Rebooting My Life

Lately, I have been doing some detoxing – in my physical life, in my spirit, and in my mind. It is something that is more similar to purging, like doing some early spring cleaning at my home or something like that.

I feel compelled from the very depths inside of me to cleanse. To get rid of everything that doesn’t serve me. To minimize. To begin again, fresh and new. That is no accident.

Parting Ways On Facebook

Parting Ways On Facebook

I am very interested in knowing why some of my Facebook buddies decided to unfriend me. In general, I am a casual, relaxed person. Most of the time I avoid conflict whenever I can, both online and offline. In other words, I am far from being a keyboard warrior.

My Thoughts on Downsizing

Choose to be Successful

At some point I have lived a life filled with chaos and uncertainty longer than I wanted. It has been a roller-coaster ride and I came to realize that anytime I was facing struggles, it was hard for me to see the path to a change or to success. Yet, that path is always there and the solution is to embrace these challenges. Going through challenges helps you develop a hunger for a better life.

Sure, being broke and struggling is never desirable, but this is also part of the process of attaining success. For succeeding it is inevitable that you take the right action and ask the right questions in the midst of your struggle.

The Tortured Souls of the City

Tortured Souls of a City

Manila is pretty much a voracious giant. If you get sucked into it, this city will eat you and spit you out unchewed and repeat. It’s a bustling city with highs and lows and a lot of things to see … positively and negatively.

Just to give you an idea …

The region around Manila (15 cities) holds a total population of estimated 22M, with a growth rate of 2.5% per year for this metropolitan area.

Being a Pinoy, a German with Filipino roots, I have grown up outside of my home country most of my life, and nowhere else have I seen the difference between the rich and the poor being more noticeable than in Manila.
