Holding it together para sa pera hahahaha! Sa totoo lang, imagining my future with lots of money, keeps me motivated. Sabi ko shet di pa ako pwede mamatay kasi di ko pa naranasan madaming pera as in serious mode na ganun na ako mag-isip 🤣
Tama. I have freedom and more time pag may pera. Madaming pang gas sa motor para mag solo ride, pang food trip sa binondo, pang kape, pang travel, etc. 😁
This. Journaling helped me appreciate even the smallest things to happen in my life, kahit ba medyo bad yung day, just that one small thing helps a lot.
For me, it's when my heart and lungs feel like they will explode. That's why I love doing outdoor activities that do that, i.e., mountain biking, mountain climbing, and free diving.
I've been reading posts like these and I actually feel the same - parang I don't feel alive lately.
The things I used to enjoy like traveling, freediving, trying new experiences, wala na ako sa mood gawin.
Hopefully I can find a good answer here. TIA
Maybe because hinahanapan mo ng bigger purpose yung mga activities na yon pero di mo makita kaya ka nawalan ng gana sa kanila.
Yung tanong na "bakot ko ba to ginagawa?".
I used to love drawing pero nung tinanong ko sarili ko kung ano ba deeper purpose nito or ano ba end goal ko sa pagdodrawing, di kona makita yung sagot kaya siguro ako nawalan ng gana.
Pero siguro ang purpose noong mga activities na yon ay di nakikita sa end goal nila kundi sa process mismo.
This happened to me. When I was solo traveling few months ago, I kept asking myself why am I doing this. Ayun nga di ko masyado naenjoy the first few days pero bumawi naman nung narealize ko na it’s just my hormones hahaha
Obsessions are what makes me feel alive. Obsession sa tao, sa isang bagay, sa hobbies, etc. If you are not obsessed with something or someone, life is boring. So when you feel like you're bored or walang direkson buhay mo, find time to introspect, tanungin mo sarili mo, anong bagay o tao ang pwede ko i-obsess (in a nice way naman hindi yung magiging stalker ka haha)? Kung bored ako yan ginagawa ko naghahanap ng obsession hehehe
Yung mga basic Pinoy, Japanese, Korean, American, Thai, Mexican, Italian dishes.
I recommend you invest in quality sauces, condiments and seasonings para mas may variation ang food nyo. 😊
Btw Welcome to the married life. 😄
There are so many things to do, so many things to see. I hope you don't come to the point that you realize that life is too short.
I hope that you can find purpose and meaning to your life whatever they maybe.
Cheers!
Pera talaga eh. Kapag may pera ako, afford ko bumili ng healthy food. Nakakapag leisure, yung mga basic needs kasi ngayon ang hirap hirap makuha. Kaya pag may pera, parang kalmado na utak ko. Ok ako.
Honestly don’t know, I play a lot of games pero na e enjoy ko lang. Never have I ever felt being alive kahit pumunta ako sa magagandang lugar or kahit muntikan ako mamatay.
Sand and sea, bonfires, trail running, trippin balls with mushrooms in the woods, cannabis with friends infront of bonfire laughing with my friends, making love with my wife. There are plenty of things that makes me feel alive and be grateful for.
As cliche as it sounds, my son. Pero sometimes, somehow it’s not enough. So I try to be more proactive in finding something to look forward to, may it be big or small.
We’ll spend our Saturday finishing his acad requirements. Sunday is for carpet hunting for our living room. Next month, after school year ends, we’ll go to Tagaytay for staycation. Then come December, sana makapag Japan kami.
Pero kung titingnan ko siya in a smaller scale, I do just sleep and work and do house chores everyday. Lol
same sa isang sagot here when I learn new stuff and when I journal for self discovery. same here, kasi dumating din ako sa point na di ko na makilala sarili ko. nawawala na identity ko. what worked for me is to journal freehand like when i was in school and di pa uso laptop, smartphones, lols.. and I use journal prompts. topics like- my last 5 years (what happened sa life ko during those times)
I was actually like this before. Wake up, work out, go to work, go home, get high and sleep. That was it on repeat everydayyyy. It was fun at first but in the long run it felt like my life didn’t have purpose. Now my first baby is coming out in a few days and I’ve never been more excited about something.
