Anyone who have seen the interview of Ma’am Rovelyn sa Tonitalks? Any take on that?

As for me, 2 months had passed and yet naiiyak pa rin ako everytime nakakakita ako ng content about him.

The family is so simple so innocent sa mga bagay bagay. And I am hoping and praying na sana iguide sila ni Lord at ni Rene to be surrounded by honest people. Yun bang hindi sila pagsasamantalahan lalo na ang daming blessings na dumarating sa kanila now. And I hope na mabigyan sila ng lawyers who will fight til the end kasi may kaso naman talaga. At meron talagang dapat managot..

Rene Baterbonia

I was not familiar with his name. The last time I watched basketball nung panahon pa ng Ginebra. Yes, I am a die hard fan of Ginebra. Panahon nila Vince Hizon, Gayoso yun ang pinapanood ko. So nung nagretire na sila, nagretire na rin ako sa panonood ng basketball.

Until the news about Rene Baterbonia came online. It was a tragic death. Halos kada bukas ko ng facebook news about him and Divine ang nababasa ko. Mga videos nya during the Palarong Pambansa ang kadalasan nasa reels.

This young man from Agusan Del Sur caught my attention. From June 8 thereon, I monitor every news, every videos about him. And I can’t help but feel sorry for his lost. He was still too young. Sabi nga nya, “just a simple kid with a big dream”. And he still yet to fulfill that dream especially for his family. He is with the Lord now. I have not watched a replay of his games yet (but planning to do it this weekend).

Born on May 8, 2008, stayed in Manila for 8 days, died on June 8 a month after he celebrated his 18th birthday. We all know that “8” is an infinite no. Almost all of us like this no. And somehow this no.plays a significant part in Rene’s life.

I was affected. Grabe yung impact ng pagkamatay nya sa akin. I don’t know why. Naisip ko na sana di na lang sya lumuwas sa Manila pero sino nga ba ang mag aakala na may mangyayaring masama sa kanya? I am sure mismo sya di rin sya handa sa kinahantungan nya. But God has a better plan.

I am mourning as a mother to a young athlete na hindi na nabigyan ng chance to do great things in UAAP. I am mourning as a child na hindi na natupad ang mga pangarap para sa sarili lalo na para sa pamilya..

Let us continue praying for the soul of Rene and for his family. May God grant them the strength and wisdom that they needed now.

Rene, wherever you are, look after your family. And know that you have my respect and admiration. Rest in paradise kiddo🙏

Maaring sa ngayon ikaw ay tinatapon tapon na lang. Sa ibang tindahan hindi na tinatanggap. Darating ang panahon na ikaw ay panghihinayangan kung bakit pinabayaan. Balang araw malalaman ang iyong halaga. Sa ngayon, itatabi ka muna.

25 centavo coins.

Wag itapon ang mga barya baka balang araw ito ay sa iyo magliligtas😉

OFW wife. Seaman’s wife.

Every time people would know that I am a wife of a Seafarer, most often than not, sasabihin nila, “pede ka na pala di magwork eh”.

Well, actually, pede naman. If only di tumataas ang pamasahe, ang kuryente, ang tubig, ang pagkain, ang gas, tuition fee at kung ano ano pa.

And please don’t generalize seaman. Kasi iba iba din ang mga position nila. Kung may rank siguro like Captain, Chief Engineer maaaring yun siguro buhay Reyna.

But, may nga kakilala pa rin ako na pinipiling magtrabaho. Alam mo kung bakit? Dahil para na rin sa self fulfillment. Di ba mas maganda kung alam naman na kaya mo na magwork, yung tulungan kayong mag asawa sa mga gastusin, sa mga pag iipon? Yung pareho kayong magnanais na maabot ang mga pangarap individual man yan o para sa buong pamilya.

Iba pa rin kasi if you know how hard it is to earn money. Mas papahalagahan mo ang bawat sentimong ginagastos mo.

And to quote a friend “mahirap kasi na pati ba naman pambili mo ng na*kin, sa asawa mo pa hiningiin”.

Disclaimer:No offense meant to those seaman’s wife who have decided to stay at home and take good care of the family. Mahirap din yan. And I have also experienced that for a while. Sadyang there is something inside me na hinahanap magtrabaho.

God bless🙏

Mental health is important.

I remember when I was still working in one of the biggest developers in the Philippines, I had a situation wherein I would question myself, am I that person?

Just to give you a background, I had this Boss who always criticized my work. Lagi may mali sa gawa ko. Wala ng tama. At first, ok lang eh. Pero darating pala yung time na “wait, bakit ganun?”

Of course I have shared the sentiments to my co workers baka sensitive lang ako pero di pala. Hindi lang pala ako ang nakakaramdam ng something was off.

Honestly, umiiyak ako kapag naikukwento ko ito sa iba kong mga kaibigan. Iba yung trauma na naidulot nya sa akin.

So I started thinking, is the salary I am getting enough for me to stay even if I felt something was wrong? “Ok, I need the compensation. I think I can still manage.” I told myself.

But it was a cycle. No improvements. So when my contract ended and they did not renew, at first I felt sudden panic. I have bills to pay, I was not expecting it. But, somehow I thought that it was an answered prayer.

I won’t be hearing nasty things, I won’t be questioning myself anymore. Finally, I will have that peace of mind. I am FREE!

Lesson that I have learned from this experience was that no matter how big your salary is, if staying won’t give you peace of mind, go out. There are still a lot of opportunities waiting out there.

Ako lang ito. I don’t know your story. So feel free to share.🥰

God bless!🙏

Good morning everyone! New day new blog!

On my way now to my manning in Cainta Rizal. Here now in LRT station. Thinking of what to put in here. Hmmm, a lot of you would think selling is easy money. But you overlooked the sacrifices made, the tears shed with all the pawis on the side. Mahirap magbenta nowadays lalo na kalaban mo yung mga magagaling sa AI. Pero syempre, the warrior in me won’t give up. Lalaban tayo. Kahit pa dun tayo sa traditional way of selling.

But, I am open in adapting to the new trend. Hinay hinay lang syempre hindi naman tayo techie.😂🤣

By the way baka may marerefer kayo ha. Let me know. Extrq income nyo na rin.😊

O sya malapit na ako bumaba. Til my next blog.🥰

God bless🙏

So yun na nga.

I have asked ChatGPT for help in determining my niche. And from what ChatGPT analyzed from the information na naprovide ko sa kanya, inclined daw ako sa pagsusulat. Well, come to think of it, I was in journalism in Highschool. And I love writing my thoughts. Baka eto na nga ang calling ko.🤣😂
I remember one of my cousins commented that I am a very opinionated person. I was offended at first but I have realized if expressing your thoughts would make me an opinionated person, then ako nga yun. 😂
So expect more of my story. Just random thoughts. Everyday happenings and anything in between😉
