"All for the Sake of the Baby"
*Knowing the truth about my pregnancy was considered as one of the best blessings I have ever received this year so far. And I am very happy to share with you that I am currently on my second month of pregnancy.*
________________________
How are you my dear brothers and sisters all over this wonderful community? What's up? Its exactly one week yesterday since the last time I have posted a blog in here and for sure, a lot of things were happened during that long days that I was not around which I missed. Am I right? But I guess, most of you will understand my personal excuse/s for not making an update in a day. *"I really hope so."*
Anyways, moving on with the main topic or "Chika" about my personal life's stories and experiences this past days, like I said, my tummy is now on its two month. I actually posted some photos on "my day" (facebook) which I found not necessary but still I kept it on. Lol.XD. Some were still thinking that I was just making a prank but later on realized that it wasn't and they finally sent their congratulatory message for me, for us.
Two of the main reasons why I have posted such photos was to celebrate the second month of my baby inside my womb and being happy to know that I don't have a *"subchorionic hemorrhage"* anymore. Meaning, my baby is healthy as it is now but of course, I still need to be careful especially that its my first trimester. Well, that should be until my due date.
I was able to finished my one week medication but you know, struggle is real. Along side with the said medication was to take multivitamins plus iron supplements, folic acid, vitamin B complex, calcium plus vitamin DΒ³, drinking milk for pregnant, and maintaining a proper hygiene and eating nutritious foods. And all of that, *"I am not used to it."* But I have to.
Talking about the medication for the hemorrhage, I really don't like the taste, its bitter and I don't really like the smell of it. And that goes the same with the ferrous sulphate. More than that, I kept complaining about the taste of the milk. I actually asked my OB if I can change it, *(another reason was because I get an upset stomach)* but she insisted not to because like she said it is very good and suitable for the baby. So she just advised me to lessen my consumption. Instead of putting four tablespoonful of the formula, she told me to put two or three only and add more water to it. But she strictly advised me not to forget that I should drink it two times a day. Of course, I should follow what my OB says for the sake of this baby inside my womb.
As a matter of fact, the struggles has been payed off. With God's loving grace and mercy, hearing a very good news had happened. I undergo under session of ultrasound to see if there's still a bleeding inside, but there wasn't anymore. (I'm over the moon!) My OB also said that my baby has a normal heartbeat, its grows normally, and as of today, its nine weeks and six days already.
Final Thoughts:
I know I am still far from the complicated stages of this pregnancy journey, that is why I should be prepare for the following months to come. Of course, everyone of us here are looking forward for a healthy baby to be delivered normally very soon. Pray for me guys!
That's all for this blog. Thank you so much for your time!
xoxo <3<3<3

"Confirmations from My Obstetrician and Gynecologist"
***Its been said and done!***
***My doubts and fears were totally gone.***
***Hearing the positive result made it so clear.***
***I really can say,*** *****"I am pregnant for real!"*****

Hello my dear brothers and sisters in this wonderful community.π€ How are you? It took me a while again to pay visit here. My sincere apologies for I have used my whole time taking care of the important things in the real world, especially about pregnancy matters.
What's up everyone? I guess, I have missed a lot of important events happening around in here.
Anyways, I will not hold it for long, I welcome you all for my today's personal stories and experiences time.
Last March 31 of this year, most of my closest facebook friends got shocked from seeing "my day" featuring the photo of my first ultrasound. Some said that it could be just a prank especially that its April fools month. But I replied them saying that its all true.
`[The result is based on sonographic findings]`
Before getting the result of that ultrasound, it took me almost the whole day waiting for my turn to get inside the clinic due to lots of patients waiting there too. It was a "first come, first serve" service kind of clinic. So, we don't have any other choice than to wait for our turn. I've got the fourteenth number in the line. Glady, I have my parents with me, the reason why I was able to hold out my patients too. I actually felt sorry for them for they also suffered from the long line. My papa got sleepy, same with my mama. But I am very happy that they really made time to accompany me there and wait for long.
To cut the story short, I was entertained around 3:30 pm already. Aside from the long line, what's taking it more long was because one of the patients was on labor. Good thing, I was still able to be called out before the cut off time which was 5:00 pm.
When I get inside the clinic, one of the nurses checked my temperature, my blood pressure, and my weights before entering the next door of the clinic were the OB is waiting. Then after taking everything, I was being called. The OB asked me about what I want to consult there and I said that I want to seek confirmation if I am really pregnant. She took my personal information. After that, she told me to change my under garments to take an ultrasound test.
She put an apparatus inside my private part and confirmed immediately that **there is a blessing inside. That I AM REALLY PREGNANT**. Its just, I really need to be more careful because there was this so called *"minimal subchorionic hemorrhage"* that was found inside my womb. After which, I take my undergarments back and she prescribed me medicine that will help the bleeding stop to be taken three times a day for seven days. She prescribed me two kinds of medicine along with the other supplements, milk for pregnant, and feminine wash for pregnant.
After the giving of prescription, she asked me to get a laboratory test- Urinalysis, RBC, HBA1c, and CBC. I was worried especially that I have a history of Urinary Tract Infection but its needed. Thanks be to God, my test results are all good so I was not able to take the next test which is the "papsmear" test. I just need to complete my seven days medication and take another ultrasound, hoping that everything will be fine then, to be taken this coming April 10, 2023.
My OB advised me to take a rest for a week while taking the medication. That's one of the reasons why I am not around anytime of the day. I am really looking out for myself more now, knowing that it costs us a lot, especially with Rhed. I bet some of here are familiar with this clinic;
Final Thoughts:
For the pregnant women out there, it is really best to seek prenatal care so that we can know the do's and don'ts of our pregnancy and to know if there is a problem inside our womb to seek immediate medication/s for the betterment of our baby inside us, to ensure that our baby will grow healthy, so as with our health.
That's all for this blog. Thank you for spending your valuable time.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!π

"Two Lines"
**What comes in your mind when you hear the words,** ***"two lines"*****?**
**Do you have any idea about it? I bet, a lot of people in here have the same idea as I am right at this moment especially seeing the** **lead image** **being used for this blog.** https://pregnancytestbeb.blogspot.com/2020/05/two-lines-on-pregnancy-test-means.html

Hello everyone!π€ How are you my dear brothers and sisters in this wonderful community? Inconsistency? Yes, I guess most of you are used to it now.
Anyways, what's up? How's life? For sure, I have a lot of stories and experiences you have shared for me to read then. Where I have been? Well, honestly I am just here in my comfort zone. Intentionally becoming this kind "lazy froggy" like being because of both expected and unexpected situation that I am into.
In you happen to read my previous blogs, I have shared with you about my unusual experiences. I am talking about my *frequent headaches, feeling exhausted,* and my *nauseous moments* especially when I'm done talking my meal. However this previous days, it happens during the time that I went on a bath.
Talking about expecting to be in this situation, Rhed and I have discussed this matter when he was still at Manila, before he took his one month vacation last February. Every now and then, we talked about having a baby but at the same time, talking about the consequences of having one. You know, I still don't have a stable financial sources and about the fact that Rhed also having plans of putting up a business, of course, it will surely affect everything. Well, as what he said, *"Let's see what happens and surely God knows what's best for us and if we will be given, then its a Blessing for us Love."*
On the other hand, I am not expecting to be in a situation like this because I think its too early. You know, Rhed and I were just in our ten months relationship and its kind of fast thing to happen. Aside from that, I was really thinking that it will be hard for me to conceive because I was then an athlete and I am not attentive enough about my physical being. But, ***God is really amazing***. o:-)
I am expecting my monthly period to fall off during the first or second week of March this year because I do have a regular visits. I exactly count the days before the expected visit but it didn't come. So, I told Rhed that I got delayed and then waited for a couple of days after but still it doesn't. Then here comes this unusual things that happens. I felt so tired even I don't overdo things at home. I felt sleepy any time of the day. I've got a sensitive smell, my stomach feels bloated and being nauseous.
Then, I've got delayed for two weeks already so Rhed and I watched some videos about early signs of pregnancy and about taking a pregnancy test. It says there that the best thing to take one is when you have two weeks delayed or more than that. Rhed persuaded me to take one after but I told him that it may be better to take it a month. But he insisted. So, I went to town last Sunday to buy a pregnancy test kit. I bought two kits actually. Then yesterday around 12:20 in the morning, I took my first test. And the result,
I've got two lines.π± I immediately sent the photo to Rhed saying that its positive. I hardly went back to sleep after that because I can't stop thinking about it and about how am I going to tell this to my parents. Rhed and I had a video call around 8 am yesterday and took about the result. He actually told me to speak out to my mama but I was nervous. We even had a misunderstanding. But, after taking my lunch yesterday, I've got the chance to talk about it with my her yet still not revealing the result. I just told her that I bought a pregnancy test kit to give her the idea that I'll be taking one later on.
Earlier this day, I took my second test and it gives me two lines again which means its positive.
`[Photos presented are owned by yours truly.]`
Final Thoughts:
I am still not fully convince about it because I want to make it sure. And with that, I better go on a check up in the OB clinic then. For now, I can't tell more of the details about it. So, I'll be ending this blog with a quote,
*βBaby β A little bit of heaven sent down to earth.β* - **Roland Leonhardt**
That would be all for this blog. Thank you for reading everyone!
**TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!π**

"Little Ways but Special"
***"After all these years you are still a great Father to me and husband to Mom.***

***You are a great head of our family, I couldn't ask for an other one.***
***You will always be my Dad, my only one."***

