  • Because I Care

    After a couple of days following the presidential elections in the Philippines on Facebook,  I’ve had enough. I will not say anything about which of the candidates I think should have won, because it’s the majority of the votes count in the end and don’t forget democracy. Politics is a dirty game and we all…

  • What Baby?

    Why is the women’s choice to have babies limited by time and age? Why is it acceptable for men to have babies later? I know! Unfair right? I’m in my 30’s and I admit that I’m not yet ready to have babies. Don’t take me wrong, I  love kids but the thought of having one…

  • My First Hike

    My First Hike

    Hiking is fun because it kind of gives you that feeling of freedom and at the same time it gives you excitement. Also, wherever or whatever mountain/hill top you have been to is always an achievement. It does not matter if you have been hiking for 6 hours or 2 hours. As long as you…

  • Brokenhearted

    Around two weeks ago I was at an interview at a bank. The position was customer service employee. I applied for the position because first I wanted that job so badly, second it is related to economic degree and last the job would serve as a stepping stone in the economic sector. I do not…

  • Bright and Cold

    The snow is back after two weeks of storm and mild weather. I am also grateful that it is getting brighter again. My mood is starting to get better and I am motivated to try something new when it comes to jobs. The economic crisis is not yet over. Yesterday, one of the biggest banks…

  • Shut Up! I love them!

    Shut Up! I love them!

    He said, “Sorry I only got you these plants on your special day. They don’t have roses at the store.”.  

  • New Home

    It is official. I have finally moved to Bergen! New home. New city. New opportunities. However it does not mean that I am saying goodbye to Stavanger for good. My family and friends live there and there are some places that I have never been to but would love to see/visit. The place that I…

  • Happy New Year

    Hello and Happy Twenty Sixteen to all! I am glad that I have survived the obstacles of 2015 and I am also grateful for all the lessons that 2015 has taught me. I am looking forward to the new lessons, challenges and opportunities this brand new year has for me. It is not going to…

  • Nature Photography Cured Me

    Being out in the nature makes me feel free and contented. It makes me forget all the unnecessary things that I crave and it motivates me to be a better person. Before, I used to be dependent on people around me when it comes to hiking (traveling), because I was afraid to get lost and…

  • Appreciate Serenity

    Two days ago, I got a task from mom. It is to take a walk along the shore or the quay to feed the swans. She said she saw five swans from our terrace. My mom loves birds, so she feed those out in the wild/nature (in nearby areas) whenever she has the time. She…

  • Moving On

    Beginnings is something that we always look forward to. There is the butterflies in the tummy feeling, anticipation to be precise. The chest might tighten and stomach might take a 360 degrees turn. Because of that, our brain becomes somehow useless. We always see the sunshine in everything and we forget that it is just…

  • The biggest obstacle of them all: Procrastination

    If there’s one thing I should never do again, it is delaying to change the bedsheets. Last night my skin got rashes and it was itchy. I tried not to scratch because I don’t want to make it worse but I couldn’t help it. I scratched my skin and thought that after that I could just sleep.…
