“Akala ko, kapag may trabaho na ako… okay na ang buhay.”

I used to dream about this…

To work in Makati/ BGC
Na kapag may sweldo na,
kapag may title na,
kapag may routine na…

That was it.

Proof na “okay na ako.”
Na life was finally happening for me.

Pero habang tumatagal,
napansin ko…

My life slowly started revolving around surviving.

Bills.
Deadlines.
Expectations.

And somehow,
it still feels like I’m behind.

Behind sa peers.
Behind sa timeline.
Behind sa sarili kong expectations.

Napapaisip ako tuloy—

“Bakit kahit nagtatrabaho naman ako… parang hindi pa rin enough?”

Maybe because…

We thought work was the finish line,
when in reality,
it was just the beginning.

And along the way,
we started comparing.

We placed pressure on ourselves
to keep up with people
na iba naman ang journey.

Siguro kaya nakakalito ang buhay ngayon…
kasi hindi na ako yung dating ako.
Pero hindi ko pa rin kilala
kung sino ako pagkatapos ng lahat

So if you’re in this phase right now…

Working.
Trying.
Showing up every day—

But still feeling like it’s not enough…

Pause.

Hindi ka nahuhuli.

You’re just in the part of your story
that’s building you quietly.

And maybe the real goal
is not just to survive work—

but to slowly create a life
that feels like your own.

Sabi nila kapag nakakita ka ng baboy, magkakapera ka.

OMG! Eto na ba 😂

What’s the best tagline you’ve ever heard?

Tag that friend na minemessage mo para mag comment sa LinkedIn update 😂

People think we have FOMO.

Fear Of Missing Out.

But honestly?

Most corporate employees have FOBI.

Fear Of Being Included.

Sometimes we’re not avoiding people. 😂

We’re just protecting the little energy we have left after surviving the workday.

Adulting made us introverts. Agree?

Hindi lahat ng itinanim mo ngayon ay mamumunga agad bukas. May mga pangarap na kailangang lumalim ang ugat bago makita ang bunga.

At habang naghihintay ka, may ginagawa ang Diyos na hindi mo pa nakikita.

God does not waste waiting seasons. 🙏🌱

Wag ka na sad 😉

Father’s Day without your dad is a quiet kind of heartbreak.

Habang ang iba ay nagce-celebrate, may mga taong tahimik lang na nami-miss ang isang tao na hindi na nila mayakap.

Namimiss ko yung mga simpleng bagay.

Yung almusal na ikaw ang naghahanda.
Yung pagche-check mo kung nakatulog na kami.
Yung paghatid mo sa school bago ka pumasok sa trabaho.

Mga bagay na dati ay normal lang.
Pero ngayong wala ka na, sila pala ang ilan sa pinakamahalagang alaala.

Kung nandiyan pa ang tatay mo, yakapin mo siya.
Pasalamatan mo siya.

Hindi habang buhay may pagkakataon tayong sabihin kung gaano natin sila kamahal.

Hindi lahat ng lungkot maingay.

Minsan, mare-realize mo na lang na matagal ka nang wala sa kwento ng mga taong palagi mong isinama sa kwento mo. 💔

Interviewer: "Why did you stay at your last company for only 1 year?"

Weak answer: "I wanted new challenges."

Strong answer: "Some people spend 3 years in stagnant roles, hoping for change. I spent 1 year confirming there was no growth path, then moved strategically. I bring that decisiveness to your team."

Frame job-hopping as clarity, not instability.
