Bored with Reading? That Doesn’t Make You Any Less Smart.

 Let’s talk about it — because not everyone who yawns at books is lazy or unintelligent.

Have you ever sat down with a book, tried to concentrate, and found yourself zoning out after just a few pages? Maybe you’ve even questioned yourself, thinking, “Why do I get bored so easily? Am I just not smart enough for this?”

Let me stop you right there — getting bored with reading does not mean you’re not smart.

There are many reasons why people lose interest in books, and none of them have anything to do with your intelligence.

For one, you might not be reading the right kind of book. Maybe the topic doesn’t spark your curiosity. Maybe the writing style is too slow, too complex, or just not your vibe. Not all books are for everyone, and forcing yourself to finish something you’re not enjoying can suck the fun out of reading entirely.

Another big reason? Mental fatigue and distractions. In our fast-paced, always-online world, it’s hard to switch off and settle into the slower rhythm of reading. If you’ve had a long day, or your brain is constantly bombarded with notifications, sitting still with a book can feel like a chore instead of a break.

Plus, if you’re used to content like TikTok, Instagram reels, or YouTube — where everything is fast, flashy, and instant — books can seem too slow to compete. That doesn’t mean your attention span is broken. It just means your brain is adapting to what it’s constantly exposed to.

And let’s not forget: not everyone relaxes or learns the same way. Some people unwind with books. Others find inspiration in podcasts, documentaries, conversations, or hands-on activities. That’s okay. Being smart isn’t about how much you read. It’s about how you think, how you solve problems, and how you grow from your experiences.

So if you’re struggling to enjoy reading, don’t beat yourself up.

Try different genres. Explore audiobooks. Watch thought-provoking content. Talk to people who inspire you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning or relaxing.

Smart isn’t about being a bookworm.

Smart is about being curious — in your own way.

Money Over Merit? Klarisse De Guzman and Shuvee Etrata's Eviction from PBB is a Slap in the Face #PBBCelebrityCollabEdition

Boto ng Mamamayan ❎

Boto ng Mayayaman ✅

Just when I thought Pinoy Big Brother was getting interesting again, reality hit me harder than any twist Kuya could come up with. Klarisse De Guzman and Shuvee Etrata — two of the few housemates who were actually bringing substance, talent, and authenticity into the house — have been evicted. And honestly? It feels like a betrayal not just to them, but to the entire concept of the show.

They say PBB is about "being real," "building connections," and "being competitive." But after this eviction, it’s obvious: none of that matters when you're up against fat wallets and flashy fanbases. All those values they keep preaching inside the house? Thrown out the window the moment the votes were counted — not by merit, but by money.

Let’s be honest here. Klarisse has a voice that commands respect. Shuvee had wit, charm, and sincerity. They weren’t just floating around the house for screen time. They worked, they opened up, they showed growth. And yet, that wasn’t enough. Why? Because in this game, it seems talent and effort are no match for influence and wealth.

It’s incredibly frustrating. PBB once felt like a social experiment — now it feels like a spending competition. Whoever has the richest fans, or the strongest sponsors, or the most screen time with a love team… wins. And the rest? Pack your bags.

What’s even more disheartening is the likelihood that someone who’s done nothing but flirt, pose, or act cutesy might just end up winning this whole thing. No contributions to the group, no meaningful stories, no standout moments. But hey — they have a fanbase willing to throw money behind every text vote. That’s all that matters now, right?

This isn't about being bitter over a favorite being evicted. It’s about the death of what PBB used to stand for. When you remove people who are genuinely giving their best, and reward those who are merely popular or funded, what are you really promoting?

Sadly, it’s not “the voice of the people” anymore.

It’s “the wallet of the privileged.”

Why Some Men Don’t Date VivaMax Artists (And Why That Needs to Change)

 In today’s entertainment landscape, VivaMax has emerged as a bold platform that gives fresh faces a chance to shine. But behind the glitz and daring roles lies a social reality that many rarely talk about—why some men hesitate to date VivaMax actresses. As someone who appreciates cinema and storytelling in all its forms, I felt compelled to explore this topic deeper.

🎥 MY REACTION and OPINION:

The Role vs. The Real Person

Let’s get one thing straight: an actress is not her character.

