The last time I ran in a marathon was really life-changing. I had to finish the race without cheating because it’s my goal to finish that 21k run, year 2024. I felt the shame of the possibility of not being approved of my request to take that leave but it was granted anyway and itContinue reading “Let Shame & Pain Rewards you with Success”

Truth Never Lies, No Matter How Hard You Deny
I’m a fan of honest people now. It’s hard to be honest specially if that truth holds a huge power for others to hurt you. Emotional triggers were the worst so far but everytime I face the SHAME and everytime I’m done with it, I rise and congratulate myself for finally letting it go. It’sContinue reading “Truth Never Lies, No Matter How Hard You Deny”
It’s okay to say “NO”
Once in a year, there’s always going to be someone who will remind me of the wrong choices I made in the past; choices like, I should have said, “No” instead of saying “Yes.” Girls have this amazing instinct about the outcome of a specific friendship or relationship. Before we even started talking, I alreadyContinue reading “It’s okay to say “NO””
If only I knew what I know today
If given the chance to go back in time where ego is not an option, I will accept defeat and move on. “It’s not for me, so why force it?” I have lived my life proving myself I’m good enough. I thought I wasn’t because I was being rejected, but it wasn’t true. I wasContinue reading “If only I knew what I know today”
Pain doesn’t kill, resistance does!
When I was a CG trainee, we had to go through that pain. Injected in our deltoid, arms, with mineral water; it was the most painful physical experience in my life that I almost fainted. Let me repeat, “Almost fainted” in pain, but I did not die, nor going to. I faced the pain andContinue reading “Pain doesn’t kill, resistance does!”
It’s okay to be sad; pain is temporary
Lately, I have been reading a book about anxiety; it talks about losses and grieving and I feel like writing about my own losses and the beginning of my great anxiety. Writing it down is believed to alleviate anxieties. My anxieties started that time my mother brought my dying uncle home. I was so scaredContinue reading “It’s okay to be sad; pain is temporary”
You’re not alone @ Mt. Manunggal In Cebu
I had a change of destination; I was gonna spend my Feb. 2024 Vacation leave to Camp Adela; things happened, people were unsure, time was inappropriate; I went back to Mt. Manunggal instead where I spent two nights and two days. It was fogging and it was so cold; I had myself with me andContinue reading “You’re not alone @ Mt. Manunggal In Cebu”
What keeps me going? The FUN of doing little things
“The time has come when I finally have to decide whether to continue the Marathon or to stop.” I was very tempted to just get in a bus and rest, but I wasn’t there to give up. I was there to face my weaknesses; shame of being seen in pain and barefoot, fear of beingContinue reading “What keeps me going? The FUN of doing little things”
I have grown, I know I am. I learned to accept my mistakes, learned from it and I became better and better every time I’m corrected! I am lucky and so blessed, supported and cared! I realized that “the thing” I’m running away from is going to bring me to my destination. So, if youContinue reading
What will happen if you care too much? Exactly! You’ll be mistaken!
Caring is fine, but not too much! Too much of everything will make you a bad person. Only give what was asked; not too much! This is a lesson I learned from my caregiving assessment. Only do, what was ask of you. The thing is that, if you’re going to give too much medicine, itContinue reading “What will happen if you care too much? Exactly! You’ll be mistaken!”
