Haunted Hound: Spooky Prompt Questions
Article #37 April 6, 2022
What are you doing right now, everyone? Have you seen the popular kdrama Business Proposal? I started watching it immediately soon as I heard it was completed. I'm on episode 3 right now, and since there are 12 episodes, I could finish it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You should watch it as well.
I've been reading articles incessantly since this morning, yet there's still a lot I've missed. I apologize for not visiting yours today, but I will definitely do so tomorrow. Most of what I've read is about scary questions that aren't typical, I guess? Haha. I enjoy watching horror, thriller, and mystery movies when I am with someone or with friends; I will not watch them if I am alone. Haha. I started with sis @Ruffa 's article, then sis @Pachuchay article, and eventually sis @Sequoia article. They all got the questions from sis @Usagi and sis @Tamia was the first to answered it. As you can see, many of them have already answered, and I honestly believe I am now late.
So let's start.
**If you were given the death penalty, what would your last meal be?**
Now I'm wondering why I have the death penalty. Charet. Haha. My final supper will consist of my favorite meals such as chopsuey, several varieties of adobo, Jollibee fried chicken, Shanghai, and many more. I'll also include steak because I've never tried it before and it'd be wonderful to do so before they sentence me to death.
`Plugging my generous sponsors. Hihi.`
**Have you ever seen a fresh corpse?**
Yes, I've already witnessed two corpses. As you know, my father died at our house at the time, and it was still vivid in my mind what he looked like previously. It's not at all frightening since it's my father.
The second is a neighbor's relative. Despite the fact that we had a huge age gap because she was in her 40s and I was only 13 at the time, she was my friend. I recall her having me massage her back because it hurt, and she used to tell me that it felt like her heart was on blaze. On the morning of December 26th, we're still talking about it. I went to their house that night because our neighbor's house is just around 100 meters away, if I'm not mistaken. My cousin screamed that night, and we raced to my friend's room, where we discovered her dead but her eyes wide open..
They resurrected her, but nothing worked, and you know how scared I am. Because of my distress at seeing her face with wide eyes but lifeless, I didn't go to their house for years. I even touched her foot that time, and it was chilly. That was a really unpleasant experience.
**How often do you think about death?**
The majority of the time. There were only a few days when I didn't think about dying. I am terrified of death since I am aware that I make errors or commit sins from once in a while. I'm not saying I'm a nasty person, but I'm also not a saintly person. I occasionally lie, which is why I'm concerned that if I die right now, I won't have asked the Lord for forgiveness.
**Would you spend a full night inside of a haunted house if someone paid you?**
Yes, absolutely, as long as the prize is worthwhile. My fear factor varies depending on the circumstances. If there is no reward, I would claim I am terrified to sleep in that haunted home, but if there are prizes, it is a different thing altogether. *Opo mukhang pera po tayo. Haha.*
Do you have a hunch about the way that you will die?
Because I am frightened of death, I have no intuition about how I will die soon. But, if you ask me how I will die, I believe it will be an instantaneous death. I don't want to die in excruciating pain. I also have a strong suspicion that I will die in a catastrophe. *Pero huwag naman sana ngayon, gusto ko pa mabuhay ng matagal. Hahaha.*
Would you sleep inside of a coffin for a night?
Noooo! Hahaha. I wouldn't do it because I'm scared I wouldn't be able to leave the following morning. My aunt operates a funeral service, and some of their employees, including my brother and cousins, made a somewhat bizarre joke about going to the coffin. My sense of humour isn't high enough to put it to the test. Haha.
Conclusion
Thank you for taking the time to read it. If you are not too busy, it would be wonderful if you could answer as well. It's a lot of fun to respond. Hahaha. God bless all of you.
What Would You Do With 10 Million Dollars?
Article #36 April 6, 2022
Hello there, guys! How are you doing right now? I hope we are all having a good time and not experiencing any difficulties. It is natural to have problems, but I hope you are able to overcome them. You can do it!
Congratulations on reaching 500 views on read.cash. I was overjoyed when I got this notification here; it appears that in my first month here, I had already accumulated 500 views on my articles. How wonderful our Lord is, isn't he? This type of notification motivates me to write more.
Today's blog will once again answer prompt questions. In this platform, no one can compete with the power of a prompt question. Hahaha. Aside from that, prompt questions allow our minds to be more productive rather than wracking our brains for hours and coming up with nothing.
I obtained the questions from Google, and there are 80 of them. You can also respond to portions of it as your article for a specific day. The random questions may be found by clicking here. https://www.brightful.me/blog/random-questions-to-ask-start-a-conversation/
1. If You Had Three Wishes, What Would You Wish For?
**My first wish is to be wealthy**, not extravagantly wealthy, but wealthy enough to allow me and my family to live at home without having to work. Simply get along and be happy, which is something we don't do very often. **The second wish is that the corona virus would be eradicated** not just in the Philippines, where I currently reside, but across the entire universe. We've had enough of pandemics, and it's time to put a stop to it. **My third and last dream is for a cure for all human diseases and illnesses.** I'd like to live them for a longer period of time, especially when they're young. They are deserving of seeing the world's splendor.
2. What Would You Rather Throw Away: Love Or Money?
I agree that money is necessary nowadays, but I would rather throw it away than love. Money is difficult to earn, but it can be done, but love cannot. I don't think you can get love back if you toss it away. Love is priceless; there is no price for sincere love.
`Thank you, my dear sponsors, for sticking with me; I pray that God gives you more power to create more informative articles.`
3. Would You Rather Have 10 Hobbies Or One Passion?
I'd rather have 10 hobbies than one passion. You'll understand why I chose 10 hobbies if you know me that well. Crocheting, stitching, sewing, reading, watching, writing, and a variety of other hobbies are among my favorite pastimes. If I say I have one passion, that is what I will do for the rest of my life since that is what I love to do all the time, but I am not the sort of person who can do one thing all the time. I have a diverse set of hobbies that I will eventually tire of and replace with others. I prefer learning new things.
4. What Would You Do With 10 Million Dollars?
That's a great deal of money. I wish I had that type of cash, haha. If I had 10 million dollars, I will purchase a house and a lot and live there with my family. Not only will I purchase a house for myself, but I will also buy one for each of my siblings. I plan to start a lot of enterprises in order to earn profits rather than merely spend it. My spare cash will be invested in BCH and other cryptocurrency tokens. Who would fail to remember to offer tithes to the Lord? I will contribute my tithes, which are 10% of my money. I will also give to many charity for toddlers, children, people with disabilities, and senior citizens. 10 million dollars is a large sum of money, and you may spend it on many things, not just for yourself, but also for others in need.
5. Do You Care About Reviews?
Yes of course. Whatever it is, I will get into reviews. We may depend on reviews while purchasing or selecting items. As an internet shopper, I will not purchase items with a high number of negative reviews. It is evidence that the merchant is unresponsive and impolite, or that their items are defective and damaged. In life, reviews symbolize how others perceive you. If you believe you are a true inspiration, someone will express their ideas on how terrific you are and how much they admire you. Whatever others say about you, keep yourself in mind. Do not return to them and hurt them further; instead, pray and God will take care of everything.
Closing Thoughts
That's all for now, folks. Thank you for your time. I hope you are in good health. After I finish this, I'm going to bed. Today has been a productive day for me because I spent time outside with my buddies. It is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity, so I seize it, and happily, I was in the mood to go outside a while ago. Hihi.
Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?
Article #35 April 5, 2022
April is my birth month, thus one of these days will be my birthday. Can you guess when my birthday is? If you guessed correctly, you are invited to my birthday celebration. Just kidding, everyone is invited, especially my read.cash and noise.cash folks. Aside from it though, can you tell me when my birthday is in the month of April? I just want to see whether you're good at guessing. Haha.
I have read more than 10 articles, thus I have accomplished my aim, and now it is time for me to write since I have new motives. I told to my partner I was going to sleep, but rather I'm writing an article. I just discovered that it is okay to write two articles in a day as long as your pieces are all unique and you created them. In my instance, I am just like this, always discussing on social media. Previously, I was really *madaldal* on other sites such as Facebook and Instagram, but now I will be *daldal* on places where you can make BCH. The only difference is that other platforms had both positive and negative vibes, but in read.cash and noise.cash exclusively has positive vibes, which is beneficial to our mental health.
Let's discuss about interview
When you have an interview, whatever interview, you are always asked questions such as **"tell me about yourself", "what are your strengths", "what are your weaknesses"** and **"what is your vision 5 years from now or 10 years from now".** Interviews are one of the most difficult times in my life, and they are also also one of my weaknesses. If there is a way to avoid it, I will. For me, answering a short quiz from that employer or a brief demo or application to the industry I'm applying in to test my capabilities is preferable than interviewing. But I'm not in a position to dictate what they'll be based on. After all, I'm the applicant, and they're the boss. Haha. I'm not against it or anything; I simply want to say that I get nervous when I have an interview. Haha.
**Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?**
Aside from the first question, **"Tell me about yourself",** the question **"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"** is always featured in the interview. Today I'm going to answer this one, not for an interview or anything, but because I want to visualize and envisage myself in 5 years. I suppose it's not a problem to envision our own future and work hard to make it a reality, right?
**Build a house**
In five years, I envision myself enjoying my ideal uncomplicated existence. I'm accumulating money to build a little house on my mother's side of the family in the province. This is why I work all hours of the day and night simply to save a little money every day. I'm not looking for large and glamorous, that's just a pipe dream for me, but what I want to do in the next five years is build a little house. In fact, I'm currently deciding what materials to use, and my sister advised me that it would be lot easier if I began purchasing other materials. However, I told her that there is no assurance that it will not be damaged while being stored. My budget is 50,000 PHP or 1000 USD or less, and I will not spend more than that. Haha.
**Lots of Client in our agency**
My cousin and I are establishing an agency where we can seek clients to work with. My vision is that we have a large number of clients that believe in us. I know it's tough to get trust, especially when you're new, but during the last five years, we've learned a lot and experienced a lot of challenges, and it will be our inspiration and drive to find a client and present our portfolio and capabilities. Being a social media manager is simple once you've done it a few times, but finding a client might be challenging.
**Still a read.casher and noise.casher**
Without a doubt! In 5 years, I definitely envision myself at read.cash and noise.cash. Nobody can restrict me from writing articles and short blogs. If these two were still alive at the time, I would be as well. I will not pass up this opportunity to make new friends and improve my communication and writing skills.
**Still Learning/Reading**
I picture myself continually learning new things in 5 years. Being successful entails making reading a habit. Nobody is going to argue with me when I claim that learning lasts a lifetime. Even if you read for the rest of your life, there will be many things you do not know, therefore whether you are an adult or an elderly person, successful or retired, working or not, you should read and read. I know that if I stay where I am for a long time, I will have a great deal of information and experience from years in the future. I enjoy learning new things, especially when they are related to my interests.
Closing Remarks
That's all I've got for now, folks. I hope you like reading it and thank you for taking the time to read till the finish. In your perspective, where do you see yourself in 5 years? I can see that we will all have a better and nicer life in the next five years. Let us all hope that we can attain our goals and be content with whatever achievement we acquire as the years pass.
Carbs Might Be My Soulmate
Article #34 April 4, 2022
This is a continuation of my previous article on food-related topics. I noticed a Tiktok video that said we should spend our money on other things rather than on food, but we shouldn't limit ourselves to food because it is the source of our energy. Foods provide me with a great deal of satisfaction. I used to eat alone because I didn't have many friends back then when I was in Manila and we occasionally had different schedules. I always have it at Jollibee or Mcdo since those are the only fast food restaurants that satisfy me. But when I am with my only friend , though, I always suggest going to a fast food restaurant to test new foods.
10 Food Related Questions
**How often do you eat fruit?**
I'm not a huge lover of fruits. Certain fruits appeal to me, while others do not. I'm also a slacker when it comes to eating, especially when you have to peel them off before eating. But if it's a banana, I eat a lot of them, and bananas are not really in our house because they run out so quickly. Hahaha.
`Flexing my sponsors, Thank you po.`
**What food do you hate?**
I despise exotic foods. I'm not sure why, but I'm terrified by their look. Have you ever watched Solenn eat a tarantula on Survivor Philippines? I'm not sure whether she ate tarantula previously, but they were moving as in alive when you were going to eat. Yay! I'm not against individuals who eat exotic stuff, but whatever you do to make me eat it, I'm not going to eat it. Just thinking about it causes me to err.
**Have you ever ordered food in a foreign language?**
No, I have not yet since I haven't visited another country. When I worked at WMall near MOA, all of our customers were Chinese. When they order, they just point to the item on the menu that they wish to get; the menu has also been translated into Chinese. And when it comes time to inform them the entire amount of their orders, we simply hand them the calculator with the sum on it.
**What was the last meal you cooked?**
I'm currently preparing fried chicken and rice for our meal. My nephew suggested that my sister buy fried chicken, but because we are on a limited budget, she bought raw chicken at the market in the morning and I cooked it when she got home. I just used breading mix with a little salt and pepper and was ready to fry. It's scrumptious!
**Have you ever had breakfast in bed?**
Yes, all the time, because I have my own study table in my room. Actually, my room is quite little, with only my bedroom and a limited amount of space for my other belongings. So when I eat, I'll just set up my table in my bedroom and eat while watching YouTube vlogs.
**How much can you eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet?**
If you had told me ahead of time that we were going to dine at an all-you-can-eat buffet, I'm sure I could eat more and more. My method is to avoid eating anything heavy in the tummy and instead to consume light yet delightful foods. Also, don't drink too much water or other beverages there.
**What is the most expensive meal you have ever eaten?**
When I ate at Alimall Cubao's Korean Restaurant. My cousins, not I, have spent a lot of money. He treated us and our two other cousins together. We eat unli samgyeopsal for 10 USD or 499 PHP per person, not including the other drinks we purchased. We ordered soju, which was exorbitantly priced! Yes, it is the most expensive dish I've ever eaten in my life. Looking for a lot more. Haha.
**What dessert do you love to eat?**
I don't typically have a favorite dessert because we don't eat it at home, but I might enjoy it if it was fruit salad or ice cream. I adore ice cream, especially vanilla or matcha flavors.
**Do you like to drink hot drinks?**
Of course, yes. I enjoy coffee, especially when it is hot. I'm not a big fan of iced coffee. For me, nothing beats the fragrance of freshly brewed coffee. Every day, I consume three cups of coffee. Parang meal lang na 3 times a day noh? Haha.
**If you could only eat one thing for a year, what would it be?**
It's difficult to make a choice. But lemme think a little bit. Chopsuey is my first choice. As I mentioned earlier, my favorite dish is chopsuey, which I could eat for a year. If you think magsasawa ako? No, I would absolutely prepare them differently. When it came to chopsuey, there were several recipes to choose from.
