My Top 5 Distractions and How I Deal with Them
Never in the entire course of history have we ever discussed more distractions than today. We are living in an era of distractions, and it just keeps getting worse by the day. In this blog post, I’ll write about my top 5 distractions and how I deal with them. I hope that they can help you. Most of the time, we blame it on every new application–a game, social media, or video-sharing platform, or perhaps we blame it on the new cutie next door. They get on our way to living the best life there is. How can any of these things be around when everything that we should yearn…

Good Vibrations 101: Count your Blessings
Welcome to my first Good Vibrations series of blogs. This time, I’ll be sharing why you should count your blessings. Last year, I blogged about promising to do 5 things that would serve as a motivation for my life in general. These five are very simple, but (quite frankly,) difficult to do. And to be honest, I wasn’t consistent in doing them. It even took more than a year for me to follow-up with my promise of blogging about each of the five things. For that, I am sorry. I believe that since the world is trying to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, those five things would not only be necessary…

Little Actions and Promises I’m Making Today for a Better Tomorrow
This is the blog diary wherein I am proclaiming to myself, whether someone gets to read this or not, that I will be consistently doing meaningful stuff that will improve my motivation not just in work, but in life in general. If that rings a bell, then maybe you can do these things as well. This will be the first of the series of blogs I write after experimenting with these actions for a better tomorrow. I don’t consider myself as still having emotional and mental issues, but to be honest, I always tend to think of thoughts that are not appropriate for my brain. It’s way impossible to let…

Davao Blog Awards 2018 Nominations
Hi everyone! If you’ve been reading my blog, I’ve always repeated writing about my experiences this year–being socially-aware and how I overcame the struggle, the greatest adversity I’ve experienced in my life, and also about the things I’m thankful for. I have always mentioned that joining the Davao Bloggers Society has really made a positive change in my mental health. I’m truly grateful for their warm welcome and all the fun and positivity that each member has showered me throughout the months that I have been active within the organization. To be honest, I’m still not confident in being called a blogger. I also don’t have confidence in my social…

Goodbye, My Activist Sensibilities
This is the blog post wherein I’m slowly saying goodbye to my activist sensibilities and embracing pragmatism in my life. There are times when I like to think that I’m a Purist. In fact, it’s far from the truth. Purism means that the way you should think and act adheres to what you believe in. Strictly unadulterated and transparent. No ifs, no buts. It’s all-or-nothing. So far in my living existence in this world, I don’t know of any human who is strictly following Purism. I recently blogged about how my activism got amplified to the highest level. I realized that I’ve always been an activist. Not as hardcore as…

Sunshine Blogger Award Nomination
I’d be honest. Before I went active in blogging again, I thought it was too late. Many of the people I’m exposed to aren’t really akin to reading. Or maybe those that are just dominant prefer vlogs over blogs. However, it was only after I joined WordPress that I realized that Blogging is very much alive. There are a million people who write and read. I’m glad that I have found a community here. I would like to thank Currently Apple for this Sunshine Blogger award nomination. I promised Currently Apple that I would answer her 11 questions. I somehow feel like a celebrity now. LOL Here it goes: 1.…

Circa 2016-2017: Activism Amplified
How on earth did a consumerist pig and a highly extroverted person like me get my activism/activist sensibilities? Nope, it’s not because of my UP Education. My Trip to Ayutthaya In June of 2015, I had a trip to Thailand. As a highly paradoxical country, Bangkok offers a wide range of activities that every tourist can enjoy. After all the wild partying in Bangkok, I spent my last day in the Mecca that is Ayutthaya. In spite of the tourist commotions, the caretakers of Ayutthaya have maintained its Peace and Divinity as one of the Unesco World Heritage sites. Visiting each of the temples denuded some madness in me. Such…

Real Neat Blog Award Nomination
Upon opening my WordPress app on the first day of October–I was surprised when a blog comment notification showed up from Dear Kitty. Some Blog. She told me that I have a Real Neat Blog Award Nomination. Since I was a nominee, she has 7 questions for me to answer. 1. Where do most visits to your blog come from? Most visits come from my country, the Philippines, narrowing down to my city, Davao, then narrowing down more to the org which I’m very proud to be part of, the Davao Bloggers Society, and also visits from my friends, whom I’m expecting much support. Yes, when you start a blog…

How I Manifested Money Miraculously
In the past few weeks, I have been reading more about positivity and the law of attraction, almost like being obsessed with it. I meditated a lot, I listened and read about it via the masters like Rhonda Byrne, Abraham Hicks, and the like, and heard/read a lot of miraculous manifestations of regular people, but never did I ever expect that I was about to have my own miracle! I manifested money miraculously, 100GBP, for free! This year started tumultuously for me. I experienced a massive setback in my business which I had no control over because it was on a macro scale (i.e., gov’t regulations). I had to be…
