BLOGGING TIPS : UNBLOCKING BLOGGER’S BLOCK

What is blogger’s block? It’s where you simply cannot come up with a new blog topic.I know most of you have experienced this too, this happens a lot to some bloggers. There are days where you have overflowing ideas and some days where you just can’t think of something to post. it’s like your motivation left you in an instant.

Here are a few ways I know that might help you unblock your blogger’s block:

GO FOR A WALK - Clear your mind. Sometimes the best ideas can be found outside your house.

FREEWRITE - Go get a piece of paper and a pen. Write whatever comes to your mind until a new thought appears. 

LISTEN TO MUSIC - Music can tap into your creative side quickly.

RELAX AND READ SOME MAGAZINES - If you are having a hard time on what to blog, why don’t you relax for a moment. Don’t stress yourself, it’s bad for you. Read some magazines. There are lot of things you can find inside the magazines, some topics that are might be worthy to blog about.

TRY TO LOOK BACK ON YOUR PAST EXPERIENCES - There might be some things that you can use, Whether it’s school, love life etc.

PINTEREST - Here you can find lots of cool projects, topics and more that you can use for your blog.

So that’s it. How about you? How do you unblock your bloggers block?

Dear 18 year old Chloe,

It’s been 2 years, a lot has changed actually. You’re now a 20 year old young mom trying to figure out the early stages of parenthood, yet you’re doing well so far. You’re happy and not insecure in your life at the moment. You became a young mom at an early age but that doesn’t mean your life has ended. Well,actually everything has just started. Don’t worry about what other people tells about you because they are the kind of people you shouldn’t be worried about. They’re just jealous because you can spend more time with your child. So smile.

Being 18 is great right? Now that you’ve turned 18 (01.22.14), you might think that you can do whatever you want but wait, you forgot that you have strict parents. But wait again, they won’t know because they’re not here, they’re 64927831 mi. away due to their work. Moving on,It’s almost February and you know what that means ; LOVE MONTH! Flowers - chocolates - teddy bears - love letters and couples everywhere. Don’t worry, your boyfriend has a special gift for you and this gift will be the cause of the change in your life. Prepare yourself - emotionally,spiritually and physically. It will be a tough ride, you will encounter many challenges in the road.

Whatever happens just pray, talk to God. He will you give you strength. Whatever the result is don’t do anything bad. Remember, everything will turn out great maybe not at first but it will be later on. A blessing from God is coming. I know it’s still too early for you to receive this blessing but God has his plans.

Everything happens for a reason. Good luck and God bless.

Love, From your 20 year old self. A proud mom to a beautiful daughter.

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY : HIGH SCHOOL DAYS (‘09 - '13)  

I miss being a high school student for once. Where in, even if you don’t study and pass all the needed requirements, they will still give you a passing grade. Unlike in college, if you don’t study and pass everything and stuff, they will give you a failing grade. 

Missing those good old days. It wasn’t all happy and everything, there were times that we argue, laugh, smile and cry. I miss them. They were my 2nd family, they were like my brothers and sisters. 

How I wish I could turn back time. How I wish I could change the past and make it better. Unfortunately, past is past. I can’t change it and all I can do is move-on and live the life I have right now but it’s not too late to make a better future.

TRAVEL ADVENTURES : BORACAY - MANILA ESCAPADE (2014)

Who doesn’t want to go in a vacation? I’m sure no one does. Go as many places as you can. You can always make money but you can’t always make memories. Adventures are the best way to learn.

When we were in Boracay we went (I was with my dad at that time) :

Parasailing - While we were at the top, I feel like I was going to fall and at the same time drown. Fact : I don’t know how to swim. How I wish I took swimming lessons. (Maybe I should enroll now, It’s not too late right?)

Helmet Diving - I was scared that there might be sharks. Yes. I’m afraid of sharks, who doesn’t? I’m too young to die.

Banana Boat Riding - I almost fell off, I was trying to stand-up while it was running.

Restaurant Hopping - Expensive. I tell you, but everything was worth it and delicious so no regrets at all.

