I live to tell stories

[Spirit of America @SpiritAmerica]

In 1776, a small group gathered in Philadelphia to make the radical declaration that all men are created equal, with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This declaration began a journey that transformed the world. Today, to honor the history of that journey, Spirit of America is launching the #RoadTo250 campaign to share the story of America with a new generation, starting with the Philippines, a country that’s been a part of our nation’s story, since before our founding. 🇵🇭🇺��

We’re taking a dynamic group of independent Filipino influencers — @jacquemanabat, @raymorcuevaas, @CrysthaShayne, and @JonasTayaban_VO — on a 2-week trip across the US, with stops in DC, Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. Together, they’ll bring millions of followers along for the ride as they explore America’s history, founding ideals, and the dynamic story of American-Philippines partnership. 🗽🔔🌉

The program kicked off yesterday as the group arrived in DC, meeting with the team at Spirit of America HQ before spending the day touring the @USMC War Memorial, the National Mall, and @philippinesusa.

📲 Follow their journey on Spirit of America's social channels, as we celebrate 250 years of America’s story, and the partnerships that make freedom possible. #SpiritOfAmerica #America250 #USPhilippinesPartnership

I want to hug my young self who has been so competitive since time immemorial that she did not know how stress she was then.

Mahigpit na yakap to our overachiever and competitive younger self.

BRB I’m still processing what he told me.

I had dinner with my high school barkada last night and he said something that bothered me:

“Siguro sa mga tulad namin na hindi stress nung high school okay lang, pero sa mga tulad mo na maraming kelangan patunayan, parang ang stressful ng high school”

I'm in Baguio for a week now and I am impressed how LGU govern the city & how disciplined people in Baguio are.
Good governance + disciplined citizens can go a looooong way. It takes 2 to tango indeed.
This city is efficient kahit hindi masyadong high-tech ang facilitiies

High school reunions will make you remind yourself that life is not freaking high school.
You don't need to be liked by everyone. If you feel left out for your values and beliefs, it's okay! You are not the same person when you were 16!

If only people will choose to be kind, selfless and good... this world would be a happier place to live.

The ugly truth is, people will either doubt your goodness or will see you as a weak person for being "too good"

Everything I've been trying to achieve for 3 years happened in 6 days! I grew from 6,000 followers to 100,000 followers in 6 days! 😭

I have been creating content since 2019 because I feel that I can reach more people if I will use social media. Faceboo…https://t.co/RyIS8mFwUe

I was not in a good place two years ago.

I was anxious, scared and lost. I was easily triggered, even with seemingly trivial things.

I was not sad, but I was also not happy. I had to convince myself everyday that I SHOULD be happy.

I had a very fulfill…https://t.co/RKJ3fM3par

Context: nagka Covid ako at nagpa konsulta a #BEK the doctor consultation was free, FREE covid care kit (with meds, vitamins, thermometer, oximeter, face mask, Lysol, alcohol, even garbage bag) tapos may mangangamusta pa sayo kung kumusta pakiramdam mo.

This text still makes me sad. This text still makes me think of the things that could happen, had vp @lenirobredo won.

Pero sabi nga ni Raf, tuloy ang buhay! To all volunteers of Bayanihan E-konsulta, maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo!

One of the very few silverlinings of the very frustrating election results is that, you now know who are the friends you can truly trust and we learn to stand up for ourselves.

“I am not ready to meet yet. I wont be ready anytime soon”

Saying these words to friends who are indirectly laughing at my grief post election is very liberating. I still value our friendship but I value my peace even more

Draw boundaries. You don’t need to explain. You owe that to yourself.
