Ideas Lately
I just came back last night from the Big Camp. It’s an Easter weekend tradition for our churches here in Victoria to gather and camp and have a sort of a spiritual retreat. We don’t do Easter egg hunts and stuff. We meditate on the works of Jesus and how we could know Him better and get closer to Him. Since I am working for the church organization, I was assigned to help at the pop-up bookstore.…
A New Migrant Challenge
So far, my life has been good. I got no complaints. I have moved to another house, a lovely, quaint place that is close to my workplace. I love how I could take my time a little bit in the morning and still get to work on time especially now that the sunrise is getting later so if I was still in my old place, it would still be very dark when I need to start walking to the train station. What I…
Daydreaming
Here I am, cocooned in my blanket daydreaming and typing these dreams down so I could look back on it and see what came true. I dream of having my own pantry with my unique finds so I could experiment in my own kitchen. By the way, I used the milk frother (is that even a word?) for the first time this morning and I was able to make my own peppermint tea latte for the first time and had it with…
Dreaming For Now
I can only dream for now while I am waiting. I dream that I am able to get a job finally then I am able to move out and find a nice sharehouse with its own bathroom. Yes, that’s the only thing I am looking for in an accommodation now. Then, I would be able to buy a car. I am not yet sure what kind. I like to buy a mini cooper again but my friend told be that because I love going on adventures, I…
Here I Go Again
The last time I blogged, I thought that things were going to be fast but I waited another couple of months before I finally got the visa and another month to fly out to Australia. Yey! Answered prayers. Finally, I got what I was praying for. Now, on to the next level. I have only been here for two weeks but I have been sending out applications for a month now and still, nothing. Not even…
The Ball Started Rolling
It’s funny how there felt like a drought in my life for months and in just a matter of two days, I got overwhelmed with the downpour. I was surprised to wake up to a message again asking me to go to the Marshall Islands to help with their accounting while I am waiting for my visa. Then yesterday, my agent emailed me to tell me that I am being requested for a renewal of police clearance by the…
A Hump I Need to Get Over With
My job search is still going on but I always gets stumped with the experience they require. It’s funny (not funny at all) that all of a sudden, my years of experience don’t even matter. I need to start from the bottom once again. I mean, I don’t mind, it’s just harder to find a fit because most openings require experience on specific countries. I will just keep on submitting my application though…
Thoughts On Being Idle
Yesterday, I spent the whole literally on doing nothing. By nothing I meant just mindlessly scrolling through social media and YouTube. I felt so bad when evening came that today, I made sure I updated my resume to fit the Philippine setting and try applying again today. I think I’ve applied to five companies today. It’s not a lot, I know but I’m happy that at least I did something. My excuse is…
Things Are Looking Up
I’ve seen several visa grants today, finally! Somehow, I feel a surge of hope that one of these days, very very soon, I will receive mine and I will be able to explore in a new place. I will be able to go out and see new things, learn new things, accept new challenges. Lately, I have been really struggling because I just want to go out and explore. It’s been raining lately so even if I wanted to…
Much Needed Walk
I went on a long walk tonight because my mind very much needs to declutter and walking or just exercising in general helps with that. So today, I got the quote for the car repair that needs to be done and while the money for that has already been set aside, it still hits different when you actually have to let go of it. There is still a shock value and the sudden realization that after this…
Not the Intended Post
I was going to post something else but I felt like I’m jinxing it if I say it out loud or even have its existence in public and I’m just not willing to risk it at the moment because it’s special, kind of, and I want to actually see it all play out and hope for a good ending, you know what I mean? Well, let’s just focus on something else right now and hope for the best. I was listening to a…

Things Are Not Going As Expected
As I have previously mentioned in my last post, there’s another delay so now I am trying to look for a job. However, somehow I feel thankful now? See, I have been planning to go to the US for two reasons. One, to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and second, to attend my friend’s wedding. I was praying about it because it would be on two separate months so the likelihood of me being able to go…

There's an Immigration Update
…And the update is that I have to wait longer for my visa to be processed. I am totally confused right now, I don’t know what my next step should be. I don’t mind staying but I feel like I am wasting time. I have been idle for so long already. At the same time, I’m not sure if I should apply for a job since I am planning on leaving anyway. I know that I have to make a decision. I can’t just wait…

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!
I did not check the date when I last posted, I would assume it’s been more than five years. Blogging has fallen off the trend. We are onto vlogging, reels, and stories now. Things have changed but I am trying to hide from social media so here I am giving an update, ranting about nonsense, just decluttering my brain. I am back in the Philippines now, waiting for my visa to move to Australia. My…

Awww…tumblr is still trying
I’m back from vacation! ☀ I hope you all have been well while I’ve been gone.
Have you ever gotten in an endless loop of scrolling down your phone, watching endless videos, and rotating between the same apps? This penguin is here to remind us all that we have other options for restful breaks to take! ✨

We Forget We are Christians
We Forget We are Christians
I just have to get this out of my chest. I cannot deal with the fanaticism and idolatry in the Philippines anymore. We forget we are Christians. The words that are used in social media to defend the chosen politicians are previously words reserved for someone’s worst enemy.
As the Bible says:
Matthew 5:22 “But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in…
