Is Dental Brace Made Intentionally For Fashion?

Advertisement by Google:

It has been a year since I started the process of having a dental brace. My first and initial reason was to be tagged as “SOSHAL” since that’s what the majority says – when you’re wearing braces, somewhat you’re capable of purchasing one as the price is quite Imeldific.

I went to a clinic situated along Boni Avenue; Mandaluyong City named Oral Wellness Dental Clinic. Dr. Chua – the dentist advised me that there are crowded teeth on the lower part and on my upper part, there is a misalignment of the two front teeth. “Nahalata ko” (I noticed) it every time I looked at it in the mirror.  In addition to that, I really have poor oral hygiene since I am too busy to allocate enough time to clean my teeth after I grabbed a bite. To sum it up, I am qualified to undergo such a procedure given that there is really needs to be corrected.

On my first week of wearing the brace, it was so tight, it was painful, it was uncomfortable and truly, I lost my appetite. So, therefore, it was a sacrifice. “Tiis Ganda”!

Dr. Chua said, “Braces is not for fashion, it is for medical purposes.”

“There are patients that after we installed the brackets, they will no longer come back assuming that it is okay to wear it for a long span of time - for fashion reason. “He added.

“We only limit the patients of wearing braces up to two years, and if not, there is something wrong with the procedures and we need to do something about it.”

“Some patients buy their own brackets and just watch DIY videos online. It is a big NO, since there is an appropriate measure in every tooth. Patronizing this approach may lead them to a serious case on the later part”

Indeed, my adherence to visiting my dentist for the adjustment is very strict. I made sure to go back to the clinic regularly so the Doctor can double-check if there is a movement of my teeth.  Having a brace is not a joke, aside from the expenses, allotting time for the visit; I also experienced numerous mouth sores.  That pain is will not justify for you to get a brace for fashion only.



October 23, 2017, I became free. Dr. Chua removed my braces as the result was very fast and successful. I got now a perfect smile and bite. However, I have two missing molars on upper part and one on my lower part – both missing teeth – I asked the dentist what are my options.

Watch the video below as Dr. Mike Chua explained the various options whenever I’m ready to avail the dentures He discussed it...

October 28, 2017. I went back to the clinic to pick up my retainer. A retainer is requisite and essential to wear after the removal of the braces to retain the corrected alignment of the teeth. It will take another year or so – for you to wear it regularly.

Meanwhile, do you still remember when I published a blog about my experience towards Oral Wellness Dental Clinic? I wrote it from my heart and from what I personally experienced without sugar-coating. I didn’t know that it became an avenue for my readers to consider visiting this clinic. I just know it when Dr. Chua personally told me and he gave thanks to me for the positive feedback.

“My patients told me that they discovered the clinic through your blog.” Dr. Chua said.

“You deserved it Doc. Indeed, my readers also deserve to know and to experience what I personally experienced” I answered.

Surprisingly, Dr. Chua gave me the retainer for free and they even included the dentures for free.

“I am giving this for free as you blogged us, you don’t need to do something for us in return. This is an early Christmas gift to you. We read your article and it was genuine “.

Dance Like Nobody is Watching.

I just want to post this video of mine to start our Monday with a massive and great vibes. This video was recorded backstage during my Tina Turner lip-synch battle. I was amazed of my transformation and I just want to watch myself dancing with that looks.

#PubertyChallenge is not Just a Challenge, It has a Deeper Impact.

Advertisement by Google:

Taking a glance at your old pictures of your childhood may be the best subject of laughter with your friends; those awkward pictures wherein you look so much different and awful than today. Some of us, we even tend to hide and never show those pictures to anybody assuming that it will just embarrass us.

Puberty may be the toughest stage –e.g. rapid development of your physical attributes, a dramatic increase of hormones, heavy loads both in school and at home, and personal problems. Indeed, it is a stage of “Make or Break”, are you gonna make it?

Recently, due to the rise of social media in which we can easily share our stories online, #PUBERTYChallenge became trending among netizens. This is a challenge that online people are encouraged to post their before and after photos highlighting their adolescence stage versus their current pictures.  Truly, it was a challenge since it is extremely difficult to brag your most unpleasant photos online and show how you became visually pleasant as time goes.

Honestly, #PubertyChallenge means a lot to me. It is a way for me to look back on my past, how I started to dream and how I did the move to reach those things that I dreamt about. And now, I am already 30 years old and when I look at those old pictures, I can see Jonathan Orbuda – who used to strive. It reminds me that I need to be grateful for what I have and who I am today.