Greetings!π€
How are you my dear brothers and sisters? Been away for another couple of days now. One of the reasons was due to *UNSTABLE INTERNET CONNECTION*, so I chose to spent the days wholely in the real world. More than that, I must say, I am unwell up until now. I still experiencing a nauseous moments, most of the time, every after my meal intake. So as with feeling tired, always feeling sleepy, and getting a mild headache. But all of these didn't hinder me to spent the day, celebrating the special day of my dear Papa.
Last March 20 of this year was his 48th Birthday. Prior to that day, my parents said that they will not have this so called, "handaan" because of our tight budget as expected. But, it will be so hard for me not to celebrate it because it only happens once a year. I've checked my personal wallet if I still have an amount for me to be able to buy some foods, to be partaken by us, together over dinner. Gladly, I still have a PHp 700 or around $12.+ dollars.
Meanwhile, that day was also ***"Ren and Rhed's"*** 10th Months as a couple.π A day before that, Rhed and I talked about how we are going to celebrate our special day. He asked me if I want to buy something for that day of ours. I suggested that we should celebrate it together with my papa's birthday then. Generously, Rhed sent me some of his own money. Not a huge amount for him, maybe, but it was really a big one for me and a big help too. ***"Thank you Love."*** <3<3<3 I cashed it out thru gcash including my money.
Together with my mama, we went to town. We bought a cake, ingredients for the pancit, some kilos of chicken meat, and others. Unexpectedly, my Aunt (my papa's younger sister) gave him a box of cake and two roasted whole chicken.
Fast forward:
We arrived home around 1 pm in the afternoon. A late lunch follows. After that, my mama started to cook the foods to be partaken at night. (We chose to have a kind of family dinner.) I assisted her in few of the works but later on said that I will go to sleep because I felt really tired and sleepy due to the hot weather too. My mama was never bored while at it because my Tatay *(grandfather on my mama's side)* came to visit us all the way from the neighboring barangay in our place.
At around 4 pm, my mama woke me up for she wants me to eat. Immediately, I get up and went to our kitchen and grab some bites together with her and my Tatay. And at around 5 pm, my papa, together with his co-carpenters arrived home. They ate and went to our stock room to grab some "tuba" or coconut wine.
The past at 7 pm. My mama told me to call out my Aunt and the other members of family so that we can eat our dinner then. Of course, before anything else, we did some picture taking that will served as this year's birthday souvenir of my papa.
`[All photos were captured using my phone.]`
After the partaking of foods, I bet you know what comes next...Its karaoke and dancing session.π€πΊ
Final Thoughts:
It may be a simple kind of birthday celebration but knowing that we made my papa's special day a really special one and seeing his genuine smiling face while being with us and with his friends, that I think made him very happy. Of course, I am very happy that I am a part of it. So as being to to Rhed for sharing his blessings and most of all to our God Almighty for another year of my papa's life here on this very earth.
That ends this blog. Thank you for your time.
Take care! <3<3<3

"Take a Leap of Days"
***[******Lead Image******]*** https://www.pinterest.com/pin/742953269748826017/
Feeling the guilt again. For I took another leap of days without posting a blog. I really don't know what's happening to me right now. I felt tired, bored, and demotivated to go on for the day. As a matter of fact, I just literally scrolling out phone without any purpose of doing my side hustles.
Earlier this day, I woke up very early. As I look at the time, it was still around 3 am in the morning. Unusual thing did happen to me since this past few days. I woke up this cramps and a bloated stomach.
I also felt like I was sick. It may be due to my delayed period. Counting it, its been a week and three days already. I chatted Rhed earlier than expected, saying my good morning greetings and spent another time scrolling on tiktok then charge my phone after.
My body feels heavy but I still try to get up like how it used to be. I got tired of doing my laundries but I still have to do the rest, so that I don't have anything worry about. I also helped doing little house chores like cleaning the house and washing the dishes, so as preparing food.
Meanwhile, after few minutes of doing so, I felt a back pain all of a sudden. At certain moments, I felt nauseous too. My mother noticed it and even teased me that I might be pregnant.
Mind you, I also have that kind of thinking right now but I don't want to expect that much this time because I don't want to get disappointed again. More than that, after eating my meals, I vomited. Anyways, enough with that thing already. *"Baka ma-intriga pa kayo lalo."* Kidding aside. XD. I am just giving you a justification why I was not around for four days now.
As expected, when I open my account again, my notification got blown with lots of it. I was kind of envious but at the same time, amazed with you my dear brothers and sisters because you really made the week be completed with an everyday blog. Wow! On the other hand, though I was not around, I am very happy and thankful for the random visits of Rusty in my previous blogs and the given upvotes from my other generous friends. Still, I must say, *"I am not in zero (0) balance."* Every cents that being received by me through my read.cash wallet means a lot to me. So, **"Thank you to all of you."** (bowed)
I don't have any intentions of prolonging this blog for now because my main reasons for writing is to share a brief update about what is going on about me in the real world. So, I will end this blog for today by saying, ***"Thank you for spending your valuable time. Happy Friday to all and have a great weekend ahead."*** <3<3<3
MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE.π

"Keep Going and Save Up!"
Happy New Monday to all of you my dear read.cash brothers and sisters!π€ How's your first day of the new week? I hope you have a great time and safe as always.
For many years had passed, I always thought of having a "****Savings****." But I always ended up not realizing this thing. I was once been able to do it but at the end, I'm just throwing out my piggy bank with a little amount inside of it, especially when I am short in budget.
I regretted spending a lot in the last two years for I was thinking that my earnings will be stable. But unfortunately, it doesn't. Now, I am struggling when it comes to financial matters. But still grateful for I was not in zero (0) balance. ***A one piso coin is still a money***, right? (β β§β β½β β¦β )
Last January this year, one of my resolutions is to start saving a little amount when I still have one to save. However, due to the last February's Fiesta Celebration, I forcedly withdrawn the money that supposed to be put in my saving e-wallet for I really want to contribute an amount for the expenses here in house. So, it left me with no other choice than to use it all. Gladly, when Rhed took a one month vacation, he was the one who really initiate to pay all of our food and travel expenses. In addition to that, my Godmother from Canada gave me some money. I spent some of it for my wants and needs. Same as sharing some to my parents and I also used the remaining for other matters. As of now, I have few in my wallet, so here today, I decided to put it as a starting point of my ***"Ipon Challenge."***
To start with, I look for an empty bottle of 1.5 liters of cola to be use as my "Alkansiya" or Thrift Box, instead of spending some to buy one at the store. I just wrapped it with a white tape so that I can invisibly see what's inside, for me to not count the money I put in it. It may just trigger me to get some if I will see that I earn a lot. Lol.XD.
I grabbed my wallet after, and see how much I can put inside. And I got these.
Yes, its only few because you know, I only work as a side hustler. What matters to me for now is that I started realizing what I always plan of doing since then.
After that, I sealed it with the bottle cap and put a date.
________________________
Meanwhile, the remaining money I have now in my wallet is this.
I know its hard to budget that few amounts that is why, I am trying to hustle and grind for more. Hoping that at the end of this week, I can gain at least $10 dollars in total from all the side hustle jobs I'm working on, especially in blogging. Well, let's see what we can do. ***FIGHTING***!πͺ
Final Thoughts:
Money Matters to me. I will not deny it anymore. So, I would like to ask your cheering spells to pass it onto me. Kidding Aside. XD.
Seriously, please give me encouragements to strive for more fellas. It will surely help me a lot.
That's all for this blog. Thank you for spending your time.
ciao.
xoxo <3<3<3

"Making the Most out of It"
***The last time I've checked, it been two weeks had passed since I have posted an update of this platform. And I felt really guilty for not hustling for that long days...***
________________________
Hi! Hello!π€ How are you my dear brothers and sisters of this wonderful community. How's life been doing so far? I hope you all are having a great time and safe as always.
I've missed our interactions here. I've missed everything! To tell you honestly, I've been roaming around here but kept on missing and letting the day go off without a blog for the reason that I am busy spending most of my time, creating precious moments with my boyfriend Rhed. I am making the most of it because for all you know, he only have a month of his work vacation. As a matter of fact, yesterday was his flight. I am sad but at the same time, I don't have any other choice but to accept the reality that we will be in a long distance kind of relationship again.
With regards to our bonding moments together, I will not elaborate each one of them for I may make you feel bored if I will write it all in here. Instead, I will just share it you with brief details of it. The last update I've made was our extended Valentine's Day celebration together with his younger sister. At that time, we went to ***Maison de Clarke***.
The following days from that get away, we went to a newly opened food house at town and tried their *****"Unlimited Chicken Wings."***** The place is called, ***"Westside Bistro."***
There were those times also that we are just spending it together at home, but mostly, we went to theirs because we don't have a wifi here in our house. And Rhed, just want to chill and relax while on his phone, watching videos and doing other stuff. Same with spending a simple monthsary day at their house and went for a road trip too. But of course, we actually go out the next day.
Then it came to this day that I have experienced this one of a kind event. Actually, a first time of mine. Together with Rhed's parents and his sister, we went to their fish ponds and went fishing. We caught some big and others small fishes for our viand that day.
At this point, here's to another ordinary day for two of us we spent at their house. We grabbed some fried siomai and potato fries while watching YouTube.
Another one was this photos of us taken at Baywalk Hilongos.
Fast forward to his last day of vacation, we visited the ***Monghe or Adoration of Mary*** at Marangog because the last time we come to visit the place was way back 2014. Nine years have past already.
After which, we went to town and grabbed some Halo-Halo and Buko Tart at ***"Buccoo."***
Our last stop was at ***Katipunan***. Yes, same as last year. Before he took his flight the next day, we visited this place together. We took few snaps of the beautiful sundown of the place together with his younger sister this time.
Then and now...

