I'm done with my manuscript for Sunday yay thank you Lord. Tomorrow I'll work on the PowerPoint presentation and then I can relax na on Saturday ☺️ It pays to do your tasks earlier. Mas napo-polish ang trabaho, mas nabibigyan ng justice. Iwas cramming pa hehe. ☺️
@Marts
Here at SM Marikina for quick escape to weeklong activities + date syempre lol. Have you tried Ovaltine cookies? I just discovered it recently at nagpabili ako kahapon. Masarap siya! Kaya dumaan din ako ngayon sa Savemore at bumili haha! Medyo pricey, 45-50 pesos pero ayun masarap e hehe. May by 3s din na tig-10 pesos I guess.
@Marts
Masyadong busy ang araw na ito! What I did: - preached the message I prepared for the whole week - attended a meeting, pero I had to excuse myself kasi may naghihintay sa akin - went to TMC SM Marikina para samahan kunin ang lab exams ni gf - went to SM Fairview for dinner date lol mall tour lang 😂 - multiple byahe in between 😂 yung box of donuts na binili ko, napisak pa kasi dinaganan ko ng bag lol di na tuloy appetizing TMI pero ok lang. Namiss ko ang noise e. Haha!…
@Marts
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercy never comes to an end. They are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness 🥰 Today's another week to conquer! And God is with us in every step of the way! ☺️ Have a blast! Blessings, my noise friends ☺️

All along I thought dala ko yung envelope ko with my money pero nung paalis na ako kanina, ibang envelope pala dala ko! Naiwan ko yung pera sa office lol. Nakaleave ako today dahil may lakad. Aga ko pa naman gumising para maaga makaalis. Ending need ko pumunta pa rin sa office para kunin yung pera. At kinailangan ko maghintay ng taong papasok dahil wala akong susi. Sayang oras! TL:DR nakaleave pero need pumuntang office dahil may naiwan.

Walking on a Limp I'm literally limping on my left foot while writing this entry. It's been more than a week since I wrote an entry. I never imagined this to be my topic for my comeback post. But still, it's nice to be back - for now. June is a busy month! I thought otherwise because I just finished a term in school. It turns out I have to accomplish more than I expected to do. And the funny thing is, my foot is making me suffer! If you're wondering what's the limp all…

Good news indeed! MIBF will be held onsite after two years of being online! :) My heart is happy. Manila friends who are into books, kita-kits tayo dun!

Grabe pagod na pagod ako for two days meeting. Tapos I attended a banquet after. Kulang na kulang sa tulog. Kaya sobrang precious ng oras kagabi nung matutulog na. Ayun tanghali na nagising today 😂

It would be great when we all have the same take on issues but we are not wired like that. We are made diverse. We thrive on variety. Imagine what a monotonous world it would be if everything we see and hear is the same.

Reclaim Your Life Through Digital Minimalism Since the start of the Philippine election season, I did not expect that social media will get even more toxic than it used to be. The platform that was once teeming with cutesy pictures of cats and food became a battleground for ideologies, which is good by the way - until hatred and mudslinging and fake news peddling took over. Whatever happened to the "social" in social media? So I decided to turn off my notifications and…

We need to reclaim our lives if we think we have been greatly influenced by social media's ill effects. We don't want to be overcome by technology, but we must be above it - always. https://read.cash/@Marts/reclaim-your-life-through-digital-minimalism-ef3e3d09

What I love about working in a Christian-ministry company is the opportunity to participate in office devotions every once in a while. In our case, almost every day. Hearing God's word regularly increases my faith and encourages me to look at life with hope ☺️

Sobrang hassle pala mag-asikaso ng mga Electric and Water installation. Daming mga inspection, requirements at kung anu-ano. Pabalik-balik, paulit-ulit. Nakaka-stress.

Reclaim Your Life Through Digital Minimalism (2) This is my first time posting something sort of a sequel. Last time I wrote about the things I do that I consider digital minimalism. Those things help me to minimize the digital noise and clutter that I receive from excessive social media intake. We need to protect our mental health at all costs, and we have to do it intentionally. You may read my previous post here: **Reclaim Your Life Through Digital Minimalism**…

I reinstalled Ragnarok M: Eternal Love (I wonder if it still goes by the same name) at nasa learning curve na naman ako. Parang hindi ko na alam ang mga keys and commands. Ang dami nang pinagbago :) Ang dami nang high-tier jobs and ang lawak na masyado ng maps. Ngayon nalilito na ako if Ragnarok M ba or Genshin Impact pa rin. Pero may bago pa e, Nino Ku Ni. Di ko pa nasusubukan. Pampawala ng stress paminsan kapag free time :) Naglalaro din ba kayo ng MMORPG?
@Marts
New article is up! Read it here: https://read.cash/@Marts/reclaim-your-life-through-digital-minimalism-2-550a13a0 I learned that not everything we see on social media is real and neither healthy. Some will make you question things and concepts, some will trigger you emotionally, while some will just waste your time. Social media is not evil. It is always neutral. But it is highly addictive. So, caveat social media users.

Medyo nawindang ako kakahanap ng mga vouchers about car registration. Pahirapan! Kaya pala kahit anong tanong nila sa akin di ko masagot kasi wala akong idea, nakaleave pala ako nung time na nirelease yung funds lol.

Minsan pipili ka lang talaga e. Magsusulat ka for readcash pero no chance makapagsulat for writing gig. Kung dun sa isa, no chance to write for readcash. Haha. Kung dalawang output ang habol ko, dapat afternoon ko gawin ang isa para di masyadong nakakadrain 😅 haay so many things to do, so little time. Aight! Sleep na tayo mga kaibigan!

