Aaaaand just like that, tapos na festivities natin hehe. Happy new year guys! One thing we'll have to go through early 2022 is familiarizing ourselves how to write 2022 instead of 2021. Good luck sa lahat ng mga nagsusulat ng checke at mga letters haha 😂
@Marts
First book to devour this 2022! Time to recapture that “dream” - to be a Pokemon master, like no one ever was lol. What's your dream about?
@Marts
Why is it that when I need to wake up early, it's very difficult to open my eyes and gravity seems to double? But when I have ample time to rest, my body voluntarily wakes up even before the alarm rings! The irony of life lol. Good morning, rise and shine, though it's already late haha!

They say it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks, but we are not dogs and changing habits for the better will always be worth it. Breaking bad habits takes time and effort. For sure, there will be times when we will fail multiple times. But with perseverance, we can break the bad and overcome our negative habits. Just don’t quit! We can do it. Promoting my blog!

Welcoming New Year with a Flu I am writing this entry with a mind full of thoughts about work and ministry. I also have a runny nose. Yes, I am one of those whose immune systems gave up because of the changing weather and hopefully not because of the Omicron variant. It's sad how many Filipinos welcomed the year with flu. Though we have made it a laughing matter that many are queueing at drugstores for paracetamols and cough syrups, it is also an unfortunate indication of…

Second day of dealing with flu. Ayun buti kahit paano may panlasa ako. Hirap kapag wala e, wala rin appetite. Pero mahirap kasi bahing nang bahing, hirap habulin minsan hahaha! Dami ko na nauubos na tissue. Kapag face towel kasi nakakasugat ng ilong 🤧 Kumusta mga ka-ingay? Sana wala kayong trangkaso hehe.

Had a chance to watch Baywatch, the one with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. But I was surprised to see David Hasselhof (kung tama spelling) and Pamela Anderson having cameos! Grabe ang tanda ko na kasi naaalala ko pa yung Baywatch 90210 and the nostalgic sound effects kapag tumatakbo si David hahaha! Last time I watched Tremors naman, with Kevin Bacon. Sobrang luma na at di pa masyadong pulido ang CGI. Pero during my childhood, aliw na aliw ako dun, at takot na takot. Haha!…

For the first time since September last year, finally I'm able to post something on my blog! Sayang ang bayad sa domain and hosting kung hindi rin lang malalagyan ng laman. Hehe. Please do visit my blog! Malaking bagay na yung may dumagdag na web traffic. Hahaha! Labyu guys! https://martsvalenzuela.com/experience-breakthrough-at-work-dont-just-work-hard-work-smart/

An Unexpected Invitation Because of the flu which I've been dealing with since last week, I had the chance to stay at home, had an extended rest, read some books, and watch some movies and anime. These activities are like clouds' silver lining in very gloomy weather. They're something to be thankful for. But during the week I received an unexpected message from one of my Bible college professors. She teased me to get married soon so someone will take care of me when I'm…
@Marts
It's nice to be back! After a week of working from home due to flu, I'm finally back to working in the office :) I was welcomed with paperwork and collections to count and deposit to the bank - and several other deliverables. Glad to have my strength restored! Carpe diem!
@Marts
The adjacent hardware store plays songs I usually hear on Tiktok and memes on loop. A couple of hours more and it'll get stuck on my head for days haha! But they're good ah. Not the usual mumble rap and noise I hear on jeepneys.
@Marts
I don't know why but I've been fascinated with seahorses since last year haha! And now I checked out whether they're edible or not - and the answer is yes, but not advisable because of the risk of extinction and also because they don't taste any good (according to some answers). But in some eastern cultures, they're used for traditional medicines.
@Marts
For a late-riser like me, nothing beats the feeling of walking very early in the morning. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam nung init, tapos may kaunting malamig na simoy ng hangin. Tapos medyo pupungas-pungas ka pa hahaha! I always admire people na araw araw gumigising ng maaga dahil sa body clock nila. Ako kasi naghihilik pa nun ;p
@Marts
Bago ko isubsob ang sarili ko sa dibdibang bank reconciliation ngayong araw, I'd like to greet you all a happy Thursday! Isang bira na lang, Friday na ulit, then weekend na yey! And konting kembot, sweldo na ulit :) Kumusta ang mga nakikibaka sa petsa-de-peligro?
@Marts
Grabe talaga. Kung kailan naman weekend at walang pasok, ang aga ko nagising! Samantalang kapag weekdays kahit anong aga ko matulog, lagi akong parang pagod at naghahabol ng pahinga. Weird body clock 😅
@Marts
I feel happy and relieved after finishing one of my pet projects since last year - translating and contextualizing one of our discipleship materials for wider use. Kahit na ilang gabi along pinuyat ng trabahong yun at maraming araw akong hindi nakapagsulat sa ibang platforms, still - I love the feeling of ticking off an item on your to do list! Ikaw, what are your wins - big or small, for today? :)
