Keep Learning

I picked this card from my BDJ Dare to Be Creative deck today:

”What would you like to be better at this year?”

Here are the things that I would like to be better at for the rest of 2021:

  1. I would like to learn how to control my emotions better.

  2. I would like to learn how to sustain my career as a Content Creator through continuous journaling.

  3. I would like to learn how to publish an ebook.

  4. I would like to learn how to publish a book.

  5. I would like to learn how to crochet the Stella Top.

  6. I would like to learn how to crochet a velvet bag.

  7. I would like to learn how to crochet the Sehana Top.

  8. I would like to learn how to crochet the Calico Flowers Scarf.

  9. I would like to maintain my figure.

  10. I would like to learn how to continue my journaling habit.

I feel so blessed to have skills such as writing prose and crocheting because they make me feel young. There is always something new to write about, and there is always an interesting pattern to crochet. From here, I can continue expanding my horizons.

Indeed, the love for learning gives me a reason to live!

Film to Faith

Yesterday, I watched Jino to Mari, a Filipino indie film directed by Joselito Altarejos. It tackled poverty as a social context and the extreme choices that have to be made in order to make ends meet. Angela Cortez delivered the performance of a lifetime in this film, as she played a young mother who had to shoot a pornography film for her family. It was a heartbreaking movie that reminded me to count my blessings and appreciate the opportunities that I have.

The movie saddened me (which was good, since that was what the director hopefully intends), so I ate the bulgogi beef rice bowl at 8Bowls Asian Kitchen. It was delicious and great value for Php99!

Later, I went to St. Clare to give thanks, pray for my intentions, and offer eggs.

I enjoy watching indie films because they give me a glimpse of reality that commercial films don’t usually portray. Coupled with affordable but delicious food and a dash of prayer, I know that I can pursue the opportunities that are within my reach to escape the undesirable circumstances in my own life. All I have to do is act on my goals, and keep on pursuing the things that inspire me to dream.
