🔴WEBCAST: Which Do You Prefer Freelancing or Working Full-Time?

A full-time job is when a person is recruited by an organization and works a minimum number of hours per day as defined by their employer; in other words, it is the quintessential nine-to-five job. 

On the other hand, freelancing is when a person is self-employed and works for different companies on a per-job/task basis. 

Which do you prefer Freelancing or working Full-Time? In this Webcast Episode, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of working as a freelancer and a full-time employee. I hope you'll learn from this.

Streamlining My Micro Living Condo: Installing a Bladeless Fan, Sound Bar & Managing Cables!

Living in a micro condo means every inch of space counts! Recently, I took on a mini home-improvement project to optimize my small home office setup. First on the list was installing a bladeless electric fan on the wall. Not only does this free up floor space, but it also adds a sleek, modern touch to the room. This fan is ideal for small spaces since it delivers powerful airflow without taking up extra room. Next, I mounted a sound bar just above my TV, creating an immersive entertainment setup that’s perfect for movie nights or relaxing with music after a long day. The sound bar’s position also makes it easy to control remotely, which is an added bonus! 

 The most challenging (and rewarding) part was organizing all the cables! With multiple devices in such a small area, wire management was essential to keep things tidy and functional. I spent half the day hiding cables, securing them to the wall, and using clips to keep everything in place. While it was exhausting, the end result is a clutter-free space that feels more organized and comfortable. This mini project has made my micro-living condo feel even more functional and inviting. If you’re looking to make the most of a small space, I definitely recommend investing time in wire management and considering wall-mounted appliances to maximize your living area.

🔴LIVE: Talking About College Life and 10 Years Later with Bonjo.

Remember on my last blog post wherein I went to Maginhawa St. for food tripping with my college friends. Before we headed towards the street of Maginhawa to grab a bite; our main destination was the Philippine Children Medical Center for my friends’ COVID19 swab test. 

While waiting inside the car, Bonjo and I decided to go on Live via Youtube to share our discussion with my community – Tansyong Lovers. We talked about Adulting and what are the changes we actually noticed from the time we studied at the same University versus life after 10 years. It was truly nostalgic and fun.

Craving Lechong Manok & Nilagang Baka + My 2nd Dose of Anti-Rabies Vaccine!

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! 🌟 In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my recent life happenings—from satisfying my midnight cravings to getting my second dose of the anti-rabies vaccine. Life can be busy, but I always make time for a little indulgence, comfort food, and keeping up with my health. Let’s dive in!

Rotisserie Chicken aka Lechon Manok.

Midnight Cravings: Lechong Manok to the Rescue!

So, the other night, I woke up at midnight with an intense craving for Lechong Manok (rotisserie chicken). You know those moments when you can’t stop thinking about a certain food? That was me, so I decided to take action and make it happen!

I grabbed a whole chicken, marinated it with a mix of herbs, spices, and some Filipino flavors. Then, I used my trusty air fryer to cook the chicken to crispy perfection. For those who don’t know, rotisserie chicken is made by cooking the chicken using direct heat, often from electric or gas-powered heating elements. The result? A super juicy, tender chicken with crispy skin—just the way I like it! 🍗

The best part? I didn’t have to go out to get it. I could prepare this delicious dish from the comfort of my condo. Honestly, having an air fryer has made cooking so much easier, especially for dishes like Lechong Manok, which I can now make at any time. It’s a total game-changer for me!

Beef Soup aka Nilagang Baka.

Comfort Food to the Rescue: Nilagang Baka

While I was cooking my Lechong Manok, I also had to take care of some health matters. I recently got a little scratch from a street cat (I know, not the best situation 😅), so I had to go get my second dose of the anti-rabies vaccine.

I’ve had this vaccine before, and every time I get a dose, I feel a bit feverish. So, to treat myself, I decided to cook a hearty pot of Nilagang Baka. For those who are not familiar, Nilagang Baka is a Filipino beef soup made with tender beef shank and a variety of vegetables like potatoes, beans, and cabbage. It’s a warm, flavorful dish that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Nilagang Baka is one of my absolute favorite Filipino comfort foods. The tender beef combined with the veggies makes it both delicious and healthy. Plus, it's the perfect food when you're not feeling 100%, which made it the ideal choice since I was dealing with the side effects of the vaccine.

