WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, READ THIS :
1. This is a Phase.
Tough times are just a phase.
Sickness is a phase.
They don't last forever.
Life is a cycle of highs and lows.
Remember, this too shall pass.
You're in the middle of the storm now, but clear skies are ahead. Hold on.

Never underestimate your resilience.
- You've survived 100% of your bad days.
- Inside you, there is an inner strength.
- Your potential is greater than any problem.
Remember, you're stronger and more capable than you believe.
3. Small Steps Count.
Progress isn't always a leap forward.
Sometimes it's tiny, almost imperceptible steps.
Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal.
Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.
4. Remember Your 'Why'.
Think back to the reasons why you started.
Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

Self-care is essential, especially during tough times.
- Eat nutritious food

Strength isn't just about enduring in silence. It's also knowing when to ask for help.
To my friends and readers,
Fight for yourself. No matter how difficult it becomes, never let yourself give in.
After some time, your spark will eventually return.
You will come out happier, healthier, and wiser
I did not vote for VP Leni Robredo. In fact, I was a Duterte-Cayetano supporter. I would like to believe that I was objective since I called out our president when he made sexist jokes and supported the burial of Marcos. But because I disliked Mar, PNoy and the Liberal Party so much, I automatically disliked Leni and everything she represented, especially the people she affiliated with. This was in 2016.
In 2018, I was already feeling so uncomfortable with having to “defend” our president and have gotten so sick of listening to his ramblings. I had the opportunity to be a researcher for our debate team and our topic was about the West Philippine Sea dispute. This was my turning point. Our own president could not even protect our sovereignty and portrayed such a defeatist attitude. I was disappointed not only in him, but also in myself. Because I banked so much on his promises and he put my hopes up just to crush it. It was a gradual transition, but his stand on the WPS dispute was the last straw for me.
I know it took 2 years, but it’s better than being an avid cult fan until today. The twitter trend is so apt: Kung di ka pa galit, bakit?
Moving forward to January 2020, we were all clamoring for a plan and a strategy to prevent covid from coming into our country, but our calls were unheeded. Until, of course, March 2020 happened. What was preventable and could have been mitigated became a nightmare of outrageous proportions. Duque and our president said we were ready and prepared for COVID but, of course, we were far from prepared. Doctors and healthcare workers were not equipped to battle this because we did not have enough PPEs.
Living in Iligan City, I felt that we would definitely be the last ones they would help because NCR was the hotspot of the virus. My brother-in-law was the only infectious disease specialist in our city and I was so afraid for him. I knew I had to do something. ANYTHING! I tried to contact suppliers in the Philippines, in China, and in the US for PPEs. I also coordinated with other groups and our college for donations. We could not leave our health workers to die just because of our inept and unprepared government. We had to do our part.
I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw all these contact numbers we can reach out to, so I contacted as many as possible. Until I contacted someone who knew Leni Robredo’s daughter. All I did was give my brother-in-law’s name, the hospital name, and the address. It was as simple as that. That was the ONLY time I felt like a high-ranking official, WHO I DID NOT PERSONALLY KNOW and did not have any CONNECTIONS to, would actually LISTEN to an ordinary person like me. Honestly, that floored me. Kaya naman pala? Then I started following Leni and saw how she keeps updating people through her social media accounts. The transparency, the willingness to reach out to those who would normally be ignored unless you know someone in power, and the genuineness. All that hard work, given her very LIMITED budget and powers. KAYA NAMAN PALA kahit walang emergency powers. All these feelings I felt for what she did, I was not able to feel because I was “loyal” to a person, to a party, and to a change I thought could be brought about by one person. We can be so blinded by the good that others do just because we want one person to do so well, even when they keep disappointing you. Hiwalayan mo na.
But just because VP Leni did this, I will not hesitate to call her out if need be. This is only proof that we need to be loyal to our country and our countrymen, and not to people in power. The things that Leni (and may I mention Vico Sotto) is doing are things that SHOULD be expected of a public servant. But because we have gotten so used to mediocrity, we accept the LEAST that our government is doing when they can do so much more.
Let’s hold our leaders accountable because the policies they push for TODAY will greatly affect our children’s future.

