita is sick and no one will be left to take care of her kids if Mama will come with us, I and lil sis was just the one to got to the market along with Papa to drive us there.
First, we go to the wet market to buy veggies and meats. Then, off to the dry market for some other ingredients. After that, I and sis goes to the nearest Goldilocks' store to buy him a cake.
Well, if you can still remember, it is one of my goals for this year to buy a cake for the every birthday celebrations of our family. And, I failed to do this during Mama and Papa's birthdays. And so, I'll just make it up on my and my siblings' birthdays. I can still remember when bro told me this after he saw that I have a cake for my 21st birthday. He told me this (well, not directly to me as it seems to be like a whisper), **"buti pa sila may cake. Ako kaya?"** Another crumpling moment. Uhooo! </3
So, I really did a major budgeting just to suffice my read.cash earnings for his birthday presents, including a cake. Lil sis is the one to choose his cake and OMYYYY! It's a girly-themed cake with lots of flowers on top. Imagine, a boy will be celebrating his birthday with this cake. 🙈
After we bought everything that we need, we headed at home. And, I wasn't surprised when bro was still in the terrace. Maybe he really think that he won't have a **'no-presents-birthday-celebration.'** Sis said that she'll be the one to hold the cake box when we got home and so be it. As I headed on the front door, I saw how his face brighten. And, it's already enough for me. He didn't said 'thank you' but his smiles and glances tells it all to me. 💖
As we got home, we just rest for some minutes and ate our lunch then started to prepare the ingredients. Because it's just a simple gathering at home, we are just gonna have the classic Filipino *sopas* and *pancit.* And a cake and some drinks, of course. *Magpapa-lumpiang shanghai pa sana ako pero 'di kinaya ng budget eh. HAHA!*
*Storytelling*
Bro nearly shed tears when sis asked him this, **"Kuya, masaya ka ba?"** (English: Kuya, are you happy?) Seriously, sis? I don't know if I will give you a round of applause or will spank you. HAHAHA!
After some minutes, bro was missing again. We don't know where he go and we even joked that maybe he's already inviting the whole barangay by that time. 😂 Then after hours of preparing, it's all doneee! 💛
And because he's like Papa who is camera-shy, he let this two kiddos to do the task.
Sige, bataaa! Excited yarnnnn? 🙈😆
Maybe it's already late to greet you, bro. But ......
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, BRO! 💚 ATE LOVES YOU, ALWAYS REMEBER THAT.
*Though, I know that you're not obligating me to buy you a new phone, I will still do it. And, sorry if the phone that I promised you wasn't here yet, don't worry. I am gonna give you that when my allowance had arrived again. Kaunting hintay pa!* 😊

One Question For The Upcoming Face-to-face Classes
Helloooooo! :)
Its been a week since I last wrote an article (**5 Things That I Want To Have Before I Start Conducting My Thesis**). I got so busy with academic life, specifically with my thesis outline, other reports, and virtual meetings to attend. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/5-things-that-i-want-to-have-before-i-start-conducting-my-thesis-56305be2
In the past few days, I am just silently reading some articles and leaving a comment sometimes. And, tadaaa! Since that I am not the busy tonight, gonna write an article againnnn. Wiee! I missed typing on my keyboard, not for my reports but for my article. 💗
**So, let's starttttt!**
**Face-to-face classes.**
It's almost two years since we last attended a classes inside our classrooms or lecture rooms. *Kaka-miss hanooo?*
I missed waking up by 3:00AM just to read our lessons and prepare for my 7:00AM classes.
I missed taking a bath in the cold morning and enjoying the breeze of walking towards our college. I missed everything ..... but sadly, we need to study at home due to the spread of the virus disease.
We started having our online classes by the first semester of Academic Year 2020-2021 and up until now. And after two semesters (excluding this semester), we finally had feel the chills of coming back to school or university. Why? Limited face-to-face classes are being implemented.
On the previous months, the IATF (Inter Agency Task Force) started to allow several degree courses to have a limited face-to-face classes. It started with the medicine-related courses, then the Hotel and Restaurant Management (currently, HM), engineering courses, and more. However, my course which is aligned with agriculture wasn't still included in the list. But despite of the danger of the virus, we are still hoping. Because we need to experience the field more than the four corners of our rooms or house.
And, our prayers seems like to be granted soon.
Days ago, there is a survey being disseminated from our university. The higher ups are conducting some tracking on the vaccination status of their students. And, I am one of the many students to answer the form.
Maybe @immaryandmerry , @carisdaneym2 , and @Maestro02 also answered to this survey. We are schoolmates, after all. So, baka lang naman. Hihi! Hello sa inyoooooo! :) *Miss n'yo na bang maglakad nang pagka-layo layo sa campus?* 😆
Aside from our personal information, the first question is **"Are you vaccinated?"** And, I answered through clicking the "**1st dose**."
I got my first shot of Pfizer/BioNTech by October 08, 2021. And, my second dose is by October 29. By that time, I am gonna be fully vaccinated.
Here's an article whereas I shared this day here in read.cash: **Got My First Dose of Pfizer** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/got-my-first-dose-of-pfizer-7fe05ff4
Second question, **"Will you be conducting your thesis for the 2nd Semester of AY 2021-2022?"** And because my course is an applied science, we are advised to have a thesis instead of OJT and so I clicked the "**Yes**." As it was what our thesis adviser was aiming for us to do, to start conducting our thesis by the second semester. His reasons? So that we can have more longer time to do this and to finish it more earlier so that we can relax ahead of time. Such a great mindset he have! 💕
Thinking that next semester might still be an online class, I listed the things that I want to have (purchase) before conducting my thesis. And, I shared it with this article: **5 Things That I Want To Have Before I Start Conducting My Thesis** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/5-things-that-i-want-to-have-before-i-start-conducting-my-thesis-56305be2
Next question, **"Are you willing to attend limited face-to-face at CLSU?"** I chose to answer with "**undecided**." Because even if I want to attend F2F classes, I still want to consult my parents first before deciding. Glad that they allowed me because they know that I can improve my learnings and skills more inside the campus, rather than inside our home.
Followed by the question, **"Are you willing to stay inside the CLSU campus for the span of the whole semester?"** And, I answered with the "**undecided**" one. Because I am still undecided and that I need to consult this to my parents first and assess everything before deciding.
Though, I am not sure if we, students living inside the city where our university was also needs to stay inside the campus for the whole duration of the semester. Also, we're also not sure if when will the F2F starts again. Nonetheless, there will be a consultation about this one on the next day.
Why am I undecided? Simply because of this question ......
**"If I will stay inside the campus for five months every semester, what about them? My parents and my younger siblings."**
This is the only question that is running in my head about this matter. I am determined to attend F2F classes despite of many what ifs in my mind. Apparently, whether to stay in our campus or not is the one that I've been thinking of.
If I will locked myself in one of the dormitories in our campus, how about the studies of my siblings?
The Department of Education that's handling the primary and secondary level will also start in conducting a pilot testing for limited F2F classes. If this pilot testing will be a total success, I am sure that it will be implemented more widely in our country. However, I along with my parents won't allow my siblings to attend this classes especially if there are other ways to still continue their studies without going to school, for now. Don't want them to take the risk just to attend classes inside the classroom.
Also, there are a high possibility that my parents or Aunt will have another arguments with their other siblings and Aunts. Yah know, family and relative issues. I don't want them to have another arguments with this toxic people, anymore.
Also, how about when they got sick again? I am the one who's leading on helping them to recover more faster. And, it made me think on what will happen if they got sick again and I am not around because I am locked inside our campus.
Actually, there are so many questions in my mind on how will this set-up be done. But since that there wasn't still an official date for the opening of limited face-to-face classes, I still have more time to think on what to do.
Though, my parents already allowed me to stay inside the campus while studying, I still can't help but to have this questions still running in my mind.
For now, I will assess everything first and have a decision that will make me learn more while also helping my siblings to further explore their learnings and skills and help our parents on the side.
Mahirap pero kakayaninnnn! 💛
Tadaaaa! Done with another article. Hope you'll like this '**soup article**' of mine. XD

5 Things That I Want To Have Before I Start Conducting My Thesis
Maybe, many of you here already knows that I am a striving college student who's in her third year of taking up Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Major in Crop Protection and specializing in Plant Pathology.
**First, what is Crop Protection?**
It is the field in Agriculture that is focused in managing and giving solutions to agricultural pests such as the weeds, insects, and plant diseases. There are three divisions of Crop Protection: *Weed Science, Entomology,* and *Plant Pathology.* Which is in my case, I am specializing in Plant Pathology.
**Plant Pathology, what is it?**
To make it more simple, it is the study of plant diseases caused by many causal organisms commonly known as *pathogens.* This are the bacteria (germs), fungi or fungus (like mushrooms and algae), viruses, nematodes, and many more. This pathogens can just be seen through the use of microscopes and not with our naked eyes.
In this specialization, we need to memorized and be familiarized with all the kinds of diseases that are occurring on the plants and crops. Their signs and symptoms, scientific names, in which crops do they appear and when, and most of all are the management and preventive measures.
But, it's just a glimpse on what we are having in this course. Just a glimpse.
On the first three semesters of taking this course, we are taking all the majors in BS Agriculture. Starting from Animal Science, Crop Science, Soil Science, Crop Protection, and Agricultural Extension Education. But upon the fourth semester, we started to focused in our chosen specialization.
Now, we are on the fifth semester (excluding the Summer Classes). And, the real fight is in this semester. How can I say so? Because aside from the lecture and laboratory lessons and reports, quizzes, examinations, researches? **Thesis was also waving in front of our faces.**
In our course, we have two choices. We can either take On-The-Job (OJT) Training or conducting our individual thesis. Yes, we have two choices but since that I am focused in Crop Protection and specializing in Plant Pathology? Thesis is more ideal. Because in the future, this is what we're gonna aim too. To formulate farm inputs that can help farmers in managing and preventing the infestations of pathogens. Because as of now? There's still no formulated input for plant diseases especially to those diseases caused by viruses. And, conducting a thesis will help us to learn and explore more.
**Thesis**, this is were my future was depended at. If I will graduate right on time or not. But, I am hoping and praying that it's not the latter. No one wishes for it, though.
At first, I am planning to conduct a thesis wherein I will plant crops through the seeds from infested crops. Then, observe what will happen. Seems like it's so simple, right? 😅 So, I consulted it to my thesis adviser and he said that he'll asked for the ideas from the Doctors in our department. I was so excited because I know that I can do it, even if it's gonna be a tough one. But, I wasn't able to continue this because I, we don't have our own lot that I can plant my crops and I can't asked for other peoples' lots because I will use it also for isolation. *I need to do isolation kasi baka makapagpakalat ako ng sakit sa mga tanim nila.*
So, I ended up with the topic that my adviser was given which is the GIS Mapping. Baka naman alam mo 'to, Kuya @Eunoia. Hihi!
Anyways, we all know that thesis is not as easy as 1-2-3. It's not and will never be, I guess.
And to be able to lessen the difficulties of conducting my thesis? *Hopefully, on the second semester of this Academic Year.* I listed five things that I want to have before I start conducting my thesis and this things can surely help me on this another journey.
A journey to have that diploma that I am aiming for and that black toga to be wore above the stage in our University's Graduation Site. 💗
**What are these things? Let's find it out below. ⬇⬇⬇⬇**
Stable Internet Connection
In my thesis, all that I need to are myself, laptop, other gadgets like phone, and an internet connection. And, what I am looking for the internet connection is the stable one. Nowadays, there is no stable internet connection even though our service provider was so well-known. We can still experienced internet problems related to this one. Though, a stable one is like our dream to have? **What I am wishing to have is a more stable connection compare to what my mobile data can offer.**
Few months ago, I had been thinking of having our own WiFi here in our house. But, I know within myself that I still can't afford to have a monthly bill to think of. But here's my thesis, a thesis that I can't be able to survive with just relying upon the mobile data. So, I come up with a decision.
A decision to have our own WiFi next year. I am still thinking on how can I pay the bill of it monthly and on what service provider to have. Right now, I am in between of **PLDT Fiber and Converge**. And, I need your suggestions about this one as I am not that knowledgeable about this. *Laking mobile data po kasi ako. 😂*
Printer
I am a fan of writing up on my notes but not all the time. Also, going in the city proper just to print my needed documents was so hassle, tiring, and so *magastos* (expensive). So, I am aiming to have my own printer at the house. That one that also have a copier on it. And, I'm looking forward to have this before this year ends. Hopefully! *crossed fingers*
Study Table
Omooo! I've been wishing for this for years. And, until now? I can't have it. Why? Because our house wasn't that spacious. So what I can just do is to buy a small and foldable table. Like this one:
But, as months ends? My school works was being piled up higher and higher. And, my eagerness to have a more comfortable one even get higher too. As of the study table, I was wishing for this one. **A study table with a shelves and chair.**
But, I can't have this because it will eat up so much space in our house and it's a no no. *Saka na lang kapag may sarili na kaming bahay, 'yung spacious talaga.*
For now, I am just gonna aim for a table like what are shown on the pictures below.
Book Shelves
Since that our room wasn't that spacious too, I am planning on having a book shelves attached on our room's wall. I am also considering a standing book shelves but I will be needing space for it. Maybe I will just buy some materials on the shops here in our place. I need to lessen up the things and have more space for my other stuffs before I proceed in my thesis conduction.
Stationeries
Uwoooo! Who will not love stationeries? From the pens, highlighters, sticky notes (post-it notes), tapes, pins, and other things. I super duper love this stuffs and I a sure that you are, too. Am I right? 😉
Aside from my educational books, this is also the reason why I want to have shelves in our room. And before I got to have this things, I need to have my shelves, first, Which I will start planning next month. Sanaaaaa! <3
This article seems like a soup one. Haha! Wala, feel ko lang. 🤷♀️😆 Though, I am still hoping that you, guys will like it.

