Not all DARKNESS brings negativity!
Hey yah!! This is my entry about writing an article regarding darkness of @JonicaBradley which is circulating in the community. I make this one not just to be trendy but I want to challenge myself too. And as she said "enjoy" reading! Xoxo
Let's begin asking you a question.
If we talk about darkness, what is the first thing you feel? Or come to your mind?
If you ask me, my answer is **FEAR** its because I'm afraid in the dark places for the reason that it gives me vibes that many unseen creations will be there and you feel like someone is watching you so you just close your eyes, cover your face with blanket and wait for the light to come back..😅 *(effect of being a horror movie fan*).
And let me share to you what I found when I searched its meaning in the internet:
If you all read the above meanings, you will see its all on a negative aspects even evil/Satan mentioned there. If we speak about darkness we always think it
As a positive thinker *(sometimes ha-ha)*, I just want to think the other sides of darkness, the light within it.
If we analyze and dig deeper, darkness brings also positivity in life, in health and serves its purpose for us able to see the beauty of this world, such as:
●**The Milky Way●**
*As I've read from Spring Air- milky way is made up of* ***90% dark matter,*** *matter that cannot be seen and about 10% “luminous matter”, or matter that we can see with our eyes. This large quantity of* ***dark matter*** *causes an invisible halo that has been demonstrated by simulations of how the Milky Way spins.*
Thus, without darkness there is no so-called "milky way". And we cannot witness the shining, shimmering, twinkling and countless lights in the sky. :)
●**Goodnight’s Sleep**●
Yes**, Darkness** is essential to sleep. And Scientists, have discovered that only when we sleep in **really dark** our body produce the hormone called melatonin. And that Melatonin fights diseases, including breast and prostate cancer*.*
So we can say that darkness have benefits in terms of our health too. Hence, be mindful to use our free resources to take good care of ourselves. Remember, with our current situation ***"Health is Wealth".***
**●Dark Room Photography**●
We all know **Darkrooms** used red lighting to allowed the photographers to control light, so that light-sensitive photographic paper would not become overexposed and ruin the pictures during the developing process.
Darkness saves memories, literally. Through this process on how photograph was made, we can look back what we look like before. And also, these photograph serves as our memory storage of our life event especially to us young at heart (maybe mga Batang 90's 😅). Can you guess, who am I in the photo?
However, as we all know today, digital photography is popular and darkrooms are not as popular or necessary as they once were. Though, we can still find them in professional photo studios and photography schools.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
The above are few examples that I have searched pertaining to the positive/good sides of darkness. So if we look further, there so much more we can discover and turns out to be a beautiful one with darkness. So don't focus only on the outcome just look also outside the box, and we must be aware of the surroundings so that everything you see will be appreciated too, not only the result.
**CONCLUSION:**
I believe in saying that ***every creations exist because it has purpose***. Like this DARKNESS I feared of, but I found out that darkness brings beauty too.
As we, human, we also have darkness inside, maybe it were cause by our past or past relationship, however, we need to turn that darkness past into light..By accepting, letting go and learned from that experienced!

Newbie at Crypto World
Crypto?
Coins?
Bitcoin? BCH?
Noise.cash?
Read.cash?
Questions here, questions there.
I, myself is curious what crypto really is. Some says, its legit and some says, its just a scam. Many news about it when I searched on google *(there's positive and negative)* so I don't know what or who I believe in.
However, one of my friend here @Firenze introduced it to me a long time ago but that time I'm not yet interested or maybe my head is full of many priorities, sorry chingu..ha-ha. I can say that she is my G.I. meaning Good Influence in terms of investing. She shared her passion such us investing *in stock market and cryptocurrencies* but its up to us, if we take it or leave it.
Anyways back to me, I was full of doubt, really, but I want to try something new especially in an ***investment part*** so that I can have an extra income aside from my salary. Because as an employee for more than 10years, sometimes, I came to a point in my life that I will get tired on things I repeatedly do. And of course, I don't like to be an employee only for the rest of my life but I want to feel to be an employer too.☺ And one of my dream is to have my own business, but until today, I don't have yet, because I don't that enough funds for putting up a business *(water refilling station or grocery, hoping!).* That's why, I need to find a part-time job or extra job for I able to earn more money.
