6 Crucial Advice for Travelers in 2021
*** The pandemic has crushed so many hopes and dreams, from aspiring theater actors to small businessowners. It seems tame in comparison that it also curbed the wanderlust of would-be travelers. According to a survey of would-be travelers, 60 percent of Americans plan on traveling more in 2021 than in 2019. This could be because a year of lockdowns and community quarantines has stoked the fires of exploration. Or it could be because a year of research and binge watching has made people itch for new vistas. No matter what your motivation is for wanting to pack up and travel, you will need some advice to navigate the new…

Book Review: Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo
Nothing in this world, can’t be fixed – everything is figure-outable.” Marie Forleo’s line that speaks so much to her – which made this quote ”EVERYTHING IS FIGUREOUTABLE” has now become a book. Instead of writing down my book review, here’s the vlog version of it on #JMTV. Apology for the late update on this, I’ve actually completed the book since last year. :) Enjoy! God bless,

Looking More Professional in Easy and Simple Ways
Regardless of whether we intend to or not, we often judge people by their physical appearance. Perhaps this is a leftover evolutionary trait to judge whether someone is a threat to our survival. We often judge people instinctively first and decide rationally later, after all. However, physical appearance does matter. Especially in an industry where appearing in front of people is in the job description. This makes putting effort into your looks a worthwhile investment. Ultimately, we want to make a positive first impression, or at least have a professional one. Whether your job is in front of a reception desk or talking to clients for a corporate firm, there…

#CreativeCourage2020 Recap
We have bid Goodbye to 2020 and Hello 2021. The moment or season of the year where we start over and list down our goals and also review the past goals and all other goal setting stuffs.

7 Financial Goal for 2020
Fifteen (15) more days before the year ends and indeed like many of you, I’ve also started creating my Year-end reviews. One of the many aspects that we all must check and reflect on every year-end or in the beginning is our finances. So I thought of sharing 7 Financial Goals that I would like to do/achieve (or already doing) for 2020. 1. Stick to a Monthly Spending Plan Many of us might be that kind of person who actually have a spreadsheet crossing out (or highlighting) our expenses and at times, you’d probably notice yourself that you’re deviating to your actually budget. So this 2020, commit to sticking on…

22 Feb 2019 | Dubai So Far . . .
It’s been a year. Well, technically, 9 months (not counting my 5 months in Cebu)… In this 8 months, our Fridays have always been booked for the community activities and Kokobear’s day off falls on the same day. Thus, it means our time to explore the new city is limited but it hasn’t stop us from enjoying some of its views. We’ve visited a couple of parks, toured the malls: IBN Battuta, Dubai Marina Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall. I’ve toured 3 Day-to-Day shops in Rigga, Burjuman and Union. hehehe – that “kuripot” (stingy) in me still love going to this type of shop. And of course, we’ve…

Reversed Bucket-list
I got this idea from Abbey Sy (@abbeysy) – an artist, author and creative that I’ve been following and has been inspiring me in some ways. She shared on her IG stories that her mentor taught her this idea, so – it’s time to re-create this on my blog too! The idea of having a bucket-list is a way to take initiative on the things you wish to accomplish. While a reversed bucket list allows you to write down the things you’ve already done & accomplished. Things that makes you happy and proud of. Thus, allowing you to appreciate what God has blessed you with. Here’s to celebrating the things…
