Goodbyes and a Whole New World

I guess you are wondering what happened to me. Well, A lot happened. Some of them I would prefer not to talk about at the moment so I would ask for your understanding. They are the reasons why I gave my blog a screeching halt for a few months. And its hard because even if I am totally passionate in what I do, there are some things and circumstances that happened that will make you forget your passion for a while. And I have to take care of my responsibilities first because they are my top priority. I do appreciate all the messages and emails I received when you guys thought I died (Please don't think that!) I was just in a phase in my life where I needed to step up for a while and assume the 'older' sibling for a while because as cold hearted people think I am - I HAVE A FREAKIN HEART! I can't just leave my mother hanging without someone holding her back. Yah. That is one of the reasons - My mother. I love her dearly and I would go above and beyond to mak...

Mindful Journal Day 15

You know when you are in the mood to work on a project then all of a sudden you just can't work because the most important thing you need just won't work? Yeah. My internet sucks. The funny part in this predicament is that I usually edit my videos before I go to bed which is around 10:30PM to 11:30PM which is when not a lot of people in my house are connected to the WiFi thus I have the bandwith to myself. Wow, I sound so selfish saying that. It just frustrates me that I should have faster internet connection during this time because if I use my mobile data my wallet will be screwed because I need to get a data plan that is way more than my budget. And I actually pay on time on my internet service which sucks more because WHY IS MY SERVICE NOT AT PAR WITH ME PAYING ON TIME?? And another thing that iffed me today is the whole youtube partnership issue. The whole jist of it is if you don't have xx amount of views per month and xx amount of subscribers you are not e...

Mindful Journal Day 14

I got a bluetooth headphones! I know this is a lame but the fact that I now have this amazing thing that will help me concentrate when I write because I like listening to music when I write. But usually I listen to ambient music to make me concentrate and it works. Today I bought some stuff because I needed to get new stuff to make me feel good. And for some reason I've learned that retail therapy is amazing when you feel miserable. I mostly bought stationary stuff because I like writing on a notebook. And maybe this is my adulting side but going through my accounting makes me so stressed out that I need to have a notebook for everything - no joke. I bought a bunch of notebooks that I find cute and new pens because its never a bad idea to get a new pen once in a while. I also bought some products to review for my youtube channel and I missed shopping for myself. I missed going through aisles of products and just be amazed. The biggest purchase I got would probably b...

Mindful Journal Day 7 to 13

I got sick. Its terrible. I thought it was just a common cold or something but it was not. I got broncho pneumonia AGAIN. YES. AGAIN. I experienced it back in 2010 when I overworked myself to the point I only get 2 hours of sleep when I was working in the BPO industry which also lead me to quitting that job because I was mentally and physically exhausted getting cursed for being incompetent by someone that lived on the other side of the world. But this time it was worse than the first one. I felt like my whole body was giving up on me that I lost a lot of energy to even move for more than five minutes at a time! I know it might be an exaggeration, but surely it was how I felt at that exact moment. The good thing about the experience is that I was able to enjoy the comforts of sleeping peacefully even though I felt my whole existence was about to end after every horrendous coughing fit. I was also able to experience amazing Korean soup from my Korean neighbor when she fo...

Mindful Journal Day 6 of 365

I feel sick. Scratch that - I AM SICK! This maybe because of the weather and stress coming to push me down. I really can't breath properly which scares me to go to sleep. I had to sleep sideways or laying on top of my stomach afraid I might die if I sleep on my back. I am getting more paranoid than ever which is frustrating. I went to the doctor's office earlier to get myself checked because what I am having doesn't want to leave me. The doctor gave me medicine and actually advised me to get admitted but I opted not to because I don't have enough funds to get myself admitted. I hate getting sick. As much as I love to sleep in my bed all day, I prefer to get up and work. So far that is what happened today. Wish me luck for a faster recovery. I really need it. xx Alice

Mindful Journal day 5 of 365

Yes. I know I am posting this a day after its supposed to. I can explain. It sounds weird but on the day of my birthday I had a mental breakdown. I was emotionally exhausted to the point that I just wanted to cry. Luckily, babe was there to calm me down because more and more my anxiety attacks become worse and worse. One of the things I am thankful was someone made an effort to make me feel my birthday was special besides from my immediate family - my TBDC family. They didn't really gave me the glitzy kind of party but just a simple dinner where we just spent hours upon hours of talking and catching up since I have been busy at the bakery last 2017. TBDC has been my second family. They loved me to the point that even if I screwed up they would just be there backing me up. Besides from my immediate family, my TBDC family showed me a whole new world ahead of me. They believed in my potential and made me a better person now. Thank you The Big Difference Communications for ...

Mindful Journal day 2 and 3 of 365

I will be combining day 2 and 3 in today's post because: 1. I totally forgot to write it and I'm sorry. This will never happen for sure. 2. There was a lot of things going in my head that I can't focus. so here goes...

Mindful Journal Day 1 of 365

Hey there! I should've wrote this sooner but you know - holidays! I went back to manning the bakery today at 7AM. It was gruesome. I am not a morning person so putting on a smile in the morning is just dreadful for a person like me. I know its weird since I am quite known to be very outgoing and jolly but to be fair not everyone can be perfect. Today was fine. There were a lot of free time for me to do things around the bakery. For one, I was able to organize all the items that we need to stock up like coffee and the drinks. I'm surprised at how meticulous I am when it comes to organizing things. I get too obsessed in making it all aligned and coordinated I am surprised. I did something stupid today though. I would like to kick myself in the face because I just sucked in keeping my mouth shut. I honestly hate my own mouth at times its annoying. Another thing that kept me busy is reading Mangas of Junji Ito. If you don't know him-GOOGLE.HIM.NOW. I am a big ass ...

To New Adventures

Image
Yes, I know it's been a while.  Yes. I was away for some long.  And now I am back!  And I miss you all!  I haven't been writing because I went into an adventure. It's not something of a soul-searching trip but somehow it became one.  And if you noticed in the picture above YES! I have mustered enough courage to pose for this!  That means something for me since I don't have a lot of confidence when it comes to my weight and my looks. To the haters ,  please spare me the spiteful comment of why I am fishing for compliments because I am definitely not doing that.  I am thinking of revamping this blog but at the moment, I am still figuring out what I have to do with my life.  I am in that crossroad again of where to go, What to do and who to go with.  I am currently in Ozamiz City for the past 2 and a half months. A lot of things happened. There are good things, bad things, and also the ugly one...
