No shame in saying you’re tired kasi hindi madali magpanggap na masaya sa trabaho na hindi ka na kilala 👋

An open letter to July, This is me welcoming you. This is me being kind to you. This is me smiling at you and giving you positive vibes. Six months have passed and I went through a lot. I have met two-faced people, learned from my vulnerability, loved, accepted defeat, cried, felt broken, went to new places, been to downfalls, and most importantly, I've been happy. Nothing much happened for the past half of the year, but I learned to forgive myself more. I learned to accept…
It honestly feels so good to finally receive the kind of love you used to pour out for everyone else. Brent—the most misunderstood. And Mika—consistently choosing him every single day. There’s something comforting about knowing someone has your back, even when the world doesn’t. Masarap sa pakiramdam na may kakampi ka. Two people often called “fake,” misunderstood, judged. But what if their hearts are just genuinely pure? Not everyone will get them. And maybe they don’t have…
But do you understand that in 50 years from now your body will not have the mobility and energy it has now? You simply won't have the ability to handle a 24-hour travel day or walk 20k steps in a foreign city. You are in a once-in-a-lifetime window where your body is capable of doing everything. And you're asking yourself whether to go on that trip? Stf* and go, fly to that country and do it all while you can.
Sometimes the best revenge is doing your work well without letting their attitude change your heart 💪
The past weeks (well ever since the year started) I feel like I’ve been on auto pilot. Do this call, do that meeting, finish this project, meet deadlines - and somehoooow still make time for loved ones and take care of my health. It’s been a lot and I’ve been complaining about it. But wait… Right… I prayed for this. I prayed for work. I prayed for good relationships. I prayed for a meaningful life. And if a beautiful meaningful life means I have to put in the work - then…
in english, we say, "can i be a child, again?" but in poetry, we say, let me go back to sun-warmed floors and bedtime stories, to a world where monsters lived only under beds—not in my thoughts

In a world where social media shines a spotlight only on success, it’s easy to feel pressured — like you’re falling behind while everyone else is racing ahead. But remember: most people don’t post the nights they cried, the times they failed, or the moments they wanted to give up. They don’t show the slow, silent battles they fought to get there. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PATH, your own rhythm, and your own timing. Growth doesn’t need to be rushed. What matters isn’t how fast you…
Trending ’tong post na ’to ngayon na kapupulutan ng aral… It reminds us that we need to be responsible for our own finances. Yes, mahalaga ang tulungan, pero hindi dapat default na solusyon ang paghingi sa mga taong nagtagumpay dahil lang mas nakakaangat na sila ngayon. What we don’t often see is this: Behind someone’s comfort are years of sacrifices, patience, and hard work. Hindi natin alam ang mga araw na nagtiis, nagtipid, at nagparaya sila. Hindi porket magaan na ang…
this is my thoughts about bini's latest interview where they tried filipino snacks. honestly, i found it really disappointing. i understand that everyone has their own taste, and not all filipino food will be everyone's favorite, but the way they reacted came off as dismissive and disrespectful. it’s not even about liking or disliking the food it’s about how you respond to something that represents your culture. they looked genuinely grossed out, and it felt like they…
While kindness and friendliness are generally good traits, being overly friendly or too accommodating can sometimes lead others to take you for granted or not take you seriously. People may misinterpret excessive friendliness as weakness or a lack of boundaries, which can lead to disrespect, manipulation, or exploitation.
Some may have crossed the finish line faster. But we all showed up, and that’s all that matters. 💪
Sometimes behind every successful employee is a mentor who stays quiet quietly guiding, quietly cheering, never asking for credit. Sobrang humble...Thank you! 🙌
I wish we all had the chance to choose the life we really want— not the one expected of us, not the one that just looks good from the outside. But the life that feels right. To walk away from noise, from pressure, from expectations we never asked for. Like Kisses Delavin— who once stood in the spotlight, but chose peace instead. Now living simply, quietly, but fully. Because sometimes, real success isn’t being seen by many— it’s being at peace with yourself, even if no one’s…
You are allowed to dream and grieve all the "what could have beens" in this lifetime. To miss the alternates. To long for what was never yours. And to cry over the things that missed you. And that only means one thing - love, in its very nature, do not cease to genuinely teach you to be unconditional. It makes you go far beyond. It is never about the bliss of it alone. It speaks from the cracks of a heartbreak and continues to bloom even if it does not bring you anything in…
A Heartbreaking Story I saw on the news and social media.. and it broke me.... It was raining hard last July 19, 2025 in Baguio. Storm Crising had brought strong winds and heavy rain. A huge boulder broke loose from the mountain in Camp 7, Kennon Road. It rolled down and crushed a red car and a house. The family had already evacuated. They were safe..... But their dog, a beautiful, stocky exotic bully, was still there. He was inside a cage. He had no way to escape. And when…
A reminder that some forms of connection can’t be downloaded or streamed. They have to be felt. Beyond screens, there’s this. And it’s enough.
may all the homeless people, stray dogs and cats stay safe and dry during this rainy season. if we have the privilege to help others, let's do so. stay safe, everyone!
You can be the ripest peach kissed by morning sun, soft with kindness, sweet with soul. And still, someone will pass you by, reaching for something bitter, something not you. It does not make you less golden. It does not steal your sweetness. It only proves this: not every tongue is meant to taste your kind of gentle. Be the peach anyway. Soft. Whole. Unapologetically you. Kanunay, Hilary
Bawat "lahi" ay mahalaga. Sa maraming bagay, hindi sila "magkaiba" . Ps. Andami na namang mga aso ang basa at nanginginig sa daan.