The Perfect Combo: Health, Comfort, and Cravings

It’s amazing how food can bring so much comfort and joy, especially when you’re dealing with health matters like vaccinations. Cooking these dishes not only satisfied my cravings but also made me feel better physically and emotionally.

I truly believe that food is such a big part of my life—it’s a way to treat myself, stay connected to my culture, and find comfort during challenging times. The combination of Lechong Manok and Nilagang Baka made my day, and I couldn’t have asked for better comfort food to enjoy during my recovery.

Takeaway

Life isn’t always about being busy or perfect. Sometimes, it's about taking a step back, cooking something you love, and focusing on your health. Whether it’s satisfying a midnight craving or making your favorite comfort food, remember to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. And of course, don’t forget to take care of yourself (even if it means getting your anti-rabies vaccine, haha)!

Elevate Your Kitchen with This Adhesive Spice Rack!

Not only does it save counter space, but it also keeps my spices within arm’s reach while adding a sleek and modern look to my small kitchen.

The rack is super easy to install—no drilling required! With its adhesive back, it firmly sticks to the wall, making it perfect for renters or anyone who wants to avoid damaging their kitchen walls. It holds a variety of spice bottles securely, from garlic powder to curry powder, basil leaves, and even pepper grinders.

This spice rack isn’t just about function—it’s also about aesthetics. Displaying your favorite spices neatly can inspire creativity in your cooking and give your kitchen a more polished look. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting your cooking journey, this simple addition is a must-have for any micro-living setup.

Buying Expensive Coffee Presser Out of Impulse.

My plastic pitcher broke and I have nothing to use for cold drinking water that fits on my refrigerator’s compartment. I was reluctant to go outside during mall hours to buy one because I am trying to avoid the crowded areas as there is a surge of Omicron variant – COVID19. Hence, it is essential for me, at least to have a cold water supply and I decided to quickly go to the nearest Home and Kitchen supply store situated in Pavilion, Greenfield District. To my surprise, the security guard told me that the said store where I frequently bought plastic products is already closed for more than one year. I am a patron f such store – Japan Home, as it is affordable. That’s when I realized that it’s been one year that I haven’t visited the said establishment and sadly numerous stores are closed due to pandemics. The place is silent and dark inside so I decided not to head inside anymore.

While I was walking back to my condo unit, I thought of heading to SM Megamall since I am already outside and I have no plan of going outside again unless it is important, then I decided to just go to SM Megamall which is only a 5-minute walk from Pavilion. I’ll check if there is an available pitcher similar to what I had. I went to the department store and found a glass version for the amount of PHP500. 

While sauntering in the department store, I saw a coffee presser and I remembered that my coffee-maker is no longer working. Coffee is my life as someone who worked at night. I decided to buy one; it was amounting to PHP3, 000. Yes, it was expensive and I grabbed it due to impulse, only I realized after that, I haven’t checked the pricing of coffee presser online via Shopee or Lazada for comparison. 

It was funny because I kept reminding myself as part of denial that maybe it is expensive in line with its durability. But honestly, I must admit that I had a little bit of remorse haha. It was not practical because I can already buy 2 coffee makers on the said amount. I admit I failed on that part.

Watch this short video, preparing an iced coffee. 

Despite of somewhat, I called –“little remorse” when it comes to functionality, it did really work. It is just that, every time I am using my newly-purchased coffee presser, I always make sure to handle it with extra care, not to fall on the floor or any reason to get it broken. “Ang Mahal Kaya”, but I really love using it.

TIP: Use Rack To Arrange Indoor Plants Inside A Small Apartment Unit.

Plant racks are great furniture pieces that will help you organize your space. Instead of leaving pots on the floor, you can use tiered racks to elevate your plants and free up some floor space. If you love plants, you'll love the freedom plant stands give you to enjoy your plants anywhere at home. You may also consider a Plant Stand- it can help plants grow even more by maximizing growing space, too. If you have larger plant pots, Plant Movers is an option - it can help make it easier to push plants to a new place and clean around them.

Since I am living in a tiny studio-type condo unit that measures 13.5 sqm. So, I have no luxury of moving my plants to different places. In addition, I have so many plants - so Plant Rack is the best option and not Plant stand. 