Moving on to my side hustling journey, I have been engaged to new apps and sites. I have came across this so called, *"Digiwards," "Quiz King," and "Novelah"* Apps. I also joined *"Temzu," "Kicbi," and "Bondex."* As of this moment, I am not into *Cashrain* anymore because for as far as I know, I was not given a chance to win even only one jackpot. I still didn't withdraw any amount out from this apps and sites actually, but hopefully, all of these are legit ones.
With regards to blogging, I am still into it but not consistent anymore. I have posted few times at *Hive* but unfortunately, I am lack when it comes to engagements. I really just focus on enjoying my life in the real world with my family and of course, with Rhed. As for this time, I am hoping that I will be back for good even though I will start from the beginning.
*Final Thoughts:*
Amidst my consecutive absences in this platform, I am very much grateful to the people, especially on my one remaining sponsor in my sponsor's block.
"Thank you sir for keeping your support."πββοΈ
And here's to a little celebration of mine for reaching more than 10,000 views on my previous blogs!π
"Thank you so, so much everyone for the love and support!"π
I will not make a promise. Actually, its not my thing of making promises. Instead, I will do the best I can to be on track again.
That would be all for this blog. Thank you so much for reading my read.cash family.
"Let's keep this platform, ALIVE and KICKING!"

"Extended Valentine's Celebration"

________________________
Peace and good health to all of you my dear read.cash brothers and sisters. Happy Friday to one and all!π€ How's everything around here? How are you? Another week comes to an end again. I am so unproductive in here. I'm still stuck in the moments of my past weeks living in the real world. But I should come to my senses now. That I should sink it to my head that, I should stop fantasizing and be back to the reality.
Anyways, let's get to the main topic of this blog already. How did you celebrate the 14th day of this month. I mean, how's your Valentines day went? Have you give or receive your Valentines gift to or from your love ones?
Mine...?
Due to bad weather condition, we didn't have this ideal kind of Valentines day. Like a date, or receiving a surprise like a rose or a bouquet, a chocolate, or a stuff toy. During the day, the rain just not giving us even a little hope to be with each other to celebrate the special day. I stayed at home and same goes with Rhed. We even had a little misunderstanding. Lol.XD. Late afternoon came and the rain then stopped. Rhed kept on insisting that I should come to their house then. Because he was kind of mad at me, I took courage to be there. His mother opened the door for me and called out Rhed that was lying on his room at that time. Later on, he came out and we spent time together on their living room.
After a while, his mother called everyone in the house for dinner. I was very nervous. At the same time, I just feel embarrassed. But Rhed, pushes me to go for it. I mean, he really was the one who calms me and then, I was able to join their family dinner for the very first time. After dinner, we spent time to have a karaoke and around 10 pm, he took me home.
The next day...
Together with his youngest sibling, we went to Maison de Clarke. The original plan was to have a family dinner again but his parents refused it because of some personal matters. At the end, only three of us pursued the plan.
Fast forward, we arrived at the place and immediately went to the counter and order some food. Rhed chose one "bilao" of foods while his sister, chose to eat fries and a dish made out from a chicken meat.
After they ordered, the personnel gave us the table number.
It took a while so we decided to take some pictures.
`[photos were captured using Rhed's phone.]`
Then the server started to fill our table with plates and other utensils, followed by the foods ordered. Of course, we didn't miss the chance to take pictures along with the foods there. His sister took us pictures before we decided to start partaking the foods.
`[photos were captured using Rhed's phone.]`
To tell you honestly, we spent an hour or two, I think, to try finishing all of the foods but we didn't able to make it. So, we decided to bring the leftovers at home.
After eating, Rhed went to the counter and payed the bill. Before we left the place, his sister took few photos of us on one of the best spots of the area.
`[photos were captured using Rhed's phone.]`
________________________
Before going home, we went to Metro Supermarket because they bought some groceries for their house. After which, Rhed withdrawn some of his money and finally, decided to go home.
We arrived, I think, it was around 7 pm already. The rest of the night, we spent it here in our house and around 10 pm, he decided to be at their house for bed.
Final Thoughts:
*It may not be the kind of Valentines day which I am expecting it to be. But still, what matters to me is the time and experiences that I spent with him. More than that, I am very thankful for having the chance to spent time his family as well.*
That ends my blog for today. Thank you for reading everyone.
MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE!π
He's Finally Home!

**Greetings everyone!** π€
How are you? Happy New week to one and all. Aigoo! Its been a week since the last time I have posted a blog in here. What's up my read.cash brothers and sisters? What's the latest?
I've got a tiring and a busy days in the previous weeks of February, especially the second one due to the annual celebration of our Barrio Fiesta, giving thanks to our Lady of Lourdes. You know, our team have joined the Barangay League that comes in a double elimination type of tournament. Well, to cut the story short, we didn't manage to be in the top three teams of that said league. But, still it was a great experience for all of us.
Moving on to the topic of this blog, though the eagerness to share the story is at most high, but due to other matters that hinder me to make it, I wasn't able to do so. But here today, I have given the time to do now!
Most of you here, especially those that became my avid readers already knew about me and Rhed, and how our relationship went through, despite the fact that we are one of those that are on a long distance kind of relationship. The main reason for that is due to Rhed's work. And for your information, this kind of relationship is not really easy, especially when you long for his love and affection personally. But, as what the quote says, "If you truly love someone, distance will never be a hindrance." I am very happy to have someone like him, since he never make me feel that we are apart from each other. Even in his busy days, he never miss to make an update and ask about how am I doing in here. This kind of routine everyday works for almost nine months now. Imagine that long months of waiting. And then here comes his decision to file a vacation leave. [Meema, excited ako sobra!(β ββ β½β ββ )]
Then just this last February 09 this year, his finally at home. *"Yay! Happy ako siyempre."* At that time, I was at our barrio proper because we had our battle for third place. Like I said, we lost the game. *"Di bale na, basta nandito na siya."* After our game, we went to house because I changed my clothes and spent a little time together before we went back to our barrio.
The next day, he went to our house and helped one of my papa's friend in cleaning the pig meat. Fast forward, he went home to helped his parents then, while I helped mine two. More on assisting my mother. But actually not in all the things. At around 7 pm, some our visitors already arrived. And here comes the problem, all of a sudden, we experienced a water supply shortage and a brownout. Thankfully, the brownout didn't last for long. But the water came back the following day. Good thing, my mama was prepared for it. But of course, the things should be done smoothly if everything is functioning well.
At around 9:30 pm, Rhed and I decided to prepare ourselves for the night's Disco. But due to the bad weather we didn't enjoy that night. But with each other's side, I must say, its more than enough already. Prior to that, he gave me a gifts like a ring and a necklace. As what he says, *"it suits your outfit for tonight."* Of course, as a remembrance, we took some pictures together.
On the fiesta day, we watched the championship game of Volleyball Women's Division together.
After which, together my dance group, we went to the venue of the coronation night to have our blocking and our final practice, while Rhed watched the Finals of Mens Basketball.
During the night, we again, attended the night's Disco. This time, we really had a memorable time together with our friends.
________________________
Final Thoughts:
As of this day, we still didn't think of spending time together, going on a date, or something especially that the weather is not good for today. Maybe, in the next days ahead.
Time is precious for us. Lalo pa't isang buwan lang yung bakasyon niya at babalik na naman siya ulit sa Manila para magtrabaho. Aguy! May maiiwan na naman.
That would be all for this blog. Thank you for reading.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!π
As I've checked my account, oh no! Its already five days since the last I have posted a blog in here. π±
How are you my read.cash brothers and sisters? My sincere apologies for taking so much time. I was really busy for our barangay fiesta celebration then. Well, I will surely make an update of why I have said so.
Thank you for your kind consideration. May God bless us all! BLESSED SUNDAY EVERYON!ππ€π
"Sports Tournament officially Started"

Peace and Good health to all of you my brothers and sisters in this wonderful community. Happy New Monday to one and all. How are you?
Ugh! I've wasted three days to possibly get an extra earnings again. I was kind of sad but on the other hand, when it comes to living life of how I want it to be, I must say, it's worth the risk. Risk in the sense that I willingly gave up my chance to earn a bit more in here to be able to enjoy my life in the real world.
Last February 01 this year, the hosted Barangay (our Barangay) posted an info regarding the Sport Tournament to be held of the said place in connection for the upcoming Fiesta Celebration of St. Lourdes. The same day, one of the committees, made a gc (group chat) for all the participating teams from the different barangays who are invited to join the said tournaments, both Basketball and Volleyball *(Mens and Women's)*. But of course, only representatives were allowed to join the group chat to minimize unnecessary conversations. Then the following day, they called up a Briefing session in which the participants were given of instructions and other necessary informations needed related to the tournament.
Starting with, last February 3 this year, the Volleyball Tournament officially started. Of course, the best strategy for us to know the opponents is to watch how they play inside the court. Well, I didn't spent the whole time watching especially that I am on my period, so, I went home after few games and took some rest.
*Rain or Shine it may, the game still continues...*
We decided to divide our team into two. One as "Team Sk" and the other as "Team Nanay", its because they told us to do so. Given the fact that we also have many players, that way we can also give chance to other players to participate especially the new members (amateur ones). As for the Mens Team, they decided to only have one entry.
Team Nanay lost in the first game. As for the boys and ours, we were able to gain one win each.
During the night, other teams from different barangay had their games under the moderate to heavy rains. Well, in that case, everyone agreed about it already. The type of tournament is Double Elimination.
On the fifth day of February (yesterday), the Basketball tournament also started. This time, the type of tournament is Single Elimination which means, if the team losses the game, they will automatically out in the tournament. Each teams were eager to wins, but only those who got the advance skills and scores more will gain the winning spot. ***Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take some photos this time.***
Earlier today, the Basketball games continues. The boys team here in our Barangay didn't able to make it. At 2 pm today, the Volleyball games also continues in Women's Division up until 5-6 pm.
Then, the rest of the night were scheduled for the Mens Division. But, I decided not to watch because I felt really tired and cold. The rain keeps pouring, so I should really just stay in bed now and spend time with Rhed.
Final Thoughts:
*Sports really gives me the comfort especially the most favorite one that I love to play which is Volleyball. For now, we are waiting for our game schedule but we also knew our next opponent. This is one of the teams that we always dream to win against of. The Hitudpan Volley Hitters.*
That would be all for this blog. Thank you for spending your time.
MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE!π

