I Did Not Succeed As a Nurse. So What? Part 2

When people ask me about my current job, I tell them one thing. When asked about what my college course was, I tell them another. And then everybody would give me a second look in awe or most likely in utter disbelief and blurts out, " As in?! Ang layo!"  Kung sa Bisaya pa, &quo…

Top Ten Summer Favorites

This summer has been the summerest  so far. The sweltering heat and my tan lines just said it all. But more than that, I was able to do a lot of things and see a lot of beautiful places. Picture this... On the first day of April, I went beach bumming at  Island Garden Resort in Pangubat…

Challenges of a Public Speaker

I change my mind. I do not dream of becoming a sports and outdoor TV host anymore. This is the third time in a row that I am invited to speak in public. And I wouldn't say I'm good at it. I just watched my last public speaking stint and boy, was I so fidgety. I can hear my voi…

She Bangs

I once trimmed my bangs back when YouTube tutorials did not exist yet. I wanted to sport the same bangs like the celebrity most kids looked up to - she's no other than the legendary mother of all jologs:

What's Up, Doc?

I already told myself a million times that I'll never ever take any advice from Google whenever I feel something unusual in my body. It's a terrible idea. But if you knew me very well, then you'd know what I would do. And I did what I shouldn't have. I have a pancreafuck…

Hiking Taraw Cliff

To That Girl in the Mirror

I used to be confident with my body. Back in college, I can wear whatever the hell I want. But of course, that doesn't mean I would go around in skimpy clothes. My wardrobe is still limited to jeans, shirt, and sneakers. But I can also pull off a bikini because, well, I had the bo…

Oh, El Nido!

I wonder how many pieces of my heart have I got left because I keep on leaving them everywhere I go. This time, I left my heart in El Nido . El Nido wasn't really part of our travel plans this year. Yes, we've always wanted to go to El Nido but not anytime soon. I guess, lu…

Tres

Almost all of our trips were unplanned. But the latest one is the most spontaneous of all. Two days before the long weekend, Jan and I were still unable to decide whether to celebrate our 3rd anniversary in  Asik-asik Falls in North Cotabato or Cape de San Agustin in Governor Generoso…