Plants Racks elevate the pots from the floor which makes it easier to remove the dirt and dust below. The free space below can also be used as storage. I decided to purchase one for my table, one for the floor, and one that fits above the refrigerator.  In fact, there are many reasons why you might benefit from a plant rack, and for me - simply, space-saving and aesthetic.

REVIEW: Overnight Stay At Royal Palm Residences, Taguig City.

The green ground and landscaped gardens of Royal Palm Residences, Taguig City.

 

We have decided to discreetly book an apartment unit at Royal Palm Residences in Taguig City to celebrate my friend's birthday - William Pombo. That was exciting because that said plan for a surprise party was agreed upon by the majority - there are Britney Spears's Fans who became my circle of friends.   

 

We opted for the said Condominium Establishment because it has a swimming pool and is accessible within Metro Manila; no need to drive away from the city just to experience a staycation and celebration at the same time. It is also nearby Maple Place, Rosewood Pointe, and Mulberry Place, maybe that is one of the reasons why short-term rental is affordable because it is surrounded by nearby condo establishments that offer with same services.

Surprise Birthday Party of William Pombo.

Pristine Swimming Pool at Royal Palm Residences, Taguig City.

The relaxing view of the sunset from the balcony of the said unit is located at one of the high-rise buildings named Kamala.

WATCH THE VLOG:

 

This 4.12-hectare Thai tropical-inspired residential community, composed of eight mid-rise and two-high rise buildings, blends old-world charm with modern conveniences. Find your home in Taguig city, close to Bonifacio Global City and the Makati CBD in a studio, two- or three-bedroom, or tandem unit, with prices that range from P2.7M to 6.39M. Luxuriate in amenities that include gardens, courts, pools, and various other facilities for your pleasure and entertainment.

Eight mid-rise buildings are named Karon, Kata, Railay, Yanao, Phuket, Nui, Pansea, and Samui. These buildings have 5 levels of residential floors and only 1 level of basement parking.

While the two-high rise buildings are named Kamala and Rawai. Those two buildings have has 

14 Levels Residential Floors, 3 Level Podium Parking, 1 Level Basement Parking. We stayed in Kamala Building so the sunset can be seen in front of the balcony.

FEEDBACK:

I love the place. Especially, if you have your own unit, I assumed that you'll get relaxed during weekends from your tiring work because the place is not crowded unlike with Azure Urban Resort and Residences. This establishment is a residential place but became open to the public for short-term leases like a weekend staycation; during the boom of Airbnb, among others.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Unit that we booked, I love it. It has plenty of rooms and bathrooms. It has a maid room and master bedroom. It has complete kitchen utensils and cooking equipment so we're able to cook our food for the party. A ref that we put the birthday cake and drinks. It has also a wifi connection and cable for television. When it comes to cleanliness, I didn't see any cockroaches and insects, nor foul smell.

I only noticed the discoloration on the common bathtub and some molds on the gutter. But on the master's bedroom-owned washroom, it was extremely elegant and pristine.

General Facilities in this establishment are complete. So, if I live here, I maybe not go out unless buying grocery supplies. 

Amenities:

• 24-hour Security
• Arrival Court
• Multi-Purpose Court
• Children's Playground
• Children's Recreation Space / Daycare
• Clubhouse
• Convenience Store
• Entertainment Room
• Fitness Gym
• Function Hall
• Game Room
• Gazebo/ Cabana
• Grill Pits
• Jogging/ Biking Path
• Kiddie Pool
• Landscaped Gardens
• Lap Pool
• Laundry Station
• Lounge Area
• Main Entrance Gate
• Open Lawn/Picnic Grove
• Perimeter Fence
• Pool Deck
• Pool Shower Area
• Pool Water Slides

The developer is DMCI Homes, so no questions when it comes to aesthetics. But the solemnity of the place is what I loved. You knew the fact that you can go to any amenities without going to a long queue. And above all, you can set down in one of the gazebos and not worrying your belongings might get stolen due to overcrowding.

TIPS:

1. When looking for a staycation. Make sure to ask the owner - what day the swimming pool is not open to the public. There are days that swimming pools are only exclusive for the unit owners and not to guests. There are also days that amenities are close to both unit owners and guests due to weekly maintenance.
2. If you don't own a car, and you've booked for a staycation; much better if you buy all your food and groceries before heading to the establishment because you have to walk for a few minutes just to get out of the area and reach the public vehicle terminal. Indeed, if you have heavy baggage from shopping, tricycles are not allowed inside.

