Hello, 2017! 

Hello, 2017! 

2016 was a bitch – too many fallen stars and too many faulty decisions. We can’t wait for it to end. But as we usher in a new and fresh year, we can’t help but look back and be thankful for all the good things that happened.  We started 2016...
I See You, For You

I See You, For You

You’re a year older, wiser and better, but always the same Rocky I know.  I often regard you as Mr. Misunderstood, because people don’t see you for you. And I say this everyday, every year.  I know beyond those bitchy tones, brow raises and eye...
It Was Another One of Those Nights

It Was Another One of Those Nights

Random, fun and full of nothingness. Our daily routine at work is a tiring process of production and monitoring. Not that I’m complaining. I love my job. I am in love with my job that I actually started dreaming about it, and that I take emails for breakfast...
Gone Too Soon: A Year After Your Last Breath

Gone Too Soon: A Year After Your Last Breath

Minutes past 8:30 in the evening I was lying down on the grass listening to Augustana singing live at Wanderland 2015, with clouded thoughts and a heavy heart. I was staring at a blank and dark sky. I was looking for a star. After few glances, I found one,...
The Beach and Me

The Beach and Me

If people have chocolates and spa as stress busters, I have the beach.  The sand, the clear salty water and the blue skies – as if this triad has found the cure to every aspect of stress. The beach is always my comfort zone, my refuge. And I make sure I...
For the First Time, I am Learning

For the First Time, I am Learning

It’s been a year since I entered grad school. This third term feels just like the first – exciting, fresh and less scary.  I have lived most of my college years trying to do my best in every class – doing everything that would get me high...
Rainy Days & Mondays

Rainy Days & Mondays

It is my 20th hour of being awake on a crazy Monday. It has been tiring, but definitely productive!  Meetings started at 10am with Lush, a brand we now handle (yay)! We got exciting activities in the pipeline I can’t wait to share with everyone. For the...
Happy Birthday, Rocky! 

Happy Birthday, Rocky! 

What he says, he does. He practically lives through his principles and beliefs. He is, most of the time, hard-headed. Not because he’s stubborn, but because he knows what he wants, needs and he knows his values. He’s not the most open guy in the universe,...
Talk that Talk

Talk that Talk

I always get so giddy and happy whenever I’m invited to do a talk. First, because I’ve always dreamt of talking in public since I was a kid. Second, because I feel I am doing something right for them to invite me. It validates what I do. Third, because I...
Family Road Trip

Family Road Trip

Have I told you how I love the beach and the sun? Here I am again into another coastline (and it’s not even officially summer yet). My uncle with his family went back to Manila for a two-week vacation, and of course, part of it is we have to go to the beach! And...
