Of all the margarine brands and variants, Star Margarine Sweet Blend is my favorite, especially when paired with hot bread. 😅

My momentum app tells me to "eat the frog" and I was like, "what?" But upon searching the meaning of the idiom, it says if you wish to be successful in life, then you have to take immediate and necessary actions without overthinking too much. To eat the frog is also another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first. Just do it! Overthinking cripples us to the point that our analysis leads us…
Too much internet for today! I'll come back later... in a few minutes? Lol. I still have a lot on my plate. But I'm energized today! Hoping to sustain it until my shift's over :) Greetings, people! Have a blast!
So I entered the food trip chamber and here I am, drooling over food from different cultures and lunch prepared by my co-Filipinos. Haha! I feel stuffed and hungry at the same time. How weird is that?
I saw this huge spider while walking in Picnic Grove in Tagaytay. I'm not a fan of arachnids but this is interesting because even though there are lots of tourists, the spider is not bothered. It stays on its web, with a fascinating view in background, and a cool breeze to enjoy. Sometimes we have to be like this eight-legged creature. Don't mind the fuss around. Enjoy what nature's given you. Keep your peace.
Listening to the songs I used to enjoy when I was still in college! FM Static, Secondhand Serenade, Matchbox 20, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus --- the best of alternative rock!
Just finished my zoom seminar on non-fiction writing and right now, my desire to write a book reignites! Sana talaga masundan na young una. Kahit nakapila na yung second book namin, still I'm looking forward na makapagpa-publish with my own writing voice and byline. :) Childhood dream ko na until now hindi ko pa rin binibitawan. :) Sana Kairos moment ko na ang 2022!
Papa is currently watching a replay of Hidilyn's historic Olympic gold moment! Nakakaproud talaga young moment na yun for us, kasi bukod sa unang ginto natin to, it meant a lot for us kasi napatunayan natin na kaya naman talaga natin makipag-compete sa ibang bansa if only our athletes are given their much needed support. Sana masundan agad ang unang ginto natin sa Olympics!
Thank you, Lord, for the calm a few hours before my actual work begins. I so love the pocket of time to pause for a while, do whatever I can do that is not work-related, take a deep breath and be mindful of my surroundings. In a few minutes, I'll fill my mind with tons of info to process ~~~ Ohayou gozaimasu!
Grabe yung pagod ko kaka-repack ng mga Christmas packages. Ramdam na ramdam ko na nagulat ang mga muscles at kasu-kasuan ko sa trabahong bigla nilang sinabak hahaha! Siguro nalito sila, "akala ko ba office staff tayo? Bakit biglang nagkakarga ng mga boxes at mga lata lata?" lol Yung pagod ko pang-next week na agad. haha!
Tuwang tuwa ako sa pancit habhab na nakain ko kahapon sa isang Christmas party, that I have to take a shot of this vinegar na mas nagpasarap dun sa pancit. Di ako fan ng pancit pero iba yung linamnam nung pancit habhab lol. Di kaya nilagyan ng pampaadik? Lol. Might order again, for family naman. Haha!
Glad to be in church today! And also I'm glad kasi unti unti nang bumabalik yung sigla ng mga tao sa church. Sana magbalik na rin sa dati, pre-pandemic. Iba pa rin ang worship in-person kasya virtual hehe. Blessed Sunday, folks!
Hindi ako nakajoin sa Christmas party kahapon kahit na naka-cowboy attire pa ako 😂 dami ko kasing need gawin na hindi pwedeng iwan, pero talagang sinecure ko yung food ko! Di pwedeng wala yun ah hehe. Simula na ng Christmas party season! Ramdam niyo na ba? Anong plans niyo? Ako plan kong magtago sa mga inaanak lol
There's another NFT game that is getting attention but after losing and failing in some NFT games, think twice muna siguro. Though nakaka-tempt bumili talaga! Haha! Sana na lang talaga marami tayong pambili lol.
This weekend, I have finished watching the last episode ng 9th season ng Naruto sa Netflix, yung Gaara vs Artisan village arc (matagal ko na siyang nasimulan hahaha, lately ko lang natapos). Personally, except for a few episodes, parang dragging ng story --- until mag-jump na ako sa Shippuden. Lol, nandun pala ang action haha! Feeling ko nagiging bata na naman ako. Ngayon ko lang nakikilala ang mga characters hahaha! Decades late na yata ako lol.
Sarap sa katawan ng lamig pero kung dadampi na sa balat yung tubig sobrang ginaw hahaha! Grabe sa feeling na maghugas ng kamay at mukha lol. Buti na lang holiday sarap matulog. Magandang tanghalian na! 😂
Time Could Be Your Best Friend or Worst Enemy We tend to slack off when things are going smoothly. When I was still a student, I have had a lot of experiences cramming for exams and projects. I am not proud of those moments, but still, I can glean important life lessons from those experiences. Perhaps one of the most memorable cramming moments I had was our survey for our feasibility study. We were supposed to conduct a market survey and we were given ample time to do it.…

As soon as I sat down sa desk ko kanina, sunod-sunod na agad ang mga need kong gawin. Coming from a holiday and in preparation for tomorrow's meeting, expected ko na rin na talagang may pile up haha! Pero naman kasi. Haha!
Reading this precious gem while waiting for my officemates! Napaaga ako masyado ng pasok, sarado pa ang office 😅 Happy Friday everyone! Long day ahead as we'll have our 2022 planning and calendaring 😂 bakbakan na! Lol
When family members help each other, burdens get lighter and easier. When they ignore each other, problems get heavier. Be a blessing, not a burden. ❤️
Don't stay in a toxic relationship just because you've grown familiar with it. You are not a doormat that is meant to be trampled on. You are worthy of all the respect, love and joy. Don't settle for less. Choose yourself.
Latest finds from Book Sale! Hoping to read these (at hindi lang basta matambak) need ko kasi ng second wind of ideas for my book project. Tagal nang due ng manuscript di ko pa rin matapos tapos haha! Good morning! 🥰
Respect boundaries - including yours. Sometimes not being able to say NO to people's requests causes us to neglect our own needs. We compromise not just our schedule, but we also compromise our mental health by allowing others to invade our boundaries. So next time someone oversteps his/her boundaries, learn to say NO no matter how hard it seems. You'll be thankful you did.