Shopping - There’s this shop in Boracay which I really love, they sell accessories and stuffs and they were really gorgeous.

After 4 days we went straight to the airport because we need to go to Manila the next day. When we arrived in Manila, we went straight to Camp Aguinaldo (If I remember correctly, that’s because my dad is a soldier.)

Moving on, the next day we went to :

Manila Ocean Park - It was amazing, saw a lot of fish and discovered some new ones that I’ve never seen before.

SM Mall Of Asia - Shopping shopping shopping that’s all I did. 

Those unforgettable moments.  How I wish I can turn back time, I miss going to Boracay and Manila. Ugh. I need to start saving money right now and maybe, just maybe I can go back to Boracay next year with my hubby and our little princess. I should start looking some affordable/promo tickets in Cebu Pacific’s site.

[thearantefamily]

20 years old. (I can’t believe I’m so old) No longer a teen, no more being a “drama queen”. No longer can I blame mistakes on being a “dumb teen”. But don’t worry at 20 years, there’s many more to be seen. Twenty’s the time for my true colors to shine, for twenty years I’ve watched myself learn and grow. I’ve been through ups and downs and things that made me run and hide. I can’t believe how fast these twenty years have flown. 

People might expect me to be all grown up now that I’m twenty. But don’t worry, fun’s not done, there’s still time for plenty. I might run into problems that arise so suddenly, the shenanigans I’ll find myself getting into might take me by surprise. Some of the crazy things I’ll experience now might seen awful - but they will make me a better person somehow. The amazing memories I have from the two decades are flying by in my mind like a bunch of long parades. From an infant to a child and then a teen, now an adult. I won’t let anything stop me or block my way.🎂🎉2️⃣0️⃣🎈🎊

[thearantefamily]

If I had all the time in the world to write how grateful I am to have you in my life, a hundred pages of book will certainly not be enough. I just want you to know that you are the reason why I breathe each day and the reason why this life is meaningful to me. 

From the first moment we laid our eyes on you, you have made us believe that indeed, miracles do happen. To us, you are more precious than all the diamonds in the world. No one can ever put a price tag on the love that we have for you. As parents, all we want is for you to grow and become a better person each day. May you touch the life of so many people and be an inspiration and a blessing to them, the way you are to us.

2016 Goal # 1 

[thearantefamily]

I was 18 when I got pregnant and had my daughter. I was lost, confused and don’t know what to do. Yes, I was young, it wasn’t the right time and it’s going to be hard for me but thank God, everything worked out well. My parents, well, like any other parents, they were angry at first until they accepted it. “ Yes, i am a young mother. No, that does not mean I am any less of a parent. It means I wont be ancient when they graduate. I am younger, prettier, more fun and just way cooler than you. ” 
She is now a year and 4 months old, breastfed and well taken care of. She’s healthy, smart, loving and sweet. Being a young mom means that we met a little early, but it also, means I get to love you a little longer. Some people said that my life ended when I had a baby but my life had just began. You didn’t take away my future, you gave me a new one. Walking unaided, Standing without any help from us, Pointing to objects of her interest, Speaking two recognizable words, Deliberately dropping toys and looking for them are just a few of her achievements in her one-year-old mark.

[thearantefamily]

Hey there Tumblr. We meet again. After all these months of abandoning you, well, I’m back again. Many things have happened to me this year 2015, full of surprises and mixed emotions. 

Until now, I'm still asking myself why are these things happening to me but then I realize that everything happens for a reason and with God nothing is impossible. 

[thearantefamily]

18 years of age is definitely a milestone in my life - it's the start of my adulthood. But if i think that's a bummer because it is also the start of taking on serious things in life. It's also the beginning of many wonderful and amazing things in life. My life is just starting to unfold. 

Its been 7months since my 18th birthday. Being 18 is hard. Why? There are so many expectations that you need to deal with. One little mistake would ruin everything. 'Perfectionism' is one of the things i'm dealing with right now. No one is perfect, only God is perfect - we all know that. Mistakes are part of life, there's nothing wrong about it, it's where we learned something. Right now, I'm doing my best even though my best is not enough. :)