Got My First Dose of Pfizer
Be vaccinated. What are your thoughts about it? Do you already made yourself vaccinated with the vaccine for Corona Virus Disease (CoViD-19)? Or nah? Or will you get it?
Me? Our family? At the first months, we don't want to. Even I that was studying about this pathogens was having doubts. But, as days turns months passed by? This decision had changed. There are many factors why it changed, such as the:
*Bakuna Bubble.*
*Face-to-face classes.*
*Be more resistant and intensify our immunity.*
*Make myself and the people around me more safe.*
I remembered to shared things about this one through this article: **Gonna Get My Vaccine Shot: Plan Gone Wrong** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/gonna-get-my-vaccine-shot-plan-gone-wrong-a48a6f1e
Be vaccinated. I and our family was already planning for it even before my 21st birthday but I got sick and the plans was delayed. Until a relative (*malayong kamag-anak*) who is also one of our Barangay Tanod had come to the house yesterday. Asking if we already got our vaccines, we said no. Then he suggest that we should just walk in and don't wait for the barangay officials to give us schedule. So, I and Tita had planned to have it the next day which is today. Though, Papa said that he'll get it once that Mama's feeling more better. *Syempre, sasamahan ko pa din sila. Supporter ih. Hihi!*
October 08, 2021 (4:22AM)
I woke up around this time. Need to because we should be in the venue of vaccination before 5:30 so that we will have more chance to be first in line and finish more earlier. And, also to avoid being in the crowd for too long.
Started to prepare my clothes and things in my sling bag. Then, took at bath with hot water. Prepared myself and tadaaa! Ready to travel. <3
And by **5:09AM**, we're ready to leave. Still too dark outside with the chills of the morning breeze, but let's get it on! *Mas maganda nang mauna sa pila kaysa mahuli at tumayo nang mas matagal. 🙈*
**By 5:24AM**, we arrived at the vaccination venue and fell on the line in the gymnasium's benches immediately. Because it was still so early, I was on the 9th spot and Tita was on the 10th. Perks of being too *maaga. Hihi!*
Anyways, thank you to my Papa who also woke up early just to drive us here. <3
By **6:34AM**, some of the Police Officers and Traffic Enforcers had arrived at the gym to facilitate. They told us what we will do after they assembled the chairs for the five steps. After assembling the chairs, they instructed us to go down the bench and sit on the chairs for Step 1 which is the Registration. Starting from the first one to arrive to the last one.
But, the actual process of getting the vaccine hadn't start after that. As the other facilitators will just arrive by 8:00 or before this time. So, we patiently wait again.
While waiting, Tita's husband bought us some coffee and bread on the nearby cafe while he's having his rooving on the other Water Stations. I don't eat anything before we left the house as my stomach reacts so fast every time that I eat so early but I ensure to have drinks and biscuits on my bag.
The facilitators was arriving one-by-one **by 7:25AM** and that's the time when we filled up the attendance sheet. Then before 8:00AM, the registration finally started.
But unexpectedly, I got some minor problem **by 8:34AM**. As 18-23 years old needs to provide birth certificate issued by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to serve as a proof that they are already in the legal age to be vaccinated and it includes me. But the problem is, I don't have it because I don't know that it was needed. *Ewan ko ba sa sarili ko at nakalimutan kong magtanong sa mga kakilala ko, that's so not me. Wala, na-excite eh. XD*
Good thing that there's my Papa who's always ready to rescue me. He drive again for over 10-15 minutes just to bring my birth certificate.
Thank you again, Papa. Though I already thanked you personally. 💛
So **by 8:53AM,** I started the Step 1. Also, I would like to say that there are five steps in getting the vaccine. This are as follows:
**Step 1:** Registration
-Prepare our Identification Cards (ID) with our birthdates indicated.
**Step 2:** Screening
-The facilitators will get our body temperature and blood level. So, just relax and calm down our nerves and tissues. :D
**Step 3:** Health Education Counseling
-Be honest with them. If we have some colds and coughs or any other bad feelings, tell them. As it will affect the efficacy of the vaccine once that it was introduced to our bodies.
**Step 4:** Vaccine Administration
This is it, pancitttt! After finishing the Steps 1-3, tadaaa! I'm now on the line for administrating the vaccine. In my case, I had the ****Pfizer BioNTech**** that has the efficacy rate of **95%**.
I am afraid of injections but the one who will give my shot has a light aura that surrounds her and her smiles? Uwuuu. *Nakakawala ng kaba.* And so, I didn't feel any fears or nervousness. But, the sting of the needle? Ackkk. I felt it. Huhu! Nonetheless, it doesn't hurts so much but it sting.
Here's a photo that I got when the vaccine was being injected to me. Though, it was just blurred. Hihi!
And, tadaaaa!
By 9:01AM, I GOT MY FIRST DOSE OF PFIZER. 💖💗
Now, we're down to the last step.
**Step 5:** Monitoring Observation
This is the last station whereas the people (including me and Tita) will observe themselves for the possible side effects after having the vaccine. In my case, I just only felt the sting of the needle. That's it and no other side effects.
Also, this is where we will wait to have our vaccination card.
And, after some minutes of waiting? Tadaaaa!
I finally got mine. <3
Now, I'm proud to say that I GOT MY FIRST DOSE OF VACCINE on the 8th day of October, 2021. 💙💚
Time for picture pictureeee! 📸
**Me to Tita (but just in my mind):** *Tita ang ganda ng shots ko sa'yo pero why naman ganito sa akinnnn? Nilagyan ko na lang tuloy ng filter para gumanda kahit papaano. 😆*
Am I feeling side effects?
Yes. An hour after I got vaccinated, I started to feel stiffness on my left arm. Maybe it started by 10:10AM and until now. A friend said that it might still be felt for two days. It's so difficult to move with this heaviness on my arm. But, it just means that the vaccine is already doing it's aim inside my body which is to introduce antibodies and make me more immune and resistant with the virus and its harmful effects.
Next, sila Mama, Papa, at bro naman. ❣❤
On this part, let me share some of my observations while being in the venue:
-The Senior Citizens are more prepared. They entered with bottled water, foods, hand fan. I saw a two elderly (Lolo and Lola) that arrived all by themselves, maybe they are already 60+ years old. They are so determined and more patient to be vaccinated and it's a good thing that they are in priority, so they won't need to wait and fall in line more longer.
-There are two women who are claiming that they arrived more earlier and they just didn't fall in line immediately. The result? They go in between of other people. Just, what? Who knows, maybe that was just a lie that they arrive early. So, just a piece of advice. Fall in the line, the moment that you (we) arrived at the venue. So that there won't be any hassle.
Also, here's some reminders that you, guys can use before, during, and after the vaccination:
**Before**
-Eat first. Have something in our stomachs.
-Remember bring foods and drinks.
-Prepare all the needed things before leaving the house. Bring your own pens, ID, birth certificate, etcetera.
**During**
-Strictly follow health protocols.
-Be observant and attentive. Remember to always be polite when talking and asking.
-Seniors, Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), and pregnant women are priorities. Do not be hot headed upon waiting, be more patient, and broaden our understanding. Don't be to persistent. *Kapag sinabing mauuna ang mga priorities, don't make up stories just to be prioritized too.*
-Once the facilitator told us to get Pfizer, AstraZenica, Moderna, or other vaccine, follow what they said. Don't be *pasaway.*
-Calm down! It's a must. :)
**After**
-Observe ourselves for possible side effects of the vaccine.
-Follow the instructions said by the facilitators.
-Drink medicine (here in the Philippines, paracetamol is advised.) immediately as we start to feel side effects.
-Take a good rest.
*Are you planning to be vaccinated? Or having doubts and second thoughts about it? There's a way to ease our worries.*
Do Your Own Research or the DYOR.
Not DIOR, okieee? Lol.
**How to?**
-We can read posts and articles online, watch news, or ask those people that we known to have the vaccine.
Here's some of the trusted and legit websites that we can visit while doing a research.
💊 World Health Organization
**How?**
Click the link of WHO Website. (Link: https://www.who.int/)
Go to 'Vaccines, treatments, & tests'.
Tap 'COVID-19 vaccines.' (Link: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/covid-19-vaccines)
Then start exploring.
💊 Department of Health- Philippines
**How?**
Click the link of DOH-PH Website. (Link: https://doh.gov.ph/vaccines)
Start exploring.
And if you're considering to have Pfizer, here's a website that we can read information about Pfizer BioNTech.
**How?**