"Without His Presence"
BN1|02.02.2023]

________________________
HAPPY HEARTS MONTH everyone! <3<3<3
Even in this month, the longing of his presence is still inevitable. It feels like he is just in the corner or roaming around, waiting for the right timing for his ultimate come back. I can't control myself sometime of not thinking about him and show my sentiments, especially that he has been a big part of my journey as a crypto blogger. Yes, you are right. I am referring to our green bot, Rusty. I guess, most of us did miss him anyways.
BUT... without his presence, I've got to realized things and changes happended that I find better way than before.
Change is Constant!
When I finally been able to get Rusty's attention, I became so complacent about earning huge upvotes apart from the given upvotes from the other generous users. With that, I just keep using my earnings in whatever things I like to have and not saving up for future purposes. Buy here and there kind of habit. Amidst knowing that the market fluctuates, I didn't expected the sudden fall of crypto, up until the major sponsor of this site left and the tipping of Rusty literally became elusive at times. And then it came that made everyone got shocked when he bid his final goodbyes.
Rusty's absence on this platform has also proven the quote, *"Change is constant."* A lot of changes had happened sideways. I've got to learn that I should pay attention of how I use the earnings I have gained and may gain in the future. There's this now a part of me that became more eager to earn and save up. Every little cents that enters in my wallet are of much importance to me now. That, I am now became more careful of what things to consider as wants or as needs.
More Active and Quality Engagements
I have noticed that now a days, users of this platform became more active and have quality engagements. Well, I am not saying that this didn't happened before, but now, this kind of activity became more so evident. The conversations gets more interesting and worth spending of time.
More Generous people came in
Ever since the day that Rusty was all gone, I never imagine that someday there will be someone who came into to take his place. Not just one, but more and more. It may not as huge as Rusty's, but with their presence in a regular basis gives us writers more motivation to go on with our writing journey in here. I happened to gained huge sponsorships for staying here. Recent upvotes were just unexpected surprise for me. With that, I am very much grateful for having their presence in my blogs.
Final Thoughts:
*It may sound cringe but yes, I am indeed became more hooked in this platform. I may not become consistent anymore but rest assures of my presence here and there, (may with a blog or in the comment sections). I am learning to live my crypto blogging journey in here as lively as possible and exert more effort to come come up with a quality content to share here with you all.*
Life must go on. So, be it!
That would be all. Thank you for reading. (β β§β β½β β¦β )
PRAISES AND GLORY BE ALL TO GOD!
Happy Feb-ibig Month everyone!π€β€οΈ
Just done doing my laundries. Kind of tired but here I am waiting for my group mates for our Dance Practice later on.
I will be a little busy for the rest of the day but hopefully, I can still give time to publish a blog for today.π
By the way, let me take this opportunity to thank @ewyr for the surprise visit on my recent blogs. "Thank you so much for the upvotes."πββοΈβ€οΈ
"A Recap for January 2023"
N13|01.31.2023
*Lead Image*
________________________
Happy Tuesday to all of you my read.cash brothers and sisters! *(Hugs and Kisses)* How's your last Tuesday of the month been doing so far? Here in our house today, I was kind of busy doing some household chores. I was actually planning to do my laundries but aside from the weather changes, my mama did theirs, and if I will force to do mine too, we will be out of hangers then. Probably, I will just do mine the following day. Hopefully, the sun will go all out the next days ahead already. Anyways, let's proceed to the topic that I will be going to share with you today my readcash mates.
Its been a while since the last time I made a blog about my side hustling jobs' journey for a month especially of how my read.cash went for this month. A while ago, I was desperately thinking of what to write and publish in here and I just remembered that today is the last day of the month of January, so I decided to make a quick recap of my progress. And with that, I welcome you all to my blog...
For this month, I started a blog with a title, ***"New Year, New Beginnings"*** which accumulated a total amount of $5.30 in Bitcoincash. The next blog entry I published comes with the title, ***"Lost in Track"*** which accumulated a total of $0.52 in Bitcoincash. The third blog comes with the title, ***"Oh Read.cash, Please don't bid Goodbye"*** accumulated a total amount of $0.91 in Bitcoincash. The fourth one comes with the title, ***"Affected by Price Hikes"*** accumulated a total of $0.36 in Bitcoincash. The next blog entry I published comes with the title, ***"Feast Awaiting"*** which accumulated a total of $0.47 in Bitcoincash. The sixth blog entry I published was, ***"Business Proposal."*** This blog accumulated a total of $0.80 in Bitcoincash. The seventh entry I made for this month of January, comes with the title, ***"I Can't Grind Smoothly"*** that gained a total of $0.22 in Bitcoincash. The eight blog I posted in here with the title, ***"They Deserve Love and Care Too"*** accumulated a total of $0.54 in Bitcoincash. As for the ninth one, I made a blog with the title, ***"Best Days of my Life"*** which was my entry for Sir Bob's hosted Readcashrain Event. This entry got a total of $3.59 in Bitcoincash. It was one of the biggest amount I have gained for this month On the tenth blog, I published it with the title, ***"If Fate will Take me There"*** that was again a blog from the given topics by Sir Bob. This blog gained a total of $0.33 in Bitcoincash. And here's this eleventh blog that comes with the title, ***"My Desired Course"*** that I discussed as a continuation which accumulated a total of $0.28 in Bitcoincash. Then yesterday, I published my twelve blog with the title, ***"The Rain didn't Stop the Fun"*** that accumulated a total amount of $0.52 in Bitcoincash.
Including this one, I only have thirteen (13) blogs for the month of January.
Meanwhile, I have gained two New Sponsors for this month. With all honesty, these two people have given me the biggest sponsorship of my entire read.cash journey so far. That is why, I am very grateful for having them in my sponsors' block- Sir Bob or @Coolmidwestguy and Sir @AnonSunamun .Of course, I will not leave this other one sponsor I have that didn't leave me up until now, @aaskelter . The three of you really made me so happy. Thank you for your support and generosity. More than that, there's this one person that always present in the upvote section, sir @Telesfor. Though he didn't leave any comments in it, but the huge upvote he gave for my entries really made me so grateful. Aside from that, I also gained some Bitcoincash amounts from leaving comments in the other blogs.
For this month of January I have gained a total amount of $25.49 in Bitcoincash including the huge upvote I have gained from @ewyr.οΌΌβ (β Β°β oβ Β°β )β οΌ
And I very thankful for this blessings especially because I badly needed it for I was the one that assigned to provide a budget for the ingredients and seasonings that will be used this coming Fiesta celebration here in our Barrio. You know, the price of onion and other ingredients really costs much this days, so I need to save up for this. I really want to give even just a small amount for my parents. Hopefully, I still can gain some more before the Final day comes and the Crypto market will keep going upward.

On the other hand, I have joined a new platform called ,"***Rougee***" which I have discovered on Twitter. Some of my readcash friends here was there too. I can't still say much about the platform but staying there was fun too. I remembered reading a blog from Sir @Amjad_Ali_Waince a while ago with regards to how to add a custom token at 1inch wallet in connection to this platform. I am still on a bit of confusion when it comes to the withdrawal process but I will make time to learn, of course. So far, I have gained $8.16 dollars in rougee coins in here.

If we talk about my Hive blog journey, nah... I don't have any good thing to say because I am not doing well on that platform for this month. Lol. XD. As for my Bitcoin Cashrain I only gained $3.26 in Bitcoincash for this month.
I am not lucky when it comes to winning the jackpot. Being said, the winners are just randomly selected. Aigoo! Well, despite the fact that I didn't win huge amounts there, I am still happy with every little cents that came inside my wallet other than gaining none (0). Aside from that, I also made a Cashrain community there and for the first time, I also give away few amounts of BCH there.
Final Thoughts:
I must say that this month was like a roller coaster ride to me. But despite the struggles I went through, gaining this amounts I have in my wallet so far is blessing that must be thank of especially from the generous people here and there. THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT EVERYONE!π₯°
That's all for this blog.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!π

"The Rain didn't Stop the Fun"