Environment on Mining Specific.| Isyu sa Pagmimina.

Mining is one of the most controversial issues. On April 2021, President Duterte lifted the 9-year moratorium under Executive Order 130 from No Permit to granting new permits on mining. Meanwhile, in December 2021, DENR lifted the Ban of an Open Pit via administrative order 2021-40. These were praised by the Mining Industry but criticized by numerous environmentalists and human rights defenders.

Question: If elected, are you going to strengthen these proposals or will totally ban them?

 

COVID -19 Pandemic Issue.

We’ve (Philippines) been suffering from the Pandemic Starting March 2020. According to DOH, as of 2022, we have already reached 3 million cases with 50 thousand death. In addition, per Johns Hopkins University – COVID19 Dashboard, as of 1/30/2022 – 372,960.394 total cases with 5,659,574 death worldwide. We already knew that this virus is vicious and unpredictable. We already heard different variants from mutation – e.g.  Delta, Omicron etcetera. It mutates, but the question of when and how can’t be answered, but one thing is clear, it’s killing people and the economy.

Question: Given the viciousness and unpredictability of this virus, if elected, what is your program?

Poverty | Kahirapan.

According to PSA (Philippine Statistic Authority), October 2001 reported  3.27M jobless Filipinos; October  2010 has 2.79 Million, October 2016 recorded 2Million, October 2021 had 3.5Million. Meanwhile, according to SWS (Social Weather Station) when it comes to hunger, quarter 3 of 2001 has 9.3% Filipinos who experience hunger, quarter 3 of 2010 has 15.9%, quarter 3 of 2016 has 10.6% and quarter 3 of 2021 has 10% or around 2.5 million of Philippine population. Truly, given the data of 3.5millions are jobless and 2.5millions are hungry; this is an urgent and alarming problem. 

Question: If elected, what do you do?

OFW and Migration | OFW at Migrasyon.

In September 2019, PSA (Philippine Statistic Authority) reported that there are 2.2 Million Filipino Migrants worldwide; this includes 96% as contract workers and 3.2% as non-contracts. Remittance accounted, For 8.9billion USD (2018), 30.1B USD (2019) 29.9B USD (2020), 25.9B USD (October 2021) which contributes 11% of the National GDP. On the other hand, there is a Social Cost that is unquantifiable that contributes to the destruction of the Filipino Family. 

Question: How do you balance the Economic Positive Effect of having OFWs and the so-called Social Cost?

Social Media and Pornography.

Pornhub – online streaming for adult content, reported the 2021 year-end review. According to the report, Filipinos spent 11minutes and 30 seconds watching adult videos which makes the Philippines number 1 consumer, even surpassing France and Japan.

Meanwhile,  a Grammy award American songwriter Billie Eilish was exposed to Pornography as early as 11 years old. She admitted that it affects her mental state destructively, especially how she looks at sex, and in her 20s – she‘s on her way to recovery.

Hypothetical Question: What will you do when you discover your young children are addicted to Pornography?

Rape-related Abortion | Aborsyon para sa nabuntis dahil sa RAPE.

According to data from Philippine Safe Abortion Advocacy Networks and Gender Rights Inc; One Filipino girl is being raped every 75 minutes; about 1 in 8 Filipino Women who resort to abortion are rape survivors. 70 women induce abortion every hour; a complication from unsafe & illegal abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal death and hospitalization. In the Philippines, Year 2012 alone, 610 women induce abortion, over a hundred thousand women are hospitalized and a thousand women died because of the complications from unsafe abortion. Due to a lack of access to safe and legal abortion in the country, at least 3 women died every day.

Question: Is it time to enact a law of abortion to allow abortion to pregnant women due to rape?

Illegal Drugs | Ilegal na Droga.

Duterte admits he was wrong on the 3-6 months drug war deadline.

“I feel so bad [about] all of these things. Kasi nalaman ko, paano ko makontrol in three to six months, ang mga generals na pulis nandiyan. Tapos ‘yung mga Bureau of Customs na inaasahan ko, p*******ina nasa droga. How will I succeed, e nasa droga,” Duterta said in a speech in Ozamis City.

“Alam ko na nagkamali ako. Nagkamali talaga ako,” he added.