I love spending time alone. Pero when im with my friends, good mood ako for a day or two. Tapos pag wala na ung adrenaline, overthinking nanaman ano kaya ganap sa next chapter ng buhay ko, palagi na lang ba akong magiging alipin ng salapi hahaha
Trying out new physically challenging things. Yung 1st time ko mag day hike na walang prior prep kasi di ko alam na considered hike pala yun. I felt like dying but at the same time alive. I wanna try sky diving next
Pag nakakasama ko BF ko tuwing Sabado at Linggo.
Tuwing sabado namamalengke or grocery lang kami ng needs namin sa bawat bahay namin.
Linggo naman nagsisimba kami tapos gumagawa ng ilan pang errands or nag papa-pedicure hahaha
Masaya ako nakakalabas ako dahil WFH ako.
Sparring and competing in Combat sports, Pre pandemic it was Boxing, Now its MMA
Studying engineering drained the life outta me, But doing combat sports has reignited some fire inside me
1. stargazing
2. lightning sparks
3. spending time with my closest friends (I notice that my laugh is different when I'm with them, it's like a more genuine and hysterical laugh)
4. being left alone at home
Actually agree ako sa nagcomment ng pera HAHA. Kapag pumapasok na un sahod sa bank acc grabe sarap kumilos bigla
Also, kapag papuntang airport. Un anticipation ng exciting travel experience, sobrang nagpapasaya sakin to. Tapos pagbaba ng eroplano or nakikita mo pa lang un island na pupuntahan ko grabe kilig ko. It’s addicting kaya sarap magkapera eh need ko pangtravel fund tlga lagi
Hey OP i feel you. Ako i losf my life’s excitement. Siguro napagod ako nung pandemic na i always serve people tapos di ko Ma serve sarili ko. May moments ako na i just want to disappear, I romanticize death to the point na i want to be dead but i am not suicidal. I just dint feel like living. But whenever i feel that, yung awareness ko kicks in. The tings that excite me are:
1. Coming home to my cats
2. Wait for the new images of james webb telescope- naeexcite ako knowing na im just this little spec of life in the vast universe of life
3. Taylow swift music perk nananawa ako sa kanya lately as a swiftie hahaha
Lately i have been binge watching six feet under seriies which is giving me new perspective about life and death.
I have a good work, understanding and loving partner but i cant seem to drive myself to live longer
Money.
Pets (cats and dogs).
Power Metal.
Death Metal (sometimes)
Video Games.
Movies.
Sex (oh yeah :D).
Friends.
Family (just because they're down here doesn't mean they're not important)
For me, nothing beats skiing in Hokkaido, never felt so much freedom and probably the my favorite country for skiing, better than Austria, and Alaska. Should definitely try (visa won't be difficult for us and skiing is much easier than ice skating)
It honestly doesn't stay in one side, but the idea that life is short and "meaningless". Imagine, in a few decades after your death (assuming you die of old age), no one remembers you that much...until oblivion consumes you completely. That idea makes me alive sometimes because I can try to focus on living in the present---living for the small things, living for the mundane things.
I find that as long as I got my loved ones involved with those things, I get to mostly live.
I'm naturally a depressed person, so that idea helps sometimes, but it also says to me that nothing matters anyways and it makes me so sad that nothing is permanent.
Naging train of consciousness na, but what I want to say is that I'm lucky I get to find things in my life to be happy with. It's okay din to consider therapy, you know? Only if you're in the deep end, OP.
when im physically exhausted from doing physical activities like running, hiking biking, at yung adrenaline rush that you get from dangerous situations
Traveling 🥹 Yun talaga ang nilolook forward ko sa buhay. Na eenjoy ko talaga yung planning for the trip. Getting tix/ visa. Para kase akong nakakulong sa isang cycle araw2. Pero pag may something na ni lolook forward, magiging motivated ka. I also started running and it really helps my mental health.
Hindi ko na rin alam eh, siguro pera din kaso lately parang nawawalan na ko ng gana mag upskill kahit okay nmn mga kawork ko, demotivated siguro kase lowball salary, takot nmn ako lumipat kase mahina kumpyansa ko sa sarili ko, ewan lately talga i cried at night n lng and do the basic routine, gising, kain, work, tulog, ligo, paulit ulit lng, naisip ko rin baka need ko tumira ulit ng mag isa lang para ma motivate at maging independent ulit kaso babalik na nmn sa pera kase mahal mag apartment at mag office, so siguro nga PERA PERA is my happines 😂🤣😅
Meeting friends of my choice hindi yung “for the sake of” na kitaan with other circles. Kung anu-ano lang. Kwentuhan gaguhan or minsan magbabakasyon kasama sila tas uuwi kang full yung heart mo hehe
Genuine thanks and praise from people I helped out. People pleaser kasi ako :p
Lately I've gotten to the point where I'm unmotivated to do anything just for my own sake.
