When I delve in freelancing back in 2020 one thing I regret about is NOT pursuing it despite fear. With consistency.

Ang ending naging course hoarder ako Paid and free. halos lahat ng community nasalihan ko na.

Ending nauwi sa analysis paralysis.

I’m crashing back and forth sa corpo at freelancing with no vision or anything.

But still I’m grateful for these self-inflicted obstacles. Mas nakilala ko yung sarili ko, freelancing is something I once dip my toes but unti unti embracing it’s flaws and joy.

Hindi pa naman full-time, I know I wanted this to work because binabalik-balikan ko yung path.

Now wiser and better.

Survival Mode Isn’t the Enemy

There are days when my “wins” don’t look glamorous.

Hindi sya “BIG” Celebration. Hindi pang tarpaulin,

Minsan, it’s just me showing up for work, or walk 3k instead of 8k.
Mag meditate ng 10 mins instead of 30 mins to 1 hour.

Grow, hustle, excel — everywhere you turn, may nagsasabi na kung hindi ka on top of your game, you’re failing.

Pero eto ang realization ko:

Survival mode isn’t failure.

It’s not laziness. It’s not something bad.

Most of the time, ito lang yung meron ako, specially in planting season.

My friend reminded us in one of our meetings na, Sabi daw ni Don Miguel Ruiz sa The Four Agreements,

“Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Simply do your best under any circumstance.”

That quote hit me hard kasi totoo siya.
There are days when my best means doing big things and chasing dreams.
Pero may mga araw din na my best is just making it through the day.

Ngayon, I see survival mode as a strategy, not a setback.
Parang sinasabi ko sa sarili ko:

“Ito lang ang kaya ko ibigay today, and that’s enough.”

Kung ikaw, nasa survival mode ka rin ngayon, tandaan mo ito:
You’re not a failure.
Hindi mo kailangang mag bida-bida everyday to identify your worth.

Commit to what you can do today.
One step, one task, one small act of love at a time.
Darating din ang thriving season mo.

Pero for now, keep breathing.
Keep showing up.
That’s enough.

This week, I was reminded of how simple inner work looks on paper — journaling, planning, sitting still — and how painfully messy it feels in real life. It’s easy to say, “Just let go of what no longer serves you,” or “Set boundaries,” or even “Choose yourself.” These phrases sound so straightforward when you see them on a quote post or hear them in a podcast.

But when you’re actually standing at that edge — having to unlearn a pattern, confront a fear, or choose a new response — you realize how heavy inner work really is. It’s not just a mindset shift; it’s a full-body experience.

Lately, I’ve noticed how my relationship with myself sets the tone for every other relationship I have. The moments I struggle to show up for me — to be patient, kind, and honest with myself — are often the same moments I notice friction with the people around me. It’s like a mirror I didn’t ask for but desperately need.

And here’s the hard truth I’ve been sitting with: I can’t keep trying to “fix” the outside road — other people’s behavior, circumstances, or even how the world perceives me — when my inner road is full of cracks and potholes I’ve been avoiding.

The moment I said YES, is the moment I can’t back out

— from a person who’s hobby is to runaway from personal responsibilities.

As a person who loves to help people gain clarity, I offer soundingboard call to friends and strangers from the internet. And today, is one of the day that someone reached out to me for it.

I quickly said yes, without hesitation. Asked what’s the best time to call, what messaging tool to use, and even followed up when her meeting will finish.

Hell, I’m really good at this as long as I know I can do it.

But there’s something I dread always, when it’s just few minutes before the call starts. I feel uneasy, wanted to go to bathroom first, or I’m instantly hungry. There’s just something wrong with my stomach. One thing I’m proud of myself lately? Is my ability to push through despite discomfort.

When McMuffin is more than a Breakfast

It’s been a week since I crave for a Mcdonald’s Sausage McMuffin.

I tried to replace it with a so-so menu but it doesn’t give that same satisfaction that I had when I first had it.

I was on my way home from a party. I decided to grab a breakfast while waiting for jeepney’s to arrive.

After securing my order, I chose to sit by the window. A table meant for 4 people even I’m only one.

The sunrise is near, the glass wall was moist, the air was cold. I’m staring at the logo of Mcdonald’s while waiting for my order.

After awhile, the crew gave me my order. McMuffin. Medium Fries. McFlurry Oreo. Yes, you read it. An Ice Cream in the morning because I’m a grown up adult that can do everything she wanted...

Taking a pause is not procrastination, it actually beats them.

Lately, I've been aware of my tasks and abilities and capabilities.

Naramdaman ko yung pagod after I stopped.

Para akong nasa treadmill na, everything's working well,

Ang gaan sa pakiramdam, in flow.

But suddenly, I stopped.

Nakakagulat. Nakakahilo. So I need to hold onto something

to balance myself.

My hands rummaging in the air but wala ako makapitan.

Until I found God's hands.

Then I was told to stay still.

It amazes me na, lagi akong naghahanap ng support sa external forces

But God is always within me, I just need to stay still.

I’m grateful of the chaos that I’m in.

Soobrang ayoko ng problema, sino ba ang may gusto nun?

But this time, I’m actually happy that I enjoy the chaos and even grateful for it.

Dahil sa chaos I’m learning kung alin lang yung mahalaga sa akin

kung ano yung kakayanan ko

At kung ano yung kaya ko pang i-improve.

Ito pala yung other side of self-development they’re talking about.

Stress is there but I know it’s a good type of stress because it’s leading to something I wanted for my life to happen.

Akala ko for the longest time na pagiging 'low-maintenance' friend is a good thing.

Na it meant I was easy to be friends with—hindi demanding, hindi clingy, convenient kausap.

Pero lately, narealize ko na baka ginagamit ko lang pala 'yon as an excuse not to show up.

I used to care so deeply about people around me, pero hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimulang mag-fade 'yon.

Ngayon, parang nandiyan lang ako whenever I feel like it—or kapag natap lang ako.

And honestly? That’s not fair.
Friendship is a 2-way thing.

So this time, I’m challenging myself to actually show up, to check in, and to be a better friend.

Ikaw, paano ka nagsho-show up sa friendships mo? đŸ«¶

Last weekend, I dressed up nicely.

With a skirt.

Which is not my usual attire.

My relatives teased me for dressing up nicely, para daw akong balik-bayan na pina-uwi.

Hindi ko alam saan nanggaling yung description na ‘yon but I laugh it off na lang din.

Bata pa lang ako, I love to dress up na pero lagi akong pinipigilan kasi

👗 di daw appropriate

đŸ©ł hindi bagay

đŸ„ż baduy

So that stopped me and stick to what’s ordinary and appropriate. 👚

Now that I’m grown enough, I still hear those judgement but this time I know better.

đŸ„° I’m doing this for me.

đŸ’ƒđŸ» to feel great.

đŸ§˜đŸ»to show to myself that we’re being cared for.

and my small family loves it!

1 because I look better and