Closing Thought
Thank you for your interest in my essay. What are your thoughts on this? Please let me know in the comment sections. I have chose to set my time for publishing on my daily blog so that my time is not cluttered. I'm contemplating whether to schedule it during the day or at night. When do you think is the ideal time?
A Friend's Wedding
Article #33 April 3, 2022
My friend just married. I just wanted to express how I felt about her wedding. I am really delighted for her since she has met the one who will be with her for the rest of her life. They'd been together for a long time, if I'm not inaccurate, for 6 years, and now they're marrying to make new memories as husband and wife. I am overjoyed for her since I am also hoping for a wedding. Every woman's dream, I believe, is to marry the man she loves the most.
What disappoints me is that I am not invited. I'm also unaware that her wedding date is April 2. I first found out about it after I saw one of my friends' stories on Facebook about her being an *Abay*, I assume. I'm in a great deal of pain right now since she didn't tell me about it. I'm not furious at her or anything; I simply felt a hurt in my chest knowing that some of my friends were present and I was unaware of it.
When my friend who was an *abay* asked whether she informed me about her wedding, her answer was no, and my response was, "Is she hesitant to tell me about her wedding? Since there is nothing wrong to be embarrassed of, and in fact I envy her because it is my dream." I've been saddened up until now, which is why I decided to write in order to alleviate my chest agony.
Is it okay for me to have these feelings? Is it possible that I'm exaggerating? I am overjoyed for her and congratulated her as soon as I heard about the wedding. There has been no response as of yet, maybe because she is sleeping. I hope her husband treats her more than she deserves because my friend is such a wonderful and modest young lady.
I'll elaborate why she might not have invited me. Probably because she was too hesitant to share it with anybody, only those close to her were told and invited, and tragically, I am not one of them. Another factor is that our last conversation was at least a year ago. It's not because I don't want to talk to anybody before; in fact, I stopped communicating with my friends a few years ago. When the outbreak began, I was suffering from anxiety; I'm not sure if it was anxiety or anything else, but I detoxed from my friends and the online world, and my only friend at the time was myself. Maybe she thought I didn't want to be friends with her anymore.
One of the things that bothers me right now is that I'm wondering whether I'm not worth becoming friends with. I'm not sure if I'm courteous to them or callous. I'm in tremendous agony right now, and I'm not lying or exaggerating.
Back in high school, I told her that we should all be invited to their wedding because they were dating at the time. We were simply kidding about it before, but when it happened, I was no longer invited. Isn't it a bittersweet twist at the end? Tara shot puno! Hahaha.
*Grabe talaga. Hindi ko matanggap bakit di ako nainform. Hindi ko matanong baka lalo naman ako masaktan kapag sinabing bakit need ko umattend parang ganon. Ang sakit sa loob ko, special day niya kasi yon eh. Gusto ko din naman nandon ako or nainform ako kasi sabihin na nating di ako ang bestfriend, di din ako close friend pero friend pa din ako. Nakakaiyak! Ito na yata first heartbreak ko ngayong taon.*
Closing Thoughts
Thank you for taking the time to read my quick rants for the hour. I'm really heartbroken by what I found. I hope everything is going well for you.
**Update:** Her response to my message in which I congratulated her and asked why she did not invite me was that she is too shy to inform people about her wedding. I appreciate and support her decision not to notify others. I'm still sad about it, but it's all better today than it was yesterday.
Please refrain from making disparaging remarks about her, since she is still a friend of mine. I only keep my anguish on my chest and share it with you. I have no plans to let you criticize her. This is a congratulatory article with a few rants thrown in for good measure. Hihi. Blessings to each and every one of you.
K-Drama That You Should Watch
Article #32 April 2, 2022
When the pandemic began two years ago, all I did was stay in my comfort zone while watching Kdrama. Today I'm going to show you almost all of my favorite Kdrama series that you should watch as well. It's going to be a long post, so let's finish the introduction and get to the meat of the matter. Let's get started!
Don't worry, I'm not going to reveal how the conclusion was achieved. If you watch it, you will find out if it has a happy or sad conclusion. I'll just tell you some scenes or circumstances, as well as my reasoning for watching it.
Crash Landing On You
If I'm not incorrect, this is the first Kdrama series I've seen when the pandemic strikes in the month of March 2020. Some compare this tale to Romeo and Juliet seeing as the world is against them, as they're in a different reality because the guy is from North Korea and the girl is from South Korea. Captain Ri and Yoon Se-ri have been through a lot in the story; there are numerous obstacles, and the audience will be wondering if they will be caught. I can assure you that this one is outstanding. The story is wonderful, and who can forget those *chismosas* from the north? Hahaha.
Itaewon Class
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It is highly recommended, and you will cry like I did whilst watching it. Park Soe Jeon has had a difficult life, and I feel sorry for him. I'm sure you're unhappy about him. Sae Ro Yi or PSJ, the main character, was imprisoned after he beat his high school rival and also the one responsible for his father's death. When he was in jail, he was preparing to open a restaurant in Itaewon to compete with the popular food company of his competitor, which is owned by the father of the son who killed his father.
I will serve to remind you that you will weep throughout some of the parts in this drama since it is devastating. How he battled for his rights and pride to the point that he lost his right to attend high school and his father was ousted from his job.
The Penthouse
I've watched all three seasons of this drama. There are several challenges that they face, and the tension is excellent due to the story's numerous twists. You should watch this if you enjoy mystery and a little bit of violence. It's a little long because it ends in season three, but it's worth watching. Every character in the novel has a unique story to tell and a distinctive point of view.
It's all about the Hera Palace, where the affluent people dwell; the penthouse is the most luxurious property or spot in the Hera Palace, and everyone wants to live there. Every episode contains a revelation, and you can't help but click the next episode button.
The Uncanny Counter
For me, this is one of the finest kdramas. It's about a high school student with a condition who can't walk and appears to be fragile and is recruited by ghost hunters. They surmounted his disability and began working with them. They are pursuing evil spirits to send to the afterlife rather than roving the streets and devouring human souls. The twist on this one is excellent, and I promise I had a great time watching it.
It's Okay Not To Be Okay
The leading lady, Ko Moon Yeong, is a children's book author, while the leading guy, Moon Gang Tae, works as a caretaker wherever they reside. They both have a melancholy soul because they are dissatisfied with their lifestyles. S ang Tae, Moong Gang Tae's older brother, has a special disability. Sang Tae is terrified of his nightmares when it entail a butterfly. You should watch it to find out why. This kdrama is loaded with Ko Moon Yeong's lessons, kilig, and bardagulan, as well as Gang Tae's brother, Sang Tae.
Mr. Queen
I watched this one in Tagalog Dubbed since I was crocheting at the time. I wanted to grasp the tale while crocheting, so I watched the tagalog dubbed version. It is the story of a man who was a chef in the present time and was involved in an accident; he awoke in amusement as he awoke as a lady in the previous period. Assume you were a male who woke as a girl. Hahaha. This one is likewise highly recommended; I enjoy the tale.
Law School
This kdrama began after a law school professor was discovered dead in his office. Some students and professors have been accused of the murder, but who do you believe killed the victim? It's also about students who are interested in justice and the law, and they constantly have mock classes, which I enjoy the most in each episode. Overall, I appreciate it since you will learn even if you are not studying law. Haha.
Ms. Hammurabi
This kdrama is about a girl named Ms. Hammurabi who works as a sophomore at a law firm and collaborates with a male who has a long-standing crush on her. She is extremely powerful and dignified in her career, which causes her to have various challenges at work. Observing it over time taught me that money cannot buy honesty and loyalty. This one is recommended since it gives the notion that not all attorneys are evil and will not assist you get justice.
Kairos
I watched this only a few months ago, yet it still sounds fresh to me. It is the story of two people who live in opposite times. The father was devastated after his daughter was abducted and killed, and his wife chose to commit suicide as a result of what happened to her daughter. The girl has been living in the past for one month and is looking for her missing mother. These have been assisting one other in changing their fates and overcoming the awful time. I think it's a fantasy thriller since it's impossible to communicate over the phone with a stranger.
Graceful Family
This is my second kdrama, which I watched in March 2020. My cousin recommended it to me back then because he saw how excellent the narrative is. It's about a beautiful, wealthy, and intelligent girl named Mo Seok Hee. She was an only child to his biological father and mother, although she has three stepbrothers. Mo Seok Hee and Heo Yoon Do, an employee of their company, get together to uncover who is responsible for her mother's death. The narrative is highly engaging, and each episode is worth watching. You should watch this, I guarantee it's fantastic.
Conclusion
I still have a lot to recommend, but it's too long, so if you could ask me to do another part, I would gladly do it. I watched those Kdrama series on Facebook, YouTube, Viu, and Loklok. I don't have any money to help pay for a Netflix subscription. Haha. You can watch it on my recommended apps, but if you have Netflix, I suppose you can find it all there.
Thank you for your time, and I hope everything is well with you. Godbless!
Monthly Highlights: March
Article #31 April 1, 2022
Since it stands, my first aim on this platform has been met, as it is my article number 31. I set a goal of writing an article every day for a month and am really pleased that I was able to do it. I didn't miss a single day of publishing, which makes me delighted; I feel like I'm progressing and my discipline is improving as well.
Today I'm going to go through how my march went on read.cash and noise.cash. I have a lot of drafts for the next few days since every time I come up with a new topic, and in order for me not to forget it, I'm creating a draft so that I can easily modify it when I need to post it.
Official Read.casher
I wrote an article on the first of March, and it has been a huge assistance to me. Yes, it is beneficial in terms of finances, but nothing is more significant than the knowledge that I have learned. If you recall from my previous blog, I said that read.cash has been a huge help to me in improving my writing and communication skills. I swear it helps me a lot.
Rusty noticed me
As some individuals in read.cash are a little tampo when Rusty does not notice them, I am glad that Rusty spotted some of my articles. Consider that Rusty is upvoting because he wants to, and we can't do anything if he doesn't upvote a post. When I noticed his name on my notification after accessing my read.cash account, I always kilig. It is not always a blessed day, as we have all witnessed unobserved. What matters is that we are still here, making new friends every day. Thank you very much, Rusty; you are a gift!
March Income in Read.cash
I was overjoyed when I realized the sum of my first earnings. Consider this: in my first month, I earned 47.97 USD. Isn't that a triumph? I am eternally thankful to all of you for making this possible. Thank you very much!
March Income in Noise.cash
Imagine how much I've earned on this site; I earned 6108 pesos, which is a lot for me. I also included my affiliate earnings. I am pleased that some of them are now making more money as well. I grind at noise.cash 24/7 and I am grateful to the people who continue to give me dosh everytime I comment on their postings. It is much larger than read.cash since I am just 1 month in RC and 7 months in NC, and I grind a lot there. If I notice that the refilling of FT is going quickly, I also administer it quickly. If you also have FT, replenishment is significantly faster at night or at midnight than during the day.
Sponsorships
I am overjoyed to have received 5 sponsorships in just one month. This is my cue to write an article worth reading so that they will renew it soon. Thank you @Bloghound @MommySwag @Micontingsabit for giving me a chance despite the fact that I have only a few pieces under my belt before and for continuing to support me. Thank you @alicecalope and @Carewind for sponsoring me only a few hours earlier as well. You have no idea how much your actions today brightened my day. You're all incredibly sweet and humble. Thank you very much.

Time, Money & Energy Never Come To You All Together
Article #29 March 31, 2022
I never got skeptical of scrolling up and down for over an hour looking for a good topic to present to you. Finally, I came upon a Facebook acquaintance who shared a photo of the Young, Adult, and Old in their diverse situations. Time, money, and energy will never come to you all at once. There is always something lacking in you, whether it is time, money, or energy.
*Source of the Picture, click* *here.* https://web.facebook.com/108390400608319/posts/701841341263219/?app=fbl&_rdc=1&_rdr
Young
You don't have much money while you're young. You have a lot of time and energy since you are constantly available to go out; the only problem is that you don't really have much money. Even if you're able to travel freely, you don't have any money to spend. Because I constantly have no money, I sometimes feel myself to be youthful. Haha. Alam mo yon lagi nalang dahilan ko wala me pera. But, come to think of it, being a young person does not need having a lot of money, but rather focusing on your studies or enjoying with your companions. If you are still young and want to do anything or go somewhere, you must save your allowance or negotiate with your parents to give you a reward when you perform well in class. However, not all parents are like that; it is essential to enjoy your youth since one day you will wish to be young again.
Adult
As an adult, you have money and energy, but you don't have time since you're too busy grinding or working. You are always the sort of person that rarely attends parties or special occasions in your circle of friends or relatives. You missed the majority of the reunions that took place over the years. The real kicker is that you are earning your own money and are free to eat anything you want when you are craving for something. You are free to browse online shopping and check out the things that you wanted to purchase. Isn't it good to be in a position where you are financially secure and can treat your family or friends once in a while?
However, just because you are an adult does not imply you have money; there are some individuals who are too lazy to study or work and are still living at home with their parents, and their parents are the ones who provide for them. I am that person. I'm in my twenties, but my mother is still supporting me; I didn't have a job when the pandemic began because I'm hesitant to work on the field.
**There are four different types of adults in this state;**
**No Job**
There are individuals who do not have a job or a business. This is the kind of person I was referring about earlier. There are several reasons why people are unemployed, and I have nothing to say about it. We cannot criticise or denigrate a jobless people since they have a reason for being unemployed, and we are not in a position to intervene.
**9-5 Job**
Adults who work 8 hours a day fall into this category. Those individuals mostly work in the public sector, the corporate sector, or the market on a part-time basis. There is a lot of effort that is necessary to work 8 hours a day. I used to work 8 hours a day for the minimum wage. Those who work 9 to 5, their incomes range from below the minimum wage to the minimum pay and above the minimum salary.
**Self Employed**
Self-employed folks are those who do not work 8 hours a day or do not have an employer in this state. These are the people who work for and are accountable to their businesses. Those who own a business, drive a tricycle or other vehicle, freelance, work as a virtual assistant, and so on are examples of self-employed individuals. Writing an article on this platform might potentially be considered self-employment.
**Business Owner**
This is the type of person I'm working on these days. Those business owners who have a business that is fully operational and making money while you are at home relaxing. Their revenue is based on sales, and their money is growing by the day. The excellent thing is that you have no boss at all.
Whatever sort of people you are in this phase, you have a reason or have been through a lot to be in the stage of your life that you are in right now.
Old
You had money and time in your prior life, but you lacked energy. Even if you can afford to go on somewhere and are free to go, you can't since you seem to have limited energy as an elderly person who is often tired. However, there are still old individuals who are joyful and enjoy life since they have full vitality at good moments.