Undeniably, we always complain about the difficulties we’re currently experiencing, to the point that we forgot to remember those days we started to build our dreams.  We focus on the negative sides saying “Ang Hirap naman ng Buhay” but if you take a look at your old pictures; can you still evaluate yourself today? Where are you at today in comparison to your old pictures? Are you really living with difficulties today or you’re just not being grateful? Try to take a look at your old pictures and compare it with your pictures today – do you see any growth and development? If none, then I must say, you have the right to complain and not to be grateful.

Last week, I created the #PubertyChallenge Contest. Below are the photos of who took the #PubertyChallenge.

The winner is ANA RICA CUNANAN– she will receive a limited Youtube Sunglasses from “I Love Tansyong TV”

Thanks to all who joined.

Bringing Back The College Day Memoirs + Meet Me Halfway Cover Song.

Advertisement by Google:

College life is not easy in comparison to High School life. Aside from the numerous projects and expenses, there are also personal problems which may arise unexpectedly and simultaneously. There are moments that we’re about to give up.

Personally, my college days were not that easy but good thing I was able to handle it gracefully. Perhaps, it’s because I have this strong passion and impetuous of reaching my dreams- to finish my degree. It was undeniably tough “YES, IT WAS!”  But despite of those stressful experiences and mind-breaking challenges, I never ever forget how to have fun since personally I really love fun activities.  Since I don’t have enough money during that time to support (dreamed) expensive fun – e.g. going to malls, travel, bar. Then, I spent most of my spare time with my classmates singing at some Karaoke establishments around the University’s vicinity – University of Rizal System, Binangonan Campus.

In fact, right after our lunch, one of my classmates recorded this video while I was singing my favourite song – Meet Me Halfway.  I recovered this video in my old Youtube Channel (which I already deleted because I have my new one), then downloaded, and edited to become more visually pleasant.

Watch the video below.

Good thing, I was able to save a copy of this video for the reason that by watching this – I am able to remember my college days and how it was challenging. I am able to look back where I came from – “My Humble Beginning when I was a dreamer”.  With those entire fracas – I’m very thankful because without those, I maybe weak these days.

Thank you so much for watching and see you in my next blog.

Upclose and Personal with #BiyaheNiJuan Backpackers Club in Bolinao, Pangasinan .

It is very beneficial to travel with friends, office-mates or even with a group of random backpackers. This is due to the fact – the more participants, the cheaper expenses will be. This is the main goal of Biyahe Ni Juan, a backpacker club that highlights of travelling in a shoestring budget. In addition, it is also advisable to travel once in a while and escape the stress from your work and the lifestyle in the urban zone.

BiyaheNiJuan is a recreational-centric group joined by numerous BPO workers with same goals. Their goal is to take a trip the cheapest way possible and to allocate a spare time for each member to travel – as much as possible when schedule permits.

“It is important that you have to spend time for yourself, and by traveling – it can help you recharge and become more positive when you go back to your work” Rambo said, one of the proponents of BiyaheNiJuan.

“In BiyaheNiJuan, we are advocating and persuading BPO Workers and alike that traveling doesn’t need to be expensive” he added.

I joined this lifestyle club because this group is truly inline to what I loved the most – to travel.  The first travel destination was Bolinao, Pangasinan.

Get Someone to Pay the Bill – My Workmate said.

Together with my friends and/or workmates, from our workplace, we headed towards Ortigas , Pasig city – a location where beers are still being offered during daytime, specially to customers who are night crawlers. Yeah, undeniably, if you’re working at night – it is quite difficult to look for an open bar during daytime; but within the heart of Ortigas, you can find it.

Meanwhile, inside the car and on our way to the said bar, we talked a random topic – what to do when you get fired from your job?

🍽 Best Bite in Bacolod – The Authentic Bacolod Inasal.

Advertisement by Google:

Aside from its colourful Maskara festival and must-visit tourist spots, Bacolod city is popular for its Bacolod Inasal. In fact, there are numerous restaurants located around the country claiming to have an authentic Bacolod Inasal as part of their menu. But eating Bacolod Inasal,  that is being bought and eaten right in the vicinity of Bacolod City gives such feeling of genuineness.

Bacolod Inasal has a great taste that will surely make you consider of tasting once you visit this place. It has a tender and juicy flavour which is perfect partner for rice. I would also advise you to try this as pulutan with cold beer. Without a doubt, Bacolod Inasal can be eaten without a sauce because of its savoury flavour.

