Review of the Five Books I’ve Read This Year: A Journey of Personal Growth and Mindfulness

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the books that have shaped my thoughts, actions, and perspective. 2024 was a year of growth, self-discovery, and more than a little introspection. From self-help to productivity and spirituality, I dove into five books that, in their unique ways, have challenged me to evolve. Here’s my review of the five books I’ve read this year: Manifest…

Moving Out to a New Flat

Some days you just have to create your own sunshine.

This is a picture of what greets me everyday.

My “limited edition” graduation bear from Aspire 2 International (school), my Diploma Certificate and our backyard which I never got to enjoy because winter just said goodbye.

I am NOT a morning person. In fact, I work nights because Hypno fails to beckon me all of the time.

However, today was a…

In the Land of the Long White Cloud

In the Land of the Long White Cloud

And so it began. About a year and a half ago, I finally embarked on a journey that most Filipino nurses would call “The Dream.” After months of painstakingly processing my papers, it dawned on me that my plan was about to reach fruition — or so I thought.

Dinosaur Party

“RAWR!” means Happy Birthday! Just a few days ago, we celebrated my nephew’s seventh birthday party with a big dino-blast! We wanted to give the guests a unique dinosaur experience (something like a Jurassic Park adventure) but we also don’t want to burn our pockets out; so we decided to make the party needs and favors ourselves and made the event more personalized. Let’s start it off with the…

Two-Years in Hibernation and Now - I'm Back!

Guilty – the exact word to call me since I have abandoned my blog for almost more than two years. It’s not that anyone is ever interested to read it that I’m pressured to update it, but I think the genuine message of the ‘act’ of leaving my blog untouched for such a long period of time suggests that I have also ‘abandoned’ my love for writing – and comes with it the connection that I have with…

Throwback-ing on a Tuesday. Amusing how the antiquated effect (à la old postcards) makes me wanna write a story. A tragic one, of course. #wideawakeat2am #tbt #ootdportfolioph #ootd credits @kaydelosreyes