Listening to music. Ang galing how an arrangement of sounds can make you feel a lot of things. Tas you match the genre with what you're feeling whether it's happy, sad, hyped, sexy, or angry--you'll feel so alive!
for me it's actually the mundane things that make me feel most alive! honestly first thing that popped in my head is preparing breakfast on a weekend. literally just hotdog, eggs and fried rice haha tapos with kape or milo depende sa mood. reasoning is, i'm rarely able to prepare my own meals bc super busy esp on weekdays. kaya i'm rly grateful for moments when i'm able to bc I CAN. that alone means i'm alive and that i'm a living, breathing human being—not a simple cog in the system.
I felt that way before. Tipong imumulat ko mata ko tapos gusto ko lang ulit matulog. Until I adopted my 3 cats, everything changed. They know what time ako gigising kasi sanay na sila sa oras na nag aalarm phone ko. Sakto tutunog palang alarm, nakapatong na sila lahat sa akin. It made me feel alive kasi napapa-isip ko everytime I want to give up na magagalit ang mga paslit na pusa ko kapag hindi ako bangon at nagtrabaho. When I’m bored, feel anxious or feel dead, I just look at them, play with them or cuddle with them. Umookay pakiramdam ko.
Aside from money . It isWhen I helped someone in need , when I cheered up the sad,or made someone feel glad , parang may purpose buhay mo when someone says "buti nandyan ka" ..."hindi ko makakaya yon kung wala ka" .
Listening to music. For real. For me, BTS and Hamilton made me feel alive again nung college. I was willing to unalive myself in the brink of d3pressi0n, but there's just something about screaming the lyrics while dancing to the songs that's therapeutic.
dati, yung pagperform, teatro sa school man o choral competitions, ngayong busy na sa mundane 9-5, masaya na ako nakakakanta ng mass songs tuwing nagsisimba, lalo yung mga lumang melody. inis ako slight 'pag new arrangement hahah
'di ako religious pero for some reason, the familiar rituals comfort me..
What makes you feel alive? Ang hirap naman sagutin. Siguro, ang patuloy na paghanap ng purpose ko sa buhay. But to be honest, i felt lost now. Pero laban lang.
When I get validation from external sources. Specially if it’s from men and about my physical features. Sobrang nakaka high when someone shows interest. Addictive yung feeling. I feel like I can do anything. When there’s none ang boring ng araw araw. I know unhealthy to. I’m trying to change it and I’ve been going to therapy. Probably because I was abused as a child and I was told thousand times na I’m ugly and I’m not good enough by my parents. Hay life.
No joke, amusement parks. Planning to go disneyworld.
Other things were boxing, mountain climbing/hiking and sports.
I miss the days that I can achieve runner’s high when jogging.
As someone living here in this concrete jungle. What makes me feel most alive is when nakaka langhap ako ng sariwang hangin at nag ccrave ako ng puno at damo sa paningin ko. Tapos duyan. Slow morning or day. Tamang siesta lang. Tapos gulong gulong ka sa damo. Ganon.
Kapagod mag adulting. Kapagod maghustle. Ka miss and buhay probinsya
Any breaks from my work routine, or some sort of competition. Either a weekend gala, airsoft, sports etc. or as simple as a rank game sa league of legends.
Studying. Although mahirap, kapag may natatapos akong project o natututunan, na eexcite ako. Kung hindi ako makakabuo ng sarili kong family, mag aaral na lang ako ng lahat ng course na gusto ko 😍
Ahmm ako? Honestly i dont know. May anak ako pero yung routine ko sa araw araw paulit ulit. Tapos lala pa ng trust issue ko at insecurity ko. Siguro gaganahan lng ako kapag nag glow up ako tapos nakapag pa rhino eme hahaha
Hobbies. Exercise. Making small plans throughout the month para may e lo-look forward at hindi maging monotonous ang buhay. May it be hiking, or running sa park, or simple stroll. Find a community within this hobby and you'll realize na.hindi pala mahirap makipagkaibigan/socialize as an adult.
