Get Well Soon Doc Willie
I recently watched Doc Willie Ong’s latest vlog and felt a mix of emotions. I was saddened to learn that he is undergoing cancer treatment. It’s disheartening to see such a good person facing such a challenging ordeal. It makes me question why good people like him have to endure the dreaded Big C. At […]
Red Flag Green Flag
Lately, I’ve noticed that people often describe individuals as either “red flags” or “green flags.” While the symbolism of these terms is generally understood, I find it intriguing how frequently they’re applied. For example, relationship-focused Facebook pages commonly use “red flag” to describe unfaithful partners, while the term “green flag” is used to highlight positive […]
Beyond the Finish Line
The buzz around the Paris Olympics might be starting to quiet down, but the incredible feats of our Filipino athletes are far from forgotten. It was a golden moment for the Philippines as Carlos Yulo soared to victory in gymnastics, bringing home not one, but two gold medals! And let’s not forget the bronze medals […]
Rediscovering the Joy of Reading and Writing
Recently, I stumbled upon the book “Atomic Habits” after seeing it advertised on Facebook as a must-read for CEOs. Intrigued, I remembered an app on my phone called Play Book, which I had previously overlooked. Little did I know, it’s a treasure trove of ebooks, both paid and free. Opting not to splurge on buying […]
Weekly Catch-ups
I started my week with a unique twist. My boss forgot to send the meeting invite for our weekly catch-up. Typically, our Sunday meetings are scheduled for an hour, though they often exceed this timeframe. It’s worth mentioning that we operate on a hybrid model, allowing us the flexibility to work from home on Sundays […]
When Facebook and Instagram Logged Us Out

Amidst the usual hustle, I found myself dealing with an unusual occurrence that disrupted the routine we’ve grown so accustomed to – the […]
Travel, Collect, Repeat: The Starbucks Mug Collection Chronicles
Are you into collecting Starbucks mugs like I am? Ever since I started traveling internationally, I’ve kinda fallen in love with grabbing Starbucks mugs from different places. I guess I hopped on the bandwagon of that whole mug collection craze back then. They’re like little keepsakes from all the cool spots I’ve been to. My […]
One of the memorable snapshots I captured during our visit to Walt Disney World in Orlando is the photo of Mickey while holding the hand of Walt Disney. Most of the people took the front shot of the statue so I decided to take the shot behind. The result – a worthy snapshot for my […]
Momentum
It’s another long weekend again in the Philippines. It is also a rainy one. Long weekends and numerous holidays are the things I miss in Pinas. Holidays are very limited to where I am working now. Although we have long holidays during Eid and shorten working hours during Ramadan, still nothing beats the feeling of looking forward […]
