Perfectly Imperfect Me





Title: Perfectly Imperfect Me
Writer: Mark Andrew Proctan Adonis (SuperMarkyMacky)



I wasn't born rich, I wasn't born to be royalty, I wasn't born with superpowers, and I wasn't born to be the next Helen of Troy, "the face that launched a thousand ships". I honestly don't know why, for God's sake, why? I guess, I was stubborn in my past life, but all kidding aside. It's somewhat fine. As I assessed myself in the mirror, I could see a "jack of all trades", master of none, a "so-so" in all aspects. I can say, I'm at this stage where I'm still struggling to wholeheartedly accept myself, as I am, and it's somewhat fine. Self-acceptance, big word for many and a challenging work for me.

It's a long and winding road, with humps and bumps, especially nowadays, we are living in a generation where more often than not, the amount of likes on your Instagram account is so precious. Subscribers on your YouTube channel? The more, the merrier. Hearts on your tweets and TikTok videos? The more, the better.

We are living in a generation where everyone seems seeking validation from others, from strangers on Social Media platforms, from netizens, and it's undeniably contagious.

Everyone has their own timeline, as they say. And here I am, still acknowledging the process of embracing my flaws. I'm not yet fully ready to accept the "perfectly imperfect me" and it's somewhat fine. I'm not going to rush this. I'm not going.

WOW Philippines 2024: Moalboal (Cebu Again)

Cebu , I’m back—back for you. I’ve missed you, and I hope you’ve missed me too. Welcome me again as I begin to explore you even deeper. Let me start by saying this: this trip happened almost three years ago, at a time when life felt unbearably heavy. After everything I went through, I needed an escape—a moment to breathe. And this journey became exactly that. It was my oasis in the middle of a desert, a quiet refuge when everything else felt chaotic. In many ways, it felt like something heaven-sent—an answered prayer that gently helped soothe and steady my heart. What about you—how do you cope when life takes an unexpected turn? How do you rise after everything seems to fall apart? And when the unforeseen happens, when you feel completely unprepared, how do you begin again? Have you ever come across the idea of grounding, or “ earthing ”? I started noticing it through videos online, and from what I understand, it’s essentially about reconnecting with the earth—...

Paradise Philippines 2025: Siargao

Para, para, paradise!! Lovely morning, y’all! How’s everyone doing? It’s already May, and so much has been happening lately, office dramas, rotational brownouts, mood swings, the rainy season creeping in, rising inflation, bits of great news, and heartbreaking headlines caused by corrupt politicians. But through it all, you and I still have to keep moving forward, keep showing up, and keep choosing life every single day. That’s probably why little escapes and quiet moments away from the noise feel extra special these days. Today, we’re diving into a new blog post, and I have a question for you: if you were given the chance to escape today — even just for a little while — away from all the responsibilities and stress of the world, where would you go? Would you finally visit the place you’ve been dreaming about for so long? Or would you rather wander off to somewhere random, with no plans at all? More than two years ago, I found myself asking this question: now that I finally had...

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...