My Inactivity Makes Me Worried
January 2021
The month when I first created an account here in read.cash with the username of **imafutureagrcltrst** with the encouragement of my friend, @carisdaneym2 . This is the first platform that I hope that will be successful. However, I was just able to publish a few articles until I became totally inactive.
March 2021
This month, the same friend that invited me here had told me to create another account because my first account had been spammed. And so I did. But sadly, I didn't write on the same day that I created another account. The reasons? Academics, tutoring, responsibilities in the real world, and I ain't that dedicated and passionate before. Sadly, but it's the truth. Hayst, if I can just bring back time? I'll start right on that day. Nonetheless, "*its better to be late, than sorry.*" And, so I came back. 💛
June 2021
June 20, 2021. The exact date when I started writing again. This time, as a **virtual writer** and not in our college publication team whereas I am one step closer to being the official Feature Writer after training as a staff writer. But, I gave it up because of how busy I am in real life.
To make it more shorter, I am not that committed.
It took me near three months after I had the courage and guts to take the path I've chosen, more seriously. Because I am missing the vibes and happiness of writing, I decided and pushed myself more to write again. And, I started it with this article: **Finally, I'm Back!****.** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/finally-im-back-8dcab3b6
On the first month, it goes how I imagined it to be.
*Write to inspire.*
*Write to fill in the missing piece in me.*
*Write to make me more happy and forget the problems of outside world.*
Like any other writers (more like, ***content creators***) here, I also dreamt of having TheRandomRewarder or who we often called as **Rusty** or **bot's** attention. It took me weeks until I finally got one of my most awaited read.cash notification. None other than the notification saying,
"TheRandomRewarder upvoted your post "title of the post" with $__ in BCH"
I can still clearly remember the article wherein I got his tickles, it is one: **Goals Before 30: Can I Achieve It?** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/goals-before-30-can-i-achieve-it-d318b2e1
Check this link (https://noise.cash/post/lp7kzmkr) as I shared this moment in noise.cash. Or through this article: **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
Because of his visits, I got more determined and motivated to keep up what I am doing. To make it more better and to thrive even more. Through him, I had became more inspired to write and write and write. The results of it? Not just the earnings. But, most importantly?
From calling myself a user of read.cash, I finally had the courage to call myself as a **content creator. 💕**
And so it continued for the duration of July to August. Not until another Academic Year started.
On the first week, I can still manage.
On the first week, I can still make time for writing my articles, reading other content creator's articles, and interact with them.
Not until the second week had come .....
Laboratory and lecture reports, other activities, quizzes, virtual meetings, and here's also my responsibilities as the Vice President of our class.
I object the nomination for President because I am already busy with life. And, I said yes as to be the Vice President because it has lesser tasks. Well, that's what I thought. Because I seem to be the President as all my blockmates' concerns was being asked to be. Why? They said that they felt aren't that comfty to our President. Don't know why.
Then, here's comes the exams for first term and my thesis. Also, my responsibilities as a daughter and big sister.
So, yeah. I became to occupied with things that eventually led me to be inactive here. I tried was still trying my very best to be in track. But, it's really challenging me. Then I told myself to just write at night, but I still can't as I was still doing requirements 'til night time and in morning? I find it difficult to wake up more earlier to write because my human body wants to have more rest after grinding and digging all day and night.
This continues for days. In this listed articles, you can see the interval of the articles published by me.
**August-** 16 articles, 1 short post
**September-** 8 articles, 1 short post
September 01, 2021: **September: Goals Are Awaiting To Be Achieved****- $7.46** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/september-goals-are-awaiting-to-be-achieved-60d98fa5

September 30, 2021: **Remembering September****- $1.96** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/remembering-september-7888411c
Last September, I aimed for 10 articles. More lower than what I am supposed to do. But, I still didn't reached this numbers. See?
And, as days passed of being inactive? I already observed changes in my account in read.cash.
*Numbers of likes (👍🏻) decreased.*
*Few comments which means lesser interaction for me.*
*Upvotes from Rusty had decreased as well.*
*Rusty's visitation seems to be not like before.*
And, this makes me worried.
So, I come up with a plan on how to bring back the vibes in my account. Here it is:
**Morning-** read articles, leave comments, reply to the unreplied ones, and interact with my co-users and co-content creators.
**Afternoon-** start writing an article.
**Evening-** finish an article and publish.
Because I already know within myself that I can accomplished the 1 article a day, I just opt to write one **every other day**. Well, this is what I am looking forward and will do my very best to achieve it. I just need to be more committed, focused, and flexible to do my goals inside and outside this virtual world.
Also, thank you to Ate @Jane and to ading @kingofreview for the advices on what should I do. <3
Why am I so engrossed with this?
Because I don't want my hard works and perseverance to be in vain. I took long to get Rusty's along with other writers and users' attention and I don't want to lose it because of my inactivity. Also, I want to inspire more through my writings. (*Even though, paulit-ulit na lang minsan mga sinasabi ko. 😅*)
So, let's get it on. As per this month, I don't set goals regarding the number of articles that I should write and publish here. Wala, just want to go with the flow lang. As of now, my October articles are still in process whereas I'm also looking for another progress.
Hoping for a more productive October for me and for all of us. ❤❣

October, Are You Ready For Me?
"Write an article on the first day of the month featuring our target goals.
Write another article by the end of the month tackling the goals we achieved and even those that are not yet achieved."
This has been a culture to us here in read.cash which aims to inspire and not to brag. A culture that even I, myself do.
Many said that I am so organized with such things like this, setting goals and aiming it at the same time. As for me, I see myself as a **goal-digger** which made it normal to share my target and achieved goals, even those that aren't achieved.
Last September 01, I shared my September goals and here I am again. In front of my laptop while composing another article that contains my goals for this month.
So, what are this goals? It's just the same with the past months and I just added and changed some.
**Here they are:**
Here's mooooore! <3
Save for bro's 18th birthday.
My younger brother will turn eighteen by October 21. He's the last one to celebrate born day among the five of us in our family. Among us, he's the one who often no birthday presents. I don't know why and I am not that aware when I am still younger. As I grew up and wasable to view and understand many things, I thrown a simple celebration for him last year. Whereas I bought him some presents and it made him happy to the point that he even invited his closest friends who are just living two houses away from our's. This year, I am planning to buy him a simple cake too just like what I did for my sister and my birthdays.
And to be able to do this, I am gonna save again. Actually, it should be done last month but I unexpectedly forgot about it. So, yeah. I need to double my phase now as I don't want him to ask himself, *"why they have some presents on their birthdays and I have none?"*
Throw a simple celebration for;
***(A) Bro's 18th birthday;***
If I will be able to save some for his birthday (which I am determined to), then this one will be attainable. Hopinggg! 💛
***(B) Mama and Papa's 22nd Wedding Anniversary.***
Mama and Papa married each other by October 31, 1999. And this month, it's gonna be their 22nd wedding anniversary. On the previous years, we aren't able to celebrate it because we do lack financially. I know that they are also hoping to celebrate it even with just a simple presents, but we can't. And now that I can pull some strings through my side hustles, then I will make a celebration for this day to happen.
As of now, I am planning on where will I get the m*ney for this occasion. As some of my earnings in read.cash will be used for my brother's birthday.
Earn at least;
***(A) 0.2 BCH in noise.cash***
It was last August when I started aiming for numbers in noise.cash, not to fasten the process of having 1 BCH in my crypto-wallet but to encourage me more to even do my very best to be an active user of this platforms. Again, not just for the earnings but to keep me more active and dedicated.
Last August, I aimed for 0.4 BCH. It's too high for me, but I still tried despite of me being aware that I can either achieve it or nah. In the end of the month, I wasn't able to have it but I was already near as I had accumulated 0.34 BCH.
And, I tried it again for one more time by September whereas I tried to reach 0.2 BCH in just noise.cash alone. And, I had successfully had ittt.
***0.303 BCH*** *or $164= in coins.ph where my hodlings in BCH are in.*
***0.048 BCH*** *or $26 in today's BCH price= For Christmas ($1 A Day Challenge)*
Overall, I had accumulated 0.352 BCH by September though I had converted 0.05 BCH into fiat for some gifts to myself. I even exceed my target 0.2 BCH and I'm gonna give it a try by this October. Let's see if I can make it happen, again. 💞
***(B) 0.1 BCH in read.cash***
By August, I had achieved it. But, not by September as I became so busy with life that resulted for me to became inactive her. And, tadaaa! It affected my performance here. Nonetheless, I wasn't feeling so down due to this. In fact, I became more determined to get back on how I used to be here. Active in interacting and writing more often, unlike last September. So, let's get it on again, selfff! Be more determined and dedicated, okay? :)
Come back in read.cash.
Being inactive and a mushy type of writer is not what I want to be. But, I had became one by September as academics really got into me. I shared in some of my noise.cash posts that I already had observed several changes as I became an inactive one. And, I am not dreaming of to continue it. So I made a plan on what should I do and for this month of October, I am gonna bring back the old me here in read.cash. Well, that's what I am planning and looking forward with.
Finish my propose thesis outline.
As a third year college student who's taking a course related to science, we are required to do a thesis as it will serve as our ticket to get and step on our University's Graduation Site (*well, if CoViD-19 was already gone by that time*). My thesis adviser was indeed so cool, so easy to communicate with, and was so eager to help us finish this college life.
For this semester, we are required to finish our thesis outline.
***First,*** we need to have our thesis topic and title which I already have.
***Second,*** write our individual proposed thesis outline from Introduction to Methodology part.
***Third,*** pass it to our thesis adviser and critics (which in my case is our College Dean) and wait for their approval.
***Fourth,*** if they approved it then we're off to the defense for thesis outline.
***Fifth,*** defense. This is the time that we'll get their official approval to either start conducting or do another thesis outline.
If we aren't able to have our thesis outline and present it before this semester ends, we'll have a failing grade which I don't want to have because I have my scholarships to take care of.
So, I need to finish it on the third week of the month like what we and our adviser dealt with.
1 BCH! 💖
Actually, I am not sure if I can make this happen by this month as I have so many things to think of. But, I am determined because I want to have it before the BCH price rose up to $1500 like before. *Wala, para lang masulit ko. Hihi!*
And, tadaaa! Here are my new sets of target goals for October. As you can see, there's no number for my target articles. Why? I just don't feel having it in my goals. HAHAHA, *ewan ko ba*. 😅Hoping that I can achieve it all! Fighting, self. 💕💗

