Hello November, what are you up to? November 2, 2o21 How are you, dear read friends? First and foremost, thank you to my sponsors (old and new) for still staying with me. And to my 70 subscribers, wow, 70! I never thought I could touch the hearts of 70 amazing souls. I do hope I can entertain all of you as much as I can. Fingers crossed. I am not sure if I have a goal for this month, the thought of having it is actually stressing me out. I feel too pressured. I think I'd…
Home is where the great food is! November 3, 2021 “To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location, and the company as it is about the taste.” – ***Heston Blumenthal*** Hello, my read friends. I just saw it on noise that a "kabisdak" was about to sleep when she heard her neighbour calling her because they are going to give her a birthday cake. Her neighbor's daughter just turned 5. It's what I love about living in the province: people are generous,…
My favorite Computer Science subjects in college! November 4, 2021 G'day, mate! We all have favorites on almost anything: from our favorite quote to a favorite color or part of the day, favorite pet, etc. It makes us feel warm, excited, happy, giddy, ecstatic, and any other positive emotions. It pushes us to go for milestones, to become the best version of ourselves. Today am gonna talk about my favorite subjects in my college course: Computer Science. They were difficult…
My bucket list of adventures before I die or get too old! November 5, 2021 G'day mate! We all have a list of desires or dreams that we wanna achieve, have or experience before either we grow old or die. I believe we only have one lifetime, though we reincarnate (I believe we do because I did like I think 53 times already) each life is unique and we have to make the most of it. The very first on my adventure on my list is **skydive**. I wanna experience the euphoria of…
What I wanna do for myself after getting my second jab! November 6, 2021 It's the first Friday of the week. How are ya doin' mates? Has the weather been kind to you? I wonder what happened to my week lol. It went by with just a blink of an eye. I am excited to get my second jab on the 15th and I just wish there won't be any side effects anymore. The headache and fever were not fun at all. Since I went to the mall last October and got disappointed with KFC, here is my revenge…
These different personalities inspire me! November 7, 2021 G'day mate! Do you have someone whom you look up to or inspire you? I do. Aside from the inspirations I get from my family, close friends, teachers, and friends here in read, I have a list of people from different backgrounds who inspire me on what I wanna do and what I wanna become. Here they are: **Li ZiQi**-She is a 31 years old woman who was raised by her grandparents because her parents were separated. She used…
Who are you? Acrostic version. November 8, 2021 Happy Sunday my dear lodi friends! I hope you spent the day with your family or loved ones. I made a composition today, inspired by you, my friends. I have seen several people doing it so I challenged myself. Why not? Let's do something different this time and I hope you'll like it. So... Who are you? **G**od-given, a blessing from the Lord above. So don't you ever think that your life doesn't matter because your parents do not…
I received a notification about a sponsorshop renewal...It made my day! Thank you my friend, Eliana @CoquiCoin..I am honored to be still on your list.
Wow, she renewed her sponsorship. I feel grateful sis @yhanne!
Remembering Yolanda... November 9, 2021 How is your Tuesday read friends? My Monday was quite a manic one. The eldest daughter had the stomach flu and it was my fault because I gave her ice cream when she's too hungry. It got upset and made her sick, been vomiting most of the time. Thank goodness she is better now. 8 years ago on November 8, a category 5 typhoon struck the Philippines and devastated the Visayas region. The most affected part was Leyte. More than 10,000…
Another sponsorship renewal, thank you po @FarmGirl..It is one of the best blessings today sis!
I am slowly taking my voice back! November 10, 2021 G'day mate! The weather's gonna be cold in the next few days, Amihan is coming. And I do hope that the forecast was right because I will be sad if it's not. The weather doesn't have to do anything with my article, I am just bad at introductions, you know. It feels awkward, eekkkk..Forgive me, dearie. And I hope this one's gonna live an imprint on your soul if you've been in the same situation as mine. It has been so long…
I cannot contain my happiness, thank you sis @Bloghound!
I cannot contain my happiness, thank you sis @Bloghound!
Would you do the same? A true love's tale and test. November 11, 2021 Drizzle used to be an assassin, the best in her group. One day, they were tasked to steal a monk's remains which are believed to be powerful enough to regenerate a part of a body. The prime minister had it so they stole the body and killed him. His son, Renfeng fought so hard to save his father but he was no match against her. She left him barely hanging for his life, went MIA along with half part of the…
Tuob- a traditional healing method that saved my daughter! November 12, 2021 11.11 has passed, I wasn't "budolized" by either Shopee or Lazada because my kids already did. Hopefully, your budol went well, my lodi friends. Last Monday, my family and I went out for a walk. I got a little bit of a headache and the weather was perfect so I thought it'd be a good time to take a break. I bought some goodies for everyone, Bam said, "Mommy I'm hungry!". So I gave her ice cream, my…
Thank you so much to my newest sponsor, my dear cousin @Lucifer01. May the Heavens grant your deepest and greatest desires!
