Hello Princess,

It's the start of the week again.

You may be dreading about a scheduled meeting with your boss on Tuesday or your evaluation will be happening on Wednesday. You may have an upcoming deadline by the end of the day or you need to increase your sales by the end of the month. I don't know exactly what you're going through but all I know is this: YOU CAN DO IT.

You can ace that meeting and impress your boss. You can meet your deadline because I know you've been working hard on it. You will have a good evaluation and your great work will be commended. Just remember, whatever life throws at you I know you can handle it. ❤

Breathe and let your magic work. ❤

Happy Easter everyone, as promised I'm really trying my best to revive my blog. This is a great therapy for me as well because instead of negative stuff, my mind is focused on words. Blogging uplifts my soul so much. 👯

Anyway, I'm looking through my old blog posts earlier and I told myself why not start a series all over again. Among everything I've tried in the past, The Sunday Currently is kind of my favorite. I reset the series since I am too lazy to reupload the previous ones. ❤❤❤

So here it goes:

❤READING❤

I'm still reading Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow, it is a good book that I can relate myself to but there are just too many distractions. I feel like I can finish it in one sitting without the random shenanigans.

❤WRITING❤

I am drafting new blog entries. That is how much I wanted to make a comeback in the blogosphere. Also, I'm writing random stories to de-stress myself. 

❤LISTENING❤

I'm listening to my dogs bark. Kidding. Right now, I saw this new Jesse McCartney song Better With You and it keeps on playing in my head. Which reminds me, I have to download it right now. Hello, it's Jesse freakin McCartney. My 16 year old self is so kilig right now.

❤WATCHING❤

If I am to be honest, right now I am watching Sunday Pinasaya. To my readers outside PH, it is a Sunday Comedy Variety show and anything that makes me laugh is my favorite. hahahaha

❤THINKING❤

Thinking of what to wear for work tomorrow and whether I should go to the dentist before of after work.

❤SMELLING❤

Nothing at the moment

❤WISHING❤

I could make it!!!! I'll update once everything's completed. Please pray for me.

❤HOPING❤

I get the best one. Not for me, but for the people I love.

❤WEARING❤

My favorite pambahay. An oversized striped blue shirt and my PINK shorts.

❤LOVING❤

The random explore videos on Youtube. Try it!!!

❤WANTING❤

To go out of town!!!

❤NEEDING❤

To take a bath, and while I a typing this -- I need to cook afternoon snacks for me and my grandma.

❤FEELING❤

Anxious -- this is my default feeling these days. 

❤CLICKING❤

I am blog hopping since the start of my break. 

See you all next Sunday for another The Sunday Currently update.

Memento Vivere

Love while you've got love to give

Live while you've got a life to live

I can't remember much of it, really. I have this habit of placing all unpleasant events in my subconscious before it eats me whole. Though I have to admit that I've been in a really difficult situation towards the end of 2017 and of course, in the early months of 2018. 😭 I will not share most parts cause ain't worth it 😒. I took a break from the internet. I took a break from everything that breaks my already broken self 😶 lol. I must say that it paid off. I realized that Social Media plays an ugly game. People will only believe what they've read, they will never ask for your side. 😭

The time I was away, I relieved my love for paperbacks. ❤ I loved Taylor Swift even more.❤ Most importantly, I recognized the best people in my life. It's not about the number of humans that you interact with daily, what matters is that despite having only a few people in your circle you never feel alone. Another thing is, I chopped of my hair and I have never been this confident in a while. ❤
 

Life doesn't get better in an instant. Bills, problems, issues - they are all coming my way and at times it really gets exhausting. If you are in the same place as I am right now, just keep going. Several times I admit that I want all the hurt to go away already. I thought there's a much better place for me. But then I looked around, I saw my dogs wagging their tails everytime I get home, I saw my mom patiently preparing my meals for the day, my dad who checks up on me from time to time - that's when I realized that life isn't so bad after all. Just believe in yourself and have faith.

As promised, here is the second part of our El Nido tour last November 18-20, 2016. I'm sharing a visual diary of Nacpan and Calitang Twin Beaches. So first, let me tell you a story on how we've decided to have a quick trip to see this beauty. This isn't part of the actual tour package that we booked. It's just that we have plenty of free time during our first day to we've decided to go on a side trip. Upon doing some research, this is also a must visit in El Nido.

A van transfer is included on our tour package, so from Puerto Princesa airport that's still around 6-8 hours travel time to El Nido. From the terminal, we still have to ride a tricycle to our hotel, that costs us around 50 pesos. The tricycle driver offered some tours for us since we only booked the cheapest package and we only had Tour A, since madami kaming time, we agreed to visit Nacpan + Calitang Twin Beaches. It costs around 1,500 pesos, makipagtawaran nalang kayo :) 

 

We just spent an hour touring the island but it was one peaceful island during our time of visit. It was less crowded here so I really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend that you visit this island if you're in El Nido.

I know this post has been overdue. I still have lots of photos to share. Hehe. I'm still learning and practicing my editing skills using my computer. I don't want to rely so much on my smartphone anymore.

Feel free to comment about your thoughts. I would really love to hear from you all.

XOXO,
Ria

My trusty Iphone 5 is already overdue for an update. I knoooooow right? But who cares, it's still working despite the battery issues, may powerbank naman eh! Right? But then, the battery drains easily even without using the phone and for a person who has an 8am to 5pm work daily and the chances of being assigned for events outside the office is really high --- I needed a phone who can last a day. That's when I've finally --- FINALLY decided (HAHAHA) to upgrade my phone.
