Writing a Pokemon Go article on this blog felt weird, I did not have it installed on my phone, because they are not compatible. But it does give me the “aha” moment and it energized every single cell in my body. Anyway, Zalora’s camouflage shoes came in today. It took a week for it to be exchanged.

I think, it is now appropriate to share new bus reading for this week.

20 Things You Don’t Owe Anyone

The biggest thing we need to stop doing is explaining our decisions to others in hopes of their support. We should be confident enough in our decisions that someone else’s opinion doesn’t matter.

Creative Chronicles: When Your Job Is Uninspiring, How Do You Stay Motivated?

The times where I felt uninspired, exhausted or was driven to the point of tears felt completely unbearable in the moment but I learned a lot about myself, what I was good at and where I fell short. Those moments taught me what I wanted more of in my career and what I should steer away from all costs. 

Renee Zellweger writes We Can Do Better 

Maybe we could talk more about why we seem to collectively share an appetite for witnessing people diminished and humiliated with attacks on appearance and character and how it impacts younger generations and struggles for equality, and about how legitimate news media have become vulnerable to news/entertainment ambiguity, which dangerously paves the way for worse fictions to flood the public consciousness to much greater consequence. Maybe we could talk more about our many true societal challenges and how we can do better.

Keats on the Joy of Singledom and How Solitude Opens Our Creative Channels to Truth and Beauty

I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of Imagination — What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth — whether it existed before or not — for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty.

Yesterday was a big day for Filipino Pokemon enthusiasts who has been painstakingly waiting for the Philippines release for the Pokemon Go. And you might be wondering is it available in Nabunturan. Lo and behold, it is. 

There are two POKE stops. The first one is located on the Municipal Hall Fountain the other one is on the St. Therese Parish Church. The big reveal is, Nabunturan Transport Terminal is a level 3 Pokemon Gym, only level five Pokemon trainers are allowed to get in. You will be greeted by Psyduck. 

According to my source, Assumption College of Nabunturan is home to pokemons like Pidgey, Weedle and Zubat. While Nabunturan Transport Terminal has various wild pokemons roaming around its' vicinity, flying types like Spearow, poisonous type like Venonat and normal type like Rattata.

We still don’t have any idea what Pokemon the Provincial Capitol has and the schools like Nabunturan Central Elementary School Sped Center and Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School if you do have any idea send us a howler.


 As of writing, we caught sighting of the beloved Pokemon, Pikachu.

So today I will be sharing  bus reads worthy of your 3 minutes.

Loneliness belongs to the Photographer

The annals of photography contain many extraordinary portraits, but the ones we linger on longest achieve something exceptional: they suggest that in the microsecond it takes for the shutter to blink, some communion has been found, that an unseen life has become a seen one, that attention has been paid, that an act of witness has been accomplished. They remind us how much we want to be seen, and also how infrequently we practice the skill of seeing others. But if there is a cure for the invisibility of loneliness, it is this. It is why, depending on who you are, that click of the camera’s shutter is a sound that evokes either anxiety or relief. Click: I see you. Click: I see you. Click: I see you. You are not alone.

The thing to remember is, just because you love to do something, doesn’t mean you should pursue it as a career.

What I Know About Motherhood So Far

It’s the inability to place why you’re so tightly wound one Sunday, until you realize you haven’t been alone in weeks. It’s panicking at how easily it happened, how you managed not to notice what you needed. It’s you as an afterthought, it’s reminding yourself to think of yourself. Saying affirmations in the mirror. Seeing your baby snot stained t-shirt. Taking a bath. Taking time. Letting go of guilt — or trying to. It’s wanting everything so you can give it away. It’s accepting that you can’t give them everything, not even most things.

Zootopia review – Disney's furry fable gets its claws out for the bigots

It’s still Disney, though, and it concludes happily and without much nuance. There’s ample space given for prey like Judy to apologize to unjustly accused predators (like her fox buddy), and for everyone to grow. It’s a good message, and one that will no doubt infuriate the right, who will say that Disney spent however many millions producing propaganda in favor of, for instance, the Iran deal – to pull one of a hundred different interpretations out of my ear.

When you have too many ideas

Literally write down all your ideas, put them in a jar, and put that jar on a shelf. Alternatively, you can get more organized (and perhaps a bit less dramatic) and shelve your ideas in a notebook. Evernote is also a great place to collect all your thoughts. The idea (heh) is to have a place to capture your ideas so you can get them out of your head and tend to them when the time is right.