________________________
Happy New Monday my dear brothers and sisters of this wonderful community!οΌΌβ (β ^β oβ ^β )β οΌ Its the last Monday of the month already. Look how fast is that! How are you, by the way? For sure, lots of you here will be busy again for school and work. Me? There's nothing new about my daily routines. Just the usual, for I don't have any other means of income rather than doing a side hustle jobs online. (Sighs...)
If you happen to read my blog that comes with a title, ***"Feasts Awaiting"*** I have mentioned there different dates of Fiesta Celebrations that will be celebrated for this month. One of the Sitios I have mentioned was Sitio Patag that celebrated their annual fiesta on January 28, 2023. And that happened last Saturday in which unexpectedly, I attended to. https://read.cash/@renren16/feasts-awaiting-fec499af
Its been months already since our little barrio experiencing frequent rains. As for Mr. Sunshines' presence, it can only be counted by hand. The rains stops for a while, but pours out again and again. From moderate to heavy ones. But despite of that, it didn't stop the people to have fun while celebrating the said Fiesta. Of course, its been part of he culture that there will be games or leagues to be held in times like this. The main events were Basketball Men and Women. Yes, the events' organizers decided to have Basketball game both in men and women because the hosted Sitio don't have players for Volleyball game especially the women's division. Aside from that, the sponsors of the said event also wanted that this game should be the one to play of. Four days ago, before the Fiesta day, my teammates decided to join the game. The members are mostly on the Team Nanays (Mothers) and few among the Team Bagets (Youngsters) joined to create a team as the participant. As for me, I didn't join them because I don't want to be soaked in the rain waters and I still didn't tell Rhed about it. Of course, I don't want to end up with a fight afterwards.(β β§β β½β β¦β )
Fast forward, with the luck on their side, they won their first game which allows them to move forward in the next round. As decided the top three teams picked out numbers to indicate which team plays against each other. The team Nanays picked out number 3 and with that, they automatically advances on the Finals or the Championship game. As for the Boys Team, same with Team Nanays, they also advances in the Championship game.
Meanwhile, in connection for the upcoming Fiesta Celebration here in our barrio, my sixth grade teacher pleaded me to lead the SK presentation together with my group before including our third grade teacher before that was actually our first dance mentor. Of course, I will embarrass myself if I refuse her request then. So, I said that I will try my best to contact the group. In addition to that, I also asked some of the boys and girls Volleyball team to participate because, "The more, the merrier!" (Full story will be on a separate blog. So, stay tune!)
One of the group asked me on our gc (group chat) to teach her the actions to familiarize it and it will also serve as our dance practice then. But since she still needs to travel from her place to ours, while waiting for her to arrive, we decided to watch the Championship games on the said Fiesta first. To my surprise, around 1:30 pm, she arrives already but we didn't proceed to the dance practice, instead, we go with the original plan to watch the games.
At Sitio Patag
When we arrived there, the game already started in Women's Division. There were lots of audience watching there. Actually, my papa was there also. One of our elementary classmate joined it so we cheered for her. Unfortunately, they didn't win the game which declared them as the Third placer. After the game, she invited us at their house to eat. "Pagkain na yan, di talaga tatanggihan." Lol.XD. They served us, "Menudo", "Pork Humba," and a lot more. After eating, we decided to rest while waiting for the next game. We took some selfies together. "Part na yan"
`[Photos from this friend on my right side.]`
Few minutes later, the next game was announced. It was the Championship game of Basketball Mens Division. Ot was a close game. Though the ball will not bounce because of the watery floorings of the playground, still the players managed to bring out the best in them to get a score. At the end, Team Cacao declared as the over all Champion while ours as the Second Placer.
`[Photos were taken by yours truly.]`
After their game, the Championship game for Women's Division follows. Each team were given 10 minutes for their warm up. And the rain started to poured out heavily. At this time, I was requested to become the scorer and my friend as the timer.
The game started with a tip off. Team Nanays played against Team Kainting. On the first quarter, Team Kainting managed to shoot three times which given them six points while Team Nanays comes with only two points. On the following quarters, Team Kainting scored a lot while Team Nanays was left behind with 6 points only.
`[Photos were taken by yours truly.]`
Team Kainting kept on scoring till the last quarter which declares them as the over all Champion while Team Nanays placed at Second.

Rain or shine it may but the people here in our community will not be stunned by it, for sake of Fun and of course, for the sake of having the chance to win awesome prizes. After that, we decided to go home and proceed to our dance practice till around 8 pm in the evening. As for the Fiesta, the Sitio have their Disco night.
That would be all. Thank you for reading.

"My Desired Course"

I don't know how to start this. I am so just overwhelmed as of this moment for the huge sponsorship I have received earlier today.
Greetings!
Happy Friday everyone! Another week comes to an end. Is it just me who noticed how fast the days gone by? I can't believe, today will be last friday of January already. *"Feb-ibig"* month is waving already my read.cash family. Gosh! γ½β (β ｑβ ββ oβ ββ ｑβ )β οΎβ .
________________________
My last blog was somewhat like a detracting kind of piece I have made and shared with you but I don't have any intention of bad mouthing the people leading our place, it was just an example for the topic I have discussed. In connection with the topic, I still have another thing I haven't done but want to do. So, this blog will serve as the second part of yesterday's.
Being able to graduate of a four-year course is a huge blessing which everyone dreamed of. But there are few who are not blessed to this kind of privilege. Despite the fact that I am one of those who are blessed to got one, there's a part of me that is not completely convince about the degree that I am holding right now. Amidst the fact that I am able to received my Diploma and my badge as a LET passer, the confidence within me was not there at all. With all the things I went through especially last year, I can say that I am regretting by not taking the chance I once had before, for me to be able to shift to my desired course. Taking risk was not in my vocabulary at that time. Even until now, I am not confident enough when it comes to taking risks in any things around me.
So here comes the desired course that I want to take of.
My mama is blessed with skills when it comes to cooking. I always have a full stomach everytime she makes any dish she likes to cook for us. My papa will even praised her cooking skills and there is Me who is kind of jealous for I don't take after her. (β β§β β½β β¦β ) Well, the thing about cooking which I struggled the most is about putting the right amount of seasonings. But I know few dishes which is simple to make though.
As what I have still remembered during my fourth year in college in one of our minor subjects before, our professor assigned us to make a journal with a topic, "*My Desires*" which allowed us to explain and bring out our personal thoughts regarding the given topic. Of course, with all honesty and sincerity, I really did write everything including the fact that I really don't want to become a Teacher because my heart really wanted to take Culinary or any course related to Food.
I am even fond of watching cooking shows on a Television and now, together with Rhed, we always give time to watch cooking vlogs and "Mukbang" videos on YouTube which we can watch together using Messenger everytime we had our "love-love time." I really find it enjoyable.

`[Before I forgot, let me take this opportunity to thank this very person who is a huge part of my read.cash journey now. All thanks to you Sir Bob for the generosity and kindness you have shown to me. Not just me, but all the other writers you have given a huge upvote recently and for the Sponsorship you rendered for us. I didn't expected this huge blessing today. Thank you so much Sir` @Coolmidwestguy `. May our Creator bless you with all the happiness in life you desire and good health.πββοΈ ]`
________________________
Going back to the our topic, I am really up to this thing. I have this thought of taking this course. But the big problem is the financial support. At this time, I don't have any guts to open up this matter to my parents because I don't want to give them an additional burden anymore. They are getting older now and right at this moment, I should be the one to take the wheel. Struggle is a real thing, indeed! (Deep sighs...)
Final Thoughts:
***"Not all the plans will happen. We cannot get ALL the things we desire."*** *As for this desire of mine, my very best option now is to learn it from my mama, herself and by taking time to explore it all by myself.*
That would be all everyone. Thank you for spending your time.
MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE!π

Peace and Good Health everyone! How are you today? Yesterday was just a lazy and a busy for me because of the things I've done at home. Other than that, I was also busy preparing for our Dance Presentation for the upcoming Fiesta Celebration here in our barrio. *(More details will be shared in my future blog.)*
Here today, I will be sharing a blog with a topic, **"Something you haven't Done but Want to."** This is another topic from sir Bob or @Coolmidwestguy taken from his hosted *"Readcashrain II Event"* last week. The thing, I was supposed to publish a blog containing all the ideas that been given by him but I decided to make a separate blogs instead. This way, I will be able to write three blogs all in all. (Hopefully I can!) Anyways,
**"Congratulations to you sir Bob, for the successful event!"**π
And without any further ado, welcome to my blog!
________________________
Politics and Governance is one of the subject being taught to us back then. We were taught about Human Laws and its Nature, the punishments if it is violated and of course, about the Society.
To be able to make all of these laws to be realized, there should be someone to stand as the Leader. Leading is a major role of the elected or an appointed person or group of people. Being a leader is not an "*easy peasy*" task to do. A Leader should be someone that can be consider as a role model and sometimes he/she/they follows what the Society's suggestions and weighs the supplications. On the other hand, for my twenty-four years of existence, I really can say that in Politics, corruption is one of the biggest concern of mine.
Well, let's not take this far, I will be revealing some of the dirty and the undesirable things happening here in our little barrio. "I may somewhat like detracting the leaders here but its just an example for the scenario based on my own opinions and observations." I bet you know, who I am referring to.
Any means of corruption took place here in our barrio. The leaders were not giving their best to make their platforms during the elections campaigns be realize. Like for instance, instead of making their people enjoy and savour the reward given by the Municipality for not having a Covid-19 case during the pandemic, they only divide the reward or the amount given for themselves. Look how selfish was that! Another incident that looks the same as this was when they divide the amount accumulated during the Execom that happened two years ago. That was a tragic thing for us, especially that we have given our part for it because they said that every household is oblige to give an assistance. What's worst about it was, they used the name of the school.
More than that, I am really disappointed when it comes to spreading news or updates to the public. Instead of giving it ahead of time, we will be most of the time caught off guard because of the wrong and late informations. Likewise when they were giving help to the people. They will kept on bragging about it or worst thing, they will up for something in return. *(Not all of them though.)*
That was just a few among the undesirable things happening around here. To sum up things, I want a BETTER change of how the chosen Leaders lead.
________________________
I am qualified to lead the Sangguniang Kabataan here in our barrio. But during the last election of SK, I decided not to register yet as a voter because at that time, I am not really fully convince to take part of it. As a matter of fact, last May elections was the second time I have joined and voted. Aside from that, I declined the offer because I focused on my studies.
Rumours were spread here and there about the upcoming Barangay and SK elections this October or December this year. I was offered to take part of it by running as Barangay Official but I am not again fully convince to accept it. Especially, it will also cost me a lot. That's for sure. Admit it or not, people will not vote for you if you will not give them an envelope containing some penny. *("Vote-Buying system")*

