I know I have a lot to unpack for the past two months but let me prioritize this one first. This one is a milestone worth-sharing, and I wouldn’t want to wait for another month before dropping this one. This wasn’t the first WordPress Meetup I attended. Back on March 15, 2025, I got invited …
Great things happened recently. I have a lot to unpack. For now, I just want to let you know that I am being transformed by what has transpired in the past weeks. I am still here, figuring this out. I know, it took me a long time before coming back here. Things have been so …
A personal reflection on the book that found me while I was quietly rebuilding I didn’t plan to read Designing Your Life. It wasn’t something I searched for or added to a list. I didn’t even pick it out. Kevin gave it to me. No big intro, no “you have to read this,” no emotional …
This isn’t a polished piece. I didn’t outline it, and I probably won’t edit it much. Just a soft brain-dump before the thoughts fade — the kind that comes to you in between deadlines, to-do lists, and moments of stillness. I don’t know when you’ll read this. I know you visit from time to time, …
Recalibrating After the Fall As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I recently had to recalibrate my ESL career after an unfortunate professional mishap I committed. It was humbling, uncomfortable, and (truthfully) exhausting—but necessary. Now, I’m slowly reviving my presence on the two ESL platforms I’ve worked with. Yes, I’ve taken to moonlighting—partly out …
There are days when something important slips out of your hands. Something you gave your time to. Something that once made you feel steady. And suddenly, it’s gone—not because you failed, but because life can sometimes be unfair in ways that don’t make sense right away. I lost something recently. I won’t go into details …
Another thing to unpack about my life for the past years is this particular path of my career that I’ve been doing on the side: hosting events. It wasn’t something I initially imagined myself doing. I started off just fine being a teacher—working with students locally and abroad, creating lesson content, and strengthening my communication …
In the previous posts I made here, you’ve probably known that I have been running for months already. One thing I aimed to tick off my bucket list is to finally join a running event. I wouldn’t be running much lately if I didn’t actually enter our city’s running community. This week’s the celebration of …
There’s this kind of silence that often surrounds the strong ones. We’re the people who carry what needs to be carried, solve what needs to be fixed, and stay composed even when something inside us begins to quietly break. And when the crash inevitably happens, we hide it. We survive it. Then we move on, …
Everyone who lurks here knows that I’ve only just begun to rebuild my life after years of quiet survival. I finally found myself catching a break after such efforts of balancing heartbreaks, transitions, and silent prayers. For the first time in a while, my life is beginning to shape into something I want to hold …
