Queer life partners in the city will soon be able to legally decide for each other with regards to healthcare matters. I remember one of my closest friend and his partner were in an accident - his partner had to get a procedure done but since he is does not have the power to be able to help him make decisions, we had to call his parents that were in California at that time. It was so hard but thankfully we were able to do it. Thankfully the Quezon City Government has launched the Right to Care Card that will empower resident queer couples to make medical decisions for their partners.  The Right to Care card will be made operational through a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) and will recognize the decision of the card holders to agree, refuse, or withdraw consent of any type of medical care for their partners including treatment, procedures, tests, and prescriptions.  As a vocal ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and equality champion, Mayor Joy Belmonte expresses the importance of ...

The CIIT College of Arts and Technology recently launched two new next-level courses for the coming school year claimed by its top  official  as tailor-made for the next generation of business innovators and technology entrepreneurs.  Being in the Digital age, everyone is wired in some way to be a creator. And in CIIT College of Arts and Technology's programs clearly resonate these that will equip future movers and shakers in any industry they chose.  I was able to check out one of their campuses and got a wonderful tour of their Interweave Tower in Kamuning Quezon City from the school President himself - Sherwin O along with selected members of the media last March 9, 2023.  With its latest programs - Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship and Senior High School- Accounting, Business, and Managerment (ABM) Strand can definitely provide substantial knowledge and skills to the future leaders.  O said the new courses complete the next-level educational ...

 I have re-started writing again - in the middle of the holidays! I cannot tell you all the things that I have in store for y'all!  First and foremost I would like to personally thank everyone who has been very supportive of my passions since day 1. I will not mention your names here but from the bottom of my heart I am truly thankful for all the support.  What you can expect this 2023 is I'll be more active writing. I promised myself that even if my make shift work chair is giving me the worst pain to my hips I will write one article a day for 2023.  I have yet to digress, but don't we all hate the madness of the holidays? I am the kind of person that I do love being able to give joy in the form of gift but Oh my Lord have mercy on me I cannot stand the lines when I am at the department store just to buy a couple of shirts and a gift for my secret santa.  I thought I was having an anxiety attack just going through a crowd of people at the mall!  The long l...

 Because of this whole pandemic it got me thinking again of what matters the most to me. I was not getting any younger and pursuing blogging full time and attending events just to earn some brownie points wasn't really cutting it in for me.  Believe me I loved that side of being a content creator but there is also a side I wasn't really fond of - the back breaking tasks of editing, conceptualizing, posting deliverables and waiting to get paid. The amount of effort I put out doesn't really pay the bills if I can be completely honest.  I remember one of my lowest point was being offered to ghost write another blog and I would potentially get paid by the amount of views or comments like what the actual crap was that?! I had to decline that offer because I don't really like to put a price on the articles I put out.  I love how some of you would be so happy and inspired after reading a post and message me about your insights about it. Believe me I respond so fast in those...

I remember when I first joined Let's Cook Pare which relived my passion in cooking even with limited resources.   LCP, a non-government organization that started in Facebook became relevant to the cooking communityas quarantine cooking became one of every Filipinos anxiety outlet. During late evenings I would scroll endlessly to check out pictures and recipes from other members which shows true ingenuity of Filipinos.

 There would be times where I just don't know if I am doing the right things in my life because sometimes the outlook is just not looking great.  I had this thought a couple of months back when I was going to be endorsed on production to take calls in my current company where I was like 'Is this really the right decision for me?' 'Are we sure about this?' those questions kept going over and over in my head as the days go on and as I take more calls.  And I think I made a right decision. Its been about 6 months since that time and I have never felt more secured with what I decided.  Another factor that made me go and pursue this path is because I am not getting any younger. I admit, I chased a dream wherein I am not really sure if I am destined for it. I haven't given up on blogging and content creation but I can honestly say that its more than views and clicks for me now. It has become a way for me to express myself and help people come out of their shell too. S...

 When Covid-19 first hit I thought it was just going to be like a couple of months that we'll be locked into our homes and try to stay away from getting infected - and here we are at the 2nd Christmas with a new variant slowly emerging from other countries, and we are starting to rebuild our lives again- insert *dun dun DUUUUUUN* sound effects.  And to be very honest, I randomly ask myself these questions: How do I maintain my sanity in this world? Do I need another mini breakdown for the day to survive? How do I live 'normally' in a time where people wear face mask, hose ourselves down with alcohol and a stressful work environment but now we moved it in the four walls of our home office?  And luckily I was able to find a book that was able to keep my sanity in check and know more ways to be able not to lose my marbles if ever a new lockdown might loom in my path.  Secrets to Keeping your sanity in a Crazy World is written by Corazon Walata-Austria. A Human Resources...
