Upwork Withdrawal Paused? Here’s What I Did

Yesterday, I set my alarm for 8 a.m. because I had funds ready to withdraw from my Upwork account. When the alarm went off, I also received an email notification on my phone saying, “Your tax information has been invalidated.”

I was immediately alarmed. First, I checked whether the email was legitimate, and after confirming that it was, I logged in to my Upwork account and saw that my withdrawal had been temporarily paused. I started to worry since I was supposed to withdraw my funds that day, but thankfully, I just followed the instructions provided.

My 100 Peso A Day Challenge for 365 days

Saving is not easy for breadwinners. When you’re the one covering bills, groceries, emergencies, and sometimes even other people’s dreams, saving often feels like the last thing on the list. I used to think that because I had so many responsibilities, saving just wasn’t realistic for me.

But this year, I realized something important: being a breadwinner shouldn’t stop you from saving—it should motivate you to start, even in small ways.

That’s how the ₱100-a-day challenge for 2026 was born.

Happy New Year 🤍
And welcome to ashandbeyond.

With the start of a new year comes fresh energy, new intentions, and for me — a return to blogging, this time with a brand new home and a new name. ashandbeyond is a space I’ve been quietly putting together, and I’m so excited to finally open it up and share it with you.

This blog will be a mix of the things that make up my everyday life — simple home-cooked meals, cozy recipes, favorite finds, little tips, and personal notes along the way. Nothing overly complicated, just honest, comforting, and thoughtfully shared.