I am rich now but please don't tell my family! November 13, 2021 And the last number is...21...I could hear the beating of my heart, it's so fast and deafening. I read the numbers, again and again, they were all correct. I wanna shout! But I can't, they will figure out why. I shall not create a scene, I got this... I am fainting, nooo! So I slowly breathe in and breathe out, trying to relax my mind and my body. Everyone's asleep. I gotta plan what to do for tomorrow. I woke…
Power to the single moms! For November 14, 2021 Howdy mates? Forgive the Marites in me. On November 11, Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay got married. Derek used to be a certified playboy, and Ellen, a single mom with a 2-year-old son. They tied the knot a few months after their relationship. Who would have guessed their wedding happened that fast? Who would have known that the fabulous single mom caught that crazy playboy's heart? I remember the times when moms were mocked…
Nakita ko sa notif ko sis MJ @bmjc98..Thank you dahil nasa list po pa rin ako. May you have more BCH to come and to the rest of my sponsors, maraming salamat din po!
Don't stop learning! November 15, 2021 G'day mate! It's Monday, the 15th, and I'm gonna have my second jab later today. I hope it's gonna be a good jab! We had fun outside the house the other day. The 3 kids had their adventures again. Bam and Cassie were practicing their bikes and Saoirse was learning how to walk. It wasn't easy for these kids to learn their crafts but they weren't disheartened after all the exhaustions and frustrations-they kept on going, consistently. We…
I would like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH to sis @charmingcherry08 for always upvoting my articles. I really appreciate it! May you be blessed!
Respect to our hero volunteers! November 16, 2021 I was in the Amparo Rotonda Covered Court yesterday morning for my second vaccine and I noticed several volunteers who are helping the health workers to make the vaccination faster and less hassle. And I couldn't help but admire them for their effort and dedication. Here are the types of volunteers that we have in the country: **Volunteer doctors and nurses**- Who knew we have an ailing health system until this pandemic…
If I were a Miss Universe contestant! November 17, 2021 My very first dream as a child was to become a beauty titlist. I am pretty sure I've watched a pageant that's why it was embedded in my innocent mind. Growing up, I realized that I don't have the face and the body to become one. I don't have a Coca-cola body, maybe the liter version but not the regular Coca-cola bottle lol. Maybe that was the reason why I got obsessed with my pretty neighbors-because I was wishing I…
My pregnancy-inspired homemade dip! G'day mate! Since we didn't have Internet for almost 24 hours, I decided to publish this bonus article. Consider this my bed revenge procrastination story lol. When I was pregnant with Saoirse last 2019, I was craving for shawarma maybe because it has a variety of flavors. But I didn't have the money at that time to buy one so I was inspired to make my own. I really wanted to go Mediterranean most of my pregnancy period. Aside from…
Maraming salamat po for renewing your sponsorship sir Ed @TengoLoTodo..It made my day. Bless you and the rest of my sponsors!
