No, I am not suicidal. I just needed to clarify and get it out there, because I do get called that a lot. To be quite honest, I do not think that that word is even in my personal vocabulary. So, all is well. As for being brave, if wanting change and wanting to see the world and wanting to be a better person is considered 'brave'. Then,…
I read a quote once that said, “Children don’t hear us. They imitate us.” Because, you see, children don’t really listen to what we tell them. Instead, they’d mimic us. They don’t care what you say, what they’ll notice is what you do. That’s the simple truth.…
Honestly, I have not been feeling my best in the past couple of weeks. My anxiety has been slowly coming back, and it has been crippling me and my work. Normally, I would just brush it off and hope for the best, but this past anxiety attack was a tad bit different. It had been the worst, to say the least.…
"Why won't you go with other people? Isn't it sad going all by yourself?" These are questions that people always, always ask me. For the longest time, my answer to this would be just to shrug and say, "I don't know." But in reality, I perfectly know why I go and explore alone. I know, and today, I'm telling you my side of the story.…
You see, when I was younger, I would always write down my dreams and goals in life in bullet points. This was a trait that I have adapted in my early adult life. I would write down my plans and goals in the years to come, then I would obsess about it. More often than not, these plans have changed. I might have lost my cool whenever these…
If there is an important thing that keeping a journal has taught me, it is this: life changes constantly, and it might suck now, but tomorrow it will be better. This journal is my current one and I got it from a local boutique in Istanbul. I have lost count on what number this journal is, but I know one thing: I will never stop documenting and writing…
So as I have said, I know that I haven't been posting a lot since I have become really busy in the past few months. I would like to welcome my new readers with a bit of a little 'getting to know me' post. Nobody asked for this (hahahahahahaha) but I will post it anyway. Here are 10 random facts about me…
A month ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing an authentic Turkish Bath in Turkey. The people over at Kilic Ali Pasa Hamami in Istanbul were nothing short of amazing and professional. This actually wasn’t my first hamam experience because I’ve already done one in Taroudant, Morocco, but this one was amazing and so much better. I’ll let you see for yourselves.…
The Philippines have always been 'home' to me...or so I thought.…
To be honest, 2018 has been rough, challenging, and oh so unexpected. I learned a lot, met a lot of amazing (and annoying) people, and dove into things I never thought of doing. Needless to say, I had a blast! I have had my heart broken and I have cried multiple times, but I would not have it any other way.…
