My Youtube channel intro

I have a Youtube channel now.

MY NEW HIDE-OUT

Lipat-bahay- pinakahirap na part ay pagtransfer ng mga gamit. 'Yung hindi ka pa nga nakatapos mag-ayos ng mga gamit, lilipat ka na ulit. Dahil yung dati na tirahan binili on the spot. Madali lang sabihin no? But I always think there's a positive reason slash outcome. Oo nga, nakahanap ako ng malipatan. Mas okay ang atmosphere, mas malapit sa work.. walking distance lang. At ang pinakaexciting part is the room makeover.

ROOM MAKEOVER

It's been a month since I last posted an update here. I was kinda busy at work and at the same time I was busy looking for a new place or a new room to occupy in particular. Yes, I will be living solo. For like 28 years living with my sister, I finally decided to live independently for so many reasons to mention. Because of lack of funds and tight of budget, I was looking for an affordable room for rent yet comfortable and at ease.

So here's the makeover (refer to before and after photos.

MARARISON ISLAND

I was one of the early risers that morning in an island. I always love to catch the sunrise and watch the sunset when I am on a travel vacation. Unlucky I was that morning because the sun appeared late. I just realized the highest mountain in Antique, the Mt. Madias blocked the morning sunshine. There was a nice view to watch though. The black doves in the seashore caught my attention. It's true, early doves catch the insects.

I missed Mararison island.

ODEL- The dog traveler

Hi! It's too late to greet you a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I'm so sure you guys are doing great and already had your first trip or first travel in 2018. By the way, this is ODEL, a portable stuff toy dog and he will be my travel buddy. Samahan nyo kami sa aming adventures this 2018- the year of the dog.

The unplanned day-tour turned overnight adventure

Beach walking, taking photos of lil things, watching the sunrise and sunset, nature-tripping and taking selfies (yes, a lot of selfies para makuha ang right angle!) are my favorite travel moments. In addition, I took time to sit and let my feet to rest. The falling-dead-but-colorful leaves on the ground caught my eyes. Napaisip ako... hugot?! I then noticed how the tree do not cling to its leaves. The falling of leaves is about releasing the old to make way for the new. Fall out of love is about releasing someone and let go to make way for the new better one and fall in love again.ihihihi And like a tree, life fails to be perfect but never fails to be beautiful.

SAVE OR SPEND?

It's nearly two months and a half since I posted on facebook about the 100 pesos I saved. It was June 28 to be exact. In order to save 100 pesos a day intended for taxi fare every morning (shhh, I was always late), I tried to go to work early or report to work on time. That's self motivation. The 100 peso saving a day is actually for a trip. The total days is 62 from June 28 until yesterday, September 11. Now the question is: to go or not to go? Will I spend or will I save?

HAPPY VALENTINE!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Life is short, eat dessert first. 
Happy Sunday

It's perfectly okay if the only exercise you get today is looking something online, stirring your juice and smiling. Well-being means your whole body. Make sure your soul is getting as much exercise as you can.

HELLO 2017

HELLO 2017!

I am kinda excited to celebrate your 365 days. I am looking forward to spend overnights on the beach, in the mountain or somewhere else. I am already prepared for that. Anyway, I would like to thank Dyan Sapaden for the Life Dreams Success Planner by Bo Sanchez. I so love the inspiring quotes. I love more of the paintings all over the pages of the book by his son Francis John. In addition, the 2 in 1 lantern and flashlight was given by Ng Bebe Madurar. It's a perfect match for overnight camping. Thanks to both of you!

Lastly, I wanna share the inspiring quote from the book.

"When you pray with profound peace, when you laugh until your belly hurts, when you take deep breaths, when you enjoy the sunset, when you get a hug, when you're engrossed in a project that blesses the world, your body manufactures all-natural chemicals that heal your body."

Happy New Year everybody!

GOODBYE 2016

Here I close my book of life 2016. I will continue another book for 2017. Let's hope for the better year of 2017.

Goodbye 2016

TIDYING A WALLET

The life-changing magic of tidying up book by Marie Kondo gave me this kind of neat idea.

1. Wallet is one of our daily must have things. Tingnan mo nga baka nga-nga na siya. There are two different meanings of nga-nga in figure of speech. Nga-nga dahil walang laman or nga-nga as in it looks like it is about to burst na.

2. We need to empty our wallet from time to time. As in tanan2x iwas-ag bala.joke!

3. Separate them in 3 categories

A. Cards

B. Bank notes/paper money/bills

C. Receipts

4. Separate the receipts to throw away to receipts to keep. In my personal case, I found some expired raffle coupons. Ha-ha. At yung tel. Number na naisulat sa maliit na papel at kailangan na i-save sa phonebook.

5. Separate the cards 

A. Prepaid cards

B. Discount cards

C. Savings and credit cards

Personal experience- one time sa grocery counter binigay ko and bench card instead of robinsons card dahil pareho sila na color red.

6. I separate the discount cards- cards frequently use and card rarely use for OAness. You can skip this one.

7. Arrange the bank notes in denomination from smaller bill (front row) to big money bill (behind). Minsan kasi ang tip mo 1k yun pala nagkamali ka 1h php lang dapat. Or kapag nasa counter mas mabilis ang pagbayad.

8. Wallet usually have two compartments for paper money and for large cards and other important receipts. Tada, it looks neat na!
