National Youth Day 2017: We are Flawed


Hi! If you don't know what NYD is or what it's for, you can read more about it here.

The event has 3 sessions: We are Flawed, We are Good and Gifted and We are called to offer our lives/We are called to make a difference.

We are Flawed.

 What I understood during the session was that being broken doesn't mean you can't be repaired. No matter how broken a person is, he/she is still capable to be fixed and that even though he/she is broken that doesn't mean they are not destined to do great things in the future.

I know this has been said a lot of times already, but I will say it again. Nobody is perfect. No matter how perfect you think someone is, they're really not. They have problems and insecurities like any other person out there. Each and every one of us is flawed, we have our own set of criticisms about ourselves but even though we are flawed, that doesn't mean we can't be our own definition of perfect. If we accept our weaknesses and shortcomings and make them our strengths, our assets, we can be our own definition of perfect. If we accept everything about ourselves, the good and the bad, the less we should care about what other people would think. What matters is our own opinion about ourselves because we, you, are capable of changing and improving oneself for the better. After all, Change is the only thing constant in our world and Perfect is just a word, you make your own perception or definition of it.

Remember, after a storm, there is a rainbow. So whatever problem you have, don't be scared to open up to people who you trust and you know won't judge you because they can understand what you go through and will help you. Also, never run away from a problem because it only makes it worse, face it head on and if things don't go the way you want it to, think positive and always keep in mind to improving oneself for the better.

The Story of How I Fell in love with my Best friend

Falling in love. What does that even REALLY mean? Was it like when I was about 10 years old, I thought falling in love was when I liked this high school kid so much that I became lowkey obsessed with him and I considered him my first love? Back then, I really thought that it meant that. But as I grew up, falling in love became harder and harder to recognize and define each passing day. Falling in love especially to myself but this is not about how I fell in love with myself but worse, with my best friend. Did I regret falling for him? No. Do I still love him? Maybe. Are we still friends? Yes. Am I ready to fall again? A lot of my close friends already know this story and has seen my ups and downs. Quick spoiler: We never happened. If you think that this is a story of how I told him I liked him and he also said he liked me back, then you're in the wrong post. Maybe some people are lucky enough to have that but not me and especially not this story. This is my story on how I

IPON CHALLENGE: 20K EDITION

I started this Ipon Challenge on January 1 talaga. It was part of my New Year's Resolution this 2017 and i'm happy because I finished it. Since I posted some pictures in twitter, a lot of people asked for tips on how to save. This ipon is I saved 50 pesos a day or roughly a dollar a day and this includes saturdays and sundays. My average allowance a day when there are classes is roughly around 150 pesos or less than 3 dollars. So here are some tips on how to save:  Learn to prioritize . Prioritizing what to buy and if is it important enough to be bought. I learned to not buy on impulse and think about my purchases wisely. Even when it comes to food, I learned to buy only what would make me full and choose where to eat that will benefit me the most.  Learn to say no. Oftentimes, my barkada or group of friends would usually eat outside campus and whenever we eat outside I tend to splurge more than the usual amount I would actually spend on food. This doesn't apply o
