5 Signs that You’re Not Okay

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. We don’t strive enough because we want a good result right away, and that’s wrong. It would help if you had effort and hard work in this. Life isn’t easy, no job is easy, and that’s the reality of living. So, I will share the five signs that you’re feeling lost because I have experienced these things until now. I’m still figuring out myself and what career I want to pursue. Confused So many things are happening in our lives now, and we have difficulty grasping everything. Confusion is unable to think clearly, and currently, I’m experiencing it every day. My mind is always in chaos; I don’t know which. …

Why Am I Blogging?

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 …

Tokyo Skytea’s Delicious Shawarma

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. The photos below are the Menus that I have got from the Tokyo Skytea Facebook page. I haven’t tried their smoothie; maybe on my next order, I’ll give it a try. The Taco and shawarma and Fries are both affordable. So if you want to eat delicious food without spending too much penny, then this restaurant is perfect for you. Taco & Shawarma Chicken Fries For my final thoughts, we enjoyed eating these foods. I shared it with my brother because their serving is perfect for two people. My brother also likes the taste of their shawarma meat. They perfectly added …

My Asian Face: July Selfie

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.

It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.

There comes a time when we’re all fed up, we hate everyone, and we want to disappear in this wicked world, and I felt it too. Sometimes, my past haunts me, and I remember every single detail of pain and regret. How can I ever forget those if I can remember every scenario of my life?  Even just a simple thing can lead to an all-day chaotic mind. I didn’t want it, but how can I even resist if I was born with it? I envy those people who can just let everything slide and think what they want to believe. Those people who don’t overthink a lot and chill and relax without worries; How blessed are they? I entitled this post as It’s Okay, Not to Be Okay because it is customary to encounter bad days. We are just humans who have a lot of challenges and struggles in life. But the most crucial thing in this is that we learn and grow.  Recently, my anxiety has kept on attacking me due to some …

3 Recommended Skincare for Oily Face

Due to the stress and pollution I am encountering, and I needed effective yet mild skincare products to keep my skin healthy and nourished. I don’t usually follow the 10 Steps Korean Skincare of others that include so many different kinds of products with different uses. Maybe one of the factors is that I don’t use, wear, or apply makeup every day, so I don’t need to do heavy wash or whatever to do to my face, to make it clean and clear. I will share with you my most used skincare products this month of July. Every month I have a skincare set favorite that I might feature on my blog posts. So for this month, my skin is in love with Simple Skincare Products. I use these three products every day which helps me to achieve the cleanliness, smoothness, and control oil that I’m aiming for. Oil Be Gone Micellar Water A daily skin detox makeup remover to some, but I use it as a cleanser because it is gentle and mild on …

Am I left behind?

Honestly, I’m 26 years of age and still living with my parents. Most of the time, I was thinking about the future that I dreamed of. Why am I only here? No significant achievements yet, no house, no car, and no love life. Whenever I see some posts of other people on social media flexing their achievements, activities, careers, or relationship status, I feel sad and insecure. But then I realized that I should learn to appreciate what I have been working on now and then. I should learn to appreciate what God gave me because I’m still lucky to have my degree, job, family with me, friends, and myself. I was so affected by other people’s achievements because I kept comparing my shoes to theirs, yet I didn’t realize that we have our chapters, our journeys, and our own lives. It doesn’t mean that we’re all in the same boat because we have different trips and challenges based on our experiences. In that way, I should learn to love myself more, focus on where …

Paluto by All Day Supermarket

I’m a food lover, but I can only go out and make random food trips during the weekend with my family because we have no work from that day, and it’s more convenient for all of us (family time). So after Sunday mass, we head to a mall named, All Home. It is known as a one-stop shop for home and renovation needs. We headed there since it’s pretty near and accessible to us. We also planned to dine in for our lunch. All Day Supermarket has a lot to offer. The location of Pluto is near the supermarket. Aside from the grocery store, All Day also has a food area known as “Castroville,” where you can sit, relax, and eat your favorite food. It also has a “Paluto” inside (similar to Dampa services). They can offer you their menu and choose the food you like to eat, or they can also cook your preferred dishes, but you have to buy fresh meats or seafood from their supermarket. These three are my favorites, but we …

Don’t Lose Hope

Nowadays, many things have changed, and we have no choice but to accept and live with them. There comes a time when a particular point in our lives falls without prior notice. The unexpected happens, and we don’t know how to stand up and fix ourselves. I experienced my downfall. After so many challenges happened in my life, I felt that I just wanted to give up on everything, everyone, and even my life. I experienced such things that I can’t even imagine could happen. But life is life. We don’t know what the future holds. We are just the directors of our lives, but we’re not the owners of it. It is hard to be left alone with people who can’t understand you, but it is more challenging if you distance yourself from the people who care about you. I almost shut everyone out and at this point, you’re going to see who stayed with you at your worst and who just left and stopped talking to you. As time went by, some thoughts …