Some people are pleasant to be with, na kahit makita mo lang siya masaya ka na at buo ang araw mo. Hindi ka nai-stress at palagi kang at peace kapag nandyan sila. Also, may mga taong makita mo pa lang feeling mo balisa ka na agad. Parang feeling mo you're walking on eggshells. Hindi ka dapat magkamali, otherwise mapapagalitan ka, mapupulaan ka or may masasabing hindi maganda sayo.
I don't know with you pero masaya talaga sa pakiramdam na nakakatulog ka sa office. Wag ka lang talagang mapapasobra, at maghihilik lol. Lunch time na guys! :)
Trying to regain my habit of reading a few chapters in the morning before I dive into work. Nakaka-refresh ng isip :) I've been focused sa trabaho in the past few months na halos di ko na magawang magbasa-basa para maiba naman ang focus. Glad I have pockets of time lately. Happy midweek!
Torn between taking a nap or taking my lunch. Haaay, decisions. Lol Kasi naman nung nagkape ako kagabi ng 8pm, nag-take effect nung mga 11pm na at di na ako nakatulog agad, inabot na ako ng 1am bago tuluyang nakapagpahinga. Saklap.
Moira playlist in the air! Perfect sa araw na kailangan mo ng energy, para maraming magawang trabaho dahil may meeting ka tomorrow at kailangan mo magproduce ng mga reports. Yay Moira, pampagana! Lol. Pero srsly, masarap siyang pakinggan kahit medyo nakakaantok ang boses, nakakarelax naman haha. Right in the feels.
It's just an anime episode, no need to be sentimental The anime episode: Shikamaru dealing with Asuma's death This episode hits right in the feels 😭 Sometimes we think we can overcome pain by masking it and pretending nothing's wrong. But unless we deal with it head on, we'll never fully heal. Pain will haunt us. Regrets will try to overcome us. We will not be OK until we let it out. Contrary to what others think, dealing with pain is a beautiful mess. It makes us grounded.…
Hindi sa lahat ng panahon ay may kailangan kang patunayan. Minsan kailangan mo lang tumigil, magpahinga, lalo kung nahihirapan. Tao ka, napapagod, napupundi, Hindi ka kasangkapan. At kung umabot ka sa punto na wala ka nang masulingan --- Pakinggan ang Tinig na hindi ka nililisan --- may Diyos kang sandigan!
Sayang si Mauie pero at least Marian FTW! Lakas! At ang ganda ng mga song compositions ah :p Gusto ko talaga ang feeling of excitement ng mga grand finals ng kahit anong competition haha!
I hate to say this but ang hassle mag-asikaso ng mga docs sa SSS dahil sa pandemic protocols :( Ok na sana dahil at least nai-introduce na yung virtual transactions pero yung appointment system sobrang tagal huhu. The earliest I can book have ay sa May 2022 pa! Redeeming factor yung bilis nila sumagot sa Twitter. +1 sila dun. Pero still. Huhu. Pa-isa lang. lol.
Good morning noisers! Today is the last day of work and later we'll have our annual Christmas celebration :) I already prepared my gifts for my co-workers and it's been a while since I prepared such. But what I'm excited about is the fact that after today, it's already Christmas break! Yay!
Brace yourselves, nagdadatingan na ang mga inaanak! Ready na ba ang mga malulutong na paper bills? 😂 Merry Christmas, ninong at ninang!
Ayaw ko pa sanang bumalik sa work kasi naka-holiday mode pa ako pero ayun, need na e haha! Dami na ulit gagawin, and meeting agad! Tapos may another party pa ulit. Huhu. Ayaw ko na sana kung pwede lang. Pero kailangan sumunod para sa ekonomiya. 😂
Taas kamay na may spaghetti pa until now? Haha! Usually hindi na kami naghahanda nang marami tuwing Christmas kasi 4 lang naman kami in the family. A simple dinner will do. Di na rin namin masyadong hinihintay ang 12mn ng 25 :) I guess downside ng medyo small family yun hehe. But New Year's Eve is a different story for us. Dun kami nagpeprepare, nagga-gather for family prayer and may bisitang kamag-anak :) mas nagpupuyat kami haha. Ayun. Skl 😅
In a few days' time, people will be posting their essay-length realizations, reflections, and New Year's hopes and goals. Let's support one another by affirming them! Let's not make fun of their "essays". Let gratitude pour in! Happy new year, everyone!
Ilang araw na rin akong nananaginip ng donuts. Pero tonight medyo masaklap kasi abot kamay ko na siya pero di ako makakuha kasi may mga dumating na bisita tapos sila ang kumain lol. Hahaha! Weird naman 😂
Minsan lang ako magpakulo sa social media. Pero seryoso ako! Ang limang huling magcomment, bibigyan ako ng 1000 GCash. Game? 🥳🎉