October 04 1998, a new child has given birth. A new named was created. A new family was built. She comes with a name "**Renelyn**", a combination of her father's and mother's name...
How are you my read.cash family? Its been a while again. Like I said in my previous blogs, "I can't guarantee my consistency to the platform anymore." The reasons of this are the lack of topics or ideas to write and other things which makes me busy for a day or two. Anyways, the other day, despite the fact that I was late for the "**Readcashrain**" hosted by no other than, Sir Bob or Sir @Coolmidwestguy , I still tried my best to left a comments, following the instructions given in there. Hoping that I can still get an upvotes of it despite the fact of being late.XD. With his kindness and generosity, I was very shocked seeing my notifications being rained with upvotes, not just from him. That kind of thing, I can already consider that as one of the best days happened in my life so far.
Then, I was able to read further regarding the topics or ideas given by Sir Bob about "future articles." I was suppose to write one of them yesterday but I've got a handful work which made me tired enough to make it. Of course, you already have the hint about my chosen topic for today's blog because of the title.(β β§β β½β β¦β )
________________________
Like I said in my comments, I have a lot of things or situations to consider as the best. So let me share it to you one by one.
Being born as an only child has an advantage and disadvantage. But I will only focus on giving the advantages of it, based on my own experiences that makes it the best.
*- I don't have a Rival when it comes to having any kind of things I wanted to have.*
*- I am able to have all the attentions I needed from them.*
*- I am able to have all their love, care, and support as my parents.*
________________________
Now, let's jump to the time when I was still studying...
Elementary Days
One of the best days that happened to me was when I graduated as a Valedictorian. Receiving the rewards of my hard works and efforts in studying is a huge blessing of mine. Seeing my parents with a huge smiles on their faces when I was on stage makes me very proud of myself.
High School Days
At that time, I was very happy to be part of the school's Volleyball Women's Team. My Volleyball career started during my sixth grade but was started to shaped up at this time. The real training started and a new team was formed.
Of course, graduating as a First Honorable Mention back then was a huge blessings as well which I considered best. I know I somehow missed my spot being at top but maybe it was really not meant for me at that time.
College Days
A lot of things had happened during my entire College life. But here are my picks then;
- Became a Campus Varsity Player for Volleyball Women's Division which allowed me to play the whole year and given me the chance to join two of the biggest school's events, *"University Games"* and *"SCUAA Games"*.
- Honing up my skills and talents as being part of MAPEH major students.
- Been able to experienced other things other than studying, meeting more people, and making friends with them.
- Been able to finished a Research Paper as one of the difficult requirements for us to graduate.
- Been able to be part of the Dean's Listers.
- And finally, been able to Graduate. (Despite the fact that it is not my chosen course.)

MORE EXPERIENCES:
*- Becoming a LET passer.*
*- Receiving my first salary as a part-time COA officer.*
*- Receiving my first profit as a Load reseller.*
*-* ***BECOMING A WRITER/BLOGGER ON READ.CASH PLATFORM*** *which started last May 22, 2021.*
A lot of things happened when Read.cash platform came into existence in my life. **NO JOKE!**
I was able to come across more people with the help of this platform.
I was able to learn new things, other peoples' stories and eventually becoming my friends, not just in the virtual world.
As a crypto-blogger in this platform, I was able to accumulate a huge amount for the first time of my life. Like, it makes me proud knowing that I was able to grasp the fruits of my labor. I can't believe it at first. It feels like its just a dream but that the real truth. I know, it didn't get a half from the other user's accumulated Bitcoincash but still I am VERY HAPPY about it. Since 2021, if only I hodl all of my entire income from this platform, I could already have almost "six digits" in our currency. Amidst the fact that I felt a little regret of not keeping some of it before because I became complacent, I am still very happy knowing that I made my family happy too.
***Out of my earnings in this platform;***
*- I was able to give a little celebration for my parents during their birthdays.*
*- I was able to share an amount for our daily needs.*
*- I was able to buy few things for our house as my souvenirs.*
*- I was able to buy things for my parents and myself.*
Furthermore, meeting my man again which got separated from me 8 years ago was the most unexpected blessing that came into my life.
And in connection to this platform, I was able to share with him about it. The two of us are now crypto-bloggers. But because of his permanent work, he wasn't able to make it this past days.
*Knowing that I am still struggling in finding a stable job, all thanks to this platform and to the people who didn't get sick of showing their support for the common writers like me, I am very blessed to have you Ma'am/Sir, Brothers and Sisters.πββοΈ Truly,* ***Read.cash platform is a Life saver!***
BUT...
The best among the best, the fact that God still given me the **Life** and **Will** to survive this fight and been able to wake up a new day despite knowing that Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, I can't thank Him enough for it.
There are still lot to consider and more to come. You know, Life is full of surprises. I look forward to it.
How about you?
That would be all for this blog. Thank you for time.
ALL GLORY TO GOD!π

"They deserve Love and Care too!"

________________________
Greetings!π€
Peace and good health be with us always my dear brothers and sisters. How are you? Happy Thursday to one and all. What makes you busy for today? Me? Not that much. Just my usual routines.
Are you fond of having a pet? What kind of pet do you have at home? How did you treat them? For instance, you will come across a stray cat, dog, or whatever it is that you will come across with, will you show them love and care just like the pet you have too?
For all you know, I am a pet owner. I have a dog that was named "Iking" by my father. He is a Aspin (Asong-Pinoy) we got from a friend of ours. I even made a blog dedicated just for this wonderful dog and how he made a great change for my life, especially of how I treat animals in any kind now.
Meeting Iking is really a blessing to me. Having him with me, most especially at home makes me feel that I am not alone. Like, when my parents went out, Iking and I are the ones being left. When I felt very sad, he is there with me. He loves to sleep in my room, may it in bed or on the floor. (β β§β β½β β¦β )
What I love about this dog is that he is very clingy and he loves cuddles too.
Because of him, I don't feel any frights when I came across other dogs in the streets, unlike before. I even felt like I have a little brother in our house. My parents were fond calling him "Loloy" (little brother/boy) especially when he is not having an appetite and when they plays with him. He is a playful dog too.
________________________
Meanwhile, one of our neighbors owned cats. Before, they only have one but because it is a girl cat, it gave birth later on and that added up their number. Everytime we feed Iking , may it morning, afternoon, or dinner, these cats will come and waiting for them to be feed too. My mama get angry sometimes because I am also giving them food. But I said to her that they **"deserve love and care"** too. They may not be ours but I will treat them like my own because I pitied them and I cared for them. My papa took my side and said, **"they also has a life like us."** After that, my mama feed them as well when she will feed Iking.
Looking at them while partaking the foods that I gave makes my heart melt. I can sense that they really are hungry for food. I don't know how they were treated by their owner but as much as I could, I will give them food if they want it. Even other dogs or cats that comes in our house too, I will feed them as well, for as long as we have something to give for them.
I really can't understand those people that will treat them like just a mere animals. Why they will hurt or worst thing, kill them? We may not able to understand them in words but surely we will manage to feel them. Am I right? That is why, I am very fond of watching videos about those people who will rescue them and really are showing and treating them with all the love and care. Most of the time, I cried, for the reason that I felt the pain they went through before being rescued.
I just can't stop imagining myself being in that situation where no one will ever give me the love and care I deserve. What will happen to me then?
Final Thoughts:
*We are all God's creation. Whatever sizes, shapes, or life forms it is. Let's try to be fair and spread the Love. Like what my papa said,* ***"They may be just an animal but they also has a life like us humans."***
Thank you for reading everyone.
ALL GLORY TO GOD!

"I Can't Grind Smoothly"

***Lead Image*** `(edited using Pixlab App)` https://geeksnipper.com/how-to-enhance-internet-speed/23122/
________________________
The scenario took place since last Sunday in the afternoon. Due to continuous bad weather prior to that day, all of routines were greatly affected. May it from doing simple house chores or side hustling on the online world. My blog yesterday was supposed to be publish on that day too but all of a sudden we experienced a brownout and with that, Internet connection was interrupted as well. So, I then decided to publish it the following day.
I thought that everything came back to its place but even though the electricity was restored, the Internet wasn't. In this case, I can't go on hustling in all the platforms I'm into. As for the blog yesterday, it took me hours just to publish it. I kept on refreshing the site because its lagged. I even thought that my phone was the problem because I can open my other social media platforms like Facebook, Messenger, and Tiktok (still didn't run smoothly). As per advised by Rhed, I turned off my phone and then restart it but still it didn't work. To my conclusion, its really because of my Internet connection.
After few hours of refreshing, I managed to publish my blog in here yesterday but I didn't manage to get engage with the other users and read other author's articles. Everytime I open my account, it will just end up lagging. It left me with no other choice but to close it so that I can't get stress anymore. On the other hand, I tried to access my Cashrain account after. The same with my read.cash account, I can't grind smoothly. I didn't even get a chance to join the Cashrain activities since Sunday afternoon up until now. "Aigoo! What a waste." (β β―β οΈ΅β β°β ,β ) "Sayang yung pwede ko'ng mapanalonan pag nagkataon. Aguy!"(β ｑβ β’Μβ οΈΏβ β’Μβ ｑβ )
Meanwhile, because I can access my Facebook, Messenger, and Tiktok account, I decided to spent my time there so that I get some entertainment. As for my FB update, I made a post, something like a rant because of this so called, "marites" around me. Some of you here took part of reacting and leaving your comments too. "Thank you for showing your love and concern mga sisterit ko. And siyempre sayo Love ko. I really appreciate it. Sensiya na kung ganun ang nangyari, gigil ako eh. Lol.XD" After which, I made a new Tiktok videos and posted it later on.
**Fast Forward:**
Late afternoon yesterday came. Rhed and I spent time together on a video call, telling him my concerns about the platforms and about the post I made on FB. I am really bothered about it. I mean, the platforms. "Sayang din naman kasi yung pwede ko'ng ma-earn dun." And here's this man, showing his full attention. He did everything just to comfort me. He even sent me an amount on my Gcash account, "para daw hindi na ako mabahala masyado sa problema ko sa platforms, lalo na sa Internet connection." He is so kind and generous to me talaga." Regarding to that amount, I still didn't use it actually. Maybe for my needs later on.
Even after that, I still didn't stop trying to access my side hustle accounts, hoping that I can run it smoothly. But, I just failed up until my phone battery is asking me to put the charger and plug it on. And for me to divert my attention from thinking about my side hustle problems, I went to our barrio proper and joined my teammates at play. To release my stresses and worries, I asked one of my teammates to give me some tosses so that I can go for a spike. Lol. XD. I spent an hour, decided to go home, had a short talks with Rhed and grabbed my dinner with my parents.
The evening came then and even after dinner, I still tried accessing my side hustle platforms again, hoping that this time I can go on hustling. But then again, I failed. So, I just spent the rest of the night talking with my love.
**Earlier Today:**
I woke up early and sent a morning greeting to Rhed. After which, I immediately go on accessing my side hustle platforms with a high hopes. I managed to open my account in here but I can't access my notification bell. I can't go on reading and replying the comments. I can't read and leave comments to other users. Ugh, this literally s*cks! Same goes with my Cashrain account, Ecency, and other side hustle platforms I'm into. Like what the... "What is wrong with this Internet connection!?" ΰ²€β _β ΰ²€
And here I am, holding out temper. Maybe, I need to look for another Internet Vendo Machine this time.
[My apologies if you find it like a rant.πββοΈ]
*Let me take this opportunity to thank* @AnonSunamun *for being my new sponsor. Thank you for your kindness and generosity sir.*βΊοΈπββοΈ
________________________
Ending Thoughts:
I firmly believed that if the Internet connection is interrupted, everything on the online world will be interrupted as well. Aigoo! If only I have enough budget right now, I will definitely have my own private Internet connection. In my case, especially that I only rely on side hustling as of now, Internet connection is really a need for me to be able to run the platforms smoothly.
*[I hope you will understand why I can't actively engage with you as of this moment.]*
Have you experience this kind of problem too? Feel free to leave your comments.
That would be all. Thank you for your time.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Good morning my read.cash family!
I suppose to start the week with enthusiasm but the Internet connection (since yesterday) didn't allow me to stay this way. Ugh! It gives me stress.π©
Well, I felt relieved then after about an hour of refreshing it. I managed to publish this blog; https://read.cash/@renren16/business-proposal-2d2ef664
that supposedly publish yesterday.
Business Proposal

