2020 - Dealing with Anxiety

Hi guys, 

This is me restarting my own blog. It's October 13, 2020 and I am currently on leave from work starting today until October 16, 2020. Why? because I just had a mental breakdown :(

I hate to admit it but yes, I am suffering from anxiety and I know a lot of people are experiencing the same. It's not actually surprising given our current situation - COVID19, incompetent government, stress from everywhere, fear and all the abnormalities.. at some point even the strongest ones will have to cry and release the stress. I know I could've prevented this from happening. I thought making myself busy at work would make me forget all these stressors until my work became my primary stressor and here I am stuck at home, writing this blog, releasing my thoughts and hoping I could also shed some light to people who are experiencing the same. 

So what should we do?

1. TAKE A BREAK

Yes, this is actually encouraged. It's ok to rest. Why do you think we have Vacation Leaves? It's not there for no reason.. going back to work-life balance, we deserve to take a break. Our body is a like a machine, it can run for as long as it can but at some point it would reach its peak and would need to get new parts to keep running. #burnout. So don't wait for you to lose it.. take some rest, take care of yourself. 

2. DO THINGS YOU LOVE

Nowadays, I barely sing, dance, exercise.. After work, I sleep and then I wake up to work again. What are the things you used to enjoy? Are you still doing those now? If your answer is no, then you might want to try and start those activities again. You'll be surprised that it's such a mood changer. Talking about #endorphins I don't know how much of that I already lost. So join me as I rediscover my hobbies.. try them too :)

3. GET A SUPPORT FUNCTION

Family, friends, mentors, colleagues.. they care for you. When was the last time you talked to them? When was the last time you spent quality time with them? We're so overwhelmed with work and stuff that we don't even have time for them. Re-connect and talk to each other, they will be your source of strength and you'll be theirs too. Lastly, pray.. offer your worries to God, we cannot bear this alone we need someone greater to help us carry this heavy burden. Lift it all up to Him and Trust that he will make things better :)

We can do this!

NEW LASEMA SPA AND JIMJILBANG

WE NEEDED A DAY OFF! We needed to soak in hot jacuzzi, get a Swedish massage and eat noodles! Got all these in Lasema Spa and Jimjilbang! We were so stressed that we got the Lasema Package to fully enjoy our stay! The place is just in Makati, it's clean and well sanitized, we just got trouble looking for a parking space because theirs was full when we got there nevertheless, there were still available spaces to park around the area. Just pay around P100.00. So first, you will need to wait at the lobby and pay. Then you'll be given clothes and towels to use before you get inside. As you enter, you'll immediately see a locker room. In fairness, it's clean! Note that you should remove your underwear. (I suggest you also bring another set of undies). The first door you'll see inside the locker room is the shower and jacuzzi area where everyone is required to be naked... yes bare! Don't worry girls and boys are separated and the people are very professional. So just ...

IT WILL BE OKAY

Here’s to all the men and women who have been deeply broken… by people, by circumstances, by fate. I am telling you, it’s painful now but everything will be okay.   People open up to me… I listen… I empathize and I pray for them.  It’s hard, for sure! I’ve been there too. I know the feeling of wanting to give up, of losing hope, of crumbling down. Why are these things happening? I don’t deserve this! I’ve been a good person.. WHY? I asked these questions too… and honestly, I still don’t have an answer up to this moment. Because we can really never know! All we can do now is to go on with the waves of life and have faith that things will get better. So cry! Go on! Show your emotions! But don’t you ever give up. If you’re afraid, sad and angry, it’s okay… do it anyway… because things are fucked up anyways, you’ve nothing to lose and the least that we want is to have regrets. This is the time to just be brave and fight even though things are not getting better. Live life day b...

Sis2Sis - Makeup on the Go!

Sis2Sis Makeup I always see these products in 7 Eleven and I was curious so I bought one - the CC Cushion.. anyway, it's just P89.00.  I was fond of making make-up videos so I tried to feature Sis2Sis CC Cushion at one of my vlogs. Surprisingly, the quality and coverage did not disappoint me, this baby can definitely be part of my make-up kit.. I mean if you're looking for a handy CC cream, this would pass the vibe! Later on, I bought the mascara and lip tint too. So cute because the mascara didn't smudge at all and the lip tint was so matte, I think it will last all day! What's good about Sis2Sis is that it's quality make-up made handy for travelers and people on the go! Don't worry if you forgot your make-up cuz you can always drop by your nearest 7 Eleven store and buy Sis2Sis. This will also save you from the airport hassle of bringing bottled makeup products, just bring these sachets and you're good :)