Remembering September
**September, 2021.**
The month that we welcomed the Ber months with open arms and heart.
The month that we started to feel the chills and excitement of Christmas, just like how we used to be every year.
The month that Mama gave birth to me.
This is the month that we set new goals and tried our very best to achieve 'em all. Despite our awareness that maybe, maybe we can achieve it or maybe we can't. However, we still did our very best as we are born to be a fighters, a dreamer, and an achiever at the same time.
As we kept on digging for a better life everyday, we got some rewards and blessings from the above. That's why we already used to this culture of **"writing and sharing our goals on the first day or week of the month"** and after 28-31 days? Here we are, composing another article on how our month goes.
For me, it's the most easiest topic to write an article with. We can just be a storyteller and an inspiration, as well and then tadaaa! Another article was written and published. *Well, I am hoping that I was an inspiration despite of my several nonsense contents. Haha! XD*
For now, let's take a look on how did September goes for me through remembering the happenings in this month.
In three, two, one. Takip sa camera. *(Char, vloggerist lang ang peg, self? 🤣)*
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, Sepetmber.
In this months, we are blind on how our days and months will be. Yes, we can imagine how it can possibly be but we aren't sure because every day has their own sets of surprises. It's blurred and we can just clearly see it once that we are already near on the last day of the month.
On the previous days, I remember that I once old Ate @bmjc98 that this month was *tagilid* for me. Why? Because of how busy I am outside the virtual world, the real world. I need to do mountain-like activities in school, in my side hustles like being a tutor, a self-proclaimed teacher to my younger sibling, my responsibilities at home, and many more to mention. And it resulted on me being somehow a little bit inactive in the interaction in both noise.cash and read.cash. Also it led me to became a **mushroom content creator** here in read.cash. Mushroom content creator? What is that? It's how I describe my life in ead.cash for this month. I'll write today then be absent for another days then come back and repeat. It's making me sad but I can't do anything. Yes, I can be flexible but all the things that I've mentioned above had been stopping me to do so. However, I will still try my very best to somehow become active again. Little by little and slowly but surely.
For September, I am aiming for this goals. And, let's look if I had achieved them or nah. What's your bet? Haha!
Finance and celebrate my 21st birthday;
This is one of the many reasons why I am saving because I want to finance my own birthday. How? Through my earnings in read.cash. Why? Why will I finance my own birthday? Because my parents can't do it anymore. Their income was just enough for our everyday needs and expenses and I don't want to add on their *alalahanin*. And, also this is the day that I can treat myself more that no one can say anything but to let me do what I wanted to do.
In the first three weeks of August, all of my earnings are being used in some of our needs like groceries stocks and rice. I thought that I can't save for my birthday but I still managed and that's why I successfully made a simple yet happy birthday celebration do happen. 💖
Check out this article as I shared here this major event of my life: **I Turned Twenty-One: I Grown Older** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/i-turned-twenty-one-i-grown-older-77867313
Earn at least;
(A) 0.2 BCH in Noise.cash
Because I was so near to achieve my target noise.cash earnings last August, I decided to give it a shot again. One more time. But this time, I lowered it a little considering some factors that may affect my track in noise.cash like the algorithm and the BCH price. As it was volatile.
On the first 11 days of the month, I had encountered having little earnings. By the first day, I wasn't even able to get even a single payout. In that, I thought that I won't be able to achieve this goal. But, I don't complain because I totally understand what's happening. Instead, I ignored those numbers that I am getting and just kept in doing what I must do.
And after 11 days, I didn't expect that it'll be back like how it used to be before and tadaaaa! I was still able to reach 0.2 BCH. Actually, I even exceed it and that really made my eyes widen and my heart to hammered so hard due to the extreme joyful, overwhelm, and satisfaction. Thank y'all, everyone! 💛
(B) 0.1 in read.cash
As I shared above, this month had been so tough for me to handle. So difficult to do tasks inside and outside this virtual world at the very same time. And, tadaaa! I am proud to say that I didn't achieve this goal. Why still be proud? Because it's another motivation for me to do better next time. So, let's get it onnn!
Publish 10 articles this month.
Last August, I aimed for 25 articles but I wasn't able to publish nor even write all of this target 25 articles of mine. Why? Another Academic Year had started and I did another adjustment again. On the first week of the semester, our Professors had already bombarded us with lots and lots of activities. Resulting for me to won't accomplished this goal last month.
And so, I opt to lower it more. Instead of 25 or 20 or 10, I just aimed for 10 articles for this month. I know that it's just a few compare to the articles written by other content creators, but due to the very hectic college life that I am currently at? It's already a challenge for me to publish 10 articles. Upon deciding on how many articles should I aim for, I already told my self that there's a chance that I can both successfully do it or fail.
Nonetheless, I still tried but I still can't. Why? Laboratory reports, quizzes, presentations, teaching, name it all. All of them are stopping me to do so even though how hard I tried. And, look! I was able to publish articles but wasn't able to achieve 10.
Here are they. If you want to read this articles, feel free to click the titles. :)

Start saving for Christmas ($1 A Day Challenge);
Ber months had started this month and the clinging sounds of the Christmas balls can be heard already. As a daughter and a big sister who's dreaming to give a better life to her family, it includes celebrations like Christmas and New Year. Aside from celebrating together and happily in this days, having delicious foods in our table and giving heart-warming gifts to them are my second goal.
But I am aware that it'll be hard to do so because I wasn't stable financially. So, I came with an idea of starting to save now. How? I created a wallet in bitcoin.cash, named it with **For Christmas ($1 A Day)**, and sends $1 every night in this wallet from my everyday earnings in noise.cash.
By the morning of September 01, here's how it looks.
As days passed by, here's how it looks now. I thought that I won't be able to have this numbers as my savings for Christmas, but look! I MADE IT HAPPENNNN! <3 I was able to accumulate 0.048 BCH in the first 30 days of Ber months. Looking forward for the next months. Fightingggg! 🤗
Well, don't mind this dollar currency as it kept on changing every time that BCH price increase or decrease. Focus here:
The goals above are those that I achieved. In here, this are the goals that I haven't yet accomplished. But, I will try again and again until I finally have it come true. *That's the spirit! 😉*
Start saving for bro's 18th birthday;
My younger brother will turn 18 by October 21. So to be able to throw a simple celebration for him too, I said to myself to start saving again. But, ooopsie! I forgotten this one. Hihi! *Sobrang dami kasing isipin, kaya ayan. 🙈* Bawi ako by the first or second week of the month.
Start doing my Thesis Outline;
I aimed to have a thesis title by this month so that I can start doing my thesis outline. But, hehe! Sorry na poooo. 😆 I promise, 'di ako tutulad sa mga seniors ko na wala pa din *daw* thesis outline until now. Hihi!
1 BCH!
I'll have you by October, I promise you that! For now, let's continue digging and hustling. 💗
Here's how my monthly goals goes. I experienced having both an accomplished and unaccomplished ones. However, I won't look at them as my failures. Rather, I will treat them as an additional motivations to keep on being a dreamer until I became an achiever.
Before I end this article, lemme leave this words first:
"Be a dreamer for months or years and be an achiever after. A more tougher and confident one."

I Turned Twenty-One: I Grown Older
**September 25, 2000**
Two decades and a year ago, a strong woman who is often called as **"Isang"** gave birth to a healthy and bouncing baby girl with a nickname of **"Mai-mai"** or **"Jem."**
It is the day that she risked her life as one of her foot was buried on the ground. As many said that giving birth is one of the many *life and death situations* that every women can at be.
Nonetheless, she still continued and strongly kept on pushing and pushing.
Until, a soft cries from a baby girl echoed inside the labor room of a public hospital.
After minutes or maybe an hour/s of laboring and pushing, she finally gave birth to her first born. To her first daughter. **To me.**
She gave all her time and love to me. Even though she was completely not that knowledgeable on the path that she was right back then. She did her very best to take care of me. To give all of my needs. And so, she fed me of lots and overflowing love, care, and nurture me through good things. She gave me all her attention.
And, look! After more than two decades, she had successfully succeed on her main goals.
***To guide me in the right path.***
***To guide me on being a good person.***
***To guide me on where I am right now.***
***To raise me, like this.***
Maybe, many of you here already known how family-oriented I am. How determined I am in life. How dedicated I am to achieve all my dreams, for me and our family. And, it's all because of my parents. Especially, my Mama.
Like what I had said in one of my posts yesterday ....
"September 25 is not just my day. But, it's my and Mama's day. 👩👧"
September 25, 2021
On this day, the once bouncing baby girl was now a lady. As that baby girl finally turned **twenty-one years old**.
On the morning of this day, I woke up by quarter to six o'clock. Too early for my usual time of waking up. And, too early for a lady who slept by 2:00AM to wake up. XD
I have this habit of staying at the bed silently for an hour or two, doing random stuffs. But, I can already hear that Mama and Papa was already awake, Well, Mama is an early bird so yeah. My parents seems more excited for my birthday, more excited than me. Haha! And, I know why. **The reason?**
It's simply because this is the day that they got me, on their arms.
One of the two kids of Mama's youngest sibling was sleeping on their side, ever since the kid was still an infant. In short, she grown up with Mama and Papa sleeping on her both sides. On this morning, I can already hear Mama and Papa telling our two-year old cousin that it's **"Ate Bes' birthday."**
*Short storytelling*
This cousin of our's and her big sister who was in the age of three had grown up calling me **"Ate Bes"** or short for **Ate Best.**
Mama kept on saying to our cousin to greet me. Guess what? The first woman to welcome me back then is the first woman to always greet me on my birthdays, Yes, always. As in, *walang palya.*
Papa had to drive someone to the city proper on the same morning, but before he leave he greeted me. His greeting do always made me cry. It's not just a simple saying of *happy birthday.* He always kiss my head and temple on my birthdays or in every occasions that we're celebrating because of me. Either it be my birthdays, graduations, my achievements. I mean, he do not do that always like on a daily basis. Because, he seems to be so shy to do those things now that we are already big and getting older.
Like what I did to my lil sis' birthday, I didn't told anyone that I have some savings for this day. But, Papa had asked me multiple times if I will go to the market. All that I'm saying was, **"I am not sure."** While he was out, I and Mama prepared ourselves so that when he got home, we can go to the market after he rest for some minutes.
Around quarter to eleven o'clock, we traveled for less than 20 minutes and after minutes of buying the ingredients in the wet and dry market, tadaaa! We are already inside the nearby store of Goldilocks.
*Short storytelling againnn ...*
Mama was scolding me for not sharing her ahead of time that I have some savings for my birthday presents. We are so close that it's so hard to keep a secret to her, to close that she'll know right away if I am lying. One look on my nose and she'll know it right away. Hahaha!
She's scolding me for keeping a secret but not for spending $13 for a cake. 🙈
But, look! Here she is. Helping me to choose a flavor for my cake.
And, tadaaaa! Here it is now. Safety inside the box. Let's unbox it laterrr. 😉💕
Aside from the greeting and gifts that I am receiving from Him, my parents and younger siblings, relatives, friends, previous and present blockmates, schoolmates, and even from my former ultimate crush (😆), I also received another big gift today! What is it? A cash assistance from being one of the scholars of our SK Chairman. Uwieeee! 🤗😍
After the meeting and payout, I and Papa leaved immediately and help in the preparation when we got home.
An hour had passed by and my friends had arrived. We chitchat for some minutes before proceeding to the main focus of the event, the eating timeeeeee.
For this day, we prepared some foods like:
**Pansit. Sopas. Coffee jelly. Pizzas. Cake.**
*Sorry sa mga fellow Filipino ko na naghihintay ng update about sa pa-Shanghai, wala pong lumpiang Shanghai. 'Di kinaya ng budget. 🤣*
And, after unboxing the box? Tadaaa, here it is now. One of my friend even cracked a joke saying, **"ay bongga. May pa-cake pa. Bata lang ang peg, egg?"** And, I answered her with this, **"at least busog ka na naman."** Then, we all laugh in the house. Because whenever they'll go in our house, their stomachs are always full. As in, full na full. 🤣
Here's a photo of me when I blown the candle. Actually, I didn't know that sis was taking some photos and look! She got lucky to capture this one. *Parang ang ganda ko lang d'yan eh.* 😆
Here's another photo that was captured by my friend's long-time boyfriend who is one of our photographers yesterday. Lol!
Does this photo is enough to somehow show how happy I am on this day? Because I was indeed so happy, really really happy. 💞
Aroun nine o'clock in the evening of September 25, 2021, Mama said this phrase when we are watching on the television after eating ....
**"On this hour, I already gave birth to you. Maybe you are already on the nursery."**
Through this words, I felt Mama's happiness by that time. I felt something in my heart, Mama's love. Unending love.
On this day, I turned twenty-one and I grown older.
Having a lot of improvements and was still looking forward for more, on the next days and months. 💗

