Rediscover - Rebuild - Recreate

How do you write your blog as a beginner?  Based from my experience.  I've been asked about my blogging process and whether it's straightforward. Typically, I write my blog during my leisure time when I have some downtime and don't have other commitments. My approach begins with jotting down notes about recent events and my thoughts before crafting sentences and paragraphs. To illustrate, consider one of my most popular blog posts: FACING MY INSECURITIES As an example, let's take a look at one of my most well-received blog posts titled "Facing My Insecurities," which I wrote on September 9, 2023. This piece originated during an idle moment in the early hours of the morning, around 2 am to 3 am. Faced with boredom,I wanted to use my energy for something useful, so I started thinking and writing about my insecurities. I was indeed feeling insecure and I wanted to take a step beyond that and know what I should do to prevent myself from feeling insecure so I helpe...

 YOU GLOW BABE "BEAUTY WHITE" As mentioned in my introduction blog post for my skincare journey,  I don't have any skincare essentials, vitamins or any consistent regimen.  However, a few months ago, I stumbled upon a trending vitamin supplement on Tiktok, and the buzz around it got me curious.I decided to give it a try, taking advantage of a sale, but truth be told, I wasn't fully invested in self-care at that point. So, the pack sat on my shelf, largely forgotten. This is 'YOU GLOW BABE BEAUTY WHITE' an Advanced Whitening Vitamin-C supplement that seemed to be all the rage. But today, I'm making a commitment. I've decided to incorporate this supplement into my daily routine, taking it each morning and night for the next three months. I want to see for myself if it lives up to the hype. And here's the exciting part—I'll be taking detailed notes and sharing my journey with 'YOU GLOW BABE' with my readers and my future self. I've tak...

Writing this on September 22, 2023:  In my journey of self-reinvention, it's essential to focus on self-care, and that includes taking care of your skin. Whether you're a 25-year-old single mother or anyone looking to rejuvenate their appearance and boost their self-confidence, investing in skincare is a fantastic way to start.  I don’t want to be called “ losyang ” anymore.  It is where you've reached a point where you feel like you've let go of self-care and allowed the " losyang " label to define you. This term, often used to describe someone who has stopped making an effort to take care of themselves, can feel like a heavy weigh t to carry. I don’t have any skin care, skin essentials or even vitamins that I drink. I don’t even get 8 hours of sleep but I am determined to change that part of me. This photo was taken on September 21, 2023, with my cousin, her boyfriend, and Jeremy, who kindly helped me clean the house and rewarded ourselves by eating Samgyups...

In today's conversation, I had a meaningful discussion with my friend Jeune, who shares my passion for a healthier lifestyle and a positive mindset. I began by sharing my thoughts and seeking Jeune's opinions, which led to him pointing out some negativity in my previous blog posts. He encouraged me to adopt a more positive outlook to attract positivity into my life. Jeune and I both share a business and travel mindset, although he possesses a deeper understanding of business concepts. During our conversation, we covered several key topics: 1. **Positive Mindset:** We discussed the inevitability of failure and how crucial it is to maintain a positive attitude. Jeune emphasized the importance of dreaming big and learning from small failures. 2. **My YouTube Account:** We talked about my YouTube journey and the significance of consistency, regardless of the number of viewers. Jeune advised me to focus on execution and trust that the results will come in the future. 3. **Business M...

From Sedentary to Strong: My Path to Becoming Physically Fit in 2023  Part 3 : Building a Fitness Community In this segment of my blog, I want to emphasize the importance of commitment in my fitness journey. As I mentioned previously, I've made a firm decision to prioritize going to the gym with very few exceptions, such as travel and illness. This decision to fully commit to the gym has been a game-changer for me. It's easy to come up with excuses to skip a workout: a busy schedule, tiredness, or just not feeling like it. But I've realized that these excuses only hold me back from achieving my fitness goals. So, I made a pact with myself to eliminate these excuses and make the gym a non-negotiable part of my routine. One of the challenges I've faced on my journey from being sedentary to becoming physically fit was the feeling of loneliness at the gym. I used to do my routines alone, and while I did have a friend with me, our schedules and workout intensities didn't...

