When you’re in your 20s, it’s normal to feel invincible. You think you can never get sick, you think you’ll easily get out of debt, you’ll think you’re ready to live alone, quit your day job, dye your hair pink, et cetera. This is why we make a lot of flippant decisions and forgive ourselves easily. However, when you talk about money, it’s usually a different story, I highly recommend
A few months ago, I underwent a 5-hour treatment at SVS Salon Prime. This is a new location nestled in the heart of the city, at the 3rd floor of ITH Building, in front of Sutherland. SVS is a famous Korean salon here in Davao city. They’ve been around for almost a decade, known for high end treatments, stylish haircuts, and authentic Korean salon services. Home to the famous digital
It doesn’t matter where you are right now, because every minute you are born anew. You can absolutely change your life by just changing your energy, changing your state, and approach life with action and optimism. It’s conventional for society to equate money to success. But money has no energy. It’s just a byproduct of you changing the way you think, move, and communicate. If you are a good person
There is no substitute for real experience and knowledge in marketing, advertising, and PR. I feel bad for small brick-and-mortar businesses who hire “Marketing Officers” who think that “marketing” is simply social media, or online. Post a few Facebook updates and call it “marketing”, LOL. In the same light, I am disgusted at “social media managers” and “digital marketers” who parade as “Marketing Experts” and think that every marketing or
It has been 5 years since my TEDx talk, and I still keep reading, learning, practicing, and observing other speakers. I am still a huge fan of the TED concept, and how I’ve known a lot of the people I follow from watching TED videos online. In the TED format, in under 18 minutes, every speaker gets to captivate an audience, capture their interest, educate them, entertain them, and leave
Time and again, I see photographers, designers, writers, makeup artists, filmmakers, bakers, and all “professional artists” whine about their clients thinking that they should just lower their prices. They go all-out defensive and say that what the people are really paying for, when they hire an artist, is not just something that can be done fast and easy. Instead, they are buying years of study, practice/ expertise, professionalism, materials, even
(Me dancing my I-just-booked-another-6-figure-deal dance.) Whenever I meet with clients, I always make sure I’m dressed well and that I present myself well. There’s no point being in the business of corporate events and PR if I can’t even impress my client with my own personal branding, right? I truly believe in the saying that “clothes make the man (or woman!)” and the better I look, the better I also
It was a great day for Snow Shack and K1 as the newest snow ice destination for Davao (Snow Shack) officially opened its doors to the public on the sunny afternoon of June 1, 2017. Enjoy mouth-watering snow ice desserts with chocolate, mango, red bean, cheese and other flavors as you hang out at their super cute garden cafe.
I remember when I was so cheap. I’d accept $5 for a 500-word article. I’d turn it in before deadline, and it was pre-written, written, and proofread. I started freelancing early, and I got a lot of projects. I earned okay, but I had little time for myself and I had bills to chase anyway.
99 Problems and Spaghetti ain’t one The first time I met Mitch Miller, I was wearing an evening gown. He was wearing denim pants. He exuded an air of seasoned wisdom, confidence, and uncanny humor, and he’s a breeze to talk to. Always brimming with fast wit and great insight, he’s the kind who knows what’s up, and if there are better things to whine about. Now wait ‘til you