Thus, sometimes in April I decided to registered in Noise.Cash and joined there. At first, earning money is my first goal thats why i created my account. But times passed, I literally enjoy there platform because I can post anything, what on my thought without bashing or downgrading my grammar in english..ha-ha. As well as it helps me to improve my writing skills *(coz in a first place, I don't have that talent😅)* in giving captions that I want to post*.* Aside from that, it gives me an opportunity to gain and meeting more friends and they all inspired me especially in taking and editing pictures.
At the same time, I proved to myself also that crypto world truly exist.. It starts in earning my first BCH coins in Noise.cash and now, this is my 3rd articles in Read.cash and I do spot trading too in Binance and MXCPro wherein I meet different kind of cryptocurrencies. *Because, as a newbie, the coins I knew were bitcoin and BCH only and I thought that crypto, bitcoin and BCH are all the same name🤦♀️. Ha-ha*.
Maybe in the future if my heart is ready to take that more risky part, I want to try other trading options like FUTURES.
Speaking of, there some terms I learned for my more than a month in spot trading such as:
****Bull market**** -or bull run, is defined as a period of time where the majority of investors are buying, demand outweighs supply, market confidence is at a high, and prices are rising -coinbase.com
****Bear market**** -are defined as a period of time where supply is greater than demand, confidence is low, and prices are falling -coinbase.com
****Buy Low, Sell High-**** is a strategy where you buy stocks or securities at a low price and sell them at a higher price- investopedia.com
And so on..
Afterward, I enjoyed and got addicted in spot trading especially when the **market got hyped or bull market.** And for that, I invested my own money just to buy some coins and thinking that continuing in doing it, maybe I will become rich. Lol.. Because from my $50 dollars initial fund, my portfolio went up to $200 within a month. It chilled me and gets me more excited to invest more, it was easy money, *(thats what Im thinking),* however...
When the market into **dip or bear market,** my heart not prepared for that. And my initial reaction was, Whaat?? What will I do??.. don't know what to do if I'm going sell my coins Or just HODL until the market back to normal again. However, that dip still dipper until today.. uhuhu.. and my portfolio became red from a green one *(kinda stressed)*. When Im back to my senses and consult to my friend, she advised me that if Im going to sell it, "its a loss for me". So I don't have a choice but to wait patiently for the rise of the market again, we do not know when but praying it will happen soon. 🙏
So based on my personal experienced before we go to a battle make sure that ***you are physically, emotionally and mentally ready on whatever result maybe, if its a loss or gains!***
As of now, I'm still a newbie, struggling, striving and learning on how to survive in this crypto world.

I miss HER
Sorrow? Full of Regrets? What I'm going to do now?? I don't know how to live again?
Those are some questions and worries juggling and mumbling inside my head after hearing a heartbreaking incident happened to our family last 14 October 2013. Seven (7) years have passed but the pain is still the same. And with just a snapped, our lives changed.🥺
**MY REACTION WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE INCIDENT**
So let me start with my story, when I heard about the news from my brother, he only said to me that *"come home, there something happened to our Mother"*. He did not say anything but my tears starts to flow because my heart feels what is the real situation about my Mother, even if not confirmed yet.
But still, deep down my heart I'm just praying that the meaning of "something happened" is just a minor injury and she need to go to hospital for some treatment. *(that's what I put in my mind just to ease my feelings)*.
But when I came home, I saw my Mother lying, not breathing at all and no life. That moment, I wish that it was only a nightmare and someone will wake me up, tapped me and will say to me that everything is alright and its just a bad dreamed. But tired of waiting and no one came, thus......
However, the reality hit me but I'm still into **"denial" because its too hard to accept that we have loss our beloved Mother**. Our "ilaw ng tahanan", our bestfriend, our source of strength, a selfless and best Mother is already gone.
***MOTHER-ILAW NG TAHANAN***
***"Mothers are often called “ilaw ng tahanan,” meaning the light who brings warmth and comfort to her family by taking good care of them, putting her family first before herself, and protecting them the best she can as an ultimate sacrifice a mother could give to her child."-Philippine Digest Best Pinoy Portal in Japan***
All of the above characters of being a Mother are descriptions of my Mother. That's why, why of all people why my Mother?? :(
**REGRETS**
I do alot of questions hanging on my mind but right at that moment, **my heart was full of regrets**. Its because I did not gave my **100%,** the love, sacrifices *(but knowing her, she did not want the material things)* and did not say **SORRY** for all the things that I have done wrong/said.
So many what if's and regrets but I don't have any choice but to accept the truth. :( The truth that I can't be with my Mother anymore.