Inasal is a Visayan word “asal” which means to grill or roast. Inasal means roasted or grilled which is commonly used as Inasal Baboy and Manok or simply Lechon.  Inasal varies in terms of taste depending in the origin of the recipe. With Bacolod Inasal, it has distinctive taste that you can easily distinguish when you eat a roasted chicken that are coming from different location. I must say that whoever created the secret recipe of Bacolod Inasal – he/she made

The Best Foundation of Becoming a Content Creator is Knowledge.

Advertisement by Google:

For you to become an expert, you have to start from basic. That’s what I did when I attended my first ever Youtube Workshop. I’ve been doing several videos for quite sometimes without considering the small details that might affect negatively towards the quality of my creation. By participating such workshop – I’m now meticulous when it comes to some details that needs to be done and what not.

The workshop highlights the basic camera lighting and production. The topic is very helpful especially to youtubers like who has challenges – e.g. not having time, production equipment is too expensive, general production knowledge, not sure which equipment to buy and which software to use.

During the workshop, I met a lot of content creators like Mikey Bustos and Luigi Pacheco. In addition, it was also my first time to handle an expensive camera that is mostly being used in a large film making. Seeing such thing made me more enthusiastic on achieving my dream.

The Feeling of Being Recognized and Valued.

Advertisement by Google:

Nothing is powerful than a positive reinforcement. Indeed, being recognized and valued as an individual is such a wonderful mania that you can give to a person. It will truly give him/her a motivation to keep going, no matter what.

As a Youtube content creator, I must admit that there are times that I’m considering of giving up my channel and not to produce any content anymore. There’s only one reason –scarcity of resources.

To upload a video, there are lots of things happened behind it. It takes a full effort before having quality content. However, if I’m gonna give up on this; I’ll have no outlet anymore to showcase my artistry. My passion of sharing my content is very achievable when I’ll go online .Indeed; Youtube platform has the capacity to do it for me.

As a youtuber, I am a “ONE MAN-TEAM” – I do my script, concept, lights, filming, editing and uploading the final output. No wonder, a small youtuber like me might reach to the point of giving up. And to avoid that eminence, you need a support system that will help you to bring back the heat of your passion. Moreover, I had hard time looking for a support group that will rescue me as my friends that surround me can’t even understand the concept of “YOUTUBING”. They all just watch Youtube but never in their minds had they asked how the life of a youtuber looks like- behind the camera.

Good thing, Youtube Philippines values their creator and they brought the Youtube SPACE here in PH. Fortunately, I got a slot to film inside the said SPACE. At first, I thought that filming in Youtube Space Manila is a “One Man-Team” style but I was surprised because I was given my own production team – light men, cameraman and cinematographer – exclusively for my slot. I even borrowed money from my friend to buy a new DSLR camera just for that event; yet without my awareness, there were cameras in the studio that can be use for free. Foods are available all day long for all the people inside the space as well.


Without a doubt, I felt being valued that time. Since I was a kid, I’ve been dreaming of doing such fad –hearing the queue of “Lights! Camera! Action!”. And I can’t still imagine that I did it with the help of Youtube.  That wasn’t just the content that we successfully created matters the most, but it was the experience of meeting again with my long-time dance partner after six years and executing our dance move in front of the camera with a dramatic lights facing towards us. It was undeniably a glorifying bliss for a dreamer like me.

Personally, I would like to give thanks to Youtube Space MNL for bringing back the feeling of heat towards your Pinoy Creators’ passion. Truly, it affects me positively -to hold tight on what I dreamt about.

The Taste of Mango Flavoured Pizza in Province of Guimaras.

Advertisement by Google:

When I visited the province of Guimaras , a lot of residents here advised me to try their pride – the sweetest mango in the whole world ; it can only be found in this province and they export it in various countries.  I’ve heard it a lot; not just hearsay but I read numerous travel blogs that are highlighting this famous mango. But “nothing-to-few” online writers wrote about this Mango Flavoured Pizza; indeed, it can only be found as well in this province.

Honestly, I just discovered it when I personally get there. It can be bought at the store named “The Pitstop Restaurant, ” which is located along the Guimaras Circumferencial Road of the municipality of Jordan. It is my first time to hear, see and taste such innovative pizza.


Obviously, since mango is the primary product of the province. Entrepreneurs took advantage of the abundance of such fruit; they innovate the usual pizza into a mango-flavored pizza that when you heard it – it will trigger your curiosity of buying and get the answer of “HOW   DOES IT TASTE LIKE?”



