Oops! Take a break!

How do you take a break?

why do you need a break? It is necessary?

Yes! You need a break. After all the nerve wrecking, stress and burnout that your experience. Why not take a break? It is not bad to take a break, even for a while.

Before everything else, I want to feature a movie that is entitled Zombie 100. It is originally an anime series and had its live adaptation. Both versions are available in Netflix. I just watched its live adaptation in Netflix last night. The movie highlights Tendo and his friends accomplishing their bucket list in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. The main character, Tendo, hasn’t took a break in ages ever since he got hired from work. (Though in Japan, they tend to overwork.) He has this energy, drive and determination to his job at his first day and later on loses this energy as he got tired, plus the toxic environment he needs to endure every day.

What do I realize after watching this, this movie isn’t about the zombies, It is about living your life and doing the things you want before it is too late. It is not necessary to take a break all the time or just fully live the life to the fullest. We still need to work to sustain ourselves. Taking a break isn’t bad right? Even short breaks will do.

Stress, burnout, getting tired, we cannot escape that. Having breaks will help you rest, will let your recharge all the energy that you have lost and be ready for the following days. Promise It works. (It depends upon the situation, when things got worst or too toxic, it is not worth it. Leave. Save yourself.)

Let’s go back in taking breaks.

People have their own ways of taking their breaks. They travel, they eat or they simply stay in their house and get that sleep.

How do I take a break?

For someone who does not travel a lot. Most of the time, my breaks are at home. I prefer to sleep or just snuck at my bed, read something or binge watch at Netflix.  I’ll do journaling, wherein I will write my thoughts, how my days gone through, my rants, my goals, anything that I can journal. I will do something that I like such as creating contents (writing something), cooking, or trying other hobbies. Those activities are my stress reliever. I feel happy when I was able to create something, it’s relaxation for me. Sometimes do travel when there’s a chance, I travel with friends, colleagues and family.

See? There are many ways to take a break. Its either long break and short breaks. As long as you take it. Rest and Relax for a while. What matters is you still keep forward and do your best.

Don’t wait a zombie apocalypse to take your break.

Let go

Let go

Let go all the things you didn’t need and value the more important things

Let go all your rants and do something

Let go all of the negativities and be positive

Let go all the pain and forgive.

Let go all the sadness and be happy.

Let go the past and hold on to your present and future.

We tend to let go, but sometimes we are afraid and we just choose to hold on.

Everything has its sentimental value to us.

We are afraid to go out in out comfort zone  and to take risk.

It is hard to let go.

Yes. It is hard, but it is all worth it in the end

Letting go is not just the end. It means we are opening a new chapter of our life.

Declutter

These days, I was decluttering some old photos on my phone and some files in my laptop because there is small space left in my devices. I deleted some stolen shots I did, some screenshots, some files that I will not use anymore. While doing this, I was looking at the old pictures on my phone that contains memories, such as our bonding, places that I traveled, picture of my favorite scene in the book, screenshots, picture of someone, my writings, my old files and outputs. It contains happy memories, sometimes my struggles.

 I didn’t choose to delete some of it because it has sentimental value for me, for example my first time, our family pictures, my friends picture, a remembrance of something. Which it is so hard for me to let go of it.

As of now I am still continuing decluttering my phone and my laptop so there will be a lot space for more pictures and videos that I’ll capture and new files to save on. This is so satisfying because I determined which I needed or not, which matters or not, which I need to let go so there will be space for something new. Also it will make my devices organized and to operate faster.

Sometimes we need to let go, so we can open for new things, new adventures, new learnings, new people that we will encounter. We need to let go because we need to grow, we need to go out to our comfort zone. We need to take risk for something new. Sometimes it will make our life better as we always move forward in life.

Because Why Not!

In how many times did I tell I should be consistent. I should always get myself on track. I always wanted to do something but I always end up nothing. I always tend to start without finishing anything.

                Sometimes, I just wanted to rest from work, sometimes I am not in the mood to do write. I even don’t know how to start again.

                We are not required to go regularly at school since it is vacation. So I tried to grab my journal and pen to start writing. At first, it is so hard to think a single concept, later on ideas kept flowing and I do already have the urge to write again, to start.

                Maybe because I am already done with some of my tasks at school and I can finally focus on my hobbies. I do have a lot to spare times and be inspired to do something.

                Anyways I will still keep on writing no matter how inconsistent I am.

                I am always being here, attempting to start and hopefully able to finish, be consistent and be on track again.

Because why not!

Why not start again.

It’s ok

It’s ok to be tired

It’s ok to fail

It’s ok to make mistake

It’s ok if you didn’t cope up

It’s ok not to be fine

It’s ok to be sad.