**LESSON LEARNED**
I was so broke superb, but it made me realized that if you love someone show them and made them feels special everyday because we never know how long that person will be in our life..
Thus, find time to be with them because for me, ****TIME**** is one of the precious gift we can give to our loveones. **And if you are with them, make the most out of it so that you will not have any regrets later on**.
**HOW I FIXED MY BROKENNESS**
***LEAN TO GOD and His promises*****-** some of my fave verses that helped me to be still in the midst of my chaotic world:
*"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28;*
*For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11*
And it made me fully understand that we need to trust His process, sometimes its difficult but in the end we will know that his plan is the best for us.
***SURROUND YOURSELF WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS -*** having a strong support with our family and friends will also help us in healing our brokenness.
You will see that you are not alone in fighting your battle. You have them, willing and ready to fight for you in order to heal your broken heart.
***THINK POSITIVELY*** - Don't let yourself focused on negative things, instead look at the brighter side why it is happened.
Because if we think positively, every perspective in our life including losing someone that we love, it helps us to accept with whole heartedly that everything happened for a reason. *(We might not understand now, but soon we will)*
***And here we are... We might not whole physically but in our hearts, our Mother "Nanay Lita" will always remain, for the rest of our lives.***
Independence Day Self!
Before anything else, I want to introduce myself to you readers..
Hello! Annyeong! Kumusta!
I'm Jhenna Tamayo, an introvert one but sometimes I love to social with others (but mostly I prefer to be with person/s I'm closed with or to be alone). Im not that showy person, not that talkative much, can't express myself well and can't explain what is on my mind (most of the time).
Yah, that's me, I admitted that I have low self esteem, maybe because I got many insecurities in my physical appearance and it got worsen when I got so many pimps, acne on my face.. For that, I don't know how to make an eye contact with the person I'm talking with because in my mind, instead of looking at me, he/she might look how bad my pimps were. And it came to the point, that I dont want to see myself in the mirror and taking a selfie. Huhuhu!! That's why I used many cosmetics **just to covered it, to hide it.**
And when the COVID-19 striked in our country and facemask is required to use, my pimps/acnes got irritated even more and even spread on my chin as well. Though facemask **covered** them but everytime I took it off, it revealed the real conditions of my face. And got me stressed on what they look and in Filipino language you will say it in your face, "taghiyawat na tinubuan ng mukha".
I know my problem is too shallow (mababaw), but sorry, I can't just ignore it especially when other people might say to you, "ganda mo sana pero ang dami mo lang pimples", "kung ano ano kasi ginagamit mo kaya nagkaganyan mukha mo" and so on. If I only knew what is the cause of my pimps/acne and how to get rid of them, I just do it.. But mostly of the remedies (literally) I already done that but nothing works. Money, efforts and my self confidence have gone but still my "BFF" is not leaving at me. Sabi nga nila, iniwan ka na ng lahat pero yung mga tigidig mo sa mukha andyan pa din, ang tatag! (Sana lahat ng relasyon ganun!haha).
**On a serious note, hoping these people have a consideration toward the feelings of others**, especially to those people who experiencing depression because of their insecurities. A little understanding is all we need because maybe we smiling at you on what you have said but deep inside it hurts us emotionally and it affected us, alot. (Huh)
Thus, always **think before we speak** in order not to hurt others. Always put your shoe before opening your mouth or saying something to other people. Instead of mocking at us, why don't you **help us, give** **us moral support and encourage us to uplift our self-confidence**. :D
However, **TODAY**, I will not let my insecurities and other people eat my confidence and dictate my life. I will **FREE MYSELF** to any distractions, negativity and **focus on myself being, my friends, family and to GOD who truly loves me**.
And it taught and made me realized that accepting who you are, what you are and forgiving yourself and loving yourself are the best rewards you will give to yourself. **It will start in YOU not to other people.**
I know it is easy to say but it is hard to do. But I believe, with the help of our Lord GOD, I can do it and you can do it too. Even it takes too long to achieve that but the most important here is you are in a good direction.. to be a **BETTER or MAYBE the BEST VERSION OF YOU!**
Let me share with you one of my motto in life**: "YOU EXIST** **BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PURPOSE".** So don't stress yourself too much, don't mind what they say to you, just mind your purpose. We do not live to please them but we only live to serve GOD.
So **FREE YOURSELF**, stand out, be who you are.. be real, be you and be unique.. and don't be dismayed, always think that we are beautiful cause **"we are fearfully and wonderfully made by GOD -Psalm 139:16**"