Personally, nothing spectacular when it comes to the crust. The crust is tender especially if it is still hot. But when it comes to the topping which is mango itself, I rather preferred eating the mango separately as a fruit or as a shake rather than eating it on the top of pizza crust. I can taste the sourness from it, which is obviously normal for a mango when it went through a process of cooking. Unlike with the process of “Mango Jam”, though it undergone with the heat; sugar is added as part of the process to maintain the sweetness.


Honestly, I don’t like mango on the crust. I rather chose mango shake with pizza instead. But that was just my preference because my friends enjoyed the Guimaras Pizza. In fact, they bought a lot as a pasalubong way back home. Well. It’s a matter of preference. But I strongly suggest considering it buying and personally taste it.

If you already taste it, please leave your comments below. Maybe I just have a weird taste bud and didn’t enjoy the pizza.

📶 [Tech Review] MyPhone Digital TV Dongle Isn’t Working on My Samsung A5 – Is It Worth It?

If you’re interested in turning your smartphone into a digital TV, the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle might have caught your attention. This small, affordable accessory—priced at just PHP 499—claims to give you digital TV on your phone without the need for internet or data connection. In this review, we’ll go over my recent experience testing this dongle on my Samsung Galaxy A5 and see if it’s worth buying for your own device. 

  🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

What is the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle?

The MyPhone Digital TV Dongle is a compact device that plugs into your smartphone’s micro-USB or Type-C port, allowing you to watch digital TV broadcasts directly on your phone. It’s designed to work with MyPhone devices but promises compatibility with many other Android smartphones that support OTG (On-The-Go) connections. With no need for WiFi, this dongle seems like an ideal solution for affordable, on-the-go entertainment.

Why I Chose the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle

I was first introduced to the dongle through a YouTube video by Gadget Addict. Seeing how this small device could turn a smartphone into a digital TV got me excited—especially since I have an older Samsung Galaxy A5 that I don’t use as frequently. At PHP 499, the dongle seemed affordable and convenient, so my friend William Pombo and I decided to pick one up at SM Cubao on September 5, 2017.

The Purchase and Initial Impressions

After finding the dongle at a MyPhone store, I was eager to test it out. The store representative mentioned it was a plug-and-play device, and all I would need to do is connect the dongle, install the corresponding app, and I’d be ready to watch TV. However, the experience wasn’t as smooth as I’d hoped.

Testing the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle with My Samsung Galaxy A5

Once I plugged the dongle into my Samsung Galaxy A5, I downloaded the recommended app for TV streaming. We tried to get a signal by moving near an open area, but despite multiple attempts with two different dongles, we couldn’t get it to work. Unfortunately, I hadn’t brought the OTG adapter for my Samsung S8 Plus, so we couldn’t test compatibility with that model either.

Key Takeaway: Compatibility Issues with the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle

Our testing session highlighted an important point: not all smartphones, regardless of model or brand, are compatible with this dongle. If you’re considering buying one, I strongly recommend bringing your phone to a MyPhone store and testing it before making a purchase. Even though it’s a relatively inexpensive accessory, compatibility is a big factor, and the dongle simply may not work with certain phones.

 

Pros and Cons of the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle

Pros:

1. Affordable Price: At PHP 499, this dongle is a cost-effective alternative to traditional or online TV.
2. Portable Entertainment: No need for internet; you can enjoy digital TV anywhere.
3. Simple Installation: Just plug it into your phone, install the app, and start streaming (if compatible).

Cons:

1. Compatibility Issues: The dongle may not work on all devices, even high-end models.
2. Signal Dependency: Strong digital signals are required for smooth streaming.
3. Limited to MyPhone and Select Devices: Optimal use is likely with MyPhone devices; others may face issues. 

Is the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle Worth Buying?

If you own a MyPhone device or a compatible Android phone and want a simple, budget-friendly way to watch digital TV, this dongle could be worth a try. But if you have an older phone or a less common brand, test it out in-store to avoid disappointment.

Final Thoughts: My Experience with the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle

While the idea of turning my Samsung Galaxy A5 into a digital TV was exciting, my actual experience was underwhelming due to compatibility issues. For anyone thinking about buying the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle, remember to bring your device to the store for a test run. This dongle is an affordable and innovative gadget, but only if it works seamlessly with your phone.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried the MyPhone Digital TV Dongle! Did it work for you? Would you recommend it? Let’s share our experiences and help others make informed decisions.

