I'm from the province of Bulacan in the Philippines, but spend most of my time in Manila because of work. I'm an Account Executive for El Rio y Mar Resort in Coron, Palawan, Associate Producer for University Rock on NU 107, Executive Producer for URock Productions and band manager for Hyena Harmonies Inc. I used to write short stories and poems, but that's ruined by twitter, facebook and tumblr. I appreciate art and photography, fashion and music. I love reading anything and dancing like there's no tomorrow. My most favorite people in the whole world are my younger sisters. This year I want to travel more, take more photos, write articles and have them published, meet more people, inspire someone, do an extreme sport, start a business and fall in love.
I don’t understand what I’m going through. I was fine just a while ago. Suddenly I feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Is it selfish to feel alone and lonely, and crave for connection/attention, when the world is in a health crisis?
My Japanese boss and I was stuck in traffic earlier and were talking about the ways our culture differ from each other. He asked me if suicide is common in the Philippines. I said no, not really. It happens, but it’s not a common thing unlike in, well, Japan. I said I think it’s because of close family ties, or because as people, we are pakialamera. It’s normal for 30-something adults to still…
It’s one of those days, when this really heavy feeling overwhelms me and takes over. I have a lot of unanswered questions and I doubt everything about myself. I spent the past 3 days with coworkers I no longer feel comfortable with. Last night when I got home, I was talking to my sister but I think she’s chatting with her friends on her phone so she wasn’t really listening to me. Then this…
I only have one major goal this year: to love myself more than anyone else. I must take care of myself in all ways. I’ll be the reason of my own happiness. Everything I do will ultimately be for my own benefit. I will never let anyone make me just an option again. I have to come first in my own list of priorities, so I attract the same kind of treatment. No more crumbs or scraps or fill ins—…
Closing 2015: A New Year Reminder from Paulo Coelho
CLOSING 2015 One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving…
I Love You Even If We’re Not Together Forever. ~ Yvette Alatorre
Sometimes it’s comforting to find articles you can relate to, and know that someone else went through what you’re going through. This is something I could’ve written: ————————— There are many theories floating around trying to figure out the reason behind the human epidemic I like to refer to as the, “I want what I can’t have” syndrome. For me, it was never about the thrill of the chase. I’m not…
20 days before I turn 30! I used to worry about it, get so insecure because I feel I haven't accomplished enough, that a lot of my peers are way ahead in life. Honestly, I still sometimes feel that way. But being around good people, staying up all night baking my heart out, going to bed knowing I will wake up with a family, friends, a job, a business, someone--- makes me realize I do have a good life. I can still make it better, but this, right now, is good. So now I say, 30? BRING IT ON. <3 #ThirtyAndFlirtyAndThriving