I Got Another S!
Hello, hello, hellooooo! :) After being MIA (Missing-In-Action) for days (6 days to be specific), your future Agriculturist is backkkk.
Last week, I had received another heart-melting blessing. And, that's what I'm gonna share on this article. Are yah ready?
As a student, we all want to have a financial assistance that will help us upon studying. Any amount will be a very big help, especially to those unprivileged ones. And, this assistance was mostly known as **"scholarship."**
When I was still in Junior High School, I was already looking forward on having a financial assistance. Why? Because our parents don't have that much capability to earn more money that will make me and my siblings to attend school and have our diplomas. Yes, they are hardworking but speaking based on reality? It's not enough.
And, it continued until I reached Senior High School. I am more on determined to go to college so that I can have my dreams come true. But, there's a thing that kept on popping inside my young mind. **Does my parents can afford to make me go to college? To support my financial needs until I graduate?**
The right side of my mind said, *"they can because they want you to be successful."* But the left side was contradicting the other side and saying, *"they can't because your family is not financially stable."*
With this worries, I still continue to pass the requirements for College Admission Test (CAT) and I am so glad that I passed it and got an easy access to my dream course, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.
But, my worries and a lot of what ifs are still running inside my head.
So, when our graduation was already on the way. I started thinking on what scholarship programs should I apply at. I started with my own research. Will you believe me when I say that I don't frequently ask my friends and relatives (even those closest ones) or even my parents about this matters? It's not because I don't want to. But because I like to move on my own, alone.
*I searched for scholarship programs, alone.*
*I arranged the requirements and pass it, alone.*
I started applying for scholarships a week after I graduate in SHS. Will you, guys believe me if I said that I applied for seven scholarship programs? Will you?
But, seriously. I really applied for six scholarship programs. Six, as in **S-I-X.** What are this programs? Here they are:
**Municipal Scholarship Program-** it was the financial assistance that was given by our City Mayor. When I was still in SHS, I am not aware that there was a financial support that our municipal Mayor was giving. I just got aware when I had a summer job in the Municipal Hall. After knowing this, I immediately arranged the requirements and submit more than a week before the deadline.
**Vice Mayor's Scholarship Program-** this is funded by our City's Vice Mayor on his own budget (pocket).
**Malasakit Scholarship Program-** this one is the assistance from our Governor. I inquired for the qualifying examination when I was still having my 20-days summer job and take the exam. I passed but sadly I wasn't got in because there was a quota.
**CHED Scholarship Program-** I know that maybe some of the Filipino creators here (students) had also applied for this assistance. Me? I applied, too. I submitted the requirements, twice. On our university's Office of Admissions and in our Vice Mayor's Office because they are those whose handling the application by that time.
**Department of Agriculture (DA) Scholarship Program-** as a BS Agriculture students, the DA was giving a financial assistance. I submitted my requirements through LBS because I can't afford to personally pass it. Why? Because it was in their Main Office in San Fernando, Pampanga. Can't afford it.
**Vicente B. Bello Scholarship (VBBSP) Program-** I applied for this one on the first week of being a freshman student. This scholarship program was funded by one of the known clothing company in the Philippines and the application wasn't like the usual application that applicants will just pass the requirements. We, the applicants will pass the requirements on the university's OAd then will wait for the notice to proceed on the next stop. The interview with the company's Director.
*Storytelling*
I cried during the interview because the Director was asking questions based on what we wrote in the essay about our life. I wrote our struggles in life like the discrimination from our relatives and what my brother had experienced on his school. Then before the interview had finished, she asked for my address because she will visit our home. I am one of the two applicants that she visited at home. Because I have a next subject by that time, she just asked for one of the OAd's personnel to come with her. When she said that she'll visit us at home, I know it. I know that I will pass!
Here's the procedures that we got in this program:
Passing of the requirements ➡ screening ➡ interview ➡ screening ➡ screening.
In this six scholarship programs, I passed on the two. I got the assistance from VBBSP and from our Mayor. And, I still have this two until now and I am planning to keep it until I graduate.
On the second semester of A.Y. 2019-2020, I got another one for being the Academic Scholars of our university. And, I still have it maintained until now.
And, the highlight of this article is when I got another S. S stands for **Scholarship. 💛**
October, last year 2020. Our SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) Chairman had another project which is a financial assistance for the Senior High School and college students in our community (barangay) which is the **iSKolar Ni SK**. So, right after I read their post on the morning? I immediately photocopy my Certificate of Grades and Certificate of Registration then passed it, afterwards.
But, the results had turned long overdue. I remembered that I post something on noise.cash that I am not expecting to be included in the grantees because there was a quota. In fact, I removed it in my mind. But, then? I received a message from our SK's Facebook page on **September 12, 2021 around 7:50 in the evening**. Though, I just read that message by quarter to 10:00.
I was already lying on the bed when I checked my Facebook messenger and my eyes widened when I opened that message. Here it is:
When I saw that? I nearly shout but because most in the house are already sleeping, I refrained myself from doing it. I just shout, silently. I was nearly teary eyed from that time because I really didn't expect it. It was indeed an, **"expect the unexpected."** <3
This time, I said to myself that, **"I got another scholarship. Another blessing."**
I didn't said it to my parents immediately. I just said it to Mama on the next day, by afternoon. She was so happy and said to, **"very good."** Then, smiled at me.
Two words, but the effect on me was so much.
On September 16, 2021, I got the proof that I really got another S when our SK Chairman go to our house to personally give it to me. **The scholar's shirt, my shirt.**
I was really so happy and grateful by this time.
As per said on our Facebook group chat, we'll gonna have a meeting tomorrow. Not just a simple meeting, but we'll gonna get some blessings. Wieee! Hoping that it'll be finally held tomorrow after being rescheduled, the last time.
Another reason to strive and work hard. Another inspiration to keep going until I reach the end of college days, the graduation. 💕
Padayon, selffff! :)

Days With Bitcoin Cash: A Recap
**Bitcoin Cash or BCH.**
The crypto-coin that I was with since January 2021 and until now.
The crypto-coin that I wasn't aware of the existence before, until a friend introduced it to me.
The crypto-coin that seems to be so hard to earn, but no.
A coin that many people had been wasting an opportunity to earn.
The crypto-coin that helps me a lot. Both financially and mentally.
The coin that I love next to our own (Philippine Peso) coin.
*How?*
We all find financial stuffs so hard to deal with especially if we aren't that lucky to have more in our pockets, wallets, or bank accounts. Because of that, we are being so problematic to the point that we are being stress and worst, depressed.
But, there's this coin that was so willing to rescue us. What is this coin?
It none other than **Bitcoin Cash** or most called us **BCH**. And, yes! BCH got our back. 💛
Through noise.cash and read.cash, we can earn this coin.
Well, aside from the airdrops that are making noise in the past few days. With this platforms, we can earn BCH.
We'll just post our 'good morning posts' in noise.cash and boom! We can earn BCH.
We'll post our 'good night posts' and when we woke up in the next morning? We can have it in our wallets.
We can post our rants, our happy and sad moments, our problems and dramas in life, or whatever it is. Also, we can write and published an article with any topic that we want to share to our co-users and co-creators. But, always remember to follow the rules and prevent doing the don'ts of this platforms.
And, tadaaa! There's a high possibility that we can earn some livings.
In that, our financial problems will be somehow solved and our mental problems like stress brought by financial problems? It can be eased. And of course, with a bonus of having a camaraderie. A virtual family. <3
I, as an striving student and a daughter and a big sister, BCH had been a great companion to me.
*Because of this coin .....*
I don't need to worry that much for my weekly load.
I don't worry that much if I can have some to spend for our school needs.
I don't need to think too much if how can I earn to be able to help our parents.
I don't and thanks to this two wonderful platforms that helped me to earn this coin. It's none other than **noise.cash** and **read.cash! 💕**
Now, let me share the days that I had with BCH!
`Well, I didn't totally spent BCH. Because I am converting this coin into fiat so that I can be able to spend it here in our country.`
July 14, 2021
In this day, Mama got sick. So to be able to help her feel better, I decided to pinched some in my converted BCH. From my 'earn now, convert later' actions from January to June, I was able to save some livings that I used for my weekly load allowance and when Mama got sick.
I asked Papa to drive me to the city proper because I will buy some foods and medicines for Mama. So, we travel for almost twenty minutes until we got there. My first stop was to the supermarket wherein I took a minutes of grocery time. I bought some of our essential necessities like foods, toiletries, and health essential needs like alcohols and face masks.
After I am all done, I proceeded to the dry market to buy some fruits and kitchen supplies like oils, salt, and such. Then, on the wet market? I bought our meals for dinner. Then, of course, I also enter the nearest and one of our trusted pharmacies to buy Mama's medicines.
And, yeah. **This is the first time that I had enjoyed my BCH earnings. 💕**
July 21, 2021
From my first cash out, I saved some for my younger sister's 11th birthday. After we ate our lunch, I along with Mama and Papa prepared ourselves to go to the city proper to buy my sister's some birthday presents. And, tadaaaa! After a tiring hour of buying ingredients and all the needed things? We then go home and proceeded in cooking.
After almost two hours of preparation and cooking, tadaaa! The table was all set up with her presents (handa) above. We sang a 'Happy Birthday' song for her while she's in front of her cake. Yes, I was also able to bought her a cake from the Goldilocks' in the city proper.
Here's a photo of my sister with her BCH cake. Well, it's not a BCH themed cake but I was able to buy this one through this coin. So, yeah. It's sis' day with her **BCH cake and BCH, itself. 🎂**
July 23, 2021
I had shared before that I am fond of buying our needed school supplies a month before the classes starts. Why? It's to avoid panic buying and to avoid high prices. Because once that we buy when the classes are near to start? The prices will start to be increase because of the high demand. And, I've witness it so many times.
It's a rainy afternoon on the 23rd day of July when I started buying school supplies. I first get some of the stationaries like pencils, erasers, sharpies, colors, tapes, correction tapes, glues, and such.
I don't buy papers and notebooks yet because I need to wait for the announcements and instructors.
Through BCH, I had lessen the things that I need to think of. 💖

