Adapting to Post-Pandemic Life

Published by Kima Rodriguez

I never imagined that a pandemic could transform our lives so drastically. It happened in the blink of an eye. But none of us did. So much has changed. This shift has taken us away from a sense of normalcy. Now, wearing masks is part of our daily routine. Simple pleasures like going out or traveling now feel distant, all because we’re battling an invisible enemy: the Coronavirus.Through these events, we’ve faced countless challenges and obstacles that have taught us valuable life lessons. One of the most profound realizations for me is that we don’t truly own our lives. When our time comes, we can’t change it. It’s a humbling reminder to cherish each moment. We should live meaningfully. The most important thing now is to keep moving forward, no matter what happens. Many people are struggling with depression and anxiety, but losing hope can only drag us down further. We must adapt to this new reality, not just to survive, but to continue living with purpose. Changing our lifestyle is undeniably challenging, but it’s …

5 New Habits To Improve your Lifestyle

Published by Kima Rodriguez

For the past years, I have never felt like being so productive in a day. I accomplished things that I needed to, but I wasn’t that organized to manage everything. I remember I loved buying planners and colorful checklists, but I never used them correctly. I am fond of collecting cute stuff such as sticky notes, washi tapes, colorful pens, dotted notebooks, and a lot more, but I didn’t use them correctly because I tend to keep them in a box with their respective packaging. But now I realize why I am not using this stuff on a day-to-day basis. (Sayang naman sisszt) Since I love watching about personal growth, lifestyle, productivity, successful tips, mental health, and career paths on YouTube, I learned that being well-organized on your everyday schedule is essential. It helps you in so many ways, not just by accomplishing your tasks but also by helping you grow and be motivated. I will share with you the five new habits that are slowly helping me improve my lifestyle and mindset. Wake Up …

New Month, New Beginnings

Published by Kima Rodriguez

I’ve been watching a series of motivational and inspirational videos from successful people on YouTube. Their advice matters to me because I am setting up a new system for myself. I’m listing everything that I need to do and follow. I am so blessed to have a cousin with whom I can have a conversation about life, personal growth, career, and becoming successful. I also decided to convert my thoughts and stories into minimalist art. I’m not that good, but I think I will still develop in the process. Sharing my thoughts is one of my favorite things because I know some people are experiencing failures as well, and I want to share my experiences on how I am facing every challenge in my life. Recently, I am slowly changing my habits. One of these changes is about waking up at 4 a.m. I know this is the most challenging for me because I love sleeping, but I believe that I can do it because I want to improve my habits and be more productive …

Dear Self,

Published by Kima Rodriguez

After so many years, I couldn’t thank myself for every challenge and struggle I have faced and encountered, for every achievement that I have made, And for every opportunity that I was able to get. I don’t usually post like this because I am shy and scared of what other people might say, but I should start setting aside other people’s opinions and doing the things I am passionate about. Dear Self, Thank you for reaching this far. Life is unpredictable, and I want to thank myself for becoming the best version of every day. I know life is tough, but I’m still here and doing my best to achieve my dreams in any way I can without giving up. Deat Self, Every day is A New Hope I am lost because I don’t know the exact path of my life, but I will not give up quickly because I know a bright future is waiting for me. But patience, hard work, good habits, and a good mindset are necessary! Dear Self, Stay Positive all …

5 Signs that You’re Not Okay

Published by Kima Rodriguez

Depression and anxiety are ubiquitous nowadays due to a lack of self-exposure, lack of people you can talk to, lack of new places and things you can see or go to, lack of knowledge and experiences, lack of contentment, and self-control. And because of that, sometimes we’re experiencing like we don’t know right or wrong. We always started new opportunities but ended up giving up.

Why Am I Blogging?

Published by Kima Rodriguez

In your circle of friends, not everyone wants to start a blog. Not everyone loves journaling, but there will always be a 1% chance to have a friend who is fond of journaling or blogging. A journal is your personal space to reflect, share, and write down everything going on in your mind and your life. You write here your day-to-day stories, goals, to-do lists, reminders, ideas, and more. Sometimes, introverted person prefers writing everything in their journal instead of telling it to their friends. Because in the journal, the trust is there that whatever you write, whatever your ideas, whatever your problems, will only remain in your journal. A blog is a modern journal. It is an online journal/diary where you can also express your thoughts, feelings, ideas, information, and more that you want to share with others. However, blogging is commonly a visible publication to gain views/visitors and earn money. To write privately, you can limit your viewers’ settings to invited people only. Blogging and journaling help me in every way possible. Whenever …

There are days that we are craving something delicious but not that heavy in our tummy. I’ve been craving shawarma since last week. When I was scrolling through my FoodPanda Mobile Application, I stumbled upon a selling shawarma restaurant named the Tokyo Skytea and clicked it right away. While checking their menu, I saw this “Taco & Shawarma Chicken.” Since I am craving shawarma and I love eating Tacos, I gave it a try.

My Asian Face: July Selfie

Published by Kima Rodriguez

Before this month ends, I want to have a self-appreciation. I recently used my Instagram filters. It looks so vintage and aesthetic to me, but since it enhances the bright pink color side of a picture, you’ll notice the small pimple on my chin. I’ve been experiencing lately the “mask-ne” or the acne caused by wearing a mask. But it’s not a big deal tho. I have skincare products that would help me get rid of these zits. I am a naturally born pure Filipino. I do have a very Asian face. Small eyes, fuller lips, a small nose, and dark brown eyes (not visible, it looks more on the black side). Taking selfies is my favorite way of appreciating myself. I’m Kima, and I am proud to be a Filipino, I am proud to be an Asian.