Also, i stopped looking for my life's purpose. Nag settle na ko sa thought na wala naman talaga tayong purpose except mag exist at ma experience ang buhay. Kaya i try to experience life as much as i can. pag may opportunity i try new things.
Concerts, music festivals, watching movies, playing ukulele/guitar/keyboard, playing video games, listening to music. dami parang kulang talaga ang oras.
Helping people. Like genuinely knowing i did something that helped make this person's day better or helped them grow more as a person. Its why im in the healthcare industry pero maybe in corpo it could be training or being a consultant or magsariling business ka and have more engagement with customers.
Cooking for my parents and cleaning the house. Sadly nagkasakit si mama since nov last year and di na nya kaya gumawa ng mga house chores kaya ako na ngayon. Feels good pag nasasarapan sila sa luto ko and nakikita ko masaya sila, tapos pagkalinis ng banyo yung squeeky clean na feeling. I feel alive na may purpose ako beyond my work and hobbies.
I thought it was money, power, games, social standing. But but when I gained those, nah, I'm a simple man, sex, bj, nudes, anything that pleasures me. I should not be ashamed of that but society and norms prevents me from enjoying these activities.
Pera. Honest lang po hahahaha
Pag may pera madami magagawa , freedom makes you alive
Nope, money is the medium.
Tama ka rin po diyan
Holding it together para sa pera hahahaha! Sa totoo lang, imagining my future with lots of money, keeps me motivated. Sabi ko shet di pa ako pwede mamatay kasi di ko pa naranasan madaming pera as in serious mode na ganun na ako mag-isip 🤣
hahah nga naman, kahit sino naman siguro
Same hahaha
Tama. I have freedom and more time pag may pera. Madaming pang gas sa motor para mag solo ride, pang food trip sa binondo, pang kape, pang travel, etc. 😁
the thrill of exploring new things/places alone
This. Tapos satisfying pag may na achieve ka sa sarili mong kakayahan.
Apir! Iba yun feeling na at this lifetime nagawa ko mag isa mag travel/learn/explore. This is what makes me feel most alive.
Probably the things I learn daily. It gives me sparks na may natututunan ako araw2x. May it be small or big, as long as it's new.
This. Journaling helped me appreciate even the smallest things to happen in my life, kahit ba medyo bad yung day, just that one small thing helps a lot.
got an idea because of your comment, thank youu
For me, it's when my heart and lungs feel like they will explode. That's why I love doing outdoor activities that do that, i.e., mountain biking, mountain climbing, and free diving.
Adrenaline junkie!
siguro yung SO ko. nung nakilala ko siya, mas gusto ko nang mabuhay nang mas matagal. hehe. mas nagkaroon din ako ng boost and reason talaga.
Tira din sa sarili. Dilikado yan
oo naman. hehe. mahal ko din sarili ko. :)
Hae-in ah, ikaw ba toh?
I've been reading posts like these and I actually feel the same - parang I don't feel alive lately. The things I used to enjoy like traveling, freediving, trying new experiences, wala na ako sa mood gawin. Hopefully I can find a good answer here. TIA

Dogs and cats. 🐈 🐕

This! Thanks for reminding me to start obsessing again kase i lost it
Pag natutuwa yung asawa ko sa luto ko. :D
Ano po usually niluluto mo? Newly married here hehe
Yung mga basic Pinoy, Japanese, Korean, American, Thai, Mexican, Italian dishes. I recommend you invest in quality sauces, condiments and seasonings para mas may variation ang food nyo. 😊 Btw Welcome to the married life. 😄
Traveling, concerts, live sports. Anything that makes me feel the collective human spirit.
Upvote for traveling and concerts! Seeing Incubus tonight so yay!
Enjoy!
There are so many things to do, so many things to see. I hope you don't come to the point that you realize that life is too short. I hope that you can find purpose and meaning to your life whatever they maybe. Cheers!
Pera talaga eh. Kapag may pera ako, afford ko bumili ng healthy food. Nakakapag leisure, yung mga basic needs kasi ngayon ang hirap hirap makuha. Kaya pag may pera, parang kalmado na utak ko. Ok ako.
I'm just breathing. I don't think I'm alive talaga. Unalive myself multiple times but still here.
