When I was growing up, we were not wealthy, but not really dirt poor. I always dream of being rich, being able to buy whatever I want and being able to help people who need help and I always believe that the only way to be successful is through hard work. I have always been […]
Ever since I flew out of the Philippines in 2015, I have been hustling. When I was in Singapore, almost 3 times a week we were doing 2-3 hour gigs after work or during weekends. When we came here in 2016, I found a side hustle that really required me to work 4-5 hours more […]
Has there ever been a time when you were interviewed for a job and you feel like you nailed it, but after a few days, your recruiter will tell you that you didn’t get the job? It happened to me this week, not once but twice and it was so frustrating. I feel like I’m […]
Nope. Not my first day, but it was my daughter’s first day of school last Tuesday. I can’t remember anything from my kindergarten days – what we studied, who my classmates were (well my brother and I were classmates and according to my mom, we always fight). I remember my teacher, her name is Fely […]
2018 has been an awesome year so far. We sold our condo, albeit we are renting. We made a major purchase, I got a new job, a have a few side-hustles, my coaching practice is starting to take-off, my son was born, my daughter started school. There’s a lot to be thankful and grateful for. […]

That’s what the priest told us when my wife and I got married. For the first 6 months, we were doing that until my wife got pregnant. With her having a big tummy, it became really hard for us to go to a mall or go out so we did dates at home. This was […]
I love boxing. I don’t know why but there’s something in this sport that really makes me patronize it. Probably, the science behind it, or when your favorite boxer KOs their opponent. I was 11 years old when I was hooked to the sport. It was when I watched then Filipino champion Luisito Espinosa take […]
I am proud of what I’m doing in my IT and coaching practice. I feel that I am good at it, in fact, most of the time I feel like I’m an expert in what I do. But it all came crashing down one day. Without trying to bore you with what I do in […]
I attended a Toastmasters meeting the other day as a guest. If you’ll ask me 10 years ago to go to these kinds of social events, I will give you a BIG NO. But now, it’s different. I even gave an impromptu speech about one of the table topics they have. I felt nervous like […]
