I’m choosing myself

I am having a hard time coping with other people recently. I was embarrassed and disappointed by the people whom I truly trusted. Shit, happens, right? But why I’m experiencing these things? Sometimes I want to be alone and shut people out. I’ve been engaging myself in the online world for the past months. Playing different types of games, chit chatting with other people around the world. Seriously, I love meeting new people. I’m somewhat excited about exchanging stories and experiences in life because, for me, it is one of the best ways to know the person better. But what if you meet someone who would destroy the inner peace in you? What will you do? In my case, I can’t completely cut ties with them; however, if it’s the right thing to do for myself, then I have no choice. Most of the time, I choose to help them; I prefer to guide them and adjust to being more comfortable with me, but now I’ve decided to pick myself over anyone. Self-love is what …

Skin is Love

Kailangan ko pa rin i manage ang skincare ko. And so far, hindi pa naman lumalabas ang mga pimples ko dahil sa matinding stressed na nararanasan ko.  Pero nag kaka wrinkles ako sa noo kasi lagi aq umiiyak at nakasimangot. That’s life. Feeling makinis lang ako pero na iinis lang aq pag may tumutubo na pimples or kung ano sa balat ko. Syempre nakakatakot baka nahahawa aq ng skin disease or may skin disease ako. Mahal na mahal ko pa naman kutis ko. ~.~ Human heart Nature ang products na ginagamit ko. Facial wash, toner , scrub and moisturizer. Nainom rin ako ng Vitamin C para healthy pa rin sa kabila ng mabagyong buhay. Ayoko may makakapansin na may pinagdadaanan ako. Lalo ng ng family ko. As much as possible pinapakita kong strong independent woman ako sa harap nila. Ayoko silang makitang malungkot g dahil sa akin at sa failures ko. Basta kaya ko to. P.S. Kakatapos lang ng swimming namin with family and relatives. Sobrang saya lang mag relax ngayon at kumain ng masasarap …

Moving on

I know that moving on is not an easy task to do. It is very difficult and it will take some time but for my sake, for myself, and for my life, I will do it. I will not force myself right away because TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS. I have to face everything to continue living as a normal human being. Yes, it is hard but I know I can do it.  I just need to be positive in all the ways I can to start a new beginning. I may not be able to change the past but I believe that I can change the ending of my story. I need to do this for myself. I need to love myself more and my family. I need a new mindset. I need myself. I need self-love.

These are my favorite people. Sobrang saya ko lang na binigay sila sa akin ni God. I’m so blessed. Kita naman sa mga muka kung gaano kami ka saya pag mag kakasama. These people are my family forever. Whatever happens, magkakahawak pa rin kami. Mahal na mahal ko sila kahit minsan ang sarap nila batukan haha. =)) These are my family and I will include some photos of our party.   P.S. I can’t see the Lapaz-Costales Fam. Photo. Huhu. Ang pinakagustioko sa family ko na to, kahit ano pinaggagawa namin, masaya parin at walang arte at laging nagtutulungan. So may kanya-kanyang pakulo, may sumayaw, kumanta, nag drama, tumawa at kung ano-ano pa basta ma keep yung party na alive and happy and YES! I am so happy spending may January 1, 2019 with them.
