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 look up the sky, pause for a moment. Look up and feel the immensity of the world and know that what makes you anxious, uncomfortable and unhappy about your current life right now won't really matter a year down the road. You deserve to think about things that makes you happy no matter how dreadful you think things are right now. You have the right to do that and you have.a.choice. Remember that.

5. If you want to wear a sleeveless top, a tube top... or anything that exposes that one part of your body that you are insecure about but it's like, too hot out and you just don't want to wear a t-shirt? Just wear it. Wear that floral halter you bought that one time (pair it with a skinny jeans!), or that cute off-shoulder breezy top you love. Just fucking wear it. Wear them for you.

6. If you want to wear a bikini, just wear a fucking bikini. So what if they stare? Put your sunglasses on, get those Instagram-worthy tan lines and flip yow hair.
7.  Have a solo dance party. Put on Britney Spears on Spotify and shake that bootehhh!!

8. Speaking of Britney Spears... remember that if she got past the whole 2007 phase, then you can get past anything.

9. From my big sister: "Face the mirror butt naked and wiggle your booty. Laugh at all the wiggles because your wiggles are cute!" (Important side note: My sister is wiggling in front of me and it's making me laugh so hard ahahhahhaha)
10. Lastly, celebrate small achievements. It could be as simple as finally being out while wearing
a booty short you hated because you have cellulites or finally being able to talk in front of the class without stuttering. It all depends on what small achievements are for you. When I do celebrate small things, I usually just write them down and buy myself a flower or two. :)

So, I hope you found an activity or two from the list! I might actually remake this post in 3 months or so. Let me know what you think about that. Thanks so much for reading and making it to the last paragraph. Share with me your Feel Good list! I want to know. See you next week!

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