The President also said the Philippines has now become a “narcotics country.”

“Now, magtanong kayo, ang Pilipinas, are we or are we not a narcotics country? Yes, we are,” he said.

“Sabi ko, tama iyang silang mga kritiko ko. ‘Eh sabi mo, noong nag-Presidente ka, three to six months.’ Hindi ko alam pagpasok ko, eh Davao lang kasi ako, so ang template ko Davao… May droga, pero sabi ko, maglaro ka doon, patay ka talaga,” he added.

Question, How much do you know about Illegal Drugs in the Philippines, are we a Narco-country?

Philippine Debt | Utang ng Bansa sa World Bank.

According to the Bureau of Treasury, after Joseph Estrada’s administration, Ph Debt ended up at PHP2.6 Trillion, after Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s administration – PHP5.1 Trillion, after Ninoy Aquino- PHP6.5Trillion and ending November  2021 during Rodrigo Dutere’s administration, we have now a running of the total of PHP11.93 Trillion debt.

Question: How do you manage paying the debt when elected?

The West Philippine Sea.

If we talked about WPS (West Philippine Sea) – e.i. Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Mansol), the Spratly Islands as the Kalayaan Island Group. These are being also claimed by China’s Territories. In fact, in the Reef of Zamora and Mischief Reef, also known as Panganiban Reef, the Chinese Government illegally construct infrastructure and continuously reclaimed the area. 

On July 12, 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration - PCA-CPA released a decision that the said areas are owned by the Philippines, but China kept claiming illegally. In addition, ending December 2021, the Philippines already filed 241 Diplomatic Protest, 152 are being responded to by China.

Question: If all Diplomatic Protest failed, as President of the Republic of the Philippines, do you think we are strong enough and prepared to fight for a defensive war against China?

Presidential Qualifications | Kwalipikasyon bilang isang Presidente.

According to the 1987 .constitution of the republic of the Philippines, ARTICLE VII - Section 2. No person may be elected President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election.

Question: Is it time to amend that provision?

⛵ Experience the Wave Pool at Azure Urban Resort Residences.

THE AZURE WAVE POOL. A very own man-made beach comes with a wave machine that creates fun beach waves every few minutes.

We drove 30-40 minutes via Grabcar, all the way from Nichols Pasay to  KM 16 W Service Rd, Bicutan, Parañaque City- where Azure Urban Residences. Since one of my friends named Sol stayed there, she invited us to visit her place and experience the Azure Wave Pool. 

Azure Urban Residences has nine captivating mid-rise towers that are owned by private residents. But it became open to the public as it has its own amazing resort. In addition, the booming business of short-term lease also known as Staycation turns this place open to the visitors. Every building at the Azure is characterized by modern tropical aesthetics and design The establishment can be indulged and booked through Airbnb, among others.

One of the amenities -"The Paris Beach Club", is designed by celebrity Paris Hilton. It is a clubhouse in front of the Azure Wave Pool which encapsulates the essence of Paris, showcasing the designer's world-class standard in design, amenities, and services.

Watch The Vlog.

At the main gate, strict security is being practiced. You cannot go inside if you have no confirmed booking. In our case, the security guard called the tower's lobby where Sol is residing, to confirm the resident that they were expecting guests. Once arrived at the tower's lobby, another security measure is needed. you have to leave your Identification Card.

Inside ONE-BEDROOM where Sol resides. It has a TOTAL AREA: 28.863 sqm. 

There is a LAGOON POOL, but this is only exclusive to residents, the Azure’s lagoon pool is the next option for a more relaxed swim as the Wave Pool is surprisingly crowded.  I must admit, the place has a really fantastic view and can be bragged to your social media.

According to my friend who stayed there, you can even book a room for one night amounting to PHP1,500 and can accommodate 3-4 people. The Wave Pool has an entrance fee but since we're escorted by my friend, we got it for free. Unfortunately, the wave pool is not continuously offering its so-called waves. There is only a specific time they turn it on. 

Overall, I must say that, if you're looking for beach fun, this place is an alternative to consider because it is located in the Metro. But if you would like to relax, I cannot recommend it; due to overcrowded common areas. If you would like to visit the place for ocular and photography, then go for it. But seems this place is something that I won't visit again intentionally, just to swim. Somewhat, experiencing once is enough for me just to satisfy my curiosity.
