Now, I already feel how 'heavy' my new responsibility is #24weeks
Simple happiness.... When you discovered a new cozy coffeeshop nearby after trying to assemble a few pieces to make your small space look like home....and when one slice of chocolate cake is good for two :D #titasofmanila #adulting
#Randomthoughts while commuting: Unless you have your own car, you need to overcome a lot of transportation challenges in Metro Manila. You need to surpass footbridges, tall stairs. Not all MRT stations have functional elevators and escalators.Waiting for a bus ride, FX, and taxi is exhausting. You need to stand for a long time. I think about how can senior citizens, persons with disabilities, pregnant women survive this kind of environment. It's not enough to have laws that say we do not discriminate people in the workplace based on gender, age, and disability. We need to create an enabling environment by building infrastructures that respond to the needs of the vulnerable members of the society. If we think that it is costly to setup elevators, escalators in public spaces, chairs in waiting sheds to accommodate the needs of those who belong to the 'minority', then we underestimate the value that they can bring to the development of our country. We think of them as 'minority' and almost invisible because our public spaces do not seem to welcome them.
When I was struggling with quarter life crisis, I felt incomplete ....especially with the aid of social media, you can't help but think may kulang ba sa buhay ko...Life was just a rat race.... Fast forward.... I'm settled, contented. And realized that pana panahon lang ang mga bagay bagay. When I was younger, I wanted to do more. Now, I want to do less. I used to long for places I haven't been. Now, I long for a new piece of home item. I no longer find the need to aspire what others have. As you grow old, your desire to prove yourself slowly declines. You will value health more than you used to. You will stop trying everything because you learn to prioritize. You'll learn to accept trade offs because you realize you can't have everything. You'll learn to slow down and enjoy life ...and worry less if your life seems uneventful.. Happy Monday sa mga "Titas"! #randomthoughts #jackiediary #dailyreflection #titasofmanila #titareflections
