After taking down my to-do list for my weekend work, I saw this cute little notebook that was given to me by a friend/former officemate. This is where I write down notes and quotes (I’ve seen online) that I am sending my loved ones. I started doing in 2015 and I didn’t realize that it’s been 3 years already because I still feel so excited … Continue reading Notes and Quotes
August 16, 2018 officially marked my 10th year in Makati. It was a decade ago when I moved to this place to start another journey with my career as HR practitioner. I had a lot of expectations, a lot of dreams, and I honestly thought that living in this place, where I could earn more, would make my life easier, but I guess I was … Continue reading A Decade in Makati
Just this week, two of the well known celebrities, Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, have committed suicide. Apparently, depression was the main cause why these two have taken their own lives and it wasn’t surprising that no one, maybe even from their family or close friends, has seen what they had been going through. As defined in the dictionary of Psychology by J.P. Chaplin, Ph.D, … Continue reading Depression
Last April 2018, on the day of Valor, my officemates and I planned to visit Baler. Due to tight budget, we have decided to just spend overnight and visit as many tourist attractions as we can.

I won’t make this so long. I just want to share how I spent my day because I didn’t have internet connection for 3 days, and my heart is aching (since last night). I woke up feeling so sad because of the unfortunate experiences I had. I almost cry, but then I realized that there is so much that I can do to enjoy my … Continue reading When My Heart Is Broken and The Internet Is Down
Nakapanood ako kagabi ng palabas sa telebisyon na ang title ay 2nd chance. It was a story about a couple who broke up after 8 years of being together then gave each other another chance. After watching it, napaisip ako. Do 2nd chance really work? Why do we say goodbye to someone tapos babalikan din pala natin? Is it really a smart choice if you … Continue reading Unli Chance
I may not be that religious in the eyes of others, but believe it or not, I have this passion for Catholic churches/theme parks. Last January 2018, I had the chance to visit Marian Orchard, in Balete Batangas. It is a 5 hectare pilgrimage site that is surrounded by several kinds of trees and flowers, and different Catholic-themed sculptures. ✨ This theme park is located … Continue reading Marian Orchard
Of all the places I have been to this 2017, Talisayen Cove is on top of my list (well you’ll notice that I kept mentioning it in my previous posts).
