Credits: Margo Cruz We all have dreams and aspirations. Even though we are in the middle of a worldwide quarantine, I can assure myself that it is not enough to deter us from doing the things we want to do in life. Sure, some of these dreams may be put “on hold” for a little [...]

Salvaging 2020 & Surviving Social Media Slander
Ctto: Photo not mine Whew. It’s been a rough week. Heck, that’s an understatement. It’s been a rough year. To this day, our world has dealt with riots, uprisings and so much division among the people. It’s heartbreaking to see how polarizing this world has become in a time where we all need to be [...]
My “Commencement Speech” to the Graduating Class of 2020
To the Class of 2020, its respective parents, teachers and online guests, CONGRATULATIONS!!

To the person who is afraid to let go
There are no two words in the English language more harmful than “Let Go”. Let’s face it, ayaw natin bitawan yung mga tao’t bagay na mahahalaga sa ating buhay (We never wanna let go of the significant people and things in our lives). But, as my brother would say, “It be like that sometimes”. I’m [...]
IN STEPH I TRUST: Why I will never stop stanning my ultimate life hero
Sigh, it’s been a few hours since Canada won their first NBA championship ever, and to be honest, I’ve been having a really bad day ever since. For starters, kudos to the Raptors for a hard fought series. I won’t be like the rest of the NBA world who likes to discredit and put asterisks [...]