________________________
Before the road widening here in our place, we used to have a mini sari-sari store as one of our source of income aside from selling my papa's Tuba or coconut wine and working as a carpenter. I was still on my college years at that time and it was a really big help to have that store for my weekly allowances and other miscellaneous fees. But after the announcement of the said road widening and repair, my parents decided to close it down and focus on finding other means of income to continue supporting my financial needs for my studies.
When I graduated college, going to Manila was one of my options for me to possibly find a job so that I can pay back to my parents. But because I was still blinded at that time *(I bet some of you knew what I mean)*, I didn't go for it. And I REGRETTED it now! Even my mama said so. Because of that, I decided to take the Licensure Examination for Teacher and luckily passed it. After which, I tried applying in different Institutions, including the private ones but ended up rejected. ***"Fate was cruel to me."***
Before meeting the platform *(referring to read.cash platform)*, I was very disappointed and depressed, feeling the guilt and regret, and about the rejections I went through especially last year in which it happens consecutively. But instead of giving up, I chose to let go the pain and move on.
Finding a job right now is very difficult!
I continued to write and publish but due to some issues and concerns, I am not that consistent anymore. I looked for other online opportunities which can give me few amounts to support my financial needs. As much as possible, I don't want to burden my parents anymore about it even though I am still living with them because I am old enough to find my own means of income. Thankfully, I am being supported by my boyfriend @Rhed.
During the Christmas season, I came across one of the featured blogs written by sir Bob or @Coolmidwestguy. *~~(My apologies for the mention sir.)~~* Instead of leaving comment pertaining to the question being asked, I then shared with him about my plan of putting up again the sari-sari store. So, as much as possible, I want to save up every cent I may accumulate whatever means it is for as long as its from a good and clean source. *(I don't know if you still remember that sir Bob.)*
On the other hand, I am very proud to say that I am now partnered with a business-minded guy. Yes! My love Rhed is very up for a business. One of reasons could be because he grown up with a business-minded parents too. Well, its not a surprise to me because I also witness of how they started. As what I have remembered, they also have a sari-sari store before and they also buy Tuba from the Tuba gatherers. They even became Tuba gatherers themselves. (*"Love, sorry na-reveal tuloy.*(β β§β β½β β¦)")
Previous months of our Long Distance Relationship, whenever possible he will surely include putting up a business in our conversations. And it became so evident just this few days ago. I also shared some ideas I've got from my mama.
So here's what we've got in mind;
*-* ***Putting up a sari-sari store*** *where we can sell different goods especially the basic commodities.*
*- Apart from selling goods, we also talk about* ***putting up a barbeque stall****. (We used to sell barbeque before too.)*
*-* ***Stock buying.*** *My mama really wanted to start up this kind of business. The stocks that she want to buy is liquor (Tuba) and other beverages.*
*-* ***Piggery****. (Rhed started this already.)*
*-* ***Eatery*** *at town.*
________________________
What we need now?
*****"Location and Capital"*****
My mama been telling me about renting a space at town if we will pursue the plan of putting up the Eatery because aside from avoiding the debtors, there are also lots of people in their. But it needs a huge capital. From the utensils, the beautification of the space, down to the electric and water bills, and the space itself.
As for the mini sari-sari store, I suggested that we put it in a location where there are lots of potential costumers. But the problem is, the debtors. Common scenario that happens here, the expected buyers will just pay in the future.
________________________
Final Thoughts:
*For now, apart from the piggery, other business plans are still not realize due to financial instability but hopefully we will manage to make it happen, little by little. More than that, I am hoping that I can contribute for* this also, especially in money matters.
**What can you say about it?** I will be up for any suggestions.
That's all for this blog. Your presence is much appreciated. Thank you and have a great Monday everyone!π€
MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE.

Hello everyone.π€ Its another Saturday. Look how fast it was! Still we have a bad weather here in our place. Consecutively, we had heavy rains. It stops in a while, but then again it poured out. How about in your place?
I suppose to publish this blog yesterday but due to power outage and internet interruption, I didn't manage to make it.
Reading the title above, I bet you already have an idea of what I am going to share with you today. Christmas and New Year Celebrations were done, so what's next?
Most of us are fond of celebrations. Birthdays, Monthsaries, Anniversaries, whatever kind of special occasions it is, we really are fond of making it special may it a simple or grand kind of celebration. Gatherings are one of the best time for the family and friends to bond and have fun while being together.
When the calendar falls to January, mostly the people here in our barrio will talk about the upcoming Fiesta Celebrations may in a Sitio or Barangay near ours. Just last January 06, 2023 one of our neighbor Sitios celebrated its annual fiesta. This coming January 15, 2023 *(tomorrow)* will be the annual fiesta celebration of Sitio Kamorina followed by Sitio Patag happening on January 28, 2023. ***But the most awaited Fiesta Celebration will be this coming February 10-11, 2023 because its the annual Fiesta Celebration our Barrio.***
The Barangay Officials are now, little by little, preparing for this upcoming event same goes with the Sangguniang Kabataan Officials, especially that they were the ones who will organize the Sports Tournaments, both Basketball and Volleyball. As expected, there will be an upcoming Volleyball Tournament for Men and Women, Basketball Tournament for Men Midget and Junior Division and I think, they will include the Forty-Uppers Division this year. Apart from that, the youth or the SK members are expected to take part on the barrio decorations, including the preparation of the chairs and tables to be use during the Disco. With regards to school-hosted events, as what I've heard, they will organize a *"Bingo Game"* where the proceeds will be for the school gym project and Dance and Amateur Singing Contest the night after the Fiesta Day.
On this day, I am expecting that there will be lots of visitors because my parents prepared for this. They raised one pig for this upcoming event. Proudly say, I contributed few amounts for us to pay for that pig. Hopefully it will grow big so that we can prepare lots of dishes later on. But I was kind of worried about the dishes to be wash off after. Lol. Well, I guess @Rhed will help me then. *"Right Love?"* Kidding aside. (β β§β β½β β¦β )
What's on our Menu?
This part, I am really the one who will request most of the menus for this celebration. Apart from the pig meat, my papa will get some carabao meat too for the "Nilaga" and "Carabao Steak" if possible. An alternate one for the cow meat. So, I told my mama that she should make my all time favorite "Menudo" and "Bas-uy." Then I also requested her to make a dish out of pork that is cook with a cream like the last time. Other than that, I don't know what kind of dishes they will prepare for that day, hopefully there will some desserts too. Well, "tamang abang nalang ako" for that day.
Ending Thoughts:
Fiesta Celebration should not just about the food and the fun it may bring. It should also be about the experiences/memories together with the people that taking part in that once in a year event. Being with people from the different places and having a good times with them over a huge Feast is one of a kind experience. Hoping for a safe and sound Fiesta celebration to come soon.

"Affected by Price Hikes"
`N4|01.12.2023`
***Lead Image*** https://www.minervaplanninggroup.com/2021/07/20/how-might-inflation-affect-your-retirement-plans/
________________________
As a daughter of a ***"Tuba (coconut wine) Gatherer"*** that still relying with her parents, I am now feeling the guilt of still not having a stable job to help them out. What bothers me more is the continuous increase of prices of the basic commodities in the market, but the buyer of my papa's "Tuba" didn't buy it at a higher price. And as for you know, my papa is not the owner of the coconut trees that he climbs up, it was my grandfathers' which means, we are obliged to give a contribution for doing so.
I guess all of us are greatly affected by the Inflation. This issue has started in the previous years, but become more evident the last year. Imagine the price hikes of almost everything that we need. The price becomes times two, others even becomes times three. *"Aigoo!"* And here's this problem, the income or the earnings of the costumers are at stake.
Like I said in my previous blog, I want to give more focus on three things this year, ***"Spend Less, Save more, and Invest."*** In the previous years, especially the last year, I am like a spendthrift- spend here and there. So, with this, what comes to my mind now is minimize spending by cutting down those unnecessary things on the list. I should buy **ONLY** the important and necessary for me to not waste any cent of my earnings as a side hustler, for now.
You know, earning money is very difficult this days. And imagine, you hardly earn the money you have but you will only have few things out from it and like a tick of the clock, the money was gone, all of a sudden. Like for instance, you earned Php 1000 or $20 dollars for a week but when you went to town and buy the things you want and need using that money, you will not notice that you only have few cents left in your pocket. *"Jusmiyo marimar!"* That is why, we should really armed with information before going for a grocery or whatever it is that we do with the few money we have on our pockets. We must jot down the things that should be prioritize first over to those that are less of importance. We should also know the current prices of the goods in the market ahead so that we can have enough budget to buy and pay for it.
________________________
Ending Thoughts:
*Self-Disciplinary actions should be of great consideration. Practical Thinking is a must too. Now a days, it is very important to really put in mind those things that should be prioritize first over our wants.*

I ended up with a short blog for today again. I am out of words to say but I think, I am able to elaborate the key points of this piece.