🍽 Boodle Fight at Sungayan Grill & Floating Restaurant - The Taste of Bolinao.

This is a sumptuous post obviously. Join me as I’ll taste the food - a talk of the town restaurant in Pangasinan. This BEST BITE episode is part of my Pangasinan Trip with #BiyaheniJuan Group.

🎥 WATCH THE VLOG:

When you’re planning to travel in the north, specifically in Bolinao, Pangasinan; never forget to bring your friends or family to this worth visiting restaurant which is situated along the river – Sungayan Grill and Floating Restaurant.

Location

This place is truly placid eloquently that it is situated in a rural zone which is totally six-hour travel away from Manila via land (Van). Honestly if you‘re bearing in mind to try this restaurant solely, then don’t consider this, since it really takes an effort just to reach the location. However, if you’re on a backpacking trip, then think about to include this to your itinerary. In addition, it is just located in Balingasay, Bolinao , Pangasinan and a 10-minute walk from the main highway.



About the Place.

Sungayan Grill and Restaurant is a floating restaurant that reminds me of LOBOC Floating Restaurant in Bohol. This restaurant offers a boodle fight type of dine. Indeed, they also serve various packages depending on the numbers of guest – e.i. table for two, barkada, family and etcetera. You can avail the floating restaurant with an additional fee of PHP150 on the top of the food’s bill and you can now experience eating while seeing the nature. If you get dizzy easily like I do, then you can just eat there at the place.



There are nipa huts around, ornamental plants and fish pond which are very perfect-framing for photography. Moreover, if you have a car; parking area is available.

THE FOODS.



Majority of the foods they serve – sea foods and grilled foods which is least expensive when you eat sea foods in Dampa located in the city. This is due to the reason that sea foods are incredibly abundant here in Pangasinan as the supply increases, the price decreases.

Boodle dining includes rice, crabs, shrimps, grilled fish, sea weeds, green mango and various vegetables, among others. Juice is for free and unlimited as well.  If I’m gonna rate the taste, I’ll give it a ten over ten since that time I was extremely hungry due to the activities we did before we came in here. Honestly, a judgement of a person when it comes to taste is no longer reliable if hunger dominates.



THE SERVICE

Since they served freshly from the kitchen, then expect that you have to wait for a few minutes. When I say few, it takes 30 minutes which is good for me as I have enough time to saunter the place and take footages for my Vlog.  But the staffs here are costumer- oriented, since this is a restaurant of course.


OVERALL

With that picturesque view, undeniably eating the foods here is more enjoyable. That feeling wherein the nature is connecting towards you which leads me to become more relaxed and stress-free to the point that, I almost forget the span of time I was waiting for the foods I ordered.  The fresh air coming from the river is astounding .This place is somewhat convincing you to stay longer and make a fuss of the scenery.



Personally, I love the experience of eating sea foods by the river. It is totally different to what I’ve routinely did everyday – eating at fast food restaurant. Sungayan Grill and Floating Restaurant satisfies both my gastronomically craving and my crammed mind.

😱 [CONFESSION] 5 Things that I am Scared About.

Everyone has a weakness yet not everyone admits it. We don’t even disclose our fear to anybody assuming that this might lead us to become the centre of laughter in a circle of friends. But for now, I am brave enough to share you my TOP 5 Fears.

Advertisement by Google:

1.    FEAR OF DEATH – I don’t know what made me scared of death. The fact that I assumed – when the moment of your last breath ends, it might be extremely painful. I even tried to hold my breath to experience how it feels when you’re having hard time breathing during your last breath. The feeling is so scary. Lot of my friends say that there’s nothing to be scared  about death because everyone will die.

“ Gusto ko pag natsugi ako , yung hindi masakit , yung natutulog ka lang” I jokingly answered.

Indeed, anything that has something to death – I am scared – e.g morgue, cemetery, flowers, burial, coffin and etcetera. I am even afraid of an embalmer, so crazy, isn’t it? Even staring the face of a corpse during vigil is quite disturbing for me.

2.    FEAR JUMPING INTO THE WATER - I travelled a lot and I already visited a lot of waterfalls and cliff but none of those “worth jumping places” I jumped. I don’t have fear of height at all; being in high places is relaxing for me but jumping into the water from a high place is so scary .Due to the fact that I don’t know how to swim. I have this thinking – what if I’ll no longer float and having hard time to swim. Even if my friends are waiting me down there to rescue, no one can convince me to jump.

