Sat With Ree: Love In Moderation

Do you believe in saving something for special occasion? For example, you have a new shirt, but you don't want to wear it, yet, because you are still waiting for a perfect occasion where you could wear it. 

I was the type of person back then, but I am not the same kind of person anymore. I saw this quote that goes like, "You don't have to save anything for special occasion. Because everyday is a special occasion." When I thought about it, I couldn't agree more. 

I know a person who treasures things too much. For example, someone gave him a bag. He only use it occasionally. Only to find out one day that it had already been damaged inside his closet because it had been stored for so long. Another example is when someone gave him chocolate, he didn't want to eat it right away. Or he will eat it, but it will take days before he could finish that one bar. What's worse is when he kept it in a safe place (so that no one could eat it), then totally forgetting about it. Only remembering it again when it's about to expire or when it already did. 

I used to think that he didn't want to use his most cherished belongings simply because he was waiting for a special occasion where he could finally use them. Until I realized that he never want to use them because they love them so much. And also because he love the person who gave them to him so much. 

There's nothing wrong with taking care of things. Of course, we should take care of them for them to last long, but not to the extent that you don't enjoy them while you still can. Holding on to things too tight doesn't guarantee a lifelong possession of them. We are supposed to use and benefit from the things that we own and love the people around us. It's not the other way around. It shouldn't even be interchangeable. 

We have to take care of things for them to last. But we should also be aware that things could change any moment. Life is happening. Life is truly unpredictable. The world keeps on revolving. Before we know it, we already run out of time to enjoy the things that we have. So might as well make the most out of everything. Do not wait for life to be perfect before you decide to be happy because it will never be that way. 

Everyday may not be special, but life is uncertain. The more you hold on to things too tight, the less you'll enjoy them. You have to learn how to love in moderation. You have to find balance in everything. 




au revoir.😊

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