VivaMax artists often play roles that require them to be fearless, sensual, and provocative. These characters are part of a script, a story, a performance. But unfortunately, many people—especially potential partners—tend to blur the lines between fiction and reality.

Some men find it hard to separate the on-screen persona from the real woman behind it. The result? Judgment, assumptions, and ultimately—avoidance.

Jealousy and Insecurity

Dating someone in the public eye is already a challenge. Add sensual film roles into the mix, and insecurities may surface fast.

Some men admit they wouldn’t be able to handle seeing their girlfriend in intimate scenes, even if it's all just acting. This kind of thinking reveals a deeper issue: insecurity and control, rather than genuine concern or respect for boundaries.

The Heavy Weight of Cultural Conservatism

The Philippines remains a largely conservative society. In many households, "sexy" actresses are still unfairly labeled. That mindset affects relationships. A guy might like a VivaMax artist, but fears what his friends, family—or worse, his mom—might say.

So instead of standing up and saying, “She’s amazing and talented,” he ghosts the idea entirely.

The Double Standard Problem

Here’s where it gets frustrating.

Men who appear in erotic scenes or pose shirtless are often glorified. “Wow, ang lakas maka-oppa!” But when a woman does the same thing? She's branded as "easy" or "not girlfriend material."

It’s 2025. We should be past this kind of toxic double standard. Women should be allowed to take control of their careers and bodies without it being used against them in their personal lives.

Public Scrutiny and Pressure

Dating a VivaMax star also means stepping into the limelight. Not everyone is ready for that.

Whether it’s online bashers or nosy netizens, the fear of being criticized or turned into a trending topic can push a man away from dating someone in the public eye. But here’s a question worth asking: Is it the spotlight they’re afraid of, or the judgment they fear from society?

Some Women Just Don’t Have Time for BS

Let’s flip the lens: maybe it’s not that men don’t want to date VivaMax stars—maybe these women just aren’t settling.

Many VivaMax artists are career-driven, independent, and empowered. They’ve worked hard to break into the industry, and they don’t have time to babysit fragile egos or prove their worth to someone who's uncomfortable with their success.

The Bottom Line

VivaMax artists are professionals. They're storytellers. They're bold, confident, and unapologetically themselves. And like anyone else, they deserve to love and be loved without judgment.

If a man can’t look past the roles and see the woman behind the camera—the real person—then maybe he’s just not the leading man she needs.

🎥 Plagiarism or Adaptation? My Honest Reaction to the SIGHTS TVC 60s by the Department of Tourism Philippines

In today’s vlog, I took a deep dive into one of the most talked-about tourism campaigns in recent years — the SIGHTS TVC 60s, launched by the Department of Tourism (DOT) Philippines back in 2017. 🇵🇭✨ This video ad, which was meant to highlight the beauty and inclusivity of the Philippines, unfortunately sparked controversy almost immediately after its release on June 12, 2017. Many netizens pointed out its uncanny resemblance to a 2014 tourism ad from South Africa, raising an important question: Was this plagiarism or a creative adaptation? 

  🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

My Personal Take 🎬

As a content creator and proud Filipino, I watched both ads side-by-side and carefully analyzed the visual elements, storyline, music, and overall concept. There were undeniably similar moments — especially in how the twist of the blind traveler was revealed. Both ads used the same narrative style and emotional hook.

Now, McCann Erickson, the advertising agency behind the DOT’s version, denied any form of copying. But watching the two ads closely, it’s hard not to question where the line is drawn between inspiration and imitation. 🤔

Why It Matters ✍️

In a world where digital content is shared globally in seconds, originality matters more than ever — especially for something as important as promoting the Philippines to the world. A tourism campaign is not just a commercial; it’s a reflection of national identity and creative pride. That's why it's crucial to uphold ethics in advertising and respect for creative ownership.

My Conclusion ✅

After reviewing the material, I believe there could have been more effort to develop a fresh, distinct take that truly captured our unique culture and destinations. Whether or not it was deliberate copying, the ad may have unintentionally overshadowed the genuine beauty it aimed to promote. It’s a reminder for us all — creatives, marketers, and officials — to aim for authenticity in everything we share with the world.

🌊 Exploring Cape Bolinao Lighthouse 🇵🇭 | Hidden Gem in Pangasinan with Stunning Views!