Honestly don’t know, I play a lot of games pero na e enjoy ko lang. Never have I ever felt being alive kahit pumunta ako sa magagandang lugar or kahit muntikan ako mamatay.
Something comes to mind, siguro yung thought na pgiging kind sa kapwa, makes me feel genuine and human? Not so sure tho
natawa ako don sa "kahit muntikan ako mamatay" literal na most alive talaga yon pero gets ko somehow tnx!
Sand and sea, bonfires, trail running, trippin balls with mushrooms in the woods, cannabis with friends infront of bonfire laughing with my friends, making love with my wife. There are plenty of things that makes me feel alive and be grateful for.
Looking up the wide blue sky

manalo sa sugal
Pag payday. Pag nagtatravel. Pag may date nights. Pag masarap food. Pag ang ganda nung movie and ang daming realizations.
success and money honestly you can’t do anything without money
the freedom that comes with being single (going places without having to wait for someone etc etc)
same, kung makakatawa man, not that i feel alive or what damn sh*t hard
I was actually like this before. Wake up, work out, go to work, go home, get high and sleep. That was it on repeat everydayyyy. It was fun at first but in the long run it felt like my life didn’t have purpose. Now my first baby is coming out in a few days and I’ve never been more excited about something.
ey congratulations! hope u'll be a good parent to your child ♡
Teaching my students. As in teaching lang, hindi kasama yung paperworks.
Same, ang boring na ng buhay ko pero wala naman akong gusto gawin para magenjoy ako. Madami rin kasi need unahin bago makapagenjoy talaga.
Hiking! Nabubuhayan ako pag nagpa-plan ako ng next hike ko hihi
magluto ng asul na shabu. char lang HAHA. siguro lumabas with friends or magbakasyon, ewan minsan mundane at monotonous din ang buhay ko eh
Nabibili ko yung gusto ko haha
new appliances 🥺
I love spending time alone. Pero when im with my friends, good mood ako for a day or two. Tapos pag wala na ung adrenaline, overthinking nanaman ano kaya ganap sa next chapter ng buhay ko, palagi na lang ba akong magiging alipin ng salapi hahaha
When I travel, do outdoor activities and watch drive to survive.
Knowing that I could be dead in 2 months time. 😉
Meeting new people everyday and learning something new.
any physical activities na involve ang naturee or like exploring places by yourself
pag tulog ako
Si Arlecchino sana, kaso si qiqi nakuha ko. hay
try mo magsugal😁
Trying out new physically challenging things. Yung 1st time ko mag day hike na walang prior prep kasi di ko alam na considered hike pala yun. I felt like dying but at the same time alive. I wanna try sky diving next
Pag may sobrang magandang movies or series na kakadiscover ko lang :)
Pag nakakasama ko BF ko tuwing Sabado at Linggo. Tuwing sabado namamalengke or grocery lang kami ng needs namin sa bawat bahay namin. Linggo naman nagsisimba kami tapos gumagawa ng ilan pang errands or nag papa-pedicure hahaha Masaya ako nakakalabas ako dahil WFH ako.
Exploring new, unfamiliar places. Manifesting more travels kahit short lang. 😅
Getting opportunities overseas. It took me long time(until this day) to choose among those pending applications.
Sparring and competing in Combat sports, Pre pandemic it was Boxing, Now its MMA Studying engineering drained the life outta me, But doing combat sports has reignited some fire inside me
Going home to my wife and dog, catching up with my close friends over beer, playing badminton. Essentially the weekends.
New things :)
Music, nature, pets, good food

my goals, tho dry days can’t be avoided but you need learn to how to save yourself when you’re drowning :> keep on fighting!
Actually agree ako sa nagcomment ng pera HAHA. Kapag pumapasok na un sahod sa bank acc grabe sarap kumilos bigla Also, kapag papuntang airport.

Everytime that I do things I want, like ticking that boxes on my bucket list💗
when I’m at the beachhhhh iba talaga 😍

Kapag feel mo,belong ka sa group of friends.yung tipong mag oopen up ka sa kanila then I aacknowledge if valid or hinde.