Conclusion
I now personally believe that time, money, and energy are never allotted to you at the same time. What role do you play among those I've mentioned? If you were to ask me, I would say that I am a young adult. I have a lot of energy and time, but I don't have much money. But there are times when I have money and energy but not enough time. It is determined by the current circumstances or crisis in my life. I may also claim that I am unemployed but have a small business and am self-employed because I am now working as a social media manager. It is not easy, and at times I consider stopping one of them so that I may focus on things that will lead to my success in life in the near future.
My sole concern now since I am still young is that I should work hard in order to be successful in life. I once noticed an article that said we should start our own businesses since it can provide us with a reliable source of income and we never know when they may dismiss us in a current job. It is not a major issue if you have a business. Even if you were terminated, you still have a source of money.
Mentally Exhausted
Do you know what the worst type of sadness is? It is when you are unable to explain why. I was exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally for reasons I don't even understand. It's just today that I'm feeling it, and it's killing me. I'm not sure what I did wrong to deserve and experience this much anguish. I am not a bad person; I always help those around me who need it and I am capable of doing so. I am not claiming to be holy or to be without sin, and I am aware that I am causing harm to others. But I know I am not a bad person yet why is this circumstance that I am in continuously haunting me?
I know I'm healed from the events in my life that lead to this one. I know I'm happier and stronger now, but why am I here again? I feel isolated and as though no one understands what I'm going through. Last year, at 12:01 a.m. on my birthday, I was in despair. I'm having a mental breakdown and am away from my family. I am alone. All I know is that I'm sad because I'm not with them, but now that I'm with them, I'm wondering why I'm still in that phase. I'm not unhappy because of my family; I'm sad for no reason. Or am I deceiving even myself? Can you tell me why I'm feeling this way?
I recall being delighted a while ago, but when the lights went out, I began to cry and wondered why. Let me tell you a story from my past that comes back to haunt me every now and then. My uncle and cousin sexually abused me twice. It's the reason I don't believe in Blood is thicker than water, as I discussed in my article. I was in grade 5 when my uncle harassed me several times, but I didn't tell my parents or siblings. My cousin also molested me in grade 9 at my grandparents' house. It would have been more if I hadn't woken myself up those nightmares. I am emotionally and mentally traumatized from that time until now, as I recall the the worst days of my life. Those devils had no idea that what they did was causing their victims to suffer for the rest of their lives.
I'm sick of fighting my trauma and fear. I'd want to be free for a change, but I can't. I still feel like I'm in anguish and there's no way out. Nobody understands me because I do not even understand myself. I'm always claiming that I have insomnia, which is why I can't sleep at night, but they have no idea that I'm frightened of sleeping at night since my history with those demons haunts me. I never feel safe and secure sleeping at night because of my trauma; I can't even trust my brothers or the people in our house. You know the feeling: you're really sleepy, your eyelids are slowly closing, but you're hesitant to sleep, so you're trying everything you can to wake yourself up.
I really apologize for causing hostility on this site. I know this site is for positive and learning, but I just want to convey how I feel through my darkest times. I just want to be heard once since I don't know how to deal with this circumstance. This is the only time I'll write something like this, so just skip it.
Thank you for staying around and reading. Could you provide me some motivating quotes? I'm tired of browsing for phrases that will get me motivated again.
Laughter Is Brightest In The Place Where Food Is
Article #27 March 29, 2022
Let's get to the good stuff, shall we? I noticed a food blog here and wanted to write something for myself. I am a foodie and seldom dislike it. Give me food if you want to win my heart. There is no specific food that I prefer; simply provide me with any food you have. I am a chubby girl, which is one of the indications that I enjoy eating.
Thank you for my sponsors, God bless you always.
I came upon an image on Google with 30 food-related questions. Because food is love, let us attempt to answer some or all of the questions listed below. Disclaimer: It is solely my food preferences and has nothing to do with someone else's taste buds, so don't criticize me if my answers differ from yours. Hihi. Lovelots! I'm not sure why I'm so peculiar when it comes to food.
**What's your favorite food?**
I can't think of a single food that I desire since I enjoy almost all of them. But, if I must elucidate, my favorite food is Chopsuey. I'll look for Chopsuey wherever I go. What I like about this dish is the cabbage, which is one of my favorite veggies. I've loved this meal since I was a child. I prefer it when it is half cooked since the veggies are crisp. Yum, yum, yum!
**What’s your favorite cuisine?**
Nothing surpasses adobo when it comes to my favorite cuisine in the Philippines. We can't dispute how delicious it is, and there are several ways to prepare it and what meat to use. The aroma and flavor of which we may be proud as Filipinos. If I meet a foreigner acquaintance, the first thing I'll offer her or him is Adobo.
I'm not sure whether Samgyeopsal is a cuisine, but it's one of my favorites. I tried several samgy around Manila, but the **Romantic Baboy** at Cubao Alimall is my favorite. When we go to that place, we always come home with a full stomach. Haha. Their side dishes are delicious, as is the meat itself. Now that I'm composing this, I'm missing eating there. Haha
**What’s your go-to recipe?**
Ramen is my go-to recipe. It is incredibly simple to make because all we need is a small casserole and some water. When it starts to boil, add the ramen and cook it according to the directions on the package. If we have any, I also add an egg on it. It will be more delicious if you add melted cheese, like I saw tiktoker eating her ramen with cheese, but I have yet to attempt it. There is no cheese in the house. Huhu. Hopefully I will try it soon.
**What do you usually eat for breakfast?**
Before the pandemic, I was a morning person. But now I always get up late and it's always lunchtime when I do. I normally have biscuits for breakfast, any biscuits that are available in our house, but if I had to pick one, it would be a simple, not-too-sweet one. In the morning, coffee is always present. I don't always eat breakfast since I'm too full after sleeping. Haha.
**Do you think breakfast is the most important meal of the day?**
Without a doubt! Especially if you have a busy day ahead of you. When I was still working as a service crew, I couldn't work properly if I didn't have my breakfast since I didn't have the energy to work well. Now that I am not working or doing anything, I seldom eat or do not have breakfast, but I recommend that you eat breakfast every day. It is the most essential meal of the day since it gives you the energy you need to go through the day. Even if you are on a diet, dieticians advise you to have breakfast.
**Do you like trying new foods?**
Yes, I'd want to try new foods. I'm interested in various cuisine that I've seen online, but not in exotic foods. I will never try exotic foods because I simply cannot. Huhu. **Biryani** is one dish I'd want to try. Some of my noise.cash friends frequently share **Biryani** recipes, which I like to try.
**Do you have any food allergies?**
I don't have any since I've never had an allergic reaction to anything I've eaten. But there are other stuff that makes me vomit if I eat too much of them, such as eggplant and shrimp. I love eggplant and any type of recipe that includes it, but I've observed that if I eat too much of it, say 3-4 slices, I feel like I need to vomit. Same as in shrimp.
**Do you ever order delivery food?**
Yes, when I'm in the city, but because I'm in the province, there's no **Food panda** and **Grab**. I used to order from **Food Panda** since there were a lot of discounted stores there every day. If you are in the city, you should order from Food Panda since **Jollibee**, **McDonald**, and other excellent food stores occasionally offer 50% discount and free delivery.
**How often do you eat fast food?**
I don't eat fast food very frequently; instead, we prepare our meals at home as it's much cheaper and we're on a tight budget. My sister occasionally buys a cooked friend chicken or grilled *bangus* on their way home from work.
**What’s your favorite pizza topping?**
Cheese! I enjoy pizza with a lot of cheese on top. Some may argue that pineapple should not be on pizza, while others claim that it should, but I will eat that pizza with or without pineapples as long as it contains a lot of cheese.
Closing Thought
It would be too much for me to answer all of these questions in one article, so maybe there will be part 2 and part 3 since I only answered 10 of them and there are still 20 questions remaining. So yeah, I enjoy answering them. Haha. I hope you appreciate it, and thank you for taking the time to read it. Godbless you!

Who Would You Save First?
Article #26 March 29, 2022
My teacher in our personal development class is always packed with surprises and games ready to play when we have a class. We didn't find it monotonous because we like interacting and exploring. He once prepared an unexpected question or circumstance for us to respond to. It's difficult because you have to decide who you'd save in that scenario. Who do you think you'd save first?
I'm not really good at remembering things, so I'll attempt to conjure up a scenario that is near to what we have provided at the point to decide who to save first.
A ship is sinking, and there are only 6 lifeboats available, but you are one of 7 passengers. You can save 6 passengers, including yourself, from the sinking boat. Who would you save first, and who would you let to die, and why?
The teacher let everyone select on who would be the 7 members of our family aboard the ship. We must prioritize our parents and siblings over our other relatives. So these are the people I've decided to put on the ship:
`For reasons of privacy, their real names are not used.`
Lina (mother)
Ed (father)
Anton (brother)
Mary (sister)
Niel (brother)
Loys (brother)
Me
First To Save
My mother is the only one who has to be saved first. I will always prefer her above anybody else. She brought me into the world, and I don't know how I'd be able to live without her. My mother had made several sacrifices for our family, and she deserved to be saved from the sinking in order to live a longer life.
Second To Save
Despite the fact that my father is no longer alive, I will still select him to save from that sinking ship. Even if he was incapable of guiding and providing for us while he was still alive, it did not change the fact that he was our father, and I valued him. He was my first love, yet he is also the source of my sorrow.
I'll give him the other boat and he'll be saved. He deserves to be saved and to enjoy a longer life. If this is true and my Papa is still alive, I would be grateful since I was able to save him and keep him with us for a longer period of time.
Third To Save
I'll give one of the boats to our youngest brother, Loys. He deserved to be with us for a longer period of time, to study, and to find work. Hahaha. But, kidding aside, I adore my youngest brother more than any of my other siblings. In fact, he has been into my plans for when I become financially secure in the future. I'll be the one to stand by him and my mother. My brother and I are the only members of the family who do not have our own families. My youngest brother will undoubtedly be the first to be saved if my mother or father chooses to save.
Fourth To Save
I'll give my sister, Mary, the one boat. She needs to be saved since my nephew is awaiting her to return home. I may not be nice, and my sister may not be kind to me, but I will still select her to save because I know she is not yet ready to leave since she needs to repent for her sins. Haha. Joke! She also listens to me and occasionally supports me in my life, and I know she will be pleased to be with her son.
Fifth To Save
I need to save myself on that sinking boat, as directed. I'll utilize the one boat to be saved and live a longer life. But I will never save myself if it wasn't advised to do so; I will only pray and repent to God and be able to see Him. I am a sinner, and I know I have offended someone I am not aware of, but I will pray to God for clarity on the sin I committed.
It's difficult to decide who will be the sixth person to be saved. I only chose one of my two brothers, Anton and Neil. Some of you may not agree with why I chose one of them, but that is what I believe is best. Please do not pass judgment on me because of this.
Sixth and Last To Save
I'll give the last boat to my brother, Neil. My Anton brother also deserves to be saved, but I chose Neil. Kuya Neil is more responsible in life and supports his family, as opposed to Kuya Anton, who is just interested in betting and bothering my sister-in-law. Kuya Anton's daughter is already a big girl, whilst Kuya Niel's son is just 7 years old. My nephew's father requires direction. I'm not saying that my niece doesn't need his father's guidance, but even now that he's living, he's not guiding his daughter. If she wants to live with me and my mother, I can fund her.
Note: My answers are different from previous ones because I have developed in my understanding of things and how I react to the circumstances offered and what I perceive.
Conclusion
It may be simple to respond and simply write what you believe is acceptable, but for me, it is more difficult because I wonder if it is true. Is it possible for me to pick and decide who will be rescued and who will perish? I'm sure I can't. I'm not sure who will die and who will be saved at the time. Can you imagine neglecting one of your family members? Even if that person is nasty, even if that person has made several mistakes on you and thinks that he will not be repented of, my heart will not risk letting him die.
To Love Is To Receive A Glimpse Of Heaven
Article #25 March 28, 2022
Today's blog is noteworthy since we celebrated three years and three months as a couple. You guys have become like family to me now, and I want to keep you up to speed not just on me, but also on my love life. Hehehe. I wanted to introduce our tale in a nutshell just to give you a taste of what we're about. It's not that clichéd, but I hope you'll read it anyhow.
`Before that, I'd want to thank all of my sponsors; I'll never tire of thanking you for your support. Guys, you may also read their articles.`
We were schoolmates when we first met; he was in grade 11 and I was in grade 12. Yes, I am older than him, but it doesn't matter since I genuinely think he is more mature than me. I noticed his sister greeting him on Facebook on his birthday, but I don't want to comment because we don't get along with his sister. (It's another story why we're not on good terms.) I decided to chat him and wish him a happy birthday. He said thank you and that was the end of it. Days later, he waved at me in the messenger; I recall that waving was popular back then as a gesture that you wanted to talk to someone. He waved again, and I waved back, and thus we began to get to know each other.
Fantastica Movie is the key.
His birthday is November 17th, and he courted me over the month of December. He invited me to a date in Sm Tarlac on December 28th. We watched **Fantastica,** a Vice Ganda movie featuring Dingdong Dantes, if I'm not mistaken. Vice Ganda is a truly entertainer who is at ease while cracking a joke. We went to Mang Inasal for lunch after watching the movie. (*First date pero napalaban agad kumain ng madami, noh? Haha)*
The day we became romantically involved.
You won't believe it, but I said yes to him on the way home after our date. I just felt like I loved him, and I know he loves me likewise. So, yep, December 28 is the date I answered him. It was so amazing for me that I'm worried we'll break too soon. Others warn that if you answer a person quickly, he will easily break your heart, but I'm willing to take the risk. I keep it a secret from my friends because I know they'll be upset because the last time they checked, I was just telling them that we're getting to know each other. But I made a point of telling them about it after a month since my boyfriend once gave me a present; chocolates and a shirt.
Months have gone, and the month of April marks our graduation. We never fought or broke up in the four months we were together. He is very understanding and has never fought back at me, despite the fact that I am usually picking a fight with him. My previous relationships all lasted exactly 9 months. Don't get me wrong, I have three ex-boyfriends, but we only communicate via text or messenger; there was no physical contact. Because the majority of them lasted 9 months, I believe we will likewise finish in 9 months.
Long-distance relationship is challenging.
When I finished Senior High School, I moved to Manila to look for work. I don't have a choice since my sister, who lives at the house where I'm living, has urged me to leave. Yes, she did not want me to stay in their home any more, and it is a different topic that I will share another time. Even though my boyfriend and I were in LDR, we had a wonderful and healthy relationship, but it would not last forever.
We rarely communicate in a day since I had job and was exhausted when I got home. We got the feeling that our love was fading as the days passed. I got more toxic and jealous. Well, I have a reason because I have a good intuition and could see what was going on even when I am not around. Okay, girls, aren't you going to be jealous when you see your boyfriend on another girl's messenger story? Are you not going to be upset if you saw him hanging out with their classmates, including the girl I'm referring to, and never informed me about it, and I just found out about it from a classmate's post? (*Parang ayoko na tuloy ituloy yung story ko. Haha)*
There were times when I questioned and blamed myself for how we ended up together that time, but we fought our love and are still together. There was no third party involved; I was just envious and toxic at the time.
