Prioritizing oneself isn't selfish. It doesn't mean that you are only thinking about yourself. It does not necessarily mean that you don't care about other people. It doesn't imply that you think highly of yourself, but it's thinking of yourself as equal to them. It's not being inconsiderate. Prioritizing oneself means caring for your mental well-being. It's knowing when to stop when you know you've already had enough.  It is important to give yourself time and space when you feel like everything or everyone around you seems to drain your energy. It's not selfish to put yourself first every now and then. It's necessary to ask yourself how you really feel about something. And if it doesn't serve you good, you have to know that you can always take a step back. As the saying goes, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." You don't have to force yourself and deal with everything that only suck the life out of you. 

Starring: Lili Reinhart Aisha Dee Danny Ramirez David Corenswet Directed by: Sarah Watt Release Date: August 17, 2022 Look Both Ways is a story about Natalie Bennett (Lili Reinhart). It's not your typical romantic kind of film. If you've already watched '13 Going 30' this movie is similar to it in a way, but not totally.  Natalie had just graduated from her college and already has her life planned in the next five years.lll Then something happened during their graduation party. She was presented with two different scenarios. One was her following and pursuing her 5-year plans that include moving to Los Angeles with her bestfriend, Cara (Aisha Dee). The other one was her unexpectedly entering into a motherhood only right after her graduation.  I loved how this movie was greatly curated. You don't always see movies where you get to witness two totally different plots, usually there is only one. This movie showed the best (and even worst) of both worlds, hence the titl

It is innate to us human to have insecurities, especially when it comes to physical appearance. Some people like to have a smaller nose. Others prefer bigger boobs while some wish theirs were smaller. Some would rather have a whiter complexion while some wants a fairer or darker skin. Some prefer to have a slimmer body. At times, we feel so low because we tend to focus with our insecurities.  In dealing with one's insecurities, self-acceptance is vital. We have to acknowledge the fact that we aren't perfect, and it's okay. If other people point out our flaws or our insecurities, we shouldn't be offended. Instead, our response should be, "I know, right." We shouldn't let others make us feel more insecure. We don't have to let their words get to our head or to define us. We know ourselves better and we have to know also our worth. At the same time, we shouldn't point out other people's insecurities. May we always remember this saying: "If th

What's the most random act of kindness you've received from a stranger?  "Sometimes miracles are just people with kind hearts." Do you agree with this quote? Because I definitely do.  I used to apply to different jobs that were located far from where I live. Simply because I want to live independently. Everytime I got shorlisted and asked to show up for an interview, I always see to it that I was familiar with the place. I check first the map for the direction. I won't go there if I wasn't familiar with the place.  One time I had an interview. I didn't hesitate to go there since I am not a stranger to the place anymore. I experienced living there for almost a month when I had my internship. Even so, I still checked the map to see the exact location of the place where I would go. It was a food chain, so it has many store locations. I was aware that there was one there, but I wasn't sure if that's where I was having my interview. When I checked the

Starring: Sofia Carson Nicholas Galitzine Chosen Jacobs Linden Ashby Director: Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum Release Date: July 29, 2022 This is a story about Cassie (Sofia Carson), an aspiring singer-songwriter and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine), a member of the US Marine. They met through their common friend, Frankie (Chosen Jacobs). They married each other despite their love-hate relationship. Wait, let me get that straight. It's only hate when they got married, there's no love, yet.  It's not your typical love story that has full of sweet moments. If you haven't seen the movie, yet, prepare a box of tissue or you could also use your blanket (like what I did) to dry up your tears when you watch the film. Prepare also your heart to get broken. One of the most heartbreaking scenes for me was during the funeral, especially when Cassie gave the ring. Somehow I saw it coming at the start of the film, but it still saddened me anyway.  The movie doesn't focus solely about Luke a

Have you, girls, experienced being in a state where everything seems to bother you? Or you get emotional over everything, as in everything? Or you make everything a big deal even though it shouldn't? It's probably because you're PMS-ing or you're experiencing premenstrual syndrome. PMS has many symptoms including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression. It's easy if you are only able to experience food cravings. I mean, even if I'm not PMS-ing I always crave food. Plus, you have a reason to binge eat. So, what's not to like? The toughest part is the presence of mood swings, irritability and depression.  Not all those who are menstruating get to experience it. If you didn't know yourself better especially your body, you might say or do things that you're gonna regret when you're PMS-ing.  I think PMS hits the hardest especially to the overthinkers. One day you are totally fine, but the following day everyt