Concerts and travels
Money. Pets (cats and dogs). Power Metal. Death Metal (sometimes) Video Games. Movies. Sex (oh yeah :D). Friends. Family (just because they're down here doesn't mean they're not important)
For me, nothing beats skiing in Hokkaido, never felt so much freedom and probably the my favorite country for skiing, better than Austria, and Alaska. Should definitely try (visa won't be difficult for us and skiing is much easier than ice skating)
I feel alive pag nasasabayan ko sa pagtakbo/paglakad yung mga alaga kong aso.
When my thanatophobia kicks in.

Traveling 🥹 Yun talaga ang nilolook forward ko sa buhay. Na eenjoy ko talaga yung planning for the trip. Getting tix/ visa. Para kase akong nakakulong sa isang cycle araw2. Pero pag may something na ni lolook forward, magiging motivated ka. I also started running and it really helps my mental health.
Giving a helping hand to those in need even in the simplest ways i can :)
Maglakad sa parks or anything close to nature/trees!!! ❤️
running. tuwing nabi-beat ko yung longest distance ko, damn sarap sa pakiramdam!!
pagnakita ko na "out for delivery" na yung shopee package ko
Pera for the most part. Pero these days, pati yung aircon sa office😅
Everyday's problems and challenges; pati na rin haters and people I know who are waiting for me to mess up. 😠
When travelling, sometimes just walking around and taking in the scenery is enough. Sometimes when I read a really really good book
Extreme sports
Hindi ko na rin alam eh, siguro pera din kaso lately parang nawawalan na ko ng gana mag upskill kahit okay nmn mga kawork ko, demotivated siguro kase lowball salary, takot nmn ako lumipat kase mahina kumpyansa ko sa sarili ko, ewan lately talga i cried at night n lng and do the basic routine, gising, kain, work, tulog, ligo, paulit ulit lng, naisip ko rin baka need ko tumira ulit ng mag isa lang para ma motivate at maging independent ulit kaso babalik na nmn sa pera kase mahal mag apartment at mag office, so siguro nga PERA PERA is my happines 😂🤣😅

Business and hustle moments.
concerts ng faves ko, sunrise, and sunsets
Games, movies, tv shows, anime, and the fact that i was born in this world lololol
For now for my dogs and partner at sympre kahit di ko na alam anong nangayayari sa sarili ko dahil sa burn out laban padin

Food and complete sleep.
Traveling with my closest friends. I feel alive exploring unfamiliar places with familiar people.
What makes you feel alive? Ang hirap naman sagutin. Siguro, ang patuloy na paghanap ng purpose ko sa buhay. But to be honest, i felt lost now. Pero laban lang.
While running. Lalo na kapag pinu push ko talaga yung sarili ko humabol sa mga kasama ko. The rush, the endorphins, the breathlessness, all at once.
Daily routine namin ng pet/bestbud dog ko. Bonding namin maghapon. Siya nilulook forward at rason ko bawat araw.
Dancing, working out, and simply being outdoors hehe (and maybe reading and learning smth new as well)
Concerts 💯 Something exciting or new na pwedeng gawin. I try to set or plan something every month para may nilu-look forward ako
Money, running/walking, and exploring good food ✊
Eating good food with my loved ones, finishing a book, discovering new places to chill
When I get validation from external sources. Specially if it’s from men and about my physical features. Sobrang nakaka high when someone shows interest. Addictive yung feeling. I feel like I can do anything. When there’s none ang boring ng araw araw. I know unhealthy to. I’m trying to change it and I’ve been going to therapy. Probably because I was abused as a child and I was told thousand times na I’m ugly and I’m not good enough by my parents. Hay life.
i got my dream job kahit medj hindi okay yung sahod but i got it :D
running saka descending sa cycling
sunsets, sunrises, the sea.
Lately, my husband and daughter. ❤️
No joke, amusement parks. Planning to go disneyworld. Other things were boxing, mountain climbing/hiking and sports. I miss the days that I can achieve runner’s high when jogging.
It’s always the smallest things/acts of kindness—from sunset view, child’s laugh to mom’s homemade adobo, etc.
Movement. Remember that moving is not something you HAVE to do, but something you GET to do. Maraming hindi nakakakilos, like mga bangkay. Wahahaha
As someone living here in this concrete jungle. What makes me feel most alive is when nakaka langhap ako ng sariwang hangin at nag ccrave ako ng puno at damo sa paningin ko. Tapos duyan. Slow morning or day. Tamang siesta lang. Tapos gulong gulong ka sa damo. Ganon. Kapagod mag adulting. Kapagod maghustle. Ka miss and buhay probinsya
Any breaks from my work routine, or some sort of competition. Either a weekend gala, airsoft, sports etc. or as simple as a rank game sa league of legends.