`to be continued...`
As I am too tired to compose myself right now, I will continue our story tomorrow. I'll tell you about our troubles, why we broke up, how we got back together after 3 months of no communication, and how we've been together for 3 years and 3 months.
3/28/2022
In the afternoon, he pays me a visit and buys milktea, a mango graham shake, and pizza. He bought milktea for my brother and nephew since I was craving a mango graham shake, that is what he bought for me. He assumed my nephew and brother preferred milktea, so he got it for them. My brother-in-law is out campaigning, and my sister is at work, so there are only 4 of us in the house. It's a simple gesture from him that I appreciate. He hasn't changed and continues to make me feel special.
Closing Message
That's it for now, folks; I'll make another one tomorrow. As I was quite drowsy at the moment, I apologize for the errors; I will revise it tomorrow. Hihi. Thank you for your time.
Procrastination
Article #24 March 27,2022
It is not too late to write my piece for today, despite the fact that I have been procrastinating all day. I've been here for hours now, reading every blog that has come across my path, and I still don't have a topic to write on. As I was idling, I decided to write about how my day went today.
What's the difference between procrastination and laziness?
I used to believe that procrastination was synonymous with laziness. Not until I understood the differences between the two at this point. It's a good thing we have Google to go to if we need to know something without asking anyone. Google plays an important part in our lives these days.
***Procrastination is often confused with laziness, but they are very different. Procrastination is an active process, you choose to do something else instead of the task that you know you should be doing. In contrast, laziness suggests apathy, inactivity and an unwillingness to act. (source:*** ***here******)*** https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_96.htm
I thought I was lazy, but it turns out I was only procrastinating. When we talk of laziness, we mean the incapacity to do anything. Even though we are aware that the deadline is today, we lack the courage to deal with the situation. Procrastination, on the other hand, is the feeling of not wanting to do something even when you know you should. It is also the moment when you will complete tasks that you assume will be much easier than those due today. Nonetheless, these two are caused by a lack of motivation to work and a feeling of tiredness at a specific pace.
It is fine to procrastinate sometimes, but do not make it a habit. It will become your lifestyle until you realize you are constantly lethargic and lack the motivation to complete tasks on time.
I wanted to express my gratitude to my sponsors; thank you for inspiring me to write more and for believing in me. Guys, you may also read their articles.
How I Spent My Day
At 12 a.m., I'm still awake. because I'm waiting for the Shopee sale. I just got one overrun mall pullout tshirt for myself, because my mother took one of my tshirts that I also bought from that store. I usually bought Overun shirts because they were branded yet reasonably priced. They are very comfortable to wear and are not easily damaged. I purchased a load from Shopee after placing my order, but I was dismayed since they eliminated the 20 load for only 1 peso. But I'm still thankful as they still offer the 50% discount for 20 peso load. I visited several of my social media sites before going to bed, including noise.cash, facebook, tiktok, and instagram. I also read around five articles before going to bed.
I awoke at 10:30 a.m. since I had slept late, and my brother-in-law had begun to prepare the food for lunch; our ulam is monggo. I told him I'd take over because he was only boiling it at the moment. I prepared the dish beside the rice. After that, I went through all of my notifications and replied to the comments I had gotten. I constantly receive notifications in the noise.cash and read.cash because I am more active on these sites than on my other social media accounts
As I watched vlogs on YouTube, I made my food and coffee for the day. I enjoy watching Ivana Alawi's vlogs since she clearly loves her family. You must watch Alex Gonzaga's vlogs if you want to laugh out loud. I admire how she handles things and stays cheerful in her vids. I like her being kalog.
In the afternoon, I should write my piece for today, but procrastination hits, and instead of writing, I end up reading countless articles and scrolling up and down on Facebook. Around 2 p.m., I decided to go to nap since my eyes were tired from scrolling so much. I awoke about 4 p.m. and, instead of attending my online free virtual assistant course, I went to tiktok to browse random videos. I'm guilty for being so negligent.
There are moments when I am like this. I'm unmotivated to do the tasks on my to-do list for today. I only completed one of the 5 things on my to-do list, and that is the one I am writing now. But I asserted that it is acceptable to procrastinate on a certain day, but I will not allow it and will work hard the next day. I'll complete them all tomorrow to get rid of the guilt I'm having right now.
Closing Remarks
That's all, guys. I hope you're doing well and that you're now relaxing in your bed. Tomorrow, I'll post an intriguing blog. Thank you for stopping by to read. Godbless!
Very Determined But Easily Intimidated
Article #23 March 26, 2022
This is Part 2 of my previous blog about Ambivert Struggles: Can You Relate? Part 1 may be found by clicking here. Feel free to participate in the prompt questions that I found on Pinterest; I'd love to see your responses. Hehe. https://read.cash/@joydigitalsolutions/ambivert-struggles-can-you-relate-88375d53
**Very Determined But Easily Intimidated**
I am extremely committed and prepared to go to any extent for the purpose of achieving my life goals. However, I am easily frightened and lack self-confidence. In my small business, for example. I always plan everything, purchase the supplies, and take photos of the products. I'm determined for it to succeed, but every time I'm going to share it on my social media accounts, I have trouble composing myself because I'm afraid someone would comment inappropriately or some of my followers will slam me or something.
Another example is me writing an article; I absolutely love writing and plan to produce more in the future, but I find it difficult to express myself freely because I fear you are not enjoying it. Even if grammar is not a huge concern to me, I occasionally notice errors when I read my own articles. I swear it feels intimidated. However, I am working on it. Seeing how much you enjoy and comment on my blogs makes me pleased and gratified, and it motivates me to write more.
**~~Want to make friends, but get social anxiety~~**
I don't think I can relate to this because I am quite friendly. I'm simply too hesitant to initiate a discussion with you, but I'd love to chit chat to. Even when I bump into someone on the bus or in a public place, I am always the one to approach them and smile. I'm not sure, but even though you're a complete stranger to me, I've always assumed that we'd be friends. That sort of thing. Haha. When I'm among my friends, I have no social anxiety; in fact, I enjoy being with them and making new life experiences.
It is easier for me to talk to a stranger than to talk to a friend after a quarrel. When I have a misunderstanding with one of my friends, we always end up not talking for months because I don't feel the need to talk to you first when I don't see any willingness on your part to talk to me. Similarly to my sister, if I believe you do not want to solve our issues, she will not expect me to make the first move.
**~~You want to arrange a social gathering but don't know how~~**
No, this does not relate to me. Even before the pandemic, I seldom planned any outings. How much more so now that it is explicitly prohibited to host a gathering, particularly if you are not fully vaccinated? As I stated in Part 1, I enjoy participating when my friends plan to reconnect but end up canceling, so what am I going to do if I am the one who arranges a gathering but does not attend? I'm sure they'll be upset with me.
But, to be honest, I miss hanging out with them, and I miss all of the laughs we had in senior high. Nothing compares the joy we felt when we were in high school, not an online class. We were often arranging sleepovers and food trips with one of my friend's house back then. Yet that has changed; I no longer have the eagerness to do it, but I still miss them.
**~~Either you're the life of the party or you are no where to be found~~**
I can't relate to this because I'm always missing when there's a special occasion. Maybe I used to always join, but it has all changed lately. I'm not sure if my friends miss my old self who loved to arrange get togethers, but when I moved to the city for work, I cut back on my social life. I hate to say it, but I've been losing my enthusiasm to be the happy goer ever since I realized how difficult it was to make money. Haha. For me, every penny counts.
If I become successful in life and have a lot of money, in God willing, I will always plan a vacation to different countries as my treat. I'll treat them all and just enjoy life. That is one of my life goals: to travel and enjoy life in such a short period of time before returning to my work. But for the time being, I'm going to focus on my dreams and see how far I can get.
**Not good as asking for help**
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is terrified to ask for help from others, especially when you think they would be peeved. The reason behind this is that we are afraid of being rejected. When we ask for assistance, others may unintentionally disregard us, which we interpret as a rejection. Alternatively, if we ask them once and they reject us, we cease asking them again.
Another factor is that we are fearful of being seen as weak or incapable of putting in a particular amount of effort for something. We believe they view us as weak, and this will remain in their minds for the rest of their lives. I'd rather struggle with something than seek assistance. But there's nothing wrong with asking for help, especially if you know you can't handle it on your own. It is preferable to ask than to act and exacerbate the situation. For my part, I'd be delighted to assist others for as long as I'm able.
Closing Message
That's all for now, folks; I hope you had a good time. I'd appreciate it if you wrote one and tagged me. Hehe. After I publish this, I'll sleep for two hours before heading to my part-time job. I needed to work hard because my birthday was approaching. I need to get myself something as a present. Hehe.
Ambivert Struggles: Can You Relate?
Article #22 March 26, 2022
As we all know, prompt questions are fun to respond, especially when you can't think of anything to write about. Every night, before I go to bed, I check several of my phone's apps to help me relax. I'll check Shopee to see how my shop has been doing and where my parcels are at the moment, then Facebook to see what my friends are up to, Tiktok to watch anything random, then Pinterest. I like Pinterest because it is visually appealing and allows me to see a lot of things. Go to Pinterest and search for any topic you're interested in. There are several pictures connected to what you looked for.
I came saw this one that piqued my interest. Ambiverts are something I'm not familiar with. I'm just acquainted with introverts and extroverts. So, what are we going to do if we don't know what a word means? Let's look it up on Google. Haha. And it reads as follows:
*An ambivert is someone who exhibits qualities of both introversion and extroversion, and can flip into either depending on their mood, context, and goals. Ambiverts have also been called: Outgoing introverts: An introvert who can be outgoing in certain situations, around certain people, or when they absolutely need to. -(Source* *here**)* https://www.scienceofpeople.com/ambivert/
So I've learnt that an ambivert is someone who possesses both extrovert and introverted features. I became fascinated in it and began to answer to them. I feel connected to the topic after reading through all of the lists. Let's get started.
**Torn between going out and staying in**
Do you ever get the feeling that you scheduled to go out on a specific date, but then you change your mind? I enjoy staying at home and being in my comfort zone. My elder sister assumed that the reason I don't go outside is because I am overweight and self-conscious about it. She had no idea that when I go out before, it's typically because I have some errands to run or I just need to get some fresh air. But there are times when I want to go somewhere in our town but end up canceling. I'm not sure why, but all I know is that I'm quite modest among others.
**Love friends but also need alone time**
I recall previous friends from when I was in grade 6. They were my friends from grade 3 through grade 6, until something came up. We were rehearsing our march because it was the month of our graduation, and all we did was practice. I don't recall the precise reason why we stopped talking till now, but all I remember is that they invited me to come over and go to one of their friends' houses back then, but I declined. They left me that time, and I chose to believe it was alright because it was my first time refusing to walk because I was exhausted. They stopped talking to me the next morning, as if they weren't my friends. We didn't get a chance to talk to each other till we graduated from elementary school. I felt like I needed closure on them till now. But I'm afraid they've already forgotten about me.
Until recent times, I've had the behavior that I don't want to hang out with my friends. I occasionally longed to be alone and enjoy my own company without anybody else present. I adore my friends, but I hope they understand that we all require time alone from time to time.
**~~Overthink things~~**
No, I didn't overthink things all the time. Maybe once, but not anymore. I think that every problem has a period and a solution, so I quit worrying about things that haven't happened yet and avoid things that may cause me problems in the near future.
I've quit overthinking thanks to noise.cash. If you ask how, I'll tell you. I have a habit of overthinking while I'm on Facebook because I read some posts there and assume that we have the same problem when, in fact, I was merely relating to it but not literally. But now that I'm on noise.cash, I don't have as much time to spend on Facebook. I just scroll up and down for 10 minutes before logging out of my account. In this sense, I feel like I avoided an app that drives me to overthink and replaced it with a really positive application which is the noise.cash.
**People struggle to figure you out**
I'm not sure why, but most people don't understand me. I don't consider myself challenging to figure out what I'm thinking or feeling at the time. It's fine for me when my lover doesn't understand me since I think it's natural, but occasionally others around me don't understand me. I suppose it's because I'm bipolar or moody, like this moment I'm joyful and clinging, and then later on I'll be upset at simple things or I won't talk to you till I want to.
That is why I don't want to be with someone whose in my comfort zone. I enjoy being alone and do anything I want without regard for what others may think or feel about me. I despise crowded places. Sometimes I don't want my boyfriend to be with me; I simply want to be alone and read articles or watch Movies.
**Closing Message**
I'll end it here for now because I'm already sleepy. I routinely compose articles when I can't sleep, and since I've finished some questions, I might as well publish it. I'll continue and write a part 2 tomorrow if I have time. I hope you enjoy it, guys. Thank you very much!

Never Have I Ever: School Edition
Article #21 March 25,2022
I saved @kingofreview 's article 4 days ago and forgot about it till I spotted a blog by sis @Jeaneth. I decided to compose my own, exposing myself in the process. Hahaha. Since I have some free time today and am simply watching series, I will probably answer around 6 of kingofreview's questions.
**Skipped A Class**
I'm sure I've skipped a few times. Hahaha. Just kidding, I can't count the number of times I missed particular classes. When I was in grade 11 and 12, I had a teacher who either rarely or never taught. We normally watch a presentation followed by a short quiz, read a book or lesson followed by a short quiz, or simply sit in our chair and do whatever we want as long as we are silent.
When we didn't have anything to do, we merely skipped class and went to the canteen. We enjoy going to the canteen, doing food trips in an hour, and going back to our rooms after that teacher's class. We were fortunate not to fail that subject. Hahaha.
**Enjoyed Studying**
I have enjoyed studying, but not always. There are times when I despise studying and moments when I enjoy it. It all depends on the topic. When it comes to mathematics, I love the subject since our grade 9 math teacher is superb at teaching. That is also one of my best marks. In ninth grade, I received a 97 on my mathematics. I enjoy listening to her; it's as if we're simply chatting.
Personal development was another subject that I enjoyed studying. It is unique in that it has game - based learning such as logic and others. Our teacher is regularly planning fun activities for us to play. You will not be bored in that subject since it is full of surprises and the teacher is entertaining. What I like about that teacher is that he has a third eye and is always sharing what he sees. Hahaha. It appears to be frightening, yet I enjoy it.
**Bullied Anyone At School**
I used to bully someone in 7th grade. I know it's wrong and I should keep it to myself, but I still want to post it here. I used to despise the fact that I bullied someone. So, allow me to share it with you, but please do not condemn me because I am now grown.