I recently had the chance to visit one of the most breathtaking and underrated landmarks in Northern Luzon — Cape Bolinao Lighthouse in Patar, Pangasinan! 🏝️ If you're looking for a mix of history, nature, and scenic views, this place should definitely be on your Philippine travel bucket list. 

  🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

A Quick Look at Cape Bolinao Lighthouse 🏚️

Standing proudly at 351 feet above sea level, this historic structure is one of the tallest lighthouses in the Philippines, second only to Cape Bojeador in Ilocos Norte. Built in 1905 by a team of American, British, and Filipino engineers, the lighthouse was designed to help guide vessels navigating the West Philippine Sea. Can you imagine how many lives this beacon has protected over the decades?

Climbing its 134 steps was no joke — but the panoramic coastal view from the top made every step worth it. As I reached the upper viewing area, I was greeted with sweeping vistas of Patar Beach, the turquoise sea, and rolling hills that seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. It was the kind of view that makes you pause and appreciate the raw beauty of the Philippines. 🇵🇭

Fascinating History & Fun Facts 🕰️

Did you know that the original lighthouse equipment was sourced internationally? The lantern came all the way from France, while the third-order lighting apparatus was made in England. For decades, the lighthouse ran on kerosene until it was finally connected to the power grid by the Pangasinan Electric Cooperative in the 1980s.

Today, the Philippine Coast Guard maintains and protects the lighthouse under the Adopt-a-Lighthouse Program, ensuring that this piece of maritime history remains intact for future generations.

What’s more interesting? Nearby archaeological discoveries dating back to the 14th to 15th centuries give us a glimpse of pre-colonial life in this region. It’s like standing at the crossroads of the past and present.

Why You Should Visit 🌅

Whether you’re a history lover, an adventure seeker, or just someone who loves taking beautiful photos for the 'Gram — Cape Bolinao Lighthouse won’t disappoint. It’s quiet, uncrowded, and gives you that peaceful, far-from-the-city vibe we all crave once in a while.

📸 Tip: Visit during golden hour for the most dramatic lighting and fewer tourists. Trust me, your camera roll will thank you!

Travel Tips Before You Go ✨

• 📍 Location: Patar, Bolinao, Pangasinan
• 🚗 Best reached by private vehicle or van rental from Manila (~5-6 hours drive)
• 🕰️ Open to the public during the day; no entrance fee as of this writing
• 👟 Wear comfy shoes for the climb
• 🧴 Bring sunscreen and water (it can get hot!)

This trip to Cape Bolinao Lighthouse truly reminded me why I love slow, meaningful travel. It’s not always about fancy resorts or popular spots — sometimes, the real magic lies in these quiet, historic corners of the Philippines.

🐶 My Life as a FurDaddy – Dealing with American Bully Skin Problems 😢

Being a FurDaddy is one of the greatest joys of my life, but it also comes with heart-wrenching challenges — and today, I’m sharing one of the toughest experiences I've faced with my beloved American Bully, Escobar.

In this very personal blog post (and vlog linked below), I’ll talk about Escobar’s battle with Atopic Dermatitis, a common but serious skin condition in short-coated breeds like American Bullies. If you’re a pet parent, especially to a Bully breed, this story might just save your furbaby's life too. 🐾

 💔 🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

Escobar’s Skin Problem: Our Painful Journey

It all started when I noticed Escobar constantly scratching himself — to the point where his skin became red, irritated, and flaky. 😣 At first, I thought it was just regular itching, but it got worse over time. Seeing my furbaby suffer was absolutely heartbreaking.

We immediately sought help from a trusted veterinarian, and after several consultations, Escobar was diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis. This condition is sadly very common among American Bullies, French Bulldogs, Pitbulls, and other short-haired breeds. The vet explained that environmental allergens, food, and even grooming products could trigger it.

How We Managed Atopic Dermatitis

Managing Escobar’s condition wasn’t easy, but giving up was never an option. Here's what helped us:

• Veterinary Consultation: Always the first step! Never self-medicate your dog.
• Prescribed Medications: Anti-inflammatory medicines and medicated shampoos.
• Diet Adjustment: Avoiding possible food allergens.
• Controlled Environment: Limiting his exposure to dirt, dust, and allergens.
• Love and Patience: Lots of it. 💖

It took time, consistent treatment, and adjustments to our daily routine, but slowly, Escobar’s skin started improving.