Never in my wildest dreams that becoming a blogger or a writer will come into a big realization. As a degree holder, I really put in mind that after I graduate, I will go on finding a job but ended up with nothing because of lots of hindrances that came my way. As a matter of fact, being rejected for several times now made me give up and let me just give more focus on other things which can give me comfort from being hopeless for the time being. Looking for a job not related to my field is my best option now.
For almost four years of seeking a job which I can consider a stable one is quite a long journey of mine already. Finding the right work and workplace at the right time for me to be comfortable in my chosen career is like a dim light. But maybe this really isn't my time to be in the spotlight.
Way back last May 22, 2021 a huge blessing came. I met Read.cash platform which truly changed my life. From being complacent in my daily routine as a house girl, I became a blogger and the guilt by not producing an outcome for a day will hit me to the bone. But what can I do, I just can't avoid this ***"writer's block"*** kind of scenario.
The hesitation was there. A lot of "what ifs" indeed came. But I didn't stop trying until one day, I was able to get my very first upvote from a friend.
Seeing that amount made me said, **"Finally, someone did notice me."**
That little generosity gives me enough motivation to try and give it some more. I mean, give more of my effort to come up with a good content and possibly get a bigger amount the next time. Eventually, I really did it! And my very reason for not stopping was because of @TheRandomRewarder . My happiness reached up to the highest skies. After several days of consistency, he finally rewarded mine.
Honestly speaking, it was my very first time to hold that kind of amount from my own sweats and efforts. My mama even praised me for getting that folds.
Later days came, down to weeks then to months, I've met many people, my long acquaintances or not. I was able to engaged with more people. Reading their stories, even their rants became a hobby of mine, especially that I really wanted to know more about them even though its just through a virtual kind of conversations. Speaking of which, I've met few fellas which became my sponsors. But most of them, I finally considered a very dear virtual friends too. I can't mention them all but all thanks to them. They made my journey here wonderful and fruitful, throughout a year.
And Rusty became more generous to me. Along with the other upvoters, he then give me the biggest upvote of my entire Read.cash journey.
Yes, so far that was the biggest upvote I have received from working in here. A year ago had past but still, the happiness I have at that time, last. Dreaming of receiving that huge amount again? Of course, who doesn't want that? All thanks to that upvote for I finally been able to repair my teeth problems that has been my biggest insecurities ever since I was a little. I successfully had my three composite filling and been able to get my dentures done.
Other than that, I was able to buy useful things for our home like the stand fan, sala set, frying pan, and more. I was very much happy because I finally been able to help my parents, especially my papa for our daily needs.
________________________
Fast Forward:
Suddenly, a sad news shocked everyone of us. Rusty finally said goodbye to us. Aside from that, the market is still a bloody red. It really makes me sad. The enthusiasm here in the platform was gone. But its very good to know that still, not all are gone. All thanks to the people like sir Bob, and my new found friends. They still make this platform alive and kicking!
I wish that the old times will come back. Oh! Read.cash, please don't leave us for good.(β ｑβ β’Μβ οΈΏβ β’Μβ ｑβ )
Now that I am hooked into this kind of work, I can't imagine myself to wake up one day without it. I know, I am not that consistent anymore, but it will be great regret of mine for not being one, if one day Read.cash will also bid goodbye.

New Monday but still felt uneasy. Upset stomach, frequent headaches, cough and cold. Worst of all, a fever. The thought of starting a year being great was not been realized. By that, I was demotivated to go on and write.
Notice my inactively for a couple of days? I bet, some of you really did. Looking at my last post, it was still six days ago. Almost a week of nothing. Both in my writing platforms, I was not there, grinding. Got an excuse? Maybe, yet I had the guilt. It feels like I was lost on what's the latest trend. What's up my read.cash brothers and sisters? Did you miss my presence around here? Or maybe it was just me, missing to be here?
I have a lot in mind actually, I just can't organize the thoughts that is wandering inside my head. *"Dami ko din kasing ganap sa totoong mundo eh, okasyon dito, okasyon doon,"* Aigoo! I don't know which should I prioritize first. I think, something was not right in here. Or its just me, thinking that there's something wrong, really.
You may find it boring, but still I will go on. Hopefully, you spare me some time to here me out more. I need a motivation right now. Something or someone, anything to be precise.
Topics are there. Ideas are there. But why can't I start writing then? Maybe rest is needed for this. But no! I had enough with it. Imagine the long days I was gone, I had enough, enough for me to get up and start working again. I'm broke. I only had few cents. *"Jusmiyo marimar," 2023 just started, but here I am, just taking my time to mess with myself.*

***Latest Updates:***
Its been two weeks and three days now. Here in our place, Mr. Sunshine didn't come out. The cold weather outside add it on, the feeling of demotivation strikes me up even more.
My socks, I almost use it all. I can't stand the coldness without putting it on.
And here's to my buddy, pet dog, "Iking." Seriously, struggle is real. (β β§β β½β β¦β )

*All thanks to you my dear friend* @ewyr *.(Hugs) I now have an amount to buy some feeds for our newly bought pig. This is a very huge blessing for me my friend. Thank you so much.* πββοΈ

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!π
How are you my read.cash brothers and sisters? Its been a long time. I admit, I was kind of devasted knowing that our green goblin really did said his final goodbyes which made me felt demotivated to go on writing and publishing blogs in here anymore. And I just decided to take all my time to think if I will still continue. It may have took me a while but I was finally able to decide that I will continue my journey in here.
Today, I will share with you the things I look forward to this year, 2023. And these are also serves as my New Year's resolutions.
To tell you honestly, I am not into having new year's resolutions. It could be the reason why I felt like my life has nowhere to go. Starting a new year as what it used to, that's how my life is going on for the past couple of years.
I believed with the saying, **"Change is constant"** but with regards of how my life is going on as of this moment, I wasn't able to apply it to myself. Even how many times I look at it, I felt like I was just stuck in a certain situation where I can't see anything which I can say, "Progress." But it doesn't mean I don't have any expectations. The year 2022 really was ELUSIVE to me. Seeing how the life of other people surrounds me, achieving their dreams, it makes me feel like I am inferior and ashamed to be around with them because I still don't have something to brag or maybe I am just thinking that I should one. It really just bothered me.
________________________
**NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS!**
Here are the lists of New Year's Resolutions which I wanted to give more of my focus for the 2023 and beyond;
***Spend Less***
*- With the presence of online shopping apps, (shopee, lazada, etc.) I have been purchasing a lot of items online for this year. Some are useful and some are just for occasional purposes. I want to minimize spending so that I can do better on the next resolution that I want to do.*
*Save More*
*- As what I have said, I have been spending a lot this year. And with that I want to change that kind of habit. I want to save every last cent that I can have so that at the end of the day, I can have money when I need it especially in emergency purposes.*
*Invest*
*- Since I started to engage myself in blogging, I was able to acquire few knowledge about investments and trading. I know I still need to learn more of it especially that there are also a lot of scams out there. I want to learn to invest so that my money can grow and earn a passive income through it.*
More than that, I also have new years resolutions for my well being;
Physical Health
*- Lately, I have been suffering a lot of body pain, especially lower back pains. I still don't know the reason of this tho but I think one of the reason is the lack of physical activities. I may have some Volleyball games but what I look forward is to have a regular excise routine. I want to be back in shape. This is also one of the ways of showing love for myself.*
Emotional Health
*-* ***Stress****. This is the number one reason that affected my emotional well being. There were lots of factors why I gained this. For this new year, I look forward that as much as possible I can avoid the factors that will contribute stress to me. And with that, it can also help my mental health.*
*Social Health*
*- For the past months of the year, I rarely engage myself to people physically. Like, I am mostly at home and rarely go out or hang out with my friends. It just happens when I have Volleyball games or family gatherings. So as the new year enters, I look forward to enhance more of my social skills, both in actual or virtual mode of communication. I look forward to build a strong foundation with the relationship I have with my parents, my family and friends, my boyfriend and his family, as well as the people I met and meet in real and virtual world.*
Spiritual Health
*- Frankly speaking, I rarely visited the church. You can actually count it by hand. Yes, I am not kidding. Well, I do pray at home (in my room specifically) but I will admit, I didn't do it wholeheartedly as always. But despite that fact, I am very grateful to God for the wonderful gifts and blessings I received for 2022. I look forward to be more active in our church and the activities it will organize for the upcoming year/s.*
And finally,
***Learn to become a Risk Taker***
*-* ***"Opportunity knocks only once."*** *I will definitely agree with this. I am actually rained with opportunities but I just wasted my chances because I am afraid that I will just ended up being rejected again or I ended up not lasting for long. It could be the reason why I am still in this kind of situation where I struggled to survive the day feeling the pressures. I want to learn on how to become a Risk Taker, how to overcome my fears of rejections. Hopefully, this coming new year, I, little by little, learn how to do it for good and for the betterment of myself.*
**Ending Thoughts:**
***"Self-discipline"*** is one of the ways to make all of these happen. It may be hard for someone like me to make this huge change for the first time of my life. But with God's loving grace and guidance, as well as the support and love from the people who believe in me, surely, I can and I will manage to make these happen. By making this blog, it should help me to become more attentive on the goals that I want to achieve for the year 2023 and the following years to come.
Thank you for spending your time!
