What now?



Hello. How are you? It's been so long.

Writing as if I'm speaking to someone feels natural, and crazy. I know no one would probably read this but me, but I want to publish it. As if hitting that orange button with the word "Publish" on it is somehow going to change the way I'm feeling right now.

I am lost. Very, very lost.

My mind wants to be in this stable, no-fuss, high-paying career choice but my heart still is longing for the freelance stuff I talked about 2-3 years ago. Remember?

The "working as a barista during the day and creating for clients at night" typa stuff?

The longing is still here and I can't shake it off any longer.

Now, my heart hurts whenever I see an Etsy seller in her home studio. My stomach churns whenever I get a glimpse of the life of the many many self-made entrepreneurs that I watch on YouTube.

My heart is in pain because even though I try to stop myself from thinking it, my brain sputters out the words "That's the life I want."

I'm the most grateful person you'll ever meet. I can honestly say that and not cringe because of how truthful it is. I love my job, my boss, my career. And I'm not miserable, nor am I unhappy. I'm happy because I do get fulfillment whenever I get things done and work with my team.

But when things get quiet. When I try to truly listen to what my intuition is saying, it's always telling me that I should pursue what I've been wanting to pursue since the day I graduated from university. I want to start creating the business that I've been putting off creating for so fucking long.

I don't know when it's going to start.
I don't know if I still have the guts to let go of being safe.
I just know that if I don't atleast take steps towards my dream, I'd rather be dead.

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 ...

I know it's a bit late but I have here the second post f or   Bintana Coffeehouse ! I do apologize for not posting it earlier this week. I came home late due to the rain and the traffic. Cebu is slowly turning into Manila and I'm terrified. Anyhoo, enough talk about the weather and  the traffic. I'm finally sharing with you a little something about my social life! (Yes, I do have a social life. I'm not as hermit as you think hahahahha).  Scroll down for more photos!                     Say hello to Faith! She's a web developer and a cutie *tee-hee*. I love that she's game for just about anything including helping me with the site  ❤︎ .  She helped me get rid of the sidebar of  Hello Benj and I couldn't be more thankful! She saves me from the humiliation of dancing in public by joining me dance and laughing at ourselves. If you want, you can follow her Instagram. She has a "rule of three" kin...
