Work Wear: Changing Times


I am currently drawn to Words with Friends aka the old school scrabble on my phone. It's a refreshing take on entertainment apart from the Candy Crush and Plants vs Zombies. It's fun doing trash talks (just with your friends, not with a random opponent of course!) especially when you hit a very lucrative word/s!

As I quote Solaire's tag line, the games had changed. Indeed, this statement is true to all aspects of life. Everything has changed even down to the petty things like scrabble. Today, you could play the game at your own convenience - no need for the bulky board and flat surface (and physical opponent), play as many intances as your mind could handle, and debate whether the word do exist or not is unnecessary as you have a single point of words database embedded in the application. I was actually surprised to see weird words that are actually legitimate. I love it. It helps stimulate my mind with creativity and added knowledge.

Everyone needs to cope up with changing times. And by coping up means we have to let go of other things that deter our ability to move forward. Otherwise, we will be listed in the world of irrelevant creatures - an it is not a happy thought.

But arguably, I also believe that everything considered "old" or "outdated" are not necessariy irrelevant. Sometimes, these are the ones who are most practical and most effective that replacing them created a whole lot of complexities. Some could be adjusted to fit the "present" times but should not necessarily be scrapped out of picture. Some people regard technology as the best measure to address all life's challenges, but little did they know that old school tricks can make things simpler but still producing impressive results.

My point is that, things are changing in a fast pace and we must keep up with it by looking into the best possible way to combat the challenges it brings - adapting to the technology or keeping up with the old school way but with a hint of adjustments.

And yes, being relevant is a tough task.

Relating it to fashion, we all know how trends change in a blink of an eye. Today it is a carefree kind of skirt and the next day it is replaced by structured and knee-length ones.

And the hard part is to keep up. And that's where timeless pieces come in.

I am always impartial to whites. They are the easiest to pair with almost anything and at the same time display an aura of sophistication when worn correctly.

How do you survive?

Image
I bet people asking me about my life now have one question on their mind which they're itching to ask me (but maybe finds it awkward to ask): how do you survive? So let's get to the real deal of this. To survive, there are two factors to consider - the income and the expenses. For this piece, I will share my "hacks" on how I manage to keep my expenses at bay. Cutting my expenses to more than half does not mean I cut the quality of my life - I still eat great food, you know, Lol. 1. Food  A fool proof hack on food is to make your own.  A sumptuous dish? I cook. A hot and aromatic coffee? I brew. A mouth watering dessert? I bake or prepare. They aren't the perfect or the tastiest version in the world, but Levy and I love most of our home cooked meals. And that's more than enough! Cooking our own food slashes a big chunk of our expenses and boy I am loving every minute I spend in our kitchen! Of course, I don't deprive myself with experience

Work Wear: Flip Top

Image
I am in my shopping ban and is surviving for a month and a week now. Will I take this as a sign of maturity? If it is, then let's toast to that! Well I guess, I do embrace the circle of maturity that's taking over my entire system. I mean, the way I see things now is quite more discerning than how I used to ten years ago. Back then, I severely abhor people whom I think are not, in other way, adhere to what I perceive as the epitome of a correct human behavior. Case in point: I hate social climbers. I hate people that are too negative. I hate people who sees themselves as above the others. And my "hate" list goes on and on. But little by little, I let go of the disgust that I feel for these kind of unlikable people and slowly widened my horizon in the field of understanding. I embraces the concept of: to each is his own. I realized that the diversity of the people, just like the animals and the plants, is what makes this life pretty more interesting. It is the art

Travel Glimpse: Tinago Falls, Biliran Island

Image
Perhaps, one of the differences between a tourist and a traveler/adventure seeker is that the latter goes out of the comfort zone to experience nature's beauty at its finest. The long roads are not obstacles in reaching those intriguing places that one could see for himself. Biliran island. Not a familiar sound when you ask people of where to go for an escapade. It's not Davao, nor Boracay, nor Cebu. This island boasts a total of 30 falls, a number of smaller islands, and hotsprings. One of the stops that we've had was the Tinago falls. From the name itself, this gem is a hidden treasure which needs to be unmasked by going through a 45-minute multicab ride from the main island (Naval).   The good thing about the falls is that there isn't a need to trek further to reach it and the local government has acknowledged it to be a tourist spot, hence the good road! Do you know that feeling when you're going to the "bukid"? The clean air, the lush gr