I have a classmate whom I dislike or consider as a bad one. I dislike her being loud, especially while I am studying or reading something. My shoes were once ripped, and I had to buy shoe glue to repair them. I'm not sure who whispered me to put the shoe glue on her chair when I finished repairing them. I DID IT! It was extremely humiliating when they ordered me to go to the administration office. Because no one was harmed, I was not suspended. It was merely that a student noticed me and informed the chair's owner that I had put something in it. I believe I would have been suspended if my classmate had not seen me when someone sat on the sticky chair. Thank goodness it didn't happen.
I was 13 years old at the time, but I new exactly I did something wrong and apologized afterward. It was my fault, and I am not proud of it. Until now, I've learnt my lesson, and when I see someone harassing other students, I'm the one on whom they rely. Everyone has the right to go to school without worrying about being bullied.
**Make Fake Excuses For Being Late**
Yes, I have make fake excuses for being late. When I was in grade 12, my buddies and I decided to sleep over so that we could finish our research. After we completed our part and finished revising it, we drank alcohol after. We finished revising at 11 p.m., began drinking, and finished around 2 a.m. We were still talking and joking when we went to bed, and we may have slept around 3:30 a.m. and awoke late. We finished the research paper so quickly that we only drank it that evening. We awoke at 7 a.m., and the first class began at 7:15 a.m. We explained to the teacher that we were rushing to finish the research and hence woke up late.
In fact, I do it all the time. I am not a morning person, and getting up early is challenging for me. I also don't want to go to school without having had a bath, so I always take the time to do so, even if I'm already late. I was lucky in that our teacher was not strict and always accepted my excuses.
**Had A Crush On Someone In My Class**
Yes, I did. After all, who didn't have a crush back then? Some of my classmates were attractive, notably my previous crush. He was gifted not just because he played volleyball and basketball, but also because he was a skilled artist. I am highly impressed by his demeanor, and you will not be bored when you are with him. He was incredibly tall given my height was just 4'11", and I always looked at him as if I were gazing at a really tall tree, haha.
He had no idea I liked him at the time, so it was easy for me to be with him and secretly *kinikilig* as we talked and laughed. One of the reasons I no longer like him is that he has a girlfriend. I don't think I'll be able to connect with him, so what's the point of having a crush on him? He plays such an important role in my life that I constantly recite in class and study more. It's as if I'm trying to impress him, so whenever the teacher asks us a question, I always raise my hand to answer. It felt as though he was my motivation to study more. Haha.
**Played A Prank**
I'm not sure what type of prank is being addressed here, but all I remember is that when I was in senior high school, I was always pranking my buddies. We sometimes put an eraser from the classroom in one of my friends' bags and take it home with her. We occasionally put a stone in my friend's backpack and take it home with them. That is the prank we normally do when we are having a good time and want to prank one of our pals. It wasn't too horrible because we're friends and know how much we can prank and when to stop. We still respect them, but only because they are having fun. We still respect them but since they are enjoying it, why not. We know our limitations.
When I'm with my friends, it's one of my favourite memories of school. I miss being a senior high school student, and it's nice to have face-to-face classes again. We have a lot of fun when we go to school, and not just in online classes.
Closing Message
That's all, guys. I hope you won't be furious at me for what I did to a classmate when I was 13 years old. I knew it was wrong, and I've already apologized. We're all set now. I simply wanted to share my thoughts on the never have I ever game. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and God bless you.
*ps. Iedit ko to next time, sorry po sa mga grammatical errors na makikita niyo, naubusan na me time to edit it. Huhu. But still sana magustuhan niyo padin. Thank you!*
5 Ways To Grow Your Business
Article #20 March 24,2022
Hello, guys! I've just finished my work for the day. My cousin is teaching me how to be a social media manager, and he assigned me the task of creating a caption for each poster he creates. I worked on these for hours, therefore I don't have time to share my thoughts here today.
I chose to share these captions because who knows when some of you could be interested in starting a small business? This blog will help you learn about business. I created these on my own and did not take them from other creators. As a small business, I felt it would be a tremendous help in starting your own. There is no easy way out; you must put up extra effort to succeed.
5 Ways To Grow Your Business
**Make a plan**
If you want to grow your business, you need to establish a step-by-step blueprint. Set your goals, whether they be for a day, a month, or even a year. Take a look at the list of resources and identify the obstacles so you can develop a strategy to solve them.
**Build a sales funnel**
Creating a sales funnel is one of the most powerful concepts in business; it will have a significant influence on your business, therefore you must create one for it to expand. The sales funnel has four stages: awareness, interest, decision, and action.
**Research the competition**
You must be aware that there is always a competition in each enterprise, and you must analyze and learn about their strategies. Examine their business to see if it's comparable to yours and identify their strengths and weaknesses. That way, you can enhance yours and provide your customers more selections. If you believe your competitor's pricing are lower than yours, you can also consider dropping yours.
**Build an email list**
It is critical to maintain an email list since it allows you to easily receive messages from consumers, encourage people to return, and establish confidence. There are several simple ways to make one, and it only takes a short amount of time.
**Focus on analytics**
By focusing on your business's analytics, you can simply assist it in producing quality selections, making more informed decisions, and achieving the set of objectives that you constructed.
If you can follow these 5 phases, you will undoubtedly succeed in your business. It will take time, but it will have a significant long-term influence on your business.
I recall when I was pondering starting my own little business. I'm thinking a lot about what business to start, who my client will be, when I'll start, and if I'll be able to make it. Unfortunately, I did not do enough research and did not expect it to be that difficult, especially because you can make it right immediately. It is simple to plan, but difficult to put into practice. I've spent a lot of money as a result of my inconsistency. I've begun with scrunchies, then went on to clay arts, phone cases, food bundles, and now crocheting. It's a good thing I'm sticking with crochet for the time being and have no plans to change. If I only understood how to grow businesses in a deeper sense, I would effectively limit myself to one. Hahaha.
Just a tiny piece of advice for all aspiring businessmen and women out there. Best regards on your journey. You will succeed as long as you enjoy what you do, but you should also consider learning new knowledge in the business world. Consistently think about anything that is lacking in your area, and never go with the flow of the crowd. I've been there before. I recall seeing on Tiktok that a lot of people were buying scrunchies, so I produced some to sell. I just posted it on my Facebook page and did not boost it, therefore I did not received a large number of consumers. Because I am indecisive how to boost my sales, I recommend that you prepare a strategy for building a successful business.
Closing Message
I apologize if I did not prepare anything for today. I'm really so busy these days, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to keep to my plan of writing one article every day, but I'll try my best. Thank you to everyone who continues to comment on and upvote my blog. God bless you everybody, and have a wonderful day.
I Introduced Noise.cash & Read.cash To My Friends
Article #19 March 23, 2022
Yes, you read it right: I am actively introducing noise.cash and read.cash to my friends. I don't have enough time to accommodate them all, so I do it one at a time. My target is to finish introducing these two by April 22nd, which will be my birthday gift to myself.
It's hard to acquire their trust in certain things since they assume it's a waste of time and that I'm just scumming them. Last year, after I had just been on noise.cash for a month, I excitedly introduced it and shared it on my Facebook profile. I did introduce it and recommend that people give it a shot in order to earn BCH. Unfortunately, over 20 of the people that contacted me only created an account and then left. I'm exhausted because I'm engaging with them one by one to ensure that all of their questions were answered and that they don't feel ignored.
People often expected things to be done quickly and for them to have instant money without actually having to work.
The only mistake I made was to introduce it to them and tell them they would earn money, but this was wrong. I could have informed them that using these two platforms will increase their writing skills and capabilities. I was naive at the time, therefore this time I will introduce it without involving or mentioning income. I'll encourage them to write high-quality content that will improve their abilities on any topic they’ve chosen, and they'll be rewarded if people find their work intriguing. It is not necessary to tell them that they will be rewarded instantaneously if they write anything.
I stopped promoting it at that point because they were not interested, and I couldn't do anything if they weren't. I don't have any ample time because I'm actively crocheting and have no time to interact with others.
Alfredo initially got interested.
Alfredo has been a long-time friend of mine. We don't talk often, but when I first started playing Mobile Legends, he was one of my pals that helped me understand the game. It was entertaining, but I became uninterested and deleted Mobile Legend from my phone. He is presently in his third year of college and is really interested in photography, which I can attest to. Users of noise.cash, I believe, will be pleased to see the photographs he has to share. On noise.cash, his username is **SkylerRelixx**, and you can add him as a mate if you want.
I told him to take his time because he was only interested in noise.cash right now. Nonetheless, I encourage him to try read.cash because he has the ability to write and share his thoughts here. I imagine his story would pique your attention. He's the type of person with whom you'll want to be friends because he never runs out of things to talk about. Hahaha. Because I am a Marites, this appeals to me.
The reason I told him about it first is because I know he'll go for it and trusts me. He, too, necessitates some finances for his studies; he is self-supporting, and he occasionally tells me how difficult it is for him to study when he sometimes cannot afford to purchase materials for his projects. Knowing about these sites might be quite advantageous to him.
I actually introduced these two to Alfredo and another friend, but it appears that the latter was uninterested. I'm in the midst of recommending it to some of my friends, and I'm certain that they will eventually join noise.cash and read.cash. They were enthralled and delighted to learn more about it as I explained it to them. Before I encourage them to create accounts here, I'm trying to explain how it works and that it's not easy and not merely about earning money so they don't get disappointed. I've already realized my mistake, so I'm focusing on explaining it to them briefly.
I'll introduce them all to you sooner or later, and you can read their articles and stories. I'm glad I can help them in such a small way, but it means a lot to them. I'm interested in learning more about investing in the crypto industry, therefore I anticipate them to be as well. There is a lot of opportunity in the crypto world, and platforms like read.cash and noise.cash can really help you get into it.
**Conclusion**
Guys, that's it for today. I hope you found it captivating. When I've successfully welcomed them here, I'll publish a part 2 of it. I hope you would support them in the same way you have supported me here. Read.cash has been incredibly helpful in improving my writing abilities; it isn't perfect, but it is progress. I hope you're having a great day right now. Godbess!
Blood is no Longer Thicker than Water
Article #18 March 22, 2022
Do you still believe that blood is ticker than water? Is it really true that a family is always strong and caring, or has it passed us by and we must accept it? I used to believe that the strongest relationships we have are those ones we have inside our relatives. Nothing compares to the joy that family love brings, but I'm beginning to wonder that.
I saw the newest article of sis @Murakamii.7 and mentioned there how her partner's grandma treatment towards him and I can't help but to share my story about that situation too. If you want to read it, just click here. https://read.cash/@Murakamii.7/how-can-you-love-him-6d7738e8
I have a relative that operates a funeral service. From my father's side, it was owned by my aunt. It is well-known in town since they provide consistently excellent service at a lower cost than the competitors in the market. They used to simply be franchising, I'm not sure if that's the right phrase, but they didn't own the funeral services previously, but because they already knew how to operate a business like that, they decided to start their own.
They were the ones that accompanied my father's funeral in 2014, when he died. They provide and give a good coffin for my father, I remember. If I'm not misinformed, the whole cost is around 25,000 pesos. My mother assumed that because they are siblings, our aunt would offer it for free, and she had never mentioned it before. Months pass, and my aunt reminds my mother that she must pay for the funerals. To prevent conflicts, my mother did not argue and just gave the stated amount. It's a good thing my mother had money left over through the insurance she received in her loan because my father was the beneficiary. We planned to spend that money to repair our house because it was totally obliterated at the time, but we were unable to do so.
I don't hold a grudge towards my aunt since she has the right and we have to pay for it because we are the real family and it is a business. I just can't understand how she told in our neighborhood that she was the one who paid for everything for my father's wake, even the coffin, which we thought was not free. I was simply thinking that if I were in her place, I would gladly provide since we are family and that is how we are. But still maybe it depends on the situation.
I sometimes compare both sides of my mother and father's family. They are different as I can see.
We were without electricity at the time when my father died. Consider how we handled the wake. My father's brother, who lives next door to us, was the only one with electricity at the time, so we convinced him to allow us borrow his' for a short while. He agreed, and all we had to do was give him some payment for the usage.
*Nakaburol lang ang papa ko for 6 days instead of 9 days kasi* he had diabetes and *hindi daw kaya if patagalin pa. Naalala ko nong nilibing namin si Papa and sabi nila ay huwag muna iligpit yung mga gamit sa burol like parang nakaburol padin daw si papa at buuin yung 9 days since yun yung correct days sana. Nakakasad na after ng libing is hindi na sinindi yung ilaw namin kahit alam naman niya yung sabi ng Pari about that.*
Imagine how we felt at the moment, but we lacked the courage to ask if we might utilize their electricity for a few days. For such nights, we just light a candle till the 9 days are up. Fortunately, my mother's nieces were present at the time to comfort us, and therefore did not experience any sorrow.
My brother and some of my relatives work with my aunt, who owns and operates a funeral service. Isn't it true that she is attached to her relatives? However, you are wrong. Did you know that they weren't being paid fairly? They filed a complaint with the Department of Labor and pleaded for assistance since my aunt was not paying her employees properly, including my brother and other relatives. To think that their salary is below the minimum wage and that they are still not paid their full wages despite the fact that they work hard.
You wouldn't believe it if I told you that this issue only happens to her relatives and that the other employees who aren't related to her don't have the same problems. That is the extent of my aunt's treatment of her kin. Of course, even if she is your aunt, you would file a complaint in the same way.
Since the pandemic, some of my kin, including my brother, have returned to the business, which is owned by my aunt. My aunt was the one who contacted them because they were short on employees at the time and had a lot of customers. Note that the incident described above occurred many years ago. According to what I've heard, my aunt pays their paychecks on time and in the correct amount, but they are still below the minimum wage. I'm hoping she'll make it minimum compensation because the work is rigorous and her business is rapidly expanding thanks to the hard work of her employees.
Conclusion
I therefore conclude that blood is no longer thicker than water. This is not in general but just in my own experience. It is specifially happens to me and does not on you. You are lucky if you have relatives that still help you and not hindering your dreams and goals in life. I may not be lucky for those relatives I have, one thing for sure that I still lucky to have a God that never abondon us. That is the most important of all. God bless us all guys!
As a result, I've come to the conclusion that blood is no longer thicker than water. This is not a generalization; it is based on my own experience. This only happens to me; it does not happen to you. You are fortunate if you have relatives that continue to support you and do not obstruct your objectives and goals in life. I may not be fortunate in terms of my relatives, but one thing is certain: I am fortunate to have a God who never abandons us. The most vital of all is this. May God bless us all!
3.15 Shopee Sale: Satisfied? Let me see, let me see!
Article #17 March 21, 2022
I waited for all of my parcels to come before sharing it with you, and I chose to write it tomorrow because one of my purchases did not arrive today, but the rider arrived minutes ago. So let me share it with you right now since I am excited to show you. It's not essential, but allow me to show. Hahaha.
