An Amateur's Guide on Budgeting & Financial Management

Before I even start I have to say this now-- I am no expert when it comes to budgeting or handling finances. I have to ask my sister for help and guidance most of the time, so I want to dedicate this article to her. Haha! I'm sure most of you will be able to relate to my neverending saving and spending saga. Like me, I know a lot of you struggle when it comes to managing your finances. I've forgotten how many times I tried creating a budget and then failing to strictly and religiously adhere to it because gawd--so many nice and shiny things on sale online and offline! Amirite?! There are also emergency expenses that keeps on messing with my monthly allocated funds. I understand your sentiments and I know people's earnings also vary, but the emergency expenses alone could be one of the reasons why I think budgeting and setting aside emergency funds are important!

My Top 5 "Things to Do" When I Need to Destress

I've been busy with work the past couple of months and although I am extremely thankful for all the opportunities, there are times I feel so worn-out and anxious. This month especially, I nearly had a breakdown. (insert crying emoji haha) Of course, I try not to wallow in these negativities so I try to do things that would take my mind off things. Sometimes when I'm too into the moment I remind myself why I'm here, that it's up to me to turn things around, and as BTS said, "no season is eternal". Whenever I start panicking, I try to empty my mind for a few minutes (detach myself from the situation), breathe deeply, and think of solutions to my problems. It works! When that doesn't work, here are a few more things I do when I badly need to destress or just whenever I have free time...

The latter could be really addicting and I often find myself so immersed that I don't even notice the time. Before I know it, I've already spent hours (or sometimes even half a day) playing haha!

My 13-year Journey in Blogging, Content Creation & Digital Media

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the evolution of digital media and the massive shift I, together with my blogger besties, have witnessed and still witnessing until now. We started from blogging (Blogspot, Tumblr, DeviantArt, WordPress) and then it shifted to Multiply, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and now Tik Tok! Not gonna lie, it scares me (nothing is constant y’all) but it’s also exciting at the same time. However, I cannot discuss these changes without going back from where it all started for me. So let me share with you my personal blogging journey! Let’s go back to 2008, shall we? Read more…

New Specs Review: Peculiar Eyewear

Truth be told, I can't live without my eyeglasses. I've always had 20/20 vision but recently I've been experiencing eye fatigue (especially when I'm on my phone or laptop for hours) and sad to admit, I now have "hyperopia" or farsightedness.
