Reunited with my lutang but gorgiaazz friends @DearIsabelle & @MadamemoiselleJoie after almost a month. Question, okay pa ba friends ko? Kasi kahit huminga lang ako tumatawa agad sila.

Sometimes you have to play dumb, innocent, and unaware in order to figure out who is going to help you and see others for who they truly are. As I told you here: https://noise.cash/post/l056mz26, Don't play all of your high-value cards at once. π I just remembered a book I read a few years ago called The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Still, the Law 21 is my favorite. π I wonder where it is now. Good afternoon, fellas! π I'm almost finished cleaning my room. This isβ¦

Letter No. 5 Dear YOU, I know there have been many people who have wronged you and caused you so much pain, distress and trauma. But the harsh reality is that, not every single person who has hurt you will apologize. They put the blame on you, they invalidate your feelings and act as if they are not truly accountable for their actions. I understand how bad it is to deal with a narcissist. It's a colossal amount of damage. Many of us have unseen scars, wounds that we try toβ¦

IT IS WHAT IT IS This is a phrase I say a lot. Many people find it dangerous or irritating when someone has this mindset because they believe we are emotionless or uninterested about life, but the truth is it's way beyond that. It's not that we don't have emotions; it's just that we've learned to accept and grow from them. Life doesn't always go as planned, and that's okay. If someone you care so much about decides to walk out from your life, just let them leave. If you putβ¦

KILOMETER MARKERS I was scrolling through my camera roll and found this. I suddenly remember what my Dad taught me when I was in fourth grade. I was an inquisitive youngster back then.

CURATE WHAT YOU CONSUME Some people wonder how I maintain such a positive mindset while still recuperating and suffering emotional breakdowns from time to time. Being a positive thinker was not something I decided to do suddenly. It's something I've been working on for quite some time. I feel it is something that everyone is capable of achieving. One of the primary reasons I feel like I'm a positive person is because of the stuff I consume. This is one of the few things overβ¦

Throwback Thursday "We didn't realize we were making memories.

Letter No. 6 Dear YOU, There are no right or wrong choices. It all boils down to how you commit and accept responsibility for them.

SELF-WORTH A high feeling of self-worth is thinking that you are deserving of good things regardless of the challenges you face, the disappointments you experience, or the opinions of others. When you're trapped in a cycle of harmful negative self-talk, it's basically impossible to feel good about yourself. (Yet, almost by default, our minds work in this manner! It svcks, I know.) All too often, we believe that what we tell ourselves is unimportant. But it does. How can youβ¦

Hey! Have you ever admired someone's way of thinking? 'Cause I do. Someone's way of thinking has a strong impact since it is the most fascinating part of a person's personality.
