Sat With Ree: Bring Back The Mem'ries

I used to love this time of the year—Halloween. This is probably one of the things that I always anticipate every year, but that was before. 

We used to spend 'Undas' in Talahib because my grandparents' tombs are in Pisa (which is about 30-45 minutes boat ride away from Talahib). I always looked forward going to Talahib because I'd get to see my cousins again, we can play and we can swim again. One of the fondest memories I had with my cousins was when we used to watch a horror TV show. After watching, we will scare our younger cousins through repeatedly saying the name of the ghost in the show that we watched, especially when it's dark and the power was out. It was so fun to do. Although in all honesty, I was also scared. I was just good at faking it. 😁

One of the things that I also remember was when we were in elementary. In our school, before halloween we will go to almost every house in our barangay, and we would sing in front of it. It's basically just like a carolling, but in November, during daytime, and of course the songs were for halloween. Yeah, halloween songs exist. 😁 It was fun because we didn't have to attend our class plus we got the chance to roam around our barangay. 

This time of the year always makes me reminisce those days. Those days that I wish still exist. How I wish we didn't grow up. I miss those times when having fun means scaring someone and getting scared only through seeing a ghost. Today fun and scared have already deeper meanings. There are times when having too much fun feels so scary because you'll never know what's gonna happen next. It's still fun to scare someone, though. 😄

I think life would be so boring if you don't feel scared every once in a while. When life puts you in a situation that feels scary, that's also the time for you to show how brave you are. What's the point of living if you always choose to stay on the safe side anyway? We are all born courageous. 

Life can be intimidating at times and the things around us can be so overwhelming. During these times we are given the chance to unleash our inner strength and to show life that we can never be shaken. Do not be afraid and never be discouraged in life no matter what it throws us because whatever trials or challenges that we face God is always there to get us through. He is always ahead of us to make sure that we are safe all throughout the way.

Perhaps there is something that you're scared to do, as long as it won't do any harm to other people and as long as it will make you happy, never be afraid to go for it. But before you do it, make sure that you ask for God's guidance and approval. 





Ciao 😊

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
