My journey, marked by the courage to face fear and the resilience to combat loneliness, is a testament to my unwavering determination. I continually push my boundaries, pondering what more I can achieve, a question I revisit several times yearly.   As I shared in my previous blogs, I started teaching or tutoring elementary and high school students online and offline. I even mentioned how ...

"Declutter for New Year"   Happy New Year!  Have you energized yourself and set clear goals to accomplish this year? Have you also listed your New Year's Resolution? Well, I  got some already.    Let me share with you a story first.    One of our New Year family traditions is decluttering our home.  It is one of the activities that my whole mental being strongly ...

My Christmas 2023 Story     As a Filipino, Christmas is always a significant holiday. From 2015 to 2018, I always returned home to celebrate Christmas with my family. I mostly did my homecoming unannounced to my brood as I knew my mother would tidy the entire house squeaky clean, which seemed like overhauling it.   I didn't earn much money back then but couldn't care less ...

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away. "     Hello, folks! It has been a while since I wrote something here. I have been busy as a bee because I'm on a new journey. As I cited in my previous blog, I have been home-tutoring learners privately, and it has been going nicely so far.   This blog will be brief. This blog is something I've newly been grateful for.     In...

Can you recall your elementary life?   Those wake-up calls from Mom or your alarm clock, but you're still dizzy, wanting to stay in your warm blankets a little longer.   How about your classmates who joined you during recess, lunch, and playtime?    How about the clubs you entered? It was where you met your seniors and juniors and built amazing friendships. The clubs th...

Should I live with the phrase, "I was born Catholic, and I will die a Catholic?"    As early as five years old, I could recall and reminisce when my family, relatives, and I went to church to hear mass.     Dressing up with a very itchy dress, lace-designed socks, and shiny black shoes was my kind of get-up. Those times I sprawled on the pew because I dozed off during the...

" The job I HATE the most. "   January 23 at 10:27 A.M.    Suddenly thought of how my life had been as I was on the train heading to the hair salon.    Riding a train in Japan is relatively silent.  You see people locked on their phones, having some shuteye, reading books, or staring blankly at the windows, precisely what I am doing now.    It takes 40 minutes...

Would you be convinced to buy from a teenage salesperson?   We are now enjoying the last month of the year. Signs of gift buying, Christmas embellishments on the roads, and winter getups are everywhere.    I had my Christmas present early this year. I went back to the Philippines from late October to early November. I had the best quality time with them.   Before leaving, ...

A Stroll Day in Atami, Shizuoka.    "Work smart, not work hard." "Work-Life Balance" and "Work hard, play hard" are a few of the phrases I hear from seniors advising young hirelings when they start to work in an industry they choose to grow.   "How to Know? Are there any signs and timing?" I will tell you my view later in this blog.     As you see in most of my blogs, I...

It was gloomy weather, and I finally decided to go to Chiba after two years.      It wasn't an easy month for me as we have lost a priceless gem in the family. My boss genially and considerably invited me to go with her on her business trip to grab some air and deliberate about things deeply.    Well, the gesture meant a lot, and I even felt blessed as she cares for m...

Hiking during autumn in Japan is one of the best to-do activities annually.    This year, we warmed up the season of hiking in Yamanashi, specifically in Shosenkyo Gorge, with a pal whose into hiking.    Shosenkyo Gorge is a national park located in Kofu City, Yamanashi. There is a 4-kilometer trail starting from Nagatoro-Bashi in which you can enjoy the beauty of the rocks o...

 MOUNT FUJI VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGdAcsaBSbw   Answer? SUSHI and MOUNT FUJI!   The unbeatable response you receive from anyone you ask is, "What is Japan well-known for?"   Living 7 years in Japan is a bonus. Working overseas, especially in this country, is not a dupe. Apart from the language and boundless kanji characters that you ought to master, t...

There are countless thoughts as we age.  Those times when you ask yourself these: 1. Is there something I missed? 2. What should I organize ahead? 3. Are my savings adequately? And the list goes on until I reach a question I rarely ask myself - Am I ready to die? What it's like to die?     I got curious and tried to figure out the answer to my question.  Tenacious...

Why trekking?    An inevitable question asked me right after I shared I hiked mountains randomly.   Sports have played a notable role in who I am today. Childhood was weekend playtime. My siblings and I played games with our neighboring mates. It was what we regularly looked forward to doing after a 5-day long school streak. It usually happens as a reward for a job well done ...

PART 1: Something new I did as a Language Teacher   "Reduce, reuse, recycle." "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." "Segregate biodegradable from non-biodegradable." "Keep clean and go green." "Plant a tree today."   Those are just a few of the many slogans that now sound like cliches. We knew them but not often carried them out religiously.    In this blog, I wi...
