You do you

So recently as I have been going through this thing people usually refer to as “adulting”, I realized that I didn’t know a lot of things so I thought I’d share my experiences regarding “adulting” to people who may stumble upon this post and the next posts. These are practical things such as:

1. Passport Renewal with DFA

2. Application for Australian Visa (Pls do not get one through a travel agency, I can help you through the APPLICATION)

3. Securing your NBI Clearance

4. Applying for a job and building your resume

5. Makeup101 and product recommendations (affordable and worth your money)

6. Making the most of your undergraduate degree (FYI, I was a BS Management major in Ateneo de Manila University. To clear things, this is probably not for those who’ve graduated but I’d like to share some thoughts to those who have yet to graduate. More on this in a future post but try not to make QPI the factor for taking a class you’re thinking of enlisting to.)

7. Work life in general (Being in Makati but living in QC)

8. How to be smart about your money (Not going to be talking about how to invest and all, but more on simpler things as to what you should really be doing with your salary)

Everything from 1-4 is actually REALLY REALLY SIMPLE.

Just to share some things I have yet to figure out:

1. Securing my Universal ID (covers SSS, Pag Ibig, etc.)

So I decided I'll post my nail polish color for every week for personal reasons. Just really posting it because I find joy in looking back at them for some odd and unknown reason hehehehe 

So for the past 2 months, I've been reminded of something I tried very hard to move past from. The past summer vacation started badly but as it passed it actually became more and more shall I say, tolerable. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I guess that's better than how the past year has been for me. But the past two months, I could say were emotionally exhausting but not as time consuming as the bargaining for the past months. 

The past 2 months are proofs that I've actually grown stronger. I can finally say that I am genuinely happy after all those months of emotionally killing myself. It feels so great to say (type) that after months of thinking I'd never get here. 

What about goodbyes do I hate? It's the feeling that I'm leaving my comfort zone not knowing whether there are good or bad things to come but hoping that the good will always outweigh the bad. But I now know for sure that goodbye is the option I should take. I'm ready to say goodbye to the past and finally move on so I can welcome the great things that are yet to happen, the wonderful experiences that are set aside for me, and all the new memories I would have. I guess what's hard for me is that a year ago I never would have thought my life would be like it is now and that I wouldn't be wanting to have my life the way it was before. Change is always frightening for me, even with my daily meals mind you, but as it turns out change is always good for me, for everybody in fact.

So Dear Old Love, the past years were great, I wouldn't change anything about those years though it wasn't always great, but now it's time to put you where you belong in my life, the past. I sincerely wish you happiness and I can always be here to fulfill my promises to be a great friend forever.

I've forgiven everyone who needs to be forgiven and I've already put a halt to all the uncertainties in my life. I'm ready.
