IT’S THE SMALL THINGS This is the second in my African adventure realizations series, and truth be told, I do not know how many more will come out of it. That is Africa for you — soul food, mind medicine, and overall, a most transformative, dare I say spiritually awakening experience, different...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS On Monday, May first, we celebrate Labor Day. Known as “Araw ng Manggagawa” here in the Philippines, it is a holiday celebrated in many parts of the world. It is a holiday essentially to honor every hardworking Filipino (or laborer around the world for that matter)...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I was recently asked by a friend of mine during a random conversation – if there are two traits or attributes in a person that you seek when either hiring an employee, or finding someone to work with, what would they be? Although, of course, there are so many more, the first...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I never knew – especially at the height of 2020 – that the day would come where I would actually seek monotonous and steady moments. Never did I think these kinds of moments would actually bring me comfort and peace. I guess it took my stress levels to reach its peak for...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I have heard this term countless times, and much more frequently recently in podcasts and vlogs. With all that has happened in this world in the past few years, and in a moment of introspecting, I decided to ponder upon this thought further. Much more so recently, I have...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS This coming Tuesday is Valentine’s Day. Traditionally, we celebrate Feb. 14th – or as hallmark and Hollywood culture supposedly dictate – with a significant other. This is perhaps why Valentine’s Day has also given rise to the notion of Single Awareness Day when...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS And just like that, January is over. We are on to the second (and shortest) month of the year. Time truly flies, and though some days can be long, the weeks go by and the months are fast. February has always been a month I look forward to. It is the month that celebrates love....
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS In as much as I support the notion of new year’s resolutions, and the mere fact that I do set goals for myself on a regular basis, I also do believe that there is no right or wrong time for resolutions. In other words, the time is now, and this very moment is as good a time...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS As far back as I can recall, while others are busy starting their new year with new year’s resolutions, I like to end the first month of my new year thinking about mine. I like to ease into the tone of things after the holidays, and really think about what growth and...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS 2023. A new year, a new chance, a new opportunity. To many, the start of a new year is seemingly a blank canvass where we turn over a page and start anew. To others, it can sometimes be anti-climactic and seemingly (quite literally) just another ordinary day with 24 hours....
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS The last week of the year was spent with those who the first week of the year was welcomed with as well. And in as much as a lot happened in 2022, it is always refreshing to note that some things stay the same (and should stay the same). 2022 was a year of transition – more...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Christmas is the season of giving, and to be quite honest, I have always found joy in gifting others. There is an unparalleled and indescribable joy in knowing that you have made someone smile. Most of the time, it does not take a lot. Complimenting someone truthfully, for...
