How to Self-Sabotage or Not

-

If there is one topic I can probably write about so well, but still not with a good outline just yet, it will probably be on the topic of self-sabotage: A Guidebook on How to Self-Sabotage.

For the past years since the pandemic ended, I seem to have lost a lot of not all, the joy in exploring, discovering and pushing for writings. A lot of things happened since then, both good and bad and I couldn't be more thankful for finding my person. 

Finding and living a life with my person has so far been the highlight of my days. Every day, I am grateful and happy for it. As he works on growing himself in front of me, I felt a bit of shame, telling myself that I used to have the same attitude, what has changed? 

The academic struggles seem to have been forgotten, the joy for journaling waded for a bit and it appeared days were always busy when the truth is, it wasn't. It was just passing through like it is supposed to be and I have been losing all the time by staring, scrolling, and spending wastefully. 

I have started to pick up myself. I requested for re-admission in the university for the option of continuing that Thesis Writing subject. If I would look back, I actually only had one point of rejection with the topic proposal and I let it make MA dreams come crashing. Before that, I thought all my hardwork were hardwork but it appeared that they were just necessary things I have to do coz its part of it. What I didn't realize was that, thesis writing will need a much more different playbook, putting all the things I had learned before into action. 

I need to be able to ask the right questions, curate my own style of gathering ideas and dream a little bit more bigger, just a little bit bigger than I used to coz moving forward, what I can be and I can achieve will not just be for myself, it will be for a family that we would like to build together. 

For the meantime, as I restart on my academic path, it is also the best time to grow together, forcing ourselves to practice good habits such as this picking up on journaling, a healthier lifestyle, a more mindful way of purchasing things and investing again and again in experiences.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
