Friendships: Not Everything is Forever While I grew up believing that everyone is my friend and that we will be together until the end of time, reaching adulthood made me realize that most friendships are not meant to last forever and that it is better that way. Friends are like family to me, and they are a treasure. I am always deeply and emotionally invested in considering people my friend and may be this is where I go wrong at some point especially when the relationship…

Songs that Turned 10 in 2022 **AT EXACTLY TEN YEARS AGO**, we’ve been at every beat of these iconic songs of our generation. Ten years ago, I was young, reckless, and I was having fun dancing together with freedom with every word of its lyrics. Music industry totally emerged in year 2012 by the help of digital distribution. Many dreaming to be artists finally landed on their stars and shone bright at their stage. I see it as a privilege that I was young and free at that…

Is it worth drinking to avoid problems? I have seen a lot of scenarios here and there and one of which is the situation wherein someone go inside a bar or somewhere else, buy some alcohol drinks, and drink a lot of it. Sometimes, it is a party or celebration, but sometimes, it is also done by others to drink away their problems. **The question is, can you really drink your problems away?** The answer could be no, you can't. The effects of alcohol may temporarily alleviate…

TGIF: A Day in the City Before sinking into the world of requirements and books, we went out with my friends and classmates to get a needed document for our scholarship in school and took the whole day to get along with each other. *Are you ready? Let me share to you the simple yet magnificent little things we’ve done for today.* First thing, we went to the municipal hall supposedly to get a certification but they are not processing it for this day so we went to the…

Add to Heart: Why We Shop and How to Shop Do you ever just find yourself adding so much in your online cart and the next thing you knew, you’ve already placed your order? Then, you shamelessly wonder why you have so many parcels on their way to you. Now, you start to laugh with regret. A lot of you might have started a hobby or an addiction to online shopping, especially when the pandemic started. We were not able to buy on physical stores and shop for items personally.…

Like Ants do, Let's Make the Dream Work As a child, I am always amazed every time I hear somebody else, particularly adults, saying that ants are like superheroes since they have strong power, that they can carry things even if they are ten times heavier than them as if they are super heavy weight lifting champions. So as I was contemplating a while ago about some lessons I want to share, this idea about the lessons we can learn from ants came to my mind. Ants can teach us a…

Mental Health Matters Every day, we deal with the uncertainties of life. We strive and do our best but not at all times, we can decipher what is waiting for us in the corner and we’re just left there – stuck in the same position. Our mental health is being challenged more than we ever know; mostly, we just ignore it because as humans, we have defense mechanisms but as we continue to hide, it will only get heavier and heavier. To help each and every one of us, here are some…

What Happened to Philippine Cinema? Have you tried watching old movies on the television? When I was younger, I really skipped those movies because I thought they aren’t good and the resolution weren’t high as well. But upon learning, when those films were being filmed and shown, it was actually what we consider as the Golden Age of Philippine Cinema. The 1930s were a time when people began to learn about the film genre as a method for making art and display the talent of…

Don't point your finger at the rainbow, and it'll melt. As a child, I often hear some older people, especially our neighbors, not point my finger every time I see a canvas of different colors or simply a rainbow in the sky. The reason that they always told me before is that it was going to melt. Of course, it is impossible for that thing to happen because, in the first place, how will it happen? Does the rainbow have some laser to cut the finders down or an extremely hot…

Encouragement, Confidence, and Self-esteem I may not only be the one suffering in being not confident about myself and having low self-esteem so I decided to write about it. Having been in this long journey alone of fighting myself and pushing myself down, I realized that I am the only one who could help myself. Confident people are not only eager to put in the time and effort to improve, but they are also willing to accept that they do not - and cannot - know it all.…

Overcoming Fears It is a fundamental feature of life that we are utterly oblivious of our own existence. There are many things about ourselves that we are not aware of. We concentrate on all of the things that could go wrong and in how many different ways they could. We are unsure as to what it is that our core is looking for in the first place. When we are on a route where we are unsure of what will happen, we experience fear of the unknown. Fear is a natural and powerful…

Let’s start our mini tour, shall we? **Cebu City** Cebu City is a promising city; aside from the beautiful spots all around…

Yay, It’s Weekend! **Weekends are days when I get to spend time with myself**. After a long and exhausting week, I'm finally able to rest and spend time doing the things that I enjoy. While attending college, academics can be extremely difficult and draining, with a never-ending stream of assignments, exercises and modules to complete as well as performance activities and reading materials to keep up with. I'm doomed if I don't get a weekend because, despite the fact that…

The Goodness of the Sea I simply want to narrate what occurred on this particular Sunday, the 27th day of March in the year 2022. Because of the extreme heat, I made the decision yesterday to inform my family and relatives that we would be going to the beach first thing in the morning the following day. Fortunately, they authorized it and scheduled the departure for 5 a.m. the next morning. Because of a little bit of excitement, I like to sleep late, and I ended up sleeping…

Hair Fall Solutions Hair fall is one of my top problems. There’s always a particular month in every year that I experience hair fall and it makes me worry and stressed. My hair would be falling even if I am not touching it. I even get afraid to comb my hair because so much hair falls off and I can see it right through my eyes. Even when I wake up in the morning, my hair would be scattered on my pillow. When I rinse my hair while I’m taking a bath, I could see a bunch of my…

Yay, it's Thursday! Thursday is the day after the midpoint of the week. It means that the weekend many of us always enjoy is just around the corner again. So today I hope to become more productive, and I will probably do some exercise after this post. One thing I am thankful about today is that we will just have two classes, which means that we will have more time to prepare for the two classes and more time to spend on ourselves, like having more sleep or doing some hobbies…
