@melsiebelsie Life advice

Strive To Be Happy Are you familiar with the poem "Desiderata"? I first heard it when I was in High School. Not from my English class, but from one of the Grade School classes competing at a choral recitation during English week. I think my sister was in one of those choral recitation groups that time. I remember getting intrigued by the title especially because of how those grade schoolers slowly pronounced it, syllable by syllable, at the beginning of their recitation…

@melsiebelsie Crochet & handmade craft

September WIPs No More I've mentioned in my introductory article of my tendencies to start projects that I eventually abandon, unfinished, because of laziness and procrastination. Although I was talking about blog sites in that article, the same can be said for my personal craft projects. I don't call them abandoned projects anymore. I call them WIPs (works-in-progress). Because, although they're unfinished and kind of stuck in a box (or in a corner) undisturbed, I still…

Better September Indeed! Good morning! I'm writing this in the early hours of October 1st because I just couldn't sleep lol. I wrote in my August report how my first month of trying to earn BCH wasn't as successful as the ones who started alongside me. But I'm glad to report in this article that September did get better for me (yaaay)...but not right away lol. https://read.cash/@melsiebelsie/the-ghost-month-was-my-first-month-b50cf1e5 Let's start with my ever so short and…

Surprised to see a sponsorship from @scottcbusiness ! I remember commenting in your sponsorship thread a few days after I started here on read. Really appreciate the support! Just in time before September ends. ❤️

@melsiebelsie When I was a kid

Ondoy: Our First Time Experiencing Flood It's been raining on and off again these past few days. Then, remembering that it's still September, traumatic memories of Ondoy flashed back in my mind. It has already been 12 years since it happened but the memories are still there. I quickly searched through read if anyone had written about their experience and the first article that popped out was by @yhanne . She was at work when all the flooding happened. Imagining getting…

The mechanics are simple. https://read.cash/@Theodore/giving-away-my-1-week-full-amount-salary-in-readcash-aede4b7c Unfortunately, he had to create a new profile ( @Caleb07 ) because his account was mysteriously tagged as spam.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no. If you use Tiktok a lot, you'd be familiar with the song my title for this article is from. I chose that title because of a stupid mistake I made yesterday huhu. I was supposed to write about it last night but bebe and I fell fast asleep after watching KMJS. Both of us were sleeping so soundly we didn't even feel the house shaking from a magnitude 5.7 earthquake that happened at around 1am. We're all safe don't you worry. I hope everyone is.…

@melsiebelsie My family

Two Weeks Out Helloooo. I'm baaack! I don't really have a good explanation as to why I wasn't active here at read (huhu sorry sponsors), except that we went to stay at my parents' house for over a week. Speaking of sponsors, please check out their profiles! Ever since the pandemic started, J (my husband) and I decided to schedule a stay at my parents' house for at least one week of every month. It was just so that my family could spend time with mi bebe at first because…

@melsiebelsie Crochet & handmade craft

I'm sorry for not being active these past few days. Will just finish a few crochet projects this week and I'll be back in no time huhu. I'll write an article about these projects when I get back. Will be back to making chika again soon!

@melsiebelsie Dear Diary

C-Word Paranoia Free writing this at midnight while bebe is asleep. I'm heeding @bmjc98 's advice from my August report article to start with publishing four articles per week and then, when I get the hang of it, try publishing every day. So here goes. https://read.cash/@melsiebelsie/the-ghost-month-was-my-first-month-b50cf1e5 It was really a gloomy Sunday because of the rains. Waking up, I was surprised to see that it was already 10:50AM, which is way past our usual wake up…

Uy sis @Bloghound ! Thanks for renewing and upping your sponsorship. September really is starting to get good hehe. I always appreciate your encouragement and support. ❤️

@melsiebelsie Health & the body

Good JAB to us, family! Written on Sept. 10, 2021 at 11pm Yey! We now have a fully vaccinated household! Despite the heavy rains the other day, my husband (let's call him J) went out and got his second dose of the Moderna Covid19 vaccine. He's the last one in our household to get fully vaccinated as her sister got her last dose of Pfizer the day before. Although we still have to abide by health and safety protocols when outside (wearing masks, face shields, social…

@melsiebelsie Dreams I had

That Time I Dreamt How a Pacquiao Fight Would End Scientists still aren't sure what the real purpose of dreaming is. However, they do have theories. According to this article, dreams may be there to help you process your emotions (like a therapist), to help you get ready for future threats (like with nightmares), to help your creative juices flow (song ideas, movie ideas, etc.), or to help you store memories better (more info in the linked article).…

If you're like me, I bet you have already added your prospects to your carts months ago and you're just waiting for the right timing (or the right discounts) to finally check them out.

I documented a few of those regrets in my article last month…

The Ghost Month Was My First Month I see that it has been tradition for a number of writers here on read.cash to post updates about their goals every end of the month. Although I didn't have much monetary progress, I don't want to miss out on this trend so I'd like to give an update too. By the way, I'm writing this on my phone (which I'm not used to) so pardon me if my thoughts might not be as coherent as usual. From Noise... I was browsing through Facebook when I saw a…

@melsiebelsie History

OPM: Original Pinoy Musicals I hope it's not too late to participate in @LucyStephanie 's Philippine History Month Challenge! In celebration of Philippine History Month, this challenge was made to feature things about the Philippines' past that we can be proud of. Being a fan of movies, music, and theater, I chose to talk about a few (and the only) Filipino musicals I have watched. Filipinos are traditionally musical people. This is evident in a number of musical displays…

@melsiebelsie Married life

Our Un-TVshow-worthy Love Story Before I got married, one of my best friends told me that he'd nominate my and then-bf's love story to be shown in "Wagas", one of the shows he worked for when he was still here in the Philippines. It was a TV program that featured stories about real life couples overcoming their relationship's up and downs. I always just laugh his suggestion off because I know our story wouldn't pass the media's watchability test. If shown in a storyline…

@melsiebelsie My friends

PWES: My Memories of Getting Drunk with Friends More than a week ago, I commented on @Pichi28 's Chill Drinkin' a SunRise on a Sundown about how I miss drinking. The colors of the drinks posted on her article reminded me of the random drinks my friends would try to concoct whenever we had drinking "sessions". Then, as if by design, I began seeing articles about experiences (good and bad) that authors here in read.cash have had when they were under the influence. I first saw…

@melsiebelsie Learning a language

Getting Better at Speaking a Language Learning a language is like learning how to ride a bike. You’ll feel awful and embarrassed in the beginning because you’re not used to doing it. But with enough practice and persistence, you’ll definitely get better at it. I used to be an oral communication instructor at an English training center and those were the lines I would start each batch of classes with. This reassures my students that it’s never too late to get better at…

Reviewing My Budol Finds Nabudol ba kayo ng 8.8 sale? Me? I can safely tag myself (and my wallet) safe from this madness...for now. For some reason, I didn't feel the urgency to check out some of things I have in my online shopping cart, which has hundreds of items and is never empty (see screenshot below). I think my exploration of noise.cash and read.cash in the past few days distracted me from checking my online shopping apps and buying stuff I didn't need. So thanks…