Businessman vs. Entrepreneur
Although often used interchangeably, the terms "businessman" and "entrepreneur" refer to distinct roles with unique goals, mindsets, and approaches. Here's a breakdown of their key differences:
Core Purpose:
- Businessman: Focuses on running and growing existing businesses. The emphasis lies in efficiency, profitability, and following proven business models.
- Entrepreneur: Seeks out new opportunities, whether by launching startups or disrupting current markets. Their core focus is innovation, taking risks, and turning ideas into successful ventures.
Approach to Risk:
- Businessman: Typically risk-averse, leaning toward stability and well-established markets. They prioritize refining and optimizing what's already in place.
- Entrepreneur: Willingly takes calculated risks to break new ground. They embrace uncertainty and are comfortable navigating through unknowns to create something original.
Innovation vs. Execution:
- Businessman: Concentrates on refining operations and executing existing strategies with precision. While improvements are welcome, the main goal is consistent, reliable growth.
- Entrepreneur: Innovation is at the heart of their work. They aim to solve problems in new ways and introduce groundbreaking products or services to the market.
Strategic Role:
- Businessman: Works within an established strategic framework, ensuring smooth execution and profitability of the business model.
- Entrepreneur: Crafts and drives their own vision, often steering industries in new directions. They play an active role in shaping the future of their ventures.
Motivational Drivers:
- Businessman: Primarily motivated by financial gains, market dominance, and business longevity.
- Entrepreneur: While profit matters, they’re often fueled by passion, impact, and the desire to bring meaningful change or fulfill a personal mission.
Growth Mindset:
- Businessman: Aims for steady, sustainable expansion using proven strategies and market insights.
- Entrepreneur: Targets fast, scalable growth, frequently pushing boundaries and responding quickly to feedback and change.
Conclusion:
Both businessmen and entrepreneurs are vital to the economy, but they operate with different mindsets. Businessmen excel in refining and managing established ventures, while entrepreneurs thrive on innovation, disruption, and creating new paths. Recognizing these differences helps us better appreciate the diverse ways individuals contribute to progress and growth.
Day 2 ng exam ngayon. May nahuli akong nangodigo. Hinayaan ko, baka pag pinagalitan ko, verbal abuse. May nangopya, hinayaan ko, baka ma trauma pag pinagalitan ko. Pupunitin ko sana yung papel kaso baka mapahiya, magka mental breakdown. Maingay, hayaan mo, baka pag sinigawan mo magka anxiety. May nagsisigawan habang exam, nakatakot sabihan baka mauwi sa child abuse. Ayoko ng magalit, baka magkaroon sila ng mental depression. I learned my lesson. Students nowadays are weak. Weakness developed by the tolerating laws which criminalized and penalized teachers who do their job as a second parent. In fact, they are no longer a second parent. They are robots. Don’t get surprise five to ten years from now, we have a demanding, entitled society. Because that’s what you started. You gave a child protection policy, but there is none for teachers, and you expect us to be their second parents? A second parent gets mad when their child misbehave. A second parent do not tolerate misconduct. A second parent scolds a child and it is supposed to be okay but you made it crime doing our job as a second parent. Hello students, hello Philippines!
Goodluck to the future!

**THE HARSH REALITY OF TENNIS PROFESSIONALS**
Right now, there are around 1,500 women fighting for a spot on the professional tennis circuit. But the brutal truth is that only the top 100 can actually make a living from it.
Why is that?
The system is built to reward the elite, the few who rise to the top. For everyone else, the price is steep.
Take the WTA 500, for example—it only takes 32 players. The WTA 1000, just 96. And the biggest of them all, the Grand Slam, barely 120.
These players don’t get in by chance—they earn their place through the sheer force of their rankings.
But for those who fall outside the top 100, the path is a grueling battle. They must scrape and claw their way through brutal qualifying rounds, hoping for just a glimpse of the glory that lies beyond.
And then there’s the cost—the endless flights across the globe, the nights spent in foreign hotels, the coach they must hire, the food they must pay for—all out of pocket. Every dollar spent, every sacrifice made, with no guarantee of success.
Because here’s the truth most don’t see: there’s no guarantee of a paycheck. The lower-ranked players, the ones fighting for survival in the qualifiers? Most lose in the first round. Some don’t even make it that far.
Imagine this: You wake up, pay for your bus ticket, pack your lunch, and go to work. But when the day ends, there’s no paycheck waiting for you. No reward for your effort. Just silence.
So, the next time you watch an unseeded player fight for her place, remember the sacrifice behind every swing of the racquet. Root for them, because they’re not just playing for glory—they’re playing for survival. Alexandra Eala from the Philippines is one of them.
"PAG NAG ASAWA TAYO LAGI NATIN TO TATANDAAN NA ANG PAG AASAWA AY,
1. KATUWANG SA BUHAY.
hindi PABIGAT sa Buhay.
2. KASAMA SA HIRAP
Hindi puro pasarap.
3. PARTNER SA PANGARAP
Hindi nangwawasak ng pangarap.
4. KASABAY mo sa PAG-UNLAD
hindi yung hinihila ka para sumadsad.
5. KINABUKASAN ANG INUUNA
Hindi yung puro barkada.
6. NAGPLAPLANO para sa pamilya
Hindi yung saka na kapag may anak na.
7. Yung PINAPASAYA ka
Hindi Pinapastress ka.
8. Yung marunong MAG MATH
Kung ang sahod ay sapat.
9. Yung Kaagapay mo sa HIRAP AT SAYA
Hindi yung naghahanap pa ng iba.
Kung may lumandi sayo ikaw na ang lumayo ikaw na ang umiwas wag mo ng kaibiganin para sa ikabubuti ng anak mo ng asawa mo at ng buong pamilya mo." ♥️
