Reflection: Seek to Understand than to be Understood (2022)
It’s Me, Hi! The year has ended and maybe it’s time to put up some reflection on this blog. I wouldn’t call my 2022 a fun ride, but it was definitely necessary. I figuratively lost people this year and made confrontations that somehow made up the title of this blog. Seek to understand than to be understood, I live by this quote all my life. I put this out there across all my social media thinking people can ponder on it and make an extra effort to make this place a better place to live. This year it backfired on me, people use this quote to make me somehow feel…

Easter Sunday, the Three Women, and Where’s Mary
Who are these three women at the tomb of Christ during the Easter Sunday? Mark 16:1-2: “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen.” These women, based on Mark 16:1-2, were: Mary Magdalene Mary, mother of James Salome How great really the faith of these women that they believe that the Lord resurrected from the dead though they didn’t see the body. Unlike Thomas on today’s Sunday Gospel. I was thinking…

Verity Short Review
I’ve given this book a go because of the people recommending it to someone who wanted to read a book from a Villain’s point of view. Basing my next read indulgence on that thought, more than half of myself assume one character will turn out to be the “bad guy” and I’m just waiting for any moment for them to snap; like a wolf in a sheep’s clothing. I forgot Villains are still human and they too have a story to tell. To be completely honest, this book has given me nightmares – I refuse to listen to it during nighttime (Audible was my platform of choice). This book will…

Hey Kid!
I once thought that I don’t deserve to laugh – to have fun. Back to the good old grade school days, I always carry with me a hanky. I don’t possess so much growing up but my hankies are something that’s always been there (even though sometimes I misplaced them). Whenever I’m in a group and they joke around, I would snatch my hankies from my pocket and put them just in front of my lips, and laugh. One time, I was asked ‘Why do you cover your mouth when you laugh?’ and ‘Why do you laugh without sound?’. Then I thought (from my most innocent mind) maybe laughing is…

Not a Mother’s Day Greeting
We can all agree our Mom’s the best Mom, the best cook, our best friend etc. We sometimes simply say they’re amazing as we can’t fathom how they can fit everything; from budgeting, chores needed to finish on time, even your clothes on luggage and you found yourself shying away cause yet again she proved you wrong. Some while juggling a job. Truth is it’s an everyday learning, those first-time moms hang in there, y’all doing great! At this moment, I also wanted to bring to the limelight those women who experience loss, made sacrifices, and arrive at decisions of a lifetime. Those who gave their life to become breadwinners,…

Pay Pag-ibig Housing Loan thru Gcash
I would literally gone crazy thinking of ways to pay Pag-ibig Housing Loan without Gcash. Gcash has made my life easy, convenient and instant. Thanks for its services that they keep on adding constantly. I usually pay my dues thru my bank, Metrobank. However, I stop receiving email notification regarding my housing loan monthly bill (I asked the Pag-ibig customer service and says email notification is in halt). Which is totally necessary for paying as it includes a unique reference number – without it, the only other way is to go to any payment center (I don’t really go out these days). Glad Gcash is now a verified Payment Partner.…

Tech: Huawei Wearables
I am a fan of tech, an avid user if you would categorize. 2019 was really one of the year you can say wearables are now stable and since this was introduce around 2017-2018 the price is also way affordable. My first Huawei Wearable is Huawei Freebuds Lite! This was one of the best buys of 2019. My previous earplug was from KZ which is totally dope as well. This is totally an upgrade I must say. Since the day I purchase this, I only got 1 update. Noticed nothing really but somehow it was about security or connection/bluetooth update. Superb Battery as well, I can use this 3 days…

Job’s Story
I remember you. Yes, you. I can’t reach out now but I hope this finds you well. Of all your struggles, I often tell you God is always there. Please always have faith and pray. Pray – every night you remind me so often esp when I get nightmares. Your reminders irritates me sometimes as I always do so every night, it appears as if I’m not praying ‘enough’. However, I realize now how genuine that message is. It must have been hard for you to pray and believe in miracles having experienced a lot of loss. You know, I pray for you every night and hardly on nights when…

Dedicated Tour Manila 2019
One of the best experiences I wanted to write about right after it ends is this! If you are following me on Instagram (plugging my account, follow me!) you might come across ‘My Story’ about a countdown for Concert Ticket to go on Sale! The whole concert experience is also one of my highlights on Instagram (in case you wanna see). Originally, ‘Manila Trip 2’ was also dubbed as the ‘Barkada Theater Goals’. We have planned this months and months ago! Around May, Carly Rae has announced an MNL Tour with no specific dates yet. I already booked my plane ticket for this “Theater Goals”. Days after Carly then announce…

Heyya from the new Blog
Hi! How long has its been? 3-4 yrs maybe? To let you know, I’ve been facing the monitor for an 8-5 work therefore its easy for me to open my blog on a new tab and write on breaks. Well here I am contemplating on all the time lost and all the words at loss. *sigh* 3 years is quite long, how am I supposed to start this (haha). First off, I’ve been meaning to write every milestone I achieve even before it became a milestone. My first concert, my manila trip 1, manila trip 2, baguio city, my company after convergys – and the list go on. So much had…
