Sat With Ren: Why It Is Important To Let Go

"Letting go is not an easy task." This is a line from one of my favorite songs that I absolutely agree. 

Truly, letting go is one of the arduous tasks to do. Letting go of something or someone feels like giving up a portion of our life, too, that's why it is excruciating. People find it hard to let go because they are afraid they won't get to experience the same things again. Or they're afraid they won't be happy again. It's difficult to let go because we already grew comfortable with the familiarity of things or people and we have no idea how we could possibly adapt if something changes. 

It's hard to let go of things and especially people. It's hard to let go of someone when that someone means everything to us. Adults find it hard to let go of their childhood toy because they have so much memories with it. Sometimes we need to let go even our lifelong dreams, even though we don't want them to. Because imagining our dreams turning into reality make us feel happy and excited; and we thought that that's what we really wanted.

At some point in our lives we have to let go. Even if we don't want to. Even if it hurts. Because it's necessary, and because sometimes holding on is a lot more painful. Also, there comes a point when holding on isn't even an option. Eventually we have to stop holding on to things that only make us feel miserable. 

You have to let go of the person you thought you were bound to spend your life with for you to be with who you're really supposed to be with. As we grow older we have to let go our favorite toy and give it to someone who could still benefit from it. At times we have to let go our most cherished item and give it to someone who need it the most. 

We have to let go of people if they don't want us in their life anymore. We don't have to beg them to make them stay. If they want to leave, let them. We have to let go of people who don't want us in their life anymore to make room for those who would want us in theirs. 

We have to let go of the grudge we've been keeping inside for us to have a peace of mind. It's not for other person's benefit, but for our own. So that they won't have any power over us anymore, and for us to free ourselves from hatred and bitterness. 

We sometimes need to let go of our dreams to create a space for what we're really destined to do with our life; to find our real purpose. And for us to dream new dreams.

Letting go is necessary, so that we can make room for the things that won't hurt us anymore. It will be difficult at first, but you will eventually learn how to get used to living without the things or people you thought you couldn't live without.  It's necessary to let go for us to realize that there's so much more to life than what we've been holding on to. We have to be willing to let go for us to find joy in the newness of things. We have to let go of our comfort zone and be willing to step into the uncertain. 

Letting go is important for us to welcome new things that are coming our way. New things or people that would make us realize why letting go of the old is the smartest decision we've ever made. 




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

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
