A stranger asked me out today. After work, I went straight to my parents’ home because I want to be there for my grandmother’s birthday. I rode a mini-bus and along with me, there was only one passsenger—a foreign guy. The driver and bus conductor decided to turn around so we waited and transferred to… Continue reading Pre-valentine’s day; a random encounter
Hi! It’s another Sunday where I should be doing my chores, but I ended up writing here as an excuse not to. As I currently listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire, a perfect vibe for writing was made…so here I am. Just last week, I had a beach trip with my work buddies whom I… Continue reading The ebb and flow of friendships
The past months have been really crazy for me. There were a lot of times I wanted to be petty because life—as always— can be pretty unfair; but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in this season—it’s patience. Not that I claim to be a patient person already, but I feel like I’ve been growing… Continue reading There’s no point
It’s a Saturday morning and I just know that I started my day right. I woke up a little later than I usually do on weekdays and headed to clean my kitchen—a place in my apartment that ultimately needed immediate attention. Cooked some scrambled eggs, sliced some dragonfruit and cucumber, and prepared lavender tea. This… Continue reading Buzz!
Hey, how have y’all been? I’m 24 now, working at a government agency, mainly focused on crop research. Previously working on events strategy, what I do now is more on science communication, promoting the accomplishments of our agency’s research projects. I now live alone in a studio-type apartment and go visit my parent’s house every… Continue reading At 24: Life and Choices
It’s currently 9:07 PM and tonight, I challenge myself to write my thoughts even just for five minutes. Tonight, I was reminded that I should be enjoying my life and not waste it on meaningless things. As I think about it, I think most of the things I do in my life right now are… Continue reading Where will this lead me?
It’s my first time to celebrate my birthday away from my family. So twenty-three feels like this, huh?
Hey there! I just binged-watched the season two of Emily in Paris today. It has ten episodes which are about 30 minutes each so it took me five hours to finish the show. Given that today is a Wednesday and a work day at home, yes, i didn’t work, therefore procrastinated, which I shouldn’t be… Continue reading Bonjour, Emily!
After graduation, I took a rest for 2 months and felt the urge to find a job. With that, I sent an application to different websites and a few days later, I got a message for an interview at an events company. I accepted the invitation and the moment that I got in the office,… Continue reading Into A New Season
everyday keeps getting worse… what if I get tired of words too?
I feel sad. I’m at my point right now where I just cannot take anything anymore. I am sad and tired. The thing here is that I have the power to end it, but I just don’t know how. I want to take a rest. I don’t want to do this anymore.
The world needs at A LOT of prayers right now, MORE THAN EVER. Ten minutes before I do my work, just ten minutes to let this all out. Everything that is happening in the world is unbelieving –that 2020 will come down to history books as a year of chaos. The start of the year… Continue reading The World Needs Us
Hello! It’s been so long since I’ve written and published something in this blog. I’m 21 years old now, and all of this still feels so unreal to me. It’s just so amazing how time flew so fast that I barely even recall what happened in these past few years. Who would have thought that… Continue reading Back to Blogging
It’s my first de-stress with the team, and we went to the infamous San Juan, La Union. La Union is a well-known place here in the Philippines for its huge waves –perfect for surfing. Since we stayed there during a weekend, the place was packed with tourists everywhere. Nevertheless, it was a weekend that ultimately… Continue reading Lax in La Union
Spent Valentine’s day at work, arrived home late, but at least I looked cute. …and I think that is all that matters. You’re welcome.
