When I first started chasingpotatoes.com, it was honestly more of an outfit–outfitan blog hahaha — basically me trying to do fashion content. But I really couldn’t maintain that lifestyle; it was too expensive(makapordoy 😭), and I didn’t exactly fit the vibe hahaha! 🥲

It’s been a long time since I last set foot in Cebu and wow, how I’ve missed it. My last visit here was such a chaotic, drama-filled ride that it felt like a teleserye. That’s why, before doing anything else—before making trips, detours, and foodie stops, I knew I had to visit Sto. Niño Church first. I wanted to say my prayers, give thanks and reflect on the journey and lessons life has handed me. ❤️

9:00 AM – A Wavy Start to an Exciting Day
Our day began with a bumpy ferry ride from Hong Kong to Macau, which, to be honest, heightened my anxiety and made my hands sweat profusely (lol!). The waves made for an adventurous start, but eventually, I let go of the fear, got used to the motion, and drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, the excitement of exploring a new destination quickly took over, haha! By the time we arrived, I was ready to experience everything this vibrant city had to offer.
As an anxious flyer, I still can’t believe I have set foot in Hong Kong! But here I am, totally filled with nervousness with a slight touch of excitement (of course, excited pa rin, hehe 😜). Huge thanks to Harold for inviting me to be his plus one on this Hong Kong adventure. And a special thanks to his Boss for making this trip possible. I’m truly grateful for this amazing chance to fly again out of the country. Woohoo!

After attending an insightful HR symposium at the PICC, my colleagues and I got hungry, especially after all that learning! Whew! 😅 One of them told us about their experience at The Orange Bucket, which totally got us curious and even hungrier, lol! 😂 So, we thought, why not give it a shot—though, I gotta admit, it felt pricey for a broke person like me, haha. 💸 We made our way to DoubleDragon Plaza, placed our orders, and crossed our fingers, thinking, “I hope this is worth the splurge!” 🤞🍽️
As an introvert who gets a bit anxious in social situations, the idea of working in HR—a field known for its emphasis on interpersonal skills and extroverted personalities, or in other words, being great with people (HAHA!🤣)—was totally overwhelming for me. HR is not in my comfort zone; it’s not my cup of tea. Yet, here I was, attending an HR symposium at the PICC in Pasay, Manila.
