I can’t count the number of times I’ve used these two words on initiatives to empty out the junk in my life. 🗑 I feel I’m going to be decluttering for the rest of my existence. It’s really how excessive or “accidental” we can be with the things we buy. For example, I’ve books 3…

Last August 5th was my 1st anniversary as a credentialed R+ trainer, and the first Accredited Dog Trainer (ADT) in the Philippines. I look back at the day I got my results, and felt pure joy and gratitude for all the people, things, and events that helped me pursue dog training as a calling. I’m…

Life threw a couple of really nasty curve balls over the weekend, leaving me crying, throwing tantrums, and just feeling absolutely down to the ground. It took many days before I can finally start filling this space again. But knowing that I’ve made myself promise to write more, I thought it best to break things…

Hey, there. Journal, virtual space stamped with my mark—diwa. How heartwarming yet melancholic this feeling of re-entering what was once an intimate and frequented space. I’ve been silent, and have chosen silence, since Ama’s passing and the arrival of our two new furry family members. Time, physical energy, mental strength were not on my side…

People cope with loss and change in different ways. Some would stay in bed. Some would go on journeys for self-discovery. I’d normally binge on my favorite food 🍗, watch a bunch of anime shows online, or shop online 🛍️ with absolutely no restraint. Nope. I agreed to go with the most unideal, impractical, and…
