Education Should Be a Priority

Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to finish school. I have always been bright and curious, eager to learn, but life was not easy. School felt like a ladder I had to climb. Each step was hard and required all my strength. I worked part time jobs, attended tutorials, and became a student assistant just to keep going. Some nights, I came home so tired my body ached, yet I opened my books by the dim light of a lamp, determined not to fall behind. Finally, I reached the top. I finished school. I am proud not just of surviving, but of using my mind and determination to overcome the challenges. But I know not every student can climb this ladder. Many want to learn, but they do not have the support, strength, or resources to balance work and school. That is why I believe our government must pay more attention to education. I am grateful for the programs and support that exist, but sometimes the money does not reach the students who need it most. Some people take advantage of the system, ...

Relationship & Travelling - Why couples who travel together stay together?

I still remember the first out of town trip my then boyfriend now my husband went to. It was 2005, a few weeks after my college graduation. My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Puerto Galera.  I was a fresh graduate and still unemployed and my bf has just started working. We had very limited funds and just managed to rent a room in the house of a local resident who sublets their rooms to tourists. We just had enough funds to have three decent meals per day for three days and enough for a back and forth transportation fare. Even though the budget was tight and the trip was simple, our time spent together was more important. The simplicity of the trip made it perfect!

After that trip, we decided to have a trip together every year. We started to travel locally to places like Boracay, Bohol, Pagudpod, Palawan to name a few and when I was assigned abroad for work, we started taking trips outside the Philippines as well. We have visited majority of the South East Asia and some countries further like China, Korea, Japan and last year was in Australia. We recently got our US visa approved and planning our trip there. I want to inspire couples to travel more. It will help strengthen your relationship. And there is nothing that compares to the excitement of exploring the world with the person you love most.

Here are some benefits of traveling together:

1.       Build Memories Together
Those memories you share as couple will last forever and will always remind you that you have someone to share your happiness and someone to cheer you up when you are down.

2.       “Us time”
With work, family and other commitments, we tend to be busy with our lives. An “us time” is important. It will bring you closer together as you can share your thoughts, express your feelings and really have an intimate time together.

3.       Knowing each other more
Every time we travel, we learn more about each other. When travelling, it is not always a smooth road. You will experience some bad moments along the way. But by that bad experience, you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of each other.

4.       You have each other
I really feel safe when travelling with my husband. There will be some unexpected moments when travelling but because you have each other, you’ll definitely overcome those unfortunate incidents.

5.       Refreshing the relationship
Relationship tends to become a bit boring or monotonous after some time. Going out and exploring something or somewhere new will refresh or re-energize your relationship.

6.       Excitement of the first time experience
It is an amazing feeling when you and your partner share a first time experience. The feeling of experiencing and seeing new is priceless.

Positivity Amidst the Lockdown

A few months before 2020,   I bet  everyone  of us has already laid out plans for the coming year.  Given quite a number of long weekends, w e already have a good idea for our vacation plans, how will we utilize our work leaves and where will we go during our holidays. Then enter 2020.  January proved to be not a good start of the year. There were volcanoes erupting, celebrities dying and yes of course Covid-19  pandemic . Covid-19  pandemic  which is caused by the Coronavirus  resulted for  most of  us to be locked  down in the comforts of our own homes. Employees were advised to work from home and stay away from the public to contain the spread of the virus. Unfortunately for some, their livelihood was taken away because working from home is not feasible and their company has no means to sustain the workforce. Experts say that the world will be going to a period of depression and many more jobs will be inevitably ...

Dating vs Being Married

Dating  is the early stage of the relationship where both show off the good  and shiny version of our selves.  It’s the time when we put our best foot forward an d try to impress one another. As  time passes by, we became more settled, feelings grow deeper and eventually get married. As we get more comfortable with each other, we tend to notice some changes in our partners, and I think most couples will agree. Marriage can be wonderful. It can be an overflowing feeling of happiness.  On the other hand,  it can also turn   out to be the worst thing that could happen to you . It’ s essential  to use  the  dating  stages   to get  to  know and be familiar with our partner. It can help decide whether you want to have that commitment. But sad to say, people hide what their true colors are. No body is perfect. When you decide to  live together in the same roof, that’s the time you will really know who your par...

True Friendship Is Tested by Distance, Silence, and Time — Yet Still It Stands

Friendship is one of the most beautiful things in life. It’s not just about having fun together or talking every day. It’s about being there for each other, even when life gets busy or hard. Some friendships are easy when everything is going well. But real friendship gets tested. It’s tested by distance, by silence, and by time. And the ones that survive these quiet tests are truly special. Sometimes, we move to new cities or take different paths. We don’t see our friends as often as we used to. But true friendship doesn’t depend on being close every day. It’s about feeling close, even when we’re far apart. One message, one memory, or one call can remind us how strong the bond still is. Life also brings silence. We don’t always have time to talk. We get busy. But silence doesn’t always mean distance. With true friends, even after long gaps, we can pick up right where we left off. There’s no pressure to explain — just an unspoken understanding that we’re still here for each other. T...