On the night of August 03, Mama find it so difficult to breathe because of her cough and maybe some problems that she's been thinking of. Problems that aren't ours, in the first place. Yes, I bough her some medicines on July 14 but it was more on for her fever. But on August 02, it's for her cough. Mama was not a fan of medicines but we pushed her to take it because it will help her to feel better. Glad that she agreed and let us lead the way.
Aside from the medicines, I was also able to print my needed documents for my scholarship renewal.
August 19, 2021
This day, we go to my younger brother's school to enroll him for Grade 9. Because I don't want to go out without some in my pockets, I withdrawn again. So because it was a tiring day, I had treated my parents with some foods and was also able to have some take-outs for my siblings waiting at home. And, looook! I had bought some cheek and lip gel tints. Wieee! 🥳 *Naisingit si self. HIHI!*
August 13, 2021
Today, we'll gonna have our grocery time againnnnn. The one that I used for this is my August 1-12 earnings in read.cash and was also my first time to withdrawn more bigger amount. Which I used to buy more stuffs and stocks. This time, my younger sister go with me and Mama was left at home.
First station? To the supermarket againnn. I first get our needs such as the food stocks, snacks, and toiletries. After that I add some products (those that are not in the list) on my pushcart. When I was done with this, I proceeded in the clothing section because the face masks are in there.
Next station? On the dry market. After that, we go to the food park where there are a looooot of fooooods! Yumyummm.
This is the first time that lil sis had go out again, so she's somehow *'parang naninibago.'* Haha! And, after walking and looking for the food stalls? We got some milk teas, buko shake, fries, and proven. Wieee! Lil sis' tummy was full again. Also, we got some take-outs for Mama, bro, and our two toddler cousins.
Next stop? To the wet market to buy some chicken and veggies for dinner and on the next meals. Last station? To the rice station wherein I bought some kilos of rice to add to our stock.
Overall, I got a box full of groceries stocks, paper bags of toiletries and boxes of face masks, 15 kilos of rice, snacks, and meals.
This is the biggest day that I had with BCH, so farrrr! Looking forward for more. 💛💕
August 15, 2021
This day, I and lil sis got our haircuts. It took us a long time before we considered Papa to let us cut sis' long and silky hair. As for me? They let me decide on when to cut my hair. They don't take it too seriously because I have a curly hair. *Bahala daw ako sa buhay ko. HAHAHA!* It didn't took us long before we got this new haircut because there's only a few customers in the salon. And, tadaaa! We got our short hair. I will recommend this hair cut, it will make us look younger and more fresh. *Sanaol fresh! Hihi.*
I already had shared this first seven days with this articles: **Noise.cash And Read.cash Helps Me To?** and **She Turned Eleven** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/noisecash-and-readcash-helps-me-to-6ec1976d https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/she-turned-eleven-1c82d25d
September 01, 2021
Well, this day was just the same on what we did by August 13. So, yeah! <3
Got another stocksss! It will be enough for two-weeks, so we'll gonna calm down and won't think for our foods that much.
And, I also got some kilos of rice again. *Para mas kumalma pa si Mother Earth. 😉*
Tadaaaa! Here's what we've got in staying and walking in the city proper. There's more in our family vehicle that I wasn't be able to include in the photo.
September 07, 2021
This is the day that I had completed our needed school supplies. I bought 12 notebooks for lil sis and bro, box of black pens and pencil colors, pieces of red pens, a ream of bond papers, and some other stuffs.
Aside from that, I was also able to share this another BCH day with my friends as they go to our house to pay some visit and do our activity. Oh, I'm wrong. Just to eat pala. Kiddinggg! Haha!
*Pero feel ko nakikain lang talaga sila eh kasi puro eggs na lang daw kinakain nila. Saka wala naman kaming nagawa eh. Echos lang namin 'yung gawa-gawa kunyari. 😂🤣*

Gonna Get My Vaccine Shot: Plan Gone Wrong
It's been years since the pandemic brought by the harmful corona virus started. Our lives had suddenly changed and we don't know if when can we bring it back or if we can still be able to bring it back.
Before, we can walk on the streets even without wearing our face masks. Now, we can't go outside without it as it worries us that we might get the virus or be invited by the authorities in their stations and will make us pay for fine (*multa* in Filipino).
Before, we can travel without any RT-PCR or Antigen Tests, travel certificates, or travel pass. Just our passports, luggage, pocket money, and ourselves are enough. Now, we can't. Without this requirements, we can't enter boundaries.
Before, we study in a face-to-face mode. The difficulties of studying do become more easier through our teachers and professors teaching and guiding us. Studying our lessons and reviewing for examinations becomes easy to deal with with our friends on our sides. Mental and emotional breakdown was less because of them. In sort, we are not alone. Now, we can't go to school and universities to study. We are alone inside the four corners of our house, dealing with the modules and our mental health.
Before, we can go inside the supermarkets, restaurants, fast-food chains, and other establishments without filling up in the contact tracing sheet and without getting our body temperatures. Now, we can't. We can't go inside without doing this processes and we can't go inside without wearing a face masks and a face shields.
Before, we are riding public utility vehicles (PUVs) with us being a sardines inside. Now, we can't because we are required to strictly follow health protocols like social distancing.
Before, we are teasing our friends, relatives, and other people when they have coughs and even saying that, *"isang ubo ka na lang."* Now, we or some other people find it so disgusting, harmful, and infectious.
Before, our medical practitioners like doctors, nurses, and other people working under the health sector are so lively, energetic, and seems like no one can stop them from helping and serving us. Now, their energy and wants to serve their country are now slowly fading away. They are now feeling so much tiredness, exhaustion, mental and health problems. And, their one foot are buried on the ground. Many are giving up and worst, gone.
That was before, when we are still living our lives to the fullest and was still free. Now? Are we still free? Yes, we still are. But, not like how we used to before. Why? Because of this virus circulating around, waiting to harm us.
There's a solution for it. What is it? **Cure**. But sadly, virus-related diseases don't have cures. There are no medicines that can cure it. Why? Because virus diseases are way too different from diseases caused by bacteria. All we have now are **vaccines**. Always remember that vaccines are not a cure, it's more on a preventive measure. It can prevent us from experiencing more severe symptoms and will lessen the possibility of us being infected. Will lessen, but there's still a possibility that a vaccinated citizen can still be infected. So don't believe when your neighbor said that a person is already safe and won't be infected because he or she is already vaccinated. Remind them to stop spreading fake information.
Now, the question is: **"will you get the vaccine? Or nah?"**
Also, are you ready to get your shots? Or nah? If not yet, when?
Many people are still having doubts and worries. And, I and my family are one of these many people. One of our clear reasons are the numbers of deaths of vaccinated people. And our doubts if the vaccines are safe to be taken. One way to find out? **Do our own research*****.*** Read and watch news, conduct a research, observe and evaluate. This ways can help us decide on whether to take the vaccine or not.
On the start of the vaccination, we are free to have our choice of whether to get a vaccine or not. In short, it's not **mandatory**. Because they understand the doubts of the citizens and was respecting the rights to make a decision.
But, are we still free to make a decision?
What make me think of that question? It's the emerging news about the **Bakuna Bubble** wherein some establishments are just allowing vaccinated people to enter such vicinities like supermarkets and even in some clinics.
Before, I am not worried if I will not get the vaccine. But, now? I do. My family do. What are we worried for? The Bakuna Bubble. The fact that there's a high possibility that there will be a discrimination between vaccinated and not vaccinated people.
"We are afraid of the virus. But, we are more afraid of what humans can do and think." -imanagrcltrst, 2021.
And so, we made a decision. On the afternoon of Thursday, we finally had decided to get our vaccine shots. I, Mama, Papa, Tita, and Ninong (Tito). Minutes after our talks, we had communicated to the barangay hall for the registration.
I was so determined that time. Seems like my worries fades and popped like a bubble, so fast. Actually, registering was already on my to-do list on Friday.
But .......
Our plans, my plans do gone wrong.
Yesterday morning, I kept on sneezing and sneezing and sneezing. For me, it was normal. Because I was always like this every morning or whenever I will wake up. Papa teased me and said how can I take my shots if I kept on sneezing. And I answered, *"Papa, 'di ka pa sanay sa ilong ko tuwing umaga?"* Then, I laughed. But, I was still sneezing and sniffing until lunch. And, I told myself that it's not normal anymore.
While having our virtual meeting in my Seminar 1 class, around 2:00 in the afternoon. I started feeling dizziness, my head and body seems to be heavy.
And, by that? Our plans had totally gone wrong.
I don't have a closed contact to a COVID-19 positive nor I don't also go outside while it's raining. The reasons that I was thinking of? Tiredness, lack of sleep and rest.
I am a grinderist and my day won't be completed without me doing productive things. But, seems like my body had drained its energy and was asking for more rest. So, I will grant it. I will grab more time to rest and relax my body and mind. I will set aside my daily goal of being productive, for the meantime.
Because of this, Papa teased me again. Saying that my body don't want to be vaccinated, yet. And so, I suggest them to get the shot and don't wait for my colds to fade away. But, Papa insisted that we should take the vaccine together. So, okay.
Yesterday, I was asking myself, **"why now? why when I finally got the determination and courage to get the vaccine?"**
Maybe, it's not the time yet? I don't know, too. Well, I just hope that this not-so-good feeling will get better, soonest. Before my determination and courage go away and be eaten by my worries and doubts, again and again and again. *crossed fingers*
Before I end this article, let me leave this words. 💕
"Take care of ourselves and health. As it is our greatest weapon to survive this current situation of us. Let's take care of it because it's our obligation to do so. And, that no one will do that for us but just ourselves."

