Life Lately .2


What a month! I never expected November to be this hectic. Maybe the semester break on the start of the month is meant to be there to get my body ready for all the crazy things that would happen. I have never had a more busy month in my life. Here is a list of the things I've been meddling with for the past weeks:

1.  I organized my first workshop as an intern! It was an amazing ride with only 2 weeks to prepare the kit and the whole thing. You can watch the video Banana and I made right HERE. She added the cute animation and I directed the video. The workshop was for Earl Tawny, a brush calligrapher based here in Cebu. It was fun and stressful but so worth it. I'm currently in the process of organizing another one... which just made me realize that I haven't even made a poster for it! Ohmygod I'm gonna diieeeee

2. I've been taking a lot of photos of paintings lately but not much of my life as a blogger (haha). I'm still poor (will send you an update once I'm already China rich dw haha) so I haven't had the privilege of buying a handy-dandy camera yet. I've been wanting to vlog for God knows how long and I might just do it next year. 

3 and 4 (?). Semester has just started and our teachers are already giving us plates (projects) and assignments like there is no tomorrow! Well, just some of them. If only I had a time turner... (4) SPEAKING OF TIME TURNERS I WATCHED FANTASTIC BEASTS JUST THIS WEDNESDAY AND IT WAS MAGICAL OHMYGOD

5. I'm a bit worried about work. I think I like what I'm doing but the lack of certain tasks set for the day is making me anxious. It's like I have to be available for the rest of the day to get any work done because my boss answers to my email quite sporadically but I'm managing the tasks quite well, if I may say.

So, that's that I guess. Writing all this makes me realize that I still have a lot to do before the week ends. IDK if I'm going to survive but I guess I have to. I will see you on Monday!

Feel Good List : 10 Things You Can Do For You #SelfLoveSeries

Hello and welcome back! Coming at you straight away with 10 little things you can do to give in little kicks of self-care and self-love. Some are quite personal but you can try them out and share with me your thoughts about it. This might not be for everyone but I'm still excited for the ones who can relate. Let's get started! 1 . Watch a movie alone. Like, literally alone. No social media posts, no telling a bunch of people that you're going to watch a movie alone, now whatever. It makes the experience private and special. 2.  Listen to Ted Talks. You're learning + getting inspiration. It's a win-win situation. 3 . Listen to a podcast that talks about things you genuinely care about. Currently, I'm listening to The Minimalists podcast by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. 4 . When you're travelling home from work and have the chance to see the sky as you walk to your bus stop or any terminal or anytime you have the chance to lo

Tatak C3: Blogging Workshop for Aspiring Bloggers by Cebu Content Creators

There is more to this day than just this workshop and I promise I'll tell you all about it but for now, I give you a glimpse of what it's like to attend a workshop organized by Cebu Content Creators on a Saturday afternoon.  The workshop, by the way, is called Blogging for First-Timers   and it was hash tagged as #BFFWorkshop . It was held at Handuraw, Mango last July 29, 2017 . When I found out about the workshop, truth be told, I was hesitant to register. I had a bad experience with a blogging workshop last June. It was a total scam. I won't say any detail about the last workshop I attended because I don't want them to have any kind of traffic/views/searches. Good thing I didn't let my fear of being scammed again stop me and registered for this one though. I wouldn't have known all the things that they shared and taught us. 06.2017. #TatakC3 A post shared by Cebu Content Creators (@cebucontentcreators) on May 30, 2017 at 9:20pm PDT

In A World of Mindless Monsters

It's not like I need another online outlet to blabber about my issues, right? And just like any other millennial, I too have a blog I have forgotten since I stopped having free time and "life" started to happen.  But now that life really is starting to happen, I revert back to this blank page. To this blinking dash on my screen waiting for me to write the next word that pops into my mind. I guess, that apart from my ego, this blinking dash is the only thing that is waiting for me to write again. Ah, writing. What a fun anecdote. I think of writing in the form of success. Books after book written into being a New York Times Bestseller *crowd goes wild!* or a story that goes viral because of witty writing. But right now, writing is this. An outlet for a 20-something, hardly making it millennial that doesn't have much to say except, life's a fucking bitch. Because in a world of mindless monsters, including myself, I still find the world to be so mind-boggling that ca