A Personal Update: 4 Years Later

After four years of being a dedicated FurDaddy, I made an important discovery about Escobar’s allergies. 🚨

Initially, I tried natural remedies like Madre de Cacao soap and coconut oil, but surprisingly, these caused more irritation for him. 😔

Through a lot of trial and error, I found the perfect solution:

Bearing Dog Shampoo! 🛁

• Bearing Shampoo is specially formulated for dogs.
• It kills fleas and ticks.
• It has a long-lasting, fresh scent.
• It acts as a preventive against parasites.

I now bathe Escobar once a week using Bearing Shampoo, and I make sure he doesn't roam outside randomly. Since then, his skin has been healthy — no wounds, no redness, and no flare-ups! 🙌

Tips for American Bully Owners Dealing with Skin Problems

If you’re a fellow pawrent to an American Bully or a similar breed, here are some important reminders:

• Consult a Veterinarian first for proper diagnosis.
• Be cautious with home remedies — what works for others may not work for your dog.
• Use trusted grooming products like Bearing Dog Shampoo.
• Maintain a consistent bathing schedule (not too frequent to avoid drying the skin).
• Keep their environment clean and allergen-free.
• Monitor their diet for any food triggers.
• Love and patience are your best medicines. ?❤️

NABUNGI SI ESCOBAR! 😭 My Life with an American Bully Puppy | Teething Tips & Real Talk

My Life with an American Bully Puppy | Teething Tips & Real Talk 

Today was one of those moments I’ll never forget as a fur-parent—Escobar just lost his baby tooth! 🦷😭 Yep, my American Bully pup officially hit another milestone… nabungi na si Escobar! And as simple as it may seem, it honestly hit me with a mix of emotions—joy, awe, and a tiny bit of “my baby is growing up too fast” feels.

Let me tell you all about it…

    🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

Watching My Bully Puppy Grow: One Tooth at a Time 🐶

If you’ve been following our journey, you already know that Escobar is more than just a pet—he’s my emotional support dog and daily dose of joy here in my little #MicroLivingPH setup. Life in a small city condo has its limitations, but raising an American Bully like Escobar in it? It’s been surprisingly beautiful.

This week, while he was sound asleep (snoring softly, of course 😅), I noticed something odd—one of his baby teeth was loose. And guess what? With a gentle tug, it came right off. He didn’t even wake up! I was shocked but also amazed. It was such a tender moment, and I couldn’t believe how calm he was.

Why Do Puppies Lose Their Teeth?

Just like human babies, puppies go through a teething phase. Around 3 to 6 months old, they start losing their baby teeth to make way for their permanent adult teeth. This phase can be a bit uncomfortable for them, which is why teething toys are a lifesaver (for both pup and furniture 😅).

For American Bullies—who have powerful jaws—this stage is crucial. Their adult teeth will help define their bite and chewing strength. Making sure they have safe, durable teething toys can prevent them from chewing random things and soothe their gums.

My Teething Tips for Bully Puppies:

Here’s what helped Escobar (and saved my hands from becoming chew toys):

✅ Soft Rubber Chew Toys – Perfect for his tender gums

✅ Frozen Treats – Cold helps numb the discomfort

✅ Lots of Patience and Praise – Celebrate even the small milestones

✅ Gentle Tooth Removal (if needed) – Only if it's already loose and painless

Real Talk: Raising a Bully in the City 🏙️

A lot of people ask me if it’s practical to raise an American Bully in a condo unit. My answer? Absolutely, with love and routine. Escobar may be stocky and strong, but he’s gentle, clingy, and perfectly content with our daily walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions on the couch.

Documenting moments like this tooth incident reminds me how much I’ve grown too—not just as a pet owner, but as a human learning patience, responsibility, and unconditional love.

Escobar losing a tooth might seem like a small thing, but it’s a big deal for me. These moments are fleeting and precious. Soon he’ll be full-grown, with a strong adult bite and an even stronger bond with me. And I’ll always remember this stage—when he was still my little “bunso,” discovering the world one tooth at a time.