2021 Goals: Achieved Or Still In The Process?
Setting goals helps us to be more dedicated and determined in achieving whatever we want to achieved. Whenever we do this? We somehow become able to be more near to our dreams.
It can be **daily** just like what I usually do on listing my every day's to-do in my phone's notepads and post-it notes.
It can be **weekly** or **monthly**, just like how we set our goals in a monthly basis that we are fond to share here on the first day or week of the month and on the last two days? We often shared our achieved goals through our monthly reports.
Also, it can be a **yearly** goals. Just like this one.
I created this set of goals or what I call as **My 2021 Goals** on the month of January, this year. But, I don't remember the exact date anymore. 🤣
And, here it is. Most of this are obviously not just for myself, but for our family. Well, like many had said "*I'm a family-oriented lady.*" <3
Yes, I am an organized lady who is so fond of listing such things like my daily to-dos and goals. My reason? For my day to have a direction. Haha! Because without this? I am so sure that I will just lay down on the bed, the whole day. I was also the same in school-related or house-related tasks. But, as I set such goals? I was asking myself some questions and the top question is, *"are they attainable?"* or *"can I achieved it?"*
As days and months passed by? I can be able to slowly answer my own questions.
*Are they attainable?* Yes, they are. Because if they aren't, I will not make it as my goal/s.
*Can I achieved it?* Yes. Because I want to achieve it, I will do every thing and my very best to make this goals a real one.
It's been more than seven months since I started grinding and working harder and smarter for this goals to be attained. Now, let's see what's going on with this goals of mine.
**Did I already achieved them? Or not ..... yet?**
*Here are the goals that I had already achieved.*
**Achieved**
**Buy a new phone for me.**
October 31, 2019 is the day when I first bought a phone from my own money. It's a **Cherry Mobile J2 Max**, one of the friendly-budget phones in the market. I bought it when I first got my scholarship allowance when I was in my first year in college and I've used it until May 28, 2021. Using it for almost two years are indeed good because even though it's not that high-tech, it helped me on my studies and side hustles very much.
But as we all know, there's no permanent thing in this world. Even your *jowa*. 😆 After using it for over 19 months, it finally said "good bye."
Because I don't have enough savings to buy a new phone immediately, I had to wait for my scholarship allowance to be given to us. All that I used in my side hustles, social media life, and in my Midterm Summer Class is my laptop. I had to endure the higher level of radiation and it's weight. Until, the day that I've been waiting had come.
June 24, 2021 when our Scholarship OIC said that our allowance was already deposited in our bank accounts. On the next day (**June 25, 2021**), I withdrawn it with Papa and we immediately go to the city proper by the afternoon to buy our needed things and pay for three months payment of Papa's motorcycle.
I didn't mind spending some pennies for our family even though it's not my responsibilities and our parents didn't obliged me. I don't mind, as long as I can buy a new phone.
And, so I did. I finally had a new one. Here it is.
I had written an article about this one. If you want to read it, just click this title: **Unboxing My Goals** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/unboxing-my-goals-980ed60a
**Finance our family's birthday celebrations;**
***(A) Papa's 42nd birthday***
***(B) Mama's 37th birthday***
This year, Mama turned 37 last June 05 and Papa also turned 42 on the next day. Because of that, we just celebrated their birthdays as one on June 07. They don't want to spend that much even if I said that it's on me, so Mama just said that we should just cook some *sopas* with some drinks. And, so we did.
Next year, I will not tell them that I will throw a simple celebration for their birthdays. Mama will just say no. XD
***(C) Lil sis' 11th birthday***
My little sister had celebrated her 11th birthday last July 20. No one knows in our house that I will buy her some birthday presents. No one but me, you guys in noise.cash, and Him. Why? Because I always said that I don't have an extra money and that I can now play the role of being secretive. Kidding. I can't be that secretive for too long as Mama will know it, immediately. 😂
She was so happy when she had known that she'll gonna have some presents, but when she saw the yellow box that I am holding? Her eyes glistened more. Seems like she will cry if someone in the house will tease her. Haha! Yes, the money that I used for her birthday wasn't earned that easy but just her smiles, hugs, and thank you? It made me so satisfied and happy, as well. 💛
She deserved an article, so I made one for her. Here it is: **She Turned Eleven** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/she-turned-eleven-1c82d25d
**Be a Academic Scholar for this whole Academic Year 2020-2021.**
I didn't expect or aimed to be an Academic Scholar of our university. All that I wanted is just to maintain my grades as it will be my key to keep my VBBSP scholarship until I graduate. But, He was indeed so good. He gave me another opportunity to grown and be able to help our family more, especially in terms of financial aspects.
For the two semesters of Academic Year 2020-2021, I maintained to keep my spot. On the first semester, I was able to be one of the students who got a GWA of 1.50 and below who are classified as a **University Scholars**. I didn't expect it as I said that I was not aiming for this remarks on my Certificate of Grades. But, I was so happy. Because it means that I can have the cash incentives that will be a big help for our family.
And, our struggles on the next semester had became more intense. Second semesters are indeed one of the great definitions of ***"struggles is real."*** HAHAHA! I said to myself that it's okay if I won't be able to secure my spot as long as I won't have a fail grades that will badly affect my main scholarship. But, I still got innnnn! Wie.
Let's see if I can still have it on this another Academic Year. What's your bet? Me? I don't know and I don't want to think because it will might just add to my stress and will make me feel pressured. Just like what I had said, **"I'm a goal-digger and not a stress-digger." 💕**
Here's my article about this one. Feel free to read it any time and anywhere. Hihi! **Another Goal Unlocked: So Happy!** https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/another-goal-unlocked-so-happy-7843668a
*Now, let's proceed to my goals that are still in the process of making them come true.*
**Still In The Process**
**Buy my own printer.**
**Start printing business at home.**
This two goals are connected to each other. If I will be able to buy a printer this year, I will also be able to start a small printing business. Well, I am hoping that I can have my first BCH before this year ends and before the BCH price hits $1K again. 😉
**Buy a new phone for my younger brother.**
My younger brother had already enrolled again in the secondary level. I promised him that I will buy him a new phone as his current phone was too old and he had been encountering techno-problems. Another reasons why I want to give him a new one is that it will help him in his studies and will also reduce the lessons that I need to teach to him. So, even if Mama was not that agreed about this? I will still pursue it because it was not just my brother who will benefit through it. But, I am, too.
Where will I get the money to buy it? Not from my crypto earning nor in my tutorials. But, from my scholarship allowance for the last semester of A.Y 2020-2021. I'm just hoping that I can have it before he became more busy in his studies. And I, too.
**Finance our family's birthday celebrations;**
***(A) My 21st birthday***
This one will just be achieved on September 25. Yes, I will finance my own birthday. Not just because our parents can't do it anymore but also to treat and spoil myself for a job-well done. <3
*Tumatanggap na din po ako ng regalo, pwede na sigurong BCH. HIHI! 😁*
***(B) Lil bro's 18th birthday***
As per this one, lil bro will turn 18 on October 21st. I can make it happen but not yet.
**Start a small baking business with Papa.**
I already had mentioned before that Papa doesn't have a regular and stable job and that his characteristics suddenly changes. He became more serious, a short-tempered, and had became a fan of complaining. I know that losing his job that was also his life affects him this much. So to be able to help him bring back the old him? I want to start a baking business at the house. I know that we can make it grow, it's just that we don't have the needed tools and equipment. And, most of all? The capital. No one in the house knows that I am planning this, so I am making it happen all by myself.
Hoping that I can achieve it this year. *crossed fingers*
**Have five or more regular clients on my tutorial sessions.**
I don't think that I will continue this one. As I was becoming more busier in my studies, responsibilities, and side hustles. One regular and generous client will be enough.
**Finish paying Papa's motorcycle.**
By October, last year? We still have to pay for 16 months. And as of now, we just have four remaining months to pay. It's the months of October 2021 to January 2022. With the current state of Mama's job, it became harder to save for the payment. But, we can do this. As long as we are moving as one, we can.
*Now, let's proceed to the goals that I hadn't yet finished but was already accomplished.*
`Ang gulo ba? HAHAHA! 😅`
**Achieved but 'Still-In-The-Process'**
**Earn thousand pesos on my read.cash and noise.cash accounts.**
When I made this list of goals, I wasn't that determined and active here in read.cash. Sure that I want to write ang grow, but maybe I was not that compassionate before? But, all thanks to my friend @carisdaneym2 for waking up the 'writer spirit' within me.
I already had achieved this goal, many times. But, it was not yet finished. Why? Because I will still keep goin'. <3
**Deposit at least seven thousand pesos (PhP 7,000.00) on my bank account before this year ends.**
This one? At first, I thought that I can d this through my scholarship allowance. But, I was wrong. As the pandemic keeps on goin' more harder, our living was being affected too. Mama and Papa was finding it more harder to earn just to have something to fulfill our needs. So, I decided that we will use my allowance for our needs. And, so I thought that I will not be able to achieved this goal.
All thanks to this two wonderful platforms and to my virtual family for making ma able to make it happen. As of now, I also had achieved this goal, too. But, I can't do the depositing yet. Why? I want my earnings to grow more as I grow more, too. I'll wait until I was able to hold one or more BCH and maybe I will do it when the BCH price hits $1K again or even higher. *If the market will make our wish come true. 😉*
And, here's for today's article. I hope that my writing skills wasn't rusty already after not being able to write for days. Oh, I am not referring to Rusty, okiii? 😁 What I mean is *kinakalawang na.* Haha!
"I know that all of us has our own set of goals. It may be an easy one or a difficult one. But always remember that we can make it all happen, despite of all the hindrances that we might encounter while on the way of achieving it. Just don't ever think of giving up. Just take some rest, but don't give up. Because we are an achiever and not a quitter."