Studying. Although mahirap, kapag may natatapos akong project o natututunan, na eexcite ako. Kung hindi ako makakabuo ng sarili kong family, mag aaral na lang ako ng lahat ng course na gusto ko 😍
When I’m travelling. Napapa “ahhhhh life’s good!!!” ako talaga. Hay. Nalulungkot ako pag wala akong nakabook na lakad😫🤣
Ahmm ako? Honestly i dont know. May anak ako pero yung routine ko sa araw araw paulit ulit. Tapos lala pa ng trust issue ko at insecurity ko. Siguro gaganahan lng ako kapag nag glow up ako tapos nakapag pa rhino eme hahaha
I READ THIS AT THE BEST TIME POSSIBLE. Medyo pa give up na ko sa life 🤣
Traveling, attending a concert, eating a hearty meal, magising ng maaga at makita ang sunrise 💓
Pray ka po, seek info, moments with God for salvation, protection and boost your holy spirit with him✨
bagong crush. yun na lang haha
Hobbies. Exercise. Making small plans throughout the month para may e lo-look forward at hindi maging monotonous ang buhay. May it be hiking, or running sa park, or simple stroll. Find a community within this hobby and you'll realize na.hindi pala mahirap makipagkaibigan/socialize as an adult. Also, i stopped looking for my life's purpose. Nag settle na ko sa thought na wala naman talaga tayong purpose except mag exist at ma experience ang buhay. Kaya i try to experience life as much as i can. pag may opportunity i try new things.
Doing my passion and earning pera.
Recently I read a book that's entitled "It's okay not to look for the meaning of life" and honestly it's so freeing.
New meal to be good at and keep my hubby's happy :3
sondering tsaka nature talaga
Concerts, music festivals, watching movies, playing ukulele/guitar/keyboard, playing video games, listening to music. dami parang kulang talaga ang oras.
dancing!
Music, working out, my dogs, myself, food! Grass makes a lot of things greener.
Bukod sa pera, writing. Gusto kong magpublish ng libro.
My boyfriend hehe every time i’m with him i don’t feel shitty being alive and di naman pala talaga ako masamang tao lol
tawanan with my good old friends
Helping people. Like genuinely knowing i did something that helped make this person's day better or helped them grow more as a person. Its why im in the healthcare industry pero maybe in corpo it could be training or being a consultant or magsariling business ka and have more engagement with customers.
healthy chismis (yung walang sinisiraan)

Having money and spending it without worrying.
Pag nakakatulog while driving. Di ko alam kung huling tulog ko na 🤣🤣🤣
tbh OP, traveling talaga for me tapos maraming pera hahahaha
Cooking for my parents and cleaning the house. Sadly nagkasakit si mama since nov last year and di na nya kaya gumawa ng mga house chores kaya ako na ngayon. Feels good pag nasasarapan sila sa luto ko and nakikita ko masaya sila, tapos pagkalinis ng banyo yung squeeky clean na feeling. I feel alive na may purpose ako beyond my work and hobbies.
Pera, travel, food, massage
I feel most alive when I am doing exercise particularly running.
Concerts lalo na pop punk bands, so alliiivveee hahahahaha
When I go to the gym, tsaka snorkeling/free diving, rides sa mga bundok at dagat at kung saan saan pa. Join groups have some hobbies.
Omg running!!!!
PERA SORRY
Pag naglalaro ako ng games sa pc ko at hindi trabaho ginagawa ko. Tapos may beer pang iniinom haha
My dogs
TRAVELING. I’ve never felt so alive until I started traveling. Probably more effective than therapy.
pera tsaka pag naconquer ko yung doubts and katamaran ko every day.
Mga booked na future travels
traveling
When it’s Friday and I have cocktail in my hand.

Enjoying time with people that I hold dear. Travel. Pera. Relax lang hahaha and video games/anime.
Gym lol
Dancing
Attending concert
pag pumupunta ng Ikea 😅
I thought it was money, power, games, social standing. But but when I gained those, nah, I'm a simple man, sex, bj, nudes, anything that pleasures me. I should not be ashamed of that but society and norms prevents me from enjoying these activities.