One day, your child won't have to be the family breadwinner because you chose to break the cycle. They'll get to keep their whole salary bring a-packed lunch to work,'and maybe even be picked up after a long day. They won't grow up carrying the weight you had to bear. Because of your love, they'll have the freedom to just be a child. No guilt, no pressure... just the peace of knowing they are safe, supported, and free.
Someday you’ll realize it was never about how much you achieved or how perfectly you kept it all together. It was about how it felt to live your actual life—not the highlight reel, not the version you edited for everyone else. You’ll laugh at how long you carried things that were never yours to hold: the pressure, the roles, the expectations. I’ve dropped so much of that lately—perfection, people-pleasing, pretending—and let me tell you, peace is underrated. I don’t need a…
At habang lumalayo ako para tuparin ang mga pangarap na minsan sila rin ang unang naniwala, sila naman ngayon ang naiwan sa tahimik na bahay, naghihintay ng yapak ko sa sahig, at ng boses kong matagal nang hindi naririnig maliban sa linya ng telepono. Napagtanto ko, na habang binubuo ko ang buhay ko, unti-unti ring nababakante ang mundo nila, at hindi nila sinasabi, pero ramdam kong ako na ang iniintay gaya ng pag-intay ko noon sa kanila. Hindi na pala ako ang naghihintay na…
Gusto ko na umuwi...
What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.
"Realizing that you can no longer get mad at your dad, but instead forgive him, because when you look at him, all you see is a scared little boy that did everything he had to do to survive and he never got the opportunity to heal like you did💔"
I was stuck in a cycle of endless procrastination—and for years, I thought it was just a motivation issue. Turns out, it was rooted in childhood trauma. Once I understood the why, everything changed. I found a simple shift that helped me get things done, feel in control, and finally have peace of mind.
We don’t all experience the same rain— some have umbrellas, some have roofs, and some only have themselves. Life isn’t fair, and not everyone is given the same kind of shelter when the storm hits. That’s why we should be kinder, slower to judge, and quicker to help. You’ll never know how heavy someone’s rain is until you’ve stood where they are.
Maybe I lied when I said I'm alright. Maybe I couldn't really admit to myself that I am not okay all along. I may look so strong and brave from the outside, but deep inside I still feel so hurt and lonely. The truth is, I never really know how to be okay. There are times where I feel like the pain in my chest is aching terribly. Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing myself and I never really know how to start loving myself again. I just hate that I feel this way and I hate…
Modern love na daw ngayon pero iba pa rin ’yung dumadaan sa tamang proseso. Hindi minamadali. Hindi agad naghahabol ng label inuuna ang intensyon at respeto. Nagpapakilala muna sa magulang. May respeto. May paninindigan. May totoong hangarin. Walang pa-famous gestures. Pero may consistency. Walang madaliang “tayo na.” Pero may effort na ramdam. Sa panahon ng quick replies, ghosting, at instant "I love you," rare na ang lalaking marunong dumaan sa tamang proseso. Pero tandaan…
There will be no more impeachment of Sara Duterte as the Supreme Court ruled the impeachment complaint as unconstitutional. According to the court, the four complaints filed with only one transmitted to the Senate violates the one year ban on filing multiple impeachment complaints against a public official. It turns out Sara Duterte who wanted a “bloodbath” sought to question instead the impeachment on technicalities rather than face the accusations head on. This is how…
Have you heard of the Return Theory? You gave love to people who didn’t deserve it, and for a while, it felt like it was wasted. But real love never disappears. It just takes the long way home. One day it finds its way back to you— through someone who’s waited their whole life for the kind of love you give so easily. The loyalty, the softness, the way you care without holding back. It’ll all come full circle Because nothing given with a good heart ever goes unnoticed by the…
It’s really such a blessing to have a friend who supports you even when you have nothing noh? I mean, just look at Shuvee and Ashley’s friendship. Even before Shuvee’s fame, back when she was struggling to survive emotionally and financially in Manila, Ashley was already there for her. From food, clothes, shoes, even a place to stay, Ashley supported her without expecting anything in return. They’ve shared their struggles, cried together, laughed together, and celebrated…
Resilience is a response, not a solution. When we celebrate resilience too much, we forget to fix the systems that failed and forced it.
hard days make me forget all the progress i’ve made so far. when the weight in my chest becomes too heavy or when the night becomes darker than it used to, i’m clouded by the thoughts that “i probably didn't do my best that time”, or maybe i could've gone farther if only i pushed myself more. sometimes, hard days become a lot harder when i forget to give myself more credit than i deserve. but, in the gentlest way, i remind myself that — just because i still have far to go,…
Siya 'yung laging “ikaw na lang,” kahit hindi pa handa, kahit hindi pa siya buo, kahit sa totoo lang, gusto niya lang din naman ng uunawa. Siya ang tagasalo, kahit siya ang laging huling pinapansin. Siya ang taga-unawa, kahit siya ang unang sinisigawan. Siya ang bunso na parang ang ibig sabihin ay huling dapat intindihin. At kung lumuha man siya, sa likod ng pintuan, sa ilalim ng kumot, sa mga gabi na hindi siya hinahanap— wala rin namang hahanap. Dahil ang akala nila, kapag…
The best part of it is you are becoming a better version of your previous self. 🤎