Ma'Pa, Pahinga Muna
Sila ang dalawang tao na pinaka-unang tumanggap at nagmahal sa atin.
**Sila iyong tao ...**
Na handa tayong mahalin nang walang hinihinging kahit na anong kapalit.
Na handa tayong tanggapin kahit na ilang beses pa tayong magkamali.
Na handa tayong paulit-ulit na patawarin kahit na paulit-ulit din tayong magkamali at makagawa ng kasalanan.
Na handang ibaba ang pride dahil 'di tayo kayang tikisin.
Na handa tayong gabayan mula noong sanggol pa lamang tayo at hanggang sa pagtanda natin.
Na handa tayong ituro sa tamang landas kapag naliligaw tayo.
Na handa tayong unawain kahit na tayo mismo ay 'di na maintindihan ang ating sarili.
Sila iyong hinding-hindi tayo tatalikuran kahit na talikuran pa tayo ng mundo.
*Pero sino nga ba sila?*
**Magulang.**
**Ina, Ama.**
Oo, tapos na ang Father's Day o Mother's Day pero 'di ba't araw naman nila araw-araw?
Kaya naman nais kong isulat ang artikulo na ito para sa kanila, para kila **Ama at Ina**. Para kila **Papa at Mama**.
Para kahit papaano ay masabi ko kung gaano ako kasaya na sila ang ibinigay Niya sa akin, sa aming magkakapatid.
Para kahit papano ay masabi ko kung gaano ako ka-proud sa mga bagay na ginawa at handa pa nilang gawin para sa amin.
Kaya, Papa at Mama? Para ito sa inyo. ❤
`Ang artikulo na ito ay isinulat sa gabay nang kantang MAPA ng SB19.`
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDyr3DbTPtk
MAMA ...
Mama, palagi kitang hinahanap. Mawala ka lang sa paningin ko ay abot na ang tanong ko kung nasaan ka, kung umalis ka ba at saan ka nagpunta.
Kapag kakain na, ikaw ang una kong tinatawag kahit na napaka-hirap mong tawagin kaya naman ay nagagalit si Papa.
Tingnan lang kita, alam ko na kapag galit ka o naiinis ka. Lalo na kapag masaya ka.
Ikaw 'yung 'di ko magawang pagsinungalingan kasi sabi alam mo kapag nagsisinungaling ako. Sabi mo ay may tinitingnan ka sa gawi ng nose bridge ko at malalaman mo na kung nagsasabi ako ng totoo o hindi. Kaya naman sa paglipas ng mga taon ay mas naging mas malapit pa ako sa'yo.
Ilang taon na kitang kasama. Mula pa noong dugo pa lang ako sa sinapupunan mo at hanggang ngayon. Pero may mga salita na hindi ko gaanong nabibigkas sa'yo o ni naitatanong man lamang.
*Mama, kamusta na?*
Isa ito sa mga tanong na ang dalang kong itanong sa iyo. ***Mama, kamusta na? Kamusta ka?*** Sa mga nakalipas na taon, nakikita ko kung gaano ka nagsusumikap at kumakayod para sa amin, para sa pamilya natin. Nandiyan na nag-tindera ka, nag-kasambahay, nag-labandera.
Nitong nagsimula ako sa kolehiyo, mas kumayod ka pa. Lalo na noong nagkasakit si Papa at 'di makapagtrabaho, ikaw ang kumayod para sa amin. Tumanggap ka ng mga labada, hindi lang mula sa isa kun'di umabot pa sa isang dosena. Kusot dito, kusot doon. Piga dito, piga doon.
Pero 'di ko na matandaan kung kailan kita huling kinumusta. Pero sana nararamdaman mo na gusto kong palaging nasa maayos at mabuting kalagayan ka lang. Katulad kung paano mo hinangad na lagi kaming mapabuti.
*Lagi na lang kami ang nauuna,*
*di'ba pwedeng ikaw muna?*
*Akin na'ng pangamba.*
Kami ang palagi mong inuuna. Sa pagkain man iyan o sa iba pang mga pangangailangan namin. 'Yun bang isusubo mo na lang pero ibibigay mo pa sa amin.
Natatandaan ko pa isang araw na nagpunta tayo sa bayan para mamili ng mga kailangan natin sa bahay. May nakita ka na sandals na sobra mong nagustuhan. Tinanong mo kung magkano at nalaman mo na isang daan at limampung piso ang kailangan. 'Di mo binili kasi sabi mo bibili pa tayo ng bigas.
Ito 'yung panahon na 'di pa kita mabilhan ng mga gusto mo kasi wala pa akong maibubuga. Wala pa akong maiambag, kun'di ang mga pangarap ko pa lang.
Pero ngayon, pwede na. May maibubuga na ako, Mama. Pwede ka nang makabili ng sandals na gusto mo kasi nakaka-ginhawa na tayo. Pwede na , Mama. Pwede na.
'Wag ka nang mag-alala o mangamba, Mama. Bilhin mo na 'yung gusto mong damit o sandals. Pwede na, Mama. Kasi ako naman ngayon ang bibili ng bigas natin o ng ibang mga pangangailangan. Ako naman, 'Ma. Ako naman.
*Dahil ikaw ang aking mata*
*Sa t'wing mundo'y nag-iiba.*
'Di ba nga, ikaw ang Ilaw ng Tahanan. Ikaw ang nagsisilbi naming ilaw kapag madilim at kailangan namin ng liwanang.
Oo, wala kang bitbit na ilaw pero iyang nag-uumapaw at wang kapantay mong pagmamahal at kalinga? Sapat na iyan para magsilbi naming liwanag.
Nasa sinapupunan mo pa lang ako, kaming magkakapatid ay ikaw na ang nagbigay sa amin ng liwanag. Liwanag na ginamit namin sa loob ng madilim mong sinapupunan.
Noong isinilang mo kami ay 'di pa namin kayang makakita, pero sa pamamagitan ng mga haplos at salita mo ay unti-unti naming nakita kung gaano kaganda ang mundo. Dahil nandito ka.
Mapuno man ng mga pagbabago dito ay kakayanin namin na sumabay. Dahil nandiyan ka, nandiyan ka para gabayan kami.
*Ang dahilan ng aking paghinga.*
Oo, ibinigay lang kami sa inyo. Ibinigay lang Niya kami. Pero dahil sa'yo ay nagkaroon ako, kami ng pagkakataon na huminga. Dahil sinikap mo na maibigay sa amin ang pagkakataon na iyon.
Iningatan mo kami mula noong nasa sinapupunan mo pa lamang kami at hanggang sa ngayon, kahit na nakakaya na namin na tumayo sa mga sarili naming mga paa. Paunti-unti.
Salamat, Mama. Salamat!
*Kaya 'wag mag-alala.*
Mahirap ang buhay natin pero para saan ba at makakaalwan din tayo. Darating din iyon kahit na mabagal ang proseso. Tiyaga lang, Mama.
At ito na nga. Nakakaginhawa na tayo.
Kaya naman pwede ka nang 'wag mag-alala nang sobra, Mama. Kalma ka na kasi 'di na tayo magugutom tulad nang dati.
'Wag ka nang mag-alala kung may kakainin ba tayo kasi nandito ako. Tutulungan kita, kayo ni Ama.
*Tahan na.*
Alam ko na may mga pagkakataon na gusto mong umiyak dahil sa mga problema o sa klase ng buhay na mayroon tayo.
Gusto mong umiyak kasi parang ang imposible na maka-ahon tayo.
Gusto mong iyakan iyong mga problema na 'di mo dapat iniisip. Mga problema na dala ng mga kapatid mo.
Kaya, sige lang. Iiyak mo lang, Mama. 'Di mo kailangan na maghanap ng ko-comfort sa'yo. Kasi nandito ako, kami para sabihin na "*tahan na.*"
*Pahinga muna, ako na'ng bahala.*
Alam kong marami pa tayong pagdadaanan. Mga masasaya o malulungkot na araw. Mga problema na kayang-kaya nating lampasan. Mga gastusin at kung anu-ano pa.
Marami pa tayong labada na kukusutin at paplantsahin. Marami pa. Pero, Mama? Balang araw ay masasabi ko din sa'yo na, *"pahinga muna"* kasi *"ako na'ng bahala."*
*Labis pa sa labis ang 'yong nagawa.*
Sobrang dami mo ng nagawa para sa amin. Iyon pa lang na pinili mong i-keep ako kahit na ang bata-bata mo pa noong ibinigay Niya ako sa'yo. Pinili mo na i-keep ako kahit na pwedeng-pwede mo akong ipalaglag kasi delikado pa para magbuntis at manganak para sa kinse anyos na babae na katulad mo.
Pinili mo na i-keep ako kahit na magagalit sila Lolo at Lola sa'yo na pwede ka pa nilang itakwil. Pinili mo kahit na ang dami mo pang mga pangarap na gustong abutin. 'Di ba nga sasakay ka pa sana ng eroplano? Kasi gusto mo na maging Flight Attendant kahit na alam natin na 'di ka pasado sa height requirement.
Pinili mo ako kahit na may mas magandang buhay pa na naghihintay sa'yo.
Iyan pa lang ay sobra-sobra na.
*Mama, pahinga muna.*
*Ako na.*
Mama, kaunting hintay na lang. Kaunting tiis pa at mas giginhawa pa ang buhay natin.
Darating din 'yung araw na 'di mo na kailangan pang mangamba kung may magpapalaba pa ba sa iyo. Kung may pera ka pa ba para sa mga pangangailangan natin.
At kapag dumating na ang araw na iyon? Ako naman. Ako naman ang kakayod para sa atin.
PAPA ...
*Papa, naaalala mo pa ba?*
*'Nung ako ay bata pa, 'di ba?*
Papa, alam kong naaalala mo pa. 'Yung panahon na nakilala mo si Mama at umibig kaagad sa kaniya. Pag-ibig na dahilan kung bakit ako nandito ngayon.
Papa, alam kong naaalala mo pa. 'Yung saya at lakas ng tibok ng puso mo noong una mo ako, kaming nakita at nahagkan. Unang beses na nayakap mo kami at naramdaman ang tibok ng mga puso namin.
Papa, alam kong naaalala mo pa. 'Yung mga panahon na nandiyan ka para alalalayan kami sa pagkain, paglalakad, o ultimo sa pag-upo dahil 'di pa namin kaya.
Papa, alam kong naaalala mo pa. 'Yung mga masasayang alaala natin noong mga bata pa kami. 'Di ko na iisa-isahin kasi baka umabot tayo ng taon.
Pero tumanda ka man, alam kong maaalala mo lahat ng mga iyon.
Makalimot man ang isip mo dahil sa katandaan pero hindi ang puso mo. Hinding-hindi.
*Aking puso'y 'yong hinanda sa mga bagay na buhay ang may dala.*
Bata pa lang kami ay pinuno mo na kami ng mga pangaral at mga payo mo na palaging may halong pagmamahal.
Bata pa lamang kami ay pinuno mo na kami ng mga salita na bibitbitin namin hanggang sa aming pagtanda.
Hinanda mo kami sa hirap ng buhay. Sinanay mo kami na maging mas malakas pa. Para nang sa ganoo'y maging handa kami sa mga pagsubok na dala ng buhay at kapalaran.
*Dala ko ang 'yong bawat payo.*
*At hanggang sa dulo, magkalayo man tayo.*
*Ako'y tatayo.*
Lahat nang mga payo mo katulad ng *"huwag na huwag uutang lalo na kung kaya mo namang bayaran kaagad"* at ang walang katapusan na *"mag-aral at mag-sumikap ka ng mabuti para magkaroon ka ng mas magandang buhay."*
Para daw magkaroon AKO ng magandang buhay. Pero, Papa. Pwede ba namang ako lang? S'yempre, kasama kayo. 'Di pwedeng ako lang.
Alam ko iiwan mo din kami. Alam ko darating 'yung araw na aalis ka. 'Yun bang mag-aabroad ka pero wala nang balikan kasi one-way ticket lang 'yung mayroon ka. Ayokong isipin pero iyon ang totoo.
Kaya magkalayo man tayo, bibitbitin ko lahat ng mga payo at salita mo. Kasi sa pamamagitan ng mga iyon ay mas naging malakas, matatag, at mabuting tao ako.
*Pangako, Tatay ko.*
Darating 'yung araw na magkakaroon din tayo ng sarili nating bahay, sarili nating lupa.
Darating 'yung araw na maipapatayo din natin 'yung pangarap mo na bakery na puro sariling timpla mo lang ang susundin sa pagluluto.
Pangako, Tatay. Pangako, Papa ko.
Kaunting hintay na lang.
*Dahil ikaw ang aking paa, sa t'wing ako'y gagapang na.*
Papa, hirap ka man sa paglalakad dahil sa kapansanan mo pero kinaya mo pa din na pangatawanan pa din 'yung responsibilidad mo bilang Haligi ng Tahanan. Hirap ka man na lumakad pero alam na alam ko na handang-handa ka na magsilbi naming mga paa sa oras na kailangan namin.
'Di ba nga binubuhat mo pa si lil sis noon kapag nakakatulog s'ya sa 'di n'ya higaan kahit na ilang taon na s'ya at napakabigat pa?
Alam ko na willing ka pa din na gawin 'to kahit na uugod-ugod ka na at hirap na din na lumakad o tumayo sa sarili mong mga paa.
Kasi mahal mo kami. <3
*Ang dahilan ng aking paghinga.*
Kayo. Kayo ni Mama ang dahilan, Papa. Kasi pinili n'yo na i-keep ako, kami kahit na alam n'yo na 'di magiging madali ang lahat.
*'Di ko na sasayangin pa'ng mga natitirang paghinga.*
Kaya naman, hayaan n'yo ako na ibigay lahat ng mga bagay na deserved ninyo ni Mama. Hayaan n'yo ako kasi gusto ko na mas mapabuti pa tayo, tayong lima. Tayong pamilya.
Hayaan n'yo ako katulad nang kung paano ako nagtiwala sa inyo na i-lead ako. At sana ay hayaan n'yo din ako na pagbawalan kayo sa mga kinakain at iniinom ninyo. Dahil gusto ko lang na mas mapabuti pa kayo lalo na at nagkaka-edad na kayo. Hayaan n'yo ako dahil para sa inyo din ito, Mama at Papa.
*Tutungo na kung sa'n naroon.*
Noong sinabi ko na BS Agriculture ang gusto kong kunin na kurso sa kolehiyo? Wala akong narinig na masamang salita sa inyo. Ni 'di n'yo nga ako pinigilan eh. Ni 'di nga kayo nag-suggest na ibang kurso na lang kuhanin ko. Bakit? Dahil may tiwala kayo sa akin. At higit sa lahat ay dahil handa kayong tulungan at gabayan ako sa kung saan ko man gustong tumungo.
*At kahit na kailan pa ma'y 'di mawawala.*
*Pagka't dala ko ang MaPa*
*Saan man mapunta, alam kung sa'n nagmula.*
Hinahayaan n'yo kami sa mga desisyon namin sa buhay.
Natatandaan n'yo pa ba kung paano n'yo ako hinayaan at pinayagan na magtrabaho sa murang edad? Kahit na ayaw n'yo kasi sabi n'yo ay kaya n'yo pa naman kami na suportahan.
Noong hinayaan n'yo kaming mag-explore at umunlad? Kasi ako? Oo. Tandang-tanda ko pa.
Hinayaan n'yo kami kasi may tiwala kayo sa amin. At alam ninyo na sa inyo kami unang lalapit kapag kailangan namin ng gabay.
Hinayaan n'yo kami kasi dala namin 'yung mga salita at gabay ninyo.
Hinayaan n'yo kami kasi dala namin kayo. Dito, dito sa puso at isip namin.
Dala namin kayo, MA'PA.
*Ma'Pa, pahinga muna.*
*AKO NA.*
Balang araw masasabi ko din na, *"Ma'Pa, pahinga muna kayo." '*Yun bang pwede na kayong 'di magtrabaho at kumayod. 'Yung bang gagawin n'yo na lang ay kumain, matulog, o gawin 'yung mga bagay na gusto n'yo. Nang walang pangamba at alalahanin.
Kasi *"ako naman."*
**AKO NA.**
