"Te sientes como humano otra vez?" (Do you feel like a human again?)

My friend's question echoed in my head after emerging from a much-needed shower. I had spent the past 24 hours shuffling from couch to toilet, courtesy of a vicious stomach flu.

Worst of all, I wasn't at home; I was crashing at a friend's place in Barcelona for what was supposed to be a fun weekend getaway. Argh! Here I thought my pinoy-trained-tummy-of-steel would shield me from the creeping virus.

Twenty-four hours, three bananas, and countless chugs of water later (Oh, and the hot shower!), I did feel human again. The bad juju was purged. Gaudi and ceramic painting brought in creative energy. And quality time with amazing, kind-hearted folks gave me the positivity I needed to get through a crammed agenda.

January was jamfreakinpacked. (It was JAMMEDuary.😆 Tududugtug-tshhh!🤡)

With the start of February, I find myself needing to trim down my agenda and focus on what truly adds value to my days:

* Dedicating 5 hours a week in exchange for co-working privileges at ImpactHub

* Volunteering for Alboan; helping improve their newsletter to donors

* My Saturday psychology course on self-esteem and confidence

* This blog

* And the new job! Woot! I’m in the negotiation phase.🤞🏻 This coming week is critical.

All of the above are keepers. My podcast is a question mark. And this new online marketing course with its abysmal UX design? I wish I could chuck it out the window.😩

Let’s go, Universe! I’m ready to flow and make it work.

There’s no time to waste, people. Let’s get living! Just wanted to say a quick hey.🤗

Heyyy!
