My Self-Esteem The past few decades were nothing but mostly had no choice but to be slaves to my anxiety and to the opinions of other people. Well, of course, there must be always some sweet memories that I can find in every year that passes by.   Since a kid, I already suffered from loneliness and a lack of self-confidence. This cost my worth to deteriorate. I compare myself to everyone regarding their talents, skills, and looks. However, I always believe as a child that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Psalms 139:4). Because of my low self-esteem, I was easily swayed by discouragement and not having the courage to cease people from controlling me. The bullying and taunts I received from my classmates played a major role in damaging my character, identity, and ‘pagkatao' which is a Filipino term for the character. People always tell me to always bring my confidence, but I really don’t know personally where to get them! As a child, whenever I prepare for school, I can ...

Last year of school! Preparation for the real world! Becoming an adult! ATAR scores are on their way! Such an overwhelming period!  Seven years ago, I was preparing for Year 12 and we have to choose our subjects for the preparation for uni. Some people prefer doing trade work after finishing school so they can just proceed with practical subjects. It is my choice to attend university I have selected subjects that simply compliments my desired course.  I have chosen subjects that compliments the area of Commerce and one of them is the law subject called 'Legal Studies.' It is my first time doing the unit and honestly, I have learned a lot about the law systems of some countries. In Australia, English and Maths are always compulsory subjects and everyone has to take them. Depending on the school, each has different levels for some subjects and/or units that they offer. I have been residing in Australia for about four years since I was in Year 12 and yet, I am still recovering fr...

I was nowhere to be found! I was lost! I have no idea where to go! Lots of pressure and doubts are invading my mind! Should I listen more to what I believe is best for me or emerge myself to the opinions of others (because they think that their thoughts are 'best' for me)? Goodness! It is lonely to be on this rough road! No one understands how I exactly feel! I can't even tell my parents too, it's not because I don't have trust in them but there are things that we can't tell them right? I believe that I also don't have a place on Earth.  Until... I Did Not Realise that God will GIVE me more than what I asked for!  The Intros... Back in 2017, I found my interest in taking cheerleading to the fullest when I saw a social media for an adult cheerleading club throughout my dream uni. Only students at my dream uni can participate in the club, however. At the same time, I am quite confident that I can showcase my skills as I was a worship dancer in a church that I ...

I know that one day God will wipe off all of our tears and sadness and change it with joy and peace. :) Every billion person in the world is born to be beautifully broken and this means we are neither perfect nor flawless. In fact, God has created and molded us beautifully broken. Remember that God loves us more than we ever imagined because He is the one who created us! I'll tell an inspiring story of the person whom I knew for letting God be the center of her heart. There was a girl who grew up as awkward, shy, and quiet, and a struggled of nurturing her self-esteem. Despite her flaws, others have perceived her as a God-fearing, good daughter, sweet, kind, smart, and blessed with good looks (similar to celebrities' standards of beauty, think about a Philippine actress name...

Lovin' the Footy Culture

-
Image
Since migrating to Australia in 2011 from the Philippines, I never became a fan of Australian rules football or simply known as the Australian Football League (AFL). I did not understand the rules so I never took an interest in this sport. AFL is one of Australia's cultures that impacts its community and economy and I did not realize that, which causes me to feel bad. I arrive in Australia as an only child. When I turned 15, my younger brother came into this world. As he grew up, I never mentioned anything about football or anything that associates with men. However, at the same time, I was concerned that he might not know anything about this culture when he commenced attending school.  The reason behind this is his friends and classmates will certainly talk about footy while I can feel that he has no idea about their conversations and even out of the topics. This is also a struggle for me, as I stay in this nation, I was never aware of anything that is relevant to footy which...