It’s ok to get angry

It’s ok to give up

It’s ok to stop

It’s ok to let go

It’s ok

It’s ok because no matter how many times you started have, you are still trying. .No matter how hard life is. You still keep on going

It’s ok because no matter mad you are, you still choose to smile, you still choose to forgive

It’s ok because you are still there fighting!

When is the best time to find love?

Honestly that is also a question for me.

They say that there is no such perfect time for love, but there is always a right time for it. Which I wonder, when will I wait for it.

Many are already asking me when will I have a boyfriend or when will I get married? I always say not yet, because there is no one. I admit I got pressured when they ask me or feel envious whenever I saw some of my friends having their own partners. Whenever I felt that way, I will just think that the right one will come soon.

I am always wondering; why did others can easily find it. They can easily pick up a new partner, even after a break up. Why is it hard for me?

When will I have to wait? When is the right time?

Others say, I should find it, go interact with someone or even in dating apps. I should start moving before it’s too late. Some says I should adjust my expectations but for me, I don’t like to settle for less and I just have simple expectations when looking for someone.

I do have crush but later on my friends says I am too old for that! Lol

Back to the topic, when is the best time to find love?

There is no certain answer, some are lucky enough to find it right away, some may find it too soon. It is hard to tell, even from defining love itself.

I just hope that when the right time comes, I hope it is worth it.

Why do you give?

Is it because you are looking for an exchange? Is it because you want to show off? Is it because you genuinely like to give.

We have lots of reasons to give. It is our choice why? Sometimes we count what we give, based on thoughts, or in a material way whether it is extravagant or simple. In our softer side, we give because we like to give. We we have lots of things to share. I just hope you don,t just boast it around. Or compare what you can give to others. Giving isn’t flexing.

We give because we want too from our heart. Not just to show off. We give because we can and we are capable

Your Inner Childhood

Your Inner Childhood.

I am so glad that I finally bought a thousand piece puzzle.

I love puzzles since I was a kid, I like to have one but I was not able to buy it because I need to prioritize what is needed and I don’t know where to buy it since it is not available in my place. I rather bought school stuffs and other things that I need rather than I want.

Anyways as I enter adulthood, I am lucky enough to find jobs for me and be able to provide for myself and family. Earning my own money makes me to buy a lot of things that my inner childhood craves, such as this puzzle. At all times I was not able to save because of this. (Remember that saving money is important and I am practicing it right now little by little.)

There is no such easy work or tasks, we face our own struggles. Whether you love your work or not, it is still able to provide for you. Who knows that this is just your stepping stone to pursue what you really want.

What is important is that we learn how to appreciate and celebrate little victories that we have. (Trust me it feels way better. )

Today, I can say that my Inner childhood is happy and somehow satisfied.

After 3 hours I was able to complete this one. Bought this puzzle at shoppee

Stepping Stone

These past few months, I just found out my love for writing. It is my comfort habit and stress reliever. Writing helps me to release my thoughts and makes me more creative. Most of all can see myself writing for life.

I am always busy, I did a lot of preparations in teaching and my other obligations. It is hard for me to be constantly updating my stories in Wattpad and my blog. Sometimes it took me months to update and a year to finish a story. I also experience writer’s block at all times, I can’t even start a concept.

After all, I still find my comfort in writing.

I am a teacher and I want to be a writer. It is not didn’t love my chosen profession but my hearts seeks to write.  I really love to do it, even in simply writing in journals. Right now, I admit that it is hard for me to create, even though I still find time. Since writing is my great stress reliever.

Obviously, things are way different the way we wanted to be. Sometimes destiny leads to the other track. Not because it is not meant to be, but it is another opportunity given to us to explore our capabilities and a stepping stone towards our dream. Some are lucky to be able to pursue what they really love.

It is frustrating to lose out passion, love, patience and creativity. You know the most important thing is  we still go back, and keep track on what we have started in our dreams and aspirations.

It is a struggle?

Teaching is a struggle, it is hard to discipline learners, it is hard to cater all the learners, it is hard to think how to reach out to them. To think of different strategies to help them.

In reality, being a teacher is a commitment, we commit in everything especially in giving quality education. We work at all times, even at home, and weekends. It is tiring to comply with everything. We sacrifice everything, our own times, personal expenses and efforts.

We can be tired, but we can rest, we can unwind.

We can still keep moving for the learners, seeing them improve and seeing them to learn something inspires us to make our pedagogy better. We know that we already make a change to the children. We are in the right track in teaching

A good teacher always strives to be a good educator.

A good teacher always prioritizes learners’ welfare.
