#100HappyDays Blogging, Writing, Published! - with @BoracayMandarin

Blogging has opened quite a number of doors for me. Once impossible, I've learned that I actually love to write. I'd like to thank Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel (check out my hotel experience) for this opportunity to share my adventures with Boracay travelers.

#100HappyDays Good to Great

Yesterday, I received one of those 28 Days to Great emails as part of my Barre3 Challenge. This is supposedly my final week and the message was to level up - transform "good" to "great" and go that extra mile as if it were my last day on earth. I began to have inner conversations as I walked to class this morning and have been continuously asking myself how to make everything good to great the whole day so far.

#100HappyDays The Me Day

A certain someone changed my outlook in one conversation a few years ago. She told me to make time for myself (just try it once in my lifetime because I felt so exhausted and overwhelmed) and to create a perfect day (everything I want to do in one day without thinking about what other people will say and no matter how crazy it is) then just do it. I took her advice and conjured up an image where I allotted certain chunks of my perfect day to do the things that would make me happy (the idea/plan will just come to me even at the last minute, even on the morning of the day itself). I just realized that I've been doing it unconsciously hehe - I could actually not just reserve it for Sundays and boy, do I do a lot of stuff so happily! =)

#100HappyDays Music

This song saved me last night and made me come to my senses. Good thing I tested out the Nude Audio speaker for a review haha. And so I've been playing music from the moment I woke up today. May your days be filled with love, music and happiness =D

Who You Love - John Mayer ft. Katy Perry

#100HappyDays Feelings

I feel pain, anger and everything else. It's overwhelming and I've been trying to come to terms with the emotions the whole day.

Nobody's perfect, especially me. I'm so glad I came out of the numbness and the feelings just surfaced. I can't zombie my way anymore through certain things in my life.

#100HappyDays Dare to Love

Read John Legend's commencement speech. =)

#100HappyDays Early Morning Conversations

I've come to appreciate waking up early every morning for the past few weeks with my Barre3 schedule. The first 2 weeks were spent on myself - getting acquainted with the moves, being comfortable but still challenged and adjusting according to my body. There was a turn of events though and I started having wonderful conversations with my Barre-mates. 

#100HappyDays Doc's Friendly Advice to Diarrhea, What to Eat

I've been sick for the past few days, immobile really, weak and haunted by the question, "What do I eat when something I ate made me sick?" It made me cautious and worried that my body was rejecting everything I was eating, especially in the past 2 days (and so many Skyflakes and glasses of water later on the first day). My first response was to take Seirogan and when that didn't calm the pain, I took Diatabs (tsk tsk). The pain did go away but I know that my body is not well (probably made it worse), stuffed and on the edge.

#100HappyDays This Godzilla

If there are movies I wouldn't watch, it will be along the lines of ghosts, zombies, aliens and dinosaurs. Well, I braced myself for Godzilla upon J's nice (how-can-I-say-no) invite. I'm proud to say that I sat through everything without closing my eyes just because - is it just me or does this Godzilla look like a cute bear wolf dog? =D

#100Happy Days Impromptu Date

What do you respond to "Do you want to go to a museum now?" (Uh, ok..) J brought me to the Lopez Museum for the first time yesterday and we had a blast with their "Complicated" exhibit =D

#100HappyDays @KedsPH Purple Champs

Since today is Casual Friday, I decided to take out my purple Keds Champs =) I was able to walk comfortably to my mall meeting and run around doing errands for a few hours (my feet thank me). I got this baby for the Keds Brave Girl Campaign and took it to Taiwan for a week so I'm kinda attached to them now hihi.

#100HappyDays @Barre3PH Challenge

I've written about Barre3 before here and I was ecstatic to learn last month that The Spa finally opened a branch in Greenhills (Promenade B2) =) I've been at it every day for the past weeks and the studio has become a sanctuary to me so early in the morning.

#100HappyDays Sky Blue

I paused from reading (actually my iPhone died on me) and happened to look out the window. I saw the sky painted with amazing sunset colors (blues, oranges, reds, pinks and purples) and I started to notice the birds and the insects.
