What Ryujin Nippon Taught Me About Success
Photo Source : GMA Sports PH It started with a simple recommendation on my feed. Before I knew it, I was deep-diving into match after match of Ryujin Nippon, ( Japan Menās National Volleyball Team) from their old games to recently concluded Paris Olympics matches. The sound of every spike, every perfectly executed set, every monster blockātheyāre breathtaking. But itās not just their skillsā¦

You Only Need One
Lately, Iāve been reminding myself of one simple truth as I try to survive in this world obsessed with more. āYou only need one.ā Iāve already written something like this on my IG account and just wanted to explore more of that here on my blog.

Taking the Leap Again
Exactly ten years ago, I wrote a statement that I didnāt fully realize would resonate with me a decade later: āOpen Your Door to New Possibilities.ā At the time, I was still immersed in the academe, working in education, where everything felt familiar but also limiting. I longed for something moreāa chance to explore life beyond the four walls of the classroom. Yet, despite the desire for change,ā¦

Boracay 2024
Lately, Iāve noticed a shift in how I capture memories during trips. I donāt take as many pictures as I used to. Maybe itās a sign of getting olderālearning to savor the moment with my own eyes rather than through my phoneās lens. Still, I want to share the few photos I did take during my recent beach trip. While I often use this blog to spill out my random thoughts, I also want it to reflectā¦

Validation
I just stopped seeking validation and it felt liberating. Iāve spent so long searching for myself in the eyes of others, as if their approval could tell me who I was. Every time I wasnāt noticed, every time no one showed interest, it felt like a quiet confirmation that I wasnāt enough. Not enough to turn heads, not enough to be pursued. And with that silence, my confidence would shrink aā¦

The Art of Doing
Ever stuck in a cycle of prepping instead of doing the thing? Sounds relatable? Iām guilty. Iāve discovered that my procrastination often stems from unnecessary rituals.

The King's Affection
I wasnāt supposed to write anything today, but after hearing the OST of one of my favorite K-dramas, I felt compelled to pen down my thoughts and share my very first post in my K-drama collection reviews. Iāve been a fan of K-drama since 2005, though I have to admit, period dramas were never really my thing. I often found them boring and skipped many of them simply because they werenāt to myā¦

She never comes across as pretentious or overly flashy about her lyrical prowess. Instead, her approach is subtle yet powerful, with every lyric hitting home. Whenever I need to buckle down and focus on a tedious task,ā¦
