Holiday/Life Update/Life Lesson

Good morning! Today is a national holiday in the Philippines, so I have the time to blog and draw. I was busy the last two days because Christmas is coming and we have to plan ahead. Currently, I have three parties to attend to. Hmm, I might drop one though because my plate is overflowing. Also, we have A HivePH Christmas party but no date announced yet. In addition to that, I am giving away an NFT minted on NFT Showroom.

About the holiday

Today, we are celebrating one of our heroes Andres Bonifacio. He is the Father of the Philippine Revolution. He died at the age of 33.

Life Update

Busy for the upcoming holiday

We Filipinos love celebrating Christmas and New Year. In fact, we start decorating our home with holiday decorations at the start of Ber month. Probably because the country was influenced much by the Roman Catholic. As the holiday is approaching, I got busy with meetings and planning. As I said earlier, I have three parties to attend, but I am not sure if I am able to attend them all. In the virtual world, I will be attending a Discord Christmas party and which would be a two-day party. I have to make an NFT too for the giveaway.

A Friend of Mine Passed Away

I was about to sleep already when I noticed that my phone keeps vibrating. I always put my phone on vibrate mode before going to bed. I was so bothered that I had to take a look. I was so shocked by what I read. A friend of mine passed away that night. He was seen in his apartment lifeless. Apparently, he only sleeps under 3 hours, drinks a lot, and smokes a lot. Also, he had a lingering sickness, which he stopped taking maintenance. We were so devasted by what happened because we never thought that he will pass away at such a young age.

The lesson I learned

We truly have one life and one body. Money is replaceable, but your life isn't. It is okay to grind until you meet your goals but we also have to listen to our bodies. It was a warning for us his friends, actually. In my case, I really prioritize sleep. I once had a problem with my period cycle because I used to sleep late. I committed myself to sleep early at 10:30 PM, and after two months, my regular cycle is back. So, a little sacrifice goes a long way. I also avoid sodas and salty snacks. I prefer bread and tea. I only allow myself to drink alcohol or soda during weekends and on occasion.

Well, life is unpredictable indeed.

That is it for this blog. I will see you at the next one!
