START-UP

One of the trending kdramas this 2020 is Start-Up starring Bae Suzy (Seo Dal-mi) Nam Joo-hyuk (Nam Do-san), Kang Han Na (Won/Seo In-jae) and Kim Seon-ho (Han Ji-pyeong). This South Korean Drama made me laugh like no one is looking, gave me the "kilig" vibes, and made me cry like a river. But, more than that this drama made me realize things in life:

Standing up and owning your choices.

- In the first episode, Dal-mi asked In-jae if she have regretted her choices in life. I know everyone of us are might be a victim of failed choices, questioning if we made the right choice, and regretted a lot, but these made us tough and strong. Standing and owning your choices in life shows accountability, if you harm someone in your journey apologies. Be humble, committed and accountable.

Trust in yourself and others.

- The wind that blows that helped Do-san win (which he thinks the reason why he keeps on winning, forgetting he can able to get it if he trust himself), Ji-pyeong and halmeoni relationship (as an orphan Ji-pyeong never had this kind of relationship, but with halmeoni assuring him that she will be their no matter what, the good boy has a family), Dal-mi wanting to be at the 32nd floor (her determination to strive hard to be a CEO and prove everyone that she can make it trusting her capabilities) and  In-jae's giving chances (which her step father didn't gave her). This series showed that trusting in yourself can bring confidence and trusting others can also empower you. The first step to success is believing in yourself.

Applying the learnings from your choices

- Experience is the best teacher. It might be harsh, just like when Samsan Tech was acquired by 2STO, only the Engineers were taken, poor Dal-mi and Saha. But, that became a learning experience for Dal-mi and for the others, prior to taking actions you must think not just once but as many as you can.

Review and revise.

- Ji-pyeong has always been there for Dal-mi helping her with the team, his (harsh but real) criticism help her to be the person she become. We should reevaluate and assess the plans and the situation.

Teamwork

- As cliche as it may sound, two heads are better than one. But how about the Sam San? Friendship, trust and commitment. A perfect combination that will lead to success.

Uplift

- In your journey to the top, uplift others too. Make them achieve their goals too. Extend your helping hands.

Passion infused with action

- Passion + Action = SUCCESS. Combining passion and action can lead to success. Like Dal-mi keep your passion burning and take necessary actions to achieve your dreams.

If you want to change the world, follow your dreams!

I am strong believer that anyone and everyone of us can make an impact and change the world. I remember when I was ask what phrase/quote would you want to be seen/write beside your name, without any hesitation and full of conviction I said "an agent of change." Yet, as the years have passed I guess it is the other way around, the world changed me, but with these phrases I have realized it is really hard to change the world but start in your little ways, follow your dreams and achieving it, for the betterment of not just for yourself  but also helping others to achieve their dreams too.

Follow your dreams, sail without a map if you can, if you fail, stand up blaze a trail and leave a path for others. Good luck!

Tell me a story, Karl: Lines that resonated in me from Gaya sa Pelikula

Lines that resonated in me from Gaya sa Pelikula Vlad to Karl : "Gay, bakla, bayot, bading just say it. It needs no euphemism. It's not an insult." -  One of the strongest lines I heard from Vlad. Gay was always been used to pinpoint something what people don't like, find embarrassing, or they want to distance themselves from . But with these sharp words he really made us realize that we can say it... it is not an insult. We should be proud of it. Karl to Vlad: " Ginagawa mo akong mas matapang - Encourage to courage. We need someone to push us sometimes, a person who can validate that we can actually do thing and be brave... I was once afraid to try, but thanks to the people behind my back pushing me to take chances and be brave. Karl to Ate Judit: " Totoo nag-aaway kami. Pero alam mo yung kumportable kang makipag-away, kasi walang nakabantay. Pareho kayong umaastang matanda dahil pareho kayong papunta palang  dun ." - We enjoy the things that we do ...

🌸 “Pinalaki Ako ng Daisy Siete” — Kaya Get Get Aw, Laban Laban!”

  🌸 “Pinalaki Ako ng Daisy Siete” — Kaya Get Get Aw, Laban Laban!” A Love Letter to the Kids Raised by Noontime Drama, Tanghalian Memories, and the Queens of Afternoon TV Before we had Netflix. Before “K-drama marathon” was even a thing. Before we learned the words “mental health,” “toxic,” or “self-love”... We had Daisy Siete . We had SexBomb Girls . We had drama at tanghali — ang pinakaunang teleserye ng puso natin. 🧃🥄 Tanghalian Time Was Sacred Time Remember those days? You’d come home from school sweaty, sunburned, and stressed from reciting the Panatang Makabayan . Your Nanay or Lola would serve you a plate of rice, tuyo, or hotdog — maybe pancit canton kung galante — while Eat Bulaga! blasted from the TV. And right after noontime showtime? Boom. Daisy Siete. And just like that, you’re not just eating lunch. You’re entering a world full of heartbreak, sisterhood, sabunutan, and sequins. A world where girls in heels fought for their dreams — and won . 💃 ...

It’s the Twelfth of December, and I’m Twentish

It’s the Twelfth of December, and I’m Twentish This year, one post on TikTok always stops me in my tracks. It says: "Hindi na marami ang tubig ng instant noodles." Simple words, yet they hold so much weight. Each time I read it, something inside me shifts. It’s funny how the simplest things we overlook can make us reflect on how far we’ve come.   I dove into the comments section and found countless stories mirrored my childhood. Each one hit differently:   - "Sawsawan na yung toyo, hindi na ulam." - "Hindi na magsisinungaling sina mama at papa na busog sila." - "May coke na kahit walang bisita." - "You can buy Jollibee now, kahit walang okasyon." - "Hindi na itutulog ang Pasko at New Year." - "May cake na sa birthday." - "Hindi na naghihintay mabigyan ng lumang damit at sapatos ng pinsan." - "Cravings na lang ang sardinas." - "Nakakapag-grocery na yung batang inuutusan dati mangutang ng itlog...