Things I Wish I Should Have Known Earlier We often say that regrets come later in life. After all the things we have done in the past - whether beneficial or not, it's always the latter part do we realize if we fared good or bad. I too have my share of what-ifs and should-haves. But as much as I can, I don't let these things spoil what I can become. I know that no one can turn back the hands of time so we just have to make the most of what we have now. However, there are…

Kahit anong encouragement ko sa officemate ko na wag siyang kabahan dahil may audit kami today, feel ko na talagang kabado pa rin siya ☺️ I know na ok naman ang systems and processes namin sa office kaya nothing to worry about. Yun nga lang iba siguro ang perception niya about audit. Pero today na may upcoming audit nga daw kami, hoping things will be A-OK. Ma-improve ang dapat ma-improve at pumasa naman nawa kami hehe

Raising up a Generation of Fathers Fathers' Day is just around the corner. In a few days, the world will momentarily focus on the patriarchy - but not that much because we all know that, unlike Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day is less commercialized and less talked about. Perhaps the reason is that we are witnessing a growing number of absentee and irresponsible fathers. We all know families whose headship of the family was transferred either to the mother who struggles to keep…
@Marts
The world is in need of fathers. And we are glad to have them around! Perhaps you are blessed to have one in your own family or circle. Salute to them! But it would be great if we can multiply them. I believe raising up a generation of 'men with spine' is a community project. We can do this! https://read.cash/@Marts/raising-up-a-generation-of-fathers-d71794c0

Patapos na naman ang weekend but I realize na the lesser time I spend on noise or read or even other social media during weekends mean longer quality time I spend with loved ones! Yun nga lang walang FTs yun lol. But still, masaya naman. Fulfilling! Happy Father's Day sa lahat ng katatayan!

Wala kaming boss for the week pero maraming trabaho and phone-in tasks. So parang ganun din haha! Pero parang mas marami akong nagagawa kapag di ako masyadong distracted sa mga spontaneous utos ☺️ At maagang nakauwi today haha!

Stay Calm Even Under Stressful Situations Last Sunday, our church preacher shared the story of when Jesus calmed the storm. A little story background: Jesus was with his disciples and they were traveling via boat. Physically exhausted from his ministry, Jesus fell sound asleep on the stern. Until a storm came and rampaged their voyage. Giant waves slammed against the boat. The disciples were too afraid because they thought it will be their last. So they tried to wake up…

Are you a dog person or a cat person? I prefer dogs. Mga pusa kasi parang walang pakialam hahaha! Ang medyo nakakalungkot lang talaga sa pag-aalaga ng pets yung life span nila ang ikli lang compared to humans. Heartbreaking talaga when you lose a pet. Actually that's one of the things I don't want to happen sa mga dogs ko. Kaya everyday I make sure they feel loved ☺️ Woof woof!

Today, I Resisted the Urge to Bring Home Work This week is one of the rare times when we don't have our boss around in the office. But it's not that we can just do whatever we like. It's not like, "when the mouse is away, the mice will play." We have a lot of things to do, only we are free to work around our schedule. Our focus is output. To be honest, I was looking forward to this week because I want to face off squarely with all my tasks with little to no interruptions. As…

Inabot na naman ako ng ulan, and for the second time dun na naman sa may punong acacia sa may isang street sa amin hahaha. Kapag nakarating na ako dun sa puno na yun tsaka bububos nang malakas. E ilang metro na lang yun papuntang bahay namin 😂

I don't know why pero naaaliw akong manood ng Pokemon na anime lately. Pero ginagawa ko, pinapanood ko at 1.5x speed haha!

A Messed-up Dynamic I have listened to countless stories of youth (and adults, even) who struggle to understand their family dynamics. I can relate to some of their narratives. If only I can help them, but I can only do so much. I tried to profile some of the stories I heard about, and while writing this, I felt pain. This is not just a by-product of my words and thoughts.

Be a Better Leader Leading people is one of the most challenging things every one of us will ever encounter. We may not lead large-scale like those in businesses or organizations, but we are leaders in our own ways. We have our families to influence, younger siblings perhaps, or even a leadership opportunity due to our involvement in church, school, or community. The baton of leadership is just around us. What makes leadership difficult? It's the people themselves! Machines…

Langya yung Man vs Bee sa Netflix. Lakas maka-stress! Bale 9 episodes lang siya with 10-12 mins so mabilis lang matapos. Tsaka sobrang nakakatuwa-nakakatawa-nakakainis-nakakagigil talaga siya haha! At kung bakit siya masayang panoorin? Kasi si Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) ang bida haha! Kaya ewan ko na lang 😂

Just came back to the office galing sa graduation ceremony :) Nakakatuwa naman, face-to-face na ang graduation nila. Last year when I graduated, online lang kami. Kaya nakaka-overwhelm yung feeling na makabalik sa 'graduation atmosphere'. Sa lahat ng graduating ngayong school year, congratulations!

Broken Crayons Still Color I know how it feels to pity myself for being too needy with no one helping me. I know how embarrassing it is to ask for help and receive criticism and disgust instead. I have experienced guilt and shame, unworthiness, and hopelessness. I’ve been through worse. Sometimes we think our lives are so messed up that we think we no longer matter, and we do not deserve anything good. We think less of ourselves because of what happened in the past. We may…

Mindset ba. Mindset. This phrase has crept into every Filo newsfeed: ***“mindset ba, mindset.”*** This is often paired with memes or silly hacks guised as an alternative idea. Though this new trend is primarily made for fun, I love what it implies – when everyone else thinks the same, think differently. When everybody else is going in the same direction, go the opposite. Think creatively. Think outside the box. Don’t be limited with what you have now. Expand your mindset.…