I also wanted to mention that I have a job interview for a social media manager later this evening. It's my first time, but I said yes when my cousin asked if I could do it now. I urged him not to get his hopes too high because I'm concerned I won't be hired since I don't think I'm capable of doing it. Haha. *Syempre iba din kasi kapag talagang sanay kana makipagtalak talakan, kung sa chat na interview baka kaya ko pa ipasa eh, wahaha.* Wish me luck guysuu!
You can also visit to my sponsors' blogs named above;
they have nice and fascinating content.
1. Sunflower Oil and Abonne Scrub
The first order from 3.15 came a few days ago. I bought these two as a set for only 178 pesos, including shipping fee, and I only paid 168 pesos total. I got discount. Hihi. I've seen these on tiktok a few times now, and they claim to be effective. The shop had a lot of positive feedbacks, and the set itself has a 4.9/5 ratings, so I decided to give it a shot.
It's also my first time buying skincare products, aside from soap, because I don't want to spend money on skin care when I'm only using it within our home. But now I'm thinking I'll simply try it once. We may also treat ourselves once in a while because the money we spend comes from our own pockets.
Even though I have only used these two items three times since purchasing them, I can say that they are effective. I can see that the dark spots on my skin have lightened up after I scrub it all over my body. How much more if I use it till it runs out, and who knows when I'll buy it again as a satisfied customer? Haha.
2. Kiamoy & Sampaloc Candy
This is the second time I've purchased kiamoy. They say it is quite salty, and they're right. I'm having one after my meal since it's helping me get rid of some of the fat I ate that stuck at my tongue. It's just a little pricey, considering it's just 100 grams and costs 57 pesos. I wanted to buy 1 kg, but my budget wouldn't allow it. *Bibili nalang ulit ako nukan kapag naubos.*
I also include the Sampaloc Candy, which I like. This was my fave before kiamoy. I purchased 1/2 kilogram, and there is nothing left on the container since I have already eaten them all. Hahaha. The spiciness and sweetness are blending, and I'm not sure why, but every time I remove the seed out of my mouth, I'll automatically get another one from the container. *Mas mura to compared to kiamoy, tignan niyo naman price differences nila.* Haha.
3. Popcorn
I'm not sure how many times I've bought popcorn from this store. In comparison to other stores, I like theirs. We absolutely love popcorn, so instead of buying cooked popcorn every day at the market, I'll just buy this packet. One kilo costs only 70 pesos, and we can already cook a lot of it. *Mayroon pa kaming cheese din na hindi maubos ubos. Haha. Mas nauuna pang nauubos yung popcorn kaysa sa cheese. Well, isang pack na din kasi yung cheese at kapag napadami yung lagay ay maalat na.*
4. Wired Mini Mouse
The wireless mouse is the one that I purchased incorrectly. I had no idea the battery didn't last very long. If my memory serves me well, I purchased it last 3.3, but it stopped working a few days ago, so I opted to get this one. It may not be as portable as wireless, but as long as it fulfills its purpose, it will suffice.
I just noticed that what I bought was a mini, and I'm not *sanay*. Hahaha. Take a look at how much money I saved buying this mouse. The original price was 46 pesos, however I only spent 39 pesos with shipping fee included. I'm not sure where I got the voucher for 20 pesos. I can attest to the fact that it is both affordable and useful for me.
5. Remote Control Helicopter
This order is for my nephew, not for myself. My sister asked that I order this for her son and the other kid on their place. She doesn't have the Shopee app on her phone, which is why she always asks me to buy something for her.
Take a look at how much money we saved here. It says buy 2 and save 8 pesos, good thing that she'll need 2 of them. Given that it was free delivery and I received cashback of 51.15 pesos, it was a real. So, in all, we saved 60 pesos plus the shipping fee. That is why I usually order when Shopee is having a sale since I save a lot of money. My 51.15 coin cashback will be applied to my next transaction. Hehe.
The toys are exciting to play on, and my nephew appreciates it. I'm hoping it doesn't be damaged as quickly as he always does. It meets its goal of making my nephew happy.
6. Brigthest Soap
This soap has been used by my brother and me for about a year. I purchased three of these to ensure that they will last a long time. It definitely works for my brother, and if you look at his face, you'll see that I often wonder where his pores are because I don't see any. Hahaha.
*Itong sabon na to ay hiyang na hiyang sakanya, lalo na sa face niya*. My brother is more inclined to take care of his skin than I am, which is fortunate because he is quite attractive. (I'm hoping he doesn't see this one.)
My friend introduced me to this soap since she used to be a reseller, and I bought some for her as a way of supporting her business. I use this soap exclusively on my body and continue to use safeguard on my face. I'm not sure why, but since I stopped using safeguard soap on my face, I've always had pimples.
This has been the last order to arrive late. That is why I dislike using a ninja van as a courier since their delivery times are so poor. When compared to Jnt, which always delivers packages promptly.
Conclusion
I'm sure I'm not the only one who was *budoled* by the 3.15 Shopee sale. Since I sold some of my sunflower crochets the last time, I bought a lot for myself this time. I'm hoping to sell some of my handcrafted items so that I can start buying again without being guilty spending. It's great to buy something for oneself that we know was made possible by our efforts. It was true as they say, "Hardwork pays off!" Thank you so much.
Typical Filipino Tito/Tita
Article #16 March 20,2022
**Hello there, everyone!** I'd want to tell you about what I experienced from my aunts and uncles. Both of my parents have siblings, and I can say that they all approach me and my family in different ways. I'm very excited for you to meet my ***titas*** and ***titos*** today.
We are conscious that some aunts and uncles are harsh to us. We don't know where they got their traits, thus we can't say where they got them. If my mother will ever be mean to my cousins, I will not tolerate it since I would not want to be criticized by my relatives, so why would I tolerate such behavior right?
Aunts are referred to as tita, tiya, tyang, and ante in the Philippines. Our uncles are referred to as tito, tiyo, angkel, and tsong. Those phrases might be used depending on where you are in the Philippines. I name them ante and angkel on my mother's side, and tsong and ante on my father's side.
**Some of my Tito's and Tita's features**
**As a marites**
Their attention is locked on you, waiting for you to fail in life. I'm not sure why they're so interested in your life; it almost feels like they're waiting for you to make poor decisions and fail. *Pagkagising palang nila sa umaga, ang almusal nila ay ang usisain ang kanilang mga pamangkin pero di nila mausisa mismong anak nila.*
**As a selfish**
Have you ever had a situation when your mother urged you to borrow something from your aunt who owns a store, but your aunt refused? Even if you intend to pay it off sooner and only needed it at the time. I have an aunt like that, but when they borrow from us, we always let them and never make them feel resentful. There was also a time when one of my aunts prepared foods by them for their birthday celebration, and I recall how they distributed the food across the neighborhood but did not provide any for us. It isn't a big deal today, but it used to make me sad when we were youngsters. I just don't understand how they can do that and don't feel any remorse. Is that typical?
**As a generous**
Of course, we also have relatives who are generous. I had an uncle that sponsored most of his nephews and nieces, especially with school finances. Not entirely me, but my other cousins who were enrolled into college, and thus were disappointed since the majority of them, including my elder sister, did not complete their courses. So when it came time for me to ask for help since I wanted to go to college, they refused to help me, maybe because they expected I would drop out sooner like my cousins. Despite my desire to get support from them, I understand that I am not a good niece in their eyes. Hahaha. I've always thought of myself as a lousy niece due to their impression of me.
Furthermore, that uncle of mine is the one we often approach since he is always eager to help. He's a soldier, so if some thugs try to harm our cousins, they'll be pressured to start behaving when they see my uncle. It always worked out since my uncle is not only a tough guy, but he also knows how to handle conflicts in a pleasant manner.
**As a judgemental**
*"oy tumaba ka"*
*"ang taba mo na magdiet ka kaya"*
*"hindi na nakikita balakang mo"*
*"dimo gayahin si ganito, pumapayat na"*
These are the typical responses I get from some of my aunts and uncles everytime they see me. I'm not quite sure why they feel the need to say that when I already know what body type I have. I am quite aware of myself since I am conscious because eating is my coping mechanism from the stress. They bring it up all the time!
One of the reasons I refuse to attend some family occasions is because of this. But I simply wanted to let you know that we will no longer allow such behavior and will learn to strike in a savage manner. *Kapag inoopen up nila yung ganon eh sasabihin ko nalang "buntis kasi ako". Para may ibang topic naman sila kung nagchichismisan. Diba? Hahaha.Ewan ko nalang kung makatulog pa sila kakaisip kung kelan ka manganganak.*
**As a sumbungero/sumbungera**
These are the uncles and aunts I have. They would always update my mother of my whereabouts. When I was in high school, I was not with my mother, and when my mother knew anything whatsoever about me that I had not yet shared with her, I knew who'd tell her about it.
Do you ever get the feeling that they didn't tell your mother to educate you, but rather to watch how upset she gets at me and how I'm going to fail as a daughter? Their motives aren't really nice, and they're simply being *sumbungera lang.*
**As a decision maker**
There is one instance in particular that I recall to this day. *"Eto hindi pa to nakagraduate ng highschool ay tatlo na anak,"* one of my aunts said. Hahaha. I was 15 years old at the time, and they already foresaw what my future would hold?
Look at me now, a perfectly lovely girl who hasn't had a kid yet and has finished senior high school with honors that their children nevermind. I didn't even realize I'd be 22 next month, but I'm still coming along nicely and earning money on my own, even if it's I am only sitting from the four corners of my small bedroom. Isn't that a satisfying retaliation?
Conclusion
I know some of you will relate to what I've written above, but I simply want to encourage you that you, we, and everyone are fine. Do not overwork yourself out of fear that something is wrong with you because your aunts and uncles are hassling you. Don't let them undermine your subconscious. Just remember that even if you have bad relatives, you also have wonderful relatives, therefore I recommend that you surround yourself with those wonderful ones. Okay? Okay!
Without Fees: Coins.ph to Gcash
Article #15 March 19, 2022
Today is a substantial day for me since it marks the publication of my 15th article on read.cash. Even though I am new here, imagine I have written 15 articles. Half a month has flown since I chose to start a blog here, and it appears that I shall be here with you for the rest of my life. Hahaha. I'm just kidding, but who knows? I'll be here till read.cash decides to terminate me. I'm hoping it won't happen since I always make sure I'm following the rules.
I've decided to share how I'm transferring money from noise.cash and read.cash to my gcash wallet. I'm aware that there is a service fee when you transfer your coinsph funds to your gcash, but I'll show you a hack that will allow you to transfer them without paying the fee. You may also transfer cash without paying a charge, but you must wait 24 hours before receiving them, which is inconvenient if you really need them right away. If you're interested, keep reading to find out how to transfer money without paying a charge as soon as possible.
Since mga kapwa ko pinoy naman ang interested dito dahil tayo lang gumagamit ng gcash, magtatagalog nalang ako para maexplain ko ng maayos. Ayos lang ba?
Bago ang lahat, siguraduhing meron ka ng babanggitin ko bago tayo magsimula:
**Verified Coinsph Account**
**Verified Gcash Account**
**Verified Shopee Account**
Need po natin ng mga yan dahil ang process ay Coinsph to shopee to gcash. Kung katulad ko kayo na hindi iniistay sa coinsph ang funds and laging naglilipat, hindi ba at malaking kabawasan kung every trasnfer eh mababawasan ng 10 pesos. So kapag 10 times ka na nagtransfer, edi 100 na ang nasayang. Ieexplain ko detail by detail para madali lang maintindihan, maybe some of you have already know it but let me share padin.
Coins.ph to Shopee
**Step 1:** Go to you Shopee App on your phone.
**Step 2:** Go to shopeepay wallet.
Click niyo yung nakaencircle. Yan yung shopeepay wallet niyo. Make sure na meron at verified ang inyong Shoppepay, dahil kung hindi ay hindi niyo din ito maililipat sa gcash niyo.
**Step 3:** Click the top up.
**Step 4:** Click the coins.ph e-Wallet.
Since sa Coinsph nga ang ililipat, yun ang inyong pipindutin.
***Note:*** *Need po 50 pesos and above ang top up.*
**Step 5:** Input amount.
Ilagay niyo na po kung magkano ang ililipat niyo, minimum of 50 pesos para approve. For example, 300 pesos.
**Step 6:** Input your gmail account name.
Need din ito para magnotify ang nitop up ninyo. Hindi naman siya importante pero mas mainam kung ilagay niyo pa din.
**Step 7:** Click anywhere to continue.
Kahit saan na dyan pindutin para magpatuloy. Kung makikita niyo yung nakaencircle ay free ang Service fee niya.
**Step 8:** Input your Email Address/Number and Password of your Coinsph account.
Make sure alam niyo password niyo, kasi ako di ko alam kaya laging mahabang process pa lagi ginagawa ko dahil nagrereset ako. Hahaha.
**Step 9:** A text message with the 6-digit code to proceed to the Top Up will be sent to your phone. You're done when you put it on the box. You have successfully topped up your coinsph account.
Shopee to Gcash Wallet
**Step 1:** Go to Shopeepay wallet.
**Step 2:** Click the Trasfer.
**Step 3:** Click the To Other e-Wallet.
**Step 4:** Click the Transfer to A New e-Wallet.
Since wala pa kayong history to trasnfer, yan muna for now ang pipindutin niyo. Pero next time na magtatransfer kayo, di niyo na need yan instead, yung Saved Recipients na.
**Step 5:** Select Gcash as e-Wallet. Input name and number of your gcash account.
Make sure na ilagay ang tamang name and number to avoid problem in trasnferring.
**Step 6:** Input the amount of your choice.
Kayo na bahala magkano ang ilalagay niyo sa gcash niyo.
**Step 7:** Enter your Shopeepay Pin.
Oh dapat alam niyo password sa Shopeepay niyo, kasi kung hindi ay hindi pwede. Hahaha.
Wait niyo nalang sa Gcash niyo yung nitrasnfer niyo from Coinsph. and.....
**You are done!**
Conclusion:
It was only a simple hack for everyone, but it's important to me because it's difficult to earn 0.20 USD as well. Isn't it simple to transfer? If you do it, you will undoubtedly save a significant amount of money, even if it appears to be a minor sum. Never stop learning and finding ways to make your money go even further. You must be clever since being wise in a small amount means being wiser in a larger amount. Consider those little amounts and multiply them by a year. I believe you will cry because of how much it is. Hahaha.
Sand Castle or Wave?
Article #14 March 18, 2022
Another blog for another day. I want to answer to certain prompt questions. Thanks to sis @BreadChamp , I saved her article on **would you rather have a** prompt edition so I could create one for myself. I don't think I'll only answer a few, but only until the questions I want to answer run out. Hahaha.
