Wag the Dog

Wag the Dog: 

A diversion away from something of greater importance.

Though someone of higher authority than me is too blind to see it, I am flooded with work deliverable and it's manifesting on my longer working hours and pimples on my face. My parents didn't raise an only child to be a quitter so here I am, swimming harder and seeing the silver lining that is me learning new things that will be useful as I climb the corporate ladder. As you grow older you realize how important it is to adapt time management skills because not doing so will affect our work-life balance. Though I post pictures in Facebook about my personal life, this blog won't be highlighting much about it. Bryan and I are happy and I still get kilig :)  

So what's been keeping me busy aside from work and personal life? Me trying to be fit (snapchat:mynymisnym) and accepting the offer as one of the Board of Trustees of Cebu Bloggers Society.

I know I know there are already a lot on my plate as it is but believe it or not, at this point, the choices I made are being carefully thought over and they are something that I can see myself committing to for a long time. Offline relationships are something that I have to work at being better because being addictive to my phone to communicate (ironically) tends to bind me and steers me away from mental recklessness. Let's not forget to capture as much freedom as we can and we are born in this world without electronic gadgets, I'm pretty sure we can survive not being owned by our material possessions too much-Pokemon Go or not.

What validates a relationship?

It's not the likes and the shares. It's the love that we receive and not the ones we beg for. There is nothing romantic about heartbreaks nor unrequited love. Most relationships fail because one has set the bar basing from movies and social media. Be ready for that person who's ready for you too. It's your right to know what's the real score between that person's ex as is it's that person's right to know yours. 

Don't waste your time trying to prepare for a battle that should have been not yours to deal with in the first place. If someone who left comes back to stay, stop and think about the reason why they left and make it your deciding point to pursue or just end it altogether.

The ball is in your court

The Ball Is In Your Court: 
It is your decision this time

How was everyone's summer?

I've got more than 10 entries scheduled to be finished but I am taking my time since my thoughts are scattered all over my imaginary cork board. As with every blogger, I prefer them to be put in order before every one can read and digest them. If you guys only knew /lol

I've been in and out of my bikinis for the whole monthS of summer and though some who know me well don't really mind, a few can't help but drop a few snide remarks like, "You know you still have to lose those lower flabs, right?" or "Your arms are still big for your body frame" I pay them no mind, my fitness journey is mine and mine alone to take, no one can do it for me so as with blogging, I am doing it in my own pace. If you think I'm too scantily clad, I've always worn bikini as early as I can remember getting away with it. Last time I checked, we live in an island where the beach is only a few kilometers away. I don't care if you wear a rash guard so please, stop the hate and mind your own business. I've always withheld any judgment to those who wear what they want to wear and last time I checked, we are in an age where we have to recognize that there's more to people than meets the eye.

Tell me more about your struggles. I want to know not because I'm secretly glad you have them but I want to tell you how beautiful you've become after you surpassed what's supposed to destroy you. Tell me how big your heart is and how you will always have space for those who think themselves as unlovable. Tell me how you will always be tireless in giving more because you have so much to give. 

Tell me you know your worth and that you'll only settle for someone who will make you feel empowered, light and free. Promise me that either way, the ball is in your court and you will never get tired of fair-weathered friends who seem to misunderstand your daily struggle and that, you'll forgive them anyway though for someone so authentic, fake people will always take time getting used to.

I don't know where that came from. But we are on to lighter digests like what I wore. This was taken last May at JPARK with mom and friends. Kiddos, there will come a time when being with your mom and her friends will be something you'd always look forward to joining (albeit uninvited) because they are more fun to be with.
