Navigating the Workspace in the New Gen: Understanding the Reality of Office Communication

A brief interpretive research In Tina Fey’s book, Bossy Pants, I laughed, but even more believed when she said “Technology doesn’t move backward. No society has ever de-industrialized.” The reality of technology has broadened ever since its introduction. Thus, it changed a lot, if not all, in our current veracity. I was born at a time when technology was starting to be employed in our daily…

HBD, Kuya Denz.

It is sad to admit that invites from you will never come again but knowing that you are in a better place now is my consolation.

It’s a riot whenever I think that I have not lost only one Luis in my life, but two. Aside from sharing the same first name, and surname that, both share the same sting. They also share the same cemetery. I, on the other hand, hold a shared pain. I often wonder what conversations would be like now that I have gained more exposure to the world. I always like to tell my side of stories and haggle…

From Roaming Services to Dedication Pages with Papa

Because after he died, I did not watch the news anymore.

I was checking roaming subscriptions while having coffee because I was informed that I need to be abroad for several days by the end of the month. It was always pointed out by you that, that’s just how I am–reading everything I can first and getting answers through some help tips on the internet even when I know calling my service provider that I need roaming services from this date to that date…

Tambiz Ideazpark 2022

I am probably a year too late for this post. Still, looking back through the years of hard work and opportunities, I can never forget the first time in many years I was back in my college Alma Mater, Far Eastern University-Manila, Institute of Accounts, Business, and Finance (IABF)–this time as a resource speaker. Albeit more than a decade into my college graduation, I was happy to serve and…

Chill Trip: Panglao, Bohol, PH 2023

Welcome to Panglao Island, Bohol—the embodiment of a tranquil escape in the heart of the Philippines.

I say chill trip because now that I’m in my 30s, I have outgrown the running-to-see-everything vibe and treat every vacation as slow-moving days to recuperate and uproot myself from the hustle and bustle of my city and career life. It was not my first time in Bohol (if my memory serves me well), but it was my first time in Panglao Island. Nestled in the heart of the Visayas region, Bohol is one…

Puerto Galera 2014

May 31 – June 1, 2014; Sabang Beach, Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines June 7 – 8, 2013; White Beach, Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines I am somehow a Puerto Galera kind of girl, even those time that it wasn’t that too mainstream yet. Exploring the beach life, getting sunkissed tan skin and salty hair are the things I love whenever I set foot on the beach. Puerto Galera, is by far, the…

Media And The Social Welfare: Access To The Juvenile Dependency Courts

Photo from: jcomp/Freepik The common point of complaint regarding the communication between public agencies serving children and the media has always been the fear, mistrust, and subsequent misinformation. On one side, you have a child welfare system burdened with the nearly impossible task of mitigating the worst effects of societal dysfunction: child abuse, neglect, and child death. On the…

Welcome to my little space!

In an attempt to save all memories (no matter how ordinary they may be), I will upload snippets of my regular days and/or experiences to my YouTube channel and, of course, share them on this blog as well–as there are things better written, just like our favorite book. This debut vlog is just short to scratch an itch of creating a vlog and gaining another skill in video editing. Hoping I can do…

COMMOOS: A Collection of Hard Thoughts and Perspectives

Birthing this project through often encounters of what’s next for me after my doctorate. Many people would just want to finish. To tell you the truth, I was once one of those people. However, there is a certain joy in finishing and all the more enjoyment in going through the process. I have read somewhere that when you are passionate about something the journey is more important than its…

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Move on and do it quick.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? Move on and do it quick. As a teenager, I usually overthink stuff, and get so attached to every feeling and emotion, most especially to the ones that pain me–without even realizing then that emotions are fleeting and challenges are always at bay no matter how much you aren’t in favor of it. Whether it is about a relationship problem, a failed…

It's a Fact: FACTS BURGER

New fave! Their Chicken Wings are the best!

Whenever I go on dates and am asked what I want to eat, I say either burger or pasta. It’s practical, it’s easy, and it gives a hint that this woman does not follow a diet. Hehehe. There are many many good burger joints and go-to pasta places wherever, but there are very few I would go back to. I’m not a burger enthusiast, I just have a certain taste I prefer — grilled, savory, mustard-y, and a…

DFA Passport Renewal | 2022 December

Passport renewal made easy!

I haven’t gotten to travel abroad since 2019 (?) I didn’t want to take my chances, too, because I have a toddler then and do not want to risk getting COVID-19 (the onset was early 2020, and the vaccine roll-out happened later). With that said, I didn’t bother to renew my passport then and which expired in 2021 (I did local travels with strict protocol. Better be safe than sorry). I took…