Before I proceed, I'd want to share with you what made me happy today. Please allow for a brief commercial. Haha. On March 15, I did not get any orders from Shopee, even though they were free shipping, and then the other day, a client inquired about my Sunflower bouquet. He ordered one and also asked that a happy birthday note be written for his mother. Isn't it adorable? Then, this afternoon, there's another order. She ordered three flowers as well as the writing of a note for her mother. Lord, I only asked for one order, and You gave me more than one.
I'm usually glad when I get an order from my shop, but my heart actually jumps out if I get more than one, especially if it's three flowers in a bouquet. So greatful for today.
Would You Rather
**read minds or be invisible?**
I'd rather read minds; I'd want to know what they're thinking about me. It might be difficult to tell if someone has genuine intentions toward you and what they are thinking and saying behind your back. So I'd want to know about how people perceive me and how important I am to them.
**discover a new planet or discover cure to cancer?**
Of course, I'd rather discover a cure for cancer. Uncovering a new planet just boosts my popularity in books, but discovering a cure for cancer would benefit many people all throughout the universe. Those survivors would undoubtedly be grateful to me, and I am delighted that they will be able to live in our planet for a longer period of time.
**go to bed early or wake up early?**
I would rather wake up early. For Pete's sake, I can't sleep early. Haha. Even if I stay up late and just sleep for around 2-3 hours, it is easy for me to wake up early. Even if there is a power outage and my phone's battery runs low, I will stay awake and do something to kill time and sleep late. Haha.
**sneeze all the time or hiccup all the time**
Fun fact: I enjoy sneezing. Hahaha. I have no idea why I enjoy sneezing so much. You know what I mean? It feels satisfying. Hahaha. On the other hand, I despise hiccups. I'll do everything my Mama suggests to get rid of hiccups since I hate it. I also laugh after sneezing; I know I'm nuts at times. Hahaha.
**never laugh again or never use your smartphone again?**
Hahaha. Seriously? When I saw this question, I burst out laughing. Hahaha. I can't decide since I'm always laughing and using my phone at the same time. If I swear I'd rather never use my smartphone again, I'm not lying. I'm basically going to use my laptop because it has read.cash, noise.cash, facebook, and shopee on it. That is the only thing that matters to me. Hahaha.
**lose all of your money or lose all of the pictures you have ever taken?**
I'd literally choose to lose all of the pictures I've ever taken. Money is very crucial to me since I work so hard to earn it. It is difficult to make a living. Some may argue that it is difficult to take photographs, but I am certain that if I have the funds, I would do so again, especially if the photographs are from my travels. I'll go back and take more pictures of myself.
**be an amazing dancer or amazing singer?**
It's hard to decide one as I'm not particularly excellent at either dancing or singing. I'd rather be an amazing singer. Yes, I believe it's good to be an amazing dancer, but I'm concerned that if that happens, I'll be exhausted all the time because I will literally dance until I get tired . Hahaha. I want to be the Videoke queen in our neighborhood so that everyone has a wonderful time at the gathering. Hahaha.
**too busy or too bored?**
Of course, too busy. Boredom will undoubtedly kill me. Who doesn't want to be too busy? It shows you have a lot to accomplish and are extremely productive every day. It just implies that you have enough resources to treat yourself. I'd rather be too busy than too bored. If I'm bored all the time, that implies I'm not living my life. Hahaha. It's not my forte.
**have 10 pets or 10 kids?**
I adore children, but I don't feel I can handle 10 of them. I also don't have enough money to meet their necessities, especially because they are only children. I'd rather have 10 pets; in fact, we already have more than 10. We have three cats, four big dogs, and six adorable puppies. We currently have a total of 13 pets, which we like having since it keeps the house lively. Especially the cats, who never fail to brighten my day.
**be a sand castle or be a wave?**
This last question has a deeper meaning for me than just a sand castle and a wave. According to my interpretation, a sand castle represents someone who is achieving his or her objectives, whereas a wave of the ocean represents someone who is wrecking someone else's dream of success. In that case, I'd rather be a sand castle. I would probably the one to be destroyed rather than the one to destroy others. I simply can not imagine myself as an awful woman to others. I always prefer to have been on the ground, enjoying my life freely.
Conclusion
I hope you all enjoyed reading my blog. I think I'll do this again since answering prompt questions like this is a lot of fun. Always do things that make you happy and avoid doing things that make you sad. Okay? I hope you are all well. Godbless!
Things That People Always Forget
Article #13 March 17, 2022
Is it just me who forgets stuffs? Even though I am just 21, I feel old and infirm when I force myself to recall things. It started when I was younger because I was always forgetting things. In fact, I can't recall the names of my former elementary school friends. Likewise, I've forgotten the names of several of my High School teachers and classmates, despite the fact that it was just almost 3 years ago. This is why I keep detailed notes on everything. I also like to take screenshots of things I see online that I want to try since if I don't, I won't remember them at all.
One of my closest friends once told me that, *" Makakalimutin ka sa mga ganyang bagay pero yung sama ng loob mo sa ibang tao, naaalala mo padin."* Yes. My friends were aware of my penchant for holding grudges, but that was before. I realized that I needed to let go of things that were hindering my growth. I recall such people occasionally, but the *sama ng loob* was no longer present there.
I was intrigued as to why people forget things, so I did some research and discovered these:
Lack of sleep, medicines, alcohol, stress and worry, and depression are all causes of forgetfulness. It is not because you are forgetful that you forget your names or anything, but rather because you are unable to do things that are reasonably necessary to complete on a given day. I genuinely think I am forgetful because I did not get enough sleep each night. I have insomnia, therefore I can't sleep at night, and I seldom get 7-8 hours of sleep. You may have observed that you ask the same questions repeatedly, that you frequently forget basic words when talking to someone, and that you jumble words up.
For today's blog, I'll tell you about the things I usually forget, and I'm sure some of you may relate if we're in the same situations.
**Forgetting Names**
I always forget people's names. Not only names of people, but also names of animals, things and etc. Hahaha. It's not exaggerated, but let's say we're talking about someone we saw online, and in a few days, I'm sure I won't remember its name. It happens when I was just connected with them for a short period of time or when it was a long time ago.
I was like, *"Sino na ulit yung nakita nating maganda sa facebook? Ano na ulit pangalan ng science teacher natin nong grade 6? Sinong classmate na natin yung umiyak kasi nakaihi?"* Hahaha. If you are my friends, make sure you will tell things to me.
**Replying Messages and Emails**
Is it only me who doesn't respond to texts, especially when the messages aren't important? I remind my mind to reply when I have free time, yet it takes days for me to respond. I forgot to respond and felt bad at times. When I'm doing something and a message shows up, I peek at it and think to myself, "I'll reply later," and then I finish what I'm doing but don't remember to reply. People may think I'm a snob when I just forget to respond, but I do apologize from to them.
**Forgetting Passwords**
I think I'm not the only one who has forgotten their passwords. I'm good at writing down my passwords on my notes since I'm sure I'll forget them the next day. I have numerous accounts, including noise.cash, read.cash, facebook, instagram, shopee, and others. You know what ? I don't remember those passwords at the moment, but luckily I have the mobile number I used to create those accounts, so I can quickly reset the password.
I still have my old phone, which I can't access since I forgot to remove the password when I bought my new phone. Now I honestly don't remember what the password was. I also created a new google account, which is why I don't know the gmail address associated with that phone so I can change the password. Hahaha. I just wanna see my photos there, but I can't unlock it.
**Misplacing things**
This is one of my major issues right now. Sometimes I forget where I placed stuff. For example, I use my comb and then can't remember where I placed it. I have a lot of pens because I often forget where I put them when I need them. I once went to our auditorium for a covid vaccination dose. I packed my powerbank in my bag, but I forgot to put the cord in there as well. So, how do I use the powerbank if I don't have the cord? Hahaha. So worthless. I've already mentioned it on noise.cash how forgetful I am that time. Pens, clips, hangers, phones, wallet, hooks, and facemasks are among the items I frequently misplace.
**Entering a room and forgetting why you entered it.**
Do you ever go to the corner of your house and forget why you went there? Sometimes I walk outside our house and forget what I'm going to do when I get there. There have also been instances when I was at work and went to the grocery store and forgot what I was going to buy, so I returned to my workplace and asked my coworker what I should buy. Actually, I don't want to go back because it's too far and I'm just walking, but I don't have a phone to call them because we're not allowed to use phones while working and our phones are in the locker room. And yeah, it was so frustrating sometimes but what can we do right?
**Forgetting occasions/days in a certain day.**
When you ask me what day it is, I will literally check my phone to see what day it is. It's a good thing our phone is frequently there to assist us. Hahaha. I also don't remember my friends' birthdays, therefore I rely on Facebook notifications when one of them has a birthday on that day. Isn't it true that I'm a lousy friend? The thing is, I had no intention of forgetting theirs and I still greet them, right? Hahaha. I also don't remember how long I've been on read.cash, but fortunately I included dates and article numbers in every article I wrote, so I'm still on track.
Conclusion
Yes, we forgot stuff, but it wasn't on purpose, so don't hold it against us. We get forgetful due to a lack of sleep, therefore be sure to obtain at least 6-7 hours of sleep each night. However, if your situation worsens day by day, consult a doctor to get your condition checked. We might be able to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
Is there a medicine for forgetfulness? Because if there are any, I will buy one for myself. Hahaha. That's all for today's blog; I hope you enjoyed it.
How Can You Make Yourself Happy?
Article #12 March 16, 2022
God is truly amazing, since I was unable to complete an article today due to a lack of time. I have so much on my plate right now that some of them have to be dropped from my schedule. I'm glad I noticed sis @OfficialGamboaLikeUs 's new article since now I'll be able to write one. Thank you sis, you are a life saver. Hihi.
I love to answer questions so I will answer those questions from @OfficialGamboaLikeUs 's newest article. Let's start?
1. Name someone that means a lot to you and why?
Phouca
Simply because he is my partner in crime. Just kidding, he's my lovey. He is precious to me not just because he is my boyfriend, but also because he is my bestfriend. I have a large number of friends, but none of them want me to be their best friend. I am always referred to as a close friend, but not a bestfriend. Phouca has always been there for me; he never left me, even when I wanted to leave myself. Haha. Isn't his name pretty cute? His late mother is the one who came up with his name. They often ask him what the meaning of his name is, which is very cute because he cannot answer those. Haha.
I'm not sure if he's still on me because I've been irritated with him for the past several days. I'm always starting fights for no apparent reason. I'm like that at times, but I'm not proud of it.
2. What is your hobby? Why do you enjoy it?
These several months I am into crocheting while watching drama from different countries.
I started buying crochet materials last year because I kept seeing them on my tiktok feed. I decided to try them on, and voila, I'm now a champ. I made quite a few of these. You may view my handcrafted crochets by reading my article from a few days ago. I made bucket hats, purses, an alcohol pouch, a butterfly top, flowers, and other items.
While crocheting, I enjoy watching dramas such as kdrama, cdrama, and movies from my own country, the Philippines. If I'm crocheting anything in a hurry, I'll watch a Filipino or American movie so I can understand the plot even if I'm not looking at the screen. But when I'm crocheting and not in a rush, I'm watching with subtitles so I can understand what's going on. I'm multitasking even while I'm crocheting and watching Movies. Hahaha.
These are the example of my handcrafted crochets.
3. How can you make yourself happy?
By making what I love which crocheting and sometimes listening to music.
I'm constantly happy since I know that being sad isn't helping me. I'm done being theatrical about myself. I'm no longer concerned with what I can't acquire or reach.
To answer the question, I make myself happy when I don't have anything to do throughout the day, I am just sitting on my bed and crocheting something while watching kdramas and eating snacks. It also makes me happy to listen to my favorite musics. I'll actually listen to them till I get back to myself.
4. Are you holding on to something you need to let go of?
No, I don't have any.
Not because I am perfect or anything, but I am quickly irritated by anything if I allow it to enter my mind. I let go of my grievances towards someone who had previously hurt me, not because I was trying to be nice, but because I just want to live peacefully, and I know I won't be happy if I have those grudges.
5. How do you show people you care?
It depends on the people that I care.
If it's my boyfriend, I'll literally tell him that I care about him and that I'll help him with whatever difficulty he's having, and that we'll solve it together. But there are moments when I am the problem. Hahaha.
If they are my siblings, I will lend them money if they need it. Nonetheless, they will repay my money because I worked for it. At some point, I simply assist them in getting past their financial difficulties.
If they are my friends, I will ask them what is going on with them and if they are having any troubles. I will not abandon them and will listen to them continually. That is how I will express my concern for them.
6. How honest are you with yourself right now?
It is always a hundred percent.
I am always honest to everyone, so how can I not be honest to myself? I am sometimes the one who let people know when I have done something wrong to them. I'm not sure why, but I always feel guilty, and I don't want to be lied to. They told me not to do anything that I wouldn't want them to do to me. That is something I believe in. Being truthful to myself is the only thing I want to offer to myself.
7. What good habits do you need to reach your goals?
Maybe a good mindset and consistency?
Because of my mindset, I always fail to get anything I desire. I sometimes do things without thinking about them and always fail. I need a positive mentality and, of course, consistency to achieve my goals. I did not achieve my goals due to a lack of consistency. Hopefully, I'll be able to start being consistent today. Hihi.
Thank you for reading my article today. I hope you are in a good day today. Hihi.
Expensive Things that I bought Online
Article #11 March 15,2022
Online shopping today plays a significant part in our lives. It is a virtual store that allows us to buy things we desire or need even if we are in the four corners of our house. Consider the possibility that we will no longer be obliged to go outside to purchase our necessities. Simply tap your preferred device and install an online shop application, and voila! You may now browse up and down till you find an ideal for what you're looking for within your budget and quality.
For me, my one and only online shop that I will use is Shopee. Shopee is fantastic and easy to run even without assistance. As I was curious who was the founder of Shopee, I searched it on the internet. I found out that the Founder is **Li Xiaodong**, they call him **Forrest Li**. He is Chinese Singaporean billionaire businessman, who wouldn't be a billionaire if you have your own application for shopping that is growing fast all over the universe. But aside from that, he is also the founder of Garena. As I've discovered, Garena is basically an online game developer of free games that is headquartered in his country which is the Singapore.
I used to believe that Shopee was exclusively available in the Philippines. Hahaha. Only Amazon is an international online shopping application that I am aware of. Shopee is currently available in 13 countries: Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Poland, Spain, Brazil, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, Colombia, Singapore, Chile, and Thailand.
The expensive things that I bought Online
Disclaimer: This is what I can tell you is expensive or costly.
I'm not rich, so if you think what I bought was cheap,
sorry eto lang ako. Hahaha Charot.
