Renewed

This weekend I would say was a different take on the years I've been going to Baler. Before, it just used to be a surf weekend with friends; a solo travel to relieve stress from work or school; a tour because friends ask me to take them there.

This weekend was my time to have some peace and quiet; a time for me to reconnect with myself; a time for healing; a time to regain strength; a time to reflect and be aware of the blessings I've overlooked.

I had this high feeling of doing something right for myself. Apart from the stoke I get during and after surf, there's a renewed feeling I got the entire weekend. As if my troubles and worries were wiped out, not totally but at least the heavy load on my shoulders lightened.

As I paddled out to the lineup it felt good to be one with the ocean.  You have to be mindful of the current and where the point breaks because otherwise you'll get stuck where the set is. Waves will crash over you, you'd feel being tossed around like a washing machine. This is somewhat like the obstacles we go through. You got to work hard/paddle hard to get through it and finally reach the lineup/our goals in life.




I'm grateful for this weekend, for allowing me to be appreciative of the little things. I'm hopeful for better days, of course I will have to do my part to make the coming days better for me and the people around me.

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
