Down Below | Literature 2017

-
Down below people walk the streets
Down below everything seems surreal
Down below it's like a fantasy
Life goes on with or without me

I face the heavens with one tiny prayer
Please guide me away from the edge of the brazier
Take my hand and lead me Lord
I'm not so sure of this letter

I close my eyes and feel the wind rushing by
Like thousands of murmurs and whispers
Welcoming me, seducing me
To be one with the pavement down below

Restart | April 2020

Okay.

Hi!

Restarting this blog again because apparently I want my own website and I am definitely going to buy my own domain (Edit: I actually just finalized buying the domain OMG)-- so might as well make use of this wonderful little blog.

So..

Back to basics, I guess?

I'm Nessa, 24, an aspiring blogger living in Bonifacio Global City. I tag myself as "Your Resident Bulakenya in Manila", and honestly, I really want to change it but apparently it has now stuck on me, so here we are. I create beauty and lifestyle content for Instagram, Facebook and Youtube. I also livestream regularly on Shopee, talking about trending and relevant topics in the industry. On this blog, I will also be posting similar content.

But that's about to change now that I actually have my own website!

So yeah. Restart!

I'm Nessa, your resident Bulakenya in Manila!

I just turned 24, and I am slowly being even more passionate about content creation. So, at this point, I am not just into the su…

First Impressions: Ava Luna by Kylie Padilla | March 2020

Ava Luna by Kylie is Kylie Padilla's bath essentials line which just launched on the 4th of March, 2020 at 11AM.

This bath essentials line is inspired by Kylie's passion for self care and dream about creating her own skincare line.

This is line resonated with me because of the advocacy -- mental health and taking care of one's self. I think that in this day and age, although we are more open about mental health, there is still something missing about actually learning about how to take care of yourself, that there is still a slight disconnect on how to take care of your physical and mental health. I believe that these two are inseparable, taking care of my mind and my body are one and the same -- and I enjoy products that combine the two.

Congratulations Kylie, my Hara Amihan, for this beautiful bath essentials launch. I am very grateful for the chance to be able to actually try this before the actual launch. Connecting with you and your team was a breeze, and I wish you a…

Self Esteem and Confidence | 2020

Last week, I joined a group on Facebook that is focuses on self esteem improvement by means of journal writing. I am a bit late to the party, as this started last May 1st, but I still decided to go and catch up.

Also, i have decided that I'm just going to churn out blog posts whenever I want to. Writing has always been my solace and my escape, and I am going back to it. I am going to make sure I am okay first before I go ahead and try to make things better for others.

This weeks focus is identifying root causes, and the prompt given is:

What does your self esteem and and confidence look like right now? Identify a few areas you feel your self esteem is weak and a few areas where you feel it is strong. Be as detailed as possible. How does your current self esteem benefit you or limit you? 
Right now, May 5th, 2020, my self esteem is pretty much non-existent. Mostly because I am seeing my peers be more successful than I am, and it hurts. Big time.

I feel like I am chasing something …