**Laptop**
For the record, that was my most expensive online purchase yet. In fact, I ordered it via Facebook's marketplace rather than Shopee. I was able to purchase this with the use of my BCH on noise.cash and my income in Sunflower bouquet that I am selling. What I could afford was secondhand, so when I spotted a listing on marketplace, I quickly chatted with the seller. It costs 8300 pesos (158.40 USD). Because the shipping fee is so high, the vendor and I agreed to meet in person. The LBC costs 1200 pesos (22 USD), which I cannot afford. So I decided to travel from Tarlac to Manila to meet her in person. One reason is to see if the laptop is suitable for my job as a virtual assistant sooner. Hahaha. *Nasasayangan sa shipping fee pero nagawa pang mamasyal.*
I guess I saved money through going there rather than paying 1200 for shipping. I still can't believe I'll be able to afford it because 8300 is a lot of money for me.
**Paperang P1**
Last year, I purchased this on Shopee with the profits from my small business. I intended to buy this beforehand since I could use it to print my waybills when someone ordered from my shop on Shopee. In my last blog, I said that I sold my Paperang in order to buy yarn for crocheting. This is what I'm talking about. Yarn has been important to me since that time. I'm still disappointed since I purchased for that paperang with my own money. I paid 1500 for it with sticker paper and sold it for 1000. I simply have to get over with it.Hahaha.
**Portable Sewing Machine**
I also purchased this on Shopee. If I'm not mistaken, I paid 1300 pesos for it. I had the small sewing machine since scrunchies were one of my previous small businesses. Last year, I learnt to sew because I wanted to sell scrunchies. I'd want to have this one because it's more functional than the smaller one. The small has only one stitch, while this one has 12 and is less loud when used. Actually, the money I spent for this was received from my partner. When I mentioned that I wanted this since it may be helpful for me, he handed me some money to buy it.
Ang thoughtful niya saakin, kaya sabi ko sakanya kapag siya na talaga makakasama ko in the future, isa sa business namin is magtatahi. Hahaha.
**Yarns for crochet**
If we total up all of my yarn purchases, I think those yarns are more expensive than the three I listed above. In this photo, you can only see what I bought when I first started buying yarns, but it was a lot more now because every time there is free shipping on Shopee, I order at least two cakes of yarn.
Milk cotton yarns and indophil yarns may be seen in the photo. I also have mercerized monaco, soft polyester, and fine cotton. Hahaha. I enjoy collecting them even if I only use a small portion of them especially the milk cotton and polyester yarns.
The yarn I used in my Sunflower Bouquet is indophil, which is less expensive than the others. I chose this type of yarn because I want to offer my Sunflower yarn at a reasonable price so that I may sell more of it.
I still have more to share, but I don't believe it's too costly now since it's under $20. I simply wanted to let you know that I classified them as pricey since I worked hard to afford them. I use my own money, which I have been saving for months, and I have not been tempted to buy my wants before.

The Love of a Father
Article #10 March 14, 2022
*I want you to become a doctor so you can treat my disease.*
My Papa has always persuaded me to be a doctor so that I can treat his health. Diabetes was the cause of death for my father. He died in 2014 because his body could no longer bear the pain.
I'm still puzzled as to why the title is The Love of a Father, considering that I rarely witness his love for our family when he's living. You'll find out at the end of this article.For the time being, let me show my wonderful sponsors; you may also read theirs. Please take the time to look into their account.
When my Papa was still alive, he dealt with an alcohol and cigarette addiction. He drank every day, and he even sold all of his harvested veggies to purchase alcohol. What I recall is that he forced us to sell those veggies in our area, and we couldn't say no because he would get angry with us. Dad once commanded that we sell unripe bananas to the neighbors, but my elder sister refused, so he became enraged and hit my sister. It is not hard, but the fact that you may hit your daughter just because she refuses to sell and purchase alcohol for you is. I felt really bad for my sister at the time, but we just disregarded it and like nothing had happened.
My Papa is far from a perfect father figure to us, yet we still treat him nice and adore him. One thing that he said that I still remembered was, " *Mali ko nalang lagi niyong nakikita, di niyo man lang nakita yung nagawa kong tama. Sa sampong nagawa ko, siyam don ang tama pero yung isang pagkakamali ko sa sampo padin nakita niyo."*
We are deluded by the impression that our father is terrible because of what he does to us, but little did we understand that he is only suffering from his sickness. When he accidentally shot his right foot, he developed symptoms of diabetes. He does have his own gun at the time because our uncle's occupation was repairing firearms and other weapons. He accidentally drops the gun, which lands on his foot and bangs! Since then, the wound on his foot has not recovered. We later discovered that because he had diabetes, it is difficult for him to heal a wound. My papa is in too much agony, and the only thing that would make him feel better is to drink at least one bottle of alcohol. Since then, he has been unable to work and has been isolated to our home.
My mother is the one who supported our needs. My Papa started planting veggies, and we assumed it was to help my Mama, but he merely let us sell them so he could purchase alcohol every day. I recall how difficult it was for my Mama at the time; she was always outside working and earning money to put food on our tables.
I'm not attacking my Papa; I'm just letting you know when someone is unwell or has a condition, he or she will be obstinate and will try anything to lessen their misery. Now that I understand my Papa, I am no longer angry with him for hurting us, especially my mother.
Now I'd like to tell you about a positive side of him when he's still healthy. His work include finding a client to harvest mangoes or any other plants or fruits. It's like though he's the go-between for the buyer and the owner of a certain fruit. Every time he has a client and receives a commission, he always buys us tasty dishes and gives us money to spend in the store..
The birthday of mine that i celebrated with a lot of food is when i am 7 years old. My papa rented a videoke and there are so much of food. There is just a time that I have a handa on my birthday. He is make me go with him when there is a family gatherings to his side. There is also a time that my mama at papa got separated and we decided to go to my mother's side parents and live there. My papa persuaded my mama to go home with us, my papa always go to my grandparents and they decided to be back. But the thing is, me and my sister are already enrolled in that place so they left us there to finish the school year and go back to our hometown after.
We are not rich back then but we are so happy. I remember my father that always joking about our food. When we are eating he always rising his voice and tell us to get the friend chicken or lechon in the table well in fact our ulam is just noodles and tuyo. Hahaha. Those moments made me smile when I am reminiscing those moments.
Whatever my father's mistake to us, I will still choose him as my father. He may not be perfect but I know that he loves us very much. he just acted like that because of the pain that he is holding. I know he is in the better place now. Did you know that he stayed only 5 days in the hospital and suggested that he may go and get well in our home.
The night he died, it was still clear in my memory. It was 8 p.m. when I got home from my part-time job as a vendor. Because it was a fiesta in our town at the time, I had to work as a part-timer to earn some money. I called up my mother because I noticed my father is in pain. My mother went to our Papa's bedside and asked as to what was wrong. He still seems to be in pain, and my mother told my father, "Hingi ka na ng tawad sa Panginoon, kung hindi mo na kaya, isurrender mo na ang sarili mo Sakanya. Patawarin mo na yung mga nakagawa ng kasalanan sayo." My Papa's response is simply a nod. He can't speak, but my Mama knows he wants to tell her that he has already made that decision and is ready to surrender his life to the Lord. My mother noticed that my Papa wasn't moving after a few minutes. We confirmed that he died at 8:24 p.m. on May 23.
We are shocked since we are not yet prepared to lose him at that moment. We didn't sleep that night and didn't sleep again till the next day. I'm still in anguish since I didn't get the chance to tell him how much I adore him. But I know he's with the Lord now.
This was my father when he was drunkard. Haha. You can see it on his eyes. In the back you also see his vegetables. This is the only picture of him that we have since we don't have phone to use that time.
Closing Thought
I recommend that you tell your mum and father how much you love them till everything is over. Regret is always at the end, and there is nothing we can do about it. My Papa's love will always be the sweetest for me. So now I constantly show my mother how much I love her and make her happy. She deserves all the love in the world, even though she is becoming childish. Hayst. Hahaha.
I hope you enjoy my blog today. Thank you for the time. Chao!
Personal Development
Article #9 March 13, 2022
Are you having a good time in your life these days? Did you ever wish you could turn back time to your childhood because of the difficulties you are currently experiencing? Are you still immature and don't feel like you're progressing in any way? Do you believe you can now control yourself when you are at your most enraged?
I decided to write an article about my previous subject back when I was in Senior High School, specifically in grade 11. I believe some of you will be able to relate to this. This was my favorite subject; I truly enjoyed it because I believe it helped me improve a lot.
This subject focuses on activities that can help us develop ourselves. It is not only on yourself, but it also helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, where you excel, and how to control yourself in challenging circumstances.
Before I continue, I just wanna flex my lovely sponsors. Check their profiles,
their articles are all amazing.
I used to think that this subject was uninteresting because you just had to read long paragraphs on various life situations. But I was wrong; it also thrills me because the subject teacher is one of the coolest lecturers at my school. He is superb, and if he is your teacher, you will genuinely understand the lesson. When your teacher is good at teaching, I bet you will learn more.
Personal Development focuses on five areas: mental, social, spiritual, emotional, and physical. I remembered my teacher explaining it separately. I'm going to tell you what I've learnt on that matter.
My teacher instructed us to draw something that represented us and express it in front of the class one by one. What I drew was a pencil with an eraser, and my explanation was, *A pencil with an eraser will be used to represent myself. I believe I always made mistakes that I did not mean to make. I want to be able to be a better person by erasing those unintentional faults and correcting them. I will also remove all the times in my life when I had not been okay in all of the problems I faced. Looking back on my life has made me so unhappy that I still carry a grudge against certain people. I wish to forget such memories so that I can be happier today and tomorrow.*
My teacher explained to us that he made us draw those things so he could get to know us better and see how we express ourselves. He also made the learners recite in front of the class so that those students who don't have the guts to speak in front of the class would be overcome.
Self Knowledge
What do you think about self-awareness and its benefits? It is basically a self of one's own character, abilities, skills, and emotions. The best thing about knowing yourself is that you are not easily irritated when someone tells you that you are lousy at mathematics when you know in your mind that you are good. What are the perks of understanding oneself, in your opinion? The first is that you will be happy when you can express yourself. You can make a better decision. For example, when you go to college, you have two choices. The first is that your aunt will pay your tuition, but she will decide which course you will take, whereas the second option is that you have been granted to a scholarship for your chosen course. I'm sure you'll pick a better choice for it. One of the benefits also is self-control; when you are aware of yourself, you will know what motivates you and what does not. That way, you can avoid the circumstances that cause you to do something negative, but you can also control yourself. You should also know how to say no when someone asks you for something. When you are not comfortable with anything, it is okay to say no. Don't force yourself to do things that go against your preferences. When you actually know yourself, you might be happier and more satisfied with your life.
Ways to improve yourself
**Overcome you fears**
Try to face your fears and slow down your pace. Whatever your hesitation is, you must overcome it. If you're afraid of socializing, discover different acquaintances and hang out with them. Don't push yourself, but you must in order to overcome your fear. You can also socialize with them by participating in tree planting or other activities in your neighborhood or school.
**Make reading a habit**
We are all aware that reading allows you to enhance your knowledge while also calming yourself. When you read, your mind is focused on what you are reading rather than on what you are contemplating. Because most people are into technology, try reading articles and tales on the internet. You will undoubtedly be better at thinking than before.
**Observe others**
Take advice from others. Watch your idol's vlogs. Your idol is surely an influencer, and you may learn a lot from them. Observe their personalities and attitudes, as well as how they succeed in life, and develop an insight of it.
**Write a journal**
You should try to write a journal in order to proceed. Write down whatever that comes to mind so that you can remember what you did. That journal will show you if you're doing the best thing for yourself. You can count on it. On that piece of paper, you can sometimes express yourself.
Closing Thoughts
I hope you learned something new from my article today. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please share your thoughts about it.
Thank you sis @Bloghound for sponsoring me. It inspires me to make more articles here. Hihi. Thank you po ulit sis.
Cutting Toxic People
Article #8 March 12 2022
It is simple to suggest that you should eliminate someone out of your life, but it is not that simple in reality. You cannot effectively cut them out of your life, especially if they are friends, family, or relatives. Yes, if the person you want to cut is a friend, it is easy for me, but if it is a family member or relative, it will be difficult.
In life, whether you like it or not, there are those people who will act nicely in front of you while backstabbing you nonstop while you are not around. This commonly happens within your compound, in your school, or, worst of all, in your humble home.
Many individuals are perplexed as to why cutting someone is a negative thing. It's fine with me as long as you realize that person is bringing you problems in life. To be honest, I'm also anxious of cutting them. It feels unethical to remove them from your life because you know it will only make things worse. But why did we genuinely think that?
When I reminisce on my younger years, I act as if I am already old. Haha. But, yes, I sometimes overhear our neighbors insulting my mother. It's heartbreaking, but it always happens in our neighborhood. I'm not sure how they can talk to my momma sweetly when they're stabbing her. I told my mother about it several times, but she merely told me not to think about it. She also asserted me that those who gossip about you when you're not around are the ones who can't stand or reach your level. That is why it is challenging for me to speak negatively about someone because it is a hint that I envy them.
Back to my main point about eliminating toxic people. It's alright, darling, specifically when they're ruining your mental health. You shouldn't have to explain why you cut them, regardless of your relationship with them. It is their problem to discover why you remove them. You would be under no obligation to disclose yourself to them.
When I was in high school, especially during my senior year, I met lot of friends. I had no idea that some of them were going to turn against me. I'm not sure why, but it could be because I'm too bossy to them. I once got into a fight because I overheard someone making fun of me. It wasn't a particularly intense moment, but I recall it vividly. I don't know for how long I've been oblivious to how they mistreated me, but I've always lowered my pride just to be with them. I was overly powerful at the moment, but I am incredibly weak when it comes to friendship. I'm afraid of losing them because school and friends are the only way I can address my problems in life.
However, I have a feeling that losing them will empower me. When I am not with them, I will be more mentally healthy. I did cut some of my pals, but strangely, some of them haven't given up on me. They treated me even better, assuring me that they are my friends and do not belong to those who backstabbed me.
Believe people when they say that at work, you must work and then go home. You should not befriend your coworkers since you never know when they would betray you. I recall one of my coworkers envious at me. When we're together, she's very kind to me, yet she keeps talking back to me. I only found out when one of my coworkers told me. As a result, I no longer trust my coworkers. I cut that sham friend out of my life. I don't think I'll ever talk to her again. She once inquired as to why I had stopped going to have a lunch with her during our break. I made her discover what she had done to me in order for her to have a conscience. Fortunately, the pandemic occurred, and I did not see her until today. I'm not sure if she apologized for what she did to me.
Closing Thought
Do not afraid of losing someone in you life, unless you want to lose yourself instead? If they don't respect you and you caught them backstabbing you, you should consider dumping them. Do not allow them to do whatever they want to you. Enjoy your own company; you'll be fine.
Flexing my sponsors, you should read their articles. It will be worth it I swear to you.
