My world feels good again
—
in LiveI’ve been making new friends. I’ve been meeting good people. Better people. Hopefully making better friends. I feel thankful every time I am treated nice by somebody, or when someone listens to me, smiles at me, is just plain good to me. It makes me feel that I won’t have to be so trapped in…

When I am sad I just think: I am loved.
—
in LiveThis month I feel like I have leveled-up as a person. So much happened. I’ve tried closing some lose ends with some people and while not all of it went smoothly as I’d hoped it would be, I’m still glad I took that chance. Just trying to stand up for myself this time made a…

Everything is a humbling experience
—
in LiveIf I can’t be thankful for anything, I can be thankful for that. :) Today: I don’t want to take my friends for granted. I want to thank them for so many things, and I don’t want to make them wait too long to hear how much I love them and how much I appreciate…

One of those evenings
—
in LiveC was telling me about his shoot over the weekend and I remembered when he texted me that he was jealous of Magno because he gets “recharged” by Paoie’s real hugs since she was also at the shoot. Then I remembered him asking me last Friday if A is okay because she asked about me…

In which they said I had to rate myself
—
in PonderI have a friend who, when applying for a job with foreign employers (Singaporean, actually), was asked to rate her skills from 1-5. She didn’t want to say 5 — it seemed too high as if saying you have no other room for learning because you’re reached maximum best already. She settled for a 3,…

The pressure of global competition
—
in PonderI have recently read the article “We the restless” by Fatima Avila and it speaks very closely of how I feel: Restless. I wish to tread a path similar to Fatima: have 2 years of work experience in my country, take graduate studies abroad while traveling a lot and then eventually work with an international and…

Trust yourself a little more
—
in PonderRecently I’ve found this great little place called “You the User.” In one of the posts entitled, “Touch,” she talks about trusting our own feelings because at one point, after we start out, little voices of doubt would creep in our mind telling us we are wrong. Every time we are disappointed or experience setbacks in…

Gym: quite the new, fun thing
—
in LiveI have learned to what!? Go to the gym? Hell yeah! I’ve just recently started to understand how this whole business of trying to get slimmer (or a little more toned) is definitely more fun when you’re doing it with somebody: a gym-buddy, jog-buddy, whathaveyou. The last time I tried to do anything remotely similar…