From Sedentary to Strong: My Path to Becoming Physically Fit in 2023  PART 2 Counting Calories In Part 2, I want to share a crucial aspect of my fitness journey that doesn't start with exercise but is equally essential. Through extensive research on the path to becoming physically fit, I've come to realize that you truly are what you eat. While I'm not a nutrition expert, and I wouldn't presume to offer dietary advice, especially since I'm still a beginner on this journey, I recognized the importance of tracking my food intake and calorie consumption. Typically, I jot down important notes on my iPhone, but this time, I felt the need for a dedicated app to monitor my calorie intake more effectively. Since my physical planner wasn't readily available, and I hadn't yet created a digital fitness planner, I decided to explore available options. That's when I came across the "MyFitnessPal" app. You can also visit their website at: https://www.myfitne...

  From Sedentary to Strong: My Path to Becoming Physically  Fit in 2023 PART 1 Part 1: Introduction It's astounding how swiftly 2023 has unfolded, almost as if the days melted into one another. Starting from the crisp dawn of January, the calendar pages turned, and now, surprisingly, it's already September. Nevertheless, this blog is dedicated to documenting my path towards achieving physical fitness – my personal fitness journey. Here I stand, weighing 61 kgs on September 4, 2023, marking the beginning of my gym journey. I'll admit, discipline hasn't fully set in yet, and I still find myself searching for that daily dose of motivation to hit the gym. Countless excuses have tempted me, from cozying up in bed to indulging in movie marathons or binge-watching series. I've even used my menstrual cycle as an excuse to skip the gym, and even when it ended, I hesitated, thinking I lacked the right workout attire or the funds for a coach. But in reality, I've been side...

Finding Solace Alone: My Insomnia Reflections Reflecting on the Empty Spaces              It's 1:28 AM on September 14, 2023, and I find myself struggling with insomnia, which leads me to reach out to my friends at midnight in hopes of engaging in random conversations to help me fall asleep. This ongoing battle with insomnia is truly frustrating. I find myself pondering: how can I take care of myself if I can't even manage to get a good night's sleep? At the moment, I don't have any pressing issues, and I'm not feeling stressed. However, the idea of being alone in my house while my baby Kylie is on vacation for a few days is actually quite unsettling. I kept searching for some form of company until it was 5 AM, and only then did I manage to fall asleep. This has been happening for a few days now. During this time, I tried to buy some time by simultaneously playing Valorant and watching the Korean drama 'Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.' Suddenly, my int...

In the vast digital landscape of YouTube, where countless creators share their passions and expertise,  I recently found myself on an intriguing journey.  After conducting thorough research and exploring various meal prep videos on YouTube and then I checked on calorie tracker applications online where I saw that I came from 54 kgs May 8 of 2020 to 74.4 kgs September 16, 2022 with a photo of my belly and now I am currently 61 kgs September 4 of 2023, I've come to a deep realization. I'm eager to share my personal journey towards self-improvement with the world, and I believe that YouTube is the perfect platform for documenting this transformative experience. As I embark on this journey, I see YouTube as a valuable tool for tracking my progress over time. I envision being able to revisit my earlier videos and witness the evolution of my personal growth, which is incredibly motivating for me. Looking ahead, I aspire to connect with an audience, should one emerge, and share the d...

As days passed by, I felt so lost and as I felt this. I became more insecure of myself and in this matter, things were different from me.  Have you ever had those days when getting out of bed felt like an insurmountable task? Days when eating seemed impossible because it felt like a form of self-inflicted pain? Times when your lack of happiness led to neglecting self-care, leaving you utterly exhausted and feeling like a total wreck? If you ever said " YES " to any of those questions, then we are the same. I often get called lazy by my mother but I just can't tell her that I had no more will to live, that my thoughts have become so dangerous that it's damaging my productivity and losing myself to something I can't even understand.  However,  I wanted to make a stand for myself and fight. I can't lose my life to my thoughts and my feelings then I looked at the mirror and saw this insecure girl who had absolutely no-one to hug her on times she can't fight bu...

The primary focus of this blog is dedicated to the process of rediscovering, rebuilding, and ultimately recreating a completely new version of myself. It's about embarking on a transformative journey that will result in a superior, more improved version of myself, benefiting not only me but also the world around me. Thank you.
