I’m choosing myself

Published by Kima Rodriguez

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

Published by Kima Rodriguez

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

Published by Kima Rodriguez

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.

Christmas PARTY 2019

Published by Kima Rodriguez

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. Yearly reunion namin’to. Tuwing Jan1 talaga. :DD May gift-giving at pa jackpot pa. P8000 ang jackpot ngayong taon at kung sino ang mananalo, sa nahay nila gaganapin ang party plus yung jackpot na bubunutin naman natin. This year, sa bahay namin yan. SO …

COFFEE, reports, reviews, assignments, experiments, and exams. These are how we will end the first semester. Also, my last semester for now in UPLB (cries 😭) because I am planning to work by next semester. I need to explore, find myself, unwind, and also to help my family. Then once I am already okay I will continue the path that I really want to pursue.  These are my other friends in my MS life. Marel (left) and Barbara (right). They are from Iloilo City. I am lucky to have new friends who are not native TAGALOG or from LUZON specifically (CALABARZON) hahaha. They are so funny, very helpful, intelligent, and always on point. I love them!

How to Really Know Someone Vol. 2

Published by Kima Rodriguez

This is the continuation of “How to Really Know Someone: Vol. 1” blog post.  72. Would you try smoking? Alcohol? Why? Smoke? No, because I have asthma and I can’t stand even for seconds inhaling too much smoke. Alcohol? I already did. I tried drinking one cup of flavored vodka and that’s it. I preferred red wine more than vodka. I hate and don’t drink beers. 74. Would you try drugs? What kind? Why? No! I will never ever do that. I love myself and my internal organs. 75. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know? Why I am here, existing in this painful and unfair world? What is my real mission for living and who are the people that really care for me? What is the meaning of my life? 83. Define a “friend”. A friend is a person who will listen to your dramas, understand you, correct you, change you, teach you, wake you to the reality …

These two and Kiara & Ge (not yet around that time) are my super friends in my MS Microbiology life. I am lucky to have them now while pursuing my Master’s degree (planning to stop for a while tho). These two are super supportive and understanding. Having them around, especially in the laboratory is really full of fun. They are the type of friends that will make you forget about your dramas in life. 

Getting back on the Track!

Published by Kima Rodriguez

It’s great to see that you’re determined to face reality and work on improving different aspects of your life. Acknowledging the need for self-improvement and personal growth is an important first step. Remember, it’s okay to have challenges and setbacks; they are part of life. The key is to learn from them and keep moving forward. Embracing positivity, personal development, and connecting with others are excellent steps to take. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and always remember that you have the strength and resilience to overcome obstacles. Seek support from friends and loved ones when needed, and stay focused on your goals. Your journey toward self-improvement and happiness is a lifelong one, and it’s filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. Keep up the positive attitude and determination! Since I am dedicated now, I fixed my desktop for a change and here it is. I am looking forward to becoming more productive this week and to the following weeks since the semester is about to end. I really need to stay focused and forget …