From Laughter to Realization: A Gay Man’s Reaction to a Misgendering Video

 While casually scrolling through my FYP on social media, I stumbled upon a short vertical video that caught my attention. It was lighthearted and comical — a satirical take on a transwoman being misgendered here in the Philippines. I admit, it made me laugh. The humor was entertaining, the delivery was fun, and at first glance, it felt like just another viral skit.

But as the video replayed in my head, something shifted.

Though I'm a gay man and not a trans person myself, I started to feel uneasy. That seemingly harmless moment of laughter led to a quiet reflection. I realized that for someone else, that kind of scenario might not be funny — it might be hurtful, triggering, or simply exhausting.

There was a time when I, too, misunderstood transgenderism. I didn’t grasp the depth of what it meant to be misgendered, nor did I fully understand how important it is to affirm someone's identity. It wasn't until I became close to a few trans friends that I truly opened my mind. Their stories, their struggles, and their quiet strength helped me unlearn biases and grow a deeper sense of empathy.

This experience reminded me how powerful and complicated humor can be. What makes some of us laugh might also make others feel invisible. And as members of the LGBTQ+ community, we have a responsibility not only to support each other but to continuously educate ourselves — even when it’s uncomfortable.

So today, I’m thankful for that random video. It entertained me, yes, but more importantly, it challenged me. It reminded me that growth often begins where laughter ends.

🎄 PARANG SHOWBIZ NA ANG YOUTUBE?

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately—Is YouTube becoming like showbiz? 🤔 I’ve been reflecting on the ever-evolving world of YouTube, especially after seeing a tweet from one of my fellow YouTubers, Say Tioco. Her tweet made me realize just how much the platform has changed over the years and how it now feels almost like an entertainment industry of its own.

The Changing Face of YouTube 🎥

When we first started watching YouTube, it felt like a place for casual creators, everyday people sharing their lives, opinions, and talents. But now? It’s a whole different ballgame. With massive brands, influencers, and even celebrities hopping onto YouTube, it’s starting to feel a lot more like showbiz than a simple content-sharing platform.

From highly produced videos to sponsored content and brand collaborations, YouTube has evolved into a competitive space, and let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like you have to work hard for that spotlight. 🏆

What Does This Mean for New Creators?

If you’re thinking of jumping into YouTube or you’re a YouTuber already, it’s important to understand how the platform works today. Yes, it’s still an awesome place to share content, but there’s no denying that it’s now a mix of personal branding, influencer culture, and entertainment. This means you need to step up your game and bring something unique if you want to get noticed. 📈

My Thoughts

I’ve been on this platform for a while, and I’ve seen it change dramatically. At times, I feel the pressure to keep up with trends or produce content that aligns with what’s popular. But at the end of the day, I remind myself that YouTube is still a place for genuine connections and sharing content I love.

If you’re a creator or someone looking to start a channel, don’t get discouraged by the showbiz-like vibe of YouTube. Stay true to yourself, be consistent, and enjoy the process. After all, it’s about creating and sharing what you’re passionate about! 😊

Watch my video on this topic, where I dive deeper into this new world of YouTube and what it means for us creators! Don’t forget to leave a comment and share your thoughts on this change.

🎄 FIRST TIME IN BAGUIO CITY! 🚌 #XmasVlog | Travel Vlog Adventure 2019 🌲❄️

Better late than never! I’m finally sharing my XmasVlog, and it’s all about my FIRST TIME in Baguio City—what an unforgettable experience it was! ❤️ Although this travel vlog may be a little overdue, I’m so excited to take you on this journey through the cool mountain air, stunning views, and unique experiences that made my time in Baguio truly special.

Our Journey to Baguio 🚍

The adventure began with a bus ride from Manila to Baguio, and let me tell you, the excitement was real! The long ride was totally worth it as we approached the Summer Capital of the Philippines, surrounded by lush green mountains and cool, crisp air. It’s always fun to travel by bus to Baguio because you get to experience the scenery changing as you make your way up the mountain roads. 🚞

When we finally arrived, I couldn’t wait to check out the city and breathe in that fresh mountain air that makes Baguio so famous. The weather in Baguio is something you have to experience firsthand—it’s always refreshing, especially if you’re used to the hot, humid air of Manila. 🌬️
