I am my own person...

Emancipated Shards of my Persona

[cmeansches]

Our @10cxsfair #10cnuluganngdice project was not easy to pull: it was hard, tiring, sleep-depriving, and draining. However, we fought our way through our struggles, we actually were a team (I never saw myself as the teacher or the supervisor here but just one of the team) who always got each other’s back and we actually made it on top! I could not have been prouder of these awesome boys in the time, effort and creativity into pulling this off and pulling it off well. This is the best gift of 2023. Thank you, #10C. I cannot express enough how much I love you all 🤗 (at Xavier School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cooo7g2LrarGIzuq9DPBs1t_y6M6xDJXwdCJU80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a long day: it was hot, tiring, heavy, hard, and really hot. Nevertheless, never have I been so blessed to be with a bunch of people who are so dedicated and hardworking. May the next 2 days be blissful 🙏🏼❤️🎲 thanks for being awesome, #feb10crew #xsfair2023 #10cnuluganngdice https://www.instagram.com/p/CofD0IBycC7wEW9BcicQ13-D2uoVb_rqfW8-lg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And just like that, here’s to 2022: for the family that stays, the family that keeps connected, to friends that remains true despite the rest of distance and time, for love that remains strong and radiant amidst knots and misconceptions, and for the better tomorrow we’re slowly realizing. My 2022 was filled with happiness and heartbreak, with triumphs and disappointments, with highs and lows, with things I remember and things I forgot but more than anything, I thank God and the people around me for having survived the mess that is 2022. Here’s to 2023 and the strength I’ll be asking from everyone to survive it. Happy new year everyone! 🎇🎆🎊🤗❤️ #goodbye2022 #hello2023 #goodbyebadvibes #hellopositivity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1au3-S7aTINP8YLuSUPfC-vpWjAa7cci0Iqc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honored to be in your presence Ma’am @constantkc. Thank you for affirming my message of “empathy” to our future generation. It is indeed through empathy that we can see all sides of the world and it is through empathy that we can find the truth.

No (super) long post, just the words that matter. Happy 10th to us and the love we share, @danmelchor. For every moment - good and bad - we’ve had, and to those that we will share, like what you said, I cannot wait to grow old with you. Hanggang sa pagputi ng ating mga buhok. I’ll always hold your hand. I love you and I love you ❤️ #10thanniversary (at Tagaytay City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7RgwTrouLiEHG6IJfOmYJMDUCTBUaDKXJrME0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My muscles have been becoming more and more stiff the more I workout and I’ve been needing of a much needed stretch and correcting of posture. With this, I decided to go back to the yoga routine I wasn’t able to finish not only to find that stretch but also to give me moments of mindfulness and silence. While I’m still getting used to it again, so far, I’m happy with what I’ve got. #namaste🙏🏼 thank you @adrienelouise 🙏🏼🙏🏼 #30daysyoga #breath https://www.instagram.com/p/Chc2Wy7P70SYQLRINRRPed1jB0XSIKyjX520Fg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I hit the 7 minute mark! In less than a month, I was able to hit my 7-minute mark in doing planks! My face says how challenging it is though but still! #fitnessjourney #planks #checkpoint https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf0uhWnrQikZk7sM0cRBoy8ELDOJ0vD4nk8khU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weird as they may be.. these are my source of therapy and true happiness - working out and DOY projects 😁😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfePw_9pU9GSzO2w5HBmFacabI0JQEeRr0wFas0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(Context: my longest plank to-date is 5 minutes, 20 seconds which I did at least 3 months ago and I tried to break it today) This is me at 4 minutes, me at 5 minutes and me thinking “why, Chael? Why?!” In the end, my reward is a new record.. 6 minutes, 2 seconds! 💪🏼😁😬😩😂 #fitnessjourney #planks https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUFCwWJsKD5WmYvVxEFOGC9qcdbsXmrNK1zog0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rarely, we put on our “big boy” leather boots, coat and tie and just be “dapper.” Lol. Was anxious if the crowd but it’s all worth it to support family. Congratulations, Pres. Mico! We’re so proud of you! 😊 #ohana #support #rotaryinternational (at Okada Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRTleTJI-Izb_EcWLMU3jT64lFPmmXdEGmkdM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Completed 30% of my yearly goal… and I on track? Will I finish 250 workout sessions after today’s #75of250? Not sure. But I’m sure is that, even after more than 3 years into this journey, I want to keep my mindset laser focused on the goal and the prize! On to another 10% of completion! #fitnessgoals #noexcuses #gettingthere #indoorworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHDNL1p3wgP09DI9VF_padx5_FH5948XQzi-c0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