Powerful, positive affirmations that you can tell yourself everyday! November 19, 2021 G'day mate! Life is beautiful and full of surprises, yes or yes? But sometimes it's all not positive, true? It's natural to feel melancholy, sorrow, sadness, unhappiness, and all that but we got to pull ourselves up. Life is too precious to be wasted on wallowing in all these negative emotions. It may seem difficult to do so but it is not impossible to stand on our feet again. But how…
My funny experiences with Lazada and eBay! November 20, 2021 G'day mate! I was scrolling through my Fb account when my eye caught one of Lazada's items on sale. Would you believe that it was "**Tikbalang's**" hairs? A **tikbalang** is an elemental in Filipino superstitions, a half-horse half-human being. It is Werehorse in English. As per Lazada, the **tikbalang's** hairs move and could grant wishes. It's only for Php 91 per bottle. How can it be that cheap when it can make…
I miss working! November 21, 2021 G'day mate! I was putting my baby back to sleep last night when I suddenly miss working. Yes, I miss going to the office! I resigned from Telus last January 2018, if I am not mistaken. So it has been almost 3 years that I am stuck at home. I worked as a VA for 8 months though but it was a working from home job. I want to work somewhere for a change. I usually choose to work somewhere near where I live so if ever I'll be part of the workforce…
Whoa, are we still okay, my friends? Just a short post. I was trying to write an article to thank my 80 subscribers. Yes, 80 now! Because my following didn't grow that much previously unlike now and I noticed that we only have 3 communities that are still active? Am I right? Or are the rest of the channels active but the moderators aren't? I just wanna know that we are not sinking. Captain, oh, my captain! Despite my concern, I salute my fellow Filipinos for being active…
The deeper meaning of the rainbow and the pot of gold. November 22, 2021 If you happen to remember the ark of Noah. When God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights, flooded the Earth, and killed all creations except for those who were inside the ark? God made a promise to not do it again. He told Noah to look at the sky and look at the rainbow to remind him of God's promise. And God kept it. Despite the massive floodings on the Earth, most of us are still alive. My kid asked…
Me through the years! November 23, 2021 I wanted to do the "How hard did life hit you challenge"- a trending challenge based on Facebook but I decided to use a different title. Warning: There will be lots of selfies, my friends, so beware. And each photo speaks a thousand words (I couldn't write a thousand though because it will take me a while) because I have gone through different phases of my life on each one. Some were sad, some were happy. Let's start. **The dreamer**…
Nothing serious for today, seriously! November 24, 2021 G'day mate! We are almost at the end of the month my friends and I believe November is being kind to me. I will tell you later. I went out today for some errands. My eldest's modules were already available so I went to her school, for the first time in almost 2 years, and got her modules. Gosh, I almost lost myself finding the highway! I was so silly. My presence of mind saved me. And I was waiting for the jeepney but…
What my future house should have! November 25, 2021 G'day, mate! I was looking at our room, man, it badly needs some renovation. We tried to have the leaks repaired but it still does and I know something hasn't been right since it was built including the electrical wirings. It made me wish for better days where we can finally have the whole house repaired. Are you familiar with the Kramer family? It is probably one of the best houses in the Philippines that I've ever seen…
What matters to you might be taken away in seconds...Beware! November 26, 2021 I was trying to log in to my Morpher account last night to check my portfolio and I noticed how slow it was so I decided to clear my browsing history. I chose the 7 days period. I knew it would resolve the lag. I forgot that it will log me off on all the websites I always visit including read. And I noticed that I had to log in again and my seed phrase was deleted from the browser. I checked my…
My mother's dream, my sacrifice. I stared at myself, "You're a goddess Aurora! Now, why won't you do something about it?", I was talking to that pretty girl in front of the mirror. Oh, was it me? Yeah me. When suddenly, "I am tired of being poor!", my mother cried while she's looking at our ripe fruits which we either have to sell right away or give to our neighbor's pigs. I was inside our little storage room, preparing to go to school while listening to her complaint. I…
Happy Thanksgiving Day to all our friends in the US of A! I miss having this day as my day off when I used to work lol. Now I have all the day off that I want. May this day be a reminder for us to be thankful for what we have and at the same time, a push for us to aim for the dreams that we have in life. Cheers mates!
I am out of control! "Let go of my dede (breast )and just sleep", I commanded my infant while she's asleep sucking my left breast. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...Ahhh freedom, she finally released it. I have been doing this mental telepathy thing since time immemorial. Funny when I could feel people's emotions and access their minds at the same time. I am afraid, having these abilities could be dangerous. That's why I am trying not to meditate. Because the higher my frequency, the…
My kids, my ultimate source of happiness! "Mommy, why is the phone number like that? Is it supposed to be 87000?", Bam innocently asked. "No it's Jollibee's phone number, different companies have different phone numbers, anak", I explained. Then I heard a loud sound...Beep beep beep totototototot! And I suspiciously asked my daughter"Bam, what are you doing?", She answered, "I am trying to order a Blackforest cake!". She's been dying to taste it for days. My goodness, I am…
How I manage my time being a full-time mom and a writer here on read. The struggle is real, isn't it? Who here stays longer at night just to be online here on read and noise? Raise your hands. Those who are only free when the babies are asleep or with their daddies and nannies? Say, amen. Amen! Since I became active here on read again, I've been through a lot of challenges. Sometimes I'd be annoyed when my kid cries upon finding out I am not beside her when she's teething,…
When you were given more than what you've asked for! I hope you are well mates! I am very happy to tell you that I have earned more than $100 for this month. This is the second time, the first $100 happened more than a year ago. And I am not sure how much I have tipped but I finally experienced having that diamond beside my username lol. It is grey and I know it means something. Another achievement for me! (I did wish I will have that badge someday) Thank you read, I mean…
Rusty is having an affair again :(