Facebook

3.    FEAR OF NOT MEETING GOALS – In the workplace, I easily felt devastated whenever I have goals to meet and I wasn’t able to achieve it.  For example, I have goal to buy this thing and so I’ll work hard for it but when there’s an emergency expenses and I can no longer purchase that thing, I felt bad easily. And that’s what I’m trying to avoid – not hitting goals.

4.    FEAR OF SCARCITY – I grew up in a “NOT WELL-OFF” family. I strived hard to become better and so in the future I am capable of purchasing what I need and what I want. It is my biggest fear, to live in scarce a resource -wherein you need to beg for foods, lend money to buy your basic needs; it is so degrading and that is one of my fears.

5.    FEAR OF FALLING IN LOVE – Yes, I admit! In my thirty years of existence, I never had a long term relationship. I am afraid of getting hurt in the latter part because I knew myself that I can’t handle it. Truly, being in love is such a great feeling but there’s a huge risk of getting hurt. I don’t want to become an abandon-crying individual due to unsuccessful love story. Indeed, I don’t want to grab a stone and hit my own head.

I still have few more other fears but not as extreme as those listed above. Those remaining are can easily be conquered but those top 5 that I disclosed, perhaps I need someone who can help me winning over those trepidation.

Will You Sacrifice Your Highest Paid Job to Fulfill Your Passion?

I just want to look back those moments that I started doing my “I Love Tansyong” blog.  It was just a dream at first; creating a travel blog requires you to travel a lot and in line to this, it requires you as well to have enough budgets in sustaining such lifestyle. Indeed, it was a tough pronouncement to start this kind of dream to become reality. But the impetuous of doing it is extremely high that no one can hinds against it.

Advertisement by Google:

My passion of travelling and sharing my experiences are both my passion. Since I was a kid, I’ve been dreaming of becoming a rich man someday and so I can saunter the whole world – with no scarcity. But it wasn’t the situation; I grew up with my Grandparents in Bohol who worked as a government employee. I made bringing myself in the urban zone of Manila and studying hard believing that education is the key to success. I graduated and continuously weaving words online using the blog platforms. Thanks to Google I also earned a minimal amount from doing it. I   saved it up and started looking for a permanent job which brought me into becoming a banker.

I was chasing pavements and looking for a higher pay job so that I can carry out my original dream – Travel.  I ended up in a Call Centre Industry which is undeniably helped me a lot of pleasing my dream. But there is still a challenge behind, I thought that having a job that gives me an enough pay will also give me an easy way to travel. Highest pay job is accompanied by sacrificing your time – working eight hours a day, five days a week. Not to mentioned the time that was wasted due to congested traffic going to work and back home. It was nerve-racking yet you have to go with it since as you increase your salary, in proportion to that, your expenses also increases – eg. Utility bills, mortgage, insurance and etcetera.

But still even that fracas, I kept on holding my dreams. Until recently, I was involved into this new platform named “Youtube” wherein it’s an innovative way of sharing my content and at the same time earning penny from it. I started to incorporate Youtube videos into my blog which works perfectly to me. I started becoming more vibrant in the workplace because I have something to look forward once I got back home – writing my online content, editing videos and building my brand online.

Numerous dreamers say to get a genuine self fulfillment, “You have to give up your stable job and pursue your passion” which is partly correct as “You can’t worship two gods at the same time”. However it doesn’t apply to everyone, it may applicable to those who grew up in a well-off family wherein they still have someone whom can rescue them in times of need. But to those who are like me, it is totally not a coward approach of not letting go your stable job to continue your passion. Use your stable job to hunt your passion instead. Make it as an advantage. It (pursuing dream) might not happen abruptly but by using your rational side in doing this decision-making, obviously it works slowly but surely.

I can’t have my laptop, camera, and phone and internet connection without my job. Having those medium, I can now easily reach my dream of creating content from my travels.


Sacrificing your stable highest paid job to shadow your passion will give you actually a gunning definition of who you are. I knew a lot of creative people who are still working in a job that they’re not really passionate about because that’s what really the reality is .Other needs to send money to their family or what not. It is poignant but true, and I must admit that my fervour of becoming a traveler and content creator is not sufficient enough to pay my mortgage and bill. Yet my permanent job can pay my bill and above all, it can pay to keep going my passion.

As I always highlight – our decision must be in a realistic approach, sometimes our heart isn’t giving a rigid judgement and so taking risk is not that measurable enough to avoid any fortuitous events in the future which lead you to an extreme regret.
