 Don't PLAY SMALL. This was for today's Sunrise Gratitude. Whilst I didn't get to read this in the morning, I read it instead at 8:24PM, this inspired me to read this devotional first thing in the morning. Because for sure, it will set the tone of the day specially during times wherein I'd wake up feeling low on my mood. March 4 WHEN YOU WAKE UP, it’s like opening a new book. Make your life your favorite story, because it’s a lovely story that happens to be true. You are the main character and you get to decide how you would like your story to transpire. You create your reality. Do something today that sets the stage for your story to unfold. As the author of your life, you can change scenes and make anything happen. Don’t play small.

 I listened to Cece Winan's Goodness of God, Laura's Story's Blessing and Whitney Houston's Where do broken hearts go. All three songs made me tear up.... I've been thinking of things to write here, and I thought, why not write about my heartache?

 Why am I scared to answer messages right away? Why do I wait for a long time, days even months, before I actually respond? Why do I allow myself to feel guilty of not responding, when I can reply right away to messages but I choose not to do so?  WHY do I do this to myself? What is wrong with me? I'm afraid that eventually... people will stop getting to know me. I'm terrified, but I'm also not doing anything to change it. I need help.

Today was the last day of operations of my favorite restaurant, Bistro Ibarra. I will surely miss this place, not only for the good food and cosy interior but for the accommodating and always smiling crew. I truly wish them all the best, Ailyn, Rhogen, Kent, Renz, Angela and the rest of the crew.

 Have you ever felt despondent, morose, and gloomy even though things are working out just fine? And you can't figure out why? I've been undergoing like this lately, and I don't know what's happening. I'm trying to find a way to better describe this so I can identify what is exactly I am going through.  I mean, how can you solve something when you have no idea what's causing it right?

 5:24PM Today I went and had caramel frappe together with my hazelnut waffle in a nice cozy small cafe. While there, I noticed the same old man who was there too last Friday. I think he might be in his late 50's or early 60's. As I was reading "Fairydale" while having my quiet time, he asked if what I have is a tablet or an Ipad. I informed him it's a Kindle. I thought that was the end of it, however, he asked continuous questions about my Kindle that I offered to him if he'd like to take a look at it. Yah know, to check out the interface and feels what its like to turn the pages. He asked if its like a laptop, where to buy, how to transfer files and all. I think he is some sort of a writer because he asked if he could transfer his books there and at first I thought, he was pertaining to the books you would typically buy in a store. So I explained to him the different ways to transfer files and how to buy books from Amazon Kindle or the subscription itself. Bu...

What to write? What to write? Today past 8:30PM, I watched the latest Nuke's Top 5 and BizarreBub Scary episodes back to back. They're both my favorites!  I've always wondered how I got to a point wherein my favorite series or movies are scary supernatural themed ones. I devour every show I can get my hands on, in awe of stories delving in the supernatural, ghostly realms.  I remember watching, "A Nightmare Before Christmas", in the cinema back in 1993. Jack became a favorite that I even went to Disneyland just to see him in "person". Sally was the first reference drawing I did - I try to stay away from sketching or painting any famous characters, the fear from being judge as the no likeness from the original subject. Ok... so I am obviously not making any sense. I admit, I am only writing tonight simply because I don't want to lose my writing "streak".  I set out a daily habit tracker to help me be productive and not doom scroll away my da...
