An Open Letter to the Girl with Anxiety

Hi Fighter,
How’s it going? Things getting rough?
Probably, you started the day just like everyone else. You, enjoying a nice cup of coffee (or tea for me), some pastries or a smoothie bowl filled with your favourite oats and maybe a couple of side fruits. You opened Spotify to play your “pick-me-up” play list. You were dancing and laughing vibing every beat and suddenly, a wave of anxiety hits you. Right on the face.
Oh.
In a matter of seconds, things went black. You wanted to drop everything and just curl up.
You tried scrolling through your phone...

I had a great time last night. I went to a friend’s birthday party and I demolished my goody goody plan of just getting a glass of wine because yes, I ended up drinking a gallon. It was good though. I danced and mingled with everybody like it’s my own party (it’ll be my birthday...

I have been on hiatus lately – trying to make sense of adulting plus yes, my health has been a big chunk of burden too. Imagine bringing myself to the ER twice in a span of 1 week. Ang hassle! But yeah, life has been relatively unpredictable – both in a good and rough way....

My life has been an open book ever since I started blogging. Sometimes I even get the tag na oversharing na ako just because I tend to share a lot on social media. Haha! And although I hate to admit it, totoo naman. Aside from posting about my daily shenanigans like work, workout and all the...
Of Happiness and Depression: What Living Solo Taught Me

I always like to think that I am independent. Strong, self-reliant ladyboss eme eme (yeah, I know you’ve heard that from me a couple of times so pardon my millennial-initiated self-entitled statement, lol). But really, for someone who has to finance the household at 19, I certainly have no choice but to (always) up my...

Dear girls, I know I’ve been writing a couple of stuff about not settling, about waiting for love blah blah blah. Sadly though, your smarty-pants wander girl is not so smart after all, especially when it comes to any form of love romantic affiliation – booyaaaa! So forgive me if I keep on disappointing you...

So here comes another personal post from your not-so-expert love guru. Haha. Well I thought this might be something that will interest a lot of people, especially in this day and age where everyone is just online, and uhm, single? Haha. *Ako lang pala*.
Anyway, if you haven’t heard of Tinder, then congratulations: You are probably...

“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” ~Henry David Thoreau
To be honest, I don’t know if this is something I’d like to disclose. I’ve written several personal blogs before and while I thought those entries are already very dramatic with some hinges of over sharing, this final-2017-parting blog is somehow my...
You Deserve Someone Who Chooses You Every Single Day

It’s not easy. In a world where most people just choose to be complacent and “normal”, settling with whatever that is on their plate is the easiest, most convenient option.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in my course of 27 years, it’s that life is a huge shit. It’s a complex process of learning, loving, losing...
Dear 20-Something Woman, Don’t Settle For Anything That Isn’t Love

Our lives are meant to be lived, not rushed. So please, don’t settle.
Not in a toxic friendship, not in a place where you don’t feel home, not in a kind of work where you can’t see growth, not in a belief where you can’t feel traces of yourself and most importantly, not in a relationship...
