Dahican

Sharing with you few snaps of one of my favorite beaches in the Philippines: Dahican beach in Mati, Davao Oriental. No filter needed for this natural beauty actually.

LOL. Needless to say, it’s my faaaave! ❤

Actually, I recorded an unboxing video of my new notebook but haven’t gotten around to editing it yet. I’m thinking perhaps I’ll just do a flip-through of my bullet journal when it’s all filled up! In my previous blog post, I shared that a bullet journal system works best for me because it lets me write freely and carelessly! I never thought I’d enjoy bullet journal as much as I do now. It somehow motivates me to get my shit together. I’m hoping I will be more consistent with it this year since the Rhodia I got is smaller and lighter to…

Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you…

Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you. Don’t try to impress people who aren’t worth it. Don’t try to win people over who aren’t worth it. Focus on yourself, and focus on the people who are really awesome and who love you. Don’t hang out with people who make you feel like shit.
