An Open Letter to Someone

Dear You, 


I just want to say hi. I hope you're doing fine. I hope that everything is going well in your life. I want you to know that I am proud of you. I am proud of the way you handle things lately, especially the hard situations in your life. I am so proud that, despite all the uncertainties, you still chose to live. You are a fighter for doing that. 

Know that you don't have to achieve anything big to say that you are proud of yourself. Be proud of all the things, big or small, that you are able to achieve. I know how hard you try every single day just to fight the battles inside yourself that no one knows about. I know that each day you do your best to not kill anyone. Just kidding. But seriously, I know that you do your best and with all your might just to be nice to everyone you encounter. You don't want to hurt anyone. You just want to spread kindness and positivity to everyone that you meet. It's just that you cannot really avoid people who seem to test your patience. It's okay to lose your temper sometimes. But be sure to go back to the most polite version of yourself as soon as possible. Do not let other people bring out the worst in you. As much as possible, never take things personally. You are the only one who knows your authentic self. Do not believe other people who tell you otherwise. 

Be gentle with yourself. Do not pressure yourself. You don't have a timeline to follow. You are the only one who is responsible for setting your own timeline, not your friends or family, and most especially not social media. Do your own thing at your own pace. Never think that you are behind in life. We will all get there when the time is right. But do not be complacent and just wait for that "time." Of course, you still have to work for whatever you want to achieve. But not to the point that you are already overworking or that you forget to take care of yourself. It's important to remember that you have to put yourself first. Your well-being will dictate how well you will do in life. Your mental state should always be healthy and full of positivity. 

Again, I just want to let you know that I'm proud of you. You got this. You've already been through so much for you to back down now. You're doing great. Do not let all your efforts just to make it to today go to waste. Just keep on doing your best every day. Continue to be good to people, including yourself. And don't forget to ask for guidance and grace from God. He's the only one who can help you throughout your journey.




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
